Ziqi followed Tu Chang to the harem, and there were many houses in the palace, which made Ziqi a little dizzy. When I came to Emperor Yi's bedroom, King Emperor Yi was reclining on the dragon bed and closing his eyes to recuperate.

Tu Chang walked up to King Yi with his waist bent, "Great King, His Royal Highness Ziqi has arrived!" With that, the cat retreated. Di Yi opened his eyes, his face showed joy, and he beckoned to Ziqi and said, "Ziqi, come close!" ”

Ziqi stepped forward, and Shi Junchen said: "Ziqi asks the king how well!" ”

Di Yi raised his hand and grabbed Ziji's hands, "Come closer, let my father take a good look at you!" Ziqi had no choice but to take another step forward, and Di Yi stared at Ziji's face with good eyes, seeing that Ziqi was a little flustered. Di Yi looked at it for a while, "Is your mother buried in peace?" ”

"Buried, buried in Luofengpo!" The child replied.

Di Yi nodded, "Before she left, did she leave anything behind?" ”

"She entrusted me with the maid by her side, and told me to take care of myself." The sub-period returns.

Di Yi asked again: "She is still so kind, did she mention her father?" ”

Seeing his expectation, Ziqi couldn't bear to tell the truth, and lied: "The mother concubine said that the king is old, and asked the courtiers to do their filial piety in front of their knees!" ”

King Yi had tears in his eyes, "For so many years, your mother and son have suffered!" You don't blame your father, do you? Ziqi said flatly: "I hunt in the mountains, have my grandfather to take care of me, and a group of friends, and live a very happy life!" ”

"Oh? Then tell your father how you hunt? The corners of Diyi's mouth curled and looked at him with a smile.

Ziqi told him two interesting things about hunting with Dan'er's grandchildren, and King Yi listened to it with relish, and couldn't help nodding and smiling, "No wonder you look so strong!" ”

His thin palm kept grabbing the child period and didn't let go, "This Northern Expedition, you did a good job, my father is very pleased, your brother Wang didn't praise you to me when he came back, you tell me in detail!" ”

Zi Ji told Di Yi in detail about the two battles of the Northern Expedition. Di Yi was very happy, and couldn't help but say yes with relief, his eyes were full of eagerness and love. Ziqi felt that this look was very familiar, exactly the same as the eyes of his grandfather in his previous life.

The two of you looked at me and spoke, it was very speculative, and more than half an hour passed unconsciously.

It wasn't until the sub-period finished speaking that Di Yi pondered for a while and sighed, "It's a pity! Ziqi didn't know what he was sorry for, and he didn't want to ask.

Di Yi moved his legs and wanted to get out of bed, but Ziqi hurriedly took the black shoes and put them on for him.

Di Yi held him on the shoulder and said: "You are brave and resourceful, and you are witty, and you will rely on you to revitalize the community in the future, and you will be able to assist your brother Wang well, and he will not treat you badly." Ziqi didn't know which brother he was talking about, so he didn't want to ask too much.

Tu Chang saw that Di Yi was going out outside the door, so he hurriedly came in to help. Di Yi bowed his hand, "You can lead the way in front, and let Ziqi help me!" After speaking, he took the jade dragon jue from the bedside and handed it to Ziqi and said: "This is what my father left to your mother and concubine back then, since it is her relic, I will leave it to you!" Ziqi hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it, put it in his arms, and then helped Emperor Yi to stand up.

Tu Chang led the way in front, and Zi Qi helped Di Yi to the front hall.

Everyone waited in the main hall for so long, and finally saw Ziqi helping Di Yi into the main hall. Seeing Emperor Yi's intimate appearance towards Ziqi, Weizi Qi glared at Ziqi fiercely. Ziqi helped Di Yi to the jade steps, and then walked to the front of the hall and stood next to Zi Shou with his hands down.

Di Yi sat behind the desk in an old state, but his spirit was excellent.

Zi Qi clenched his fist with everyone's right hand, pressed on his left chest and bowed down to perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers, and called the king of the mountain!

Di Yi smiled, "All the ministers are exempt, today's court discussion, what state affairs are there to discuss?"

Bigan stepped forward and said, "King, yesterday the envoy of Chonghou Hu arrived at Chaoge and reported that Chonghou was assassinated half a month ago. Although there is no fear for his life, Chonghou is also injured a lot, and the murderer is on the run and is being arrested. ”

As soon as Bigan finished speaking, the hall immediately burst into a loud voice. Chonghou Hu was stabbed, it's too sensational, right? In any case, he is also a prince of a town, and Chonghou Hu himself is also a brave man who can fight habitually.

