[Comprehensive] The days when I pretended to be a meow in the Forbidden City
Chapter 124 Five Kingdoms
Dongyue Taishan, since Qin Shihuang enshrined Mount Tai as a Zen emperor, climbing Mount Tai has become a symbol of the orthodox identity of an emperor. Common people are not allowed to climb Mount Tai, and can only do activities in the middle and lower levels of Mount Tai.
Although the principle of worshiping heaven is to tell God that I have been guided by you, I have changed my dynasty, changed my country's surname, and will become the new master of the world, and I will tell God my achievements to obtain permission and protection.
Whether it is useful or not, no one knows, because even Qin Shihuang's country was not peaceful after his trip to Zen.
But this behavior actually expressed a certain determination of the emperor, as well as self-confidence out of orthodoxy. After all, in today's era, there is still a saying that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven.
If you don't have enough self-confidence, or if you are not in the right position, you will be more or less afraid of God's punishment.
But Feng Chan can only be used when changing the country's surname, and the little emperor is naturally not allowed, he can only sacrifice to the sky.
It's hard to say what the little emperor felt when he heard this request. Out of the emperor's instinct, he wanted to agree very much.
Mount Tai's Zen ceremony can be said to be the peak of an emperor's career, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is not too much of a stretch. It can be said that once the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is completed, it is equivalent to establishing his status as the lord of the world.
The edict is to tell the people, and the sacrifice to the genius is to tell the ancestors, the heaven, the earth and all things.
However, for his own sake, he dared not agree.
Because he was not born orthodox, his throne was established entirely by the traitor Dong Zhuo.Even a few years later, it was precisely because of his unstable background that Yuan Shu had the courage to become king on his own.
This may be an eternal scar in the heart of the little emperor Liu Xie.
Moreover, Liu Xie himself was also a little scared. He was afraid that when he offered sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai, the heavens would really issue a decree against it.
If thunder or rain fell from the sky when he was offering sacrifices to heaven, then what face would he have to continue to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty?
He wanted to shirk this matter, thinking that it was too early. Moreover, the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai was usually carried out when the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Although Liu Xie was young and had just taken charge of the government, in fact, he He has been named emperor for nearly ten years.
There is an emperor who ascends the throne ten years later and then tells the heavens that I have inherited the imperial system.
This is of course an excuse.
Everyone knows that this is an excuse. The fact is that the little emperor himself has doubts about his coming to the throne, so this will not work.If this point cannot be resolved, then this will be the psychological shadow of the little emperor for the rest of his life. Originally, he just wanted to make a suggestion, thinking that the little emperor would happily accept it. All the officials of the Han family fell silent for a while.Then everyone started chattering and trying to comfort Liu Xie.
But they only said four or five sentences, and they all shut up.
Because this can help the little emperor build confidence, it is the country and the people's peace after the new emperor ascends the throne, but the fact is that after the little emperor ascended the throne, the flames of war have never stopped, and he has encountered catastrophes one after another, frequent floods and droughts, and locust plagues. Not a convincing argument.
The only thing that can be called an auspicious omen happened under Cao Cao's rule.
By the way, Cao Cao, it was this girl who proposed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai.
This was really beyond the expectations of the officials. They had already regarded the now powerful Cao Cao as an imaginary enemy, but they never expected that when Cao Cao came to preside over the move of His Majesty's capital to Luoyang, this move meant that he had no intention of holding hostage Second, after he finished cleaning the left and right counties, he returned the imperial guards to General Huangfusong, also expressing that he had no greed for military power.
The behavior of one or two made the clan members and ministers of the Han Dynasty a little confused.
Especially this time, the words Taishan offering sacrifices to heaven really suit their appetite.
These four words are like a huge fishing bait, placed in front of them, and standing behind him is a sly face of Cao Cao, holding a fishing rod in his hand, swinging up and down, as if to say, are you fooled, fooled ?
These Hanchens knew that Cao Mengde's actions had ulterior motives, but they really didn't understand, what was he trying to do?
But if it is to admit that Cao Mengde is a loyal minister of the big man, their previous imaginary enemies were all wrong, which makes these courtiers feel a little unwilling, because if they admit it like that, it will appear that they are villains.The courtiers who were hesitant at first, saw that Liu Xie was also hesitating at this moment, but they stopped hesitating.
Regardless of whether it is Cao Mengde's conspiracy or Yang's conspiracy, if the news of His Majesty's unwillingness to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens spreads, it will greatly damage His Majesty's majesty.
Self-conceited meritorious deeds are not enough, feel that you have not made real progress, feel shameless to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, and have a guilty conscience and dare not go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens. These are two different things.
The latter is far more serious than the former. If this news spreads, His Majesty will lose face, and may even become the target of attacks by rebels.
You see, Cao Mengde didn't do anything, these loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who could see clearly had already held the little emperor's hand and said, Your Majesty, you must, sacrifice to heaven, as long as the ritual of sacrifice to heaven is completed, the world will have no respect for your throne. The source is no longer in dispute.
After all, the emperor is the son of heaven, even if the success of the throne is involved, but if even heaven has already recognized it, then what qualifications do others have to say more?At this moment, they collectively ignored one thing, that is, what if God doesn't approve?
Hmm...how is this possible!
Liu Xie was also taken aback by the sudden tough attitude of the courtiers.But after thinking about it, he still felt a little unreliable, so he suppressed the matter and decided to discuss it again, and then returned to the inner palace. He asked his two little friends for their opinions on what happened in the hall today.
Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong reacted very coldly to this proposal. If they want to say why, it is probably because they have seen too many false auspicious signs in Cao Ying. One of the auspicious signs was once their little mount.
Although this series of experiences will not turn the two young boys into atheists, their trust in the gods has actually dropped a lot.
Understanding what the emperor was struggling with, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, but they were extremely confident about it.
The little emperor was puzzled immediately, so he listened to the two young men explaining the facts to him. They first talked about the events before the little emperor succeeded to the throne. Because of the successive disasters at that time, the people were short of food and clothing, and the Emperor Ling sold his officials to confer titles, which made the people lose confidence in the royal family, and they naturally resented it.
But what about the little emperor after he succeeds to the throne?
Dong Zhuo was killed.
Although there was a severe drought in the sky, it was much smaller than the previous severe droughts that caused the people to rebel. It even became a folk snack for the locusts that once plagued the countryside.
But for this, the little emperor felt that it had nothing to do with him, it was entirely the efforts of several advisers under Cao Cao's rule, but Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had different ideas from him on this point.
Zhuge Liang gave a very simple example.
He asked the little emperor: Is Cao Cao a Hanchen?
For this question, the little emperor naturally has no other answer. He is now at the time when he has the highest trust in Cao Cao. Seeing him nodding, Zhuge Liang said again, I heard that there must be virtuous ministers and assistants by the side of Gu Zhiming. Since Cao Cao He is a subject of His Majesty, so all his blessed places are not the blessings that can only be obtained because of his loyalty to His Majesty?
It is precisely because Cao Mengde is loyal to His Majesty that these courtiers are attracted to assist him, and assisting him is equivalent to assisting His Majesty, so the conclusion is that Cao Mengde is capable because His Majesty is capable.
The little emperor was stunned by his little friend's shameless theory.
