Chapter 552 Imperial Mausoleum Sacrifice
Heart is higher than the sky, life is thinner than paper.
Su Xiaofei did read a lot of books, and her horizons were broadened, but unfortunately her wisdom did not increase. It really proved that "there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people", and the same thing is seen differently by different people.
Su Xiaofei only saw the glory of Kong Yishang, the Empress of the Dawu Dynasty, but did not see the excellence of Empress Kong Yishang herself, nor did she see how Empress Kong Yishang cared about the world, and how she governed the precarious country into a prosperous one, attracting all nations to pay tribute to her.
If Empress Kong Yi was not the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister of the Dawu Dynasty, if she had not made a lot of connections while studying in the upper study, if she had not been open-minded and generous, if she had not been a woman but a master of both civil and military affairs, and had personally led the nomadic tribes to surrender...
Then, Kong Yishang would not be able to ascend the throne, nor would he be able to become a wise ruler.
As the eldest daughter of the Left Prime Minister of the Dawu Dynasty, Kong Yishang possessed a noble birth and family background, which provided her with certain political capital and social status.
While studying in the study room, she made a lot of connections. These were the top people in the Dawu Kingdom, and each of them had a profound background.
These connections later became important officials in the court of the Dawu Dynasty and played an important supporting role in Kong Yishang's political career.
She was broad-minded, wise, and kind, winning the love of the people, the support of officials, and the submission of concubines in the harem.
All these laid a solid foundation for Kong Yishang's rule.
Kong Yishang's talents in both civil and military affairs enabled her to achieve major military victories, conquer nomadic peoples, and maintain national security and stability.
The most crucial thing is that Kong Yishang had the world in her heart and no selfish motives. She stepped back behind the scenes, handed over power and returned politics to the young emperor without any attachment to power.
From frugality to luxury is easy, from luxury to frugality.
Having tasted the power, no one is willing to let it go easily. But Kong Yishang let it go without hesitation. To be honest, it really shocked the civil and military officials of the Dawu Dynasty, and made them truly recognize Kong Yishang from the bottom of their hearts, and also laid a solid foundation for their subsequent submission to the female emperor Kong Yishang.
It is precisely because of the combined effect of the above factors that Kong Huishang was able to stand out in the complex political environment and become a highly acclaimed empress in history.
It was her wisdom, courage and leadership that enabled the Dawu Dynasty to prosper and usher in a glorious era.
The success of Empress Kong Yishang of the Dawu Dynasty not only depended on her personal ability, but was also closely related to many factors such as family background and interpersonal relationships.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for Empress Kong Yishang to gain the recognition and submission of civil and military officials, and for them to willingly assist her in governing the Dawu Dynasty into a prosperous and wealthy country.
Especially the army. If they were not truly submissive, the generals holding military power could easily hold the emperor hostage to control the princes. How could they willingly obey the orders of the female emperor Kong Yishang, sacrifice their lives, shed their blood, and fight on the battlefield?
The most important thing is that while the Queen Kong Yishang of Dawu Kingdom was governing the country, she did not give up on her only grandson Xiao Linyi, but instead trained him even more attentively.
This time, the Queen of Dawu Kingdom, Kong Yishang, deeply reflected on her previous educational methods and learned lessons from them.
She realized that it was far from enough to focus only on the cultivation of knowledge and skills, but also necessary to shape the character qualities of the emperor's grandson in all aspects.
Therefore, the cultivation of the emperor's grandson by the Queen Kong Yishang of the Dawu Kingdom became more comprehensive and in-depth, especially in terms of character, perseverance and mind.
The grandson of the emperor, Xiao Linyi, lived up to everyone's expectations. He accepted various tests and challenges with firm determination and tenacious perseverance. Whether facing hardships or great pressure, he could remain calm and composed, actively respond and strive to overcome difficulties.
At the same time, Xiao Linyi learned to be tolerant and inclusive, always treating others with kindness, showing a broad mind and noble character.
Under such training, the emperor's grandson Xiao Linyi grew up healthily and became an outstanding successor with both moral integrity and talent and a heart for the world.
After the emperor's grandson Xiao Linyi grew up and was able to stand on his own, the Empress Kong Yishang of Dawu decisively passed the throne to this grandson, and provided protection behind the scenes to ensure a peaceful transition of the Dawu Dynasty.
Xiao Linyi lived up to expectations and perfectly inherited the wisdom and courage of the Empress Kong Yishang of Dawu. With his own talents and efforts, he successfully brought the Dawu Dynasty to a new height. Under his governance, the country became increasingly prosperous, the people lived and worked in peace, and the society was harmonious and stable.
