Chapter 398 The Wind and Clouds in the Imperial Suburbs
In the middle of spring, the spring breeze blows, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.
According to the rule of Yanhuang, "It is the end of the month, choose an auspicious day, Dahele, and the emperor leads the three princes and nine princes to look at it in person" and presides over the ceremony of sacrificing heaven and earth. On February 30, the whole imperial hill was bustling, and the streets and alleys were washed countless times, and the bluestone road was astounding. There was a red rune in front of every door, and everyone put on new clothes.
This day is not only the annual grand day of sacrifice, but also the wedding day when the hero Yao Chonghua married the two princesses, Emperor E and Ying. Originally, according to the custom, the emperor's wedding ceremony was held in the Yanhuang Temple, offering sacrifices to the gods and the emperors of Yanhuang, and then held a secular wedding ceremony in the imperial palace. However, this day is a little strange. According to the calculation of the son, the sacrifice and wedding ceremony should be held at the altar of the six tribes at the end of Tianjie Street, so that all the people can celebrate together, show the harmony of the six tribes, and pray for the blessings of the gods.
Di Yao's biggest headache is that the separation trend of the six tribes is becoming more and more serious. Hearing the words of the son, he was overjoyed. He immediately ordered Diqiu to celebrate together and hold the Spring Festival and wedding ceremony in the altar of the six tribes.
The altar of the six tribes is a high platform made of earth and stone, three feet above the ground, and surrounded by six houses. According to the Yanhuang custom, the altar has different shapes due to different objects of sacrifice. The round altar for sacrificing the sky is called "round hill"; the square altar for sacrificing the earth is called "square hill". This altar of the six tribes is unique in shape and is hexagonal, and a hall is built in the middle. It symbolizes that the six tribes surround the imperial hill and live in harmony.
The common people in Diqiu are also extremely happy. Such a grand ceremony has rarely been seen for many years. In the early days, the sky street and the altar of the six tribes surrounded it. The people of the wilderness tribes who came to trade were even more excited. They put out all their goods, including sea salt in the east, horses, jade, copper and iron in the west, fur and livestock in the north, herbs and seafood in the south, and all kinds of rare things in the world.
At noon, while everyone was waiting, the gate of Diqiu slowly opened, and for a moment, Diyao's Liulongluan car slowly came. There are continuous cyan flags around, and people are also wearing blue clothes. Di Yao wears a cyan king robe with a clear jade hanging on it. Sanyi sat on the right side of Di Yao, and behind them was today's bride - Emperor E and Nu Ying. The two of them are dressed in grand clothes, resplendent and brilliant, just like immortals. The people along the way kept cheering.
After Di Yao, it was the convoy of the Yu clan. At this time, Yao Chonghua finally changed his tattered Gebu shirt, wearing a red lucky suit, riding a white war horse, surrounded by eight soldiers behind him, holding eight bright red Yu tribe totem flags. Behind it are the four mountains and twelve herdsmen and the kings of various tribes and other emperors.
Before the long team came to the altar of the six tribes in the sound of drum music, the witches who were the main sacrifice today were Wu Xian and Wu Pan, but the witches were Mi Ziyin and Sang Mingyu - at this time, he had officially taken the position of the Holy Go, and the Shao Mi gave the name "Zi Zi Yu".
The ceremony is tedious and complicated. First of all, Wu Pan and Gozi Yu sacrificed heaven and earth first to welcome Emperor Yao. Except for Danzhu, the kings of the six tribes are not in the imperial hill, but each has representatives resident in the imperial hill, and these representatives sit on the six corners. Di Yao took Sanyi, Ehuang and Nv Ying straight into the main hall in the middle of the altar and burned incense to worship first.
Yao Chonghua and other welcoming teams went to the altar and knelt down on the hexagonal star belonging to the Yu clan.
Di Yao walked side by side with the Sanyi family, followed by E Huang, Nu Ying and Ai Sang. Therefore, he married his own daughter. Dan Zhu did not sit in the direction of the Tang tribe, but followed Di Yao and walked side by side with Ai Sang.
Ziziyu followed Ziziyin to meet Di Yao. At a glance, he couldn't help but be stunned. A trance surged up in front of him and said, "You...Aisan..."
Aissan glanced at him, bowed his head slightly and said nothing. Di Yao smiled and said, "Brother Sang... Oh, Ziyu, congratulations on your honor! I haven't informed you yet. I and Sanyi have accepted Asan as a righteous daughter! This child is smart and filial. When you and Assan went to the imperial palace to see me last year, who would have expected that there would be today's fate!"
"The righteous girl..." Ziyu suddenly remembered that when he first saw Shaoqi, Shaoqi fell into a deep sleep for months in order to discuss with him, and said, "When you wake up, you will become a respected princess in the bustling streets of Diqiu."
At that time, he still couldn't understand what Shaoqi's words meant. Why was he on the street of Diqiu when he woke up? How did Isaac become a princess? But thinking about it at this time, Sang Mingyu couldn't help but contract his heart - all of Ai Sang's experiences were exactly the same as what Shao Wei predicted!
This is so horrible! Is there really someone in the world who can manipulate people's fate like puppets? Or is there any mysterious mystery in it?
