    Li Jun's matter has finally passed. As for the impact this matter has had on the Guanlong family, it is really a matter of opinion and it is difficult to say.

    In the sixth month of Renzi (the 29th), Yang Guang appointed Yang Su as Shangshu Ling, with the title of Sikong; he made Yang Jin, the king of Yuzhang, the king of Qi, and added 4,000 households in the city.

    Because of Huang Mingyuan, Yang Guang suppressed Yang Jian for a long time, but as the only two sons of the emperor, Yang Jian could not let him share the same title with several nephews and nephews all day long, so it was imperative that the prince reward him.  However, it was just an empty title. Although four thousand households were added, no other positions were granted, so Huang Mingyuan had no objection.

    In July, Xinyou (ninth day), Huang Mingyuan was ordered to go to Hedong to worship Hebo of the Yellow River.

    Since King Simang of Xia, the Central Plains dynasties have had the habit of worshiping the God of the Yellow River.  Every year in June and July, the Yellow River floods, and at this time, the court will hold sacrificial ceremonies to beg the Yellow River God to bless the Central Plains with good weather.  The level of this kind of sacrifice is not too high, but it is not too low either. Generally, the emperor does not need to visit in person.  If it were another dynasty, a relatively high-status prince would be arranged to perform sacrifices on behalf of the emperor.  However, the situation of the Sui Dynasty was too special, and there was basically no suitable candidate for the prince. Therefore, after Yang Guang ascended the throne, he arranged for the prime minister to go to the Heshen Temple to perform sacrifices every year.

    This year it¡¯s Huang Mingyuan¡¯s turn.

    The official name of the Yellow River River God is called the Yellow River Hebo, who manages the world's rivers.  He Bo's original name was Feng Yi. Legend has it that he drowned in the Yellow River, then went to heaven to complain, and took the opportunity to get the official position of He Bo, and the He God Temple was in Puban City, east of Hedong.

    Getting such a prestigious position should have been an honorable thing, but the Yellow River Master was not a good thing in Huang Mingyuan's eyes.  Although I don¡¯t know whether gods exist or not, none of the stories left by the Yellow River Hebo are good.

    "Looking at the ocean and sighing" and "making people laugh and be generous" in "Autumn Water"; He Bo's dereliction of duty led Dayu to control the flood; it is said that He Bo had a faint fragrance and was described as a playboy; He Bo, as a Phoenix man, married Concubine Mi and then cheated on her every day;  Confucius's student Tantai Mieming crossed the Yellow River and was robbed of his white jade by Hebo; when Ximen Bao was ruling Ye, Hebo married a wife; after Hebo spread to Japan, he became a demon kappa Anyway, there are no gods in ancient China like  He is so flawed.

    ¡° Even Huang Mingyuan, a time traveler, looks down on such a god.

    Therefore, Huang Mingyuan went to Hedong casually. Anyway, it was just to worship a wanderer.  Yanzi said long ago, "He Bo regards water as his country and fish and turtles as his people. If it doesn't rain for a long time, the water springs will fall, all the rivers will dry up, the country will perish, and the people will be destroyed. He alone doesn't want rain?"  What's the use?" If it doesn't rain, He Bo himself can't protect himself; if there are floods, He Bo's strength will be greatly increased. How can He Bo protect the people's good weather?

    But Huang Mingyuan doesn't care about this kind of thing, and the rest of them are not full of piety.

    When he arrived in Hedong, Huang Mingyuan left everything to his subordinates and felt at ease.  The Taichang Temple officials and local Puzhou officials who followed Huang Mingyuan were very familiar with the process of worshiping He Bo, so Huang Mingyuan didn't have to worry about it at all.

    July 15th, the Ghost Festival.

    Huang Mingyuan presided over the sacrifice to the river god on the bank of the Yellow River.  I don¡¯t know who chose this day to hold sacrifices at this time, and I am not afraid of the ghosts walking at night.