He muttered for a moment, convinced of his eloquence, couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that Zhuge Liang was just joking.
But it was amazing that he was a little bit persuaded.
The little emperor took a deep breath, he finally made a decision, he was going to sacrifice to heaven.
He was so ambitious before, if he didn't even dare to take the road of offering sacrifices to heaven, it would be a joke.
The sacrifice to heaven was set on the day of the little emperor's birthday. On that day, he happened to be 20 years old, the year when he was crowned. Although the little emperor had already been crowned in advance when he ascended the throne, for every man, 20 years old has a special meaning. meaningful.
The same is true for the little emperor, this day is not auspicious, but the little emperor still chose this day.
Seeing that he was willing to offer sacrifices to heaven, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty had no more requests, for fear that the little emperor would cancel the trip due to willfulness.
From Luoyang, the capital of the emperor, to Mount Tai, Dongyue, everyone walked for a full month, and the little emperor started fasting a month ago.
Since ancient times, there are only records of Fengchan, and there is no record of emperors offering sacrifices to heaven. How to sacrifice to heaven and the ritual system cannot be tested. much smaller than recorded.
But despite this, there are hundreds of carriages in a mighty manner. In addition to his here, there are also Cao Jun who reached Dongyue first, and the princes and kings.
Since they were going to offer sacrifices to heaven, the princes surnamed Liu would naturally also come together.
The little emperor got off the frame. His birthday was March in the lunar calendar, which was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, but it was just like his impression of this season.
In spring, although the wind is cool, there are always a few wisps of warmth.
Although it is unpredictable, there is hope.So he rejected the best auspicious day, which was in the middle of summer this year.
He hopes that his country can be like spring. There will be many problems and difficulties, but everyone can work together, just like the bean sprouts that Duke Xia showed him.
If there is no pressure from above, it can only become a thin one that is easy to fall down. Only by carrying the pressure forward can it become a thick one.
Therefore, under his strong request, the sacrifice to the sky this time has soaked bean sprouts, so as to show the sky his determination to carry forward with heavy burdens.
In addition to bean sprouts, he insisted on bringing some special offerings, wondering if God would like them.
In terms of Mount Tai's theory of offering sacrifices to the heavens, it is natural to do it in one go.
However, the emperor usually wears a thick and solemn uniform at this time, wearing a crown, and carries a heavy burden all over his body, and the way to climb Mount Tai is not smooth at all.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible to climb up in one go.
For this reason, when the little emperor decided to sacrifice to heaven, he began to exercise. He specially selected a few guards who were short in stature, but joined the assault battalion soldiers through acquired efforts to listen to them teach him how to Increase stamina.
In the end, his nonsense behavior was quickly stopped. Huangfusong, who was born in the military, took the little emperor to experience the training schedule of the generals' children. He gritted his teeth and held on under repeated torture.
At that time, he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to climb to the peak where Jitian was located in one breath.
But no matter how much preparation he made in advance, when he really started to climb Mount Tai, he realized that what he thought was still too simple.
The steepness of Mount Tai was far beyond his imagination.
Although the emperors of all dynasties have reclaimed the stone steps when they were enshrining Zen, it has been a full 150 years since the previous emperor who enshrined Zen, that is, the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the little emperor Liu Xie. In the past 150 years, there has been no large-scale road construction in Mount Tai.Of course there is no need to mention the stairs.
The stone steps are rough, and there is a cross wind in the mountain stream, and a careless person can be blown to one side or another.
Since it was for offering sacrifices to the heavens, the emperor was naturally the one who walked first.
Such a large number of people entered Mount Tai, which also alarmed the small animals in the mountains and forests. Liu Xie, who was the first to walk, had to face the constant shock of small animals rushing out.
Mount Tai, Zhongyue, is recognized as a sacred mountain that can lead directly to heaven, and the animals here have no foreign enemies.
Even the most daring thieves dare not enter Mount Tai without authorization.The ecology here is very well preserved. Liu Xie even saw deer poking its head in the forest, and precious birds hanging down their beautiful feathers among the branches.
More than once, a small official came to ask if he wanted to stop and take a rest, and then capture these auspicious signs, but Liu Xie refused.
He can't stop, and now if he stops, he will fall short.The little emperor was so tired that he had already started exhaling through his mouth. This is a method of exhaling that General Huangfu taught him. He inhaled air through his nose, rotated it with his abdominal cavity, and then exhaled through his mouth. of fatigue.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Liu Xie thinks it seems to be better.
Wait until they're halfway up the mountain.The sky suddenly turned to the sun, and the sun was shining directly. The weather that should have been cool turned out to be getting hotter and hotter. It might be because of the rain just the day before, and the air quickly became sultry.
As a formal attire for worshiping heaven, the emperor's robe worn by Liu Xie was made of extremely thick materials, and in order to achieve the drape of the fabric, a large amount of starch-washed cloth was used, which was much heavier than ordinary clothes.Also because it is winter and spring at this time, and the weather is still cold, some efforts have been made to keep warm when making this robe, so that it is extremely airtight.
Liu Xie could clearly feel the movement of beads of sweat rolling down his spine, a little itchy and hot.
Liu Xie held the memorial book to be used for worshiping heaven with both hands.When offering sacrifices to heaven, he will recite between heaven and earth with sacrificial texts.
Because of the posture with his hands raised, his physical exertion was greater than expected. Seeing him sweating non-stop, a little Huangmen trotted over immediately, and took out a silk to dry the sweat on his face , and asked him whether to entrust the memorial to others. In fact, as far as the etiquette system is concerned, there is no need for the emperor to present the memorial.
Liu Xie couldn't help hesitating for a moment, his lips moved, and he was about to agree, but he suddenly thought of that pot of bean sprouts that he personally germinated when he was still in Changyi.
I thought of the short but thick bean sprouts under my own gradual pressure.
Thinking of the green shoots that suddenly jumped to the heights when he removed the pressure one day, with thick accumulation and thin hair.
He can indeed hand over the scroll to the little yellow gate at this time, and he can also hand over the heavy saber and pendant around his waist to the little yellow gate. Naturally, he can also take off the crown and hand it over to the ritual crown. What the ceremony had to say required the emperor to complete the task.
He can take off his formal clothes and put on a light robe, and go into battle lightly.
After arriving in the heavenly court, he will change into the ceremonial robe. There are many people behind him who can hold these for him.
However, this is not what he wants.
The crown on his head is his power and his pressure.
The scroll in his hand is his sincere wish to beg for the peace of the world and the smoothness of the wind and rain, as the father of the king, on behalf of all the people.
The saber on his waist is the weapon of the great man to build a country.
His pendant is a sacrificial vessel, and it is his respectful heart to God.
If he handed over these things to others one by one, then, even if he could reach the altar with the most relaxed posture, what would be the use.
He is the king of this world, and he should be the one who bears the heaviest burden in this world.
Before, a long time ago, he had already made a decision. He had to bear the rise and fall and honor and disgrace of this dynasty, the sins and hard work of his ancestors, the expectations of the people, and Cao Aiqing's love for him. trust.
Only in this way can he be called the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is a crown, a book, a saber, sacrificial clothing, or a ritual vessel.
It is his pressure and his motivation.
Today, the little emperor, who is just reaching the age of the crown, refused the help of others. As he climbed, the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.
