Zhang Xiao was ordered by his father last time to observe the New Year at the end of the year, he didn't know anything about it, so he had to follow his mother's words to visit Zuo Shi to understand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
During the Warring States Period, the Zhou Tianzi was weak, and the princes were divided into one side, and the Zhou calendar used in the calendar began to be different from country to country.
The Zhou calendar, one of the ancient Han calendars, is known as the ancient six calendars together with the Yellow Emperor calendar, the Zhuan calendar, the Xia calendar, the Yin calendar, and the Lu calendar. Although the names of the ancient six calendars are different, they are actually all four-minute calendars, but the month of the first year is different, and the starting point and epoch of the calendar are also different!
Because of the difference in the beginning of the year, the Zhou calendar starts with the month of Jianzi (i.e., November of the summer calendar) where the winter solstice is usually located, the Yin calendar starts with the month of Jianchou (i.e., December of the summer calendar), and the summer calendar starts with the month of Jianyin (that is, the first month of the lunar calendar, which is usually called in later generations). The Zhou calendar is one month earlier than the Yin calendar and two months earlier than the Xia calendar. Due to the different months at the beginning of the three main years, the four seasons are also different.
The calendars of the Jin and Qin countries are based on the Yin month as the first year, and the calendar of the Xia Dynasty is to take the Yin month as the first year, so it is called Xia Zheng, which is consistent with the lunar calendar we commonly use later, so the lunar calendar is sometimes called the summer calendar, and the Zhao State originally belonged to the Jin State, so the calendar of the Zhao State is still the summer calendar used.
Zhao's left master was the advisor to the king, and he was also the advisor to the patriarchal ceremonies, just like the officials of the Ministry of Rites in later generations.
Zhang Xiao, accompanied by Wei Jia, only arrived in the Zuoshi Mansion in Xicheng, and was not surprised by Zhang Xiao's visit to Touchlong, since the king said that the crown prince would serve as the first gift of the year, the prince would come sooner or later.
Touching the dragon waved his sleeves, and the people slowly retreated, and when Wei Jia saw this, he also bowed down. When he came, Zhang Xiao still did some homework, knowing that this Zuo Shi Touchlong had a very good reputation among the people, and he was an old minister of the two dynasties who had been following his grandfather and father.
Seeing Wei Jia and the others retreating, Zhang Xiaocai stepped forward and bowed: "Master Zuo taught me!" ”
Although Touch Long and the prince have little intersection, the prince has also heard of what he has done recently, and since the king can entrust him with such an important matter, can he not do his best?
Touching the dragon is already the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, and he came over to help the prince with his legs and feet and said: "It is the king's order, and Touch Longan dare not do his best?" As he spoke, he walked in front and led Zhang Xiao to the next door!
A heavy snowfall from the north to the south, in the city of Daliang of the Wei State, is also covered in silver, and the fire trees and silver flowers never sleep! In the palace city, the young Wei Anqi Wang Wei Yu is still enjoying the last prosperity under the sunset, but behind this serenity, he does not know that there is already an undercurrent surging......
In the dark, the forbidden gate of the Wei State was finally opened, and the middle-aged man calmed down his panic when he came, and walked into the deep-walled palace under the leadership of the Wei king's chamberlain.
King Wei Anjiao was in the hall where he usually dealt with political affairs, watching the song and dance with his arms left and right, and judging from time to time: "Yes, yes......"
The first half of the warrior army is alive and dead, and the beauties are still singing and dancing! I'm afraid this is the truest portrayal.
King Wei Anjiao was lying in the arms of the concubine on the left, the corners of his mouth were slightly open, and the sleeves of the concubine on the right were lightly covered, and he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, his face was filled with red by the alcohol, and then he hurriedly leaned down and gently kissed King Wei's lips, and a trace of liquid slipped into King Wei's mouth.
