He took off his shoes and entered the main hall, which was paved with fine planks. In these days, the floor is the seat, and if you come in with shoes, you will stain the floor and your clothes.

When the etiquette of the face gentleman was in the mountains, Zhao Yong taught Zhao Xing, but he did not make jokes.

After the etiquette passed, Zhao Yong took Zhao Xing's hand and introduced to the ministers, ministers, and doctors: "Mr. Zhao Xing, he saved the widow in Gongzijie's pursuit of the widow, and when he fled in the mountains, he gave some lessons to the widow and let the beasts listen. Mr.'s knowledge can be said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times. Now the widow officially declares that the widow worships under the door of the gentleman, and the gentleman is the widow's teacher. ”

Then he walked to the hall and solemnly gave Zhao Xing a salute. Zhao Xing accepted it calmly.

Then Zhao Yong took over the bundle in the hands of Mrs. Yan, the current Empress Dowager Zhao.

In ancient times, the apprenticeship ceremony was very solemn, and Confucius said that I had no regrets if I restrained myself or more. It means - "As long as you take the initiative to give me ten pieces of dried meat as a meeting gift, I have never failed to give teachings." ”

In fact, a bundle is jerky, and a bundle is ten, such a gift is grand and luxurious in this era, but it is cheap and shabby for Zhao Xing.

In this era, meat is a luxury, and the people can only eat meat over 70 years old, and the rest are rich and status, which is a symbol of status.

Taking over this black meat that seemed to be more difficult to gnaw than a wooden stick, Zhao Xing thought to himself, tomorrow's breakfast has been settled.

Receiving the bundle is equivalent to formally establishing the teacher-student relationship between Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong, and his identity is not Buyi but a national teacher. Now others call him not Zhao Xing, but Xingzi.

Zhao Yong announced again: "Now, the widow worships Mr. Xingzi as a false appearance and assists the widow in governing state affairs. ”

False appearance, this is a temporary official position, originally came and went, it was an assistant to the helper, that is, the housekeeper's housekeeper, he could participate in anything, he could express his position on anything, but he couldn't do anything, but the responsibility was absolutely unavoidable.

If the monarch trusts, you are a pivotal figure, and if the monarch does not trust, you are a dispensable fart.

It seems that this position must be the result of careful discussion between Zhao Yong and Fei Yi.

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, everyone is not surprised. Especially when Zhao Xing came, it was just a fake appearance, that is, a temporary worker, dispensable. did not encroach on other people's official positions, and everyone accepted it safely.

The eunuch put on a robe, gorgeous and atmospheric, Zhao Yong personally put it on Zhao Xing, this is not an official uniform, this is called a long coat, it is put on the outside of the skirt, and it is only worn when going out, which is equivalent to the current windbreaker. The people wearing trench coats are all ox fork people, and this is the same as now. Bring a high crown to Zhao Xing, this is not a hat, it is called Qieyun. On behalf of the appointment of the monarch, deputy, Zhao Xing, you are already a nobleman of the Zhao State.

In the two thousand years from the Xia Dynasty to the current Zhou Dynasty in the six hundred years, the class has been solidified, and it is very difficult for a person to squeeze from cloth clothes into the nobility, and it is so difficult that it is comparable to the moon landing in later generations. A great talent like Wu Qi, even if he is the commander of the Chu State, under one person and above ten thousand people, he is still not a nobleman, he is still a taxi despised by the nobles of the Chu State, that is, a scholar.

But there are special cases for everything, and the special case is demand, only when the Son of Heaven gives you a knighthood or the monarch gives you a long coat and wears a cloud-cutting crown, you will enter the ranks of nobles, of course, such a chance is not big. Unlike some people in later generations, who can't beat the eight poles of the royal family, they shamelessly show off that they are nobles.

In this era, the aristocracy is a real representative of gold content.

Zhao Yongsanxuan: "In order to thank the teacher for his rescue efforts, the teacher was named the county of Caiyi and the name Xingjun." ”

Jun is not a title, not the same as the monarch of the monarch, the monarch is actually called a title, such as Zhao Yong, should be called Zhao Hou. It's an honorific title, but in fact, Bozi is noble. Later, in order to balance the Wei State, King Wuling of Zhao demoted himself by one level and became the monarch. It can be seen that its gold content.

For such a reward, when the ministers and colleagues congratulated, there was no envy, jealousy and hatred, and some were full of schadenfreude.

Zhao Xing has a deep understanding of this xenophobia. When a wild dog is suddenly stuffed into the family dog group, it is inevitable to be ostracized, and it is the instinct of animals to reject others. Hardly surprising.

Zhao Yongsi Xuan: "In order to make the teacher always mention his life, reward Heyang Palace, and descend to Heyang Garden as the residence of Mr. Guodu." ”

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came to the Warring States March, he finally had a place, and he could not sleep on the streets at night.

However, this really attracted the attention of the minister's doctor, not to pay attention to others, but to this Heyang Palace, which was the residence of the original prince, and was given to Zhao Xing, which shows that the monarch relies on this teacher - this strange guy, everyone should be careful. This is the consensus of the ministers.

Finally, Zhao Yong restrained his hands: "Please take a seat, teacher." ”

Zhao Xing's seat was under the left hand Feiyi, where an empty cushion had already been prepared. Zhao Xing followed the example of others and knelt on the mat.

The mat is thick and soft, and it is not known what was padded in it in the era when there was no cotton. But no matter how thick and soft it is, it still makes Zhao Xing feel pain, which is why the remains of the ancients before the Han Dynasty unearthed have disabilities in both knees.

But fortunately, this pain was gone soon, not because Zhao Xing quickly got used to this way of sitting, but because his legs were numb.

Zhao Xing's matter is over, and everyone begins to talk about state affairs, of course, the first thing to discuss now is the national funeral.

When Zhao Suhou was alive, he had already built a sealed mound for himself, and Zhao Suhou called the mausoleum, called Shouling, which was a rule that started with him, and this rule was continued until Mr. Zhongshan was abolished.

The ancients attached great importance to death is not ordinarily large, happy events can be sloppy, but the funeral must not be a little sloppy, with the most powerful Empress Dowager Zhao of Zhao State, the monarch, the help, the eunuch Ling led by several murderers, solemnly discuss how to kill the funeral, do a grand and beautiful, how to make people recognize the nostalgia and sorrow of several murderers for the killed.

This made Zhao Xing feel unspeakably fake.

Zhao Xing was not interested in the endless red tape, and of course, he didn't understand it at all. In Zhao Xing's view, if a person dies, isn't it over if he is dragged out and buried, and the business of the living is important.

But he could not and did not dare to speak out against it. If he dared to say it and dragged it out and buried it, it would not be the dead man, but he would be Zhao Xing.

If you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand, and if you pretend to understand, you have to pretend to be unfathomable, and the best way to pretend to be unfathomable is to shut up and shake your head.

He is a fake, so he has the right to express his opinion, so he stared at Xiangbang Feiyi tightly, he shook his head, and Zhao Xing shook his head. He nodded, and Zhao Xing followed, "Yes." ”
