Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Chapter 988
Qingji established "Dragon" as the totem of the Wu Dynasty and the totem of Huaxia, which means that he has another nickname——

Zulong!

What dragon?

Unlike the "black dragon" of Qin Shihuang in history, Qingji is a "red dragon".

The state of Qin belongs to water and is still black; the state of Wu belongs to fire and is still red.

According to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, the five elements of good luck make Wu's banners and costumes all crimson, which will not change.

"Type of language."

"Chen is here!"

"For my grand imperial ceremony, I still need to establish the national flag, national anthem, and national emblem of my Great Wu. You are responsible for promulgating it, advertising it to the world, and collecting suitable national flags, national anthems, and national emblems. All Chinese people are eligible Consult and formulate."

Qingji decided to use the national anthem, national flag, and national emblem of Dawu to be auditioned, so that everyone in the world can participate, no matter how high or low their status is, everyone can participate in such a grand event.

This is still the first!
The state of Wu has banners, banners, and battle songs, but the national flag, national emblem, and national anthem are still unique.

"promise!"

Wen Zhong hastily agreed.

……

Half a month later, Qingji, who had made all preparations, began his mighty east tour.

This time, the purpose of Qingji's east tour is mainly to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai, so as to declare to God and the world that he has changed his dynasty and become the legitimacy of "the first emperor", and further promotes the saying that "kingdom is bestowed by heaven".

People in this era believe in heaven, and the five mountains are considered to be the closest to heaven, and Fengchan Taishan is the respect of heaven.

Legend has it that after the death of the god-man Pangu, his head turned into Dongyue, his left arm turned into Nanyue, his right arm turned into Beiyue, his body turned into Zhongyue, and his feet turned into Xiyue.

The east is the place where the sun rises, and the ancients believed that the east was the source of life. Qinshan Mountain, located in the east, has become the "auspicious mountain" and "the house of gods" as "the place where all things are bred".

Since the first emperor of Qin, in order to hold the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai, three basic conditions must be met, namely:
First, after the change of dynasties, the national territory was unified.

Second, the emperor has made outstanding achievements in his reign, the country is prosperous and the people are safe, the country is rich and the people are strong.

Third, in times of peace and prosperity, auspiciousness appears.

There were many emperors in ancient times, but it was not easy to meet the three conditions of enshrining Zen.

The emperors of the separatist regime are not qualified to enshrine Zen, and the outstanding achievements in the country have also restricted many emperors, and the appearance of auspiciousness is even more rare.

Although the emperors regard Fengzen as the most glorious achievement of the emperor, there are very few emperors who can go to "Mount Tai to enshrine Zen".

Historically, there were six emperors who held the Zen Conferring Ceremony on Mount Tai: Zhao Zheng, the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, Liu Che, Emperor Shizong Xiaowu of Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, Emperor Guangwu of Emperor Shizong of Han Dynasty, Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong Xiao of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Song Dynasty. Zhenzong Yuanxiao Emperor Zhao Heng.

Compared with the first five predecessors, Song Zhenzong is not qualified to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

During Song Zhenzong's period, Empress Dowager Xiao of Liao and Liao Shengzong led an army southward to invade the Song Dynasty. Song Zhenzong reluctantly went to Chanzhou to supervise the battle under the persuasion of Prime Minister Kou Zhun.

Later, the two sides signed the "Chanyuan Alliance", and the Song Dynasty gave 10 taels of silver and 20 pieces of silk to the Liao Dynasty every year. Song and Liao used the Baigou River as the boundary.The alliance of Chanyuan eliminated the hidden dangers of the Liao Kingdom on the northern border, and the two countries opened up business exchanges.

Song Zhenzong believed that the contribution was remarkable, and four years later, Feng Chan Taishan, Feng Chan directed a farce of "a book from heaven falling from the sky".

Song Zhenzong squandered the savings of the previous generation in various sacrificial activities, and in his later years "the internal storage has been slightly exhausted"...

Song Zhenzong, who engaged in face-saving projects, not only lowered the level of Taishan Fengchan, but also squandered the national treasury.

Fengshan on Mount Tai is not a trivial matter, and the cost is huge, but Wu Guo can still afford it.

After arriving at Mount Tai, Qingji first dispatched more than [-] servants to repair the mountain road, and more than [-] Wu soldiers built ashlars on Dengfengtai.

They also sent people to build a round mound altar four miles south of the mountain, decorated with five-color soil, and named it "Fengsi Altar".

Build an altar on the top of the mountain, five feet wide, nine feet high, with majesty on all sides, named "Dengfeng Altar", and an octagonal square altar on Sheshou Mountain, named "Jianchan Altar".

Then, Qingji fasted and bathed for three days, and went to the southeast of Mount Tai to burn firewood to sacrifice to heaven.

After the ceremony, climb the mountain in a chariot, and after a short rest at Daiding, change clothes and seal the ceremony.

First of all, under the attention of everyone, Qingji, dressed in the emperor's costume with twelve crowns, holding a jade kui, with a serious expression on his face, went up to the altar to pray.

When praying for Jiji, all the ministers sang the "Song of Wu", the rite and music belonging to the state of Wu.

This grand ceremony of enshrining Zen lasted for a total of half a month, which shows how complicated the etiquette is.

Before leaving, Qingji deliberately set up a stone tablet on the top of Mount Tai, and asked the calligrapher Wenzhong to write inscriptions on the stone tablet to sing praises for Qingji——

"The emperor established the country, Wei Chu was in the past, and his successors became kings. Crusade against rebellion, move the four poles of power, and fight righteously..."

"Three years and two years, when you are recommended to a high-ranking person, filial piety is manifested. Not only do you offer great success, but you also give special favors, and you visit distant places..."

"Reminiscing about the troubled times, dividing the land and building the country to open up disputes. Attacking and fighting daily, bleeding in the wild, since ancient times in Thailand."

"There are countless numbers in the world, Tuo and the five emperors, there is no way to stop them. Now the emperor, one family, the army will never rise again..."

"Within the four guards, there are no counties and counties. Four barbarians and eight barbarians, salty and unpaid tribute posts. The people cover up the rest of the barbarians, and Tianlu will always win, and the stone carvings will change the name."

This shows that the ceremony of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai to celebrate Jiji has finally come to an end.

After leaving Mount Tai, Qingji's patrol team went all the way south again, along Hangou, traveling parallel by water and land, to Jinling, the eastern capital of Wu State.

According to the rules set by Qingji, the capital where the emperor resides is the political center.

Therefore, if there is no accident, during Qingji's lifetime, the political center of the Wu Dynasty will be Jinling.

……

It was December.

Above Hangou, sparkling, thousands of sails race.

All kinds of large ships sailed on the water, and the formation was unprecedentedly huge.

This is Qingji's patrol team.

It is more appropriate to say that it is a patrol team, but it should be said that it is a "capital relocation team".

Qingji kept the crown prince in Xianyang to sit in the township, while he himself led Sun Wu, Wen Zhong, Kong Qiu, Fan Li and other three princes and nine ministers, state ministers, and tens of thousands of courtiers and officials, the army, concubines in the harem, servants, palace maids, etc. We moved back to Jinling together.

Of course, quite a few still stay in Xianyang.

At this time, Qingji was standing on the deck of the building boat, overlooking the lake and mountains on both sides of Hangou, feeling very relaxed and happy.

This Hangou was excavated by Qingji in his early years.

His original intention was the same as that of Fucha, the king of Wu in history, in order to go north to fight for hegemony, and directly marched into the Central Plains from Hangou.

However, for so many years, the military significance of Hangou is not great, but it has played an important role in water transportation.
