Emperor Son Sang gl

Since the Mid-Autumn Festival, the relationship between Lian Yu and Bai Qingran has become better and better.

It is already a mutual trust of sincerity, and there has been a close relationship between the skin and the gift of the Duke of Zhou. The two daughters who are originally delicate, have a hard-won relationship on the road of life, which makes the true feelings in the hearts of these two people reveal more deeply. .

Cold comes and summer goes, and it is another winter.

Thinking about the end of the year, the custom of offering sacrifices to heaven in the first month that had been handed down from Dayan of the previous dynasty, was also moved down in the Daning Dynasty.Emperor Bai Daocheng prayed for the peace and prosperity of the country and the people, and the emperor Bai Daocheng has been complacent since he heard the three-year period said by the national teacher.No, Jitian called the name of the son-in-law to attend.

Generally speaking, the son-in-law is a relative of the royal family, and such things as offering sacrifices to heaven are only attended by the emperor, prince and ministers.Bai Daocheng's idea this year left Lian Yu at a loss as to what to do.

"Yu, you don't have to worry about it." Bai Qingran smiled lightly, picking out Jie Shilianyu's robes for the ceremony. "Whether it is the previous dynasty or the current dynasty, Yu is the No. 1 sacrifice to the heaven. The emperor valued it so much, he must be aware of it." Bai Qingran's men passed by, listing several kinds of precious silk or patterns, which made people see. Dazzled.

If you are offering sacrifices to the heavens, wouldn't it be good to add some seriousness?

"It's just that I was born as a commoner. I'm afraid I can't do well in such a national event as offering sacrifices to heaven..."

"Where is this talking?" Bai Qingran looked back at her, holding her waist: "Do you still remember that year ago, when you married me, people kneeled all over the street? And your comments on the annals of history , your natural aura, and all of these make me feel that you are an extraordinary person."

"Ran'er..." Lian Yu smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to hug her tightly.

Dad said, the emperor's idea is so novel, and he just needs to do his own thing well according to the procedure of offering sacrifices to heaven.As long as the day of offering sacrifices to heaven is over, things will gradually get better in the future.

Ran'er and I will always get better, right?

-----------------------

In the 17th year of Antong, the first day of the first month.

Another year has passed since the reign of Antong, and the old ministers who still hold hope in the previous dynasty have lost a little bit.Seeing that the Bai family's throne is becoming more and more secure, it is unknown who will be called the emperor after a while.

Today is the first day of the first lunar month, and it is also a day when the north wind is blowing very hard.Bai Daocheng, Prince Bai Che, and all the civil and military officials in the court assembled their convoys and headed for the imperial mausoleum after the fifth watch of the day. They went to the altar of the imperial mausoleum a hundred miles east of the imperial city, and held a grand sacrifice ceremony , and pray and fast.

The altar of the imperial mausoleum belonged to the previous dynasty, and since Daning was a new dynasty, no other imperial mausoleum was built, and the work was done on the land of the previous dynasty.Bai Daocheng came down from the warm car in a sable down cape, and the first thing he saw was Lian Yu in another car behind him.

Today's sacrifice to heaven, as the son of heaven, Bai Daocheng and the crown prince, both wore dragon robes with black and gold threads in twelve patterns, but the crown prince's was a little simpler; She chose a set of brocade robes with snow satin blue thread and deep patterns, with a black gold hairpin on the crown, and a cloak in bright yellow sable velvet.

"Is the emperor's brother-in-law wearing enough clothes? Don't be too cold." The prince smiled and cared, but Lian Yu felt a little nervous from the bottom of his heart.By the way, the prince is a very masculine...

It's okay to be a good man, but I feel that this prince is interesting to me...

"Thank you, brother, for your concern. Lian Yu can bear it." Lian Yu saluted respectfully, without further conversation; his eyes were still watching the emperor Bai Daocheng in front of him, fearing that he might do something wrong, which would hurt Bai Qingran.

A few moments later, civil and military officials and others lined up neatly in front of the altar, a salute, long candles, cloth banners and other things were all prepared according to their grades.Bai Daocheng sat at the back, and when everything was ready, he walked into the avenue of the altar with the prince Bai Che and his son-in-law Lian Yu.

