Chapter 755: Sealing the Heavens and Claiming the Emperor, Worshipping the Heavens and Praying (I)
On the roof of the Jianzhang Palace, Wang Mang is wearing a five-clawed purple dragon robe, a golden dragon flat crown, and nine dragon auspicious cloud boots, a standard ancient ninety-five supreme dress.
Behind him stood hundreds of civil and military ministers, all of whom had solemn faces and were as imposing as rainbows.
At this moment, no one dares to take it lightly, and no one dares to make all kinds of small actions. Because this is Wang Mang leading hundreds of officials to pray to heaven and proclaim himself emperor, the rules are extremely strict. If something goes wrong at this time and causes the ritual of sacrificing to the heavens to be missing, then the end will be extremely miserable.
Everyone knows that they can go against Wang Mang on some occasions, and even fight in the ring with Wang Mang, but on some occasions, they must not mess around, and they have a very clear understanding of this.
There are things to do, and things to do!
Qin Tianjian, who presided over the ceremony of worshiping the heavens, glanced up at the sky, and then said to Wang Mang: "Your Majesty, three o'clock in the afternoon is coming, please also ask Your Majesty to get ready, pray for the people, and make a wish for the country." ”
Although Qin Tianjian does not have military power and political power in his hands, his role is still not small, because he is an important person who presides over all the sacrifices in the palace, and no one dares to offend him easily.
In the Western Han Dynasty, the theory of the gods was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and almost everyone believed that the person who held the position of Qin Tianjian could communicate with the heavens, so the Qin Tianjian was also very different in the hearts of everyone, and he was not bound by all rights and was at ease.
"The Heavenly Master has bothered! I'm ready. ”
At this time, it is to imitate the ancient three emperors to worship the sky, although Wang Mang usually does not pay much attention to some rules and etiquette, but at this juncture he still does not dare to have any negligence, because he is also very afraid of God in his heart, after all, the people take food as the sky, and the sky is everything.
"Knock knock..... Knock knock...."
The dull sound of war drums and trumpets sounded, and the forbidden soldiers standing on both sides of the altar beat the war drums and blew the trumpets to celebrate the ascension of the new monarch to the throne.
Suddenly, the drum beat loudly, shocking the heavens and the earth, spread all over the world.
At the same time as the sound of drums and cannons, Wang Mang bowed three times to the statue of the Three Emperors erected at the top of the altar.
Qin Tianjian stepped forward, took out the book of sacrifice to the heavens, and bowed to the sky: "The sky is above, the disciple bows his head and worships." The disciple was entrusted by all the people to take over the position of Qin Tianjian and assist the Son of Heaven in educating thousands of people and spreading the Great Dao. However, because of the shallow morality of the disciples and the lack of happiness of the Son of Heaven, the world was in turmoil, disasters were rampant, rebellions broke out everywhere, and thousands of Li people suffered greatly.
The disciples were heartbroken by this, and worked day and night to find a way to solve it, in order to restore the well-being of the people. At a time when Sheji was about to collapse and the universe was about to collapse, my Han was shocked to see Wang Mang, a genius of the world. Since his birth, Wang Mang has single-handedly turned the tide, turned the tide, restored order, and reorganized the mountains and rivers.
He rules the world based on benevolence, treats the family with filial piety, treats people with righteousness, and is loyal to the country, and the people of the world call him a saint. Today, Wang Mang has all the civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty to be promoted, and the people of the world begged to replace the Son of Heaven in the previous dynasty to take charge of the rivers and mountains of Kyushu, and implement the change of dynasty and the title of emperor.
The disciple implored the heavens to send blessings, bless Wang Mang to successfully condense the emperor's dragon qi and become the emperor, and perfect the ancient heaven sealing ceremony, so as to help the hundred officials and the people feel at ease, and the society will be forever solid....."
Qin Tianjian hung upside down to the high heavens and chanted for a long time, and in the end, all the civil and military ministers and the forbidden army knelt down on the ground together to worship the sky, reciting Wang Mang's sage, and asking the sky to send blessings.
