In the fifty-ninth year of the reign of King Zhou (256 B.C.).

The fifty-first year of King Zhaoxiang of Qin, the second year of King Yan Xiao, the sixth day of the ninth month.

Wangji Luoyi, Heavenly Palace, Mao Shi.

The sky was still dark, but the whole heavenly womb was brightly lit.

According to the calculations of the divination officials, Qin Wang Yingji chose today as the day of the Zen throne of the Son of Heaven.

In the Heavenly Palace, the guards are much tighter than in the past.

Especially in the courtyard of the dormitory where Ji Yan, the son of heaven, lives, is guarded by many soldiers of the Qin army.

Ji Yan, the son of heaven, was waited by many attendants and palace maids, and got up to bathe and change clothes first.

Then give Ji Yan, the Son of Heaven, and change into a thick crown dress of the Son of Heaven.

In this era, the crown of the Son of Heaven wears twelve crowns; The tops are painted with six chapters of the sun, moon, stars, mountains, dragons, and Chinese insects, and the bottoms are embroidered with algae, fire, pink rice, Zongyi, 黼, and 黻 six chapters.

The top and bottom are called the Twelve Chapter Dress.

Ji Yan sat there like a puppet, letting the attendants and palace maids from the Qin State wait.

He knew that this life was probably the last time he would wear the crown of the Son of Heaven.

After dressing everything, Ji Yan, the Son of Heaven, went to the Zhou Dynasty Temple first and sacrificed to the emperors of the Zhou Dynasty in the next Zhou room.

Looking at the many Zhou Dynasty Tianzi spirit cards in front of him, Ji Yan couldn't help but cry.

After worshipping the Son of Heaven of the Jongmyo Temple, it is time to go outside the city.

Ji Yan was picked up by everyone, took a public car, and walked towards the Zen platform built outside the city.

Columns of Qin troops stood in order on both sides of the streets in Luoyi City; In front of the Son of Heaven's car, a group of soldiers opened the way in front; The accompanying band played music, and the sound of music resounded all the way around the car.

Ji Yan, the Son of Heaven, when he ascended the throne as the Son of Heaven at a young age, did not have a grand scene at this time.

On both sides of the street, the people of Luoyi knelt on the ground, not daring to look up.

Although the scene was very grand, Ji Yan, the son of heaven, was on the car, with his eyes closed, unwilling to look or think.

After today, how will the world and even future generations comment on themselves, the Son of Zen?

In China, there were ceremonies to worship the heavens in the Xia and Shang dynasties.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the concept of "heaven" gradually replaced the "God" and "emperor" that the Yin people said.

The image of the Emperor of Heaven was personified, and the King of Zhou was given the title of "Son of Heaven". King Zhou ruled the people on earth as the son of the Emperor of Heaven, and he also served the Emperor of Heaven as his father. Worshipping the heavens is the ritual of serving and offering to the emperor of heaven.

The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, according to the "Zhou Rite", which is generally on the day of the winter solstice, which should be in the southern suburbs of the capital. "Zhou Li Da Si Le" cloud: "The winter solstice day worships the heavens on the earth's mound".

But today, the location of the Zen seat was chosen in the place two miles west of Luoyi City.

King Yingji of Qin, naturally, will not wait until the day of the winter solstice to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens.

According to the words of the divination officials of the Qin State, the Zen position in this place is beneficial to the Qin State.

After Ji Yan wrote the edict of the Zen throne, Qin Prime Minister Fan Ju sent many Qin army soldiers and people. Here, a tall and gorgeous platform was built to carry out the Zen ceremony.

The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, and virtue is in the Quartet.

Therefore, today's Zen throne ceremony can be watched by all the subjects of the world.

After the Son of Heaven's chariot passed, the people talked a lot.

"The Son of Heaven is traveling today, so much pomp?"

"Have you heard, today the Son of Heaven is going to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens outside the city!"

"It turned out that when I heard that the Qin army was coming, I was so scared that I was ready to run away with my whole family. I didn't expect a false alarm, it turned out that the Son of Heaven invited King Qin to come and hold a ceremony to worship the sky! ”

"Shhhh

"Oh, I heard that our people can go and watch it too."

"Really? We can also go and see. ”

"That's nature."

"Go, go. Let's go and have a good time, let's see, if we can get the reward of the Son of Heaven and the King of Qin. ”

“……”

The people only know that today is the Son of Heaven sacrificing to heaven, and naturally they don't know that this is a Zen throne ceremony for King Yingji of Qin.

Ju Wu, the eldest husband of Yan Kingdom, was dressed in civilian clothes and took a few people with him, watching all this in the crowd.

Seeing this, Ju Wu turned to a few people beside him: "Let's go!" Let's go out of town too. ”

"No."

The generals of the Qin army who escorted the carriage of the Son of Heaven Ji Yanyu rode in a horse chariot and constantly watched everything around him vigilantly.

remembered last night, Qin Xiang Fan Ju told him thousands of times: "If there is a mistake, come and see you." ”

Knowing that he was escorting the car of Ji Yan, the son of heaven, he had a great responsibility.

Today, nothing can happen. Otherwise, your life will not be saved.

Wait until the team escorting the car out of the Luoyi city gate. The generals of the Qin army who escorted the Son of Heaven's car couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Heaven forbid, nothing happened in the city just now!

When you get out of Luoyi City, you will be much safer. There were no houses on either side of the road, and on both sides of the road, there were columns of Qin soldiers in bright armor, guarding them tightly.

After leaving the city, the journey of two miles was very fast, and after a while, the car of Ji Yan, the son of heaven, arrived at the high platform of the Zen seat that had been built.

On the perimeter of the high platform, and even on the steps above the high platform.

One by one, the soldiers of the Qin army, holding Changge, stood with solemn expressions.

Under the high platform, Qin Wang Yingji and Qin Xiang Fan Ju, Xigong Ji Ji, and many civil and military officials of the Zhou Dynasty and even the Qin State.

In the distance, there are also a large number of low-ranking officials, gentry, and ordinary people, looking from afar.

The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, and this matter cannot be watched by the public, as long as they don't make trouble at this time.

Ju Wu and others are also in this group.

The Son of Heaven sacrifices to the sky, which is extraordinary. It can be said that it is also particularly important in the various sacrificial activities and ceremonies of the Zhou Dynasty.

It is necessary not only to repair the altar, but also to repair the streets from the heavenly womb to the altar, so that it has a new appearance and cannot have a dilapidated appearance. Even the road through which it passes should also be "filled with loess, and the water should be purified".

A few days before the festival, people are sent to inspect the livestock that are used for the sacrifice.

For the first three days, the Son of Heaven himself was to fast, and he was not allowed to break it.

After that, it is necessary to prepare all kinds of sacrifices and arrange the sacrificial vessels before the sacrifice to the heavens.

All kinds of preparations were all prepared at this time.

On the eve of the worship day, the official in charge of this matter arranged the divine tablets, offerings, offerings, musicians, etc., all of which were prepared.

Finally, officials also carry out a comprehensive inspection.

Secondly, the day of the sacrifice to the sky. First of all, seven minutes before sunrise, as soon as the hour comes, the Son of Heaven will set off from the temple to the altar of sacrifice.

When the bells stop and the drums play, the ceremony can officially begin.
