The wide Linzi Qi palace is very empty for a lonely surviving person, the queen holds the cold coffin with one hand, and the other hand silently wipes away the tears shed, in front of the coffin of the king of Qi, the candle burns silently, and the long shadow of the kneeling person is sprinkled on the wall.

It's already the fifth night, tomorrow, Qi Wang Tian Fazhang will be funeral, in this last moment, the queen suddenly wanted to be alone with her husband for a while, so she drove out all the children, including Tian Jian, leaving only an old lady with shaky teeth.

"Is the name decided?" I don't know how long I was stunned by the oil lamp, and the queen asked Taishi.

Taishi bowed his head: "The Queen Mother, the first king's name is set as 'Xiang'." ”

"Xiang ...... King Qi Xiang. The queen silently chewed on the meaning of this nickname, she was the daughter of Jucheng Taishi, she could read and hyphenate since she was a child, and she could sing the "Book of Zhou" at the age of more than ten years, so she naturally knew what this word represented.

There is virtue in the land, and it is taken from righteousness; The armor has a labor and is urgently conscripted.

As the "lord of Zhongxing" who has recovered the country, Tian Fazhang, the king of Qi, seems to be worthy of this title, but the queen heard a strong irony from it: the territory of Qi is obviously recovered by Tiandan, Jimo, Linzi, Liaocheng, Di, almost every hard battle, Anping Jun came to the front line in person, followed the city vigorously, stood within the reach of the arrows and stones, and aided the drums......

But what about the first king? Just follow behind and receive them one by one, don't say anything about "armor has labor", in more than ten years, he has not even been to the battlefield once.

This seemingly beautiful nickname is not so much an overreputation for Tian Fazhang, but rather a grievance for An Pingjun by the historians, who secretly satirized Tian Fazhang!

The queen was a little dissatisfied, and she really wanted the historians to reconsider the nickname and change it to the "favor" that her husband wanted more during his lifetime, so she asked in a consultative tone: "Can't the nickname be changed?" ”

"I can't." The old historian's face was old-fashioned, his tone was resolute, and he held the slip tightly in his hand, but his eyes glanced at the steps behind him, as if the queen wanted to force it, he would crash to death on it.

For the name, the standards of various countries are different, there are wide and strict, but there is a common point, that is, the good and evil of the name is determined according to the appearance of the princes, especially in the Qi country.

Qilu is a more prosperous country of Confucianism, since the time of Confucius, Confucianism has consciously used the law as a means of praising and deprecating figures, saving the social atmosphere, and adjusting interpersonal relations. Although some Qi Confucians have become slaves of the king, they are very stubborn in terms of law, and the historians are also influenced by it. Maybe when the name was determined, Taishi was already ready to "die", after all, the historians of Qi had a reputation for writing straight and not afraid of death since Jiang Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period......

The queen, who was born in the family of historians, naturally understood this, sighed, did not bother herself anymore, waved her hand, and let the historian go down.

"It seems that a hundred years later, I can only accompany you in the name of 'Xianghou'."

The queen smiled bitterly, she felt the helplessness of her husband before his death, although the ruler seemed to have a monopoly on power and could say and do in the court, but what about the reality? But you are still constrained by many things, the ministers will covet your power, and the law and ancestral traditions will set up a rule and a box, so that the monarch cannot cross, once the line between the king and the minister is crossed, the king will be regarded as a passerby by by the courtiers and the people, and even regard you as an enemy, and the king of Qi Min back then was guilty of public anger because of this.

After all, even Mencius shouted openly: "The thief is a thief; Those who are righteous are called cruel. The thief is called a husband. I heard that a husband was punished, but I didn't hear of killing the king! ”

This is also one of the reasons why King Qi Xuan did not dare to use Mencius in the end, and even he couldn't say that he would become a "single husband" one day.

As for King Qi Xiang, in the eyes of the queen, he is a good husband who has always been to her, but he is not a perfect monarch, stronger than King Qi Min, but far inferior to King Qi Xuan and King Qi Wei.

He has a serious lack of self-confidence, which makes him prone to hesitation and inability to make decisions at the first time, as was the case when he was trapped in Jucheng, and the same is true for dealing with diplomatic relations today. This deep lack of self-confidence also led to his complicated relationship with Tian Dan.

The queen actually saw all this, but out of her doting preference for her husband, she never said it.

Now, there is no chance for him to know.

The queen put on the lamp oil again, stroked the brand-new coffin and said: "O king, I am afraid that you did not know it before you died, the reason why you are so jealous of Tian Dan and suppress Tian Dan is because you are jealous of him?" ”

He was jealous that Tian Dan could win the hearts of the people, jealous that Tian Dan turned the tide, and jealous that Tian Dan had done everything he couldn't do - in his heart, he actually wanted to be a hero admired by all the people.