King Wei smiled like an enjoyable smile: "En, your lips and teeth are still fragrant!" ”
At this time, the chamberlain opened the door and walked to King Wei, whispering in his ear, King Wei was puzzled: "It's so late, what can you do not wait until tomorrow?" ”
The dancing girl below was dancing at this time, and King Wei looked at the waiter and said: "This dance has been rehearsed hard by Ai Ji for several months, and it is not too late to announce him after this dance is over, right, Ai Ji!" As he spoke, he lightly picked up the woman beside him with his fingers.
The two of them chuckled lightly, and said as if coquettish: "The king ......"
Fan Zuo waited outside for more than half an hour before he was invited to the palace by the chamberlain of King Wei, and when Fan Zuo came in, he could smell the pungent smell of Wei sake, and sure enough, King Wei asked slightly drunkenly on it: "Fan Qing, but what's the matter?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Zuo still knelt down and said: "Fan Zuo has seen the king!" The subordinates heard that the Qin State was going to use troops against the Wei State because of the prince's affairs? ”
When the King of Wei heard this, he smiled contemptuously: "In the cold winter, the army and the people stretched out their hands to relieve the cold, Qin will not either, and besides, the death of the proton of Qin in Wei is purely his own cause, if it is cut down like this, will the world not laugh?" ”
King Wei Anjiao dared to say so, and he still had some capital. Although the Wei State is now in decline, the world still understands the truth that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Moreover, with the efforts of Fan Zuo, Wei is the leader of the six countries of Shandong, and he already has a tendency to prosper.
When Fan Zuo heard this, he said unrelentingly: "Your Majesty, the art of war has clouds: soldiers, treacherous!" Besides, there is no justifiable reason for Qin Guo's apprenticeship! ”
After King Wei drank, it was the wine that was rushing up at this moment, and he couldn't listen to Fan Zuo's words, so he shook his head and said, "Wei Xiang Wei Qi knows?" ”
Hearing this, Fan Zuo said: "Xiangguo didn't know, and the minister met the king overnight after learning the news. After hearing Fan Zuo's words, King Wei said in a daze: "Wei Xiang knows that Qin State uses troops, you report this news to Xiangguo first, hiccup, tomorrow...... We'll talk about it tomorrow morning! ”
As he spoke, he was supported by the chamberlain and walked towards the inner palace. Fan Zuo raised his head and sighed to the sky, and the attendant hurriedly helped him up and said, "The king is up to drink today, Fan Qing has something important to do, let's play it again tomorrow morning!" ”
Fan Zuo reluctantly walked out of the palace, the servants at home were still waiting for him, turned his head to look at the inner city of the palace and said, "Go to Gongzi Wuji's house!" ”
Touching the dragon led Zhang Xiao to the next room, which is the study of the touching dragon, Zhang Xiao saw that it was elegant and simple, because the paper had just been promoted, and there was a freshly dried book paper on the table of the touching dragon.
Seeing Zhang Xiao seeing this, Touch Long picked it up and said: "It made the prince smile, the world said that Handan paper is convenient to write, and the old minister tried it, which is really not bad!" ”
Hearing the praise of the dragon, Zhang Xiao smiled slightly and said: "Master Zuo praised it falsely, it's just a tricky skill." ”
Touching the dragon put away the paper, and when he heard that the prince was so modest, he didn't answer, so he pointed to the bamboo slip on the side and said, "Prince, the minister has already prepared it for His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”
Zhang Xiao saw the bamboo slips on the desk, spread it out and opened it was only a hundred crosses, and when he went back, he finished studying it, and picked it up and prepared to say goodbye.
Unexpectedly, Touch Long took the bamboo slip from Zhang Xiao's hand and said: "The prince forgives the sin, and the old minister pointed out the wrong one to His Royal Highness!" ”
Zhang Xiao's eyes were stunned, a bad premonition rose from his heart, and he took it and said to himself: "I'm really old, and I have a poor memory...... He actually took the brief book of New Year's etiquette to the prince! ”
When Zhang Xiao heard this, she turned around and wanted to leave, but was held down by the touch dragon on her wrist. Touching the dragon pointed to the place where the bamboo slips were pushed like a hill and said: "Prince, please look, these are the simple books that the old minister sorted out in a panic, you look at it first, and then ask the old minister if you don't understand......"
