Chapter 9 Bamboo Basket Fetching Water (Subscription Requested!)

"Prepare the gifts, bring the eight hundred war slaves, choose a good day and an auspicious day, and send them to the Yellow Mansion together. ”

Weizi Qi was full of red light, beaming with joy, waving his palms, and personally supervising his wedding.

As the eldest son, he has his own eyeliner in the palace, and the conversation between Di Yi and the four ministers is indeed very secret and has not been leaked, but for the arrangement of the Huang family's marriage daughter, it has been learned by Wei Ziqi for the first time, and he is simply ecstatic.

Because he knows that Di Yi has already made a choice.

With the status of the Huang family in the army, if Emperor Yi does not pass on the throne to him, then letting him marry the daughter of the Huang family now is to force King Houshou to ascend the throne and kill this brother.

It is impossible for Di Yi not to consider this, so it is obvious that this is the best proof to let him ascend the throne and succeed to the throne.

After seven years of hard work, it finally succeeded!

"Congratulations Brother Wang! Congratulations Brother Wang!"

And Wei Ziyan, who learned the news, also rushed to the first time, with a sincere smile on his face, and gave his hand again and again.

Wei Ziqi knew that this younger brother might not be able to envy, jealousy and hate in his heart, but the more this was the case, the more he enjoyed it, and waved his hand, "Well, since Brother Wang has a heart, he will choose more foreign slaves as a bride price for Lonely!"

Wei Ziyan's cheeks twitched slightly, and he hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes, you must choose five hundred foreign slaves, so that Brother Wang can fight for face!"

The marriage of the aristocracy in this era, the most crucial bride price and dowry, was the slave.

The same is slavery, and there is still a difference between slaves in the Shang Dynasty and slaves in the traditional sense.

Traditional slaves were bought by slave owners to serve as cattle and horses, work hard, and carry bricks and stones, while slaves in the Shang Dynasty were used for martyrdom and human sacrifice in addition to labor.

As the name suggests, human martyrdom is the burial of the living, and this tradition has been running through thousands of years, but the number of martyrs in the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties is the largest.

And human animals are sacrificed to the heavens and the earth, taken from the heavens, and returned to the heavens.

In later generations, many black and white skulls were found in the ancient tombs of Yin Shang, precisely because this kind of slave was the best grade of burial sacrifice because of its appearance and skin color, and it was also called foreign slaves.

Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan have been fighting for many years, of course, they know that this younger brother has raised a lot of alien slaves, and this time it is called a dowry, in fact, he wants to cut a piece of meat from him.

As for after he ascended the throne, he arbitrarily divided a remote fief of Wei Ziyan and sent things away.

"Shou Wang suffers death!"

Just as he was contemplating the future, a deafening old roar spread throughout the small half of the capital, Wei Ziqi's face changed slightly, and the guards protected him for the first time, looking towards the place where the voice came from.

"What's going on?"

"Report, the high priest of Dongyi assassinated His Royal Highness King Shou, and the Taishi and King Wucheng are fighting with him!"

"Is that so?"

Wei Zi Qi and Wei Zi Yan who came over looked at each other, and they only felt incredible.

Dashang and Dongyi have been fighting for many years, although it is rare to win a big victory, but the strength of the two sides is there, and Dongyi is on the weak side, that is, relying on horsemanship, geographical advantages and witchcraft, tenacious support.

Therefore, the Dongyi people are presumptuous in the capital of the Great Commerce, or the first time, how unlucky is King Shou to encounter such a desperate suicide attack?

But at this moment, Wei Ziyan's eyes flashed, and he proposed, "Brother Wang, don't you go and take a look?"

Hearing the sound of the earth shaking, Wei Ziqi's eyes showed fear, and he glanced at him coldly, "Are you letting Lone Yourself be in danger?"

Wei Ziyan said, "Brother Wang will be the prince of the country, sharing the worries of his father, and when he encounters this kind of thing, he will naturally come forward." ”

Wei Ziqi hesitated for a moment, and finally shook his head, "With Wen Taishi and King Wucheng present, I can't help alone, so I still don't want to make trouble." ”

Wei Ziqi is calm, knowing that he is only half a step away from the position of the prince, now is not the time to make a sideshow, anyway, he does not have the courage of King Shou, he simply became a good baby, and succeeded to the throne safely and steadily.

Wei Ziyan sighed in his heart, knowing that he had no hope anymore, listening to the sound of the fierce battle in Shouwangfu from afar, he sincerely sighed, "After this time, my Dashang and Dongyi will not die, I am afraid that it will be another national battle, and the treasury is not very abundant now......"

"Third brother!"

Wei Ziqi's eyes were also slightly sad, after all, he and King Shou were siblings, and they were born in the same mother.

But if you think about it, that's not bad.

King Shou's identity as a concubine is a thorn in the net after all, just as Jiang was worried, he already had a plan, after ascending the throne, he would not give King Shou a fief, but arranged him in the mansion and placed under house arrest until death.

Of course, no matter how much you look at it under your nose, it is inevitably dangerous, and Wei Ziqi doesn't want to bear the notoriety of killing his brother, and now that King Shou died in the hands of Dongyi, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds?

Wei Ziqi made a good calculation in his heart, his surface was calm, his hands were on his back, his head was slightly upward, looking up at the sky, waiting for the result.

The sound of the battle lasted for half an hour before it gradually stopped, and Wei Ziqi felt that it was almost over, straightened his clothes, and set off in a leisurely manner.

When he brewed his feelings and was about to pounce on King Shou's corpse and cry loudly, he found Jiang and Huang Feiyan standing in front of the mansion, directing the servants to clean the broken gate and the traces of the battle.

Weizi got out of the carriage and walked over.

"Brother Wang!"

Jiang Shi saw it, and greeted him generously.

"Brother and sister are polite!"

Wei Ziqi carefully observed her expression, hoping to see the pain and sadness, but unfortunately it backfired, Jiang seemed to have solved a big problem in life, and his joy was overflowing.

It seems that nothing happened to King Shou.

It's not surprising to think about it, after all, there are Wen Taishi and King Wucheng, even if the Dongyi people are dead again, as long as King Shou takes the lead in dodging, he won't be able to hurt him.

"Why don't you die!"

Weizi Qiben had no killing intent, but he thought too perfectly before, but now he has not realized it, but there is a dissatisfaction in his heart, and he no longer wants to look at Jiang, so he swept his eyes and looked at Huang Feiyan, but he showed a look of surprise.

In this era, there are not so many constraints on women to get married, and they must not see their husbands, Wei Ziqi has long inquired about Huang Feiyan's appearance, and at this moment he recognized her at a glance, and found that she was heroic, beautiful and moving, and above the description, she couldn't help but feel comfortable.

He smiled obviously, and Huang Feiyan's eyes were crooked when he saw it, and he said narrowly, "The eldest prince doesn't know what happened, right?"

Jiang had a gentle temperament, held Huang Feiyan's hand and shook it, signaling not to slap her face on the spot, but the girl ignored it, and her wonderful eyes fell on Wei Ziqi's face without blinking, and she opened the first blow, "I won't marry you!"

Wei Ziqi's smile froze.

Before he could react, Huang Feiyan followed up with a second series of critical strikes: "Your position as the crown prince is gone, it's not yours, it's not after all!"
