From this day on, the emperor became a little trance-like. I often walk and think alone, and from time to time I go to the secret pavilion to read ancient books. Until one night, he happened to meet Du Hao, a straight scholar of the Secret Pavilion, who was recognized as a learned and upright Confucian, "'The river is out of the picture, and the Luo is out of the book' is really something"

Du Ho didn't know why, but he saw the emperor's distressed expression. So he said, "False." It was the ancient saints who used these strange things to make the people believe in them in order to educate the world."

The Emperor's face instantly brightened, and it was clear that a problem had been solved. That night, Du Hao saw Zhao Heng leave, but he couldn't have imagined that the Great Song Empire would fall into complete madness and confusion from now on! Part of the reason for this is because of the truth he just said... This damn honesty!

Honest? Fraud? Which is more beneficial to the world?

The emperor wants to pretend to be auspicious and seal the world, and he wants him to cooperate with the fraud... Will Wang Dan agree or not? Which is more important, the interests of the state, the king's preferences, or the honor of the individual? What is the trade-off?

Unexpectedly, the emperor didn't mention anything about "auspiciousness" and "sealing Zen" to him, but actually invited him to drink. Before leaving, the emperor also asked people to fetch a bottle of fine wine, handed it to him with his own hands, and said meaningfully, "This wine tastes very good." Take it home and enjoy it with your wife and children" When he got home, he realized that it was not wine at all, but a bottle full of pearls... The emperor's words sounded in his ears, "Enjoy with his wife and children" is a promise and a threat, and the family's wealth or fall from grace is just a thought.

But another voice traveled through time and space to ring in his ears. First of all, Wang Dan himself lamented: "When will the world be peaceful?" At that time, the wars with the Khitan and the party were continuous, which made the prime minister's privy councillors anxious. But the voice smiled and said, "It's not bad to be a little troublesome." If you are too peaceful, you will slack off. In the future, there will be no war, and you will miss this time. Because there will be other chaos in the imperial court, "It's Li Xin!" After saying this, Li Xin began to intensify his efforts to report disasters, bandits, chaos and other things in various places, which made Zhao Heng panic all day long. Wang Dan remembered that he himself had objected, but Li Xin said the biggest prophecy in the "Quotations of the Holy Minister": "The emperor is in his prime, and he should be allowed to understand the troubles of governing the country." Otherwise, he was either fascinated by the sound of dogs and horses, or he wanted to build a palace or raise swords or worship the Buddha. I'm old. I'm afraid I can't see that. But be careful, it will happen to you in the future."

Sure enough, it was said by the Holy Minister! These sparkling and warm pearls shine in the candlelight, Wang Dan doesn't want it from the bottom of his heart, but does he dare? Will he be able to tolerate going against the will of the supreme emperor?

But he also clearly remembered that Li Xin had also faced his current situation. It was Zhao Heng's decision to make Liu E a concubine, and the reaction of the holy minister was to burn the edict written by the emperor himself in front of the envoy. Let the envoy bring a message to the emperor, "Just say that Li Xin disagrees with this matter", so this matter was really vetoed by the holy minister, and the emperor did not have a temper afterwards...

also rushed to graduate together, the gap between people is so big! That night, no matter how Wang Dan tossed and turned, he couldn't sleep. How to mourn your own honor. After dawn, he would walk into the central place of the Great Song Dynasty in good clothes to cooperate with all the emperor's decisions... However, what he didn't know was that he was not the only one who was entertained by the emperor. That night, many governors of the Eastern and Western Prefectures of the Great Song Dynasty were having fun with you, but none of them had a sad face like him...

Legend has it that that night, the privy envoy Chen Yaosuo was on duty in the Privy Council, when he was suddenly taken into the depths of the emperor by the inner attendants, and stopped in front of a small hall after twisting and twisting. When I went in, there were many old acquaintances: Ding Wei, the third envoy, Lao Hanlin Du Hao... After a while, Emperor Zhao Heng also came. A true joy for kings and ministers. After drinking, each person gets a big bag of pearls...

On January 3, 1008, the historic moment finally arrived! Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng urgently canceled his annual leave and summoned the main officials of the Eastern and Western Prefectures in the west hall of the Chongzheng Palace, "Aiqing, do you know how the dormitory of Lu Dao I is arranged?"

What the? The emperor wants to expose himself to gossip? Everyone present listened very reverently, "The walls of my dormitory are covered with blue curtains. If you don't have the lights on in the morning and at night, you won't see anything. But in the middle of the night on November 27 last year, I had just gone to bed, and suddenly the whole room was bright. I was surprised. Suddenly, an immortal appeared, wearing a star-crowned robe, and said to me, 'You are going to build a Yellow Seal Dojo in the main hall for 1 month. God will give you 3 articles of "Dazhong Lucky Talisman", do not reveal the heavenly machine, and I will rise in horror to welcome the gods. But the gods suddenly disappeared. I immediately took notes and gave the immortal's command. On December 1st, he began to eat vegetarian fasting, built a dojo in the Chaoyuan Palace, knotted a 9-level color altar, carved a car with good fragrant wood, decorated with gold treasure, and waited for the reward of the gods. Now that the one-month period has passed, but I still don't dare to withdraw" Then the emperor suddenly gave a huge surprise to the courtiers" Just now, the Imperial City Division reported that there was a piece of yellow silk hanging on the kiss of the owl in the south corner of the gate tower of Zuo Chengtianmen, and I was shocked and uncertain, and quietly sent someone to inspect it. As a result, the echo said, 'The yellow silk is about 2 zhang long, and there is something like a picture scroll tied to it. There are still 3 green ropes wrapped around the outside, and there are vague words in the seal, 'I think about it carefully, this is the book of heaven that the gods said"

