Chapter 1163 Chinese Patriarch
Zhou Yan is only 12 years old. This is the first time he has left Bohai and traveled far away. Even with his father, he is inevitably nervous.
The father patted his shoulder and signaled not to be afraid.
"I'll buy a few oranges, don't move here."
My father turned around and left. Zhou Yan did not stare at his father's back, so he naturally couldn't write moving articles. His attention was on the train in front of him. What a huge guy! It was even more spectacular than what was written in the book!
A year ago, the train was opened in the Bohai Sea. Unfortunately, the Zhou family’s farm was too far away. This was the first time Zhou Yan saw a real train, like a long dragon, standing in front of him, extremely spectacular.
Each carriage was like a bottomless pit. People rushed in in groups, shouting and shouting. It was so lively that Zhou Yan's hands gradually burst out with sweat.
At this moment, my father came back with an orange. He pulled up his son and the father and son got on the train.
The following long journey shocked Zhou Yan. He finally got a little understanding of the vastness of the world. After two days of leaving his hometown, there were continuous corn fields on both sides of the road, as if walking in the ocean. After several times of waking up, the scene outside remained unchanged. Zhou Yan once suspected that the train had stopped. It was not until the third day that they entered Shanhaiguan. The scenery finally changed. The vast North China Plain appeared in front of him. Zhou Feng touched his son's head.
"Silly boy, you are blessed. My dad had been wandering on the sea for more than a month, which was much worse than now!"
After more than three days, the train slowly drove into the Xijing Luoyang.
At this time, Luoyang was already full of people and the people were jubilant.
The number of guests and business trips coming from overseas has exceeded 200,000, so it is not considered as representatives and followers participating in the sacrifice.
From the Political Affairs Hall to the peddlers and pawns, everyone started to move.
The entire sacrificial ceremony was dominated by Lu Huiqing, and the specific affairs were handed over to Su Che, the Minister of Rites.
Su Che was so busy that he slept for at most an hour a day. Sometimes he even had to keep going and couldn't rest for a moment. There were so many things and complicated things. In addition to having to entertain so many guests, he also had to arrange the entire sacrificial process.
The Yellow Emperor Mausoleum is located in Xuanyuantai, Qiaoshan, Xiafangzhou, the rule of Yan'an Prefecture.
There were rituals to worship Huangdi throughout the ages. Emperor Wu of Han once led a 100,000 army to tour the north and went to Qiaoshan to pay tribute to Huangdi. Later, the scale of sacrifice became larger and larger. Until the Five Dynasties, after the war, the Huangdi Mausoleum was destroyed. Zhao Da issued an order to allocate special funds to establish a Huangdi palace temple on the eastern foot of Qiaoshan for future generations to pay homage to worship.
When Zhao Zhen was in power, he also issued an order to plant 1,400 pine and cypress trees, and stipulated that three local households would draw one to maintain and clean up the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum. Gradually, the world's number one tomb restored its former majesty.
By the time you recovered Youzhou and commemorate Yanhuang, the status of the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was greatly enhanced.
Every year, countless people come to pay tribute.
And the scale of the sacrifice this time is unprecedentedly grand.
In order to facilitate the sacrificial personnel to go, the court even allocated 2 million yuan to add a railway line to facilitate transportation. But even so, this sacrificial ceremony could only arrange 50,000 people to attend, including 30,000 imperial guards and the remaining 20,000. Apart from the imperial officials and local representatives, there are not many places left.
Most people can only worship in the Yanhuang Ancestral Temple in Luoyang.
According to Su Che's arrangement, including Zhao Shu, Zhao Xu, Wang Ning'an, and the officials of the Zhengshitang, they first commemorated the emperors of the Song Dynasty, and then set off to Qiaoshan to pay tribute to Huangdi. At the same time, sacrificial activities were held in various places.
There is no doubt that this is the most grand event in addition to using troops to other countries since the founding of the Song Dynasty.
The major events of the country are sacrifices and wars.
For this ceremony alone, there were 500,000 people mobilized, not including those who built temples and organized activities in various places.
It's very troublesome and troublesome, but from top to bottom, everyone thinks it's worth it!
When the overseas wanderers with gray hair and wrinkles returned, they cried bitterly in front of the Yanhuang Ancestral Temple, and when the ignorant boys came out of the ancestral temple with excitement on their faces, a special emotion permeated among everyone... This is the sense of belonging!
It sounds very abstract, but not complicated. For example, when a star announces his girlfriend, his female fans cry so hard that they are dying, but the female fans' colleagues, parents, and relatives don't even know this star. They must be wondering, what kind of trend you are trying to find a girlfriend, even if you die, it has nothing to do with you!
This is a kind of role identification. For example, if you are a student from a certain university, even if you have graduated for many years, and when you hear your alma mater is booming and ranking higher and higher, you will unconsciously raise your mouth and the graduation certificate in your hand is also constantly appreciating. If you are stuck in an alma mater that is still standing or even retreating, you will inevitably lose your old face.
A person has to play many roles and belongings in his life, and belongings to the nation is precisely the most important.
