Chapter 669: Feng Zen (II)

The ceremony of sealing the Zen has officially begun. Heavenly sound.' ⒉

At this time, the entire ceremony was still calm and abnormal, and there was no appearance of chaos at all, but under this calm appearance, many things were already being prepared.

Emperor Zhao Kangzheng would stay outside the city for a day and a night, and would not return until the next morning, and in the evening there would be a grand bonfire outside the Temple of Heaven, and the people of the Rite and Music Division would have prepared the performances, and in the afternoon, these people would be sent out of the city and prepared in the venue.

As for the ritual of sacrificing to the sky, it is a continuation of the feudal ritual of sacrificing to the sky, and Ji Ning, as a post-modern person, is not interested in this kind of ritual.

After the ceremony began, Ma Heng, a university scholar sent by the Confucian Temple, walked over to the altar first, and what he held in his hand was a large seal of the sacrificial text, which was written by Ma Heng himself, when Ma Heng walked up to the altar with the sacrificial text, the people present actually wanted to see how this sacrificial text was written, and then see what kind of text the sacrificial text could have.

"The ability of a university scholar should be very high." Xu Jiangming, who was next to Ji Ning, said with emotion, "I guess it's either a purple tone or a blue tone!" ”

The rest of the people also speculated, but the sound was so small under the beat of the drums that no one would notice.

Ji Ning didn't care about Ma Heng's attainments in literary style, he had been observing the movements of King Hui and King Chong's faction, from now on, King Chong, King Hui and Uncle Li Guo did not reflect the limit of rebellion at all, Ji Ning thought to himself: "If the emperor can know that these three people are rebelling now, and immediately send troops to arrest and kill the three of them, why would he fall into danger himself?" ”

Soon, the drumming stopped, the scene was very quiet, and when the ceremony officially began, the Temple of Literature first read the sacrifice.

Ma Heng went to the altar first and began to read his sacrifice.

Because of the long distance, when they arrived at the phalanx of Jinshi, they basically couldn't hear the content of the sacrificial text, and all the Jinshi could only judge the quality of this sacrificial text from the color of the Maheng sacrificial text.

But to those in front of them, the content of the sacrificial text is quite clear, and to them, this sacrificial text is gorgeous, and it makes very sincere wishes for the foundation of the Great Yong Dynasty.

There was no accident, Ma Heng exuded from the reading of this sacrificial text, and the aura exuded was close to blue-red, which was not far from the highest yellow ritual text.

Among the sacrifices of the Great Seal, Ma Heng's sacrifice is also very good, but seeing that there was a blue-red light on the altar rising to the sky, many officials and jinshi present were amazed, observing the scene in front of them.

There was only one person present who had no worship for this sacrifice, and that was Ji Ning.

At the beginning, Ji Ning didn't hear the content of the sacrificial text too clearly, but then the wind direction changed, and there were more than 20 people from the Confucian Temple present, shouting out the content of the sacrificial text together, so that everyone present could hear it clearly, Ji Ning wanted to learn something from this sacrificial text, but when he heard the content of the sacrificial text, he knew that this sacrificial text was originally written by himself.

At that time, the black market set a proposition for him, this was one of the propositions, he wrote two sacrificial texts under this proposition, and this one was considered to be not very good in the two articles, and the price given to him by the black market at that time was 6,000 taels of silver, and the other one that was better written was given 9,000 taels of silver.

After these two sacrificial texts were sold by him at that time, he didn't plan to write about the country, sacrifices, and so on in a short period of time, but now they will actually be taken by Ma Heng to the Zen Ceremony to read them, which somewhat surprised Ji Ning.

"What's going on?" Ji Ning thought to himself, "My sacrificial text was taken here by the people of the Temple of Literature to read it, could it be such a coincidence that the people of the Temple of Literature actually wrote the same content as me?" I'm not copying anyone's sacrificial text, but this sacrificial text is my own creation, there is only one explanation, this sacrificial text is very likely to be customized by the Temple of Literature to the black market, why don't the people of the Temple of Literature write their own sacrificial texts to worship the sky? ”

Just when Ji Ning couldn't figure it out, Ma Heng's sacrificial text was finally read out.

A total of about 500 words of sacrificial texts, so that the atmosphere of the present is full, most of the present are from Jinshi, and you can feel this kind of literary atmosphere, which is also the essence of the reader.

When Ma Heng came down from the altar, he bowed his hand to Zhao Kangzheng, Zhao Kangzheng waved his hand and said: "The Qing family doesn't have to be polite, come and reward the Temple of Literature with 3,000 taels of gold, 20,000 taels of silver, 3,000 horses of silk cloth, and 10,000 catties of tea!" ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Ma Heng took the people of the Temple of Literature to salute and thank.

Soon, someone carried the reward to the altar, the reward was all given now, there was no procrastination, and Ma Heng would even go up to inspect the emperor's reward in person.

The people present were all envious, writing a sacrificial text to get so many rewards, they didn't have the ability to ask themselves.

Ji Ning thought to himself: "I spent six thousand taels of silver to buy my sacrificial text, and the three thousand taels of gold alone are close to the reward of 100,000 taels of silver, plus others, the value is basically about 150,000 taels, this is just a reward for the Temple of Literature, and it is no wonder that the people of the Temple of Literature don't want to spend their time writing the sacrificial text." ”

As the people of the Temple of Literature went down, it was the emperor who led the Chinese military officials to worship the heavens.

Someone in the Jinshi sighed: "The Confucian Temple used the sacrificial text of the big seal, which is still close to the sacrificial text of the red culture, and it is expected that the imperial court should have come up with the sacrificial text of the red and above the text!" ”

"You think about it too much, there have been very few red sacrifices in recent years, let alone more red sacrifices!" Someone next to him retorted, "It's good to be able to take out a blue and red sacrificial text, such a sacrificial text rarely appears, even if a university scholar writes it, it may not be able to write it!" ”

At this moment, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu stepped forward, he wanted to read the sacrificial text on behalf of the emperor, and the sacrificial text he held in his hand was the sacrificial text to be used by the court for this Zen ceremony.

"Called upon, heaven and earth thought that the aura was ......"

This sacrificial text was read from the beginning, and Ji Ning was relieved.

Before, he was still wondering why his two sacrificial texts were selected by the Temple of Literature and one was not very good, and he was thinking about the whereabouts of the other sacrificial text, but now he has the answer, it turns out that another sacrificial text about the national sacrifice is used here.

When Ji Ning's two own sacrificial texts were used by the Temple of Literature and the imperial court respectively, he didn't have much honor in his heart, but felt very awkward.

He thought to himself: "What's wrong with the imperial court and the Temple of Literature?" Isn't there even a person who writes the Great Seal Sacrifice Text? Need to order sacrifices from the black market, and buy and sell them in this way? If I don't write these two memorial texts, then the imperial court and the Temple of Literature will not be used? ”

Ji Ning was thinking about things, and the sacrificial text on the platform was finally read out, and this time it was the emperor's turn to go up and deliver a speech, and the ceremony of sealing Zen also ushered in the most solemn moment.
