Chapter 488: Phoenix Festival
"Well, I can understand what Lord Qu means, but I still think that this sacrifice to the heavens and the girl can be canceled." Chu Li and Qu Qing have been arguing over this item for several days, but to this day there is no result.
Sacrifice to the heavens and ask for a woman?
Dongfang Zitang: "......"
She only realized before that she had reached the age of marrying a husband, why did she suddenly reach the age of being born?
Qu Qing shook his head: "Your Majesty and Queen Feng have been married for three years now, but there is no news of the heir of the phoenix, don't look at the ministers who have not forced Your Majesty to accept the monarch, it is only because Your Majesty has not lived in the palace for many years, in fact, they are already preparing for the election of the emperor for the phoenix in private." ”
Chu Li nodded: "I understand what Master Qu means, but what matters is Huang Shang's own thoughts, isn't it?" ”
Qu Qing didn't speak, in fact, the content of this sacrifice to the heavens and the girl is indeed the tradition of the Snow Saint Country, and the Phoenix Emperor who does not have a phoenix girl will hold a link of worshipping the heavens and asking for a woman on his birthday every year. However, Qu Qing also knew that they, His Majesty the Phoenix Emperor, didn't seem to like these.
"It doesn't have to be held."
At this time, an unexpected voice appeared in front of the two, and when they realized the owner of the voice, the two hurriedly saluted.
"See Phoenix."
"Master."
Dongfang Zitang raised his hand and found a chair to sit down: "The reason why I ask for a daughter is that I am afraid that there will be no successor to the Snow Saint Kingdom, if I am not dead, why worry about having no successor?" ”
"......"
Qu Qing didn't continue, but Dongfang Zitang knew what Qu Qing was talking about. Spiritual longevity, especially for monks in the Linghu period, can live up to 400 years of age. However, for the sake of the people's peace of mind, the successive Phoenix Emperors of the Snow Saint Kingdom would abdicate before the age of two hundred, and in front of the people, even if the spiritual limit of the Snow Saint Kingdom with the elixir was added, it would not be many years higher than the limit of martial cultivation. Even Emperor Shangying Huang abdicated in the 190th year of his succession, and in the history of the Snow Saint Kingdom, he was one of the latest Emperor Huang to abdicate.
"What's there to do? Then tell the people that spirituality is just about living a long time? Chu Li continued.
Qu Qing was stunned, how could Chu Li ask such a question? What if the people can't accept it and cause civil unrest? She subconsciously looked at Dongfang Zitang, Dongfang Zitang's face was calm, and it looked like she was supporting Chu Li's words.
"No, no, no...... This will create civil unrest......"
"Can't? Why not? If there is turmoil, then suppress it, or can you say that Master Qu can't even suppress the turmoil of the people? Chu Li smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "The royal family wants to treat the people well and let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but it does not mean that the people do not have the right to know the truth, we will tell them the truth, whether they can wake up to something, find something, or accept something, this is the people's own business." ”
Just because she wants to appease a group of people and make them more balanced in their hearts, she wants to let her first master have children? That's ridiculous. What's more, Chu Wei didn't think it was okay to tell the people about these things, they had been in the dark for tens of thousands of years, and it was time to know the truth.
"Everything will be done according to the meaning of the first light." After Dongfang Zitang finished speaking, he stood up and left.
Have a baby? Dongfang Zitang didn't think that this matter would have anything to do with her, she would take care of the Snow Saint Country and protect the people of the Snow Saint Country, but it didn't mean that she would sacrifice herself for the Snow Saint Country.
Education is necessary to equalize the relationship between men and women, but what is more needed is to prove that men can be stronger than women if they work hard in the Snow Holy Country, and women can be stronger than men if they work hard in the Land of Men. The prohibition of this world is about to be opened, and it is only a matter of time before the future journey of spiritual and martial arts is announced.
A person's life should not only be for starting a family, living a good life, continuing the bloodline, the world is so wide, should let people with ideas have a bigger choice. Dongfang Zitang thinks so.
