Listening to Zhang Ao calling herself, Zhao Meiren smiled, stepped forward, slowly knelt beside Liu Ji, reached out to take the gold leaf applique long-handled lacquer bucket handed by the palace people, scooped out a little mare's milk wine from the three-legged basin on the side, filled the jade in front of the emperor's case, and gently picked it up.

Liu Ji stared at her with good eyes and asked kindly,

"Your family is from Liaodong? How can you actually do a filthy knife dance? ”

Zhao Meiren replied,

"The ancestors of the concubine family lived in Jizi (jī) North Korea, or they had Dongyi blood, but the age is too old for anyone to say.

Later, after her grandmother died, her mother Zhao Yuan moved back to the land of Yan Zhao with her concubine.

Therefore, the mother of the concubine mentioned by King Fangcai is not a native of Handan. ”

"You listen to her voice, there is still a bit of Korean rhyme, and you haven't changed it yet, isn't it interesting?"

Zhang Ao introduced it with an ambiguous attitude, with some inexplicable positivity and encouragement.

Although Lu Yuan is dull, she is not stupid, seeing that the matter has come to this, her heart is filled with great sadness, but she has a sense of detachment, her soul seems to be pulled into the air by an invisible hand, and she examines everything that is happening in front of her without any emotion.

She calmed down and looked at Zhao Ji again, only to find that she was actually different from the beauties she was used to in her father's and husband's harem, and she had a different style-

Before this, Lu Yuan had seen the most beautiful woman in his life, probably Mrs. Qi, Qi Ji was gentle and charming, tender as water, as if her eyes were so weak that she couldn't lift them.

Her own mother, Lu Pheasant, is a real Peugeot, but she was born with a solemn appearance, not angry and self-imposing, with a pair of beautiful eyes that shine brightly, and seems to be able to understand people's hearts at all times, which makes people respect and fear.

And the Zhao beauty in front of her, under the backdrop of the dark dress, looks even more white and snowy, the corners of her mouth seem to be smiling, and the tone of her speech is a little stiff, but she has a clear look, her expression is serious and cute, and there is a distinct ethereal.

When Lu Yuan married Handan for a long time, he had repeatedly met this Zhao beauty in the harem, but he never really paid attention to her who was taciturn, humble and respectful, and only knew that she was one of Zhang Ao's many beautiful concubines.

But right now, she looked at Zhao Meiren's white and slender neck, a little regretful, and somehow, suddenly thought of the crane that glanced at her skirt just now-

Such a weak and solemn spiritual creature was firmly nailed to death by the golden thread of fate, and its wings were born, but it could no longer dance freely in the snow.

"It's kind of interesting,"

Liu Ji didn't reach out to pick up the jade wedge, but took a sip of wine from Zhao Meiren's hand, smacked his lips and said,

"What kind of basket is that, it's from the Shang Dynasty, right? Is it the son of the king of Shang?

Is he a sage? ”

When he asked this, his eyes were looking at the banquet, and Chen Ping saw that everyone was silent, so he smiled and reminded euphemistically,

"Your Majesty, Jizi is actually the uncle of King Xu.

Confucius once said that although the end of Yin declined, and the government was obscure, there was still a 'three benevolence' like Beidou guiding the way.

These three great benevolences are Taishi Bigan, the eldest brother of the king of Xu, Wei Ziqi, and one other, which is Jizi. ”

Shang had no way, his uncle Bigan was killed after failing to give a death advice, his brother Weizi ran away, and Jizi pretended to be crazy and stupid, and was imprisoned.

Later, after King Wu of Zhou destroyed the Shang Dynasty, he released Jizi from prison and wanted to entrust him with important tasks, but Jizi Lisuke did not want to be a minister in the new dynasty, so he fled to Korea in the east and established Jizi Joseon.

Thirteen years after the founding of the Joseon Dynasty, Jizi was invited to return to Middle-earth, make a pilgrimage to King Wu of Zhou, and write "Hong Fan", sit down with King Wu Ji Fa and discuss the Tao, telling the truth of governing the country and securing the people.

