Palace scheming: Empress Leng Palace

Chapter 96

Fortunately, at this time, the minister of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to recite a long and eloquent rite prepared by the Ministry of Rites, so that she could not be noticed by everyone. As a queen of a country, she was in such a good mood on such a solemn occasion.


It's just that others don't pay attention, but it doesn't mean that no one pays attention.

Xuanyuan Yi, who had been staring at Yun Qing quietly, saw her smiling eyes at this moment, couldn't help but frowned again, and gave Yun Qing another fierce look.


It also made Yun Qing very baffled, not knowing why he kept staring at him today, as if he had offended him somewhere.

She remembered that since she parted ways with him that night, she never offended him again!Could it be that he said a few more casual words about himself that time, and he has held grudges to this day?

"The ceremony is over! All the courtiers, please kowtow and kneel down to worship your ancestors!" After reciting the words, Mr. Zhang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, made a plop and knelt down first, and all the people behind him also knelt down after hearing the sound.


"The empress, please bow down and pay homage to the ancestors!" Master Yao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, walked out of the crowd, holding an ink book in his hand, stepped forward and stood beside the empress, bowed first, and then recited the sacrificial words: "Tai Chi is impermanent!" , Gossip Wanduan, Sanhuang Wudi, Wende Wuchang, multiplication from generation to generation, Qi family ruled the country, Bingzhang in the Qing Dynasty, smashing stones and destroying tripods... ".


Chang Le and Ling Ge respectively lit a stick of incense and handed it to Xuanyuan Ze and Yun Qing's hands, and the two of them stepped forward and inserted it into the treasure tripod.

Then the emperor and the empress bowed deeply to the altar at the same time, and some sacrificial eunuchs scattered paper money all over the sky, and the breeze picked up, and all the yellow and white things in the sky were flying with the wind.

Accompanied by the complicated sacrificial words, in the unique atmosphere at this time, it makes people feel melancholy.


"The ancestors were brave, unparalleled on the battlefield, loved the people and protected the country, and for my holy emperor, he took the right way and governed the country well..." Lord Yao recited aloud with a heavy voice. Surrounded by the mausoleum...

Looking at the endless ancestral tombs of the imperial mausoleum in the distant mountains, Yun Qing felt a sad mood spontaneously.


Throughout the ages, how many emperors and generals have spent their entire lives in military affairs, galloping on the battlefield, in order to protect their families and the country, expand the reins and expand the land.How many people know the scenery and bitterness in it?

Only that short-lived glory is listed as a record for future generations, but after a hundred years, only this loess is left, and it is finally buried under the imperial tomb.

Alas, it is March day in the world, and when Qingming sacrifices, it is no wonder that people in the world put filial piety first, and never forget the ancestral system throughout their lives.


"... Worshiping the ancestors from generation to generation, everyone is respectful, the same roots, the whole country is glorious!" After a long while, Lord Yao finished reading, then knelt down in front of the emperor's mausoleum, and, like everyone behind him, silently worshiped the ancestors.

There was a burst of soft singing from the sacrificial team, accompanied by the unique sound of beating instruments and objects, and all the palace people threw yellow and white sail coins at the same time, making the world suddenly chaotic.


"The ancestors are above, and the descendants of the Xuanyuan clan—Emperor Ze, pay homage to the ancestors! I pray for the ancestors to bless my heaven and the people for generations to prosper!".

"The ancestors are above, and the daughter-in-law Yun's family in the next life——Yunqing pays homage to the ancestors! I pray for the ancestors to bless my heaven and the people for generations to prosper!".


Xuanyuan Ze and Yun Qing respectively picked up the wine on the altar, bowed to the imperial mausoleum from a distance, and then spilled the wine on the ground.

Then, during a while of chanting sutras and paying homage to the Buddha, Xuanyuanze took out the brocade scroll prepared by Yun Qing from his sleeve, and began to recite the sacrificial words: "Heaven and earth are mysterious and yellow, the prosperous age is young, the ancestor of civilization, and the torch is passed on from generation to generation. Peace in the world, together Prosperity, harmony with the common people, peace and prosperity of the country..."


Yun Qing raised her eyes, and couldn't help but look at Xuanyuan Ze next to her in doubt, but saw that he was handsome and focused.

Just can't figure it out, but he heard his voice sinking, and continued: "Swallow shadows fly obliquely, flowers are red and willows are green, spring breeze is turbulent, and the sequence belongs to three springs. Where is the clear and bright? The waves are like weeping, the rain is like drizzle, and the clear and bright one is so far away." Song. At this season, where the soul is broken, the candle paper smokes, and the sorrow bursts, endlessly... ".


As soon as this sacrificial speech came out, everyone below was moved. One was the occasion, and the other was this year’s sacrificial speech. It is so poetic and picturesque but it makes people feel a lot of emotions.

It's not that everyone disrespects their ancestors, it's just that everyone has long been tired of listening to the boring and long sacrificial speeches that made people almost hear the cocoon.


Listening to the beginning of the chapter may still feel a little heavy, but if you continue, there are not many people who can listen to it except for those old-fashioned people.

But this year the emperor's sacrificial speech was different from previous years, and the taste was so fresh that people couldn't help but feel refreshed. They all pricked up their ears and listened carefully to the emperor's sacrificial speech.


Yun Qing frowned, and realized that Xuanyuan Ze's chanting had changed back to his own sacrificial speech. Could it be that he added it impromptuly just now?

If so, then his talent really surpassed his imagination, no wonder he only said the word Shang Ke in his sacrificial speech.


"Thoughts are like smoke, entering the sky, the gods are ancient, and the mind is too empty. Thousands of years of meritorious deeds, abundant achievements and shining tubes, the mighty and powerful universe, only with the infinite sky and the earth, coexisting with the sun and the moon. The fate of life is only a few The joys and sorrows of the human director; the dream of the peach blossom land, only to fall in the drunkenness of the literati... Which one is a sacrificial article, it should be a love sacrifice. Because all living beings are mostly obsessed; in the world, there is always one love. Great love is for the country. People; small love, persistent mind. Why don't you borrow wine and sprinkle it on the flowers and trees in front of the grave, and settle countless grievances... ".


Following Xuanyuan Ze's recitation, all the ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the academicians of the Hanlin Academy pricked up their ears, surprised at the emperor's astonishing sacrificial speech this year.

It is really sincere and elegant, it is clearly a sacrificial speech that touches all living beings, but it also has a poetic charm that makes people unable to extricate themselves, many people were fascinated by it for a while.


The more he read, the deeper Xuanyuanze's handsome eyes became. Before he just took a rough look and didn't want to read carefully, but every word and sentence was full of calm and elegant charm, which made people want to stop.

At this moment, the shock in his heart was almost the same as that of the people kneeling below, but among the people below, they knew that Yun Qing did not do much.If you know it, I am afraid that someone has already exclaimed at this time.
