Chapter 2 The Four Nobles Are Sealed
The clans and ministers followed behind An Guojun, accompanied by the hearse across the Weishui Bridge, passing in front of Ganquan Palace and Zhangtai Palace, and the Queen Mother and the King of Qin both sent people to pay homage.
From the side of the palace to the east, cross the Baqiao, you will enter Lishan, in a feng shui treasure land, it took half a year to dig the tomb. After crossing the Baqiao, because it was getting late, the procession to send the spirit stopped to rest. The ministers, who had been looking for a resting place in the neighboring province a few days earlier, now went to their respective places.
Zhang Lu is the busiest. Not only does he have to take care of the procession of sending the spirits, but he also maintains law and order in Xianyang - the public has come out for the funeral, which may give the outlaws an opportunity to take advantage of. Zheng Anping, Chen Si, and Mang Wei were all assigned to work, and each of them was responsible for a share. Gai Nie was also called back and followed Zhang Lu as a military envoy.
Being in the wilderness, even Zhang Lu and An Guojun could only find a small courtyard to live in. The main room lives in An Guojun, and in the wing room are An Guojun's family members and servants. Zhang Lu can only live in the school. Unlike An Guojun's family and ministers, Zhang Lu did not have a single servant, only Zheng Anping and four others.
Looking at the hot and busy living life in the upper room, Zheng Anping said: "The lord should also accept retainers, keep servants, and gather women to become a noble family." β
Zhang Lu said: "I have the intention of watching you, but you can do it first, for my forward." β
Zheng Anping said: "The minister is too gentleman, and it is rude." May the public be the first! β
Zhang Lu waved his hand and said, "And everyone says what he sees." "Bring the conversation back to work.
After listening to everyone's reports, Zhang Lu went out to inspect everywhere and exchanged greetings with the ministers. Among the ministers, whether they have opinions or not, they have to deal with a few words when they meet.
The next day, the funeral procession arrived at the cemetery at noon, where a spectacular cemetery had been built, and all kinds of sacrificial buildings in the park were complete. After a solemn ceremony, the prince's coffin was carried into the tomb. The sacrifices offered by the king and the queen mother, officials at all levels, and princes from all sides, as well as the daily necessities of the prince during his lifetime, were also ceremoniously put in. Terracotta figurines and horse figurines are placed in the tomb. In the end, the funeral procession started to fill in the soil and seal the tomb. Subsequently, the funeral procession, led by Feng Chang and Zongzheng, withdrew one after another.
The prince had no children, and An Guojun, as the prince's own brother, stayed in front of the tomb and waited for the night. Subsequently, Yu Tu's son Yiren will mourn for a year on behalf of An Guojun.
With the burial of the crown prince, the state funeral came to an end. And with it, it was the New Year of Qin. There is also a big event in the New Year. After the prince of Chu married the daughter of the prince of Qin, the king of Chu also married his daughter to the prince of Qin, and obtained the consent of the king of Qin. It's just that because Prince Qin is hostage, this marriage has not been completed. Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the year, the prince suffered an accident. While sending people to mourn, the king of Chu also discussed with the king of Qin to remarry the princess to An Guojun, which was also agreed by the king of Qin. Since the wedding date has been delayed for several years, it cannot be postponed any longer, so it is set for the New Year of the Qin State.
So just after the prince's funeral, An Guojun's wedding will begin to prepare. Not surprisingly, this work is still in charge of General Zhang Lu, headed by Fengchang and Shaofu.
The confessor Wang Ji was sent to Nanyang County, and together with the Nanyang County Guard, he welcomed the princess of Chu into Xianyang. He was accompanied by Zheng Anping's nameless disciple and An Guojun's eldest son Ziqi. The reason why the sister-in-law is not sent is naturally because the status of the mother-in-law has declined: if the son born by another woman is a son-in-law, how can the son of the princess be counted? If you send the eldest son, it will naturally mean that all your sons can only be regarded as concubines. - This is very different from the meaning of the third son when the reception of the joke is dry. Don't look at it as just sending a son, which one to choose is all carefully weighed and approved by the highest level, and the slightest mistake will affect the future direction of relations between the two countries.
