Wang Chengwei and Wang Jun returned to the Wang family, and his ancestor recognition ceremony went surprisingly smoothly.
Wang Jun's branch was originally a branch of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and they fled to Lingwu. They didn't have the pretensions of a big family in the first place.
After Wang Jun told the clan leader, his father, about the prosperity of Longyou, the clan leader of the Wang clan immediately decided to move the entire family to Wuwei City.
Anyway, no land was purchased in Lingwu, so the Wang family's decision-making can be said to be quite quick.
When I was going to Lingwu to take root, I also heard that Wang Chengwei had obtained the qualification of being a tribute student in Liangzhou Governor's Office. The head of the Wang family said on the spot that Wang Chengwei was an outstanding son of my Taiyuan Wang family!
He didn't even wait to return to Wuwei City, but directly held the ceremony for Wang Chengwei to recognize his ancestor and return to his clan in Lingwu.
He copied the three generations of Wang Chengwei's ancestors into the genealogy of the Wang family, and handed over the family law and genealogy to Wang Chengwei, thus recognizing this relative.
Now Wang Chengwei can be regarded as a member of the Wang clan in Taiyuan. After receiving the title, Wang Chengwei and Wang Jun immediately prepared to move the Wang family to Wuwei City.
The person in charge of Lingzhou now is Du Hongjian, who was left behind by Shuofang's army.
After Shuofang's military stay, he was the Conglong hero who escorted Emperor Li Heng northward to Lingwu to ascend the throne.
Today's Shuofang Jiedushi is Guo Ziyi, who presides over the war against rebellion in Wugong.
The emperor's office was moved to Fengxiang Mansion, and Du Hongjian was promoted to the position of minister of the Ministry of War and governor of Lingzhou, allowing him to stay in Lingwu and preside over the military and civil affairs in the north.
Nowadays, in several states in the north, the main army soldiers who contributed to suppressing the rebellion came from here, and the imperial court naturally attached great importance to it.
Du Hongjian was born in the Du family in Puyang. He was a Jinshi and entered the shogunate of Shuofang Army. It was because there was no free official position in the court, so he went to the border army and entered the shogunate of Jiedushi.
During the Tianbao period, Jinshi had no official position in the court, so they went to the Jiedushi to train, and then were recommended by the Jiedushi to return to the court. This was the political path of many officials.
Cen Shen of Beiting also followed the same path, including Du Fu, who also served as a judge in the Jiedushi Mansion.
Li Bai joined King Yong's army because he actually wanted to take this curved path to save the country.
Du Hongjian was not a military attaché, but he had acquired some of the habits of a military general after living in border towns for many years.
Now everyone in Lingzhou knows that the old coach Guo Ziyi will definitely not return to Lingwu City again.
Du Hongjian had made a great contribution in supporting the emperor to ascend the throne, and it was only a matter of time before he would be promoted to the throne.
Nowadays, a Lingwu faction in the imperial court has gradually taken shape. Among them, Li Guangbi and Pugu Huai'en are generals who have made great achievements in the previous counter-insurgency wars, and they will surely prosper in the future.
Du Hongjian was studying in the governor's house. On this day, his subordinates suddenly rushed in and said in a panic:
"Bingbu! Bingbu!"
After Du Hongjian was given the title of Minister of War, the whole Lingwu City called him Du Bingbu.
Du Hongjian was very strict in managing the army, and it was against his taboo for the soldiers to be so reckless.
Originally prepared to punish the soldier, Du Hongjian still held back his displeasure and said: "You are so panicked! What happened!"
The soldier also knew that he had violated a taboo, but he couldn't restrain his mood and said: "Auspicious! The Ministry of War! Someone dug out the dragon's head!"
"What!"
The book in Du Hongjian's hand also fell to the ground, Dragon Head!?
The soldier continued: "The Ministry of War! It's the head of the dragon! This is auspiciousness from heaven!"
Du Hongjian was born as a Jinshi and from a large family. He quickly realized the importance of "auspiciousness".
The current emperor ascended the throne at the Lingwu Zhuwu Color Platform, and Lingwu was closely linked to the emperor.
The auspicious discovery in Lingwu is of extraordinary significance, as it represents the destiny of the current emperor.
Du Hongjian was a scholar and did not like the idea of auspiciousness, but the connection between heaven and man was originally a Confucian thing.
Since there was such a big commotion, Du Hongjian still wanted to go take a look.
He said to his men: "Go and see!"
When Du Hongjian arrived at Ningdong Town, it was almost dark.
This is a semi-abandoned town, but it is bustling with activity at this time.
"Bring out the honor guard of the governor's office!" Du Hongjian ordered his men.
His men immediately raised the ceremonial guard of the Governor's Mansion, and finally a road was opened, and Du Hongjian led his men in.
Du Hongjian saw a huge pit, with many strings pulled in the pit, and a man squatting in the pit.
Du Hongjian immediately walked over and saw this man digging something in the land.
"Where is the dragon head?" Du Hongjian asked.
"The Ministry of War, this way!"
Du Hongjian walked over quickly, and when he saw the huge fossil dragon head, he also took a breath of cold air.
Is it a real dragon head?
Although it doesn't look much like the dragon on the scroll, what is such a huge creature skull other than a dragon?
Du Hongjian was also overjoyed. He quickly asked the people around him: "Who dug out this dragon head?"
"Go back to the military headquarters, it's the man in the pit just now."
"Ask him to come over!"
Du Hongjian quickly asked his men to invite the person who dug the dragon head over.
The one who dug out the dragon head was Zhang Tianlun who left the team and went to Ningdong Town.
