Chapter 972: The Magnificent Power of Han (Ninety-Six)

Dong Zhuang's family is just a small microcosm of the many families in Tianhe County. During the half-year period when the Qi army occupied Tianhe County and Jicheng, countless families were destroyed. Tianhe County, which was once the richest in the Yan Kingdom, suddenly fell from heaven to hell. If you plunder and plunder, even if you have great wealth, you will be reduced to abject poverty overnight.

This is also the reason why the people of Tianhe County, including Jicheng, basically did not have any resistance after the Han army regained Tianhe and drove away the Qi people. The high-minded and majestic Dai Yan established himself as the king of Han. Incomparable nostalgia, because they were the beneficiaries of that dynasty.

Ji Ling's incompetence caused the people here to suffer unforgettable hardships. When the new king came to the throne, it rained down on the world, and the old dynasty quickly faded into people's memory. If there is still one, it will only be in the last half year. Tragic memories.Novel www.zhu.r />

People's memories of pain are always deeper than memories of happiness.

The big man was changing bit by bit silently. One decree after another was issued from the assembly hall and was quickly sent to all parts of the country. Officials, businessmen, and farmers were all concerned about the laws and regulations. Naturally, some people are happy and some are sad about the part related to themselves. And Gaoyuan, who created all of this, is currently building a few small thatched houses on Fenghuang Mountain, ten miles away from Jicheng, for his parents. Guard the tomb.

When Gao Yuan ascended the throne as king, he naturally had to extend his favor to the eighteenth generation of his ancestors. Gao Yuan himself was not a fan of this, but under Xun Xiu's insistence, he could only let the Ministry of Rites handle it. Gao Yuan, on this matter, He was simply used as a rubber stamp and ignored him completely. It is said that Xun Xiu searched through the classics and found a famous ancestor for himself. As for his name, Gao Yuan had long forgotten about it.

Jiang Jiaquan was very supportive of Xun Xiu on this matter, saying that this was to find a theoretical basis for the legitimacy of Gao Yuan's throne. It was necessary to prove from the eighteenth generation of his ancestors that Gao Yuan's bloodline was noble and was It is different, it is said that it is more convincing.

Gao Yuan, who came from another world, of course sneered. In his heart, the army, powerful force, and the economy of other countries far surpassed that of other countries. This is the foundation of his life. As long as his fist is strong enough, he can stand firmly in this world. world.

When the capital was established in Jicheng, it was natural to move all the tombs of the ancestors. To this end, the Assembly Hall also allocated a large sum of money from the treasury to build the tombs for the ancestors of the Gao family, which had always been stingy. Wang Wuyi agreed happily this time, but at this time, Gao Yuan disagreed. With a stroke of his pen, the scale of the mausoleum designed by Xun Xiu was reduced by two-thirds, and this The money does not come from the treasury, but comes from Gao Yuan's own pocket.

Of course, you have to save your own money. It's not that Gao Yuan doesn't respect his ancestors, but he feels that there is no need to do so. He should fulfill his filial piety during his lifetime and not be honored after his death. If Gao Yuan has any regrets in his heart, it is that he has never seen him. My biological parents in this world.

Xun Xiu greatly appreciated Gao Yuan's actions. With a stroke of his pen, he wrote a colorful article announcing Gao Yuan's feat to the world. It is said that it shocked the scholars all over the world. Gao Yuan hadn't done anything yet. The hat of the Holy King and the Lord of Ming has been smashed down on his head and face.

This unintentional move actually yielded unexpected results, which made Gao Yuan a little surprised. He never expected that his actions of resolutely not being extravagant and wasteful in order to save money would actually have such a gratifying effect.

Although he has been in this world for so many years, Gao Yuan still does not really understand the unforgettable respect for clans and ancestors in this era. Gao Yuan serves the country and the people and refuses to rebuild the ancestral mausoleum. Home is an act of righteousness for everyone.

In fact, Gao Yuan doesn't think this is necessary.

Except for the graves of Gao Yuan's parents, the rest of the Gao family has long been traced. Under the auspices of Xun Xiu, the remains were moved by Fufeng and reburied in the mausoleum. According to the old rules, Gao Yuan naturally had to observe mourning for three years. However, as a king, I can make exceptions, but I still have to observe mourning for my parents here for thirty days.

A thatched hut was built on Fenghuang Mountain. Gao Yuan and his three ladies took off their Chinese clothes, put on linen clothes, and lived here. Although it was a thatched hut, the furnishings inside were no worse than those in the palace.

Gao Yuan really liked the scenery here, and he had a half-day of leisure. In the past ten years, he had hardly spent a complete holiday, but he just happened to take advantage of this time to have a good rest.

The trees in the mountains cover the sky and the sun, and the scorching heat in summer loses its power here. No matter what time, there is a cool breeze blowing slowly from the forest. Compared with the Jicheng Palace, it is much more comfortable.

