Chapter 423: See the Daomen again
It is rare for Zhao Zhen to leave Tokyo City to inspect the Great Song Dynasty, if it weren't for Li De's ** incident this time, the courtiers would definitely not agree to Zhao Zhen's trip, after all, the emperor's tour cost a lot of money, and the people and money.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhen didn't understand that he was just going to Weizhen County, which is not far from Yingtianfu, and he was lucky along the way, how could he spend a lot?
But now he was embarrassed to speak, the team in front of him was too amazing......
His own carriage alone is full of six horses, and the four-wheeled carriage is as wide as a small palace carriage, even if Zhao Zhen's proposal to reduce expenses is useless, the officials of the Ministry of Rites can use 10,000 reasons to block Zhao Zhen's words, and Zhao Zhen can't refute it, because people are real authorities in etiquette......
The number of pro-guard forbidden troops who followed was even larger, and Zhao Zhen repeatedly shrunk, changing from a big driver to a small driver, but no matter how the number of people decreased, there were three thousand people, and the utensils used were even more numerous.
At the beginning, Zhao Zhen didn't pay attention, but when he was bored, he was jumped off.
Grate head four, painting horn twelve, drum twenty-four, big copper horn eight, small copper horn eight, gold four, gold cymbal four, staff drum four, dragon head flute twelve, clapper four, these are just sundries, the flag is more, the quiet flag two, the golden drum flag two, the white flag two, the door flag eight, the sun and the moon flag each one, the cloud, rain, wind and thunder flag each one, the five-star flag each one, the twenty-eight su flag each one, the Beidou flag one, the five Yue flag each one, the four blasphemy flags each one, the green dragon, the white tiger, the red bird, the Shenwu flag each one.
Then there were all sorts of flags and even weapons......
Fang Tian halberd four, leopard tail spear twenty, bow and arrow twenty each, ritual knife twenty, war horse ten; Honor guards are also indispensable, such as my battle, standing melon, lying melon, Jin Yue, royal guard, and star six.
Zhao Zhen didn't think that these things could be used in actual combat, but they were still carried by the forbidden army and regarded as treasures.
The colorful umbrella cover on the side is dizzying, with four purple and four red covers; Red Luo Luan Feng Fang Fan Eight, Red Single Dragon Fan Eight, Red Double Dragon Fan Eight, Yellow Single Dragon Fan Eight, Yellow Double Dragon Fan Twelve;
The hands of the chamberlain were not idle, carrying dust, red stirrups, golden stoves, golden incense boxes, golden basins, golden water bowls, golden bottles, small bottles, horses, golden chairs, and golden feet, as if they could not live without these gold objects.
Zhao Zhen lamented the extravagance of the emperor, which is probably why the ministers of the Song Dynasty would oppose the emperor's patrol, right? It's really too extravagant, Zhao Zhen is dazzled by the gold and silver utensils, not to mention the people who are watching, but what does it mean that the spittoon toilet and the like are also shown to the people?
Zhao Zhen slowly advanced on the main road of Weizhen County, and when he turned around, he found that the queue behind him was lengthy, and it turned out that he not only had this carriage, but also various means of transportation......
There are five ceremonial images, all of which are one of the brocade negative treasure bottles, the bottle is copper-pasted with gold, and the wood carving is pasted with gold, the lotus seat is covered with back, and the carved crocus is carved; One ride of the jade chariot, one ride of the big chariot, one ride of the big chariot, one ride of the small pony chariot, one ride of the incense chariot, one ride of the cool chariot, one ride of the big gift car.
Even the scholars and merchants in the court disdain, of course Zhao Zhen can't ride as an emperor, and what worries Zhao Zhen even more is that if something is good, it will be effective!
The officials who followed explained that these were all necessary means of transportation for the emperor to go out on patrol, but Zhao Zhen didn't plan to use them, and the ugly thing about Bu Bao was that there was no sedan chair with four walls, carried by people, and Zhao Zhen hated this kind of behavior of taking people as animals.
