Wu Dalang's Counterattack

Chapter 315 Worshiping Heaven and Stealing Opportunities!

Bianliang City, Taimiao.Emperor Zhao Zhe took the lead, followed by a group of civil and military ministers kneeling.As a national teacher, Wu Ming has privileges.

Before the entire Taimiao, only Wu Ming did not kneel down. This time Song Huizong gathered all the ministers here for no other reason.

Zhao Zhe was going to worship the heavens. According to the normal time, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens should not be held at this time.

However, this sacrifice to heaven was because of a big victory.In the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, on the altar, Zhao Ji was wearing Taoist robes, and the closest follower was not Wu Ming.

But DAO Shihlin Lingsu.There were only three people on the altar, and the other one who followed was Zhao Huan, the future emperor and prince of the Great Song Dynasty.

Only he has the qualification to worship the heavens with the emperor, and the rest can only worship in the audience.As for why sacrifice to heaven in advance?Annihilation of the country is a big victory.

The country of Xixia is like a piece of dog skin plaster, sticking to the Song Dynasty all day long, disgusting the Song Dynasty, and coming to the border of the Song Dynasty when you are free.

If they can't win, they send envoys to sue for peace, which makes the soldiers and civilians on the border of the Song Dynasty miserable.But now, Wu Caishen is out.

Just wipe out Xixia directly. If such a big victory is not sacrificed to the sky, it will not be justified.

Logically speaking, Zhao Zhe sacrificed to heaven, and Wu Ming, as a national teacher, also had the credit for destroying Xixia, so he is also qualified to stand on the altar.

But Wu Ming is the person who is most afraid of trouble, and he directly refused to let him take the stage. Who knows that this set of sacrifices to heaven will come down.

How long will it take, I am not stupid, and I am not worshiping my ancestors, so I will not do those red tapes on the altar.

Song Huizong Zhao Zhe also had nothing to do with his brother-in-law. When there was really no way, Song Huizong had no choice but to change.

He recruited Lin Lingsu, a well-known Daoist in the Song Dynasty, to replace Wu Ming.Wu Ming was also very happy.

He looked at Zhao Zhe on the altar, Lin Lingsu and Prince Zhao Heng were tossing about there, and thought Zhao Heng was silently mourning while being amused.

Zhao Heng, Zhao Heng, I'm afraid what you don't know is that your crown prince will soon be lost.Not to mention that Zhao Zhe wants to abolish you.

Let Zhao Xitong, the child born to him and my righteous sister Li Shishi, be born. Even if Zhao Zhe didn't have this idea, do you think you can beat the system?
You're still so proud of yourself on this altar.Although Zhao Zhe has not revealed this meaning yet, how could I not know Zhao Zhe's thoughts.

If Zhao Zhe hadn't planned to change the crown prince, he wouldn't have let me be Zhao Xitong's teacher and adoptive father. This Zhao Zhe is also a smart man.

He knew: As long as he wins me over tightly, as long as he has my support, then their old Zhao family's Great Song Dynasty will continue to prosper.

Unfortunately, Zhao Zhe, you also misread me. This is the pattern. Your pattern is too small. What I want is the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.

But this Great Song Dynasty is not the Great Song Dynasty of your old Zhao family, but the Great Song Dynasty of the people all over the world.If it weren't for the hardened thinking of people in this era, they only recognize orthodoxy.

I have already brought over the electoral system of later generations.

Just when Wu Ming was thinking wildly, the bells and drums rang together, and the heaven-sacrifice ceremony finally began. Wu Ming raised his head and looked at the performance of several people on the altar.

I couldn't help but be thankful that I didn't go up to the altar, otherwise I would have killed myself just by kowtowing.

On the altar: the Taoist robe Zhao Zhe wore was extremely luxurious, with gold and silver threads shining.Lin Lingsu began to sing and read the sacrificial oration.

First praise the kindness of heaven and earth, and then praise the wisdom of the emperor.Then pray.Pray for the eternal dynasty, pray for the peace of the country and the people, pray for smooth wars, and pray for the unity of the world.

Lin Lingsu finally finished reciting the long memorial text for a long time. Zhao Zhe knelt down and worshiped several times, followed by Zhao Huan. Zhao Ji knelt, and he knelt down, and Zhao Ji knelt down, and he also knelt down.

Seeing the father and son kneeling and worshiping on the altar, being tossed a lot, Wu Ming felt that his decision not to go to the altar was very wise.

Whenever Zhao Zhe knelt down to worship, all civil and military officials under the altar also knelt down to do so, which made Wu Ming baffled.

Wu Ming secretly cursed in his heart: They say curiosity killed the cat. This sentence is indeed true, if he hadn't been curious.

I wanted to see what the ancient ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven looked like, so I came here for no reason to join in the fun.

Originally, I thought that if I didn't go to the altar, I could avoid the ritual of kneeling, but who knew that standing under the altar could also lie down.

Originally, Song Huizong and Zhao Zhe treated him well enough. You can see that the civil and military ministers of the whole dynasty are kneeling there, but he is standing behind with a golden sword.

Now everyone is kneeling and kowtowing with the emperor, if he is still standing here indifferently.

I'm afraid that after the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, I will be scolded to death by the scholars of the world, if the scholars of the world scolded me at other times.

I am naturally not afraid, and I will even find someone to scold back mercilessly, but this time it is my fault.

Everything in the world pays attention to a word of reason. If there is a way, it is reasonable to travel all over the world. If it is unreasonable, it is difficult to walk an inch.This ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is no joke.

Everyone is bowing down, but why don't you Wu Ming bow down because you are a god descending from the earth?You are a god, you don't have to bow down.

But after all, you have descended to the mortal world, and you must abide by the rules of the mortal world.Public anger is hard to offend.If he is still standing here this time.

Then all the reputation that I have accumulated in the past will be completely destroyed because of this one incident.

After thinking about everything, Wu Ming didn't dare to continue to stand there arrogantly, but Wu Ming was unwilling to let Wu Ming keep kneeling.

He doesn't want to keep kneeling like this, worshiping the sky, as long as he wants to, there is no need to kneel down so tediously.

Wu Ming, who was in a dilemma, finally came up with a compromise solution. First, he followed the minister of civil and military affairs in front of him and bowed intentionally once.

Then I got up and squatted there. Anyway, I was at the end of the line, so as long as I wasn't standing, I wouldn't look so obtrusive.

Wu Ming believed that he was the only one who dared to be indecorous in such a solemn ceremony.As for the others.

I'm afraid no one would dare to look around. Since no one looked around, who would find themselves squatting here.

As long as you squat here, you won't look so obtrusive.The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven ended in a tedious procedure, and Wu Ming only felt that his knees were numb.

Standing up, Wu Ming rubbed his numb knees, he couldn't help admiring the civil and martial arts of the court, and the generals were better off.

After all, they have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their endurance and ability to endure pain far surpass ordinary people.

But those civil servants, Wu Ming didn't know how they persisted.With such a strong physique, I am still kneeling.

Just squatting there, I feel sore knees, and how much pain those kneeling people have to bear.
