Datang Nongsheng

Chapter 769
Burning paper, burning incense, chanting sacrificial texts, the inherent routines of the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, in fact, without amplifying equipment, few people could hear what Sun Xiangfu actually read on the high platform.

So, reading, reading, that's all. Li Shimin asked someone to grab the pen and beautify himself. If he really believed the content in it, his intelligence point would lose at least two stars.

"Husband, be serious. After reading, you should turn around and go to the stairs to accept the greetings of your subjects." Seeing that Sun Xiangfu was a little dazed after reading the tribute that made his skin goosebumps, Yu Xiu'er reminded road.

"What should I do next?"

"When you get to the stairs, just stand still, Guild Zhao will call out according to the procedure!"

"Let's go together!"

"No, you are the saint, you just go to accept the worship."

"We are one as a husband and wife!"

"Alright then! But, I'm half a step behind you."

After a while, the two slightly staggered half their positions, returned to the front of the stairs, and looked directly down the stage.

"Bye~!"

Following Changsun Wuji's shout, all the subjects around the altar bowed their hands and shouted, "Greetings, Master Sun."

"Husband, raise your hands, raise your hands."

Yu Xiu'er opened her mouth slightly, and reminded with a breathy voice.

So, Sun Xiangfu spread his hands flat and lifted them up, just like Li Shimin did when he was in the court meeting before, exempting the courtiers from saluting.

"Get up~!"

Changsun Wuji shouted again, except for Li Shimin and his wife who did not bow down, everyone stood up straight according to the words.

"Please His Majesty the Supreme Emperor, crown the new saint."

Although Li Shimin hadn't actually completed the ceremony of adding the title of supreme emperor, but as early as last year, the common people asked for orders in front of the Daming Palace, and after Li Shimin agreed to add the title of honor, everyone called it that in public.

At this time, Wu Meiniang, who had been standing under the Temple of Heaven, and two maids came over behind Li Shimin and his wife with three trays.

The five people stood in a formation in front of the stairs in front of the Temple of Heaven, and walked up one step, while Sun Xiangfu turned around, facing the audience sideways, and knelt on the kneeling mat that had been laid out on the Temple of Heaven long ago. Next, after Li Shimin came onto the stage, he leaned forward and stuck his head out.

Empress Changsun took off the fist-sized golden crown that she was wearing on top of her head, and Li Shimin had already picked up a pure gold Yishan crown from the tray that Wu Meiniang was carrying.

This crown was only made in the last few days. This is the first time Li Shimin has seen it. Around the crown, there is a circle of diamonds inlaid with red, blue, purple and other colors. Two golden dragons are carved on the hair bun. In the middle of the golden dragon is not a golden bead with flame cloud patterns, but a relatively three-dimensional Nong character wrapped in two golden rice ears and carved with Sun Xiangfu's Song style characters.

Generally speaking, this crown is more beautiful than the double dragon play pearl crown on Li Shimin's head, because Li Shimin's crown does not have so many bright and colorful big diamonds, and the fireball in the center is also Not like Sun Xiangfu's cap emblem, the core engraved with a big character is conspicuous and beautiful.

However, his new crown is almost finished, it is called the Nine Dragon Wings Crown, and it will be the most gorgeous and valuable crown in the world after the big crimson diamond that can play the finishing touch is inlaid on it. No, from now on, none of his descendants will dare to wear his supreme crown.

"Please Your Majesty the Emperor, please tie the belt for the new saint." The eldest Sun Wuji who acted as the master of ceremonies shouted again after Sun Xiangfu's new crown was put on.

At this time, Sun Xiangfu stood up from the kneeling mat, faced the subjects and people in the audience, and stretched out his hands. Empress Changsun and Yu Xiuer, one on the left and one on the right, put the jade belt of the former prince and young teacher on Sun Xiangfu's body, and the belt on it. He took off the golden purple fish talisman together and put them in the empty tray that Wu Meiniang was holding.

Li Shimin also buckled the white jade belt inlaid with golden dragons and various gemstones carried by the second maid on Sun Xiangfu's waist.

"Please Your Majesty the Supreme Emperor, make a seal for the new saint." After the belt was fastened, Changsun Wuji shouted again.

Ordinary ministers wear fish bags and fish charms, like the gold and purple fish charms on Sun Xiangfu's waist before, which are already the highest level of things that a courtier can wear. It represents the identity and authority of an official.

However, the emperor, the saint, wears the jade seal, and Sun Xiangfu canonize the saint, and enjoys the same treatment as the previous emperors. Therefore, a jade seal that is smaller than the imperial jade seal in Li Shimin's hand is hung on Sun Xiangfu's. On the waist, this thing is actually used for affixing a seal, and it will be Sun Xiangfu's administrative seal in the future.

Let the emperor tie a belt and hang a seal for himself. In this world, Sun Xiangfu is the only one. Before his proud expression was revealed, Li Shimin whispered in his ear, "In a few months, it will be his turn." You put a seal on my girdle."

"Hehe, that's because the minister took advantage of it." Sun Xiangfu replied in a low voice, not without a bit of complacency in his tone.

Li Shimin thought so too, Sun Xiangfu conferred the title of saint, he just organized officials in Beijing and some common people to come to watch the ceremony, moreover, it is normal for the superiors to crown their subordinates.

And when he crowned himself, all officials above the level of governor of the state from all over the country were present, and Sun Xiangfu, as a minister, crowned him.

Generally speaking, the crowned person is a person with a higher status and a longer seniority than the crowned person.

