Chapter 507: Sacrifice to the sky and retreat from the water

(Maopu Chinese) In ancient China, the worship of heaven was a very formal ceremonial activity, and it has a long history, it is said that it began with the Yellow Emperor, or the so-called "major affairs of the state, in the worship and Rong", and the sacrifice was even more important than the use of soldiers.

At present, Biandu has suffered from flooding, as long as the water can be receded, as long as the means that can be used, it will be used, including the plan to recede the water like sacrificing to the sky.

The civil and military officials knew that there were many heirs of the Huizong, but only the king of Yun and the prince went to the city gate to drop the imperial incense and retreat the water, which made people think about it infinitely, and they wanted to think about it, but no one dared to say anything on it.

However, the Biandu was flooded, and the matter was urgent, so it could not be done so meticulously, but Huizong Zhao Ji also informed the prince Zhao Huan and Yun Wang Zhao Kai to bathe and change clothes and fast.

Not only the low-lying places in Biandu City were flooded, but also the low-lying places outside the Nanxun Gate of Biandu were also flooded at this time, so that the flood surrounded Biandu City, and the houses of the people of Nanxunmen were washed down by the flood.

It seems that this kind of ceremony should include a number of rituals such as "choosing an auspicious day", "inquiring", "purifying livestock", "saving livestock", "performing rites", "fasting", "incense", "seeing the beans", "seeing the livestock", "saluting", "celebrating the success", etc., when the formal sacrifice is made, it is necessary to complete the nine steps of welcoming the gods, laying the jade silk, entering the ceremony, making the first offering, the sub-offering, the final offering, withdrawing the food, sending the emperor to the gods, and looking at the fire, etc., the process is lengthy, the etiquette is complicated, and it consumes great manpower and material resources. There is even a corresponding dance and music in the rituals.

Seeing the prince saluting on the city tower, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, took the opportunity to order someone to call Lotte to the front, and after Lotte had made a salute, Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, said: "Leqing, why does this king think that it is not reliable to rely on this festival to retreat water......"

Since Lotte returned to Beijing, he has never been to the mansion of King Zhao Kai of Yun, and King Yun has never summoned Lotte, the reason is that the prince of the Great Song Dynasty is not allowed to make friends with ministers, let alone interfere in politics, so Zhao Kai and Lotte have always maintained a distance, so as not to be used by people with ulterior motives or envoys to make a fuss.

"Le Qing is not happy with the king!" Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, shook his head, looked at Zhao Huan, the prince who worshiped the sky on the Nanxun Gate, and sighed: "The eldest brother is the prince of the country, and his status is respected. ”

"Le Qing, you don't have a happy king!" Zhao Kai shook his head and said.

The two of them look like old friends for many years, but everyone knows what the other is thinking.

Since knowing this inside story, Lotte has begun to pay attention to the Imperial City Division, and has to admit that in addition to the soldiers and horses of the Imperial City Division, those secret agents who are lurking in Biandu and all over the country are a force to be reckoned with, and Lotte knows what it means to keep this force in his own hands.

Prince Zhao Huan worshipped in Nanxun Gate for nearly an hour, and the water outside the city did not show the slightest sign of receding, and then Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, went to the city wall under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites, and then held the ceremony of retreating water and sacrificing to the sky.

When a quarter of an hour had passed, Lotte looked up at the sky and muttered, "It's almost time to enter the morning!" ”

Just as Lotte's voice fell, he didn't have a cup of tea, but he only heard a roaring sound like thunder in the direction of the Bianhe River in the north of the city, and even the sound was not inferior to thunder, which frightened the entire Biandu people.

Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, who was worshipping on all sides, was obviously stunned by the sudden loud noise, and after waking up, he continued to worship heaven and earth, and when a ritual procedure came down, he heard a soldier guarding the city pointing to the water outside the city and shouting: "The water has receded, the water has receded......"

You must know that after the rain that day, the water outside Biandu City was up to five or six zhang, making Biandu a lonely city in Zeguo.

But some people say that the prince is saying that he is sacrificing to the sky, and King Yun is just at the right time.

"How hard it has been for you!" In the front hall of Lotte's house, Lotte picked up a teacup and said to more than a dozen military men.

Another military man said with a thick Shaanxi and Gansu accent: "The people of Biandu all said that it was the prince and His Royal Highness the King of Yun who sacrificed to the sky, so that the flood in Biandu receded, where did they know that the person who really receded the water was Lord Le, and we are these reckless men in the army......"

Not only Mao Jiu, but also the shakuchi and others who went with him said the same.

Seeing Lotte's look, the nine people immediately accepted it.

In order to save trouble, Lotte asked Mao Jiu and others to blow up the Bianhe embankment with gunpowder, so there was the loud noise that King Yun had when he sacrificed to the sky.

If it weren't for Lotte blowing up the Bianhe embankment, even if Huizong Zhao Ji carried the ancestor Taizu Taizong buried in the tomb to Nanxunmen, this rare flood would not have receded.

However, when Lotte returned to the dynasty to restore his life, he heard Lin Lingsu playing the recital of the beggar bones.

I saw Lin Lingsu playing and Huizong Zhao Jiyun: The minister came at the beginning of the heavens, for His Majesty to go to the Yin Demon, break the demon, rejuvenate the gods, build treasures, worship the avenue, and praise the loyal and virtuous. Today, Cai Jing is the head of the ghost, let it be in power, although this ghost has gone, but there are many traitors in the middle of the court, and it is necessary to guard against it; Tong Guanguo's thief was guarded by soldiers. State affairs are not repaired, and luxury is too much.

Douxi one, most of the numbers cannot be escaped, how do you know that there is an expired calendar. The minister plans to say goodbye to Longyan for the time being, and there will be no more to look at the sky. Do not Bingwu and Ding Weijia's soldiers drive for a long time, bloody thousands of miles, and the two palaces of heaven and family cannot be conservative. Your Majesty didn't see Yuan Tiangang's poem "Pushing Back Pictures": The two dynasties of heaven smiled and led the ministers to cross Mengjin. It is naturally difficult to advance and retreat, and if you want to go, you don't have to worry about killing. Chen Lingsu was in pain, and the bones returned home.

The second half can be ignored for the time being, but the first half of Lin Lingsu's performance is worthy of respect and praise.
