As the heart and center of the empire. Wherever there is wind and grass in the palace, it is all in the spotlight.

The news that His Majesty wants to move his mother-in-law, Empress Dowager Dou, to Yong'an Palace has spread to the court and even Luoyang in a few days. The fruit is talked about. There are a lot of beautiful words at the time.

Rao is sick at home, and Yang Ci, an old minister who is recuperating in bed, also praised. It shows that the hearts of the people are back.

His Majesty's deep meaning of treating his mother-in-law well, except for the close ministers around him, was not known to the people of the time. However, as a universal value, filial piety comes first, and it has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Cheng Huang once said "obscene and green ghosts".

What is behind it is the Han Dynasty that established the country, and the hierarchical etiquette system.

Such as in the midst of family sacrifices. As far as the status of "concubine" is concerned. The first person to be honored is his mother-in-law. All expenses should also be honored by the mother-in-law. After that, he was his biological mother-in-law. If you privately put the sacrifice level of your mother-in-law and secretly the same as your mother-in-law, it is the so-called "sacrifice of transgression". Sacrifices were not allowed to be enjoyed by the mother-in-law. And the concubine mother and concubine were also reprimanded by the green ghost for "the sacrifice of transgression".

Death is like life. It's the same with the living. His Majesty imprisoned his mother-in-law, the Empress Dowager Dou, but sat back and watched the Yongle Empress Dowager Dong's food and clothing, and the level of ceremonial products, surpassing the Empress Dowager of the main palace. This move can also be called "the gift of transgression", and the Empress Dowager Dong of Yongle accepted it calmly, which was not only useless, but harmful. Blessings that go beyond the rules of etiquette are the so-called "unblessed consumption."

All are created equal. Therefore, it will be seen by posterity. All of the above is quite nonsense.

However, nowadays, it is a well-known common sense.

When Liu Bei was a teenager, he was famous. It is considered to be auspicious from heaven, the son of the unicorn. The female assassin climbed over the wall and entered at night, borrowed the thatched house of Liu Bei's house, and was convinced. Mouth: "Killing is ominous." "The cold and summer festivals, from beginning to end, carefully guarded, do not bear to cause harm. The source of righteousness is that "God has the virtue of a good life".

If anyone in later generations sees this, they will pout and disbelieve it, just like the newcomer Sandun. Funny, can you not be so superstitious.

However, put yourself in your shoes and live under the starry sky of Dahan. It is precisely because of the belief in heaven and earth, belief in people, ghosts and gods that it is said: The sky has eyes. There are gods three feet above his head. God knows, you know, I know.

Compared to the Hereafter, who do not believe in anything. It is better to believe or not to believe. Matter.

However, no matter what future generations think, this is the style of the times. Whether you like it or not, whether you understand it or not, the daily life of the Han people is like this.

Therefore, when you see that the text is compatible with the universal values of later generations, or when you are in complete conflict with each other, you may wish to think about it again after rushing to vent your emotions.

Past experience, if not forgotten, is a guide for the future..

Tang Taizong once said that history is a mirror. Whether it is according to oneself or according to the demon. It's all in one thought.

Similar to He Jin, the great general who has multiplied his knowledge and action. Liu Bei, the king of thistle, was not fighting alone.

The book written by the priestess of the Holy Fire and the high priestess spread six hundred miles to the city of Qiancheng, the capital of the Western Regions. The two mansions who had just arrived woke up after reading the Chinese translation.

During his lifetime, the lord had to go on an expedition to Rome.

As a Roman empress, Ruzira was widely supported by the Senate and all classes of Rome. It has extremely high "political value". If in the name of Ruqila, the Thistle King sent troops to help him eradicate the tyrant, it is the so-called "famous teacher".

Glimpse this, why not say more. During the banquet, the two ministers took advantage of the envoy to come forward to toast, push the cup and change the lamp, and the request of the king of thistle was successfully served. Rest in peace, envoys, how dare you slacken? The next day, when the city opened, a group of men and horses roared out and galloped away.

Thousands of miles away, wearing stars and moons. If you don't care about the cost, you can reach it in ten days. Although it is unknown how long it took for Rukira to be imprisoned on a picturesque island before being killed by the tyrant, it is estimated that it is still too late.

Longshan Xiban, Roman Embassy.

On a midsummer night, a warm breeze is blowing.

Archilea, priestess of the Holy Fire, thinks day and night.

In the dream, I took a small boat and rowed into the blue hole through the crack. Follow the ancient staircase to the palace of Tiberius. This time, the dream was uninterrupted. Achilla was finally able to enter the lavish palace where Rukira was imprisoned.

Follow the sound to the second floor. Walk through the veiled corridor and look around. Achilla is on a balcony that rises over a cliff and faces the sea. I saw Rukira's back rising and falling like a wave. And the blazing gasp of being smashed by the waves.

"Rukira!" Although countless times in my heart I imagined the tragic humiliation suffered by the Roman Empress. However, when she saw it with her own eyes, Achilla was still furious. He stepped forward and slammed over his shoulder. What caught my eye was a and noble, unfamiliar face.

"Who are you!" A fleeting appearance, with an incomparable appearance that is envied by the Han people.

"Whew—" The dream stopped, and Achilla suddenly woke up.

The scene in the dream is vivid. is the oriental beauty whose back resembles Rukira, and Achilla's memory is also very clear.

"Mistress?" Seeing Achilla sitting up in the curtain, the maid hurriedly lifted the curtain and asked, "Are you having nightmares again?" ”

"Hmm." The priestess of the Holy Flame had just the right amount of calm: "It's okay. It's just a dream. ”

"The hostess is the spokesperson of the goddess on earth. Guarding the flame that banishes darkness and evil from the world. But when I returned from the banquet, I often had the same nightmare. This may have been an oracle from the goddess through a dream. The hostess should be careful to deal with. "Handmaidens and priestesses have been together since childhood. Before she became the priestess of the Temple of Flame, Achillia was no different from the others. In other words, the handmaiden was also one of the chosen ones of the priesthood of the Holy Fire.

"I know." Achilla sighed, "It's a pity that we're in a foreign land. It's thousands of miles away from Rome. There are no gods in the beliefs of the Han people, which we believe in. The power of the gods is unsustainable. The message from the goddess is always fragmented and cannot be comprehended. ”

"I've heard that there are people among the Han people who can interpret dreams." The maid said, "Why don't you give it a try, hostess?" ”

"You mean, Director of the Four Seas, Mr. Wujiao Zuo Ci?" Achilla came to her senses.

"Yes, that's him."

"That's fine." Achilla made up her mind.

Luoyang, Yongle Palace.

Woken up by a ghost-chasing boy crying at night. Empress Dowager Dong slowly opened her eyes. The chest is habitually stuffy, and the swelling pain is unbearable for a while. Years ago, Shen scabies were intermittent, although they were eventually cured. But he fell into the root of chest tightness. It is accompanied by edema, which makes the Empress Dowager Dong suffer from gains and losses. Everyone has a life, and there is a long life and a poor life. The glory and wealth of the world are not endless. And in my Han Palace, who can die without illness.

The news of His Majesty's order to rebuild Yong'an Palace was known to Empress Dowager Dong long before Cheng Huang entered the West Mansion. Although he knows the alliance of the two palaces, treating the Empress Dowager Dou well is what the general trend needs. However, deep down, there is still a lingering fear.

Chase the ghost boy and watch him grow up day by day. Why haven't you seen your majesty take action yet?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly. As His Majesty said, people are not plants and trees, and they can be ruthless. Then he put on his clothes and went to the side hall.
