Chapter 35
I took off my shoes and entered the main hall. The floor of the main hall was paved with good wooden boards. In this era, the ground was just a seat. When I put on my shoes, I would dirty the floor and everyone's clothes.
When the etiquette of Mr. Meng was in the deep mountains, Zhao Yong taught Zhao Xing, but he was just right and did not make any jokes.
After the etiquette, Zhao Yong took Zhao Xing's hand and introduced to the ministers and officials: "Mr. Zhao Xing saved me in the pursuit of Prince Jie's death. When he fled in the mountains, he gave me some advice and let all beasts listen. Mr. Xu's knowledge is unprecedented in ancient times. Now I officially announced that I am worshipping Mr. Xu, and Mr. Xu is my teacher."
Then he walked into the hall and gave Zhao Xing solemnly. Zhao Xing accepted it calmly.
Then Zhao Yong took over Shu Xiu from Mrs. Yan and the current Empress Dowager Zhao.
In ancient times, the ceremony of apprenticeship was very grand. Confucius said that he would practice the above by himself, and I never regret it. The meaning was - "As long as I took the initiative to give me ten pieces of dried meat as gifts for meetings, I never did not give me any teachings."
In fact, shrubs are jerky meat, and one bunch is ten pieces. Such gifts are grand and luxurious in this era, but they are cheap and shabby for Zhao Xing.
In this era, meat is a luxury. People only have over 70 years old to eat meat. What is left is money and status, which is a symbol of status. Therefore, Cao Gui, who was still struggling in the folk at that time, expressed the despicable sourness of meat eaters who could not eat meat.
After taking the black meat that seemed even harder to chew than a wooden stick, Zhao Xing thought to himself that tomorrow's breakfast was over.
After taking Shu Xiu, it is equivalent to formally establishing the teacher-student relationship between Zhao Xing and Zhao Yong. His identity is not a commoner but a national teacher. Now others call him not Zhao Xing, but Xingzi.
Zhao Yong announced again: "Now, I am worshipping Mr. Xingzi as a false preface and assisting me in governing state affairs."
The false appearance is a temporary official position. It was sometimes not available, but it was the assistant to the assistant, the housekeeper of the housekeeper. He could participate in anything and express his opinion on anything, but he could not do anything, but he could never escape responsibility.
If the king trusts you, you are an important person. If the king does not trust you, you are a dispensable fart.
It seems that this position must be the result of careful discussion between Zhao Yong and Fei Yi.
Everyone was not surprised when the emperor and the ministers came. Especially when Zhao Xing came, he was just a false appearance, a temporary worker, and he was dispensable. He did not invade other people's official positions, so everyone accepted it safely.
The eunuchs put on a robe, which was gorgeous and grand. Zhao Yong personally wore it for Zhao Xing. This is not an official uniform, it is called a long coat, it is worn outside the skirt, and it is only worn when going out. It is equivalent to the current windbreaker. Those who wear windbreaker are all great people, which is the same as the present. Wearing a high crown to Zhao Xing is not a hat, it is called Cheyun. It represents the appointment of the king, and represents, Zhao Xing, you are already a nobleman of Zhao.
In the 2000th century from the Xia Dynasty to the present Zhou Dynasty, the class has been solidified. It is very difficult for a person to squeeze into a noble from a commoner, and it is difficult to compare with the moon landing in later generations. A talented person like Wu Qi, even if he is the chief magistrate of Chu, below one person and above ten thousand people, he is still not a nobleman. He is still a scholar who is despised by the nobles of Chu, or a scholar.
But there are special cases in everything, and special cases are demands. Only when the emperor personally awards you a title or the monarch wears a long suit and a chicken crown, can you enter the ranks of nobles. Of course, there is no big chance of this. Unlike some people in later generations, who are completely out of the way with the royal family, they shamelessly show off that they are nobles.
In this era, nobles were a representative of real gold content.
Zhao Yongsanxuan: "In order to repay the teacher for his achievements in saving the emperor, he was granted the title of the teacher's fiefdom and his name was Xingjun."
A lord is not a title, but it is not the same as a lord. The lord is actually called a title. For example, Zhao Yong should be called Zhao Hou. It is a kind of honorable title, but in fact, Bo Zinan is noble. Later, in order to balance the Wei State, King Wuling of Zhao was demoted to the next level and called the lord. It can be seen that his value is valuable.
When congratulating such rewards, the ministers and colleagues did not envy, jealousy, and some were full of gloating.
Zhao Xing has a deep understanding of this xenophobic situation. It is inevitable that a wild dog will be rejected by suddenly being squeezed into the dog group. Excluding others is an instinct of animals. It is not surprising.
Zhao Yong Sixuan: "In order to make the teacher always give me a gift to Heyang Palace and surrender Heyang Garden to the residence of the capital of the country."
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. When he arrived in March of the Warring States Period, he finally had a place and could not sleep on the streets at night.
However, this really attracted the attention of the ministers and officials, not the other things, but the Heyang Palace was the residence of the former crown prince and was rewarded to Zhao Xing, which shows that the king relied on this teacher - this strange guy, everyone should be careful. This is the consensus of the ministers and officials.
Finally, Zhao Yong stopped: "Please return to his seat."
Zhao Xing's seat was under Feiyi on the left hand, and an empty mat had already been prepared there. Zhao Xing followed the others and knelt on the mat.
The mat was thick and soft. I don’t know what was filled in the era without cotton. But no matter how thick and soft it was, Zhao Xing still felt pain. This is why the remains of ancient people before the Han Dynasty were unearthed, with both knees disabled.
Fortunately, the pain soon disappeared. It was not that Zhao Xing quickly got used to this way of sitting, but because his legs were numb.
Zhao Xing's affairs were over, and everyone began to discuss state affairs. Of course, the first thing we are talking about now is national funeral.
When Zhao Suhou was alive, he had already built Fengqiu for himself. Zhao Suhou called the Mausoleum and Shouling. This was the rule that began with him, and this rule continued until Mr. Zhongshan was abolished.
The ancients attached great importance to death. Happy events could be made careless, but funerals should not be careless. The most powerful Queen Mother Zhao, the king of Zhao, helped the ministers and eunuchs, solemnly discussed how to make the funeral of the murdered person, and how to recognize the nostalgia and grief of the murderer for the murdered person.
This made Zhao Xing feel that he was unspeakable.
Zhao Xing was not interested in the endless red tape, and of course, he didn't understand at all. In Zhao Xing's opinion, if a person dies, he will be dragged out and buried. Isn't it over? The important business of a living person is important.
But he couldn't and dared not object. If he dared to speak out and drag it out and buried it, it wouldn't be the dead man, and Zhao Xing would die.
If you don’t understand, you have to pretend to understand. If you pretend to know, you have to pretend to be unfathomable. The best way to pretend to be unfathomable is to shut up and shake your head.
