Chapter 5 Fengshan 2

The next morning, the Tiger Army, which was like a wolf and a tiger, captured all the main officials of Changshe County. After a brief investigation, the experienced Tingwei Feng Jie made the corrupt officials and historians shake clean like beans, and obtained a large amount of evidence of corruption. After reporting to the First Empress, the First Emperor was furious and ordered all beheadings, the family's wealth was confiscated, and all the family members were demoted to the border to guard the border!

From now on, although the First Emperor's itinerary remains unchanged, he will never meet local officials and village elders again! The officials at all levels who cannot figure out the truth are naturally frightened, but later when he saw that there was no thunder falling, he gradually felt relieved!

The First Emperor and his party arrived in Zoucheng and summoned twelve respected Confucian scholars from Lu to discuss the Fengshan period of Mount Tai!

Unexpectedly, the six doctors brought by the First Emperor and more than a dozen local Confucian scholars had a controversy again: this time it was about the road.

There were twelve Confucian scholars from Lu who attended the meeting. Their Confucian uniforms were high in the Confucian style, which seemed quite free and easy. The leader Zou Cheng had a rosy complexion and was full of energy: "Your Majesty, according to the ancient system, the emperor must walk up the top of the mountain to perform the etiquette of Fengshan! The ancient saint kings have always done this. Therefore, there is no road at present in Mount Tai, so I must ask Your Majesty to walk up the mountain!"

Ji Zhou, the doctor, said slowly: "Ancient system? It's not necessarily true. We can read all ancient books, but we have never seen this scripture. Besides, from the foot of Mount Tai to the top of the mountain, there are a total of 148 miles and 300 steps. If we really walk up with our feet, how many of us old people can get up!"

Zou Cheng said lightly: "Although Dr. Ji and others are old and weak, they cannot despise the conventions formed by the holy kings of ancient and modern times! Now that all the doctors cannot go, the ceremony of sacrifice to heaven will be left to us Lu people to complete it!"

Ji Zhou snorted and said angrily: "Nothing nonsense, Your Majesty is the first saint of all ages, so naturally it is different from before. What's more, we are the Central Doctor. Can't we preside over the sacrifice to heaven and you preside over it!"

Seeing the two gangs quarreling, Fusu couldn't help feeling ridiculous and wailing.

Of course, Fusu only regards this kind of controversy as two groups of corrupt scholars biting dogs, sleeping with their eyes open, just pretending that they didn’t hear it!

So, these two groups of Confucian scholars began to debate according to classics. The words "Zhihu" made people lose their teeth sour and make Fusu dizzy and sleepy, and his upper and lower eyelids fight!

At first, the First Emperor was still in the mood to hear these two groups of idle people discussing. Later, he got annoyed and clapped his hands and said, "Don't argue! My intention has been decided! I am the son of heaven, the son of God, not a slave! The person came and passed on my edict: I ordered local officials to summon civilians and broaden the road and flatten it within 20 days. I want to take a car!" This is the usual temper of the First Emperor: he likes to do big things!

As soon as these words were spoken, the doctors immediately looked gloomy, and Zou Cheng and other Confucian scholars had to make the final struggle: "Your Majesty, doing this is disrespectful to the Emperor of Heaven, you must not!"

Fusu coughed at this time and said, "Okay, okay! You are not tired yet! Father, my son has another opinion on climbing Mount Tai!" The First Emperor was also annoyed by the noise of the Confucian scholars and nodded, "What do you think of Wanger? Let's listen!"

Fusu smiled and said, "I heard that the beauty of Mount Tai lies in its magnificence. It has both the burly mountains, the thick shape, and the tall and desolate, the speakable rocks, and the sound clear spring. What's even more peculiar is the change of the clouds and mists in the morning of Mount Tai. It is simply magnificent and colorful than divine light. I have climbed Mount Tai before and have a deep understanding of this, but I can't see much of these scenic scenery by car, so I suggest that my father should not take the bus, otherwise if I miss such a beautiful scenery, wouldn't I have time to come to Mount Tai!"

