The fifth day of the first month of the ninth year of Guangxi. A sunny day.

Now it is the Chinese New Year, although the north is covered in silver, dry and cold, but the lively and auspicious atmosphere is still centered on Crouching Tiger City, spreading everywhere. People put on fresh and beautiful new clothes, hats and shoes, and were busy visiting relatives and friends, and feasting with each other.

If there is a more diligent and dexterous daughter-in-law, she will cook a good meal at home to entertain the guests who come to pay New Year's greetings, and if there is a wealthy family who is more down-to-earth, it is easy to rent a few tables in the restaurant and let people send them to their homes.

Since the herdsmen of the northern steppes were completely subordinated to the Han Chinese, the common people of the Jin Kingdom have stopped worrying about winter and the New Year for many years. And as long as the king, who was loved by tens of millions, stayed in the city of Crouching Tiger for the New Year, the people of the Jin Kingdom had many reasons and excuses to celebrate the blessings.

There is no doubt that Zhao Xing, the king of Pingxi, is the creator of this joy and peace. As long as people see him in the newspaper from time to time a few firm and powerful words, their hearts will be more down-to-earth and inspired.

For example, this time, when Zhao Xing faced Miss Zhang Ziwei, the second beautiful reporter of Jin Daily, he unceremoniously corrected a common sense mistake that people had been talking about for a long time. Zhao Xing said: "Many of our people call the law of the country the law of the king, but this is a big mistake! Since ancient times, the prince has broken the law and committed the same crime as the people. This shows that the laws and regulations are not set by the high king to control the people, but by the whole people to set the bottom line of behavior that we need to abide by. In the future, whether it is officials at all levels or ordinary people, when it comes to laws and regulations, they must not be called the law of the king, but must speak of the law of the country!"

This Zhao Xing is really lenient, and he even has to meddle in the language of the people, which is too unusual!

Other people's families celebrate the New Year happily, but Zhao Xing's family will naturally not be deserted. On this day, as usual, the representatives of the Zhao family, the representatives of the Li family, and the important guests of the Xu, Hu, Ren, Zhang, Mi, Cai and other ladies gathered together.

The people who came to attend this family banquet included Zhao Dadao, the patriarch of the Zhao clan, and several elders in the clan; Li Tingfang, the patriarch of the Li clan, and several elders in the clan; Xu Mantang, Zhao Xing's father-in-law, Hu Che'er, the patriarch of the Huang Xuan clan, Wang Yun, the adoptive father of Diao Chan (Ren Hongchang), Zhang Jian, Zhang Xin's father, Mi Zhen's brother Mi Zhu, and Cai Yan's father Cai Yong.

There are also a few guests with special status, who must also come every year. For example, Liu Rong, the king of Jin, and Liu Qian, the king of Liang, who have become Zhao Xing's son-in-law, are young and handsome. Don't look at King Jin and King Liang are extremely noble in the eyes of outsiders, but at today's banquet, they have no chance to sit in the chief, they must honestly sit at the same table with Zhao Xing's older children.

This is the family banquet of the king of Pingxi, and the set of rules and etiquette outside are all invalid, and everything must be done according to the rules set by Zhao Xing. Of course, the rules set by Zhao Xing must abide by the laws of the country, and the family rules will never be above the laws of the country.

In addition to these guests, Zhao Xing's seven wives, plus more than 30 boys and girls, large and small, also attended the banquet as usual.

In this way, the Zhao Mansion has set up eight tables for the banquet alone today.

In such a happy scene of four generations in the same house, Zhao Xing will always let several patriarchs and several fathers-in-law say some words of blessing and advice, and finally he himself will make a concluding speech, and then the banquet begins, and people of all ages gather to toast and scurry around to find someone to talk to, like the scene of a family gathering in later generations.

There are not many changes in this year's procedures, but when Zhao Xing's two fathers-in-law, Zhang Jian and Cai Yong, blessed everyone, they both invariably mentioned to the children with the largest number of children in the audience that they must learn the laws of the country and take the lead in being law-abiding citizens, which is a bit intriguing.

Sure enough, when Zhao Xing made a concluding speech, he changed his short and crisp style in previous years and spoke to everyone for twenty minutes. And the content of these ten minutes had already been printed in a book, and before he began to speak, it was distributed to everyone.

At first, there were younger children who were quietly frolicking, but they were immediately suppressed by the glaring of a certain lady at this table. Then everyone listened silently to Zhao Xing's loud voice lingering above the beams and roof.

"All people, family members, children, relatives, and friends who are related to me should be models of abiding by the laws of the land, and should not rely on their status to bully the weak, engage in favoritism, engage in speculation, or flout the laws and regulations of the country. ”

"From this day onwards, I declare to the world in all newspapers that all my people, their families, their children, their relatives, and their friends who are connected with me have become criminals in disregard of the laws of the land. ”

"All the descendants of Zhao Xing, who violate the law, will be punished with the same severity as outsiders, and from the date of trial, they will be deemed to have automatically separated from the ethnic group, and will no longer have any right to enjoy the legitimate support and assistance provided by the ethnic group!"

After Zhao Xing's words, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became very solemn, and he saw that the banquet was about to go on. Zhao Xing then put on a smiling face and said meaningfully: "Don't be nervous, the reason why you say these words on this occasion today is not for a certain person or something. Over the years, everyone has been able to behave honestly and do things, and the children are also obedient, and they have not smeared Zhao Xing's face. But as this family gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people, who dares to say that there will be no such people who are ignorant and do not understand the law in the future and cause monstrous disasters outside?"

"We all came from poor families, just imagine how aggrieved we were when we were bullied by those high-ranking officials and nobles? Now that we have become the first family worthy of the name, how many people are watching us? Therefore, we must not only not relax our discipline of our children, but also be stricter than ordinary people, and we must not let them be called "squirrels and insiders who rely on their parents, brothers, and family status to act as powerful outside!"

"I sincerely hope that in a few hundred years, our descendants will remember what I say today, so that they will not invite the catastrophe of death!"

As the first superintendent of the Han Dynasty, Zhao Guochang's speech on an informal occasion on the fifth day of the first month of the ninth year of Guangxi was published by major newspapers in the form of a front-page headline the next day, with the title: "The King of Pingxi Admonishes All the Clansmen".

As several newspapers were sent to various places, a silent signal was transmitted, that is, the Supervision Yuan is not a decoration, but a key department that will really kill heads and move knives, and the big guys are still honest people and officials, don't offend the majesty of King Pingxi, and become the first chicken to be proposed to be beheaded.

The reason is very simple, King Pingxi is so strict with his own people, family members and children, how can he let go of other people who know the law and break the law?
