Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Seeing Gong Zixi's mournful appearance, everyone couldn't help feeling sorry for her.

Seeing this, Qingji was speechless.

This guy, Young Master Xi, isn't he just showing off his acting skills?

His relationship with Yan Ying is so deep?
Sincerely?

However, what Qingji can be sure of is that Gong Zixi has won a lot of people's hearts by relying on his actor-level acting skills...

This son has a future!
"Yan Yu, please give me condolences."

After mourning the passing of Yan Ying for a while, Qingji came to his son Yan Yu and said his respects in a slow voice.

"Thank you, King."

At this moment, Yan Yu was wearing hemp and filial piety, and the tears in his eyes were still there, but he was not crying to death like Gong Zixi.

It's not that Yan Yu is not filial enough, but this kind of thing is hard to say.

People who are extremely sad may not be able to cry sometimes.

Yan Ying lived a long life and lived to be 83 years old, before he passed away, it was definitely the end of his life.

When people are in mourning, there is also mourning, so there is no time to mourn, so why is there joy.

But there is a so-called joy and mourning in the vulgar, and it is gratifying that the deceased has both good fortune and longevity.

At the age of eight or ninety, such a funeral for the deceased can be described as happy and mourning.

Children and grandchildren will not be so sad.

In order to win people's hearts, Young Master Xi cried like this, which made Qingji a little at a loss.

However, in this era, at least in Wu State, there is no such thing as "happy mourning".

Therefore, regarding the funeral, as a disciple, how sad and weeping is his own business, and Qingji will not take care of it.

As for the princes of the Wu Kingdom, such as Gong Zihong and Gong Ziheng, all those who were taught by Yan Ying before his death, who respected their teachers and respected their teachers, also tied white belts on their arms to express their condolences.

The princes who were a little more reserved did not cry for Yan Ying like Gongzi Xi.

"Your Majesty, before my father was alive, I asked my ministers to keep the funeral ceremonies simple and to bury them lightly. I also ask Your Majesty for permission not to reward funeral things..."

Hearing this, Qingji sighed and said, "Since it is Yanzi's dying wish, I shall fulfill it."

With Yan Ying's status and huge influence, Qing Ji, as a monarch, rewarded some funeral things, which is indispensable.

Even, Qingji may hold a state funeral specially for Yan Ying.

However, with Yan Ying's personality, how could Qing Ji, who wasted money and money, hold a state funeral for him?
Yan Ying was originally a thrifty person.

Yan Ying believes that frugality is the basic quality of a sage.

Therefore, he has an aversion from the bottom of his heart to those people or behaviors that are rich, arrogant and extravagant...

Yan Ying never accepted gifts, but he refused to accept gifts as big as rewards and housing, as small as carriages, horses and clothes.

Not only that, but Yan Ying often gave his own salary to relatives, friends and Li Shu.

How can such a Yan Ying be disrespected?

"Your Majesty, this is what my father said before he was alive. The memorandum written by my ministers should be presented to the king. My father said that this is his last memorandum. Please consider it carefully."

Yan Yu took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to Qingji.

In front of the mourning hall, Qingji didn't open the playlist to read it right away, but just hid it in his sleeve with his usual expression.

……

After returning to Zide Hall, Qingji opened the last melody presented by Yan Ying——

"...The beasts are ruled by strength, and the strong will overthrow the weak, so they will change their masters. Today, if the group goes to the ceremony, it will be a beast."

"A group of ministers governs by force, the strong will attack the weak, and the day will change the master, and the monarch will be settled? The reason why mortals are more valuable than beasts is because of politeness..."

"Speak widely and have no taboos, but Taiwan's admonitions cannot hit the people of the previous dynasty, so it is nothing more than the law of the previous dynasty, which is to use water to help water..."

"The establishment of road drums makes Lu Yan's secluded knowledge reach above the palace majesty, and the cheap and salty of the mouth and common people reach before the Mian, the people are endless and can't reach, and the scholars can't avenge if they have no grievances."

"This harmony is so smooth, and the heaven and the earth are connected with it, and the Tao is governed peacefully..."

More than a thousand words were eloquent, but it was Yan Ying who gave the most pertinent suggestions based on the current government of Wu.

Yan Ying has been in Wu for ten years, but he is only doing learning and spreading his own theories.

In the past ten years, Yan Ying has been indifferent to Wu's political affairs.

Unexpectedly, at the last moment of his life, Yan Ying could make such a remonstrance to Qingji.

"Ugh!"

Qingji couldn't help but let out a long sigh, feeling quite embarrassed in his heart.

He knew that what Yan Ying said in the performance table was all true.

In fact, Qingji was already planning to carry out reforms based on the current malpractices of the state of Wu, to clean up the administration of officials, but he never found a suitable opportunity.

At the court meeting two days later, Qingji summoned a group of ministers, and all officials with a rank of more than [-] shi in the court must attend the court meeting in Fengtian Hall.

Ordinary court meetings are not so solemn, unless there is an important event to be announced for the celebration of Jiji, and there are important events related to the rise and fall of the country to discuss...

"My king, ten thousand years, ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

More than 200 ministers and officials of the state of Wu, dressed in all black court uniforms, wearing Jinxian crowns, and holding tooth wats, on their respective seats, paid homage to the celebration ceremony on the Majesty's altar, shouting for thousands of years.

"Your highnesses are free of courtesy, and you are flat!"

"Thank you king!"

With a wave of Qingji's big hand, all the ministers took their seats one after another, with solemn expressions on their faces.

Watch the nose with the eyes, watch the mouth with the nose, watch the heart with the mouth, and sit upright.

Sitting high on the Majesty's platform, Qingji looked around for a week, then picked up a memorial, and said slowly: "Second and third sons, today's court meeting is not for anything else, but to discuss politics!"

"What politics? Current politics!"

"What the widow is holding is the last memorial that Yanzi presented to the widow during his lifetime. It can be called a 'legacy'."

"The widow is planning for the country and the country of Wu, and has proposed several policies regarding the current affairs, which the widow deeply agrees with. Therefore, today's court meeting will discuss it with the second and third sons!"

After a pause, Qingji put down the memorial in his hand, squinted his eyes and said: "Yan Zizuo invites you to imitate the ancient world, imitate the countries of the Central Plains, and set up drums outside the palace. , also known as Li Dengwen Drum, named 'Road Drum'."

"Anyone who has a grievance can report it layer by layer and sue layer by layer."

"If the township is not determined, it can be reported to the county. If the county is not determined, it can be reported to the county. If the county is not determined, it can be reported to the widow or the court."

"Second and third sons think, is it possible?"

"This……"

Hearing this, all the ministers of the state of Wu couldn't help whispering to each other.

Dengwen drum can be said to be one of the important ways of direct appeal in ancient times.

As early as the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was a Dengwen Drum, which was called "Lu Drum" at that time.

Later dynasties also had Dengwen drums.

The Tang Dynasty Dengwen Guyue was first set up in the reign of Emperor Gaozong, and Wu Zetian also created the Academy of Envoys.

The Yuan Dynasty also set up Dengwen drums and invited cars to drive.

The importance of Dengwen drums in different periods of history is very different, and there may be additions in the past dynasties, such as inviting a car or bus to write a letter, knocking...
