To be honest, I haven’t seen many Fengchan battles in my memory! Everything in front of me is strange! There was no Taishan Fengchan in the Qing Dynasty. That’s because Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty was a little obsessed with Fengchan in the later period and built them everywhere.
The temples were a waste of time and money. From then on, the people became disgusted when they heard that the title of Zen was enshrined. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang directly canceled the title of Zen for Mount Tai. He no longer called Mount Tai the 'Holy Emperor Dongyue Zhuantian Qiren', and gave up the title of Emperor Taishan.
The title was changed to the God of Dongyue and Mount Tai. Since then, the emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties have never been granted the title of Zen by Mount Tai.
However, historical records show that the Fengchan period during the Emperor Gaozong was the greatest in history.
How big is the formation? All civil and military officials, as well as various ceremonial guards, and various magical objects used for the Feng Chan. With these alone, the team cannot be deployed for hundreds of miles. Before setting off, outside Chang'an City, we need to accompany them
When people camp together, it's really like a dotted chessboard.
Lin Yutong didn't seem to think anything of it. After all, Kangxi's southern tour was quite a battle.
What makes people feel that it is really large-scale and important is: Emperor Gaozong granted Zen, and all the countries followed him!

Turks, Persia, Tianzhu, Kunlun, Japan, Silla, Khotan, Wuchang, Baekje, Korea, Jibin, and royal envoys from various countries brought their own salutes and followed them all the way. For several days, Chang'an City was as wide as
The roads are blocked.
Just before setting off, Empress Wu proposed to take the concubines inside and outside the Sixth Palace. She even dug out Li Shimin's concubine Yan. Now she is a concubine and just needs to live in the palace. As a result, Empress Wu invited the concubine out.
Empress Wu went to the court and said that she wanted to invite all the ladies from inside and outside to follow her. She also said that she wanted to lead the ladies from inside and outside to worship at Liang Fu.
Liangfu is a low mountain next to Mount Tai, but ancient emperors often made sacrifices to the mountains and rivers here. Now Empress Wu said that it would not be appropriate to bring only me, why not bring all the female family members with her.

As a result, Empress Wu said, since you have brought them all, then you go to worship the heaven, and I will go to the earth! You are on Mount Tai, and I will worship the earth at Liang Fu beside Mount Tai!
Heaven is the father and the earth is the mother. We cannot only sacrifice the father but not the mother!

If you want to say forget it this time and wait until next time! Then Empress Wu will definitely say, "This is just a matter of course. If we do it again, we will definitely have to mobilize troops."

After weighing the two sides, should we argue with the queen about this before setting off? Or should we ask the queen to "drop by" to Liang Fu to pay homage to the Earth Mother?
Forget it! It is also the queen’s duty to pay homage to the Earth Mother, so be it!
The preliminary preparations for ‘Yaxian’ in the history books were completed in front of Lin Yutong.
Li Zhi had to travel a long distance, and he couldn't be too tired at this time, which would make the trip impossible. Empress Wu did all the trivial matters personally. After paying for it, Empress Wu immediately made further requests to expand her influence. This is even more
Like a deal, Li Zhi had to agree.
It was unclear what kind of relationship the couple had. Lin Yutong just watched Empress Wu stomping her way out when there was no way out. Although the road ahead was dark, she was still moving forward.
A step was taken.
How many people scolded Empress Wu for being foxy behind her back, but is this a fault of her? But it was precisely because of the cover of "fumei" that all the ministers in the dynasty did not realize what kind of woman Empress Wu was.
Standing on the city gate, Lin Yutong breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the hundreds of miles of troops go away.
This step-by-step confrontation, even if you know the final result, can't help but make people sweat.
Now it's better, people are gone! There are no tigers in the mountains, and monkeys can be called kings.
Li Hong was left to supervise the country! Before Tongtong said he wanted to go to the Hot Spring Palace, Li Hong had already made arrangements: send them all away quickly, so that he would not have to go back and forth and take care of the palace. Between the East Palace and the Harem
They are far apart.
Wherever you go, people are indispensable. No one can be served by hundreds of people, and the procession out of the city is also huge.
The fourth master and his people arrived at the gate of Daming Palace. He followed Li Hong in the car all the way and talked about thread-bound books. This also involved printing!
In fact, the manufacturing of paper has improved a lot now, especially with the rise of Buddhism. Buddhist scriptures are copied everywhere, and the cost of paper manufacturing is decreasing. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people choosing to wear clothes made of paper to keep out the cold in winter.
, covered with paper quilt.
Lin Yutong was sitting on the carriage, thinking about the poem "Paper Quilt" written by a poet from the Tang Dynasty. There is a line in the poem: A bed covered with bright moon is like returning to sleep, and a few feet of white clouds are caged in a cold sleep.
In the poetry of the Song Dynasty, there are more descriptions of paper clothes and paper quilts.
But cotton has not been introduced, silk is expensive, and fur is not affordable for everyone. What else can we do if we don’t use this kind of thing to keep out the cold?
