Chapter 1351 Serving tea to the future father-in-law
Prince Ning asked people to remove the folds from the table and bring two chairs over.
The first time Xiao Ya and Lu Mingjun entered the palace, they saluted their elders.
Immediately afterwards, there was an attendant from the mansion, a young woman wearing a gauze with a black silk armband, who brought two cups of tea one after another and handed them to Lu Mingjun and Xiao Ya respectively.
When Lu Mingjun saw Xiao Ya holding up the tea cup, he made a fist with his right hand, with the back of his fist facing up, and tapped the table with his five fingers three times, which meant that the person pouring the tea was bowing to the ground.
Lu Mingjun blinked and quickly imitated, offering Wen Wanrou a cup of tea.
Wen Wanrou took the teacup out of habit and tapped the edge of the teacup to show respect to Lu Mingjun.
Seeing this, Lu Mingjun couldn't help but feel ashamed. There are so many rules in a big family.
Xiao Ya served tea to Prince Ning, and Lu Mingjun served tea to Wen Wanrou. Then the two of them took turns, and another person served tea to each other.
The purpose of daily rules is to increase the time for children to meet and have contact with their elders. After a daily tea visit in the morning, both parties will communicate about the day's daily routine and talk to each other about their concerns.
Most of this behavior is to serve as a guide for the people below to respect their elders and abide by the rules. It is a manifestation of observance of etiquette in the Confucian lineage.
In troubled times, there may not be so many rules. In prosperous times, you must abide by the rules everywhere, because only by observing the rules can you extend the time of the prosperous age to a certain extent. This is one of the manifestations of the leader taking the lead in order to maintain the foundation of rule.
one.
Often the superstructure is the basis that determines the behavior of the people below. The leading role actually plays a considerable role for the people to a certain extent.
After the tea ceremony, Xiao Ya and Lu Mingjun sat on the stools brought by the entourage. It could be clearly seen that Prince Ning was not in a good mood at the moment, as if he had the words "melancholy and contentment" written on his face.
Xiao Ya then spoke: "Father, is there anything that worries you today?"
When Prince Ning saw Xiao Ya's question, he changed his hands and placed the scroll at the end of the table. It was a bright yellow brocade fabric woven from golden silk. The pattern embroidered on it was auspicious clouds and auspicious cranes, which was magnificent.
On the back of the silk brocade, Lu Mingjun glanced briefly with his eyes and saw the words "Imperial Edict" tattooed on it. It began with "Blessed by Heaven" and the emperor's edict, with eight characters in a row.
In this era, it was common for the emperor to use such a high-level imperial edict and write these eight characters, which usually meant some kind of major event.
Prince Ning tapped his fingertips on the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, as if he was thinking, and he spoke slowly.
"The 800-mile urgent express that arrived this morning was personally delivered by a mountaineering master from the royal family, stepping on the void."
Xiao Ya took the imperial edict, looked at it word by word, and thought about its meaning.
Lu Mingjun glanced at it briefly and felt that his scalp was numb. The calligraphy was a good calligraphy. The word was slanted and very neat. The obtuse angle at the end of each stroke gave people a sharp-edged feeling.
The handwriting is just like the person it is! Generally speaking, people in temples, including some aristocratic ministers and other figures in the palace, have deliberately made their handwriting rounder when they were practicing it since they were young.
Because in this way, when writing to His Majesty, the Emperor will be given the intention to work hard and not complain. He will truly step into the temple and ascend the hall. Every detail that everyone needs to pay attention to every day and every movement expresses
The meaning will be carefully studied and studied.
People in that position often would rather do nothing than make mistakes. This is the most true manifestation.
Inside the temple, the imperial power was still at its peak. As long as the founding majesty of the Xiao family, the ancestor of the queen, and the ancestor remained at the center, no matter how big things happened within the court, they would succumb to absolute power.
It's just a difference between you wanting to be decent and I want you to be decent.
There was an ancestor who sat in the capital of the Daqian Dynasty, and the imperial power had never reached its peak. Therefore, in the entire Daqian Dynasty, the surname Xiao was Tian, which represented the highest authority and power in the south of the world.
When the imperial power is exposed, the ministers in the temple will naturally fall into the same category, and usually at this time, the influence of the relatives will take over the temple.
The interest space of ordinary ministers occupies more space in a certain period of time.
This is also the case in the Daqian Dynasty. His Majesty's wife today is a saint-level figure from a certain top sect in the past. Her absolute genius, status and corresponding birth must also be among the group who have reached the top of the pyramid.
If the royal family has an ancestor who is at the top of the mountaineering realm, and his relatives belong to a top sect, and they also have a top ancestor who is at the peak of the mountaineering realm, then the ministers will inevitably be weakened under the imperial power, and their original interests will be divided, and their survival will be compressed. space.
The current top strength of the representatives headed by the ministers is only in the middle stage of the mountaineering realm, but there are people who have followed the founding majesty of the Daqian Dynasty since the early days of its establishment, and trained a considerable number of great scholars for the Daqian Dynasty, and their talents are all over the world.
On the temple side, it is different from the feudal dynasty that Lu Mingjun knew in the previous world. Ordinary people have outstanding abilities. If they know how to cling to and have substantial achievements that benefit the people, they have a chance to reach the temple. Even if This chance is so slim that it will take almost two or three generations to complete.
But in today's world, whether it is the Daqian Dynasty or the Northern Sheng Dynasty, people want to enter the temple, or have a place in the temple and have a certain right to speak, or they want to be the governor of a state. There must be strong support behind it.
It turns out that this is the world of martial arts, and there are rules in the world of martial arts. In the prefectures and prefectures, those governors must be backed by masters who are in the early stages of the mountaineering realm. If they want to enter the temple, their backers must also be in the early stages of the mountaineering realm.
To reach a position similar to the chief minister of the cabinet, you must at least have the support of a strong person in the mid-level mountaineering realm behind you.
Strong power is the foundation for maintaining the power structure. This is different from the previous world. In fact, if the underlying logic is studied deeply...
The corresponding status must be supported by a corresponding strength base. The judgment of this strength base is based on one's loyal subordinates and the other is the resources and strength at one's disposal.
No matter in a dynasty or a temple, everyone pays attention to stability. In this position, how to make others admire and how to convince others can maintain collective interests for a long time without any troubles in the process. .
