Book of Songs?? There is a poem in the volume of Lu Song, called "Pan Shui", and there are a few lines in the poem: "Ming Ming Lu Hou, Ke Ming Qide." Both as a pan palace, Huaiyi is obedient. Corrective tiger ministers, in Pan Xianyu. Shu asked Rugao Tao and offered prisoners in Pan. ”

It is about the victory of Lu Xugong's conquest of Huaiyi and the ceremony of "offering the capture of the teacher" in the Pan Palace.

"Yu" refers to a person who dies and cuts off his ears. "Pan Palace" is the Palace of Learning.

In the pre-Qin period, the division and brigade went to war, and they were subject to the strategy and tactics of the first teacher in the school palace, so they returned to the school palace to report back to the school palace, and to take prisoners and kill the enemy's ears, and worship them in front of the gods of the first saint and the first teacher.

This is the "Book of Rites?? The Monarchy: "The Son of Heaven will go out to ...... and be learned from learning." If you go out to fight for the guilt, you will return, and you will be released from learning. ”

However, as early as the pre-Qin period, this "sacrifice" ceremony, or "sacrifice of prisoners", was not always held in the Xue Palace, or in the Jongmiao. For example, after the victory of King Muye of Zhou Wu, this ceremony was held in the temple of Hokyung.

Since the Qin Dynasty, the military salutes of sacrificing prisoners and winning victories in previous dynasties have been held more in the Zongmiao.

Dingxi is no exception.

Before Xin Er set out on this expedition, Ling Hu Le first made a sacrifice in the temple. Xin Er's victory, of course, Ling Hule needs to go to the temple as well, and then tell the ancestors of the results and captures of this battle.

Two days later, in the temple of the Dingxi royal family, a grand ceremony was held to sacrifice prisoners.

Compared with the pre-Qin prisoner sacrifice procedure, the current prisoner sacrifice ritual has changed.

For example, in the Yin Shang era, measures such as killing prisoners of war for sacrifice and carving commemoration on the skulls of the slain leaders of the Fang State have long been used, but the two core spirits of military merit and paying tribute to ancestors are still in the same vein.

The overall procedure is to determine the auspicious day for the sacrifice of the captives through divination. Then, on the day before the sacrifice of the captives, the officials fasted at the temple; The officials of the relevant ministry cleaned the inside and outside of the temple; The ceremonial officer sets up a place for the position where the official and the generals stand when the ceremony is held; The chief officer in charge of the day-to-day work of the temple cleans up the shrine and leads his subordinates to set up ritual vessels for sacrifice in front of the shrine.

On the day of the sacrifice of the prisoners, it is today.

The officials of Dingxi led the way with a dew cloth in their hands, and the soldiers tied up important captives such as Bai Chun, the king of Qiuzi, with white silk and escorted them to the temple.

The officials who participated in the captive ceremony all wore solemn ceremonial dresses, and under the guidance of "praise and introduction", after the imperial history and other ceremonies were carried out, the chief official in charge of the daily life of the temple entered the temple from the east steps, took out the tablets of the ancestors of the king of Dingxi, and placed them on the throne.

The officials and generals entered the temple under the guidance of the praise and the confessor, and bowed down. Diners serve food and are listed outside the east gate.

The confessor stepped forward to the left side of the informant and reported: "There is a priest, please act." ”

The memorial ceremony is hereby officially commenced.

The ceremony after the official start is tedious and solemn.

Xin Er had never participated in such a national-level ceremony before, but fortunately, the ceremonial officer had told him the whole procedure in detail beforehand, and there was a confessor to lead him during the ceremony, so there was no rudeness.

After the whole set of procedures, Xin Er didn't remember how many times he bowed, but he remembered that he didn't stand up for a while, and then he bowed to the ground again, and sometimes he had to "bow again", twice in a row.

After the sacrifice to the temple, the sacrifice of prisoners is not over.

This is only the most important step in the procedure.

Then, the captives were held and sacrificed to the "shrine", that is, the captives were sacrificed to the god of the land.

Finally, go to the south gate of the middle city and present the captives to Ling Hule standing on the city tower.

The officials who did not participate in the temple and shrine ceremonies all appeared in front of the castle tower. They don't have to wear a formal dress, they just have to wear it.

There are also guards of honor and selected elite soldiers, fully armed, in front of the tower and under the city.

In short, although the various procedures of this gift of prisoners were very complicated, but because of this, Xin Ermo also deeply felt the "heavy weapon of the state", or the sacredness and majesty of power,—— which can also be seen from the reaction of Bai Chun, the king of Guizi, who later on, couldn't even walk, his legs were softer than noodles, like stepping on cotton, and he almost fell down several times.

An official from Dingxi came out and read out Lubu in public, reprimanding Bai Chun for his heinous crimes.

Lubu wrote it in the name of Xiner.

Thousands of officials, soldiers, and people under and outside the city listened silently to Lubu's contents.

After the conclusion of "the brigade refused to surrender, and the prisoners were captured", the people broke out into thunderous cheers.

Lubu handed over to the governor's right chief Shi Zhang Seng Cheng for safekeeping.

