On June 12, after six days of continuous marching, they drove to Yingtianfu and lined up their guard of honor to prepare to enter the city. Zhao Mengjin led the Tianfu civil and military and the elders and celebrities in the city to welcome ten miles away, seeing the arrival of the car, the drums and music rang out for a while, and the mountain shouted long live. Zhao Hao was too hot, still wearing military uniforms, just a new one, he got out of the car to meet everyone, after a little greeting and re-boarding, Zhao Mengjin and the first army commander Chen Fenglin rode a horse to support the royal car, and the drive started again.

"Your Majesty, there is Xingshan in front, where Emperor Gaozong built an altar to sue heaven and earth to succeed to the throne!" At this time, the city was in sight, and Zhao Mengjin pointed to a small mountain road southwest of the city gate.

"Oh, even so, I'm going to pay a respect!" Zhao Yu looked over and saw that there was a small mound in the west of the door, which could not be called a mountain, at most it could only be regarded as a larger mound, but since it was the place where the ancestors ascended the throne, how could he express it, so he commanded.

"Your Majesty, although this mountain is small, it is also a mountain." Wang Yinglin, who was with him, saw the emperor's puzzled face, and hurriedly explained, "In ancient times, Shundian Zhao had two states out of ten, and there were two mountains in ten, and one mountain was sealed in each state. Wu Song is the domain of Yuzhou, and those who are in the territory are leveled and there are no mountains to show, so the high ones of Gangfu are all mountains. ”

"It turned out to be General Liba!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Zhao Mengjin and Chen Fenglin, who were on the side, also laughed.

"Also...... That's it! His Majesty's answer was vulgar, and the two generals laughed vulgarly, Wang Yinglin looked embarrassed, but he also understood that the little emperor had always been like this, and said vaguely.

His Majesty wanted to sacrifice to the mountain, and the marching brigade stopped again, and since Zhao Mengjin mentioned this, he must have made preparations for His Majesty to worship. After hearing this, the arrangement immediately began, and Zhao Yu got out of the car and walked towards it to show respect. He saw that the area around Xingshan was not desolate, there were pavilions built on the mountain and around it, trees were planted all over the mountain, and there was a river embankment nearby, but it was also a place of scenic spots.

However, Zhao Hao felt that such a scenery was probably not appreciated by Zhao Gou at that time, and he ascended the throne in Yingtianfu for less than half a year, and was forced to move the capital to Hangzhou under the strong military pressure of the Jin soldiers, and confronted the Jin State across the river, establishing the "Southern Song Dynasty" in history. Subsequently, the Jin army crossed the border in a big way, and Liu Yu, the puppet emperor of Qi supported by the Jin Dynasty, reduced Nanjing to Guide; A hundred years later, Jin Aizong moved the capital here under the pursuit of Meng Yuan, and two years later it was broken by the Song general Quanzicai, and Li Zong issued a list to restore the name of Nanjing; But soon it was captured by the Yuan army, renamed Guide Mansion, and Songcheng was renamed Suiyang, and it was more than 50 years in the blink of an eye.

"That's where Emperor Gaozong ascended the altar and received the mandate of heaven?" Zhao Yu only took Wang Yinglin, Zhao Mengjin and Ni Liang to accompany the sacrifice, and Tan Fei was arranging guards and honor guards over there, while he rested in the pavilion next to him and cleaned his hands and changed his clothes. When it was all done, he looked up at the outside of the pavilion and asked.

"Your Majesty, it's not an altar, it's a platform, and the people also call it the Fire God Terrace!" Zhao Mengjin shook his head and said, and then pointed to a dirt platform not far away.

"Alas, the altar looks like it's been abandoned for years!" Zhao Yu turned his head to see what he was referring to, the Song Dynasty moved north, the altar was naturally unmaintained, and after more than 100 years of wind and rain, only the remains of the high platform remained, but he wondered why the high platform looked even older, why did it remain to this day?

"Your Majesty, there is an allusion here...... Wang Yinglin also saw the disappointment of the little emperor, and hurriedly explained, "Yan Bo is the son of Emperor Yu and the first ancestor of Shang. Legend has it that the emperor took the emperor to go out to inspect the subjects, came here, and saw that the people here were still eating raw, so he ordered the uncle to be Huozheng, and this place became the fief of the uncle, and the title was Shang. ”

He first led the people to bring fire from far away, and in order to prevent the fire from being extinguished by rain or floods, he tried to build a platform and a tent to protect it from the rain. In this way, the people can not only make fires everywhere, but also make the fire last for a long time, and everyone is grateful to him for thinking that God and benefiting the people. ”

"After his death, the people remembered his merits and with reverence, buried him on the mound where he had stored the fire during his lifetime, and built a shrine to worship him, and according to the custom of the time, each mourner of his remembrance added a bag of loess to his grave. As a result, the mounds were piled up larger and larger for thousands of years. And because the title of Yan Bo is Shang, this mound has been called Shangqiu since then, and it has been named after it for a long time. ”

"Oh, it turns out that Shangqiu got its name from this, and I have been taught!" Zhao Yu nodded.

Listening to his explanation, he also remembered that one of his Shangqiu classmates in the Olympic Games was dissatisfied with the fire-making ceremony, and he believed that Shangqiu City was the birthplace of China's artificial fire-making technology, and the historical allusion of the Suiren's drilling wood to make fire was as ancient and beautiful as the Western legend of Prometheus stealing fire in Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. Moreover, many of the fire-making ceremonies were held in Shangqiu, but the Olympic Games did not hold a fire-making ceremony, and the torch relay did not pass through the Suiwang Mausoleum and the relay station set up in Ganbotai, which had preserved the flame for mankind.

