Chapter 355: The Top of Dongyue

Meng Tian quickly returned to the place where Luan drove with his people, Luan drove safely, and under the leadership of Zhang Kui, all the Qin soldiers protected Luan Jia tightly.

"General Meng is back!" Seeing Meng Tian coming back in the distance, the dust flying from his horseback, some soldiers hurried to report to His Majesty the Emperor.

Meng Tian rode back, dismounted outside Luan's car, walked to the chariot where Ying Zheng was, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists and said: "Chen Meng Tian is incompetent and failed to arrest the assassin who assassinated His Majesty, please punish Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng walked out of the chariot, walked down from the chariot under Zhao Gao's service, walked to Meng Tian, stretched out his hand to help him up, patted the dust on his body for him, and said: "Meng Qing doesn't need to ask me for guilt, these bold assassins are just a group of outlaws, and I haven't taken them seriously. ”

"Your Majesty. Meng Tian stood up, still clenched his fists and said: "Although the minister did not take down these assassins, but the origin of these assassins is well understood, and after the minister escorts His Majesty back to Xianyang, he will personally lead the troops to arrest these thieves and present them to Your Majesty." ”

Ying Zheng nodded, "There is no need for Aiqing to worry about such a thing, Aiqing is my right-hand man, and such a thing can be left to the guards of the nearby counties to do." ”

"No. ”

Zhang Kui walked over with someone and said to Yingzheng: "Your Majesty, the minister has already dealt with the assassin, can you continue to set off?"

Ying Zheng looked around and waved his sleeves, "Okay, then continue to set off." ”

Luan drove on, and Meng Tian and Zhang Kui rode horses and walked in front of Luan.

Zhang Kui opened his mouth and asked Meng Tian, "Today, the general asked the last general to prepare two chariots for His Majesty, did he already know about the assassin's assassination today?"

Meng Tian nodded and replied: "Yes, the day before Xinzheng's departure, the iron guard I arranged in the dark reported to me that there may be remnants of the Six Kingdoms who will be unfavorable to Your Majesty's Luan driving today, but I have no actual evidence, and I am afraid that Your Majesty will be worried, so I asked you to prepare an extra chariot." Sure enough, these thieves really dared to make a move and attacked Luanjia. It's just ......"

"But what?" Zhang Kui asked.

Meng Tian looked at the chariot that was smashed by the hammer but was still following the Luan driving team, and then said, "It's just that I didn't expect this gang of thieves to use such a method, otherwise I would never let Your Majesty continue to tour the east." ”

Zhang Kui was also frightened when he remembered the scene where the powerful assassin threw a hammer at Luan on the sand dune, and the moment when the hammer smashed into the chariot and smashed the chariot and the soldiers driving on the chariot into pieces. This time, I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor's luck is good, or if the assassin's luck is too bad, if the assassin is aiming at the chariot that His Majesty the Emperor is riding, then what the consequences will be, Zhang Kui can't think of it, and he doesn't dare to think about it.

Meng Tian rode his horse and said as he walked: "Fortunately, God protects my Great Qin, His Majesty the Emperor Hong Fu Zetian, but with this assassination attempt, I think these people will definitely not give up, so General Zhang, we should be more cautious in the next journey." ”

Zhang Kui rode on his horse and clasped his fist at Meng Tian and said, "The general is right, the last general will definitely act carefully and swear to protect His Majesty's safety." ”

After Bolangsha, the road ahead has gradually opened up, so Luan's speed is also much faster. The news of His Majesty's assassination at Bolangsha had already spread, so that before Luan arrived in the counties through which His Majesty's eastern tour passed, the garrisons of the local counties went out of the city early to greet him, and then escorted the defenders of the next city to the city, and then returned, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor, so as not to make mistakes in His Majesty's own territory.

Meng Tian also expressed his understanding of the "enthusiasm" of these people, but fortunately, since Bolangsha, there has been no other situation for several consecutive days, until Luan drove close to the end of the Yingzheng East Tour, at the foot of Mount Tai in Qidi.

