Chapter Forty-Eight: The Three Admonitions of Maeber (II)

It's incredible, Ziqi stared at Taizhu Wujaw's face tightly, and there was no joy or sorrow on Wujaw's face, and there was no trace of psychological change. Such a person is terrifying, and his joy and anger are invisible.

Wu Jaw's approach was very unexpected by the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, even Wei Ziqi was stuffed in the gourd, no matter what, it resolved the-for-tat confrontation between Di Xin and Mei Bojin. Di Xin asked Taibu again about the auspicious time of the burial, funeral, and burial, and Taibu played it one by one.

Emperor Xin approved Taibu's request, and ordered the whole city to raise filial piety from now on, mourn the princes of all countries to mourn the first king, and send the funeral to the royal mausoleum for burial half a month later.

There are funerals in the homes of the commoners, and they are all sinned by the living, not to mention the homes of the emperors.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the brothers discussed that no one could stand it for half a moon together, and the four of them took turns to accompany the spirit to welcome the guests.

Even so, Di Xin must be in front of the spirit every day, thanks to his body as strong as an ox, and his combat strength is full. Bigan and the others were very satisfied with Di Xin's approach, even if they made the stinky stone Mei Bojin, they were also impressed by Di Xin.

After the establishment of the day, the princes of all countries came to Chaoge one after another, and the princes of the border towns could not get out, so they also sent their sons and nephews to the royal city. The city was overcrowded for a while.

Xibohou Ji Chang didn't come, but only sent Ji Kao to Chaoge. Ziqi personally welcomed him into the royal city, and he still kept the piano by his side, carrying the piano box behind his back. saw the sub-period and shook hands to reminisce about the past, complaining that the sub-period did not say goodbye.

Ji Kao was still elegant, and Ziqi said helplessly: "On that day, your second brother refused to let us go back to Chaoge, and we were also helpless, so we made this decision, and I hope my brother will forgive me." ”

Ji Kao waved his hand, "In the sub-period, there is no need to worry about the past." After you left, I missed it very much, I didn't expect to see it so soon, and I had to go to the house for a few days. The sub-period hurriedly said: "The sub-period can't ask for it!" ”

He took Ji Kao to the spirit to mourn, Ji Kao bowed down with a national salute, and returned the salute with a courtesy, and Di Xin also nodded to Ji Kao, which was considered a return of the gift!

Ji Kao removed the case from behind his back and sat cross-legged in front of the spirit. He put the piano on his lap, stretched his fingers lightly, and played a song "Tai Death". This is a long-standing ancient ritual song, but it has been modified by Ji Kao to make it more smooth and mournful.

Di Xin and Zi Qi, who accompanied the spirit, and the minister who accompanied the spirit, all cried when they heard it.

Ji Kao's song ended, and he saluted Di Xin and Zi Qi, "The little minister Bo Yi Kao only used one song "Tai Mourning" to express his sorrow for the former king! Di Xin sat in front of the spirit and said, "It's rare for you to have a heart, this king thank you!" You must be tired from your long journey, let Hao Chenghou take you to rest! ”

He said to Ziqi again: "Fourth brother, you have been tired for a few days, take Ji to take the exam!" ”

The sub-period should be under the order, and take Ji Kao back to the Hou Mansion.

Ziqi sat down with Ji Kao to drink tea and rest, and sent someone to take Ji Huan to the mansion so that the brother and sister could meet. After a cup of tea, Ji Huan arrived, and she was excited to see Ji Kao.

