CoM will send such a good news before the Emperor's Fengshan Ceremony, and the emperor will definitely be happy.
Because the function of the road increased the speed of the carriage moving forward, within a few days, the emperor's Eastern Tour convoy arrived at the foot of Yishan Mountain in Qilu. The scenery of Yishan Mountain was amazing, and the surrounding area was the birthplace of the Confucian sage Confucius and Mencius. Confucian scholars regarded this place as a holy place. Therefore, the Confucian scholars suggested that the emperor stay here and demonstrate his merits.
The emperor, who was very happy with the merits, was naturally happy with this kind of advice, so he climbed the mountain to enjoy it, and asked Li Si to write an inscription, carve stones on the mountain to express his merits, and carve his great achievements in unifying the six kingdoms on the mountain for future generations to admire.
After staying in Yishan for a short period of three or five days, the convoy of the Eastern Tour rushed to the main place of this tour: Mount Tai.
The emperor wanted to conduct the Fengshan ceremony here. Of course, in fact, Fenghe Chan is two parts. Feng is to climb Mount Tai to worship God, and the Zen ceremony also requires going to Liangfu Mountain to worship the earth, which is considered to be the complete Fengshan ceremony.
There were also some interesting stories about the Fengshan ceremony. The emperor went to Fengshan in the east, and the Confucian scholars made a lot of efforts. When the emperor pacified the world and was called emperor, a Confucian scholar wrote a letter to the emperor that the emperor must hold the Fengshan ceremony and be recognized by God, so he was worthy of his name and became the master of the world. The emperor was very interested in this statement, so he was quite concerned about Fengshan, so he had this idea.
Of course, Confucian scholars wrote to the emperor for Fengshan, so they would not be happy to encourage the emperor to be fond of the ancient rituals. They also had their own motivations to try to use Confucian etiquette to put Confucianism on the emperor's head and let the emperor make Confucianism a national skill. This ideal is too grand, and it is not certain whether it can be realized, but Confucian scholars knew that being able to show their faces in front of the emperor was a great good thing, and they could be promoted. If they were to let one thing go, it was the great grace of the emperor and the blessing of the Master.
Because of the emperor's feudal ancestral work, Confucian scholars claimed to be proficient in etiquette and law, so they formulated a series of etiquette laws, hoping that the emperor would follow the complicated rules they formulated by the so-called "ancient rituals". For example, when climbing Mount Tai, you must ride a chariot to avoid harming the mountains, rocks, plants and trees. The tributes used were varied, and even if they were mobilized from various places, it was difficult to do it. Moreover, what the emperor could not bear was that Confucian scholars asked the emperor to bring less military generals and more Confucian scholars to the mountain, demonstrating the emperor's benevolence and disgusting spirit, etc.
Looking at the Confucian scholars' faces that were wrapped in their crowns and belts, the emperor was as disgusting as if he had swallowed dozens of flies. The decisive emperor made a shocking decision: drove all Confucian scholars down the mountain, and took a group of civil and military ministers up the mountain to hold the Fengshan ceremony! You can do whatever you want!
The Confucian scholars who learned this news were heard as if they heard bad news. They were very angry and resentful towards the emperor. Although they dared to be angry, they did not dare to speak. They had to spread rumors and cause trouble in private and slander the emperor's words. The most widespread rumors are the emperor's sacrifice to the sky and shelter from a pine tree when they encounter heavy rain. Because the old pine was successful in covering the rain, the emperor was on a whim and gave birth to the old tree, ranking among the five major doctors. Therefore, the pine is also known as the "Five Major Physicians".
The extremely boring Confucian scholar was dissatisfied with the emperor's dissatisfaction and spread rumors that the emperor did not follow the ancient etiquette, despised the Confucian scholar, angered the mountain god, and it rained heavily. The emperor did not climb Mount Tai because of the heavy rain and performed the Fengshan ceremony...
The emperor did not care about the harsh remarks of these sarcastic scholars. On the top of Mount Tai, he was a stone inscription, and recorded the achievements and names of the accompanying civil and military officials one by one to show his great achievements. Unfortunately, more than ten years later, the empire was in turmoil, and these stone tablets were destroyed by those who were interested, and there was no trace to be found.
After the Fengshan Mountains of Mount Tai, the emperor followed the established route and patroled to Langya, Pengcheng, Xiangshan and other places, and went all the way, and the boats and cars were exhausted, which was very hard.
Tours are not for fun. Every day when the emperor stopped, he would mobilize local officials to question and investigate the local customs and customs, and sent a large number of secret spies to investigate the people's livelihood profiles in various places, and to investigate the remnants of the six countries, etc. The tours along the way, in addition to assessing officials from all over the country, there are also tasks to deter the restoration forces of the six countries.
Of course, the center of the entire empire actually flowed everywhere with the emperor's patrols. There were several carts of memorials coming from all over the empire every day. On the journey, the emperor and the politicians of the court had to continue to handle the government affairs of the court in the bumpy carriage every day.
The big businessmen who spent money to buy quota escorts were even more miserable. At first, they thought that following the emperor was a comfortable and respectable thing. But in fact, there was no such thing at all. There were many dignitaries in the team, so how could these merchants get better special treatment? After a few months, many people lost several laps, and just thought it was because of losing weight.
Even so, no one dared to complain. What a glorious thing it would be to be able to accompany the emperor on a tour. In the future, the experience during this period will be their lifelong conversation capital. As long as you say loudly, I followed His Majesty the Emperor to travel east through the world, it would be enough for others to envy and jealous. Although when following His Majesty the Emperor's footsteps, they could only follow the emperor's car far away from the end of the team, Long Yan could only worship him from a distance.
...
The emperor was riding in a car, nearly three meters long and about one meter wide. It can accommodate more than ten people. It is covered with thick soft blankets, which can offset the bumpy feeling of the carriage when it gallops. Inside the carriage, in addition to the emperor himself, there are two female officials responsible for his daily life and diet along the way.
"Zhao Gao." The emperor leaned on the comfortable cushion and threw a memorial in front of the couch, his voice a little tired: "Where is the memorial from Lingnan today?"
The Lingnan War has been going on for a long time. Ren Xiao would advance the war every day to report to the emperor in the form of a briefing, so the emperor knew the situation in Lingnan well.
Month ago, the King of Nanyue, Meng Heilong, was killed by his subordinates, and the anti-Qin army in Lingnan was out of power. His son Meng Qingshan and the Qin army fought fiercely under Longchuan City for several days, but were finally defeated. They abandoned the city and broke through, leading less than 2,000 remnants and fled to the deep mountains. The Qin army has added time to encircle and suppress. Now the main force of the Qin army has broken into the boundary of Xiou and started a war with the enemy of Xiou King. The Xiou army, which once fought with Meng Heilong's army for several battles, was no match for the Qin army, and has retreated.
