Yunyue past events

Chapter 87

Zhao Ling stepped into the hall wearing a black dress. His clothes today are more solemn than in the past. The brocade robe is gorgeous and restrained, and the light makes it radiant. There was a clanging sound, causing all the civil and military officials in the entire hall to look sideways.

The brocade clothes made by the best weaving workshop in Rongguo are worn by Zhao Ling; the swords made by the best swordsmiths are worn on him; the jade wares made by the best jade craftsmen are hung on his waist between……

Expensive.

In Rongguo, Zhaoling's status is second only to Rongguo's monarch.

Walking up to the ruler of Rongguo, Zhaoling knelt down at the feet of the monarch, and slowly raised his head.

Officials who are not familiar with Gong Ziling will find that he is so young and handsome, and cannot help but want to take a second look.

The monarch said: "The widow's brothers all have fiefdoms, but Ah Ling has not. Ah Ling and the widow are the best friends. How can I forget you?"

The monarch signaled his ministers to hold out the jade book. He glanced at the ministers, his eyes finally fell on Zhao Ling, and he said loudly, "Young Master Ling."

Zhaoling responded, "The minister is here."

The voice of the monarch was majestic and resounding: "I enfeoff you as the Lord of Yunshui, enfeoff the land of Yunshui City, and order you to guard the south!"

When the word "Yunshui City" came out of the mouth of the monarch, the ministers' murmurs of discussion immediately came from the hall.

Most of the ministers were surprised, but they only dared to whisper rather than express their opposition.

Yunshui City is the capital of Yunyue Kingdom. Even though Yunyue has been exterminated for more than ten years, Yunshui City is still an extremely important place, it is located in the heart of Yunyue's old place.

The monarch even subdivided Yunshui City!

Although this entrusted person is the same mother and younger brother of the monarch.

What surprised the minister was the monarch's sentence "Order you to guard the south".It means that Gong Ziling will have to guard Yunshui City in the future, and he will not be able to lead all the officials. He will be the Ling Yin (Prime Minister) of Rong Guo.

The minister was in a state of shock, and couldn't help but glance at Gong Ziling, seeing that his face was very calm.

The monarch and Young Master Ling have always been close, and the monarch had already told Young Master Ling privately before announcing the news in front of all the officials.

The minister held the jade book in front of Zhao Ling, Zhao Ling stretched out both hands to catch it, and replied: "Yes!"

Hold the jade book firmly, this is not a heavy item, but it is as heavy as a thousand weights to Zhao Ling, the monarch almost handed Yun Yue into his hands.

Seeing that Gong Ziling took the jade book, the minister no longer lost his composure because of surprise, only sighed.

The monarch of the state did not suspect Gong Ziling, so he gave Yunshui City, the former capital of Yunyue Kingdom, to Gong Ziling, and Gong Ziling gave up Ling Yin's official position and voluntarily guarded Yunshui City for the sake of the country.

Yunyue's hometown is very important to Rongguo, not only because Yunyue has the largest and best mine in the world - Zitong Mountain, Yunyue is also a granary.

As long as Yunyue is governed well, Rongguo will no longer have to worry about lack of food and people. As long as Yunyue is governed well, Rongguo will have the confidence to dominate the world.

Holding the jade book in both hands, Zhao Ling stepped aside. He stood in the first place among the ministers.

Every generation of Lingyin in Rongguo is almost the younger brother of King Rong.

The ministers knew that Gong Ziling would be Lord Yunshui from now on, and it was impossible to guess who Rongguo Ling Yin would be.

After the court meeting was over, Zhao Ling and Wei Ping walked together, his jade book was held by the monarch's servant, who followed him step by step.

Wei Ping asked: "My parents are not far away, I wonder which minister Yunshui will send to govern Yunshui City?"

His parents were not far away, and Zhaoling's father had died of illness, and he was talking about his mother, Mrs. Xu Ji.After a hundred years from Mrs. Xu Ji, Zhaoling could leave Yindu and settle in the fiefdom.

