In the ninth year of Jingtai of the Great Jin Dynasty, October 15.

In previous years, this day was very ordinary, at most it was only a few days later than the ancestor worship, and this time the ancestor worship on the ninth day of October was just a small sacrifice, and Jingtai did not go out.

It's just that some of the Sima family's clans and princes are presiding over this matter.

Not even a storm was raised.

There is only one thing that everyone, including the rivers and lakes and the imperial court, is concerned about, and that is the current matter of the Holy Sacrifice to Heaven and the Human Emperor.

With the will of the foreman, the entire capital moved, even if some officials tried to stop it, but nothing was done at all.

The emperor is iron-hearted.

And as long as the powerful ministers in the court do not stop it, then the emperor's will can be fully implemented.

Since a few days ago, a curfew has been implemented in the capital, and no matter how big or small officials are allowed, no matter how big or small, they are not allowed to move. will die, and his family will be implicated.

Therefore, no one dared to say anything that was bad for the scenery of those who had been cut off from the head iron.

The Purple Mountain is located in the east of the capital, the rising sun in the east, and the purple air coming from the east, which is enough to prove some things, the southeast, the northwest, and the east are the first, and the place of worship will naturally be here.

The ancient inheritance is broken, more than a thousand years of chaos, today you destroy me, tomorrow I kill him, these chaos is enough to wipe out most of the things.

Even about the martial emperor who swept the world three thousand years ago, a large part of it is still a rumor, and it is inferred from ancient books with only a few words.

It's like someone is deliberately smoothing things out.

But since the former Chu Liguo, the world has entered a new chapter, and Jingtai's sacrifice to the sky has become the emperor of the people, and most of the rituals are also imitating the Chu Taizu.

Many people know that Jingtai is not qualified to compare with Chu Taizu, and even he himself thinks so, but no one dares to say so in front of him.

Of course, he didn't want to listen to this nonsense.

Incense becomes a god, and the national fortune is the tone he has already set, how can he stop because of some words?

He is not even afraid of stirring up all forces in the world to rebel, is he still afraid of these?

So, everything went well.

Even if the reaction on the rivers and lakes is getting bigger and bigger, so far no one has dared to do it directly against the capital, and many people.... It's all dormant.

Waiting for today's ancestor worship!

Yes, in the ninth year of Jingtai, October 15, it is the time for the emperor to sacrifice to the sky.

"How is it better than Shuzhou?"

Chen Yuan, dressed in black, walked on the street openly, and beside him, there was an old man dressed plainly, whose beard and hair were already gray.

His face was kind.

And he is no one else, it is the Shushan Sect Leader Ling Xuzhen Jun.

On the same day, Chen Yuan rushed to Shushan and asked Ling Xu in the Taiji Palace:

"Senior, follow me to the capital and avenge the fall of your Shushan immortals!"

Ling Xudao people smiled surgingly:

"Let's go!"

He couldn't avoid it, and he didn't want to avoid it.

Now that he has decided to bet on Chen Yuan, and he has shown his potential, how can he avoid things that everyone in the world knows?

Jiang He was in Shushan at the time, but he came in person, and there was no room for him to turn around.

Moreover, Shushan has been inherited for thousands of years, and it was established in almost the same era as the Great Chu of the previous dynasty, and it has received the kindness of the Xiang family and inherited the admiration for Chu Taizu.

That... It's the emperor of men!

Sima's family is not worthy of it.

Now the world is about to be in chaos, this time the capital ancestor worship is the official beginning of the chaos in the world, he hibernated in Shu Mountain, guarding the demon tower for more than 100 years without going down the mountain.

Enough of it.

Therefore, after Chen Yuan spoke, he directly agreed.

Chongxu Zhenjun, Yang Xu, Zhenxu and the two real people were stationed in Shushan together, and he came to Zhongzhou Shenjing City with Jiang He and Chen Yuan with Qingxu junior brother.

"The two are not the same."

Ling Xudao smiled.

Shenjing City is the second city in the world, the capital of the imperial dynasty, how can it be compared with Shuzhou?

"It's just that the old man is a little curious, aren't you afraid of being detected when you come to the capital so unscrupulously?" Ling Xu's old dao thought that Chen Yuan and Jiang He would only dare to stay near the Purple Mountain, which had just been named by Jingtai.

As a result, the two of them seemed to have discussed and went directly into the capital.

Courageous.

Here's what he had to say.

After all, although the imperial court has never preached it, when the world is a great sect of immortals, who doesn't know that there is an immortal in the capital, and that immortal is the founding ancestor of the Great Jin Dynasty.

