Chapter 599: The Birth of a Behemoth (Part II)

The choice to hold it on the winter solstice festival was something that Lu Zhe personally determined.

The Winter Solstice Festival is the New Year of this era, and now people do not set the beginning of the new year at the Spring Festival, so Lu Zhe chose to hold it on the day of the Winter Solstice Festival, saying that Wang Jianguo may not be without the meaning of joy and joy.

It is not a simple matter to be called the king, it is necessary to sacrifice to the heavens and the ghosts and gods of the eight directions, so according to the established custom, it is necessary to build a sacrificial platform. At the same time, because of the habit of drinking in the countryside, Lu Zhe also needed to send people to all the villages under his rule to invite respected old people over the age of 60 to participate in the ceremony, which would take a lot of time.

Drinking in the countryside is not a too complicated thing, that is, the villagers of a township gather on a certain festival, and the three elders of the township preside over drinking and having fun together (le), and after the sacrifice, the three elders evaluate all the "li" in the township The fruits of this year's labor, which one gets the praise of the three elders, it will be a very face-saving thing, and which one is criticized will also make that one faceless.

During the Song Dynasty, the first "Rural Convention" in China appeared after the improvement of Lü Dafang. What is a country convention? It is a clear provision of mutual help on the basis of Song law. The history is called "Lantian Township Covenant", the content is in the daily life etiquette norms, the villagers help each other, advise each other to good and refrain from evil, the purpose is to make the customs pure.

Lu Zhe happened to be the one who knew the "Lantian Township Covenant", and it was not yet explicitly stipulated that it was a law for the countryside to watch and help each other, but it did not prevent him from welcoming the old people who said that Wang Jianguo needed to invite respected people, and he also wanted to personally contact the old people to understand the actual situation of each township.

Six days before the Winter Solstice Festival, Lu Zhe finally had his direct descendant, a boy born to Wei Ji.

On the third day after Wei Ji gave birth to a boy, Lu Pheasant was also on the verge of giving birth to a girl to Lu Zhe.

finally has a bloodline, and everyone who follows Lu Zhe is overjoyed. What made them even more ecstatic was that after the birth of a man and a woman, Zhao Wan also reported that she was pregnant, so that except for the newly accepted Xiongnu and Zhao Xin, Lu Zhe's women were all giving birth or pregnant, proving that Lu Zhe had no problem with passing on the bloodline, which really made the atmosphere closer to Wang Jianguo more enthusiastic.

Wei Ji originally wanted a girl, but she gave birth to a boy, which made her very worried.

Why is this so? Because Wei Ji knows too well what the fate of an eldest son without the help of a strong maternal family will be, she doesn't feel how much she is favored by Lu Zhe, how can she not feel good for the future of the child who has just been born.

Lu Pheasant is very eager to have a boy. But she gave birth to a girl, which made her love almost out of control.

The eldest son, you must know that Lu Zhe has not yet officially decided who is the main mother, so the person who gave birth to the eldest son must be qualified to compete, after all, it is Lu Zhe's first bloodline that can be inherited, and it is too advantageous in the orderly social environment of the young and the old.

Lu Zhe was a little sloppy in his treatment of women, of course he didn't see Wei Ji's worries and Lu Pheasant's unwillingness, but he showed a strong love for his bloodline.

Since the birth of the child, Lu Zhe has placed Wei Ji, Lu Pheasant and the child in the main hall very close to the office. The two of them were separated by a hallway. Sometimes, when he was dealing with official business, he would put down what he was doing when he thought of his children, and ran barefoot on the planks for a while, hugging one here and one there, and finally became two arms and wrists with a child each. A smile on his face amused.

As long as everyone in Miyagi has found a characteristic, Lu Zhe treats children without the difference between boys and girls, and even at some times Lu Zhe shows more affection for girls than boys.

People who don't understand think that Lu Zhe loves Lu Pheasant more than Wei Ji, which also makes Lu Pheasant even more unwilling that he gave birth to a girl. thinks that she has the help of the Peixian department, coupled with Lu Zhe's favor, if she gives birth to a boy, she is definitely qualified to compete for the position of future princess.

In fact, where is Lu Zhe more than Wei Ji who loves Lu Pheasant. He looks at his children according to the psychology of modern people. thinks that girls always have to get married when they grow up, and they love more if they can love more. Boys stay at home all the time, and some spend time together day and night. In this way, he also shows more fatherly love to the girl, not because of the relationship of who the biological mother is.

The girl is the little padded jacket of her parents, Lu Zheke doesn't care that there is no cotton padded jacket in this era, and the first father happily hugged the girl when he met with the ministers, so that a group of unknown people thought that the object of their allegiance doted on Lu Pheasant, and was so pampered that he even held his daughter at any time when discussing the major affairs of Wang Jianguo.

