Chapter 607: Rejoice! (below)
Today is the most revealing moment for Shusun Tong, how many people in the world can preside over the ceremony of becoming the king, and how many people can preside over the founding of the country? As early as when he defected to Lu Zhe, he called for friends, and when he learned that he would become the host of the ceremony three months ago, he regarded this call for Wang Jianguo as a rare opportunity for Confucianism to flourish.
Nowadays, there are people of all schools under the rule of Lu Zhe, but the number of Confucian students is the largest, but their development is also the slowest. For example, several schools such as Legalism, Moism, Celebrity, Zonghengjia, and Peasant have a place in various academies, but only a few students of Confucianism have been appointed by Lu Zhe as ceremonial officials on various occasions, and the positions in the academies are only limited to a few teachings, such as sacrificial wine, doctors, teaching assistants, scholars, scholars, and professors, but they are filled with other schools.
Shusun Tong has always hoped that Confucianism can be carried forward and increase its influence, and he hopes that Confucianism will not only make a difference in some festivals, after all, Confucianism will not only be "rites", but also a lot of other knowledge. He wanted to use this time to preside over Lu Zhe's title of king and Jianguo to change the embarrassing status quo of Confucianism, enhance the influence of Confucianism, and also make this ceremony perfect to increase the weight of Confucianism in Lu Zhe's heart.
At a time when many Confucian scholars saw this opportunity as a critical moment to change the fate of Confucianism, the solemnity of the ceremony and the strict requirements for etiquette naturally became more and more refined.
In fact, any ceremony is related to histology, without strong organizational skills, it is impossible to preside over cumbersome and orderly ceremonies, Shusun Tong as a master of Confucianism can run the ceremony well, does it mean that Confucianism also teaches things about histology?
That's right, there are many schools of thought now, and Confucianism is a school that is easy to learn, so the field of "invasion" of too many schools has been disregarded. Today's Confucian students are not the kind of waste materials who "only read the books of the sages and sages, and do not listen to the things outside the window", and it is precisely because they do not have a "hegemonic status" that they will be of good use and learn anything. However, it is necessary to emphasize that it is something that belongs to Confucianism, and it will be despised and resisted by many schools.
Lu Zhe chose Shusun Tong to preside over the ceremony because this guy did have a set of etiquette, but gradually he found that the people recommended by Shusun Tong were actually well organized, and when he asked, he knew that those people were all people who had studied "Liutao".
Isn't "Liutao" a soldier's thing? It is indeed the knowledge that belongs to the soldiers, and then Confucianism learned it, this ...... Infringement!
In recent years, there have been more and more things of aggression, not only Confucianism and messy things are learned, but other schools are basically in this situation, and there is only one reason why such a thing will occur, that is, the competition is too fierce. Not progressing means being eliminated.
In a highly competitive environment, people pursue more and more practical knowledge, and if Lu Zhe opened military and other academies after the rigid Song Dynasty, it would definitely be a troublemaker, but now it is widely popular, and each school has to elect elites to compete for the position of the academy in order to increase its influence.
There is competition to make progress, of course Lu Zhe understands this truth, but a question has been bothering him recently, that is, how should competition be carried out. Should the idea of great unification be inherited, and at the same time, what kind of concept should the idea of great unification be transmitted.
The smiling and watching Wenwu didn't know why the object of their allegiance was in a daze, and they could already hear the louder and louder noise outside.
I don't know how many people were shouting and the drums and trumpets were almost muffled by the sound of drums and horns, so you can imagine how many people gathered in the eastern square of Miyagi.
In fact, because it's the Winter Solstice Festival. People do not want to do anything but entertainment today, and when they are ruled, they drag their families to the square with a pilgrimage mood, and are restrained by the soldiers who maintain order to find a place to stand.
A square that can accommodate 200,000 people naturally can't be filled with people, and Lu Zhe has made arrangements in advance. There were stepped benches in some places above the square that could be set up to sit down, but he underestimated the number of heads who came to watch the ceremony, so that there were not enough benches to seat 100,000 people. Fortunately, there is a plan for it. More people were placed to stand on the left and right sides of the parade lane, and the number of soldiers to maintain order was increased accordingly.
Miyagi is in the center of Nanling Castle, the road planning of Nanling Castle is also around Miyagi, four straight and wide avenues of 20 meters run through the whole city, now look down from the sky, the whole Nanling Castle is moving along the avenue one after another, and the east square of Miyagi is also full of small black dots that are moving.
Sima Xin, the chief director of the parade, and Ji Bu, the assistant director, who were in charge of maintaining the order, were shocked into a cold sweat when they learned that at least 400,000 Qiantou had gathered. Of course, they were either afraid of any misdeeds such as riots on the part of the people who had gathered, or they were worried that there would be insufficient soldiers to maintain order, and that they would push and turn into chaos.
