"The Empress Dowager has passed away. From today onwards, for three days, the people on the island are not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat. They are not allowed to make a racket, and they are not allowed to wear colorful clothes and accessories!”

……
"The Empress Dowager has passed away. From today onwards, for three days, the people on the island are not allowed to drink alcohol or eat meat. They are not allowed to make a racket, and they are not allowed to wear colorful clothes and accessories!”
The bell stopped, and a fast horse galloped past. The Ming soldiers on the horse wore white flowers on their chests and black gauze on their right arms. They looked very modern.
This was also passed down by Zhu Zhenglong. After the death of the Emperor and Empress Dowager, there was no need for the subjects to wear mourning clothes. Everything was simple.
After the soldiers read out the summons, the soldiers and civilians on the island knelt down in the direction of the Imperial Palace in unison. Regardless of whether they were men, women, old or young, they all knelt down three times and kowtowed nine times.
Seeing this, Reba couldn't be special, right? He knelt down unwillingly and imitated the few women beside him.
As he knelt, he muttered.
"Is this the imperial power? Ah, there are stones on the ground! It hurts!"
Ah, the Empress Dowager is dead? His death was too sudden. Zhu Weichu had just returned and he had died!
Death? Why is it called death?
The same question!
In the Book of Rites, it is said that the death of the emperor is called collapse, the death of the princes is called death, the death of the great officers is called death, the death of the scholars is called no salary, and the death of the common people is called death. The emperor is supreme, so the death is specially used by the emperor. The Empress Dowager is the same as the princes. When she dies, she is called death!
F * ck, the commoner said death. Didn't it mean that he was dead?
Hahaha, that's right, you can also call it 'ga'!
F * ck, people are really divided into three, six, and nine grades. Even the way they call each other is different.
Reba quickly put away her reluctant expression. If someone saw you, you would be finished. This was the 18th century, the feudal era, and the imperial power was supreme, not the modern era!
That's right. Be careful not to punish you for being disrespectful. If you drag him down, you won't even have a place to cry!
Really?
Reba was shocked. Her originally unwilling expression instantly disappeared. Her expression changed quickly. She was indeed an actress.
After adjusting his state of mind, he kowtowed solemnly and stood up to rub his knees.
What is the meaning of kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times? That was to kowtow three times every time and repeat it three times.
There were pebbles on the ground, and it hurt so much.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
"Greetings, Your Majesty. My condolences, Your Majesty!”
The noise came. Reba, who was rubbing her knees, looked over. The crowd in front of her was bowing. The tall and handsome Zhu Weichu smiled and greeted the soldiers and civilians.
Are you looking for me?
Reba was puzzled. When she saw Zhu Weichu walking towards her, she quickly tidied her clothes and stood upright.
After being reminded by the netizens, she was afraid and had to pay attention to her words and actions. She could not reveal any flaws.
If he was killed because he made a low-level mistake, that would be even more unjust than Dou E.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
It had to be said that Reba, who had acted in ancient dramas, had two skills. There were also netizens who guided the details of the Ming Dynasty's bow ceremony. Her movements were very standard.
Zhu Weichu was surprised. This Dilireba grew up in the West, so how did he know the etiquette of the Central Plains?
"Reba, did your parents teach you manners?”
"Yes and no. I learned most of it from books.”
Reba thought of an excuse.
"According to the book, before the Ming Dynasty, the Menggu people required the Han people to kneel when they met. The Menggu people did not have the culture of the Han people. They only had their martial arts. In the conquered land, their outstanding performance was to treat the Menggu as nobles and the Han people as inferior people. They also divided the people into four classes to achieve the goal of dividing and ruling.”
"The first category is the Menggu people, who have the highest status. The second category is the Semu people, which includes the Xixia people, the Hui people, and the Uighurs. The third category is the Han people, which are the northern Han people. The fourth category is the southerners, which are the southern Han people.”
" After Emperor Taizugao established the Ming Dynasty, the Han people still adhered to the customs of the Yuan Dynasty. When reporting to their superiors, they all knelt down. In the fourth year of Hongwu, due to the fact that the military and civilians still followed the customs of the Hu people, most of them knelt down during banquets and wine. Emperor Hongwu issued an edict stating that the officials and civilians only needed to bow.”
"The so-called bow ceremony is to bow with one's hands cupped. When the officials of the Ming Dynasty meet, they don't need to kneel. This has broken the official etiquette system of the Yuan Dynasty. Even if a commoner sees an official, they don't need to kneel. They only need to bow with their hands cupped.”
"Your Majesty, right?"
That's right!
Zhu Weichu nodded in appreciation.
That's right. This woman was young, but she was talented and knowledgeable. She had been wandering around the various countries of Ou Continent all year round, so she should be very familiar with the royal family of Ou Continent.
With a thought, Zhu Weichu planned to ask Reba if she knew what a "shrine" was.
It should be related to the sacrifice.
Westerners were religious, so they would pay homage to the shrine in Fusang.
Then there was the problem. According to the knowledge taught to civil officials and generals from a young age, Fusang was a small country. It was short and ugly, had a despicable and shameless personality, and was brave and ruthless. It was good at robbing and robbing. It was named the Japanese pirates by the Flower Dynasty. Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, it had been crossing the sea to harass the coastal areas. Many wars had broken out with the Ming Dynasty, giving birth to famous anti-Japanese generals such as Qi Jiguang.
The civilization of Fusang was backward, far behind the western countries that colonized the world. The difference in national strength was like heaven and earth. Why would the leaders of the western countries and members of the royal family pay homage to the Fusang Shrine?
The literature on Flower Island was limited, and the information about Fusang was even more pitiful. Zhu Weichu was anxious to recover his memory, so he could only ask Reba, who had traveled to various countries and was knowledgeable, to see if she knew.
With all kinds of questions, Zhu Weichu asked,""Reba, do you know Fusang Shrine?”
“……”
Reba was stunned and subconsciously wanted to say that she knew.
However, the netizens in the live broadcast room weren't stupid. They kept giving out notifications.
I'm so rough, Reba, don't let it slip! What if Zhu Weichu is testing you to see if you are a transmigrator?
Right, right, right. Don't talk nonsense. We'll teach you!
The bullet screen was a mess. The administrator, Peking University's psychology professor, Li An, muted the comments in time and began to analyze the meaning of Zhu Weichu's words.
No, Reba had just answered in detail the origin of the Ming Dynasty etiquette and showed the advantages of being well-read. Zhu Weichu looked at Reba with admiration in his eyes. Asking about the shrine should not be a test!
Forget it, regardless of the purpose, the shrine did not appear in the modern era. He just had to answer honestly. He had to maintain the impression of being " knowledgeable " in order to be put in an important position by Zhu Weichu!
Reba, your answer…
Reba, who was in a daze, pretended to lower her head and think. She explained according to Li An's bullet screen.
"Fusang Shrine? He roughly knew that the shrine was the center of faith for the Fusang Shinto. It was the spiritual totem of the Fusang people. It had a very early origin and had existed for more than a thousand years! Shinto was closely related to the lives of Fusang people, so shrines were very common.”
"As far as I know, the shrine is where the gods live. The ritual objects that represent the gods and worship the gods are also stored in an unknown secret chamber deep in the shrine.”
"Your Majesty, why are you asking this?"
