The centuries-old history of the founding of the Southern Qin Dynasty has always been the focus of research by various countries.One of the most controversial points is the founding day.

There are two widely circulated explanations for the idea of ​​founding a country on the winter solstice.

[-]. In the Zhou and Qin Dynasties, the winter moon was the leader, and the winter solstice was the first year to welcome the new year.Therefore, Southern Qin, which inherited the Qin system, chose the winter solstice as its founding day and established a new calendar on this day.

Second, the Wei family was the royal family in the Southern Qin Dynasty, and the birthday of its ancestor Wei Ying was the winter solstice.So choose this day as the founding day.However, the archaeological community has not yet concluded the identity of the founding monarch of the Southern Qin Dynasty.Although the folks believed that the founding king was the incarnation of Concubine Mei, some also believed that this choice concerning the fate of the Wei family came from Jia Mei or Wei Ying.It is even said that all of this was done by the youngest daughter, Wei Ling.However, the relationship between the founding king and the Wei family is certain, so choosing Weiying's birthday as the founding day may make sense.

However, one of the biggest reasons why Wei Qian chose the winter solstice was that she could leave the palace in real life on this day.

After the Qin and Han dynasties, the winter solstice has always been a major festival that the court attaches great importance to.

The emperor will lead civil and military officials to personally perform the "winter solstice outskirts" sacrifice, offering sacrifices to Haotian and the five gods.In the palace, the queen will lead the concubines to worship the ancestors and carry out the winter solstice ceremony.

The winter solstice is second only to the New Year and other festivals among the annual festivals.

"The empress is seriously ill, and the empress dowager ordered the noble concubine, concubine Shu, and concubine De to be in charge of the palace affairs, and worship the ancestors to welcome the new year."

There is no emperor in the palace, and the Supreme Emperor is quietly cultivating again.Taking advantage of the busy crowd at the ceremony, Wei Qian asked Hong Chun to pretend to be herself and put on makeup to perform the sacrifice.But she rushed to the outskirts in real body, joined Ling Wan and others and hurried to Tianyuan Island.

The yellow bell and drum were played on Tianyuan Island, colorful flags were fluttering, and the small imperial court, which had just taken shape, and the islanders gathered before Wahuang Peak descended to the Temple of Heaven.

Although the sparrow is small and complete, there are Tiandi Altar and Five Emperors Altar under the Wahuang Peak, which are used to worship Haotian and declare the legitimacy of Southern Qin Dynasty.

Wei Qian changed into a men's dragon robe and led the ten ministers to pay homage to heaven.

At the same time, Situ Yun is also leading civil and military officials to sacrifice to Haotian.

At the same time, Situ Yun and Wei Qian recited prayers, offered three sacrifices at the same time, and then sacrificed with Liurui ritual vessels.

Cang is the color of the sky, so I salute the sky with Cangbi.Yellow is the color of the earth, so Huang Cong is used to honor the earth.Green is the color of east wood, so green jade is used to honor the east.Red is the color of fire in the south, so red Zhang is used to salute the south.White is the golden color of the west, so white amber is used to salute the west.Xuanzhe is black, and the color of the water in the north, so Xuanhuang is used to honor the north.

The Liurui sacrificial vessel was prepared by Jia Mei with the help of Zhang Luo, and sent to Tianyuan Island to deceive others.

Wei Qian took the six vessels to offer sacrifices, and Situ Yun placed them one by one himself. The words and deeds of the two were almost exactly the same, and they began to sacrifice to Haotian at the two temples.

But Wei Qian has an extra process here.After offering sacrifices to Haotian, he held up a jade seal.This jade seal is four inches in diameter, with five divine dragons in Shanghai.Five dragons surround a dragon ball carved from broken jade, and a red dragon looms inside.

This broken jade is the corner of the Jade Seal of Chuanguo, in which the red dragon luck gathers the islanders of the three islands and the soul of the Yanhuang dragon.

