Chapter 294 Climbing Mount Tai, Enshrining the Land of Zen 【Tickets】

The history of Fengchan has a long history, and it can be traced back to the Wuhuai period earlier than Fuxi's.

The so-called "Feng Chan" means offering sacrifices to the sky, and Zen is offering sacrifices to the earth.

According to "Historical Records Fengchan Shu":
"Feng" means gathering soil on Mount Tai, building a round platform to worship the emperor of heaven, increasing the height of Mount Tai, and dedicating merit to the world;
"Zen" is to build a square altar with earth on the small hill under Mount Tai to worship the god of the earth, increase the thickness of the earth, and repay its blessings.

Wanting to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen is not because of the rise of the emperor. If you say you want to go, you can go if you want to.

For the emperor, Feng Chan is also a huge and incomparable glory, demonstrating the process of "the king's power is bestowed by the gods, and the gods carry the fortune".

It is to announce to the heavens that the martial arts and martial arts in the mortal world under his jurisdiction are grand.

It is necessary to 'follow the destiny', and there is a good omen before going to Mount Tai, which corresponds to 'carrying'!
Since ancient times, only emperors who are "destined by heaven" and unrivaled heroes are eligible to hold the Zen Conferring Ceremony.

It is recorded in "Historical Records" that Duke Huan of Qi, the head of the Five Overlords in the Spring and Autumn Period, wanted to hold a Zen ceremony after he gained the hegemony status, so he asked Guan Zhong for his opinion.

Guan Zhong is the big man who created the female husband.

In addition to the serious occupation of the Legalists, Guan Zhong's sideline business can be regarded as the originator of the Huaxia Goulan lineage.

Duke Huan of Qi wanted to enshrine Zen, so Guan Zhong stopped Qi Huangong on the grounds that the previous enshrining of Zen was ordered by heaven and only after receiving heaven's enlightenment.

In the long-distance China, dynasties have changed, and there are not many Taishan Fengchans who are truly recognized by the world.

Among them, the most famous are Shi Huangdi and Wudi Liu Che.

The first emperor was the first of the ancients, the first emperor to complete the unification.

However, under the rule of Emperor Wudi, Shenzhou was able to eliminate foreign enemies, expand the land for thousands of miles, and accept the barbarians into the territory of the Han people, and the country's territory increased exponentially.

Feng Chan also has a strict sequence of steps.

The first step is for the minister to formally perform the meritorious service, saying, Your Majesty, what a disaster, the minister finds that under your rule, the weather is smooth and the people are well-fed, and the present is a prosperous age through the ages, why don't we give it a try!
The emperor's eyes lit up: just try it.

Then you hurry to look for it and see if God agrees. If God agrees, there will be good omens for the world.

So the ministers issued official documents all over the world, looking for auspicious omens from heaven.

The biggest scandal in this regard is Song Zhenzong of the Northern Song Dynasty. In order to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen and get his destiny, he directed and performed a "farce from heaven" to prove the coming of auspiciousness.

However, it was clearly written in the history books, which exposed him.

Only the first emperor and Liu Che were allowed to climb Mount Tai by heaven.

When the minister found the auspicious omen, the emperor was overjoyed, saying that I am indeed the Son of Heaven, and that the heaven and the earth agree with me.

So I issued an edict, saying that I want to enshrine Zen, and ask heaven and earth to cooperate with me.

Right now when Liu Che leaves Chang'an, he has already gone through the above three steps, that is, the minister made a memorial, the heaven descended auspiciously, and the decree announced to the world that Zen should be enshrined.

Liu Che received more than one auspicious omen.

Among them is a tripod vessel.

At that time, the first emperor was given the mandate of heaven, the ancient nine tripods, and the town of mountains and rivers.

After he became Zen, he buried the Jiuding back into the ground, and it was in harmony with the earth's veins, so it is difficult for future generations to see it.

When Han conquered the world, when Liu Che ascended the throne, and Wei Qing defeated the Xiongnu in a row, the Yinyang family watched the stars at night and found that the precious light was soaring into the sky, and the clear brilliance shook the sky, so they took out a precious tripod under the Xianyang Palace.

This is like a kind of excessive national destiny, handed over from Qin to Han.

During the recent period, Huo Qubing even defeated the Xiongnu, the earth's veins flourished, and all things were prosperous, which was also a sign of good luck known to the world.

So Liu Che felt that the time had come for Feng Chan.

He went east to Mount Tai, which was the fourth step of Feng Chan.

The hundreds of officials and clans who came out of Chang'an, under the protection of the imperial army, stretched for nearly twenty miles.

Huo Qubing commanded the troops, riding beside the emperor's chariot.

In the car are the emperor and queen, and the prince.

Later in the car, the clan almost came out in full force.

Including Liu Qing, as well as Bai Nanyu and Zhuo Qingke who accompanied her.

For such a grand event, Bai Nanyu was flattered to receive Liu Qing's invitation.