Zhao Yucai knew something about this, but the identification of the national Yanbotai was inclined to the ancient stargazing platform, which was used to worship Mars and observe the movement of Mars. In order to observe the movement of the sun, moon, metal, wood, water, fire, earth and other stars, ancient people divided the heavens into 28 cells of different sizes, called the 28 Nakshatras, as a sign of observation, used to say the position reached by the sun, moon and five stars.

Among them, there is a star in the Eastern Canglong Seven Houses facing Shangqiu, which is the Antares, also known as Mars and Shangxing. According to research, the trajectory of this star was stable more than 4,000 years ago, and the annual movement law remained unchanged, when it rose eastward, when it was in the south, when it set in the west, and the time of reappearance every year was very accurate. At that time, he used this simplest method to determine the agricultural time and season with the naked eye, telling people when to start harvesting and when to start farming, so as to guide agricultural and animal husbandry production.

Shang Zuqi is called Yan Bo, but also because the Tai Sui Star appears in the Mao time called "Shan Yan", and in the first year of the appearance is called "Yan Feng", over time, the observation of Mars and Tai Sui Star Huozheng is called Yan Bo, and later it was respected as the god of fire by the people. But Zhao Yu didn't want to explain too much at this time, showing that he knew a lot and breaking the tradition for many years, which would attract criticism from the people.

Because this matter is also about the secret of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin building the original temple here. Because of the blood relationship of Shangqiu Gu Naiying, the surname Zhao, the main activity area of the Holy Ancestor Boyi; Zhao Kuangyin, a descendant of Ying Zhao, "conforms to heaven and man" and takes advantage of fire virtue to become the emperor, which is the retribution of the ancestor Boyi Shengde. Liu Chu's "The Three Temples of Hongqing Palace" once revealed one or two, which said:

"Those who are chosen by God to build a Ming saint and are destined to be in the position of heaven are rewarded for their merits", "But Boyi's merits have not been repaid, and they are reunited in Zhao's Yan with a great life...... Taizu took advantage of the fire and became the emperor, and succeeded in the success. Tianyun Jitu, said only Shangqiu", "Fu Boyi began to hold the fire and the bottom of the performance, and the Song Dynasty to the fire emperor, flourished in the fire ruins. And the husband is eager to start a business with a condensation of life, because the thing is based on the soil, from the soil to build the number, happy to reverse the beginning, and the ceremony does not forget its origin. is pretended to be made in the original temple, built in a different capital", Zhao Yu naturally would not question the orthodoxy of the ancestors, that is asking for trouble.

"Your Majesty, Yan Botai still has a great relationship with my Chaozhaoxing!" Zhao Mengjin saw that it would take some time to set up the altar over there, so in order not to bore the little emperor, he continued the topic.

"I know that Taizu once served as the envoy of the Song Prefecture Festival, and since then, what else does it have to do with it?" Tens of thousands of troops waited here on a hot day because of their own temporary intentions, and Zhao Yu was also a little impatient, so he asked casually.

"Your Majesty may not know, the minister is young and old, and often mentions that Taizu was not ambitious at the beginning, so he went to the north from Xinyang to defect to Guo Wei, once passed by the Emperor's Mausoleum, and went to the Emperor's Temple to draw lots to ask for divination, and the sign said that he should have the destiny of the Son of Heaven. Taizu was delighted, traveled to Suiyang, drunk in the temple of Yanbo, felt different in the dream, woke up, burned incense on the hall, took the wood king Pi Jue to Bu Pingsheng, since he was about to be handsome, so he occupied it with ninety-five, Juan circled in the air, and after falling, the results displayed were completely consistent with the meaning of his previous divination. ”

After that, Taizu really became the envoy of the German army, and he was born in the Song Dynasty, and then the generals wore the yellow robe and added to the Zen position of the Chai family. Therefore, it was chosen as his own place of Longxing, and the place where Songzhou is located corresponds to the Antares in the 28 constellations, and the Antares in the Antares is also called the Great Fire. The previous dynasty Zhou belonged to wood, wood made fire, and the fire of the new dynasty corresponded, so the national fortune was determined to be a fire virtue, and the king was still red. After ascending the throne, he issued an edict to overhaul the Emperor's Tomb and the Emperor's Temple, and built the Yanbo Temple, so that the Nanjing chief officials worshiped it with three sacrifices in March and September every year, and continued for many years. It's a pity that the temple was destroyed in the change of Renchen, and only the earth platform remained, and the rural villagers were ignorant and built a temple of the queen mother on it. ”

"Oh, there is such an allusion in it, since Taizu has issued an edict to worship it, I can't ignore it. It was allocated by the inner government, rebuilt in accordance with the old system, and followed the practice of worshipping the officials of the heavenly government, so as to bless me for thousands of generations. Zhao Hao listened and groaned slightly. And scolded in his heart, he really has nothing to do, don't look at Zhao Kuangyin had a dream, and he took a good hexagram, which can be regarded as the mandate of heaven in ancient times and used as the basis for the superiority. Then he naturally can't wait to ignore it, so he can only pay money to rebuild, otherwise he will become an unfilial queen.

"Obey the order!" The emperor is Chrysostom, and the export is constitutional, and it is related to his own foundation, Zhao Mengjin did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly gave gifts to receive the order.

At this time, an official announced that the work of sacrificing the mountain had been completed, and His Majesty was invited to officiate at the ceremony. Zhao Hao nodded and could start, the drum music suddenly rose again, and under the support of the ministers, he ascended the earthen platform to the earthen bun, burned incense and prayed, and gave a salute to worship from afar......
