Spring and Autumn

2.3 Strange People in the World

Wu Palace is the most prosperous palace in Miyagi. It is built in the highest part of Miyagi. Under the palace is a large stone platform, called Wutai. Right hand

On the side is the seat of envoys of various countries, and on the left side is the seat of Qichen.

After waiting here in advance, the little pedestrians who serve as banquet officials have led the envoys and ministers of various countries to the pre-arranged seats.

There are wine lords and wine cans on the table of each seat. There is a table behind the envoys, which is used by the envoys.

Qi Pinggong did not enter the Wugong Palace and went straight to the apse, accompanied by Tian Heng and Yan Que. This is a common case of state banquets, country

You deliberately went out later to make the envoys and ministers talk to each other.

The Wu Palace is very lively, singing and dancing in the hall, His Royal Highness silk bamboo, and the temple maids shuttle to serve.

Liu Xiahui and Fan Li are old acquaintances. Seeing that the prince Gao and Tian Yi are chatting with Fan Li, holding the wine lord in their hands, they walked over.

Fan Li smiled and said, "I'm a drunkard. I've heard the beauty of dancing for a long time, and I just watched the dance of Nine Music. It's really wonderful. Qi women

The Yue girl seems to be taller, and she has another charm.

Tian said, "I am the daughter of Wu Yue for a long time, just like Xi Shi, which is rare in the world."

Fan Li smiled and said, "Zuo Sima is heroic and powerful. If he can go to Wuyue, he will definitely be accompanied by many Wu Yue's daughters.

It's my turn to admire Zuo Sima.

Tian Inverse laughed, and Liu Xiahui smiled and said, " Dr. Fan is a funny person." Liu Xiahui is a famous beautiful man in the world. He doesn't look like it.

No matter how young you are, you have the charm of a mature man. Tian looked at Liu Xiahui and sighed, "Mr. Liu is well maintained. He is now

Seeing Dr. Liu, he is still the same as more than ten years ago, and he doesn't seem to have never been old. Is there any way to look good?"

Before Liu Xiahui answered, Zhao Yang came over and smiled, "Mr. Liu Xia is quiet and likes the rhythm, so.

Zo Sima is willing to learn it?

Tian Reverse quickly shook his head and smiled, "I'm a rough person. I don't like wine every day, and I don't like women. I can barely learn the rhythm.

The desire is inesvable."

Everyone laughed, especially the prince, and the laughter was particularly loud. At this moment, Wushi Yan undoubtedly entered the Wu Palace. The envoys

It has been a long time since I went to this Wu Palace for a banquet. I don't know why this face came at this moment.

As soon as this man entered the Wugong Palace, everyone in the hall felt a cold feeling, which permeated from his face, as if someone had used it

The cold tip of the sword is as chilling as it is against itself.

People don't know why they feel this way. Fortunately, there were so many people in the Wugong, and everyone didn't care much about it.

At this time, Fan Li looked at Zhao Yang and said, "I heard that General Zhao has nine sons, and they have all been brought to the State of Qi this time?" Zhao Yang nodded:

"D. Fan is well-informed."

Liu Xiahui said, "I heard that the four ministers of the State of Jin are in politics, and occasionally there are disputes. The old general personally came to the State of Qi and brought the nine sons.

Who is the director in the family? He spoke euphemistically, and Zhao Yang knew what he meant. Zhao, Wei, Han and Zhi of the State of Jin compete with each other

Constant fighting, especially Zhiyao, the eldest of the Zhi family, has both literary and martial arts, intelligent and excellent swordsmanship, and this person is quite ambitious.

With Zhao Yang's old and shrewdness, he is also very afraid of this Zhiyao. It should be noted that what this kind of envoy does is a matter of etiquette, casually in Qingda

Just find an idle person among the husbands to send it. If it hadn't been for a special reason, Zhao Yang would never leave Jin as an envoy. In fact, countries sent envoys to

In Linzi, people are generally used as idle people. If important people are sent, there must be other plans. And the State of Lu is also a member of the monarch's power

The three families of Jisun, Shusun and Mengsun are somewhat similar to Jin, so that Liu Xiahui is particularly careful about this.

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Liu has a heart. In addition to the ninth son, I also have a daughter named Feiyu. This woman is good at strategy

The art of war and swordsmanship are not bad, and all kinds of skills are no less than those of me. If it hadn't been for my daughter, I would have made her my heir. Except at home

The eighth son has no shirt, and no one has her cost! What's wrong with me when she is at home?