Xianyang City has just taken off his mourning clothes and is about to change into wedding clothes. Feng Chang was still a little unable to turn around, and Zhang Lu advised: "It's a matter of the national body, and it can't be taken lightly." Be courteous. The prince of Chu is in Xianyang, and the left disciple will be plugged in his mouth. "With these two requirements: not only to be courteous, but also to the mouth of the Chu people, Fengchang can only be spirited and operated. All the expenses required for the wedding are paid from the Shaofu. Feng Chang also went in and out of the palace of the prince of Chu from time to time, and asked Huang Xie for specific matters, so as to say that the people of Chu were in charge.
The princess of Qin has already given birth to a son, and the queen mother is too baby. During a play with a baby, the Queen Mother suddenly had heartache, and she couldn't afford to be sick, and she also added phlegm and asthma.
Hou and Hua Yangjun also love this little baby very much, and invite them to play in the house from time to time. The marquis loved the house and Wu, and he also looked at the prince a lot, and even taught him the art of vomiting. The prince turned out to be very savvy in this regard, and for more than half a year, he entered the country very quickly.
The Queen Mother had long known that An Guojun was going to marry the daughter of the prince of Chu. After the prince's funeral was over, he called King Qin, Sigui and An Guojun together to discuss the wedding. The Queen Mother said: "The daughter of Chu was originally married to the prince, but it was postponed for some reason. Since the daughter has returned to her husband's house, it is not advisable to be absent for a long time, but she should welcome her early, so as not to be in suspense. "Everyone praises it.
The Queen Mother said: "Although I am old, I still have to be accompanied by an ugly husband, and my heart is very happy." After I am old, you will wait and treat him well. And everyone said yes.
The Queen Mother said: "My seventy years are like this, but what is the matter?" The crowd didn't know how to answer, so they had to say it again.
The Queen Mother said: "At that time, I returned from Chu to Qin, and my heart was worried. inherited the favor of the king and had many children. Later, he became the king of Yiqu and gave birth to two sons. I am proud of my life, and all my children have built temples, and they are a man of the world. The death of King Wu, Xianyang was in turmoil, and the ministers served the king in Yan, stood abroad, and were not allowed to worship in the temple. At that time, my heart was burning and I didn't know where to go. Fortunately, thanks to the cooperation of all the ministers, the chaos was peaceful. For a long time, Qin fought with the princes repeatedly, killing and wounding many people, but there was no merit of an inch of land, but in the Song Dynasty, he was alone. This is the case with the national fortune, and it is beyond the power of manpower. How can it mean that Tianqi Wu Qin: Chu went out of Huainan with a large army, Qin took Chu Wan in a battle, and then fought to take Chu Ying, and won the two counties in one fell swoop. Today, the Marquis and Huayangjun are all old and have nothing to do. can be raised in the country to the best of his life. Don't take your children's affairs seriously. β
Both the Marquis and the Emperor of Huayang should respond.
