Chapter 98: Fengshan at Mount Tai!

The Qin Dynasty is extremely majestic!

Dominate the world!
We actually have to use cattails to protect the wheels to avoid damaging the mountains, rivers and plants?
Doesn't this just look like a servile coward?

The Qin Dynasty went to Fengshan, not to be anyone's grandson!
As the crown prince of the Qin Dynasty, Ying Ziye knew very well that this kingdom would belong to him in the future. How could he tolerate a group of Confucian scholars mocking the dignity of the Qin Dynasty?

This cannot be tolerated!
"Father, I have something to say!"

"I believe that your father has the virtues of the Three Sovereigns, his achievements surpass the Five Emperors, and he has accomplished great things for thousands of years. He should show his supreme dominance that sweeps across the world and the eight wastelands!"

"The mountains, rivers, grasses and trees should pave the way for our Great Qin. It is their honor to be trampled by the Great Qin caravan and witness the grand ceremony of Fengshan!"

Ying Ziye bluntly rejected the research proposals of Confucian scholars such as Chunyu Yue, Xunzi, and Funian. He could not tolerate the Qin Dynasty being so humble and cautious, even to heaven.

Ying Zheng was equally domineering, and his heart surged when he heard this! That’s right!
This is the majesty that an emperor should have!

All things in the world should bow down and submit. It is their honor to be the road to the empire's Fengshan!
"Prince, if you have any advice, please go ahead."

Ying Zheng was so excited by Ying Ziye's words that he no longer wanted to look at those Confucian scholars. He was eager to hear whether his son had any better ideas.

This second son is the most like him, even more so!

It is very likely that he would propose a Fengshan ceremony that suits his inner thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I don't think it's necessary to be so tedious!"

"My Great Qin follows the will of heaven, sweeps across the six kingdoms, and establishes its rule over the world. All we need to do is build a highway that leads directly to Mount Tai."

"First, we will climb to the top of Mount Tai from the sunny side and carve a stele to commemorate our father's great achievements and show his virtue of Fengshan. This is the Feng ceremony!"

"Secondly, we can go down from the top of Mount Tai and go directly to Mount Liangfu to hold a Zen ceremony, using the rituals that our Qin State uses to worship the Emperor of Heaven."

"In this way, the Fengshan Ceremony can be successfully completed!"

Ying Ziye recalled the Fengshan process recorded in history and elaborated on it in detail.

When Ying Zheng heard Ying Ziye's proposal, his eyes widened with surprise.

This is exactly what he hoped for!
It hit him straight in the heart!

"Great! Great! Great!"

"My son is extremely talented! This Fengshan ceremony seems to be tailor-made for our Great Qin Empire. It does not require many red tapes, but only needs to show the endless dominance of the Great Qin Empire!"

Ying Zheng clapped his hands repeatedly and applauded Ying Ziye's wisdom.

On the side.
Chunyu Yue and his Confucian disciples, who had originally been in high spirits, now looked livid, as if they had been slapped hard in the face.

Face!

A naked slap in the face!

They studied day and night just to present a grand sacrifice in front of Ying Zheng, but in the end, with just a few words from Ying Ziye, their dignity was lost and they were ruthlessly crushed!
They cannot swallow this humiliation and must save their face!

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Highness the Crown Prince's words must not be followed!"

"This move is against etiquette. Mount Tai is regarded as close to the sky and is respectfully called Tianshan. If we build large-scale projects on it, it will anger the gods and bring disaster!" Chunyu Yue shook his head repeatedly, firmly opposing Ying Ziye's proposal.

If Ying Zheng adopts it, the status of Confucianism in the court will plummet!
Faced with Chunyu Yue's opposition, Ying Zheng didn't care.

"snort!"

"Now the four seas are united, and the whole world is my territory!"

"Mount Tai is also the territory of the Qin Dynasty and should be used by the Qin Dynasty. There is no need to say more about this matter, just follow the prince's plan!" With a wave of his hand, Ying Zheng cut off the possibility of Chunyu Yue's further advice.

He has always been domineering and arbitrary, and has no liking for the cumbersome etiquette of Confucianism.

Wrapping the wheels with cattails?
Doesn't this belittle his status as the first emperor?
"I will take my leave now!"

