Within a few days, all the cattle, sheep, and horses that had been ransomed by the Luhui and other departments were delivered, but Xun did not let them go, and told them to wait a few days. In another two days, the young man Tuoba Liwei finally arrived at the front-line base and followed Jie Fen into the tent to meet Shixun. Shi Xun looked at it and saw that this child was quite tall, with broad shoulders and a thick waist, and he was a fierce general. His face was tanned and red, his lips had just grown small tufts of hair, his hair had not grown (because he had not yet undergone a coming-of-age ceremony), and his slightly curly black hair was braided into dozens of long and short braids, which were scattered behind his shoulders - a bit like a certain South American star in later generations, who was it?

After Li Wei entered the account, he first put his hands together to cover his forehead, bowed his head at the same time, bowed deeply, then bent his knees, and then bowed to the end, and then separated his hands to support the ground, and kowtowed. Shi Xun couldn't help frowning, and said in his heart that this is pure Han etiquette, he has learned it like a similar one, I don't know who taught it?

At a glance, he saw that behind Li Wei, in addition to his father Jiefen, there was also a kneeling person, although he was wearing a fur coat, he had a crown in his hair, and he had neither a hair nor a braid, and he seemed to be a Han man. So he stretched out his hand and said, "Who is this?" ”

Jie Fen hurriedly introduced: "This is also a great Confucian of the Han family, and he is a teacher of children's strength." ”

Is Xun Xin talking about a cat and a dog, and he dares to call him a Confucian? was about to be reprimanded, but the man shook his head to the ground and said: "Just explain the Confucian scriptures for adults, so adults think that they are just great Confucians, which is really false." When the world can be called a great Confucian, only Zheng Kangcheng Gong, Zhao Weiqing Gonger, so that the gentleman is Mr. Kangcheng high-footed, and he wants to be a talented man who knows the scriptures, and he dares to say 'big'? ”

The corners of Xun's mouth twitched - even if you have self-knowledge - "What is Qing's surname, what is his name, and what is his hometown?" Why did you get into captivity? ”

The man replied, "Just Liu Xiao, after King Lu Gong." He lives in Jiangxia. Chu Pingzhong was a lang in Luoyang. Dong Zhuo burned the palace to the west. The captives rode vertically and horizontally, because they were taken captive to the north, and they had to be left behind by the Tuan Ministry. ”

After King Lu Gong, the Jiangxia people ...... Isn't that a family with Liu Yan and Liu Zhang? If you want to collect Xianbei, but you have to see a clan, how do you say this...... How can the surname Liu keep seeds everywhere, all over the world!

Shixun nodded, ignoring him for the time being. But he stretched out his hand and shook it, so that Tuoba could weaken. He stood up, paced to the front of the case, patted Liwei's shoulder, and said to Jie Fen with a smirk: "This place is very majestic, I love it very much, and I want to accept it as a fake son, but what?" ”

Jie Fen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he was overjoyed, kowtowed, and said, "If a child has an adult as a father." Better than being king on the steppe! Liwei also hurriedly bowed down again, saying, "Father is above." Receiving the child's gift......" Shixun stopped him: "Wait." The Han family has its own etiquette, and it is not easy to accept fake children. I intend to gather all the generals and all the lords tomorrow to become father and son, to affirm the sincerity of my will, and the loyalty of your heart, but what? ”

Jie Fen and Li Wei agreed, but Liu Xiao next to him frowned, not understanding what Shixun's intentions were.

So in the afternoon of the same day, Shi Xun immediately returned to Yuanyin County with everyone, including Dou Bin and the three captured Xianbei adults. Qin Yi had been ordered to repair the dilapidated school building in the city in advance, and the next morning, hundreds of officials gathered, and Shi Xun put on his court clothes and stood on the top, and ordered Zhuge Liang to guide Zhu Fen, Li Wei, Liu Xiao and others into the main hall.

In the gathering of everyone's surprised eyes, Zhuge Liang's life force knelt down slightly in front of Shi Xun. Immediately, Guo Huai came up, dissolved the braided hair of Li Wei, and tied it back with Chinese customs. Zhuge Liang held a tray in front of Zhixun, uncovered the plain silk of Shangmeng, and saw a small crown woven of bamboo bones and silk on the plate. It is Xun who took the crown, walked a few steps slowly, and put it on his head for Liwei, and applied a hairpin on it and a tassel under it.

