Lu Zhang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't do it on purpose." I work as the secretary of the Lizheng Palace, and I am responsible for making ritual vessels on weekdays, and I understand the shape and size of various rites. The guis used in the country to canonize the vassal state are all made by my own hands.

Emperor Danzhu said that in a hurry, he prepared the gift of the Son of Heaven to Ba Jun in advance, and at the same time asked the Son of Heaven to issue an edict. And I am the attendant of Danzhu's side, and I know all the things about canonization, so he sent me. ”

Huwa couldn't help but smile and said: "Then the emperor Danzhu praised Lord Lu Zhang, and said that although there are many followers around him, there is no one more talented than Lord Lu Zhang, and canonizing Ba Jun is such an important matter, and it is also a great contribution to the Son of Heaven, and it is none other than Lord Lu Zhang." ”

Lu Zhang nodded and said, "I did say that what Lord Peng Keng's words were almost word for word!"

Taiyi also smiled and asked: "Lord Lu Zhang happily accepted the order, he has never officially served as a Chinese angel to go to a remote subject country before, and he has never controlled the Xuanyuan Cloud Wheel that the emperor rides, which is both fresh and proud?"

Lu Zhang replied embarrassedly: "I am indeed deeply honored, and it is also very enjoyable, Xuanyuan Yunyuan, how many people in the world have sat down?"

Hou Gang coughed and said, "Lord Lu Zhang, quickly put away the gui in your hand." Fortunately to meet me today, if Ba Jun let you hold a canonization ceremony without the edict of the Son of Heaven with a private system of Ligui and without the edict of the Son of Heaven, although the edict of the Son of Heaven will come later, it is not absolutely impossible, but Ba Jun will be laughed at.

The significance of such an important canonization ceremony is no less than that of the national memorial ceremony, so how can we act hastily? This is not a matter of urgency at all, so how can we say that we should be in a hurry to obey power? If this is really done, those who do not know the inside story will inevitably discuss the Son of Heaven for despising Ba Jun. Even if your intentions are good, you want to make meritorious contributions to the Son of Heaven, but how can you be so wronged by Ba Jun?"

Lu Zhang bowed and said: "I have no intention of wronging Bajun, and the emperor Danzhu also wants to promote it as soon as possible." When he sent me as an envoy to Ba Yuan, he sent someone to inform the Son of Heaven of the detailed circumstances. If the canonization of Bajun is completed, the rest is only a small section. Thank you Lord Hougang for reminding me that in Ba Jun's opinion, I am indeed greedy and ill-considered. ”

Shao Wu smiled and waved his hand and said: "Those who are greedy for merit are not Lord Lu Zhang, you are just acting on orders, and someone is eager to make meritorious service to the Son of Heaven, this is not a bad thing, at least he will not be punished by the Son of Heaven for this." As for Benjun, it doesn't matter if he is wronged or not, if he is not reminded by Lord Hougang. I won't even understand that.

Lord Lu Zhang doesn't have to be nervous, the crime of transgression will not come true, and Hou Gang is just scaring you. As a ceremonial official of the Son of Heaven, you share your worries about state affairs, and you have prepared Yugui in advance, which is not wrong, but should be praised. ”

Lu Zhang leaned forward again and asked, "Ba Jun." So what do you want to do?"

The tiger baby and the young man glanced at each other, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. There was a Chinese angel in Leng Buding who came by Xuanyuan Yunyuan and wanted to canonize Ba Jun, and they all felt very stunned. As a monarch. Shaowu must not be rash, first of all, we must consider the gains and losses, and the most important thing is the legitimacy of the rule of etiquette.

At the meeting of Baichuan City that year, Shaowu won the position of patriarch of the clan. In fact, it is a symbol of the orthodoxy of the law. Although the other four countries did not surrender on the surface, the help received by the young man was enormous. With this orthodox identity, many things may not be visible. But if Shaowu didn't have it, the pacification of Ba Yuan would never have been so smooth.

Military means can only solve problems on the battlefield, but they cannot solve everything.

