Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1084 Yinshan Sacrificial Situation Movement

The behavior of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors offering sacrifices to heaven and enshrining Zen was too far away after all, and the so-called historians at that time were not sound, so there were not many written records left at all, and it is not clear what the situation was in ancient times. In the Han Dynasty, the only early act of offering sacrifices to Zen that can be referred to was held by Qin Shihuang in the pre-Qin period.

  The talented and general Qin Shihuang destroyed the six kingdoms, unified the world, and established a unified empire, the Qin Dynasty. Qin Shihuang did not ignore the existence of heaven. Qin Shihuang not only set up four temples in the capital to worship the gods of the five directions, but also went to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

  Although Qin Shihuang's main purpose was to flaunt his own great achievements, and to deter the six kingdoms of Shandong, there was indeed a lack of sincerity, but it was also from that time that Feng Chan became an important way to emphasize the power of the king.

  Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty is a typical representative. He went to Mount Tai eight times in his life to enshrine Zen...

   Of course, did Emperor Wu of the Han do this to show how much he respected the gods of heaven and earth?

hehe.

  It's like Liu Xie now, standing at the foot of the Yin Mountain with a solemn expression, but how much is thinking about the gods of heaven and earth in his heart?

  Although the Fengzen ceremony has been simplified a lot, it still cannot be taken lightly.

  Yin Mountain’s mountain road has been sorted out by dispatching personnel a few days ago. Although it cannot be said to be extremely smooth, at least the muddy and rugged places are much less. On the top of Yinshan Mountain, materials were collected from the local area, and the original platform was gathered up to be more clean and tidy, and then red and yellow silks were hung on the surrounding trees to make a new decoration.

  As Liu Xie, he naturally stood at the foot of Yinshan Mountain after burning incense, fasting and bathing, and was ready to start the entire ritual of enshrining Zen. It's just that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty went up to Mount Tai by riding a chariot, but this time, Liu Xie had to climb up by himself. Fortunately, this yin mountain is not high.

   Liu Xie looked serious, even a little nervous. He was more serious and cautious than in the Academy, or even in the Hall of Valor in Pingyang. After all, maybe there are gods above this sky, maybe the ancestors of the Han family are all watching him, how can we not make Liu Xie nervous?

In fact, the one in front of me is not the real Yinshan Mountain, but I don’t know if it’s because the real Juxu Mountain is far away, or there are other changes at that time, but since the Han family erected the stone tablet commemorating Wei Qing’s sealing of the wolf and Juxu on the After entering here, then this place naturally becomes a place with a certain meaning...

   "The auspicious day has come! Hold burnt! Sacrifice Zen!"

  The well-trained voice of the ceremony officer is like a human body amplifier, spreading the sound far away.

   burnt, in fact, is a huge bonfire. Perhaps the people of the Han Dynasty were used to the majestic atmosphere, or they felt that the gods were in the sky, and the targets that were too small would not be noticed by the gods, so they piled firewood into a hill as tall as two people, and then set fire to it. The flames were raging, the heat wave was churning within a hundred meters, and the smoke column could be seen rising into the sky ten miles away.

  Then after the burnt ceremony, there will be a congratulatory speech for offering sacrifices to Zen.

   The congratulatory speech was read by Fei Qian. Of course, no one rushed to do it, but the problem is that Liu Xie ordered Fei Qian to read it. Maybe it was Liu Xie's psychological compensation for his suspicious behavior a few days ago?

  Fei Qian also dressed differently today. A white inner shirt, a red middle coat, a black outer robe, and a purple ribbon tied around the waist, together with a pouch embroidered with a tiger head pattern, and a tall virtuous crown, replaced by a civil servant After the decoration, the **** bravery of the original military uniform was slightly reduced by three points, but a little more refined.

  Fei Qian took a step forward, turned his back to the fire, untied the yellow fine silk bound on the congratulatory silk, unfolded it, and looked around for a week, his mid-spirited voice echoed under the shadowy mountain.

"...The husband was born in ancient times, and the sky gave birth to the people. The virtuous and prosperous, there is no rebellion. The three emperors are far away, and what is lost can be heard. The six classics are biography, and one point is seen. The book once said that the head of state is bright, and the stock is good. ..."