Fan Li nodded and said, "General Zhao, the female son, is one of the three strange women in the world, better than Xu Mei. I heard that the old general is coming to battle,

This lady has been famous for a long time.

Tian Yi was interested when he heard the word "female" and asked, "What kind of strange woman in the world?" Why haven't you heard of it?"

Fan Li smiled and said, "Confucius has a disciple named Duan Muci, who is respected as his son Gong, and now he is Lu Xiang. He does business all over the world and travels around the world,

He is well-informed, self-learned, and his swordsmanship is also skillful. Occasionally, he evaluates the world's talents, and the world is convinced. Three major in the world

The strange woman's words are judged by him.

The prince asked, "Which three are the three strange women in the world?"

Fan Li said, "One of them is Miss Zhao Feiyu, the daughter of General Zhao. She is good at fighting and plotting, if

is a man, a doctor of Jin, leading the army to fight, which will certainly make the State of Jin repeat the hegemony of Duke Wen of Jin. Unfortunately, as a woman,

I'm afraid there won't be such an opportunity, which is a waste of this ability. However, as her daughter, she ranked as the fourth largest swordsman in the State of Jin, which is amazing.

Therefore, Duan Muci listed Miss Zhao as the third of the three strange women in the world.

The prince nodded and said, "This is indeed a strange woman. Who is the second one?

Fan Li asked, "In terms of swordsmanship, who is the first in the world?"

Tian Inverse interrupted, "Naturally, the dragon slaughter, who is known as the saint in the sword, is separated."

Fan Li said, "There used to be a swordsmanship teacher, and his swordsmanship is unique. If it comes to the age of Zhiliyi, it is not as good as Zhiliyi

With such achievements, the material is not far different.

Liu Xiahui felt very strange and said, "Do you think this person is gifted and not less beneficial?"

Fan Li said, "A few years ago, I saw a girl in Jianyi, and she could surpass the famous swordsman with bamboo poles in her hand. Ask in detail

She, it turns out that she has been herding sheep in the mountains since she was a child, and she plays with the white ape in the mountains with bamboo poles every day, which has become her natural and wonderful swordsmanship. She

My parents were swordsmen. They saw that she had been weak since she was a child and had never taught her swordsmanship, but they saw that her swordsmanship seemed to be natural and better than her parents.

So she was taught the magic of swordsmanship, and she became a rare master in the world.

Everyone is very interested.

Fan Li said again: "What this woman wants most is not in her swordsmanship, but in her martial arts vision. Anyone in her face

All the way to swordsmanship, she can tell you what kind of power is, what kind of position is not good, and take time to save the truth, and increase people's swordsmanship

double. At the same time, she is good at teaching. If others need to teach in a month, it only takes ten days for her to teach. When I first met her, she was about 17 years old

Eight years old, I don't know my name. I invited her back to the army to train soldiers for us. In only one year, the swordsmanship was stronger than before

more than three times. Because she did not report her name, she was called a Vietnamese woman. After Wu Ren knew it, he sent seven swordsmanship masters to Vietnam to kill her.

They were all defeated by it.

Everyone was shocked and praised it. Zhao Yang said, "Such a woman is really the most precious treasure in the world."

Fan Li said, "It's a pity that after the Spring Festival the following year, she disappeared. Some time ago, I heard that Yue's daughter is now in the State of Qi, so I came out

make it look for it. This woman was listed as one of the three strange women in the world by Duanmu.

Tian Heng said urgently, "Who is ranked first?"

Fan Li smiled and said, "Zhou Tianzi has a daughter, Mengmeng, known as Meng Wangji. This woman married the son of Jin, but unfortunately the son of Jin did not live.

She died after marriage. The emperor cherished her and managed to take her back to the royal city. Meng Wangji is now more than 20 years old, but she lives at home. This

Women don't know swordsmanship and martial arts, but they are elegant and unparalleled in the world. They are all fine in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, beautiful in their chest, and export into a chapter. She said

Confucius repaired Spring and Autumn, so he ordered people to copy a total of three cars of the history of various countries and sent someone to give it to Confucius, which is also a strange woman in the world.

Zhao Yang nodded and said, "I have seen Meng Wangji many times. In terms of strange women in the world, Meng Wangji is indeed the first, and the little girl is better than her

It's far away."

They said happily and loudly, which had already attracted the attention of the rest of the hall. I don't know when it will start, everyone

They all stopped talking and listened to their words.

At this time, when talking about Meng Wangji, the envoy of the emperor sitting in the first seat of his right hand patted his thigh arrogantly and said, "Duanmu gave a good comment,

Meng Wangji is indeed the most strange woman in the world. Wang Ji is in Chengzhou and has a banquet three times a month. All the envoys here have been to Cheng

Zhou, probably all of them have been to Wang Ji's mansion, right?