Seeing Ji Huan's graceful appearance, Ji Kao smiled and said, "Little sister, your aunt specially asked me to come and see you, and I am relieved to see you like this!" ”

Ji Huan hurriedly asked, "Grandma has been in good health recently!" ”

Ji Kao didn't lie, and said honestly: "After you left, your aunt was very sad, and she was sick with a cold again, and now she is better!" ”

Zi was busy asking Wu Du to arrange wine and food to entertain Ji Kao, Ji Huan and Ji Kao are brother and sister, so naturally there is no need to avoid suspicion. Ji Huan said to Ji Kao: "Your sister-in-law is now entangled in official duties, and she can't spare her life to accompany her brother, please don't blame him!" ”

Ji Kao said magnanimously: "Why should the family be so polite, it's not like we haven't seen each other!" Speaking from the heart, I really want to see him, and I think of the time when we barbecued meat together on the moon and sang wine as a song, what a joy! ”

Ziqi recalled that night when he was drunk, and he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Ji Kao suddenly asked: "Ziqi, when you came to Xiqi, why didn't you see the smart little girl who followed you?" ”

Ziqi smiled: "Her name is Lai'er, and she is very naughty." Playing in the back house, does my brother want to see her? ”

Ji Kao hurriedly waved his hand, "I just asked casually, what did I do when I saw other little girls?" ”

Ji Huan covered her mouth and smiled, "I thought my brother fell in love with Miss Lai!" ”

Ji Kao's face was red, "It's not big, it's not small!" ”

Ziqi accompanied Ji Kao to drink, and then placed him in a bedroom to rest. He himself didn't sleep well for several days, and when he returned to the back house, he slept with his head covered. He slept until the next morning, when Xiannon changed his clothes and asked, "Can't you rest for two days?" You don't look at your face, what has become of you? ”

Ziqi shook his head helplessly, "As a son of man, how can you not be filial, and the officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the people of Chaoge are all watching!" After that, he left the house and went to the royal court, and accompanied the spirit day and night in front of the first emperor Yiling.

Until the expiration of the half-moon period, Emperor Xin led hundreds of officials and envoys from all sides to bury Emperor Yi in the emperor's mausoleum. On the day of the funeral, the whole city was white. Ziqi and Li Jiao led 3,000 forbidden troops to protect the spirits, and Di Xin was full of filial piety, accompanied by Wei Ziqi and Wei Zhongyan, and was escorted by the guards at the forefront. Behind the coffin, hundreds of officials were dressed in filial piety, and they followed the chariot in the same direction.

The black clouds in the sky were overwhelming, so low that they seemed to cling to the top of the mountain, and the wind swept the snow particles on the face like a sword.

Finally got to the mausoleum, and the guards opened the stone door.

Taizhu Wujaw led everyone to worship and worship, and ordered the servants to martyr the two people, slaughter them in front of the door of the room, and bury them on both sides of the stone door. The guards carried Di Yi's Nanmu coffin to the mausoleum, and the burial objects were all pearls, bronzes and money shells that Emperor Yi loved during his lifetime, and the money shells alone were carried into more than ten boxes.

Di Xin personally lit the lantern in front of the coffin, and the servant of the gods blew the horn.

Everyone withdrew from the mausoleum, and more than a dozen guards covered the cumbersome stone gate, and a generation of emperors turned into a mound of loess.

Back to the court song, Di Xin promulgated the king's order, and the royal family, the hundred officials in the court, and the people in the city all removed their filial piety clothes. Order the dynasty to rest for one day. The shop workshop also has a day off, and the next day the court will be discussed.

Above the royal court, hundreds of officials of the Manchu Dynasty gathered, and the envoys of all countries arrived.

Di Xin was in a radiant state and was accompanied by Tu Chang to the royal court, and waited for him to kneel and sit on the five-layer reed mat. Hundreds of officials and envoys bowed together, and the mountain called the king, congratulating Di Xin on succeeding to the throne and obeying the orders of heaven.

Di Xin waved the sleeves of his robe, and did not ask the attitude of the ministers at all, so Tu Chang issued a new order.

First of all, Princess Jiang of Lishou was the queen, and adopted Fei Zhong's suggestion, renamed the court hall as the Longde Palace, and the side hall of the envoys of the banquet group ministers was Xianqingtai. Waiver of payment for one year, amnesty to the world.

Except for the prisoners who committed the most heinous crimes, all of them were sent back to their hometowns to engage in farming.

All the officials in the court were rewarded, and Fei Zhong was named the eastern history of the Longde Palace, and assisted Di Xin in sorting out government affairs.