Under the cover of the thick sacrificial robe on his body, his underwear was already soaked through.
He was thirsty and hot, but he never stopped his steps.
The officials behind have gradually lost touch.
In this regard, Liu Xie was not surprised. He ordered that if the officials who couldn't bear it could rest here, they just had to arrive before the auspicious time. Don't force yourself, but it will hurt your body.
As soon as he issued this order, the team lost half of the people in an instant.For such a situation, Liu Xie only smiled slightly.
He kept walking, and when he climbed two-thirds of the way, the sun was already in the sky.
As the terrain rises, the terrain becomes open, without the shade of the trees, and the air becomes hotter.
This time, the little Huangmen, who had to wait behind him all the time, couldn't hold on any longer. This little Huangmen was the one who was sent by Liu Xie to report to Cao Cao.
That year, although he successfully completed the task, his body suffered a loss. Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes gradually lost focus, Liu Xie ordered someone to force Xiao Huangmen to rest under the shade of a tree.Little Huangmen struggled to follow him. Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled at him, and he told this little Huangmen who had been by his side since childhood, not to worry about me.
For the rest of the journey, he will walk alone.
He must also be able to walk alone.
Liu Xie was at the forefront of the entire team.
There was no one else beside him.
This place has reached the stage of inaccessibility, and the road becomes more bumpy and difficult as you climb up.
There is no guardrail behind them, and if they make a wrong step, they will fall into the abyss.
There was no one to guide him, and all he could see were the faint footprints left by his ancestors. Liu Xie didn't even know if he was going in the right direction.But he can only move forward step by step based on his own feelings. No one will tell him the correct answer, and no one can tell him.
In front of him are countless steps, the towering Mount Tai.
Behind him are the panting and trying to follow his courtiers.
Around him, a thin layer of mist slowly began to linger, isolating him from the crowd.
For a moment, the little emperor felt at a loss.
He is tired and he is lonely.
His hands and feet were trembling, and his mind was a little dizzy. He was only 20 years old this year, but at this time he felt that he was five or sixty years old.
This is the way of Fengzen.
The way he walked, was before him.Only the founding emperor can walk through it.
Qin Huang, Han Wu, Guang Wu, and then him.
He did not have the strength to start a dynasty, and he may not be very smart, but he is still on this path today.
He has no achievements to show to God, the only thing he has, may be, this stubborn spirit
He's really really tired.
The little emperor born in Jingui may have never suffered such a big hardship in his life.
Because he was too tired, he couldn't help recalling the past days in his mind.
Carefree childhood, the days of walking on thin ice under the empress, the elder brother who was poisoned, and the life under control, in order to escape from Li Que's control, he fought with all his might, was covered in injuries, did not dare to stop running, his face was yellow and emaciated The subjects, the lost eyes, and finally the thick palm that Cao Aiqing handed over.
Then, he lived and studied in Yanzhou, broadened his horizons, walked into the fields, wielded a hoe, and contacted the people.
He understood a lot of truths that sage books would never teach him.
He was groping how to become an emperor, how to become an emperor who met everyone's expectations, and no one could teach him this.
Finally, he came here step by step.
Liu Xie stopped walking slowly. At this time, a gust of wind in the mountains blew away the lingering clouds and mists a little, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
At this time, the auspicious time has not yet arrived.Only half of the courtiers have arrived, and most of them are generals.
Liu Xie waved back the little official who barely followed him to help him change his clothes. He stood on the top of the mountain, and the altar in front of him was in ruins.
The place that has not been repaired for more than a hundred years has made this place of worship a somewhat out of place scenery in the sea of flowers.
If the weather gets hotter and the plants enter the vigorous growth period, I'm afraid this altar will be completely buried by flowers and plants.
But no matter how inconspicuous it is, this is a place that only the founding emperor can reach.
He walked to the edge of the cliff step by step, and suddenly realized why Cao Cao insisted that he come to sacrifice to heaven.
Little Emperor Liu Xie lived in Luoyang City for a long time. He grew up in the royal court, and all he saw was royal style.
This can be seen from women's makeup and utensils, which rely on the development of manufacturing industry and the abundance of raw materials, so that people can have enough spare energy to cultivate small and exquisite things, as well as graceful and elegant women.
This is of course not a mistake, but for the little emperor who grew up in the palace and received the influence of this aspect from an early age, it directly affected his aesthetic orientation, and being immersed in this environment for a long time, it is easy to make people weak, which is why many people in later generations When teaching the offspring, they are not allowed to grow in the gentle and gentle township of Xiangruan.
Mount Tai is located on the other side of the Yellow River. Standing here, he can clearly see the meandering river, the clouds and the mountains.
Standing on the top of this mountain, Liu Xie suddenly felt three points of pride and five points of ambition.
This time, all the beautiful rivers and mountains are under his rule.
He couldn't help thinking that he was so proud and proud just because he came to sacrifice to the heavens, so what kind of mood would the Zen emperors who changed the world and created a prosperous and peaceful world feel like.
The wind that passed through the mountain stream became gentler, gently lifted the sleeves of the young emperor's clothes, and brushed away his scorching heat. The sun, which was still hot just now, felt gentle now, Liu Xie suddenly Feeling that he was not so tired anymore, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he could hear the majestic voices of his seniors.
They chattered, but he couldn't hear clearly for a while.He couldn't help raising his head slightly, trying to catch those three or four words.
While he was resting for a while, the clever little yellow gatekeeper had placed the altar, and carefully began to place the offerings on it.
In addition to the usual three animals and nine animals, several special tributes were placed here.
One is the bean sprouts issued by Liu Xie himself.In addition, there are three wooden utensils.
These three are the wooden models of the overturning car, the waterwheel, and the blower, and finally there is a clay pot, which is the locust sauce made last year. These things all come from Yanzhou. The little emperor sent someone to Yanzhou to find Xia Anran. need.
He felt that he had no achievements to show to the heavens, but he could try to promote these things to the whole country in the future.
Overturned carts and waterwheels can divert water from two different terrains to irrigate the fields, and locusts can turn disasters into treasures. During these days in Yanzhou, the little emperor watched the people go from being unacceptable to locusts to becoming accustomed to them, until finally the shadow of drought passed. It's a bit embarrassing without this delicacy.
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, disasters have never ceased, and floods and droughts have never ceased. Whenever there is a severe drought, it is useless to avoid disasters in the past, because there are always big locusts after the severe drought. In Yanzhou, Liu Xie listened to it The principle of this disaster, and how to deal with it, he also witnessed how Yanzhou and Yuzhou turned this potential catastrophe into a big harvest.
Liu Xie also changed from being frightened by fried locusts to... he loves to eat.
Until later, when the courtiers of the Han Dynasty said that the locusts were not plagued by His Majesty's blessings, the little emperor couldn't help covering his belly silently under the table, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Standing on the top of Mount Tai, he watched the ritual officials arrange the altar and light the lamps.
The auspicious time is approaching, all the officials are in place, and the little emperor unfolds the scroll in his hand in front of the crowd and above all the people.
Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth, God Emperor above, please listen to me.
I am Liu Xie, Son of Heaven.
I was born with little virtue and widowed character. Fortunately, the God Emperor blessed me and bestowed good ministers and enlightened teachers to protect me in the center of China and make my country last forever.
