Three Kingdoms, at the beginning of the game, recognize the thief as the father, hit the spectacle,

No matter what major event happened...the sacrificial ceremony must not be affected, otherwise he would be labeled as an unfilial son or something.

This was a very serious negative impression in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

……

More importantly... when he first met Zhang Rang, he told Zhang Rang himself that he should recognize Zhang Rang as his father and treat Zhang Rang as his own father...

Although at the time, it was uncertain how much of what Zhang Yan said was forced by formality, but it must be admitted that Zhang Rang was very kind to himself.

Even when dealing with those clan relatives outside the palace, Zhang Rang seldom had the gentle attitude towards himself.

It was this sense of contrast that made Zhang Yan full of gratitude for his cheap godfather.

Regardless of what the outside world thinks of this troubled man, at the very least, Zhang Rang has never done anything to be sorry for himself.

Then what he promised at the beginning, treating the other party as his own father, is something that must be done.

This is his promise.

……

only……

It's just that this sacrifice is not the kind of easy work that can be solved by lighting a stick of incense casually and worshiping in the later generations.

When offering sacrifices to the ancestral hall, one must burn incense, take a bath, and change clothes. The whole family, old and young, must go to battle together, in order to show their obedience and respect for the ancestors and the lineage.

Not to mention anything else now, Ms. Flannel Ball is still awake, so he definitely can't go into the ancestral hall to worship alone.

Otherwise, I don't know how many people would gossip behind Qiao Ying's back.

……

And if he went to wake her up... Zhang Yan couldn't bear it.

After thinking about it, he could only sigh, returned to the main hall, and began to fiddle with his plans for the coming year.

After all, it is the first grade of junior high school.New year, new start.

Idle is also idle, there is always nothing wrong with preparing in advance.

……

It's just that Zhang Yan didn't expect that this wait would take a full two hours.

By the time Qiaoying walked out of the bedroom in a daze and threw herself into his arms, the noon of the first day of the new year was almost past.

……

Quickly cleaned up the other party's body, Zhang Yan smiled wryly, and didn't know what to say.

Surrounded by many servants, the two plunged headlong into the spacious and solemn ancestral hall of the Marquis of Wan Kingdom.

……

blue sky.

Earth.

Mountains and rivers.

……

Emperor.

Godfather Zhang Rang and his ancestors.

There is also his cheap relative Zhang who has never met.

……

The objects of sacrifice are like commodities on the assembly line, and he needs to worship them one by one according to the process.

……

In the Eastern Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, some behavioral restrictions were naturally much less than those of later generations.

But other things like...

For example, he needs to line up and worship the things in the past one by one...

……

There is still more in the future.

Chapter 2 A gentleman hides his treasures in his body

After Zhang Yan finished offering sacrifices and came out of the ancestral hall, it was already the afternoon of the first day of the new year.

Instead of chatting like those around him, Zhang Yan walked on the road, constantly recalling what he saw and heard in the ancestral hall just now, and there was inevitably a trace of surprise in his heart.

……

Just now, when he was in the ancestral hall, Zhang Yan followed the rules passed down by Confucianism for thousands of years. He first worshiped the heaven and the earth, and then offered incense and wine to the mountains and rivers. Although he was in a hurry, he could barely handle it.

It's just that when offering sacrifices to the current emperor, especially when offering incense to the previous Emperor Liu Hong, the incense in the incense burner could not be ignited, and the guy who presided over the sacrifice broke out in a cold sweat.

This was in the last years of the Han Dynasty, and before the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there was no soil for the kind of incense sticks that were common in later generations.

Nowadays, the incense burned during the sacrifices of the Han Dynasty is all spices that are ground into powder and placed in the incense burner.

Since it is said that it is ground into powder, it is natural that the spices are wet, hardened, and even rotten occasionally.

It's just that in the process of sacrifice, such problems should be checked and solved in advance.

If there is such a mistake, it can be said to be an unforgivable sin for the host of the sacrifice.

……

Just looking at the incense in the censer, Zhang Yan felt something in his heart at that time, and did not blame the person in charge.

He just shook his head wordlessly, then skipped the sacrifice for Liu Hong, and turned to sacrifice to the previous emperors.

Coincidentally, for some reason, when the object of sacrifice was changed, the incense in the incense burner was immediately ignited, and there was no need to change the spices.

This is... a bit interesting.

At that time, Zhang Yan didn't say anything, but secretly remembered this matter in his heart.

……

Now that he came out of the ancestral hall, Zhang Yan recalled the vision he faced at that time, and suddenly had a guess in his heart.

It's just that this guess... But it seemed a little thin, so thin that he didn't even dare to tell the people around him what he thought.

……

"Why doesn't this incense burn?"

……

"Is it because I don't belong to a big man, so my heart is not pious enough?"

……

"It shouldn't be. Although he is not from the Han Dynasty, Zhang Yan's heart is indeed a person of the Han nationality, a Han nationality."

"In terms of identity, he shouldn't have any problems."

……

"Is that because the spices have been stored for too long, and they have condensed together due to moisture, so they can't be ignited?"

……

"Probably... not at all."

"Although it's very common for spices to get wet, it's winter anyway. How can spices get wet so easily?"

"Even if it is damp, wouldn't the person in charge of the sacrifice check before the sacrifice begins?"

Zhang Yan didn't think that the people under him would make such a mistake in such a formal occasion.

……

"Then... Could it be that this Liu Hong is actually not dead at all?"

……

For some reason, Zhang Yan's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

……

Although he is very clear that in history, especially in the official history, Liu Hong, Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, died of illness in the middle of 189 AD, which is highly consistent with the news he received last year...

But who knows, this somewhat different Three Kingdoms, this somewhat different end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, will come up with something for themselves?

……

To put it lightly, even though Liu Hong, Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, died, until now, the news has been tightly suppressed in the circle of high-ranking officials with more than [-] shi.

Not to mention the low-level people, even the low-level county officials, few people know about this.

……

Since the matter has not been made public, does it mean that there is some misunderstanding or there is a turning point?

……

And if it's more serious...then there's more to talk about.

……

Benefiting from the highly prosperous Internet literature in the 21st century, almost every reader of novels will have heard of a somewhat familiar vocabulary - the butterfly effect.

"The slight flapping of a butterfly's wings in South America can cause a violent storm in the Pacific Ocean."

This famous line from the science fiction novel "A Thunderbolt" is a good illustration of the impact of the character's behavior on the original environment in the time travel environment.

It is very likely that Zhang Yan rescued a beggar who was destined to die today. After 1000 years, the descendants of this beggar will come forward to withstand the powerful offensive of the Mongols in the Song-Yuan War and completely reverse the fate of the Chinese people.

It is also possible that today Zhang Yan made an extremely great, even unrivaled pioneering work, but because of the passage of time, his influence on the world was gradually healed.
