Chapter 41 The two generations of princes on the night of the sixth crown ceremony

In the mid-autumn season, an imperial edict came to Xinzhuang suddenly, and the whole family immediately got busy. The imperial edict said: On the day of the autumnal equinox, the young master and a different person performed a crowning ceremony in the Taimiao Temple, and one should first salute to Lu's mansion.The edict was issued and read by the elder Shi Huanli in person.The recipients of the imperial edict appointed the young master Ying Yiren and the righteous businessman Lu Buwei.After the edict was read out, Elder Chang Shi exchanged some greetings, leaving behind a group of ceremonial officials from Taimiao and went.That night, Lu Buwei discussed with Mr. Ximen and Chen Xuanmohu about the arrangement of manor houses.The four of them are capable directors, and after talking for a while, the arrangement was settled: Lu Buwei only took care of the son's three-day bathing and fasting ceremony, the diet and daily life of the etiquette officials of the Taimiao were handled by the deacons of the old Ximen Daiyuan trading company, and all the servants and affairs of the village were done. Hand in Chen Xuan Mohu.

After the discussion, he was about to leave, but the boss Mohu muttered unhappily: "Today's edict refers to Mr. as a 'Yi Shang', which is so strange! People say that the king's heart is unpredictable, and the old King of Qin really didn't even like the black mastiff. It’s not as good.” Lu Buwei couldn’t help laughing: “Mohu can listen to the imperial edict, good! Daddy Ximen, what do you think about today’s events?” Old Ximen thought, “I think it’s strange that today’s events don’t match the facts, but follow the facts Thinking about it, the situation is still very good." "The situation is very good? Tell me." Lu Buwei was very interested.Old Ximen said with a smile: "According to the usual rules, my village is still a residential house, even if a scribe sent by Xianyang Neishifu to pass the order, it can be regarded as the courtesy of the people of the country. It is an exception to send an internal servant to issue the imperial edict. The person who issued the edict today is the elder Chang Shi who seldom comes forward. I heard that this person is the most trusted minister with real power in the old Qin King's old age. The most important thing is, The young master will not return to the Crown Prince's Mansion before the coronation ceremony, but will stay in my village and Dong Gong will preside over the ceremony. The officials of the Taimiao are just handling affairs. The old man can't see through the intentions here, but from the truth, the old King of Qin is a royal minister to Dong Gong The courteous treatment. The two words of righteousness and business are the truth if they are based on the law. After all, Dong Gong has not yet become a minister. I am presumptuous, Dong Gong has clearly observed." The old Ximen, who has always been taciturn, finished his unprecedented long speech, and his forehead was wet. sweat.

"Well said! Daddy is very knowledgeable!" Lu Buwei admired the case and then smiled, "Mohu's complaint, but I have to warn a few words: I must warn the people in the village to not discuss state affairs in private in the future. Don’t complain about the monarch, just tell me if you have something to say. Remember, this is Qin, not the six kingdoms of Shandong.” Mo Hu blushed and bowed solemnly: “Mr. Nodding: "Yes, yes, tomorrow I will set this rule for the deacons and servants." The next day, Lu Buwei Xinzhuang began to be busy before the coronation ceremony. In ancient times, various tribes in China had various forms of "Cheng Ding Ceremony".In fact, when a man or woman has grown to a certain age and has a normal body and learned basic survival skills, the clan recognizes the man or woman as an official member of the clan with specific etiquette, which is called an "adult".Entering the Western Zhou Dynasty, when the etiquette system was developed, Cheng Ding Li became the most important ceremony in the world - Shiguan Li.At that time, the so-called scholars were all men and women who enjoyed the qualifications of Chinese citizens.The Shiguan ceremony is the etiquette for crowning men and women who have grown up, so as to identify their adult status.Because it involves every living being in the world, it is regarded as the first ritual in the world.From the Spring and Autumn period to the Warring States period, the etiquette was greatly simplified, and there were many differences among countries. However, the ceremonies for the crowning of scholars generally followed the ancient traditions, but the degree of complexity was different due to the different identities of the crowned people.Ying Yiren is a descendant of the royal family, and he is also the confirmed son of the crown prince. Although he is over thirty years old, he has not given the big ceremony because of the youth as a hostage (the Qin people add the crown at the age of 21), so this supplementary ceremony of the crown prince becomes The first etiquette for the Qin royal family to officially recognize their identity is naturally extraordinarily solemn.

In essence, the scholar crown ceremony is not a family ceremony, but a public ceremony.The public refers to the township, commune, village, clan, state, and state.In other words, Shi Guan Li is an etiquette for the group to recognize individuals, not an etiquette for parents to recognize their children.However, the crowning ceremony is neither initiated nor presided over by the parents. The parents are the same parties in the crowning ceremony as the crowned person; the crowning ceremony is performed by virtuous village elders, patriarchs, and even the king or A specific minister motions to preside.