Wei Qian muttered the sacrificial oration silently in her heart, put the jade seal on the round platform, and kowtowed nine times to Tiansan: "I respectfully invite Haotian to give me an order!"

Wu, offering sacrifices to heaven and earth.The so-called immortality is derived from witches, so Wei Qian has long learned this kind of magic that communicates with the world.Just never had the chance to use it.

It was Wei Qian's early ambition to offer sacrifices to Haotian himself.But when things came to an end, Wei Qian felt uneasy, fearing that the sacrifice to heaven would fail, and Jianguo would not be destined for heaven.

The courtiers below were equally apprehensive, if Wei Qian's sacrifice to heaven was successful, then they could justifiably assist Wei Qian.No, currently Wei Qian uses the pseudonym "Wei Yun" to show herself as a man.Except for Jia Mei, Lishan Nvxiu and Liu Shilian, no one else knew about it.

However, Wei Qian deliberately neutralized the three female ministers among the current ten ministers.

One is Gu Zhenzhen, who manages the civil engineering industry and is in charge of all kinds of scientific research and technology.Although Zhang Kai and Zhang Kai discriminated against each other, other people on the island are already used to Gu Zhenzhen's management.

This woman, Pan, vowed not to marry in this life, and devoted herself to carrying forward the various techniques inherited by the Mohists in Southern Qin.Smelters, shipyards, textile mills, lumber mills, weapons factories and other facilities were all founded by her.

The popularity is there, and it will be difficult for her to convince the public if she does not enter the top management.

Liu Shilian entered the management as the emperor's adviser and minister, and managed the education aspect.Zhang Kai is in charge of managing Mishima's daily affairs and is in charge of etiquette.Yan Bing and the other two are responsible for training recruits and defending the island.Compared with the novices like Wei Qian and the island stewards, these three managed more affairs in the court.

After a small test, the three of them were convinced by everyone.Moreover, Wei Qian added a mythical color to Zhang Kai and the two.It is said that in the dream, he received the grace of Li Xian, and there was a big wind and a flying bear in the dream.These are all stories that are talked about in ancient Chinese mythology.Liu Shilian told the students earlier.

Hearing that the two have the talents of the Empress Feng and the Taigong, where is there any objection?

The remaining four are in charge of agriculture and animal husbandry; weaving and cloth; internal affairs of the island owner's mansion, as well as business and navigation.

At present, the core management of the island owner's mansion are these ten people. Among them, women are in charge of the internal affairs of the island owner's mansion, and those in charge of weaving and cloth are also women, plus Gu Zhenzhen.Three of the ten people occupied, which laid a solid foundation for women to participate in the Southern Qin Dynasty later.

It doesn't matter that there are fewer people in Nanqin, China abandons women at home, but Nanqin can treat them equally, because Nanqin's innate foundation determines that they need manpower.Regardless of gender, as long as you have talent, you can take office.

Everyone watched Wei Qian's actions with concern, and the female cultivators in Lishan who were secretly watching were also nervous.

Ling Lan only learned of Wei Qian's overall layout a few days ago, and she had a new outlook on the future of the Lishan School while admiring it.

If Wei Qian establishes a country overseas, the Lishan Sect can be regarded as the state religion!

"It doesn't matter, when Shenzhou sacrifices to the sky, the power of Haotian will definitely be triggered, and the two parties will proceed simultaneously, and the Qi of Haotian will sense Xuanning's prayer."

Haotian is the supreme god that China has always worshiped.It is the incarnation of the way of heaven, without the existence of personality.What is the Taoist Jade Emperor and the 33-day Buddhist Emperor Shitian? In the eyes of Confucianism, they are not serious emperors of heaven at all, only Haotian Supreme.

