The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 1699 New Year's Eve
Of course, even with the skills of the priests of the Shadow Palace, there are still people who were killed or captured during the assassination.

After all, none of their assassins were ordinary characters, at least they were people of the Yuan Dynasty's feudal official level.It is not uncommon for these characters to have hidden quack masters who work for money or for other reasons.Even if it is the Military Intelligence Department and Skynet, it is impossible to investigate clearly.

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

Thinking about it, it is hard for these priests who were counter-killed not to expose the identity of Wudingtang Shadow Hall.

This is not to say that the priests of the Shadow Palace have any special signs and tokens, but because apart from the Song Dynasty, no other country can have such a big hand.

The next day.

In the Yuan Dynasty, many important cities in northern Xinjiang were almost like chickens flying like dogs.

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

Those who were assassinated were all powerful officials in a certain province or road, and they could shake the place twice by stomping their feet.Now that he has become a cold corpse, one can imagine how much commotion there will be.

It was just getting dark, and when it was still dark, many fast horses hurried out of the cities in the major cities in the hinterland of northern Xinjiang in the Yuan Dynasty, heading towards the capital of Yuanzhong.

The same is true for those cities where even the most important people survived by chance.

Regardless of whether he was assassinated or successfully escaped the assassination, the news should reach the emperor as quickly as possible.

In fact, the people in each city didn't know that officials in other cities were also assassinated, but officials at the level of feudal officials were assassinated, which was enough to make them nervous.

And at this moment, Zhao Dongting was leading all the officials to the Temple of Heaven and the ancestral hall to pray for blessings in Changsha City.

This is what he will do in the morning. When the new year comes, he will pray to the heaven and the earth, and then he will pray to the ancestors like the Zhao family for generations.

As for the afternoon, Zhao Dongting was going to visit retired and non-retired officials such as Lu Xiufu and Zhang Shijie in Changsha City.In addition, there are the heads of state.

For dinner, the officials will be entertained in the palace.

Really, as long as the New Year's Eve passes, Zhao Dongting's life will be much busier immediately.

There is not much to say about praying at the Temple of Heaven and the ancestral hall, and it is not much different from previous years.It's just that this time they brought the Imperial Forest Army and the Forbidden Army, without the escort of the Feilong Army.

The Imperial Forest Army is a new branch created by Zhao Dongting, which was separated from the Forbidden Army.

In the past, the Forbidden Army coordinated the internal guards of the palace and protected the emperor, empress, princes and other members of the royal family.But now, this is the task of the Royal Forest Army.

To put it simply, the Imperial Forest Army is actually Zhao Dongting's personal soldiers.They are all the outstanding ones selected from the Forbidden Army, and all of them have a cultivation level no lower than that of the Lower Origin Realm.

The process of offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestral halls is complicated and somewhat boring.Especially those who traveled over like Zhao Dongting, they are even less interested in offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple.

Even in his heart, instead of offering sacrifices to these past emperors, it is actually better to pay homage to those soldiers who died for the Song Dynasty.

Best of course is to try to keep pace, but it's not an easy thing to do.Unless Zhao Dongting just paid homage to those soldiers from afar, it would be more or less the same.

And Zhao Dongting did exactly that.

When he was offering sacrifices to natural enemies and ancestral temples, what he was actually thinking about were Liu Fu, Zhang Xizai, Ge Xiuhong, Ge Lichun, Yan Mingling, civil servants and generals who sacrificed their lives for the country, Zhang Tiandong, Yuan Xiuzi, Chen Yidao , King Kong, and Kong Qiangu, the righteous fighters who died for the country and society of the Song Dynasty, and countless martyrs who died in the struggle of the Song Dynasty and other countries.

It is because of their existence that Da Song was able to develop to where it is today.Speaking of it, praying to the ancestral hall of heaven and earth is a bit illusory.

At least Zhao Dongting himself did not believe that this would be due to blessings.

If praying for blessings is so useful, the previous Song emperors probably believed in gods and ancestors more than he did.That being the case, why did the Song Dynasty fall to the precarious state?
In fact, even Lu Xiufu, Wang Wenfu and the people who followed Zhao Dongting could see that Zhao Dongting was being perfunctory, but they just smiled wryly in their hearts and dared not say anything.

The emperor was always independent, and now all the ladies have to change the situation accordingly.They all feel that it is better to say less and do more.

Furthermore, the emperor is not something that should be honored and humiliated, there is really no need to make trouble.

Unless Yushitai couldn't understand what the emperor did, Lu Xiufu and the other old officials probably wouldn't care about Zhao Dongting's private life.

This kind of prestige is not accumulated overnight.

Even if Yushitai impeached Zhao Dongting, there is still Mingjingtai.If it weren't for the situation that couldn't be changed even at Yushitai, they probably wouldn't have much Zhao Dongting.

The whole process of offering sacrifices to heaven and earth is a bit boring.Zhao Dongting's expression will be more solemn when he thinks of those comrades who are clear or vague in his mind.

After the ceremonies of offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and ancestors, everyone went back to their homes 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 into clothes, and then headed out of the palace in a golden chariot.

On this occasion of the New Year, and in Changshazi City, he was not worried about his own safety.It's no joke that Skynet and Wudingtang spread out so many people.

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

There were quite a few people passing by on the roadside, and they were all qualified to pay New Year's greetings to the people living in this sub-city.Of course, it is also possible that they are people from Zicheng themselves and visit each other.

When they saw Zhao Dongting's chariot passing by, they all knelt down on the ground.Only occasionally a few daring ones would look up at Zhang Dongting.

And Zhao Dongting was surrounded by curtains, which obviously gave them a feeling of looking at flowers in a fog.

From the original Lu Xiufu's family to those high officials who still live in Zicheng.Finally, I went to pay New Year's greetings at the mansions of those high-ranking veterans of the Song Dynasty who moved to the inner city.

It cannot be said that Zhao Dongting went to pay New Year's greetings to them purely because they were old heroes in the past.In fact, these people still have good energy.

The relationship between all the powers in the Song Dynasty can be described as intricate, and even Zhao Dongting didn't make it very clear.But he knew that it was more important than anything else for these people to maintain their dedication to the court.The common people are easy to talk about, but the officialdom of the Song Dynasty must be composed of people who have firm beliefs and work hard for the Song Dynasty.

One afternoon, just like this.

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

Just now it was Zhao Dongting who gave them New Year's greetings, and now they dragged their families to the palace for a party, and congratulated the emperor and the ladies on the New Year's Eve.