I only heard that this son-in-law is deeply loved by the emperor, and even appreciated by the national teacher.All the officials had never carefully looked at Lian Yujiu's present appearance to the royal family; therefore, at this solemn moment, many people raised their heads slightly to look at the young man.

Just looking at it, some people sighed, and some people couldn't regain their senses for a long time.

What I sigh is that the majority of people in the court are officials who rose from the Bai family's disciples; but they have been unable to recover for a long time because they are veterans who also loyal to Dayan in the previous court in this court. Although they are old, their facial features are still sensitive Seeing this son-in-law Lian Yu today, why does it give people an unusually familiar feeling as a royal since childhood?

The national teacher ranked first among the civil servants, and when he saw the emperor and others coming, he ordered the sacrifice to heaven to begin.

"Prayer and Sacrifice—"

The red lacquer drum was beaten by 45 guards around the Ninth Five-Year Plan. Accompanied by the muffled sound of the drum, Bai Daocheng walked slowly to the white stone desk in the middle of the altar—the surface of this desk was inscribed with the Emperor Taizu's words of offering sacrifices to heaven, this stone platform has been handed down for many years, and is used for offering sacrifices to heaven every year.

Bai Daocheng looked around at the following people, paused his gaze on Lian Yu, and then looked back at the sacrificial text.

"I am today's son, enthroned as emperor in accordance with the mandate of heaven. As an emperor, he cares about the people's livelihood. On the first day of the first month of the 16th year of Antong in Daning, he offered sacrifices to the heavens and prayed for the people. I hope that the weather will be smooth and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. All industries are flourishing, and the country is prosperous and prosperous. I am the son of heaven, and I will do my best for my subjects, rule the country, and return to the emperor's fortune bestowed by the heavens. Set up an incense to show my heart, and the sky will learn from it."

After Bai Daocheng finished reading aloud, he stepped down from the altar amidst the uniform sound of kneeling and saluting.

In front of the altar is a three-legged bronze vessel with animal patterns.This is also a thing from the previous dynasty. It was used to burn incense when the emperor sacrificed to the sky after reading the sacrificial oration, which means that there is no joke.Bai Daocheng took the nine-pillar incense sticks handed over by the palace man, squeezed the middle of his hands tightly, and bowed three times to the sky before inserting it into the bronze tripod.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

All civil and military officials bowed down, and it seemed that this sacrifice to heaven was over.

"Then, let all civil and military officials come forward to offer incense." Bai Daocheng smiled and turned around, but he didn't know that there was a gust of wind blowing behind him, which made his steps move by half.

The people in the palace behind panicked: "Changxiang—"

Just before the words were finished, the nine pillars of long incense that had been inserted into the tripod just now were all thrown off the mud by the wind and fell down.Everyone on the altar turned pale with fright, and their brains had not yet reacted correctly.

"Boom-boom-"

A wave of unrest, a wave of up again.

In this winter day, the weather was originally gloomy; on this cloudy morning, there was a dull thunder in the clouds; Then, it slashed straight towards the altar, which was deafening.

Bai Daocheng stood in front of the altar, gritted his teeth and said nothing.

The civil and military officials raised their heads and looked ahead, and they were also shocked: the stone platform that had been used for worshiping the sky for hundreds of years was split in two by lightning on this day!In addition, just now, the long incense stick on the emperor was immediately knocked down by the wind, and everyone couldn't help talking about it, straight to the ominous omen, ominous omen!

"National teacher, go to the Hall of Peaceful Harmony after offering sacrifices to heaven!" Bai Daocheng said coldly, his eyes still fixed on the front.The national teacher Lu Jianzhe answered, looking back at the messy scene again, he seemed to have an answer.

Worship to heaven is variable, and age changes.

-----------------------------

After the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was over, or forced to end, Bai Daocheng sent all the civil and military officials to return to their residences, and asked the Imperial Forest Army to send the prince and son-in-law back to their residences.After watching some palace people roughly clean up the situation of the altar, they got on the emperor's chariot angrily and ordered to drive back to the palace.

The national teacher Lu Jianzhe also ordered his own carriage, and followed the emperor's chariot into the palace.

Ninghe Hall.

Before Bai Daocheng waited for the maids on both sides to come forward to serve, he asked everyone in the hall to retreat.He reached out to take off the sable fur cape on his body, and sat down on the dragon chair in the temple.

Looking back at the people in the hall, he hesitated to speak for several times.

