"A good lord treats his ministers with faith, and his ministers serve his lords with loyalty. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "After hearing this, Zhou Bian shouted hello."

This Ning Yue's words are reasonable, Zhou Bian has actually liked Ning Yue in his heart, and he has long wanted to take him under his command, although he is worried about this person's fame and greed for wealth and wealth, but who can do things for the royal family without pursuit, Taishi is a person of the royal family, naturally following the wishes of his ancestors, Bai Gui is a businessman, but he is a prominent family in the history of Tuqing, and he is a new recruit in the royal army, which one is not for the salary and military merits? So I'm not afraid that you have asked for something, but I am afraid that you have not asked for it, otherwise I will really suspect that you are here for the throne. Thinking of this, Zhou Bian laughed and stretched out his hand to help him up.

Unexpectedly, at this time, after Gongzhi's death, there were some people among the former courtiers of Duke Zhou, and I heard someone shouting, "Since you claim that you are so loyal to the lord, and the son of the old lord Duke Zhou is still alive, why do you want to switch to the royal family?" ”

As soon as he said this, some people laughed, everyone could see that Gongzhi himself was in the hands of the royal family, and if he was loyal to Gongzhi, there would be no more days, but no one dared to say it, because the royal family obviously wanted to recapture Luoyang, so he controlled Gongzhi, and if he said it directly, the royal family would not look good. Obviously, the person who asked this question obviously still had some opinions about the royal family in his heart, and he just took this opportunity to vent.

Zhou Bian was not angry, turned his head to look at Gongzhi, and saw that this boy who was a little older than himself shook his lips, and finally smiled at himself, although he was a little reluctant, but as a child he was still a little embarrassed, Zhou Bian naturally would not do anything about it, so Chongzhi nodded slightly, as if to reassure him, I will take care of the rest of your life.

However, everyone's eyes on the field turned to Ning Yue again, and no one noticed the eye contact between the king and Gongzhi, and how Ning Yue answered became the focus of the audience. Fortunately, everyone didn't wait too long, and after a while, Ning Yue raised his upper body and replied without turning his head, "Although a certain is loyal to two generations of Zhou Gong, he is not a retainer of Zhou Gong. After that, he bowed down again, and there was no more explanation.

Everyone on the field was silent and no one made a sound, yes, Ning Yue just served Zhou Gong, but he didn't sign a deed of sale, and the retainers are generally slaves or servants raised by the family, etc., and they are loyal to the master from generation to generation, obviously Ning Yue is not.

This Ning Yue really answered decently, Zhou Bian added a little more to his liking in his heart, turned his head to see that no one came out to make trouble, so he stretched out his hand to help him up, "Ning Qing, this king has not been to worship the Taimiao today, you will follow this king and worship my first king together." ”

The meaning of these words is very obvious, saying that Bi Zhoubian turned around and went to the Taimiao, Ning Yue hurriedly patted his long skirt and followed, and honestly stayed behind the royal ministers such as Taishi Bai Gui, although Fan Yu was not convinced, but the king opened his mouth and naturally it was not good to care, and Ning Yue was just arguing with his father and young master, and he couldn't hold on to it. But seeing Ning Yue following him a few steps away, Fan Yu was proud, Chong Ning squeezed his eyes more and more, and followed behind the king in front. Ning Yue only didn't see it, and followed quietly behind.

These three halls are the Tai Temple, the Jong Temple and the Kao Palace. Taimiao is the place to worship the ancestors, the temple enshrines the tablet of King Wen, the palace is for the king of Wu, these three halls are after King Ping moved eastward, specially built for the ancestral tablet invited from Hojing. Before entering the temple, Zhou Bian quickly changed his armor and put on a grand royal dress under the service of his entourage. When Zhou Bian first came to Luoyang, he quietly came to worship once, and that time was very simple, but this time it was a grand abnormality, three bows and nine knocks, and all kinds of sacrifices were complete. And that door naturally did not lean on the door to fall asleep, but ran back and forth, and took out all his skills to serve the king, which made Zhou Bian a little impressed, a small door actually knew a lot of worship rituals, but thinking that he may have worked here all his life, he has seen Zhou Gong come to worship many times, and Zhou Bian is relieved.

