Chapter 880: Sacrifice to the Heavens

Cui Geng understands the political significance of "worshipping the southern suburbs" too well.

In ancient times, it was proclaimed that the emperor was "the true name of the Son of Heaven" and "acting on behalf of heaven", and the significance of the emperor's sacrifice to heaven could not be overstated.

Of course, in order to show respect for the heavens, this "heaven" is not sacrificed casually.

The highest level is "Feng Zen". It can only be held if the emperor thinks that his martial arts are enough to move the heavens and the earth. Otherwise, the sky will bring calamity.

At the beginning, Tang Gaozong Li Zhiping destroyed Goguryeo in Baekje, expanded the territory of the Tang Dynasty to an unprecedented extent, and once carried out Mount Tai Feng Zen.

The "first offering" of the original Zen was of course the emperor himself. Yaxian was supposed to be the crown prince or an important minister of the court, but in the end he was replaced by Wu Zetian.

Since then, Wu Zetian's political status has risen dramatically.

Since Empress Wei is sitting on the empress dream, of course, she also wants to follow the "successful experience" of Empress Zetian.

But unfortunately, Li Xian's martial arts are really poor, and it is impossible to sacrifice to the sky. Therefore, Empress Wei chose the second-class "worship the southern suburbs".

There is no doubt that as soon as this proposal came out, it will definitely set off an uproar in the DPRK ~ waves, and he is still on the cusp of the ceremony.

He said with a bitter face: "If Weichen is not mistaken, you not only have to worship the southern suburbs, but also serve as a "Yaxian", right?" ”

"Cui Shangshu is really smart, it is." Empress Wei stared at Cui Geng's eyes and said, "So, do you support it or not?" ”

"I ......"

Cui Geng is really difficult to answer, for many years, he has maintained a fighting and unbroken situation with Empress Wei.

If he resolutely refuses, he can completely tear his face with Empress Wei, not only will Empress Wei take revenge in the future, but the family will not be able to explain to Li Bao'er.

What can I do?

Eh, there is!

Cui Geng's mind was racing, he took a deep breath, and said, "The queen mother wants Weichen to support you?" ”

"That's nature."

"Well, in fact, Weichen thinks that if I support you in this matter, it will actually be your biggest loss."

"What do you mean?"

"For example, the imperial historian Xiao Zhizhong, he originally had a very good official reputation. However, since I took refuge in you, my reputation has plummeted, and no one listens to what I say, whether it is right or wrong. If Weichen helps you speak on the issue of "worshipping the southern suburbs", I am afraid that he will end up with the same fate as Xiao Zhizhong. ”

"Hmph, let's talk about it, you don't agree."

"That's not it, if the queen insists on the support of the minister, the minister will definitely receive the order. It's just that in that case, if you encounter something more important and need support urgently, I'm afraid Wechen won't be able to play its due role. In other words, good steel has to be used on the edge of the blade, you know? ”

"Bigger occasions?"

Wei Hou's heart moved, waved his hand, and said, "I hope Erlang, you remember what you said to the palace today, and retreat." ”

"Uh...... Be. ”

In fact, Cui Geng also thought of some rhetoric and was ready to elaborate on his "staying outside the party and being in the party". However, before the words could be spoken, Empress Wei let him go, and it really felt like a punch in the air.

As He Lou Aoqing walked out, Cui Geng was a little absent-minded until he was introduced into a secluded and uninhabited land.

He was surprised, "Huh? Where is this? We're on the wrong track, aren't we? ”

"Didn't go the wrong way, I deliberately led you here."

"Why?"

"Because ......"

Suddenly, He Lou Aoqing "poofed", knelt on the ground, and said, "Erlang, save me, save me!" ”

"What's wrong with you?" Cui Geng hurriedly clasped his hands and said strangely: "I helped me all the favors you asked me to help, who bullied you again?" ”

He Lou Aoqing took advantage of the situation, shook his head and said: "No one bullies the concubine, but now the queen is bent on dreaming of the emperor, I am afraid that sooner or later there will be an unforeseen disaster!" Erlang, you take me away, I'm not going to be a general anymore, stay by your side, and be a slave or a servant. ”

"That's ......"

Cui Geng secretly pondered that He Lou's arrogance was recorded in history, and he was really beheaded in the Tanglong coup. Her actions today are also wise. It's just that...... She didn't know Empress Wei's plan? Why is there no sense of urgency?

Cui Geng didn't know, He Lou had lived in the deep palace for a long time, and he didn't think about it so much because he took Empress Wei as the sky. Now as he went out, not only did he see more, but he also gradually sent a wisp of love to him, which was quite a bit of a bystander.

Besides, with such a statement, isn't there a fair and honest reason to stay by Cui Geng's side? Could it be that Cui Geng really let the dignified general be a slave?

Cui Geng was suspicious of He Lou Aoqing's words, and said: "This official can take you away, but the disappearance of the dignified general is too much to do." The time is not yet ripe......"

"And when can you take me away?"

Cui Geng looked into the distance, as if he had seen through the fog of history, and said: "Two years, two years later, this official will definitely take you away without any danger." ”

With a quasi-date, He Lou Aoqing lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to the eyes: "The concubine listens to Erlang." ”

In Cui Geng's thoughts, there are two years, which is enough to investigate whether He Lou Aoqing's actions today are sincere. As for the perfect opportunity to take anyone in the palace effortlessly after two years, this promise is not difficult to fulfill.

