"Uncle Zheng is really a person who is a big Zhou!" Ji Yijiu seemed to be a little moved.

"The pain of the royal family now is that it has lost control of the world, and what the minister wants is to help the king rebuild this control."

"Control?"

"Yes." Dutu explained in detail, "The Son of Heaven controls the Eight Desolations, one relies on authority, and the other relies on etiquette. Authority governs the surface, and etiquette governs the heart. The basis of authority is hard power. Now the royal family has almost no soldiers, and the land that raises the country is also very embarrassed due to the loss of Wangji, so if you rush to return to you, the royal family will definitely not be able to suppress the princes from all walks of life. The etiquette system is a kind of soft power, since the founding of the country, after hundreds of years of accumulation has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, respect for the king and this kind of righteousness, no one dares to openly challenge. ”

"So you mean to start with soft power?" Ji Yijiu is a smart person, and he can understand it at all.

"Yes, the key to this soft power is a soft word, an invisible force. The advantage is that you don't have to worry about it being lost at any time like hard power such as the army and the homeland, and the disadvantage is that you want to use it but often have nowhere to do it. ”

"Oh? Do you have a good way to take advantage of it? ”

"Religious of the Zhou Rites!"

"Religious?" Ji Yijiu was confused and had no concept at all, after all, this word was still coined by later generations of Chinese from Buddhist scriptures.

However, there is a package to make Zhou Tianzi a religious leader like the pope. He believed that the Zhou metric system was all-encompassing, allowing all behaviors to be followed from birth to death. This is a great way to control everyone in the world, but the reality is almost laissez-faire. ”

"On the one hand, the nobles need to observe etiquette, but the vast number of princes are far away. In addition to the rewards and punishments that can be given when entering Beijing, the Son of Heaven is often beyond the reach of the whip. Typical example is the rebellion of Lu Guoboyu, and it took eleven years for King Xuan of Zhou to free up his hands to punish. On the other hand, the etiquette is not inferior to the common people, and the majority of ordinary people are free from the Zhou ceremony. These people seem to be humble, but they are very important on occasions such as riots in the country. If the king can control these majorities, he will be able to restrain the disobedient nobles in turn. ”

Ji Yijiu's eyes widened, and he was momentarily frightened by these unheard of theories: "Is there really such a god?" ”

"As long as the king is willing to cooperate with me sincerely, the world can be determined."

Dutu stared at Ji Yijiu firmly, and seemed to catch a trace of trust in the other party's eyes. Just when he was about to strike while the iron was hot, Zhou Taibu came to see him. It turned out that he observed the clouds and rain during the day and the sky at night, and had already calculated several auspicious days to report.

"Come on, come on, it just so happens that Uncle Zheng is here, let's see which auspicious day is better." Although Ji Yijiu had already psychologically believed in Dutu, he couldn't digest it for a while, and he didn't want to express his position too early, so he simply took the opportunity to divert the topic.

"This, this is still the king's good ......"

"Decide together, decide together. Not only to set the day, but also to set the specifications, and to set the guests......" Speaking of this, Ji Yijiu suddenly remembered a little, "Speaking of guests, do you still plan to invite Wei Hou?" ”

"Please, please do it all with reason." Digging suddenly bowed and said, "Zhou Zhao changed positions, how can there be an old Zhou Zhao who is not there?" As for whether he wants to come or not, that's his business, and the minister doesn't mind. ”

At this time, Zhou Taibu suddenly announced: "Your Majesty, Uncle Zheng, there is no need to dwell on this matter, Wei Hou has already left." ”

"What? When to go. ”

"On the day of the pilgrimage, I left that night."

"He didn't report to the Son of Heaven? It's so rude. ”

"The people who stayed behind to defend the country also reported to the official today, claiming that Wei Hou was seriously ill and the country was in chaos, so he came to report it."

The Son of Heaven and Uncle Zheng fell silent, and they both seemed to feel that something was wrong.

"Wei Hou just stopped?" Ji Yijiu couldn't help but open his mouth first.

"Zhu Ji Gong pushes, everyone is watching, what else can he do?"

"You won't be like last time, will you?"

"The situation is no longer what it was then. Wei Hou raised troops at this time, not only the chance of victory was very small, but also unpopular. With a calculating person like him, he shouldn't be dizzy. According to Yichen, even if he retaliates, he will make a trick and will not come the surface. ”

"That's right." Ji Yijiu frowned at this time, and continued to discuss the coronation ceremony.

After going back, Di Tu immediately brought Si Jian over and reprimanded him sternly: "Xian Ke, are you busy making money all day long?" Your main business is intelligence! You know! ”

Xian Ke was stunned all of a sudden, and he was so frightened that he lay on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Digging suddenly remembered that they did not hesitate to delay the coronation for the sake of profit, and decided to take advantage of the topic to play and kill the businessman's spirit: "From now on, the fine will be half a year, and it will be reduced to a young division, and it will be a crime." ”

"Jun, Jun, no, I don't know why?" Xian Ke had the courage to ask for a long time.

