Wei Ziqi, who left early in the morning, knew nothing about what happened later in the Zhaoxuan Palace. He only knew that the three prince brothers did not know the importance of the matter, angered their father, were severely punished, and were likely to fall out of favor from now on. He couldn't help but feel happy.
Wei Ziyan drank together until late at night, and then left happily.
In the early morning of the next day, Wei Ziqi, Wei Ziyan and King Shou were summoned to Longde Hall to attend the court meeting. Wei Ziyan looked at the three prince brothers standing under him with a "haggard" look on his face, and couldn't help but show a look of color on his face, Wei Ziqi
He also smiled and said nothing. However, what happened next made the two of them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
As soon as the ministers had finished the ceremony, Prime Minister Shang Rong, Grand Master Wen Zhong, Shang Dafu Mei Bo, Zhao Qi and other important ministers came together to present the book and asked the emperor to establish him as the prince on the grounds that King Shou was the legitimate son of the Queen of the East Palace. They had always opposed the appointment of the prince.
Di Yi, who was hesitant about the matter, happily followed it without thinking about it today.
After Emperor Yi announced in public that he would establish King Shou as the crown prince, he ordered a formal enthronement ceremony to be held two months later, and all princes came to congratulate him. At the same time, he also decreed a marriage, and the young daughter of General Huang Gun of Wuwei was betrothed as his concubine.
To the prince, choose an auspicious day to get married. As soon as the imperial decree came out, Huang Gun, who had just expressed objections to the appointment of King Shou as the prince, suddenly became mute, his expression became extremely complicated, and in the end he could only thank the emperor honestly.
Wei Ziqi looked at everything that happened with despair, as if he had experienced a hellish nightmare. Although he didn't understand what happened in Zhaoxuan Hall after he and Wei Ziyan left last night, the cruel fact
It has already been put in front of him - whether in the battle for the heir to the throne or the ownership of the beauty, he has failed, and he has failed miserably.
Wei Ziyan, whose mood had reached rock bottom, followed the ministers in kneeling down and congratulated him mechanically. His expression was dull, as if he didn't know what to do.
After retiring from the court, Zhang Zixing followed Emperor Yi to the ancestral temple and performed some dizzying and cumbersome rituals before being released back to the mansion.
"Welcome to His Highness the Crown Prince!" As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Zixing saw Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Yang leading the crowd to salute and congratulate him. The two women had already received the news that he had been promoted to the crown prince.
"Two good wives, get up quickly." Zhang Zixing was in a good mood. He stepped forward to help the two smiling wives. When the servants did not dare to get up, he secretly kissed Jiang's elastic buttocks like a prank.
He touched it. Jiang Wenqiang didn't expect that he would dare to take advantage of her in such a public place. She almost screamed. Due to the large number of servants, she didn't dare to say anything, so she bit her lip and gave him a fierce look, which made Yang
Shi was snickering on the sidelines.
Everyone came to the Baiyuan Garden in the backyard, where there was a sumptuous banquet that had been prepared long ago. Many of the dishes were cooked by Jiang and Yang themselves.
"I would like to offer you a drink to Your Highness. Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince on your double happiness." Jiang Wenqiang raised her glass and walked up to him and said, "I heard that the Miss Huang family is beautiful, generous and virtuous. She will definitely become His Highness's wife."
Although Jiang Wenqiang had a sweet smile on her face, Zhang Zixing still heard a little bit of sourness in her tone. Even in the polygamous ancient times, even those women who were known as "virtuous, gentle and sensible" would not
Maybe from the bottom of his heart he wishes to have one more woman to share his husband with.
Zhang Zixing felt embarrassed and couldn't refuse, so he had to take it and drink it. Yang Jiu sighed softly and couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart: "In the future, Your Highness will probably have thousands of concubines, and we sisters will not even be able to see His Highness."
Difficult."
