Spring and Autumn I Am King

When the Marquis of Jin traveled with the ceremonial guards, it was the whole army of Jin palace armors who opened the way. They were all burly and strong. Most of them wear crowns, wear exquisite black leather armor, hold sparrows, hold blessings, or Qibians, hold ge and upper blade.

Immediately after that, there was a gorgeous and solemn chariot with a horse and a horse. It was made of hardwood, covered with bronze components, and had a canopy. The carriage was loaded with solemn Yi vessels, the Qi Yue (yue) representing military power, and the Tong bow representing cutting, all of which were the "Hou Bo" ritual vessels that Zhou Tianzi gave to the Marquis of Jin over hundreds of years.

The young monarch stood in the middle of the carriage, wearing a car uniform for the slogan and an article for the bright, and was leaning on the railing and looking straight ahead.

The teenagers were in military uniforms, so they didn't need to kneel and bow to the head. All they needed to do was bow and salute. Wu Shi was in front of the tall Wei Ju. He didn't have time to look closely at the appearance of the Marquis of Jin.

Behind the chariot was a mighty entourage: Yousi held a banner decorated with crossed dragons, a bow with a dragon flag, and a bow-filled sleeve. There are even historians with briefs and pen in their arms. The big shooting instrument is an important political ceremony, and everything that happened must be recorded one by one.

"The monarch is very good-looking..." But after the car passed, Zhang Mengtan, who was beside him, sighed softly.

Zhao Wuxi was a little strange, "This is also the first time Zhang Zi has seen the monarch, how can he know his temperament?"

Zhang Mengtan said slowly: "The big shooting ceremony was only held in the capital city of Pan Palace. Back then, the first emperor, Duke Wen of Jin, had a large cloth and sheep clothes, and he could come by a plain cart with ten soldiers. Now, the monarch takes the road. The chariot, Qi Yue, Tong Gong and other important treasures are all with you, a gentleman should not see more than a hundred tigers, half of them are private ministers borrowed from Liu Qing."

"So that's the case..." Zhao Wuqi silently looked at the gorgeous guard of honor entering the Pan Palace, and thoughtfully, Zhang Mengtan had the ability to read people's hearts at a glance, and what he said made sense to Zhao Wuqi.

Accompanying the monarch, there was also the upper army Zuo Zhisong, who was wearing a long crown in the court dress, and Han Buxin, the lower army general.

After the Marquis of Jin and the two officials were present, the big shooting instrument began to get to the point.

In ancient times, when the princes shot, they must first perform the Yan ceremony. Before the big shot, the swallows drink the swallows, accept the guests, present the guests, entertain the guests, play music and sing to entertain the guests, and then shoot after the feast.

The king got out of the car and went to the hall, took his seat, facing west. The junior ministers led the ministers and officials in, and sat on the right side of the door, facing north. The teenagers who participated in the shooting ceremony sat on the west side, facing east, facing the king's field of vision.

As a concubine, Zhao Wuxi, who was sitting in the second row, was also quietly watching the nominal supreme ruler of Jin.

I saw that the young Marquis of Jin was sixteen or seventeen years old, with a white face and no beards, and his appearance was quite dignified, but he looked thin with thin arms and legs, and was a little weak. He wears a leather tassels, a tunic suit, and is decorated with nine chapters.

Zhao Wuxi heard that when Jin Wu was young, because of the early death of Duke Heng of Jin, he was supported by the six ministers including Fan and Zhi to inherit the throne. It has been eight years since then. He sat in the chairman's seat and glanced at the teenagers.

The "shooter" who was in charge of the preparations for the Great Archery Ceremony reported to the monarch that everything was in order, and asked the monarch to designate the guest of honor for the archery ceremony, that is, the host of the ceremony.

Jin Houwu's eyes drifted over Zhi and Han Erqing.

It was supposed to be Zuo Zhisong, the higher-ranking army, as the guest of honor, but he was the first to refuse, so the Marquis of Jin said: "The army commander who is alone is the guest of honor."

Han Buxin, also known as Han Hu's grandfather, looks like a modest gentleman, with gray hair hanging down, a high crown and a jade robe on his waist.

After receiving the order, Han Buxin left the table and walked in a little, salutes and said goodbye. The messenger told the monarch what he had said, and the monarch again ordered Han not to believe the guest of honor. Han Buxin only accepted the order after performing the prostration twice.

Next, it is Yanyin. The monarch wants to entertain the archers, that is, the sons and daughters of the nobles and the doctor. The food is relatively simple, just dried meat, minced meat, rice, rice, etc. Zhao Wuxi became the wheat flour produced in the township, and it may take some time before it can be included in the monarch's recipe.

After the Yanyin was over, dozens of musicians sang a piece of music called "Si Xia", which is the so-called "Si Xia" in May, the day of the salute.

The guest of honor, Han Buxin, chose the concubine doctor of Pangong as the chief archer of Qin, and then went to the front of the steps with a bow and arrow to ask for the salute to start, and asked Yousi to present the bow and arrow to the king for inspection.

Jin Houwu glanced at random and replied, "But..."

At this point, the big shooting ceremony officially started.

Ji Qin, who was temporarily serving as Si She, asked his aide Deng Fei to set up a scoreboard for calculating grades.

And let the "shooter" measure the size in the middle of the two couplets, and use red or black lacquer ink to draw a horizontal and a vertical cross mark as the place for the archery to stand.

After everything was arranged properly, Ji Qin began to read out the rules of the shooting ceremony: "The emperor has an order, and the first son of Qing and the second son of Qing are coupled.

Coupling means a pair. There must be a comparison in the shooting ceremony, so the two are used as a group to start a contest.

Ji Qin faced west again and told Taishi, who was in charge of describing the incident: "The doctor shot the cloth decorated with leopards and elks; the scholar shot the cloth decorated with emeralds, and the shooter did not shoot the one he should shoot. Cloth~www.wuxiahere.com~ A shot doesn't count."

Taishi recorded them one by one in the pamphlet. Then, Han Buxin presented the names of the eight people who participated in the shooting ceremony, and asked the monarch to match the four pairs in person.

Although Jin Houwu had been a monarch for eight years and lived in the Xiuqi Palace, his temperament was still that of a teenage boy. Looking at the eight names on the lacquer plate, his eyes kept beating on it, and suddenly a prank idea came to his mind.

Being forced by Liu Qing for many years, and occasionally teasing them without a trace, is probably the only pleasure of Jin Houwu. At the last winter solstice meeting, the general Zhao Yang showed disbelief and anger when Song Xingren Le Qi was arrested, which made Jin Houwu very interesting.

It wasn't that he hated the Zhao family, but Zhibo suggested so, so Jin Houwu could only pretend to be confused and do what he wanted. Because, when his father Jin Zhaogong died, he once touched his hand and told him that among the six ministers, only the Zhi clan could be relied upon.

What's more, the harder the six ministers fought with each other, the Marquis of Jin felt that the more likely he was to restore the authority of the monarch in the future.

However, the battle between him and the Fan and Zhao families that Zhisong was looking forward to did not start, which greatly disappointed the Marquis of Jin. In recent months, the children of the two families have been playing very lively in the Pan Palace, but unfortunately, I can't be there to watch.

However, there is an opportunity today.

So, he smiled, stretched out his hand, and quickly chose a match.

Han Buxin took it over and took a look, secretly thinking that it was not good, but the monarch had already chosen it himself, and Han Buxin had no choice but to ask Yousi to announce the result to everyone present.
