Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1380 thanks

  No matter how heavy the snow is, it will eventually melt one day.

  It is beautiful when it snows.

  It is ugly when it melts snow.

  Nature seems to be using this method to tell the human parasitic on him that it can give beauty or ugliness.

   Fei Qian stood under the altar, sitting upright, not looking at Lu Bu Chen Gong and others.

The three-story altar is based on earth and wood, with white stones as the fence, and flags are planted around it. It is not built too high, at most five or six meters high, but it is enough to command the audience on the ground. Feeling oppressed.

  Life must have a sense of ritual, and the political workplace is the same.

When an official arrives, does he come by himself, or is sent by someone from a superior department, or is sent by a special person organized by a relevant department, or is a special meeting held to announce it publicly in front of all the staff, etc. The meaning behind each is completely different, and the meanings represented are also different.

  Xun Chen, acting as the ceremony officer, stood in front of the steps of the altar, drummers and musicians sat around the altar, the bells and drums had been visited, and the guards stood at the four corners, holding axes and long halberds.

  The second quarter of the day and the second hour.

  The clerk in charge of keeping time watched nervously as the floating arrow in the clepsydra slowly pointed to the predetermined scale, and quickly grabbed the red corner flag on the side of the clepsydra, and held it high.

  The bell rings.

  Almost everyone was shocked by the sound of the bell, and couldn't help but straighten their bodies.

  Xun Chen glanced at Fei Qian slightly, then raised his head and shouted: "Enter~~"

  Drums and bells sounded together, stirring up the Quartet.

  The visitor trotted to Feiqian, then bent down to lead.

   Fei Qian had a high crown and long sleeves, put his hands in the sleeves, and followed the visitor slowly to the altar step by step. The audience bowed and stepped aside, Fei Qian walked towards the altar step by step.

   Drum a hundred times.

  Finn walked up to the top floor of the altar amidst the sound of the drums, and then stood still.

   Drum stop.

  Xun Chen raised his hands high, raised his big sleeves, as if pulling out two flags, and worshiped with a loud shout: "Sacrifice~~"

  Beat the drum nine times, ring the gold nine times.

  Fei Qian was also among the sound of bells and drums, paying homage to the offerings and tablets on the table in the middle of the altar.

  The four corner guards of the altar half kneel.

  Lu Bu, Chen Gong and others also bowed down together, as did the rest of the officials watching the ceremony, and even the common people watching the excitement from a distance also bowed down together, regardless of the muddy snow melting on the ground.

  Han people kneel to the sky, kneel to the ground, and kneel to their parents in the middle. As for the king, most of the time there is no need to bow down. The altar is the place where the heaven and the earth are announced, so it is necessary to bow down, otherwise it is disrespectful to the heaven and the earth.

  For a while, the world was quiet, only the fragrance from the table in the center of the altar curled up.

  Fei dived into the green smoke, put his hands together and closed his eyes and prayed silently.

  After praying, Fei Qian stood up.

   "Present~~" The ceremonial official Xun Chen followed suit just right.

  Fei Qian took the wine bar delivered by the attendant, then raised it high, and offered it to the world.

   Then offer three animals, and finally offer fresh melons and fruits. Fortunately, Feiqian now has a greenhouse, otherwise these fresh melons and fruits can only be replaced by dried fruits...

   Then the whole gift is over.

   After the gift is finished, it is the sacrificial text.

   Sima Hui, who was temporarily acting as the priest, held a sacrificial oration, eloquently, long-winded, cadenced, and impassioned.

Since Sima Hui had expressed his willingness to participate before, it was impossible for him to be arrogant. When Fei Qian said that he would do a ceremony of worshiping on the altar, Sima Hui would naturally be the one to show his face like reading the sacrificial oration. Willing to do.

It can be used as a stepping stone for the Sima family to enter the Zhengxi Group, and it seems to have a high status. After all, those who read the sacrificial rites have always been people with status, such as great Confucians. It's a little bit worse, so there are never too many things that can be put on the body.

Lu Bu was kneeling on the mat under the altar. Perhaps he had been kneeling for a long time, or he had not rested well before, and suddenly felt a little dizzy. He had to support himself on the mat with his hands to stabilize his body. shape.

   Lu Bu listened to Sima Hui's sacrificial oration, but didn't listen to a single word, and kept thinking about the past few days in his mind.

  Last night, Lu Bu and Chen Gong talked for a long time.

