Strictly speaking, the Southern Xiongnu cannot be called a national document, because in fact the Southern Xiongnu has become a vassal of the Han Dynasty, so it can only be called a document or an imperial edict.
However, because the Huns and the Han Dynasty had been fighting each other for hundreds of years, so 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 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 , maybe he doesn’t necessarily care. In his eyes, it’s enough to get the canonization. As for other aspects, they are all side effects.
When the Han Dynasty was strong and powerful, countries such as South Vietnam, the Xiongnu and the Western Regions Yarkand, Yutian and other countries sent envoys to pay homage. It is recorded in the history books that during the reign of Emperor Wu, "different objects came from all directions", "pearls, Wenjia, Tongzhi". The treasures of rhinoceros and emerald feathers fill the harem; the tips of cattails, dragons and fish eyes; horses with sweat and blood fill the yellow gate; huge elephants, masters' sons, ferocious dogs, and flocks of big sparrows feed in the outer enclosure."
Emperor Wu "set up wine pools and meat groves to entertain the guests from all over the world, wrote "Bayu", "Dulu", "Dangji in the Sea", scattered fish and dragons, and horns to watch for the visitors; and bribed the 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, 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, the final "edict" was obtained. 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 wires was used, when "asking", chime stone accompaniment was used, and then in " When "Edict" is heard, it is necessary to use the music of bells and drums...
But where can Fei Qian 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 the cheers of the Southern Huns. Then, when large and small bonfires were set up 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, which is ridiculous."
Fei Qian nodded, also smiled, and said: "Hu people value real interests. As long as this Chanyu'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 Yu Fulo'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. Let's round up the number of musicians, or Yu Fuluo can 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 they joked that Yu Fuluo didn't know etiquette, from another perspective, the Hu people just grasped the most important factor. Is the most important thing about canonizing Shanyu is ritual and music? No, the most important thing is that he is now enshrined in Yu Fuluo The volume of the emperor's writings...
Jia Qu's words may have been unintentional, but they aroused Fei Qian's thoughts.
Strictly speaking, one 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 he could truly regain Meiji from the royal court of the Southern Huns?
No, on the contrary, Yu Fuluo knows very well that what he is happy about now is that he has finally obtained an orthodox name that can 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 received the canonization of the Chanyu of the Southern Huns, does that mean he can control Meiji?
Not necessarily?
So what should you do?
Fei Qian walked a few steps outside and thought for a moment. 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 is on the verge of collapse but will not collapse immediately is in the minds of these local nobles.
The gentry were digging into the corners of the Han Dynasty, while at the same time trying to maintain the majesty of the royal family. This kind of contradiction and unity was played out in the Three Kingdoms period at this stage. On the one hand, local forces fought each other, and each had their own objects 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...
