The Travelers of the Heavens

In September of the 29th year of Yongping (200 BC), Longcheng was the place where the Xiongnu offered sacrifices to heaven.

On the vast prairie, hundreds of thousands of Zhou and Hungarian armies were waiting in formation. The leaders of both sides held friendly talks in front of the formation. Zhou paid two million stones of grain and grass in exchange for the Hungarian side not to harass Zhou's border for fifty years and to be at Zhou's disposal at any time. The two sides reached an agreement and ceased war.

But the huge amount of grain took the Huns a long time and many horses to transport completely.

Wang Yuze led his troops and the rescued people to leave Longcheng and return to the Central Plains.

"I don’t think the Huns will abide by the agreement. Even if they abide by the agreement, it’s not clear whether Shanyu can live for another fifty years. If he dies and his successor does not recognize the agreement, what should we do?" The carriage on the return journey Go up, said the Frightened Salamander

"I never expected them to keep their word. These grains are just for feeding the dogs. I really don’t want to continue fighting this battle. Besides, since the war started, we have successively killed more than 60,000 Xiongnu elite cavalry, which can be regarded as a fruitful battle. , it’s not a pity to withdraw our troops and go back," Wang Yu said

"I'm afraid they'll take advantage of us to withdraw our troops and attack us from behind," Ayan said.

"Although the reputation of the Xiongnu Chanyu is not very good, he is not so shameless. His top priority is to distribute the food, and maybe he is still worried that we will suddenly turn around and raid them," Wang Yu said

"Hahaha"After listening to Wang Yu's words, Ayan laughed.

Half a month later, Luoyi, the Royal Palace.

The coffin has been suspended for fifteen days, and today is the day of the funeral. The soldiers went to the palace and moved the coffin containing the Ji-like body to the six carriages that had been parked outside the palace, and then escorted them out of the palace and out of the city.

The long funeral procession was filled with loud cries, and a large number of concubines and concubines were escorted by soldiers in mourning clothes and followed the coffin slowly out of the city.

Ji Ban's mausoleum had been built before his death. It was located in Shouyang Mountain. It took eight years to build the mausoleum and excavate the tomb chamber in the mountain. The underground palace consists of three chambers in the front, middle and back, and two ear chambers on the left and right.

The funeral procession arrived at the entrance to the tomb passage of Shouyang Mountain Mausoleum. After a small sacrificial ceremony, the coffin and nine pottery tripods were sent to the back room. Some clothes, letters, and daily necessities were also sent to the tomb chamber.

Cups of poisoned wine were served to the concubines who were buried. They were forced to drink the poisoned wine and were driven into the tomb by the soldiers before the poison was taken away.

After all this was done, the three stone gates fell one after another.

Then it was sealed with huge strips of stone, and craftsmen poured molten iron into the gaps in the sealing stones to integrate the entire stone wall made of strips of stone.

The remains of nearly two hundred concubines filled the tomb passages, and they will be buried in the dark tomb forever with Ji Ban's remains.

This burial was not the norm, but a spontaneous act. There were too many concubines, and the Moon God was unwilling to accommodate them, so he adopted this most direct and cruel method.

If there were ten, twenty or even fifty Ji-like concubines, the Moon God would not deal with them this way. Therefore, the late Ji Ban had to shoulder the blame.

After Ji Ban died, his posthumous title was"Chong" and he was known as Emperor Chong of Zhou in history.

After the funeral, preparations were made for the new emperor's enthronement ceremony.

In the magnificent Huangji Palace, Ji Pan sat on a golden dragon chair, and the Moon God crowned him. This is Emperor Shang of Zhou.

After Prince Ji Pan ascended the throne, his princess was made queen, his six-year-old son Ji Busuo was made prince, and his mother was revered as empress dowager.

After Ji Ban proclaimed himself emperor, he asked the ministers to decide on an era name for him, and finally decided on"Yanyou" as the era name. It is planned to officially change the era name on the fifth day of the first lunar month next year.

More than a month later, Wang Yu led his army back to Luoyi.

