"Your Majesty, I have a word."
Hearing this sentence, everyone slowly became quiet.
Looking up, it was none other than the queen Xu Miaoyin standing quietly on the altar.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Feng also turned his head to look at her, the corner of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "Queen? Does the queen have something to say?"
"To the emperor for permission."
"Since so many people have expressed their opinions today, the queen is the mother of the world, so why not say it. You can say it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Miaoyin took a step forward calmly, Nan Yan could feel that under the sun, her face was paler than before, but facing hundreds of eyes below, she still said firmly: "Just now, Mrs. I have heard what Mr. Jian said."
"..."
"Accordingly, or according to the rules, neither King Ning nor King Wei can be conferred as the crown prince, so they are not qualified for Yaxian."
"..."
"So, I think that you don't need to fight any more."
At this time, the Minister of Rites took a step forward, bowed his hands to her, and said, "Empress, the matter of Yaxian is no small matter. If neither King Ning nor King Wei can do it, who else can?"
Xu Miaoyin glanced at him.
However, he did not answer his words, but turned his gaze to Jian Tongguang again, and said, "Old Jian, I heard from the emperor just now that the etiquette of the sacrifice this time is all that Mr. Jian has consulted from ancient books in the past, so, There are rules to follow and traces to follow, right?"
"good."
"That is to say, as long as there are records in ancient books, or in other words, there have been precedents in previous dynasties, we can follow them."
"good."
"Then," she straightened her back, and said, "This time, I will be responsible for Ya Xian."
"...!"
Everyone was shocked.
Even Jian Tongguang was shocked.
Xu Miaoyin said calmly: "My palace is also familiar with ancient books. Whether it is the records in ancient books or well-known deeds, everyone should remember that in the Tang Dynasty, there was a precedent for Empress Yaxian."
"..."
"Since today, no one else is qualified to be Yaxian, let me do it."
Everyone was speechless for a while.
Indeed, in the Tang Dynasty, there was indeed a queen who surpassed the prince at that time and served as Yaxian when she was enshrining Zen in Mount Tai. Served as Yaxian's record.
However, after all, it has become a precedent.
Now, although Xu Miaoyin made this seemingly unreasonable request, it seems reasonable and reasonable for her to be Yaxian when King Ning and King Wei are not qualified for Yaxian.
It's just that, for a while, it was hard for everyone to talk.
After all, at the beginning, it was "King Ning" and "King Wei" who were fighting, but now, the queen suddenly appeared. It seemed that everyone was not good at fighting with the queen, but they were unwilling to let go in vain.
Therefore, the scene became somewhat stalemate.
At this time, Nan Yan said softly from the side: "The queen's proposal is reasonable and reasonable, and there are examples to follow."
As she spoke, she glanced at some concubines around her.
Originally, Concubine Kang and the others were all standing aside in a daze, because the sacrificial sacrifice was a matter for the emperor and his officials, they just came to take a look, but they didn't expect such a sudden change, and when the empress stepped forward, everyone stood up. A little stunned, there is no consciousness to speak.
And Nan Yan took a look at them, and they came back to their senses.
Concubine Kang thought for a while, then said softly, "This is true."
Immediately, the surrounding concubines, such as Li Pan'er, Xin Qing, and the others all said, "The empress can be Yaxian."
Immediately afterwards, standing under the altar, Xu Miaoyin's younger brother, General Xu Shifeng, and some cronies of the Xu family also said: "The empress can be a sacrifice!"
For a moment, their voices overshadowed those of the previous ones.
Zhu Feng stood on the altar without saying a word.
He only looked at them indifferently, and at this moment, he looked at Jian Tongguang again.
"Old Jane."
"exist."
"Queen, can I be Yaxian?"
"this-"
Jian Tong's gray eyebrows frowned.
For him, it is not enough for them to accept a woman as Ya Xian, but King Ning is even more unacceptable to them than the queen.
So, he hesitated for a while, and finally said: "Empress Empress, you can be Yaxian."
Zhu Feng smiled.
Then she said to Xu Miaoyin: "Queen, come."
"The concubine leads the order."
Xu Miaoyin let out a long sigh of relief, but the cold sweat on her forehead became more intense. She walked slowly towards the altar, and when she passed by Nanyan, she glanced at her.
Nan Yan nodded slightly at her.
Xu Miaoyin walked to the altar.
Under Zhu Feng's guidance, she completed Yaxian.
Some people below all heaved a sigh of relief, and the next sacrifice was carried out very smoothly.
After all the sacrificial rituals were completed, Zhu Feng waved his sleeves lightly and turned around.
Li Guan said: "Li Cheng."
The people below look at me, and I look at you.
No one spoke, and in such a quiet atmosphere, there seemed to be a strange undercurrent brewing.
At this time, I saw King Ning stepping forward, smiling and saying to Zhu Feng: "Your Majesty, the sacrifice ceremony is complete, and there is one more important thing to do next."
"Um?"
"Today is Princess Xinping's first birthday. The emperor has also ordered that Princess Xinping's jade plate be sent to the side hall today."
"Um,"
Mentioning this, a smile flashed across Zhu Feng's face.
Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she looked up at him, Zhu Feng said, "That's right, this matter is also very important."
After finishing speaking, he waved his hand: "Present the jade plate of Princess Xinping."
"yes."
The ceremony officer immediately went down, and after a while, a tray came across, on the crimson brocade, a thin booklet was firmly placed.
It was almost exactly the same as the booklet I saw in the side hall before.
It's just that it's much newer.
However, following that ritual officer, there was another ritual officer, also holding a tray in his hand, but what was placed on the tray was something wrapped in golden silk and satin.
As soon as Nan Yan looked at it, her breath sank.
This is-
Zhu Feng said: "This is—"
"Your Majesty," Zhu Xuan said with a smile, "Today is a major event of moving the capital. Moreover, the Emperor and Empress personally sacrificed to heaven and earth. Such a major event should naturally be added to the clan's memorabilia."
Zhu Feng raised his eyebrows: "You mean—"
Zhu Xuan said: "My brother thinks that this matter should be recorded in the emperor's jade plate. Moving the capital is the emperor's achievement, and it should be passed down from generation to generation!"
