What absurd things did Song Zhenzong do to worship Mount Tai?

As we all know, sacrifice was a very important thing for the country in ancient times. By offering sacrifices, the cohesion of the country can be enhanced and the ruling power of the monarch can be consolidated. In ancient times, the most important and grand ceremony was meditation, which was usually held on Mount Tai, but not all emperors could worship Mount Tai. According to ancient books, five emperors sealed Mount Tai in ancient times. After the Song Dynasty, no matter how powerful the country was, it never said anything about closing the temple. This is because in order to worship Mount Tai, Song Zhenzong created a series of absurd farce, such as forging good omen and bribing officials, which made Zen worship a joke for later generations.

First of all, in order to worship Mount Tai, Song Zhenzong made up a farce of auspicious luck from heaven. At that time, Song Zhenzong had the idea of worshipping Mount Tai, but in ancient times, people who could worship Mount Tai were brilliant and outstanding, while Song Zhenzong's sandwiches and martial arts were not so good. Therefore, Song Zhenzong began to play the idea of forging auspicious signs from the sky. At that time, he instructed some flattering officials to make auspicious signs all over the country. For example, it suddenly began to rain in the cold sky today. The one said that Ganoderma lucidum had grown under his roof, and others said that there were white tigers and deer in the village. Secondly, a piece of yellow silk two feet long suddenly appeared at the entrance of the palace. At this time, Song Zhenzong was very excited and told the prime minister at that time that he woke up in the middle of the night and saw the immortal come to the palace, and told himself that he would get a gobbledygook. Ministers opened the yellow silk, really called? A gobbledygook Even after the closure of Zen Buddhism, this so-called auspicious symbol continued to be forged.

Then, Song Zhenzong bribed officials to achieve successful meditation. At that time, Song Zhenzong changed the title of the Song Dynasty to the auspicious symbol of "Dazhong" after a series of things done by Wang Qinruo and others. At that time, auspicious symbols were said every day, and the ministers in the DPRK saw Song Zhenzong's farce at a glance. Among them, Prime Minister Wang Dan is an honest and frank person. Song Zhenzong was afraid that his farce would be exposed by him, so Song Zhenzong gave him an altar of wine when Wang Dan invited him to drink, and told him to open it when he got home. When Wang Dan came home, he saw that the jar was full of gold, silver and jewels, but after all, he was understaffed and could only turn a blind eye to Song Zhenzong's absurd farce. Without the opposition of the official such as Wang Dan, Song Zhenzong once again said that the immortals came to find themselves again, saying that the next gobbledygook would come to Mount Tai, so ministers echoed it and repeatedly encouraged the people to write to Song Zhenzong and ask for meditation on Mount Tai, so Song Zhenzong started a farce of meditation.

Finally, after pretending to worship Mount Tai, Song Zhenzong went into a crazy state, constantly spending financial resources to worship sacrifices everywhere, leaving the national treasury empty and becoming the laughing stock of future generations.
