Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 300 Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven
"Everyone! Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, handed over the memorial. Please have a look." Wang Quan took a memorial that Xu Jingzong handed over to Li Chengqian.

Xu Jingzong is the minister of the Ministry of Rites, who manages etiquette, sacrifices, and school tributes. In short, as long as it is related to this, he is in charge.

Therefore, what Xu Jingzong played must have something to do with sacrificial etiquette.

Li Chengqian took the memorial from Wang Quan and opened it to watch.

Xu Jingzong's memorial wrote: "The temple of the Hongnong Mansion should be destroyed and replaced. According to the old rules, Wei Xuancheng, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, thought that the ruined owner should be buried. However, the ancestors of all nations have always had their own traditions. Once they are buried, things will not be allowed. .Dr. Jin Fan Xuan intends to set up a temple separately, and Feng Zhengxi waited for the Lord to place it there."

"Fang's burial is quite reasonable. There is no allusion to the matter, and it is not enough to rely on. It is also said that the destruction of the Lord is hidden in Tianfu, and it is hidden by auspiciousness. There are altars and walls, where prayers can reach, it is said to be appropriate. Today's temple system is different from the ancient ones, with common foundations and separate rooms, and the West is the first."

"If you are still in the honorable position in Xijia, you will sacrifice when you pray, and you will only enjoy it if you don't let it go. The old rituals are safe. The emperor's temple in Hongnong Mansion killed distant relatives. According to the old chapter, the rituals were destroyed one after another. Minister. Wait for the consultation, move to the gods, hide in the closet, sincerely teach, and promote the reason."

Talking about a lot is actually saying one thing.

That is, after the death of the late emperor, the tablet of the late emperor's main god should be placed in the ancestral temple, and he should be enshrined and sacrificed with the ancestors.

This has to mention the issue of sacrifices in the temple of the emperor's family.

"Ritual System·Royal System": There are seven temples for the son of heaven, five temples for princes, three temples for officials, one temple for scholars, and sacrifices for ordinary people in their sleeping quarters.

The so-called Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven means that the four relatives, the second son and the first ancestor can be worshiped in the family temple of the Son of Heaven.

The so-called four relatives are the father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and great-grandfather, and the second is the father and grandfather of the great-grandfather, as well as the first ancestor of your family.

This is a way of offering sacrifices strictly in accordance with the Zhaomu system.

Now that Li Er is dead, his main god tablet will naturally be placed in the Taimiao to be enshrined in the four seasons.

But here comes the problem. Since it is the Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven, there are only seven main priests. As for the others, whether they have the opportunity to be sacrificed or not, they are not treated as well as the seven of them.

There are already seven in the Taimiao, and there is no place for Li Er at all.

If you want to put the main god tablet of Li Chengqian's father Li Er, you have to invite an ancestor inside and put it in the interleaved room.

That's why Xu Jingzong gave Li Chengqian such a memorial, which clearly explained whose main god card should be invited to the intermediary room to make room for Li Er.

Gaozu Li Yuan is Li Chengqian's grandfather, so it is naturally impossible to invite him to the private room, and the two above Gaozu are naturally not qualified enough to go to the private room.

The seven enshrined in the Li Tang Tai Temple are Li Er, the emperor of Hongnongfu, Li Xi, the Duke of Xuanjian, Li Tianci, the king of Yi, Li Hu, the emperor of Taizu, Li Yi, the emperor of Shizu Yuan, Li Yuan, the emperor of Dawu, and the eldest grandson Wen. There are seven queens in total.

That is to say, among the seven, except Li Er, Lord of Hongnong Mansion, who is the most qualified, please stay in the private room, the other six have not yet received this treatment.

In the end, after many choices, only the Hongnong Mansion Lord met the requirements the most.

Who made him stay away from Li Chengqian!If you don't choose him, who else can you choose?

At first, when Li Yuan passed away, when Li Er discussed the ancestral temple system, he first considered enshrining the main god tablet of Xiliang King Li Hao.

But the ministers disliked that Li Hao's status was not high enough, so they suggested that Li Er put his mind on Li Er.

In the end, Li Er actually agreed. Perhaps in Li Er's opinion, Li Er was more capable of making a move than Li Hao, who was in a corner.

Just because Li Er was enshrined in the Taimiao, Taoism also rose and became the state religion of the Li and Tang Dynasties.

Li Chengqian picked up a pen and drew an imperial edict on Xu Jingzong's memorial, indicating that his proposal was approved.

Li Chengqian closed the memorial, handed it to Wang Quan, and said, "I have approved what Xu Jingzong, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, will preside over and organize it himself, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order, took the memorial, greeted a servant, gave him the memorial, asked him to hand it over to Xu Jingzong, and conveyed Li Chengqian's meaning to Xu Jingzong.

"Has the edict for Li Ji's promotion to Shangshu Zuo Pushe been issued?" Li Chengqian asked with his head bowed while reviewing the memorial.

"It's been sent out! Li Ji has also entered Xie En's paper, do you want the servants to find it out for everyone to read?" Wang Quan asked.

"No need!" Li Chengqian said.

It was the late emperor's will to shoot Li Ji Shangshu Zuo Pu, and he just followed suit. As for mentioning it, he just asked casually. As for Xie En's notes, it's not the same thing.

"Is there anything new at the research institute?" Li Chengqian asked.

"The research institute has made new breakthroughs, and the remaining difficulties are still being overcome." Wang Quan said the latest developments of the research institute.

"Oh!" Li Chengqian raised his head and asked, "Which technology has made a breakthrough?"

"It's the technology of hybrid rice. Now we can grow drought-tolerant rice, and the yield per mu is more than one stone more than the original one, nearly two stones." Wang Quan said.

"This is good news, what about the others? How is the development of firearms?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Firearms research has now produced self-generating muskets, but in terms of performance, there are still some shortcomings. The research institute is breaking through this difficulty."

"As for the artillery that everyone is talking about, it is still under high-level research and development and confidentiality." Wang Quan said.

"That is to say, they haven't researched artillery at all, and they haven't even started the research, right?" Li Chengqian asked.

"Yes?" Wang Quan told the truth.

"Send people to the research institute and let them focus on the research of self-generating muskets and develop the finished product as soon as possible." Li Chengqian said.

"Promise!" Wang Quan took the order, recruited his confidants and servants, and asked him to go to the research institute to deliver the message.

"How is the research on explosives?" After Wang Quan sent someone to the research institute, Li Chengqian continued to ask.

"The research institute of explosives has researched a lot of things. There are mines that are buried in the ground and will detonate once the enemy steps on them. They are small and exquisite. After being ignited in the hand, they can be thrown directly to kill the enemy. hand grenades and so on," Wang Quanhui reported.

Li Chengqian is still very satisfied with the progress of the research institute.

"Do you want to go to the research institute?" Wang Quan asked.

"I'm not going! I'm busy with state affairs recently, so I don't have the time to go to some research institute. By the way, you can send someone to the research institute again and tell them not to focus on researching technology, but also to cultivate scientific research talents. Talented people can better research good things." Li Chengqian said.

"Yes, this servant will order someone to do it!" Wang Quan said.
