Chapter 686 Ask! He is here too!(2/2)
Deshun looked at the guard and took out a token. His expression was far less warm than when he faced Qin Wenyuan. He said calmly, "Your Majesty has an order. Lord Tang Dynasty will hold an event here. Please cooperate well."
When the two guards saw this, they nodded in agreement.
Soon, the door was opened.
Entering the door, you will see a huge square in front of you.
In the center of the square, there is a high platform with a height of two people.
The high platform is in the shape of an octagon and is made of white marble. It looks very majestic and solemn.
Behind the square is a palace.
The palace is not large in area, but it is also built with a solemn atmosphere, which is completely different from other architectural styles in the palace.
It can be seen that these palaces are supporting facilities for the Temple of Heaven.
The overall feeling is consistent and full of solemnity.
Deshun introduced to Qin Wenyuan, "Master Qin, this is the Temple of Heaven."
He pointed to the white marble high platform in front of him and said, "Previously, Your Majesty had worshiped heaven and ancestors here for the wedding of Master Qin and His Highness the Princess."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly, he knew about this.
Deshun pointed to the palace in the back and said, "There are some altars for ancestors here. Your Majesty sometimes comes here to offer incense."
"Of course, most of the time, His Majesty still goes to the ancestral temple to offer sacrifices. Here, it is more of a thought."
Qin Wenyuan nodded slightly.
He had seen the significance of the existence of the Temple of Heaven in the archives, and Du Chuke had also introduced it.
At this time, his attention was all on the solemn Temple of Heaven.
Recalling that Zhang Qin and the fake Han Qian spent ten years searching for the secrets here, Qin Wenyuan's eyes couldn't help but shine with a golden light.
"Where is your secret??"
Qin Wenyuan thought as he climbed to the Temple of Heaven.
There are nine steps in total in the Temple of Heaven.
It symbolizes the series nine.
In ancient times, the meaning of nine was extraordinary.
According to legend, a dragon gave birth to nine sons.
And among the emperors, they are even called the Nine-Five-Year-Old Ones.
Nine is the ultimate, and cannot be used by anyone except the emperor.
If the number nine is used in the family of a minister or prince, it is a serious sin.
As Qin Wenyuan walked, he carefully observed the Temple of Heaven.
He found that on every step, there were patterns of auspicious clouds carved on them.
Walking on the steps, it feels like flying through the clouds and mist.
It seemed like I was really walking towards heaven.
When we reached the top of the Temple of Heaven, we saw that it was very spacious.
In the center of the Temple of Heaven, there is a table.
The table is made of red solid wood and covered with golden cloth.
On the table, there is an incense burner and some dishes.
Burnt incense ashes can be seen on the incense burner.
But the dishes were empty.
Presumably it was used to place sacrifices, and after a few days, the sacrifices were taken away.
Apart from this, nothing else can be seen in the Temple of Heaven.
Simple, grand, solemn and solemn.
Qin Wenyuan said to Fatty Zhang, "Did you see anything?"
Fatty Zhang thought for a moment and then said, "This Temple of Heaven should be built according to the Taoist Yin and Yang Bagua."
"Although this place is not located in the center of the palace, it is where the dragon veins pass and where the dragon energy gathers."
“In terms of Feng Shui, the location here is excellent.”
"Compared with many imperial mausoleums, the feng shui is better."
"The choice of the Temple of Heaven here seems to have been carefully considered by the person who chose it."
The eunuch on the side, after hearing Fatty Zhang's words, glanced at the fat man with some surprise, and said, "This gentleman is right, this place is the place where the Ministry of Rites has spent a lot of thought, and it has been verified many times by the Taoist Master Yuan Tiangang.
After that, the location was determined.”
Yuan Tiangang?
Qin Wenyuan's eyes flashed when he heard the name.
Yuan Tiangang is also a famous figure in history.
However, he is not famous for his official position.
He is famous for his divination and arithmetic skills.
Qin Wenyuan didn't believe in these superstitions, but he believed that anyone who could leave a name in history was definitely not simple.
Even if it is superstitious, Yuan Tiangang can leave his name in the annals of history and be remembered by future generations, which is enough to show his extraordinary character.
However, Yuan Tiangang was a member of the Taoist sect. Although he was an official in the imperial court, he rarely appeared in public. He often lived in seclusion and meditated, so Qin Wenyuan never had the chance to meet this person.
Qin Wenyuan looked at Deshun and said, "May I ask my father-in-law, did Yuan Tiangang also participate in the construction of the Temple of Heaven?"
Deshun nodded, "Although Celestial Master Yuan Tiangang did not participate in the construction, he gave many opinions, including site selection, the shape of the Temple of Heaven, etc., which were all proposed by Celestial Master Yuan Tiangang."
Qin Wenyuan narrowed his eyes.
Yuan Tiangang participated in this, but why didn't he see Yuan Tiangang's name in the file?
In the files of the Ministry of Industry, there is a detailed list of those who participated in the construction.
But there is no Yuan Tiangang inside.
It's because Yuan Tiangang only came up with the idea and did not personally participate in the construction.
Or are there other reasons?!
Qin Wenyuan thought for a moment.
Then, he looked at Lu Shisan and asked, "Where is Yuan Tiangang now?"
Lu Shisan controls a shadow guard, and the information about all officials in the court is in the shadow guard's intelligence room.
So Lu Shisan didn't hesitate and said directly, "Inside the Tiandao Pavilion in Chang'an City."
"Invite him."
Qin Wenyuan spoke.
Lu Shisan turned around and left without saying a word.
Deshun looked at Lu Shisan's back and couldn't help but admired, "Master Qin has capable men."
Regardless of the reason, if you hear the order, do it directly without any hesitation.