Therefore, Wei Qian established the name of the Jade Emperor in the Song Dynasty in his previous life, and regarded the Jade Emperor as the incarnation of Haotian.In this way, Taoism was drawn in, and by the way, the orthodoxy of the Song Dynasty was increased.But even though the Song Dynasty respected Taoism, it was still the emperor's right to sacrifice to Haotian. Taoism could sacrifice to the Jade Emperor, but there was absolutely no one who worshiped Haotian.

In the void, the vitality of five colors is billowing, accompanied by the sacrifice below in the dark, there is vitality flowing down.

Shenzhou is vast, with a lot of vitality, Longting's luck is soaring, and the five-color Haotian weather is endless, suppressing the mountains and rivers.

And Wei Qian hitched a ride to sacrifice to the sky, and only snatched a ray of vitality from the billowing Haotian vitality.But this small ray of vitality is enough to sublimate Yuxi and establish the kingdom.

The air is full of light, and the five-colored sky slowly descends, and finally lands on the jade seal, constantly changing.

The front of the jade seal was originally a white board, but with the blessing of Haotian Qi, the eight seal characters of "Cherish Hao's destiny, Southern Qin orthodoxy" slowly emerged.

Wei Qian was overjoyed, holding the big seal in her hand and showing it to everyone: "In the name of Haotian, I am the emperor of Southern Qin, and I will teach and enlighten one side on behalf of heaven."

Liu Shilian and others saluted, and then the common people shouted long live and bowed down one after another.

Accompanied by the shouts of the crowd, the power of the people came together, and the red snake jumped up from Wei Qian's body, and combined with the power of the people, it slowly turned into a khaki dragon.

Wei Qian established the country with soil virtues, and the dragon spirit of Guozuo is naturally Huanglong.The little dragon had four legs and three claws, and the horns on the top of its head had just formed. After absorbing Wei Qian's own luck, he let out a cheer and flew over the island lord's mansion to evolve into a sea of ​​clouds in the Dragon Court.

The golden clouds gather auspicious auras of morality, holiness, and merit. The little dragon churned in the sea of ​​clouds, gradually raising a pillar of heaven.This pillar leads to Haotian, symbolizing the foundation of the country.

"Tianzhu is completed, the destiny is manifested, and there may be a day in the future to occupy Nanyang." The world of the nether world, the dragon palace of the ghost country, and Emperor Gaozu stared overseas coldly.

"I thought she would take the initiative to share the luck of Shenzhou and establish the dynasty with fire virtue. I didn't expect it to be Tude?"

If Wei Qian foolishly used Situ Jiangshan's Huo De luck to establish a dynasty, there must be karma owed in the future.Emperor Gaozu would be able to take the opportunity to let the Situ family seize the luck of the Southern Qin Dynasty, and at worst, turn the Southern Qin Dynasty into a vassal state of the Situ family.

"This girl is not stupid. She took the initiative to transform her fire virtue into earth virtue. Not only did she obey her incarnation, but she was also taken care of by the goddess of the earth."

The temple at the top of Wahuang Peak casts five-color skylights to help Wei Qian suppress and stabilize the luck of the Southern Qin Dynasty.With Emperor Wa's care, Emperor Gaozu did not dare to attack Nanqin head-on.

"But the future is long, let's take it slowly."

Emperor Gaozu knew that Situ Jiangshan was only two or three hundred years old, and after the Dragon Court declined and the new dynasty came to power, his lineage would inevitably be destroyed.Every Emperor Gaozu had his own arrangements for this.The previous dynasty planned to borrow chickens to lay eggs and mix their own blood into Situ's family, so as to steal the luck of the new dynasty.

Now Emperor Gaozu is smarter, while promoting Wei Qian to establish a country overseas, he is preparing to pick the final fruit.There are two dynasties' luck subsidies, which can keep Longting alive for at least 500 years.At that time, Emperor Gaozu may be further ranked among the immortals.

"Come here, send the things sent by the ancestors in Yangjian to Wei Bo and the three princes of the Jia family."

