Chapter 111: The Temple of Heaven Prayers for Sins and Edicts for Sins!
The Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperors of the past dynasties sacrificed to the heavens, and whenever there is a major event, the emperor must pray to heaven here to pray for the peace of the country and the people, and all things go smoothly.
And in history, the emperor who pleaded guilty to heaven at the Temple of Heaven is probably the only one His Majesty Li Er.
It stands to reason that since His Majesty Li Er has issued an edict of guilt, this matter can basically be stopped, but no one thought that His Majesty Li Er not only issued an edict of guilt, but also wanted to sacrifice to the sky at the Temple of Heaven, and all the mouths of the court and the opposition were blocked at once.
After all, as His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, His Majesty Li Er has always been known as a Ming Jun, and now he has suffered from the drought in Shandong and the three locust plagues, and even Chang'an has been affected, but no matter what, the Tang Dynasty has not yet fallen into internal and external troubles.
But in this case, His Majesty Li Er directly issued an edict for his own sin, and then prayed for his sins in the Temple of Heaven, it can be said that since ancient times, there are not many people who can be as humble as His Majesty Li Er in the way of the emperor.
With such behavior, His Majesty Li Er can indeed be called the first emperor of the ages, of course, the reason why His Majesty Li Er has done so much is indeed because His Majesty Li Er has the heart of a wise monarch and the character of a wise monarch.
But another important reason is that His Majesty Li Er's throne is not right after all, although no one dares to talk about this matter now, but this is like a thorn deep into His Majesty Li Er's heart.
From His Majesty Li Er's insomnia, coupled with the vomiting of blood and fainting in the Taiji Hall three days ago, it can be seen that His Majesty Li Er still cares about these things very much!
Even judging from the historical development of the previous dynasty, like His Majesty Li Er, who can kill his brother and kill his brother as a prince and ascend to the throne, His Majesty Li Er is still the first person in the ages!
Among the kings of later generations, there is only one Ming Chengzu Zhu Di who took the throne from his nephew Zhu Yunwen, which can be compared, but the two are different, His Majesty Li Er's Xuanwumen change was first done by His Majesty Li Er, although the prince has long been dissatisfied with His Majesty Li Er, and has been planning similar events,
But after all, he didn't wait for the prince's side to make a move, and His Majesty Li Er hit two hammers three times and solved the matter directly.
And the change of Xuanwumen is almost a day for the entire Tang Dynasty, and the matter of changing the dynasty is over!
On the other hand, Zhu Di, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty who can be compared with His Majesty Li Er, although he took the throne from his nephew Zhu Yunwen, it was only under Zhu Yunwen's repeated persecution that he rose up to fight back.
Before that, the Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty had slept in the pigsty for a few years, pretending to be crazy and stupid for a few years, even if he rebelled later, it was a full four years.
If it weren't for the Yongle Emperor's outstanding surprise soldiers to go around to the south of the Yangtze River, then give another four or five years, and this battle will not be over!
Compared with His Majesty Li Er's iron-fisted methods, the Yongle Emperor seems to be a little inferior, and after completing the largest factional blood exchange in history with the Xuanwumen Revolution and ascending to the throne,
In order to eliminate the impact of this improper position to the greatest extent, His Majesty Li Er can only do his best to manage and develop this Tang Empire with all his heart and soul!
But fortunately, under the governance of His Majesty Li Er and the concerted efforts of the Manchu Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty finally had a thriving improvement, and even made His Majesty Li Er have the determination to dare to wrestle with the Turks.
But who would have thought that at this critical juncture, there would be a drought in Shandong and a plague of three locusts, and such a natural disaster came out, and His Majesty Li Er's mood can naturally be imagined!
……
Today's Temple of Heaven, the atmosphere is solemn, His Majesty Li Er carried out a sensational prayer ceremony in the Temple of Heaven in Chang'an, although before the prayer ceremony, Wang De's father-in-law had already led people to clean the Temple of Heaven several times,
The locusts that were killed on the Temple of Heaven were able to fall into a small mountain, but even so, when His Majesty Li Er sacrificed to the sky, the number of locusts on the Temple of Heaven still did not decrease?
The dense locusts, jumping wantonly on the Temple of Heaven, and there was a buzzing sound, which formed a strong and stark contrast with His Majesty Li Er's solemn ceremony of worshipping the heavens at this moment.
"Only heaven benefits the people, and heaven opens up the soil; There is a way in the sky, and there is only a manifestation of the kind. Fuwei God, Xi Fu Xiang in the Three Realms; Listen to the high and humble, and be the true ruler of the ten directions......"
On the Temple of Heaven, His Majesty Li Er sang the sacrifice to the sky, and his voice was tragic, this sudden locust plague was indeed a huge blow to His Majesty Li Er.
But His Majesty Li Er's quick response and humble mentality made many people at a loss for a while, looking at the emperors of all dynasties, there are probably very few people with such an open-minded attitude of His Majesty Li Er!
When the house dragon came to the Temple of Heaven, His Majesty Li Er's heavenly sacrifice ceremony had just carried out this most important link!
"Father! …”
The house dragon looked at His Majesty Li Er above the Temple of Heaven, but there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, others didn't know the physical condition of His Majesty Li Er, could he still not know the house dragon?
But even so, His Majesty Li Er's spine is still so straight, but the house dragon seems to see that the dragon chair that was originally sitting under His Majesty Li Er's ass is now smashed on the backbone of His Majesty Li Er!
This dragon chair is not a dragon chair, it is the country of the Tang Dynasty, the subjects of the Tang Dynasty, and the thousands of people in the entire Central Plains.
The country of the Tang Dynasty was not Li Er's, but only His Majesty Li Er could make the Tang Dynasty a Datang.
This world is the body of His Majesty Li Er, the drought in Shandong is equivalent to His Majesty Li Er being stabbed, and the locust plague in Sandao is directly equivalent to breaking one of His Majesty Li Er's arms!
Datang, so sick!
But even so, His Majesty Li Er has to fight hard, because he is the lord of the Tang Dynasty, and he chooses to sit on this dragon chair, so he can't get up easily!
Because all parties are guilty, and sin is bowing!
“… May the gods of yin and yang be unpredictable to show the full heart of selflessness. Hong casts mana, and is auspicious; Responsive to requests, unrelenting. The wind and rain are smooth, and there is no disaster; The five grains are abundant, and the six animals are prosperous! ”
On the Temple of Heaven, His Majesty Li Er's edict has been read to the end, and with the last sentence of His Majesty Li Er!
Even though this prayer ceremony was carried out to the end, His Majesty Li Er stood on the altar of heaven for a long time.
This Temple of Heaven had been cleaned several times by Gonggong Wang De before, but even so, now His Majesty Li Er was full of locusts everywhere he could see.
There were many civil and military officials under the Temple of Heaven, and each of them had a dozen or even hundreds of locusts lying on their bodies, and the ground was densely packed with a layer of grass-yellow insects wriggling.
His Majesty Li Er's Temple of Heaven prayer is over, but the matter is still not over, the Temple of Heaven is praying, His Majesty Li Er is not doing it for the people of the world to see, but the matter has come to this point, His Majesty Li Er seems to have no better way to solve these locust plagues in front of him except praying for sins in the Temple of Heaven and praying for God to alleviate this locust plague.