I didn't see it with my own eyes, so I made a conclusion. This fully proves Zhao Heng's worship of immortals. So the prime minister's privy councillors, headed by Wang Dan, were immediately infected with "Your Majesty's Majesty and sincerity to the world, benevolence and filial piety to the ancestors... (More than 40 words are omitted below) ministers and others say that the way of heaven is not far away, and they will be rewarded. Now sure enough, the gods came to predict first, and the book of heaven went down to earth on time. This is all blessed by heaven," and then all the ministers cheered in unison and bowed to the emperor. After a period of confusion, they came to a new consensus: "Your Majesty, this is given to you by Heaven alone." In a moment, please open the Book of Heaven alone, and everyone will retreat."

Zhao Heng shook his head, "If the heavens criticize the mistakes of my governance, then naturally they won't be able to run away from you." Let's work together on how to change it. If you warn me alone, then you will have to supervise and correct me. How can we hide the will of Heaven from everyone?"

At the end of the discussion, the monarchs and ministers got up together and walked towards the Zuo Chengtian Gate... Zuo Chengtianmen has arrived, and the incense case has been placed. The emperor personally bowed down to the piece of yellow silk incense, and then ordered two eunuchs, Zhou Huaizheng and Huangfu Jimingshun, to climb up the ladder and take down the 'Book of Heaven'.

Prime Minister Wang Dan took the "Book from Heaven" and knelt down to present it to the emperor. Zhao Heng also knelt down, took the "Book from Heaven" and put it into the super incense car that had been carved since the gods descended to earth. The emperor and the prime minister personally guided them on foot and came to the Yellow Seal Dojo in the Chaoyuan Palace. The privy envoy Chen Yaosu will open the 'Book of Heaven' there and read the will of God!

The solemn moment has arrived! Chen Yaosuo, a talented man in Shuchuan, was extremely glorious and excited to untie the piece of yellow silk that was more than 2 zhang long, and saw that there were indeed 3 pieces of heavenly books inside, all written in yellow font. On the yellow silk of Bao Tianshu, there are 21 big characters of the recipient's message handwritten by God himself - "Zhao was ordered to prosper in the Song Dynasty." Pay for Heng. Stay in its instrument and keep it right. Seven hundred, ninety-nine "is clear, this is written to Zhao Heng, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty Zhenzong who inherited the mandate of heaven. Ask him to protect the artifact and guarantee justice. The life span of the Great Song Dynasty will be 700 years, and the stability coefficient is the highest 99%

Then the Privy Envoy Chen officially opened the Book of Heaven and read it aloud in public. It turned out that the writing level of the old man God was really profound. Because the format and style of the Book of Heaven is quite close to the "Shangshu Hongfan" and "Laozi Tao Te Ching", the first volume of the 3 volumes of the Book of Heaven, praised Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty for being able to manage the country with filial piety and benevolence, and was a good emperor! Volume 2 is to warn Zhao Heng to be quiet and frugal, don't waste it! Volume 3 once again reaffirms God's special love for the Great Song Dynasty, and you will surely have prosperity and happiness forever. Just listen to God. Follow Zhao Heng, then even 700 years can be extended indefinitely...

The ceremony ended in a warm and festive state, and the "Book of Heaven" was collected into the famous gold box of the Song Dynasty, that is, the "Golden Kui", which became Zhao Heng's permanent treasure...

On the night of Shi Zai, Zhao Heng and Wang Dan both returned to the scene of the Yellow Seal Dojo, nominally paying tribute to Lu Shangtian again. But which director and protagonist must not reflect on the present and plan for tomorrow after the first scene of the filming of the play? After all, this is just the beginning...

On January 5, due to the advent of the Book of Heaven, the Great Song Emperor granted amnesty to the world. Grace hundred officials, change the Yuan Dazhong auspicious charm.

After that, there were more than 70 days of silence. The only discordant voice came from Zhao Deming, a member of the party. He claimed that he was in the midst of a famine and wanted to borrow millions of grain from the Great Song Dynasty. Everyone thinks that Zhao Deming has just been a minister for a long time, and he is playing this game again. Just don't put the court in your eyes. It should be reprimanded. Wang Dan disagreed, and he persuaded the emperor to reply to Zhao Deming and said that there were millions of millet in Kaifeng City, so you could take it yourself. Zhao Deming saw the book and sighed that "there are people in the court". There is also a legend about this incident, saying that Zhao Deming's original national book was 4 big characters 'Tianxin takes rice' Tianxin is the heart of the Great Song Dynasty. said that he was going to Kaifeng to compete with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty. As a result, someone in the Great Song Dynasty (I don't know who) added a stroke to each of these 4 words, and became 'may not dare to come' to write back to Zhao Deming, dispelling his arrogance! But I don't think this kind of thing is like what this Xia Taizong can do. It's more like the handwriting of his reincarnated son Li Yuanhao...

