Chapter 186: The Monarch
Facing the arrogant eunuch Chen Zhenghua, Xia Xu sneered.
"Nine thousand years old?, you don't even have a life, and you dare to call yourself nine thousand years old?!"
"Bold!" The little eunuch beside the big eunuch Chen Zhenghua was furious!
This is an insult to Chiguoguo!
This is to look down on their eunuchs!
The little eunuch is not an ordinary person, he is actually a master of the Venerable Realm!
There are many talents in the inner world, and even the Venerable is willing to be a eunuch!
The little eunuch has made a move!
The little eunuch shot ruthlessly and rushed straight to Xia Xu's door!
Boxing Skills β’ Cold Snake!
Xia Xu made a simple move!
This punch was fixed on the throat of the little eunuch, and the little eunuch's face turned purple, and he fell to the ground and died directly on the spot!
"Ahh
The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua was stunned!
He didn't expect Xia Xu to kill someone in Qintianjian at all!
"Tiger Knights, Han Xiaotian! Dare to ask Gonggong Chen, is it pre-arranged for this subordinate of yours to attack the Marquis? Why do you want to assassinate the pillars of the country and the heroes of the demon clan!"
"If you don't give me a satisfactory answer, the 20,000 Tiger Knights can now be ordered to enter the imperial city and clear the traitorous ministers for the monarch!"
Han Xiaotian said that there are words for vibrating!
"Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!" the big eunuch Chen Zhenghua smiled awkwardly, "I can't get used to this little bastard for a long time, it's good to die!"
The great eunuch Chen Zhenghua said again: "Lord Marquis, the monarch is invited, please go to the early court! I will show you the way, and by the way, I will introduce you to the situation of the imperial court! Please follow me!"
The big eunuch is respectful, he can mix up until now, and he is also extremely shrewd, knowing that Xia Xu is powerful, he doesn't dare to provoke again!
Xia Xu didn't care, he followed him directly to the monarch's hall!
It's going on the morning pilgrimage there!
While walking, the big eunuch introduced Xia Xu to the situation of the monarch!
In the Imperial City, it is necessary not only to understand the monarch and treat each other with courtesy, but also to understand royal etiquette!
The Longchen River and the Yangtze River, which nourish the vast land, have given birth to a brilliant human civilization.
For thousands of years, the people of all nationalities in the Longchen Continent have reproduced, lived, labored, and created in this glorious and ancient continent.
In the development of production and daily life gradually formed a variety of customs and habits, embodies the pursuit and yearning of generations of people for beautiful things, inspires people's love for life, represents the level of national civilization and education, and royal etiquette is indispensable!
The fifteen-year-old lanterns, the dumplings of Duanyang, the neon clothes and feathers of light singing and dancing, the lower riba people who play the kite and fight, the pavilions and pavilions with carved beams and paintings, the winding landscapes and gardens, the literati calligraphy and paintings, the flowery folk art, and the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young, the style of humility and resignation, the habit of sacrificing one's life for righteousness, and the tradition of serving the country loyally...... They are like flowers on the cake, making the picture scroll of history so colorful and vibrant!
It is also like a colorful ribbon, decorating the life of our nation with splendid and extraordinarily beautiful.
It makes the human race proud and inspires people to work hard and keep moving forward.
In the royal family, please kneel down.
The ritual of "kneeling" was practiced in the imperial palace and the mansions of the five princes, as well as in the clan families.
In addition to the daily summoning of the Minister of Military Aircraft, the emperor often has to summon some other officials, which is in the nature of secret talks, which is different from the court ceremony, so the officials do not have to kowtow to the emperor.
The procedure for summoning is that the meeting is first registered by the External Concert Office, and then arranged by the External Concert Office on a certain day.
When the emperor had breakfast, a green head sign was placed on the table, and after the meal, he was summoned separately. There were those who were put together, and the eunuchs withdrew.
The eunuch of the internal performance office called the officials to come to the door of the warm pavilion, lifted the curtain to let the officials in, and the eunuchs retreated outside the palace.
The officer entered the door, stood and said:
"I respectfully ask the emperor to be sainte. β
Then he knelt down, stood up, walked a few steps to the emperor, and knelt on a felt mat with a thick red edge and a white heart.
