Destiny Only Han

Chapter 877 Liu Ying: Confession and Founding

Jiashen in April of the fifth year of the Great Sage.

Today is the day for Fengchan Taishan and the Summer Festival.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

Outside the Chengtian Palace, there were many sages from all over the country who came to congratulate them, foreign envoys, and representatives from various overseas governors. The latter two had a large number of people, which was the reason why Feng Chan was delayed from late spring to early summer.

Well, another more important factor is that Liu Ying is a little tired of these endless sacrificial activities, but after all, China is a country of etiquette, and the country's major events are in Rong, so it can only merge similar items as much as possible ...

Therefore, in Chengtian Palace, there were hundreds of teenagers in scarlet robes standing.

These are all the second or third generations of princes.

Today's Dahan applies the Tweeting Token 2.0 version, which is more humane than the original version, allowing a generation of princes and kings to have their own direct vassals.

To put it simply, they can cut their fiefs into several pieces and distribute them to their favorite heirs while they are alive, and these lower-level princes pay tribute to him instead of paying tribute to the emperor .

But only within one generation.

When the princes and kings die, their vassals who only pay tribute to them will become the emperor's vassals again.

Although it is troublesome, it can avoid the tragic occurrence of burying the corpse and attacking each other with armor.

Wills can be tampered with after all...

As soon as Tweeting Order 2.0 was launched, it immediately received numerous praises...

And these second and third generations of princes waiting to be canonized are gathered today because they inherited the tradition from the Western Zhou Dynasty.

The Sacrifice to Welcome Summer is not only a sacrificial activity, announcing the end of spring and the coming of summer, changing the object of sacrifice, from the previous sacrifice to Da Hao (hào) Jumang, that is, the Fuxi clan and the wood god, to the sacrifice of Yan Emperor Zhurong, and more The important thing is that after the sacrificial activities are over, the princes will be canonized and the corresponding food cities will be awarded, and the emperor will drink wine with these newly promoted princes.

Of course, if there is alcohol, there will be gold.

Therefore, before the ceremony started, Liu Ying squatted at the gate of Fatian Hall, watching the ceremony officials of Fengchang Mansion weigh the horseshoe gold presented by the princes and kings...

These are used to repair the ancestral temple. Back then, the ancestors of the royal uncle's family lost their titles because the gold that was dedicated to the ancestral temple was not of good quality...

Isn't this a win-win situation... Liu Ying looked through the railing at the group of brothers and nephews of the same clan who were waiting in the square, and turned to leave with a heavy ingot of horseshoe gold.

After all, in this world where human feelings are getting colder and colder, only yellow and clear gold can bring warmth to people...

Xiao Lu and Zhang Buyi, who was squatting on the other side, stared at each other with big eyes, finally full of helplessness.

As courtiers, they couldn't push off Liu Ying's sleeves and snatch back the horseshoe gold, right?

........................

At [-]:[-], the Fengchan Grand Ceremony officially began.

Liu Ying changed into a red auspicious suit that is good for everything except the thief, and appeared again at the gate of Fatian Temple.

Fatian Hall is the main hall of Chengtian Palace. Its appearance is basically the same as the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvest in the Temple of Heaven in later generations. The three-story double eaves shrink upward to form an umbrella shape. Earth, all things.

The four Longjing pillars in the inner circle symbolize the four seasons of the year; the twelve gold pillars in the middle circle symbolize the twelve months in a year; the twelve eaves pillars in the outer circle symbolize the twelve hours of the day.

The 24 pillars in the middle and outer layers symbolize the 24 solar terms in a year.

A total of 28 on the third floor symbolize the 28 stars in the sky, plus the eight copper pillars on the top of the pillars, a total of 36, symbolizing 36 heavenly gangs.

As for the name Fatian Temple, it is taken from the meaning of respecting the heaven and the ancestors.

However, Liu Ying gave Liu Taigong the temple name of a holy ancestor, and declared him to be the emperor of Taishang Wuji Nine Heavens Commander Tianzun. Therefore, Fazu became Fatian, and the name of the whole palace was logically named Cheng. Heavenly Palace.

Not only that, the imperial edict issued by Liu Ying has also changed from the original simple edict and edict to "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's Edict"...

Eight-twenty.

When Liu Ying walked into the Fatian Temple step by step step by step, Shao Le was very happy.

Today's performance is "Great Summer", one of the six musics, so only wenwu is used. When dancing, the dancer holds a musical instrument similar to a flute (yuè) in his left hand and Zhai (dí) made of pheasant tail feathers in his right hand. .

Liu Ying asked Qi to play this piece of music because Qi, the founder of the Xia Dynasty, was the son of Dayu. Dayu abdicated the throne to Qi, thus creating the first family dynasty in Chinese history.

