"Your Majesty, this, this, this..."
Manager Zhou knew that Xie Tianyao rarely looked like this and was so interested in something, and he couldn't help but feel a sudden change in his heart.
Xie Tianyao laughed and said, "Didn't you say that Liu Zhizhou is invincible and unparalleled in the world?"
"good!"
A flash of light flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I will give him a chance to leave Beijing alive!"
Manager Zhou took a deep breath.
This was the first time that Xie Tianyao expressed his desire to kill Liu Zhizhou so directly.
But he knows...
Once Xie Tianyao expresses this idea, it means that he is actually shaken by this idea.
Yes.
If he wants to kill, he won't express it first, he will do it directly!
That's the kind of person he is!
At this time, he said it directly. Then there is only one possibility...
Xie Tianyao was also made angry by the arrogant barbarians these days.
As for this huge dragon flame, it seems that only one Liu Zhizhou can control this group of barbarians... Coupled with the sudden appearance of this remnant of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and the ambiguous attitude of the nine Jiedu envoys, in such a complicated situation , it seems that only Liu Zhizhou is available?
Therefore...
Holy lord...
Manager Zhou was shocked and lowered his head to listen.
Xie Tianyao smiled lightly and said: "How can it be that simple to marry my daughter? What I want is a truly unparalleled, capable man with both civil and military skills!"
"This time..."
"Open recruitment for a consort!"
"What?"
Manager Zhou's expression changed drastically.
This is getting bigger and bigger the more you play!
public!
Once it is made public, it means that this time the recruitment of a consort will no longer be based on identity, origin, or even region or ethnicity! In other words, this time, both Ironwood City and Mizuno Masashige, who want to get involved with Princess Longyang in various ways, have the opportunity to participate!
this……
This method of recruiting a consort is probably the first time in the Longyan Dynasty’s thousands of years!
He could imagine what kind of uproar it would cause when the news was read out!
…
The sun is scorching.
It was also the first time Liu Zheng had worked so hard since he came to this world.
All kinds of jumping around...
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, is this old emperor so tired of changing his clothes?
Finally the official said, "Your Majesty has arrived!"
Let the whole place become silent.
At the sacrifice site, thousands of people knelt down to worship. I saw Xie Tianyao, wearing a green uniform, walking over there. When he came to the Huangqian Hall, there were two attendants, one holding a gold basin, and the other kneeling with a towel for the emperor. Wash your hands in a golden basin.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
At this time, all the officials chanted in unison.
The old emperor Xie Tianyao slowly entered from the north gate of the altar to the Beiling Star Gate, and then went up from the Beiling Star Gate to the first floor of the altar.
The sacrificial music resounded throughout the Huangqian Palace.
Xie Tianyao is a very strong person. Even though the weather is hot, even though he is about to be 70 years old, and even though he is sweating profusely when walking, he still guarantees with difficulty that he will not tremble while walking.
What he wants is the dignity and grace of an emperor of the Longyan Dynasty.
Slowly, with the music and the singing of hundreds of officials, he came to the second level of the altar, which is the highest level. When he stood still, a group of ceremony officials came out to carry out this complicated feudal superstitious activity. …
"If the law is applied to the people, worship it; if you die and work hard, worship it; if you work hard to stabilize the country, worship it; if you can prevent great disasters, worship it; if you can defend against great disasters, worship it!"
Worship ancestors.
Then we must first offer sacrifices to heaven and welcome the emperor and god.
The music played "The Chapter of Shiping", and the emperor knelt down at the highest level and offered incense.
All civil and military officials could not afford to kneel down.
After this procedure was completed, the emperor returned to the throne of his ancestors, offered incense, kowtowed, and returned to his throne.
Then perform three kneels and nine bows to the gods.
Sacrifice to heaven is the only ceremony in which the emperor needs to kneel three times and bow nine times.
This process only takes half an hour.
Then, the second process was to lay jade and silk fabrics. The emperor went to the throne, laid jade and silk fabrics before the throne, and the whole audience played "Jing Ping Zhi Zhang" before returning to his throne.
The third step is to advance to the throne: the emperor arrives at the main seat, moves forward to the throne, plays the "Xianping Chapter", and returns to the throne.
The fourth process: the initial gift: the emperor went to the throne and knelt down to offer his honor, returned to the throne, played the "Chapter of Fengping" and danced the "Dance of Qianqi". Then Si Zhu knelt down and read the congratulations, and his joy was suspended. After reading the music, the emperor knelt three times and bowed nine times, and presented his title to the throne before his throne.
The fifth process: Xingya Presentation: The emperor presented titles to the gods, played the "Jiaping Chapter" and danced the "Dance of the Feather Armor". Return to your seat.
The sixth process: the final ceremony: the emperor presented honors to the gods in turn, played the "Zhang of Yongping" and danced with the "Dance of Yuqiu". The minister of Guanglu Temple presented Fu Xun and went to the throne of God to hold it in high esteem. When the emperor comes to drink blessings and receive Zuo, he will kneel down to receive blessings, receive Zuo, bow three times, return to the throne, and kneel three times and nine times.
The seventh process: Withdrawing the food: Play the "Chapter of Xiping".
The eighth process: seeing off the emperor: the emperor knelt three times and bowed nine times, and played the "Chapter of Qing Ping". The sacrifices were sent to the furnace for burning, and the emperor came to the throne and played the "Chapter of Peace".
The ninth process: Wang Liao: The emperor watched the burning of sacrifices and played the "Zhang of Peace".
So far.
The ceremony is over.
Liu Zheng was almost starving to death at this time!
God!
A full three hours!
Three hours!
He really couldn't believe that Xie Tianyao's body could survive this. This sacrifice once is like a triathlon! The emperor had to follow the steps up and down, and these civil and military ministers were very tired. Some people who are in poor health already have symptoms of heat stroke, but they have to endure it! Because in the feudal dynasty, sacrifice was a very important matter. The Dayan Law clearly stipulates: "Every time a sacrifice is held, after the sacrificial vessels are presented, the censor and the Taichang Temple officials are ordered to patrol everywhere. All the deacons and officials accompanying the sacrifice, such as Anyone who spits, coughs, talks, laughs, or makes noises in the altar and temple, regardless of clan members, Jueluo, ministers, or officials, shall be named for reference."
It can be seen that the discipline at the sacrifice site is strict, and coughing is not allowed!
Sacrifice, in ancient times, was an activity for the emperor to demonstrate and emphasize his "natural divine power" to the world. Naturally, the requirements were extremely strict and solemn.
When all these procedures are completed.
The legs of all the people present were numb.
At this time.
Manager Zhou finally stood up, holding a notice in his hand, and said loudly: "In the thirty-ninth year of Pingyu, I heard that there was a daughter living in the Western Regions. I was worried about her and couldn't sleep at night. This is from the Longyan royal family..."
When the whole audience heard this, they all became energetic.
coming!
Princess Longyang is coming again!
Liu Zheng smiled slightly and straightened up.
Tiemucheng's eyes shone, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Mizuno Masashige also smiled and did not intend to miss this opportunity to muddy the waters.
The rest of the people in the audience also tensed up their nerves.
Because they know.
This time Princess Longyang's wedding is really crucial.
