The Heaven Sacrifice Tower is located in the east of the city outside the Imperial City. It was left by the previous emperor to worship the Heaven. The entire hilltop was leveled, and only a Heaven Sacrifice Tower and a few resting palaces were built on the mountain.
At the foot of the mountain is the royal temple Jokhang Temple. To go to the Tiantai, you have to enter from the Jokhang Temple and then climb up from the back mountain to reach the Tiantai.
You still have to climb up this mountaineering ladder yourself.
The mountaineering ladder is not very high. It only takes an ordinary person a quarter of an hour (15 minutes) to climb up. However, most of the officials and family members of the Imperial City are pampered. They stop and go on the way. It takes about a stick of incense to reach the top of the mountain.
(30 minutes) to half an hour (1 hour).
When the Xie family's carriage stopped in front of the Jokhang Temple, many people had already arrived. After the monks of the Jokhang Temple checked the list according to each temple, they released the people, and the coachman hurriedly drove the carriage to park.
The place for carriages, so as not to block the gate.
The Xie family entered the gate of the Jokhang Temple together and then divided into two teams. Mr. Xie and Xie Yian and Xie Yizhen took their young sons to go climbing with their colleagues, while Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu followed Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie also met several ladies, two or three of whom were the wives of Xie Yian's students, and they happened to be hiking together. However, since today was not the time to talk, the group said hello and said nothing.
.
They all kept their heads down and climbed the mountaineering road.
At this time, the sky was just getting bright, and the sun had not yet come out. There was mountain fog lingering on the mountain, and there was also mountain fog lingering on the hiking trail. It was slowly dissipating with the sun and wind.
From time to time, the sound of bells is heard on the mountain, one after another, as if it is the mysterious sound of Dharma from ancient times, which makes the people who climb the mountain calm down, and when climbing the mountain, their hearts are full of sincerity.
The mountain road winds upward, and the people on the steps are walking up step by step. That step by step is the way to worship.
Xie Yixiao followed Mrs.
There are bells ringing on the mountain, birds flying around in the forest and chirping, the wind blows, and the mist surrounding the mountain forest curls away.
Before climbing the mountain, she still had some unknown anxiety in her heart, but now she had completely calmed down, and like many others, she walked up with a pious heart.
After nearly half an hour, the group of people reached the top of the mountain, and were led to the palace to rest by the palace maiden who led the way. The three of them were still in good physical condition. They took two breaks, and now they were only out of breath.
Standing on the mountain at this time, you can see high towers and palaces. The ground is covered with bluestone tiles. The bright sunlight is shining down, making everything bright, and all evil spirits have retreated.
"Let's go, let's rest for a while." Mrs. Xie took a breath, and then followed the leading monk to the palace to rest. When His Majesty came, she followed him to the Tiantian Terrace to worship.
When they arrived at the temple, a monk brought tea. After drinking the tea, the ladies and girls breathed a sigh of relief, and then started chatting in low voices.
The resting palaces are also divided. Those who are here are those who are officials of the third rank or above. Those with royal titles, such as the palace of the prince, the duke's palace, and the marquis' mansion are in other places. Those who are below the third rank are arranged separately.
However, these officials and their masters had colleagues who got along well with each other, and others who had different views and opinions, so they worked on their own and ignored each other.
This is also the Double Ninth Festival, so you can't cause trouble. If it were any other time, you might have to come and go, and you would end up in a weird way.
Whose family today has not been told by their elders that no matter what grudges they had in the past, they must not cause trouble today. If they dare to cause trouble today, then they are really seriously ill.
Mrs. Xie closed her eyes and rested. Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu sat beside her, quietly. Xie Yixiao lowered his head and looked at the tea on the table with clear and soft eyes.
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a sudden argument outside, and the people in the hall suddenly fell silent, wondering if she was hallucinating something.
Xie Yixiao's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly remembered that there was really a serious illness in the Changning Marquis Mansion.
She does not believe in gods and Buddhas, and despises the feudal dynasty. She feels that this is just the case. The Double Ninth Festival, which people in the world think should be solemn and solemn, seems to her to be nothing.
"Why are you stepping on my feet?"
"Did I step on you? Who told you to talk nonsense."
"Why am I talking nonsense? Am I not congratulating Miss Gu on finding a good marriage? Why have I offended you? Is it possible that this is a lie?"
"I remember it was the Changning Marquis Mansion who personally announced that you had finally found someone with the right destiny and you could marry him."
Gu You's face turned ugly: "Shut up."
"It seems that Miss Gu is dissatisfied with this marriage, but there is nothing we can do. We finally found a person with a compatible destiny, so we can only marry her. Otherwise, we will be a widow for the rest of our lives."
After saying that, the man walked away, so angry that Gu You's entire face turned blue and black, making him look very ugly.
The person who came was none other than Shen Mingzhu, the legitimate daughter of the Shen family of the Beiting Hou Mansion. Princess Huainan came from the Shen family, and the Shen family was the most trusted subordinate of Prince Zhaoming. That day, Prince Zhaoming led troops to Chongyang Pass. The Shen family
So he stayed to protect Prince Zhaoming's only heir.
Shen Mingzhu is also the cousin of King Huainan and the daughter-in-law of Princess Shen.
If Xie Yixiao were standing here, he would know that Shen Mingzhu is another vicious female supporting character in the book. Relying on the identity of the Shen family and the relationship with Concubine Shen, she has added countless details to the love story between King Huainan and Gu You.
tile.
When King Huainan and Gu You finally reconciled and planned to get married, Shen Mingzhu hated Gu You so much that she sent people to arrest Gu You and destroy Gu You's innocence. In the end, Gu You was rescued and exposed.
After discovering what she had done, King Huainan sent someone to send her to the military camp to be a prostitute.
It was probably because enemies were extremely jealous when they met, so when Shen Mingzhu saw Gu You, she couldn't help but do something, at least a few sarcastic words to make the other party unhappy.
Gu You was very angry when she saw the other party walking away. At this time, she was the only one with Zhou. Jiang was older and walked slower, so she asked Gu Ying and Gu Yan to help her walk slowly.
Seeing her like this, Mrs. Zhou couldn't help but said: "Today is the Double Ninth Festival, please be patient and don't argue with her."
Gu You was very angry: "Is it possible that she can only treat me like this, and I can't treat her like this?"
Zhou said dumbly: "She is the daughter of the Shen family of Beitinghou."
"So what?" Even if she is a princess, she cannot bully others like this, right? Do you really think she is a fool?
"The Shen family is the old tribe of Prince Zhaoming and the ancestral family of King Huainan."