The Shi Guan Ceremony is a solemn adult etiquette, and its handling process is also very particular.The Shi Guan ceremony is divided into two stages, the first stage is the advance ceremony, and the second stage is the formal ceremony.The pre-ceremony is to make preparations according to the procedures stipulated by the etiquette before the official crowning. The main steps are: Divination Day: The date of the crown ceremony is determined by divination. Divination guest: Divination among the guests participating in the ceremony determines that one person is the official guest. Appointment period: Agreed on the specific time when the crowning ceremony will start.

Preceptor: Invite the official guest and all the honorable guests. Set washing: the crowned person takes a shower before the ceremony and a special grooming on the day. The second stage is Zhengli, which is the etiquette procedure on the day of coronation. The complete sequence is ten items: Chen Fuqi: In the early morning, the ritual utensils, sacrifices and corresponding clothing will be displayed. Welcome the praisers to enter the temple: the parents of the crowned guests welcome the guests into the family temple. Three crowns: Cloth crowns are added at the beginning, which means that the crown has the ability to eat and drink; two leather crowns, leather crowns are also called martial arts crowns, meaning that the crowns have basic martial arts skills; three crowns are added, and the crowns are also called Wenguan, which means crowns. Basically have the ability to know books and achieve rituals; the ritual meaning of three crowns in succession is to encourage the crowned ones to continue to forge ahead from humbleness to dignity.

The winner of the crown with wine: the honorable guest congratulates the crowned winner with wine. The crowned person sees his mother: the crowned person formally pays respects to the mother whose etiquette is determined, not necessarily the biological mother. Bingci Biaozi: Zhengbin is a title given to the person who crowns the crown, which is an ordinary appellation other than his real name. This title is called "Biaozi" to distinguish it from the name given by his parents.After crowning, "Biaozi" replaces "Name". Only the parents and monarchs can call their real names.It is said that "the crown is the word, and the name is also respected!" This formula has been rare in the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, Qin Dynasty and Western Han Dynasty, the world was turbulent. Many people live under their real names.For example, it is very rare for Su Qin to inherit Zhou rituals because he was from Luoyang, and to take the word "Jizi" when he was crowned.At the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the respect for Confucianism among the gentry and nobles gradually became more and more popular.This is something.

See family members: The crowned person formally greets all family members, old and young, as an adult. Meet the elders: The crowned person formally pays respects to the old patriarch or the monarch as an adult. Libin: The host's house invites the guests attending the ceremony. Sending guests back to Zu: After seeing off the guests, take out the dried meat of the three animals from the sacrificial vessel (Zu) and divide them into several portions according to the number of guests. In the home of all the guests, the etiquette is to make all the guests share the kindness bestowed by God with the crowned one.So far, the crown ceremony is completed.

In addition to the two major etiquette procedures, there is another extremely important part to be familiarized with during the pre-ritual stage, that is, the legal etiquette and action procedures of each link.All those who participate in the crown ceremony must be familiar with these etiquette in advance, and be familiar with all the action programs related to themselves, so that when it is their turn to participate in the ceremony, their words and deeds are accurate and ceremonial.For example, the most important ceremony of the "three additions": the first time a cloth crown is added, the person who confers the crown must hold the crown with his right hand and the front of the crown with his left hand, holding the crown with both hands and chanting: "It's an auspicious day, and the clothes will be added! Er Youzhi, Shuner Chengde! Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu!" The second time the leather crown is added, after the recipient removes the black cloth crown and combs his hair again, the crown giver holds the crown with the same action as before Chanting: "Auspicious moon and chen, it is Shen Erfu! Respect your majesty, Shu Shende! My eyebrows will live forever, and I will receive Hu Fu forever!" For the third time, the crown symbolizing literary affairs is added, and the person who confers the crown must be high Recite: "With the righteousness of the year, with the order of the month, Xianjia will serve you! Brothers are all present, so that you can become Jude! The yellow scorpion is boundless, and you will be celebrated by the sky!" When the guest of honor gives wine to the crowned person, he must recite: "Sweets and sweets are thick, and you can recommend them! Worship and accept sacrifices to determine your auspiciousness! The rest of the heavens, the life test will not be forgotten!" Prepare, let the moon be auspicious, let me tell you the word! The word is Kong Jia, and you are a good scholar! It is suitable for Gu, and it will be protected forever, and it is called Bo Moufu!" And so on. Rituals, and those who are involved in crowning are ridiculed for life, so those who perform ceremonies must be virtuous people who are proficient in etiquette.The fame of Confucius in the Spring and Autumn Period was largely due to his mastery of various tedious ancient rituals.Although the etiquette was greatly simplified in the Warring States Period, the special etiquette of special people should not be hasty.

