(The fifth update has been completed, please support me!)
It’s noon on May 27th, the 24th year of Tai’an.
In the Wangfu Campus, a high platform has been set up, and the incense table has been placed on it.
In addition to these, the various Taoist utensils and flags used by friends around me made the stage look like a cluster of flowers.
In order to prepare these things, Guan Hetai spent a lot of effort. After all, this was an errand assigned by Zhao Yanxun.
On the high platform, He Sidao held a mahogany sword and asked his assistant in a panic: "Junior brother, is there anything else that needs attention? Think about it carefully and be sure not to have any accidents!"
Zhang Junru was very calm: "Don't scare yourself, just do everything I asked you before, and things will be settled!"
"Besides, even if some of the details are wrong, the people in the palace may not be able to tell!"
Hearing these words of comfort, He Sidao's nervousness eased a lot.
At this moment, the officials from the palace gradually arrived, and the two people on the stage honestly shut up.
The officials who came from the audience were all civil servants from the Changshi Division, following Zhou Chengping and Guan Hetai.
Under the guidance of the eunuch, after arriving at his position and taking a stand, Zhou Chengping asked Guan Hetai, who was standing next to him: "Yesterday, His Highness took over the military power of Dusi. What do you think of this?"
"It's a good thing. The strength of our palace has increased, and it will be safer in the future!" Guan Hetai said calmly.
"But this is not in line with the rules after all!" In the end, Zhou Chengping couldn't help but say this.
Knowing that he had such a temper, Guan Hetai smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, what time is it now? Rules can be changed!"
Now the imperial court may be dead, but Zhou Chengping still abides by the so-called rules... This makes Guan Hetai not sure what to say to him.
Zhou Chengping didn't say much more. Compared with his previous upright character, he has changed a lot during this period.
"On the contrary, His Highness attaches great importance to today's ritual... I don't know what the purpose is!" Guan Hetai murmured.
He is a utilitarian person, so in Guan Hetai's view, everything Zhao Yanxun does has his own interests in mind.
But now, what is the purpose of asking Taoist priests to perform rituals?
The Emperor of Heaven bestows blessings, and the prince wants to accept the blessings from Heaven and respond to people? Could it be that... he has the heart of an emperor?
In ancient times, there was only one person who could communicate with heaven, and that was the supreme emperor.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Yanxun's own performance of the telepathy between heaven and man will only make people feel funny and think that he is overestimating his abilities.
While Guan Hetai was thinking about it, all the military attachés on the other side also arrived, and their number was no less than that of the civilian officials.
Among these people, in addition to the people from the Guards Department, there are also the Soldiers and Horses Department represented by Wang Cheng and Duan Hong.
Zhao Yanxun wanted to mythologize himself, so the more witnesses the better, so even the off-duty guards were called to the school grounds.
In fact, although Zhao Yanxun invited many people, there were still some who did not show up.
For example, the Longyou government and Yuanyang dignitaries, these people have always refused to deal with him, so naturally they will not join in his fun, not to mention that the so-called approach is still nonsense in their opinion.
Besides, there were many people in the school grounds at this moment, but no one spoke.
There was only the roar of the wind, but it made the place feel particularly solemn.
After a while, after all the attendees arrived, Zhao Yanxun also came over in this chariot sedan.
The chariot sedan landed in front of the high platform, and Zhao Yanxun, dressed in royal robes, stepped off the chariot sedan and slowly walked towards the steps.
Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, everyone at the scene bowed down and shouted: "See you, Your Majesty!"
The voices of hundreds of people rang out in the school grounds and spread to all parts of the palace in an instant.
After walking up the steps, Zhao Yanxun knelt in front of the altar, took the incense from Zhang Junru's hand, and then kowtowed to the unknown Emperor of Heaven while mumbling something.
On the side, He Sidao held a mahogany sword in one hand and a talisman in the other and began to perform rituals.
