Chapter Eleven Taimiao Sacrifice

The Ancestral Temple of the Liu Family in Dai Viet, also known as the Ancestral Temple. Like Liu Heng’s previous life, the people of Dai Viet in this life also have the tradition of being cautious and pursuing the future. Moreover, the specific regulations of the ancestral temple are very similar to those of the previous Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, and they also respect the "Seven Emperors"

temple, five temples of princes, three temples of great officials

,Shiyi Temple". Many important state activities will also be held in the Ancestral Temple. For example, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will worship his ancestors, meet with ministers, and receive jade seals in the Ancestral Temple, which is called "Tiao Jian". This represents the new emperor's visit to the Ancestral Temple.

The emperor formally controlled the state power, which also represented the rationality of political rights.

Of course, today Liu Heng and Liu Chang simply worshiped their ancestors, proving that they have grown up and become adults and can take charge of their own affairs.

Liu Heng and Liu Chang arrived at the entrance of the ancestral temple. The little chamberlain at the door said to them: "Your Highness, Twelve Highnesses, Your Highness, Thirteenth Highness, Your Majesty has asked your two Highnesses to enter the temple on their own." After saying this, he bowed and left.

Liu Heng said to Liu Chang to save his face: "Let's go. Father, let us enter the temple by ourselves. Brother Twelve Emperors, please go first."

Liu Chang laughed loudly and said: "You're welcome as a brother, I'll go first." Liu Heng heard Liu Chang's laughter with a black question mark on his face, and thought to himself: "Damn it, I just go first."

That’s all, what the hell is there to be so proud of?”

The system heard Liu Heng's inner thoughts and said in confusion: "Your twelve brother may have been kicked by a donkey when he was a child and has a hole in his head. This system is so knowledgeable and talented, but it can't understand the reason for his laughter."

Liu Heng did not answer the system's words, but followed Liu Chang's footsteps into the temple.

Entering the temple, Liu Heng saw several silhouettes and a large number of palace maids and chamberlains. The leading figure from behind may have heard the footsteps of Liu Chang and Liu Heng, and said, "You two are finally here. You came a little slowly."

Liu Heng and Liu Chang quickly bowed to the figure and said, "Father, are you well?"

The leader's figure turned back to Dao Sheng Gong'an, slowly turned around, and took a closer look. It was none other than the most noble and supreme man in Dai Viet - the Emperor - Liu Zhi. The other figures also turned around.

Come, Liu Heng saw their faces clearly one by one. They are the ninth prince Zhao Wang Liu Ying, the third prince Liu Zhuang and the Huainan king Liu Zhi.

When Liu Heng saw the other two princes, he thought that except for his ninth brother Liu Ying, the other two princes were "legends walking in the Dai Viet Dynasty."

In the eyes of the ministers, the third prince Liu Zhuang and the thirteenth prince Liu Heng were two giant oddities and ncs among the princes of the Dai Viet Dynasty. They also made their own decisions to abolish the imperial scriptures and withdraw from this imperial competition. The difference is that Liu

Heng's third brother Liu Zhuang can be said to be the most cultivated among all the princes.

Xing Gen Gu is the best. He is already at the peak of the Blood Moving Realm at the age of sixteen, and the reason why he is stuck in the acquired realm is just because of insufficient dragon energy. As long as he is crowned king, Liu Zhuang will be able to succeed

He has entered the innate world. However, his third brother directly revoked his Qingdi Wooden Dragon Sutra in public during the kingship ceremony. At that time, the emperor Liu Zhiqi even withdrew the title of prince just given.

You must know that Jun Wuxi said this

It's not a joke. The emperor was so angry that he threw Liu Zhuang to the border and made him a leading soldier. Liu Zhuang's mother clan was not allowed to help. However, the emperor only recovered the prince's title and did not give him any help.

Liu Zhuang's status as prince was abolished in the royal family. Then, in the following twenty years, Liu Zhuang fought from a big-headed soldier to a general of Yamen, and became the lowest rank in the general sequence. Liu Heng can only say my inspirational bitterness here.

What a tough third brother.

As for the other eighth prince, Liu Zhi, King of Huainan, his mother was not as good as Liu Heng's biological mother. He was just a talented person. Legend has it that on a dark and windy night, the old emperor Liu Zhi was criticizing the memorial, and the criticism was very boring.

, or in other words, very angry. Suddenly, he got interested and favored a palace maid. As a result, he got into the soul and made the palace maid pregnant with a dragon fetus. Therefore, Liu Heng's myna came into being.

