The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles

The next day, noon.

A large group of people finally arrived at the place of offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, by this time, the wind and snow had not stopped.

Everyone thought that Zhao Qi would wait for the snow to stop before offering sacrifices to the heavens, but to everyone's surprise, Zhao Qi actually sent people to clean up the venue and prepare items for the sacrifices to the heavens.

He wants to pray to the sky against the wind and snow?

Everyone was shocked, but then, their expressions became more exciting.

Some sneered, some worried, some looked on coldly, and some gloated.

The news of Zhao An's death had already spread among the team. For a while, people's hearts fluttered and rumors spread everywhere.

Many thoughts that had been silent for a long time came to mind one after another.

Zhao Qi's move, in the eyes of many people, was because he was in a hurry.

He tried in vain to reverse the unfavorable situation by quickly offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings.

But, is this praying to heaven really so easy to complete?
It was noon at this time, and the wind and snow were still a little light, but with the passage of time, the wind and snow would probably increase again. At that time, let alone offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings, it would be considered lucky to be able to stand still.

Zhao Qi's move is to bring shame on himself!

Therefore, many ministers came to Zhao Qi, hoping that he could wait for the weather to be better before offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, Zhao Qi did not agree, offering sacrifices to the heavens and praying for blessings could not be done at any time, it had to be done on certain specific days, if today was wrong, one would have to wait another ten days.

All the ministers could only sigh and retreat after the fruitless remonstrance.

But what Zhao Qi announced next caused everyone to be in an uproar.

He announced that he was unable to offer sacrifices to the heavens due to his physical condition, and asked Jia Jue to pray for them.

This caused everyone to explode, whether it was the clan or the ministers, they were all in an uproar.

Because offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings has been done by kings of all dynasties since ancient times.

Although Jia Jue was outstanding in all aspects, he was just a courtier, how could he replace Zhao Qi to sacrifice to heaven?
If Zhao Qifei wanted to find someone to replace him, he could definitely choose a clan instead of Jia Jue who couldn't beat him!

For a while, the clan and ministers were excited and wanted to advise Zhao Qi.

However, everyone was stopped by the guards, and no one could see Zhao Qi.

Some ministers with strong personalities even threatened to die. If Zhao Qi didn't see them, they would kneel and die in the snow.

However, Zhao Qi seemed determined not to see them, no matter what they said, he just didn't show his face.

In desperation, these people could only go to Jia Jue, hoping that he would give up praying for blessings instead of Zhao Qi.

However, they also couldn't see Jia Jue, and several handsome soldiers stopped them, saying that Jia Jue was performing a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven and they should not be disturbed.

This made many people very angry, and those who had a bad temper wanted to force their way in.

But these few soldiers did not hesitate to give these people a head-on blow, and knocked down all the people who wanted to break in.

The so-called scholar meets soldier, there is no reason to explain it.

Under the unreasonableness of these soldiers, these people could only freeze in place.

In desperation, they could only use their mouths, Zhao Qi and the others didn't dare to scold, only Jia Jue could scold:

"Jia Jue! How dare you sacrifice to heaven on behalf of His Majesty!"

"Throughout the ages, the emperor of the future can offer sacrifices to the heavens to pray for blessings, Jia Jue! Do you want to be that treacherous person?"

"Jia Jue! In vain you have read the sage books for so many years, don't you understand what can and cannot be done?"

"Jia Jue! Get out of this king! If you want to sacrifice to the heavens on behalf of His Majesty, it is this king who will do it for you! What are you!"

"That's right! I'm waiting for these many clan princes to still be here! How can it be your turn?"

"Your Majesty's words are very true! What are you, Jia Jue? Are you also worthy to sacrifice to heaven on behalf of His Majesty?"

……

The ministers scolded quite elegantly, most of them were just words of advice and reminders, but the scolding of the clan was extremely ugly, and all kinds of obscenities emerged one after another.

Those soldiers who blocked the road showed resentment on their faces, and one of them even had murderous intent in his eyes, and the long knife in his hand was about to be unsheathed.

Fortunately, her companion stopped her.

Seeing their daring to speak out, these people scolded even more vigorously.

And time passed slowly amidst their curses.

Just when the faces of the guards all changed, and they couldn't help it, they suddenly heard the sound of a horn.

The thick and solemn voice shocked everyone.

They looked towards the altar together, only to see a crowd of people praising, the musicians had already taken their positions, and the sacrifices were also placed on the altar.

The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings has begun.

All the people who were still cursing at first shut their mouths. Worshiping the sky is an extremely serious matter. Before the ceremony, they can't be too noisy, but once the ceremony starts, they must strictly follow the etiquette.

Otherwise, if the gods are dissatisfied and the gods punish him, it will be more terrible than beheading.

They hurriedly gathered in front of the sacrifice, found their place according to the etiquette, and stood quietly.

After they stood still, the sound of the music suddenly became louder, and the praises chanted loudly in the sound of music:
"Emperor establishes yin and yang, good fortune unfolds, gods give birth to seven states, essence shines, circles cover squares, signs of prosperity, ministers dare to repay, worship the eagle emperor and the sun emperor..."

This is the song that needs to be sung when worshiping heaven, and when this song is sung, it also means that the worship of heaven has officially begun.

However, this hymn did not bring good results. Just as the hymn was being sung, the sky and the earth seemed to tremble slightly, and the originally bright sky suddenly became dark. Suddenly, there was a strong wind, and heavy snow fell like a goose feather.

The weather turned out to be worse than before!

Witnessing this scene, everyone's expression changed, including Zhao Qi who was watching the ceremony.

Anyone can see that this is definitely not a good sign, and even heaven and earth are angry.

The praisers and musicians were a little flustered, but the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven had already begun, and there was no way to stop it.

So, they could only bite the bullet and continue.

But this has brought about even more terrible consequences. The sky has become extremely gloomy, the clouds are constantly flashing with lightning, the wind is howling even more violently, and what is falling in the sky is not only heavy snow, but also many hailstones.

The scene seemed to be a doomsday scene.

Everyone panicked, no matter if it was ministers, clans, soldiers, concubines, salutes, musicians, or even Zhao Qi.

In the panic, the hymn couldn't stand it anymore, he finished singing the hymn at several times the speed, and shouted:

"Please benevolent waiter to preside over the ceremony of worshiping heaven and praying for blessings!"

After his voice fell, everyone hurriedly raised their heads to look at the other side of the altar. An elegant figure like a fairy came slowly through the boundless wind and snow.