You may not feel anything in normal times, but if you look at history a little, you will know that Europe, which is similar to China, has dozens of countries, and has hatred and wars and killings, almost without interruption. Even if you are both Slavs, Russia and Ukraine are in power and fire, and swords and weapons. The language gap between the two is even far less than that of the dialects of the north and south of China, and their appearance is similar, but you just can't become a family that loves each other.
Perhaps we should really thank Qin Shihuang, with the same book and the same track... Although we are all in the south and north, we can all understand "Records of the Grand Historian", recite Li Du's poems, and know the Yangtze River and the Yellow River, the paradise, misty rain, and the south of the Yangtze River... This is the fusion of understanding and resonance of national feelings!
In the long history, the one who can best connect everyone's emotions is the ancestor of Yanhuang in China.
Everyone has an ancestor, with the same blood flowing. Although they are far away from the ocean and thousands of mountains and rivers, they are chasing Chang'e above them, and they will not look for the goddess of the moon... These days, Xijing is like a boiling sound. Various folk performances, stories, operas, and temple fairs, and everything makes the overseas wanderers feel excited. It turns out that everyone's hearts are so close!
The newspapers are fully mobilized, and almost everyone's hearts are warm.
In this warm atmosphere, after Zhao Shu showed off his achievements to the Emperor of the Zhao family in the ancestral temple, he issued an order to pass the throne to the crown prince Zhao Xu, who abdicated to the Supreme Emperor.
Originally, the alternation of the throne was when the empire was the most fragile time, and all the sluts would take the opportunity to cause trouble, but this time it was different, and everyone had to support it.
His Majesty fought south and north and conquered an unprecedented territory. It is reasonable that he wanted to abdicate and rest and let the prince inherit the throne.
Zhao Shu looked very happy, and his thin face shone brightly.
"Put down the burden, maybe how many years can you live!" Zhao Shu sighed.
Gou Yaer immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't talk nonsense, you will live a hundred years old."
Zhao Shu smiled, and he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply. This action made Dogya stupid.
"Your Majesty, are you?"
Zhao Shu smiled, "Don't say it, I know in my heart that if you have today's arrangements, you have made great efforts. I really want to be able to have the best of both worlds."
Zhao Shu sighed very much, "Emperors and powerful ministers of all dynasties have all lived and died. Even Emperor Taizu had to take over the Chai family and replace him. It was not because Taizu was unfaithful. It was really forced." Zhao Shu was very excited. He clenched his fists and said proudly: "We have done it, we have done things that the ancestors of all dynasties could not do. Come, let's make a comeback!"
He wanted to drink, but Gou Yaer stopped him, "Your Majesty, don't worry, my father is still in the dark now. If he doesn't agree, we have no choice."
Zhao Shu rolled his eyelids, but he was so rogue that he was so excited.
"Of course you are responsible for yourselves. I have abdicated and I am powerless."
Gou Yaer snorted, "I knew you would do this, and I don't have to worry about it. Just lend Your Majesty to us!"
...
All members set off, took a special train to Fangzhou, and after a little repair, they would go to Huangdi Temple.
Along the way, Zhao Xu was surrounded by Su Che and more than a dozen bachelors, from morning to night, without a moment of rest, making the little guy dozed off while standing, his eyes were red and tears were filled with tears.
Finally, Zhao Xu, who was tortured, couldn't bear it and ran to Wang Ning'an to cry.
"Master, help me, save my disciple!"
Wang Ning'an was caught off guard and saw that his apprentice was really pitiful, so he could only call Su Che.
"Ziyou, can you cut some projects? Your Majesty is young and cannot afford it."
Su Che spread his hands, "Brother-in-law, we feel sorry for Your Majesty and don't want to let him suffer, but this ceremony is too important. Even the Shang Dynasty has many people. There are no mistakes in the entire sacrificial process, otherwise it would have become a joke for all eternal! The Supreme Emperor is so in poor health that he can't bear the trouble, so he passed the throne to His Majesty early. However, His Majesty is young and has a bad memory, so it is difficult for us to do..."
Wang Ning'an snorted, "What did you do earlier? How can you do such a big thing without the saints preside over it? Don't you prepare a few backup plans?"
"Of course I've prepared it, it's just a little difficult."
“What’s the difficulty?”
"Either Your Majesty nor the Supreme Emperor can preside over the leadership, so you must find someone to replace him. At present, the only prince of Dongping, Zhao Zongjing, has this prestige. I wonder if he can..."
"cannot!"
Zhao Zongjing was coming out of the toilet. When he heard him mentioning him, he immediately refused and said with a bitter face: "Ziyu, Erlang saw it. In just half a day, I have been to the toilet five times. There is no way. I am old and can't stand it."
Zhao Zongjing's reason was too powerful, and even Wang Ning'an was speechless.
Who should replace him?
Zhao Xu raised his head, "Master, can you do it for your disciple?"
Su Zhe immediately said: "Your Majesty, as the Prime Minister, the King of Qin is highly respected, so he can preside over the ceremony for His Majesty."
"That's great!" Zhao Xu slapped his hands and said pitifully again: "Master, do you have the heart to watch your disciples make a fool of themselves? You agree!"
Wang Ning'an frowned. In the past sacrificial ceremonies, not to mention the emperor did not need to go to, even the imperial court officials were not needed. It was enough to send doctors from the Ministry of Rites to join local officials.
Chapter completed!
