Chapter 40 The Seal
Naojiu thought this way, but Xiong Jing did not. The river always flowed east into the sea. No matter how it intercepted the silt, it would eventually go into the sea. This is fate, and the fate of countless people has gathered into history. It is not that history cannot be changed, but that it must have enough power to change. Obviously, Xiong Jing does not have such power, so he and the State of Chu can only go with the flow.
Xiong Jing, who understood this, heard that Naojiu led his mistake to the woman, and his eyes became cold with a stunned expression. He sneered: "Zhao Qi and Qi competed to bribe Qin, what does this have to do with Mi Xuan? If they have a little courage to fight to the death, why is it today? Zhao people, Qi people's fault is not wrong, but my fault is wrong?! I have finally recovered the old Ying and survived the country.
If you want to blame, blame your ancestors for marrying Qin Mugong! Otherwise, why would the great-grandfather, the king's father sway? One after another, one after another, the king's father, the king's father, the king's father, the king's father, the king's father, the king's father, the marriage is together. If he had heard Qu Yuan's words back then, how could he be today?"
Once someone attacked Mi Xuan, Xiong Jing would be angry. His words were too rebellious and Zuo Shi dared not remember them. King Huai would rather refuse to surrender than cede land to Qin. In the end, he died in Qin and was pitiful, so King Xiang had nothing to refuse. Jiu Ying was lost at his hands. At this time, he ascended the throne for twenty years, but he did not reverse the political situation of Chu State that was divided after the Battle of Chusha.
King Huai and King Xiang's past actions determined the Chu State today. Xiong Jing's actions were perfect. Even King Zhao, the lord of Zhongxing, expelled the Wu people with the assistance of the Qin people and restored the Chu State. At that time, Wu had no plans to rule Chu State for a long time, and they were already preparing to withdraw their troops.
Although Xiong Jing had done well enough, Chu State still found it difficult to reverse the trend. After regaining the old Ying State, Chu State's survival space was not larger, but smaller; the situation was not slower, but more urgent; the ancestral temples and the country were not safer, but more dangerous.
This cannot be blamed for Xiong Jing. What he can change is only the State of Chu, not the world. The road is far away and the building is about to collapse. What is being said is the current situation. This cannot be restored by one or two people's efforts, nor can one or two people harm the disaster.
Xiong Jing was powerless about this, and Naojiu, who did not understand this, was extremely anxious. Fortunately, the two sides did not argue because of this. Naojiu bowed quietly and left the bed. Xiong Jing sat leaning on the king's mat, staring at Gong Yindao.
"Didn't you say that the Qin people could not cast artillery? Why did they build it today?!" The founding palace was owned by Wang Ting, and Gong Yindao was Xiong Jing's private minister. The two of them were no longer as polite as Naojiu.
"This, this..." Gong Yindao was speechless, "This was created by the Bai Di people and has nothing to do with the Qin people."
"Why could the Baidi people build it?" Xiong Jing said distressedly. Qin was not a major technological country, and the Qin Shaofu system did not encourage technological innovation. They wanted to produce it step by step and standardize the production. Before building the giant iron cannon, Chu had cast bronze cannons, but the result was not optimistic.
"This, this..." Gong Yindao couldn't tell any reason, but fortunately he knew who knew about this. "Ou Chou, the governor of Ju Tie Prefecture, may he know, and the king can summon Ou Chou to ask."
"Summon Ou Chou?" Xiong Jing's eyes turned, mainly looking at the time on one side. After reading it, he said: "So quickly summon the young lady Mi to the sect."
"Ah?" Gong Yindao shouted softly. He wanted Xiong Jing to summon Ou Chou, but he didn't expect that he was summoning Mi Xuan. Today is a big wedding!
Gong Yindao shouted lightly, and the left and right historical, Chang Jiang, and the messenger were also surprised. The right historical said: "The king is married today, so you cannot call the young master Mi."
"The Qin people cast artillery, and I summoned the young master Mi to build a mansion with me to ask Ou Chou, what's wrong?" Xiong Jing was unhappy, and Naojiu accused him of pampering Mi Xuan too much, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
"The king will be married when he is married, so how can he be greeted by his wife? "The marriage involves diplomatic relations, not only related to the people of Zhao, but also to the people of Qi, Wei, Yue, and Ba. The wedding was discussed by the court officials for several years, and finally they would marry several times and make one marriage, with Yingnan as the queen, Gui Kejia, Ji Yu, Zuo Yue, and Balu as the wife. The queen and the four wives will work together to share the ceremony of the king with the king.
The wedding is so important, but in Xiong Jing's view it is just a performance of Zhou rituals, which does contain strong political factors, but it only has symbolic meaning. Since it is a ceremony, he will perform a ceremony. Zhou rituals are not without loopholes. For example, Zhou rituals stipulate the wedding procedures, but does not stipulate the relationship between husband and wife, whether it is a man or a woman, whether it is a waterway or a dry path, whether it is an external ejaculation or an internal ejaculation, which is unclear. He has enough loopholes to drill.
"I can welcome you in person when I am old." The Right Historian was still advising, and Xiong Jing had already stood up and walked out. In the past few months, some machines from the Zaofu have been moved over, and he happened to take this opportunity to take Mi Xuan to learn about Zaofu in-depth.
"King..." The Right Shi wanted to stop Xiong Jing, but he was too old and his legs were not smooth. Fortunately, Zuo Shi helped him. "Your Majesty is not polite!" Looking at Xiong Jing's back, he still screamed. Unfortunately, Xiong Jing didn't look back and soon went downstairs.
