Chapter 439: The Great Sacrifice
"Fried beans, spicy fried beans, eat while watching!"
"Cooking cakes~~ The cooking cakes kneaded by my lady are crispy and delicious~~"
"Crisp pearβ"
"Let's have a taste!!"
At the end of spring, the morning sun lazily extends the whole city, and many people walk in this city, and overnight, the news of more temples and high platforms spreads, and they gather in the southeast Hibiscus Pond from nearby and even farther directions.
The nearest Quchifang is already crowded with people, and the merchants and hawkers are carrying their burdens and walking on the street outside the crowd shouting loudly, and the attic window lattices near the top are also full of people at this time, looking at the temples and altars not far from the lake shore.
"What an extra temple!"
"I didn't see the high platform yesterday afternoon, but I saw it early this morning. β
β...... You see, there are four little platforms around it. β
"Where, I can't see it, the one in front, shrink your head!"
"Fart, shrink it, wouldn't it be a king! Standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck to see!"
"Isn't that the eighth king!!"
.......
Min Yuerou frowned slightly and glanced at the four swarthy scholars on the side, pulling the rabbit bell and walking a little farther, but the little girl was not reserved, raised her little arm and squeezed in front of her young lady to open the way.
"Let Jean, my son-in-law wants to see it, and he will chant poems along the way, and it will be passed down through the ages......"
No one paid attention to her, but there was still a bearded man on the side who saw her little girl's house, squeezed in the crowd with sweat stains on his face, and helped squeeze to make a way.
"This big brother, thank you!" Rabbit Bell turned around: "Childe, hurry up and keep up, otherwise someone will squeeze in again." β
"Rabbit, be careful, don't be squeezed. β
Min Yuerou followed closely behind, and arched her hand to thank the man in the past, but the other party's appearance was a little familiar, and she was afraid of being recognized, so she hurriedly turned her face and followed the little maid to the front.
The master and servant finally approached the southernmost point of Quchifang to the fence leading to the Furong Pond, from here you can clearly see the high platform in the distance, which is eight zhang high, and the location of the pavilion that Min Yuerou knew before in the back has become a hill at this time, and the temple is on it, and there are thick branches and trees nearby.
"Miss, that's the temple that suddenly appeared last night, it's so big, do you think there will be gods in it? How did it come about, why did it appear in Chang'an City, Miss, you see, the water in this hibiscus pond seems to be much more turbulent than when we came last year. β
The little maid holding the fence excitedly pointed to the temple view, the high platform, and shouted excitedly for a while, so that Min Yuerou patted her head with her hand before stopping for a while.
It's just a high platform and a temple, and Min Yuerou didn't feel anything unusual after looking at it for a while.
"Where will there be any immortals, there must be people pretending to be gods, if you want to say that there are really people who are virtuous, I have seen several......"
Rabbit Bell tilted his head, and seeing that the young lady's temple view was a little distracted, he pursed his mouth and snickered: "Little ..... Childe, you're talking about Mr. Lu. β
"Mouthy. Min Yuerou reached out and quietly pinched her thin waist, "Let's go back, there's nothing to see." β
Outside the crowd of people apart, the bustling long street surged suddenly, the officials who maintained order pushed people to both sides against the water and fire sticks, shouting to let the pedestrians stay behind, and after a while, the street sounded the sound of horses' hooves, hundreds of knights with long soldiers and flags walked in front, and the rear was a horse-drawn carriage, and the riveted wheels pressed the street from the direction of the imperial city.
One of the carriages lifted the curtain and looked outside, and the two masters and servants who were about to leave, with sharp rabbit bells, whispered: "It's the master!"
Min Yuerou was also startled, and hurriedly pulled the rabbit bell to bury her face, and when the sound of the car passed in front of her, she glanced at the corner of her eye before she raised her face and exhaled.
"Fortunately, I wasn't found out by my father, otherwise I would have beaten my palm. β
On the side, when Rabbit Bell nodded matter-of-factly, he suddenly asked, "Childe, didn't the master go to the court?"
That's right, when she thought of what the maid asked, Yuerou realized that not only did her father come here, but all the carriages in the past had official logos.
