Since coming to this era, Zhang Yan has always wanted to remove the concept of master and servant from this society.Even though his current strength is not enough to affect such relatively important things as etiquette, through some detailed actions, Zhang Yan is still subtly weakening the sense of alienation and gap between Ye'er and the people around him.

This is how the two go hand in hand now.

"Hmph, Ye'er is such a good girl, I don't know what ecstasy potion you poured into her, and she surrounds your master all day long and short."

"Ye'er, you too. You obviously complained to me with a depressed look before, but when you turned around and saw your master, you immediately forgot all the pain."

"If I were you, I would have ignored him long ago!"

He snorted lightly, seeing Zhang Yan waving his hand to greet him, the woman next to the piano stage said that she was unhappy, but she still slightly attached herself to salute Zhang Yan.

Even after learning of Qiaoying's existence, she felt a little dissatisfied with Ye'er's experience, but she was brought up by Cai Yong, and she still has a good grasp of etiquette.Even if she occasionally jokes with Zhang Yan and others, she always pays attention to where she should pay attention, so that people will not give her the impression of being ignorant and unreasonable.

On the other side, upon hearing Cai Zhenji's words, Zhang Yan understood that the other party was kindly reminding him, so he didn't pay too much attention to the sour expression on the little girl's face, instead he turned and looked in the direction of Ye'er beside him.

"Huh? Ye'er, are you unhappy about something?"

Asked a little curiously, Zhang Yan didn't seem to expect that Yi Ye'er's relatively cheerful personality would encounter something that made her unhappy, and he didn't pay much attention when he returned.But now, under Zhen Ji's deliberate reminder, he belatedly found a trace of bored expression on Ye'er's face that had been hidden deeply.

As if a little unwilling.

Chapter 7 Zhang Yan's First Time

"What's the matter, is Ye'er unhappy about something?"

Staring at the soft face of the other party, Zhang Yan asked softly.After hearing his words, Ye'er's face clearly showed a hint of panic, but she quickly suppressed it forcibly.

"It's nothing, did the master come back just now? Why didn't you report to the emperor first?"

Barely showing a smile, Ye'er did not give Zhang Yan too many opportunities to ask about this issue, so he brought the topic to the other party.Seeing that the other party was unwilling to say more, although Zhang Yan was a little puzzled, he was not in a hurry, but followed Ye'er's words.

Anyway, there is still plenty of time to come back at night, so he is not in a hurry.This time he came back first just to say hello to Ye'er, if he missed the time because of this, it would appear that he was a little confused about the priorities.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yan opened his mouth and said to Ye'er:

"Well, I didn't report to work."

"It's been more than three months since I left home. I really miss you, so I'll go home first and have a look."

Gently pinching the other party with his palm, Zhang Yan looked at Ye'er very gently.And after hearing his words, Ye'er's face softened a little, and it was no longer as ugly as before.

"Master, you still have to focus on business, don't delay."

Shaking his head lightly, Ye'er didn't say anything more to Zhang Yan, and then lightly exerted force on the hand that was holding the other party, and sent Zhang Yan out of the small courtyard.

……

"It's really strange...why does it feel like Ye'er is hiding something from me?"

Standing at the gate, Zhang Yan had already come out of his home at this moment, so he led the horse and stopped here thoughtfully.It's just that after thinking hard for a long time, he still didn't have a clue, so he had to put the matter aside first, got on his horse and drove towards Luoyang Imperial City.

Galloping on the main road in Luoyang, the first thousand Xiyuan troops belonging to Zhang Yan had returned to the headquarters of Xiyuan according to the request of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong.As for the rest of the army, except for a few high-ranking generals who were able to enter the city for supplies, the rest of the soldiers were honestly camped outside Luoyang and did not enter the city.

"drive--"

Swinging the horsewhip vigorously, Zhang Yan relied on the fact that it was around noon and there were no pedestrians on the street, so he let go of the restraint of the horse under his crotch and moved forward at full speed.And soon, after he walked a certain distance towards the imperial city in the south, Zhang Yan was surprised to find that he passed the construction site where the wonder was built in the north of the city.

Staring at the familiar fence, it took Zhang Yan a long time to realize that although he set out from the main gate in the south of the city, he returned from the north gate this time. Naturally, he passed by this very familiar construction site. .After looking into the distance with his extreme eyes, Zhang Yan faintly saw the huge stone base that had been completely built in the construction site.

Although for some reason, Zhang Yan always felt that there were some overcast clouds above the construction site, but after asking the system, the system only said that it was the performance of the giant equatorial sundial he arranged to build, which was about to be completed and was still short of the last step.

If you wait until the entire building is completely completed, the cloud will naturally dissipate.

"Good guy, you won't give me a catastrophe or something..."

Secretly slandering in his heart, although Zhang Yan wanted to go inside to see the situation in detail, he was limited by the fact that the sundial was a little far away from his direction, so he could only take a look at the huge and tall building from a distance. At least skip the side and rush towards the front.

"System, I have built a lot of wonders before. Although most of them are failures, and none of them can reach the minimum score of [-] points you require, no matter how you say it, it can be regarded as some experience."

