There is a special street in Angeup, which is located at the back of the royal palace. Let's say it's a street, and it's within the old red walls of the palace. It is said to be a royal palace, but it is full of chariots and horses without any guards.

This is the most special Wangcheng Street in Anyi City, which is the earliest palace area built by Wei Wenhou. During the reign of Marquis Wu of Wei, this old palace area was also used as various official offices of the state government. After the completion of the new palace of King Wei Hui, the official office was moved, and the two floors of the old palace were idle. Later, under the planning of the official in charge of royal affairs, King Wei Hui gave this oldest palace area to the royal ministers and the descendants of the royal family, and it became a place where the royal nobles lived together.

After a timely transformation, within a few years, it became a splendid and magnificent long street, and the people of Anyi called it "Wang Street".

The most special thing about this street is that there is an endless stream of high-rise cars and horses, and there are few days when the cars and horses are deserted. Not to mention that many of the royal nobles have vehicles, even the vehicles of the envoys of the princes of the world and the officials of the Wei State come here to visit, and they are already coming and going. If the Heavenly Street where Dong Xiangchun is located is the Wenhua Land of Wei, then this Wang Street is the conspiracy of Wei.

Although the Wei State has undergone great changes, it has not been touched in terms of royal power, and it is still not much different from the old Jin era, and it is no different from other warring states and small and medium-sized princes of the same era. On the surface, these royal nobles rarely served as important ministers of the state, let alone outstanding achievements, but their power was amazingly extended.

First, they still have their own relatively independent hereditary fiefdoms, although this kind of fiefdom can only collect taxes and cannot govern the people's army, but after all, they have a strong and stable wealth base.

Second, they are intertwined in the court, have strong penetration, and have a great influence on the monarch.

Third, they have a noble status, but they do not have the official power they actually wield, as if they were a clear class.

This allows them to flex up and attack any powerful minister, without being belittled or dismissed for lack of power, let alone beheaded.

For such a royal class, any official must put it into the structure of power that he must take care of. In the same way, any foreign envoy who wants to achieve a more difficult goal must also come here to cast his wealth and seek change.

Wei was the most powerful warring state, and the slightest change in its internal and foreign affairs would affect the nations. Therefore, this King Street is in fact a world-famous place of conspiracy and trading.

Right now, a luxurious car with a six-foot roof is squeezing into the traffic and heading towards the depths of King Street.

Night has fallen, although there are no merchants and shops on Wang Street, the wind lanterns on the street are twenty steps away, illuminating the flow of cars and horses brilliantly. As the Chinese cars flowed into the mansions on both sides, Wang Street gradually came to an end, and the traffic gradually became sparse. In the end, there was only this six-foot roof of the car.

In the deepest part of Wang Street, there lives the prince Wei Wei, to be exact, it should be the prince Wei Wei. During the Warring States period, only the children of the princes of the vassal states, that is, the children of the "gong" or "marquis", could be called "gongzi". It was only after the Qin and Han dynasties that "Gongzi" became detached from his actual identity and became a universal honorific title.

Gongzi Wei is the concubine son of the Marquis of Wei Wu and the half-brother of King Wei Hui. As far as the current official position is concerned, Gongzi Wei is white. However, in terms of actual impact, that is a word. All the officials and celebrities of the Wei State are very clear about Gongzi's position of power, and they are even more aware of his behavior.

As soon as the gorgeous six-foot car with a roof stopped in front of the gate, an old man with white hair and red clothes walked in steps to greet him. This is the governor of the house, and the people of Wei are called the elders. The old man smiled and arched his hand: "Dare to ask sir, but is Xue Guo a distinguished guest?" ”

The owner of the car had already gotten out of the car, but it was a young man with a dark face and a noble bearing, and the two servants who followed behind him were also as white as jade, handsome and handsome. The guest bowed his hand to the old man in charge and said, "The old man is well." Under is Xue Guoyiyuan. ”

The old man said: "The son has been waiting in the house for a long time, sir, please." Yiyuan smiled calmly: "The old family, my Yi clan has a particular attitude, and the first time I meet the old family, I must give a small gift, called all the way to the auspicious." If you don't pay respect, please smile. ”

As he spoke, the handsome servant behind him had already held a delicate small wooden box in front of the old man. As soon as the old man looked at the four sides of the wooden box covered with gold, he knew that it was definitely precious jewelry, and he bowed deeply in surprise, "Mr. is rich and noble, and the little old man is fortunate to have three lives." Holding the wooden box, he hurriedly said, "Sir, please." ”

Yiyuan smiled: "There is a trivial matter that annoys me below, I don't know if it is convenient for the old man to reward him?" ”

"Mr. has something to say, the little old man is still quite accessible in the Gongzi Mansion."

"There is a concubine below, and I have admired Mrs. Gongzi for a long time, so I asked me to bring a gift to Mrs. Because of the hurry of the next trip, I may not be lucky enough to see the lady's demeanor. The old generation of the annoying family will transfer the lady below, and then make a special trip to visit the lady with the concubine on the next day. I don't know if it's possible? "A seat is gentle and elegant, but giving people good things is like asking for people, teaching people to be useful.