"Lord, all the envoys from all the countries who came to congratulate have arrived," Shusun Tong was arranged as the ceremonial officer of the king, responsible for many ceremonial arrangements when he was crowned king, "The princess of Qin also arrived in Nanling with the envoy group. ”

The princess of Qin is the ninth princess of the first emperor, Yangzi, and she came to Nanling this time to marry Lu Zhe. Such a strange thing happened, Lu Zhe does not have a so-called harem now, and even the palace city has not yet been built, but his palace is now the princess of Zhao, Chu, and Qin, in addition to Qi, Yan, Wei, and Han have also proposed to marry, so that the country that is destroyed or not destroyed has become the country of Lu Zhe's in-laws.

After hearing this, Lu Zhe just nodded and did not express any opinion.

The representatives of the various countries recognized the independence of Lu Zhe, but the Qin State did not mean that.

Qin Guolai's team is not called the envoy group, it is a wedding group, and the person who presides over the marriage is Wang Xuan.

Wang Juan is the prime minister of the Qin State, and the specifications of his coming are beyond imagination, but his coming is an embarrassing thing.

Originally, the Qin State canonized Lu Zhe as the king, and the Qin State needed to encourage the First Emperor on behalf of the First Emperor at the ceremony, and also read out the will of the First Emperor in public, but even if Lu Zhe agreed to this item, some courtiers would not let such a thing happen.

Wang Juan had been clearly told that the Qin State was only qualified to observe the ceremony and had no qualifications to support it, and he regarded this as a counterattack by Lu Zhe against the non-evacuation of the Qin army in Hanzhong County.

Lu Zhe's ceremony of claiming the title of king is not presided over by the Qin State, so the matter of the Qin State canonizing Lu Zhe as the king has become a child's play, after all, without the ceremony presided over by the important ministers of the Qin State, it is not a canonization ceremony, and the established country cannot be regarded as a "feudal country", it should be an independent kingdom.

Qin was unwilling to withdraw his troops in Hanzhong County, and Lu Zhe had nothing to be polite with Qin, and refused Wang Juan's request to preside over the ceremony, and even refused Wang Juan's public recitation of the first emperor's canonization edict, which was regarded by the countries as the beginning of Lü Zhe's friendship with Qin.

Of course, Lu Zhe would not attack Qin at this time, so he gave Wang Juan and others the qualifications to come from Qin to watch the ceremony, but Wang Juan and the others did not feel pleased, but worried.

Wang Juan has been asking Lü Zhe to meet recently, hoping to save Lü Zhe from accepting the ceremony of being crowned king by someone from the Qin State, and read out the edict of canonization in public at the ceremony. For this reason, he said that the issue of the garrison of Hanzhong County was completely negotiable, and said that the agreement between Lu Zhe and Fusu could also be partially revised...... Naturally, it was a treaty revision that was more favorable to Lu Zhe.

When the envoys of the various countries got these rumors, they openly or implicitly reminded Lu Zhe that the Qin State had never been a country that abided by treaties, and gave many examples, including the incident of inviting King Chu Huai to the alliance but being detained.

It is not uncommon for the Qin State to not keep its promises, and in fact, the nations themselves are not so clean.

In fact, as long as you are a politician, who will talk about credibility? In the history of China, I don't know when it began, disrespecting credit and conventions is called a kind of wisdom, and the more you don't keep your agreements, the more cunning you are, the more you are considered wise......

Fortunately, now morality is still strict with self-denial and has a sense of shame, and the faces of the countries are not as thick as Qin's, so they don't have the confidence to insult Qin's uncompromising means to achieve their goals, but just use an attitude of "we are more trustworthy than Qin" to explain the facts.

What attitude can Lu Zhe have? What he needs now is to maintain a relationship with all countries that is not hostile to the point of immediate war, so he can only smile and not make any judgments.

On the premise that Wang Jianguo was imminent, a new plan was already being discussed, and everyone, including Lü Zhe, believed that the more fierce the war between Qin and the other nations, the better, and the more blood they shed with each other, the less resistance Lü Zhe's side would encounter in future expansion.

In fact, the plan for going north and unifying the world (referring to the land of China) has already laid out some directions, and Lu Zhe believes that the Qin, Qi, Yan, and Zhao who have gone through the great war will inevitably suffer from the national strength, and the army will also be greatly attrition in the long-term fighting, and as long as they can achieve a development period of three to five years, once they send troops to the north, it will be a sweeping situation.

Countries that hate each other too much, they must also find that shedding too much blood will be cheap in the end, but now it is a situation where it is difficult to ride a tiger, and they can't stop at all, so they will continue to propose marriage, there is a level of marriage, Lu Zhe always has to scruple about his feelings, he will not be too ugly, and what is not humane to outsiders is that even if he really dies, he can be a happy man like a bear heart.

Two days before the Winter Solstice Festival, the important ministers of the Quartet basically rushed back to Nanling, including of course some generals of the Southern Army and the Northern Army.

The military parade was called a military exercise in this year, and the so-called military exercise was to find an open place to set up a military formation, and then conduct a hunt, but Lu Zhe's military parade was not the same thing...... (To be continued......)