After the three halls were worshiped one by one, Zhou Bian and the others were already so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, but fortunately, Bai Gui and others had already prepared, and the group climbed the tower at the south gate of the Ming Palace.

The top of the city tower has already been cleaned up, and a small number of them have been put on the table, and the cooks in the Ming Palace have already prepared the meal, and after Tianyi invited the Son of Heaven to sit on the upper seat, the courtiers on both sides of Cheng Zhou and Luoyang also sat down one by one after making a concession. As expected, in the end, it was Taishi and Bai Gui who sat on the chiefs on both sides of the following, under Taishi was the young master, and under Bai Gui was Tu Ping, and the common identity was different, sitting next to Zhou Bian. Only listen to Bai Gui's order, the original maids of the Ming Palace rushed out, and sent the jars and various dishes to the individual in turn a few times, the maids were wearing pale yellow palace skirts, far better than the burlap plain long skirts worn by the maids in the palace of Cheng Zhou, the young maids walked through it, the long-sleeved long skirts were brought up with the wind, and bursts of fragrance came to the nose, just like the butterflies dancing in the flowers, it really deserved to be the Zhou Gongming Palace rich in Luoyang, this is the scene that the ancient banquet should be, and Zhou Bian was stunned for a while.

It wasn't until a soft snort behind him that Zhou Bian came back to his senses, and saw that it was Qiao'er sitting in the back of the left, who was originally scheduled to serve the king was the palace maid in the Ming Palace, but after the accident on Dingdingmen Street, the Taishi and others were not at ease, and the female dependents were originally in Luoyang after taking a detour to enter the Ming Palace first, which would be called by the Taishi Qiao'er to wait first, and Zhou Bian's right back sat Fan Yu whose right hand had been placed on the hilt of the sword.

Seeing that it was Qiao'er, I don't know what purpose she hummed to remind, but Zhou Bian was not embarrassed, and smiled generously at Qiao'er, Qiao'er lowered her head a little embarrassed, and reached out to scoop a glass of sake from Zhou Bian's small wine jar.

At this time, there were also maids in the ministers below who poured good wine for them, and these Ming Palace maids were also well-trained, and each minister sat behind one, looking very well-behaved. I saw that at this time, Tian Yi raised the wine bottle and shouted to the king, and the ministers raised the wine bottle one after another, congratulating the king together, and the scene was very lively for a while.

After three rounds of wine, every time the wine to the king was stopped by the Taishi and others, and later the ministers found out that it was wrong, so no one invited the king again, Zhou Bian was a child, and he couldn't drink too much, so he tasted the dishes of the Ming Palace. At this time, the aristocracy's dishes are mainly meat-based, and only the royal family is too poor, so they have been eating coarse grains, and the dishes in the Luoyang Ming Palace can be regarded as a model of the aristocracy in this era, all of which are large pieces of meat, or stewed or boiled, and the flavor in the soup is also relatively strong.

And the role of each small maid is to hold a knife and fork in hand, cut the meat for the master, put it in the bowl, in ancient times it was very polite, and all the nobles who cultivated in important places would not take their own knives and forks, and used luxury, which is what we usually call chopsticks.

Although everyone was very hungry, this luncheon was still very fast, because everyone knew that the afternoon was the time when the king ascended to the main hall of the Ming Palace, and this meeting had not yet paid attention to major events that had to be carried out in the morning, so it was officially announced that the world and the royal family would return to Luoyang, and it would be in the afternoon.

After eating, a group of people escorted Zhou Bian into the Ming Palace behind the gate, at this time, the Ming Palace had already been replaced by the royal soldiers led by Zhou Zhan Zhang Hu and others, who had entered the palace in advance, lined up neatly on both sides of the royal road, and welcomed their king into this real palace, the king of the world.

And the royal road is paved with long bluestone strips, neat and tidy, leading to the high places in the distance, Zhou Bian walked up with his head held high.