The sound of carriages and horses covered up the hustle and bustle.
In fact, you can't see the shops on the street from the main street of Chang'an City. The shops are in various squares. Anyone who dares to open the door to such a main road must be a high-ranking family.
A street like this is great for people. But there are also a lot of people leaving the city. Horse-drawn carriages, ox-carts, and mule carts are leaving one after another.
Xiangju smiled and said, "They all go to Qujiang. The young man and the ladies love to hold poetry gatherings at this time of year..."
Oh, that's how it is!
Lin Yutong simply opened a gap in the bamboo curtain and looked outside. As soon as he left the city, the carriage in front stopped.
What's wrong? Lin Yutong asked Liu De to send someone to see it.
The reply said: It was a gentleman who knew His Highness the Crown Prince, and happened to meet him and was talking to His Highness.
Lin Yutong ignored it. When the car started to move, Lin Yutong saw a man and a girl dressed as men parked on the roadside, bowing and standing on the roadside, respectfully sending the car away.
Lin Yutong asked Liu De, "Whose husband and wife is that?"
Liu De took a look and said, "It should be Yang Sijian's Yang Sheren's family. Yang Sheren was entrusted with important tasks by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few years ago, and he worked with the official Xianggong to compile books. Later, Shangguan Xianggong was convicted, and now Yang Sheren should still be here.
I am busy with the errands of His Royal Highness."
His house! Lin Yutong's eyes swept over the girl who was disguised as a woman. The girl was looking up and peeking. Seeing Lin Yutong looking over, she quickly lowered her head, stuck out her tongue slightly, and hid behind her brother.
.
After the royal party passed by, Yang Yuyao gently tugged on her brother's sleeve and whispered, "Then the person in the second carriage is Princess Anding, right?"
Yes! I didn’t dare to look at it.
Li Hong understood what he meant. There had been a lot of things recently. At the party that day, the imperial sister came into contact with Pei Shiniang, and the two never had a chance to talk about it. He stopped and looked at the scenery at the bottom of the mountain. After a long while, he said: "Mrs. Pei Shiniang
Xu is really good, but, my dear sister, if the woman who marries into the family attaches too much importance to her natal family, is this a blessing or a curse? There are two types of relatives. One is that the queen is strong and gives priority to her natal family.
One is that the natal family is strong and affects the affairs of the harem and court. The harm between the former and the latter is equally great."
yes!
The topic could only be stopped here. After watching Li Hong go down the mountain, he told the Fourth Master, "This kind of contradiction is almost irreconcilable. No one feels that they are wrong."
Come all! Li Dan is at the age where he loves to run, you said, so he ran over. Of course, the wet nurse had to follow him every step of the way. Taiping was still young, and the wet nurse was holding her. Li Xian came a little slower, and when he came
I saw the chicken and fish brought by the chef. The grandson of Li Ji's family brought a lot of soil and asked, "Sister Huang, what are you doing?"
"There is Qingming Festival every year. If you can't see the excitement this year, you can see it the same next year. This year, my father, the emperor, and my mother are not here, so I don't worry about my eighth brother and Taiping." She said this, and then said, "But if you want to go, you can
Just go and take a look.”
Seeing that she was not in a high mood, Fourth Master interrupted, "How about getting something to eat? You're not hungry!"
And does Li Hong have his own considerations? After arriving at the place, the people below will clean up the place. Lin Yutong took advantage of the opportunity and told Li Hong about the girl from the Pei family, "...I don't know if Brother Huang has seen it, but I have.
Later I thought this little lady was very nice!"
Liu De whispered: "Prince Lu has been a vegetarian these days and doesn't eat meat anymore."
As for Li Dan, he was really tired after a rough day, so he took a rest early. Lin Yutong went over to look at it, touched his wrist, and everything was fine! Then he told the waiter and came out again.
During the Qingming Festival, there was drizzle, paper money was flying, and there was a huge crowd of worshipers. I don’t know how many people saw Li Xian, and saw him and Wu Minzhi paying homage to Mrs. Han|Guo.
Lin Yutong scratched his head and pulled the fourth master: "Let's go, let's go! I can't think about it anymore..." We don't want to seize the throne, just don't let anyone lose their life. Can't we let people live a good life? What should we do? Right
Bar?
"Others can't go, but I have no choice but to go." Li Xian turned around and looked at Dengzhu in trance, "My aunt took care of me when I grew up. If I forget, who will I become?"
Li Xian chuckled lightly, "I'm not afraid that the queen will know! If you don't like it, just don't like it. Even if you don't go, will the queen like me? When doing things, you can't follow anyone's preferences. You have to look at what should be done and what
It’s something you shouldn’t do! Even heinous criminals have to be mourned by their relatives. My aunt has a thousand things wrong with her, but she is the one who takes care of me. The one who watches over me all night long is my aunt.
Aunt, this is always right! She may not be able to live up to my mother, but she - she can live up to me."
