Chapter 140: The Wei Family’s Ancestor Worship Ceremony, the Descendant of the Wei Yuan Family
This decree issued by Zhao Zhen is to build momentum for the Wei family.
From then on, the Wei family became a famous family.
And Wei Yuan is the direct descendant of Wei Qingzheng'er Ba Jing.
The Wei family, originating from the lineage of Wei Yuan, can be called a 'prominent family' or a 'worldly family'.
At this moment, Zhonglie Temple.
Hedong Wei family, Liangzhe Wei family, Shu Dao Wei family and so on.
In the entire Zhou Dynasty, almost all of the most famous Wei families, whether civil, military or business, sent representatives here.
They came here, firstly, to help each other, and secondly, to make the Wei family more prestigious.
The emperor personally issued an order to trace Wei Yuan's ancestors back to Wei Qing.
This is a great opportunity for the Wei family members all over the world to unite and reach a higher level.
Except for several famous Wei clans in Zhou Dynasty.
Eight princes, including Duke Fu, Duke An, and Duke Han, as well as nine marquises and some earls, also sent people to visit the Wei family to pay homage to their ancestors.
This is the network of connections Wei Yuan can control now.
It can be said without any hesitation that when these nobles gather together, they can control half of the Zhou Dynasty.
The most surprising thing is.
It's okay to come with honors and nobles. After all, Wei Yuan is the new rich man of the day.
However, Bao Xiaosu, the Qingliu representative in the civil service, actually sent his eldest son.
At this moment, everyone was deeply shocked by the connections Wei Yuan could control.
"Uncle Wei's family has become very famous for a while. Representatives of distinguished officials and civil servants have come to support uncle Wei's family. This is a power that not everyone can possess."
"Brother Bai is right. It would be great if one day our Sheng family could be like the Wei family."
"From today on, no one in Bianjing will look down upon Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion."
"Wei Yuan, you can be called the queen of a famous family!"
"His Majesty personally issued an order and ordered the Ministry of Rites to compile a family tree for him. This is a great honor and the emperor's grace is so great!"
"."
In the midst of everyone's discussion, symphony music started to play.
Some people beat the drums, some play the piano, and some play the pipa.
Is this the music of King Qin breaking the formation?
For a moment, everyone looked extremely surprised.
The Sheng family, the princes' mansions, and the marquis' mansions all immediately started discussing:
"Wei Yuan actually chose to use King Qin's Formation Breaking Music as music to worship his ancestors?"
"What a courageous person. If this matter reaches the ears of the officials, what will the officials think?"
"You don't know yet? This is what the officials mean. The officials have said that when the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty worship their ancestors, they should use highly prestigious vocal music such as breaking formation music."
"By using war songs to worship ancestors, Uncle Zhongyong can be regarded as the first of its kind in ancient times and modern times."
"."
Thumb——
Thumb——
Thumb——
As dozens of war drums continued to sound.
It completely overshadowed everyone's discussion.
Everyone was attracted by the sound of the drums, and when they looked carefully, they saw that the people beating the drums were all wearing armor.
they are.
"That seems to be Chen Yuanzhi, nicknamed General Niu by the military. It was him who burned the food and grass left by wild beggars outside Daizhou City."
"What? Is he Chen Yuanzhi? A dignified general came to play drums for Wei Yuan?"
"Look over there, it's Xiao Yuming. It is said that this person, like General Wei, also has a reputation as a scholar and is praised as a Confucian general by the military officers."
"The person standing next to him is Shen Qing, right? It is said that in the battle of Daizhou, Shen Qing used two iron axes to kill many generals of the Xixia army."
"Yang Huairen from the Yang family? Why is he here too?"
"."
As names were called one by one.
More and more people were once again shocked.
People like Chen Yuanzhi and Shen Qing were all great generals in the world. They were rising stars in the army who had gone through bloody battles in the Battle of Daizhou.
But now, here, just to play the drum for Wei Yuan again?
"I have to say that it is these generals who are powerful when beating drums."
"Nonsense, who among their brothers doesn't have a hundred and eighty lives in their hands? How can they lose their power by beating the drum? I'm afraid that even the Lord of Hell will be scared away when he comes here!"
"Xu Changzhi is here, but he is also in military uniform? The Wei family is worshiping their ancestors. Is he here to watch or to take charge?"
"The Marquis Yongyi's house will have a good show in the future. The bastard will rule the roost. I wonder whose family this title will go to?"
"Okay, just say a few words. I am now a guard, so don't offend me!"
"."
next moment.
Xu Changzhi, who was wearing armor, unexpectedly came to a big bell.
