Chapter 671: Dragon and Phoenix Mountain

On the 10th day of the 14th year of the third month of the 14th year of Yuanhe, this day is destined to be recorded in the annals of history, leaving a strong mark in the long years of the Qianyu region.

Before the dawn of dawn came, the endless and vast bells spread through the heavens and the earth, and the majestic and solemn bells echoed throughout the imperial city and even hundreds of thousands of miles in radius, and hundreds of cities listened to the sacred sound with solemn faces.

At the same time, under the influence of the bells of the imperial city, the bells in these hundreds of cities also rang with them, conveying that divine glory to the farther cities.

In less than half an hour, the entire Tianyang Dynasty, including the original territory and the territory that the three major dynasties have been included in the territorial scope, are reverberating with the sacred sound of heaven, countless Tianyang people look excited, and even many old people cry with joy, they can't imagine that they will be able to enjoy this supreme glory when they are about to enter the earth, celebrate with the country, and the emperor's grace is mighty!

Dugu Dynasty, the king Dugu Tianchen and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu climbed the tower of Dugu Wangcheng, looking at the majestic and magnificent city that could not be seen but actually existed, as if they could see the grand occasion there, and the expression on their faces was very complicated.

Strictly speaking, the Dugu Dynasty did not directly belong to the jurisdiction of the Tianyang Dynasty, in addition to paying tribute every year, the appointment and dismissal of the king had to be approved by the emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, the Dugu Dynasty had a high degree of autonomy, which was similar to the relationship with the Tianyun Sect when Tianyang was still an intermediate dynasty.

It's just that the Tianyang Dynasty at that time had a higher degree of autonomy, and in addition to paying tribute, some orders from the Tianyun Sect could be directly refused, which was the gap in the imperial ranks.

After today, Tianyang will officially become a high-level imperial dynasty, and it will be on an equal footing with a behemoth like Tianyun Sect, without paying tribute, without whispering, and can talk on an equal footing.

But what about the Dugu Dynasty?

It is still a low-level dynasty, it can only be called the king, and nothing has changed, but in the eyes of the Celestial Empire, such a small dynasty is even smaller like an ant, once it has a firm foothold, the middle-level dynasty that was once equal to the Celestial Empire will become the new vassals of the Celestial Empire one after another, and the Dugu Dynasty will lose the right to even connect to the canonization of the Celestial Empire, and it is impossible to say that there is no gap in Dugu Tianchen's heart.

But who can blame?

If the Dugu Dynasty can give birth to a strong man in the Tianxuan Realm, even if it is not a royal family, as long as it can keep people, it can also be promoted to a level and become an intermediate dynasty, it is better to be a phoenix tail than a chicken head, isn't it?

"Congratulations on the ascension of the Celestial Empire, long live the Emperor of the Celestial Empire, long live, long live!" Dugu Tianchen led all the ministers to face that direction and solemnly saluted.

The same voice echoed in the royal cities of every dynasty under the Tianyang Dynasty, sharing glory with the Celestial Empire.

......

Taihua City, Taihua Sect on Taihua Mountain, the sect leader Li Xiaotian stood on the top of the mountain with his hands in his hands, looking into the distance, his expression was inexplicable, and he followed the two veterans left and right.

Different from the low-level imperial dynasties, the sect family and the Jianghu sect have always been well water and do not violate the river water, without any official affiliation, of course, after all, in the territory of the Tianyang Dynasty to survive and gain a foothold, the face of the court most of the time still has to be given, and it will not be easy to get along with the court.

On the occasion of an unprecedented ceremony such as the promotion ceremony, the major forces will symbolically bow in the direction of the imperial city.

But Taihua Sect Master Li Xiaotian has been standing here motionless from yesterday to now, as if he didn't know that today was the promotion ceremony of the Celestial Empire, and let the two elders who came to find him accompany him to watch the scenery, which made people very helpless.

Left and right, he led the disciples of the whole sect to salute and congratulate the imperial city, and it was not a grand event like being there in person, although he felt like he had a cat's claw scratching all the time, and he couldn't wait to fly into the imperial city immediately to witness and share the glory, but he didn't have to do it.

It is impossible for the imperial court to beat Taihuazong into a lawless bandit because of this matter, and then send officials and soldiers to suppress the bandits, right?

Thinking about it this way, the two elders are not calm again, at this time and then, since the annexation of the three major dynasties of Suzaku, Qinglong, and Xuanwu, and after breaking with Tianyun Sect, the domineering and powerful posture of the current Tianyang Dynasty is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the promotion ceremony is such a sacred thing, you Taihuazong is so lazy, it is unreasonable to say that it is small, and if it is big, is it very dissatisfied with the imperial court and wants to rebel?

What's more, because of the existence of the ancestral land, the Tianyang Dynasty attaches much more importance to the Taihua Sect than other sect families, and if it really wants to cause the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty, I am afraid that the Taihua Sect will not be the Taihua Sect.

"Sect Master, do we have to get down to business first?" Xiao Tianqi said stiffly.

"Yes, the main sect likes the scenery here, and after finishing the business, Elder Xiao and I can accompany you to watch it for three days and three nights!" Elder Chen also persuaded.

"I've decided, go to the Imperial City in person to congratulate the Celestial Empire!" Li Xiaotian suddenly spoke, his words were not shocking, and the two elders were stunned on the spot.

The promotion ceremony has begun, and you said that you want to enter Beijing at this time?

Dare you stand on the top of this mountain all night, just thinking about whether to enter Beijing?

If you really want to say it earlier, how can you still do it?

