Heaven rewards those who work hard: There is no bottleneck in my martial arts

The enthronement ceremony of the Wei Kingdom has always been held outside the city. This is the ancestral method.

If Zhao Hongming were an ordinary prince, there would be no possibility of changing this ancestral system and he could only abide by it.

But Zhao Hongming is obviously not an ordinary prince.

In Zhao Hongming's eyes, it was unwise for successive Wei kings to abandon the impregnable palace and choose to hold grand ceremonies outside the city for the so-called royal face and to demonstrate their national power in front of other countries.

He, Zhao Hongming, does not need to be like this.

So for the sake of safety, he, who had always been cautious, finally decided to hold the enthronement ceremony in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, which was protected by the National Defense Formation.

In this way, if he is in the palace, if anyone wants to harm him, he will have powerful means to deal with it.

His safety is also greatly guaranteed.

To a certain extent, the altar set up outside the city was not a deliberate attempt by him to paralyze others, but rather a compromise to a certain extent, and the act of beheading first and telling the story later.

The information Ji Guofu sent back only strengthened his decision.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

Under the leadership of Chang Wubing, thousands of Imperial Guard soldiers, wearing brand new and bright armor and holding sharp weapons, lined up neatly from all over the palace and lined up in the main hall square.

These imperial guards are all accomplished martial artists, and most of them are at the Aperture Realm.

Hundreds of people standing in key positions have even reached the innate realm.

Their postures were upright, their eyes were firm, and their bodies were full of energy and blood, making the Hall of Supreme Harmony feel as warm as spring.

Looking from a distance, we can see rows of soldiers arrayed in front. The scene is spectacular and full of the majesty of a great country.

As time went by, invited martial arts forces, civil and military officials, diplomatic missions from various countries, princes and nobles and other celebrities entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony one after another.

When they entered the square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, they were immediately struck by the solemn scene in front of them, with a trace of emotion on their faces.

After the six generations of Wei kings worked hard to govern the Wei State, today, judging from its climate, it is no weaker than the Great Chu State.

The square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony occupies a huge area. The courtiers will stand in the front of the square in order of their official rank, and the envoys from various countries will be lined up on the side.

Behind the messenger were crowds of martial artists from different martial arts forces who had been invited to watch the ceremony.

These warriors form groups according to the strength of their respective forces.

At this time, they were crowded, whispering to each other, and talking about Zhao Hongming who was about to ascend the throne.

"The new emperor of Wei has invited me here for the first time. This is an unprecedented first time. I am vulgar and only know how to kill people. This is my first time in such a magnificent place." A martial artist licked his lips and said excitedly: "I really want to kill the Emperor of Wei, loot the palace, and bring him back to the door."

The martial artist next to him sneered: "Are you used to killing people outside? Believe it or not, with your cultivation level, you will die without a burial place before you take action in this palace."

"Even if we can really sack this palace, it won't be your turn. Those top martial arts forces are not freeloaders."

"So what if I'm at the top again? I'm afraid the Zhengyi Sect won't be able to defeat the current King of Wei in the future."

Many warriors were silent.

They all heard about the turmoil in Zhengyimen.

Having an emperor with such advanced cultivation and great ambitions is not good news for martial arts forces like them.

Maybe in a few years, His Majesty the King of Wei will change the old system and take action against martial arts forces like them.

When they thought of this, these martial arts forces all made their decisions secretly.

If Zhao Hongming decides to take advantage of them, they share the same hatred and must not let him succeed.

Amidst the discussion, at the entrance of the main hall of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a minister, a singer, and a master of ceremonies walked out of the hall.

Xiao Boling had the most prestige among the officials and was appointed as the official in charge of the petition, while Li Li, as Zhao Hongming's newly promoted minister, was appointed as the official in charge of the petition.

The two of them, along with other important figures such as the ceremonial officer and etiquette officer, followed the master of ceremonies and others with solemn expressions.

When these people appeared in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the noise in the square gradually weakened and became quiet.

The master of ceremonies raised his hand.

Chang Wubing understood, and according to the previous arrangement, he appeared majestically in front of the imperial guards wearing golden armor and holding a long sword.

He shouted loudly: "Emperor Wei, the enthronement ceremony begins!"

Immediately afterwards, the imperial guards in the square shouted in unison: "Emperor Wei, the enthronement ceremony begins!"

The shouts of more than two thousand people made those present feel an invisible majesty and shock.

Musicians and dancers in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony played the elegant music of Wei Dynasty, making the atmosphere in the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony particularly solemn.

Amidst the sound of music playing, Zhao Hongming slowly walked out of the Hall of Supreme Harmony step by step and appeared in the sight of everyone present.

