Chapter 736: Legendary Woman
Suddenly, the bells and drums rang out in unison, the music was melodious, the dances were dancing, and the festival began. Emperor Jing Kang's expression was solemn, and he led the way into the halberd gate, and the ministers followed.
At this time, who dares to come forward and admonish?
Everyone had to clean up their bodies and minds and concentrate on the festival.
Although Liang Xinming was not afraid of them, he was always on guard against them, and he was relieved to see that they had no chance to attack at this moment.
She looked at the bright yellow figure in front of her and was secretly grateful. At Ci'an Temple that day, Emperor Jing Kangdi hinted at her that he didn't care whether she was a man or a woman, he only cared about her loyalty. She did not identify herself at the time, for fear that the situation like today would lead him to a stalemate against his ministers. If she wants to solve this dilemma on her own, he just needs to make a fair decision. Even so, the emperor's clever and blatant favoritism just now still touched her very much, because she knew that it was not easy for him to do this, even if he was the emperor, there were some things that he could not make his own decisions.
As soon as she was relieved, she had the leisure to pay attention to the festival and pay attention to the layout of the temple.
Behind the halberd gate, it is the main building of the temple, there are three major halls in the front, middle and back, which are the hall of enjoyment, the dormitory and the temple.
Enjoy the hall is also the main hall, face wide eleven rooms, into the depth of six rooms, is located in the three-layer white marble Sumeru seat, the courtyard is broad, the main hall is majestic. Each temple in the hall is set up with a golden lacquer carved dragon carved phoenix emperor god seat, and the incense case is offered in front of the seat. Every day before the sacrifice, the tablets of the emperors and queens of the past dynasties are invited from the dormitory and the palace to the shrine of the temple to be placed, and the sacrifice is completed.
Fifteen rooms on both sides of the east and west halls, the east side hall of the hall is dedicated to the tablet of meritorious royal family, and the west side hall of the hall is dedicated to the tablet of meritorious heroes with different surnames. Every day before the sacrifice, the tablet of the heroes is invited from the matching hall to the enjoyment hall and placed, and the sacrifice is returned.
In the sound of drums, the ministers followed Emperor Jing Kang into the hall of enjoyment.
Liang Xinming was very glad that his official position was promoted at this time, and he was not far from the emperor, and he could take a closer look at the tablets and statues of the previous emperors on the throne, while the third-grade officials were far away, and they could only see the backs of others.
In ancient times, each temple was dedicated to a master, that is, each generation of emperors occupied a temple. About the beginning of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the temple of the Son of Heaven is only one temple, a temple has many rooms, each room is for a master, and the heroes are worthy of the corresponding temple court of the Son of Heaven.
In the Dajing Tai Temple, especially the temple court of Emperor Shengwu (Emperor Yingwu) is worthy of many heroes: the green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu four spirits are domineering, and the world's capable ministers are as resourceful as the sea. Although it is only a tablet statue, it is shocking to look at, and I can't help but think about how magnificent the "heroic and prosperous era" was back then! I can't wait to be in it, and I regret that I was born at the wrong time.
Among them, some of the heroes have undergone changes.
The White Tiger royal family has gone through two terms.
The first White Tiger royal family was the Zheng family.
The second White Tiger royal family is the Lin family.
The descendants of the two White Tiger royal families rebelled, but the results of their ancestors who were worthy of enjoying the Taimiao were disposed of differently: one stayed, and the other withdrew.
There are several reasons for this:
First, Dajing has set up four spirits to protect the country, and one spirit must not be missing.
Second, at the beginning of the establishment of the Four Spirits, almost all of them were knighted for their military exploits in expanding the territory, and Zheng Hao, the first generation of the White Tiger King of the Zheng family, was knighted for his merits in destroying the country. Moreover, Zheng Hao's sister Zilan County Lord married Qin Lin, the first generation of Qinglong King, and this political marriage contributed to the return of the Qinglong King to Dajing, and Anguo became a vassal state of Dajing. Therefore, although the descendants of the Zheng family rebelled, Zheng Hao, the White Tiger King, still deserved to enjoy the temple court of Emperor Wu.
However, the Lin family was not as good as the Zheng family, so Lin Xiaotian's father and son rebelled, causing their ancestor White Tiger King Lin Yangsheng's tablet to be withdrawn from the temple court of Emperor Yanwei.
In front of Emperor Shengwu's throne, Emperor Jing Kang stayed for the longest time, and I don't know if he understood something about Emperor Yingwu.
Two others were the most shocked.
One is Qin Ivan, the little green dragon king.
