Empress Dowager Empress Dowager

Chapter 235
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is the most solemn sacrifice ceremony of Dayong. On this day, all the people in the upper capital came out. One of the reasons was to stand at the nearest position to the altar so that the national teacher could worship the heavens and invite the gods Time, so that the gods can see them, so that the bad luck on the body can be exchanged for wealth, so as to obtain great wealth in the future.On the other hand, I want to take a look at the demeanor of this female national teacher.

Although many people knew that this national teacher was the eldest lady of the General's Mansion, it was only the Miss General's Mansion who made a stunning appearance on the streets of Shangjing when she returned to Shangjing.

However, even those who knew Huo Mingzhu wanted to see what Huo Mingzhu, who became a national teacher, looked like.

Therefore, the sea of ​​people gathered in front of the altar can be imagined.

Huo Mingzhu was carried over in a sedan chair for eight people, dressed in luxurious clothes, sitting in the sedan chair for eight people, her delicate face was full of seriousness at the moment, even if she heard someone calling her name in the crowd, her eyebrows were still Did not lift it.

The eight-person sedan chair stopped under the altar, and Huo Mingzhu got out of the sedan chair with the help of the Taoist nun.

The altar was quite huge, and the petite Huo Mingzhu stood in front of the altar, looking very weak. Many people couldn't help wondering whether Huo Mingzhu could do it.

At this time, the emperor's dragon chariot also slowly came towards this side, Huo Mingzhu lowered his head, waiting for the emperor's dragon chariot.

When the emperor got off the dragon chariot and slowly walked up to the center of the altar, Huo Mingzhu knelt down towards the emperor's place. At this time, all the people, including those who were still walking on the street, were towards the altar Kneel down in the direction.

The emperor read out a sacrificial oration, expressing his gratitude to the heavens, feeling the previous blessings, begging for the next good weather, the country and the people, and then he respectfully worshiped the heavens three times.

Then, the emperor stepped back, and then, it was Huo Mingzhu's business.

She first had to chant a long scripture on the altar, and then danced a formation on the altar. These are the basics of Taoism. For Huo Mingzhu, it is not difficult, as long as she has physical strength.

Huo Mingzhu was already practicing martial arts, and her lightness kung fu is even more superb, it is difficult to meet an opponent, this small formation is not difficult for her.

Moreover, Huo Mingzhu's voice is delicate and emerald, which makes people feel comfortable listening to her. Her singing is different from the previous Taoist monks. Either it is as low as a duck's quack, or it is as thin as a eunuch's voice. Huo Mingzhu's voice , It actually made everyone mesmerized.

The emperor was very satisfied, and felt that it was the most correct choice for Huo Mingzhu to become the national teacher.

When he didn't get the elixir made by Huo Mingzhu, he always felt short of breath, walking and talking seemed to be laborious, let alone favoring his concubine, now, he seems to have returned to his youthful appearance, how can this not make the emperor feel sorry for him? Huo Mingzhu looked more and more pleasing to the eye.

Concentrating on Huo Mingzhu's every move, and Lin Yunxi, he looked in surprise at the Huo Mingzhu whom he had grown up with since he was a child. He had always known that Huo Mingzhu was glamorous and charming, especially when he grew up. It attracted all his eyes, but Huo Mingzhu, who was too holy to look directly at now, was not familiar to him.

Huo Mingzhu like this made him feel extremely far away, but he never thought of giving up.

Mrs. Lin's words appeared in her mind. Huo Mingzhu refused Mrs. Lin's request to let her marry her. This made Lin Yunxi feel hurt, but it was not surprising. She was so good, how could she deserve it? In fact, I am just a warrior.

If he can protect her, she doesn't need to leave the border town and return to Shangjing, Lin Yunxi secretly thought, in the future, he will silently guard her and protect her from any harm, that's all.

Huo Huaiyu and Lin Ruyi, who were standing in the crowd, hated Huo Mingzhu so much.

The woman standing on the high platform with infinite scenery is a thorn in their hearts. If the thorn does not appear usually, they will not remind them of the existence of the thorn. However, the place where the thorn appears is more and more confusing They couldn't ignore it, it was as if the thorn was getting deeper and deeper.

Especially Huo Huaiyu, even though she and Baili Zonglu are in a hot fight at the moment, she always feels like there is a layer of separation between Baili Zonglu and Baili Zonglu. Baili Zonglu never looks at her like Huo Mingzhu.

Especially just now, Baili Zonglu finally went to the General's Mansion to find her, and in order to show her virtuousness, she offered to give Baili Zonglu a shoulder squeeze, and she was also giving him a shoulder squeeze. The guard beside him reminded, When the memorial ceremony began, he left without saying a word and left her.

She pulled Lin Ruyi out, and was crowded by so many people, just to watch that woman sing and dance on the stage, Huo Huaiyu felt sick to death, and said angrily, "Mother, don't watch, Go back, what's there to see."

Lin Ruyi didn't intend to come out at first, but was dragged out by Huo Huaiyu. She was still thinking about seeing if she could see Huo Zhengde. Thinking of Huo Zhengde, the hatred in Lin Ruyi's heart also quickly surged.

It's the hatred for Yu Tong. In the past, she would never have imagined that one day, Huo Zhengde would not enter her room for more than half a month, either in the study, or with that bitch Yu Tong. Every time, she Knowing that Huo Zhengde was resting in the study, if he wanted to go to look for him, he was stopped at the door, and was told that the master had already fallen asleep.

