Chapter 381: Praise and Revelation
silence!
Deathly silence!
The emotion of silence is contagious. Even those who were far away from the altar and did not witness the scene with their own eyes remained silent.
Liu Che stared blankly at the brand new bamboo slip without any signs of burning. It was clearly cool, but he felt it was extremely hot.
Great is Qian Yuan!
Great is Qian Yuan!
Yuanshi, Yuanshi, Yuanshi.
Just like a person holding up water and pouring it into his brain, these two words kept rushing into his mind and then completely defeated the word "Taichu".
Su Wang, no, the most supreme, holy and supreme Shang Huang Tian, are you really sitting high above the nine heavens, looking down on the human world?
Was it really me who was appointed by Heaven and born to rule the people of the world?
Liu Che was shocked, stunned and numb. As a man who had been a middle school boy all his life, countless thoughts were churning in his mind.
The ministers closest to the stage all had astonished expressions on their faces, and judging by their expressions, they probably thought they were dazzled.
I'm not seeing things. Could it be that King Su really sent down the bamboo slips of revelation?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
This is what the ministers thought in their hearts.
Jia Yi and Dong Zhongshu were right next to Liu Che and saw the whole process very clearly. They saw with their own eyes that the bamboo slips thrown in by Liu Che turned into ashes in an instant, they saw with their own eyes a bamboo slip appear out of thin air and then fall into the hands of the emperor, and they could even vaguely see the words on it. Seeing the entire process in its entirety, one can imagine the shock they felt.
The two of them simultaneously turned their gazes to Luo Jing beside them, especially Dong Zhongshu. He still remembered that Dong'a Hou Luo Jing had just told him not long ago that they should respect ghosts and gods but keep a distance from them, that talents are the basis of everything, and that the King Su has been in a deep sleep and would not wake up most of the time.
That’s it?
There was no shock on Luo Jing's face, but rather one full of appreciation. He stared at the Tongtian Ding quite seriously, examining it carefully, as if there were gorgeous flowers blooming on the tripod, or as if it was an extremely precious work of art.
quiet.
The atmosphere at the scene was so quiet that it could not be described with words. The only word that could be used is weird, which might be more appropriate.
People often use the word tranquility to describe the quietness of an environment.
Now, there is no peace in Su Wang Mausoleum, only tranquility, just like hot water that is calm on the surface but has already been boiling inside.
If someone saw this scene, they would definitely feel extremely distressed.
Because the scene was obviously very quiet, but it gave people a noisy feeling, as if the extreme noise was in this silence.
This is what is meant by the saying “the great elephant has no form, the great sound has no voice”!
“Bang!”
Finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure of such silence and knelt on the ground. Just like the first domino falling, a chain reaction occurred instantly. The moment he knelt, the sound of kneeling continued to be heard, and almost everyone knelt down in a short period of time.
Liu Che looked at this scene in confusion. Previously, he felt that the kneeling of the people was like a tide, but now it was like a tsunami, surging in with the mighty power of mountains and rivers, making his spirit tremble.
Luo Jing had almost counted all the patterns on the Tongtian Ding. If he continued counting, he would have to count the bumps and depressions on the tripod. Everyone in Su Wang's Mausoleum had been shocked for a long time.
Now it's my turn to show up. After the shock, I still have to finish it.
Luo Jing crossed his hands, bowed his head, knelt on one knee, and said loudly: "The King of Su has sent down the revelation from heaven. This is a blessing to the Han Dynasty. I congratulate Your Majesty. Your Majesty should read the revelation from heaven to your subjects to correct the people's hearts."
Luo Jing's words were like loud bells and drums, completely waking the shocked and numb Liu Che from his confusion, and then ecstasy burst out from the bottom of his heart.
The King of Vegetarian!
King Su actually responded to my sacrifice to heaven. Doesn’t this prove that I am truly the Son of Heaven?
My rule is in accordance with the laws of nature!
The middle school soul in Liu Che's body immediately started to work. He held his head high, feeling that he had surpassed most of the emperors, because I had received the revelation from the Su King, and you had not.
Liu Che raised the bamboo slips in his hand high and said in a loud voice: "The Supreme Emperor Su Wang has sent down a revelation from heaven to inform the subjects of the world. Great is Qian Yuan, the origin of all things, the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Yuan Shi. I ascended the throne as the first year of Yuan Shi, and today is the third year of Yuan Shi. Announce it to the world, let everyone hear it, spread it across the mountains and rivers, and spread it to all the barbarians."
[The year number you selected has appeared in this world. This is the first year number of the Xia Dynasty. It will forever bear your traces. You have gained some luck from Liu Che, a very special historical figure. The value cannot be calculated. Please check.]
Ji Zhao's real body did not wake up, but his soul received the message. Ji Zhao was quite interested in Liu Che. After all, the Qin Emperor and Han Wudi had always appeared in parallel.
The two people are indeed too similar. In terms of personality, both of them are somewhat autocratic, which is a common point among outstanding emperors in history. In terms of achievements, one built a unified body, and the other promoted the idea of unification. There is no one who is higher or lower.
