"Your Majesty, this is a blessing for the Tang Dynasty, and for the entire world. Your Majesty's fate is linked to the Tang Dynasty, and the Fengshan ceremony is both morally and rationally indispensable. It will both demonstrate Your Majesty's virtue and stabilize the foundation of the nation. We, your servants, earnestly request Your Majesty's approval and do not let down this prosperous era and the hopes of our subjects."
Seeing the civil and military officials acting like this, the little princess gave up.
The little princess completed what Li Shimin had not completed on behalf of Li Shimin and Li Chengqian.
The little princess then agreed.
He asked Di Renjie and Chu Suiliang to arrange the specific matters and also instructed them to keep everything simple.
Now it is much faster to get from Chang'an City to Mount Tai, and you can drive a car.
There is no need to walk there, there are thousands of buses in the parking lot of Chang'an City of the Tang Dynasty.
You just need to prepare the oil and other things in advance.
It is really convenient for the current Tang Dynasty. The transportation and means of transportation are incomparable to those in the early Zhenguan period.
It just takes some time to prepare, not because there are a lot of things needed, but because we have to wait for other people.
There will be representatives from all over the world.
The Tang Dynasty could send a telegram to announce it to the world, which was very fast, but it would take too long for others to run to Mount Tai.
There are actually not many areas with convenient transportation. Transportation is only convenient in China, while roads are still being built in other places that are too far away.
Just wait a few months.
According to the appointed time, the little princess led most of the officials and royal family members to Mount Tai.
All buses.
Xiao Ran and his companions drove a specially customized oversized RV. Since there were so many people, they prepared several RVs.
It is convenient for the little princess and others to rest.
As for the others, they can only set up tents.
If you pass by a city, you can go in and rest. There are no cities in most places.
This is when the advantages of RVs come into play.
The local people and officials had already been waiting near Mount Tai.
Many people want to see the little princess.
I dare not say that the little princess’s popularity among the people is comparable to that of Li Shimin, but it is definitely higher than that of Li Chengqian.
When the little princess and UNICEF were on the banknotes, everyone basically knew about it.
This is set up for ordinary people, and rich families don’t have it.
Ordinary families who have had children in the past decade or so have all enjoyed the benefits provided by the little princess.
If the people really benefit from it, they will naturally remember the little princess' kindness.
When the little princess ascended the throne, the diehards opposed it, but the ordinary people basically had no objection, as it was what the people wanted.
The little princess's convoy had just arrived at the post station at the foot of Mount Tai. Countless people gathered nearby, all wanting to see the empress.
The only female emperor since Yao, Shun and Yu.
The little princess did not put on airs. She not only met with the people, but also gave speeches, being very approachable.
When the Fengshan ceremony started, the little princess led everyone and the team marched towards Mount Tai in a mighty manner.
After arriving at the foot of Mount Tai, the emperor would perform rituals such as fasting to cleanse his body, calm his mind, and express his piety to heaven and earth.
During the climbing process, the team climbed in an orderly manner.
The team was led by Li Zhi, Di Renjie and others.
The little princess Xiao Ran and others, plus Cheng Yaojin, Li Ji and Changsun Wuji took a helicopter!
Knowing that there was no cable car to reach Nantianmen at that time, we arranged a helicopter early.
Consider some elderly people.
When everyone arrived, the Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai officially began.
Arriving at the top of Mount Tai, they built an altar to worship the Lord of Heaven.
The little princess, dressed in a crown and robes, ascended the altar, placed the jade tablet and jade book containing the sacrificial text into a stone box, sealed it, and placed it on the altar built in advance, while offering sacrifices.
Afterwards, the little princess led all the ministers in kneeling and bowing, lighting incense and candles, and playing music. The ceremony was solemn and dignified.
A microphone had been prepared on the altar long ago, and the noise here could be heard by people within a radius of dozens of miles.
The little princess picked up the eulogy:
In the seventh year of Fengyi, Emperor Li Mingda of the Tang Dynasty respectfully declared to the gods of Mount Tai and his ancestors:
The world is vast, and only the Tang Dynasty exists!
Dominating the four seas and spanning seven continents!
All under heaven belongs to the Tang Dynasty, and all the people in the world are Tang’s subjects!
In the past, Emperor Gaozu rose up, founded the kingdom, established his capital in Guanzhong, overcame all obstacles, and heralded the beginning of the Tang Dynasty.
Emperor Taizong carried on the past and opened up the future. He was virtuous and implemented benevolent policies, recruited talented people and implemented grand plans. He led an army of powerful people, swept across the world, expanded his power, and laid the unshakable foundation for the Tang Dynasty.
The Supreme Emperor inherited the lofty ambitions of his fathers and displayed his heroic bravery. Wherever the battle flags pointed, all was Tang territory; wherever the ships went, all was under the king's rule.
In the east, we defeated the invaders from Fusang, in the west, we quelled the disturbances caused by the various Hu peoples, in the south, we stabilized the borders of the barbarians, and in the north, we drove out the dangers caused by the Diyi people. As a result, the prestige of the Tang Dynasty shocked people far and wide, and all the people were subdued.
As a woman, I will inherit the great cause of my father and brothers, care about the world, and be determined to innovate.
With the blessing of Heaven and the unity of the people, we have implemented good policies in all directions, cultivated new crops to fill the granaries, imparted science and technology to strengthen the military, and established schools to cultivate talents.
Thanks to this military achievement and civil governance, the world has been unified, the government has been unified, and the cultural system has been unified. This is truly a prosperous era unprecedented in history and a great achievement unheard of in history!
I have now ascended the summit of Mount Tai to offer this sacrifice and wine, respectfully presenting my request and praying to God to protect our Great Tang, bring everlasting prosperity, and bestow blessings upon the world.
May peace prevail throughout the world, the people live in happiness, the glory of China shine upon the world, and we enjoy eternal tranquility!
Enjoy! 】
The people were dressed in simple clothes, all facing the direction of Mount Tai, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing.
Hearing the memorial's review of the glorious history of the Tang Dynasty, from Emperor Gaozu's courage in raising an army, Emperor Taizong's achievements in both civil and military affairs, the retired emperor's heroic campaigns, to the empress's reforms, and the present Tang Dynasty's feat of unifying the country and benefiting the world, their eyes were filled with pride and excitement.
There was a moment of silence, as if everyone was reminiscing about these turbulent years, and then a deafening shout erupted:
