Chapter 45 and the crown

After resting in Mengjin for more than a month, Yang Ming finally left for Luoyang.

His injuries have healed, and of course it is more important that he rush back to Luoyang to pay the crown salute.

Fifteen for women and twenty for men, this is the rule in the "Rites".

Although the princes such as the Son of Heaven will be in charge of the country as soon as possible, or the people will be worried that they will not live to live to twenty.

But those are a minority after all, and for the majority, especially the children of the family, twenty and crown are common rites.

Yang Ming returned to Luoyang, asked Zhang Liao to lead everyone back to Yang's Mansion first, and took Zhang Yi to the Yinxiang Restaurant alone.

Before he returned to Luoyang, he had agreed to meet Jian Shuo here.

Entering the wine shop, Yang Ming found Jian Shuo standing and waiting for him.

After seeing him, Jian Shuo stepped forward and said excitedly: "I know that you are not dead!" ”

Yang Ming smiled and replied, "It's just a fluke." ”

The two of them sat down as they spoke.

After Jian Shuo sat down, he lowered his voice and said, "Did Shaojun fake his death before?" ”

Perhaps worried that Yang Ming had some concerns, he added: "It's just you and me here, Shaojun but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Although LΓΌ Qiang brought back the news of Yang Ming's assassination for the Son of Heaven, he still had doubts, after all, Yang Ming murdered Wang Fu.

Yang Ming shook his head, then unbuttoned his robe, revealing the scars on his chest.

Although the wound has healed, the scar still looks shocking.

Seeing this, Jian Shuo also dispelled his suspicions, saying that Zhao Zhong was killed by Yang Qiu, and Yang Ming was not in Luoyang, if it was too difficult to plan, it seemed that it was indeed a fluke.

"It's also a mistake, Your Majesty originally wanted to give you a small precept because of Zhao Yan's death, and never thought that you would be assassinated, but now Your Majesty is afraid that he will show you mercy instead." Jian Shuo continued.

Yang Ming was not surprised after hearing this.

Liu Hong suddenly made successive edicts that were beneficial to the eunuchs, so naturally he needed to do some measures to appease the scholars, which was the emperor's balancing technique.

So what could be more useful at this time than to give him a favor that had just been assassinated by a eunuch?

"Then Zhao Yan is also damned, Your Majesty has transferred the grain of Xuzhou to disaster relief, and he is still living up to the township, he is really greedy and self-defeating." Jian Shuo said with emotion.

Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, looked up at Jian Shuo and said, "Does the imperial court provide disaster relief to Qingzhou?" ”

"Don't you know? His Majesty transferred 100,000 stone of grain and gave priority to Beihai and Donglai, which were seriously affected by the disaster. Jian Shuo wondered.

Yang Ming shook his head, he hadn't heard anyone mention it.

On that day, the Zhao Mansion distributed grain, and he didn't see anyone say anything about disaster relief.

Obviously, this batch of grain is not in the Zhao Mansion.

If it is not in Zhaofu, it is either that the land of Xuzhou has not been grained, or this batch of grain has reached the hands of the local clans.

Either way, it's all in the pockets of the scholars.

Although they did not plunder the villages, how could they not be the driving force behind the cannibalism of the hungry people?

Thinking of this, Yang Ming suddenly felt a strong sense of physical discomfort.

Jian Shuo was also conscious at this time, and laughed dryly.

"What's Cao Jie's recent movements?" Yang Ming changed the subject.

Among the regular attendants, he is most worried about Cao Jie, Jian Shuo will suspect that he is fake death, and Cao Jie will naturally suspect it.

And now Cao Jie is also the secretary of the order, and his power is monstrous.

Jian Shuo shook his head: "He is busy fighting for power with the monks at this time. ”

Yang Ming understood when he heard this.

Although Liu Hong let Cao Jie receive the Shangshu Order, how could the Shangshu succumb as scholars.

Don't dare to go against you openly, it's not easy for scholars to put you in the air?

So naturally, Cao Jie must also try to replace Shangshu with his own, which will inevitably be another round of fierce confrontation between the eunuchs.

At this time, Cao Jie really shouldn't have time to take care of him.

This is good news, after accepting Wang Xiu's suggestion, he is about to recuperate for a while.

After coming out of the wine shop, Yang Ming then took the car home.

When Yang Qi saw him, he burst into tears.

Yang Qi didn't know about the fake death at first, he only knew that Yang Ming was seriously injured by the stab, escaped death, and was ready to strike a counterattack on Zhao Zhong.

Now that he really saw Yang Ming return safely, his emotions were a little out of control.

