Chapter 264: Let Him Wait for Xiao Han
The rest of the journey was dreary.
Liang Chen couldn't hear the sound of speech inside, nor could he hear the laughter, and he couldn't help but tense his nerves. When Ziying Pegasus came over again and asked if he needed to rest, Liang Chen asked the emperor.
"Okay, let's rest!"
Xiao Han said: "Then, Your Majesty, Xiao Han went back to the car behind." ”
Ying Zheng said "um".
When Xiao Han got out of the car, both of them breathed a sigh of relief. It's too uncomfortable to feel like you're on your mind.
Ziying glanced at Xiaohan, clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and rode the horse backwards, looking like she was busy with work and didn't care about anyone.
Xiao Han snorted softly and twisted his head to the side.
It's a shame that his eldest brother is good to him, white-eyed wolf!
Nima, if you can't keep Fusu, no one wants to have a good life! When the time comes, you will also be killed by the rebels!
……
bumpy all the way, when I arrived in Yongcheng, people who had already stood outside the city to greet him.
I got out of the car, and it was not too early. The emperor came down to rest, and the others had to gather together and wait for the ceremony to begin.
Taizhu Ling Ni Jing and Fengchang Jiang Zhizu waited outside the Pantheon early, in Xiao Han's eyes, the two of them were one scorched yellow and the other was black, no matter how they looked, they were farther away from the divine realm and closer to the world. Xiao Han thought, those officials who followed the emperor in the back, there must be some people who were worried about the emperor's eyes. This is too substandard!
Oh, forgive him, it's okay for them to win the surname Soma!
What's the matter, Zhao Gao is also here?
This discovery made Xiao Han's mood not beautiful at once. Didn't he break his leg? In less than two months, he was back like this?
I saw Zhao Gao on crutches. Easily sandwiched in the middle of the crowd, the crutch seemed to be just in case, and if you didn't take it, you could walk. Others nodded at Zhao Gao, and Zhao Gao also responded generously, but he didn't see how embarrassing it was for such a majestic person to carry a cane!
How could he recover so quickly? Xiaoqiang who can't be killed? The leg is broken, the house is burned, why is there no one who is a little discouraged?
It's so depressing. This. This, this is simply eyeless!
She lazily shuffled, grinding and rubbing, and stepped aside. Saying. Her identity. It's really not easy to get mixed in with the officials.
Some of the officials who passed by her glanced hurriedly. He hurriedly flashed his eyes to the side, but no one stared at him shamelessly.
Xiao Han saw Li Si and also saw Meng Yi. He and Meng Tian have a bit of imagination, whiter and more elegant than Meng Tian, the last time she led the children of the Meng family to the farm, she stood behind Fusu and took a look.
Li Si nodded at Xiao Han, cleared his throat, and twisted his head to the side.
It's not just that Li Si is old and steady, everyone is like this, near this pantheon, there are gods everywhere, and everyone has become very careful in what they say and do, and even their steps are gentle.
Xiao Han simply retreated to the corridor behind the side.
The sacrificial activity is very solemn, especially this kind of national sacrifice, the procedure cannot tolerate a little confusion, and a person like her who is embarrassed really doesn't know how to stand. Liang Chen didn't explain to her, and the emperor didn't mention it.
Then be a watcher!
The pantheon mentioned above actually refers to this large area of buildings, and there is a temple in the depths of the pines and cypresses, which is the pantheon in the narrow sense. But the sacrifice to heaven and earth must be in an open space, and the heavens must see the sincerity of the world.
Directly east of the temple is a mound built of rammed earth. The people standing below looked from a distance, and there were already black-clothed officials who belonged to Fengchang standing above. When the scene quieted down and the line was lined up, Taizhu Ling Ni Jing bowed to the emperor and said softly, and the emperor nodded, meaning that it was time to start.
Ni Jing waved his hand, and the subordinates holding the tray lowered their heads one by one and carefully walked onto the globe. Then, put things lightly.
First of all, the cloth, look at the luster, is the best product nowadays.
Immediately afterwards, the "six animals" and "five grains" were also stacked separately.
People don't move, they just smell their breath.
Ni Jing held a jade cong and bowed to the emperor. The emperor lifted it above his head. The civil and military ministers looked at the jade cong solemnly.
Xiao Han couldn't see clearly, so he could only stretch his neck. It looked like it was blue-black, and it was a cylinder, with an arc on the top and a square cylinder on the bottom. She knew that this kind of thing looked simple, but it was actually of good texture. It has been exhibited in the Capital Museum, almost as wide as an ordinary mobile phone, and the height is the same.
The Qin people are still black, and they started from Rong Di, so the style of the ritual is also simple and rude. She has seen several pieces of jade in Fusu, and from the perspective of the carving, the lines are extremely exquisite, and the patterns are not tired of complicated. Probably, the requirements for rituals and ornaments in this era are completely different.
The simpler the communication with heaven and earth, the more natural it is.
