Lu Zhang explained: "This is very simple! If we talk about etiquette, it is to hold a canonization ceremony, which is attached to the rule of the Son of Heaven and is a vassal state of the Yellow Emperor. In the ceremony, the ceremony was carried out, the Chinese national calendar was promulgated in the country, and the Yellow Emperor's lineage was used. After the canonization is completed, you are the official canonization of the Son of Heaven, the lord of the country of Ba, recognized by all tribes in the world. ”

Shao Wu didn't speak, just glanced into the hall. Lord Cangzheng Xiaoyang opened his mouth and said: "May I ask Lord Angel, five hundred years ago, when the first monarch Yan Zhaoli Ba Kingdom, he was not canonized by the Son of Heaven, and Ba Country is also a Ba country. Now that the lord Shaowu has not been canonized by the Son of Heaven, and has also become the king of Ba Yuan, why must he be named a vassal country?"

Lord Bingzheng Beidao asked more directly: "Is it any good for the country of Ba to be canonized by the Son of Heaven? Ba Jun is the lord of Ba Yuan, and he is a good person, why do you want to be a vassal to the Son of Heaven? What do you need to do after receiving the title?"

Lu Zhang scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "The Son of Heaven in all dynasties, the ruler of the emperor seal is the co-lord of the world, and it has been a tradition since ancient times to canonize the kings of all countries and the heads of all departments. ”

Lu Zhang's temperament is simple, and the status of the Lizheng Palace is transcendent, and his duty is to observe the time of the sky, determine the calendar, and teach the way of harmony between heaven and man, and do not have to involve many mundane and miscellaneous matters that are full of people's hearts and minds in the DPRK and the country. In addition to making ritual vessels, Lu Zhang concentrates on cultivation on weekdays, and perceives the changes in the breath of heaven and earth, and he doesn't like to think about anything else, and he doesn't need to worry about other things.

It is true that no one has asked Lu Zhang such a question, and Lu Zhang is a real person, so it is not easy to talk casually on such an occasion. If you change to Ba Jun's young affairs, you can give a very beautiful answer. But Lu Zhang can't, he will only answer so simply, although he is a ceremonial official of the school palace, he is responsible for the production of weapons rather than etiquette, and he is not a competent canonized angel.

Hou Gang secretly introduced it with divine thoughts. The canonization of the Son of Heaven as the king of the subject country is indeed a tradition in the land of China. From the time of the Qingdi era, the conquest of all departments of the world was unified. And the Emperor of Man is the leader of the alliance respected by all the tribes. The so-called state of China is a large alliance that includes all tribal forces, as well as many surrounding subject states.

The situation in the land of China is different from that of Ba Yuan, and the environment of Ba Yuan is too special. Ba Yuan was surrounded on all sides by barbarism and was almost isolated from the outside world, so that a highly unified centralized state could be established. Otherwise, with the transportation and communication conditions at that time, it would have been difficult to achieve the centralized rule of the central power.

If the monarch orders it together, it will take half a year to send it to the local city, and it will take another half a year to report back to the monarch, which is actually unlikely to establish a system of decrees under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. Nor can taxes from all parts of the country be transported directly to the central government. The territory of Pakistan was also large enough, and if there was no such a relatively closed environment, it would have been difficult for a unified Pakistani country to emerge at that time.

Almost all the emperors of the past dynasties have been to Ba Yuan, and they have left their inheritance here, probably because they feel that this is a treasure place for cultivation outside the world, and all things in the world can be seen from Ba Yuan, and the development trajectory of Ba Yuan also shows the past and future appearance of China.

The land of China is vast, and many remote areas are still in an uncivilized and wild state, and it is impossible for the emperor to establish direct ruling power everywhere. In many places, it is indirect governance or symbolic surrender. The Son of Heaven is not only the co-ruler of the kingdom of China, but also the leader of a great tribal alliance.

