Chapter 283 – Sealing Mount Tai, How is it like sealing the wolf Juxu?.
“I respectfully ask Your Majesty to follow the example of the Ancient Saint King and seal Zen on Mount Tai.”
“With the merits of His Majesty and the prosperity of the Great Zhou.”
Li Gang’s words resounded loudly above the hall, which immediately triggered the echo of the ministers: “The ministers and others respectfully ask His Majesty to seal Mount Tai to show His Majesty’s merits in all generations!” ”
Every minister’s face was filled with pride and admiration. Proud because of their courtiers of the Great Zhou!
The Great Zhou Zhaowu Emperor Chai Hao conferred Mount Tai, and as the courtiers of the Great Zhou Zhaowu Dynasty, they will also engrave a monument with the current Holy Heavenly Son and become famous in history.
That’s Feng Zen Tarzan!
Since ancient times, it has been the highest honor in the eyes of the emperors.
Legend has it that since the beginning of the three emperors and five emperors in ancient times, Mount Tai was the place where successive emperors expressed their merits to heaven.
Not to mention the legendary three emperors and five emperors, it is said that since there are clear historical records, there are only a handful of emperors who have sealed Mount Tai! The first to consecrate Mount Tai was the reign of Qin Shi Huang, who ended the Spring and Autumn Warring States, ruled the world, and established the first unified empire!
The first emperor set up a five-color altar at the top of Mount Tai to sacrifice to the heavens, and set up an altar under Mount Liangfu at the foot of Mount Tai to sacrifice the earth.
Li Si, the prime minister of the Qin Empire, personally wrote an inscription recording the process of the First Emperor’s consecration and the accompanying heroes, and stood under the five great doctors of Mount Tai under the pine trees.
The second person to crown Mount Tai was Liu Che, the emperor of Hanwu.
In the era of Emperor Wudi of Han, although he exhausted the savings of the rule of Wen Jing and made the people of the Han dynasty live to the point of almost rebelling, he defeated the Xiongnu.
However, the military merits and strength of the Han Dynasty are also obvious to all. Emperor Wudi of Han appointed Wei Qinghuo to attack the Xiongnu in the north and strangled Shi Yanran.
Huo Qubing even sealed the heavens in the ancestral land of the Xiongnu Shan Yu, Wolf Juxu Mountain, highlighting the military prestige of the Great Han and leaving a beautiful talk of sealing Wolf Juxu. Emperor Wudi of Han also appointed Zhang Qian as an envoy to the Western Regions and hollowed out Hexi, so that the influence of the Han Empire reached the 36 countries of the Western Regions.
These two merits are also enough to raise Emperor Wudi of Han to the position of the first emperor of the ages, so Emperor Wudi of Han is the second to be crowned Mount Taishan after Qin Shi Huang.
Since Emperor Wudi of Han, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, the son of the Emperor of Han Guangwu, made the Great Han revival. As a result, Emperor Guangwu of Han also conferred Mount Tai of Chan, becoming the third emperor to confer Mount Tai of Chan.
Subsequently, starting from the Eastern Han Dynasty, until the end of the Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Two Jins, the Northern and Southern Dynasties, and the Sui Dynasty, the world has always been in turmoil, and no emperor has been able to completely subdue the heroes, surpassing the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, and no emperor has conferred Mount Tai.
Even Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty, and Li Shimin, who opened the beginning of the Tang Dynasty and ruled Zhenguan, did not confer Mount Tai.
Until Emperor Gaozong of Tang Li Zhi, on the basis of his father, opened the flourishing Tang of Yonghui’s rule, expanding the territory of the Great Tang to the desert Hanhai, the end of the Western Regions.
Let Sheng Tang’s control reach the area around Congling, so Tang Gaozong Li Zhi also sealed Zen in Mount Tai. This is the fourth emperor to be consecrated on Mount Tai.
Later, Li Zhi’s wife, Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in the ages, ascended the throne as a woman and became emperor, which can be regarded as an unprecedented person and no one after him, so Wu Zetian not only erected a wordless monument before his mausoleum, but also held a consecration ceremony.
