Chapter Seventy-Four: Your Majesty has a book

After such a change, at this moment, the most important purpose of coming to Yuanqiu today: "to worship the sky".

On the contrary, it doesn't affect everyone's hearts so much.

Li Shimin granted the request of Ju Wentai and others.

These countries invited themselves to be vassals of the Tang Dynasty, of course, it was not as simple as expressing a few heartfelt words.

After returning to Chang'an, there will naturally be a government team headed by Fang Xuanling to discuss with the envoys.

The things involved, such as commerce, tax law, canonization, etc., cannot be explained in a few words.

Worship Li Shimin on the spot, more to show others.

In a few days, what happened today will spread to every corner of Datang.

With these two things that will surely be recorded in the history books of the historians, it has spread all over the world.

Li Er himself put down the name of the virtuous monarch who earned back with dignity, and the name of the "Heavenly Khan" holy monarch sent by Zhang Zheng and Ju Wentai.

It will also be sung by others.

The coming of all nations is a great honor for an emperor.

For Confucian scholars, isn't it the result of their years of educating the world?

Therefore, the next situation Zhang Zheng can already predict.

The family will definitely pay a lot of money to appease Li Er's anger.

With the popularization of movable type printing and the perfection of the imperial examination system, the huge number of scholars from poor families will gradually occupy most prominent positions in the empire.

Moreover, in Zhang Zheng's next layout, the Tang Royal Academy, which occupies an extremely important part, is also under construction.

In the next 10 or 20 years, there may not be any obvious changes.

But as Li Shimin said, Zhang Zheng is still young, and Li Shimin is also in the prime of life, thirty years, fifty years, and he can always see that day.

No matter how bad it is, Zhang Zheng still has Li Chengqian.

Since history can be changed, Li Chengqian's ending may not be unchangeable.

It has only been four years since Zhenguan, and there are still 13 years before Li Chengqian's rebellion.

It took thirteen years to change a person, and Zhang Zheng is very confident in this.

After these changes, everyone's hearts have become numb, and it is impossible to have another surprise.

And today's topic, under the urging of Li Chunfeng and Kong Yingda, officially began.

Li Shimin straightened his back, stepped up the steps of the altar step by step, and came to the center of the altar.

As the sound of Hongzheng's elegant ceremonial music echoed on the altar, fireworks also rose in the burnt wood stove, and Li Shimin began to welcome the gods.

It turned out to be Li Chengqian, the guy who acted as the congratulatory official.

Li Shimin knelt down and bowed before the main seat of the Haotian God card, and then went to the ancestors to offer incense and bow before the throne.

After returning to the throne, he bowed three times and bowed nine times to the gods.

After welcoming the gods, he offered jade and silk to the gods and ancestors.

Tai Changqing guided Li Shimin to wash and go to the shrine to give three incense gifts, and the deacon presented jade silk to the emperor.

The emperor went to the tablet of God and ancestors to pay tribute, bowed and bowed and returned to the throne.

After Neizan ascended to the altar, Li Shimin went to the main seat and the matching position accompanied by the driver.

Next is the first gift. First to the lord to wash the throne to receive the knight, the cleans, the polish, the knight, and then ascend to the altar to the wine honor.

The consul handed the knight in his hand to Li Shimin, and Li Shimin knelt down in front of the throne to offer the knight and perform three incense salutes.

At the same time, Si Zhu knelt down to read the blessing, the music stopped, and the music started after reading.

The procedure is so cumbersome that it makes people dizzy.

And this is the result of countless streamlinings.

It is said that during the Western Zhou Dynasty, it took a whole day to worship the heavens.

The first offering is followed by the second offering and the final offering, and the procedure is basically the same as the first offering, except that the blessing is not read.

After the final offering, the officials of Guanglu Temple played the blessing wine, played the blessing wine, and Li Shimin bowed and returned to the throne.

After drinking and receiving blessings, he wrote and sent it to God. Reading the blessings of the officials, the silk officials holding the silks, and the priests holding the writings, all of them were sent to the furnace for burning.

Li Shimin went to the burning seat to watch the burning of the sacrifices, and the internal praise was finished, which lasted for nearly an hour, and the complicated ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens officially ended.

For a whole hour, I listened to the mouth of the ceremonial official spit out all kinds of obscure prayers and blessings.

Zhang Zheng was drowsy, and most of the people who watched the ceremony were not much better than Zhang Zheng.

After all, everyone really basked in the sun for two hours.

The older ones, such as Yan Zhitui, Lao Li Gang, and Li Yuan and others, had already closed their eyes and snored.

"Rite over!"

As Kong Yingda said this sentence with a long tail note, everyone watching the ceremony finally began to come back to their senses.

Now that the sacrifice is over, it's time to go home.

Zhang Zheng yawned and took another silver gourd from the hand of Chen Yu, the leader of the guards behind him.

took a sip of the still cold grape wine, and was about to hand the silver gourd to Chen Yu.

But I saw that Li Chengqian, who was acting as a celebratory official, didn't know when he had already gotten into the crowd watching the ceremony.

Li Chengqian would not be polite to Zhang Zheng, and snatched the gourd from Zhang Zheng's hand, and then said: "Goo, goo, goo." ”

, is it also inherited for the Li family to grab wine and drink, and not leave a drop for others?

Li Shimin is like this, and Li Chengqian is still like this.

Zhang Zheng glared at Li Chengqian viciously.

"Hey, hey, I just said too much, and my throat is smoking."

Li Chengqian smiled and explained naturally.

"Tsk, out of breath."

Zhang Zheng said in disgust.

After the procedure of sacrificing to heaven is completed, it is impossible for Li Shimin to stand on the altar all the time, how hot it is.

Just as Li Shimin was about to step down the stairs, an official in a green robe took steps and walked under the altar.

With a sad look on his face, the official looked up at Li Shimin on the altar and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book. ”

The onlookers looked confused, could there be a third surprise today?

It's just a sacrifice for the sky, as for it?

Li Shimin's face didn't see any useful information, and he was silent for a while and said, "Come on." ”

"Weichen Taiyuan served Shi Peizong, impeached Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Zou Guo, and his son Zhang Zheng, a man from Weinan County.

Zhang Zhengzhi, a son of a good family, is fifteen years old. To flatter the throne of the magnates.

However, his slanderous words are flattering, bewitching the king, offering words in front of the emperor, and wantonly levying and issuing policies to harm the people, and his crime is also one.

As a powerful person of the Tang Dynasty, he put himself in danger in his neighbors, undermined the diplomatic relations between the Tang Dynasty and Gaochang, and surprised his friends.

Acting arrogantly, beating the prince, and disrespecting the clan, his three crimes are also three.

Zhang Gongjin, the Duke of Zou Guo, was the general who led the troops of the National Dynasty.

It should be the pillar of the country, but its leaders have many domineering actions. There is no way to teach children, and the harm is endless, and the crime is added to the first degree.

has always been a chaotic minister and a thief, only fighting for one thought, and being uncontrollable, but raising a tiger between elbows and armpits.

The ministers asked His Majesty to punish him for several crimes, and dismissed Zhang Zheng from the baron of Weinan County, and handed it over to Dali Temple for investigation. ”
