Chapter 966: The Sacrifice to the Heavens
On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, Daji.
The wind in late autumn is very refreshing, and this year is another year of harvest in Dachu.
Despite the successive natural disasters in recent years, many areas are mostly in severe drought. However, Dachu has continued to build water conservancy in recent years, and the canals and reservoirs are all over the place and are connected to each other, although a few areas do not have a good harvest due to natural disasters, but the vast majority of areas are still full of goods.
Facts have proved that there are indeed natural reasons for the death of the Han family, as evidenced by successive droughts and floods. However, under Yuan Shu's vigorous construction of water conservancy, it fully demonstrated what it means that man will win the day.
In recent years, the water conservancy construction of Dachu has never stopped, the water veins in various places are connected and blended with each other, a large number of canals and reservoirs have been built, and trees have been planted and vegetation protection has been strengthened. Although extreme weather has occurred repeatedly in recent years, after strengthening early warning, drought and flood disasters have not caused much impact in the face of perfect water conservancy construction. The locust plague has not had a large-scale outbreak for several years due to the large breeding of chickens and ducks and various preventive measures.
There is also a small episode in this, once a small-scale locust plague broke out in Jiangdong, although it was quickly extinguished, but Yuan Shu proposed to eat fried locusts at that time and was quickly stopped by everyone. Practice has proved that relying on foodies to solve the locust plague is completely unthinkable. Because locusts mutate once they reach a certain size, they are not only more ferocious and aggressive, but also likely to contain toxins and cannot be eaten.
The most terrible drought, water, insects, hunger, and plague among the eight plagues of this era have been well solved, and the remaining hail, wind, and earthquakes, although they cannot be solved by manpower, are not to be worried. As long as we give timely warnings and rescue and do a good job in epidemic prevention and control, there will be no big chaos.
Within a few years of Da Chu Xinli, the internal officialdom atmosphere was excellent, and the execution of officials was also very strong. Despite the continuous natural disasters in recent years, they were all controlled in time, with little damage and no big chaos, and the whole country showed a thriving situation.
Every year is safe, every year is a good year, and everything is harmonious, Yuan Shu simply chose the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky in today's Chongyang.
The bright sunlight swayed in the majestic and magnificent Chang'an City, and the red bricks and yellow tiles in the palace shone brightly under the sunlight.
From east to west, north and south, the Qinglong Gate, the White Tiger Gate, the Vermilion Bird Gate, and the Xuanwu Gate are all wide open, and countless Xuanjia elite guards are neatly guarded all over the palace.
In the south of the Jinshui Bridge in front of the Ziwei Palace, an open-air Temple of Heaven with three floors and 99 steps stands in the center of the square, and the whole body of the Temple of Heaven is made of white marble. The center of the first layer of the table is embedded with a round stone slab, named "Tianxin Stone", surrounded by nine heavy stones, and the first circle is nine fan-shaped plates, which is one heavy; The second is eighteen pieces, which is a multiple of the first circle, and then is added in turn according to the multiple of nine, until the ninth circle is eighty-one pieces, weighing nine. This is built for better sound transmission, and the special design makes it possible to stand in front of the Tianxin Stone and chant to produce a huge echo, as if a hundred responses. I have to say that the wisdom of the ancients is really amazing, and this is the original version of the megaphone.
Above the Temple of Heaven, the red carpet is paved, the incense case is furnished, countless flags are flying, blue characters on a black background, hunting and hunting.
The square under the Temple of Heaven is full of 10,000 elite arrays here, with 100 people in each direction, lined up on both sides, and in the middle is an empty passage paved on the red carpet. The soldiers were all eight feet tall and majestic. Dressed in dark heavy armor and holding a horse chopping knife, although he tried his best to restrain his murderous aura, it was still difficult to hide his edge.
The envoys of the various countries who came to congratulate them were all on the third level, and although they were at the bottom, they were not in the slightest dissatisfaction, because they were used to it. In the past, the Han family didn't treat them as human beings, so it would be nice to have a place.
The exquisite design of the Temple of Heaven and the mighty Han army in the square had completely attracted their attention, but unfortunately they did not dare to move at all under the guard of the heavily armed soldiers on both sides. The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens does not tolerate the slightest disrespect, and the great Chu Wenwu who didn't see the first two layers didn't dare to make a sound at all.
Above the second layer, civil and military officials above the third grade, including the eighteen Shangshu Shilang, all stood here, dressed in official uniforms, with solemn faces and dignified demeanors.
On the first layer, in addition to the guards and attendants, only Jia Xu and Tian Feng were on the left and right.
For a long time, when the sun rose to a certain height, Jia Xu, who had been closing his eyes and recuperating his mind, suddenly opened his eyes, swept his gaze, and the waiter on the side suddenly understood in his heart.
The dantian was breathless, and a sharp voice sounded: "The auspicious time has arrived, welcome Your Majesty." ”
"Greetings to Your Majesty!"
Ten thousand elites shouted in unison, the momentum was mighty, and the clouds above the palace dissipated.
When the envoys of the countries above the Temple of Heaven saw this scene, their expressions were different. Most of them were shocked with admiration on their faces, and even worse, they almost couldn't stand on their feet.
The heavenly gate opposite the Temple of Heaven slowly opened, and Yuan Shu, who was dressed in a crown robe, slowly walked out. The white robe represents the autumn slaughter, and the robe is embroidered with the pattern of the dragon soaring in the sea. The black nine-clawed divine dragon stepped on the pale blue waves, ready to fly, like Yuan Shu, not angry.
Gently glancing at everyone, Yuan Shu stepped on the red carpet and slowly walked towards the Temple of Heaven. The sleeves of his clothes fluttered high in the wind, the black jade-like pupils flashed with a warm brilliance, his handsome face faced the scorching sun, with god-like majesty and innate nobility, and the kingly aura exuded by Yuan Shu's body made people unconsciously want to surrender.
Along with Yuan Shu's footsteps, every time he took a step, there was a row of soldiers kneeling down on one knee in unison. With the soldiers on both sides kneeling on the ground in rows, Yuan Shu's whole person really seemed to be a dragon stepping on the waves, and his majesty became more and more terrifying.
"The Human Emperor!"
The hearts of everyone present unconsciously rose up with this title.
The power of Yuan Shu's body is no different, even if the first emperor is reborn.
The envoys of the countries on the rooftop were all impressed, and they did not dare to have any strange thoughts in their hearts.
"The majesty of this Great Chu is much more terrifying than the former Han Tianzi."
Yuan Shu, who was walking in a tiger's step, soon came to the rooftop, and at this time, all the soldiers in the square had already bowed down.
Stepping on the first step with Yuan Shu's footsteps, the envoys of the various countries on the first floor only felt the monstrous power rushing towards them, and their knees unconsciously weakened, as if they had been rehearsed, and they all knelt on the ground.
Jia Xu on the stage couldn't help but widen his eyes and was shocked in his heart.
How far has Your Majesty's sovereign talent been developed, terrifying!
Ignoring these envoys at all, in Yuan Shu's heart, they are basically no different from ants, except for the envoys who are resting, Guishan and poisonous, they are also worth paying attention to, and the rest are all puppet decorations.
Slowly stepping on the steps, step by step to the second floor, Da Chu Wenwu hugged his fists and bowed in unison, making a bow. Yuan Shu does not pay attention to form and does not like to bow down.
Stepping on the third platform, Jia Xu and Tian Feng, who were on the left and right, greeted each other. Yuan Shu slowly walked to the altar, turned around, and glanced at the people below who were bowing their heads in unison.
"Flat."
