Chapter 252 What grade is also worthy of sealing Zen
Li Shimin solved the 20th Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and now he is completely idle.
The line of Li Cunqiao of the Later Tang Dynasty, as well as the branch of the Southern Tang Dynasty, were not in a hurry at all.
Anyway, for Lao Li, the Tang Dynasty is the Tang, and you are a little later than the Tang Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty......
It's not a thing to always play cards like this, although Lao Li said that he wanted to lie down and not look at the Southern Tang and Hou Tang, but every day Li Yu and Li Mingda dangled in front of his eyes, he always felt that his brain was buzzing.
Out of sight and out of mind, he asked Liu Bang and the three of them to think of a way, after all, they haven't cleared the customs in the Han, Song and Ming dynasties.
Since Li Shimin wanted to lie down, the pressure naturally came to Zhao Kuangyin.
"Then go to my nephew." Zhao Kuangyin thought of his good nephew Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng, and his brain was buzzing.
It's not that he hasn't read the history books, and when he first saw the true sect of Benji, Zhao Kuangyin sat in front of the desk and thought about it for ten days and ten nights, and he didn't understand where Zhao Heng came from to seal Zen.
The so-called Feng Zen refers to the building of a round altar on the top of Mount Tai to report the merits of the emperor to the heavens, so it is called 'sealing'. On the hill at the foot of Mount Tai, a square altar was built to express the merits of the emperor to the earth, so it was called 'Zen'. There are Jin Ce, Yu Jian, on which the emperor said to the heavens, Jin Ce, Yu Jian documents with "gold mud silver rope" or "stone mud gold rope" sealed, buried in the ground. Sima Qian's "Historical Records and Feng Zen Book" also has a record of "Feiying Tengshi, Golden Clay and Stone Records".
A stone three feet high and one foot high will also be erected on Mount Tai, which is engraved with the merits of the emperor. It reads: "Serve with courtesy, stand up with righteousness, do things with filial piety, and educate the people with benevolence." Within the four guards, it is not a county, four yi, eight barbarians, Xianlai tribute, and the sky. The people are resting, and the heavens are forever. ”
It probably means that the emperor treated God respectfully, filial piety to his parents, justice to others, benevolence and righteousness to the people, unified the world, and the country had a large population, so that foreign countries came to pay tribute...... In short, they are all words that praise the emperor's noble morals and great achievements.
Before Song Zhenzong, there were a total of five emperors in Fengchan, namely Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, Han Wu Emperor Liu Che, Han Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu, Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
These five emperors, at least when they were enshrined in Zen, were all outstanding heroes.
Even the darker Ying Zhenghei has to admit that Qin Shihuang unified the six countries - what face do you Song Zhenzong have? Not to mention the Six Kingdoms, just Liao and a national soldier came to the city, and after winning the battle, he would send New Year's coins to others, and he still wanted to seal Zen? I really don't want to lose my face.
Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't hold back, he really didn't know where his good nephew came from this face.
Before Song Zhenzong, the emperors were at least a little self-aware, and they knew that their merits were not worthy, so they did not go to the Zen Confession. Like Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji Feng Chan, they were all Hai Nei Chengping, invincible opponents in all directions, no matter what happened to them later, but at least at that time, they were still qualified to seal Zen.
But since Song Taizong ...... After Zhao Guangyi of Song Chezong ascended the throne, he hinted to the ministers more than once, should I be enshrined? In short, under all kinds of hints and eyebrows, in the first year of Yongxi, more than 1,000 Taishan people first asked the emperor to seal Zen. Then the hundred officials also went to the table three times to request the sealing of Zen.
Zhao Guangyi originally wanted to show his modesty, but he was afraid that if he was modest, the ministers would really take it seriously, so he agreed with a hum. The Hanlin Scholar has already set the ritual steps for sealing the Zen, and the road from Kaifeng to Mount Tai has also been repaired, so this matter is not surprising to have an accident - the palace was struck by lightning and caused a fire, in the eyes of the ancients, this is the punishment of God to the emperor, so the sealing of the Zen can only be postponed.
After that, due to the frequent occurrence of famines in various places, the Yongxi Northern Expedition after the first Northern Expedition was declared a failure. Coupled with the uprising of Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun, after some tossing, the Great Song Dynasty could no longer afford the cost of sealing Zen, so the dream of sealing Zen of the Sorghum River Cheshen could only be declared stillborn.
In fact, what can you say about him when he is a Zen canon? And God boasting of his car skills? A donkey cart can catch shrimp households in the Gaoliang River with the elite cavalry of the Liao State, right? If you look at it from this angle, then Zhao Guangyi really blows.
Escaping in a donkey cart is also a Western scenery in ancient and modern times.
