Because the jade pendant was given by the First Emperor himself, Zhao Si could theoretically show the jade pendant to enter and exit the palace without waiting for inspection.
But Zhao Si still waited obediently. Entering the palace for etiquette training was not an urgent matter.
Zhao Si has been busy studying these days, but he doesn't know that with the orders given by the First Emperor, the whole of Xianyang started to move.
Zhao Si's return from overseas is not a secret matter. Big bosses with first-hand information channels know that Lantian Camp is growing new overseas grains, but the yield has not been determined yet.
Until the first trial budget harvest six days ago, the expected output of three new grains far exceeded common sense and instantly caused a sensation.
The First Emperor had no intention of suppressing this kind of matter, and immediately ordered Meng Yi to prepare to summon civil and military officials to pray for the mountains and rivers, to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth, and to communicate matters to various counties and counties.
Zhao Si has been studying in seclusion for the past few days. The entire Xianyang City has been in chaos. Some people are happy and some are sad. Not everyone in Qin can smile from the bottom of his heart when he gets this new food.
For those who love the Qin Dynasty, this is of course a great good thing. It is a great good thing. The three new grains are the auspiciousness sent from heaven.
For the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the First Emperor's unabashed public opinion offensive and the terrifying yield of new grains made them as widowed as Wu Zetian - losing Li Zhi.
The First Emperor struck hard and crushed the general trend. It was necessary to build momentum. New crops were harvested. Naturally, the bigger the scene, the better, the more sensational the better, and the wider the spread, the better.
It is necessary to clearly put the three new grains in front of everyone in the world and tell them that the destiny lies with Qin!
At present, not only civil and military officials, but also hundreds of prominent figures from nearby families are rushing to Xianyang in a hurry, wanting to see the harvest.
After all, the momentum has been so great that who wouldn’t want to come and join in the fun and get a glimpse of the real auspiciousness?
Different from the previous messy auspicious signs like a white-haired tiger, a three-legged pheasant, and a python wrapped around its head, this is food!
It is the foundation of the people and the foundation of the country!
If the output is true, then it is genuine and uncompromising, an auspicious sign that everyone in the world can recognize. The white-haired tiger can only be seen by Qin Shihuang himself. Three new grains have been promoted but everyone can eat them, including the Six Nations. The remnants.
Zhao Si, as the key man in bringing back auspiciousness, will naturally also appear.
Although Zhao Si can only serve as a foil in this grand scene, getting the ticket is already a status symbol.
It's a pity that Zhao Si doesn't know etiquette.
The small gifts for personal friends in daily life are fine. Zhao Si imitated them in Lantian Camp and are almost familiar with them.
But in such a grand scene, not to mention salutes, there are also details on how to walk, where to walk, and how big a step to take. Zhao Si must undergo training to avoid making jokes.
Zhao Si was thrown into the palace...
The person responsible for the surprise training of Zhao Si was a Confucian scholar.
It is normal that although Confucianism lost to Legalism, as a prominent school, Confucianism did not decline with the death of Chun Yuyue. On the contrary, Chun Yuyue's death gained more status for Confucianism.
Legalism just took the lead in the turmoil and twists and turns of the unification of the world.
Zhao Si has no prejudice against Confucianism. Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, these sages are all worthy of recognition. The status of Confucianism as a prominent scholar is not just a boast, it is a real fight with hundreds of schools of thought.
Confucianism must be treated separately. Confucianism in each period and in various schools cannot be generalized.
At the very least, the Confucian scholars who trained Zhao Si in etiquette must be able to live up to the title of gentleman, behave in a measured manner, neither flattering nor arrogant. In speaking, they have profound knowledge of classics and meanings. At the same time, they are also very willing to discuss books with Zhao Si, and even talk to Zhao Si after taking a break. I took the initiative to talk to Zhao Si about "Five Worms", and I didn't have much prejudice when it came to Han Feizi.
The refutation of Han Feizi's views is also well-founded and well-organized, rather than arrogant.
"Me? Shusun Tongye!"
The Confucian scholar smiled and told Zhao Si his name. Shusuntong's whole person gave Zhao Si a rather retro feeling, both in his behavior and in his thoughts.
This person can really implement Confucianism into his daily life, and he can treat the humble palace and the high-ranking officials equally.
Zhao Si has been training etiquette with Shusun Tong these days and has learned a lot.
However, the brief intersection between the two will end here.
Four days passed in a blink of an eye, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day of auspicious harvest.
Before dawn, Zhao Si was already waiting in front of the palace gate.
The entire palace was brightly lit, the soldiers were waiting with their arms folded, and the palace people were lined up neatly on the roadside.
On this day, all the civil and military officials got up early and were summoned by the First Emperor. Calculating the time, this meeting should be in the court to sing praises of virtues, evaluate merits and demerits, destiny and other messy things...
Zhao Si was not called into the court. His task was to wait at the palace gate until the First Emperor led all the civil and military officials out of the palace and drive for the First Emperor.
Zhao Si waited in front of the palace gate, from the dark sky to the bright light of the rising sun. The temporary food had been completely digested, and his spleen and stomach were empty.
However, the First Emperor still showed no sign of leaving the palace, and after waiting for a long time, Zhao Si heard the sound from a distance, and quickly braced himself and stood upright, without squinting.
Waiting until the solemn footsteps were getting closer and closer, the First Emperor stood alone in front, guarded by soldiers on both sides, Zhao Gao and Mengyi stood on the left and right, followed closely by hundreds of civil and military officials, including those who had been specially ordered to enter the court. characters, including Wang Li’s grandfather Wang Jian.
