It is the first day of the lunar month, and there are not a few days left before the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens. For the sake of this ceremony, the court has been busy since April this year. Not only the preparation of various affairs, but also the ceremonies and ceremonies should be well scheduled. The last, the most critical object to be sacrificed, has not yet been decided.

The Ze of the gentleman, the fifth generation and beheaded - this is said to be the princes, doctors, in addition to the ancestors, only need to go back to four generations of ancestors to sacrifice.

The temple of the seventh generation, close to the end - this is the ritual system of the heavenly family. In addition to the first ancestor, each Son of Heaven only went back six generations from him to worship, and the earlier ancestors moved from the temple to the temple.

Now the court is arguing endlessly over whether Emperor Zhao Hao should destroy the temple.

Zhao Ji is actually quite annoyed by these red tapes. But this is a ceremony of the imperial court, if you make a mistake, it is not only a matter of disrespecting the ancestors, but when it spreads, the people will talk about it, and foreign countries such as Liaoxia will also laugh at it. The stakes are very high, and it can only make Zhao Ji continue to be bored.

Should Xi Zu move the god to the temple?

Now there are different opinions, and the key to the debate is whether the ancestor Zhao Hao is the ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty.

The inheritance of the Great Song Dynasty, according to today's common saying, the first generation was the Holy Ancestor Zhao Xuanlang, and then I don't know how many generations it passed on, and it arrived at Zhao Hao. Xi Zu was born to Shunzu Huiyuan Emperor Zhao Ting, Shunzu was born to Emperor Jian Gong Zhao Jing, Wing Ancestor was born to Emperor Xuanzu Wuzhao Zhao Hongyin, and the most descendant Xuanzu was born to Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

The so-called Holy Ancestor Zhao Xuanlang was created by Emperor Zhenzong, just to press Li Tang's ancestor Li Er [Lao Tzu]. The earliest generation of posthumously crowned emperors was the ancestor of Xi who was set by Taizu at the time of the founding of the country, and he was the great-grandfather of Zhao Kuangyin.

It's just that now, counting from Xizu down, Zhao Ji is already the ninth generation, and there are eight generations of ancestors on it. Generations are lined up, and when worshipping ancestors, so many gods and goddesses are not easy to place in the temple. According to the ritual system, it is now necessary to move the ancestors out of the temple, leaving the seven temples - that is, the ancestors, who should be moved from the temple and moved to the temple to wait.

According to Zhao Ji's thoughts, as long as the Taichang Rite Court gives a reasonable reply, and the two governments and the two systems discuss it again, it is almost enough. However, some people were entangled, saying that Xizu was the ancestor of the Great Song Dynasty and could not move the temple, and it was Emperor Shunzu who should go. Around this matter, the scope of discussion expanded to include the waiter, the Taiwan admonition, and the ceremonial official.

For this matter, the court and the court quarreled intermittently for half a year.

The side that is in favor of Xizu's relocation of the temple took the example of the Han Dynasty and said that although the father of Han Gaozu was the emperor, he did not take him as the ancestor. The opposing side goes back to an earlier time, during the Shang and Zhou dynasties, not with Tang and King Wen as the ancestors, but with the two people of Qi and Ji at the beginning of the feudal kingdom as the ancestors.

For this reason, the important ministers of the DPRK and the central government threw aside the distinction between the old and new parties, divided them into two factions, and wrote a book to argue. In the end, Wang Anshi made a conclusion that those who have no merit cannot be the ancestors, and the ancestors of this dynasty are the ancestors. Xizu should move to the temple.

Anyway, it's a big deal for the heavenly family. Now that Zhao Ji has the results, he has to report to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother.

Zhao Ji first went to the Baoci Palace where the Empress Dowager Gao lived, and unsurprisingly saw that the second brother Zhao Hao was also there. Without saying anything, after greeting the queen mother and brother, the three of them went to Cishou Palace together.

The weather has been good these days, although it is colder, but the sky is clear and blue, and there is not a trace of clouds in sight. The sun fell on the court, and the sun warmed people.

Emperor Cao was half-lying on a soft couch, and the sun shone in through the window. It is nearly sixty years, the Empress Dowager is getting older and older, she has been serving Renzong since she was sixteen years old, and has spent decades in the palace, and now she is very unfamiliar with the outside world, but what she cares about is the country left by Emperor Renzong.

It's just that right now, there are many, many things that worry her.

Seeing Zhao Hao enter the palace again, a trace of imperceptible displeasure flashed in Emperor Cao's eyes. There is any prince who can enter the palace every day, the fourth brother has always stayed in the palace honestly, it is this second brother, who goes to Baoci Palace every day to report.

The unhappiness in his heart was well concealed, and Emperor Cao listened to Zhao Ji slowly discuss the new system of ancestral worship of the courtiers and the conclusion of how to deal with the Xizu Temple, and he took the trouble to talk to her.

After listening, Emperor Cao didn't say yes or bad, but stood up tremblingly. When Zhao Ji saw it, he hurriedly stepped forward to help her. Walking to the window and looking at the weather outside, the Empress Dowager turned back to Zhao Ji and said: "The sky is clear, if it is a big gift day, it is a big celebration." ”

Zhao Ji nodded, feeling the same way: "Niangniang is right." ”

"When the old man used to serve Renzong, when he heard about the suffering of the people, he would definitely complain to Renzong, and every time the virtue fell because of this, and this time it should be the same."

