For the ordinary people in Changling, the most important thing in the new year is to visit relatives and friends, especially some elders, it is even more important to walk around, say New Year's greetings, and say some auspicious words.
For the dignitaries of Changling, the arrival of the new year means that the history books have turned a new page and have more meaning.
Emperor Yuanwu has entered the twelfth year of his reign, but all the dignitaries in Changling know very well that since the sixth year of his ascension to the throne, this most powerful emperor in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty has seldom asked about political affairs. It is retreating and concentrating on practicing, asking with one heart.
Even though the vast majority of people can't be sure of Emperor Yuanwu's true cultivation, everyone can almost be sure that the eighth realm is not a problem for him.
So the Tao he pursued was the ninth realm of longevity.
In these years, almost all the internal governance and external expeditions of the entire Great Qin Dynasty were handed over to the two prime ministers and the empress.
But this does not mean that he only cares about his practice and let it go, just like Jian Tiansi Si Shou Ye Ce Leng came back in the rainstorm and stabbed Zhao Zhan with a sword, which made all the nobles in Changling feel that he had an invisible big hand While controlling the entire Great Qin Dynasty, he also kept reminding all the nobles how he became a great treasure.
Since the sixth year of his accession to the throne, although the strongest emperor in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty has rarely seen his ministers, only the two prime ministers and the queen can occasionally see him on weekdays, but at the beginning of every new year, he will first entertain the ministers , Then on the second day, go to the platform to pray for blessings, and do some patriarchal things.
All the nobles knew very well that the Holy Majesty must appear in these two days, and it was necessary for all the nobles, including people from various enemy dynasties, to see that he was still healthy and strong, or even stronger.
So even if it was a banquet that didn't need to follow much ancestral etiquette on the first day, the atmosphere was still extremely heavy and depressing.
In the Hall of Preserving Harmony, the blue-gray floor tiles exude the luster of a lake covered with water plants.
All the nobles sat in front of the case.
Ye Celeng sat behind the first row of cases.
Among all the heads, she is the only woman, so she still looks very abrupt.
Not far from her, a fat man with a figure like an iron tower squinted his eyes and exuded an extremely domineering aura. It was the Marquis Hengshan who forced her to draw a sword in the past.
On the two sides closest to the holy seat, there are two prime ministers. At this time, the two prime ministers have not arrived, but the queen and the future master of the Great Qin Dynasty, several princes have already arrived.
The empress who stepped into this hall was wearing the truly most beautiful phoenix crown back dress of the Great Qin Dynasty, and she looked so dignified and beautiful that it was extremely dazzling. Ye Celeng's eyelashes trembled slightly, they didn't stay on her body at all, but landed on Prince Fusu's body behind her.
Her eyes are slightly cold.
It can make her eyes tremble a little, naturally there is a big abnormality.
At the same time, many dignitaries saw the difference between Fusu and the previous ones, and felt the aura emanating from him. Several dignitaries who could speak in front of the queen couldn't help but congratulated each other and said: "His Highness Fusu is really talented!" Extraordinary, it is really gratifying to have stepped into the fifth realm at such an age."
Many officials who hadn't noticed it were suddenly taken aback.
Although you are a prince and a queen, he naturally has the strongest support on the way of cultivation, and the first few stages are relatively time-consuming. However, at Fusu's age, it is normal to enter the fourth stage, but entering the fifth stage, This is not just something that can be done with the resources of a country, it has a great relationship with his own talent and acquired teaching.
An Baoshi, Jing Liuli and others may have stronger aptitude and acquired education than Fusu, but they do not have such strong support, so at this time many officials even thought in their hearts that in time, the future Emperor of Qin might be He is still the strongest practitioner in Daqin.
The queen smiled slightly, and she was naturally satisfied at this time.
However, at this moment, a court lady behind Fusu said: "His Highness Fusu can understand sword scriptures and classics related to cultivation at the age of three. In the history of our Great Qin Dynasty, there is only one person like His Highness Fusu. His Highness Fusu will naturally be the best practitioner in the Changling Mausoleum in the future."
Many court ladies are very close to the empress and the prince. Even if they speak on such an occasion, no one will think it is too polite, especially since the Holy Majesty and the two prime ministers are not present yet, especially when several dignitaries speak up, the atmosphere is a little relaxed, but she His words, some of the words inside, were like thunder, like the coldest sword, instantly stunned everyone, instantly stunned many people, and instantly frightened many people.
Even Ye Celeng turned pale.
Even Xu Hou of Hengshan was sweating slightly on his back.
Many people even stopped breathing at this moment, and beads of incomparably cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
At this moment, the air in the entire hall seemed to be completely frozen, falling into absolute silence.
