"Chichi!"

Nodding vigorously, Ajie turned into a puddle of black ink again, and then disappeared in front of Chen Yu.

After watching Ajie disappear, Chen Yu sighed and put on a mask.

"Now that you have made a choice, you must be prepared to pay the consequences."

He folded his sleeves with his hands, murmured in a low voice, and then walked slowly towards the palace.

.......

Year 431: Chen Yu, I’m sorry! Someone wants to molest me!

Taimiao.

Emperors of the past dynasties used it to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and visit heaven and earth.

Except for the annual ceremony to worship heaven, very few people come here.

But today, this Ancestral Temple, which is rarely visited by people on weekdays, is overcrowded.

"Master Di, do you know what this festival means?"

"Master Chen, don't ask me, Di is still confused now."

"It's strange. The ceremony to worship the heaven is not held during the winter solstice. Why is the ceremony to be held just after autumn has just begun?"

Because the time had not yet arrived, and because this ancestor worship was too strange, many ministers stood in the square in front of the front hall and talked about it.

Rolling his eyes at Mr. Chen who asked the question, Di Renjie shook his head and expressed that he had nothing to do with this matter.

Although he said this, he also had some guesses in his heart.

If the guess is correct, this ancestor worship is very likely to be related to the woman who put him in the scroll.

But he wasn't sure how closely they were related.

Standing in the crowd, Fang Yushu listened to the conversations around him without any expression on his face.

The emperor did not explain the reason for this ancestor worship.

But after a while, everyone will know the significance of today's ancestor worship ceremony.

and also.

Looking around, Fang Yushu didn't see Li Taibai.

He narrowed his eyes and sighed inwardly.

His insiders had already learned that An Ziyue had been kidnapped, but not long ago, Li Taibai had already taken An Ziyue back to the imperial city.

Jin Yiwei found Li Taibai.

But she still didn't come.

His Majesty clearly asked Li Taibai to participate in this ceremony, but the other party completely ignored him.

It seems that after this ceremony, the conflict between Li Taibai and His Majesty is bound to escalate again.

As the ministers talked quietly and Fang Yushu lowered his eyes and waited, time passed by minute by minute.

soon.

The sky gradually darkened.

There was fire burning in the sky, the blue sky was dyed desolate, and a few rays of starlight peeked out, blinking at the world.

Under the sky that gradually changed from crimson to dark, a man wearing royal robes slowly walked out of the hall.

"Oh!"

The fire exploded and made a violent sound.

"The Emperor is here!"

Amidst the sharp shouts, the incense burner in the square suddenly burst into dazzling fire.

Like a raging fire starting a prairie fire, the fire instantly lit up half of the sky in the Ancestral Temple.

"His Majesty!"

The ministers stood still and bowed neatly to the indifferent man on the high platform.

Looking at the people in the audience indifferently, Wei Yanhou looked around, and immediately narrowed his eyes when he found that Li Taibai did not come.

His eyes moved slightly, and after seeing Fang Yushu shaking his head, his expression suddenly became darker.

Li Taibai, I give you a chance.

With a cold snort, Wei Yanhou waved his hand and said in a deep voice.

"The festival begins."

shouted the eunuch responsible for delivering the message.

"The auspicious time has arrived, the festival begins!"

However, unexpectedly, after the eunuch finished shouting, Feng Chang, who was responsible for the ancestor worship operation, did not make any move.

In this regard, Wei Yanhou seemed to acquiesce.

He just stood silently on the high platform, waiting for something silently.

——Tat Tat Tat!

Neat and orderly footsteps sounded.

Under the confused gazes of the ministers, several guards wearing black armor appeared from the front door and then surrounded the entire square in an orderly manner.

"what happened?"

"Isn't this Baidiwei? Why are they here?"

"Is this really a festival?"

Immediately afterwards, several more people in brocade clothes suddenly appeared from around the Ancestral Temple and silently surrounded the Ancestral Temple.

This time,

Everyone couldn't stand anymore.

Forget about the White Emperor's Guard, they are the emperor's personal guards after all.

But why is Jin Yiwei here too?

"quiet!"

At this time, Wei Yanhou spoke.

He glanced coldly at the people under the Ancestral Temple who had become quiet again, and then waved again.

"Bring the stuff right away!"

"Here!"

A guard agreed and walked into the front hall. When he came out again, he had a scroll in his hand.

"Your Majesty, this is what you want."

After handing the scroll to Wei Yanhou, the guards returned to the team again.

The flames of the furnace became stronger and stronger, and the light reaching into the sky made the Ancestral Temple look as bright as day.

The ancient cypresses and pines that have grown for hundreds of years around the Imperial Ancestral Temple seem to be truly burning under the fiery red light.

Hold the scroll in hand and hold it high.

Looking at the silent ministers, his deep eyes were ignited by the flames, and Wei Yanhou smiled.

"My lords, I understand your confusion at the moment, but soon you will know why I have summoned you all today."

"Do you know how I, the Great Flame, was born thousands of years ago?"

"Evil spirits are everywhere and the gods are in chaos."

"At that time, all living beings in Great Yan were just ants. The lives of my people in Great Yan were in dire straits. Everywhere you looked, there were bones and corpses everywhere."

"Do you know about this?"

In response to the emperor's question, the ministers looked at each other and were speechless.

As the ministers of Dayan, they naturally know the founding history of Dayan.

But evil spirits are everywhere and gods are in chaos. Aren't these all fabricated to highlight the founding emperor?

The history book recording the deeds of the founding emperor was probably fabricated by the historians at that time to highlight the emperor's achievements, right?

Gods and evil spirits only exist in stories.

These are the thoughts of most ministers.

But Di Renjie had different ideas.

If the records in the history books were false, he didn't think that Emperor Dayan would say these things.

But if true.

Di Renjie's heart skipped a beat.

After a moment of silence, he took a step forward.

"What does your Majesty mean by saying that today's festival has anything to do with the evil gods?"

Casting an appreciative look at Di Renjie, Wei Yanhou nodded.

"Indeed."

Wei Yanhou's words made everyone fall into silence.

God?

Does that thing really exist?

Except for the crackling sound of the burning furnace, the entire Ancestral Temple was completely silent.

Looking around at the ministers who had lost the ability to speak, Wei Yanhou took a step forward.
