King of Song

Chapter 599 Chapter [-]

The importance of the ancestral temple to the feudal dynasty is self-evident.

China has always paid attention to blood inheritance. Since Zhou Gong, there has been a complete system of offering sacrifices to ancestors, and it has become an extremely important part of the ethics of feudal society.

Ordinary people's homes have ancestral halls to worship their ancestors, while the royal family builds Taimiao, which is the most important place for a dynasty.

The first month of the first year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny at Chenqiao, the first month of the addition of the yellow robe.The political power has not yet been stabilized. Even though Zhao Kuangyin was so busy that he was overwhelmed, he did not forget one thing-the establishment of the Taimiao.

The ancestral temple is the foundation of the country, which means the stability and inheritance of a dynasty, and it is more related to filial piety and etiquette.

Many emperors were enshrined in the Taimiao of the Song Dynasty.

There are Emperor Xizu Literature, Emperor Shunzu Huiyuan, Emperor Yizu Jiangong, Emperor Xuanzu Wuzhao Zhao Hongyin who were conferred at the beginning of the founding of the country; and Emperor Baosheng Tianzun Zhao Xuanlang (the legendary god of wealth Zhao Gongming) who was honored by Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty , a total of five posthumous ancestors.

The third is the five ancestor kings who actually reigned, including Taizu, Taizong, Zhenzong, Renzong, and Yingzong.Of course, in addition to this, there is another wonderful thing-Huang Kao Pu Anyi Wang Zhao Yunrang!

Song Yingzong was originally the thirteen sons of Pu Anyi Wang Zhao Yunrang, who adopted Song Renzong as the crown prince.However, after Song Yingzong ascended the throne, he initiated the famous "Pu Yi". The focus of the debate was whether Zhao Yunrang should be called Huang Kao (father) or Huang Bo.

This matter was once a turmoil, and the civil and military disputes in the Manchu Dynasty were inextricable, and finally ended with the compromise of the Empress Dowager Cao.Emperor Yingzong of Song Dynasty honored Zhao Yunrang as Huang Kao, and took the tomb as the garden, that is, the temple was built in the garden.The most excessive thing is that Zhao Yunrang was enshrined in the Taimiao.

When the Empress Dowager Cao saw Zhao Yunrang's spirit position, her eyes flickered coldly, under her long sleeves, she clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost pierced into her flesh, and her heart was bleeding even more.Even in his sixtieth year, he is used to seeing strong winds and waves, and it is difficult to calm down at this moment.

In this era, blood inheritance is extremely important, especially for the royal family.When a person is enshrined in the Taimiao after death, it is necessary for descendants to offer sacrifices and sacrifice blood.When Emperor Renzong died, he had no biological son. Zhao Zongshi was adopted as the crown prince. From the perspective of feudal etiquette, he was the son of Emperor Renzong, and his biological father Zhao Yunrang could only be the emperor's uncle.

Now he honors his father as Huang Kao and enshrines it in the Taimiao, what is going on?Where did Emperor Renzong be placed?Is he offering sacrifices to his biological father, or Emperor Renzong, his heir father?From the perspective of etiquette, this is unfilial!But Song Yingzong Zhao Zongshi said to the outside world that it was the meaning of Empress Dowager Cao.

hum!

How could the Cao family agree?Wouldn't this trap her, the surviving queen mother, in an unjust place?She clearly remembered how Zhao Zongshi filled herself with alcohol, stamped her seal privately, and then threatened herself with Han Qi.You are unfilial, and still force me to be sorry to my husband?How could Mrs. Cao never forget the humiliation of that day?Never forget.

Seeing Zhao Yunrang's spiritual position is so dazzling, the scars in my heart were uncovered, and a handful of salt was sprinkled on it, it hurts so much!
Today, considering his own existence, Zhao Yunrang is still just King Pu Anyi, what about after his death?Maybe he will be revered as emperor by his grandson!At that time, wouldn't Emperor Renzong and himself become a big joke?

Can't stand it, absolutely can't stand it!
There are enough humiliations in life, and it is undoubtedly a tragic thing in life that one cannot get blood from the descendants after death.Mrs. Cao didn't want her husband and wife to become lonely ghosts who could not find peace.

Zhao Yunrang's spiritual seat must be thrown out of the Taimiao, and his husband and wife must have descendants to worship for generations. He is the only one who can do this...

At this moment, Cao's determination became even firmer.

Zhao Xu didn't notice the change in Cao's mentality, he still had other things in mind.

When Lin Zhao came back, Han Jiang went ten miles out of the city to meet him, and the people lined up to welcome him, so that there was a traffic jam in Bianjing.Zhao Xu felt a little uncomfortable. The reputation of a courtier has reached this level, even surpassing that of the emperor... It must be suppressed, it must be...

Tomorrow, at the prisoner presenting ceremony tomorrow, I will definitely be a good emperor who rewards meritorious service and sympathizes with the heroes!
"Zhong Zhen, let's stay here tonight and keep a filial piety for your emperor!" Cao Shi made a request that Zhao Xu couldn't refuse.

"Yes!"

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple were all there. In order to play the filial son and grandson Xian to the end and avoid the reputation of being unfilial, Zhao Xu had no choice but to agree.

Cao sighed secretly: "Dongyang, I've done everything that needs to be done for you, and the rest is up to you!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Zheng Guogong's mansion, Lin Zhao hastily had a reunion dinner with his family, and it was already evening.

Although we were separated for almost a year, the family misses us very much.Especially the wives, Xiao Biesheng is newlyweds, and they all look forward to harmony, love and concubine, and share joy.