This is exactly the case with Ying Yiren's taxi crown ceremony. Lu Buwei didn't know about King Qin Zhao's coronation edict beforehand, and it was not easy to prepare all kinds of pre-ceremony affairs within ten days, even if he was familiar with the ancient rituals of the Taimiao Order, let alone Lu Buwei, a businessman!However, Lu Buwei obeyed the imperial edict without any embarrassment.To be honest, Lu Buwei was originally a rare talent in dealing with difficult affairs. He has never made a mistake in scheduling during his more than 20 years of business career.The old deacons of the business company headed by the old boss Ximen are all expert directors. Chen Xuanmohu is also a talented woman in the female middle school who has gone through many vicissitudes. But it can't help this group of talented people.Once the general plan was agreed upon, all parties figured out the rules and arranged them in an orderly manner. Within ten days, everything was in place without any mistakes. Even the Taimiao who came to help surprised a group of subordinates!

On the day of the autumnal equinox, the morning is exceptionally clear, with a round of bright red and warm sun hanging in the deep blue sky, it really is a refreshing autumn.At the first moment of Maoshi, a group of knights and officials guarded a bronze cart and walked out of the north gate of Xinluzhuang, stepped on the long white stone bridge across the Wei River, and entered the south gate of Xianyang at a leisurely pace. Going north on the street, I finally entered the Taimiao, the deepest part of the royal city. Wangcheng is in the north of the center of Great Xianyang.Behind the north city wall of Wangcheng is a royal garden of hundreds of acres, and the north of the garden is the real north city wall of Xianyang.Three miles away from the north gate, a forested highland suddenly rises. This is the world-famous Xianyang Beiban.Taimiao is located at the highest point of the garden at the northern end of Wangcheng, surrounded by pines and cypresses that are evergreen all year round. The short cornices of the Qin-style palace protrude obliquely from the vast green. From a distance, it looks like the sky city tower standing majestically against the Beiban Highland.Although there is only one main hall in this imperial temple, it is not like the layers of palaces, but the overall layout is grand, simple, profound and solemn, and anyone who comes here will feel a sense of awe. After passing through the palace area of ​​the royal city and entering the garden of Cangcang, one hundred steps ahead, there is a forbidden gate formed by two huge black stone pillars.Inside the gate is the Taimiao Forbidden Garden, and no one is allowed to enter unless he obeys the imperial edict.A hundred steps into the forbidden gate, there is a ten-foot-wide loess avenue between the green pines and cypresses and the three-foot-high stone carvings of turtles, dragons, lins and phoenixes. Big copper characters.After entering the stone workshop and entering the courtyard three times through the steps, you will find the main hall of the Taimiao towering majestically above the thirty-six steps. When the chariots and horses enter the loess avenue that has been sprinkled with water and dust, you can see a crown belt standing under the stone square in the distance.Ying Yiren on the bronze chariot asked in a low voice: "Who is in the front? I don't know one." Lu Buwei, who was walking beside the chariot, said in a low voice: "The first is the son's father, An Guojun, and the four behind him are from east to west. Gang Chengjun, Siche Shuchang, Taimiaoling, Taishiling, and others are all members of the Prince's House. You just remember your father." Ying Yiren has good eyesight, and he saw from a distance that the leader wearing the crown is fat, bloated, and has beard and hair Hua Bai, who was completely different from his father when he left Qin Dynasty when he was young, suddenly felt a burst of sadness in his heart! At noon, the "three plus" ceremony is completed.The elder Si Che who was waiting to preside over the crowning ceremony gave Ying Yiren the name "Zi Chu", and there was a round of cheers in the Taimiao.Lu Buwei understood in his heart that this expression is just a flexible method.According to etiquette, Biaozi is the manifestation of the meaning of the original name and cannot be unrelated to the original name.And "Zi Chu" and "foreigner" just have nothing to do with each other.This is what he negotiated in advance through An Guojun Yingzhu and Lao Siche's concubine, in order to make the name changed by Yiren in Handan a legitimate basis, so that Mrs. Huayang will not say that Ying Yiren is prevaricating her . The words on the table were confirmed, and Ying Yiren drank the congratulatory wine from the Taimiao order as the official guest, and solemnly worshiped the ancestors' gods. "Seeing the mother" was originally a simple crown ceremony for the common people, because the ceremonial place is in the family temple or clan temple. Go out of the east wall of the hall and enter the mother's house to pay respects, offer dried meat, and the mother accepts the