When the play was finished, the Emperor said:
"Go down. β
So the officials got up and knelt down, took a few steps back in front of the emperor, and turned to go out.
If there is any thanksgiving in the right play, then knock it on the spot and say:
"Thank you for the Emperor's grace. β
If you say something wrong during the correct play, take off your hat and hit your head on the ground to admit your mistake. When the emperor sets the province in the morning and dusk every day and sees the queen mother, he must kneel down when he enters the door, and he also kneels when he retreats.
When the eunuch has something to do with the emperor, the queen mother, the empress, the concubine and other lords, the younger generations in the prince's palace and the clan family must kneel down when they see their elders, and the slaves see their masters.
The same part of the kneeling posture as the posture of asking for peace is to first straighten the posture and step forward with the left leg. But when kneeling, the right leg must be fully kneeling, and then the left leg should also kneel, and then the right leg should rise up, and the left leg should also rise, and return to an upright posture. This series of movements should be well-paced, not rushed, and not procrastinated. Everything else is the same as the requirements of the please.
Wear court clothes, auspicious clothes, perform a big salute, there is a solemn, one kneeling, three knocks and six su, three kneeling, nine knocking rituals.
A solemn is a solemn standing.
One kneeling is one kneeling and one standing up.
Three kneels are, of course, three times each.
The difference between three knocks and nine knocks is also a difference in the number of times.
When wearing court clothes and crowns, the prostrations are the same as those of men. Those who wore auspicious clothes did not wear auspicious crowns in the late Qing Dynasty, but wore tianzi, and did not kowtow after kneeling, but only supported the two head wings with their right hands. What needs to be explained here is "Su".
This action is similar to that of a woman, first straighten the posture, slowly fall all the way to the bottom, and then slowly get up and return to the upright posture.
It is also required not to bend over, not to bow down, to have stable shoulders, and to have a straight waist.
And what about the monarch?
The monarch caresses the style, and the doctor goes down.
"If the husband and concubine help the government of the monarch, the way of the philosopher's family...... Its emblem is not exceptional, and the world is salty and leaky. β
"The monarch who has been on the throne for more than a year and then changed the yuan, the heart of the courtier, can't bear to have two kings for a year. β
"The other son of the Son of Heaven is crowned as the king, and his ancestors are the kings.
The three emperors and five emperors of ancient times, such as Xihuang Fuxi, Wahuang Nuwa, Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan, Yandi Shennong, etc., were not real emperors, but only tribal leaders or tribal alliance leaders, and their "emperor" or "emperor" titles were added by later generations.
In ancient times, the monarchs of the Xia Dynasty were called "Hou", the monarchs of the Shang Dynasty were called "Emperor", and Zhou Tianzi was called "Wang".
In ancient times, most of the princes of the Warring States were arrogant kings, and they respected Zhou Tianzi as the "Heavenly King".
In the Great Qin Empire, King Yingzheng of Qin unified the Longchen Continent, and considered himself to be "both virtuous and three emperors, and five emperors of merit"!
These people ushered in the era of kings!
"Emperor, the Lord of Creatures, the Sect of Xingyi!"
"He is called the emperor because of his fertility!"
"The emperor is the top, the emperor is the bottom!"
The ancients said "emperor", which means heaven and earth, and the word "emperor" tells people that heaven and earth are the masters of all things.
The earliest so-called "emperor" is a collective term for the "three emperors and five emperors".
The Three Emperors refer to the Emperor of Heaven, the Emperor of the Earth, and the Emperor of Man, and are the three legendary ancient emperors!
"Emperor" originally refers to the supreme ruler of all things in the universe, that is, the Emperor of Heaven, and later many countries fought each other, each claiming to be the emperor, and the Western Emperor, the Eastern Emperor, the Middle Emperor, the Northern Emperor, etc., made the heavenly "Emperor" come to the world and become a human honorific title beyond the "King"!
In ancient times, the emperor of the Great Qin Empire, the first emperor of the ages, was the ruler of the Great Qin Empire, and after he unified the mainland, he considered himself "the three emperors of virtue and the five emperors of merit", and combined the two highest titles in the world of "emperor" and "emperor" as his own title, and from then on the Son of Heaven was called the emperor.
