Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

There are birth rites, three-dynasty rites, full-moon rites, hundred-day rites, and one-year-old rites.

Like a birth gift.

It is the bed for giving birth to a man.The clothes that carry the clothes, the chapters that carry the fun.

It means that if you give birth to a boy, let him sleep on the bed, wear gorgeous clothes for him, and play with white jade badges for him, implying the importance of the man and the yearning for the future.

It is the place where a daughter is born and where she sleeps.Carrying the clothes, carrying the tiles

There is also the bow hanging in front of the door, which has its own unique features. Since ancient times, the bow and the sash have been somewhat distinct gender representatives.

Men set the bow on the left side of the door, and women set the belt on the right side of the door.

It is also a form of birth ceremony, intended to indicate the gender of the visiting guests.

Among them, each ritual has its own unique meaning, unique aesthetic feeling of civilization, and also fully contains the unique cultural heritage of this nation.

The existence of this Chinese civilization is also composed of seemingly inconspicuous rituals, intertwined together to form the soul of this civilization.

In this way, even though Li Xiu has always disliked red tape, he still attaches great importance to these etiquettes.

To be precise, these rituals full of civilized beauty, these rituals with meanings greater than the secular copper, are the foundation of this national culture. This foundation is the nation that has lasted for thousands of years and encountered countless disasters, but can always be reunited in The most important reason to be together.

Without this ritual, the Chinese civilization based on ritual lost its soul.

Even if a civilization without a soul is strong for a while, it is only a strong one for a while after all. Once it declines, it will soon disappear in the long river of history.

For example, the collapse of rites and music in the Zhou Dynasty caused a substantial division for hundreds of years.

Until Qin ruled the world, books and text cars were in the same track, barely kneading this nation together again, but even with the power of Qin, it was hard to stop the backlash of this forcible kneading. The world dies.

If it weren't for the Han Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty, who used Confucianism to reshape the etiquette and cultural heritage of this nation, it would have initially established this cultural concept of a unified civilization.

Therefore, when it comes to etiquette, those in power in all dynasties have attached great importance to it.

Being the person in power in the world, Li Xiu naturally also attaches importance to it. Being an example for the world and setting an example is not just a big gift, but also a small gift that is meticulous.

In the early morning, this street full of dignitaries has already been disturbed by the hustle and bustle of the Duke of Qin's mansion, without even inquiring, the servants of the Duke of Qin's mansion brought festive things to announce the good news to every family.

And following the announcement of the good news from one family to another, the news of the birth of the Duke of Qin and Duke Xiao also spread rapidly like the wind.

In the Sun Mansion, Sun Chuanting stared at the good news from the Duke of Qin's Mansion brought by his servants, and said nothing for a long time.

After a long time, Sun Chuanting said slowly: "Has the governor of the three sides arrived at the Duke Qin's mansion?"

"Reporting to my lord, the governors of the three sides entered the capital at night, and they have already arrived at the Duke Qin's mansion this morning."

"It's here...it's almost here..."

Sun Chuanting murmured softly, the darkness in his eyes deepened a bit.

The servant stood aside, although he didn't understand the meaning of the words, but just the tone made his heart tremble, as if a catastrophe was imminent.

"Get ready, I will enter the palace later."

In the end, Sun Chuanting said softly, then slowly turned around and walked into the mansion.

But at this time, in the camp of Jingtaifang, the pro-army commanded the envoys, and Lu Xiangsheng, who received the news, seemed to be relieved of a heavy burden, and suddenly heaved a sigh of relief.

He slowly put down the military affairs in his hands, got up and changed into an inconspicuous cloth robe, and then straightened his clothes in front of the bronze mirror.

Then he went back to his seat and sat down, and he didn't deal with military affairs any more, just sat upright like this, as if he was waiting for something.

Time passed by little by little, and at some point, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door, and then, a man dressed as a servant pushed the door in, the man cupped his hands at Lu Xiangsheng, and said softly .

"My lord, Madam, please go over there."

"understood."

Lu Xiangsheng obviously wasn't surprised at all, he got up directly, and followed the servants out of the side door of the Commander's office, got on a sedan chair, and quietly walked from the Commander's office to the away from the palace.

