Chapter 1248: It's fun to bully yourself(1/3)
When Liu Che appeared, the soldiers standing upright in the audience made a roar, stood up straight, and saluted solemnly.
In addition to the guests' seats, the "extra performers" on other tables also stood up and saluted each other.
Some of them without armor even knelt down and worshiped on the ground.
Kneeling down and worshiping was originally a ritual to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth. It was only from Liu Bang in the Han Dynasty that it officially became a courtesy for ministers to the emperor.
In fact, at this time, kneeling did not have too much humiliating taste. After all, people of that era still kneeled down.
Put your butt on your calves and sit.
Lift your buttocks to kneel down.
It's a bit like standing up and saluting when you meet someone.
Kang Youwei summarized the evolution of the etiquette of Chinese monarchs and ministers in "The Imperial Edict to Avoid Kneeling and Worshiping": "In the Han system, the emperor rose as the prime minister. In the Jin, Six Dynasties and Tang Dynasties, the emperor and his ministers all sat down. In the Song Dynasty, it was established, but in the Yuan Dynasty, it was kneeling, and later generations will follow it."
In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the imperial power became more and more powerful. When facing the emperor, ordinary people and even officials, like now, fell to the ground and had no dignity.
In 1912, the Republic of China abolished the kneeling ceremony.
From then on, the word "Jun" disappeared among those who knelt down to worship the Lord of Heaven and Earth.
Chinese people only kneel to the sky and the ground to honor their parents and ancestors.
But in many countries, this etiquette still exists. For example, Japan and Thailand.
The kneeling ceremony in Japan does not have much insulting meaning, it is a bit like before the Yuan Dynasty.
But this is not the case in Thailand. Thai civilians must kneel down in front of the royal family, or even crawl on the ground like dogs.
But no matter what, the etiquette of kneeling down and worshiping can be said to be the most significant and serious etiquette in modern society.
The roaring group of people knelt down and worshiped, and the scene immediately fell silent with a roar.
The atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn.
Shouting Xiaobai's name loudly, shouting about the live broadcast, and all kinds of people taking selfies gradually became quiet.
On the stage, bells, drums, pianos and flutes formed a magnificent music.
Gu Xiaobai's singing sublimated all of this to the extreme.
Infected by this solemn atmosphere, the audience felt an inexplicable feeling of reverence.
I don’t know who started it, but the audience stood up one after another, and some even bowed slightly subconsciously.
In fact, this is exactly the original intention of ritual music.
Let people feel a power greater and more divine than themselves.

This is probably the reason why some courts, churches, etc. need to be built at extremely high heights.
Only in this case can people feel their own insignificance and surrender to a greater existence.
Everyone looked up at the man wearing twelve crowns and a long sword at his waist, walking step by step through the long street.
He is not particularly tall, nor is he very majestic, but when he walks through the long street, he seems to be enough to make heaven and earth surrender.
Opposite him, Xianbei Khan, who was wearing a leather robe and gold jade on his head, hesitated for a moment, then finally bowed his head deeply and was about to bow.
Liu Che took a step forward, reached out to support him, then took his hand, turned around, and looked behind him.
There was no one behind him. Jiang Wei got scared and shrank back behind the crowd.
The other four noobs all had to play and sing, but the one who traveled through time and became Huo Qubing had already put away his long sword, stopped his sword dance, and stood beside his comrades.
At this moment, he did not hesitate to fly and kicked Jiang Wei out of the crowd.
This time, the originally serious scene suddenly became unbearable.
"Wow" and laughed.
Even Liu Che couldn't hold himself any longer. He twitched the corner of his mouth, grabbed Jiang Wei who was still covering his butt, and pulled him in front of him.
The Khan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand, and gently pulled Tuoba Moran in front of him.
A pair of young children suddenly started to get nervous. You looked at me, I looked at you, and my face turned red.
Behind Liu Che, the courtesy officer came over with a silk book in his hands, bowed and handed it to Liu Che with both hands.
Liu Che reached out and grabbed the silk book, smiled, and then threw it back, saying: "Today is a happy day. I'm afraid no one is willing to listen to me read this long memorial text, so... let's avoid these red tapes.
!”
The official was stunned, that's not what he said beforehand!
I wrote three pages of my fucking process!
Liu Che didn't care about him. He turned around, took a glass of water and wine from behind him, handed the glass to Xianbei Khan, and then raised it high.
Everyone also grabbed the wine on their own table and lifted it up.
"Today, I, the general of the Han Dynasty, Wei Qing, a general under the command of Conghou Jiangwei, married Princess Tuoba Moran of Xianbei. From today on, I, the Han Dynasty, and Xianbei will be in harmony for generations and enjoy peace forever!"
His voice was like a loud bell, his peaceful and loud voice resounded throughout the entire audience.
Then, the Emperor of Han Dynasty and the Khan of Xianbei looked at each other and drank the wine in their hands in one gulp.
Everyone drank all the water and wine in their glasses.
"Leave this place to the young people. Come on, let's take a seat!" Liu Che took Xianbei Khan's hand, turned around and walked towards the banquet.
The courtesy officer looked at this and that, with a blank look on his face.
Not to mention the courtesy officer, Gu Xiaobai was a little confused.
Wait, it wasn’t like this before!
Is my process completely useless?
Uncle, why don’t you practice martial ethics?
Wang Jinguang stood in the back, originally planning to wait for Liu Che, Xianbei Khan and others to finish their speeches and then also come to the stage to speak.
In fact, his legs were already shaking just now.
Damn it, what kind of formation is this!
Is the emperor marrying his daughter this time?
On this occasion, do you want me to speak on stage?
Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, you think too highly of me!
At this moment, Wang Jinguang also wanted to run away, but unexpectedly his hand tightened and Taichang held him back.
"Why are you running? You haven't spoken yet!"
Taichang, named Zhou Ping, was blowing his beard and staring at Wang Jinguang.
Taichang is the head of the Nine Qing Dynasty and has great authority.
For this wedding, he and his various administrators worked hard for a whole month, and finally worked out all the details of the wedding. He felt that it was luxurious and grand, and would definitely not lose to my macho style.
As a result, now, Liu Che has overturned all the arrangements for his busy work with just a wave of his hand, and he is so angry that he is fuming.
But what can he do? He is the boss!
Is it possible that you can go up and give Liu Che a slap?
But he couldn't deal with Liu Che, but he could control Wang Jinguang.
The emperor ran away, do you want to run away too?
no way!
Speak to me!
Talk for thirty minutes!
Wang Jinguang was dragged to the middle.
On the right are Jiang Wei and his comrades and teammates.
On the left is Tuoba Moran and her army of women.
All eyes were on him.
Especially when the light shined over him, he also made a "wow" sound and started to sweat.
I no longer remember all the rhetoric that I had memorized by heart.
"that……"
Hearing his own voice, which suddenly echoed through the entire audience, Wang Jinguang shrank in fear.
Then he forced a smile and said: "Everyone...eat and drink well..."
He turned around and ran away.
In the audience, Yan Bingguo slapped himself on the forehead.
