The sacrifice is laid on the first day of February, and the next day is also the day when the dragon raises its head in folklore.?
?b?i?q u?As for the ancient memorial ceremonies, Zhao Bing had only seen them on TV in the past. Most of them were imagined by the directors, and even the order and placement of the sacrifices were often wrong. Of course he did not
Don't dare to interfere in the arrangement without permission.
The people in Prince Wei's palace are either clay-legged warriors, or warriors who dance with spears and sticks, and none of them are familiar with court rituals. Fortunately, there are many rural tycoons among them.
The rules of the sacrifice were clear, so Zhao Bing left everything to them. He didn't care what happened, he just wanted to create momentum. With the prince's instructions, of course everyone would not let him down, and everything would be done according to the instructions of the prince.
Made to the highest specification they know how.
The festival has arrived, and God seems to be very cooperative. The sky is gloomy, the cold wind is howling, and the mourning flags are flying, which adds to the desolation. Coupled with the sobbing of the suona, thousands of people wearing mourning clothes and sad faces, it makes people feel sad.
I feel sad. The densely packed dozens of spiritual tablets in the sacrificial hall are even more frightening. Those with titles, titles and fame are naturally placed in the front row. Behind them are the volunteers, officers and soldiers, but there are more people.
It is difficult to verify the names and surnames, so we can only use "the position of the 210 ancestors of the same generation", "the position of the 351 ancestors of the Lin family", and "the position of the 423 ancestors of the Ni family"
', Huang, Zhuang and other martyrs were sacrificed together.
"Your Highness, there is a large group of people coming this way. It looks like they are coming with bad intentions. Shall we intercept them?" Today is a formal day and dinner was served early. Everyone was getting familiar with the process of the ceremony with the prince to avoid making mistakes and embarrassment. Zhao Mengjin suddenly barged in.
The report said that because today we are paying homage to the martyred officers and soldiers of Quanzhou, the task of maintaining order and doing chores fell on the people who got off the epidemic ship. It was normal if there were people coming to watch the fun, but when there were seven or eight hundred people here,
Problem.
"Who is causing trouble at this time? I'll beat them away!" It's a big taboo if someone makes trouble during a funeral at home. Cai Wanyi got angry when he heard it and stood up and said angrily.???
?w?．
?
"Wait a minute, don't be rash, let's find out the intention of the person who came here." Zhao Bing frowned and said. He was also very puzzled. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner to beat a dog, but he is also a prince. Anyone with a discerning eye can see this.
He caused this festival, and he was the one who protected this group of people, but there are still people who dare to make trouble. They are either tired of living, or someone is instigating it. Now it seems that the latter is more likely, but those who dare to instigate people to come and make trouble
It's definitely not a good thing. He can't deal with it carelessly and don't let others take advantage of him.
"Your Highness, I will go take a look first!" Zheng Huchen stood up and saluted.
"Well, today is a big day. Try your best to persuade them with nice words, but they insist on making trouble, so let's not be afraid!" Zhao Bing looked at Zheng Huchen and said, he had deliberately grown a beard these days, and his face was tanned by the sea, making him look...
He is much older, and even people who are familiar with him may not be able to tell that, but he is calm and thoughtful, so it is appropriate for him to deal with it now.
"Your Highness, I'll go too!" Ni Liang also stood up and said.
"You...forget it!" Zhao Bing thought for a while and refused. This child is easy to be impulsive and has heavy hands. He will cause trouble even if he has nothing to do. "General Zhao gathered his people and prepared, if someone else comes to knock on the door.
Come on, we can't let others bully us. If we are beaten, we will be beaten hard!" He turned to Zhao Mengjin and told Zhao Mengjin.
"Yes!" Zhao Mengjin and Zheng Huchen followed the instructions separately, and everyone in the hall secretly gave a thumbs up. This kid has courage, and in these troubled times, people who dare to do it are needed, unlike some people in the court, Tatars
They have occupied the capital, and the emperor has been kidnapped. He is still thinking about negotiating peace with them. There will be a future in working with His Highness, and at least he will not be bullied again...
Just as everyone was actively preparing for war and preparing to severely punish those who dared to cause trouble, what happened next made them extremely embarrassed.
b? It turned out that the people who came this time were not looking for trouble, but the Quanzhou volunteers who escorted His Majesty to break out during the Quanzhou Incident. When they heard that His Royal Highness King Wei was going to hold a memorial ceremony, they also wore sackcloth, wore mourning, and martyred themselves.
The person's spiritual tablet arrived. Zhao Bing also felt relieved. He did not want to have a head-on conflict with the big shots in the court. This would be the best outcome.
As a result, the number of people paying tribute increased a lot, and it took a while to arrange the new arrivals, and then rearranged the mourning hall. When everyone was getting dressed and ready to start, Zhao Mengjin hurried in and reported that the left prime minister Chen Yizhong had brought people.
, asked His Highness to lead everyone outside to receive the order. Zhao Bing felt a little bit in his heart after hearing this. Liu Fu left and never came back. He didn't know if he had trapped him, and Chen Yizhong was an old man. He would have had some contact with him.
I almost got him killed. Today I came to him with the imperial edict and I didn't know what was going to happen.
"King Wei listens!"
"I accept the order!" We were doing things now, and there was no shortage of incense and candles. When Zhao Bing went out accompanied by everyone, everything was ready. He looked at Chen Yizhong who was standing in front of him holding the imperial edict. Although this guy said
When you reach middle age, your appearance can be considered clear, but why is your heart so evil? He knelt down and cursed.
"Wang Bing of Wei is of noble character and values ​​benevolence and righteousness. He was granted the title of Jiedu Envoy of Quanzhou and was granted the title of an eunuch for thousands of households!" Chen Yizhong unfolded the imperial edict and read it loudly.
