Sacrifice!
It was the first part of the ancestral sacrifice ceremony, also known as the literary sacrifice.
People brought forward their prepared offerings in turn, presenting them on the altar to the ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Whose offering was the most precious,
could take over the position of the Xiaoshanhe Institute's director as the main sacrificer, holding the scepter of sacrifice and preside over the following ceremony. This position was not merely a symbol of status, but also a matter of honor.
Especially for the princes who were vying for the position of Crown Prince, it meant gaining the recognition of the ancestors of the Great Qian Dynasty.
Future succession of the throne would come with added benefits!
For this very reason...
whether it was Yang Kun or Yang Ling, both spared no expense in seeking powerful and precious mythical beasts as offerings, so as to secure the position of main sacrificer.
The entire literary sacrifice process was very solemn.
