Chapter 268: The Sacrifice of the Dragon Boat Festival
Since the Heavenly King descended on the Heavenly Punishment, the earth has fallen silent. The countries and even the major gods were cautious, for fear of angering the Heavenly King again.
This old madman will not consider the problem from a rational point of view, and if he really him off, it is himself who is unlucky.
During this period, countries quietly developed their strength and secretly accumulated strength. Only the fate of the Heavenly King is a big fanfare, and the belief spirits of various primitive tribes or demigods are canonized.
In the original Divine Court, this move was enough to shake the foundation of the Protoss!
But now that the main gods are independent, the inner court is empty, and there is an urgent need to replenish new gods. Even the Sun God acquiesced in this move, and took the opportunity to canonize all the demigods of the Sun Temple as Celestial Gods.
What Heavenly Boat God, Spirit Spear God, Smelting God and so on. Conveniently, the sun god also supported a number of gods in the eastern countries who were in charge of the arts, such as music, poetry, and dance......
As for the Heavenly King, he didn't look down on these minor gods supported by the sun god. He is based on the law of fate and has evolved many branches. In one breath, the gods of aging, sickness, bad luck, revenge, natural disasters, good yields, good fortune, wealth, victory, marriage, etc.
Except for a few great gods such as the Sun God and the Heavenly King, who are still in charge of the priesthood on the natural side, all the gods of the new generation of the Divine Court are humane gods.
For mortals, compared to the mountains, rivers, wind and thunder and other natural phenomena, the humanistic priesthood that is closely related to life is more popular with them.
Pray to the god of war and victory for victory in war, to the god of love and marriage for sweet love, a perfect marriage...... These are things that the gods of nature cannot give.
Soon, the god of fate spread faith to the entire earth under the operation of the Heavenly King, the Heavenly Concubine and the Sun God. Even Rome and Xia selectively selected several gods of the fate god system to sacrifice.
For example, the sun god, the god who is in charge of the powers of rebirth, resurrection, light, art, forging, justice, judgment, etc., is the great god named by Ji Raku. Even if Ji Le and the Heavenly King turn against each other, they still respect the belief in the sun god.
Maybe it's because of the sun god. In the following months, the Heavenly King did not continue to take revenge on the Xia Kingdom, as if everything was calm again.
And after Ji Le's celebration banquet in the Earth Mother, because the King of Heaven gave up revenge, he completely entered the state of salted fish.
Every day, in addition to practicing swords and reading, it is to take a turn in the Spirit Palace. As for the major affairs of the state, they were all handled by Yang Ke's royal court. It wasn't until the time entered the summer that Ji Le finally found something to do for himself.
"I decided, go back and take my son to the Spirit Palace to raise. ”
Huo Quzhi sat next to him, and he didn't react when he heard this, silently staring at the tea stalk in the teapot. In the past few months, Ji Le has been too idle, and he has come out suddenly from time to time, and he has become accustomed to it.
"Hey...... What's your son? That's my son. Yang Ke came to chat with Ji Le, and when he heard Ji Le's sudden words, he immediately jumped up: "Don't beat my son's idea!"
"Your son?" Ji Le shook the folding fan and said with a smile: "That's my son." I am the Xia Kingdom, and all the people of the country are heirs. Don't talk about your son, you are all mine in a sense. Your wife ......."
Well, in a sense, Yang Ke's wife belongs to Ji Le and is a cell in his body.
"Two cells in my body combine to create a new cell. This new cell is naturally mine, too. After Ji Le sorted out the logical relationship, he smiled and said, "Let's talk about it." Last year, I tried desperately to save that child, and I should have raised it. ”
"Yu Yuan, listen up, turn around and take the child to the Spirit Palace to raise. Anyway, I'm idle right now, I'll take care of it. ”
Ji Le is extremely bored, and can only pass the time with children at present.
"No, I don't agree!"
"It's useless not to agree, so it's decided. I'll discuss it with Nangong when I go back. ”
During this time, although the relationship between Nangong and Yang Ke recovered, as the labor period approached, Nangong felt uneasy, just like the prenatal depression he had heard in his previous life.
So, Ji Le deliberately summoned a female doctor to take care of the Nangong clan through the fire.
"In this way, go back and let Mr. Yi Fei bring Nangong to the Spirit Palace to give birth? There are many witches here, Bi Yao, you go back and talk to Mr. Yi Fei. ”
Yi Fei, a female doctor during the period of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty. When Huo Qubing was in the court, he had several encounters.
In order to take care of the Nangong clan and the child in her womb, plus supplement the pediatrics of the Ming Palace, Ji Le deliberately invited this female gentleman.
I have to say that after the Hades incident, Ji Le has become more proficient in controlling the fire, and he has been able to locate the spirit more accurately.