Zhao Ling said: "This man is my disciple, Dr. Wei knows him, his name is Wei Yong'an."

The former prince is already the king of the country, and Wei Ping, the former prince's retainer, is already a senior official of Rongguo.

When Wei Ping heard that it was Wei Yong'an, he smiled and said: "It really is him! A while ago, Lord Yunshui presented the King's Ten Strategies for Yunyue, and Wei Qing must be the chief writer."

Zhaoling said, "It's him."

The Ten Strategies of Yunyue are the ten policy articles for governing Yunyue. Some of these ten policy articles have been adopted by the monarch.

After talking with Wei Ping, Zhaoling boarded the carriage and headed to his own mansion. The king's imperial attendant was still holding the jade book that conferred Zhaoling by the monarch.

Several court attendants followed behind Zhaoling's carriage, and the officials on the road gave way one after another. Those who are not very familiar with the court system might think that the emperor is sitting in the carriage.

Watching Zhao Ling leave, Wei Ping sighed with emotion: "There are countless princes in various countries. In terms of virtuousness and loyalty, there are few people who can compare with Gongzi Ling. It's a pity..."

It's a pity that Gong Ziling is unwilling to take up the post of Ling Yin.

With the temperament of the monarch, if no more suitable candidate than Gong Ziling can be found, the position of Ling Yin will be vacant.

The two maids took off the sword from Zhaoling's waist and the jade pendant on her body, and one of the maids held the jade pendant and said with a smile, "Mr. Yunshui's attire looks like a big wedding today."

The maids have served Zhaoling for many years, and they were happy that Zhaoling was named Lord Yunshui. They were familiar with each other on weekdays, so they dared to joke with Zhaoling.

Today, Zhaoling was enshrined, and her clothes were extravagant. This kind of attire is rare on weekdays. No wonder the maid thinks of a big wedding.

Zhao Ling sat down, with a bronze mirror in front of him. He looked at himself in the mirror. It was a young man with picturesque eyebrows and eyes. The dress he was wearing was as gorgeous as a wedding dress. like a groom.

Zhaoling said: "Don't talk nonsense, take off the crown and put down the bun."

One of the two maids carefully took off the gauze crown decorated with beads, and the other gently pulled off the red beard tied in a bun, and released Zhaoling's black hair.

With long hair draped over his shoulders, the handsome and proud man in the bronze mirror instantly became soft and gentle.

After taking off the beautiful and wide robe, he took off layers of clothes. Zhao Ling only wore close-fitting clothes. His figure looked particularly slender and thin.

When Zhao Ling wore long hair and walked into the steamy and smoky bathroom, his youthful appearance could be vaguely seen from his back.

The time of youth has long passed away, and the attendant who used to be by his side, almost inseparable, is also a thing of the past.

Zhao Ling stepped into the bath, and the warm bath water flooded his ankles, then his knees, half of his body, he lay down, let the water completely cover his neck and face.

With eyes closed and breath held, a familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, a handsome and haggard face with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a chin covered with stubble.

The last time Zhao Ling saw Yue Qian, he looked like this.

In the Nanyi water where the reeds swayed, they met for the last time, and that was already a year ago.

The water splashed, half of Zhaoling leaned out of the water, and the water flowed like a pillar, flowing down from his face, hair, and clothes. When he opened his eyes, a stream of clear water slid down from the corners of his eyes, like clear tears.

Occasionally, I still think of diving, occasionally, not often.

After wiping off the water stains on his face, Zhao Ling lay on his back in the bathtub, taking a comfortable bath, resting with his eyes closed, but he didn't notice a beam of sunlight coming in from the high window of the bathroom and sprinkled on him.

Zhaoling's white silk robe blooms in the water like wings, and the person and the robe shine brightly in the sunset, like a phoenix bird.