The official in charge of criminal affairs of the pastoral government stepped forward and knelt down to play the disposition of Bai Chun and the other prisoners that had been agreed upon.

In order to declare the benevolence of Linghu Le, the king of Dingxi, Bai Chun was not ready to kill, and gave him the name of Guiyi Marquis.

Since Bai Chun was escorted, Ling Hule, who was sitting tall, had been blinking his eyes and staring at him.

At this time, Ling Hule said something.

As a permanent attendant, Zhang Dao, who served as a counselor and a waiter, bowed down to answer the order, walked slowly, and called Bai Chun upstairs.

Bai Chun came up tremblingly, didn't dare to raise his head, and said in a trembling voice: "The criminal minister Bai Chun greets the king." ”

Ling Hule asked, "Why is your head flat?" ”

Bai Chun thought about it for a long time, but he never thought that Ling Hule summoned him to ask such a sentence.

He was dumbfounded, not knowing what to answer.

Xin Er was also upstairs, and he smiled: "King, you don't know anything. There is a custom in Qiuzi that after the birth of a noble child, in order to show his distinctiveness, his parents will clip his head with two wooden boards. When a baby grows up, his head is different from that of ordinary people. ”

Ling Hule thought about it, his face was full of incomprehension, and said: "How can there be such a custom!" ”

Zhang Daojiang said with a smile: "There are many barbarian and ugly winds! There is a country in the Western Regions, whose name is Shule, and the ministers have heard that the people in its country have six fingers, and those who give birth to children with non-six fingers are infertile; It is also like the Huns, who have a dark face and tattoos. Barbarians are uncivilized, and their vulgarity is beyond the imagination of the king. ”

Ling Hule stuck out his tongue and said, "Six fingers? That's weird! "Ask Xin Er, "Ah Gua, Shule people all have six fingers, is this true?" ”

Xin Er said: "Shule is west of Qiuzi. Whether the people in his country are all six-fingered, the ministers have never been to their country in person, and they dare not speak falsely. However, among the protons of the Western Regions who came to the court this time, there was the prince of Shule. Indeed, he has six fingers. If the king is interested, he can be summoned to see him in the future. ”

Ling Hule nodded and said, "That's what I want to see!" Looking at Bai Chun again, it was still incredible, and said, "Stupid, why are you chucking?" It's not pretty! Doesn't it hurt? ”

Zhang Daojiang asked Bai Chun and said, "The king asked you!" ”

Bai Chun replied: "At the time of the chuck, the sinner was still young, and he didn't remember whether it hurt or not. ”

Ling Hule said, "You come close. ”

Bai Chun approached on his knees and went to Ling Hule's seat.

Ling Hule stretched out his little hand, touched his head, grinned, and said, "Ah Gua, Chang Shi, you two come to touch it too!" ”

Zhang Daojiang was unceremoniously, and when the king ordered to touch, he would touch.

Rolling up his sleeves, he went up and down, touching Bai Chun's head all over again.

Withdrawing his hand, Zhang Daojiang smiled and said: "The forehead is flat, the back of the head is upturned, the king, it feels like a gourd." Hulu, Hulu, but just homonym! ”

Xin Er hesitated and did not move, and said in his heart: "I fought hard, and it was easy to lay down some prestige, and in front of the court, in front of hundreds of officials, if I obey Ling Hule's words and touch this white and pure head, it will be frivolous, and I will not say anything about my previous achievements, and it is like a courtier, too disagreeable!" ”

Ling Hule was amused by Zhang Daojiang, and urged Xin Er to touch it one after another.

Huang Rong, who was also a regular attendant and an attendant on the side, saw Xin Er's reluctance.

He smiled and said: "King, the head of Bai Chun, Zhang Changshi can touch it, but General Wuwei can't touch it." ”

Ling Hule tilted his head and asked, "Why?" ”

Huang Rong replied calmly: "Zhang Chang is a talented man, he can touch him at will, and it is harmless." Wu Wei is an important minister of the general state, a conquest in the Western Regions, a second expedition to the country, more than ten kingdoms, and tens of thousands of dollars. If it is touched by General Wuwei, won't the king be missing a plaything in the future? ”

Ling Hule felt reasonable, nodded loudly, and said, "What Chang Shi said is very true! Agua, you still don't touch it! ”

Xin Er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and responded quietly on the surface: "Yes." ”

looked at Zhang Daojiang, who seemed to have not seen him for three days, and had already made Hu Le happy, and then looked at the surroundings of the train, and just now he was waiting for him to touch the people of Pan Kuan, Song Hong, Song Fang, Zhang Hun and others, Xin Er thought about it and said: "Tomorrow I will go to visit Koji Shuo, and first tell him the various policies I have agreed with Yang Chao, Zhang Gui, Huang Rong, etc., as long as he does not object, I have military achievements in destroying the country, and these political measures will be realized one by one." That's not a problem anymore. However, it is a good thing to make the fox happy with a child's heart, but sometimes, as Fang Cai, can also be bad. Huang Rong is not a person who coaxes children. It seems that I have to pick a few people who can talk and play to enter the palace! ”
