Chapter 163: Asking for Marriage
I have to say that the efforts of these factions of Confucianism are still effective, and in the Wei State, they said that they moved the King of Wei and asked the King of Wei to cede the throne to Wei Xianghuishi!
Today's Wei state is weak, and the king of Wei is over seventy years old, and time is running out. www.biquge.info He was indeed worried about the fate of Wei after his death, so he really agreed to such an act. However, Hui Shi never agreed, and refused King Wei's request three times in a row. The King of Wei, who was rejected by Hui Shi, also fell ill and died soon after!
The fate of the King of Wei was extremely embarrassing to Dehuishi, an old minister of Wei, and as soon as he dealt with the affairs of the King of Wei, he immediately resigned to the newly enthroned King of Wei, Wei Hei, and left Wei.
And in the Jixia Academy, because some Confucian factions were driven out, the Simeng school led by Mencius became very popular, and almost unified the entire Confucianism!
After the unification, Confucianism was not at all comparable to a single school of thought such as Taoism or Legalism, and Taoism and Legalism had to unite to fight against it.
And with the rise of Confucianism, there is naturally a scientific school led by Dai Yan.
Although the fruits of the scientific revolution have not yet been revealed, he has analyzed the political system of the three kings in ancient times in detail, extracted the idea of democracy from it, and gave infinite inspiration to the various schools of the Jixia Academy.
More importantly, this kind of "democratic" thinking is extremely popular with the nobles of Qi State! After all, such an idea is a sharp weapon to bind the king, and if it can be truly implemented, then the interests of the nobles must be better protected!
As a result, Dai Yan became popular in Qi for a while, and he became one of the most popular scholars among the nobles of Qi State.
The nobles of Qi invited Dai Yan to the banquet and discussed in detail how such an idea could become a practical system.
In such an atmosphere, Dai Yan's status in Jixia and Qi State soared. If others didn't say it, everyone would hardly realize that he came to Qi Country as a proton!
On this day, Dai Yan was sitting in the study palace, trying to think about various problems, when he suddenly received the news that a guest was visiting, and the guards who informed him also had strange expressions.
Dai Yan felt a little strange, and was about to ask who the guest was, when a pleasant voice came from outside the door: "I've already arrived, isn't Ziyan going to come out to see me?" ”
This voice was obviously a woman's voice, and Dai Yan knew who this woman was when he thought about it carefully: she should be Tian Si, the princess of Qi who had met on the Yingqiu hunting ground.
Dai Yan went out to meet him, as expected! The delicate face of the comer, dressed in a neat red palace robe, looked extremely graceful, and it was Tian Si, the princess of Qi who had rescued Dai Yan from Tian Ying's hands.
For this princess of Qi Kingdom, Dai Yan did not dare to slack off at all, he invited her to the throne and beckoned the guards to entertain her with good tea. Then he asked: "Thank you to the princess for rescuing me last time in the Yingqiu hunting ground, I don't know why the princess is here today?" ”
Tian Si looked at the guards serving around him, and then said to Dai Yan: "I came to find Gongzi this time because I have important matters to discuss, and I don't want others to disturb me. ”
So Dai Yan immediately ordered all the guards to withdraw and make tea himself to entertain Tian Si. After tasting a cup of tea, Dai Yan bluntly asked Tian Si: "The princess is here, what is the matter, can you say it clearly?" ”
Tian Si didn't answer Dai Yan's question, and pulled her hair with her hand, making her stunning face more visible, and then gracefully moved to Dai Yan's side and asked, "What does Childe think of Tian Si?" ”
In response to the beauty's question, Dai Yan replied honestly: "The princess is naturally beautiful, and it is rare to see it in the world." ”
Tian Si was very satisfied when he heard this, so he walked to Dai Yan's side and asked Dai Yan directly: "Since Gongzi admires Tian Si so much, then Tian Si will marry Gongzi, how about it?" ”
Dai Yan was drinking tea at this time, and when he heard Tian Si's question, he couldn't react in time, and almost squirted out the tea!
He immediately got up and replied to Tian Si, "Why did the princess come here to entertain and make such a joke?" ”
Dai Yan is very self-aware, he and Tian Si have only met once, if you want to say that Tian Si fell in love with him and wanted to marry him, he would never believe it. Moreover, the princess of a country personally came out to ask for her own marriage, even if Dai Yan crossed over from the later generations, she felt a little shocking.