I know that if God wants to make us strong, it must suffer, toil, and starve. However, I beg the emperor to have mercy on the world and grant a period of rest for a hundred days.
Great China, great civilization.The wind of benevolence spreads far and wide, and Dahua travels around.
Even in modern times, it is weak and poor.The state and county are swaying, and the land has sunk for a hundred years.
The mourning soldiers rose up, and the golden ge struck the drum.Brothers are of one heart, and together resist foreign aggression.
Sacrificing one's life and spilling blood, one's arrogance is dry.Sweep away all the smoke and revive the universe.
Show the past and be wary of the future.Yongya Fuxuan, pray for peace.
My Han, Dangxing.
After Liu Xie finished reading the sacrificial oration, he closed the scroll.
This scroll is his last sacrifice.
Made of Yanzhou paper, light and strong, it can be printed, drawn, portable and transported.
It can be enlightened and educate the people.
He slowly placed the scroll in the cauldron, watching the rising flames lick the scroll clean bit by bit.
At this time, my heart was agitated, so I don't need to say too much. He wrote the sacrificial oration himself, and it was revised by a well-educated person. Everyone disagreed with his self-effacing, thinking that it was detrimental to His Majesty's majesty, but the little emperor insisted, and he consciously There are no great talents, some only have a firm heart to move forward, and good luck like a godsend.
Suddenly, he heard a voice, the voice he had heard just now, but it was a little clearer now.
"Can you bless the people, be strict with yourself, and work hard to govern?"
"Is it possible that you are as open-minded as you are, and follow advice like a stream?"
"You may bear the weight of the country, the weight of the hearts of the people, and the weight of the backbone of the Han Dynasty?"
"...I can."
"I only hope that Cathay Pacific and the people are safe," the little emperor paused and smiled slightly. "The road to becoming an emperor is long and unknowable, and I will search up and down."
"My name is Liu Xie, and I am the Son of Heaven."
"—Since you are the son of heaven, you should be unrestrained, publicized, and you are the king, and you will look like a big man."
"stand up!"
"In this world, there is nothing that can make me kneel."
"Standing and fighting is your pride as an emperor."
"You are the dragon, the backbone of the world."
"The spine can be bent, but not bent."
"Liu Xie... be taught." The young emperor breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up straight, bowed deeply towards the place where the voice came from, as a junior.
Just when his mood was agitated, he heard the exclamation of the officials behind him.
The ceremonial officer at the side also let out a voice of panting violently due to his fluctuating mood, and then he leaned over beside the kneeling little emperor, "Your Majesty, Honglong is sending a message, a good omen!"
Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, he stood up straight, turned around to look, and saw a rainbow bridge between the mountain streams, looming between the clouds and waves, as if a passage between this bank and the other bank had been really built, and it happened for a while The breeze rolled up the ashes of the sacrificial oracle, and sent it to the Hongqiao location, as if there really was a tornado that they couldn't see and sent the emperor's prayer to the sky.
All the ministers looked at all this with admiration, and even the veteran who had been in the two dynasties knelt down excitedly.
But at this moment, the center of the crowd, the protagonist who should have been the most excited—little emperor Liu Xie returned rationally after the initial excitement and surprise passed, and then doubts arose in his heart.
His gaze silently fell to the back of the crowd, where several counselors of Cao Ying were. Among them was Xia Anran, whose official title was not enough to participate in offering sacrifices to heaven, but who was exceptionally allowed because of his merits in Qianqiu's creation.
In an instant, the little emperor had a thought that could be said to be treasonous—this "miracle"...wasn't really created by Xia Jingxi?
...No, it would be disrespectful to think so.
The author has something to say: Many years ago:
Xia Miao took the soybean sprouts that were going to be cooked in the hot pot today and said to the young boys, "The bean sprouts must be pressed to taste delicious. If you don't press them, they will grow thin and fragile."
The little emperor: ... Jade cannot be cut without being cut, and bean sprouts cannot be eaten without being crushed.
Xia Miao teaches the children scientific knowledge: There are so many liars in this idea!Such things as crushing boulders on the chest, summoning rainbows, breathing fire, extracting things from oil, white rainbow piercing the sun, and the appearance of Buddha's light are all fake!
The three children stared wide-eyed: Teacher... Then, where is Xiangrui in the wheat field?
Xia Miao: …………………
Many years later.
Subject A: Your Majesty, there is an auspicious appearance in a certain place, and it is a white rainbow penetrating the sun.
Liu Xie (indifferent): Oh
Courtier B: Your Majesty, a god-man appears in a certain place, you can take a bath in the oil pan!
Liu Xie (indifferent replay): Oh
Courtier C: Your Majesty, there is an auspicious appearance in a certain place, and there is a giant ear of wheat!
Liu Xie: Huh?Show it to me!
======
The bean sprouts are indeed chunky and tastier, while the thin ones are tasteless.
Waiting for the heart of Mount Tai is actually tempering the mind of the little emperor.
He thought he had made all the preparations, but in fact he hadn't. Many things were always more difficult to do than to think about.
People live in the world, they must walk with a heavy load, you think you are relaxed, but it is because someone else is pushing you up, maybe a parent, a friend, or a lover.
But one day, you have to stand up to yourself.
Remember, it is not terrible pressure, it is the driving force for you to move forward, it is the strength for you to become stronger, and it is the help for you to become white and tender bean sprouts.
You can escape for a while, but don't escape for a lifetime. There is nothing you can't do except die.
Huaxia can stand up from the mud in 60 years, what can't you do?
You are a child of the Chinese nation, the spine of the body can be bent, but the spine of the heart cannot.
The little emperor has no confidence in himself, and being too humble is also a problem. He is a child, there is no problem, but he is an emperor.
The backbone of the emperor's heart can never be bent.
PS: ... If the spine is really bent, remember to see a doctor as soon as possible, it's time for physical therapy and surgery.Young children must keep their backs straight when walking, especially girls, their backs are not good-looking.Be more confident.
You see, the author has planted so many flags, but I am also very confident. I feel that I can lose one flag every day.
The last part of the sacrificial text is the tripod text of the National Memorial Day, the full text is as follows
Great China, great civilization.The wind of benevolence spreads far and wide, and Dahua travels around.
Even in modern times, it is weak and poor.Jiuyuan is swaying, and the land is sinking for a hundred years.
The Japanese invaders destroyed our Nanjing.He plundered Li Shu and slaughtered common people.

I changed some, and the writing is really good... At this time, I regretted that I didn't study Chinese in college, and now I always feel that the words don't express the meaning when writing essays.
When I was traveling in Nanjing, I went to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre. From the beginning of the queue to the time I came out, I cried...the tears were lower when I was older.
Although you don't care, you still have to say that the author will control the number of words when citing poems, and it will not affect the purchase points.
Although the principle of worshiping heaven is to tell God that I have been guided by you, I have changed my dynasty, changed my country's surname, and will become the new master of the world, and I will tell God my achievements to obtain permission and protection.
Whether it is useful or not, no one knows, because even Qin Shihuang's country was not peaceful after his trip to Zen.
But this behavior actually expressed a certain determination of the emperor, as well as self-confidence out of orthodoxy. After all, in today's era, there is still a saying that His Majesty is the Son of Heaven.
