359 The eve of the storm
"The man set up an arc on the left side of the door, don't you know which side is on the left?"
"Yes, that's it, yes, that's it!"
Wang Wu stood under the door of the side room, and in front of the door, a servant stood on a ladder, holding a hard bow with exquisite shape, hanging on the eaves of the side room door.
In the room, Xiao Guogong, wearing an exquisite brocade robe, was sleeping soundly on the bed, and there was an exquisite white jade halberd beside him.
At some point, Li Xiu had already appeared outside the door and watched the scene commanded by Wang Wu.
This seemingly unintelligible action is naturally a ritual custom of this era.
Zisheng has the birth ceremony, the three dynasty ceremony, the full moon ceremony, the hundred-day ceremony, and the first year ceremony.
Like the birth ceremony in front of you.
Then he gave birth to a man, a bed with a bed, a dress with a dress, and a slate with a slap.
It means that if you give birth to a boy, let him sleep in bed, wear gorgeous clothes, and play with white jade slate for him, which means you attach importance to men and yearn for the future.
Then I gave birth to a woman, where I carried my sleep, where I carried my clothes, and how I played my tiles.
There is also the hanging bow in front of the door in front of you, which has its own unique features. Since ancient times, bows and jeans have been some distinctive gender representatives.
The man sets an arc on the left side of the door, and the woman sets an arc on the right side of the door.
It is also a kind of birth ceremony, aiming to show the gender to the guests who come to visit.
Each of these rituals has its own unique meaning, unique civilizational beauty, and is full of the unique cultural heritage characteristics of this nation.
The existence of this Chinese civilization is also intertwined by seemingly inconspicuous rituals, forming the soul of this civilization.
In this way, even though Li Xiu never likes red tape, he still attaches great importance to these etiquettes.
To be precise, these rituals full of civilization and beauty, and these rituals that are more powerful than the secular scent, are the foundation of this national culture, and this foundation is the most important reason why this nation has lasted for thousands of years and has suffered countless disasters, but has always been able to reunite.
Without this ceremony, the Chinese civilization based on ceremony will lose its soul.
Even if a civilization without soul is strong for a while, it is only strong for a while. Once it declines, it will soon disappear into the long river of history.
For example, the collapse of rituals and music in the Zhou Dynasty caused a substantial division for hundreds of years.
Until Qin unified the world, books and texts and chariots and tracks were on the same track, barely putting this nation together again, but even with the power of Qin, it would be difficult to stop the forced backlash. The First Emperor collapsed, the Six Kingdoms rebelled, Qin and the Second Emperor died.
If it weren't for the Han Dynasty after Qin, which used Confucianism to reshape the etiquette and cultural heritage of this nation, the cultural concept of great unification of this civilization was initially laid.
Therefore, those who have been in power in all dynasties attach great importance to etiquette.
Li Xiu naturally attached importance to those who were in power in the world, and set an example by example. This is not only a great gift, but also a meticulous little gift.
By the early morning, this street full of powerful people was already alarmed by the hustle and bustle of the Duke of Qin's Mansion. There was no need to even inquire about it. The servants of Duke of Qin's Mansion were carrying festive things and reporting good news one by one.
With the news of the good news from one family after another, the news of the birth of the Qin Duke's Mansion and the Little Duke spreading rapidly like the wind.
In Sun's Mansion, Sun Chuanting looked at the things that the Qin Gong's Mansion brought by his servants, and never said anything for a long time.
After a long time, Sun Chuanting slowly spoke: "Has the three-sided governor arrived at the Qin Gong Mansion?"
"Report to the master, the three-sided governor entered Beijing at night and arrived at Duke Qin's mansion this morning."
"It's coming...it's coming..."
Sun Chuanting murmured softly, and the gloomy eyes became even deeper.
The servant stood aside. Although he didn't understand what this sentence meant, his tone alone made his heart tremble, as if a disaster was coming.
"Prepare and wait to enter the palace later."
