Chapter 174: The Two Kings Don't See Each Other
The women are really endless, whether ancient or modern, they are the same, Wu Wei was still very interested at the beginning, and he interjected from time to time on the side, which made the two daughters laugh again and again. Unexpectedly, after following for a long time, what I saw in my eyes and heard in my ears were all incense powder, jewelry, clothes, etc., and gradually became interested, and secretly yawned.
Seeing that Li Ruolin and Xiao Lianxing were high-headed, and the mother-in-law was also radiant, her eyes were full of brilliance, Wu Wei was also inconvenient, and secretly complained in her heart, it seems that it is difficult to end for a while, and her family originally wanted to take advantage of the early morning to visit the famous places in Kaifeng, but now it seems that it is hopeless.
Li Chong is indispensable, in front of the junior subordinates, he has always maintained the indifferent demeanor of a scholar, he dismounted and walked, from time to time with a young man who looked like a scholar next to him.
This person is about 20 years old, with a delicate face, a square scarf and a mattress, and a talented appearance. Listening to his words, he was introducing the famous places of Kaifeng to Li Chong. When he doesn't speak, he looks elegant and elegant, even a little submissive, but when he speaks, he seems to have changed as if he is a different person, talking eloquently and with a high spirit.
It turned out that all the people in Ansai had been to Kaifeng, and there was no guide to do so, and it happened that Chen Qiao Yicheng was really stammering with Li Chong after Yang Sichang's visit, and seeing that he was a civil official, he specially found a local scholar to accompany him.
This person's surname is Li Xiuzhu, he is very young, similar to Zhao Wenzhuo, his family lives outside the north gate of Kaifeng, and he is used to making a living near the left side of the wharf. Yi Cheng saw that his family was poor and he was a scholar, so he often took care of him and introduced him to some business.
Kaifeng is located in the north-south thoroughfare. In the past, the gentry traveled a lot, and it was the proper meaning of the title to visit the scenic spots in Kaifeng with joy, and in modern terms, the tourism market was huge. Li Xiuzhu is a native of Kaifeng, the folk customs and geography are proficient, and he knows all the famous places and the stories well, and as a talent, he reads poetry and books, and quotes scriptures when he speaks.
Besides. He also has the biggest advantage of being able to speak the authentic Jingshi official dialect (based on Anhui Fengyang dialect. Similar to today's Tianjin dialect), it is much easier to understand than the local Zhongzhou Tuyin, which makes Li Chongdun, who has been traveling for many years, feel cordial.
You must know that this tour of the mountains and rivers is the elegant work of the scribes, and what is particular is the mood. If the mouth is full of local accents. At every turn, it is "medium" and "vigorous" and the like, which inevitably spoil the scenery.
The most rare thing is. Such a highly educated and high-level guide escort, but the value is not high, and the miscellaneous items are all included. However, 2 money is only silver, which is a drop in the bucket for Ansai tyrants, considering that this is already a high-end route in the tourism segment, it is really good and cheap!
Wu Wei as a modern person, although there is Baidu available, but in modern China hundreds of years of war and famine frequent, the details of historical annihilation do not know how much, and where is Baidu can be solved, the show in front of him grew up in Si, and is knowledgeable, words will give, the historical evolution of this Kaifeng City, how many markets, how many scenic spots, is the shop foot shop, local specialties, folk palm stories are told one by one, the end is fascinating.
Wu Wei was originally closely following Li Ruolin's side, but listening to Li Xiuzhu's words, he gradually became obsessed, and unconsciously came over, and interjected a few words from time to time. Wu Wei, as a modern person, needless to say, has a lot of insight and knowledge, and has been mixed in both sides of the system, barely can be regarded as a person who is proficient, and the world is insightful, and Li Xiuzhu is impressed by a few words, and his heart is also amazed, the two of them are very admired by each other, and they have become familiar with each other after a while.
Li Chong saw Li Xiuzhu's expression and talked eloquently, and he couldn't help but feel the heart of the school examination, and knocked on the side, and the other party also answered the question fluently, and the craftsmanship and poetry were quite impressive, and he couldn't help but increase his good impression of him.
The three of them were talking about it, when suddenly there was a commotion in front of them, and when they looked up, they saw a large group of chariots marching from the north gate, and there were dozens of tall and sturdy horsemen guarding the arch at the end of the road, all of them with red hairpins, and the swords they wore rubbed against the armor with a sonorous sound. There are more than 100 people on foot on both sides of the front and rear of the car, among them, there are banners, flags, drums, shields, and so on. On both sides, there were even sturdy servants whipping the way, and the thick leather whips made the street crackle.
I also saw many officials of Kaifeng Mansion evacuating the crowd at the front of the queue and maintaining order, and they were all busy sweating profusely. Pedestrians on the road hurriedly avoided the road, calling for their fathers, stumbling and stumbling, and in a mess, sometimes mixed with the cries and screams of childish women.
This is the main street of Kaifeng, there are a lot of pedestrians and cars on the road, and the fast hands and feet have long avoided in the storefronts on both sides or under the eaves, and there are more people who can't avoid the rush to Wu Wei's side, Rao is the Ansai camp guards are tall and strong, well-trained, and in the impact of the crowd are also in a hurry, left and right, and finally can stand still, Li Ruolin and Li Chong Wu Wei and others are guarded in the middle.