Most of the envoys nodded. Bai Gongsheng, the envoy of Chu, said, "The joy of feasting in Wang Ji's mansion is not comparable to other places. Going down

Once, I still can't forget it.

The envoy of Zhongshan asked loudly, "How is Meng Wangji's appearance?"

When he asked this question, there was an immediately sound of laughter from the temple. Tian Reqi said, "What's the matter?"

The one who laughed was Shizili, the envoy of the State of Qin. Shizili said, "Those who don't know the beauty of Wang Ji are blind!"

The envoy of the State of Wei said, "I have been to Chengzhou many times and met Meng Wangji. She is a magnificent beauty."

Ke, the son of the envoy of the State of Yan, also nodded and said, "I have also seen Meng Wangji. She is a rare beauty in the world."

He swallowed his saliva and muttered, "I haven't seen it again. Why do I have to laugh?"

Tian asked, " Dr. Fan, how are the other two women's appearance?"

Everyone said, "This Tianshi is a rude person. Such a strange woman only cares about his appearance." Previously, he also asked the dream king

Ji's appearance, but he is a Xianyu man in Zhongshan, and everyone doesn't care about his vulgarity.

Fan Li said, "The Yue women are beautiful and beautiful, and naturally they are beautiful. As for Miss Zhao, General Zhao doesn't say much here.

However, I heard that Zhiyao of the State of Jin has long admired Miss Zhao for her excellent swordsmanship and beauty. She repeatedly asked General Zhao to marry her as a wife.

were all rejected by General Zhao.

Everyone looked at Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang nodded with a smile.

At this time, Na Yan said without doubt, "As the identity of General Zhao, I came to the State of Qi as this envoy, which is very puzzled." In fact

Not only him, but also the envoys and ministers from other countries also have this question, but it is difficult for everyone to ask.

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Not only Yan Youling, but also everyone in the hall must have this question, right? To be honest, I took my nine sons to Qi, and

There is something else important."

Everyone said, "Sure enough!" Could it be that the State of Jin has been at war with the State of Qi for a long time because of the defense of the country, and now wants to make peace with the alliance?

In the dispute between the four ministers of the State of Jin, Zhao has felt defeated and came to look for foreign aid? Everyone has their own guesses, and so on.

Zhao Yang said, "Yan Youling is the first swordsman in the State of Wu. Wu not only sent Dr. Wang Sunxiong as the envoy, but also sent Yan Youling as the deputy envoy. It must be Yan

Is there something else important for the right collar?

Yan said without a doubt, "General Zhao asked, but I dare not answer. At that time, Wu's grandson, who used soldiers like gods, wrote Sun Tzu's Art of War

A book dedicated to the former king. When the first king was buried, this book was already buried. Naturally, there are other manuscripts in the palace, but the "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in the palace

The manuscript was unfortunately burned in the fire. The grandson was originally from the Tian family of Qi, and the king of Wu ordered him to come down to look for the book. If the Tian family had a manuscript, he had a lot of money

Please, copy it and bring it back to Wu.

Tian said, "Tian doesn't have this book. My brother has also been looking for Sun Tzu's Art of War for many years, and everyone knows it all about it."

Yan undoubtedly nodded and said, "I asked Tian Xiang, and so did Tian Xiang. It seems that I will go back empty-handed this time, and I am ashamed to see my king."

Zhao Yang said, "So it is. In fact, this time, one is the envoy and the other is for Zhao's family. I have nine sons, each of whom has his own

Long, I have never had an heir. Now that I am old, the matter of establishing an heir cannot be delayed any longer. I heard that there is a sword in Changguo, this

People are not only excellent in swordsmanship, but also listed as the first swordsman in the State of Qi. They are also good at face and extremely magical, so they bring their sons here and invite Zijian to have a look.

If you are lucky, you will set up someone as your heir.

Everyone was stunned. Unexpectedly, Zhao Yangxing moved the crowd to come to the State of Qi, but in order to establish an heir, and he wanted to ask the prime minister to decide. People at that time

It is extremely important to divination, and everyone thinks about it. It is not necessarily a way to use Xiangshi to determine their heirs. Most of the people here are

The people of doctors also have the matter of establishing heirs. At this time, the noble doctor had many wives and concubines and sons in the family, and Li Si was the biggest headache in the family

thing. It should be noted that behind each son, there is his mother, uncle, wife, minister, and follower support, and he has a son as his heir, often more than

All the children complain. Therefore, most families do not distinguish between good and bad, and take the eldest son as their heirs, which can make the family harmonious and not cause chaos. Then

The four ministers of the State of Jin are competing with each other. It is said that the Zhi family is extremely powerful. The Zhao family wants to establish an heir. In case of a mediocre person, it may be difficult to protect the Zhao family in the future

The peace of the family is determined to establish a good man as his heir to protect the family.

