Qili, Fuping Houfu's Mansion, from the outer courtyard to the inner house, there are flickering figures of servants and maids everywhere, and the quiet and peaceful Hou's Mansion on weekdays has become a bit chaotic. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe reason why this is the case, the master of the Hou Mansion of Gain, has been declining for a year, and the period of filial piety has expired, and he has finally returned.

It was originally something worth celebrating, but in terms of the nature of the matter, it seemed inconvenient to celebrate, so Zhang Fang had been quiet since he returned home from Fengqiyuan. However, Zhang Fang also knew that this silence would soon be broken, and the time would be when the Son of Heaven summoned him to the palace to confer the knighthood.

Two months ago, the crown prince Liu Biao revealed to Zhang Fang that his father was very satisfied with his filial piety, and he regretted the death of both his parents. This was good news for Zhang Fang, because the Han Dynasty had a rule that if the princes did not have a real position, they were not allowed to stay in the capital and had to return to the feudal state.

Although the servant is only an official and not a real position, it is of a special nature and belongs to the internal court officials. Attendant to the emperor, in and out of the court, and Wen Dynasty government, at the same time also have the responsibility of guarding the palace, free access to the prohibition. Generally, only nobles and relatives who are very trusted by the emperor can get this noble official title. If Zhang Fang hadn't survived this year, with his previous reputation, even if Emperor Yuan reluctantly let him take the title for the sake of the dead imperial sister, he would have no title, and eight or nine times out of ten he would not be able to stay in Beijing.

However, for Zhang Fang, there is one more important thing than the knighthood, or in other words, the premise of the knighthood, that is, the crown.

In ancient times, the crown ceremony was performed at the age of twenty, but the princes of the Son of Heaven were exceptional, and they could be crowned when they ascended the throne or were knighted. The crowning represents an adult, and only an adult can rule a country. Zhang Fang has reached the age of sixteen, and the imaginary age is seventeen, and it can be said that he was crowned at this time. Generally, the crowning person is the father, but Zhang Fang's parents are dead, so he can only ask the elders to act on his behalf.

The Zhang family is relatively thin, and most of them do not have a long lifespan, and there are only two remaining elders: Zhang Ping, the head of the second room, and Zhang Xuan, the head of the third room.

As early as the day before Zhang Fang returned to the house, Zhang Ping and his son Zhang Yu entered the house first to wait for the Hou. After Zhang Fang washed, Zhang Ping and his son went to the middle hall to visit. Although one of these two people is a middle father and the other is a clan brother, Zhang Fang, who is about to attack the knight, can only bow down.

During the period of Zhang Fang's guard, Zhang Ping and his son went to worship and visit once in the cold food and the first season of the year, the bitter cold made the father and son change color, and the most incredible thing for them was that the young gentleman, who had always been pampered and had never been able to endure the slightest bitterness, was willing to eat and calm.

In the past, Zhang Ping thought that his son was better than the son of the eldest (Zhang Lin), but now seeing such a huge change in his nephew, he can't do it with this act of mourning alone, Zhang Ping doesn't know what it feels like.

Fortunately, Zhang Fang is about to win the crown, so that Zhang Ping can find a psychological balance - whether you are a liehou or the head of the family, you have to ask me to do this crown ceremony.

Zhang Ping posed as an elder, reached into his sleeve, and said slowly: "Young son, I have a few words here, you see which one is better......

Because Zhang Fang corresponded with all the nobles and young people, they all called him "young son", so the elders also called him this way. However, after Zhang Fang is crowned, it is estimated that except for a few die-hard friends such as Liu Biao and Yu Tian, who still maintain this title, most of them will be called by the word - yes, after the crown, it is the word. You can start by yourself or by your elders. Looking at Zhang Ping's posture, he is going to take care of this item.

can write for the next Fuping Hou, Zhang Ping's feeling is ...... Well, a bit like the godfather of the West in later generations.