If you don't have enough self-confidence, or if you are not in the right position, you will be more or less afraid of God's punishment.
But Feng Chan can only be used when changing the country's surname, and the little emperor is naturally not allowed, he can only sacrifice to the sky.
It's hard to say what the little emperor felt when he heard this request. Out of the emperor's instinct, he wanted to agree very much.
Mount Tai's Zen ceremony can be said to be the peak of an emperor's career, and the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is not too much of a stretch. It can be said that once the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven is completed, it is equivalent to establishing his status as the lord of the world.
The edict is to tell the people, and the sacrifice to the genius is to tell the ancestors, the heaven, the earth and all things.
However, for his own sake, he dared not agree.
Because he was not born orthodox, his throne was established entirely by the traitor Dong Zhuo.Even a few years later, it was precisely because of his unstable background that Yuan Shu had the courage to become king on his own.
This may be an eternal scar in the heart of the little emperor Liu Xie.
Moreover, Liu Xie himself was also a little scared. He was afraid that when he offered sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai, the heavens would really issue a decree against it.
If thunder or rain fell from the sky when he was offering sacrifices to heaven, then what face would he have to continue to be the emperor of the Han Dynasty?
He wanted to shirk this matter, thinking that it was too early. Moreover, the matter of offering sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai was usually carried out when the new emperor succeeded to the throne. Although Liu Xie was young and had just taken charge of the government, in fact, he He has been named emperor for nearly ten years.
There is an emperor who ascends the throne ten years later and then tells the heavens that I have inherited the imperial system.
This is of course an excuse.
Everyone knows that this is an excuse. The fact is that the little emperor himself has doubts about his coming to the throne, so this will not work.If this point cannot be resolved, then this will be the psychological shadow of the little emperor for the rest of his life. Originally, he just wanted to make a suggestion, thinking that the little emperor would happily accept it. All the officials of the Han family fell silent for a while.Then everyone started chattering and trying to comfort Liu Xie.
But they only said four or five sentences, and they all shut up.
Because this can help the little emperor build confidence, it is the country and the people's peace after the new emperor ascends the throne, but the fact is that after the little emperor ascended the throne, the flames of war have never stopped, and he has encountered catastrophes one after another, frequent floods and droughts, and locust plagues. Not a convincing argument.
The only thing that can be called an auspicious omen happened under Cao Cao's rule.
By the way, Cao Cao, it was this girl who proposed the ceremony of offering sacrifices to the heavens on Mount Tai.
This was really beyond the expectations of the officials. They had already regarded the now powerful Cao Cao as an imaginary enemy, but they never expected that when Cao Cao came to preside over the move of His Majesty's capital to Luoyang, this move meant that he had no intention of holding hostage Second, after he finished cleaning the left and right counties, he returned the imperial guards to General Huangfusong, also expressing that he had no greed for military power.
The behavior of one or two made the clan members and ministers of the Han Dynasty a little confused.
Especially this time, the words Taishan offering sacrifices to heaven really suit their appetite.
These four words are like a huge fishing bait, placed in front of them, and standing behind him is a sly face of Cao Cao, holding a fishing rod in his hand, swinging up and down, as if to say, are you fooled, fooled ?
These Hanchens knew that Cao Mengde's actions had ulterior motives, but they really didn't understand, what was he trying to do?
But if it is to admit that Cao Mengde is a loyal minister of the big man, their previous imaginary enemies were all wrong, which makes these courtiers feel a little unwilling, because if they admit it like that, it will appear that they are villains.The courtiers who were hesitant at first, saw that Liu Xie was also hesitating at this moment, but they stopped hesitating.
Regardless of whether it is Cao Mengde's conspiracy or Yang's conspiracy, if the news of His Majesty's unwillingness to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens spreads, it will greatly damage His Majesty's majesty.
Self-conceited meritorious deeds are not enough, feel that you have not made real progress, feel shameless to go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, and have a guilty conscience and dare not go to Mount Tai to worship the heavens. These are two different things.
The latter is far more serious than the former. If this news spreads, His Majesty will lose face, and may even become the target of attacks by rebels.
You see, Cao Mengde didn't do anything, these loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty who could see clearly had already held the little emperor's hand and said, Your Majesty, you must, sacrifice to heaven, as long as the ritual of sacrifice to heaven is completed, the world will have no respect for your throne. The source is no longer in dispute.
After all, the emperor is the son of heaven, even if the success of the throne is involved, but if even heaven has already recognized it, then what qualifications do others have to say more?At this moment, they collectively ignored one thing, that is, what if God doesn't approve?
Hmm...how is this possible!
Liu Xie was also taken aback by the sudden tough attitude of the courtiers.But after thinking about it, he still felt a little unreliable, so he suppressed the matter and decided to discuss it again, and then returned to the inner palace. He asked his two little friends for their opinions on what happened in the hall today.
Both Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong reacted very coldly to this proposal. If they want to say why, it is probably because they have seen too many false auspicious signs in Cao Ying. One of the auspicious signs was once their little mount.
Although this series of experiences will not turn the two young boys into atheists, their trust in the gods has actually dropped a lot.
Understanding what the emperor was struggling with, Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong looked at each other, but they were extremely confident about it.
The little emperor was puzzled immediately, so he listened to the two young men explaining the facts to him. They first talked about the events before the little emperor succeeded to the throne. Because of the successive disasters at that time, the people were short of food and clothing, and the Emperor Ling sold his officials to confer titles, which made the people lose confidence in the royal family, and they naturally resented it.
But what about the little emperor after he succeeds to the throne?
Dong Zhuo was killed.
Although there was a severe drought in the sky, it was much smaller than the previous severe droughts that caused the people to rebel. It even became a folk snack for the locusts that once plagued the countryside.
But for this, the little emperor felt that it had nothing to do with him, it was entirely the efforts of several advisers under Cao Cao's rule, but Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong had different ideas from him on this point.
Zhuge Liang gave a very simple example.
He asked the little emperor: Is Cao Cao a Hanchen?
For this question, the little emperor naturally has no other answer. He is now at the time when he has the highest trust in Cao Cao. Seeing him nodding, Zhuge Liang said again, I heard that there must be virtuous ministers and assistants by the side of Gu Zhiming. Since Cao Cao He is a subject of His Majesty, so all his blessed places are not the blessings that can only be obtained because of his loyalty to His Majesty?
It is precisely because Cao Mengde is loyal to His Majesty that these courtiers are attracted to assist him, and assisting him is equivalent to assisting His Majesty, so the conclusion is that Cao Mengde is capable because His Majesty is capable.
The little emperor was stunned by his little friend's shameless theory.
He muttered for a moment, convinced of his eloquence, couldn't help but chuckle, realizing that Zhuge Liang was just joking.
But it was amazing that he was a little bit persuaded.
The little emperor took a deep breath, he finally made a decision, he was going to sacrifice to heaven.
He was so ambitious before, if he didn't even dare to take the road of offering sacrifices to heaven, it would be a joke.
The sacrifice to heaven was set on the day of the little emperor's birthday. On that day, he happened to be 20 years old, the year when he was crowned. Although the little emperor had already been crowned in advance when he ascended the throne, for every man, 20 years old has a special meaning. meaningful.
The same is true for the little emperor, this day is not auspicious, but the little emperor still chose this day.
