Condescending and Condescending

It is said that after Pangu opened up the world, his head turned into Mount Tai, so Mount Tai is considered by Confucianism and Taoism to be the place closest to heaven.

Therefore, there is a saying in "Historical Records Fengchan Shu" that "the emperor has been appointed since ancient times, why not enshrine Zen".

But not all emperors are eligible to enshrine Zen. Generally speaking, it must be the founding emperor and the king of the prosperous age. Since the Shang Dynasty, there have been only five emperors in this world who have actually held the Zen Conferring Ceremony on Mount Tai. Qin Shihuang Yingzheng, Han Dynasty Emperor Wu Liu Che, Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Wu Zetian, it is conceivable how much the meaning of enshrining Zen on Mount Tai represents.

So all civil and military officials immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

After all, Emperor Cheng'an was obviously not qualified to enshrine Zen in Mount Tai.

After all, Qin Shihuang unified the world, Emperor Wudi of Han pacified the Xiongnu, and created the Silk Road... What did Emperor Cheng'an do to be forced to retreat to the harem by powerful officials?Addicted to monasticism?Once a year?Created the violent punishment of the ten clans?

Even if the imperial court has pacified Xiao Dang, Yongwang and Tuhun, isn't that all the credit of Zhen Guogong and Fuguo Gong Li Qingyu?

But they didn't dare to directly say that the emperor was not qualified enough, for fear that the emperor would become angry and vent his anger with their heads.

And at the moment, Lord Zhen is not here...

So that for a while, the court was directly plunged into silence.

Fang Yanqin smiled.

So Li Qingyu is impatient!

That's right, after all, Lord Zhen Guo is about to die, but now he is powerful. If he doesn't strike while the iron is hot, he will be sorry for the favorable time and place.

But it happened that he was also a little annoyed.

So he happily said: "Okay, Li Qing really knows my heart very well."

"In that case, where is Qin Tianjian?"

The Qintian Supervisor at the back immediately went out to pay respects and said: "My minister is here."

Fang Yanqin said with a smile: "Be sure to pick an auspicious day, and I will go to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen together with all civil and military officials."

Qin Tianjian inspected: "Yes."

"Congratulations, long live!"

Li Qingyu also laughed.

He knew that the emperor could not refuse this temptation.

Knowing the emperor's plan, Duke Zhen, who was ill, couldn't sit still anymore. He forced his sick body into the palace, trying to persuade the emperor to dispel this idea, so as not to become the laughing stock of future generations.

However, Fang Yanqin had been prepared for a long time, he quickly helped the Duke of Zhen up, and only said: "I know what the Duke wants to say, but the Duke will let me fulfill my wish, I promise, after the Zen is sealed, I will Don’t study any Taoism any more.”

Hearing this, Lord Zhen's eyes lit up, he couldn't care less about exhorting him, he was very excited: "Long live, are you serious?"

Fang Yanqin: "I am the Son of Heaven, so I can speak my mind."

"it is good."

Duke Zhen gritted his teeth and said.

As long as the emperor can correct his evil and return to righteousness because of this, it is nothing to lose face.

With the support of Lord Zhen Guo, the progress of Feng Chan could not have been smoother.

And obviously today is a bad year, which means that the year will not be very good, but Qin Tianjian picked out more than a dozen auspicious days in a row.

And Fang Yanqin naturally did as Li Qingyu wished, and finalized the earliest date of the fifteenth of next month.

Five days later, Yujia set off for Shandong in a mighty way.

Of course, in addition to civil and military officials, concubine Xiao Gui and Fang Yanqin's titular eldest prince also went to Shandong together.

Also because Zhen Guogong is seriously ill in bed now, the person in charge of presiding over the Fengchan ceremony became Li Qingyu.

It was a rare trip, and Fang Yanqin was in a good mood, so he simply took this opportunity and took Qu Xiumo to visit all the places of interest along the way.

Even the itinerary with the team slowed down, and when Yu Jia arrived at Tai'an Mansion, there were less than two days left before the grand ceremony.

After sending away the last batch of local officials who had come to see him, Fang Yanqin took a sip of the tea cup offered by Zheng Cong.

Then I heard Zheng Cong say: "Long live, Director Lu has brought people to inspect the altar."

It was actually supposed to be his job, but yesterday it was 'robbed' by the chief eunuch with the despicable excuse that he had a relative in Tai'an Mansion, so he wanted to find time to meet him.

Dialect Qin paused: "I didn't expect him to end up on this road."

In any case, the chief eunuch also served Emperor Cheng'an for more than 20 years. Originally, Fang Yanqin planned to release him from the palace to retire.

Zheng Cong: "It's also my servant's fault..."

In fact, it’s not a big deal, but the son of the chief eunuch forced the girl he had a crush on and then killed her. He went to the chief eunuch to ask for justice, but he forced him to drink a lot of footwashing water... ...So a month ago, he caught a handle on the chief eunuch's godson, beat him to death, and went to show off his power in front of the chief eunuch.

The chief eunuch hated him in his heart, and the emperor valued him more and more, so in a fit of anger, he got involved with Li Qingyu.

——Although Zheng Cong still couldn't figure out why the emperor was still unprepared even though he knew Li Qingyu's wolf ambitions, but he knew that the emperor was definitely not a fool, so when Li Qingyu tried to win him over, he He refused without hesitation.

