When the office carriage and horses traveled, the dragon flag fluttered, and the carriage of the nobles was gorgeous and elegant, with sparkling wheels, driving on the road leading to Shangqiu City.

"It's the princess's car!" Everyone on the side of the road hurriedly avoided it, and then talked about the matter of the princess Nanzi, in the Song Kingdom, as Nanzi grew up and her appearance became more and more beautiful, she became an eternal topic in the market, that is, who is blessed to marry her as a wife?

The princess Nanzi is seventeen years old this year, and she has long passed the age of marriage. Two years ago, Wei Guo and Song Guo set an in-law, she was supposed to marry Wei Hou in the spring, but Wei Guo was involved in the war between Jin and Qi, and suffered from the plague in Kaichun, so he used this as an excuse to delay the trip.

In the Song Kingdom, everyone knows that Nanzi can't live in the deep palace for a long time, she is active by nature, and she often travels by car when she is married, or goes to Pengcheng, or goes to Surabaya, and there are often countless Song Guoqing's children who follow closely behind, hoping to kiss Fangze, but without exception are politely refused. And this time, Nanzi's car brought a young man with pink carving, so that the taxis along the way were not jealous.

This lucky young man's name is Gongsun Jiao, the widow of the deceased son of the deceased son of Qin, and he is the most favored nephew of Song Gong, and theoretically Nanzi's little cousin. He was only ten years old, and in the Song Kingdom, except for him, who was favored by the office, few people could get the treatment of traveling in the same car with Nanzi.

Song Gong gave birth to a bunch of daughters when he was young, but he had no sons, and a hunting accident ten years ago made him a heavenly eunuch, although he could walk the road, but he had no heirs. Although he was physically strong, he grew old with age. It is inevitable that you will have a headache for the heir, so follow the advice of the right teacher. Naturally, it is necessary to implement the inheritance rules that have been popular in the Song Dynasty since the Yin Shang period: "The father dies and the son succeeds, and the brother dies and the younger brother dies." He had to choose one of his four younger brothers as his heir.

However, Zuo Shi Xiangchao and Sima Xiangwei had different ideas......

"The monarch is prosperous in the spring and autumn, and the four sons are almost the same age as you, after a hundred years, the four sons will also be old, rather than making the throne unstable at that time, it is better to choose one from the next generation of nephews to cultivate from an early age, and inherit the ambition of the king......"

I don't know for what purpose, Song Gong did not agree to the request of both parties, but mentioned the treatment of his nephew Gongsun Jiao. As a result, Gongsun Jiao, who had no one paying attention to, suddenly became a strong contender for the crown prince's position.

The ruling of the Song State, the right master Le Daxin and the four princes are all pro-Qi factions, and they can't wait for Nanzi to marry the Marquis of Wei immediately, so that the Song State will also join the allies of the Qi State and jointly fight against the Jin State.

So Nanzi had to stand on the opposite side of them, she wanted to have a good relationship with this little cousin, always give him gifts during the New Year's holidays, and play with him from time to time, if he could really become the prince. can be used as a basis for their future speech.

However, in her opinion, Gongsun Jie did not have the wisdom and precociousness that he praised to his brothers, and he was completely a pampered and arrogant bear child.

No, Shangqiu City is in sight. The bear child was excitedly pointing to a green bug on the road ahead and shouting, "Run over!" ”

It was a somewhat stupid praying mantis, and it didn't know how to give way in the face of a menacing convoy.

Nanzi had an idea and asked people to go down and drive the mantis away. Then Gongsun Jiao, who was going to catch insects, pulled him back to the seat of the car and said to him, "Brother." Can't grind, I'll tell you a story to listen to. How? ”

Her voice was sweet and fairy-like, and even a ten-year-old boy couldn't bear it, so Gongsun Jie quickly sat next to her obediently, waiting to hear the story.

"There was a monarch in the country of Qi named Qi Zhuang Gong, who once went out hunting, and saw a small insect on the road, stretching out his forelimbs to block the advancing wheels. Qi Zhuang Gong asked the emperor: What kind of insect is this? The emperor said: This is what people often call the praying mantis, it only knows how to move forward but does not know how to retreat, and never measures its own strength. After hearing this, Qi Zhuang said: If it is a human being, it must be a warrior of the world. After saying that, let the car take a detour to avoid the praying mantis. When the warriors of Qi heard about this, they all came to join the Duke of Qi Zhuang...... So Zhuang Gong got a lot of talents, so he was able to counterattack the Jin Kingdom and climb the Taihang Mountain and the Yangjiban. ”

She smiled and patted the young man's pink cheeks: "You say, should you learn from Qizhuang Public School?" ”

Nanzi has put a lot of effort into helping Gongsun Jie brush up the reputation of a precocious prodigy, and this time he can also publicize it after he goes back: Gongsun Jie let go of the praying mantis, he is a benevolent and warrior son of the office, much better than the rich and insatiable fourth son!

Song Gong may really have high hopes for Gongsun Jie and is very strict with his education, and the eight-year-old child has already learned the classic history of many countries in the Central Plains, so Gongsun Jie blinked his eyes and said unconvinced: "I have also heard of other deeds of Qi Zhuang Gong, the master said that he had an affair with the wife of the minister Cui Zhu, and was finally captured by Cui Shu at home and killed on the spot. ”

Facing Gongsun Jie's raising of the bar, Nanzi disagreed, and touched his head: "Sister let you learn from the Duke of Qi Zhuang, and she didn't let you learn his private ......"