But in the end, he is just in the whirlpool of politics, repeating the mistakes made by the previous generation, and sticking to the limitations of conspiracy and power, which makes people feel petty and lose the demeanor of a king.

Qi people are not stupid, there are many clear-eyed people, from the trivial matter of Dingzhi, the queen has noticed that the government and the opposition are dissatisfied with the fact that King Qi has not recalled Tiandan for a long time after he has stepped down and returned to China.

The people of Qi still love that general, and they can't forget Tian Dan's grace of saving the people from hanging upside down.

This made the queen a little shocked, fortunately, Tian Dan was loyal to the king and the country, otherwise, once he had a different heart, he would seek power and usurp the throne, and it would be okay to tear the soil and become the king. In the country of Qi, there are people who are willing to take refuge in him and work for him, and these people have emerged in an endless stream in the past ten years, and most of them have been rejected by Tian Dan on his own initiative.

With such a courtier, which monarch doesn't have a headache? No matter how open-minded the queen is, she will not dare to let Tian Dan return to the country now.

But in this way, Tian Dan's children have to be cautious when they are settled, and if they don't do it, it will cause public anger.

Tian Hu is simple, a fourteen or fifteen-year-old wooden boy, he did not inherit the wisdom of his father and mother, only a body can make a halberd, let him inherit Tian Dan's title, and then let the new king communicate with him more, many years later, maybe he is a fierce general who can be loyal to the Qi country.

But Tian Dan's ghostly daughter is a little troublesome, when Tian Dan is not there, she is the backbone of Anping Jun's Mansion, and she also has some connections in Jixia, not to mention that some time ago, there was also a scandal with Chang Anjun, the son of Zhao Guo......

After thinking about it, the queen decided to follow her husband's last wish and marry her to find an important minister in China who could be loyal to the royal family. There is one thing that King Qi Xiang grasps very accurately, that is, Tian Dan is affectionate and loves his family, for the sake of the future of this pair of children, even if he is dissatisfied with the Qi royal family, he will endure it silently.

The next day, after the funeral ceremony of King Qi Xiang, the queen took away Qi Wangjian and others, and asked Hou Sheng to summon the "princess" Tian Jia.

As a relative of the Tian family, Tian Jia is also wearing filial piety clothes, and it is a heavier "Qi decay", the pale yellow raw linen cloth is very rough, although it will scratch the girl's white and tender skin, it will also line her to be pitiful, she likes to wear no makeup on weekdays, and now she is lined with flawlessness. When the queen saw it, she couldn't help but admire, this little woman, who hides in the makeup of the sect daughters on weekdays, doesn't want to look at it alone today, but she is so bright and beautiful.

"What's even more rare is that she has been extremely smart since she was a child, and she is really worthy of being the daughter of An Pingjun."

The queen didn't say much, exchanged a few words, and asked her about her food and clothing in the palace, and then expressed her intentions.

"Jia'er, I have the law in Qi country, a woman does not marry seventeen, her family sits on it, you have been in the house for more than a year, and you are not far from seventeen, the old woman wants to be the master, and find a good family for you."

Tian Jia was a little stunned for a while, biting her lip with her teeth, she would never have thought that even if Qi Wang Tian Fazhang died, she would not let their family have a good time!

She immediately bowed down and said, "This matter, the little girl dare not agree!" ”

Tian Jia reacted very violently, which was expected by the queen, she had heard about the relationship between this girl and Chang'an Jun, and heard about their wooden kite affair, but so what? The position of the queen, the burden on her shoulders, determined that she had to be insensitive to the romantic love that made her meet and love the former king, and the queen had already anticipated Tian Jia's words.

The queen wrinkled her face: "This is the meaning of the first king before his death, it is a marriage given out of the king's will, this is not asking for your opinion, but the king's order!" ”

The king's command will be obeyed! Under the pretext of love? Using the order of a parent as an excuse? It's useless!

But the queen never expected that Tian Jia would move out of a reason that she couldn't object.

Tian Jia raised her head, tears in her eyes, after the death of King Qi, she cried a lot in front of the spirit, it seemed that she was more sad than King Qi's own daughters, she repeatedly bowed to the queen, knocked out a red mark on her forehead, and her voice was sincere and sincere.

"When the first king made me a princess, he said that he would give me a ring in the middle of the festival, Lan Hui Yangfang, Si for the auspiciousness of Qili, and the training of the Guangtian clan...... Tian's governance of the country, the most important thing is a filial piety! Health preservation is not enough to be a big deal, but death can be a big deal! Before the death of the first king, he respected me as his own daughter, as a princess, as a daughter, I should also mourn for the first king! ”

She raised her head again and said resolutely: "The little girl has sworn that she will keep filial piety for the first king, and she will not dare to say anything about marriage during the filial piety period!" ”