The grandson Xiao Linyi proved his ability and value with practical actions, and won the unanimous recognition and praise of the Queen Kong Yishang and the subjects of Dawu. He became the new emperor respected by everyone and led the Dawu Dynasty to a more glorious future.
Who can not be impressed by such a empress with great wisdom, broad mind and great courage?
This is the charm of the Queen Kong Yi of the Great Wu Kingdom that has made her name famous throughout the ages.
The benevolent see benevolence, and the wise see wisdom.
It’s a pity that Su Xiaofei is neither a kind person nor a wise person, but just a fool with a little cleverness but huge ambitions.
If virtue does not match the position, there will be disaster; if virtue is weak but the position is high, wisdom is small but the plan is big, strength is small but the responsibility is heavy, it is rare to be inferior.
Low moral character but high position: refers to the fact that the level of a person's morality and character is not proportional to the leadership position that person holds. For example, if a person's morality and character standards are very low and he suddenly obtains a high position, he may engage in bad behavior due to his lack of moral character, and eventually cause disaster.
Small wisdom and big plans: It means that a person's thinking wisdom is not proportional to his plan or goal. If a person's wisdom and ability are not enough to support his huge plan or goal, it may lead to serious losses or failure.
Small power but heavy responsibility: refers to a person's power not being proportional to the responsibility he or she bears. If a person's power is not enough to bear the responsibility, it may lead to physical injury or even life-threatening.
But Su Xiaofei is such a fool who looks smart but is actually extremely stupid and doesn't even realize it.
Su Xiaofei is now hiding it from Zhao Chunhua and making intensive arrangements to "use the emperor to command the other lords".
Unfortunately, Su Xiaofei didn't know that Zhao Yuan and Qian Er, whom she had high hopes for, were actually baits set by Yuwen Yong.
There are many baits like Zhao Yuan and Qian Er.
Yuwen Yong was also a hero. He was now determined to fight to the death. Either he would win a great victory, or they would perish together. There was no other option.
All the hidden chess pieces in Kyoto have now been fully activated by Yuwen Yong.
It's a pity that not everyone is as stupid as Su Xiaofei. They are all old foxes who have been in the court for thousands of years. Why are they making trouble at this time when the immortal of the Su family comes to Beijing?
Is it stupid?
Or is it stupid?
Still stupid!
Three days passed in a blink of an eye.
Yuwen Yong led civil and military officials out of the capital and headed for the imperial mausoleum.
The process of sacrifice is very complicated. The first thing is the preparation, including preparing sacrifices, arranging the sacrificial site, preparing sacrificial utensils, etc. All these have been prepared before the formal sacrifice.
In the sacrifices at the imperial mausoleum, the offerings were usually rich. At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites had already assisted the Shaoqing of the Taichang Temple to prepare all the exquisite offerings needed for the sacrifices:
Meat offerings include roast chicken, roast suckling pig, roast whole lamb, etc., with golden and crispy skin and tender and juicy meat.
Fruit offerings include apples, bananas, grapes, etc., which are fresh, attractive and colorful.
The wine offerings include white wine, red wine, glutinous rice wine, etc., which are mellow and fragrant and intoxicating.
The placement of offerings is also very particular, and is arranged in a certain order and rules. Meat offerings are placed in the front, symbolizing respect and dedication to the ancestors. Fruit offerings are placed in the middle, implying a good harvest and a good life. Wine offerings are placed at the end, representing blessings and gratitude to the ancestors.
The number and variety of offerings are also very rich, reflecting the respect for ancestors and the importance of sacrificial rituals. These offerings are not only material contributions, but also respect and inheritance of the ancestors' spirits.
The time for the sacrifice is usually chosen in the early morning, when the atmosphere is most solemn. The worshippers will wear solemn formal clothes and line up neatly at the sacrificial site.
所以,祭祀队伍是子时初(子时是23:00-1:00 ,属于水)集合从京都出发,大约丑时末(丑时是 1:00-3:00 , 属于土)到达皇陵,寅时三刻(寅时是 3:00-5 :00,属于木 )正式开始祭祀。
At the front of the procession was the Royal Guard, whose presence made the whole scene more solemn and dignified. They lined up neatly and marched steadily and powerfully.
The members of the Royal Guard were dressed in gorgeous uniforms with exquisitely embroidered patterns, sparkling with dazzling light, and their helmets were inlaid with gems, shining brightly, showing the royal dignity and glory.
In the center of the guard of honor is a huge flag with the national symbol embroidered on it. It flutters in the wind, showing the country's majesty and power.
