Chapter 33 Yongle Pilgrimage
Ji Le was sitting precariously and asked Yu Yuan in a concerned tone: "How was the situation of the people last night, and how was the damage in the city?"
"Your Highness sits firmly in the Spirit Palace, and the people are not harmed. The witches of my Spirit Palace took action and slept with spells, and ordinary people did not know about it. As for the affected houses, they were all repaired by this morning. β
Hearing this, Ji Le nodded silently.
In this era, natural and man-made disasters were frequent, and the people were accustomed to the disasters brought about by the gods. But even so, if you can get the people to get a good night's sleep, why bother them?
"Well done. Ji Le and Yu Yu had a casual chat, talking about life in the Spirit Palace.
"Since I have entered the Yongle Palace, I have to deal with those ghosts, snakes, and gods of the Spirit Palace. Stay with them and see what I do with them. β
"Your Highness really has the means to bind the totem spirit?"
"Spells are all researched, and if you don't have it today, it doesn't mean that you won't have it in the future. 'Those who enter Huaxia will be the ones of Huaxia' These great spirits can be regarded as a good garrison force for the Spirit Palace. β
"But the god of foreign races has to be guarded against. β
"Don't worry, the main hall is measured. Ji Le waved his hand and asked Su Zhi to bring the ornaments she had prepared: "When the Feng'e Palace came down the previous time, I took a lot of things from the Spirit Palace. I will give you some jewelry today. β
"Your Highness is the Holy Spirit of the country, why do you need to return the things of the Spirit Palace?"
"It's not repaid, it's just a reward for your travel for the past few days. A few of you have it too. Ji Le said to the witches behind Yu Yuan, "You have also worked hard during this time. I guess I didn't close my eyes all night last night, right?"
The witches showed a look of surprise, only to hear Ji Le laugh and say: "Even if you dress up, how can you hide from me how you are in spirit? Isn't the main hall still unclear about your physical condition?"
Last night, the witches were tired of running around the city, trying to sleep with witch spells. Not only mentally, but also from the level of spiritual power, the spiritual power they have accumulated is exhausted. After returning to the palace, he didn't rest much, so he followed Yu Yuan over to say goodbye.
Ji Le's fingers moved slightly, and he drew a rejuvenation charm to restore the spiritual power of the women present.
"Last night's incident, this hall temporarily thanked you and others on behalf of the people. β
"The stability of the country will require you to continue to work in the future. Yu Yuan, divide the jewelry. They are all flower-like women, so they always have to dress up. β
Su Zhi walked down with the plate. As he passed the young man, he glanced at him and showed a shocked expression: "These jewelryβ"
The young man's heart shook, familiar, too familiar. He seems to have seen it before he died!
These things are the jewelry that Ji Le embodied in the Yongle Hall early in the morning. The time point is specifically located in the Western Han Dynasty, and it is selected in the era of youth. Of course it sounded familiar to him.
"This guy...... Is it deliberate?" The young man looked at Ji Le, Ji Le didn't notice his gaze at all, and said to the witches with a smile: "Put them all on, put them all on, 'women are the ones who please themselves', who said that witches can't dress up? β
Xia Guo is currently the most short of people, not to mention what witches keep chastity all their lives. In this day and age, there is really no need for shrine maidens to observe festivals for the local chaotic gods.
According to the rules set by Yang Ke's father, witches can marry on their own after the age of twenty-five, and the Spirit Palace is obliged to buy a dowry for them. In the final analysis, the qualifications of the witches who have the spiritual power of cultivation are very good. Most of the offspring they give birth to will inherit their talents.
In the face of these girls with outstanding qualifications, how could Father Yang be willing to let these flower-like witches stay alone in the Spirit Palace and slowly wither? Not to mention the witches, even if the Le Ji and the dancing girls in the Ghost Palace Maids are willing to marry, the state will also strongly support them.
As long as you are willing to give birth, the state will dare to bear the full cost. Not to mention going to the Ming Palace for free recuperation during pregnancy, if you give birth to twins, the royal court also has special gifts to give.
Even for the sake of the married life of witches and prostitutes, Father Yang also deliberately established the "walking marriage system" according to the marriage culture of the local indigenous tribes. Even if those witches don't want to marry, or can't. You can also buy a house by yourself with your family wealth, you don't need to form a family, and you can call a foreigner to conceive at night. It's just that the child needs to be raised by himself, and it has nothing to do with the man's family.
In the final analysis, there are too few descendants of Han descent. In order to increase the population of the Han people, Yang Ke's old father can be said to have broken his heart. It was also during his time that the number of Hermes-Epitek finally exceeded the 100,000 mark. Finally, there is no need to worry too much about the danger of being assimilated by indigenous blood.
With Ji Le's encouragement, the witches had to wear those Western Han court jewelry one by one.
Looking at the costumes of these people, the young man thought in a trance that he had returned to Weiyang Palace......
"It's very lively over here. Shi Huang walked in from behind the palace with two witches. Seeing the girls dressed up, he looked at him: "You got so many more this morning?"