In Dongchang, after hearing the news, Cao Huachun was also speechless for a long time, and his expression was extremely complicated.

"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"

In the hall, Cao Huachun's elder brother Cao Huachun asked with some doubts when he saw his appearance.

"The birth of Duke Xiao is a great joy. Although the relationship between the queen mother and Duke Qin is stiff now, fourth brother, please don't be hostile to Duke Qin because of this!"

Cao Huayu also followed suit.

Hearing the words of the two elder brothers, Cao Huachun couldn't help sighing heavily. After a long silence, he looked at the two elder brothers in front of him: "Elder Brother, Second Brother, leave the capital, the farther you go, the better!"

"Keep your name incognito, never reveal your relationship with your younger brother!"

After saying this, both Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu's expressions changed, and immediately, elder brother Cao Huachun frowned and said, "Fifth Brother, is it so serious?"

Cao Huachun shook his head, he didn't say a word, but his expression was extremely dark.

Seeing this, Cao Huachun said again: "Fifth brother, since this is the case, let's go together!"

Cao Huayu: "Yes, let's go together. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of wealth. Wherever we go, the three of us can live well."

"You go, I, can't go!"

Cao Huachun shook his head, his expression was dark, but his attitude was extremely firm.

"Fifth brother, if you don't leave, as an older brother, how can you leave your younger brother behind!"

"If you don't go, we won't go either!"

Seeing the two brothers who were equally determined, Cao Huachun almost begged:

"Let's go, it's too late, we won't be able to leave, our old Cao's family, we can't stop staying in this capital!"

"Big brother, second brother, don't think about yourself, think about your nephews, think about our old Cao's family!"

"If you don't leave, none of us will survive! Our old Cao's family will also die!"

Cao Huachun, who had been suppressed for too long, finally broke out at this moment. After venting, Cao Huachun seemed to be a few years older, mentally decadent, and waved his hands weakly: "I have prepared the household registration guide. People can find out, two brothers, take care!"

After finishing speaking, Cao Huachun dragged his heavy body and walked towards the back hall step by step, leaving Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu standing there in a daze.

……

In the mourning hall in the palace, in front of the coffin of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen had knelt down for a long time, and also talked to himself for a long time, as if the late emperor was still there, Wang Chengen reported the changes and situation of the government bit by bit.

"Your Majesty, Duke Qin has a queen, a boy..."

"Your Majesty, you read Duke Qin correctly. This old slave can tell that Duke Qin really really wants Daming to get better..."

"My servant thinks, many things are beyond one's control. The Queen Mother is, and so is Duke Qin..."

"But...Your Majesty...the Empress Dowager is completely paranoid, the old slave is incompetent, and I can't persuade the empress!"

Wang Chengen was already in tears, crying loudly in front of Chongzhen's coffin.

"This old slave is incompetent, Your Majesty..."

In the end, Wang Cheng'en wiped away the tears from his face, and kowtowed violently: "This old servant has lost his composure, please forgive me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if this old slave fights for his life, he will keep His Majesty's blood..."

……

3 Chapter Sixty

On the eighth day of June in the second year of Jingwu, the first son of Duke Qin's mansion was born, the news spread, and the capital city, which had been calm and depressed for a long time, finally caused some waves.

On the second day, a decree in the palace turned these waves into a monstrous wave!

On the ninth day of June in the second year of Jingwu, the emperor decreed that the Duke of Qin was loyal to the emperor and the country, saved the country from danger many times, and made outstanding contributions. Hosted by the Tian family, congratulated by hundreds of officials...

If there was such a decree in the past, people might only be moved by the Tian family's favor to Duke Qin, and by the sight of the monarch and his ministers meeting each other.

But now, the situation in the court has already been spread all over the world, but anyone who pays attention to the affairs of the world, no one knows the various disturbances in the court.

Under such circumstances, there is such a will of grace, which inevitably makes people think about it.

Is it to appease, is it to clear up the past, or is there another plan?

Time passed by bit by bit amidst iron speculations and discussions, but soon, the attention of the world was diverted from this extremely gracious award.

Those famous generals entered Beijing one after another, which obviously attracted more attention than anything else.

