.,I have a background in Datang

A red sun broke through the clouds and waves, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers shed golden light, and Gu Tianya stood alone on the colorless altar.

When he slowly lifted up the roll of silk, looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, the huge team behind him suddenly fell silent, and almost everyone had a thought flashing through their hearts.

"It's about to begin!"

Report to God that we will build our country now.

At this moment, countless Youyun ministers looked excited. Some of them thought that their official positions were about to be announced, and they couldn't help but clenched their fists tightly. Due to the excessive force, their fingernails had already fit into the palms of their hands. However, these people seemed to be in the wrong position.

My mind is full of excitement and nervousness.

At this moment, the noble ladies were holding on with poles. Their bodies were soaked with sweat, and their eyes were shining with hope. They were very tired, but their hearts were full of joy. Although the poles on their shoulders were heavy, every noble lady

They are all gritting their teeth and persisting.

Even the extremely noble Empress Changsun was carrying a heavy pole. On the front of the pole was a little guy, and on the back was a basket full of grain. If you calculate the weight, it must weigh at least a hundred kilograms.

Empress Changsun was obviously bent down by the weight, but she never put down the pole.

The little guy carried in the Queen's pole is Prince Li Zhi.

"It's about to begin, sit down, little slave!"

Suddenly I heard Empress Changsun murmur softly, with some inexplicable meaning in her tone, and whispered: "Your uncle is going to found a country. From now on, he will be the leader of the princes. The princes are the monarchs. Although

He is not an emperor yet, but he is already a king..."

Little Li Zhi sat obediently in the rattan basket, with curiosity in his eyes, and asked in a low voice: "Mother, why do I have to sit in the rattan basket? And those ladies carrying poles, why do they also carry their own poles?

The child. The child slave saw that everyone was very tired, but no one secretly put down the carrying pole to take a rest..."

The little guy looked confused and couldn't help but said: "Why on earth?"

Empress Changsun smiled softly and explained softly: "This is a etiquette at the time of the founding of the country, and it is a great opportunity that only comes once in a century. The queen mother puts you in the rattan basket, and the other end is carrying a basket of grain..."

The Queen paused while speaking, and then continued: "This food is not only a ritual tribute to God, but also a manifestation of helping your uncle express to God his ability to found a country. Since ancient times, the founding of a country means that someone has walked the path of a king.

People will gather around him, and the people who follow him will have no shortage of food and clothing. Therefore, when the country was founded, the people would spontaneously carry food, letting God believe that the founder of the country has the ability to provide his people with enough food and clothing..."

"So that's it!" Xiao Li Zhi thought thoughtfully.

Suddenly the little guy asked again: "Then what's the reason for picking the child?"

Empress Changsun smiled warmly, with a deep tone in her tone, and explained in a low voice: "According to ancient rituals, children mean the future of the human race. This is to show God that there is no shortage of children under your uncle's rule. Since there is no shortage of children under his rule,

The lack of children means that it can be passed on for a long time..."

The queen paused and then continued in a low voice: "Of course this is just the superficial meaning of the etiquette. The deeper meaning is to gain protection. When your uncle becomes a prince, he will protect you children who participate in the ceremony. Founding ceremony boy

, rest with the kingdom, and as long as his kingdom lasts, he will protect you from being bullied."

"Why?" Xiao Li Zhi obviously couldn't understand, and he blinked curiously.

Empress Changsun smiled gently and said: "Because you are witnesses to the founding of the country, and are representatives who prove to God that your uncle's country can be passed down for a long time. In other words, you symbolize the destiny of the country... The destiny of a country is no small matter, so

As long as you don't make big mistakes in the future, your uncle will protect you and lead you to a comfortable life."

Xiao Li Zhi blinked again and said in confusion: "But my son is from the royal family of the Tang Dynasty. I am destined to be very comfortable in this life! Why should I sacrifice the near and seek the far away and let my uncle protect me?"

Empress Changsun was slightly startled, and vaguely seemed to sigh.

After a long time, the queen spoke softly: "Since ancient times, people in the royal family have never been comfortable. Now you are still young, so you live in comfort. But when you grow up, you will fall into..."

The queen seemed unwilling to continue, and suddenly changed her words: "Anyway, remember, this is the protection that the queen has earned for you. The princes hold power and are outside the Tang Dynasty. If there is a dispute within the Tang Dynasty one day, the royal family will

The heirs turn against each other in order to fight for power, but no matter how fierce the fight is, you, child slave, have a way out. As long as your uncle is still there, there is a big tree standing behind you... You are his founding boy, he will

Protect you from harm."

Xiao Li Zhi seemed to understand but nodded vaguely.

The little guy turned around and looked around, and found that every noble lady was carrying a pole. One end of the pole was carrying a child, and the other end was carrying grain. The autumn day was hot, known as the autumn tiger, and the ladies were soaked with sweat.

clothes, but I have been gritting my teeth and persisting.

An idea flashed in Xiao Li Zhi's mind, and he suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart, saying: "The children understand, they are also fighting for shelter for their children. Those children who are carried on the poles are just like me, we will all become You Yunzhao

The founding gift boy of the country.”

Empress Changsun looked pleased and said in a low voice: "This is a kind of protection from the founding princes, so the queen mother will say that this is a great opportunity that cannot be seen in a century."

…

If you carefully observe this ceremony of founding the nation and worshiping heaven, you will find that these women are the most strenuous people in the team.

But each of them was filled with joy.