"A few months ago, I had a conversation with the national teacher, talking about the son-in-law is a talent, a talent who can keep my Daning Dynasty prosperous and prosperous." Bai Daocheng narrowed his eyes, and there were two bright lights in his eyes: "It's just the national teacher How can I explain that today, I bring all the officials, civil and military officials, and other sons to sacrifice to heaven, but there is a change?"

There are no such coincidences in the world.Could it be that God is going to destroy the Bai family?

Lu Jianzhe looked up at the emperor and smiled lightly.

"The emperor offered sacrifices to the heavens today, and everything that happened seems to be ominous. But has the emperor ever thought about it, it is not appropriate for Daning to use the sacrificial rites of the previous dynasty for more than ten years; plus today's other I ordered my son-in-law to go, it is obviously a new character but it is still an old literary matter, God, how can I bear it."

Lu Jianzhe bowed and bowed, only waiting for Bai Daocheng to comprehend the meaning of the sentence.

"New characters, old literary affairs." Hearing this, Bai Daocheng remained silent for a long time.Indeed, it is inappropriate to continue to use old customs and things even though a new dynasty has been established.It has been 17 years since Antong, and some things are indeed about to change.

"Your Majesty, if you want the people not to live under the previous regime, you should make a breakthrough." This sentence was also what Bai Daocheng thought in his heart.Lu Jianzhe has been by his side for nearly 30 years. He knows his temper and every thought he has now.

"What the national teacher said is very true." Bai Daocheng was a little embarrassed: "I just blamed the national teacher by mistake, and I hope the national teacher forgives. If this is the case, according to the national teacher, then the son-in-law will be a person who accepts the words and makes a new plan?"

Lu Jianzhe paused, not expecting him to think so. "I just speculate that the son-in-law will be a capable person, a man of eternal prosperity. As for the rest, I don't know much about it, and I can't disclose it."

Bai Daocheng nodded, "Of course I won't force the national teacher."

"The emperor is sympathetic to the minister, and the minister is naturally grateful."

"Well." Bai Daocheng said again: "It seems that starting this year, I will start the implementation of the new policy, as well as the re-drafting of all the big and small matters in this government program. I also hope that the national teacher will help me a lot when I introduce it."

"I obey the order." Lu Jianzhe knelt down.

"Then the national teacher should go back to the Qiankun Palace first. I still need to go to the upper study to check the national policy courses of the princes. Call the captain of the imperial forest army to send the national teacher back to the mansion!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live—"

--------------------------

Outside Ninghe Hall.

Lu Jianzhe stepped out of the palace gate and smiled slightly when he saw that the captain of the Imperial Forest Army was waiting outside.Really capable person.The position of Lieutenant of the Imperial Forest Army represents that he is responsible for all the transfer of the Imperial Forest Army in the capital, including the imperial palace.

The tens of thousands of troops in the imperial forest army in the capital are his subordinates. As for whether he listens or not, it depends on how well he is doing as a captain.

The captain of the Yulin Army in front of him, his surname is Chu and his name is Yunzhi, is in his early forties.

"Captain Chu, I'm going to trouble you to take me back to the palace today." Lu Jianzhe smiled.The mansion is in the palace, it is a kind of glory, it is better to say that it is the emperor's house arrest.In order not to let him, the national teacher, escape, and to be helpless when encountering troubles, so even when he returned to the palace, he had to follow the captain of the Imperial Forest Army.

"Where is the national teacher? Yunzhi has no business on weekdays, so he can still be sent to the national teacher." Chu Yunzhi's words were very polite, and his stern face set off his military demeanor.

"Hahaha," Lu Jianzhe smiled, and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation: "Then, let's stick to the old rules and walk all the way back to Qiankun Hall. Do you have any objections?"

"Everything will be according to what the national teacher said."

The two left from the Hall of Ninghe one after the other, Lu Jianzhe Chu Yunzhi walked in front, and a small group of Imperial Forest Army soldiers stood a few feet away behind.While walking on the palace road, Chu Yunzhi asked casually, "Speaking of offering sacrifices to heaven today, there seems to be something unusual happening on the altar."

The words were soft, and people behind or around couldn't hear them at all, except Lu Jianzhe in front.

