Because of the strange stars, Guo Hao created a "Huaqing Festival", which many people were puzzled.

Guo Hao is not a singular person, otherwise someone would have proposed to treat his birthday as a festival for the people to celebrate, but Guo Hao did not agree.

Now that there are suddenly three more days of vacation, the ministers are happy. As for whether the vision is good or bad, Guo Hao will not feel uncomfortable if he doesn't ask them.

This year's Huaqing Festival is too hasty, and Guo Hao couldn't let them prepare anything, but he had already thought about it in his mind.

Next year's Huaqing Festival, the first batch of students from the Military Academy graduated. On this day, he will be a military parade. At that time, he will invite all envoys from various countries to show the strength of the Song Dynasty, and let the students see it.

When he didn't go to court the next day, Guo Hao took Li Hui to visit Bianliang City. He was still very authoritative. The people asked him to celebrate and many young people took to the streets to play.

"Li Hui, how is your son doing in the military academy? He is getting along well with his classmates."

Guo Hao just cared about it and asked casually. Li Hui's face turned slightly red when he heard this. At that time, Guo Hao asked Li Hui's son to follow him and take over Li Hui's position in the future.

At that time, Li Hui agreed very happily, but Li Hui's son wanted to go to the military academy, which made Li Hui very embarrassed and felt sorry for Guo Hao's trust.

Guo Hao saw Li Hui's embarrassment, smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You don't have to worry. Take a few apprentices in the future, and I will leave my safety to you!"

"yes!"

Li Hui nodded quickly. In fact, Li Hui knew very well that it was not a good thing to be by Guo Hao, and it was not a joke to be with the king and be with the tiger.

After the two have been together for so many years, Guo Hao also knows the temper. Although it is not easy to kill, he will not blink when he kills people.

The two of them were disguised and walked casually on the street. At this time, Guo Hao was an old man with white beards and looked very elegant.

"Li Hui, do you know what we are doing now?"

"do what?"

Li Hui was a little confused and didn't understand what Guo Hao wanted to say. Guo Hao seemed to be a little tired from leaving, so he found a teahouse to drink some tea. Since the new tea appeared, it has become a household name now.

The two entered the teahouse and went directly to the second floor. There was a storyteller below, who seemed to be talking about someone’s heroic deeds. When you hear carefully, wouldn’t you just say that he is himself!

"That's right, the officials led a large army to attack Liaodong, the Emperor of Goryeo was frightened and the Jurchens surrendered directly..."

The story is about Guo Hao's attack on Liaodong. The story is a bit exaggerated. Most of the time someone has done artistic processing to praise Guo Hao's achievements.

When Guo Hao heard the word "official family", he found it very interesting. Now all the civil and military officials in the court called him His Majesty, and few people called him that.

The word "official family" was first seen in the Eastern Han Dynasty and during the Three Kingdoms period, and its original meaning was "official government" and "official court", just as people in some places often call the government "public family".

For example, in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the minister Xun Yue wrote in his "Previous Han Ji": "The favorable officials are better than the three generations; the violent powerful people are more cruel than the destruction of Qin.

It means that the Han Dynasty gave more tax incentives to the people than the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties; but the local tyrants were even more powerful than the Qin dynasties."

The "official family" here obviously means "the court".

During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the meaning of "official family" was expanded and was used to refer to officials, which was almost equivalent to the current "public family".

For example, in the notes of Pei Qi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it is recorded that the General Huan Wen of the Eastern Jin Dynasty made a northern expedition and obtained an old maid who served the famous minister Liu Kun when he was young and "danced with Zu Ti".

The old maid cried when she saw Huan Wen, and explained the reason for her crying and said: "The official family is very similar to Liu Sikong, you look too much like Liu Kun."

As for the word "official family" to call kings, they were first seen in "Song Books" by Chen Yue of the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Cui Hong of the Northern Wei Dynasty.

In "Book of Song Dynasty: Biography of Tuyuhun of Xianbei", Chen Yue explained the word "Kehan ​​(Khan)" and said that this is equivalent to the "official family" mentioned by the Liu Song people of the Southern Dynasty. Obviously, the "official family" in the mouths of the Liu Song people was the king.

