Chapter 391: Sacrifice to the Heavens

In spring, the sun is warm. Dust↑緣↓Literature ↙? Net

In half a morning, the emperors of all countries arrived one after another, and the cars and dragons stopped outside the palace gate, which was dazzling.

This time, unlike the past few small gatherings, the honor guards of the emperors of all countries were the most majestic and luxurious.

Outside the city, it is naturally crowded with people.

However, the inspection of the Praetorian Guard was also more stringent, and after the people had seen the big scene, they also dispersed, and went back one by one to wait for the news, thinking about the boy who sold the newspaper and told him to send it to himself as soon as a new issue of the "Dacang Times" came out, and it would be a pleasure to see it.

In the imperial palace, the venue of the alliance was not set up in the imperial hall.

Because even the largest temple in Cangguo is too small at this time.

The so-called alliance, which has been handed down since ancient times, is done in accordance with the gift of the Son of Heaven, that is to say, it is the specification of the pilgrimage to the Son of Heaven.

Therefore, the size of the court hall is far from enough.

In the large open space outside the court, there are eight large incense burners one person high, with smoke curling and fragrant.

In all directions, ritual vessels are placed to worship the heavens.

The carved cases are neatly placed.

Even the small tripod for the emperors of all countries to enjoy the food of the heavens is very exquisite.

"That's a lot of money!"

Emperor Wu stepped into the arena and couldn't help but clap his hands and sigh.

It is said that the tall incense burners are not simply made, only the advanced iron-smelting technology of Cangguo can produce eight such large incense burners in a short time.

The small tripod placed on the long case is even more exquisite.

It's all silverware!

The patterns on it are very exquisite, and the flowers, birds, fish and beasts are lifelike, and there is no difference to be seen.

This is not the work of ordinary craftsmen!

Emperor Wu rubbed the small silver tripod with his hand, and his heart was both shocked and sighed, Cangguo's technical smelting technology has really reached the point of reaching the peak!

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from a distance, and it was the eunuch singing: "The Son of Heaven has arrived!" ”

Poof!

The eunuchs and guards of the palace, including the attendants brought by the emperors of various countries, all bowed down.

Fan Hongji, Wang Ying and others also hurriedly knelt down and prostrate in the grass, no one wanted to be accused of being disrespectful at this time.

Luan drove over from afar, hundreds of guards rode horses and straddled swords, and forty-nine wrestlers in yellow clothes pushed the bright yellow cart slowly.

The cart was held up by these wrestlers like a sedan chair, as smooth as flying.

These wrestlers are the elite cultivated by the Cangguo Imperial Court, and they were originally served as waiters on the side of Yang Mulong, imitating the Yellow Turban wrestlers around the Son of Heaven.

It is rumored that there was a group of Yellow Turban wrestlers around the Changchun Emperor back then, all of whom were strong people who had been cultivated since childhood, not only grew like a tiger's back, but also had infinite strength, which was recorded in the ancient history books as "Yellow Turban Warriors".

In recent years, Yang Mu also intended to imitate, and the honor guards around him also began to learn from him, selected a large number of elite people, trained for many years, and became a low-profile version of the Yellow Turban Force.

This is not luxury, but etiquette.

Next to the Yellow Turban Lux, there are even more palace ladies shuttling, carrying golden lamps and incense burners, and there are thirty-six.

In addition, there were seventy-two eunuchs raising flags.

Sitting on the bright yellow cart in the center is the protagonist of this sacrifice, Ji Hao, the son of heaven of the Great Rite Dynasty.

"I've seen the Son of Heaven, long live long live long live."

All the emperors and princes and nobles shouted from all the mountains.

"Get up."

Ji Hao got out of the car, slowly stepped on the high platform, and sat on his desk.

Perhaps because the injury on his leg was not completely healed, he sat down with a slight abnormality, his brows furrowed, and he took a deep breath.

"Let's get started."

Ji Hao waved his hand, and immediately an official next to him, holding a small ding, walked in front of him.

Dingli is filled with bacon, which is used to worship the food of the heavens in ancient times, which is smoked from the meat of wild animals, symbolizing the victory of civilization over barbarism and the way of heaven.

"The kingdoms of the world have been stable for a long time, and there is no great war. However, the Jin State was arrogant and arrogant, and repeatedly provoked wars, first there was a war against Wei, and then there was rudeness to the Son of Heaven, which should have been destroyed! ”

"All the countries will be in Cangcheng for a while, discuss the plan of the Jin, and the countries will send more than 5 million troops to uphold the right path, and defeat the Jin in the four fields, the world can be learned!"

"Pity the people of the Jin State and the innocent subjects, remove the abuse, the countries are magnanimous and self-conscious, and the matter of agreeing on punishment has been accomplished, so the second meeting will be in Cangcheng to establish the responsibility of the Jin State and its allies."

Ji Hao, the Son of Heaven, held a small tripod, read the sacrificial text, and counted the mistakes of the Jin Kingdom.

Yang Mu sat below, the first paragraph was fine, but when he got to the back, he basically couldn't listen to it.

It's too boring, just like listening to the leader's report in the previous life, it is even more boring than when the Cangguo sacrifice ceremony.

Of course, vaguely he also heard some crimes about the Jin Kingdom, but he scoffed at them.

Is the world in turmoil because of the Jin Kingdom?

Is it because of the existence of the Jin Kingdom, and there are constant disputes?

Obviously, none of these are any.

The real culprit is the Son of Heaven of the Dali Dynasty, after all, in the first one or two hundred years of the Dali Dynasty, the world was very stable, and all countries adhered to the royal system with each other, even if there was friction, most of them asked for the Son of Heaven to decide, and there was never a land dispute.

Even, some small countries do not have an army at all, and only government officials to maintain order are sufficient.

In terms of titles, the monarchs of various countries did not even dare to call themselves kings, and the people called their own monarchs "kings".

So, what caused the decline of the Dali Dynasty?

It is true that there are limitations of the feudal system, but the reason is that the so-called Son of Heaven is too comfortable and perverse.

For example, after each Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he would divide the land for his close people, and in the end, there were more and more countries, and the land of Wangji became smaller and smaller, causing the power of the Son of Heaven to shrink.

Later, once any country did not abide by the royal system, the Son of Heaven was more and more inclined to rely on the armies of other countries out of various considerations.

As a result, Wangji's military decadence, while the power of some countries is gradually growing.

Finally, this contradiction accumulated to a certain extent, and when in a major war, after the defeat of the princes appointed by the Son of Heaven, the Son of Heaven had no choice but to send Wang Ji's army to the expedition, and they were defeated again.

Not to mention, the state of Chu once defeated the army of the Son of Heaven.

At this time, several generations of unrighteous Son of Heaven were born in a row, and the strength of the countries was not strong, so they hurriedly coped with things.

Over time, the nations discovered that the Son of Heaven was nothing more than that.

In the past, once the kings of various countries made a mistake and encountered the edict of the Son of Heaven, they could only bow down and confess their sins.

Since the countries found out that the Son of Heaven was a paper tiger, they had the intention of resisting and fighting for it.
