Chapter 990: Mount Tai Seals Zen

The celebration is established

"Dragon" is the totem of the Wu Dynasty and the totem of China, which means that he has another nickname - Ancestral Dragon!

What dragons? With the history of Qin Shi Huang

"Black Dragon" is different, Qingji is

"Red Dragon". The state of Qin belongs to water, and it is still black; Wu belongs to fire, Shang Chi. The five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth are said to be virtuous, so that the flag costumes of Wu are all crimson and will not change.

"Literature."

"The minister is here!"

"For the imperial ceremony of the widow, the meaning of the widow, it is also necessary to establish the national flag, national anthem, and national emblem of my Great Wu. You are responsible for promulgating it, advertising it all over the world, soliciting suitable national flags, national anthems, and national emblems, and all Chinese people are eligible to participate in and formulate them. Qingji decided to use the national anthem, national flag, and national emblem of Dawu to participate in the way of auditions, so that everyone in the world can participate, regardless of the level of status, can participate in such a grand event.

This is the first of its kind! Wu has flags, flags, and war songs, but the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem that belong to the national form are still unique.

"No!" Wen Chong hurriedly agreed. …… Half a month later, Qingji, who had everything ready, began his mighty eastern tour.

This time, the purpose of Qingji's eastern tour is mainly to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen, so as to announce to the heavens and the world that he has changed the dynasty and becomes

The legitimacy of the "First Emperor" was further promoted

The saying "the power of the monarch is bestowed". The people of this era believe in the heavens, and the five mountains are considered to be the closest places to the heavens.

Legend has it that after the death of the god Pangu, the head turned into Dongyue, the left arm turned into Nanyue, the right arm turned into Beiyue, the body turned into Zhongyue, and the foot turned into Xiyue.

The east is the place where the sun rises, and the ancients believed that the east is the source of life, and Qinshan Mountain in the east has become

"The place where all things are born".

"Auspicious Mountain",

"House of the Gods". Since Qin Shi Huang, if you want to carry out the Zen ceremony in Mount Tai, you need to have three basic conditions, namely: First, after the change of dynasty, the national territory is unified.

Second, the emperor has made outstanding achievements in his reign, and the country is peaceful and the people are rich and strong. Third, in the peaceful and prosperous era, there is auspiciousness.

There were many emperors in ancient times, but it was not easy to meet the three conditions for sealing Zen. The emperor who divided the power was not qualified to be enshrined in Zen, and the outstanding political achievements of the country and the people also restricted many emperors, and the appearance of auspicious rui was even more unattainable.

Although the emperor regarded Fengzen as the most glorious achievement of the emperor, he was able to go

There are very few emperors who "seal Zen on Mount Tai". Historically, there were six emperors who held a ceremony in Mount Tai: Zhao Zheng, the first emperor of Qin, Liu Che, the filial piety emperor of Han Shizong, Liu Xiu, the ancestor of Guangwu of Han, Li Zhi, the filial piety emperor of Tang Gaozong, Li Longji, the emperor of Xuanzong Ming of Tang, and Zhao Heng, the emperor of Yuanxiao of Song Zhenzong.

Compared with the previous five predecessors, Song Zhenzong is not qualified to go to Mount Tai to seal Zen. During the period of Song Zhenzong, the Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao and the Emperor of Liao led a large army to invade the Song Territory, and Song Zhenzong reluctantly went to Lanzhou to supervise the war under the persuasion of Prime Minister Kou Zhun.

Later, the two sides signed

"The Alliance of Lanyuan", Song gave Liao 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 horses of silk every year, and Song Liao took the Baigou River as the boundary.

The alliance eliminated the hidden danger of the Liao State on the northern border, and the two countries traded with each other. Song Zhenzong thought that the credit was significant, and four years later he was enshrined in Mount Tai, and a scene was directed in Feng Chan

The farce of "books from heaven falling from the sky". Song Zhenzong's various feudal and sacrificial activities squandered the savings of the previous generation to his old age

"The inner storage is a little empty"...... Song Zhenzong, who engaged in the face-saving project, not only lowered the grade of Mount Tai's sealing of Zen, but also squandered the treasury.

It is not a trivial matter for Mount Tai to seal Zen, and the cost is huge, but Wu Guo can still afford it. After arriving at Mount Tai, Qingji first sent more than 1,500 servants to repair the mountain road, and more than 3,000 people of the Wu army built ashlar stones on the Dengfeng platform.

He also sent people to build a round mound altar four miles south of the mountain, and decorated it with five-colored soil

"Altar of Worship". Build an altar on the top of the mountain, five zhang wide, nine feet high, out of the majesty on all sides, number

"Dengfeng altar", build an octagonal square altar in the head of the mountain, number

"Descending Zen altar". Then, Qingji fasted and bathed for three days, and went to the southeast of Mount Tai to burnt firewood to worship the sky. After the ceremony, take the chariot to climb the mountain, and change clothes to seal the ceremony after resting at the top of the mountain.

Qingji first appeared under the attention of everyone, wearing the emperor's costume of the twelve crowns, holding the jade gui, with a serious look, and ascended the altar to pray.

On the occasion of the celebration and prayer, the ministers sang the ritual music "Song of Wu" belonging to the Wu Kingdom. This huge ceremony lasted for half a month, which shows how cumbersome its etiquette is.

Before leaving, Qingji also deliberately set up a stone tablet on the top of Mount Tai, so that calligraphers can write inscriptions on the stone tablet to sing praises for Qingji——

"The emperor established the country, the beginning of the Wei dynasty was in the past, and the heirs were called kings. Crusade against rebellion, intimidating the four poles, and ...... the righteous and righteous side"

"Three has two years, the high number is recommended, and filial piety is revealed. Both dedication to Taicheng, but to descend to the favor, personally patrol the distance......"

"Remembering the troubled times, dividing the land and building the state, in order to open disputes. Attacking the Japanese army, bleeding in the wilderness, since Taigu. ”

"There are no tens of thousands in the world, and the five emperors cannot be forbidden. It is the emperor of the present, the world is a family, and the army will not rise again......"

"Within the four guards, there is no county. Four barbarians and eight barbarians, salty and untributed. The people cover the rest, the sky is eternal, and the stone is engraved. This shows that the Taishan Zen sealing ceremony of Qingji has finally come to an end.

After leaving Mount Tai, Qingji's patrol team went all the way south, along the ditch, by land and water, to Jinling, the eastern capital of Wu State.

According to the rules set by Qingji, the capital of the emperor is the political center. Therefore, if nothing else, in Qingji's lifetime, the political center after the Wu Dynasty will be Jinling.

…… It was December. Above the ditch, sparkling, thousands of sails racing. All kinds of large ships sailed on the water, and the formation was unprecedentedly huge.

This is exactly Qingji's patrol team. It is said that it is a patrol team, but in fact, it should be said that it is

The "relocation team" is more appropriate. Qingji left Prince Heng in Xianyang, and he led Sun Wu, Wen Chong, Kong Qiu, Fan Li and other three princes and nine secretaries, ministers of state, and tens of thousands of courtiers and officials, troops, harem concubines, chamberlains, and palace ladies to move back to Jinling.

Of course, a considerable part remains in Xianyang. At this time, Qingji was standing on the deck of the ship, overlooking the lakes and mountains on both sides of the ditch, feeling relaxed and happy.

This ditch was dug by Qingji's order in his early years. His original intention was the same as that of Wu Wangfu in history, in order to go north to fight for hegemony and directly enter the Central Plains from Hangou.

However, for so many years, the military significance of Hangou is not great, but it has served as an important transportation affairs.