"Also, my son's name should be thought about. Yiguang, go back and ask Lord Shi Huang to ask the old man what he means. ”
"Yes. ”
Seeing that Ji Le had no other people's arrangements for his son, Yang Ke had a dark face: "Nangong wants to give birth outside the palace, and you can take care of it when you receive it from the Spirit Palace, I can bear this." But my son's name had to be given by me. ”
Speaking of which, the relationship between Nangong and Ji Le has been getting better and better during this time.
"Come on, which child's name will be named by the father?" Ji Le sneered: "You also want your son's right to choose the name?"
Even if Ji Le doesn't stir things up, Sima Jingwen won't sit idly by. This emperor has been looking forward to Yang Kechang's eldest son for a long time.
In particular, this child is sure that he will not die early, and it can already be regarded as the foundation of the inheritance of the Xia Kingdom. Yang Ke wants to choose his own name? impossible.
In modern times, those who want to name their sons are also their fathers.
In front of those grandparents, how can a father have the qualifications to speak and choose a name? It's just enough to come up with a nice name, if you really take a few strange names, such as anime characters or names with bad homophony and very bad meanings, and you won't be beaten by your own father and mother plus a combination of wife and mother-in-law?
Regarding Yang Ke's ability to name him, starting with Sima Jingwen, everyone had no hope and did not give Yang Ke a chance to name at all.
Huo Quzhi also smiled: "If the right to choose a name lies with the parents, Nangong must also trust Ji Le more, isn't it? ”
Nangong has been in the melancholy period these days, suspicious, and the only person he can trust is Ji Le, who is the incarnation of Xia Guo. Ji Le opened his mouth, and Nangong would definitely not object.
"Cut-" Yang Ke sat down stupidly.
After Yiguang invited Emperor Shi over, Ji Le mentioned the name of Yang Keyan's eldest son.
Emperor Shi said with a smile: "There is no need for His Highness to specifically mention it. Yesterday, Sima Jingwen, together with a group of old ministers in the royal court, and even two old ladies came to the school palace in person and asked the old man to help choose the name. ”
This is a word-making saint, and if he chooses the name, he will give the child's name divine power and protect the child's healthy growth. Of course, Ji Le is also a good choice. But after Sima Jingwen thought about it, he didn't have hope for Ji Le's ability to choose a name.
Although Ji Le is very famous, he shows the posture of a young man. In the eyes of these old people, the young man "has no hair on his mouth and can't do things well". Ji Le's cultural literacy may not be much higher than Yang Ke's.
As for Yuan Xi or Huo Qu's disease, they were even excluded early. Come on, let Huo Qubing take a name, it's better to let him teach his children to practice martial arts.
"I'll just say, how could those people let Yang Ke choose your name. Look, the candidates are all found. In that matter, there is Old Man Lao. ”
After scolding Yang Ke every day, Ji Le calculated the time and said to Shi Huang: "Does the old man know, what do I want to do at the moment?"
"It's July ...... now," Shi Huang said with a smile: "Dragon Boat Festival?"
Ji Le set the month of the first month as the first month, which means that there is a difference from the modern lunar festival on the earth. Counting from the beginning of the sub-month to the noon moon where the Dragon Boat Festival is located, there are seven months.
Huo Qubing calculated the calendar, scratched his head and said: "So, you originally set Meng Chunyin as the first month of the year, how can you be so troublesome!"
According to the Western Han Dynasty, Mengchun is defined, that is, the first month of spring is the first month. It was this regulation of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that established the summer calendar system for more than 2,000 years. Therefore, the Dragon Boat Festival is the fifth day of the fifth month of May.
But Xia Guo put the first month on the winter solstice, and the month has now been delayed to June and July.
"Anyway, it's already decided, so it's going to come. Ji Leman didn't care, and pulled Emperor Shi to discuss the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival: "I'm very idle now, let's discuss and discuss, how to hold the celebration when we go back." ”
Emperor Shi muttered: "Your Highness wants to hold the Dragon Boat Festival, isn't it planning to race a dragon boat to drive away the five poisons?"
"The Luoshui at the gate of Jiugong City is not wide, and it seems that it is not suitable to play dragon boats, and there are not many boats in my country. As for the five poisons, that's okay. It is also good to go back and prepare realgar wormwood, which kills and kills viruses. ”
Besides, what else can you play?
"Of course it's zongzi!" Ji Le suddenly clapped his hand: "In a few days, a zongzi making competition will be held during the Dragon Boat Festival!" I took out ten gold as a reward, and the most satisfactory zongzi was rewarded with ten gold, and a horse of silk and two pots of fine wine. ”
"Zongzi?" Yang Ke also became interested: "Then count me as a share, and I will also add ten gold as a reward." By the way, help my son pray for blessings. ”
Ji Le nodded: "Then ask the old man to help specify the rules." Not...... I like sweet dumplings, so the main body of this competition is sweet dumplings. Wrap salty dumplings and spicy dumplings and the like, and go straight out!"