At the earliest, Emperor Taihao pacified various ministries and passed on various skills of the people, including various living habits. From this, customs become customs, and then customs become rituals. The Son of Heaven not only represents the leader of the largest central tribal power, but also mediates disputes among the tribal clans. For example, the demarcation of tribal territories, the establishment of rules and etiquette to be observed in dealings between tribes, etc. It is also the duty of the Son of Heaven.

External disputes aside, the most common internal disputes among the countries and ministries to which they belong are actually the battles for the status of the monarch, the patriarch and the heirs of various assets. This happens. It was mediated and canonized by the Son of Heaven, so that the leaders of the various tribes would have the legitimate status and be recognized by everyone, and in the event of a rebellion, the Son of Heaven would also summon the various tribes to conquer and pacify.

The implementation of this set of systems has been nearly a thousand years since the Qing Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Yellow Emperor, and has long formed a tradition. In the vast majority of cases, the Son of Heaven did not intervene in internal disputes, but only symbolically canonized in recognition of his legitimacy after the official appearance of a new chief, and it has not been heard of who would refuse, let alone ask why.

After listening to Hou Gang's explanation, Shao Wu already knew it, and asked with a smile: "Lord Angel, you just need to tell me what is the situation of the vassal states that have always been canonized in the land of China, what can they get, and what do they have to bear?"

Lu Zhang blinked his eyes and said: "The situation of each country is different, it is appropriate for the time and place, if you talk about the commonalities, just as the Northern Dao Lord asked, of course it is very beneficial." Belonging to the Yellow Emperor's ministries, if invaded by outsiders, the Son of Heaven will call on all countries and ministries to help each other conquer foreign enemies. If there are demons and evil spirits, or if they are affected by natural disasters, they can also ask the Son of Heaven for help, and the Son of Heaven will send someone to kill the demons and eliminate the evil, and cure the disaster and quell the chaos. ”

Ba Guofu said: "It's very good, but can it really be done?"

Lu Zhang: "This is what the Son of Heaven promised to the world, if you can't do it, how can you become the co-ruler of the world?" ”

Ba Guo Li is righteous: "You can't enjoy these benefits in vain, and what do you need us to do? Since Ba Jun is a vassal to the Son of Heaven, does he have to obey the orders of the Son of Heaven in everything?"

Lu Zhang was a little embarrassed: "Of course this is the case in terms of etiquette, but the situation of each country and ministry is different, and he is a vassal to the Son of Heaven, and he is still called the king in the country." When Pakistan was invaded by foreign enemies, the Son of Heaven could call on all subject countries to help Pakistan resist the enemy, and even send a large army directly from the imperial capital to help. If a neighboring country is in trouble, Pakistan should also respond to the call of the Son of Heaven and help him.

However, the situation of Israel and Pakistan does not seem to be able to encounter these things, it is impossible to send a large army out of Bayuan, and there are no neighboring subject countries, and it is even more impossible for China to send a large army into Bayuan, only the system of respect and etiquette. All countries worship the Son of Heaven, one tribute per year for nearby countries and one tribute for three years for distant countries, and the Son of Heaven will also reward all countries with artifacts produced in China. ”

Another adult spoke: "The lord is not canonized, and he is also the lord of Ba Yuan, so why should he be a vassal to others?" This lord was born in a clan, but he only knew that there was Ba Yuan in the world, and instinctively rejected this kind of thing, feeling that Lu Zhang was inexplicable, and if he was good, he would be canonized as the minister of the Son of Heaven, and the status of Ba Jun should accept this kind of canonization?

Lu Zhang replied while thinking: "You may have misunderstood, the Son of Heaven does not cut the position of Ba Jun and does not get involved in the politics of Ba Jun, and if there is civil turmoil in Ba Jun, he will also send an angel to mediate." The canonization of the Son of Heaven by the Son of Heaven is to establish the orthodox identity of his ritual law, not to seize the country of the Ba Jun, let alone to fight for the original place of Ba Jun. The ancestor of Ba is not only a descendant of Shaodian, but also a subject of the Son of Heaven. ”

Shaowu said with a smile: "Xianjun Yanzhao, since he is a descendant of Shaodian, he should respect the Chinese Son of Heaven." It's just that Ba Yuan is vast, and it is located in a remote and closed and self-reliant place, and it is not a trivial matter to canonize the king of the subject country. If it can really be achieved, when all the people of Bayuan celebrate, the Son of Heaven should also pay attention to it. Why did you only send Lord Lu Zhang one person and one car, and come straight from thousands of miles?"

