Chapter 241: The Heavenly Maiden Gets Married
My mother must be unhappy with my worship of King Wen as my father-in-law. Mrs. Taiji is Wending's daughter, but her mother is Wending's granddaughter, and she should be called an aunt to Taiji. And I called Mrs. Taiji the queen mother, which inevitably made my mother deeply embarrassed. Therefore, since she came to Hojing, her mother has been living in seclusion, and she has not seen the Zhou royal family once.
And I can't. Since the death of King Wen, Taiji's body and spirit have not been as good as before, and she is now sick, sometimes understanding, sometimes confused. Every time I went to see her, I had to follow her into a real and false memory at some point.
After Ji Xian went to Licheng, Ji Xian was reactivated by King Wu and was in charge of the prison. Ji Du was also appointed to a new position. I was deeply upset by this, but there was nothing I could do about it.
It is said that this matter was secretly led by Mrs. Taiji. Presumably, Mrs. Taiji wanted to work hard to resolve the contradiction between King Wu and Ji Xian before she died, otherwise the Ji Xian brothers would never have a bright future.
Another big event is the marriage of Princess Longji.
Originally, Jiang Shang wanted to take advantage of the marriage between Long Ji and Hong Jin to achieve the goal of controlling Sanshan Pass. But he didn't want the Zhou people to act openly and secretly on the north and south sides, which finally aroused the vigilance and suspicion of the king of Zhou. A few days ago, an edict was issued, and at the same time his father Li Jing and Hong Jin were dismissed.
When Hong Jin heard the news, he knew that staying in the commercial land would be more auspicious, so he took his sister Hong Xin, his general Ji Kang and hundreds of his own soldiers overnight, and went to Deng Guo to go to Haojing.
Although Jiang Shang's wishful thinking has been temporarily frustrated, it is naturally a good thing to have one more general and be able to keep Princess Longji. So King Wu came forward to meet Hong Jin in person, and gave him a mansion, and arranged for him to marry Princess Longji on a certain date.
Long Ji first stayed in my house next to the Lingtai Palace. This is the fourth time since the beginning of the week that I have become a bridesmaid.
On the eve of the wedding, Long Ji sat in the courtyard in a gauze robe, looking up at the bright moon above his head and was silent.
I asked stupidly, "Sister, will someone come to Yaochi?" ”
She muttered and shook her head, "I was demoted from Yao Chi." Besides, how could they attend my wedding to mortals? ”
"Then," I asked again, "what about the Jade Void Palace?" ”
She smiled bitterly, "Dean Shizun won't attend, unless this wedding is held in the Jade Void Palace." The associate dean, as well as all the professors, will not attend. Hong Jin is a member of Biyoumen, and with the current level of tension between Yuxu and Biyou, Biyou Palace will not send equal people. ”
"So on the side of relatives, there are only Yang Jian and Yang Chan brothers and sisters. The people of Yuxumen are you, Lei Zhenzi, Huang Tianhua, and Tuxingsun. Biyou's children, probably Hong Xin and Mei Lin. Hong Xin originally wanted to invite Dou Wan, but she didn't agree. First, it was a long way, and secondly, because Zhu Peier lost his life in Huashan. The others are probably the sisters in the academy and the people in the court. ”
I looked at her and asked curiously, "Is he the one who caused you to be demoted from Yaochi?" ”
She looked at me, "Who are you talking about?" ”
"Hong Jin!"
She smiled, "No. When that happened, Hong Jin was still a child! That man had already been executed by my mother. She was a little stunned, "Actually, my chance encounter with General Hong Jin five years ago was deliberately arranged by the old man Yuehe, so that I could have a common relationship and be able to return to Yaochi in the future, but the general has been kept in the dark." ”
"But," I asked, "sister, do you love him?" ”
She looked up at the moon, her eyes shining. "Among mortals, he is actually quite good. You know what? Because I robbed her, there was a girl who was so sad that she died! ”
I suddenly remembered, "Sister, isn't that Long Anji who has the same name as you?" She didn't come to Hokyung with Hong Jin. ”
"That's Long Anji!" The corners of Long Ji's mouth turned up, "Why did she come?" The last time I sent Hong Xin back, she almost killed me. Hong Jin was protecting me at the time, and my hands were injured! ”
Long Anji was angry at that time, left Sanshan Pass, and went back to Chaoge. Maybe General Hong Jin was removed from his post and it had something to do with her! ”
Although Hong Jin and Longji had no title and no official position in the Zhou Kingdom, as Longji's celestial daughter, King Wu still tried his best to hold an extremely luxurious wedding for her. The specifications surpassed all the princes and brothers, as well as the warrior king himself.
Long Ji wore a very luxurious red robe today, and I was still dressed in white.
Both sides of the road from Lingtai to Fengyi and even Hojing were already crowded with people watching the ceremony. The voices of the first and second voices came to my ears, and most of them were exclamations.
Many old people who had seen King Wen marry the sister of Lingtian more than forty years ago came to watch. After all, the sister of the sky is just like a goddess, but this is a real goddess. Some old people think that Taiji is far inferior to Longji, and naturally there are also old people who think that Taiji is the most beautiful when she is young.
Unlike the previous times, no one in these voices was commenting on me, which made me feel a little lost.
Hong Jin is also dressed very heroically today, but compared to Long Ji, he still feels a little overshadowed.
However, although the specifications of this wedding are high, it is not a royal wedding after all. There weren't that many royal families participating. Ji Xian is the representative of the Martial King. Others, such as the Eighth Prince's Brother Ji, the Ninth Prince's Brother Ji Feng, and the Fifteenth Prince's Brother Ji Gao, actually came with his wife. There are also military figures headed by Jiang Shang, Nangong Shi, and Lu Ding, all of whom were present.
However, less than half a month has passed here, and the funeral has come again. Mrs. Taiji died of illness and died less than two years after King Wen's death.
As the only eldest princess of the Zhou Kingdom, I kept a vigil for Mrs. Taiji until the end. When King Wen died, I had no legs and a wound on my pubic bone, so I stayed with Mrs. Taiji in the back. I couldn't hide anymore this time.
Soon after, Chaoge sent a team led by Doctor Jiao to come to condole. However, as the eldest princess of Yin Shang and the aunt of the king of Shang, this level is too low.
King Wu didn't care about this, but had a secret conversation with Jiang Shang and Ji Dan to summon Jiao Qi into the palace.
After Jiao's delegation left, Ji Xian, Ji Gao, Nangong Shi, Lu Ding, San Yisheng, and I were all summoned into the palace.
Martial King Ji Fa's face was serious, "Lord Jiao has brought news that our continuous actions in the north and south have aroused the vigilance of the Chao Ge side. Zuyi, Fei Lian and others have asked for a thorough investigation. Jizi, Weizi, Bigan and others accused the Su family of misleading the country. ”
However, King Shou finally adopted Shen Gongbao's suggestion and prepared to send the national teacher Kong Xuan to personally command an army of 100,000 troops to come to Zhoudi to conduct military exercises, so that we could express our surrender. What do you think? ”
As soon as King Wu's voice fell, he heard Nangong Shi reply: "My king must not." I think that the first king was imprisoned twelve years ago, and the king was trapped in Huashan last year, all of which were caused by the military exercises of the Shang army. How can they continue to do their own thing? ”
