Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1318
"I fear God!"

"The ministers must fear the law!"

At the foot of Mount Tai, Luo Cheng said in front of the crown prince and ministers that since he succeeded to the throne, he has reformed the system and implemented the system of ministers and ministers in the Hanlin Academy in the Foreign Affairs Hall, and reused a large number of virtuous and talented ministers. Thanks to the efforts of the monarchs and ministers, Daqin quickly stabilized, became prosperous and strong, determined to reform, actively forged ahead, and did great things that many people dared not even imagine.

Many people say that the emperor is a stubborn person, and some even say that the emperor is a fool, but Luo Cheng is not fearless, he is afraid of the sky.

The emperor feared the way of heaven and respected morality. He also had a steelyard and a line in his heart.He would not really swell just because he became the emperor or because Daqin was so powerful, he would really think that he was a saint, or even a god.

Once people do not have the heart of awe, they may do whatever they want and trample on everything.

This is quite dangerous. Luo Cheng is in awe of the sky, formulates rules and regulations, and takes the lead in obeying them himself.He is the emperor, and the law cannot restrain the emperor, but the emperor himself has awe in his heart and can discipline himself.

As for the officials, soldiers, common people, and common people below him, he asked them to fear the law and abide by the laws of the system.From this perspective, the emperor worshiped Confucianism on the surface, but he was actually a legalist emperor.

"The sage is the son of heaven, representing the heaven and the earth." Prime Minister Hou Mochen said.

"It has been seven years since the founding of the Great Qin Dynasty. Hundreds of officials often say that this is the rule of Kaiyuan, but I can only say that it is the beginning of Kaiyuan. You must not relax, we still need to work hard."

"The sage's virtues are added to the common people, and the Qin is transformed into the world!" Prime Minister Wei Zheng also said.

"Maybe there are some merits, but they are not enough. They cannot be proud of themselves. Many successful kings in the past dynasties started their businesses in the early stage, but they fell in the later stage. The relationship is to take credit and pride, such as Yang Guang. It is Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty."

"The sage is so difficult, he respects the ancestors, and he is inspired by the heavens. He inherits the great rule, and he is close to all nations, and he is the destiny of the heavens. Now he is in Dongdai and Chanyun Pavilion. This is to repay the spiritual grace of Shangxuan, and the Honglie of the ancestors, The meaning of heaven and earth, and the heart of the ancestral temple, why should we be tired of it? Since the sage ascended the throne, for more than seven years, he has built nine temples and worshiped the three suburbs. This is also the filial piety of Shun. The nine clans of Dun, brothers, and the kindness of King Wen. The palace, the food of the Philippines, Xia Yu's respect and frugality. Dao Jigu, Virtue and Rixin, Emperor Yao's writing and thinking. Pity the head of Guizhou, benefit the common people, and become the deep benevolence of soup. Huaixuanmo, Fengtaihe, Xuanhuang's most reasonable Also. It is being formed with the balance of the sky, and the people and the age are reported to the gods."

The newly-appointed Jixian Temple University scholar and Guozijian Jijiu, Yansheng Gong Kong Yingda is worthy of being the 31st grandson of Confucius. Even if he flatters, he is educated and eloquent. He compares the emperor's merits with the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, making the emperor listen very much Happy.

Of course, Luo Cheng is still very clear about himself, and will not be drunk by this ecstasy soup.

"As a humble body, I entrust myself to the princes and dukes. I am only afraid at night. I am afraid that I will not be able to win. Fortunately, I rely on the dukes to make the world peaceful and make the barbarians serve their duties."

Fengchan Taishan is of great significance to the emperor and the imperial court in terms of public opinion, and even more meaningful in politics.

At the beginning, the emperor was unwilling to make the Zen ceremony too grand, and even planned to bring only a few thousand people to Mount Tai.But the ministers believed that etiquette should not be lost, and the ceremony of enshrining Zen is the most solemn event, and it should be held in a grand manner.

This time, more than 100 people came to the foot of the mountain, including more than 300 vassal kings, and more than [-] vassal kingdoms came to congratulate, which is truly an unprecedented event.

Today, I prepared to drive to the foot of the mountain.

The emperor rides on his horse, and his courtiers follow.

Secretary Supervisor Wang Gui said, "God Haotian is the position of the monarch. The emperors of the five directions are the positions of the ministers. Although the titles of the emperors are the same, the monarchs and ministers are different. Your Majesty enjoys the emperor on the mountain, and the emperor, ministers and ministers are located at the foot of the mountain. , it is also the greatest one to change the etiquette. The etiquette is completed in three, the first offering, the second offering, and the final offering, all in one place!"

The first offering was determined to be the emperor's personal offering, and Yaxian arranged for the prince.