Zhou Tianzi felt greatly, so he officially gave him North Korea, built the Marquis of the Ji clan, and the Zhou Chamber.

"Oh, is it the uncle of the King of the Rings?

Haha, you see me, I don't like to read on weekdays, but I'm easy to make jokes.

He has fought the world since he was on the horse, but he can no longer rule the world on the horse. ”

Liu Ji scratched his head and laughed at himself, but no one present dared to laugh, he asked again,

"Since it is a country built by the descendants of the Shang Dynasty, then Jizi Korea also speaks Chinese every day?"

"Not only speaking Chinese, speaking of which, North Korea is actually similar to South Vietnam under the rule of Zhao Tuo, although the folk have local dialects, but the official documents of the government and the court, as soon as Chinese characters are used, the official system is also similar to ours.

According to legend, Jizi brought a total of 5,000 people to the east that year, including poetry, calligraphy, rituals, music, witches, medicine, divination, Zheng and other hundred skills, all from which they entered the court, in order to change the customs of the knot and become the state of Qilu. ”

Zhang Cangwei told the story, as if he was preaching and solving doubts, everyone present was engrossed, and even the members of Zhao Guo listened to it with relish.

Although they face North Korea across the sea, when it comes to the history of North Korea, they are far less comfortable than Prime Minister Chang Cheng.

Seeing that everyone listened interestingly, Zhang Cang owed a little money, and added,

"He reigned for a total of 40 years and died at the age of 93, and is recognized as the ancestor of the Koreans and the king of their education.

His status in the hearts of the Koreans is similar to our King Wen of Zhou and King Wu of Zhou, and is often compared to Xi and Xuanyuan, Yao Shunyu soup.

The throne of Jizi has been passed down to the forty-first generation, and the current king of North Korea is named Jijun, who is also a virtuous monarch, taking in countless people in the Central Plains and ruling the people's livelihood and happiness. ”

In the last years of the Warring States period, the people were scattered to avoid chaos, and Korea on the peninsula was like a peaceful shelter, accommodating countless exiles from Yan, Zhao, Qi and other countries.

Keizun was very satisfied with the increase in population, and deliberately divided a large area of land to the west, specifically to accept the displaced people of Middle-earth for farming.

Everyone sighed for a while, the sage Jizi was forced by the situation and had to move to the side, but it nourished another paradise that imitated China.

***

Seeing that everyone was imagining, Zhang Ao urged the palace people to pour wine for everyone at the banquet, and told Zhao Meiren to persuade His Majesty to drink a few more glasses.

Early the next morning, because the emperor was here, the people in the personal palace urged Lu Yuan to get up and dress up and prepare to serve Liu Ji with Pingdan food since the fourth watch.

During the Qin and Han dynasties, the emperor had four eclipses a day, which were Pingdan eclipse, day eclipse, morning eclipse and twilight eclipse, and Pingdan food was eaten at the beginning of Shaoyang, that is, before the sun rose, so as to highlight the emperor's style of being in the center and controlling the Quartet.

Lu Yuan was dressed neatly, and when he hurried to the outside of Liu Ji's dormitory, he happened to see Zhang Ao also waiting under the corridor.

In recent days, he has been coordinating military salaries and the transit of the army with his ministers, and he is busy in the forbidden period every day, and the couple rarely get together.

At this moment, seeing him wandering anxiously in the glimmer of dawn, Lu Yuan's heart moved, and he blurted out,

"Zhao Meiren, is it also in there?"

Zhang Ao glanced at her, nodded, and motioned for her to speak softer.

It can be regarded as expected, the corners of Lu Yuan's mouth moved, and he snorted,

"It's really hard to arrange it for you."

As soon as these words came out, she herself was stunned.

She had always regarded her husband as a hero, and she never imagined that one day she would speak to him in such a mocking and contemptuous tone.
