Jinghong Building

Chapter 453 Taiping

At this moment, the sound of a pure whip came, and the officials who were still whispering immediately calmed down. A voice full of energy came from a distance: "The emperor starts his journey and worships the heaven and earth."

The square was quiet, and everyone saw the dragon chariot sailing towards this side. The woman wearing a crown and a dragon robe sat upright on it, with a calm expression and a firm and distant look.

The man protecting the dragon chariot was wearing a red flying fish suit, with an embroidered spring sword hanging on his waist, and his eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He just looked here and everyone felt a chill on his back, as if a blade had scratched his body.

The **** Yuan Xiaodong shouted loudly: "Kneel!"

Everyone lowered their heads, lifted their robes and knelt down, and the dragon chariot slowly drove past them, with neat footsteps in their ears, and they dared not look up.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and Yuan Xiaodong's voice sounded again: "Get up!"

Everyone stood up and walked towards the altar under the leadership of Feng Xieying and He Xiulong.

This altar was built by He Jinghong before Zhou Chi ascended the throne.

The drawings of the altar were painted by He Jinghong himself. At that time, He Jinghong once smiled and said to himself: "If this altar can be destroyed by war in the future, there may be no Temple of Heaven in the future."

He Jinghong did not expect that in the later generations, she would stand in front of the altar built by herself in her previous life, and sacrifice to heaven and earth to show that she was the destiny of heaven.

According to the rules, after the new emperor sacrificed the heavens, he would go to the Taimiao to worship his ancestors. This is true for every emperor. A founding emperor like Zhou Chi would build a Taimiao in the capital before ascending the throne to worship the ancestors of the Zhou family.

According to He Ran's meaning, she wanted to cancel this link.

But Feng Xieying and she argued with reason and listed to her the harms that would cause.

Yes, hazardous.

The emperor's every move had a profound impact.

If the emperor refuses to recognize his ancestors and disrespects his ancestors from the beginning, then officials and the people will follow suit.

Worried that she would do her own thing, Feng Xieying invited Lao Guanghuai. In fact, he was too worried. Although He Ran had a clear attitude, she was not unfair to adapt.

She was 80% sure that this body was the daughter of Master He and Lao. Master He abandoned his biological daughter on the snow. Whether it was a blessing or a misfortune, the little baby girl was not frozen to death. He was picked up by someone and later trained to be a killer. He started killing people at the age of eight or nine, and was silenced by the King of Jin at the age of fourteen.

He Ran has no good feelings for the Zhending He family. As for the original owner, the so-called birth favor is only directed to the original owner's mother, Lao, and as for the biological father of Master He, the moment he abandoned the original owner, between the original owner and him, It's just a dead revenge, no kindness.

However, as an emperor, He Ran could not abandon the He family, so even if Lao Guanghuai did not come forward, He Ran would still agree to worship his ancestors.

She had her own ideas, so she handed the matter over to He Zongqun.

Although He Zongqun was only a child of the He family, his achievements and the heights he could reach in the future were not comparable to those of the ancestors of the He family.

Just before He Zongqun returned to Zhending, the elders of the He family had already opened a ancestral hall and adopted He Zongqun's father who had been dead for many years to the name of the old master of the legitimate family. In this way, He Zongqun's house became a legitimate branch.

After hearing this, He Zongqun was amused and laughed.

He Zongqun asked someone to search everywhere and finally found an old man named He Zhiyi.

The old man is over 60 years old and became a scholar at the age of 18. Soon after he became a scholar, he became disabled because of saving people and never married for life. Over the years, he relied on his family's five acres of land and copying books. He wrote letters to support his life and never asked his relatives for money, but even so, some people in the clan still had his ideas.

He was disabled and could not go to the fields to farm. Over the years, the fields were rented to relatives. After a while, the relatives felt that the five acres of land belonged to him, and even the money for renting the land was not given.

Seeing that he was old now, he was worried that after his death, the five acres of land and the three tiled houses where He Zhiyi lived would be taken away by the clan, so he used both soft and hard work to adopt a grandson in his family to him.

Old Man He Zhiyi had long seen that the family was heartbroken and refused to adopt him, so the family came to make trouble every few days.

He Zongqun presented He Zhiyi's information to He Ran. After He Ran looked at it, he nodded: "It's him."

It was precisely because of the precedent of He Zongqun himself that the clan elders immediately knew what to do after they got his hint.

Old Master He has passed away for many years, and He Zongqun told them that when Mrs. He arrived in Jinling, he brought Mr. He San and his son to remarry. This is true. He Zongqun brought the marriage letter between Old Man Yu and Mrs. He, and He San The master's son He Shuquan even changed his surname, followed Old Man Yu's surname and changed his name to Yu Quan.

