Chapter 240 People’s hearts are clear in the Jingwei area(2/3)
"This is Zhaoyang..."
"This is Baili Xi who entered Qin..."
"King of Baiyue..."
"Also, this is a gift from Lord Bao Guo, sent by Lord Bao Guo's sister on his behalf."
Hearing this, Feng Yun's eyes flashed into the appearance of Baosi, a little girl from that year.
But the girl back then was already Bao Si, the concubine of the emperor.
Feng Yun couldn't help but look at it and saw it was cloth.
The style of this cloth looks familiar...it was what he wore when he was giving lectures in the field in the big court.
"Let's make spring clothes, this winter is about to pass."
…
January · Beginning of Spring.
The emperor suddenly announced that he would be crown prince.
As soon as this statement came out, the princes had different thoughts.
Therefore, at this time, the emperor was only a few years old and in his prime, and he only had two sons.
This makes people wonder whether the earlier rumors that the emperor was injured are true.
But no matter what, at this time, the emperor's first priority was to establish the crown prince.
Just obey the order——
The prince's uncle was ordered to live in the Jing River, and the prince's Yijiu was in the Wei River. The two of them lived with their mothers and bowed to the sky as human beings... The one who can be favored by the phoenix bird can be the prince.
As soon as this order came out, not only Fenghao, the capital of Zhou, but also the entire Zhou Dynasty and the princes and states in the surrounding areas were shocked.
"No!" the courtier cried in shock.
"Although the prince's uncle is elder, he is still a commoner."
"The Crown Prince Yi Jiufang is the legitimate son of the queen!"
The importance of "Zhou Rites" is that the direct successor to his father's throne has an endless inheritance.
This order of the emperor is a blatant violation of Zhou Rites. All countries regard "Zhou Rites" as their national policy, so how can it be passed.
But the emperor was tough and bluntly said that Fengniao would make the decision, and the princes only needed to treat each other with respect, no need to say anything!
Under such circumstances, how can the princes persuade me?
He could only see Queen Shen. She went to the palace day and night with the intention of meeting the emperor, but the emperor did not see her.
Just listen to the emperor’s words——
"The two princes have been talking and thinking for the past two years. At this time, the mother is carrying her to the side of Jingwei. This is to teach her children virtues..."
"In ancient times, people did not recognize their fathers, but recognized their mothers. Great sages and great sages have never ceased to exist in the world. I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, have learned this. Don't I have a mother who can raise a virtuous king?"
With these words, the queen did not dare to come again and could only raise her son Yijiu with peace of mind.
Just listen to the queen saying to herself: "I am the queen, the daughter of the Shen Kingdom, and the son I gave birth to is my legitimate son. Is it possible that I will be replaced by Bao Si's son?"
"She is just a woman who grew up in a barbarian land. How can she learn the virtues to educate a good son?"
As for the other side, Bao Si has also taken Prince Bofu to live in Jingshui.
Unlike Queen Shen, Bao Si had no complaints and no desire to compete for the crown prince. He just raised his children with heart and taught him the way to survive and the foundation of being a human being.
This is where the fight between the two women begins.
The emperor ordered that after he could not get help, he left some subsidies and stopped sending anything.
If they want to raise children, they can only take care of the housework, otherwise they cannot even maintain their livelihood.
The rest of the princes, undercurrents were surging, thinking about the purpose of the emperor's trip, but they did not dare to violate the rules.
This day.
"Fengzi, the emperor has sent an order, hoping that you can fulfill your responsibility of keeping the history of Tibet, take the book of enlightenment, and go to the Jingwei River to teach the two princes how to practice calligraphy."
The servants were outside the side hall, bowing their heads respectfully.
Feng Yun was in the palace, writing slowly.
After hearing the sound, Feng Yun just thought for a moment and said, "Just teaching calligraphy?"
"It's just teaching calligraphy." The chamberlain said hurriedly: "After the prince is elected, a master will teach him."
Feng Yun nodded.
Taishi, Taifu and Taibao are the three ancient masters.
The Grand Master presides over the government, represents the Emperor, and goes to war abroad.
The Taifu takes charge, assists the Emperor, and governs within.
The eunuch protects the emperor, supervises the emperor, and supervises the country.
Often the three princes are also the teachers of the emperor, or the prince, and the elders of the country.
However, at this time, the crown prince did not deserve this honor.
and.
"Since the emperor intends to imitate the classics of ancient times, and the sage is the king, I would like to help him if he can read the books in the palace of classics."
Feng Yun reads the books in the Palace of Classical Books in order to keep the history, so he should stay in his position, seek his duties, and fulfill his responsibilities, which is to repay the kindness of reading the books.
"Thank you Fengzi."
What the emperor wants is just a name. After all, Fengniao is here with Feng Yun.
The emperor didn't seem to really value the phoenix bird, because he never came to Feng Yun to ask about the phoenix bird's origin.
What the emperor wants...
Feng Yun waited for the chamberlain to come back before pouring out his words: "The emperor wants to take this opportunity to wipe out some powerful vassal states, so as to stabilize these powerful vassal states and show off his power."
Shen Guo!
The emperor wants to take action against Shen Guo!
"The State of Shen is indeed powerful, but it is not just the State of Shen..."
Feng Yun understood.
Why did the emperor insist on conquering Chu in the south?
Even if we cannot see the benefits from Chu territory, we must still gather the princes from many places to suppress it.
The reason is also to weaken the power of princes everywhere.
If the princes in various places are weak, it is in the greatest interest of the emperor.
"Don't try to flood the Chu land with water, and drown the armies of many countries together with one of your own divisions."
Feng Yun sighed.
If he were born when the Great Zhou Dynasty was at its peak, would such an emperor still become King You of Zhou in later generations?
At this time, the emperor was already following his own path and going against the general trend, trying to draw chestnuts from the fire!
"Man, pack some bags, let's go to a place where Jing and Wei are clearly separated, build a thatched hut, and live there for a while."
Manwa heard the sound outside the palace, responded hurriedly, and went to make arrangements.
Feng Yun dismissed this thought.
The end of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the rise of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty are in line with human nature. It will be a great era for the human race. He is powerless and cannot resist it. What he can do is to maintain the core of humanity - human nature in this turbulent world.
Destruction of humanity must not be used as a way to get promoted!
Soon...
Feng Yun's thatched house was built at the intersection of the Jing and Wei rivers.
With the arrival of Feng Yun, the two princes also began their journey of learning calligraphy.
Every day, Queen Shen and Bao Si would arrive along the Jingwei River with their two princes at Chen time. They would leave with a little foresight. Their destiny still had to take care of the work and make a living.
And Feng Yun had to teach the two princes how to distinguish things in the world, such as grains and trees, patterns of soldiers and armor, and nothing more.
During this period, the emperor came from time to time, but not to Feng Yun, but to Bao Si and Queen Shen.
Just like an ordinary father, he talks with his two children and observes their studies.
But it can be seen that Bao Si went to Bao Si's place more often than Queen Shen, and most of her conversations were filled with smiles.
When she came to see Queen Shen, she was very serious, and sometimes she would leave dissatisfied.
After hearing this, the minister of State of Shen was extremely anxious.
At this time, the beacon fire altar in Lishan Mountain is being built with the efforts of the whole country. After the beacon fire altar is built, the emperor will ask nature to choose the prince, and the phoenix bird will prevail.
To be continued...
