Rensheng Sheng Ming said Shun.

In later generations, because Emperor Shun was born in Yudi, it was also called Yu Shun.

Although in many wild historical rumors in the world, Emperor Shun created a lot of retrogrades, saying that he imprisoned Emperor Yao and stood on his own, and isolated Emperor Yao's son Danzhu, so that Emperor Yao's father and son could not see each other, so that he had to establish himself as the emperor strongly.

However, in the mainstream annals of the world, Emperor Shun's character and merit can be called the most of the five emperors.

First, Emperor Shun was the most filial, and Shun Shi repeatedly abused his parents and brothers without resisting, and finally reformed his parents and brothers.

Second, Emperor Shun loved the people, the law was peaceful and just, and he had many deeds.

Third, Emperor Shun is generous and benevolent, which can be called a model of royal road, and his deeds are also like clouds.

Fourth, Emperor Shun lived a long life, and at the age of 61, Dai Yao was the co-lord of the world, reigned for 39 years, and died in the wilderness at the age of 100.

In terms of the world, Emperor Shun was famous for his virtue and filial piety, and he was also an ancient saint king who was generous and moderate.

It's just that Emperor Yingzheng's sacrifice this time was not in the place where Emperor Shun died of illness.

It's on the north shore of Yunmeng.

The wilderness of the cangwu, between the peaks and the counties. Luo Yan nine moves, each leads a stream, Xiu gully negative resistance, different ridges with the same potential, visitors are suspicious, so it is called Jiuzhi Mountain.

And Jiuzhi Mountain is thousands of miles away from the northeast bank of Yunmengze, where Yingzheng is located, and there is a vast cloud and smoke Yunmengze barrier, so it is only time-consuming and meaningless to want the taming and hunting camp under the flower girl to reach the wilderness.

After all

Those who are in power, even if it is a sacrifice, are more seeking political goals.

Therefore, this festival takes the 'hope ceremony'!

Lookout, the specific ritual of sacrificing mountains and rivers is also, but throughout the ages, the tombs of the holy kings and sages are generally called sacrifices, and the word "hope" is rarely used.

This is also the first of its kind for Lis.

This ceremony was very grand and grand.

At the same time, it is not the same as the past sacrifice, before the first emperor arrived in Hengshan County, he notified the Hengshan County Guard in advance, and all the county officials of the Wangji County could participate in this ceremony, and the nearby people were allowed to go to watch.

When this order was written, the government and the people were all shocked.

At the same time, they were very happy.

In this great land of mountains and rivers, whether it is officials or people, it is almost impossible to see the emperor, and you can also see the emperor in person to the grand ceremony, which is something that many people dare not think of, especially what makes many officials and people excited, the emperor wants to sacrifice Emperor Shun.

Who is Emperor Shun?

It is the royal way, the lenient government, the love of the people, and the justice of the law.

The world has complained about Qin for a long time.

The world's desire for leniency and probation has also been going on for a long time.

Now that the emperor has released this message, how can they not feel excited?

Time.

Whether it was a country man or a hunting and fishing household, they all stopped their livelihood and rushed towards the north shore of Yunmengze.

The pomp and circumstance is unprecedented.

It's just that compared to the excitement of the outside world, the courtiers who followed Yingzheng on the tour had a lot of objections to the sacrifice of Emperor Shun, at least in terms of some of the first emperor's past actions, the first emperor did not like Emperor Shun, especially nine years ago, the first emperor passed by Yunmeng to the Xiangshan Temple of Dongting Lake, and was furious when he encountered a strong wind.

At that time, he directly ordered to punish Yu Shun.

All the trees on Xiangshan were cut down, and all the nearby households were slaughtered.

And this time when he came to Yunmeng Yao to sacrifice Jiuzhi Mountain, and carried out such a grand sacrifice to Yu Shun, the contrast in front was too great, which couldn't help but make many courtiers suspicious.

What exactly did the First Emperor want?!

Compared with the other people's suspicions, Li Si seemed very calm.

He knew the true intentions of the First Emperor.

It's just a sacrifice to repent of the mistakes of the year, in order to regain the trust of the people of Chudi, but this is only an expression, but in fact, the goal hidden deep in the heart is to carry out a surprise attack on the hiding place of the fugitive nobles, and gather the nearby people under the pretext of sacrifice, and then sweep away the hiding place of the fugitive nobles that had been identified earlier.

At present, Ying Zheng and Li Si, Yao Jia and other ministers, do all kinds of missionary rituals, the imperial historian and the guard Yang Duanhe, then led three thousand plainclothes scouts to secretly investigate the hiding place of the nobles fleeing Xiaoju, and at the same time Lang Zhong ordered Feng Zai to be responsible for the communication and response, when the first emperor's brigade crossed the Huaishui, Yang Duanhe and the weak men and horses have all scattered to the grassy islands and valleys around Yunmengze, and the rest of the patrol camp entered the north shore of Yunmengze with great fanfare.

