In the process of reciting the sacrificial words, Zhou Bai felt that his mind was gradually becoming empty. In the dark sky, there were many eyes following his sacrificial words and projecting them to the lower world.
If a person with great supernatural powers opens his heavenly eyes and looks up, he will definitely be horrified.
There are heavenly officials who monitor the lower world, there are heavenly forces who have been paying attention to Zhou Bai, and there are also some unknown elders...
The land of three counties and a combined population of more than 2.4 million people is not a big country, but it occupies one-third of Dingzhou's territory, which is a bit conspicuous.
No matter which immortal in heaven, the fate support of a state is a weight that cannot be ignored.
As a Qianlong who could possibly unify Dingzhou, Zhou Bai was qualified to be taken seriously during the founding of the country at this time.
Therefore, the mind constantly warns and warns itself.
However, since he was worshiping the heaven as a king, he could afford this attention and did not feel any pressure.
"Mian followed the requests of many and offered sacrifices to Heaven and Earth on September 27, the first year of Tongzhi, that is, the official residence was in Andu."
The dark clouds dissipated and the sky was clear in autumn. Zhou Bai obviously did not use magic amplification, but his voice reached the ears of every witness with incomparable clarity.
"Announce it to the world, and the envoys will hear about it!"
When the last sentence of the memorial text was finished, the civil and military officials, soldiers and citizens under the altar could no longer hold back the excitement and pride in their hearts.
Together they shouted loudly: "I will see you, the king!"
After today, they are people of the country, and they will no longer be easily abandoned by the imperial court in this land.
Many "old men" who have followed Zhou Bai for a long time have tears in their eyes. The court, the one on the altar, will lead them to form their own court!
The strong sense of belonging prompted everyone to shout louder: "Anbei! Anbei!"
In the midst of the celebration, Zhou Bai slowly placed the memorial text on the sacrificial table, and then opened the wooden box wrapped in yellow cloth next to it, revealing a seal inside.
The whole body is pure gold, entwined with fish, dragon and python patterns. Although it is not dazzling, it can't conceal its majestic quality.
What's more important is that if you look carefully, you will find that there are five colors of light hidden on the seal, flowing out.
"Huh~"
Zhou Bai let out a long breath, slowly picked up the seal, and raised it high above his head. Suddenly, the luck of the three counties swarmed in.
More than 2.4 million people suddenly felt at ease and had a strong sense of belonging, as if they had an extremely subtle connection with something.
The invisible shadow of the national seal slowly rose, covering the three counties.
Gather the destiny of the people and stabilize the destiny of the country for generations!
"The national seal made of five-color gold?! Zhou Bojun is good at it. With this seal, the Tianzhu will definitely be able to stand."
"Hiss, my lord has searched for treasures all over the world, but he has not been able to find such a lucky treasure as five-color gold."
"The key is that the characteristics of five-color gold can always be retained. Even if we open up new territories in the future, pay homage to princes, and recast the national seal, it will not affect the destiny of the country."
In addition to the civil and military officials of Anbei Kingdom, there was a small group standing not far away. They seemed to be extraordinary people. They were all dressed in gorgeous clothes and spoke in extraordinary ways.
Several people recognized it at a glance. The national seal in Zhou Bai's hand was made of five-color gold. It was a treasure that all the heroes in the world would fight for.
They were envoys invited to watch the ceremony, including people sent by the other two forces in Dingzhou, representatives of nearby states and counties, representatives of the Jin Kingdom, etc.
Time was too tight, and most of the people who came were monks and Taoist officials. It couldn't be said that all the nations came to court, but it was a bit more lively.
At least the Anbei Kingdom established in the north of Dingzhou, under the leadership of Zhou Bai, was a force that had gained a reputation and was recognized by the outside world.
A lot of boundless luck was sucked in by the national seal. The storm was violent, and a strong wind came and went away as fast as it came.
Some people closed their eyes to avoid the wind and sand. When they opened them again, Zhou Bai had already covered the national seal on the memorial inscription.
Immediately afterwards, he put the sacrificial text into the sacrificial tripod burning with incense and articles, and a wisp of green smoke rose up.
If there is a person with cultivation level, with the spiritual eyes of Qi Observation, they will find that Qing Yan not only took away a memorial letter, but also took away a considerable amount of luck.
Zhou Bai's eyes flashed, and he felt helpless as he saw the large amount of luck wrapped in the green smoke. This was almost 30% of the luck that the national seal had just gathered.
Although it can be recovered slowly in the future, it is still a huge amount of luck.
The specific conversion can be said to be equivalent to the basic luck generated by hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land and a good harvest.
However, Zhou Bai couldn't show his dissatisfaction. Instead, he had to appease the shrinking luck fish and dragon entrenched in his life.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. When we gather hundreds of millions of people in the future and you become a real dragon of luck, we will give you a hard support."
