Spring and Autumn I Am King

Chapter 259: Zitai sees Nanzi

The Song Dynasty was a post-Shang Dynasty, so the palace architecture was different from that of the Jin state, adhering to the consistent tradition since the Shang Dynasty.

Song Jun's palace is also known as the East Palace. The "big temple" for worshiping Wei Ziqi and the "Hai She" where the people of the country gather for public meetings are located on both sides of the East Palace. .

When a woman comes of age, the ceremonial ceremony is presided over by the wife of Song Gong and the female relatives of nobles, and men are not allowed to participate. Therefore, Zhao Wuxi was among the invited male nobles, and after presenting gifts to Yousi, he was led to the East Palace for a banquet.

The high terraces and beautiful pavilions of the East Palace, with carved beams and painted columns, are extremely beautiful in ancient charm, luxurious and elegant, so Zhao Wuxi can imagine the appearance of Dayi merchants back then.

The hall was filled with banquets and tables, and the dinggui was filled with fragrant wine and Jiarou.

In the first month, Song State held a rather heavy funeral of Le Qi, and the whole city of Shangqiu cried;

After that, Song Guo finally ushered in a series of happy events: in March, Song Gong's sister Ji Ziyuan married Wu Guo, and now, it is the wedding ceremony of the daughter-in-law Nanzi, which means marriage. Therefore, the guests were chatting casually, and the sound of Song was in their ears.

Zhao Wuxi was also among them. He raised his eyes and saw that the chief seated on the right side of the hall was the ruler of Song, and the teacher on the right was happy. He is an old man in his sixties, with a high crown and wearing black dark clothes. He has served Song Pinggong, Song Yuangong, Song Gongluan three generations of monarchs. If c↗ is still firmly occupying the position of Shangqing, a pair of eagle-like old eyes stares from time to time. Look at the opponent on the opposite side.

Grand Situ Gongzi Chen was Duke Song's younger brother, and his status was aloof. The other three brothers of Duke Song were also surrounded by him. The four together with Le Daxin. It is the largest force in the Song Dynasty and a representative of pro-Qi and anti-Jin. From the very beginning, they were very unfriendly to Zhao Wuxi. today. There was also a handsome middle-aged aristocrat sitting with the four of them, but Zhao Wuxi had never seen it before. Maybe it was a certain son and grandson?

The chief on the left is the newly promoted Zuo Shi Xiangchao of Duke Song, and his younger brother Da Sima Xiangyu. One family and two ministers, how noble, as Le Daxin's political enemies, they are also facing each other faintly.

Kou Huangshi, the chief minister, sent the sister of Duke Song to Wu State, so she was not in the capital. And Dasicheng Lemix couldn't come because his father was still unfinished, and asked Wu Xie to make amends to Song Gong and his daughter on his behalf.

Zhao Wuxi has now been expelled from the country, and has no duty, and being honored as a guest has already been given to him by Duke Song. So he and Sima Geng (word Ziniu), Huangye, Ziqi, Ziche, Lingbusuan and other younger generations sat in the lower seats.

Zhao Wushen thought about his experience last year, and learned the lessons of making too many enemies in Jin. During the five months in Song, he did his best to each of these peers, and tried to find allies among them.

By virtue of Zigong's relationship, he became a disciple of Confucius. Sima Geng, who is a small Sima, talks about rituals and history, and he specially treats him as a brother; he also hunts with Huangye and Ling Bubu in the suburbs of Song Dynasty; and accompanies Ziqi and Ziche to have fun in Wanggui liquor store. Thanks to his friendship, he became friends with these people, if there is any news in the court and the opposition. You can also find out immediately.

During this waiting period, Zhao Wuxi was also chatting with Sima Geng next to him.

"Ziniu, I heard that the woman is over fifteen years old. She can only be married after being married. It is said that the male daughter was promised to the Marquis of Wei. Is there such a thing?"

Big ears, wearing a crown. Sima Geng, who was wearing a court dress, smiled and said, "Zi Tai's news is really well-informed. I don't know if he got it from the big Si Kou, or from your Wanggui liquor store?"

