I have an altar of luck

Taoist Tianxu smiled lightly.

The threesome turned into a foursome. The figures of several people were in a daze. They walked among the crowd, but no one could notice them. But suddenly, as the convoy was driving, Chen Yuan frowned and looked over.

……

Since early in the morning, Jingtai's princes and daughters, and the Sima family's clan children have all been mobilizing, and Pingyang, who is the eldest princess, is naturally no exception.

Her eyes were always calm, and following the instructions of the elders of the Sima clan to prepare, she changed into a grand long dress and got on the sedan chair with light makeup.

Her heart was not at peace all the time, but like a pine tree, she forcibly suppressed all her thoughts and sat alone in the sedan chair.

In front of it are the carriage frames of the prince and concubines.

She didn't stop when she passed by Zhang's mansion, and she didn't stop when she passed by Marquis of Wu'an's mansion, but at this moment, she seemed to have some perception in her heart.

He even raised the curtain on the sedan chair, and then saw the person mentioned by the emperor's younger brother and mother concubine abnormally.

Princess Pingyang and Chen Yuan looked at each other for a moment, their eyes were very calm, as if they were strangers, without any eye contact.

Putting down the curtain, Princess Pingyang closed her eyes.

……

……

The entire capital was mobilizing, concubines, princes, clansmen, and the imperial army. However, no one panicked about such a big move, because the elders of the clan had taught it long before.

They just went to watch the ceremony and shouted long live.

Other than that, no movement at all.

The imperial guards belonging to the emperor have already started to move. The imperial city is very empty at this moment. If there is a big disturbance, it is definitely an excellent time.

Unfortunately, no one showed up.

After all, who is going to show the trouble?

But what few people know is that the emperor did not actually go to Zijin Mountain, because... the time has not yet come.

On weekdays, time moves very quickly, and several hours often pass by inadvertently, but today, the day of offering sacrifices to heaven, in the eyes of many people, it passes so slowly.

"Slow? I feel the same as usual."

On the top of the Star Observation Building, Jingtai, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe and a nine-colored crown on his head, turned his eyes to Cao Zhengxian and said.

"It's the old slave who is anxious."

Cao Zhengxian bowed and smiled.

For some reason, he was actually quite relaxed today. The emperor, who had a gloomy face and a murderous aura around him before, was a little... kind.

No, kindness is not suitable for calling an emperor.

Tolerance may be more appropriate.

Since Jingtai ascended the throne, he has been serving by his side all the time. It can also be said that he has witnessed half of the emperor's life all the way.

It is more appropriate to call him the king of success.

After all, except in recent years, he has basically not made any big moves.

Ok……

To be exact, there is no big move on the bright side.

As for the backstory, Cao Zhengxian didn't dare to think too much, because it was already obvious.

"Where are Duke Gu and Duke Li?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have already waited at Zijin Mountain."

"Where's my uncle?"

"Also."

"What about the army?"

"The 30 elite imperial guards have marched to Zijin Mountain. This time, if anyone tries to make trouble, they will die without a place to die!"

"Hehe, that's not enough."

Jingtai never placed his hope on the imperial army.

It may be able to burst out with strength, but compared to many strong men in the rivers and lakes, it is still a bit far behind.

No need to think too much, how could the world's great immortal sects not come to join in the fun?

How could the Xiang family, Taoist Palace, and such existences not come to stop them, no...how could they not come and deal a heavy blow to the court, and then promote chaos in the world?

"Qing Cao."

"The old minister is here."

"Go too, and wait on Zijin Mountain."

"Yes, the old minister will leave."

After saying that, he slowly retreated.

After he left, Jingtai also looked at Dongfang's position, and said softly:

"The Bodhisattva thinks, how many strong men will take action this time?"

Beside Jingtai, a golden-haired monkey in cassock, with a benevolent expression on his face, slowly shook his head:

"I don't know."

"What does the Taoist think?"

On the other side, an old man in Taoist robes slowly appeared, and said with a faint smile:

"It should be a lot."

"Hehe, listening to the words of the Taoist priest is better than a word."

In this way, after another hour, the sun is already high at this moment, and Jingtai slowly got up:

"Let's go, it's time to start the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."

"hope everything is fine."

Chapter 683 Highlight moment!

Zijin Mountain is located in the east of Shenjing City.

The distance is not far, but it can't be said to be too close, about ten miles or so.

This was originally a barracks for the garrison, and generally there were at least [-] forbidden soldiers standing by. The range was naturally wide, and the ground was also very flat.

Because it is a military camp, there are actually not many people who dare to come here for a stroll on weekdays, but today, it is different. If you look at it from a high place, it is basically a dark place.

The number of people exceeds ten thousand, covering the sky and the sun.

This is placed on flat ground, but if standing on a high place and still stretching as far as the eye can see, then the number of people is not just as simple as over ten thousand.