Instead of the young novice, ring the bell.
The general beats the drum, and the guard rings the bell.
This kind of treatment, no matter how you look at it, doesn't look like a mere ancestor worship in an uncle's house.
boom--
boom--
boom--
As the bells rang.
Wei Yuan finally came here slowly.
He was wearing armor and looked majestic.
The guards on the left and right opened the way, not the monks in the temple or other members of the Wei clan who were responsible for presiding over the etiquette.
"Uncle Wei is actually wearing armor to worship his ancestors? Are you afraid of offending your ancestors?"
"What's the collision? You haven't seen the situation clearly yet? The guards are clearing the way, the generals are beating drums and ringing bells, breaking formations is the music of worshiping ancestors, and people recognize Wei Qing as their ancestors."
"This means that from now on, the Wei family will be a general family!"
"Therefore, why shouldn't people wear armor to worship their ancestors?"
"I see."
"."
Standing behind Wei Yuan.
They were Wei Shuyi, who was wearing imperial uniform, and Wei Ruyi, who was wearing Chinese clothing.
Minglan stood in the Sheng family's team, looked at the scene in front of her, and murmured in her heart:
"How great would it be if I was also from the Wei family?"
At this time, the voices of Hualan, Changbai, Rulan and others rang in her ears.
"Minglan, your mother looks so beautiful in the imperial robes, beautiful and majestic."
"Uncle Wei is extraordinary and brave, and really makes people yearn for him."
"Sixth sister, your uncle's family will become a family of generals in the future."
"."
There is another advantage for Wei Yuan to recognize Wei Qing as his ancestor.
That is, with the name of Wei Qing, he not only has a certain reputation among the people.
Even the prestige in the army will rise.
Wei Yuan is in front, Wei Shuyi and Wei Ruyi are behind.
The three siblings look very tough.
They are ready to step onto the steps of ancestor worship under the attention of everyone.
At this moment, they know very well that every step they take at the moment indicates that the Wei family has stepped onto a new level.
The Wei family is really going to prosper.
At this moment, many people are praising Wei Yuan for his bravery, Wei Shuyi for his grace, and Wei Ruyi for his tenacity.
When Wei Yuan stepped onto the first step, Wei Shuyi and Wei Ruyi suddenly stopped moving forward.
Wei Yuan was puzzled and was about to turn back.
Wei Shuyi hurriedly said: "Little brother, don't look back, keep moving forward!"
Wei Shuyi echoed: "Little brother, my elder sister and I can only send you here, you keep moving forward, don't look back, don't look back."
Wei Yuan was moved.
Wei Shuyi said again: "Little brother, keep moving forward, don't look back."
They didn't plan to follow Wei Yuan to the altar.
Because they were married.
Before the Wei family name, the husband's surname had to be added.
So, they stopped, and could no longer protect Wei Yuan from the wind and rain like they did in childhood.
The road ahead was bumpy, and Wei Yuan needed to walk it alone.
Wei Shuyi and his sister could only send him here, but Wei Yuan knew that if there was a day when he really turned back, his two sisters would definitely stand behind him and wait for him.
After hearing their voices.
Wei Yuan's eyes gradually became tough, and he looked at the big tripod placed in the center of the ancestral altar.
There are also tablets of the ancestors of the Wei family.
And the bronze statue of Wei Qing.
Wei Yuan took a deep breath and nodded solemnly, as if responding to what the Wei Shuyi sisters said.
The next road can only be walked by himself.
Wei Yuan took another step forward.
At this moment, suddenly.
Xu Changzhi, Chen Daniu, Lin Zhaoyuan, Xiao Yuming and other direct generals of Daizhou who followed Wei Yuan to fight, all shouted loudly:
"The worshippers are in place, and the Wei family's ancestral worship ceremony begins!"
"The worshippers are in place, and the Wei family's ancestral worship ceremony begins!"
"."
An elderly man from the Hedong Wei family said loudly:
"The worshippers are in place."
"Tongzan, wash your hands, visit the gods and burn incense!"
"."
Wei Yuan completed it step by step according to the ancestral worship process.
The Wei Shuyi sisters couldn't help but shed tears when they saw this scene.
In the past, the little sloppy ghost who followed them and had a runny nose in their eyes was a follower.
In the past, they loved the child the most.
Today, he has finally grown up to be someone that others look up to.
In the past, they were his supporters.
Today, he is their supporter.
He is the supporter of the entire Wei family.
The Wei family has finally welcomed this day.
"Dad, mom, grandfather, grandmother, ancestors of the Wei family, please watch over me from your spirits in heaven and see how I can bring glory to our Wei family."
