"Big brother, this is not in the court, in private, we are still called brothers!" Zhao Xu was also very happy to see Zhao Yan, speaking of which he and Zhao Yan have not seen each other for many years, the last time Zhao Tong was transferred to Mount Tai, it was also Zhao Yan who rushed directly to Mount Tai after receiving the order in the Western Regions, and did not meet Zhao Xu during the period.

"The courtesy of the monarch and the minister cannot be abolished, and the minister does not dare to trespass!" Zhao Tong was a one-eyed way at this time.

Seeing this, Zhao Xu couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Big brother, you are still the same, forget it, I won't persuade you, but the third brother will come in a while, let's sit together and have a few drinks!" ”

Zhao Xu understands the character of his eldest brother, since he was a child, Zhao Tong knows how to be polite than other children, and even more so when he grows up, the etiquette of receiving people and treating things is very thoughtful, although this is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, because this kind of Zhao Yan is really not close to people, he is not as good as Zhao Jun, usually when Zhao Jun sees Zhao Xu, as long as no one is a brother.

When he was talking, Zhao Jun also walked in from the outside at this time, and when he saw Zhao Tong, he immediately smiled and saluted, this time Zhao Yan showed some enthusiasm, probably because Zhao Jun is not the emperor, there is no status gap between them, which makes Zhao Xu next to him sigh secretly when he sees it, except for a few people, most of the people around him have kept a distance from him intentionally or unintentionally because of the identity gap, which is also the main reason why he usually feels lonely.

Zhao Jun is one of the few people who doesn't care about Zhao Xu's identity, and he is a delicate person, and he can guess his thoughts when he sees Zhao Xu's appearance, so while talking to Zhao Xu, he didn't forget to pull Zhao Xu in, which made the atmosphere between the three brothers slowly warm, especially when Zhao Xu took the initiative to talk about some interesting things when he was a child. Unconsciously approached the distance between the three of them.

In the next few days, Zhao Xu took advantage of the fact that the ceremony had not yet begun, and specially went around at the foot of Mount Tai, such as the famous Dai Temple, which is commonly known as Dongyue Temple, which was built in the Han Dynasty. By the time of the Tang Dynasty, a large number of buildings had been formed, and after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu's ancestor Zhao Kuangyin also sent someone to rebuild the Dongyue Temple, and later the Song Zhenzong who went to Mount Tai to seal the Zen also built a Tianzhen Temple in the Dongyue Temple, and also named the god of Mount Tai as the "King of Benevolent Tianqi", especially after the Song Zhenzong sealed the Zen, and let people carve a stone tablet in the Dongyue Temple, which reads the inscription of the Great Song Dynasty Dongyue Tianqi Ren Shengdi Inscription, in fact, it is to record his deeds in Mount Tai. In order to be remembered by future generations, but because his canonization of Zen is just a farce, this tablet can only make Song Zhenzong a laughing stock for future generations.

Counting Song Zhenzong is Zhao Xu's great-grandfather, Zhao Xu also feels very helpless about his unreliable great-grandfather, and things have already happened, and he can't change the historical facts, what is even more unlucky. When he faced the inscription left by Song Zhenzong in the Dai Temple, he had to go to worship in person. In order to show his great-grandson's respect for his great-grandfather, but God knows if he scolded his great-grandfather in his heart when he worshipped?

After a period of preparation, the ceremony was finally held as scheduled, and the whole ceremony was mainly divided into two parts, one is to worship the sky, and the other is to sacrifice to the ground. The two together are called Feng Chan, but there are some differences in the order of the two, because when Qin Shi Huang sealed Zen, he first sacrificed to the sky and then to the earth, while Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty first sacrificed to the earth and then to the sky. The two are reversed.

Zhao Xu was influenced by Zhao Yan and had a very clear understanding of Qin Shi Huang, and he also admired Qin Shi Huang's martial arts very much, so from his personal wishes, he hoped that he could follow Qin Shi Huang's set of etiquette, but considering Qin Shi Huang's bad reputation in history, especially Confucianism's hatred of him, although with the spread of scientific knowledge, the influence of Confucianism has declined, but it still occupies the mainstream position, so Zhao Xu considered the above, and finally chose to follow the etiquette of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this, when the ceremony began, Zhao Xu first came to the Liangfu Mountain next to Mount Tai, this hill is not more than a hundred zhang high, it is the location of the Qin Emperor Han Wu sacrifice place, the mountain has been arranged with a five-color soil altar, and slaughtered white yaks, white deer, pigs and other sacrifices on the spot, there is a huge band around to play music, Zhao Xu carried out the sacrifice in the grand music.

After the end of the sacrifice, Zhao Xu took the ministers to the foot of Mount Tai, at this time a sacrifice platform was also arranged at the foot of the mountain, Zhao Xu first carried out the first sacrifice here, and then led a few important noble ministers to climb Mount Tai on foot, and held the second sacrifice at the top of Mount Tai.

By the end of this sacrifice, the sun in the west is about to set, although the mountain of Mount Tai is not as steep as Mount Hua, but it is not suitable for going down the mountain overnight, so Zhao Xu and they will rest on the mountain for one night that night, which is also specially arranged by Zhao Xu, because in this way, they can enjoy the sunset of Mount Tai, and they can also enjoy the sea of clouds and sunrise of Mount Tai the next morning, which is the most famous landscape of Mount Tai, absolutely not to be missed.

As the sun sets, Zhao Xu stands on the top of Mount Tai and looks down at the sunset, only to see the remnant clouds in the sky dyed by the sunset and the golden edges, just like the mountains piled up together, occasionally a few rays of sunlight penetrate the clouds and sprinkle the earth, which looks spectacular, and makes people's minds open up all of a sudden.

"It's a good sunset, I used to only see some descriptions from books, but it wasn't until today that I realized that the thousands of words in the books are difficult to compare with the beautiful scenery in front of me!" Zhao Xu looked at the sunset in the distance with his eyes intoxicated and muttered to himself.

"The sunset is infinitely good, but it's just near dusk, and I'm still looking forward to the sunrise and the sea of clouds tomorrow morning!" At this moment, Zhao Yan, who was standing next to Zhao Xu, suddenly spoke, but when he was speaking, his eyes were half-squinted, and the expression on his face was very blurred, so that people couldn't guess what he was thinking in his heart?

"Hehe, my eldest brother is a soldier, so I naturally prefer a vibrant morning, but I think that although the scenery is moving, it also depends on who you enjoy it with? For example, it is rare for the three of us brothers to get together and enjoy the beautiful scenery together, and many years later, when we recall the situation today, it must be a beautiful thing! Zhao Jun smiled at this time, and at the end, he glanced at Zhao Tong with a smile, but there was a bit of meaning in his eyes that was difficult for ordinary people to understand.