"Are you too embarrassed to ask?" Dutu almost poked the tip of his nose with his hand and shouted, "The Weihou Dynasty ran away on the day of the Great Meeting!" ”

"Ahh Xianke sat down on the ground.

"Waste, go check on his whereabouts! Paralyzed here for whom! ”

Xian Ke reacted at this time, and quickly escaped with a rolling belt.

Inevitably there were many dreams at night, and the excavation accelerated the progress of the ceremony.

Ten days later, the coronation ceremony officially began. Since it is out of pocket, Zhou Situ, who is doing things, is of course willing to spend money. The complexity of the ceremony is not inferior to the enthronement ceremony of the Son of Heaven. Suburban sacrifices to the temple, slaughtering sacrifices, all the tricks that can be played are all over again. The only more procedure was the canonization of Zhou Tianzi. attaches great importance to these excavations, after all, from now on, all generations of Zhou Zhao will use this as a blueprint and go to Luoyi to be crowned.

It is said to be crowned, but in fact there is no crown to be added. According to European tradition, the emperor had to go to Rome, where the pope would wear the crown and grant the scepter. In China, the scepter could be replaced directly with a jade seal, but it was not very convenient to confer a crown. First, the Spring and Autumn Period people sometimes express authorization by wearing crowns, and secondly, the crowns of Chinese emperors are also complicated to wear, unlike European-style crowns. After thinking about it, he opened up a brain hole again, and actually imitated the way modern college students graduated from tassels.

I saw Zhou Tianzi wearing a big dress and standing solemnly in front. Holy Zhou Zhao bowed to each other, clenched his fists and bowed his head slightly. With the announcement of the celebrant official, the Son of Heaven stepped forward and took out the copper hairpin that fixed the crown and bun, placed it in the wooden plate held by the attendant, and picked up the new hairpin next to it. This new hairpin is made of high-quality jade inlaid with gold, which is many times more gorgeous than the copper hairpin.

Zhou Zhao picked up the golden hosta and gently flicked the crown in front of him. Then turn behind Zhou Zhao and dial the crown behind him again. For a time, the crisp collision of jade beads was endless. Then, the Son of Heaven inserted the hairpin back into the hairpin hole. At this time, Zhou Zhao was crowned and crowned, and then he raised his head. The Son of Heaven cast an eager gaze, handed over the jade seal sent by the official of the ceremony, and began to read the edict aloud.

At this point, the canonization link is officially over. The Son of Heaven returned to the throne, and the new Zhou Zhao turned around gorgeously and accepted the bowing of all the princes.

After all these years of hard work, the digging finally got its wish. In the midst of everyone's cries, his slightly excited chest continued to rise and fall. However, as a maturing politician, he quickly restrained his emotions. Reaching the top is only the first step, and there is still a long way to go.

"The widow is a widow, and in times of crisis, he is enshrined by Zheng Guo, and he is diligent in Wang Weiye in troubled times. There is nothing else to rely on, the protection of the ancestors, and the blessing of all relatives. Digging Tu paused, as if gathering momentum in the air, "Today, the widow is fortunate to be recommended by the princess of Zhu Ji, and he is in the position of Zhou Zhao, and he is very frightened. But I ask all the princes to help each other and rule the world together! ”

After rounds of rendering, the atmosphere in the hall has become like a boiling soup. At the same time, another group of prisons were slaughtered in the hall. The attendants shuttled from prince to prince like ants, handing them bloody ox blood plates, and for a moment the smell of blood filled every corner of the air.

As the leader of the alliance, he solemnly held the cow's ears and put the cow's blood between his lips and teeth: "Today, the son is on the left, and the widow swears here, willing to work with everyone to help the royal family to settle the world, expand the territory, shock the four seas, and subdue the eight wildernesses!"

"May the call be made from Holy Week! May the call be commanded from Holy Week! May the call be commanded from Holy Week! The echo rushed out of the hall and flew straight out of the clouds.

He glanced back at Ji Yijiu with great ambition, and the other party showed his approval. Then he turned around, and he was ready to fulfill his promise and issue the first will of the new week.

At this moment, Digtu suddenly caught a glimpse of a sneaky figure in the distance. He looked at it, and it turned out to be his Si Jian Xianke. This kid looked impatient in the hall, but he didn't dare to trespass on the ceremony because of the etiquette, so he had to wave to the master desperately.

Digging Tu chuckled in his heart, knowing that something was wrong, he was afraid that Wei Hou had made some big news.
