In the palace of the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, incense was burning in the incense burner, and the emperor was sitting at his desk, with a large stack of recitals in his hand.

"Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, the court pacified Lianyunzhai, it is really a matter of trouble. ”

The emperor was originally waiting for the news of the return of the north in the Jiedu Envoy's Mansion, but he didn't expect Tian Hongzheng to come over and say congratulations.

Lianyunzhai is indeed a headache for the imperial court, but when it was exterminated, why don't I know?

The emperor was frowning there, and Tian Hongzheng was smiling on the side.

The old treacherous and cunning envoy such as Wei Bojie will definitely not be the person who comes to the door to ask for a reward, this guy must have gotten the news, and Lianyunzhai is afraid that there has been no change, so he came to find out his bottom.

"There is no more of them, and no less of them. ”

The emperor took a letter from his side, Tian Hongzheng walked over to take it, opened it and saw that it was not the beginning and end of Lianyunzhai that he was expecting, but a letter from Henghai Jiedu envoy Feng Lizhen.

Among the towns of the world, Chengde, Fanyang, and Wei Bo are the most domineering, but in terms of strength, the strength of the Henghai Jiedu envoy has expanded rapidly in recent years.

Moreover, during the period of the God Emperor, Henghai Jiedu made Feng Lizhen's daughter enter the palace as a concubine, and Henghai Navy was supported by the imperial court and became a force restricting the three towns of Hebei.

Feng Lizhen's recital was shown to Tian Hongzheng, and the meaning of the emperor's actions made Tian Hongzheng ponder for a moment.

"Feng Lizhen said these two things, what do you think of them?"

There are two things on the recital of the Henghai Jiedu envoy, the first thing is that he pleaded with the emperor to send the king of Shu to Henghai to comfort the navy, and the second thing is that Feng Lizhen officially stated that after the emperor ascended the throne, he would destroy Tibet in addition to the traitorous eunuchs and demon queens, and the outside would be enough to boast of future generations.

Therefore, Feng Lizhen thought that the time had come to seal Zen, and the emperor should start to carry out the ceremony of sealing Zen and worship heaven and earth.

However, Li Xu didn't care.

Because of the thing of sealing Zen, I can't talk about it in detail.

This set of rituals to worship heaven and earth is said to be an ancient ceremony, but the first person who can be examined in the literature is Qin Shi Huang, and the second person is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

As for the further ones, there is no one.

Because most of this set of things is the invention of the Qi State Jixia School during the Warring States Period, there is an article called "Feng Zen" in "Guanzi" dedicated to this matter, and the time when this "Guanzi" was written was also the period from the Warring States Period to the beginning of the Western Han Dynasty.

China is so big, in ancient times, Yaodu Pingyang, Shundu Puban, Yaoshun's capital are all in Shanxi, and the summer capital and Shang capital can be determined in Henan, as for the Zhou people lived in Shaanxi first, and then moved to Henan, no matter from the literature or geography, they will not go to Mount Tai and Liangfu Mountain, which are all over Dongyi, to play any sacrifices.

In fact, there is a simpler way to distinguish, that is, the so-called "Eight Divine Lords" sacrificed by Qin Shi Huang back then, including the "Soldier Master" Chiyou, whose sacrifice locations are all within the territory of Qi State.

So whether it is the Qi country that is special and blessed to be loved by the gods, or whether this thing itself is made up by the people of the Qi country can be seen at a glance.

The people of Qi originally liked this set of Shinto things, and as early as the era of King Qi Xuan and King Qi Wei, they sent Fang Shi to the sea to find the three immortal mountains of Penglai, Yingzhou, and Abbot.

It is precisely because of this that Li Xu is not interested in Feng Chan.

Not to mention the cost of Feng Chan itself, there are many powerful feudal towns on the road to Mount Tai, especially the Pinglu Jiedu envoy and the Henghai Jiedu envoy.

This is obviously Feng Lizhen, an old guy, digging a pit for himself to jump.

Chinese dynasties, especially those established by the Han Chinese, were hard to escape the influence of the magnificent Qin and Han dynasties. Yu people are no exception, and the emperors before Li Xu were particularly keen on sealing Zen.

However, in the emperor's opinion, the emperor who is really capable does not need these things at all.

At that time, Han Gaozu first set the world, and invited the old people of the Qin Dynasty to ask them who the Qin Dynasty sacrificed to the Emperor of Heaven back then.

Those people said that it was a sacrifice to the four emperors of Qing, Bai, Red and Huang.

Han Gaozu shook his head directly and said, "How do I remember that there are five Heavenly Emperors?"

The group of people below couldn't answer what was going on. Han Gaozu said directly: "That's it, let's add one to them." ”

So the Black Emperor approached the revolutionary ranks of the Emperor of Heaven.

