"The third child is awake? Father is sick, and he is about to become a prince, but he is awake?"

"Damn, if it weren't for the second brother fighting with me, the position of the crown prince would have been decided a long time ago, how could it be like this!"

On a mansion that is far more luxurious than the Shouwang Mansion, a banquet is being held.

In the middle of the wide hall, the dancing girls danced, the music slaves beat the bells and drums on both sides to a pleasant rhythm, and the graceful maids served the sumptuous wine and food one by one.

The Shang Dynasty's food utensils already had bowls, and in addition to bronze, there were also jade, lacquerware and white pottery, but the bronze was the most exquisite, and the latter few appeared slightly rough, and the craftsmanship was insufficient.

Therefore, bronze is the utensils that hold the staple food, at this moment on the top of the main table, there is a small copper tripod, the lower layer of the belly of the tripod is burning with red charcoal fire, and the smoke wafts out of the hollow smoke holes around it, and the water in the belly of the tripod has boiled.

This is Ding Shi.

In terms of food records, the Xia Dynasty was too far away, and there was too little information, and the most famous thing in the Shang and Zhou dynasties was the Ding Food, where the meat was first cooked in the Ding, and then taken out by the waiter from the Ding, dipped in various spices and served to the Son of Heaven and the ministers.

At first glance, it sounds a bit like a hot pot, but it is, but at this moment, two maids hold wooden chopsticks, take out pieces of tender meat, put them into a small dish full of seasonings, and respectfully present chopsticks, taking care of them with great care.

Wei Ziqi took the chopsticks and put the slices of meat dipped in seasoning into his mouth, which were layered and had an excellent taste, but he tasted the same as chewing wax.

Di Yi has a total of three sons, the eldest son Qi, the second son Yan, and the youngest son Xin.

Among them, Weizi Qi and the youngest son Xin are brothers of the same father and mother, and it stands to reason that the crown prince should be the eldest son.

But that's not how it works.

Because their mother gave birth to Wei Ziqi when she was a concubine, she was later promoted to the queen and gave birth to a young son, Xin.

According to the etiquette law, Wei Ziqi is the son of the concubine, and he is the concubine, and the youngest son Xin is the son-in-law, and he was later named the king of longevity.

On this point, the court is divided into two factions, one faction believes that Wei Ziqi is old and steady, and it is appropriate to inherit the great treasure, and the other faction is a firm supporter of etiquette, and the other faction is a firm supporter of etiquette, and although King Shou is young, he is born with divine power, and in this era of advocating force, it is indeed easy to win the favor of military generals.

It is precisely because of the many courtiers who support King Shou that he can marry Jiang as his wife, after all, Dong Bohou is the head of the eight hundred princes, and his concubine is the main room, so that he can be qualified to be the mother of the world in the future.

At that time, Weizi Qidu was close to giving up, who expected that the sky would fall to a happy event, on the day of the wedding, the heavens and the earth were discolored, and King Shou fainted to the ground, and this fainting was seven years.

In the first few years, the ministers often visited, hoping that King Shou would wake up, but when they saw that the Taishi was helpless, he gradually fell silent.

But just when Wei Ziqi thought that there was only one choice left for the government and the opposition, Wei Ziyan, who had been in the same boat with him before, suddenly wooed the ministers and revealed the intention of fighting for the dragon.

Everyone is a concubine, why can't he fight?

Wei Ziqi was shocked and angry, the most critical Emperor Yi was unpredictable, and the position of the crown prince was undecided.

However, since the beginning of the year, Di Yi is lying ill, his body is deteriorating, and he feels that the limit is approaching, and he already has the intention of establishing a reserve.

Shouwang is awake!

It stands to reason that a prince who has been asleep for seven years and is not involved in court politics should have no power to compete for the crown prince, but the power of orthodoxy in etiquette is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Just yesterday, more than a dozen officials, including Prime Minister Shang Rong, Doctor Mei Bo, and Doctor Zhao Qi, have already asked for the establishment of the East Palace.

The micron was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.

This feeling of giving hope and then killing it is really terrible.

"Report! The second prince has arrived!"

was eating hot pot tastelessly, and there was a report from outside the door that Weizi Yan had arrived.

Wei Ziqi snorted angrily, but he was not rude, stood up, and saw a thin man walking from outside: "Brother Wang!"

Wei Ziqi sneered: "Do you still have my brother in your eyes?"

Wei Ziyan bowed down and bowed, and made a big salute: "My brother was instigated by the villain, he was confused for a while, and he competed with Brother Wang for the throne, he really didn't think he could do it, I hope Brother Wang will forgive his sins!"

