Half a month later.

Chang'an, Weiyang Palace Xuanshi Hall.

Zhang Shao walked slowly into the hall and bowed respectfully. Liu Chan originally wanted to get away with him, but gave up the moment he saw him coming in.

"Zhang Shao!"

Liu Chan handed over a drawing and said, "Take a look, can it be done?"

Zhang Shao was waiting for this drawing. He entered the palace today just for this drawing.

He looked at the drawings and seemed a little confused.

"Do you understand?" Liu Chan asked deliberately.

Zhang Shao shook his head!

"Take a look, does it look like rainfall?" Liu Chan came over and pointed at a place on the drawing. Zhang Shao took a look and nodded seriously: "Thank you for your instruction, Your Majesty!"

"Can it be done?"

Liu Chan put his hands behind his back and returned to the Royal Eucalyptus to ask.

Shake your head!

Zhang Shao still shook his head.

It was so obvious, but before he could understand it, Liu Chan said speechlessly: "Just make some finger-thick holes in the corner of the dome, and let the river water outside drip into the lake on the north side of the underground palace!"

After speaking, Liu Chan pointed to the dome on the drawing, and then pointed to the other side, reminding him: "This is the bottom of the underground palace, and the bottom of the Nancheng moat..." He paused and said:

"In this way, the river water above drips from the dome into the underground palace, just like rainfall, but the bottom of the moat flows the excess water out of the underground palace."

It took Liu Chan half a month to come up with such a plan, and after three days of testing, he was also worried that there would be too much water in the underground palace in the end, and the underground palace would be flooded. If that happened, this plan would have to be destroyed.

In other words, he and the two queens will be submerged in the river.

Liu Chan's plan was very simple, which was to introduce a river through the top of the dome, and then cut a certain number of small holes in the dome, which could only lower the river water into the underground palace, and cut more holes at the bottom of one side of the moat to allow

The water in the moat flows outside through these holes.

In this way, the water flow in the underground palace becomes flowing water instead of a pool of stagnant water. Because the holes are very small, even if someone wants to enter the underground palace through the water inlet in the future, it will be difficult to do so. After all, the holes are only the size of a finger.

"Your Majesty!"

After Zhang Shao read the design and Liu Chan's explanation, he said: "If the river is blocked by silt and weeds, it will be difficult for water to flow into these holes..."

Zhang Shao used his brain and considered whether it was feasible based on the drawings.

"This..." Liu Chan was suddenly stunned. He really hadn't thought of this. The river outside must be flowing. As long as it is a flowing river, there will be sand, weeds and other things in the middle. It may be okay at first.

, over time, maybe decades, maybe hundreds of years, these holes will be blocked. Once the holes are blocked, no more water will enter the underground palace...

Just when Liu Chan was in trouble, a eunuch came in from outside.

"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister wants to see you!"

"Please!" Liu Chan put down the drawings and said.

Not long after, Prime Minister Zhuge Liang walked in. After a few brief greetings, Liu Chan posed this difficult question to Zhuge Liang.

"Father, please see...how to solve this matter?"

Liu Chan handed the blueprint to Zhuge Liang and told him his original idea of ​​designing the blueprint, which was to turn the water flow in the underground palace into living water instead of stagnant water.

Regarding the fact that mercury is no longer used in the imperial tombs, Liu Chan discussed with Zhuge Liang when he returned from Liangshan. Zhuge Liang meant that mercury in the rivers in the imperial tombs could not only replace the water in the rivers, but also prevent tomb robbers.

person.

However, when Liu Chan said that the use of mercury in the underground palace would greatly damage the surrounding environment, Zhuge Liang could only compromise. For the sake of the people, what could the emperor say?

After reading the drawings, Zhuge Liang said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. The old minister has asked Ma Jun and others to go to the imperial mausoleum. They will redesign a water source to flow in and out according to your Majesty's ideas. I believe it won't take long for them to

The message will be sent back."

"Okay!"

Liu Chan was overjoyed when he heard this. Ma Jun was originally from the Wei State. He was a thoughtful person and was good at researching all kinds of strange tricks. Even with the original Sangong bed crossbow, he just looked at the sample and was able to develop a more advanced thunder cannon.<

/p>

If the Han army had not produced the Hanwang Cannon ahead of schedule, perhaps the current situation in the world would be completely different.

"Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang finished talking about the imperial mausoleum, and then bowed and said: "After discussion with the ministers, the date of Feng Chan Taishan has been determined."