Before Zhang Ping's hand came out of his sleeve, he was stopped by a flat voice: "Don't worry about your father, the word of the little nephew has been taken." ”

Zhang Ping was stunned and squeezed out a smile: "Ah! Hehe, it turns out that the young son took the word by himself, I don't know what the word is, how about saying it and letting my uncle refer to it? ”

Zhang Fang shook his head: "I didn't take it, I asked the elders to take it on my behalf, and the same is true for the main crown." ”

Zhang Ping was not happy at this time, and said with a tiger face: "Who else is there in this mansion?" Shu Yang? ”

Zhang Fang shook his head again: "It's not an uncle, and it's not an elder in the house." ”

Zhang Ping was stunned, exchanged glances with his son, and was a little breathless: "The young son is cautious, crowned, taken words, and is a big deal." If it is not a person, it is shameful to laugh at a small matter, and it will affect the family's reputation and a big matter......"

"We'll find out tomorrow." Zhang Fang smiled, "The little nephew guarantees that this person will not disappoint my uncle." ”

Zhang Ping opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but found that he couldn't say anything more, so he had to look at his son.

Zhang Yu coughed lightly and was about to speak.

Zhang Fang smiled and said: "This gentleman's identity is not under the first examination, and he is definitely worthy of the ceremony of presiding over the crowning." Uncle had better not fight, so as not to see him tomorrow and add embarrassment. ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yu suddenly didn't dare to speak, and turned his head to look at his father. Zhang Ping couldn't say anything more, so he just dropped a sentence of "I hope so" and left depressed with his son.

Looking at the back of Zhang Ping's father and son slipping out, the corners of his mouth hooked up a sneer. He understood Zhang Ping's intentions - in front of all the clansmen and retainers of the Zhang family, as the elder of the Zhang family, he chose and crowned himself. In this way, you will be able to stand up to yourself in the future...... I can only say, thinking too much.

In March of the fifth year of Jianzhao, in front of the temple of the North Mansion of the Marquis of Fuping, relatives and friends gathered to witness the coronation ceremony of the young marquis of Fuping.

Dressed in a black and red curly dress, with a net on his head, and a forehead covered with hair, Zhang Fang led his relatives and retainers to bow to the spiritual seat of the temple.

When the main crown appeared, Zhang Ping's father and son's mouths opened and closed, and they were speechless for a long time.

Liu Xiang! It's actually Liu Xiang!

Liu Xiang is a contemporary Confucian, and a former Zongzheng, every year, I don't know how many powerful people and clan relatives offer generous gifts, and ask him to crown on his behalf, but Liu Xiangshu paid little attention to it, and never expected it......

Zhang Ping finally understood the true meaning of what Zhang Fang said yesterday, "It's best not to fight", fortunately he didn't fight, otherwise he would have been embarrassed to go home.

Zhang Ping was happy, but his heart was full of taste, but he heard Zhang Fang laugh in his ears: "My nephew wants to ask my uncle to praise the crown, but I don't know what to do?" ”

The crown is the assistant of the main crown, and is usually also served by an elder or a close friend. When Zhang Ping heard this, he knew that it was his nephew who saved some face for himself.

Zhang Fang said in a low voice: "I didn't tell in advance, I was worried that my uncle would not hesitate......"

Zhang Ping shook his head with a wry smile: "Liu Zizheng is the main crown, and I am already honored to praise the crown, how dare I not hesitate?" If my brother has a son, it should be my Zhang family's luck. ”

Everything is ready, and the crown ceremony begins.

Zhang Fang sat down impromptuly, and the guests were seated on both sides. Praise the crown Zhang Ping combed his hair, pulled the bun, and added the bun for him, and wrapped the bun with a black tie. The main crown Liu Xiang took the cloth crown from Yousi, congratulated Zhang Fang, and then added the cloth crown to him, Zhang Fang got up and returned to the room to change into a Xuanduan suit, tied a red black knee cover, and stood in the south of the room.

After that, there are the same as the first plus and the three plus, which are the same as the first plus ceremony, but the crown is different: then the cloth crown is replaced with a leather cloth, and the white clothes are changed, and the white knees are tied; Three plus plus a knight, change into smoked clothes, and wear a red yellow knee cover...... This is the "three pluses".

In this process, Liu Xiang gave different congratulatory speeches to Zhang Fang every time he was crowned, all of which were exhortations and wishes.

After the three plus ceremony, Liu Xiang helped Zhang Fang up and said: "There are clouds in "Rite", and the man has twenty crowns. The monarch will attack the marquis, seventeen and crown, which is also in line with the ancient rites. Monarchy is arrogant, with the ambition of Yi Xiao for nine days, but the word 'Yi Xiao'! ”
