Chapter 1381: Confession
No matter how heavy the snow is, there will be a day when the snow melts.
It's beautiful when it's snowing.
It's ugly when the snow melts.
In this way, nature seems to be telling the parasitic man on him that he can give beauty and evil.
Fei Qian stood under the altar, sat upright, and did not look at Lu Bu, Chen Gong and the others.
The altar has three floors, based on civil engineering, with white stone as the railing, and flags are planted around it, and it is not built high, at most it is five or six meters high, but it is condescending enough to give the people on the ground a certain sense of oppression.
There should be a sense of ritual in life, and the same is true in the political workplace.
When an official arrives at his post, whether he comes by himself, is sent by a person sent by a higher department, or is sent to his post by a special person organized by a relevant department, or is specially convened to publicly announce it in front of all members, and so on, the meaning behind each is completely different, and the meaning it represents is also different.
Xun Chen acted as a ceremonial officer, standing in front of the steps of the altar, the drummers and musicians sat around the altar, the bells and drums had been in place, and the guards stood at the four corners, holding axes and halberds.
Two quarters of the day.
The little official in charge of keeping the time nervously watched the floating arrow in the leaky pot slowly point to the predetermined scale, and hurriedly grabbed the red corner flag on the side of the leaky pot and raised it high.
The bell rings.
Almost all of them shook with the sound of the bell and couldn't help but straighten up.
Xun Chen glanced at Fei Qian slightly, and then raised his head and shouted: "Enter"
Drums and bells rang out in unison, stirring up the four directions.
The confessor trotted in front of Fei sneaking in, and then bent down to lead the way.
Fei Qian had high crowns and long sleeves, put his hands in his sleeves, and slowly followed the confessor to the altar step by step. The confessor bowed, stepped aside, and walked step by step towards the altar.
Drums hundred.
To the sound of drums, Fei Xi walked up to the top of the altar and then stood still.
Drumming.
Xun Chen raised his hands high, raised his big sleeves, as if pulling out two flags, and worshiped with chanting: "Sacrifice"
Nine drums and nine rings.
To the sound of bells and drums, Fei Qian also bowed to the offerings and tablets on the table in the middle of the altar.
The four corners of the altar are half-kneeling.
Lu Bu Chen Gong and others also knelt down together, as did the rest of the officials who watched the ceremony, and even the people who watched the excitement from a distance also knelt on the ground, ignoring the mud that melted snow on the ground.
Han people, kneeling in the sky, kneeling on the ground, and kneeling in the middle of their parents. As for the king, most of the time he does not need to bow down. The altar is the place where heaven and earth are announced, so it is necessary to bow down, otherwise it is disrespectful to heaven and earth.
For a time, the heavens and the earth were quiet, only the fragrance on the central table of the altar rose.
In the midst of the smoke and the green smoke, he closed his palms and closed his eyes in silent prayer.
After praying, Fei Qian stood up.
Xun Chen, the official of the "dedication" ceremony, kept up just right.
Fei Qian took the wine lord handed over by the attendant on the side, then raised it high, and then offered heaven and earth.
Then three sacrifices were made, and finally fresh melons and fruits were offered. Fortunately, Feiqian now has a greenhouse, otherwise these fresh melons and fruits can only be replaced with dried fruits......
Then the whole dedication is over.
After the dedication is completed, it is the sacrifice.
Sima Hui, who temporarily served as a priest, held the sacrificial text, sprinkled with joy, spoke at length, suppressed and frustrated, and impassioned.
Since Sima Hui had expressed his willingness to participate before, it was impossible to do anything to clear the shelf, and when Fei Qian said that he was going to do a ceremony to worship on the altar, something like reading a sacrificial text, Sima Hui was naturally willing to do it.
It can be used as a stepping stone for the Sima family to enter the Zhengxi Group, and it seems to have a high status, after all, the people who read the sacrificial texts have always been people with status, such as Confucianism or something, although Sima Hui thinks that his knowledge is also good, but after all, he is still a little short of the recognized Confucianism, so there are always not too many things that can be put on the body.
Lu Bu knelt on the mat under the altar, maybe he had been kneeling for a long time, or maybe he hadn't rested well before, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, so he had to use his hands to prop up on the mat to stabilize his figure.
Sima Hui's sacrificial text Lu Bu listened, but he didn't hear a word, and he kept thinking about the events of the past few days in his head.
Last night, Lu Bu and Chen Gong talked for a long time.
Although Chen Gong also tried his best, firstly, the time left for Lu Bu was short, and secondly, Lu Bu did not have any resources at hand, and the so-called Qiao Woman was still difficult to cook without rice, coupled with the position of the Assassin of Bingzhou, it was indeed urgently needed by Lu Bu and others, and the temptation was great, so he could only bow his head first and admit it, and then find a way to move it in the future......
