Zhao Huai, following the will of the people, held the coronation ceremony.
Now he came to the ancestral hall to worship his ancestors.
The ancestral hall is located at the deepest part of the Yan Tang Manor, which is not only the gathering place of the old Yan country, but also the spiritual tokens of the Yan royal family across generations.
When the Yan country was left with only its ministers, the only things they could take away were the spiritual tokens. Money and treasures were all plundered, and only the spiritual tokens of the royal ancestral hall were left untouched.
Thus, they set up the spiritual tokens in the Yan Hall, burning incense and offering worship to them.
Always remembering the past glory of Yan Country.
The area of the royal ancestral hall was not small, but it was still crowded.
Zhao Huai also came to this place for the first time. If not for the necessary ancestor worship before his enthronement, he would not have visited it.
Did he have any attachment to the so-called Yan ancestors?
Not really, only a sense of destiny.Folloow current novÊls on nov3lb((in).(com)
But without ancestor worship, how could he emphasize the legitimacy of “upholding the will of the ancestors and winning the hearts of the common people”?
Zhao Huai listened to Song Heqing’s words.
In Yan’s traditions, the emphasis is not on the traditional thoughts of the Middle Ancient Immortal Dynasty, where people gained the Heavenly Mandate and ruled over the people.
Instead, they valued the new concept of the people being the most important, the nation second, and the ruler being the least important.
Since Ancestor Yan Zu ascended, he broke the Heavenly Mandate, and he was a once-in-a-thousand -year extraordinary figure. Isn’t the Heavenly Mandate just a decoration to him?
In his eyes, Ancestor Yan Zu was indeed a remarkable person.
According to the rituals, when entering the royal ancestral hall, one should bow with both hands clasped for every step taken to show respect to the ancestors.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Zhao Huai walked step by step into the ancestral hall, bowing for each step taken.
After the time it took for a joss stick to burn, he finally saw the Emperor’s spiritual tokens.
Regardless of anything else, he was still the Crown Prince of Yan, with the bloodline of Yan Zu flowing in his veins. When meeting his ancestors, it was only right for him to worship them. Zhao Huai knelt on the cushion and respectfully bowed, saying, “The 164th generation of Zhao’s descendants, Zhao Huai, came to worship our ancestors.”
A small bow required only a slight stoop, while a big bow required prostrating oneself to the ground.
If he were alive, shouldn’t he come home and have a look?
Yan Country was destroyed, and he never appeared, could it be that he had perished?
As for the specific answer, Zhao Huai felt that thinking about it now was still too far away.
Perhaps, when his own strength improved, it would naturally surface.
Suddenly,
His black ring sparkled with golden light, apparently sensing something from the White Jade Imperial Dragon Seal.
He took out the White Jade Imperial Dragon Seal.
With a surge of brilliance, the imperial dragon seal instantly transformed into a treasured mirror.
In the ancestral hall, strands of golden sacred light emitted dazzling rays, and then all of them were absorbed by the treasured mirror.
Golden sacred light flowed through Zhao Huai’s body and poured into the ancestral weapon, the treasured mirror.
Three golden characters emerged on the mirror and quickly disappeared.
“Reincarnation Treasured Mirror.”
Zhao Huai took a glance and memorized it, murmuring to himself.
Golden light gathered in the treasured mirror, and then overflowed.
Transforming into a pillar of light, it roared and shot straight into the sky.
Zhao Huai’s Qi Sea operated on its own, stirring up the magic power in his whole body, and a golden phantom slowly rose. The appearance of the phantom was identical to Zhao Huai’s.
This caused quite a stir, catching the attention of the people outside the ancestral hall.
“Have the ancestors of Yan Country revealed their divine presence?!” “What a divine aura, is this the power of Yan Country’s ancestors?”
“The Royal Crown Prince really is the one chosen by the Heavenly Mandate of Yan Country!”
Both the soldiers of Yan Country and the common people of the south looked in the direction of the golden light pillar.
As if activated, the national fortune of the White Qilin Immortal Dragon of Yan Country once again emerged, appearing like a neatly arranged star map, with the shining points activated in the blink of an eye.
This golden qi waved, spreading out from Yan Hall, all the way to Nanyu Prefecture, and even across the entire south..
