Chapter 503: Xiangrui Imperial Exemption
From the time he received the notice to the ceremony to be held in Mount Tai on August 15, Heifu only had half a month. So he hurriedly handed over the government affairs to the county Cheng and Chen Pingren, took Wei Yang and dozens of other people, and rushed all the way to the west, and finally arrived at Lixia City in Jibei County on the tenth day of August.
The history is the Jinan of later generations, and the clear water meanders through the north of the city. I heard that there are many natural springs inside and outside the city, but Heifu passed by this twice in a hurry, and he didn't bother to look at the Baotu Spring that was still naturally spraying water, so he only asked the person who came to this Luo Xinggong in advance: "Where is Your Majesty?" ”
The confessor knew that Heifu was the emperor's favorite minister, and he was one of the few people who was named to participate in the Zen sealing ceremony, so he said: "Dare to speak out and make it in Shaoshang, Your Majesty has arrived in Zou County, and is ...... in the sacrifice of Yishan"
Zou County is in Xue County, is the base camp of Confucianism, and Yishan is also called Dongshan, it is said that Confucius "climbed Dongshan and Xiaolu, climbed Mount Tai and the small world", so under the interpretation of Confucianism, Dengyi Mountain, it became an appetizer before Mount Tai sealed Zen.
Although the emperor didn't like Confucianism very much, he had raised seventy doctors for so many years for these things to set etiquette. He did not categorically deny the proposal of the Confucian scholars. Since it is a famous local mountain, then climb it to take a look, just through that place, let the prime minister, the imperial historian and others, and Qilu Confucian scholars discuss the carving of stones, praise Qin De, discuss the Zen etiquette, and look at the mountains and rivers.
Hearing that he had caught up, Heifu breathed a sigh of relief, but said secretly:
"But I heard that Yishan is only more than 500 meters high, and Qin Shi Huang, who is used to seeing the steep mountains and rivers in Guanzhong, I'm afraid I will dislike it for being short!"
After a short rest, Heifu and his entourage continued southward, and on August 12, they arrived at the foot of Mount Tai, where Qin Shi Huang's eastern tour had just arrived.
Before he could meet Qin Shi Huang, Heifu first met an acquaintance, Yang Xu, who had been ordered by Qin Shi Huang to go to Nanchang to promote him to the knighthood.
Today's Yang Yu is already a senior doctor, responsible for driving one step ahead of the emperor, Zhang Luo's residence in Mount Tai, and his power is not small.
Yang Yu knew that Heifu's status was higher than that of the year, so he respectfully bowed to Heifu and led him to the emperor's resting palace......
"In addition to the 3,000 Lang Wei army, there are hundreds of Hu Benshi doctors, and the higher status is Liehou Tongwu Marquis Wang Ben, Liehou Wucheng Marquis Wang Li, Lunhou Jiancheng Marquis Zhaohai, Lunhou Wuxin Marquis Feng Wuxue, Right Prime Minister Li Si, Left Prime Minister Wang Xuan, Qing Wang Wu, and the five masters and children......"
Good guy, Heifu calculated, there were actually four marquis who came to cheer, Wang Li inherited Wang Qian's title, but the emperor changed the supreme consummation of "Wucheng" to "Wucheng", the meaning is obvious: the lost boy of the Wang family is still far from the level of his eldest father!
And Wuxin Hou Feng Wuxue is a great hero when pacifying Yan Zhao, and Jiancheng Hou Zhaohai is the county guard of Beidi, an old minister in the era of King Qin Zhao, who has accumulated meritorious deeds and has been mixed to the position of the chief of the great concubine. After the great victory in the Northland, he relied on logistics and finally accompanied Tian as a marquis, and his title was higher than that of the left and right prime ministers.
This is also deliberately done by the emperor, so that the title with real power is general, and the title without real power is high, to achieve a delicate balance, even Li Xin, with the merit of destroying the Yue clan, was promoted to the head of the carriage, and failed to directly seal the marquis.
However, when Heifu heard the back, he heard that Qin Shi Huang's nephew, the son of Chang'an Jun Chengji, who was a traitor in the early years, was here, but there was no son Fusu, so he couldn't help but be surprised.
"What did this upright kid do to annoy his father?"
Yang Yu knew that Heifu had worked with Gongzi Fusu, and when he saw that he wanted to talk and stopped, he knew what he wanted to ask, so he sighed and said:
"Your Majesty originally wanted to bring the eldest son, but the eldest son did not approve of Feng Zen!"
"Gongzi wrote to His Majesty, and he said: There is a person who has been ill for ten years and will be cured after treatment, but he is still so thin that only skin and bones remain. But now, if you want him to carry a stone of rice and travel a hundred miles a day, he will definitely not be able to do it. His Majesty also said that the rebellion of the princes lasted for 550 years! Your Majesty, as a good doctor in the world, raised troops to punish riots, Wang Xian subdued him, and the world was decided. Although the suffering of the people has been settled, the wealth and energy are used to help the imperial court to defeat the Xiongnu and Yueshi, which is not very fulfilling. At this time when the people are hungry and cold, they will be finished in heaven and earth? The retainers thought it was inappropriate, so it was better to stop the army and let the people recuperate for ten years, and then it would not be too late to practice Zen again......"
