Chapter 631 Worshiping the Ancestral Hall
In the early morning of the next day, although he was very tired last night, Gao Yihuan got up early at dawn.

Before Gao Yihuan became king in a hurry in Guanzhong, many etiquettes were not fulfilled. Gao Yihuan didn't care much about this, and he was more disgusted with those red tapes.

Let him, a native of the bandits, be bound by so many rules, Gao Yihuan felt uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

But now, after all, he is the lord of a feudal clan, and he is also a great king, so the lost etiquette must be picked up again.

A vassal state with tens of millions of people needs not only to be restrained by laws and regulations, but also to be regulated by etiquette and culture to cohere. It is very necessary for the ruling class of Wei State to improve their self-cultivation.

After all, today is different from the past. The big guys are no longer the mud legs of Gaojiazhuang, nor are they the local bandits entrenched in one side. They have become serious officers and soldiers, and they have all become new nobles, and nobles should look like nobles Son, nobles should have the responsibilities and responsibilities of nobles.

Yesterday, Gao Yihuan received the imperial decree from Nanjing and became the king of the Western Wei Dynasty. There was smoke on the Gao family ancestor's grave.

Early this morning, Gao Zurong summoned the Gao clan's relatives to the family temple outside the East Courtyard, preparing to worship and comfort their ancestors.

After Zhao Juan got up, she helped Gao Yihuan put on a black dragon robe and a winged crown on her head. After washing up, she went to the ancestral hall.

At this time, the ancestral hall had been cleaned up, the sacrifices and incense candles were ready, and the tribesmen in Nanyang also came. There were as many as 30 to [-] men in Qingyishui.

When the Han people moved to one place, the first things they built must be ancestral halls and family temples. This is part of the culture. Not too fastidious.

This time he walked in and saw many clansmen gathered, but he had a different feeling, which made him sigh that people still need to have a sense of ritual.

Before Gao Yihuan came to worship, it took less than a quarter of an hour to complete the work. This time, it took more than an hour to complete the set of procedures.

Although this was a bit of a delay, Gao Yihuan also felt a little strange in his heart after going through the process. He unconsciously had a connection with Chongzu's culture and his ancestors, and he also had an extra responsibility to honor the lintel.

Gao Yihuan didn't know much about the rules of ancestor worship, and Gao Zurong was in charge.

Finally, after a while, Gao Yihuan began to offer incense and worship, while Gao Zurong recited some comforting words for his ancestors.

Gao Yihuan made a big salute, stood up and put the incense on, and suddenly found that there were a few more people on the tablet in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

After the worship was over, Gao Yihuan couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Father, why do we have more ancestors in my family?"

Gao Yihuan remembered that when he came to worship last time, the tablets in the ancestral hall only went to his great-great-grandfather, and there were more than a dozen direct ancestors. This time, the entire wall was covered with tablets, as if the class of Chen Liugao had been raised in one fell swoop.

Gao Zurong smiled and said: "You are the king of Wei now, and you will be even more precious in the future. For future preparations, what is the origin of our Lao Gao's family, and what is the origin of our ancestors? Do you want to find out? For my father, this is a rainy day. They are all busy with the sequel."

Gao Yihuan understands a little bit, big people usually have to prove whose descendants they are, to add a little legitimacy to their ruling, this is the icing on the cake.

But Gao Yihuan was a little confused, "Didn't Dad say that we can't find our family tree if we trace our great-great-grandfather?"

Gao Zurong nodded, "Your great-great-grandfather was a refugee from Shandong. Our family didn't make a fortune until your grandfather's generation. It's really hard to find out what happened in the past. But it doesn't matter. I read the classics for my father and checked the historical records. Gao's reputation, I have already found several families, one is from the descendants of Qi Taigong who changed Gao's surname, the second is Gao Chai, a disciple of Confucius, and the third is the Gao family of Northern Qi. Now I am still considering for my father, which one to choose One!"

This can also be chosen, Gao Yihuan was stunned, "Father, aren't you Pengci?"

"What, Pengci?" Gao Zurong was a little puzzled.

Gao Yihuan waved his hand. For a moment, he felt that worshiping ancestors was not so solemn. He didn't want to talk about it anymore, "It's okay, then this matter will be handled by you, but you must find someone with a better reputation."

Gao Zurong nodded solemnly, "Father is clear about this matter. By the way, father thought about it, you are also a king now, it's time to change the word."

Gao Yihuan became interested. In ancient times, having a character was a reflection of status, and it was only good if you got along well. Ordinary poverty is like a pillar, and you have been tied to it for a lifetime.

"Oh? I still have words!" Gao Yihuan asked.

Gao Zurong said: "I thought about it for my father before, but later I realized that you are really not material for studying, and you make friends with crooks and dogs, so forget it."

When Zhu Chongba developed, he also changed his name and changed his name to Yuanzhang, whose name was Guorui, and his grade immediately went up.

Gao Yihuan has always been pursuing progress, and immediately narrowed his eyes, "What did I say before?"

"Your identity is different now. The previous character pattern is not enough, so you can't use it anymore. It's okay not to mention it. Wait until you find a few gentlemen for your father to take a good look at it for you, and then choose a new character that suits your identity." Gao Zurong road.

Seeing that Gao Zurong refused to say it, Gao Yihuan probably thought that the word was really common, and he was a bit unable to use it. After all, Gao Zurong was just a sour scholar, and he probably didn't come up with any good words.

Gao Yihuan nodded slightly, "Then please father."

The two said that they had already arrived outside the ancestral hall. Gao Yihuan still had a lot of business to deal with, so he took his leave and left, leaving Gao Zurong to greet the tribe.

Gao Yihuan left the ancestral hall and went to the front courtyard. All the officials who came to participate in the discussion had already arrived.

There are mainly a few gentlemen, and officials from various ministries. There are more than 20 people in total.

At this time, everyone was sitting on both sides of the hall, chatting in low voices, discussing the strategy that Wei State would implement in the future after the war with the Manchu Qing had temporarily ceased, and after Gao Yihuan became king of Western Wei.

While everyone was talking, the guards outside the hall suddenly shouted loudly: "Your Majesty is here!"

The hall suddenly fell silent, and everyone got up one after another, welcoming Gao Yi to walk in cheerfully.

Now Gao Yihuan is nominally the king of the Western Wei Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, but everyone knows that the military, administration, and diplomacy of Wei State are independent from the Ming Dynasty, and it is already an independent country. Once the time is right, Gao Yihuan wants to leave Nanjing. A matter of words.

At this time, Gao Yihuan is their lord, their lord.

"Your Majesty is welcome." Everyone bowed and saluted.

Gao Yihuan walked to the throne and sat down, then smiled and raised his hand to press down, asked everyone to sit down, and asked the guards to serve refreshments, and said with a smile: "Now that the Tartars have retreated, Gu also accepted the edict from Nanjing. My big brother Wei will not be using troops in the near future, so Gu called you here to ask you how the Gu King should govern Wei in the future."
