Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 229
Su Yinli frowned, with a serious look on his face, and said: "Please rest assured, my father, I will get up and go to Huainan to make amends. If Huainan is bad, I will not return!"

He never expected that in previous years, the amount of rain in Huainan was plentiful but within controllable range, but this summer, when the rain fell, it never stopped, more than in previous years.If the flood really got out of hand, the consequences would be immeasurable.

Therefore, Su Yinli did not dare to delay for a moment, braved the heavy rain and left Beijing overnight, and went to the severely flooded places in Huainan to provide disaster relief.

After a few days of heavy rain, Bianliang soon became sunny again.However, the flood reports in Huainan have never been interrupted. Fortunately, the prince arrived in time for disaster relief, and the flood in Huainan has been effectively controlled, although refugees have fled in some places.

For this reason, the emperor felt a little at ease.

Subsequently, the Jin Dynasty ushered in their annual sacrifice to the imperial mausoleum.This season is at the end of summer, and after noon, the weather has a taste of autumn.

Two days ago, the emperor took his civil and military courtiers to the imperial mausoleum. In addition to worshiping the ancestors and heaven and earth in accordance with the usual practice, this sacrifice also had an additional meaning of praying for the flood in Huainan. He wanted to pray for the gods to harvest rain in time. A piece of fertile land has become a vast ocean, so sacrifices seem to be more urgent.

The imperial mausoleum of the Jin Dynasty was built on the southeast side outside the capital, in the center of the three mountains of Taiyin Mountain, Taiyang Mountain and Taiji Mountain.

These three mountains are extremely high, wide and magnificent. The top of the mountain is covered by snow-capped mountains all the year round, and the mountainside is lush and evergreen. The terrain of Mount Santai is quite high, and it is surrounded by each other. The land in the mountains is also rising high, which is said to be rare. The land of dragon veins and geomantic omen.The emperor's mausoleum is built in this place, which can ensure the prosperity of the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, the imperial mausoleum can be said to be located on the mountainside of the three Taishan Mountains.From the foot of the mountain to the mountain, you need to walk more than 1000 stone stairs.

Suo Xingshan built a residence for the royal family members for the annual sacrifice of the imperial mausoleum. As early as when the emperor left with his ministers and concubines, the upper and lower parts of the residence had been properly arranged.

Although it is a sacrificial ceremony, the green mountains and green waters along the way are also very eye-catching. Concubines and wives who do not participate in political affairs will inevitably regard this trip as a tour of the mountains and rivers, so everyone wants to accompany them.In order not to make the sacrificial ceremony too tense and boring, the emperor also allowed the accompanying officials from the court to bring their wives and family members, making them think of it as a late summer and autumn outing.

Others traveled all the way to the resort leisurely, but Feng Shijin and her master did not dare to delay at all.Jun Qianji managed to get Feng Shijin to do this sacrifice with him, and it was the first time Feng Shijin came into contact with the duties of the national teacher since she returned to Beijing. You have to learn the same thing.In order not to embarrass Jun Qianji, she took it very seriously, as if she was facing an enemy.

As early as the night before the arrival of the emperor's team, the master and apprentice arrived at the foot of the mountain first.At that time, in the night, the hotel was located at the foot of the mountain, and the lights were lit, flickering and revealing a sense of remote tranquility, as if immersed in this world, isolated from the world.

Unexpectedly, before they came, there were people who arrived earlier than them.This person is undoubtedly the fourth prince Su Guyan who is in charge of organizing this sacrifice.

Su Guyan came out to greet him in person, Jun Qianji and Feng Shijin jumped off their horses and walked towards him.

The two masters and apprentices stood together with Su Guyan in the empty space in front of the hotel.

The wind in the mountains is particularly strong, and it is slightly cold, and the clean smell of the grass and trees in the mountains blows to the face. Although Feng Shijin tied her hair firmly with sandalwood hairpins, there are still strands of hair on her temples. It's messed up.She followed Jun Qianji upright, and the night wind blew her robe and skirt flying backwards, almost merging with Jun Qianji's robe.

Seeing it, Su Guyan felt it was an eyesore.

He looked at Feng Shijin with complicated eyes, he wanted to say something but in the end he didn't say anything.It's just that the conversation was full of hostility and dislike towards Jun Qianji.

Although the field of vision on this mountain is wide, but apart from looking up at the double shadow of the green mountains beyond the sky, looking up at the sky, it is so dark that there is not even a single star, and there is a heavy sense of oppression.

Su Guyan brought the imperial guards and arranged them up and down the mountain. For Jun Qianji to preside over such ceremonies is already a common practice, and there is no need for him to come early, let alone take Feng Shijin to climb in the dark. The more than 1000 stone steps climbed halfway up the mountain to get familiar with the layout of the imperial mausoleum and Guangdian.

After hastily eating dinner, Jun Qianji said that Feng Shijin was not familiar with this place, so in order to avoid mistakes tomorrow, he took Feng Shijin to start climbing the mountain.

Feng Shijin's interest is naturally very good, instead of letting her stay in the room and unknowingly fall into wild thoughts, it is better to devote herself to this natural and open mountain.

But Su Guyan saw it, and followed him out, and went hiking together in the dark.

Jun Qianji said: "The imperial guards are guarding at the foot of the mountain. Doesn't the fourth prince need to arrange for defense at this time?"

The ancestors of the royal family of the Jin Dynasty all slept in the imperial mausoleum on the mountain. In order not to disturb them, there were no mausoleum guards on the mountain. The mausoleum guards from all dynasties only stayed halfway up the mountain.Now that the emperor is going to come to this land, the imperial army is deployed on the mountainside and at the foot of the mountain.

Su Guyan didn't stop, and walked up the stairs calmly, saying: "When the national teacher came, he had already changed his defense. Tomorrow the national teacher will preside over the grand ceremony, and now I will go up to the mountain to get acquainted. I am ordered by the emperor to prepare for this For the next grand ceremony, it is my duty to accompany the national teacher together."

He didn't look sideways, with a serious expression on his face: "In previous years, I have never seen the National Teacher's Association go up the mountain ahead of time. This year is different. This year, the National Teacher brought his apprentices. It is normal for the apprentices to familiarize themselves with it beforehand. But if the National Teacher wants to use this name to do For some other shocking actions, I still advise you to stop here."

Feng Shijin lowered his head and lifted his feet up, he didn't know how many steps he had taken, even when he stopped and looked back to see how high the stone ladder was spreading under his feet, he felt a little guilty.

Perhaps it was Su Guyan's words that meant something else, which caused her heart to skip a beat for no reason, and then jumped up and down, her breathing was out of rhythm, panting with her walking movements, her forehead There was a faint sense of sweat on his face.

Jun Qianji's voice was calm and his voice was steady, as calm and unhurried as he was walking up the mountain: "For example? The fourth prince can speak more clearly."

"I think you know better than anyone else what I'm talking about."

Jun Qianji said neither sad nor happy: "The fourth prince thinks that I have a good heart with you or something, I can understand the meaning of every word you say? You are too overestimating me."

Su Guyan pursed his lips and said in an emphatic tone, "Don't you dare to admit what you have done now, my lord?"
