Chapter 17 Uncle Sun Tong's clothes
Thinking of this, Zhang Liang got up after eating the case, quickly took a few steps forward, and attached it to Liu Ji's ear,
"Your Majesty, regarding the arrangement of the enthronement ceremony, the uncle of the doctor and grandson Tong has a set of rituals to play."
Liu Ji's eyes lit up, "What kind of rituals, is it cumbersome and troublesome?" ā
"The minister has seen it first, and this set of rituals by Shusun Tong is not complicated or redundant, respectful and orderly, just right."
Zhang Liang was well versed in Liu Ji's temperament, and knew that he was most annoyed by Confucian red tape and seemingly pedantic obsessions, so he hurriedly explained it for him, and especially accentuated the tone of the words "respect, humility and order".
"Oh? Then let him come up, while everyone is here, to tell this group of rough people what it means to be respectful and orderly, and what it means to be subordinate and respectful. Liu Ji perked up, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes swept towards the noisy hall were bottomless.
At this time, the hall is noisy like a downtown street, I don't know who took out a five-string building, it is actually carved from the whole wood, the whole body is covered with black light, and it is from the hand of a famous artist at a glance.
When Liu Ji was in the countryside, he liked to sing the song the most, and at this moment he was happy to see things, so he immediately asked people to take it over, skillfully holding the thin handle at one end of the building, plucking his fingers, and the sonorous strings sounded like a storm crashing on the shore, straight up to the sky.
The drunken crowd danced and sang loudly, and the scene became more and more enthusiastic and messy.
Lu Pheasant felt a little drunk, said goodbye, and silently retreated outside the court to breathe, but saw that the flying beams and stones were pedaling, and the courtyards were adjacent, thinking that it was the first house of a wealthy family.
She stood in the outer courtyard, letting the clammy night breeze blow on her cheeks, and her mind suddenly cleared up.
Seeing that the queen was withdrawn from the table halfway, thinking that she was drunk, the clever maids hurriedly brought a set of yĆ and basins and waited for the queen to wash her hands.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, the nobles had a set of extremely exquisite ways to wash their hands, called Wo Xu.
I saw a maid holding a painted lacquer basket, standing and pouring slowly, the water contained in the chamber trickled out from the slender water outlet on one side, and the other maid squatted down, holding the large basin with both hands, and undertook the flowing water poured above, forming a small artificial waterfall.
Lu Pheasant hurriedly washed his hands with the clear water, took the handkerchief from the maid's hand, and slowly wiped his hands while thinking about it.
Obviously everything is decided, the future is bright, but there is always a turbulent flow in her heart, I don't know where it started, she is already reincarnated, she trusts her instincts very much, so she becomes more and more anxious.
While she was ignoring it, she caught a glimpse of the soldier leading a middle-aged man in a high-crowned and wide uniform, with a polite manner, hurriedly walking towards the inner courtyard where the banquet was located.
Seeing Lu Pheasant, the soldiers stopped and respectfully called the queen, and the man was busy and went to the ground, calling himself Uncle Sun Tong.
Lu Pheasant was surprised and delighted, "Mr. is Uncle Sun Tong?" I've admired the name for a long time. ā
This sentence is really sincere, and it is by no means a perfunctory politeness and grievance, because Shusun Tong's name has been passed down to nine hundred years later, and she has indeed admired it for a long time.
***
Shusun Tong is a master of Confucianism, he was originally a doctor of the Qin Dynasty, because he noticed the misconduct of Qin II in time, led his children to flee from Qin, changed hands many times in the troubled times, and finally came from Liu Ji three years ago.
Lu Pheasant knew that Shusun Tong later soared and gained Liu Ji's incomparable trust, and a series of ritual systems such as the beginning of the dynasty and the temple ritual in the early Han Dynasty were all from the hands of Shusun Tong, and were praised as "Han Confucianism" by Taishi Gong in the "Historical Records".
Later, this set of rituals has been continuously added and changed by Confucian scholars for hundreds of years, and has become a fixed formula, which has a long history, and was happily inherited by the Li Tang royal family.
