I have lived forever since the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 175 The wedding must be grand
"Where does Dr. Uncle Sun live?"

Chen Luo stood half a step in front of Shusun Tong, and after leaving the area where Miyagi's carriages were prohibited, he arrived at the waiting position of his own carriage within a few steps.

Shu Suntong replied meticulously: "My humble house is in the west of Chang'an City, at the intersection of the fourth vertical street and the third horizontal street, about fifty steps north of the seventh alley."

Now Chang'an City is newly built, and the various streets, whether they are official names or folk names, have not yet been formed.

Therefore, this way of guiding is actually accurate.

Chen Luo: "..."

After a moment of silence, he glanced at the coachman who was also confused in the front row and said, "You understand, Dr. Uncle Sun said it in such detail, just follow this."

Fortunately, someone is responsible for driving, and the navigation is complicated, so I don't have to worry about it.

The carriage started in silence.

Shu Suntong seemed to realize something, and said with some embarrassment: "Yang Xiahou, why don't you go directly to your mansion, and then I will get out of the car and walk back by myself. After talking about things on the way, you will also give me a ride. It is convenient."

"What kind of words does this sound like?" Chen Luo waved his hand, "At worst, Dr. Uncle Sun will show you the way when you reach the west of Chang'an City."

After all, my home is in the east of Chang'an City, and I drove the other party for a certain distance, but in the end, I made the other party walk a few hundred steps more, is that plausible?

After a few polite greetings, Chen Luo said directly: "Dr. Shusun, let's start discussing the establishment of etiquette directly."

"Okay." He nodded, the embarrassment that had just appeared on his face disappeared, and his eyes became serious.

Chen Luo took a deep breath, and summed up the essence from Liu Bang's instructions: "The etiquette of a big man should mainly have the following three aspects.

First, it is simple but not crude.

After all, there are quite a few military... generals in the imperial court. Those people are used to being careless on weekdays. They can't learn too cumbersome etiquette, and they won't be willing to learn it.

But the etiquette we formulated is a manifestation of the majesty of the great man. It is too simple, and the effect presented is rough. It is not a shame for us etiquette makers.

Second, etiquette should have a sense of hierarchy.

When you go to court, you must not mix everyone together, um... Let me give you an example, for example, military generals and civil servants are mixed together, and each other will feel that this etiquette is a kind of contempt for themselves.

If the princes and kings who came to pay tribute walked with the courtiers, and the officials with less than [-] shi and the officials with [-] shi walked together, even if they moved one step at a time, it would be a kind of "disrespect".

Third, the etiquette of the big man is supported by His Majesty after all.

Therefore, the content of the ceremony must make His Majesty feel his power. At least those things such as getting drunk during a banquet, drawing a sword and striking a pillar must be defined as violations of etiquette, and heavy punishments will be required after occurrence. "

The content of his summary should be more condensed and brief, just to make the courtiers calm down and make Liu Bang happy.

As for topics such as "hierarchy and class" that match the etiquette, I will leave it to others and future generations to explain and play. After all, Liu Bang himself has never thought about this stuff.

Shu Suntong next to him was stunned for a moment.

You have already thought about the most core general program, and even the examples are so clear.

Do I need to do complicated things?
Take the disciples to put Zhou Li and Qin Yi inside, at most a little innovation.

This requires a lot of work, but it is not difficult.

I have been a Ph.D. for several years in the Qin Dynasty, and my research on etiquette is quite thorough. In addition, I have fellow students and disciples, but it is not completely innovative...

It is simply a credit that fell from the sky.

It's just that he couldn't figure it out, since Chen Luo had conceived to such an extent, why did he ask himself to come over to help, wouldn't it be nice to take all the credit for it by himself.

After all, Shusuntong didn't know that Chen Luo only had a general plan in mind, and if he was really asked to dig out the details bit by bit to perfect the etiquette of the Han Dynasty, then he would probably be able to bury his head in the classics for a year or so, without using it. Going to do other things.

Shusuntong didn't hide it, and directly raised the question in his heart: "Yang Xiahou, since you have your own opinions, why do you need my help? I don't think I will necessarily do better than you ah."

Chen Luo smiled slightly, and said softly: "Dr. Shusun, do you know two sentences of Confucian sages? One is 'Threesomes, there must be my teacher', and the other is 'Gentlemen make no difference'."

Uncle Sun Tong suddenly realized.

Yang Xiahou is one of the most important figures in the Han Dynasty, and now he has become a doctor of imperial history. How could he really spend a lot of time every day, staying in the study to implement all the rituals one by one, and then find someone to train and show it to His Majesty.

This is where I should play a role.

Hou Qian of Yangxia is kind and friendly, and he is good at fakes, so he is really a gentleman!
"Since Marquis Yangxia trusts me so much, I will definitely not let you down. I will complete the ceremonies as soon as possible, and within a month... hey, don't go forward, turn south, turn south ” Shu Suntong interrupted the conversation when he realized that the carriage was going in the wrong direction.

Seeing that the carriage was back on track, Chen Luo smiled and continued, "Dr. Shusun, don't worry too much. His Majesty has given us two months, so we should keep improving."

In history, it took more than a month for Shusun Tong to make a ritual that satisfied Liu Bang. Now that he has his own program, the speed will only be faster.

However, since there was enough time, Chen Luo didn't want to squeeze the other party too much, so he mentioned excellence, so that the other party would not have too much sense of urgency.

He reminded again leisurely: "By the way, if your Majesty is satisfied with the success of this ceremony, then I am afraid that there will be a suitable candidate for the Taichang position in charge of the ceremony. I will suggest it to the prime minister at that time. "

Then hang a big carrot, I don't believe that Shusun Tong won't move by himself.

as predicted.

Observing the demeanor of the other party when he responded, he seemed to be still calm, but the fingers rubbing back and forth on the carriage cushion had already betrayed him.

"By the way, wedding ceremonies, which are not usually used, have to be designed to be grand and reflect our level. The emperor himself is married first, the royal children are married first, princes and kings are first, marquises are first, and two are married. Officials with more than a thousand stones...the last class is the common people. Of course, you should not incorporate the bad habits of folk marriages into it, it is best to reprimand and prohibit it." Before Shu Suntong got out of the car, Chen Luo added another sentence, ordering said the other party.

Other ceremonies can be simple, but the wedding must be grand for me.

"Ah... I understand." Although Shusuntong felt a little strange, he didn't know why Yang Xiahou suddenly grasped the details of the wedding, but he respectfully agreed.

Leave the west of Chang'an City and return to your own residence.

As soon as Chen Luo arrived at the door, the personal guard brought two volumes of silk books.

"Which two families sent it?" He took the silk book and asked before unfolding it.

Officials with less than [-] shi would usually come to the door in person if they wanted to see him. As for officials with more than [-] shi, they would usually have a Marquis in person.

The guard replied honestly: "The pale yellow volume was sent by someone sent by the King of Chu, and the other volume was sent by someone from outside the city, but that person has your seal, so I will keep it." gone."

Chen Luo's eyes froze, and he unfolded the pale yellow silk scroll first.
