Chapter 1432 merit map
"Swish!"
From the sky, it fell straight on the ancestral temple steps deep in the palace.
At this time, all the ministers were there, Lin Hui, Zhang Lingyue, Wang Shuang, Nangong Chi, one prince and three dukes arrived, and there were many civil and military officials. In front of them was a magnificent and solemn building, a ancestral temple, a place where the kings worshipped their ancestors and kings. In the past, when Xuanyuan Ying and Xuanyuan Li were there, they needed to burn incense and worship their ancestors in the ancestral temple and pray for blessings before every large-scale expedition.
Now, where is this going?
I walked up the steps step by step and smiled, "What are you doing?"
Lin Hui frowned and said, "We are in accordance with Your Majesty's holy edict, and on behalf of Your Majesty, we will go to the ancestral temple to worship on behalf of Your Majesty when the four mountains of the Empire are completed, so that we can leave this mark on the merit map. However,... the royal family members who guarded the ancestral temple did not allow us to go in, they said..."
He hesitated a little.
I smiled and said, "They said I am not from Xuanyuan, so I am not qualified to enter the ancestral temple?"
"Yes, please calm your anger."
"I'm not angry."
I waved my hand and walked ahead, leading my ministers to walk along the steps to the ancestral temple.
At the end of the steps, there were many soldiers in the royal family wearing blue armor, and were specifically responsible for guarding the ancestral temples. They were probably the Imperial Army among the Imperial Army. Just behind the Imperial Army, there were a group of people from the royal family. The so-called royal family, that is, the royal family, were all from the Xuanyuan Ying lineage, and they held considerable power in the empire and sometimes even influenced some important decisions in the court.
The leader of a group of people in the royal family was a man wearing a robe with gray hair and beard.
After Xuanyuan Yi, the king of Mingyang, was killed by a "bandit" on the way to Yunxi Province, Xuanyuan Ying should be the most powerful person in the Xuanyuan clan. Now he is also the leader of the entire royal family. The real patriarch. Of course, the person with the surname Xuanyuan must be the most hostile person, who is not surnamed Xuanyuan but "stole the Longting".
...
"King Mingyang!"
I walked up to everyone on the steps, ignored the swords of a group of armored soldiers, and smiled with a smile: "Why do you have to do this? Lin Xiang just wanted to leave a mark on the merit map. The empire casts four mountains and protects the people of the world. Shouldn't such merit be left on the merit map of the ancestral temple?"
Xuanyuan Yi frowned: "If you don't have the surname Xuanyuan, you can't enter the ancestral temple. This is a rule set by the ancestors. It's not that I, Xuanyuan Yi, are making things difficult for you, but the rules are placed here, and no one can trample on it at will."
"right!"
Behind him, someone surrounded him and said indignantly: "If you don't have the surname Xuanyuan, what qualifications do you have to enter the ancestral temple of my Xuanyuan family? Let our ancestors see outsiders stealing the throne?"
They spitted with spit, angry but timid.
"All right."
I nodded and smiled, saying, "I really don't have the surname Xuanyuan. There is no way. If I don't have the right to go in and worship my ancestors, I'm not qualified to go in and ask these ministers to go in and write a picture of merit. Is this okay?"
"Not even."
Xuanyuan Yi frowned and said, "After every merit of the merit map is written, there must be an emperor who signed and stamped the seal by himself. I wonder if the merit of Xuanyuan casting the Four Mountains, is it in line with the etiquette system if the name of Xuanyuan's signature is not the emperor of Xuanyuan's clan?"
"What should I do?"
I laughed: "The deposed emperor Xuanyuan Li was already killed by bandits on his way to Yunxi Province. Although I was so sad and angry, I had no choice. I couldn't resurrect Xuanyuan Li and let him sign this merit map for casting the Four Mountains."
"snort!"
Wang Shuang raised her hand and sneered, "King Mingyang, don't forget some things. The four mountains of the Empire were all presided over by King Xiaoyao, and the last Western Mountain was personally presided over by His Majesty Liuhuo Emperor. This merit is not the turn of Xuanyuan Li, right? Besides, isn't the merit of the other surname considered merit?"
"that is!"
Nangong Chi frowned and said, "In this world, there are no tens of millions of ministers with surnames working together. Can the Xuanyuan family be strong in the country alone? I don't think so. Emperor Longwu once said, "When you come to your Xuanyuan Yi, your emperor's words will not keep your word? The merit map has become the Xuanyuan family?"
"Rules are rules!"
Xuanyuan Yi suddenly raised a golden long halberd in his hand and said, "Who dares to make a rash decision by the ancestors here? Seeing the dragon sword is like seeing the ancestor emperor, even if the emperor's brother Xuanyuan Ying is still there, he will be polite. Can you, the Liuhuo Emperor, dare to break into the ancestral temple with the other surname?"
"Don't go out, don't go out."
I shook my head and smiled, then reached out to point the soldiers on both sides of Xuanyuan Yi, and my voice began to turn cold, saying, "Xuanyuan Yi is King Mingyang, I dare not touch him, but you soldiers guarding the ancestral temple have opened your eyes widened. You are pointing your sword at the current Majesty. Do you... want to die?"
"Come!"
