Early the next morning, the wolf-like tiger army arrested all the principal officials of Changshe County, and the experienced court lieutenant Feng Zai made a few corrupt officials shake off like beans in a bamboo tube after a little interrogation, and obtained a large amount of corruption evidence. reported to the first queen, the first emperor was furious, ordered all beheadings, confiscated family property, and all family members were relegated to the frontier to guard the border!

From now on, although the itinerary of the First Emperor remains the same, he will not meet with local officials and village elders again! Officials at all levels who couldn't figure out the truth and fiction were naturally panicked, but when they saw that there was no thunder falling, they were slowly relieved!

The First Emperor and his entourage arrived in Zou Cheng and summoned twelve highly respected Confucian scholars to discuss the matter of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen!

Who knows, the six doctors brought by the first emperor and more than a dozen local Confucian scholars had another controversy: this time it was about the road.

There were a total of 12 Ludi Confucian students attending the meeting, and they were dressed in high Confucian clothes, but they also looked quite free. Zou Cheng, who was in the lead, was even more ruddy, full of anger: "Your Majesty, according to the ancient system, the Son of Heaven must walk to the top of the mountain to perform the ceremony of sealing Zen!" The Ancient Sage King has always done the same. Therefore, there is no road in Mount Tai at present, and the ministers also insist that His Majesty walk up the mountain! ”

Ji Zhou in the doctor said slowly: "Ancient system? Not necessarily. We have read all the ancient books, but we have never seen this scripture. Besides, from the foot of Mount Tai to the top of the mountain, there are a total of 148 miles and 300 steps, if you really rely on your feet to walk up, how many of us old people can go up! ”

Zou Cheng said lightly: "Although Dr. Ji and the others are old and frail, they can't despise the conventions formed by the ancient and modern holy kings because of this!" Now that the doctors can't go up, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens will be completed by our Lu people! ”

Ji Zhou snorted angrily and said: "Nonsense, Your Majesty is the first saint monarch of the ages, so naturally there is a difference from before." What's more, we are the Central Doctors, can't we preside over the sacrifice to the heavens, and you can't preside over it! ”

Seeing the two groups arguing lively, Fusu couldn't help but feel a little ridiculous.

Of course, for this kind of controversy, Fusu only sees it as two groups of rotten Confucians eating dogs, sleeping with their eyes open, just as if they didn't hear it!

So, these two groups of Confucian scholars began to quote the scriptures and began to debate, and the words that made Fu Su dizzy and drowsy, and his upper and lower eyelids fought!

At the beginning, the First Emperor was still in the mood to listen to these two groups of idlers debating, but then he was annoyed by the quarrel, and clapped his hands and said, "Don't make any noise!" I've made up my mind! I am a Son of Heaven, a Son of God, not a slave! Someone came, spread my edict: order the magistrate to gather the people, widen and flatten the road within 20 days, and I will go by car! "This is the temper of the first emperor: he likes to be generous in his work!

As soon as these words came out, all the doctors suddenly looked triumphant, and Zou Cheng and other Confucian scholars had to make a final struggle: "Your Majesty, this is disrespectful to the Emperor of Heaven, and you must not do it!" ”

Fusu coughed at this time and said, "Okay, okay!" You're not tired! Father, son, have another opinion on the matter of climbing Mount Tai! The First Emperor was also tired of the noise of the Confucian scholars, and nodded: "What does the prince think?" Tell me about it! ”

Fusu said with a smile: "Erchen heard that the beauty of Mount Tai lies in the magnificence, there are not only the stacked mountains, the heavy shape, but also the tall desolate, the loud boulders, the sound of the clear spring, and the more peculiar is the change of the clouds and smoke in the early morning of Mount Tai, which is simply more magnificent and colorful than the divine light. Erchen had climbed Mount Tai before, and he had a deep understanding of this, but these scenery and wonders could not be seen much by car, so Erchen suggested that his father should not take the car, otherwise he would miss such a beautiful scenery, and he would not come to Mount Tai in vain! ”

The First Emperor was a little hesitant when he heard this, but after thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost missed the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai, so let's do it, the road doesn't need to be repaired anymore!" From tomorrow, I will walk and climb the mountain with all of you, and if you can't climb it, forget it, stay here and rest! Zou Cheng serves as the master of ceremonies! "Wow!"