Heifu was stunned, this Fusu is really his own son, and he dares to speak out about everything that others dare not say!
Fusu is right, what is Feng Zen? Seal, refers to the construction of soil on Mount Tai as an altar to sacrifice to the heavens, in order to repay the merits of the sky. Zen refers to the sacrifice of the landlord in Liangfu Mountain next to Mount Tai to repay the merit of the land.
Therefore, Feng Zen is to sacrifice to heaven and earth, to tell heaven and earth their merits, Confucian scholars have always said, Feng Zen is since ancient times, ancient emperors such as Wu Huai, Fuxi, Shennong, Yan Emperor, Yellow Emperor, Yao, Shun, Yu and so on have held a ceremony to seal Zen, but after three generations, no one has done it.
Heifu has no culture, and it is not known whether this is true or false, but Qin Shi Huang apparently believed it. After the unification of the six countries, the emperor wanted to tour the east as early as three years ago, because the matter of the northwest, has been delayed until now, now the Huns, the Yue clan are broken, the great success has been completed, is about to proudly show off to the heaven and earth to show off their great merits, the ministers and Confucian scholars are boasting and holding, only the eldest son a basin of ice water splashed down, Qin Shi Huang can be happy?
The consequences naturally don't need to be guessed, Qin Shi Huang was angry, and he didn't want to take his eldest son, so he punished him for copying the law in the mansion, and he took his ministers and hundreds of officials to start this publicly-funded tour since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
After hearing this, Heifu only felt a toothache, although Fusu's words were to the point, but he was too upright and didn't turn around when he spoke, he really deserved not to please the emperor.
At this time, Yang Yu also skipped this topic and talked about the strange things that happened when the emperor was sacrificing Yishan in Zou County a few days ago.
"When His Majesty was holding a service on the mountain, the officials of his entourage heard the voice of the elephant shouting 'Long live' on the mountain at the bottom of the mountain. All the officials were surprised, and after His Majesty went down the mountain, he told him about it, and the princes and Confucian scholars who accompanied the sacrifice did not know, only Fang Shi Lu Ao said that this was probably an auspicious ...... caused by His Majesty's virtue"
When the emperor heard this, he exempted 300 local families from taxes, and named the small town in their residential area "Gaogaoyi" because they used the tax as the cost of the mountain sacrifice.
This matter is a little strange and unbelievable, coupled with the mixing of the magician, Heifu suddenly felt that it was not good, and said secretly:
"Qin Shi Huang is doing this, I'm afraid he will have a bad start, there will be something good at the top, and it will be very bad at the bottom, which is simply encouraging the ministers to use their imagination and offer a mess of auspicious rui to build momentum for Feng Chan!"
……
Hefu was able to witness the enshrinement, but he only knew the fur of these ancient rituals. Knowing is knowing is not knowing is not knowing, so before coming, he also humbly asked Jimo's "three county elders" Fuchubo to make up for the class.
Fu Chubo told him that the ancient etiquette of sealing Zen is unknown, and the most recent time was when Duke Qi Huan became the first overlord of the Spring and Autumn Period after the alliance of Kwai Qiu, and he wanted to seal Zen. Guan Zhong disagreed, he first stated a case of canonization of Zen since ancient times, and then pointed out that only the "ordained" monarch could be enshrined in Zen, hoping to dispel the idea of Qi Huangong.
However, Duke Huan thinks that his northern expedition to Shanrong, the western expedition to Daxia, and the southern expedition to Zhaoling, the princes of Jiuhe, one Kuang world, extraordinary achievements, even compared with the three generations, are not much different, this is naturally the embodiment of "the destiny of heaven is in me", so he insists on his own opinion.
Seeing this, Guan Zhong had no choice but to change his strategy and dissuade him again on the grounds that there was no magical auspicious such as the winged bird, flounder, and phoenix unicorn. In the end, Huan Gong listened to Guan Zhong's advice and did not carry out the Zen canonization......
And now it's the same, Qin Shi Huang's Feng Zen, everything is ready, only auspicious and auspicious.
The emperor is so auspicious, this is a tacit matter of the ministers, Qin Shi Huang unified the world as the emperor, Lu Ao and Hou Sheng lobbied him with the theory of yin and yang and five virtues: "The Yellow Emperor has the virtue, and the Yellow Dragon sees it." The Xia Dynasty has a wooden virtue, the green dragon stops at the suburbs, and the grass and trees are lush. The Yin Dynasty got Jinde, and the silver overflowed from the mountains. The Zhou Dynasty has the virtue of fire, and there is a red black charm. This is the five virtues that have always been. ”
"Now the Qin Dynasty replaces the Zhou Dynasty, according to the Five Virtues, it is the water virtue that is better than the fire virtue, when Qin Wengong went out hunting, he got a black dragon, this is the auspiciousness of the water virtue!"
