Chapter 63 Taking the Valley as a Sacrifice to Initiate a New Deal and Ascending to the Ninth Five-Year Plan to Dingqianning
The ancients had a cloud: the king and grandson knew how to cook wine, and the villagers did not forget that they were busy with the beans, which is one of the 24 solar terms. Miscanthus is also a busy plant, and it is a critical time of the year to plant crops. Xinchen chose to take the throne ceremony on this day to warn the courtiers to always pay attention to the people's livelihood.
Before dawn, Xinchen was woken up by a commotion. Although after a night's rest, my body was still a little unwell, but I still struggled to get up. As soon as he walked out of the house, he saw Sun Chu running in a hurry, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Demon Clan has withdrawn, the Demon Clan has withdrawn!"
Xinchen knew that the demons would retreat, but he didn't expect Ah Xue to retreat from Hangu overnight so quickly. It seems that she doesn't want to stay here any longer, thinking of this, her heart is a little gloomy, but in an instant, she lifted her spirit and said to Sun Chu: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”
Sun Chu ran to Xinchen before stopping, he was a little out of breath, thinking that he was patrolling in Xicheng, and after discovering the situation of the demon retreat, he didn't rest for a moment, so he ran all the way. After relieving for a while, Sun Chu was still a little excited and said: "Your Majesty, I will go to the West City Gate to inspect at the end of this morning, and I found that the demon camp disappeared overnight, and the suburbs of the West City became clean, leaving nothing behind. ”
Xinchen said: "Got it." Then he patted Sun Chu on the shoulder and continued: "General Sun, although the demon soldiers have retreated, our army still needs to strengthen vigilance." Please lead a thousand men and horses to the exit of Hangu to build a guard post to monitor the movement outside the valley for a long time. ”
Sun Chu replied: "The last general has received the order, please rest assured Your Majesty!" and went out of the mansion in a hurry.
As soon as Sun Chu left with his front foot, Heshuo followed with his back foot, his face was embarrassed, and he said to Xinchen: "Your Majesty, today's ceremony has almost been prepared, but this sacrifice is a little difficult to handle." The day before yesterday, the battle collected all the cattle and dolphins in the city, and not a single sacrificial sacrifice could be found. ”
Xinchen replied: "It's okay, there is no sacrifice, then take the grain as a sacrifice." ”
Heshuo was a little at a loss, and said: "Your Majesty, there has never been a precedent for using grain as a sacrifice, and the sacrifice is so sloppy, I'm afraid that the ancestors will blame it, right?"
Xinchen said: "Heqing, the valley is the food of all the people, the most important thing in the world, how can it be said that it is hasty? We people live in the temple too high, too far away from the Li people, and we are used to the fragrance of wine and meat, I am afraid that we will forget what the valley is!"
Heshuo knew that Xinchen was beating himself through the matter of the grain sacrifice, so he hurriedly responded: "What Your Majesty said is that Weichen is shallow, so I will do it according to Your Majesty's wishes." He hurriedly retreated, for fear that he would make His Majesty unhappy if he said the wrong thing again.
Sending Heshuo away, Li Miao came from behind and said softly, "Childe, let's go." ”
Xinchen turned around, looked at Li Miao affectionately, and said, "Miao'er, this day has finally arrived, let's never separate again, okay?"
Li Miao looked back at Xinchen and said, "I will always accompany you, you give birth to me, you die and I die!"
Xinchen stood in the courtyard with Li Miao in his arms, letting the stars and the moon set, letting the sun rise, as if he had forgotten the passage of time. After a long time, Li Miao reminded softly: "Childe, we should really go." ”
Xinchen let go of Li Miao, picked up her jade hand, and walked out of the mansion together. Out of the mansion gate, Xinchen suddenly turned around, looked at this familiar mansion again, and then bowed deeply, and said silently: "Uncle Huang, let's go, let this mansion rest with you." Please rest assured, I will help you realize the wish of liberating the Terrans of the Western Regions, but no longer in war, but in my own way. Li Miao also bowed deeply, the hatred of the annihilation of the clan and the grace of nurturing were all released in this worship.
All the ministers in front of the palace gathered, and the offering table was already set, and there was nothing on the table except a handful of rice. The ministers were discussing in front of the offering table, but when they saw Xinchen and the two coming hand in hand, they immediately became silent. Xinchen walked to the offering table, turned to face the ministers, and said, "I know that you must be wondering why you only take a handful of rice to worship the ancestors, so let's solve your doubts first." The society is the land and the grain is the most precious things we rely on for survival. But we have lived in the temple for a long time, I am afraid that we have forgotten what the original Sheji was, and today we take the valley as a sacrifice to be listed and encourage me, never forget the Sheji, and never forget the common people!"
All the ministers bowed down and shouted, "Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Zhongqing is flat. When the ministers got up, Xinchen turned to the offering table, lit three sandalwood sticks and inserted them in the incense burner, knelt on the ground and bowed three times and nine knocks, and said in a loud voice: "The ancestors and the ancestors are above, please bless our clan with smooth wind and rain, and abundant grains!"
The ministers also bowed down and shouted in unison: "Please bless my clan with good weather and abundant grains!"
Xinchen then got up, bypassed the offering table and walked into the main hall, and the ministers got up to accompany him. Until the agarwood dragon chair in the hall, Xinchen stopped, stared at the dragon chair for a long time, and then turned around and sat down. The ministers have been listed in the palace according to their ranks, their hearts are swept away, and they say in a straight voice: "I don't like flashiness, so all those red tapes will be saved." I will not give up my position and serve as the emperor of the herdsmen. I don't seek merit, just for the peace of the world, so I will change the name of the country to Qianning!"
