Standing on the steps, all the civil and military officials looked towards the top of the altar, and at this moment, as the emperor, Zhu Houzhao still reached the top of the altar.
Wearing solemn and luxurious clothes, Zhu Houzhao, who looked solemn at this moment, looked like a high-ranking god.
Beside Zhu Houzhao, Shao Yuanjie and Zhang Yanyi, who were wearing Taoist robes, were holding a roll of lists of gods written by Zhu Houzhao, while Zhang Yanfu was also holding a roll in his hands.
The two followed closely behind Zhu Houzhao and also climbed to the top of the altar.
The emperors of the past dynasties always chose Mount Tai to worship the heaven if they had great merits. It is said that Zhu Houzhao's achievements can be said to be better than those of the emperors of the past dynasties.
However, Zhu Houzhao did not choose to go to Mount Tai to worship heaven. Instead, he built such an altar by himself outside the capital.
Such an altar can be said to be the largest in history. The amount of work is so large that if it were not for the Ming Dynasty's current foundation, to be honest, it really would not be possible to build it.
However, with the Ming Dynasty's current foundation, such an altar was built in just a few years. It did not harm the country at all. On the contrary, the construction of such an altar benefited many people's homes.
Whether it was Shao Yuanjie or Zhang Yanyi, they had no idea why Zhu Houzhao went out of his way to build such an altar.
After boarding the altar, Zhu Houzhao strode forward. On the top of the altar, a table was placed. In front of the table was a large cauldron made of red copper. The cauldron was covered with mountain and river patterns.
, if someone looks carefully, they can find that the pattern cast on this big tripod is clearly the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the Ming Dynasty, there are various vassal states, but these vassal states are not included in this territory, only the states directly under the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
The sky wind blew the flags around the altar and made a loud sound. Several ceremony officials stood solemnly, and then one of the ceremony officials took a breath and said: "The auspicious time has come, your majesty will offer sacrifices to heaven!"
The stirring sound was heard by everyone within a radius of tens of feet. All the civil and military ministers were shocked when they heard the words, and they all looked towards Zhu Houzhao.
From their position, they could clearly see the scene on top of the altar.
A ceremony officer handed a bunch of lit sandalwood to Zhu Houzhao. Zhu Houzhao took the sandalwood and inserted it into the incense burner on the table.
After putting in the incense candles, just when the civil and military officials thought that Zhu Houzhao was about to start praying to God, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned around and nodded towards Wang Zheng.
Wang Zheng stepped forward, holding a brocade box in his hand.
Zhu Houzhao took the brocade box from Wang Zheng. Many civil and military officials were shocked when they saw this situation.
This is an important moment in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. As the emperor, Zhu Houzhao did not go to offer sacrifices to heaven, but instead received a brocade box from Wang Zheng. What exactly is in this brocade box?
The elders of the cabinet and the military generals were not far away, and with their eyesight they could clearly see the brocade box in Zhu Houzhao's hand.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao had a solemn look on his face, looked around at the people around him, and could faintly see the excitement flashing in his eyes, and slowly opened the brocade box.
"Eh!"
The moment the brocade box was opened, several of the civil and military ministers showed expressions of astonishment.
Whether it was Wang Yangming, whose cultivation had reached the innate realm, or Yang Yiqing, Han Kun, who had advanced cultivation, they were all stunned because there was nothing in the brocade box.
"Your Majesty, what is this?"
Many people who saw this scene couldn't help but have such doubts in their hearts. Could it be that Zhu Houzhao had some purpose in taking out an empty brocade box at this solemn moment?
Zhu Houzhao didn't care what the surrounding civil and military ministers were thinking. Under their gaze, in the brocade box, an altar was placed. It was the altar that Chu Yi had left for him.
It was this magical altar that made Zhu Houzhao completely believe in the rumors of Chu Yi's ascension. With his status, there were few things in the world that could be hidden from him, so Zhu Houzhao knew very well that if there were no miracles,
If so, wanting to ascend is simply ridiculous.
However, this magical altar was beyond Zhu Houzhao's expectation, especially the message he received while holding the altar in his hand made Zhu Houzhao understand the function of the altar.
As long as there is enough luck, this magical altar can be called an artifact. Therefore, after getting the altar, Zhu Houzhao has been planning it until today.
Under the gaze of everyone, Zhu Houzhao solemnly stretched out his hand into the brocade box, as if he was lifting an extremely precious thing out of the brocade box.
Everyone opened their eyes wide, but no matter how they looked, Zhu Houzhao's hands were empty, with nothing at all.
To say that Zhu Houzhao was acting, but just looking at Zhu Houzhao's serious look, it didn't look like he was acting for them at all.
At this moment, if it had been any other time, I am afraid that Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others would have asked.
"Hey, this... what's going on!"
