Chapter 18 Goose Ancestral Hall
The eldest grandson Sheng, the word Ji Sheng, the nickname Goose King. He has been the chief of the Hu and Han tribes in northern Xinjiang for many years, and people close to him call him the goose father. When he was in northern Xinjiang, his fame, high status, strong means, and good popularity were rare in the entire history of China.
It is not surprising that the people of the Han and Hu tribes built an ancestral hall and a temple for him in the Dali city he built. Even many people are at home ** his immortal tablet.
Li Kuan was amused in his heart, it seemed that his character had spread to the Turkic side. It is estimated that these people have heard the words they specially released about "the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat". It should also be indispensable to scold Luo Yi and Liang Shidu, coupled with the close publicity of the wolf knight. The character specially created by Li Kuan has gradually plumped up and is accepted by more and more people.
Through word of mouth, the Great Demon King of God Killing is the reincarnation of a god with a very hard background. Although he kills people at every turn, he is very protective. As long as you are treated by him as his own, then he will not only not kill anyone, but will also protect you without principle. I haven't heard anyone say it, even when his father and Li Jiancheng fought to the death, he obviously knew that he didn't intervene. Because they're all their own people!
There is also news from Shuozhou that Li Kuan killed Liang Shidu, but asked Liang Luoren not to starve to death of a single person. Later, he also asked his wolf knight to save the Han slaves in Dingxiang City. All these things prove that he is unprincipled in favoritism towards his own people. As for the enemy, if you ask Jieli what mood he is in now, you will know how stupid it is to be an enemy with him.
Thinking about it this way, hiding in Li Kuan's grandfather's ancestral hall to entertain him, at least let him look at this little face, so that he won't kill people, right? Because of such a "reliance", a group of dignitaries and nobles who were originally nested in Dingxiang City came directly to Dali City. The city is a little broken, and there are more Hu people living there, but it's better than losing your life.
As soon as you enter the Goose Gong Ancestral Hall, there is an old locust tree in the yard, and there is a well next to the tree. In the center of the stone platform, there are three small characters engraved: "Goose Gongjing".
Yang Zhengdao's mood had not calmed down, and Wen Yanbo was a prisoner of war again, so Tang Jian took the initiative to explain to Li Kuan. He has often been a Turkic envoy over the years, and his life trajectory is very close to that of Changsun Sheng, and this predecessor is also his role model. He is also very familiar with this place, and every time he comes, he will definitely come to the pillar incense.
"Your Highness, this well was dug by the Grand Governor when he was looking for a location for the Great Profit City, and this tree is said to have been planted by the Grand Governor himself. The people of Dali City said that there was a goose well first, and then there was Dali City, and this is what they are talking about. Just a few years ago, the well had dried up and no longer produced water. Some people say that this is because the chief manager does not like the Han and Hu fights, so it warns the world ......"
Li Kuanfu leaned down at the wellhead, his consciousness was released, and he quickly figured it out. In these years, people's application of water conservancy is very simple, and even the simple maintenance method of Taojing has to check the imperial calendar first, and then look at feng shui, lest you accidentally provoke which way Mao Shen is unhappy to come out and make trouble. The well is very well located and is located on a certain water vein. It's just that the water level seems to have dropped a bit, and coupled with the fact that it has not been maintained for many years, the current situation of the well water has dried up.
At this moment, the plan in Li Kuan's heart has been fully formed. He is ready to take this opportunity to improve his character again. Since you think I'm going to give my grandfather face, let's use his grandfather's face to give you some shocking publicity.
Li Kuan got up and said with an indifferent face: "It's okay, I'll tell my grandfather when I go back, just let him let go of the water eye." ”
Tang Jian and the others looked at each other and told their grandfather? What do you mean? Can this highness really communicate with ghosts and gods?
Entering the main hall, a rather simple life-size clay sculpture stands on the altar, the eyebrow costume can not be seen at all, and the painting on the body is obviously newly painted recently, this era is at this level. No wonder the traditional Chinese gods and Buddhas are so ugly, it turns out that this is the case.
When the business is coming, incense my grandfather! In these years, worshipping the ancestors and Buddhas, anything related to heaven, earth, ghosts and gods is the most sacred etiquette in the world, and it is not allowed to be sloppy. Even if the death row inmate wants to offer incense to his ancestors before going to the killing field, others will not affect the interference. If you are not happy with a person, when he is alive, you can scold him in front of your children and grandchildren, it doesn't matter, people will say that you are true temperament. But if a person dies and you dare to scold in front of your children and grandchildren, it is a mortal enemy.
Tang Jian was the master of ceremonies, Li Kuan officiated, and Yang Zhengdao and Wen Yanbo accompanied the sacrifice. Li Kuan didn't deliberately make things weird, and it was a bit of a bit of a challenge to the rules at this time.
One by one, the offerings were passed from the hands of the attendants to the hands of Li Kuan at the front, and then the master of ceremonies Tang Jian put the offering table from his hands. Every time an offering is made, a great bow must be made respectfully. The whole process was extremely tedious, but no one dared to complain. In the traditional concept, all living people, when they see this scene, will subconsciously sigh: After he dies, he will be satisfied to have such a pomp!