For example, the more direct and simple way is to ask Emperor Liu Xie to officially confirm the canonization again.
Specifically, after Lu Bu took office, he paid tribute to the imperial court in the name of the history of the state assassination, and if Emperor Liu Xie accepted it and gave a formal palindrome, it would be equivalent to being able to break away from the sequence of Fei Qian and return to the orthodox sequence of the court.
It's like Liu Bei became a Xuzhou pastor, and then he went to pay tribute in the name of Xuzhou Mu.
Of course, this plan is simple and simple, but after all, Lu Bu hated Liu Xie and Cao Cao before, and there is not much hope that it can be finally realized......
There are other methods, but those methods are more unacceptable than the previous one, and they cannot be made public.
Lu Bu under the altar was thoughtful, and Fei Qian, who was above the altar, looked at Sima Hui, but he was actually thinking about some things in his heart, and these things had little to do with Lu Bu. To tell the truth, Lu Bu has reached today's situation, even if Lu Bu rebels for this or any reason in the future, Fei Qian has also gained fame, and today's grand ceremony will become a thing that everyone talks about and spreads to the Quartet, and everyone will know that Fei Qian gave Lu Bu more than standard treatment because of his previous friendship in Luoyang......
Since a guy like Lu Bu can get such a status, doesn't that mean ......
But again, such a sub-seal will also bring some drawbacks to Feiqian.
In fact, strictly speaking, the Han Dynasty's system of state and state assassination is a historical regression! Since ancient times, only a unified centralized power in China will become stronger, even extremely strong!
In fact, the feudal system of the West is not suitable for China, and only centralized power is ......
But now it can only be a temporary compromise.
In short, things are always like this, just like winter snow, when it rains beautiful and dreamy, when it melts into mud, you can't say that you can't melt snow as long as it snows, right?
What's more, it is more important to gather talents and promote the reform of Confucianism.
Confucian reform is not Fei Qian's originality, as early as Wang Mang's period, because of the sharp contradictions between the government and the opposition at that time, in order to alleviate such contradictions, Wang Mang once launched a large-scale reform, involving a lot of aspects, including the improvement of Confucianism, but it is obvious that Wang Mang's restructuring touched too many interests, and eventually led to the world was opposed, the court collapsed, and all the changes were knocked to the ground, and even intensified.
This is a lesson in front of us, a bloody lesson, just as the so-called things of the predecessors and the teachers of the future. Fei Qian is naturally worried about whether he will repeat the mistakes of the past, whether he will be cut off in the future, and after his tongue is pulled out, he will be made into a specimen and placed in the arsenal of the court......
When the wind and snow fall, the sound is huge and boundless, but when the snow melts, it moistens things silently and quietly.
Fei Qian raised his eyes and looked around, and his heart moved slightly.
Since the exclusive respect for Confucianism, Confucianism is the domination of the world, at that time the selection of virtuous and virtuous people is mainly based on "setting up science and shooting strategies", and Confucianism has to stick to the way of "teacher law and family law" in order to obtain fame, so Confucianism inevitably goes to rigidity, forming a cumbersome style of study of "vain chapters and sentences".
The reason is very simple, not all schools or Taixue can use some questions according to local conditions like Fei Qian, many times the exam is a form and means, in order to get a better ranking in such an exam, there are naturally corresponding tricks and methods, just like the later generations have also produced many high-scoring and imbecile people with exams.
In order to highlight the difference between themselves and ordinary scholars, many Confucian disciples began to enjoy the same kind of Confucian studies as Confucius Yiji did, and at the same time, in order to prove some of the shocking remarks they made, Confucianism gradually became rigid and further deified, and Confucius changed from a human being to a non-human being to a saint.
As a result, Confucianism could neither educate the people with morality nor help the imperial court stabilize society, and chaos in the world gradually appeared.
Is it that in the whole process of the Han Dynasty, there are no sober people?
Neither is it.
There are many people who think of the need to improve Confucianism, and the representative figures are Yang Xiong, Liu Xiang, Liu Xin and his son.
Yang Xiong believed that to improve Confucianism, we should first learn from other scholars other than pre-Qin Confucianism, especially absorb the advantages of Taoist doctrine, and strongly demanded the restoration of Confucian orthodoxy. This method is tantamount to negating Dong Zhongshu's neo-Confucianism and modern literature and classics, so no one pays attention to it. Liu Xiang and Liu Xin father and son then changed their methods, devoted themselves to the revival of the pre-Qin Zhuzi Studies, re-studied and sorted out the works and doctrines of the Hundred Schools of Zhuzi, absorbed the strengths of the Zhuzi Doctrine and improved the modern literature and classics, and then launched an ancient literature and classics that tried to overthrow the modern literature and classics.
