The Crown Prince I’m Raising Has Turned Evil

Under the backlog of anger and the attention of the public, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came quietly.

Originally, this kind of big day to celebrate with the sky and the people was to be held grandly!

As early as a month ago, officials in charge of this aspect made preparations.

But when the sacrifice to heaven was approaching, the emperor cut off most of the red tape and made the ceremony as simple as possible, preferably in a low-key manner, so that he could relax a bit.

Under the emperor's instruction, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens really became very simple.

But no matter how simple it was, it was carried out in public. People who wanted to see the emperor and Xie Linlang gathered around the altar by the Longcheng River early in the morning, waiting for the moment when the ceremony would start!

The reason why there will be a sacrifice to heaven today is because more than ten years ago, the capital encountered a severe drought that was rare in a century!

At that time, all the water streams dried up, and the emperor repeatedly prayed for rain but failed. He could only watch the people die of thirst one after another, helpless.

Just when many nobles decided to move out of the capital, one night, there was a sudden thunder, and the next day, a big mouth suddenly opened in the long-dried Longcheng River bed!

There is a steady stream of water gushing out of it, and there are lots of big, fat fish jumping around!

Because of the sudden flooding of this river, the capital survived the drought.

Later, the emperor believed that this must be the kindness of the heavens and the manifestation of the ancestors, so he designated that day as the day of offering sacrifices to the heavens, and kept this ritual habit until today.

He also built an altar dedicated to offering sacrifices to the heavens by the Longcheng River to show his respect!

The altar is circular, with white marble steps below it, step by step.

And behind the altar, there is a tall semi-circular stone screen. Most people don't know what this is for, but those who have participated in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the sky before know that as long as they stand in the middle of the altar and talk, the people below You can hear it clearly.

Therefore, many people regard this altar for offering sacrifices to heaven as a holy place. Usually, even if no one is guarding it, no one would dare to go up it.

At noon, a ray of sunlight pierced through the center of the city wall.

After noon, it is the time to sacrifice to the sky. The reason why the time is set at that point is because the water gushing from the Longcheng River happened at that time.

But the emperor and others had to rush there in advance to accept the worship of the people.

This made the emperor a little nervous, because he heard that the Shen family was set on fire twice last night, which shows how tense the situation outside has become.

You must know that the emperor's teacher is very prestigious among the people, and the concubine does not fight with the soldiers. Under such a clear class situation, he can actually force the common people to set fire, which is obviously extremely angry!

The emperor didn't deliberately inquire about the situation outside the palace, but Xie Linlang knew it very well. Concubine Liu Hui sent someone to tell her.

Right now, those students who have lost their future and have nowhere to go have become the backbone of the resistance against the Imperial Teacher. How much they respected the Imperial Teacher before, how much they hate him now!

So are their families.

As for those ordinary people who did not directly suffer losses, they were also very dissatisfied with the emperor.

After all, who wants to be a commoner forever? Especially after having hope, hope is destroyed by others, or for some ridiculous reason, this is unacceptable to most people, and they all hope that the emperor will pay the price!

A good show was about to be staged, but Xie Linlang did not go to the altar with the emperor, but planned to wait.

At this time, she was sitting in front of the table, carefully reading a letter that Concubine Die secretly stuffed into her, which was Qin Jue's reply.

Seeing the contents of the letter, Xie Linlang was satisfied but also a little fortunate.

Originally, she wanted to help the emperor and the emperor, but she was afraid that Qin Jue would feel uncomfortable and refused to help.

But fortunately, he is still very conscious of the overall situation, temporarily put aside his prejudices, and tried his best to help her, making her even more powerful!

Sure enough, the previous Dun Dun teachings were not in vain, this child is a talent to be made!

On the other side, after the emperor arrived, he was immediately startled by the impenetrable posture in front of him!

Not only the two sides of the river, but even the houses in the streets next to it, and the stone bridge above the river, were densely packed with people!

It was also very lively when the ceremony was held in the past, but compared with today, it is completely two orders of magnitude!

Moreover, there were so many people at the scene, but it was not noisy at all. This dignified atmosphere not only made the emperor nervous, but also the ministers who accompanied him!

They can even feel that many hidden eyes are looking at themselves, as if they are looking for someone.

What's even more frightening is that the escorting guards discovered that many ordinary people were secretly holding something in their hands, most likely a weapon!

This made the commander of the imperial army a little worried. He trotted to the emperor, talked about it, and asked.

"Your Majesty, something is wrong. Should we continue today's ceremony?"

The emperor passed the curtain to look at the crowd outside the sedan chair, and remembered what Xie Linlang said, he gritted his teeth and said firmly.

"Go ahead, don't worry about them!"

With the emperor's order, the guard of honor continued to move forward.

After the emperor's sedan chair passed, it was the empress's sedan chair.

Not all concubines can attend this kind of occasion, so only Concubine Liu Hui, Concubine Die, and two other concubines came.

Feeling this unusual atmosphere, Concubine Liu Hui couldn't help but lift the curtain and take a look.

Seeing those people who were as weak as quails in the past, she couldn't help showing her unwilling and resentful side at this time. Concubine Liu Hui secretly smiled, thinking that when the master of the meeting emperor came, she wouldn't be beaten to death right away?

How else can we say that a pariah is a pariah? So stupid, just right for her.

After the concubine's sedan chair passed, all the officials accompanied him.

On such an important day, none of them would sit in a sedan chair, and those who came today were all ministers of the sixth rank and above in the court.

In addition to them, the elders of their family who had withdrawn from the court also came, and they arrived at the altar one step earlier than the emperor.

At that time, they will sit on the altar, sit under the emperor's head, and watch the whole ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

At this time, many officials have reached an alliance or consensus, but how it will develop in the future depends on the outcome of today's drama.

After the guard of honor was completed, all the nobles came to the altar under the attention of all the people.

The emperor held Concubine Die's hand and walked up the white marble steps step by step.

During this process, he regretted a little, regretted bringing Concubine Die out, and should have let her stay in the palace.

When they got on the altar, the whole people kowtowed and shouted long live, but the emperor felt the resentment and resentment hidden in it, all the officials felt it, even Longchenghe felt it!

The emperor settled down, and ordered everyone to stand up majesticly. Before he could start the ceremony, he heard a communication, which came from afar.

"—The Imperial Master is here!"

With just one sound, everyone looked over, and the unison pace made the emperor on the high platform jump with fear!
