Four hundred and seventieth chapters should be king
"Continue to clean up the battlefield outside the city. Wenyuan, Zilong, you will completely eliminate Dong's army in the city."
After giving simple instructions, I saw that the first ray of light had not yet arrived.
Ye Qing immediately ordered: "Please come to the Temple of Heaven."
There were nine earth-shattering cannon blasts and loud drum music. Although these were extremely simple, they basically fulfilled the etiquette. Zhong Pan was deafened and vibrated.
Along the way, the soldiers and civilians knelt down one by one and saw the Queen Mother riding on the horse. She was guided in and entered slowly. The crowd of black crows immediately fell silent.
The Queen Mother was extremely tired after being half-tied on a horse all night, but she was just watching and listening with dazzling eyes, feeling the atmosphere of the city, and the densely packed Han troops half-kneeling, which made her understand that she was really back.
Already.
At this moment, I only feel a sense of enrichment to make up for my physical and mental regrets. The past few years were turbulent and difficult to govern, and I even ran away to Xuchang in despair. Who knew it would turn out to be such a turn of events?
Even when I heard about the fate of burning Luoyang for two hundred miles that night, I was horrified beyond words. If it were like this, I would be beyond redemption...
Even if he had forced the man to agree with his promise a few days ago, although he had high hopes, he actually did not expect it to happen so quickly.
I almost shed tears for a while.
Just as aristocratic families from Luoyang City came to pay their respects, Ye Qing was startled when he saw this: "Queen Mother?"
"Ah." The Queen Mother wiped her tears and said with a smile: "The Aijia... finally did not become a sinner..."
Her crying and laughing were incomprehensible to the people on earth, and Ye Qing was secretly moved in his heart. Diao Chan kept looking at her lord secretly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Some of the Han ministers who came to see the Queen Mother sighed, imagining the Queen Mother's mood. Many of them secretly sighed: "God will not destroy our Han Dynasty."
Ye Qing entered Luoyang, and these people gradually agreed that Liu Shijun, who entered Luoyang at the age of thirty, was exactly the same as Emperor Guangwu, who entered Luoyang at the age of thirty.
But Ye Qing knew that he was still a little short, so he asked the Queen Mother to ride in the chariot, and Ye Qing himself led the army on horseback into the city.
The moment they entered the city, aristocratic families, military generals, and even some common people who woke up all unanimously shouted: "Long live, long live, long live"
They shouted in unison, and the people in the whole city went crazy and drunk, and they didn't know who they were calling.
At this moment, Qianqian's steps paused slightly. Her perception was now so powerful that she could distinguish the vegetation all over the city. She felt an uneasy feeling at this moment.
"Is there any...innate treasure in this city?" Qianqian asked, scanning the whole city. All the flowers, plants, trees and even vegetables were the same.
Ye Qing grabbed her hand and looked into her eyes: "Follow me closely and don't leave even half a step away."
"...Okay." Qianqian was stunned. Although there was a strong urging and attraction, she still nodded seriously. For her, Ye Qing was the most important thing.
After Ye Qing finished speaking, he continued to accept the cheers, until Guo Jia came to report halfway: "The whole city cheered, the Xiliang army's fighting spirit was shattered, they have surrendered, the stubborn resisters have been wiped out, and the city is at peace."
"My lord, are you using your name to calm people's hearts and use the Queen Mother's name to appease the wealthy families who have not yet moved away?" Guo Jia asked.
"This is business, you will send someone to handle it, but the most important thing now is to worship the sky immediately." Ye Qing waved his hand.
"Sacrifice to heaven, the etiquette is not enough, I can look for some of the remaining Han officials, some of whom are familiar with sacrificial rites, temporarily serve as ceremony officials, and urgently prepare sacrificial rites."
"You do your best. The convoy will patrol the whole city and arrive at the Temple of Heaven. We have some people ready. You try to finish it before then. It doesn't matter if you are rough. This is just a small sacrifice to heaven."
