Chapter Eleven Southern Suburbs Worshiping Heaven
The eighth day of November is an auspicious day that makes more than three million soldiers and civilians in Qin, Liang, Liang, and Yizhou rejoice. From this day on, they will have their own country and can proudly claim to be Qin people!
Ten miles south of Shanggui, a simple but majestic circular altar stands majestically on the horizon. The altar is ten feet in circumference and five feet high. It is made of rammed earth and has three majestic seal characters erected on the top: Earth, Man, and Heaven!
At this altar, their King of Qin issued an edict to the world, and the Qin State was officially established!
One mile around the altar, there are teams of ten thousand cavalry stationed on each side, all with bright armor and sharp swords and guns. Although the knights have solemn faces, their faces are more or less excited. A little further away, they are densely surrounded.
The whole city was filled with people, not only the people from Shanggui, but also people from Qinzhou, Liangzhou, and even the two further states of Liang and Yi came to watch the ceremony.
"I heard that the people offering sacrifices to the heavens are God Haotian and the Great Emperors of the Five Directions. Why did the king establish his kingdom instead of offering sacrifices to the gods but instead offered sacrifices to the people of heaven and earth? Does anyone know?"
"Hey! The news is not well informed? The king said that the gods and Buddhas do not care about our life and death, so there is no need to worship!"
"The king also said frankly that the establishment of the Qin State relied on the unity of our ordinary people, so people were placed in the center, while the world that gave birth to us was put aside on both sides. It is said to be people-oriented!"
While the people were talking about it, "Dang! Dang! Dang!" the powerful sound of bells rang in the city!
This chapter: Xiongba (Hand Fight)
The crowd of onlookers quickly made way for a thoroughfare, and a procession of carriages and horses with a guard of honor drove out from the South City Gate. At the front was a crown-covered carriage, with Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun sitting on it. Yunfeng was wearing a crown gown and a seven-inch Guangqiu hat on his head.
, one foot and two inches long, in the green bead, on top of Xuan, hanging down four inches in front and three inches in back.
The Pingtian Crown (Twelve White Jade Beads of the Emperor) is tied with sapphire beads and is tasseled with ribbons. Zhang Lingyun is dressed in soap-colored temple clothes, with her hair pulled into a pony bun. She wears a
Fengguan. Behind them were the generals, officials and their respective relatives.
"We congratulate your Majesty on the founding of the Qin Kingdom, and the Qin Kingdom will be unified throughout the ages!" I don't know who took the lead. The people who greeted each other in the streets fell to the ground like dominoes, chanting congratulations loudly over and over again.
Words.
Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion. She gently held Shang Yunfeng's wrist. She smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, how do you feel now?"
Yunfeng found it strange that the people's congratulatory messages reminded him of the famous slogan of the Sun and Moon God Sect: Unify the world for generations to come!
Quickly putting away this absurd thought, Yunfeng raised his hand and said loudly: "Everyone, please get up." Then he turned to Zhang Lingyun and smiled lowly: "I feel so good naturally, and the pores all over my body are extremely comfortable.
"
Zhang Lingyun was secretly angry, what did you say? Do you look like a great king? She couldn't help but rolled her eyes angrily: "We haven't even established a country yet. You are already a loner. Yunlang, you are really good!"
"
Yunfeng said indifferently: "My dear concubine, I wonder who first called Gu the king?"
Hearing the word "beloved concubine", Zhang Lingyun suddenly felt chills standing on end, and his chest and abdomen were churning. Subconsciously, he raised his wrist, wanting to pinch him hard! Then he woke up, today is the day to establish a country and become a king.
Damn, this is a solemn occasion, so I had to hum and swallow down my depressed mood. Ignore this person anymore! However, Zhang Lingyun couldn't help but put a smile on her face.
Yunfeng was secretly amused and stopped making any teasing words. He just waved to the outside and loudly persuaded the people to get up.