No one dared to disobey Ying Zheng's orders, so Chunyu Yue and others had to withdraw sadly, with indignation and dissatisfaction written all over their faces.

They felt that Ying Zheng's actions were tantamount to a blatant insult to Confucianism!
"snort!"

"Return to Xiaoshengxianzhuang!"

After leaving the hall, Xunzi snorted coldly, turned around and left, feeling full of shame.

This time, he really lost all face!

“Brother.”

"Alas!!!" Chun Yuyue wanted to keep her but didn't know how to start. In the end, he could only let out a heavy sigh.

His wishful thinking was completely shattered!
Chunyu Yue originally hoped to use the power of Confucianism to plan the Fengshan ceremony in order to win the favor of Ying Zheng and enhance the status of Confucianism in the court.

Never thought about it.
However, the result went against one's will. Not only was Confucianism not appreciated, but the position of Confucianism in the court became even more embarrassing. It also caused Qin Shi Huang's contempt, which made him dislike Confucianism.

I feel like crying but I have no tears!

It can be predicted that the days of Confucianism in the court will become even more difficult!

……

A month later.

everything's ready.

Ying Zheng, accompanied by Crown Prince Ying Ziye, Prince Fusu, Prince Gao, Prince Jianglu, Prince Huhai, as well as many royal relatives, civil officials and military generals, set out for Mount Tai in a grand manner.

a few days later.

Everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain and began to climb from the south slope of Mount Tai, taking every step on stone steps.

Halfway through.

The sky was originally clear, but suddenly it was covered with dark clouds, strong winds arose, thunder roared, and heavy rain was about to pour down.

"Your Majesty, this is not good!"

"The gods are furious. Leave immediately and climb Mount Tai again on a reed cart another day!" Chunyu Yue was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly offered a suggestion.

In his opinion, this was God helping him!
This unpredictable climate seemed to indicate that God was dissatisfied with this Fengshan ceremony!

"Your Excellency Shangqing is right. We should withdraw!"

"Indeed! Indeed!"

"It is God's will. This kind of Fengshan is not accepted. Let's do it another day."

The Confucian scholars all agreed and discussed the matter, which made Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng's face as gloomy as a dark cloud and his heart was full of self-doubt.

Is it
Is it really God's will that this Fengshan ceremony is not allowed?

Do you think this is a blasphemy against God's majesty?
This sudden change shook Ying Zheng's confidence.

call!call!call!
Just as Ying Zheng was hesitating, the wind became stronger and stronger, raising yellow sand all over the sky, making everyone stagger and almost unable to open their eyes.

boom! Click!
A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, accompanied by the overwhelming pressure of thunder, as if announcing: This road is blocked! Ying Zheng clenched his fists, his eyes revealing an unwilling look.

I never expected to encounter such a situation!

Do I have to bow to this divine power? No!

I am Qin Shi Huang. Not even the Heaven can make me bow my knees!

"Send the order!"

"Keep moving forward, the Fengshan Ceremony will proceed as usual!" Ying Zheng gave a majestic order, his eyes revealing firm determination!
He, Ying Zheng, will never back down!
"His Majesty!"

"Don't do that! Don't do that!"

"Going against the will of Heaven will surely bring about punishment from Heaven!"

Chunyu Yue was stunned. He had never expected that under such circumstances, Ying Zheng would still insist on continuing the Fengshan ceremony. This was simply ridiculous!
Is he really not afraid of divine punishment?
"snort!"

"You Confucian scholars are only timid!"

"I am Qin Shi Huang, even the heavens cannot make me surrender!"

“Confucian scholars don’t need to participate!”

“The rest of you, keep going!”

Ying Zheng snorted angrily and without hesitation kept the Confucian officials where they were, not allowing them to participate in the Fengshan ceremony.

Damn
Chunyu Yue was stunned!

He never expected that Ying Zheng's determination was so firm that he would even ruthlessly abandon him!
How grand is the Fengshan Ceremony!

Royal relatives and civil and military officials gathered together. This is the symbol of the establishment of the empire!
Now that Confucianism has been excluded, how can it gain a foothold in the court in the future?

Once the order is given, no one dares to disobey.
