Chapter 789: The People of Guigumen (II)

On the evening of the same day, Gao Yuan held a banquet in the palace to entertain the Guigumen people, and Li Yinghong also attended the banquet and accompanied Gao Yuan to entertain them.

Although the plateau has not yet been officially called the king, he is actually the lord of a country, and it is no different from being called the king, and the people of Guigumen are just ordinary civilians, and setting up a palace in the palace to receive the people of Guigumen has given them great courtesy, so Li Yinghong does not need to come forward, if he wants to be more courteous, let other wives and concubines come out, and pour a circle of wine for everyone.

However, Li Yinghong is not only the wife of the plateau, but also the daughter of Li Mu, Zhao Xuan also has the grace of a half-teacher to her, and has a very deep relationship with Guigu, so it is not too much to come forward with Gao Yuan to entertain the people of Guigumen.

I don't know if Zhao Xuan greeted these Guigu brothers in advance, or if Guiguzi had already instructed them, the Guigu brothers and children also expressed their respect when they saw Gao Yuan, and between their words, they were quite humble, and the etiquette was also very thoughtful, and no one put on a proud face on the plateau, which also made Gao Yuan feel a lot more relieved. It turned out that Gao Yuan was still a little worried that these Guigumen people would hold their own identities, be arrogant and arrogant, and make it difficult for them to command and dispatch them, but now it seems that he is a little too worried.

In fact, this group of Guigumen people are very modest and cautious, on the one hand, they are indeed instructed by Guigumen, and on the other hand, they are indeed from the heart, in fact, Guigumen people are not as arrogant as Gao Yuan imagined.

It turns out that since Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Su Qin and other Guigu disciples became famous all over the world, many people called themselves Guigu disciples in order to raise their worth, and as a result, many Guigu disciples appeared in the world, and everyone said that they were real Guigu brothers, others were fake, and they were very hard, but whether they were real or fake Guigu brothers, as long as they got the trust of the master, they would often take away a lot of money and disappear without a trace.

Therefore, soon the reputation of the Guigu brother and wife became extremely bad, and many kings and ministers immediately ordered people to drive him away as soon as they heard that it was the Guigu brother. As a result, some real Guigu Sect people did not dare to report that they were disciples of Guigu, like Li Mu studied in Guigu, but after he came out of Zhao Kingdom, he never told others that he was a real Guigu disciple.

Later, Gao Yuan learned that the name of the Guigu was originally stinky, in fact, it was planned by the Guigu at that time, because after Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Zhang Yi, Gongsun Yan, Su Qin and others became famous, the name of the Guigu brother and daughter was in the middle of the day, but the Guigu at that time was very pure and the truth that things must be reversed, and the name of the Guigu brother and child was too prosperous, and there was no benefit to the Guigu, which not only made the Guigu a target of public criticism, but also easy for the Guigu people to develop an arrogant and arrogant character. Therefore, Guigu came up with this trick to disgrace his name, and he really succeeded in fading the name of Guigu out of the eyes of the world. There is no one who pretends to be a ghost valley brother anymore and deceives him.

The vast majority of this group of Guigumen people only knew that they had become Guigumen people after they got started, so there was really nothing to be arrogant about.

Seventy-three Guigumen people are of different ages, ranging from seventeen or eighteen to their fifties, but on the whole, the second-generation people are obviously older, most of them are over thirty years old, and some look less than thirty years old, and they all look like they are twenty-seven or eight; Almost all of the three generations of men are under the age of 30, and there are five or six young people who seem to be less than 20 years old, all of whom are third-generation men, and it is estimated that they have all been sent out not long after they started.

Of course, now the people of Guigumen are still dominated by the second generation of people, and these twelve second-generation people are: Ji Ziyu, Ji Bochang, Rong Chenggong, Chi Xiaofu, Sang Wenjin, Shi Wuguang, Qu Xian, Hong Zhong, Chang Youbo, Feng Anqi, Wen Bin, Qiu Ming Ziying. Zhao Xuan introduced Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong to each other, and greeted each other.

Gao Yuan greeted everyone on the one hand, and also paid attention to everyone, the two people at the head, Ji Ziyu and Ji Bochang were both over fifty years old, with a long beard, and their eyes were full of essence, both of them had the bearing of cultivating both inside and outside, and it seemed that even if they were not as good as Zhao Xuan, they were not too far behind. Except for Shi Wuguang and Chang Youbo, everyone else is a martial arts practitioner, and their martial arts are not weak, even if they can't reach the level of the five god generals, they can at least have a place among the ten generals, and there are three women among them, namely the fifth-ranked Sang Wenjin, the seventh-ranked Qu Xian, and the twelfth-ranked Qiu Ming Ziying.

Ji Ziyu and Ji Bochang are obviously also the leaders of this group of Guigu disciples, and after Zhao Xuan finished introducing the twelve second-generation disciples, the two of them introduced the three generations of Guigu to the plateau, and the plateau also respected the third-generation disciples very much, and still greeted them one by one, and said: Welcome to Lingshou. And the observation of the plateau, among the three generations of people, there are indeed a few people with good potential, it seems that although the number of these Guigumen people is not much, the quality is still good.

