My Chinese ancestors

Chapter 315 The Joy of Life
Su Chen walked through the mottled shadows cast by the towering trees in the palace. The former Yan Palace has now become the Xia Palace, but the names of each palace have not changed. He brought Dian Wei and Xu Chu to the ancestral temple by familiar means.

After ascending the throne and becoming an emperor, you cannot forget your roots. It is necessary to come and offer a stick of incense to all the ancestors.

Along the way, the eunuchs, maids, and guards among the surrounding flowerbeds, pavilions, and corridors stopped and knelt down toward the new emperor.

"stand up!"

Su Chen walked past them, uttered two words softly, and went straight to the front of the ancestral temple. Several young eunuchs were cleaning the courtyard. They could not see the Chinese emperors in their spiritual tablets wandering around them. Hearing the movement, he looked up and saw Su Chen coming. , put down the broom and knelt on the ground.

Su Chen clasped his hands behind his back and nodded to Li Shimin and Zhu Di who were wandering outside, and walked into the ancestral temple. Wu Zixun, who was following closely, knew he couldn't enter, so he turned around and waved to the young eunuchs.

"I'll clean up later, let's go first." After saying that, he glanced at Dian Wei and Xu Chu, stood aside them wisely, and put his hands on his hips in an air of dignity.

Immediately, he saw Li Xuanba in the courtyard over there, holding a pen like an old bear and writing at his desk. Wu Zixun couldn't help but curl his lips: "He used to be a guard with the two generals Dian and Xu, but now he can lead his own troops. Your Majesty is a little biased."

"I have a second brother who teaches me." Dian Wei glanced at him and said, "You have something special."

Above their heads, dappled sunlight fell on the door plaque and swayed. The name of the ancestral temple had been changed at this time, and it was written as "Chinese Ancestral Hall"

In the temple, Su Chen took the incense stick from Taoist Li, waved his robe and asked him to go out and wait. Then, he looked solemnly at the statue above, offered incense and knelt down.

"Su Chen, the descendant of the future generation, has been blessed by all his ancestors, and now he has established the order of the world and inherited the throne of the emperor."

Above, a variety of voices sounded from a spiritual statue at the same time. They all asked Su Chen: "You are an insult to the word emperor!"

"no!"

"Are you arrogant?"

"no!"

"Can rewards and punishments be uneven?"

"no!"

"Are you complacent?"

"no!"

"Can you ignore human ethics?"

"No!"

Su Chen answered and couldn't help but said: "Your majesties, I am now an emperor, can you please stop asking..."

"Hey, Changsheng has started to make requests!" Zhu Yuanzhang's spirit laughed loudly, "Everyone, stop asking."

"How does it feel to be the emperor?" Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty walked out of the green smoke, flicked his wide sleeves and walked past Su Chen. He looked outside, raised his face and took a deep breath. "When I succeeded to the throne, my heart was full of excitement. It's time to show off. Fighting with the Xiongnu with fists and kicks, I felt that Queen Mother Dou was suppressing me, but it was fortunate that she was suppressing me, which gave me my indomitable heart. Is there a 'Queen Mother Dou' who is suppressing you by your side, Changsheng?"

"Your Majesty, it's not all Empress Dowager Dou. For example, Empress Ma beside Ming Taizu is also pretty good." Su Chen finished with a slight smile, which made Zhu Yuanzhang very happy, "Look, everyone praises our eldest sister. I guess Among all the emperors, only Li Shimin and I want to get the queen back."

"Tch!" Han Gaozu's spiritual position was tilted to the side, "Don't make fun of me every time!"

At this time, Zhu Di came over, or floated over. He was lying in the air, holding his head with one hand and floating to Su Chen's side. "Next, how does Chang Sheng plan to govern the country? Or continue to fight? Do you want us ancestors? Can I impart some experience to you?"

“Govern the country first!”

Su Chen talked about his predicament in the North, and that the Central Plains had not yet completely surrendered. Fighting with the Four Nations would bring down a lot of things. As for the experience of his ancestors, he nodded and shook his head, which made Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and the others Somewhat confused.

"We're just going to bother you with this unhappiness!" Zhu Yuanzhang's body jumped over, "What do you want to say?"

Zhao Kuangyin's spirit body bent forward with great effort, expressing his agreement.

"You can't see it. I want to try immortality on my own." Wu Zetian was a thoughtful empress after all. She could guess the general idea just by looking at Su Chen's expression, "After all, when you become the emperor, you rely too much on our ancestors, right? It’s not good for itself.”

Su Chen nodded, it was clear that Queen Wu Zetian's words had hit his mind.

"But if it can't be solved, I'll ask your Majesty again. If I keep relying on you all, I'm afraid I will really become an Adou who can't afford it."

"Hey, hey!" Liu Chan's body shook, "I just came up to take a breath of incense, and now that I'm listening to your words, can you save some face?"

Uh……

As soon as he said this, the person involved heard him. Su Chen felt a little embarrassed and didn't know how to speak. He quickly turned around and said, "Today at the Zen teaching platform, I felt the First Emperor. Why...there was no movement again?" ,

He raised his gaze to look at the spiritual statue above.

"Maybe some feelings came out. As for the lack of reaction..." Li Shimin came in from the outside, "Maybe the immortality is not enough to impress him."

The threshold is really high. If the First Emperor is unlocked, I don’t know if the other party is willing to come out.

"By the way, what are your plans for the grassland?" Zhu Di suddenly asked.

"Set up a Zhenfu Department similar to His Majesty's Ming Dynasty."

Hearing Su Chen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang was a little unhappy, "When did my fourth child become the Ming Dynasty? Think of us as dead!" "Are you still alive?" Zhao Kuangyin chuckled.