After the eighteen offerings, the wine is served. Tang Jian was in charge of pouring the wine, and Li Kuan took it and prepared to sprinkle it under the table. Suddenly wrinkled his nose and sniffed a few times: "What kind of wine is this?" ”
Tang Jian said in a low voice: "Sanle pulp, the best wine, from the Western Regions." ”
Li Kuan shook his head: "Grandpa loves to drink our grain wine the most, and Hu Ren's wine is too boring!" ”
Tang Jian was a little in a daze, at this time, Sanle pulp is the strongest wine, this master is doing something at this time, what should I do? Where can I go to find a better wine?
Fortunately, Li Kuan didn't embarrass him, he took out a bottle of wine from his sleeve: "Use this!" The recipe made by my master and obtained from Du Kang......"
Tang Jian was almost scared to pee, so he took the crystal clear bottle like a doll, and didn't dare to open it after looking at it for a long time.
Li Kuan is a little impatient, and it's not a one-time seal, it's just an ordinary glass stopper, why are you embarrassed? He snatched it again, pulled off the stopper, and handed it to him. At the same time, he took out a small glass wine cup: "Don't be stunned, it's time to pour wine!" ”
Tang Jian hurriedly poured it, and as the clear liquor was poured out, a strong aroma of alcohol instantly filled the entire temple.
Li Kuan muttered in a low voice, and nine glasses of spirits were spilled in front of the offering table.
The last procedure is to put on the incense. It was still Tang Jian who was in charge of passing it, Li Kuan lit the incense, plugged in the incense burner, made a salute, and the others behind him stepped forward to offer incense in turn, and the whole process was over.
When Li Kuan ordered incense, he whispered something again, which almost made Tang Jian lose his mind on the spot. At this time, people put incense, and the practice is to order three sticks, and the so-called no three is not a ceremony.
But Li Kuan asked him more and asked for one, and made up four sticks of incense to make offerings. Tang Jian didn't dare to be sloppy, if something went wrong at this time, he would be laughed at by the whole world. It is not a mistake to change the wine, because it is customary to take the best to worship the ancestors, and not only will no one laugh at it, but it will be passed on as a good talk. It represents the highest civilization in the entire known world of mankind, and there must be no mistakes in this regard. If he couldn't explain it clearly, he wouldn't agree.
Li Kuan threw out the long-planned setting with a natural face: "Three gods and four ghosts, my grandfather is now the god of Yin, of course, you have to go to the four pillars of incense, the three pillars belong to the yang, and you can go straight to the nine heavens, and your grandfather can't stand it." ”
Yes? Three gods and four ghosts? And this kind of operation? Wait, what do you mean by the Yin Si Divine Position?! That's the eldest grandson, how can he be in the Yin Division, he should enter the heavenly court and become a god!
Although he didn't ask, Tang Jian didn't move, obviously expressing distrust and non-cooperation, and even the attendants standing behind him heard these words and looked at them together. If it weren't for the fact that they couldn't ask questions on this occasion, they would really have a seizure on the spot. This kind of thing, in the eyes of many, is more serious than killing the head!
Li Kuan turned around and looked at it, smacking his lips and said, "You guys? Don't you know? ”
Everyone roared in unison: What do we know? What are the three gods and four ghosts? What is the Yin Si God Position, you make it clear! Don't look at you as the grandson of the eldest grandson, if you don't explain this matter, no one can do it!
Li Kuan then explained: "My grandfather, now he is the director of the Yama Palace's Precept Department, didn't anyone tell you? Uncle Tang, hurry up and get incense, what are you doing in a daze? ”
This is special, Tang Jian was unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't refute it. The key is what Li Kuan said, he can't verify it! So what to do? Give a piece of incense, anyway, he is his own grandson, he said yes, then it should be treated!
Li Kuan inserted four pillars of incense and saluted. The subsequent Yang Zhengdao also took the four pillars, and then the old Wen Yanbo in the back can't be separated from the masses, this kind of ghost and god thing has taken root. You can't talk about it too much before, but once you make it, no matter how ridiculous it seems, it can only be right, not wrong. That's the rule, too!
The master of ceremonies, Tang Jian, finally offered incense, and he could only take four pillars, and he couldn't stop praying, hoping that what His Highness said was true. It would be best if the goose could hold a dream......
At the end of the sacrifice, Yang Zhengdao said that the banquet was set up in the backyard of the Goose Gong Temple. Li Kuan was puzzled, this ancestral hall doesn't look very large, and there is actually a place for a banquet in the back.
When I walked around the main hall and walked back, I found that the original backyard wall had been demolished, and several large tents were temporarily set up. This time it was Li Kuan's turn to be surprised, there was still this kind of operation? These people are also fighting hard to save their lives.
Imitating the tent arranged in the Han Palace, the nobles of the Han and Hu clans are also greeted at the door. Li Kuan didn't give a good face, said hello very casually, and walked in with an unhappy face. The little guy who was accompanying him felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and he was just about to bare his teeth, but he was reprimanded by Li Kuan: This is grandpa's place, don't make trouble!
No one dared to say that he was rude, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thanks to the face of the eldest grandson! Someone directly escaped from the tent, quietly ran to the front to offer incense to Changsun Sheng, and kowtowed. Thank you for not only taking care of everyone when you are alive, but also for protecting everyone's lives for many years after you die.
In the makeshift tent hall, the arrangement is magnificent, two rows of banquet tables are arranged with various melons and fruit dishes, and on the main seat at the head, two white-haired noblewomen sit side by side.
Yang Zhengdao introduced very calmly, the first is his grandmother Empress Dowager Xiao, and the other is his aunt Princess Yicheng.
