Back in Chang'an, the first month of the sixth year of Yuande Ding Chou (the seventh day of the first month). Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The majestic bridge is solemn.

One after another, soldiers in black armor and red robes, heavily armed, stood on both sides of the truth.

They formed a long, large queue that stretched almost from Baqiao to Weiqiao.

There were 10,000 soldiers, standing solemnly with solemn faces, looking at the heroic corpses lying in the coffins and being carried back by the soldiers of the three armies.

The wife, who was dressed in filial piety and was completely plain, pulled her children and sobbed non-stop.

There was an atmosphere of sadness in the air.

The onlookers were also touched, and cries were heard in many places.

In this battle of Gaoque, the fathers and elders of Guanzhong sent their best and most outstanding sons to the battlefield.

These soldiers did not live up to the ardent expectations of the fathers and elders in Guanzhong, they faced the elite of the Huns three times their own, fought bravely, preferred to die rather than retreat, bravely killed the enemy, and achieved an unprecedented victory in the history of the Han Dynasty, and even in the history of China.

But the price is also heavy.

The Bashang Army and the Thorn Gate Army were crippled, and at least 3,000 Guanzhong disciples were buried forever in the plains of Heyin.

3,000 families have lost their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers.

The first coffin was carried by Zhidu and the generals of the Han army and walked down the Baqiao.

The coffin was covered with a black dragon flag, and a captain held a spirit card and walked ahead.

The Taichang official holding the spirit flag sang in a low voice the poem that guided the soul of the hero to return to his hometown Sangzi, which is Qu Zi's famous "Conjuring the Soul": "The soul returns, go to the king's Henggan; What is the Four Directions? The joy of the king! And the evil ...... is unknown."

The musicians of Shaofu also played the famous poems of the car and the Nanzhong.

The uplifting music, with a hint of tragedy and sorrow, is like crying.

Liu Che followed the music, stepped off the carriage, carried the sword of the Son of Heaven, walked to the corpse, and looked at the rows of god cards and coffins, as well as the ashes of the warriors loaded on the carriage and contained in enamel urns.

He walked forward slowly, walked to the coffin in front of the front, first looked at the Zhidu and the generals who carried the coffin, and then stared at the inscription on the god tablet in front of the coffin: Han Ba Shangjun Cavalry Captain Zhang Shi Wei Gong.

Liu Che was silent for a while, and then suddenly pulled out the symbol of the Son of Heaven, Emperor Gao slashed the white snake sword, pointed to the coffin, and said: "Zhang Wei, the commander of the Bashang Army, I ordered Er to be my minister forever, to be on duty and bow, forever and forever, and to my descendants, salty for eternity!" I am the Marquis of Bocheng! Destined for the city god of Maoling, enjoy the blood and food sacrifice of the future generations forever! ”

As he spoke, Liu Che's Sword of Heaven made a crisp sound with a slight touch on top of his coffin.

The god of the city god is a kind of priesthood in traditional Chinese religion.

In ancient times, he was known as the god of Shuiyong, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, he was already a righteous god and enjoyed incense sacrifices, but the city god at that time was more like a religious god than a guardian god.

Until, Chu and Han fought for hegemony, and the situation was changed.

In the early stage of the Chu and Han hegemony struggles, Xiang Yu hung Liu Bang to fight, especially in the battle of Pengcheng, Liu Bang lost almost everything, and almost lost his own life in Pengcheng.

Liu Bang survived thanks to two people.

One is Zheng's uncle and grandfather at that time, the Ding Gong who was on the periphery of Pengcheng and carried Liu Bang's hand in order to raise his own weight or other reasons.

And the other is Liu Bang's confidant General Ji Xin.

It was Ji Xin who disguised himself as Liu Bang and pretended to go out of the city to surrender, giving Liu Bang a precious chance to escape.

And Ji Xin's fate was very miserable......

He was burned alive by Xiang Yu......

Later, the Han dynasty was established, and Liu Bang missed Ji Xin, so he changed part of Ji Xin's hometown of Langzhong County to 'Anhan County', and renamed Ji Xin's son Ji Tong as the Marquis of Xiangping.

At the same time, in the Shanglin Garden, a temple was built for Ji Xin, and sacrifices were carried out on the eighth day of the second month of each year.

In the Taizong period, it has become a tradition because of the habit of sacrificing Ji Xin.

At the same time, Taizong missed his loyal ministers, so he enshrined Ji Xin as the first city god in history, forever guarding the palace and mountain mausoleum of Shanglin Yuan.

At this point, the priesthood of the city god began to be established after 2,000 years, and in the years that followed, it continued to expand to cities large and small all over the world.

By the time of the Ming Dynasty, there was almost no city without a city god and a city god temple, and there were gods such as judges, black and white impermanence, etc.