Sima Geng is the younger brother of Zuo Shi Xiangchao and Da Sima Xiangyu, so he is very clear about the marriage alliance between Song Wei. After today, the news will be made public. In addition, Sima Geng is impatient and speaks directly, so he will not hide it.

Zhao Wuxi smiled lightly: "It was Lady Le's who told me."

Nanzi and Le Lingzi are close friends in the boudoir. Everyone knows this in Shangqiu. Le Lingzi also told Wu Xie that Nanzi seems to be very dissatisfied with this marriage...

Le Lingzi is worried about Nanzi's happiness, but Wu Xian cares about the changes brought by Song Wei's marriage to the world situation and his interests.

The current situation is that Qi State has denied Le Qi's death, saying that it was done by Jin State, and Jin State has also insisted that it has nothing to do with itself, blaming Qi State for sending someone to assassinate him.

Although Zhao Wushi left the corpse of Gu Yezi of Qi in Wenxian as irrefutable evidence, the state of Qi turned his face and refused to recognize it. In the absence of arbitration, the lawsuit could not go on for a while.

In the Song Dynasty, the Le Daxin clan, who were pro-Qi, had great power, while the Le-ming clan, who pro-Jin, had a small power. The Xiang brothers' attitude is between the two. They are opposed to taking refuge in Qi, and they are not willing to continue to form an alliance with Jin. Song Gongluan also means this.

Therefore, the state of Song is neither pro-jin nor pro-Qi at present. Instead, it intends to have a good relationship with the two neighboring countries, one south and one north: Ji Zi went to Wu State and married the prince of Wu King, Huchai, and now Nan Zi wants to Marriage with Wei Guo.

But what Zhao Wuxi is worried about is that Wei Guo is now following Qi Guo with all his heart. If Song Wei forms an alliance, it will naturally be biased towards that camp...

Sima Geng was good at talking, and he couldn't stop once he started, he said in Zhao Wuxi's ear: "Zitai, look, the handsome man sitting with the fourth son is the envoy this time, the uncle of the king. towards."

"Young Master Chao?" Zhao Wuxi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized that it was him, this marriage was really interesting.

Gongzichao is the concubine of Duke Pingong of Song. He is known as the rare beautiful man in the world, even more than Han Hu. All the princes who have seen him praised the "beauty of the Song Dynasty". In terms of seniority, he is still Duke Song's uncle and Nanzi's grandfather.

The relationship between this person and Weihou is very complicated. As a doctor of Wei, he is favored by Weihou Yuan, who is both male and female, and has an affair with Xuanjiang, the mother of Weihou. After Wei Hou has a new favorite Mi Zixia, the son-chao does not know whether it is because of love and hatred, that he even colluded with the Qing doctor Qi Bao and others to make trouble together, and wanted to expel Wei Hou.

With the support of the Marquis of Qi, Wei quelled the rebellion, so Gongzichao fled to the state of Jin and then to the state of Qi. After Qi Wei reconciled, he seemed to have reached a reconciliation with his old lover, Wei Hou, and took the initiative to act as a matchmaker for Wei Hou.

At the same time, the sons of the Song State opposite were also pointing at Zhao Wuxi.

"Uncle. That's the concubine of the Zhao family who was expelled from the country. He insisted that Qi sent someone to assassinate Lao Sicheng. He strongly encouraged the king to go to war with Qi and cooperate with Jin to attack Zheng and Wei!"

The son leads towards Gao Guanbo. Although he is nearly forty years old, he still has a jade-like face, handsome eyebrows, and a slender figure. After hearing the words, he showed a faint smile, and seemed to be very disdainful of Zhao Wuxi:

"Such an ordinary looking child, was expelled from the country and neglected his duty, and he still wanted to be a lobbyist of Jin. Today, Si Kou and Sicheng who are pro-Jin are not here. I can just humiliate him face to face and let you make up your mind! "

The five young masters were trying to figure out how to embarrass Zhao Wuxi, but Le Daxin didn't stop them.