Everyone thought so and nodded secretly.

The ministers were puzzled and thought: "The swordsmanship of Zijian is excellent and everyone knows it. But he is divine. Why didn't I hear anyone mention it?

? Even Zhao in the State of Jin knows about this. How can I not know that I am in the State of Qi?

Yan said without doubt, "General Zhao is really wise and worldly, amazing!" Fan Li and Liu Xiahui nodded with a smile and didn't say anything.

People are very smart. I guess that Zhao Yang must be the heir in his heart, but for some reason he can't declare it, so as to avoid his family

In the chaos, he brought his sons out all the way, made them leave the various support forces behind them, and then set down their heirs. Return to Jin later

The country is a boat, and the rest are helpless. The so-called face-to-face theory is naturally just an explanation.

Fan Li and Liu Xiahui heard the unsuspecting words, which also guessed Zhao Yang's plot, so that they could say "the worldly wisdom" and secretly admired them.

There is no doubt that he is young, but his mind is quite meticulous.

Yan asked again, "Has General Zhao seen Zijian?" Zhao Yang smiled and said, "Last night, I took my nine sons to Changguo,

I saw Zijian and rushed back this morning. Zijian's eyes were like electricity, thinking that I, Zhao, had chosen the heir.

Everyone said "Oh" and was very interested. They were thinking about Zhao Yang's efforts to establish a descendant, but they didn't know who it was.

At this time, he heard the temple people shout, "The king is here!"

The sound of singing and dancing and the noise of the people immediately stopped and listened to the sound of the boots in the back of the palace. Qi Ping took Tian Heng and Yan Que in eight

A surrounded by Jiashi came out of the apse.

At this moment, Qi Pinggong is wearing a red robe, wearing a ruler-high gold crown, and strode to the high platform at the head of the hall, which is quite powerful.

The look of filial piety is very different every day. Tian Heng and Yan lacked to the seat of Qichen.

As soon as everyone got up and saluted Qi Pinggong, Qi Pinggong waved his hand and said, "Please sit down!" Waved his hand, the singer

also withdrew from the hall.

Qi Ping said: "I set up this banquet today. One is to thank the envoys of the State, and the other is to reward the hard work of the ministers. Today's drink

There is no limit on the number of wine, please drink happily. Generally, if you accompany the monarch to have a banquet, the wine is not as good as the three lords, and it will be rude. Therefore, Qi Pinggong specially said

a sentence.

Everyone agreed.

Qi Pinggong said again, "Sangguo, Dr. Yan, Gao Er, please come to the stage and sit with me."

It is a great honor to sit with the king. Tian Heng, Yan Que and the prince came to the stage respectfully, and the waiter immediately stood in Qi Pinggong

Three smaller food cases were placed next to the food case in front of them, and the three sat down.

Your Highness rang the bell, the temple maid shuttled up, and the food table in front of everyone quickly listed the things. Everyone washes

After the hand, wait to drink the three lords with Qi Pinggong, and then drink and eat separately. There are two maids behind each of honor to eat.

Women are all beautiful women selected, soft and gentle, which is pleasant.

After drinking with the monarch, there are not many rules. Some people drink more wine and stare at the young girls around them.

Move some lust, and the drum has already begun to touch and pinch the maid next to her, making her delicate and charming eyes fly around, so that

With bursts of laughter, the atmosphere is very good. In particular, Tian Wei hooked up with the maids beside him, and his movements were quite unbearable.

This kind of thing is not unique to the State of Qi, nor is it unique in the public palace. Everyone has long been accustomed to it.

Only the face is still cold, and the diet is very quiet. Even if the maid beside her is charming, she can't let

There was a slight expression on his face.

Liu Xiahui is famous for sitting and unrestless, but he is not as cold as his face, with a gentle smile on his face.

Occasionally, she said a few jokes with the maid of honor, which made her cover her mouth and laugh.

The Bai Gongsheng doesn't care so much. He is from the State of Chu. Most of the women in Chu are thin and weak, small and exquisite, strong and tall

The women are very different, and it is inevitable to hug left and right and laugh happily.

