Chapter 52: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens

There was another burst of shouting, and the momentum was monstrous.

Not long after the Son of Heaven drove away, just when everyone was unclear and discussing, a notice was posted at the gate of the inner city, explaining today's events.

"On the occasion of the handover of spring and summer, Your Majesty wants to hold a ceremony to worship the heavens, first, to sacrifice to heaven and earth, to protect the wind and rain of Great Qin, and secondly, to add officials to meritorious ministers and reward kindness. This is a matter of heaven and earth and temples, willing to share with the people of the world, there are people who want to visit the ceremony, they can go to watch it by themselves, and the army must not stop them along the way. ”

After some interpretation by several scholars, the people exploded in an instant.

"Your Majesty is really a virtuous monarch, acting above board, not avoiding the people, I should go to watch the ceremony as soon as possible, and see that Your Majesty has rewarded those people."

"Yes, yes, maybe some measures will be promulgated to benefit the people."

"Then let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to grab a good position later."

The suburbs of Xianyang, located in the north direction of Xianyang Daying, the south direction of the imperial palace, an auxiliary platform is 3 meters high, the main platform is 8 meters high, and the trapezoidal high platform with a base area of about 7,000 square meters is towering on it.

The high platform is all made of marble, glutinous rice paste, every 15 centimeters has a small step, 3 meters of drop has a wide platform, about 2 meters wide, can stand people.

The main steps leading to the highest point are all surrounded by white jade railings, showing extraordinary luxury.

At the foot of the platform, a stone tablet is erected in the east and west, and the east tablet is engraved with 3 words of "Fengfeng Reward Platform", and the west tablet is engraved with 8 big characters of "respecting heaven and loving people, and meritorious service is obvious".

There are many armor soldiers under the reward stage, the inner three layers, and the outer three layers are waiting for them, and there is also a armor soldier standing on each step, automatically isolating the four upward passages.

On the left side of the high platform, the former site of the original Afang Palace, next to the mausoleum of the first emperor, a 20-meter-high heroic tower echoes from afar, and under the tower is a luxurious cemetery paved with marble, covering an area of 400,000 square meters.

Among them, there are many tombstones, which are buried since the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and the bones or clothes of the soldiers who can be found in Daqin, and their names have long been engraved on the tower.

Between the reward platform and the martyr's tower, hundreds of thousands of soldiers lined up and stood under it, the momentum was magnificent, and the intimidating army was soaring into the sky, and the other three sides were the people who came to watch the ceremony one after another.

Among the people, there are famous people invited from Shuzhong, and there are low-level officials such as pavilion chiefs and tun chiefs of the counties and counties to which Daqin belongs, and these people have already been notified and have occupied a good position early.

There are also most of the local people in Xianyang, although it is a temporary notice, but the enthusiasm is higher than anyone else.

"Woo woo ......" Several rows of strong men carried huge horns and blew out, and the long and loud horn sound spread in all directions, followed by dozens of war drums.

The drums and horns heard each other, rendering a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and the majestic momentum gave people the feeling of overwhelming the mountains and seas, and also showed the grand occasion of today.

The sound of drums and horns gradually stopped, and Prime Minister Li Bin shouted: "The time has come, and the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven has officially begun!" ”

"Woo woo ......" was another trumpet.

After the horn sounded, Li Bin shouted again: "The first item of the ceremony of sacrificing to heaven - His Majesty the Emperor of Great Qin sacrifices to the Heaven and Earth Sect Temple to protect my foundation for ten thousand years." ”

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!" The army in the audience shouted, and the people's blood surged, and they shouted together.

Li Feng wore an imperial robe and walked out slowly: "Unfilial descendants win the child and worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, inherit the life of the son of heaven, shepherd all the people, patrol the Quartet, only cherish virtue, be anxious for the urgency of the people, seek the eternity of the community, remember the difficulties of the people, and ensure the well-being of the descendants......

In the name of the Great Qin Emperor, I should set an example for all the people, establish Chen Gang discipline, relieve the people, fulfill my duties, reward and punish clearly, and must protect the country and the people. ”

"Long live, long live, long live Your Majesty........"

"Whew!" After shouting more than 1,000 words, he still had to suppress his tone and frustration, full of emotion, Li Feng let out a sigh and couldn't help sighing: "This reciting the speech with emotion is really not done by people." ”

Ignoring the mountain and shouting long live, Li Feng retreated and rested for a while, preparing the second content.

He now regretted a little, these charters were made by himself in order to appear grand and incendiary, and now it seems that he really shot himself in the foot.

But looking at Qin Yu, the queen mother who was dressed up in the back, and Li Yanran, who was mixed in the crowd and looked at him with admiration in his eyes, he raised his momentum again.

For the throne, for thousands of years, people have been rushing to it, even at the cost of the lives of the nine clans.

Why? It's just the pleasure of waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, above anyone, and killing all people to seize power.

But what needs to be known is that it is not difficult to be an emperor, but it is difficult to be a good emperor.

Being a good emperor has always been a very tiring and tiring profession, and there are many things that need to be taken into account, and there are many things that need to be thought of.

When the charter was formulated, those guys still wanted to let themselves go to the stage alone, and they finished the whole process, but fortunately they insisted on their opinions at that time and used the method of authorizing the stage, otherwise they would have to die of exhaustion.

"The second content of the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky: the book of memorial to the fallen soldiers, please ask Taiwei Bai Zhan to come to power."

"It's up to me? It's my turn! ”

Bai Zhan was extremely excited, such an opportunity to show his face was rare, he tidied up the general's uniform on his body, and walked on stage like a proud rooster.

The content had already been prepared, and he just had to read it.

"The restoration of the Six Kingdoms, rebellion is rampant, thanks to the soldiers who sacrificed their lives and forgot to die, so that I did not lose the foundation of Daqin, every time I think of this, I am grateful.

Now, I have built a foundation again, built a martyr's tower, engraved the names, merits, and titles of the fallen soldiers, buried the grave under it, and paid tribute every year for future generations to never forget and be famous through the ages.

"Great Qin Wannian, Your Majesty Wannian, Long Live Long Live!"

"The third content of the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony: the compensation policy for the casualties, please come to the stage of the Great Situ Mengrui."

Meng Rui looked excited, walked on stage, and gave Li Feng a great courtesy, Li Feng smiled at Li Yanran, and gave him the holy decree that had been prepared long ago.

"Thanks to Your Majesty's grace, all the Great Qin soldiers who participate in the battle will be rewarded in addition to the twenty-four military merits.

All fallen soldiers shall be posthumously awarded the third rank of official title, and those who have wives and children, old and young, shall be given a death pension, and their parents and wives shall be supported for life, and shall not be bullied or discriminated against except for crimes.

Those who have biological children are raised by the state and will study and join the army in the future, but by choice, the granting of official positions will be preferred. If there are no biological children, any male in the family shall be selected as his heir, and the incense will be continued, and the reward shall remain as usual, and the death benefit shall benefit the family. ”

Disabled soldiers, depending on the size of their injuries, are either transferred to behind-the-scenes work, or return to their hometowns with honor, and their wives and children are supported by the state.