"Yes" Guo Jia responded immediately and issued orders one after another.
By this time, the news had spread quickly.
"The Dong thief was defeated. Liu Shijun came to rescue us at night and captured Luoyang City."
"Liu Shijun is really the second best in Guangwu"
"Long live Liu Shijun, long live, long live" the people tried, and found that the killing outside had indeed subsided, and Han soldiers entered the city one by one, and finally cheered.
Every family woke up and knelt down along the way, bowing to the frame and shouting.
"The people lined the streets to welcome Master Wang, and the people are ready to make a small sacrifice to heaven." Ye Qing waved his hands again and again and greeted the people, but he thought in his heart.
The north is yin, symbolizing earth, and the south is yang, symbolizing heaven.
In the Zhou Dynasty, the main sacrifice to the heaven was held every year on the winter solstice at the Circular Qiu in the southern suburbs of the capital. The same was true in the Han Dynasty - the Circular Qiu was a round altar. Before the sacrifice, the emperor and all the officials had to fast and look at the altar dedicated to the gods.
Sacrifice and sacrificial vessels.
During the period of Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, ancestral officials were responsible for worshiping heaven and earth in Chang'an. During the Later Han Dynasty, a circular mound was built in the south of Luoyang City. The altar was divided into upper and lower floors. The upper layer was for heaven and earth, and the lower layer was for the five emperors. There were two walls outside the altar. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the circular mound
The system is similar to that of the Eastern Han Dynasty. In the Sui Dynasty, the sacrifices to God Haotian, the sun, the moon, the emperor, the earth, the gods, and the ancestral temple were designated as dog sacrifices, and the sacrifices to the stars, five sacrifices, and four gazes were designated as Zhongsi, Priest Ming, and Si Zhong.
, wind master, rain master, mountains and rivers, etc. are designated as small sacrifices.
Ye Qing once visited Beijing in his previous life. The ancient buildings of the Temple of Heaven he visited were also built in the south of the city, including the Circular Mound, the Great Xiang Hall, the Imperial Vault, the Imperial Hall, the Zhai Palace, the Well Pavilion, the Sacrifice Pavilion, etc., and many publicity
The iconic three-layered concentric platform in the image is the Circular Mound, or...the Temple of Heaven.
A special altar where the emperor performed sacrifices to heaven, prayed for rain and prayed for a good harvest.
The Temple of Heaven building complex in Luoyang has not grown as much as it did thousands of years later, but the circular mound in the south of the city inherited the shape of the Zhou Dynasty and is paved with white marble.
A Han official rushed over and bypassed the gate, only to see a dense crowd of armored soldiers, with officials and aristocratic families in the middle, and common people coming after hearing the news.
"Is it too hasty?" the official thought: "It is not the style of a master to wait impatiently."
Just as he was thinking about it, he was startled. When he saw the Queen Mother coming out and standing still, she said: "There is a will."
What is this purpose?
The officials had already knelt down, bending over to listen. The people suddenly fell silent and knelt down too.
"The edict says:... The Han Dynasty suffered a calamity, but fortunately the clan... has repeatedly attacked the rebellious ministers, and is very commendable for being loyal and honest to the public... I conferred the title of King Cheng Ying, and I admire this."
"Thank you." Ye Qing thanked him deeply.
"Prince Ying, the natives may think that it means Ying Tian's destiny, but it is actually towards the position of Yingzhou - this Ye Qing's ambition is openly displayed." A few people on the ground all thought like this: "Humph, Marquis Ying,
It’s not like you can get it if you want it.”
In addition to the people on the ground, I don’t know how many gas-watchers were watching Ye Qing at this time. They saw that Ye Qing’s luck was originally confused. There were white, red, yellow and green. This was the reason why he had no real identity.
Suddenly, a trace of green energy dropped from the throne. Strangely enough, although this drop of green energy was not big, it immediately became the backbone.
