At the end of the year, it is rare that there is still moonlight on this cold night, and every household in Wancheng also dug a fire pit in the courtyard, and on this day, Wancheng Chinese New Year's Eve, the lights are bright.

However, there was no rumored evil thing, and the next morning the dawn rose, and the Martial Kingdom ushered in the twenty-third year of its Martial Emperor.

On Gongziyan's mansion, it has been quite lively these days, and there are nearly 200 people in the mansion with a total of nearly 200 people.

The original Gongziyan Mansion seems to be a little small, but because of the money earned by Kong Xuanwancheng's bookstore, Gongziyan's Mansion has surplus capital to acquire the two large courtyards around it.

Han Kui had already written a long letter and told Lin Yuyan about some things about Shanglin Yuan, with some dry goods of Shanglin Yuan's specialties.

The Tang River and the Shuishui River have been barrage and bridged, and the foundations are made of cement and copper and iron, and there is no doubt that the Tang River and the Shuishui, two rivers that are not major waterways, have no problem according to the current manpower and material resources of Shanglinyuan.

In addition, he briefly talked about Mengxue, but he felt that children under the age of twelve could not do much, and it was better to teach them to read and write, because after all, all kinds of government officials would be needed in the future.

In addition, there is the news about the foundry, since the Foundry Bureau added a number of important craftsmen to the foundry, the construction has basically achieved considerable development.

That Ma Jun is very amazing, good at ingenuity, the [Divine Arm Crossbow] designed by Lin Yuyan, after a little understanding, he cooperated with Lu Feng to research out a practical and feasible Divine Arm Crossbow that can shoot more than 400 steps, although there is Lin Yuyan's idea, but what is actually created is another matter.

The combination of "insulated river mud", "fire gathering structure" and "bellows" directly allowed the foundry to master the casting skills of [12 forgings], and Ma Jun has begun to make better use of several technologies mastered by the foundry to impact the casting skills of [15 forgings].

As for the other good news, it made Lin Yuyan ecstatic, Lin Yuyan vaguely remembered that there were rich oil fields buried in the ground of Nanyang County, so Lin Yuyan also explained some characteristics of oil to Han Kui.

Who knows that it will not be able to work hard, that is, in the grain canyon of Zhongyang Mountain, on a tributary upstream of the water, there is a special product of "water has fertilizer, such as gravy, in the extractor, first yellow and then black, such as condensation", as for the flammability, there is no experiment, but it can be regarded as having the eyebrows of oil.

However, due to the fifteenth day of the political month, the royal family has a sacrificial activity of the clan, and the adult princes need to come forward, otherwise Lin Yuyan has already left Wancheng and gone to Shanglin Yuan.

Wancheng Bookstore is not favored by many people because of its cheap sale of books, and even the people who originally booked the books regret it, for fear that Wancheng Bookstore will go out of business because of loss-making transactions, and the food they paid as a deposit will not go back?

On the third day of the first lunar month, Wancheng Bookstore opened for business, and everyone was shocked to find that Wancheng Bookstore had acquired the shops on both sides, and the inventory in it was far more than a year ago.

As the largest patron of Wancheng Bookstore, the permanent attendant in the palace is very satisfied with the goods sent by Kong Xuan last time, and the demand for paper books is indeed a lot larger.

Although the brush is durable, but the paper is not able to stand up to consumption, the palace originally set 300,000 pieces of paper, left for the palace to use for its own use, distributed to the various departments, so that it was found that there is not much left, you know, paper is not like silk books and bamboo slips can be recycled.

Therefore, the permanent attendant once again placed a large order to Kong Xuan, you must know that the palace's annual consumption of silk books and bamboo slips will reach more than 10,000 stones, if it is used to buy paper, it is undoubtedly cheaper and much more affordable, so Emperor Wu, who has always been thrifty, quickly put into the ranks of using paper.