The First Emperor hesitated when he heard this. After thinking for a while, he changed his mind and said with a smile: "Yes, I almost missed the beautiful scenery of Mount Tai. Then this way, there is no need to be repaired! From tomorrow, I will walk with my dear friends to climb the mountain. If you can't climb it, please stay here to rest! Zou Cheng serves as the emcee!" "Here!"

The changing situation in the blink of an eye made the Confucian scholars in Lu feel happy, while the doctors were a little dejected!

The next morning, the First Emperor brought Fusu, Feng Jie and more than ten powerful Confucian scholars from Lu, six hundred doctors, and six thousand tiger soldiers up the mountain. He left the 6,000 tiger soldiers as a warning one after another on the mountain road, and only six hundred doctors up the mountain were protected by six hundred doctors up the mountain!

On the way up the mountain, everyone looked around: the pine trees up and down in late spring, and the grass grows green in the sky, red peach blossoms, white apricot blossoms, golden spring-for-spring willows and forsythia flowers are all over the branches. The locust flowers on both sides of the mountain stream bloom from bottom to top, with white flowers as white as tundra and fragrant flowers. The large area of ​​Hubei crabapple on the top of the mountain blooms buds, and the whole Mount Tai looks like a sea of ​​flowers!

Seeing this, the First Emperor was very happy and said, "Fortunately, Wang'er reminded me, otherwise I would have missed such a beautiful scenery!" Fusu smiled and said, "What my father sees now is only a scene of Mount Tai. Keep moving forward. The more beautiful scenery it will make the father amazed!" The First Emperor was excited, and in his prime, he couldn't help but walk as fast as he could, and climb to the top of the mountain! Zhao Gao ran and followed the First Emperor!

Fusu laughed in his heart, keeping a distance from the First Emperor, not wanting to disturb him too much. At this time, more than a dozen Confucian scholars who followed later generations came up. The leader Zou Cheng bowed to Fusu and whispered: "Thank you for your help yesterday and protect my majesty of Mount Tai. We are very grateful!"

Fusu said leisurely: "I think Mr. Zou is a misunderstanding. I am not willing to help you. It's just that I am concerned about the people, fearing that it will waste people's efforts to explore the mountains and roads, so I suggested to my father! You don't have to thank you!" Fusu didn't have any good feelings for these Confucian scholars, so his words were not very polite!

Zou Cheng was stunned for a moment, and still smiled and said, "Zou Cheng admired the kindness of the Lord! No matter what, the Lord still indirectly helped me, and I still want to thank you!"

You said that "you don't hit people with smiles." Fusu could only smile with a smile: "You're welcome! Let's talk about it later, let's see the scenery!" "Yes, yes!" Zou Cheng saw that Fusu was not interested in them and did not dare to make things boring, so he surrendered!

As everyone walked upwards, they gradually saw a huge pine tree in the cracks of the stunning rocks, smiling at everyone. There were still one or two clear springs under many trees, surging the spring water. It was a bit of a strange state of "the huge rocks can speak, and the clear spring is sound"!

Going further up the mountain, the sky became bluer and high. From a distance, I even saw a thousand-foot silver leg flying down the Baizhang Cliff in Xixixi, Taishan, making a huge roar.

Here, the blue sky is high, the mountains are empty, the pine waves are bursting, and the white clouds are leisurely, making people fully appreciate the true meaning of the wild fun of the mountains and forests!

The First Emperor was very happy to see it, his face became more and more joyful, and the people behind him seemed to have to trot with them to keep up!

Since the First Emperor was very far away from the Taishan Mountains, it was more than a hundred miles away from the main peak of Mount Tai for sacrifice, it was naturally difficult to reach the top of the peak during the day. As the sun gradually set, everyone simply gave some dry food at noon, and they couldn't help feeling a little bulging and their waists and knees were sore. After all, the First Emperor was already forty years old and felt a little sore!