"When I have money in the future, I will build a few formal houses here, and I will come here for vacation every year on hot days." Looking at the three ladies, Gao Yuan said with a smile. "Listen to the gentle mountain breeze, and smell the gentle breeze. Kingfishers sing, wild flowers are picked on the hillside, and shrimps are fished in the stream. What a pleasant life it is!"

"How can it be so easy!" He Lanyan immediately retorted mercilessly: "Brother Gao, don't forget, you are the king of the Han Dynasty. There are countless things waiting for you to decide every day. You just want to come, just do it." I'm afraid that Old Man Jiang will drag you back too."

"Mr. Jiang!" Gao Yuan corrected. "I have a way to deal with Mr. Jiang. I just want to come here every year to observe filial piety for my parents. At least Mr. Xun strongly supports it. Mr. Jiang is also a filial person, so naturally he won't Say more, besides, the meeting will be more complete in the future, and I will have less and less things to do. As for putting a seal on it, it’s not just a seal!"

"Brother Gao, please don't accidentally say this in front of Mr. Jiang and the others. Coming here to take a break with the excuse of being filial to your parents is not what a king should do!" Ye Jing'er whispered. Said: "If those old gentlemen find out, they will definitely be dissatisfied."

"Of course." Gao Yuan said with a smile, "It's not just our family here. In this case, naturally we only talk at home."

"I still like the grassland." He Lanyan suddenly felt a little sad, "It's nice here, but it can't compare to the endless prairie. Horses gallop, bows are bent to shoot wolves, and eagles hunt rabbits. Here, the horses can even trot. Not even close!"

"Whenever you want to go back to the grassland, just go back anytime!" Gao Yuan said nonchalantly, "What does this mean?"

"Brother Gao, are you serious, can I really go back whenever I want?" He Lanyan was immediately overjoyed, "My brother came to see me a few days ago and asked me to learn the rules from Sister Jing'er and Xin'er. She said she should look like a princess and stop acting like a wild girl like before. She said it seriously, which made me very angry and depressed."

Gao Yuan laughed: "No wonder these days, I see that you are no longer walking like you used to do, with your hands tied up and your feet on tiptoe, which makes you look weird. It turns out that my uncle is giving you lessons, but there is no such thing." To think that Yanzi, you actually listen to your brother so much!"

"He is my eldest brother. My parents died young, and I followed him all the way. Even though I usually play around with him, if he really gets serious, I am still very afraid of him." He Lanyan said.

"A brother is like a father, let alone a situation like yours?" Gao Yuan sighed: "Yanzi, you are not a golden bird in my cage. Not only you, but also Jing'er and Xin'er, you can do whatever you like. Do, if we have struggled to where we are today and can't do something we like, then what's the point? If you want to go back and take a look, then go back and take a look. Besides, now on the prairie, you Huns There are more and more of them. Two days ago, the Supervisory Yuan came to report that some Xiongnu tribes who had gone to the desert back then have migrated back a lot, and they have had many minor conflicts with us in the Hetao area. You go back. Let’s go, it’s just a good time to take care of these things.”

"This can be regarded as a balance between public and private matters!" Ning Xin, who was sitting on the side and playing with the strings of the piano, laughed when she heard the sound. "Those Huns had a very bad life in the desert. When they heard that the Hetao was now stable, they wanted to move back, but You also know that some fixed patterns have been formed in the Hetao area and the prairie. If you want to intervene again, it will inevitably touch the interests of other people. This friction is inevitable. Sun Xiao of the Liaodong Protectorate has a headache. , if you go, you can make him relax."

"When will I set off?" He Lanyan's big eyes were twinkling with anticipation.

"Wait until we go down the mountain." Gao Yuan said.

"I'm afraid it will take half a year at the earliest before I can come back. Mingzhi is so young, I can't bear to leave him!" He Lanyan pouted, her motherly nature still prevailed at this moment.

"Bring Mingzhi with you." Gao Yuan said, "Mingzhi is the son of the King of Han Dynasty. He has a different status. Together with you, his words will have more weight. Yanzi, I am not asking you to go." What I need now is peace in these places, the Hetao, the Prairie, and the three counties of Liaodong, so that the people there can continue to create wealth for the Han Dynasty instead of fighting again. Do you understand what I mean? ?”

"It's great to be able to bring Mingzhi with us!" He Lanyan jumped up suddenly, "Actually, that's what I thought, but I was afraid that Sister Jing'er wouldn't allow it."

"If you want to play privately, she won't allow it, but this is business. How could she stop you?" Gao Yuan looked at Ye Jing'er with a smile.

Ye Jing'er snorted, "Brother Gao has no intention of sealing my mouth. Even now, I don't want Mingzhi to go. Mingzhi is only a little older. Even if it takes a few months, he won't be full years old yet." How can a child endure such a long journey?"

"There is nothing we can do about it." Gao Yuan shook his head and said, "The Huns value bloodline very much. Mingzhi is the most suitable candidate and can bring them proof of security commitment and development guarantee, so I can only work hard for this." A little son!" (To be continued...)