Fang Yanqin only said: "It seems that he didn't have this life."

Then he put down the teacup in his hand: "Rest in peace."

After all, there is still a good show to watch tomorrow.

As for Qu Xiumo, he went to take care of Duke Zhen.

I just don't know why, but Duke Zhen hasn't been able to fall asleep.

Because he suddenly felt uneasy.

Obviously now that the frontier has been set, the Xiao Party and the Yongwang Party have also been put to death, and the emperor has shown signs of getting lost, even if he doesn't live long, isn't there still Li Qingyu? Compared to him, Li Qingyu is definitely a It is blue out of blue.

It can be said that Dayang Dynasty is now thriving.

So he should feel relieved, why would he feel uneasy instead?

But he couldn't figure out why he felt uneasy.

So Duke Zhen couldn't help but let go of his thoughts. For a while, he thought of the scene of being forced to vomit blood by Xiao Shoufu and Yong Wang, and for a while he thought of the rumors that Li Qingyu spread when he was in the northern border...

Soon came the day of the Fengchan Grand Ceremony.

Before dawn, the emperor led all the civil and military officials and guards of honor, and Concubine Xiao led the wives, starting from Tai'an Fucheng to Mount Tai, and the accompanying car traveled for dozens of miles.

It's a pity that due to time constraints, there were not many envoys from the vassal states, only five small countries such as Korea and Ryukyu.

At that time, civil and military officials, celebrities and common people gathered under Mount Tai. The emperor first worshiped the sky at the foot of the mountain, and then led the civil and military officials to the top of Mount Tai.

A [-]-meter-long, [-]-meter-high altar has already been arranged on the top of Mount Tai.

I saw Fang Yanqin boarded the altar alone, after the big ceremony, unfolded the sacrificial oration in his hand, and began to chant: "I am sincere and fearful, and I will tell the God of the sky and the gods of the four directions: since I came to the throne..."①

The civil and military officials all bowed and stood under the altar.

Of course, except for Duke Zhen, the emperor specially prepared a soft sedan chair for him.

If he can do this as a courtier, he will have no regrets in his life.

Thinking of this, Duke Zhen couldn't help laughing.

At this time, the corner of his eye fell on the officers and soldiers guarding all directions.

Then the smile on his face froze suddenly.

Because he found that the officers and soldiers around him looked very unfamiliar, and their clothes were not the standard of the imperial army, and look at the long guns they held in their hands...

"Shandong prepares the Japanese army?"

On such an occasion, it is absolutely impossible for the Shandong Beiwa Army to play.

Zhen Guogong suddenly felt uneasy in his heart, and this uneasiness gradually coincided with the uneasiness of last night.

So he suddenly turned his head to look at the team of military officers behind him, only to realize that all his subordinates had disappeared at some point, replaced by familiar faces, because they were all under Li Qingyu's subordinates.

Thinking of the rumors that spread when Li Qingyu was in the northern border, Duke Zhen's eyes turned red instantly.

"Long live--"

He cried out, trying to stand up, but he couldn't use his legs at all, so that he fell directly to the ground and smashed his head.

At the same time, looking at the emperor on the altar, Concubine Xiao Gui trembled with excitement.

Father, brother, I will avenge you soon.

And Li Qingyu was equally excited.

He finally waited for this day!

The emperor certainly didn't know that there were more than a dozen catties of gunpowder buried in the altar under his feet, waiting for him to send him back to the west after he finished reading the sacrificial oration.

At that time, people all over the world will know that the faint king was so rejoicing in doing things against the law, so he was punished by heaven.

And he has experienced Qingyu, expelled Japanese pirates in the east, and rejected Tuhun in the north, with outstanding achievements, he is the best candidate for the new emperor.

Thinking of this, Li Qingyu's eyes also turned red.

Only he was excited.

Because the emperor's sacrificial oration was almost finished.

"...In order to repay the blessings of God and the gods, the ministers hereby hold a ceremony to enshrine Zen, present various gifts, and beg God to share with the gods!"①

coming!

Li Qingyu suddenly clenched his hands tightly, staring fixedly at the sky above the altar.

Sure enough, in the next second, there was only a thunderbolt in the clear sky——

Then nothing happened.

Li Qingyu: "..."

Not only him, but even the faces of his subordinates changed.

Did something happen?

But before they could react, a burst of exclamation suddenly sounded in their ears: "What is that?"

Li Qingyu looked up, and saw that the sky was suddenly glowing

On the altar, Fang Yanqin put away the sacrificial text, looked up at Yunxia above, and completely let go of his spiritual consciousness.

In the next second, all the clouds in the sky turned into phoenixes and cranes, making fairy sounds, and immediately after, a dazzling golden light came out from the east and shot directly at Fang Yanqin.

Then, under the gaze of everyone, Fang Yanqin lifted his feet off the ground and floated into the air along the golden light.

"Long live--"

Many dumbfounded officials immediately knelt down and shouted:

"Long live, this is a fairy!"

Li Qingyu's breath was stagnant.

"On May 27th of the [-]th year of Cheng'an, after the emperor passed the ceremony of enshrining Zen in Mount Tai, Xiaju ascended to the sky!"
