Chapter 204: The Ancestor
"Xiuling?" Yan Bei frowned, calculated with his fingers in his heart that he was not yet thirty-five years old, and asked Tian Feng: "Yan is in the middle of the year, why did he repair the tomb?" ”
Yan Erlang has never owed anything to the officials of Jizhou, old man Tian, what is the matter that you are in such a hurry to repair a mausoleum for a certain family?
Mausoleum, it's too late to think about this when it's about to be finished. But this was just Yanbei's idea, Tian Feng shook his head and said: "The king has been crowned king for more than a year, don't you still repair the mausoleum?" ”
These words made Yan Bei a little confused, and he raised his hand to stroke the back of his head, not knowing what to say. Tian Feng saw his doubts and said with a smile: "The king doesn't know, in ancient times, kings started to build mausoleums in the first year of succession...... What's more, the king opened the Han Dynasty with a different surname, and it should be used as the ancestral tomb of the Yan family, and the site selection needs to be more cautious. ”
Thinking about it carefully, Yanbei also felt that this was the case. Repair a mausoleum and dig mountains and seal the soil, the huge project employs a lot of people, and how can it not be repaired for a few years or even more than ten years slowly. In the Zhao Yuan in the southwest of the Zhao Palace, there is a mausoleum under the Arrow Ridge, and it is said that the Zhao Wuling King who is riding and shooting in Hufu is buried here...... However, now Zhao Yuan is a garden in Yanbei, and it is also a training school for thousands of Yan and Zhao warriors, that is to say, his Yan Zhao warriors have always been running horses and releasing arrows at the gate of the old man's mausoleum of King Wuling.
"Zhao Guo still has a place to get his feet?" Yan Bei shook his head and sneered, and said to Tian Feng: "There are the Mausoleum of King Wuling in Zhao Yuan, five mausoleums in the north of Handan, seven tombs of sealed soil, and dozens of generals' tombs, where are there seven old Zhao kings and nearly 100 generals, where is there a place for Yan." ”
Yan Bei smiled as he spoke, if he was buried here after death, the Zhao brothers would bring dozens of generals from the old country underground, and he would be an outsider, so he wouldn't be beaten all over the mountain?
"Otherwise, let's go to Liaodong to repair the mausoleum." Yan Beile pointed to the northeast, where tens of thousands of his old troops were buried in Liaodong, and said, "No one can beat me there." ”
"Can you beat it?" Tian Feng didn't understand Yanbei's words too much, who would have thought that Yanbei had already calculated that after entering the earth, he would compete with the kings of the past, so he just smiled and said: "Liaodong is leveled by the king, but no one in the world can stop the king's soldiers." Liaodong is located in the border and has many inconveniences, and it is not as good as the Central Plains to shelter future generations. ”
What to shelter future generations, Yan Bei understands this, saying that he can shelter future generations after his death is just obedient, in the final analysis, it is to let future generations shelter the mausoleum and avoid the scourge of military disasters and tomb robbing. In the final analysis, the mausoleum is located in Liaodong, a little north is the border, in case the north captives go south, the battle has not been fought to level the ancestral tomb of Zhao Guo, which has a bad impact on the country.
"So, Tian Yuanhao is already confident, let's talk about it, where are you going to bury the lonely?"
"The minister doesn't dare, King Zhao's five tombs are at the eastern foot of Hanshan Mountain, and the king can build a mausoleum at the western foot of Hanshan Mountain and west of Jianling Mountain, and its land is ......" Without waiting for Tian Feng to finish speaking, Yanbei nodded and said: "It's quite high and big over there, and it is a good place to see Handan City and Taixue in King Zhao's Palace." How many people and how long will it take to build a mausoleum there? ”
If Tian Feng continues to talk about it, he will talk about things like feng shui and gods, and Yanbei doesn't want to hear it. The left and right always have to build the mausoleum, Yanbei doesn't care how to repair it, he just wants to know when it can be repaired, how many people will be used, and how long.
"Sent out to serve in the army, this year, three thousand craftsmen in the land of Youzhou, drawing ideas, and chiseling the charter; In the coming year, according to the regulations, 30,000 to 50,000 people will be sent to Youzhou, and then the people of Youzhou will be sent back to the north, and the same number of people will be sent to Jizhou; and then from Guanzhong, Bingzhou and other places year by year. Tian Feng said in a blink of an eye that the huge project of levying and sending more than 100,000 people was so great that Yan Bei smacked his tongue and asked: "To build a mausoleum, do you want so many people?" ”
Tian Feng arched his hand and smiled: "This is just an estimate, the mausoleum ritual system has not been determined at this time, if the ritual system of the princes and kings is used, when 30,000 to 50,000 people are sent, it can be completed in five years; But for now...... The matter has not yet been decided, and I dare not speak. ”
Is it to build the tombs of princes and kings, or the tombs of emperors? Don't say that Tian Feng doesn't know about this, no one in the world knows.
"Let's talk about it later, where does Yan go to find so many people to serve in the conscription. The treasury is not full, and even the money for the conscripts is not yet available. However, it is possible to recruit craftsmen first, and even if they don't build a mausoleum, there are things for them to make! "Yan Bei doesn't care what kind of mausoleum he builds, even if he goes to Youzhou Feiru Mountain to find a place to bury him with Zhang Ju, he doesn't care. Of course, he doesn't care that the mausoleum is small, nor does he care that the mausoleum is big, his mausoleum must be big, because not only he will be buried there, but future generations will also be buried there...... Where in the world are there such princes and kings, there is nothing to worship in the five temples! ”
Seven temples of the Son of Heaven, five temples of princes, and three temples of scholars. There are three temples in Liaodong Yan's worship, but there are only Yanbei's father and brother in it, and they can't find their ancestors even higher; Now he is even more confused, where did he find the offerings of the five temples. This kind of thing must make people laugh when others know, but Yanbei can't help it, he is far-fetched to find an ancestor for himself to be in the temple, and he is not happy.
Does he need an ethereal ancestor to earn respect for himself?
He is the ancestor of the Yan clan and will be enshrined in the middle of the temple in the future!
"No, the king can always find a man who can be sent to the people, and it is not a bad thing to levy it. As long as the conscription does not violate the agricultural season, there will always be idle young people in the counties, three townships and five miles, and there will always be ordinary people who are starving and cold. ”
What Tian Feng said was originally a good thing, but the more Yanbei listened, the more unhappy he became, and he got up and said: "What are you talking about, from Gaima Mountain to Yumen Desert, I, Zhao Guotiance, have no land, who has no food to eat?" Now that the north is decided, and the south is in the midst of the use of troops, how can it be because of Yan's private tomb to levy tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of conscripts for many years, and the people will increase the chaos when they think about it! ”
"I'm going to Zhao Yuan to be a samurai!"
Saying that, Yan Bei turned around and buckled his pocket and walked out of the main hall of Zhao Wang's Palace, ignoring no one in a huff, turning over and getting on his horse and galloping all the way west towards Zhao Yuan in the palace.
When Tian Feng walked out of the palace gate, he saw the figure of Yan Beixi and the subtle dust on the compound road, and when he saw this scene, he could only sigh gloomily. However, Dian Wei, who turned over and got on the horse outside the hall, saw Tian Feng come out, and smiled at Tian Feng with a tight black face, and said: "Sir, don't worry too much, the lord is just worried about the loss of labor and money, and then discuss it when the mood is calm, go to Zhao Yuan to escort him first!" ”
After that, Dian Wei also ordered the two teams of warriors to ride their horses and drive away.