Zhang Lingyue, the Ling Yuegong, raised his hand gently and said, "Tiebu Camp, the guards of the Shengong Camp, come on me. If anyone dares to use a sword to attack His Majesty, kill him directly!"
"yes!"
Thousands of soldiers surrounded the ancestral temple.
Suddenly, a group of soldiers who originally supported Xuanyuan Yi were all hanging down their swords and did not dare to act like they were defeated by the death. If they really wanted to fight, the thousands of soldiers who guarded the ancestral temple were not enough to kill them, and their combat power was useless in front of the Liuhuo Legion.
...
I took a deep breath and said, "King Mingyang, I don't plan to make things too bad. It doesn't matter if you protect your ancestral temple. As a foreign surname, I really don't want to enter the ancestral temple, but don't affect my work. A major event like casting the Four Mountains must leave a mark on the merit map. You have to leave this mark whether you want to or not."
"You..." Xuanyuan Yi's body trembled slightly. He was indeed old and his cultivation was not good enough. He could not be able to stay young forever.
I waved my hand gently and said, "The reason why I did not order the iron cavalry to flatten the ancestral temple is because the late emperor Xuanyuan Ying, he regarded him as his nephew. I must maintain this respect. The ancestral temple is the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family. I cannot move, so I give in. I will not enter the ancestral temple. On the contrary, you take out the merit map and we will write merit outside the ancestral temple. How about?"
"no!"
Xuanyuan Yi was already trembling: "The emperor's signature of the merit map must not have any other surnames!"
"Can."
I waved my hand: "Lin Hui, send someone to pick up the crown prince Xuanyuanji, and let him sign the seal after the merit map is completed."
"yes!"
I looked at Xuanyuan Yi again and said, "I have given up to this point. If you are aggressive, I will kill you!"
"Yes, your Majesty!"
Zhang Lingyue and Wang Shuang both showed a hideous face.
Xuanyuan Yi had nothing to say, so he could only sit on the steps with a group of people from the ancestral temple.
...
After waiting for a while, the crown prince Xuanyuan Ji was taken over. Although he was young, he was wearing a Confucian shirt. After seeing me, he immediately saluted and shouted to meet His Majesty, which made the group of Xuanyuan people extremely unhappy, and I was even more unhappy. This emperor was really frustrated. Xuanyuan should have made me a bit of a strong man. If I had known this, I would have directly established Xuanyuan Ji as the new emperor. I would be the Regent and take charge of the court. But in that case, the Western Mountains, which were enfeoffed, should not be as lucky as they are now. The strength of the emperor can also affect the fortunes of the mountains and rivers. There is no doubt about this.
"Lin Xiang."
I also sat on the steps and asked, "What is the effect after writing the merit chart?"
Lin Hui bowed respectfully and said, "The merit map is a gift from heaven, which can reflect the existence of the way of heaven. Once we write on the merit map, the merit of the four mountains will be forged. This merit will reach the will of heaven. Then the heaven will feed back to the earth. The higher the merit, the stronger the reward you get. Perhaps, our Xuanyuan Empire will have more energy."
"So, is there a difference between who signing the seal?"
"some."
Lin replied: "As the Emperor of Longwu Xuanyuan Ying, he signed a merit of opening up southern borders and was refuted by the heavens. Therefore, our Yunxi Province and Lingnan Province have good weather every year, becoming the granary of the empire. With high luck, these two provinces have become the heads of the major provinces of the empire. The higher the merits of the signers and the stronger the will of the heart, the more heavenly will feed back, and this should be the case."
I said secretly: "Since there are so many benefits, Xuanyuan Ji is so lucky to sign. I will secretly send it to me later and I will sign it myself."
Lin Hui couldn't help but smile: "Yes, I will receive the order!"
...
Not long after, a four-meter-high and six-meter-long golden dragon wall was carried out by everyone from the ancestral temple, with dense words on it, each paragraph was a merit, so this dragon wall was called the merit map. At this time, Prime Minister Lin Hui stepped forward and used the true meaning of Confucianism in his handwriting, and quickly left a passage of casting the Four Mountains in the merit map.
"Swish!"
Just as Lin Hui finished writing, a powerful golden light soared into the sky, with a strong resonance. The will of heaven had already understood everything about casting the four mountains. The surrounding heaven and earth became dark, and only the merit map bloomed with luminous rays. In the buzzing sound, a long and ancient voice came from the air-
"Those who cast the four mountains will be filled with fire in July, come forward and sign the seal!"
...
Tsk, God's will is clear!
I stepped forward, raised my eyebrows at a group of people from the ancestral temple and said, "I can only sign the seal myself. Do you still have to persist? If you violate the will of God, I will help God kill you all."
Everyone was trembling, and no one spoke any more.
...
I slowly stepped forward, held the brush in hand, tried my best, and wrote the four words "July Fire" under the merit text with my strongest brush. At the moment of completion, the rays of light shone brightly, and the seal was completed instantly. Then Lin Hui stamped the newly engraved "Flow Fire Emperor" seal, and another ray of light rose into the sky. In a blink of an eye, countless rains of luck turned into rays fell on all directions, landing on the West Mountain, the South Mountain, the North Mountain, and the East Mountain, feeding the land.
In just this moment, the luck of the Four Yues has increased by at least 30% again. I am afraid that even Lin Hai, Fertuna, and Charles join forces to ask the sword will be fearless.
