Chapter 507: The Storm is Coming

"I ...... I just can't crawl anymore. ”

Although Mount Tai is not high, but to ask a fat man of more than 200 pounds to climb from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, it is tantamount to a kind of torture.

Heifu was in front, turned his head and pointed at him and scolded with a smile: "All the people who entourage can climb Mount Tai with Your Majesty and witness the gift of the Son of Heaven to seal Zen, they are all honored, but you Zhang Zijun heard that he was also in the list, and his face was sour. ”

Zhang Cang rolled his eyes: "I think Your Majesty thinks that I always like to say in his ear, 'Heaven is constant, not for Yao, not for death', deliberately want me to come up and suffer, I knew this, I also got involved in the dispute with the Confucians, and asked His Majesty to punish me to wait at the foot of the mountain, and read it carefully with a paper book on the couch." ”

Today is August 15, the day of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen, the ceremony is carried out in two steps, the first is "sealed", which refers to the construction of soil on Mount Tai as an altar to sacrifice to the heavens, to repay the merits of the heavens, to be held on the top of Mount Tai.

Qin Shi Huang was planning to seal Zen as early as a year ago, so he asked Jibei and Xue Jun to build roads in the south and north of the mountain, and transformed the past trail into two roads that can accommodate sitting on the Yang slope and the south slope.

One of the side effects of this great project was that the tigers around Mount Tai fled in fright, were hunted by the government, and even captured an albinistic tiger, which was joyfully presented to the emperor as auspicious.

Since the time of Confucius, the wild people who have been hiding in the mountains and forests of Mount Tai all the year round, escaping from the "harsh government and fierce tigers", can only take the risk and drill deeper into the hills.

Of course, Xue County and Jibei County would not let the poor wild people who suddenly ran out disturb the emperor's Zen sealing ceremony, and searched the mountains many times, striving to leave no trace of the wilderness.

Early in the morning, Qin Shi Huang left a group of Confucian scholars and took important ministers to climb the mountain from Yangpo. He himself is sitting on the chariot, and more than ten Lang Wei take turns to carry it in the forefront, just like going to the scenic spot to take the cable car in the later life, and you can also see the surrounding scenery. But the courtiers suffered, whether they were old or young, fat or thin, they all had to rely on two legs.

Everyone took a carriage and walked four or five miles away, climbed over the cliff like the threshold "Tianmen Xishui", and arrived at Zhongling, and then, the road became a stone step made of stone slabs, with a total of more than 7,000 steps, reaching the peak - this is the largest project in Xue County in the past few years, although it was criticized by the Yin and Yang Fangshi for destroying the feng shui, but it made it much easier for the emperor to climb the mountain.

At this time, it is noon, the autumn sun shines on Mount Tai, the fog on the top of the mountain has dissipated, and the slippery stone steps have dried up a lot, it is a good time to climb to the top.

Heifu pointed to Zhang Cang and said: "The two prime ministers, Li and Wang, Ye Tingwei, are both over sixty years old, but they still follow His Majesty with a cane, not to mention that you and I are in the prime of life?" Hurry up, do you want me to carry you? ”

"Come on." Zhang Cang seemed to be glued to the stone slab, and just stretched out his hand shamelessly: "As long as you move your back!" ”

"You fat ......"

The emperor's chariot was already far ahead, and Heifu waved his hand and asked the two Lang guards to pick up Zhang Cang and forcibly carry him up.

As a result, when they stopped and stopped to reach the peak, Zhang Cang recovered, but the two Lang Wei were tired like dogs.

Heifu couldn't help laughing at him and said: "Huh, negative Zhang Cang climbs the mountain, compares the armor of the three genera, exercises the crossbow of two stones, bears fifty arrows, puts it on it, crowns and swords, wins three days of food, and is tired in the middle of the day and tends to a hundred miles." ”

At this moment, it is already in the afternoon, because it is only autumn, I can't see the snow in Cangshan Mountain, the scenery of the south of the candle sky, only the mountains are more rocky, and there is less soil; Stone pale black, multi-square, less circle (yuΓ‘n). Less miscellaneous trees, more pines, pine trees struggle to survive in the cracks of the stones.

There is no magnificent waterfall, and there are few birds and beasts. In short, it's just an ordinary landscape.

When Heifu looked back again, he found that the scenery under the mountain seemed to be better, the evening sun shone on the palace, Wenshui and cΓΊlΓ‘i were picturesque, and the halfway up the mountain that he had just passed was foggy at the moment, like a dancing streamer.

Ahead, Qin Shi Huang, who was wearing the crown of Xuanduan, had already sat down, and was also looking at the scenery up and down Mount Tai with his hands in his hands, his face was serious, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

This was followed by a hurried but orderly ceremony, according to the process that had been rehearsed several times, Qin Shi Huang and his ministers were wearing solemn dresses, and Heifu and others wore leather bands on their heads, inserted wat and drooped gentry, helped the emperor to perform the ritual of shooting oxen, and dedicated three prisons.

Then, there was the more cumbersome ceremony of sealing the land, because the bad ideas of the Confucian scholars were all rejected, so the ritual procedure was the same as that of worshipping the emperor in the suburbs of Xianyang. Qin Shi Huang took the ceremonial official and offered a wooden shovel and did it himself, while the ministers helped by the side.

