Meng Heilong died, his subordinates surrendered, and Ren Huan couldn't help but rejoice. Before the emperor's canonization ceremony, send such a good news, and the emperor will inevitably be happy.

Due to the function of the gallop road to increase the speed of the carriage, not long after, the emperor's convoy on the eastern tour arrived at the foot of the mountain in the land of Qilu. The scenery of Yishan is wonderful, and the surrounding area is the birthplace of Confucian sages Confucius and Mencius, and Confucian scholars worship this place as a holy place. Therefore, Confucian suggested that the emperor stay here and show his merits.

The emperor, who was so happy with his achievements, was naturally pleased with this kind of advance, so he climbed the mountain to enjoy it, and asked Li Si to write an inscription, carve a stone on the mountain, and engrave his great achievements in unifying the six countries on the mountain for future generations to admire.

After a short stay of three or five days, the convoy of the East Patrol rushed to the most important place of the patrol: Mount Tai.

The emperor wants to carry out the ceremony of sealing Zen here. Of course, in fact, Feng and Zen are two parts. Feng is to climb Mount Tai and worship the heavens, and the Zen ceremony, it is necessary to go to Liangfu Mountain to worship the earth, which can be regarded as the completion of the Zen ceremony.

In this Zen ceremony, there is also a little twist and turn. The emperor toured the east to seal Zen, and the Confucian scholars contributed a lot. When the emperor pacified the world and began to be called the emperor, there was a Confucian scholar who wrote to the emperor, and the Son of Heaven had to hold a ceremony to seal the Zen and get the recognition of God, so that he could be worthy of the name and become the master of the world. The emperor was very interested in this statement, so he was also quite concerned about the matter of sealing Zen, so he had this idea.

Of course, when Confucian scholars wrote to the emperor to ask for the canonization of Zen, they naturally did not get tired of it just because the ancient rites were like this, and encouraged the emperor to enshrine Zen. They also have their own motivations. Tried to use Confucian etiquette to apply to the emperor's head, so that the emperor would establish Confucianism as an important technique for the state. This ideal is too grandiose, and it is not certain whether it can be realized, but the Confucian scholars know that it is a great thing to be able to show their faces in front of the emperor.

Because of the emperor's canonization, the Confucian scholars claimed to be proficient in etiquette, so they formulated a series of etiquette laws and regulations, hoping that the emperor would follow the cumbersome rules they had formulated according to the so-called "ancient rites" to carry out the ritual of worshipping the heavens. For example, when climbing Mount Tai, you must take a cart, so as not to hurt the rocks and plants, and the tributes used are even more varied, even if you mobilize from all over the country, it is difficult to do, and what makes the emperor unbearable is that Confucianism asks the emperor to bring less generals and more Confucianism to the mountain, showing the emperor's benevolence and disgust with soldiers, etc.

Looking at the Confucian scholars' faces that were bound by ancient rituals, the emperor was as disgusted as if he had swallowed dozens of flies. The decisive emperor made a jaw-dropping decision: drive all the Confucian scholars down the mountain, and take a cadre of civil and military ministers up the mountain to hold a ceremony to seal the Zen! Love comes as it comes!

The Confucian scholars who heard the news were shocked by the news. There is a lot of resentment and resentment towards the emperor. Although he dared to be angry, he didn't dare to speak, so he had to spread rumors in private and slander the emperor. The most widespread rumor is that the emperor sacrificed to the world and took shelter under a pine tree in the face of heavy rain. Because of the old pine's ability to shelter from the rain, the emperor gave the old tree a knighthood on a whim, ranking among the five doctors. Therefore, the pine is also known as the "five major doctor pine".

The poor and boring Confucian student, because he was stopped by the emperor at the foot of the mountain, was dissatisfied, so he took advantage of this to spread rumors, saying that the emperor did not follow the ancient rites, despised Confucianism, angered the mountain god, and rained heavily......

The emperor did not care about these bitter and rotten remarks. On the top of Mount Tai, he is a stone inscription, and the names of the meritorious deeds of the accompanying civil and military warriors are recorded one by one to show their great achievements. Unfortunately, more than ten years later, the empire was in turmoil, and these steles were all destroyed by those who had a heart, and there was no trace of them anymore.

After Mount Tai sealed the Zen, the emperor followed the established route, went to Langya, Pengcheng, Xiangshan and other places to patrol and hunt, all the way to the land and water, the boat and car were tiring, very hard.

Hunting is not for fun. Every day when the emperor stopped, he would mobilize local officials to conduct interviews to investigate the local customs and customs, and sent a large number of secret agents to investigate the general situation of the people's livelihood in various places, and to visit the remnants of the forces of the Six Kingdoms, etc., all the way to the patrol, in addition to assessing the officials in various places, there is also the task of deterring the restoration forces of the Six Kingdoms.

Of course, the center of the entire empire actually moved around with the emperor's hunting tours, and there were several carts of music coming from all over the empire every day. On the journey, the emperor and the dignitaries of the imperial court had to continue to deal with the affairs of the imperial court in the bumpy carriage every day.

Those big businessmen who spent money to buy a place to escort are even more miserable. At first, they thought that following the emperor around was a comfortable and face-saving thing. But in fact, there is no such thing at all. There are a lot of dignitaries and nobles in the team, how can it be possible for these businessmen to get better special treatment? In the past few months, many people have lost weight several times, and they should have lost weight.

Even so, no one dared to complain, what a glorious thing it was to be able to accompany the emperor on his tour, and when he returned to Xianyang in the future, what happened during this period of time would be their lifelong conversation capital. As long as you say loudly, uncle, I followed His Majesty the Emperor to the east to tour the world, which is enough to make others envious and jealous. Although when following in the footsteps of His Majesty the Emperor, they could only follow the Emperor's car from a distance at the end of the line, and Long Yan could only worship from afar.

……

The emperor's chariot was spacious, nearly three zhang long and about one zhang wide, which could accommodate more than ten people, and was covered with a thick soft blanket, which could offset the bumpy feeling of the carriage when it galloped. Inside the carriage, in the carriage, in addition to the emperor himself, there were two female officials who were in charge of his living and eating along the way.

"Zhao Gao." The emperor leaned on the comfortable futon and threw a piece of music in front of the couch, his voice slightly tired: "Where is the music sent by Lingnan today?" ”

The Lingnan War has been going on for a long time, and Ren Huan will report the advance of the war to the emperor in the form of a briefing every day, so the emperor is well aware of the situation in Lingnan.

A month ago, Meng Heilong, the king of Nanyue, was killed by his subordinates, and the general trend of the anti-Qin army in Lingnan has gone. His son Meng Qingshan and the Qin army fought fiercely under Longchuan City for several days, and finally suffered a heavy defeat, abandoned the city and broke through, leading the remnants of less than 2,000 people to flee into the mountains. The Qin army has added time to encircle and suppress. Now the main force of the Qin army has broken through to the boundary of the Xi'ou territory, and the king of Xi'ou has started a war with the enemy, and the Xi'ou army, which had fought with the Menghei Dragon Department, is not the opponent of the Qin army, and has retreated backwards.
