Spring and Autumn I Am King

Thank you book friend Xiangrui 1 for the reward!

Liu Qing sorted out their appearance, got into the car with their own thoughts, and drove slowly towards the palace. They were authorized by the Marquis of Jin to be able to enter by car. As an envoy of Song, Le Qi also had this privilege, and the doctors had to follow the car to slow down. Walk slowly.

It was only then that Le Qi could see the real inside of this unparalleled palace.

I saw that the entire palace was facing south, with the front and the back sleeping, and the broad avenue paved with bluestone slabs led directly to the main hall.

On the front, the high platform made of stone foundations and rammed earth stood there unadorned, adding a lot of chill and majesty out of thin air. It was built in the era of Duke Miao of Jin, and it was full of high-spirited masculinity, like a martial artist dancing ten thousand dances.

On both sides of the avenue, there are large "high halls", and "curved houses" connected by twists and turns, not only "suiyu" deep and far away, but also small and exquisite "south houses", all of which are high eaves and flying corners. The tiledang with the cirrus pattern and the animal face pattern has pottery and stone sculptures of auspicious animals.

The high-rise buildings are connected by covered bridges, and the eaves and painted buildings tie the towers and pavilions together like a colorful exercise. Most of these buildings are newly built in the era of Jinpinggong. They are gorgeous and feminine, like the dance of Zheng Wei's women.

Le Qi heard that in the spring of the eighth year of Duke Ping of Jin, when the construction of the Xiqi Palace was under construction, there was a stone in Wei Yu in Jin State that actually spoke, and it was rumored for a while.

After hearing about it, Duke Ping of Jin asked the blind musician, Tai Fu Shikuang, "Why can Shishi speak?"

Shi Kuang replied: "The stone itself can't speak. The "Poem" says, "Sadly, you can't speak. The bandit's tongue is out, but the bow is stunned. You can speak, and you can speak eloquently, so that you can rest. The palace you built. It is tall and extravagant, and it violates the agricultural season. The people’s financial resources are exhausted, and the resentment and slander go straight to the sky, so there are foreign objects appearing, and the stone speaks, what’s so strange?”

And Uncle Xiang also predicted that the day when this palace was completed, when the vassals betrayed their relatives and left, the monarch would also suffer disasters.

Now that Le Qi has seen it with his own eyes, he knows that it is no wonder that Shi Kuang, Shu Xiang and others have repeatedly criticized Pinggong's behavior of building the Xiqi Palace, because the dominance of this palace has been completely lost, but instead is bound by the extravagant voice of Pu Shang. hands and feet.

What Le Qi has seen in Jin recently, the common people are leaving, and the official palace is becoming more and more lavish. In the end, "the people heard the public order, like escaping from pirates", Liu Qing took the opportunity to buy people's hearts, and the Marquis of Jin lost his power.

Liu Qinghe stopped and walked under the palace, and began to climb the steps in order of rank under the guidance of the ceremonial officials who wore leather jackets and held a jade guild. Le Qi saw that the towering hall was supported by copper bases and giant columns, with chariots and soldiers and various flags and ritual objects displayed in the middle.

Outside the hall, there are dozens of guards in black clothes from the Jin Kingdom standing upright to guard them. Wearing a crown on the vertebra, wearing a fine leather armor, holding a sparrow, holding a blessing, and standing inside the Bimen; there are more than ten people with Qibian, holding a ge and an upper blade, sandwiched between two steps.

It looks very mighty, but Le Qi has already learned from Zhao Yang that in this Xiqi Palace, there are even many guards who were temporarily borrowed by Guan Liuqing, the Marquis of Jin, to support the scene. In fact, they are all private soldiers...for decades Earlier, Jin Shuxiang said that the state of Jin "has no troops and horses, no officers, no officers, no officers, and no officers", which is not a lie.

Stepping into the hall door, I saw an axe-patterned screen inside. On both sides by the doors and windows, there was a double-layered wan seat for the doctor to kneel on. The case is furnished with colored jade and lacquerware.

According to the rumors about the "trend," the officials of the ceremony, the six ministers of the Jin state and the doctors held the jade-guidance and marched forward in an orderly and orderly manner.

In the sound of bells and drums, the monarch, who had lived in the deep palace for a long time, was finally surrounded by his servants and approached the court from the side hall.