After he came back, he did not go back to the Taishi Mansion. Instead, he went to the palace to see the new emperor, the prince, and the empress dowager. Then he talked to the emperor about the war, presented his gifts, and went back to the Taishi Mansion.

"At the gate of the palace, Wang Ying pays homage to his father.

"Well, I haven't seen you for a few days, and my son seems to have grown taller again." Wang Yu got off the carriage, looked at his son, and said with a smile.

"My father has been on an expedition for several months, so why not go to the palace and rest first?" Wang Ying smiled and made a gesture of invitation.

"Okay, um, is your mother at home?" Wang Yu asked as he walked in.

"My mother is not in the house," Wang Ying said.

"oh? I didn't see her in the palace, where was she?"Wang Yu muttered and asked Wang Ying

"I heard that the son of a minister is one month old and his mother has gone to a banquet," Wang Ying said.

"Oh, I know, haha." Wang Yu was happy when he heard this. He knew that before the expedition, the minister's newly married wife was pregnant. Now more than half a year has passed, and the child has been born and is one month old.

But it is only a month old. God usually never pays attention to such things and will not accept invitations from ministers. This is an unprecedented first time.

""Father, what's wrong?" Wang Ying asked as he saw his father smiling.

"It's nothing, your mother actually accepted the minister's invitation. Let me see if the sun rises from the west." Wang Yu said and looked up at the sky.

""Hmm." Wang Ying looked puzzled, but he followed his father to look at the sky.

"Okay, you go ahead, I'll go back and take a rest first," Wang Yu said to his son.

""Yes." Wang Ying followed his father back to Wangyou Palace and left.

Wang Ying strolled and came to Guigu Palace. Yan Lingji happened to be in the courtyard, with her back to Wang Ying. Seeing this, Wang Ying suddenly came He wants to steal Yan Lingji's hair out of spite

"Um? Little thief! Where to run!"Yan Lingji felt her hair tighten. She looked back and grabbed it. Wang Ying was caught on the spot.

"Hey Hey"Wang Ying tried to cover up his mischievous behavior with an innocent smile.

"You Wang Ying, you secretly pulled out my hair and wanted to die!"Yan Lingji grabbed Wang Ying's neck with one hand and condensed fireballs with the other to scare him.

"I didn’t. Don’t accuse a good person unjustly." Wang Ying refused to admit it.

"You dare to quibble, I saw you a long time ago, what is this?" Yan Lingji said and used her inner power to absorb a strand of long hair from Wang Ying's sleeve.

Wang Ying, who had both gained the stolen goods, was helpless and lowered his head in silence.

In the Wangyou Palace , Wang Yu was closing his eyes to relax.

Suddenly there was a lot of noise outside, as if someone had broken in.

"Wang Chengfeng!"But Yan Lingji grabbed Wang Ying and kicked the door in.

"Hey, what's going on with Fire Girl now? So angry." Wang Yu sat up and laughed.

"I'm not a fire girl!"Yan Lingji was very dissatisfied when she was teased. She almost gritted her molars in response to Wang Yu.

"Okay, okay, you are not a fire girl." Wang Yu waved his hand.

"Bo Heng, what's wrong with you?" Wang Yu asked as he saw his son being grabbed by the neck collar.

"Well this"Wang Ying is embarrassed to say it

"Your son secretly pulled out my hair and I caught him on the spot," Yan Lingji said.

"Hiss, my son is usually polite, there is no way he would do such a thing," Wang Yu said.

"This is the evidence." Yan Lingji showed a trace of hair on her hand and said

"thisMaybe you dropped it yourself," Wang Yu said.

"you.."You still don't admit it" Yan Lingji was furious

"Hey, don't be angry, how about I ask Bo Heng to apologize to you?" Wang Yu said, gesturing towards his son.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me." Wang Ying hurriedly apologized to Yan Lingji and admitted his mistake.

In Wang Yu's small gang, except for his mother Yueshen and his little mother Da Siming, everyone else and Wang Yu Women of the same generation are called aunts.
