Chapter 577: The Great Ceremony of Sacrificing to the Heavens

readx;

On July 14 of the ninth year of Jiajing, tomorrow is the day of the ceremony to worship the heavens. After the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info worship the ancestors in the heavenly temple, Jiangxia will preside over the pro-government ceremony, and thus return all the Ming regime to Zhu Zaijiang. As long as Zhu Zaijiang is in power, then Jiang Xia will plan an accidental fire and make Zhu Zaijiang "disfigured" inside, and he will wear a mask to the court from then on.

According to Jiang Xia, tomorrow is the auspicious day of the zodiac with the seven stars of crape myrtle, which is a good day that is rare in a century. But in fact, tomorrow is actually called the Midyear Festival in the folk, also known as the Ghost Festival. It is rumored that the ghost gate will be wide open on this day, and if you have low luck, you may be able to see the terrifying scene of "Hundred Ghosts Walking at Night".

At night, Jiang Xia sat in the Qianqing Palace in the palace, wearing a unicorn python robe given by Zhu Houzhao back then, and a jade belt was tied around his waist. On his knees, there was a "Longyuan Sword" presented by the owner of the Tibetan Sword Mountain Villa.

The blade of the sword is inserted in the scabbard, and the appearance is not clear, but the finely crafted dragon scale hilt at the hilt and the mighty dragon head at the top of the tail end all mark that this is a sword that is unique in ten thousand.

Jiang Xia's gaze lowered, and his gaze focused on the ground in front of him. His eyes were calm, as if he was thinking about something. Indeed, Jiang Xia was thinking about it ring by ring in his mind at the moment, and whether there would be any problems in each link of tomorrow's Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.

On the opposite side of Jiangxia, sitting was Zhu Zaijiang. He has already changed his appearance at the moment, and because tomorrow's affairs are very important, Yin Renmian is especially careful and meticulous when he changes his appearance. Therefore, Zhu Zaijiang at this moment looks almost no different from his handsome appearance before.

Jiang Xia didn't speak, and Zhu Zaijiang didn't dare to disturb him. Therefore, the whole Qianqing Palace is very quiet, and the silence makes people feel a little depressed.

Jiang Xia suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Zaijiang, he smiled gently: "What's wrong?"

"Huh?" Zhu Zaijiang didn't react for a while, and when he reacted, he immediately shook his head and said, "Oh...... No...... Not nervous. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Zaijiang blushed. Doesn't this way of talking mean nervousness? So Zhu Zaijiang nodded and said, "Yes...... A little. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, with his extraordinary six senses, he had already heard Zhu Zaijiang's deliberately suppressed rapid breathing and violently beating heartbeat. Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Zaijiang and said, "Don't worry, everything has me." ”

Zhu Zaijiang looked at Jiang Xia, and his eyes suddenly turned red. It was a simple eight words, but it made his heart settle down immediately. Zhu Zaijiang couldn't help but ask, "Taifu, why are you so good to Zaijiang?"

Jiang Xia smiled slightly, this was the first time he had heard Zhu Zaijiang ask him such a question. Yes, why? Is it because of the vow that shared happiness and hardship? Is it because of the promise that the guy promised him before he died?

If you really want to explain why, I'm afraid there are too many reasons. But Jiang Xia finally replied very simply: "Because I am your wife." ”

Zhu Zaijiang blinked his starry eyes, and suddenly burst into tears. A good sentence "Because I am your wife" may be better than a thousand reasons.

"Bang bang......" At the palace gate of Qianqing Palace, there was a knock on the door.

Jiang Xia said to the palace gate: "Come in." Soon, the palace door was pushed open, and Xiao Shu, dressed in black and carrying a long sword, walked into the main hall.

Getting closer, Jiang Xia nodded slightly at Xiao Shu and asked, "Brother Xiao, what's the matter?"

Xiao Kill said: "Protector Geng just sent someone to report that 48,000 disciples of the Thousand Sects have returned to Beijing, and now they are deploying along Xiaoyao Mountain Villa. Now there are three floors in the villa and three floors outside, ensuring that not a single mosquito can fly in.

In addition, the Zhong Bin brothers also sent someone to report that the 60,000 people of Jinyiwei have been prepared, and now they have gone to Taimiao to set up defenses. There are also Gao Jia brothers outside the door, and they want to report something to you. ”

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Let him come in." ”

"Good. Xiao Shu nodded, and then retreated.

After a while, Gao Jia walked into the Qianqing Palace. Different from Xiao Shu's calmness, the look on Gao Jia's face was a little panicked. After Jiang Xia saw it, he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Gao Jia said: "My lord, something is not good. The disciples of the martial arts hall who received the order to rush to the aid now have less than 4,000 people in Beijing. Gu's sons in Beijing said that the five princes of Yu, Kang, Zhao, Lu, and Qi all carried out large-scale military exercises in their respective fiefdoms, and they blocked the roads into Beijing in their fiefdoms, as well as the roads into Beijing from the surrounding prefectures and counties. Our people from Wutang couldn't bring troops into Beijing, so we had to rush to help alone. ”

Jiang Xia nodded after hearing this, as if he was talking to Gao Jia, and as if he was talking to himself: "The people in several states near the capital division are all in the people's changes, and the people who have changed are all brightly armored, with sharp weapons, and firearms. The only people who can afford these people are those famous families.

Now the five princes who are closer to the capital division have joined together to prevent our people from entering the capital, which proves that many vassal kings are also involved. Famous family, royal family. Who can unite these people together, who is in the entire Ming Dynasty?"

