Reborn Daqin, I am the emperor

Seeing this, Shu Suntong quickly followed.

Stepping through 99 steps in a row, to the altar, looking around, as if overlooking the world.

Shu Suntong stood behind, watching Ying Shou and Yinyue. He saw the two of them standing here, feeling like a dragon and a phoenix, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up, but he didn't say anything.

"Your Majesty, after looking at it, I don't know if there is still something that needs to be reformed?"

Shu Suntong hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked.

"Well, very good, very spectacular. Aiqing, now that the altar has been completed, I don't know the day of the sacrifice, which day do you think is more appropriate?"

Ying Shou nodded in satisfaction and asked.

"Your Majesty, this subject observes the sky at night, and then calculates it according to Zhou Wang's calendar, and thinks that three days later is the most suitable time!"

Shu Suntong said quickly.

Confucianism, originated from the royal family of Zhou, was inherited and educated by the etiquette and etiquette of Zhou Tianzi, and was later carried forward by Confucius, creating a school of his own.

When Confucius was young, he saw priests offering sacrifices to the dead, and he knew that this was a sacrificial ceremony.Therefore, the memorial ceremony became the beginning of the ceremony of Confucius learning.

After the death of Confucius' mother, Confucius offered sacrifices in person.

Someone once asked Confucius, are there really ghosts and gods in this world?

Confucius did not confirm or deny it, but said that the theory of ghosts and gods should be kept at a respectful distance.

To explain it in a vernacular, it is the theory of ghosts and gods. No one knows whether it is true or not, but as a human being, we should keep it at a distance.As the saying goes, respecting heaven, earth, ghosts and gods is a Confucian ritual.The dead of relatives should be treated respectfully.

It is precisely because of Confucius that sacrifice has become one of the most important etiquettes of Confucianism, and after the Great Qin ruled the world, Rujia even assumed the responsibility of sacrifice.

Furthermore, because Confucianism came from the royal family of Zhou, Confucianism has always followed the calendar handed down by King Wen of Zhou to calculate the date.

"Three days later, okay, let's focus on the day of the sacrifice three days later. Shusun Tong, pass on the order. Three days later, all the people in Xianyang will gather here. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty must not be absent. They will all go to the altar to commemorate the battle. martyr!"

Ying Shou nodded, set the date, and sent an order at the same time.

"promise……"

When Shusun Tong heard the words, he immediately responded.

As Ying Shou's order was issued, it soon swept across the entire Xianyang City.

"Three days later, we will sacrifice the spirits of all the masters and heroes from all walks of life?"

"Great. In this battle, heroes from all walks of life threw their heads and blood for the people of Great Qin. We will remember this tragedy in our hearts. Now Your Majesty has set up an altar to sacrifice to the martyrs. We must go! "

As soon as this news came out, it swept across the entire Xianyang City. Relatively speaking, even the matter of Yuwen Chengdu seemed to be less important.

Various schools of thought and heroes from all walks of life have been living in Xianyang City for the past few days.This is the day I've been waiting for.Among the martyrs who died in battle, there were their fellow apprentices, their brothers and sisters, or their close friends.

It is precisely to wait for this day that these talents have stayed in Xianyang City, otherwise they would have already left here with their temperament.

Heroes from all walks of life are naturally free and easy, as for the heroes and heroes of various schools, there are a lot of things in the sect waiting to be dealt with, and there is no time to wait here.

But no matter how big things are, compared with the sacrifices of many martyrs, they seem so unimportant.

Although everyone did not turn to Great Qin, but now, the Emperor Great Qin called on the world to pay homage to the martyrs, and hundreds of thousands of people in Xianyang City gathered. This is definitely the first time in history, and it is very honorable for many martyrs.

Therefore, no one would refuse to pay homage to their brothers, sisters, friends and fellow apprentices in this way.

Not only did these people not refuse, those leaders who died in battle among the various factions, such as the peasant family and the Mohist family, also sent representatives to Xianyang.