"...The virtue of the great man, the peaks spring up with clear springs, the streams overflow, and the majestic four directions. The upper reaches are smooth for nine days, and the lower ones are eight. Light…"

"...The grace of the Son of Heaven is covered with clouds. The nectar and auspicious rains make it possible to swim in the earth. The Jiangqiong River flows, and the fine valleys are bound. grant..."

"...all kinds of beasts, please my emperor. White quality and black badge, its appearance is excellent. Min Min Mu Mu, Jun Junyou. Gai heard his voice, and now he is blessed. Jue's journey is lost, and it is bestowed by Tianrui. This is like Yu Shun, Yu Xingde is thick..."

"... Wanwan Huanglong, rises with virtue; shows off its color, shines brightly and prospers. Zhengyang is obvious, and it is full of joy. It is recorded in the legend, and it is ordered to take advantage of it. There are rules, so there is no need to argue. Follow the class. Apartment, to be sealed by Luan..."

It is not easy to read the congratulatory speech, not because of reading, this congratulatory speech is not difficult, anyway, as long as you can read the words, basically there is no problem in reading the congratulatory speech once, the problem is that after reading the congratulatory speech, you have to put a huge amount of money into it. Go among the burnt fire and burn it for the world to know.

  However, with such a large pile of fire, the heat can be felt within a hundred meters, let alone closer. The key is not to use other people's hands when throwing, and the congratulations are thrown out of the burnt fire and stained with soil because of insufficient skill. This is tantamount to being unclean.

The silk is very light, and there are only very thin wooden sticks as thick as a little finger at both ends. Although some are a little heavy, compared with the flames that are burning and steaming in a fire that is nearly two people tall, it is indeed too much. lighter. Therefore, in order to throw the congratulations made of silk into the burnt fire accurately, those personnel often had to stand very close, and even their robes and beards would be burned by the fire.

  But for Fei Qian, this task is not too difficult, in addition to requiring a little arm strength, you can also add some tricks...

After the congratulatory speech was finished, Fei Qian secretly pulled out a small iron rod from under his arm from his sleeve. Anyway, the color of the iron rod was almost the same as that of the black robe, and it was facing away from the extremely bright burnt The fire, under the cover of his sleeves, was caught in the thin silk of the congratulations without anyone noticing.

   With the extra weight, Fei Qian then **** the message with yellow silk, raised his hands horizontally, walked to the burnt fire, and threw the message into the flames safely and effortlessly.

   "Certificate!" said Li Guanlang beside him, "Please climb the mountain and seal it, Your Majesty!"

  The so-called Feng Chan refers to the two parts of Feng and Zen. The emperor is the son of heaven, so there is naturally a mysterious connection with the gods, and this connection is naturally not only reflected in the text chapters, but also in these sacrificial rituals. The congratulations on the land can be replaced by ministers, so the whispers with the sky cannot be done by anyone, but by the emperor Liu Xie himself.

  Anyway, since the Son of Heaven and the God of Heaven are a family, they need to say some private words of their own, so it is not surprising that the emperors of the Han Dynasty, and even all the emperors before the Han Dynasty, did not see the prayers to Fengchan.

  Fei Qian and the accompanying officials followed Liu Xie to the top of the mountain step by step, but they could not follow Liu Xie to the small altar on the top of the mountain. That place, today, belongs to Liu Xie alone.

   Fei Qian stopped, and watched Liu Xie move forward together with other officials.

  Among the hundreds of officials, everyone's expression is not the same.

  Some people were so excited that their emotions were on their faces, some people were so solemn that they remained motionless, some people kept their faces indifferently, some people kept their eyes rolling around, and some people just stared at Fei Qian's figure, wondering what they were thinking...

   This time, Fei Qian stole the show.

Throughout the dynasties, those who acted as the emperor's forerunner and read the congratulatory speech for the emperor in such large-scale sacrificial activities were basically either virtuous and respected scholars, or already high-ranking and powerful Sangongs. It can be said that it was the first time for the young one, and it was unique since the Han Dynasty.

  In this way, in addition to showing Liu Xie's favor for Fei Qian, it seems that there is also a possibility that Fei Qian will become prime minister in the future?

   Such thoughts arise in the hearts of almost everyone, so the eyes cast on Fei Qian's figure are also very complicated, envious, jealous, appreciative, vicious, and different.

  After Fude learned that Liu Xie made Fei Qian's congratulatory speech, his head has been buzzing, and it hasn't stopped until now. Logically speaking, even if people like great Confucians and sages are not selected, in terms of status and high status, it should be Fu De's father, Fu Wancai, and it's not Fei Qian's turn...

