lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of the fairy magic change!
Autumn is a harvest season.
For this human world who has a practitioner who has developed a powerful force, but whose productivity is no different from the society of the cold weapon era as Lin Xi knows, such a season has greater significance.
The bumper harvest in this year's autumn meant that for some relatively poor people in Yunqin, it meant that they could eat their stomachs in the coming year, have more meat on the table, and hang more bacon and salted fish under the eaves during the Chinese New Year.
For a huge empire, the harvest in autumn is the blood that supports the operation of the entire empire.
For several consecutive years, the weather has been smooth, which can make the treasury rich.
Several natural disasters for several years can make the treasury empty.
In the past three years, from the Barbarian Rebellion at the Border of the Dragon and Snake, to the Biluoting Rebellion, and to the defeat of the Southern Expedition... this series of battles has made the empire staggered, sacrificing the soldiers’ compensation, a lot of Recruitment, storage of grain, and the reduction of labor among young and middle-aged people have caused Yunqin's rice prices to rise a lot.
Good weather at this time is more important for an empire.
Every year in the fall, the Yunqin Empire will hold a grand ceremony to worship the heavens, begging for good weather.
The location of the Yunqin Autumn Festival is on the rooftop outside the south gate of Zhongzhou City.
There are three floors in the altar, and there is no house on the stage, but the sacrifice is made to the sky, which is called "Lu Ji". Only three miles away from the Jitiantai, there is a palace named Zhaigong. Because the time of the sacrifice is seven quarters before sunrise, the emperor slept in this Zhaigong the day before, fasting and bathing in incense, hour one When he arrives, he will hold the ceremony.
Because the good weather this year is extremely important to the entire Yunqin Empire, the autumn festival this year is also very grand. I have made sufficient preparations a few days ago, even the Zhongzhou city to this festival. All the streets passing by the rooftop have undergone a comprehensive overhaul and have a new look.
It was close to the hour when the ceremony began, and the sky was still sinking, and the sky lanterns provoked by long poles illuminated the road from Zhai Palace to Jitiantai with magnificent momentum.
The gods made of azure satin on the sacrificial platform have all been put in place. The top level has the main position, the emperor **** position, and the east and west sides of the second floor have subordinate positions-the sun, moon and stars and the ** Fenglei tablet. A large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cow, whole sheep, whole hog, wine, fruit, dishes, etc. are placed in front of the gods. [~] There are more than 700 pieces of vessels for holding sacrifices and various ritual vessels used. There are 16 kinds of chimes, chimes, counterclockwise, and more than 60 musical instruments in the lowest level. They are arranged neatly and solemnly.
Under the three-story worship platform, at this time the civil and military officials were also in place, and Changqing Li had entered the Zhai Palace to welcome the emperor. It stands to reason that the emperor should have appeared at the gate of the Zhai Palace long ago.
However, until this time, the emperor hadn't shown up yet.
Some officials who are preparing to burn fire and play music have held things in their hands for a long time, but their nerves are tense and their hands are sore, and the emperor does not show up, and all their faces are surprised and uncertain.
……
Changqing, the secretary of rites, dressed in luxurious rituals to the sky, and a group of welcoming officials have been standing outside the emperor’s bedroom in the Zhai Palace for a long time.
Seeing that the hour is approaching, the emperor will not show up again, and will delay the auspicious time, Li Si Changqing can no longer hold back, risking offending Longwei and being banished, bowing to the ground, shouting into the palace Said: "Holy Master, the good time has come, the ministers welcome the Holy Master to host the autumn festival ceremony!"
The blood of Changqing Lisi has poured over her head, and her voice is so loud that even the Yunqin officials outside the palace can vaguely hear.
However, after calling three times, there was still no response in the palace.
For a while, this Li Si Changqing froze, and he wanted to rush into the dormitory to check it out. However, at best, the Three-Called Sage was only a crime of defamation. If it hit the dragon couch, it would be the crime of decapitation. The saints are practitioners. If the critical pass of the practice is suddenly interrupted, it may cause more serious consequences.
The atmosphere in Zhai Palace froze for a while.
Time goes by every minute and every second.
Many officials' faces slowly turned pale, and Li Si Changqing finally couldn't hold back, and ordered the two court ladies to open the palace door.
"Holy! Where is the holy!"
As soon as the bedroom door opened, this Li Si Changqing exclaimed in despair.
The palace is empty, so where is the emperor?
……
"What, the saint is not in the palace!"
"Shengshang is not in the palace! Where did he go?"
The news broke, and the officials under the worship platform were in an uproar.
Everyone in the whole world knows that Emperor Yunqin is a powerful sacred practitioner. No one in this world can take him away silently. If he is not in the palace, he can only leave by himself, but he himself Leave, who will know where he went?
"The sage has a decree, so that I will preside over the autumn festival ceremony on his behalf."
A calm voice sounded in the chaos.
There was no sound at the foot of the sacrificial platform for an instant, and the eyes of all officials focused on Wen Xuanshu, the head of Yunqin who made the sound, in front of the hundred officials.
Many people have unbelief in their eyes. If there is a real purpose, how can it be announced when this is imminent and the good time has come, and it will only make the officials panic?
However, most of them felt that if the Autumn Festival Ceremony was abandoned before it was opened, it would be a great disrespect to God. At this time, Wen Xuanshu stood up and could at least make some remedies.
Only a few officials, from some people and Wen Xuanshu's overly calm face, faintly smelled a heart-palpitating breath.
"Good time has come!"
A courtesy official is still hesitating, a courtesy official next to him has already issued orders to a group of courtesy musicians with a stern face.
The bell rings.
The drum music starts.
The wood stove was lit, a three-meter giant red candle was burned in the southwest, and the calf burned in the southeast.
