Chapter 602 The Heaven Sacrifice Begins

Worshiping heaven is a waste of money and people.

But it's also an event.

Therefore, even if it was a waste of time and money, the entire imperial capital was still filled with lively emotions.

After all, this is where the face of the dynasty lies.

There will be a street parade before the start of the heaven sacrifice. The emperor will travel from the imperial palace, and then walk along the Siling Sishen Street. Of course, it is only the inner city. The imperial capital is too big, and it will be late to parade around the outer city .

Hundreds of officials will go with the emperor, and those nobles will wait outside Xuanwu Street, and go to Xuanwu Lake together.

Princess Yongle obviously belongs to the latter, and of course she belongs to Xungui, and it is impossible for a daughter's family to have an official status.

Even if you were far away, you could still hear the cheers of the emperor parading through the streets. When the parade was finally over, everyone went to Xuanwu Lake.

As the escort of Princess Yongle, Qiao Ye finally saw the so-called Xuanwu Lake.

This is a very beautiful lake. Even if there is no one there all year round, there are special personnel to take care of it. Although it is not big, it is sparkling and very beautiful.

Looking from a distance, you can see that in the middle of the lake, there is a building built directly on the lake. It has a red roof and yellow walls. Although it is not large in scale, it is still majestic. There is a white jade bridge in front of it, carved with dragons and painted phoenixes. One side of the bridge is connected to the emperor's temple with red roof and yellow wall, and the other side is a round white marble platform, which is the altar used for worshiping heaven.

At the beginning of the sacrifice to heaven, the emperor would walk from the temple to the altar to perform the ritual of offering sacrifices to the sky, while the others stayed on the boats on both sides. After all, so many people couldn’t stand up, and the temple and the altar were really not that big.

And until the end of the parade and heading to Xuanwu Lake, everything was normal, no different from what was expected.

However, when boarding the ship, something went wrong suddenly.

Qiao Ye looked at the guards in front of him and said, "We can't go up? Why?"

The guard in front of him said: "All entourage are not allowed to board the boat, and wait on the shore!"

This is not the same as promised!

Not only Qiao Ye was in a hurry, but everyone else was also in a hurry. They couldn't get on the boat. How should we escort Princess Yongle back?

Since King Ruyang would give such an order, it means that the guards must be able to board the ship in the past, why not this time?

Everyone was anxious, but there was nothing they could do. This was not the time to be entangled. Moreover, the guards of Princess Yongle were unwilling even if the other guards were not on board?

It will be very problematic!

Princess Yongle also winked, signaling everyone to back off, and then boarded the boat alone.

Seeing the people getting on the boat, the boat gradually went away. Several guards looked at Qiao Ye and said, "What should we do now?"

Qiao Ye said: "You ask me, who should I ask?"

Qiao Ye also had a bit of a headache. The so-called plan was the most fearful thing that happened outside the plan, but Qiao Ye couldn't keep up with it.

Qiao Ye secretly thought, according to the information revealed by Xiao Luo, Ru Yang King should have mixed into the boat, or there are people from Ru Yang King on board, then, Ru Yang King should also know the current situation, and he will definitely have to deal with it That's right, it's a blessing in misfortune.

Qiao Ye was worried that the identities assigned by King Ruyang to the defenders would be guards, and that would be a great joy now.

Qiao Ye looked around while thinking.

There are so many people!

After all, only a small number of people can go to the center of the lake, and most people are on the shore. Looking at it this way, it is impossible to tell who is the defender.

"Be safe and don't be impatient!" Qiao Ye sighed helplessly: "I can only see the tricks!"

Qiao Ye was telling the guards of Princess Yongle, and at the same time telling herself that there really seemed to be no other good way at the moment, but to stay on the shore first.

Xuanwu Lake is not big, and the boats quickly reached the center of the lake.

But there is a time for worshiping the sky, and the emperor needs to take a bath and change clothes, then enter the emperor's temple, and will not come out until the time is up.

However, when entering the Emperor's Temple, Qiao Ye saw that His Majesty the Emperor of the Dagan Dynasty was only in his teens. No wonder he was called the Puppet Emperor.

About half an hour...

"It's time!"

The eunuch and the great sage shouted from the shore, and the officials knelt down on the ground.

The gate of the Emperor's Temple opened, and His Majesty the Emperor straightened his clothes, stepped out of the Emperor's Temple, and walked towards the sacrifice platform in front of him.

...

at the same time……

The imperial capital, the imperial palace!

Perhaps the emperor and all the civil and military officials went to sacrifice to heaven, and many concubines accompanied him, so the palace seemed deserted and quiet.

Pass the main hall all the way, and come to the harem, the deepest part here is the Xingqing Hall, no one comes and goes on weekdays, even the eunuchs who come and go here are very few.

Even the courtyard of the Xingqing Hall seemed to be in disrepair because no one took care of it.

This is the residence of the Supreme Emperor of the Dagan Dynasty.

There are many rumors about this Supreme Emperor.

There are rumors that it was because of fighting with others when he was young, and since then he has a secret illness. Now that he is old and the old injury has recurred, it is already difficult to support him, and he can only linger on.

There are also rumors that the Supreme Emperor was poisoned by someone. Although he saved his life, his life is not long.

There are also rumors that something went wrong in the training of the Taishanghuang. He originally wanted to attack the realm of the demon god from the demon king. At that time, the Daqian Dynasty will rule the world just around the corner. However, the Supreme Emperor failed to break through.

In short, there are many rumors in the market, and no one can tell whether they are true or false, but one thing seems to be generally accepted, that is, the Supreme Emperor has not been alive for a long time.

Think about it too, as long as the body is healthy, who is willing to give up the throne?

Even living in the deep palace for a long time, whether the Supreme Emperor is alive or not is a problem.

However……

The Supreme Emperor is indeed still alive, and he is alive and well.

According to Xiao Luo, if King Ruyang wants to rebel, there are three major problems that he has to face, the first of which is...

Too emperor!

In Xingqing Palace, an old man quietly opened his eyes, then got up and came to the courtyard.

Over the years, the Supreme Emperor has been living here, neither recuperating from injuries, nor sick, nor dying, but there is one rumor that is true.

The Supreme Emperor in front of him wants to become a Demon God!

After stepping into the realm of gods, life can be continued. For this reason, he even gave up the throne and let the treacherous officials in the court rule.

Because these things don't matter to the Supreme Emperor, as long as he can become a god, he doesn't care about them.

Since you have become a god, why do you need to care about human affairs?

It's just that few people know about this matter, only close relatives know why the Supreme Emperor abdicated, for example, that His Majesty.

For example, King Ruyang!

But no one can guarantee that when King Ruyang wants to usurp the throne, whether the Supreme Emperor will act.

After all, no matter how you don't care about it, the current His Majesty is the position of the Supreme Emperor, and that position has not been passed to the hands of King Ruyang after all.