The steaming hot spring is filled with water mist, and when the first ray of sunset glow appears in the sky, the glow and mist blend together, creating a dreamlike feeling.

Yue Qian took off all the clothes on his body and stepped into the hot spring pool. The pool was surrounded by several witches, and they stood aside with various items in their hands.

These items include spices, accessories, and more clothing.

The hot spring is located inside the cave. In addition to the sunlight coming in from a large round hole on the stone wall, several bright lamps are lit in the cave for illumination.

The big round hole is obviously not formed naturally, it is actually an eye, the eye of a green snake carved in stone.

If you look at the Green Snake Stone Carvings from the outside of the cave, you will find that it is a huge coiled green snake with long horns on its head and a mane on its back. It is the emblem of the Yunyue royal family.

The place where Yueqian is at the moment is the bathroom on the left side of the Qingwang Temple—a place specially for King Yunyue to bathe before offering sacrifices.

The temperature of the hot spring is much higher than the warm water for bathing in ordinary times. It will make people's skin red, and hot sweat will continue to ooze from the pores.

There are many old wounds on Yue Qian's body, soaked in the hot spring, the wounds seem to have ants crawling, reminding him of these scars that are usually ignored.

Arrow wounds, sword wounds, whip wounds...

Shrouded in clouds and mist, Yue Qian's past seems to pass by:

When he was young, he was subjugated and was captured by the Rong soldiers. He was almost put on the sacrificial altar; by luck, he survived, embarked on a difficult journey, and was sent to Rong Guoyuan as a slave.

Grow in hunger and cold, learn patience in whipping, and be filled with hatred in despair.

The mad buffalo, the young slave who fought with wild beasts, his body was stained red with blood, exhausted.

At the time of crisis, a young prince of Rongguo appeared with a green arrow on his back. He pulled the bowstring and shot three arrows at the bison, saving the life of the young slave;

That is a proud, beautiful little son of Rongguo.

Yue Qian accompanied him, watching him grow up gradually, from a young boy, to a teenager, to an adult.

Young Master Ling.

Yue Qian closed his eyes and stretched out a hand in the mist, as if touching someone's face.

The hands are empty and empty.

Put your hands on your chest, dive deeper and hold your breath, and submerge in the water.

This is part of the ritual, where he needs to be submerged in the water three times and out of the water three times, symbolizing the cleansing of all distracting thoughts on his body.

Purify the body, purify the soul.

The third time he poked his head out of the water, Yueqian opened his eyes and got up slowly. He stepped on the stone steps to leave the hot spring. In the heavy mist, Wu Ji helped him put on his clothes.

Yunyue's attire is different from Rongguo's. Yunyue male nobles will wear a one-sleeve robe.

This robe has sleeves on the right arm but not on the left.

On Yueqian's left arm, Wu Ji wears a gold armband—the snake-shaped armband of the Yunyue royal family, which is a symbol of status.

In addition to the one-sleeved gown, a large and gorgeous brocade robe is worn. The left side of the brocade robe has no belt, and is decorated with buttons made of gold and jade.

This is a very distinctive king's robe of Yunyue, with an ancient style, and it can be seen on the mottled murals of the Qingwang Temple.

After putting on the robes, the crown is followed by a bun, then a serpentine crown made of bronze white jade and turquoise, and then a bronze sword with a golden sheath on the side.

After dressing up, standing in front of Yunyue Wu Ji was a heroic and resolute King Yunyue. He was very young, as if he had just inherited the throne from his father.

It seems that he has never been displaced, has never been reduced to a slave, and has never experienced arduous battles.

If you look at this young king carefully, you will find scars on his face, the vicissitudes between his brows and eyes, and the eyes are as deep as abysses.

"My lord, the auspicious day has arrived."

Chang's father was wearing the uniform of Yunyue official, his face was full of joy, and he came to Yueqian to report.

A large number of people gathered in the corridor, they were Yunyue officials in costumes, and the officials were looking forward to it, waiting for the monarch to come out.

