"Sister, isn't there a plan?"

"Is there anyone who can rebel?"

Mang Ergu thought for a while, and then realized: "I heard that Ji Boyan is the death of the former abolished prince Hui, and this time because of the loss of Xing Ying's daughter, is she worried about the crime, does my sister mean this person?"

"Exactly."

"Something that is old, after many years, I'm afraid it's difficult." Mangu shook his head.

"But it's not that hard. He had a younger brother, who was a doorman of the Duke of Zhou's mansion, who was sent by the Duke of Zhou to inquire about Kui Duoyou, and did not want his brother to be sent to Yewang by the king, and this person had been delayed in Chaoge City. This person is already under my control, take him as a hostage, and I am not afraid that Ji Boyan will turn against me."

"In this case, this matter will be handled by my brother, if you really have Boyan's help, great things can be done."

After discussing for a while, and implementing all the details one by one, Uzhina breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the stone case and waved her arms suddenly, the sound of the piano on the case jingled, accompanied by Uzhina's clear voice, and she sang with agitation and sadness: "The morning breeze is quiet, the reckless northern forest, there is no gentleman, Qin Qin is worried. How to how, selflessness is so much. There are peaches and plums, there are pines and cypresses in the mountains, no gentleman has been seen, and he is infatuated. How to do it, selflessness is so ......"

At the end of the song, Mang Ergu let out a long exclamation: "Sister Qinyin is sad, is it because of the king's wedding?"

Uzhina's thoughts pulled back, and she suddenly sneered and asked, "Do you know what solar term was yesterday?"

Mang Ergu was stunned: "Qingming has passed, and the rain has not yet arrived!" Yesterday was not the day of the solar term!"

Urina glanced at her younger brother, and there was some desolation in her words: "You won't know that according to the solar terms of Qi country, yesterday was the beginning of the year, and it is suitable for spring marriage. In order to show his sincerity in marrying Qi State, the monarch deliberately chose the marriage date according to the solar terms of Qi State. Do you understand?" :

The civilization of Qi has always come from a unique style, which is very different from that of the Central Plains. Let's just say that this calendar festival, the countries of the Central Plains and Fenghao Wangji all have 24 solar terms, but the Qi country has 30 solar terms a year.

According to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the spring of Qi country from the first month to the beginning of April, there are eight solar terms: earth qi hair, small mao, weather, righteous qi to, Qingming, the beginning of Mao, middle Mao, Xia Mao; In summer, from mid-April to the end of June, there are seven solar terms: Xiaoying, Absolute Breath, Zhongying, Zhongjue, Great Heat Solstice, Heat Stroke, and Little Summer End; Autumn from July to the beginning of October, there are eight solar terms: the period of wind solstice, small unitary, white dew, compound, the beginning of the front, the beginning of the unitary, the middle unitary, the lower unitary; Winter from the middle of October to the wax moon, there are seven solar terms: the beginning of the cold, the small elm, the middle cold, the middle elm, the cold solstice, the yin of the great cold, and the end of the great cold.

As a result, spring and autumn are more than three months and one decade, and summer and winter are two months and two decades respectively.

This division of festivals began at the beginning of the Western Zhou Dynasty. The old people said that this was because the Qi people were not good at farming at that time, and the first monarch Lu Wang, in order to tidy up the folk customs, carefully arranged the farming harvest and government decrees into 30 solar terms in order, so that the farmers had rules to follow, and the government supervised farming was also very convenient.

The most important time of the year is spring and autumn. In the spring, the earth is full of air, and the spring ploughing is ready; Xiao Mao, under the field to plough; In the weather, spring plowing is completed; Righteous anger, repair the portal courtyard; Qingming sacrifices to the ancestors; From the beginning to the middle and the bottom, the wedding time.

Autumn is coming, ready for collection; Xiaoyou, autumn harvest; Under the white dew, the autumn harvest is over; Compounding, grain chestnut warehousing; Before the beginning, pay taxes; The beginning of the middle and the bottom of the three units, the wedding time. At the beginning of the cold, the government was sentenced to prison, and the government and the opposition entered the winter period.

The government decrees are also divided according to the solar terms, and there are five policies per quarter.

Five policies in spring: compensate orphans, young and widows, pardon criminals, supervise the people to repair ditches and level roads, adjudicate land boundary disputes, and prohibit arbitrary hunting and hunting; Summer five politics: excavate ancient tombs to vent the yin of the ground, open vegetable cellars to dry, prohibit wearing hats and fans to follow nature, supervise vegetable planting, and renovate gardens; Five policies in autumn: prohibit people from gambling, prohibit gossip, urge the autumn harvest, repair the warehouse wall to fill the gaps and plug the leaks, and prepare for the winter; Winter Five Politics: Sentence and Prison, Care for the Old and Young, Sacrifice to Ancestors, Capture Female Thieves, and Prohibit Migration.

Although it is meticulous and difficult, it is also a long-term habit of government, and both the government and the common people feel at ease. The world says that the customs of the country are: "The Ming country has a different government, and the people are different customs, which are not as good as the world." In other words, the seasonal customs of Qi are a kind of "foreign government", which is not spread all over the world, but unique.

In the general trend of the Zhou Dynasty

Next, Qi is such a unique thirty solar terms, and it is really a bit maverick.

Only in this way, Wei Houhe did not follow the tradition of "autumn to last" as agreed in the Zhou room, and arranged his wedding date on the first day of marriage according to the solar terms of Qi State, and it was the first wedding day of the year. It's impossible for Uzhna's heart not to be pantothenic, but what can she do? No matter how favored he is, he is just a concubine, and it is not as simple as winning the hearts of the princes and his wife.

Mang Ergu naturally knew his sister's thoughts, but he couldn't focus on the husband and wife, he stood for a long time, and suddenly chanted: "No grass does not die, no wood does not wilt, Xi Xi Gu Feng, Weishan Cui Wei!" The clear voice was a little agitated and trembling: "If my sister can get a ***, Mangergu will not go in vain in this world, this life is enough!"

"Why did my brother say such an inauspicious remark?" Uzhna was a little flustered.

"Sister must know, if this matter fails, neither Weiguo nor Guzhu will have a place for my sister and brother."

"There is a sky-high price for doing great things, if you can't fulfill your wish, it's like cutting off your head!"

"Good!" Mang'ergu's young voice was a little hoarse: "If you can understand the defeat, things will be easy to do."

"How is my brother going to do it?" Uzhna was a little anxious.

"There is a sister guarding the city of Chaoge, and the younger brother will go to the lonely bamboo shop first, and when the male tiger comes, try to contact that Ji Boyan, if he agrees; If you don't want to......" Mang'ergu's eyes pierced, "Then only the sword will speak."

Urina took out an object from her bosom and handed it over: "This is the jade pendant of his brother Ji Zhongwen, I am afraid that you will have no evidence, bring this thing, with this evidence, he will believe what you say."

"Sister, don't worry." Mang Ergu took the jade pendant into his arms, got up and said solemnly: "If the lonely bamboo fails, my sister must not think of my brother, nor can I admit the relationship between you and my sister and brother, and all the blame will be borne by me!"

"Manggu!" Uzhna's heart sank: "You and my sister and brother are of the same heart, without you and without me!"

"Sister!" Mangu looked back and smiled, but his voice was like that of a girl: "I was born with a disability, and what I ask for is that my sister will have a smooth life, and there is nothing else to ask for...... Sister, do you know my heart ......" choked up as she spoke, and suddenly fell on the desk and cried bitterly.