Zaofu is in the north of the city, and the fifteen-mile land bought by Mi family is in the south of the city. Xiong Jing has to leave Jiying's south gate and pass the Yangshui Bridge to reach the small town that is still under construction. Only then can he take Mi Xuan into the city to Zaofu. The time is only in the middle of the corner, and it is four hours before his wedding was greeted. The Right Historian opposed him but did not want him to meet Mi Xuan on the day of his wedding, but Xiong Jing insisted on meeting Mi Xuan on the day of his wedding.
When the car drove out of the royal city, the news reached Liuying Palace. Concubine Zhao was too late to stop him. Although his son came back from Qi State, he greeted him daily as usual, but he no longer joked like before. He just greeted him.
The man she loved deeply was going to marry another woman as the queen today. Mi Xuan tried her best to not think about this since she got up, but the more she didn't want to think about it, the more she thought about it. The undecorated bedroom was upset. She couldn't help crying before she started washing up. After eating early, Mi Ni and Mi Jiao, who heard the crying, hurriedly pulled her to a walk on a willow.
The outing was on the Yangshui shore on the side of Xiaoyi. Mi Ni's injuries had not yet healed - Si Bai sentenced her to moss and drew fifty jings on her back. Each draw was bloody and could not even make up for it. In the end, she had to give up and try to clean the wounds to avoid infection.
"Why is this small town..." Fifteen miles are fifteen miles away. If it is a square, it is a city with a side length of 1,518 meters. However, no one can tell what shape this small town is.
"This is," Mi Xuan frowned. She didn't want to think of Xiong Jing, but she couldn't help but think of it. Seeing this, Mi Ni stepped on Mi Jiao's shore and signaled her not to ask again. Mi Xuan still spoke: "The king said this is a castle. There are firearms in the siege, and the city is useless, so the castle should be built. The old city defenses are all known for their height, while the castle is low and interlaced with firepower..."
Mi Xuan has completely changed from returning from Qi State. She didn't look like a delicate girl before, but she became able to ride horses and shoot arrows. Mi Ni and Mi Jiao were very envious. Everyone couldn't understand what she said. For example, now, no one knows what "firepower" is.
Under the green willow, Mi Xuan thought of Xiong Jing the more he spoke, and his eyes became blurred as he spoke. When Mi Ni was not sure how to comfort her, Mi Jiao, the girl, shouted: "Master!"
"Don't talk nonsense." Mi Ni scolded. When she turned around, she was stunned, and Xiong Jing was coming with a smile.
"King..." Mi Xuan sobbed and ran towards the man, and threw himself into his arms without saluting. Everyone else retreated, and Mi Jiao, who didn't want to leave, was also pulled away by Mi Ni. Only Xiong Jing and Mi Xuan were left by Yangshui with lush grass.
"Are you wronged?" Xiong Jing could fully understand the mood of the woman in his arms. He comforted him: "When I ran to Linzeli to get married, they were so uncomfortable."
"King." When talking about Linzeli, Mi Xuan thought that the two of them fled over the wall and finally burst into tears and laughed. She and the man were already married, and they were already married before Ying Nan and others and shared the same bed and sleeping. She was the real wife, and they were all concubines.
"Stop crying." Seeing the woman laughing, Xiong Jing started to talk about the serious matter. "Go to build a mansion with me, come back after going."
After Xiong Jing was careful not to say anything, Mi Xuan was also careful not to ask after he came back. The two of them got on the carriage with their hands in hand and went straight to Ji Ying through Yangshui. The mansion was northeast of Ji Ying, and the carriage drove straight along the official road outside the city. When they got off the carriage, Mi Xuan tied her hair again, and her fair neck was covered with red dots. Everyone with them knew what was going on in the carriage, but they all pretended not to know.
Yin Dao Ou Chou, an internal worker in Juti Mansion, was waiting long ago. The swords cast by Ou before iron smelting were actually bronze swords. The so-called "the first shape of a pure hook fish intestine cannot be broken when it hits, and the stabbing cannot be penetrated when it is stabbed." This means that the pure hook sword, the fish intestine sword is cast, and only the cast swords have the saying "lower shape". If it is forged, there is no "shape" and no model.
Qin State casts cannons in bronze, which is also very unexpected to Ou Chou. He also thought that Qin State could not cast cannons. He and Gong Yindao were waiting for Xiong Jing. Seeing the carriage coming in a hurry, he bowed before he got off the car, "I have seen the king." After that, he suddenly saw Mi Xuan in a woman's suit following Xiong Jing, and was stunned.
"This is the young lady Mi." Xiong Jing was stunned when he didn't care about Ou Chou. He had never brought a woman to the building mansion. After saying that, he introduced Ou Chou to Mi Xuan: "This is the head of the Ju Tie Mansion, Ou Chou."
"Master Daye is famous all over the world, please accept Mi Xuan's worship." Mi Xuan bowed to Ou Chou, and Ou Chou hurriedly returned the gift. Xiong Jing signaled Chang Jiang to come forward and said, "From today, young lady Mi can go in and out of the various prefectures of the Zai Mansion at will, and inspect the Zai Mansion on behalf of me. This is a seal."
Chang Jiang presented a golden seal, which was a seal trumped by the royal court after the separation of the family. It was useless to put it in the main hall. Strictly speaking, only those who hold this golden seal can inspect the various governments of the founding palace. Xiong Jing could not enter if there was no gold seal, especially the most confidential Juti Mansion. However, the access control of the construction palace was not strict. If the gatekeeper dared to stop the king's carriage, the great craftsman in the palace would also order him to let it go.
"I am so kind to accept the order!" The king granted the golden seal to Mi Xuan, and Gong Yindao and others were surprised. Xiong Jing could hand over the power of inspection and supervision to anyone. The young lady Mi was nominally a female prince, but in fact she had already married the king. Maybe she would give birth to the eldest son of Chu when she gave birth to the eldest son.
