When the ministers see the emperor, they must bow down, that is, bow down, this set of stinky rules was formulated by Liu Bang, the uncle of the Confucian ministers, after Liu Bang ascended the throne of the Han Dynasty. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Liu Bang was very excited at that time, and once said, "I am known as the emperor's noble today!" ”

From then on, when ministers met the emperor, they had to bow down. When the minister greets the decree, it is equivalent to listening directly to the emperor's orders, and he needs to kneel down to receive the decree.

It can be seen that the routine of kneeling and receiving the decree came later, and it does not conform to the ancient rites. Since ancient times, even the Zhou Dynasty, which was the most ceremonial, had no subjects who saw the reason why Zhou Tianzi wanted to bow down and worship. When Confucius, the ancestor of Confucianism, saw the kings of the vassal states, he did not have to bow down to the kings, but only to make a bow.

As a border general, Lu Bu used the inconvenience of kneeling in armor as a pretext, and refused to bow down to the inconsequential will issued by the puppet emperor.

Dong Zhuo went to the palace with his sword, and the clothes and decorations in and out of the car were still intended to be in the Son of Heaven, and even so many concubines and palace maids left by Emperor Han Ling in the palace were all slept by him one by one, and he didn't see anyone really get up to resist.

The ten-year-old puppet emperor Liu Xie is nothing more than a clay wooden tire in the court. If Lu Bu really wants to bow down to the holy decree, isn't it equivalent to kneeling to Dong Zhuo?

Therefore, the scene that happened at the gate of Admiral Tiance's Mansion was just a scene played by Lu Bu and Gai Xun!

Gai Xun wouldn't really care if Lu Bu knelt down to receive the decree, because this holy decree was only Dong Zhuo's meaning, and if Lu Bu knelt down for Dong Zhuo, Gai Xun would not like it.

Scribes such as Lu Zhi, Zhang Fan, and Wei Qi would not find anything wrong with Lu Bu refusing to kneel to receive orders. Who the hell is not born with cheap bones, even in the face of the high emperor and the emperor, how many people will willingly bend their knees and bow like children to their parents?

Kneeling to parents is a matter of course. It is only because of the grace of the parents that they are higher than the sky and thicker than the earth. Kneel to the emperor, what kind of truth is this? Is it to thank the emperor for letting you be a minion?

If Lu Bu can abolish the ritual of kneeling and bowing to the monarch and ministers in the future, the vast majority of scholars in the world will applaud and resolutely support it. The reason is very simple, this thing is not in line with Zhou Li, with a strong sense of humiliation and compulsion, who would approve of a real Confucian scholar?

Lu Bu pretended to be angry and went straight back to the mansion. Lu Zhi dragged Gai Xun to the house where he lived to pick up the wind and wash the dust for Gai Xun. Zhang Fan, Wei Qi and others came one after another to accompany Gai Xun to eat and talk.

More than 100 people brought by Gai Xun were placed by Gao Shun and Jia Kui respectively, including musicians, doctors, craftsmen, etc., who were uniformly arranged to live in the camp of the Tiance Army, while the Wang brothers and 20 Tai students were arranged to live in the Tiance Mansion.

When Lu Zhi accompanied Gai Xun to talk about wine, Lu Bu was also discussing things with Zhang Liao, Song Xian and other generals.

Lu Bu said: "There is a great shortage of all kinds of talents in our army, among the more than 100 people sent by Luoyang, there are skilled craftsmen, imperial doctors, and palace people who are good at eating, sewing, weaving, etc., each battalion must seize the time to select some good seedlings from among the soldiers who can serve as apprentices, and I will place them among these people, so that these soldiers can learn some unique skills so that they can serve the army in the future." ”

Zhang Liao asked: "Among these people who came from Luoyang, there are still many musicians, singers and dancers, all for pleasure, how to deal with them?" ”

Lu Bu replied: "These people are also of great use, but they will not be as entertaining the officials and nobles as they used to be, I want to transform them into special talents needed by the Tiance Army!" ”

These kabuki warriors from Luoyang were originally raised by emperors and dignitaries for sexual pleasure, and they had basically no other livelihood skills other than playing music, singing, and dancing. Lu Bu didn't want to be a mediocre lord who died in peace, so he was a little repulsed by these pleasures, but he felt that an army also needed proper cultural and entertainment activities, and if he could train these kabuki singers to be similar to the kind of literary and artistic propagandists of later generations, it seemed to be a good choice?

In the house in the backyard of Tiance Mansion, Wang Cang and Yang Xiao were divided into a room without accident.

Wang Cang looked at Yang Xiao with admiration and said, "Brother Yang, things are really as you guessed, Gai Yuangu (Gai Xun character Yuangu) and Lu Fengxian are really stiff!" Do you think Lu Fengxian will get rid of Gai Yuangu for Dong Zhuo? ”

Yang Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to Wang Cang, a naïve guy, but lay on the couch and stroked his belly, touching and sighing: "Alas, since I left Luoyang, I haven't eaten meat for more than 20 days, and I don't know when I can let go of my belly and eat a meal!" ”

"Brother Yang, how can you be so rude? I'm asking you! Wang Cang was a little angry.

Yang Xiao turned his head and glanced at Wang Cang, and asked rhetorically, "I was rude to you just now, would you want to get rid of me?" ”

Wang Cang immediately shook his head and said, "How is this possible? At most, I won't talk to you again! ”

"You see, it's as simple as that. We can quarrel, but we won't try to get rid of each other, because we don't have that much hatred between us! Dong Zhuo hated Gai Xun so much that he didn't kill him, Admiral Tiance and Gai Xun didn't have any conflict of interest before, how could he kill Gai Xun because of one thing? ”

In another room, the Wang brothers sat facing each other on a bamboo mat.

Wang Ling asked Wang Chen: "Lu Fengxian's subordinates directly sent Diao Chan and the other dancing girls to the barracks, and we lost contact with her, what are you going to do?" ”

Wang Chen frowned and said, "I really didn't expect that Lu Fengxian was not a lustful person, this is completely different from what is rumored!" If Diao Chan can't get close to Lu Fengxian, just the two of us, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move him. ”

"I advise you not to think about such a good thing!" Wang Ling's face showed a mocking expression, "From what I can see, Lu Fengxian will not have anything to do with the anti-Dong coalition army at all!" You see, everything he has done since he left Luoyang has revolved around supporting the army and standing on his own. Such a man with a strong heart and strong means, can just a few dancing girls or the tongues of the two of us shake his mind? ”

"And what do you think we should do?" Wang Chen asked a little anxiously.

"What to do? Stay honestly in Tiance Mansion! Don't make any excessive small moves, lest people get rid of us as spies! There is a shortage of various officials in the Tiance Mansion, as long as we do things seriously and steadfastly, we will naturally be able to be appreciated and reused by the Tiance generals. He also knows that we are from the Taiyuan Wang family, as long as we get his trust, the Wang family will naturally be stable in Bingzhou. ”

While these people were talking, in the cellar, which was only a few feet thick from them, Song Xian and several soldiers were putting their ears on a few copper pipes, eavesdropping on the conversation of these students.

Eavesdropping on other people's voices through the wall is too low-end. Lu Bu directly asked people to bury copper pipes in the ground of these houses, and one end of them was made into the decoration of the house, which was hidden next to the bed, as long as the people in the house did not communicate with their hands, they basically could not escape the surveillance underground.
