Chapter 397 Tianxuan: Canonizing a God, how joyful it is!

"Ugh!"

Zheng Ge, who was originally ready to raise an army to hold someone accountable, thought of the concubines in the harem, including Madam Ziyu, the mother of Tianxuan, and all the women he had in his life. He went over all the women in his mind, including Tianxuan's mother, and discovered with sadness that none of these women were worthy of the identity of the reincarnation of the Queen Mother of the West.

Involuntarily, a feeling of sadness swept through Zheng Ge's body and mind, turning into a heavy sigh.

With a sigh, Zheng Ge thought of his mother, Zhao Ji, who wanted a lover instead of him. A look of helplessness emerged from the bottom of his heart, and he sat back on the dragon throne.

"Father," Tianxuan, who was standing in the palace, saw the helplessness on Zhengge's face and comforted him, "I think that instead of worrying about why I didn't make it clear in the end of the prehistoric world and let you become the reincarnation of Lord Haotian, you should do what you should do and let the Great Qin Empire prosper in your hands."

"In this way, thousands of years from now, there will be people who are interested in you and claim that you are the reincarnation of Lord Haotian. With word of mouth spreading and everyone believing in you, even if you fail to achieve immortality, you can still achieve another kind of eternal life!"

"That's right." Tianxuan's words were like a revelation, breaking Zhengge's mind out of the prehistoric world. Before he finished speaking, the helplessness on Zhengge's face disappeared, replaced by a majestic vigor, "Even though I didn't achieve immortality while I was alive. But, as long as I am good enough, I will gain the faith of the people and live forever!"

faith!

According to the setting of Tianxuanzhihonghuang, as long as anyone can gain faith, his soul will be immortal at best, and he may even become a god and be immortal!

"Father," Tianxuan heard that even Brother Zheng believed in some of his settings in the prehistoric world, and that being a good emperor, gaining the faith of the people, and achieving immortality of the soul were his only options after failing to achieve immortality in this world. He thought to himself, "Your Highness has an idea."

"There are many famous mountains, rivers, villages and hills in the empire. According to the report of the Night Owl spies, since the prehistoric times became popular, the common people in the world have begun to build land temples, mountain temples, city god temples, river god temples, etc. in various places to seek spiritual sustenance and pray for the protection of the gods. In this case, why can't the Great Qin bring these grassroots temples under the control of the empire?"

"For example, if a soldier from a mountain village died fighting bravely for the empire, the empire could grant him the land of the local area, so that he can enjoy the incense of future generations. In addition to canonizing the soldiers who served the Great Qin, those civil officials who devoted their lives to the Great Qin should not be forgotten and can also be canonized. Finally, virtuous officials like Wu Zixu and Qu Yuan, who never served the empire but were famous for their loyalty and courage, should not be let go. They should be directly canonized as river gods and river gods of the rivers that died for their country!"

"That's a good idea."

After hearing what Tianxuan said, Zheng Ge showed some interest.

"Father, I think this is inappropriate." Fusu retorted, "What my fourth brother said can certainly further appease the civil and military officials who serve the empire, but building these temples will indeed put a lot of pressure on the empire's finances."

"Brother, when did I say that the empire would pay for the construction of these temples?"

Seeing Fusu come out to refute, Tianxuan sighed in his heart, knowing that this brother who was once as close as a brother to him had turned against him. Even though he had been mentally prepared, at that moment, Tianxuan still felt a little disappointed.

"Father, you only need to issue an imperial edict to announce to the world that anyone who has served the empire, whether civil or military, and has made many contributions, will be named the God of the Land, Mountain, or City of their hometown after their death. For example, the gods of the Five Mountains and Five Lakes, which are famous mountains and rivers in the world, must be conferred by the emperor himself. In addition, the lords of counties in Handan, Linzi, Daliang, and other famous cities in the world, will also be conferred by the emperor himself. As for the gods of the land and mountain in small places, the local people will compare their achievements and select the one with the greatest achievements. The county magistrate will confer the title of the God of the Land, and the county governor will confer the title of the City God of the county."

