Chapter 541 Bloody Suppression (1)
Ouyang Jin took a deep breath, summoned up his courage, and said loudly: "Just now I saw..."

"Pfft!" A bloody light suddenly spurted out, and under the reflection of the raging fire, it was a little strangely red.Ouyang Jin only uttered five words, and then his body fell to the ground with a bang.

The two people who were kneeling not far from Ouyang Jin were poured with blood, and then they came back to their senses, seeing a head that rolled to the ground so familiar, and their staring eyes were full of astonishment...

Everyone was stunned, they all forgot to kowtow to the god, but stared in shock at Prince Yang Yan who was holding the sword of the Son of Heaven, the tip of which was still dripping blood.At this moment, everyone could feel a cold murderous aura from Yang Yan.

The guilty person couldn't help trembling all over.

Yang Yan put his sword back into its sheath, without even looking at Ouyang Jin's corpse, his murderous eyes only glanced lightly at King An, who was still in shock, and then ordered coldly: "Come here, you will disturb Sacrificing to the heaven ceremonies, sending the corpses of the sinners who offended the gods to the gods to make amends!"

The guard in charge of guarding not far away immediately came forward, lifted Ouyang Jin's body and threw it into the raging fire.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Is this the real His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
People who heard the voice or had doubts immediately told themselves: I didn't hear anything, I didn't see anything, I don't know anything...

An Wang secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, in the weather of the first month, cold sweat broke out on his head.It's not that he didn't want to stand up and accuse Yang Yan, but he didn't dare.

Although he was still a little confident that the third child would not dare to kill him outright, but if he miscalculated and the third child became angry and killed himself with the Tianzi sword without saying a word, wouldn't he die too unjustly?

Finally, Master Qin, the Qin Tianjian, announced the end of the ceremony under Yang Yan's signal. Prince Yang Yan stood up first, his cold eyes swept over everyone kneeling below, and his murderous voice resounded through all the officials. ear.

"Anyone who intends to sabotage the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will be killed without mercy! I hope everyone will take this as a warning and do it for themselves!" After speaking, he led all the officials down the altar.

Without Yang Yan's confession, Dugu Kai controlled all possible suspects.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is so serious, the sacrificial vessels used are all kept by special personnel, and they have to go through several inspections before use, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tianjian personally completed the arrangement of the altar when they were sent up.

Those who want to tamper with the sacrificial vessels for offering sacrifices to heaven can only be the small officials who take care of the sacrificial offerings, as well as the head of the Ministry of Rites and officials of the Qin Tianjian who assist in arranging the altar.And for a ceremony like this, which person is responsible for which item is registered in the register, and it can be easily found out.

It was impossible for the other ministers participating in the ceremony to do it themselves. Yang Yan took them back to Chang'an generously, without saying anything along the way, and did not call his people to discuss countermeasures, as if everything went well in today's ceremony. .

And those ministers also looked at me and you, and wanted to say something, but they didn't dare to speak, and quietly got into their own carriages.

Ouyang Jin's blood did scare them earlier.No one could have imagined that when something like this happened, the crown prince would kill people without hesitation and quickly control the situation.

Yang Yan sat on the emperor's imperial chariot, with a gloomy and indifferent expression.Almost without thinking about it, he can figure out whose handwriting it is.He actually got involved in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. It seems that Wang An really jumped the wall and ignored everything?
After returning to the palace, Yang Yan didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he immediately went to see the emperor.

The emperor had already received news that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had killed Ouyang Jin, the priest of the Ministry of Rites, on the altar, and threw his body into the fire of worshiping heaven and burned it.

The emperor was shocked and did not know what had happened.

This is the first time Yang Yan has shown his decisive side.

Since returning to Beijing, he has shown his generous and benevolent side in front of all the officials, making the emperor almost forget that this son really grew up on the battlefield.Sometimes on the battlefield, he personally killed more than a hundred enemies in one battle. In the past ten years, he has killed no less than a thousand people with his own hands.

Such a prince, how could anyone think that he is really just generous and benevolent?
But, what did Ouyang Jin do?Provoking the third child to kill in public?
"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince seeks an audience!"

"pass--"

Yang Yan strode in, knelt down three steps away from the emperor, and said, "Father, my son is here to plead guilty!"

"What's going on?" The emperor said with a serious face, "You are always generous and kind, and you can bear it. You actually beheaded Ouyang Jin in public on the altar. What did he do?"

"Father, the sinful minister Ouyang Jin disrupted the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, offended the gods, and condemned the gods for fear of the gods. My son will kill him in public and apologize to the gods!" Yang Yan seemed to answer the emperor's words, but he didn't say anything clearly .

The emperor carefully looked at Yang Yan's face, and Yang Yan glanced at the servants and maids in the palace, but did not speak.

The emperor understood, raised his hand and waved it lightly, and Director Hua En immediately took him out knowingly.

When there was no one else in the hall except the hidden guards, Yang Yancai whispered: "Father, just before my son lit the fire, the white jade incense burner with two dragons dancing together on the altar suddenly shattered..."

"What?" The emperor was shocked, and immediately got up and walked over, pulled Yang Yan up and asked, "What happened during the sacrifice to heaven?"

Yang Yan calmly recounted what happened during the heaven sacrifice.

Knowing that something happened in the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, the emperor's first thought was that the gods were dissatisfied with the prince's sacrifice to heaven?But then he vetoed the idea himself.His prince is good in everything, so why is the god dissatisfied?The emperor was supposed to go to the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven. He was not in good health before, so he asked the prince to go instead of him. It is not unheard of in the past dynasties. How could the gods be dissatisfied?
For thousands of years, the countless emperors who stepped on the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood have not seen the wrath of the gods. His prince is generous and kind, so how could he provoke the wrath of the gods?Moreover, after watching Piao Miao's journey, the emperor, who was already doubtful about the existence of the gods, inevitably had a big question mark in his heart.
