Section 1 Heroes are born
In this historic land of China, there is an unwritten historical rule: "The world must be divided for a long time, and it must be divided for a long time", which can explain all the wars and peace that have appeared in Chinese culture. At the same time, it can also encompass the great achievements of any famous figure in history, because it is precisely with this era that they have their stage.
The State of Qi, a country in that era with a land area second only to the Southern Chu State, had a rich people and a good national style; The people respect the old and love the young, and they will not leave the road behind. It is really the best place for the people to go in that era full of * flavor.
And all this is thanks to Emperor Qi Tai, that is, King Qi Guangwen, the eldest son of the former emperor of Qi. When he was a child, he often went out of the palace to mingle with the common people, and deeply realized the difficulty of people's lives. So he was determined to change the law.
After nearly 20 years of hard work, his efforts have been transformed into today's fruitful results. However, the countries around Qi are eyeing this paradise on earth, and the smell of war is getting stronger and stronger.
At noon on this day, in Nanjin City, the capital of Qi State, an extremely loud baby cry came from a large mansion. Then, as soon as a person in court clothes sat down in the hall, a maid came to report: "Master Yuwen, Mrs. is born, she is a young master!" The man put down the teacup he had just held and ran in the direction of the baby's cry...
Here, it is the mansion of Yuwen Xuanliang, the then prime minister of Qi State--- Yuwen Mansion.
And the person wearing the court uniform is Yuwen Xuanliang, the left prime minister of Qi State.
Came to the back hall, bypassing the rockery, Yuwen Xuanliang didn't have time to admire the unique rockery and pond as usual, he walked quickly to his back house.
Walking into Madame's bedroom, he saw the child in the maid's hand for the first time, the cry was deafening, he took the child, and walked to the Madame, who was close to collapse: "Madam, thank you for your hard work." His wife shook her head: "It's all right, sir. He ordered the maid to call the housekeeper Wang Qiang over, and then he said to his wife: "Madam, I have already thought of a name for this child, and now we don't want the people to fall into dire straits, so let's name it Yu Wenxie!" ”
Walking out of his wife's bedroom, Yuwen Xuanliang saw Wang Qiang, the housekeeper who was already waiting here, and said to him: "Old Wang, first, you go and pass the word orally, call the three princes, nine kings and sixteen important ministers in the court, and I will personally invite the king of Jin to come to the house for a banquet tonight; Second, I ordered people to put up lanterns, dress up Yuwen Mansion with a new look, and set up a banquet in the heart of the rockery lake and the fish viewing corridor, and we will celebrate the birth of the young master tonight; Third, you go to the back kitchen, let them not be stingy with money, let the chefs write a recipe for entertaining VIPs for the New Year, show me first, and then immediately go to the street to prepare! Fourth, prepare a sedan chair, I want to go to the Jin Palace! ”
After instructing Wang Qiang to do four things, he asked Wang Qiang to retreat, came to the front gate by himself, got into a sedan chair, and walked away in the direction of the Jin Palace. . .
Came to the main gate of the Jin Palace, the people on the house fell off the sedan chair, Yuwen Xuanliang walked down from above, and the guards at the gate of the Jin Palace, saw that it was Yuwen Xuanliang, the prime minister of the left, and only hugged his fist: "Yuwen Prime Minister, please!" Under the gesture of the doorman, Yuwen Xuanliang walked into the Jin Palace.
When he came to the study of the Jin Palace, he saw a young man around 20 years old with clear eyebrows, and the young man asked: "Xuanliang, you have just come to open my mansion for less than an hour, why did you come back again?" What's wrong? Yuwen Xuanliang was just about to give a full salute, but was stopped by King Jin: "Flat, talk about it." He said to the King of Jin: "King Jin, the minister's wife has added a young master to the minister, you see, can you come to the cold house tonight, give Weichen a face, so that the minister can fulfill the friendship of the landlord." "Okay, okay, this king must go to your mansion tonight to celebrate Aiqing!" King Jin put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said to Yuwen Xuanliang. "King Xie Jin appreciates the light, and Weichen is grateful!"
Walking out of the Jin Palace, greeting the people at home, Yuwen Xuanliang sat in a sedan chair and headed towards the imperial city. . .
Came to the imperial study, Yuwen Xuanliang met Emperor Qi Tai in the voice of the eunuch's report, after experiencing some necessary etiquette, Yuwen Xuanliang said what he said to the King of Jin to Emperor Qi Tai, Emperor Qi Tai clapped his hands and praised: "Good, good!" The eldest young master of the Yuwen family, the head of the four major families of our Qi Kingdom, was born, and I will definitely prepare a generous gift to send it to the mansion tonight, so let the King of Jin go to celebrate on my behalf! After Yuwen Xuanliang thanked him, he slowly withdrew from the imperial study, and the housekeeper Wang Qiang was already waiting for Yuwen Xuanliang outside the main gate of the imperial city: "Master, all the notices of the four major families have been completed, and the officials of the court and the central government have also been told, just wait for you to go home and read the menu, and our back kitchen will start to be busy!" Yuwen Xuanliang nodded, walked onto the sedan chair, "Get up the sedan chair and go home!" ”
At night, as the capital of Qi State, Nanjin City is brightly lit, the traffic is busy, and people who have been busy all day are going to the street to taste fragrant tea with two or three friends after dinner, discussing the past and the present. In a large mansion in the city, it was even more lively. This mansion is the Yuwen Mansion.
The lights are colorful and beaming. It is very appropriate to describe tonight's Yuwen Mansion, all the political celebrities in Nanjin City gathered together, especially the four major families in important positions, in order to congratulate the "dragon head" Yuwen family, the heads of the three major families gathered together: the head of the Long family: Long Yinyan; Head of the Lu family: Lu Boyuan; Head of the Li family: Li Fuliang. are all happy for Yuwen Xuanliang. Yuwen Xuanliang and the housekeeper Wang Qiang returned the salutes to the guests at the main gate one by one, and the results were one by one. In the end, a dragon stopped in front of the door of Yuwen Mansion, after the coachman and the eunuch put the stairs and carpet, the King of Jin walked down from above, with his cronies, and walked towards Yuwen Xuanliang, Yuwen Xuanliang was just about to give a salute, King Jin waved his hand: "Aiqing does not have to be formal, this king is not formal, not to mention the relationship between you and me." King Jin and Yuwen Xuanliang laughed after looking at each other. Yuwen Xuanliang took the gift list of King Jin with both hands and told the housekeeper Wang Qiang: "The guests are all here, close the main door, light up all the lanterns, wait for the banquet to start in a while, put candles and lamps in the fish viewing pond, take out our own old wine cellar in Yuwen Mansion, open two large altars, and let all the guests return happy!" The housekeeper Wang Qiang nodded and ordered.
Under the guidance of Yuwen Xuanliang, the king of Jin and the heads of the other three major families passed through the fish-watching cross corridor where the banquet had already been arranged, and after hugging the fists with everyone, the five people walked directly to the big table in the heart of the rockery lake, Yuwen Xuanliang and other high-ranking officials who sat down to greet each other, everyone sat down, Yuwen Xuanliang raised his glass: "You are all my great Qi people, tonight can come to the cold house to give the minister a face, celebrate the birthday of my dog, I am grateful, I do it first!" After speaking, he took the cellar old wine handed over by Wang Qiang, blocked it with his sleeve, and drank it all. Ladies and gentlemen, don't be restrained tonight, just like at home, eat and drink well, everyone is free! After everyone returned a cup, they moved their chopsticks.
