Liu De was on Jieshan Mountain at this time. Three days ago, he left Wushan Mountain, bypassed Anyi, entered Linyi from Sushui, and came to the foot of Jieshan Mountain.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, Jieshan is a place that every official, noble, and royal family member who comes to Hedong must visit.
Because there is a temple here.
In the Jie Temple, Jie Zitui, the most famous loyal minister and filial son in the Spring and Autumn Period, is worshiped and enshrined.
Let's put it this way, even that bastard Qin II, when he arrived in Hedong, knew how to personally go to Jie Mountain to worship Jie Temple, made Jie Zitui the Jie Marquis, and split Jie Mountain into his fiefdom.
At this time, both the official and the people highly praised Jie Zitui.
At this time, Jie Zitui's status in China was roughly equivalent to the combination of Qu Yuan and Yue Fei in later generations.
An obvious evidence is that the most important festival in China at this time - the Cold Food Festival was born to commemorate Jie Zitui.
Every year during the Cold Food Festival, everyone in the Han Dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, does not light fires in every household and eats cold food to commemorate Jie Zitui.
Even when I came to Hedong, it would be unjustifiable not to come to offer sacrifices to Jie Zitui.
Especially since Liu De has almost revealed his identity now. Except for not publicly announcing it, everything else looks like a prince on a tour.
Just like now, when Liu De ascended Jieshan Mountain to pay homage to Jie Temple, the accompanying ministers included Zhidu, Ji An, and Yuanhou Liu Ci, as well as Linyi County Magistrate Zhang Zhi, and County Weiwang Dadan.
After respectfully offering sacrifices to the temple, Liu De bowed and said to his left and right: "The strong wind knows the strength of the grass, the national calamity reminds us of our loyal ministers, and the Duke of Jie is loyal and virtuous. It has been sung for thousands of years, and every year in Linyi County
Send special personnel here to repair and maintain the temple, and select a few loyal and honest households. We will compile households for the temple and offer sacrifices at all times without any mistakes!"
"No!" Zhang Zhi, the magistrate of Linyi County, and Wang Gandang, the county lieutenant, who were waiting carefully on the side, nodded immediately and wrote down Liu De's instructions.
"Your Highness, please write an inscription for the temple..." Zhang Zhi, the magistrate of Linyi County, took the opportunity to have someone carry out a plaque and said: "The plaque and stone tablet that were used to introduce the temple were both erected by the Second Emperor of Qin. 2.
How can you, the emperor of the world, leave a legacy for the Jiegong Temple? Therefore, it has long been destroyed by the people. Now, there is no plaque and no stone in the Jiegong Temple, which is a pity. If His Highness can write an inscription, Jiegong Jiuquan will know it.
, you can rest in peace now!”
This naked flattery made Liu De laugh.
Who doesn't like to be flattered?
Anyway, Liu De felt that he enjoyed this feeling.
Of course, he also knew in his heart that flattery like this would make him feel good, but if he really took it seriously, he would be making himself unhappy.
Liu De remembered clearly that two thousand years later, those leaders who left inscriptions and names everywhere. Once they entered Qincheng, even the inscriptions they had on their alma mater and hometown were cleanly eradicated. Even their student status was wiped out.
It's been erased.
Isn’t there a living example right in front of us?
Where are the plaques and stone tablets inscribed by Emperor Qin II now?
But who doesn’t like the inscription?
So, amidst the compliments and laughter of everyone, Liu De picked up the writing brush, considered it for a moment, and wrote a sentence on the plaque: wealth cannot be lascivious, poverty cannot be subdued, and power cannot be moved.
This is exactly how later generations summarized Jie Zitui and the humanistic spirit of classical Chinese literati he represented.
At the moment when I wrote this sentence, a breeze blew by, and the branches of the two willow trees planted in front of the temple swayed. The shadows of the swinging branches falling on the ground looked like a person bowing. Many people included this scene in their
In eyes.
"Your Highness, Duke Jie has appeared, and I am thanking you for your inscription!" Wang Dao next to him immediately congratulated, and the others said one after another, regardless of whether they saw it clearly: "Your Highness wrote the inscription, and Duke Jie appeared. This shows that His Highness's
Dexiu, even sages like Duke Jie have praised him! I congratulate the world and congratulate Your Majesty!"
