Qinglian Snow Heavy

Those stupid rumors have long been thrown away, leaving only the awe of the emperor.At this moment, only Qin Zhengqing and Gu Tingxuan are suspicious. Could it be because of Qinglian that the emperor visited for no reason?

Ritual

Ka Shui encouraged everyone not to leave after that, she only said that Yue Fu would continue to rehearse and that he would just watch from the sidelines.The emperor came to watch in person, and the musicians in the Yuefu played more vigorously, and Jia Rui didn't tire of it, sitting high in the Yuefu and listening to the whole set of movements used for worshiping heaven.

It wasn't until the beginning of Huachu that Qin Zhengqing finished all the tunes, and only then did Jiarui get up and leave.Before his departure, the emperor told Gu Tingxuan that Tong Qinglian, a newly promoted musician of the Yuefu, was severely punished for being insincere in his music. He had spent the past few days in the Chaohua Palace, thinking about his mistakes behind closed doors. Yuefu will carefully study it when the time comes.In the end, Jiarui said to Qin Zhengqing seemingly unintentionally, take care of him when the time comes, and then walk away.

This move cheered up the old Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites who had sent the emperor away with a sigh of relief.Gu Tingxuan knew very well who Qinglian was, and he was very disgusted in his heart. It was precisely because the appearance of the mother and son forced away his only close friend Tong Siming and killed his beloved daughter Gu Jinyi.But his son-in-law Tong Yi's ruthlessness and ungratefulness chilled him. Gu Tingxuan had always hated the death of his adoptive daughter, so Jiarui's "take care" was very repulsive, and it would cause trouble for the future.

When Qin Zhengqing heard Jiarui's statement, his reaction happened to be the opposite of Gu Tingxuan's, thinking that this should be a hint from the emperor to let Qinglian out of the palace.Although Qin Zhengqing was happy in his heart, he never put it on the face, because he knew Gu Tingxuan's knot in his heart.Counting Qin Zhengqing as Gu Tingxuan's younger generation, Lin Zimo, Tong Siming and Gu Tingxuan had a very good relationship during Zi Ye's reign.Qin Zhengqing is Lin Zimo's eldest apprentice, so he is a junior in front of Gu Tingxuan, but it's a pity that the three people who were originally close and respectful were separated because of Yan Lan, and Yin and Yang were separated.

Three days before the sacrifice, the emperor must lead the civil and military ministers to fast.According to the ancestral teachings of the Yin Kingdom, anyone who worships the gods of heaven and earth, the country, the ancestral temple, mountains and rivers, and prays for the blessings of the people all over the world must fast in advance.All the worshipers are required to bathe and change clothes, stay alone, avoid alcohol and meat, avoid sickness and funerals, refrain from feasting, ignore official complaints, and sincerely place their wishes on the gods.Therefore, Jia Rui had nothing to do at night before the Dragon Boat Festival, so he took advantage of this spare time to carefully recall the rites and music he heard at the Yuefu at dusk, wrote down the praises for this year, and sent someone to Lantai.

After the rehearsal of the Yuefu, Qin Zhengqing, who had stayed in the Yuefu for the past few days, also sent someone to Lantai to give Qinglian the music score for the costumes that the Yuefu will wear in the ceremony three days later.Since Wu De followed Jiarui to Ziwei Hall, the things were delivered to Qinglian smoothly.Through the cicada-wing window screens on the window panes of the Lantai, the bright sky can no longer be seen. Under the soft pearl light, Qinglian sat in front of the couch, carefully holding the music score and libretto.

Qinglian was really happy, because he felt that as a court musician, he could finally contribute his own strength in this sacrifice, and the music at his fingertips was not in vain.Because Qin Zhengqing sent the flute score, and the jade flute that came with Qinglian into the palace was cruelly destroyed by Wu De, so Qinglian went upstairs to the music room to pick out a bamboo flute according to the tune, carefully drill.

Qinglian broke her armor the day before yesterday, and not only did she not receive good care after that, but she was beaten many times, and she was also contaminated with dust in the bamboo forest. When Wang Li saw it, she was already in disrepair.The remaining half of the nail at Qinglian's fingertip was deeply embedded in the flesh and was covered with blood and flesh, and the wound was constantly oozing yellow thick juice.At that time, Qinglian was suffering from a low-grade fever and was drowsy. Jiarui didn't ask the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and Wang Li didn't dare to use the wound medicine stored by Lantai without authorization.

Wang Li brought spirits and silver sticks from the execution room, and cleaned Qinglian's fingertips of dust and carrion, and cleaned the wound. Even if Qinglian fell asleep, she would be awakened by the heartache.Although the wound was not infected after being disinfected with spirits, Wang Li pulled out the remaining two pieces of short armor, so now Qinglian's fingertips are seriously injured, and I'm afraid it won't heal for a while.

Because the wound on the fingertips has not healed, Qinglian played very hard, because of the severe pain, many of the lower fingers were weak at times, and a piece of music was played intermittently.Qinglian put down the bamboo flute, looking at her injured finger, she felt a little discouraged.At this time, Qinglian picked up the white plum plain paper on which the praise was written, carefully scrutinizing the high-spirited momentum of the words on the paper that pierced through the back of the paper.Although Wang Li didn't say anything when he sent the plain paper, Qinglian confirmed that it was not Mr. Qin's words. At this moment, Qinglian suddenly thought of Jiarui, and a faint smile appeared on his face. seen.

Three days later, the grand ceremony came as scheduled. At the beginning of the Dragon Boat Festival in Jiarui's 16th year, Qinglian dressed up late at night, and with great excitement, she took the moon and put on a star and was sent to Yuefu. table ready.