From now on, the prayer shrine will be renamed the Shojin Terrace. Taizhu Taibu and other clergy officials were moved to the director of Zhangshentai. Controlled by the Eastern History Fei Zhong, there is no need to participate in the royal court discussions.

Tu Chang held the bamboo slip in his hand, and after promulgating the king's order, before the words fell, Mei Bojin walked out of the class, and Shi Li played: "King, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" ”

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were smiling, and when they heard Mei Bojin's words, they immediately fell silent. Jizi frowned and glanced at Mei Bojin.

Mei Bojin turned a blind eye and continued: "The old minister thinks that the king is as good as a stream, exempt from tribute, pardon the world, rejuvenate agriculture, and be the king's virtuous government, which is really a blessing for the society.

However, it is unwise for the king to appoint slaves as ministers and give them great responsibilities. The position of Dongshi, although the official rank is slight, but the responsibility is important, I hope that the king will take back his destiny and choose another noble and virtuous son. ”

Di Xin glared at Mei Bojin angrily and did not speak for a long time.

Mei Bojin coughed lightly, "The old minister still has something to please!" ”

"And?" The ministers in the palace looked at Mei Bojin in unison, they were all happy days, which one is this?

Mei Bojin raised his head and said solemnly: "Since Xuanniao was born and merchant, the kings of all dynasties have been virtuous in worshiping God. How valuable is the office of a priest? How can you despise it? Taizhu Taibu has been standing in the palace to participate in political affairs for 600 years, and the king has ignored the law of his ancestors, so that the ministers who worship and serve the gods have no place to stand in the temple, and the gods will be angry.

At that time, the sky will be angry and resentful, and it will be too late to regret the disaster caused by the Shangtang Society! Please ask the king to take back his fate! Return to God's Faith! ”

Di Xin's face turned red, and he forcibly suppressed his anger, "This king has something unclear, please consult Mei Bo!" ”

Mei Bojin hurriedly replied: "The old minister doesn't dare to ask for advice, the king asks the old minister!" ”

Di Xin's eyes are like knives, "In the first dynasty, there were two wise men and gentlemen, and Ganpan were extremely intelligent. Assisted the former king Wuding and became the ancestor of Zhongxing. This king asks you, where did Fu Shuo and Ganpan come from? ”

Mei Bojin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, "Back to the king, Fu said that He Ganpan was born as a prisoner!" ”

Di Xin sneered, "The first king used a prisoner, you call it King Xian, I used a Dongshi, and you will not be forgiven." This king asks you again, if you want to separate government affairs from the priesthood, and the royal power and divine power should not be mixed up in the first place, what is wrong with this king?

Is it that this king wants to invite the Eastern Emperor Taiyi to the palace and sit on the throne of this king, so you say that this king worships God? ”

Mei Bojin's face turned red, and he was speechless for a while.

Di Xin looked down, "Witch Jaw is here?" ”

Taizhu Wujaw came out of the class and said: "The minister is here!" ”

Di Xin suppressed his anger, "This king asked you, and ordered you to move to Zhangshentai and specialize in worshipping gods, is this considered ungodly?" ”

Witch Jaw's eyes rolled slyly, and he said with a smile on his face: "The ministers are tired of serving the gods day and night. The king ordered his subordinates not to enter the palace, which was sympathetic to his subordinates. Where does it come from? It's too late for your majesty to be grateful! ”

The words were high-sounding, and Wei Ziqi was in disbelief, looking at the witch jaw like a chicken. The most uncomfortable thing was Mei Bojin, who felt his head buzzing.

Di Xin waved his hand at Witchjaw, who retreated into the class.

Di Xin sneered, "Mei Bo, I often hear people say that you are an upright man. You yourself have always thought of yourself as a courtier. According to this king, you are just a clever man who speaks tricks and flatters the public! What else do you have to say? ”

Mei Bojin didn't expect that his kindness was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs by others, and he was scolded by a junior to the point of blood. Although Di Xin is the king of a country, how can he say that he is also his own nephew, this face is embarrassing. He was originally a bloody person, and suddenly straightened up to face Di Xin.

