Chapter 3: Fierce Zhao Feng
"The ancients were fifty and fifty. The princes of the Son of Heaven are nineteen crowns, crowns and listen to governance, and their teachings are also. "Although many vassal states perform crown salutes, the age of crown salutes is not the same, Lu State generally performs crown salute at the age of twelve, Zhou Tianzi is generally about fifteen years old, and Zhao State is generally around nineteen years old. At this time, each country has formed its own set of etiquette systems, and there are not many commonalities in some details, but in some major matters, they are still consistent. For example, to perform the crown ceremony, it must be at the ancestral temple.
The ancestral temple of Zhao is in Jinyang. For a long time, this was the place where the Zhao clan was entrenched. Moreover, to put it bluntly, this is also the place where Zhao Yong's three reform strategies are least thoroughly implemented. A large number of Zhao Yong's uncles and brothers live here, and they have formed their own small circle, and even if others want to come in, they can't get in.
Originally, Zhao Yong was full of expectations for the city, but when he saw the sparse welcoming crowd at the city gate, he felt very uncomfortable. He nodded quietly, and almost no one from the clan came out to greet him, except for the officials, which in itself was an attitude: the city did not welcome him.
"Your Majesty?" Seeing Zhao Yong stop moving, Zhao Bao was a little puzzled. But he quickly understood what Zhao Yong meant, so he persuaded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, this matter should not be resolved quickly, and it is better to deal with it after the crown ceremony." ”
"Well, let's go." Zhao Yong nodded, and quickly came over to understand what he meant. Then he met the officials at the gate of the city, and entered the city with everyone.
Jinyang also has a royal city, but no one has lived in it for a long time, and many of them have been too lazy to repair. Because Zhao Bao presided over this matter, he arranged the renovation work of the palace early. However, the ancestral temple of the Zhao family is still sprinkled and cleaned, and there is no need to repair it. After all, this is the place where the children of the Zhao family are entrenched, and they are still very careful about the ancestral temple.
Youyun: Ten years of life is young, learning. Twenty years is said to be weak, crown. Thirty years strong, there is a room. Forty is strong, and Shi. The crown salute represents a person's adult behavior, which needs to be responsible. And the most important of the crown ceremony is the crowning.
Under normal circumstances, the crown ceremony of scholars is three plus, that is, three plus its crown, there are Zibu crown, leather Ben and Jue Ben. Every time he is crowned, there is a congratulatory message, to the effect that he hopes that the crowned person will be able to live a happy and prosperous life after becoming an adult, and soon embark on the road of building a well-off country of the great Zhao State, and so on. Moreover, it is usually someone who puts it on him personally.
As a prince and the Son of Heaven, it is generally the four crowns, but the fourth crown is very special, it is the crown, that is, what Zhao Yong must wear when he meets the court. Many people think that this belongs to professional attire, not in the crown ceremony, so there are different opinions, and there is no unified statement.
What is certain is that the princes and the Son of Heaven were crowned by themselves and not by others. So although as the crown conferrer, Fei Yi only politely took the crown from Zhao Bao's hand, and then leaned over to Zhao Yong, who personally brought it. This point shows the difference between the princes and the Son of Heaven, you must know that in addition to these two identities, they are all brought by others personally.
When Fei Yi took over Zhao Yong, who represented the princes, Zhao Yong was dressed in a seven-chapter patterned crown, wearing a red shirt and wearing a crown of seven jade symbols of the princes, Fei Yi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Finally, it was the day of Zhao Yongguanli. After this day, Zhao Yong will be the princes of Zhao in the real sense, from today on, every order of Zhao Yong represents the attitude of Zhao State, and others will treat him as a monarch in the real sense. Fei Yi has waited too long for this day.
However, when Zhao Yong put it on, he still did not walk out of the ancestral temple, but his eyes were still looking at him. Fei Yi glanced at Zhao Bao, Zhao Bao was also a little puzzled, and thought, could it be that I forgot something and didn't prepare it?
But he searched carefully for a long time, re-went through the process, and found that nothing was missing, and everything was right. He glanced at Fei Yi suspiciously, and Fei Yi also looked at him blankly, not knowing what Zhao Yong meant. Zhao Bao was bold and said to Zhao Yong: "Your Majesty, the four additions have been completed, you can go outside the temple to thank the guests." ”
"Finished? No, what about my sword? Zhao Yong said blankly.
Fei Yi and the others were horrified, it turned out that this person still remembered his weapon. Zhao Bao then smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Guanli, there are no swords. ”
Zhao Yong looked at the two of them and knew that these two would definitely not lie to themselves. However, he still said: "Since you didn't say it, it doesn't hurt to start alone." As he spoke, he didn't wait for Feiyi to grant it, he personally took his sword and walked straight to the outside of the ancestral temple.
Outside the ancestral temple, thousands of guests who came to watch the ceremony, after seeing that the four crowns were ready, Zhao Yong had not yet appeared, and was wondering, but saw Zhao Yong walking out in a gown and saluting himself, but the most eye-catching thing was the bronze sword in his hand. Everyone couldn't help whispering, could it be that the crown salute has become popular?
