Today's meeting lasted all day and ended until it was getting late. When the dispersal of the dynasty was announced, Zhao Xing's legs had gone from pain to numbness, to being completely unconscious. Seeing those ministers easily stand up and bow out, Zhao Xing really couldn't stand up.

As a result, Zhao Yong was about to leave, but he saw the teacher sitting there alone without moving, thinking that Zhao Xing had something to say, so he called out to Feiyi, who had already walked to the door: "Help each other to stay, the teacher seems to have something to say." ”

Empress Dowager Zhao also stopped, the eunuch Ling also stayed, and the orchestra chi stopped his footsteps, and the murder group gathered again.

Zhao Yong saluted Zhao Xing: "Is there anything important that the teacher wants to teach me?" ”

Zhao Xing is embarrassed, important things, I have nothing to do, what do I say?

But seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Xing felt that he had to say something. So he coughed, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty, it's dangerous." ”

The ancients were so loud that they were shocked, so that they could show that what they wanted to say was a big thing, a big event, and only then could they show their insight and ability.

Just this sentence, everyone was stunned, and Zhao Yong hurriedly asked again: "Teacher, where did the widow do wrong and get into danger, please teach me." ”

Zhao Xing pretended to be deep and said: "Today's ministers worship the new king, it is the general who presses him with soldiers, and the king's arrogant words are there. But the hundred officials are still unconvinced in their hearts, and I can see from the eyes of the hundred officials in the court meeting that the hundred officials despise the king, which is not good, very bad, and very dangerous. ”

Fei Yi nodded: "Yes, it happened suddenly, and people's hearts are not attached." ”

The eunuch Ling also frowned and said: "If this is the case for a long time, not only will it not be able to stabilize the court situation, but it will also bury hidden dangers, what should I do?" ”

Le Chi frowned: "The ancestor is newly mourned, it is not suitable to fight, what can I do?" ”

What he meant was that the best way to quickly establish the prestige of the monarch was to find someone to fight in order to establish great military exploits and suppress the courtiers. But according to the rules of Zhou etiquette, if you don't use swords and soldiers during the national funeral, you can't find someone to fight, which is really difficult.

Zhao Yong asked Zhao Xing: "Since the teacher has seen the problem, he must have a solution to the problem, and I ask the teacher to speak up." ”

Zhao Xing said with the old god there: "The situation is still unstable now, and you can't make a big move." But big things can start with small things, just like rules. We will set a rule to highlight the supremacy of the king, so that we can subtly make the officials submit. ”

Fei Yi heard this, thought about it for a while, and clapped his hands: "Yes, let's set the level by the rules and respect the supremacy of the king." ”

Zhao Yong's eyes lit up and asked, "What should I do?" ”

Zhao Xing said with a smile: "First of all, this court meeting, it is unreasonable for the monarch and the ministers to sit together, the monarch should sit for the noble, but how can the ministers be on an equal footing with the monarch." Sitting in this way, the ministers and courtiers naturally thought that the king was equal to them in their hearts, and naturally they despised the king. Such an effect is undesirable. ”

The eunuch order was in charge of court etiquette, and immediately agreed: "Sure enough, this is the truth, Xingzi reminded me right." ”

"From tomorrow onwards, there will be only one person qualified to sit in this hall, and that is the monarch, the most noble master of the Zhao country. All the other courtiers were standing. Zhao Xing said categorically.

Several people applauded together, but Empress Dowager Zhao, who had been participating in the discussion during the mourning, was embarrassed, and she had to stand according to this rule.

Of course, Zhao Xing wants to solve this problem: "Of course, the Queen Mother is the mother of the country and cannot stand, but it must be given by the monarch to sit, and at the same time, other nobles and elders can also be given by the monarch." But it is grace, it is respect, and those who are given to sit should be grateful. In this way, through such differential treatment, it can buy people's hearts even more. ”

Fei Yi stood up, and the other people also stood up, and Zhao Xing had already moved his legs, and he also got up and stood up.

Just stood up and let out a sigh of relief, but Zhao Yong said with a sincere respectful face: "Teacher doesn't have to stand up, please sit." "This is a gift, this is respect, the Superior cannot give it, this is the rule of the ceremony.

At that time, Zhao Xing was so miserable, and he spent so much effort to come up with such a big rule, the purpose was to stop kneeling and suffering in the future, but in a blink of an eye, he was beaten back to the prototype again. Isn't that a wasted effort.

"You don't dare to resign, but the ministers should abide by the rules, how dare they be on an equal footing with you?" Then continue to fill in the loopholes: "Such three gifts and three concessions show the sincere courtesy of the king to the courtiers, and the courtiers are sincere and respectful to the king." If the courtier sits, it can be regarded as accepting the favor of the king, and if he does not sit, it means that he is respectful to the king and does not dare to blaspheme, and then let him do what he should do. ”

Everyone thought it was very polite to do this, so they all accepted the new rules.

"There is also this station, which must also be changed."

The eunuch Ling was busy and humbly asked: "How to change?" ”

Zhao Xing moved his legs and circled around the platform, "Establishing the rule of the monarch sitting and standing is just the first step to respect the monarch, and the modification of the platform is the second step, this is the details, the details determine everything." ”

Zhao Yong doubted: "Didn't the teacher teach the students all the way to keep the world in mind, focus on the overall situation, and stop caring about the details?" ”

Zhao Xing was embarrassed and touched his nose with double standards: "We must resolutely stop caring about the details that are unfavorable to us, and we must care about the details that are beneficial to us." Then he hurriedly threw away the thoughtful Zhao Yong, "The platform is either lowered, so that the standing courtiers can only guarantee to bow their heads all the time in front of the king, in order to show their bowing to the courtiers." Or simply increase the height, so that the monarch is high, and the standing ministers must look up to the monarch, so that it can better reflect the high and respectful monarch. ”

Everyone thought about it, and then demonstrated, sure enough, everyone stood in front of Zhao Yong, who was sitting upright, and really couldn't help but bow their heads and look down, and they had a natural and humble attitude, but the height of the original platform was that the monarch and the sitting minister could talk at eye level, but now everyone bowed their heads but did not achieve the goal of completely bowing their heads.

If the platform is lowered again, it will be even more sufficient. The fly in the ointment is that Zhao Yong is right, he needs to tilt his neck all the time, and he is very tired.

But raising the platform made it inconvenient for the monarch to climb up and down, and there was danger, so in the end everyone chose to lower it, and it was also called the monarch's lowering of his status to show that he was close to the ministers.

The Zhao people do not pay attention to the rules and are willful, which is also the reason why the Zhao State often has civil strife and finally destroys the country. But Zhao Xing came to Zhao State, if you want to make Zhao State bigger and stronger, and finally unify the world, you must start by establishing rules.

Now this is just a small step in the plan to establish rules, but this small step has been taken, and the concept of rules has quietly entered the hearts of the people, and then it will slowly change the character of the entire Zhao people, and finally change the fate of the entire Zhao country.
