After going back, Wang Hongyi went to visit the old lady first, and Zhao Wan was also here.

When the old lady saw him coming back, she ordered a meal to be served, and asked, "I heard that another Taoist temple has been built in the city, and it has something to do with your father-in-law?"

"Yes, but this god is newly built, and the origin is unknown, mother, don't go to worship, you can donate some money. Wang Hongyi said and sat down.

After a while, the dishes were delivered, a plate of fried waist slices, a plate of palace fried chicken, a bowl of chicken soup, hot and fragrant, Wang Hongyi sniffed it, and couldn't help but praise and said: "Good, good!"

The old lady smiled: "Since you said yes, my son will eat more!"

Wang Hongyi dined with everyone, talking and eating, very harmonious, after the meal, I saw the old lady take out a scroll of paintings, and said: "This is a painting sent by your in-laws, for me to celebrate my birthday, you see what this is?"

Wang Hongyi listened, took it to the table and unfolded it, but it was a picture of "Ladies Enjoying the Moon".

I saw a lady, standing sideways, facing the left, a slender waist robe, the length of the dress dragged to the ground, the hem was split forward and backward, the dress was decorated with a curly moire pattern, the lady pulled a bun behind her head, stretched out her hands forward, and clasped her palms together. Above the lady, is a round of bright moon, the end is exquisite, although the picture scroll is very well maintained, but a little yellow, the painting is held with dense seals, this is the mark of the people who have collected it in the past dynasties, it is obviously an extremely precious ancient painting.

Wang Hongyi couldn't help asking: "Whose handwriting is this?"

The old lady thought for a while and said, "According to the person who sent it, it was a painting by Ji Daozhi, a member of the previous dynasty. ”

Wang Hongyi smiled: "My son is not good at identifying, but the Song family sent it, it must be a genuine work, an antique in the prosperous era, gold in the troubled times, this painting is not worth a lot now, if it comes to a peaceful and prosperous era, I am afraid that it will be more than five thousand taels." ”

After thinking about it again, he said: "This is the intention of the Song family, just put it away, our family's inner library is really not much in this regard, and we will collect and accumulate it in the future." ”

Even if he becomes a king and an emperor, the fullness of the inner library is not a matter of one generation or two generations.

After saying this, Wang Hongyi had something to do and ordered Su'er to go with him.

When he arrived at the study, Wang Hongyi commanded: "The major affairs of the country, in the worship and Rong, what do you think of the main ceremony and the silver ceremony?"

Su'er came back to life and inherited the memory of **, and after reading some books for a while, she thought about it right away: "It's always beneficial, right?"

I thought to myself that I would be beneficial to Wang Hongyi.

Wang Hongyi listened, smiled, and said: "Although your words are rough, you are also right, but you still need to read more, especially etiquette." ”

Wang Hongyi said, holding a pen and writing on the paper: "Those who have been canonized in the past dynasties are generally orthodox, even if they are sealed by the previous dynasty, the former dynasty, this is the first principle." ”

"The second point is that the strong are kings, and they have been incense for a long time, or the ancient true gods, those who are powerful, most of them cannot be deposed, as long as this god does not know what to propose and cause chaos, it is not appropriate to abolish it. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi smiled to himself, all politics is based on strength, and Shinto is no exception.

Su'er didn't think much about it, she thought it was true, and said, "What my cousin said was originally right. ”

Wang Hongyi said: "The Book of Rites says: If it is not sacrificed but sacrificed, it is called silver worship, and silver worship is not blessed. In addition, the system of the husband and the holy king is also sacrificed, and the law is applied to the people, and it is worshiped by the death and diligence, and it is worshiped by the labor of the country, and it is worshiped if it can resist the great trouble, and it is worshiped if it can defend the great calamity. ”

This has several meanings, and it is also the norm of Shinto in the future. ”

"First, there is no blessing in the silver ritual, and the folk sacrifice is originally for blessing, but they don't know that many ghosts and gods can't be blessed, so they can't sacrifice - if they can't give blessings, it's not a sacrifice. ”

To put it simply, according to the principle of luck, there is only a low sacrifice to a high position, and there is no reason to sacrifice from a high position to a low position.

Most of the ghosts and gods, the level is lower than that of humans, there is no protection or blessing power at all, when human sacrifices, people's own luck flows to a low place, these ghosts and gods absorb luck like vampires, but they are powerless to repay, so whoever believes in it will break the family, or even die, which is the silver sacrifice must be removed.

Su'er's heart jumped, of course she understood this truth, but she didn't want Wang Hongyi to be clear about it.

"Tao Te Ching: Cultivating in the body, its virtue is true. Cultivating it at home, its virtue is more than that. Cultivating it in the township, its virtue is long. Repair it in the state, its virtue is abundant. Repair it in the world, its De Naip. This is a great good, and it can be used as a reference for the way of Shinto. ”

"The ghost of human death is a yin spirit, and it can only shelter one family at most, so no public sacrifice is allowed except for the sacrifice of children and grandchildren. ”

"The divine power is red, it can shelter a township and a county, and it can not disturb the people, it is the right worship allowed by the county level, but the county order does not allow public sacrifices, so as not to sacrifice high and low, lose luck, and the state only gives the county title, the title is equivalent to the divine power, it is the main sacrifice, and the grace is detrimental to the luck of the court. ”

To put it simply, if the divine power was originally only at the county level, and the imperial court added a higher title, it would be equivalent to using the luck of the imperial court to improve the level of ghosts and gods, how could Wang Hongyi be willing to do this?

"Only when the divine power is red and yellow can you go out of the county, otherwise it will be out of line, detrimental to the people's movement, and cannot be promoted. ”

Of course, Wang Hongyi knew that in order to expand his strength and improve his class, the gods hoped to break free from the shackles of "sacrifice without overlooking" and go to other places to establish shrines.

