……

Not to mention that Zhao Hou did not play cards according to common sense, and did not bow down to receive gifts, so that Liu Gongding was embarrassed for a long time in the same place, only said that after receiving the gloss, the lacquer box given by the Son of Heaven was respectfully welcomed to the Zhao family temple in the city, waiting for the Zhao people to worship and share the food.

After hearing the news, Kong Jiao also took her daughter and walked to the family temple on foot, when she heard that the Son of Heaven gave her husband a gift, she was still a little excited.

In Kong Jiao's impression, when she was a child, not to mention that the princes gave sacrificial meat, even if the monarch rewarded an ordinary carp, her father Kong Qiu would dance happily.

Sacrificial meat is not only a symbol of power and status, but also a kind of recognition, so Confucius was very eager for this, but as a poor man, he could never be treated like this in his early years. It wasn't until he was rewarded by Lu Dinggong and was able to enter Qufu as a ceremonial official that he had the opportunity to witness the process of the sacrifice, and at the same time, as the "slaughter" of dividing the sacrificial meat, he gave himself an inconspicuous part.

Kong Jiao especially remembers that in the winter of that year, her father went home with the sacrificial meat excitedly, and offered the meat that had been left for two days and looked a little stale in the hall, and took her brother and her to worship again and again, and was reluctant to eat it.

And his father's departure is also inseparable from the sacrificial meat. In the year when Zhao Wuxian was listed as a Qing clan, he won the best division of Lu Dinggong, but as a loser in the fall of the four capitals, Confucius lost his position, and in the suburbs, perhaps he did not dare to offend Zhao Wuxian, or Lu Dinggong was angry that Confucius stabbed the hornet's nest, and did not give him sacrificial meat, which is one of the reasons why Kong Qiu was disheartened and resolutely embarked on the road of exile.

It was just the division of the princes, which made Confucius attach so much importance to it, and as for the gift of the Son of Heaven, it was a glory that the Confucian family did not dare to imagine.

However, now, Kong Jiao's husband has won this honor, and for a while, Kong Jiao is also honored.

Outside the temple, she joined up with Le Shi, Ji Huan, Bo Qi and others who came from other palaces, but when they led their children into the Wen Temple under the guidance of Ning Jian and walked into the Wen Temple, they heard that Zhao Wuxian had already raised his face to the prince in the temple.

"The Son of Heaven divides the princes, and will build an altar with five-colored soil, one side and one color, and the princes of a certain party will use white grass to wrap the soil of a certain party, and give it to him together with sacrificial meat, which is called the ...... of dividing the soil and grass."

"Father, Zhao Guo was also divided like this?" The prince asked ignorantly.

"Of course, but last year's sacrificial meat is just ordinary, and its significance is not as significant as this year's gift."

This is probably to inform him of the meaning of the Son of Heaven's gift? This is also part of the prince's education, since the separation of the prince, Zhao Wuxian has paid more attention to Zhao Heng's cultivation.

Unexpectedly, as soon as one foot stepped into the threshold, Kong Jiao listened to Zhao Wuxian and said: "Actually, you don't have to worship it like a god, after skimming off the aura of the blessing of the Son of Heaven, and unpacking the gift box and silk wrapped outside, it is just an expired piece of cold meat, and the taste is probably not flattering......

Kong Jiao was dumbfounded, and stopped at the threshold very rudely, until Le Lingzi next to her called her a few times, then she came back to her senses and walked into the temple silently......

"Just an expired piece of cold meat?" But until the end of the whole ceremony, Zhao Wuxian's words kept echoing in her ears, which made sense, but what her father had worked hard for a lifetime was so worthless in the eyes of her husband?

……

Kong Jiao's concept of etiquette cultivated under the influence of his father since he was a child has been hit hard again, but for Zhao Wuxian, the gift of the Son of Heaven is indeed not a great thing, he didn't even ask for it, but the king of Zhou sent someone to send it.

The essence of the gift is a gift from the Son of Heaven to the princes, and the sharp object is the princes with different surnames, and the Son of Heaven regards it as a symbol of the family surnamed Ji, and it is the embodiment of the status of the princes. And the shouness is also a kind of submission of the princes to the current Zhou ritual order.

