Chapter 325, the emperor's natural sense of power
Knowing that the Heavenly Master was coming, Zhao Zhen was very prepared. His buckle on weekdays, Zhao Zhen, who is reluctant to drink even a bowl of mutton soup at night, shows the emperor's etiquette this time.
Lile civilization is an important part of ancient Chinese civilization. As early as the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties, the ancient sages formed a set of quite perfect ritual and music system through the making of rituals and music, and promoted it as a moral and ethical ritual and music education to maintain the harmony of human ethics in the social order. Etiquette and music complement each other to form a complete and orderly social, political and cultural system.
Rite was originally a primitive religious ritual in which the ancients prayed for blessings, and in this kind of ceremony, various activities such as sacrifices, praise to the gods, and prayers were carried out in accordance with certain procedures. In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, after the transformation of Zhou Gong and others, the rites were transformed from a religious system to a basic social code system, stipulating all aspects of the social life of the aristocracy and the political life of the country. According to the "Rites", there are 17 ceremonies at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, including the crown ceremony, wedding, meeting ceremony, township drinking ceremony, township shooting ceremony, dowry ceremony, pilgrimage ceremony, funeral ceremony, sacrificial ceremony, murder ceremony, military ceremony (march, march), guest ceremony, etc.
Zhang Tianshi was greeted by a guest gift.
Welcome hall, magnificent atmosphere, majestic extraordinary, show the royal style, there are enchanting and moving dancers dancing inside, the sound of melodious singing and music floats to the ear, and the fragrance is permeated everywhere, and there is little smoke.
That's music. Music was originally an auxiliary primitive religious ritual, which was a means for the ancients to "praise the gods and entertain the gods" in the form of dance and music. At the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, after the transformation of Zhou Gong and others, music became the basic way for people to communicate emotions in social occasions such as in the temple, in the patriarchal township, in the father, son, and the eldest and younger, and so on. Xunzi appropriately called this function of music "harmony".
If it was a person with no inheritance who saw this meeting, it was really Grandma Liu who had entered the Grand View Garden.
But Zhang Tianshi is a person with a heritage. When people look at it, they understand. The essence of etiquette is difference, that is to say, between the noble and the low, the respected and the lowly, the elder and the young, the close and the sparse, all kinds of people must abide by their own code of conduct, and there is absolutely no confusion. This kind of differentiated order is called "etiquette" and cannot be transgressed. Therefore, Confucius said: "Incivility is ignored, incivility is ignored, incivility is ignored, incivility is ignored, and incivility is moved."
However, if society only talks about differences, and does not talk about great harmony, there will be no harmony in society. Therefore, Zhou Gong "made rituals" and "made music" at the same time, and music talked about harmony, music of course refers to music, but it has gone beyond music, and music arouses people's emotions of joy, anger, sorrow and joy with the same resonance.
Later, he replaced the music with listening to the opera in the big garden, and even when foreigners came, there was no fun, and Li Hongzhang could only let people sing jasmine, which really lost the inheritance.
"Now, although it has gone through five generations and ten countries, the inheritance is still there. "This is still the land of the Han people. It's what the Han family court looks like. Zhang Tianshi glanced at it, and immediately had a conclusion in his heart. It's also a lot of closeness.
Longhu Mountain is naturally pro-Han, because the source of Longhu Mountain is in Han, and if they deny Han, they will also deny themselves.
So this formation came out. When Zhang Tianshi saw it, it was a natural closeness.
If it is a Confucian student here, it is estimated that the emperor will have to be admonished.
But is the emperor extravagant and wasteful? This meeting is also set by you. Ministers, there is no Kabuki in any house.
The emperor didn't call him a kabuki, but the court musicians were always raised. Whether you use it or not, this salary is still open.
As for the banquet. Hehe, Zhao Zhen's banquet is really not as big as the cost of those who feasted the Heavenly Master.
Basically, take it, that is to say, these women. All of them have excellent postures and are extremely beautiful, and they are not collected by ordinary people.
Even the temperament of others, the openness of the release, the hotness and temptation of twisting the body, ordinary people can't raise it.
Of course, I can't understand how many of these women who have been specially trained are secret agents.
"I really didn't expect that the official court was so magnificent, it really opened my eyes. Zhang Tianshi said with a sigh. Leads to conversation.
Changsheng, he didn't want to talk. Woman, he can't talk. Inherited from the Han Dynasty, how many years has it been passed down among a mink girl. The women of the palace, that's an idiot to touch.
"Hehe, the Heavenly Master is overrated. Come, I'll give a cup to the Heavenly Master first. The official raised the wine glass in his hand and said.
Zhang Tianshi looked at a glass cup next to him, which emitted a red light.
He asked, "What kind of wine is this?"
The official said with a smile: "This is the Western Regions grape wine in the Tang Dynasty palace, when the Tang Dynasty palace collapsed, some grape wine was buried in the ground and forgotten." If the division arrives today, why should they see the light of day again? ”
Such a valuable wine has been made. It seems that the official family is asking for a lot. I'm afraid I'm going to have to use some means.
Zhang Tianshi thought and took a bite into the air from the wine glass.
A breath of wine was inhaled into his abdomen.
"Good wine. Zhang Tianshi couldn't help but praise.
Putting down the wine glass, the grape wine inside has lost its aroma, like white water.
"Okay! Sure enough, it's the inheritance of the Heavenly Master. Seeing Zhang Tianshi's methods, Zhao Zhen praised it even more.
The better Zhang Tianshi's methods, the more Zhao Zhen likes it. As an emperor, he couldn't do much about political reform. There are Qingli gentlemen in the front desk, and there are Yan Shuyan old ministers behind the scenes. And military power, that's something that would rather be destroyed than let the emperor touch it!
In the long history of the original, he was just being a good person, Renjun. When he was the queen mother, he was the filial son of the empress dowager. The gentlemen of Qingli, he is a wise king who has delegated power, watch them reform, and see them fail. That is, someone rebelled, and someone Hu came in, and he, the emperor, showed his face.
Hiss - really a virtuous king in the eyes of the literati.
Now, Shen Shi is here. In a trance, he seemed to have discovered another hidden power in the world, demons and monsters.
Even better, it's a force that no one is harnessing. Worshipping ghosts and gods and staying away from them is not simply keeping people away from ghosts and gods. There's politics in that, too. To understand Confucius's attitude towards ghosts and gods, the most important thing is to understand that he is a sub-surname. The reason why I want to emphasize this point is because to understand that he said this not from his identity as a Confucian leader, but with his identity as a remnant of Yin Shang.
In order to prevent the leakage of divine power, the Shang royal family strictly restricted the sacrificial power of its vassal states. The merchant claimed to be the sole legal representative of the gods to communicate with the gods, and it was strictly forbidden for others to chat with the "gods" without permission. Even after Yi Yin, a famous virtuous minister of the Shang Dynasty, he could not sacrifice Yi Yin without authorization, and he could only worship his ancestors with the consent of the Shang royal family.
But does it work?
It's useless, and the Zhou people haven't killed the businessmen who believe in God.