I still remember that before they made a big fuss in the capital in the Dao Divine Palace, and the Heavenly Demon Palace helped the field, but the hall master Dongfang Sheng only dared to lure Li Crazy out of the capital and play a game outside the city.

I didn't dare to enter the capital at all.

That's enough to say something.

Chen Yuan raised his hand and pointed around:

"Do you think there are few people coming in this capital?"

"Poor Dao has never felt the breath."

"Aren't you hiding my breath now?"

"Hehe, that makes sense."

Chen Yuan pointed in the direction of the Imperial City again and said:

"Do you think that Jingtai didn't know that many strong people would come to the capital today?"

Chen Yuan may sometimes talk about it, but he has never underestimated any opponent, especially the king of a country like Jingtai.

He is stupid and treacherous.

But can he become an emperor, can he secretly control the Wusheng Sect and plan for himself before he ascends the throne, can he be an ordinary person?

Doesn't he know how much reaction it will cause and how many people will rebel if he sacrifices to the heavens and ascend to the throne?

No, he knows, everything knows.

But he did it anyway.

In addition to having to do it, but also because .... He has confidence.

Don't have the confidence to do this?

"So?"

Chen Yuan's eyes condensed slightly:

"So, it's okay to come to the capital now."

Ling Xudao nodded slightly, and didn't say more, but he had a higher evaluation of Chen Yuan in his heart, and he didn't bow his head and bow down, but felt that this kid was the best in the world except for his martial arts talent.

His temperament is not bad at all.

"Rustle..."

The two were chatting casually, and a white dress slowly appeared from the corner, with calm eyes.

"How's it going?"

Chen Yuan's eyes turned.

Jiang He shook his head slowly:

"Not there."

Whether it is Shuanghe Temple or the Marshal's Mansion, there is no shadow of Li Hongshuang.

"It seems that we won't be able to see you until the time of the sacrifice to the heavens."

Chen Yuan sighed.

When he went to the capital this time, he naturally didn't come to play, part of it was to pick up Li Hongshuang and leave, he didn't think that he had to rob women openly.

If you can pick it up early, what if it's a scene in the capital before the sacrifice?

It's a pity that the sky doesn't fulfill people's wishes, Li Hongshuang has already been picked up, and there is no wind at all, it is obvious that it is a means of Li Hongshuang.

I don't want to make some things unhappy before the sacrifice to the heavens.

"Hmm."

"Let's go, go to Qingyun Temple."

Chen Yuan's footsteps did not stop.

In addition to coming to pick up Li Hongshuang in advance, another part of his reason was that he came to Tianxu Laodao.

They hadn't been in touch with each other except for the last parting meeting, and this time it was time for him to make a move.

He has gathered strength and gathered power.

It's time for this guy to invest more.

To put it simply, this is to start diluting the equity on the eve of the listing, and if you don't want to dilute it, then you have to desperately bet on it this time.

With only one Biyou Palace's favor, Chen Yuan could not rest assured.

Ling Xu's face was calm, and he followed step by step, although he didn't know what he was doing to Qingyun Temple, but he just followed, and Jiang He did the same, following his side.

The three true monarchs, and none of them are ordinary yang gods.

This kind of power is enough to make trouble in the capital, and it is enough to kill it.

Coupled with the hidden demon monk Moro, to be honest, this is also where Chen Yuan dares to be unscrupulous and enter the capital to hang out without concealment.

The speed of the three of them was very fast, and it only took a short time to come to the vicinity of Qingyun Temple.

And today's capital has also moved, noon is the time to worship the sky, now the people in the capital and some dignitaries, naturally have to wait first.

To put it simply, it is to charge the number of people.

If it is more complicated, it is that they, civil and military officials, and noble families, have to witness the emperor's sacrifice to the sky.

Of course, there are also people who want to see how it will be today.

When worshipping the sky, there is a great possibility of conflict, which is already the consensus of many people, and no one wants to miss such a big scene.

In front of Qingyun Temple, a few small Taoist children are cleaning the autumn leaves in front of the door, and at the same time purifying the water and washing the streets, which is also what many people are doing now.

The three of them soon came to the door.

Without any communication, the Tianxu Old Dao gradually condensed from far and near, and at this moment, he was no longer as lazy as before, but tied his hair in a bun and wore a purple Taoist robe.

The dust in his hand reflects the image of a fairy wind and a hermit.

He looked at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan was also looking at him.

