Chapter 1 Emperor Ji Meng Jiang
"Look, Maharaja, this ...... But how is it good? Gonggong Cao leaned over with trembling hands to present the letter of the Emperor of Chu, not daring to look into the eyes of the king.
"Huh......" Meng Jun glanced at it and gasped.
"I really don't know what this King of Chu thinks? Kicked in the head by a donkey! The whole world knows that Lone only has five sons, where can the princess be sent to Chu and Qin? even promised the position of the crown princess! Willing to offer five cities as a dowry! How good is that? Invite all the princes and cabinet ministers to come and meet you quickly. β
"Yes, Maharaja" Gonggong Cao quickly bowed and exited the door, summoning the ministers to the palace to discuss.
"Yu'er, do you have a solution?" The prince of Meng spread the marriage book of Chu on the desk, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.
Meng Jun couldn't think of what to do. I hope that my best son can do something. Meng Guojun looked at the young man in the audience, the young man was dressed in a yellow dress, wearing a golden crown, and a white jade around his waist, standing upright and calm.
The Yu'er in Meng Jun's mouth is the second prince Meng Jinyu, Meng Jinyu is humble and polite, steady, often waiting for Meng Jun, participating in political affairs, and learning the way to govern the country. There are also several emperors who have taught each other in person, and they are quite successful in their studies, and they are the best candidates for the future prince.
"Father, don't worry, it's not too late to wait for Dr. Wei, Dr. Zhang and Dr. Yan to go to the palace to discuss." Meng Jinyu leaned over and said.
"It's fine." Meng Jun sighed.
"Afraid of what? Maybe it's because Chu and Meng are far apart, and the monarch of Chu is not well-informed, so I don't know that my Meng country has not yet established a princess. Father didn't have to pay attention to them. Meng Rong, the fourth prince who heard the news, shook the bone fan lightly, walked slowly into the front of the hall, and blocked the mocking smile behind the bone fan.
The third prince, Meng Ji, glanced at Meng Rong with disdain, and asked rhetorically: "It's easy to say, the Chu State uses five cities to marry the princess of the Meng Kingdom, you are willing to do it, and the father has to ask for it." Moreover, the state of Chu was strong and the state of Meng was in decline. If this matter is not handled well, it will refute the face of Emperor Chu, and it is very likely to bring disaster to the Meng State. When the GIs are overwhelmed, I see if you'll be able to laugh like you do now. β
It is also strange to say that Meng Guo has not given birth to a little princess for many years, but the prince has been born one after another, and it has never been broken. I don't know if this is a blessing or a curse.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of excellent princes to inherit the unification in Meng, and this disaster is precisely because these five princes are all excellent and occupy important positions in domestic politics and economy. It is not certain that someone will instigate the princes to have a disobedient heart to seek the dynasty and usurp the throne, threatening the safety of the monarch and the crown prince. If the brothers fight against each other and the five kings compete for the crown prince, there will be a rebellion in the kingdom of Meng.
Meng Jun was overthinking and couldn't sleep well. Fortunately, in these years, Meng Guo has been peaceful and peaceful, the wind and rain have been smooth, and Meng Jun has no worries about state affairs for the time being.
Unexpectedly, the Chu State suddenly became difficult, and he had to marry a princess of the Meng Kingdom. If you find someone to rush to replace the foolishness, I am afraid that it will cause more trouble.
The territory and military strength of the country are inferior to the big countries of Chu, Qi, Yan and Zhao. If it weren't for the mutual containment of the major powers, I am afraid that Meng would have been carved up by the great powers long ago and reduced to a subject country. What about marriage?
"King, the old minister has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." Doctor Wei stroked his beard and said.
"Doctor Wei, please speak." Meng Jun said.
In the civil strife, the princes and princesses calculated and killed each other because of the struggle for imperial power, and passed away one after another. The first emperor was benevolent and could not bear to see his brothers and sisters kill each other, so he deposed the three princes except His Majesty. The three princes were reduced to commoners, and no one cared about them. When Dr. Wei recalled the old events of the previous dynasty, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and his eyes were red.
When Meng Jun heard this, his eyes gradually moistened. Several other doctors couldn't help but be moved.
The first emperor suppressed the civil strife of the previous dynasty with iron and blood, and endured the pain of exiling several princes into exile, and the execution of execution, compared to being far away from the imperial power, becoming a concubine is the best destination.
The only one who is qualified to inherit the throne is the monarch of Meng in front of him, but the current monarch has not been able to inherit the decisiveness of the previous emperor at all, and is always indecisive and sentimental. If it weren't for the fact that there was no direct prince in the palace, and he was supported on the throne by several important ministers of the court, otherwise the imperial power of Meng would no longer exist.
What Dr. Wei said is extremely true. Pity my royal brothers, I don't know if they are still in the world and whether they are doing well. Meng Jun sobbed quietly.
The third emperor brother of the Maharaja is still alive and has a daughter named Jiang.
"That's true! The Third Emperor Brother is still there, is he doing well? Meng Jun stood up excitedly, crumpling the hem of his clothes in his hands.
King Zhao has no skills and stutters, and the family can only work hard to survive. Doctor Wei sighed. King Zhao is benevolent and close to the people, and is one of the few princes who does practical things for the people. "The queen mother's mother and son are connected, and they can't bear the hard work of King Zhao, so they secretly ordered the old ministers to take care of King Zhao's family and help him when he is in urgent need."
"Doctor Wei has worked hard, he is lonely and unfilial, and he makes his mother worried, and his brother is struggling to live, which is Lonely's fault." Meng Jun wiped away the tears that didn't exist in the corners of his eyes a few times.
