Volume III Chapter 17 The Marriage Law of the Yue Kingdom by Being Awarded the Title of General of the Chinese Army
Three days passed, Luo Changfeng also completed the finishing of the swordsmanship, and early on the morning of the fourth day, Luo Changfeng asked Qing's mother and A Qing to wait at home, and he went to Fan Li's doctor's mansion.
When he arrived at the doctor's house, he found that Fan Li was personally waiting in front of the door, and he couldn't help but praise Fan Li's corporal Lixian.
"Doctor Lao Fan has been waiting for a long time, and the wind is terrified. ”
Fan Li stepped forward affectionately to hold Luo Changfeng's hand, and said with a smile: "Brother Changfeng, what are you talking about? It should be, hehe, after the king got my report, he has long been looking forward to Brother Changfeng going to the palace, let's go to the palace!"
Luo Changfeng had no objection, Fan Li ordered the servants to come to the carriage, and the two got into the carriage and went to the Yue Palace.
After a while, the carriage arrived at the Yue Palace, the palace in the Spring and Autumn Period, paying attention to a "high platform pavilion", that is, when building the palace, a high platform should be built below as a pedestal.
The rulers of the Spring and Autumn period countries compared with each other, chased pleasures, and "raised the pavilion and the beautiful palace room, and were proud of it".
Jin Ling Gong built a nine-story platform, the project is huge, although a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, but still three years can not be completed.
The "Zhanghua Terrace" built by the State of Chu, after the construction of the King of Chu ascended the stage, and he rested three times before reaching the palace at the top of the platform.
Wu Wangfu sent to build 300 zhang high Gusu Terrace, there are Guanwa Palace, Chunxiao Palace, Hailing Pavilion, surrounded by layers of corridors, magnificent and extraordinary, Fan Li's beloved Xi Shi, was placed in the Guanwa Palace of Gusutai.
The pavilion was built higher and higher, so that King Wei Xiang wanted to build a "middle rooftop" as high as "half the height of the sky".
However, Goujian's palace, although it also built a high platform, is not as exaggerated as the above, and it is only more than ten meters high.
Fan Li personally led the way, since the road was smooth, to the outside of the main hall, only to see both sides of the main hall, each stood more than a dozen brocade swordsmen, all of them were calm, showing that they were the elite guards of the Yue Palace.
Entering the main hall, Luo Changfeng saw at a glance the north head of the main hall, sitting in the brocade chair Gou Jian, but the chair at that time was not called a chair, it was called a "bed".
Gou Jian is wearing a purple robe, with a clumsy appearance, a very long head and neck, and a pointed beak like a bird, which is exactly what Fan Li described him as recorded in the history books: a long-necked bird beak.
Fan Li took Luo Changfeng and walked to Gou Jian, Zhang Yuwai stood still, hugged his fists and bowed and said, "King, Your Majesty is here with Changfeng." ”
Luo Changfeng also clenched his fists and said, "Grass people Luo Changfeng, see the king." ”
Gou Jian stood up, walked up to him, and asked with a smile: "You are the strong man who said 'Three Thousand Yuejia can swallow Wu'?"
Luo Changfeng got up, looked at Gou Jian calmly, and said, "This is indeed what the grass people said. ”
"Good. Gou Jian shouted, looked at Luo Changfeng with burning eyes, and said, "Listen to Doctor Fan, your swordsmanship is so high that it is rare in the world, can you show one or two for the widow?"
Luo Changfeng said: "Why not? But I don't know how the king wants the grass people to show it?"
Gou Jian looked out the door and shouted, "Someone." ”
The thirty swordsmen standing quietly outside the door immediately poured into the hall, standing separately, Gou Jian turned around and returned to his seat, Fan Li stood beside him, Gou Jian shouted: "Come out and compare swords with this strong man, and bring a sword to the strong man." ”
"Yes, strong man, please. ”
Immediately, a brocade-shirted swordsman sent a long sword, Luo Changfeng took the long sword, held it in his hand at will, walked out of a brocade-clothed swordsman from the east, pulled out the long sword, and said to Luo Changfeng: "Please teach the strong man." ”
Luo Changfeng turned his head to look at him, and then said to Gou Jian: "The king still orders everyone to go together! If you don't have the ability to fight a hundred, what face do the grass people have to be their leader?"