"Dao Chief."

"Master Hou."

"Remember what you said before?"

"Yes."

Tianxu Lao Dao recalled the scene from the last time they met before, and bowed down and said:

"Poor Dao is waiting for the return of the Hou Ye."

"Fight with me."

"Good."

The Heavenly Void Daoist smiled.

The threesome turned into a four-person line, and the figures of several people were a little dazed, walking in the crowd, but no one could find it, but suddenly, in the process of driving the convoy, Chen Yuan frowned and looked over.

......

Since early in the morning, the princes and daughters of Jingtai and the children of the Sima family have been mobilizing, and Pingyang, as the eldest princess, will naturally be no exception.

Her gaze was always calm, and as the elders of the Sima clan ordered her to prepare, she changed into a grand long skirt and put on a sedan chair with light makeup.

Her heart was still not very calm, but like a pine tree, she forcibly suppressed all her thoughts and sat alone in the sedan chair.

In front of it is the frame of the prince and his concubines.

When passing by the Zhang Mansion, she didn't stop, and when she passed by the Wu'an Hou Mansion, she didn't stop, but at this moment, she seemed to have some perception in her heart.

unexpectedly lifted the curtain on the sedan chair, and then saw the person mentioned by the emperor's brother and the concubine.

Princess Pingyang and Chen Yuan's eyes met for a moment, and their eyes were very calm, as if they were strangers, without any eye contact.

Lowering the curtain, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes.

......

......

The entire capital is mobilizing, concubines, princes, clans, forbidden troops, however, no one panicked with such a big move, because long before, there were elders of the clan who taught it.

They just went to watch the ceremony and shouted hooray.

Other than that, there was no movement at all.

The guards belonging to the emperor have already begun to move, and the imperial city is very empty at the moment, and if there is a big trouble, it is definitely an excellent time.

It's a pity that no one showed up.

After all, who is it to show when you make a fuss?

But what very few people know is that in fact, the emperor did not go to the Purple Mountain, because.... The time has not yet come.

On weekdays, time turns very quickly, and often several hours pass inadvertently, but today, the day of worship, in the eyes of many people, passes so slowly.

"Slow? I feel like I'm always the same. ”

On the top of the stargazing tower, Jingtai, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and wore a crown of Jiuliu, turned his eyes to Cao Zhengxian and said.

"It's the old slave who is anxious."

Cao Zhengxian bowed and smiled.

Somehow, he was actually quite relaxed today, and the emperor who had a gloomy face and a murderous aura condensed on his body was a little.... Kind.

No, amiable is not suitable to call an emperor.

Tolerance, perhaps, would be more appropriate.

Since Jingtai ascended the throne, he has been serving by his side, and it can be said that he has witnessed half of the emperor's life all the way.

It would be more appropriate to call him the King of Success.

After all, he basically hasn't made any big moves except in recent years.

Well....

To be exact, there is no big movement on the surface.

As for the back, Cao Zhengxian didn't dare to think about it, because it was already obvious.

"Where are Gu Gong and Li Gong?"

"Back to Your Majesty, I have waited at the Purple Mountain."

"Where's the uncle?"

"Yes, too."

"Where's the army?"

"300,000 elite forbidden troops have arrived at the Purple Mountain to line up, this time, if anyone wants to make trouble, they will die and have no place to bury!"

"Hehe, no."

Jingtai never put his hope on the forbidden army.

may be able to burst out of power, but compared to many strong people in the rivers and lakes, it is still a little far behind.

There is no need to think about it, how can the world's great immortal sects not come to join in the fun?

The Xiang family, the Dao Divine Palace, such an existence, how can they not stop it, no.... How could he not come and deal a heavy blow to the imperial court, and then promote the chaos in the world?

"Cao Qing."

"The old minister is here."

"You can go too, wait on the Purple Mountain."

"Yes, the old minister retired."

With that, he slowly retreated.

After he left, Jingtai's eyes also looked at the position in the east, and said softly:

"Bodhisattva thinks, how many strong people will make a move this time?"

On Jingtai's side, a golden retriever monkey in a robe, with a compassionate look on his face, slowly shook his head:

"I don't know."

"What does the Taoist think?"

On the other side, an old man in a Taoist robe also slowly appeared, and said with a smile:

"It should be quite a few."

"Hehe, hearing the words of the Taoist chief is better than a seat."

In this way, another hour passed, the sun was already high at this moment, and Jingtai slowly got up:

"Let's go, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens should also begin."

"Hopefully, all the best."