After saluting the guests, Zhao Yong walked to the platform, looked at the dense soldiers on the square, and remembered a classic bridge in TV. couldn't help but raise the sword high, and in the confusion of everyone, he pulled out his sword with a "Zheng" sound, waved it to the sky, as if to pierce the sky, and then shouted loudly to the soldiers: "The sword is invincible!" ”
Facing the scorching long wind, the Honghu totem flag representing the Zhao clan rolled and flew, swallowing the bonfire behind him, smiling hideously. Most of the soldiers under the steps were people who followed Zhao Yongbei to Daijun. This time, as a guard, I came to Jinyang to watch the ceremony. When they saw Zhao Yong's figure, accompanied by the flags and bonfires behind them, the scene of being born and dying with Zhao Yong appeared in front of them again, and finally, the king in front of them was superimposed with the commander on the march at that time, saw his sword, and seemed to see the commander who rushed around in the Zhongshan army and led them to escape.
Suddenly, the soldiers in the front row were the first to kneel down and salute Zhao Yong, and then all the soldiers gradually knelt down and prostrate on the ground, but they didn't know who it was, and took the lead in chanting: "June perch, Rong Che is both strong." Four oysters, carrying is a regular service. I am in a hurry. Wang Yu set out on an expedition to Kuang Kingdom. ......”
"Lord Situ, did you see it?"
"I see, Lord Siko." Zhao Bao wiped the moisture on his face and said indifferently: "The people's will is God's will." ”
"The will of the people is indeed the will of God." Fei Yi also wiped the moisture on his face, "But in this way, it's also a demonstration to the old guys in Jinyang." ”
"Who's to say it isn't? Our lord, the city is really deep! ”
The next day, after the crown ceremony, the guests were invited to thank the guests according to the system. When Zhao Yong came to the main hall, he found that everyone looked at him with awe. This kind of reverence is an instinctive vigilance of the weak. He knew that yesterday's effect was very good.
Most of the people who came to the banquet were Zhao Yong's uncles and uncles. Some of them have not been concerned about political affairs for many years, but they still maintain influence in the court, and some people are still officials, but they are also in places like Jinyang and Zhongmu. He rarely goes to Handan as an official, and the reason for this is that the political climate is different. It's just that in order to maintain his right to speak, he elected Zhao Cheng as the spokesperson for these people.
"Uncles, I will start the crown salute today. According to the etiquette system, I should have visited all of you, but Handan's affairs were complicated and I couldn't stay for a long time, so I prepared a little wine here and invited you all over. Zhao Yong raised his glass and said his purpose, "In the past, Zhao Wenzi made a crown salute and visited Luan Bo, Ju Bo, and even Han Xianzi and other ministers of the Jin State in order to become an adult. Lonely here today, I want you to warn adults to know, and I hope that your uncles will give advice. ”
In the past, Zhao Wenzi performed a crown ceremony, and according to the system, he wanted to visit Zhuqing. As a child of the Zhao family, Zhao Wenzi visited other Jin State secretaries who were as famous as the Zhao family. Including Han Xianzi, the ancestor of the Han family at that time. In this way, it has become the tradition of the Zhao crown ceremony. Zhao Yong said it here, and he was also reminded by Zhao Bao to prevent him from forgetting the rules.
You look at me, and I look at him, but they don't know what to say. Everyone's eyes were focused on Zhao Yong's right hand, the gray-haired old man.
The old man was wearing a deep coat, and after kneeling for a few cases, his eyebrows and hair were white, but his expression looked a little pleasant. He seemed to know that everyone was watching him, he slowly straightened his clothes, saluted Zhao Yong, and said lightly: "The fact that the king can come to Jinyang is a blessing in Jinyang." I've been out of politics for a long time, so how dare I interject again and again. However, the old minister has some ideas, and he wants to talk to the king, and he asks the king to bear with him. ”
Zhao Yong looked at him, smiled and said, "But it's okay to say it." ”
"The old minister's nephew recently returned from Handan and wore a short shirt and shorts, which made the old minister quite angry and beat him violently. However, he also said aggrievedly that this is the clothing that the people of Handan have begun to wear, such as deep clothes and black clothes, and few people have patronized them. It's popular to wear Hufu. The old man said, and even shed two tears.
"Your Excellency, the old minister is not the kind of old fool, I know that the king has worked hard for the great prosperity of Zhao Guo, and he is quite like a Ming Jun. However, this deep-clothed black shirt is my Great Zhou's clothes, and the Hu people are vulgar, and they have been a great disaster for my Zhao State for many generations. Why does the king still want to promote this nonsense! ”
Everyone thought to themselves, this old man was really violent, and he went straight to the point as soon as he came up, completely forgetting that yesterday, Zhao Yong had just given these people a dismissal. Although everyone knows in their hearts that the old man clearly said that it was Zhao Yong's nonsense strategy, in fact, he still hopes that Zhao Yong will not toss, depose all policies, and restore the old system. Hufu is just an excuse. Otherwise, Zhao Yong would not have looked at him with a black line on his face.
Indeed, Zhao Yong did have a black line on his face, he didn't expect that after two years of the Restoration, the Zhao clan in Jinyang still resisted the Restoration. It seems that he is too kind to these Zhao clans.