Although a lot of procedures have been simplified, all Han people can see that this is a "crown ceremony", and if you have done this ceremony, it means that Liwei is already an adult, and you can start a family or a business.

After wearing the crown, Shi Xun stroked the shoulders of Li Wei and said loudly: "Today I accept you as a son, for your crown ceremony, although you are humble, from now on you are also a Han person, and you should have a Han name." That is, from my surname, the name is Wei. "Huainanzi" has the language of 'Wei Que's Gao', which can be called 'Gaoque'. ”

Liwei hurriedly surrendered his hand: "The child is Wei, please meet my father." The child has been in the Han for a long time, and often hates being born in Beidi, and now he has to be the son of an adult, and he has to be a Han person, and he is overjoyed. We must be dedicated to loyalty to the Han and filial piety to our relatives, so as to live up to the love of adults. ”

Shixun smiled slightly. This remark was not taught by him to Liwei - it was Wei, he originally wanted to see how this little guy would respond to him, but he didn't expect Liu Xiao to train him well, the Chinese dialect was very correct and quite measured.

He said in his heart, from now on, I will be your "black hat pro", and you will be my "consignment"......

It is said that relying on fake children to envelop subordinates may be nonsense, and there are very few Han people who do this. For example, Liu Bei accepted Liu Feng as his adopted son, which was a serious way to classify him into a family, and he might also be allowed to inherit the family business (if Liu Chan and his brothers were not born). As for Dong Zhuo's recognition of Lu Bu as a fake son, Ma Chao said to Han Sui that you don't want a son, I'll be your son, and so on, all of those people have foreign blood, or have lived in Qiang and Hu for a long time, so they are affected by it. Later, Li Keyong received the "Thirteen Taibao", which was even more completely nonsense.

Han people pay attention to blood inheritance, pay attention to their own family name, the relationship between father and son is often just a verbal talk, do not really change the surname, if the surname is changed, it is completely dependent, which is equivalent to losing the ancestors, changing a family, like a son-in-law, will definitely be despised. Therefore, once they become self-reliant as adults, they often want to return to their original sect - for example, He Ping becomes Wang Ping.

The Hu people are different, they don't care so much about blood, lineage, etc., the big clan merges the small clan, they often recognize the people of the small clan as their sons, and give them with the clan surname, not only will the other party not have any dissatisfaction, but will also rejoice - this shows that you treat our clan as your own clan. So when I say to the Han people (of course, the Han people with status, not the ordinary people), I will accept you as an adopted son, and the other party may not be happy - "I am a father, but I will not change my surname." "If you say this to the Hu people, if you are big and small, they will definitely be happy.

So that day, Shixun said that he wanted to accept Tuoba Liwei as an adopted son, and Jie Fen immediately agreed, and Liwei was about to kowtow - this identity changed from a hostage to an adopted son, and it was a grade skip, from now on. It's an adult, and I'll definitely treat my Tuoba clan as his closest subordinate!

It's just that Seong-hoon doesn't plan to adopt a son according to nonsense. One is a Han official and follows the vulgar. is afraid that it will attract unnecessary attacks, and secondly, he is not vulgar, so he is afraid that he will not be able to completely control the initiative in his own hands. It's a pity that there are no special rules and etiquette for adopting a child in Han customs, at most it is just a drink once and informing relatives and friends, which is not solemn enough to leave a deep impression on the Hu people. After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of the Japanese.

Japanese medieval samurai groups. An important method of combining with each other is the "sending relatives and sending children system", the big samurai regiment is the "sending relatives", like the father and the family, and the small samurai group is the "sending son", like the son and the family, relying on this virtual parent-child relationship to bring people's hearts together. In a sense, this is consistent with the effect that the Xun Receiving Tuoba Department hopes to achieve.

In Japan, there is also the custom of "ebony hats". That is, when the teenager performs the "Yuan Dress Ceremony", that is, the crown ceremony, he will find a person with a higher status to preside over it. And finally help the teenager wear a "black hat" that represents adulthood. In the samurai regiment, it is often the upper samurai who wears ebony hats for the children of the lower samurai, becoming their "ebony pros", that is, protectors, and "giving favoritism". Basically, it is equivalent to saying that the two parties are not only in a father-son relationship, but also in a master-slave relationship at the same time.