However, the soldiers of this patrol camp were divided into rounds, and they did not explain the number of troops to the outside world, so except for a few officials who knew about it, most of the accompanying officials did not know the real people on the patrol, but if they really had the heart, they could actually detect some situations.

The time of sacrifice is near.

On the north shore of Yunmeng, which was crowded with people, several middle-aged men in simple clothes looked at the solemn altar in front of them, their eyes full of disdain.

One of them, a man wearing a high crown, sneered, "Da Qin's qi is exhausted. ”

"What about the First Emperor? Delusional hope that through a sacrifice, he will win back the hearts of the people of Chudi? It's a dream. ”

"The First Emperor is still scared after all."

Xu Yi on the side lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu, be cautious." ”

Lu Zhonglian said disdainfully: "There is injustice in my heart, don't say it, and there are people who know each other well, what is there to scruple about?" ”

"And I'm wrong."

Xu Yi smiled bitterly, but did not answer.

Lu Zhonglian was a famous scholar in Qi that year, after Qin unified the world, he set up a doctoral palace and invited him, but Lu Zhonglian resolutely refused, and even directly retired to the mountains and forests, in order to firmly express his heart of not Qin, so he was also quite prestigious among the nobles of the Six Kingdoms.

Looked at.

Lu Zhonglian showed a hint of pride in his eyes.

He sneered, "The First Emperor is old. ”

"How domineering was the first emperor in the past, how could he have put the three emperors and five emperors in his eyes? At the beginning of the founding of the Great Qin, he took himself the "emperor", thinking that he was both the "three emperors" and the "five emperors", and he did not demean the "five emperors" on the stone carvings in various places. ”

"But now?"

"It's not like you're going to come to sacrifice obediently."

"When Yan Lu Sheng said that he could get the book of 'Hu Ye, the Dead Qin', the First Emperor immediately ordered Meng Tian to send 300,000 troops to the north to attack the Xiongnu, and slightly take the Hetao land.

"But this year, the First Emperor has become weak."

"And"

Lu Zhonglian laughed and said indifferently: "A few months ago, there was a rumor in the world, I don't think it was groundless, it was the Qin envoy who was passing by Huayin, someone stopped the envoy with a jade bi and said, 'Please give this bi to Zhuchi Jun' and said, 'Zulong will die next year'." ”

"And that piece of jade is exactly the one that the first emperor lost in the Xiangjiang River eight years ago."

"That's why this sacrifice is happening."

Listening to Lu Zhonglian's inside information, the surrounding nobles were thoughtful.

Xu Yi was shocked: "According to Brother Lu's words, the first emperor's sacrifice this time is for repentance?" ”

Lu Zhonglian nodded and said, "That's right." ”

"Qin Zheng has no way, so eight years ago there was a 'Dongting Fury', this was Emperor Shun's warning to the first emperor, but Ying Zheng did not think so, and also humiliated Emperor Shun, which must be a loss of morality, so there is a loss of jade in the back, this jade reappears, and there is a corresponding proverb, this is Emperor Shun's spirit in the sky to warn him, and retribution is imminent."

"How can Yingzheng not panic?"

"Therefore, Ying Zheng had to sacrifice and repent to Emperor Shun in order to ask for forgiveness."

Xu Yi nodded and said, "I see." ”

"No wonder the First Emperor has a situation of worshipping Emperor Shun during this parade."

"It's just that Emperor Shun didn't die of illness in Jiuzhi Mountain? Why do you want to sacrifice on the north shore of Yunmeng? ”

Lu Zhonglian chuckled lightly, and said quite complacently: "You don't know this, the best place to worship is indeed Jiuzhi Mountain, but how contemptuous Yingzheng was of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors in the past, if he went to Jiuzhi Mountain to worship in person, wouldn't it damage the dignity of the emperor?" Therefore, the choice of the sacrificial site is particularly crucial. ”

"It is not only necessary to express sincere repentance for the 'Dongting Fury', but also to protect the emperor's dignity from being lost, this location is actually very difficult to choose."

"But Qin Ting is a capable person."

"They know that if they are too far away from Dongting Lake, it will be difficult to get Emperor Shun's forgiveness, and they will not be able to reflect their sincerity to Emperor Shun, and too close will damage the dignity of the emperor, so Yunmeng has become the best place to worship Emperor Shun from afar, because although Yunmeng is not Dongting, it is not far from Dongting, it is a place where you can take into account 'sincerity' and 'face-saving', and it is also a place where you can achieve the best of both worlds."

"That's why this sacrifice is set in Yunmeng."

"The reason why the county officials are allowed to watch with the nearby people this time is also to seek Emperor Shun's forgiveness to the greatest extent."

Listening to Lu Zhonglian's explanation, everyone also suddenly realized.

couldn't help but admire Lu Zhonglian again and again.

Lu Zhonglian smiled faintly, looking light-hearted, as if this opinion was very common to him.

But in fact, it is difficult to hide the smugness in his eyes.

