The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was officially held on the ninth day of the sixth lunar month in the third year of Guangshun. The Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty cherished the love of hundreds of millions of people from all over the world. No matter princes, ministers, soldiers, monks, beggars, or even the common people, all could participate in the sacrifice of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

Heavenly Ceremony.

However, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, the city of Chang'an began to move. Before dawn, both sides of Imperial Street were already full of people. Almost everyone was carrying a bag containing sacrifices to God.

, it can be priceless gold, silver, pearls and jade, or it can be three steamed cakes worth a penny. Regardless of whether it is high or low, it is a sincere respect for God.

Of course, there are also people with ulterior motives. For example, Aunt Liu heard that the food sacrificed to heaven can prolong life, nourish yin and strengthen yang, so she prepared a full twenty kilograms of steamed cakes to carry on her back.

I don’t know where the fallacy came from, but Xu Xian didn’t believe that a bunch of carbohydrates could turn into ginseng. If offering sacrifices to heaven had this effect, there wouldn’t be so many short-lived emperors.

Xu Xian did not accompany the emperor. He followed Zhao Kuangyin and ordered all the people in the Kaifeng Mansion to form a human wall to prevent some unsighted people from running into the royal street and bumping into the emperor. The chaos made him wish he had three heads and six arms.

Come.

Woo——

A low trumpet sounded amidst the commotion, and along with bursts of drum beats, the palace gates were seen opening in the distance.

An infantry phalanx lined up with drums beating, everyone holding swords across their waists and holding spears and flags pointing diagonally toward the sky at a 45-degree angle.

This team is neither majestic nor murderous, but the formation and steps are rare and neat. Every step makes a roaring sound, and the entire ground seems to be shaking, which actually adds a bit of power.

Unexpectedly, they actually let the red scarves lead the battle. These guys are already capable of killing the enemy. They are more than enough to serve as the honor guard of the Great Zhou Empire, and they are well used.

Immediately afterwards came a car pulled by six white horses. The car's body was dark green and looked very simple. The curtains on the car were opened, and Guo Wei could be seen from a distance.

He was wearing a hat, a robe, a sash around his waist, a red rug on his feet, and a jade in his hand. He sat upright in the car without moving, and his expression was as numb as a clay puppet in a temple.

On both sides of the carriage, Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin each led a column of cavalry to guard the carriage, following closely behind the red scarf capital.

Before Guo Wei arrived, the people on both sides of the street had already knelt down and worshiped and shouted long live. Xu Xian did not follow him and waited until everyone in red scarf walked up to Xu Xian. He followed him in a few steps and walked at the front of the team, holding a

Jingqi Luo Fubang and Wu Liang walked quickly and followed Xu Xian.

There were two people missing from the team. Without Xu Xian's order, everyone in the Red Scarf City had already adjusted their formation on their own. In a blink of an eye, they were in a neat square formation again. It was like a magic trick, which amazed the spectators on both sides of the imperial street.

Luo Fubang joked softly: "Du Tou, you are in the limelight today. All those little ladies are looking at you. The one in the white shirt to the west looked at you with eyes wide open."

Xu Xian glanced to the west, and there was a woman in a white shirt looking over. It was not Fu Liying, but someone else. The two looked at each other, and Fu Liying couldn't help but blush on her face, but she did not look away.

When the beauty was in front of him, and it was time to show off his power, Xu Xian shouted loudly: "Goose!"

The originally dull footsteps suddenly became louder and louder, especially louder than before. Looking at Xu Xianying's erect appearance, Fu Liying's eyes became brighter and brighter.

A woman will not fall in love with you because you are nice to her, she will fall in love with you only because you did something special.

"Brother Xian, you are so mighty! Brother Xian is watching, don't stop me and let me pass!"

Suddenly he caught a glimpse of a short figure beside Fu Liying, waving a handkerchief at him, and Xu Xian quickly increased his stride...

Walking to the edge of Zhouqiao, Xu Xian felt that his feet were almost numb, so he changed his pace. After all, there was still twenty miles to go.

Other emperors would go to Mount Tai to offer sacrifices to heaven. Guo Wei was not so particular about blessed places like Mount Song, so he arranged the place to offer sacrifices to heaven in the southern suburbs of Kaifeng.

I don’t know what the people from the Ministry of Etiquette are doing. Since they’ve all been arranged nearby, why can’t they be arranged even closer? Walking twenty miles in the middle of the summer isn’t that fun.

In particular, this was a parade of nearly 100,000 people. The red scarves were in front, the emperor's carriage was followed by Zhang Yongde, and the cavalry in front of the palace led by Li Chongjin were protecting the side.

After that came the civil and military officials, married women and their families, celebrities and elders, monks and Taoists, and finally the largest number of ordinary people.

The vast team left the Zhuque Gate and moved very slowly. By noon, they had only traveled seven or eight miles. The team also became very scattered, with some old and weak people fainting.

No matter how many other people participate in worshiping heaven, they have certain political interests. I don't know what these ordinary people are joining in the fun. It would be too uneconomical if their lives are at stake.

It's not just the ordinary people who can't stand the scorching sun. Even the soldiers who have been in battle are not much better. They are listless as if they have lost the battle. It's not that they lack physical strength, it's just their attitude.

Only the red scarf still retains some energy, and can even sing a few military songs to boost morale at the top of his voice. Sitting in the carriage, Guo Wei said: "If you can practice in front of the battle, you will be better in the future."

It must be a powerful force that is no less powerful than the Silver Spear and Black Cloud Sword Capital."

These words were obviously addressed to the old Mutou who was driving the car. Hearing this, the old Mutou laughed twice and said, "What's the use of being able to walk? It all depends on his ability to kill the enemy in front of the battle. Your Majesty can't praise him anymore."

, otherwise the tail wouldn’t be raised to the sky.”

"That's not true. The cavalry brought by Wang Yin are really brave. Look back and see that they are still like withered eggplants even though they have horses to travel. Now let the red scarves fight with them. You don't know who will lose.

win."

"Wang Yin doesn't have to lose, he doesn't even have a weapon now!"

The Jiedu envoys who came to Kaifeng to participate in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony could bring their accompanying soldiers, but they could not bring weapons. Wang Yin did not listen to the advice, and all the weapons were confiscated.

"Haha...uh!" Guo Wei laughed twice and then stopped abruptly.

Old Mu Tou looked back and saw that Guo Wei was gritting his teeth secretly and his face was pale. Needless to say, he was suffering from another illness.

"Your Majesty, there is a forest in front of you. It's better to rest before walking."

Seeing Guo Wei nod, Old Mutou quickly sent an order to rest in the woods ahead.

After hearing the order, Xu Xian probably knew that Guo Wei was feeling unwell. Guo Wei had a trusted imperial doctor who was waiting for his turn to intervene. He found an open space in the forest and asked everyone in Hongjindu to rest, and took two water bags in the forest.