At this time, Hou Gang suddenly interjected again: "Lord Lu Zhang, you were not ordered by the Son of Heaven, but sent directly by Danzhu, right?"

Lu Zhang was stunned again, and asked rhetorically, "How do you know?"

Hou Gang said with a smile: "With the vastness of Ba Yuan, the merit of establishing the country of Ba with Yan Zhao, and unifying Ba Yuan with few affairs, if Ba Jun is willing to belong to the clan and be a vassal of the Son of Heaven, this is a major event of the Chinese country, how can it be so brief?"

The Son of Heaven should first send envoys to contact, so that Ba Jun knows all the affairs of China, knows that the Shaodian clan is the co-head of each tribe, recognizes the orthodoxy of the clan, and is willing to add to the list of subject countries. After all relevant matters are discussed, the Son of Heaven can send an envoy to officially canonize the Ba monarch, so that the whole world will know that there is a Ba country and recognize the identity of the Ba monarch.

And Lord Lu Zhang came too hastily, why did one person and one car come directly to canonize Ba Jun? Can you tell me what is going on?"

Lu Zhang replied with some embarrassment: "I accompanied the emperor Danzhu to inspect the Jiuli tribes, and I have arrived in the area of Yunmeng Juze, and I learned that Ba Jun unified Ba Yuan and restored Ba Guo, and it is far more prosperous than in the past. The emperor was overjoyed when he heard the news, and specially ordered me to come to Bayuan by Xuanyuan Yunyuan and canonize Ba Jun with the emperor's order. ”

Shao Wu frowned slightly: "In this way, Lord Lu Zhang did not come to Bayuan on the order of the Son of Heaven, but on the order of the Emperor Danzhu. When you set off, Emperor Yao, the Son of Heaven, didn't know about it, so how could he say that he would be canonized?"

Lu Zhang's expression was even more embarrassed: "Dan Zhu patrolled Jiuli on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he is an angel, and he temporarily gave me Xuanyuan Yunlin, which is to order me to act on his behalf." It is a good thing to canonize Ba Jun, not only the joy of Ba Yuan but also the joy of China, and the Son of Heaven will be happy to hear the news and will be happy to see it.

Before leaving, Danzhu told me that he had sent someone to report the matter to the Son of Heaven urgently, and that the Son of Heaven would then issue an edict. When I return from my envoy to Ba Yuan, it will be a great achievement for the Chinese state. ”

Hou Gang asked very seriously: "The canonization of the king of the subject country should have the edict of the Son of Heaven." If there is no edict today, but Lord Lu Zhang claims to be an angel, is it not in line with etiquette?"

Lu Zhang: "That's what I said to Danzhu. But Danzhu told me that the Son of Heaven must have an edict when he hears the news, and I have already done things in advance, and when I return, the edict of the Son of Heaven will be issued, and he can take me back to the imperial capital to restore my life. Bayuan is far away, so it saves a lot of time, and it can avoid the work of going back and forth. I thought about it, and that made a lot of sense, so here I am. ”

When Shaowu's eyes looked at Lu Zhang again, his expression was quite crying and laughing, and he didn't want to speak anymore. Hou Gang then asked: "If the subject country is officially canonized, it should be carried out in accordance with the rules of Gui, and the Gui used is given by the Son of Heaven himself. Since the Son of Heaven doesn't know about this, where did the gui in your hands come from?"

Lu Zhang lowered his head and said, "This gui, it, it, is actually refined by me." ”

Hou Gang lowered his voice and said: "It is a serious crime to make a private ritual weapon and pretend to be given by the Son of Heaven! You are a courtesy official, how can you be so reckless?" )