In the pre-Qin period of ancient times, the supreme ruler was called "Wang", "Hou" or simply "Huang" and "Emperor", such as: Di Yao, Di Shun, Xia Houyu, Shang Tang Wang, Zhou Wen Wang, Zhou Wu Wang.
Yingzheng annexed the six countries and unified the world.
Ying Zheng thought that this was an unprecedented achievement, and even the three emperors and five emperors could not compare to him, if he did not change the title of "king", he would "not be able to call it a success, and pass it on to future generations", so he asked Li Si and others to study how to change their title in order to show their "great achievements".
After Li Si and others discussed, they reported to the King of Qin that in ancient times, there were emperors, emperors of the earth, and emperors of Thailand, and the emperor of Thailand was the most expensive, and the "king" could be changed to "the emperor of Thailand". Ying Zheng thought about it repeatedly, thinking that he was "virtuous and three emperors, and meritorious to cover five emperors", and decided to adopt the titles of "emperor" and "emperor" at the same time, and combined these two titles to be called "emperor", becoming the title of the supreme ruler in the imperial era.
Monarch, also called Your Majesty!
"Your Majesty" originally referred to the steps of the palace, and specifically to the steps in front of the emperor's seat.
When the emperor is in court, there should be close ministers on both sides of the "Majesty" to stand in line with the blades of the soldiers, in case of accidents and show majesty.
Ministers often could not speak directly to the emperor, but had to be conveyed by the guards standing in "His Majesty" to show the exaltation of imperial power.
The emperor is the prominent representative of China's central power, the core of the government and society, and enjoys the highest power and honor.
The emperor called himself "I", and others directly called the emperor "Your Majesty", "Holy Lord", "Long live", etc., and privately called the emperor "Holy Man", "Everyone", "Official Family", "Supreme Being", etc.
Qin Shi Huang of the Great Qin Empire tried to concentrate all the power of the country in the hands of himself, that is, the emperor, that is, "everything in the world is decided by the top"!
Monarch, it's not easy!
The monarch is not only busy with affairs and needs to deal with state affairs, he also has a lot of other etiquette and trivial matters to do!
Thereinto. The grand occasion of the emperor's "holy driving ploughing the fields in the altar of the earth".
At that time, the two counties of Wanping and Daxing under the jurisdiction of Shuntian Prefecture had to prepare for this national ceremony a month in advance, and first looked for dozens of elderly farmers with high moral standing for etiquette training!
At the same time, it is necessary to prepare ploughing cattle and related farm tools, and then select more than 200 people to build a ploughing shed, and the soil of the "home field" should be carefully sifted with a basket and covered with fertile soil.
On the day of the official celebration, the "excellent people" of the Department of Education and Workshop dressed up as the gods of wind, thunder, rain and land, and the children dressed as farmers and peasant women, happily sang the ode to celebrate the peace of the world, and the people lined up on both sides with farm tools in hand, waiting for the holy car to come.
When the emperor ploughs the field, he holds the yellow dragon velvet whip in his left hand, holds the golden dragon plough in his right hand, there are two "guide officers" in front of him, and two old farmers assist in helping the plow, and the old farmers who escort the left and right, the name is "helping the ministers".
Then, after the emperor ascended the "Wangplough Platform" and sat down, he watched the ministers plow, and finally the seeds were sown by the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture, and the old farmers then took the oxen and covered the soil, and the annual holy driving ploughing was completed.
Children dressed as farmers and peasant women offered rice, wheat, beans, etc., praying for the emperor's grace and abundant harvests.
At this time, the emperor also had to accept the congratulations of the ministers, and set up a banquet to entertain the retinue officials above the third grade, and rewarded the people present with two steamed buns and two catties of meat each. The emperor drove back to the palace, and everyone gathered around him with farm tools, and walked to the noon gate, and finally rewarded the old peasants with two pieces of cloth each, and the others with one piece of cloth.
At this point, the spring ploughing celebration is over.
In contemporary terms, the emperor put on a show and let the people of the capital pay.
The plan of the year lies in the spring, and the "True Dragon Son of Heaven" tries to farm, after all, it is still a good thing with positive significance.
