===================================================================== The ceremony of praying for rain in the Temple of Heaven is called the Pheasant Sacrifice, which is one of the three major ceremonies of the Temple of Heaven in the Qing Dynasty, and it is the so-called "to pray for a good year, climb the nine-fold mound, worship and wish the sky, echo each other, hear and answer each other, thousands of households, thousands of doors ring, weaving and cultivating ......". The pheasant sacrifice is divided into regular and irregular, the regular is the month of Mengxia every year, the divination date is held to the sacrifice, even if there is no drought, it is a regular ritual every year, the sacrifice to the gods of heaven and earth pray for the rain of the hundred gods, and the irregular is specifically due to the drought.

As the so-called major events of the country, only worship and Rong, the pheasant sacrifice as one of the three major ceremonies of the day, the etiquette is extremely grand and complicated, Zhenwu in the 27th of the hill to pray for rain of the edict, Taichang Temple, the Ministry of Rites, the infantry army to lead the yamen of a group of officials of all sizes immediately busy.

The Emperor's Worship of Heaven is a major event of the state, and all kinds of buildings and facilities in the Temple of Heaven must be overhauled, and all streets from the Forbidden City to the Temple of Heaven through which the Emperor passes must also be repaired to give them a new look. In addition, it is necessary to slaughter livestock, make sacrifices, and organize the sacrificial vessels of the sacred treasury, and the Hanlin Yuan has to write the blessing text on the blessing plate, but fortunately, there is no rain for a long time, and each department has already prepared, and it is not far from the previous sacrifice, so it is not difficult to prepare.

Naturally, Zhenwu can't ...... After sending away a group of ministers, he drove to the Temple of Heaven, reviewed the blessing version, went to the imperial dome to offer incense, went to the Shenku to see the beans, went to the Shenchu to see the animals, and went to the Yuanqiu Altar to see the gods.

The mound altar is specially used to worship the sky, the house is not built on the platform, and the sacrifice is made to the air, it is called the dew sacrifice, "the sacrifice to the sky is rich in furnishings, the rules are strict, each layer of the mound altar is equipped with a god seat, the top layer is the emperor God God tablet, and below is the sun, moon, stars and clouds, rain, wind and thunder tablets.

In front of the shrine, there are a large number of offerings such as jade, silk, whole cattle, whole sheep, whole pigs, wine, fruits, and dishes. The utensils that hold the sacrifices and the various ritual utensils used alone, there are more than 700 pieces, on the east and west sides of the south steps, there are 16 kinds of weaving pans, bells, binding bells, etc., and more than 60 pieces of musical instruments are composed of Zhonghe Shao music, which are arranged neatly, solemn and magnificent.

Zhenwu inspection is just for show, the rules are very complicated, how can he remember so much is just to respond to the occasion, indicating that he is the emperor attaches great importance to it, after pretending to be inspected, he returned to the Temple of Heaven Zhai Palace Fasting Palace furnishings can not be compared with the Qianqing Palace, but the victory is in the clean, and the time of residence is not long, he does not care.

After the inspection, Taichang Siqing and his subordinates had to conduct a thorough inspection, and on the eve of the festival, they arranged the tablets, offerings, and offerings of the gods, the music club was ready, and the band furnishings were finally fully inspected by the attendants of the Ministry of Rites.

Early in the morning of March 27, seven o'clock before sunrise, the palace rang the Taihe bell, and Zhenwu drove to the mound altar in the sound of the bell.

At this time, the southeast of the mound altar is a calf, the southwest hangs the sky lantern, the smoke is ethereal, the candle shadow is red, giving people a hazy and mysterious feeling, Zhenwu has a solemn face and a secret smile in his heart, in order to promote the divine right of the monarch, the kings of the past dynasties can be said to have tried their best.

From the southeast side of the Zhaoxiang Gate outside the service platform to change the sacrificial clothes after Zhenwu from the left door into the mound altar, to the middle platform to worship, the ceremony officially began, at this time the wood stove, the music played the beginning of the chapter "in the solemn peace is the music Zhenwu slowly walked to the upper level of the emperor God God in front of the main seat of the god to bow down, incense, and then to the ancestors and ancestors before the position of incense, bow. Returning to the throne and bowing three times and nine times to the gods, this is only the first step of the ceremony, welcoming the emperor and god. …,

Next, laying the jade silk, entering the ceremony, the first gift, the second gift, the end of the gift, the withdrawal, the emperor god, Wangliao, before and after more than an hour, the entire sacrificial ceremony was completed, Zhenwu can't remember how many times he knelt down, although the knee was padded with a cotton pad, he still felt that his knee was faintly numb.