Mount Tai is one of the original six countries of Qi country, is also called Dai Mountain, Dai Zong, there was a legend, Mount Tai is the time of opening the world, Pangu body fell after the head of the head of the incarnation, for the most divine mountain between heaven and earth, the top of Mount Tai is the closest to the heavens, with the blessing of the sacrifice is the most effective. As early as the time of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, the Yellow Emperor had climbed Mount Tai, and Emperor Shun had also patrolled Mount Tai. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the Shang king Xiangtu built the eastern capital at the foot of Mount Tai, and Zhou Tianzi took Mount Tai as the boundary to divide the princes of Qilu and Qilu, and the princes of the past dynasties of Qi also went to Mount Tai to worship and pray to the heavens, praying for the peace of the country and the people. Even the Confucian sage Confucius was born at the foot of Mount Tai, which added a glorious stroke to the name of Mount Tai.

And Ying Zheng called himself the first emperor, and Prime Minister Li Si engraved the four characters of the order to heaven on the jade seal of the country, so Ying Zheng as the "Son of Heaven" who became the emperor by the mandate of heaven is to see Mount Tai as a symbol of Qin's unification of the world and the right, in order to thank the emperor for his "mandate", he decided to go to Mount Tai to seal the Zen sacrifice.

His Majesty the Emperor's will to worship the heavens on the top of Mount Tai has been transmitted to Linzi, the old capital of Qi State, as early as before the tour, fortunately, there is already a place of sacrifice on the top of Mount Tai, and it does not need to spend too much effort, only need to renovate and rebuild it to use. Therefore, even after the assassination, Luanjia's marching speed accelerated, and after Yingzheng arrived in Linzi, the matter of sealing Chan had already been prepared.

The matter of sealing Zen is not trivial, Ying Zheng arrived in Linzi, burned incense and fasted for three days, and then climbed Mount Tai to seal Zen. And in the past three days, Meng Tian and his people have almost turned the entire Mount Tai upside down, and after making sure that there is no danger on Mount Tai, he put his mind at ease.

On the day of the sealing of Zen, Ying Zheng began to climb the mountain, on both sides of the road to the top of Mount Tai, five steps and a post, ten steps and a sentry, the road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain is not leaky. So much so that in the second half of the mountaineering, Ying Zheng smiled and said to Meng Tian that Aiqing was too worried.

Seal Zen, seal the word, increase the height also, Zen, broad and thick also. Heaven to high respect, the earth after the virtue, so increase the height of Mount Tai to report the sky, the site of the father of Zen Liang to the ground. It is nothing more than to build a high platform on the top of Mount Tai, place tributes and sacrificial things on the high platform, and then have a ceremonial official to recite the words of sacrifice, reach the heavens, and it is to seal Zen.

Mount Tai is towering, if you climb to the top of the mountain step by step, it takes a lot of time to work, fortunately there are predecessors on Mount Tai to dig the mountain road, Ying Zheng can ride a horse to climb the mountain, it takes less than two hours, it reaches the place where the top of the mountain is sealed from the foot of the mountain.

At the top of Mount Tai, the flag is fluttering, and hundreds of Qin soldiers and Qin officials have been waiting here. Seeing His Majesty the Emperor appear in the field of vision, everyone knelt down and bowed together: "Welcome to His Majesty the Emperor, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!"

Ying Zheng rode to the foot of the Feng Chan platform, got off the horse, and opened his mouth to let the kneeling officials and soldiers get up, and then a eunuch stepped forward to sort out Ying Zheng's clothes. After everything was ready, Ying Zheng strode forward and ascended to the Fengzen platform.

The musicians who had been waiting on the side of the Feng Zen platform began to play music, accompanied by the elegant sacrificial music sounded on the top of Mount Tai, and the first emperor of the Great Qin Empire, Yingzheng Taishan Feng Zen finally began.