In the later national war, although the clan of the four countries tried their best to fight back, but after Shaowu defeated them, he subdued the cities, reappointed officials, pushed the administrative decree, and included Ba Yuan in the process of a unified governance system, there was little resistance, and the other tribes and people everywhere did not resist much, and in everyone's subconscious, Shao Wu was justified for Ba Jun.

The Ba clan claims to be the descendants of the Shaodian clan, and worships Taihao as the god of national sacrifice, and is a branch of the Shaodian clan that moved into Ba Yuan, and established a country in this place. Then the heir of the Shaodian clan recognized by the world is the current son Di Yao, and the Chinese son of heaven is also the nominal common patriarch of each branch of the Shaodian clan.

Then, according to the tradition since ancient times, Shaowu officially accepted the canonization of the Son of Heaven and became the lord of Pakistan recognized by the world, which of course does not hurt, and it is a good thing, and it means that his orthodox identity of etiquette and law is unshakable. Shaowu is still his Bajun, and there is no loss, as long as Di Yao does not threaten his position as Bajun and does not interfere in the politics of Ba for no reason, there is nothing wrong with accepting the canonization.

But on the other hand, the young minister must find out the purpose of the canonization and the specific content of the covenant with the Chinese state. From a practical point of view, it means what responsibilities the subject country should bear, what benefits can be obtained, or what kind of punishment will be punished and how much loss will it lead to if it fails to fulfill its responsibilities in the future.

As far as the young man is concerned, the question to be considered is, of course, under what circumstances and on what grounds he should refuse canonization, and if so, what conditions and in what form should be met. But he didn't expect that Hou Gang would ask such a tortuous inside story in just a few words, so the above questions are not to be considered right now.

And Lu Zhang didn't expect that he would meet Hou Gang here, and he could ask so many flaws in just a few words. The canonization of Ba Yuan is not a matter of urgency for the Son of Heaven or Shaowu, but for his disciple Danzhu, it is an urgent matter that must be dealt with first. Lu Zhang is not only a ceremonial official who goes out with Danzhu, but of course he is helping Danzhu do things.

Lu Zhang was telling the truth before. Danzhu inspected the eastern area of Yunmeng Juze, and suddenly received the news of the restoration of the country of Ba, and was overjoyed, so he sent Lu Zhang to act as an angel and gave him the cloud chariot to canonize Ba Jun, and also temporarily rushed to make the rites used in the canonization.

Dan Zhu introduced the general situation of Ba Yuan to Lu Zhang, five hundred years ago, there were Shaodian descendants Yan Zhao and Wufu to establish the country, recently just quelled the division and civil strife that lasted for more than 100 years, Ba Jun Shaowu unified Ba Yuan again, and the country was under great rule. Danzhu also had a subordinate who introduced to Lu Zhang the general topography of the trip from Danzhu's station to Badu, so Lu Zhang could fly directly to Badu in the clouds.

In Lu Zhang's opinion, he was on the way to inspect Jiuli with Danzhu when he suddenly heard about Ba Yuan, and then Danzhu sent him to carry out this task. But how can there be such a coincidence in the world, in the eyes of Shaowu, Huwa and others, this emperor must have been premeditated.

Hou Gang was indeed scaring Lu Zhang just now, it is true that the private production of ritual weapons is a crime of exceeding the system, but if the canonization of Ba Jun is successful, it is nothing. Ligui is made by Lu Zhang, and if the Son of Heaven officially issues an edict, he still has to let Lu Zhang make Ligui to Ba Jun, and Lu Zhang will replace it, and this matter will be perfectly covered up, and no one will pursue it.

Danzhu didn't even have to hide it, and at the same time he sent Lu Zhang to send an envoy to report to the Son of Heaven truthfully, saying that he heard the news of Ba Yuan on the way to the inspection, so he sent the ceremonial officer Cheng Yunran to successfully get the canonization of Ba as a vassal country, which was also a great merit. The edict of the Son of Heaven will inevitably be issued as desired, it is nothing more than a time difference, and Danzhu's calculation has no problem.

