The Great Grandson of the Tang Dynasty: The beginning of the slaughter of General Tiance's mans

Chapter 281

The so-called worldly affairs are nothing but white clouds and gray dogs.

It has been the fifth year since Li Chengdao ascended the throne, and the entire Tang Dynasty has ushered in a peaceful era of peace and prosperity.

The national treasury is full, the people are prosperous, and the population is gradually recovering. In just a few years, it has risen from more than 260 million households to more than [-] million households.

Needless to say, there is no need to talk about the economy. With the implementation of the New Deal and the prosperity of private commerce, Chang'an and Luoyang have gradually become the world's trade centers. In addition, the construction of orbital railways is also being implemented.

The entire Tang Dynasty was in a state of prosperity.

All of this is inseparable from the efforts of Li Chengdao and many ministers. Such achievements are so amazing that during an early court meeting, Li Gang, the Minister of Household Affairs, took the initiative to propose the issue of Mount Tai's Zen.

"Your Majesty, our Tang Dynasty has achieved such great achievements in just a few years. Most of the credit should go to Your Majesty."

"Therefore, I personally believe that His Majesty's achievements are of great significance to the past and are unparalleled in future generations. He should be enshrined in Zen and erect a monument on Mount Tai to highlight his achievements!"

Li Gang said loudly in front of the civil and military ministers.

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the officials in the palace suddenly lit up.

Since ancient times, Mount Tai has been known as the most sacred mountain in China and the only one among the five mountains. In addition to its majestic beauty, which ranks first among the Central Plains, another reason is that all the ancient holy kings enshrined themselves in Mount Tai.

Emperors such as Fuxi Shennong, Yao, Shunyu, Zhou Wang, Qin Shihuang, etc. all conducted Zen ceremonies in Mount Tai, which further established Mount Tai's transcendent position.

Taishan Fengchan is of great significance.

Generals regard it as the highest honor to enshrine a wolf and live in Xu, civil servants regard it as an honor to hang someone to death, and the emperor's highest honor is to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai and erect a monument to the world.

However, since Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, no emperor has dared to grant Zen to Mount Taishan, because granting Zen to Mount Taishan is not a child's play. If one's own achievements are not enough or unpopular with the people, then granting Zen to Mount Taishan will be just a joke and will be despised by the world.

But Li Chengdao definitely has this qualification!
Speaking of achievements alone, they include pacifying the barbarians, sealing the wolf as a vassal, recovering Liaodong, and creating a prosperous age!
Just, if you pick it out casually, you will be able to look down upon most ancient and modern emperors!
If Li Chengdao is not qualified to consecrate Mount Tai, then few emperors throughout the ages would be qualified to consecrate Mount Tai.

"I think what Master Fang said is absolutely true. I sincerely request your Majesty to enshrine it on Mount Tai and erect a monument to tell the world about it!"

Jia Xu's heart moved, and he was the first to agree, bowing and saying.

Wei Zheng hesitated for a while and then said: "I think that enshrining Zen in Taishan is too much to mobilize troops and mobilize people, and I am afraid that it will waste the people and damage the money."

"Master Wei is overly worried. Now that the treasury is full and rail carriages are extending in all directions, it is not difficult to go to Mount Tai to enshrine the Zen."

Changsun Wuji smiled slightly and said, actually supporting Mount Tai's enshrinement.

Many other adults also followed suit and said one after another: "I all agree! Your Majesty's achievements are astonishing to the present! I sincerely request that your Majesty be enshrined in Mount Tai!"

"Your Majesty is the only emperor of the ages, even better than Yao, Shun, and the First Emperor of ancient times. He should be enshrined on Mount Tai to show his merits!"

This cowhide is a bit overblown.

"I sincerely request your Majesty to grant Zen to Mount Tai!"

All the ministers said in unison again, and bowed to Li Chengdao, with excitement in their voices.

