Chapter 829 I will rebel against anyone who doesn’t let me celebrate the wax festival! The unparalleled ambition to rise and destroy a country!
Four days later.
Yingzheng stood in the southern suburbs of Xianyang City and personally presided over the sacrifices to heaven and earth, officially opening the curtain of the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
Then Ying Zheng rushed to the four regions non-stop, offering sacrifices to the four emperors in order to pray for good weather.
What is unexpected by everyone in the world, but also within reason, is that this time, it is not just the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty who are offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, but also the sun, moon, Taibai, Suixing and other ten The four minister gods, Sihai, Erbasu and other heavenly gods, also promoted the heavenly gods and earth dragons to the rank of minister gods, and even directly listed Zhu Rong, who was not in the Great Qin Festival, as a minister god!
What is beyond everyone's expectation, and even more beyond their understanding, is that when Ying Zheng stepped into the altar, not only did Ying Chenglong follow him, the Queen Mother Huayang stood on the altar and watched, but there was also Da The Queen Mother of Qin and the Queen Mother of Huayang stood side by side on the yin side of the altar, looking at Ying Zheng with kind eyes!
After offering sacrifices to heaven and earth, Ying Zheng even roasted the red calf used in the sacrifice and then cut off a piece of beef brisket with his own hands and gave it to the Queen Mother!
A wax festival that should have been ordinary was like a boulder smashing into the world, causing ripples!
One month later.
November 1st, the 15th year of King Qin’s reign.
Zouxian County.
More than twenty men, women and children, carrying large and small bags on their shoulders, walked out of the market happily and exchanged loudly:
"After a year of hard work, we can finally celebrate the twelfth lunar month!"
"Yes, yes, our baby returned triumphantly even though he didn't get a title in this battle. Let's celebrate!"
"Mom, I want to eat honey bean curd cake!" ”
"Hahaha~ Today is the festival, it must be a happy one, my mother bought it for you!"
Looking at the composition of the people, we can tell that these are five families who belong to the same family, and may even be separated from one big family. of five small families.
Everyone’s face is filled with the joy of the New Year, and everyone is talking and laughing about the happy events of the December Festival.
However, a passing legal official frowned slightly and shouted in a deep voice: "Stop!"
Stop and the legal official looked at the twenty or so people with an unkind look: " What do you want to do today?"
The joy on the faces of the more than 20 people suddenly disappeared. The leader, an old man, carefully raised his hands and said: "Sir, sir, the reason why I came to the city this time is to buy cloth and fat, so that I can have a good life as a wax sacrifice."
< br>The official’s voice was a little louder: “The wax festival?”
“It’s been a month since the wax festival!”
“It was only the first day of the lunar month in my country, the wax festival. , It’s already November 1st, how can you celebrate the twelfth lunar month today!”
The old man said in astonishment, “But we have been doing the twelfth lunar month for so many years!”
The legal official said solemnly: "In the past, you were ministers of other countries, and you should obey the Zhengshuo of other countries."
"However, now you are the people of our great Qin, and our great Qin's true and right Shuo is ours." It’s October 1st!”
“As early as the 13th year of the Qin Dynasty, when Zoucheng was attached to the Qin Dynasty, the county government sent many officials to the villages to inform all the Guizhou leaders in Zouxian County that the twelfth lunar month festival would be held on October 1st. . "
" Last year, I thought about the new addition to Zouxian County. The county only warned but did not punish the unjust sacrifices. This is the magnanimity of our great Qin! "
"But, Ru! Not only are they not grateful for Da Qin’s kindness, but they still disobey me, Da Qin Zhengshuo, and they openly make noise in the city.”
"Follow me and return to the county office, and let the county magistrate decide the punishment!"
It is the beginning of the year, and the new moon is the beginning of the month. It is said that the king will take over the government, and it means that it starts with me!
The calendar and Zhengshuo have never been just used to calculate dates and judge agricultural times, they also represent the orthodox ruling status of the king at that time!
When a country rules a territory, the country does not need to care about the customs of the people in the territory, or the language the people in the territory speak or write.
During the implementation of the interim law in the new district, even some illegal and criminal activities can be turned a blind eye.
But Zhengshuo and the calendar must be unified!
To put it more simply, if each locality follows its own year, then the first day of October in the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty in Xianyang City will become the first day of January in the fifteenth year of the Qin Dynasty in Shouchun City. , it was implemented in Zouxian County on October 1, the fourteenth year of the Qin Dynasty.
Is it possible that Ying Zheng was reviewing the memorials while converting dates according to more than a hundred calendars?
Even if Ying Zheng and his courtiers are not driven crazy by various calendar changes, the date data in Wang Ling is likely to be distorted by someone who wants to use the differences between calendars to deceive and deceive local officials. The imperial edict created an extremely generous space for rebellion!
To put it more seriously, if Zhengshuo does not recognize Da Qin, he does not recognize Ying Zheng as their king, and he does not recognize Da Qin’s dominance!
So not to mention the Qin Dynasty, which originally pursued unification, even Liu Bang, who made three chapters of the agreement, also required all localities to abide by the Zhengshuo he formulated!
After the reprimand, the law official's voice slowed down a bit: "Fortunately, Zouxian County is still enforcing the interim law of the new district."
"Although your crime is serious, it should not be There is no need to worry too much about being sentenced to corporal punishment."
"But after the punishment, you must remember not to do it again in the future!"
All the twenty people looked panicked. He even fell to his knees with a thud and shouted sadly: "Shangguan!"
"Today is the wax festival!"
"At least let me take my children and grandchildren to celebrate the wax festival together, and then talk about the punishment!"