Wu Wei saw that the car battle was very pompous, looked at Li Xiuzhu, only to hear him "Huh", and said to himself: "Strange." ”
Li Chong is guessing which clan this is, since he came in from outside the city, it is naturally not the king of Zhou, as a prince, the king of Zhou cannot leave Kaifeng City without following the order. There are dozens of county kings here, but I don't know which one it is. Even if he has been traveling for many years, he has only seen the pomp and circumstance of King Qin's trip when he was reporting on his work in Xi'an, and the momentum seems to be inferior to what he sees in front of him.
Seeing the two of them looking at him, Li Xiuzhu was a little embarrassed, and said, "According to the rules of this ceremonial guard, it should be His Royal Highness the Prince, but" hesitated as he spoke.
It turns out that Li Xiuzhu is a native of Kaifeng, and every year the king of Zhou goes out of the city to worship his ancestors on the Qingming Festival, and he recognizes that this is the prince's guard of honor, but at this time it is only the early spring of February, and it is still far from the Qingming Festival, and there is no reason to worship the ancestors at this time, and the car battle in front of him is clearly coming in from outside the city, but this matter is strange.
"But His Royal Highness King Zhou didn't leave the city at this time, right?" Wu Wei took over the conversation, his eyesight was excellent, and he had already glimpsed from a distance that there seemed to be a word "Fu" on a big flag in the center of the queue. ”
Li Chong and Li Xiuzhu also saw the flag along Wu Wei's instructions, they both nodded slightly, but they were all surprised by the boss in their hearts, if it was really King Fu in front of him, it was really a great miracle, according to the ancestral system of "the two kings did not meet" in the Ming Dynasty, King Fu and King Zhou were both princes, and it stands to reason that they should not get along with each other, and he should not appear in this Kaifeng City anyway!
Speaking of which, this rule was set by Emperor Yongle, and he himself made an appointment with his younger brother King Ning to rebel and seize the world of his nephew Emperor Jianwen. For such a reason, his own family is very taboo about colluding with each other, and this rule is repeatedly ordered, and the punishment for violators is extremely severe, and the knight is removed from the country at every turn, which is terrifying, so the Ming generation, violating this ancestral system is really unheard of!
Moreover, King Fu is the son of Emperor Wanli and the uncle of Emperor Chongzhen, and King Zhou is the prince of Taizu at the beginning of the country. In fact, the two are just distant relatives who have been separated by more than ten generations, and they are already very far apart in terms of blood. This is also in the heavenly family, if it is in the people, there are five suits on both sides, and it is not a family at all.
According to the patriarchal system of feudal society, King Fu is the uncle of today, and his mother Zheng Guifei is noble, if Emperor Chongzhen has no queen, his line is the nearest heir to the throne! This probability is really not small, unlike the clan of the descendants of the reproduction, the Ming royal family has always had difficult heirs, and there are several emperors who have few sons or even no children, such as Ming Wuzong Zhu Houzhao has no queen, so he had to be enthroned by his cousin Zhu Houxi, who was later Emperor Jiajing, and today's saint is also because his brother Emperor Tianqi has no queen, so he can die as a brother!
And the mother and son of King Fu are deeply favored by Emperor Wanli, and they want to change the prince several times, even if Zheng Guifei made a case of the first of the three major cases in the late Ming Dynasty, and instructed someone to murder the prince, that is, the father of Tianqi and Chongzhen, Emperor Wanli didn't say anything, and there was no word of blame, if it wasn't for the courtiers to fight, it was really difficult to say who the emperor was at this time. And King Zhou is separated from the current royal family by 108,000 miles in terms of patriarchy, and he can't be sparse anymore, and there is no possibility of coveting the throne at all.
That is to say, although on the surface, the identities of King Fu and King Zhou are similar and comparable, but in fact, in the eyes of the court and the public, the status of the former is much higher than that of the latter.
It's just that why did King Fu's chariot battle violate the ancestral system and appear in Kaifeng? Thinking of King Fu's covetousness to the throne, it is difficult not to make people think of it, at least now Li Chong and Li Xiuzhu are a little suspicious
Seeing that the car was getting closer and closer to his house, Zhao Wenzhuo was busy with the place where he avoided, there happened to be a restaurant on the side, which was also one of the 72 main stores.
When the people will settle down, the chariot will arrive, and when they look closely, the whole honor guard is mighty, and there are as many as 200 people before and after, all of them are dressed in red and hung with colors, their clothes and armor are distinct, and the momentum is extremely strong.
Ansai is a small border county, where have everyone seen such a scene, one by one elated, pointing and pointing, as if looking at the Western scenery, even Li Ruolin and Xiao Lian are full of interest, leaning on the railing and looking down.
Kaifeng is a provincial capital, the common people are well-informed, more recognize the prince's guard of honor, only to see the place where the convoy has passed, the people on both sides have kowtowed to the ground, and the gentleman is also bowing down and standing, respectful to twelve points.
Wu Wei looked for the figure of King Fu in the convoy, and soon found the target, there was a noble man sitting in the elephant chariot in front of the convoy, although there was a curtain of Yinglu beads, but it could also be seen that this person was very young and light, should be about the same as himself, it was definitely not the appearance of King Fu who was over forty years old, and he was surprised in his heart, but he saw that Li Xiuzhu also noticed this, and the two of them looked at each other, and they heard Li Xiuzhu say: "I see, I understand."