In He Lou Aoqing's thoughts, it was Cui Geng who gave him a lifelong commitment.

It has to be said that this is a very beautiful misunderstanding

However, Cui Geng's love field is proud, and the officialdom is not very proud. Not long after he walked out of the Lizheng Palace, a person came out from behind the screen, it was Dejing Wang Wu Sansi.

Wei Xiang'er said: "Did you listen to what you said just now?" What do you think of Cui Erlang? ”

Wu San thought for a moment and said, "There are good and bad. On the bad side, he's definitely not on the same page as us. But on the bright side, if you have everything in place, if you have to be the emperor, he will not resolutely oppose it. ”

"Do you want to continue to deal with him?"

"Yes, of course, it's not just that he doesn't have the same heart with us, the key is that he is in the way of our people."

"However, the top priority now is to worship the sky in the southern suburbs, and it is not appropriate to build more strong enemies, right?"

"I want to worship the sky in the southern suburbs!" Wu Sansi smiled gloomily and said, "Please, I promise, not only can you be a "sub-offering" when you worship the sky in the southern suburbs, but you can also use this matter to make Cui Erlang suffer a big loss!" ”

……

……

In the second year of Shenlong, Ding You, Zichen Palace, early dynasty.

Li Xian announced: "Since I ascended the throne, the world of my Tang Dynasty has been peaceful, and the Haiyan River is clear. In order to thank the heavens, I decided to sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs and sacrifice to the queen. ”

"That's how it should be, it's as it should be!" The new Guozi priest toasted Qin Mingma and expressed his position.

"You ......"

When Wei Yuanzhong heard this, a mouthful of old blood spurted out.

A few days ago, Li Xian announced that he had made a big mistake to let Zheng Pusi be the secretary and supervise the supervisor, and Ye Jingneng would be the wine for the country.

The facts are obvious, and before it happens, Zheng Pusi rebelled. Therefore, even with it, Ye Jingneng should not do the sacrificial wine of the country, and directly lead a third-grade official to retire.

Wei Yuanzhong and others were very happy, thinking that Li Xian had a long and wise man, and he had the atmosphere of a wise man, and shouted "My Emperor Shengming".

Later, Li Xian took Zhu Qinming as the new Guozi Supervisor Wine, and everyone was even happier.

Zhu Qinming is not only Li Xian's old team, but also a rare Ming Jing, Jinshi double subject and first in the Tang Dynasty, especially the "Three Rites", famous all over the world. It can be said that he is a standard Qingliu figure, and his promotion to the priest of the country is a great benefit to the Qing school.

However, he never expected that this Zhu Qinming would have taken refuge in Empress Wei earlier.

Where was Li Xian from the good before, and he got rid of the evil, obviously he felt that Ye Jingneng's combat effectiveness was too weak, and he changed to Zhu Qinming, who was rich in five cars!

Sure enough, I only listened to Zhu Qinming continue: "Hanshu Suburban Ritual Chronicles" cloud: "Heaven and earth are sacrificed, the ancestors are matched with the sky, and the ancestors are matched with the earth." Heaven and earth are combined, and husband and wife are united. The southern suburbs of the sacrifice are matched with the ground, and the righteousness of one is also. "Therefore, it is really natural and natural for Your Majesty to sacrifice to the sky in the southern suburbs and sacrifice to the queen!"

"Whew! I wish you shameless villain! ”

Dr. Taichang Tang Shao said angrily: "The queen's southern suburbs help the sacrifice, and the ceremony is not in line. As you said just now, it was a temple ceremony, not a heaven and earth ceremony. According to the historical books of Wei, Jin, Song and Qi, Liang, Zhou, Sui and other dynasties, there has never been a queen to help sacrifice in the suburbs, let alone be a sub-sacrifice. ”

Guozijian Siye Wuliang also helped, and said: "When worshipping the sky, only the ancestor is used to accompany the sacrifice, and the first grandmother is not deserved, so the queen should not participate in the sacrifice to the sky." ”

Zhu Qinming was not afraid of the reproaches of these two people, and said: ""Zhou Li" Dazong Bo Zhiyun: "Where there is a big sacrifice, the queen has no reason to predict, then take and recommend the bean hair, thoroughly." "You two see clearly, this side is written "Fan." What does "fan" mean? Don't you understand? The temple ceremony and the heaven and earth worship ceremony are all in it. You two, you really can't learn anything! ”

"Hehe, Zhu Qinming, it's you who really don't learn and don't know how to do it. What is the "Great Sacrifice"? "Zhou Li" has clouds: all worship the great gods, sacrifice the great gods, enjoy the big ghosts, handsome deacons and divination days, see the cleansing, the jade beard, the provincial animal wok, the jade fish, the edict ......"

……

In a short paragraph, Zhu Qinming quoted the scriptures, and the ministers fought hard to fight for it.

As for the results? There is no first, there is no second, and there is really no result in this matter. Anyway, ancient books are dead, people are alive, how to say it is reasonable.

Li Xian wanted this effect, and after they had been arguing for half an hour, he suddenly coughed lightly and said, "Since all Aiqing are arguing, then let the prime minister decide." Wei Aiqing, you say! ”

Wei Juyuan is a member of Empress Wei's clan, where will he help, do you still need to ask?

Wei Yuanzhong hurriedly said: "Weichen is also the prime minister, and he is the head of the prime minister, why don't you ask Weichen?" ”