"Indeed. In the beginning, I didn't expect it at all." Lu Jianzhe sighed lightly and walked steadily: "It's just that on the way back to the palace later, I figured out the cause and effect of the matter."

Chu Yunzhi straightened his helmet, turned his head and looked at the subordinates behind him.

"Qian'er!—"

Behind him, a boy with a slightly immature face ran forward, his clothes were messed up because he ran too fast.The young man shrugged at the armor on his body, looked back at Chu Yunzhi: "Father, what do you want me to do?"

"You take everyone to the Qiankun Hall first, and prepare the palace affairs for the national teacher. Dad is here to accompany the national teacher to walk slowly. The national teacher is not feeling well and can't walk fast." Chu Yunzhi patted The son still had thin shoulders: "This is the first task father gave you, you must complete it well."

"Your subordinates obey!" Chu Qian accepted the order in an orderly manner, then ran back and called the small group of soldiers to go to Qiankun Hall first.

Chu Yunzhi watched them walk away, but still followed Lu Jianzhe, keeping a calm expression.

"The emperor called me just now and asked me why there was a change in offering sacrifices to the heavens." Lu Jianzhe smiled and pursed his lips: "I only said that it was because Daning followed the customs of the previous dynasty all the year round, and the newcomers and old affairs made the heavens dissatisfied. The emperor believed it and returned it." Tell me that you plan to start the implementation of the new policy and the formulation of affairs."

"New people, old things?" Chu Yunzhi was puzzled, "I heard that this year the emperor brought the son-in-law to sacrifice to heaven, which caused this accident. If it's about new people and old things...it makes sense..."

"Does the captain believe this?"

Seeing Lu Jianzhe making fun of him, Chu Yunzhi felt a little embarrassed.

"No, it's just that the national teacher's refutation is good." Chu Yunzhi was lucky, but fortunately, Lu Jianzhe was ahead of him, otherwise he would have seen his own appearance. "So, what does the national teacher think is the reason why today's sacrifice to heaven has changed?"

Lu Jianzhe walked slowly and lowered his voice a little bit.

"The sacrificial texts of the previous dynasty were written in the name of the emperor. For the past 16 years in Daning, there have been no problems in offering sacrifices to the heavens every year, but only in the past 17 years, God directly blew up the sacrificial texts. It has a long fragrance."

"What does the national teacher mean?"

"God, I don't think the emperor who recited the sacrificial text on the field is not Bai Daocheng."

Chu Yunzhi was startled.Not the current emperor?Could it be the prince?It's just that the prince also accompanied him in previous years, so it shouldn't be the reason.As for the extra... "Consort?!"

Lu Jianzhe smiled: "The captain is a little louder. Why is he talking about the son-in-law now?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, I just spoke a little louder because I was excited." Chu Yunzhi looked around casually to make sure that there was no danger around the two of them, and Fang continued: "National Teacher, what do you mean, our Daning The current son-in-law... is someone who can replace the current emperor?"

"This year, it's been 17 years since Antong—" Lu Jianzhe sighed and stroked his beard: "Captain Chu, why don't you come to my place and have a glass of water and wine?"

"Then thank the national teacher first."

------------------------

Half a month later, the 15th Yuanyang Festival of the first lunar month.

It is reported that in several areas of the Central Plains, there were activities organized by Fu Jia to worship Dayanzisang of the former dynasty; Emperor Bai Daocheng was very angry when he learned about it, and ordered to arrest all relevant personnel and kill them without mercy.In the future, Emperor Bai wanted to go to Chengyun City in the south of the Yangtze River, that is, the Zisangzu Temple, to destroy it. The former king of Haigu, Gongsun Zheng, took action to stop it, and led an uprising in the south of the Yangtze River.

Daning's soldiers and horses then retreated to the south of the Yangtze River, unable to shake Haigu's army at all. When Emperor Bai learned about it in Beijing, and heard that there was a change in the worship of heaven from many people, he was so angry that he couldn't get up from bed.

Beijing Lianfu.

"Brother, you see that the current situation is getting worse and worse, should we—"

"It's almost there." Lian Fu restrained his face: "Someday, ask Yu'er to come here. There is no need to delay any longer. The master said that the longer Yu'er stays, the more dangerous it will be. After so many years, we must win."

"Don't worry, brother, God will bless us!"

"Ah."

I believe that the crown prince will also protect us and Yu'er.