"In the previous buildings, even rare-quality pavilions and buildings were built. I have never seen such cloudy clouds. Why can a simple white quality have such a big ostentation this time?"

Curiously asking the system, Zhang Yan thought back to the bunch of restaurants or scenic spots he tried to build at the beginning, most of them received the construction completion notification from the system after the construction was completed and the opening ceremony was held. tips.Now this building, which is evaluated as "the simplest" by the system, has aroused the vision of heaven and earth, so he can't help but think about it.

[When different wonders are about to be "completed", various visions will appear according to the attributes of the building to communicate with the world]

[The higher the degree of completion of the spectacle, the more obvious the vision when the construction is completed]

[Anomalies will only appear if the degree of completion is evaluated as "passed (60 points)" or above by the system]

The long-lost system prompt sounded in Zhang Yan's ears, and Zhang Yan suddenly understood why he had never seen such supernatural elements appearing in more than half a year before.But after he savored it for a while, Zhang Yan was surprised to find something different from the system prompt.

"Wait, system, you mean that the appearance of this vision means that my sundial has been successfully built?!"

Sighing in surprise, Zhang Yan suddenly had the idea of ​​reining in the horse and returning to the construction site.

You must know that Zhang Yan has tried to build the wonders provided by his system several times in just over half a year.Only limited by relatively mediocre construction methods and techniques, he has never been able to see what kind of posture a completed spectacle will appear in front of him.

Does it come with cool rgb lighting effects and music like Sid Meier's civilization series?

Or give yourself a huge resource bonus like the wonders provided by Paradox Interactive?

After a fierce psychological struggle, Zhang Yan finally made a rather painful decision to put aside his first successfully constructed spectacle and go to the palace first to go to the Hanling Emperor Liu Hong to ask for a reward.

I have to say that if it weren't for the fact that going to Liu Hong to get the reward was also very important to him, Zhang Yan could only rush to Wei Xian now, solve all the problems he encountered one by one, and then take a look at the "spectacle" What kind of feeling will people feel after things are transplanted from the game world to reality.

"Hey, I just thought it would be possible at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be successful..."

With a sigh of emotion, Zhang Yan sat on the horseback and recalled the inexplicable premonition he felt in his heart when he came here with Cao Cao and the moment before he left.It's just that he didn't expect that, just when he was used to failure and didn't have too much hope for Wei Xian and others in his heart, the other party was actually in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Wonders were built in an era that was not suitable for large-scale construction.

Even if this kind of spectacle is just a stupid big guy who is evaluated by the system as the simplest and least technical, Zhang Yan feels quite satisfied deep down in his heart.

"Hehe, it's true... Wei Xian spent so much money and food, if this matter doesn't work out in the end, it's really unreasonable."

Secretly complaining about the ultra-low psychological expectations, Zhang Yan jumped off the horse with a smile, and walked into the majestic palace complex in front of him.

"Next time, I should be able to find some difficult wonders for him, right?"

Chapter 8 Festival!

In Luoyang City, Zhang Yancai had just entered the imperial city to wait for the summons from the Yellow Gate in the palace, while on the other side of the construction site, Wei Xian was looking at the completed spectacle with an indescribable sadness on his face.

"Hey, I have already reached this point, but I have been stuck on this most critical step for so long, this is really..."

Sighing slightly, Wei Xian also has nothing to do today, just waiting for Zhang Yan's return in this temporary residence.

As early as more than half a month ago, the sundial built by the team led by myself was almost completed.The [-]-meter-high base made of granite stands like a triangular tower in the north of Luoyang City. On the upper platform, a huge stone dial measuring three feet square overlooks everything in Luoyang City from a pre-set angle. .

It can be said that this time, with a large amount of manpower and material resources, as well as the secret support of Zhang Rang, the permanent servant, the completion of this equatorial sundial has already surpassed all the wonders he led to build before.

It's just that the last step of the opening ceremony has been delayed until now, and it can't go on normally.

……

"Brother Wei, this sundial is different from ordinary buildings. It is a kind of royal ritual instrument that existed before the Western Zhou Dynasty."

"If it is an ordinary building, it only needs to send someone to announce the opening, and it will be considered as the last step of the building. However, ritual vessels such as sundials, dating back to the past, are a kind of "sacrifice vessels" belonging to the pre-Qin and even Shang and Zhou dynasties, but they are different from ordinary The "raising utensils" used in life are different, and it needs to be sacrificed by a special person to be considered complete."

"Although I don't know why you built this "sacrificial vessel" as tall as a mountain range, but unless there is a special earth vein master who is willing to come forward to preside over it, Brother Wei should not act rashly, lest it hurt Feng Shui, and all previous efforts will be wasted, and the gain will not be worth the loss."

Thinking of what the young scholar who suddenly appeared in front of him said to him a few days ago, Wei Xian couldn't help but feel a little headache about this matter.

In the blueprint Zhang Yan gave him before his departure, it was mentioned that a sacrificial ceremony was required in the last step of the construction of the sundial to complete the steps.According to the etiquette and law of the Han Dynasty, all sacrifices have very clear restrictions and regulations.