It's a pity that Li Yuan has been dead for several years. In this world, there is no one with a more noble status than Li Shimin, so he can only settle for the second best, and let Sun Xiangfu, whose status is only below him in the future, come.

"The new sage is being saluted by the subjects, worship~" Changsun Wuji shouted again after putting on a whole set of sage's attire.

At this time, the people in the audience, led by Li Chengqian again, bowed down and bowed down, shouting, "Meet the saint."

Sun Xiangfu once again spread his hands flat and raised them upwards, signaling for everyone to excuse himself.

After everyone resumed their standing formation, Changsun Wuji shouted, "Xinsheng please give a speech."

Here, it can be regarded as the first public oracle that Sun Xiangfu uttered after he became a saint. In fact, the Ministry of Rites had written some lines that he tried hard to learn before, but Sun Xiangfu felt that it was inappropriate. In the end, he still needed to use Some plagiarism has changed the modus operandi.

I saw him step forward and walk to the forefront of the steps.He said loudly towards the audience, "Everyone who succeeds me as a scholar must establish a heart for the world, establish a life for the people, create unique knowledge for mankind, and create peace for all generations."

As soon as these words came out, including Li Shimin, all the people who heard them on the spot felt their hearts beat faster. There was a feeling that there was a mountain in front of them, and they needed to raise their heads to the top to see the mountain from afar.

Because it is too ambitious.

The understanding of this sentence by scholars like Li Shimin is that anyone who inherits my theory should establish core values ​​for the whole society, choose the correct direction of destiny for the people, establish the meaning of life, and create possibilities for human research. It is our mission to develop the technology that allows everyone to live and work, and to develop a foundation that can last forever for the world.

This is really a majestic sentence that can only be said from the perspective of a saint.

After his words fell, the musicians of the art troupe, the soldiers lined up at the Temple of Heaven Square, and even the soldiers lined up to maintain order along the entire road leading to the Weishui Wharf all began to repeat his words.

Immediately, the sound wave, with the Temple of Heaven Square as the center, continued to spread to farther places. This sentence was repeated in the mouths of countless soldiers and ordinary people, and gradually, it resounded throughout the entire Chang'an City, and it lasted for a long time. interest.

In the Temple of Heaven Square, the person with the most exciting expression is actually Li Chunfeng, who is standing at the head of the eunuch supervisor.

He never imagined that after he figured out that Sun Xiangfu had the life of a saint more than 20 years ago, he would be lucky enough to witness the scene of him proving and becoming a saint. This is simply unbelievable.

It turns out that the sage's perspective of seeing things in his heart is so high that it's no wonder that Confucius and Mencius' words are all the most reasonable in the world. This is really a different level of existence from ordinary people.

If Li Shimin thought that Sun Xiangfu was the one who gave him the supreme crown, he felt a little awkward and imperfect, but now, he doesn't think so.

Sun Xiangfu has this qualification. In this world, there is no more suitable person than him to crown himself.

People from almost all social classes were shocked when they heard this sentence, whether it was Sun Xiangfu’s friends in the past, such as the Xingfu Village Department doing research in various research institutes, or Jiuyuan County Department of Academician Ph.D.

Those who had a feud with Sun Xiangfu in the past, such as Lu Wenyuan with five surnames and seven families, Zheng Xuancheng and others, and Wang Xu who was cheated by Sun Xiangfu for more than ten years, are full of emotions at this moment.

They only now feel how small they are in front of a saint.

Looking back on the past, some enlightened people felt that they were shameless and low-level at that time, and some felt that they were stupid and ridiculous.Others feel that they should also work hard in the future to move in the direction that Sun Xiangfu said.

Including Kong Yingda, who understood this sentence as another version of Confucianism, and a group of Confucian students.

Thanks to the medical skills of Shanyang Medical College, Kong Yingda has not died yet, and he came to the scene surrounded by many teaching doctors. When he heard this sentence, he thought it was true A Confucian disciple said it!

If you add a sentence 'for the sake of the sage', it will be perfect.

It's a pity that Sun Xiangfu didn't appeal to everyone to inherit the unique knowledge of the past saints. This is even a requirement for future disciples directly from the perspective of the status of a saint.

After he changed this sentence in the original sentence, what he expressed was that he hoped that the latecomers would jump out of the framework of only learning the knowledge theory of the sages, open up the horizon of innovation, and create more and newer knowledge to ensure the survival of human beings. , multiply and develop.

One is to fry leftovers in the pot created by the ancestors thousands of years ago, and the other is to let the disciples learn and open up more cooking pots for the common people. This idea is not at the same level.

But no matter what, Kong Yingda has already recognized in his heart that Sun Xiangfu is a person who can be compared with the first saint. His talents and learning are no longer comparable to people like himself. He deserves the title of saint .

When the whole of Chang'an was shaken by these words, the entire ceremony of conferring the saint ended in the third bowing down of the subjects to Sun Xiangfu.

When the words "follow the teachings of the sages" were shouted out by all the people present, Sun Xiangfu could finally step down from the stage.

However, he failed to leave smoothly, and all the courtiers who were acquainted in the past gathered around to congratulate, shook hands, and greeted him.

Except for Li Ke and Sun Xiaomei, Sun Xiangfu met most of the acquaintances who are still alive, because Li Ke is now appointed by Li Shimin as the governor of the Byzantine region, and Sun Xiaomei is following him, teaching the local people about farming, and there may be one or two more In a month's time, they will leave for Chang'an to participate in the ceremony of Li Shimin adding the title of emperor.