"Not much, the jewelry is only part of it, more things are in the storeroom. β
Because outsiders were present, Ji Le's words were vague, but Shi Huangshi reacted immediately.
Weapons!
Ji Le's embodied items, such as these jewelry, can be given to people, grain crops can be sent to the peasant palace, but many weapons are all placed in the warehouse, obviously he has plans to build his own army.
And now taking care of the witches is also to pave the way for the future female army.
"Old man, where are you?"
"A little tidying up a few copies. But there are too few people. Cangjie didn't sleep all night, and wrote the Four Books and Five Classics silently in the palace, and he had already prepared this kind of Confucian classics.
"Go back and send it to the school palace to complete their scriptures. As for other industries......"
"There's no rush for now. Let those Confucian scholars learn the magic power of the old man's words, this is the intention. β
Xia is different from other city-states. In those countries, because of the worship of the gods, they can learn the magic given by the gods. But the witches of the Xia Kingdom Spirit Palace can only rely on their own research.
Ji Le planned to support them to take the path of Fang Immortal Dao, and it was also seen that the current Spirit Palace system did have the germination of Fang Immortal Dao. Even if there was no Ji Le to make a move, five hundred years later, he would definitely turn to Fang Immortal Dao.
In the past, there was indeed no god in the Xia Kingdom to give divine magic. But now, isn't there a Shi Huang clan?
Ji Le wanted Shi Huang to teach his writing powers to the people as another way to fight and improve the strength of the people.
Confucian scholars and scholars have Shi Huang's clan to teach "writing powers", and military attachΓ©s and soldiers can let young people study the combat method of "entering the Tao with martial arts". The Spirit Palace focused on the evolution of the Fang Immortal Dao.
In this way, the country will bloom with a hundred flowers, and the major cultivation methods will exchange with each other, which can also further enhance the prospects of the Xia Kingdom in the cultivation system.
When Shi Huang heard this, he sat on Ji Le's left hand. Not long after he sat down, someone outside reported that Wu Cheng and others from the Spirit Palace had come to visit.
Yu Yuan's face changed, and she was about to speak, but was stopped by Ji Le. He said lightly: "Since Wu Cheng and the others are here, please come in." β
"In the end, it is the witch of the Spirit Palace, and they will meet the foreign gods later, and they will have to contribute. β
Ji Le called the shots and invited Wu Cheng, Wu Li and others in. Even Wu Luo was forced to come to meet the national spirit under the influence of many witches.
"Wu Cheng/Wu Li/Wu Min/Wu Luo pay a visit to His Highness. β
"Get up and sit down. Ji Le stretched out his hand and pointed, and let the four of them take the witches into the fall. I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, Ji Le arranged Yu Yuan and other witches on the left, and arranged the four witches of the Spirit Palace on the right.
Then, Ji Le closed his eyes and rested his mind.
"Your Highness......" Wu Cheng saw Yu Yuan on the opposite side and was about to say hello. But Ji Le stretched out his hand and held it down: "Wait, the people haven't come yet." β
Didn't anyone come?
Wu Li looked around and saw that almost all the heads of the Spirit Palace were here, and couldn't help but show a different color.
If it wasn't the Spirit Palace, then it could only be the royal court?
After waiting for a while, Tian Ping, dressed in sackcloth, hurried over. The young man took the initiative to greet him and pulled him behind him, indicating that he was also a member of Ji Le's family.
"Another unrecognizable face. Yu Yuan looked at Tian Ping, who was dressed as a farmer, and wondered in her heart: "Shi Huang's family is just that, this Tian Ping and the nameless Excellency, where did His Highness find it?"
Tian Ping originally discussed the art of farming with those farmers in the Farm Palace. But Ji Le reported the news early and asked him to come to the Spirit Palace to meet everyone. So, Tian Ping could only put down the affairs at hand and come over to watch the ceremony.
After Tian Ping, the main owner that Ji Le was waiting for finally arrived.
Ji Le sent Huasheng jewelry to the queen Nangong last night, and asked her to come to the Spirit Palace tomorrow morning to talk about it. Yang Ke was worried that something would happen to his wife, and the royal court had nothing to deal with, so he personally came with Nangong Qingyan.
"Meet the king. β
When Yang Ke arrived, the witches of the Spirit Palace could only get up and salute. Shi Huangshi also left a seat beside him, planning to invite Yang Ke to take a seat.
"Excuse me, I'll come with Nangong, and I'll sit with her. The couple held hands and sat in front of Yu Yu on the left side.
Nangong said softly: "Last night, His Royal Highness the National Spirit sent gold ornaments, and the concubine came to thank you. She took out some food from the royal court and asked Su Zhi to hand it over to Ji Le.
"Be careful, please smile at your highness. β
"Hmph, just some melon and fruit snacks, don't we have them in the Spirit Palace?" Seeing this, Wu Luo suddenly opened his mouth to break the peace.
Yu Yuan's brows moved, and her eyes swept to Wu Cheng opposite: Uncle, did you do it on purpose?
