Chapter 609: What is Shock (I)
The recitation of the sacrificial text is to tell the god what he has done, so which people have been loved to have today's ritual of worshipping the heavens.
The moment Lu Zhe finished reciting, Yale was played.
Among the Yale are the Yellow Emperor's "Cloud Gate", Emperor Yao's "Da Xian", Emperor Shun's "Jiu Shao", Emperor Yu's "Da Xia", Shang Tang's "Dayan", and the "Dawu" of the Zhou Dynasty, collectively known as the music of the six generations. In the later period of the Zhou royal family, except for Emperor Shun's "Jiu Shao" and the Zhou royal family's own "Dawu", other Yale has been lost.
At the moment, nearly hundreds of musicians are playing "Dawu", which is called classical music in modern times, but in fact, the real performance and classical music are not the same key at all. Yale is played with a dignified and righteous spirit, what is called grandeur and righteousness, that is, the rhythm of the music is very slow, and there is no cheerful rhythm, and modern people will only feel monotonous and drowsy.
There are reasons for monotony and slow tempo, monotony is because the musical instruments have not yet evolved, and many musical instruments are not available at this time, so the instruments that play Yale are Xun, Xuan, Zhu, Panxiao, Konghou, Zheng, Guqin, and Se; The slow pace is to show grandeur, which is regarded as upright and upright.
In ancient times, it was difficult to learn music, because it was extremely difficult to train a musician in the era when there was no musical score, and because of low productivity, if you want to train a musician, it means that the musician does nothing but music, and the instrument is not a bad thing, and music is not something that ordinary people can afford to play.
In addition, for the ancients of the ancient Qin Dynasty, music is also a very sacred thing, only on the occasion of the sacrifice can be heard, the sacrifice is not at all times, and the people who can sacrifice will not be ordinary people, it can be seen who can hear the music, and how difficult it should be to hear the music once.
Growing up in modern times, Lu Zhe has listened to quite a lot of tunes. To be cheerful, intense, and dull have everything, so that in his ears came the music and ...... The mourning is almost the same. However, to the people of this era, Yale is the most beautiful music in the world, and many people even think that it is worth it to hear it once in a lifetime.
During the Yale performance, Lu Zhe burned a lot of sacrifices, and finally threw the sacrificial text into the dingzhong to burn before he began to lead the hundred officials to kneel to the sky.
Lu Zhe's body was short, and the hundred officials then knelt down on their knees, and then the soldiers and all the heads of the Qian, and the result was that at a glance, there was not a single person standing.
After the worship, Lu Zhe stood up again. The second person to stand up was Shusun Tong, who was holding a plate in his hand.
On the plate in the hand of the uncle and grandson, there are jade belts, crowns and corresponding seals, the jade belts are engraved with some inscriptions, and the crown has twelve bead chains, and the seals are naturally the king's seals.
In the cheers of the crowd, Lu Zhe took the jade belt and tied it around his waist, and the crown was also worn on his head, holding the king's seal to announce it to the audience, and this set of ceremonies was completed.
Seems like something is missing? That's right, there is no woman by Lu Zhe's side. Watch a movie or series. It is inevitable that a certain heroine will be present when a king sacrifices or ascends the throne, but after all, it is just acting. The more absurd the movie or series, the more women surround the king's sacrifice, and in fact, no woman is allowed to exist on this occasion at all. Therefore, Lu Zhe's women have always stayed on the top of the city tower to watch and could not participate.
Of course, this does not mean that women cannot participate in the sacrifice, but it refers to the occasion of the establishment of the king, after the establishment of the queen or princess. On some occasions of sacrifice, the queen (princess) is to participate, implying the yin and yang harmony of "phoenix and song". The phoenix is male, and the phoenix is female. It wasn't until the Ming Dynasty that the dragon represented the emperor, and before that it was the "Son of Heaven" of the Son of Heaven, so if you heard something like "please take care of the emperor's body before the Ming Dynasty", it must be the name brought by a certain traverser.
Lu Zhe was busy with the civil and military officials to carry out the ceremony, but the envoys of the countries had different ideas.
Because of the ceremony of being called the king, there is no mistake or negligence in the whole ceremony except for the presence of Qianshou, and some of them think that Lu Zhe has some corresponding background, and it is no longer a reckless or other kind of storage.
The so-called heritage of the envoys of the countries refers to culture, that is, Lu Zhe is not messing around, he is holding ceremonies according to the traditions of his ancestors, not some people who have gained a little power and have no corresponding culture and still have to mess around.
Here I have to say that Chen Sheng's title in the history of the genuine history, Chen Sheng's ceremony of becoming the king is to call all his subordinates, and then put on an irregular king-level crown robe, buckle twelve crowns on his head, and all his subordinates shout "See the king" and it is over. Chen Sheng would not know that his appearance made some traditional nobles laugh in their hearts, feeling that Chen Sheng was a dirt bun and no longer respectful, and as a result, he lowered his majesty and accelerated the disintegration.