But not today. At the critical moment, the atmosphere is particularly tense, and everyone cares about it.

After dinner, the nurse took a few children to rest, and those who stayed in the hall were absolutely her own.The guards of the Mingyue Sect posing as servants cleared out the irrelevant servants. Di Qing came, and Lin Zhao's biological mother, Lin Shi, also came, but Jiang Leiting went to nowhere and hadn't been there for a long time.

The atmosphere in the hall is dignified, and everyone can feel a kind of atmosphere that the mountain rain is about to come and the wind is filling the building. Tonight may be a sleepless night!

"Mr. Di, all preparations have been made!" Lin Zhao asked in a deep voice. Tomorrow's affairs are really too important, so he is inevitably a little nervous.

"Uncle Ouyang Yong has already arrived in Bianjing. Although he is ill, he can still persevere. He is willing to speak the truth impartially!"

Ouyang Xiu was a very important figure. In the original history, Xining died in five years.In order to prevent problems before they happen, Lin Zhao sent someone to recuperate Ouyang Xiu's body early on.It made this great figure in the literary world of the Song Dynasty overcome a deadlock and his life was able to continue.

"As long as he speaks, it will be more impartial and more credible!"

"Other aspects have been prepared according to the young master's instructions."

"Well, very good!" Lin Zhao nodded, secretly thinking about the established strategy, and it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it.

"Tomorrow, Concubine Lin, Gu Qi, and even the young master, and the two young ladies also need to go!" Di Qing ordered in a low voice.

"Well, I got it!" Lin Zhao was silent for a moment, and said to Concubine Lin: "Mother, it has been more than 20 years, and tomorrow we will be able to recover our identities and see the light of day again. Then we will have our grievances cleared, and we will get back what belongs to us little by little!"

"Okay!" Concubine Jing and Layman Concubine Lin were also filled with emotion. The thing she had dreamed of a long time ago came, but there was not much excitement and joy.The state of mind is no longer what it used to be, and now the core of everything you do is around your son.

"Digong, what about you?"

Di Qing hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "My lord, I am already a dead person, so I should disappear forever, otherwise many things will be difficult to explain."

"But this is wronging you? Mr. Di is very resourceful and strong, and he can make contributions to the Song Dynasty in the future..." Lin Zhao knew very well that if he missed this time, Di Qing would lose the chance of "resurrection" forever.

"Young master, I'm absurd. I'm already old. I can advise you behind the scenes. I can just sit back and forth. I have nothing else to do." Di Qing pondered for a moment, and continued: "It's useless to reveal your identity. Don't forget, my Identity is also associated with a trump card, which must be considered in the long run!"

"Okay, I've wronged Duke Di!" Lin Zhao then asked again, "What about safety?"

Di Qing said: "On tomorrow's occasion, Zhao Xu must not dare to make any excessive moves, but just in case, preparations have been made, so you don't have to worry."

"That's good!" Lin Zhao said: "Since that's the case, everyone should have a good night's sleep, get enough energy, and do big things tomorrow!"

The bigger the event, the more you need to relax!

It was already noon when Zhao Baoan came to the palace, had dinner with his mother Gao Taotao, and it was getting late.

"It's all that Lin Zhao, isn't it just a triumphant return? It made the roads in Bianjing congested and delayed the time to enter the palace, so I can't spend more time with the empress."

"Hey, just stay overnight!" Gao Taotao also hoped that his children would spend more time with him. The second son, Zhao Hao, couldn't stay in the palace because men and women avoided suspicion, so his daughter didn't care.

"Thank you for your love, but... I will visit you again some other day!" What Zhao Baoan cared about was the son-in-law at home. The relationship between husband and wife has improved a little recently, and it is a critical time to consolidate the relationship between husband and wife.She was even more worried that the son-in-law would go out to find other women when she was away.

"Okay, let's go quickly, the key to the palace gate is about to be released!" Gao Tao said loudly: "Lu Yuan, it's a good luck to send the princess back home!"

Lu Yuan did not respond!

When Gao Taotao yelled for the second time, Lu Yuan hesitated to react.

"Lu Yuan, what's wrong with you today? Why are you so slow?" Zhao Baoan said to the old servant politely, "Could it be because you didn't eat? Didn't you ask the dining room to bring you something just now?"

"Dining room? By the way, it's the dining room!"

Lu Yuan didn't care about what the eldest princess said. When he heard the word dining room, his eyes lit up and he was a little too excited.After recovering, I realized that I was disrespectful in front of the empress dowager, and immediately knelt down in the tunnel and said, "Empress dowager, princess, please forgive me!"

"What dining room? What are you talking about?" Zhao Baoan was very surprised.

"Ah, I saw a person at the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion today. I am very familiar. I always feel that I have seen it somewhere, but I still can't remember it." When the room was on errand, there was a kitchen assistant named He Wu..."

"What mess?" Zhao Baoan was at a loss.

Gao Taotao's face changed suddenly, and he asked sternly, "What did you say? He Wu? But that He Wu from Concubine Lin's hometown back then? Have you seen him?"

"Yes, he has been missing since the Mingyue Pavilion caught fire. I didn't expect to see him at the gate of Zheng Guogong's mansion today. He seems to be Zheng Guogong's uncle!" At this point, Lu Yuan was startled and murmured: "Speaking carefully, Zheng Guogong's appearance seems to be somewhat similar to..."

"What are you talking about? What's the relationship with Lin Zhao? Why is it so inexplicable?" Zhao Baoan was completely confused.

Gao Taotao's face was already as cold as ice, and his expression was extremely serious. He asked in a trembling voice: "Tell me, who... is he like?"