Although Chen Gong also tried his best, firstly, the time left for Lu Bu was short, and secondly, Lu Bu did not have any resources at hand. It is still difficult for a so-called clever woman to cook without rice. Coupled with the position of Governor of Bingzhou, Lu Bu is indeed Waiting for someone's urgent need is extremely tempting, so I can only bow my head and admit it first, and then find a way to move it later...

  For example, a more direct and simple way is to ask Emperor Liu Xie to formally confirm the canonization again.

In terms of specific operations, after Lu Bu took office, he could pay tribute to the imperial court in the name of Bingzhou Governor. If Emperor Liu Xie accepted it and gave a formal palindrome, it would mean that he could break away from Feiqian's sequence and return to the orthodox sequence of the court. among.

   It's like Liu Bei became Xuzhou Mu, and then went to pay tribute in the name of Xuzhou Mu.

  Of course, this plan is simple and simple, but before Lu Bu hated Liu Xie and Cao Cao, there is not much hope for whether it can be realized in the end...

   There are other methods, but compared with the previous method, those methods are relatively unsightly, and cannot be made public in a grandiose manner.

   Lu Bu under the altar was full of thoughts, while Fei Qian above the altar, looking at Sima Hui, was actually thinking about some things in his mind, but these things had little to do with Lu Bu. To be honest, with Lu Bu in this situation today, even if Lu Bu rebels because of this or some other reason in the future, Fei Qian will also gain a reputation. Today's grand ceremony will become something everyone talks about and spread everywhere, and everyone will know Because of his previous friendship in Luoyang, Fei Qian gave Lu Bu treatment that exceeded the standard...

  Since a guy like Lu Bu can achieve such a status, doesn’t it mean...

   But similarly, such enfeoffment will also bring some disadvantages to Fei Qian.

  In fact, strictly speaking, the state governor system in the Han Dynasty is a retrogression of history! Since ancient times, China has only become stronger with unified centralization, even extremely strong!

  The western feudal system is actually not suitable for China, only centralization...

  But now it can only be a temporary compromise.

  In short, things are always like this, just like winter snow.

   What's more, it is more important to recruit talents and promote Confucian reform.

The Confucian reformation was not unique to Fei Qian. As early as Wang Mang’s period, because of the sharp conflicts between the ruling and opposition parties at that time, in order to alleviate such contradictions, Wang Mang once launched a large-scale reform, which involved many aspects, including Confucianism. Improvement, but it is obvious that Wang Mang's reform touched too many interests, which eventually led to the rebellion of the world, the collapse of the court, and the collapse of all changes, and even worsened.

  This is a lesson before us, a **** lesson, as the saying goes, what happened to the predecessors, and the teacher of the future. Fei Qian was naturally also worried about whether he would repeat the same mistakes, whether the head would be cut off in the future, and the tongue would be pulled out to make a specimen and put it in the arsenal of the court...

  When the wind and snow come down, it is powerful and boundless, but when the snow melts, it moistens things silently and silently.

   Fei Qian raised his eyes and looked around, feeling a little moved in his heart.

Since Confucianism was respected exclusively, Confucianism has dominated the world. At that time, most of the selection of virtuous and talented people was mainly based on "setting up disciplines and shooting strategies". Avoiding rigidity, forming a cumbersome style of study of "just chapters and sentences".

The reason is very simple. Not all schools or imperial schools can use some questions according to local conditions like Fei Qian. In many cases, exams are a form and means. In order to get a better ranking in such exams, it is natural to There are corresponding tricks and methods, just like many people with high scores and low abilities have been produced along with the exams in later generations.

In order to highlight the difference between themselves and ordinary scholars, many Confucian disciples began to enjoy Kong Yiji's ostentatious research on how to write the word "Hui". The deification of Confucius changed from a human to a non-human, and became a saint.

   What followed was that Confucianism could neither educate the people with morality nor help the court stabilize the society, and the chaos in the world gradually became apparent.

   Is there no sober person in the whole process of being a big man?

   Neither.

   There are still many people who think of the need to improve Confucianism, and the representatives among them are Yang Xiong, Liu Xiang, and Liu Xin and his son.

  Yang Xiong believed that to improve Confucianism, one must first learn from other schools of thought other than Pre-Qin Confucianism, especially absorbing the strengths of Taoism, and strongly demanded the restoration of Confucian orthodoxy. This method is tantamount to denying Dong Zhongshu's New Confucianism and Jinwen Confucianism, so no one paid any attention to it. Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, father and son, changed their approach and devoted themselves to reviving pre-Qin philosophers, re-studying and sorting out the works and theories of various schools of thought, absorbing the advantages of the masters' theories to improve Jinwen Confucianism, and then launched an attempt to Overthrow the ancient Chinese classics of Jinwen classics.