I saw the young Marquis of Jin wearing Gun's clothes, a crown, decorated with nine chapters, riding on a Mo Yu, and the vertical temple behind the Yu was holding a banner decorated with crossed dragons.

After being seated, the Marquis of Jin's gaze swept across the front row of Jin Qing Fan Yang, Zhao Yang, Song envoy Le Qi through the "Mian Yan" compiled by Zhuyu, and finally stopped at Shangjun Zuo Zhisong. body.

The two rulers and ministers looked at each other, and Zhisong nodded slightly to the Marquis of Jin without noticing.

The Marquis of Jin knew it in his heart and knew that everything should be done according to the agreement, so he waved his hand and ordered the musicians to play the bell drum music and play Huang Zhong Da Lu.

"In the Muqing Temple, Su Yong shows the appearance. Make money for the toasts, and uphold the virtue of the text!" The performance is exactly "Zhou Song. Qing Temple".

The Great Ceremony of the Winter Solstice has officially begun...

After Le Bi, the officials and officials called for the Marquis of Jin to celebrate his birthday.

And Le Qi, holding the jade Guigui that the ceremonial official gave him to wrap silk silk, took a step forward and played in a loud voice: "Le Qi, a foreign minister of the Song state, has come to meet Jin on the order of the widow monarch. Hou!"

The officials and officials were all waiting for the Marquis of Jin to ask and answer questions from Le Qi according to etiquette, and to greet Duke Song and the Crown Prince of Song who were safe and sound.

However, the Marquis of Jin said nothing.

Le Qi raised his head in surprise and stood in the center of the hall so awkwardly.

And Zhong Xingyin looked at his embarrassed and lonely figure, and the jade Jue hanging from his waist, with a sinister sneer.

Zhao Yang and Han Buxin also felt a little uneasy. They looked at each other, Zhao Yang clenched his fists tightly. He had a premonition that something was wrong today.

The group of doctors also began to whisper, not knowing what was going on.

Only Zhongjun Zuo Zhisong closed his eyes slightly, as if everything was under control.

At this moment, someone moved.

Fan Yang was the only Jin Qing who could walk up to the palace with his sword. He leaned on a dove stick and took a step forward, standing in front of Le Qi.

He said slowly: "Song, please wait! The old minister has something to report to the emperor first!"

…

At this moment, in Chengyi, the festival of the Winter Solstice, which is second only to Zhengdan in terms of liveliness in a year, is also kicking off.

Zhao Wuxi heard Cheng Wu say that there is a saying that "the winter solstice is as big as the year" during the Spring and Autumn Period. It is believed that the winter solstice is the peak of yin qi and the beginning of yang qi. After the winter solstice, the days grow longer and the yang qi rises, so it is the beginning of a solar term cycle and an auspicious day.

According to the Zhou Rites, "The winter solstice will bring the gods, men and ghosts to the sky." San Laozhang is a small sacrificial priest, and during the winter solstice, the villagers gather in the temple to pray for and eliminate the epidemic diseases in the fiefs of the state and reduce the famine to the people. of starvation death.

In the eyes of Ji Qiao and others, the important affairs of the country are Zhao Wuchen's due responsibilities, and he needs to do it himself.

Zhao Wuxi knew very well that the people at the bottom of this era were very superstitious about ghosts and gods, and he didn't dare to be careless about it, so today he wore a black dress, deep clothes, sheep fur, white jade rings, and dressed very formally.

At this time, he was meticulously carrying out his duties as a lord under the guidance of the village three elders.

Outside the shrine near the Chengyi Township Temple, a low mound has been built with stones and rammed earth, which is the stage for the beginning of the sacrifice.

Except for Cheng Weng, Cheng Shu and others, who once again used Cheng Ji's funeral as an excuse to stay behind closed doors, almost all the Chinese from the township came and stood in a dense circle for several times. The savages and rogues were also watching from a distance from afar. The lowly ones were not qualified to get too close, and the order was maintained by Wang Sunqi, Yang Tongrong and Zhao soldiers.

Of course, Sang Yangweng, Cheng Rong and others who broke up with Zhao Wuxi yesterday were also present.

The people of the country have been told that after the sacrifice, there will be a public meeting related to the agricultural affairs of the whole town.

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation...
