Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared.

Before the Heavenly Palace attacked the old minister Zhong Shanfu, in the cold wind of this winter, Zhong Shanfu, the secretary of the Zhou royal family, fell ill.

The old minister, who has worked all his life for the royal family, finally can't support it.

The capital of the Zhou royal family, Hojing.

At this time, Zhou Tianzi Ji Gongyan was wrapped in thick clothes in the palace and listening to music. In the curling sound, the young man closed his eyes and slowly admired the playing and singing of the palace maids.

"Father Yushi, what do you say is the difference between this Yale and those mountain and wild music?" After listening to the song, the heavenly womb asked Yu Shi's father.

Formulated in the early years of the Western Zhou Dynasty, Yale together with laws and etiquette constituted the internal and external pillars of royal rule, which ordinary people could not hear at all.

"Is this Yale? Just like the mountains and flowing water, natural and elegant; And the rhythm of those mountains? It was like the cry of a wild donkey, which had no advantage other than being loud. Father Yu Shi explained.

"Well---, you're right, when the lonely king was still the crown prince in those years, he often went out with a few of you to play, and I have listened to the music of the mountains and fields many times, which is basically the sound of donkeys shouting and horses barking, without a little beautiful feeling. Speaking of which, this Yale sounds good! ”

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, Yale and Yayan were the patents of the royal family, and they were a collection of tunes composed by the best musicians in the world.

But when today's son doesn't care about this, he just wants to compare the tunes of the mountains and fields with Yale, and by the way, mock the people.

"Okay, since Yale is the best music in the world, how about the Lone King enjoy another song with you?" Heavenly Uterus said generously to Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu.

"To be able to enjoy with the Son of Heaven is the best thing for courtiers." Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu hurriedly said.

At this moment, the chamberlain walked in, "Your Majesty, the imperial doctor sent someone to tell you that the royal secretary Zhong Shanfu is seriously ill. ”

Nakayama Fu is seriously ill?

When Tian Gongyu heard this, he couldn't help but look at Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu beside him, "Isn't he so good if he doesn't die, how could he get sick so quickly?" ”

"Zhong Shanfu is already an old minister. This person is prone to illness when he gets old, and he looks good today, maybe he won't be able to get up after sleeping. So it's normal for Nakayama to get sick. Yin Qiu replied.

"He's sick, he's sick, and there's no need for King Gu to remove him from his position. Hmph---, for most of the past six months, this old thing has been looking for trouble for the lonely king. Hearing the news that Zhong Shanfu was seriously ill, Tian Gongyu did not feel sad, but said happily.

Father Yu Shi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, although Zhong Shanfu has not been looking for trouble for the king for most of the past half a year, as the most important minister of the royal family, he is sick, and he is seriously ill, so it stands to reason that the king wants to visit his mansion. ”

"The lone king went to his house to visit him? If you don't go, if you don't go, the lonely king wishes he would die early? The Heavenly Palace said with his head shaking like a rattle.

Seeing this, Father Yu Shi glanced at Yin Qiu and motioned for him to talk to the Son of Heaven again.

Although the two of them knew that they didn't like Zhong Shanfu and other old ministers very much, as people who grew up in the Guanzhong Princely State, Yu Shifu and the others knew that some procedures that should be followed still had to be reached.

After all, the Zhou royal family is a dynasty that talks about etiquette, and it is also an era of governing the world through Zhou etiquette.

As the spokesperson of the royal family, how could Zhou Tianzi take the lead in not abiding by the etiquette law?

Yin Qiu understood, so he said to the Heavenly Palace: "What Prince Shifu said is very right, Zhong Shanfu, as the most important minister of the royal family, should indeed go to the palace to visit after he is sick. One can show the importance that the Son of Heaven attaches to this minister, and express an affirmation of his hard work for the royal family in these years; At the same time, it can also play a role in buying the hearts and minds of ministers. Besides, since the king ascended the throne, there have been many conflicts with the ministers, and now that Zhong Shanfu is seriously ill, can the ministers all watch? The king should go and see! ”

After hearing this, Tian Gongyu said reluctantly, "Isn't it just to visit the condition, why do you want to pay so much attention to it?" Speaking from the heart, King Gu was very disgusted with this Zhong Shanfu, and even felt extremely disgusted. Since both of you want King Gu to visit Zhong Shanfu's illness, then you should accompany King Gu to go together, otherwise, King Gu will never go to Zhong Shanfu's mansion. ”

The Son of Heaven is still a child after all, and talking about anger is like being angry.

When Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu heard this, they immediately objected: "Your Majesty, visiting a sick minister is an important matter for the royal family, you see that the two of us are not even ministers until now, why should we go with the king to visit the ministers?" If you don't go, it's enough, but this time it has left a handle for others, so let's go there in person, and the two of us will wait for the king's return in the palace. ”

"Hmph---, you don't want to go, do you? Well, the Lone King won't go. Anyway, I'm very disgusted with this Nakayama Fu. As soon as Tian Gong heard that Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu were unwilling to go to Zhongshan Fu's mansion with him, he said to them angrily.

This really stumped Father Yu Shi and Yin Qiu, they knew that this young son of heaven was very temperamental, once he was stubborn, he wouldn't care about what etiquette and law he did.

Father Yu Shi was smart in the end, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he immediately had an idea, so he said to the Heavenly Palace: "Your Majesty, do you look like this?" I accompanied the king to the Zhongshanfu Mansion, but according to the rules I was not allowed to enter. How about the king go into the palace to visit Zhong Shanfu, and I am waiting for the king's return outside the door. ”

Tian Gongyu knew that this weekly ritual was formulated by his ancestors, and it was used to restrain the princes and people of the world, and of course, it was also used to restrain the royal family itself.

I didn't expect to use this week's gift for myself today. Since Father Yu Shi is already willing to accompany him to Zhong Shanfu's mansion, what else does he have to say?

I had no choice but to respond: "In this case, the Lone King will not embarrass you, how about we go to Zhongshan Fu's mansion after listening to this music?" ”

Yes?

The most important ministers of the royal family are already sick, and Zhou Tianzi is still in the mood to visit after listening to a piece of music, which is really a strange thing in a strange way.

But they also knew that it was already very good that Tian Gongyan could agree to visit Zhong Shanfu. If he dares to ask for more, who knows what more strange ideas he will come up with?

The two had no choice but to accompany Tian Gongyan to listen to another piece of music.

"Your Majesty, it's not too early, how about we go to Zhongshan Fu's mansion?" After listening to Yale, Father Yu Shi said.

"Hey---, what's so good about the Son of Heaven, it's all these all day long, how good it would be if someone could take care of all these hearts for the lonely king!" Tian Gongyan muttered as he got up.

"What's so difficult about this, after these old ministers are dead, the king can reappoint a group of ministers he trusts to important positions, won't this matter be solved?" Father Yu Shi said to the Heavenly Palace with a smiling face.

"Okay, after Zhong Shanfu dies, King Gu will appoint you as the secretary of the royal family, and when the time comes, how about you worry about everything in the world for King Lone?" Tian Gongyu said as he changed his clothes.

Yes?

After listening to the words of the Son of Heaven, the eyes of Yu Shifu and Yin Qiu widened, and they looked at each other in surprise.
