Chapter 1226: Sealing Zen
When Li Xiu was about to enter the house, he suddenly received the news that Li Shimin had summoned him to the palace, which made him stunned, because since he resigned, this was the first time that Li Shimin took the initiative to summon him into the palace, and then he also showed a worried expression, because if it wasn't for something particularly important, I'm afraid Li Shimin would not have summoned him to the palace.
Li Xiu quickly thought of Hou Junji's matter, could it be that Li Shimin saw that he was just to discuss how to deal with Hou Junji? However, Li Xiu felt that it was wrong, because although Hou Junji's matter was troublesome, Li Shimin didn't need to ask his opinion at all, after all, the eldest grandson Wuji or Fang Xuanling and others were more suitable to discuss this matter than himself.
But if it weren't for Hou Junji's matter, Li Xiu couldn't think of anything else, it was worth Li Shimin to call himself into the palace in such a hurry, but now there was no time for Li Xiu to figure out this matter, and as long as he entered the palace, he would naturally understand, so Li Xiu had to get into the carriage again, and then turn the horse's head and rush to the palace.
The carriage passed through the bustling Suzaku Street, entered the palace gate and entered the palace, and finally Li Xiu came to the outside of the Liangyi Palace, and found that there were no other people here, and then he did not let the inner servant guide him, and he entered the main hall, and the result was unexpected, not only Li Shimin was here, but the eldest grandson Wuji was also here.
"Li Xiu, you're finally here, come and take a look at this recital!" When Li Shimin saw Li Xiu coming in, he also beckoned to him with a happy face, which made Li Xiu stunned, because looking at Li Shimin's expression, he should have encountered something happy, so he didn't call himself to discuss how to deal with Hou Junji.
Thinking of this, Li Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, after all, it is very troublesome to deal with Hou Junji, according to the law, Hou Junji committed a capital crime, but Hou Junji also made great achievements for the Tang Dynasty, and he is Li Shimin's favorite general, so I am afraid that Li Shimin is not willing to kill him, so I am afraid that this matter will only go back and forth in the end, and in the end it depends on Li Shimin's own decision.
"Looking at Your Majesty, it must be a good thing!" Li Xiu said with a smile at the moment, and took a few steps forward after speaking, and at this time, the eldest grandson Wuji also handed Li Xiu a piece of the fold in his hand, and it seemed that it was because of this fold that Li Shimin was so happy.
Li Xiu was also very curious at this time, and immediately opened the fold and read it, only to know that this fold was sent by the Qingzhou Thorn History, Qingzhou was in Shandong in later generations, and the world-famous Mount Tai was also in Qingzhou, and this fold was reported to the court a matter related to Mount Tai.
According to the fold, in April of this year, the top of Mount Tai suddenly appeared colorful auspicious clouds, can be described as a great auspicious rui, because according to the local county records of Mount Tai, when the Qin Emperor Han Wu went to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, the same colorful auspicious clouds appeared on the top of the mountain, so the history of Qingzhou thorn only wrote to the imperial court, imploring Li Shimin to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen!
The so-called Feng Zen, Feng as "sacrifice to the sky", Zen as "sacrifice to the earth", in fact, refers to the emperor to the heaven and earth to report his merits, is the highest ceremony of a king, and after the success of the Zen, it also represents the heaven and earth to accept the emperor, from the governance point of view, the emperor also from this time, on behalf of the world to govern the world.
It is said that the ritual of sealing Zen has begun as early as ancient times, Wuhuai, Fuxi, Shennong, Emperor Yan, Yellow Emperor, Zhuan, Emperor Yu, Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang and other emperors have all gone to Mount Tai to seal Zen, and after the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Shi Huang, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu and other famous emperors have also gone to Mount Tai to seal Zen.
However, after Li Xiu finished reading the recital in his hand, he couldn't help but feel like he wanted to cry and laugh, because he felt that this Qingzhou Thorn History obviously wanted to shoot Li Shimin's sycophants, as for the colorful auspicious clouds on Mount Tai, it was even more nonsense, after all, the sea of clouds on Mount Tai was very famous, and although it was not common to emit colorful light under the morning light, it had nothing to do with auspiciousness.
"Li Xiu, what do you think, if I propose to seal the Zen, how will the ministers of the court react?" Before Li Xiu could speak, he saw Li Shimin ask first, and when he spoke, his face showed a very rare expression of anxiety.
There are two necessary conditions for sealing Zen, either it is a peaceful and prosperous era, or there is auspiciousness in the world, and with Li Shimin's current merits, it is absolutely not bad for Qin Emperor Han Wu and others, they can seal Zen Taishan, and Li Shimin can naturally do it.
However, compared with the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, Li Shimin has a congenital defect, that is, he is not in the right position, and even bears the notoriety of killing his brother and imprisoning his father, but it is precisely because of this stain that cannot be washed away, but Li Shimin has worked extra hard, which has created a chastity of governance, and now the prosperous era has been completed, and the people of the world all praise Li Shimin's merits, but Li Shimin is still a little unconfident, worried that when he proposes to seal Zen, he will lead to the opposition of others because of the stain on his body.
Li Xiu, as the closest minister to Li Shimin, naturally knew his concerns, and it was precisely for this reason that Li Shimin did not tell anyone after receiving this recital, but first brought the most trusted Li Xiu and the eldest grandson Wuji to ask their views on this matter.
"Your Majesty's civil and martial arts, looking at the history books, only a few emperors such as Emperor Qin and Han Wu can compare, they can go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, Your Majesty can naturally go, I think the civil and military officials in the court will definitely be very supportive!" I saw Li Xiu pondering for a while, and then said to Li Shimin with a smile.
Feng Zen is not superstition, but a solemn ritual, representing a contract between man and heaven and earth, and Li Shimin has indeed paid a lot for the world, which is also in the eyes of Li Xiu, so Li Xiu feels that Feng Chan Taishan is also a reward that Li Shimin deserves.
"Really? Do you really think the officials will support it? Li Shimin couldn't help but be more excited when he heard Li Xiu's answer.
"Haha~, Your Majesty doesn't have to doubt it anymore, Li Xiu and I have the same opinion, if Your Majesty announces that you will go to Mount Tai to hold a Zen seal, no one will object to the civil and military officials!" At this moment, I saw that the eldest grandson Wuji also smiled and said, in fact, he had already persuaded Li Shimin just now not to worry about the opposition of the officials, but Li Shimin had to listen to Li Xiu's opinion, so he hurriedly summoned Li Xiu.
Hearing the words of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Xiu also nodded affirmatively again, but at this moment, he suddenly frowned, because he suddenly thought of one thing, before sealing Zen, he must remind Li Shimin!
