As the name suggests, Miyagi is a group of palaces with city walls, which was generally used as a residence for emperors in Chinese history, but in the current Miyagi is not necessarily the place where the emperor lives, and the princes who have continued in the Spring and Autumn Period are also eligible to live in the palace, but their specifications are strictly restricted.

Lu Zhe didn't know much about the interests of the Spring and Autumn Period, and when he heard that he was building the palace city, he thought that someone had changed the plan of the city. And he has never received any mention of the modification of the city, and anyone dares to change the plan without his permission? He couldn't help but confuse anyone who had the audacity.

Construction of Nanling Castle began in January of the new year and has been under construction for nearly nine months so far. Because it started from the outer city wall, and because of the urgent need for the Qin army to move south, the city wall has now been fully erected.

The city wall of Nanling City is not a boxy shape, but a kind of irregular six-pointed star with water chestnut, the Qin army pays more attention to the direction of the north and west when it goes south, at this time the city wall on these two sides has not only been erected and the female wall, arrow tower, hanging hook and other fortifications have been repaired. The city walls on the east and south sides were not so rushed because they were not so urgent, and because a large number of laborers were transferred behind, the bricks were paused halfway through, and the female walls and arrow towers in some sections of the city wall looked like they were halfway through.

Lu Zhe returned to Nanling City from the east, and it was not suitable to stop and check, and when he entered the city, he only saw the city wall towering. After entering the city, just arranging for the garrison of the army was a lot of work, and it took a lot of time to be led to this mansion to meet with the envoys of all parties, and he didn't even have time to understand the recent affairs of the counties.

Calling Yan Bi, Mian Bei, Kuai Tong, and Xiao He to come over, Lu Zhe was on the one hand because of agriculture, and on the other hand, he wanted to know what changes had happened in the counties after the Qin army went south.

The four of them have been in charge of the civil affairs of Nanjun, Yan Bi is the first round, Yan Bi is the successor, then Kuaitong, and finally Xiao He. The frequent change of civil affairs officials is not what Lu Zhe is happy with, Yan Bi is out of his own mistakes, but the latter three have to be transferred to other places for various reasons, which shows that Lu Zhe is really extremely lacking in civil officials.

"Lord, four gentlemen are waiting outside the hall for an audience."

"Anyway, let them come in."

"Uh......, hey!"

What etiquette can we talk about without the corresponding background? Now the most familiar with etiquette is Confucianism, and there seems to be no one in the Confucian school under Lu Zhe. I don't know what the specifications of etiquette should be, and what etiquette to learn from others, it's not that I can't find it myself!

The door to the hall is open. Lu Zhe, who was sitting on the main seat, looked from a distance, Yan Pi and the other four were forming a horizontal row, they waited for the door to be fully opened, and they all bent down to salute before stepping over the threshold and walked in.

If you look closely, you can see that the four of them have already taken off their boots and are wearing a pair of white rags (i.e., socks) and stepping on a wooden board of unknown material. As they approached, they bent down in unison and said in unison, "See the Lord!" ”

It's a bit interesting, although Lu Zhe said that he had become the commander of an army of tens of thousands early on, and his rule had increased to five counties within nine months, he had never enjoyed this kind of etiquette.

I haven't heard that "up" for a long time. The four of them lowered their heads and looked at each other a few times, and Kuaitong couldn't stand it at first, straightening his waist: "Shall we sit?" ”

Lu Zhe looked at these guys who were looking for their own guilt, and had a calm face: "Did I say let you sit?" ”

"Huh?" Kuaitong was stunned, and his eyes rolled for a moment. Slowly recovering the posture of bending down.

"What are you doing?" Lu Zhe, a modern person, can see that this set of etiquette is really nondescript, it can be seen that they don't understand etiquette at all, but they don't understand that they still have to come to such a set.

"Hey, hey!" Yan Bi smiled awkwardly, because he felt that Lu Zhe's current identity was different. I think I should learn from the aristocracy to pursue etiquette, so there is such a play.

"Alright, let's sit down." Lu Zhe could also guess that it was Yan Bi's tricks. Except for Yan Bi, no one will really do this, even if someone is willing to come to such a set, there is no corresponding qualification to suppress the rest.

"I asked you to come here because I have something to ask you." Holding the outdated roster of acres in his hand, Lu Zhe spread out the map of Nanjun on the case again, "Come here, how can you talk so far away?" ”

I don't know how it was built, this mansion not only has a front yard, a vestibule, a hall, a house, a garden, etc., the hall of the main building is really too big, and the main seat has a high platform, which is two feet away from the guest seat, and I have to raise the volume when I speak, and after a long time, I am looking for guilt.

"When you light an oil lamp in broad daylight, the house is full of the smell of oil extraction." Lu Zhe instructed Meng Shan, who was standing next to him, "Open the windows too." ”

It's October day, the wind is blowing and cool, but the air is not circulating and full of the smell of oil extraction, which is really uncomfortable.

There are quite a few windows in this hall, and since there is no paper now, the windows are wrapped in white gauze. The windows are all open and there is enough light, but the wind is really cool when the wind blows in?

Lu Zhe, who has never bought any clothes, has no home clothes except for battle robes, sleeveless shirts, and armor. Just now, the oil lamps in the hall were lit a lot, the temperature was relaxed, and he was just wearing a sleeveless shirt, and now the window was open, and the wind kept pouring in, how could he not feel cold when he was only wearing a short shirt on an October day?