Gou Jian was overjoyed when he heard this, and waved his hand: "In this case, you will compete with Changfeng together." ”
"Yes. ”
Thirty brocade-clothed swordsmen shouted in unison, and they all drew their swords out of their sheaths, surrounding Luo Changfeng in the middle.
Luo Changfeng was still holding the long sword casually, standing with a nonchalant step, and said indifferently: "Are you ready?"
"Please advise. The swordsman who seemed to be the leader shouted.
"Good. ”
As soon as Luo Changfeng's words fell, his body suddenly moved, turned into a phantom, and rushed into the group of brocade-clothed swordsmen like a whirlwind.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Hmm......"
"Uh......"
"When the ......"
Gou Jian only heard a continuous sound of slapping, the sound was as dense as rain hitting plantains, and the muffled snorts and painful cries of the brocade-clothed swordsmen also sounded, and finally the sound of the long sword falling to the ground.
After two breaths, less than three breaths, Luo Changfeng returned to the same place, and the thirty brocade-shirted swordsmen, all of whom had fallen to the ground, all covered the backs of their hands, and stood on the ground looking at each other with stunned expressions, their eyes full of horror.
"Good. Fan Li couldn't help but praise loudly.
Gou Jian even got up, trembling with excitement, "Divine Sword, it is really Divine Sword." ”
Fan Li hugged his fist to Gou Jian and said: "Congratulations to the king, with Changfeng's swordsmanship, I will break through the Wu period of the country, and it will be just around the corner." ”
"Hahahaha...... Rejoice and rejoice. Gou Jian laughed and patted Fan Li's shoulder heavily, then looked at Luo Changfeng, and said loudly: "Luo Changfeng listens to the seal." ”
"The grass people are here. Luo Changfeng clenched his fists and bowed.
"The widow named you the head of the swordsmen of the Yue Kingdom, and concurrently served as the swordsman 'Zhongjun General', commanding the five thousand swordsmen of my Yue Kingdom, giving you a hundred catties of gold, and establishing the General's Mansion. ”
"The last general Xie Dawang was rewarded. ”
Thirty brocade-clothed swordsmen got Fan Li's signal, and they all knelt down to Luo Changfeng with their fists and one knee, and shouted in unison: "Subordinates see the general." ”
Luo Changfeng glanced at the swordsmen and said, "Everyone, please get up." ”
"General Xie. ”
Luo Changfeng looked at Gou Jian and said, "Your Majesty, there will be a request at the end." ”
In Gou Jian's eyes, Luo Changfeng has been regarded as the key to breaking Wu, and now Gou Jian is obedient to him, "You say it." ”
Luo Changfeng said: "I hope that the king will allow the last general to teach swordsmanship outside the West City." ”
Gou Jian Daqi said, "Oh?
The expression on Luo Changfeng's face softened a little, and he said, "Because Ah Qing has to go there every day to shepherd sheep." ”
"Ah Qing?" Gou Jian was stunned and looked at Fan Li, but heard Fan Li smile and said: "King, Ah Qing is the girl who fought with the white ape and comprehended the peerless swordsmanship, and she is also the ...... of Changfeng."
Gou Jian was surprised, and laughed: "I see, the widow is approved." ”
"King Xie. ”
......
On the way out of the palace, Fan Li smiled at Luo Changfeng and said: "Changfeng, your marriage with A Qing should also be on the agenda, right?
Luo Changfeng was stunned, and hurriedly asked, after Fan Li's explanation, Luo Changfeng knew that there was such a decree in Yueguo.
After Gou Jian returned from Wu, he issued a decree that a woman must marry when she reaches the age of seventeen, and a man who reaches the age of twenty must also marry a wife, otherwise the parents of the family will be guilty.
Note: According to the historical records, Goujian, the king of Yue, was defeated and his teeth were reduced, so he ordered the strong not to marry old wives and the old not to marry young women; women did not marry seventeen and men did not marry twenty, and their parents were guilty; pregnant women gave birth to a dog (hunting dog) with a pot of wine, and gave birth to a girl with a pot of wine and a dolphin (pig); gave birth to three sons, two of which were raised by the official, and two sons were given to one of them.