Just as it is said in the Book of Rites:

"If you are the son of heaven, you will sacrifice to the heaven and the earth, to the country, to the mountains and rivers, to the five sacrifices, and every year."

"If you are a vassal, you will sacrifice to the state, mountains and rivers, and five sacrifices, all year round;"

"If you are a doctor, you will sacrifice five sacrifices, every year;"

"The priest sacrifices first."

Even though the Zhou Dynasty has already become the tears of the times, many records about etiquette in the Book of Rites are still regarded as the truth by the current court and implemented.

For example, the Son of Heaven is qualified to worship the heaven, earth, mountains and rivers, the rivers and the country, but when he is a prince, he can only worship the mountains and rivers but not the heaven and the earth.

According to the strict rules of etiquette, ordinary people like myself are not qualified to hold sacrifices at all. Even if the class of "doctor" has been replaced by local officials, as a commoner, I am also qualified to worship ancestors, but if I want to hold such a large-scale For the sacrificial ceremony, Wei Xian obviously had no choice.

This is not a problem that can be solved by money or his own family relationship, but that he is completely isolated from this matter from the point of origin.

According to what the scholar said to himself before, if you want to hold a sacrifice for such a super-large "sacrifice vessel", at least it must be presided over by a special "earth teacher", that is, the master of the earth veins, and the minimum specification must be a sacrifice. A ceremony of the level of Five Sacrifice to the Gods is barely enough.

And if he forcibly holds the ceremony in accordance with the standard of offering sacrifices to ancestors, then he will completely destroy the auspicious "ground veins" around the building, and even turn auspiciousness into evil.

Although Wei Xian, who was born as a commoner, did not understand the metaphysics of "earth veins" or the impact on the already built building if the ceremony was different, Wei Xian still understood the meaning expressed by the other party. Good understanding to the heart.

"It's just that where can I find this 'Earth Vein Master'?"

Some helplessly sighed, Wei Xian naturally felt a little helpless for this harsh requirement.

Not to mention the fact that his identity cannot exceed the rules to hold the sacrificial ceremony, just being a "need a master of the earth veins" to preside over it gave him quite a headache, and he was even a little helpless.

What is an earth vein master?According to the scholar, the master of the earth veins is a top talent who is familiar with the technique of hopeful qi and understands the laws of the four auras of earth, water, fire, and wind.Don't say that Wei Xian is just a commoner, and even his boss Zhang Yan may not be qualified to contact him.

Today, 90.00% of the five masters of the earth veins in the Han Dynasty work under the command of "Taichang", the head of the Jiuqing who is in charge of sacrificial etiquette in this palace, and the remaining 5.00% are mostly well-known wealthy families in some places. He is qualified to make contact, so where can he get it?

For example, the well-known Kuai family in Jingnan generation, but Rang Weixian did not make any progress even when he asked Zhang Rang for help.And after confirming that he had no way to proceed with this matter, Wei Xian had no choice but to shelve this matter for the time being, and waited for the return of his boss Zhang Yan with peace of mind.

……

On the other side, Zhang Yan was standing alone outside a luxurious palace, waiting for Hanling Emperor Liu Hong to summon him.

According to the regulations of the Han Dynasty, court meetings are generally held in two forms: "Great Court Meeting" and "Discussion".Among them, the Great Court Meeting is generally only held on the first and fifteenth day of each month, as well as major festivals. Usually, the emperor will hold a small meeting every five days, that is, the "Chang Dynasty".As the physical condition of Hanling Emperor Liu Hong has been worsening day by day in recent years, the frequency of this court meeting has also decreased. Now it has become a meeting every [-] days, which is comparable to the frequency of the previous great court meeting. .

Today, it happened to be the Changchao meeting, the emperor, the Sangong Jiuqing and other important officials were busy in the meeting hall at the moment, and Zhang Yan, who was not qualified enough to go to the hall, naturally waited for the end of the Liu Hongchao meeting in the side hall, and then proceeded with him. subpoena.

Wearing the general uniform, Zhang Yan straightened his clothes and glanced at the surrounding environment with some excitement.This is the second time he has come to this imperial city of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The last time he came here was about half a year ago, when he had just traveled to this dynasty.

I still remember that at that time, because I had just arrived, I was flustered and restless, so I naturally didn't have any leisure time to carefully observe the various environments in the palace.But this time he came here, but he was already a fourth-rank general in the Han Dynasty, with a food ratio of two thousand stones, and his mentality was naturally completely different from before.

Just when he was concentrating on admiring the beautiful scenery in the palace, a young eunuch in yellow clothes stepped out of the side hall and walked towards him quickly.

……

"General Zhang, the emperor has summoned you, please."

Chapter 9 Are unofficial histories true?

"General Zhang, the emperor summoned you, please?"

He bowed kindly to Zhang Yan outside the door, and saw a little yellow door pointing to the gate of the side hall, and motioned Zhang Yan to follow him into the hall to meet the emperor.When Zhang Yan saw this "Huang Menlang" at the moment, he also unloaded all the weapons and handed them over to others, and walked into this side hall in military uniform.