Zhao Hongming looked around and saw the civil and military troops of the Manchu Dynasty and the imperial guards, and he couldn't help but feel a sense of ambition and pride.

When he saw the envoys from various countries again, a strange emotion flashed through his heart.

This emotion is so secret that it would be impossible to detect it unless someone is careful.

With the guidance and assistance of many officials including the Yin Li Guan, Zhao Hongming walked to the temporary circular mound built in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony to prepare to offer sacrifices to heaven.

Sacrifice to heaven is a very important step in the ascension of the Wei emperor to the throne, and it needs to be carried out on the circular hill in a fixed place.

The Circular Qiu is a three-story circular stone platform made entirely of white stone. It is as white as snow and faces south. It represents the three realms of heaven, earth and man.

The uppermost layer is nine feet in diameter, the middle layer is fifteen feet, and the bottom layer is twenty-one feet in diameter.

Each floor is surrounded by stone railings, and the three floors of railings form a total of [-] pieces, symbolizing "[-] degrees of circumference".

Generally, this ceremony is to pay respect to the gods and pray for good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

After doing this ceremony, it means that the emperor begins to assume the responsibilities of the family and the country.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone in the square, Zhao Hongming, wearing a dragon robe and holding a jade gui, climbed up to the Circular Mound Altar step by step, presented offerings and prayed for blessings on the Circular Mound Altar.

He also bowed three times and kowtowed nine times to heaven according to etiquette.

Throughout the whole process of offering sacrifices to heaven, there was music and dance, with a somewhat sacred meaning, and no one made any noise.

The participants were all very serious and pious, as if they were worried that if they failed in any way, God would be angry and impose greater punishment.

However, as the person involved, Zhao Hongming was somewhat disdainful of this.

He already knew that the human sacrifices of the Yin State and the collapse of heaven were closely related to this "heaven".

If "Heaven" has a will, it must be selfish.

If you really encounter a critical moment, you still have to rely on yourself.

In time, when the power is strong enough, he will also try to suppress this "heaven", and then re-formulate new heavenly rules according to his will.

After the ceremony, Zhao Hongming walked to the designated position in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, surrounded by the master of ceremonies and many officials.

Xiao Boling, as a watch-bearing official, knelt down and held the imperial edict of enthronement, gesturing for Zhao Hongming to take it.

Zhao Hongming took the edict of enthronement with a calm face, spread it out and read: "Inherited by heaven, the edict is issued to the world. I carry on the legacy of my ancestors and am determined to inherit the favor of heaven and share the blessings of the world. Now that I have inherited the throne, I issue the edict to express my gratitude. The wishes of the late king. From now on, I shall be the emperor of Wei State, changing the Yuan Dynasty to Jianwu.

From now on, I will govern the country diligently and live up to the destiny entrusted by heaven, hoping to create a new situation in Wei. I hope that all the subjects will respect the imperial edict and work together for the great cause. Admire this! "

The civil, military and imperial guards of the Manchu Dynasty shouted continuously: "Long live. Long live. Long live."

Everyone shouted in unison, the sound resounded through the sky, and the scene was extremely spectacular.

Zhao Hongming placed the imperial edict on the throne in the hands of the official Li Li. Then amid the mountain's call, he walked step by step to the dragon throne that represented the royal authority of the Wei Kingdom, turned around and sat down slowly.

He stared ahead with an indomitable spirit.

"I pay my respects to Emperor Wei Wu. Tianfu is virtuous and Haiyu Xianning."

Xiao Bochuan led all officials to come to Zhao Hongming and bowed down.

"I will pay my respects to Emperor Wei Wu."

"..."

Zhao Hongming, who was sitting on the dragon throne, began to accept the kneeling of Wei's ministers.

After a long time, Zhao Hongming opened and closed his lips and said solemnly: "Sit down."

At this point, the main procedures for the enthronement ceremony of the new emperor of the Wei Kingdom have basically been completed.

The rest are all trivial things that reward hundreds of officials and forgive the world.

After these trivial matters were completed, the master of ceremonies sang: "Envoys from various countries have come to see Emperor Jianwu of the Great Wei Kingdom!"

"Envoys from various countries met with Emperor Jianwu of the Great Wei State."

"..."

A sentence came out from the door of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The elite martial arts forces from various countries who were mixed in the mission were all shocked when they heard the summons.

coming!

Some of their acquaintances exchanged glances with each other in private.

The current situation is somewhat different from what they had expected at the beginning.

Zhao Hongming suddenly changed the location of his enthronement, completely disrupting their plans.

They didn't know whether to take action or not.

For a moment, before they could think clearly, the Wei officials who greeted them had already come over to greet them.