The changing situation in the blink of an eye made the Confucian students of Ludi overjoyed, while the doctors were a little depressed!

In the early morning of the next day, the first emperor took Fusu, Feng Zheng and more than ten tall and powerful Ludi Confucian students, 600 Lang Zhong, and 6,000 tiger Ben troops up the mountain, and left the 6,000 tiger Ben army one after another as a guard in the middle of the mountain road, and only 600 Lang Zhong escorted them up the mountain!

On the way to climb the mountain, everyone looked around: the mountain of late spring up and down 'pine arch one day green, grass grows ten thousand green', red peach blossoms, white apricot blossoms, golden spring willows and forsythia flowers adorn the branches. The black locust flowers on both sides of the mountain stream are open from the bottom to the last time, the flowers are white like flocculent, and the fragrance of the flowers strikes people. A large area of Hubei begonias on the top of the mountain bloom buds, and the whole Mount Tai seems to have become a sea of flowers!

Seeing this, the First Emperor said with great joy: "Fortunately, Wang Er reminded me, otherwise I wouldn't have missed such a beautiful scenery!" Fusu said with a smile: "What my father sees now is only a scene of Mount Tai, continue to move forward, and the beautiful scenery will make my father amazed!" "The first emperor was excited, and he was in the prime of life, so he couldn't help but stride towards the top of the mountain! Zhao Gao ran and trotted behind the First Emperor!

Fusu smiled secretly in his heart, keeping a distance from the First Emperor, not wanting to disturb him too much. At this time, more than a dozen Confucian scholars who followed the later generations came up, and the leader Zou Cheng gave a salute to Fusu and said in a low voice: "Thank you for your help yesterday and protect my Taishan prestige, we are very grateful!" ”

Hearing this, Fusu said leisurely: "Benjun thinks that Mr. Zou has misunderstood, and I don't have the intention to help you." It's just that this monarch thinks about the people, and he is afraid that it will be a waste of people's power to open up mountain roads, so he suggested it to his father! You don't have to thank you! "Fusu doesn't have a good impression of these Confucian students, so his words are not very polite!

Zou Cheng was stunned, but still smiled and said: "The gentleman's benevolent heart makes Zou Cheng admire!" Anyway, the king still indirectly helped us and waited, so thank you! ”

There is a saying that 'reach out and don't hit the smiling person', Fusu had no choice but to smile and say: "You're welcome!" If you have something to say, let's look at the scenery! "Yes, yes!" Zou Cheng saw that Fusu was not interested in them, and he didn't dare to be bored, so he retired!

Everyone gradually walked up, and gradually saw that in the cracks of the earth-shattering boulders, a giant pine was smiling and greeting everyone, and there were even one or two clear springs bubbling up suddenly under many trees, which was really a bit of a strange realm of 'boulders can speak, and clear springs have sounds'!

Further up the mountain, the sky became more and more blue and high, and even saw a thousand-foot silver horse flying straight down the Baizhang Cliff in Xixi, Taishan, and making a huge roar.

Here, the blue sky is high, the mountains are empty, the pine waves are bursting, and the white clouds are long, which makes people fully appreciate the true meaning of the mountains and forests!

The first emperor looked at Dayue, his face became more and more joyful, and the people behind him seemed to have to trot to keep up!

Because the first emperor was far away from the Mount Tai mountain range and began to climb the mountain, it was more than 100 miles away from the main peak of Mount Tai that was used for sacrifice, so it was naturally difficult to climb to the top of the peak in a day. No, watching the sun gradually go west, everyone only briefly made some dry food at noon, and they couldn't help but feel a little belly drumming and their waist and knees sore. And the First Emperor is already forty years old after all, and he also feels a little sore!

Seeing that the First Emperor couldn't stand it anymore, Fusu hurriedly persuaded: "Father, it's not far from the top of the mountain anyway, just find a place to rest here!" Wake up early tomorrow morning to hike the mountain and watch the magnificent sunrise! The First Emperor nodded hurriedly and said with a wry smile: "I'm old, and I'm not as physically energetic as when I was young, so I'll order Langzhong to find a convenient place to camp, and play some game to improve the food!" ”

Hearing this, Fusu said enthusiastically: "Erchen will go in person, I haven't hunted for many years, or when I was a child, my father often took Erchen to Shanglin Yuan to hunt!" The First Emperor didn't have that energy, and said with a smile: "I can't walk anymore, you should be careful yourself!" "Yes, Father!"