On March 13, 1008, the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Yanzhou, where Mount Tai is located, suddenly became the focus of the whole country. 1287 ordinary people, headed by Lu Liang, they asked the emperor to meet - the Great Song Dynasty was founded nearly 50 years, the world is peaceful, and the sky descends auspicious charms, we invite you to Mount Tai to hold a Zen ceremony, in order to thank God! Zhao Heng disagreed, gave them the travel expenses, and honestly went home to farm for me!

The first effort of the Yanzhou people failed in this way. The second time, Zhizhou Shao Hua took all the Yanzhou officials to write a letter collectively, asking the emperor to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen. But unfortunately, the emperor was still unmoved, and the second effort of the Yanzhou people failed again.

On the 18th, a Yanzhou man named Kong Wei led 840 candidates from all over the country to gather in the capital, and once again implored the emperor to be sure to seal the Zen! But for the third time, the emperor struck a blow to the enthusiasm of the Yanzhou people. He solemnly declared: Feng Zen is a rare event in the world throughout the ages, and not everyone is qualified to do it!

On the 21st, Wang Dan, the prime minister of the Great Song Dynasty, led 24,370 people in the world to ask the emperor to seal the Zen 5 times, but Zhao Heng still refused...

All signs show that Zhao Heng is still alive in the world at this time. Until April 1st.

On this day, the second copy of the Book of Heaven was found on the Merit Pavilion in the inner courtyard of the Imperial Palace, and the content was exactly the same as the first one. How obvious, God is blaming Zhao Heng for being ignorant, and he also asks me to say it twice? Why don't you go to "seal Zen"

So Zhao Heng "revered heaven and feared life" like an ancient sage, and he had to do it... He issued an edict that a great ceremony of sealing Zen would be held in Mount Tai in October. On the 5th, Zhao Heng appointed Wang Qinruo, the privy envoy, and Zhao Anren, the governor of the council, as the envoys of the longitude of the Zen Confederacy, and went to Yanzhou first to be responsible for all the specific matters of the Zen Ceremony.

Regarding the funds for the Feng Chan ceremony, Zhao Heng found one of the three phases of the Great Song Dynasty, the 'Ji Xiang', that is, the three envoys Ding Wei. Ding Wei's face was relaxed, his tone was calm, and he said the 4 words that were considered the most unobtrusive by later generations, "there is more than enough planning", so Zhao Heng appointed Ding Wei to be responsible for the supply of grain and grass along the way; Cao Yong and Li Shenfu renovated the road; Chao Zhen, Li Zongge, Yang Yi, Du Hao, Chen Pengnian and other erudite Confucians formulated the etiquette of sealing Zen.

On the 6th, Zhao Heng appointed the "Five Envoys of the Great Ceremony of Fengchan" - Prime Minister Wang Dan as the Great Envoy, Privy Envoy Wang Qinruo as the Etiquette Envoy, Governor Feng Zheng as the Honor Guard, Privy Envoy Chen Yaosu as the Halo Book Envoy, and Governor Zhao Anren as the Bridge Road Envoy.

This specification is unique in the 5,000-year-old history of China. Even the Qin Emperor and Han Wu's Feng Chan did not wipe out the heads of the military and government and mobilized them all. At this time, the top ministers of the Great Song Dynasty all put down all national politics to work hard for this goal...

But the conundrum immediately arose. It is said that Song Zhenzong is the 7th (and the last) emperor in Chinese history to play Feng Zen. In front of him were: Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Empress Wu Zetian (she was enshrined in Songshan) Tang Xuanzong Li Longji. But even if you turn all the history books to rot, you can't find them, especially the most famous 2 times - Emperor Qin, the details of the sealing of the Han Wu...

After Qin Shi Huang ruled the world, he went to Mount Tai on time to report to Lu Shangtian. Unexpectedly, just halfway up the mountain, suddenly lightning and thunder roared, and it poured rain. Qin Shi Huang was so shocked that he took shelter from the rain under five large pine trees and went down the mountain to go home. In other words, he didn't become a Zen at all. The whole action is to seal the five big pine trees, and from then on they will be called "five big pine trees"

It was the turn of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to break the Huns, and the Han Wei spread far and wide, so he replayed everything that Qin Shi Huang had done, including Feng Chan. But he doesn't know how to "seal" this "Zen"... But the fierce life is omnipotent, and he formulated his own Zen sealing etiquette, and he did it according to the specifications of the Eastern Emperor Taiyi! But no one knows what to do in the end. He was alone with the most prosperous military achievements in the history of the Han Dynasty, the sharpest general Huo Quai's son to the top of the mountain, how to seal the Zen only the two of them know the Tao, and General Huo's son died of a violent illness shortly after coming down the mountain, and the secret has been sealed since then... (To be continued......)
