Marriage was an important political means for princes with foreign surnames to participate in court politics in the Zhou Dynasty.

As mentioned earlier, at the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, the princes were divided, and the surname Ji accounted for more than half, completely dominant. Even a super hero with a foreign surname like Jiang Ziya may not have the high status of Zhou Gong surnamed Ji. With the passage of time, the armed forces of the imperial court gradually weakened, and this practice of completely crowding out foreign power gradually became uncontrollable. According to the Zhou rites, the wife must marry a woman with a foreign surname. Therefore, the flexible mode of marrying foreign surnames such as Jiang, Ji, Yao, and Fu with the more powerful Jiang, Ji, Yao, and Fu, so that the old man and the uncle of the country can enter the DPRK and participate in politics, has begun to become popular.

It was in this way that Shenhou married his eldest daughter to King Zhou You, and became a relative of the royal family. Now, he wants to do the same, marry his youngest daughter Ji Jiang to Dutu, and envelop this emerging prince.

Di Tu is the cousin of King Zhou You, Ji Yijiu's cousin, with noble blood, and half of the royal family. Coupled with the tall and mighty, heroic and compelling, it is simply the first rich and handsome brand on the land of China in the early Spring and Autumn Period. Therefore, even if the political purpose is put aside, purely from the consideration of marriage, the marriage of the Marquis is also a sure-fire business. If it weren't for this civil strife, the people who went to Uncle Zheng's house to propose relatives would be able to break the threshold, where would it be the turn to get the old fox Shenhou.

Thousands of miles away, he was sneezing in the cold wind, and how did he know that someone was worried about his life's work. Born from a fat, short and poor land, although his self-confidence has increased a lot after crossing, he can't imagine what it's like to be pursued by others. If he knew he was so popular, he would have dreamed of laughing.

After passing through Huashan, the Triple Alliance finally came to the Weihe Plain of Yima Pingchuan, and soon arrived at the former capital of Zheng State. Facing the ruins in front of them, Zheng Guo's deceased people all wept bitterly. The digging is also full of mixed feelings, and the people and things in the past are like movies, and they are replayed in the brain. In addition to remembering the various experiences of fleeing in embarrassment, the person who had been almost forgotten and who had haunted him in his dreams once again stood in his heart.

He summoned the chief of the hundred rooms: "Xianzhu, the widow entrusts you with an important matter." ”

Xian Zhu immediately bowed down: "Please, how dare you be?" Where the responsibilities of the ministers are, you can directly order them. ”

"Back then, we were in a hurry to move eastward, and we were suddenly ambushed by dogs between the opera city and Zhengcheng. My guard, Nie Rang, got separated with a girl, and has not been heard from since. Hope you can find it. Digging Tu sighed, carefully recalling the characteristics of the two, "Nie Rang is handsome, similar in age and figure to me, he is a warrior cultivated by Neizai, and I am friends in trouble. That girl is the sister of the famous Bao Xi, well-behaved and sweet, and extremely cute. ”

Xianzhu, who is good at observing words and feelings, saw that the master was so emotional, and quickly guessed that he would not leave ten: "Your Excellency, take the opportunity to return to Wangji this time, I will definitely do my best to investigate." ”

"Don't make a noise." "You can arrange it privately, especially not to let Lord Neizai know." ”

Xian Zhu was a little tired when he heard it, but it was inconvenient to ask in detail, so he answered the promise and went down.

The dug was still immersed in a faint sadness. Asking himself, he felt that he couldn't stand Zhong Xi, after all, after moving east, because he was busy with political struggles, he rarely missed her. Even in a dream, the figure of little Lori is getting more and more blurred. However, as Zheng Guojun, the current situation and status cannot allow him to blatantly spend his energy on women.

On the one hand, it is the ideal that dominates the world when changing history, and on the other hand, it is the beauty who fell in love at first sight when the love first opened, both of which are unattainable in Jia Hanqing's real life. This made the digging extremely tangled, and the balance in his heart swayed back and forth.

Ideals are the hope of escaping the cycle of the game. The thought of the fear of being trapped in the game forever shuddered in his heart, and the scales immediately tipped in favor of the former. But what about jumping out of the game? When he returned to reality, he lost the skin of this tall and handsome man, and became fat and short, and no beauty would look at him at all. Dutu's heart was sad, and the balance tipped in favor of the latter.

