Chapter 473: Sacrifice to Heaven
Fahrenheit was pregnant in the past, and the imperial physicians consulted. The entire pregnancy period was kept in detail. When the concubine gave birth, a female official with special records was waiting outside the door. I have sent someone to find the female official and asked in person. She said that she had watched the prince be taken out of the delivery room by the Wen Po. In this case, Fahrenheit could still turn into a dragon and a phoenix. As the rumors say, it is unimaginable that the prince was replaced by Mu Enbo's son. Emperor Changqing said.
If this can confuse the royal bloodline, then every emperor will probably not be able to sleep at night.
The Empress Dowager took a sip of tea with a faint expression: It is good that the emperor is not confused by rumors, but everything is absolutely absolutely true. A few days ago, didn’t the emperor hand over the harem to the Ai family to take care of? Recently, the Ai family sorted out and discovered something strange. More than 20 years ago, only Deng An was left. Even the Wenpo, who gave birth to the imperial doctor who asked Hua to take the medical treatment for Hua’s meridians, passed away one after another in the few years after the birth of the prince. Especially the imperial doctor who asked Hua’s meridians for the pregnancy, fell into the water shortly after the birth of the prince.
The Empress Dowager said and took another sip of tea: Of course, it is a coincidence that the book is not enough to explain anything, but it is inevitable that people will think too much. Speaking of this, the Ai family remembered one thing, but the emperor still remembered the lady Hua.
Uh, Emperor Changqing looked confused.
What about Huada Girl? He now has a headache when he hears the surname Hua
The empress dowager raised her lips and said, "It's Hua's niece. Before marrying the Crown Princess, the prince and the Grandma Hua secretly fell in love with the Grandma Hua. In order to let the Grandma Hua enter the palace, the prince and the imperial concubine made even know about the Ai family. The Ai family even heard that the Grandma Hua had a secret marriage.
Emperor Changqing opened his mouth: I don’t know about this.
The Empress Dowager smiled: The emperor is busy with all kinds of things, how can such private affairs in the palace be heard in your ears? Does the emperor know what happened to Miss Hua in the end?
The Empress Dowager paused and said slowly: I committed suicide by rushing to the temple. At that time, the Ai family was still wondering. According to the rules, in addition to the Crown Princess, there were also two third-rank prince Liangdi in the East Palace. Miss Hua entered the palace to be Liangdi, but did not insult her identity. Why would Hua prefer to let her relative's niece commit suicide by hanging herself? She did not agree to her entering the palace.
What does the mother mean? Emperor Changqing's eyes tightened.
The Empress Dowager smiled and said: The Ai family has nothing to do, but now when I hear this rumor, if I take the rumor seriously, I will suddenly have a more reasonable explanation of Fahrenheit's original actions.
Emperor Changqing was silent.
The Empress Dowager said no more and said lightly: In any case, the crown prince of a country is the top priority. The emperor will not be wrong to think more and investigate more.
Emperor Changqing was a little distracted and after a while, he said: Well, I understand. Thank you, my mother, for your advice, I will go and see the queen.
Staring at Emperor Changqing's departure, the Empress Dowager raised the corners of her mouth.
She doesn't care whether the rumors are true or false, and the most important thing is to make the emperor change his crown prince.
Not to mention that the legitimate prince is likely to be alive now. Even if there is no legitimate prince, she is not allowed to harm the son born to the legitimate prince's woman to take that position.
In the palace, after the Tiangou Food Day, the fear among the people reached its peak, and the saying of the prince's non-royal bloodline is rampant.
In the palace of Pingwang, Pingwang laughed: God really helps me, it’s too time for Tiangou to eat.
As for the sign of a great disaster, hehe, what is he afraid of? Let a fake prince inherit the throne, what is it not to destroy the country?
It can be seen that God is still open to his eyes
What? The father said that the prince would ask the prince to sacrifice to heaven and pray for blessings with him. When he heard the reward from his subordinates, King Ping was stunned.
First, the earth moves, then the Tiangou Food Day, and the father actually wants the prince to sacrifice to the sky
Is the father indifferent to the rumors
Ping Wang sneered.
Then he will see if the father will remain indifferent when something happens to the heavens.
Even if he can't get that seat in the end, he would rather be cheaper than a Xibei product.
The Imperial Heaven Supervision soon selected the auspicious day for sacrifice to heaven, and it was set to be seven days later.
The date selection was so hasty that it was only a few days before. Taichang Temple was busy and overwhelmed. Officials of all sizes built floors in the yamen and finally arranged everything the day before the sacrifice to heaven.
After all the arrangements were made, the Taichang Temple Minister asked the two adjutants again.
Both young ministers said that they were.
The Minister of Taichang Temple was still worried and ordered: Take the people and check it thoroughly from beginning to end. This sacrifice to heaven is extraordinary, and there is no difference.
yes.
It was soon the day of offering sacrifices to heaven. Emperor Changqing, who had been in a vegetarian for several days, took a bath and changed his clothes early, wore a robe and a crown of badges on his head, and led the prince and civil and military officials to the Temple of Heaven to worship the heaven.
The people of the capital came to hear the news, three layers inside and three layers outside surround the Temple of Heaven, and waited honestly under the Imperial Guardians to maintain order.
The ceremony of worshiping heaven was solemn and complicated. Emperor Changqing stood on the high Temple of Heaven and began to worship heaven and pray for blessings under the auspices of the true master of Xuanqing Guan Beiming.
The Temple of Heaven is the tallest building in the capital. Countless people look up and see their emperors every move.
The whole process was solemn and quiet, and even the children who followed their parents to watch the emperor worship the heavens were covered by their parents and were not allowed to make sounds.
In such a solemn and solemn atmosphere, Emperor Changqing was extremely pious and successfully completed every step of sacrifice to heaven.
Then, the emperor retreated and the prince climbed to the sacrificial platform.
The people couldn't help but talk.
Why did someone else climb up after the Emperor worshipped the sky?
He had the ability to look on tiptoe and looked hesitant: It seemed like the prince.
When the prince heard this, the people around him talked louder and even had a small riot.
Didn’t that the prince was not the emperor’s biological son? That’s why the genius repeatedly warned him.
Yes, yes, let the prince go to sacrifice to heaven, nothing will happen
Sujing, Sujing, the Imperial Guards scolding the people and maintaining order.
On the day of worshiping the sky, although the Imperial Guard had a sword, it could not be pulled out to face these ordinary people. Therefore, it was quite difficult to control it. The scorching sun was in the sky, and each of them was already sweating profusely.
Look, what a sudden scream rang out, followed by more screams.
The Imperial Guards did not bother to scold them, and turned their heads to look at them, and couldn't help but be stunned.
I saw the nine-sided sky-sacrificial flags on the high Temple of Heaven suddenly ignited in the wind, turning into a ball of fire, like nine small golden crows about to fly into the sky.
Just as people were stunned, one of the pillars of sacrifice collapsed and hit the prince's feet not far away, splashing countless sparks, making a shocking sound.