Another reason is that he compared Liu Bang to Dayu.

Dayu controlled the floods and saved the common people in the world. Liu Bang ended the troubled times and made three chapters with the people to save the people from the fire and water. Their achievements are also commendable.

Therefore, on the viewing platform, although Liu Bang looked indifferent, Lu Zhi standing beside him pouted slightly. As a person who was even more familiar with him than Liu Bang himself, Lu Zhi naturally followed Liu Bang's Subtle movements, aware of Liu Bang's move at the moment.

But as smart as she is, she won't point it out directly.

It is only natural for a son to praise his father. The important thing is the transfer of imperial power, which is usually accompanied by death and blood. Now it seems that their family may be able to avoid such a tragedy.

As a result, Lu Zhi's face was filled with pride.

Not only for Liu Ying, but also for Liu Bang.

So, she took the initiative to move closer to Liu Bang, and grabbed Liu Bang's calloused and weather-beaten hands.

Just like when they got married, when she covered her face with a bird fan, she took the initiative to hold Liu Bang who was striding into the door by herself...

But in the next second, before Liu Bang could react, Lu Zhi swung Liu Bang's hand away.

Why is she the one who takes the initiative every time?

Liu Bang:?
..........................................

Nine fifty-five.

The lengthy Zen ceremony was finally over. Liu Ying wrote what she wanted to say on the jade plate and burned it in the Fatian Temple. As for the matter of sending the jade plate with the same words to the top of the Holy Emperor of Mount Tai to bury it in the soil , it was handed over to the ritual officer of Fengchang Mansion to complete.

Liu Ying chose to hold the Fengchan ceremony at the Chengtian Palace at the foot of the mountain, because she was too lazy to climb Mount Tai again...

After all, there are no cable cars...

On the viewing platform, when Shao Le stopped, Liu Le wished he could jump up and cheer.

The day of Feng Chan is the time when she can't be satisfied...

Well, when she was punished to dig locust eggs, she agreed that after the Feng Chan ended, she would no longer have to go out and work hard every day...

Although, she outsourced the digging of insect eggs, and the so-called punishment turned into a wild BBQ, but if you eat too much barbecue, you will get tired of it, and more importantly, game is really not as good as domestic animals tasty.

So, she approached Lu Yu, who was wearing a full set of auspicious clothes, sweating profusely but well-mannered, "Sister, I heard that there are still several salt flat sheep sent by my brother..."

..............................

At 59:[-], the Summer Festival officially began.

According to the etiquette system of this period, the palace is earth, the sign is fire, the feather is water, the merchant is gold, and the horn is wood, so the musicians play the sign that represents fire.

According to the so-called "Southern Bingdinghuo", "two is fire", two is an even number and belongs to yin, so the positive number in the south is two yin, and the combination of the positive number [-] in the south and the positive number [-] in the middle is seven, so the vice number in the south for seven.

Therefore, when welcoming the summer and worshiping the southern suburbs, the number is seven.

In other words, the elegant music is played seven times, and the salute is seven times...

But this is not a problem at all for the newly promoted princes and kings who participated in the Summer Festival!
If possible, they would even choose to worship seventy times, and then seek to expand the fief by even [-]%...

After all, feudal dynasties are different from capitalist countries. Although the fiefdoms and eunuchs they inherit can also be counted as a type of capital, they are actually not important, what is important is the title.

The so-called prince breaking the law is the same crime as the common people is just a joke.

For those of them who have titles, as long as they don't offend Liu Ying, otherwise, even killing people in the street can save money and eliminate disasters!
Therefore, when they kowtow again and again, they are also thanking their father or grandfather.

After all, without their falling grass Mangdang, following Liu Bang, otherwise they would not have their prominent status at the moment, and even the Han Law can turn a blind eye...

However, after the sacrificial activities were over, the "Splitting Talisman" they were looking forward to, that is, to separate a piece of iron plate with their name and fiefdom written on it, keep one piece for files, and one piece for them was not carried out immediately.

In the eyes of all the people, a ceremonial officer with a loud voice stood at the gate of Fatian Temple, chanting loudly:

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said..."

"Since ancient times, emperors have inherited the heavens and set up the poles and governed the Yuhuan area. They must establish Yuan Chu and Maolong's national capital, so that the Mianzong Society will have no borders..."

"...Liu Yan, the fifth son born to the empress, looks like a dragon and a phoenix in the sky. He can be the crown prince, inheriting the ancestral temple, and only suspending the country...... Announce it to the world, so that the emissary can hear it!"

"Jiashen in April of the fifth year of Han Dasheng."

