At the foot of Mount Tai, the morning dew has not yet dispersed.

Zhao Zihu and his good brother Wang Li galloped in front, followed by Han Fei and Chun Yuyue, as well as a group of Confucian doctors.

After that, there were 500 iron-clad cavalry warriors.

These 500 cavalry soldiers are not Zhao Zihu's guards, and he, a son who has no merit, does not deserve to enjoy 500 servants in Daqin.

They used to be Wang Qian's guards, and now they are the guards of the good big brother Wang Li, because he inherited the title of Marquis of Wu Chengche intact, and the treatment that Yingzheng gave to his mentor Wang Jian in the past naturally fell on Wang Li!

"Childe, in front of Liangfu Mountain, in ancient times, King Zhou Cheng sacrificed to the sky at the top of Mount Tai, and then sacrificed to the ground here."

Chun Yuyue slightly increased the speed of the horse, caught up with Zhao Zihu by half of the horse's body, pointed to a small low mountain not far away, and explained.

Zhao Zihu suddenly bowed his head and said loudly: "Good, just here, fake it!" ”

Leaning slightly, everyone rode to the foot of Liangfu Mountain, and each reined in his horse and turned down.

Han Fei stroked his beard, looked Liangfu Mountain up and down, and said in surprise: "No wonder, no wonder King Cheng of Zhou wanted to sacrifice here, but this is a natural altar!" ”

Zhao Zihu touched his bare chin, stroked his non-existent beard, and said in amazement: "I don't think so, this low mountain has edges and corners, and it doesn't look like it's natural." ”

"I'm afraid that when the king sacrificed to the land that week, he launched a civilian service of soldiers and cut this mountain into the shape of an altar."

"This kind of behavior, but half a point is not simple because of ugliness, and it is not only grass and trees that are hurt!"

This statement is quite skeptical.

Han Fei stroked his beard for a moment, followed his train of thought, and then looked at Liangfu Mountain, which looked like a natural altar, and sure enough, the more he looked at it, the more it looked like it was artificially chiseled.

It's just that after hundreds of years of wind and rain, and there are overgrown plants and trees, the traces of artificial chiseling have long disappeared, so it seems to be naturally formed!

Chun Yuyue and the Confucians looked at each other, and they were also dumbfounded by Zhao Zihu's words.

If this Liangfu Mountain is really the appearance of the altar that King Zhou Cheng launched his soldiers and civil service, what is the difference between it and the broken stone and cut down the tree when Yingzheng climbed Mount Tai yesterday?

It's carved out of a mold!

And what they said before [no need to be extravagant], "thrift is the best", and "no damage to the grass and trees] are all slaps in the face......

When Ying Zheng summoned them to discuss the great ceremony of sealing Zen, they argued endlessly, in fact, it was not all prevarication, it was indeed because the time was too long, and the specific details of King Zhou Cheng's sealing of Zen had long been lost, so it led to different opinions.

The public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable!

Among them, Confucius admired ancient rites and believed that kings should be thrifty and benevolent, perhaps wishful thinking, put the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, on King Zhou Cheng.

As for why the details of King Zhou Cheng's sealing have been lost, but the more ancient Three Emperors and Five Emperors have not been lost, in fact, the reason is very simple.

Because someone likes it, it's not lost.

Even if it is lost, I can make one up for you, and as long as it suits my doctrine, it is true.

Smart people do things, that's it, don't be unconvinced!

"Actually, for the king, thrift and benevolence are always right, right, teachers?"

Zhao Zihu saw the embarrassment of Chun Yuyue and the others, so he took the initiative to speak again.

Chun Yuyue and the Confucian scholars immediately bowed their heads in unison and said, "Gongzi's words are extremely ...... A king should be frugal and virtuous...... You can't go wrong at any time......"

Zhao Zihu gritted his teeth and beckoned behind him.

The good eldest brother Wang Lihui immediately greeted his iron-armored servant, carrying five grains and six animals, as well as a small bronze tripod, and climbed to the top of the mountain with Zhao Zihu.

Liangfu Mountain has a mountain road leading to the top of the mountain, and I don't know whether it was left by King Zhou Cheng's sacrifice at the beginning, or it was opened up by the nearby mountain people when they were chopping firewood.

Han Fei and Chun Yuyue, as well as all the Confucian scholars, followed behind Zhao Zihu, and everyone also tended to climb up.

At the top of the mountain, Zhao Zihu looked at the surrounding environment, and it was really a large platform like an altar: "Teachers, what should I do next?" ”

Chun Yuyue and the Confucian scholars were interested, arguing about the five grains and six animals, as well as how to place the sacrificial tripod and what direction it corresponded to, and explained to Zhao Zihu from time to time.

Zhao Zihu heard the fog cover of the clouds and mountains, and Danfeng's eyes were about to have mosquito coils, but he had to pretend to be stunned on his face, and waved his head and hands from time to time to show his humility and teaching.

After the grains and animals and the sacrificial tripod are arranged, the next step is to clear the altar and welcome the arrival of the earth gods.

Then, there is the ritual of sacrificing to the ground, all kinds of worship, every worship, and exquisiteness.

After the worship is finished, it is the sacrifice to declare his merits to the gods of the earth, and then discuss with the gods of the earth, you recognize me, I am the monarch of the world, that is the best......

Then, regardless of whether people agree or not, they put the sacrificial words into the dingzhong and burn them, followed by various worships, going through the previous rituals and sending the earth gods away.

"Well, after this set, I am indeed tired of half my life."

Zhao Zihu held his old waist and complained speechlessly.

Chun Yuyue and all the Confucian scholars were overwhelmed: "As a king, ordinary people can't bear it, and ordinary people can't bear it, otherwise how can you rule Wanwan Lishu?" ”

Zhao Zihu pinched his waist with his hands and stood up straight, and said with great joy: "Fortunately, I was not born a few years earlier, fortunately, I am not the eldest brother, otherwise this life will be really over, and I will die of exhaustion." ”

Chun Yuyue and the Confucian scholars bowed again, but did not answer.

They can't take this as courtiers!

Pedal Pedal –

Suddenly there was a hurried and chaotic sound of horses' hooves at the bottom of the mountain, and everyone was attracted to the attention and looked down the mountain in unison.

But I saw that it was Lang Zhongling Meng Yi, leading a team of Praetorian Guards and coming on horseback.

Meng Yi and Zhao Gao, like Ying Zheng, are both Ying Zheng's beloved ministers, and the two often take turns to accompany Ying Zheng, and today it stands to reason that Meng Yi should accompany him.

It's a bit confusing to suddenly come here now!

However, there were also Confucian scholars with lively brains, who seemed to understand something, and suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhao Zihu, and then looked left and right, and asked, "Where is Marquis Wu Cheng?" ”

Wang Li, a good big brother who was still playing experimental teaching with Zhao Zihu, had long disappeared at this time.

Zhao Zihu blinked his Danfeng eyes: "Maybe it's back to the camp, after all, he is going to follow the Marquis of Tongwu and accompany his father to the sacrifice land." ”

The Confucian scholar continued to ask: "Dare to ask Gongzi, where does Your Majesty want to sacrifice today?" ”

Zhao Zihu said blankly: "I don't know, my father didn't come according to the rules when Mount Tai sacrificed to the sky yesterday, who can touch his old man's temper, maybe just find a small hill and sacrifice." ”

As soon as his voice fell, Meng Yi's voice came up from the bottom of the mountain: "Who is on the mountain, go down the mountain quickly!" ”

"His Majesty the First Emperor is sacrificing to Liangfu Mountain today, and the idle people will leave early, and the royal car will arrive later!"