Qin Ivan finally saw the tablet and statue of Qin Lin, the first generation of the Blue Dragon King and the founder of Anguo, and at the same time, he was excited, and his heart was furious!
Qin Lin created Anguo, one of his sons went to the wild land overseas to establish a new Anguo, the total territory of the two countries is not smaller than Dajing, such a great achievement, but can only be condescended to the position of deserving, because in Dajing, Qin Lin is a minister!
Qin Yifan felt that his ancestors were kings in Anguo, and they were like hostages in Dajing, and they endured humiliation and burdens in exchange for the glory of their descendants.
He felt injustice for his ancestors!
When things are uneven, Qin Ifan's anger is too strong, and he is immediately noticed by the Vermilion Bird King and the Xuanwu King. The two kings tacitly exchanged glances, and probably guessed that Qin Ifan's mind was to complain about his ancestors. The two kings also admired Qin Lin and admired his foresight, but Qin Ivan did not have Qin Lin's wisdom, he only had utilitarianism in his eyes, and he could not comprehend the broad-mindedness and courage of his ancestors at all.
During the festival, this scene was obscured.
Another shock was Leung.
Because in the temple of Emperor Shengwu, in addition to the tablets of the green dragon and white tiger Vermilion Bird Xuanwu and all the ministers, the tablet of the Xuanwu female general is also here, which is next to the tablet of his brother Xuanwu Wang, which is particularly eye-catching among a group of men, highlighting the Shengwu Emperor's tolerance and inclusiveness.
Liang Xinming looked at the majestic and bright-eyed statue of the emperor, and had mixed feelings: this brother dared to use even the rebel brothers, created a generation of Qinglong King, and also expanded the territory of Dajing to the far north and traveled overseas, and his mind and courage are by no means comparable to any emperor in history.
"Although Weichen was not born in the Yingwu period, please ask Emperor Shengwu to bless Weichen and survive today's catastrophe safely. Liang Xinming, who came from a civilized society, prayed silently to the statue of Emperor Yingwu in his heart. It is not that she is ridiculous and pins her hopes on the dead, but out of real admiration for this legendary emperor, she has made fellowship with him in her heart, and draws courage and strength from him through prayer.
For the Xuanwu female general, Liang Xinming was both envious and moved. She doesn't care about what she deserves, what she cares about is the glory that female generals win for women in this patriarchal society. Unlike her, who has worked hard all these years, all she wants is to save her life. In this way, those people still refused to let her go.
Born ahead of one's time?
Haven't met the Lord?
Emperor Jing Kang is considered a Ming monarch, but I have to say that it is still worse than Emperor Yingwu. A strong monarch can follow the ancestral system, or he can create a new system, which will become the ancestral system that future generations will follow, and the descendants will not dare to change it easily.
Wang Heng also stared at the tablet of the female general Xuanwu.
are all women, why is his Xin'er suppressed?
He was aroused!
After Emperor Jing Kang's sacrifice, he walked to the next temple and shrine, Wang Heng and Liang Xinming's footsteps slowed down for a moment, and they were immediately noticed by Su Xiang and others, and they were suddenly empowered one by one, and understood Liang Xinming's calculation: she chose to disclose her identity in Taimiao today, because she came to the Xuanwu female general who was worthy of enjoying Taimiao, which was a precedent for women to dress up as men, a living reference, and it was reused by Emperor Yingwu.
Everyone secretly complained about Emperor Yingwu.
The female general Xuanwu is the Yingwu Dili who overrides public opinion and insists that she deserve to enjoy the Taimiao. The reason is: she and her brother Xuanwu King Zhang Qian are twin brothers and sisters, almost another Xuanwu King. Every major battle is a brother and sister teaming up, and the Xuanwu female general disguises herself as a man and dresses up as a brother to surprise and defeat the enemy. King Xuanwu's contribution to expanding the territory is indispensable to his sister, half of whom is a female general.
This is the reason on the surface, no matter how grandiose it is, it can't be compared to the Xuanwu female general is daughter, in addition to the royal temple, how can there be a woman with a different surname who deserves it?
But Emperor Yingwu insisted, who would dare not obey?
No one knows why Emperor Yingwu attaches so much importance to the female general Xuanwu, and some villains once suspected that Emperor Yingwu was in love with the female general, but after the female general got married, she has been suppressing and governing foreign races for the imperial court in the northwest, and she is already old when she returns. The prestige of Emperor Yingwu, coupled with this fact, made no one dare to slander rumors.
Today, Liang Xinming wants to borrow the residual power of Emperor Yingwu!
