For the prince's wedding, the ceremony was well prepared. The couple worshiped the ancestral temple, prayed to heaven and earth, paid homage to the King of Chu, there was a big banquet in the palace, Shao music was played, and all the officials congratulated each other, creating a lively and joyful atmosphere.
During the wedding banquet, the King of Chu announced that the father of the city and the prince would become a city as the biggest gift for the marriage. The father of the city was located on the border of the Chu and Song Dynasties, with more than 30,000 people in the fiefdom, and 200 Chu army chariots stationed there.
It was a military center that deterred the states of Song, Zheng, Chen, and Cai.
The granting of a fiefdom here heralds the next arrangement for the prince.
It stands to reason that letting the prince go to the border to lead troops and gain experience was also the King of Chu's trust in him, and it was the only way for the prince to take over the throne in the future. However, the prince was always depressed and did not show any joy during the entire wedding ceremony.
shape.
In this regard, the prince's confidant Wu She asked the reason, and the prince replied: "My father's intention is to drive me away from the capital of Ying. Although I can't disobey, how can I be happy?"
Wu She persuaded him: "Although the prince is out of the center and leads troops outside, he is also responsible for guarding the borders. The king has no intention of alienation, so why are you worried?"
The prince sighed and couldn't bear it anymore: "Zhong Xingyin, the doctor of Jin Dynasty, sent someone to Ying to tell me something yesterday."
Wu She was silent for a moment. Seeing that he didn't speak, the prince said, "The prince thinks that Meng Ying... is she Meng Ying?"
Wu She carefully considered her words and said, "The prince is marrying Meng Ying. There is no other Meng Ying in this world."
The prince trembled and said, "Is what Zhong Xingyin said true?"
Wu She said: "Zhongxing is one of the six ministers of Jin. Jin does not want the marriage between Chu and Qin. The prince needs to be calm and aware of this at all times."
The prince hissed: "I'm just asking you if it's true?"
Wu She pondered and said: "The Bank of China is corrupt and bribery. The day before yesterday, it used this to ask for a large sum of money from me, but I refused. Could it be that the prince is guilty?"
"Fifty gold, how much is this? I've already paid!" The prince pointed at Wu She and said, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big event earlier? Are you still my tutor?"
Wu She looked at the prince calmly: "What does the prince want?"
The prince's veins popped out on his forehead, and he waved his fists: "I want it. I want it, I want it." In the end, he didn't say the reason.
Wu She sighed and said: "The king's order will be issued in three days to urge the prince to leave the city. The old minister advised the prince to accept the order happily and stop being suspicious. The prince's wife is Meng Ying, and no one else is Meng Ying."
Three days later, the king's order was indeed issued, and the prince left Yingdu with his newlywed wife. Wu She arranged for his eldest son Wu Shang to accompany the city father to assist the prince in managing the government and the army. His second son Wu Yuan also wanted to accompany him.
Wu She originally did not want both sons to go to the border, but Wu Yuan was very determined to go and asked about his intention. Wu Yuan admitted that he had a rift with Fei Hong, Fei's son, and really did not want to bow to him. Everyone was in Yingdu, and Fei Hong
Hong You is already a doctor, and he may be unhappy in the future. Instead of doing so, he would rather go to Chengfu. Moreover, when the prince goes to Chengfu to open a mansion, he already has the power to appoint and remove officials. The prince has promised the staff that he will go to Chengfu after he arrives.
For him to serve as the guest of the prince is regarded as being given the position of a high official. If he doesn't go now, when will he wait?
Wu She then let him go.
When the prince's chariot left Yingdu, Jian Jia, who had not been seen for many days, was allowed to leave the palace and appeared in the farewell procession. It was late autumn, and the ground in the North Pavilion outside the city was covered with fallen leaves. Jian Jia stepped on the fallen leaves and boarded the prince's chariot to pay tribute to the prince.
He poured wine to say goodbye.
