Troubled Times: Added six doors at the beginning, pushing the world horizontally

Chapter 169
When Zhaoyang was born, a big sun slowly rose on the horizon, which also made the city that had been silent for a long time become lively.

"when!"

"when!"

When the giant clock in Yanjing City struck seven times, everyone realized that the Ascension to Heaven Banquet had begun.

This is also a common practice. When the Ascension to Heaven Banquet is held, the bell rings seven times.

As for the nine chimes of the bell, that is only at the funeral of the emperor and the enthronement of the new emperor.

For a moment, all the people in the rivers and lakes in the streets and alleys rushed towards the direction of Dengtian Pavilion.

There is no specific quota limit for the "Ascension to Heaven Banquet", let alone nationality, except for the Golden Horde, anyone can participate.

If you can perform well at the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, you can be recruited by the court, and you can also get generous rewards at the Ascension to Heaven Banquet.

Although many people in the arena scolded the imperial court as eagles and dogs, for many people with no background and no affiliation, when there was a real opportunity to join the imperial court and even become famous in front of them, they would definitely not miss it.

Even many big factions in the world will send people here.

This is also the reason why all parties are sent to review.

Maybe there will be one or two talented people, and no one wants to miss them.

At this time, on the open space in front of Dengtian Pavilion, huge arenas have already been built, more than a dozen of them.

As for the people from all sides, they have already been invited into the Dengtian Pavilion.

At the top of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, there are the royal family of Yan Kingdom, diplomatic missions from various countries, and people from all major forces in the world.

As for those who are slightly worse, they can only go down the floors below the Ascension to Heaven Pavilion.

These people are all invited by the invitation, and they can also participate.

People from the Golden Horde sat aside, but Wanyan Qizhang's expression was particularly gloomy.

People in their mission were assassinated, and they knew who the murderer was, but they still pretended not to know.

On the Ascension to Heaven Pavilion, people from various forces came one after another.

The princes who have lived in the capital for a long time, the princes who often don't show their faces, have also rushed here at this moment.

These princes also intend to recruit outstanding talents at the Ascension to Heaven Banquet.

Xia Xingyi strode forward, followed by the elders of the Shushan Sword Sect.

Xia Xingyi had no intention of hiding the Shushan Sword Sect's support for him.

This is also how he shows his strength to the outside world.

A single Shushan Sword Sect may not be able to determine the future crown prince, but it will undoubtedly greatly increase his bargaining chips.

With the Shushan Sword School, one of the Five Swords, as a card, Xia Xingyi has attracted many people from the Jianghu.

Although Jianghu Zongmen and the imperial court are in opposition, but in the face of huge interests, the so-called antagonism naturally does not exist.

Seeing Xia Xingyi coming, everyone bowed their hands and saluted.

"Meet the second prince!"

Xia Xingyi just nodded slightly, then sat down in his own seat, slowly glanced around, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Not long after, the sound of saluting came from all around.

Xia Xingyi opened his eyes slightly, and there was already a person standing in front of him, who cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Second brother!"

The person who came was the third prince Xia Xingye.

The corners of Xia Xingyi's mouth slightly raised, revealing a playful smile, and said lightly: "Third brother, I heard that your Wanhua Pavilion was smashed?"

Everyone around was ashamed.

This one really deliberately slapped the Third Prince in the face.

The smile on Xia Xingye's face froze, his tone softened a bit, and he said calmly, "I won't bother my second brother about this matter."

A teasing smile appeared on Xia Xingyi's face, and he gave Xia Xingye a playful look.

Although he hated Shen Du very much, he felt that Shen Du did the right thing about the Wanhua Pavilion and it fit his wishes.

Xia Xingye didn't say anything more, but walked to the side seat with a cold expression and sat down.

At this time, a childish voice suddenly came from outside.

"This year's Ascension to Heaven Banquet seems to be more lively!"

As the voice fell, a figure like a romantic son walked in from outside.

The visitor looked only about fifteen or sixteen years old, and he was dressed in white, making him extremely handsome and extraordinary.

Everyone saluted one after another: "I have seen the Ninth Prince!"

Xia Xingye and Xia Xingyi also turned their heads to look at the past.

They also didn't like this old nine!
Relying on being the youngest and being favored by the empress, he often enters the palace and seems to be the youngest, but they know very well that their ninth younger brother is far from being as harmless as he seems.

There are a lot of scheming city mansions.

Facing everyone's salutes, Xia Xingwen also respectfully returned them one by one.

Xia Xingwen smiled all over his face, stepped forward quickly, and saluted respectfully: "I have seen the two imperial brothers!"

Xia Xingye nodded with a smile: "Ninth brother came quite early today."

No matter how unhappy they are, in front of outsiders, they will still have an image of "brothers and friends respecting each other".

Xia Xingwen shook his head and said with a smile: "Brother Prince has an order, how dare Xingwen neglect it."

The second prince Xia Xingyi glanced at Xia Xingwen, then looked away.

Originally, it is enough to send someone to come for this kind of thing, but who knows what that sick man thinks, he has to let all of them come.

Not long after Xia Xingwen arrived, the other princes also came one after another.

However, the Fifth Prince did not come. He left the capital some time ago, and everyone knew this.

For these princes, they wished that the fifth prince would never come back after leaving Beijing, which meant that they lost a competitor.

Although the prince's physical condition has been concealed, how could they not know that he can't last long.

Once the crown prince is ill, the position of supervisor will inevitably fall on a certain prince.

