Chapter 917: One Temple, Two Ancestral Temples, Su Zhenting’s Ambition
The generals worked hard for the imperial court, but the imperial court also took your family as hostages. Who can think of this?
Moreover, the responsibilities and powers of the defender of Yueyang Pass are huge. Once this matter is leaked and someone with an intention knows about it, and some manipulation is done behind the scenes, it will be self-defeating.
Therefore, it makes sense that this matter is listed as the most core secret of the Qin Empire.
But why did Emperor Daxing tell Su Zhenting about such a secret the year before last?
Did he expect that the current situation would inevitably arise, or had he already noticed some of Zhao Xuanji's actions the year before last?
This sudden news made Li Chen's thoughts instantly complicated.
He suddenly had the feeling that so many things had happened since he had been in prison, as if his father, who was lying on the sick bed, had been prepared.
The power of Dongchang, the political marriage of the Su family, and even the secrets given by Su Zhenting now are all magic weapons that can help him save the situation at the most critical moment.
And all of these magic weapons came from the hands of the man who was lying on the hospital bed and had been in a coma for nearly a year.
"Your Highness?"
Su Zhenting's voice interrupted Li Chen's thoughts of drifting to Qianqing Palace.
"I'm distracted."
Li Chen waved his hand and asked, "Where are their family now?"
Su Zhenting had a strange expression and gave two words: "Ancestral Temple."
The Imperial Ancestral Temple is where the royal family worships the ancestors of the past dynasties, as well as the spiritual tablets of sages who have made great contributions to the country, the country, and the country.
It can be said that the Ancestral Temple of any dynasty is an important place for the development history of the entire dynasty and the spiritual inheritance of the royal bloodline.
The Imperial Ancestral Temple of the Qin Empire is located on the east side outside the Meridian Gate.
The front, middle and back halls are separated by triple walls. All buildings have yellow glazed tile roofs and red walls.
The entire Ancestral Temple is solemn and solemn, silently reflecting the immortal heritage of a country that has endured more than 360 years of ups and downs.
Li Chen was dressed in regular clothes and only brought Su Zhenting to the Ancestral Temple.
Enter through the door on the right, cross the Yudai River from the single-hole white marble bridge, and look up at the main front hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, which is built on a white marble Xumi pedestal.
"Father, it's really a clever plan. No one would have thought of placing people here."
Li Chen said with emotion, and then said: "You are here, let's go and pay homage to our ancestors first."
With that said, Li Chen stepped into the Ancestral Temple.
In the front hall of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, a total of seventeen emperors of the Qin Empire are enshrined starting from Taizu to the late Emperor.
The average life expectancy of people in ancient times was not long, sixty was considered an advanced age, and the emperor was always a hard and risky profession, so throughout the dynasties, emperors mostly had short lives.
There are only a handful of emperors who can live beyond the age of sixty.
For example, when the inheritance of the previous dynasty ended for more than 400 years, there were more than 40 emperors.
Therefore, as far as Guo Zuo, who has been in the Qin Empire for more than 360 years, has only reached the Seventeenth Emperor, he is already considered to have a rare longevity.
On average, each emperor reigned for an exaggerated twenty-one years.
Not everyone is eligible to go in to pay homage to the late emperor and ancestors. Even Su Zhenting only has to wait outside the door.
Looking at Li Chen's back as he entered, Su Zhenting turned his head and glanced at a large hall not far away, where ministers of the Qin Empire who had made great contributions to the country and the country were enshrined. They were able to enjoy the Ancestral Temple, which was the highest honor for ministers.
And his father, the military god of the Qin Empire, had his spiritual tablet inside.
His goal is to have a place in the Ancestral Temple after death and enjoy the incense and worship of the Qin Empire forever.
One temple with two temples was an unprecedented honor for the entire Qin Empire.
