Chapter 3229 Hanyi Memorial
After listening to Princess Jinyang's instructions, the maid's little mouth grew into a round shape, and her little face turned pale with fright. It took a long time to come back to her senses, waved her hands repeatedly, and said: "This, this, this... how can this be done? ”
Princess Jinyang stretched out her hand and pinched the face of the little maid who was about the same age as her, pretending to be displeased and said: "How can I not do it? Let you do it, just go ahead! Even if something happens, I won't let it go." You take the responsibility, and I will take it upon myself.”
"But..."
The little maid still hesitated, but was pushed out of the palace door by Princess Jinyang. In desperation, he had no choice but to stamp his feet and trot to the imperial guard station at the palace gate. He called Princess Jinyang's imperial guard captain, shouted to a deserted place, and gave some instructions in a low voice.
The imperial guard was also startled, but he did not dare to refuse. After accepting the order, he took two of his confidants and hurriedly left the palace.
……
The Wei family's mansion is located in Buzhengfang, a wall across from Taiji Palace. The mansion is extremely grand and luxurious, and the battle situation is half the size of Buzhengfang.
There is a courtyard just one alley away from the back house and the square wall, which is where the Wei family school is located.
Wei Zhengju was sitting in the school building, throwing the book in his hand on the desk. He opened the window behind him and took a look at the leafless trees in the yard. He felt very depressed.
It is said that he has already been crowned and has already graduated from school. Naturally, he does not need to study with all the urchins in this school. It is just because he got into a big trouble some time ago and almost got his family implicated. He was severely punished by the elders of the clan and had to be locked up in the ancestral hall to face the wall and reflect.
Wei Zhengju has always escaped, how can he bear to be locked up in the ancestral hall?
Only in the name of studying can he live in the school building. Although the clan did not ban him, he himself knew how much trouble he had caused. These days, he kept to himself and studied quietly. Even though his friends in the family wanted to do tricks all day long, he never went out to fool around.
But how could he endure these quiet days? After living there for a month, it felt like grass had grown in my heart, and I just wanted to go out and play.
But when I think about the fact that it is almost impossible to marry Princess Jinyang, I can't help but feel disappointed and angry. I wish I could just throw myself into a wine vat and drown my sorrows with wine...
He asked to marry Princess Jinyang not only for the almost endless political resources, but also because he really liked Princess Jinyang!
Wei Zhengju's heart aches whenever he thinks that the incomparably beautiful, smart and cunning little princess in his heart is very likely to become someone else's wife and be held in someone else's arms and kiss me.
It’s hard to breathe...
Just as he was feeling sad, he suddenly saw his bookboy running in from outside. When he walked around the window, he almost lost his footing and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he had good balance and managed to stand, then he retreated to the window. , winked at Wei Zhengju through the window and said, "Mr. Lang, there are guards in the palace who want to see you!"
Wei Zhengju was stunned for a moment, his graceful eyebrows furrowed like a spring mountain, and he wondered: "I have no contact with the palace, so why did the palace guards come to see me... Oh! Could it be..."
Seeing the boy winking at him, he suddenly felt blessed and exclaimed.
As expected, the book boy was so excited that he lowered his voice and said, "It was sent by Princess Jinyang!"
Wei Zhengju also became excited. A little princess living in a secluded palace sent someone to look for him. What else could it be for?
Naturally, it is the flying delivery of brocade books and secret communication...
"Please, please!"
Wei Zhengju said repeatedly.
"Here!"
The book boy responded and trotted out of the yard. Soon, he brought in a captain of the imperial army who was covered in armor.
The captain entered the room and saw Wei Zhengju kneeling behind the shorter table. He bowed his hands and saluted, and asked, "But Mr. Wei in person?"
Wei Zhengju nodded and said: "Exactly. I wonder what important business the general has here?"
As he spoke, he dusted off the non-existent wrinkles at the corners of his clothes. His face was calm and his eyes were pure. He did indeed look like he had red lips, white teeth and a handsome face.
The school captain glanced at the book boy beside him. The book boy understood immediately, turned around and stood at the door, strictly prohibiting anyone from passing by and eavesdropping.
Seeing that there was no one in the house, the school captain said: "Tomorrow, my Royal Highness will go to the Zhaoling Mausoleum on Jiuwei Mountain to pay homage. Ming will come to invite you to meet me at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain tomorrow evening. He said that he has something important to do." Please discuss with me and please arrive on time.”
Wei Zhengju tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, nodded and said: "Your Highness summons you, but it is always a sea of swords and fire. How dare you not come? General, please reply to Your Highness, see you there or not."
"Here! Then I'll leave for now."
"General, walk slowly."
When the captain left, Wei Zhengju jumped up from behind and almost did a somersault!