Qi Ping said, "General Zhao, I just heard that Zhao's heirs have been established, and I don't know who is standing? Have you ever been here today?"

Zhao Yang said, "The king has a heart, and this son is also here today." He got up to attend, and one person stood up at the table behind him

When he came out, the two of them saluted Qi Pinggong together. Zhao Yang pointed to the man behind him and said, "Your Majesty, this son is the eighth son of a foreign minister, whose name is Wu

The shirt is the newly established heir of the foreign minister.

Everyone looked at Zhao Wujian together and saw that he was six or seven years old, with a medium figure and a slightly dark face. The clothes are very simple and tailored

It is decent, neither gorgeous nor shabby. It looks extremely ordinary. If you stand in the crowd, no one will notice

He.

Most of the people are disappointed. They think that Zhao Yanghua will make great efforts to establish a heir, but he has an ordinary son with no appearance

There is no special temperament, and there may not be any special ability.

However, there are also a few smart people sitting there, such as Tian Heng, Fan Li, Liu Xiahui, Yan No doubt, etc., thinking that Zhao Yang is absolutely extraordinary,

The son of his cautiousness is by no means unusual. But an unusual person seems extremely unusual, which is unusual

In particular, I know that Zhao Wuyu is by no means unusual.

Everyone stared at Zhao Wubiao, but there was no change in Zhao Wubiao's face. He stood in front of Qi Ping, in full view of everyone and with him

Sitting on the table, he looked no different.

Tian Heng stared at Zhao Wujian for a long time and nodded, "This is not simple, extremely simple!"

Zhao Yang smiled and said, "The motherhood of this son is quite low. If it hadn't been for the divine eye of Zijian, I wouldn't have thought of this son as his heir."

Qi Pinggong suddenly remembered and turned his head and asked Tian Heng, "Sangguo, didn't you invite Zijian today?" Although Zijian has no official title, he is just a

Shiren, but he is the first swordsman in the State of Qi, once the swordsmanship teacher of Qi Daogong and Tian Heng's swordsmanship teacher, and his daughter is still Tian

The wife of Tianpan, the son of Heng, is the eldest son of Tian Heng, and may be the head of the Tian family in the future. It is the sword that has a lot of body in the State of Qi

Tian Heng was stunned, called Lu Qiu Ming up and asked, "I ordered Zijian to come. Why didn't you see it?" Lu Qiuming hurriedly said:

"I have already invited you. Later, Zijian sent someone to send a message, saying that he felt the kindness of the king, but today he was in poor health and could not come to go

Feast." The so-called negative sound is a common apology.

Zhao Yang said, "I'm afraid this matter has something to do with me. Zijian's good appearance is a very secret matter. They all think that the sword reveals the secret of the sky.

There must be misfortune, so it will be secret. Yesterday, I invited Zijian to face each other, so as to establish an heir and spread it. I'm afraid I'll invite Zijian to face each other

There is an endless stream of people. Today, if Zijian is here, the envoys and doctors may flock out. Please ask Zijian to

One of the phases. Zijian thought he was afraid of this and didn't dare to come.

Qi Ping said fairly, "So that's it. No wonder I don't even know that Zi Jian is good at it. It's just that Zijian dodged today, but he couldn't avoid Ming

In the morning and evening, it will still be very annoying.

Tian Heng and Zijian are children's in-laws, and they also learn swords with Zijian. They have a great understanding of Zijian and think, "Where can Zijian have any mutual skills?

Zhao Yang is talking nonsense. He looked at Zhao Yang, but saw that Zhao Yang was looking at himself with a smile. He immediately met him and said secretly, "This

Zhao Yang is an old fox!" He turned his head and said to Qi Ping, "You have to ask the king for help in this matter, otherwise Zijian will not be exhausted by the art in the future

ke."

Qi Pinggong said in astonishment, "How can I help?" Tian Heng smiled and said, "The king only needs to make an order, unless Zijian is willing to do anything

People can't wait to invite their swords to face each other. This is enough.

Everyone in the hall smiled and thought about this kind of king's order, which was really unheard of.

Qi Ping thought for a while and laughed, "It's really interesting that I succeeded to the throne today, but it's such an order." Immediately press the field

What Heng said, he passed the king's order. Then he said to Zhao Yang and his son, "General Zhao and Mr. Zhao, please take a seat."

Zhao Yang and the two retreated to their seats and continued to eat. Tian Heng looked at Zhao Wu again and saw that he looked calm and didn't drink much.

He chewed slowly and carefully, as if rice was the first major thing in his life, but his eyes flashed and he didn't know

What are you thinking about?
