Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 932 Worshiping Ancestors and Worshiping Heaven
After dawn, the heavy snow finally stopped.

The people of Yandi City flocked to the streets to watch the song and dance performances at the four city gates and participate in various folk activities.

Many businesses have popped up, and the streets are full of temporary stalls selling trinkets and New Year goods.

According to the orders of Emperor Yongtai, these stalls are free of various taxes, and the officials of Yandi City must do a good job in service.

Only the prosperity of business can promote economic development. This Spring Festival, the empire's economy will definitely reach a higher level.

Lu Hao fought continuously and served the three beauties comfortably. After the four of them washed together, they also had breakfast together.

Today's plan is to go to the newly built ancestral temple and ancestral hall of the royal family. Fortunately, Lu Hao is alone and there are not so many red tapes.

However, he now has many concubines in his harem, and his family's carriage fleet is several miles long.

Under the escort of the heavily armed imperial guards, the luxurious motorcade headed north in a mighty manner. Along the way, the people consciously watched and knelt down to worship Emperor Yongtai.

"Long live the emperor! Long live the empress!"

Both sides of the road were filled with ordinary people who came to see the emperor.

Tantai Xiyao and the concubines in the harem were also warmly welcomed by the people. They opened the curtains one by one and waved to the people.

Now that common people call the Queen Chitose, she can't be so stingy.

Tantai Xiyao immediately ordered that all the subjects who came to kneel and worship would receive a red envelope, ranging in size from one tael of silver to a maximum of ten taels of silver.

Originally these banknotes were meant for the emperor, but now it's better, the queen sent them out in advance.

Du Ze, the Minister of Rites, had no choice. After all, he could not refute the Queen's order.

Tang Yu, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, could only smile bitterly. Now he had to spend millions more taels of silver.

Lu Hao discovered that he had successfully brought the red envelope from his previous life to the Qianyuan Continent, and it was very diffusible and highly accepted by the people.

After all, this is a real banknote!
From this point of view, the ancestor worship that originally only took half a day, it is estimated that it is good to be able to make it back today.

It is said to be an ancestor worship, but in fact it is to take the son, daughter and concubines to visit the Royal Ancestral Temple. It is completely a group outing.

The Royal Ancestral Temple was built on a large mountain in the north, near the royal hunting ground. It is said that Feng Shui masters were invited to select the site to ensure that the future generations would last for thousands of years.

Although Lu Hao didn't really believe in this, the old scholars from the Ministry of Rites and Qin Tian Jian asked him to follow the rules and not mess up the ancestral system of etiquette.

Du Ze, the Minister of Etiquette, was in charge of this matter. Qiudie was his sister-in-law, so he naturally followed him and also named Qiudie in the Ancestral Temple.

In the future, every prince and grandson of the Lu family will leave their name here, and the children who marry the queen and concubines will also be recorded in the book for the admiration of future generations.

Chen Yuhuan and Dong Xiaowan came with their sons and daughters, as well as so many concubines in the harem, and even a few who were pregnant.

After all, each of their names will be recorded here, and the children will also be recorded in the royal history.

The Royal Ancestral Temple is very large, almost occupying the front hill. The back hill is where the people who will guard the Ancestral Temple will live, and there are special guards on duty.

Lu Hao looked around and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"Du Ze, I want to build several statues. Which places do you think are more suitable?"

"Your Majesty, one can be built in this square, one can be built in the central square of Yandi City, and one can be built in Hengyang City..."

Du Ze immediately elaborated.

"In this case, come up with a plan and your etiquette department will be fully responsible for it."

Lu Hao said casually.

"I will obey the emperor's will." Du Ze said happily.

Many people present felt that the emperor wanted to show off his great achievements.

Little did he know that Lu Hao wanted to build the statue in order to absorb the power of faith. Otherwise, he would not have wasted so much time and money.

Du Ze was overjoyed and immediately arranged for someone to draft a plan.

Under the arrangement of Qin Tianjian, Lu Hao and others knelt down to worship their ancestors, but they did not know that the memorial tablets enshrined were the parents' spiritual tablets of the original owner of the body.

After offering sacrifices to ancestors, they then offered sacrifices to heaven, praying for God’s favor on the new Chinese empire.

On the circular altar, a blazing flame was lit, and a circle of wizards in strange costumes jumped up around the flames.

Lu Hao personally stepped forward, knelt down and prayed to heaven and earth for destiny.

Streams of fire soared into the sky, seeming to break through the entire sky. The other civil and military officials, led by the cabinet ministers, also fell to their knees.

"God bless China! God bless China..."

The shouts one after another resounded throughout the sky.

Rays of sunlight penetrated the clouds and hit the altar, like a miracle. The surrounding snow melted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lu Hao felt warm all over his body, and the concubines in the harem behind him obviously felt the same way, and now they also looked surprised and confused.

The wizards who were circling around the altar finally stopped and collectively knelt on the ground, chanting words and kowtowing in prayer.

The leading wizard threw a turtle shell into the fire and kept flying on the flames. The flames were even more intense at this time.

Suddenly, the turtle shell flew out from the flames and landed in front of the leading wizard.
He raised his hand in the air and looked at the textures burned on it, feeling very excited.

"Your Majesty, this hexagram indicates great auspiciousness! Great auspiciousness! The destiny of the country is hidden in the dragon. The dragon soars across the sea. The country surrenders and the world is at peace..."

The leading wizard reported loudly.

"Hahaha... God bless China! God bless China!"

Lu Haole laughed wildly.

"God bless China! God bless China..."

The concubines and civil and military officials in the harem shouted in unison, and the sound shook the sky.

Since God has favored China so much, what else can Lu Hao not do?

News has come from Hengyang City that various researches have made breakthrough progress.

As long as the basic industry develops, Lu Hao will be confident to lead the entire Qianyuan Continent into a new industrial era.

Lu Hao actually wanted to visit Hengyang City, but Liu Rufeng gave them all a holiday and went home to celebrate the New Year.

Therefore, Lu Hao could only wait until the New Year before going over to take a look.

When he returned to the palace, it was getting late, so Lu Hao naturally went to Sun Shiya's place.

After all, Xue Yunxi and Xu Zimo are with her now, and they also participated in ancestor worship and heaven today, so they can be regarded as members of the Lu family.

In fact, the queen had arranged a separate palace for the two of them. However, the three of them agreed to besiege the emperor tonight, so naturally they did not return to their own palace.

After dinner, Lu Hao hugged each other.
