The most important thing is that this is a "clear edict", not a "discussion of twists and turns", that is, this is an established decision, it is a "law", and it is not used for you to discuss whether it is feasible or not. Of course, there is no one to stop you from singing the opposite, but the probability of the "superiors" changing their course because of this is extremely low -- there is no benefit in opposing it except offending those in power and making the "superiors" feel that you do not know the general situation and do not know how to advance or retreat.

Especially at this juncture.

In this matter, the audience has been boiling, and the stage has been as smooth as a mirror. In the end, no one came up to express any "official" opinion on it.

For the "Queen Mother's Labor Army" and "Two Palaces Military Parade", which are "groundbreaking" and other big things, the court is completely silent, which is really a miracle.

This situation is an important sign -- it means that after Guan Zhuofan assumed the center of power, after a series of internal and external struggles, his authority was finally initially consolidated.

Of course, there are also people who secretly feel sick: the road is eye-catching!

However, there is not much time for conservatives to beat their chests, and the "big things" are overwhelming one after another.

The first is that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor of the Two Palaces are going to meet with the female emperor of Japan.

The Ministry of Rites, which presided over the matter, was elated when he received this mission, thinking that this time there would be a limelight; But after really starting it, it soon appeared, and it was really sad to die!

Originally, the Li Fan Yuan also wanted to meddle in this matter, but was later kicked out by Guan Zhuofan. Since the Imperial Court was in charge of Mongolian, Tibetan, and Hui affairs, if the Imperial Court were to be involved, it would give the impression that China regarded Japan as a vassal.

And the tone set by Guan Beile is very clear: Japan is not a vassal of China. In the liturgy. China and Japan must be "enemies" -- that is, "comparable, comparable."

This etiquette. Don't say that there is nothing in this dynasty, the Ming, Yuan, Song, Tang, Jin, Wei, Han, Qin, all the way for 2,000 years, and I have never seen it.

Go up again, between the Warring States, the Spring and Autumn Period, and the monarchs, there are many "enemies", but they are all alliances of princes. The prince and uncle, compared to the Son of Heaven, are not in a system.

Go up again, the matter of three generations, the ritual system is scattered, it is insignificant, and there seems to be no example that can be referred to.

The only relatively close "story" is that when Emperor Xuan of the former Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu called Han Evil Shan to surrender.

At that time, Han Yousi Xian said: "Shan Yu is not added by Zhengshuo." The king is also a guest, and the etiquette should be like that of the princes and kings. Say goodbye to the ministers, and rank the princes and kings. ”

Emperor Xuan agreed to the principle of "treating them with courtesy", but instructed that the specific treatment should be improved, and that they should only "sit on the princes and kings" and "praise and praise ministers but not names".

Treating Shan Yu as "the guest of the king" and "on the princes and kings" has the meaning of "enemy". Moreover, when they met, Emperor Xuan also "issued an edict without confession", and repeatedly expressed politeness. But after all, Hu Han Evil Shan Yu is still a "minister", so this "story" is still not easy to use.

For thousands of years, China's foreign exchanges have been devoid of diplomacy in the modern sense. No matter what the name is, the world in the eyes of the Chinese is essentially a large scattered net centered on China. In this big net, China is in the middle of the world, high above, and the spirit of the king is full of energy; In other countries, there is only the obligation to be sincere and respectful.

In China's youth, the mentality of the Chinese people was still relatively healthy, and they recognized that outside this big net, there was another world, and the relationship with China was independent of each other. For example, the Han Dynasty rested in Parthia, Great Qin, and Rome. This is a pragmatic attitude towards one's own forces that cannot be far away.

The older China gets, the more distorted the mentality becomes. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, they simply did not admit that there were still "fish that slipped through the net" in this world. No matter what country is, no matter how far away it is from China, no matter whether it has been heard of before or not, anyone who sends an envoy to China is called a "tribute."

Since they are all here to "pay tribute", they are naturally all subordinates. There is no other day in the Chinese ceremonial system, and there is no room for a foreign state to sit on an equal footing with the Chinese emperor.

This set of snorts, since the Daoguang Dynasty Gengzi Nian British bombardment of the Humen Dajiao Fort, is destined to be unable to continue.

If these things are not changed, China will not be able to have normal foreign exchanges, China will not be able to truly integrate into the international community, and it will be impossible to talk about China's modernization.

Let's start with the reception and Emperor Sakura.

From here, conservatives are relatively easy to accept. Japan's politics and economy have been de facto controlled by China, and the Chinese emperor's reception of Emperor Sakura with a peaceful courtesy can be regarded as a special kind of "courtesy" and a matter of "bondage" within the imperial court. In this way, maintaining a high-minded charity mentality, conservatives will not have any sense of humiliation.

In fact, even if it is not hit, it is not far away.

In the original time and space, not long after sitting on the seat of "Emperor of the Great Manchurian Empire", Pu Yi visited Japan. For this authentic puppet, the Japanese imperial family and government are extremely courteous.

The Japanese ship "Hiei" on which Pu Yi was riding entered the port of Yokohama, and dozens of planes saluted in formation; The emperor's second brother, Prince Yoshihito Chichibu Miya, was waiting at the pier.

Arriving in Tokyo, Emperor Hirohito led the princes and the entire cabinet to the station to greet him; State banquets, entertaining, reviewing the army, and appearing in public at the same time, Hirohito and Pu Yi must go out in the same car, and enter in parallel.

What's more, the emperor's mother, the Empress Dowager Zhenming, broke the routine and feasted Pu Yi in the harem; After the banquet, he and Pu Yi held hands and visited the Imperial Garden. Well, you read that right, it is indeed the Empress Dowager of Japan and the "Emperor of Manchukuo" who visit the Imperial Garden hand in hand - this picture is too beautiful for me to look at, think about it, too...... Drunk.

In this time and space, Pu Yi doesn't know if he can give birth to it, but if he can still give birth to it, Lao Tzu will pump his ass. I hope that forty-one years later, Lao Tzu has not hung up! It's just that it's only 1865, and even Pu Yi's father hasn't given birth yet.

Slightly off topic, Guan Beile means: learn from the enemies of the original time and space, and do superficial things to do. And, to do it, you have to do it enough.

However, this article is really not very easy to do.

The venue where the ceremony was held alone almost made the Ministry of Rites "down".

Taihe Palace, Zhonghe Palace, and Baohe Palace, these "three major halls" can not be selected.

Let's not talk about whether the choice of the "three major halls" is in line with the etiquette system, let's talk about the "infrastructure", and the "three major halls" will not meet the requirements.

Taihe Hall and Baohe Palace, there are high platforms in the palace, and there is a throne on it. At the ceremony, the two heads of state must be seated at the same time, if the ceremony is held in the Taihe Hall or the Baohe Palace, His Majesty Gaotai Dan will have a throne, how to sit?

And that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that at the ceremony, the salute of the Chinese officials who saluted the little emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces was different from the salute to the female emperor of Japan. If the two Yuan are above His Majesty Gaotai, how can they be presented separately?

(It's a little late today, forgive me)
