She married a dying prince and she won three babies.

“Yuan Zheng, you reminded me and Ziqi before to pay more attention to the Third Prince.

We take this matter very seriously and are intensifying our investigation.

Sure enough, we discovered that he had recruited a group of unknown people. At first, we couldn't find out the details of those people.

Their official identities are waiters, porters, or peddlers.

But they would gather together in groups regularly, allowing us to detect them.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that these people were orphans who were adopted and trained many years ago. Each of them had excellent martial arts skills.

But we are not sure how many there are exactly. We have already found that there are more than 180 of them.

We suspect that he was someone trained by Aunt Wang.

But without evidence, we can only speculate.

With the help of this group of people, the third prince was even more powerful.

She does things in an organized manner, knows how to be patient, and knows how to please the emperor. Even Concubine Wan is much smarter than before.

In the past, she was always competitive in the palace, but in the past year, she has restrained her temper and treated others kindly.

These changes began after the third prince recruited that group of people.

So we discussed and decided to use what you said to lure the snake out of its hole and catch it all in one fell swoop.

The emperor's sacrifice to heaven the day after tomorrow is just a bait.

We still haven't found out how the Third Prince will act. Whether he will use that group of people to assassinate directly or launch a coup directly, we don't know.

If that group of people take action during this sacrifice, we will lead them to the top of the mountain behind, so that they have no way to retreat, and then destroy them in one fell swoop.

But just in case, we have made all kinds of preparations.

If an accident occurs, the emperor will jump off the cliff and take shelter here temporarily.

When the time comes, let Chunlei and others take you to this cave and wait.

If the Emperor is injured, you must treat him immediately and make sure he is safe."

The prince told Yu Yuanzheng their plan in detail.

"So that's how it is. Your Majesty, don't worry. As long as you are not injured in any vital parts, I will definitely keep you safe." Yu Yuanzheng assured.

But the emperor raised his eyebrows after hearing this.

As long as there is no injury to his vital parts, even an ordinary doctor can keep him safe. Why does he need a miracle doctor?

But the emperor didn't care.

"Ah."

The emperor actually felt very uncomfortable and sad at the same time, and he hummed sullenly.

No matter what, the third prince is his biological son, but he grew up abnormally.

The man is not smart, but his ambition is high. He is bewitched and wants to compete.

Shangguan Wanrou is even more ignorant and wants to be the most noble woman in the world.

If it weren't for the Rong Prince's Mansion, he would never have allowed her to enter the palace.

He even doted on her and she gave birth to a son.

As her son grew up, her ambition gradually became apparent.

Since they, mother and son, are courting disaster, they should not blame him for being ruthless.

The emperor considered it for many days before making up his mind to give up the mother and child.

"Your Majesty, how good are your martial arts?" Yu Yuanzheng asked without knowing the answer.

Does the emperor dare to jump from such a high cliff?

"It's no problem to get in here." The emperor put away the sadness in his heart.

"That's good."

The few of them discussed for a while and analyzed all possible situations.

In order to catch them all in one fell swoop, they had to relax their defenses appropriately and let those people go up the mountain.

Finally, Yu Yuanzheng suggested disguising the entrance of the cave. It would be bad if the enemy also saw the cave and broke in here.

"It's already disguised." Shangguan Ziqi explained.

That night, Shangguan Ziqi brought Yu Yuanzheng here to familiarize herself with the environment and to tell her their plan so that she would have an idea of ​​what to do.

On the eighth day of the eighth month, in the early morning light, Yuntaishan was bathed in the morning sunshine like a dream.

The air was filled with a faint forest fragrance, and early birds flew around in search of food.

The palace began to bustle with the sound of a distant bell.

The residents in each room began to stand up and prepare to participate in this grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens.

The morning light penetrated the mist, giving the nine-tiered white jade altar a golden edge.

In the bronze sacrificial tripod, green smoke from the burning pine and cypress branches rose straight up and turned into a pillar reaching the sky in the morning light.

The palace's main gate slowly opened, and thirty-six golden-armored guards, armed with long spears, marched out in a steady procession. Behind them, seventy-two ritual musicians, armed with sheng, xiao, bixiao, and other instruments, struck up the solemn "Chengyun" music.

