readx;? Yongdu, as the former capital of Great Qin, was once the most prosperous and core city of Qin, and it has its own glorious history. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

However, the current Yongdu, not to mention the comparison with Xianyang, even compared with Wanxian, is far inferior.

Because in Zhang Jiashi's eyes, Yongdu is already dilapidated.

Such a thing was very unexpected by Zhang Jiashi. Because in his imagination, although Yongdu is no longer the national capital, it should still be quite prosperous. It's just that the current Yongdu can only be said to be like the current sunset in the west, gradually declining.

Zhang Jiashi was even able to rely on the afterglow of the setting sun to see the city wall of Yongdu, which was mottled and fell off and fell into disrepair.

"What are you thinking, husband?" Ying Yuexi, who was following Zhang Jiashi, saw Zhang Jiashi's silence in her eyes, and then she asked softly: "Did you see the current situation in Yongdu and feel unimaginable?"

"yes. Zhang Jiashi didn't hide anything: "A few hundred years ago, Yongdu should still be the most prosperous city in Qin, but after the capital was moved, it quickly declined. This cannot but make people sigh. ”

"Husband, such a thing is inevitable, because the pattern of Yongdu is too small, and it is simply impossible to withstand and support the development of Great Qin. Ying Yuexi gently said the reason for moving the capital to Dongyang in history.

Zhang Jiashi nodded lightly, and then took Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian's hands like this, and slowly looked at the slightly dilapidated city wall of Yongdu that seemed to be paved with a layer of gold.

However, neither Zhang Jiashi nor the two daughters expected that at this time, a young female voice came from behind them: "Aunt Xi, Aunt Lian, uncle, what are you doing?"

The three of them looked back, Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian quickly let go of the hand that was let go by Zhang Jiashi, and then walked in front of the little girl and said, "Mingming, Auntie likes you the most." After the two of them said that, they made some intimate gestures to a certain little Lori, which Zhang Jiashi was very stunned.

After Zhang Jiashi came back to his senses, he said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, what is this?"

Ying Yuexi led this little girl named Ming Ming to his side at this time, and then said, "She is the daughter of Brother Ziying. Many times I will go into the palace to play, because Yuexi is not in good health, so she often comes to me to play. ”

Zhang Jiashi suddenly realized at this time.

He couldn't help bending down and stroking the hair of this little girl named Ming Ming, and was about to say something, when suddenly, Zhang Jiashi raised his head and asked, "Your Royal Highness Princess, you said that Ming Ming's father is a son and a child?"

"yes. Ying Yuexi shook her head suspiciously, and then said, "Husband, what's wrong?"

Zhang Jiashi then smiled slightly: "Nothing." ”

But he was entangled in his heart: "There is nothing to have a ghost, because the son and the child can be said to be very not simple." Of course, Zhang Jiashi was not stupid enough to say this sentence that he was looking for trouble himself.

At this time, one after another, under the arrangement of the inner servants who had already arrived, entered Yongdu.

And soon, under the guidance of an attendant, they entered Yongdu.

This is not to say that they cannot enter Yongdu directly, but in many cases, Yongdu's housing arrangements must have a set of regulations. Although it is not a long time to live, however, Yongdu is no longer than before, in addition to the Dazheng Palace and other buildings, the maintenance of Yongdu on weekdays is more handed over to the internal history to carry out. So, with the exception of a few houses, houses in many areas are actually not able to accommodate too many people.

Yongdu itself has some aborigines, but compared to the huge worship procession, even if the houses of these aborigines are really cleared out, I am afraid that more members of the Qin clan will not be arranged.

Therefore, in the matter of worshipping the ancestors in Yongdu, Daqin divided the clan relatives into two classes, one class is the clan relatives who can be arranged to live in Yongdu and are more close in blood, and the other class is only able to live outside the city for one night with a simple tent.

And Zhang Jiashi and the two princesses, of course, are the former. They were placed in a larger, old courtyard and lived next to each other.