After a while, Fu Su came back in a hurry, carrying a few pheasants and rabbits that had bad luck and hit the arrow, and Wuxin and others behind him also had their own gains. Hundreds of Lang Zhong who accompanied the hunting were also skilled elite men with bows and horses, and they naturally returned with a full load as soon as they shot, what deer, wolves, wild boars, pheasants, etc. bent everyone's waists!

Fusu Le smiled at the First Emperor and said, "Father, you see that Erchen shot several fat rabbits, some pheasants, and caught a few fat wild fish in a water tank on the mountainside, all of which are my father's favorite food!" The sons and daughters will cook it for their father! ”

When the First Emperor heard this, he jumped up and said excitedly: "No, no, I'll come in person!" ”

Fusu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "No, no, how can you ask your father to do it himself!" ”

The First Emperor was a little displeased and said, "Why, I look down on my father's craftsmanship!" I tell you, before I was in power, I often went to Shanglin Yuan! In particular, none of you can compare to the art of roasting these game! ”

Seeing that the first emperor had lost his temper, Fusu was stunned, so he had to smile and say: "Since my father has this Yaxing, the ministers there have to eat ready-made!" Unintentionally, you clean up the game and hand it over to your father! "Wow!"

After a while, Wuxin waited to present the packed game to the First Emperor, who excitedly took off his long dragon robe, changed into a close-fitting short suit, and happily skewered the game, put it on the bonfire and began to barbecue.

Watching the First Emperor smiling and roasting the game evenly on the flame, the serious and excited expression made everyone a little dazed: Is this obviously a very naughty big child, where is it like an iron-blooded emperor who makes the world bleed thousands of miles at every turn!

For a while, everyone quietly watched the First Emperor seriously barbecue, and couldn't bear to spoil the good mood that the First Emperor had rarely seen for many years.

In a short time, the hares, pheasants, and fish on several grills were all scorched and scorched with fright, exuding an attractive fragrance, and the First Emperor became more and more busy, tirelessly running back and forth between several grills, and everyone could not help but be dumbfounded while drooling!

Finally, the First Emperor exclaimed, "Alright, alright, it's ready to eat!" The First Emperor picked up a browned hare from a grill, tore off a rabbit leg with his black hands, bit it hard, and couldn't help laughing: "It's okay, it's okay, it's not baked for many years, and the craftsmanship has not regressed!" ”

At this time, the First Emperor remembered to take a look at Fusu, Feng Zheng, Zhong Lusheng, Zhao Gao and others, but found that everyone was dumbfounded, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, I didn't expect me to have this hand!" Alas, what are you still doing stupidly, eat it quickly, otherwise it will be mushy if you bake it again! ”

Everyone woke up like a dream, and saw that the first emperor was very interested, and there was no fear, and they rushed up, you fought for me, and started to fight for the game.

Fusu was young and strong, fast, and closest to the First Emperor, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he snatched a roasted hare, tore off a big hind leg, and then threw the rest of the rabbit meat to Wuxin and the others.

Smelling the intoxicating aroma and crisp yellow appearance of the rabbit meat in his hand, Fusu couldn't wait to bite into it, and suddenly his mouth was full of oil, only to feel that the rabbit meat in his mouth was fresh and crispy, crispy and tender, and shouted: "It's delicious, it's delicious, I didn't expect my father's craftsmanship to be so good!" That's just the case with the Imperial Chef! ”

At this time, everyone also grabbed a copy, sat on the mountain and chewed with their mouths full, and nodded frequently when they heard the words: "It's delicious, it's delicious, Your Majesty's craftsmanship is really extraordinary!" ”

The First Emperor laughed happily: "Okay, then eat more!" "The First Emperor, who has not been so relaxed for many years, is now more like a playful mortal!

……

The night is getting deeper, the stars in the sky are gradually more and brighter, and the evening breeze is suddenly blowing, bringing a burst of coolness!

Lang Zhong ordered Zuo Shi to come to see the first emperor and said: "Your Majesty, a simple camp has been built, please rest in peace Your Majesty!" The first emperor, who was still in high spirits, refused: "No, I am in a very good mood today, I don't live in the camp, I want to camp!" ”

Feng Zheng was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the wind in the mountains is strong, the dew is heavy, your dragon body is important, let's go into the camp tent to rest!" Fusu also persuaded: "Yes, father, let's go into the camp tent and rest!" ”

The First Emperor stubbornly raised his voice and said, "Why, look down on me!?" Let me tell you, when I was young, I used to camp in Shanglin Yuan, and I never got sick, and now although I am older, my body is not inferior to that of young people! I'm camping right here! The First Emperor resolutely pointed to the ground, with an unquestionable expression!