Amidst the laughter of the emperors, Zhu Di told Su Chen some things about setting up a town and Fusi, and what needs to be paid attention to to avoid rebellion by the barbarians.

After listening for a while, Li Longji asked about Yang Yuhuan's current situation. He left the ancestral temple, then turned around and bowed his hands to the emperors who came to the door. Then he left the palace with Dianwei, Xu Chu, and Wu Zixun and returned to Prince Xia's Mansion.

After staying here for one night, we will move to the palace.

When they returned to the mansion, the family members had been waiting and walking back and forth in the hall. When the steward said that Su Chen was back, they rushed out of the hall one after another. They saw that all the soldiers and servants in the mansion were kneeling on the ground.

The Su family was also a little scared at this time. When they were kings before, Su Chen wouldn't let them bow, but it was different now. After hesitating again and again, he knelt down on the ground. Only Su Congfang and Xiao Wei could stand in front. Su Yong, Su Lie stood behind the two elders, and Yin Suhuan and Hua Hongzhen both knelt down.

Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan were short and blessed, while Li Wangqiu knelt down beside the others.

"Father, mother!"

As for calling him "Father Emperor" or "Mother Queen", Su Chen would definitely not be able to say it out loud, and since he was at home, the original titles were more comfortable. As for the future... he would have to wait until he gets used to the status of emperor.

After the ceremony, Su Chen was surrounded by his family and entered the central hall. Several relatives sat in the lower seats. Su Congfang originally wanted to give up the first place to Su Chen, but Su Chen pushed her back and asked her mother to sit in the first place.

"No matter how much your son is an emperor, your filial piety cannot be abolished!" Su Chen stood in front of the two elders and bowed his hands.

"well!"

Su Congfang was so happy that he didn't know what to call his son when he met him in the future. He just laughed out loud when Xiao Wei glared back at him.

The old woman sat on the chair with a serious expression: "Chen'er, you are the emperor now, and the emperor must have the majesty of the emperor. When there are no outsiders, you can do whatever you want, but when there are outsiders, you can call them whatever you want. You have so many proud soldiers and generals, how can you keep them in awe without dignity!"

"Thank you mother for your teaching!"

Su Chen cupped his hands, and his second brother Su Lie came up to him: "Your Majesty, how does it feel to be the emperor?"

Su Yong, Su Ting, Yin Suhuan, and Hua Hongzhen also pricked up their ears curiously.

"Haha!" Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of everyone in the family, Su Chen couldn't help but laugh. There were no outsiders here. He waved his sleeves and dragged himself to the front seat on the right, dragging his gorgeous imperial uniform with black background and white dragon pattern. , stepping on the ground.

"It's no different from when I was King of Xia. You still have to kneel when you should. The title has just changed. By the way, the tiger-skin chair has been replaced by the dragon chair above."

Everyone could tell from these approachable words that they meant closeness. Everyone in the back hall could be said to be members of the royal family of Daxia.

Here, Su Chen raised troops to ascend to the throne of Xia King. They all contributed a lot, and many people died in the family. They enjoyed the treatment of the clan, and outsiders would not complain.

In the following time, Su Chen accepted the visit of his family, especially the few talented relatives who came with him. Su Chen also took the exams one by one. Their abilities were not very outstanding. After that, he asked them to follow Guo Jia and Li Bai, or wait. After Xun Yu went north to Yanjing, he followed him to work.

Night fell.

The stars and moon rose in the sky, and thousands of lights were laid out in Yanjing City.

Late at night, Su Chen was slightly drunk and was helped back to the backyard by Fang Xuejun and Yang Yuhuan. It was Dian Wei and Xu Chu who originally helped, but the two big men's arms were as big as pillars, so they asked the two women to help Su Chen and ran away. .

In such an atmosphere that the Su family has become a royal family, some of the Su family in Prince Xia's palace were joking, some were playing, and they were so excited that they could hardly fall asleep. Some of them gathered in the room to talk about the future, and some were assigned errands by Su Chen. The man clenched his fists excitedly, wanting to do something big.

For a while, everyone was drinking and laughing in the front hall, which was even more lively than celebrating a solar term.

In the backyard and in the bedroom, a warm yellow light was lit by Yang Yuhuan. Fang Xuejun, wearing a graceful skirt, put Su Chen on the bed because she had difficulty walking.

Yang Yuhuan looked at the young couple, smiled and retreated, closing the door softly.

Fang Xuejun rolled up his sleeves and twisted a warm towel to wipe the drunken Su Chen on the bed. Su Chen suddenly opened his eyes and smiled at her.

"Your Majesty, you are not drunk..."

"Pretend, otherwise Xu Chu and Dian Wei will knock you down!"

After saying that, Su Chen grabbed Fang Xuejun's hand and dragged her onto the bed. The woman struggled and hurriedly lowered the bed curtain. Her voice sounded a little panicked inside the bed curtain.

"Wait... Your Majesty, don't be impatient... Hey..."

"The candles haven't been blown out yet..."

On the roof, a tile suddenly opened, revealing a delicate face, and said anxiously to the room: "I'm so worried, I'll help you blow it!"

After saying that, Hong Lip blew out the candlestick on the table.

Inside the swaying bed curtain, Fang Xuejun poked out his messy head and shouted angrily to the roof: "Senior Sister!!" There was the sound of tiles being stepped on, and Li Wangqiu blushed and smiled. Run away.

In the room, just after Fang Xuejun finished shouting, Su Chen pulled her into the tent again.

Faint sounds resounded in the bedroom, and Xu Chu and Dian Wei led guards to guard the surroundings, as if they were isolated from the rest of the world.
