Soon, confirmation came back from the Western Regions. After all, it inherited Taoyao's appearance and naturally conformed to the aesthetics of the Western Regions.
But when the portrait was finally confirmed and submitted to the First Emperor, the First Emperor was also surprised.
"It looks a bit familiar!" Ying Zheng looked at the portrait and then handed it to Jin Yao.
Jin Yao was stunned when he looked at the portrait. If he and Tao Yao had a child, they should look like this!
"They couldn't just take Tao Yao and I and deduce our child's appearance as the prince Changqin!" Jin Yao suddenly realized in hindsight.
There are no such coincidences in this world!
Ying Zheng nodded. He didn't care where the portrait came from. The key was that he was satisfied. The people of China recognized it and the people of the Western Regions also recognized it. That was enough!
"Aren't you afraid that if Fangcheng comes back and Taoyao really has a child, the consequences..." Jin Yao looked at everyone speechlessly.
Once Fang Cheng returns and Taoyao has a child, wouldn't it mean that she will become a god inexplicably?
Wherever you go, in China and the Western Regions, you will think that your ancestors have appeared!
This child also enjoys the incense offered by thousands of families without doing anything!
"A living god can sometimes be more useful than a deceased ancestor!" Ying Zheng said with a smile.
The Hu religion believed in in the Western Regions, Allah, seems a bit weird to China. If the "Prince Changqin" really appears, Xianyang will not mind really "creating gods"!
In the face of the invisible Blessed One and Allah and the living ancestors, everyone knows who to believe!
Especially the identity of "Prince Changqin" can also bring a lot of visible support from Great Qin to the Western Regions!
Jin Yao also thought about this. Doctrinal conflicts are sometimes more serious than ethnic conflicts. Just look at Jerusalem, the holy land of the three religions.
That's a beating that really knocks a dog's brain out!
But everything must be based on the premise that Fang Cheng can return, otherwise everything will be in vain.
The Taimiao Order, Fengchang Temple and Confucianism joined forces and also came up with etiquette regulations.
The entire return ceremony uses the auspicious ceremony among the five rites, and the music and dance also uses "Daxian" among the six music. The dancers also choose the highest standard of the emperor "Eight Hundreds" to worship the five emperors, humans and ghosts, ancestors, and ancestors.
"Auspicious rituals are used to worship the gods of heaven, Haotian God, earth gods, humans and ghosts, sun, moon and stars, Sizhong, Siming, Rain Master, Sheji, Five Emperors, Five Mountains, ancestors, ancestors, etc., and what we choose is also the sacrifice in the auspicious rituals.
The ceremony of the Five Emperors, after all, the God of Fire Zhurong is also the descendant of Emperor Zhuanxu, so the ceremony chosen is the ceremony of worshiping the Five Emperors!" The Taimiao Order explained the specifications and reasons for the ceremony they chose this time.
Ying Zheng and Jin Yao nodded. They both knew that etiquette was very important, but they didn't expect that it could be broken down into so many types.
"Among the six kinds of music, the "Yunmen Dajuan" is used to worship the gods, the "Daxian" is used to worship the earthly gods, the "Da Shao" is used to worship the five mountains, the four directions, the sun, the moon and the stars, and the "Daxia" is used to worship the gods.
Mountains and rivers, "Da Yi" is used to worship Jiang Yuan, the ancestor of the Zhou Dynasty, and "Da Wu" is used to worship the ancestors of the Zhou Dynasty."
"Therefore, the latter two are not under consideration!" Taimiao Ling continued to explain.
Both Dayi and Dawu were offered sacrifices to the ancestors of the Zhou family, and obviously could not appear in Qin's etiquette.
"The most important thing is that the first four are all literary dances, and the last two are martial arts. Therefore, the most suitable music and dance for the return ceremony is "Daxian"!"
Following the explanation of the Taimiao Order, Ying Zheng and Jin Yao no longer had any objections. After all, they didn't know much about etiquette. The explanation of the Taimiao Order was reasonable and reasonable, and they naturally followed the plan of the Taimiao Order.
"Where's the safety?" Jin Yao turned to look at Wang Jian.
"Before and after the return ceremony, General Mo will personally command 5,000 armor-piercing soldiers to patrol the capital and be responsible for the security work. There will never be any accidents!" Wang Jian also said seriously.
The Return Ceremony is a ceremony that the entire empire attaches great importance to. It is almost as important as the Unification Ceremony in which the First Emperor ascended the throne and became emperor. Naturally, there will be no omissions.
Even in the smelly ditches in Xianyang, people have to dig deep to see if there are any assassins or people with evil intentions hidden there. Any rat that dares to peek will be shot by hundreds of armor-piercing soldiers.
The sacrificial platform for the ceremony was set up at the foot of Mount Li. There are three tall statues standing there, with Emperor Zhuanxu in the center as the main one, and Zhu Rong and Prince Changqin as attendants.
The statue is dozens of feet tall and is made entirely of white marble. It looks solemn, gorgeous and sacred.
I am afraid that only the Qin Dynasty in the whole world has the ability to cast such giant stone sculptures.
After ensuring that everything was safe, the entire Xianyang was quietly waiting for the kings of the Western Regions to come to court and the thousands of people from the Western Regions who would come with them.
Xianyang also welcomed their return with extremely high standards, cleaning the streets for thirty miles, and being greeted by several ministers. The first emperor, Ying Zheng, stood in front of the Qinian Palace to greet them!
Such specifications made the kings and courtiers of Baiyue, Yelang and Dian kings envious. After all, they did not receive such a courtesy reception in the first place.
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved. Except for Baiyue, the other two countries were defeated, but the Western Regions surrendered voluntarily.
However, the leader of Baiyue was confused. How big is the Western Region, and how big is Baiyue? What the Western Region can have, why can't they have it?
And compared to the forced connections in the Western Regions, they are the purest descendants of the military leader Chi You, and they are one of the true Chinese orthodoxy!
Therefore, when Baiyue returns in the future, they must receive a higher standard of etiquette reception.
As for the dances in "Daxian", they are really beautiful, but how can they compare with their Baiyue Chiyou war dances?
That is the dance that a powerful empire should uphold!
Huangdi had "Yunmen Dajuan", and Chi You also had "Chi You's War Dance"!
At least after this return ceremony, Baiyue no longer has any resistance or resistance to integrating into the Central Plains of China, but believes that they should receive higher standards of etiquette!
But what surprised Jin Yao and Ying Zheng the most was that the chief priest who presided over the return ceremony was not Ying Zheng or Jin Yao, let alone the Ancestral Temple Order and Feng Chang, but Prince Fusu!
In Confucian terms, the achievements of the First Emperor have surpassed those of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors. It would have been okay for the First Emperor to officiate Zhuanxu at other times, but this was the return of the Western Regions, and Ying Zheng was not suitable. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that the clan was on an equal footing with the Western Regions!
Xiyu is the descendant of Prince Changqin, so Da Qin took out Prince Fusu, who has a similar status as Prince Changqin, to officiate. This is the most in line with the specifications. It not only shows that Da Qin attaches great importance to the Western Regions, but also highlights the importance of the Western Regions.
The power of the Qin Dynasty.
The heads of the countries in the Western Regions have no dissatisfaction or opinions about this. They just feel that this is the posture that a great country should have, and future generations dare to compare with their ancestors!
Therefore, there is a reason why Great Qin is strong. At least this spirit is something they have never had before, but Great Qin has already gone on the road to surpass its ancestors.