However, now, there is still only one Chenghuang God, Ji Xin, and the guardian is only Shanglin Yuan.

But who is Liu Che?

Emperor!

What is the Son of Heaven?

On behalf of the heavens, the son of the heavens, except for the heavens in the underworld, all the cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, immortals, demons, and ancestors must all be ordered by him, and all the demons, gods and ghosts that do not get his consent and canonization are all obscene, and they must be destroyed if they are discovered!

Naturally, he also had the power to ordain and canonize a god.

This is also the essential difference between the Chinese emperor and the Western king!

The emperors of China have been riding on the heads of the gods since ancient times.

Don't say what kind of pope it is, it's just an angel descending to earth, and when you see the emperor, you have to kneel down and obediently obey orders!

Except for God, any gods, demons, fairies and demons must kneel and lick the emperor.

Whoever dares to be crooked and disobey the emperor's will will be knocked down by the emperor in a minute, and the priesthood and even all sacrifices and dojos will be cut off in minutes!

This is one of the most valuable legacies left by ancient kings to future generations of China.

Since Emperor Yao, the heavens and the earth have been connected, it has been decided that China must be a secular country!

At this moment, Liu Che had Tianxian in his mouth, and with the sword of the Son of Heaven, he personally canonized Zhang Wei as the Marquis of Bocheng and the god of the city god.

Naturally, this order took effect immediately!

There is no need for God, angels, or the approval of the Holy See.

Immediately, there will be one more city god in this world.

Maoling City God Zhang Wei!

"Ministers are edicted!" The ministers naturally have no opinion on this kind of thing, Hugh said that it is a matter of sealing a city god, that is, setting up another emperor, the son of heaven of the Liu family has done it, there is nothing remarkable!

Liu Che continued to move forward and walked to the second coffin, which was the coffin of Wang Feng, the captain of the Thorn Gate Military Academy.

"I ordered the king of Erer to be the lord of Heyin Mountain, to reinstate Heyin forever, to enjoy blood and food forever, to the north of Heyin as 'Rong County', to seal the country of Er, and to take Erzi as the wait!" Liu Che was enthroned again.

The matter of sealing the gods is the prerogative of the emperor.

It's just that all along, the emperors of all dynasties have not been very good at taking advantage of this privilege.

Even Li Shimin only canonized two door gods, as for the Daojun Emperor of the Song Dynasty, there were quite a few gods, but he was addicted to feudal superstition!

But Liu Che knows that the right to be a god is one of the most valuable legacies left by his ancestors to future generations.

In ancient times, the ancestors walked out of the wilderness and lit the fire, when the surroundings were full of poisonous insects and beasts.

Countless heroes gave their lives to protect the people.

In order to commemorate these heroes, the ancestors deified them and sublimated them into gods.

Until now, most of the gods in China have come from this way.

And during the period of the Three Kings and Five Emperors, the Son of Heaven of China was both the emperor of men and the emperor of heaven!

This cultural influence, in three generations, has not subsided. 、

For example, Xia Zi has always called himself the sun god.

Shang Tianzi, who claims to be the descendant of Xuanniao, is the son of God.

Zhou Tianzi simply called himself the son of heaven.

Correspondingly, most of the gods are the embodiment of heroes who have contributed and sacrificed to the people and the people.

This is true from the land of the mountain gods to the heaven and earth of the gods.

For example, Liu Che once worshipped the Jieshan Mountain God Jie Zitui, which is a typical first human sage, and then a god.

Therefore, Liu Che knew very well that the ancestors and the ancestors left this right to future generations, not to let their children and grandchildren engage in feudal superstition and pursue immortality.

This is a powerful weapon left by our ancestors to future generations, to build their own era, to inspire the people, and to unite the people!

There are people in this world who don't love money, some don't love fame and fortune, and some don't love beauty.

But is there anyone who doesn't love to be a god?

What's more, Liu Che not only crowned these heroes as gods, but also made them liehous, so that their children and grandchildren could ascend the throne and enjoy wealth and nobility, so that their families could get the inheritance they fought for, and let their descendants enjoy blessings.

This is basically the same as poison and products, just let people smell it, I'm afraid it's hard to restrain themselves!

Sure enough, listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, the ministers and nobles kneeling on the ground, the people around and even the solemn soldiers, everyone could not help themselves!

For Chinese, the most important things and the things they care about the most are always two.

First, his posthumous name and posthumous treatment under Jiuquan.

Second, the development and future of the family.

These two things, even after another two thousand years, are still deeply rooted in the hearts of the Chinese.

And now, Liu Che has helped them solve these two things at one time.

Posthumous name and posthumous mourning?

Are you still worried about making you a god?

This is God!

