Chapter 177: Worship the heavens and say goodbye to the ancestors
In 310 BC, Zhao Junyong traveled to the Great Tomb and met the second woman in his life... Meng Yao. Han Jiyao is the daughter of King Han Xuan, Ji's surname is Han, and she was born in the Korean royal family, and her status is extremely respectful. Meng Yao was the daughter of an official of the Great Tomb of Zhao State, and her status was low compared to it. But Meng Yao is a descendant of Yu, and his blood is noble. Although Zhao Jun married Meng Yao, he did not marry Han Jiyao at that time. Meng Yao did not have the scale when Han Jiyao got married. But any of Zhao Jun's six rites for marrying her is also indispensable.
Nacai, ask for names, Najib, Nazheng, invite, welcome, etiquette is over. Three months later, Zhao Junyong and Meng Yao held a big wedding in Handan. Zhao Yong named Meng Yao as his wife and let her enter the harem.
Marrying the man of your heart is a great thing in life. Being able to marry in a beautiful way is also the happiest thing for every woman. Meng Yao stayed in the harem, in addition to learning how to take care of the harem on the one hand, he also had to work hard to learn the etiquette system in the Zhao State Palace on the other hand. However, the cumbersome etiquette system cannot be learned overnight. The etiquette system in the palace also gave her a headache.
When there was no one around, Meng Yao looked at the glorious and majestic hall and sighed, "Everyone wants to marry into the court." If they knew that the etiquette system in the palace was cumbersome and that their words and deeds could not be wrong, would they still choose to enter the court? ”
Sigh to sigh, Zhao Guo's etiquette system, she still has to study it seriously. She is not only Zhao Yong's wife, but also Zhao Guo's wife. Her words and deeds and gestures represent the style of the Wang family. If you do something ridiculous in a major etiquette, it will hurt the dignity of the royal family and leave many jokes. Her every move, word and deed must conform to the palace etiquette. Otherwise, it will also provoke a lot of criticism. Once this kind of thing happens, it will bring problems to the control in the palace, and it will also create a lot of trouble for himself and Zhao Yong. If she spreads out in the palace because of inappropriate etiquette, it will also become a big joke and bring shame to the family.
Suddenly, Meng Yao felt an invisible pressure coming over her, making her unable to breathe.
After staying in the palace for a while, she would occasionally hear someone compare Han Jiyao with her. When Meng Yao heard this, he was not angry, but asked the people around him very much what kind of woman Han Jiyao was. She also wants to know what kind of love story her husband has with her.
When she asked others about Han Jiyao, these people would always avoid talking about it. It is said that the ruthless emperor is a family. Meng Yao was also thinking about what kind of person a woman who had been dead for many years and still made Zhao Yong miss her. She will also be quiet from time to time, and her eyes are envious: "A dead person can make the living person always think about the good of the other party." She's happy! ”
On this day, Zhao Yong came to the harem after dealing with national affairs, and saw her frowning, thinking that there was nothing important, and hurriedly asked, "How are you?" ”
A charming smile appeared on Meng Yao's cheeks and replied, "It's nothing. ”
In fact, Meng Yao didn't say it, and Zhao Yong could guess it. What can make her unhappy must be the extremely cumbersome etiquette in the palace. Meng Yao is different from Han Jiyao. Han Jiyao is a Korean princess who was born in the royal family. Since she was a child, someone taught her royal etiquette. Zhao and Korea also came out of the Jin Kingdom, and the royal etiquette also came from the Jin Kingdom. Zhao Yong didn't have to worry about Han Jiyao's mistakes in etiquette at all. However, Meng Yao was born in a family of scholars, so he naturally didn't know anything about royal etiquette. Although before the wedding, Meng Yao learned a lot of court etiquette of the Zhao State. However, if you learn it today, you will forget it quickly tomorrow.
Zhao Yong saw that she couldn't learn the etiquette in the palace, and she was not in a hurry. After all, Meng Yao was born in a family of scholars, not growing up in the royal family, and he had just entered the palace. It's forgivable to do something impolite.
Meng Yao's straightforwardness, innocence, and harmony are also the places that Zhao Yong cherishes the most. If you use etiquette to restrain her, wouldn't it wipe out her merits, or even completely change her. What Zhao Yong wants is a person who will not be changed by etiquette and always maintain himself. Taking a step back, she will one day be bound by the shapes and shapes of the palace rules. He also hoped that the day would come a little later.
All the ministers also said that they all hoped that Meng Yao would learn the etiquette system in the palace as soon as possible and go out to worship the heavens and ancestors, so as not to be laughed at by other vassal states and people in addition to mistakes in the procession.
Zhao Yong suppressed the remarks of these people and said to them: "It takes time for Madam to learn etiquette. Everyone saw that the king was too protective of Meng Yao, and they didn't say anything. They prayed that the woman would learn the etiquette of the palace as soon as possible. So much so that nothing goes wrong at the parade.
Meng Yao saw that Zhao Yong was silent for a long time and did not speak. mistakenly thought that she had not learned the etiquette system, which made him unhappy. Meng Yao let out a sigh, moved his long eyelashes, and asked embarrassedly, "Am I a little stupid?" ”
Zhao Yong looked at her, stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead, and said with a smile: "It's not a little, it's very stupid." ”
Meng Yao moved the corners of his lips and said, "You..."
