high official

Chapter 863

On such a grand festival, Zhu Di also brought his harem concubines, princes and grandsons, clan ministers, ministers, and civil and military ministers to Chengtian Gate, held a banquet on the tower, and enjoyed lanterns to show that he shared the joy with the people.Looking at the magnificent and magnificent mountains of lights on the Milky Way-like Tianjie Yudao, listening to the sound of firecrackers, gongs and drums, and the cheers of all people, Zhu Di felt very happy.

At this time, the grandson Zhu Zhanji offered auspiciousness at the right time, and the emperor was even more joyful with a very resounding laugh.Seeing the emperor's rare high spirits, Zhao Wang and others naturally tried their best to make fun of him, full of witty words, and tried their best to make the emperor happy.Zhu Di was amused by the laughter, but the emperor was not so happy... Although he tried his best to remind himself not to look at the crown prince, but Zhu Di couldn't help but glance at Zhu Gaochi who was sitting on the left...

As expected, His Highness the Crown Prince was looking solemnly at the lights below the city tower, with a worried look on his face, as if he was not looking at the lights, but the flames of war.

'Humph...' After enduring it again and again, the emperor still couldn't help but snorted coldly.Although this sound was not loud, in the ears of Zhao Wang and others who were always paying attention to the emperor, it still overwhelmed the noisy sound.Everyone fell silent and looked at the emperor anxiously.

"Since you are sitting on pins and needles, why did you come here?" Zhu Di looked at the prince coldly, and the atmosphere on the tower suddenly reached freezing point.

The prince was silent for a moment, then got up and said: "I didn't intend to spoil the interest of my father, I am really worried that there will be some unrest tonight..."

"Haha!" Zhu Di said with a strange smile: "The prince said, it's not a disappointment, you can be trusted?"

"Hehe..." Zhao Wang and the others laughed dryly, and many people felt gloating about their misfortune.

"Father, calm down," Zhao Wang pretended to persuade, "His Royal Highness, worry about the world's worries first, and enjoy the world's happiness later. This is the blessing of the community!"

"Fart!" Zhao Wang didn't say that, but Zhu Di put down the ivory chopsticks and said angrily: "He is clearly trying to displease me! Isn't it because the move of the capital is not in his favor?! "The more the emperor spoke, the more angry he became. Obviously, he suppressed the anger in his heart long ago, and he was on the verge of firing: "He disobeyed me time and time again! He provoked me in different ways! What kind of heart does His Royal Highness have? Isn't it true? Only if you want to piss me off to death will you feel at ease!"

As soon as the emperor said this, not only the prince, but everyone knelt on the ground, Zhu Diyou said angrily: "It must be like this, he can only ascend the throne if I am so angry!"

"Your Majesty! Do you have any wine?" Jian Yi, Xia Yuanji and other veteran officials were terrified when they heard the words, and they no longer cared about the emperor's anger. Words! This is not the words of the king of a country talking about the prince!" "Your Majesty, are you going to force the prince to death?!"

"How dare I, it is he who wants to force me to death!" Zhu Di burst out, and his heart was not so blocked. Besides, today is the grand meeting of Shangyuan, not an occasion for seizures.Just as he was about to find the steps to go down, he glanced at the prince again, and couldn't help the blood rushing up, and said with a muffled voice: "You look at him, do you feel a little guilty?"

Everyone looked at the prince and saw that the prince was kneeling there with neither sadness nor joy on his face, and there was really no expression of fear or shame.

"His Royal Highness must have been scared out of his wits..." Jian Yi hurriedly smoothed things over for the Prince, "Yes, it must be like this!" Then he quickly winked at the Prince, and whispered, "Apologize to Your Majesty!"

"Yes," the prince was also happy, nodded immediately and said: "It's my son who made a mistake, Father, please calm down." Even though he said that, there was still no trace of guilt on his face.Although it would not be said to be perfunctory, but sincerity is also an indisputable fact.

Now, many people have tasted it, the prince and the emperor have broken up... not only the emperor to the prince, but also the prince to the emperor.

Zhu Di stared at the prince firmly, the fireworks all over the sky reflected the emperor's pupils blood red.Everyone can see that Zhu Di's forehead is full of blue veins, and his fists are clenched tightly. This is a sign before the emperor's attack... All the people present are the emperor's close ministers. They have seen it more or less in the previous years. .Every time, the emperor was angry and blood flowed!Every time the sky falls apart, the sun and the moon go dark!

Everyone didn't dare to speak anymore, they lowered their heads, raised their hearts to their throats, anxiously and terrifiedly waiting for the emperor's thunder to strike!
However, I waited and waited, but nothing came... Someone raised his head boldly, but was surprised to see that the anger on the emperor's face had disappeared.It can't be said that it disappeared. If you observe carefully, you can still see the traces of hidden hatred and murderous intent from the corners of the emperor's mouth and eyebrows.For the first time in many years, the emperor suppressed his anger and did not let it out!
"Get up, what are you kneeling for?" Zhu Di's voice also calmed down, as if there was still a hint of bleakness: "Continue to feast!"

Before they had time to think about it, the princes and princes hurriedly got up and returned to their seats as if they had been pardoned.Only the prince is still kneeling there.

"Why are you still kneeling there? Do you want me to help you personally?" Zhu Di glanced at the prince coldly, although his tone was still not kind, but the literal meaning was enough to comfort the courtiers.In any case, the chaos that was about to erupt was passed without any risk...

