Chapter 15: Shun
"You're a prisoner." The indifferent words came out coldly from the mouth of the palace guard who was the leader, and the sword Ge in his hand added a bit of chill out of thin air.
In the deserted cells, the gray rats ran around on the straw, the smell of feces and urine filled the space, the lazy prisoners lay on their own turf, and the trivial officials outside complained.
The young Chao looked at this group of indifferent palace guards, they gave her a different feeling than others.
"The women are." Chao replied simply, the fear in her heart still couldn't be forgotten by her, even if they were different from other officials, but it was hard to guarantee that they were not the same dog.
The air around him suddenly condensed, and the indifferent palace guard said, "That's good, we are responsible for keeping you safe!" ”
Twelve palace guards stood on either side of the prison, like stone sculptures, motionless.
"Who are you? Why protect me? Chao, who had been silent for a long time, finally asked the words in her heart, she didn't understand why she did this, and what the purpose of doing this was.
Chao is just a foolish woman who has never been out of Fengyinyi.
"The palace guard." After a person answered indifferently, he never said a word again, even if Chao was asking bitterly beside him.
But after a while, the two little officials guarding the door came over, carrying food boxes in their hands.
"A few soldiers, do you want to eat something, this is a good corn porridge, and there are some wild vegetables made at home." With a rough face, the little official walked up to the palace guard led by him and said with a smile.
"No, you don't." The leader shook his head, he knew that at this critical time, any laxity would cause unnecessary trouble, and this task was directly sent by Lang Zhongling, if there was anything wrong, he might not be able to eat and walk around at that time.
The little official with pockmarks on his face pulled the rough little official, and said with a smile: "Several, I'll leave first." ”
......
"What to do? They won't be fooled, the Chao clan won't die, I'm afraid you and I won't be safe! Walking out of the cell, the rugged little official said in a deep voice, they can't get out of this case, and now they have to investigate, and they can't sleep well!
"For now, the only way to do this is to tell the patriarch first and let them deal with it." The pock-faced little official hesitated for a moment and said heavily.
"Okay, let's do it." The rugged little official nodded.
......
"Prepare the car, the widow will go to Anpingjun's mansion in person." Tian Jian looked at the bamboo slip in front of him and said in a deep voice, the two sword eyebrows added a little sorrow out of thin air, and the legs that knelt down were also a little sore.
Anping Jun Tian Dan did not reply to the news for a long time, and Tian Jian guessed that Tian Dan was afraid that Tian Dan wanted to refuse the trip euphemistically.
Not long after, a low-key carriage appeared in Anping Jun's Mansion.
"Father, the king has come." Tian Yu quietly walked to his father Tian Dan's side, bowed slightly, and said softly.
The incense of the musk orchid emanated from the three-legged small tripod of the bird and beast pattern, and the silk white mist turned into a pandan, and the maid standing next to her quietly shook the fan for An Pingjun, and the wine on the table was full of tea soup.
The sound of gurgling sounded from the small stove raised high, and the tea soup was already steaming, and Tian Dan smoothly added charcoal to the small stove.
"Hmm!" Tian Dan hummed softly, "Inform the family and greet the king." ”
"It's... The king is slightly convinced, I'm afraid this move will refute the king's will? Tian Jian frowned, Tian Jian's carriage only had three guards, a royal hand, and a maid, and it was obvious that this was a low-key trip.
And this meaning of his own father is afraid that he will offend the king.
"No, you don't understand the king's heart, the king wants to persuade your father and me to go to Fengyinyi to investigate the case, but if this precedent is opened, I am afraid that everyone in the country will be in danger, and the king's move is good or bad, but I am afraid that it will cause an uproar in the government and the opposition!" Tian Dan took a sip of tea soup and said leisurely.
"Father, can you change what the king wants to do?" Tian Qi hesitated for a moment and asked.
"I can't." Tian Dan shook his head lightly, and slowly put down the teacup in his hand, "Although I can't, I must do what I should do, otherwise I'm sorry for the first king, I'm sorry for the society of Qi country, the king is wrong, are we who are courtiers also wrong?"
If we're wrong, then... There is no one in the Qi country! ”
"Father!" Tian Yu bowed deeply.
......
"Uncle Wang, this welcome is a bit grand!" Tian Jian frowned, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said with a stiff smile.
The rows in front of me are full of Tiandan's family members, and there are about 20 people.
Tian Dan is a big businessman of Qi State, of course, his business is also in Jimo, the southern capital, and this mansion is also used by the Tian family to rest, and the family, who does not have more than a dozen sons in these years.
"No, the king is the lord of a country, although Tian Dan is old, he can't hold himself old and follow etiquette!" Tian Dan smiled and shook his head.
"Uncle Wang bothered." Tian Jian nodded lightly and agreed, "Let's go, the widow will go in with Uncle Wang." ”
Tian Jian took Anpingjun Tian Dan's hand and walked slowly towards the lobby, his hands were very rough, and they were covered with calluses, which were formed by holding weapons all year round, and they were also very thin, Anpingjun led the army outside all the year round, and most of the marches were hard.
The road was not long, less than a hundred paces, but they had walked for a long time.
"Uncle Wang, do you know Shun?" Tian Jian asked lightly. "The book says: Blind son, stubborn father, arrogant mother, like proud; Harmony with filial piety, Hao Hao Yi, not adulterous, this is Shun's sage! It is also for Yao, so Zen is located in Shun's principle. ”
Shun's title is Youyu's, the surname Yao and the surname are concubine, the name is Chonghua, the word is Jun, and it is called "Shun". Because of the name of the country "Yu", it is also called Yu Shun. He is the sixth grandson of Emperor Zhuan, and he has been a commoner since the fifth ancestor.
Emperor Shun was persecuted by his father, stepmother and stepmother's son Xiang since he was a child, and after many hardships, he was still kind to each other, honored his parents, and loved his half-brother Xiang, so he won the praise of the people. Shun was born in Yaoxu, worked hard in Lishan (Lishan), fished and hunted in Leize (now Heze, Shandong), fired pottery on the banks of the Yellow River, made daily necessities in Shouqiu (now Qufu, Shandong), and did business in Dunqiu (now Junxian County, Henan) and Xiaxia (now Yanzhou, Shandong). Because of his noble character, he has great prestige among the people.
He cultivated the fields in the mountains, and the locals no longer fought for the land boundary, and they were very humble to each other. People were willing to live close to him, and in two or three years they gathered into a village. At that time, the leader of the tribal alliance, Di Yao, was very old and wanted to choose an heir, and the four Yue unanimously recommended Shun, so Yao married his two daughters, Empress E and Nuying, to Shun, and let nine men serve on Shun's left and right to observe his virtue; He also let Shun be in charge of the five classics, manage hundreds of officials, and be responsible for welcoming etiquette to observe his ability. All are governed, and Shun is ordered to take administrative affairs.