Finally, Sun Chuanting said softly, then slowly turned around and walked into the mansion.
At this time, in the Beijing-Taifang camp, Lu Xiangsheng, who received the news, seemed to have taken off a thousand pounds of burden and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
He slowly put down the military affairs in his hand, got up and put on an inconspicuous cloth robe, and then tidied up his clothes before the bronze mirror.
Then he returned to the seat and sat down. He had never handled military affairs anymore, and just sat upright, as if waiting for something.
Time passed by little by little, and at some point, a burst of rapid footsteps came outside the door. Immediately afterwards, a man in a servant dressed in a servant pushed the door in. The man bowed to Lu Xiangsheng and said softly.
"Sir, please come over."
"knew."
Lu Xiangsheng was obviously not surprised at all, and stood up directly. As the servants came out of the side door of the commander-in-chief of the personal army, they sat in a sedan chair, and quietly walked from the commander-in-chief of the personal army toward the palace.
In Dongchang, after learning the news, Cao Huachun was speechless for a long time, and his expression was extremely complicated.
"Fifth brother, what's wrong with you?"
In the hall, Cao Huachun, the eldest brother Cao Huachun, asked in confusion when he saw him like this.
"It is a great joy to be born in the little king. Although the relationship between the Queen Mother and Qin Gong is now stiff, you must not be bad for the Qin Gong because of this!"
Cao Huayu also followed and spoke.
Listening to the words of the two brothers, Cao Huachun couldn't help but sigh heavily. After a long time of silence, he looked at the two brothers in front of him: "Brother, second brother, you leave the capital, the further you go, the better!"
"Hide your name and never expose your relationship with your younger brother!"
After this statement, Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu's expressions changed. Then, the eldest brother Cao Huachun frowned and said, "Fifth brother, is this serious?"
Cao Huachun shook his head and said nothing, but his expression was extremely sad.
Seeing this, Cao Huachun said again: "Fifth brother, since that's the case, let's go together!"
Cao Huayu: "Yes, let's go together. Over the years, we have accumulated a lot of family belongings. Wherever we go, our three brothers can live well."
"You guys go, I can't go!"

"Fifth brother, if you don't leave, you're the brother, how can you leave your brother alone?"
"If you don't leave, we won't leave!"
Seeing the two equally determined brothers, Cao Huachun almost prayed:
"Let's go quickly. If it's too late, I can't leave. Our Cao family cannot be cut off in this capital!"
"Brother, second brother, don't think about yourself, but also think about a few nephews, and think about our old Cao family!"
"If we don't leave, none of us can survive! Our Cao family will have no descendants!"
Cao Huachun, who had been suppressed for too long, finally broke out at this moment. After venting, Cao Huachun seemed to have a few years older, and was depressed, and waved his hand powerlessly: "I have prepared the household registration route. No one can find out. Take care of my two brothers!"
After saying that, Cao Huachun dragged his heavy body and walked towards the back hall step by step, leaving Cao Huachun and Cao Huayu standing there in awkwardly.
...
In the mourning hall in the palace, in front of Chongzhen's coffin, Wang Chengen had been kneeling down for a long time, and had also been talking to himself for a long time, as if the late emperor was still there, Wang Chengen reported the changes and situation of the government little by little.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Qin has a queen, he is a boy..."
"Your Majesty, you are not wrong with Duke Qin. I can see that Duke Qin really wants to make the Ming Dynasty better..."
"I think that many things are involuntarily, the Empress Dowager is, and the Qin Gong is..."
"But... Your Majesty... The Empress Dowager is completely paranoid. The old slave is incompetent and can't persuade the Empress!"
Wang Chengen was already in tears and cried loudly in front of the Chongzhen coffin.
"I'm incompetent, Your Majesty..."
In the end, Wang Chengen wiped the tears from his face and kowtowed violently: "I have lost my composure, so please forgive me."
"Your Majesty, don't worry, even if I fight for this life, I will save Your Majesty's blood..."
