Chapter 319: In charge of Zhan's affairs

After selecting the site of the mausoleum of the first emperor, the five envoys of Shanling led thousands of forbidden troops and tens of thousands of people who were sent from the levy to build a large number of buildings in Gongyi, Henan.

After more than half a year, the construction of buildings such as the milk platform, the sacred wall, the corner que, the Shinto stone statue, the imperial hall, and the lower palace has been completed one after another.

Until September of the tenth year of Tianyou, the magnificent and solemn mausoleum of the first emperor was finally completely completed, and named Yongzhao Mausoleum.

On September 15, the temporary funeral place "Zhugong Palace" built in the palace to store the coffin of the first emperor was removed, and music and dancing were banned in Bianjing City for three days.

On September 18, on the day of the introduction, the new monarch put on mourning clothes and led his ministers to march forward in the first emperor's Zigong Palace, and invited the coffin of the first emperor to the spiritual drive.

Xinjun helped Lingqi to cry on foot, and sent all the way to the palace gate before stopping to return to the palace.

The spirit driver set off under the escort of the five envoys of the mountain tomb and went to the Yongzhao Tomb in Gongyi.

In addition to the royal family relatives and the county lords and county lords who got married, there were also tens of thousands of honor guards, and the momentum was very great along the way.

Two days later, the spirit arrived at the Yongzhao Mausoleum, and waited until the auspicious day of the zodiac selected by the Qin Tianjian to report to Bianjing, and after obtaining the approval of the new monarch, the coffin of the first emperor was buried in the underground palace.

After the coffin of the first emperor was buried, the five envoys of Shanling led the funeral procession to turn around and escort the first emperor Yu (tablet) back to Beijing.

The new monarch led the ministers to greet outside the city of Bianjing, and successively performed the ceremony of Jiuyu, the sacrifice of the cry, and the ceremony of the temple, and then promoted the first emperor Yu to the temple to worship.

At this point, the funeral of the first emperor after more than seven months came to an end, and the whole country gradually got out of the sadness of the first emperor and resumed their daily life.

Wei Chen, as one of the five envoys of the mountains, did his errands conscientiously and was highly praised by the government and the opposition.

Relying on his merits as the envoy of the Lu book, Wei Chen was promoted from a bachelor to a bachelor, that is, a young Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu and a bachelor of Hanlin Shifu, and there are a few more words in the back, in charge of Zhan Shifu.

Not long after Emperor Yan drove, Liu Tingxi, the original Zhan Shi and Hanlin scholar, wrote to the new monarch to beg for bones.

After Liu Tingxi returned to his hometown, Tao Yue, a bachelor at the Hanlin Academy, replaced him as the head of the Hanlin Academy.

However, the position of the person in charge of the Zhan Mansion has been vacant, and it was not until after the funeral of the first emperor that Wei Chen relied on his merits as the envoy of the Lu Book to take charge of the affairs of the Zhan Mansion as a young Zhan minister.

Since the imperial court appointed Wei Chen to take over the Zhan Mansion, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the position of Zhan Shi of the Zhan Mansion vacant by Liu Tingxi is obviously prepared for Wei Chen.

Now Wei Chen is the person in charge of the Zhan Mansion in the actual sense, and as long as he accumulates a few more years of seniority in the position of Shao Zhan Shi, he can be promoted to Zhan Shi logically, and officially rank among the ranks of the three major members of the imperial court.

However, Wei Chen was not in the mood to think about these at this time, although he had gained a lot of credit in the past few months, he was really tired enough to either eat ashes in Gongyi or run around on the road.

Now that he can finally unload his duties and rest for a few days, Wei Chen is already at home, and he can't wait to go home and reunite with his family.

After Wei Chen said goodbye to his colleagues, he came out of Xuande Gate and returned to the Wei Mansion in Lao Ya Lane, it was almost noon.

Wei Chen has been busy outside for a few months, Rulan and Minglan are waiting for him at home, they are almost lovesick, and when they see Wei Chen come back, the two daughters are overjoyed.

Minglan cooked herself, Rulan started and made a big table of good dishes, Wei Chen, his two wives, and his teacher Zhuang Jun happily had a reunion dinner.