Everyone worked very hard, especially the old crop style of Heifu, which was praised by the emperor.

They look like leaders who personally go up the mountain to plant trees on Arbor Day, but their wide dresses are really not good for work.

Finally, the sealed soil is one foot two feet wide and nine feet high. Qin Shi Huang also buried the jade book written by himself into it, and the contents of the book were kept secret, because it was a private conversation between Qin Shi Huang and God.

The ministers were all solemn, followed behind the emperor, and under the shouts of the ceremonial officials, they bowed down to the fiefdom again and again, and it was completed in the sky.

But for a moment, Heifu was curious.

"What is written in this jade book buried under the sealed soil? Is it a one-glance edict, or is it the words of some emperors? ”

Just as he suppressed his curiosity and wanted to witness the second work, "Standing Stone Inscription", the five doctors next to him, Qin Gongsun Ying (Ziying), who was slightly younger than Heifu, raised his head and sighed.

"Less Shangzao, look, why is the sky cloudy?"

Heifu immediately raised his head, only to find that there were still white clouds, and a large gloomy cloud had drifted from the east in vain in the sunny sky......

……

"Look, look at the top of Mount Tai!"

When the ceremony of sealing the Zen on the mountain was being held, although the Confucian scholars under the mountain shouted that the emperor was stubborn and self-serving, they also kept an eye on every move above.

At this moment, seeing the sudden changes in the sky, many Confucian scholars who were resentful because Qin Shi Huang did not use them shouted loudly.

"Counting the time, I have just finished the gift of sealing the soil." The Confucian of the Lezheng clan lowered his head and pinched his fingers.

"What does it mean to be in the sky and only to be clouded?" At this time, the Confucianism of the Qidiao clan suddenly became humble and eager to learn, and asked questions from left to right.

"I think the next thing is that the shower is coming, and Your Majesty and the ministers are probably going to rain." Zi Zhang's Confucianism gloated.

"Remember the words of Confucius? Mount Tai is not as good as the forest? Wouldn't Mount Tai be as good as the forest? "Someone remembered what they were talking about yesterday.

"That's right, Mount Tai has a spirit, the sky has a feeling, and he will never accept indecent rituals, nor will he accept ...... The seal of the king of virtue and thinness. ”

In the second half of the sentence, no one dares to say it out loud.

But everyone's eyes are staring at the dark clouds on the top of Mount Tai, cheering for it in the depths of their hearts, hoping that it will accumulate more and more, and then the next unprecedented rainstorm will destroy the Zen sealing ceremony on the mountain, so that the stubborn and invincible Qin Shi Huang will also be drenched in soup!

"Let him know that the sky is clear and cannot be deceived!"

……

Gray clouds obscured the sun, and huge projections swallowed up the light from the top of the mountain.

swallowed together, as well as Qin Shi Huang's good mood......

His tall body stood on the top of Mount Tai, looking up at the clouds, and his hair was stretched in the wind.

Qin Shi Huang remembers that he wrote this in the jade book buried in the sealed soil:

"God bless the people, be the king, be the teacher, but he will restrain God and favor the Quartet."

"Yu Xiaozizheng, Qin Shi Huangdi, is not only peaceful in the world, but also unremitting in governance. The country of the Huns has been slaughtered, the fortress of Qiang, the city of Qiongdu, the wall of the west of the river, close to the battle of the moon and the moon, far from the labor of the two times, the solid has been ploughed its court, swept its lu, the county and placed it, the clouds swept through, so that the descendants have no more disasters. ”

"Now that the external troubles have been eliminated, the boy wants to repair the internal affairs, sleep at night, and build long-term profits. Practicing Zen, one day, so that people's hearts return to Qin, six contract winds, Kyushu coherence, looking at the ...... of the heavens"

The dialogue between the Son of Heaven and Heaven is like a son holding a report card and reporting to his father. At the end of the day, the emperor wanted to show his masterpiece to the heavens:

"Look, who can beat me through the ages? Have you ever had such a good son? ”

But who expected, it was such a result, the weather was fine, but in an instant, it was cloudy, and the wind and rain were coming.

In the dark, it seems that there is really a supreme being, manipulating the changes of the situation, teasing Qin Shi Huang, and disdainful of his edict.

Yin Shang regarded the sky as his father, the Zhou people also feared the sky, and Qin inherited Yin Zhou's beliefs at the same time. In the past few years, whether it is Confucianism, Fang Shi or Wu Zhu, they have repeatedly said to the emperor: "The sky is bright and cannot be bullied, and the wind and rain change from time to time, but the emperor condemns the mistakes of the king, and is still strict with the father's clear commandment." ”

Ordinary sons, when their father puts on a stinky face, will tremble, be overwhelmed, and even kneel down to admit their mistakes.

The son was wrong, the son changed, and the son didn't dare anymore!

But Qin Shi Huang was different.

The flames of anger burned in the eyes of this mortal emperor who was bent on immortality!

At this moment, Qin Shi Huang even wanted to ignore it, let Tai'a Baojian unsheath, and then hold the sword and point upward, directly questioning the vast and boundless sky!

"God, what are your grievances about what I've done!?"