Lu Zhe was also shocked when he learned that more than 400,000 people had gathered, but then he muttered, "Fortunately, there is no such thing as 'illegal assembly' now, and there is no need for dozens of people to gather together to send the army to suppress it", and then it was time to do something.
Tsundere, adult men and healthy women have been traveling for four or five quarters of the compulsory military system, and they can be regarded as disciplined people. Moreover, there have been hundreds of thousands of troops near Nanling City for a long time, and those who like to make trouble have long been cleaned up.
There are too many city rules to abide by in the daily life of the citizens who can still live in Nanling City, such as walking on the right is one of them, and they can be regarded as a group of people who understand the rules. They live comfortably, and the place where they live is soon to be the royal capital, how can they proudly say to outsiders in the future, "I am a person who lives in XX place", how can they not restrain themselves more?
When Lu Zhe prepared his clothes, some of the accompanying armor soldiers also appeared gorgeously, and their supporter Lu Zhe walked out of the main hall and saw the corridor layout with colorful lanterns.
It took at least half an hour to walk from the main hall to the palace gate, and all Lu Zhe saw along the way was a festive scene with red cloth ribbons, and when they walked to the road that intersected with the dormitory, there were already quite a few people waiting there.
If you are only the king today, Lu Zhe's women are not qualified to appear in the public eye, but today is also the founding ceremony, so Lu Zhe's women have to dress up to participate in the celebration.
Lu Zhe has not yet determined who is the main mother, according to the marriage relationship of the royal level, that is, the candidates for the princess, let alone their ranks, so there is no difference between who has a high status and who has a low status among the women.
There is no rank to distinguish the superior, so who has given birth to a child for Lu Zhe and who has not has become a condition of comparison. They also seem to abide by such rules, so when Lu Zhe arrived, the first thing he saw was Wei Wen holding a male baby standing in front, and Lu Pheasant holding her daughter a little bit back, and then Zhao Wan, who was pregnant, Zhao Xin and Xiongnu were the most noble, but they were standing in the back position.
Why is the first emperor's ninth princess Yangzi not among them? That's right, after all, Lu Zhe hasn't officially married Yang Zi yet, so she naturally won't appear here. And this is also the most nostalgic thing for Wang Juan and others in the wedding group.
Under the prompting of the retainer Yan Bi, Lu Zhe had already realized that his behavior towards his bloodline had caused a lot of trouble, and he glanced lovingly at the girl who smiled when he saw him in Lu Pheasant's arms, but when he walked over, he hugged the sleeping boy from Wei Wen's hand.
When Lu Zhe arrived, except for Wei Wen and Lu Pheasant, who were holding their children, the rest of the people, the women squatted and the men held hands.
Lu Pheasant found that Lu Zhe didn't hug her girl very lovingly as usual for a while, she then kept smiling and wanted to get closer, but she saw Lu Zhe hugging the boy and returning it to Wei Wen, I didn't know what to whisper, and then turned around and walked forward.
Miyagi is too big, it stands to reason that some carriages or sedan chairs should be arranged as a substitute, but I don't know if it's because of Lu Zhe's negligence or what, the carriage or sedan chair didn't appear at all, and only when there were Hongling envoys from all over the country who came to report the emergency military situation would they see the picture of someone riding a horse galloping in Miyagi.
Lu Zhe has always regarded walking as a kind of sport, and he will gallop on horseback unless necessary, and he is very disgusted with the existence of the man-made sedan chair, thinking that it is the trend of treating people as animals, so the carriage may appear in the palace, but the sedan chair is impossible.
The closer they got to the east tower, the louder the noise became as the distance decreased.
Sima Xin and Ji Bu at the city tower saw Lu Zhe's team coming, and they all went down to the city tower to greet them from afar.
Lu Zhe's team was quite numerous, in addition to the family members, there was a group of civil and military officials in costume, plus the corresponding armor soldiers and maids, at least nearly 3,000 people.
Without any greetings, Sima Xin, as the chief director of the parade, reported on the preparations for the parade phalanx, Ji Bu reported on the security situation in the square, and Shusun Tong, who came over earlier, also reported on the preparations for the ceremony.
After a delay of about a quarter of an hour, Lu Zhe, who had broken his leg with small steps, climbed up the tower with difficulty, and when he just stepped on the tower, a desolate horn broke out, followed by the wrestlers arranged in each section of the city wall dancing huge drumsticks, "Knock-knock-knock-" rhythmically sounded the music of the battle array.
The noise stopped under the music of the slaughtering battle array, and the Qianshou present all stared at the Wang Qi that appeared on behalf of Lu Zhe with wide eyes, and they saw a black figure appear at the city tower, and when they were guessing whether the person was their ruler, the soldiers on the city tower first shouted out the cry of "Wan Sheng", and then the soldiers who maintained the order also shouted, and when the Qian Shou joined, he could still maintain unity at the beginning, and the cry of "Wan Sheng" almost crossed the sky, In the end, the chaos gradually became only deafening cheers.