Follow the sacrifice of a group of royal family relatives, princes and nobles, the court officials are not much stronger, Zhenwu bows, they also follow the bow, and all of them are sincerely afraid, frightened, in the sacrificial ceremony, at any time there are imperial history and Taichang temple officials to inspect, there are saliva, coughing, talking and laughing, noisy, all will be inscribed, and the punishment is very severe, if someone in the sacrifice of the time of the fart, that is at least the end of exile Ningguta, and even the fear of life.

After the sacrifice of the Temple of Heaven was completed, the good show of the vegetable market outside the Xuanwu Gate had just been staged.

The so-called red errand is because of the execution and murder of people because of the beheading, blood sprayed all over the ground, blood stained the loess, and because the executioner was dressed in a coarse linen and red head, his head was wrapped in a red head, and he held a ghost head knife in his arms, the knife was unsheathed, and the blade did not see the sky.

The entrance of the vegetable market in Beijing, the people in the capital are all known to everyone, because the entrance of the vegetable market is the execution ground of the murder of the Beijing division, and the red business trip at the entrance of the vegetable market can be described as a major attraction in the capital.

Not only do the people of Beijing love to watch the red mission, it is the same everywhere, I don't know when the delivery started, people like to enjoy this extremely cruel scene, watching other people's lives end in this extremely cruel way, as if it is a great enjoyment, after watching the execution, but also to the deceased to have a good taste.

The reason why the imperial court chose to carry out the execution at the entrance of the vegetable market, the traffic artery, was to show the public, and naturally the more people watched, the better the effect, therefore, the court has always had an encouraging attitude towards the onlookers, which contributed to the interest of the people in watching the punishment.

Traditionally, when the red business trip is to post a notice in advance, when the shop on the street at the entrance of the vegetable market has to put a piece of paper at the door, there are three bowls of liquor on it, and some also put a wine jug, the spout is facing outward, signaling the send-off, and the exquisite shop should also put a few bowls of steamed vegetables.

The prisoners who will be executed can be swaggered all the way through the city, they can not stop looking, they can not eat or drink, but they can not send people on the road to Huangquan without wine and food, according to the custom, the prisoner drinks and eats food at the door of the house, and the family will accumulate virtue and be rewarded, and the red silk should be hung in front of the door and the red pair should be pasted, just like doing a happy event.

The case of fraud in the warehouse has long been spread in Beijing, the court wants to kill eight corrupt officials who embezzle a huge amount of warehouse grain as soon as it is posted, it immediately sensationalizes the entire capital, the beige of the official warehouse is good or bad, the number is closely related to the people, therefore, for these corrupt officials in the warehouse, the people of Beijing can be said to hate it to the bone, the court killed eight corrupt officials in one fell swoop, and six of them are banner people, the people are naturally applauding, greatly relieved their hatred, and rushed to watch the execution.

The prisoner has not been escorted to the entire vegetable market has been squeezed out, the surrounding wine shops and teahouses are also overcrowded, the location of the "Tongjufu" restaurant is excellent, sitting by the window on the second floor facing the execution ground, the situation of the entire execution ground can be seen, of course, the price of the table by the window is also extremely expensive, only the seat price is ten taels of silver, but even so, the table by the window on the second floor is still full of people early.

Time has passed by a minute, and it is already three strokes in the day, but there is still no prisoner escorted to the people around the entrance of the vegetable market, and the people around the entrance of the vegetable market can't help but talk a lot, and the second floor of "Tongjufu" is also talking about it.

"Today, the emperor personally went to the Temple of Heaven to pray for rain, it stands to reason that on the day of this great sacrifice, the execution should not be carried out, will it be postponed, this is already three moments." …,

"Such a big event, how can the court be a child's play? The day of the sacrifice is not punished, that refers to the regular sacrifice, the pheasant sacrifice is to pray for rain, and the killing of these corrupt officials is also to pray for rain, how can it be postponed, it has not rained for two months. ”

"Hurry, this noon and three o'clock yang energy is the strongest, it is the best time to execute, isn't this still an hour away."

"Look at this day, I'm afraid today's sacrifice and prayer for rain will be in vain again."

"Heaven is impermanent, who can say clearly? Even if it wasn't for the rain, these corrupt officials should be killed. ”

"It's just a few small fish and shrimp, how much can it do? The monkey saw too much blood and didn't take it seriously at all. ”

"Look at what you said, who is not greedy in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty now? You can't kill all the court officials, can you? Zhen Wuye took the corrupt officials when he ascended the throne, even if he killed chickens and monkeys, this effect can be seen immediately, besides, I heard that many adults have been dismissed, demoted, and fined because of the case of fraud in the warehouse. ”

"This time it doesn't seem to be a joke, I haven't heard that of the eight corrupt officials killed this time, six of them are flag people?"