"Sister, please don't talk nonsense!" Mrs. Jiang knew that today was a big day, and was afraid that Zhang Zixing would be displeased, so she quickly said: "This is the beauty of the emperor's adult life. He specially granted the marriage, and the intention is very deep. It will be of great benefit to His Highness and not harmful. We
We should follow the example of Queen E and serve His Highness together. After the Huang family's sister comes over, we must get along well with her and not conflict with her. If His Highness becomes the emperor in the future, it will be normal for him to marry concubines and extend the bloodline of the Great Shang Dynasty. What about my sister?
ignore the general interest?"
Jiang Wenqiang is worthy of being the daughter of Dongbohou. She can see the benefits of marrying Huangmen at a glance. Her magnanimity and magnanimity are also extraordinary. No wonder she will be able to control the harem as a queen in the future and win the respect of all the concubines.
Yang Jiu is not a jealous person. He is also a concubine, so he is naturally accustomed to polygamy. He just expressed his feelings and nodded: "Sister is absolutely right. Jiu'er knows that she is wrong. Your Highness, please don't be upset."
Hearing Yang Jiu's apology, Zhang Zixing was full of emotions: Women in ancient times were indeed victims of polygamy, and they only knew how to submit. How could she actually do anything wrong? The fate of the Jiang family and the Yang family in the novel is very tragic.
The queen was framed by Daji and Fei Zhong for assassinating King Zhou and was tortured to death. Yang mourned her husband's ruthlessness and hanged herself to death. Zhang Zixing looked at the slightly frightened expressions of the sisters and secretly swore in her heart that she would never let them do this in the future.
This tragedy happened.
"Jiu'er, you and Wen Qiang are both my treasures, how can I bear to be annoyed?" When Mrs. Jiang and Mrs. Yang heard such sweet words, they felt reassured and couldn't help but blush. They heard him say again: "You two beloved wives don't have to worry about it."
Jealousy, who is my husband! How could he forget his true nature?"
Vinegar was already available in the Shang Dynasty, also known as vinegar. Yang said curiously: "Vinegar tastes very sour. My sister and I don't like eating it. Why did my husband say this?"
Zhang Zixing just remembered that the word "jealousy" originated in the Tang Dynasty in later generations. Naturally, the two women didn't know it, so he told them this story.
The famous Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty, Fang Xuanling, was highly valued by Taizong Li Shimin, but he was famous for being henpecked. One day, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty invited the founding father to a royal banquet. Fang Xuanling, who was drunk, could not stand the teasing of his colleagues and boasted that he was not afraid of his wife.
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty took advantage of his drunkenness to give Fang Xuanling two beauties. Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling's bragging after drinking was taken seriously by the emperor, so he had no choice but to accept the two beauties according to the order. Thinking of his overbearing and careful care of his wife, Fang Xuanling
She was so worried that she didn't know what to do. Yuchi Jingde cheered her up, saying that no matter how cruel his wife was, she would not dare to do anything to the beauties given by the emperor, so Fang Xuanling carefully took the two beauties home.
Unexpectedly, Fang Xuanling's wife didn't care so much. When she saw Fang Xuanling bringing back two beautiful young concubines, she became furious, yelled and cursed, and even fought with a feather duster. Seeing that something was wrong, Fang Xuanling had no choice but to kill her.
The beauty was sent out of the palace. After Li Shimin learned about it, he wanted to suppress the arrogance of the prime minister's wife, so he immediately summoned the prime minister Fang Xuanling and his wife to question her.
After the couple arrived, Tang Taizong pointed to the two beauties and a jar of "poisonous wine" and said that he gave Mrs. Fang a choice. One was to take the two beauties back to live together, the other was to drink the poisonous wine and return to the west for the crime of resisting the imperial edict. Fang
Xuan Ling knew that his wife had a fierce temperament, and was afraid that she would drink poisoned wine, so he knelt down and begged for mercy. Li Shimin said angrily: "As the prime minister of the dynasty, you have disobeyed orders and dare to say anything!"
When Mrs. Fang saw that the matter had come to this, she looked at the faces of the two girls and realized that she was old and frail. Once these two girls entered the house, she would sooner or later have to disobey orders. Instead of dying due to anger, it would be better to drink this poison.
