With the help of the maid, Ouyang Shuo put on the crown for the second time, put on the crown, wore the Chixiao Sword on the left side of his waist, and hung the Qilin Golden Seal on the right side, with an extraordinary bearing.
After dressing, he walked out of the Wuji Palace, walked through the pavilions, and walked all the way to the door.
At the main entrance, a special frame for the prince is ready. Pulling the cart were five elite-level green worm horses, with cyan hair and no trace of variegation, which was the standard princely frame.
The whole frame is not sealed, but open, and only on the top, a canopy is set. Ouyang Shuo boarded the frame and headed towards the Temple of Heaven, along the way, the red carpet was paved, and the Shenwu guard stood guard.
Under the blue sky, the marble-paved Temple of Heaven is endless, empty and far away.
The Temple of Heaven is guarded by the Divine Guard, with five steps and one post, and three steps and one sentry. This Shenwu Guard detachment, with only two hundred people, was the core force guarding Ouyang Shuo, and did not go out with the army.
The Shenwu guards looked solemn, and the bright red Shenwu cloaks were waving in the wind.
On the Temple of Heaven Square, in front of the Yellow Emperor's Temple, the civil and military ministers of the Southern Xinjiang Protectorate, except for Bai Qi and others who were fighting outside, all arrived, and stood neatly on the left side of the square according to their ranks.
Ge Lao Xiao He stood at the front of the team.
Standing next to Xiao He was the principal of the Army Lecture Hall, the soldier saint Sun Wu.
They were followed by the four directors, and then by Zhang Yi, the secretary of Honglu Temple, Zang Wenzhong, the commander of Shanhai, and Wei Ran, the county guard of Lianzhou. Finally, there are the directors and several prefects of Lianzhou County.
The deans of the Southwest University Hall, the chiefs of various sections of the Army Lecture Hall and others were also invited to attend the ceremony. In addition, there are more than 100 student representatives from the two universities.
All the students wore uniform uniforms, which was spectacular.
On the right side of the square, there are naturally hundreds of schools.
Jiang Shang, the master of the Hundred Schools, is also the chief priest this time, standing at the front of the team.
It was followed by Confucius, Laozi, Mozi and Han Feizi, and then Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, LΓΌ Buwei, Shendao, Huishi, Fu Yan and Su Qin.
Finally, there are the representatives of other schools.
In addition, all the scholars who lived in Juxian Building were invited to attend.
This is also the first time that the sons of a hundred schools of thought have gathered together.
Such a grand occasion is rare in 10,000 years.
On both sides of the Yellow Emperor's Temple, there are more than 100 ritual officials and music officials specially trained by the Department of Culture and Education. The ceremonial officer is responsible for setting up the festival scene, and the musician is responsible for playing special music during the festival.
There were more than 400 people standing in the square of Nuoda, but it did not seem crowded at all.
The teams are orderly and hierarchical.
Although the ceremony of worshipping the heavens has not yet begun, there is no one in the square who is noisy and extremely solemn.
There is no doubt that this ceremony will be unprecedented. Ouyang Shuo wanted to take this opportunity to show the strength and heritage of Shanhai City to the hundreds of schools.
The frame stopped at the designated position, and Ouyang Shuo slowly stepped off the frame.
Under the sunshine, Ouyang Shuo, who walked like a tiger, became taller and taller, majestic like a mountain, and magnanimous like a sea.
The secretary, Lang Bai Nanpu, shouted loudly:
"Lord of Shanhai City, the capital of Southern Xinjiang is protected, and the Marquis of Lianzhou has arrived!"
The protector of southern Xinjiang canonized by the imperial court is only an official position. For Ouyang Shuo, the title of Marquis of Lianzhou is the most weighty title, and it is also one of the symbols of his status as a prince.
"Greetings to the Prince!"
Xiao He led hundreds of officials to greet him and bowed.
"Welcome to the Marquis of Lianzhou!"
Jiang Shang led the sons of the hundred families, and he also bowed down.
On the huge square, Ouyang Shuo was the only one standing, looking down on all beings.
This situation and this scene really make people's blood boil.
Seeing Confucius and others saluting him, Ouyang Shuo's heart rose with an uncontrollable sense of pride.
In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes of the hundred schools also had to salute the marquis respectfully. Therefore, on this occasion, Ouyang Shuo's acceptance of the worship of the sons of a hundred schools is not overstepping.
The taste of power is really intoxicating.
Even if the road ahead is full of thorns and is called a lonely widow, Ouyang Shuo has no regrets.
His mentality has been quietly changing.
A true lord is quietly rising in the wilderness. In the future, Ouyang Shuo will be even more ruthless, exert his ambitions with all his might, and continue to climb to the pinnacle of power, never stopping.
In this life, I entrust the hegemony and have no regrets.
Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "Zhuqing is exempt!" β
"Xie Junhou!"
"Xie Lian Zhou Hou!"
Ouyang Shuo, under the guidance of the ceremonial official, was sitting in front of the official seat.
Seeing this, praise Xiao He sang: "Each in its place, the sacrifice begins." β
"Welcome Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor."
As soon as the words ended, the musicians began to play elegant music, and the drums rang out in unison.
The melodious music passed through the Temple of Heaven, through the walls of the royal city, and spread throughout the mountain and sea city.
The common people in the city spontaneously prayed at home and sacrificed to Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor. Suddenly, the power of invisible incense converged on the statue of the Yellow Emperor in the Yellow Emperor Temple.
The main priest Jiang Shangchang approached, arched his hand to the sky and said: "The ancestor Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor is above, respectfully invite the ancestors to return!" β
Xiao He sang: "Lay the coin." β
Next, there is a complicated set of sacrificial rituals.
The whole set of rituals is unusually strict, and there is not a trace of error.