The altar of Yin State is located in the south of the imperial city, and it is called the Yuanfang Altar.There are two major national sacrifices in a year. In the spring, the ancestor worship is held in the Fengxian Hall of the Imperial Palace, and the Dragon Boat Festival is held in the Yuanfang Altar.The Yuanfang Altar is a carved three-story open-air round platform. The surface of the altar is made of Aiye Qingshi, carved with white marble railings and columns.The Circular Altar is equipped with the Circular Mound, the Palace of the Emperor’s Vault, the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, the Divine Kitchen, the Sanku and the Sacrifice Pavilion. It also has buildings such as the Clothes Platform and Wang Liao that cooperate with the sacrificial process. The entire Circular Altar shows the royal status Solemn and graceful.

At Chenshi, Emperor Jiarui and Empress Xiaochun drove from Ziwei Hall to Chenxi Palace to welcome Empress Huimin, and then took a dragon to drive out from the main gate of Deyang Palace, leading civil and military officials to the Yuanfang Altar to worship the gods.The car drove to the Yuanfang Altar, and the emperor, empress and empress dowager abandoned the chariot and walked to the altar to show their sincerity.As the empress dowager's personal bodyguard, Tong Jingyu was beside Huimin and Jiarui, always vigilant, while Tong Yi, as the commander of the defense of Gyeonggi, was not among the ministers.

The emperor, empress and empress dowager are all in plain clothes, walking in the forefront.When everyone walked into the Yuanfang Altar, the Yuefu musicians who had been prepared for a long time began to play music and sing praises, and the Dragon Boat Festival began to welcome the gods.When the music started, Jia Rui, who was walking in the front, glanced around in a hurry, trying to find Qinglian among the musicians.After all, there is a distance, no matter how good Jiarui's eyesight is, he can't find Qinglian for a while. The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is heavy, and Jiarui can't look around too much, so he has no choice but to give up. His ears are full of mediocre sacrificial songs .

"The vast sky is full of vaults, and the vastness of Tao is Pang Hong. The building of the mound is the sun of the country, and it is the same as the gods come. Thinking of the ants is subtle, and there is no self-expectation. Feelings. Control the dragon and luan, ride the clouds and ride the wind. Look at the southern suburbs, look at Zhaoge, look at the supreme, look at Chongchong."

Accompanied by the sound of music, everyone walked to the jade steps of the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests. As usual, Emperor Jiarui, the Son of Heaven is the most respected, should be on the stage first, followed by the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Now Jiarui has no heirs, and then there are ranks Concubines, and then civil and military officials.But at this moment, Jiarui is still supporting Huimin and wants to climb the stairs.

At this moment, Huimin was stunned, and looked up at Jiarui. Jiarui's deep eyes showed the domineering and wisdom of a king.Huimin felt relieved, Jia Rui, are you finally going to get back what belongs to you?very good!After stopping for a moment, Huimin took out the hand supported by Jia Ruixu, and proudly climbed up the steps side by side with the emperor.

歌绝

Seeing the emperor and the queen mother go up side by side, the officials behind them were stunned for a moment, the action in front of them clearly violated the ancestral system.Even though Huimin holds the imperial power now, it is not something that is done on the bright side. Emperor Jiarui still participates in the court meeting, and all the national edicts use the emperor's seal. In addition, the emperor has been married for a long time, so Jia Rui Is the honor of a country.The current situation where the rooster sits in the morning is nothing more than the emperor's willingness to abdicate power, leaving no heirs, and pretending to be stupid. Therefore, it seems logical for Huimin to be in power.

Some of the only remaining important officials from the former court today watched Jiarui grow up, so they saw the whole process of this prince who was extremely intelligent from a young age proclaiming himself emperor, and then suddenly became fatuous after taking office, so the group of ministers who followed him There are some discerning people in the work who know Jiarui's true intentions.It's just that in these years, Empress Dowager Huimin has assisted the young king in governing the country, cultural governance, recuperating people's livelihood, and national stability; martial arts, quelling civil strife, and conquering the moon.The empress dowager contributed a lot to the prosperity of the Yin country, so Huimin was so involved in politics that no one dared to speak out. After all, most of the courtiers were wise and safe, and there was no need to speak out. Most of the ministers were demoted and not in important positions.

On weekdays, the Empress Dowager Huimin also respected the emperor in front of people, so everyone just opened their eyes and closed their eyes and let it go, anyway, it was the emperor himself who acquiesced.It's just that what the Empress Dowager did today is really overreaching. The Dragon Boat Festival God Sacrifice is so important to the country, how can one forget one's ancestors so many times?Although all the ministers followed the king up the steps calmly, they were not very happy in their hearts.

The sacrificial ceremony continued, and Jiarui ignored the whispers behind him, followed Huimin on the stage, and deliberately took half a step down.Jia Rui was suspicious in his heart, the sharp gaze when Huimin shook off his hand just now, clearly understood the intention here, but why did he continue to cooperate with the design that was seen through?Jia Rui was a little puzzled, but now he didn't have time to distinguish carefully, because he had already led everyone up to the altar.

Since the emperor led the people into the Yuanfang Altar, the ceremony began with the sound of rites and music. This is called welcoming the gods.When the emperor came to the altar, he had already burned the prepared three animals and nine rituals on the Liaotai, and the festival of burnt wood was considered to be over.The Dragon Boat Festival sacrifices the heaven, the earth, and the country, and the ruler of the country prays for the people, so the etiquette is very complicated
