Chapter 7: The Eighth Day of Laba
In the Palace of Heart Cultivation, Zhou Ren, the Great Zhou Taizu, helped the Nine Emperor Sons Zhou Ao up, let him sit down on the side, and then said:
"Your performance is very good, I have seen it, as a prince, you must have the pride of my Da Zhou!"
Zhou Ao hurriedly got up and thanked the ancestor for his praise, Zhou Ren waved his hand to sit down, and continued:
"If it had been a few hundred years earlier, you would have been an outstanding emperor, but now you are not enough! On the eve of this great catastrophe, all races and factions have great ambitions, and they cannot be controlled by ordinary means at all. ”
"Today's allies may stab you in the back tomorrow, and everything is unreliable before the catastrophe. ”
"But this is also an opportunity, if you grasp it well, you can take the opportunity to seize the luck of the unification of the world, achieve the supreme immortal base, and thus successfully soar, just like the Qingyun real people back then. ”
"I have arranged the matter of the prince, you first practice with me for a month, learn the art of the emperor, participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and then come to practice often in the future. ”
"Thank you for your grace!"
The news that the Nine Emperor Princes, Zhou Ao, was left in the palace by Emperor Zhou to cultivate for a month soon spread throughout Jinling, and everyone talked about it, and the eldest prince and the eighth prince accelerated their activities.
In this way, the time entered November, and the Nine Emperor Princes left the palace after the cultivation period expired, and they only invited the people of their own faction to a few banquets, but they did not make any big moves, as if they had died down.
And Li Xuzong has been called a bad star because he killed the envoy of Jinshan, and no one dares to spread his rumors and rumors anymore.
In this way, it is the eighth day of the lunar month, the annual day of appreciating plum blossoms and drinking Laba porridge.
And Emperor Zhou also set up a banquet in the Baohe Palace, of course, the most eye-catching thing today is the choice of the prince.
Li Xuzong took Zhou Bin to the Baohe Hall with the various factions in Chenshi, and today the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the heads of the ten major sects, and the heads of the six major families, can be said to be the most powerful people in the Ming face of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As soon as the time arrived, Emperor Zhou sat on the throne, ordered a banquet, all kinds of spiritual porridge were served to the main hall, exuding a sweet taste, this is the eight-color spiritual porridge that the imperial dining room spent the whole night boiling, but unfortunately everyone's minds were not on the banquet, and it ended hastily soon.
The staff of the self-owned imperial dining room cleaned up, the waiter hurriedly put the tables and chairs back on, and the most important ceremony of choosing the prince began!
At this time, I saw that the eldest prince, the eighth prince, and the ninth prince each walked to a table and sat down, and there was a small tripod on the table, representing luck.
I also saw that Emperor Zhou used his means and took out seventeen decrees, which were the orders of the oath signed by the various sects and the head of the family back then.
Seeing that the preparations were completed, the national teacher shouted:
"The ceremony of choosing the prince begins!"
Then, picking up a talisman, it was the Tiannan Sword Sect, only to see its head Nangong Qi shouting:
"The Eighth Prince!"
The national teacher put the talisman in front of the Eight Emperors Xiaoding, and then Tianyin Temple, Master Likong directly abstained.
In third place is Bi Lingxuan, naturally the Nine Emperor Princes, followed by the Divine Intention Gate, the Liu Family, and the Zheng Family in succession, so that the Nine Emperor Princes won four orders in a row, and the faces of the Great Prince and the Eighth Prince began to look ugly.
Then there were the Ling Tian Palace, the Tian family, the Liang family, and the Lin family, which made the eldest prince's face look better.
And after Angelica Yundao gave the order to the Nine Emperor Princes, there was immediately a whisper of discussion in the hall, and things began to change.
Next, it was Qingtianmen's turn, and I only heard Zixiao Zhenren say slowly:
"I'm sending support to the Nine Emperor Princes!"
It is like a thunderbolt that wakes up countless people!
The eyes of the Eighth Emperor were wide, and he couldn't believe it for a while, and the Great Prince and the others were also surprised, in the entire hall, only Emperor Zhou and the Nine Emperor were still so calm.
Li Xuzong looked at the expression of the Nine Emperor Princes, and suddenly felt a trace of vigilance in his heart, but the success of the Nine Emperor Princes was also his goal, and he was happy to see it happen at this time.