The wine was very satisfying. Before Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty could urge him again, Mrs. Fang raised the poisonous wine jar and drank it all in one gulp. Fang Xuanling was so anxious that she burst into tears. She hugged his wife and sobbed, but all the officials laughed together. It turned out that the jar was not filled with poisonous wine.
The poisonous wine was vinegar from Jinyang Qingyuan, which was not poisonous at all. Tang Taizong sighed with emotion and withdrew his life. From then on, the word "jealousy" became synonymous with jealousy among women.
Zhang Zixing advanced the time of the story to the previous dynasty and slightly changed the names of the people. Jiang Wenqiang and Yang Jiu listened with rapt attention, and the final result made the two women smile.
"Don't worry, husband. Although I am not talented, I am not a jealous woman. I will do my best to mediate matters in the inner court in the future, so that my husband will not have to worry about it." Jiang Wenqiang said with certainty. In the days to come, this promise will be
Sure enough, it was reflected in her actions.
Zhang Zixing was moved for a moment and saw the two white rabbits squatting in the corner of the Baiyuan Garden. He felt something in his heart and said in a deep voice: "The white rabbits are running around here and there. Their clothes are not as good as new, and their people are not as good as before. Please be considerate, two good wives."
, no matter how many women I have in the future, Zixing (Zixin) will never let down the love between husband and wife."
The four lines of "White Rabbit" are from the "Ancient Song of Beauty" and "Ancient Song of Regret" in the Yuefu of the Later Han Dynasty. Although there are only a few numbers, they are full of sadness and can easily arouse resonance. Zhang Zixing can twist them with ease regardless of plagiarism or piracy.
The two girls had never heard such touching words. Empress Jiang chewed the meaning carefully and couldn't help but be fascinated for a moment. Mrs. Yang even shed tears.
The two girls suddenly exclaimed at the same time. It turned out that His Royal Highness the Prince actually ignored etiquette and picked up his two sisters in broad daylight and strode towards the palace in broad daylight - the legendary "Bright Day"
"Proclaiming obscenity"!
Soon after, the sound of moaning and groaning could not be stopped in the palace. Fortunately, the servants had wised up and left.
A few days later, Wucheng General Huang Feihu suddenly visited and invited His Highness the Crown Prince to go hunting in the eastern suburbs. Zhang Zixing had long been interested in meeting this future brother-in-law and King Wucheng of the country, and he readily agreed.
The two of them led a group of generals and galloped all the way to the eastern suburbs of Yunye.
"Your Highness's bravery is astonishing. He changed the support beams of Feiyun Pavilion and carried nine oxen in Xianqing Hall. It is unparalleled in the world." Huang Feihu slowed down his mount, bowed his hands to Zhang Zixing and said, "What Feihu didn't expect was that His Highness's riding skills
It’s so amazing that he can control a horse and gallop as if it’s on flat ground, which really puts the general to shame.”
At that time, cavalry had been widely used in warfare, which was slightly different from the historical chariots. In particular, the Western Xinjiang dog soldiers had the most powerful riding skills and were called the "horse nation", somewhat similar to the Huns of the Han Dynasty. (
After all, Pig’s Knuckle is reborn in a parallel space rather than a strict history)
"Haha! The general is honored. My highness only has some brute strength. How can he compare with the general's superior martial arts?" Zhang Zixing was naturally very happy to receive Huang Feihu's compliment. "Just now, I tried my best to run, but the general always kept his pace.
Following behind, I guess if the prince hadn’t taken the throne for himself, I would have been pulled away by the general.”
"Your Highness, why should you be so modest? The general just took advantage of this mount." Huang Feihu patted the five-color sacred cow under his seat. "This cow is an ancient exotic species. It is quite a sacred horse. It was accidentally used by the general and the grand master when they were fighting against rebellion.
Yes, you can travel thousands of miles every day without getting tired. On the other hand, your highness can control ordinary horses and drive them together, which is your true ability!"
Zhang Zixing shook his head, pointed to the object under him and said: "Actually, this is not my ability, but the wonderful use of this thing."