They say they live next to each other, but in fact they are just separated by a wall.

At this time, some carriages carrying a large number of materials drove into Yongdu one after another to prepare for tomorrow's sacrifice. And Zhang Jiashi also saw the stag, which was locked in a cage and slowly pulled into Yongdu.

......

There is a big difference between worshipping ancestors and funeral ceremonies, although worshipping ancestors does not need to tie mourning clothes and filial piety, but the Qin clan who attended the Yongdu sacrifice activities often had to wear a set of dark or plain robes and long skirts. Therefore, after having dinner with Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian, Zhang Jiashi and others saw several soldiers walking in with a box.

The commander of one of the guards led by the commander of the guard army knelt on the ground to Zhang Jiashi and the three of them, and said, "Captain Zhang, two princesses, Your Majesty has sent tomorrow's sacrificial costumes. ”

Zhang Jiashi nodded, and the chief stood up and said goodbye to the three of them.

Zhang Jiashi opened the box, then took out two white silk dresses, and handed them to the two palace maids who came up, and finally saw a sacrificial robe with nearly five costumes in one.

"......" Zhang Jiashi shook his head helplessly, while Ying Yuelian giggled: "You can be content, my father has to wear seven full sets of sacrificial robes tomorrow." ”

Zhang Jiashi shook his head, then looked at Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian, and said after a while: "This is not the point, the point is how to wear this thing?"

The faces of the two women couldn't help but show a hint of blush because of Zhang Jiashi's words, and after they glanced at each other, they said in unison: "We don't know how to dress, we can't help our husband." ”

Zhang Jiashi raised his head suspiciously because of these words, and then he saw the shy faces of the two women, and suddenly remembered something, and pretended to be vicious: "Oh? Yes? Zhang doesn't believe that the two princesses don't know such a thing." ”

"If you don't know, you don't know, can't we just think about it?" Ying Yuelian turned white like Zhang Jiashi, and then glanced at Ying Yuexi, and said, "We are sleepy......"

Zhang Jiashi sighed helplessly at this time: "I still want to let Zhang's good Xi'er and Lian'er help when the time comes." Alas, there is no way, Zhang has to find someone who knows how to dress to help. ”

Hearing Zhang Jiashi's words, Ying Yuelian, whose face became more and more ruddy, gritted his teeth: "Hmph, who is your good ripple......?

Speaking of Ying Yuelian here, she couldn't help but laugh, and Ying Yuexi, who was blushing, glanced at Zhang Jiashi charmingly, and said after a while: "Husband can come to our room early tomorrow morning, and Lian'er and I will help." ”

"Who wants to help him ......" Ying Yuelian said this sentence stiffly, but she quickly changed her tone: "Put the clothes with us." ”

Zhang Jiashi smiled, and let Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian, whose little faces were flushed, give him a roll of the eyes......

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

Early the next morning, after the rooster crowed, Zhang Jiashi came to the next room. After several palace maids gave him a slight blessing, a palace maid about thirty years old led by him said, "Duwei Zhang, the two princesses are already waiting. ”

Zhang Jiashi nodded and walked into the room.

And they had already changed into their own set of plain robes, and Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian were sorting out the five sets of sacrificial robes.

After Zhang Jiashi entered the room, the two took off a set of light black linen clothes for Zhang Jiashi, and then put them on for Zhang Jiashi.

Zhang Jiashi's set of five priestly robes is a kind of clothing inherited from the Zhou rites. The colors correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Of course, according to the specifications of the Qin Dynasty, Zhang Jiashi had to wear the black Xuanniao pattern robe that represented the water virtue on the outermost.

And Ying Zheng's sacrificial robes are of the highest specification, with seven pieces.

And unlike Zhang Jiashi, the pattern of Ying Zheng's robe is a totem of a white bird, which conforms to the black and white style of Daqin.