Seeing that the Emperor of First Emperor could not hold on, Fusu hurriedly advised: "Father, it's not far from the top of the mountain anyway, so just find a place to rest here! Get up early tomorrow morning to climb the mountain, and you can see the magnificent sunrise!" The Emperor of First Emperor nodded quickly and smiled bitterly: "I'm old, not as physically energetic as when I was young. Okay, I'll order the doctor to find a convenient location to camp, and get some wild game to improve the food!"

Fusu said enthusiastically, "Your Messenger, you're here in person. I haven't hunted for many years. When I was a child, my father often took her to Shanglinyuan to hunt!" The First Emperor was not as energetic as he was, and smiled and said, "I can't walk anymore, be careful!" "Yes, Father!"

After a while, Fusu came back excitedly, holding a few pheasants and rabbits that were not lucky in his hand and hit the arrow. Wu Xin and others behind him also gained something. Hundreds of hunting doctors were also elite men with skilled bows and horses, and they naturally returned with a full load when they made a move. Deer, wolf, wild boar, pheasant, etc., so everyone was bent their waists!

Fusu smiled at the First Emperor with a smile: "Father, look, my son-in-law shot several fat rabbits and some pheasants. He also caught a few fat and tender wild fish in a water tan on the mountainside. They are all the favorite foods of my father! My son-in-law will cook them for my father myself!"

When the First Emperor heard this, he jumped up and said excitedly: "No, no, I'll come in person!"

Fusu was stunned for a moment and hurriedly said, "No, no, how can you ask the father to do it yourself!"

However, the First Emperor was a little displeased and said, "Why, I look down on my father's skills! I tell you, before I took power, I often went to Shanglinyuan! Especially my skills in roasting these wild game are not as good as those of you!"

Seeing that the First Emperor was so angry, Fusu was stunned and said with a hilarious voice: "Since the father is so happy, I have to eat something ready-made! Wuxin, you can clean up the game and leave it to your father!" "Here!"

After a while, Wuxin and others presented the packed wild game to Shihuang. Shihuang excitedly took off his wide long dragon robe, changed into a close-fitting short suit, and happily skewed the wild game, put it on the bonfire and started barbecuing.

Seeing the First Emperor flirting with a smile on his face, the wild game was evenly roasting on the flames, his serious and excited expression made everyone dazed: Is this clearly a very naughty big child? It’s not like an iron-blooded emperor who makes the world bleed for thousands of miles!

For a moment, everyone watched the First Emperor barbecue carefully, unable to bear to destroy the good mood that the First Emperor had rarely seen for many years.

After a while, the hares, pheasants and fish on the grills were scared to the point of burnt yellow and emitting an attractive fragrance. The Emperor Shi became more and more busy, and he ran tirelessly between the grills, making everyone drool while being stunned!

Finally, the First Emperor shouted: "Okay, okay, you can eat it!" The First Emperor picked up a roasted hare from a grill, pulled off a rabbit leg with his black hands, bit it hard, and couldn't help but smile: "Fortunately, it's okay, it's okay, it's not roasted for many years, and his skills have not regressed!"

At this time, the Emperor Shi Huang remembered to look at Fusu, Feng Jie, Lu Sheng, Zhao Gao and others, but found that everyone looked dumbfounded and couldn't help laughing: "Why, I didn't expect that I have this trick! Alas, why are you still standing there? Eat quickly, otherwise you will be battered again!"

Everyone woke up as if they were in a dream. Seeing that the First Emperor was in high spirits, they lost their fear. They rushed forward, fighting for each other, and then started to fight against the wild game.

Fusu was young and strong, fast-witted, and closest to Shihuang. He reached out and snatched a roasted hare, tear off a big hind leg, and then threw the rest of the rabbit meat to Wuxin and others.

Smelling the intoxicating aroma and crispy yellow appearance of the rabbit meat in his hand, Fusu couldn't wait to bite it, and his mouth was filled with oil. He felt that the rabbit meat in his mouth was fresh, crispy, crispy and tender, and shouted: "It's delicious, delicious, I didn't expect that my father's skills are so outstanding! I am just like this!"