"Under the whole world, there are only The prisoner was released during the wax festival, and there was no such thing as the arrest of the guilty during the wax festival!"
The official taught him earnestly for a long time, but the father-in-law said, "Today is the wax festival."
Suddenly, the law official’s face darkened.
Raising his voice, the law officials shouted loudly: "You are stubborn!"
"Get them down quickly!"
The five thieves were immediately stepped forward to take these people down. Take it away!
The dispute here has already attracted many people to watch. I don’t know who suddenly said loudly: "Since the eighth year of Xi Gong (651 BC) to the present, it has always been November 1st in our Zouxian County. For the wax sacrifice!”
“This is true for the people of Lu, and this is true for the people of Qi.”
"Why do we, for the sake of the people of Qin, do something wrong even for the wax festival?!" This man's words were very provocative.
No matter when Zouxian County belonged to the State of Lu or when it belonged to the State of Qi, the people of Zouxian County always started the year on November 1st.
Habits that have lasted for more than four hundred years have long been imprinted in our bones.
No matter what the officials say, in the eyes of Zouxian people, today is the New Year!
However, the legal official was so angry that he almost vomited blood and shouted angrily: "Qi won Zouxian County and did not correct Shuo."
"It's because Qi and Lu both follow the Zhou calendar!"
< br>"Qi and Lu already use the same calendar, with the same day as the first day of the lunar month, so why change it again!"
"Who is messing around!"
Unfortunately, no People understand the words of the law officials.
Under the instigation of thoughtful people, the crowd became excited!
“Why does the State of Qin require us to celebrate the twelfth lunar month on October 1st but not on November 1st? On October 1st, the crops in the fields have not been harvested yet. How can I have time to hold the wax festival?”
“How can the Qin State be so cruel! Then the King of Qin casually decided to let us choose another day for the wax festival? How come we don’t see Qi doing this during the Lu period! It shows how cruel Qin is!”
“Oh, it’s just a sacrifice, but it makes you so angry? Severe punishments! Look at all the relatives, friends and neighbors who were tortured and forced into labor. I was even more surprised when you were shocked by the brutality of the Qin Dynasty."
A large number of people went to the city to buy new year goods! The heads of Guizhou Province gathered together, making the law official and the several thieves exterminators appear particularly weak.
In fact, even the thieves were a little shaken.
After all, the legal officials were sent by the Qin Dynasty, while the thieves-killing officials were recruited on the spot.
As locals of Zouxian County, they also think that November 1st is the New Year, and October 1st is the time of autumn harvest, so how can they think about the wax festival!
At this moment, a Confucian scholar climbed up and shouted: "The emperor of Zhou decided to use November 1st as the beginning of the year. He, the Qin Kingdom, is not the emperor, so why should he set the beginning of the year by himself!"
< br>“This is rude!”
"Qin is rude and unjust, and the king of Qin is cruel and ruthless, but Qi obeys etiquette and the king is benevolent and righteous!"
"We do not accept Qin's rule! I want to return to Qi! We want to celebrate the wax festival. ! ”
The Confucian scholar’s shouts were like water drops falling into a boiling pan of oil, making the shouts on the scene suddenly intensify.
“We want to celebrate the wax festival today! Whoever doesn’t let me celebrate the wax festival, I will rebel against him!”
“I don’t want to be ruled by such a cruel Great Qin! Rebel against him ! ”
"That's right! Rebel against him! Join us!"
Next to the road not far away, Song Ya and Zhu (zhū) Chang were sitting in a single-horse car, smiling. Watch it all.
Zhu Chang faced Song Ya and praised him: "Brother Zhu's plan is really a stroke of genius!"
Song Ya laughed softly: "Qin thought that changing the year was easy. . ”
“In most places, it is not difficult to change the year.”
"But Zouxian County has not only celebrated November 1st as the beginning of the year for more than 400 years, but has also been deeply influenced by etiquette and prosperous in culture and education. Even the common people who are illiterate know etiquette and justice."
"The government of King Qin Little things that you don't care about can be enough to cause a rebellion in Zouxian County!"
"But the success of this strategy is ultimately due to Brother Zhu's methods."
It is an important festival that combines many elements such as worshiping ancestors, worshiping gods, celebrating, and resting.
The Qin Dynasty strongly demanded that the whole world live according to the calendar of the Qin Dynasty. According to the Lunar New Year Festival of the Qin Dynasty, those areas that often change the year may not care, but the people of Zouxian County cannot be without resentment!
Zhu Chang also smiled and said: "After all, the Zhu clan has been operating in Zouxian County for hundreds of years, and trivial matters are of no concern." After all, it’s difficult to achieve anything in one city!”
The original name of Zouxian County is Zhu County! It is the capital of the Zhu Kingdom!
And Zhu Chang is a descendant of the Zhu royal family!
Song Ya said with a smile: "Brother Zhu is not the only one who wants to succeed this time."
"The city that is raising troops this time is far from the only city in Zoucheng."
"As soon as chaos breaks out in Zouxian County, we will lead the way and trigger chaos in Xue County!"
"You Not only can I greatly weaken the power of Qin, but I can also make the world know that Qin cannot unify the world, and create another good opportunity for you and me to restore the country."
Zhu Chang's eyes showed a bit of longing: "You and I are even able to lead the entire Xue Commandery eastward to the Qi Kingdom, and the King of Qi values them!"
"It is said that the King of Qi is a gentleman who has read poetry and books."
"I wonder if the King of Qi can follow the example of Wu Ding of Shang, rise and destroy the country, and continue the unparalleled world."
"Help you and I revive our homeland!"
