In the Zhou Dynasty, etiquette was a big thing, with the sacrifice as an auspicious ceremony, the funeral as a fierce ceremony, the military service as a military ceremony, the guest thing as a guest ceremony, and the crown wedding as a family ceremony, collectively known as the five rites.
The enthronement of the Son of Heaven is one of the gifts.
Zhou Lichun's official uncle of the great sect: "The great uncle is close to the people with a gift of Jia, a brother of the clan with a gift of food, a man and a woman with the gift of a faint crown, a gift of old friends with a guest shot, a guest with a gift of Yan, and a country with a different surname with the gift of celebration."
In addition, the country has festive significance and part of the ceremonial activities used to get close to interpersonal relations and contact feelings, such as the monarch's enthronement, the crown prince, the worship of princes, festivals, the concubine of the Son of Heaven, the crown princess, the wedding of the princes and doctors, crown ceremonies, banquets, and village drinking, etc., all belong to the list of gifts, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sloppy.
And Yingkang and other Qin people participated in such a major event for the first time, so they naturally attached great importance to it.
"Doctor, this is the gift I prepared for the enthronement of the Son of Heaven, please take a look."
Si Nong Yingzhao handed the gift list to congratulate the new son of heaven on his enthronement to the doctor Yingkang.
Ying Kang opened the gift list, only to see that there were cattle and sheep, horses, grains, jewelry and jade, etc., which was already very rich.
"Have these gift lists been compared with the surrounding countries?"
asked Yingkang.
Although it is already very rich, I don't know the gap if I don't compare, and I don't know how other countries prepare gifts for the enthronement of the Son of Heaven, so Yingkang asked specifically.
"For this matter, I specifically asked about the preparation of the kingdom, and it is basically the same as ours.
It's just a matter of variety.
Yingzhao replied.
"Okay, then we'll leave tomorrow."
Ying Kang said to Ying Zhao.
"No, then I will order my subordinates to load all the things into the cart, and the cattle and horses will go with the cart."
Ying Zhao replied, and then Ying Zhao said: "Doctor, we Qin people went to Haojing this time to congratulate the Son of Heaven on his accession to the throne, should we inform the eldest brother of Inuqiu."
After all, our Qin people are a family, we went, but the eldest brother didn't go, isn't it a little inappropriate?"
This one Yingkang knew that Yingzhao already had words in his words, Zhou Tianzi named his eldest brother Yingqi as the doctor of Xitui, and Yingkang as the doctor of Qianyi.
Since then, there have been two doctors among the Qin people.
These two doctors are both officials under the Zhou royal family, and neither of them cares about the other.
If this time Yingkang left Yingqi of Inuqiu and personally led people to Haojing, it would undoubtedly make the Qin people who were originally separated even more divided.
This is not a good thing for Yingkang or the entire Qinren Group.
Yingkang had also thought about this problem before, but there were too many things in the face, and he forgot about it in a blink of an eye because there were too many things.
Now that Yingzhao mentioned this matter, Yingkang, who was already anxious, felt the complexity of the matter even more, "The third brother reminded me that the last time the Son of Heaven named you and me officials in Qianyi, although it was a good thing, it gave us Qin people land and official positions, but it also divided us Qin people on another level."
As a result, the Qin people formed two groups that were not subordinate to each other.
If I rashly go to Haojing today without informing my eldest brother, and invisibly tell the princes of the world that I am here to congratulate the Son of Heaven on behalf of the Qin people on his ascension to the throne, this will not be a good thing for our entire Qin people collective. ” "That's exactly what I mean, we'd better talk to the big brother of Inuqiu and them first, and listen to the big brother's opinion."
Yingzhao suggested.
"But if you go back and forth like this, I'm afraid that the time to get to Hokyo will be delayed."
Ying Kang couldn't help but say.
"But if you don't tell the eldest brother about them, our Qin people will be divided, which is more important?"
Which is more important?
Yingkang's heart was also uneasy and wavering After waiting for a while, Ying Kang thought for a while and said, "Third brother, you will go to Inuqiu, just say that we have prepared all the gifts, and ask the eldest brother to lead us to Hojing to congratulate the Son of Heaven on his accession to the throne." ” "Invite the eldest brother directly to participate" Si Nong Yingzhao looked at Yingkang in surprise after hearing this, "So you don't need to discuss it with the eldest brother."
"It takes at least two days to get from Qianyi to Inuqiu, and this one is four days, so we can't afford to delay," Yingkang said.
In fact, Ying Kang originally thought about going to Inuqiu to discuss this matter with Ying Qi and others, but after thinking about it, once there was a matter of agreeing or disagreeing, it would be better to come more directly, so he said that he had prepared all the congratulatory gifts, and directly invited Ying Qi to go to Hojing to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new Son of Heaven.
As for you, Yingqi and the Qin officials of Inuqiu agree or not, I am ready to go.
"That's what you said, time waits for no one, so I'll go."
Si Nong Yingzhao said.
"Okay, third brother, go and come back quickly, I'm waiting for your news."
"No" Yingzhao said, turned around and left Yingkang Mansion.
After Yingzhao left, Yingkang ordered someone to invite Liu Tong.
"Lord Liu, the Son of Heaven has died, and the new Son of Heaven will ascend the throne next month, after discussing with Si Nongling and others, I decided to go to Hojing to participate in the enthronement ceremony of the new Son of Heaven, I don't know if you have any advice."
After all, he and the Qin people are both newcomers, and they are still worse than Liu Tonglai when they see the world, so after thinking about it, Yingkang decided to consult Liu Tong's opinion.
At the same time, he also asked Liu Tong to see how the gift he prepared for the new emperor to ascend the throne Then Ying Kang handed Liu Tong the gift list he had prepared for the Son of Heaven and asked him to take a look.

Liu Tong looked at it and said: "This list of gifts is already very rich, according to the custom, the princes must regularly meet the Son of Heaven, pay tribute, and recruit troops to go out with the King of Zhou, etc., when the royal family has major sacrificial activities, the princes will also go to help the sacrifice."
However, there are no clear rules on this tribute gift, and in most cases, each vassal state pays tribute to the Son of Heaven according to the place where it is located.
Our Qin people are located in the northwest to contribute horses, cattle and sheep.
Besides, when Zhou Tianzi canonized the Qin people as doctors, it was because the Qin people's horses were well raised.
We combine our actual situation and contribute our own specialties, which should not be a problem. ” With Liu Tong's approval, Yingkang was a little proud, "After all, this is the first time that the Qin people have participated in the enthronement ceremony of the new Son of Heaven, and I don't want to be laughed at."
Your Excellency holds official positions in many countries in Guanzhong, so please check it for me. ” Liu Tong handed the gift list to Yingkang, "The things on this gift list are already very rich, I think there should be no problem."
But before I head to Hokyo, I'd like to ask the doctor.
We, the Qianyi Qin people, received the invitation from Uncle Chunguan Zong, and there was no document."
During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the officials of the Zhou royal family were set up as "Jiuqing", which were Tianguan Zunzai, Diguan Situ, Chunguan Zongbo, Xia Guan Sima, Autumn Guan Sikou, Winter Guan Sikong, and Shaoshi, Shaofu, and Shaobao, which were combined as "Jiuqing".
Among them, Chunguan Zongbo is in charge of Bangli.
Major events such as the accession of the new Son of Heaven are generally in charge of the Chunguan Zongbo, and those who should be invited to participate, and those who should not be invited to participate, are all exquisite