Liu De looked at the crowd, with a warm smile on his face, waved his hands and said, "How dare you be praised by the Jie Gong with your poor virtue?" Although he said he was modest, he actually took the seat first, confirming the Jie Zitu's recommendation.
At the same time, Liu De also looked at the shadow of the branches on the ground, and it seemed to look like a person bowing! However, if he looked carefully, it didn't look like it. In other words, if it were changed,
The shadow can also be interpreted as evil spirits causing trouble and angry gods.
All I can say is that if you want to flatter someone, any reason or thing can be used as an excuse.
The group of people went down the mountain along the mountain road. When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, a cloud came from the sky and blocked the sun. Liu De looked up and said, "Gentlemen, the wind is going to blow. Come down the mountain quickly..."
It is now the end of June, the summer rain season, and maybe it will rain again.
Linyi County Magistrate Zhang Zhi also raised his head and looked at the sky when he heard this. Suddenly, he let out a sigh and asked loudly: "Gentlemen, please see, do the clouds in the sky look like an umbrella cover?"
When he said this, everyone looked up. Liu De also raised his head and squinted his eyes, thinking: "What umbrella cover? I still think it looks like a ball of cotton!"
However, human imagination is infinite.
Zhang Zhi opened the door, and smart people will naturally associate and discover on their own.
Wang Gandang, who was on the side, flattered him at the right time and said: "His Royal Highness has been offering sacrifices to the Taiyi God. The statue of the Taiyi God has Ze and gave him Ganoderma lucidum. Today, he is offering sacrifices to Jie Gong. The willow tree has spirit. He bowed to express his gratitude. Now, God uses the cloud as an umbrella."
, to provide shade for His Highness, all these auspicious signs prove that His Majesty’s virtues have blessed His Highness, so God gave this kind of auspicious signs as a reward!”
The rest of the people also agreed.
Liu De felt depressed. He knew that he could not allow these sycophants to flatter him endlessly.
So Liu De waved his hand and said: "You don't talk about strange power and chaos. Although this is just a statement of Kong Zhongni's family, I think it is very good! As a politician, you should respect heaven and show mercy to people. It is good to know the things about gods and ghosts in your heart. Yi Yun:
A gentleman with the strong will of Heaven will never cease to strengthen himself and encourage you all together!"
There are really too many auspicious things along the way.
You said that Jie Gong appeared and bowed to express his gratitude. This is easy to explain. Why, God will get an umbrella to cover the clouds next time. If word spreads, others will not regard Liu De as a fool. Liu De himself will also think that he is.
What a shame.
What's more, it's too much and it's not enough. Before he even sat on the throne, he made an auspicious cloud umbrella cover and sent it back to Chang'an. What would the cheap dad think?
Anyway, Liu De felt that if he heard his son playing this kind of trick in the future, he would have his butt swollen before he came back.
The most important thing is that later Liu Che went to each place to find auspiciousness, and in the end, the auspiciousness was ruined!
Things are more valuable when they are rare. Once anything becomes widespread, it is worthless!
Moreover, Liu De no longer needs auspiciousness, Fenyin Cauldron is enough to build momentum for him!
Upon hearing this, Wang Gan knew that he had flattered the horse's leg, so he shrank his neck angrily and stopped talking.
At this time, an attendant who Liu De had left at the foot of the mountain hurried up the mountain. When he saw Liu De, he knelt down and presented a silk letter, saying: "Your Highness, urgent report from Anyi!"
Liu De took it over and took a look in confusion, his face immediately darkened, he shouted loudly and asked: "Where is the general Zhidu?"
At the same time, he took out something from his arms, half a jade crouching tiger, and ordered loudly: "Here is the Tiger Talisman of the Emperor, and all the lieutenants and generals will obey your orders!" (To be continued...)
ps: Well, I feel much better today, the pain has significantly reduced, and I have begun to recover. Well, basically if everything goes well, I think I should be able to resume normal updates tomorrow, and then next week, I will add a chapter every day.
