Kaichun is estimated to be the busiest time for all Wei people, including the emperor Ran Min, no one can be idle.

The emperor's spring ploughing sounds fresh, but this is a national ceremony in ancient times, called "pro-ploughing", to express the meaning of the son of Shao farmers to persuade crops and pray for a good year.

The ancients were amazed at the regularity of objects, and always felt that there was a "hand of God" manipulating natural and human activities, and the operation of the fire was no exception.

In addition, there are wind, rain, thunder and lightning in the natural world, and there are blessings and misfortunes in the human world, so in order to pray for the eternal blessing of the world, there is a ritual of sacrifice.

When the sacrifice is to kill the animal, pay tribute to the firewood, light the firewood, let the burnt smell of the meat with the smoke floating up the clouds, the emperor smells the fireworks and the sweet fragrance of the meat, he will be merciful, and give peace and happiness to the world.

This, according to etiquette, Ran Min is going to the suburban sacrificial place on the day of spring ploughing, praying for good weather and abundant grains.

Therefore, the suburbs of Daliang City have been crowded with people, and the crowded water is impassable, and merchants, rangers, peddlers, pawns and local people from all over the country gather here to watch this annual spring ploughing ceremony.

Well, it's an annual event, but it was actually abolished as early as the Qin and Han dynasties. Spring ploughing is naturally available, but those lazy sons are not sacrificed during spring ploughing.

The high platform has been built, and Ran Min is wearing an emperor's crown dress and a crown on his head, domineering and awe-inspiring. He dragged his crown robe, and with the support of the two palace maids, he stepped on the high platform steadily, and the two palace maids went down, and he went up to the high platform alone.

Ran Min picked up the sacrificial document on the table, looked solemn, knelt on the futon, and faced the Ding furnace placed on the table, on which three incense sticks had been inserted, Ran Min opened the document and began to read the content of the sacrificial book in a subdued voice.

"Emperor Ran Min of the Minister, Emperor Taiyi of the East of the Nine Knocks, His Excellency the God of the High Firmament, the Great Wei of the Dimension, the fortune is far-reaching, and the salty collection of sentient beings dares to announce it in front of the Sun, Moon, Stars, Wind and Rain Division, the Holy Emperor Minghuang of the past dynasties, and said: Woohoo! But to benefit the people, to open the soil, there is a way to show, and there is only a kind of demonstrative. Fuwei God, Xi Fuxiang in the Three Realms, condescending to listen to humility, and being true in the ten directions. ”

"May the gods of yin and yang be unexpected, to show the full heart of selflessness. Macro mana, auspicious, responsive, spiritless. The wind and rain are smooth, there is no disaster, the five grains are abundant, and the six animals are prosperous. All the things that belong to the world will eventually become dependents, and all the people of the peaceful and prosperous world will make Xianzhen longevity! ”

"Grace is on the sky, the longevity of the celebration of Gaoming, the virtue overflows the world, and it is the prosperity of the prosperity. Choose today to pay homage to the saint, the four seas are forever quiet, and the music is healthy. Looking down on the gods, the majesty of the immortal mansion will avoid the catastrophe of the world. Not only my Wei country has received the immortal grace, but the people are also blessed with boundless blessings! Fu Wei is still feasting! ”

After reading it, Ran Min kowtowed nine times in a row, with a pious face.

He then slowly descended from the high platform, and with the help of a peasant, he took the plow, and began to make a crack in the somewhat wet earth. This is for show, after all, the kings of ancient times have done this kind of thing, according to Yao Shun, they are all cultivated, and they are no different from ordinary farmers.

Subsequently, two more cattle and sheep were killed, and six pig's elbows were sent to the altar, and Ran Min sincerely prayed to God.

According to the rules, on the day of the official ploughing, early in the morning, the emperor got a ceremonial dress and went to the Xiannongtan in the south of the city.