The emperor, wearing a robe with twelve chapter patterns and a crown with twelve tassels, walked out slowly surrounded by four eunuchs.

On the black robe and purple skirt, patterns of the sun, moon, stars, mountain dragons and colorful insects flow in the morning light, and every step is accompanied by awe-inspiring majesty.

Sun Zhiyu, the Minister of Rites, held a jade tablet in his hand and stood beneath the altar, chanting loudly, "The auspicious time has arrived. Your Majesty, please ascend the altar and offer sacrifices to heaven."

As he finished speaking, low horn sounds came from all directions, spreading throughout Yuntai Mountain.

The emperor nodded slightly, and the jade beads on the crown swayed gently.

He raised his eyes to the altar.

The nine steps symbolize the nine heavens, and different offerings are placed on each level: grains, three kinds of animals, jade and silk, jade tablets and jade discs... In the bronze sacrificial tripod, the fragrance of burning pine and cypress branches becomes more and more intense.

When I stepped onto the first step, the sound of the ritual music suddenly changed.

The rich sound of the chimes echoed in the valley, interweaving with the sound of pine waves.

The emperor took every step very steadily, and the twelve patterns on his crown rose and fell slightly with his movements, as if they were alive.

When we reached the third floor, the rising sun in the east just happened to jump out of the sea of ​​clouds.

The golden sunlight sprinkled on the altar, stretching the emperor's figure into a slender shape.

Amid the sounds of ritual music, one can faintly hear the cry of cranes in the distance.

On the seventh step, the emperor paused for a moment, looking up at the sky. The jade beads on his crown reflected a rainbow of light.

At this moment, he seemed to have merged with the heaven and earth.

As they reached the last level, the smoke from the cauldron suddenly rose straight up, transforming into the shape of a blue dragon in the morning light. All officials knelt in worship, shouting "Long live the emperor!"

The emperor stood on the top of the altar, holding up the jade sceptre in both hands, and said in a loud voice: "May God bless the Great Wei, and may the country prosper long. Today, I, together with all the ministers, stand solemnly on the top of Yuntai Mountain and respectfully announce to the Emperor of Heaven:

One hundred and fifty-eight years have passed since Taizu founded the country. The Great Wei has carried out the mandate of heaven, cared for the people, weathered storms, and remained standing.

However, the Canglan Kingdom has evil ambitions and has repeatedly invaded our territory, coveting our land, wanting to seize our country and disrupt our mountains and rivers.

Fortunately, thanks to the mighty power of heaven, the protection of our ancestors, the soldiers fighting for their lives, and the unity of the people, the bandits were finally defeated and the national humiliation was avenged.

Today's victory is not the achievement of me alone, but the will of heaven and the wish of all the people.

I am well aware that destiny is unpredictable. Only by respecting Heaven and following our ancestors, working diligently and loving our people can we ensure that the Wei Dynasty will be forever stable and our descendants will enjoy eternal peace for generations to come.

Today I have specially prepared five kinds of grains and three kinds of animals to offer to the heavens, praying to the Emperor of Heaven to continue to have mercy on our Great Wei, and grant us good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

I must work tirelessly day and night, strive to govern the country, live up to the grace of heaven, and live up to the people.

May God bless the Wei Dynasty and enjoy peace forever! "

His voice was deep and powerful, echoing among the mountains.

All the ministers bowed and shouted in unison: "May God bless the Great Wei and enjoy eternal peace!"

When the ministers raised their heads after bowing, a rainbow suddenly appeared in the sky, spanning the entire Yuntai Mountain.

The ministers exclaimed and kowtowed again.

"Auspicious signs are appearing in the sky. This is a good omen!" The Minister of Rites waved his hand and shouted loudly.

Historically, women were never allowed to participate in sacrifices to heaven, not even the queen was eligible.

However, at today's sacrifice to heaven, Yu Yuanzheng wore men's clothing and stood with the ministers to witness this grand ceremony.

At this moment, she felt an endless sense of heroism in her heart.

Has her mission of traveling through time been completed?

She always felt that she hadn't.

At this moment, she listened to the emperor continue to recite the sacrificial text, and she was also thinking.

What is the significance of her having two identities?
