Lu Zhang explained: "This is very simple! If we talk about etiquette, it is to hold a canonization ceremony and submit it to the emperor's rule as a vassal state of the Yellow Emperor.·1kanshu·cc At the ceremony, the ceremony of Hegui was performed, and the Chinese calendar was promulgated in the country.
, use the Yellow Emperor's lineage to record the year. After the ceremony is completed, you will be the Bajun officially canonized by the emperor, and the leader of the Ba Kingdom recognized by all the tribes in the world."
The young minister didn't say anything, but just glanced into the palace. Master Cangzheng Xiaoyang said: "Excuse me, Master Angel, when the former King Yan Zhao established the Ba Kingdom five hundred years ago, he was not canonized by the emperor, and the Ba Kingdom was also the Ba Kingdom.
The country. Now that the Lord, Shaowu, has not been canonized by the emperor, he has also become the king who unifies Bayuan. Why must he be named a vassal country?"
Lord Bingzheng, Beidao, asked more directly: "Will being canonized by the emperor bring any benefits to the country of Ba? Ba Jun is the lord of Ba Yuan. He is so good. Why should he surrender to the emperor? What needs to be done after being canonized?
Woolen cloth?"
Yes, why should the young minister accept the canonization by the emperor? Lu Zhang scratched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment: "Emperors in past dynasties have held the human emperor's seal as the co-owner of the world, and canonized the kings of their respective countries and ministries. This has been a tradition since ancient times.
."
Lu Zhang was simple in temperament, but because of his position in the Lizheng Palace, his responsibilities were to observe the heavenly time, determine the calendar, and teach the harmony between heaven and man. He did not have to involve himself in the court and the many secular affairs in the country that were full of human whims. In addition to making ritual utensils, Lu Zhang usually
He just concentrates on practicing and comprehends the changes in the aura of heaven and earth. He doesn't like to think too much about other things, and there is no need for him to worry about other things.
It is true that no one has asked Lu Zhang this kind of question, and Lu Zhang is a real person, and it is not easy to talk casually in this situation. If he were Ba Jun Shaowu, he could give a very beautiful answer. But Lu Zhang can't.
He would simply answer that, although he was an academy ritual officer, he was responsible for making utensils rather than etiquette, and he was not a competent canonized angel.
Hou Gang secretly made the introduction with his spiritual thoughts. It is indeed a tradition in the land of China for the emperor to confer the king of a vassal country. Starting from the Qing Emperor's time, all tribes were conquered and the world was unified, and the human emperor was the leader respected by all tribes. Want to read·
1kanshu·cc The so-called Kingdom of China is a large alliance that includes all tribal forces. It also includes many surrounding vassal countries.
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 is surrounded by wilderness on all sides and is almost isolated from the outside world. Only in this way can a highly unified centralized state be established. Otherwise, the transportation and communication conditions at that time would be difficult.
It is difficult to achieve centralized rule by the central government.
If the monarch issued an order, it would take half a year to send it to the local city walls, and another half year to give feedback to the monarch. In fact, it is impossible to establish a decree system under the direct jurisdiction of the central government, and it is impossible for taxes from various parts of the country to be directly transported to the central government.
.Bayuan is also large enough. Without this relatively closed environment, it would have been difficult for a unified Pakistan to emerge at that time.
Almost all the emperors of heaven in the past dynasties came to Bayuan and left their own inheritance here. Maybe they thought this was a treasured land for spiritual practice. From Bayuan, everything in the world could be seen. The development trajectory of Bayuan also revealed the past and future of China.
face.
The land of China is vast and boundless, and many remote areas are still in an uncivilized and barbaric state. It is impossible for the human emperor to establish a direct ruling regime in all places. In many places, it is indirect governance or symbolic submission. The emperor is not only the ruler of the country of China.
The co-owner is also the leader of a large tribal alliance.
At the earliest, Emperor Taihao pacified various tribes. He passed on various skills to people, including various living habits, which became customs, and then the customs became etiquette. The emperor not only represented the leader of the largest central tribe, but also the disputes among the subordinate tribes.
Mediator. For example, delimiting tribal territory and formulating rules and etiquette that should be followed in dealings between tribes are also the duties of the emperor.
Leaving aside external disputes, the most common internal disputes among various countries and tribes are actually the competition for the identity of the king, clan leader and heirs of various assets. When this happens, the emperor will mediate and canonize, so that each tribe and leader can have a legitimate identity.
Everyone agrees that if there is a rebellion, the emperor will summon all the ministries to conquer and put it down.
This system has been implemented for nearly a thousand years since Emperor Qing, Emperor Yan, and Emperor Huang until now. It has been a tradition for a long time. In most cases, the emperor does not intervene in domestic disputes.
It's just that after the new leader officially appeared, he was canonized symbolically to recognize his orthodox status. I haven't heard of anyone who would refuse, and no one would ask why.
After listening to Hou Gang's explanation, the young minister already knew what he was talking about and asked with a smile: "Lord Angel, you only need to tell me what is the situation of the various vassal countries that have 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 in each country is different. It depends on the time and the place. If we talk about the common points, as the Master Beidao just asked, of course it is of great benefit. Belonging to the various tribes of the Yellow Emperor,
If there is an invasion from outside, the Emperor will call on all the ministries from all over the world to help conquer the foreign enemies. If there are evil spirits causing chaos, or if there are natural disasters, you can also ask the Emperor for help, and the Emperor will send people to kill the evil spirits, eliminate the evils, and control the disasters and put an end to the chaos."
Master Ba Guofuzheng said: "It sounds good, but can it really be done?"
Lu Zhang: "This is what the emperor promised to the world. If he can't do it, how can he become the common master of the world? Think about the last Emperor Yan, Yu Zong. He couldn't calm down the chaos in various places and calm down the disputes among the tribes. If the world didn't accept it, he would be punished.