His mother also succeeded in becoming a talented person because of the high status of mother and son. Although Liu Zheng's mother's status was a bit low, he was not very favored by the emperor and was only named a two-character king. However, Liu Zheng's

He has outstanding abilities and is deeply loved by the "people of Huainan" and ministers, especially the "common people" of aristocratic families. He is called the "Eight Wise King". However, Liu Heng once asserted with the system that the title of "Eight Wise King" is correct.

This is Liu Zhi's method of death.

The emperor said to the old pig: "Okay, no need to talk nonsense, let's start the sacrifice." The emperor's words interrupted Liu Heng's thoughts. Liu Heng quickly came back to his senses and stopped thinking.

Just listen to the old pig respectfully reply: "Here."

Then, the old pig shouted: "The sacrifice has begun, read the blessings."

Emperor Liu Zhi took the lead in kneeling down, followed by Liu Heng and several princes.

A young eunuch came out and read the blessing in his hand loudly: "Dayue calendar, one thousand five hundred and twenty-one years, Qian first year, September 9th, the fifth Emperor of Dayue, the filial son Sun Zhi dared to declare.

The ancestors said: The years are passing by, and the order of the festival is renewed. Pepper flowers are used to offer praises, and cypress leaves are used to make inscriptions. Although the sound and appearance are far away, they repay the true love. I would like to make sacrifices to support the wealth.

………………

Now it is determined that twelve sons will grow up, and thirteen sons will grow until they are eighteen years old, and they will be responsible for their own affairs.

Warning."

After the young eunuch recited the congratulatory message, the old pig said loudly: "The ceremony is the best, the sacrifice is the best."

The little eunuchs received the instructions from the old pig, carried up the offerings to the ancestors, and placed them next to the giant cauldron.

At this time, Liu Heng became interested. He must know that in his previous life, this ancient sacrifice had long since disappeared. He looked at the sacrifices. First of all, what caught his eye was "Tailao", which simply means three pigs, cattle and sheep.

The pig is a big white pig that has been scalded. It is still alive, hanging upside down under the pole, and it is still humming. The cow is a big green cow with a majestic head. If you have to say that there is something special, then

It may be a farm cow. The sheep is a black goat. Liu Heng said that he has never seen a black goat in real life. Regarding these three animals, Liu Heng said that I will make a blind guess. It's awesome.

It's a monster.

Then, there were several little eunuchs holding trays covered with red cloth in their hands. Liu Heng was a little bit jealous when he saw this scene. If these little eunuchs were replaced by beautiful ladies, it would be completely different.

Just like the etiquette lady in her previous life, she is pleasing to the eye.

The emperor stood up and lifted up the red cloth on the trays. Under the red cloth were grains, millet, beans, hemp, wheat, rice, and several pieces of jade silk and jade ritual vessels. The emperor respectfully said

Place the jade ritual utensils on the altar, then wave to the old pig and kneel down.

The old pig understood and said loudly: "Sacrifice." After hearing what the old pig said, Liu Heng breathed a sigh of relief. You know, in the past life, there was a form of human sacrifice. Fortunately, there is no such thing in this life.

It's a bad habit, otherwise he wouldn't know how to deal with himself.

Several little eunuchs carried the pigs, cattle and sheep into the big cauldron. The pig seemed to know its fate and began to struggle crazily and groaned loudly. But no one present was in the mood to take care of it.

The little grain eunuchs also poured the grain into the big cauldron.

Then, the old pig signaled to light the fire, and the little eunuchs obeyed. After a while, the aroma of barbecue filled the whole house. Liu Heng smelled the aroma of meat, his stomach growled, and he couldn't help but swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva. Emperor Liu Zhi heard

The voice spoke and glanced at him without missing a trace.

The old pig loudly announced: "When the ceremony is over, burn the blessings." A young eunuch took the blessings from the old pig's hand and lit the blessings with fire. When the blessings were burned out, the old pig preached: "The ceremony is over."

Wan helped the emperor to stand up and stood behind Emperor Liu Zhi in an orderly manner.

The emperor said to several princes and Liu Heng: "Third, eighth, and ninth follow me back to the palace; little twelve and thirteen, please continue to kneel until Shen Shi sets off back to Xuanwu Gate." After that, he led them.

Then the older princes left.

Liu Heng and Liu Chang hurriedly said while kneeling: "Farewell to my father."