After the father and son were over, Yang Qi then talked about the crown ceremony.

Rites were very standardized in the Han Dynasty, and those who received the crown had to first divinate the auspicious day, and if there was no auspicious day within ten days, they would choose the auspicious day of the next decade.

The so-called "ten" means ten days.

Wait for the auspicious day to be chosen, and then inform your relatives and friends.

Three days before the crown ceremony, it is necessary to select the guest who presides over the crown ceremony by the Zheng method, and select a person who "praises the crown" to assist in the crown ceremony.

This is a major event in Yang Ming's life, so it is natural to arrange it in advance.

After chatting with Yang Qi, as soon as he returned to the room, Yang Liang came to look for him.

"Brother, do you have a word after you perform the crown salute?" Yang Liang was very curious.

Yang Ming nodded.

The word is the most important symbol of the crown.

And after the word, unless it is a very close person, it can no longer be called by a nickname.

"I don't know who will pick up the words for my brother, and what will I take?" Yang Liang was looking forward to it at this time.

In fact, after Yang Liang finished speaking, Yang Ming also had some expectations.

This table is a university question, not what you want to be called, you can express anything.

There are two words in the table, if according to the requirements of the "Book of Rites", the first word is according to the generation, and the order of the descendants is uncle, middle, uncle, and season.

For example, Wang Xiu, the word Shuzhi, he is the third son-in-law of his lineage.

Then the second word, most of which have a similar or related meaning to the word "name".

still take Wang Xiu as an example, cultivation and governance, this should be taken from the "Book of Rites" in the "Self-cultivation and Governance of the Country, Qi Family and Peaceful World".

Take Cao Cao as an example, the word Mengde, Cao Cao is the eldest son, the first word uses Meng instead of Bo, and Cao and morality, conduct and morality.

Of course, when the time came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, not everyone came according to this method.

For example, Yuan Shao, the word Benchu, Shao originally meant inheritance, and Benchu had the meaning of the initial foundation, implying that Ke inherited the ancestral industry.

So it doesn't matter whether you are from a big family or not, it depends on who the person who takes the table words is.

"Bo Liang?" Yang Ming said tentatively.

"Gou Zi Heavenly Theory" cloud: "Those who are in heaven do not know the sun and the moon", the original meaning of Ming is the meaning of brightness.

Zhuge Liang is the word Kongming.

"Doesn't that brother and I both have bright words?" Yang Liang said.

Yang Ming was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't pay attention to this all of a sudden.

So, people who pick up words should be evasive?

If you don't take the word "bright", will you take "light" from yourself?

Boguang?

…… Tian Boguang?

"In a few days, we will reach the crown, and we will know by then." Yang Ming instantly lost the idea of guessing any further.

In a blink of an eye, it was already six days later, and it was confirmed that it was his uncle Yang Ci who presided over the crown ceremony for Yang Ming.

Three days later, the Yang Clan Temple, relatives and friends gathered, and guests were overflowing.

Yang Ming entered the temple in a cloth cloth, or cloth clothes, and knelt on the futon.

Father Yang Qi and Dabin Yang Ci were both dressed and stood in front of Yang Ming.

A total of three crowns should be added to the crown ceremony, and three crowns should be added to the clothes.

The first crown is the cloth crown, and in addition, it represents the right to govern people;

The second crown is Piben, and in addition, it represents the right to serve in the military;

The third crown is the knight, and in addition, it means that you have the right to participate in the sacrifice.

In the sound of ceremonial music, Yang Ming's three crowns were added, and the clothes were already large-sleeved and long-skirted dresses, and he also wore his gold seal and purple ribbon.

At this time, the guests all looked at Yang Ci.

Then, it's time to pick up words for Yang Ming.

Yang Qi stepped aside at this time, and judging from the eyes of him and Yang Ci, the two had obviously communicated before.

"The forty-two articles of the Book of Rites: The way of the university is in Ming Mingde, in being close to the people, and in stopping at perfection, and the word 'virtue' is given for you." Yang Ci said.

The original meaning of Ming is bright, but there are many meanings in "Shuowen Jie Zi", which means wisdom and virtue.

Hearing the German word, Yang Ming was still a little surprised, but fortunately it was not a light word, otherwise he was really afraid that he would not be able to accept it for a while.

"And because he is the eldest son, the word Bird." Yang Ci continued.

Bird, when he heard the combination of these two words, Yang Ming suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

It's just that he didn't think of it for a while, but the words have been taken, and he saluted Yang Ci and thanked him.

Yang Ming, the word Bird.

This is the name that will accompany him for the rest of his life.