All eyes were focused on the maid in disbelief.
How much courage and madness do you need to dare to say such outrageous words!
At this moment, a majestic singing came from the road outside the palace.
This means that Liangxiang and Shengshang are not far from this temple.
With His Majesty's cultivation base... it is impossible to hear loud words at such a distance.
The complexions of many people were instantly white.
Looking at the beautiful court lady, they began to understand that these words with deep meaning were definitely not accidental mistakes.
Although what the maid said was true, in the history of Great Qin, there was indeed only one person like Fusu who could comprehend the sword scripture at the age of three, but all the history books about that person had been burned before Emperor Yuanwu ascended the throne!
The most important thing is that many dignitaries know... Daqin's most honorable hostess, Her Royal Highness, had some stories with that person before.
That man comprehended the Sword Sutra when he was three years old, and Fusu also comprehended the Sword Sutra when he was three years old.
What kind of reverie does this arouse
Although the words that praised Fusu on the surface fell on the ears of all the nobles, they were more vicious than any other words and made people feel cold.
A young man with an extremely modest face trembled slightly.
He was sitting not far from Ye Celeng's side, in a very high position. He was Huang Zhenwei, the head of the patriarchal law department.
At this moment, he looked at the dignified and beautiful court lady with a look of unbearable expression on his face, and wanted to speak, but even he didn't dare to speak after all.
Fusu, who was still smiling brightly for a few breaths, also clearly felt the drastic change in the atmosphere.
It's just that he doesn't understand why.
Because before he could understand the sword scriptures, all those history books had been burned and rewritten, and before he was born, no one dared to say that person's name.
He looked at the beautiful maid behind him in shock, and then turned to look at his mother for help.
The queen's face was still flawless and dazzlingly beautiful, but her eyes gradually turned cold.
Even for Fusu, Fangfo saw a terrifying cold sword drawn from the bottomless ice pit, his eyes felt stinging, and an unprecedented cold fear suddenly appeared in his heart.
Some officials at the back were terrified and trembling with their heads bowed.
She slowly turned her body sideways, looked coldly at the beautiful maid who seemed to be a little unclear, and said, "No matter who is standing behind you, do you think that doing this can change anything?"
There was a dead silence in the Palace of Preserving Harmony.
She looked at the maid, shook her head, and said, "I can't change a single thing."
The beautiful court lady said respectfully and apologetically, "I'm sorry."
Then she said in a very low voice, "Just say these words."
Before the queen could speak again.
The beautiful palace maid gave a bleak smile and said, "The guilty servant deserves to die."
With a "poof", she didn't make any unnecessary movements, but a mouthful of blood gushed out of her mouth.
Fu Su stared at such a scene dumbfounded, he felt that the palace maid had completely lost her vitality when she said those words.
Especially when he was right in front of the maid, seeing that the mouthful of blood spurted by the maid before she died was about to spray on his clothes.
However, at this moment, an inexplicable force appeared in the temple.
A surge of heaven and earth vitality suddenly poured in from the entrance of the palace, enveloping the whole body of the palace lady.
Time seemed to stand still completely.
The blood and the maid's body were at an absolute standstill.
Then in the next instant, the blood and the maid's body...all the clothes, flesh and blood were destroyed by this force into countless fine dust within a breath.
Because the dust was too small, and because the instant change was too unreal, everyone didn't even feel the slightest sense of blood at this moment.
It wasn't until all the dust disappeared, and the wind transformed by the lost vitality of the heaven and the earth was blown high into the sky, floating to nowhere between the heaven and the earth, that the people in the temple began to be occupied by various emotions.
Ye Ce lowered his head coldly, and stopped looking away, only looking at the food table in front of him.
A figure wearing a dragon robe appeared at the entrance of the hall.
Behind him, there are two majestic figures with breath like towering mountains, the two faces of Daqin.
It's just that compared with him, it seems to be very short, just like the steps under his feet.
This emperor, the most powerful in the history of the Great Qin Dynasty and the most loved by his subjects at the moment, has an extremely confident and powerful expression on his face, unlike the night when he faced the queen alone.
"Excuse me."
Facing all the dignitaries saluting, he smiled slightly, as if the terrifying realm just shown had nothing to do with him, as if nothing had happened.
That maid, like everything he had wiped out, never seemed to have appeared in this temple.
The indifference in the Queen's eyes has long since completely dissipated.
A true motherly smile appeared on her perfect face.
So, as in previous years, the Holy Majesty took his seat, held a toast without much red tape, and opened the banquet.
A feast where the emperor and his ministers meet each other and the Great Qin Dynasty moves forward steadily.