In fact, it's not incomprehensible, Zhao Guangyi's ascension to the throne is a bit unclear, at least the yellow mud fell into the crotch of his pants. In order to prove the legitimacy and correctness of his accession, can he not prove it with Feng Zen? The way to try to use merit has been taken, isn't this the Northern Expedition not fought? Internal affairs don't work, there are big uprisings all over the place, and Zhao Guangyi is also bitter in his heart.
Therefore, this can be regarded as the wish of two generations to be added to one person, Zhao Heng, who has his father's expectations and took over his father's throne, naturally inherited his father's dream of sealing Zen.
But Zhao Kuangyin didn't think so, he didn't think about the hardships of his younger brother or nephew at all, and he just looked at their father and son with colored glasses.
Phew, my brother Li hasn't even sealed Zen, where did you get such a big face?
But then again, it's not a bad thing for Zhao Heng to go to Feng Chan, at least he successfully disgusted Kang Mazi and Chen Hongli.
"That'...... Just go to Song Zhenzong? Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to make a straight flush and looked at Zhao Kuangyin hesitantly: "I said Lao Zhao, I'm not worried about anything else, I'm mainly afraid that you won't be able to stand it." ”
Although Lao Zhu said that his words sounded like he was concerned, if you taste it carefully, you will hear a little schadenfreude in it.
He Zhu Yuanzhang dared to pat his chest and say that among the future generations, there are those who are ambitious and talented, those who like to work, and those who love side jobs, but his mother does not have this kind of shamelessness to the extreme.
Looking at it this way, Da Ming is far better than Da Song.
Zhu Yuanzhang's view of future generations is very simple - as long as it is stronger than the Song Dynasty.
But there is nothing wrong with it, at least the entire Ming Dynasty from Hongwu to Chongzhen, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures are firmly in hand.
Da Ming: No matter how rich your Song Dynasty is and how economically developed it is, I just need to say that I have the sixteen states of Yanyun, which can make it easy for you to break the defense.
"What can't I stand with? That's not my son anyway. Zhao Kuangyin sneered twice: "If he were my son, maybe I would still feel shameless, the problem is that he is Zhao Guangyi's son of Xinqiu." ”
Well...... Lao Bianliang is a white flag, and when he speaks of Henan dialect, it is an authentic.
"It's nice to be a brother that you can see that." Liu Bang squeezed his eyebrows on the side: "I don't feel embarrassed, as the saying goes, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't be a horse and a cow ......for your children and grandchildren."
"You don't have to be embarrassed, these thousands of years belong to your Liu family's highest average." Li Qing, who was sitting next to Ying Zheng and fighting Contra Douluo with him, glanced at Liu Bang and complained.
What he said was the truth, there will always be people in later generations who boast that there is no faint king, in fact, it is the nonsense of the old and the young. After tearing off the fig leaf, there is not much difference between the emperor of Obiqing and Obiming.
If you really talk about the level of the emperor, then the Liu family is really a scorpion baba - the only one. Except for those underage emperors who didn't play soy sauce in person, most of them are hands with means, and their personalities are also more political creatures.
The only good-natured and kind-hearted Liu Ying, what happened is also well known.
"Then it's decided, let's go to Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng." Li Shimin finally made up his mind.
Li Qing doesn't care, anyway, he's a little tired of staying at home, just so he can go out for a walk, why not do it?
……
The first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, October.
After the alliance of the Yuanyuan, Zhao Heng originally thought that this was a proud feat, and he was very proud, and he admired Kou Zhun who made the alliance very much. Unexpectedly, one day, Wang Qinruo said to him: "The alliance under the city, "Spring and Autumn" is ashamed. There is nothing more shameful than the act of Lanyuan, and the alliance under the city with the respect of ten thousand vehicles! He also said that Kou Zhunli's invitation to Zhao Heng was a "desperate gamble", and Zhao Heng was unhappy from then on.
In February of the third year of Jingde, Kou Zhun was dismissed as "no minister".
A few days later, Zhao Heng asked Wang Qinruo again: "Then what should I do now?" ”
Wang Qinruo speculated in his heart, feeling that Zhao Heng should be a little disgusted with the use of soldiers, so he deliberately used words to squeeze Zhao Heng and said: "If the official family wants to use troops to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, the shame can be completely washed away." ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Heng couldn't do it.
If I can recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, or sign the alliance under the city after winning the battle of Lanyuan?
But Zhao Heng is good at having a good temper and doesn't treat Wang Qinruo as well. He thought for a moment, and then asked Wang Qinruo to think about whether there was an alternative to the next position.