Around the flag was a group of soldiers holding spears. Their eyes were firm and majestic, as if they were always ready to protect the emperor's safety.
The appearance of the royal guard made the whole scene more spectacular and made people feel the power and glory of the country. Their presence was not only to show the majesty of the royal family, but also to show Yuwen Yong his strength and confidence to everyone.
In the middle of the guard of honor was a beautifully decorated carriage, in which sat the new emperor Yuwen Yong. His sedan chair was pulled by four horses, the top of the sedan chair was decorated with gorgeous gold ornaments, and on both sides of the sedan chair were hung gorgeous curtains that fluttered in the wind.
Yuwen Yong was sitting in a sedan chair. He was wearing a gorgeous dragon robe and a golden crown on his head. The crown was inlaid with a huge gem that sparkled brightly under the sunlight.
Behind the sedan chair of the new emperor Yuwen Yong was a beautifully decorated carriage, in which sat the new emperor Yuwen Yong's empress and concubines. They were dressed in gorgeous palace costumes, with exquisite hair accessories on their heads and delicate makeup on their faces. Their presence was not only to accompany the new emperor, but also to show the dignity and glory of the royal family.
Behind the carriages of the queen and concubines was a team of palace maids and eunuchs, holding various sacrificial items such as incense burners, candlesticks, flowers, etc. Their presence was not only to complete the sacrificial ceremony, but also to show the royal family's piety and awe.
After that came a guard team composed of elite soldiers, dressed in gorgeous armor, holding sharp weapons, and marching forward in an orderly manner. Their presence was not only to protect the safety of the new emperor, but also to demonstrate the majesty and strength of the royal family.
The entire royal sacrificial guard of honor was so grand and majestic that it shocked people. This team was not only the pride of the new emperor Yuwen Yong, but also the glory of the entire country.
Behind them were a group of civil and military officials wearing formal official uniforms of different ranks, as well as the families of officials who had received imperial edicts.
The team marched along a wide road, with neatly lined soldiers and civilians on both sides. They silently watched Yuwen Yong and his team, some of them showed respect for the emperor and awe of the imperial mausoleum, some were thoughtful, some showed disdain or gloating, but all of them were fleeting and quickly hidden by the owners of the eyes.
On the surface, Yuwen Yong seemed full of respect for his ancestors and responsibility for the country. In fact, this sacrifice was a way for Yuwen Yong to comfort his ancestors, pray for them, and show his majesty and ruling power to the people.
Of course, there is also the activation of the formation.
The team finally arrived at the imperial mausoleum. Yuwen Yong dismounted and led the officials into the imperial mausoleum.
The gate of the imperial mausoleum was closed, so Yuwen Yong personally went forward and pushed the gate open. Inside the gate was a solemn scene, and Yuwen Yong and the officials walked into the imperial mausoleum solemnly and began the sacrificial ceremony.
The chief priest, Yuwen Yong, was the first to light the incense, knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times devoutly, and then toasted to the ancestors.
Then he began to read the sacrificial text, expressing his remembrance and respect for his ancestors. In the sacrificial text, Yuwen Yong reviewed the achievements and contributions of his ancestors and expressed his expectations and blessings for future generations. Naturally, he spoke in a high-sounding manner, and those who didn't know would think that Dayan State under the rule of the Yuwen Dynasty was very powerful.
Afterwards, the worshippers will offer sacrifices again in a certain order, such as fruits, meat, wine, etc. During the offering process, the worshippers will maintain a solemn expression, hold the sacrifices in both hands, and carefully place them on the altar, as if holding a rare treasure, not daring to be careless at all.
After all, the punishment for damaging the imperial gift could be severe or minor, and no one dared to gamble with their family on the emperor's few kindnesses.
Next is the worship session, where the worshippers will kneel down and kowtow to express their respect and gratitude to their ancestors. During the kowtow, they will maintain a pious attitude and pray silently in their hearts, hoping that the ancestors will bless the family to prosper and their descendants to be safe and healthy.
Then, the worshippers will burn paper money and paper items, such as paper horses and paper cars, to express their care and concern for their ancestors. During the burning process, the worshippers will carefully watch the flames to ensure that the paper money and paper items are completely burned.
The entire sacrificial process is solemn and cumbersome, requiring the worshippers to devote themselves wholeheartedly to express their respect and gratitude to their ancestors.
After the sacrifice, Yuwen Yong stood up and led the officials out of the imperial mausoleum to rest in the prepared houses.
There was no way. Didn’t you see that several second-rank ladies were already shaky and about to collapse?
Yuwen Yong was afraid that if he continued to insist, a large number of frail civil and military officials and their families would fall ill tomorrow.
