On the auspicious day, the Altar of the Soochow is already in full bloom, because it is the emperor's main sacrifice, and this Altar of the Soochow is a crucial place. It is on the west side of the Tiananmen Gate. The so-called Soochow is the god of land and the god of grains. The land and grains are the most important foundations of this era. The land can nourish all things, and the grains live countless people. Therefore, what it represents and means is the so-called concept of the king under the heavens. This is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and many grand occasions are carried out here.

The loss of Liaodong this time shocked the world. Sacrifices to loyal ministers here also meant the emperor's determination to restore Liaodong.

Early in the morning, all officials gathered outside the Jimen Gate, wearing court uniforms. In a vast and vast black hats gathered into the ocean. These important officials of the court who were usually dressed in bright clothes and angry horses seemed particularly inconspicuous in front of this magnificent altar of the country.

Ye Chunqiu was in this. He deliberately concealed the sorrow in his heart on the surface, but his heart was extremely sad. When everyone saw him, they just gave him a few words of comfort.

When Zhu Houzhao came here, everyone shouted long live. Zhu Houzhao changed into court clothes, looked gloomy, and only hurriedly looked at Ye Chunqiu, and then walked to the main seat.

Under the leadership of Zhu Houzhao, all the ministers entered the Jimen Gate, bypassed the Shenku, the Shenqiu, and the Aizaku Pavilion, and came to the core of the "Rior and Mountain Stone" of the Altar of the Altar.

In the altar of the country, the mountains and stones are the core place. There are five-color earth in the altar. These five-color earths are yellow in the middle, green in the east, red in the south, white in the west, and black in the north, symbolizing the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, and also symbolizing the five directions of the east, south, west, north, and middle. There is a square stone pillar in the center of the altar, which is the mountains and stones, symbolizing the eternal solidity of the country. The stone pillar is half buried in the soil, and a piece is exposed.

The ritual official has been waiting here for a long time. Seeing that the king and his ministers are in a mighty position, he said loudly: "Get up for sacrifice."

The lengthy ceremony began. Zhu Houzhao personally read the tribute to mourn Ye Jing. When talking about the emotions, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but burst into tears. His Majesty was so sad that the rest of the ministers dared to be idle? So they all seemed extremely painful. Ye Chunqiu could not act like this sorrowful. Only in his mind, countless scenes of father and son relying on each other involuntarily.

After reciting the tribute, Zhu Houzhao said seriously: "God, the ancestors and ancestors are above, and I have only inherited Pixu for more than ten years. Although I have not achieved the purpose of opening up the territory, I have been working hard to establish the country. Now Liaodong is rebelling. The traitor Yang Yu is unfilial and unrighteous, tyrannical and cruel. Ghosts are attached to them, and they are prone to illness. How can anyone with blood and energy bear to do it? I really hate him. Now I kill the governor Ye Jing, which is the second hatred. Emperor Tianhoutu, I am the son of heaven, protecting the land and safeguarding the people, and swearing to repay this hatred. The governor Ye Jing is loyal and has no good deeds. I am now reporting to the ancestors and ancestors and posthumously appointed him as the Prince of Qinglong..."

Hearing this, the ministers couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

Dead first and then report?

Last time, because Deng Jian opposed it, the matter of posthumously awarding the prince was given up. Everyone thought that His Majesty had already lost this idea. Who would have expected that His Majesty would posthumously grant Ye Jing the title of the prince at this time. Isn’t this accusation first and then report?

But before this altar of the country, since we have reported the gods and ancestors, we can be considered as a cooked rice.

Could it be that the emperor could still speak nonsense in front of the gods and ancestors? His Majesty opened his golden mouth here, and in front of the gods and ancestors, no one could change this.

So the expressions of the officials became wonderful. Some looked shocked, some were dumbfounded, and some were strange. At this time, even Deng Jian was so angry that he vomited blood, he still made a big noise.

Who dares to talk nonsense in front of the altar of the country? What's more, it's boring to make trouble again, because this has created a fait accompli. In this era, you can fool others, even the subjects, and anyone else, but the only thing you can't fool is God and ancestors.

After Zhu Houzhao said that, he bowed to Jiangshanshi three times with caution, and then he grew up and still had tears in the corners of his eyes.

His actions shocked everyone. At this time, even the ritual officer was a little panicked and didn't know what to do. Seeing Zhu Houzhao stand up, he finally woke up and said in a hurry: "Licheng."

After hearing his voice, everyone realized it and bowed down one after another.

Zhu Houzhao looked back and looked at the countless people crawling on the ground behind him. Although his idea had succeeded, his mood was not relaxed at all. This was probably the first time he had done this not too funny prank.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houzhao moved to the Shenkuan to take a nap, and Li Dongyang and others naturally followed him.

Here, naturally, someone prepared tea for him. Zhu Houzhao drank a little tea quietly before seeing the cabinet scholars, several dukes in Beijing, several clans in Beijing, and six ministers. However, no one dared to mention Zhu Houzhao's worship of his ancestors just now.

Everyone is smart and has reached this point. Even if there is any opinion, it is useless, so there is no need to discuss it. The Ministry of Rites will naturally record Zhu Houzhao's words and prepare for the posthumous ceremony.

Want Your Majesty to take back the fate? This is a joke. If it is taken back, it is a deception of Meng's ancestors. The country governs the world with filial piety and instigates the emperor to go to Meng's ancestors. Who dares?

Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and moistened her throat before looking at Ye Chunqiu. She wanted to say something comforting, but when she looked at Ye Chunqiu's expressionless face, which was just tired and haggard, Zhu Houzhao seemed to be able to feel the deepest sorrow in Ye Chunqiu's heart, and she couldn't say those comforting words that she had originally wanted to think of. Finally, she just said: "Chunqiu, you must be mourning."

Ye Chunqiu looked up at Zhu Houzhao and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

This sentence was obviously a pun. Of course, Zhu Houzhao understood it, but just shook her head.

In fact, he knew very well that at the court meeting that day, Ye Chunqiu agreed to Deng Jian's refutation to posthumously confer Ye Jing as the prince. It can be seen that Ye Chunqiu may not care about this posthumous title. After all, posthumous title is just to comfort the deceased. Everyone is dead. What's the point of this?

But Zhu Houzhao still did this today, actually just wanted to give Ye Chunqiu a little comfort, even a little bit.

But for Ye Chunqiu, why didn't he understand Zhu Houzhao's intentions towards him? It was obviously not easy for His Majesty to do this. In such a formal scene, he accidentally played this, and the joke was a bit big.

Ye Chunqiu was naturally grateful to Zhu Houzhao, but now his heart is in a mess, but he is hard to have too much joy.
