Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

"The widow should be temperate one or two in the future."

Qing Ji made such a promise to Queen Ji Kui.

His face is not red, he is not out of breath, he is clearly lying!

Regarding Uzen Nagahai's body fragrance, Qingji has always been suspicious.

Smelling it makes people feel refreshed, just like taking drugs, but Qingji doesn't feel any discomfort...

What exactly happened, Qing Ji didn't know.

However, sex is a bone-scraping knife, Qingji should restrain himself.

After some tenderness, Ji Kou picked up the soup again, fed Qingji a spoonful, and said thoughtfully: "My lord, Heng'er is twenty years old, and he should be crowned. The concubines have already chosen On an auspicious day, please ask the king to preside over the crowning ceremony for Heng'er."

"good."

Qingji knew that this was an essential thing.

In this era, both men and women have to grow long hair, and when they reach a certain age, a ceremony of "adult ceremony" will be held for them.

The men's crowning ceremony is to put their hair into a bun, which is called "knotting hair", and then put on a hat.

Generally speaking, for example, the princes who are celebrating Jiji will be crowned in the ancestral temple when they reach their twenties.

The crowning ceremony is presided over by Qingji, and the designated VIPs crown the young people performing the crowning ceremony three times, representing the power to govern people, serve the country, and participate in sacrifices.

After being crowned, the honored guest will read a congratulatory speech to the winner, and bestow a beautiful "word" comparable to the virtue of a gentleman, making him a respected nobleman...

Wu Heng is the crown prince of the Wu Kingdom, with a very high status, so the coronation ceremony is naturally grand.

No wonder Ji Kou is so caring!
At this moment, Ji Kou took a peek at Qingji again, saw the latter's amiable appearance, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it or not?"

"But it doesn't matter."

"Your Majesty, Heng'er has come of age. She should marry into the royal family and become the concubine of the Great Wu. I have searched for concubines, and among them, Zhao Jun's daughter, Ji Ying, has a good character, excellent talent and good looks. She is really a good match for Heng'er..."

Hearing this, Qingji glanced at Ji Kou lightly, but didn't speak.

This made Ji Kou couldn't help but thump in his heart, feeling a bad premonition.

Based on what she knew about Qingji, this matter most likely aroused Qingji's disgust.

As the saying goes, family affairs, state affairs, and world affairs.

The marriage of Prince Heng belongs to the family affairs of Wu Wang Qingji, and it is also the state affairs of Wu State, so there is no room for carelessness.

Qingji didn't blame Ji Kou for being good at interfering in this matter, but he always felt that there was something tricky about it...

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation!
Qing Ji, who has been in the top position for a long time and plays tricks, has already developed an extraordinary political sense.

"Wu Heng's marriage, let's talk about it."

Qingji is not in a hurry to choose a wife for Prince Heng.

……

Ten days later, Qingji held a grand crowning ceremony for Prince Heng in the palace.

The people who came to watch the ceremony were all the ministers and officials of the state of Wu, the famous ministers and generals in the world.

Even celebrities from some northern countries came here for their fame.

If there is no accident, Prince Heng will inherit Qingji's throne and become the king of Wu in the future. Why don't they want to make friends with Prince Heng?
Holding the coronation ceremony is very particular and cautious.

In the ten days before the crown, the prince Heng must first divination auspicious days, if there is no auspicious day within ten days, he will choose the auspicious day in the next ten days, and then inform relatives and friends of the auspicious day.

And three days before the crowning ceremony, a divination method is used to select the guest who will preside over the crowning ceremony, and a person who "praises the crown" is selected to assist in the crowning ceremony.

This time at the coronation ceremony of Prince Heng, Dazai Jiran was the guest of honor, and Zhi Su Neishi once praised him for the crown.

When Prince Heng was saluting, Qingji sat in front of Prince Heng wearing a crown and a flat crown.

On the high platform, Ji Ran and Zeng Dian were both wearing quaint black dresses, standing to the side with serious expressions.

Prince Heng knelt down towards Qingji.

Zeng Dian first took the black cloth crown on the tray and put it on for Prince Heng.

Ji Ran on one side said in a loud voice: "On the auspicious day of the lunar month, I will start to add Yuanfu, abandon Eryou's small characters, and follow Er Chengde. Shoukao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu—"

After saying that, Zeng Dian took off the black cloth crown and replaced it with a leather hat for Prince Heng.

Ji Ran followed up and sang: "Auspicious moon, Ling Chen, is Shen Erfu, respects Er's dignity, Shu Shende. My sister will live forever, and I will always be blessed by Hu Fu—"

In the end, Zeng Dian took off the leather bean for Prince Heng and replaced it with a jue bean.

Ji Ran solemnly proclaimed the matter: "The righteousness of the year, the order of the month. Xianjiaer obeys. Brothers are here, so that Juede can be achieved, Huang Lao has no boundaries, and the celebration of heaven—"

The coronation ceremony is here, and it is not over yet.

Prince Heng also needs to meet his mother Ji Kou, and then the guest of honor will choose characters for him. In this era, the characters are usually called "Bo Moufu" (Bo, Zhong, Shu, Ji, depending on the ranking).

If it is an ordinary aristocratic man, the host should send the distinguished guest to the gate of the temple, toast, and at the same time pay with a bundle of silk ribbons (five pieces of silk and two pieces of deerskin), and give a gift of meat.

Those who receive the crown change to wear hats and gowns to visit the emperor, and hold Lizhi (wild pheasant, etc.) to visit the township doctor and so on.

If the father is dead, the recipient of the crown needs to offer sacrifices to the father god, which means that the crown ceremony will be completed in front of the father. After the sacrifice, he will meet his uncle and uncle, and then eat.

Such ceremonies of crowning, taking characters, and meeting the emperor continued from the Zhou Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty until the Jurchen entered the customs and forced the Chinese people to change their customs, and the crown ceremony gradually declined and disappeared.

After the ceremony, looking at the young Prince Heng in front of him, Qingji felt extremely sad.

In the blink of an eye, Qingji has traveled to this era for 20 years!
In the past, he was also a high-spirited young man, but now, although he is not old, he is strong and strong, but he can't help but lament the passing of time, fleeting...

After Prince Heng's coronation ceremony, Qingji summoned Zhao Wuxie and his sister Ji Ying in Zide Hall.

The two are Zhao Yang's children, Zhao Wuxie is a hostage in the Wu Kingdom, and Princess Ji Ying's intention to come is unclear.

"Zhao Wuxie (Ji Ying) see Wu Wang, Wu Wang Wannian!"

After Zhao Wuxie and Ji Ying saw Qingji, they bowed to him with neither humble nor overbearing, and called him "King Wu".

Qingji is the Marquis of Wu canonized by Emperor Zhou, and he is the king in the country, so there is no need for the two of them to call Qingji "Wu Wang", but how can they not praise Qingji when they are living under the fence?

"No need to be polite. Sit down."

"Thank you King Wu!"

After getting Qingji's permission, Zhao Wuxie and Ji Ying slowly took their seats.

Different from the scrupulous Zhao Guo siblings, Qingji began to look down upon the two of them.

Zhao Wuxie, that is, Zhao Xiangzi in history, is still a childish young man.

He is the daughter of Zhao Yang and Di Ren, and belongs to the common son.

Judging from his appearance, Zhao Wuxie has a wide forehead, a big mouth, and deep-set eye sockets. Some of the characteristics of Westerners do not conform to the aesthetics of people in this era. No wonder he was scolded by Zhi Boyao as "ugly"...

As Zhao Yang's daughter, Ji Ying, who is of noble blood, is naturally beautiful.