The second floor is full of rich masters, most of them are regular customers, and the shopkeeper is also on the second floor and everyone is polite, the more the audience talks, the more explicit is, the more busy they are, and they smile with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, wait and see the excitement with peace of mind, there are many people, don't talk about state affairs." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard a noise outside, everyone couldn't help but lift their spirits, the prisoners came, and they looked out, sure enough, a line of mule-drawn station cage torture car in the escort of two lines of officers and soldiers, all the way to the gong to open the way, this mule-drawn station cage torture car is to ask for money, you have to have money and identity to sit, no money and no identity, sorry, wear a flail and walk on foot, this is also the way of making money for the officials.

Seeing the cage torture car coming, the crowd immediately flashed to the side of the road early, blocking the road to eat whips, the eight prisoners were already full of wine and food in prison, but no one stopped asking for wine, however, the people hated these corrupt officials who exploited them, many people spit on the torture car, and when they saw that no one interfered, they naturally became emboldened, and countless people began to throw fruit peels, rotten vegetables, and rotten eggs, and the officials and soldiers of the criminal department who escorted them also suffered a lot of wrongs out of thin air.

After arriving at the execution ground, he looked up at the sun, and then went straight to the prison and beheading shed temporarily erected at the entrance of the Xihe Niantang store, it was still early at noon, and he was not in a hurry.

Sitting on the high position of the prison officer, he glanced at the eight new pens on the tin pen holder on the public case, these pens are his extra money for this prison beheading, a prisoner a pen, the hook point prisoner's red pen can suppress evil and exorcise demons, it is the treasure of the town, it is quite easy to sell, he took a sip of the hot tea sent up, he unconsciously glanced at the sun, this scene does not look like there is rain, he can't help but secretly scold Qin Tianjian is a group of rice buckets, I am afraid that someone is going to be unlucky.

Who knew that after only two quarters of an hour, the sun actually darkened, and Saltai was overjoyed, could it really be raining? He was busy out of the long shed, as soon as he got out of the long shed, a cool breeze blew, looked up, the sun has been covered by clouds, and then looked away, there was a black cloud in the sky moving quickly, he couldn't help but be shocked, and hurriedly asked, "What time is it?" ”

"Back to my lord, it's two o'clock in the afternoon." The subordinate officer immediately bowed and said.

Saltai couldn't help but groan slightly, the time of the beheading is very particular, the three o'clock in the afternoon and the noon beheading, although there is only one moment apart, the treatment is very different, the three o'clock in the afternoon is the most yang, the yin energy is immediately dissipated, at this time the beheading, the deceased is not even a ghost can do, it is a felogue or a heinous crime are chosen to be executed at three o'clock in the afternoon, and at noon, there is a chance to be a ghost reincarnated.

Most of the people who are beheaded in this prison are banner people, and they really want to start beheading at three o'clock in the afternoon, but they will offend a lot of people, but they are not allowed to execute the beheading when the rain is not sunny and the night is not clear, and when it rains, the execution of the beheading is generally suspended. In short, it will not be a good result. …,

Thinking of this, Saltai shouted in a deep voice: "Verify the body."

Prepare the hemp walnuts and don't give them a chance to speak. ”

Confirming that the correct body is the prelude to the execution, your subordinate officer couldn't help but hesitate slightly, but he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly turned around and ran to the execution table and shouted: "Verify the correct body!" ”

Long drought and looking forward to nectar, originally saw the change of the sky, the people are very happy, there are also many people who have discussed, the time has not come is not to open the cut, the rain is also not to be cut, today's scene, I am afraid that there is no excitement to see, however, they do not feel depressed, after all, the rain is stronger than anything, many people have begun to disperse one after another.

But I heard a voice "Verify the identity." "It's rumored that everyone is in good spirits and ready to be killed?

Seeing the change in the sky, the eight convicts originally thought that there was no endless road to the sky, but when they heard "verify the correct body." One by one, his face was as dead as ashes, and some of them were bold and wanted to open their mouths to complain, but they were stuffed with a hemp walnut in their mouths by the prepared officials, and they were speechless.

It's strange to say yes, just like that, the sun showed up again, and Saltai was also in good spirits, turned around and strode back to the public case, and hooked the name with a red pen.

A quarter of an hour is not long, but it is not short, Sal Taigao sat behind the public case, but his heart was a strong prayer, God opened his eyes, and waited for this group of corrupt officials to rain again, as if an hour had passed, and a report came as scheduled, "Your Excellency, three o'clock in the afternoon." ”

Saltai was in high spirits, and was about to throw down the token and give the order to be beheaded, but a subordinate behind him whispered: "My lord, the sun is blazing." ”

Hearing this, Saltai couldn't help but sink his heart, glanced at the shadow on the ground, and withdrew his hand, he was naturally more willing to offend people and deal with them smoothly.

Tiangong is beautiful, the sun has been shining, and it was hard to stay up until noon, Saltai immediately threw down the collar card, and said in a deep voice: "Execution!" ”