sacrifice;However, for a prince like Ying Yiren, the coronation ceremony is held in the Taimiao and the woman does not enter the Taimiao, so it is natural to go back to the house to see her mother. The horses and horses drove into the square in front of the mansion and came to a stop. The master of ceremonies of the Taimiao Temple, who had already stood up and waited outside the entrance hall, chanted loudly: "The crowned son Chu returned to the mansion to see his mother—!" The subordinates of the Taimiao ordered them to get out of the car as the crown praisers, and entered the mansion solemnly under the guidance of the crown praisers.Prince Yingzhu, as the host, invited Siche Shuzhang, Taimiao Ling and Lu Buwei to enter the main hall to drink tea and rest. Mrs. Huayang had already made careful preparations, and moved from Gantang Garden to the third East Wing, which was convenient for etiquette.Hearing the sound of horses and horses shouting outside the mansion, Mrs. Hua Yang stood under the big window of the east room early.In a short while, I saw a man walking into the courtyard with a bean on his arm. He was dressed in a khaki-colored Chu suit, with a four-inch black jade crown on his head. Thin, can be called handsome and thick. "This son is better than his father, it's God's will!" Mrs. Hua Yang let out a long sigh, and fell limp on the thick carpet. "Zi Chu, the crowned one, pay homage to his mother!" Taimiao praised the crown official and chanted loudly. Mrs. Huayang straightened her headdress and jade pendant, and with the help of the maid, she stepped across the threshold to the porch, and bowed gracefully to Ying Yiren who was kneeling in the courtyard below the stairs, bowing her head and holding the bean and meat in both hands. After bowing, he recited softly in his mouth: "Xianjiaer is obedient, my son is an adult. The son respects the mother now, and the mother is blessed with the son." After saying, he took the beans from the top of Ying Yiren's head with both hands, and patted Ying Yiren's shoulder lightly. Chu Yu smiled softly, "Zi Chu, it's hard for you. My mother talked to you in the evening, and my brothers and sisters also came to see the ceremony later, do you know?" Ying Yiren kowtowed and got up in awe, and recited: "The celebration of Chengtian, Zi Chu crowned! From now on, I will be filial and fraternal! I will send my mother off!" Then she bowed her head and said in a low voice, "Zi Chu understands, thank you mother." Mrs. Huayang smiled slightly, bowed upright and reserved twice, He whispered kindly: "Beware of the cold, the autumn wind is cold." Then he was supported by the maid and turned around and went into the hall. "Madam, please, see the mother's ceremony-!" Xia worshipers, husbands and wives worship women twice.Zhou Li: When a woman bows to her husband, the woman bows twice, and the husband pays back once. This is called chivalrous worship.In the Shiguan ceremony, the mother salutes the crowned son with a heroic salute, which means that the mother treats the crowned adult son with the same etiquette as a husband.After seeing the mother, the crown ceremony chariots and horses rumbled into the palace to carry out the most important item of this ceremony - meeting the elders. Looking at the palace from a distance, it is as usual today, but when the chariots and horses filed into the majestic stone gate of the palace city, they immediately discovered the abnormality in the square of chariots and horses and the main hall area: two teams of axes and ax guards were neatly arranged, a red carpet six feet wide and six inches thick The thirty-six blue jade steps leading to the main hall are brilliant under the autumn sunset; what is even more astonishing is that the two big tripods on the platform at the entrance of the hall ignited a thick column of smoke, which can be seen from a distance in the chariot and horse field. , It seems that the purple smoke is curling up like a palace in the sky!For a moment, not only Ying Yi was astonished, but even the prince Ying Zhu and Si Che Shuzhang who often came and went to the palace were also greatly surprised.According to the law and etiquette, the big tripod in front of the main hall cannot hold incense except for court meetings and grand ceremonies.Today, apart from the crown prince's son-in-law winning the crown, there is no ceremonial ceremony in the middle school, and this big tripod holding incense and the red felt has a special kind of solemnity. "The champion wins an audience with other people! The guests who praise the crown will accompany you to the hall—" While everyone was in astonishment, three long shouts echoed from the hall to the high-level platform and then to the steps of the hall. The entire square of chariots and horses was covered by the well-trained shrill voices of the servants.Following the sound, a young servant led Ying Yiren and others onto the red carpet, and at the end of the high steps, the gray-haired waiter just reached the entrance of the platform, and silently led the participants into the hall.At this moment, Lu Buwei's heart beat suddenly!It is possible for the old Qin king to summon strangers on