Some envoys were thinking about the cultural heritage of Lu Zhe's side, but many of them observed that Lu Zhe won the hearts of the people from the attitude of the head of Qian, and saw that Lu Zhe's civil and military personnel wore standard official uniforms according to their ranks, and observed too much.
Qianshou is not skinny, which means that Lu Zhe is under the rule...... At least there has never been a shortage of food in Nanling. Many Qianshou put on new clothes on the winter solstice, which also means that their living standards are rich. Life looks good, and it is natural for the head of the Qians to love his ruler, and with such a popular foundation, Lu Zhe will definitely not lack the heads of the Qians who are willing to serve, and the sufficiency of military resources can be imagined.
In all the countries now, there is no country that has a standard official clothing, basically only stipulates what jewelry cannot be worn, and the grade (status) is not what color clothes cannot be worn, but the style of clothing is not regulated. Lu Zhe's side took the lead in allocating the corresponding government to the civil and military hundred official system, and all officials should wear uniform of whatever style and style as they should be, which only gave people the impression of being hierarchical and full of organization, and it was natural to think that the organization was strict and the division of labor was clear.
The former country only vaguely felt that Lu Zhe had risen, and the territory under Lu Zhe was vast and there were many troops, and this time I came to watch the ceremony and saw a qiē, Lu Zhe's strength is no longer just a vague impression, they have seen too many things, a regime with cultural heritage, a ruling system with a clear division of labor and a well-organized system, and a behemoth that is loved by the head of Qian.
"So far, we have traded more than 1.5 million stone of grain from here?" Wang Juan seemed to think about something, and asked Dong Fei next to him in a low voice.
Dong Fei immediately replied: "Back to the prime minister, it has indeed exceeded 1.5 million stones. ”
"Alas......" Wang Juan sighed and stopped talking.
Not only did the Qin State only trade grain and straw from Lu Zhe, but also had a lot of various weapons and arrows, and even the amount of medicinal materials, cloth and other things was also huge, otherwise would it be a matter of the treasury being emptied?
Wang Juan had to sigh, because he knew why Lu Zhe could develop like this in less than three years, it was nothing more than because of the continuous plundering and expansion under the premise of benefit sharing, the Chu State perished under Lu Zhe's expansion, and Baiyue was also almost dead under Lu Zhe's continuous plunder, and a large amount of expansion and plundered benefit sharing According to the ancient saying, "the upper and lower have the same desire", how could it not be possible to unite more and more people?
The way of Lu Zhe's rise is easy to understand, but it is too difficult to imitate, especially for the countries whose interests have been distributed, their groups of vested interests have been fixed, and then there are rulers who account for nine points in the distribution of interests because of such and such relationships, and the unfair distribution of interests is naturally not enough to drive more people to strive and work hard for the same goal. What's more important is that any ruler except Lu Zhe only reaches the aristocracy in the distribution of benefits, and they never want to enjoy dividends with the Qiantou under their rule.
At present, the Qin State has begun to seek to change the law again, in order to recover the negative impact caused by the centralization, but the Qin State is definitely not suitable for large-scale reform of the law now, to explain the white point, it is not possible to destroy the interests of those with vested interests, otherwise I am afraid that it will be bad, and it can only go back to the old road of Shang Ying's reform of the law, to reshape "justice", which is Shang Ying's emphasis on the idea of "those who work have income".
Wang Juan was thinking about what the Qin State should do to tide over the difficulties, and before he knew it, Yale had been replaced by a passionate sound of war drums and horns, he looked up in the direction of Lu Zhe just now, but found that there was no one there, and looked around to finally find Lu Zhe's figure on the city tower.
The fierce sound of war drums is emitted by two hundred large drums, and the sturdy wrestlers are dancing with their bare upper hands and drumsticks, because of the vigorous exercise, the tendons and flesh of the body are full of sweat, and they are gilded in the sun, and with the dancing of the drumsticks, it seems that the sweat is spilled out by the fierce movements.
The sound of the drums is really exciting, it is the music of the battle formation that Lu Zhe repeatedly confirmed with the musician in his spare time, the so-called music of the battle array is actually the soundtrack that Lu Zhe likes very much when he watches the movie, and what he is playing now is the soundtrack of the "Five Tigers and Generals" in the movie "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor".
Of course, because of the incomplete relationship between the instruments in this era, and because Lu Zhe is not a musician and can't mention scores, the music is definitely not exactly the same, but in the process of making zuò, more passionate rhythms will inevitably be added. Not only did Wang Juan hear the music before, but it was the first time that everyone present heard this kind of music, except for the soldiers who had previously undergone the inspection of the battle of Huizhang County.
In the rhythm of the music, there were bursts of footsteps in the distance, accompanied by the sound of mountains and tsunamis, and soldiers wearing iron armor and holding sharp blades lined up in a 25X25 phalanx and walked far away...... (To be continued......)