"Why are you so polite!" Lin Yutong glanced at it and saw that everything in the room was extremely simple, so she knew it in her heart. She apologized first, "I didn't know you were praying for your father, the emperor, and your mother to become a vegetarian. It's my fault.
"
Baohua frowned, "So... I'm afraid the Queen will be unhappy." What is it that the Queen doesn't know? You can't hide it!
Empress Wu was not wrong in her choice of candidates.
After going out, Lin Yutong sighed inwardly, Li Xian still wanted to pay homage to Mrs. Han|Guo, right?
Lin Yutong was stunned for a moment: Look! As a prince, he is not stupid at all.
Li Xian was stunned for a moment, then smiled but did not explain the matter of becoming a vegetarian. He only said, "It will be Qingming Festival in a few days. The city is quite lively with Cuju and polo. Why don't the emperor go and watch it with Li Langjun?"
?”
Wrap the marinated chicken and fish in sesame leaves and roast them on the fire. Li Dan was still young and loved to play with this, constantly adding firewood to it.
On the other side of Taiping, she warned: "Close the windows at night and don't let the wind blow." Then she pointed to the circle of the palace and said, "Sprinkle realgar on the hot spring pool, and there will be insects..."
He doesn't like women who are as powerful as Empress Wu, nor does he like women whose natal family is too powerful. In other words, when his position is stable, he doesn't think Empress Wu's method of pulling power is necessary.
Based on Confucian theory, is Empress Wu a good woman in their eyes? No!
What hot spring are you looking at?!
Tongtong was reluctant to part with it, but Fourth Master was right! The current speed of construction makes people feel anxious just thinking about it.
After having a meal, the fourth master really went down the mountain. Lin Yutong asked someone to boil hawthorn and deliver it to several children. He also inspected the place where the children lived to see if it was safe or not.
Lin Yutong was speechless and asked someone to get pigeon eggs and tofu, stuff them all into the chicken's belly, wait until they were baked, and left half for Taiping. She was a vegetarian so she could digest it better, and gave the rest to Li Xian.
The eunuch Baohua next to Li Xian whispered, "Your Highness... you shouldn't go!"
After saying a few polite words, I took my leave.
See what's wrong? I'm not dragging you down to wash.
They are almost ready, but Li Xian hasn't come yet.
Lin Yutong sent someone to ask: "Why are you missing? Are you asleep? Or what happened?"
"Okay! Come back and buy some market things for Sister Huang."
Use Confucian theory to read history books, and then compare Empress Wu with the women who disrupted politics in the history books. It seems that the closer the comparison is, the closer they are.
The fourth master shook his head, "The prince received an orthodox Confucian education. On the way just now, he also said that he wanted to posthumously make Yan Hui the prince's young master and Zeng Shen the prince's young protector."
Qiang flutes and willows pass by, disturbing people's hearts during the Qingming Festival.
Lin Yutong sighed in his heart. The girl from the Yang family was recorded in the history books as the girl who was raped by He Lan Minzhi before marrying the prince. How should I put it? Yang Sijian was an official of the East Palace and was the official who compiled the book. This
There is no comparison with the girls from Pei Ju's Taoist family! Not to mention that Pei Ju was a third-rank official and a military commander in charge of the capital and palace guards. Let's talk about the upbringing of the Yang Sijian family. Although it is not an aristocratic family like the Pei family, it has more than ten generations of nobles.
Can the upbringing of Hou Xunwei's increasingly prosperous family be the same?
"Cook something you haven't eaten before."
Li Xian was still reading, and she didn't disturb him. She just asked people to keep an eye on him, and it was best to take a rest early.
So Li Hong looked at Empress Wu from this perspective, and he probably felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he knew that this was my mother. On the other hand, he knew that my mother was not a good woman in the traditional sense.
But the girl from the Yang family... is a good girl, but she may not be qualified to be a crown princess. This is not that you, Li Hong, are choosing a wife, but that the Tang Dynasty is choosing a crown princess.
After coming out, he thought about it and went to see Li Xian. As soon as Li Xian heard this, he came out directly and said, "Sister Huang is here. I want you to worry about me. I am very uneasy."
As a prince, he is not worried that his father will not pass the throne, but he is worried that his mother will be too strong and interfere in politics!
Pei Shiniang is a girl who can talk to me without any inappropriateness.
Going to that place will cause misunderstanding! The fourth master has no intention of living here permanently, just send him here! There is a difference between the monarch and his ministers, and it is troublesome to see each other in and out! Besides, it is best to start renovating the house during the summer.
We have to stop work in the winter. We must seize the time! At most, we can have a meal on the mountain, and then we really have to leave. We can even come back another day!
A good vegetarian diet? Is it because Helan Mei died?
Quite! She called Xiangju: "Invite a few princes and Princess Taiping to come. I said I was going to make some food. Will they come?"
Let’s go see the hot springs!
Helan Meizhi has been living in the palace since he was a child. Someone he was very familiar with died tragically. He must not be able to cope with it!