Zhang Tianlun made full preparations when he came to Ningdong Town.
He checked the information from the Lingwu Dinosaur Museum and found out that the head of Lingwu Diplodocus was the first one dug out by villagers.
The dragon's head is on the edge of a mountain outside Ningdong Town, and it is not deep underground.
After Zhang Tianlun arrived in Ningdong Town, he immediately spent his money to climb the mountain, and then hired people from Ningdong to dig here.
Sure enough, it only took Zhang Tianlun three days to dig out the dragon head.
The first thing excavated was the fossilized teeth of Diplodocus.
Diplodocus was a plant-eating dinosaur with large, flat teeth. After the teeth the size of a human head were dug out, the government of Ningdong Town was immediately alarmed.
Auspicious!
The local government immediately sent additional manpower to dig out the dragon head from the foot of the mountain.
After the huge dragon head was dug out, these officials immediately reported the good news to the governor's office.
Du Hongjian looked at the dirty Zhang Tianlun and asked, "Who are you and why are you digging in Ningdong Town?"
Du Hongjian had already heard about Ma Tianlun's origins from his subordinates, and was still a little suspicious of this outsider who came to Ningdong to dig.
But such a huge dragon head couldn't be forged by Du Hongjian, right?
Zhang Tianlun took out his ultimatum and said: "This official, I am the gaijin of Longyou. I saw the rising dragon energy of Lingwu in Longyou, so I came here to dig."
Hope warrior?
Du Hongjian knew that Taoism had the so-called theory of looking forward to energy, but he originally thought that these were just Taoism's theories of strange gods with chaotic powers, but he didn't expect that he could actually dig out a dragon's head?
Zhang Tianlun said: "This dragon energy that soars to the sky turns out to be owned by this dragon skeleton. Now I have dug up the dragon head and buried the dragon body under the earth."
And a dragon body!?
Du Hongjian became even more excited.
Is there a dragon body?
The dragon head is so huge, so how huge should the dragon body be?
What auspiciousness it is for such a giant dragon skeleton to be unearthed in Lingwu!
Du Hongjian quickly realized the value of this giant dragon's bones.
"How many manpower do you need? How long will it take to dig it out?" Du Hongjian asked.
"Two to three hundred people, but just digging it out is not enough. It will take longer to piece this giant dragon together." Zhang Tianlun knew that the skeleton of this Diplodocus was more than 20 meters long and more than ten meters long.
meters high. In this era without large-scale lifting machinery, it would take a lot of effort to repair such a Diplodocus skeleton.
"Take three hundred elites from Shuofang's army and dig the dragon bones for Master Zhang!"
Zhang Tianlun was secretly happy that he finally caught this big fish!
The reason why Zhang Tianlun dug the faucet first was to alarm the local officials.
Excavation of the dragon's bones is such an auspicious sign that the local government cannot ignore it.
At this time, Zhang Tianlun was working as a prostitute for the local government, but he did not expect that he would immediately attract high-ranking officials like Du Hongjian and directly dispatch people from Shuofang's army to assist him in the excavation.
In this way, it is estimated that the complete Diplodocus skeleton will be excavated soon!
Du Hongjian looked at the huge Diplodocus skull and immediately said to his subordinates: "I want to write a memorial to report auspiciousness to Your Majesty!"
Through the eight-hundred-mile rush to report urgent military information, the news that Lingwu had unearthed the dragon's bones was delivered to Fengxiang Mansion in only five days.
Because the message was sent through the emergency military information station of the Ministry of War, at first the emperor thought something had happened on the border.
Prime Minister Cui Yuan, who was writing in the political hall that day, did not dare to neglect and immediately submitted it to the emperor.
Li Heng was also very surprised when he saw the memorial presented by Du Hongjian.
Dragon bones?
Doesn't the discovery of the dragon bones in Lingwu mean that I am the emperor chosen by God?
You know, the biggest problem in Li Heng's heart is the matter of Lingwu's ascension to the throne.
When Li Heng ascended the throne, the emperor had not yet abdicated. Although the emperor later announced his abdication in Shu, there was always a feeling that the throne was unfairly obtained.
On the one hand, Li Heng needed to respect the emperor and accept the prime ministers and ministers he appointed and dismissed recommended by the emperor.
On the one hand, we must be gentle with the courtiers and not always bring the emperor out to make trouble.
The fact that Du Hongjian discovered auspiciousness and the skeleton of a giant dragon in Lingwu was not just as simple as auspiciousness.
Rather, it was related to whether Emperor Li Heng was granted imperial power by heaven and whether he was favored by heaven.
Du Hongjian was originally an old friend of the current emperor when he was the crown prince, and it was Du Hongjian who persuaded the emperor to go north to Lingwu during the Maweipo mutiny.
Now that dragon bones are found in Lingzhou, even the emperor feels something strange.
Could it be that Du Hongjian forged the auspiciousness and deliberately flattered the court?
But Du Hongjian is not such a person, right?
Sure enough, when the news came out that the auspicious dragon carcass was discovered in Lingzhou, the already chaotic Lingwu Dynasty situation became even more chaotic.
Yan Zhenqing, the imperial censor, took the lead in writing a letter to impeach the Minister of War. After Shuofang's army was retained, Du Hongjian, the governor of Lingzhou, forged auspicious signs and flattered the emperor.
On that day, Wei Jiansu, the prime minister of Bingbi Zhengshitang, issued a letter to Zhengshitang in the name of Zhengshitang, asking Lingwu to explain in detail the process of discovering auspiciousness to Zhengshitang.
Because of this auspicious event, the court was once again in trouble.
