After Shao Song

Chapter 106 The Rules of the Underworld and the New Year
As we all know, China has worshiped ancestors during the Chinese New Year since ancient times. From the emperor to the common people, the underworld stipulated that except for ghosts who went to hell, both descendants and believers can receive the sacrifices themselves.However, this custom is a bit embarrassing here in Wangcheng.

Without him, think about it when the dynasty was prosperous. Every New Year, there would be mountains of pigs and pigs falling on the roof of your house, especially the founder of the country.If you are not careful, it may be buried - don't laugh, Liu Bang had such an experience. His son Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty Liu Heng had no choice but to summon a few obedient descendants to dig it out for him - Emperor Hui of the Han Dynasty Liu Ying During his reign, it was because his mother, Empress Lu, made the decision, that he didn't come here at all and went directly to reincarnation.This is also allowed. Why should you be responsible for the world when you are just a puppet?

But once the dynasty is extinct, the better descendants will be reduced to common people, and there will be fewer sacrifices.Those who are unlucky will be exterminated directly - they will have nothing, just to see that the neighbor's sacrifices can't be eaten, which is very irritating.

In the past, in Xiaoyitong Town, the Sima family and the Cao family could coexist peacefully because the sacrifices of the Cao family could be preserved. However, the descendants of the Sima family were all killed by Liu Yu, the founding king of the Southern Song Dynasty. It was extremely difficult for them to reconcile. Liu Yu No matter how good Liu Yu is in fighting, he can't compare to the dozens of people in his family who can set traps for you in all directions and anytime, and his children and grandchildren can't stop him. This hatred will not be over until Liu Yu himself is extinct.

But having said that, although these ancient emperors were imprisoned and could not be reincarnated, there was a time limit based on their performance. For example, Emperor Han Wen, who had no mistakes and no human life, could naturally go out to practice Taoism after the end of the dynasty, and travel freely in the world. For example, an emperor like Yang Jian who has merits and mistakes but has less influence in later generations can choose to reincarnate or stay after the fall of the Tang Dynasty. However, if it is Yang Guang, what awaits him is going to hell. Don’t ask, just ask. Ask him about the unjust souls he caused by conquering Goryeo and overhauling the canal regardless of national strength.

Of course, this is not the worst. For example, Hu Hai of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Yu's own animal descendants, would never come to live here. After the ancestors were beaten, they went straight to the eighteenth floor of hell.

The last type is people such as Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi and Tang Taizong, whose influence is too great, and it is difficult to liquidate their merits and demerits, so they are permanently deprived of their reincarnation qualifications. They are doing some small business in the underworld - but they won't go. People who have been emperors for thousands of years have no face.

All the emperors who are now staying in the underworld once agreed that the current emperor Zhao Jiu, who did not have a posthumous title, must belong to the last type or the first type.

Later, everyone speculated that Zhao Jiu might be able to get the underworld to set up a separate breed for him: because this emperor or official was so unconventional.

Have you ever seen an emperor who only went to the imperial mausoleum to worship once in his 13 years of reign, and it was only to change his father?It was not the precarious time of the first two years of his reign.

And every new year, the old Zhao family will be ridiculed openly or secretly, because although their dynasty has not died, the official Zhao family has never worshiped their ancestors. .However, no matter how conscientious Zhao Huangshu is, the one who worships the emperor can only be the emperor, and he doesn't want to seek death, so he can only burn some paper money according to his title and put roast goose on it to worship the ancestors of the emperors.What is Zhao Guan's family doing at this time?Taking the Spring Festival of Jianyan’s 13th year as an example, he taught fellow husbands how to cook donkey meat in the military camp in Taiyuan. Taking the Spring Festival of Jianyan’s [-]th year as an example, he talked with craftsmen who insisted on inventing in the laboratory—even though he had already I know that the ancestors underground are very satisfied with him.

As for the other clans of Taizong's lineage, they suffered hardships in the north but were unable to do so. After returning, they were all stripped of their titles and salaries. Although they were powerful, they were very meager, and they could only simply fry some dried fish for sacrifice.Therefore, every time Zhao Guangyi saw the gap between his own family and his brother's family, he would get angry - as Zhao Kuangyin was the founder of the country, he was the first to receive sacrifices from the emperor, and his descendants were much better off than his younger brother.When the New Year comes, Queen He has to clean up the house all day long, and then distributes it to the queens she has befriended. After Jingkang was humiliated, Zhao Kuangyin strictly prohibited her from giving any more threads to any of her younger brother's descendants. Zhao Xu could only shamelessly do so. If you ask for something from your ancestors, others will only get beaten.Everyone is dead, and there is no rule not to spank children during the Chinese New Year.