Then, I saw the First Emperor walking up the steps of the mound. Separated by a distance of five paces, the ministers took the stage in turn according to their official ranks. Xiao Han thought to himself that if he looked at it from above, the slow-moving flow of people on the ground must be particularly like ants queuing up. They're all black and solemn, that's a funeral for the queen ant, right?
Seeing that they were all going up, Xiao Han hesitated, not knowing whether to take the stage or not. The emperor didn't say what she was asked to do, and Liang Chen didn't give a detailed explanation. However, they shouldn't have let her come here to watch the excitement from afar.
"Let's go up!" A whispered voice next to him.
The corner of the eye told her that this was the child. She ignored him.
"Go up, in front of the child! If you have something, whisper! Ziying's voice was calm and clear.
Xiao Han "um" for a moment, and then she realized that Ziying is a person with a heart. She took a step, pressing the rhythm ahead. The child and the baby followed. Both of them looked down at the road and did not squint.
"Give a message to Fusu for me, just say, remember what he once said to Xiaohan, he wants to live well and accompany me. I'll find a way to find him in Kamigun. Be sure to keep him waiting! ”
There was no response from the back.
Xiao Han was anxious, slowed down his pace, and asked in a suppressed voice, "Remember?" ”
"Let him live well, waiting for you." Ziying hesitated and repeated. That sounded strange to him.
"Hmm. That's it, you can't go out of shape. This is very important to your eldest brother! ”
"Hmm." Ziying replied sullenly.
Then the two did not communicate again. When they arrived at the platform, the two stood far away, each looking ahead, looking solemn and respectful.
At this time, the music started, and a group of chimes on each side of the crowd began to play. The musicians, all dressed in black burqas and holding T-shaped hammers, beat the music in a slow, rhythmic manner according to a pre-rehearsed score.
The sound of the chimes is really strange. Just one sound. It spreads far away, as if it has the power to soak people's hearts. Xiao Han couldn't help but stand up straight.
The Chinese people attach great importance to the six arts of the gentleman, and the inner spirit of the "six arts" is all in common with the principle of governing the country. This is especially true of music. In their opinion. The "palace" in the pentatonic represents the monarch. "Shang" represents the courtiers, "Jiao" represents the people, and "Zheng" represents matters. "Feather" represents the artifact. The king, the subjects, the people, the affairs, and the things are in harmony, and there will be no dull and noisy tunes.
At this time, the sky is blue, the mound is high, the crowd is quiet, and this solemn and distant sound seems to be transmitted to the sky, to the earth, and to the harmony of the four directions.
With the sound of the music, Xiao Han's psychology of watching the excitement just now disappeared unconsciously, and she felt that the qiē around her was gradually becoming sacred.
When the music stopped and the aftermath was still there, the First Emperor took the lead in kneeling, and the ministers followed.
Xiao Han couldn't help but kneel. In her previous life, she was a character who entered the temple when she saw her and worshiped when she saw the gods, but at that time, she was mostly following the crowd, but she was not necessarily sincere, and now in this atmosphere, she really feels that the gods are on the side, and she has to come up with a pious attitude.
"Join the government, lead the civil and military ministers, and sue the gods of heaven and earth ......"
His voice was not as good as a chime, but it also felt that it came from the depths of his chest, his voice was high-pitched, his speech was soothing, his words were resolute, and he prayed to heaven and earth reverently, as if he wanted to send every word and every sentence to the ears of the gods of the four directions with unmistakable accuracy. At this moment, Xiao Han felt that the dead trees in late autumn were listening, the birds in the sky were listening, and the insects and snakes that were about to hibernate underground were also listening.
When man achieves success in the face of nature, he prays to heaven and earth for better care and gifts. When people are frustrated in the face of nature, they beg the gods to give them more understanding and tolerance. When people can't meet their heart's desires with all their might, where can they talk without communicating with heaven and earth?
At this moment, the rows of backs kneeling in front of them are holding their sincere hearts.
This situation made Xiao Han no longer laugh at Yingzheng's stubbornness and naivety about eternal life.
Everyone wants to live well, but he is just more qualified and daring to make demands.
In front of heaven and earth, everyone is a childish child, and what child does not make a request? It depends on whether the parents of heaven and earth have the ability to satisfy his mind and ability.
The sacrifice is over. Everyone is tired.
When he was about to board the car, Liang Chen came over again and informed Xiao Han of the emperor's car. Xiao Han hesitated, and in full view of everyone, she had no choice but to go up.
Zhao Gao smiled playfully, and he turned his head and snorted at Meng Yi. Meng Yi ignored him. He knew what he meant. In the past, it was his honor to travel in the same car with the emperor. Now, hehe, it's a replacement!
He didn't care about that. The status of the Mongolian family is not made by being squeezed out one by another, it is the result of several generations of painstaking efforts. Only a flattering villain like Zhao Gao cares about the slightest bit between him and the emperor.
Besides, how does Miss Xiaohan compare with his role?
It's just that ——, just worshiped the gods today, and there are some words that I can't even think of!