    Officials of Taichang Temple built a high platform by the Yellow River and placed three animal sacrifices.  Huang Mingyuan read out the sacrificial text on behalf of the emperor, and then sank the three animal sacrifices such as pigs, cattle, and sheep into the river, and at the same time threw a black jade into the water.  Legend has it that when Si Mang, the monarch of the Xia Dynasty, offered sacrifices to the River God for the first time, he sank a black jade gui that Emperor Shun had given to Dayu in recognition of his successful flood control into the river to express his piety and pray to the River God.  As a result, this habit became common later on.

    Huang Mingyuan couldn't help but complain that it was a good thing he didn't marry the River God, otherwise what would he have become.

    After the sacrifice, Huang Mingyuan brought a big carp from the Yellow River back to Luoyang, the eastern capital.  This big carp in the Yellow River means that this is a gift from the river god, and it is an auspicious sign, and the world will be peaceful from now on.

    Regardless of whether Huang Mingyuan believes it or not, everyone in the world believes it anyway.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off, no matter who is basically a puppet, completely listening to the command of the ceremonial officer.  Not to mention showing off, even if it is slightly different from etiquette, it is also disrespectful.  Huang Mingyuan was originally curious about this sacrifice. After all, it is a traditional culture that has been lost to later generations of our country.  But after the sacrifice, there were no surprises at all, only trouble.

    After worshiping He Bo, Huang Mingyuan returned to Luoyang on the morning of the 17th in the farewell ceremony of local officials in Puzhou.  There are five hundred miles from Puban to Luoyang. Because he was on a business trip and brought a group of courtesy officials, Huang Mingyuan was not in a hurry and planned to spend five or six days.Just go back to Dongdu.

    On the afternoon of the 19th, Huang Mingyuan and his party arrived at the ferry in Shaanxian County (now Sanmenxia City, Henan Province), and took a boat back to Henan from here.

    It was almost time to arrive at Youshi, and seeing that it was getting late, Huang Mingyuan prepared to rest for the night in Shaanxian County before continuing on his way.

    At Xu time, Huang Mingyuan finished his meal and returned to the post room to rest.  His eyelids had been twitching for the past two days, and Huang Mingyuan was a little uneasy, so today Huang Mingyuan declined the banquet invited by the local magistrate of Shaanxi County and returned to his room early.

    It was still early and Huang Mingyuan couldn't sleep, so he leaned on the couch and read.  On a July night, even if it gets cold, the room is still very hot.  Huang Mingyuan shook his fan and flipped through the book in a moodless manner.  After all, he couldn't stand it anymore, so Huang Mingyuan simply closed the book and closed his eyes to rest.

    This hot weather is really unsettling.

    Huang Mingyuan was drowsily asleep, when Xiong Kuohai opened the door and woke Huang Mingyuan up.

    "My lord, the king's servant from the East Palace is here."

    Huang Mingyuan's head "bang" and his whole body immediately woke up.  Huang Mingyuan immediately got up from the couch and asked, "Where is he?"

    Xiong Kuohai brought the person in, it was Wang Feng, the head of the chamberlain around Yang Zhao, and Huang Mingyuan was also familiar with him.

    As soon as Wang Feng saw Huang Mingyuan, he immediately knelt on the ground and said with a tearful voice: "My lord, please return to Luoyang quickly. His Royal Highness is dying."

    Huang Mingyuan stood up suddenly, stared at Wang Feng and said, "What exactly is going on? Tell me quickly."

    Wang Feng cried and said: "My lord, this morning, the prince suddenly fell ill in the palace, and there was no cure. The imperial doctors diagnosed and treated the prince for a day, but they were unable to do anything. By yesterday morning, the prince was already dead. Mrs.  Concubine Sun saw that there was nothing she could do, so she secretly sent a villain to the east of the river to look for the Duke and ask him to go back and preside over important events."

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan's mind was full of "Yang Zhao can't survive", and he was a little dazed.

    Wang Feng then cried and said: "My lord, please go back quickly. If it's late, I'm afraid it's too late."

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan calmed down and asked Xiong Kuohai to arrange the carriages and horses. He wanted to return to Luoyang overnight.  He also asked Su Yong to lead people to set off immediately to explore the way for Huang Mingyuan and inquire about the specific situation.

    Huang Mingyuan's heart was trembling, but he sighed. After all, this day will come.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