After the concubines worshiped their ancestors, the incense was turned into various fruits, jade, fragrant wood, and brocade in the underworld.

It is also a hint that Emperor Gaozu sent people to the Yin Mansions of Jia's Mansion and Wei Mansion to show the difference between the monarch and his ministers.

Jia's private residence is not far from the imperial palace, and each of the three princes is entitled to a sacrificial offering.

After receiving the decree, Jia Yuan's expression changed drastically, his eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and he said to his brother beside him: "Brother, how do you think my Jia family should stand in line?"

The meaning of Emperor Gaozu is obvious.You are the ministers of the Situ family, Wei Qian is your descendant of Jia Wei, the kingdom she established is naturally the vassal state of the Situ family.

Jia Yan sighed and said: "Back then, I was entrusted by the ancestor Gaozu of the previous dynasty to help protect the princess of the previous dynasty. This matter was originally committed by His Majesty. If we hadn't made meritorious service in the early years, I am afraid that I would have been killed. Now the female Wei family is overseas. To establish a country, His Majesty will naturally beat us, lest we establish another Dragon Court in the future."

"Then let's go to thank you? But if His Majesty asks us to attack Wei Qian in the future, what should we do?"

When Jia Daishan heard what his father said, he looked nervously at his uncle.

Uncle smiled, "We are just cousins, and our ancestors haven't spoken yet, so what are we worrying about?"

Jia Yan straightened his clothes and straightened his crown: "The two of you follow me to thank you. As for other things, do we know?"

That's right, Wei Qian is from the Wei family, and the pursuit of the emperor in the future must start with the ancestors of the Wei family.What has it to do with them?

They only need to be good servants of Situ's family, and take care of Wei Qian secretly by the way, Wei Qian will naturally accept their favor in the future.Help the Jia family to continue.

There are no thousand-year-old dynasties in the world, but there are thousand-year-old families.

This is what Jia Yan and Jia Yuan are thinking about.What they want is a family that can stand tall and survive the wars of the dynasty.But now, when the power of the Jia family is insufficient, it is necessary to hide the minions to respectfully serve the emperor Gaozu in the underworld.

However, a hidden worry flashed in Jia Daishan's heart: If Wei Yan foolishly accepts this gift and sets the title of monarch and minister with the Situ family, the future Situ family will inevitably share the fate of the Southern Qin Dynasty.

The chariots and horses of Longting slowly drove towards the Yin Mansion of Wei Mansion, and all this was seen by another great god of You Ming.

Wearing a black crown and a black robe, Ming Jun said to the judge beside him: "People from the Situ family go to your house to offer rewards. You bring a few descendants of your family to me and say that I invite you to tea."

The ancestor of the Wei family was an official at Mingjun's office, and immediately went to summon Wei Yan and others as soon as he heard what he said.

When the angel came to Wei's house, Wei Yan and others took a step ahead and followed their grandfather to Fengdu Imperial Palace.

In desperation, the angel had no choice but to come back and report to Emperor Gaozu.

Emperor Gaozu was silent for a while, and then said to the left and right: "The Wei family is not a pure minister, so you can't trust it in the future." After a pause, he said: "But after all, he has made contributions to the country, and the gifts are distributed as usual."

The founding ministers below stood in a row, each of them understood what was going on, but praised His Majesty's kindness in their mouths.

The three princes of the Jia family were sweating coldly, knowing that Emperor Gaozu was jealous of the Lord of the Netherworld Fengdu, so he didn't dare to liquidate the Wei family too much.

In the world of Fengdu, Judge Wei immediately understood when he saw the sky pillar rising from Nanqin, and hurriedly brought his son and grandson to salute Mingjun: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness in saving me."

"I'm also thinking about myself, you don't have to." Mingjun helped the three of them up, looked at the Dragon Court of the Ghost Country not far away and the fragment of the ruined wall in front of him, and said: "I have ruled the Netherworld for countless years. The power to rule the country is handed over to the founding emperors, but there is only one Lord of the Underworld."

