Chapter 578: The Ceremony of Sacrifice to Heaven (Part 2)

In Jiang Xia's calculations, if he planned this conspiracy himself, he would do everything his opponent had done before.

The alliance with the Tatars allowed the Tatars to invade the border, drag down the border troops, and prevent them from entering Beijing to rush to assist. In this way, most of the troops in the entire Ming Dynasty were basically bitten.

Then launch civil war reform around the capital to attract troops from the capital, which makes the capital's troops empty. Then, block the road to Beijing closer to the capital, so that external troops cannot enter Beijing in a short period of time.

As a result, the capital was short of troops and had a fight.

But this is just a fight. If Jiang Xia wants to ensure that everything is foolproof, he will buy more than 70% of the soldiers in the Beijing camp. When the emperor leaves the palace, these 70% of the soldiers will launch a mutiny at the same time and hold the emperor hostage. Then expose the emperor's face and disguise, and finally reveal the killing weapon of Miao Renhu, which proves that Zhu Zaijiang is fake, and the victory will be decided in this matter.

In Jiang Xia's opinion, such a plan is the most reliable one. So now, Zhu Zaijiang has arrived at the Taimiao smoothly, and Miao Renhu and Cui Zhengyi have been detained in the martial arts lecture hall from the beginning. Now they are all dead, which means that the last counterattack move has been broken. So Jiang Xia is no longer worried, because in his opinion, the overall situation has been decided!

Jiang Xia's originally solemn face has now let go a lot. The iconic smile on the corner of his mouth has now reappeared on the corner of his mouth.

After entering the Taimiao, the first thing I saw was a spacious playground. At the end of the playground was the Yudai River and Jinshui Bridge. Walk through the Jinshui Bridge and walk three hundred steps forward, where is the front hall of the Taimiao Temple.

Although there are many details to pay attention to in the entire process of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, it is actually not complicated.

Sacrifices were placed in the front hall, burned the sacrifices to heaven and sacrifices, and completed the sacrifices to heaven, Zhu Zaijiang could walk from the front hall to the main hall.

The main hall worships the throne of the royal relatives of the Ming Dynasty. After the ancestor worship is completed in the main hall, the entire ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven will be considered completed.

After completing the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, Jiang Xia will hand over the seventeen jade seals symbolizing imperial power to Zhu Zaijiang in front of all civil and military officials in the main hall, symbolizing that he will control the regime from then on and begin to rule.

Of course, from this moment on, Jiang Xia will also step down from the position of Assistant State. As for whether he will continue to take on official positions in the court, it depends on whether Zhu Zaijiang has granted him an official position.

Everything ahead was completed very smoothly. The officials followed Zhu Zaijiang to complete the ceremony of worshiping the sky and ancestors. After the last ceremony of worshiping the ancestors, the three kneelings and nine kowtows were over, Zhu Zaijiang stood up and turned to look at the kneeling civil and military officials.

He waved his right hand and said in a deep voice: "All the Lords..."

The civil and military officials shouted: "Thank you, Emperor." Then they stood up together. They looked at Jiang Xia subconsciously, knowing that the next one was the in charge of the rule. This was also a very historical moment of the Ming Dynasty. A generation of imperial teachers completed the task of assisting, without any concern for power, and returned the regime to the current emperor.

This will definitely be a good story in history. Of course, the premise is that after Zhu Zaijiang takes power, he will not be afraid of Jiang Xia's great achievements, so that he can end up in a good life. However, most ministers have never been worried about this. In the eyes of many ministers, the relationship between Jiang Xia and Zhu Zaijiang has long surpassed the relationship between the king and the minister, but it is a bit like the father and the son.

Since Zhu Zaijiang was six years old, Jiang Xia was waiting for this moment. Now this moment has finally arrived, Jiang Xia’s heart is filled with relief and joy. He smiled on his face and nodded to Yan Luo. Yan Luo took out a roll of yellow satin from his sleeve, and then began to recite: “On the first day of the 14th day of the July 14th of the 9th year of Jiajing, the Emperor of Haotian, and the land of the Thick Earth has arrived in the past... I have received the mandate of heaven and have ascended the throne. Now I have to rely on the assistance of the ministers. I have been ignorant since I was a child, and now I have mastered the way of governing the country. Therefore, I have assisted the country and said, ‘Can’, now I will rule!”

The four words "To be in charge of power" were read out from Yan Luo's mouth, and the civil and military officials immediately knelt down and shouted: "Long live my emperor..."

Before Zhu Zaijiang could call him flat, Jiang Xia stood up and waved to an official from the Ministry of Rites. The official from the Ministry of Rites immediately came over with the seventeen treasures of the Ming Dynasty, which was the seventeen-sided jade seal.

Before Jiang Xia could speak, someone suddenly yelled: "The treacherous minister and thief are trying to usurp the throne. The civil and military officials will not take down this thief!"

Hearing this voice, Jiang Xia was shocked. He turned around and looked at it, and he was even more shocked.

The people who came were Choi Zhengyi and Miao Renhu!

When all the officials saw Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu in a mess and wounded body, they were shocked. Is this person... the emperor?

After turning his head over to look at Miao Renhu, he immediately turned over to look at Zhu Zaijiang. Obviously, the two of them looked almost exactly the same!

When Jiang Xia saw Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu, he naturally understood what was going on. Qiu Wenshi! This person is a traitor!

Cui Zhengyi pointed at Jiang Xia and shouted loudly: "Jiang Xia, you use the disguise technique of the Jianghu, and you can pretend to be the emperor if you find someone. You want to use the emperor to command the princes, and you want to learn Cao Cao as the emperor behind the scenes, and use this to consolidate the power in your hands. Jiang Xia, do you know your crime!"

"The disguise technique of Jianghu?" The ministers immediately clamored, all of them staring at Zhu Zaijiang with wide eyes, trying to see if Zhu Zaijiang's face was really disguised.

Jiang Xia snorted coldly and said, "Cui Zhengyi, do you think that if you bring someone similar to the emperor, you can disrupt the emperor's ruling ceremony? Come on, take down Cui Zhengyi and the thief he brought!"

As soon as Jiang Xia finished speaking, Xiao Sha, Qian Juexing, Bu Jinyun and other masters immediately flashed out from all corners of the main hall, and everyone rushed towards Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu, preparing to kill the two of them with one blow.

But at this point, Cui Zhengyi and Miao Renhu dared to appear here, so how could they not rely on anything? A loud shout came from outside the gate of the main hall: "What? Jiang Xia, do you want to kill someone to silence?"

While speaking, a man flew into the main hall with more than 20 people. The person in charge was Qiu Wenshi.

Qiu Wenshi's body technique was extremely fast. He flashed and even blocked Xiao Sha's sword with his skill of using empty hands.

Jiang Xia was even more shocked at this moment. Qiu Wenshi's martial arts were so good?

The two sides fought together, and Jiangxia protected Zhu Zaijiang behind him.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang...

A series of gunfire sounded, and Jiang Xia understood as soon as he heard this. This was the sound of the Shenji Camp, which was in charge of the capital's firearm, attacking the Taimiao.

After a while, Zhong Bin, holding a long sword and injured his shoulder, ran into the Taimiao. After seeing Jiang Xia, Zhong Bin said in a deep voice: "Retreat! Half of the Jinyiwei people have rebelled!"
Chapter completed!