At this time, everyone also snatched a portion, sat on the mountain and chewed heavily, nodded frequently when he heard this, "It's delicious, delicious, Your Majesty's craftsmanship is really extraordinary!"

The First Emperor laughed happily: "Okay, then eat more!" The First Emperor, who had not relaxed like this for many years, was more like a fun mortal at this time!

...

The night gradually became deeper, and the stars in the sky gradually became more and more bright, and the evening breeze suddenly blew, bringing a burst of coolness!

The doctor ordered the Zuo Shi to come to see the First Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you have built a simple camp. Please rest!" The First Emperor, who was still in a state of interest, refused: "No, I am in a very good mood today. If I don't live in the camp, I want to camp!"

Feng Jie was stunned when he heard this and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the wind is strong in the mountains and the dew is heavy. Your dragon body is important, so let's go into the tent to rest!" Fusu also advised, "Yes, Father, let's go into the tent to rest!"

However, the First Emperor raised his voice stubbornly and said, "Why, I look down on me!? Let me tell you, when I was young, I often camped in Shanglinyuan and had never been sick. Although I am a little older, my health is never inferior to that of young people! I am camping here!" The First Emperor pointed firmly at the ground, looking unquestionable!

Everyone looked at Fusu with a look of distress. Fusu smiled and said, "Even if your father is not afraid of wind and frost, it is difficult to keep your safety when camping in the wild. After all, this is Mount Tai, not Shanglinyuan where heavy troops are stationed!"

When the First Emperor heard this, he laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? This is my world. Someone can turn against the sky! Besides, you, Wu'an, is also a powerful general who is in the world. With the king here, what are I afraid of! Needless to say, just camp here! If you can't stand it, go back to the camp by yourself!" The First Emperor waved his hand and made a final decision!

Everyone had to look helplessly, and shook their heads with a wry smile!

So everyone had to accompany the First Emperor to camp in the wild. The emperor was not afraid, and everyone dared not show any fear! Of course, the surrounding guard posts must be arranged properly, otherwise there would be no possibility of the wild mountains and rivers. Wouldn't it be troublesome if a tiger pops up at night!

The night gradually became deeper, and the First Emperor by the bonfire soon fell asleep and began to scream! But in recent years, Fusu, who had no experience in camping, hid on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. Looking at the sleeping First Emperor, Fusu couldn't help but feel respect: "My father has never been afraid of any enemies, any difficulties. His broad mind, strong will, free and easy behavior, and his talent are so high that even modern people are not as good as me!"

As Fusu thought about it, a breeze blew, his eyes couldn't help but blur, and he fell asleep soon!

I don’t know how long I slept, but suddenly Fusu was woken up: “Your Majesty, Youth!” Fusu immediately woke up and looked up, but he was unintentional.

"What's wrong, are you going to set off?"

"Yes, it's almost the fourth update! You have to set off early, otherwise you won't be able to catch up with the sunrise!"

Fusu climbed up and looked at the bed of Emperor Shin-Emperor, but found that the bed of Emperor Shin-Emperor was empty. Fusu was stunned: "Where is the father?" Wu Xin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is in great interest. You have already gotten up and go to wash up!"

Fusu laughed in his heart and hurriedly walked towards the camp not far away. This time, the First Emperor and Fusu's maid palace did not follow him, so the close guards had to take care of the washing matters!

After a while, everyone finished preparations. Since it was best to quit a fast before going to Mount Tai to show their piety, everyone did not eat breakfast and headed towards the main peak of Mount Tai!

The mountain road became more and more rugged, and everyone was walking in the dark, and they couldn't help but be careful when walking. Fusu and Zhao Gao were with the First Emperor and protected him at any time, but the First Emperor was walking as fast as flying, without feeling tired at all. The good health made Fusu secretly amazed!

Gradually, a trace of fish belly appeared in the sky, and the clouds in the distance also became a little golden. Everyone accelerated their pace and finally reached the top of Mount Tai before sunrise.

