Chapter 85 Brazier
"My mother is here, I don't know what's going on?" It was already dark. Xiong Jing did not go to Ruoying Palace again during dinner. He would be enough to greet him once a day. During lunch, Concubine Zhao meant that she would come back after dinner. She must get Xiong Jing's determination to make sure that he will complete the wedding in a regular manner tomorrow. The queen is just a title. Ying Nan is the queen and does not delay her son's favor for Mi Xuan.
"The king doesn't know why the queen came?" The son's tone was resistant. Concubine Zhao not only endured this resistance, but also sat down.
"I don't know." Xiong Jing could only sit down, although he was reluctant.
"The court officials and mothers all want to make the princess of Zhao the queen. Do the king know?" Concubine Zhao did not say tactfully and bluntly as at noon. She wanted to explain everything that did not explain during lunch.
"The child is known. The court officials are in court, and the mother wants to make the princess of Zhao the queen." Xiong Jing said with no expression on his face and repeatedly said that he knew.
After all, it was her own son. Concubine Zhao knew what Xiong Jing said: it was known, but it was only known. Knowing it did not mean it would be implemented. She stared at her son and said, "The king doesn't want it?"
Concubine Zhao digs into specific actions, and Xiong Jing chooses to keep silent at this time.
"Why don't the king?" Zhao Fei continued to ask. "The king should know that the king is the king of Chu, and the king of Chu will be ruled by the Chu king. The king established the Ao system that year, and the great things were ruled by the rule of the court. Do the king want to do it?"
Paradoxes can be seen everywhere in life. Xiong Jing must accept the constraints of Ao System that he personally restored. This is a huge paradox. If he accepts, he cannot make Mi Xuan the queen. Mi Xuan even can't be a wife, he can only be a concubine. If he does not accept it, it means that he does not recognize the court decisions under Ao System, which means that Ao System is abolished.
Faced with the paradox he created, Xiong Jing was silent for a long time. Suddenly, he stood up and returned to his dormitory, and carried out his wedding dress that had been neatly placed indoors. He walked to the burning brazier in the hall, and looked at Concubine Zhao and said, "You can not marry a child!"
"King..." Concubine Zhao had a premonition of what her son was going to do. Before she could say anything, Xiong Jing had thrown a whole set of wedding clothes into the brazier. The brazier was not big, and the whole set of wedding clothes was like a thick bedding, which suddenly pressed the flames to the smallest. The flames burned the bottom crown clothes. This gorgeous dress that took a year to embroider, first came out of blue smoke, and was burned by the flames and began to burn.
The moment the wedding dress is thrown into the brazier, it is impossible to get a wedding. There are many differences between the crown dress used for weddings and the crown dress used for sacrifices. Xiong Jing grows tall every year, and the clothes are made new every year. It is impossible for the wardrobe to make another set of wedding dress overnight.
Concubine Zhao stood up angrily, and she cried out again: "Marriage is based on the orders of her parents. The matchmaker's words, how can the king not marry if he doesn't marry? Then Mi Xuan has the same surname as you, the same surname as you, and the same surname as her, and she will not live in a prosperous life! Why did the king make Mi Xuan the queen?"
"Okay! The child can also make the Princess of Zhao the Queen. However," Xiong Jing smiled, "It must be a report of the marriage. In addition to the mother and queen, the wife of the father is the wife of the child, and the concubine of the father is also the concubine of the child, can it be?"
"Does the king want his mother to die?" Concubine Zhao suddenly burst into tears. She didn't understand why her son had to establish Mi Xuan.
"The mother raises her child, how can the child let her mother die?" Concubine Zhao burst into tears, and Xiong Jing's heart tightly twitched.
"The king will make Princess Yingnan the queen." Zhao Fei wiped her tears. "It was not because of her mother's queen who wanted to make Yingnan, but the officials of the court were willing to make Yingnan. Zhao State was destroyed, and making Yingnan the queen could make the common people in Zhao know that Zhao State had hope of restoring the country, the king..."
The wedding dress was burning slowly. Concubine Zhao was indeed right, but Xiong Jing had another understanding. He smiled bitterly and said, "It doesn't matter who is the queen. The child just wanted to ask, what system should be implemented in the palace in the future? Will the Zhou rituals be practiced?"
"Why can't the Zhou ritual be performed? All the kings and palaces in the world perform the Zhou ritual be performed?" Zhao Fei asked back.
"Not Chu!" Xiong Jing waved his sleeves fiercely, "Not Chu! If I were king, it would never be! The child knew who was saying 'Men and women had the same surname, and their lives were not prosperous'. I must prove that they would never succeed!"
Xiong Jing was so angry that he didn't call him "I" but called him "I". It was not that he could not accept the result of Ying Nan as the queen and Mi Xuan as his wife, but he could never accept that someone changed the Chu Palace and then changed the Chu State and turned the Chu State into their Chu State.
This is not marriage, this is politics; this is not right or wrong, this is a subtle attempt to create a fait accompli.
"How could the king be like this?" Xiong Jing's sudden anger made Concubine Zhao tremble. She never thought that her son would be so angry.
"Why aren't the child?" Xiong Jing was very angry. "If they have the courage, they would tell each other bluntly, why did the mother force her so much?"
