Chapter 58 Enlightenment in the Imperial Palace, Blood Shadow in the Sky
The eldest brother, Zun Shuohou, has an arrogant personality and stands far away with his body sideways and his hands behind his back.
Be silent.
On weekdays, he has good relations with many nobles. Everywhere he goes, someone will come up to talk to him.
But at this juncture, there are only a few nobles around Zunshuo Hou.
Because he has lost power.
Even so, perhaps because he is older and more stable, Marquis Zunshuo calmed down faster.
‘Now that the matter has come to this, I shouldn’t continue to pester you and act like a clown in vain.’
Marquis Zunshuo could only lower his head and sigh, lamenting that he had no luck as an emperor.
But in the distance, there is a hint of viciousness and sinisterness hidden in the complicated and unspeakable eyes of the fifth son Xuanping Hou.
‘I have spent so many years building my own image, and my abilities are so outstanding, and so many nobles and senior officials support me!
Father, can't you see all this? You actually listen to the so-called instructions of an old bald donkey!
And those losers, why don’t you take action on the road? Now...it’s too late!’
Among them, the third oldest, Wu Anhou, has the most depressed mentality and is the most disappointed.
He secretly gritted his teeth, puffed up his cheeks, and growled in his heart:
‘Father has been deceived! You have all been deceived!
Ever since he was a child, he has not been as outstanding as me. I am the most suitable candidate for the prince!
Mu Cang, don’t be proud. You are still just a prince and not a real emperor. In the future... you will wait for me!’
The heavy and complicated atmosphere at the scene seemed to be felt even by the media who were surrounding at a distance.
While carrying the camera, my body couldn't help but twist, and I felt unspeakably depressed.
Many netizens, including those in the audience before the live broadcast, also talked about it.
"The royal family is just different."
"Yes, it's cold."
"In this atmosphere, if I were to go up and lie down directly."
"Hey, don't you think Cang Dian has suddenly become more handsome? I mean, he was handsome before, and now he is even more handsome!"
"Really? Why do I think he looks so scary now?"
"Yes, yes, it's just like when I was playing with my mobile phone in class and suddenly turned around and saw the class teacher, I felt a palpitation in my heart!"
"Well, it feels like it suddenly turned into a Buddha statue in a temple. It is solemn and sacred, but there is no human touch at all."
At this moment, Emperor Xia slowly appeared with the support of the imperial palace servants.
The old emperor glanced at Mu Cang, then looked at the shocked people, and smiled with satisfaction.
‘All the civil and military officials in the entire dynasty are not as good as my crown prince. It seems that my Daxia... is prosperous!’
Since the founding of the Daxia Empire, the appointment of the crown prince has required sacrifices to heaven and earth, the Ancestral Temple, and Sheji.
This time, it is no exception.
First, after a series of complex rituals are completed, the four cabinet ministers will come forward.
Place the gold book, gold treasure, and royal staff on the table in front of the throne in front of Shenghe Palace.
Then Emperor Xia personally inspected the gold book, gold treasure, and royal staff placed on the table in front of the throne.
After Emperor Xia sat down.
According to ancient rules, the emperor will accept the ceremony of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times by everyone present.
Of course, in modern times, human rights are respected and kneeling has been exempted.
So, just bow.
After everyone bowed, Mu Cang walked slowly to the table to receive the gold book and gold treasure.
Then, Mu Cang walked to the royal staff and bowed three times.
This is to express gratitude for the favor of heaven and earth.
Then, the four cabinet ministers bowed to Prince Mu Cang.
The heads of the noble families bowed to Mu Cang.
The princes, princes and princesses bowed to Mu Cang.
After everyone bowed.
The four ministers then delivered the royal staff to Emperor Xia, and reported to Emperor Xia that the ceremony was completed.
After the ceremony, Mu Cang followed the chamberlain who was holding a gold book and a treasure, and walked to Emperor Xia to resume his duties.