And further back, people from various clans were also invited.

They will represent a class, and there is a ceremony under Mount Tai, which needs them to participate in the completion.

As soon as the emperor's car drove out of Chang'an, the magnificent chanting of Confucian classics sounded, telling heaven and earth, and the opening of Zen.

"The emperor obeyed the will of heaven to do business, he was taught by virtue and not punished... Those who govern the country regard the accumulation of virtuous people as their way."

"The great origin of Tao comes from the sky. If the sky does not change, so will the Tao."

"Everything is in accordance with the name, and the name is in accordance with the sky. Between heaven and man, they are one."

Dong Zhongshu was dressed in a green Confucian robe, followed by Bai Yu, Sima Qian, and Huo Guang, three personal disciples, all dressed up, looking like a book boy.

The three of them each hold a sacred Confucian relic, which is two volumes of Confucian classics written by the sage Confucius, the pen and ink used by Mencius, a bronze Jie knife left by Xunzi for cutting slips, and a musical instrument.

These few things correspond to the Confucian 'classics', enlightenment and rites and music.

Dong Zhongshu looked solemn, like a national teacher of a country, holding a chime bell for ritual and music, and struck it himself as he walked.

Every time he knocked, there would be scriptures recited, and the words would flow into chapters, like golden lotuses gushing from the ground, countless words emerged from the void, and their imprints fell under the emperor's chariot shaft.

The place where the ruts passed was actually paved with golden Confucian classics.

The vision between heaven and earth flourished.

Just like the sun shining on the earth, the light is dazzling.

After Dong Zhongshu finished speaking, Dao Zun continued: "The highest kindness is like water, and water is good for all things without fighting."

"To the extreme of emptiness, keep quiet and earnest. All things are made together, and I can see them again."

As soon as Dao Zun's voice came out, there was also a vision in the sky, a wisp of purple air was drawn out, spread out from Chang'an, and pointed directly at Mount Tai, shining like a fairy road.

This time the emperor traveled, as if the entire national destiny was escorting him.

This is the real Feng Chan, where the heaven and the earth are in harmony, and all things work together!

The power of the entire country has been mobilized.

Unlike Dong Zhongshu who participated in it and experienced the grand occasion of the country, he was happy and excited, Dao Zun secretly rolled his eyes.

He didn't want to come and give Feng Chan a platform.

But there is no way, people hold the handle, and the foreseeable difficult life begins.

He glanced at Huo Qubing.

The champion, Hou Zhenggao, was sitting on a horse, dressed in a military uniform, lined with a brand-new Lang Zhongling official robe, showing his sharpness.

All around him are the elite of the Imperial Army.

Fu Luzhi, Chen Qing, Yao Zhao, Zhao Puonu, and Zhao Anji each rode their horses, leading the troops and horses in a majestic and majestic manner.

The soldiers of the forbidden army gathered together, and a huge sword appeared in the sky, stretching across the sky, containing the power of dominance.

Dao Zun glanced at Zhan Ge in the sky, and muttered to himself: "The cultivation of Champion Hou seems to have risen again. It's unreasonable. He broke through one realm after another."

Zhangtang, Jiangyan, Dasinong, Mohist and other schools also have means to help the emperor get out of Chang'an and go east.

And the emperor was chatting with Huo Qubing who was accompanying him in the car: "What is the purpose of you want me to make 'Tao' the state religion?"

"Make some preparations. There is a kind of practice called 'Buddha' in the southern country, and it will be preached by the Han Dynasty in the near future. I want to promote a wave of my own things first, and take the lead. Your Majesty allocates all the famous mountains in various places to Taoism to build Taoist temples. It's best to stay calm." Huo Qubing said.

"Bullshit."

The emperor reprimanded: "If the 'Buddha' you mentioned is harmful, I will not allow it. If it is harmless and beneficial, why not spread it?"

Huo Qubing briefly studied the ideas of Buddhism and Taoism.

The ability of Buddha to spread and become widely known in later generations is directly related to his theory of reincarnation, good deeds are rewarded with good deeds, all beings are equal, and catering to the hearts of the people.

Buddhism is the practice of joining the world.

Taoism is quiet and inaction, and it talks about letting nature take its course.

There is no fighting or robbing of the Tao, and there is no reincarnation. If you believe in me, you will be rewarded.

Everyone thinks that if you believe in Buddhism, you can get money back.

The dry practice of Taoism does not give rewards, and it is a loss-making business from the beginning, so it is naturally weak in spreading.

Huo Qubing was going to use Daozun as a tool to make some adjustments.

To know that this world has the power of mythology and the spread of Buddhism, it becomes very necessary to respond, and it must be done early.

It is thousands of miles from Chang'an to Mount Tai.

Not long after leaving the city, Huo Qubing used the marching strategy, but he didn't rush at full speed. It took four days, corresponding to the four seasons of heaven and earth, before finally reaching the foot of Mount Tai.