In terms of personal ability, whether it is the policy of governing the country or the judgment of the domestic and foreign war situations, they are all relatively accurate. Even his desire for elixirs and immortality is exactly the same. It is truly a wonderful creation of the world.
Before the death of the First Emperor, Ji Zhao went to meet him and acknowledged his achievements. Now, it depends on what Liu Che, who is facing a completely different situation, can achieve. Between him and the Emperor Wu of Han in history, who has higher achievements and greater merits? Is he qualified to meet him?
By the way, it was just like playing tricks on the First Emperor, telling him that there was no elixir of immortality in the world, and that he could not become a god after his death. Thinking of that scene, even Ji Zhao, who was extremely divine, couldn't help but feel a little interested.
Sitting in Zhaocheng, Luo Ling suddenly felt that his family's heritage had become deeper, and then he felt a slight tremor in the depths of his soul. He felt Ji Zhao's slight fluctuation, and was slightly surprised. Then he cast his eyes towards Guanzhong and whispered softly: "Did something big happen in Guanzhong? It actually attracted the attention of the ancestor?"
But the fluctuations soon calmed down, which proved that Ji Zhao was no longer paying attention to it. Luo Ling also put his mind at ease and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
Turning his sight back to the Mausoleum of King Su, Liu Che was still loudly announcing the revelation he had received. Before he had finished speaking, an almost overwhelming sound of chanting rang out from the Mausoleum of King Su.
As the first person spoke, everyone around him followed suit instantly. In just a few breaths, everyone in the Su Wang Mausoleum started singing in unison.
Those musicians had never felt so full of power as they did at this moment. They put all their emotions into praising the Supreme King.
"The spirit of the Su Wang is in heaven, your glorious name will live forever!"
This is the first section of the hymn, which praises Ji Zhao's various achievements and virtues. It is a pure eulogy to the emperor. This section is extremely long, and countless images that are considered noble are integrated into it.
"The spirit of the Su King is in heaven, may his descendants enjoy longevity and happiness!"
This is the second part of the hymn, praying to Ji Zhao to protect his descendants, bestow blessings and longevity. It is a beautiful wish and a very long wish.
"The spirit of the Su Wang is in heaven, granting great light to the gentleman!"
At this point it becomes a variety of more illusory blessings, and they are directed at kings and others, bestowing light, virtue, and so on.
"The spirit of the Su Wang is in heaven, and the glory of the Xia will last for thousands of years!"
This is the ending of almost all hymns to the emperor, which has a sense of "I am so fortunate that I will sing it."
Until the song of praise was finished, everyone's hearts and minds were still not at peace. It was really that King Su had not truly appeared in the world for too long. It had always been Zhao Gongling, the god on earth. This was why Luo Ling had such a high status. In the era when King Su gradually disappeared, he was the pinnacle of all the gods in the world.
However, no matter how powerful Zhao Gong was in summoning the wind and rain, driving thunder and lightning, and even deciding the destiny of the emperor to some extent according to legend, he was still far inferior to Su Wang. If Su Wang was the emperor, then Zhao Gong was the prime minister. How could the prime minister be compared with the emperor?
This was the first time in many years that King Su had performed miracles in a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven. How could everyone not be excited? This proved that King Su might have awakened from his deepest slumber.
After Liu Che finished his announcement, he asked Luo Jing on the altar: "Dong'e Hou, has Su Wang Shang Huang Tian awakened and started to control the movement of heaven, and is he going to bestow blessings, wealth and longevity on the world?"
He didn't know what his mood was at the moment, and didn't know what answer he wanted to hear. If King Su really woke up, he, the emperor, would really become a son. This was different from the existence of Duke Zhao. Duke Zhao was visible, but King Su was illusory.
Everyone was looking at Luo Jing with burning eyes. If those eyes had any aura, Luo Jing might even be looked at with murderous intent. However, Luo Jing's expression remained unchanged. He first raised his hand and saluted toward the sky, and then bowed in the direction of Zhaocheng.
Then he slowly said: "Your Majesty, I really don't know. I am just a son in the family. Lord Zhaogong is the head of the family. He has supernatural powers and can communicate with the ancestor Su Wang. His words can reach the heaven directly.
If you want to know the current situation of our ancestor King Su, Your Majesty can send an envoy to Zhaocheng to pay a visit to Lord Zhaogong."
No one expected that Luo Jing would be so formal, and in the end he just said he didn't know, and even went to Zhaocheng to ask.
What a scam!
————
In the third year of Yuanshi, the emperor offered sacrifices to Su Wang to the Heaven with the posthumous title of a king or marquis. He also took Taichu as the year and offered sacrifices to Su Wang. The tablets of Taichu turned into ashes. Su Wang did not agree, so he gave the divine tablets of heaven to the emperor, saying: "Great is Qian Yuan, the source of all things, so he is called Yuanshi."
The emperor bowed three times and held up the tablet, saying: "This is the Han Dynasty's divine gift."
All the ministers were pleased and supported the emperor, who began to use Yuanshi as the reign title. This rule remained unchanged until his death.