At this time, there are still five orders left from the Xuantian Sword Sect, the Heavenly Master Dao, the Xuanyuan Family, and the Imperial Zhou Family, and the Four Princes have not yet been thrown, and the Nine Emperor Princes have already obtained six Decrees, leaving three Great Princes, two Eight Princes, and one abstention, so it can be said that the Nine Emperors are far ahead.
With the Xuantian Sword Sect casting the order talisman to the Nine Emperor Princes, the Nine Emperor Princes' Command Talismans have reached seven.
Looking at the remaining four talismans, even if all the remaining talismans are voted for the Great Prince, they will not be able to win!
When it was the turn of the Heavenly Master, I saw that the door leader hesitated slightly, and then firmly voted the command to the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes obtained eight command charms, and they had completely won!
The eldest prince's face also collapsed.
The procedure still has to be completed, and then the Xuanyuan family also voted for the Nine Emperor Princes, and the last two orders of the Zhou clan of the clan also voted for the Nine Emperor Princes.
In the end, the national teacher announced that the Nine Emperor Princes had obtained as many as eleven orders and won the crown prince position by an overwhelming margin, which was a rare advantage in the competition for the crown prince in the past!
The eldest prince and the eighth prince forced a smile to congratulate the nine princes, and the nine princes also smiled and comforted the two.
Then all the major sects and families also congratulated and blessed the Nine Emperor Princes, and the Nine Emperor Princes were not arrogant or impatient one by one, and their graceful and luxurious demeanor made people heartbreak!
At this time, even the eldest prince and the eighth prince had to admit that they were willing to bow down.
Later, the Nine Emperor Princes followed Emperor Zhou to the palace to familiarize themselves with various procedures, and Zhou Bin was named by the Nine Emperor Princes to take him.
Li Xuzong returned to the courtyard of the Nine Emperors' Mansion, there were already Shang Yu, Ji Qingzong, Zheng Wei, Zheng Qi and others in the front hall, seeing Li Xuzong come back, Shang Yu smiled and handed over a bowl of spiritual porridge, and said:
"We made some laba porridge, I don't know if the big boss has time to appreciate his face?"
Although Li Xuzong is now the head of the house, he is still a little stunned when he sees Shang Yu, and he was too impressed back then, but he was a little uncomfortable today, and he was trying to relax, so he took the porridge bowl, looked at it, and immediately smiled:
"It doesn't poison people, does it?"
The angry Shang Yu grabbed his bowl and said in his mouth:
"If you have no conscience, you deserve to be hungry. ”
Li Xuzong laughed and drank the spirit porridge, feeling really good.
The four of them waited for him to sit down and asked what the result was, Li Xuzong said with a smile:
"Living up to expectations, the Nine Emperor Princes got the position of the crown prince, and the Qingtian Gate, the Xuanyuan Family, the Heavenly Master Dao, and the Zhou clan finally voted for the Nine Emperor Princes. ”
Shang Yu smiled:
"It seems that the Zhou clan has done a lot of work in the last two months!"
Li Xuzong was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh:
"Well, that's right, Senior Sister Yu can go down to the kitchen and the hall now!"
Everyone laughed, and Shang Yu turned red and didn't get mad.
"Everyone is worried about you, this situation is a bit bad!"
Ji Qingzong stopped joking, and said with a straight face.
Zheng Wei and Zheng Qi, the two siblings, also looked worried.
They have been rolling and crawling between life and death for many years, and these tricks of Qingtianmen can be understood!
"Don't worry, I have my own plans! On the contrary, you should be more careful in the future, you were too close to him before!"
Everyone was silent for a while, and many times, when they were in trouble, they could stick a knife in both sides, but after they became rich, they were strangers.
Subsequently, Li Xuzong asked a few people about their cultivation, answered their questions one by one, and finally passed on the technique of divine consciousness and star sand that he had comprehended to the four people, hoping to help them.
Returning to the retreat place, Li Xuzong sat on the futon and thought slowly.
I still have some underestimate the heroes of the world, Emperor Zhou, Zixiao Zhenren, Heavenly Master Dao Master, Xuanyuan Family Master, each of these is extremely deep in the city!
It seems that I want to replace the position of Qingtian Gate, and the road is still far away!