Now, if she wanted to see Huo Zhengde, she had to rely on an unexpected encounter outside.

Thinking of this, Lin Ruyi was so angry that she wanted to rush to the top of the altar, pull that woman down, and cut her into pieces. It was that woman who provoked that little bitch Yu Tong!

The culprit of everything is Huo Mingzhu.

Therefore, when Huo Huaiyu said this, Lin Ruyi said: "What's the rush, let's see."

As soon as the voice fell, a commotion was heard, starting from the crowd, and then a group of people rushed towards the altar. The guards around the emperor directly drew their swords to protect the emperor, and then shouted: "Guards, there is assassin."

Huo Mingzhu's chanting was forced to interrupt, but a large wave of mobs rushed up, they scattered, a small part rushed towards the emperor, and most of them rushed towards Huo Mingzhu.

This ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was interrupted just like that.

Huo Huaiyu stared at the accident with wide eyes, and the joy in his heart began to surge up: "Mother, look, look, haha, it's really happy. Huo Mingzhu couldn't be so happy in the first place. Once she became a national teacher, Some people are causing trouble, it seems that Huo Mingzhu will not be allowed to be the national teacher this day."

"Yu'er, don't talk nonsense." Lin Ruyi hurriedly stopped Huo Huaiyu, who was outspoken. Huo Zhengde was very happy that Huo Mingzhu became the national teacher, which was very useful for consolidating his official position. Said, Huo Huaiyu might lose Huo Zhengde's favor.

Huo Huaiyu asked Lin Ruyi to cover her mouth, and stared at Lin Ruyi with wide eyes, blaming her for stopping her. She wanted to say that it would be best if these words reached the emperor's ears, and then Huo Mingzhu would be dismissed from the post of national teacher , and put her to death.

It can be said that if Lin Ruyi hadn't stopped Huo Huaiyu and made her yell so casually, whoever was executed might be the one to be executed.

Besides, when Huo Mingzhu saw a group of mobs rushing up at the moment, she stood in the altar domineeringly, looked at the group of people without fear, and said, "Bold madman, dare to disturb the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."

I don't know if it's because Huo Mingzhu's aura is too strong, the mob who rushed up stopped abruptly, stopped at a place very close to Huo Mingzhu, and looked at Huo Mingzhu.

Huo Mingzhu said again: "If you can put down the butcher knives, sincerely repent, before it's too late, you will be innocent if you turn around, go down from this altar, return to your home, and live the days to come, if not, the gods of heaven will not be guilty. will forgive you."

At this moment, Huo Mingzhu seemed to be the gods in the sky in her mouth, and that aura made the people who had been in chaos under the altar stop.

Not far away from the Zuixian Tower, the people who have been watching this side twitched their lips slightly and said, "I really didn't expect that."

"Master, let's forget it?" The man next to the handsome young man asked.

"Your skills are not enough, you don't know, can this money make ghosts grind? Huo Mingzhu's momentum is indeed very strong, but she is nothing in front of the mob who only recognizes money." The young man in Huafu smiled. road.

"But……."

"Just look at it." Mr. Huafu interrupted the follower.

As if to confirm the words of the handsome young man, the group of mob stopped by Huo Mingzhu did not know who started it, and shouted: "Jitian, you are a fake Taoist priest, how can a woman be a Taoist priest, want you Come to sacrifice to the sky, that is to put our lives on the line, brothers, come on, drive this demon girl down."

They took other people's money and wanted to mess up this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. Therefore, the identity of Huo Mingzhu's woman was the best cover.

Huo Mingzhu was guessing who these people belonged to.

Bailizong law?It's impossible, he didn't want to spend so much energy, disturbing this ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, it would not be good for him.If Baili Zonglu wants her life, it is impossible for the mob to do it. If she wants to make such a move and lose her position as a national teacher, that is also impossible. Law is the best at guessing people's hearts. How could he not know how important she is in the emperor's heart at the moment? At the beginning, he wanted Taoist Baimei to be used by him and become a national teacher.

The Luo family?Among the Empress Dowager's forces, the Luo family's ability should not be underestimated, and she was the last thing she wanted to become the empress dowager, because of Baili Jingqi, if this matter was done by the Luo family, it would be justified.

But it's not right, the Luo family belongs to the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager loves Baili Jingqi, this sacrifice to the heaven is a major matter related to the community, the Empress Dowager will not be sloppy, therefore, it will not be them.

As for Lin Ruyi, she didn't have such a great ability. After thinking about it, Huo Mingzhu couldn't think of a reasonable person, so she put this aside in advance. Right now, what she needs to do is to get rid of these people.

Immediately, he shouted to the crowd: "The ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens was originally to seek the grace of the gods for the people of Dayong, and to pray for the prosperity of the country and the people in the coming year. However, you are such stupid people, but you have disturbed this sacrifice for life. Don't be afraid to let this altar be stained with your blood, so as to plead guilty to the gods."

After finishing speaking, Huo Mingzhu used her palm as a weapon and rushed into the mob with an extremely fierce killing move.

At this moment, the emperor shouted under heavy protection: "Protect the national teacher."

As soon as the words fell, he heard wailing from the altar, and then people rolled down from the altar one by one. The emperor followed the people who rolled down to look at the altar, and saw the graceful Huo Mingzhu, who was not afraid of the mob, had a beautiful skill in knocking down the mob one by one from the altar.