Although the movements are not very professional, it is definitely not visible to a layman, which also gives He Sidao great confidence.
Everyone in the audience had different thoughts, but they mainly speculated on Zhao Yanxun's intentions.
The ritual lasted for more than ten minutes, and He Sidao, who was jumping up and down, was exhausted.
According to Zhao Yanxun's previous instructions, He Sidao put down the thing in his hand after shouting "The ceremony is done".
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Heaven is here to answer your questions. The Emperor of Heaven's blessing is about to come, so please put it on the shelf!"
As soon as He Sidao said this, there were more than a dozen guards immediately carrying thirty newly made wooden frames and placing them one by one in front of the high platform where the ceremony was performed.
Looking at the bare wooden frame, everyone felt disapproval and secretly wondered what the purpose of this thing was.
The prince was deceived by these two little cow noses. Although it sounds unlikely, after all, how could the wise prince be deceived, but it is indeed the most reasonable explanation.
At this moment, Zhao Yanxun from the high platform could be heard loudly saying: "I must follow the decree of the Emperor of Heaven!"
After saying this, Zhao Yanxun silently said "receive the reward" in his heart.
Then the next moment, the originally empty shelf was filled with exquisite armors.
From nothing to something, this scene seemed so incredible that no one could believe their eyes.
A few people were stunned on the spot, while most people rubbed their eyes and still couldn't believe it after opening their eyes again.
There is no one around the shelf. This is truly a creation out of thin air and cannot be a deception at all.
Could it be that it was really a blessing from the Emperor of Heaven? Doubts arose in everyone's minds.
At this time, they looked at the sky above their heads, and their eyes became a little more pious, even Zhou Chengping, who firmly believed in Zi Bu Yu's strange power and chaos.
Could it be that His Highness is really a divine being? Guan Hetai was thinking, and his expression seemed a little excited.
What does the successful induction of heaven and man mean? It means that Zhao Yanxun is the destined emperor, which is recognized by heaven.
Since Zhao Yanxun is the destined emperor, then aren't these ministers recognized by God as ministers of peace and stability?
These thoughts are not only in Guan Hetai's mind, many people understand their meaning.
Looking at the high platform at this moment, Zhao Yanxun's back, dressed in imperial robes, already glowed with divine glory in everyone's eyes.
"Your Majesty Zhao Yanxun, thank you very much for the gift from the Emperor of Heaven!" After saying this, Zhao Yanxun once again bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to the air.
After Zhao Yanxun stood up, he heard Guan Hetai in the audience kowtow and say: "Your Majesty, Guan Hetai, is willing to assist His Highness to fulfill the decree of the Emperor of Heaven!"
As Guan Hetai knelt down, everyone around him suddenly realized and knelt down to show their loyalty.
Wang Cheng and others, who were the latest to join the palace, felt even more excited at this moment. They saw hope in the apocalypse.
Under the leadership of Zhao Yanxun, the son of destiny, they firmly believe that they can survive the crisis and keep themselves and their families alive.
"Excuse me!" Zhao Yanxun stood in front of the high platform.
At this moment, his expression was serious, but his heart was already happy.
This event was extremely successful. He has become a myth in the hearts of everyone and has gained a lot of loyalty.
"Two of these armors will be given to the soldiers and horses of Qianhu!"
Hearing this, Wang and Cheng were greatly shocked. This was a treasure given by the Emperor of Heaven!
Then the two people who just stood up knelt down and kowtowed again: "I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
Zhao Yanxun then said: "Give five pieces to the 100 households in the bodyguard department!"
That's right, there are now five hundred households in the Guards Department, including Chen Yuhe who just came to work in the palace.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
These thousands of households are rare military talents. Giving them these things is not only to protect their lives, but also to show that they value them.
Of course, these are all minor issues.
The most important thing is that Zhao Yanxun proved in front of everyone that he had successfully received the induction from heaven and man, adding divine glory to himself.
