Chapter 401: Han Dynasty Etiquette
"In the past, the people of Zheng used dry rats as uncensored jade and sold them to Zhou people; the foolish men of Song also used Yan stone as treasures, and the tenth level of Tishao. Those who saw them covered their mouths and laughed. Most of the gentlemen of the gentlemen were like this. "The Zuo Family" actually said that although there were concubines from a great country, they did not abandon bad people, which was probably used to replace scarcity. Therefore, they dared to show their bad talents and attached them to Mingzhe. Although they did not have enough regulations to regulate the country and promote the times, they could provide them with the holy listening. I hope that your Majesty would spend time and read them casually."
Liu Xie was overjoyed when he heard this and praised him: "I am very knowledgeable, very familiar with the rules and regulations, and have many works, which are very good. I will ask you to take your works. You should read them carefully and gain something."
Ying Shao paused for a moment when he heard this, and then replied: "I heard that after I moved the capital to Xu County, the old chapters were gone and rarely existed. I wrote the book "Han Official Etiquette", which involved the imperial system and the official scriptures. I would like to review it."
After saying that, Ying Shao took out the book "Han Official Etiquette" in his arms and handed it to the eunuch. The eunuch took a few more steps and presented it to Liu Xie. Liu Xie looked around and saw that the book was full of official etiquette, court meetings, suburban sacrifices, feudal ancestry, tomb regulations, and old practices of various government agencies, and was even more happy.
Since Liu Xie was forced to escape from Chang'an, experienced risks and moved to Xudu, books on these aspects have been lost. Now Cao Cao is in charge of the government and is still respectful to him, the imperial dignity is much weaker than before. If he can recover, it will be a great joy.
Ying Shao looked up and saw the emperor's face with joy, so he stepped forward and said, "Emperor, Confucius said, "No one is good at governing the people, and no one is good at changing customs and customs. The Zhou Dynasty advocated literature and respected etiquette, and accumulated a complex and rich etiquette system for a long time, which was later compiled into the "Li of Zhou". By the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the princes were usurped, and the world was quarreled, and the rituals collapsed and music broke out. After Emperor Gaozu established his capital Chang'an, the ministers drank and competed for merit, drunk or shouted, drew their swords and hit the pillars, and Emperor Gaozu was worried about it."
"Gaozu then ordered Shusun Tong, a doctor who was well-versed in ancient rituals to formulate court rituals. When the princes and ministers congratulated Emperor Liu Bang, they must act according to the etiquette, otherwise they would be punished. Gaozu felt the supreme authority of the emperor and rewarded Shusun Tong with many gifts. The students who followed Shusun Tong to practice Confucianism also felt great glory, calling his master Shusun Tong the reincarnation of the saint."
Liu Xie was very smart. After hearing Ying Shao say this, he laughed and said, "You are the uncle of today. You are collecting and organizing Hanyi and spending a lot of effort to prove your loyalty to the Han Dynasty. You deserve to be rewarded!"
Ying Shao hurriedly refused: "This is really my heart, not for reward."
Liu Xie smiled and said, "I know that I treat me sincerely, and I should repay you. However, the new dynasty was first built here, and the cost was not sufficient. I would like to reward you with a hundred taels of silver to express my feelings."
Ying Shao hurriedly knelt down and thanked, "Thank you Lord, Longyou~~"
I know what happens next, and listen to the next chapter to explain it.
