Rebirth of The Deer and the Cauldron, Wei Xiaobao Becomes a God

The eunuch beside him presented the sacrificial text to King Sukjong Lee Sun with both hands. Lee Sun took it and opened it and read:

"I have accepted the mandate of heaven and succeeded King Sukjong. I am grateful for the kindness of heaven and for protecting the well-being of Goryeo. Today, I lead all the officials to prepare three animals and respectfully inform the Heaven with a pious heart.

After I ascend the throne, I will work diligently, rising early and sleeping late, to ensure peace and prosperity for the country and the people. However, Korea is so large and people's lives are so difficult, I know the weight of my responsibility. I hope God will bless us with good weather, good harvests, and a peaceful life for the people.

I will uphold justice, govern the country with virtue, and practice benevolence, so that the country will be peaceful and people from all directions will come to pay tribute. I pray that God will bless my country to be forever stable and the world to be peaceful.

Shang Xiang!

On December 12, the first year of the reign of King Sukjong of Goryeo, Yi Sun offered sacrifices to the Heaven.

This eulogy uses rigorous wording and magnificent momentum, fully reflecting Li Yun's majesty and sense of responsibility as a king.

However, careful ministers and guests discovered that the time that should have been used at the end of the Heavenly Sacrifice was not the 1675th year of Kangxi ( AD), but was changed to the first year of Suzong.

The vassal states of that era did not have era names, and instead used the era name of the suzerain state.

Li Yun's change shocked the guests below.

Liu Minghan, the teacher of Zhu Cijiong and the representative of the former Ming orphan Zhu San Prince, felt mixed emotions and thought to himself: He claims to be grateful to the Ming Dynasty and wants to hold high the banner of anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty and help the San Prince to restore his country, but he does not continue to use the Ming Dynasty's reign title and instead gives himself a reign title. His ambition is not small!

"Li Huan actually dared to change the era name without permission. He is so presumptuous!" Liu Minghan was secretly angry. He felt that Li Huan's action was not only against the relationship between the monarch and his subjects, but also disrespectful to the Ming Dynasty.

Liu Minghan frowned and thought to himself, "It seems that the Koreans are not as loyal to the Ming Dynasty as they say. If they really want to restore the Ming Dynasty, they should continue to use the Ming Dynasty's reign title to show their loyalty to the Ming Dynasty. However, now they have changed the reign title on their own, which is obviously a sinister intention."

As Liu Minghan thought about it, he paid attention to the reactions of the people around him. He noticed that the other guests also showed surprised expressions, but because of the special occasion, no one dared to discuss it easily. However, Liu Minghan could see from their eyes that everyone was also skeptical about this matter.

At this time, the Qing envoy Long Keduo, who was sitting next to him, was also shocked. He stared at Li Yun on the stage with wide eyes, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

Long Keduo thought: "This Li Yun openly established his own reign title, isn't this a challenge to the Qing Dynasty?"

He felt that Li Yun's behavior was simply a blatant challenge to the authority of the Qing Dynasty, and he also put himself on the same level as the Qing Dynasty. How could this not make Long Keduo dissatisfied? After all, Goryeo has always been a vassal state of the Qing Dynasty. It is really infuriating that it dares to act like this now.

Liu Minghan and Long Keduo both had complicated feelings. They both realized that there might be deeper intentions behind Li Yun's move.

Liu Minghan speculated secretly in his heart. He knew that Li Yun's action must have other purposes, and he had to deal with it carefully.

Long Keduo also had doubts. He was worried that Li Yun would harm the Qing Dynasty and Goryeo delegation. After all, they had met yesterday and ended in a bad mood. The hostility between the two countries became more and more obvious.

After Li Yun finished reading the sacrificial text, he placed it on the altar. The Taoist priest held the peach wood sword and swung it lightly. A sharp sword energy instantly lifted up the sacrificial text, and then accurately threw the sacrificial text into the large iron tripod and burned it.

The martial arts heroes on the viewing platform could not help but marvel at this scene. They all said, "This Taoist priest's sword energy can actually pick up objects from a distance. Such exquisite swordsmanship is truly amazing!" Everyone praised the Taoist priest's martial arts skills and believed that his strength must be very profound.

If Wei Xiaobao were present at this moment, he would be surprised to find that this old Taoist priest actually possessed martial arts skills at the celestial realm.

The Heavenly Man Realm is an extremely important realm, representing the pinnacle of martial arts cultivation. In this world, warriors below the Heavenly Man Realm are as insignificant as ants, and the Heavenly Man Realm has become the realm that countless warriors dream of.

At this point, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was completed, and everyone followed Li Yun to the ancestral hall in Zhaoge Hall to worship the ancestors of the Li Dynasty.

The ancestral hall is very large, and the main hall enshrines the spirit tablets of kings and queens of the Lee Dynasty.

You should know that the Goryeo Lee Dynasty (1392-1910), also known as the Lee Dynasty, has continued since its ancestor King Lee Seong established the Lee Dynasty in 1392 and King Sukjong Lee Sun was the th monarch of the Lee Dynasty.

When Li Yun led everyone into the ancestral hall, they found that the Taoist priest who presided over the ancestral sacrifice did not come to greet them as usual, which was obviously not in line with the established sacrificial procedures.

He couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that something unexpected might happen. After all, such an important matter as ancestor worship must be carried out according to traditional rules. If there are any mistakes or omissions, it may bring bad omens to the entire country.

Li Yun led everyone to the door of the main hall. The eunuch gently pushed open the door, and Li Yun walked into the hall with a group of doctors.

But there was an old man with white hair and a childlike face, kind eyes, sitting at the top, wearing a gorgeous royal robe, with sharp eyes, radiant spirit, and exuding a sense of majesty and solemnity. On both sides stood the Taoist priests who were supposed to preside over the ancestor worship ceremony.

Li Yun looked at the old man with a little confusion in his heart, but then he seemed to think of something and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

He looked at the old man in royal robes with some hesitation, then suddenly realized his identity. He immediately knelt down and said with a trembling voice: "Great-grandson Li Yun, I pay my respects to our ancestor. May the Grand King Xuanzu live a thousand years!"

When the ministers behind him heard this, they suddenly realized that the person in front of them was the legendary King Seonjo. They immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Greetings to the 14th King Seonjo, may you live a thousand years!"

This old man was none other than King Seonjo Yi Sun, the 14th monarch of the Joseon Dynasty.

Lee Sun is 123 years old this year. He abdicated in middle age to become a monk and has been living in Zhaogejeon. He is the true ancestor of the current Lee Dynasty.

King Seonjo Yi Sun is a legendary figure in the history of the Joseon Dynasty. He experienced many ups and downs during his reign and witnessed the rise and fall of the country. Although he has abdicated for many years, he is still respected and admired.

For the civil and military officials, it was a rare opportunity to see this elusive living ancestor. They were very excited and their hearts were filled with respect for King Seonjo.

"Everyone, get up!" King Seonjo Yi Sun smiled and waved his hand, signaling everyone to get up.

Li Yun and others stood up and stood aside respectfully, waiting for King Seonjo's instructions.

The whole scene was solemn and the atmosphere was heavy.
