Snow flies in the north, and the country of Chu is cold.

Although it is not as dark as the maple leaves in the north, the autumn in the south is also a layer of autumn rain and a layer of coolness. Autumn is getting worse and worse, the sound is getting thinner and thinner, there are more and more fallen leaves, and the lotus leaves are becoming more and more remnant; The fields and forests, the palaces and gardens are full of autumn colors.

But the weather is just the weather, and this autumn is not any different from previous autumns. However, there were constant victorious battle reports coming from the front: the king defeated the Qin people in Handan, and the Qin people retreated overnight in fear; The Empress Dowager Zhao of Zhao is about to move south to Chu and will live in the northern city of Daliang;

In addition to the war report, there are several lively things. A few days ago, Yin Yin Sun Yu told the Empress Dowager that the valley of Dongzhou was abundant this year, and a large mu of grain was 1,000 catties, and the Zhengchao allowed to plant all over the Dongzhou Valley after harvesting millet this year.

A large mu is 240 steps, and the large mu of 1,000 catties is converted into a small mu and there are more than 400 Chu catties, which is basically the same as the yield of millet. However, the advantage of Dongzhou Valley is that you can also grow grain where you can't plant wheat, and after harvesting millet, you can plant a crop of Dongzhou Valley, and the grain harvested will be twice as much as in previous years.

The people take food as the sky, the Yin Yin tells good deeds, and the mansion creates something that has never been seen in the world. The steam engine that used to roar day and night in the north of the city actually came out on its own. The thing was smoking, spewing fire, snorting and blowing white air, and walked from the mansion to the big city with a big belly. On that day, there were thousands of empty alleys in Yingdu, and the nobles and ordinary people were all happy. The Queen Mother Zhao Ji, the prospective Queen Mother Mi Xuan, and the concubine and princess also went out of the royal city when they heard the news, and they went to the city to have a look.

It is said that this self-walking thing is called a fuyao horse, and if you add charcoal to its belly, it can pull a cart and help people work. Nowadays, the mansion, the carboniferous mine, the iron mine, the copper mine, the boat factory, and the weaving mill are all these things, but it is the first time that they have come out by themselves, so the whole city is a sensation.

Lu country many skilled craftsmen, legend has it that the public loss class once created a wooden magpie, flew in the sky for three days and three nights without falling, and now it is not surprising to create a Fu Yao horse that will walk by itself. It's just that the movement of the horse is really earth-shattering, and the appearance is big and the strength is also great. Stop and move, and it can produce twenty-two horses; As you walk, you can also exert the strength of six or seven horses.

Dongzhou Valley made the Chu people stable, Fu Yao Ma surprised the Chu people, and the king's crowned wedding at the end of the year made the Chu people sincerely happy. The fighting on the front line did not cause people to panic as they had been a few years ago, but because of the war, the price of millet in the market rose to 60 cents.

During the harvest season, the price of millet is high, and the peasants benefit, and the bad relations with the Qi State have caused the price of domestic silk and linen clothing and shoes to soar, and the profits of hundreds of workers are more than usual. The price of cloth has skyrocketed, and it is often difficult to find cloth in the market. Most of the common people who want to buy footsteps wait first, or wait for the sea boat to transport the Indian cotton cloth, or wait for the relationship between Chu and Qi to be restored, and the linen cloth of the Qi State will be transported into the Chu State again.

This was certainly the best era: the Chu army was invincible and conquered cities; The five grains have been harvested year after year, and the farmers have more than enough; There are countless craftsmen who build houses, and utensils emerge in endlessly; Haizhou connects overseas, cotton cloth, slave girls, butter, cane sugar, jade from India, ivory, tortoiseshell and rhino horn from the south, jujube wine from the Persian Gulf, wine ...... from the Mediterranean, all kinds of goods flood the Chu market and enrich the life of the Chu people.

But this is only a part of the life of the Chu people, the material part. The spiritual part lies in the fact that a large number of Indian, Persian, Greek, and Egyptian classics were translated by the Lantai Palace, and the ideas of the East and the West converged in the Lantai Palace, a royal palace of learning, and the debates and speeches of the Academy were no longer confined to ethics, but also involved logic, science, law, and politics.

Because of the worship of fire, the Greek drama "Prometheus" was also translated, and last year Qu Sui suggested that the royal court order Haizhou to bring back Bai Di Zhiyou, who could perform the drama, and let them perform this "Prometheus" in the royal palace to see what the Western Zhurong looked like.

The world, which is juxtaposed with the world, but is extremely awkward, is being mentioned more and more by the Chu people. As a tool connecting the world and the world, the sea boat is more and more cherished by the Chu people. However, in the Lanhua Palace under the autumn rain, Mi Xuan, who was about to become the king of Chu and was in charge of the world's largest merchant fleet, sat in the big room, and his expression couldn't help but be a little sad.

As a bride to be married, she is happy. Life seems to be in honey, and dreams are full of sweet tastes; As a daughter, however, she was afraid. Although Xiong Jing moved the entire Mi clan back to Chu and settled in the empty Jinlingyi, his father, who had sent an envoy to Chu with Uncle Ji, returned to Qin with Uncle Ji. Uncle Ji was torn apart by a car because of Tongchu, and his father was imprisoned in the Tingwei Mansion.

"What else does he know?" Mi Xuan wiped away her tears and asked again.

"Daughter-in-law, he only said so, but he didn't know ......" It was the Mi family who spoke. Through the Wei State, some news about Mi Ling came from time to time, and every time it came, he would enter the palace to inform Mi Xuan, and this time was no exception.