Unexpectedly, on such an occasion, I was able to meet the legendary Confucianism who opened the world and inherited the heirs.
It's just that, looking at the current Confucian costume of the great Confucian in front of him, the history-changing dialogue between him and Liu Ji should not have happened yet.
After saluting, the soldier took his uncle and grandson to pull out his legs, but Lu Pheasant suddenly spoke,
"Sir, are you going to meet Your Majesty?"
"Yes, the minister has a set of enthronement gifts, and I want to say it to His Majesty."
"Is the gentleman going to wear this dress to see Your Majesty?" Lu Pheasant looked at his uncle and grandson Tong from head to toe and said with a smile.
Shusun Tong looked down at the neat and clean robe on his body, and then raised his hand to support the high crown hat, and the white skin showed a puzzled look, I don't know why,
"The minister doesn't know what's wrong, and I hope the queen will make it clear."
"Your Majesty won the world immediately, and he hated Confucianism the most in his life, and he thought that they had a lotus tongue but were useless.
If you want to be favored by him, you must first do what he likes. ā
Uncle Sun Tong was stunned for a moment, then comprehended, gave Lu Pheasant a deep look, whispered a few words to the soldiers beside him, and left in a hurry.
Lu Pheasant didn't want to miss the next good show, so he turned around and walked indoors.
***
After less than a cup of tea, the transformed uncle and grandson trotted into the room quickly, passed through the messy crowd, and came to Liu Ji.
He had already replaced all the Confucian clothes, and he was only wearing the most fashionable linen-colored short clothes in Liu Ji's hometown, which was knee-length, with narrow sleeves and legs, and a small hat on his head, which looked no different from the peddlers and pawns on the side of the road in Pei County.
Seeing his outfit, Liu Ji unconsciously bowed slightly, and a smile of approval appeared on his face.
Since he was accepted by the emperor as a member of his own people, the next ritual demonstration naturally progressed relatively smoothly.
The enthronement ceremony implemented by Shusun Tong is based on the ritual system of the Qin Dynasty, removing its redundancy, taking its essence, and mixing it.
He walked back and forth in the room, showing with his hands and feet, Liu Ji put down the wine, stared intently, and kept shaking his head or commenting,
"It's too cumbersome here, I can't do it, delete it, delete it.
It's too long and tiring, so you can go back and improve it.
You need everyone to follow and cooperate here, and you have to make sure that they are all familiar with each other, so that they don't make any mess, but make the world laugh. ā
Shusun Tong had a good-natured smile on his face, nodded frequently, and said yes, accepting all the deletions and changes proposed by Liu Ji, and responding to all requests.
Lu Pheasant couldn't help but laugh at the banquet, and secretly admired -
Liu Ji likes simple and easy-to-learn etiquette, this uncle and grandson can do what he likes, and he does not have the solitary nature of a well-educated person, no wonder later generations praised him for being shrewd and supple, advancing with the times, and indeed worthy of his reputation.
After settling on the whole set of rituals, Shusun Tong's originally fair face was already flushed with sweat, he bowed deeply, and suddenly said,
"The Book of Rites contains that in the harem of the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty in the past, 'there were queens, wives, wives, concubines, wives, and concubines'.
Now His Majesty has become the emperor, and the emperor's match is also the future. The latter, Jun Ye, listens to the internal governance of the world, and the world is harmonious and managed.
Now that the crown prince has been established, the ministers ask His Majesty to make the queen. ā
As soon as these words came out, the audience was solemn, and everyone's wine woke up, and their eyes were all focused on Lu Pheasant.
In fact, what Shusun Tong said has long been a consensus among the veteran heroes:
Since there is an emperor, there should be a queen, this is an ancient rite, and it is also logical.
What's more, in the eyes of the patriarchs, the tyrannical Qin who died in the second dynasty was precisely because he did not establish a queen, which made the identity of the successor of the eldest son Fusu unjustifiable, and finally caused a catastrophe on the issue of the inheritance of the throne.