When Zhang Jiashi was wearing his robe, he suddenly remembered something that he couldn't understand, and he couldn't help but ask the two girls who were sorting out his robes: "Xi'er, Lian'er, why does Your Majesty want me to sacrifice three animals?"

When the two heard this, they looked at each other and shook their heads.

Ying Yuexi helped Zhang Jiashi tidy up the corners of his clothes, and said softly: "If my father does this, there must be his arrangement." Don't think too much about it, husband. ”

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he nodded lightly, because what Ying Yuexi said was very reasonable, and if Ying Zheng's thoughts could be guessed at will, it would be impossible.

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

After Zhang Jiashi left the mansion, he got into a carriage and went to the gate of Dazheng Palace.

When they came to the gate of Dazheng Palace, they found that many people had already come here.

Just like when they set off in Xianyang yesterday, these Great Qin clans were all filmed in a queue according to their blood kinship with the First Emperor Yingzheng. Of course, unlike the situation in Xianyang, there are many more people.

After Zhang Jiashi took the hands of Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian, and got out of the carriage, he asked in a low voice, "Is this all the clan relatives of Daqin?"

Ying Yuexi shook her head, and also lowered her voice: "Husband, this is impossible, Daqin's clan is far more than this number, because some people have committed crimes and have been removed from the clan, of course these people are not qualified to appear on this occasion." Moreover, the women of the clan who marry out, except for us princesses, are also not qualified to worship their ancestors. ”

Ying Yuexi's explanation made Zhang Jiashi understand what kind of approximate this is.

At this time, the old man who should be Zongzheng slowly walked in front of the three of them: "Duwei Zhang, please come with the old man." ”

Zhang Jiashi nodded, because the other party's arrangement should make sense.

"Please lead the way. ”

"Don't dare, this is what the old decay should do. ”

After arching their hands to each other, the two entered the Dazheng Palace through the small door on the side of the Dazheng Palace.

And Zhang Jiashi turned around and saw Ying Yuexi and Ying Yuelian, and walked to the front of the team, slowly standing next to their sisters.

......

Zhang Jiashi followed behind this old Zongzheng and slowly walked to the road to the main hall of Dazheng Palace.

Zongzheng kept telling him some etiquette to pay attention to, especially some matters after following Yingzheng into the Jong Temple.

Zhang Jiashi carefully memorized these rules in his mind.

After the two of them walked to the front of the main hall of Dazheng Palace, Zong Zheng said to him: "Duwei Zhang, Your Majesty is waiting for you inside." ”

"Zhang is annoyed by Zongzheng. Zhang Jiashi looked at Lao Zongzheng vigorously.

"It doesn't matter, it's something that old people should do. Lao Zongzheng said this, and after returning the salute to Zhang Jiashi, he left backwards.

And Zhang Jiashi glanced at Yingzheng, who was dressed like a black zongzi, sitting quietly in the middle of the main hall, as if he was closing his eyes and recuperating, and walked up slowly.

Ying Zheng did not raise his head, but gently stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Jiashi to sit in front of him.

Zhang Jiashi followed Ying Zheng's instructions, walked to three meters in front of Ying Zheng, and sat down.

After a while, Ying Zheng opened his eyes and said calmly: "Zhang Jiashi, can you guess what I want to do with this arrangement?"

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Ying Zheng to call him by his name directly, instead of saying something like a bastard.

But he still shook his head: "Back to Your Majesty, I don't know." ”

Ying Zheng heard Zhang Jiashi's reply, and he didn't get angry, but said lightly: "In your eyes, what kind of person am I?"

After Zhang Jiashi and Ying Zheng glanced at each other, he said after a while: "Your Majesty is the master of the eternal talents, no matter before, in the future history books, Your Majesty's pioneering deeds will be endless. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I ...... That's not what you need to hear. I ask you, is there immortality in the world?"

After Zhang Jiashi heard this, he felt the Yingzheng in front of him, and his momentum suddenly changed, and he felt an unprecedented pressure.