"Look, Your Majesty!" After the crown prince got up, Huang He hurriedly mobilized the atmosphere and said, "The Aoshan lamp is on!"

Zhu Di and all the ministers also suppressed their chaotic thoughts for the time being, and turned their heads to look at the Aoshan Lantern on Tianjie!

The Aoshan Lantern is the tallest, largest and most magnificent of all the Lantern Mountains. It is 360 feet high and 24 five steps wide. There are two Ao pillars in the middle, [-] feet long. A lamp is called the double dragon title light.In the eyes of people of this age, it is as if a giant peak pierces the sky, and it is so majestic and astonishing!
There are green pines and cypresses, flying bridges and pavilions, thousands of lights and torches, and fairies and rare animals on Dengshan Mountain!The most conspicuous thing is the magnificent treasure hall at the highest point of Dengshan Mountain, which is actually built in imitation of Fengtian Temple!It complements the four big characters of "Long Live the Emperor" formed by five-color jade grids! Once the lights are turned on, it will take away the brilliance of other Dengshan Mountains!

"Good! Good!" The people in the city shouted loudly, and the emperor and ministers in the city were also dazzled, completely shocked by this Aoshan lantern!The unpleasant scene just now seems to have been thrown out of the blue...

The Aoshan Lantern is divided into seven layers, and on each platform, there are nearly a hundred women in fluttering clothes, working together to maintain the normal operation of this huge mountain of lights.Amidst the lights and fireworks, these hundreds of women looked like fairies in a fairyland, attracting the attention of the audience in the city!
Suddenly, a cluster of dense fireworks shot out from all layers of the Aoshan Lantern. After the white smoke passed, Sanskrit sounds rang out. A woman in white dress, white skirt, shawl and long scarf, holding a clean bottle and poplar branches, and the golden light behind her head suddenly stood up. At the top of the Aozhu!
"It's Master Avalokitesvara!" The people at the foot of Mount Ao exclaimed, and then bowed down to Avalokitesvara like a falling wheat field.

"What kind of trick is this?!" On the city tower, Zhu Di was very upset when he saw the people kneeling in front of him and worshiping others, even if that person was playing the role of Guanyin Bodhisattva. What are gods and ghosts doing?!"

"Go!" Huang He hurriedly ordered the little eunuch at the side to ask the chief steward of the Aoshan Lantern to quickly remove the Bodhisattva.

Just as the little eunuch ran down the tower, the crowd burst into even louder exclamations!

It turned out that the Guanyin master waved the poplar branch in his hand and held it on the Aoshan Mountain, and the colorful smoke shrouded the top of the Aoshan Mountain!After the smoke was blown away by the wind, a lantern in the shape of a big rooster, more than two feet high, glittering with golden light, was hoisted from the top of the mountain, and slowly rose to the top of the pillar!

Seeing this scene, His Royal Highness's hair stood on end, Huo Di stood up, pointed at the big golden rooster, his face was pale and pale, and he was speechless for a while.

"Golden rooster singing..." Zhu Zhanji on the side stared wide-eyed, and said in a trembling voice involuntarily: "Heavenly Fire Falling..." After speaking, he screamed, "Quick, catch them!" The voice was full panic!

Without His Highness Taisun's orders, Jin Yiwei has already surrounded the Aoshan Lantern!In order to be safe, Wang Xian arranged Jinyi guards to be on duty beside each lamp mountain!This Aoshan lantern has the largest scale and the most important location!Wang Xian arranged sixty or seventy subordinates here!

Wang Xian had already told his subordinates to memorize the ballad of the White Lotus Sect, so as soon as they saw the golden rooster appearing at the feet of the white-clothed woman, the hundred households of Jin Yiwei who led the team knew that something was wrong. Climb up, subordinates!
That Aoshan Mountain is really too high and too big, it looks ingenious and exquisite from a distance, but if you come to the front, you can only see countless wood and bamboo poles tied together horizontally and vertically, densely packed to the top!How easy is it to climb up? !
Dozens of Jin Yiwei had just climbed halfway, when suddenly there were hidden arrows from all directions!Caught off guard, half of the guards in Jinyi were hit by arrows, screaming and falling down!

However, the screams of fighting inside Aoshan were completely covered by the noisy environment!There are more than a dozen or 10 people on Tianjie, only to hear a solemn and mysterious voice from the mouth of Guanyin on the top of the Aozhu: "The mud comes from the chaos, and the white lotus is flourishing!"

"The silt comes from the chaos, and the white lotus is in full bloom!" On Mount Ao, hundreds of women shouted in unison!

The people at the foot of Mount Ao were all blown up, and many people also shouted together.

On the Chengtian Gate tower, everyone from the emperor to the eunuchs was stunned!No one would have imagined that the demon of the White Lotus Cult would dare to openly provoke her in such a big way in front of the palace in Beijing!
"When the golden rooster sings, the sky fires down! The sky fires down and the demon palace burns!" The woman in white finally said the most crucial sentence!
As soon as the words fell, the golden rooster actually crowed!
'Oh oh oh! '

The cock crowing sound has a terrifying magical power, it can penetrate this noisy environment and reach everyone's ears!

The next moment, countless rockets shot out from Mount Ao, trailing bright yellow trails, across the tower of Chengtian Gate, and shot deep into Da Nei! !
