So thousands of years later, a large number of Hanlin people in the Great Song Dynasty scratched their heads. But don't be afraid, there's hope. First, there were many books in the Song Dynasty at this time, and secondly, such as the Great Song Dynasty Hanlin Bachelor and the major academies could not handle such a configuration, who in the world could know it? Naturally, whatever I say is what it is...

First, make a list of what you need. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Guan Zhong said: There must be "the millet of the Shangshan, the grass of the north", "between the Jianghuai River, one grass and three ridges", "the flounder of the East China Sea, the winged bird of the West Sea", and the appearance of phoenixes, unicorns and other 15 kinds of rare birds and beasts, in order to seal the Zen. It is said that after Guan Zhong finished speaking, Qi Huan Gong became a little white again, and after being stupid like an authentic little idiot for a while, he shouted, "Yi Ya, serve food to the widow!" To hell with Feng Zen"

Now these things were excavated by the Hanlin of the Great Song Dynasty and handed over to Zhao Heng, I don't know what kind of face the Great Song Dynasty officials are, but it is estimated that it is not good, and the above non-human heritage is the most untouchable, leaving only "between the Jianghuai River, a grass and three ridges" and the others are ignored.

But on this one, what does the crazy "three-ridged grass" look like? Where is it produced? The ancient book only wrote "south", so the Great Song Dynasty Southern Mobilization, and finally at the end of April, under the guidance of Mr. Dong Hao in Yuezhou, the "three-ridged grass" was finally found, and the number was quite a lot: 30 plants.

Second, jade is needed to worship the heavens: jade and jade books

This is not difficult, China is a country of jade production. But it takes an extremely long time to carve jade, and even if it is urgently needed by the royal family, it is not possible to get it in three or five months. But a real miracle appeared, a royal jade worker named Zhao Rong reported to Zhao Heng: Your father, Emperor Taizong, had carved these things before. At that time, it took more than 1 year to make it, but it was useless, and it was stored in a certain warehouse.

As soon as Zhao Heng heard the joy, he immediately went to check, and the result was true. The high-quality and finely carved jade and jade books are lying quietly in the depths of the warehouse, as if they have been waiting for this day 24 years ago. The emperor held the jade in his hand and sighed with emotion, "The first emperor was really prescient", he may not know the Tao: His Majesty Zhao Guangyi, who pursued honor all his life, also thought about sealing Zen in 984. But then it was canceled ...

On May 3, Wang Qinruo played Mount Tai and suddenly gushed out a clear spring, and a dragon appeared on the tin mountain next to it.

On the 7th, the three prime ministers Wang Dan, Feng Zheng, and Zhao Anren were ordered to write jade and jade books.

On June 3, the Hanlin will draw up the Feng Zen ceremony played, the emperor personally instructed, the imperial pen made additions, deletions, and changes to 19 of them, and ordered the five envoys to consider the Feng Zen ceremony.

The emperor sent Sun Zheng to Liao to inform his good brother and Uncle Xiao that I was going to Shandong to "worship the sky", not the third royal expedition! AIA doesn't need to be surprised...

May 17th. Zhao Heng saw the immortal again in his dream. The gods told him that there would be a third letter from heaven. Sure enough, Wang Qinruo, who was supervising the work in Mount Tai, came to play: on June 5, on the grass north of Liquan Pavilion, a piece of yellow silk fell from the sky, and the first to see the third "Book of Heaven" was a carpenter named Dong Zuo, but he didn't know any of the words on it, so he reported it to Wang Juzheng, the envoy of the imperial city, and Wang Juzheng reported it to me. I don't dare to slack off, and I will send it to the palace immediately... I wonder if the alien post office has been busy lately. Anyway, Zhao Heng received secret letters from God one after another.

On the 21st, an amnesty was granted to Yanzhou criminals.

On August 17, slaughter was banned throughout the month of October. 21st. Wang Qinruo came to the dynasty and offered 8,000 sesame grass.

On September 3, he ordered former Prime Minister Xiang Minzhong to stay in Tokyo. On the 23rd, Zhao Anren presented five-color Jindan and Zizhi 8700. 28th. Zhao Heng personally rehearsed the ritual of sealing Zen in the Chongde Hall.