Under the leadership of Le Daxin and Xiang Chao, the guests stood up and saluted, but it was Song Gong in a graceful dress and Nan Zi, the daughter-in-law who had just completed the wedding ceremony, hand in hand!

In the first year of the first year of the Marquis of Song, he was in his forties. Today, he is wearing a Xuan Guan and Xuan Duan Su Chang as a ceremonial dress. Appears to be very spiritual.

"Two or three sons are exempted from the ceremony, just sit down!"

And the Wengzhu Nanzi next to him made the young master unable to take his eyes away.

He thought to himself, "No matter how much I look at this girl, I don't think it's enough. How could I have imagined it when I left the Song Dynasty. The ordinary looking young girl in the past has become so beautiful!"

Gong Zichao's hand kept stroking Yu Jue, who was pressing down on the robe, secretly feeling pity for this woman in his heart.

"The marriage between the two countries has been negotiated. In another year, we will get married in person. I have shared the bed with Weihou. I don't know who he is? Who is worthy of Nanzi, there is only one in this world. I'm worthy to join hands with him!"

Thinking of this, he showed a narcissistic smile. In fact, this marriage was instigated by him, but the purpose was not for Wei Hou, but for himself. He kept thinking about how to get the heart of this "granddaughter" , It is naturally impossible in Song country, but there is a chance in Wei country.

Zhao Wuxi had already met Song Houyuan many times, and had talked to each other, but it was the first time he saw Nanzi—she also went to Le Qi's funeral, but she didn't meet him.

Today, Wu Xie just saw her appearance and behavior clearly.

Nanzi was dressed in a dark purple robe, gorgeous and noble. A jade-encrusted silk sash was tied around her slender waist, and her jet-black and shiny hair was tied in a high bun, and a pure white jade shawl was inserted into the bun. Her eyes are charming and her lips are like cherries. She is the only person Wu Xie has seen who can match Ji Ying's appearance. Lingzi and Wei are not as good as her.

Song Gong and Nanzi slowly sat down on the main seat on the stage, waved their sleeves, and let the musicians play dance music, and the feast officially began.

As the only daughter of the monarch, Nanzi, who is very fond of him, sits on the side. She holds an elephant chopstick and a business dagger in her slender hands, and serves Duke Song to eat and drink from time to time.

However, Zhao Wuxi noticed that when her eyes swept across the faces of the guests, she showed a trace of irritability and disdain.

If it was in Jin, it would be extremely rude to let the daughter-in-law come out to host a banquet and entertain guests, but it was common in Song.

Because of the inheritance of the Yin and Shang traditions, the Song Dynasty placed great emphasis on women, and the status of women was higher than that of other countries.

Song Dynasty women can participate in sacrifice activities, and perform sacrifices for their father and husband to get rid of diseases. They are also relatively independent economically. For example, Nanzi owns a certain amount of fields in the Pengcheng area as a farm town. When Ji Zi marries Wu, he also brings the farm towns on the border with him.

After a few rounds of drinking~www.wuxiahere.com~, the guests stood up and offered congratulatory messages, most of them were compliments, and some were flattering by reciting poems. It can be seen that the young nobles among them have been fascinated by Nanzi's appearance, and Nanzi's marriage to his concubine has made them grief-stricken.

But Zhao Wuxi, who has always been sane, sneered secretly. Of course, these people are just wishful thinking. Although the Song State has the custom of marrying within the same surname, as a duke and a daughter of a duke, they naturally pay attention to the right match. They have always only married Zhou Tianzi, Zhou Wanggongqing, or the monarch of a big country. The general children of the Qing family, even the princes of small countries, have no chance to marry the Duke of Song. Room marriage.

At this moment, a middle-aged man standing on the right with a jade tree facing the wind stood up. This man was Gongzichao. He walked gracefully to the center of the hall and wanted to congratulate Nanzi.

"Wei Shichao, I would like to dedicate a poem to the duke and daughter on behalf of the widow monarch Weihou." (To be continued. .)