Governor Huai'an Hou Zhou Yuji of the three sides, Shanhai Governor Zhongyi Hou Zhao Wu, Jiangnan Military Reform and Inspection Chief Deputy Envoy Rushan Hou Yanshun...

A large number of generals with illustrious military exploits stepped into the capital one after another, and the forces of civil servants who had raised their heads immediately lowered their heads that had just been raised in front of the gathered Wu Xun.

The Duke Qin's mansion, which was already noisy and bustling, became even more noisy after these generals entered the capital.

General Wu Xun, most of them have mansions in the capital, but now, few return to live in their mansions, they all go directly to Duke Qin's mansion to congratulate them as soon as they enter the capital, and then simply live there.

Or drink and chat with Pao Ze, or return to the Beijing Army, gather with former colleagues, or go hunting on horseback.

South of the capital, Nanhaizi Hunting Ground.

"Drive! Drive!"

War horses are galloping, surrounded by iron cavalry, birds and beasts are scrambling to escape under this movement, arrow clusters are also shot out at a high speed, and they are accurately shot into the bodies of birds and beasts, and there are bursts of applause from time to time .

On the edge of the lake, there are camps and soldiers standing.

Li Xiu straddled his horse, his cloak fluttering in the wind, his eyes were fixed on the sparkling lake in front of him.

Beside him, several confidant generals also stood on horseback.

"This Nanhaizi is a good place!"

Li Xiu looked back and said with emotion: "It's a pity that such a good place is almost abandoned!"

Zhou Yuji smiled and said: "Mr. Qin likes it, just repair it. In the future, there will be these brothers in the end. If they return to the capital and live there, they will have a place to go to relieve boredom!"

Li Xiu smiled heartily: "Haha, you have a good idea. In this world, it is not so easy for you to relax."

Speaking of this, Li Xiu's expression was inexplicable, and he said with emotion:

"In this world, the evils must be eradicated, and the old and the new must be replaced. In addition to the territory, there are still powerful enemies lurking..."

"We still have a long way to go!"

Speaking of this, Li Xiu suddenly changed the topic, "Tomorrow is Jing'er's full moon ceremony."

After saying this, all the generals were stunned, as if they didn't understand the meaning of Li Xiu's words.

Glancing at the expressions of the generals, Li Xiu once again had an indescribable feeling in his heart.

Obviously, it can be seen from their expressions that they don't know what this full moon banquet means.

This... is undoubtedly a bit ironic.

Those who personally arranged the layout did not know the changes in the situation...

Scholar, is it really so difficult to return to your heart?

Or is it that he, Lu Xiangsheng, doesn't know the real plan?

Li Xiu didn't know.

If possible, he hopes to be the second answer.

Seeing the change in Li Xiu's expression, several generals looked at each other subconsciously. Immediately, they seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and their expressions slowly became serious.

"Jing'er's full moon banquet tomorrow, don't drink too much."

However, Li Xiu didn't seem to notice the changes in the expressions of the generals, as if giving orders casually, he immediately took out a few jade bottles from his bosom and threw them one at a time.

"This is an anti-alcoholic medicine. Take one pill before drinking, and you will not get drunk after a thousand cups. It is a good thing. Let the brothers who will attend the banquet take one pill at that time, so as not to drink too much and make a fool of yourself..."

Li Xiu turned his horse's head: "You guys talk first, and the governor is also going to practice!"

After speaking, with a wave of the whip, the horse galloped and quickly disappeared from the sight of several people.

At this moment, the faces of several generals were gloomy, and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen to the extreme.

"Lu Xiang is promoted to a bastard, he really dares!"

Zhao Wu's eyes were full of anger, and he tightly grasped the handle of the knife with a murderous look.

"calm down!"

Zhou Yuji's voice was cold: "The general didn't say anything clearly, the matter is still uncertain, don't rush to draw conclusions!"

"Have you not made it clear yet?"

Zhao Wu raised the jade bottle in his hand: "Tomorrow will be a fucking Hongmen Banquet!"

"That crazy woman tried to lure Lu Xiangsheng in every possible way. I don't believe that Lu Xiangsheng didn't know about this Hongmen feast!"
