At this time, Xia Sheng didn't know that when he decided to concentrate on practicing and improving his realm, the real world outside the Jinyuan Secret Realm had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Chunqiu Academy encountered the biggest crisis in the hundreds of years since its establishment, and it was even more serious than the barbarian invasion and the high priest Chi Nuyan Yan rushed into Buju Mountain.

The Qin family's many divisions were surrounded by unknown forces at the same time. As the real ruler of Shantang, Qin Yan worked hard every day and was busy and had no time to take care of the others.

The Thorn Army stayed at Honghua Gang outside Luoyang City for less than two days before moving forward again and heading towards the southern border. The cold wind and snow gently brushed Marshal Ye's cold face, making people feel infinite sighs.

In this situation, Emperor Jin suddenly decided to hold a ceremony for worshiping the sky in Changbai Mountain two days later, which caught people off guard.

Those officials who had been hiding in the court for many years had smelled an unusual smell.

Of course, the process of this ceremony of worship for heaven is mainly responsible for the Ministry of Rites, but even the Minister of Rites does not understand why His Majesty chose the place for worship for heaven in Changbai Mountain.

In the past five hundred years of history of the Dajin Dynasty, no, it is not the first time that the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony was held during the nearly two hundred years after Emperor Jin ascended the throne and held the seal.

The most recent time was 128 years ago, after the Chengtian Gate Incident, Emperor Jin held a grand ceremony to worship the heavens on Hongming Mountain in order to pray for the soldiers who died in the war.

It was during that ceremony that Emperor Jin announced a new year name and a series of major changes in government orders.

For example, all the officials of the former crown prince Zhao Rui were dismissed, the imperial examination system came back to power, and all kinds of anti-kings were completely reduced to the vassal state. The throne officially entered the historical stage, led by Xu Qiuran, the only prince of the Dajin Dynasty today, and was directly led by the Kyoto Luoyang.

Therefore, the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven may be a grand event that is rare in a century for ordinary people in the secular world, but for people in the court and the public, it seems like a cold light is on their backs.

No one knew why Emperor Jin suddenly held a ceremony to sacrifice to heaven and what decision would be announced at the ceremony to sacrifice to heaven, but everyone felt the heart-pounding peace before the storm.

Compared with Hongming Mountain where the previous ceremony of worship of heaven was located, Changbai Mountain is obviously closer to Nanchuan and further away from the capital, but in terms of geographical location, it is closer to the center of the entire Dajin Dynasty.

This may also be the only reason why Emperor Jin chose this ceremony of sacrifice to Changbai Mountain.

But the problem is that there is no natural danger around Changbai Mountain, and it is not as terrifying as Hongming Mountain to defend the enemy. Once you encounter any accident, His Majesty the Emperor trapped on the top of the mountain will be unable to escape!

A tragedy of aliens attacking teachers and students from Chunqiu Academy a few months ago is still vivid in my mind!

What is even more puzzling is that the emperor mobilized so many troops and traveled thousands of miles to Changbai Mountain to worship the sky. So what should I do if the Kyoto Luoyang?

The ideal situation is of course that the Crown Prince Zhao Hao temporarily supervised the country, but the advice of the Minister of Rites was rejected by Emperor Jin.

Even when he went to Changbai Mountain this time, Emperor Jin did not bring the prince with him. Instead, he brought the two sons of the King of Grassland, Nalan Yuan and Nalan Zhuo.

The ninth prince Zhao Chen also did not appear on the list of entourage personnel, but continued to stay in the Imperial Academy to practice.

In general, the various arrangements made by Emperor Jin to sacrifice to the sky were like a layer of clouds and fog in front of people's eyes, which was unpredictable.

But apart from that, everything is still the same as before and there has not been much change.

For example, the person in charge of the emperor's safety was still the people in the Judgment Department. This time, even Duke Xu recruited an elite army of the army to follow along the way, while the commander of the imperial guard Cai Quan was three feet away from Emperor Jin all the time.

Of course, these arrangements are not enough to ensure that the foreign race will not take this opportunity to attack Emperor Jin.

So what really made the ministers in the court feel at ease was actually the two carriages that guarded the imperial carriage from one after another.

In these two unpretentious carriages, there were two people sitting.

Even Qin Nian, the head of the Judgment Department, was not qualified to sit in it.

Because in a sense, these two people are even more terrifying than the entire Judgment Office.

It is also more reliable than the three forces of the Judgment Department, the State Army, and the Imperial Army.

One of them is Qin Xiaohua, the ancestor of the Qin family, holding a short black jade stick!

It is worth mentioning that the Qin family is actually in a turmoil like the Chunqiu Academy. After the New Year's Eve, the news that Qin Yan officially became the only heir of Shantang has been announced to the world, but closely followed by the Qin family's branches in various states were attacked and encircled by unknown forces.

The first turmoil was the Jiangzhou Branch. Legend has it that it was attacked by a demon python that could transform into a human form. The Qin family's guest officials, worshippers and shopkeepers were almost wiped out.

Later, the branches of Bianzhou, Huizhou, Liangzhou and Qingzhou were also captured, but this time it was artificial. Although no force stood up and was responsible for this matter, the senior officials of the Qin family knew that this must be a method that Hetang had planned for a long time!

Fortunately, the Qin family has a deep foundation and is the best in both wealth and connections. Therefore, after a short period of chaos, it quickly regained its foothold and the battlefield with Hetang also shifted from real swords to commercial battles.

Under such circumstances, Qin Xiaohua did not sit in the Kyoto Head Office, but followed Emperor Jin to Changbai Mountain to worship the sky, which not only showed his great trust in Qin Yan, but also revealed his loyalty to the sun and the moon.

Or from another perspective, Qin Xiaohua never took Hetang seriously at all.

After all, he is the holy rank!

Since the Qin family competition last year, Qin Xiaohua has killed Wei Zhiyuan, the shopkeeper of the Shantang, without any effort. Everyone in the world is speculating that Qin Xiaohua must have entered that awesome sacred realm.

That is, the holy rank!

But that was just a guess after all. Qin Xiaohua never really admitted this matter, and never fought with the powerful saint class since then, so no one dared to be 100% sure whether Qin Xiaohua was a holy rank.

Therefore, the second person was accompanied.

This person has a fat figure, with a big belly, kind eyebrows and a kind smile on his face. He looks like an ordinary rich man, even when he is facing a low-ranking groom.

Judging from his appearance alone, he seemed much younger than Qin Xiaohua and was only forty years old. So when he got on the super-large carriage tailored for him, many people looked at each other and were full of doubts.

Because almost no one knows who he is, let alone the big round face with a smile.

But if his name is mentioned, I am afraid that everyone in this world will know it.

Everyone is willing to worship him.

Especially for the academicians, teachers and students of the Tianxing Academy who were responsible for the periphery of guarding the outside world during this ceremony of worship of heaven.

Because his name is Yang Tianxiao.