Fighting all day long, many military officers are slovenly, and today they tidy up, all of them are very mighty.

People wondered what their great king would look like in royal robes.

Yue Qian nodded to Chang's father, indicating that he understood.

A set of jade is tied around Yueqian's waist. Yunyue's set of jade is the same as Rongguo's set of jade, but the shape has regional characteristics.

King Yunyue's costume was finally put on, and the witches around Yueqian retreated in an orderly manner.

Yue Qian stepped forward and walked towards the exit, the long sleeves of the royal robe fluttered, and the jade on his body clanged.

The people waiting outside immediately looked towards the source of the sound. They consciously stepped out of the way and bowed to salute one after another. They didn't dare to look directly, but looked sideways.

Waiting for Yue Qian to go far away, Yue Wazi tugged Feng Xian's sleeves beside him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty looks so good today!"

Just as Feng Xian was about to ask Yue Wazi to keep quiet, Feng Boyi had already glared at Yue Wazi.

Everyone around him was serious and dignified, Yue Wazi put away his childish nature and dared not speak out.

Qingwang Temple is a sacred place, usually very few people are allowed to enter the temple, today is an exception, only on the day when the king ascends the throne, will the ministers be allowed to enter the temple.

At this time, it was already dark, and there were countless torches on the long corridor, which was dark and dark at the end.

Yue Qian and Wu Ji walked through the corridor and disappeared at the end. They entered the main hall, and the accompanying people also passed through the corridor, following the people in front of them.

The cave is tall and deep, and the top is like a sky. People are full of awe and keep silent, with only the sound of footsteps and the rustling of clothes in their ears.

People who enter Qingwang Temple for the first time will feel very shocked.

When the eyes got used to the darkness, a beam of moonlight suddenly entered the eyes, and that beam of moonlight happened to hit a huge and majestic stone statue of King Qing in the center of the main hall.

Being in the depths of the cave, the moonlight should not be able to illuminate the entire main hall, but the surrounding area is not dark. If you look up, you will find hundreds of oil lamps hanging above the stone statue, making the dark top of the cave like a starry sky.

Yue Qian walked to the altar and took a sacrificial knife from the old man who presided over the sacrifice. He cut the index finger of his left hand with the sacrificial knife and dripped the blood into a terracotta cup.

Lao Ji fetched a green snake, cut a knife on the green snake's forehead, dripped the snake's blood into a red pottery cup, and mixed it with Yue Qian's blood.

The terracotta cup was handed to Yueqian again, Yueqian stretched out his finger to smear the blood on his own lips, this was the ceremony of blood alliance between man and god.

The object of drinking blood is the green snake, which symbolizes the green king.

The old man also stretched out his finger, dipped blood from the cup, and smeared the blood on the green snake's lips.

After the blood-drawing ceremony, the witches chanted in unison, and the ancient sacrificial songs echoed in the Qingwang Temple.

After the sacrificial song stopped, Lao Ji took out a large lacquer plate and presented it to Yue Qian. Inside the lacquer plate was a jade axe that symbolized royal power.

Yue Qian clings to the jade axe, looking up at the tall stone statue of the Qing King beside him, the Qing King in the stone statue is also holding a huge stone axe in his hand.

When Yue Qian held on to the jade axe, everyone knelt down one after another, including all the witches who sang sacrificial songs, and the old man who gave Yue Qian the jade axe.

Yue Qian turned around slowly, facing the official Yunyue who was kneeling on the ground, he raised the jade ax over his shoulders, his posture and demeanor both resembled the stone statue of King Qing behind him.

They seem to be one.

People were very excited and shouted in unison: "Qing Wang!"

For the people of Yunyue, Yue Qian is the reincarnated Qing King.

The author has something to say: Director: It seems that there must be another chapter to complete the ancient chapter.

The last chapter of Tomorrow's More Ancient Chapter.