Hearing this, the elders of the He family were embarrassed and angry. The widows of this dynasty can remarry, and the old lady He can remarry, but she cannot go beyond the clan and bring her children and grandchildren to remarry, and even the surname of her grandson was changed. This is for the He family. humiliation.

The elders of the He family opened the ancestral hall again and separated the old lady He and his father and son from the family tree. Master He was an official and disappeared on his way to his post, so he could not follow him.

The clan elders made the decision for Master He and adopted He Ran and He Shuqiao to He Zhiyi's name.

In addition to bringing the marriage letter between Old Man Yu and Mrs. He, He also brought the divorce letter written by Lao Guanghuai for his deceased daughter for many years.

This book with Li was signed and stamped by the old man of the He family and sent to the yamen for filing. From then on, the two families had no relatives.

In this way, only the dead He Shuming was in the name of Master He.

There is no daughter's name on the family tree of Zhending. He Ran is the only one, and she has also opened a single page for her. Thanks to He Shuting, she doesn't know about this. If she knew that He Ran could be included in the family tree, If she can't, she might be angry.

And that fake daughter He Shuyuan, of course, is not in the genealogy.

Lao Guanghuai's two sons also came together to move the grave for Lao's family. Lao Da and Master He were finally separated from each other in the nine springs, and Lao's coffin was escorted back to Beijing.

Therefore, He Ran is still the daughter of the He family now, but it has nothing to do with Master He. She and He Shuqiao are now He Zhiyi's children.

He Ran couldn't go back, but He Shuqiao could do it. After he escorted Wu Guochang back to Beijing, he went to Zhending and kowtowed to He Zhiyi to recognize his relatives.

It is said that the relative who was determined to eat a desperate family learned that He Zhiyi had an extra heir, so he brought a dozen people to cause trouble, but before he could enter the door, he saw the soldiers standing outside. After asking, he found out that it was This heir was the chief of the army.

Relying on his surname He, the relative of the family came up with shamelessness and wanted to say a few sarcastic words, but was thrown out directly. The family now couldn't even cross the threshold of the lonely old man's house.

Without them asking, someone told them that the old man was amazing now. Not only did the tribes come to the door to ask about his well-being, but even the parents came over happily, but it is said that this situation will not last long. Because they are going to Beijing, as for the five acres of land and the three large blue brick buildings, you should not worry about it. Even if they don’t want it, they will never let you find a bargain.

Therefore, He Ran is going to worship his ancestors today, but he is still worshipping the ancestors of the He family, but it has nothing to do with the branch of Master He. He Zhiyi is still alive. A hundred years later, the old man's tablet will be enshrined in the Taimiao.

Now, in the Taimiao, in addition to the three generations of ancestors of He Zhiyi, there are also tablets of Lao's family.

Although Lao Shi was no longer a wife in the He family, she was still He Ran’s biological mother. Before she was buried again, He Ran named her Mrs. Jingci.

At this moment, He Ran stood in front of Mrs. Jingci's tablet and sincerely worshiped her. Mrs. Jingci was the biological mother of her original body. Lao Guanghuai's family truly regarded He Ran as their granddaughter. In the court, the Lao family was even more of a meritorious minister. .

After offering sacrifices to his ancestors, He Ran climbed the dragon chariot again and returned to the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and the throne ceremony officially began.

Under the **** of her beloved, she walked down the dragon chariot and raised her foot to the steps. She kept moving forward, climbing higher and higher, walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and sat on the high dragon throne.

Amid the unison congratulations of civil and military officials, He Ran ascended the throne as emperor, the country was named Cheng, and the year was named Taiping. Taiping.

He Ran likes these two words very much. They are simple, but the meaning is very good.

But it is still the end of April, and the era will not be officially changed after the first day of the first lunar month next year.

Old man He Zhiyi ascended the throne as emperor with He Ran, and was also named Marquis of Fu'an.

The founding emperors of all generations would posthumously confer their ancestors as emperors, but He Ran did not. This time, Feng Xieying did not preach, He Ran had only one generation of conferred He Zhiyi as the Marquis of Fu'an. He Shuqiao, as his heir, could not inherit his title, and He Shuqiao's The future lies in his military achievements.

Among the officials who came to watch the ceremony, there was also a noticeable woman, who was Nong Liuniang who had first entered Beijing.

After the throne ceremony, He Ran summoned Nong Liuniang alone. The two of them had been friends for many years, but this was the first time they met.

Nong Liuniang also accepted the official position given to her by He Ran. She was still the King of Dong, but she was also a third-rank official in the Dacheng Dynasty.

In addition to Nong Liuniang, He Ran also summoned Wu Guochang.

Wu Guochang has been back to Beijing for some days. He Ran asked someone to find the Wu clan and invited a respected old couple to come to Beijing to take on the responsibility of Wu Guochang's nurturing and teaching.

Now he is not the King of Chang'an, but just the Young Master Wu.