If Li Chengdao had enshrined Zen in Mount Tai and spread it through the ages, they would also be honored.

You must know that they are the ministers of this holy king!He also made a contribution to the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty!
If you are lucky enough to have a sentence mentioned on the inscription, it will be a greater honor than leaving your name in history!
After hearing the advice of many ministers, Li Chengdao also hesitated.

As an emperor, he was very moved by Mount Tai's enshrinement.

When he was the great grandson, he achieved the feat of conferring martial arts to the wolf and being the Xu; now as the emperor, if he can achieve the feat of conferring the title of Zen and Mount Tai, it would be the only one in ancient and modern times.

Not to mention unprecedented, unprecedented can be guaranteed.After thinking for a while, Li Chengdao finally made up his mind. He waved his sleeves and said seriously: "In that case, I will follow the instructions of the ministers and enshrine Mount Tai in April!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Spirit—!"

All the ministers knelt down to salute and shouted in unison.

……

After making the decision to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, Li Chengdao asked the Ministry of Rites to announce it to the world.

After hearing this, the common people and scholars all over the world rushed to tell each other and were overjoyed.

I don’t know how many people called their friends and planned to go to Mount Tai in advance to take a seat and witness the grand ceremony of the Zen ceremony, which is so large and rare in thousands of years.

How many people have been lucky enough to see the emperors of various dynasties since ancient times?What’s more, today is the ceremony for His Majesty’s conferment of Zen!

Whether it is feasible for an emperor to confer Zen status can be seen from the reactions of the common people and the world's great Confucians and scholars.

If an emperor is unpopular with the people and is regarded as a coward, then he will definitely be scolded mercilessly by the scholars and scholars who uphold the awe-inspiring righteousness and boldly say that he is going to Mount Tai to become a Buddhist monk.

But after Li Chengdao spread the news, there were only voices of recognition and support!

"Today, I am a holy king who is rare to meet in the ages! He deserves the honor of being enshrined in the Zen of Mount Tai!"

"Only a saint like your majesty deserves this title!"

"His Majesty has made such unparalleled achievements and created such a peaceful and prosperous era. I must be there to watch this ceremony in person. Can anyone go with me to Mount Tai to watch the ceremony? I have booked a whole rail carriage!"

"Excellent! That's what I meant!"

"Shan! Take me with you, and I will go with you!"

……

The news of Mount Tai's enshrinement has caused an uproar among the people, which is understandable.

This matter is of great importance, and the entire Ministry of Rites and even the central ministers are very worried about it.

There is no other reason, because they are all struggling with what kind of sacrificial rituals should be used.

Although Taishan Fengchan has been the highest honor for emperors since ancient times, there is no fixed ceremony. You must know that the Fengchan ceremony held by emperors in each dynasty is different, and there is no clear record in Zhou Rituals.

Because the specifications of the Zen ceremony are closely related to the emperor's own achievements.

Given Li Chengdao's achievements, what kind of etiquette should be used?
In ancient times, he was the only emperor who personally led troops to seal Langjuxu. He also expanded the territory of the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains to Turks, Liaodong and other places, which is the largest in history.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites searched Zhou Rites and all books related to ancient rituals, and after long discussions with officials from Qin Tian Jian, they finally finally confirmed it.

It is planned to hold the Zen ceremony with the grandest standards, that is, the standards of worshiping God.

The God here does not refer to the Western God of later generations, but to the Supreme Jade Emperor God of Haotian Golden Tower, also commonly known as the Jade Emperor, the supreme god in Taoist mythology.

The matter of enshrining Zen is a top priority. The ancients have always worshiped ghosts and gods and believed in the destiny of heaven.

Although Li Chengdao, as the emperor, once said that he did not believe in destiny, others did not dare to be careless. A ceremony of Zen was regarded by everyone as closely related to the future of the country.

With the preparations of countless people, the time for Mount Tai to be enshrined in Zen is gradually approaching.