The so-called "sacrifice does not go beyond the hope", that is, the ghosts and gods sacrificed are not allowed to exceed the scope of the location, which limits the possible surnames of the gods who believe in the world.

However, for lowly powerful gods, expanding their faith on a large scale is equivalent to a silver sacrifice, because it does not have such a high godhead to influence such a large range, so when sacrificing, most of them are solicited, and it is rare to return grace.

This kind of behavior is detrimental to the democratic movement, and the loss of the democratic movement is in fact the loss of the luck of the imperial court.

Hearing this, Su'er couldn't help but feel inexplicable horror, her heart palpitated, and a thin layer of cold sweat oozed from her forehead, she couldn't help herself in a panic, her face became extremely pale, and her thin white fingers were clenched.

She couldn't imagine that Wang Hongyi understood this so thoroughly, and her own divine power, that is, red and yellow, could barely be spread out of the county according to this standard.

"If the color is golden and there are many miracles, it can be sacrificed by the county and listed as a county-level ritual, and those who have made great contributions can be established as a provincial-level ritual. ”

From the perspective of divine power, this is the initial standard for all levels of rituals, but the imperial court has its own disparagement. ”

"Sacrificers, rites, or meritorious parties, or ghosts and gods representing loyalty, filial piety, festivals, righteousness, and benevolence, or those who are in charge of yin and yang, can be sacrificed by the government at all levels every year, so as to imperceptibly spread morality and assist the government to govern the people. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hongyi smiled: "For example, if the dragon girl can adjust the wind and rain, she is a meritorious party, and she can be sacrificed by the county order every year." ”

Su Er listened, and the cold sweat that had just dried off was oozing again, and she didn't know what Wang Hongyi meant.

Wang Hongyi said again: "The fact that God and man govern together, and yin and yang can be used for good governance, is not trivial. However, the vast majority of emperors in all dynasties were opposed to the silver ritual and strictly forbade it. ”

"After Emperor Da Yan Cheng ascended the throne, the prime minister played: all the ancestral halls are 683, and 288 of them should be honored, and there is no clear text in doubt, and the ancestral hall can be enshrined as before. The remaining 475 should not be saluted, or repeated, please stop all. Emperor Cheng said. ”

"The Daji Dynasty forbade the silver rituals, annihilated the palace and fled, and the mountains and rivers of the counties and countries were not in the shrine. In May of the third year of Emperor Wu of Great Chu, all silver rituals were banned, and those not contained in the rituals were removed. ”

All of this is right. Speaking of this, seeing Su'er's face like earth, Wang Hongyi said: "These things are just talking now, if I can be the king of Shu, I will have the reputation and status to rule it." ”

"Now you just need to observe the ghosts and gods in the county and make a list, which will naturally be useful in the future. ”

When Su'er heard this, her heart was both frightened and happy, so she had to respond: "No!"

This is a major event that is the original source, if Wang Hongyi can unify Shuzhong, and entrust her to handle this matter, her authority will be all over the Shuzhong ghost and god realm, if she can succeed, she will have the merit of the ghost god realm, the people, and the small court of the king of Shu at the same time, and will be promoted because of this matter, and the water will be able to grow into the Yuanshen, maybe it can also annex the surrounding branches, and faintly become the big dragon god in Shu.

As for ruling the world, she didn't dare to think about it.

After finishing the matter, Wang Hongyi asked the servant to move the small charcoal stove.

Wang Hongyi was quiet, just waiting for the water in the teapot to boil, the water boiled at the beginning of the slightest loud sound, and after a while, the sound subsided, and the water surface gushed with beads, at this time Su'er stepped forward, lifted the teapot, and poured the water into the tea cup that had already placed the tea leaves, and she covered the lid again, and the lid had a small hole, which could reveal a faint tea fragrance.

Wang Hongyi took it quietly, smelled it first, Su'er saw it, and was affected by this **, it seems, seeing Wang Hongyi's forehead like a mirror, black as lacquer, and his eyes like cold stars, he thought to himself: "I heard that Dayan Taizu is majestic, but he doesn't have such a demeanor and temperament." ”

Wang Hongyi was pondering, the luck of the second county is almost at the top, of course, there is some room for development, but even if it is developed to the extreme, it is only a luck from the fourth grade.

If he can capture the six counties of Dongyizhou, it seems that he can change his name again, after all, the title of General Dingyuan is not very suitable.

If you are a minister, the official of a state is a state pastor or a thorn history, a military general or a general Xuanwei, etc., but as the lord of the people, these official titles are not suitable.

It should be called a knight.

I don't want to be called a king, the king's qi is purple, at least it is appropriate to have a deep purple qi to be called a king, and light purple is okay, but it's a little reluctant.

Qing Qi is the gas of the public weapon, and the national government is the deep green Qi (blue), this public is not a miscellaneous county and county public, and it must be authentic with the name of the country in history.

Shu is the Duke of Shu, which is already a founding system.

Miscellaneous males are light green at most.

But the marquis of the country name, in fact, is also light green, according to the current situation of Wang Hongyi, the seizure of the six counties of Dongyizhou, can be called the marquis of Shu, if you can unify Shu, you can be called the Duke of Shu.

As for the king's name, it is still said that it must have purple qi to be called, otherwise it will not only be not beneficial, but will have some disadvantages.

pondered, but said: "It is said that Wang Jieting has been eight months now, and there is still more than a month to give birth, you go and take a look, come back and tell me." ”

Su'er responded: "Yes, I will visit tomorrow." ”

Wang Hongyi didn't speak again, just slowly tasted tea and passed this time.