In an instant, everyone's eyes were dazzled, and a small and exquisite altar suddenly appeared in Zhu Houzhao's hands.
The altar seemed to appear out of thin air, and was held so quietly in Zhu Houzhao's hands, as if it had existed from the beginning.
Many people subconsciously stretched out their hands to rub their eyes and opened their eyes wide to look at the altar in Chu Yi's hand. However, if they stared straight at it, they were absolutely certain that it was a small and exquisite altar.
Wang Yangming couldn't help but look at each other with Yang Yiqing and others, with doubts in their eyes.
Zhu Houzhao didn't have much time to worry about how the altar appeared in the minds of many people. He held the altar with both hands and communicated with the altar in his mind. For a moment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but marvel at it.
A total of more than 36 million yuan of luck. Compared with the previous check, there was an increase of several million yuan. This can be said to be a huge increase in luck, but it made Zhu Houzhao have more plans for the future.
Some confidence.
You must know that he is ambitious and wants to establish a supreme Ming Dynasty, but Zhu Houzhao is not a fool. He knows very well that even building the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is not an easy task.
Even Zhu Houzhao himself is not very sure. Tens of millions of fortunes seem to be a lot, but compared with what Zhu Houzhao has to do, even Zhu Houzhao himself feels that his heart seems to be too big. This altar may not be able to
Achieve what you want.
Of course, no matter what, the more luck, the better, because the more luck, the more likely he is to realize his plan.
With some excitement and expectation in his heart, he saw Zhu Houzhao slowly stepping forward, holding the altar of luck with both hands, and then slowly placed the altar of luck on the table.
At this moment, the altar appeared, and anyone who looked at the altar could see the existence of the altar. However, under everyone's gaze, the altar changed in reality, as if it were an illusory existence.
If it wasn't like this, everyone who saw this scene wouldn't be so shocked.
The most shocked ones were Zhang Yanfu, Shao Yuanjie, Wang Yangming and others who were nearest, because they were not far from Zhu Houzhao and could clearly see the miraculous features of the sacrifice to heaven. It was just like this.
Everyone was horrified and looked at Zhu Houzhao in amazement.
What on earth is this and why is there such a vision? They couldn't have been deceived by illusions. Otherwise, why would they see such miraculous things?
Taking a long breath, Zhu Houzhao waved his long sleeve and said to Zhang Yanyi and Shao Yuanjie, who had dull expressions on their faces: "Two real people, please bring the list of gods and the territory map of the Ming Dynasty!"
After hearing this, the two people who came back to their senses looked at Zhu Houzhao with a bit of awe, and respectfully presented the list of gods and the map of the Ming Dynasty with their hands.
After taking the two scrolls from the hands of the two men, Zhu Houzhao suddenly turned around, strode forward, walked to the table, and said in a long and solemn voice: "The glorious God, please look down on the earth, and pray that the emperor will create the Ming Dynasty...
…The Altar of Luck is coming!”
As soon as a prayer statement came out, the surrounding civil and military officials were dumbfounded. Everyone was stunned. Zhu Houzhao's statement was really too unexpected.
The expressions of emperors offering sacrifices to the heavens in past dynasties are almost all based on the same model. They are nothing more than expressing the achievements God has made. In the final analysis, they are nothing more than showing off the achievements they have made.
But Zhu Houzhao's statement was different. Everyone was dumbfounded because the content of the statement was too unbelievable. What about the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the country sounded like a fairy tale.
Many people looked at Zhu Houzhao with some sympathy in their eyes. Could it be that His Majesty has gone crazy after gaining something?
However, among the hundreds of officials, there were a group of people with pensive expressions on their faces, such as Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others. They would not think that Zhu Houzhao was crazy. Thinking of some of Zhu Houzhao's unusual behaviors, and looking at the things on the table
A small altar on top of the table.
It was at this time that the small altar placed on the table suddenly shone brightly. In an instant, immeasurable light bloomed from the altar, followed by a crackling sound, and everyone was horrified.
Looking at the blazing flames above the altar with great admiration.
They saw that the immeasurable light shed by the altar turned into numerous firewood and burned brightly. Everyone was stunned to see such a vision.
Boundless light suddenly shone from high in the sky, and auspicious clouds rolled in, as if heaven and earth were congratulating him.
With the capital as the center, countless people throughout the Ming Dynasty felt this. No matter what they were doing, they always looked up to the sky.
The scene of Zhu Houzhao offering sacrifices to heaven actually appeared in the sky. Especially at this time, Zhu Houzhao threw the map of the Ming Dynasty and the list of gods he held in his hand towards the burning fuel of luck.
In an instant, the Ming Dynasty territory map and the list of gods were eroded by luck, and the purple color was faintly visible. The so-called fire of luck was not an ordinary flame, and it had no harm to the Ming Dynasty territory map and the list of gods. It seemed to be smelting.
