Chapter 163: Keeping Dan's heart and sweating
Everyone looked at it, yes, this Yan Tang Yingling is not a god or an ancestor, I am afraid that it will be too much with the gift of Taijiao, and those warriors are afraid that they will not be able to bear it, and they will discuss and change it to and from the people of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites to annoy, and some smart people will say that they will simply use the three animals of the Heli and let the Far Eastern Hou figure it out by himself.
Such a question turned around and then turned into Dugu Xinci's hands, Dugu Xinci asked Yao Chongyan Tang about the process of worshipping his ancestors over the years, and wondered if so many people still need to be divided in the end? Hundreds of civil and military officials, more than a hundred? Who is enough for three pigs and sheep heads?
So he asked the Shengdaofang to prepare the whole pig and the whole sheep, and asked the dog to go to the Guangyun Pond to find out if there were any big fish, and the dog guarded for a day and a night and finally caught a fish that was about the same height as it, which was the one on the table now, carried by six people.
Originally, the general memorial was without wine, but Dugu Xinci said again, they are all men on the battlefield, how can they do without wine? Du Juan also said that there is no precedent, Dugu Xinci stared, and he enjoyed the livestock, which blessing did not have this sentence? Thou hast said that there are three animals without sweet wine, how can you do it?
And so there were these three jars of wine.
All the staff stood solemnly and began to greet the gods.
The music stopped, and the incense ceremony began, and the chief priest Song Jing, in front of the throne, the accompanying priests were in place. Bow four times to welcome God. Four bows: bow, worship and worship, and flatten.
The music is played to calm the song, and the priest and the accompanying priest prostrate the incense.
The ceremony is completed, everyone is reset, and the joy stops.
This is followed by the "First Offering".
The music plays a song of tranquility.
Ask the celebrant to make the first offering, and to honor the wine,
At this time, the bottle pours wine for all the lords, and the bearers and silkers immediately go to the east side of the throne and stand facing north, and the seat is in the south of the throne and standing towards the north.
The wine bottle is poured into the wine, before the presiding priest is invited to the god's position, please accompany the priest to be in place, lay the silk, offer the knight, worship Xing, worship Xing, and worship Xing, and worship Xing three times. Please presiding over the incense case.
Then go to the reading blessing position, read the blessing on the left side of the dedication, the music stops, all the officials kneel, read the blessing.
The person who reads the blessing is Ziwei Ling, and Zhang said that he is a prince.
"However, in the second year of Kaiyuan, the age is in Yiwei, the festival is Qingming, Sanyang Kaitai, Biyu clarifies, the subjects of Yan and Tang Dynasty are sincere and respectful, and the ceremony of flowers and music is sacrificed to the heroic spirits of the Yan and Tang dynasties and said: The heroic spirits are great, and the Yan and Tang dynasties are opened. Gonghua is sacred, and generations look up. Cultivate the roots of the nation, create the soul of brilliant civilization, and bless the dream of prosperity. Looking back at the First Sino-Japanese War, the task is to reform. Determined to rejuvenate and carry forward Zude. Streamline administration and delegate power, amend the law and secure the country. The whole program is disciplined, and it is as steep as a high city. Laughing at the martyrs, the heroic soul is knowledgeable, and the old garden has a new look, turning the world upside down. Following the last wish of the martyrs, compose a new song to realize the dream; Extending the national fortune of Yan and Tang, playing Huang Zhong Dalu. The legacy of the martyrs, such as the anointing rain, the hearts of the people of the Yan and Tang Dynasties, moistens and condenses, the great flow of long-term flow, inheritance and tempering, outstanding and immortal, and forever the paradigm. Take history as a mirror and pay tribute to the national mourning. Faithfulness and harmony benefit all parties. I hope that the water is pure and the mountains are green, and the eight rivers are flowing out, and the wind is free of dust and rain without mud. Haohao Kyushu Sui'an, Minkangfu, Shi Heyi. Demonstrate cultural self-confidence and magnify Chinese civilization. The subjects of Yan and Tang joined hands to prosper together. The bridge mountain is majestic, and the soup soup is depressed. Drums are playing in unison, bathing in fragrant fragrance. All the people stand solemnly, worship the heroic spirits, welcome the heroic spirits, enjoy the sacrifices, bless Wu Yan Tang, the four seas are leveled, and pray for the wind and rain, and Ji Yan Tang auspicious. The great gift is complete, and the curtain is still feasting! Alas! Alas! ”
After reading, the music continued, and the officials prostrated themselves and flattened.
