The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, there was a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven.
This is a major event in Kyoto.
All the people will gather around.
All members of the royal family and all civil and military officials will also participate.
Lin En came outside Qingyuan Palace again.
Although it was only one night apart, Lin En's awe for Xiao Changfeng was even greater.
Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, he had heard about what happened in Baixiao Palace.
Five concubines, three princes, plus the pressure of the queen.
It was actually cut through with a sword.
It's really too crazy and too domineering.
Although this incident is mostly shocking to outsiders.
But for Lynn, it was a blessing.
Because the fifth prince is dead, he doesn't have to worry about being silenced.
Moreover, Lin En also kept in mind what the Ninth Prince said at that time.
"You will follow me from now on and I will keep you safe!"
Lin En knew that he was just a nobody. In the eyes of these princes and concubines, his life and death were no different than that of an ant.
No one has ever looked at me, let alone thought about me.
But the Ninth Prince's words last night moved Lin En's heart.
It was precisely because of this that he took the initiative to come to Xiao Changfeng today.
"Your Majesty the Ninth Prince, the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony is about to begin, and my subordinates are here to invite you!"
Lin En spoke respectfully.
Squeak!
The door of Qingyuan Palace opened, and soon Lin En saw Xiao Changfeng's figure.
Today, Xiao Changfeng is still wearing a jade-embroidered gold-edged robe.
Under the sunlight, the whole person looks majestic, like a god descending into the world.
"Let's go!" xdw8
Xiao Changfeng nodded towards Lin En and stepped out.
Linn quickly followed.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, as the name suggests, is to offer sacrifices to the sky.
It is the most solemn and solemn sacrificial ceremony.
This sacrificial ceremony was not established by the Dawu Dynasty.
It has been handed down from ancient times and has a long history.
The Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was presided over by Emperor Wu. Through offering sacrifices to the Heaven, people expressed their gratitude to the Heaven for nourishing and nurturing all things, and prayed to the Heaven to bless all people.
The ceremony is held at the Daisaiden in the southwest suburbs of Kyoto.
There is a vast square outside the Grand Sacrifice Hall.
The process of the heaven-sacrifice ceremony is complicated. All civil and military officials, as well as members of the royal family, will gather in the palace, then walk through the Zhengyang Gate and walk to the Great Sacrifice Hall.
When Xiao Changfeng and Lin En arrived at the gathering place, it was already overcrowded.
Xiao Changfeng's arrival naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Suddenly, everyone's face turned ugly and their eyes showed fear.
Obviously, Xiao Changfeng's domineering sword attack last night had already made him famous.
"Brother Ninth!"
A surprised voice rang out from the crowd, it was Xiao Yurong.
At this time, Concubine Ling's face was ashen and she wanted to pull Xiao Yurong, but she was a step too slow.
Soon Xiao Yurong walked to Xiao Changfeng's side, holding his arms affectionately, not caring about the eyes of others.
"Brother Ninth, I knew you would be fine."
Xiao Yurong's face was filled with a bright smile, which was warmer than the sun.
Last night's reunion dinner frightened her.
Fortunately, when I was the most lonely and helpless, Brother Ninth stepped forward.
From that moment on.
Xiao Yurong knew that the love between him and his ninth brother was as strong as gold!
"Happy New Year, this is a New Year gift for you."
The presence of Xiao Yurong also brought a smile to Xiao Changfeng's face.
He reached out and touched the storage ring, took out an exquisite jade bottle, and handed it to Xiao Yurong.
"This is?"
Naturally, Xiao Yurong would not refuse Brother Ninth Brother's gift. After taking it, she opened the jade bottle and took a look.
Suddenly her beautiful eyes widened and her little mouth opened slightly.
There are ten pills in the jade bottle.
All are beauty elixirs!
"Do you still remember what I said to you at the beginning? I will give you as much as you want!"
Xiao Changfeng smiled slightly and looked at Xiao Yurong with eyes full of tenderness.
"Thank you, Brother Ninth!"
Xiao Yurong smiled sweetly, feeling happy.
Xiao Changfeng swept his consciousness and found many familiar people among the crowd.
For example, the person being carried was the second prince, or the third prince was still in a state of despair.
There are also Concubine Wen, Concubine Xia and others.
However, Concubine Duan did not appear.
In addition, other princes and princesses are also in the queue.
However, they all kept a respectful distance from Xiao Changfeng and did not dare to approach him.
Xiao Changfeng was also noncommittal about this.
Soon, the auspicious time has arrived.
Led by Emperor Wu and the Queen, the team began to set off towards the Great Sacrifice Hall.
Although what happened last night had the potential to tear people apart.
But today, both Emperor Wu and the Empress looked calm, as if what happened last night had never happened.
But everyone knows that the rift between the two has become wider and wider.
…
"Wow, Your Majesty is so majestic. The Queen is still working hard even though she is pregnant."
"Hey, why did the second prince become like this? Why didn't the fifth prince come, and neither did the eighth prince nor the twelfth prince!"
"Isn't that the Ninth Prince? He is indeed back and participated in the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony."
In Kyoto, people surged around to watch Xiao Changfeng and others.
After all, Emperor Wu, the Empress and others usually lived deep in the palace and were rarely seen.
Therefore, taking advantage of today's opportunity, many people came to watch.
The queue was very long and the walking was very slow.
It was not until noon that everyone arrived at the Great Sacrifice Hall.
Emperor Wu was solemn and solemn, presiding over the sacrifice to heaven.
Everyone followed Emperor Wu, knelt down and saluted, and behaved in a strict manner.
However, Xiao Changfeng was not very interested in this kind of thing.
Sacrifice to heaven?
In my previous life, I was the Immortal Emperor of Creation who was in charge of heaven, and I was the way of heaven.
Sacrifice to the heaven is like worshiping yourself.
It took three full hours for the heaven-sacrifice ceremony to end.
Although everyone was extremely tired, many people's eyes were bright and full of expectation.
Because every year there is a wonderful program after the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony.
That is the martial arts competition for the younger generation.
The grand ceremony to worship heaven was held throughout the city, with millions of people paying attention.
For ordinary people, the martial arts competition is a wonderful program.
For those who participate in martial arts competitions, this is also a good opportunity to make a name for themselves.
For the children of powerful people, martial arts competitions are also extremely important.
Because the first place in the martial arts competition will receive extremely generous rewards.
The last reward was a semi-sacred weapon.
Semi-sacred artifact, this is a real treasure.
Even the first family in Kyoto like Duke Wei may not have it.
Therefore, no matter who it is, they are staring at the martial arts competition like a wolf.
In the expectant eyes of everyone, Emperor Wu stepped forward and ruled the world.
"Our dynasty, the Great Martial Arts Dynasty, established its country through martial arts. We should never forget that we are holding a martial arts competition today. Anyone under the age of twenty can participate."
As Emperor Wu spoke, the square outside the Great Sacrifice Hall was quickly decorated.
Many warriors who meet the requirements are gearing up, eager to show off their talents and become famous.
What Emperor Wu said next made everyone completely excited.
"The first place in this year's martial arts competition, I allow him to enter the royal treasury and choose a treasure by himself!"
