Chapter 269 Is there really a princess?
A long time ago, the princes came to worship the Zhou emperor, and they needed to camp, bathe outside the city, and walk through a complete set of cumbersome and complete rituals before they could enter the city.
But now, just an envoy from a vassal state, the sage association can enter Luoyi directly and move into the inn where only the vassal states were qualified to stay.
That night, Ji Man warmly invited the Shihui and his party.
As we all know, the more formal the banquet, the less full it is, but this rule obviously does not work for Wei Xiang.
I have been traveling for so many days and I spend every day in the wild. It is rare to have a delicious meal, so why not eat enough?
Even though it has declined, the royal family still has the minimum majesty, and the Wang family dishes made by the chefs are also quite outstanding, which makes Wei Xiang secretly say that this trip is worthy.
The scene of Wei Xiang having a feast naturally fell into the eyes of those who were interested. Many Luoyi nobles who were accompanying him frowned secretly and suddenly became a little dissatisfied with this "countryman".
Ji Man obviously noticed this situation and couldn't help but smile: "Doctor Wei Xiang is indeed the number one warrior in Jin State, and even his style is so generous."
After killing Yang Youji, the number one warrior in Chu, Wei Xiang's "known as the number one warrior in Jin" has spread throughout China.
Shi Hui's cheeks beat a few times and said, "This brat is just a naughty nature, but his original intention is still good."
Wei Xiang ate on his own, pretending not to hear it.
People just can’t make their stomachs wrong for the sake of face!
After a while, the dinner ended, but Shihui and Ji Man obviously had something to discuss, so Wei Xiang and Shi Xie got together.
"Store around?" Wei Xiang suggested.
"good."
So the two of them started to stroll around the inn.
Luoyi is divided into two parts: Zhou Wangcheng and Chengzhou. This inn is part of Zhou Wangcheng and is located in the northeast corner of Zhou Wangcheng.
Zhou Wangcheng was built hundreds of years ago after Zhou Gongdan's Eastern Expedition to quell the Three Prisons Rebellion. The architectural style must have been the most advanced at that time, but now...
After Shi Xie left for a while, he couldn't help but sigh: "This royal city is too broken, it's not as good as the palace."
Wei Xiang coughed and said seriously: "What do you know? This is called the heaviness of history."
Before they knew it, the two walked into a garden. This garden was located in the corner, with weeds. It would be difficult to find this place without careful observation.
Shi Xie sighed and said, "My father has always respected the emperor very much, but he didn't expect that the emperor has already..."
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course everyone respects the emperor, but you must know that what everyone respects is actually the soldiers and generals in the hands of the emperor. Since King Ping moved eastward, the emperor was defeated by Marquis Zheng. Who else would listen to the emperor's orders again without soldiers or generals?"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "Does the princes and ministers in this world have only fame, wealth and power in their hearts, and no one can abide by etiquette and law?"
Wei Xiang and Shi Xie were both surprised and turned around to look, but found a girl standing a few steps away.
The girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and is extremely beautiful. She is also wearing gorgeous clothes. There are two maids holding torches beside her, looking graceful and charming.
In terms of appearance, Wei Xiang felt that since he came to this world, his wife Fan Mann could be compared with the girl in front of him.
Just as the Wei Xiang and the Scholars came to their senses, the girl had a slight eyebrows and said, "Why didn't the doctor and Siqing answer?"
Wei Xiang came to his senses and said, "I don't know if this person is..."
A maid behind the girl snorted and said, "Don't you know how to salute when you see the princess?"
Wei Xiang and Shi Xie suddenly realized that those who could appear here at this time were just princesses.
The two saluted at the same time: "Sir Xie/Wei met the princess."
The princess nodded slightly, looked at Wei Xiang and said, "It should be possible to answer now, right?"
Wei Xiang was a little embarrassed for a moment.
Although this kind of thing is well known to everyone in the world, it is obviously not appropriate to expose the shortcomings directly to the person involved.
The princess seemed to see Wei Xiang's embarrassment and said lightly; "I heard that Doctor Wei Xiang had never been afraid of the Chu Man army and thousands of horses on the battle formation, but today he did not say a word in front of a young woman. Could this be the doctor's demeanor?"
Good guy, even this kind of provocation has come out, can you bear it?
Of course not.
Wei Xiang raised his body straight and said, "I will not hide it from the princess. Etiquette and law are external, and strength is internal. If there is no strength, who will obey etiquette and law? It's like a minister who is a doctor. I'm just a servant, and I'm talking about it in the fiefdom. That's because all the lives of the people in the fiefdom are related to the thoughts of the minister. If the minister is just a commoner, why should other people obey the minister?"
Shi Xie was shocked and pulled Wei Xiang's sleeve a few times, but Wei Xiang was unmoved.
This pure girl seemed to have been in the palace at first sight. I really thought that people in the world had benevolence, righteousness, morality, ethics and laws in their minds, so let me teach you a good lesson.
Sure enough, the princess's face changed suddenly after hearing this. After a while, she said: "So, are the things like etiquette and law no longer believed by the people of the world?"
Wei Xiang sighed and said, "No. People in the world have always been just followers. They follow the rules set by the strong. No matter whether this rule is etiquette, respecting the king and expelling the barbarians or something else, it is actually not important. What is important is that the real strong people require everyone to believe in him."
The princess's face changed, almost unable to stand up straight.
Wei Xiang bowed and said, "Today, offend the princess, I will come to apologize again. I will sue you."
Wei Xiang pulled Shi Xie away from the abandoned garden.
As soon as he left the garden, Shi Xie shook Wei Xiang's hand away: "Are you crazy? How could you say such words to the princess? That would reach the emperor's ears!"
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "What can the emperor know if he knows?"
Shi Xie said: "Of course..."
Shi Xie stopped talking with a strange expression.
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "I finally came back to my senses from the beauty? Now our Great Jin is the strongest man in the world. The emperor still needs us to survive under the military attack of Chu. How dare he treat us envoys from Jin?"
Shi Xie was silent for a moment and sighed, "Can't you give the emperor some face?"
Wei Xiang shrugged his shoulders and said, "I am helping you educate your future wife."
Shi Xie was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he said, "I already have a wife, and I have several concubines."
