After traveling through time, I took command and led the troops to conquer the mountains and rivers.

Chapter 67 Sacrifice
Yu Jia was bored in the general's mansion. She lay on the couch and fanned the cattail leaf fan to enjoy the coolness.

The food and clothing in the General's Mansion are much better than in the military camp, and you can even eat iced watermelon from time to time in the hot summer.

But her stomach was suffering, and it was coming fiercely. She put down her cattail leaf fan and ran to the latrine.

Fortunately, the latrine in the General's Mansion is a house. As long as the door bolt is fastened inside, it can be released safely.

After the filth in her belly was eliminated, she suddenly felt comfortable. She picked up her pants and walked out.

The latrine was in a hidden part of the courtyard. As soon as she turned around, she ran into someone.

Yu Jia didn't even raise her head and hurriedly admitted her mistake.

"You're so blind that you dare to hit the princess's ice bowl!"

Hearing this, Yu Jia looked up and saw that it was Li Yuanyuan's personal maid Lian'er.

In recent days, Li Yuanyuan would come to the General's Mansion from time to time, so Yu Jia got to know the maid next to her.

"Sister Lian'er, I'm so sorry. I really didn't see it. I'm sorry for you!"

Lian'er rolled her eyes, "Isn't it all about compensation? If you knock over the princess's ice bowl, you won't even be able to afford the compensation for the lives of eight dogs!"

Yu Jia looked at Lian'er, who was fighting against others, and became upset.

"Isn't this unreasonable? Sister Lian'er must be merciful and merciful!"

Lian'er was not happy about it now. She placed the ice bowl on the stone table, put one hand on her hips and was about to slap Yu Jia in the face with the other.

"You're a bitch slave, and you've learned to talk back!"

Yu Jia dodged her paw and retorted: "Don't talk about dogs, dogs are not as good as you!"

"What did you say?" Lian'er looked in disbelief. She didn't expect Yu Jia to refute her.

She was a first-class maid next to the princess, and the housekeepers in the general's mansion were all polite to her, but this unattractive boy in front of her actually spoke rudely.

"I said you are worse than a dog!"

Yu Jia followed her example and put her hands on her hips. She had never been afraid of anyone in a fight, let alone a quarrel.

"You're such a arrogant person. I'm afraid the princess doesn't know that you are so arrogant outside under her banner, right?"

"Princess, my family has golden branches and jade leaves, the beauty of the country is fragrant, and the people are kind and kind. How can I have a maid like you?"

"You!" Lian'er's face turned red, "You are such a pretty boy with sinister features and squinty eyes, you will turn off people's appetite just to see you!"

"Then don't look at it! Who begged you to look at it?" Yu Jia looked at her leisurely.

Is this the level of a first-class maid of a dignified princess?

"Aunt Lian'er, if you don't send the ice bowl to the princess, she will really melt!"

After saying that, Yu Jia walked away regardless of how Lian'er yelled and cursed behind her back.

Lian'er would not let her go like this.

Li Yanzhao and Li Yuanyuan were playing chess in the pavilion when they saw Lian'er staggering over.

With a "pop" sound, he knelt on the ground.

"Princess, you have to make the decision for Lian'er!"

Lian'er cried so hard that she looked so pitiful.

"What's wrong? Why did you start crying when I asked you to get an ice bowl!"

"Princess, this slave was passing by the backyard to get an ice bowl, and he met a boy. He almost knocked the slave to the ground."

"I said something to him, and he actually yelled at the slave!"

"What?" Li Yuanyuan stopped what she was doing and looked at Lian'er who was kneeling on the ground.

"Get up and answer!"

"Who is so bold and dares to find trouble with you?"

Wouldn't that slap her in the face?

Then she said to Li Yanzhao: "Brother Emperor, you see you haven't come back for a long time, how dare the servant in your house be so presumptuous!"

Li Yanzhao glanced at Li Yuanyuan with a half-smile and asked Lian'er beside him. "Is this happening?"

Lian'er was a little flustered for a moment and said bravely: "Go back to the general, this is indeed the case!"

