Chapter 354: Ancestor Worship Ceremony
It doesn't matter whether there is collusion or not.
What is important is that it is an indisputable fact that he plans to usurp the throne.
Lin Xiao knew that Zhu Wushi had already started to move, and he didn't know that Lin Xiao and the others were paying close attention to his movements, which was their advantage.
Moreover, Zhu Wushi's first step died in Lin Xiao's hands, which means that his second and third steps would not be able to complete and continue due to the death of the first step.
Conspiracy has become open conspiracy, and some things are becoming increasingly difficult to succeed.
The ancestor worship ceremony began soon. After fasting and bathing, the emperor changed into a brand new dragon robe and appeared in front of all civil and military officials.
It was a grand event, but it was also boring and boring.
Lin Xiao has changed back to his official uniform at this moment. He is now a third-rank official of the Celestial Empire and the chief commander of the Six Gate.
According to the laws of the Celestial Empire, civil servants and military officers must stand separately, and Lin Xiao was divided into the military officers, so he stood on the left and stood slightly ahead.
The ancestor worship ceremony of the Celestial Dynasty is a grand event held every year, but it is obvious that some border generals are unable to give up their work to participate.
Lin Xiao's eyes scanned the crowd, and did not find the ten top ten generals who were bribed by Zhu Wushi.
I think it is true, with their responsibilities, it is impossible to travel thousands of miles to attend such a grand event with only spiritual meaning.
On the high platform in front, the emperor was worshiping his ancestors. The tablet of the founding emperor was placed at the highest point and was also the largest among the many tablets. At this time, even as the emperor, he had to kneel down, because these ancestors in front of him who sacrificed their lives for this country.
Of course, even the emperor knelt down, so the others naturally had to kneel down.
Lin Xiao rejected this kind of kneeling behavior, so he left the team early. Anyway, his status is quite special. He is said to be a third-rank official, but in fact everyone knows that he is not afraid to offend even the prime minister of the current dynasty.
No one muttered about Lin Xiao's departure, and Lin Xiao did not go far. He just went nearby to see if there were any other ambush.
God knows what Zhu Wushi's plan is today. Although he should be trying to control the emperor through the Soul-Devouring Gu, he can successfully usurp the throne by just controlling the emperor?
This plane was too simplified, and only ordinary people who knew nothing would think so. In fact, if you just control the emperor, it would be impossible to plan to usurp the throne so easily.
The reason why the emperor can sit in this position is due to the contribution of his father. If your father is the emperor, then you are qualified to sit in this dragon position. In other words, if your father is not the emperor, then it is not impossible for you to sit in this dragon position, but it will be very difficult.
No one will feel uncomfortable when the prince sits in the dragon position. But if you, the prince, sits in the dragon position, people will think, why can you, the prince, sit? Can't I sit?
Not convinced, yes, definitely not convinced!
Therefore, in addition to controlling the emperor, there must be other means.
For example...the support of some people.
For example...a well-trained force that can control the situation in a short period of time!
These are the prerequisites for you to successfully sit in the dragon position.
It can be said that it is indispensable!
Zhu Wushi has been carefully planning for so many years, and he has been thinking about this question for 365 days and nights every year. Can he not think of these?
However, after Lin Xiao inspected, he did not find this well-trained army that should exist. This did not relieve his worries, but instead became heavier.
The failure to discover it does not mean that it does not exist. It can only be said that they hid it too well. Lin Xiao didn't find them.
After a walk, when Lin Xiao came back, the ancestor worship ceremony had already reached the middle part.
At this time, everyone was praising the contributions of their ancestors. Lin Xiao stood not far away and watched, with his pair of sharp eyes as sharp as an eagle constantly scanning the people present.
If it is not found outside, then this army should be hidden in this ceremony square.
Soon, his eyes stopped on the group of people.
"Is these people... they?" Lin Xiao looked at the people and guessed in his heart.
These people are elite troops carefully selected by the court, and they are a unit that will be performed later. The number of people in this unit is 5,000, not many, but they are all elites among the elites.
Even if they are placed in today's martial arts world, they are all top-notch masters.
Such an absolutely elite force would be a bit terrible if they were all Zhu Wushi's people.
It’s not that such a unit will make them unable to compete. Lin Xiao believes that with these top masters, even if this elite unit is powerful, they will be fearless. What is really scary is Zhu Wushi’s infiltration ability. He can actually turn these elite soldiers carefully selected by the emperor into his people. Such ability is really terrifying.