When the ministers finished many ceremonies, Wang Mang said: "The ministers and Wang Mang are sincerely afraid of the first lesson of the sky and the gods of the four directions and the three emperors of antiquity, since the disciple entered the court and received the throne, he has respected the holy teachings of the three emperors, sympathized with the suffering of the people, cured the five qis, and the five kinds of arts, helped the people, Ze Quartet, fought the barbarians, guarded the eight directions, did not taste the peaceful residence, and exhausted himself.
However, our China has always been plagued by natural disasters, rebellions are everywhere, a group of heroes and deer, dividing China, chasing the southern invasion, and friendship with foreign barbarians. At this time when the rivers and mountains of Kyushu were in danger, several sons of heaven in the previous dynasty should not be the will of heaven, ignore the people, ignore the painstaking and good plans of the ministers, and finally lose the great virtue and the hearts of the people, resulting in the collapse of the rivers and mountains, and the chaos of war.
The ministers and the people were unwilling to collapse the rivers and mountains of Kyushu, and they did not want the war to never subside, so they jointly wrote to Bao Juchen to replace the former emperor and change the dynasty to be crowned emperor. Although the minister is willing to accept the order in danger, reopen the heavens and the earth, and govern the people, the minister is after all the minister of the former dynasty of the Son of Heaven, and he cannot rashly do rebellious things.
It is to pray to the gods of heaven together with the ministers and the Qin Heavenly Eunuch today, and to perfect the ritual of the ancient emperor's Zen concession, so as to correct the name. And offer three animals, sake and four real gifts and other gifts, and the above gifts and smoke. The minister prayed to the heavens, the gods of the four directions and the ancient emperor to give witness. Assist the ministers to condense the dragon qi, restore the dragon vein, Ze Limin, shape the hearts of the people, build arrogance, and remove rebellion. Blessed by the heavens, blessed by the gods....."
After speaking, Wang Mang took a torch and burned all kinds of gifts, paid a big salute, prayed silently, and prayed to heaven for blessings.
After praying for a few minutes, Wang Mang took a blank decree from the eunuch on the side. Then, he splashed ink and wrote a dense collection of sacrifices and general policies and strategies for governing the rivers and mountains on this blank holy decree.
When he finished writing, he cut the palm of his hand with a knife and covered the text with his own blood.
Originally, this sacrificial text did not need this procedure, and only needed to be stamped with the large seal of the jade seal of the country. Helplessly, the jade seal of the country suddenly disappeared for some reason, and Wang Mang had no choice but to replace the jade seal with his own blood.
After doing this, he burned this holy decree in the big tripod in front of the statue of the Three Emperors to express his intentions.
After the burning of the holy decree, Wang Mang was about to promulgate the decree, establish the name of the country, and determine the fortune of the country, when suddenly a huge gust of wind struck, blowing off the flags held high in the hands of many forbidden troops, and many courtiers and soldiers were blown by the strong wind and staggered and suffered a little damage.
Whew.... Whew..."
The wind did not stop, and the sky changed dramatically. The originally clear sky suddenly became terrifying, thunderstorms, and dark clouds covered the sky, as if it was about to rain heavily.
Everyone was shocked and panicked when they saw this happening, thinking that it was a bad omen.
Especially the royalists, they were even more excited. In their opinion, this is the manifestation of the previous emperors of the Han Dynasty to prevent Wang Mangxing from changing the dynasty and becoming the emperor.
"This is a sign of great misfortune, it can be seen that Wang Mang is a treacherous person, unworthy of the throne, and my Han Liu family still has luck." Liu Kang, the Taishou of Zhongshan, watched coldly, ready to see Wang Mang's jokes, and was also ready to spread this matter all over the world and interrupt Wang Mang's ambition to be the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this...."Gongsun Ce was a little anxious, if this gust of wind and thunder did not disappear quickly, then it meant that this move to seal the heavens and claim the emperor had failed, and Wang Mang would never have the opportunity to be the emperor again.
Heaven doesn't approve of it, so what's the use of forcibly claiming the emperor? It will only provoke endless wars and disobedience.
Gongsun Ce didn't know why this was happening, he was anxious.