This year is a little different. First of all, as the "parents" of the current emperor, Zhezong Zhao Xu and Meng Ruji made many more sacrifices. Meng Ruji, who was new to the country, almost cried out of fear. It was Empress He Zhen who told her the rules to calm her down. .There were too many things in Taizu's house, so Song Yun, who had been concentrating on practicing Taoism, had to come out to help. Zhao Kuangyin was also excited. He went to find someone to improve his Taizu Changquan during the Chinese New Year, and Wanyan was very good at bone-tapping. The desire to fight.

In the face of the great feud between Song and Jin Dynasties, the founding brothers of the two dynasties temporarily put aside their internal fighting and unanimously spoke to the outside world.Meng Ruji looked at one of the packets of tea cakes and sighed: "This must have been given to me intentionally by the child Foyou. In fact, I only taught her how to order tea for two years. It's hard for her to still think about me." Zhao. Xu has been happy for several months, but he still hasn't gotten over it. He said happily: "Yes, yes, you ordered tea very well. Back then, you said that the Yan Kingdom has grown up." Suddenly, he felt sad, and the eldest princess of the Yan Kingdom was his first She was also the only daughter of Queen Meng, whom both of them loved very much. When Empress Dowager Renxuan Gao Taotao passed away, the only purpose of Zhao Xu going to Kunning Palace was to see her daughter.

However, it was precisely because the princess was young and sick that Queen Meng's sister brought the talisman water when she entered the palace to ask for blessings from ghosts and gods. The talisman water involved the art of witchcraft and was always taboo in the palace. Meng was shocked and ordered the general to Fu Shui kept it, and when Zhezong arrived, he would explain the whole story one by one. Originally, Zhezong also thought it was human nature and did not blame him.But later things fermented, coupled with the constant instigation of the beloved concubine Liu Qingjing, the prime minister Zhang Dun tortured the maid, resulting in the deposed Empress Meng for the first time.

Both of them felt sad about the past, but Liu Qingjing knocked over the jar of vinegar, kicked the unknown sacrifice away, and said: "Guan Jia (Zhao Xu), this is given to you by your son, you clean it up. He has nothing to do with me."

Zhao Xu had a big head and comforted his beloved wife: "You can't say that. Xiaojiu is so ambitious. How many people want a son like this? Who are you talking about? Besides, what's mine is yours."

Meng Ruchi curled her lips when she saw these two people being disgusted. She picked up a few fish and mushroom tributes and went to Taizu's house - the two grandmothers each liked different tastes. They both had a respected status and were very kind to her. Next time, you can ask if you like tea. Junior can order tea.As for that little bitch of the Liu family, I am so sad for you. How about giving birth to a son? My heir is ten thousand times better than you.

In Shenzong's house, Zhao Xu was too close to his son and was very annoyed. He scolded: "Xiao Liu (Zhe Zong's ranking), you are so useless. There are only two women arguing all day long. You won't accompany me when you have time." I'll practice, and when your bastard brother comes down, I won't be able to bear the anger for all these years unless I beat him to death."

Song Shenzong thought that the emperor had done well, except for having an unfilial son. If God allowed him to live over again, what he wanted to do most was not even to make Wang Anshi reform the law, but to kill the 11th son after he was born. die.I'm not afraid of having no future, I'd rather adopt him.

Zhao Xu smiled apologetically and said, "Dad, isn't this the Chinese New Year? Why don't you go to accompany your grandparents?" In his early years, Zhao Xu had a lot of objections to his mother's new policy of deposing her, but after all these years, no matter what she does, she is still better than his wife Xiang. Knowing the general situation, we have already reconciled.

Zhao Xu became even more depressed after hearing this, and Fei dragged his son to practice wrestling with Zhe Zong as his sparring partner.The Yingzong couple have a good relationship. In the first few years, they sympathized with their son, wife, and son for being unfilial.In the same way, Zhenzong Liu E, Renzong and Zhang (Queen Wencheng) also refused to disturb, so Zhao Xu had no choice but to disturb his son.

　I don’t know if you like it?Hope there is no infringement.

　　I believe that in the face of the shame of Jingkang and the hatred of the country, the brothers of the Zhao family and the brothers of the Wanyan family can be consistent in dealing with the outside world.
