Chapter 36 Ancestor Worship Ceremony
After the Oiran little lady signaled that it could start.
Chu Ge and the three of them glanced at each other, and then shot at the same time.
Three arrows flew up at the same time, slicing across a parabola and falling behind the screen.
Boom.
There was a soft sound of entering the pot.
The rest of the guests on both sides showed expressions of admiration and congratulated Chu Ge.
It turned out that Chu Ge's arrows just now actually knocked the other two outside when he was about to enter the pot, and then entered the pot alone.
This kind of archery is simply amazing.
The little lady of the jacaranda removed the screen, stepped forward and said with a smile: "Congratulations to this lord, you won the first prize, the slave family is tired today, go back to rest first." ”
Chu Ge looked at the stunning-looking mixed-race Oiran in front of him.
said to the two beside him: "Two brothers, I have conceded." ”
The two of them also lost, Zong Hongqing smiled:
"I didn't expect Brother Ge to be so superb in this archery, and I admire it."
Lan Yanjie: "Bah, bah... Wear. ”
Chu Ge dodged the splash of saliva, and then said: "Without him, just from the heart." ”
Not long after the Oiran lady retreated, she saw a maid come over and said to Chu Ge: "This lord, my lady invites you to come into the house and drink tea." ”
Chu Ge raised his eyebrows, patted the shoulders of the two colleagues and said:
"The dancing girls in this courtyard are also very good, have fun tonight, and see you in the courtyard tomorrow."
After speaking, he followed the maid and entered the inner room.
Looking at Chu Ge, who had entered the Oiran house to drink tea, Zong Hongqing said to Lan Yanjie:
"Let's go, we are two brothers, one person and two dancing girls, and we won't save money for this guy."
"Very... Very much. ”
Warm and pleasant in the bedroom.
Behind the screen, steam curls.
Chu Ge was lying comfortably in the bathtub filled with hot water, and the half-race Oiran with outstanding figure was lying in his arms, gently scrubbing his body.
Looking at Chu Ge's strong and powerful body, the jacaranda turned red, riding on Chu Ge's belly, hooking his neck with both hands, and said coquettishly: "I hate it." ”
......
Teaching Division, in the small courtyard of the main body.
Wu Jian and Xiao Yu laid out the mattress, walked out to look at Chu Ge, who was drinking in the courtyard, and said in a flattering voice:
"Your Excellency, it's time to rest."
Chu Ge glanced at the two stunning maids with strange eyes, shook his head and said:
"Rest for now, and I'll sit down a little longer."
Be temperate, and don't work at both ends.
......
A few days later.
Gengzi year, January 15, Jiazi day.
Sacrifices, prayers, and Jiao worship.
Today is the day of the new emperor's ancestors, the inner city gate is closed, the restaurant is closed, the inn is not allowed to stay overnight, and the idle Jianghu guests have also been driven to the outer city the day before.
Liyang Mountain, located on the edge of the imperial city, is a hill only more than 300 meters high.
On it, there is the ancestral temple of the Great Departure Country, and the stone steps are tens of meters wide, leading to the top of the mountain.
Legend has it that this place is the place where the great ancestor emperor broke through the half-step martial god, and then relied on the mountain river sword in his hand to open up this powerful dynasty that has stood for thousands of years.
In winter, the sky has not yet dawned.
The cold wind in the early morning made people's faces cut like knives, but fortunately, Chu Ge, as a congenital martial artist, was thick-skinned enough.
Follow the other colleagues in the inspection courtyard and stand guard by the mountain steps.
Thousands of Praetorian Guards have already surrounded Liyang Mountain.
Suddenly, the majestic and heavy sound of bells and drums came, echoing between the mountains and fields, and a solemn meaning arose.
With the vision of the innate martial artist, it can be seen that at the foot of the mountain, there are hundreds of people in a mighty group, including the royal family, the clan, and the civil and military officials, representing the peak of the power of Dali today, walking slowly towards Liyang Mountain.
Emperor Shunde, who was the leader, wore a bright yellow imperial robe, and his gray hair was tied up with a purple and gold crown.
Although it is well maintained, after all, it is very old, and there are traces of age on his face that cannot be concealed.
Chu Ge slandered in his heart: This old shadow has been fighting for decades, and he finally became the emperor, I'm afraid he will be reluctant to die, right?
Could it be the next Emperor Qianyuan?
Behind Emperor Shunde is the princess in his original palace, the concubine, and now the queen and concubine.
This Emperor Shunde used to pretend to be elegant, so this woman naturally married a lot, and the harem would not be deserted.
Then there was the prince and the princess, the prince who wanted to redeem himself for the sword dance, walked in front impressively, and he could see the excitement in his eyes.
After all, he is about to enter the East Palace.
With his age, it is not surprising that it will not be long before he can succeed to the throne.
How can I not be happy in my heart.
The sacrificial procession began to climb the mountain, and the ministers in charge of the sacrifice immediately got busy, invited the gods, lined up, and made the final preparations for the ancestor worship.
The officials of Taichang Temple brought a large number of offerings and offerings, and there were hundreds of them.
When everything is ready.
Taichang Siqing shouted loudly: "The peace of mind is over, welcome Your Majesty!" ”
The royal relatives and relatives, civil and military officials, knelt down one after another.
Emperor Shunde, who looked solemn, took three steps and kowtowed, and slowly walked towards the ancestral temple.
The solemn and solemn scene made Chu Ge feel that the trip was worthwhile.
After a while, Emperor Shunde ascended to the ancestral temple, the bells and drums stopped, and the blessings were recited by the Taichang Temple.
After the completion, Emperor Shunde burned the blessing in the sound of ritual music, and bowed three times and nine times to the ancestors.
The tedious ancestor worship process lasted for more than an hour before it ended.
......
After the ancestor worship is over.
Emperor Shunde took his concubines and returned to the palace under the escort of the Praetorian Guard.
The officials of the Ministry of Rites also left in a hurry, and there is an enthronement ceremony tomorrow, and there are still many things to prepare.
Chu Ge, who was just about to find a restaurant with Zong Hongqing and Lan Yanjie to listen to music, saw a familiar figure.
"Master."
Chu Ge saluted respectfully.
Zhuge Tao, who was wearing a red-robed official uniform, smiled and nodded.
The red robe is the official uniform of officials above the fourth rank in Dali, and Zhuge Tao's official uniform is embroidered with a brocade chicken, which is the symbol of the second grade.
However, Zhuge Tao was a close confidant of Emperor Shunde and had been helping him manage the Wanjun Martial Arts Pavilion before.
Now that Emperor Shunde is on the throne, with the strength of Zhuge Tao's four-grade martial arts and his intelligent mind, it is reasonable to be reused.
Zhuge Tao motioned for Chu Ge to go with him.
After Chu Ge and his two companions said goodbye, they followed Zhuge Tao into the carriage.
In the carriage, Zhuge Tao asked with a smile: "How are you in the inspection institute recently?" ”
Chu Ge's eyes moved slightly, and he replied, "Everything is fine." ”
Zhuge Tao said: "The people of the inspection institute did not embarrass you because you are His Majesty's person? ”
Chu Ge replied affirmatively: "No, but... The disciples have always been idle in the inspection institute, and they have no access to any information. ”
Zhuge Tao shook his head and said:
"Your Majesty arranged for someone to go to the inspection institute, although it is because of some precautions against the king of Zhenbei, but you don't need to do anything for the time being, you just need to do your own thing."
"Great Departure...... In recent years, there may be a disaster, and at this time, His Majesty and the King of Zhenbei will not have a conflict. ”