  But the reality is so cruel.

  Maybe it’s because Fu Wan has always been extremely low-key, or maybe it’s because Fei Qian’s weight in Bingbei is really too high. Anyway, I didn’t finish anything this time, um, I didn’t have anything other than escorting.

  In such a situation, even Fude felt a little embarrassed to lift his head, as if the eyes of the surrounding officials were all focused on him, and those small and inaudible whispers seemed to be mocking the Fu family.

  If things go on like this, when will Fushi get ahead?

  Damn Feiqian!

  My father, a dignified relative in the dynasty, is also a well-educated person, but he has to bear the shame brought by this scorpion!

  Fude could only close his eyes, and didn't even dare to take another look, for fear that after seeing it, he would lose control of his emotions and do some acts of sabotage...

  Vode thought he was covering up well, but in fact, his blushing face and slightly trembling body fell into Yang Xiu's eyes, almost as if he had written it out clearly.

  Yang Xiu rolled his eyes, looked at Fude, then at Fei Qian in front of him, and then at Liu Xie who was walking towards the altar...

  Liu Xie climbed up to the small altar on the top of the mountain step by step, his thin and small body tried his best to show his calmness that did not match his age.

The flags fluttering on the altar, the silk cloth wrapped around the bedding, and the sandalwood lit in the bronze incense burner also make the whole altar mysterious. When Liu Xie knelt down before placing the sacrificial table for the three animals, All the personnel including Fei Qian also knelt down to the ground together.

  The wind is light.

   The cloud is light.

  A half-old child has become the head of an empire. But at this moment, this half-grown child is kneeling down and begging sincerely for the sake of the empire and himself...

I don't know how long it has passed, and Fei Qian doesn't know what Liu Xie said to the **** on the altar, so Liu Xie stood up silently, and after staying quietly on the altar for a while, Just walked back.

   So far, a simple yet grand ceremony of enshrining Zen has come to an end. Originally, such a large-scale sacrificial offering ceremony still had programs such as interviewing the common people and summoning the chieftains, but one was that there were not many people on the Yinshan side to engage in these gimmicks, and the other, after all, Yinshan also belonged to The extreme pain in the hearts of these Hu people on the back, if someone like Yu Fuluo is allowed to come over, it is tantamount to saying hello to Yu Fuluo's face, which is not conducive to the stability of Bingbei, so Fei Qian should be If there is no such thing, all of them are omitted.

  At the foot of the mountain, Liu Xie stood silently, watching the burnt fire whose flames were gradually shrinking, the brilliance in his eyes was beating, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

   After a long time, Liu Xie returned to the Huagai car, but called Fei Qian to come forward.

   "...Fei Aiqing," Liu Xie said in a low voice after sending the attendants far away, "...I will return soon... Would Fei Aiqing come back to Luoyang with me?"

   "Your Majesty, the minister did not entertain you well?" Fei Qian was a little surprised.

  Liu Xie shook his head slowly.

These days, Liu Xie met a lot of people and listened to some people's suggestions, and then slowly discovered that although Feiqian's business here in Bingbei is good, it is a bit remote after all, and it belongs to the barbarians such as Xianbei in the north. Under the front of the army, although Xianbei and the Xiongnu are now defeated and controlled by Fei Qian, no one dares to guarantee what the future will hold.

   Binh Duong is prosperous, but what about the rest of the place?

  Liu Xie came all the way, and saw the settlements of many refugees just now. Naturally, it is impossible to have much prosperity, and it is not bad to be able to barely survive.

  Thus, the suggestions of returning to the original center of gravity of the big man, and returning to Luoyang where Liu Xie grew up, gradually became louder and clearer in Liu Xie's heart. After finishing the Yinshan sacrifice, Liu Xie also felt that it might be better for him to go back earlier, at least in Luoyang City, return to a place he is familiar with, restore Luoyang's imperial city, and restore the normal ruling order of the Great Han Dynasty , This is what the emperor of the Han Dynasty should do most.

"...I am the Son of Heaven of the Great Han Dynasty, so I must return to the capital of the Great Han Dynasty...It has nothing to do with Aiqing, Aiqing doesn't need to worry too much..." Liu Xie stared at Feiqian and said, "...Now Luoyang is near, the army is weak, and the people are uneasy, so I don't know Is Fei Aiqing willing to lead the army back to Beijing with me?"
