The minister surnamed Zhu in the palace has a nephew surnamed Zhu, known as Zhu Gongzi, he lives outside the palace, lives by raising cattle and sheep, although the days are not rich and expensive, but it is less than the above, more than the bottom.

That time, Zhu Gongzi accompanied the minister to the wedding banquet of Emperor Wuding, and since he watched Kong Xiangsha's performance at the wedding banquet, he was fascinated by her smile and cheeks, and he has always been unforgettable for her. Later, Zhu Gongzi repeatedly showed favor to her, but she politely declined, she said that she had a deep affection for her late husband and could not forget, and she wanted to live and die with the Shang Dynasty in the palace, continuing her husband's sincere patriotism. Zhu Gongzi saw that the empty phase Shayan had come to this, so he no longer had such thoughts, and soon married someone else and forgot about her completely.

Zhu Gongzi married a woman from the Yu family who looked ordinary on the outside and did not have any special place, and concentrated on accompanying him to raise cattle and feed at home, but how did he know that the woman was "hijacked" by her parents at home, and always took advantage of Zhu Gongzi's absence to take advantage of the cattle and sheep in Zhu Gongzi's house, and quietly took away more than ten cattle or sheep a year, and was later discovered by Zhu Gongzi's mother. "How did this marry a woman with an honest appearance but a very dark belly?" Zhu Gongzi's mother thought to herself, she was very unhappy in her heart, and blamed Zhu Gongzi for not having vision. Under the condition that his mother threatened with death, Zhu Gongzi divorced the Yu woman in a fit of anger.

Zhu Gongzi had already left Empty Xiangsha behind, but now he has returned to the state of a person, and loneliness and loneliness are all coming towards him. "Good horses don't eat back grass", but Zhu Gongzi was not angry, and remembered the empty phase again, so he began to show favor to her again. But Empty Xiangsha really didn't mean anything to him, and once again turned him away from thousands of miles away. Zhu Gongzi was so angry about this incident that he didn't eat for three days and three nights, and almost committed suicide. When his mother saw this, she was very annoyed that her son had hurt himself for the sake of her children's affairs and was willing to degenerate, which made her a mother's face and reprimanded him for having no interest. Under his mother's reprimand and teaching, he finally regained his spirit, got up again, and devoted himself to feeding the cattle and sheep.

This matter was known by Emperor Wuding, and the palace maid Afu was rewarded to Zhu Gongzi, Emperor Wuding saw people with a good eye, Afu not only looks good, but also knowledgeable, understanding, and knows how to paint on oracle bones, her paintings are vivid, so that everyone is amazed. She lost her parents since she was a child, was elected to the palace to be a palace maid, diligent, down-to-earth, often received royal rewards, after marrying Zhu Gongzi, she helped Zhu Gongzi feed cattle and horses, life was very happy, envious of others, this time Zhu Gongzi finally left the empty phase Sha really behind.

Thinking of Cao Cao's arrival, early the next morning, Qiu Feng came to report to the woman: "Niangniang, Lord Empty Phase Shale Guan came to greet you." ”

"No!" The woman said. After a while, Kongxiangsha came in, she looked energetic, and after she asked the woman to say goodbye, she asked her why she had come here.

"Emperor Wuding has ordered me to come and discuss with you about the musical event of your birthday." Empty Xiangsha said.

"My birthday?" The woman was a little puzzled, looked down and thought, sure enough, three days later was her birthday, and it was rare for Emperor Wuding to take care of every opportunity, and he still remembered his birthday in his busy schedule.

"When I got married, I listened to the music gathering you organized, and the aftermath was endless. You guys played really well, but you don't know what to discuss? The woman asked.

"Do you prefer to listen to Tao Xun play more, brass bells play more, or round drums and stone chimes?" "I'll arrange the music in different styles according to your preferences." ”

"Brass bells." The woman thought for a moment and said, "Besides, I want you to perform a dance alone." In addition to the delphinium dance, what other dances do you hide? ”

"Okay, I'll arrange more brass bells and cymbals to play. In addition, we will dedicate another fan dance, what do you think? Empty Xiangsha asked.