At the banquet, seeing the delicate smiles of Rulan and Minglan, the sadness in Wei Chen's heart due to the death of the first emperor was also washed away.

After that, Wei Chen, who was promoted, had to work at home for a few days, and finally he was able to relax.

Taking advantage of the last two days of rest, Wei Chen took Rulan Minglan to the creek next to his manor on the outskirts of the city to relax.

The autumn breeze is cool, the mountain stream is crystal clear, and there is a soft couch on the side, Wei Chen leans on the couch so lazily, and the dappled sunlight shines on his body, making him drowsy.

Wei Chen was still holding a fishing rod in his hand, the fish was floating on the water and swaying gently, the fish had already taken off the hook, but he didn't realize it, and after yawning, the upper eyelid gradually drooped.

Seeing that Wei Chen closed his eyes and took a break, Rulan and Minglan beside him glanced at each other, gently pulled out their warm and soft little hands from Wei Chen's hands, pulled the thin blanket on the side and put it on Wei Chen's waist, and the sisters walked away quietly on tiptoe.

The two sisters Rulan and Minglan moved, but Wei Chen, who was slightly tired, woke up, and Wei Chen didn't make a sound, just continued to pretend to be asleep with half-squinted eyes, wanting to see what the hell Rulan and Minglan were doing.

I saw Rulan and Minglan tiptoe to an old pear tree not far away, circled around the tree twice, looked up at it, and turned their heads to look at Wei Chen sneakily like a thief.

Seeing that Wei Chen was asleep, Rulan looked around a few more times before nodding towards Minglan .

Minglan immediately pulled up her skirt and stuffed it around her waist, rolled up her two sleeves, grabbed the trunk with both hands, and then the two slender and straight thighs shook left and again, and climbed up after a few brushes.

There are many wild green pears hidden in the leafy canopy, and Ming Lan picked some on tiptoe and threw them to Rulan under the tree, who carefully caught them and carried them in her arms.

After picking more than a dozen green pears in a row, Minglan climbed down the tree, ran to the stream with her sister, took out the green pears and washed them in the stream, and one person picked up a kacha and bit it, regardless of whether the wild pear was sour or astringent, and ate it with relish.

At this time, a fish not far away suddenly jumped out of the water, and with a loud noise, Rulan and Minglan who were squatting next to the stream were startled.

As soon as the soles of Rulan's feet slipped, her left foot stepped into the stream, and Minglan wanted to pull her, but she was accidentally taken in.

When the sisters were busy pulling their feet out, they turned their heads and saw their husbands standing behind them with a smile and a groan.

The two sisters were suddenly embarrassed, and stood there with their heads bowed, their fingers twisting around with a wamped expression, like two children waiting to be trained.

Seeing this scene, Wei Chen, who had been smiling all the time, suddenly felt a little distressed.

In Wei Chen's previous life, Rulan and Minglan should be the age when they were greedy and crazy, but in the Great Zhou, they were already husband and family.

On weekdays, I have to pretend to be a gentle and virtuous housewife, and only in this uninhabited mountain can I let go of my nature a little.

Under the anxious gaze of the Rulan sisters, Wei Chen stepped forward silently, carefully pulled down the skirt for them, and brushed the hair on their pink cheeks that was hung by fine sweat, without a word of reproach.

Seeing that Wei Chen was so gentle and considerate, Rulan and Minglan felt more and more guilty, grabbed the corners of their clothes twistedly, and said timidly: "Brother Chen, I'm sorry, we are all Mrs. Decree now, we shouldn't be so disrespectful of the rules and appearance......"

"Isn't it just picking some wild fruits to eat, what's the big deal, when did our family have so many rules?" Wei Chen said disapprerovingly.

Looking down at the green pears that had been eaten on the ground, Wei Chen smiled and said, "Since the two ladies like to eat this wild fruit, then the husband will go and pick some for you again, wait!" ”

After that, Wei Chen touched Rulan and Minglan dotingly, then rolled up his sleeves and turned around and walked towards the wild pear tree.