He said angrily: "King, you said that it is good for the old minister to be clever and orderly, or to grandstand. The old minister asked himself, with a clear conscience! The witch-jawed is just a small human ear. The old minister will judge things by facts, and will never judge politics by people. Yin Shang was the home of the royal family and nobles, not the home of the untouchable slaves. Please take back your order and remove Fei Zhongdong from his position, so as not to chill the children of the nobles! ”

Di Xin stood up from the table abruptly, "You are persecuting this king, what if this king is not allowed?" ”

Mei Bojin beat his chest and fell to the ground with a thud, "If the king is not allowed, the old minister is willing to admonish him with death!" When the ministers in the palace saw that the monarch and the ministers were on the bar, they didn't dare to speak.

Zi Qi wanted to come forward to persuade him, but he didn't know where to start, if he was biased towards Di Xin, Mei Bo Jin would definitely not forgive; If he is biased towards Maeber, what is the prestige of Di Xin's first ascension to the throne?

Di Xin's face turned blue and shouted: "Where are the guards, pull him out, he wants to die in the palace!" When the guards outside the hall heard this, they rushed to the hall in a swarm, pulled Mei Bojin from the ground and dragged him out.

Mei Bojin raised his eyebrows and struggled hard, and his two sleeves were broken into two with a sneer. Mei Bojin rushed to Di Xin, pointed at Di Xin and scolded: "Faint King, Faint King! You stubborn unconscious! On the top of the main hall, you insulted my former ministers, what is the righteousness of the monarch and the minister? O first king, your eyes are not bright, and your heart is not clear! Why give the throne to this unrighteous man! ”

Jizi and Bigan hurriedly rushed to Mei Bojin and grabbed him hard, reaching out to cover his mouth. Mei Bojin was crazy, and shook off the two of them vigorously, "How can I, Mei Jin, ever suffered such humiliation?" ”

Pointing at Di Xin, he shouted, "King Faint, kill me if you have a kind!" I'd rather die than be humiliated for you! ”

Seeing him in front of the Manchu officials and envoys, Di Xin jumped and scolded hysterically. Angry, his facial features were distorted, and he shouted to His Royal Highness's guards: "It's not easy for him to die?" Praetorian guards, drag them out and kill Maeber immediately! ”

shouted, flicked the sleeves of his robe and walked into the back of the hall.

Everyone in the palace was dumbfounded, neither advancing nor retreating, and they didn't know what to do. The guards threw away Mei Bojin's pair of short sleeves and dragged Mei Bojin out of the door.

Jizi's face turned pale, "Ziqi, don't you chase the king back?" "The sub-stage is like waking up from a dream, and running away.

Chasing him out of the apse, Di Xin had already crossed the middle garden in a rage. Ziqi shouted, "Brother Wang, wait, wait for me!" ”

Di Xin looked back and saw that it was the child, "What, you also want to help that old horseman?" ”

Ziqi ran all the way, ran to him, panted and said, "Brother Wang, what can I do for him?" Have you forgotten? Forgot the dying words of my father? ”

Di Xin was stunned for a moment, slapped his thigh, turned around and ran back.

Ziqi followed closely behind him and ran to the door of the apse, and Di Xin slowed down and walked steadily to the palace. Before he could sit down, the guards outside the palace walked into the palace door, "Back to the king, Mei Bo has been killed, please check the king's punishment!" ”

Di Xin sat on the seat with his buttocks, his head snorted, and he walked back to the class with heavy steps, looked at Jizi, and shook his head helplessly.

Di Xin sat down and steadied himself, "As the saying goes, there is a difference between a monarch and a minister. He only knows that his ministers are not humiliated, can he be humiliated? What is the difference between deception and complicity? Today's things should be set an example. Seeing that Mei Bo had followed the previous king for many years, he ordered his eldest son to take the earldom, and paid 500 punbei and ten silk horses, and immediately sent them to the country of Mei Bo with the inner house. ”

"Let's go!"

Tu Chang shook off the dust, "Retreat!" ”