However, after Zhang Jiashi took a deep breath, he said: "Your Majesty! What can you do even if you are immortal? Everything in heaven and earth has its own rise and fall of honor and disgrace, and everything is like water flowing eastward, which is already a kind of law. ”

Ying Zheng took a deep look at Zhang Jiashi and shook his head: "Do you think that immortality is of no use?"

Zhang Jiashi thought for a while, resisted the increasingly strong momentum exuded by Ying Zheng's body, and said a sentence: "Immortality, if it can't make people happy, angry and sad, then such an immortality is not worth mentioning for ministers." ”

"Really?" Ying Zheng slowly closed his eyes, and said after a while, "You, what do you think is what you have to do?"

"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't ask for much, it's not high-ranking officials, it's not power and money, but the ability to live freely under the premise of ensuring one's own safety and protecting the people he wants to protect. Zhang Jiashi thought of Ying Yuexi, Ying Yuelian, Yu Miaoyi, and even more remembered everything that would happen in history. He didn't know how he was going to go about the next path.

But Ying Zheng opened his eyes again at this time, and he looked at Zhang Jiashi deeply: "Do you think Great Qin can last forever?"

"Your Majesty, for eternity...... It's just a dream, but if people can do the best they can, and the same is true for monarchs, then there will not be too much turmoil in the inheritance of a country. Zhang Jiashi stubbornly said this sentence.

Ying Zheng shook his head and said calmly: "You are saying this for self-preservation, and the young man who dared to speak out that day seems to have disappeared." “

"Your Majesty, although Zhang protects himself, he will also have what he wants to do. Zhang Jiashi said something that made Yingzheng smile.

Looking at Ying Zheng's smile, Zhang Jiashi found that his pressure seemed to disappear without a trace in an instant.

In the end, Ying Zheng did not speak, but closed his eyes again, slowly waiting for something to come.

And Zhang Jiashi didn't speak, and the two sat quietly in the main hall of the empty Dazheng Palace.

......

I don't know when, a bell rang, and after Ying Zheng stood up, he slowly said a sentence to Zhang Jiashi: "Do you dare to swear to the ancestors of Great Qin to protect Great Qin?"

Zhang Jiashi was very shocked by Ying Zheng's question, because he didn't expect Ying Zheng to ask this question.

"Your Majesty knows what will happen in the future?" or ......" Zhang Jiashi didn't think about it, but knelt on the ground again: "The minister can't guarantee it, but the minister is willing to protect Daqin, and if he is not alive, he will be ruined overnight!"

After hearing this, Ying Zheng nodded slowly: "Very good, you will follow me into the temple, and I will give you something." Get up, it's time to begin. ”

Zhang Jiashi stood up from the ground and said slowly, "Oh." ”

...................................................... Dividing Line................................................

The bell ringing just now is the bell that opens the main gate of Dazheng Palace and allows the clan to enter Dazheng Palace.

After Ying Zheng and Zhang Jiashi appeared on the steps in front of the main hall, all the clans slowly knelt on the ground.

And Ying Zheng motioned to the chamberlain to read out a book.

After the book was read, Ying Zheng asked everyone to stand up, and then slowly turned around and walked towards the temple. Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, took over a large plate, on which were the three animal offerings, including the deer's head.

This weight is not too heavy for Zhang Jiashi, but Zhang Jiashi always feels that his heart is a little hairy. After all, a place like Zongmiao is always a bit weird for him.

And Ying Zheng didn't seem to pay attention to Zhang Jiashi behind him, but walked forward silently.

I don't know how long it took to walk, Zhang Jiashi followed Ying Zheng and came to a small palace. And the two chamberlains, who had been waiting here for a long time, slowly pushed open the door of the temple.

"Let's go inside. Ying Zheng said slowly, and he took the lead in entering this temple.

Zhang Jiashi, on the other hand, sighed softly and walked into this palace. And after Zhang Jiashi entered the palace, the two attendants closed the door again and slowly.
