Chapter 226: Sacrifice and Marriage
Chapter 226: Sacrifice and Marriage
"Who can solve the sorrow of lovesickness, who can see through the red dust", it is difficult to be a person in a lifetime, it is more difficult for people with benevolence, righteousness, reason, wisdom, and faith, and it is difficult for people with responsibilities and missions on their shoulders.
Year after year, it was General Landa's memorial day, there was a collective cemetery for Chinese people in Qishan, Lan Qier accompanied her mother to her father's grave, swept her father's grave, and expressed her emotions and grief for her family!
Lan Qi'er's mother is a husband of General Lan, and after sweeping the tomb, she was depressed for a while, Lan Qi'er is different, not only her father died, but her husband has also been dead for many years, due to objective factors such as war and emigration, there has been no sacrifice.
Whenever Lan Qi'er encountered a difficult situation, she recalled her husband who gave her responsibilities and obligations, that is, the first emperor of the ancient kingdom of Loulan.
Now that the Western Regions is a time of peace, Lan Qier really has the idea of going to the Peacock River to worship her husband on this day, of course, she also wants to tell her various pressures over the years, so as to tell her husband that he has not disappointed him, and he really protects the people of the country without losing the dignity of the country and the freedom of the people for a while.
Lan Qi'er had an idea, she did not announce it in the court, but personally prepared sacrificial supplies after going down to the court, incense, candles and fruits, and specially brought Princess An Ran out of Qishan Pass accompanied by eighteen hussars, out of Qishan City, and went straight to the Peacock River not far from Shanjun City.
The tomb of the first emperor has no tombstone, it is intentional, it is to let the first emperor sleep quietly under the sand, and not be disturbed by anyone in the future, which leads to everyone only knowing the approximate location of the cemetery for a while.
The eighteen hussars were responsible for the security of the garrison and Lan Qi'er and the others, so they didn't need to worship, so they stayed away from Lan Qi'er and Princess An Ran, and most of them looked in the direction of Shanjun City.
The observation sentinels in Shanjun City had already observed a team staying by the Peacock River, but because they didn't know the situation, they could only ignore it as if everyone was a foreign caravan.
With the cooperation of Princess An Ran, Lan Qier began to place the sacrificial supplies, and after everything was ready, Lan Qier first knelt down to worship, and then asked Princess An Ran to kneel and worship it, explaining the reason for letting her kneel, and then Princess An Ran knew why she was on this trip, it turned out to be to worship the ancestors!
Lan Qier and Princess An Ran both knelt down to bow and bow, kneeling is no need, the two sat on the sand dunes next to the sacrificial gifts, Lan Qier in front of Princess An Ran, began to tell the first emperor about his own difficulties over the years, but also showed that he did not live up to his trust, through efforts to make the people move out of Loulan City, into the Qi Mountain, now the national life is relatively comfortable, Qi Mountain should be the place where the people can live for generations.
Lan Qi'er was telling that there were too many things that Princess An Ran didn't know and didn't understand, including how Lan Qi'er sat on the throne of the dragon chair, including how she could live peacefully in the palace, all of which had a lot to do with Lan Qi'er.
All the circumstances and matters that Lan Qier told are simply legendary to Princess An Ran, and she admires Lan Qier even more in her heart, and realizes the pressure of Lan Qier over the years, not only at the spiritual level, but also about her duties and missions, and a woman's commitment and reply to a man in her heart.
Princess An Ran knew the rights and wrongs in the Loulan Palace before, Lan Qi'er's broad mind, and Lan Qi'er and her father, General Lan's dedication to the people of Loulan.
Lan Qi'er's flower can be said to be complaining to her husband on the one hand, and conveying to Princess An Ran what everyone should bear, knowing that Princess An Ran can understand and perceive it.
The ceremony ended with Lan Qi'er's complaints, Princess An Ran really got a spiritual baptism, knowing why people live, knowing that some people live for their own interests, some people live for the interests of their families, some people live for the interests of the family, and some people live for the interests of the country.
People are all living for a lifetime, but the meaning is completely different, this difference may be related to status, maybe it is related to the cycle of cause and effect, maybe it is related to the historical background, maybe it is related to the duty and mission, but no matter what it is related to, it will eventually be implemented in the person himself, and finally it must be implemented in the belief of the person, and the understanding of the duty and mission of everyone outside the implementation.
Lan Qi'er was relieved through the ceremony, and her body and mind were much more relaxed for a while, Princess An Ran was educated, and the group went straight to Qishan City.
Of course, the Han soldiers of Shanjun City had a wrong perception of what was going on by the Peacock River outside the city, why didn't the exotic caravans outside the city come to Shanjun City and didn't enter Shanjun City? Instead, he returned the same way, and was gradually moving away from Shanjun City, so he immediately reported to the city defense Han general.
Because the place of worship of the first emperor was within the defense range of Shanjun City, in order to find out the reason, the Han generals personally led 200 soldiers out of the city and inspected the Peacock River.
The Han generals didn't know if they didn't get to Lan Qi'er's sacrificial ground, and they didn't know what the reason was, but they just saw that there were more sacrificial supplies on the sand dunes by the Peacock River, and it was normal to wonder and guess, no matter what, the sacrifice was obvious, but I didn't know who to sacrifice?
After Lan Qi'er returned to Qishan City, she said to Princess An Ran: Princess, people are born and die, but the meaning is different, I can see that you are a child with a sense of duty and mission, are you?