As for the final offering, Luo originally wanted the queen to be responsible, but the ministers objected, thinking that even if you are a queen, you are still a woman.During the period, some people suggested that the king of Wu should finally sacrifice, and some people suggested that the king of Jin should finally sacrifice, but in the end they were all rejected by Luo Cheng himself.

In the end, Luo Cheng decided that the final offering would be completed by the emperor himself, so as to end the controversy and dispel some people's thoughts.

"If there is sacrifice, sincerity leads to spirit." Luo Cheng believes that the key to sacrifice is sincerity.

In the past, some emperors offered sacrifices to God Haotian at the foot of the mountain. Luo Cheng thought that he should be sincere, so he changed it to the mountain.

Luo Cheng took the prince and ministers to the top of Mount Tai.

Artisans have long built altars.

Luo Cheng took the prince to offer sacrifices, and then took out the jade document written by himself.

This is a letter to God Haotian.

For the emperor who enshrines Zen with courage, this jade document is generally not made public, and it is directly burned to Haotian.

But the emperor took out the jade document sealed in gold, clay and silver and read it directly to the public.

"There is a son of Qin Tianzi, who dares to declare to the God of Haotian: Tianqi Luoshi, Yunxing Huode, ordered to establish the pole, Liuhe Yin is prosperous. God is blessed, Xichen is loyal to the military. Di Sui is in trouble, he is succeeded by Zen, respectful inheritance Dabao, it has been seven years. Respect as God's will, the world is enshrined. Enshrine Daiyue, thank the heavens, descendants and grandchildren, and the common people will be blessed."

Wei Zheng once said that the previous emperors had different wishes, some prayed for the year, or thought of gods.In addition to political factors, Qin Huang and Han Wu conferred Zen on Taishan. Both of them were superstitious about the elixir of immortality. Seeking longevity and immortality was also an important purpose of their conferring on Zen and Taishan.The Jade Letter they enshrined in Zen is kept secret.

And Emperor Wuwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty enshrined in Zen was even more mysterious. He enshrined in Zen to pray for health and longevity.

And Luo Chengfeng made it very grand, and even made a high-profile statement about the purpose of his trip. He declared that all of my trips today are to pray for the blessings of the common people, and there is no secret request.

There is no personal private request, very open and aboveboard, as for the descendants of Bailu, this is human nature, the common people are blessed, and it is the sublimation of the emperor's ideology.

The common people are blessed, and the children and grandchildren are blessed. This is for the welfare of the common people and the descendants of the world. The emperor did not ask Haotian for anything to make him live longer and healthier.

The jade document is finished.

Suddenly there was a strong wind coming from the northeast. The gust of wind was so fast and fierce that it tore the curtains and broke the flag posts.

There was a sound of uneasiness.

Luo Cheng suddenly laughed out loud.

"This must be the Dragon King of the East China Sea knowing that I'm here, so I'm here to greet you."

It was also strange that his words fell, but the huge wind stopped suddenly.

All the ministers were amazed, and Wei Zheng took the lead in shouting long live, saying that it must be that the saint's jade document had been known to Haotian God, and he specially sent the Dragon King of the East China Sea to show it.

"In a few days, I will go to Penglai to patrol the sea, and will set up the Dragon King Temple on the islands in Penglai."

The worship of dragon gods has long existed among the people. Taoism combined the ancient worship of dragon gods with the dragon king believed in the sea god in Buddhist scriptures to form the Dragon King of the Four Seas.

The emperor canonized the Dragon King of the Four Seas on the top of Mount Tai on the spot.

"Ao Guang, the dragon god, was appointed as the Dragon King of Guangde in the East China Sea!"

"Aoqin, the dragon god, was appointed as the Dragon King of Guangli in the South China Sea."

"Ao Run, the dragon god, was appointed as the Dragon King of Guangshun in the West Sea."

"Ao Shun, the dragon god, was appointed as the Dragon King of Beihai Guangze."

"Construct temples and halls of the Dragon King in all the four seas, and send people to sacrifice incense at four o'clock."

Zhongshusheren immediately drafted the canonization edict, and then the prime ministers and scholars signed it with their seals, and finally signed it with the emperor's ink pen, stamped it with the jade seal of the uploaded country, and finally burned it to the heavens.

After the sacrifice, go down the mountain.

The world is clear and the sun is warm.

At this time, it is already cold winter, and the previous few days were full of cold wind and people, and the cold air built bones.

But today, the mountain air is warm, and the wind is blown and the sun is warm.

More than 100 foreign kings and more than 200 princes and princes rushed forward to greet them.

Feng Tian, ​​Zen land.

Li Cheng!