This is the luck material that he has to give up at this stage. To be sure, he even temporarily blocked the connection between the three Tiangongzi stele and the Book of Luck.
Let the Heavenly Monument convey completely true luck to Heaven today, lest any elder notice it on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China and cause unnecessary trouble in advance.
Giving money to do things is an important guarantee for the reputation of Heavenly Court.
When the majestic luck of Zhou Bai's sacrifice easily passed through the two realms and reached the heaven, the relevant heavenly officials immediately responded with "approval".
Visions began to appear one after another, fairy sounds and birds, pieces of light and rain and broken flowers falling on the altar...
The sky was clear just now, and a brilliant cloud suddenly appeared, causing countless people to exclaim.
Especially the shadows of many heavenly palaces that are looming behind the clouds are strong evidence of Zhou Bai's destiny orthodoxy.
This is not over yet. In the end, it seems that in order to repay Zhou Bai's generous sacrifice, purple air comes from the eastern sky, faintly accompanied by the dragon's roar...
Spending so much luck just for flashy visions?
If someone asks, Zhou Bai's answer must be very affirmative, it's that simple.
Because these rarely seen visions represent auspiciousness, their appearance in Zhou Bai's ceremony to worship heaven is a symbol of destiny.
The heavenly court recognizes that you, Zhou Bai, have a destiny to found the country, and this is based on legal principles.
If he was really guilty of the crime, there would be no prayer, and there would be no vision at all to highlight Zhou Bai's holiness.
The successive appearances of these destiny visions shocked the people of the three counties. They united and called Zhou Bai's name as the king.
The square formation of the mission was silent. After a long time, one person sighed: "I'm afraid it's not just Zhou Bojun's luck in offering sacrifices."
"Well, the higher-ups should think highly of this person, or maybe it's a good sign."
Only the envoy from the Liang Kingdom shook his head and said unconvinced: "Although there are many visions of destiny, there is no genuine vision of a real dragon. My Marquis of Liang, on the day of worshiping the sky, there is a shadow of a yellow dragon crossing the sky. This is shared by countless people. witness."
"For this reason, after the country was officially established, the people returned home and the wise and talented people came here in admiration."
In today's Middle-Earth, due to the overall situation of destiny, the highest national status is limited to the princes. Even the eldest prince is a prince who is named a prince based on the land of four counties.
Therefore, Liang Guo is a well-deserved big country in the north. In addition, the Liang Guo envoy is a second-level Taoist official, so his words will naturally attract the recognition of many people.
None of the envoys felt that there was anything wrong with the Liang envoy's arrogance. The appearance of the shadow of the Yellow Dragon meant that the central Yellow Emperor was most likely standing behind the Liang Kingdom.
There must be more than one country chosen by the Emperor of Heaven, but if Liang Hou can be recognized, he must be the leader in the north.
"Wait a minute, Zhou Bojun may not have confirmed the country's destiny..." someone said.
When everyone's eyes focused on the altar again, a golden light shone on Zhou Bai directly above it, making it temporarily impossible to look directly at it, and no one could pry into the scene inside.
This is someone above establishing contact and communication.
Zhou Bai seemed to have expected it. He was not panicked at all, but adjusted his appearance and posture to prepare for what was coming.
The next moment, in the golden light, he saw the light and shadow of Tianguan projected down. The first ones to come were naturally the Red Emperor's lineage who were the first to discover him and put a label on him.
The figure and appearance of the female heavenly official were revealed, and she was still an old acquaintance, Chi Qing.
"Chi Qing Tianguan, you are well." Zhou Bai bowed his hands in greeting, his demeanor was graceful, completely different from the previous one who put himself in a weak position.
Chi Qing was just a little stunned, but she didn't feel it was inappropriate. The leader of a country and her were talking to each other on an equal footing, which was a sign of respect for both parties.
She curved the corners of her mouth in a nice arc, bowed her hands and gave a Wanfu gift, and then said softly: "Bojun, you are well."
"Jinshi Tianren, General Subduing Demons, it seems you still like the position of king and leader."
Zhou Bai saw that Chi Qing spoke naturally and did not hide anything, and said straightforwardly: "It is a strange thing for a monk to embark on the road of Qianlong. Let's not talk about coincidences for the moment, but difficulties and obstacles are inevitable."
"If I say that those who take this path have no great ambitions and do not seek the last position, would you believe it, Lord Chi Qing?"
Chi Qing nodded slightly and agreed: "In this case, Bojun needs the support of important people even more. When you build the country today, you must have decided on the virtues that the country will inherit?"
"The Red Emperor really knows about the existence of this little character like me?" Zhou Bai said with a smile.
Chi Qing's projected light and shadow walked slowly, looking at Zhou Bai, and the golden light envelope followed her.
"Being number one in the top two in the year of calamity, Qianlong Qianlong, Demon-Suppressing General, and co-owner of three counties with 2.4 million people, Bojun still thinks he is a small role?"