After the prince finished drinking, he held the bamboo slip in his hand and shed tears: "I'm going to the city father, we are thousands of miles apart, and I don't know the year when I come back. My sister, please take care of me in Yingdu, and don't think of my brother."
Jian Jia was silent, filling herself up and drinking it all in one gulp.
The prince said again: "My sister, please remember not to disobey your father. Your father is the king, and you must not disobey the king's orders." As he said this, he laughed again: "You must not recite your king's orders, hahahaha!"
Jian Jia poured herself a cup and drank it all.
The prince also smiled: "Brother is not just talk. My sister, please remember not to leave the palace again. You will go to Jingyi all day long. You must know that Jing's family is not reliable! You villain, villain! Young Master Jingrui
Fu, if you don't want to give me advice, why would you avoid the son of an old friend when something happens? What kind of madness is this? Escape! They are evading! They already knew it!"
Jian Jia said softly: "Brother is drunk."
The prince sneered: "Am I drunk? Then let's be drunk! After being drunk, I can see more clearly! But you are better than me. You have Da Si Gong and Dou Huan Lie to protect you. If they notice something is wrong, they will immediately
You are not allowed to leave the palace. Unlike me, the Jing family, and the Wu family, they already knew something was wrong, but they refused to tell me what I wanted to know. Instead, they asked the foreign ministers to tell me, and they all coaxed me."
Jian Jia asked: "Did you notice anything wrong?"
The prince said: "Of course it's that Shen Yu! Jingrui thought that picking up a random lunatic would be enough to deceive others? The old friend Jingrui mentioned, the guy named Shen Sutu, is not dead at all! He miscalculated! Haha."
Jian Jia's expression immediately changed: "What are Da Sigong and Dou Mu going to do?"
The prince said: "What can be done? A madman with unknown origins has an acquaintance with the dignified princess of Chu. What do you think Da Sigong and Dou Mu are going to do? What can they do? A-mei-a-mei"
Jian Jia had already got out of the prince's car, and instead of getting into the car, she ran wildly on the street, rushing back to the palace like a gust of wind. Several guards quickly turned around to catch up with her, but they could not catch up with her.
Arriving in front of the palace gate, Jian Jia asked the gatekeeper loudly: "Where is Dou Mu? Where is Dou Mu?"
The gatekeeper bowed and said: "The fighting rings are lined up on the golden platform of the West Palace."
Jintai is where the palace guards are stationed. Jian Jia's heart trembled when he heard this and asked, "What did he do in Jintai?"
The goalkeeper replied: "I don't know the end."
Jian Jia asked again: "Where is Da Si Gong?"
The gatekeeper said: "I don't know the end."
Jian Jia entered the palace gate and went straight to the golden platform. She saw that the guards were practicing as usual and there was no sign of being mobilized. She felt relieved. After thinking about it, she realized that her thinking was wrong. If she wanted to capture Wu Sheng, why would she need to mobilize the palace guards?
guard?
Asked the leader of Jintai, he said: "Dou Huanlie did come to Jintai just now, ordered four guards and left."
Jian Jia's heart tightened, and in hesitation, she went straight to the Zhu Palace where the King of Chu lived.
The guards in front of Zhu Palace were about to stop them, but they were all kicked down by Jian Jia, unable to stop them. Jian Jia was followed by a group of guards, including Gong E, her own Qiuyuan guards, Jintai guards, Zhu Palace guards, and others.
There are many maids, all struggling to catch up.
The music was booming in King Chu's palace. Jian Jia ignored it and pushed the door open. She had only one thought in her mind. If her father didn't let Da Si Gong and Dou Mu stop, she would expose Meng Ying's identity!
After entering the dormitory, Jian Jia raised her eyes and saw her father holding a strange woman in his arms, watching a song and dance.
The first time she saw this strange woman, Jian Jia's heart sank to the bottom.
Sure enough, this woman is Meng Ying, and only this woman can be called the most beautiful woman in the Qin Kingdom.