Everyone looked at Fusu with a sad face, and Fusu said with a smile: "Even if my father is not afraid of wind and frost, it is difficult to ensure safety in the wilderness, after all, this is Mount Tai, not Shanglin Yuan, which is heavily garrisoned!" ”

When the First Emperor heard this, he laughed and said: "What are you afraid of, this is my world, and there can be someone who rebels against the sky!" What's more, you, Wu Anjun, are also the generals of the world, with the king here, what am I afraid of! Needless to say, camp right here! If you can't stand it, go back to the camp by yourself! "The first emperor waved his hand and made the final decision!

Everyone had to look at it helplessly, and shook their heads with a wry smile!

So, everyone had to accompany the first emperor to camp in the wilderness, the emperor was not afraid, and everyone did not dare to show cowardice! Of course, the surrounding guard posts still have to be properly arranged, otherwise there is no possibility of barren mountains and mountains, and it will not be troublesome if a tiger pops out at night!

As the night wore on, the First Emperor by the campfire soon fell asleep and began to snort! In recent years, Fusu, who has no camping experience, has been hiding on the bed and can't fall asleep over and over, looking at the sleeping first emperor, Fusu can't help but secretly respect: "Daddy, the first emperor through the ages, has never been afraid of any enemy, any difficulty, his broad-mindedness, strong will, free and easy, and his talent is lofty, even I, a modern person, is quite inferior!" ”

Fusu thought about it, a gust of wind blew, his eyes couldn't help blurring, and he soon fell asleep!

I don't know how long I slept, but suddenly Fusu was woken up: "Junshang, Junshang!" Fusu immediately woke up and looked up, but he didn't care.

"What's wrong, it's time to go?"

"Yes, it's almost the fourth watch! You have to start early, or you won't be able to see the sunrise in time! ”

Fusu got up and looked at the First Emperor's bunk, but found that the First Emperor's bunk was empty. Fusu was stunned: "What about my father?" Wuxin smiled and said: "Your Majesty is in a very good mood, you have already gotten up and gone to wash!" ”

Fusu smiled secretly in his heart, and hurriedly walked to the camp not far away, this time up the mountain, the first emperor and Fusu's maid palace did not follow, and the washing matters had to be taken care of by the close guards!

After a while, everyone was ready, because it was best to fast before going to Mount Tai to show piety, so everyone did not eat breakfast, and then pulled out the camp and went to the main peak of Mount Tai!

The mountain road became more and more rugged, and everyone walked in the dark, and they couldn't help but be quite careful. Fusu and Zhao Gao were by the side of the First Emperor, protecting them at any time, but the First Emperor was walking like a fly, and he didn't feel tired at all, and Fusu couldn't help but be secretly surprised by his good health!

Gradually, the sky revealed a touch of fish belly white, and the clouds in the distance also looked a little golden. The crowd quickened their pace, and finally reached the summit of Mount Tai before sunrise.

"Father, look, the sun is about to come out!" Fusu, who was already familiar with the way, pointed to the east with his hand on the edge of the cliff.

In the distant sky, the first rays of the sun are tearing through the darkness before dawn, causing the eastern canopy to gradually turn from pitch black to white and red, until it is dazzling golden, and it shoots out ten thousand rays of light. Finally, a round of fiery red jumped out of the water and rose into the air, announcing the arrival of the day. The whole process is like a skilled magician, and in an instant, thousands of colorful pictures are conjured, which is breathtaking!

This series of spectacular sunrises made everyone who had never seen such a spectacle a little stunned, and even seemed to forget to breathe, and could not hear a few gasps, as if they were afraid to scare the sun back.

"Great! Great! The first emperor was envious for a long time, and finally spoke up, with a face of surprise and admiration!

"Yes, yes! A trip to Mount Tai in this life, the rest of the wish is enough! "Feng Zheng is also dumbfounded!

Fusu smiled: "Don't worry, there will be beautiful scenery after the sun rises, and it will make my father breathtaking!" "Oh!" The First Emperor was delighted, and looked into the distance with great interest, waiting for the beautiful scenery to appear again.