The autumn festival ceremony officially begins.
Wen Xuanshu has a calm face, walks forward slowly, enters from the left door of the worship platform, and worships the seat on the middle platform, and offers incense.
Next, offering sacrifices to the emperor, offering jade silks, offering gifts...a procedure, Wen Xuanshu was completed without any compromises, in an orderly manner, in the solemn atmosphere, many officials calmed down temporarily, just uneasy speculation. What kind of thing has happened that will miss such an important ceremony.
After the dedication, prayers to heaven.
Wen Xuanshu took the sapphire prayer board from the golden basin held by a ceremonial officer and began to tell the sky.
"Fang Jin’s foreign thieves are rampant, Yunqin is restless, but the foreign thieves are all cited by the elder of the Yunqin Kingdom, Sun Jinse. The criminal ministers are fortunate to have God’s favor as Yunqin’s assistant, so he is not sympathetic to himself. The seven deadly sins of Jinse, please judge from the Emperor God."
"A major crime, right and wrong, no distinction between right and wrong, bad for the ancestors' success, killing the heroes of the nation."
"The two deadly sins, self-defeating, rejoicing in success, not listening to advice, opposing good officials."
"The three major crimes, colluding with an enemy country, exchanging weapons for the establishment of a private army, regardless of the country’s body and hatred, is the country’s shame."
"Four major sins, persecuting Qingluan, committing chaos by force, ignoring glory."
"Five major crimes, ineffective officials and rampant corruption."
"The six deadly sins, blame the blame, take false names, give military orders and defeat the generals."
"The seven deadly sins, ignoring the relationship and the five constants, the brother wants to harbour his sister."
"The seven deadly sins are to be seen clearly by the emperor and the holy lord. If there is a phrase that is inaccurate, you can hope for the **** Lei Tianzhu. In fact, the emperor and holy lord should order Changsun Jinse to abdicate and make Changsun Muyue ascend to the throne to restore Qin Qingming , Anbang Dingguo."
……
Wen Xuanshu’s words to the sky only fell into the ears of the officials below. Most people were blindfolded for the first time, completely stunned, stupid, and shaking constantly.
Where is this kind of confession begging for good weather? This is clearly a statement of the emperor’s guilt, and the emperor’s crusade!
Wen Xuanshu is going to rebel!
An elderly official of the Department of Reclamation stood in a daze. He had a completely unreal feeling. He didn't know what happened and how it happened.
Then he saw that many people were covering up well, but he was nervous and not moved.
He looked at his colleagues who were very familiar with each other, and he felt so strange now.
Then he started to remember what he had just heard.
Then this name is only a five-rank, and he usually sees Wen Xuanshu's only non-no promise official at such a moment when the rest of the officials did not speak, but he shouted wildly: "Wen Xuanshu, bold! Rebellion!"
The yell of this old official of the Department of Reclamation made many officials get rid of the dizziness. They also fully reflected what was happening at the moment, and understood what kind of situation they were in. Their hands were Shocked and twitched slightly in fear, but his heart was unusually clear.
Listening to the yelling of this old official, Wen Xuanshu's eyes clearly saw many officials who were originally extremely afraid of him, and their eyes were full of anger, resentment, and killing intent. These officials who were usually timid and weak at this time seemed to have become a pack of wild wolves, who would tear him to pieces at any time.
However, his face was calmer, he just slowly raised his head, looked at the twilight blue sky, and asked the old official of the Department of Li, "Welcome Huang, you said I was rebellious, please tell me what I said. Which sentence is not true?"
"You...you rebellious minister!" The old official of the Department of Rites blocked his chest with a breath of blood and blood, and his face turned purple. For a while, he didn't even know how to argue, but he just roared: "Is there any one you said is true? "
"Let me tell you which sentence is true." Wen Xuanshu calmly looked at the old Lisi official, and said indifferently: "The nine elders are the black and gold carriages given by your majesty, and the curtains are heavy. They are the first emperor. The lesson, but it was abolished overnight, not to mention that Jiang Daren and other elders were the last emperor's death, but they died on the streets of Zhongzhou. You said that the bad ancestors became the law and the country was founded. Is that true?"
"Everyone knows that the Southern Expedition was too urgent, and several elders of the officials had no results. Zhou Shoufu proposed an effective plan, but was instead expelled, even if he did not mention that the elder Sun Jinse came to the throne to fight against Tang Zang and Da Mang. , You said that my second sentence is so great, I don’t listen to admonitions, and instead chase good officials. Is it true?"
"Everyone knows that Zhang Zongfeng to Biluoling bears a large number of heavy armors of heavenly devil. In the past, Mu Shenyun was just a puppet of the eldest grandson Jinse, to build his own private army, but to be arrogant. You said my third sentence is not true. ?"
"Forcing Vice Dean Xia to abdicate, and even the internal disputes in Qingluan Academy, causing countless deaths and injuries, which touched my roots in Yunqin, and Lin Xi’s deeds are well known in the world, but Jinse Changsun persecuted him with his own joy and anger. Are the four sentences inaccurate?"
"Corruption has been rampant in recent years, and people's grievances have been rampant. Do you say I have misrepresented?"
"The Southern Expedition was unfavorable. It was obviously due to poor preparations and reluctance to listen to advice. It caused countless Yunqin men to die on the battlefield and no hundreds of people were displaced. This is clearly the responsibility of the eldest grandson Jinse, but Hu Piyi is to blame, you say Am I untrue?"
"The eldest princess has been forced to flee from Zhongzhou City. You said my seventh sentence is not true?"
With a sound of "poof", under his repeated questioning, the old official of Li Si didn't know where to start to argue. A mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth, and fell back on his back.