  These people all disappeared with Wang Mang.

  There are many reasons for the failure of Wang Mang's restructuring, but the most fundamental point is that it damaged the interests of the princes, nobles, bureaucrats and local rich people at that time.

The older generation of Confucian masters are basically inclined to the ancient classics in thought, but they have to use the modern classics. The main reason is that there are too many people who study the modern classics, and it has been implemented for two to three hundred years. , has become the job of too many people, so even if you are dissatisfied, it is not an easy task to cut off Jinwen Confucianism.

The current situation is very similar to that of Wang Mang at that time. The imperial power has fallen, and the courts are attacking each other. It is impossible to adapt to the current environment, and it is impossible to respect the present, because many of the current systems have become rigid and lagging behind...

   Fei looked around, and within sight, there were small people. These are ordinary people in Pingyang, watching the excitement. Most of the time, these people are watching the fun, they can't understand, and they can't see clearly the exchange of interests on the political level, but no matter what kind of interest exchange it is, the ultimate bearers are these blank spectators.

   "grant~~"

It is not known when the sacrificial rites were finished. Sima Hui retreated to the side, gasping for air. Even Feiqian could hear the wheezing. It is not easy for the elderly to read out loudly for a long time. pleasant thing.

  The sound of bells and drums rose loudly, quite like the sound of gold and stone killing.

  Fei Qian's train of thought was interrupted, he took the scepter representing the governor of Bingzhou, and held it high. The servants on the side knelt down and lifted the lacquer plate with the seal ribbon above their heads.

  Admiralty strike, Xun Chen shouted: "Bai~~"

  Lv Bu stood up, and under the guidance of the audience, walked up to the altar on the first floor, and then performed a simple salute. After the end, go to the second floor, worship again, and finally walk to Fei Qian step by step.

   "Boom boom boom..."

  When Lu Bu was marching, the drums were beating on the three links, and they stopped when Lu Bu climbed the last step. After three breaths of silence, the bells and drums rang together, majestic and passionate, full of simple and magnificent beauty.

  The twelve armored dancers lined up under the altar began to dance the dance of great martial arts with the sound of bells and drums in front of the altar. The Dance of Great Martial Arts is divided into six sections, and Fei Qian has only selected three of them now, one is leading the battle, the other is fierce fighting, and the other is the three sections of triumphant return.

Fei Qian is a prince, so he is naturally qualified to enjoy bell music, but the number of people cannot exceed that of the royal family, that is, no more than thirty-six people. Of course, when the royal family really shows off, it is often not thirty-six, or even three hundred and six. Ten are possible.

  At the end of the martial dance, the horns and drums sounded in unison, and then stopped at the same time. Only the sound of the flags and banners above the altar fluttering in the wind was heard between heaven and earth.

   Fei Qian held his scepter flat with both hands, and looked at Lu Bu with a smile.

   Lu Bu lowered his head, as if hesitating for a moment, but finally knelt down on one knee, took the scepter from Fei Qian, then stood up, and immediately an attendant hung the ribbon and bag around Lu Bu's waist.

  Lv Bu turned around and faced under the altar, and suddenly the sound of drums and music reappeared, accompanied by the cheers of the people under the altar, as if earth-shattering. The musicians struggled to play the last movement of the whole session, the big wind song.

   "When the strong wind rises, the clouds fly upwards, Vega comes home and returns home, and the strong warriors guard the four directions."

  The melody of the Dafengge, which has been passed down for three or four hundred years, has just started, and the officials in Pingyang who saw the salute, as well as the ordinary people, couldn't help singing along. This song shows the heroism of the entire Han Dynasty and also witnessed the rise and fall of the Han Dynasty.

The man is strong, the woman is gentle, the old man is vicissitudes, and the young child is immature. They sing together in unison. Although there are only three short sentences, under the repeated singing and the accompaniment of the sound of bells, drums, gold and jade, there is a powerful sound. The majestic momentum soared into the sky!

  Lv Bu couldn't help but burst into tears as he listened to it. He roared loudly and joined in the chorus.

Fei Qian stepped forward, stood by Lu Bu's side, and pointed with his hand: "Brother, remember this moment... the cheers of these people are not for your and my official positions, but for... warriors guarding the four directions! Cheers!"

   "!"

   Lu Bu turned his head suddenly, but saw Fei Qian's gentle smile, which seemed a little dazzling under the sun...