"I accept the decree and thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Zhao Bing knelt to thank him, but his heart was filled with panic. Quanzhou had long fallen into the hands of the enemy, and the fiefdom had also been lost. It was better to give him some gold and silver.
benefits.
"The Holy One suffered a calamity in Quanzhou, and was protected by soldiers and civilians, but fortunately escaped with his life. The martyred Jinshi Lin Sheng, Cai Fusi, Cai Jing, Pan Hong and others were posthumously awarded the title of Zhengfeng Dafu, and two descendants of Yin; the Wu Jinshi Ni Guozhong was posthumously awarded the title of Zhongwu
Generals, Ni Tong, who was promoted to martial arts, was appointed as the general of cavalry, Ke Xuanwu, the son of Wu Chu, was appointed as the captain of Zhaowu, and his descendants were Yinji. Huang Keji, the general of Quanzhou, was posthumously appointed as general of Dingyuan. The team officer Zeng Zhu was appointed, and Zhou Zhong was appointed as the captain of Zhenwei."
After the sacrifices were made, the surviving Quanzhou officers Cai Wanyi, Liu Zhixue, Liu Shuzhi, Liu Zhu, Liu Wenjun, etc., Ni Liang, Zhang Zizhen, Dong Yicheng, Chen Fenglin, Wu Shiying, etc. were added to rescue the Queen Mother and the two kings and other surviving heroes.
More than a hundred people were awarded honorary titles. What surprised Zhao Bing was that Zhao Mengjin, whose pseudonym was Zhao Da, and Zheng Huchen, whose pseudonym was Zheng Hu, were also among them. Some rewards were given to those who were alive, and double pensions were given to the officers and soldiers who died, and even more martyrs were given voluntary sacrifices.
They were only awarded the title of righteous man posthumously and were given some pensions, but most of their families died in the turmoil or could not be traced, so the reward became a blank check.
"Thank you for your hard work, Prime Minister Chen. Please come to the hall for a cup of tea. The ceremony will begin in a short time!" After the announcement, the edict had to be added to the spiritual tablets and rewritten with titles, so the start of the ceremony had to be postponed. Zhao Bing
Although I had some issues with Chen Yizhong, I also knew that the two sides had not yet broken up. Besides, he was here to announce the decree on behalf of the emperor and the imperial court. I could not conflict with him at this juncture, so I had to be polite and said with cupped hands.
.
"Your Highness, you're welcome. I'm busy with official business and can't stay long. I'll come and say hello when I have time." Chen Yizhong looked up and down at King Wei, who was only as tall as his own waist, and returned the greeting with his hands. However, he felt very uneasy and even a little blocked in his heart, and he had no intention of doing so.
Participating in this low-level so-called festival and coming to announce the decree is just a last resort.
"In this case, I am in such a mess here that I won't leave any traces. I will come back to say thank you someday." Zhao Bing also saw that Chen Yizhong was a little embarrassed. He knew that Chen Yizhong had something in his heart and was afraid that he would be held accountable. If anything happened, he would be punished as a child.
People say he is "naughty and willful", but if he admits it, he will be guilty of the crime; if he doesn't admit it, he will have to argue with himself, but if he is serious with a child, he will lose no matter whether he wins or loses, so he is eager to get out now.
"Well, if His Highness comes to his humble abode, I will welcome him!" Chen Yizhong bowed his head and saluted. At this moment, he was just like Zhao Bing thought. He almost killed him because of his personal grudges a few days ago. Ordinarily, ordinary children would definitely turn to him after escaping danger.
The adults were crying and writhing with themselves, but the child in front of him did not do so, as if the matter had never happened. This made him feel relieved and at the same time felt even more uneasy, because His Highness's face was so calm and calm.
It was so heart-stopping that he just wanted to leave quickly.
"Okay, please, Mr. Chen!" Zhao Bing bowed and said, without getting up to see him off. According to the rules of the Song Dynasty, the prince's title was the highest, but he had no position or power, and his status was far inferior to that of the prime minister of the dynasty.
He had to stand behind the prime minister even during the schedule. It was considered rude for him to do so. But this was not something that Zhao Bing, who had just traveled through time, did not understand, but he wanted to express his attitude and tell him that he had not forgotten the grudge he had committed the day before...
The promulgation of the edict showed the attitude of the royal family and the court, and officials naturally did not dare to neglect it. Especially those officials who experienced the Quanzhou Incident either came in person or sent people to pay homage, and many people came to join in the fun.
As a result, the scene was many times bigger than Zhao Bing had imagined, which made everyone in Prince Wei's palace panic, and the ceremony was noisy. Fortunately, everyone knew that Prince Wei was young, and now it was a time of war and chaos, so it was a mess.
No one said much.
The most pitiable person was Zhao Bing. After everyone came to pay homage, they would go to the hall to say hello to him. People came one after another and said polite words over and over again. It was not until the ceremony started that it came to an end.
The sacrifices were shouted, and amid the deafening wails, the sacrificers carried roasted cattle, roasted pigs, fruits, etc. as offerings in front of the soul. At this time, Zhao Bing's head was already three times as big under the "repeated bombardment". Fortunately, he
With the highest status, he was not required to do many things. Under the guidance of everyone, he completed rituals such as washing his hands, offering incense and wine, reading ritual texts, offering treasures, silks, and burning treasures.
Due to the large number of people and repeated incidents, the ceremony lasted until noon. Hearing the mourning outside, Zhao Bing, who was sitting in the hall to rest, thought that the memorial ceremony was finally completed successfully and the goal was basically achieved. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Chapter completed!