Beat the drum and offer the gift.
The music plays the song of peace.
Please ask the presiding priest to honor the wine, the wine bottle is poured into the wine, and the presiding priest is invited to make a gift, and in front of the god's throne, he offers the lord but does not lay the silk, and the officials prostrate themselves.
Happy.
Beat the drum at the end, make the final offering,
The music plays the song of scenery and harmony.
The priest is in charge of the wine honor, and the wine bottle is poured into the wine, and the chief priest is invited to make a gift in front of the god. The officials of the knighthood prostrate themselves.
Ask the presiding priest to reinstate. Happy.
Drink and be blessed. Ask the presiding priest to drink the blessing and receive the blessing ceremony, and drink the blessing wine before the incense case. Played. The first official is in place, kneeling and drinking blessing wine, receiving blessings, prostrating and prostrating, and flattening. Reposition. The deacon held his cheeks out, and the officials bowed again: bow, bowed, and flattened. Gifts are still exchanged, so the officials share wine and vegetables together, and they are also happy.
The officials prostrate themselves. Ask the presiding priest to reinstate.
After the three offerings, take a break and start withdrawing the food. The deacon symbolically moves the bartender. The one who covers the sacrifice also obeys his labor.
After the dissolution, he began to resign. Music, four prostrations. The above things are like life, just like welcoming guests, offering wine, dining, and sending guests off in reality.
Finally, it is Wangqi, "burning the blessing text, burning the treasure silk", through the burning of the blessing text, burning the silk, up to the sky. If paper tablets are used, they should also be burned. If you can't raise a fire today, it's sealed.
Zhang said that he lit the blessing in the incense burner with incense, and the whole ceremony was completed in the smoke of incense, the sound of bells and drums, and the sound of cannons.
The ceremony is completed, but the ceremony is not finished, and there is still a dispersion. All those who sacrifice are blessed, and they are also generous and generous. Ancient rituals generally end with a banquet, which is covered by the heroic spirits or ancestors. Therefore, sacrificing to show respect and feasting to the fullest is the purpose of ceremony, and harmony is precious. It is obviously the way of the first king. As for the dispersion, in order to show that no matter whether they are close or not, they are blessed in turn, only in order, and there is no thickness of courtesy, and the ancestors love the public.
Dugu Xinci also divided a pig's tail and swallowed it indiscriminately, and then looked at Li Yuanhong's Mansion Yin on the side, but only a little minced meat the size of a finger, Dugu Xinci was still happy at first, and felt that he was very popular, and he was still treated favorably, but after thinking about it, this is bullying a young man?
Although the three sacrifices are boiled, how can they taste good? is still half-baked, afraid that those old courtiers will eat bad stomachs, so give them a little bit, see that they are young and give a whole pigtail, and they are not afraid of choking so-and-so?
Dugu Xinci squinted at Song Jing, the chief priest who was still parting his cheeks.
At the same time, the division began to withdraw from the class, that is, the music class and the honor guard withdrew after circling the shrine for a week, and walked while playing music.
The guard of honor includes: dragon head staff, big gong, long pipe copper trumpet, bronze mirror, red light, colorful flag, "Heroic Spirit" street sign, "Quiet" card, "avoidance" card, as well as gold and jade axe, big knife, painting halberd, demon exorcism card, monster slashing knife and other equipment honor guard; There are gods such as the road god, the eighth class, and the Imperial Forest Army dressed up by people; There are also teams such as blowing sheng, car drums, ten tones, eight music, horse teams, and makeup pavilions; Finally, there are incense pavilions, "horseshoe crab fans", and umbrellas that support the gods of the heroes.
After the end of the sacrifice, according to the system, the relevant officials should be given meat to eat, which is called "awarding the girth". Before the sacrifice, Taichang Temple is responsible for registering and making a book, and issuing a list (that is, a meat certificate) to each yamen. After the sacrifice, each yamen went to the sacrificial house to collect it with yesterday's order. According to records: Zongzheng Mansion and Political Affairs Hall are ten catties each, Liubu, Honglu Temple, Yushitai, Dali Temple, and Music Club are seven catties each, Taichang Temple Ten Guards, Prince Zhan Shifu, Jingzhao Mansion, Taifu Temple, Guanglu Temple, and other Qing Jian are five catties each, and Hanlin Academy, Living Note, Guozijian, Tai Hospital, Qintianjian, and Zhongshu Shepeople are four catties each.
