Fang Shuoyang walked towards Long Xiaoyuan.
"My good big brother is really stupid, but it's just such a small crisis, so I can't wait to push out the useful talents under him. With him like this, how many people are willing to work for him ?”
"Yeah." Long Xiaoyuan smiled. "If he wasn't so stupid, how could he be an outcast?"
"That's true." Fang Shuoyang nodded.
Long Xiaoyuan looked at the other party. "What about Xu You?"
Fang Shuoyang replied after hearing the words: "It's a little cold in the room, I'll let him rest more."
"It's not serious, is it?"
"Don't worry, it's all right, Doctor Liu has prepared the medicine."
Long Xiaoyuan felt relieved. "That's good."
After more than a day, the Xishan Festival finally arrived.
On this day, Fang Shuoyang went to the palace early in the morning.
As his bodyguards, Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng naturally followed.
However, the two ended up at the gate of the palace.
Along with them was a twenty-man guard from Fang Shuoyang's mansion.
Among the twenty people, ten are shadow guards.
Long Xiaoyuan and Liu Suifeng became their leaders.
However, today's Liu Suifeng did not wear women's clothes, but men's clothes, but his face was still covered with makeup, which made it easy to see that he was "a woman disguised as a man".
These people will become Fang Shuoyang's personal guard leader after he comes out, and then lead everyone to open the way at the front.
Generally speaking, these personal guards represent the value of their master, and their future is unlimited.
Therefore, the position of personal guard is a highly competitive position in the royal family.
But it's a little different when Fang Shuoyang is here.
To sacrifice to heaven, the king of Zhou naturally had to accompany him.
However, King Zhou will be like a monk all the way. On this day, King Zhou couldn't even speak. This is for silence.
Therefore, the representative leader of the royal family, Fang Shuoyang, will be the one who spoke instead of the other party.
On this day, the King of Zhou needs to wear a white robe, not to mention, the white robe is really two points similar to the cassock.
From the moment he woke up in the morning, King Zhou could not eat anything except two glasses of water.
For the whole day, until the end of the ceremony, he couldn't eat anything except a little water.
In general, this is about making the emperor "remember bitterness and think sweetness?"
Anyway, on this day, his life is definitely like that of an ascetic monk!
This is the sacrifice to heaven in Dongye Kingdom.
Xishan is Huangshan.
It is said that in fact, the Taizu of Dongye Kingdom was the first to proclaim himself emperor in Xishan. At that time, Taizu suffered a lot of twists and turns in order to overthrow the previous dynasty. Almost everyone was folded in Xishan.
However, it was also in Xishan that Emperor Taizu had an adventure.
It is said that he got a kung fu method, and this kung fu method has something to do with the original martial arts leader.
With the help of people from the rivers and lakes, Taizu got up smoothly.
Therefore, Xishan has always been the blessed mountain in Taizu's eyes!
Not to mention, after he ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he also appeared in the form of a real dragon when he offered sacrifices to heaven in the Western Mountains.
Therefore, this Western Mountain is very important to the royal family of Dongye Kingdom.
This time, Fang Shuoyang snatched such a good leader to speak on behalf of the Holy Majesty. It's no wonder the prince is happy! Long Xiaoyuan and the others waited outside for about half an hour, and finally the gate of the palace was fully opened.
Civil and military officials actually arrived inside before dawn.
At this time, under the leadership of Fang Shuoyang, they all followed.
After Fang Shuoyang came out with all the civil and military officials, they stood together in front of the palace gate. Then, he turned his direction and faced the palace.
Under the leadership of Fang Shuoyang, everyone knelt down together.
"Welcome to the emperor." Fang Shuoyang said in a deep voice.
The remaining ministers and others shouted: "Welcome to the emperor."
Naturally, Long Xiaoyuan and the others also knelt down earlier.
At this time, in the palace, a very simple royal car just came out.
It was a sedan chair, but it was all made of bamboo, and it was carried by four eunuchs.
There is nothing in the sedan chair, and the emperor travels only for this day, which is comparable to an ascetic monk.
At this time, King Zhou sat upright in the sedan chair. He was dressed in white, and his hair was even loose, all scattered behind his back.
This is for... back to nature
Long Xiaoyuan felt strange in his heart.
I don't understand who this Jitian made such a scale to torment.
However, the customs of various parties are different, so there is nothing to say.
King Zhou's sedan chair was slowly carried to the palace gate.
Then, Fang Shuo stood up and walked slowly to King Zhou's side.
