Chapter 626: Re-entering the Palace
(Ask for subscription, please for subscription!!) Commuter passes and recommended tickets are also walking up and making a fuss!! )
At the gate of Shangluo City, Wei Wuji and his party were not questioned too much, and then they were able to enter the city.
There is a world of difference between the inside and outside of the city wall, and the white flags that are scattered outside can be seen everywhere inside the city wall.
The shops and residential areas lining the streets, including the bustling pedestrians on the road, are a plain color as far as the eye can see.
"This is, the entire Shangluo is wearing filial piety for the Son of Heaven!" Wei Wuji said with emotion.
This is the reason why he is rare and strange, the countries have a single reaction and the king has died, and that is the rhythm of the whole country wearing filial piety. Because of its decline, the Zhou room only let Shangluo City do this.
"Master Qu, shall we go to the palace to worship first?" Wei Wuji asked.
Qu Weidao shook his head, and then replied: "Childe, we should go to the pavilion to stay first, and someone will lead us into the palace tomorrow morning to pay respects!" ”
Wei Wuji nodded, Qu Weidao was very professional in this regard, he could worry a lot less.
Soon they rushed to the place of the building, because they were worried that the countries would have conflicts over the position of the building, so the Zhou Room arranged the order for everyone.
But when Wei Wuji arrived, he found that the five great powers of Qin, Chu, Qi, and Wei and Wu were in the middle and the best location.
Second-class countries such as the Tang and Song dynasties, Zhengliang, and Bashu are relatively close to the outside, while those third-rate small countries with only one line of land are some simple small courtyards in the outermost periphery.
And this time, Wei Wuji also found that Chen Guo, the old rival at the beginning, did not appear here.
"Although Chen Guo is dilapidated, but after all, Guozuo is still there, why is he so rude and doesn't go up to Luo!" Wei Wuji was a little puzzled.
Qu Weidao replied: "Son, the Chen State is now attached to the Qin State, but it has existed in name only...... At the beginning, their request to attach the Zhou Room was refused, and they had a grudge with the Son of Heaven, and it was normal not to go to court! ”
Wei Wuji nodded, the current Chen State is indeed difficult to be regarded as an independent country, and after the annexation of the Zhou Chamber is not successful, they will completely fall to the Qin State, and they will almost become the Chen County of the Qin State.
"Big countries compete for power, small countries are like duckweed in water, and a wolf's head can make him irreversible!" Wei Wuji sighed.
Qu Weidao continued: "It's not just the Chen State, since the ninth year of Zhou Wang Zhao, there has been the destruction of the Xu State and the Cai State in three years...... Just outside the building, presumably Childe didn't notice these two countries! ”
Wei Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, not only did he not notice these two countries, he didn't know that these two countries existed.
This kind of third-class small country, Wei Wuji has the heart to pay attention to it.
"By whom did these two kingdoms be destroyed?" Wei Wuji asked.
Qu Weidao replied: "The State of Xu was destroyed by the State of Qin, and the State of Cai was destroyed by the State of Ba!" ”
In three years, these two small states were destroyed, and it is conceivable that in the more than 100 years when the Zhou Dynasty was in decline, I don't know how many princes and societies perished.
"The general trend of the world will be combined for a long time...... A big country merges a small country, and it is enough for me to be the final victor! Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
In fact, when he said this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but wonder if Xu Guo, who was now sandwiched between Qi and Wu, was one of the next princes to disappear.
Even if you think farther, the second-class power Lu State, which was forcibly ceded land, may not be far from destruction!
Later, Wei Wuji and Qu Weidao didn't talk anymore, this is not the time to be nostalgic for the past and hurt the present, this is Zhou Shangluo, and there is a lot of crisis here.
If the Chu people and Qin people next door came to look for trouble tonight, then he would not have a good time, Wei Wuji knew this very well.
But when night came, Wei Wuji lay on the bed and his heart gradually calmed down, a beautiful woman gradually appeared in his mind.
That was Ji Bangyue, the person who cared him the most in Shangluo.
Originally, Wei Wuji had planned to go to someone tonight, but he still knew that he would not be able to find Ji Bangyue at this time, and as a princess, she must be guarding the spirit in the palace at this time.
Therefore, Wei Wuji still had a trace of anticipation for tomorrow's worship, at least he could see Ji Bangyue.
Unfortunately, when this sense of anticipation became deeper and deeper, he also lost sleep due to the excitement in his heart.
The feeling of insomnia was not good, which made Wei Wuji's spirit inevitably a little sluggish when he got up the next day.
After breakfast, they waited in the courtyard for the summons of the palace envoys, and when the meeting was not only Wei to enter the palace, all the envoys who arrived in Shangluo would enter the palace to worship until the burial of the Son of Heaven was over.
This means that for the next ten days, Wei Wuji had to enter the palace every day to guard the spirit of the Son of Heaven, and there was not much free time.
It was not until after the sun rose that the eunuchs entered the pavilion and carefully knocked on the door from door to door, reminding the envoys of various countries to prepare to enter the palace.
At this time, Wei Wuji put on his white filial piety clothes and walked outside the pavilion accompanied by Qu Weidao, where the carriage arranged by the palace was already waiting.
You can't bring too many people into the palace to worship, it's the same for any country, so only Qu Weidao accompanied Wei Wuji.
Soon after entering the carriage, Wei Wuji could feel the movement of the carriage, and the pavilion was not too far from the kingdom, and it would not be long before he could reach it.
At this time, Wei Wuji closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, he didn't sleep enough last night, so he could catch up on sleep at this time.
But he didn't have to wait long, at least Wei Wuji's feeling was like this, and he was woken up by Qu Weidao, and the palace had arrived.
When Wei Wuji got off the bus, he found that dozens of people were already standing in the small square in the palace, and the envoys of the princes of the world were also here.
And he soon saw his old acquaintance again, the envoy of the Chu State was still the original son Xiong Jun, and the other party was also looking at him at this time.
Xiong Jun's eyes looking at Wei Wuji at this time were very cold, or murderous, after all, the two countries were at war, and it could be said that the enemy was meeting.
"It turned out to be Gongzijun, when I said goodbye to Luo, we haven't seen each other for three years!" Wei Wuji took two steps forward, as if he really greeted Xiong Jun like an old friend.
At this time, the man beside Xiong Jun stepped forward, blocking between Wei Wuji and Xiong Jun, his face full of vigilance.
Wei Wuji was suddenly a little confused, could he be so unpopular? The hearts of the people of Chu are too small.
He knew that it made sense for others to guard against him, after all, Wei Wuji's personal force value was too high, what if he broke out and hurt people.
Just when Wei Wuji was puzzled, he heard the man who stopped in front of Xiong Jun say in a deep voice: "Prince of Wei, this is His Royal Highness the Prince of Great Chu!" ”
Xiong Jun became the crown prince of Chu...... Wei Wuji couldn't help but be stunned, that was the position he could only think about, but the person in front of him was already sitting down.
At this time, Wei Wuji inevitably felt a sense of powerlessness, why was his life so bitter!
But at this moment, he saw Qu Weidao also take two steps forward, pointing at Wei Wuji and saying to the Chu State in front of him: "Presumptuous, this is my Great Wei Wu Yangjun, and you don't have to be the prince of Chu to be low in terms of position!" ”