"They will not harm us, but they will ask for something." Mi Xuan understood the reason for the news. It's not the first time that the threat from the Qin State has come, the last time in Shangcai, my father personally told the Governor's Mansion to tell the Mi clan how to do it, if not, the whole clan will be punished, punished as a ghost salary, and moved to Shu Yunyun.

"The king loves his son-in-law very much, if this matter is reported to the king, it may be ......" Qi Qi said the idea in his heart.

"No." Mi Xuan shook his head: "The king is busy with state affairs, how can I let the king worry about other things anymore." ”

"If you don't tell the king, what should you do?" Qi Qi was puzzled. "Only the king can save it."

This is a country-to-country struggle, and it is not something that a third-rate clan like the Mi clan can handle. Qi Xuan was silent because she knew this. Seeing that she stopped talking, Qi Qi wanted to admonish a few more words, but finally sighed and got up to leave.

"To the queen," as soon as Qi Qi left, the temple people from the clothes came in to give advice. "Ask the queen to try on her wedding dress."

The maid had already brought in the wedding robe. Xuan represents the sky, symbolizing the mystery of heaven, among the colors, the Xuan color is the most noble, so the king's clothes are all mysterious. The dark color is the surface of the robe, and the inside is a white plain yarn, which is more visible between the black and white.

The colorful Zhai birds are not small, dense, and neatly embroidered on the robe, which is just the distorted imagination of the people of the Song Dynasty after the Qin Dynasty. The crown of the queen of the pre-Qin dynasty is opposite to the king's crown, which is embroidered with 12 chapters such as dragon, mountain, Chinese insect, fire, Zongyi, algae, powdered rice, sun, moon, and morning, and the queen's robe is embroidered with 12 birds.

The beauty-loving Chu people did not fully follow the Zhou etiquette, and Zhai Bird was regarded as a sacred bird like a phoenix and a phoenix, and just one was exaggeratedly embroidered all over the robe. The female officer in the clothes department helped Mi Xuan put on her robe, trimmed her hair, and took on a deputy, and Mi Xuan, who walked in front of Lu Li's mirror, suddenly stared at her beautiful eyes, and couldn't believe that the person in the mirror was herself. Xuanyi Caizhai and Gao Deputy Meijia, she suddenly became a phoenix bird.

In the mirror, beauty has been quietly hidden, and dignity is everywhere. It no longer matters whether she is beautiful or not, that is the pursuit of concubines and beauties, and for the queen, the most important thing is dignity and majesty.

"This clothes ......" Qi Xuan felt a little dizzy as soon as she spoke, she was not a stern person, but wearing this robe, she seemed to have become an aunt and thorn, every move, every word decided the life and death of countless people and the fate of the country.

"Does the queen have any grievances?" Si Yi is very satisfied with the effect of Mi Xuan's try-on, the robe and Mi Xuan match, she can wear the majesty of the queen.

"This clothes ......" Qi Xuan didn't look at Lu Lijing again. From Que Di to a robe, from a lover to a queen, although she had been mentally prepared, she still couldn't accept this change when she saw herself wearing a robe. In a little more than a month, she will marry Xiong Jing.

"Son-in-law, slave and maid eavesdropping, no one knows when the king of Chu will return to Yingdu, but ......" Mi Xuan tried on clothes in Lanhua Palace, outside the palace, the reverse journey in the autumn rain seemed a little deserted, it was not the season for the return of the sea boat, and most of the reverse brigades in Yingdu were empty.

When the maidservant spoke, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but be a little disappointed. In the past few months, she has been running around, just to see Xiong Jing. But the king's itinerary is not known to her, a son of another country. And this matter is too confidential, and she can't tell Uncle Zhong's grandson, so she can only break in like a headless fly.

With the identity of the niece of Shangcai County's Shougong Sun Mao, she ran between Yingdu, Nanyang, and Daliang for several months, either missing Xiong Jing, or the front and back feet, thinking of Xiong Jing's crowned wedding in December, and Chu moved its capital to Ji Ying in November, she simply waited in Yingdu. During this period, some information about Xiong Jing's whereabouts can be seen from the Dachu news. Wine shops and restaurants can also find out some news.

"Just how?" Gongsun Yan can drink. The clan of the grandson, the source is messy, as long as the ancestors are called the father, the descendants can be the grandson.

"It's just that some people in the wine shop say that King Zhao is about to go to Daliang, and King Chu should go to Daliang with King Zhao." The maidservant said. "Instead of waiting in Yingdu, it is better to go to Daliang again, if the king of Chu is in Daliang, you can see it, if the king of Chu is not in Daliang, it is not too late to return to Yingdu."

What the maid said was completely reasonable, but thinking that she was about to see Xiong Jing, Gongsun Yan suddenly felt a little dazed. She hadn't thought about what to say to Xiong Jing, did she mean that the queen was coerced by the Qin people to kill him? Or do you want to tell him that you want to be his young envoy?

Will he believe in himself? Do you think that you are so obsessed and deliberately slandered the queen in order to be his young envoy? If he doesn't believe it, what should he do?

Thinking about these questions, Gongsun Yan couldn't help but be in a daze, in fact, she couldn't tell why she wanted to see Xiong Jing. There is both longing and guarding. If you really want to distinguish between the two, you can't do it at all. But in order for Xiong Jing to believe that she had no other purpose, she would rather not be his young envoy.

She is a Wei person, and the Wei people face the Qin people, live in the heart of the world, and are most sensitive to changes in the situation in the world. The Zhao people moved south, and the world will fall. The only one who can prevent the Qin people from annexing the world is the state of Chu. Xiong Jing, who is the king of Chu, but if something happens, the Qin people will inevitably benefit, how can she watch Xiong Jing being killed by the Qin people?