The 30 elite forbidden troops were divided into four directions to form an army formation.

In addition, there are more people in the capital and nearby, as well as those warriors in the rivers and lakes.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is undoubtedly a grand event for many ordinary people. In fact, except for those knowledgeable and martial artists who criticize Jingtai verbally and in writing.

Many people don't think so.

Because, such a grand event, the general emperor will give amnesty, not to mention the world, but at least the people in the capital and Zhongzhou can still get a little benefit.

Otherwise, why would outsiders scramble for a capital household registration?

Someone once joked that the dogs in the capital live better than the people in other states.

This sentence is biased, but it also proves something.

Therefore, the people in the capital are really good.

Although the Sima family's reputation in Jianghu and other state capitals is not very good, but in the basic market of Zhongzhou, it is still widely popular.

Therefore, many people have smiles on their faces.

I feel that I can witness a grand event.

The predecessor of Zijin Mountain was Baizhang Mountain. Its name is very common, and the mountain is also very common. It is only a few hundred meters high in total, so it is naturally not too grand.

But that was before, and now...

After the rest of the imperial court, Baizhang Mountain has changed a lot.

A mountain that was originally bare is now covered with green. For those god-like beings, such a method is very easy.

Yes, even in this autumn season, which is about to enter winter, it can still make this mountain lush.

In addition to the greenery, there is also a step extending to the top of the mountain, which was just built, and it is covered with various mysterious lines.

As if to symbolize something.

As for the real top of Baizhang Mountain, it has been flattened, and a platform more than ten feet wide has been opened up, and on the platform, there is a giant tripod.

The huge tripod was several feet high, and the whole body was like ink. The walls of the tripod were also engraved with divine patterns, Qinglong, Xuanwu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu Qilin.

The origin of this tripod is also very extraordinary. There are rumors that it is one of the nine tripods left by Emperor Wu to suppress the Kyushu in the Central Plains, and some people say that it is a divine tripod imitated by Chu Taizu.

It is a sacrificial vessel specially used for offering sacrifices to heaven and praying.

But these rumors are always rumors, and there is no definite conclusion. The only thing that can be pointed out is that Jingtai wants to follow the example of the legendary Chu Taizu to worship his ancestors.

Whether it is the various divine lines of heaven and earth handed down from ancient books, or the giant tripod, it is the same.

Many common people and Jianghu warriors looked at the huge cauldron with admiration, longing, and anger in their eyes, which can be described as very complicated.

Many Jianghu people, before coming to the capital, said that they would smash the giant tripod to disrupt the ceremony when Jingtai worshiped the heavens.

But when he came near Zijin Mountain and saw the black-armored sergeant who couldn't see the end, he calmed down his thoughts in an instant.

Instead of watching the ceremony...

What is the concept of 30 elite forbidden troops?

Even if they can't compare with the strongest army in the world like the Beiliang Army, but once the battle is over, who under the immortals would dare to try their hand and fight against hundreds of thousands of troops with their own strength?

At least, ninety-nine percent of the people present dare not.

In addition to being afraid of these elite sergeants, he was also afraid of those sky-watching guards who wore black cloud suits and goose feather knives on their waists and hips like stakes, as well as those powerful men in the imperial court.

Today, on the bright side alone, there are Four Great True Monarchs and more than ten Huayang True Monarchs.

Even a single fairy sect is absolutely not qualified to shake such court power.

The imperial court is very weak, but it is compared with the entire rivers and lakes, not to mention the imperial court, even the royal court of the northern barbarians, and the demon clan of southern border, can they really overwhelm the rivers and lakes of the Central Plains?

Therefore, the strength of the imperial court is actually not weak at all. If the two kings of the north and the south sincerely surrendered, they would actually be stronger.

Faced with such a powerful imperial court, many people's original anger was also dissipated, and they felt that they had little arms and legs, and it was almost enough to watch the excitement.

If you really go up, you will definitely end up dead without a whole body.

Near Zijin Mountain, there are already more than a million people gathered. Listening quietly, you will only feel that the buzzing in your ears is annoying.

But no one yelled in silence.

There are no warriors in the rivers and lakes, and neither does the imperial court.

It seems that everyone is quietly waiting for a certain moment to arrive.

The 30 imperial guards were on the outermost side, as if they were guarding the gate, or they seemed to be catching turtles in the urn of people inside, basically locking the surrounding area firmly.

The second floor is where most of the common people are located. In fact, Zijin Mountain is already a little far away from here, but it can still be seen clearly.

Even though the grand ceremony has not yet started, there are still people standing on tiptoe to watch it.

The third layer is the relatively rare Jianghu warriors.

Thinness is also relative.

Only those who can enter martial arts dare to be called Jianghu people.

And compared with hundreds of millions of Limin people, they are too far behind.

Therefore, even if the total number of warriors here is only about [-], many people came from afar to watch the excitement.