Wu Cheng's face turned dark, and he hurriedly looked at Ji Le. I saw Ji Le tilting his head and looking at Wu Luo with an inquiring gaze. He secretly complained in his heart: I knew that I wouldn't bring this bastard with me today!
Wu Cheng and the others deliberately brought Wu Luo, intending to let Ji Le beat Wu Luo, so that this kid would obediently give up the local god and look back at the embrace of his homeland.
However, this bastard directly ridiculed the Nangong clan in public, which is very likely to make His Royal Highness the National Spirit mistakenly think that it was his own attention and sabotage the overall plan of the three of them.
Ji Le looked at Wu Luo with interest.
Among the witches in the Spirit Palace, Wu Luo was the only one, and Ji Le couldn't feel the faith line on his body.
"This guy doesn't see himself as a Xia countryman. Speaking of which, if this kind of person was born in the Xia Kingdom, but is absent-minded. Will he die with me when I fall, or will he be able to move on to another country?"
"Wu Luo, what are you talking about!" Without waiting for Ji Le to open his mouth to reprimand, Wu Li directly interrupted Wu Luo's words and apologized to the Nangong clan.
"It doesn't matter. The Nangong clan was elegant and generous, and she said softly: "The Spirit Palace is rich in products, and she will not neglect His Highness." It's just that these snacks are made by the four sisters of our own hands, and I want to ask His Royal Highness to comment. β
"That's a good idea. Ji Le ordered someone to accept the gift box and said with a smile: "If the palace thinks it is delicious, do you want to continue to send jewelry when you turn around, and bother the four ladies to help make food?"
Nangong stood up and bowed slightly: "My sisters have nothing to do, only such small skills." If Your Highness likes it, you can come to the royal court as a guest, so why do you need any reward?"
"First of all, my wife said that it was a courtesy, but you can't come to the royal court all day long. Yang Ke pulled Nangong Clan into his seat, staring at Ji Le with a wary face.
Joke, let Ji Le go to the royal court to be with my wife?
Although Yang Ke felt that he looked good, he was ...... in front of Ji Le's little white face Yang Ke had to admit that if a certain "natural disaster-level" goddess came, he would choose between himself and Ji Le. He was sure that the goddess would take Ji Le away.
"Don't let you go to the royal court, then invite Mrs. Nangong to come to the Spirit Palace, the main hall is also very welcome. Ji Le replied to Yang Ke with a smile: "Speaking of which, this time the main hall only invited Mrs. Nangong. I thought that Madame might bring three other ladies, but unexpectedly, it was you who came. β
Ji Le really wanted to find an opportunity to visit the fourth lady of the royal court. He was very curious about these ladies, Yang Ke is also in his twenties now, why hasn't he given birth to an heir for a long time?
I heard that the Nangong clan once gave birth to two sons, but they died early. The other lady also had a miscarriage not long ago.
Was it accidental, or was someone deliberate?
After Ji Le learned the news, his mind had already flashed through the Three Thousand Gong Dou novels, the Eight Hundred Gong Dou TV series, and all kinds of possibilities were guessed.
Inviting all the ladies to come to the Spirit Palace to talk is to find out the root cause and help Yang Ke solve this problem.
Yang Ke is Xia Jun, even if Ji Le wants to fight him and deprive the other party of the throne, there must be an heir, right?
Now that the grace of the predecessors of the Yang family is still there, how can he casually support others? But Yang Ke has never had an heir, and Ji Le can't do it even if he wants to come up with a "change of the country's head". In this case, if something happens to Yang Ke, Ji Leke will be unlucky.
Thinking that he had to spend so much effort for Xia Guo in just a few days after he crossed over, Ji Le couldn't help but lament: In addition to improving the physical fitness of the people, I actually have to worry about Yang Ke's heirs. In the world, is there still a national spirit who is so good and responsible as me?
Forget it, there will be a chance to go to the royal court in the future. Maybe it's not the four ladies, but the environment of the royal court? I remember seeing some information before crossing over, saying that ancient palace buildings may be harmful to the human body.
"What, I'm with my wife, aren't you welcome?"
"There are Yu Yu in the Spirit Palace, are you still worried that the main hall and Wu Cheng and others will not be able to eat your wife? But you are here just in time, and all the witches in the Spirit Palace are here, and the main hall has a question I want to ask. β
"What?" the crowd cheered up and looked at the young national spirit.
Judging from the behavior of this young national spirit, many people think that he is more like a monarch than Yang Ke, at least more in line with the monarch's demeanor in everyone's minds.
So, everyone is curious. What wonderful words does this national spirit have to offer?
Ji Le grinned, and a sense of foreboding rose in the hearts of the young man and Shi Huang.
I only heard Ji Yue's clear voice in the hall: "In essence, our country has not really established a country, and it is still a vassal of the Han Dynasty, which is clear in this hall." But why is it called 'Xia'? Don't you know that 'Great Xia' is the name of a certain country in the Western Regions?"
Yang Ke: "???"
Yu Yuan: "......"
Nangong: "!!"
Witches: "###"
Cangjie: "ββ"
Youth: "***"
