Chapter 972: Brilliant Hanwei (96)
Dong Zhuang's family is just a small microcosm of the many families in Tianhe County, in the half a year that the Qi army occupied Tianhe County and Jicheng, countless families were destroyed, and Tianhe County, which was once the richest in Yan Kingdom, fell from heaven to hell all of a sudden, looted, and plundered, even if the family was rich, it would be reduced to abject poverty overnight.
This is also the reason why the Han army recovered Tianhe, drove away the Qi people, and became the king of Han on behalf of the emperor, the people of Tianhe County, including Jicheng, basically did not have any rebound, but at the foot of the world, they generally have great nostalgia for the past dynasty, because they were the beneficiaries of that dynasty.
The inability of Ji Ling to let the people here suffer an unforgettable ordeal, the new monarch ascended the throne, the rain was in the world, and the old dynasty quickly faded into the people's reflection, if there were, it was only the last half of the painful memory.
People, for painful memories, are always more profound than happy memories.
The Han Dynasty is changing bit by bit in silence, one after another decrees are issued from the council hall and sent to all parts of the country by fast horses, officials, merchants, and peasants are all in this decree, caring about the part related to themselves, and naturally some people are happy and some are sad. And to create this qiē lofty, at this moment, on the Phoenix Mountain, which is more than ten miles away from Jicheng, a few small grass houses have been built to guard the tombs of their parents.
Gao Yuan ascended the throne as the king, and naturally wanted to push the favor to the ancestor of the eighteenth generation Gao Yuan himself was not interested in this set, but under Xun Xiu's insistence, it could only be operated by the Ministry of Rites, Gao Yuan was purely a rubber stamp in this matter, and he didn't care about it at all.
Jiang Jiaquan was very supportive of Xun Xiu in this matter, saying that this was to find a theoretical basis for the legitimacy of Gaoyuan's throne, and to explain from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors that Gaoyuan's bloodline was noble and different, and it was said that this was more convincing.
Gao Yuan from another world of course scoffed, in his heart, the army, the powerful force, far beyond the economy of other countries, this is the foundation of his own existence. As long as your fists are hard enough, you can stand firmly in this world.
The capital is in Jicheng, so naturally all the tombs of the ancestors will be moved, for this purpose the council hall will also allocate a large amount of money from the treasury to repair the mausoleum for the ancestors of the Gao family, and Wang Wuyan, who has always been slamming the door to the outrageous, this time he actually agreed happily, but at this time, Gao Yuan disagreed, and with a stroke of the pen, the size of the mausoleum designed by Xun Xiu himself was reduced by two-thirds at once, and this money was not from the treasury, but by Gao Yuan himself.
Your own money, of course, should be saved. It's not that Gao Yuan doesn't respect his ancestors, but he feels that there is no need for this at all. If there is a regret in Gao Yuan's heart, it is that he has not met his biological parents in this world.
Gao Yuan's actions made Xun Xiu greatly appreciated, and with a wave of the pen, he made a flowery article, announcing Gao Yuan's feat to the world, which is said to be very shocking to the world's readers, Gao Yuan has not done anything, the Holy King, the hat of the Ming Lord, has been smashed down with a split head and face.
The unintentional move actually achieved an unexpected effect, but it made Gao Yuan a little surprised, and he couldn't imagine that his resolute and non-extravagant and wasteful actions in order to save money had such a gratifying effect.
Although it has been so many years in this world, Gao Yuan still still does not really understand the unforgettable respect for the clan and ancestors in this era.
In fact, Gao Yuan thinks that there is no need for this.
Under the auspices of Xun Xiu, the remains were moved from the wind and reburied in the mausoleum, and Gao Yuan according to the old rules, naturally had to keep filial piety for three years, but as a king, he could make an exception, but he still had to keep filial piety for his parents for thirty days.
A grass house was built on Phoenix Mountain, and Gao Yuan and the three ladies took off their gorgeous clothes, changed into sackcloth, and lived here. Although it is a thatched hut, the furnishings inside are no worse than those in the palace.
Gao Yuan likes the scenery here, stealing half a day of leisure, in the past ten years, he has barely spent a fake deception completely, but just took advantage of this time to recuperate.
The mountains and trees cover the sky and the sun, and the scorching heat of summer has lost its power here, no matter when, there is a cool breeze blowing slowly from the forest, compared to the Jicheng Palace, but it is much more comfortable.
"When I have money in the future, I will build a few formal houses here, and I will come here for a vacation every year on a hot day." Looking at the three ladies, Gao Yuan smiled and said. Listening to the mountain breeze, smelling the kingfisher's singing, picking wild flowers on the hillside, fishing shrimp in the stream, what a pleasant life!"