Could it be that all the civil and military officials are here?
Thinking about it, I heard the sound of roaring footsteps in my ears, which was the movement of many people walking across the ground together, and I hurriedly turned my head to look, and saw a forest of flags, spreading from the Qinglongfang.
Rumble!
Rumble!
A column of armor soldiers opened the way in front, and their steps fell heavily to the ground, shaking the armor and weapons on their bodies and colliding with each other, making a sound of metal rubbing.
A long line of people came, and the people standing under the eaves stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to take a look.
"Isn't this a soldier in the palace?"
"Look at the carriage in the back, it'..... This is His Majesty's Imperial Throne today. β
After the banner and the foot soldiers, the royal chariot pulled by nine horses without any variegation, and the heavy wheels pressed against the ground and drove smoothly.
Min Yuerou grew up in the home of a small official eunuch, she recognized this kind of scene, civil and military officials, and when today's son came, could it be that there are really gods in the temple?
The curiosity that had been extinguished was hooked again, and he pulled the little maid back again, but this time there were already soldiers on the side with long soldiers under martial law, and the people were not allowed to approach, so they could only watch from a distance that the imperial chariot stopped nearby, and the emperor opened the curtain and walked out.
Lacquered red heavy wooden shoes walked out of the curtain and stood on the car, Yang Jian wore a crown on his head, and wore a dark robe and silk clothes with the sun and moon woven on his shoulders, and walked down to the ground with the help of the eunuch.
The emperor glanced at the undulating surface of the lake and sighed: "There is a dragon in the lake entering the water, and the end is different." β
Let go of the eunuch's hand and walk to the sacrificial platform in front of him, Li Yuan over there quickly greeted him and bowed: "Yuan, meet Your Majesty." β
Yang Jian nodded, then raised his face and looked at the stone platform that was eight zhang high and four zhang wide, as well as the small stone platforms placed around it.
"These five stone platforms were really built overnight?"
"Back to Your Majesty, it was indeed made overnight, but Mr. Lu cast a spell and drove countless little ghosts to build overnight, and the spell was really mysterious. β
"It's also called Mr. Lu, and it should be called the national teacher. β
This young man was still a relative of him, and he often lived in the palace before he became emperor, and his tone was slightly more relaxed than that of his courtiers.
Saying that, Yang Jian summoned the signing order Taizhu.
"Pray to heaven, what else do you need, hurry up and prepare, don't wait for the national teacher to come, and then you will know later. β
"Yes!"
The official retired, and at this time, hundreds of civil and military officials, large and small, came over in an orderly manner, standing behind the emperor, all of them were different from the usual court clothes, and they were all neat and neat Xuanyi worn by the ceremony.
At the mountain gate, Li Yuan was alone, pressing the hilt of his sword, dragging his cloak and running up the stone steps, and at the same time, the small platforms around him set up banners representing the wind and rain, hunting in the wind.
Taizhu bowed slightly, holding the greetings step by step on the high platform.
"Today, my Great Sui Liguo Shi sued the sky and issued the Houtu, just for the wind and rain in Kyushu in the world, and the people are full of grain and ......"
The high-pitched voice drifted away with the wind, and the crowd of onlookers suddenly became silent, and only then did someone react to what to do.
In the attic of the Purple Mountain View, someone raised his hand to tie the crown of the sky in the open window lattice, Lu Liangsheng sat in front of the window, looking outside, the high altar, the moon, wind, rain, earth, and the four divine flags fluttering on the small platform around him, and heard Li Yuan's voice shouting outside, so he slowly turned around and walked out of the door.
The sun shines into the open attic door, a pair of auspicious clouds kick the hem of the robe into the golden light range, the morning sun shines on the body, the black wisps of bronzing water pattern robe, embroidered sun, moon and stars, mountains and rivers.
Wow β
Brushing open the wide sleeves woven with fire patterns, Lu Liangsheng hung the Moon Hazy Sword from his waist, strode past Li Yuan and walked to the front, and went straight out of the mountain gate.
The morning sun rises, auspicious time.
