At this time, the ancestors of the Manchu Dynasty and the regent of the Manchu Emperor's father and other clan nobles also took the lead in coming to the main gate of the Taimiao, and began to walk down into the main gate of the Taimiao, and the rest of the civil and military officials and tributary envoys hurriedly came, and everyone was arranged in order of rank after entering the Taimiao, and the first standing was the Manchu prince, the county king, Baylor, and the Beizi, and the civil and military officials below the first and second grades, and the last to stand was the tributary envoys, and the Manchu Emperor's father regent and the Manchu Shizu, The three of the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Dynasty Xiaozhuang slowly walked up the steps with the support of the eunuchs.

The palace maids and eunuchs on both sides stood with four umbrellas and honor guards, and after taking the stage, the Manchu emperor and the regent asked the eunuchs next to him, "Jurchen language: are the sacrifices ready?" The eunuchs replied in a low voice, "Jurchen language: Back to the words of the emperor's father, His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, everything is ready." ”

The smiling Manchu emperor regent turned to face the audience and waved, and the Eight Banners standing around began to blow the horn (woo, woo, woo), when the sound sounded, they saw the Manchu shamans dancing a mysterious dance, holding a rattle in their hands, chanting a mantra in their mouths, and dancing in the audience, the Manchu emperor regent asked the eunuchs to bring two wine lords to fill with wine, one to him, one to the little emperor, and the Manchu Xiaozhuang Empress Dowager was holding a jade pendant and praying to the sky on the side.

The regent of the Manchu emperor's father took the hand of the little emperor and sprinkled half of the wine on the ground and left half of it, and his own wine was all sprinkled, (this is to make the little emperor disrespectful to heaven and earth) and then began to kneel down to worship and burn incense three heads, and the kings of the audience, the civil and military officials, and the tributary envoys also knelt down together and followed the heads, and after kneeling, it was time to sacrifice the text.

I saw the eunuch walking up with the sacrificial text, but I didn't know whose hand it was sent to? I had to kneel down beside the Manchu emperor's father, the regent and the little emperor, bowing my head and holding up the sacrificial text.

This made the little emperor want to reach out and take it when he saw it, but he was taken by the regent of the Manchu emperor's father and said, "Jurchen language: such a trivial matter should be read by Lone!" Don't bother the emperor. ”

The regent of the Manchu emperor, who received the memorial text, opened his mouth and read: "Jurchen language: On the fifth day of the first month of the first year of Shunzhi in the Great Qing Dynasty, the emperor went to heaven and descended to the earth. The spirit of the land descends the nectar wind and rain, each has its own things, each has its own ancient and modern, Wei Mao I worship the thin soil of the emperor, the god of the heavens is prosperous and rainy, and the people who are all kinds of things are not rich, both peace and Ning worship the spirit of the earth, and the bright light is applied to the four directions and beside Mumu. The audience listened to this fluent reading and were all discussing, among which the envoy of the Li family, the Yiju county guard, thought that the regent of the Manchu emperor was acting on behalf of the Son of Heaven! If this angers the little emperor and causes the two to fight, then this is exactly what they want to see.

After the sacrificial text was burned, the regent of the Manchu emperor continued to carry the little emperor and the Manchu Xiaozhuang empress dowager to the east and west halls to worship the ancestors, and let the eunuchs carry thirteen loads of loaded soil up, ready to perform (soil dressing ceremony); The Manchu emperor wore shoes and walked on the top of the temple to add soil, for the ancestors who died in the underground palace to pay a little filial piety, because the temple is also buried in the Manchu emperor's father regent's most hated person Emperor Manchu Taizong Chongdewen Emperor: Aixin Jueluo Huang Taiji, the remains of the spiritual seat and the discharge.

