Chapter Seventy-Seven: Qin Shi Mingyue
Xianyang City, Taimiao
"Ten thousand years of my emperor."
I saw the car of the first emperor from a distance, and the officials of the Taimiao Temple were prostrate under the leadership of Fengchang.
"Where is the usual, go and prepare for the sacrifice." The First Emperor got out of the car and spoke.
Taimiao ancestor worship is a necessary event in Daqin every year, as the so-called major event of the country, only sacrifice and Rong also. In the eyes of the ancients, this sacrifice should be placed in front of the sword and soldiers.
Taimiao is the emperor's clan and originated in the Xia Dynasty. The Xia Dynasty called it the "World Room", and the Yin Shang Dynasty called it the "Heavy House". Zhou called it "Ming Hall", and since Qin it has called it "Taimiao".
The plan of the Taimiao Temple of Daqin is rectangular, 470 meters long from north to south, 300 meters wide from east to west, there are three layers of enclosed walls, and the three halls of the front, middle and back constitute a three-layer closed garden.
The main hall stands in the center of the entire Taimiao complex, with 11 rooms wide and 4 rooms deep, with a construction area of more than 2,000 square meters; The top of the heavy eaves palace, the triple white marble Sumeru pedestal, the stone guardrails around it; The main beams in the hall are covered with agarwood, and other building components are precious golden silk nanmu.
"Woo, woo, woo."
"Woo, ah, woo, woo."
"Bang, bang, bang."
Li Chen didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, and hung at the end of the officials.
As soon as I walked into the courtyard of this temple, I heard a seeping sound. Looking in the direction from which the voice came, I saw several witch zhus wearing hideous three-eyed masks, beating gongs and drums, dancing and singing.
"Wang Li, are all our Great Qin's sacrificial methods so wild?" Li Chen was a little puzzled by the sacrificial method of this grave jumping.
"It's all like that." Wang Li was a little puzzled.
"Great-great, long-lasting grace, blessed descendants, eternal prosperity; The ancestors and ancestors are above, and the descendants of the clan kowtow here. β
The first emperor took the children of the Ying clan and the civil and military officials to worship in front of the Taimiao.
The ancestor worship of the Great Qin royal family is really magnificent, and after the Wuzhu prayer is over, it is time to go up the sacrificial supplies such as three animals and six animals.
Under the escort of the two teams of honor guards, piles of beef and mutton meat, cereals, bronze ritual vessels and so on.
Time flies, and at the end of this ancestor worship, it is already half dark.
The number of appearances of the entire Taimiao temple to worship the first emperor is not much, and after only one worship, it is handed over to Fengchang to preside.
Taimiao, side yard
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to like this kind of occasion." Under a bare tree, the two stood side by side, and Li Chen asked.
"Aiqing, don't you like it too." The First Emperor laughed.
"The minister thinks that the mountains will fall, and everyone will run. This sacrifice is nothing more than a psychological comfort, and it should not be of great use. Li Chen said.
"Haha, Aiqing is right. How can this group of dead people know the difficulties of the living? The First Emperor said disdainfully.
Speaking of which, the life history of the First Emperor is not correct. His mother Zhao Ji was the concubine given by LΓΌ Buwei to his father Qin Zhuang Xiangwang, and in this era of valuing birth, the first emperor seemed so unsociable in the entire Ying family.
"The remnants of the sixth emperor, Zhen Chang and Yu Yu, swallowed two weeks and died the princes, performed the supreme and made the Liuhe, and the whip whipped the world, and shocked the four seas.
"Take the land of Baiyue in the south, the king of Baiyue, bow his head and tie his neck, and entrust his subordinates. The northern envoy Meng Tian built the Great Wall and guarded the fence, but the Xiongnu were more than 700 miles, and the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses. After the destruction of the Six Kingdoms, the counties were placed, the books were the same, the cars were on the same track, and the world was unified. The First Emperor's tone was flat, as if these were not great things.
Looking at the first emperor's indifferent look, Li Chen said in his heart: "This forced pretend, I will give you 82 points, and the remaining 18 points will be given to you in the form of 666." β
"Your Majesty, the more unstable it is."
"Your Majesty, Zhao Tuo can't be trusted?" Li Chen thought for a while and said. If the wheel of history is still on the right track, then the year after will be the day when Tu Suibing, the commander of the 200,000 Southern Expeditionary Army of the Qin Army, was defeated and died.
After the defeat of Tu Sui, the first emperor ordered Ren Huan to be the main general, and Zhao Tuo was the deputy general to lead 300,000 troops to the south to conquer Baiyue again.
In the history of the previous life, Ren Huan and Zhao Tuo were sent to conquer Baiyue, which was also an introduction to the fall of Great Qin. Although the 300,000 army is led by Ren Huan, almost all of the main forces are Zhao Tuo's descendants. So it is not so much that Ren Huan is the commander, it is better to say that this army is actually in the hands of Zhao Tuo.
"I know." The First Emperor replied.
"Can we be confident in the reform after the year?" The First Emperor asked.
"Yes and no." Li Chen replied.
"I will temporarily abandon Baiyue, and the 300,000 troops of the Southern Expedition will be withdrawn after the year to escort your reforms. Apart from these 300,000 troops and your new army, I have no troops left. The First Emperor said.
Daqin's stall is too big, fighting with Baiyue in the south, and Meng Tian in the north is guarding against all the tribes in the grassland.
"Your Majesty, believe me." Li Chen asked
"Who would have thought that a little beggar in Xianyang City has now become the marquis of Great Qin. I've always believed in myself all my life, and I want to do everything on my own. Nowadays, I also want to taste the feeling of relying on others. The First Emperor looked at Li Chen and said softly.
The two faced each other, and Li Chen found out. Li Chen knew that although the person in front of him was still ambitious, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes showed that he was no longer young after all.
The fatigue of years of hands-on work made the first emperor, who was in his forties, look much older than his actual age. You must know that in the era of Daqin, sixty years old is already considered an advanced age.
"I look at you like a fan, and your bottom black ice platform has been checked for a long time. But no matter how you check, you are a beggar who grew up in Xianyang. β
"But that beggar, how can he be so frightening." The First Emperor said that this was probably the only time in his life that he was so curious about a person.
"Your Majesty has heard of a dream."
"Chen, I had a dream, and this dream runs through the life of you and Daqin." Li Chen thought for a while and said.
"How is Daqin in your dreams?" The First Emperor asked eagerly.
"If the minister said that the Great Qin II died, is Your Majesty credible?" Li Chen asked.
"I've had this kind of dream, but I don't believe it." The First Emperor said.
"If Your Majesty is here, Great Qin will last forever, and if Your Majesty is dead, Great Qin will be in danger." Li Chen pondered for a while and said.
"Aiqing is too worried, I believe that people will win the sky." The First Emperor said.
When the first emperor was alive in the previous life, this world can be said to be stable and close. But since the change of this sand dune, the entire Great Qin fell apart in an instant.
In the previous life, Daqin did not have Li Chen, and since he came, he couldn't do nothing. In this life, Li Chen will inevitably help avoid the change of the sand dunes, as long as the first emperor lives for one day, this Great Qin will not be able to mess up for a day.
"Your Majesty, you see, even the moon of Great Qin is so round."
Li Chen looked at the moon in the sky and said.
"I hope I can still see that the place where the bright moon shines is a day of Qin Tu." The First Emperor said lightly.