However, the popularity of Wancheng bookstore did not bring any obvious changes to Wuguo, the roads in Wancheng are still so potholes, in the territory of Wuguo outside Wancheng, there are people who freeze to death and starve to death every day because of lack of food and clothing, but because of the deliberate blockade of the small Chang'anju and Nanzheng Ju checkpoints around Wancheng, Wancheng is still the situation of national peace and security.

The central secretary of the court has to wait until the 16th of the political month to open the government, but the court's agricultural persuasion order has been issued early, there is no shortage of prophets, there will be a big operation in the martial arts this year, to find the root of the problem, the northern problem has not been an emergency for a long time, the only thing that attracts the storm is the southern border, Deng Guo!

On the fifteenth day of the first month, the temple of the Zongfu, where the three generations of the ancestors of the Wu Kingdom are enshrined, Rao is this day, Emperor Wu also walked out of the palace gate, under the protection of Yu Linwei, entered the Zongfu, and carried out the ritual of sacrificing the ancestors.

Covered by winter snow, in the temple, the fire is lit with candles, and the clan witches of the sect are humming obscure syllables.

Emperor Wu also knelt on the ground, reciting "Wu Song" to the ancestors, nothing more than summarizing last year's gains and losses, mostly praise, hoping that the ancestors could bless the martial arts country in the coming year, and the country and the people would be safe.

Then there were the clansmen of the Lin royal family, the eldest son Lin Yuren, Gongzi Xin, and Lin Yuyan knelt at the front, this kneeling was to kneel for a long time, which was also the first time that Lin Yuyan felt so obviously that it was not easy for the prince to leave the cabinet.

Zong Zheng Lin Sishen knelt on the left and right of Emperor Wu, his qualifications were indeed unaffordable for Emperor Wu to come to the ancestor of the sacrifice of the warden, and the official of the ancestor sacrifice this time was the ancestor of the previous generation of Zongfu Zongcheng, the elder of the fixed generation.

After Emperor Wu finished reciting the Wu Song, he was taken over the silk book and thrown into the furnace, hoping to pass it on to the ancestors to read.

Then it should be Zongzheng reciting a "Wu Song" again, but it was a sudden change.

The official sect of the canon always bypassed the Zongzheng Lin Sishen and preached: "Spread the ode of Lu Yangjun!" ”

Hearing this, Emperor Wu's face changed greatly, and then he looked at Lin Sishen next to him, but seeing that the latter also had a shocked and frightened expression, Emperor Wu knew that this guy seemed to be deceived too!

Emperor Wu raised his head and looked at the old man of the warden, who had a frank face, and was not afraid of the killing intent in Emperor Wu's eyes.

Lin Yuyan originally just planned to make no effort, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, but he also noticed that there was something wrong, and then looked at his second emperor brother Gongzi Xin and his eldest son Lin Yuren's explanation of the big change.

"Lu Yangjun, who is this?" Lin Yuyan lowered his voice and asked the second emperor brother.

"The eldest son of the Emperor's grandfather...... It's also a sister-in-law. Gongzixin replied like this, but added: "He was sent to the Jin State as a hostage, and he stayed in the Jin State, and later after his father ascended the throne, he was named Lu Yangjun!" ”

Regarding the whispering sound that sounded in the Taimiao, the warden and the elder also shouted forbidden: "The holy land of the Taimiao, no noise!" ”

Lin Yuyan was stunned, the eldest son of the grandfather of the first emperor is still in the Jin Kingdom, and his father who is not the eldest emperor has sat on the throne of the Wu Kingdom, doesn't it mean that his father has robbed him of his original things? !

Lu Yangjun ......

However, Lin Yuyan raised his head, his father had been in charge of the throne of Wuguo for more than 20 years, and this Lu Yang Jun dared to slap his father in the face at the sacrifice of the ancestors, even if he came to the scene at this time, his father would not let him go easily.

Sure enough, Lu Yangjun came forward with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.

