Chapter Forty-Six: The Two Factions Fight
"Zhou Zhao gives marriage!" The momentum of the envoy is like a proclamation, "Shenhou has a female Ji Jiang, who has passed the age of Xuan, gentle and elegant, beautiful and moving, and still needs to be in the boudoir." And Zheng Bo has already passed the age of the weak crown, the young man is heroic, and the king is meritorious, but his father is filial piety, and he has no time to talk about marriage. Therefore, this week's call has a purpose, and a special case is set to avoid the worry of Zheng Bo's unfilial piety, so as to give heaven a combination. ”
The word "giving" pierced people like the tip of a needle, and there was a lot of discussion in the court.
The most ironic thing is naturally the excavation, which was designed by himself in the "Holy Week Call" system, but now it has become the capital of others to dictate to it. He held the popular Weihou in one hand, but now he used Zhou Zhao's power to force him to jump into the pit repeatedly.
The chief of the hundred rooms was the first to stand up and object: "The Wangwei envoy told Zhou Zhao that the marriage is a matter for both parties, and Zheng Guo's position has been stated many times, please don't interfere too much." ”
Taibu has now completely turned against the water, and he also jumped out to help: "The etiquette law was created by the Duke of Zhou, and it is the foundation of my dynasty, and the system of father's filial piety cannot be violated!" Besides, Zheng Guo was enshrined in the Son of Heaven, so it is not appropriate for Zhou to summon him to give marriage, right? ”
The envoy didn't even look at them, and stared at Dutu coldly: "Has Uncle Zheng forgotten the oath of the alliance in the first place?" ”
"That's not it." Dig Tu and strive to be neither humble nor arrogant.
"Then how dare you disobey Zhou Zhao's will?"
"This ......"
"Don't forget, Zhou Zhao took special care of Zheng Guo for the sake of being the king of Qin in the past. Otherwise, Song, Cao, Xu, Cai, Chen and other neighboring countries would have caused you trouble long ago. There was something in the guard's words.
"You misunderstood, the widow and Zhou Zhao are in a blood alliance, so they will naturally abide by the oath. But how can the major matter of marriage be decided with one or two words of mouth? Please go back to the post house first, let me discuss with the monarch and ministers, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer. ”
"Please Uncle Zheng don't delay, please give a reply within five days. Otherwise~" The guard envoy deliberately dragged a long note and swept around arrogantly, "Otherwise, Hugh blames Zhou Zhao for being ruthless." With that, he arched his hand, turned and left.
It is a great humiliation for an envoy to have such an attitude towards the princes. Zheng Guo's court exploded instantly.
The chief of the hundred rooms once again took the lead: "What is this envoy, dare to speak to the king like this!" In the opinion of the minister, he was directly arrested and cooked. Wei Hou is so far away, what can he do to us? Let's not agree to this marriage, and we'll be angry with him! ”
Taibu then said: "Your Majesty, you must not grow the ambition of others! Zheng Guo is a close branch of the royal family, and his status is more expensive than that of Wei Guo. Although he was frustrated in the Hojing Rebellion, his strength was no longer what it used to be, and he should not tolerate such interference in the marriage of the king. ”
In addition, Zuo Sima Jingsheng also stood up. Although he used to be Da Sima's deputy, he has always been grateful to the monarch since he was promoted by Dutu. In addition, in all previous battles, Dutu bypassed the direct command of Da Sima, so Jing Sheng has always admired him. He said: "The minister also agrees that the defense of the country is too much of a deception, and the king should not agree to this marriage." If they dare to offend Zheng Guo because of this, the ministers are willing to lead the army to fight to the death! ”
"You know what! Da Sima hasn't spoken yet, is it your turn to talk about the army? Neizai's loud shout stopped the spread of the "anti-marriage faction", "Although the Marquis of Wei is rude, he can control the princes of the world according to the covenant, and there is nothing wrong with issuing an order. Moreover, he has the right to entangle Song, Cao, Xu, Cai, Chen and other countries to crusade against us in the name of Zhou Zhao. Confronting all the neighbors would be a disaster for Jeongkook, and we should not refuse this marriage. ”
"Lord Neizai is reasonable, and the minister also supports this marriage." Except for the time when Da Sima was choked by the victory, he almost had to stand on the side of Neizai, "Although Wei Hou is far away in Wangji, the Holy Sixth Division he leads is the old department of Cheng Zhou, and Wei Guo's own army is eyeing the north bank of the Yellow River not far from us." Although the military strength of Song, Cao, Xu, Cai, Chen and other countries is weak, if they unite with the Wei Division, no one can stop them! ”
The ministers began to talk again. Many people, especially the aristocratic ministers, have firmly stood on the "marriage praise faction" led by Nazai.
