Chapter 252: Sacrifice to the Heavenly Terrace

She is the daughter of the Marquis of Beiting, and there are some things she can say, but you can't.

Because it was Prince Zhaoming and his cronies who died in Chongyang Pass that year, leaving only one of the Shen family to take care of their young son.

And now the daughter of the Shen family has married the son of Prince Zhaoming and gave birth to the current King Huainan.

Today, Shen Mingzhu can say a few words and throw his sleeves forward, change to someone else, who dares, if Gu You argues with her, no matter whether it is right or wrong, people only say one sentence and remember that they couldn't help but be angry in their hearts back then, and they couldn't control it, and it was Gu You who was unlucky.

Zhou took a deep breath, and was also afraid that Gu You would have a grudge against this concubine of the Beiting Marquis' Mansion: "You don't have to fight with her, I heard that she is going to marry into the Huainan Mansion as a princess, if you offend her, our family will not be able to get benefits." ”

"Marry Huainan Wangfu as a princess?" Gu You couldn't help but almost scream, "How is this possible?!" ”

Then Li Chongyang clearly said that he wanted to marry her at that time, how could he marry someone else!

Even if she resented Li Chongyang's bunch of concubines at the beginning, how long did it take for him to change his mind and marry someone else?

Gu You's eyes were red.

"Why is it impossible?" Zhou said, "The Shen family is the maiden family of Concubine Shen, and Miss Shen is the cousin of King Huainan. ”

This Shen Mingzhu Zhou also knows that he heard that it is a powerful means, and those nameless concubines in Huainan Palace, forget it, they can't get on the stage, but if anyone moves his heart to marry and become Princess Huainan, he will be unlucky.

Gu You's face was red, his eyes were red, and he clenched his fists tightly, but he didn't speak.

Zhou hurriedly took her into the hall to find a place to sit down and rest.

About half an hour had passed, and it was time for the worship.

At this moment there was a hurried sound of the bell, and the group got up and walked out of the hall.

The altar has an eight-story tower divided into three platforms.

In front of the tower is the highest place, in front of the tower placed a big tripod, is the purpose of worship, at the time of worship, His Majesty will stand here to worship.

The platform in the middle is divided into two sides by the steps, which is where the royal family, several princes, and princes stand, and on the left side of the steps are women, and on the right are men.

The last platform is the square of the altar, and the rest of the officials are standing, and there is a vacant position in the middle, and the men and women are separated, and the women are still on the left and the men are on the right.

Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu followed Mrs. Xie to find a relatively high position and stand.

Mrs. Xie is also a cabinet scholar, although he doesn't do anything now, but his official position has not been removed, so in the last ladder, he can be regarded as one of the people with the highest status.

After standing still, there are monks to send incense for worship, because the time for reciting the sacrificial text is not short, so the incense is not burned at this time, and when the worship is completed, you can go to the stage to light the incense and put it in the top of the big ding.

"In the twenty-eighth year of the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the Chongyang Festival, the emperor, the Jianyuan led hundreds of officials and sacrificed to the Tiantai to worship the heroic spirits of the ancestors, kneeling-"

The master of ceremonies read out the sacrificial text, His Majesty stood under the tower, before the big ding, there were hundreds of officials and relatives kneeling behind him, and the black and white were white.

Your Majesty is the king of a country, the Son of Heaven, and he does not kneel.

After everyone knelt, the master of ceremonies read the prayer.

The sacrificial text is cumbersome and tongue-twisting, and listening to it makes people have to guess the meaning word by word, but the sacrificial text is read to the worship heroes, and it doesn't matter if you don't understand it, just kneel and listen to it.

If it were a different scene, listening to these tongue-twisting things that I didn't understand, it would definitely make people drowsy, but at this time, no one dared to fall asleep, and everyone listened attentively.

Xie Yixiao still understood a little at the beginning, and the sacrificial text told the identity of the heroes who died on the battlefield, how many people died in that battle, and then said when it is now, what the court has done, the world is peaceful, and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

Later, it was too much, and I was a little tired, and I didn't bother to understand, so I knelt and listened.

The recitation of the sacrificial text took about half an hour, and the kneeling made people's legs sore.

When it was time to get up, many people almost couldn't get up, Xie Yixiao was afraid that he would fall, so he slowed down his feet before standing up.

After reciting the sacrificial text, someone will burn the sacrificial text on the high platform, and when the sacrificial text is burned, this is His Majesty leading everyone to hold incense and worship, this time there is no need to kneel again, hold incense in his hand, and bow three times to worship it.

After the worship was over, His Majesty led the people down from the high platform, and then it was time for the rest of the people to light incense and plant incense.

First of all, the rest of the royal family, the Guogong Mansion and the Hou Mansion went up first, and twelve people could go up at a time.

It was about another time to wait for another stick of incense (30 minutes) before it was the turn of the Xie family's daughters, Mrs. Xie led Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu to the stage, and handed the incense stick in her hand to the monk who helped light the incense.

After lighting the incense, take it back, and then go to the big ding before holding the incense three times, inserting the incense into the big ding, and then closing the hands three times, the matter is over.

After Mrs. Xie came out, she planned to go to the palace just now to rest for a while, and then go down the mountain to return home.

As soon as the three of them came out, a monk came to invite them: "Mrs. Xie, two Miss Xie, Duchess Rong Guo is invited." ”

Mrs. Xie nodded: "Lead the way." ”

The monk led the three members of the Xie family to a hall, where the Duchess of Rong Guo and the Duchess of Cao Guo were talking.

Seeing that the three of them were coming, Duchess Rong Guo stretched out her hand and beckoned: "Come over here." ”

The three of them stepped forward to salute: "Meet Duchess Rong Guo, meet Duchess Cao Guo." ”

Duchess Rong Guo said: "There are no outsiders, just find a place to sit." ”

Xie Yi smiled and saw that it was Duchess Rongguo's face was a little pale, and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Duchess Guo?" ”

Duchess Rong Guo laughed twice: "It's okay, it's an old problem." ”

Duchess Cao Guo said: "What's okay, she has a leg pain, she was injured back then, and she doesn't worry about it on weekdays, but she has been kneeling for half an hour, can it not hurt?" I always told her not to come, her body was important, but she just didn't listen. ”

If you come, it is obviously inappropriate not to kneel, so you can only not come.

"How can you not come." Duchess Rong Guo waved her hand, "As long as I can walk, I will come." ”

Duchess Cao Guo also probably understands the persistence of Duchess Rong Guo, she was born ten years later than Duchess Rong Guo, and has respect for these soldiers who died in battle, but Duchess Rong Guo is different.

- She fought alongside those people.

Although more than 30 years have passed, she is also nearly 60 years old, and most of her life has already passed.

But this place, as long as she can walk, she wants to come.

"I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me, let's rest and go home."