However, in Zhao Wuxian's view, although the Zhou Dynasty made great contributions to the development of Chinese civilization and laid the foundation for later generations in terms of etiquette and culture, time has passed, and the era of King Wu of Zhou and Duke of Zhou has passed.

Since the rites are broken, let's simply collapse more quickly, this is the pain of the times, only the old decaying buildings fall, high-rise buildings can be rebuilt on their ruins.

Zhao Wuxian is planning to start anew.

Now that the state of Wu has been defeated, the husband even sent Bo Yao to ask for copper and tin in exchange for the prisoners of the state of Wu, so as to continue to fight against Chu and Yue. Zhao Wuxian planned to return it slowly in installments, hanging the life of King Wu, and letting him pinch each other with the Yue Kingdom of Chu.

Since this "uncle surnamed Ji" is so embarrassed, who else in the world can open his eyes for Ji Zhou Tianzi?

No, the current King of Zhou is just like when he accompanied the smiling face during the Warring States Period, and when he parted his cheeks with Qin Xiaogong and King Qin Huiwen twice, no matter whose thighs it is, hug them first.

In other words, it is now the Zhou family begging for the protection of the Zhao State, not the Zhao State begging the Zhou family to give recognition, just like when the princes were listed, Zhao Wuxian asked Chu Long to say to Liu Gongdan: "You don't respect me, I respect myself!" “

However, for this dilapidated and dangerous building, you can't push it too hard, if the light destroys and doesn't build, the building will crush many people to death after it falls, not to mention that next to every beam and pillar that has been eaten by termites, there are many defenders who hope to treat and save it, boiling frogs in warm water, and letting Zhou De slowly dissipate is the safest way.

What Zhao Wuxian cared more about than the division was that this time, he also received a bow and axe from the Son of Heaven.

Zhou Li has a clear rule: "The matter of conquest can only be decided by the Son of Heaven, and if the minister or the princes want to conquer the rest of the vassal states on behalf of the king, such as the ministers killing the king, the son killing the father, and other unsubordinate actions, they must first be authorized, that is, "the princes give bows and arrows and then levy, give the sword and then kill." ”

Historically, as the chief of the eastern princes, Uncle Wei Kang, Qi Taigong, and Lu Bo have all received similar rewards, giving them the responsibility of conquering neighboring countries and maintaining order in the east.

Therefore, Qin Mugong and Song Xianggong, who have never been obtained, are really difficult to be recognized as one of the "five tyrants".

This time, forced by the power of Zhao to defeat Wu, the king of Zhou could not take anything else to envelop, so he had to reward him, and said: "I will conquer it, and I don't need to kill it!" ”

As far as the eye can see, all sides have surrendered, and there is only one "lifeless person" left in the Central Plains, that is, the Qi State, as long as the Chen clan in power is eliminated, the new Chinese order that Zhao Wuxian has planned for a long time in his chest can be fully established.

Stroking the Tong bow and jade Yue in his hand, Zhao Wuxian showed a trium smile.

Wake up to the power of the world, he has done it.

As for the drunken beauty's knees......

"Your Majesty." It was almost evening, and Eunuch Ning respectfully came to ask Zhao Wuxian where he was going to rest tonight.

"Has the Xuli Palace been renovated?" Xue Li is not a newly built palace, but Zhao Wuxian chose a separate courtyard near the Changqiu Palace and ordered it to be "Xue Li".

Eunuch Ning knew it in his heart and said, "The renovation has been completed, the meals, charcoal fire, maidservants, etc. are all available, and the seventh son of Yue has also moved in." ”

The wives and concubines of the sons of heaven and princes are generally divided into different ranks such as ladies, beauties, belovers, eight sons, seven sons, long envoys, and young envoys. Le Lingzi and Ji Huan are wives, Bo Mi, who gave birth to a son, is a beauty, Kong Jiao, who failed to give birth to a child, is a beloved, and as for Xi Shi, who has just been accepted by Zhao Hou as a concubine and has not yet inherited the grace of the king, he is only a small seventh son.

"Good." Zhao Wuxian pushed the file on the case, and said with a smile: "Layue is cold and frozen, and the seventh son of Yue is a southerner, but I am afraid that I will not be used to it, so I will go over to see her ...... tonight" (to be continued.) )