Although the distance of ten miles was not long, the speed of the convoy was very slow. It took about half an hour for the caravan to reach the bottom of the altar. Qiao Xiu was Yunfeng's teacher and was too often, so he naturally presided over the ceremony this time.
Seeing Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun step off the carriage steadily, Qiao Xiu waved his hand fiercely, and suddenly, the sound of ritual music was loud, exaggerating a solemn and solemn atmosphere. Then, Qiao Xiu saluted and said: "I have ordered Taishi to choose Yuan.
Chen, the eighth day of this month is auspicious. You can go to the altar to receive orders. Please give orders to the three princes, ministers, officers and people, and prepare a special etiquette! Please go to the altar with the king and princess!"
It stands to reason that there was no precedent for queens or princesses ascending the altar during the Han and Jin dynasties. Women ascending the altar to worship heaven began in the Tang Dynasty. However, due to Yunfeng's persistence, this very significant historical process was advanced hundreds of years.
.
Yunfeng did not return the gift to Qiao Xiu, but replied calmly: "Yes!" Then he and Zhang Lingyun slowly climbed onto the altar.
There are three major steps for an emperor to ascend the throne: read policies, grant seals, and burn sacrifices to heaven and earth. Although Yunfeng did not proclaim himself emperor but only king, the etiquette arranged was the same as before.
Qiao Xiu waved his hand again, and the sound of the ceremony and music suddenly stopped. Then, Qiao Xiu also stepped onto the altar, held a book and recited: "On the eighth day of the eleventh month in the winter of the first year of Taining, King Qin Feng was humble and kind, and he was famous as a god and warrior. It is appropriate to worship him."
The suburban temple was the great cause of unification. Today,
The army and people of the four states of Qin, Liang, Liang, and Yi, the Sangong and Jiuqing, hundreds of civil and military officials, were appointed to the throne of Qin Wangfeng as the great king of Qin..." The article is very long, focusing on recalling Yunfeng's journey along the way, highlighting the founding of the country.
reasonable and legal.
After Qiao Xiu finished reading, it was Taiwei Yang Ming's turn. Soon after, Yang Ming was promoted to Taiwei. After Yang Ming's recommendation, Qinzhou governor changed the title to Li Xiang, but Yunfeng was no longer suitable to serve as Liangzhou shepherd.
Liangzhou Zhizhong Yin was promoted to the governor of Liangzhou.
Yang Ming held the seal ribbon in his hand, climbed onto the altar, faced east and knelt down to Yunfeng and said: "I, on behalf of all the officials, present the seal and ribbon of the King of Qin to your Majesty!"
Although Yun Feng was extremely uncomfortable with it, he could only let it go in this situation, so he took the ribbon, raised his hand and said: "Please get up, Taiwei."
"I thank you, Your Majesty!" Yang Ming stood up and stepped aside.
At this time, Qiao Xiu shouted again: "Please the king and princess to offer sacrifices to heaven!" and held out fruits and vegetables.
Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun took them respectively and placed them on the tables in front of the heaven and earth. They performed the great ceremony of being the head of the imperial examination. Qiao Xiu, Yang Ming and the officials and people under the altar also prostrated themselves on the ground.
Not long after, Yunfeng and Zhang Lingyun stood up after saluting, and everyone stood up. Yunfeng took the volume from the desk, faced everyone, and scanned the people one by one. The people under the altar, including his many Liangdi, all
Their faces were solemn. For them, this was a sacred moment, but for me, it was just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles.
Suddenly, a very strange thought came to mind. Is it an accident that I can travel back to this troubled world, or is it the will of God? However, even thinking about it makes my head hurt, but I still have no answer.
Then, Yunfeng's eyes narrowed, and he saw Yu Wenjun in the crowd. Although Yu Wenjun also had an upright face, if he looked closely, he could see that the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned. Obviously, among these hundreds of thousands of people, he was the one who took it the least seriously.
It's her!