Here, the fifth step of Fengchan will be unfolded, that is, the emperor takes a bath to concentrate his mind and restrain his desires to meditate.

That night, the sixth step of Fengchan's Fengchan was launched simultaneously - the firewood sacrifice!
In the four directions under the main peak of Mount Tai, four large tripods are placed, and fire is burned inside the tripod.

The ancients believed that if the fire light is upward and the smoke rises to the sky, it can communicate with the gods and convey the respect of the worshippers!

The fire burned all night. From a distance, it looked like four giant torches had been ignited around Mount Tai, illuminating China.

The night was quiet.

Everyone returned to the camp, rested separately, and waited for the moment when the emperor climbed Mount Tai.

----

The sea breeze blows, and it is cold on the face.

Liu Qian moved from Huainan to the coastal area, and what he was most uncomfortable with was the whistling sea breeze.

At this moment, he was staring blankly at a pair of bamboo slips in front of him.

This brief book is very strange.

He knew that after the death of his father, King Huainan, it was as if a pillar had collapsed in his heart. It was difficult to sleep at night, and he had constant dreams, often dreaming of strange things.

And tonight he also had a nightmare. In the dream, a Han army found his position, rode to kill him, and cut off his head with a sword.

The bright red blood spattered, and in severe pain, Liu Qian woke up from the nightmare.

At midnight, the moon hangs high.

He immediately saw a roll of bamboo slips on the low mat next to the couch.

Words appeared out of nowhere on the slip of paper: "Your father was killed by Huo Qubing and the emperor, do you want to avenge him?"

The writing is like blood.

Liu Qian was terrified and trembling, terrified.

"You dare not face Huo Qubing and the emperor?"

The handwriting on the brief book is full of mockery and disdain: "Your cowardice is doomed to accomplish nothing, and you will not be able to participate in the changes in this world."

Liu Qian seemed to be stimulated, and shouted: "I don't have anything, I already have nothing, what else is there to be afraid of?"

"No, you still have the retreat that your father planned for many years, the population that was secretly transferred from Huainan, and the small country that was conquered.

If he dies, you will be the master of this small country. Although the country is small, it has a population of one million.If you are willing, fight with the lives of these millions of people, maybe there is hope for revenge! "

The handwriting on the bamboo slips changed, like the whispers of a demon tempting Liu Qian.

"A million people..." Liu Qian murmured in a low voice.

----

The emperor bathed and changed clothes under Mount Tai, worshiped the ancestors first, and meditated.

This process also takes four days, which corresponds to the rotation of the four seasons.

In the early morning four days later, the emperor came to the foot of the mountain where the Jade Emperor Peak was located, wearing a dragon robe and a beaded crown.

At this time, the various clans and strata in the world, representing the common people, hundreds of officials, and clan candidates, came out one after another.

The lords and royal families of the original Western Regions, the leaders of Fuyu and Wuhuan tribes in the Northeast, and the heads of some tribes in the Western Qiang who agreed to enter the Han Dynasty gathered at the foot of Mount Tai, implying that a hundred nations came to court.

They and the people of the clan, hundreds of officials, are divided into five directions, corresponding to the wishes of the people in the five directions, and respectfully bow to the emperor.

Jiang Yan, a Yin-Yang family, stood at the foot of the mountain with a wide robe and large sleeves, proclaiming: "The emperor is ordered by heaven to climb Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."

Including the queen, prince, Liu Qing and other close relatives of the clan, they all stayed at the foot of the mountain and looked up to the emperor who climbed the mountain.

Only Huo Qubing was able to accompany him, and Wei Qing could also follow behind to climb the mountain later.

But the first array only had the emperor and Huo Qubing.

This is pretty much what has actually happened historically.

In history, Huo Qubing passed away when Emperor Wu ascended Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, but Liu Che personally took his son Huo Shan, who was under ten years old at the time, to the top of Mount Tai.

The son of Emperor Wu and Huo Qubing climbed Mount Tai for the ceremony of enshrining Zen.Even the crown prince can't enjoy this kind of honor. What's the reason?
As the son of Huo Qubing, Emperor Wu had always placed high hopes on Huo Shan.

After Huo Qubing died, Huo Shan was also raised by him.

He hoped that the world-renowned general who sealed the wolf and lived in Xuxu could pass on his mantle, so that when Huo Shan grows up, he can contribute to the country like his father Huo Qubing, and reproduce the glorious achievements of defeating countless enemies.

Unfortunately, shortly after climbing Mount Tai, Huo Shan died suddenly and died of no illness. Emperor Wu was very sad when he heard about it.

But at this time, when the emperor and Huo Qubing both stepped up the first stone steps of Mount Tai, a thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, illuminating the mountains, rivers and earth in an instant!

The emperor ignored it, and stepped steadily up the second stone step.

Huo Qubing was a little behind, accompanying him.

The two of them climbed the mountain steadily amidst the sound of thunder, going higher and higher.