Then he turned around, stepped into the Shenghe Palace, stood quietly in front of the memorial tablets of the ancestors of Daxia, and prayed sincerely for a stick of incense.
This fragrance is a short fragrance.
Calculated carefully, the incense burning time is about five minutes.
At this point, the crown prince canonization process has been mostly completed.
After the short incense was burned, Mu Cang walked out of Shenghe Palace and accepted the congratulations from the ministers and officials on the appointment of the crown prince.
Then Emperor Xia issued an edict to the world.
I sincerely inform heaven and earth, the ancestral temple, and the country.
Then, Mu Cang will be officially established as the crown prince of Daxia.
At that time, he will be in the East Palace.
With a ten thousand-year tradition, it binds the heart of the four seas.
A hundred years after Emperor Xia's death, Mu Cang will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.
After the canonization ceremony is over, the Crown Prince's Office will be set up specifically to serve Crown Prince Mu Cang, equipped with many civilian and military personnel.
Zhi~
The gate of Shenghe Palace was closed, and Mu Cang stood alone in Shenghe Palace with his hands behind his back.
After the palace door was closed, he slowly closed his eyes and waited for time to pass.
But at this time.
"Huh?"
Mu Cang suddenly felt his cheeks burning.
He raised his head slightly and saw a round hole above the temple.
That round hole happened to attract a beam of blazing light from the great sun in the sky.
Through the cave entrance.
This beam of light shone longly on Mu Cang's face.
He stared straight into the narrow sunlight and murmured inexplicably:
"Sun~"
In the dark Shenghe Palace, Mu Cang, shrouded in golden sunlight, looked aloof.
Due to some kind of opportunity, he inexplicably fell into an indescribable state of nothingness, detachment, and enlightenment.
After a long time.
Mu Cang, who stood quietly in the darkness, suddenly opened his eyes.
The eyes are shining with a light that is much more lively than before.
……
But at this time, outside the Great Xia Divine Capital, it was at the very end of the sky.
A blood shadow actually appeared, rushing towards me at great speed with bursts of huge sonic booms.
“Didi, di, di, di, di, di!!!!”
Inside the radar station of Shendu Air Defense Station.
Suddenly a series of sirens sounded.
The red warning light keeps flashing.
The radar station manager, who was just about to take a nap, trembled all over.
Quickly rushed out of the dormitory door.
We rushed all the way to the monitoring hall inside the radar station.
"What's going on?"
The webmaster nervously asked the inspector on duty.
His gaze went straight to the green screen.
There is a spot of light on it, flying towards the divine capital at great speed.
"Stationmaster, the radar suddenly detected an unknown object appearing from the northeast.
Flying all the way to the divine capital, the speed is Mach 12."
The inspector on duty answered from the side.
The webmaster frowned and said in surprise: "Is this an intercontinental missile?!"
In his opinion, only intercontinental missiles have such amazing speed.
"Impossible! If it was launched from abroad, would the radar over there be disabled?!"
The deputy webmaster who came from behind questioned.
"But..."
The inspector next to him hesitated and said, "According to the identification data, this unknown object is smaller than an intercontinental missile and... looks like a humanoid."
"Impossible!" The webmaster shook his head.
"Nonsense!" the deputy webmaster yelled angrily.
"Forget it!"
The webmaster pondered for a while and sighed, "It's better to report it."
So, not long after.
More than a dozen of Daxia's most cutting-edge hypersonic fighter jets took off.
Quickly flew towards the unknown object.
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Whoosh~
Soon, the fighter group arrived three kilometers away from the UFO.
At the same time, the driver began to report the situation to his superiors:
"Report, we are still 3 kilometers away from the unknown object... Wait! That's a person! No, it doesn't look like a person! It's..."
Phew!!
The red light suddenly accelerated, passing several kilometers in an instant, and more than a dozen supersonic fighter jets exploded.