Even if the whole ceremony is truly completed after the withdrawal of the music class and the honor guard, the accompanying priests are also relieved, this more than an hour is a kowtow and a salute, and they must also concentrate, for fear of something wrong, how can they not be tired?
Discipline at the site is extremely strict. The saints often decreed that the accompanying officials must be pious and clean, and they must not be late or leave early, cough and spit, walk around and make noise, and do not peep at idlers, or disturb the order. Otherwise, no matter who they are, they will be punished severely. According to historical records: during the Wu and Tang dynasties, Prince Cheng was sent to perform the sacrifice ceremony because of the worship of the emperor in the room. Because when Prince Cheng performed the "final offering" ceremony to the saints, the prince messed up the order of first east and then west, and was dismissed and retired to the mansion Qiu after the fact, and was fined half a ten-year deduction for ten years, according to the county king's food. This example shows the seriousness of the king's ritual of sacrificing the land.
"Let's go back, the people who are waiting to worship will enter the hall soon," Li Yuanhong's Mansion Yin instructed Dugu Xinci.
"There are still many relatives who are listed in the martyrs' shrine, and they still need to be incense with them?" Dugu Xinci twisted his neck.
"Then so-and-so left first, you are good today, and you are not embarrassed to participate in the festival for the first time" Li Yuanhong Mansion Yin didn't know whether to praise or depreciate.
"Let's go, let's go, I still need to watch the worship crowd at noon, can't something happen? The saint can't participate in the banquet, and it's a pity that he can't give a cup of the house? ”
"Well, you should hurry up, and nothing can happen? When can't a toast? ”
Li Yuanhong's Mansion Yin left the scene with a group of Zhu Zi to accompany the sacrifice, and only the monks and Taoists were left at the scene, and they still had to do the Dharma for seven days.
Dugu Xinci then asked the Kongwu Master at the end of the team if he could enter the incense.
Master Kongwu nodded, Dugu Xinci entered the Martyrs' Shrine to burn incense and paper to Dugu Su and others, Da Xiong and Ah Gou also accompanied and kowtowed a few heads, and the martyrs were put in one by one, looking at the three people who entered first, they didn't care, and they began to search for the tablets of their relatives at a glance.
The high stele is written in block letters on the site of the battle where the battle was killed, but it is still clear and orderly.
There are futons and incense burners in front of the inscription, and at this moment they are also kneeling with a crowd, and there are not a few people who are weeping.
The big bear actually burst into tears, Dugu Xinci smacked his lips and took the two out of the shrine.
There are thirteen steps in front of the main hall, also paved with carpet, at this moment people are coming in and out one after another, an old man holding a token looked at the handwriting on the pillar and scolded: "Keep Dan to take care of the sweat? There is no loess, what is the use of leaving a name in history? Son, bitter! ”
Dugu Xinci carefully avoided the crowd that came up, and she didn't know what it was like.
The monks and monks are still reciting the scriptures, and the whole festival process is graceful and solemn, and the spirit is full of energy. The incense team of the martyrs from all over the country, as well as the martyrs of Chang'an, 1.2 million people gathered in front of the Daming Palace, and came in batches to pious incense, worship, and pray for blessings.
Out of the white jade granite archway of the Martyrs' Shrine, the three of them walked to the outside of the Daming Palace, and the crowd in the right Yintai Gate slowly squirmed, and Yan Shizhi Shaoyin was nowhere to be seen, but there were finally a lot of sheds and stools and chairs, and there were also people from Jingzhao Mansion watching.
Exiting the right silver gate, the sky is still overcast, and it looks like it will rain again at any time.
The Wannian county officials in the various sheds were numb, and the Taoist chief and monks were also listless.
Dugu Xinci and his entourage went slowly retrograde, went straight to Chunmingmen Street and then returned to Danfeng Gate, and finally entered the Jinwuwei outpost in Danfeng Gate to rest, and actually found Nalan Feiya waiting here.
