Yan Shu's explanation made Cai Boyu pout: "Of course you Wenchen have to be like this, respect the anger of the sky, and dare not joke." Respect the sky, no dare to gallop. Haotian said that it was clear, and he was the king. Haotian said, and Eryouyan! But what's the matter with pulling me up? The official family is fighting in Yanyun, and the logistics are in urgent need of supplies, and I still have a lot of things to do! ”

Yan Shu glanced at him and said, "Do you not know or do you not know when the nobles in the palace don't know?" All the supplies have already departed, and you are just escorting and dispatching, and the fast horses of your Horse Mansion can not catch up with the baggage? Stand honestly, the festival begins! ”

Sure enough, with Yan Shu's words, the bells and drums rang out in unison, which was to report the arrival of the Emperor of Heaven to enjoy the sacrifice.

The young prince, with the help of Sancai, led the sacrifice dedicated to the Emperor of Heaven, took out a short knife and slaughtered it without hesitation.

The blood slowly dripped down the short knife and fell to the ground, making the bodies of many courtiers present tremble slightly, they didn't expect the young prince to be so decisive, such a big child let alone slaughtering livestock, even in the face of kittens and dogs.

The envoys of the Liao Dynasty and the envoys of the Western Xia who came to watch the ceremony twitched their faces, and such a big cow died at the hands of the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, and his face was as usual...... It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who is known as a benevolent name, is not a good match......

At this time, only the people of the Great Song Dynasty became excited, shouting the courage of the prince, such a young child can have such decisiveness and perseverance is indeed different, it is worthy of being cultivated by the heavenly family, and it is really good at the top!

Who is the Prince? The future emperor, everyone hopes that he can be as merciful internally as today's officials, and decisive externally, only in this way can the people and territory of the Great Song Dynasty be protected.

The cattle, sheep, and pigs were all ready, and the three talents shouted loudly: "The prison is ready, and the prince is burning the flames!" ”

These sacrifices were placed on the firewood stack along with the sacrifices such as jade, jade, and silk, and Zhao Xu lit the firewood, so that the fireworks rose high in the sky, so that the emperor could smell the smell. This is burnt, also called ritual.

The ritual of worshipping the heavens is complicated and lengthy, and there are people who play the role of "corpses", and the so-called corpses are decorated by living people, as the incarnation of the Emperor of Heaven, and accept the sacrifice on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven.

There were as many as four ceremonies for the sake offering alone, but the young prince persevered, and everyone in the sacrifice was carried out with the imperial heir and the nobles of the palace, and various ingredients and sake were offered.

Finally, the sound of music and dance in the era of the Yellow Emperor sounded again, and under the leadership of the crown prince, everyone and the dance team began to dance the dance of "Cloud Gate".

This is the ancient sacrificial ritual of the Han people, but some of the details are very similar to the sacrificial methods of the Liao Dynasty and even the Western Xia, and the basis of various cultures is homologous, even the foreign races are more or less unconsciously integrated into the elements of China.

After all the sacrifices were completed, it was discovered that the auspicious spectacle had disappeared, the dark clouds over the city of Tokyo had been blown away, and the precious winter sun once again shone the earth, gilding the entire city with a layer of bright color.

Under the sun, the mood of the people was very good, as if even the cold of winter could be dispelled, and the young prince personally performed the knife and gave the sacrificial meat to the courtiers and the people, which was called a gift.

Of course, the happiest people are ordinary people, and this time they can actually get the gift of worshipping the heavens, if it is placed in the original, it is something that I can't even think of!

This gift is actually Wang Yuyan's attention, she deeply understands Zhao Zhen's words: "The royal family's primary task is to gather the hearts of the people under their own banner, as long as there are two things, the people's will and military power, the heavenly family of the Great Song Dynasty is foolproof!" ”

For this reason, Wang Yuyan tried her best to win the hearts of the people when Zhao Zhen drove the expedition, and the most she did was to help the people do more good deeds.

The husband and wife are one, the official family is kind and generous, sympathetic to the people, the queen is loving, and the good reputation of helping orphans and children has naturally been saved.

Of course, this sacrifice to heaven is not over here, it is not enough to show the benevolence of the heavenly family to the people, but also to show the benevolence of the heavenly family to the heavens, for which the prince also has to go to the gate tower of the imperial city, hold an amnesty ceremony, and pardon the prisoners!

Kaifeng Mansion has already prepared a list, these prisoners are petty thieves, and so on, Sheng Shi naturally wants the law to be more lenient, such petty theft can still be reformed, how to reform?

It's much simpler, working during the day and attending classes at night in the Mongolian Academy, mainly teaching the Four Books and the Five Classics...... Limited to March, there will be its own examiners to judge the papers......

If you don't qualify, I'm sorry that you have to continue to eat the prison food in Kaifeng Mansion!

This is the method that the second prince Zhao Yun came up with, it seems to be a child's joke, but it was adopted by Fan Zhongyan, the governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, and the effect is remarkable, and the shock of the result is jaw-dropping.

Petty thieves have not received much education since childhood, and under the invasion of Confucianism, they soon began to "destroy all three views", and in the face of schoolwork, it is like going to the execution ground, but they don't want to continue to go back to prison, so they can only grit their teeth to support, and as a result, the prisoners who passed the exam all dare not commit it again.

The people who gave amnesty this time are these prisoners who are struggling in the sea of learning...... As for the robbers who kill people and exfiltrate goods, they are not included in the amnesty list.

What is the right of a person who has committed the most heinous crimes to be pardoned? To pardon these people is to be irresponsible to the people! It is a blasphemy against the laws of the Great Song Dynasty!

Even the heavenly family of Kuanren would not do such a stupid thing, and such a thing as amnesty for the world is basically impossible in today's Great Song Dynasty, especially after the revision of the "Imperial Song Constitution" under the auspices of Zhao Zhen.

Respect for the Heavenly Ancestor, after the amnesty ceremony, the entire ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is over, and the crowd once again surrounds the emperor and drives back to the imperial city, this seemingly useless ceremony is over, but his impact on the Great Song Dynasty is far-reaching.

Through this worship of the heavens, the Song Dynasty once again established its supremacy, and the people of Tokyo City will naturally spread the auspicious scenery and the matter of worshipping the heavens to every corner of the Great Song Dynasty, even the countries far away in the South China Sea will not be left behind.

At the same time, this activity of worshiping the sky made the cohesion of the Great Song Dynasty rise, and played an important role in uniting the whole country.

Why Wang Yuyan is so keen on this sacrifice to the heavens is not to relieve Zhao Zhen's pressure, and the officials who consumed Tokyo City for this Northern Expedition have already complained a lot. She wants to try her best to prove that the official is right and that it is God's will.

brought Cai Boyu here, mainly to let him promote it all the way to Xijin Mansion...... She is the queen of the mother of a country, and there is only so much she can do for Zhao Zhen.