On October 4th, the mighty Fengchan Brigade walked out of Kaifeng. On the 20th, he came to Qianfeng County at the foot of Mount Tai. On the 21st, the emperor fasted in the Muqing Palace. Wang Qinruo offered 38,000 sesame grass. On the 22nd, the ministers played on the top of Mount Tai appeared on the five-colored auspicious clouds, the emperor and the close ministers ascended the pavilion to look at it, and named this pavilion Ruiyun Pavilion. A person named Zhu Xun first held the jade book and the jade to climb the mountain.

On October 23, 1008, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Heng ascended Mount Tai! A total of 24 people, including the emperor. Among them, there are 2 princes - Zhao Yuanwei, King of Ning, and Zhao Yuanyan, King of Shu. That is, it is rather comfortable, and the lip gloss is very good. plus top officials such as the "Five Great Gifts" and some eunuchs with heads and faces. And on the road from the foot of Mount Tai to the top of the Jade Emperor, the guards reached the level of "two steps and one person".

The emperor wore a crown of heaven and a silk robe, first sat on a special "golden chariot" to the mountain gate, and then changed to a boot robe, changed to a "step chariot" and continued to climb up, and when he was about to reach the top of the mountain, the emperor walked on his chariot.

24th Worship Heaven Ceremony. Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty Zhao Heng wore a gown, wore a crown on his head, and took the lead in laying the dedication, and Wang Dan, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, knelt down next to him to read the jade book and the jade text "God-given Emperor Taiyi Divine Policy, Cycle and Cycle, Yongsui Zhaoren" Of course, this is simplified, the original text of 3 "Jade Text", "Jade Ce Text" and "Jade Book Text" totaled more than 640 words, all of which are equivalent to taking an ancient literature class, and will make us admire Zhao Heng more. The top of Mount Tai in winter is very cold, even if his "crown of gowns" is specially thickened, I am afraid it is not so comfortable.

After that, Ning Wang Zhao Yuanwei Yaxian, Shu King Zhao Yuanyan final offering, three offerings into the gift, the most Lu after the jade book, jade into the gold box, jade box, and then with gold dust, frankincense and into the mud to seal the gold and jade double box, put into the stone letter that has been done in advance. So far, the gift of sacrificing to the sky is completed, the mountain and the mountain are shouting long live, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is independent of the mountaintop, there are no ancients before and after him, looking forward to self-pride.

On the 25th, Zhao Heng completed a complete set of processes similar to yesterday's sacrifice ceremony in Sheshou Mountain...

On the 26th, the amnesty of the world, the god of Mount Tai was named "the Holy Emperor of Tianqi Ren", and the goddess of Mount Tai was "the fairy and jade girl Bixia Yuanjun", and carved the "Thanksgiving Book of the Two Holy Merit Inscriptions" on the east side of the Tang Mo Cliff on the top of Mount Tai. Zhao Wang Dan wrote "Ode to the Altar of Worship", Wang Qinruo wrote "Ode to the Altar of the Society", and Chen Yaosu wrote "Ode to the Altar of Hajj", and each set up a monument under the mountain.

It is said that Dongfeng Taishan should be successfully ended at this point, but Zhao Heng doesn't think so - our tradition is the integration of heaven, earth and man. You say, "What's next?"

Everyone looked frightened and replied in a low voice: "Sacrifice hole...

On the 27th, the car set off from Fengfu County (renamed Qianfeng County) and headed for Qufu. On this day, the emperor issued an edict to resume regular meals, and he felt that it was really difficult for the courtiers to eat vegetarian for the past few days, but he didn't expect the privy deputy envoy Ma Zhijie to say a big truth: "Vegetarian food is only one person." We all eat meat in private," the emperor was dumbfounded...