The envoys from various countries did not come empty-handed. Each country brought more or less rare treasures and beauties to present to the newly enthroned Wei Emperor as a sign of friendship.

There is not much time left for them to think.

Lin Bo, the head of the Heavenly Man who was hiding in the South Korean mission, moved his eyes slightly at this time, taking in all the elite performances sent by other countries, and sighed in his heart.

In an assassination attempt, the most important thing is to be determined and put life and death aside.

Otherwise, an oversight or hesitation will result in losing a good opportunity and putting yourself in a dangerous situation.

When he saw these people hesitating, he knew that they could no longer help him with the assassination.

Under the guidance of Wei officials, the envoys from the five countries came to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Guo was the first to pay homage: "I have met His Majesty King Wu of the State of Wei. Our king ordered me to bring nine beauties and present them to His Majesty to congratulate His Majesty on his accession to the throne."

Hearing that Zhao was gifting beauties, some of Wei's ministers looked at Zhao's envoys with unflattering eyes.

They suspected that Zhao Guo was hiding evil intentions.

But on such an important occasion as the coronation ceremony, it is difficult for them to have an attack.

The status of women in this world is not high, and many nobles like to keep beautiful maids as gifts for their friends or to attach themselves to more noble people.

Among them, the beauties of Zhao State are the most famous.

Zhao Hongming expressed his gratitude and accepted it with a smile, "It is said that the Zhao State produces beauties. I hope that the envoy will say hello to Emperor Chengxiang for me." At the same time, he expressed friendship and said, "Our two countries will become good neighbors. From now on, we will become good neighbors." Never fight again."

"I should convey it myself."

Immediately after Zhao, the three kingdoms of Yan, Qi, and Chu presented gifts.

Among them, the one presented by the State of Yan is a divine horse, which has an ancient and exotic breed and can travel three thousand miles in a day without exhausting itself.

What Qi Guo presented was a set of chimes.

What Chu State presented was a priceless piece of jade, which surprised everyone in the Square of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

In fact, when presenting gifts to Zhao Hongming, it was also a good opportunity for various countries to show their national power in front of Wei.

There is no doubt that the Chu State is the strongest among them, and the treasures it donates are also the most valuable.

When Lin Bo saw that all the countries were presenting gifts, there was no movement during the whole process, and he knew the answer in his heart.

His face was as calm as water. Before the Korean envoy could speak, he stepped forward and said first: "I have met His Majesty King Wu of the State of Wei. Our monarch couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard that Your Majesty has received a great treasure. He ordered me to give him a gift." A magic weapon!"

As soon as this statement came out, it caused waves of waves in the Square of Taihe Palace.

"What? South Korea wants to donate a magic weapon?"

"Are they crazy?"

"The quality of South Korea's forged crossbows and weapons is the best among the six countries, but it can't cast magic weapons, right? Even if it is cast, is it just a gift?"

Everyone was in disbelief when they heard this news.

Not only them, but also Zhao Hongming himself was a little surprised.

Under his gaze, Lin Bo, the headmaster of Heavenly Man, took out the sword box from his back, held it in his hands, lowered his head and continued: "This magic weapon is somewhat special and requires special skills to drive it. I hope that your majesty will Allow me to come forward and report in person."

Zhao Hongming smiled.

Seeing that Lin Bo was not wearing the official uniform of an envoy-chief, the envoy who was arrogating to South Korea did not show any signs, so his status was probably a bit unusual.

Plus, if you approach someone deliberately, there must be something wrong in your heart, and it's going to be detrimental to you.

He put away his thoughts and said calmly: "Just stand there and offer the magic weapon. Since the sermon won't reach the ears, you'd better write it down on paper and give it to me."

After hearing what Zhao Hongming said, Tianshangren headmaster Lin Bo was speechless for a moment and could not raise any questions.

I had to agree.

I plan to wait a little longer to see if there is a more suitable time.

Under Zhao Hongming's instructions, a eunuch carrying paper, ink, pen and inkstone walked up to Lin Bo.

Lin Bo casually wrote down on the paper a relatively rare martial art in their sect that could increase the speed of movement without changing his expression.

Soon he copied out the martial arts and handed it over.

"Your Majesty, I am already well."

"Bring it up and show it to me."

A eunuch took the initiative to take away the papers and other items with martial arts written on them, and delivered them to Zhao Hongming.

Zhao Hongming picked up the martial arts skills copied by Lin Bo, placed them in front of him, and read them carefully.

Lin Bo immediately discovered an excellent opportunity at the foot of the steps.

He no longer hesitated and immediately opened the sword box, his soul moving.

The magic weapon lying in the sword box suddenly seemed to come alive, turned into a silver light, and stabbed Zhao Hongming hard. (End of chapter)