"Everyone is in peace."
Out of the corner of Long Xiaoyuan's eyes, Long Xiaoyuan saw that the corner of his forehead twitched immediately when the prince heard these words.
Seeing this, Long Xiaoyuan secretly smiled in his heart.
The ministers followed suit.
Then, these ministers lowered their eyebrows and stood on both sides.
Fang Shuoyang stood in front of the sedan chair.
"Set off."
After saying that, Long Xiaoyuan and his guards stepped forward.
Fang Shuoyang got on the horse, Long Xiaoyuan and the others followed, of course, on foot.
Behind more than twenty people is the emperor's sedan chair.
Behind the emperor's sedan chair were several ministers, including the crown prince and fifth prince Zhou Suye.
Behind the ministers and the others is the Three Thousand Imperial City Guards.
The mighty group of people went to Xishan.
Long Xiaoyuan thought, if there were assassins today, such a formation, shooting arrows from the side, should be a good means of sneak attack, which was included in his original plan.
However, in fact, there are hundreds of death guards of the palace emperor following in the dark.
Moreover, this route has already been explored in advance.
Moreover, there are shadow guards ambush along the way.
In such a situation, a sneak attack may not be a good result, but the current plan is better...
It can not only completely mix up the water, but also hide itself.
Now, I only hope that it will go well on the west mountain.
However, Xishan's territory is too large, their purpose is not to assassinate, it should not be difficult.
Thinking of this, Long Xiaoyuan became more determined.
After an hour and a half, they reached the foot of the West Mountain.
Fang Shuoyang, who was walking in the front, raised his hand.
The team stops.
Fang Shuoyang dismounted, then walked to the sedan chair and knelt down. "Welcome to the saint to dismount."
All the ministers knelt down and followed, "Welcome the Holy Spirit to dismount."
The serious facial expressions of each of these people made the atmosphere here seem a lot tense.
Long Xiaoyuan lowered his head, dutifully playing the role of his bodyguard.
The sedan chair was put down, and then King Zhou stepped out slowly.
The next step from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is for the emperor to walk up step by step.
The west mountain is surrounded by forests, and there are many wild animals in the forest.
However, no matter how stupid the beast saw so many people, it would not come out to seek death.
In addition, there is a plain area on the west mountain.
That plain area is the real place to worship heaven, and the altar that has been built for many years is also there.
There, there is another stone monument.
Moreover, this altar is usually guarded by heavy soldiers.
Although Wang Qi and the others sneaked into the Xishan Mountain, they didn't dare to get too close to the location of the altar, for fear of being discovered.
At this time, Wang Qi and the others were only in the depths of the forest.
However, it is precisely because it is in the depths that it can better hide itself.
King Zhou climbed up the western mountain step by step.
However, it was Fang Shuoyang who took the lead.
The prince was even angrier, and the fists beside him were clenched tightly.
Fifth Prince Zhou Suye's gaze flickered for a while before gradually becoming calm.
After a long time, finally, King Zhou reached the top of the mountain and came to the altar.
Long Xiaoyuan and the others were already standing at the outermost periphery.
The territory inside is not something they can enter.
Fang Shuoyang is in the center.
"Congratulations to the Holy One on the altar." Fang Shuoyang said loudly.
"Welcome to the altar!" The other ministers also shouted loudly.
The king of Zhou went to the altar under the attention of all the people.
Then, when King Zhou sat down cross-legged, Fang Shuoyang began to recite the sacrificial oration.
This lengthy sacrificial text was recited for almost a quarter of an hour. Then, Fang Shuoyang collected the sacrificial text, held it in both hands, and went to the side of the brazier, and then put the sacrificial text in it and burned it.
Long Xiaoyuan looked a little weird.
Why does he feel that this offering to the heavens... is a bit like those rituals of monks.
But no matter how much he slandered in his heart, at least the atmosphere in front of him was very solemn.
When all the sacrificial rites were burned to ashes.
Fang Shuoyang suddenly walked to the side of the stele, and then pulled out a sword from the ground.
That's right, the sword had been inserted there a long time ago, and it seemed to be a few years old, but the blade was still very sharp! Fang Shuoyang pulled the sword from the ground.
And then, the slicker actually carved a few words on the stone tablet!
When the last stroke was completed, Fang Shuoyang inserted the sword in again.
At this time, all the ministers shouted loudly. "Long live my emperor, long live! My Eastern Ye Kingdom will be blessed by the heavens and prosper forever!"
And just after all the ministers finished shouting.
