Chapter 626: Entering the Palace Again
(Please subscribe, please subscribe!! Monthly tickets and recommendation tickets are also getting started, making a fuss!!)
At the gate of Shangluo City, Wei Wuji and his party were not questioned too much, and then they were able to enter the city.
Just separated by this city wall, there are a huge difference between inside and outside the city. The white banners that are scattered outside can be seen everywhere within the city wall.
The shops and residential areas on both sides of the street, including the bustling pedestrians on the road, look in a white look.
"That's right, the whole Shangluo is mourning for the emperor!" Wei Wuji sighed with emotion.
This is why he rarely sees many strange things. If the SLRs of various countries die, it is the rhythm of the whole country wearing mourning. Because of its decline, the Zhou Dynasty only made Shangluo City like this.
"Mr. Qu, are we going to the palace to worship first?" Wei Wuji asked.
Qu Weidao shook his head and replied, "Young Master, we should go to the museum first. Someone will be directed to the palace to pay tribute tomorrow morning!"
Wei Wuji nodded. Qu Weidao is very professional in this regard, so he can worry less.
Soon they arrived at the hall. Because they were worried that the nations had conflicts due to the ranking of halls, the Zhoushi arranged the order for everyone.
But after Wei Wuji arrived, he found that the five major countries of Qin, Chu, Qi, Wei and Wu were in the middle and had the best location.
Second-class countries such as Tang, Song, Zheng, Liang, Bashu, etc. rely relatively on the outside, while those third-rate small countries with only first-line areas are some simple small courtyards on the outermost.
Moreover, this time Wei Wuji also discovered that his old rival, Chen Guo, did not appear here.
"Although the State of Chen is destroyed, the country's destiny is still there. Why is it so rude that it does not go to Luo!" Wei Wuji said somewhat puzzled.
Qu Weidao replied: "Young Master, Chen State is now dependent on Qin State, but it has been in name only... When they asked to attach the Zhou Dynasty to the inner Zhou Dynasty, they were rejected, and they even made a grudge with the emperor. It is normal not to not pay tribute!"
Wei Wuji nodded. It is indeed difficult for Chen State to be considered an independent country now. After the Zhou Dynasty failed to be affiliated with them, they completely turned to Qin State, and they were almost Chen County of Qin State.
"A big country competes for power, and a small country is like duckweed in the water. A wolf's head can make him doomed!" Wei Wuji sighed.
Qu Weidao continued, "It's not just Chen State. From the ninth year of King Zhao of Zhou to the present, Xu State has been destroyed in three years... I just outside the museum, I believe the young master has not noticed these two countries!"
Wei Wuji couldn't help but be stunned. He not only didn't notice these two countries, but he didn't even know that these two countries existed.
Wei Wuji has the intention to pay attention to this kind of third-class small country.
"Which country was destroyed by these two countries?" Wei Wuji asked.
Qu Weidao replied: "The State of Xu was destroyed by Qin, and the State of Cai was destroyed by Ba!"
In three years, these two small states were destroyed. It is conceivable that the Zhou family had been in decline for more than a hundred years, and many princes and states had perished.
"The world's trend will be together for a long time... A big country annexes a small country, and it is enough for me, the Great Wei to be the final winner!" Wei Wuji said in a deep voice.
In fact, when he said this, Wei Wuji couldn't help but wonder whether the Xu Kingdom, which was now sandwiched between Qi and Wu, would be one of the next disappeared princes?
Even if you think a little further, the second-class power Lu Kingdom, which was forcibly ceded to the land, is probably not far from destruction!
Later, Wei Wuji and Qu Weidao did not continue to talk. This is not the time to nostalgia for the past and the present. This is the Shangluo of Zhou Shi, and there are many crises here.
If the Chu people and Qin people next door come to cause trouble tonight, then his life will be difficult, and Wei Wuji is very clear about this.
But when night came and Wei Wuji was lying on the bed and his heart gradually calmed down, a beautiful man gradually appeared in his mind.
That was Ji Wanyue, the person he cared about the most in Shangluo.
Originally, Wei Wuji planned to go to find someone tonight, but he still knew that he could not find Ji Wanyue at this time. As a princess, she must have been guarding the palace at this time.
Therefore, Wei Wuji had a little expectation for tomorrow's worship, at least he could see Ji Wanyue.
But what's not good is that when the expectation becomes deeper and deeper, he also suffers from insomnia due to inner excitement.
The feeling of insomnia is not a good thing, which makes Wei Wuji feel a little depressed when he wakes up the next day.
After breakfast, they waited in the yard for the summons of the palace envoys. Not only Wei State was going to enter the palace, but all the envoys who arrived in Shangluo were going to enter the palace to worship until the emperor was buried.
This means that in the next ten days, Wei Wuji had to enter the palace to guard the emperor every day, and he didn't have much freedom.
It was not until the sun rose that eunuchs entered the hall, knocking carefully at the door and reminding envoys from all over the country to prepare to enter the palace.
At this time, Wei Wuji put his white mourning clothes on his body and walked out of the hall accompanied by Qu Weidao, where there were already carriages arranged by the palace waiting.
You cannot bring too many people to enter the palace to worship, as it is the same for any country, so the only one who accompanies Wei Wuji is Qu Weidao.
Shortly after entering the carriage, Wei Wuji could feel the movement of the carriage. The museum was not too far from the kingdom and would be able to arrive soon.
At this time, Wei Wuji closed his eyes and started to sleep. He didn't sleep well last night, so he could take this time to make up for his sleep.
But before long, at least Wei Wuji felt this way, so he was woken up by Qu Weidao, and the palace had arrived.
When Wei Wuji got off the car, he found that dozens of people had stood in the small square in the palace, and the envoys of the princes of the world were also here.
He soon saw the old acquaintance again. The envoy of Chu State was still the young master Xiong Jun, and the other party was also looking at him at this time.
Xiong Jun looked at Wei Wuji with cold eyes, or murderous aura. After all, the two countries were fighting, so it can be said that the enemy met.
"It turned out to be Gongzijun. We haven't seen each other for three years when we went to Luo and left!" Wei Wuji took two steps forward, as if he was greeting Xiong Jun like an old friend.
At this time, the man beside Xiong Jun took a step forward, blocking between Wei Wuji and Xiong Jun, with a look of vigilance on his face.
Wei Wuji was suddenly confused. Could it be that he was so unpopular? The Chu people were too slight.
He knew that it made sense for people to be careful of him. After all, Wei Wuji's personal force is relatively high, so what if he suddenly starts to hurt someone.
Just as Wei Wuji was puzzled, he heard the man who was blocking Xiong Jun's face said in a deep voice: "Young Master of Wei, this is Your Highness, the Crown Prince of Great Chu!"
Xiong Jun became the crown prince of Chu... Wei Wuji was stunned. That was the position he could only think about, but the person in front of him had already sat on it.
At this time, Wei Wuji could not help but feel powerless. Why is his life so miserable?