An edict is the promulgation of the emperor's edict to show the world.
As early as ancient times, in order to show the importance attached to agricultural activities, in addition to the lunar month and the first lunar month, on the morning of the first day of each month, the governor of Shuntianfu Yin, that is, the chief executive of Kyoto, led the magistrates of Wanping and Daxing counties under his jurisdiction out of the imperial palace and came to the Jinshui Bridge of Chengtianmen to "face the people" to the representatives of the two counties who had been waiting here, and warned the four seas and Kyushu to be diligent in farming, and to cultivate carefully as an important thing.
This should be a monthly document issued by the emperor to promote agriculture.
Agricultural work, the common people naturally know how to schedule, and year after year, such a boring proclamation can not bring benefits to the people, and is not binding, but also to mobilize the people, in order to thank the emperor, this activity has become the spiritual burden of the people, no wonder some people say that they are sick and absent, and some people even "hire scoundrels in the market to fill them in order to answer the order", such people stand in front of the Chengtian Gate to listen to the proclamation, it is really a great irony.
The emperor in the palace will not know about this situation.
The famous book "Miscellaneous Records of the Wan Department", the author Shen Bang served as the magistrate of Wanping County for three years during the Wanli period, and he wrote helplessly that the emperor "knew that the harvest was difficult", and "every month he would proclaim Jingzhao" to reach the world, and also earnestly warned the people that "the people's livelihood is diligent, and the diligence is not scarce", but such a major event of survival is not understood by the people, and then sighed that "the people do not obey, and the people are stupid".
At that time, there was no way to examine what the people of Li really thought, and there was no positive expression in the book about how ordinary people lived. However, there are detailed records of the human geography and economic conditions in the area under the jurisdiction of Shuncheonfu, as well as the consumption of various celebrations and sacrificial activities of the royal family and nobles. For example, in the twelfth year of Wanli, the farmland of the peasants in Wanping County was occupied by the cemeteries opened by the royal family.
Also, at that time, there were more than 100 cemeteries of the emperor's relatives in Wanping County, and the annual grave offerings and related expenses required 900 taels of silver, according to the regulations, "the two counties bank office", that is, this should be borne by the people of the two counties.

However, as a monarch, there are also many evasions!
Avoidance is simply too important for a country!
Because if you are not careful, it will cause avoidance!
Kill you!
Avoidance is a unique phenomenon in the Longchen Continent, which began in the Zhou, became in the Qin, flourished in the Tang and Song dynasties, and is now more complete and dense.
At that time, people could not call or write the emperor or the elder by name, otherwise there was a risk of going to prison or even losing his head for committing a crime. A common way to avoid is to replace the word to be avoided with another word with the same or similar meaning. As a result, there are many strange phenomena of changing the names of people, places or things.
For example, the first month of the lunar calendar was originally called "the first month" in ancient times, because the ancient emperors had to accept the worship of civil and military officials in the first month of the year and decide the political affairs of the year.
The monarch, not only men can serve as the monarch, but also the customs and habits of the Longchen Continent, and women can also serve if they have the strength!
In ancient times, Yuan Xu was killed by the Empress Dowager Hu, the country can not be without a monarch for a day, the Empress Dowager Hu then brought a baby girl from the harem, pretending to be the son of Emperor Xiaoming, let the baby girl be the emperor, and followed his father's name "Wutai", soon the Empress Dowager Hu in order to avoid being known to everyone, so she killed the baby girl, and set up Yuan Zhao, the son of Yuan Hui, as the emperor, for the young lord of the Northern Wei Dynasty.
Therefore, the baby girl was manipulated by the Empress Dowager Hu, hurriedly ascended the throne and died in a hurry, so her name was not even left in history, and she could generally be called "Yuan girl".
Later, Yelu Pu finished the official system, changed to Yuan Chongfu, called the Queen Mother of Chengtian, and then due to the control of his father-in-law Xiao Huli and the horse Xiao Duolu, Yelu Pu Suwan proclaimed himself the emperor, was the Emperor of Chengtian, within a few days, the news leaked, Yelu Pu was killed, and Yelu Zhilugu ascended the throne. Yelupu quickly finished the nickname "Queen Mother Chengtian"!
