C206 Rites of Heavenly Worship

Yan Fei just didn't want to leave. He shouted loudly, "Your majesty, please spare Tian Er, the tiger poison is not for sure, Your Majesty, Tian Er was just speaking nonsense out of excitement, I beg of you, please let Tian Er go."

heard what Yan Fei was saying as he knelt at the entrance of the palace. Xuanyuan Mo could not help but shake his head, a loving mother had always been a failure to a child. Even now, he was still thinking about how to drag down the crime on his son.

"Someone, come." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Your Majesty."

"Go, get someone to send Yan Fei back, don't let her make a ruckus outside the door." Xuanyuan Mo said with a trace of impatience.

"Yes."

The morning assembly the next day.

"The Crown Prince was incompetent, and acted against his superiors. He wanted to rebel and hurt his brothers, thus, he was unable to take on the position of Crown Prince. From today onwards, he will abrogate his position as Crown Prince and be demoted to a bastard. Imprisoning the Eternal Peace Palace will forever be impossible for us to leave the palace. " Xuanyuan Mo said coldly.

None of the officials dared to say a word. Even those who were usually so focused on the crown prince were so frightened that they didn't dare to make a sound.

"Although something like this has happened in the imperial court, the Rites of Heavenly Worship cannot be delayed. Let the Battle-King do this temporarily." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Yes, your son shall obey."

Within the clan's manor.

Xuanyuan Qingtian had been locked in here for several days already, and he had always thought that his royal father would not treat him like this. He would definitely be able to leave until Xuanyuan Mo's royal decree was passed on. Only then, Xuanyuan Qingtian's imagination would be shattered.

The imperial edict demoted the lofty crown prince to a concubine and sent him to the Yongning Palace. He would never be able to take a single step in this life. How cruel would that be! Although Xuanyuan Qingtian was unwilling in his heart, he knew in his heart that at this moment, everything had been settled, and there was no hope for him to pull it off even if he wanted to. " "Hahahaha!" Xuanyuan Qingtian laughed foolishly.

In the Hongfu Building.

"Looks like we really overestimated that crown prince. If we knew earlier that relying on him would be useless, we never would have thought that it would be so useless."

"Forget about it, forget about it. Fortunately, we haven't acted yet. Otherwise, we would be the ones to be unlucky." The black clothed man said, "It looks like we have really underestimated that His Majesty the Battle-King!" The man in black said with a cold smile.

With the arrival of the Rites of Heavenly Worship, all the preparations for the sacrifice were being carried out like a raging fire.

Rites of Heavenly Worship still had five days. According to the customs, the prince had to be arranged to visit the sacrificial hall to inspect the livestock prepared to be slaughtered during the sacrificial ceremony. However, Xuanyuan Feng was still young, there were many things that he couldn't do. Xuanyuan Zhan was worried about him being alone, so she accompanied him.

"Third Brother, you were so busy, and yet you came to accompany me. Thank you so much, these three." Xuanyuan Feng said.

"How can this be troubling me? This is what third brother should do anyway." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Xuanyuan Zhan followed Xuanyuan Feng and his brother to check everything and return to report to Xuanyuan Mo.

"Reporting to royal father, this son and fourth brother have already gone to check. The livestock prepared for the slaughter at the time of the sacrifice was ready. Please rest assured royal father. "

"Mm, not bad." Xuanyuan Mo couldn't help but praise Xuanyuan Zhan in his heart. In the past, when he asked him about Xuanyuan Zhan, he never realized that his son had the talent to become an Overlord.

Three days before the sacrifice, the Emperor began to bathe in fasting. The previous two days Si Wen Yi wrote the best. The day before yesterday, Xuanyuan Zhan would slaughter all the carefully selected livestock that he had prepared in order to offer sacrifices to the heavens. After he had finished making the sacrifices, Xuanyuan Zhan would personally go and organize the sacrificial artifacts in the treasury; When they sat down to deal with this series of events, they felt extremely tired.

It was easy to get to the night before the sacrificial ceremony, and it was necessary to arrange the shrine tablets, offerings, and offerings under the leadership of the Taoist monk; the club was arranged for the band; and finally the Minister of Rites and the Assistant Minister for Rites would carry out a thorough examination.

Only after doing all these things did they finally prepare to sacrifice the heavens.

The Rites of Heavenly Worship began, and on that day, everyone had already prepared everything. Xuanyuan Mo donned his dragon robe and went up the altar.

The host shouted loudly, "Let the sacrifice begin, welcome the God of Heaven."

As soon as his voice fell, the Emperor entered the high tower from the southeast side of Zhao Huan Gate and took his place on the middle platform.

"Bye!" When the first movement of the music began, the Emperor went to the throne of the gods, knelt down before it and offered incense to it. Then he went to the ancestral tablets and offered incense to it and kowtowed to it. Returning to the throne, he performed three kowtows and nine kowtows to the Gods.

After finishing the grand ceremony to the gods, they still needed to pay their respects, and then they needed to be on the chopping block. Finally, they also needed to perform the first ceremony. Then Si Zhu knelt down and read the message. After reading it, he felt happy.