Zhao Gao saw that Meng Yi didn't react, and his heart "sneered", fake Qinggao!
He turned his head towards Lis, of course the old man saw everything, but the old man was deep, he coughed, and went into the curtain.
The old man is still old, and the journey is tiring, and it is enough for him to drink a pot!
……
Look at Xiao Han who got into the car, Ying Zheng didn't say anything, just closed his eyes, he was tired enough for this toss.
"Your Majesty, let's go, shall we?" Liang Chen outside the curtain asked.
"Hmm."
The wheels moved, and the horses' hooves clattered.
When many cars roll together, I feel that the sound of this convergence is monotonous and harmonious, and after listening to it for a long time, it is like a lullaby.
If Fusu was in the car, she could lean on. Now, I can only hold on. In order not to make a mistake for herself, she secretly opened a corner curtain. Rest your head on the pane. The cool breeze blew, but it didn't bother to see, but the blow made the brain tingle and cold.
"Isn't that cool?" It was the emperor's voice.
Xiao Han retracted his head, covered his head with his hands, and said duplicitously: "It's not cold,...... Pretty good! ”
Ying Zheng shook his head, who can't see this nonsense?
"Today. Why the head? ”
"Huh?" Xiao Han was stunned for a moment. Is this question worth asking?
"Why?" Ying Zheng asked again.
Xiao Han thought about it and said honestly: "When ——, went out today, Xiao Han asked Aunt Chun Tao to help wash it. Because it's a sacrifice. So be clean. Lots of hair. Not easy to dry. Now I feel that it is quite warm with my hair draped. It's like a blanket. ”
Ying Zheng smiled, this girl is just interesting when she speaks. However, she looks so good with her hair draped.
"In the future, let's put it on!"
Xiao Han looked at Yingzheng a little confused, is the relationship between them to the point where they can talk about hairstyles?
"Your Majesty, in Xiaohan's hometown, you also worship God."
"Huh?" This surprised Yingzheng, does God also worship God? Is it a small god who worships a big god?
"It's true, but not everybody. In Xiaohan's hometown, each family may have its own different gods, everyone respects their own gods, and no one thinks there is anything wrong. Xiao Han's own family only worships ancestors and is not godly. But there is also understanding and respect for Godly people. ”
Ying Zheng listened with interest: "Oh? So what do they pray for? ”
Xiao Han shook his head, this question is not easy to say.
"Your Majesty, they each have their own wishes and desires. Xiao Han himself may have made a wish, hoping that he would be healthy and beautiful, but nothing else has been promised. I once had a drink with my friends and joked that I would like to toast to the peace of the world. "That time, that part of Syria was too noisy.
Ying Zheng pursed his lips in disapproval and said, "You are not sincere, how can you joke about this kind of thing, the gods of heaven and earth are listening!" ”
Xiao Han nodded and said seriously: "What the emperor said is that this kind of thing is sincere. You really want to stop the war, you are willing to rush forward for this goal, just talking, it will definitely not work. ”
"Do you immortals also have war? So what are they for? ”
Xiao Han frowned and looked at the emperor, when did she admit that she was an immortal, she was just forced by him to be helpless last time, and said casually.
"For what? There are many reasons, for money, for women, for land, for faith, hehe, none of them are for eternal life! ”
Ying Zheng glanced at her dissatisfied, if he didn't like to hear it, she would say it when she had a chance. If you can't help, you can't help, and you can't do this, uh, be a god, God has to have a god!
He digressed and said, "Do you fight for women?" Is that woman beautiful? ”
Xiao Han smiled and said, "Well, it should be very beautiful, I haven't seen it, her name is Helen." For her, the fight was inexorable, and many people died. Hehe, two kings, 100,000 troops, known as the Trojan War. ”
Ying Zheng shook his head disapprovingly and said, "For the sake of women, it's not worth it, it's too naïve!" ”
Xiao Han couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Han feels that everyone is naïve in their own way, so it depends on their own perspective." There was a man named Rabin, and he was a man of the prime minister's position, and their country and the countries next to it were constantly fighting and dying because of the conflict over the border. There seems to be nothing else in the country as a whole, and all eyes and energy are focused on border conflicts. Later, Rabin came up with a plan called 'Land for Peace', in which he intended to give up the land they had historically occupied and let his people live happily ever after. Does the emperor think his ideas are naïve? ”
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Childish, as naïve as Fusu." He thought of his son's opinion about the Huns.
The young lady smiled, sighed and said, "Yes, it's naïve! But, they are cute because they are childish. Xiao Han likes such naïve people. ”
Ying Zheng turned his head and glanced at her, he just said it casually, and she followed his words, it was really a needle!
"Your Majesty, Xiao Han thinks that people who say they are naïve are because they can't be detached. Taking a step back is going further, and many people don't understand this truth after living all their lives. They think it's good to get it, but how can it be enough? For example, the horses that pull the cart for us, keep moving forward, keep moving forward, why not stop to eat some grass and look at the scenery in front of us? (To be continued.) )
