Chapter 832
"The third is awake? The father is ill. Seeing that he is about to set up a prince, he is awake?"
"Damn it, if the second son didn't compete with me, the crown prince would have been settled long ago. How could it be so!"
A banquet is being held in a mansion far more luxurious than the Longevity Palace.
In the middle of the wide hall, the dancers danced, the music slaves beat a sweet rhythm on the bells and drums on both sides, and the graceful maid brought rich wine and food one by one.
The food utensils of the Shang Dynasty already had bowls and dishes. In addition to bronze, there were also jade, lacquer and white pottery. However, bronze was the most exquisite. The latter ones were slightly rough, and the workmanship was not enough.
So bronze is the instrument for holding staple food. At the moment, on the main table, there is a small copper tripod. The lower layer of the tripod belly is burning red charcoal fire. Curls of smoke are floating from the hollowed out smoke holes around, and the water in the tripod belly has boiled.
This is Dingshi.
In terms of food records, the Xia Dynasty was too far away and there were too few materials. The most famous food in the Shang and Zhou Dynasties was Dingshi. First, the meat was cooked in the Ding, and then the waiter took it out of the Ding, dipped it in various spices and served it to the emperor and ministers.
At first glance, it sounds a bit like hot pot. In fact, it is. At the moment, two maids hold a wooden sheath, clip out pieces of fresh and tender meat, put them into a small dish full of seasoning, respectfully present chopsticks, and take good care of them.
Weiziqi took the chopsticks and put the seasoned meat into his mouth. It was layered and tasted very good, but he was like chewing wax.
Emperor B has three sons, the eldest son Qi, the second son Yan and the youngest son Xin.
Among them, Wei Ziqi and young son Xin are close brothers of the same father and mother. It is right that the crown prince should be the eldest son.
But that's not the case.
Because when their mother was a concubine, she gave birth to Weiziqi. Later, she was righted as Queen and gave birth to her young son Xin.
According to the etiquette and law, Weiziqi was the son of the concubine's room. He was born from a concubine, and his youngest son Xin was the legitimate son. Later, he was granted the king of longevity.
On this point, the court is divided into two factions. One believes that Weizi Qi is old and stable and should inherit Dabao. The other is a firm supporter of etiquette and law. Moreover, although King Shou is young, he is born with divine power. In this era of advocating force, it is really easy to win the favor of military generals.
It is precisely because there are many ministers who support King Shou that he can marry the Jiang family. After all, Dongbo Hou is the first of the 800 princes. Only with his legitimate daughter as the main room can he be qualified to be a mother in the world in the future.
At that time, Weizi Qidu was close to giving up. Unexpectedly, on the day of the wedding, heaven and earth lost color, and the king of longevity fainted to the ground. This halo was seven years.
In the first few years, the ministers often visited him in the hope that he would wake up. As a result, the grand master was helpless and gradually kept silent.
But just when Weiziqi thought that there was only one choice left for him, weiziyan, who had been in the same boat with him, suddenly attracted the ministers and showed his intention of fighting for the dragon.
Everyone is a concubine. Why can't he fight?
The most important thing is that emperor B's mind is unpredictable, and the crown prince's position is pending.
However, since the beginning of the year, Emperor B has fallen ill and his body is getting worse and worse. He feels that the deadline is coming. He has the intention of establishing a reserve. When he is ecstatic, he didn't expect to hear another thunderbolt like news——
Shouwang wakes up!
Normally speaking, a prince sleeps for seven years and does not involve government affairs. He should not compete for the power of the prince, but the power of etiquette and law orthodoxy is unimaginable.
Just yesterday, more than ten officials, including Prime Minister Shang Rong, Doctor Mei Bo and doctor Zhao Qi, went to the capital to ask for the establishment of the east palace.
The neutrino was so angry that he couldn't sleep all night.
This feeling of giving hope and then strangling it is too bad.
"Report! The second prince is here!"
I was eating the hot pot tastelessly. A notice came from the door that the neutrinos had arrived.
The tiny son snorted angrily, but he was not rude. He stood up and saw a thin man coming from the outside: "brother Wang!"
Wei Ziqi sneered and said, "do you still have my brother Wang in your eyes?"
Wei Ziyan bowed down and gave a big gift: "my brother was instigated by villains. He was confused for a moment and competed for the throne with brother Wang. It's really beyond his power. I hope brother Wang will forgive his sin!"