Princess An Ran looked at Lan Qi'er, and said from time to time: Your Majesty, I will be a princess with a sense of duty and mission, and I can afford the princess's duty and mission! Yes!
Princess An Ran has been in her twenties for a while, and it is time for her to choose her partner husband, in fact, Princess An Ran already has a favorite husband-to-be in the court, that is, the newly appointed deputy Shi Ye Feihong of the household department through the imperial examination.
As the emperor, Lan Qi'er is very concerned about everyone in the harem, watching Princess An Ran grow up day by day, she is very happy and gratified, and her mind to choose a husband has been passed through her mother and Mrs. Hu, and her mind has of course been recognized and supported by everyone.
The big thing naturally fell on Lan Qi'er, in her spare time in the imperial study through the conversation with Princess An Ran, she knew that there was already a candidate in Princess An Ran's heart, Lan Qi'er heard Princess An Ran's talk, and she also knew a little about this person, but she didn't know the details of the situation, so she said: Okay, then I will take a closer look at this person for you, right?
Princess An Ran knew what Lan Qi'er meant, so she laughed and didn't talk about it.
Time is flying, all the circumstances of Ye Feihong have been verified, and Lan Qier already has a number in her heart, she thinks that Ye Feihong is a reasonable marriage partner for Princess An Ran, people are equal, no matter men and women, no matter how high or low the status, Princess An Ran has no problem in this regard, for marriage is a matter of two people, Lan Qier must respect Ye Feihong's wishes, and she cannot give marriage directly, so she personally edicted Ye Feihong, the deputy head of the household department, in the imperial study.
On this day, Ye Feihong, the deputy of the household department, just went to his own house in the morning, and the eunuch Xue greeted him in person, this is the eunuch Xue, Ye Feihong knew his status, and immediately gave a salute to the eunuch Xue, and he knew that there was a great joy and smashed it on his head, which is a great thing for anyone, if he is not surprised, he is not only the concubine of the ancient country of Loulan, but also the husband of the empress in the future.
Lan Qi'er waited for her arrival in the imperial study, Ye Feihong entered the imperial study and knelt on the ground to give a salute, and Lan Qi'er deliberately asked him about some of his political views on the current country's government and what his ambitions were in the future.
The main topic is to be introduced, Lan Qi'er slowly turned the topic to personal issues, and through conversation, Lan Qi'er also knew that Ye Feihong had a good impression of Princess An Ran in her heart, but Princess An Ran was too noble, which she didn't dare to think about and couldn't associate with each other.
Lan Qi'er finally said her meaning to Ye Feihong, that is, Princess An Ran has reached the age of marriage, it is time to get married, and she needs a person who can give support and help in all aspects at the national level, if you want, you can tolerate and support Princess An Ran, and now make a stand in front of me, right?
Of course, Ye Feihong was surprised, and understood Lan Qi'er's words, this is the empress's words, if she expresses her position now, it is to promise the empress, it is irreversible, it is to marry the princess, and her heart is happy and at the same time there is pressure, that is, she will have to face the princess every day in the future, because she has never thought about it, she really doesn't know what her life will be like in the future, but she also knows a little about Princess Enron, Princess Enron is not a rude and willful person, she has been influenced and taught by the empress, and she is reasonable. Although noble, it is by no means an incomprehensible person!
Ye Feihong then said: All the ministers' holy decrees are, and everything is quietly listened to the emperor's holy words.
Lan Qi'er knew the wishes of the minister Ye Feihong, so she said: Okay, I will marry her in the court in three days, if Ye Aiqing has any objections, you can please see it in the imperial study within three days, I will respect your choice, if I don't see you in the imperial study within three days, it will be decided, Ye Aiqing will wait to marry Princess An Ran, be a concubine, okay, retreat!
Ye Feihong said: The minister's holy decree, the minister retreated, Ye Feihong slowly stood up and exited the imperial study.
The good thing is smooth, Ye Feihong got the marriage of the empress Lan Qier, married Princess An Ran, and built a horse mansion outside the palace, and the two had their own home.
Although Princess An Ran did not have the right to speak in the court for a while, she already had personal opinions and objections to the political opinions of the ministers in her heart, so she often consulted Ye Feihong in the Horse Mansion, which led to Ye Feihong not only having to play the political discussions within the scope of her responsibilities in the court every day, but also listening carefully to the political discussions of the ministers in the court, so as to deal with Princess An Ran's inquiries and consultations after returning to the palace.
The two often quarrel because they can't argue, of course, the two have a way to deal with quarrels, that is, once there is a dispute on the disagreement, they will enter the imperial study at any time to ask Lan Qi'er for judgment, so that they can not quarrel, but agree and be happy.
Through a period of living together, Ye Feihong accepted Princess An Ran in her heart, respected her as a woman, and respected her open-mindedness towards people and things like the empress, and loved her for being kind to the people and small animals, and of course she became a friend of bees and wolves.
Lan Qi'er saw that Princess An Ran was already very concerned about the government with the help of Ye Feihong, and she had a unique opinion, which was really good.
What made him even happier was that he saw the harmonious coexistence of the two, and that there were quarrels and contradictions in political discussions, which were produced by seeking truth, truth-seeking, and solving, and were not family trivialities, which made Lan Qier greatly hope for the future of the ancient kingdom of Loulan!