the day of his coronation, which was expected by Lu Buwei; Being paralyzed by wind, he has not held any ceremonies in the main hall for many years, but today he is able to sit in the hall in person on the day when the king and grandson are crowned. He even thought that the old king of Qin would not summon him before his death, and that he would not be able to meet the king of thunder and lightning who caused the six kingdoms of Shandong to suffer devastating catastrophes for the rest of his life, but he never imagined that he would meet as a guest in the main hall of Xianyang Old King Qin... "Anybody else? Come here, Father, take a look!" Just as they entered the main hall, before everyone bowed in their respective identities in the crown ceremony, old hoarse laughter rang out in the hall, and all the etiquette was overwhelmed by this sudden randomness. Annihilated.The Taimiao Ling and Siche Shuchang made eye contact, and they sat down to Ying Zhu Lu Buwei and waited. "Father!" Ying Yiren choked up with a sob, and strode up to the throne. "It's okay." Qin Zhaowang squinted his old eyes under his white eyebrows to look at the solemn and respectful grandson, and couldn't help sighing, "It's hard for a man to suffer! It's hard for me to be a hostage for more than 20 years!" "Father was hostile to Yan back then, and he escaped death in the chaos of war! It's a small suffering for a different person, so I dare not call it suffering!" "There is no war, so it may not be a little suffering!" King Qin Zhao sighed, "The eldest father was a hostage back then, and his mother still took care of him. The grandson was alone as a young man, living like a prisoner in a foreign country with a strong enemy, no news from the country, no family. Family affection, lack of food and clothing, and no way to escape, even the common people are also suffering, let alone the prince and grandson!" "Father..." Ying Yiren fell to the ground and bowed down, crying bitterly. The hall was silent and choked with sobs. Seeing King Qin Zhao's long snow-white eyebrows raised, his heart skipped a beat!I'm afraid that Ying Yiren's sudden impulsiveness will ruin things.In the midst of anxiety, King Qin Zhao let out a long sigh and smiled kindly: "Oranger, raise your head, take a seat in this room, wipe away your tears, and listen to some old words from Dafu." Ying Yiren cried Li Zhi knelt down solemnly and sat down in the long case at the lower right of the throne, and the old and peaceful voice of King Qin Zhao echoed in the hall. You should engrave the words of the Confucian master Mencius in your heart, and treat the sufferings of the past as Tianmosi people. Don't chew on the tortures you have suffered, and unexpectedly develop a cynical heart. If this is the case, the Ying family is unfortunate, and the family and the country Unfortunately too!" "Grandfather taught, grandson will never forget!" "Okay! Go back and sort out your quality notes calmly. Father wants to teach people to read and listen!" "Keep it in mind, my grandson! While reading, sort it out, write it into a scroll and submit it to my father for approval!" King Qin Zhao nodded, and looked at the palace: "Is Mr. Buwei here?" Lu Buwei stood up from the big case in the last row and bowed solemnly: "Lu Buwei, a merchant from Puyang, is meeting the King of Qin!" "Sir, honorable guest, forgive me for being disabled and unable to reciprocate the courtesy, please come and sit down and talk." Immediately, a servant led Lu Buwei to the long case on the lower left of Wangtai, where he was facing Ying Yiren six feet to the left of King Qin Zhao.Lu Buwei took his seat and raised his head and bowed his hands in salute, just meeting the gaze of the old King Qin, he suddenly felt a peaceful and chilling deep gaze enveloping his mind, and his heart, which had always been calm, was shocked! "Sir, you have made great contributions to the Ying family, and I dare not thank you." "Buwei met the young master unexpectedly. A little help is also a selfish attempt to do business with Qin. I dare not take credit for it." "Mr. is honest and true, and the style of a gentleman!" Qin Zhaowang sighed, "Because of the stranger, Mr. has been delayed in business travel for many years, so why not just be an official in Qin?" "I am ashamed and dare not be ashamed." "Mr. is too modest. How about starting from a small official?" "But to be able to do things, my heart is enough!" "Xuanzhao." Qin Zhaowang smiled faintly, and then narrowed his eyes like a doze. The elder Shi Huanli, who was sitting on the left back side of the king's case, stood up, opened a scroll and read: "The King of Qin ordered: Lu Buwei, a righteous businessman, has made great contributions to the royal family of Qin. State affairs, titles to be determined." "Yiren thanked Father!" Ying Yiren was so excited that he couldn't help being stunned when he saw the silence in the hall after saying thanks.At this moment, King Qin Zhao opened his old eyes and smiled: "Sir, you didn't accept the imperial edict, but did you say something?" It is because of the strict laws and regulations of the State of Qin, and the integrity of business affairs