On November 1, the emperor came to Confucius's hometown to worship in person, and added an official to the old man, "King Xuansheng Wenxuan", but it is estimated that Zhao Heng himself was very unhappy. Because Confucius's title of King Wenxuan has long been there, it does not reflect that the official family of the Great Song Dynasty has visited here. Zhao Heng originally intended to crown Confucius as the "emperor", but the Song Dynasty had too many knowledgeable masters, they said that Confucius considered himself a subject of the Zhou Dynasty all his life, and the highest in the Great Zhou Dynasty was the king such as King Wen of Zhou, King Wu of Zhou, and even Confucius's lifelong idol Ji Dan was just the Duke of Zhou, such as Confucius as the emperor, it was simply a great rebellion, a rebellion! So Zhao Heng could only add the word Xuansheng 2 in front of King Wenxuan. But later, the word "Xuan" was very particular, and it was the name of the ancestor of the Zhao family, and Zhao Heng had to change it to "the most holy Wenxuan King"... Clear, right? An important part of the complete title of the so-called "Dacheng Most Holy Ancestor Wenxuan King" was invented and supplemented by Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, heaven, earth and man are one. There are no regrets, on the 2nd, Zhao Heng ordered to drive back to the palace. On the 20th, he returned to Kaifeng. The third envoy, Ding Wei, respectfully welcomed the book of heaven back to the palace. Give hundreds of officials 3 days off, and 1 day off in the east and west governments. And the day of the first letter of heaven on January 3 is the day of the festival. In early December, at the suggestion of Chen Pengnian, Ding Wei and Li Zongge edited the "Feng Zen Ji"

On the 25th, the former prime minister Kou Zhun came to the Daimyo Mansion to serve as the Zhitian Xiongjun, and a Khitan envoy passed by and came to visit the prime minister of the Southern Dynasty, who was famous in the north. During the banquet, the envoy suddenly asked, "You are highly respected. Why don't you be the prime minister, come to this poor country" The audience was full of anger, this is a blatant mockery, specifically picking on Kou Zhun's scars! All eyes are on it. Kou Zhun smiled and said, "There is no major incident in the DPRK, only this northern gate must be guarded by me Kou Zhun to rest assured"

On the first day of the first month of the 2nd year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1009), the emperor summoned the auxiliary ministers to enter the inner hall to worship the Book of Heaven. Since then...

This month, the beauty Liu E was named Xiuyi, and the talented Yang was named Jieyu.

April 16 last year. The emperor once issued an edict to build the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace. I am grateful to the heavens for sending down the book from heaven, the sky has Zhao, and the Song Dynasty must respond, so I want to build this unprecedentedly gorgeous and extravagant big house. The site of the palace was set in the courtyard of the old inner hall outside the Tianbo Gate in the northwest of the imperial city. It is estimated that this palace is 310 steps long from east to west, 430 steps from north to south, with a total of 2610 districts, which is more than twice as large as the Shangqing Palace built by his father Zhao Guangyi. Lanzhou, Fenyin cypress; Tan, Heng, Dao, Yong, Dingji's cedar, pine, Tong, 楮; Wen, Taiwan, Qu, Wu Zhi Yu Zhang; Ming, Yue no pine cedar. Its stones include the bluestone of Zizheng, the jasper of Weizhou, the white stone of Laizhou, the porphyry of Jiangzhou, the strange stone of Wuyue, and the jade of Luoshui. Its colors include the silver pearl of the Holy Treasury, the dansha of Guizhou, the ochre of Henan, the vermilion soil of Quzhou, the stone lapis green of Zizhou, the dai of magnetic phase, the orpiment of Qin Steps, the garcinia cambogia of Guangzhou, the locust flower of Mengze, the lead dan of Yuzhou, the loess of Beizhou, the Hu powder of Henan, the chalk of Weizhou, the snail powder of Yunzhou, the ink of Yanze, the lacquer of Xuanxi, the Wangshi of Jiagu, and the iron of Laiwu Xingguo..."Even the soil for building the palace is particular, the soil of the original site is too inferior, Zhao Heng ordered to take soil from the north of the capital to pave the way. The thickness of the soil layer varies from 3 to 16 feet, which leaves a mystery in the history of architecture: at that time, the soil was transported by human and animal power on land. Or according to some historical records, a canal was temporarily dug from the north of Kaifeng City to the northwest, and the soil was transported by boat? There are no traces now, because according to legend, after the palace was built, the river was filled in again. But in any case, the light of the soil is already a jaw-dropping project... Nearly 30,000 or 40,000 people work on the site every day. As for the construction period, it was initially set at 14 years ...

14 years? Zhao Heng has been the emperor for 12 years, who dares to guarantee that he can be the emperor for another 14 years? So you have to speed up, and you have to find capable people.