If it is the kind of old man who is already sexually incompetent, it is estimated that he will choose the ideal properly. But he is a young man with strong blood, and it is inevitable that sperm worms will go to the brain, and his heart is still more biased towards beauty. Just when he was thinking wildly and had just decided to love the country and love the beauty more, the edicts of the Son of Heaven on both sides actually arrived at the same time.

It was good that the envoys did not meet, but as soon as they met, they immediately became like Mars hitting the earth. Regardless of the hard work of the horse, they immediately used their strength to curse each other as rebellious ministers and thieves. Fortunately, Wei Hou arrived in time to separate the two sides. The three of them had to be received separately in two groups.

Jin Zheng Erjun happened to be assigned to entertain Ji Yijiu's envoy. When the other party saw it, he was in the middle of it and tried his best to curry favor with these two monarchs. The Marquis of Jin was naturally very happy when he was given the land east of the river. When Uncle Zheng heard his reward, he smiled dumbly. He just fantasized about a lot of dreams of being with Zhong Ji for a hundred years, and someone else sent another wife who he had never heard of, which is too coincidental, right?

In fact, as an ancient, this is not a big deal, marrying a wife can also take a concubine, the two are not contradictory. Ke Tutu is a modern person who has crossed over, although he is not sanctimonious and rigid in monogamous loyalty, but after being brainwashed by the modern concept of love, there is still a great psychological obstacle to betraying the beauty who fell in love at first sight when he first fell in love. Taking a step back, even if you want both, you should be the eldest wife.

Di Tu thought to himself, Jiang Jian had never seen it this season, maybe he was still an ugly monster, and the risk of marrying was too great, so he waved his hand again and again, claiming that he didn't dare to climb high.

The messenger knew his thoughts, and thought it was a polite excuse, so he persuaded him again. not only repeatedly stated the beauty of Ji Yijiu and Shenhou, but also praised Ji Jiang as beautiful and gentle as a fairy, and almost sang the poems that praised the beauties in the "Book of Songs". Naturally, he would rather die than obey, saying that he would not enter anything with oil and salt, and the atmosphere suddenly became embarrassing.

Nazai, who has been on the sidelines, also thinks that the master is just polite, and after repeating it a few times, he begins to notice that something is wrong. In his opinion, Di Tu has the same point of view as himself, and advocates supporting Ji Yijiu's son, so the other party should ask for it. He had a premonition that the young monarch seemed to be about to make trouble again, so he said: "Marriage matters, you should be cautious. The monarch needs to consult with the clan, and he will answer tomorrow. ”

The messenger saw that it was boring to persist any longer, so he went down the stairs and took his leave to rest.

"Shenhou is also a good idea." The Marquis of Jin was also quite puzzled, "The widow has seen Ji Jiang in Haojing, and he is indeed knowledgeable and gentle, and you are also in your prime, which coincides with the year of marriage." Isn't it a match made in heaven? ”

Digging out his eyes, he asked rhetorically: "Is the Marquis of Jin concluding that Ji Yijiu will win?" ”

The Marquis of Jin was stunned for a moment, and understood what he meant: "That's right, we haven't discussed with the alliance leader yet, I don't know the situation on Ji Yuchen's side, and I can't assert who to help return to the throne." He smiled, "It seems that I was impatient, and I received this gift too quickly, so I might as well be young and old." ”

"Where, where." "There are no positions and factions in the land, and you don't take it for nothing." My wife has a surname, and if she accepts it, she will have nothing to do with the surname Jiang for the rest of her life. ”

"Well, then I won't mess around. Leave. ”

The Marquis of Jin left with a little admiration, but Neizai was still full of doubts: "Your Majesty, you no longer firmly support Ji Yijiu?" ”

"No, no."

"Then we should stand aside with Ji Yijiu as soon as possible, seize the opportunity, and then work with the Marquis of Jin to persuade the alliance leader to support? If Wei Hou supports Ji Yuchen or preemptively supports Ji Yijiu, our Zheng Guoke will completely lose power in the imperial court! ”

"Marriage is a big event, how can it be child's play?"

"It's just that you can't play with children's play, so the marriage match should put Zheng Guo's interests first!"

I couldn't say the real reason for digging out, and I was anxious, so I simply choked: "I don't want an arranged marriage!" ”
