Chapter 5 The words of the monarch and the ministers are insincere
"Zhengqing, Zhengqing, you can change it, if you have nothing to do, you can step down, it's getting late, you should rest." Yi Gao couldn't wait for him to leave.
"The minister has no intention of retiring, the minister knows that Handan Jun is also in Jiangtai, and he also accompanied Jun Shang to have fun for a day, he is not sensible, please set an example and teach him how to really serve Jun."
This is to blame Yi Gao for the mistake made by Zhao Chuan, Yi Gao is not a monarch in Zhao Meng's heart, if it weren't for his mother who made a big fuss in the court after the death of Duke Xiang of Jin, plus her clan power, he would not let Yi Gao ascend the throne. After Yi Gao succeeded to the throne, instead of making the Jin State stronger, the national strength gradually weakened, and Yi Gao's personal atrocities repeatedly made Zhao Meng regret that he had made him king.
Zhao Meng is powerful in the Jin State, he is not afraid of the monarch at all, he is loyal to the Jin State rather than the Jin Jun, as long as Yi Gao's behavior does not hinder him from governing the government, he will not abolish Yi Gao, and Yi Gao is still young and has no ability to govern, and cannot threaten Zhao Meng's power, Zhao Meng has no reason to take the risk of killing the king, and is criticized by the world for transgressing the etiquette system.
When Yi Gao heard this, he was so angry that his sleepiness disappeared for a long time, and he wanted to stand up and scold, but after years of suppression, he didn't dare to stand up and argue with Zhao Meng, so he held his anger in his mouth and swallowed it again, and said for a long time: "Yes." ”
Zhao Meng didn't retreat after hearing this answer, he turned around and walked out of the hall directly, and Yi Gao kicked over the table after waiting for him to leave.
The contradictions between the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State deepened and deepened, and the relationship between the prince of Chu and the Taifu was also very delicate......
"Why did the prince go hunting in Yunmengze again yesterday, didn't the teacher tell you that diligence and self-denial will make you sit firmly in the position of the prince, don't lift a stone to hit yourself in the foot, the king has high hopes for you!" Chu Guoyou's Taifu Douke said.
"Oh, Taifu, if I wasn't the eldest son, how could my father let me be the prince, this position is a good thing for others, but for me, it's a burden, I am forced by you and my father to work hard every day, and the officials are supervising, I, I really don't have any freedom at all." The bear couple leaned on the red wooden table and said lazily.
"You don't have any freedom at all? I persuaded you so many times that the king and I didn't listen, and you still went to school listlessly, and immediately after school, the dragon and tiger leaped, the eagle and the lackey, and you didn't learn anything, you look at the homework you wrote, let me give the king an explanation. Dou Ke looked like he hated iron but not steel, and spread the bamboo slips on the case for the bears to see.
"Taifu Mo wants to get angry." Xiong Liang still looked tired: "If I don't make it, Gongzi Xie, Gongzi Yingqi, and Zi will be ...... They are all manufacturable materials, so why don't you give up on me and take care of them? ”
Dare to take the inheritance of Guozuo as a child's play, Dou Ke has deep doubts about the bear couple in his heart, the bear couple is so stubborn, why don't the merchant ministers abolish him, compared to working the bear couple, it is better to be more vigilant about Gongzi Xie.
"The prince is joking about the succession to the unification? Do you know how much effort it takes to get to you......"
"Oh?"
Douk realized that he had gone too far. The position of the crown prince is the first priority to the throne, but according to the etiquette law, the position of the prince is not based on ability, but according to the primogeniture inheritance system.
It is well known in the history of the Chu State that they were killed because of the struggle for power, and the people of the Central Plains have regarded the killing of the king of the Chu State as a sign that they are barbarians, and they also consider it their tradition. King Wu of Chu killed his nephew and established himself as king; King Chu Cheng killed his own brother and ascended to the throne; Now Shang Chen killed his father and became the king of Chu...... It is an open secret that cannot be mentioned that the state of Chu openly violated the Zhou rites and did injustice, not to mention that the merchant ministers both killed the king and killed their own brothers, and kept the crown prince and ascended to the throne smoothly, such a topic is even more taboo.
"What does the Taifu mean by the hard work of going to the position of the crown prince?" Xiong asked knowingly, his eyes were black and white, innocent and innocent, as if he really wanted to know, really didn't understand.
"Being a teacher means that you want to cherish and keep the identity of the prince."
"Taifu, then I can't do it, don't bother with me." The bear couple got up, didn't salute, didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, hummed a poem, and walked out of the main hall directly.
Douke looked at the bear's back, the afterglow of the setting sun setting an orange outline on his white robe, and he swaggered out of the hall in ignorance and fearlessness. Dou Ke turned his eyes to look at the homework he wrote, on the topic of "The Way of a Gentleman", Xiong Lu's article was full of nonsense, and he was not prepared to be a monarch at all, and there were wine stains on the bamboo slips, which seemed to be driven out while drinking, and he was admonished Xiong Lu to go his own way and make corrections, he still went his own way, greedy for fun and did not do his job - such an ambitious prince, when the merchant was killed, he could be buried with him......
Thinking of this, Douke couldn't help but smile coldly.
The sky was cloudy, the rain and snow were thundering, and the snow fell all night until the early morning, and the blue sky was cloudless, and the sun was warm and warm.
In a courtyard in Zhao Meng's mansion, the snow on the ground has been swept away, and there is still some snow on the carved railings of the corridor. Song Yu was pacing in the courtyard, she was wearing a begonia red silk satin deep coat, covered with a white lamb's fur, her long and shiny hair was curled over her hips, and she had a long braid on the back of her head. She walked leisurely, leaning on the pines and cypresses in the court, standing and admiring the early snowfall, enjoying the rare tranquility.
"Xu Lu, why didn't you tell me that you saved a Mei Ji yesterday." The man's loud voice came from the front yard, this is Zhao Mengci's house for Lu, the man called Lu's name, presumably Xu Lu's close person, but the tone of the word "Meiji" in the words was extremely frivolous, which made Song Yu wary.
Xu Lu ran out of the hall quickly, the wind blew her loose hair messy, and when she saw Song Yu in the courtyard, she felt that she was so out of shape, and she felt sorry for being rude, but she couldn't care about it so much, so she rushed to the front yard.
"Lu see Handan-kun, why is Handan-kun here?" Xu Lu stroked her messy hair and said with a flushed face.
The person who came was Zhao Meng's cousin Zhao Chuan, with a fair complexion, red lips and white teeth, sparse eyebrows and big eyes, single eyelids, polite appearance, extremely immature, looking like he was in his twenties, and it was absolutely impossible to imagine that he was already a person who was already in his prime. He wears a golden jade crown on his head, a belt inlaid with Lantian jade around his waist, and a bronze sword inlaid with various colors of jewelry on his belt, which is very dazzling in the sun.
"Of course I'm here for the new Mei Ji, Lu, you're hiding it from me again, I heard that you saved a woman yesterday, and she looks like she's very fresh, bring her to me quickly." As he spoke, Zhao entered the hall, with one arm on one leg and one hand on his cheek, sitting crookedly on the upper seat of the hall.