Zhao Yong said with a smile: "Learn the etiquette system slowly, don't be in a hurry." ”
Meng Yao pouted and said, "I can't learn, so you're not in a hurry at all." ”
Zhao Yong hugged her waist and said with a smile: "It's useless for me to be in a hurry!" The widow has only one requirement for you, that is, you must not make mistakes in major ceremonies such as court meetings and memorials. As for normal times, you can do whatever you want and not be bound by the etiquette system in the palace. ”
Meng Yao looked at him fixedly and asked mischievously, "If you indulge me so much, aren't you afraid that I will make a mistake and embarrass you?" ”
Zhao Yong leaned close to her ear and said softly: "You are not afraid, and I am not afraid." ”
When Meng Yao heard this, he smiled and said, "Why do you want to protect me like this." ”
Zhao Yong replied: "Who called you my stupid woman." ”
Meng Yao didn't like it when he heard this, wrinkled his nose, pushed him away, and bowed: "Minister, thank you for your protection." ”
Zhao Yong glared at her and reminded, "Don't be too happy too early." You are my lady, and there are many etiquettes waiting for you. In the future, there will be times when you will suffer. ”
Meng Yao's face stiffened, rolled his eyes, and said bitterly: "I'm so tired." ”
Zhao Yong quipped: "You are my woman, Mrs. Jun of Zhao Kingdom, you still have to suffer this bit of suffering." ”
Meng Yao looked at him with pitiful eyes, and his mouth made a buzzing sound, "Don't accept this sin, it's okay." ”
Zhao Yong shrugged helplessly, shook his head, and replied firmly, "No." ”
Meng Yao listened to his sentence, held his forehead, and shouted, "My life is so bitter. ”
Zhao Yong stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said softly: "In three days, I will take you to worship the heavens and ancestors, you just have to be patient and suffer more." ”
On this day, the wind was crisp and the sun was shining. The honor guard of Zhao played drum music, and the chariot and horse team moved forward. On both sides of the streets of Handan, thousands of people are surging, and everyone is rushing to see the demeanor of the monarch and his wife. Zhao Yong and Meng Yao dressed up and sat in the car. Surrounded by the black-clothed guards led by Sima Wang and Tu Yi, and surrounded by important ministers, they marched majestically along the streets.
Zhao Yong waved at the cheering crowd. Meng Yao saw that he was coping with it, but his heart was pounding. Zhao Yong turned around and saw Meng Yao's nervous expression, and said softly, "Relax." ”
Meng Yao took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it.
Zhao Yong saw that she was in a stable mood and asked, "Are you better?" ”
Meng Yao moved the corners of his lips, "I'm still very nervous." ”
Zhao Yong grabbed her hand, saw that her palms were sweaty, looked at her with gentle eyes and said, "These people are our people, and this is our Handan." You just have to smile and accept their celebrations. Don't say anything, don't do anything. Just keep it that way now. ”
Meng Yao looked at him in a daze and asked, "Can I?" ”
Zhao Yong nodded and encouraged, "You will do well." ”
When everyone saw the convoy of the king and the gentleman and the gentleman coming, you pushed me and squeezed, and everyone was excited. The crowd also cheered continuously, and the roar shook the sky.
It was the first time for Meng Yao to face such a spectacular parade, and it was also the first time to see a huge crowd, and it was the first time to hear such cheers. Soon, Meng Yao readjusted his mentality and looked at Handan carefully with calm eyes. She looked at the people prostrate at her feet, and waved to everyone to thank everyone in the same way as Zhao Yong.
Zhao Yong saw that she had found Mrs. Jun's feelings, and nodded at her to show encouragement.
Li Dui said to Feiyi: "Handan hasn't been so lively for a long time. ”
Fei Yi smiled: "Yes! I remember the last time Handan was so lively, it was ten years ago. ”
"Yes! Ten years ago, Jun Shang and the Korean princess got married. Handan City is also full of people. Li Dui lowered his face and said in a low voice: "Xiangbang, I don't know whether to say something or not." ”
"I know what you're trying to say." Fei Yi glanced at the gentleman and Mrs. Jun on the Che Luan, "You want to say that the king is the king of a big country." In order for the Zhao State to develop better, it should be married to the Qi State and the Wei State. ”
"Meng Yao is neither the daughter of a vassal state, nor the queen of meritorious heroes. The king chooses Madame Jun..."
Fei Yi understood what he didn't say, and said with a smile: "Jun Shang has always been like this, and what he does will always exceed everyone's expectations. The king does not choose the daughter of the vassal state, but also the daughter of the clan of the vassal state. Why did I choose Mrs. Jun, I am often confused. ”
Li Dui said: "King Qin Hui married the daughter of the Wei clan and made him the queen. His younger brother won the disease and married the daughter of the Korean clan. Qin and Wei and Han will have a short-lived friendship. The Qin State used a few years to split Gongsun Martingale and stabilize the situation. Now Qin Wang Dang is also the daughter of the heir of the king of Wei. The king of Chu also married a beauty from the Wei clan, and the daughter of Naqi was his wife. It stands to reason that the king should marry the daughter of a vassal state, or the daughter of a clan, or a meritorious person. In order to strengthen the strength of the Zhao State in order to deal with the turbulent situation in the world. However, the behavior of the king is unpredictable. ”
"How can we figure out the character of the king?" Fei Yi paused and continued: "The king's choice of Mrs. Jun is for the so-called love. ”
"Love." Li Dui's eyes widened, obviously thinking that these two words were very surprising. If you are still in the king's house, how can you have love? Xu Guo, difficult Xu Qing. Xu Qing is responsible for his family. King Xu of Zhou You, praised him, and ended up ruining his family and destroying the country, and the world was in turmoil. Wu Wangfu sent a promise to Xi Shi, and was also restored by King Goujian of Yue, and his family was slaughtered. There is no heir.
As the saying goes... The red face is not old and the grace is the first to decide, and it is the most ruthless king's family
"This is perhaps one of the most unique, charismatic and attractive things about Junshang." After Fei Yi finished speaking, his eyes looked at the convoy again, and he said in his heart: "This is also the reason why I am loyal to the king." ”