Listening to the compliments of everyone around Lu Zhonglian, a middle-aged man on the side frowned slightly, he didn't think that Lu Zhonglian's explanation was right, and he only felt that it was ridiculous, if the first emperor was really so easy to admit his mistakes, how could they be afraid of winning the government like a tiger? Don't dare to do too many actions at all?

After all, it's just a scholar's opinion.

Kui Che frowned, staring at the front.

Where they could not see it really, the chariot of the First Emperor had already appeared.

At this moment, the north shore, which was already restless, shouted like a tide in an instant, and it has not been cut off for a long time.

In front of everyone's eyes, Ying Zheng appeared in everyone's sight, and the audience instantly fell silent, Ying Zheng did not say anything, and solemnly stepped on the altar of worship.

He faced the southern sky and read out the memorial text carefully written by Prime Minister Li Si.

The sacrificial text praised Emperor Shun's filial piety, praised Emperor Shun's love for the people and virtue, praised the royal road and politics laid down by Emperor Yao and carried forward by Emperor Shun, and praised Emperor Shun's Zhongzheng peace who allowed Gaotao to enforce the law.

The sacrifice is over.

Ying Zheng vigorously recited a declaration that moved everyone.

"Daqin's new policy, inheriting the way of heaven and conforming to the people's will. Enforce the county, the world is a law, and An Dunmian. From now on, he will learn from Emperor Shun and rule Wuji -——"

Ying Zheng's high-pitched voice echoed in the valley, and the cheers around him were enthusiastic, which had instantly overwhelmed the mountains and Daze.

Compared with the cheers of the surrounding households, Lu Zhonglian and the others were displeased.

Because of the last paragraph of Yingzheng's declaration, there is clearly no idea of correcting, and there is no sign of turning to the royal road, but he is unashamedly believing that the practice of 'counties' and 'one law' implemented by Daqin is in line with heavenly principles and conforms to the will of the people.

Lu Zhonglian scolded angrily: "Arrogance, dare to sacrifice Emperor Shun so half-heartedly, the tyrant Yingzheng is doomed to die." ”

"It's ridiculous not to change the way of governance, not to change the way of governance, not to do benevolent government, not to do the royal way."

"Tyrannical Qin, Tyrannical Qin!"

Lu Zhonglian was already angry and stomped his feet.

He thought that when he came this time, he could see Ying Zheng bow his head and admit his mistakes, but how could Ying Zheng admit his mistakes at all? It was clearly on the pretext of sacrifice that he was openly promoting Daqin's own etiquette, and he didn't have the slightest idea of correcting it.

It was decided to go ahead on the road of tyranny.

Xu Yi and the others were also displeased.

Only Kuicher.

He repeated the last words of the First Emperor's proclamation.

He always felt that these words meant a lot.

I just didn't expect it for a while.

The more so.

The more impatient he became.

He had a vague feeling that they were missing something.

He did not continue to stay on the north shore of Yunmeng, and left directly after this worship was over.

Walking on the road where the figure was hurrying, Kuaicher muttered, "What's the problem?" Why can't you think of it for a while? Judging from the news I got a few days ago, the army of the First Emperor has long been hidden in plainclothes after crossing the Huaishui, I am afraid that he is secretly investigating the whereabouts of the nobles of the six countries such as us, but the heart of the government, who does not know the nobles of the six countries such as us? Preparedness has been prepared for a long time. ”

"Even if Ying Zheng can find some clues, when the real army arrives, he can only catch some old and weak women and children with side branches."

"It's hard to hurt the roots."

"And most of our restorers are hiding in coastal mountains and rivers, such an undercurrent, even if the Qin army has hundreds of thousands of people, I am afraid it is difficult to do anything, so I should be calm and calm, laughing at the Qin army like a headless fly, why does it make me so uneasy at this time? Something is wrong. ”

Kui Che frowned.

He thought about it in his mind, but he didn't think anything was wrong.

It's just that the irritability in my heart has never stopped, which also bothered Kui Che very much, and after thinking for a while to no avail, Kui Che also gave up, just thinking that he cared about it.

Night.

Ying Zheng's camp tent was brightly lit.

A small pilgrimage party dispersed.

The number of officials attending the meeting this time is not large, but the weight is extremely heavy, Prime Minister Li Si, Imperial Shi Dafu Dun Weak, Tingwei Shi Lu, Dianke Yao Jia, and Weiwei Yang Duanhe, are all important ministers ranked among the three princes and nine secretaries, and this court meeting is actually discussing only one thing.

Investigation of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms in the area around Jingchu and Yunmengze.

And at this small court meeting, it was also made clear for the first time that Wuyue and Yue would be the important places for future searches.

And after the completion of this small court meeting, Ying Zheng deliberately left two people.

The first is that the imperial historian is weak, and the second is the imperial lieutenant Shi Lu.

Inside the big tent.

The kings and ministers sat facing each other.

Ying Zheng looked murderous.

Today, the weather has cooled down too much, people are a little cold, and their heads are now groggy.

Plus, the book is going to be renamed.

The National Day is over.

What this chapter owes should be made up the day after tomorrow.

(End of chapter)
