Chapter 70: The Source of Qi Inheritance
readx;
Things often inadvertently slide to the side that they least want to see - Zhao Yuan's brows furrowed slightly. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
His figure and expression did not change, he looked at the chessboard and said softly: "Where did Concubine Ai see that I ruled the country at will?" ”
Yunyang put his hand on the placket of his clothes, holding a white chess piece in his hand, and then said: "If the emperor does not govern the country arbitrarily, how can he not prove that he is the orthodox of the Central Plains after many years of entering Luoyang." ”
Zhao Yuan put the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, and looked at Yunyang coldly: "Great Qi has occupied Luoyang, and the wealth of the Central Plains is at my feet, why do you need to prove it?" ”
"If you don't need to prove it, why do most of the Zhu families in the south disobey the Yang of the Great Qi State and claim that they are the orthodoxy of the Central Plains?" Yun Yang continued with a chess piece soaked in cold sweat in his hand.
"If you want the Zhuguo family in the south to be sincere and obedient, the emperor can't just rely on steel swords and iron horses. There must be a foundation of etiquette that convinces the family of the pillar country. ”
"Oh? What kind of etiquette is the foundation? Zhao Yuan's expression didn't change much, and he couldn't see what he was thinking now.
"That is, the Great Qi State must clearly put forward the inheritance of the ritual system established by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty." Yunyang mustered up the courage to say this.
Zhao Yuan's tone began to get colder and colder: "Isn't the most important of the ritual system established by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty the Seven Pillar Kingdoms? Your Song family is the largest pillar country among them. ”
"If the Great Qi recognizes the ritual system of the Son of Heaven of the Zhou Dynasty, he must admit the act of dividing the feud, and now the Song State has been destroyed by the Great Qi, so in the ritual system built by the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty, the Great Qi State must be recognized as the inheritance of the Song State."
Yunyang held the chess pieces tighter and tighter, and the edge of the chess pieces hurt her palms: "Yes." ”
Zhao Yuan sneered: "Since ancient times, the orderly inheritance is either Zen or kinship. Great Qi and Song are definitely not Zen, that means the relationship between me and you. ”
"You're just my concubine, how can you be considered related?"
As soon as Zhao Yuan's words came out, Yunyang heard the words like a steel knife through his chest, and his face began to turn pale.
"Isn't it that you still covet the position of queen?" Zhao Yuan showed no mercy at all, and said the following words.
Yunyang got up, knelt in front of Zhao Yuan, and said sadly, "The concubine has never thought like this. ”
After a short silence, Zhao Yuan didn't look at her, and said in a low and stern voice: "You definitely didn't make up these words yourself, tell me who taught you how to say them?" How dare you question the foundation of the Great Qi Kingdom? ”
Yun Yang choked back tears, knowing that he would definitely die today, and said calmly, "No one taught me." ”
Zhao Yuan sighed, his eyes were cold and deep: "You are really worse than a star." ”
This sentence was really like a steel cone piercing Yunyang's back, and the pain made her straighten her spine in an instant, and she raised her head: "Ji Xi is indeed smart and pure, unparalleled in the world, but it's a pity that she is also the princess of the Song Kingdom." ”
"If she kneels here today and says the same thing, how should the emperor treat her?"
"Bang", Zhao Yuan smashed his fist on the chessboard, making a dull sound.
originally thought that Zhao Yuan would be furious and reprimanded sharply; originally thought that Zhao Yuan would be angry and throw something to get angry, but he didn't do anything, just smashed a punch like this.
It's just that there is unspeakable disappointment in one punch, unspeakable heartache, and endless alienation and dislike.
This is more uncomfortable for Yunyang than beating her. She couldn't hold back any longer, and her tears fluttered through the sycamore forest like a breeze after rain, and fell without warning.
Zhao Yuan didn't look at her, and walked straight to the outside of the hall, his tone was already the same as ordering his courtiers in the court, and he couldn't hear any emotion: "You can't wait for everything that happened today to spread a word." ”
"From now on, except for the palace banquet, the concubine is not allowed to take a step out of the Qiao Palace."
With that, he strode out of the place.
Yunyang held the cold ground with his hands, almost crying.
If she had a choice, she would definitely not want to become a member of the Song family, and if she could turn back time, she would definitely not go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace.
That night in front of the Temple of Mercy and Grace, when Jingchen put the piece of white jade in Yun Yang's hand, Yun Yang looked up at Zhao Yuan in disbelief, and she saw the blankness in Zhao Yuan's eyes.
She set her eyes on Jingchen again, and the expression on Jingchen's face was a strong expectation of the result.
Looking at the expressions of the two of them, Yunyang finally determined one thing in his heart, this was not a joke they played with himself.
The reason why Yunyang thinks this way is because, in her eyes, this is not a whole piece of jade at all, it is made of white fat jade with different depths. And the mechanism that was opened was clearly placed on the side of the jade.
According to his own judgment, Yun Yang pressed down on the place set up by the agency, and this piece of white jade was broken down into nine jade rings in response.
When Zhao Yuan and Jingchen saw this scene, even though the two of them were usually moody, their faces were full of disbelief at this moment. Yunyang realizes that he can indeed see things that others can't.
But she vaguely felt that this was not a good thing.
Sure enough, when he arrived in the secret room, Yunyang saw these words on the snow-white wall: "If you can see these words, it means that you are a descendant of the Song family." ”
These characters are written in a white color that only the Song family can distinguish, and we call this color lion tiger white. Because of this special ability of the Song family, it was particularly valued by the Son of Heaven in the Zhou Dynasty. ”
"The emperor of the Zhou Dynasty thinks that the Song family is a magical person who can interpret the Book of Heaven, so he attaches great importance to our people and entrusts some major state secrets to the Song family for record keeping."
"Although the Song Kingdom has perished, as the ancestor of the Song family, you still left a heirloom for future generations, which is enough to match your noble bloodline."
"But before you can get the treasures of your ancestors, you must fulfill a wish for your ancestors."
That was to meet the emperor at that time and try to persuade him to admit that the foundation of the country was inherited from the Song state. If you can complete this matter and not be killed, the man can enter the court as a minister, and the woman can enter the palace as a concubine, plus this heirloom in your hand, you can be honored for a lifetime, and no one can match. ”
The person who wrote these words turned out to be "Song Yongxi".
When Yun Yang saw the name of this heirloom on the wall, he chuckled in his heart: "Isn't this exactly what Zhao Yuanchao thought of in the evening?" If you can get this treasure for him, it will relieve him of many troubles, and it will not be in vain. ”
However, in order to obtain this national treasure, the above thing must be completed first. Yunyang also knew that this was an impossible task, but as the princess of the Song family, for the sake of Yuan Xian and Zhao Yuan, she had to give it a try.
The consequences of doing this, Yun Yang did not think about it. So after Zhao Yuan entered the secret room, her reaction would be very different from usual, she just hoped that Zhao Yuan would give her the courage to continue, and Zhao Yuan thought she was just an ordinary coquettish willful.
