Chapter 381: The Gods Sacrifice Prisoners
Shendu, Luoyang.
On this day, the hundred officials of the imperial court shrouded in the cloud of war finally showed a smile on their faces, the Tubo was defeated, the Turks were completely destroyed, and now only the Khitan is left to rebel. With the King of Wei here, is the Khitan still far from extinction?
Even some former ministers of the Tang dynasty who had a lot of complaints about King Wei had to admit that Wu Zheng's exploits were somewhat beyond that of many famous generals of the previous generation. And being able to destroy the 300,000 post-Turks with armor in one fell swoop without a sound made them tremble even more.
It is undeniable that since the news of the demise of the Later Turks reached Shendu, the men of Shendu began to worship this god-like figure. And the women of Shendu are willing to have such an affair with Wu Zheng. Even, a glamorous female crown threatened that she would give birth to King Wei.
With the spread of the news of the sacrifice of prisoners, science students promoted the concept of governing the country of science, hoping that more people of insight would join the team to promote science. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhou Assassin Shi Di Renjie published an article in the newspaper criticizing the suspicion of science students forming a party, and classified science students as science parties.
Suddenly, as if alive, the corrupt Confucians in the world began to carry out all kinds of attacks with the "Science Party" as the target of attack. There were radical Confucian scribes who stormed the school of science and smashed a lot of things. The Empress's dragon case is also full of notes about attacking the Rigaku Party.
Since ancient times, the dispute between friends and the formation of a party for personal gain is the most taboo for the emperor, but this is nothing for the empress, she is taboo is that the Wu family is not strong enough, and the taboo is rebellion, so although the case is a mountain, she is still calm.
Since the change to the name of the Divine Skill Era, these few months. She wakes up laughing every day in her dreams, and she seems to have youth again, and the joy of bed becomes more and more frequent. But now I want to sleep during the day. After watching the music for a while, he dozed off. Fortunately, there is Shangguan Wan'er, otherwise, I really don't know how much to pile up.
Even so, she still had to make up her mind about some major matters, and Shangguan Wan'er's efficiency slowed down, which made Shangguan Wan'er have to take the song back to the dormitory for approval. Because she didn't want to listen to that shameful voice, and she had to review the recital as if nothing happened.
She is over 30 years old and full of energy. The desire was also extremely strong, but she had been suppressing it, and she was afraid that she had made a mistake. Now that she hooks her hand casually, the young men of the Great Zhou who want to serve her are estimated to be able to go around the capital of the gods.
This day is the day of the sacrifice of prisoners. The Empress got up early to freshen up. It's been more than half an hour now, and I'm still putting on makeup.
The sacrifice of prisoners at Duanmen is a big day, it is very grand, and the sacrifice of prisoners is just a process, but the atmosphere expressed is different. The empress was able to remove the thorn of the Later Turks in her lifetime, which was enough to comfort her life. After the sacrifice of the prisoners, it is to sacrifice the Taimiao, and now the location of the Taimiao is the Wu's Taimiao. Li Tang Gaozu, Taizong, and Gaozong were deserved, and the five temples of the Li family were neutralized in the Chang'an Palace. After all, the Great Zhou world came from Li Tang, and it came from her husband.
An hour later, the palace maid finally inserted the last beaded flower, and the empress stood up quite satisfied, wearing a dark red gown, wide clothes and belts, making the empress look more majestic.
Shangguan Wan'er now understood the empress's thoughts, so she bowed and said: "The saint is radiant today, as if he is in his thirties. β
The empress smiled slightly and said, "You, you like to pick what I like." What time is it? β
"Back to the saint, it's almost noon." The palace maid bowed and said.
The empress nodded and said slowly, "Wan'er will accompany me to watch the ceremony today. β
Shangguan Wan'er agreed. A moment later, accompanied by the emperor's guard of honor, the empress sat on the imperial chariot and walked out of the inner palace, met with hundreds of officials in front of the court, and ascended to the Duanmen Tower.
In front of the end gate, the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty Song De Tianshu stand tall, as if the Dinghai Divine Needle of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the people of Luoyang have already stood around, the broad Duanmen Square, the voices of the people are boiling.
When the Empress ascended to the gate, she shouted, "The saint has arrived!" β
The people outside the gate knelt down, the mountain shouted long live, the sound was higher and higher, and the lively atmosphere completely swept away the haze brought by drought, flood, and military disaster.
The Empress raised her hands and slowly fell, she took a deep breath of air, closed her eyes, and felt the legacy and independence of the imperial achievement, her heart was full of excitement. She, Wu Cao, established Wu Zhou, she founded the country as a woman, into an unprecedented thing, her name will always be engraved on this land, in the long river of history will never sink, history will remember her, she is a generation of empress!
With the celebrant eunuch, one after another, the prisoner sacrifice ceremony began. Immediately, as a group of ragged Turkic soldiers were slowly escorted through the Duanmen, the people of Shendu let out a frenzied shout, among which were radical science students, shouting the name of the king of Wei.
In science, science students can call Wu Chuan by his name, especially when giving a speech, he must call his life. This is also what Wu Zong demanded.
Tens of thousands of captives slowly passed by, and finally there were herds of cattle, sheep and horses, which would be temporarily disposed of by Sifu Temple and Sinong Temple. Of course, the captives were only a part, and the cattle, sheep and horses were less than 10%. But the ceremony of sacrificing prisoners on such a scale is unprecedented. The empress's heart swelled to the extreme, and at this moment, she no longer took the Khitan seriously.
It is also at this moment that she, her empire, will be an empire like never before.
