Chapter 2025 1701. New Year’s greetings

Of course, even with the skills of the Shadow Hall worshippers, some were killed or captured during the assassination.

After all, they were not ordinary characters, and at least they were all figures of the Yuan Dynasty’s chief officials. It was not uncommon for these characters to have hidden masters who worked for money or for other reasons. Even if it was the Military Intelligence Department and Skynet, it was impossible to investigate clearly.

After all, this era is far from as developed as it was later generations.

It is difficult for these priests who have been killed to not expose their identity as the Shadow Hall of Wuding Hall.

This is not to say that the worshipers of the Shadow Hall have any special signs and tokens, but because except for the Great Song Kingdom, no other country can do such a big deal now.

The next day.

The many cities in the northern border of the Yuan Dynasty were almost in chaos.

The officers, soldiers, and constables and officers in the city have been searching everywhere since last night, and there is still no sign of a stop.

Those who were assassinated were all real power officials from a certain province or road. Their stomping feet could cause the local area to shake twice. Now that they have become cold corpses, it is easy to imagine how much riots will be.

It was just dawn. Before it was dawn, many fast horses hurriedly left the city in the hinterland of the northern border of the Yuan Dynasty and headed towards Yuanzhongdu.

The same is true for those cities where even the officials survived.

Whether it is an assassination or a successful evasion of the assassination, the news should be transmitted to the emperor as quickly as possible.

In fact, people from each city did not know that officials in other cities were assassinated, but officials of the level of bans were assassinated, which was enough to make them nervous.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting was taking officials to the Temple of Heaven and the Ancestral Hall in Changsha City to pray for blessings.

This is what he wants to do in the morning. He prays to heaven and earth as the New Year arrives, and prays to generations like the Zhao family.

As for the afternoon, Zhao Dongting was going to visit Lu Xiufu, Zhang Shijie and other retired officials in Changsha City. In addition, there are also all the father-in-laws.

Dinners are to be served in the palace for banquets.

As long as New Year's Eve was over, Zhao Dongting's life would be much more busy immediately.

There is no saying that praying for blessings in the Temple of Heaven and the Ancestral Temple, and it is not much different from previous years. It’s just that this time I brought the Imperial Guard and the Imperial Guard, without the figure of the Flying Dragon Army to escort it.

The Imperial Army is a newly created military branch of Zhao Dongting and was separated from the Imperial Army.

In the past, the imperial guards coordinated the inner guards of the palace and protected the emperor, empress, princes and other royal families. Now, this is the task of the Imperial Guard.

To put it simply, the Imperial Guards are actually Zhao Dongting's personal soldiers. They are all the best selected among the imperial guards, and each of them has a cultivation level of no less than the Xiayuan realm.

The process of worshiping the heaven and earth and the ancestral temple is complicated and the house is a little boring. Especially those who travel through time like Zhao Dongting are even less interested in worshiping the ancestral temple.

Even in his heart, instead of worshiping these deceased ancestors, it is better to worship the soldiers who died for the Song Dynasty.

Of course, it is best to try to go hand in hand, but this is not a simple matter. Unless Zhao Dongting just pays homage to the soldiers from afar.

And Zhao Dongting did do this.

When he was worshiping his natural enemies and the ancestral temple, what he was thinking about was Liu Fu, Zhang Xizai, Ge Xiuhong, Ge Lichun, Yan Mingling and other civil servants who sacrificed their lives for the country, including Zhang Tiandong, Yuan Xiuzi, Chen Yidao, King Kong, Kong Qiangu, and other righteous men who died for the Song Dynasty, as well as countless martyrs who died in the struggle between the Song Dynasty and other countries.

It was because of their existence that the Song Dynasty was able to develop to this point today. Speaking of which, praying for blessings to the ancestral temple of heaven and earth is a bit illusory.

At least Zhao Dongting himself didn't believe that this would be the credit for praying for blessings.

If praying for blessings is so useful, the Song emperors in the past probably believed in gods and their ancestors more deeply. Since this is the case, why did the Song Dynasty fall to the point of storm?

In fact, even Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and others who followed Zhao Dongting could see that Zhao Dongting was a little perfunctory, but they just smiled bitterly in their hearts and didn't dare to say anything.

The emperor was originally a maverick, and now the empresses have situations that they want to change. They all think that it is better to say less and do more.

Besides, the emperor is not a matter of honor and disgrace, so there is really no need to attack.

Unless the Censorate is unhappy with the emperor's actions, old ministers such as Lu Xiufu and others would not care about Zhao Dongting's private life.

This prestige is not accumulated day and night.

Even if the Censorate impeachment of Zhao Dongting, there is still a Mingjingtai. If it weren't for the Censorate, they would probably not have many Zhao Dongting.

The entire process of worshiping heaven and earth was a bit boring. When Zhao Dongting thought of those clear or vague comrades in his mind, his expression became much more solemn.

After the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth, the ancestors went back to their own houses and looked for their mothers.

Wang Wenfu, Lu Xiufu and other respected old ministers all returned home directly, waiting for Zhao Dongting's arrival.

After Zhao Dongting returned to the palace, he quickly changed his clothes and then rode a golden carriage toward the palace.

On such a New Year's Day, it was in Changshazi City again, and he was not worried about his safety. Skynet, Wudingtang was spread out, so many people were not just a joke.

The golden chariot is so dazzling, shining brightly in the sun.

There are not many people passing by the roadside, all of whom are qualified to wish the New Year to those who live in this sub-city. Of course, they may also be people in the sub-city and visit each other.

When they saw Zhao Dongting's carriage passing by, they naturally fell to their knees on the ground. Occasionally, a few bold people would look up at Zhang Dongting.

There are curtains surrounding Zhao Dongting, which obviously makes them feel like they are watching flowers in the fog.

From the original Lu Xiufu family to the high-ranking officials who still live in the sub-city city, and finally to the mansions of the old Song ministers who moved to the inner city to pay New Year's greetings.

This cannot be said that Zhao Dongting went to greet them in the new year simply because they were old heroes in the past. In fact, these people still have great energy.

The relationship between every power in the Song Dynasty is now complicated, and even Zhao Dongting is not particularly clear. But he knew that it is more important than anything to keep these people dedicated to the court. The people are easy to say, but the officialdom of the Song Dynasty must have firm beliefs and make up people who are struggling for the Song Dynasty.

All afternoon passed like this.

When Zhao Dongting returned to the palace, the officials of the Song Dynasty who had just met him at home were already waiting in the palace.
Chapter completed!