No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one reading!

The five-year-old young master Wu adapted to the new environment very quickly. When he was in Longxi, his health was not very good, and he had frequent minor illnesses. Perhaps the climate in the capital was more suitable for him. After coming to the capital, he not only stopped getting sick, And he gained a lot of weight.

When He Ran saw him, his face was chubby and red. He treated him in a normal manner as an adult. When He Ran asked him, he could also answer childishly, not like the legendary stupidity.

Obviously, this is just an ordinary child. As long as he is not measured by the emperor's standards, he is a normal child.

In fact, most children are like this, with no genius in many places.

He Ran gave him a set of four treasures in the study, encouraging him to study hard and improve every day, and serve the country when he grows up.

Several years later, Wu Guochang was admitted to the scholar, but he never passed the imperial examination. Fortunately, his family was well-off, so Wu Guochang simply took a break and opened a private school, which enrolled more than a dozen students every year. He did not inherit his ancestral property and became a military general. , and he did not achieve much, but he did not learn bad things, nor did he go to extremes. He taught and educated people, gave birth to children, and enjoyed the peace of prosperity leisurely and contentedly.

After the throne ceremony, He Ran's edict was published in the morning newspaper and spread throughout the world a month later.

But in a small town far southwest, it started to rain heavily again. Zhou Cangyue was soaked in a chicken and rushed back to the tent. He saw several personal soldiers carrying pots and jars to collect the rain. The tent was too old , there are already many leaks.

Zhou Cangyue carefully took out an oil cloth bag from his arms. His whole body was wet, but the things inside the oil cloth bag were dry and refreshing, not even a drop of water.

It was a morning newspaper, dated April 29th.

And it is now May 29th, and it has been a full month.

There is no way, I have left Aoki, but it is still very far from the capital.

People in the town have never heard of the morning newspaper, and there are not many people who can read. This morning newspaper is the only scholar in the town, and asked someone to bring it back from Guidi.

In fact, at the scholar's house, Zhou Cangyue had read the contents of the morning newspaper, and pointed to the throne edict in the morning newspaper, and said to the scholar: "How did you know that I know the emperor?"

Scholar Master

Now, Zhou Cangyue was sitting in the leaking tent, listening to the ding dong sound of the rain falling into the pots and pots, looking at the edict word by word.

Confirmed that he had already memorized it, he asked all the civil servants in the army to call over, and then he generously handed them the newspaper, asking them to copy the edicts on it into hundreds and send them to the army.

At this time, the white dog walked in and asked, "There was no emperor before, but it was the same as there was no emperor, but now it was different. Now there is a real emperor, so what should we do?"

Zhou Cangyue: "What do we do, what does it have to do with you?"

White Dog: "Our Tiger Wei Army, we are Tiger Wei Army, not Ran's Army. Look at the Chang'an Army, Ganzhou Army, and Zhuang Lang Army. Now they have changed their flags and are called Ran's Army. Looking at the world, there is no such thing as Ran. The only ones who are military names are bandits, we are.”

Zhou Cangyue thought about it, but he was not in a hurry to do so.

"Don't worry about these things for now. When the rain stops tomorrow, hurry up and clear out the remnants of Baoxiang King. This is the most important thing."

In a blink of an eye, the Huwei Army had left that small town and went to another town. Another month later, they arrived at a larger city, and Zhou Cangyue finally received a letter from the capital.

The whole three letters were written to him by He Ran. The earliest letter was nine months ago. In the past nine months, He Ran wrote him a letter every three or four months. Unfortunately, these letters were not delivered to him as soon as possible.

The third letter He Ran gave him was April 28th.

On the night after the throne ceremony, He Ran wrote this letter to him with a light.

The letter is very short, with only three lines of words.

"I'm the emperor!"

"Do you want to come to Beijing?"

"I'll invite you to drink."

Zhou Cangyue looked at the letter and only had fifteen words, but each word looked like a little hammer, hammering on his heart.

Zhou Cangyue sat with his heart for a long time, and suddenly, he jumped up from the chair: "Prepare horses, prepare horses, I'm going to the capital!"

When Zhou Cangyue rode out of the city, the rain stopped after the clouds, and there was a group of ragged people on the side of the road.

Zhou Cangyue grabbed the reins and asked, "I left the city so early, where are you going?"

The old man, led by the people, said with a smile: "General, we will not fight now, we are going home to farm."

Zhou Cangyue waved to them and continued to ride the horse forward. He didn't go far. He met a group of people, dragging their children and holding their children. Although they were dressed in rags, they had light in their eyes and smiles on their faces. They went home because of the war, and they had already traveled to many places, and now they can finally go home.

"General, you won't fight now. Are you going home?"

Zhou Cangyue laughed and said loudly, "I want to go to the capital to meet an important person."

At this time, the sun is just right and the breeze is not dry.
