Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Covenant of Kubei Village 1

After the winter solstice, the envoys of various countries, the envoys of all ethnic groups, and the envoys of all the waiting countries stayed in the royal city of Haojing for three days, appreciated the prosperity and wealth of the king's residence, and visited the powerful and important ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Three days passed in a flash, according to the rules of the previous dynasties, foreign envoys came to stay in the royal city, and returned on the fourth day, and needed to go back to their own territory.

The fourth day came, and early in the morning, the royal city was crowded with chariots and horses, and the carriages of all nations, foreign tribes, and princes slowly drove from the city to the outside of the city. Because they had resigned from King Wu of Zhou at different times in the first three days, early in the morning of the fourth day, everyone packed up and set off from the palace of the king of Zhou, without entering the palace of Zhou again.

In the palace, King Wu of Zhou and Yi Jiang carefully arranged the guard of honor to see them off. Taishi Jiang Ziya and Taifu Ji Dan were the deputy envoys to see off, and the prince Ji recited the power of the king, went to the Xiangwang Pavilion, and sent the envoys of all countries out of the city, one by one. The send-off strategy has been planned in Jiang Ziya's heart for a long time.

Because the Zhou Dynasty had just been established, the foreign barbarians were eyeing each other, and there were more remnant merchant forces ready to move, if the first time all countries came to the dynasty, it could not consolidate the position of the Zhou Dynasty in the eyes of everyone, which would not be conducive to the unification of the country and the stability of the royal power in the future. Therefore, on the fourth day, the envoys of various countries and the envoys of all ethnic groups left the palace, and the palace made detailed arrangements for seeing them off.

Before the fifth watch arrived, the prince had woken up. Since listening to the government, the prince's living habits have been circled by the prince Jiang Ziya.

Ji Chan wakes up before five watches every day, and it has become a habit. Among the Taishi and Taifu, Ji Yu is most afraid of this grandfather Jiang Ziya, a first-class master who is full of scriptures and deceitful and power-seeking. On this day, in the Xiangwang Pavilion, he acted as the great king and bid farewell to the envoys of various countries, and the prince naturally got up earlier than usual. Wei Tong and Luo You waited left and right, and after a comb, the prince's honor guard walked out of Simin Terrace and went straight to the Xiangwang Pavilion outside the royal city.

Light snow was sparsely falling in the sky, and the prince's guard of honor was solemn and arranged. This ceremonial guard was deliberately arranged by Jiang Ziya, in strict accordance with the meaning of King Wu of Zhou, in order to let all foreign envoys and envoys of all ethnic groups understand that the heir of the Zhou Dynasty in the future is the prince Ji Chan, who is less than seventeen years old.

Jiang Ziya and Ji Dan stood respectfully on the left and right sides of the lookout pavilion to welcome the prince. At this time, the sky is not yet dawn, all the honor guards in the pavilion have been arranged neatly, the prince is in the main position in the farewell procession, there is Taishi Jiang Ziya on the left and right, and Taifu Jidan is serving, this specification is no less than the king personally seeing him off.

In the farewell guard of honor, the prince's home team was the first to arrive at the Xiangwang Pavilion. This send-off, there are arrangements in the palace, all foreigners, small countries have young children and relatives who go to school in the palace, can go to see off.

On this day, not only the prince's guard of honor, but also the largest Wang clan in Xiqi, Ji Hanrong, the eldest son of the king, Yao Gou and Ran Meier, the sons of Yao Shenhou, all came to see off the forces of the Nanquan Yao clan. The Xiqiang faction, Princess Ying'er, the noble lady, also came to see off the Qiang envoys. In the family study, there are also declining small clans, young sons of small countries, who can come to see each other off on this day. Of course, this includes all the young sons of the king, and they can come to see off their two royal brothers.

As the sky gradually brightened, a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove on the relaxed road. In addition to the master of the carriage, there were also guards on horseback, walking temple people, aunts, and servants, and for a while, the road was lively. Those who send each other, those who leave, and those who watch the lively people, merge the relaxation road out of the city into a river of people, which is very lively.

"Prince, there is snow in the sky today, and the temperature is so low, are you all here to see you off?" The eldest prince Ji Hanrong did not ride in the carriage, he rode a fast horse and greeted the crown prince from a distance.

"Yes, Brother Rong, come!" Ji Yu saw that Ji Hanrong was heroic and the horse was coming quickly, he immediately wanted to stand up, and after answering a little half, Jiang Ziya pulled the sleeve of his robe from the side of the main seat, preventing the prince from getting up. The crown prince knew that he was exercising royal power on behalf of the king today, he was the king, Ji Hanrong was the minister, and under the pull of Jiang Taishi, the prince understood and sat down immediately.

"The prince sits steadily, and the eldest prince can only come forward to pay homage, and at this time he needs to perform the courtesy of the monarch and ministers." Taifu Jidan lowered his voice, bowed his waist, and reminded the prince.

"Taifu reminds me." After the prince sat down steadily, he also replied to Ji Dan in a low voice.