"The people of Guizhou have no faith. All we need is a document to make public the achievements of these land gods, mountain gods, and city gods. They will build a temple on their own. There is no need to stipulate the specifications of the temple. People will flock to it!"

Immortality!

This is undoubtedly the highest pursuit in life. With immortality, there will be enough time and energy to pursue everything you want: power, strength, wealth, etc.!

The soul is immortal!

It is the second pursuit after immortality. If the soul can be immortal after death and enjoy the offerings of the world, wouldn’t it be great! "Yes!"

Tianxuan's proposal hit Zheng Ge's weak spot. After hearing his words, Zheng Ge's eyes sparkled, and endless waves rose from his eyes, and his heart surged. After a few breaths of silence, he uttered a word.

Swish!
After saying this, Zheng took out an empty black dragon scroll and started writing on the blank paper with a brush dipped in ink. For a moment, the only sound in the Four Seas Return to One Hall was the sound of the brush tip scratching on the paper.

The brothers Tianxuan and Fusu, who were quietly waiting for Zhengge to write the imperial edict, still didn't know why Zhengge had called them here. They looked at each other, expressing their thoughts with their eyes, and started an alternative communication.

"Fourth brother, I must admit that you came up with a good idea. Once this edict is issued, the cohesion of the empire will be further enhanced!"

"Thank you for the compliment, brother."

"But don't you think this will make witchcraft more prevalent in the empire?"

'Brother, some things are unavoidable. If a person is hungry, he can eat; but the spiritual emptiness can only be relieved by faith.'

'yes? '

'Of course. Otherwise, why do you think my Honghuang is so popular among people all over the world!'

……

When Tianxuan and Fusu exchanged glances, Zhengge had finished writing the imperial edict. With a crisp sound, the brush stained with ink was hung back on the pen holder by Zhengge.

"Fusu, Tianxuan," after writing down an edict that could further rally the hearts of the people in the empire, Zheng Ge's expression became stern as he looked at his two most outstanding sons standing in the hall, "I have called you here today because I have a very important task to entrust to you."

"Please give your orders, Father!"

After hearing what Zheng Ge said, Tianxuan and Fusu no longer cared about the secret battle, and faced the black-clad emperor on the throne at the same time, with their heads lowered, waiting for orders.

"I plan to offer sacrifices to the gods at Mount Tai!" Zheng Ge said in a deep voice, his tone filled with endless solemnity.

Boom!
As soon as the four words "Fengshan Taishan" were uttered, Tianxuan and Fusu's expressions suddenly changed.

Mount Tai, formerly known as "Daishan" and "Daizong", was renamed "Mount Tai" in the Spring and Autumn Period. Mount Tai is adjacent to Qufu, the hometown of Confucius, in front and Jinan, the city of springs, in the back. It rises majestically in the east of the North China Plain and towers over the Qilu Plain. It faces the sea in the east, the Yellow River in the west, and the waters of Wen, Si and Huai in the south. It is majestic and majestic, known as the No. 1 mountain in the world and the first of the Five Sacred Mountains. It is majestic and magnificent, towering over the treacherous Huashan Mountain in the west, the beautiful Hengshan Mountain in the south, the quiet Hengshan Mountain in the north, and the precipitous Songshan Mountain in the middle!

There is no mountain bigger than it, but there is no ancient mountain like it!
Mount Tai is majestic and has a rich history, dating back to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period in ancient times. It is a place close to the gods.

"The sky is too high to be reached, so we set up a Zen statue on Mount Tai and offer sacrifices to it in the hope of getting closer to the gods."

It was recorded in Guanzi Fengshan: "In the past, Wuhuai offered sacrifices to Mount Tai and performed Zen; Fuxi offered sacrifices to Mount Tai and performed Zen; Shennong offered sacrifices to Mount Tai and performed Zen; Huangdi offered sacrifices to Mount Tai and performed Zen; Yao offered sacrifices to Mount Tai and performed Zen; Yu offered sacrifices to Mount Tai..."