"How can it be so easy!" He Lanyan immediately retorted mercilessly: "Brother Gao, don't forget, you are the king of the Han Dynasty, and I don't know how many things are waiting for you to decide every day, you just want to come, but I'm afraid that Old Man Jiang will also drag you back."
"Mr. Jiang!" Gao Yuan corrected. I have a way to deal with Mr. Jiang, I just say that I want to come here every year to keep filial piety for my parents, at least Mr. Xun is strongly supported, Mr. Jiang is also a person of filial piety, so naturally I won't say anything, besides, the council will be more perfect in the future, and my things will be less and less, as for stamping a stamp, where is not a cover!"
"Brother Gao, don't accidentally say it in front of Mr. Jiang and them. Coming here under the pretext of doing filial piety for your parents is not what a king should do!" Ye Jing'er whispered: "If you let those old gentlemen know, you will definitely be dissatisfied in your heart."
"Of course." Gao Yuan smiled, "It's not just our own family here, in this case, naturally we only talk about it at home."
"I still like the prairie." Helan Yan suddenly became a little sad, "It's good here, but it's not as good as the endless prairie, galloping horses, bending bows to shoot wolves, eagles catching rabbits, here, horses can't even trot!"
"When you want to go back to the grassland, go back when you want!" Gao Yuan said disapprerovingly, "What is this?"
"Brother Gao, are you serious, can I really go back whenever I want?" Helan Yan was immediately overjoyed, "A few days ago, my brother came to see me, and asked me to follow Sister Jing'er and Xin'er to learn the rules, what do you want to look like a princess, don't look like a wild girl before, say it solemnly, make me so angry."
Gao Yuan laughed: "No wonder in the past few days, I have seen that you have lost your previous appearance when you walk, tied your hands, tiptoed, and looked weird, it turned out that my eldest brother gave you a lesson, but I didn't expect that Yanzi, you still listened to your brother so much!"
"He is my eldest brother, my parents died early, I just followed him all the way, don't look at my usual messing with him, he really wants to be serious, I'm still very afraid of him." Helan Yandao.
"The eldest brother is like a father, how much more so in your situation?" Gao Yuan sighed: "Yanzi, you are not the golden bird in my cage, not only you, but also Jing'er and Xin'er, you can do whatever you like, if we struggle to this position today, we can't do something we like, then what's the point?" If you want to go back and see, then go back and see. Besides, now on the steppe, there are more and more of you Huns, and two days ago the Supervision Yuan came to report that some of the Xiongnu tribes who left the desert in the past have now migrated back a lot, and there have been a lot of conflicts with us in the Hetao area.
"It's a balance between public and private!" Ning Xin on the side sat and played with the strings, and laughed when she heard it. Back then, those Huns had a very bad time in the desert, and when they heard that the Hetao was now stable, they wanted to move back, but you also know that now the Hetao area and the prairie have formed some fixed patterns, and if you want to insert it again, it will inevitably touch the interests of some other people, and this friction is also indispensable, Sun Xiao of the Liaodong Protectorate has a headache, you go, you can let him relax."
"When am I leaving?" Helan Yan's big eyes were full of anticipation flickering.
"When we get down." Gao Yuandao.
"I'm afraid it will take half a year to come back at the earliest, Mingzhi is so young, I can't bear it!" Helan Yan pursed her mouth, motherhood still prevailed at this moment.
"You take Mingzhi with you." Gao Yuandao: "Mingzhi is the son of the king of the Han Dynasty, his identity is different, and together with you, wouldn't it be more weighty to speak, Yanzi, I let you go, but I didn't let you go to fight and kill, Hetao, the prairie, the three counties of Liaodong, these places, what I need now is calm, is to let the people there continue to create wealth for the Han Dynasty, instead of making a comeback, do you understand what I mean?"
"It's great to be able to bring Mingzhi with you!" Helan Yan jumped up suddenly, "Actually, I thought so, but I'm afraid that Sister Jing'er won't allow it."
"If you want to play privately, she naturally won't allow it, but it's business. How could she stop it!" Gao Yuan looked at Ye Jing'er with a smile.
Ye Jing'er snorted, "Brother Gao also wants to seal my mouth, even now, I don't want Mingzhi to go, how old is Mingzhi, even if it is a few months later, he is not yet a year old, such a long journey, a child can stand it?"
"There's no way around it." Gao Yuan shook his head and said: "The Huns value bloodline very much, and Mingzhi is the most suitable person, and it is a proof that can bring them security commitment and development guarantee, so I can only work hard for my little son!" (To be continued......) R1292