The old man's face flushed, and he hugged the box and said, "It is a great honor for the little old man to serve his wife on behalf of Mr. ”

Yiyuan took a jade box with a faint green light under the wind lamp from the hand of the handsome servant, and held it up with both hands, "Old family, this is a mink fur from the country of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions, melting the snow three feet away. There is still a concubine in the box, please transfer it to Mrs. ”

The old man said respectfully: "Mr. is really an elegant person, and the little old man will go to see Mrs. immediately." He replied and said, "Where is the gate?" "A goalkeeper who looks like a general came running. The old man solemnly ordered: "The leading student went to see the son, and told the son that the lady called me for something, and I will come immediately." ”

The general of the gate agreed, and humbly led the three masters and servants to the main hall.

Childe Wei is admiring a famous sword in the hall. From the sword stand, the scabbard of this sword is mottled with patina, and the sword body is about two feet long, which is obviously a precious ancient sword. Whenever waiting for the distinguished guests in the hall, Gongzi Wei is playing with this famous sword. In his opinion, the value of all the treasures in the palace is not as good as this famous sword.

During the Warring States War, owning a famous sword not only doubled its value and status, but also its practical value was even more extraordinary. Now he is waiting patiently here because his uncle Liang strongly recommended to him a giant merchant of Xue Kingdom, saying how this businessman has the style of the ancients, how he has the feelings of a famous man, how he has rare treasures in the world and how heroic his personality is, and said that this businessman has always lived in the most famous elegant room in Dong Xiangchun, and has become a large number of characters that celebrities and officials compete to get acquainted with.

Gongzi Wei was originally curious by nature, and after listening to his uncle Gongzi Liang's colorful introduction, he couldn't help but want to meet this mysterious businessman. Gongzi Liang made an appointment for him and said that he would visit tonight. How can the lantern be held for three moments and the guests have not yet arrived?

Of course, the biggest possibility is that Wang Street is congested, otherwise the guests who saw his son would not dare to come after the first moment of the unitary time. Speaking of which, the traffic flow on Wang Street is really helpless, it seems that you have to talk to King Wei, it is best to tear down the old red wall and widen Wang Street by three zhang, otherwise it is really inconvenient.

At this time, the warden walked in, "Report to the prince, Mr. Qi Guo has arrived." ”

"Where's the old man?" Childe was faintly displeased.

"Son, Mrs. calls the old family to have something, and the old man will lead Mr. first, saying that he will come in a moment."

Childe wanted to greet him at the door of the hall, but he didn't move, and waved his hand: "Go and invite Mr. in." The pawn door went out of the main hall, respectfully ushered the guests in, and quietly withdrew.

"In the Xia Xue Kingdom, I have heard for a long time that the son is wise and noble, and I came to visit."

Childe's eyes lit up! The swarthy young man in front of him had a big red and gold silk cloak and a six-inch-high black jade crown, he was heroic and mighty, and his bearing was extraordinary, and even the servants behind him were handsome and bright-eyed. Gongzi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, there was such a figure among the businessmen? His mind turned and he smiled and said: "Wei Wei doesn't dare to be a gentleman, please sit down and talk." At this time, the old man walked into the main hall lightly, and the prince ordered: "Serve tea to Mr." ”

Yiyuan sat down in the guest seat on the east side, and the handsome servant stood solemnly behind him. The old man brought the tea vessel and handed an excited look to the guest when he leaned over to operate. The luxurious guest smiled knowingly.

Gongzi sat down on the main seat, raised the teacup and said, "Sir, please." ”

Yiyuan respectfully raised the teacup, "Wu tea is precious, thank you son." "Take a sip and taste it very elegantly.

"Mr. knows the preciousness of Wu tea, and he has seen a lot." Gongzi did not forget that the other party was just a businessman and was very reserved.

"I don't have anything else to do here, but I know a little bit about the world's famous swords, and the son smiled."

"Oh?" Gongzi Wei smiled and said: "Listening to the rumors in Anyi, Mr. Yan is a businessman and has many talents. I have an ancient sword, Anyi is unexpectedly unrecognized, if Mr. can judge, it can be regarded as a sword family. The old man, bring the ancient sword. ”

Yiyuan waved his hand and said, "No." Appreciating the sword on the shelf, it shows its charm. As he spoke, he got up and walked to the front of the sword stand, and said with a smile: "Childe's ancient sword, the world's famous sword, is worth a lot of money." "When evaluating a sword, he usually holds the sword in his hand to look at the shape of the scabbard first, and then draws the sword out of the sheath to observe the sword body. However, this noble businessman just stood in front of the sword rack and looked at it, without the slightest intention of taking the sword in his hand.

Gongzi Wei was quite unhappy in his heart, and felt that this businessman was inevitably entrusted, so he came over and smiled lightly: "Mr. has good eyesight, the sword is comparable to Xue Candle." ”

Xue Zhu was a well-known sword master in the late Spring and Autumn Period. After King Goujian of Yue destroyed Wu and became the hegemon, he searched for twelve famous swords in the world, and invited Xue Zhu to assess the authenticity. Twelve swords were juxtaposed with the sword frame in the hall, and Xue Zhu walked all the way, pointing out that five of them were imitated by later swordsmiths.

After the sword forger of the Yue Kingdom opened the sword and discussed it, it was confirmed that what Xue Zhu said was correct. For a time, Xue Candle Xiang's sword was famous all over the world and was called the sword god. Gongzi Wei made such a comparison, obviously mocking this businessman's class for making an axe.
