Three Kingdoms

Strictly speaking, the Southern Xiongnu cannot be called a credential, because in fact the Southern Xiongnu has become a vassal of the Han Dynasty, so it can only be called a book making or an imperial edict.

However, because the Xiongnu and the Han Dynasty had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, according to the previous custom, the Han people did not think it was a big deal to call them their credentials. Perhaps Liu Bang himself was a gangster leader, so he did not Like later dynasties, they were so literal-minded, but everyone knows that the current Xiongnu and the original Xiongnu are no longer the same thing.

It may sound awkward to say, but it is an irreversible fact.

Just like how Cai Yong now borrowed the land of Pingyang to confer the title of Xiongnu, it has changed from a "meeting" ceremony to a "go to" ceremony. But for Yu Fuluo, he may not understand it very well. Even if he understands it, he may not care. In his eyes, it is enough to get the canonization. As for other aspects, they are all trivial.

When the Han Dynasty was strong, South Vietnam, the Xiongnu, and the Western Regions of Yarkand, Yutian and other countries sent envoys to pay homage. It is recorded in the history books that during the reign of Emperor Wu, “foreign objects from all directions came from all directions.” “Pearls, Wenjia, Tongxi, and Cuiyu were filled with treasures in the harem. At the Yellow Gate, huge elephants, masters, ferocious dogs, and large birds are eating outside."

Emperor Wu "set up wine pools and meat groves for visitors from all over the world, wrote "Bayu", "Dulu", "Dangji in the Sea", and staged fish and dragon and horn plays to watch; and bribed legacy It’s a gift, it’s sent thousands of miles away, and the cost of the division’s journey is immeasurable.”

Now, everything is simplified, but simplification is simplification, and the steps are still the same.

First is "precept", I won't mention this anymore, then "lao", that is, Cai Yong sent Fei Qian to express condolences on behalf of the emperor, and then the ceremony was held within the determined day, and Yu Fuluo "entered" first , Cai Yong "asked" on behalf of the emperor. After all these links were over, he finally "edicted". Cai Yong, on behalf of the emperor, awarded Yu Fuluo the position of Chanyu of the Huns in the South. Yu Fuluo finally got the long-awaited canonization. .

Originally, in this series of ritual music, each stage was different. For example, when Fu Luo "entered" at the beginning, the sound of golden threads was used, when "asking", chime stone accompaniment was used, and then in "asking" When "Edict" is heard, it is necessary to use the music of bells and drums...

But where can Feiqian find musicians who know these formal pieces of music? Therefore, although there are many steps, these details can only be simplified.

Fei Qian and others naturally stood together to watch the ceremony as guests. There were also many people from the Southern Huns who came to watch the ceremony, including Huchuquan and some other big and small leaders. They were probably representatives of various tribes following Yufuluo. figure.

Others didn't understand it very well, but Jia Qu was quite clear about this ritual and music, so he kept suppressing his laughter until after the whole ceremony was over, he saw Yu Fuluo leaving surrounded by cheers from the Southern Xiongnu tribe. Then, when large and small bonfires were raised outside Pingyang City and a grand celebration ceremony was held, he chuckled and shook his head.

Everyone didn't know the reason, so they couldn't help but look at Jia Qu. Jia Qu cupped his hands and explained: "Hu people don't know etiquette and music, so it's ridiculous."

Fei Qian nodded, also smiled, and said: "Hu people value practical benefits. As long as this Shanyu's name is in their hands, any rituals and music will be fine..." This matter of rituals and music seems to be quite serious to the Han people. , especially people with obsessive-compulsive disorder, who simply can't bear it, but in Yufuluo's eyes, it's not a big deal.

And about this matter, Fei Qian did not hide it from Yu Fuluo. He had told Yu Fuluo before that Pingyang was full of waste and there was no way to find relevant people for rituals and music. Either he had to wait for a while and go to Hedong. To round up the number of musicians, or Yu Fuluo to make up for it...

In the end, Yu Fuluo had no objection at all, and simply said that he could just give the book of canonization without the ritual music...

Fei Qian thought, suddenly stopped, and his heart moved slightly.

Although it was a joke that Fu Luo was ignorant of etiquette, from another perspective, the Hu people had just grasped the most important factor. Are rituals and music important when canonizing a Chanyu? No, the most important thing is the volume of the emperor's writings that is now enshrined in Fuluo...

Jia Qu's words may have been unintentional, but they aroused Fei Qian's thoughts.

Strictly speaking, a book making will not bring about much change for the time being. The Southern Xiongnu Royal Court Meiji is still no longer in the hands of Fuluo, and the part of the Southern Xiongnu who split and rebelled will not be canonized by the Han Dynasty because of Fuluo. , you can immediately kneel down and surrender, tie your hands and surrender.

Could it be that Yu Fuluo didn't know that this conferment was just a false name, and there was still a long way to go before regaining Meiji from the royal court of the Southern Huns?

No, on the contrary, Yu Fuluo knew very well that what he was happy about now was that he had finally obtained an orthodox name that could be accepted by everyone!

Although it may not be able to change the entire war situation immediately, Yu Fuluo can use this canonization to better command the large and small tribes around him.

Therefore, when it comes to Fei Qian himself, it seems that he should not passively accept it and give in step by step...

Using the name of the military camp to avoid compilation and using the name of Cai Yong to preserve the academy. Although this method is not impossible, it still feels a little aggrieved!

Bingzhou governor...

What is the significance of this position?

Confessing a Bingzhou governor, does it mean that you can control Bingzhou?

Just like Yu Fuluo was canonized by the Chanyu of the Southern Huns, does that mean he can control Meiji?

Not necessarily?

So what should you do?

Fei Qian took a few steps outside and thought for a while. Jia Qu and Xu Shu looked at each other and followed Fei Qian.

The current Han Dynasty is different from the past. The orders of the central court have gradually lost their effect on the local level. The increasingly large local gentry has replaced the authority of the dynasty. But in turn, what is extremely interesting is that the maintenance of The last pillar of this dynasty that was on the verge of collapse but would not collapse immediately was in the minds of these local nobles.

The gentry were poaching the corners of the Han Dynasty, while at the same time trying to maintain the majesty of the royal family as much as possible. This kind of contradiction and unity is being staged at this stage during the Three Kingdoms period. On the one hand, local forces fight each other, and each has its own object of allegiance; On the other hand, if anyone infringes on the Liu family's throne, they will immediately attack him with verbal and written criticism...

In the current Han Dynasty, or the early Three Kingdoms period, Fei Qian suddenly felt that this situation was so similar to the Warring States Period!

So in this case, there is something that can be used...