After everyone finished the ceremony, more than half an hour passed, and everyone took their seats, and the palace maids and attendants brought up all kinds of Lai food and wine one by one, and poured the wine jue full of wine.

Gao Yuan stood up, raised the wine lord, and said: "Thanks to the light of the teacher of Guigu, all the wise men can not think of Lingshou is simple, and deign to come, now I am here is the time to employ people, I believe that you can find your own place in Lingshou, make the best use of their talents, make contributions, come to please drink this cup, in order to express my heart." ”

Everyone also stood up together, raised the wine jue, and drank all the wine contained in the jue.

Ji Xiaoyu said: "Wu Anjun is too talkative, we are just some mountain village savages, I really don't dare to call ourselves a wise man, and I have heard the name of Wu Anjun for a long time, but there is still a famous king, I can get the teacher's recommendation and serve Wu Anjun, it is really my luck, not to mention that Wu Anjun is under the command of many capable ministers, how dare we be disrespectful, so please Wu Anjun does not have to think of the teacher, if it is useful to us, please send it, we will do our best to serve Wu Anjun." ”

Gao Yuan nodded, although Ji Xiaoyu's words were modest words, they still sounded very pleasant, and it was Gao Yuan's decision to use Zhao Xuan's Jianyì, so that these Guigumen people would start from the grassroots first, and then reward their merits and deeds.

So Gao Yuan raised his wine glass again, toasted to the people of Guigumen again, and a team of singers came up, dancing in the middle of the lobby to help the wine, so this time the wine banquet was also dispersed.

In the following days, Gao Yuan was very busy, on the one hand, he had to deal with government affairs, and on the other hand, he had to prepare for his own royal ceremony. The main thing is to rehearse a few times in advance so that there are no big mistakes during the formal ceremony. Although Gao Yuan knew that the etiquette of being a king was very complicated, he did not have a correct understanding, and only then did he know that it was indeed too troublesome.

First of all, the items used to call the king, including the crown of the plateau, the royal clothes, jade belts, shoes, swords, etc., are all according to a certain size system, as well as the crowns used by wives and concubines, royal clothes, etc., are all customized, and they are not sloppy at all.

In addition, there are also the carriages of the plateau, the horses that pull the carriages, the covers, the executions, the accompanying armor, the weapons used, the flags, etc., because the king's carriage is all four horses, and the coat color and body shape of the horses are required to be the same, so the plateau's mount Chilong obviously cannot be used as a horse, and the accompanying armor is also required to be of equal height to ensure that it is neat and consistent in the march.

In addition, there are more than 50 procedures for the whole ceremony, and there are quite a lot of regulations, and even the length of the pace and the number of steps have detailed requirements, which almost catch up with the standards of the military parade in later generations. At the first rehearsal, Gao Yuan felt awkward everywhere and tirelessly, and later, under Gao Yuan's forced requirements, he finally deleted more than a dozen less important procedures, and also ignored some details that were too detailed.

As a result, Tian Zifang, a Confucian scholar who almost presided over the ceremony of claiming the title of king on the plateau, was so angry that he didn't do it, because Confucianism values these etiquettes the most, and every procedure is sacrosanct, and it has a basis, a reason, and a history.

However, the plateau is also not giving an inch, if Tian Zifang doesn't do it, it's a big deal to change people, if it doesn't work, let Chun Yubo come up, and his father-in-law will never get along with himself for these red tape.

Under the strong requirements of the plateau, Tian Zifang could only give in, although the plateau had an equal attitude towards all the children, and allowed him to freely lecture and educate people in Daijun, and also imitated the school Jixia School Palace, and opened the Tai Academy, but the national strength was limited, and the scale was far less than that of the Jixia School Palace.

Tian Xiaofang was originally a Confucian master of Zhao State, in Zhao State is quite famous, after the fall of Zhao State, he fled to Daijun with the Zhao family, after entering Daijun on the plateau, invited him to teach in Tai Academy, and became the number one scholar of Confucianism in Daijun area.

However, the influence of Confucianism in Daijun is not great, because the concept of governing the country implemented by the plateau is similar to that of Qin, which is dominated by Legalist thought, but it is milder than Qin in terms of the means of the body, so there is still a place for Confucianism in Daijun, and it is not completely Confucian-free like Qin.

And Tian Zifang is naturally unwilling to be overwhelmed by Confucianism, so he tried his best to expand the influence of Confucianism in Daijun, this time to be able to preside over the crown ceremony of the plateau, for Confucianism, it is naturally a great opportunity to expand its influence, Tian Zifang naturally does not want to let go lightly, if this task is lost because of these things, it is really worth thinking, as a result, Tian Xiaofang also had to make a compromise to the plateau in the ritual procedure. In fact, Confucian scholars are not really stubborn, and many people are actually very flexible.