is higher than that of Shandong. But this is the case, and I am willing to serve in Qin State after the delay in business affairs. However, Qin is a country ruled by law, and the official title is based on merit. According to the laws of the State of Qin: Do not help the prince , only a little credit to the Anguo Monarch's Mansion, not to the state, and should not be bestowed as a high-ranking official. I don't fear high positions, but I don't think that the position is not due to merit, so I dare not obey the imperial edict, Qin Wang clearly observes!" Qin Qin King Zhao tapped the book case with his skinny fingers and smiled leisurely: "What you said is also reasonable. However, you also think that you have contributed to the Prince's House, so how about being the right prince Fu?" Lu Buwei still bowed solemnly: "Prince Fu is a minister of the country, not a minister. The prince's mansion is an official, and I dare not obey the imperial edict." "Sir, how crazy you are!" Ying Yi's heart beat violently, and beads of sweat began to ooze from his forehead.Although he has been away from the Qin Kingdom for a long time, he also knows the stern and stern murder of his elder father. Lu Buwei resigned twice and dismissed his elder father plausibly.No, I want to talk!In the name of "Teaching Mr. Hope", he will take over Prince Fu for him! "Frank and straightforward, sir has the style of Qin people!" At this moment, King Qin Zhao laughed out loud, "Mr. then said, how should I reward you?" "I would like to start from doing things, practice Qin law, and occupy a high position in order to make achievements in the future." "Okay! Sir, you are a man!" Qin Zhaowang slammed the case, "This king's decree: Lu Buwei is the prince's mansion, and the salary is paid by the royal treasury. Scatter..." Without stopping, he fell down on the table, and a pair of long white eyebrows suddenly pulled It became a long and thin gap, and the heavy snoring sound followed in the hall. A group of people got out of the palace, and it was already dark.According to the ceremony of the scholar's crown, the next step is the last guest.But when Crown Prince Yingzhu invited him with a gift, Gang Chengjun Cai Ze laughed with a duck voice: "An Guojun, my stomach has already been flattened! The crown ceremony can be changed, and everyone should go home and have a meal." Actually, Li Bin will be spared, and the Zu meat will be delivered later!" Several ministers agreed with each other, and Ying Zhu and his son felt embarrassed.Seeing this, Lu Buwei came over, cupped his hands and smiled, "Buwei has just been ordered to be the prince's mansion, so let me do what you want?" Ying Zhu suddenly nodded with relief: "Yes! I was confused, and I just let the master deal with it!" Lu Buwei turned around and said with a smile: "My lords, after working hard for a day, only dried meat is the crown gift, and they have to pay attention to all kinds of etiquette, how can it be true? When the adults go back to the house to rest and eat, Buwei personally respects the meat. Deliver it to your door." Cai Ze teased and said with a teasing smile: "Okay, Lu Buwei, the prince's mansion, is doing well. Farewell!" Turning around, he boarded the car and left.The elder Si Che glared at Cai Ze with a sullen face, turned his head and cupped his hands and said, "Today's visit to officials in the hall was beyond my expectation. Mr. Wang told you the truth, why don't you become the prince of Shangqing?" "The elders think that the words of Lu Buwei's palace are false?" "Mr. Xu is self-aware. The old man just feels that he has been wronged." "Forgive me, old man." Lu Buwei bowed his hands in awe, "I am determined to enter Qin, so I have to establish a solid foundation in Qin. Buwei is willing to imitate the demeanor of gaining a title by meritorious deeds, and does not want to win an official by others. In addition No other intention!" "Okay! Be a native of Qin! My heart is at ease!" The old Si Che and his concubine exclaimed loudly, then turned around and patted Ying Yiren on the shoulder, "Zi Chu, the boy has a life, so I can do it for myself!" Turned around and left. Lu Buwei was about to bid farewell, but Ying Zhu held Lu Buwei's hands and smiled: "Mr. is already a family member, do you have the heart to abandon my father and son and go alone?" Lu Buwei said with a smile: "I have no other intentions, I just want to rule according to the law in three days. "No!" Ying Zhu pressed Lu Buwei's hands and could not argue, "The law can't help but be good. Sir, you should take care of yourself immediately! Let's go, you and I will go home together!" Without any explanation, he pulled Lu Buwei and got on the bronze chariot. The Prince's Mansion was brightly lit and the middle door was wide open. Seeing Ying Yi's carriage and horses coming back, there was a loud chant inside and outside the hall: "Congratulations, son, on your crowning ceremony!" Lu Buwei was carried into the main hall by Ying Zhu and his son. Under the candles, the banquet was ready, Mrs. Huayang was waiting solemnly in the hall with a crown and a jade pendant dress, and when she saw Lu Buwei enter the hall, she