In Li Xu's simple aesthetic view, the so-called strong man is probably like this.

A word can be the law of the world, but a word can also be the law of the heavens, and a heavenly emperor is appointed.

"King Shu. Tian Hongzheng paused in his tone: "The identity is indeed a little embarrassing. ”

Li Xu ignored his sentence, the intimacy of the clan is an image that Li Xu has worked hard to maintain since he succeeded to the throne, the royal family infighting before the Yu Dynasty was too ferocious, and he killed the whole family at every turn, this cruel struggle situation made the political atmosphere extremely poor, so there must be a change here when Li Xu arrived.

"Naturally, this article can't allow him, the prince's honor, the emperor's family, he said that if he asks to go to the palace, he will go to the palace, isn't this the sister in the hall?"

Li Xu looked at Tian Hongzheng: "What about Feng Zen?"

"Your Majesty's deeds are indeed to the point where you should seal the world of Zen to ...... right."

Tian Hongzheng, the old fritter, didn't have a word of truth in his mouth at all.

"By the time I go to Feng Zen, all the feudal towns along the way will be gone. ”

Li Xu ended the discussion cleanly, the emperor just wanted to probe Tian Hongzheng's bottom, this Wei Bojie envoy has been too active recently.

Mention the news from the prison envoy that since Tian Hongzheng left Weibo Town, the surrounding feudal towns have all started to play Weibo's idea, especially Wu Wujun, the envoy of Chengde Festival, and Tian Hongzheng is still such an old god when he is surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards, Li Xu wants to know what this hole card is.

The two of them were fighting their hearts there, and an inner servant was passing it on the side.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Bai ......"

Since Yuan Zhi went north, Bai Lotian has been relatively busy, the emperor is in Taiyuan, many twists and turns have to be transferred from Bai Yujing, the pressure of transactional work is very great, there was Yuan Zhi in the past, the two shared together, and now it is a little difficult to play just by relying on Bai Letian.

Bai Lotian walked in in a panic with a fold in his hand.

"Your Majesty, great joy, great joy. ”

"Zhongshu Province is coming, the gangsters in the rivers and lakes are fighting in Yunzhai, the bandit leader Du stopped the cup and died, Taigong Chong is nowhere to be found, Mao Bingcheng, please surrender!"

Bai Lotian was overjoyed and handed over the two letters in his hand.

Li Xu glanced at Tian Hongzheng beside him, it seemed that the news had already spread, and he was the last to know.

There are three letters in total.

The first letter to mention the prison to make Si Luzi come over the secret fold, is Jiannan Sichuan West Jiedu envoy Li Congxian played, he said in the letter that Lianyunzhai civil strife, bandit leader Du stopped the cup did not know what to do, he has already sent Sichuan and Shu soldiers and horses in advance to clear the remnants of Lianyunzhai in Bashu.

Now the army from western Sichuan has surrounded Lianyunzhai, blocked the road up and down the mountain, and waited for further orders from the emperor.

There are also two letters from Bai Yujing, which are Han Gang, Li Jifu, and Lu Zhen's three people jointly signed a letter, saying that after the careful operation of the imperial court, Lianyunzhai was in civil strife, and Taigong Chong, Mao Bingcheng and others, who were loyal to the imperial court, were united with Du Zhubei, who insisted on fighting against the imperial court, and Lianyunzhai was willing to return to the imperial court together, but because of the civil strife in the village, there were not many treasures such as gold, silver, pearls and jade, and the whole army of Thunder Cliff was also wiped out under Du Zhubei's life.

Attached is a description of the situation written by Mao Bingcheng himself, saying that Du Zhubei fought hard against Thunder Cliff and a group of masters in Lianyunzhai, and when he was highly poisoned, he killed himself because he was unwilling to be humiliated after fighting Thunder Cliff and a group of cats and dogs that Li Xu couldn't remember.

According to the above statement, Du stopped the cup and did not die, but let the Shaolin Temple take it, and there may be an element of Shaolin layout behind everything.

That's the end of the Du stop cup?

Li Xu hurriedly read the three letters, took Mao Bingcheng's handwritten copy and read it carefully, and threw it aside.

For Du Da Dang, the emperor's emotions have always been complicated.

Li Xu admires this person very much.

Lianyunzhai is a force in the rivers and lakes, and Li Xu is very disgusted.

Now that Du Zhubei is probably gone, most of the bastards in Lianyunzhai are waiting for Zhao'an.

This reality made Li Xu a little unhappy, but there was no way.

"Zhun Mao Bingcheng is obedient, let him come to Taiyuan Army quickly, I want to see him in person. The emperor sighed: "Then you draw up a list of rewards and bring it to me to see, Han Xiang and Li Xiang will be knighted." ”8)