The joy is filled with deep expectations.

I saw a little girl standing on tiptoes and raising her hands from the cane basket to wipe her mother's sweat. Unexpectedly, her mother quickly stretched out her hand, gently blocked her daughter's movement, and lowered her voice: "Girl, don't move, mother."

No matter how tired you are, you have to persevere... When the national ceremony is over, you will never let your mother worry about you again in your life."

At this time, there was another noble lady next to her. She laughed softly after hearing this and asked in a low voice: "This girl looks strange, and her accent seems to be from Jiangnan. You actually brought a girl here?

Are you giving opportunities to girls? It’s really unbelievable that there is a family that is willing to give opportunities to girls..."

But the little girl's mother nodded slightly and replied softly: "This is her brother's insistence. As parents, we can't argue. We have no choice but to comply with the child's wishes."

"Huh!"

Another lady was obviously startled, and said curiously: "Such a great opportunity can affect the fate of a family. You parents, you can't argue with a child?"

Suddenly he seemed to have some enlightenment and couldn't help but said anxiously: "Who is that child of yours?"

Before the little girl's mother could speak, she suddenly heard the little girl in the rattan basket speak out first, and said very proudly: "My brother is Lu Zhaolin!"

"Oh my God, he turns out to be the true disciple of Lord Youyun!"

The noble lady looked surprised, but then her face showed kindness, and she said politely: "No wonder you want to fulfill the child's wishes. It turns out that the child is actually the Youyun disciples."

As he spoke, he looked at the little girl and said with a doting look on his face: "It seems that this little girl is very loved by her brother, otherwise he would not help her fight for the status of the founding gift girl. As a female heir, it's good

With great luck, you will have the protection of the princes throughout your life, and even if you get married, you will still be supported by your husband's family."

The little girl's mother sighed and said helplessly: "But she is a girl after all, and she will only be able to benefit her husband's family when she gets married."

The lady just rolled her eyes and comforted in a low voice: "Your family has a true descendant of Youyun, and it is destined to be protected by the Lord of Youyun in this life, so you must not let the small things cost you the big things, just for the sake of a founding gift boy.

The identity of the two has messed up the relationship..."

After hesitating for a moment, he cautiously reminded, "I heard that Lu Zhaolin was fostered by the Gu family since he was a child. It was Gu Guozhu and his wife who raised him. This means that he is not very close to you."

The little girl's mother was slightly shocked and nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the slave family understands. Since the child next door loves his sister, we parents must comply with his wishes."

The lady just nodded, and suddenly a friendly smile appeared on her face again, and she said with deep meaning: "I am the wife of the Zheng family in Xingyang. We sisters should get closer."

When Lu Zhaolin's mother heard this, her heart moved, and she said with the same profound meaning: "The slave family also feels that they are destined to fall in love with each other as soon as they see my sister."

Between aristocratic families, interactions are only based on interests. The two ladies had a tacit understanding and began to talk in whispers.

Queen Changsun, who was not far away, looked on with cold eyes, sighed softly, and taught Xiao Li Zhi in a low voice: "Did you see, my slave, that this scene in front of you is the embodiment of your uncle's influence?"

The Queen paused while speaking, and then continued: "Back then, the Fan Yang Lu family made a big mistake. Lu Zhaolin's father separated from the family. He took his family to the south of the Yangtze River and took shelter in the Xie family's courtyard in the south of the Yangtze River. Since ancient times, living under the fence of others has inevitably been difficult, so

The Lu family has been longing for a comeback and refuses to let go of any opportunity..."

"But it is so difficult for a family to revive. Everyone in the world once thought that the Lu family was going to perish. It is human nature to praise the superior and despise the inferior. Therefore, in the past few years, all the aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty were loyal to the Lu family.

Color. No matter how groveling and smiling the Lu family is, what they get in return is the scorn of various aristocratic families..."

The queen paused again while continuing to teach Li Zhi and then said: "However, with the continuous rise of your uncle, Lu Zhaolin's status has also risen with the tide. Not only does the Lu family have hope for recovery, but even the Jiangnan Xie family can follow.

Zhanguang, so you can see that various aristocratic families in the Tang Dynasty began to show their displeasure towards the Lu family again."

Xiao Li Zhi listened thoughtfully, and said with a look of understanding on his face: "That eldest lady from the Zheng family in Xingyang just now, she deliberately approached Lu Zhaolin's mother, right? In fact, it was not that they fell in love with each other as soon as they met, but that they had been fighting for a long time.

Make up your mind to make good friends, right, Queen Mother?"

Empress Changsun smiled happily, stretched out her hand to caress Li Zhi's forehead, and said warmly: "If you can understand this, my mother can finally rest assured. As a prince, you must learn to penetrate deeply and see through the illusion on the surface to see through the truth inside."

When the Queen said this, she suddenly looked a little lonely and said quietly: "It's a pity that you are the third child. Your father does not allow your mother to teach you these things."

"My uncle also taught me these things!" Xiao Li Zhi suddenly said, very solemnly: "And he asked me to learn them together with my tiger cousin."

Empress Changsun was slightly startled, her face seemed to be hesitating, and after a long time, she suddenly said as if she had made up her mind: "Then you will learn from my uncle."

…

On the five-color altar in the distance, Gu Tianya slowly unfolded the silk fabric.

The next moment, a clear voice sounded:

"In the tenth month of the golden autumn, I tell heaven and earth that I am willing to establish a country to protect my people and make the name of my country clear."