After performing the rituals such as sacrificing and enjoying the first farmer, the emperor came to the home field in front of the viewing platform, standing facing south, the household department of Shangshu knelt into the plow, the Liang Yin knelt into the whip, the emperor held the plow in his right hand, the left hand held the whip, the two old people in front of the ox, there were two farmers next to the plough, the back Liang Lingcheng worshiped the green box, the household servant was responsible for sowing seeds, under the guidance and escort of the six officials of the Ministry of Rites, Taichang Temple and Jinyiwei, in a drum music and praise song, three back and forth, and the pro-ploughing ceremony of "three pushes and three returns" was completed.

The emperor's personal ploughing is just a ritual, but Ran Min has really become a farmer ploughing the fields!

As for what household Shangshu knelt into the plow, Liang Yin knelt into the whip, the two old men in front of him led the ox, and there were two farmers supporting the plow...... Aren't these needed at all?

It's not like Ran Min hasn't farmed!

Get a chicken on your knees!

And this so-called "son pro-farming" is actually a ritual made by the Tartars.

As the king of a country, it is to hold the land in this hand.

"I didn't expect Your Majesty's movements to be so skillful! I'm sure I've practiced it many times before! "There are uninformed people who are full of emotion.

A farmer next to him sneered and said, "Brother, you look like you're from out of town, right?" Our Majesty is not a practicer, but a real cultivator! ”

"What? Didn't Your Majesty fight before? When did you ever do such rough work as ploughing the land again? ”

"Hmph, you don't know that, do you? His Majesty sleeps all night at night all year round, but whenever he is free, he likes to farm except for private visits to Weifu, often goes out to inspect the situation of farming, and from time to time wields a hoe to plow the soil, and plows the ground with an iron plow! ”

"That's right! And that's what I've seen with my own eyes! Your Majesty is truly a saint of the ages! Throughout the ages, every monarch has been ploughing in the spring, ploughing is just for show, who will really plow the land like Your Majesty? ”

Watching Ran Min seriously wield his whip seriously, whipped on the buttocks of the big buffalo, cleared the land and ploughed out one ravine after another, the people present were very emotional.

On the first day of spring ploughing, everyone was actually quite busy, especially the farmers.

Not a big beam, just up and down the Wei State, the local government and county government in the beginning of the spring, sent the officials to the county town next to the Chenghuang Temple next to the wasteland to set up a thatched official factory, the officials beat drums and gongs, blow and blow, carry the county officials and paper spring oxen, plows, from the yamen along the Yingchun Road to the official factory.

The masses along the road set off firecrackers and threw rice and soybeans to the ploughing cattle to indicate a bumper harvest in the new year.

After the spring cow is carried to the official factory, it is necessary to burn incense to lay the queen's soil, and the ceremony is three times and three bows.

The county magistrate took the lead, and the squires followed the worship in the back according to the ceremony, and then recited the prayer to the god of the earth, and then the county magistrate personally supported the plow, followed the spring ox, and performed the trial ox ploughing the field to show the start of spring ploughing.

The shouts of the onlookers resounded through the clouds.

After the county official tried the plow, the official lifted the paper spring ox to parade the street, reminding people that the new year begins, the grains are to be planted, and all industries are to be prosperous, everyone should be lazy, to meet the arrival of the first day of the spring ploughing production, after swimming in the streets and alleys, return to the county yamen to play the spring queen, and then burn the paper spring ox.

"Your Majesty, why don't you rest?" Cui Hao ran over and handed Ran Min a towel and a kettle, but Ran Min just shook his head and didn't accept wiping sweat and drinking water.

Ran Min wouldn't be so hypocritical!

In this public, so many people are watching, of course he has to set an example!

"Your Majesty, if you are tired, you can let other ministers do it for you. And the plow, in fact, the meaning is good, there is no need to be more serious. ”

Ran Min glared and said, "Go and go, don't get in my way." Today, I will plough two acres of land! ”