When Liu Chan heard this, he was also delighted. The Prime Minister is very efficient in his work.

"Your Majesty, I and others have agreed that on June 6, the 23rd year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 262), we will offer sacrifices to heaven and enshrine Zen in Mount Tai!" After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he handed a memorial to Liu Chan.

"June 6th!" Liu Chan said to himself: "There's still half a year left!"

"Exactly!" Zhuge Liang nodded.

Liuliu Dashun, this is a good day, Liu Chan immediately said: "Then I will follow my father's wishes, and on June 6th, I will worship the heaven and seal Mount Tai!"

"Promise!" Zhuge Liang responded immediately: "Old minister, I obey your order!"

From the moment it was confirmed that he would be enshrined in Mount Tai, Zhuge Liang and a group of veterans were extremely busy, choosing dates, setting etiquette, etc.

Of course, Taishan Fengchan is not the first of its kind.

In ancient times, Emperor Qin Shihuang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty all once visited Mount Tai as a Zen monk. There are useful references for etiquette and other matters.

Choosing an auspicious day is a big deal.

......

June 5, the twenty-third year of the rise of the Han Dynasty (AD 262).

At the foot of Mount Tai.

After half a year of preparation, half a month ago, the Han Emperor Liu Chan, Queen Zhang Yang, and the top civil and military officials of the Han Dynasty gathered in Taishan County.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang presented a copy of the regulations for the Feng Chan to Emperor Liu Chan. He said calmly: "This is the regulations for the Feng Chan tomorrow. Please take a look at it!"

"Okay!" Liu Chan took the charter and went through it one by one

In fact, this charter had been finalized a month ago. It was only because tomorrow was the Zen Ceremony that Zhuge Liang was worried that the emperor would be nervous, so he submitted this charter to the emperor for inspection.

The etiquette of "Feng Chan Taishan" is very complicated. After Liu Chan read it, he just felt:

This seems to be a bit more complicated than the main hall where I first ascended the throne.

Starting at dawn tomorrow and continuing until the sun sets, this Zen ceremony will be officially over.

"Xiangfu!" Liu Chan said with a smile after reading the charter: "Tomorrow is the ceremony of conferring Zen. Xiangfu is old, so it's better to go back and rest early to avoid being too tired."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "I am old and don't sleep so much anymore. Now I am not only excited, but also excited."

"Hahaha!" Liu Chan also said with a smile: "I am the same as Xiangfu... But Xiangfu, I'd better go back and rest first, I will be very busy tomorrow."

Half a month ago, Liu Chan and his party arrived in Taishan County. The emperors and ministers of the Han Dynasty, including Liu Chan, were very excited.

Because they accompanied the emperor and built a huge empire that was unprecedented and unprecedented. Tomorrow, tomorrow they will be on the top of Mount Tai, praying to the sky and offering sacrifices to the earth.

After Zhuge Liang left, Liu Chan returned to the palace, and Zhang Yang had already begun to make preparations in advance under the service of the palace maid.

She is the mother of the Han Dynasty. According to the regulations, tomorrow she will climb to the top of Mount Tai together with the emperor, and then make sacrifices to heaven and earth.

"Your Majesty!"

Zhang Yang said with a smile: "My father-in-law has gone back?"

"Yeah!" Liu Chan nodded: "My father-in-law is just as excited as we are, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, please rest for a while!" Zhang Yang turned around and said with a smile: "At the second watch, Yang'er will call you again!"

It's actually still early now, because it's just dark.

It's just that it gets dark relatively late in summer. Calculating the time, there are about two hours (4 hours) left until the second watch, but the queen's dressing up is particularly cumbersome.

First you have to take a bath and fast for three days.

The fasting matter has been finished. Now Zhang Yang is busy dressing up. Dozens of palace maids are busy in the room. After listening to what Zhang Yang said, Liu Chan wanted to say that I won't sleep, but he looked at the crowd of people in the room.

The palace maid ran around, and finally had to go to the nearby palace to take a rest.

......

Second update time.

Liu Chan was surprised from his sleep. It was Queen Zhang Yang who came to call him.

"Your Majesty!"

"It's the second watch!"

"Okay!"

Although he was a little dissatisfied, Liu Chan, who quickly understood what was going on today, immediately got up and the maids and eunuchs serving him immediately got busy.

Bath——