……

In the early morning of that day, with the sound of bells and drums, countless people flocked out of the city and came to the Tianhu Altar outside the West City Gate.

"This is the altar, so magnificent!"

"Yeah, these days, no one is allowed to come close. I didn't expect this altar to be built so tall and magnificent!"

Under the maintenance of order by the Great Qin soldiers, although the people were crowded, they stood outside the circle one after another, looking at the tall and majestic altar in front of them, their eyes filled with horror.

This can be said to be the first time in history that a king built such a high altar for a group of people in the rivers and lakes.

In the crowd, there were quite a few people from various schools and schools, seeing this scene, there was respect in their eyes.

From this altar, everyone can see that the emperor attaches great importance to the martyrs who died this time.

"Send the clock..."

Suddenly, there was a shout, and on the altar, nine wine priests, headed by the great wine priest Shusun Tong, stood in nine directions.The sound of sending the bell came from the mouth of Shusun Tong, the big wine festival.

Sending off the bell, homophonic to send off to the end, means to send the end to the deceased.

Since ancient times, there have been three, six, and nine ranks in the world, and the ranks have been clearly defined.

Sending the bell has been an etiquette since ancient times. When ordinary people send the bell, they ring the bell and ring once!The national scholar knocked three times, and it sounded three times!The princes knocked six times, and it sounded six times!Tianzi 閨, knock nine times, ring nine times, that is to send the bell, and to send the bell [Send Life]

Following the sound of Shusuntong sending the bell, directly among the crowd, on a road with a width of three zhang, eighteen soldiers came slowly with a huge bronze bell on their shoulders.

This bronze bell is very big. If you look around, it will weigh several thousand catties. This is the huge bell prepared by Daqin for these martyrs this time.

Chapter 260: The Sacrifice Begins

"What a big clock..."

"Only this altar is worthy of such a big bell!"

Everyone stared at the big clock, unavoidably showing awe.

Under their watchful eyes, the eighteen soldiers carried the huge bell and came to the altar step by step, then walked up to the altar, and finally hung the big bell on the beams above the altar.

"Your Majesty has an order. All heroes, defending our family and defending the country for our Great Qin Dynasty. You are national scholars. You should sacrifice with the rituals of national scholars and see you off with three bells!"

Shu Suntong opened his arms and sleeves, and muttered loudly.

"It's about to start..."

When everyone heard this, they immediately became serious.

This end has already begun from the first ringing of the bell, and after the ringing of the bell, it is the time for the worshipers of the dead to appear on the stage.

As everyone was serious, the nine sacrificial wines slowly stepped forward, and at the same time they were in charge of ringing the bell Xuanmu.

"One bell!"

Shu Suntong shouted loudly.

"Boom..."

The nine sacrificial winemakers tried their best to slam the bell on the body, and suddenly, a melodious bell sounded and whispered in all directions, which was deafening.

This bell can be heard far away in Xianyang City, and even everyone in Xianyang Palace.

At this moment, one can only see above the court hall, where all the civil and military personnel of the whole dynasty gather.

"The bell is ringing, it's time for His Majesty to appear!"

The ministers discussed in a low voice, and they couldn't help looking upwards.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

Sure enough, as soon as the first bell rang, a sharp voice sounded immediately.

As the eunuch's voice fell, the emperor slowly walked up to the dragon platform behind the main hall, but did not sit on the dragon seat.

"See Your Majesty the Emperor, long live long live your majesty!"

The ministers bowed and saluted loudly.

Before the officials, heroes from various schools of thought had also arrived, making the entire court hall full of people.

At this moment, all the officials bowed, and the heroes from all sides also bowed to meet them.

"Pingshen..."

Wearing a dragon robe and a crown, Ying Shou waved his sleeves and said loudly.

"Thank you Your Majesty..."

All the ministers kowtowed their thanks and stood up at the same time, looking up at the emperor.