After the ritual officer finished reading, the audience standing around the square shouted in unison.

"Mountain hoo--"

Therefore, the courtiers who had rehearsed one day in advance responded immediately.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Prince Chitose, Chitose, Chitose..."

Liu Ying was instantly satisfied.

This is the evil taste of a traverser who holds great power...

On the viewing platform, Liu Bang couldn't laugh or cry, and shook his head gently.

Regarding today's canonization of the crown prince, Liu Ying did not reveal to him beforehand.

But he himself was not surprised.

After all, he and Lu Wan can be said to be half-brothers. They belong to the iron buddies who are too fat to wear a pair of trousers. They also love Lu Yu. Therefore, Liu Yan side-designated the prince and became the successor of the Han Empire he founded. People are naturally a matter of course.

So the reason why he shook his head at this moment is that Liu Yan has not been weaned yet, and there are only sparse fluff on his head, which is not enough to satisfy his regret that he didn't personally put on the prince's crown on Liu Ying...

But what happened next not only surprised him, even the courtiers who just stood up couldn't understand.

Outside the Fatian Palace, the ceremonial official with a loud voice had already retreated, but returned for the second time with an edict.

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor's edict said:"

"I have inherited the order of the heavens, and I am as good as the previous training. I use the establishment of the vassal to assist me, and I use it to understand the virtuous, and the order of the ancient sages and kings is also..."

"...the princes are filial and friendly, generous, gentle and respectful, have branches and leaves in their actions, and have no embarrassment in their way. Practice the mean of a gentleman, pursue the righteousness of a sage, love only kindness, and ambition is not close to the name..."

"It is appropriate to divide and build thatched soil, to defend our country, to show off relatives, and to be a solid rock forever. It is to use it to achieve fate, and to use badges..."

"The emperor's eldest son, Liu Qi, is now canonized as the king of Jin, whose capital is Taiyuan, with jurisdiction over 27 counties. ), governing seventeen counties; the fourth son of the emperor, Liu Wu, is King Huai, Dupei County, governing seventeen counties..."

"Announce it to the world, and the salty envoys will hear it!"

"Jiashen in April of the fifth year of Han Dasheng..."

After the ritual officer finished reading, he walked back slowly.

It's just that this time it's different from the canonization of the prince, those who visited didn't come forward and shouted "Shanhu".

But above the square, there was an uproar.

After all, Liu Qi and the others are still children, isn't it too early to be canonized as kings in such a hurry?

However, Liu Ying has supreme authority. Even though they felt that it was too early to canonize the kings at this time, they did not dare to say that it was a random order and dismiss it.

Moreover, the Han Dynasty was a feudal dynasty, and the canonization of kings was a family matter of the emperor, which had little to do with ministers like them.

Well, it actually has a lot to do with it.

After all, the vassal king is only one level lower than the emperor. In the country, there are princes, state lieutenants and other official positions that compete with the three princes, and there are hundreds of thousands of other official positions in a mess.

Every extra vassal king in the country is equivalent to nearly a thousand more official positions!
The important thing is that the Han Dynasty is a whole, and the ministers of the vassal state can seamlessly enter the bureaucratic system directly under the Han Dynasty!
In this era of no family planning, which minister does not have seventy, eighty, ninety sons, an astonishing number of nephews, seven aunts and eight aunts and a large number of relatives, the so-called one person ascends to heaven, they are now in high positions, it is difficult to return Do you want to watch your relatives farming in your hometown and be an unrefined farmer?
So, Wang, the more the better!

But some people laugh and some people worry.

The courtiers and workers of the dynasty like Gonghou are happy, but the shareholders of the dynasty, especially Liu Fei, Liu Ruyi and Liu Heng, the three adult princes and kings who are already in feudal vassals, are not so happy.

The emperor's evil sons were vassals of more than a dozen counties, but their evil sons could only be Chihou, and the fiefdoms were only one or two counties.

Comparing the two, there is a world of difference!

However, there is no way to do this. Who made them just vassal kings, but their brother is the emperor, the eldest son of the Liu family?

The vassal king seems to be only one level lower than the emperor, but the former can kill the former!

However, Liu Fei just felt depressed and wanted to go back to rest early, but after a short period of depression, the strings in Liu Heng and Liu Ruyi's hearts suddenly tightened.

Leaving aside Liu Wu's Huai country, it is far away from their feudal country.

But Liu Qi's Jin State, Liu De's Wei State, and Liu Hong's Zheng State can be said to besiege them to death from three directions: west, east, and south!

After all, their north is the country of Yan, and today's Lu Wan can be regarded as a royalist through and through!

It doesn't make sense, I'm so honest... Liu Ruyi is sweating profusely.