"Tianxing has worked hard, brought you some food" Nalan Feiya opened a chair for him.
"It's still Xiaoya, it's good," Dugu Xinci finally felt a trace of warmth.
"This is a certain handmade pastry, you can try it" Du Shasha also opened the food box, several kinds of snacks.
"It's a silly girl" Dugu Xinci picked up a piece of things that I didn't know if it was a magnetic cake or a shortbread, put it in my mouth and chewed it, almost knocking my teeth, wanting to spit it out, but seeing the eager eyes of the two little ladies, I had to chew it twice and swallow it.
"It's delicious, it's almost time to catch up with a certain craft," Dugu Xinci gave a thumbs up with tears in his heart.
The big bear stretched out his hand to take a piece and taste it, Du Shasha slapped the bear's paw open, "This is specially prepared for Brother Tianxing, you are waiting over there"
So Big Bear and Ah Dog went to the side to enjoy the imperial kitchen's meal, and Dugu Xinci tasted these love foods that I didn't know anything about.
It wasn't until Nalan Feiya saw that her gulping was very sweet, and she couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in her mouth, and immediately spit it out.
Empress Nalan's face immediately turned crimson, and she patted away the things in Dugu Xinci's hands that she was pretending to enjoy, and said angrily, "It's so unpalatable, why didn't you say it earlier?" ”
"Delicious, huh?" Dugu Xinci is still enjoying it with his eyes closed.
Du Shasha also took a sip of the letter and spit it out.
"Let's go, go to the Ayaqi Palace, where is there a cook, make another table" Nalan Feiya pulled up Dugu Xinci.
Dugu Xinci is very happy, is she going to enter her sweetheart's boudoir?
So Dugu Xinci ran out to find a shed to explain to him, and happily took Nalan Feiya's slender hand to the Ayaqi Palace.
It's a pity that before Hanyuan Hall passed, he was stopped by a group of people, all of whom were Jinwuwei soldiers with helmets and armor, led by Pei Min, the general of Jinwuwei.
"The sage summoned the Marquis of the Far East to the Linde Palace," Pei Min arched his hand.
"Is so-and-so still on duty?" Dugu Xinci muttered, but Nalan Xinya narrowed Danfeng's eyes, and her face sank, she had already noticed that this Pei Min was not good?
"May I ask General Pei, is the sage's will to let the Marquis of Far East be held or the Marquis of Far East be invited?" Empress Nalan immediately asked.
"Eh, Far Eastern Hou should go with a certain person, the sage Long Yan is furious" Pei Min didn't want to offend the two hottest young people in Chang'an.
"It's okay, it's okay, I'll come out when I go, you go to the Ayaqi Hall to get ready to eat, and I'm hungry" Dugu Xinci hurriedly clapped his hands to comfort.
"So-and-so go with you," Nalan Feiya said stubbornly.
"It's really okay" Dugu Xinci walked with General Pei Min and told about today's conflict with Hanlin worship.
"That Hanlin enshrined Zhang Xuan painter died, hanged himself in the main hall of the Hanlin Academy, there is a suicide note as evidence" Pei Min did not squint, but said clearly.
"Dead? Or is it self-hanging southeast branch? Dugu Xinci Mo didn't need to rub his chin, and smiled unscrupulously.
"Are you still laughing? That Zhang Xuan was afraid that after being humiliated in front of the person, he would not be angry and hang himself, "Nalan Feiya pinched a lover" I'm afraid there is a big trouble in this matter, no wonder the saint is angry, and he will talk about it later."
"What's the matter with Lai? He said the wrong thing himself, he asked him to apologize, his mind was narrow-minded, he wanted to die, how could he hold it? Dugu Xinci still disagreed.
"But this Zhang worship is dead, it's not the time to die, today is Qingming, and it's the martyrs' shrine to pay tribute, this matter can no longer be covered, a few Hanlin worshippers carried the body to the front of the hundred officials of the Linde Palace" Pei Min sighed without squinting.
"Eating and eating, carrying a corpse with a long tongue, this time it's disgusting to kill the civil and military officials of Yan Tang, by the way, what does the suicide note say?"
The panicked beachhead said panic, and the zero ding sighed in the ocean. All men are mortal? Keep Dan in mind.