Therefore, the regent of the Manchu emperor was not very willing to add soil for him personally, he only wanted to add a handful of new soil to his father (Emperor Gao of the Later Jin Heavenly Mandate Khan Qing Dynasty: Aixin Jueluo Nurhachi), so he pretended to say to the little emperor this time, "Jurchen language: Since the emperor is a soil ceremony, then the emperor should take the lead to climb the top of the throne first, and Lone is also willing to accompany the emperor to go together?" ”

As soon as the little emperor heard that his imperial father, the regent, was also going to add soil, he replied, "Jurchen language: Okay! Since King Amma wants to go with me, go ahead! ”

This was instantly difficult for the Manchu Emperor's father, the regent, and he thought about it carefully, although the 6-year-old little emperor in front of him was particularly humble to himself, but he didn't dare to do too much in front of the civil and military officials and tributary envoys, so he took the little emperor's hand and walked up to add soil, and the rest of the clan nobles, kings, and Baylor knelt down to worship when they saw this....

On the 6th day of the first month, Wu Junzhen and several magistrates rushed to the outside of the Ningshan Acropolis, the sun shone at the gate of the city, and the Ming Ning Shanwei Zhenfu who was responsible for receiving the various sacrificial officials here: Yu Ningtao, with a team of Ming soldiers in the evacuation of people coming and going outside the city gate to keep it unimpeded, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin, who came here, pointed to the sign hanging on the city gate and said, "Look, we have arrived at Ningshanwei!" ”

The three magistrates were very happy, and hurriedly got out of the sedan chair and looked at the pennant erected on the city tower and the soldiers standing guard, and said, "It's still like last year, there are more people who come to worship, let's go into the city!" After speaking, everyone began to line up and walk over, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin also dismounted and walked, and entered the city under the leadership of Mingning Shanwei Zhenfu, and then came directly to the outside of the Qixu Temple in the military camp in the city, only to see many firecrackers and fireworks hanging high in the distance, and an official wearing a square heart collar (sacrificial clothes) stood next to the temporary shed to command everyone.

When Wu Junzhen followed the magistrates forward, the magistrate of Mingfu Mountain asked, "Dare to ask who this brother is?" Mingning Shanwei Zhenfu next to him introduced: "This is the commander of the guard!" ”

Knowing that it was the commander of the guard who presided over the flag sacrifice, the three magistrates saluted with Wu Junzhen and others and stood aside and took their places, waiting for the arrival of the rest of the magistrates, until the trumpeter in the military camp blew the horn and the flag sacrifice ceremony officially began.

Su Zhikui, the commander of the Mingning Mountain Guard wearing sacrificial clothes, ordered the soldiers to light firecrackers and fireworks (boom!). The scene of exploding and shooting into the air was very spectacular, and Wu Junzhen and the officials were very excited, Wu Junzhen couldn't help but say, "My Ming Empire is really a state of etiquette?" Small sacrifices can be so solemn and gorgeous. ”

After a cup of tea, the fireworks and firecrackers were over, and then it was time to prepare to raise the (Vermilion Bird Flag), and the commander of the Mingning Mountain Guard standing in the shed ordered the General Flag of the Mingning Mountain Guard: Luo Zhenlin, go down and let the soldiers carry the Vermilion Bird Flag, and everyone in the audience watched quietly.

Standing on the left side of the platform, Mingning Shanwei Zhenfu waved his hand to let ten firecrackers step forward, quickly loaded the gunpowder staff to press the fire back and forth, and soon a 2-inch Suzaku flag was carried out by the soldiers, and the Mingning Shanwei General Banner was responsible for hanging the flag on the high pole prepared in advance and pulling it up with a rope. ”

In an instant (bang, bang, bang~) ten firecrackers shot into the sky at the same time, and the Vermilion Bird Flag slowly rose to the top of the high pole under the smoke of gunpowder, and the people in the audience began to kneel and salute, Wu Junzhen and Liu Ruilin also bowed three times, and even the commanders and soldiers of the Mingning Mountain Guard on the stage also knelt down to bow to the Vermilion Bird Flag.