This king's eldest son, Ji Hanrong, although he is used to being arrogant and domineering on weekdays, relying on the power of Mrs. Wang Gui's mother's family, does not take the prince who is two years younger than him in his eyes, but he understands the etiquette of monarchs and ministers very well. At this time, when he was called, he saw that the prince only answered, but did not stand up, and saw the prince standing on the left and right sides, so he knew what he should do at this time.

I saw Ji Hanrong turn over and dismount, throw the reins to the servant, and hurriedly stepped forward, after the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, the prince Ji Chan gave a seat to the side, Ji Hanrong saw Jiang Ziya and Ji Dan standing respectfully, so he naturally didn't dare to sit down, and also stood sideways to talk to the ministers and princes who came.

Gradually, the sky was already bright, the snow was dense in the air, and with the three trombones, all the envoys and envoys walked to the Xiangwang Pavilion on foot and bowed in order.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty, Weijia all over the world, now receive the grace of the saints, and admire it to the fullest. On this return trip, he will think of Tiande, be diligent in government and soothe the people, and stabilize the territory, so as to repay the virtue of King Wu's grace. Wu Genglu's father walked at the front of the envoy procession, he bowed to the ground with his hands, bowed, and shouted words of gratitude.

Following Wu Genglu's father, all the envoys and envoys knelt down and bowed, and the mountain shouted Long live, long live, long live the Great Zhou Dynasty! Seeing this, the prince quickly left the Xiangwang Pavilion, stepped forward quickly, helped Wu Genglu's father and others, said some polite words, and sent a hundred people out of the pickaxe capital gate.

Wu Yinding, Wu Mu Nu, Wu Gengying, Aunt You Xi, Si Zhao, Si Xia, Bi Zheng, Danxia, the young children of the king, and the maid aunt, came to see off. When Wu Genglu's father and Wu Geng Yu Yin went out of the city gate, they only glanced back, then got into the carriage and went out of the city.

Wu Yiding heard Sister Wang Wu Mu Nu, Sister Wang Dan sobbed softly, and said goodbye, while herself, clenched her fists, and swallowed tears into her stomach. Seeing the city gate slowly close and close, Brother Wang's figure disappeared, and her heart became cold.

Walking in the snow, for a while, Wu Yiding's brain was empty.

Looking at the gorgeous pickaxe capital in front of him, Wu Yiding suddenly wanted to burn down this royal city. She watched coldly as the prince's guard of honor passed by, and suddenly wanted to shoot a sharp arrow in her heart to shoot the heir of the Zhou Dynasty, who was held by the stars like the moon. But this sudden thought was just an idea, Wu Yiding knew that at this time, she couldn't do anything, and she couldn't do it, at least now, she had no way to do it.

After Wu Genglu's father and Wu Geng Yu Yin went out of the city gate, they said goodbye to the envoys and envoys of various countries one by one. After leaving the city for a few miles, Wu Genglu's father did not take the gorgeous carriage given by the last dynasty.

Both carriages are pulled by four BMWs, with soft pillows, sturdy frames, and a wide and soft interior that is very closed, allowing you to keep warm and lie down. After Wu Genglu's father and Wu Geng Yu Yin left the city, they rode fast horses ten miles away and galloped with more than ten servants accompanying them.

The more than ten servants who accompanied him were ostensibly servants, but they were all combat masters left behind in the war of the Shang Dynasty. The carriage was empty, and two other wagons loaded with food, cloth, and rice from the Zhou dynasty were loaded.

Wu Genglu's father and Wu Geng Yu Yin rode horses, and after running for more than two hundred miles in one go, they slowly slowed down their speed, and it was already noon.

"No matter how old and treacherous Jiang Ziya is, it is impossible for his eyeliner to be put here." Wu Geng Yu Yin let out a long breath, pulled the reins, and said.

"It's freezing cold, it's going to be the New Year, this cold place, the ice is hard and slippery, and even wild beasts are rare to see on the road, let alone people." Wu Genglu's father stopped, looked around and said.

The two princes of the previous dynasty, just in the city of the king of Zhou, still have a low eyebrows, no ambition, willing to be a servant, at this time, away from the palace of the king of Zhou, pick up the path to the direction of the song on the road of Kubei Village, the two princes raised their heads up, the figure is straight, the sword eyebrows are upside down, the spirit is extraordinary, as if back to the time when they were princes in the palace of the king of Zhou.

"Brother Wang, the snow is so big that I can't see the road to Kubei Village." Wu Geng Yu Yin said loudly.

"Don't get in the way, the brothers are all in the village well, and you can pass along this path." Father Wu Genglu said loudly in front.

As they spoke, everyone walked along a path.

The trail barely fitted a horse-drawn carriage. Wu Geng Yu Yin tightened his neckline, put on a cloth hat, and walked forward after him. Behind them, there were thirteen tall and short people, and the group also changed their rickety appearance when they parted in Zhou Wangcheng at this time, they were riding on horses, their eyes were shining, all of them were heroic, and they looked like martial arts masters. They followed Wu Genglu's father along the way, riding fast all the way, rarely speaking.