"The Maharaja's words are serious, the Maharaja's day is full of opportunities, and we are willing to share the worries of the Maharaja." Dr. Wei lifted his court clothes and bowed down.
The ministers then bowed and bowed, echoing: "I am willing to share the worries and solve problems for the king." β
"If you come again, you will echo it, flatter and invite pets, and don't do practical things." Meng Rong whispered, gently shaking the bone fan to hide his disdainful expression behind the fan.
Meng Ji glanced at him and motioned for him to shut up.
Meng Jun helped Dr. Wei up. "I don't know how old the daughter of King Zhao is this year? Can her intelligence and appearance be worthy of the position of the crown princess of Chu State? β
The name of the little county lord is Jiang, and the word Lingjun is Lingjun. It's the age of jasper. It is rare to say that although King Zhao has been reduced to a concubine, he has not missed the teachings of the little county lord. The little county lord is now literate in the study school of the old minister's nephew, and helps the school to do some chores after school to subsidize the family. The small county lord is smart and studious, and has both good looks and appearances, so he can be entrusted with important tasks. β
"This is really a blessing for me!" Meng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "I also hope that Doctor Wei will invite the little county lord here." β
"Yes, Maharaja." Doctor Wei bowed, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes.
ββββI'm a dividing lineββββ
"Lingjun, I have saved up several clothes that I need you to wash." Wu Yue held the brush in his hand and crossed Erlang's legs, and his back fell on the cushion behind him.
"Okay." A young man in plain clothes was busy wiping his desk when he arrived.
"Lingjun, help me write a copy of the argument left by the master today, the old price." Wang Qiang threw the books on the table into his bag, and left. He wanted to take advantage of all the rest time to go to the backyard to watch the other classmates fight crickets before the servants came to call him home.
"Got it." The plain-clothed young man took the broken silver with one hand, and quickly wiped the last few desks with the other.
"Whew, finish one." The plain-clothed boy wiped his sweat with his sleeve. Reveal a beautiful face.
"Bright eyes and bright teeth, face like peach blossoms. Well, he also said that he didn't look like a woman. Don't hit me, it's too hard! Wu Yue just wanted to laugh at the young man in plain clothes, but he was caught off guard by the young man in plain clothes. Okay, okay, I'm a woman. β
"If you can't beat it, you can't hide it." As he spoke, Wu Yue propped up the edge of the window, jumped reflexively, and jumped out.
"That's right, but if it reaches the master's ears, it's not good, drive me out, and I'll be in trouble." Meng Lingjun put his hands in his hands and shook his head. "Hurry up and finish your homework so that you can help Daddy sell the goods." After speaking, he found a place to sit down, thought for a moment, picked up the pen and worked hard to write, and in a short time completed two completely different arguments. "Imitating handwriting is not a long-term solution, and we must urge Wang Qiang to familiarize himself with the arguments, otherwise he will be a gang." After speaking, he stuck out his tongue. Meng Lingjun packed up his things, put the bookbag back, and got up to leave.
After Meng Lingjun completely walked out of the school, a white-clothed young man with dark prints walked out of the corner. If you look closely, you can know that the dark pattern of the white clothes on this young man's body is not simple, and only the cloud dragon pattern can be used by the royal family of the Chu State.
"I'm back looking for you, Jiang."
"Daddy, I'm back." Meng Jiang put the bookbag on the couch. Go to the backyard and find Daddy.
His Royal Highness King Qiancheng, Meng Zhaozheng, was panting and sweating profusely, chopping firewood. Seeing this, Meng Jiang rolled up his sleeves and took the axe with one hand, "Daddy, let me come." β
"No, no, no, you, you, you...... Skinny skinny.... Small, dry and dry...... Not ....." Before Meng Zhao could finish speaking, Meng Jiang had already picked up the axe and divided the wooden block into two, crisply and neatly.
"You, you, you.... Pretentious ....."
"I've finished my homework."
"Books and Books ......."
"I'm done with the school."
"Rice Rice Rice ......."
"I'll cook the food after chopping wood. On the way home, I passed by Aunt Chang's steamed bun shop, I brought a few steamed buns, you pad your stomach first. I'm not hungry, I've already eaten a few on the way. β
"Good, good." Meng Zhao looked at the sensible and filial Meng Jiang and was very pleased, there was no stuttering problem, and he was smart and clever, and he was careful and thoughtful. It's not like I'm stupid and stupid, and I'm slow to do anything.
At this time, someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Is the owner of this house at home?" β
Meng Zhao hurriedly opened the door and raised his eyes to look at "Hey, hey, hey......."
The little guy said angrily: "I don't call for feeding." β
Meng Zhao's anxious defense: "Yes, yes, yes......"
Xiao Wu smiled: "It's good that you know." β
Meng Zhao continued to add: "No, no, no, no......"
"No, what, no?" The little guy was a little impatient.
"Don't be unreasonable, step back." Doctor Wei bowed his hand, "King Zhao, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing lately?"
Thank you a lot, Lord Wei Wei cares. I, I, I, I'm not the king of Zhaozhao anymore. Meng Zhao returned the salute. Do you have something to do, come in and talk about it. β
"Okay." Doctor Wei stepped into the courtyard and saw that Meng Jiang was swinging an axe and chopping wood in the courtyard, as if swinging a sword in the air. "If you want to love to join the army, you will definitely not let the women shave their eyebrows."
"Doctor, it's too good." Meng Zhao replied modestly, with pride and pride in his eyes that could not be concealed.
