please make me king

Chapter 169 Sacrifice

In the past few days, under the hard work of the red lady, a brand new camp was built.Zhang Shun lay happily in the big tent of his own army, with the red lady in one hand and Li Sanniang in the other, he was overjoyed.

In the end, before he could take advantage of it, Zhu'er broke in with a displeased face.The girl said with a smile on her face: "Master, the person looking for the three animals has returned. I was afraid that he would come in and bump into you, so I came in early to report!"

Hearing this, Zhang Shun couldn't help but snorted unhappily, he could only let go of the beauty in his hand, and stood up slowly.It turned out that he managed to settle the fight between the two girls, and persuaded them to "put the most important things first", but his own "big things" were messed up.

Knowing that this was a serious matter, Zhang Shun suppressed his displeasure and walked out, only to see someone bring back two cows, four or five sheep and a black pig.At this time, Zhao Yutou, Zhang Shenyan, and Chen Jindou also gathered around to inspect the animals.

Zhang Shun saw that the two cows were quite strong, so he simply ordered to exchange them with the cows pulling the carts in the supply camp, and choose an old cow to sacrifice.Zhao Yutou was hesitant to speak when he heard the words, thinking: Will this not respect Emperor Shun too much?
As a result, Zhang Shun saw his expression and understood his thoughts, so he explained: "Zi said: Respecting the gods is like the presence of gods, as long as the mind is there, why bother with the form?"

Zhao Yutou originally came from a humble background, and he was quite unaccustomed to extravagant and wasteful behavior, so he immediately agreed with it.On the contrary, Zhang Shenyan couldn't help snorting when he heard the words, and said sarcastically: "I don't know what to do, and I misinterpret the principles of sages and sages! Respecting the gods as if there is a god means that when offering sacrifices, you must be sincere and sincere, and you can't even part with a strong cow. What is the sincerity?"

Zhang Shun thought about it seriously, and replied: "It should be in my heart! It's not in Tailao's body. I don't know what Yafu thinks?"

Zhang Shenyan didn't bother to argue with him, anyway, even if Zhang Shun's heart was not sincere during the sacrifice, if he offended the gods and was struck by lightning, he would take advantage of his wishes.

When all the sacrificial supplies were ready, Zhang Shun sent Chen Jindou to choose an auspicious day, and personally led the three animals to Shunwangping to worship.

This Shunwangping is nowhere else, but the main peak of Lishan Mountain, which is 2358 meters above sea level and is the highest peak in Zhongtiao Mountain.There are more than five or six thousand broad and gentle grasslands on the top of the main peak. According to later generations, it is a rare subalpine meadow.

During the summer and autumn here, the grass is green and the flowers are in full bloom.The winter is cold and windy, with flying snowflakes, and the snow does not melt until the first ten days of April of the following year.Therefore, only herbaceous plants grow here, and thorns and trees and shrubs do not grow here. It is an excellent alpine pasture.The red lady was born in the outskirts and is most sensitive to pastures. As soon as she saw this place, she knew it was a place for herding horses and raising cattle, so she made the previous proposal.

Shunwangping is surrounded by lofty mountains and virgin forests, making it extremely difficult for Zhang Shun and others to trek.Zhang Shun had no choice but to let Wukong and Ji Dan hold the big swords in front, and cut the trees and vines blocking the way, so as to speed up the pace.

As a result, before they reached the mountainside, they saw a strong wind and dark clouds rolling in.Seeing this, Zhang Shenyan's expression changed, and he quickly persuaded him: "This is the mountain rain, it is coming fast and heavy, let's go down the mountain to take shelter for now, and it won't be too late to worship after the storm is over."

Zhang Shun hesitated for a moment, then said: "I heard that 'Heaven will send a great mission to the people of Sri Lanka, and you must first suffer from it'. Today I went to worship Emperor Shun, but I was blocked by this. I am afraid that this is Emperor Shun's favor to me." Test it!"

After hearing this, everyone had no choice but to persevere and move on.Not long after, the raindrops were as big as beans, crackling down, hitting people painfully.Zhang Shun and the others had no choice but to go back this time. Fortunately, they were not far from the top of the mountain at this time, so they had to grit their teeth and keep going.

Originally, Mount Li was quite tall, and the mountain road was steep and slippery. Everyone had to walk hand in hand, for fear that one of them would accidentally slip and fall directly to the foot of the mountain, and be crushed to pieces.

At this time, Zhang Shun also regretted that he had uttered big words. It turned out that since the rebellion, he had a sense of time urgency and did not dare to waste too many days, so he thought about finishing the matter today.

Unexpectedly, the word became a prophecy, and it was actually blown away by the rain and the wind along the way.Everyone was drenched from head to toe, their bodies lost their body temperature, and they were shivering from the cold.Zhang Shun knew very well that in such a situation, he might die, so he said: "It's really not possible, let's find a place to hide from the rain, it's impossible if this continues!"

At this time, Zhang Shenyan suddenly answered, "Since we are almost at the top of the mountain, let's persevere! When I was young, I also came to this place. There is the Temple of King Shun on the top of this mountain, which is just for shelter from the rain."

After hearing this, everyone's morale was greatly boosted, and they all gritted their teeth and persisted to the end, and finally climbed up to Nashun Wangping.When we reached the top of the mountain, we had a wide field of vision, and saw an endless prairie in front of us.

Zhang Shun and the others didn't care about their emotions, they quickly glanced at the temple of King Shun not far away, and ran over quickly.

