Chapter 127: Joists change columns
Morning song.
The ghost side, the dog Rong, and the Dongyi tripartite Dading, the great merchants once again established their own supreme military might, and the eight hundred princes all trembled when they heard it, you must know that these three parties almost do not have a fuel-efficient lamp.
With the return of the three victorious divisions, the morale of the Dashang army and the people has been greatly boosted, and the downward trend of the country's situation, which was originally turbulent, has also stabilized, and even slowly improved.
Although Di Yi has been in poor health recently, today he is in good spirits, sweeping away his usual sick appearance, and after thanking the gods and ancestors as usual, the real hero Taishi Wen Zhong and the national teacher Qingyun Zhenren and the generals finally received the praise they deserved.
The great merchant Taishi Wen Zhong looks to be more than fifty years old on the outside, with a majestic appearance, his eyes are bright, and his upright face exudes a momentum of not being angry and arrogant.
Compared with the familiar Dashang Optimus Prime, Wen Zhong is more noticeable today, but it is the Taoist on Wen Zhong's left, wearing a green robe, and the appearance of carrying fairy wind Dao bones with both hands is even more secretly praised, what a fairy person.
Great Business National Teacher! This is the first time that the hundred officials of the Great Shang Dynasty have seen this prestige, and even Wen Zhong willingly let this national teacher stand at the head of the left side, so he had to make the hundred officials secretly shocked. (Xia, Shang, Western Zhou: The main body respects the right.) Yin Shang worships ghosts, and emphasizes more on respecting the left in terms of sacrificial etiquette, and the whole is still dominated by the right. )
At this time, Di Yi finally finished speaking, the master of ceremonies announced the beginning of the extended seat, the musicians and musicians struck a simple and pleasant bell music on the exquisite bronze bells and drums, and the graceful palace maids brought up the sumptuous wine and food one by one. In addition to the dishes, the food utensils of the Shang Dynasty court also have 簋, beans, etc., and the materials are also divided into jade, lacquerware, white pottery and bronze, but the jade and ceramics at this time are relatively simple, and the food is mainly cattle, sheep, pigs, fish, bacon and animal offal, supplemented by some delicious vegetables at that time.
This is the famous "Ding Food" of the Shang Dynasty, where the prepared meat is first cooked in the placed Ding, and then taken out of the Ding by the waiter, dipped in various spices and served to the Son of Heaven and the ministers. Interestingly, there is also a strict hierarchy system, the Son of Heaven is nine Ding, the princes are seven, the doctors are five, and the rest of the officials are three. The food in the various tripods is also exquisite, so I won't repeat them here. At this time, the "Ding" is not just a simple cooking utensil, but a kind of representative ritual vessel.
This time it can be described as a battle for the foothold of the Great Shang, and the eight hundred princes were all terrified by the fierceness of the Great Shang, and even the princes who had not paid tribute for many years began to send envoys.
"Hehe, everyone, today I should respect the soldiers of the three armies, and I must respect all the generals who fought bloodily for my great business, so that my great business can shock the world, and also respect the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.
Di Yi! The thirtieth king of Dashang, when he succeeded to the throne, the national teacher of Dashang had tended to decline, although this king did not have much ability, but he knew how to make good use of people, especially the promotion of Wen Zhong became the Optimus Prime of Dashang, and now the unpredictable national teacher Qingyun Zhenren.
"I salute the king."
At the palace banquet, this time the civil and military officials showed joy on their faces, after all, the declining Great Shang not only stopped the trend of decline, but now there is a faint tendency to make the eight hundred princes jealous and respected again, how can they not be happy.
Onigiri reads a book
Emperor Yi, the king of Shang who drank the wine, stroked his beard and laughed, the face of the poor body in the past was even more ruddy today, looking at the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, his eyes were full of pride.
I think he was a complete mess when he took over this big business, and now he can't say that he can turn the tide, but it is indeed making the national strength of the big business thriving, especially in terms of military might, and it is even more powerful to the princes of the world.
"Haha, there are no kings and ministers at today's banquet, just open up and drink."
Di Yi, who was in a rare good mood, picked up the wine bottle again, drank it directly in front of the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty, and signaled that you don't have to be formal, but although the minister of civil and military affairs was excited, he dared to be presumptuous, and hurriedly returned the salute and toasted.
However, Di Yi didn't care about it, laughed directly, greeted a few people from the royal family who were familiar with each other, and directly put on a posture, so that everyone could drink to their heart's content today.
I have to say that although Di Yi does not have much merit, he is definitely a first-class master in terms of the means of buying people's hearts, and this son has completely inherited the style of his father.
With Di Yi's attitude of disregard, the civil and military officials below also began to laugh and toast each other a little openly.
"Brother Sanwang, you usually like to drink the most, why are you so restrained today?"
