Bao Daren stepped into the temple, and the big stone stele with the word "Shame" in Li Gang's handwriting was in his eyes. The blood-red font was very strong, which made people almost intuitively appreciate Li Gang's day. When writing this word, that kind of resentment, that kind of anger, the kind of man who can't wait to lift his spear and prancing horse immediately, and lick his head with pain.
It is not the first time that Bao Daren has come here. Every time he reads the word "shame" in this book full of blood, he always couldn't help but scream for that bloody blood. However, Now he stood silent for a moment in front of this "shame" monument, but only sighed slightly.
The mountains and rivers are still scattered, but in Lin'an there are ying, singing, and swallowing dances. How many people can still remember the word that Li Gangxiang used his life's hard work on that day
After Li Gang Sang-gong entered the power of the dynasty that day, he built this festival and erected this "shame" monument as the most important first thing to do, because of his disposition between monarchs and ministers. Seeing too clearly, he was distressed, he was angry, and he was afraid.
He was afraid that before long, this small Jiangnan court from top to bottom would forget the pain that should have been unforgettable in a lifetime.
Therefore, he built the Temple of Lie Xianliang, erected a monument with the word "Shame", and played the emperor's official family. The emperor's official family should lead the civil and military officials and bring the fathers and old squires in Lin'an city to pay their sacrifices.
He would constantly remind them not to forget Jiangbei, not to forget the original Song Dynasty, not to forget the roar of Bianliang City that night, and the cry of blood and tears of fathers and brothers that night.
Knowing shame is close to courage. As long as the emperor and civil and military officials in Lin'an city, as long as the people of the Song Dynasty in the southern half of the Yangtze River, can remember the national humiliation and family feud, then the Song Dynasty will be able to recover this blood debt from the Jurchens. .
The Song Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. In that day, the emperor’s official family had not long been given the throne, and his father and brother were taken captive by the Jurchens. It is an iron fact that he does not know his life or death, so he did not dare to express the Lord’s agreement. There is no reason to oppose Li Gang’s proposal. Although Li Gang was dismissed, the provision of sacrifice at the time was passed down after all. It’s just that since the court is full of the atmosphere of whitewashing peace for joy, This so-called ritual in which the emperor led hundreds of officials and country gentry to make sacrifices to Jielie Zhongliang Shrine in shame has gradually become a formality.
I’m afraid that even the historian can’t remember how many years Zhao Gou hadn’t been to this place. It’s just that Taichang Temple issued an edict every year, stating that because the emperor’s affairs were busy, the special committee and modern ministers would go there on behalf of the emperor. Today Bao Daren came, but because he was in the position of living and living, he replaced the emperor official and came to hold this shameful sacrifice ceremony.
In the past, even Bao Daren himself did not pay much attention to these rituals that have gradually become formal. However, these days, he has gone through the process of presiding over the two additional donations. In Lin'an, I personally experienced the indifference of the people in Lin'an for the hatred of the country and the family, and personally tasted the warmth and warmth of the human relationship. This time, standing in front of this blood-red "shame" monument again, he has a completely different state of mind.
He finally realized how far-sighted the old man Li Gang was. As early as decades ago, he had predicted that such a situation would occur in Lin'an City, and even the entire Song Dynasty, which was shrinking in a corner of the south of the Yangtze River.
Even he had already guessed that at such a moment, this blood-red "shame" stone monument in this festival of virtuous cultivators will inevitably be in such a sloppy situation today.
However, he still wants to write the word "shame" in capitals. He still wants to erect this Jielie Xianliang Temple, because he wants to let future generations know that after all, there have been some seniors, and the blood is hot because he wants it. The "Shame" monument and this jielie xianliang shrine can boil some of the leaks that the descendants have not yet been completely cold.
Bao Daren stood silently in front of the blood-red "shame" stone tablet for a moment, and silently prayed, and then he stepped forward to the inner temple dedicated to the sages who had shed blood and beheaded in order to resist Jurchen.
Originally, he made sacrifices on behalf of the emperor's official family, and there was a ritual for the emperor's official family. However, since many years ago, the emperor's official family no longer regarded the sacrifice to this festival of Lie Xianliang Temple as a matter. Later, Taichang Temple tried to think about it. , But it is also for years to suppress worship, simplify the ritual, and try to dilute this "shameful sacrifice" ritual to nothing.
After all, everyone knows that, although the emperor official is now in a corner, he always likes to be the ancestor of Zhongxing. This kind of "shame" ritual is no less than the ritual of the emperor's official with Taiping. She slapped her face when she got up. How could Taichang Temple be so ignorant to do such a thing? !
If it weren't for the word "filial piety" in the meantime, I'm afraid it would have been a unity of one heart and a will to abolish this untimely thing.
What's more, now the Lin'an city is surging, and there are departments in various ministries, but most of them have ignored affairs. If it were not because of the Taichang Temple’s yamen, they were only the Shimizu officials in charge of the halogen ceremonies. It is not those who can borrow from the law of the country. Comparable to the criminal and prison courts who practice selfishly, the Taichangqing Hu Buye, who is in charge of Taichang Temple, is also an old man over seventy years old. He has never been deeply involved in civil and military disputes above the court. I'm afraid that the "shameful sacrifice" that should be enshrined in this festival has long been thrown out of the cloud by the big guy.
However, Liu Qi, who is currently the main director of Lin'an Defense, admires this festival. He said that he would come with him to pay the sacrifices. It was only at this time that the army was on duty in various ministries in Lin'an, and Qin Hui and Yue Fei were both detained. In the palace, Liu Qi essentially became the final adjudicator of all matters of Lin'an City. He wanted to maintain the current temporary peace and balance until the emperor’s official return. The change happened in an instant, so at this time Liu Qi can be described as a multi-faceted, multi-faceted, even if there is no longer a yearning in his heart, it may not be able to make it, so Bao Daren saw that he was not here, but did not bother him again.
The emcee of the ancestral hall opened the tall main entrance of the inner hall for him, and he bowed himself respectfully, retired, and closed the hall door again, but retreated outside the main entrance of the ancestral hall and waited.
Although Bao Daren's official status is still low, but at this time, he is nominally paying tribute to the emperor. Although he should be simple, he is still not to be taken lightly.
The dark gate of the temple isolates the noise of the outside world. The weather is already gloomy and difficult to see. At this time, it is only the eternal light in front of the sacred platform and the candlelights on both sides of the memorial tablet. Kind of solemnity.
This is also an important part of the "Shameful Sacrifice" ceremony originally formulated by Li Gang. Originally, it should have been visited by the emperor official family and stayed in claustrophobia for an hour in this hall. The original intention was to make the emperor official and these festivals fierce. Zhongliang was alone, thinking about their deeds and lives, listening to their silent narration, but at this time Zhao Gou had not come for many years. After Bao Daren was promoted to the living room, he was the first time he performed this ritual instead of the emperor. Don't dare to be sloppy.
He stepped forward respectfully, picked up the incense stick in front of the sacred platform, lit it with a candle, and held it upright in front of his forehead, and was about to pray silently. Suddenly, there was a voice that permeated from Jiuyou. It came out from below, calling out softly: "Bao Daren... Bao Daren..."
