On this day, Li Jun called Dong Zhong into the palace for the first time, Dong Zhong is an expert in the study of ancient rites, in addition to the three emperors and five emperors of Mount Tai, only Qin Shi Huang and Chu Taizu have done it, so many emperors in the Tang Dynasty, no one has done this.

After Dong Zhong entered the palace, he first saluted Li Jun, and then stepped aside, Li Jun played with a jade Ruyi in his hand and asked with a smile: "Sir, don't be too restrained, I came to Mr. today to ask about Taishan's sealing of Zen." ”

Dong Zhong's eyes lit up, if His Majesty really wanted to seal Mount Tai, then it would be the most beneficial for his Confucianism, because Confucianism can be called a contemporary expert in terms of etiquette.

Dong Zhong asked unhurriedly: "I don't know if Your Majesty is asking about the First Emperor and Chu Taizu's sealing ceremony, or about the Three Emperors and Five Emperors?" ”

Li Jun replied: "Of course, it is the period of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors. ”

Dong Zhong smiled bitterly: "The Feng Chan of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period needs Jiuding to be a sacrificial prison, and we don't have Jiuding now." ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "It's okay with this, it's going to be there soon." ”

When Dong Zhong heard this, he felt that Li Jun was bragging, but he still replied honestly: "The Fengzen sacrifice is a ceremony held by ancient emperors in Mount Tai to worship the gods and the earth. Its ritual includes two parts, "seal" and "Zen", the so-called "seal", is to put the nine tripods on the top of Mount Tai to gather soil to build a round platform to worship the emperor, increase the height of Mount Tai to show the merit to the sky; The so-called "Zen" is to accumulate soil on the small hill under Mount Tai to build a square altar to worship the god of the earth, and increase the thickness of the earth to repay the blessing and grace. The emperor must be ordered by heaven, and the country and the people are safe to be qualified to enshrine Mount Tai. The Zen of Mount Tai, which has lasted for thousands of years, is no longer a simple worship of mountains and rivers, but contains the extreme worship of the gods of Mount Tai and the cultural wonders with a grand political background......"

Li Jun thought about it, in fact, this so-called Feng Chan ceremony does not cost much money, since ancient times, the emperor held the Feng Zen ceremony is actually like God to show his own merits, in later generations the three emperors and five emperors have been, Qin Emperor Han Wu has also been, Emperor Guangwu went once, was scolded by the descendants half to death, until he met Song Gaozong's mallet, there are not many merits, but nothing to go to, that is to say, the Feng Chan ceremony was played by this mallet, before the Song Dynasty, the Feng Chan ceremony is still very sacred.

Seeing that Li Jun was deep in thought, Dong Zhong continued: "Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, as long as Your Majesty defeats the Northern Liao and Northern Jin Kingdoms, even if you don't have Jiuding, you can also go to hold the Zen Sealing Ceremony, this is a great achievement, no one will say anything, please relax Your Majesty." ”

Li Jun shook his head and said, "I heard that Chu Taizu Xiang Yu blindly held a ceremony to seal Zen because he didn't get Jiuding, and was scolded half to death. ”

What Li Jun said is an allusion, Xiang Yu was once named the Duke of Lu during the rebel army, so Xiang Yu has always taken great care of Lu Di, Xiang Yu himself is also very popular in Lu Di, but after Xiang Yu became the emperor, in order to have a bowl of water level, the care of Lu Di is not as good as before, this change after the previous one, so that Lu Ru, the actual ruler of Lu Di, can't stand it, so after Xiang Yu held the Zen ceremony, Lu Ru not only scolded Xiang Yu half to death, but also provoked Han Xin to rebel, so that Xiang Yu's face was very unbearable.

Dong Zhong is naturally clear about this public case, so after hearing Li Jun mention this past, Dong Zhong was very embarrassed, Li Jun smiled and comforted: "Mr. Dong, I don't mean anything else, don't think about it, now you can prepare for the Zen Sealing Ceremony first, you should also know my temper, just do nothing, do the best, Jiuding I will find a way to get it back." ”

"No, the minister obeys." Dong Zhong hurriedly agreed, after Dong Zhong left, he was very curious, where did Li Jun get so much confidence to get Jiuding back? The mystery of Jiuding's disappearance can be traced back to the period of the First Emperor, after the Great Qin destroyed the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, when Jiuding was transported through Weishui, Jiuding became a black dragon and entered Weishui, and since then, Jiuding has completely disappeared, after that, more than 20 emperors are looking for it, but there is no news......

