Chapter 83 Sacrifice Ceremony [-]
Yu Xi immediately closed his mouth, not daring to mention it again.

Just think of what happened that day as a secret between him and his master!
In addition to the Imperial City and the entire Kyoto attaching great importance to the sacrificial ceremony, the four major families and other major forces also joined in the fun.

Zuo Qiuyu later found an opportunity to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to apologize, but was rejected.

Puyang Xiao was unwilling to accept his apology at all.

The sacrificial ceremony was held above the Jing River.

The cruise ships gathered, and the common people all watched and worshiped on the shore.

The biggest bright yellow boat belonged to His Majesty, and there was an altar on it, which was used to pray for the Fengshui of the entire East Wu Kingdom this year.

The boat branch of the officials is the one next to it, and many people have already gathered on it.

When Puyang Xiao appeared, he was immediately surrounded by hundreds of officials, all kinds of greetings: "I didn't expect the Prime Minister to come so early this year."

"Haha, this is natural. How can you not come to support the grand ceremony of the National Master's sacrifice?" Puyang Xiao said with a smile, and he seemed to be in a very good mood.

Lan Zhi, who followed beside him, had been carefully standing on the seat next to Puyang Xiao, looking around curiously, a little excited.

At the same time, I was thinking, I wonder if the lady came to the scene.

Miss likes such lively scenes the most.

Although the officials have never left Puyang Xiao so much, how could such a highly respected person have such an attitude of reverence for the Master of the State Teacher.

Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not dare to question him openly.

All the compliments of haha ​​were brought over.

It's just that this year, because of the affairs of Jingtian Mansion and Yuzhou, all the officials are in danger.

So there is actually not much mood for the sacrificial ceremony.

He could only say with a smile: "This year there is some unrest in the East Mist Kingdom. I hope that the Imperial Master can allow us to enjoy this good fortune and get rid of all bad luck and bad things!"

When Puyang Xiao heard this, he couldn't help being mocking in his heart, but he said very calmly: "People are doing what the sky is watching. If they really have a clear conscience, they will naturally have blessings. But people who have evil thoughts in their hearts, how can they?" Get lucky?"

Suddenly, all the officials were silent and did not dare to say anything.

And at this moment...

"Hahahahaha, Prime Minister Puyang's words are different. Since Master Guoshi is the god of Dongwu, he must take on the responsibility of turning the world around, right? Just like the matter of Yuzhou, I believe that as long as Master Guoshi does it today If we figure it out, we will get good news tomorrow." Prime Minister Meng Chaoci walked over with a smile in his official robes.

He is six years younger than Puyang Xiao, but I don't know if it's because he didn't interfere with the government and retired. Puyang Xiao has become more and more energetic in recent years, so his appearance is not much different from Puyang Xiao.

Seeing the appearance of Meng Chaoci, Puyang Xiao's gaze sank slightly.Then he showed a bit of benevolence and said kindly: "Hehe, Prime Minister Meng, long time no see!"

"Prime Minister Puyang, Chaoci may not have seen you for a long time, and I really miss the time when I discussed with the court." Meng Chaoci also smiled politely.

But thinking of what he just said, all the officials knew the connotation.

Prime Minister Meng and Prime Minister Puyang have always been incompatible with each other.

He looks friendly now, but under his smile there is mostly the shadow of a sword.

In particular, what Meng Chaoci said just now is obviously mocking and raising the national teacher.

How can a natural disaster be reversed manually?

If Master Guoshi had that strength, would they still have to be so dismissive now?

And the old Prime Minister of Puyang has always supported Master Guoshi, isn't Meng Chaoci's words mocking Master Guoshi clearly slap Puyang Xiao in the face?

"The truth of what Meng Xiang said just now does not agree. Although Yuzhou is a natural disaster, His Majesty has been governing and adjusting to support the entire Yuzhou to tide over the difficulties. However, this man-made disaster happened later. There are too many locusts in the court. If it is not cut off, no matter how great the blessings are in Dongwu, even people like Master Guoshi, they will be swallowed up and nothing will be left." Puyang Xiao said with a sneer.

His old eyes have been staring at Meng Chaoci's.

Therefore, the deep meaning in the words, I am afraid that only he himself knows.

Meng Chaoci's expression was also slightly gloomy, and then he smiled immediately. He looked at Puyang Xiao and asked, "Then Prime Minister Puyang thinks, who is this locust in the court?"

All the officials listened in horror.

This is simply the obvious topic of death.

"Well, how do you know the truth? If you knew the truth, wouldn't you have told His Majesty to execute him?" Puyang Xiao also suddenly laughed, as if what he said before was just a random sentence.It's just that at this time it is not known whether the smile is real or fake.He turned his head to look at the sacrificial platform on the big bright yellow boat in the center, and calmly changed the topic and said, "We won't talk about these things in today's sacrificial ceremony."

The officials breathed a sigh of relief.

It's better not to mention it.

When I heard these words, I felt terrified.

Meng Chaoci's expression was also unpredictable, and then he said with a pretentious gesture: "Yes, today's sacrificial ceremony is so joyful. I believe that after today, my Dongwu country will be prosperous and the people will be safe, and the weather will be smooth..."

The words "Father and Rain" are also intentionally emphasized.

Puyang Xiao had a cold expression and was too lazy to respond to him.

Lanzhi next to her was also cautious, not daring to breathe.

The world of big shots is too scary.

In addition to the ships of the officials, there are seven or eight huge painting boats beside them.

It was a surprise that there were Zuoqiu family, Shentu family, Xianyu family, Zhongsun family and the four great families' boats, and this year the Temple of Medicine also came.

The other two ships are from Mingbaotang, the largest merchant in the East Mist Kingdom, and Shengwutang, the largest martial arts union.

The remaining painting boat is quite mysterious, and no one knows which side it belongs to.

But how can it be easy to go to the Jinghe River?
After all, ordinary people can only lean on the shore and watch from a distance.

"I heard that the last sacrificial ceremony was flooded in the palace, so this time the sacrificial ceremony was set up on the water."

"So that's how it is. Finally, we can see the figure of Master Guoshi again. I hope that this year our Dongwu can still enjoy peace and prosperity."

The people are discussing...

"Yes, I'm looking forward to getting good luck from this sacrificial ceremony. I hope that when the National Preceptor can bring good luck, he will also bring good luck to me."

"But look, there seem to be more forces coming this year than in previous years. I didn't expect people from the Temple of Medicine to come this year. Tell me, has the legendary Nan Changyin, who is very powerful, come?"

"Then I don't know. Nan Miracle Physician has always been a supernatural doctor. Before His Majesty personally asked him to treat the crown prince's illness, he refused. How can he be interested in such things as the sacrificial ceremony?"