In "The Spring and Autumn Period of the Sixteen Kingdoms: Biography of Shihu", Prince Shi Sui of Later Zhao also used the word "official family" to call his own Laozi, Shihu, the King of Great Zhao.

The reason why the king is called "official family" is probably because the king is naturally the highest representative of the court and the biggest "public family".

Moreover, according to Zou Yan's "Chinxian Shenzhou" in the Warring States Period, kings of the Han Dynasty were often called "county officials".

Later, the Song people said that the king was called "official family" because "the five emperors and the three kings and the world." This was obviously a conscience and was just deliberately praising it.

Next, when we searched the word "official family" in the Sui and Tang dynasties, we found that there were nearly 50 items, which basically meant "the court" and "official".

For example, the poem written by Wang Jian, a poet in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, "It is bitter to grow and grow at the edge of the post station, and the official family makes me lead the post station ship."

Generally speaking, from the late Eastern Han Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, "official families" had several meanings, including courts, officials, kings, etc., but the meaning of courts was the most commonly used, followed by officials, and examples of calling kings are rare.

By the end of the Tang Dynasty, the number of examples of using "official family" to call kings gradually increased.

The "Old Book of Tang" written in the Five Dynasties period, in which one of the "official families" is used as the king.

The "Old History of the Five Dynasties" written in the early Song Dynasty of Emperor Taizu of Song Dynasty, in which the word "official family" appears more frequently, at least seven or eight places, and is explained as the meaning of a king.

In the poem written by Xu (Madam Huarui), the Shu Concubine Shu (Mrs. Huarui), in the Five Dynasties, "Official family comes out on the La Liga day of the Ming Dynasty, and you must first call the inner person with your own way." "Official family" also clearly refers to the king.

Later, the Song Dynasty inherited the remnants of the Five Dynasties, not only inherited the habit of calling the king a "official family", but also used it very frequently. Not only in private occasions, but also in court, people could call the Emperor Song a "official family".

But the question is, the word "official family" has appeared for so long, why did it surpass "Sage", "Emperor", and "Emperor" in the Song Dynasty and became the most common name for kings and was officially recognized?

This is related to the founding of the Song Dynasty and secular life.

On the one hand, during the Five Dynasties, "strong soldiers and strong horses became the emperor themselves", and the emperor changed like a lantern, and the Zhao family also came to power through mutiny. The "mysteriousness" of the emperor's "ghostly power" was greatly reduced. They even called the emperor "Sage" and "Son of the Emperor", but they themselves didn't believe it.

According to Shen Kuo's "Mengxi Bitan", Taizu of Song once asked Prime Minister Zhao Pu, which is the biggest in the world?

Zhao Pu thought for a long time and replied that "the truth is the greatest", but did not say "the emperor is the greatest". Song Taizu was not only not angry, but instead praised him very much.

Just imagine, if the Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang or the Qing Dynasty Kangxi Qianlong asked this, the ministers would probably not have good results if they answered this way.

But these things did not happen here in Guo Hao, but this title still appeared, which is related to another reason.

On the other hand, as we all know, the Song Dynasty was an extremely secular society. People usually called farmers "farmers", doctors "medicines", and poets called "poets", so they felt that the term "officials" was very easy to say.

Perhaps in the eyes of the world, the emperor is just a profession.

When Guo Hao heard someone calling him the official family, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it, but instead felt it was quite friendly.

But his official family is very different from Zhao Kuangyin. If he asked Zhao Pu who was the biggest, Zhao Pu would not dare to answer that way.

Just as Guo Hao was drinking tea, two people came over the street, and they turned out to be Li Jilong and Guo Yanhan.

Guo Hao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw two young people together. Although he didn't care enough about his children, he was his daughter after all.

At this time, the two were already very familiar with each other and had passed the shy stage, like a man and a woman in love, playing on the street.

After three years of training, Li Jilong has matured a lot. He is very busy with training on weekdays and has no chance to come out to play.

Guo Hao saw that the two of them seemed to be leaving the city, so he got up and followed.

The two followed a little behind, and Li Hui didn't ask what Guo Hao was going to do. They came to the Bian River and suddenly a few masked people appeared from the water and rushed towards Li Jilong.