Kuaitong's eyes were sharp, and after the window was opened, he saw that Lu Zhe suddenly shuddered, and said: "The windows in the front hall can be opened, and the windows in the back hall are closed." ”

Mengsan looked at Lu Zhe.

"Do as Mr. Kuai says." Lu Zhe is not the kind of person who wants to die to save face and suffer crimes, he pulled the short shirt on his body, "Take my battle robe." ”

"Lord, you are all the monarchs who rule the five counties and command 500,000 soldiers and horses......" Yan Bi's words were cut off by Lu Zhe.

"So that's all you do?" Lu Zhe looked disdainful: "Just do it, it's still nondescript, don't you know how to consult Confucian people?" ”

"Confucianism?" Not only Yan Bi was stunned, but Mian Bi, Kuai Tong, and Xiao He all looked inexplicable: "What do you ask Confucianism?" ”

It's not that they didn't understand what Lu Zhe was saying, they could understand what they were talking about in terms of interests, but what was the matter with Confucianism?

Now it is really not Confucianism that is more authoritative on etiquette. There are many types of etiquette, such as auspicious rites for sacrifices, Jia Li for weddings, guest ceremonies, military ceremonies, and funeral ceremonies. Confucianism has little influence, and it is the turn of Confucian students to intervene in folk funerals, and other sacrifices are historians (a school of Baijia Palace), and there are more guests and crown marriages, and military salutes are of course soldiers.

The status of Confucianism is not high, and the most authoritative on etiquette are now historians and legalists. One is that there is often contact between studying history and recording history, and as soon as the knowledge is extensive, there is authority. The other is a legalist who makes laws himself, and what kind of etiquette and treatment at what level cannot be bypassed.

The problem is that Lu Zhe didn't know, so when they asked him, he was slightly stunned and asked, "Aren't you discussing etiquette?" ”

The foundation is big, and the corresponding specifications have to keep up, what kind of treatment should be enjoyed in the mansion of Wenwu, I didn't have time to do it before, but now it is obvious that it has reached the point where I have to do it. To improve the treatment that civil and military personnel should have, Lu Zhe will do one of the next few things.

Kuaitong couldn't laugh or cry, he talked about Confucianism briefly, and Lu Zhe really realized the current social status of Confucianism.

Confucianism's influence on the people during the period of Qin unification was expanding, but it was still one of the hundred schools of thought that was still very weak compared to other schools, not to mention compared with soldiers and legalists, and even Taoism, Yin and Yang, Legalism, celebrities, Mohists, miscellaneous families, peasant families, novelists, and vertical and horizontal families were all more influential than Confucianism.

Confucianism is an academic school that takes Confucius as its teacher in the Spring and Autumn Period, takes the Six Arts as the law, advocates "etiquette and music" and "benevolence and righteousness", advocates "loyalty and forgiveness" and impartiality in the "golden mean", advocates "rule by virtue" and "benevolent government", and attaches importance to moral and ethical education and people's self-cultivation.

To put it bluntly, Confucianism has been unsuccessful since the generation of Confucius, after all, who wants to treat a school of thought that likes to talk about moderation in the situation of great contention among the countries? The mean is indisputable, and in that era, if you don't fight, you will wait to be destroyed, and with this central idea of Confucianism as a premise, it is inevitable that the vassal states will not want to see Confucianism.

Lile is etiquette, isn't it? However, the royal families did not want to see Confucianism, and paying attention to etiquette and music was not unique in Confucianism, because what could Confucianism be valued by the royal families? Therefore, Kuai Tong, who has a good understanding of academics, will be stunned when he sees Lu Zhe when he talks about Confucianism. There is another reason for the inexplicability of the remaining three, they have a general impression of Confucianism, and they have vague worries about Lu Zhe talking about Confucianism, and they are afraid that Lu Zhe will accept Confucianism under his rule.

"Historians and legalists?" Lu Zhe, who didn't know much about the hundred schools of thought, didn't bother to care, "The princes and the philosophers rose together in the end of the microscopic era, and the philosophers had already promised to share the wealth with the monarchs." I didn't have a chance before, but now that Nanling is new, I should give the princes' mansions, treasures, beautiful women, and servants the treatment they deserve......"

The gentlemen are not talking about the four people in front of Lu Zhe, but all the meritorious civil and military personnel.

"That...... Lord? Yan Bi dared to cut off Lu Zhe's words, "We don't have relevant experts." ”

"I can see it. That's why you're so nondescript. Lu Zhe also wondered, the arrangement he made was divided according to the corresponding treatment of the Qin State, but it always seemed strange to have no etiquette officer to plan and only learn its form.

Kuaitong really didn't want this embarrassing topic to continue, so he said first: "The territory under the rule of the Lord is huge, and there are hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and with this foundation, it is easy to recruit corresponding 'capable families'. After a pause, he looked at Lu Zhe with a straight face, "The Lord called me to wait over, shouldn't I be talking about this matter?" ”

Xiao He pinched the bamboo slip in his long sleeves, although he had only met Lu Zhe six times, he still had a certain understanding of Lu Zhe's temperament.

As soon as he settled down, Lu Zhe summoned, Xiao He didn't expect Kuaitong, Yan Bi, and Mian Biao to be summoned before he came, but it would not be idle chatting after all, so he prepared everything that should be prepared in advance. (To be continued......)