Two things.
This scene on the altar appeared high in the sky, and everyone in the Ming Dynasty could see this scene. A glimmer of enlightenment emerged in the hearts of countless people, as if they suddenly understood what was going on.
For a moment, everyone was staring at the sky, their eyes full of expectation and excitement.
On the altar that was a hundred feet high, Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists subconsciously when he saw this incomparable scene. There was nothing wrong, everything was correct, my companion did not deceive me, and this altar could indeed help me ascend successfully.
With such thoughts flashing through his mind, Zhu Houzhao showed excitement on his face. He took a deep breath and stepped forward, stepping into the blazing fire of destiny.
"His Majesty……"
"Help..."
Seeing this scene, many people were startled. They watched Zhu Houzhao being swallowed up by the flames. Everyone subconsciously exclaimed. For example, Wang Zheng, Wang Yangming and others instinctively rushed forward to try to save Zhu Houzhao.
.
However, the figures of several people passed directly through Zhu Houzhao and the flame appeared on the other side.
"How is it possible..."
Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, Han Kun, Wang Zheng and others were all stunned. They looked at Zhu Houzhao in the flames, and then at themselves, with horror in their hearts.
Zhu Houzhao reacted at this moment, smiled at Wang Yangming and others, shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
Being in the flame of luck, Zhu Houzhao felt that his spirit was infinitely sublimating, as if a mysterious force was integrating into his body.
Suddenly, Zhu Houzhao felt blessed in his heart, stretched out his hand to grab the territory map of the Ming Dynasty and the list of gods in the flames, and shouted: "The road is like an abyss, the luck is endless, my will is the will of God, the Ming Dynasty God is here!"
With a click, black clouds suddenly billowed high in the sky, and a huge bolt of lightning struck down violently towards Zhu Houzhao, who was glowing with immeasurable light.
As if Zhu Houzhao's actions had touched some kind of taboo, the rolling thunder followed one after another, as if they were going to kill Zhu Houzhao completely.
However, the boundless thunder hanging down was blocked by the blazing flames. The fire light jumped and all the thunder dissipated. Even the corners of Zhu Houzhao's clothes were difficult to touch.
With a click, the altar of luck floating in the air collapsed, and the majestic luck fell like a torrential rain, pouring into the list of gods, the map of the Ming Dynasty territory, and even Zhu Houzhao's body.
At this moment, countless people across the Ming Dynasty saw this myth-like scene, especially Zhu Houzhao's screaming voice, which came from the sky and was clearly audible in their ears.
"The Ming Dynasty"
"The Ming Dynasty"
…
Suddenly, countless people came to their senses and shouted in unison, looking at the scene high in the sky with infinite enthusiasm.
Although they didn't understand what was going on, the moment Zhu Houzhao's voice rang in their ears, there was inexplicable joy in their hearts, as if they had broken free from some shackles.
There was only one voice in the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty. Tens of millions of people shouted in unison, causing the sky to shake and the thunder to dissipate.
The people's heart is the heart of heaven, and the will of the people is the will of heaven.
For a moment, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be blessed by immeasurable divine power. He stretched out his hand and made a move. The list of gods and the Ming Dynasty Territory Map suddenly rose into the sky. The Ming Dynasty Territory Map filled with immeasurable purple rhyme suddenly rose into the sky and became extremely large. In an instant,
They cover the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty and merge into one.
At the same time, Zhu Houzhao had a thought in his mind, and he saw countless rays of light pouring out from the list of gods. These rays of light sank into the bodies of all the civil and military officials present. Everyone on the list of gods had a ray of light falling into them.
However, there are also some officials who have not entered the body with brilliance, including the heads of vassal states and envoys from various countries.
Obviously these people are not accepted by Zhu Houzhao, so naturally they are not favored by luck.
But this is just a group of civil and military personnel near the altar. You must know that as the list of gods rises into the sky, a huge amount of light falls like a stream of light. In the vast territory of the Ming Dynasty, countless people only feel a stream of light sinking into their bodies. Even those who are seventy years old,
From the newborn baby down to the ground, all the people of the Ming Dynasty are favored by luck.
On the high altar, Zhu Houzhao was clad in the blazing fire of luck, and he looked like a supreme god. Although the entire Ming Dynasty and even the people had received great benefits, the greatest benefit was naturally obtained by Zhu Houzhao.
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao looked solemn, looked around, raised his hands high, looked up at the boundless sky, his mind was moved, his eyes were full of expectation and he murmured: "My dear friend, I'm here!"
Zhu Houzhao was seen holding up the red copper cauldron on the altar with both hands. There was something magical in his eyes and he shouted: "All the people in the world help me, the Ming Dynasty will rise!"