"Bow again." The host's voice rang out, and the emperor paid his three kowtows and nine kowtows before returning to the throne.

"I'll send you to the Emperor God, then pay my respects again."

The emperor once again performed another nine kowtows as the musical "Chapter of Peace" sounded.

At the same time, a group of selected palace maids, wearing white robes and wearing bamboo hats, were sent to the incinerator with offerings in their hands. The emperor was on his way and was playing the 'Chapter of Peace'.

The Rites of Heavenly Worship was finally completed.

"The sacrificial ceremony ends with the celebration of the heavens and the earth." The host's voice rang out again.

The audience was in a commotion. When the Rites of Heavenly Worship ended, everyone and the commoners were extremely happy. They cheered and danced in their hearts.

After the day of sacrifice, the emperor departed for the palace. The grand ceremony had ended. He left the joy of offering the heavens to his people.

After working busily for an entire day, the Rites of Heavenly Worship had finally come to an end. The civil and military officials of the imperial court were feeling extremely happy in their hearts.

The next day, in the royal study.

"This son greets royal father." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

"Battle son, come come come." Xuanyuan Mo said, "We have already prepared a royal decree, why don't you take a look?"

Xuanyuan Zhan was puzzled, but still reached out his hand to take the imperial edict from Xuanyuan Mo. Opening it to take a look, Xuanyuan Zhan was immediately startled.

"Father, this …"

"Zhan'er, royal father knows that he owes you and your son too much these past few years. royal father also hopes that he can do his best to compensate you in his lifetime, so Zhan'er." Xuanyuan Mo said.

"Father, I do not wish to become the crown prince. I cannot accept this." Xuanyuan Zhan said as he returned the imperial edict back to his hand.

"Why?" Xuanyuan Mo was puzzled, but then thought to himself, just now, he had crippled the crown prince, and now, he was creating a new crown prince, could it be that he was afraid that there was someone behind his back?

Zhan'er, you don't need to think too much. Royal father had thought it through carefully, and now that the crown prince has been abolished and Royal father's body is getting worse and worse, he really doesn't have enough power to control the imperial government.

"Father, this son does not wish to become some emperor. My only wish right now is to bring my wife and son into the life I want." Xuanyuan Zhan refused.

"Impudent!" "Cough, cough, cough." Xuanyuan Mo was enraged by Xuanyuan Zhan's words, "You are a dignified war king, how can you say something like that?"

Xuanyuan Mo said, "Ignoring the obligations you have to bear as a prince, as a King of War, for the great War God of My Xiao Country to actually want to lead such an ordinary life in the countryside, isn't this what the world is laughing at?"

"But since Feng Yu likes it, this official is willing." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

When he said that, Xuanyuan Mo was actually a little speechless. Sigh, this son of his was actually trapped in a woman's warmth. However, thinking about it carefully, it was still understandable. Although she didn't really love her son too much, but she knew a bit about his temperament. His son was good everywhere, but he wouldn't easily change things that he had already decided on.

"If you want to go out and live the life you've wanted to live for two years, it's not impossible. It's just that our imperial edict has already been prepared. It's impossible for you to change it."

"But Imperial Father, you can make Ah Feng your Crown Prince." Xuanyuan Zhan suggested. He did not have only one son, so even if he was unwilling to become Crown Prince, there was still someone else that was suitable for him, Ah Feng.

"You can't!" Xuanyuan Mo refused.

"Feng Er is still young, and there are many things he might not be able to hold on to. In short, I will not change the imperial edict. The imperial edict will come out, and the crown prince will definitely be you." Xuanyuan Mo said, not giving Xuanyuan Zhan the chance to reject.

"If you want to bring along Feng Yu and live a normal life with Dou Dou, we won't stop you. You can bring them to live the life you want to live, but I will make sure that you succeed the throne in a hundred years." Xuanyuan Mo said. If not, even if you were unwilling, I would lock you up in this palace. I can't just casually take the fate of the My Xiao Country as a joke. If I say that you are the crown prince, then you are the crown prince. "

In his heart, Xuanyuan Zhan actually understood that his father had always been someone who kept his word. Furthermore, if he really did not agree, perhaps his royal father would really imprison him within the Imperial Palace and not allow him to leave with Feng Yu. Xuanyuan Zhan had no choice but to agree.

"Since royal father has already said so, does this son have any room to refuse?" Xuanyuan Zhan said with a hint of displeasure.

"That's good, hahaha." Xuanyuan Mo said.

Xuanyuan Zhan was thinking that no matter what, it would be possible for him to leave this place and bring Feng Yu to live the life that she wanted to live. Although it wouldn't be for long, he was still satisfied in his heart. A huge boulder had fallen from Xuanyuan Mo's heart.

Xuanyuan Mo clearly felt that he had not been able to handle the matters of the imperial court for the past few days. Ever since he was angered by the incident with Xuanyuan Zhan, his body had not been in a good condition. Although he was in his prime, as the emperor of the Xiao Kingdom, he had already done so many wrong things because of Xuanyuan Qingtian. It was time to prepare for the future of the Xiao Kingdom. He could not use the interests of the citizens of Xiao Kingdom as a wager.
