The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1938

"This Khitan should be our last great enemy. In order to allow you to inherit the throne smoothly, this Khitan should be crushed in your hands."

"I said, Dad, are you sick? How can you think that way? Anyway, it's our Song Dynasty's world. It doesn't matter who is the emperor, don't you think?"

"Nonsense, the country of the Song Dynasty can only belong to our Zhao family. Don't say that I am narrow-minded or anything. This is the law of the times and no one can change it. Don't think about it." Zhao Kuangyin looked at his son.

"Actually, I am really happy. My true wish has finally come true. Now that the world has finally been unified. Khitan is just a foreign thing, and it doesn't matter. My true wish is to unify the world. Now that it has been fulfilled, I can retire. , but I still have one wish, and I must do it.”

Seeing that Zhao Kuangyin looked at it, he also said something solemn, and he didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was talking about, so he was also very curious about what the emperor's father was talking about.

"Taishan Fengchan!"

Fengchan is an ancient etiquette.According to Zhang Shoujie's "Justice" explanation in "Historical Records Fengchan Book": "The soil on Mount Tai is built as an altar to worship the sky and repay the merit of heaven, so it is called Feng. .

However, Feng Chan became a kind of ceremony when Qin Shihuang, this eternal emperor really deserves to be an eternal emperor, there are really many things left behind.

In the 28th year of Qin Shihuang, that is, the third year after the unification of the six kingdoms, the first emperor visited counties and counties in the east and called more than [-] Confucian scholars and doctors from Qi and Lu to Mount Tai, the "first mountain in the world", to discuss the ceremony of enshrining Zen. It shows that he was ordered by heaven to be emperor.

Qin Shihuang liked to make some innovations. For example, the title of emperor was also created by others. In order to show the merits of characters, this is a bit different from the past, and they have to come up with some tricks.

It is necessary to hold a sacrificial ceremony on Mount Tai, but there is no specific reference, so these Confucian scholars have different opinions and it is difficult to implement.

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng is a more individual emperor, his favorite ear is creation, since these Confucian scholars have no skills, he dismisses all Confucian scholars, since these people are useless, why are they still chattering.

Anyway, what I say now is the imperial decree, and I dare not disobey it. Since the whole world belongs to the Great Qin, then I will borrow the original Qin State's ritual of offering sacrifices to God Yong to enshrine Mount Tai and Chan Liangfu, and carve stones to praise Qin De.

The eulogy said, "The emperor came to the throne, made clear laws, and his ministers repaired them. Twenty-six years ago, the world was united at the beginning, and no one was unconvinced. I personally visited the people in the distance, ascended Mount Tai, and visited the East Pole. From the minister's thoughts Traces, original careers, only praise merits. Governance and operation, all productions are suitable, all have their own formulas" and so on, all praise one's own merits and virtues, a total of 140 seven characters.

The engraved stone is engraved on all sides, and the eulogy is engraved on three sides.Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, was the heir to the throne, and in the first year he also toured the east, and engraved his imperial edict and the names of his servants on the spare side.The inscription is Xiaozhuan after the Qin Dynasty unified the script, and it is said that it was written by Li Si.

This is the original ceremony of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai, and it is also an innovation. Qin Shihuang never thought that this ceremony would be respected by later emperors and become a sacred ceremony.

Ma Qian of the Taishi Company wrote the "Book of Fengchan" in his great work, and he wrote clearly at the beginning that the "Fengchan Grand Ceremony" is far away for more than a thousand years, and the nearer for hundreds of years. If you can’t get the details, remember Wenyun.”

Later, other works gave important symbolic meaning to Feng Chan. Anyway, it can be summed up as follows: It turns out that the various purposes and symbols of Feng Chan all contain a deeper level of consciousness: when communicating with heaven and man, coordinating heaven and earth , God, and the relationship between people, so that it can achieve the harmony and unity of spiritual will and external behavior.

But Feng Chan is not something that every emperor can do, otherwise Taishan Feng Chan will become a Chinese cabbage, so is it any different from a festival?

Now it seems that as for Qin Shihuang, Han Wudi, Han Guangwu Emperor, Tang Gaozong and Tang Xuanzong, these emperors, needless to say Qin Shihuang, they are the same emperor through the ages.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, that is a great reputation, has re-established the dignity of the Han family. No one will deny this. He is a majestic man, and Mount Tai's enshrining Zen is to promote the majesty of the Han family.

Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty saved the foundation of the Han Dynasty, and Guozuo, which continued the Han Dynasty, appeared, and the ZTE of the Han Dynasty, sailed for an era, and was a great emperor.

Tang Gaozong was an underestimated emperor because his wife was more famous than him. In fact, he was also an emperor no worse than his father.Continuing the rule of Zhenguan, he led civil and military officials, and guards of honor. Empress Wu led internal and external wives. The envoys and chiefs of other countries performed Fengchan.

His grandson Tang Xuanzong Li Longji, not to mention the prosperity of Kaiyuan, became a famous prosperous age in feudal society, let alone Feng Chan. These are the most famous emperors in ancient times, and they are also recorded emperors of Feng Chan. They are all descendants of later emperors. A role model, or an object of envy.

Now Zhao Kuangyin also wants to confer Zen, which is of great significance. In fact, according to today's Great Song Dynasty, Feng Chan is fully qualified, no worse than other emperors. Zhao Kuangyin is showing his achievements to the sky.

"I decided to order the Ministry of Rites to let them prepare, and you will go to Mount Tai with me. This is a rare prosperity in the Song Dynasty, and it will definitely be famous in history in the future."

After the emperor reached this position, he only cared about fame and fortune, and how he was written in the history books.

Taishan Fengchan is a strong stroke. This should be the last thing Zhao Kuangyin will do with all his strength, so he must do it well. This is related to his reputation behind him. I believe historians will definitely write about it. , this is for sure, can Zhao Kuangyin not be careful?
"Father, you really want Mount Tai to enshrine Zen. Aren't you afraid of being said to be a waste of money?" Zhao Kuangyin, who has always been frugal, was willing to spend such a Zen. Zhao Xu was curious.

"The Song Dynasty is rich in the world. In the past, I was really frugal just to let the world remember the difficulty of starting a business, but now the world is peaceful, and the people will support me. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

Zhao Kuangyin is very confident, and the people will definitely support him, because this is the pride of a country, the self-confidence of a nation, and the people are still very wise in the face of big right and wrong.

When Zhao Kuangyin's imperial decree came down to the Ministry of Rites, those officials began to get busy. After all, they had to consult ancient books. There were records in the history of Feng Chan, and what they wanted to see was specific things, and they were also very happy.

This is the first time that the Song Dynasty confers Zen, and they are fortunate to participate, thanks to the blessing of the emperor.