came to pay two respects: "Mr. Hastily bowed and bowed: "I have done a little bit of work, why dare to be my wife to thank you? Buwei is already the prince's mansion, and I will wait for my wife's orders in the future!" "How so? The prince's mansion? Don't make any mistakes!" Mrs. Huayang yelled repeatedly , Seeing her husband Ying Zhu's eyes gesturing repeatedly, he turned around and waved his hand loudly, "Everyone in the mansion, please listen to me: don't care what position or official you are, you can only call you Mr. Mr. Fu Cheng in the future! Whoever oversteps the rules will be punished heavily! I don’t know!” The servants and maids inside and outside responded with “Hi!” Madam Huayang then turned around and smiled respectfully, “Mr. please! Congratulations on my son’s coronation today, sir is the guest of honor. Be the first seat." Lu Buwei was about to say goodbye, but when he saw Ying Zhu waving his hands again and again, he smiled helplessly, and Madam Huayang personally led him to the east seat and sat side by side with today's winner, Ying Yiren, while Ying Zhu and Madam Huayang were in the west Accompanied by two hosts. After drinking three wines, Ying Yiren stood up in awe and formally met his parents.Madam Huayang wiped her tears and ordered the maid to bring a copper box, opened it herself and took out a crystal black jade and said with a smile: "Zi Chu, this is the talisman of establishing a legacy engraved by your father and mother on the day of the imperial edict. The left half belongs to you, and the right half will be handed over to the Palace Chief Shi Dian tomorrow." "Mother!" Ying Yiren bowed again on his knees, took the jade talisman with trembling hands, looked at the inscription of his birthday, parents' names and the emblem of the Prince's Mansion on the eagle-shaped jade talisman, tears welled up in his eyes.But for princes and grandchildren, everyone has such and such an identity jade talisman.The difference is that the right talismans of all the concubine jade talismans are kept by the family, and they only need to report and register with the Siche Concubine's Mansion in charge of royal affairs; Only the right talisman of the prince's son must be handed over to the royal family's classics for secret storage, and no one can check it unless he receives the edict.This son-in-law letter is his eternal blood identity, a magic knife that separates his flesh and blood relationship with his biological mother, like a fire mark on a slave's face, which can never be erased. "Zi Chu, don't be stunned. This room is the crown day gift that mother prepared for you. Come and see it!" Ying Yiren suddenly looked up, and then saw Mrs. Huayang standing beside the two big brown boxes behind the case, waving to him, and hurriedly got up and walked over and bowed again: "Zi Chu thanked mother!" Mrs. Huayang said with a smile: " You're so polite, don't you know you're tired? Come here, open it, take off the tarpaulin!" Under the lights, the brocades and satins were dazzling, and Ying Yi was at a loss for what to do.Mrs. Huayang pointed out: "This is eight sets of four-season Chu clothes, including eight sets of Jingshan jade pendants. They are all authentic Chu brocade and Chu crafts. Come, put on the autumn clothes, and teach your father and husband how to judge!" With a glance, the two maids took out the autumn clothes from the box.At the same time, Mrs. Huayang quickly removed the black crown sun dress for Ying Yiren, and the two maids immediately came over and changed Ying Yiren into a khaki gown and a set of crystal and moist jade pendants. Suddenly brightened up. "Good!" Lu Buwei applauded, "Chu Fu Chu Yu, the young master's spirit has greatly increased!" "Sure enough, the spirit is bright! It's not in vain..." Ying Zhu stopped suddenly. Madam Huayang's eyes turned red suddenly and she said: "Sister has a spirit in the sky, she should rest in peace today!" Turning her head, she wiped away tears and smiled again, "Do you know if you know? I can understand clearly that although the Chu clothes are good, they cannot be made into regular clothes. After all, Xianyang belongs to the state of Qin, and my son is from Qin after all. As long as Zichu really has me as a mother in his heart, I will be satisfied." The words were as round as pearls, but tears fell from his eyes like broken threads .Ying Yiren felt sad when he saw it, bowed down and said with emotion: "Zi Chu recognizes his ancestors and returns to his ancestors, and he should respect the laws of heaven and earth and be humane! If you show any disrespect to your mother, heaven and earth will destroy you!" Mrs. Huayang giggled with tears Said: "Okay, okay, it's good if you have the heart, why should you be serious! Come on, my son respects Mr.!" Holding Ying Yiren, he went to Lu Buwei. The family feast didn't end until the middle of the night.Ying Zhu wanted to invite Lu Buwei to the study for a night talk, but Lu Buwei insisted on leaving, saying that he would be back on duty in three days.Ying Zhu said with a smile: "What's the matter? Don't take Fu Cheng seriously, sir. Come here when you have something to do, and rest