Fang Shuoyang also knelt down. "My emperor, long live, long live, long live, my lord, please move."
At this time, in the field, King Zhou stood up.
Fang Shuoyang also stood up, helped the other party and walked towards the stele.
Just when the father and son stood still in front of the stele, suddenly, the forest in the north caught fire!
"Fire!" Someone in the crowd shouted.
Then, the others all looked over there.
Then, everyone saw an unforgettable scene in this life.
The northern forests were ablaze, and the flames shot into the sky. It turned out to be a fire dragon!
dragon! That's a real dragon shape!
It seems that everyone also heard a dragon chant.
"Dragon! Real dragon!" A minister below shouted.
Many people followed, Qi Qi knelt down, looking over there in shock and excitement.
Then, the dragon slowly dissipated, but unexpectedly condensed into a huge "Shuo" character.
In the end, the fire went out so naturally! The fire dragon also disappeared without a trace.
Fang Shuoyang looked at the words that suddenly appeared in the air in great surprise.
Naturally, all the ministers below saw it too.
Naturally, several soldiers and others saw it one after another.
Xishan Worshiping Heaven, such a big action, in fact, there are many people around the foot of the mountain.
The fire shot straight into the sky, forming a dragon totem, which condensed into the word "Shuo" when it finally dissipated.
At this time, the people have already started talking about it.
"Am I dazzled? Why do I seem to see a dragon?"
"No, I can see it even if you don't have dazzle."
"My God, what the hell is going on here?"
"In addition to seeing the dragon, I also saw the huge character 'Shuo'."
"Ah, isn't that the name of the Fourth Prince?"
"Yes, only the name of the fourth prince has this word."
"Ah, did God tell us that the Fourth Prince is the real Dragon Emperor?"
"Ah, really? Did God come to tell us on purpose?"
"Fourth prince! Fourth prince!
The people all shouted from below.
Not to mention that the people below are already in chaos, even on the west mountain, it is also in chaos.
"Shuo, isn't that the Fourth Prince?"
"Could it be that the fourth prince is the real dragon emperor?"
The ministers also discussed softly.
King Zhou's expression sank.
Fang Shuoyang was at a loss, his expression was very shocked, innocent, and flustered.
"How could a good forest catch fire? Father, beware of assassins, let's send someone to investigate." Fang Shuoyang said in a panic.
King Zhou gave him a deep look, but he didn't speak, he couldn't speak, so he just nodded.
Fang Shuoyang immediately ordered someone to investigate.
However, when those people arrived at the place where the fire broke out, they were shocked to find that the fire that seemed to fill the sky did not actually burn a single tree.
The fire started inexplicably, even with thick smoke billowing, but ended quietly.
Even the guards who went to inspect felt that they had encountered a miracle.
These guards soon came back to report and told about the wonderful scene they had encountered.
These guards are all confidantes of King Zhou. Even if King Zhou doesn't believe in Fang Shuoyang, he won't believe them.
At this moment, the guard's words made him fall into silence.
The prince panicked, stood up instinctively, and said loudly: "Father, there must be something weird in this!"
He looked at Fang Shuoyang with a scorching gaze, as if trying to pierce people through.
Fang Shuoyang didn't say anything when he heard the words, and he didn't show any aggrieved expression, just kept silent.
Some officials who disagreed with the crown prince immediately said: "His Royal Highness, what's so strange about this? From the perspective of the veterans, this is a miracle descended from heaven."
"That's right." Another person echoed.
The prince was instantly mad.
The Prince's faction immediately quarreled with the person who said the miracle.
Subsequently, many other ministers joined in the "quarrel".
King Zhou's expression darkened.
Fang Shuoyang was even more at a loss, "Father, what should I do? My son really doesn't know anything!"
King Zhou took a deep look at Fang Shuoyang, then raised his hand.
Following King Zhou's action, everyone fell into silence.
Zhou Wang's sharp eyes swept over everyone one by one, and then made a gesture of offering sacrifices to the sky.
Fang Shuoyang immediately completed the next process.
Originally, this sacrifice to heaven was coming to an end, but this accident happened.
In fact, Fang Shuoyang was really surprised.
He knew what Shi Qingzhou and the others would do together, but he didn't expect that they could really make such a "miracle". At this moment, he really wanted to know how it all came about!
The sacrifice to heaven continued, but everyone was a little absent-minded.
Even, some of the ministers of the old fox knew that, God, it would probably change.
Before that, they have to think of a way to protect themselves wisely, or simply stand in line...