Seeing that he was willing to offer sacrifices to heaven, the courtiers of the Han Dynasty had no more requests, for fear that the little emperor would cancel the trip due to willfulness.
From Luoyang, the capital of the emperor, to Mount Tai, Dongyue, everyone walked for a full month, and the little emperor started fasting a month ago.
Since ancient times, there are only records of Fengchan, and there is no record of emperors offering sacrifices to heaven. How to sacrifice to heaven and the ritual system cannot be tested. much smaller than recorded.
But despite this, there are hundreds of carriages in a mighty manner. In addition to his here, there are also Cao Jun who reached Dongyue first, and the princes and kings.
Since they were going to offer sacrifices to heaven, the princes surnamed Liu would naturally also come together.
The little emperor got off the frame. His birthday was March in the lunar calendar, which was the end of winter and the beginning of spring, but it was just like his impression of this season.
In spring, although the wind is cool, there are always a few wisps of warmth.
Although it is unpredictable, there is hope.So he rejected the best auspicious day, which was in the middle of summer this year.
He hopes that his country can be like spring. There will be many problems and difficulties, but everyone can work together, just like the bean sprouts that Duke Xia showed him.
If there is no pressure from above, it can only become a thin one that is easy to fall down. Only by carrying the pressure forward can it become a thick one.
Therefore, under his strong request, the sacrifice to the sky this time has soaked bean sprouts, so as to show the sky his determination to carry forward with heavy burdens.
In addition to bean sprouts, he insisted on bringing some special offerings, wondering if God would like them.
In terms of Mount Tai's theory of offering sacrifices to the heavens, it is natural to do it in one go.
However, the emperor usually wears a thick and solemn uniform at this time, wearing a crown, and carries a heavy burden all over his body, and the way to climb Mount Tai is not smooth at all.
In such a situation, it is almost impossible to climb up in one go.
For this reason, when the little emperor decided to sacrifice to heaven, he began to exercise. He specially selected a few guards who were short in stature, but joined the assault battalion soldiers through acquired efforts to listen to them teach him how to Increase stamina.
In the end, his nonsense behavior was quickly stopped. Huangfusong, who was born in the military, took the little emperor to experience the training schedule of the generals' children. He gritted his teeth and held on under repeated torture.
At that time, he had only one thought in his heart, and that was to climb to the peak where Jitian was located in one breath.
But no matter how much preparation he made in advance, when he really started to climb Mount Tai, he realized that what he thought was still too simple.
The steepness of Mount Tai was far beyond his imagination.
Although the emperors of all dynasties have reclaimed the stone steps when they were enshrining Zen, it has been a full 150 years since the previous emperor who enshrined Zen, that is, the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the little emperor Liu Xie. In the past 150 years, there has been no large-scale road construction in Mount Tai.Of course there is no need to mention the stairs.
The stone steps are rough, and there is a cross wind in the mountain stream, and a careless person can be blown to one side or another.
Since it was for offering sacrifices to the heavens, the emperor was naturally the one who walked first.
Such a large number of people entered Mount Tai, which also alarmed the small animals in the mountains and forests. Liu Xie, who was the first to walk, had to face the constant shock of small animals rushing out.
Mount Tai, Zhongyue, is recognized as a sacred mountain that can lead directly to heaven, and the animals here have no foreign enemies.
Even the most daring thieves dare not enter Mount Tai without authorization.The ecology here is very well preserved. Liu Xie even saw deer poking its head in the forest, and precious birds hanging down their beautiful feathers among the branches.
More than once, a small official came to ask if he wanted to stop and take a rest, and then capture these auspicious signs, but Liu Xie refused.
He can't stop, and now if he stops, he will fall short.The little emperor was so tired that he had already started exhaling through his mouth. This is a method of exhaling that General Huangfu taught him. He inhaled air through his nose, rotated it with his abdominal cavity, and then exhaled through his mouth. of fatigue.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Liu Xie thinks it seems to be better.
Wait until they're halfway up the mountain.The sky suddenly turned to the sun, and the sun was shining directly. The weather that should have been cool turned out to be getting hotter and hotter. It might be because of the rain just the day before, and the air quickly became sultry.
As a formal attire for worshiping heaven, the emperor's robe worn by Liu Xie was made of extremely thick materials, and in order to achieve the drape of the fabric, a large amount of starch-washed cloth was used, which was much heavier than ordinary clothes.Also because it is winter and spring at this time, and the weather is still cold, some efforts have been made to keep warm when making this robe, so that it is extremely airtight.
Liu Xie could clearly feel the movement of beads of sweat rolling down his spine, a little itchy and hot.
Liu Xie held the memorial book to be used for worshiping heaven with both hands.When offering sacrifices to heaven, he will recite between heaven and earth with sacrificial texts.
Because of the posture with his hands raised, his physical exertion was greater than expected. Seeing him sweating non-stop, a little Huangmen trotted over immediately, and took out a silk to dry the sweat on his face , and asked him whether to entrust the memorial to others. In fact, as far as the etiquette system is concerned, there is no need for the emperor to present the memorial.
Liu Xie couldn't help hesitating for a moment, his lips moved, and he was about to agree, but he suddenly thought of that pot of bean sprouts that he personally germinated when he was still in Changyi.
I thought of the short but thick bean sprouts under my own gradual pressure.
Thinking of the green shoots that suddenly jumped to the heights when he removed the pressure one day, with thick accumulation and thin hair.
He can indeed hand over the scroll to the little yellow gate at this time, and he can also hand over the heavy saber and pendant around his waist to the little yellow gate. Naturally, he can also take off the crown and hand it over to the ritual crown. What the ceremony had to say required the emperor to complete the task.
He can take off his formal clothes and put on a light robe, and go into battle lightly.
After arriving in the heavenly court, he will change into the ceremonial robe. There are many people behind him who can hold these for him.
However, this is not what he wants.
The crown on his head is his power and his pressure.
The scroll in his hand is his sincere wish to beg for the peace of the world and the smoothness of the wind and rain, as the father of the king, on behalf of all the people.
The saber on his waist is the weapon of the great man to build a country.
His pendant is a sacrificial vessel, and it is his respectful heart to God.
If he handed over these things to others one by one, then, even if he could reach the altar with the most relaxed posture, what would be the use.
He is the king of this world, and he should be the one who bears the heaviest burden in this world.
Before, a long time ago, he had already made a decision. He had to bear the rise and fall and honor and disgrace of this dynasty, the sins and hard work of his ancestors, the expectations of the people, and Cao Aiqing's love for him. trust.
Only in this way can he be called the emperor of the Han Dynasty.
Whether it is a crown, a book, a saber, sacrificial clothing, or a ritual vessel.
It is his pressure and his motivation.
Today, the little emperor, who is just reaching the age of the crown, refused the help of others. As he climbed, the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.
Under the cover of the thick sacrificial robe on his body, his underwear was already soaked through.
He was thirsty and hot, but he never stopped his steps.
The officials behind have gradually lost touch.
In this regard, Liu Xie was not surprised. He ordered that if the officials who couldn't bear it could rest here, they just had to arrive before the auspicious time. Don't force yourself, but it will hurt your body.
As soon as he issued this order, the team lost half of the people in an instant.For such a situation, Liu Xie only smiled slightly.