After Chi Qing asked back, she then approached Zhou Bai: "Choose Chi De, and the Red Emperor's lineage, including myself, will fully support you. You will be famous in the heavens, and even unify Tianyuan Continent and become the emperor."
"I know you are very practical, so as long as you choose Chi De, you will receive resources equivalent to 20,000 heavenly skills, and you will be given priority in plane recruitment..."
"Or is it that we were the first to contact you, but you turned to the other Four Emperors?"
The last sentence was asked, and the strong and terrifying power hit Zhou Bai's soul, making him feel like he had fallen into an ice cellar, and he felt the threat of death.
Fortunately, this kind of oppression goes away quickly as it comes.
Zhou Bai's chest was filled with thunder, but his expression remained calm. He said solemnly: "This is absolutely not the case. Not long after Bai founded the country, he deeply felt the responsibility he shouldered. He did not dare to admit virtue casually. He wanted to wait a little longer."
"Anyone who receives favor from the Emperor will be rewarded. Please explain it to His Majesty the Red Emperor on my behalf."
Chi Qing's beautiful eyes moved slightly, she took a deep look at Zhou Bai, and sighed: "No wonder you offered so much luck at the heaven ceremony. If it weren't for the great autumn harvest, it would almost shake the country."
"Forget it, you are not the only one who has not inherited the fortune of the Five Emperors for the time being, but please remember, the later you Chengde, the less benefits you will get."
As soon as he finished speaking, the projection had disappeared.
Chi Qing hit a wall, and the lobbyists from the Qing Emperor and Huang Emperor lines naturally failed to sway Zhou Bai.
They each showed their magical powers and offered many preferential conditions, including Tiangong resources, promised one-time support, various information support, etc.
The most important thing is that all three companies have mentioned the Plane Recruitment War. If you choose any of them, you can know a lot of inside information.
Even if you operate behind the scenes when choosing your opponent, it is not impossible to ensure victory in the first draft.
Of course, three of the Five Emperors were interested in contacting them, and this was the fundamental reason why he could refuse.
I can’t afford to offend anyone if I choose, so don’t force me. We’ll talk about it after the first game.
The golden light that enveloped the altar and Zhou Bai was dim, and many of the visions dissipated, and no top-notch true dragon vision appeared, which made many people feel a little disappointed.
As for the envoys, most of them were surprised and delighted. They didn't expect that there was an intention from above, but the two sides didn't reach an agreement?
So good, so good...
After the sacrifice to heaven was over, Shao music played again, Zhou Bai took five carriages and drove back to Andu City, followed closely by all the civil and military officials.
For them, after the sacrifice to heaven is completed, the first major court meeting that follows is the focus of their personal interests.
From ancient times to the present, there are three merits that are the most valuable.
That is, the merit of supporting the establishment, the merit of following the dragon, and the merit of rescuing the rider.
In addition to these three merits, no matter how special or important the merit is, there will be no more rewards.
One person attained the Tao, chickens and dogs ascended to heaven, Anbei was established, and Zhou Bai ascended the throne as king. No one here wants to take some credit.
Not to mention his role in rescuing Jia, no one among the monarchs who showed their cultivation in the Three Realms in Border City County dared to say that they had saved Jia.
The founding of the country and the title of uncle were entirely subjective promotions by Zhou Bai, and few people could match the merits of his support.
Only the skill of following the dragon is a great skill that even the elders of the Dudu Mansion can get involved with.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was successfully concluded, which represented Zhou Bai's destiny, and the founding of the country was based on orthodoxy.
But this does not mean that today's events are over. The announcement of the gradually new imperial court at the first great court meeting is the beginning of the official operation of the country.
A group of civil and military officials who suppressed their excitement lined up at the "palace city" to enter the city, and then followed the newly paved blue brick road directly to Zhongji Palace, which was also the only palace that could be called decent.
Because it was the founding meeting of the People's Republic of China in Anbei, almost all the central officials from the former governor's office and officials from the three counties were present.
After receiving the notice of entering the imperial court, there were many disputes within the respective counties. The local chief and deputy officials were arguing about who would stay in office on September 27th.
Many eighth- and ninth-grade officials with low rank can only be ranked above the steps or even the bluestone "imperial road".
But no one feels dissatisfied. It is not easy to come here, not to mention, they may be promoted soon.
"Pah, pah, pah~"
Qu Zhi, the commander of the Forbidden Army, personally fired three whips in front of the Zhongji Hall, announcing the beginning of the great dynasty meeting.
The palace gates were closed, the Imperial Guards were patrolling with their swords open, and the Taoist priests hidden in the dark were stationed throughout Andu to ensure that everything went smoothly.
In the final analysis, the system is still too young and lacks confidence, so all aspects can only be carried out strictly.
At this time, a majestic voice came from the palace...
"The king goes to court, and all the officials kneel down!"
"I see you, Your Majesty! May our country prosper forever!"
