Chapter 137 Feng Zen Taishan

"Brother Yu, what are you doing in Shandong this time?" After Zhao Xin finished talking about his own affairs, he asked again, he hasn't seen him for a few years, and he is also very curious about Zhao Tong's affairs, he heard Zhao Tong say that he was in the Western Regions, but why did he come to Shandong now?

"Huh?" I saw that Zhao Tong hesitated for a moment at this time, but quickly spoke, "Originally, I shouldn't have told anyone about this matter, but since you are a member of the Imperial City Division, you must have heard about it, and that is the matter of Feng Chan." ”

"Feng Zen!" Zhao Xin heard this and couldn't help but be shocked, sealed as "sacrifice to the sky", Zen for the "sacrifice to the earth", the seal of Zen together is naturally to sacrifice heaven and earth, and the location of the seal of Zen is generally in Mount Tai, because the ancients believed that Mount Tai is the highest, and it is naturally the closest to God, so the emperor as the son of heaven wants to be recognized by God, he must go to Mount Tai to worship heaven and earth, so as to show the world that he is ordered by heaven.

Since Qin Shi Huang unified the world, and personally went to Mount Tai for a Feng Zen, thus determining his own imperial position, Feng Chan has become a grand ceremony for later emperors to flaunt their achievements, but Feng Chan is not any emperor can be held, according to Taishi Gong, at least need to meet the peace and prosperity or the sky auspicious two conditions of any one, and it is precisely because of this that the emperors who can seal Zen in history are almost all famous people, such as Qin Emperor Han Wu, Tang Gaozong, Tang Ming Emperor and others, Let's not talk about whether these emperors are all Ming monarchs, but at least they have a few political achievements.

However, among these emperors who sealed Zen, there was an outlier, that is, the third emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong, the emperor who believed in Buddhism and Taoism, did not have much merit at all, but he wanted to make up for the blow caused by his defeat of the Liao State through Feng Chan, so he directed and acted in a scam of the book from heaven. Then rushed to Mount Tai to seal the Zen, and the result was a good Zen into a farce, which also made the descendants of the Zhao family in later generations deeply ashamed, when Zhao Yan's father Zhao Shu destroyed the Western Xia, there was a minister who suggested that he seal the Zen in Mount Tai, but Zhao Shu thought of the farce of Song Zhenzong. I thought that the most powerful enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State, had not been destroyed, so I was embarrassed to agree.

After Zhao Shu's death, Zhao Ji ascended the throne, but unfortunately Zhao Ji was mistaken by the change, and as a result, he was busy changing the law when he was in power, and finally failed to succeed, and naturally there was no merit that could be sealed in Zen. However, in contrast, Zhao Xu was lucky, he sat on the deep foundation left by his grandfather and father, and soon ruled the Great Song Dynasty in an orderly manner. Before taking the opportunity to destroy the Liao State, some time ago and destroyed the last threat Jin State, coupled with the expansion in other directions, the territory of the Great Song Dynasty almost reached the limit, this kind of merit is not inferior to the Qin Emperor Han Wu in history, so it is logical to seal Zen, and this time Feng Zen can also save the face of the Zhao royal family in the last time when the Zen was sealed.

"I have heard of it, and it was brought up to him by my father on His Majesty's birthday this year. Said it was a gift to His Majesty, because as far as I know. Your Majesty doesn't really care much about Feng Chan, what he cares about is that he can run out and turn around through Feng Chan, and it's really embarrassing for His Majesty, obviously a few years younger than a few of us, but since he was a child, he has to be subject to all kinds of constraints and has no freedom at all, if I let me live His Majesty's kind of life. I'm afraid I'll have to go crazy in less than a year. Zhao Xin couldn't help but shake his head again and again when he said the end, he, like his eldest brother Zhao Jia, had a sympathetic attitude towards Zhao Xu, maybe in the eyes of others, Zhao Xu was the Ninety-Five Supreme, but in Zhao Xin's eyes. Zhao Xu is just a poor man who has lost his freedom.

"Although Your Majesty has lost his freedom, he has also gained the most noble position and the most powerful power in the world, which can be regarded as a gain and a loss." Zhao Tong said in a flurry tone at this time, and when he spoke, his eyes kept looking out the window, and the expression on his face was very blurry, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking now?

"Big brother, sealing Zen is not a trivial matter, I heard that the whole process is all in charge of the old scholars of the Ministry of Rites, why did you go to Mount Tai?" Zhao Xin once again showed a very interested expression and asked, Feng Chan has a complete set of etiquette, and he must follow the ancient etiquette, although Zhao Tong is Zhao Xu's eldest brother, it seems that it is difficult to meddle in something like Feng Chan.

"Haha~, I don't understand the extremely cumbersome etiquette of Feng Chan, but His Majesty must require 100% safety when he goes to Mount Tai, in addition to the accompanying guards, someone must go to Mount Tai in advance to mobilize the local army to cooperate, and in addition, the dangers that may occur around Mount Tai must be counted, so as to deal with it, this kind of thing must be handled by an absolutely reliable person, I just happened to have something to return to Beijing, and His Majesty handed over this matter to me." Zhao Tong laughed loudly, as if he was very proud that he could take on such an important task.

"I see, Brother Yu, you are Your Majesty's eldest brother, just like the eldest brother and me, so in Your Majesty's heart, you are naturally the person he trusts the most, and you have been in the army for two years, and you must be very familiar with military affairs, so it is naturally the most suitable for you to do this." Zhao Xin also showed a sudden expression when he heard this, Zhao Tong originally helped Zhao Xu to fight the front station, and the main task was to record some possible dangers, solve them if they can be solved, and notify the imperial court if they can't be solved.

Next, Zhao Xin asked about the specific matters of Feng Chan, although he had heard some before, but he didn't know it clearly, and Zhao Tong also answered one by one, until this time Zhao Xin didn't know that although Feng Chan had already been agreed by the court, but this matter was very important, and the preparations that needed to be made were also very cumbersome, so don't look at Zhao Tong is going to prepare near Mount Tai now, but in fact, there is at least more than a year before the real Feng Chan.

"Just preparing for it takes more than a year in advance, which can be compared to a national war!" Zhao Xin couldn't help but say to himself a little staggered when he heard this, when they attacked the Jin Kingdom before, the preparations they had made in advance were only more than a year, but now it takes so long to prepare for just one Zen seal, which shows the complexity and cumbersomeness of the Zen seal, but it can also be seen how much importance the Great Song Dynasty attaches to this Zen.