Just as Yu Jia was about to fall asleep, she was called to the pavilion by the housekeeper. When she saw the proud Lian'er beside her, she understood.

"Young man, pay homage to the general, and pay homage to the princess!"

Before Li Yanzhao could speak, Li Yuanyuan stood up and said, "Is this Lian'er you scolded?"

Yu Jia raised her head with a surprised look on her face, "Sister Lian'er called me a dog. I said she was worse than a dog. How could I be calling her?"

"Isn't this a scolding?" Lian'er said angrily, "Princess, you have to make the decision for me!"

"The little one is really unjust. It's not okay for Sister Lian'er to call the little one a dog. I only said that she is worse than a dog, and that's why I scolded her?"

"If being associated with a dog is indeed a curse, I would also say that she is relying on the power of a dog!"

A trace of anger flashed in Li Yuanyuan's eyes, "What do you mean by this?"

Then he pouted at Li Yanzhao with an aggrieved look, "Third brother, look at how your subordinates can be so vulgar!"

"Lin Erzhu, you said I'm not even as good as a dog. How can I get involved with the princess?"

Li Yanzhao tried hard to hold back his laughter, but couldn't help it anymore, so he made a fist and put it to his lips.

"Oh, general, princess, what I said is that the princess has a beautiful family, a beautiful country, and a kind-hearted person. How can there be a maid like her who is so greedy for power?"

Yu Jia spoke quickly and urgently. Li Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but feel proud.

Li Yanzhao finally laughed out loud when he saw her expression.

"Look, people are praising you. What's wrong with that?"

Seeing that her princess was still proud of herself, Lian'er pulled off the corner of her clothes and said, "Princess!"

Li Yuanyuan restrained her dark colors and looked serious, "Then you can't be so presumptuous!"

After scolding Yu Jia, he turned to Lian'er and said, "The same goes for you. Why compete with a soldier on the battlefield?"

Seeing that Li Yuanyuan's tone softened, Li Yanzhao waved his hand towards Yu Jia.

"Okay, okay, Lin Erzhu, don't go out of the backyard today. The ceremony will be held tomorrow, so you don't cause trouble for me!"

Yu Jia didn't get what she wanted, so she quickly resigned.

Only when she was far away did she dare to mutter, "The men in the capital are scary, and so are the women!"

Finally, the day of the grand ceremony came, and the gongs and drums were noisy, and the drum music suddenly sounded.

The emperor led the prince to the imperial prayer room.

Emperor Li Guoli was solemn and solemn in formal attire.

The prince and several princes followed the emperor and separated.

Taichang, who was in charge of the sacrifice, wore a light brown official uniform and announced the start of the sacrifice. The emperor led the princes and ministers and began to kneel and kowtow to the gods in the altar.

It took half a day just to go to the altar of earth. There were many earth gods in the altar. Each god had to kneel three times and kowtow nine times. In total, he had to bow more than seventy times and kowtow more than two hundred times.

After finally enduring the sacrifice at the earth altar, the emperor's face became obviously depressed.

Later, the emperor could only worship the emperor alone. After finally kneeling down and worshiping, the emperor was supported by the eunuch and entered the main hall to rest.

Matters after the Heavenly Sacrifice were left to Taichang to handle with full authority, offering incense and wine to pray for good weather in the Zhou Dynasty and peace for the country and the people in the coming year.

Although Yu Jia didn't follow in the kowtows, she was still very tired. The sacrifice was finally finished, so it wouldn't be long before she could return to the military camp!
Everything went as expected, and Li Yanzhao received the imperial edict that night.

In recognition of his hard work and meritorious service, the emperor named him Prince Qi, and the General's Palace was renamed Prince Qi's Palace.

This was originally a good thing, but it turned out to be confusing.

Li Yanzhao was still the general of Zhennan, commanding the Nantong Army and fighting against the Southern Barbarians together with the Chongqing Army.

The original Chongqing Army was jointly managed by Lin Gongxun and Gu Wenbin, the original captain of Guoyi.

　The sacrifice was not written in such detail. Anyway, it was all done by the old emperor himself. Please give me tickets, monthly tickets and recommended tickets.
