After Li Jiancheng left Qingzhou, he walked all the way, Li Jiancheng looked at the official documents sent from all over Qilu Hebei in the car, originally, Li Jiancheng rode all the way, but with more and more official documents in Qilu Hebei, Li Jiancheng moved from the horse to the carriage. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 At this time, Li Jiancheng's guards reported to Li Jiancheng outside the car:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a group of people kneeling on the side of the road to greet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness the Prince, do you get out of the car to meet him?" Li Jiancheng once gave an order that when he encountered the people kneeling on the road, he should not be driven away, but should be appeased and asked about the situation. Dispose of it again. Li Jiancheng asked the guard:
"Who are they?"
"Your Highness, led by an old man, is dressed in rich clothes. According to them, they are members of the Qilu Cao clan and the Xiahou clan. ”
"Oh! It's ...... them," Li Jiancheng got out of the car.
"Qilu Tai'an Cao Clan, Cao Anbao, the patriarch of the Cao Clan, led all the clansmen of Qilu Tai'an Cao Clan and Xiahou Clan. I would like to welcome His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is requested to move to Tai'an. Li Jiancheng lifted the patriarch of the Cao clan up and said with a smile:
"Hey! Old man, you are so old, and you are still here to welcome me, how is this possible? Folks, Get up, please! ”
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!" The clansmen of the Qilu, Tai'an, Cao, and Xiahou clans present all got up.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, there is Tai'an in front, why don't you go to Tai'an to rest before?" Li Jiancheng shook his head:
"Ladies and gentlemen, this palace is used to sleeping in the open. I will not enter the city, however, the palace has long heard the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai, as the saying goes, not to climb Mount Tai is not a hero, today I will invite the old patriarch and you, accompany the palace to climb the top of Mount Tai, a glance at the style of Mount Tai. Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been known as "the first of the five mountains", "the chief of the five mountains", and "the first mountain in the world". Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as the paradise of "straight to the emperor's seat", became the sacred mountain that the people worshipped, and the emperor sacrificed, and there was a saying that "Mount Tai is safe, and the four seas are safe". Legend has it that the first emperor to climb to the top of Mount Tai and worship was Dashun in ancient times. The Han Dynasty Bangu "White Tiger Tongyi" said: "The king is ordered, and the surname is changed, and he will be promoted to Mount Tai." What? The righteousness of the teachings also. At the time of the first order, the restructuring should be heavenly, the world was peaceful, and things became sealed Zen, so as to tell the peace. "The Five Classics of General Righteousness" says: "The mandate of heaven is the king, so that the people are born, sue for peace in the sky, and repay the merits of the gods." This seems to be purely for political purposes, indicating that the emperor was ordered by the king to be in heaven, to tell heaven peace, to express gratitude for the merits of protection, and of course, to report on how outstanding the emperor's political achievements were. The specific ritual of the consecration is symbolic. Bangu said: "Therefore, those who are promoted to the seal will also increase their height; The foundation of the father of the lower Zen Liang is also broad and thick; Those who engrave the stone number will make their own achievements for self-efficacy. Heaven to high respect, the earth to thick for the virtue, so increase the height of Mount Tai to repay the sky, attached to the father of the Liang to repay the earth, tomorrow the earth's order, the success of the success, beneficial to the heaven and earth, if the high one is higher, the thick one is thicker". ("White Tiger Tongyi" and "Rites and Justice" cloud: "If you sacrifice to the sky, you will burn firewood, and the sky will be the sun; Sacrifice to the ground, the paralyzed, and the moon to worship. "The various purposes and symbols of the original meditation all contain a deeper layer of consciousness: when communicating with heaven and man, coordinate the relationship between heaven, earth, god and man, so that they can achieve the harmony and unity of spiritual will and external behavior. Looking at Mount Tai, the mountain is high and far away, the grass and trees are verdant, the peaks are like Dai, the forest is lush and the spring is flying, and the weather is thousands. Li Jiancheng suddenly thought of the famous sentence of the Emperor of the Heavenly Dynasty in later generations - the country is so delicate, attracting countless heroes to bend their waists. If it weren't for the presence of so many people, I'm afraid Li Jiancheng would really have to sing out. Cao Anbao and the others saw that Li Jiancheng was distracted, and they all lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak, when a woman's voice sounded:
"I have heard for a long time that His Royal Highness the Prince has excellent writing, and loves literary affairs, and the life of the ancestors of the disdainful family in the "Magi Record" is written by His Royal Highness himself, and "Lime" and "Burrow" are even more famous in the world, but, as the saying goes, it is better to hear than to see, and today it is better to write a poem again, so as to be strong." A girl in red made her own mischievous voice.
"Yu Yan, don't be presumptuous." Cao Anbao scolded the girl, and apologized to Li Jiancheng:
"His Royal Highness the Prince, this daughter is Xiaomin's granddaughter, Cao Yuyan, she is sixteen years old this year, but she is rude by nature, and she is spoiled by Xiaomin, please forgive me, Yuyan, don't hurry up and see Your Highness."
"Grandpa!" The girl in red came to Cao Anbao's side regardless of it, took Cao Anbao's arm and said:
"Grandpa, you always say by Yu Yan's side, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is only eight buckets tall, and Yu Yan's ears can hear the cocoon, it is better to take advantage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be here today, and he is coming out with a new song, so as to confirm that what you said is true, grandpa." Cao Anbao has always mentioned Li Jiancheng's name in Cao Yuyan's ears recently, Cao Yuyan was originally an arrogant person, so she naturally looked at Li Jiancheng left and right unpleasantly, and Li Jiancheng was also secretly staring at this girl - this girl's face was like a peach blossom, white and red like a ripe peach, and those two thin lips were like red cherries that made Li Jiancheng look twice. The whole body is full of youthful breath. Cao Anbao looked at Cao Yuyan and Li Jiancheng, and the other Cao clansmen and Xiahou clansmen also looked at them.
"Your Highness, Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Ahh Great Patriarch, this palace has lost its temper for a while. Li Jiancheng smiled awkwardly.
"Humph! Big pervert! Cao Yuyan looked at Li Jiancheng with contempt, if Li Jiancheng was modest and prevaricated before, then now Li Jiancheng can't be excited.
"How is Dai Zongfu? Qi Lu Qingwei is gone. Creation Zhong Shenxiu, yin and yang cut dusk. Swing the chest to give birth to stratus clouds, and decide to return to the bird. It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance. After this poem was sung, the whole hall was amazed, and the atmosphere, magnificence, and all the praises that could be used in the world were recalled in the hearts of everyone. Cao Anbao stepped forward and asked Li Jiancheng:
"Your Highness, I don't know what the name of this poem is?" Li Jiancheng deliberately paused.
"Wangyue!" At night, in Cao Yuyan's bedroom, Cao Yuyan never slept, and there was the song "Wangyue" in front of her. recalled that Li Jiancheng was singing the words and smiles of this poem at that time, and smiled:
"Li Jiancheng, you will never escape from the palm of my hand." The emperors of all dynasties have sealed Zen in Mount Tai, in addition to Dashun, there are Qin Shi Huang Feng Chan, Han Wu Emperor Feng Chan, Han Guangwu Emperor Feng Chan, Tang Gaozong Feng Chan, Tang Xuanzong Feng Chan, Song Zhenzong Feng Chan.

At the top of the Dai line, the enthronement ceremony, and the stone praise. From the shadow of Mount Tai down the mountain, the Zen ceremony is in Liangfu Mountain.