Dai Yan's reaction was expected by Tian Si, so she continued: "I am not entertaining my son, but I sincerely want to marry my son." Tian Si has admired heroes since he was a child, and among the younger generation today, Gongzi is famous all over the world, and he can be a good match for Tian Siliang. ”
Dai Yan was a little incomprehensible, so he asked rhetorically: "Since the princess admires heroes, why don't you marry Zhao Houyong?" Although Zhao Houyong is less than fifteen years old, he broke the Seven Nations Alliance and retired from the Three Kingdoms, so he should be the hero of the world. He's so much more famous than I am! ”
Tian Si was also extremely surprised when he heard Dai Yan's words: "How did Gongzi know that his father had also prepared to marry me to Zhao Hou and marry Zhao Guo?" If he marries Zhao Houyong, Tian Si is naturally willing. However, when this suggestion was made, Zhao Guoqunchen was extremely happy, but it seemed that he was greatly hindered by Zhao Hou. No matter how much benefit our country promised, Zhao Hou never agreed to this in-law. ”
So you're coming to me? Dai Yan thought silently in his heart. However, this Tian Si can be so honest, and it really makes Dai Yan feel good.
So Dai Yan also opened the skylight and said brightly: "I feel honored to be favored by the princess!" However, I really don't understand, with such a beautiful princess, she is favored by the king of Qi in the country of Qi, and it is easy to marry a hero as a wishful man! I have only met the princess once, and the princess wants to marry me, which is really incomprehensible! Can the princess answer your questions? ”
Tian Si looked at Dai Yan for a while, and then finally said: "Don't hide it from the son, Tian Si's idea of marrying the son is indeed Tian Si's heart." I have admired heroes since I was a child, but Childe should know that if today, with the rise of the scholars, most of the nobles of various countries are unenterprising. The heroes of the noble clan, who have risen suddenly, are mostly arrogant, and I am afraid that they only regard me as a step of promotion; And the mediocre aristocracy, with Tian Si's vision, can't look down on them. If you want to find a wishful husband, it is not as easy as Childe thinks!
If Gongzi is willing to marry me, then I can persuade my father to make Gongzi the feudal king of Qi! With such an identity, Childe can show his strength in my Qi country. With the strength of my Qi country and the wisdom of the son, the son will definitely be able to make a great career in the world! Wouldn't this be much stronger than Gongzi shrinking into a small country like the Song Kingdom? ”
For Tian Si's thoughts, Dai Yan can be regarded as a real understanding. As the saying goes, the right family, especially in this era when the aristocracy still exists, the marriage of the aristocracy has extremely high requirements.
The marriage of the princess of one country shall either be married to the king of another country as a marriage between the two countries; Or they will marry them to important ministers in the country, as a means for a country to entrap important ministers!
When Wu Qi was in Wei State, in order to envelop Wu Qi, Wei Wuhou wanted to marry the princess of Wei to her as a temptation. Uncle Acne, an important minister of Wei, used a little trick to make Wu Qi realize the strength of the princess of Wei, and easily drove Wu Qi out of Wei.
Now Tian Si personally came to Dai Yan to ask for marriage, one of which was of course because he took a fancy to Dai Yan's noble identity and was the son of the Song Kingdom; On the other hand, of course, there are also reasons why Dai Yan's prestige has risen dramatically, his reputation has spread far and wide, and his status in the Qi State has risen rapidly.
In Tian Si's view, today's Dai Yan is talented and prestigious, and it is completely impossible to give full play to his talents if he stays in a small country like the Song State, and only by staying in a big country like the Qi State can he have room to display his talents! She herself admires Dai Yan for a person with a good background and high talent, if she can marry her, the two are equivalent to a political alliance, with her status in the Qi country and Dai Yan's talent, the two will definitely make a great difference in the Qi country!
Dai Yan quickly thought through Tian Si's thoughts. And if Tian Si's idea can really be implemented, it must be the will of the Tian family. It seems that the Tian family is very optimistic about him, and they do not hesitate to use the princess of a country to envelop him.
For Dai Yan, Tian Si's conditions have many benefits; And the only disadvantage is that he will also become the son-in-law of Qi like Chun Yuji, which is too bad to say.
In the customs of Qidi, because people believe that the eldest daughter is not married, she should stay at home and preside over the sacrifice. As the royal family of the Qi Kingdom, it is inevitable that the Tian clan will be influenced by such customs.
However, the price they offered is indeed quite high, marrying a princess can be the king of Qi State, if such a condition is placed on the sons of other small countries, it is indeed a very generous condition.
You must know that the status of the feudal monarch of a large country is far from being comparable to that of a feudal monarch of a small country! Take Tian Ying, the Jingguo Jun of the Qi State, for example, the King of Qi directly gave him the original Xue Kingdom! Where the feudal lords of large countries directly rule, they can almost be directly compared with the princes of small countries!
And more importantly, there is no problem for the feudal monarch of a big country to participate in national politics! With the territory under his own control and the power of a country's major politics, it is very easy for such a character to dominate the world!
Like Yin Zhaoyang, the current Ling of Chu State, and Zhao Cheng, the Minister of Zhao State, almost all of their positions are obtained by the superposition of these two! Later, Tian Ying's son Meng Weijun Tianwen, Mi Yue's younger brother Marquis Wei Ran, was able to dominate the world, in fact, there is also such a reason.
For Dai Yan, if he really marries Tian Si and becomes the feudal monarch of Qi State, he will embark on the path of these powerful ministers, and he will have the possibility of dominating the world in the future!
