Chapter 276: Strange Ancestral Hall

The crown ceremony is a very important gift in ancient times, it is a ceremony that symbolizes the coming of age of men, and not any man is eligible to receive the crown ceremony when he is an adult, first of all, the age must be appropriate, that is, over sixteen years old, under twenty years old, and secondly, the man who receives the gift must be a scholar.

The "crown" is also the crown. The ostensible meaning of "being crowned" is to put a hat on a man, and the hat is exquisite, and only adult and literate men are eligible to wear a crown, and those who are illiterate will not have the opportunity to be crowned in their lifetime, and can only continue to accept the curse of fate.

After receiving the crown, he is a real adult, he must follow the standards of adults when he speaks and acts, and at the same time, the rules of the game in this world must also be strictly followed, because the rules are set by powerful adults, and before Li Su's strength is strong enough to overthrow these people and set new rules, he can only abide by it honestly, and in the future, he will say the wrong thing and do the wrong thing, and no one will forgive him lightly with the excuse of "he is still just a child". He has to take on the responsibilities of an adult, and no one treats him as a child anymore.

――Why do so many people sing "I don't want to, I don't want to grow up"? Here's why.

Li Su's poems are famous all over the world, and they are naturally cultured, and they are crowned for a county in the form of a holy decree, which is rarely heard of since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, which shows that the emperor's grace to Li Su is not only vast, but wave after wave.

…………

"I'm just a kid......"

Li Su squatted at the door, carrying the freshly steaming holy decree in his arms, muttering to himself in distraction.

It's a little melancholy, and I'm no longer protected by the Law on the Protection of Minors, and if I make a mistake, I should be knifed and I have to be knifed, and it's even sadder. You can no longer pretend to be tender with your face, and you will be in danger of being slapped in the face.

The person who presided over the crown ceremony, Li Shimin, was chosen with great significance.

It is said that with the weight of this holy decree and Li Su's status as the county prince, the person who gave the county a crown should be a respected civil official, even if it is Kong Yingda, the priest of the country. But Li Shimin chose the bull of Langya County to enter the country.

It is impossible for Li Shimin to be a blind candidate who has nothing to do with his troops, so he naturally has been carefully considered. The relationship between Niu Jinda and Li Su is almost known throughout the dynasty, when the Tang Army and Tubo captured Songzhou City, Niu Jinda was the general manager of the march, and Li Su happened to be the record of Niu Jinda's account to join the army, on the march, because of the problem of horse hoof wear, Li Su made a horseshoe, and then Songzhou could not be attacked for a long time. Heavy casualties, and Li Su created the earth-shattering thunder, it can be said that Li Su became famous all over the world because of this war, Niu Jinda, as the general manager of the march, also recommended Li Su.

The crown ceremony of the former subordinates who joined the army was presided over by the old boss, which complemented each other, and Li Shimin probably thought about it like this.

However, Li Su still sensitively found a trace of unusual taste from this holy decree, and the courtiers were divided into civil and military affairs. Since Li Su created the earth-shattering thunder, almost all the monarchs and ministers of the Manchu Dynasty have been classified as military generals. In fact, Li Su comes and goes the most frequently on weekdays, and it is also Cheng Biting Jin and Niu Jinda, these generals, Li Shimin elected Niu Jinda to preside over his crowning ceremony, probably not wanting Li Su to get too close to the civil officials.

******************************************************************

The crowning ceremony is a major event, more important than the festival.

There are ten days left until New Year's Day. The Li family began to get busy, Li Daozheng was so excited that he rubbed his hands, and His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered to arrange a crown ceremony for his son, such a glory was the first since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and Li Daozheng was not calm. The great glory must be recorded in the family tree and passed on to future generations.

In comparison, New Year's Day is not a big deal, Steward Xue casually asked the family's handymen to go into the city to purchase two truckloads of New Year's goods, and bought some of the red candle dried meat or something, which can be regarded as a holiday.

The Li family's work now focuses on Li Su's crown ceremony, all the items that should be prepared for the crown ceremony are bought by Li Daozheng himself, Confucian clothes and Confucian crowns are tailor-made in the most famous garment shop in Chang'an City, worship Confucius and worship the livestock of the ancestors of the Li family, incense burners, table cases, altars, etc., all by Li Daozheng personally into the city to buy, Li Daozheng has become the busiest person in the Li family these days, and he disappeared early in the morning.

Li Su is not idle, after receiving the holy decree, Li Daozheng did not allow him to go out to wander around, honestly stayed at home to cultivate his self-cultivation, and when there were three days before New Year's Day, Li Su was kicked into the newly repaired ancestral hall at home by his father.

According to the weekly ceremony, the recipient of the crown entered the ancestral hall three days in advance to fast and go on a hunger strike, and could only drink water for three days, and was not allowed to enter a grain of rice, in order to show respect for Confucius and the ancestors, and was not released from prison until the day of the official crown ceremony.

This fact caught Li Su by surprise, and he didn't secretly prepare food before being kicked into the ancestral hall by his father, so Li Su was dumbfounded, no matter how he screamed and scratched the door, there was only one futon in the middle of the ancestral hall, and there was nothing else.

After determining that he had to be hungry for three days, Li Su had no choice but to accept his fate and honestly sit down on the futon in the middle of the ancestral hall.

At this time, he had time to see the ancestors of the Li family ancestral hall.

At a glance, Li Suleng did not return to his senses for a long time, above the ancestral hall is the place where the ancestors and ancestors are placed, but it is said to be "the ancestors and the ancestors", but in fact, there is only a lonely tablet on the platform, Li Su took a closer look, and found that the only tablet was written with a small line of words, "The spiritual position of the ancestors of the Li family", no name and no source.

Li Sudun felt strange, only a few words were written on the ancestral tablet, it was too unusual, the name of the ancestor was unclear, and it was not only a joke to say it, it was simply unfilial.

Taking off the tablet and holding it in his hand, Li Su flipped it over and over again, and there were really no other clues on it except for this line of words.

For a while, many thoughts flashed through Li Su's mind.

Who is the ancestor of the Li family? Why is there no name engraved on the tablet? Father Li Daozheng is not like a secluded martial arts master or a remnant of the previous dynasty, living under the same roof, Li Su still knows his father very well, Li Daozheng's words and deeds are purely authentic farmers, there is nothing different, except to go to the cemetery of his mother in the west of the village every month to weed and clean up the tombstone.

Such an ordinary family, why is the ancestral tablet so mysterious?
