Chapter 503 Heavenly Sacrifice Ceremony
Others were shocked by the calm demeanor of the people of Heihe City.
"Is there anything more powerful?"
"Tell me, what else is more amazing?"
"In the middle of winter, even man-eating beasts have emerged from the mountains to serve as mounts! Hundreds of birds have lined up to pay homage! What could be more amazing than this?"
Compared to the excitement of these people, the people of Heihe City were calm.
"Is this amazing? We didn't think so!"
"In Black River City, wolves often come to the village with game to look for Her Majesty the Queen, and tigers with their cubs wander around the city. We see them quite often!"
"One of Her Majesty's mounts is a white falcon, capable of carrying Her Majesty to the sky. It's much larger than any of the birds in the sky!"
The audience was stunned and said with half-belief and half-doubt:
"real???"
"Anything else? Tell us more, we love to hear it!"
The people of Heihe City calmly waved their hands and said, "Let's not talk about it. You won't believe it even if I tell you."
"Why wouldn't you believe it? We do! Tell us now!"
The people of Heihe City hesitated and asked, "If we say... we've seen a dragon, would you believe us?"
"dragon?"
"I don't believe it!"
"Dragons only exist in myths and stories, no one has ever seen one!"
"Those who say they've seen dragons have actually seen pythons!"
The people of Heihe City smiled but said nothing.
At this time, melodious and solemn drum music sounded on the field, and everyone discovered that there were musical instruments such as chime bells and chime stones placed on the city wall, and dozens of musicians were playing music.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven began.
Wang Changyang scanned the entire audience majestically with his crutch in hand. The people in the audience immediately fell silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is extremely sacred.
It is said that "the most important affairs of a state are sacrifices and wars."
In the eyes of the people, offering sacrifices to heaven is a top priority for a country, more important than using military force.
Because offering sacrifices to heaven is to convey a country's sincerity to the ears of heaven. If it can move heaven and earth, there will be good weather, good harvests, and the people will be able to live a good life.
Therefore, during the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, one must not talk or discuss, make noise, or laugh or talk too much, and even one must suppress a cough.
Everyone knelt down reverently and listened to the official reading the prayer.
The ability to sing in a pretentious manner and with ups and downs in intonation are the basic qualities for reading Zhuguan.
But today, after Zhu Guan finished reading a paragraph, the pace suddenly accelerated.
Because he was horrified to find that the little empress sitting on the dragon throne yawned a few times out of boredom.
Then, he lay down on the dragon throne, tilted his little head, and fell asleep.
I really fell asleep!
Who would believe it if I told her that during the solemn and sacred ceremony of the new emperor's enthronement and worship of heaven, Her Majesty the Empress actually fell asleep!
The official was so anxious that smoke was about to come out of his head!
Oh, heaven! Oh, earth!
The emperor fell asleep during the sacrifice to heaven. What does that mean?
God will definitely be angry and punish you!
But everyone else on the field was kneeling on the ground with their heads down, and no one noticed that the little empress was drooling in her sleep!
The official who read the blessing ignored his professional ethics, sped up the reading, and forced himself to raise the volume.
After repeating this several times, finally!
The little baby on the dragon throne opened his eyes, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth with the dragon robe, and sat down again.
The official who read the blessing breathed a sigh of relief, and the cold sweat on his forehead gradually faded away.
But he soon found that he was happy too early!
Her Majesty the Queen looked around with a lack of interest, and finally fixed her eyes on the altar, staring at the offerings to the gods of heaven and earth with green eyes!
The altar was filled with offerings of jade, silk, pigs, cattle, sheep, deer, poultry, wine, fruit and dishes, which were extremely rich.
The official who read the blessing watched in horror as Her Majesty the Empress jumped off the dragon throne and staggered towards the altar.
The little hand stretched out and pulled off a big chicken leg from the altar.
Perhaps because she was afraid of being discovered, she crouched down and went directly under the altar and hid in the curtain.
After a while, a chicken leg bone was thrown out from the curtain and fell at the feet of the official who was reading the blessing.
Then, Her Majesty the Queen with her greasy mouth crawled out stealthily.
The official who read the blessing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking, it's finally over.
Unexpectedly!
Her Majesty the Empress stood on tiptoe, quickly tore off a large goose leg, and retracted it into the curtain!
The officials were about to burst into tears when reading this.
Cold sweat broke out all over my body.
The voice was shaking uncontrollably and the rhythm of the reading was completely messed up.
The speed and momentum were like the Yellow River rushing thousands of miles, and even a hundred horses couldn't pull it back.
Ignore punctuation, no pauses, and even save for breathing!
I read the last sentence in one breath and my face turned the color of pig liver!
The civil and military officials looked up with puzzled expressions, and looked at the official who was reading the blessing in confusion.
Old friend, are you in a hurry to reincarnate?
Wang Changyang's face turned pale and he almost couldn't help jumping up and hitting someone.
What the hell is this? It's worse than shit!
How can this satisfy Her Majesty the Queen?
Wang Changyang glanced at the dragon throne.
Huh? Where's Her Majesty?!
Why is no one here?
The official who read the blessing had a look of despair on his face and pointed his mouth towards the altar.
Everyone looked at the altar and didn't find anything wrong.
Then, the Regent strode over, lifted the curtain, and pulled out a little baby holding a big goose leg.
The baby's mouth is greasy and his cheeks are chubby.
All the ministers staggered!
"You idiot, you are such a jerk!" The little baby stuffed the half-eaten goose leg into the Regent's mouth!
The ministers were so shocked that they almost fainted!
That was an offering to the gods, and Her Majesty actually ate it right there?!
It is so disrespectful, what is the point of offering sacrifices to heaven?
This should be the biggest and most serious mistake that has ever occurred in the history of sacrifices to heaven throughout the dynasties!
The people were also stunned. They felt a chill in their hearts and prostrated themselves on the ground, shedding tears.
"Please forgive me, Heaven and Earth!"
"Her Majesty is young and ignorant! She really didn't mean it!"
"Please don't bring disaster upon us! We kowtow to you!"
The people banged their heads together.
"It's okay!"
"Don't bother!"
Xiao Jiuer waved her hands, but no one paid any attention to her.
Looking at the panicked people, Xiao Jiuer looked at the big goose leg in his hand with some guilt.
Then, ah ah ah, I finished eating the goose leg in my hand...
The ministers cried.
"Your Majesty, please repent to God!"
"If you disrespect God, you will be punished!"
As soon as he finished speaking, thunder suddenly rumbled in the sky.
"Oh no! God is angry!"
Everyone was horrified and knelt on the ground trembling.
The grand ceremony of offering sacrifice to heaven was ruined, and at that moment, they felt disheartened.
"It's too difficult. I was hoping that the new emperor would take the throne and things would get better and better."
"Who could have imagined that I would anger Heaven on the very day I ascended the throne?"
"In the days to come, I'm afraid there will be another series of natural disasters!"
The villagers of Heihe Village stood aside calmly, "Stop crying, look up, the real big scene is coming!"
Everyone raised their misty eyes.
The next second, everyone was petrified.
"Oh my god!"
"There's a dragon in the sky!"
"It's a black dragon!"
"No! Another golden dragon has arrived!"