Suddenly, there was a slippery rain in the sky, dripping with a bit of coolness.

Gradually, the sun rose, higher and higher, and began to emit a blazing glow. The drizzle soon stopped, and there was no wind on the top of the mountain.

Gradually, a new round of wonders appeared: white clouds in the distance converged together, spreading thousands of miles, like a huge jade plate suspended between heaven and earth. The mountains in the distance were all engulfed in clouds and mist, and only a few peaks were exposed to the clouds; Visitors in the vicinity step on the clouds and fog, as if they have come to the sky. The breeze blows, the sea of clouds floats, the peaks disappear from time to time, like the elusive fairy island, the wind is strong, the jade plate will turn into a dragon, flying up and down, turning the river and the sea!

In front of this spectacular wonder of heaven and earth, everyone felt their own insignificance for a while, and even the first emperor, who had always been broad-minded, was pious and awe-inspiring in such a situation!

After a long time, the First Emperor exhaled a breath: "The wonder of heaven and earth is like this!" Everyone also woke up like a dream, with a look of admiration.

The First Emperor settled down and came to the altar, and Lang Zhong quickly spread the soft cushions.

The First Emperor fell to his knees, looked up at the sky, folded his palms, and quietly prayed to heaven and earth, hoping that the heavens would give him a little inspiration!

But after waiting for a long time, I haven't heard of what the doctors said about celestial induction. Isn't it recorded in the history books that those ancient holy kings have been instructed by the gods in Mount Tai!?

The First Emperor knelt down in front of the altar again, closed his eyes, gathered his consciousness, and muttered a prayer: "God, I am the Son of Heaven, and I am your son!" Please speak to your son! ”

Sadly, however, the First Emperor waited a little longer, but still did not hear what God had to say to him! The First Emperor, whose face was confused, suddenly remembered the words of the 'Old Man in the Middle Hide': "Ghosts and gods are a kind of thing that believes in what they have, and what they don't have when they believe in nothing!" So, to win the government, you must have a clear mind and not be confused by the theory of ghosts and gods! Of course, at that time, Ying Zheng, who was a faithful believer in ghost and godism, just laughed at the old man's earnest words!

But the First Emperor was now surprised: Could it be that the theory of ghosts and gods was really just a legend? Or is it just a lie about the superiors maintaining their position of power?

The First Emperor's head was almost painful, and he almost believed the words of the 'Hidden Old Man', thinking that there were really no gods and ghosts in this world!

The firm faith gradually collapsed, and the somewhat desperate First Emperor raised his head and looked into the distance!

The wind is getting stronger, the sun is getting higher, and the original magnificent sea of clouds is gradually disappearing! "God, the sun rises every day, and I win? Are you going to be buried in the ground forever!? I'm not reconciled! Speak to me, O God, and show me a way to eternal life. Your son is begging you religiously! ”

The sad First Emperor gradually felt a little dizzy, after all, he was already forty years old, and he had driven more than a hundred miles of mountains in a row, and suffered some wind and cold while camping in the wilderness, and he actually fell asleep on the altar in front of him!

Seeing this, Fusu was a little worried, and quietly took off the cloak behind him and covered the first emperor's body, but did not wake up the first emperor, intending to let the first emperor rest for a while!

And at this time, the First Emperor was hazy, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep, and he didn't know whether he had really woken up, and suddenly, he seemed to hear a voice in the clouds saying:

"Win Zheng, I will entrust all the people of the world to you, you have to take good care of them!"

"Are you God? I'll definitely take good care of them! Can you tell me the secret of immortality? ”

"You're the best of the sky!"

"Can you tell me how I can run this country well?"

"You're the best of the sky!"

"Can Qin last forever?"

"You're the best of the sky!"

……

Although the First Emperor asked a lot of questions, Yun kept repeating this sentence.

More suddenly, a dazzling lightning bolt lit up, and a deafening thunder seemed to sound around him, and the First Emperor suddenly woke up!

He didn't know if he had fainted or fallen asleep again, he didn't know if he had really woken up, and he didn't know if it was a dream just now, or if it was a dream now. But he believed from now on that he was the proud son of heaven, and that he ruled all the people on behalf of heaven!

Since then, the mentality and pursuit of the first emperor have changed, and he was finally taken advantage of by traitorous ministers, which Fusu did not expect!