Then the governor of Mingning Shanwei: Tang Likun, led the soldiers to pull a bronze statue (of the Emperor Zhenwu) to suppress demons and exorcise evil spirits to show that the wind and rain were smooth, Wu Junzhen looked at the soldiers pulling this bronze statue with a cart, and asked the people around him, "Hey!" Let's see what's going on? ”

The magistrate of Mingyi City next to him replied: "You don't know about this, right?" This is a greeting to the gods, and it is necessary to welcome the flag head general, the six generals, the five flag gods, the god of the warship, the god of the golden drum and horn, the god of the bow, the crossbow, the god of flying spears and stones, the gods before and after the battle, the gods, and the gods of Wuchang, etc., all of which are to protect the gods of the water and soil on the side of the guard. ”

Listening to this complicated ceremony of the sacrifice of the Ming Guard, Wu Junzhen was simply an eye-opener, and Liu Ruilin was also full of praise and said, "Our Ming Dynasty is about rules, and rules and regulations are systems." In this way, everyone worked hard for a whole day to participate in the flag ceremony.

The next day, on the other side of the Ming Emperor's capital, the Temple of Heaven in the West Tianmen Zhai Palace, Ming Yizong was fasting and bathing, and wearing plain clothes to worship the Buddha and pray for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Si Rite Supervisor on the side replied, "If you go back to the Long Live Lord, everything is ready, just wait for the Long Live Lord to move to the Temple of Heaven and the mound to worship!" ”

After hearing this, Ming Yizong hurriedly opened his eyes and picked up the vegetarian imperial meal in front of him and ate some snacks, and asked the eunuch of the Ming Division to help him change his clothes and put on the crown of the Son of Heaven, and the twelve chapters were wearing the crown of the Son of Heaven.

First of all, the Ming Taichang Temple enshrined: Ji Youyu, responsible for picking up a glass of wine and handing it to His Majesty the Emperor, let him sacrifice the world and detain the first ministers together, and then worship Cheng by the Ming Taichang Temple: Jin Yuanxuan, pick up the sacrifice to the heavens and walk on the stage to read, "The heir of the son of heaven (emperor title: Emperor Chongzhen of the letter) dare to play the Haotian Emperor, when the winter solstice, the six qi began to respect the ceremony, I would like to lead the ministers, respectfully sacrifice the jade silk to Qi Shengshu products, prepare this fire, only worship to God, and serve the high emperor with the emperor Yu God, and still enjoy. After the text was read, it was handed over to His Majesty the Emperor and burned in front of Dading.

Then it is to invite the gods, by the north and south of the town of Fusi brocade guards and palace maids and eunuchs holding a bucket of calves, a piece of jade, 12 blue suburb silk silk, a pig, two each, 12 baskets, 12 soybeans, 3 cangyujue, 3 wine zun, 1 blue lacquer group dragon fence, a white Fengxian silk satin, a cloud dragon fence, three celadon jue, a white ritual god silk a satin, to Ming Taichang Temple to enshrine the incense case in the middle of the Danqi, Ming Rites Department Shangshu: Wang Duo, take the lead on the incense rate of the officials to bow and bow three kowtows.

Then Taichang Temple Siqing, Shaoqing, Sicheng, Doctor, Master Book, Xielu Lang, Fengli Lang, Taizhu, Record, these nine officials stood in different directions and began to ask from the shrine of the god card, respectively; Lei Shi, Feng Bo, Yu Shi, Yun Shi, Zhou Tian Xingchen, Twenty-eight Nights, Seventy-two Star Generals, Five-Star Gods, Yeming, and other immortals held to Danqi to lead the gods from Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate into the imperial city.

Ming Yizong moved to the Taimiao to worship the ancestors, and the Jinyi guards of the Fusi of the north and south towns in front of him held four umbrellas, and the brocade guards wearing flying fish suits, bullfighting suits, and unicorn suits were in turn according to their ranks, and the Ming Jinyi guards wearing "python suits" carried out the honor guard etiquette under the leadership of the Zuo Dudu, and the 26 guards of the pro-army and the accompanying civil and military officials and ministers also went one after another.

After coming to the Taimiao Enjoyment Hall, I saw that the main hall was placed separately; Changling No. 2 Case, Xianling No. 2 Case, Jingling No. 2 Case, Yuling No. 3 Case, Maoling No. 4 Case, Tailing No. 2 Case, Kangling No. 2 Case, Yongling No. 4 Case, Zhaoling No. 4 Case, Dingling No. 3 Case, Qingling No. 4 Case, Deling No. 1 Case, and the subordinate case is the Imperial Concubine Sacrifice Case.