Could it be that His Majesty wants to make a Jiuding by himself, if this is the case, then he will never agree to be the official of this Zen ceremony, if it is discovered, he will be stinking for 10,000 years, Dong Zhong thought about it in his heart, the more scared he became, and when he left the palace, he went straight to Fu Nian's mansion......

Fu Nian now in addition to teaching the prince, he just stayed at home to study the book, and even handed over the affairs of the school department to his two servants to deal with, so when Dong Zhong came to Fu Nian's mansion, he didn't see Fu Nian himself.

Lu Xing passed the word on his behalf: "Mr. Dong, please rest assured, Your Majesty has already told the teacher in advance about the Zen Ceremony, and the teacher asked me to tell you, rest assured and boldly prepare, and when the time is ripe, Your Majesty will find the real Jiuding, and then the teacher will recommend Mr. as the new school secretary." ”

"Thank you, Master Fu, Dong Zhong understands." After speaking, Dong Zhong bowed and retired.

After Dong Zhong left, Lu Xing returned to Fu Nian's study, at this time Fu Nian was lying on the rocking chair, holding a book in his hand and looking at it intently, there was a pot of tea on the coffee table next to him, Lu walked over and touched the temperature of the teapot, and found that it was already cold, Lu Xing sighed, and changed the tea for Fu Nian again.

Fu Nian put down the book and asked with a smile: "Okay, Dong Zhong left?" ”

Lu Xing nodded and said, "Teacher, Dong Zhong was very happy when he left. ”

"Haha, of course he will be happy, if the position of the school secretary is not recommended by the teacher, he will not be able to do it in his life." Fu Nian took a sip of tea and said leisurely.

Lu Xing asked with a face full of indignation: "Teacher, the disciple doesn't understand why you chose Dong Zhong, a hypocrite, to be the secretary of the school?" ”

"So who do you think is the right fit? Now you see, the people of the Legalists are eyeing the two departments of the Criminal Department and the Datang Court, the Mo family is naturally suitable for the position of the Ministry of Labor, and the Huang family and the Yin and Yang family will not choose the department, and the only thing that can be left to us is the Ministry of Confucianism, and now the most suitable person for the post of the Ministry of Confucianism is the teacher, but the teacher no longer has much energy to manage the affairs of the department, and if he continues to stay in this position, it will be a mistake for the country and the people. ”

"Teacher, the prince is about to leave the capital, and the teacher will be relaxed for a few years, and in these few years, the teacher can choose slowly." Lu Xing whispered.

Fu Nian sighed: "Alas, you really underestimate Your Majesty, Your Majesty still loves the prince very much, and is worried that the prince will delay his studies by going to Liangzhou, so he specially asked the teacher to accompany the prince to Liangzhou for a period of time." ”

"Ah, the teacher is going to Liangzhou? When did this happen? Lu Xing asked in surprise.

"After the beginning of spring next year, the teacher will accompany the prince, and it is estimated that His Majesty will soon issue a holy decree." Fu Nian replied unconcernedly.

"That's good, teacher, the disciple will resign now, the disciple will accompany the teacher to Liangzhou, the teacher is old, if you go to Liangzhou alone, the disciple is not at ease."

Fu Nian reprimanded angrily: "Confused, for your position in the Royal Academy of Science and Technology, the teacher did not hesitate to make a deal with that villain of Kong Ru, how could you give it up easily?" This time, just let your little junior brother Fu Yuan follow him as a teacher, and you can stay in the capital. ”

"But the junior brother is still young, and he is careless, when you get there, the disciple is afraid that he will cause you trouble." Lu Xing said worriedly.

"It doesn't matter, your little junior brother likes to practice martial arts, and he doesn't have much interest in reading, your little junior brother's temperament is more suitable for being a military general, so this time I went to Liangzhou, your little junior brother is much more useful than you, not to mention anything else, in the battlefield, your little junior brother can carry out the teacher, you can't do this point, and if you have the opportunity this time, prepare for the division to let your little junior brother join the army in Liangzhou, in case the disciple of the future teacher ** appears a big general, then the division can also be displayed everywhere." Fu Nian said with a smile.

"Teacher, this is the real teaching, disciple admires." Lu Xing arched his hand and said.

Fu Nian waved his hand and said: "Okay, this matter is decided, you take good care of your master and wife in the capital, and you are not too young, your wedding with Yu'er should also be held, hurry up and prepare, as a teacher, such a daughter, this time I still have to see that the two of you can achieve positive results before you can travel away with confidence." ”

"The students obeyed." Lu Xing said shyly.
