The Lantern Festival is coming as scheduled.

The whole of Tokyo is filled with people who are making lantern festivals.

However, the lanterns on the street have not been lit during the day, and only the Taimiao Temple in the east of the inner city is crowded with people, and everyone is waiting for the royal sacrifice.

The royal sacrifice is quite grand, in the second half of the night, there are officials of the Ministry of Rites to arrange, the sacrifice begins at dawn, the first is to sacrifice to the sky, from the sunrise on the three animals, began to sacrifice to the gods and Buddhas,

Zhao Ji sat on the left side of the Taimiao, and behind him were King Yun, King Su, King Jing and others.

Zhao Huan was sitting on the right side, but behind him was a little shabby, he had no heirs, so he could only find some clans that supported him to support the scene.

Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ji with a smile on his face, and then looked at the brothers behind Zhao Ji, and was a little annoyed in his heart, these people made it clear that they wanted him to make a fool of themselves today.

As soon as he thought of Zhao Kai asking him to sit behind the Emperor Taishang, he gritted his teeth for a while, not to mention making a big sacrifice, and let the Emperor Taishang press him in front of everyone, isn't this clear that he wants to press him as an emperor.

Zhao Huan was naturally unwilling, he would rather fight with Zhao Ji and the others on the other side.

On the lower floor were a group of vassal kings and important ministers of the court, who also sat separately.

And the bottom floor sits the world-famous Confucianism and disciple literati.

After the sacrifice of the gods and Buddhas was completed, Zhao Ji tidied up his clothes and went to the stage to worship his ancestors.

Although Zhao Huan was a little unhappy, he still endured it, Zhao Ji was his father, and Zhao Ji should indeed be responsible for this ancestor worship.

Zhao Ji has long been familiar with the process of sacrifice, he believes in Taoism, often organizes festivals, and a set of processes is admired by the people who watch the ceremony.

Towards the end of the sacrifice, Zhao Ji cried to the ancestors, saying that the Great Song Dynasty was stormy, there were no traitors to blame, and there were aliens eyeing each other.

But Zhao Ji's words put the responsibility on the current emperor Zhao Huan, it seems that everything is Zhao Huan's responsibility, and it has nothing to do with him, the emperor.

Zhao Huan's face was pale, he had not succeeded to the throne for a year, what could he do? What does the chaos in the world have to do with him? Zhao Ji has been in power for twenty-five years, didn't he bury all the banes?

"Emperor Taishang is right, if there is chaos today, nearly half of the land conquered by Taizu has been lost, the people have been bewitched by thieves, and natural disasters have been repeated, this is a warning from God!"

As soon as Zhao Ji finished crying, Zhao Ziyan, the king of Xiu'an, opened his mouth, and he didn't even wait for Emperor Zhao Huan to speak.

Zhao Ji and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and the vassal kings were on their side.

"King Xiu'an, what do you mean by that?"

Wu Min saw Zhao Ziyan speak, and the spearhead was pointed at Emperor Zhao Huan, and immediately spoke.

"What do you mean? In recent years, natural disasters have been frequent, thieves all over the world have rebelled, foreign enemies have invaded the Central Plains, and this year there is a flood besieging the city of Tokyo, which is a thousand years unprecedented, is the warning of heaven not enough! ”

Zhao Ziwei looked at Wu Min and said.

The onlookers all looked at the emperor Zhao Huan, and felt that Zhao Ziyan seemed to have no problem, natural disasters and wars were not going well, this is God's punishment for the imperial court, and this object must be the emperor who owns the world, and he can't be angry with the people, right?

"King Xiu'an's words are wrong, natural disasters and man-made disasters have been some years, Your Majesty only ascended the throne last year, and he made great efforts to stabilize the turbulent situation, and King Xiu'an should not be blinded!"

Xu Churen looked at Zhao Ziyan and said, they must defend Emperor Zhao Huan.

"Then Dazai thinks who's to blame for all this!"

Wu Guogong Zhao Zizao took over and said.

Li Gang frowned at this matter, and Zhao Zizao's words seemed to mean something.

Zhao Zizao's words made the officials not know how to answer, they are courtiers, whether it is Emperor Zhao Huan or Emperor Zhao Ji, they are not to blame.

"That's all Cai Jing and others deceived the saints, poisoned the people, Your Majesty Shengming, swept away the universe, and punished the evil thieves, this is in accordance with the mandate of heaven!"

An official opened his mouth and said, since the emperor can't take the blame, and neither can they, the officials, give the pot to Cai Jing and those people.

"I remembered the ancestral teachings, I didn't kill the scholars, I just sent them into exile, but I didn't expect them to know that they were guilty of great sins, and they ended up depressed, which can be regarded as giving the world an explanation."

Seeing this, Zhao Huan also took the stage to speak, he knew that it was not easy to pass today, if he lost, the throne would not be stable, so he was not ready to retreat, since the throne was sitting, he couldn't let it.

Zhao Ji saw that Zhao Huan dared to come to power, and his heart was suddenly furious, he was Zhao Huan's father, and Zhao Huan didn't give him face at all.

But before Zhao Ji could speak, those scholars spoke.

The demands of the scholars are also very simple, that is, the royal family must be responsible for the chaos in the world.

Taizu also took the opportunity to make trouble, pointing the spearhead directly at Taizong, who had been in power for many years, and counted Taizu's exploits.

Li Gang's heart sank when he heard this, he knew that these people had finally shown their fox tails, the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor were fighting for power, the Taizu family wanted to take the throne, and the scholars also wanted more rights.

On the top of the main hall of Taimiao, Sun Lei was speechless for a while.

"To put it bluntly, it's, just for more benefits! A bunch of selfish people! ”

Sun Lei lay on the tiles at the back of the hall and listened to the words of everyone on the altar.

"Your Majesty, when are we going down?"

Shi Qian didn't want to hear this, looked at Sun Lei and asked.

"Wait, wait until they're happy."

Sun Lei shook his head and said, now is not the time for the protagonist to appear.

The crowd on the altar was already arguing.

The demands of the Shi clan were easily obtained, whether it was Zhao Ji or Zhao Huan or those vassal kings, they all wanted to win over the Shi clan and let these people support them.

But the demands of Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the vassal kings are not easy to achieve, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, as the direct descendants of Taizong, are naturally unwilling to remain in the Taizu lineage.

And the vassal king of the Taizu lineage also took a step back, and instead asked Zhao Huan to make a guarantee, if the Great Song Dynasty can be revitalized, then the Taizu lineage will be stopped, if not, the next throne will be elected among the outstanding descendants of the Taizu lineage.

Zhao Ji's face was pale, he didn't expect that these vassal kings would really be so bold and want to seize the throne from the Taizong lineage.

Zhao Huan saw that the vassal kings were aggressive, and his father and brothers were also eyeing him, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore, so he waved his hand under the altar.

Zhao Ji also saw this anomaly, and he gave a color to the bottom of the altar.

And both of them looked at Sun Li, the third lieutenant, the official in charge of public security in the hall this time.

The vassal kings, officials, and scholars also realized that something was wrong, and they all looked at Sun Li.

Sun Li also saw everyone's eyes, but he didn't react.

At this moment, a burst of suona sound resounded in the sky, directly making the stunned crowd even more forced, who would blow suona at such a time on this occasion? (End of chapter)