I saw him come to Emperor Wu's side and said, "Uncle! ”

Emperor Wu's face was pale, but it was not easy to attack, so he didn't answer at the moment, but hid his clenched fist under his robe.

The official Zong Lao also said slowly: "Gongzi Fu, recite Wu Song." ”

"Whoa." This Gongzi Fu, who is only fourteen or fifteen years old, is not afraid at all This is the Taimiao where the patriarchy is strict, and the people kneeling on the ground are all the magnates of the Wu Kingdom, and they directly took out the Wu Song that had been prepared for a long time, and began to recite towards the tablet of the ancestors.

Zongzheng Lin Sishen's face was pale, and he took a position equal to that of Emperor Wu, wouldn't this be humiliating Emperor Wu?

Lin Sishen, who reacted, also interrupted the heir of the Luyang gentleman who was reciting Wu Song, and said to the warden Sect Elder: "Sect Elder, I'm afraid this is not in line with the ancestral system!" ”

"Ancestry?" The old man replied expressionlessly: "Lu Yangjun, as the eldest son of the first monarch, should be so. ”

The implication is that Emperor Wu is not a long-term or a descendant, and it is not in line with the ancestral system!

Lin Sishen just wanted to refute, but was stopped by Emperor Wu reaching out and signaling, Emperor Wu slowly stood up, looked at the warden Zong Lao and said: "Uncle Zong is old, this ancestor sacrifice affairs are heavy, I'm afraid Uncle Zong will be difficult to bear, Sishen, you should be the warden of this ancestor sacrifice!" ”

Hearing this, the old man said angrily: "Lin Yan, you, an unscrupulous descendant who has forgotten your ancestors, are plotting to seize the position of the monarch and forcibly restructuring the system, so that the martial kingdom is angry and resentful, and the ancestors are scolding you underground!" ”

Lin Yan is the name of Emperor Wu!

Lin Sishen was shocked, and just wanted to ask Zong Cheng Lin Kui to stop the warden Zong Lao, but he found that the general Zhao Jing had already detained the warden Zong Lao first, and he didn't know what means were used, and the Warden Zong Lao had already fallen.

Emperor Wu said in a cold tone: "Take it down, and settle ...... good students."

Zhao Jing asked people to take this sect elder down, and then looked at the childish son who was kneeling on the ground holding Wu Song, Gongzi Fu.

Gongzi Fu also kowtowed at this time: "Uncle, my father has been hostage in the Jin Kingdom for nearly 30 years, and he has never returned to the country. ”

Emperor Wu looked at Gongzi Fu coldly.

Is this to kill your son?

In exchange for the stigma of an heir, you are really ......

Looking at the people kneeling in the temple, Emperor Wu also gradually felt a cold feeling, these are all people close to the Lin family, but I don't know how many people are credible, and how many people are available......

On the fifteenth day of the political month, Emperor Wu left first due to physical discomfort in the sacrifice of the first monarch, and the sacrifice of the first monarch was also suspended.

Lin Yuyan and other princes also returned to Gongziyan's mansion early.

Lu Yangjun, Gongzi Fu......

When Lin Yuyan left the Taimiao, he saw the gloomy eyes of his father, and it was the first time that he felt such anger from his father, but this Lu Yangjun used such means to achieve the consequences of humiliating his father, and he was really ruthless.

It's almost taking revenge on the life of his own son.

Of course, Emperor Wu did not bear the stigma of "even killing the eldest brother's child", Gongzi Fu was ordered by Emperor Wu to kneel in the temple for three days and three nights, and no one could disturb him.

Such a cold night, three days and three nights, even if this prince has a secret hand in the sect's mansion, this day is not easy.

On the sixteenth day of the political month, Emperor Wu postponed the banquet of the ministers of the Xuanzheng Palace on the grounds of ill health.

On the seventeenth day of the political month, it snowed heavily and the temperature was extremely cold, and the old man who sacrificed to the emperor that day was found frozen to death at home, but because no one cared, the impact of this incident was very little.
