Chapter 1069: Peace and Prosperity
After having lunch from the palace, Zhou Changying and Zhou Tianqi went back to the Seven Princes' Mansion together. I saw that hundreds of ordinary people who were nearly half a hundred years old had gathered in front of the Seven Princes' Mansion, and a small number of them were young people who came with their elders.
Chu Chengxiu, as the long history of the Seven Princes' Mansion, has already arranged today's memorial work. An offering table was set up outside the house, and the spirit cards of the old general Feng Baichuan and the five young generals of the Feng family were placed on the table.
Although they all knew that Feng Xiangyu, the fifth general of the phoenix, was still alive, they could not only stand the tablet of the fifth general of the phoenix, which made people suspicious.
Chu Chengshan, as the commander of the guards of the Seven Princes' Mansion, took the guards in the Seven Princes' Mansion and stood in the distance, observing the actions of the people to prevent anyone from taking the opportunity to make trouble.
Ah Fu and Ah Li also took the maid ring in the house to help outside the house, moving chairs for the elderly, serving tea and water, and delivering pastries.
While waiting for His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to return, the people talked in a low voice, praising His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince's benevolence and generosity.
Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Changying appeared at the same time, which made the people excited. Although Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has not been out of the house for many years, her heroic deeds of defending the family and the country, and her righteous and awe-inspiring image, are still very impressive in the hearts of the people in the capital and are respected by the people.
Zhou Changying and Zhou Tianqi first thanked everyone, and expressed their gratitude to everyone on behalf of the martyrs of the Feng family. Then, Chu Chengxiu read a sacrificial text. Hearing this, the people burst into tears, and involuntarily knelt down in front of the tablets of General Feng Lao and the five generals of the Feng family, and bowed again and again.
Finally, Zhou Tianqi and Zhou Changying together offered incense to General Feng Lao and the five generals of the Feng family and bowed down.
After the ceremony, Zhou Changying took Ning Wuwu back to the carriage and walked towards the eldest princess's mansion.
Zhou Tianqi stood at the door of the Seven Princes' Mansion and watched the people leave, until the last old man wiped his tears and turned around and left.
However, it's not over yet. Some people were afraid that the government would pick up people and didn't dare to come, but when they saw Zhou Changying coming, they also rushed over one after another.
Then, after some officials went home and changed into civilian clothes, they arrived before dark, hurriedly put incense and saluted in front of the spirit tablets of General Feng Lao and the five generals of the Feng family, and then arched their hands to Zhou Tianqi and left without saying a word.
It wasn't until it was dark that the people and officials went home, and Zhou Tianqi turned around and went back to the Seven Princes' Mansion. Today's sacrifice, though very simple, is not extravagant or grand. However, the long history, guards and maids in the Seven Princes' Mansion were very friendly and thoughtful, which made the people praise each other. The actions of the Seven Princes also left a very deep impression on the hearts of the people.
What started out as a sacrifice with only a few hundred people turned out to be thousands of people. This was something that even Zhou Tianqi hadn't expected, and it made his heart feel very shocked. He finally understood why the Feng family army was willing to spill his blood for the sake of these people. Looking at these simple and kind people, Zhou Tianqi was very excited in his heart, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely create a peaceful and prosperous world for them.
After Zhou Changying finished talking about what he had seen and heard today, Lin Wan listened to it with relish, but he had a question in his heart, was the thunderbolt on a sunny day real? How could it be so coincidental?
Lin Wan didn't believe that there were really gods in the sky who would help him, so he couldn't help but ask suspiciously: "Master, do you think that thunderbolt in the clear sky is real? Or did someone deliberately arrange it?"
Zhou Changying smiled faintly, shook his head, and said, "I don't know very well as a teacher, but if it is really artificial, then this person must be the emperor." Except for the emperor, who can appoint the guardian of the imperial tomb?"
"The guardian of the Imperial Tomb, master, who is that, how can he make a thunderbolt in the clear sky?" Lin Wan continued to ask.
Zhou Changying thought for a while, and said with some hesitation: "I heard that although the voice came from the air, I heard the echo of the valley, and that valley is where the imperial tomb is located. Except for me and the emperor, no one has ever been there. When my father died, the emperor and I entered the imperial tomb for the first time and met the guardian of the imperial tomb. It was an old man with very high martial arts skills and a very mysterious one. I don't know how old he is, but I remember him saying that he was there before our father ascended the throne. If he wanted to make the illusion of a thunderbolt, I don't doubt that he had the ability. And, crucially, the Queen Mother was unaware of his existence. Therefore, if the emperor wants to convince the queen mother that this is the will of heaven, asking him for help is indeed the only way. ”
Lin Wan nodded suddenly and said, "I see, the emperor can be regarded as having a heart." Presumably, after this time, the Queen Mother should no longer have any doubts, and she will no longer dare to defy the cycle of heaven and karma. ”
Zhou Changying frowned slightly, glanced at Lin Wan lightly, and there was a hint of reproach in his eyes, but he didn't open his mouth to accuse her.
Lin Wan suddenly realized that he was quick to speak just now, and he didn't shy away from saying what he was thinking. However, Lu Qishan is Zhou Changying's mother after all, how could she say such a thing in front of Zhou Changying? Lin Wan smiled, stuck out her tongue, and admitted her mistake in a low voice: "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong. ”
Feng Zhanggong had already prepared the meal, hurriedly came to the rescue, and said respectfully: "Your Royal Highness Princess, the meals have been arranged, please take a seat." ”
Zhou Changying didn't take Lin Wan's words to heart, but she didn't forgive her, just nodded, took her hand, and walked to the table and sat down together. Ning Wuwu sat on the other side of Zhou Changying, and waited honestly with Lin Wan for Zhou Changying to pick up the chopsticks before starting to eat.
At the dinner table, Lin Wan tried her best to please Zhou Changying, helping Zhou Changying to clip this for a while, and helping Zhou Changying to clip that for a while, enthusiastic and thoughtful, coaxing Zhou Changying to be happy, and he had already forgotten why he was angry with Lin Wan.
After dinner, Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu sent Zhou Changying back to the dormitory before returning to Wuwu Xiaozhu together.
Last night, Lin Wan wanted to sleep with Ning Wuwu, but Zhou Tianqi came, so he didn't lie on the same bed with Ning Wuwu to talk. Tonight finally got their wish, and the two of them whispered all night with their heads next to each other.
Starting from Lin Wan going to the Medicine King Valley, first the simple and comfortable life in the Medicine King Valley, then Zhao Liniang decided to come back, and Zhao Qingpeng left. Finally, he also talked about Lin Huixin's changes today, and the day after tomorrow, Zhao Liniang entered Beijing, and Lin Wan wanted to join her.
Ning Wuwu also talked about some things that happened in the capital, and the two of them talked until dawn before falling asleep, and when they woke up, it was almost noon.