The Temple of King Shun is not very big, and it is unknown when and by whom it was built. To be precise, it is only two thatched huts.Everyone rushed in and found that the thatched house was in disrepair for a long time, and it was still a little leaky, but it was better because the house was built with stones from the mountain, and it was stronger than it was, and it was enough to keep out the wind and rain.

The crowd let Hong Niangzi, Li Sanniang and other female relatives go to the side room, while the others rested in the main room.That Ji Cheng had great strength and was trying to pull the old cow into the house.

When Chen Changzhu saw it, he said, "Old Ji, don't bother. Now that it's raining so heavily, how can we offer sacrifices? Let's put the cow outside, and wait for everyone to light the fire and dry their clothes before offering sacrifices."

When Ji Cheng heard that he was good, he put the three animals outside the temple, tied the reins to the stone in front of him, and ran into the house.Chen Jindou took out the flint, found some thatch and some fallen leaves and dead branches in the temple and lit the bonfire.

The people baked the clothes for a long time, and even burned the not very damp branches outside the house, and the heavy rain has not stopped.Zhang Shun saw that this was wrong, so he said: "Anyway, the priests are also in the temple, and everyone is hungry and hungry after climbing the mountain all morning, so why don't you finish the worship earlier and share the meat with everyone?"

Everyone was so hungry that they agreed.Therefore, Zhang Shun asked Zhang Shenyan to preside over the ceremony, and everyone killed cows, sheep and pigs on the spot, and put their heads on the table.

Then, Zhang Shun held three incense sticks, lit them on the nearby candle, bowed three times and kowtowed nine times before offering incense.The ceremony of three prostrations and nine prostrations is quite particular. The three prostrations and nine prostrations are one prostration for three steps, one prostration and three prostrations, if so, three prostrations, and the great ceremony is complete.For this reason, Zhang Shun specially asked Zhang Shenyan for advice, and only then did he know how to salute.

After Zhang Shun finished his salute and was about to offer incense, suddenly the sky brightened up, and there was a lightning strike, which illuminated the dark sky and the earth, just shining Zhang Shun's resolute eyes.Zhang Shun put the three sticks of incense into the incense burner without changing his face and heartbeat, when the thunder came slowly, and there was a loud thunderbolt, as if the earth was shocked by the stone.

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other, only Zhang Shun calmly took out the sacrificial text, and read calmly by candlelight:
On the day of the year Wei, Zhang Shun, the commander of the rebel army, sacrificed three animals to Emperor Shun in the temple, and said:

It has a long history and a long history.

Chinese sages, Yao Shun Yu Tang,
Diyi is driven outside, and Germany is everywhere.

His achievements will last forever, and future generations will pay homage to them.

If you want to follow it now, you should be King Deshun.

The ashes are born, and the monsters are cut off.

Who else but me, woo hoo!
At the beginning, when Zhang Shun read the sacrificial text aloud, the sky was dark and it was night, and it was raining heavily outside the house.As a result, as Zhang Shun read aloud, the sky became brighter and the wind and cloud gradually weakened. After Zhang Shun finished reading the sacrificial oration, the sky was bright and there was no wind or rain.

After the sacrificial ceremony was over, Zhang Shun ordered Zhao Yutou to divide the sacrificial meat.Zhao Yutou was well aware of the importance of this position, so he couldn't help but smile and divided the cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. into several portions, and distributed them to everyone, letting everyone cook and eat.

These sacrifices seem to be many, but in fact, because of the breed and feed, they are quite different from the livestock of later generations.The cattle and sheep were a little better, and the black pigs were local pigs, each of which was only the size of a goat, so there was really not much meat to share.

Everyone shared a small piece, boiled or roasted, and devoured it when it was cooked.Some finished eating and ran out to have a look when they saw that it was sunny outside.The sun came out from the clouds, and a ray of sunlight was shining on the Temple of Emperor Shun on the top of the mountain. He couldn't help being shocked, and hurriedly called everyone to go out and watch.

Everyone went out to have a look, and sure enough the sky was still full of dark clouds, only the sun was shining brightly over the Temple of Emperor Shun.Seeing this, Chen Jindou was startled, and immediately plopped down on his knees in the muddy water, shouting: "Long live the lord, I have inherited Shunde, and the heaven and the earth are alone, I will be a real dragon, sweep away the remnants, and become a great treasure!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the words, they couldn't help being greatly shocked, they knelt down quickly, and shouted loudly: "Shangcheng Shunde, heaven and earth alone, sweep away the remnants, and become a great treasure!"

Zhang Shun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard the words, he had a sense of absurdity when he saw the Sun Moon God Cultist in "Swordsman" chanting "The leader of the East, for thousands of years, Wencheng Wude, unifying the Jianghu".

However, Zhang Shun didn't dare to laugh at this time, instead he could only look like a magic stick, and responded loudly: "If the destiny is with me, I will bring peace to all generations! If the destiny is not for me, I will be the king's forerunner! Swear for me!" China opened up the world and saved the millennium catastrophe!"

Originally, Zhang Shun just wanted to fool them, but somehow he opened his mouth and talked about the "thousand-year catastrophe".He thought of the art of ignoring and weakening the people after the minority ethnic groups came to power, the so-called "unseen changes in a thousand years" of later generations, and the humiliation and struggle of later generations for a hundred years.He couldn't help but come up with a thought: I'm here, I, Zhang Shun, should shoulder the suffering of future generations, and the people of this world shouldn't suffer the same suffering again!
Thinking of this, Zhang Shun shouted loudly: "The destiny is my destiny, I am Han Gao Tangzong!"

Seeing that Zhang Shun had made up his mind, everyone couldn't help but echoed, "My destiny is mine, and I am the founding father of the country!"