On April 14, the first leader of the national finance department personally went out to take over this hot potato. Ding Wei Ding finally came to the fore and began his glorious career...

When Kou Zhun returned to the capital from Dengzhou to serve as the third envoy, he had a dispute with the holy minister Li Xin. Li Xin resolutely disagreed with the promotion of Ding Wei's official, but Kou Zhun said, "How can a talented person like Ding Wei be buried for a long time" In the sigh and prophecy of the Holy Minister, "Kou Zhun, you will regret it in the future", Kou Zhun pulled Ding Wei into his third division. Since then, Ding Wei has had a chance to really develop, and Kou Zhun's final doom has been buried... Ding Wei and Wang Qinruo, Lin Te, Chen Pengnian, and Liu Chengqi are known as the "Five Ghosts of the Zhenzong Dynasty"

At this time, Ding Wei took over the task of building this super palace that was "unprecedented since the opening", which made Zhao Heng's childhood partner Zhang Qi and Prime Minister Wang Dan feel inappropriate. This will be said to be used up by Ding to use up the entire treasury! The two of them were secretly advised, but the emperor did not listen...

On October 13th, the capital was working overtime, day and night to repair the Yuqing Zhaoying Palace, all parts of the country were not idle, Zhao Heng ordered all roads, states, and counties to build the "Tianqing Temple" to worship the "Sanqing Jade Emperor" to thank God for sending down the book from heaven... Originally, at the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Taoism could only shrink in a small area of Jiangxi and Jiannan, and since then Taoist statues have begun to spread all over the world of the Great Song Dynasty...

I don't know if it was the blessing of the emperor and the blessing of the Confucian saints, on December 11, the 57-year-old Empress Dowager Xiao Xiao, an outstanding female politician and military strategist in Liao history, died of illness. The 39-year-old Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu finally 'grew up' and began to govern himself...

A lover of both civil and military affairs, a dragon and phoenix among people, an obedient and filial, intelligent and sensible son, and an empire that has been cleaned up despite internal disabilities. The Great Liao was revived in her hands, and when she died, she laid the foundation for its long-term prosperity... Xiao Yanyan, do you have any regrets?

The Han people should have regrets. And I must explain (Mr. Wu Han has long pointed out) that the long-standing female generals of the Yang Sect among the Han people, those heroines She Taijun and Mu Guiying, actually do not exist among the Han people, and their prototype is the beautiful, intelligent, strong and ruthless Khitan Empress Dowager...

On the 12th, the Liao State sent envoys to report the funeral to the three countries of Song, Dangxiang, and Goryeo. On the 24th, Zhao Heng ordered the abolition of the dynasty and mourned on the 7th. On the 28th, Liao mourned Yelu Xinning, and the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty collectively mourned for this extraordinary woman...

In January of the 3rd year of Dazhong Xiangfu (1010), Kou Zhun in the Tianxiong Army had another accident - he paid his military salary privately. A group of Liao envoys returned to China, and as a rule, they were to be escorted by the Song army. Kou Zhun has always been generous, and he gave allowances to the escorted Song soldiers without asking for instructions. The problem is that you will send it, you are generous to the end! But Kou Zhun actually wrote to the emperor again, asking for reimbursement...

Zhao Heng is really hateful and annoyed at this moment, Kou Zhun, have you forgotten what Cao Bin was unlucky about back then? It's a good idea! Is it tolerable or unbearable, Zhao Heng's reaction was to sneer at the courtiers, "Kou Zhun is good at buying people's hearts and gaining a high reputation." You see, this matter is evidence" while replying to Kou Zhun with a note: You have money, you pay the bill, the court doesn't recognize it, pay it out of your own pocket!

In February, Li Zhizhong, the last monarch of the Li Dynasty of Annam, was cruel to the government, and the people did not attach him. The general Li Gongyun launched a mutiny, chased Li Zhizhong out of the city and killed him. Li Zhizhong's two younger brothers, Li Mingti and Li Mingchang, competed for the throne, and they were all killed by Li Gongyun. Li Gongyun claimed to be the queen and sent an envoy to pay tribute. On March 13, the Great Song Dynasty named Li Gongyun as the envoy of the Jing Navy and the king of Jiaozhi County. From there, Cochin in northern Vietnam began the 215-year reign of the Ly Dynasty...