The next day, on the twentieth birthday of the Snow Saint Guohuang, Dongfang Zitang was pulled by the palace people to sit in front of the dresser and dress up as soon as he arrived in the early morning. Dongfang Zitang saw two sets of clothes, one was a golden yellow phoenix suit, and the other was a red sacrificial costume, but because Dongfang Zitang canceled the sacrificial link, I am afraid that the sacrificial costume will not be used.
After finishing the makeup, the palace people put on a gorgeous phoenix robe for Dongfang Zitang, and a palace man knelt in front of Dongfang Zitang with a golden basin and a basin of water: "Please wash your hands on the phoenix." ”
Dongfang Zitang washed his hands in the golden basin, and immediately another palace person came to wipe Dongfang Zitang's hands, and after wiping his hands, he painted a layer of gold on Dongfang Zitang's nails.
Mu Xian's side was not much easier, he was also tossed by the palace people all morning, and changed into the phoenix robe of the queen of the phoenix.
One came out of the Wutong Palace, the other came out of the Splendid Palace, and finally the two met, smiling slightly, Dongfang Zitang stretched out his hand towards Mu Xian, Mu Xian put his hand on Dongfang Zitang's hand, and walked towards the palace gate.
The beginning of the Phoenix Festival began with the Snow Saint Phoenix Emperor and the Snow Saint Phoenix Queen having breakfast on the palace wall.
Dongfang Zitang and Mu Xian took their seats together, and the people who had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time cheered.
"Phoenix! Huangshang! It's the phoenix and the phoenix! ”
"Finally see our phoenix and phoenix!"
"That year, Huang Shang returned to China, Dongfang Haoxue's stinky and shameless bitch stopped outside the palace gate, all the nobles, only the Phoenix Queen at that time accepted the Phoenix Shang, I knew that the Phoenix would definitely marry the Phoenix Queen!"
"Yes, when times of sorrow, only the Phoenix Queen reaches out to the Phoenix to help, and the relationship between the Phoenix and the Phoenix Queen is really enviable."
Listening to the words outside the palace, Mu Xian's face was slightly red, and he raised his wine glass: "Huangshang, this cup Mu Xian respects you." ”
Although he was holding a wine glass, Mu Xian ordered someone to replace the wine with water yesterday.
Dongfang Zitang smiled, took the wine glass, pursed his lips and drank down: "Thank you Queen Feng." ”
In the cheers of the people, Dongfang Zitang and Mu Xian finished their breakfast. At the end of breakfast, there was a parade, Dongfang Zitang and Mu Xian got on the soft sedan chair, today the two of them will parade in the capital of the Snow Saint Kingdom, it was originally planned to sacrifice to the sky and ask for a woman later, but the content of the sacrifice was changed to a visit to the village outside the city.
"I wish you good health and happiness!"
"I wish the phoenix a long life!"
"I wish the phoenix and the phoenix queen a blessing!"
“……”
Along the way, the people of the Snow Saint Kingdom cheered. Dongfang Zitang felt one thing, the citizens of the Snow Saint Country seemed to be more dependent on and loved by the royal family of the Snow Saint Country than the citizens of other countries.
Maybe it's because the Snow Saint Country is strong, or maybe it's because of the people's trust in the royal family of the Snow Saint Country, maybe it's because of education, or maybe it's because of something else. These Dongfang Zitang did not think too deeply, the country gave a safe home, so that the people could live and work in peace and contentment, and the people should be enthusiastic.
The publication of spiritual secrets may bring uproar to the world and panic among ordinary people, but history needs to progress, and even if there are sacrifices along the way, there is no way around it.
Chu Li looked at the people on both sides, and also had the same mood as Dongfang Zitang, but she knew that time would prove the value of some rulers' decisions, whether these people believed it or not, feared it or not, spirituality existed. Time has proven many things right and wrong, and one day it will prove right or wrong in this decision.