The one who spoke was a white-clothed and short-bearded young man at the top, who was the eldest brother of King Shou, Di Yi had a total of three sons, Wei Ziqi was the eldest brother, Zhongyan (Wei Ziyan) was in the middle, and Zishou (Shang Wang) was the youngest. Wei Ziqi's mother gave birth to Zi Qi and Zhongyan when she was still a concubine, and later became a wife before giving birth to Di Xin is the brother of the same father and mother, according to the etiquette of the Shang Dynasty, Zi Qi and Zi Yan are the sons of concubines.
It is the identity of this "son of the concubine" that makes the two royal brothers full of jealousy towards Zishou, even Zishou's kind-looking brother Wei Ziqi is no exception.
At the banquet, facing his own brother Wei Ziqi pretending to be concerned, Zishou smiled directly, and his words and deeds did not have the slightest rudeness.
"Thank you Brother Wang for your care, it's really that the foolish brother has been used to this problem of not drinking alcohol on weekdays in the army for so many years."
A sentence of rebuff suddenly made the civil and military officials in the field pretend to be deaf and dumb one by one, as if they didn't hear or see it, but Wei Ziqi smiled slightly, and seemed to be happy and said: "Then the three royal brothers have to adapt well, after all, Chaoge is not in the army." ”
The smell of gunpowder under the verbal confrontation between the two is very strong, Zishou does not mean that he sits in the rear like you and reaps the credit, but he personally led the troops to fight on the battlefield on the front line.
How could Wei Ziqi not hear the meaning of these words, not only did he not get angry but fought back with a smile, which means that this is the royal capital of the Great Shang, but it is not in the army, is it difficult and dangerous? Isn't this a small businessman?
Under the-for-tat, the two seemed to be harmonious, but the civil and military officials on the side pretended to be stupid, and they looked like they were too drunk and flushed and didn't hear anything.
Looking at Di Xin's bronzed and strong skin, Wei Ziqi squinted his eyes and nodded slowly, this royal brother of his is really a natural general, he is indeed convinced in this regard, but it is a pity that they are not generals, and the king of Dashang is not a general.
"I heard that the third royal brother led the troops to attack Dongyi this time, and even won the favor of the eldest daughter of Jiang Huan Chu, the eldest brother of Dongbohou, the eldest brother congratulated the third royal brother in advance."
Under Wei Ziqi's appearance, Ling Zishou smiled, looking like a brother and a brother, I don't know how good the relationship between brothers is.
"Hehe, this time it's really a disciple's luck, when he led the partial division to attack the Dongyi army, he happened to rescue the daughter of Dongbohou, as for the favor, it's just a gift from his father."
-for-tat counterattacked, but it was not his plan, but luck, not to mention, but also his own father Emperor Yi, who didn't know, thought that Emperor Yi had been biased to his side.
When Wei Ziqi heard this, not only did he not get angry, but raised his eyebrows and smiled, and arched his hand: "In this way, the eldest brother congratulates the third royal brother on the return of the beauty, so that he will not compete with the eldest brother for the daughter of the old general Huang Roll." ”
In an instant, Zi Shou narrowed his eyes slightly, it turned out that his own eldest brother was playing such an abacus, and now in addition to Taishi Wenzhong, the old general Huang Roll is the most prestigious in the army.
Wei Ziqi smiled but there was a cold light in his bright eyes, your son was really powerful, not only made great achievements, but also won over Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu, but so what, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, if he can marry the daughter of the Huang family, it can be said that he has his own people in the army of the Great Shang.
Among Di Yi's three sons, the eldest son, Wei Ziqi, has always had connections and fame among the civil officials, and he is slightly inferior in the army, but if he can marry the daughter of the Huang family, this does not exist. And Zishou is good at the army, and the name of being able to fight well has already spread all over the world.
The daughter of the Huang family, after thinking of the girl who used to dance with knives and guns, Zishou suddenly smiled, grinned at her eldest brother and said with a smile: "The third brother has heard that the girl of the Huang family is dancing with knives and guns, and even said that unless she can defeat her immediately, she is qualified to go to the Huang family to propose marriage, otherwise it will be humiliating for herself to come." ”
If there is a smile, Wei Ziqi squinted his eyes, how could he not know that the Huang family has now been honored by the sixth king of the Great Shang, and it is also very interesting to go to the front line this time, his father Emperor Yi actually ordered the three sons of the Huang family to assist the three of them, and the daughter of the Huang family under the royal order is just a daughter of the Huang family, and in the end he can do nothing.
Wei Ziqi and Di Xin laughed but fought each other, but Wei Ziyan, as the second eldest, talked and laughed and drank and ate meat, but Zishou would not underestimate his second brother.
Wei Ziqi and Wei Ziyan are almost wearing a pair of pants, everyone knows that Di Yi's second brother has almost no fighting spirit to fight for this throne, but he has already made his position clear against his eldest brother.