Whether it is Confucius or Lao Tzu, they are extremely proficient in etiquette and cannot tolerate the slightest difference.
After the three offerings, Xiao He sang: "Read the wishes." β
Jiang Shang faced the throne of the Yellow Emperor, knelt on the reading blessing seat, and recited the blessing.
"On the 16th day of August in the second year of Vigaia, the age was in Jiashen, and the sun was in the sky, and the wind was harmonious, and the sky was bright and clear. The people of Shanhai City and the sons of hundreds of families gathered at the Yellow Emperor Temple in Shanhai City, and they would like to express their sincerity with Yale Qingli. Paying tribute to the first ancestor of our humanities, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, said:
He He Wuzu, merit He Long.
Build a palace and bless my people. Arboriculture grains, help my people. Serve cattle and horses, and pass through the mountain. Fa Qiankun set up the five elements with correct clothes and book deeds.
The princes of Binfu and Kyushu are unified. Widely instructed, the same sect from all over the world. Create a great cause for thousands of years, and enlighten the civilization of eternity. Lay the foundation of China, and all ethnic groups are prosperous. Only strength is dedication, only virtue is action. Yide and benevolence, praised from generation to generation.
Towering China, the dragon vein will be inherited forever.
Shenzhou is continuous, the sun rises and the moon is constant.
The wilderness is covered with thorns, and a hundred schools of thought are singing in unison.
Comfort the ancestors and give good luck forever. The sacrifice is completed, and Fu Wei is still feasting! β
After the congratulations, Xiao He sang: "Drink the blessing and receive the gloss."
It was another complicated set of sacrificial rituals.
In the end, Xiao He sang: "The ancestor of Xuanyuan has gone away, and the sacrifice is complete!" "Happy.
At this point, the entire ceremony of worshipping the heavens was officially completed.
At this moment of completion, the statue of the Yellow Emperor in the Yellow Emperor Temple suddenly burst out with golden light. The light is full of light, directly through the Yellow Emperor's Temple, spreading to the entire Shanhai City.
Seeing this scene, whether it was the sons of the hundred families or the people in the city, they all cried with joy.
Miracles too!
"The Ancestor has appeared!"
The corners of Ouyang Shuo's mouth showed a hint of a smile.
The manifestation of the Yellow Emperor is enough to prove that Ouyang Shuo's level of governance of the territory is recognized by the Yellow Emperor. As a lord, Ouyang Shuo's virtue is also recognized.
Only in the world of great governance can there be auspiciousness.
The gazes of Confucius and the others looking at Ouyang Shuo also changed. The status of Lianzhou Hou in their hearts has been greatly improved.
Confucius, in particular, was even more smiling.
Originally, Confucius thought that the Marquis of Lianzhou would reuse Wei Ying, and there would be many complaints in the territory, where did he think that it would be such a peaceful scene.
At the same time, a system prompt sound sounded in Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, the ancestor Xiangrui descended on Shanhai City, improving the people's hearts by 2 points, and instantly improving the quality of the people in the city by 25%, congratulations to the player!"
Don't look at the improvement of the people's heart, there are only 2 points, you must know that the original people's heart of Shanhai City is 92 points, which is close to the full value, and every point of improvement is precious.
Before it was over, another system prompt was followed.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player for having no clothes, the Yellow Emperor Temple is sacrificed by the sons of a hundred schools, and the attributes have been greatly improved, please check it for yourself."
[Name]: Yellow Emperor Temple
[Type]: Hidden building
[Function]: Improve the satisfaction of residents by 50% and increase the popularity of the territory by 20%
[Characteristics]: Ancestral blessing (improve the physical fitness of the territory residents by 55%), and the culture is prosperous (improve the cultural quality of the territory residents by 30%)
[Evaluation]: The Yellow Emperor Ancestral Hall is known as the "first ancestral hall in the world", and it is the main place in southern China to worship Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, the ancestor of the Chinese nation.
After the sacrifice, the Yellow Emperor Temple not only added a new feature, but also improved the original attributes.
Ouyang Shuo didn't expect that there would be this unexpected joy.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shuo set his eyes on the Confucian Temple and the Martial Temple on both sides of the Yellow Emperor's Temple. Not for anything else, just because of the literary saint Confucius and the martial saint Jiang Shang, gathered here.
Such a scenario is also a once-in-a-lifetime scenario.
Except for Shanhai City, there is no other territory that can have such an ungodly encounter.
After worshipping the Yellow Emperor, the next step should be to move to the Southwest University Hall for the most exciting contention.
Ouyang Shuo hurriedly left Confucius and Jiang Shang and asked them to rewrite the plaques in the Temple of Literature and the Temple of Wu respectively to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime event.
When the two heard this, they did not refuse.
Of course, if there were no previous apparitions, Confucius would not have necessarily agreed. You must know that Confucius was a humble person and would not easily leave ink treasures.
Ouyang Shuo was secretly happy in his heart when he got the ink treasures of the two saints, and immediately asked Xu Shuda, the director of culture and education, to immediately remake the plaques according to the ink treasures of the two and replace them in time.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to see how the two temples would change.
Next, Ouyang Shuocai led the civil and military ministers to move to the Southwest University Hall.
At this time, the hundred pulpits were full. The people who sat were mainly the scholars of Juxian Road.
Ouyang Shuo sat in the front row of the hall, ready to be a spectator quietly.
On the pulpit, there are only three people, namely Jiang Shang, Confucian Confucius and Legalist Han Feizi.
The dispute between Confucianism and law has entered the second stage.
The strange thing is that neither Confucius nor Han Feizi has a competitive heart on their faces. Ouyang Shuo had a hunch that this controversy might be different. (To be continued.) )