The three of Wei Yan felt awe-inspiring.Yes, there are countless generations of ghost kingdoms in the underworld, but there is still a Nether Emperor.

"I'm used to the vicissitudes of life, and the kings of the past dynasties frequently resorted to tricks. They just want to win a dragon court for a long time. But their ghost country has been around for a long time, what is the emperor doing?"

Every emperor who opened the dynasty has the status of an earth immortal, which is bestowed by the Nether Emperor's splitting of his own authority.The founding emperor was ordered by him to govern Nether, among which the merits and virtues were divided into two points, and the emperor Youming got a share by virtue of his famous utensils.And the karma is all attributed to the ancestor of Longting in the ghost country.

Therefore, the holy emperor hangs down and rules, and only the holy man is respected.

The Son of Nether accumulated merit, but did not bear karma. This is the foundation of his immortality in constantly governing Fengdu.In this regard, none of the founding emperors was as good as him.

Now that he is helping the Weifu, the Emperor Youming is not in vain, his eyes are on overseas ghosts.

If Nanqin prospers overseas, there will be one more ghost country under his rule, and the entire Nether world will grow stronger, and his authority and power will expand accordingly. This is what Mingjun wants.

"Wei Ping, you have been with me for many years, let's go to Southern Qin in the future."

Wei Juan was delighted in his heart, and expressed a little gratitude on his face: "Without the grace of His Majesty's rebuilding, our Wei family would never be as good as it is today. In the future, I would like to do my best by Your Majesty's side."

"As for the governance of Southern Qin, please send someone to take over from His Majesty."

Seeing Judge Wei's way of speaking, Ming Jun smiled: "Forget it, you stay with me, as for Nan Qin, let your grandson go."

Surprised, Wei Yan hurriedly saluted Mingjun.

"You are the biological father of the Lord of Nanqin. As long as you don't directly respect Emperor Gaozu as the king, then Nanqin will not have to worry about luck being taken away by the Situ family in the future." Lord Ming instructed Wei Yan, and handed over a sea chart to Wei Yan. Yan: "This is the map of that new continent. You will give it to the Lord of Nanqin later. I am willing to help her, and I only ask for the power of the underworld."

In that new continent, there is a god who symbolizes the underworld, which is the goal of the king of the underworld.

Wei Yan took the order, Ming Jun thought about it again, and said to the three of them: "Now we are connected with your family, and it is so easy to ask for the authority of the Nether, and people will say that I bully you." With a wave of his hand, a dark red profound energy Submerged into the world, into the body of Weiying who was studying in Wei's house.

"I will help you take care of the world, and the Wei family will have at least a hundred years of luck."

Mingjun stepped forward to protect Weiying, and Weiying had a bright future ahead. Even if Emperor Gaozu wanted to reject Wei's family, he would not dare to be presumptuous in front of Mingjun.

The matter was a foregone conclusion, and the three members of the Wei family took their leave after thanking Mingjun.

Wei Yan went to Southern Qin Dynasty, when Wei Qian returned to Daming Palace in real body, only incarnate in human form and displayed in front of everyone.When father and daughter meet, Wei Yan tells about the affairs of the underworld.

Wei Qian understood: "Although I am the goddess of the earth, I have no intention of occupying all the priesthood. Since Lord Ming asks for the power of the underworld, let him do it. But this Nanqin ghost country, I still hope that my father will manage it himself."

Now that Southern Qin has just been established, it cannot be directly pursued, so Wei Yan can only temporarily manage it in the face of ghosts and gods.In the future, when Southern Qin really prospers, he can be given the title of Emperor.

Things are gradually getting on the right track, looking at the busy people on Sanyuan Island, and looking at Wei Yan who is building a ghost country underground.Wei Qian held the map and looked further south.

There, in addition to a god of the underworld desired by the king of the underworld, there are also gods with the power of the earth.