It will not be eliminated for hundreds of years and thousands of years, and will always enjoy blood food and incense sacrifices, and will always be a god who will be remembered, sacrificed, and respected by future generations!

Moreover, the canonization of the Son of Heaven has always been a shortcut to becoming a god.

From ancient times to the present, because of the edict of the Son of Heaven, the gods who enjoy blood and food forever can almost form a strengthened camp!

Just to become a god after death, there will be countless people in this world, who will not die!

Not to mention, future generations can also enjoy their own blessings and become princes......

Moreover, today the Son of Heaven can crown the heroic spirit of this fallen soldier as a god.

So, in the future, will the Son of Heaven crown the minister as a god because he misses his loyal ministers?

If you think about it, with today's urine sex, it is quite possible!

In this way, the thoughts of the aristocratic ministers, scholars, doctors, the common people, and the soldiers were surprisingly unanimous: they must make meritorious contributions! And it's a military achievement!

For this, they are willing to pay any price!

Because, now, facts have proved that not only the army has its own Yan Ruyu, but also the army has its own golden house.

The army is a treasure trove full of godheads and priesthoods.

As long as you make meritorious deeds, why can't you mix up a god's name?

……………………………………

Liu Che continued to move forward, of course, several mountain god lands and Hebo rain masters were sealed in a row.

Although, the priesthood is getting smaller and smaller, and the title is getting lower and lower.

But it can't stop the burning heart of meritorious service in everyone's hearts at all!

Even, even Zhi Du was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Now, the captains who died in battle can be named the lord of Chenghuang Mountain.

Then, in the future, if he dies in battle or dies of illness, wouldn't the Son of Heaven want to take out a high-level priesthood like the Five Mountains and even the Eight Lords to reward and enthrone him?

Even if the Son of Heaven didn't think of it, he could remind him......

Anyway, as long as you lose the festival, the Son of Heaven is always embarrassed to refuse!

It's just a piece of paper, but you can achieve a certain sense of longevity with heaven and earth, the sun and the moon!

Even the Confucian ministers and doctors among the ministers could hardly contain the excitement in their hearts at this moment.

Although Confucianism says: the son is silent, strange and confused.

But Confucius himself said: The river does not come out, the phoenix does not come, and I am already a husband!

For Chinese scholars and aristocrats, being born as a hero and dying as a ghost and god is something they can never resist.

With the eyes of countless people, Liu Che walked to the urns that were carried by the carriage and neatly placed in the carriage.

For Liu Che, in fact, what he respects and moves more is these famous and unsung heroes.

Because their names will not be recorded in the history books, nor will they be solemnly commemorated by future generations, and thirty or fifty years later, even their families will forget them.

They will become dust buried under the loess and turn into spring mud.

However, they held up the backbone of the country and the nation, and used their flesh and blood to build a new Great Wall.

As the Emperor of the Celestial Empire said: Only the people, and only the people, can create history!

Emperors, generals, princes, and doctors are just parasites on the people.

Liu Che silently took the sword of the Son of Heaven, tapped it lightly on the body of one of the carriages, and said: "The monarch and others are all loyal ministers, and I am very happy, and their orders will always be my guards, and they will always stay in the tomb!" ”

Then, he withdrew the sword of the Son of Heaven and instructed Ji Di behind him: "Shang Shuling, I ordered Er to select loyal and brave people from among the fallen soldiers of Heyin and Gaoque, and record them as the subordinate officials and officials of the Chenghuang Mountain Lord, Hebo Yushi, and the officials of the Yin Division!" ”

"This matter, Qing and Zhi Jinwu, Prime Minister and Qu Zhouhou will handle it together, jointly select, screen, and then play it in front of me, and I will see it in person!"

"No!" Ji Di immediately kowtowed and said, "The minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

Zhi Du also immediately bowed slightly, and said eagerly: "The minister is also edicted!" ”

And Qu Zhouhou Liji, who was among the ministers, jumped up happily in his heart, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The ministers are respectfully edicted!" ”

As for Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, he is still in Taiyuan and is presiding over the aftermath.

But Prime Minister Changshi Fanxun immediately replaced Zhou Yafu and bowed: "The prime minister of the prime minister respectfully obeys the edict!" ”

This kind of thing is a great thing, not only to brush up the prestige, but also to shape the image, just like the popular charity fund in later generations, no one will refuse to participate.

On that day, this matter immediately roared like a storm throughout the pass.

After countless people heard about this, they were all excited and couldn't help themselves.

Even the families of those who fell in battle were excited and excited.

Being born as a hero and dying as a ghost and god can not only bless the descendants, but also bless the family!

Think about it, a ghost and god canonized by the Son of Heaven bless the family, why is the family worried? (To be continued.) )