Many important ministers among the hundred officials also shook their heads, preparing to write a poem in the next banquet to please the empress. The science officials clenched their fists and stared at the captives, who at this moment could not express their state of mind in poetry. Lou Shide nodded his head, and from time to time explained to his ministers the highlights of the First Battle of Tibet.
Wu Chenghei has already died, and his health has deteriorated in the past year, he feels that he will die soon, so he died of the prince's heart, because there is no governor, he rarely goes out on weekdays. Wu Sansi also saw it, he is not a fool, the ability of King Wei is far above himself, not to mention, now that he is in charge of the world's soldiers and horses, he can only be his spring official Shangshu. The kings of the Wu clan had different thoughts in their hearts.
Princess Taiping stood behind the empress, but her heart was not a taste, for Wu Zheng. She is now very conflicted in her heart, on one side is her husband, and on the other side is her Li family. She can't forget Li Dan's crying, and she can't forget that Li Xian is so poor that she can't even afford to wear a pair of clothes.
Yong'an Wang Wu Chongyuan, Yongning Wang Wu Chongrun, Hongnong County Lord Wu Yuan'er snuggled tightly to Princess Taiping's side, these are the three older children born to Princess Taiping, the eldest Wu Chongyuan is twelve years old, Wu Chongrun is ten years old, and Wu Yuan'er is eight years old. So young. was knighted by the empress, which shows that Princess Taiping is favored Cheng dΓΉ. Wu Chongyuan is especially like Wu Chong's appearance when he was a child, and he is deeply loved by Wu Zheng's mother. Wu Yuan'er is most like Princess Taiping, and is deeply loved by Taiping and the empress. Wu Chongrun looked very weak, although he stood at the head of the city, he was thinking about the homework he hadn't finished in the morning.
An hour later. The ceremony of dedicating the prisoners is completed. Immediately afterwards, it is necessary to sacrifice to the Taimiao and inform the ancestors of the grand event of sacrificing prisoners, which is a very important ceremony, and women are generally not allowed to participate, but the emperor of this empire is a woman, so there are men and women in the Taimiao.
After a set of tedious and grand ceremonies, the empress dragged her tired body back to the palace, and in the evening she had to feast on the officials. So she had to go back and get some rest.
Princess Taiping did not stay in the palace, so she took her children by the hand and got into the carriage.
in the carriage. Princess Taiping thought about things. Wu Chongyuan asked: "Ah Niang's face is sad, but she is worried about her father?" β
Princess Taiping was stunned, thinking that when Wu Chu was twelve years old, she was already famous all over the world, and although she was a little stupid, she already knew a lot of things.
"Your father is fighting outside, how can Auntie not worry, you, you have to grow up quickly to help your father."
"Mother, Yuan'er misses her father." Wu Yuan'er interjected.
In this way, Princess Taiping and the children talked, and walked towards the mansion of Shang Shanfang, since Wu Chu's expedition, Princess Taiping now lives in this mansion most of the time, and meets important ministers here. As for whether there are other entertainment programs, under the glance of Wu Chu's eyeliner covering the entire Luoyang, I haven't noticed it yet.
And Wu Chuan believes that Princess Taiping is not that brave for the time being, and he doesn't want his wife to wear a colored hat for him. What's more, in today's powerful world, it is absolutely not allowed.
When the carriage stopped in front of Princess Taiping's Mansion in Shangshanfang, Wu Chongyuan got out of the carriage and said, "Why doesn't A-Niang go home, but live here, is it to meet those people?" The child heard that they were secretly insulting their father, why did the mother receive it? β
Princess Taiping was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that the three children were looking at her with strange eyes, and for a while, she didn't know how to answer.
Wu Chongyuan seemed to be enlightened, and said: "If my father will ascend the throne in the future, my mother will be the queen, and I will enjoy endless glory and wealth in my life, and my mother's honor and disgrace will be placed on my father, why does my mother still meet those people here?" β
Princess Taiping's face changed and asked, "Who taught you to say that?" β
Wu Chongyuan bowed and said, "Everyone in the world knows that my father will be the crown prince, why is A-Niang still obsessed?" There is no one to teach the child, and the child is no longer a child. Chongrun, little sister, let's go. β
"Stop!" Princess Taiping said sharply.
The three children suddenly stood still, looked at their mother in surprise, and didn't know what to say for a while. Princess Taiping said slowly: "Okay, Chongyuan, Chongrun, Yuan'er, my mother is just panicking in that old mansion, stay here, let's go back tomorrow." β
Wu Chongyuan wanted to say something, but he still nodded and said: "Please forgive the child for being abrupt, the child should not ask the mother, Mr. said, this is unfilial." β
Princess Taiping didn't expect that Wu Chongyuan, who was a little stupid on weekdays, would be so smart, and couldn't help but smile, "If my son is at fault again, how can A-Niang blame you?" Let's go, let's go in. β
As Princess Taiping's mother and son entered the mansion, in the attic across the street, a foxy and bewitching woman smiled, her figure was convex and backward, her hips were fat and her waist was thin, leaning on the railing, letting the autumn wind blow the green silk, she stretched out her white hand, and stroked the bangs in front of her forehead to her ears.
Actually, she didn't like this hairstyle very much, but the teacher liked it, so she had to do it, but in this way, she also became very lazy, and as long as the teacher didn't come, she rarely took care of herself.
She has a salary of 100 per month, and over the years, she has a net worth of hundreds of thousands, and she can live a beautiful life even if she leaves the teacher, but she just can't do without it.
"Yan Ruyu, what's wrong with you? Isn't it just a man? Aren't there a lot of men? β
Yan Ruyu watched Princess Taiping enter the room, and whispered to herself, she was lonely and hadn't seen the teacher for a long time. (To be continued......)
