Chapter 660: Establishment of Dengwen Drum
Looking at Gongzixi's appearance like a mourning examiner, everyone couldn't help but feel related.
Seeing this, Qing Ji was speechless.
Gongzixi, I'm afraid he's not racing his acting skills?
His relationship with Yan Ying is so deep?
Sincerely?
However, Qingji is certain that Gongzixi has won a large number of people's hearts by relying on his actor-level acting skills......
This son has a future!
"Yan Yuan, please also mourn and change."
After Qingji mourned the deceased Yan Ying, he came to his son Yan Yu and greeted him slowly.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
At this moment, Yan Yu is wearing linen and filial piety, and the tears in his eyes are still there, but he is not like Gongzixi, crying to death.
It's not that Yan Yu is not filial enough, but this kind of thing is hard to say.
People who are extremely sad may not be able to cry out sometimes.
Yan Ying lived a long life, and lived for eighty-three years before he passed away, and he definitely died at the end of his life.
People have mourning, mourning, and the party is flawless in mourning, how can there be joy.
And the so-called happy mourners, it is gratifying to have both the blessings and longevity of the deceased.
At the age of eighty or ninety, such a funeral for the deceased can be described as a joyous funeral.
Children and grandchildren will not be so sad.
Gongzi Xi cried like this in order to win people's hearts, which made Qingji a little confused.
However, in this era, at least in Wu State, there is no such thing as "joy and mourning".
Therefore, in the matter of funeral, how Gongzi Xi, as a disciple, grieves and cries, it is his own business, and Qingji will not care.
As for the princes of Wu Kingdom, such as Gongzi Hong and Gongzi Heng, all those who were taught by Yan Ying before his death, they also wore white belts on their arms to show their condolences.
The princes who were a little more reserved did not cry for Yan Ying like Gongzi Xi.
"The king, when my father was alive, he instructed his ministers to keep the funeral rites simple, and to bury them thinly, and asked the king for permission, not to reward the funeral things......"
Hearing this, Qingji sighed and said, "Since it is Yan Zi's last wish, the widow should be satisfied." ”
With Yan Ying's status and great influence, Qingji, as the monarch, is indispensable to reward some funeral things.
Even, Qingji may also hold a state funeral specifically for Yan Ying.
It's just that with Yan Ying's person, how could he let Qingji hold a state funeral for himself like this?
Yan Ying was originally a thrifty person.
Yan Ying believes that thrift is the basic quality of a sage.
Therefore, he has a deep resentment from the bottom of his heart for those who are rich, arrogant, extravagant and wasteful......
Yan Ying never accepted gifts, from rewards, housing, to chariots, horses, and clothes, all of which were rejected by him.
Not only that, Yan Ying often gave the money he enjoyed to relatives, friends and Li Shu.
How can such a Yan baby be disrespectful?
"My lord, this is what my father said before his death, and the table written by the ministers should be dedicated to the king. My father said that this was his last recital, and the king should consider it carefully. ”
Yan Yu took out a piece of music from his sleeve and handed it to Qingji.
In front of the mourning hall, Qingji did not immediately open the watch to read, but hid it in his sleeve and looked as usual.
……
After returning to the Zide Palace, Qingji opened the last piece of music that Yan Ying offered for himself-
“…… Birds and beasts are governed by strength, and the strong are weak, so they change hands one day. When the flock goes to salute, it is also a beast. ”
"The ministers govern with strength, the strong make the weak, and the day changes hands, and the king will be settled? The reason why mortals are more valuable than beasts is to be polite ......"
"Open up the way widely, there is nothing to hide, and what Taiwan admonishes can't defeat the people of the first dynasty is not the law of the first dynasty, it is to use water to help water ......"
"The setting of the road drum makes the seclusion of Lu Yan reach the palace above His Majesty, and the mouth of the humble and salty is before the crown, the people are infinite and do not reach, and the soldiers have no grievances and do not stretch."
"This harmony is so smooth, and heaven and earth are intertwined, and the way is governed by it, and it is also ......"
sprinkled more than a thousand words, but Yan Ying gave the most pertinent advice according to the current rule of Wu State.
Yan Ying has been in Wu for ten years, but he is only doing scholarship and spreading his own doctrine.
In the past ten years, Yan Ying has ignored the political affairs of Wu State.
I didn't expect that at the last moment of her life, Yan Ying could still make such a suggestion to Qingji.
"Alas!"
Qingji couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite embarrassed in his heart.
He knew that what Yan Ying said in the recital was the truth.
In fact, Qingji has also prepared to carry out reforms according to the current shortcomings of Wu Guo and rectify the rule of officials, but he has never found a suitable opportunity.
At the court meeting two days later, Qingji summoned the ministers, and all the ministers and doctors with a rank of more than 600 stone in the court must go to the Fengtian Hall to participate in the court meeting.
Ordinary court meetings will not be so solemn, unless there is a major event to announce and discuss the rise and fall of the society......
"Ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"
More than 200 ministers and doctors of Wu State, wearing all the same color of the court clothes, wearing a virtuous crown, holding a tooth wat, on their respective seats, towards the celebration of the great ceremony on the throne of the majesty, the mountain called for ten thousand years.
"All the ministers are exempt from courtesy, flat!"
"King Xie!"
With a wave of Qingji's big hand, the ministers all sat down one after another, with a solemn and solemn look.
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the mouth, the mouth looks at the heart, and the body sits in danger.
Qingji, who was sitting on the throne of His Majesty, looked around for a week, then picked up a piece of music and said slowly: "Second and third sons, today's court meeting is not for anything else, but for discussing politics!" ”
"He Zheng? Current politics also! ”
"What the widow holds in his hand is the last piece of music for Yan Zi before his death, which can be described as a 'testament'."
"The widow is the plan of my Wu country's country, and in response to the current affairs, several policies have been proposed, and the widow thinks so. Therefore, today's court meeting will discuss it with the second and third sons! ”
After a pause, Qingji put down the music in his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "Yan Zi plays the widow, imitates the ancient world, imitates the countries of the Central Plains, and stands on the drums outside the palace. ”
"Anyone who has grievances can report them layer by layer and file complaints at all levels."
"If the township is not decided, it can be reported to the county. If the county does not decide, it can be reported to the county. If the county is not decided, it can be reported to the widow or the court governor's mansion. ”
"The second and third sons think, is it feasible?"
"This ......"
Hearing this, the ministers of Wu couldn't help but turn their heads and whisper.
Dengwen drum can be described as one of the important ways to express directly in ancient times.
As early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a Dengwen drum, which was called "road drum" at that time.
The following dynasties also have Dengwen drums.
The Tang Dynasty Dengwen drum was set up in the reign of Gaozong, and Wu Zetian also created the Kuang Embassy.
The Yuan Dynasty also set up drums and invited cars to drive.
The importance of the Dengwen drum in different periods of history is very different, and there may be additions in successive dynasties, such as inviting a car driver or a bus to write a book, knocking on the ......