With a blue face, he said coldly to Nezai, "Have you reflected on it in the past few days?" I just let you out and let out a lot of nonsense! ”
"The minister thinks there is nothing wrong with this marriage!"
"Less, the widow still doesn't know what you're thinking?" Dig Tu said angrily, "Aren't you just afraid that I will marry Zhong Xi? ”
He straightened up, and simply made the matter clear in front of everyone: "The widow told you that I just want to marry Zhong Ji!" It's the Zhong Ji you've heard of in all kinds of rumors! If you are still a widow's courtier, help me find a way to deal with the country, instead of helping outsiders interfere in the widow's marriage! ”
As soon as these words came out, the hall was in an uproar. The hundred chiefs jumped even more fiercely, shouting that no one had the right to interfere in the marriage of the king. His nephew, Sochu, and other merchant-born officials followed suit and quarreled with the nobles who supported Neizai. Taishi and Zuo Sima, who were previously "anti-marriage", were sandwiched in the middle, so they were not embarrassed.
Of course, the most embarrassing of them is naturally Zuo Sima Nierang. He was silent the whole time, like a wooden man.
"The dragon is dead, and it is hidden. The hair became a turtle, and the child concubine was pregnant. The beauty is beautiful, and the sinner is dedicated to it. Hehe Zong Zhou, praise and extinguish! ”
Neizai, an old nobleman, the more he faced the coercion of the excavation, the more he showed his hard bones, and he actually read this vicious nursery rhyme, and asked in a fierce voice: "The king insists on marrying Baoxi's sister, does he want to repeat the mistakes of King You!" ”
Du Tu was completely enraged, and responded loudly: "The widow is to marry!" What can you do? ”
"As long as the minister lives for one day, he will never let the demon girl enter the Zheng Guozong Temple!"
"So is the minister!" Taizong stood up to mend the knife and swore to defend the purity of the temple he was in charge of.
Da Sima, Taishi and other thorns all stepped forward to support them, and for a while, Situ and other gentle nobles couldn't ride the wall, so they had to secretly echo it.
"Then you will die!" Dig Tu didn't show weakness, "Come on, drag Neizai out to cook!" ”
Everyone was shocked and hurried to persuade each other. Da Sima took the lead and said: "Neizai is dedicated to the country, and it is really not the work of the Ming monarch to do this. To kill him is to strike a blow against all loyal subjects. ”
"Widows don't want such loyal ministers!"
Xianzhu jumped out again, taking revenge on Nezai for drawing his sword against him at the beginning: "Such a person is not a loyal minister at all. If he turns his elbow outward, he is a traitor, and everyone will be punished! ”
Da Sima's eyes widened angrily: "Are you going to put Nei Zai to death?" ”
"You feel distressed, then you will die for him!" Xianzhu now has a villainous expression of triumph. Since the last court dispute, he thinks that he has the support of the king, and he can't wait to vent all his grievances, and he doesn't feel that this is the rhythm of death at all.
"I would like to die on behalf of Lord Neizai!" Taizong actually took this seriously, and bowed down in front of Dutu. "The minister is also willing!" Taishi also came to this one, and for a while, many people who dared to die came out to follow suit.
Digging Tu was a little frightened by the fierce wind of collective death, and was thinking about how to ease it. Who knows, Xian Zhu, who continued to die, added fuel and vinegar and said: "Your Majesty, these people despise you and deliberately go against you, and they all deserve to be killed!" ”
These words are so cruel that they are simply killed. Only then did he realize that the mere marriage dispute had unwittingly turned into a dispute between the nobility and the merchants, but it was too late. Zheng Guo finally "succeeded" in falling into the trap of Wei Hou.
Da Sima jumped up when he heard the sound, and immediately drew his sword and faced each other: "It's all you villains who bewitch the king and frame Zhongliang, and today I will eliminate harm for the people here!" The other nobles also rebuked angrily, and surrounded several merchants-turned-ministers such as Xianzhu, wanting to vent all their dissatisfaction with Dutu.
"Presumptuous! What are you going to do? "Dig to stop it, but it's too late.