Wang Jian was an unusual person. Everyone walked, but he was the only one who sat in a wheelchair. This was specifically allowed by the First Emperor. When the First Emperor rode in a car, all the civil and military officials had to follow him step by step. With Wang Jian's body, I am afraid that After walking over, after the happy events, we have to do the funeral.
Zhao Si stood in front of the palace gate with his head held high, holding the reins in his hand, driving nine carriages, and waiting quietly.
The solemn face of the First Emperor looked slightly sideways at Zhao Si, who was dressed up to attend.
Zhao Si's appearance is very good. He is tall, strong-boned, and has a resolute face. He has a sense of vitality but does not look acerbic. He is dignified and dignified without looking old-fashioned.
Now paired with a tailor-made driver's dress, standing there, standing out from the crowd.
As long as he didn't speak, Zhao Si would be the most handsome boy in the crowd just by looking good.
The First Emperor came to the carriage without saying a word. Zhao Si followed the training and helped the First Emperor onto the carriage with Meng Yi.
After that, Zhao Si stood as the main driver and Meng Yi stood as the co-pilot!
Zhao Si did not look around, but he also knew that he was followed by a group of people at the top of the world.
Squinting his eyes slightly, his heart was agitated under the reflection of the morning sun, and the feeling of Shen Mu who had stayed up all night was swept away.
Zhao Si shakes the reins, and the nine-horse carriage moves slowly!
The Nine Chariot is the most noble chariot in the world. Zhao Si personally holds the reins. Unfortunately... he cannot race because he has to wait for the civil and military officials behind him.
The task of the civil and military officials is not easy either. They have to follow them all the way, and they have to maintain their formation and not fall behind. Fortunately, those who are not physically strong, those who are too old, but whose level is not so important, have already set off to Lantian in advance to prepare. Reception.
There was only one Wang Jian in the entire team. He was old and physically weak, but his unique rank required him to be in the team. The First Emperor also specifically allowed him to ride in a wheelchair. He stood out from the crowd. He looked inferior but was superior to others.
Zhao Si controlled the speed and moved slowly.
This is no easy job. He is the one who leads the way and is the rhythmic core of the entire team. At the same time, he also has to ensure that the Lantian Camp is well prepared when he arrives at the Lantian Camp.
It must not be too fast, nor too slow, it must be just right.
Fortunately, Meng Yi was his deputy and helped Zhao Si adjust his speed many times. The overall speed and rhythm were still under control.
It is worth mentioning that after driving out of the royal city, people "spontaneously" followed them wherever they passed through the countryside.
I don't know who did the chores. In short, these people don't look like real people. Except for the clothes they wear, they are the clothes of real people. They walk in a rhythm and the team is not messy at all.
Basically, every time he passed through a village, a group of people had to follow him. Fortunately, the roads in Da Qin were very wide.
When Jia Zhu arrived at Lantian, in addition to the civil and military officials, there were thousands of people following Jia Zhu.
When we arrived at Lantian, there were already officials waiting inside to arrange the venue early.
Zhao Si stopped the carriage steadily, helped the First Emperor out of the car, and then followed the First Emperor step by step. Zhao Gao silently retreated to the side, and Zhao Si Mengyi, one on the left and one on the right.
The First Emperor is at the front, the civil and military officials are at the back, and the "common people" are at the end.
Under the leadership of the First Emperor, a group of people went to the place where new grains were cultivated.
Right now, the corn stalks are all yellowed by the sun, but the sweet potatoes are still green. The potato stems and leaves have been completely sun-dried, and they can't wait to be harvested.
Before plowing the land, there were three animals, fruits, and snacks.
A large bronze cauldron is in the center, firewood is burning and water is boiling.
There are endless incense burners on both sides!
The First Emperor stood in front, followed closely by all the civil and military officials. Li Si held the imperial edict on a black background and played to represent heaven and earth.
"Your Majesty has a memorial to the late king of heaven and earth..."
As Li Si's rich voice sounded, the ministers knelt down in unison and knelt down in unison.
This is a memorial to the ancestors of heaven and earth, and it is the highest level of sacrifice. Except for the First Emperor, everyone has to kneel, and it is a great ceremony, with the body completely lying on the ground.
Play to represent heaven and earth and praise the virtues of heaven and earth.
To comfort the ancestors, to comfort the spirits of the ancestors.
Pray for the mountains and rivers to thank them for their legacy.
The whole article is long and smelly, and Zhao Si's name is not mentioned once in the entire memorial.
All the credit was divided between heaven and earth, ancestors, mountains and rivers, and the First Emperor.
Of course, Zhao Si's name is indeed not worthy of appearing on this memorial list.
After reading the long and smelly memorial, everyone kowtowed together. Zhao Si kowtowed obediently there, kowtowing to heaven and earth, to his ancestors, to the mountains and rivers...
Then came the ritual music instruments, singing and dancing performances...
By the time the solemn rituals and music ended, the sun in the sky had reached noon.
The prelude is finally over and we can get to the main topic...
Under the gaze of everyone and accompanied by Zhao Simengyi, the First Emperor stepped into the cultivated land.
Take over the farm tools with your own hands!
Harvest!
Break it off and peel it off! The golden corn was exposed, and Zhao Gao took it on a tray padded with silk.
Then we went to the sweet potato field, dug out the sweet potatoes with farm tools, tied them with ribbons, and put them on the tray.
Then he went to the potato field and dug out potatoes...
There are two copies, one is enshrined on the incense table for heaven and earth to enjoy, and the other is placed in the boiling cauldron.