"Very good." The woman replied. After discussing with the woman, Kong Xiangsha went back. Three days later, the woman's birthday came as scheduled, and Emperor Wuding ordered the cook to kill the sheep and slaughter the cow, and made a whole fragrant sheep roasted to a golden brown body with oil. A bronze bowl with cicada patterns on the surface was already filled with wine, and the maid poured wine glasses for the two of them, and the bronze plate was full of melons, fruits, apricots, chestnuts, etc. Although Emperor Wuding likes to be lively by nature, he is still willing to spend this birthday alone with his wife. Wouldn't the two of them be happy while sipping fine wine, eating the roast lamb that the cook cut down with a knife for them and putting it on a bronze plate, and listening to the music played by the musicians led by Kongxiangsha?

After the music was played, they presented a wonderful folding fan dance, and the fan was performed lightly and flexibly in their hands, which was very obedient. Just as they were watching with relish, someone from the deep palace came to report, saying: "Qiqi Wu Gaozong, the Qiang people have entered and have attacked the deep palace." Emperor Wuding was shocked when he heard this, and stood up, "As soon as Lone leaves the palace, there will be Japanese invaders, could it be that there are secret agents in the palace?" Seeing this, Empty Xiangsha led the musicians away.

"Maybe it's just a coincidence." The woman stood up and said, "Let the concubine lead the troops to resist." ”

"Don't panic! Today is the birthday of Concubine Lonely, how can you stir up Yaxing? Emperor Wuding said.

"The Qiang side is not able to measure his strength, he underestimates the strength of my Yin Shang, and only an iron-inlaid army under the right division in my Wangji Inner Palace can defeat them. Not to mention the copper-inlaid army, silver-inlaid army, and gold-inlaid army under the banner of the right division, as well as the army stationed here by General Nuhao. Deliver my decree and mobilize the Iron Plate to resist the invaders. Emperor Wuding gave an order to the messenger, "If resistance fails, mobilize other troops." ”

Emperor Wuding really expected things like a god, confident, the iron inlay army was brave and good at fighting, there were a team of soldiers with ge, spears, and archers, because they had been persevering in the practice of combat, this time the Qiang people suddenly attacked, they easily captured some intruders alive, and repelled the Qiang attack. When the good news came, Emperor Wuding was very happy. Three days later, a sacrifice was held in Wangji. As a sacrificial official, the woman presided over the sacrifice in a sacrificial ground with an area of about several thousand square meters, and she stood on the sacrificial altar with a serious gaze, scanning the civil and military officials and soldiers under the stage, who were standing straight, like trees growing straight one by one. The woman solemnly recited the sacrificial text to several pieces of animal bones, and King Wuding ordered several Qiang people who were captured alive to be tied up with ropes and pushed alive into the pit to sacrifice their ancestors.

"Lone decided to build a temple near this neighborhood in seven days to worship the ancestors. Several slaves who were imprisoned, their wives, and children were captured and sacrificed. King Wuding said to one of his virtuous ministers, "This important matter is left to you to deal with, draw the drawings of the temple, and then write the sacrificial texts and hand them over to the women." ”

"Commandment." Fu said that Emperor Wuding turned around and went back to the palace when he heard this.

"What law did those slaves break? Why was he put in prison? Seeing that Emperor Wuding had left, the woman asked in a low voice.

"Oppression always invites revolt, and it is all rebels." Fu Shuo replied.

"Even if they break the law, what is wrong with their wives and children?" The woman asked.

"According to the laws of the Shang Dynasty, it is a great fortune not to punish the nine clans!" Fu said loudly. When the woman heard this, her whole body trembled, after all, people's hearts are flesh and blood, and she couldn't bear to think that innocent children were used to kill and sacrifice alive. In the face of robbers and gangsters, she can be fearless, but in the face of such a cruel indiscriminate killing of innocents, she has to be afraid. Although she is the general and high priest of the Great King, she knows her identity and must not interfere in the affairs of Emperor Wuding, so as not to cause annoyance, who calls her just a courtier.

"Recently, you stayed in Jiaohua Palace, and then went back after the temple sacrifice." Emperor Wuding was sitting in the Qilin Hall and commenting on the bones, and when he saw the woman coming in, he said.

"No, I still have to go back to Enluyuan, I'm used to living there." Seeing Emperor Wuding looking at him in a daze, she realized that she had said something wrong, and she actually disobeyed Emperor Wuding's will, so she lowered her head and changed her words: "No." ”