He kept walking, and when he climbed two-thirds of the way, the sun was already in the sky.
As the terrain rises, the terrain becomes open, without the shade of the trees, and the air becomes hotter.
This time, the little Huangmen, who had to wait behind him all the time, couldn't hold on any longer. This little Huangmen was the one who was sent by Liu Xie to report to Cao Cao.
That year, although he successfully completed the task, his body suffered a loss. Seeing that his face was flushed and his eyes gradually lost focus, Liu Xie ordered someone to force Xiao Huangmen to rest under the shade of a tree.Little Huangmen struggled to follow him. Seeing this, Liu Xie smiled at him, and he told this little Huangmen who had been by his side since childhood, not to worry about me.
For the rest of the journey, he will walk alone.
He must also be able to walk alone.
Liu Xie was at the forefront of the entire team.
There was no one else beside him.
This place has reached the stage of inaccessibility, and the road becomes more bumpy and difficult as you climb up.
There is no guardrail behind them, and if they make a wrong step, they will fall into the abyss.
There was no one to guide him, and all he could see were the faint footprints left by his ancestors. Liu Xie didn't even know if he was going in the right direction.But he can only move forward step by step based on his own feelings. No one will tell him the correct answer, and no one can tell him.
In front of him are countless steps, the towering Mount Tai.
Behind him are the panting and trying to follow his courtiers.
Around him, a thin layer of mist slowly began to linger, isolating him from the crowd.
For a moment, the little emperor felt at a loss.
He is tired and he is lonely.
His hands and feet were trembling, and his mind was a little dizzy. He was only 20 years old this year, but at this time he felt that he was five or sixty years old.
This is the way of Fengzen.
The way he walked, was before him.Only the founding emperor can walk through it.
Qin Huang, Han Wu, Guang Wu, and then him.
He did not have the strength to start a dynasty, and he may not be very smart, but he is still on this path today.
He has no achievements to show to God, the only thing he has, may be, this stubborn spirit
He's really really tired.
The little emperor born in Jingui may have never suffered such a big hardship in his life.
Because he was too tired, he couldn't help recalling the past days in his mind.
Carefree childhood, the days of walking on thin ice under the empress, the elder brother who was poisoned, and the life under control, in order to escape from Li Que's control, he fought with all his might, was covered in injuries, did not dare to stop running, his face was yellow and emaciated The subjects, the lost eyes, and finally the thick palm that Cao Aiqing handed over.
Then, he lived and studied in Yanzhou, broadened his horizons, walked into the fields, wielded a hoe, and contacted the people.
He understood a lot of truths that sage books would never teach him.
He was groping how to become an emperor, how to become an emperor who met everyone's expectations, and no one could teach him this.
Finally, he came here step by step.
Liu Xie stopped walking slowly. At this time, a gust of wind in the mountains blew away the lingering clouds and mists a little, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
At this time, the auspicious time has not yet arrived.Only half of the courtiers have arrived, and most of them are generals.
Liu Xie waved back the little official who barely followed him to help him change his clothes. He stood on the top of the mountain, and the altar in front of him was in ruins.
The place that has not been repaired for more than a hundred years has made this place of worship a somewhat out of place scenery in the sea of flowers.
If the weather gets hotter and the plants enter the vigorous growth period, I'm afraid this altar will be completely buried by flowers and plants.
But no matter how inconspicuous it is, this is a place that only the founding emperor can reach.
He walked to the edge of the cliff step by step, and suddenly realized why Cao Cao insisted that he come to sacrifice to heaven.
Little Emperor Liu Xie lived in Luoyang City for a long time. He grew up in the royal court, and all he saw was royal style.
This can be seen from women's makeup and utensils, which rely on the development of manufacturing industry and the abundance of raw materials, so that people can have enough spare energy to cultivate small and exquisite things, as well as graceful and elegant women.
This is of course not a mistake, but for the little emperor who grew up in the palace and received the influence of this aspect from an early age, it directly affected his aesthetic orientation, and being immersed in this environment for a long time, it is easy to make people weak, which is why many people in later generations When teaching the offspring, they are not allowed to grow in the gentle and gentle township of Xiangruan.
Mount Tai is located on the other side of the Yellow River. Standing here, he can clearly see the meandering river, the clouds and the mountains.
Standing on the top of this mountain, Liu Xie suddenly felt three points of pride and five points of ambition.
This time, all the beautiful rivers and mountains are under his rule.
He couldn't help thinking that he was so proud and proud just because he came to sacrifice to the heavens, so what kind of mood would the Zen emperors who changed the world and created a prosperous and peaceful world feel like.
The wind that passed through the mountain stream became gentler, gently lifted the sleeves of the young emperor's clothes, and brushed away his scorching heat. The sun, which was still hot just now, felt gentle now, Liu Xie suddenly Feeling that he was not so tired anymore, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he could hear the majestic voices of his seniors.
They chattered, but he couldn't hear clearly for a while.He couldn't help raising his head slightly, trying to catch those three or four words.
While he was resting for a while, the clever little yellow gatekeeper had placed the altar, and carefully began to place the offerings on it.
In addition to the usual three animals and nine animals, several special tributes were placed here.
One is the bean sprouts issued by Liu Xie himself.In addition, there are three wooden utensils.
These three are the wooden models of the overturning car, the waterwheel, and the blower, and finally there is a clay pot, which is the locust sauce made last year. These things all come from Yanzhou. The little emperor sent someone to Yanzhou to find Xia Anran. need.
He felt that he had no achievements to show to the heavens, but he could try to promote these things to the whole country in the future.
Overturned carts and waterwheels can divert water from two different terrains to irrigate the fields, and locusts can turn disasters into treasures. During these days in Yanzhou, the little emperor watched the people go from being unacceptable to locusts to becoming accustomed to them, until finally the shadow of drought passed. It's a bit embarrassing without this delicacy.
Since the beginning of the Han Dynasty, disasters have never ceased, and floods and droughts have never ceased. Whenever there is a severe drought, it is useless to avoid disasters in the past, because there are always big locusts after the severe drought. In Yanzhou, Liu Xie listened to it The principle of this disaster, and how to deal with it, he also witnessed how Yanzhou and Yuzhou turned this potential catastrophe into a big harvest.
Liu Xie also changed from being frightened by fried locusts to... he loves to eat.
Until later, when the courtiers of the Han Dynasty said that the locusts were not plagued by His Majesty's blessings, the little emperor couldn't help covering his belly silently under the table, feeling a little regretful in his heart.
Standing on the top of Mount Tai, he watched the ritual officials arrange the altar and light the lamps.
The auspicious time is approaching, all the officials are in place, and the little emperor unfolds the scroll in his hand in front of the crowd and above all the people.
Emperor Heaven and Empress Earth, God Emperor above, please listen to me.
I am Liu Xie, Son of Heaven.
I was born with little virtue and widowed character. Fortunately, the God Emperor blessed me and bestowed good ministers and enlightened teachers to protect me in the center of China and make my country last forever.
I know that if God wants to make us strong, it must suffer, toil, and starve. However, I beg the emperor to have mercy on the world and grant a period of rest for a hundred days.
Great China, great civilization.The wind of benevolence spreads far and wide, and Dahua travels around.
Even in modern times, it is weak and poor.The state and county are swaying, and the land has sunk for a hundred years.
