The Nine Heavens Pagoda is located outside the Xuanwu Gate, an empty field outside the palace, which is equivalent to an ancient beacon watchtower in the Imperial City of the Forbidden Palace, and its shape resembles a modern Parisian Eiffel Tower. The first floor below it occupies a very wide area and is a rectangle, and then the first floor is smaller than the first floor, until it towers into the sky.
Such a tall Nine Heavens Pagoda can be built with stones and pig iron. This is really staggering in ancient times when the floors were only two and a half floors at most! However, the Nine Heavens Pagoda really stands in front of my eyes.
Therefore, some people in Yanjing City call it the Nine Heavens God Tower, or the Nine Heavens Dragon Tower, which is a tower that is inviolable to gods. Whenever there is a severe drought or flood, all civil and military officials, the people of the world and the emperor himself will feel that it is a disaster from heaven, and they will hold a ceremony here to sacrifice to heaven.
And the crown prince's canonization ceremony must be able to go to the Nine Heavens God Pagoda, which is indeed the rule left by the ancestors of the Yan Kingdom. It is said that the great prince Zhu Youmao was deposed as the prince because he could not ascend the Nine Heavens Tower.
At this moment, the sun was rising in the east, and under the radiant light, the top of the tower of the Nine Heavens God seemed to be on the top of a shining sun. Under the gaze of everyone, it was more obvious that the gods were majestic and daunting.
When Linghu Shuiyue and Jiu Ye came to the Nine Heavens God Pagoda, all civil and military officials were neatly standing in front of the pagoda. Needless to say, the emperor, empress, empress dowager, prince and concubine, other princes and grandchildren, and even wives and ladies of civil and military officials, can all come to watch today's grand ceremony of the prince ascending the pagoda.
Around this pagoda, the Imperial Forest Army guards it heavily at the moment, so it is difficult for even a mosquito to fly in from outside, right? It was difficult for mosquitoes and flies to fly in, but Xiao Jiufenghuang and Xiao Bailong who were following Linghu Shuiyue and Master Jiu were a little bit scornful of the guards here and the tower.
Xiao Bailong and Xiao Jiufeng looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched. In their eyes, this tower is really nothing! And the fourteenth master and Cui Xianxian who were preparing to climb the tower at the moment, they also snorted coldly and watched with fists in their hands.
The Fourteenth Lord of the Crown Prince and Cui Xianxian, the Crown Princess, are the protagonists today. They all wore very formal court attire, the prince's gown with red embroidered dragon and the princess's palace dress with red embroidered phoenix. Because they want to climb the tower, their palace costumes are all waist-tied, with swords hanging from their waists, and they look like war kings and war princesses who are going to war!
After the emperor's imperial decree was read out by the minister of the Ministry of War, a loud shout resounded through the sky—the prince and princess began to climb the Nine Heavens Tower—
After this loud sound, there was a sound of "boom!", and there was a fierce and high-pitched war drum! It was like going to the battlefield, the scene was very solemn, no one dared to speak out, and the mood was particularly tense.
Linghu Shuiyue also became a little nervous with the sound of the drum, and because there were so many people, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, she took Jiu Ye's hand. Master Jiu's ten fingers were tightly intertwined with hers!
It wasn't until this moment that Linghu Shuiyue felt that when Master Jiu clasped her ten fingers tightly, the strength in that hand was a bit heavy! Her heart trembled because of it! It turns out that Master Jiu's heart is not as indifferent as his face!
However, now that the imperial decree has been issued, everything is settled! Linghu Shuiyue looked up, they were standing on a stone step, next to the emperor, she saw Master Fourteen and Cui Xianxian stepping onto the first floor of the tower together.
They walked slowly, the tower was ascended by spiral stone steps, step by step, it might take some time to reach the top of the tower, right