Di Yi frowned and asked, "If you can assassinate Chonghou, you won't be a commoner, but you can investigate which Fang Guo is behind it?" ”

Bigan replied, "Not quite yet. ”

Di Yi said: "Then send an envoy to express condolences to Chonghou on behalf of the royal court, he is loyal to the royal court, and it is hard enough." ”

I have to admit that the geographical location of Chongcheng (now Huxian County, Shaanxi) was very important to Yin Shang. It is bordered by Qishan in the west and the ghost side in the north, which is an important gateway for Yin Shang. It can be said that Chonghou Hu was a door god in the northwest of the Yin Shang Dynasty.

Bigan nodded yes and retreated to the class.

Jizi came out of class again and said: "King, the twenty-third day after the moon is the birthday of Queen Zhou Shaoshu." Please ask the king to send an envoy to Xiqi. ”

Zi Ji heard that Taishi Jizi was in charge of the clan, which was the predecessor of the Zongren Mansion in later generations, and it can be said that Jizi was the eldest brother of all royal families.

When Weizi heard that Jizi proposed to send an envoy to Xiqi, he couldn't help but feel a little proud, in the past, he was an envoy to Xiqi every year, and he was an envoy on behalf of the royal court. As the eldest son of Emperor Yi, Wei Ziqi seems to have regarded himself as the legitimate heir to the throne, and he is only missing a word from Emperor Yi.

King Yi knelt behind the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Ziqi has just returned to the court, and I haven't seen this aunt yet, so I will send Ziqi as an envoy, and I will send an envoy to Xiqi in half a month!" ”

Miko answered and returned to the class.

Di Yi's words were like a basin of cold water, pouring a cold water on Wei Ziqi, and glared at Ziqi fiercely.

Seeing that the ministers were not on duty, Di Yi said: "This Northern Expedition lasted less than a month. not only relieved the siege of Jizhou, but also exterminated the ghost Fang Moxi. This great victory can be said to be unprecedented and unprecedented, and it can be called a miraculous feat of ancient times.

The officers and men of the whole army share the same hatred for the enemy, sacrifice their lives and forget death, and their loyalty and courage are commendable.

Now, my son has returned to the court, and the soldiers of the whole army deserve to be rewarded. In this way, the soldiers are all rewarded with Gu Shihu (Yinhu), and the generals above the commander are rewarded with a horse of silk and satin, and the evil comes and the glue is relieved of the military position, and the original official position is advanced to a higher level. The prince made a miraculous plan and made great achievements, which can be described as the pillar of the country. Just seal the Guardian Supervisor of Wangcheng in the sub-period and take charge of all the forbidden armies! This time, the secretary will not have any objections! ”

Wei Ziqi was shocked in his heart, the Praetorian Guard! That's too sensational, isn't it? This can be said to be in charge of all the royal city military horses, if the king can't come to the dynasty in the future, won't the royal city become his bag? Even if he has no ambitions, no matter which side he falls, he can become the capital in the struggle for the throne.

Wei Ziqi peeked at Bigan, and then at Taizhu.

Bigan hurriedly took a step forward, "King, the minister thinks it's inappropriate!" Di Yi glanced at Bigan and was very unhappy in his heart. But his face didn't show it at all, and he asked, "Brother Wang continued, what's wrong?" ”

Bigan continued: "Although the child is both wise and brave, he must be young. Moreover, the day of the sub-period to return to the dynasty is still shallow, and I don't know much about all parts of the royal city, and the Janissary is related to the safety of the royal court, and the stakes are very high, please take back the king's life! ”

Bigan opened his head, and Jizi also echoed in his voice: "What Bigan said is very true, please take back the king's life!" ”

Wei Ziqi peeked and saw that Di Yi's eyebrows were frowning, and he didn't speak. Hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, the two uncles are very reasonable, the fourth brother is too young, and he still needs a lot of experience. ”

Di Yi suddenly turned his gaze to Wei Ziqi, his eyes stared at him without blinking, Wei Ziqi was furious at the sight, lowered his head and took a step back, and returned to the class.

Di Yi understood in his heart that there was only one reason why these people were high-sounding, and that was because his mother was from Dongyi. It seems that this newly found son is very unwelcome. At the moment, he is still sitting on the throne, and he is showing his edge, if there is a day when he leaves and returns to the west, will he still be able to gain a foothold in the royal court? Di Yi pondered for a long time, and his determination became even stronger.