Among the crowd, the most promising are the second prince Xia Xingyi and the third prince Xia Xingye.

The reason why they hate the Ninth Prince is because the queen will become a variable.

Today's queen is not the prince's biological mother, but was selected by Emperor Yan from among the concubines to be in charge of the harem.

In history, there are not no examples of queens listening to government affairs.

After waiting for a long time, a person walked slowly under the stairs of Dengtian Pavilion. He was dressed in a black gown suit, which was extremely luxurious, and there was a sense of majesty around him.

There were several eunuchs by his side, one of them was Lu Chengen.

Seeing the person coming, everyone stood up and saluted: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince!"

Xia Jingyi smiled slightly, and said softly: "Sit down, this is not the court, so don't be cautious."

While speaking, he walked slowly to the frontmost position.

Everyone looked at Xia Jingyi with strange expressions in their eyes.

In previous years, the crown prince seldom participated in the Ascension to Heaven Banquet, but this time he actually appeared in person.

At this time, Shen Du, who was below, also stepped onto the high platform.

Shen Du is one of the persons in charge of this "Ascension to Heaven Banquet", and he is also in charge of the host of this "Ascension to Heaven Banquet".

It is not suitable for the Ministry of Rites to preside over such a grand event related to Jianghu. In the past, people from the six sects would preside over it. This time, the crown prince hand-picked Shen Du, so naturally there was no such spot among the six sects.

You must know that being able to host the Ascension to Heaven Banquet is not a bad thing, but a thing that can become famous.

This is also a qualification!
Shen Du walked up to the high platform and said in a deep voice: "Thank you all heroes from all over the world for coming to my Dayan's Ascension to Heaven Banquet. Everyone knows the rules, but this time there are some changes."

"The rules of the martial arts competition at the Ascension to Heaven Banquet. Anyone who enters the ring will be counted by the number of times he has defended the ring!"

"For those who can survive three rounds, His Royal Highness has already prepared a generous gift."

"If you can survive five games, the reward will be doubled!"

"If you can survive ten games, you can enter the top floor of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet. In addition to rewards, the imperial court will satisfy one of your requirements within its capabilities."

"The challenger in the ring must not be higher than the two realms of the defender."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the field, and there were many discussions.

This is much different from the rules of the Ascension to Heaven Banquet in previous years.

In the past years of the Climbing to Heaven Banquet, the people on the list were basically challenging each other, and this event was also used to re-establish the ranking on the list.

Many people with lower realms don't even have the chance to come to power.

Those who dare to go to the ring are naturally not simple people. If they want to survive three rounds, there may be many people who can do it, but if they want to survive more than five rounds, it will be more difficult.

Because even if you succeed in the challenge, you still need to persist for more than five rounds, and nothing will change because of the success of the challenge.

This kind of wheel battle, if you don't have a deep foundation and true energy, you won't be able to persevere at all.

As for the ten-rounders, I am afraid that there are not many to be found.

Only those monsters at the top of the human list can, and this also has a huge risk.

After reaching the fourth round, if a stronger person appears, all the efforts will undoubtedly be in vain.

But in this way, even those with a slightly lower level have a chance to get rewards.

At this moment, in the Dengtian Pavilion, all the people watching the ceremony are also discussing this matter.

For this rule, everyone was completely unexpected.

Because of this, the plans of many people will undoubtedly fail.

In previous years' Ascension to Heaven Banquet, many rewards had already been reserved secretly.

Someone subconsciously looked at the prince Xia Jingyi, and seeing his calm expression, he immediately understood that this was agreed by the prince a long time ago.

Xia Jingyi did already know about it, which is one of the reasons why he asked Shen Du to take responsibility.

Shen Du clapped his hands, and immediately a group of eunuchs came from the audience holding trays, on which were the rewards for this ascension to heaven banquet.

Great Returning Pill treasured by Shaolin!

Rare treasure medicine!

Protective mail!
Various precious medicines.

Especially one of them made everyone's hearts throbbing and their eyes burning hot.

God soldier!

It was a fiery red long sword with a blood red gem inlaid on the hilt.

Everyone is well aware of how much a good magic weapon can help a warrior himself.

The reason why the Ascension to Heaven Banquet can attract countless people every time is because of the generous rewards given by the Yan Kingdom.

Magic skills, magic weapons, as long as you have the ability, you can get them.

It's just that the rules have changed this time, and it may be even more difficult to obtain a magic weapon.

Different from the others, on the Dengtian Pavilion, the Shaolin monks who were invited to come saw the divine sword on the stage, but their eyes were slightly lowered.

——Bloodthirsty Sword!
It is indeed a magic weapon, but it is also an unknown weapon.

This sword was originally suppressed in the temple of Shaolin, but later Emperor Yan took it away and became a treasure of the royal family.

Seeing the bloodthirsty sword again now, everyone in Shaolin was naturally depressed.

In the whole world, there are absolutely not many people who dare to snatch things from Shaolin.

That Emperor Yan was the first!
Even though Shaolin doesn't use this kind of evil soldiers, they already thought it was Shaolin's property, how could they be willing to be robbed of it?
Shen Du looked around for a week, then walked down the high platform and walked towards the Tianlou.

As for the next trivial matters, the East Palace will be responsible.

With the sound of a big bell, it also means that this grand event that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time is officially held!

　Sorry, the update is a bit late, this rubbish class is a bit of a waste of time, there are still two days left, I will update it hard when it is over, guarantee a minimum of [-] a day, and add updates on this basis.