"Why can't the Zhou rituals be performed?" Zhao Fei knew who her son was talking about, and some people did advise her, believing that the palace should strictly implement the Zhou rituals. "If the Chu State does not perform the Zhou rituals, how can the kingdom of the world be the king in the future?"
"Wang Tianxia?" Xiong Jing smiled. He could already determine who it was. "What does the world have to do with our Chu State?"
"The State of Chu is not for the world, how can it rescue Zhao, how can it rescue Qi, and why..." Concubine Zhao was even more confused.
"My mother is a big mistake! If the King of Qin really does not destroy Chu, Zhao, Qi, Wei, why should our Chu save him?" Xiong Jing said disdainfully. "Chu saves Zhao, joins Qi, and Wei, but only for Chu, how can he do it for the world? What does the world have to do with Chu?
They fantasized that Chu State would unify the world on behalf of Qin State, and then used them as national teachers to promote the Zhou rituals. This was a dream!
If they want to promote the Zhou rituals, they should implement them by themselves. Why should the State of Chu help them? They cannot implement them, but they should promote them without the barbarians who do not believe in the Zhou rituals. This proves that the Zhou rituals they believe in are corrupt and useless, and should perish!
In addition to making suggestions, have they killed a Qin man or received a Chu money? What qualifications do they have to ask Chu State to do this and Chu State to do this? I, Chu people, are not their slaves!!"
As long as the anger is vented, the heart will be relieved. Xiong Jing has a mature side and a childish side. This is his personality. There are many extreme rebellious elements in his personality and also contempt for the weak.
The rules are set by the strong, but now the weak want to influence and change the strong with the rules believed by the weak. Under normal circumstances, this is definitely impossible, so they try to achieve their goals in a way that Xiong Jing thinks is a despicable and despicable way - the Empress Dowager Zhao Concubine is the most powerful piece they can use, and any resistance of their own will hurt the mother and son.
The crown garment was already burning in the brazier, and the fire turned Zhao Fei and Xiong Jing's faces red. The mother and son both saw each other clearly in the fire.
Concubine Zhao suddenly felt like her husband: Although she was Xiong Yuan's wife, she knew all Xiong Yuan's preferences and habits, but she never understood his thoughts. After all, she was just a Zhao person.
Xiong Jing's eyes looked at his mother's queen like the screenshot that was often cited in later generations: 'You have to listen to xx'. Obviously, the mother's queen was united front. The reason for being united front was not because Yingnan was made queen, but because Zhao was the mother's queen. Zhao was destroyed, and Chu's intervention in the world was beneficial to Zhao's restoration; Chu's state was the most unfavorable to Zhao.
As for the future expelling the Xiongnu, the partner of expelling the Xiongnu will definitely be the people of the land of Zhao rather than the people of Handan. The people of Zhao who will not practice the Zhou rituals. The Zhao State they will restore in the future will definitely not be the State of Handan Zhao State that will practice the Zhou rituals. It can be said that the destruction of Zhao State is not a bad thing but a good thing, which gives them the opportunity to return to their original self.
Before the Chu State fought against Qin and was completely safe, the Zhao people in Handan were ally of Chu; after the Chu State was no longer threatened by Qin or the Qin State was destroyed, the Zhao people in the Democratic Republic became ally of Chu State.
Even without the relationship of driving the Huns in the north, the real Chu nobles would rather deal with the Zhao people in the Descent and were unwilling to deal with the Handan court. Only those who were not pure aristocrats of the Chu Kingdom would regard the Handan court as the main guide and the Zhao people in the Descent and as the barbarians. Most of the Chu nobles would not want Mi Xuan to be the queen of Chu... It's very simple, Mi Xuan was close to Qin.
"It's late at night, please go back to the palace to sleep." Xiong Jing had regained his peace and rationality. He knew what he was going to do.
"If the king doesn't get married, how can the mother sleep in peace?" Concubine Zhao was still crying.
"The boy is married." Xiong Jing stepped back many steps. "The court is determined to make Yingnan the queen, and Yingnan the next step is."
"That's true?" Concubine Zhao couldn't believe that her son was obviously opposed just now.
"You have no jokes." Xiong Jingzheng pointed his head. In order to reassure Concubine Zhao, he also swore: "If you break this promise, if there is a day!"
Concubine Zhao finally came out of bed, and the cold wind slapped the snow foam on her face. Not only did she not feel cold, but she felt hot. Although she suspected that her son would use other methods to resist, her son made an oath. Don’t say that faith is the most important thing, she only remembers that her husband would never regret it whenever he swore.
"Go to the Siyi Office." Concubine Zhao, who was thinking about this, came to her senses only when the chariot was about to arrive at Ruoying Palace. Her son had already burned the wedding clothes, and the most urgent task was to sew another set of wedding clothes.
"Summon the Dazai, Taibu, attack Yin, Taifu..." Sewing wedding uniforms is just a trivial matter, and the other thing to do is to postpone the wedding, which requires Taizai to notify the ministers who send their marriages in various countries. After determining the date of sewing wedding uniforms, Taibu also needs to determine the wedding date.
It took a year to sew the wedding uniforms, but naturally Concubine Zhao could not wait for a year. She summoned the attacking Yin. The tutor wanted the attacking Yin. The tutor came up with a policy of change. For example, can the crown dress be used as the wedding uniform for the wedding? If so, that would be great. If not, then you should try to make the crown dress as soon as possible.