This kind of thing has been there for a long time, but except for Tang Taizong, who once sat on it once and gave up using it, no one did it anymore, at least no one did it before the Great Song Dynasty, after all, even the unrighteous king did not dare to replace animals with humans.
When it came to the Great Song Dynasty, no one used it, and Zhao Zhen's honor guard was just a guard of honor, but it must not be missing, this is the etiquette.
The huge procession stopped in front of the Taiqing Palace, and the honor guard quickly took their places, and for a time the Taiqing Palace with its peak of incense became a majestic and solemn palace, and the people of Weizhen County saw the emperor's respect for Lao Tzu.
Zhao Zhen is not interested in religion, but he has great respect for sages like Lao Tzu, and it can be said that the kings of all dynasties have great respect for him.
When Xuanzong Li Longji, the scale of Taiqing Palace reached its peak, covering an area of eight hectares and seventy-two acres, around forty miles, the buildings in the palace were arranged in an orderly manner, Qionglou Yuyu, golden and brilliant. The Taiqing Palace is called the front palace, and the Dongxiao Palace is called the harem. The front palace worships Lao Tzu, and the harem worships Mother Li. The two palaces are separated by a river, and there is a bridge on the river. The name of the river is "Jinshui", and the bridge is called "Huixian".
But the prosperity and decline, the decline and prosperity, the end of the Tang Dynasty Huangchao uprising, the Taiqing Palace was destroyed in the military, and the father who claimed to be the Emperor of Daojun was to allocate the treasury silver to rebuild the Taiqing Palace, the second palace of Dongxiao, the scale was more than the Tang Dynasty, and there were "the monument of the Great Song Dynasty to rebuild the Taiqing Palace", "the praise tablet of the congenital queen mother", "the record of the bridge of Huizhen" and other inscriptions to commemorate.
Zhao Zhen does not object to this kind of behavior, but he is quite unhappy with the fact that his father made Lao Tzu the emperor. This is inconsistent with the etiquette, and it makes many people leave poems here that respect the old and worship the Tao and sing the scenery of things, even the famous ministers of the court, Fan Zhongyan, Ouyang Xiu, Su Xun and others are also impressively listed.
The temple Zhu came to worship Zhao Zhen, and asked Zhao Zhen to give incense to Lao Tzu to worship, Zhao Zhen smiled helplessly: "There is something good on the top, and it will be very bad on the bottom." ”
Just when Miaozhu's face changed and began to be sad, Zhao Zhen took the incense stick and bowed to Lao Tzu's tablet and statue, there was no way who let this be recognized by his father? As a son, you can't openly object to slapping your father's face, right?
And Zhao Zhen wants Taoism as the state religion, that must leave the world with respect for the old and the Taoist side, which is also another purpose of Zhao Zhen's trip, Buddhism in the Great Song Dynasty is almost over, people's lives are good, naturally there are fewer people to go to the Bodhisattva to pour bitter water and pray for the wealth of the next life all day long.
And the Taoist self-cultivation and health preservation make everyone flock to it, but the scam and the illegal accumulation of wealth make Zhao Zhen feel that he should talk to Xuan Xuanzi, this old man is the head of Taoism, he gave face to Taoism, and the rest should be prescribed, since Daomen has been included in the jurisdiction of the imperial court, then the rules set by the emperor must be abided.
After Zhao Zhen worshiped Lao Tzu, he entered the apse of Taiqing Palace, Xuan Xuanzi was already waiting here, Sancai left with the inner servant with great eyes, he knew that the official family must have something to say to Xuan Xuanzi alone.
A small table, two futons, a pot of tea, two Pringles, the emperor and the master sat on the futon to discuss the plan for the Daomen.
Zhao Zhen tasted it and was moved by the sweetness of the tea, and said to Xuan Xuanzi with a smile: "The tea is good, it is very in line with my taste." ”
Xuan Xuanzi's eyes lit up and said, "Your Majesty thinks this tea is very good?" This is the tea planted by my Dao disciples in the blessed land of the Cave Heaven, and the aura of the colored heaven and earth absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon......"
"Talking ...... people"