The mourning soldiers rose up, and the golden ge struck the drum.Brothers are of one heart, and together resist foreign aggression.
Sacrificing one's life and spilling blood, one's arrogance is dry.Sweep away all the smoke and revive the universe.
Show the past and be wary of the future.Yongya Fuxuan, pray for peace.
My Han, Dangxing.
After Liu Xie finished reading the sacrificial oration, he closed the scroll.
This scroll is his last sacrifice.
Made of Yanzhou paper, light and strong, it can be printed, drawn, portable and transported.
It can be enlightened and educate the people.
He slowly placed the scroll in the cauldron, watching the rising flames lick the scroll clean bit by bit.
At this time, my heart was agitated, so I don't need to say too much. He wrote the sacrificial oration himself, and it was revised by a well-educated person. Everyone disagreed with his self-effacing, thinking that it was detrimental to His Majesty's majesty, but the little emperor insisted, and he consciously There are no great talents, some only have a firm heart to move forward, and good luck like a godsend.
Suddenly, he heard a voice, the voice he had heard just now, but it was a little clearer now.
"Can you bless the people, be strict with yourself, and work hard to govern?"
"Is it possible that you are as open-minded as you are, and follow advice like a stream?"
"You may bear the weight of the country, the weight of the hearts of the people, and the weight of the backbone of the Han Dynasty?"
"...I can."
"I only hope that Cathay Pacific and the people are safe," the little emperor paused and smiled slightly. "The road to becoming an emperor is long and unknowable, and I will search up and down."
"My name is Liu Xie, and I am the Son of Heaven."
"—Since you are the son of heaven, you should be unrestrained, publicized, and you are the king, and you will look like a big man."
"stand up!"
"In this world, there is nothing that can make me kneel."
"Standing and fighting is your pride as an emperor."
"You are the dragon, the backbone of the world."
"The spine can be bent, but not bent."
"Liu Xie... be taught." The young emperor breathed a sigh of relief, he stood up straight, bowed deeply towards the place where the voice came from, as a junior.
Just when his mood was agitated, he heard the exclamation of the officials behind him.
The ceremonial officer at the side also let out a voice of panting violently due to his fluctuating mood, and then he leaned over beside the kneeling little emperor, "Your Majesty, Honglong is sending a message, a good omen!"
Liu Xie was slightly taken aback, he stood up straight, turned around to look, and saw a rainbow bridge between the mountain streams, looming between the clouds and waves, as if a passage between this bank and the other bank had been really built, and it happened for a while The breeze rolled up the ashes of the sacrificial oracle, and sent it to the Hongqiao location, as if there really was a tornado that they couldn't see and sent the emperor's prayer to the sky.
All the ministers looked at all this with admiration, and even the veteran who had been in the two dynasties knelt down excitedly.
But at this moment, the center of the crowd, the protagonist who should have been the most excited—little emperor Liu Xie returned rationally after the initial excitement and surprise passed, and then doubts arose in his heart.
His gaze silently fell to the back of the crowd, where several counselors of Cao Ying were. Among them was Xia Anran, whose official title was not enough to participate in offering sacrifices to heaven, but who was exceptionally allowed because of his merits in Qianqiu's creation.
In an instant, the little emperor had a thought that could be said to be treasonous—this "miracle"...wasn't really created by Xia Jingxi?
...No, it would be disrespectful to think so.
The author has something to say: Many years ago:
Xia Miao took the soybean sprouts that were going to be cooked in the hot pot today and said to the young boys, "The bean sprouts must be pressed to taste delicious. If you don't press them, they will grow thin and fragile."
The little emperor: ... Jade cannot be cut without being cut, and bean sprouts cannot be eaten without being crushed.
Xia Miao teaches the children scientific knowledge: There are so many liars in this idea!Such things as crushing boulders on the chest, summoning rainbows, breathing fire, extracting things from oil, white rainbow piercing the sun, and the appearance of Buddha's light are all fake!
The three children stared wide-eyed: Teacher... Then, where is Xiangrui in the wheat field?
Xia Miao: …………………
Many years later.
Subject A: Your Majesty, there is an auspicious appearance in a certain place, and it is a white rainbow penetrating the sun.
Liu Xie (indifferent): Oh
Courtier B: Your Majesty, a god-man appears in a certain place, you can take a bath in the oil pan!
Liu Xie (indifferent replay): Oh
Courtier C: Your Majesty, there is an auspicious appearance in a certain place, and there is a giant ear of wheat!
Liu Xie: Huh?Show it to me!
======
The bean sprouts are indeed chunky and tastier, while the thin ones are tasteless.
Waiting for the heart of Mount Tai is actually tempering the mind of the little emperor.
He thought he had made all the preparations, but in fact he hadn't. Many things were always more difficult to do than to think about.
People live in the world, they must walk with a heavy load, you think you are relaxed, but it is because someone else is pushing you up, maybe a parent, a friend, or a lover.
But one day, you have to stand up to yourself.
Remember, it is not terrible pressure, it is the driving force for you to move forward, it is the strength for you to become stronger, and it is the help for you to become white and tender bean sprouts.
You can escape for a while, but don't escape for a lifetime. There is nothing you can't do except die.
Huaxia can stand up from the mud in 60 years, what can't you do?
You are a child of the Chinese nation, the spine of the body can be bent, but the spine of the heart cannot.
The little emperor has no confidence in himself, and being too humble is also a problem. He is a child, there is no problem, but he is an emperor.
The backbone of the emperor's heart can never be bent.
PS: ... If the spine is really bent, remember to see a doctor as soon as possible, it's time for physical therapy and surgery.Young children must keep their backs straight when walking, especially girls, their backs are not good-looking.Be more confident.
You see, the author has planted so many flags, but I am also very confident. I feel that I can lose one flag every day.
The last part of the sacrificial text is the tripod text of the National Memorial Day, the full text is as follows
Great China, great civilization.The wind of benevolence spreads far and wide, and Dahua travels around.
Even in modern times, it is weak and poor.Jiuyuan is swaying, and the land is sinking for a hundred years.
The Japanese invaders destroyed our Nanjing.He plundered Li Shu and slaughtered common people.
The [-] dead souls hate Jiangcheng.The sun and the moon were bleak, and the world was shocked.
The tyranny of bestiality is unheard of in the world.Compatriot He Gu, the country is in trouble.
The mourning soldiers rose up, and the golden ge struck the drum.Brothers are of one heart, and together resist foreign aggression.
Sacrificing one's life and spilling blood, one's arrogance is dry.Sweep away all the smoke and revive the universe.
Yiyou is both victorious, and the family and country are restored.Show the past and be wary of the future.
The state conducts public sacrifices, and laws and regulations are established.Cast this precious tripod and worship our country.
Yongya Fuxuan, pray for peace.China's dream come true, national rejuvenation.
I changed some, and the writing is really good... At this time, I regretted that I didn't study Chinese in college, and now I always feel that the words don't express the meaning when writing essays.
When I was traveling in Nanjing, I went to the Memorial Hall of the Victims in the Nanjing Massacre. From the beginning of the queue to the time I came out, I cried...the tears were lower when I was older.
Although you don't care, you still have to say that the author will control the number of words when citing poems, and it will not affect the purchase points.
