Chapter 769: Sanctification
Burning paper, burning incense, reciting sacrificial texts, the inherent routines of the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, in fact, without amplification equipment, Sun Xiangfu really read something on the high platform, and few people could hear it at all.
So, read it, read it, that's it, it's all Li Shimin looking for someone to catch a pen and beautify his own things, if you really believe the content in it, your intelligence points will drop at least two big stars.
"Husband, be serious, after reading it, you should turn around and go to the front of the stairs to receive the greetings of your subjects." Seeing that Sun Xiangfu finished reading this sacrificial text that made him not know how many goosebumps he had dropped, he was a little dazed, and Yu Xiu'er reminded him loudly.
"What should I do next?"
"Walk to the stairs and stand still, the Zhao Guild will shout according to the process!"
"Let's do it together!"
"No, it's you who canonized it, you just go and pay homage."
"Let's be husband and wife!"
"Oh well! I'm half a step behind you, though. ”
After a few moments, the two of them staggered slightly by half and returned to the front of the stairs, looking directly at the audience.
"Bye~!"
With the shout of the eldest grandson Wuji, the subjects and people around the altar bowed down one after another, shouting, "Meet Master Sun." ”
"Husband, raise your hands, raise your hands."
Yu Xiu'er opened her mouth slightly and reminded in an angry voice.
So, Sun Xiangfu was like Li Shimin when he was in the court meeting before, exempting the courtiers from saluting, his hands were spread out and held up.
"Up~!"
The eldest grandson Wuji shouted again, except for Li Shimin and his wife, who did not bow down, everyone else stood up straight according to their words.
"Please crown the new saint with His Majesty the Supreme Emperor."
Although Li Shimin has not actually completed the ceremony of adding the supreme human emperor, as early as last year, after the people asked for their lives in front of the Daming Palace, and Li Shimin agreed to the number, everyone called it so in public.
At this time, Wu Meiniang, who was standing under the Temple of Heaven before, and the two maids walked behind Li Shimin and his wife with three trays.
The five of them stood in front of the stairs in front of the Temple of Heaven and walked up the steps, while Sun Xiangfu turned around, turned his face to the audience, knelt down on the kneeling mat that had been laid on the Temple of Heaven, and after Li Shimin walked up to the stage, he leaned forward and stretched his head out.
Empress Changsun took off the fist-sized gold crown she was wearing on her head, and Li Shimin had already picked up a pure gold Yishan crown from the tray that Wu Meiniang was carrying.
This crown is all made in the last few days, Li Shimin is the first time to see, the crown is around the perimeter, inlaid with a whole circle of diamonds with red, blue and purple and other colors, the hair bun is carved with two golden dragons, and the middle of the golden dragon, not a gold bead with flame cloud pattern, but a piece of two golden rice ears wrapped, carved out with Sun Xiangfu's unique Song characters, a more three-dimensional agricultural character.
Overall, this crown is even better than the crown of the Double Dragon Playing Beads version worn on Li Shimin's head, because Li Shimin's crown does not have so many shiny colored diamonds, the fireball in the center, and it is not like Sun Xiangfu's cockade, the core of the carved big character is conspicuous and beautiful.
However, his new crown is almost ready, called the Nine Dragons Wing Crown, and after the crimson diamond that can play the finishing touch is inlaid, it will be the most gorgeous and valuable crown in the world, and his descendants will not dare to wear his Supreme Crown.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, please tie the new saint." The eldest grandson Wuji, who acted as the master of ceremonies, shouted again after Sun Xiangfu's new crown was put on.
At this time, Sun Xiangfu stood up from the kneeling mat, faced the subjects and people in the audience, stretched out his hands, and Empress Changsun and Yu Xiu'er took off the jade belt of the original prince and young master on Sun Xiangfu's body, as well as the golden purple fish talisman on the belt, and put them in the empty tray held by Wu Meiniang.
Li Shimin also buckled the white jade belt inlaid with a golden dragon and various colored gems on Sun Xiangfu's waist that the second maid was carrying.
"Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, please match the seal for the new saint." After the belt was buckled, the eldest grandson Wuji shouted again.
Ordinary ministers wear fish bags and fish charms, like the golden purple fish charm on Sun Xiangfu's waist before, which is already the highest level of things that courtiers can wear, which represents the identity and authority of officials.
However, the emperor, the saint, wears the jade seal, Sun Xiangfu canonized, and enjoys the same treatment as the previous emperor, so the jade seal that is smaller than the jade seal in Li Shimin's hand is hung on Sun Xiangfu's waist, this thing is actually used for sealing, and it will be Sun Xiangfu's administrative seal in the future.
Let the emperor tie his belt and hang the seal, in this world, Sun Xiangfu is the only one, his smug expression has not yet been revealed, Li Shimin whispered in his ear, "In a few months, it will be your turn to hang the seal on the belt." ”
"Hehe, that's also a subordinate." Sun Xiangfu replied in a low voice, and there was a bit of smugness in his tone.
Li Shimin thought about it, Sun Xiangfu was canonized, he just organized officials and some people in Beijing to come to watch the ceremony, and it was normal for those in high positions to crown their subordinates.
And when he added his honorific title, all the officials above the state assassin level in the country had to be present, and Sun Xiangfu was crowned for him as a subordinate.
Generally speaking, the crowned person is a person who has a more noble status and a longer generation than the crowned person.