Jiang Xia glanced at Gao Jia and Zhu Zaijiang, and finally spit out four words in a rather heavy tone: "Top Gate Valve." ”

After saying these four words, Jiang Xia's expression became a little solemn. For the power of the gate valve, even in later generations, he once felt the tip of the iceberg.

The depth of the background, the length of the tentacles, and the wide coverage of the relationship network are simply incredible.

I have to say that facing these top gate valves makes Jiang Xia feel very difficult. However, he now has 100,000 people in his hands, and he can basically not be afraid of anyone or force in this Jingshi.

Jiang Xia's eyes froze, and a nameless battle intent erupted in his eyes, and he said lightly: "Okay, you dare to gamble with your family's thousand-year-old foundation, don't I dare to care? Since you want to play, then let's play to the end!"

Jiang Xia said to Gao Jia: "Three things. First, immediately ask Uncle Geng to send a thousand disciples to find out if there are any disciples of the Jingshi who have entered Beijing recently. Second, the soldiers and horses of the three battalions of the Beijing Division were all sent to guard the streets, and no one who was not Jinyi Wei and Jiangwutang was not allowed to approach the Taimiao. Third, send someone to lecture on martial arts and solve Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu together. Remember, especially Miao Renhu, the corpse must be destroyed. ”

"Yes!" Gao Jia replied and immediately retreated.

Jiang Xia stood up and walked outside the palace gate to take a look. Looking at the sky, it should be almost the hour now, and in another hour, it will be the hour.

Chenshi is the beginning of the festival to the heavens.

Whether Zaijiang is in charge of the government smoothly today, or whether he will fall from the altar himself, depends on this move.

Outside the Qianqing Palace, all the masters beside Jiang Xia took over the duties of the palace guards, and they all stood at the door. About a time later, the imperial attendant and a group of palace maids came to the gate of the Qianqing Palace. After being searched by Qianjue Xing and others, the attendants carefully pushed open the palace gate of the Qianqing Palace.

After crossing the threshold and entering the palace, the attendant saluted Zhu Zaijiang and said, "Your Majesty, the hour is almost up, do you want to start changing clothes now?"

After speaking, the attendant's eyes looked at Jiang Xia.

Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Okay, let's change clothes." ”

"Yes. The attendants beckoned, and a group of palace maids walked into the palace with clean water, spices, accessories, and dragon robes.

Under Jiang Xia's gaze, Zhu Zaijiang changed into a dragon robe, put on a bead crown, washed his hands with water, and then rinsed his mouth with green salt. A handsome and upright young emperor appeared.

Jiang Xia looked at Zhu Zaijiang, feeling that the more he watched, the more satisfied he became.

After the palace maid smoked Zhu Zaijiang with spices, she withdrew from the palace.

In the middle of the day, the attendant entered the palace again and reminded: "Your Majesty, the hundred officials have been prepared in the playground outside the Taihe Palace, and the guard of honor has also arrived outside the palace, do you want to leave now?"

Jiang Xia stood up with the Long Yuan Sword in his hand, nodded and said, "Okay, let's go!"

The attendant saluted Zhu Zaijiang and Jiang Xia, and then ran outside the palace gate and shouted in a long voice: "The emperor is out of the palace......"

Zhu Zaijiang glanced at Jiang Xia, and Jiang Xia nodded at him. Zhu Zaijiang gritted his teeth, his eyes condensed, and immediately exuded a majesty of the Son of Heaven who was not angry and self-assured.

Whether it can turn into a dragon in rainy days depends on the present day.

Jiang Xia's hand holding the sword tightened at this moment.

After stepping out of the Qianqing Palace, the shout of "the emperor is out of the palace" was passed all the way. Jiang Xia took a group of masters and followed Zhu Zaijiang around and walked out of the palace.

In the whole process of the festival to the heavens, in Jiang Xia's opinion, there is only one most dangerous place, that is, being attacked by people on the road. If you go to the Taimiao safely, the overall situation will be decided. Because the surroundings of the Taimiao are full of people from Jinyiwei and Jiangwutang, anyone who wants to make a move in Taimiao will be beheaded by Jinyiwei and people from Jiangwutang.

In a word, no one will stop him today, Jiangxia wants to protect Zhu Zaijiang and pro-government. Someone is blocking it, and Jiangxia also wants to protect Zhu Zaijiang's pro-government!

Taimiao worships the heavens and worships the ancestors, which is a big event. Therefore, all the officials wore court clothes, and their clothes were neat. The number of honor guards, royal chariots, canopies, and all other items are fully prepared. Of course, there are inevitably various offerings to the heavens.

After walking out of the palace, Jiang Xia and the others' hearts immediately lifted. The three battalions of the Beijing Division, eight Davids, a total of more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, the relationship inside is complicated. Which ones are reliable and which ones are not reliable, Jiang Xia can't say now. After all, what used to look like a human might become a ghost now.

From the palace to the temple, the distance is not too far.

Although he was worried all the way, to Jiang Xia's surprise, there were no accidents along the way.

Seeing that the Taimiao Temple was in front of him, Jiang Xia felt a little unreal. This...... Shouldn't there be a mutiny, assassinations, and the like?

At the entrance of the Taimiao, Qiu Wenshi led the disciples of the martial arts hall to guard the entrance. Seeing Jiang Xia, Qiu Wenshi immediately greeted him and whispered to Jiang Xia: "My lord, Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu have already been dealt with by their subordinates. ”

Jiang Xia nodded, and his heart completely settled down. r1058
