Fengshan Ceremony (Part 1)
Chapter 1239:Fengshan Ceremony (Part 1)
Feng Zen canon finally began, according to the rules left by Emperor Hanwu, the first day on the father on the Liang father mountain sacrifice, and on the top of the mountain of Liang Father Mountain, a square altar has been built, surrounded by water, because according to the ancients' cognition, the earth is square, so the square altar also represents the earth.
Li Shimin from three days ago began to clear their hearts, and banned everything, every day with fragrant soup bath, early this morning, he put on the crown to wear to hold the ceremony, and then led the military officers to climb Liang Father Mountain, Li Hu and others are also a robe, looking at Li Shimin on the altar, and then began to worship the ceremony.
Although the whole ceremony is very solemn, but in fact very boring, the whole scene is Li Shimin's one-man play, Li Hu and others are at most also with the cooperation of the worship a few times, and the whole ceremony is very long, Li Hu was very interested in the beginning, but for a long time, and finally feel a little sleepy.
The whole ceremony lasted from morning until the end of the afternoon, Li Shimin on the stage maintained a high mood from beginning to end, after all, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, do not feel tired, but the stage of Li Hu and others are a little can not stand, especially after noon, everyone is tired and hungry, it is difficult to survive until the end of the ceremony, Li Hue they also feel like liberation.
After the ceremony, Li Shimin and the ministers rested for a while, when someone sent some simple food, and after eating something, Li Shimin immediately took people down the mountain with great interest, because according to the provisions of the ceremony, they must reach Taishan today, because tomorrow morning to hold the festival ceremony.
Li Hugh is in his prime, but also feel that this half-day tossing down is also tired of the death, but in order to cooperate with the big ceremony, he also had to go down the mountain with Li Shimin, fortunately, the officials of the Ministry of courtesy also have a conscience, even to prepare the carriage for the ministers, this is mainly because of the Li Shimin brought those founding heroes, many people are already tall, today has been tossing and light, if you ride again, I am afraid not to take a few steps from the horse.
Li Huo and his eldest grandson crowded into a carriage, and then hurried to Taishan, two hundred miles of distance said not far away, said not close, if placed in the afterlife, drive a car is an hour to arrive, but in this era of backward traffic, but in this era of backward traffic, but need to let the carriage run for half a day, so when Li Hue they arrived in Taishan, the sky has been dark.
When he got out of the carriage, Li Heu felt that his whole body was almost scattered, the place where the accommodation was ready for meals, and after eating a little, he immediately fell asleep in his bed, but the next day before dawn, Li Huo was woken up, because they were going to the top of Mount Tai before the time.
Although after a night's rest, Li Huo still felt a little sleepy, not to mention those who are already tall ministers, and Taishan can not drive, can only walk, although Taishan is not as steep as Huashan, but from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain there are thousands of stone steps, this road up, even a middle-aged person also spend about two hours.
But if you want to seal Zen, you naturally can't be afraid of suffering, not to mention in order to express the fear of heaven and earth, even Li Shimin will personally climb Mount Taishan, so Li Xiu these ministers are naturally no exception, one by one behind Li Shimin along the stone steps, although it is very dark, but there are guards on both sides of the street fighting torches, but do not have to worry about falling under the cliff.
Li Huo and the eldest grandson are relatively young among the ministers, so they have been walking in the forefront, but the age of the house next to them is not small, and the long-term case also makes their physical condition worrying, just climbed to the foot of the mountain, these ministers are gasping for breath one by one, and they will rest for a while.
Li Huo saw the appearance of the house, and now also reached out to help, reached out to help him climb the mountain together, which made the room Xuanling very grateful, but also a bitter smile said: "Thankfully, Brother Ke Ming did not come, otherwise with his physical condition, I am afraid that he will be tired of illness."
Ke Ming is Du Ruxiang's word, this time did not come to Taishan with Li Shimin, said Du Ruyi should have died long ago, thanks to Li Huo's reminder, this has been living to the present, but in recent years his physical condition is not optimistic, and even sometimes can not go up, so Li Shimin also specially allowed him to deal with official duties at home, with his physical condition, naturally can not come to Taishan, and Chang'an side also need to assist Li Chengjun, so Du Ruyu.
"Du Xiang's physical condition is also worrying, although this time did not come some regret, but after all, the body is important."Li Hue also said at the moment, he is actually very tired, but with the young, and usually has been to maintain exercise, so the physical quality is not bad, then can also support.
"Yes, in fact, Ke Ming's body has long been gone, I have been advising him to rest, but he is a person who is particularly stubborn, single-minded in the government who does not listen, fortunately in the past two years his attitude has been relaxed, the last time I visited him, he also said that when I wait until next year, he will resign to his majesty, so that he can rest for a few years."At this time, the house was also gasping for the thick air, and the white hair was flying around under the blowing of the mountain wind, and the eyes also showed a bit of sadness.
It is said that the age of the house is a few years older than Du Ruyu, this year he has been over 60 years old, and Du Ruxian is only more than 50 years old, but Du Ruxian's body is much worse than him, and the two people are also many years of acquaintances, and even the original is the age of the house to Li Shimin recommended Du Ruxian, the two people together to assist Li Shimin, and get the house to do the sad, but now Du Ruxian's body is too bad.
"The resignation is good, Du Xiang's physical condition is indeed not too laborious, and I heard Sun Dao chief say that Du Xiang's body can only be slowly recuperative, so when he resigned, it is better to live in Nanshan, Sun Dao's medicine is also there, when Sun Daochang can take care of Sun Dao, said but more years of adjustment, his body will slowly recover health."Li Huo heard the words of the house is also a nod, in fact, he also once persuaded Du Ruxi, let him take more rest and recuperation, but the other side did not listen to it.
Li Huo helped the house to walk and talk, the front of Li Shimin also found some old ministers lack of physical strength, so also ordered Shizi to help the minister mountain, and finally in a round of red sun jumped out of the eastern sky, their party finally climbed the top of the Taishan mountain, and the altar of the sacrifice also appeared in front of them.
