Princess Consort of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 89
The ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven came as scheduled, and from Emperor Gaozong up, Wu Zetian demanded the same sacrifice, creating a precedent for emperors and empresses to sacrifice to heaven together.However, Wu Zetian is still thinking of the old love, and has not set up another honor in the harem, so today, Wu Zetian is still the priest.

Sacrificial offerings, especially offering sacrifices to heaven, are very particular.Emperor Gaozong only offered sacrifices to heaven and enshrined Zen after he had repeatedly expanded his territory and won battles.Wu Zetian's main achievement after ascending the throne was to evaluate the administration of officials, but many ministers in the court urged the system of imperial examinations to be beneficial for thousands of years, and the administration of officials was clear and bright, so that they could worship the heavens, so this grand ceremony came.

The sacrificial etiquette is heavy, mainly to express the emperor's will to obey the destiny and the people's heart.It also needs to be divided into three sacrifices, and different people will send third-class sacrifices, representing the meaning of the emperor, officials, and dawn.

During the reign of Emperor Gaozong, Gaozong made the first sacrifice, Empress Wu made the second sacrifice, and the crown prince finally sacrificed.

It's just that Wu Lun's series of actions made Wu Zetian deeply disgusted. Ya Xian, who was supposed to be the heir of the emperor, was replaced by Prime Minister Wu Sansi, and the final offering did not fall on Wu Lun's head, and became Wu Chengsi.

Forget it, I was left out in the cold.

Wu Lun felt like sitting on pins and needles at the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, fearing that Emperor Wu would not remember the love between mother and child, and his name would be in danger.

Di Renjie, Liu Rengui and others tried to dissuade him repeatedly, but they could not shake Emperor Wu's determination.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, whether Emperor Wu had the intention of changing the Wu family to be the heir of the emperor, and every sentence pierced his heart, beating the former emperor.

It was Wu Zetian's encouragement that ignited the fire of hope in Wu Chengsi's heart.Wu Sansi was quite calm, and with Shangguan Wan'er's suggestion, he didn't have many thoughts in his mind.

Shangguan Wan'er accepted Shen Sanwen's invitation to introduce a friend from Piandian, and left quietly. She somewhat understood in her heart what the purpose of this meeting was, and out of curiosity, she still planned to meet.

Zhang Yang had been waiting for a long time, but when he saw the visitor, he was still astonished, with a beautiful face, a lively look, and steady steps.

Seeing this man's firm face, star eyebrows and sharp eyes, Zhang Yang has a lot of vigor.

Zhang Yang: "You are Shangguan Wan'er?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "Yes, who is your Excellency?"

Zhang Yang: "My lord, Zhang Yang, is Shen Consort's best friend."

Shangguan Wan'er: "Why did you make an appointment to meet me?" She is really a close friend, and she is very important to the palace, so she is willing to make some arrangements for him.

Zhang Yang: "I heard that Miss Shangguan is famous, and I admire her very much, so I came here to see you."

Shangguan Wan'er covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's just a false name, I don't know where Mr. Zhang is from?"

Zhang Yang: "I live in a remote place. I don't know what the Shangguan girl's requirements are for choosing a husband?"

so direct?It was difficult for Shangguan Wan'er to continue.

Shangguan Wan'er: "Is this the first time I meet the young master?"

Zhang Yang: "Isn't there a poem saying that life is just like meeting for the first time? The first meeting is the best meeting between two people, isn't it? My impression of Miss Shangguan is very good."

Shangguan Wan'er: "Being at the gate of the palace, I can't help myself. I don't care about choosing a son-in-law. If your majesty likes someone, I will just be assigned there as a plaything of the powerful."

Zhang Yang: "Miss Shangguan, don't underestimate yourself. If it's not intentional, Zhang Yang will never force it, or we can try to understand first."

Shangguan Wan'er: "I don't know what kind of books Mr. Zhang often reads, what kind of talent he has? And how did you get to know Consort Shen?"

Zhang Yang: "I have a classmate friendship with him, but my ambition is in the military, so the two of us may not have seen each other for a long time. Look at my face, it used to be much paler than his, and it was all tanned after going to the military camp for training. As for Reading, but what I read is not the works of famous masters."

Shangguan Wan'er: "I don't know where the army is?" Concubine Shen must have grown up in ethnology, how could he be a classmate with him?

Zhang Yang smiled, "It's just a place where you can practice martial arts and learn the art of war with peace of mind. It's not considered a military camp, it's just a more rigorous academy."

Shangguan Wan'er: "I know a lot of famous academies in Chang'an or other places, but I don't know where Mr. Zhang came from."

Zhang Yang: "It's not normal for me to stay in the academy. I get up early and go to bed late, and I have to do everything myself, but it's hard. Do you want to hear it?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "Young Master Zhang, let's talk about it."

Zhang Yang: "Only sleep for four hours a day. Get up early to train military discipline, and run for half an hour each. Training military discipline, you can only maintain one posture for half a day, until your legs are weak and sweaty, and you dare not move a bit. Then half a day One hour of teaching, half an hour of review, followed by half an hour of weapon training, half an hour of weapon skills training, and one hour of fighting explanation and practical training. After dinner, there will be another hour of understanding And learning the art of war. There is one hour of free time every night, and you can dabble in vocal music, dance and chess. There are two hours left for every half hour of rest and meal time. Except for cooking, everything else has to be done by yourself. Zhongquan is a student, and for three years, he stayed away from his homeland alone, and declined all relatives and friends to visit."

Shangguan Wan'er: "I've never heard of this kind of training method."

Zhang Yang: "How does the academy that Miss Shangguan know trains students?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "It's just getting up early to do some physical work, carrying water and chopping firewood, punching some punches, and reading and calligraphy. Thinking about it, it's not as strict as Mr. Zhang's training."

Zhang Yang: "The training intensity is a bit lower, but you can do something beneficial to the academy. It is a place to train scholars, but not a place to train soldiers."

Shangguan Wan'er felt that Mr. Zhang was extremely talkative, "Mr. Zhang is interested in the army?"

Zhang Yang: "I used to think that mediocrity is a lifetime, and being brave and striving for the first is also a lifetime. Therefore, I set up the ambition to join the army. Men still have to take responsibility for their family and country, protect the motherland, and defend the people."

Shangguan Wan'er felt that he was rather majestic, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think about women?"

Zhang Yang: "If it's an ordinary woman, she will guard a small family and take care of her husband and children. Like Miss Shangguan, I'm afraid she will be able to lead the style of writing for a while, and use wisdom to plan big things in the court. This is why I admire the girl very much. s reason."

Shangguan Wan'er was very happy to hear that, this person has good vision, but she still said modestly, "What the young master said is just hearsay, I am a girl, I dare not have such extravagant hopes."

Zhang Yang: "The times make heroes, but what is the ambition of Miss Shangguan?"

Shangguan Wan'er: "I only wish to assist Your Majesty."

Seeing what she said, Zhang Yang knew that she had no intention of leaving the palace. "If Miss Shangguan has no intention, Zhang will leave now. The green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever. I also hope that the girl will not change her ambition and benefit the common people. There will be a period later."

Shangguan Wan'er gave a little blessing, "Thank you Mr. Zhang for your understanding, we will see you later."

What a wonderful person.