"But no matter how powerful you have, you don't want to destroy my Lin Xiao's mission!" Lin Xiao snorted coldly in his heart and thought.
As time passed, the process of the ancestor worship ceremony quickly came to the performance stage. Lin Xiao guessed that the troops arranged by Zhu Wushi began to enter the venue.
The civil and military officials in the court turned around and looked here. At this time, everyone had already sat down in their respective seats. In front of them were carefully selected exquisite snacks, fruits and vegetables, but no one moved at this time.
"Dear friends, come! Let's drink this cup together!"
The emperor on the platform picked up the wine glass and smiled and faced everyone present.
The civil and military officials in the court picked up wine glasses one after another, and everyone had an extremely strong smile on their faces, but I don’t know how many of them were from the heart.
After a glass of wine, the performance over there had already begun. At this moment, Lin Xiao, who had been observing the entire celebration, also discovered that Zhu Wushi, who was there, had explained something to one of his entourages. Seeing that the entourage go down, Lin Xiao knew that things would change soon.
He found Lu Xiaofeng and the others, told them the news, and asked them to prepare.
The battle may be about to break out at any time, and this battle will be related to the ownership of the entire world.
"We must not be defeated!" Lin Xiao said firmly.
Lu Xiaofeng and the others also nodded heavily, expressing their respective determination.
Everyone present has a strong sense of justice, whether it is Lu Xiaofeng or Ximen Chuxue, they are all those who hate evil. Think about what Ximen Chuxue likes to do the most, isn’t it just to chase and kill those who deserve to die all over the world?
Not to mention Lu Xiaofeng, he is good at defending his own affairs and meddling in other people's business.
As for Sikong Zhaixing, although he is a thief, he is also a thief with a strong heart. He is not less than some people like a sense of justice.
Tie Feihua is even the imperial deity of the gods, and she is like an incarnation of justice!
With such a righteous combination, can't I suppress that little evil?
The so-called evil cannot defeat justice. Although these words are generally only used by the older generation to educate the next generation. They may not necessarily come true. After all, the world is real, not movies or TV, and it is impossible to follow the director and screenwriter's personal emotions.
Reality means cruelty, and evil often wins because they can do whatever they want without achieving their goals, and the justice side often cannot do this.
Fortunately, the person who led this group of justice this time was Lin Xiao. He himself was a person who could do anything to achieve his goal. He could say that he was an evil person, but he was now on the side of justice.
Nothing else, just a mission!
"After the people who ignore them take action, we must control the scene in a short time and prevent the entire Celestial Empire from losing many useful people!" Lin Xiao said.
The so-called useful person naturally refers to the civil and military officials present.
Most of these people do not know martial arts, and they will die with one knife. Their lives seem particularly fragile and belong to the type of people who need protection.
"Feihua, then you can bring people to protect the civil and military officials in the court, and leave the rest of the matter to us!" Lin Xiao said to Tie Feihua.
Among the people present, Tie Feihua is weak, and she is also a girl. Out of her awareness of protecting girls, Lin Xiao doesn’t want her to fight with those masters. What if she is at least good?
Tie Feihua nodded. How could she not understand Lin Xiao’s meaning? However, protecting the civil and military officials of the court is also a very important responsibility, and she did not blame Lin Xiao.
Just as Lin Xiao ordered everyone to arrange their respective tasks.
Zhu Wushi also made some noise there.
"Master, everything must be arranged!"
The follower who had left before appeared behind Zhu Wushi again. He whispered to report the news he had obtained to Zhu Wushi, and then stood behind Zhu Wushi.
After hearing the good news from his subordinates, Zhu Wushi couldn't help but look indescribable excited on his face.
He has been looking forward to this day for too long.
His eyes swept towards the emperor who was high above the platform, and his eyes looked extremely hot.
That seat will soon belong to him!
At least, that's what he thinks.
"Hmph~! It's you." The emperor glanced at Zhu Wushi with slightest snort, and immediately snorted coldly in his heart.
How could he not see Zhu's hot gaze? He is not blind!
After all the previous years, he still doubted whether Zhu Wushi did it. After all, he was his own emperor's uncle and did not see any signs.
But now, he is 100% sure it is him!
"Fortunately, Lin Xiao is here this time, otherwise the old thief's conspiracy would have succeeded!" The emperor couldn't help but think with gratitude. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