Wei Ziqi eats soft and not hard, seeing this younger brother groveling so much, his face softened slightly, but he sneered again: "I'm afraid it's not the third child who woke up, you just woke up, right?"

Wei Ziyan spoke softly, finally got up, sat down on the seat, and looked at the six tripods in front of Wei Ziqi's table: "In the royal family, only Uncle Bigan has the permission of his father and the prince to enjoy the seven tripods, and Brother Wang was originally only one step away from the nine tripods, but it's a pity that ......"

Ding food is very strictly divided, the emperor enjoys nine tripods, the princes and royal families are second, up to seven tripods, officials again, up to five tripods, if there is a violation, it is a rebellion, and the food in the various tripods is also exquisite.

Wei Ziqi is very particular about eating, and when he heard this, a haze flashed in his eyes, and he heard Wei Ziyan say: "The third child has always been domineering, and he has no respect for you and me, once he ascends to the throne, he will not find a barren fief, and he will be sent away, and then Brother Wang may not even be able to enjoy the six tripods!"

Wei Ziqi's chest rose and fell, and he said angrily: "You don't have to provoke anymore, what tricks are there to listen!"

Wei Ziyan said: "Brother Wang, have you ever heard that the Huang family is choosing a son-in-law for his daughter?"

"Huang's?" Wei Ziqi was stunned, and his tone was very solemn: "Huang Feihu's sister?"

The Huang family has seven generations of loyalty, in the Shang Dynasty in a high position, Huang Feihu's father Huang Roll is the famous marshal of the town, resisting the invasion of Dongyi, Huang Feihu is both civil and military, the commander is unparalleled, and he is named the king of the town and the country.

Such a family, if it can be won, it is simply the biggest helper, Wei Ziqi has been in contact with the Huang family before, but most of the prominent families of this kind will not participate in the battle for succession, and the Huang family is no exception.

But at this moment, Wei Ziyan reminded him that he couldn't react, and the Huang family's marriage was the best opportunity!

He clapped his palms, and his fighting spirit instantly rose: "Compared with the eight hundred princes, my father still trusts the Huang family more, didn't the third child marry the daughter of Dong Bohou?

......

......

At the same time, in the palace of King Shou.

After sending off another courtier who had come to visit, the Jiang family returned to the courtyard and saw Gu Cheng writing a pen.

She knew that her husband had been writing a book these days, a soldier's book.

This era is rare special works, the basic record is national events, among which the information related to divination is the most, because the way of writing the oracle bone inscription and Zhong Dingwen is in the hands of the high-level, even if there is a story among the people, it is passed on by word of mouth, and will not be handed down in written form.

If it is said that the greatest influence on later generations is some of the chapters included in the later Book of Poetry, and there are still doubts, what Gu Cheng did, Jiang Shi is really incomprehensible, just looking at Gu Cheng's movements, stroke by stroke, there is a thousand weights, as if there is a force in the underworld, preventing him from writing.

Gu Cheng was engrossed, and Jiang didn't dare to disturb, so he accompanied him silently.

Finally, a bamboo slip was written, and seeing that Gu Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, Jiang Shi served tea and said in a low voice: "Husband, do we really don't do anything?"

In this era, feelings are cultivated after marriage, and since I saw this husband, I began to take care of him who was sleeping and sleeping, and it is impossible to say that Jiang does not have the slightest grudge.

But these days of getting along with each other made her feel unprecedented satisfaction, and everything was made up.

It's a pity that it's clear that he is by his side, and sometimes he feels that the distance is farther than heaven and earth, and he can't guess what he is thinking in his heart.

More than a dozen ministers in the court are making a statement to Emperor Yi that they want to establish King Shou as the crown prince, and they should come forward to echo the ministers and strengthen their confidence.

As a result, Gu Cheng didn't do anything, just stayed in the mansion and wrote, was he really not interested in the emperor's throne?

It's just that the battle in this world is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, Jiang is not ambitious, insisting that her husband be the emperor and sit on the throne of the queen, but she knows that the battle for the dragon is extremely dangerous, once Wei Ziqi or Wei Ziyan ascends the throne and succeeds to the throne, how can they let go of the prince Shouwang?

When the time comes, I'm afraid it's a barren fief, and I don't want to give it!

At this moment, Gu Cheng patted her slightly cold soft cheek, and said with a smile: "Madame, don't worry, whoever it should be is who's it, some things can't be forced, we steal it in the mansion, and in a few months, you can see it again!"