The layout of the Ming Palace is also somewhat similar to the Forbidden City of later generations, the palace of the Xia and Shang periods has not been examined, the legend of the Luoyang Ming Palace built by the Duke of Zhou, laid the layout of the palace of the later generations and even the imperial palaces of the past dynasties, since the collapse of the rites, the princes of all countries have imitated the Ming Palace to establish their own palaces, the Qin of the unified country, naturally no exception, and then later, the Chang'an City Weiyang Palace of the Western Han Dynasty referred to the Ming Palace, the Eastern Han Dynasty was in Luoyang, needless to say, passed down from generation to generation, until the Ming and Qing Dynasties, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the palace is the ancestor of the Chinese palace.

Zhou Bian, who has been to the Forbidden City in later generations, is naturally not too unfamiliar with the layout of this Ming Palace. Behind the gate of the Ming Palace is a small square, there is a small wooden gate in front of it, it is more of an archway than a small gate, there is no even a city tower, and the depth is only two meters. The small door is inlaid with a whole piece of wood that looks very ancient, and it is engraved with the four big characters of "Ordered by the Heavens", seeing the king staring at these four big characters, the Taishi stepped forward and explained in a low voice, "This word is written by King Wu, erected by Zhou Gongdan, and has been restored by generations, and has been standing here for five hundred years." ”

I didn't think that this was a monument, and it was the handwriting of the first king, and King Wu was a generation of heroes, which was admired by people after two thousand years. So Zhou Bian pulled the royal clothes on his body, and Fan Yu behind him knew the master's intentions, and hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and Zhou Bian bowed down to these four big characters. The rest of the ministers who followed him bowed down together and shouted long live.

After worshipping the four big characters on the small door, a group of people entered through the door, and inside was a large square, paved with stones, the middle was paved vertically, and the sides were paved horizontally, clearly separated by a royal road. And in front of the royal road is a tall hall standing majestically, this is the Ming Hall, which is equivalent to the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City in Beijing today, which is built by Zhou Gongdan, and the place where King Cheng accepted the princes of the world. After the royal family moved to Chengzhou, in order to distinguish it, the Luoyang Palace was not called the palace, but was named after the Ming Hall and renamed the Ming Palace.

In the past, this ancient Zhou Dynasty was like a myth, but today it appeared in front of him, Zhou Bian held down the excitement in his heart, and walked over with his head held high.

Different from later generations, there are no glazed tiles and red paint at this time, so the tiles on the hall are still green tiles, the pillars below the hall are painted with dark red paint, the pillars are supplemented with green bricks, and the high steps under the hall are also paved with green bricks, so that the whole hall presents an ancient dark blue color, although it is not as brilliant as the Taihe Hall in later generations, but it is more simple and solemn.

This royal road is not long, but this high step is difficult for Zhou Bian, you must know that Zhou Bian is tired for a day today.

gritted his teeth and climbed hundreds of steps, and then looked at the tall but close Ming Hall in front of him, Zhou Bian let out a deep sigh, Luoyang Palace, my royal family is back.

And in real history, the return of the king to Luoyang was the last king of the Zhou Dynasty, King Hao, because at that time the royal family overwhelmed the Duke of Luoyang Zhou. In any case, Zhou Bian was still extremely complacent in his heart, and his efforts still got results, so he raised his feet and stepped into the Ming Hall first.

This hall is really much larger than the Chongde Hall of the Chengzhou Palace, and the design is also extremely synergistic, and the light can still penetrate between the top two layers of the palace, although the hall is wide, it does not appear dim and the air is turbid. Directly above the main hall is the throne, which has no chairs, so it is actually a slightly higher platform with a cushion for the king to kneel on.

Don't let anyone lead the way, Zhou Bian walked up by himself, but as soon as he arrived on the platform, he was stopped by the Taishi, Zhou Bian turned his head to look down, and saw that the courtiers of the royal family and the Zhou Duke of Luoyang and the nobles below had already stood in line, and under the leadership of the Taishi, they bowed down and shouted, "Welcome to my king!" ”

The ministers bent down, and Zhou Bian's vision suddenly broadened, only to see the small gate that he had just passed through and the main gate of the Ming Palace under his eyelids, and the layers of houses in the south city of Luoyang were also vivid, and a prosperous view was in full view, no wonder the main hall was built so high, it turned out to be to look down on the whole city.

The city is in sight, as if it is all in the hand, the high seat is on the top, and I can't help but sigh in my heart and rush up:

Luoyang, a hundred years later, my royal family is finally back!