What is more interesting is that after the Shang destroyed the Zhou Dynasty, Wei Ziqi was sealed by King Zhou Cheng in Shangqiu, the old capital of the Shang Dynasty, established the Song Kingdom, and was given the title of Duke, and he was specially allowed to use the Son of Heaven to worship the Shang Dynasty, becoming the founding ancestor of the Song State of the Zhou Dynasty, and later generations called Song Weizi.
What's more interesting is that after Wei Ziqi's death, his second brother Wei Ziyan (Song Weizhong) inherited the throne of the Song monarch.
It is true that these two brothers have achieved this point of brotherhood, friendship and brotherhood, and even the throne is seated in turns.
When the three future heirs of the Great Shang Dynasty confronted each other, several important ministers in the court didn't seem to see it, and even Emperor Yi smiled and waved his hand to talk to everyone, as if he didn't pay attention to it at all.
Katsa!
At this moment, an inaudible voice sounded, and Qingyun, who was holding up a glass of sake and drinking it, looked at Di Yi above without a trace, and sure enough.
I saw Wen Zhong slowly put away his sword fingers, and there was a layer of surging mana that transformed the voice, as if everyone didn't hear it, on the other hand, Di Yi saw Wen Zhong's gesture invisibly and then gently glanced at the top of his head, and suddenly the corners of his mouth slowly hooked up and showed a smile.
"Haha~ Come and drink."
Obviously saw it but pretended not to see it, and Wen Zhong secretly cast a spell, Qingyun couldn't help but shake his head and laugh at all this, this Emperor Yi is really interesting, he actually used this to test his own son who is the most filial, maybe the emperor's family is ruthless, this is the last trace of luck in his heart.
Katsa~
In the main hall, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs did not say anything, and if it weren't for Wen Zhong's secret troublemakers, this voice would have already alarmed the military generals in the army.
Katsa~
This time everyone heard it, when Emperor Yi of Shang was talking and laughing with the three neighboring princes and important ministers. Suddenly, I heard a sound of Kacha overhead, this is the silence in the hall, countless people looked up, only to see that there was a pillar in the hall that was broken at the waist, and the hall was about to collapse.
At this moment, everyone has no time to react, even! Under the secret Wen Zhong's spell, it actually made countless generals secretly dizzy, as if they were on the top of this wine.
The pillar is broken at the waist, and this black and oppressive hall is about to be smashed down, and it is really slapped below, even if it can save his life, I am afraid that it will hurt his muscles and bones. Everyone panicked, and when they didn't know whether to escort or flee for their lives for a while, Di Yi pretended to be flustered and exclaimed: "Wang'er, save your father!" ”
At this moment, Di Yi seemed to have forgotten the civil and military ministers under his command, and even more seemed to have forgotten that there were many capable people under his command, but only his relatives were remembered at this critical moment.
Maybe this is human nature, what comes to mind at the moment of life and death is always your own relatives, not the generals who seem to have multiple uses to appreciate on weekdays.
Wei Ziqi was stunned, looking at the hall that was about to collapse, Tong Kong only had fear in the first place, and his second brother Wei Ziyan hurriedly grabbed his eldest brother and wanted to flee out under the conditioned reflex.
"Father, be careful!"
When it was too late, I saw a person suddenly jump out of the middle of the prince's seat, and I saw that the son was in such a hurry that he barely had time to think, and there was only anxiety in his eyes, and at the same time he roared angrily at his father, and at this time there were still people who blamed the fault of the rudeness in front of the palace.
Under the panicked gaze of Emperor Yi and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, the young Zishou rushed up directly, and hugged the broken big pillar with both hands at once.
The hall above his head, which seemed to be about to collapse, was actually covered by a pillar surrounded by his arms, and under the huge force of the shock, Di Xin's face was red and his eyes were even more bloodshot, and the guards on the side seemed to have been prepared, and hurriedly carried over a new pillar.
I saw that Zishou roared angrily, grabbed the bottom with one hand, and reluctantly pushed the collapsed hall back to its original position, and the pillar erected on the side was directly slapped by him when he came over.
With a bang, the brand-new pillar replaced the old and broken pillar, and the replacement of the pillar by the hand joist made the civil and military officials of the Great Shang even more shocked, even Wen Zhong never thought that this Emperor Xin would be so brave, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"Father!"
"King!"
After the danger passed, everyone reacted, especially Wei Ziqi's face was pale, the scene just now, he immediately understood, not to mention anything else, just said that the Taishi Wen Zhong with a blank expression was indifferent, he knew that this was a well-planned catastrophe, not to mention them, even most of the officials were secretly shocked.
Suddenly there was no time to think about it, at this time, the sweaty Zishou seemed to be a little out of strength, and when he raised his head, he saw the eyes on his father's panicked cheeks, and there was a sense of relief in the peace, this accident that allowed the monarch and ministers to avoid a catastrophe, Zishou smiled bitterly, it turned out to be his father's calculation.
At this time, his heart was full of complexity, there was a hint of schadenfreude, and Zishou couldn't describe his mood at this time.