These people all disappeared with Wang Mang.
There are many reasons for the failure of Wang Mang's reform, but the most fundamental point is that it harmed the interests of the princes and nobles, bureaucrats and local tycoons at that time.
The older generation of Confucian bigwigs, basically, are ideologically biased towards the ancient scriptures, but they have to use the modern scriptures, the main reason is that there are too many people who study the modern scriptures, which have been implemented for two or three hundred years, and have become too many people's jobs, so even if they are dissatisfied, it is not easy to cut off the modern scriptures.
Today's situation is very similar to Wang Mang's time, the imperial power has fallen, the court has attacked separately, the princes everywhere think they are in power, the frontier is not too peaceful and healthy, there are beacon smoke and war everywhere, retro is impossible, because the ancient system is not suitable for the current environment, and it is not possible to respect the present, because many of the current systems have been ossified and lagging behind......
Fei Qian looked around, and as far as the eye could see, there were small people. These are the ordinary people of Binh Duong, watching the lively people. In the vast majority of times, these people are watching the excitement, they can't understand it, and they can't see the exchange of interests at the political level, but no matter what kind of interest exchange, the ultimate bearer is these people who are at a loss to watch the excitement.
"Grant"
I don't know when the sacrificial text will be read, Sima Hui retreated to the side and gasped, even Fei Qian could hear the snorting, and the loud reading for a long time was not a relaxing thing for the elderly.
The sound of bells and drums is loud, and there is quite the sound of gold and stone killing.
Fei Qian's train of thought was interrupted, and he took the scepter representing the history of the state and held it high. The attendants knelt on the ground and lifted the lacquer tray with the ribbon above their heads.
The golden bell struck, and in the aftermath, Xun Chen shouted: "Worship"
Lu Bu stood up, and under the guidance of the confessor, walked up to the altar on the first floor, and then performed a simple prostration. After the end, I walked to the second floor, said goodbye, and finally walked in front of Fei Qian step by step.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
When Lu Bu was marching, the drum beat the three links, and stopped abruptly when Lu Bu climbed the last step of the steps, and then after three breaths of silence, the bells and drums rang in unison, majestic and passionate, and there was a simple and magnificent beauty.
In front of the altar, the twelve dancers lined up under the altar began to dance the dance of the Great Martial Arts to the sound of bells and drums. The Dance of the Great Martial Arts is divided into six sections, and Fei Qian has only chosen three of them now, one is to lead the army, one is to fight fiercely, and the other is to return triumphantly.
Fei Qian is a liehou, so he is naturally qualified to enjoy Zhongle, but he cannot exceed the royal family in terms of numbers, that is, he cannot exceed thirty-six, of course, when the royal family really puts the score, it is often not thirty-six, or even three hundred and sixty.
At the end of the dance, the trumpets and drums sounded in unison, and then stopped at the same time, and only the sound of the flags on the altar could be heard between heaven and earth hunting and flying in the wind.
Fei Qian held the scepter with both hands and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.
Lu Bu lowered his head, as if he hesitated for a moment, but finally knelt down on one knee, took the scepter from Fei Qian's hand, and then stood up, and immediately an attendant hung the ribbon and sac on Lu Bu's waist.
Lu Bu turned around and faced under the altar, and suddenly the sound of drums reappeared, accompanied by the cheers of the people under the altar, as if it was earth-shattering. The musicians struggled to play the last movement of the whole link, the song of the wind.
"The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet."
The tune of the Dafeng Song, which has been inherited for three or four hundred years, has just risen, including the officials of Pingyang who greeted the ceremony, and the people of Pingtou couldn't help but sing along, this song shows the heroism of the entire Han Dynasty, and also witnesses the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.
The man is strong, the woman is tactful, the old man is vicissitudes, the young child is immature, and they sing in unison, although there are only three sentences, but under the repeated three-fold chanting, under the accompaniment of the sound of bells, drums and gold and jade, there is a majestic momentum rising to the sky!
Lu Bu listened to it, and he couldn't help but burst into tears, howling loudly, and participating in the chorus loudly, "The wind is blowing and the clouds are flying, Weijia is returning to his hometown, and the warriors are guarding the Quartet......"
Fei Qian stepped forward, stood beside Lu Bu, and stretched out his finger: "Brother, remember this moment...... The cheers of these people are not for the size of your official position, but for the ...... Warriors defend the Quartet! Shelter the people and rejoice! ”
“!”
Lu Bu turned his head suddenly, but saw Fei Qian's gentle smile, which seemed to be a little dazzling in the sun......