Zhao Ji's expression became a little colder: "There is nothing else to do today." ”

Emperor Cao turned around, and with Zhao Ji's support, he returned to his seat. Looking up at the emperor standing in front of him, "The old man heard that the people are very hard to change money and exempt money, and the official family still took advantage of the amnesty after this ritual to get rid of everything." ”

Unsurprisingly, the topic turned to the new law, and Zhao Ji's mood suddenly became bad again. With patience, he said to his grandmother: "These laws are beneficial to the people, but the poor will suffer." ”

Emperor Cao sighed, this grandson is a stubborn character to the end, for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, he can ignore anything. But he didn't want to think that it was indeed a good thing for the treasury to be full, but the stability of the country was not only in the treasury. Even if the treasury is built one after another, if there is a reaction from top to bottom, how can he sit in this position.

Although her wife is sitting in the palace, her eyes can still see things. There is already an undercurrent below, which has made her have to mention it: "Wang Anshi is talented and learned, and he has worked hard for many years, but there are many people who complain. If the official family wants to cherish and preserve, it is better to go out temporarily and recall it after a year or two. ”

Emperor Cao's cliché, Zhao Ji became more and more impatient, "Among the ministers, only An Shi can be a national matter." The new law is not possible, and Xihe is not okay. Now that the state is flourishing, it is the work of Anshi! ”

Zhao Hao saw that the atmosphere between his brother and grandmother had become stiff, so he stepped forward and said to Zhao Hao: "The words of the Empress Dowager are also true, and Your Majesty must not think about it. ”

"Am I corrupting the world?!" Zhao Ji saw his younger brother selling the Empress Dowager in front of him, his heart was on fire, his tone suddenly became murderous, and his eyes became dangerous, "Wait for you to do it yourself!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Gao's face changed completely, how could she say this casually. "Big brother!" She screamed with urgency and rage.

Emperor Cao glanced at Zhao Hao first, sighed again, and said to Zhao Hao: "Official, this should not be said. ”

……………………

"What happened after the end?"

Han Gang learned from Wang Shao about the incident that happened in the Cishou Palace yesterday, and when he heard that Zhao Ji, the son of heaven, actually said the sentence 'you do it yourself', he immediately asked about the following.

"What's going on?" Wang Shao asked rhetorically.

"Of course it's to ask King Yong......" Han Gang's eyes widened, "The Son of Heaven said, 'You do it yourself'!" ”

"King Yong said, 'What is it', and then cried."

Han Gang was stunned for a while, "This is no follow-up?" ”

"What's more?!"

Han Gang smacked his lips and shook his head: "...... King Yan Yi is really wronged. ”

Wang Shao coughed: "Yukun ......"

Wang Shao gave a warning, and Han Gang stopped talking.

However, Zhao Ji said this sentence, a hundred years ago, another person said - Taizong Zhao Guangyi. The time is after the defeat of the Gaoliang River in the attack on Youyan without success, the location is in the palace city of Tokyo, and the character is Zhao Dezhao, the second son of Emperor Taizu.

As early as when the Gaoliang River was defeated, there was no trace of Zhao Guangyi in the army, and some people were ready to support Zhao Dezhao at that time. When Zhao Guangyi returned to the capital safely, he never rewarded the soldiers who conquered Taiyuan and destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhao Dezhao went to persuade him, and Zhao Guangyi replied, "Wait for you to do it yourself, it's not too late to reward it." ’。 After hearing this, Zhao Dezhao committed suicide with a knife after he went back. Then Zhao Guangyi, who was relieved, cried a lot, and posthumously crowned him as the king of Yanyi.

Who knows that the same sentence is the same sentence of King Yong's 'what is it' - why bother talking about it to such a point, there is nothing to do if you cry for the last time.

'Thou shalt do it for thyself', the Son of Heaven can say such words, which shows that his heart has reached the extreme of suspicion. King Yong was bold, crying as if nothing had happened.

Han Gang is really a pity. This second king is really not brittle, if you follow King Yan Yi to cut yourself with a knife, it will be interesting.

Wang Shao could also guess what Han Gang was thinking, and sighed, "If King Yong is really like King Yanyi, I am afraid it will hurt the benevolence of the Son of Heaven." ”

Han Gang sneered: "Tang Taizong is a benevolent monarch......"

There are only thirteen death row prisoners a year, and the rule of Zhenguan who fights rice and three coins, Tang Taizong is of course Renjun. Zhao Ji has always wanted to learn from Tang Taizong, if he can learn three or five points, Han Gang will have fun watching it. Even if you can't learn Li Shimin, you can learn from Emperor Taizong of the current dynasty......

"Yukun, you......" Wang Shao shook his head helplessly, this is really afraid that the world will not be chaotic. However, Han Gang can speak freely in front of him, which can also show his trust in himself. Wang Shao was happy to see this.

Han Gang didn't say anything about this anymore, anyway, he didn't commit any taboos, and he could say it in front of the Son of Heaven.

Although Han Gang could be sure from the little historical knowledge in his memory that Zhao Hao would not ascend to the throne one day, maybe history would change that day. If he saw the two kings sitting on the royal couch when he went to court, Han Gang would probably be ready to go into exile.

'Forget it! ’

Zhao Hao can blurt out these words, which shows that he has been deeply wary of Zhao Hao. How much brotherhood there is, basically anyone can see it. As long as Zhao Ji can live a little longer, his son will be born and raised earlier. Zhao Hao did not have the opportunity to be the supreme of the Ninth Five-Year Plan.

Only Han Gang doesn't need to worry about the sky here, or fear that the world will not be chaotic, and reading is serious.