if you have nothing to do. There are big things to do in the future!" Lu Buwei smiled and said goodbye, boarded the car and went.Ying Zhu came back from the door but was not sleepy at all, and after a few words of advice to Mrs. Huayang, Ying Yiren was called into the study. "Strange man, what do you think of today's big gift? I really want to know as a father." Ying Zhu leaned on the big pillow on the couch, sipped hot tea, looked at his son who was familiar but unfamiliar, and started the journey of more than twenty years. The first conversation between father and son.Ying Yiren was obviously a little cautious, and he thought about it and said: "Yiren really didn't expect the crowning ceremony to be so grand. My father worked hard, and my son never forgets it." Ying Zhu shook his head and smiled: "The crowning ceremony is decided by your eldest father, not by you. Arranged for your father. When you confronted Zhao, you had already crowned him in advance, and there was no need to make up for it later. Your elder father's arrangements are really well-intentioned, can you figure out one or two things?" Ying Yiren thought for a while and finally shook his head. "Qin's disaster is at this time!" Ying Zhu sat up with a long sigh, "Father's heart is to use your coronation gift to show the world, the government and the people: there will be successors to Qin's society! According to the usual rules, the crown prince Before ascending the throne, there is no need to confirm the succession of the prince and grandson early, and there is no need to arrange the coronation ceremony in a big way. The reason why your elder father is like this is all because of the prince..." Ying Zhu choked up, and when he saw his son at a loss, he waved his hand to signal him No need to be nervous, panting for a while and then calmly said, "My father suffers from a congenital illness, so it's hard to say that he will let go one day. You are the real prince of Qin! Do you understand?" "Father!" Ying Yiren couldn't bear the sorrow, and couldn't help but fell on the ground and cried. "Get up." Ying Zhu smiled faintly, "Since Duke Xiao came down, Qin has gone through three generations of powerful monarchs, King Hui, King Wu, and Dafu. Only after your Daddy, there have been many princes but no talents. Your uncle and your father served as princes successively, both were weak and sick, so your uncle died of illness on the way to the mission. Although my father has survived until today, I know in my heart that my time is numbered! , life is in the sky, as a father, I don't hate my short life, I only have one regret in my life!" "Father, what regrets? My son will do his best!" "The regret of my father's life: the sons behind him have no strong talents." "Father understands clearly," Ying Yiren immediately lowered his head in shame, "Son is indeed a talented person, and he is ashamed to establish a lineage." "You are the one who is the truth. However, your nature is still considered peaceful, and you have no surly spirit, so you can keep it." Ying Zhu gasped again, "As a father, I want to tell you that from now on, I will plan two things in advance: one is Look for strong ministers to assist; second, you must leave an outstanding son! Otherwise, after three generations of weakness, Qin will decline." "The choice of a strong minister, what does father think of Lu Buwei?" Ying Yiren's spirit suddenly lifted. "The jade trial period is yet to be seen." Ying Zhu sipped his tea and regained his composure, "Your elder father once ordered the Black Ice Terrace to investigate Lu Buwei carefully, thinking that this person abandoned business to help you, obviously out of conspiracy Entering politics. The Qin State is eager for great talents, but great talents must be upright talents, such as Shang Jun, Zhang Yi, and Fan Ju, the more the better! If you only want high-ranking officials and are not practical, or even though you have small talents, you have no integrity, such as Gan Mao. The general was very powerful for a while, but he caused King Wu to destroy Zhou and die in Luoyang. These people did great harm. Your father is obviously not sure what kind of talent Lu Buwei is. Today, the three seals and two changes in the main hall, you don’t realize the mystery Is it?" "Father is saying that the eldest father is testing Mr.?" "It's difficult to be a king!" Ying Zhu sighed, "You must guard against counterfeiting and inferiority, temples must guard against treachery, thunder and lightning kills, spring rains and autumn winds, laws and powers are judged, and schemes are moral. If one is missing, the country will be destroyed and the temple will be destroyed. It is difficult. It's hard, it's not difficult!" "Father is so clear, how can he destroy his own family?" "Mingche? Did you say that being a father is Mingche?" Ying Zhu laughed loudly, "O stranger, remember: when you are a country, you don't want to be on the sidelines. When you are a father, you can say a few clear words.便是没有当事之志，而宁怀旁观之心也！隔岸观火，纵然说得几句中的之言，又有何用！” 嬴异人低头思忖。嬴柱喘息不语。良久默然中，父子两人谁也没有看谁，眼眶却都是湿漉漉的。绵绵秋雨已经在黎明最黑暗的时刻唰唰落下，城头刁斗点着雄鸡长鸣回旋在茫茫雨雾之中。嬴异人终于站了起来，将父亲背回了甘棠苑，对着始终在灯下等候父亲的母亲深深一躬，便转身大踏步去了。