It's a pity that Li Yuan has been dead for several years, and in this world, there is no more noble person than Li Shimin's identity, so he can only retreat to the next best thing, so that Sun Xiangfu, whose status is only below him in the future, comes.
"The new saint is saluted by the subjects, worship~" After a complete set of saints' outfits were dressed, the eldest grandson Wuji shouted again.
At this time, the people in the audience, under the leadership of Li Chengqian again, bent down and bowed, shouting, "Meet the saint." ”
Sun Xiangfu spread his hands again and lifted them upward, signaling everyone to be exempt.
After everyone resumed their standing formation, the eldest grandson Wuji shouted, "Please give a speech to the new saint." ”
Here, it is the first public holy word that Sun Xiangfu said after he was canonized, in fact, the Ministry of Rites had written some lines that he had learned after hard work, but Sun Xiangfu felt that it was inappropriate, and in the end, he still needed to use some plagiarism and change techniques.
I saw him take a step forward and walk to the front of the steps. He said aloud to the audience, "All scholars who succeed me need to establish their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, create unique learning for mankind, and open peace for all generations." ”
As soon as these words came out, all the people who heard this sentence on the spot, including Li Shimin, had their hearts beating faster, and there was a feeling that they had to raise their heads to the top and look at the peaks from afar.
Because, its idea is too high.
According to the understanding of this sentence by a scholar like Li Shimin, it is the mission of those who inherit my doctrine to establish the core values for the whole society, choose the correct direction of destiny for the people, establish the meaning of life, create technology for human research that can allow everyone to live in peace, and open up a foundation for the world that can be peaceful for all eternity.
This is really a majestic sentence that can only be said from the perspective of a saint.
After his words fell, the musicians of the art troupe, the soldiers in the Temple of Heaven Square, and even the soldiers who lined up to maintain order along the entire pier leading to Weishui began to repeat his words.
Suddenly, the sound wave, centered on the Temple of Heaven Square, continued to spread farther away, this sentence, I don't know how many soldiers, and the mouths of ordinary people repeated, gradually, resounded throughout the entire Chang'an City, and, enduring.
In the Temple of Heaven Square, the most wonderful expression is actually Li Chunfeng, who is standing at the head of the Taishi Supervisor's class.
He couldn't have imagined that after he calculated that Sun Xiangfu had a saint's life more than 20 years ago, he was lucky enough to see the scene of his sanctification, which was simply incredible.
It turns out that the perspective of the sage's inner view of the problem is actually so high, no wonder like Confucius and Mencius, what they say is the supreme truth of the world, which is really an existence at a different level from mortals.
If Li Shimin just thought that the person who added the crown of the Supreme Man to himself was Sun Xiangfu, he was still a little awkward and imperfect in his heart, but now, he doesn't think so.
Sun Xiangfu has this qualification, and in this world, there is no more suitable person to crown himself than him.
Almost all people from all social strata were shocked in their hearts when they heard this sentence, whether it was Sun Xiangfu's friends in the past, such as the Xingfu Village Department who was engaged in research work in various research institutes, or the academician and doctor of the Jiuyuan County Department.
still had a holiday with Sun Xiangfu in the past, such as Lu Wenyuan, Zheng Xuancheng and others from five surnames and seven families, and Wang Xu, who has been pitted by Sun Xiangfu for more than ten years, are full of emotion in their hearts at the moment.
It was only now that they felt their insignificance in front of a saint.
Looking back on the past, there are some enlightened people who feel that they are very shameless and low-level at that time, and some people feel that they are very stupid and ridiculous. Others feel that they should work hard in the future and move forward in the direction that Sun Xiangfu said.
Including Kong Yingda, who understood this sentence as another version of Confucianism, and a group of Confucian students.
Thanks to the medical skills of Shanyang Medical College, Kong Yingda has not died yet, and he is still surrounded by many teaching doctors, and came to the scene, when he heard this sentence, he thought that this sentence was said by a Confucian child!
It would be perfect if you added the phrase 'for the sake of the saints'.
It's a pity that Sun Xiangfu didn't call on everyone to inherit the transcendent learning of the saints, which is even a direct request to the disciples of the later generations from the perspective of the identity of the saint.
After changing this sentence in the original sentence, what he expressed was that he hoped that the latecomers would jump out of the framework of only learning the knowledge theory of the sages, open up their innovative horizons, and create more and newer knowledge to ensure the survival, reproduction and development of human beings.
One is to fry leftovers in the pot created by the ancestors thousands of years ago, and the other is to let the disciples learn and open up more fried rice pots for the people, this idea is not at the same level.
But no matter what, Kong Yingda has recognized in his heart that Sun Xiangfu is a person who can be compared with the ancestors, and his talent and learning are no longer comparable to his own people, and he deserves to be canonized.
When the whole Chang'an was shaken by these words, the whole ceremony of canonization ended in the third bow of the subjects to Sun Xiangfu.
When the phrase "follow the teachings of the saints" was shouted by all the people present, Sun Xiangfu could finally step down and leave.
However, he could not leave smoothly, and all the courtiers who had known each other in the past gathered around to congratulate, shake hands, and say hello.
In addition to Li Ke and Sun Xiaomei, Sun Xiangfu met most of the acquaintances who are still alive, because Li Ke is now appointed by Li Shimin as the governor of the Byzantine region, and Sun Xiaomei is following him, teaching the local people to cultivate knowledge, and it may take another month or two before they will leave for Chang'an to participate in the ceremony of Li Shimin's addition to the emperor's title.