"Dear dear ones, today is the No. 20th day since my army from the Northern Expedition returned triumphantly. In the past 20 days, I have not been to court."

"Perhaps many people have regenerated and complained, thinking that I am stupid and don't know how to govern the country!"

"At this moment, I don't want to explain too much. After this battle, the world celebrates! However, in my opinion, this is not a time for celebration, but a time of silent mourning for the martyrs!"

"I also know that major events in the world are disturbing, but in this battle, I have a hundred families of the Great Qin, and the heroes of all parties have suffered heavy losses!"

"Who are all the people who died in this battle?"

"Guoshi..."

"They are all rare talents in our Great Qin. They should live in the present and create a future for our Great Qin. But because of the Huns' war, they died on the battlefield regardless of life and death!"

"I am heartbroken!"

Standing on the dragon platform, Ying Shou said while beating his heart with a sad expression on his face.

"In my opinion, no matter how important the world's affairs are, it can't beat seeing off our soldiers and paying homage to our soldiers."

"Therefore, after I return to Xianyang, I will never go to the court before offering sacrifices. I want to put the sacrifices of the martyrs first. Dear friends, may you understand?"

While speaking, Ying Shou looked at everyone below with piercing eyes.

"Sir, you understand!"

All the ministers bowed their heads, Shan Hu said.

Hearing this remark, all the scholars and heroes from all walks of life in front couldn't help trembling, feeling inexplicably moved.

Although they tried their best to restrain themselves, they were still irresistibly moved by the emperor's emphasis on rituals.

The people who died in this battle were basically people from the rivers and lakes. The emperor valued these martyrs so much, which was no different from respecting famous officials in the world.Such an emperor made them feel convincing.

"Your Majesty, in this battle, the heroes from all sides successfully blocked the Xiongnu. This is the Great Xin. Although the martyr is dead, he walked with honor and without complaint. Your Majesty must not be sad because of this. You should take care of the dragon's body!"

In front of hundreds of scholars and heroes from all sides, Master Xunzi ranked first, and suddenly said.

"Master Xunzi is right. His Majesty the Emperor has shown such great kindness to me and the people in the Jianghu, so I am very fortunate in the Jianghu. Your Majesty should take good care of the dragon's body!"

As Master Xunzi spoke, the rest of the people echoed.

In the past, they were very disgusted with Great Qin and never surrendered to Great Qin, but on this day, they completely surrendered to the present Great Qin Wudi.

"Hey, I understand the wishes of all the nationals. But now is not the time to talk about these things. The first bell has sounded, and we should rush to the altar!"

Ying Shou waved his hand, looked at the crowd and said.

"Pass down the order, sacrifice on the altar!"

Then, Ying Shou gave an order.

"Ugh..."

Suddenly, a horn sounded, and Ying Shou walked out of the hall from among the officials, and the officials followed immediately, and together with the representatives of various schools and heroes, they walked out of Xianyang City.

Next to it, a huge guard of honor, blowing horns and holding golden weapons, walked towards the outside of Xianyang City together.

When everyone came to the west gate of Xianyang City, the second bell rang.

When walking to Tianhu, the third bell rang.

Everything has been arranged, and as the third bell fell, Shusun Tong shouted loudly on the altar: "Three bells ring, welcome to His Majesty the Emperor, all civil and military officials, all schools of thought, representatives of heroes from all walks of life Pre-sacrifice!"

"The sacrifice has begun!"

Countless people below saw this and immediately looked behind.

The moment their eyes turned away, a high-spirited voice suddenly sounded.

"His Majesty the Emperor is here!"

"Ugh..."

The trumpets followed!

Then I saw His Majesty the Emperor coming on foot in person, hundreds of civil and military officials, hundreds of schools of thought, representatives of heroes from all walks of life, together with the guard of honor, a total of tens of thousands of people came to the altar of Tianhu in a mighty manner.

"See Your Majesty, Long Live Your Majesty Long Live Long Live Long Live Your Majesty!"