"Please look, father, the sun is coming out!" Fusu, who was familiar with the journey, pointed his hand at the east side of the cliff.

In the distant sky, the first ray of dawn emitted by the sun was tearing through the darkness before dawn, thus gradually turning from darkness to white and red, until dazzling golden, spraying out thousands of rays of rays of light. Finally, a round of fiery red jumped out of the water and rose into the air, announcing the arrival of day. The whole process was like a magician with superb skills, changing into millions of colorful pictures in an instant, which was breathtaking!

This series of spectacular sunrise scenery made everyone who had never seen such a strange sight stunned. Even if they had forgotten their breathing, they could not hear a few breaths, but they were afraid that they would scare the sun back.

"How magnificent! How magnificent!" The First Emperor was amazed for a long time, and finally spoke out with surprise and admiration on his face!

"Yes, yes! I will be enough to visit Mount Tai in this life!" Feng Jie also looked dazed!

Fusu smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be beautiful scenery when the sun rises later, which will make the father amazed even more!" "Oh!" The First Emperor was happy, looking at the distance with great enthusiasm, waiting for the beautiful scenery to appear again.

A stream of smooth rain suddenly floated in the sky, and it felt a bit cool.

Gradually, the sun rose, getting higher and higher, and began to emit a hot light. The drizzle soon stopped, and the top of the mountain was quiet without wind.

Gradually, a new round of wonders appeared: white clouds gathered together in the distance, spreading thousands of miles, like a huge jade plate floating between the sky and the earth. The mountains in the distance were swallowed by clouds, and only a few mountains were exposed from the clouds; tourists nearby walked on the clouds and fog, as if they had come out of the sky. The breeze blew, the sea of ​​clouds floated, and the peaks appeared and disappeared from time to time, like an unpredictable fairy island. When the wind was strong, the jade plate turned into a giant dragon, flying up and down, and turning the rivers and seas!

In front of this spectacular wonder of heaven and earth, everyone felt their own insignificance for a moment, and even the Shihuang, who had always been broad-minded, looked pious and awe in such a situation!

After a long time, the Emperor Shi Huang let out a breath: "The wonder of heaven and earth is so amazing!" Everyone woke up like a dream, with a look of admiration on their faces.

The First Emperor calmed down and came to the altar. The doctor quickly laid a soft cushion.

The First Emperor knelt down on his knees, looked up at the sky, put his palms together, and prayed quietly to the heaven and earth, hoping that God could give him some revelation!

But after waiting for a long time, I have never heard of the doctors' response to heaven and man. Didn't it be recorded in history that those ancient saints received instructions from gods in Mount Tai?

The First Emperor knelt before the altar again, closed his eyes, condensed his consciousness, and murmured and prayed: "God, I am the emperor, your son! Please speak to your son!"

Unfortunately, the First Emperor waited for a while, but still did not hear what God was saying to him! The First Emperor, who was confused, suddenly remembered the words of the 'Old Man Zhongyin': "Ghosts and gods are things that believe in what they have, and believe in what they have nothing! Therefore, Ying Zheng, you must have a clear mind and not be confused by the sayings of ghosts and gods!" Of course, Ying Zheng, who was a loyal believer in ghosts and gods at that time, just laughed at the old man's words!

But the First Emperor was surprised now: Could it be that the sayings of ghosts and gods are really just a legend? Or is it just a lie for the superiors to maintain their power status?

The First Emperor was almost in pain when he thought about it, and he almost believed what the "Old Man Zhongyin" said, believing that there were really no gods or ghosts in this world!

The firm belief gradually collapsed, and the somewhat desperate First Emperor raised his head and looked into the distance!

The wind gradually became stronger, the sun gradually grew higher, and the originally magnificent sea of ​​clouds gradually disappeared! "God, the sun rises every day, and what about I, Wangzheng? Will I be buried underground forever? I am not willing to give up! God, please speak to me and indicate a path to immortality! Your son begs you devoutly!"
To be continued...
