I'm so hard

Chapter 295 I Come to Feng Zen

Longhe three years, mid-May.

Zhao Yan passed through the East China Sea, entered the Yellow River, and then headed west all the way, inspecting the people's conditions while returning, and finally returned to Changdan City at the end of June.

At this time, Zhao Yan's prestige in the Great Zhou had reached its peak.

Among the surrounding countries, there is no one who can compete with the Great Zhou.

Next, Zhao Yan will naturally accompany his wife and children and enjoy the pleasant life of an emperor.

……

At the beginning of July, inside the Chuigong Hall.

Minister of Literature Xiao Jingye, Marshal Yang Xinghuai, Minister of Finance Kong Moshan, Dean of Jixian Academy Liu Chaotong, Director of Zhaowen Museum and History Museum Pan Wenyue, Doctor Yushi Shangguan Buyue, and six ministers all asked for an audience.

Zhao Yan, who was sipping tea before the dragon case, couldn't help being taken aback.

It was the first time he had seen such a big battle.

He beckoned, indicating that everyone can enter, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

Could it be that something big happened again?
After a while, all the officials gathered in the hall.

"See Your Majesty!" All the people clasped their hands in unison, in the Chui Gong Hall, courtiers do not need to bow down.

Zhao Yan smiled and said: "You all came together after an appointment, so let's talk about what's going on!"

After all, Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Jingye.

Xiao Jingye immediately took a step forward, and then said: "Your Majesty, now my country is peaceful and peaceful, and my strength is unprecedentedly strong, so I request your Majesty to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen."

Taishan Feng Zen?

Zhao Yan was taken aback for a moment, then stood up suddenly.

Enshrining Zen on Mount Tai is something only an emperor can do.

To explain it in colloquial terms: the emperor reports his work to God.

In ancient times, it was always emphasized that imperial power was granted by heaven. If a certain emperor did very well, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, the national power was unprecedentedly strong, and the weather was good for a year, then the emperor was eligible to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, so as to increase the prestige of the imperial power.

Since the ten dynasties of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has not been an emperor who is qualified to go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen.

This is a great honor.

It almost proves that Zhao Yan is the greatest emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom.

After Feng Chan, it was equivalent to God giving Zhao Yan an honorary certificate of "The First Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty".

This kind of glory is the greatest glory of an emperor, and Zhao Yan has only proclaimed himself emperor for three years. If he can go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, it will definitely be a highlight in the annals of later generations.

Zhao Yan is very thick-skinned, and when he heard this, he blushed a little, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "This...it's a bit early, I think I still have a lot of room for improvement!"

Zhao Yan stood up modestly.

At this time, only a "bang" was heard.

Shangguan was displeased and knelt on the ground.

"Your Majesty, the conferment of Mount Tai is not only to show off His Majesty's achievements, but also to let the people all over the world know the achievements of my Great Zhou. Only this can make the imperial power more stable, the government more prosperous, and the people happier..."

Shangguan's displeased mouth was like the flood of the Yellow River, and he spoke in one breath for nearly a quarter of an hour.

In the end, Zhao Yan actually heard a meaning: If he doesn't ask Taishan to enshrine Zen, then he will be sorry for the common people in the world!

"Okay...ok...okay, I agree, and let the Ministry of Rites arrange this matter!" Zhao Yan said.

Cai You, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out quickly, and then presented a note, saying: "Your Majesty, I have already drafted the date, and August [-]st is the most suitable for enshrining Zen. According to previous estimates, it is about ten days' drive from Changdan to Mount Tai. , Your Majesty only needs to set off in ten days."

"Okay, I'll listen to you." Zhao Yan smiled.

Afterwards, Zhao Yan asked all the courtiers to retreat, leaving Xiao Jingye, Kong Moshan, and Yang Xinghuai behind.

Zhao Yan looked at Kong Moshan and asked, "Chairman, how is your account going?"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Jingye and Yang Xinghuai looked at Kong Moshan expectantly.

Kong Moshan took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, according to what your Majesty said, if Liu Dazhong's business income and Liu Qing's foreign trade income are added together, it can basically meet the expenses of my Great Zhou court, and these two items Income is increasing rapidly!"

"Then what do you think, if I announce this when Mount Tai is enshrining Zen, is the timing appropriate?" Zhao Yan then asked.

"Suitable."

"Not suitable."

It was Kong Moshan who said it was suitable, and Xiao Jingye and Yang Xinghuai who said it was not.

Zhao Yan looked at Xiao Jingye and Yang Xinghuai, smiled and said: "I know the worries of the two of you, and I will decide whether to declare this matter or not."

Xiao Jingye and Yang Xinghuai looked at each other, then nodded and stopped talking.

……

ten days later.

Zhao Yan handed over the imperial court's response to Xiao Jingye and Yang Xinghuai, and both of them could approve the memorial on Zhao Yan's behalf if it was not a particularly important event.

And Zhao Yan brought Kong Moshan, Minister of Finance, Liu Chaotong, President of Jixian Academy, Cai You, Minister of Rites, and up-and-comers Kong Ze, Xiao Zijie and Shangguan Yuntun.

Under the protection of the [-] forbidden troops led by Shen Tuyi, they went to Mount Tai together.

Among them were [-] Dragon Guards, all carrying firearms, ensuring Zhao Yan's safety was absolutely foolproof.

Zhao Yan had handed over all the matters concerning Taishan Fengchan to Liu Chaotong and Cai You, so it was very easy for him to go on tour this time.

There are more than 3000 horse-drawn carriages in the large team of more than 50 people, like a long dragon, marching eastward along the official road.

The only thing that seems low-key is that there is no imperial flag in the team.

Although the uninformed common people couldn't see that this was a guard of honor for the current emperor, they also knew that it was a trip of a high official.

The reason why Zhao Yan withdrew the imperial flag was not because he was afraid of being assassinated, but because the people were too enthusiastic and worshiped him as the emperor too much.

If the common people know that Zhao Yan is passing by, then it must be the one who takes the egg to take the egg, and the one who kills the chicken to kill the chicken...

Zhao Yan felt that it was too troublesome, so he pretended to be casual all the way.

At this moment, the weather has gradually become hotter.

But Zhao didn't feel uncomfortable at all, because in the carriage, there were four maids shaking fans for him, and all kinds of cold drinks and fruits were available.

Followed by five chefs, they can meet any catering requirements of Zhao Yan at any time.

While Zhao Yan is enjoying himself, he will always unconsciously pinch his thigh to make sure whether he is living in a dream.

It's such a comfortable day!
A few days later, the army came to the foot of Mount Tai.

Mount Tai in this world does not have any man-made stone ladders, and the highest peak is very steep, even for ordinary middle-aged men, it is difficult to climb up within two or three hours.

Cai You said to Zhao Yan: "Your Majesty, the day after tomorrow is August [-]st. I don't know whether to climb to the top today or tomorrow. Let us set up the tent on the top of the mountain first."

Zhao Yan exhaled, and said: "The scenery is naturally the best on the peak, and I will climb to the top today!"

After all, Zhao Yan looked at Shangguan Yuntun, Xiao Zijie, Kong Ze, and Heiwa who were on the side, and said, "Would you four compete with me to see who can reach the top the fastest?"

"Willing to accompany His Majesty!" The four replied at the same time.

Xiao Zijie, Kong Ze, and Hei Wa were all excited, because this height was easy for them.

But Shangguan Yuntun looked at the towering mountain, but felt a little dizzy. According to his body, he might not have the strength to climb halfway up the mountain.

But as a scholar, how could he be cowardly.

Immediately, he straightened his chest and was instantly full of confidence.