When the white, red, yellow and green energy comes into contact with it, it gradually turns into light blue energy. The red dragon is originally a false pattern. At this time, it is hovering over the energy, and the sound of dragon roars is heard, full of joy.
At this time, Ye Qing, as the King of Ying, put on the royal clothes on the spot, including a nine-pin crown, a mysterious clothes, and clothes painted with dragons, mountains, flowers, insects, fire, Zongyi five-character pattern, clothes with embroidered algae, pink rice, and embroidery
, four chapters in black, nine chapters in total.
After changing into the royal robes, his eyes looked like paint, and he had a smile on his face. When he stood, he made people feel his magnanimity. Many people thought to themselves: "My lord is becoming more and more like a human lord."
Ye Qing was waiting quietly at this time. Seeing that the time was almost up, he slowly walked up to the altar with a solemn expression.
Due to the exquisite design, if you stand in the center of this white high altar and shout, you will hear a deep echo from deep in the ground. This sound seems to come from the earth and from the sky, so that the emperor can feel God's response... or in other words
A response from the heart?
Ye Qing didn't know whether what the emperor felt at that time was true or false, or before a power communication channel was established, all mysteries would not have much meaning even if they were true. This is what Confucius said: "Respect ghosts and gods and keep them at a distance" and "Sacrifice to gods and goddesses at a distance".
The practical significance of "sacrifice to gods as if gods are here".
But in this world where aura is flourishing and the power of heaven is manifested in various ways, Ye Qing feels that... there may be some fundamental differences.
He admitted that at this moment, he had some expectations for the legendary Son of Destiny.
After a moment of silence, he saw the first ray of dawn coming down and spoke loudly: "The Han clan, in response to the king's prayers to heaven, the Han clan's country has been robbed and overthrown several times.
The sacrifice is only for the people of the country. I risk my life to pray for it, but God is silently observing and protecting me..."
Ye Qing's voice was majestic and solemn, and from the high platform to the whole audience, people could not help but feel awe-struck.
Suddenly, wisps of red air emerged from under the soil of the altar. It condensed lightly. As the sacrifices were made, it gradually became stronger and turned into a red smoke cloud. It condensed for a long time and did not disperse. It penetrated into the body from below.
Inside, there are traces of blue inside.
"It's the dragon's energy that responds, and this person has been chosen to inherit the Han Dynasty." Anyone who cares can see it and know that although this dragon's energy is not strong, it implies that it is the orthodoxy of the Han Dynasty.
From the depths of the void that are unobservable to mortals, five gazes cast down, carrying different emotions, and then quickly pulled away. Only one gentle gaze stayed longer.
It's time...she thought.
The moment the confession was finished, Ye Qing suddenly fell into a dream. The strange thing was that he knew the dream but couldn't remember it. When he was in a trance, a dragon roar interrupted his dream.
A familiar blue dragon flashed across his sight, but when he really opened his eyes to look, he didn't see it.
"It must be an illusion," Ye Qing thought, and then realized that although the dream was long, it only lasted for an instant. It was the moment after the announcement was made, and all the officials and people in the audience were bowing down and shouting: "A thousand lives for my king."
"A thousand years old, a thousand years old"
"My king is a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old."
The sound was deafening. For a moment, in Luoyang City, this sound spread from the Temple of Heaven to the whole city, like the mountains shouting and the sea shouting, it was shocking.
As the thousands of people knelt down and worshiped, a trace of luck gathered. This was the right word. Ye Qing waved his hand and said: "Everyone is at peace."
From this moment on, in the lower world, he can already call himself "Gu" and his ministers "Qing".
At this moment, Ye Qing clearly felt that as long as he went back, he could achieve the perfection of red virtue and enter the earth virtue.
"Not only is it Huang De, it can also help me reach the second level of Huang De immediately, and I can almost enter the state of Dzogchen."
