My son, Fusu, please abdicate the first emperor!

Chapter 70 Spring Festival
Xiong Qi breathed heavily, "It's useless to be afraid, and it's useless to feel tired. We are in a position that the world can only look up to, and we have to bear the corresponding price."

"You have to think about it, our status and identity cannot be obtained by countless people who have worked hard for more than ten generations."

"Moreover, even if you are tired, even if you are scared, you have to hold on and endure. Don't forget how many people we support and how many powerful people rely on us. When we lose power, do you think they will still treat us like they did before? Are you polite and respectful?"

Xiong Yi shook his head.

"Without power and status, we are nothing. This world is a world of cannibalism. If you don't plot against him, he will plot against you. If you don't plot against him, he will plot against you."

"Just understand." Xiong Qi heaved a long sigh.

"There's one thing I don't understand." Xiong Yi asked suddenly.

"what's up?"

"Is the appointment of Fusu as the crown prince a backup plan left by Brother Qi?"

The whole hall suddenly fell into silence.

From time to time there was a crackling sound in the charcoal basin.

"If I don't have power, what's the point of my life?" Xiong Qi picked up the wine bar and handed it to Xiong Yi.

Yi looked at the turbid wine in Juezhong, without hesitation, drank it all in one gulp.

The wind and snow outside the window were still whistling, making a whimpering sound.

Han Fei shocked the treacherous officials, but most of the loyal officials did not respond to this.They have a clear conscience, what fear do they have?
At this time, Meng Wu invited Liao into the mansion again.

When the two were drinking together, Meng Wu said about Han Fei, "Han Fei's talent is indeed rare. I read his article, which is really thought-provoking. Whether it is a person or doing things, it is very warning. I have ordered me The two sons are going to familiarize themselves with Han Fei's articles, hoping to inspire them."

When Wei Liaozi heard this, he stroked his beard first, and then said with emotion, "This man, Han Fei, is going to die."

The wine in Meng Wu's hand shook out, "Liao——what did you say?"

"He knows that the courtiers are often cunning and changeable when they treat the king. They put their own interests first and disregard the people of the country. It's just that they know the shortcomings of people, but they still tell them all. This will definitely anger the courtiers in the world. ah."

"He must not die well."

Meng Wu was surprised, every word Liao uttered would definitely come true.

"Then is there any way to stop it?"

"Wait for the water in the Yellow River to flow back. How can human nature change? Han Fei has committed public outrage, and no one will be willing to let him go easily. If he wants to survive, he should find a place to live in anonymity."

"But he actually wants to rely on his own strength to save Korea, which is doomed. Why do loyal ministers always encounter incompetent kings, while promising kings often encounter unscrupulous ministers?"

"Well, that's what I've been wondering about. Why things always turn out the other way."

When Meng Wu heard this, he admired Liao even more. "Sir, this is getting closer and closer to the Tao."

The cold winter months are coming to an end and the New Year is coming.

People in the Central Plains are about to welcome the Spring Festival.

The Spring Festival is a relatively ancient festival in the Central Plains.

The Spring Festival originated from the activities of worshiping gods and ancestors at the beginning of the year and the end of the year during the Yin and Shang Dynasties in China.In the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, there was already an annual custom of celebrating the harvest and offering sacrifices to ancestors at the turn of the old and new years. Only then did the embryonic form of the "year" come into being.

After 500 years, "Nian" has become a fixed festival for the people of the Central Plains.

The Qin State, which has always liked to imitate the system of the Zhou Dynasty, although it was brewing and developing in the fringes of the Central Plains, it is the closest to the Zhou Dynasty in terms of writing and customs.

At the end of the Warring States period, the Spring Festival is the day that everyone looks forward to.

Because no one will fight on this day, everything in the world comes to a standstill in the few short days of the Spring Festival.

Everyone put aside the things at hand one after another, set up wine to kill chickens, pigs, dogs, and make bacon.All the delicacies stored in the cellar in autumn have been taken out.Of course, this is a well-off family.

As long as the king does not treat the people harshly, the people in this era can still easily satisfy their food and clothing through self-reliance.

As long as you are willing to farm hard, feed cattle and sheep, and raise guinea pigs.

Life is not a problem.

Even for the poorest families, when it comes to Chinese New Year, the whole family will piece together and cook a bowl of meat porridge with millet and diced meat.Everyone in the family shares a bowl, which is the Chinese New Year.

Food is important, but not the most important.

The Spring Festival at this time is not mainly about family reunions, but all the clan members going to the ancestral temple to worship their ancestors.

As for the aristocratic Spring Festival, there are too many things to pay attention to.

At the time of Confucius, the state of Lu also had the custom of welcoming the spring, commonly known as "Spring Festival" or "La Festival".It was because Confucius did not get the sacrificial meat that the monarch should distribute to the ministers after the Spring Festival, he left Lu and went to Wei in anger, and began to travel around the world.

Well, in Qin State, there are also corresponding customs and etiquette.

Nobles naturally have to distribute food for the New Year to their diners and servants. Each person has a package of meat and a jar of wine, which are all necessary.If the richer families are willing to treat their servants kindly, they will reward their servants with silk cloth.

As for the supreme ruler of the country, the King of Qin will worship the Ancestral Temple of the State of Qin together with the Queen, honor the Queen Mother, and lead all the officials.

All the bloodlines of the Qin clan will also go one by one.

This is the biggest ceremony in spring in the state of Qin - the Spring Sacrifice Ceremony.

Since the twelfth lunar month, the palace has been preparing for such a big event.

Xiyue has been busy preparing for the spring festival in the palace since she married into the Qin Kingdom and became queen.The sacrificial ceremonies in the ancestral temple are important matters, which are handled by Zongzheng.

But in the palace, there are tens of thousands of people up and down.

Lang Wei, servants, apprentices, internal officials, and maidservants all have to be rewarded; not to mention those wives, sons, and princesses.

Yingzheng has a lot of opportunities to deal with, and he still has to find time to study. Where can he find the time to do these things? Naturally, his queen will do it for him.

The queen will make sure that everyone in the palace receives their reward.No one is allowed to skimp, and everyone can get their due bacon, pastries, and old money.

In addition, it is to get rid of the old and welcome the new, and collectively clean the palace from top to bottom.

The queen directs hundreds of people in the harem to manage the palace, which is really tiring and energy-consuming.

And her most beloved son, Fusu, will get a uniform made by his mother on this day, as well as a jade pendant that symbolizes auspiciousness and peace, and some belts.

The queen knew that Fusu didn't need anything, so she wanted to give Fusu the most ordinary things in the world.

What could be happier in the world than wearing clothes made by my mother to participate in the Spring Festival during the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that the twelfth lunar month is coming to an end, the spring festival is approaching.

The queen brought over the hurriedly made clothes and asked Fusu to try them on first, lest there be any inappropriate parts before changing them.

Once the boy starts to grow, the clothes will not fit quickly.

At the sacrificial ceremony, there is a black crown on the body.But the queen sewed it for Fusu, which was Fusu's ordinary clothes in the new year.