Wei Ziqi ate soft rather than hard. Seeing that his brother was so servile and his face was a little slow, he sneered: "I'm afraid you didn't wake up until the third brother woke up?"
Wei Zi Yan said softly. He didn't want to get up. He sat down on the seat and looked at the six tripods in front of Wei Zi's table: "among the royal family, only uncle Bigan's father promised to enjoy the seven tripods, but brother Wang was only one step away from the nine tripods. It's a pity..."
Dingshi is strictly divided. Emperors enjoy nine tripods, followed by princes and royal families, up to seven tripods, and officials again, up to five tripods. If there is any violation, it will be rebellion, and the food in various Tripods is also exquisite.
Weiziqi was very particular about food. Hearing the haze in his eyes, he heard weiziyan say: "the third man has always been domineering and has no respect for you and me. Once he ascends the throne and doesn't find a barren fief, he will be sent off. Brother Wang may not even enjoy the six tripods at that time!"
The micro Zi opened his chest and said angrily, "you don't have to provoke me anymore. What's your move? Listen!"
Wei Ziyan said, "brother Wang, have you ever heard that Huang is choosing a son-in-law for his daughter?"
"Huang Shi?" Wei Zi was stunned, and his tone was very solemn: "Huang Feihu's sister?"
The seven generations of the Huang family were loyal and good. They held a high position in the Shang Dynasty. Huang Feihu's father, Huang Gung, was a famous town marshal who resisted the invasion of Dongyi. Huang Feihu was excellent in both literature and martial arts, and the commander was unparalleled. He was granted the title of king of the town. In comparison, Wen Zhongjing's channel method was inferior to Huang Feihu in terms of military unification strategy.
Such a family, if it can be won, is simply the biggest help. Weiziqi has been in contact with Huang family before. However, most of these aristocratic families will not participate in the dispute of seizing legitimate rights, and Huang family is no exception.
But now I have to remind weiziyan that he can't react. Huang's marriage is the best opportunity!
As soon as he clapped his hand, his fighting spirit soared: "compared with the 800 princes, my father still trusts the Huang family more. Didn't the third marry the daughter of Dongbo Hou? Then Gu will marry the sister of Wu Chengwang!"
……
……
At the same time, King Shou's residence.
After sending off another minister who came to visit, Jiang returned to the courtyard and saw Gu Chengzheng writing.
She knew that her husband had been writing a book these days, a Book of strategists.
In this era, there are few special works, and basically all recorded are national events, of which the information related to divination is the most. Because the writing methods of Oracle and Zhong Dingwen are controlled in the high-level, even if there are stories among the people, they are passed down from mouth to mouth and will not be passed down in written form.
If it is said that the most influential chapters in later generations are some chapters included in the book of songs, and there are still doubts. What Gu Cheng did is really difficult for Jiang to understand. He just looked at Gu Cheng's actions, and every stroke is of great importance, as if there was a force in the dark to prevent him from writing.
Gu Cheng was so absorbed that Jiang didn't dare to disturb him, so he accompanied him silently.
It was not easy to write a bamboo slip. Seeing Gu Cheng's sigh of relief, Jiang offered tea and whispered, "husband, do we really do nothing?"
In this era, feelings are cultivated after marriage. Since seeing the husband, he began to take care of him. It is impossible to say that Jiang has no hidden resentment.
But these days together, let her have a kind of unprecedented satisfaction, everything has been made up.
Unfortunately, when Mingming was around him, he sometimes felt that the distance was even farther than the sky and the earth. He couldn't guess what was thinking in his heart.
Ten ministers in the court are making a speech to Emperor B to make king shou the crown prince. At this time, they should come forward to echo the ministers and strengthen their confidence.
As a result, Gu Cheng did nothing and stayed in the mansion to write. Was he really not interested in the throne of the emperor?
However, the struggle in the world is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Jiang's family is not ambitious. He insists that his husband be the emperor and sit on the Queen's throne. He knows that it is extremely dangerous for the legitimate people to compete for the dragon. Once Weizi Qi or Weizi Yan ascends the throne, will he let go of his legitimate son Shouwang?
At that time, I'm afraid I won't give it to a barren fief!
At this time, Gu Cheng patted her slightly cold catkin and said with a smile: "madam, don't worry. It's who it should be. Some things can't be forced. We'll steal a floating life in the mansion. After a few months, you can see it again!"