So Xun learned from it, but replaced the Japanese Yuanfu ceremony with the crown ceremony of the Han family, and not only gave one or two words, but simply gave his surname to Liwei, and also gave a Chinese name and a table word. So what's the name? He thought that the descendants of Liwei would establish the Northern Wei Dynasty (if history develops as usual), so he simply used the word "Wei".

Although the Cao family may also establish the Wei Dynasty in the future, they have never avoided the name of the country, and there are Xu Guanghan and Wu Han in the Han Dynasty, and they have not been ordered to change their names.

After the crown ceremony, the naming was determined, and the words were taken, Shi Xun immediately put his hands on Wei and said to him with a smile - and at the same time announced to everyone - "I am now guarding Shuozhou for the imperial court, and I want to set up the state in Meiji." Gao Que, you are willing to help each other as a father to serve the Huns? ”

It was Wei who seemed to squint and glanced at his father, but even Zhengse replied: "The enemy of the adult is also the enemy of Wei." Please give the Tuoba Department to Wei, Wei will unify the army from the north, and the adults will attack Meiji, and there is no reason to win! ”

Shi Xun smiled secretly in his heart, and guessed that you wanted to take the opportunity to get all the people back for nothing, but well, I still have a surprise for you. At that moment, he patted Wei's shoulder and looked left and right: "What Wu'er said, is it quite majestic?" Everyone hurriedly agreed: "There is a tiger father like the envoy, and there is a tiger son." Shi Xun laughed loudly, and then said to Shi Wei: "The Tuoba Department is weak and weak, and it may be difficult to fight Meiji with me - I not only belong to your subordinates today, but also have five thousand good horses, cattle, and sheep, and a weapon and a cane." My son works hard, and he does not live up to the hope of being a father. ”

Jie Fen and Wei were overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him. Dou Bin and the others next to him couldn't help but twitch their facial muscles, and said in their hearts that we used the animals to ransom people, who would have expected to turn around and let the Han people give them to the Tuoba Department...... Jiefen is really a blessing in disguise! Dou Bin saw the opportunity the fastest, and hurriedly took a step forward to express his attitude: "The villain is also willing to surrender to the Han and sacrifice his son as a hostage." ”

Shi Xun sneered and shook his head: "No need, why do you need more Jia'er." Dou Bin's face was red, and he almost couldn't get off the stage. Immediately, I heard Shixun say again: "Before you, you and the other five tribes attacked me, and now Tuoba is to marry me, and your three tribes will be redeemed in a few days." The remaining one...... What's the name? ”

He asked the unlucky Xianbei lord who died in battle, and Jie Fen hurriedly reminded: "Da Xi's family." Shi Xun nodded: "I will hand over the remnants of the Daxi clan to my son." He looked around at the three adults: "You should help me take it." Although Dou Bin and others were unwilling and unwilling, they had to bow down and agree.

Who thought that Shi Xun was not finished, so he immediately asked them: "Do you want to submit to Han?" Dou Bin has already opened his mouth, naturally it is not easy to regret it, although the other two have not spoken, and now they are prisoners on other people's territory, how can they have the courage to object, so they have to express their stance and say: "Han is very strong, and we all want to be ministers." "Yes Xun said that's good, you all write your own stamps, let me hand them to Xudu-" After that, he will be my son's subordinates, and he will accompany the conquest, taking Meiji in the south, Yuputou in the west, and Budugen in the east, do you have any objections? ”

When Dou Bin and the others heard this, they were all taken aback, and hurriedly looked up, but saw that Shi Xun's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was smiling, and he was staring at himself. Dou Bin had no choice but to admit it: "The son is also the wife and nephew of the villain, and he should be his assistant." The other two adults also had to bow their heads and echo...... (To be continued......)

PS: Book friend Liu Xiao appeared on the stage, and everyone applauded and welcomed. From the current point of view, except for his deceased friend Sun Yunan, Lao Jing and him may live longer...... Who said that when he needed a character who couldn't get a bento, he took the initiative to join in? Luckily, the time is really good.