"Sect Master, it's a long way to the capital, I'm afraid it's too late, right?" Xiao Tianqi said with a stiff face.

"No! it's too late!" Li Xiaotian said with great certainty, and suddenly walked away as if he had an iron heart.

"Then Elder Xiao and I will accompany the Sect Master!" Elder Chen hurriedly said.

"I'm going there alone! Li Xiaotian's voice came from afar, so that the two elders were not depressed.

We really want to go...... Although I don't know what the sect leader's idea is, even if I can't participate in the promotion ceremony in time......

......

Tianyang Imperial City, the bells are endless, the sound of ritual music is full of joy and joy, above the sky, the golden wings are carved in front, the kamikaze is carved in the back, and a void avenue is spread out in red and hung with colors.

The long procession set off from the palace and drove mightily to the outside of the city, and along the way, the people celebrated and shouted long live the emperor.

Today is the grand ceremony of the Tianyang Dynasty, with the people, in addition to the decoration of the flying spirit beasts, the imperial city is forbidden to the sky, the left and right parts of the Praetorian Guard perform their duties, the distribution of the Imperial Forest Army echoes from the front to the end, in the middle is the dragon of the Yulin Guard, the Yang Emperor sits in the dragon bowl, looking straight ahead with a smile, you can restrain the majesty that the body exudes invisibly, giving people a sense of affinity, enjoying the eager eyes of the people on both sides of the official road who are crowded with respect and love, and slowly move forward.

The queen of the world and the Yang Emperor rode together, snuggled up to the Yang Emperor, and the concubine was a match made in heaven, one emperor and one queen, attracting worldwide attention.

After the dragon that symbolizes the supreme majesty, it is the luxury car of the princes and princesses, the most advanced is the car of the eldest son and the most respected prince, followed by the car of the third prince, and then according to the rules, it should be the car of the six princes, but for some reason the order of the seven princes' cars was reversed, the seven princes are in front, the six princes are behind, such subtle details are enough to make countless people think about it, the seven princes have a faint expression, and the six princes seem to be completely unaware of anything wrong, with a smile on their faces.

Behind the six princes is the car of the eldest princess and the underage princess, followed by the princes and ministers, according to the rank from front to back, they are the prince of one word, the prince of two words, the king of one word, the king of two words, the king with different surnames, the minister of the first product, and the minister of the first product...... Ministers from the fourth rank, officials from the fourth rank and below are not eligible to participate.

"There are a lot of people!" Shui Nianyu lifted the corner of his coat, glanced out curiously, and sighed in surprise.

In principle, only the princess can sit in the prince's car, but in order to let her see the world and witness the rise of the Tianyang Dynasty together, Yang Yan arranged her in his own car, and of course, Shizun Bingruoyan.

The car is luxurious and spacious enough, not to mention three people, even if it sits ten people, there will be no crowding.

"What a fuss. Yang Yan shook his head and shook his head, unable to understand her thinking, what is so strange about the number of people.

Shui Nianyu glared at him headed, and continued to look at the crowd outside, with a look of surprise in his eyes.

The long procession like a giant dragon walked out of the East City Gate, and the prosperous scenery was gradually replaced by the scenery of the mountains and rivers, the birds flew together, and the roars of the monsters and beasts in the mountains and forests continued, as if they felt the joy of the team and sent out their congratulations.

The first and most important step of the promotion ceremony is to perform the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, the location is not in the palace, and in the east of the imperial city a high mountain called "Dragon and Phoenix Mountain", this mountain is the highest mountain in the territory of the Tianyang Dynasty, its shape is like a dragon and a phoenix, and there is purple gas lingering, it is rumored that Emperor Taizu had climbed to the top of this mountain when he was a teenager, and set up a bold ambition, and later ascended the throne as the emperor when he also sacrificed to the sky on the top of Longfeng Mountain, so it is also called "the land of dragon xing".

Over the ages, where the Son of Heaven sacrifices to the heavens, will be held on the top of Longfeng Mountain, the ceremony of the promotion ceremony can be said to be the grandest one in the past thousand years, as the "land of dragon prosperity" Longfeng Mountain, is the first choice!

It took half a day for the mighty procession to finally arrive at the foot of Longfeng Mountain, a mountain independent of the surrounding mountains, towering into the clouds, and looking up only the clouds and mist.

"A magnificent mountain is really like a dragon and a phoenix. Yang Yan looked at the majesty of Longfeng Mountain, this is also the first time he has come here, maybe Emperor Yang has been here when he ascended the throne, but at that time he was only one year old, and he has no memory.

If you didn't know that this was a mountain, at first glance, it would seem as if there was really a dragon and phoenix beast looking out over the sky, and it would really be lifelike.

Don't say that in the territory of the Tianyang Dynasty, even if it is the entire dry region, I am afraid that there will be no natural peaks such as Longfeng Mountain, which are unique!

Facing Longfeng Mountain, he seemed to face the whole heaven and earth, feeling the indescribable majesty, as if there was a mysterious force that made his heart immediately become pious.

"What a fuss. Next to her, Shui Nianyu looked at the appearance of Longfeng Mountain with the same surprise, and her amazement was still excessive, but it did not prevent her from retaliating against Yang Yan's previous behavior.

"Childish. Yang Yan's face returned to calm, and he followed the eldest prince and the third prince forward.

"Who told you to say that about me before? I call it the way of others to return the body of others, not to be naïve. Shui Nianyu followed, arguing unconvinced.

"Put your expression away before saying that. Bing Ruoyan suddenly blurted out this sentence for some reason, completing the lore.

"Humph!"
