Daqin: Assist Zulong at the beginning and become a public enemy

Chapter 394 The Grand Ceremony Begins

Chapter 396 The Grand Ceremony Begins

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Li Si, the leader of the civil servants of the Qin Dynasty, and King Mengtian and Ben, the leader of the military generals, were both absent, so no one was elected to the top position. The clan was headed by Zong Zheng Yingteng. The ministers of the Qin Dynasty, the nobles of various aristocratic families in Guanzhong, and the children of the clan all shouted loudly.

"Congratulations to His Majesty the Emperor!"

Following the chanting of the most prominent group of people in Daqin, the tide-like shouts came from nearly a million people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers surrounding the altar at the same time.

The huge sound instantly reached the sky.

Just at this moment, a bright ray of sunlight fell on the eastern horizon.In a short while, the bright sunshine quickly crossed the distance of countless miles, across the mountains, across the mountains and seas, across the plains and lakes, and landed around the altar.

Not long after, a round of red sun has revealed half of the round face.

Ying Zheng can see the sun every day.

However, this time the sunrise made him feel the magnificence of the mountains and rivers for the first time.

The sun rises, indicating that today must be another sunny day like never before.

"Be flat!"

Ying Zheng looked at the red sun that had completely jumped out of the horizon, swaying the soft light to his heart's content, and said in a deep voice.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

A group of thousands of Daqin's top people who bowed in front of the car said in unison.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

This is the countless people and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty who worshiped around Liangshan.

Ying Zheng only said these three words from beginning to end, and then sat on the bronze chariot without saying a word.

In a radius of more than ten miles around the entire altar, countless figures stood upright, but it was silent.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of Chen Shizheng.

There were still countless people rushing towards the altar, but everyone consciously did not make any noise.After arriving around, under the command of the soldiers of the Qin army who maintained order, they began to wait quietly.

Time is fast and fast, and time is slow.

For the countless people gathered around the altar, the days felt like years.For Yingzheng and the court ministers who are concerned about the Great Qin, they hope that Chenshi will be one year away, or even longer.

However, after all, time has been moving forward, not backward, and it is impossible to stop at this moment.

In this world, nothing but death can bring people to a halt.

By Ying Zheng's side, Zheng Lun kept an eye on the time.

There is still a quarter of an hour, and it will be Chen Shi, he reminded in a low voice.

Ying Zheng straightened the Tianping crown on his head, then slowly got up with Tian Wenjian on his waist, and stepped out of the bronze cart.

The emperor's car will always be the center of attention at any time, needless to say when the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is about to be held.

As soon as the emperor moved, there was a commotion among the people who were watching from a distance. Some people unconsciously wanted to take a few steps forward, but they were stopped by the soldiers of the Qin army who were maintaining order after taking two steps.

The commotion only lasted for a moment, and then calmed down again.

Ying Zheng took the lead, followed by Li Si and Meng Tian, ​​who were separated on the left and right. The Chinese, civil and military ministers of the Great Qin Dynasty lined up behind Hu Hai in two columns!
In front of Ying Zheng and Da Qin Wenwu, there were dozens of palace maids carrying a large number of sacrifices.There are six animals among them: whole cattle, whole horses, whole sheep, whole chickens, whole ducks, and whole fish.All kinds of cooked millet, silk, silk and other items.

The sacrifices went first, and Ying Zheng led two rows of civil and military officials to follow slowly.

The stone path is not very wide, and it is just big enough for four people to walk side by side.Therefore, the team was stretched very long, which was particularly eye-catching under the gradually rising sun.

Although neither the maids carrying the sacrifices nor the civil and military officials led by Ying Zheng walked very fast, the stone path, which was no more than two hundred steps long, was completed in just a moment.

Dozens of court ladies placed the sacrifices in order on the altar under the leadership of the ceremony officer, and then quietly retreated from the altar.

The huge altar with a height of three feet and six feet and made entirely of white jade stands majestically on the horizon, as if it can reach the sky.A Zhang-wide red felt spanned a distance of more than ten Zhang, from the foot of Huhai to the altar, and the five-color flags fluttered in the wind on the top of the mountain.

The civil and military officials behind Yingzheng were automatically divided into two groups and lined up neatly on both sides of the altar.

Huang Zhong and Da Lu played solemn and solemn music for offering sacrifices to heaven.

Ying Zheng finally stepped onto the red felt, onto the altar, and began to climb the stairs.

The altar of offering sacrifices to the sky towers high in the sky, even if it is more than ten miles away, people at the bottom of the mountain can see it clearly.Not to mention, today's weather seems to be exceptionally good, and the sun seems to be exceptionally bright.

The sound of Huang Zhong and Da Lu sounded from the altar, telling everyone that the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had begun, and everyone quietly looked at the little fire point that seemed to be ascending to the sky.

The altar is three feet six feet high, and there are only more than twenty steps.In just a few moments, Ying Zheng had already climbed to the top of the altar.

In the middle of the top of the one-foot-square altar is a huge bronze table, on which are placed six plates of fruit and vegetable sacrifices, and in the center of the six plates of sacrifices is a roll of blue bamboo slips.

All the things needed to worship the heavens were arranged by Yingteng, and before Yingzheng came to the Liang altar, Yingteng had already told Yingzheng all the etiquettes and sacrificial words that needed attention.
Therefore, Ying Zheng knew very well what was written on the bamboo slip.

What was written on the bamboo slips was the sacrificial speech that had to be recited by Ying Zheng, the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, to tell the heavens this time.

It was not the first day for Ying Zheng to offer sacrifices to heaven, so he was still very clear about these routines.Fortunately, the sacrificial speech was not long, and it was only a few words.

The ceremonial officer next to him brought a copper basin, waited for Yingzheng to clean his hands, sprinkled musk on Yingzheng's body, helped Yingzheng tidy up his appearance, and other etiquette that must be performed before reciting the sacrificial words.

When all the etiquette is over, the time is just right.

Huang Zhong Dalu's sacrifice to heaven and music ended at the right time.

"The auspicious time has come. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven begins."

More than a dozen ceremony officials standing on both sides of the altar shouted in unison as loud as they could.

This shout.It spread far away on the top of Liangshan.

Following this chant, starting from around the altar, the officials of Great Qin took the lead in kneeling on the ground.Immediately afterwards, the Qin soldiers standing on both sides knelt down on one knee.

Then go down.

The children of the surrounding clan and many noble children of the Guanzhong family also threw their bodies on the ground and knelt on the ground with their heads facing the top of Liangshan. In less than a moment, more than one million people and soldiers of the Great Qin Dynasty around Xianyang knelt down on the ground.

Although Ying Zheng, who was standing on a high altar, could not see what was going on behind him.But Ying Zheng, who was facing him, could see clearly.In the direction facing him, countless densely packed black shadows knelt down devoutly on the ground.

Without looking behind him, Ying Zheng also knew that he seemed to be the only one left standing around the altar in this world.

All the people were devoutly accompanying His Majesty the Emperor to pray to heaven.

Pray for God to bless Daqin, pray for good weather, and pray for the prosperity of the country and the people.