A remote subject country that has never formally come into contact with the Chinese angels, who would know that there are so many twists and turns, and when they see the angels coming by Xuanyuan Yun, they will not raise any questions. If everything goes well in Lu Zhang's trip, then he will succeed in canonizing the country of Ba and return, even if it is not so smooth, I am afraid that he will also complete the discussion of appeasement and canonization, and bring back the news that Ba Jun wants to return.

Even if Shao Wu knew some of the situation in China, it was impossible to know so many details, and all he considered was the question of whether to accept the canonization, or how to accept the canonization. In any case, Lu Zhang will become the first envoy to contact the country of Pakistan on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and this credit also belongs to the emperor Danzhu.

Why did Danzhu do this? In fact, he didn't have to be so anxious, first to the Son of Heaven, and then the Son of Heaven ordered to send an envoy to the country of Ba, and after seeing that Ba Jun had negotiated everything, he would then send a ceremonial official to hold a formal canonization ceremony, which was the normal procedure. Of course, Danzhu is for grabbing merit, and it's not just about grabbing merit!

If it was the emperor Danzhu who single-handedly completed the canonization of Ba Guo, then the exchanges between Ba Yuan and China, and the implementation of the covenant after the official canonization, should naturally be the responsibility of Danzhu, and it would be difficult for others to interfere again. Then in the eyes of others, Pakistan has become a factional force subordinate to Danju, and Danju has mastered this important political resource.

Is there also a faction in the country of China? There are still factions in the court of Pakistan, and even if it is a city or a village, there will be large and small factional forces. In addition to the territory directly controlled by the Son of Heaven, the country of China is surrounded by large and small subject states and tribal fiefdoms, forming various factional forces in the country, and the distant country of Ba is very important.

Bahara is huge. Mr. Cangjie once said that if there are nine lands in China, the Ba principle is one of them. What is even more rare is that due to the special geographical environment, Bayuan has established a unified central power state.

The territory and population that Emperor Yao can directly control now is actually not much more than Shaowu, and Dingtian is just over twice as much, and the rest of the tribal fiefs and subject states are mostly indirect or symbolic rule, only nominally submitting to the Son of Heaven.

Being able to incorporate a force like Ba Yuan into his own faction can of course greatly enhance his strength, even if it is only nominal control, and it can also have a great deterrent effect on political opponents. In that case, why hasn't anyone had such an idea for a long time?

Ba Yuan has been in civil strife for more than 100 years, and even if the angels want to be canonized, they can't find a target. In the light of the situation back then, the kings of the five kingdoms must have hoped to be canonized by the Son of Heaven and to obtain the orthodox status of ritual law, but who should be canonized? If they took the liberty of canonizing a Ba Jun, would they want to mediate the dispute between Pakistan or send troops to assist Ba Jun in quelling the rebellion?

This is obviously impossible to do, so only after the Pakistani clan itself decides the real leader and controls the situation to unify Ba Yuan, can the canonization be carried out in name only.

In the early years, the land of China was still in the midst of war, and after the Yellow Emperor replaced Emperor Yan, the conquest and pacification of the land of China was also completed from generation to generation, and it was impossible to beat the idea to Ba Yuan. In fact, even if Ba Yuan's idea is beaten, it is not so easy, let alone so taken for granted.

Ba Yuan is remote, almost isolated from the outside world, ordinary people can not communicate with this place at all, let alone send a large army to station, just when the world's top masters can enter and leave Ba Yuan, what is the use? Shao Hao came to Ba Yuan back then, thinking that this is a treasure land outside the world, and he does not even want to see the masters of China disturb the tranquility of Ba Yuan.

Everyone's perception is different, Dan Zhu does not know about Shao Hao, in his opinion, Shao Wu pacified Ba Yuan, established a unified and powerful regime, Ba Yuan is the world of great governance, unprecedented strength, this is an excellent opportunity. (To be continued.) )