Seeing that Emperor Yi was sitting on it and was hesitant, Taizhu hurriedly stood up and said: "Great King, all the lords are reasonable, the royal city guards are no better than the battlefield conquest, and the prestige of the sub-period is still weak, and it is difficult to convince the public. The position of the Janissary Commander has always been selected in the competition among the children of the royal family, why not choose the day of the royal court to compete according to the previous example, if the child period can win, wouldn't it be better? ”

Di Yi asked Zi Ji, who was standing below, "Zi Qi Wang'er, are you willing?" ”

Zi Qi was depressed below, and kept scolding in his heart, "NND, why can't you get along with Lao Tzu?" Didn't I offend you old immortals? Seeing that Emperor Yi asked him, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Father, my son is willing to compete in front of the palace!" ”

Di Yi saw Ziqi standing with his head held high, there was no fear on his face, and he liked it even more in his heart. He said: "Then wait until you come back from your envoy Xiqi, and my father will make you a marquis first, and give you Hao Cheng and be a Hao Cheng Hou." You are still young, so you don't need to be in a hurry to release it, Hao Cheng will keep it for you. Just live in the royal city, and have time to spend more time with this king. Then reward a mansion in the inner city, and give a piece of silk, brocade, and satin. Di Yi paused and said with a smile: "The child period has been dusty all the way, and the hard work is high, let's go back to the house to rest first, and set up a banquet in three days, so that the soldiers of this war will celebrate!" This matter is decided, and there is no need to discuss it anymore, so let's disperse! ”

The ministers of the royal family looked at each other, sighed, and thanked each other and withdrew, and Zishou and Ziqi stood motionless. Di Yi stood up, slowly walked down the jade steps, came to the two of them and asked with a smile: "Why didn't Zi Ji leave, do you still have anything to say?" ”

Ziqi said embarrassedly: "Father, I'm fine, but I can't find a home yet!" ”

Di Yi's smile lines deepened, "Oh, the mansion is on the left side of Shouwang's mansion, and you will let your third brother take you there later." ”

Zishou looked at Di Yi and asked, "Father, the son period has the greatest credit this time, why are it difficult for Uncle Wang and Brother Wang to be the son period?" Do you have to let him compete? The father should not have promised them. ”

Di Yi sighed, looked at Zishou for a while and asked: "Zishou, in this Northern Expedition, everyone has a reward, but you are not rewarded, and you don't have a grudge against your father in your heart as the commander?" ”

Zishou hurriedly said: "Father, the son's expedition this time is completely for his father's worries and to contribute to the society, how dare the son-in-law have a resentful heart." ”

Di Yi nodded, "Zi Shou, you think of your father like this, and the king hates it in his heart. It's not that my father doesn't want to reward you, but he hasn't thought about it yet. You have valued brotherhood since you were a child, and you are too emotional in your dealings with others. ”

Di Yi shook his head and continued: "The father of the crown prince has been unable to make a decision for a long time, and he can't choose between you and Ziqi, so he just doesn't worry about you. A king can't attach too much importance to friendship, you don't understand these yet. The reason why they are embarrassed is because they are too selfish! ”

Di Yi said to Zi Qi again: "Your mother is a native of Dongyi, and you are destined to have no chance with the throne, but there are tigers and wolves in the royal court, and I am afraid that they will kill you on the day of my big trip." Therefore, the father must arrange for you thoroughly, and after the envoy Xiqi returns, he must fight for the Janissary Division. When you have soldiers in your hands, they will be jealous of you and dare not do anything to you. In the future, if the royal court really can't accommodate you, you will go to Haocheng to be a prince of a town, and never return to the court. ”

Zi looked forward to the twilight old man in his eyes, and he couldn't tell how moved he was, that kind of gaze, that kind of hard work was the same as the grandfather in his previous life, and he couldn't wait to arrange his life for many years later.

He gave Di Yi a deep salute, "My father has a lot of love for his son, and my son is grateful!" ”

Di Yi patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Go ahead, go back early to rest and rest, and have time to come to the palace to see my father!" ”

Zishou and Ziqi hurriedly bowed and retired, and when they walked out of the palace gate, Ziqi couldn't help but secretly wipe the corners of their eyes.

Zi Shou hurriedly asked, "Zi Period, what's wrong with you!" ”

"Haha, nothing? Eyes blow into the dust. ”

[Tsing Yi says in this chapter]

Titles among relatives of Shang Dynasty people:

Kinship in the Shang Dynasty was mainly divided into three categories: husband and wife, clan relatives, and foreign marriages. The Shang Dynasty practiced monogamy and polygamy in parallel. Out of the concept of "the ancestors of the broad heirs" and "the temple of the ancestors, and the descendants of the next generation", there are descendants and concubines.

The fathers are all called fathers, there is no uncle, uncle, the number of the front crown, the eldest father, the second father.....

The wife calls her husband's father her uncle, and her husband's mother her aunt, see "Erya? Release of Relatives. The spouse of a paternal brother is called a "polyma"

Tsing Yi said that these are just a simple explanation, and if you are interested, take a look. As for the fact that it is not quoted like this in this book, if it is written like this, it will have to be messed up, and the book will not be read.