The Queen Mother said: "Brother Zuo Wang is also twenty years old, more than half a hundred this year, exhausted and decrepit, and should also enjoy the blessings of children and grandchildren, and the unity of humanity." The king of Qin has no way to retreat, and he should also pay less to the state affairs, and pay it to the youth. β
Jingyangjun and Gao Lingjun are also chattering. King Qin said: "I will pay all the state affairs to Zhu and Zhang Qing, return to the palace, tune the piano, and play with the princes." β
The Queen Mother said: "This is very good. β
An Guojun said: "The Queen Mother's order must not be disobeyed." However, the ministers are incompetent, and it is difficult to deal with everything, and they all need the king's heart! β
The Queen Mother said: "Although the husband's state affairs are complicated and simple, the only thing that is important is to win souls." The power of the king of Qin is added to the world, and it is not what the king does, but it must be in the courtiers. At the beginning, there was a think tank, and the old minister Sima was wrong; There are Houhou, Xiangshou, Huayang Zhujun, and there are Wu'an, Zuo Geng, and Zhongchang again, and now Zhang Qing has to try it in Hedong, and it can be arbitrary. β
The marquis said: "The minister respectfully enlightens the king and the queen mother, and Zhang Qing's talent is covered in the world; It regards the world as the palm of his hand, and it is very human. However, the way of attack is inappropriate. In the past, Qin Dong went out of China, but he was blocked by Jin; And Jin De called, and the princes often gathered troops in Hangu. Although relying on the virtue of the ancestors and the power of the soldiers, Hangu is not lost, but it wastes money and food, and has no merit. Now Qin has pottery, potters, in the world, businessmen gather, wealth and goods gather, a move is the world is moving, this day so Qin also. The prince was confronted by it, and he died. ββHowever, Zhang Qing regarded it as nothing, and repeatedly said that Guangtao was the selfishness of his ministers. The minister invited the king and the queen mother to Mingjian, Tao is not the Tao of the minister, but the Tao of Qin. Tao is in Qin, like the two wheels of the car, the wings of the bird, and the lack of one is upside down. May the king observe it! β
King Qin pondered for a moment and said: "The widow will take Zhang Qing as the prime minister, and he is willing to return to Tao, rule it arbitrarily, enter or exit, or fight or peace, and the widow will not be with him, and he will listen to the marquis." What is it? β
The marquis said: "The minister went alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to get my way." β
King Qin said: "All the treasures of the Prime Minister's Mansion are in the pottery; The soldiers of the marquis all listened to it. It has deficiencies, but it is made up for by a small house, so what? β
The Queen Mother said: "What is lacking in the young mansion, the old woman should also make up for it." β
The marquis said: "The ministers should plan their strategies carefully to repay the king and the queen mother." β
The Queen Mother said: "I often supervise Ru Zixi, and I am willing to make more favors." Today, I don't use my muscles and bones as my energy. The concubines in the family, who have the ability to give birth to and raise them, are willing to give birth to them; The old man is willing to be raised. β
The marquis blushed again and said, "Oh! There are many ministers who are favored, and the order of the Queen Mother is also. If you are repatriated today, you should also follow the Queen Mother. β
The Queen Mother said: "The master and son will work diligently and reap the harvest." It seems that you have dropped out of the three or five times, what can you do? β
The marquis said: "If you dare to drop out, you can't do it!" β
The Queen Mother said: "It's still good! How can he stay with him night and night? Although you have a lot of pets, and the pillow is always open, can you still say it? Stop, stop, do it yourself, don't let go of other women. β
The marquis bowed his head and said nothing. Huayangjun interrupted and said: "The marquis is far away, and it is inconvenient for the girls, or they should come out." β
The Queen Mother said: "You should also return to the country, you and others should return to the country, not the Marquis!" β
Huayangjun asked, "Why?" β
The Queen Mother said: "You and the others all live in Xianyang, and the marquis is alone in Tao, and the princes will be suspicious." If thou art returned, it would be the king's favor, and surely the princes would be also. β
Huayang Jun said: "What the Queen Mother saw is also." β
The Queen Mother said: "Although I am old, there is still no reduction in the number of days between the pillows, but now the phlegm is very much, which is reduced." The same should be true of kings and princes! "Once again, everyone was squeezed into a state of speech.
Coming out of the Empress Dowager's palace, King Qin immediately ordered An Guojun to send Tao Shou and ordered him to build a mansion for the marquis. He also sent it to Nanyang County, ordering it to build a mansion for Jingyang Jun in the fief Wan and Gao Lingjun in the fief Deng Ying. Huayangjun's fiefdom New City is outside Luoyang City, which is the most difficult to build, and requires the use of diplomatic force. The king of Qin asked An Guojun to find Zhang Lu to do it.
Such a fanfare for Sigui to build a mansion in a fiefdom is tantamount to a political earthquake in Xianyang, and everyone knows that Sigui has lost his former power and will never return to the center of the stage.