It’s just that the place where Wu Zetian sealed Zen is not Mount Tai, but Song Mountain, which is close to the god capital Luoyang. Therefore, Wu Zetian is the fifth emperor to seal Zen, but not the fifth emperor to seal Mount Tai. After Wu Zetian, it was Tang Xuanzong Li Longji.
Li Longji worked hard in the early stage to govern and gave birth to the reign of Kaiyuan, which made the territory of the Tang Dynasty expand to the peak.
At that time, the Great Tang Dynasty only controlled the Imperial Protectorate outside the territory, and there were several. Among them, the Western Regions Frontier Mansion and the Beiting Dufu Protectorate, including the Western Regions and the Northern Court, from Hexi to Congling, are all vassal states of the Great Tang.
The Great Tang even set up a Congling Ridge to guard the Congling Ridge, and its sphere of influence stretched all the way across the Congling Ridge to the Hezhong and the area around Taros. Therefore, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Li Longji, with such merits, became the sixth emperor to seal Zen and the fifth emperor to seal Mount Tai. But it was also during Tang Xuanzong’s tenure that the Great Tang flourished and declined.
The reign of Kaiyuan allowed Tang Xuanzong to be crowned, but the Anshi Rebellion during the Tianbao period made Tang Xuanzong also a ridiculous emperor.
Since the Anshi Rebellion, the decline of the Tang Dynasty has been sluggish, not only the western regions of the Green Ridge Mountains, but also the Hexi Corridor and the Hetao area, which were also taken away by Tubo.
This was followed by the division of the clan and town, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and the establishment of the Zhao and Song dynasties.
For hundreds of years, there has never been an emperor in the world who is qualified to seal Mount Tai!
It is Zhao Kuangyin, the ancestor of the Song Dynasty who established the Zhao Song Dynasty and ended the melee of five generations and ten countries, and he is not qualified enough! But there is an outlier!
That is Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng!
Zhao Heng, the emperor, was no match for the Liao State, signed the Tan Yuan Alliance, and sent many years of coins to the Liao State every year.
However, he shamelessly believed that the Great Song under his rule was prosperous and peaceful, and he also wanted to emulate the emperors of the past and crown Mount Tai.
When this idea was first proposed, it was criticized by many people of insight.
To think that this Emperor Zhenzong is really a little too much
“I believed”, if I really went to Mount Tai to seal Zen, not only the Emperor Zhenzong, but also the Minister of Culture and Military Affairs of the Zhenzong Dynasty, would also lose face and would be ridiculed in the history books! ”
In fact, in the later original history, the consequences of Song Zhenzong’s consecration of Mount Taishan were far more serious than the ministers of the Song Dynasty imagined! Originally, in history, Emperor Ming Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang expelled the Tatars and restored the Central Plains, and had the merit of rebuilding China.
It is undoubtedly very qualified to be consecrated by Mount Tai.
Therefore, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty asked together to ask Emperor Taizu of Ming to confer Mount Tai.
Zhu Chongba was worthy of being a dragon among people, and immediately said: “Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng can seal Mount Tai like Zen Tai Shan like this.” ”
Taishan Feng Zen has long become a joke warehouse!
“Why should the people work and lose money, and run to Mount Tai to sacrifice to the heavens.”
Zhu Chongba’s words also said the consequences of Song Zhenzong’s consecration of Mount Tai…
That is Song Zhenzong’s Taishan Sealing Zen, which directly lowered the pressing and gold content of Taishan Sealing Zen. So that later emperors such as Zhu Yuanzhang and Kangxi Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty did not disdain Mount Tai to seal Zen!
Taishan Feng Zen, who even Zhu Yuanzhang and Kang Qian disdained, Chai Hao, the son of the Great Zhou Tianzi, how could he be willing to follow Song Zhenzong and reduce his value?
Therefore, in the face of the request of the Qunchen to seal Zen, Chai Hao smiled lightly and said: “With Emperor Zhenzong of Zhao and Song in front, sealing Zen Taishan is not enough to show the national prestige of my Great Zhou.” ”
“Only by sealing the wolf Juxu can I shine the prestige of my Great Zhou Kingdom thousands of miles away, so that the prosperity of my Great Zhou can be manifested in the history of youth!” Therefore, sealing Zen is okay, but not sealing Zen Mount Tai, but sealing Wolf Juxu! ”