So Wang Qinruo fooled Zhao Heng and said: "Then the official family had better be Feng Chan, come to subdue the four seas, and praise Yidi, so that he does not dare to underestimate my Great Song Dynasty." ”
After finishing speaking, he was afraid that Zhao Heng would not agree, so Wang Qinruo said that Xiangrui could be artificially made. Zhao Heng thought about it and agreed to Wang Qinruo's suggestion, but he was worried that Prime Minister Wang Dan would object. (Note 1)
Wang Qinruo volunteered and claimed to have persuaded Wang Dan. After Zhao Heng learned about it, his heart was still not steady, so he summoned Wang Dan to the banquet, and when the banquet was in full swing, he ordered someone to take out a bottle of wine and give it to Wang Dan and said, "Take it back and enjoy it with your wife and children!" When Wang Dan returned home, he opened the wine bottle and found that it was full of beautiful pearls, and he had to remain silent about the upcoming ceremony.
For such a confession, Zhao Heng did not hesitate to bribe his courtiers with the respect of the emperor......
This is a specialty of my Great Song Dynasty and I have to taste it.
After that, Wang Qinruo and others repeatedly faked the Tianshu Fu Rui incident, falsely claiming that the Book of Heaven came to the world, the first month of the first year of Dazhong Xiangfu, Zhao Heng said to Wang Dan and Wang Qinruo that last year he saw the gods descend and said that when there was a book of heaven descending, just now the ministers said that the rabbit in the south of the Zuo Chengtianmen House hung with yellow silk, and it was immediately the book of heaven, so Zhao Heng issued an edict to amnesty the world and change the Yuan Dazhong auspicious charm.
If you want to talk about the program, it can be regarded as letting Zhao Heng understand it. I don't know who secretly encouraged Yanzhou's father Lu Liang and other 1,278 people to come to the palace, knelt on the ground and wept blood, and begged Zhao Heng to seal Zen.
It was a scene where gongs, drums and firecrackers rang out...... It's a string.
In short, the scene must be grand, and it must highlight that a Feng Zen is "what everyone expects". If you don't mobilize some people to knock on the ques and beg, you will be embarrassed to talk to people about the people's hearts.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is acting, but as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, you'd better not think about it.
If you must think, don't say it;
If you have to think and talk, then don't act;
If you think and talk and act on it, then don't really see anything.
Don't be surprised if you don't follow any of the above rules.
After receiving the "bloody plea" from his parents and fellow villagers, Zhao Heng said very reservedly: "This is a big deal, you can't talk nonsense." ”
After Zhao Heng euphemistically said that he "didn't want to seal Zen", Shao Ye, the governor of Yanzhou, led his subordinate officials and Yanzhou Jinshi Kong Wei and others to invite him; Prime Minister Wang Dan led 24,000 and 70 civil and military officials, military generals, state and county officials, Fanyi, monks, and senior citizens to Dongshangmen, asking for Mount Tai, but Zhao Heng issued an edict again and refused to allow it. Four more expressions of implory, first Zhao Xiang, the palace attendant, asked for Feng Zen, but Zhao Henggong did not answer. So Wang Dan and the others earnestly persuaded him: "The ceremony of sealing Zen has been abandoned for a long time, if it is not for the Holy World Chengping, how can it be lifted?" ”
It probably means that there has been no Zen for many years, if it is not to welcome the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty, how can it revive the grand event of Zen?
When Zhao Heng heard this, his eyes lit up.
I really single-handedly created the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty?
Wang Dan looked at Zhao Heng with a complicated face, and his heart was mixed.
It's okay to lie to your courtiers, don't lie to yourself. It really doesn't matter if the courtiers are deceived by you, just make a haha. But I hope you wipe the corners of your eyes after typing this paragraph, and don't let the tears fall on the edict.
The heart is complicated, but the face is always passable. Even if Zhao Heng is shameless and deceives himself again, it is still the saint of today, and everyone still expects him to make a fortune.
So, under the flickering of the ministers and the pleas of the people, Zhao Heng reluctantly agreed to go to Mount Tai to do some personal affairs in October this year.
The emperor kept a low profile, but the courtiers certainly couldn't think so. Going to Tarzan for something? What else could it be? Isn't it just Zen canonization?
Under each other's tacitly acknowledgement, the court machine of the Great Song Dynasty was officially launched and began to prepare for the emperor's enshrinement of Mount Tai.
Feng Zen is a big job, but it doesn't mean that taking a tour group to Mount Tai and knocking two will be pulled down. According to the experience of Tang Xuanzong Li Longji sealing Zen, the Zen Sealing Ceremony is not only a Zen sealing, but also a declaration of the national strength of Tang Xuanhe from all over the world. It was accompanied not only by civil and military officials, royal relatives, but also by foreign envoys.
And the sealing of Zen is not a simple sacrifice to heaven and earth, the whole ceremony takes seven days or more, which can be described as a huge test for a country's treasury.
But the monarchs of the Great Song Dynasty didn't care much about the problem of the treasury, in short, it was a rich, forty years of life and gathering, and the silver saved by the treasury was not spent for today?
However, none of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty thought about using this silver to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, instead of wasting it on the meaningless and ridiculous whitewashing of the peace, which can be said to be very sad.