This is to endorse the legitimacy of the empire, Qin Shi Huang thought so, so he changed the name of the Yellow River to "Deshui", with winter and October as the beginning of each year, the color advocates black, the scale is six, the sound advocates Da Lu, and the political affairs advocate decrees......
This is the influence of the Five Virtues and the Black Dragon Xiangrui on the governance of Qin Shi Huang.
Sure enough, as Heifu expected, when they passed through the layers of defense formed by the Lang Guards and entered the palace, the officials of Jibei and Xue counties were scrambling to present auspicious gifts to the emperor!
The county guard of Xue County said that when the emperor first entered Xue County, the farmers near Lucheng hunted a one-horned beast, and saw that its fur looked like a deer, that is, a roe deer. Xue Junshou thought that this was the unicorn that Confucius met before he died.
The Linzi county guard played other tricks, saying that on the mountains outside Linzi City, there were often hunters who heard strange birdsong, and asked the local magistrate, saying that it was very similar to the phoenix's song, and some people picked up the bright feathers of the phoenix.
Lin Feng Five Spirits, the King's Jiarui, these two things are considered to be auspicious.
The county guard of Jibei couldn't find the one-horned roe deer and the phoenix feather, so he simply took the six spikes that he found out of nowhere and offered them, saying that this was really a good thing brought by the creation of heaven and earth and the wind of the king.
And the county orders of Boyang and Zou County, even geese give birth to double eggs, willow trees grow in August, but anything that is a little unusual is taken out as auspicious offerings.
Heifu couldn't help but sigh, five years, just five years, when Qi Chu was destroyed, the Qin officials who were not respectful, respectful, and faithful had been immersed in the flower world of Kanto for several years, but they had become a group of sycophants.
Although he will also be flattered against his will, it is not to such a shameless extent.
It seems that it is not only Jiaodong, this is the atmosphere that permeates the empire from top to bottom now!
For a time, all kinds of strange auspicious rui competed for beauty, and the entire palace was made into a miasma, and those princes and officials from Xianyang had the precedent of Gongzi Fusu to dissuade Feng Chan from angering the emperor, and they all tacitly knew it, and no smart person stood up and pierced these inferior "auspicious rui".
In this way, Heifu passed through the courtyard of the palace, which was filled with the chirping of birds and beasts, like a zoo and an exhibition hall, and after more than half a year, he met Qin Shi Huang again.
The emperor was still high in the sky, dressed in the crown and riding the Xuan, but his face was covered by the curtain of 旒 (yǎn), without joy or anger, as if he was tired of these auspicious rui who were rushing to him, and had to accompany them to perform a play.
Seeing Heifu enter the hall and bow in front of him, the emperor only said lightly:
"Jiaodong County Guard is here? This Xue Jun captured the unicorn, Linzi appeared Fengming, Jibei out of the six ears of He, what auspicious Rui do you have in Jiaodong? ”
As soon as these words came out, in addition to Qin Shi Huang, Wang Ben, Wang Li, Li Si, Zhao Gao, and even Fang Shi Lu Ao and Hou Sheng all looked at Heifu, and they wanted to know how this feudal official who was praised by the emperor and said that "Heifu has never disappointed me", how he would answer.
Heifu bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent, and there is no natural auspiciousness in Jiaodong!" ”
"I have to say that it is different from previous years, that is, under the management of farmers, new high-yield vegetables have been grown, and the grain production has also increased slightly because of the promotion of compost and manure!"
After Heifu said that, Zhao Gao lowered his eyes, but he was laughing in his heart.
When the warlock Lu Ao heard this, there was a trace of doubt in his eyes.
"No auspiciousness? I know the ......" Qin Shi Huang's voice came, but people couldn't hear whether he was relieved or dissatisfied.
But at this time, Heifu raised his head and said loudly:
"However, Jiaodong has someone's auspiciousness!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall was surprised, and even the county guards who had dedicated their talents to Xiangrui looked at Heifu in surprise.
Qin Shi Huang also looked at Heifu again, but saw him smile and said:
"I heard that Your Majesty is coming, in Jiaodong Yeyi, there are tens of thousands of newly granted land Lu Zuo, hired farmers, Yongbao, this group of people from ancient times, who have never been ruled by the Great Qin, and have never felt anyone's despicable people, are actually singing praises for Your Majesty, long live your life! They said that Your Majesty is like the sun, the sun shines on Jiaodong and on them, it dispels the harsh winter, and allows them to have fields and houses, clothes and brown, Qianshou Kangding, and Lize for a long time! ”
"The minister heard it again, the sky sees itself as the people, and the sky listens to the people as it hears! Long live the people, long live the sky? “
Heifu bowed again: "This is the only auspicious Rui in Jiaodong!" ”