Princess Jinyang asked her to meet in private. What does this mean? It shows that the princess has a very good impression of me and approves of me! Fortunately, there are still rumors that the little princess and Fang Jun are not clear about each other. Bah, this is simply nonsense! How could a woman as smart and intelligent as Princess Jinyang look down on an arrogant and domineering playboy like Fang Jun?
As long as he can gain Princess Jinyang's peace of mind, even if Fang Jun still objects to the marriage in the future, what can he do?
Princess Jinyang is the apple of His Majesty's eye. No one can stop her from marrying the man she likes...
*****
That night, the Xiao family, the Wang family, the Dou family, the Tang family, the Chai family, the Gao family, the Fang family and other consorts' chariots and princesses gathered outside the Chengtian Gate. At the beginning of the morning, they stayed in the palace. Princess Changle, Princess Jinyang came out of Taiji Palace in a gorgeous carriage, joined the chariots from various mansions who had been waiting outside Chengtian Gate, and headed west out of Kaiyuanmen, then turned north and crossed the Wei River along the official road, towards Jiuwei Mountain. Go ahead.
In the vast northern part of Guanzhong, there is a mountain range that stretches east and west in Liquan County. It has undulating mountains and crisscrossed hills and peaks, facing the Qinling Mountains south of Chang'an City.
A mountain peak rises suddenly, piercing the blue sky, and is surrounded by nine mountain ridges evenly distributed, like stars over the moon. In ancient times, the small mountain ridge was called Wei, hence the name "Jiu Wei Mountain".
When His Majesty Li Er saw the lush greenery here, the jagged rocks, the flying springs, the surrounding mountains, and the solitary and winding Jiuwei main peak, he liked it very much, so he ordered a group of Feng Shui experts from the Taishi Bureau to come here to survey. It is concluded that "it is a treasure place that hides wind and gathers Qi, and its shape is superior to the world."
In the tenth year of Zhenguan, Empress Wende was critically ill. On her deathbed, she told His Majesty Li Er: "Don't pay too much for your death now. And those who are buried should be hidden so that no one can see them. Since ancient times, sages have all admired frugality, but there is no such thing as frugality." The world of Tao, The mausoleum in the mountains is a waste of money for the world, but it is a joke for those who have knowledge. But please be buried in the mountains without raising a grave or using a coffin. All the necessary utensils and clothes are made of wood and tiles, and the concubine is not forgotten. ”
In compliance with Queen Wende's last words, His Majesty Li Er temporarily placed her in a newly dug grotto on Mount Jiuwei after her death, and the mausoleum was named Zhaoling. He also decided to make Zhaoling his final destination, and after his death, he would be buried with the queen, so he began to drill an underground palace in Zhaoling and began large-scale construction projects.
Today's Zhaoling Mausoleum is full of mausoleums and temples. Trees are planted on the mountains and huge ancient pines rise to the sky. Even in early winter, it is still lush and green.
It was already midnight when all the princesses arrived at Zhaoling. After getting off the bus, they washed up in the palace under the mausoleum mountain, had a simple vegetarian meal and then fell asleep.
The next morning, after washing, the princesses put on plain clothes and headed to Lingshan in order of eldest and youngest.
Zhaoling Mausoleum Mountain is surrounded by a wall, with turrets built on the four corners of the wall, and a door in the middle. The Suzaku Gate is in the south, the Xuanwu Gate is in the north, the Qinglong Gate is in the east, and the White Tiger Gate is in the west. The Zhuque Gate is located two hundred feet south of the mausoleum mountain. There are double terraces outside the gate and a sacrificial hall inside the gate.
The Zhuque Gate leads directly to the altar in front of the mausoleum. On the altar, stonemasons are carving stone statues. From a distance, they are all human-shaped. But it was His Majesty Li Er who, in order to demonstrate the martial virtue of the surrender of the barbarians during the Zhenguan period, ordered people to carve stone statues of the leaders of the Hu barbarians to record their merits.
The siege has just begun, and only four or five stone statues have been carved. The stone statues are nine feet high, all have deep eyes and big noses, and are equipped with bows and knives. They are lifelike and extremely spectacular.
It seems that for ordinary annual festivals like this, you cannot enter the mausoleum. You can only place sacrifices in the dedication hall and pay homage from a distance.
The paper-made cold clothes, shoes, hats and other ghost utensils that had been prepared were placed in the altar and burned. There were wisps of green smoke and paper ashes swirled.
At noon, the princesses had another simple lunch, then left Zhaoling together and hurried back to Chang'an City.
However, Princess Jinyang said to Princess Changle: "I have always heard that the warm soup at the foot of Jiuwei Mountain is nourishing and nourishing. My sister wants to take a dip and return to Chang'an one day later."
Princess Changle looked her up and down, and felt that this little girl seemed to have something on her mind today. She often pursed her lips and smiled mischievously. She frowned and said, "You are not up to something, are you?" (End of Chapter)< br>
