After hearing my inner thoughts, the ancestors in the Dream of the Red Chamber went berserk.

Chapter 260 The Emperor is so indiscriminate

Jia Daihua reached out and gently tapped Jia Hu's forehead. "The Fengshan ceremony is a major event, but it sounds like a joke to you."

“Your great-uncle is right. The Emperor had always wanted to come, but the national treasury was not full and there were important matters in the court, so he never came.”

"Isn't the Emperor very willing? It's too much trouble to ask and refuse three times. Why not just issue an order to come over?"

Jia Zhen, pulling his brother along, only felt it was troublesome, and soon Jia Zhen was also hit on the head.

"We must not discuss this in private. You must know that the Fengshan ceremony is a way to report the emperor's achievements to heaven and also to demonstrate the strength of our court."

What Jia Daihua didn't finish saying was that, on the surface, this was the best way to consolidate the court's power and win the support of the people.

Jia Hu pursed his lips, but what he was thinking more about was...

【】

But Mount Tai is already tainted; the Emperor shouldn't still have such hopes. Ever since that person went up there, many emperors have been unwilling to go, feeling it would be beneath them.

Upon hearing Jia Hu's thoughts, Jia Daihua and Jia Daishan were taken aback. What? Mount Tai was dirty? Who could go up there and have such a big impact on Mount Tai?

Even the Emperor doesn't want to go? In all these years of the court, and even the previous emperor, which one didn't want to go!

Some officials with insufficient achievements are too ashamed to go, but the emperor's achievements are truly solid.

Jia Hu thought

Is the Emperor really that indiscriminate?

Look at the previous Fengshan ceremony at Mount Tai; Qin Shi Huang, Ying Zheng, swept across the six kingdoms and unified the world! His achievements need no further explanation.

As for his son, Qin Er Shi, he also went up, but at that time it was to announce to the world that he had succeeded to the throne and there was not much controversy about him going to worship a god.

Emperor Wu of Han, Liu Che, would come to fight the Xiongnu every time he came. He came many times, but each time he made real achievements.

Until Emperor Zhenzong of Song, this person forged a heavenly book and fabricated auspicious omens in order to come.

The Liao Dynasty's southward invasion and the signing of the Treaty of Shanyuan are a humiliating event!

An emperor who did this would have been better off committing suicide to atone for his sins; at least he would have had some backbone!

He won't want to come anymore. Mount Tai used to be insurmountable, but after the Song Dynasty, it lost its prestige.

Jia Hu couldn't understand why the Emperor was so eager for this matter; it shouldn't be like this!

Jia Daishan and Jia Daihua were also completely confused. Who was Emperor Zhenzong of Song? Had there ever been such an emperor in the previous dynasty?

The two brothers exchanged glances; it seemed that Hu'er knew something different from what they did.

Jia Hu also felt something was wrong. After carefully checking the information, he realized why!

The world in the book is different from reality. It becomes a small world where history is filled in over time, but Emperor Zhenzong of Song is not among the past figures.

Ah! I see! So that's how it is. No one from this area ever came to be Emperor Zhenzong of Song.

The Mount Tai here is very well preserved; it's clean and tidy. No wonder the Emperor thought that way.

Jia Hu finally realized that he had made a mistake; the world is different, and so is Mount Tai.

After Jia Hu figured it out, he also had some expectations, wondering if children would be allowed to participate in this Fengshan ceremony.

So that's how it is. At least Mount Tai in their world is alright. It's quite unlucky that Mount Tai in the other world is like that.

Mount Tai is known as the foremost of the Five Sacred Mountains and the number one mountain under heaven. It is also said that if Mount Tai is safe, the whole world will be safe.

That's how he was corrupted by that emperor. Looking at what that man did, no wonder Hu'er would have such a high opinion of him.

"Alright, have fun on the bus. We're almost at Tai'an Prefecture. Things will get even busier there, so be careful as there will be many visitors."

Jia Daishan added his instructions.

This Fengshan ceremony is a major event, the first of its kind in this dynasty. Renowned Confucian scholars and masters from various schools of thought will come to discuss it together.