Emperor Xuanyuan took his place."
Ba Guoli Zhengda said: "We can't enjoy these benefits in vain, and what do we need to do? Since Ba Jun has proclaimed himself a minister to the emperor, does he have to obey the emperor's orders in everything?"
Lu Zhang was a little confused: "Of course it is like this from the perspective of etiquette and law, but the situation of each country is different. If you are a minister to the emperor, you will still be king in the country. If Ba is invaded by foreign enemies, the emperor can call on all the subordinate countries to help Ba.
The enemy may even send a large army directly from the imperial capital to help. If a neighboring country is in trouble, the country of Ba should also respond to the emperor's call and help.
But the situation in Israel and Palestine seems to be untouched by these things. It is impossible to send a large army out of Palestine, and there are no neighboring vassal states. It is even less possible for China to send a large army into Palestine. It only requires respect for etiquette.
The Son of Heaven will pay a tribute every year for nearby countries and a tribute for distant countries every three years. The Emperor will also reward all countries with the utensils produced in China."
Another gentleman said: "The Lord is not canonized, he is also the Lord of Bayuan, so why should he be vassal to others?" This Lord was born in a clan, but he only knew that there was Bayuan in the world, so he instinctively rejected this kind of thing, feeling that
Lu Zhang came out of nowhere and wanted to confer Ba Jun as a minister of the emperor. Does Ba Jun's status require him to accept such a conferment?
Lu Zhang thought and replied: "You may have misunderstood. The emperor will not deprive Bajun of his position and will not be involved in Bajun's politics. If there is civil strife in Bajun, he will send angels to mediate. The emperor canonizes Bajun to establish his orthodox status in etiquette and law.
"We are not trying to seize Bajun's country, let alone the land of Bayuan. The ancestors of Ba are not only descendants of Shaodian, but also the emperor's subjects."
Shaowu smiled and said: "My ancestor Yanzhao, as a descendant of Shaodian, should respect the Emperor of China. However, Bayuan is vast, and it is located in a remote, closed and self-reliant place. It is not a trivial matter to enthrone the king of the country. If it can really be done, Bayuan will do it."
All the people are celebrating together, and the emperor should also pay great attention to it. Why did he only send Lord Lu Zhang to come all the way, one person and one car?"
At this time, Hou Gang suddenly interjected and asked: "Master Lu Zhang, you were not ordered by the emperor, but were sent directly by Danzhu, right?"
Lu Zhang was stunned again and asked: "How did you know?"
Hougang laughed and said: "Given the vastness of Ba Yuan, the establishment of Ba Kingdom with salt omens, and the merits of Shaowu unifying Ba Yuan, if Ba Jun is willing to return to his clan and become a subject of the emperor, this is a major event for the country of China, how can it be like this?
simple?
The emperor should first send envoys to contact Bajun, so that Bajun can know all the affairs in China, know that the direct descendants of Shaodian are the co-owners of all tribes, recognize the orthodoxy of the clan, and are willing to be added to the list of vassals. Only after all relevant matters have been discussed, the emperor can send envoys to formally confer the title.
Ba Jun, so that everyone in the world knows that Ba Jun exists and recognizes the identity of Ba Jun as the leader of the country.
And Mr. Lu Zhang came too hastily, why did he come directly to consecrate Bajun with one man and one car? 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 arrived at the Yunmeng Juze area. I learned that Bajun unified Bayuan and restored the Ba Kingdom. It is far more prosperous than before. The emperor heard that
I am very happy to hear the news. I have been specially ordered to come to Ba Yuan in Xuanyuan Cloud Chariot and canonize Ba Jun with the emperor's orders."
The young minister frowned slightly: "So, Mr. Lu Zhang came to Ba Yuan not on the orders of the emperor, but on the orders of the emperor Danzhu. When you came out, the emperor Yao didn't know about it, so why?
Come and issue an edict to confer the title?"
Lu Zhang's expression became even more embarrassing: "Danzhu inspected Jiuli on behalf of the emperor, which means he has the status of an angel; he temporarily gave me the Xuanyuan Yun Chaan, which means he ordered me to act on his behalf. It is a good thing to canonize Ba Jun, not only for Ba Yuan.
Joy is also the joy of China. The emperor will be happy when he hears the news and will be happy to see it come true.
Before leaving, Danzhu told me that he had sent someone to report the matter to the emperor urgently, and the emperor would issue an edict later. When I returned from my mission to Ba Yuan, the edict would have been completed and it would be a great contribution to the country of China.
"
Hou Gang asked seriously: "To enthrone a king of a country, there should be an edict from the emperor. Now that the emperor has no edict, Master Lu Zhang claims to be an angel. Is it against etiquette?"
Lu Zhang: "That's what I said to Danzhu. But Danzhu told me that the emperor must have an edict after hearing the news, and I have already taken care of the matter in advance. When I return, the emperor's edict will be issued just in time, and he can take me with him."
Returning to the imperial capital to resume my life. Ba Yuan is a long way away, so it saves a lot of time and eliminates the need to travel back and forth. When I thought about it, it made sense, so I came."
When the young minister looked at Lu Zhang again, he looked a bit dumbfounded and didn't want to speak. Hou Gang then asked: "If you formally ennoble a vassal state, you should follow the ceremony of combining Gui, and the Gui used is personally given by the Emperor. Since the Emperor
I don’t know about this yet, but where did the Kei in your hand come from?”
Lu Zhang lowered his head and said: "This Gui, it, it was actually refined by me."
Hougang lowered his voice and said: "Privately making ritual vessels and pretending to claim them as gifts from the emperor is a serious crime! You are a ceremonial officer in the court, how can you be so reckless?" (To be continued.)