What's more, in Nanzi's eyes, the lord and his ministers have fornication, what kind of big deal is this? Things have yin and yang, people are divided into men and women, the two are happy, no one can stop the firewood, and as the lord, you have to hide your own **? So what does it mean to be a king? If you want to blame Qi Zhuanggong, you can only blame Qi Zhuang Gong for not being ruthless enough, so he simply struck first, killed Cui Zhu, and took his wife and daughter, this is what the male master should do!

Looking at Song Guo, Nanzi was disappointed to find that there was no such person around her, her father was not enterprising, Liuqing was a rat, and looking at the world, it seemed that there were only a few people such as Zhao Wuxian.

The young man who claimed to be able to restore the civil service of Jin has developed well in the past six months, his territory has been comparable to that of the Yue Jiale clan, and the actual scope of control is even larger, and the power is inclined to the Lu country, and he can also fight with the people of Qi in terms of economy.

It's just that what worries Nanzi is that maybe it didn't hurt enough to defend the country, maybe the people of Qi didn't lose badly enough, and his marriage contract couldn't be dissolved for a long time. Now that I heard that Lu Guo was making peace with the Qi people again, Zhao Wuxian had no reason to use troops against the guards, how should this be good?

In addition, the sensitive Nanzi also saw some problems from it, and the cloud reconciliation. Once Qilu is at peace, Lu will also reconcile with Wei. In that case, how should Zhao Wuxian, who occupies the territory of Qi and Wei, deal with himself?

Not to mention the hidden worries in Nanzi's heart. After this small episode, the journey on the road became slightly faster, and in the afternoon, Songcheng Shangqiu was in sight.

However, as soon as he entered the city, Nanzi noticed that the atmosphere was slightly different from the past, and the vigilance was much stricter than before.

……

"Princess. If you are not here in the past few days, something big has happened in Songcheng! That cronie was the concubine who was entrusted by Nanzi to deliver the news to Zhao Wuxian in Yuncheng last time, and she looked anxious and told what had happened.

"The country has sent Gongzi to the dynasty again? It's embarrassing for him, it wasn't enough to be insulted by the Zhao family in the Song Palace last time, what a cheeky person! ”

She broke away from Gongsun Jie, and said to her cronies: "Is Gongzi Chao urging Xu to marry again?" ”

Nanzi has been instigating Song Gong to cancel the marriage contract, exaggerating the failure of the Qi State, and at the same time talking about the future of the Wei Kingdom in darkness. prophesied that Wei Guo would die soon, but although her father was not as good as the male lord, he was not confused, and just said lightly: "The country of Wei Guocha." Maybe it's ...... longer than the Song Kingdom."

But Song Gong did not immediately agree to marry, and in Nanzi's opinion, his father was more like a businessman in Shangqiu City. is treating her as a strange commodity, waiting for the price to be sold!

Sure enough. The gifts promised by the patriots are more and more generous every time, and this time. I even took out the city in one go!

"You mean, Wei Guo took the first mountain and the nest as a dowry? Waiting to be settled after marriage? ”

After hearing this news, Nanzi's complexion changed greatly, the first mountain and the nest were the territories that belonged to the Wei Kingdom, but they were two enclaves, located in the territory of the Song Kingdom. The relationship between Song and Wei has always been good, so although Song Guo coveted these two cities, he had no intention of seizing them.

Yi Nanzi understands Song Gong's temperament, he will, he will definitely agree to marry immediately!

"However, the king has already let the envoy of the guard live in the pavilion, and he will marry the princess around the autumn harvest......"

Nanzi's heart was cold, once Song Gong promised, then everything was really irreparable, she smiled bitterly: "In this way, I really have to marry." ”

She was even thinking that if she turned around and escaped from Shangqiu now, would she not have time to go incognito in Surabaya?

But as soon as he turned around, Nanzi knew that this plan was too late, and the person guarding the city gate was his uncle Gongzidi, who was rich in Song Guo, and was now looking at Nanzi and smiling at the city gate.

"The princess already knows? It's really gratifying, after the autumn harvest, I can send my daughter to Puyang and Xintai. ”

"There's Uncle Law." Nanzi pretended to be shy in front of Gongzidi, but scolded in his heart.

Gongzidi was the younger brother of the Duke of Song, and was not only a strong contender for the crown prince of the Song Kingdom, but also one of the main promoters of the marriage of Song Wei. But Nanzi knew that the reason was just that his uncle wanted to pursue him and was rejected - the Song State was a state of the remnants of Yin Shang, so it still retained the traditional intra-clan marriage, and in theory, nieces could marry their uncles......

"One by one, they either sell their daughters because of profits, or they hate because their lust can't succeed, and they wish I could marry the old and filthy Wei Hou."

She was really disappointed in Song Guo's office.

Facing the temple people who came to urge him to return to the palace, Nanzi clenched his teeth, pulled Gongsun to sit on the car, and thought about countermeasures in his heart.

Since there is no hope of escaping, she can only fight to the death, she Nanzi will never be a stupid woman who is burned by fire and does not know how to escape from this fire house!

At this point, who is still worthy of trust and can be used?

In China, there are also Gongsun Jiao, Xiang brothers, and Sicheng Le's ......

In foreign words, the poem written by Zhao Wuxian for her is still in my ears: "There are beautiful women in the East, peerless and independent." One look at the city, and then look at the country. Rather than know the city and the country. It's hard to get ...... beauty."

Nanzi showed a rare smile.

"Now it seems that I am really worth a fortune, but at least I have to exchange Luoyang, Linzi, and Chaoge for the capitals of the world, just two thousand rooms? It's too much to underestimate Nanzi! (To be continued.) )
