Chapter 67 Wei Xiang presents the sword
Wang Sun is a living legend that has been recorded in history!
Six years ago, the king of King Sun Man was alone, facing the Chu King Xiong Little brother who was leading tens of thousands of Chu troops and approaching, and said a saying destined to be passed down through the ages: "Although Zhou De has declined, his destiny has not changed, and the importance of the tripod is not to be asked."
This sentence made King Zhuang of Chu a villain for two thousand years!
Why did Zhou virtue not decline? Is it because God really has virtue? Of course not.
The reason why Zhou De has not declined was that the Jiang family Qi State established by the founding Grand Tutor Jiang Shang was still standing in the east and had a Duke Huan of Qi, who "respected the king and expelled the barbarians" was that the Lu State established by Zhou Gongdan was also a famous etiquette country and a second-rate power in China, and it was also because a vassal state named Jin, named Jin, stood on the north bank of the Yellow River next to the Zhou emperor, and also held the hegemony of the entire China!
The generous feudal of King Wu and King Cheng in the early years of the Zhou Dynasty brought incredibly generous rewards to their mediocre and incompetent descendants hundreds of years later.
Jin State is undefeated for a day, and Zhou De will never decline for a day!
Therefore, after careful consideration, the King of Chu chose to withdraw his troops.
Therefore, when the Jin army crossed the border, the Zhou emperor had to send people to express condolences.
As the Zhou emperor Zuo Qingshi, Wang Sun Man, who once said that he had retired from the King of Chu, was undoubtedly the best candidate.
The word "Wangsun" means that he is the grandson of King Xiang of Zhou, so the real name of Wangsun Man is Ji Man.
Ji Man is now an old man with white hair, but his aristocratic demeanor is still very disappointing.
Looking at the smiles between Xique and Ji Man, the various complex etiquettes and tools, Wei Xiang felt his head buzzing.
It was like the principal's conversation at the school conference when he was in school, making people drowsy.
Fortunately, Wei Xiang quickly discovered his target, and the young man standing beside Wang Sunman, Ji Ju, the prince of Jin State.
Starting from Duke Xian of Jin, it was a common practice for the princes of Jin to not appear in the capital. When Duke Wen of Jin went further and directly drove all the princes out of Jin, only one prince was left. During Zhao Dun's rule, Jin State had no prince at all. Therefore, it is not surprising that this prince Ji lived in Luoyi, where his uncle, Emperor Zhou.
Ji Ju was obviously educated by a good aristocratic education, which can be seen from the sternness he and Xique and others when they met with each other.
But he was just a young man after all, and he was still too immature and restrained compared to the mature Zhuqing.
Not many people took this young master seriously, including Zhao Shuo, the lord of Wei Xiang. Only scholars would salute from beginning to end, speak respectfully, like a real minister.
As for Wei Xiang, he is a person who is temporarily ineligible to speak with Ji Ju on such occasions.
Ji Ju looked at Shihui in the duck voice unique to the teenager's voice change period and asked, "Shibo, I wonder if my father is healthy now?"
The scholar pondered a little and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am still healthy."
Ji Ju hesitated for a moment and squeezed out a smile: "That would be better."
A welcome dinner was followed.
For the scholars and officials, etiquette and demeanor are very important, so the specifications of the banquet are also very grand. As for the fact that no banquets are allowed to have fun during the march... there is no such regulation at all!
The protagonist of the banquet is the Six Ministers of Jin State, and the accompanying son is the King of Sun Jiman. As for Ji Ju, it is just an optional mascot, an occasionally tool that can be used to connect topics, that's all.
Wei Xiang carefully observed Ji Ji. Although he tried his best to control his emotions, he could still feel Ji Ji's anger that was not valued.
This is also a true portrayal of the status between the nobles and the nobles. The six nobles who were supposed to be ministers were superior, but no one cared about them.
Finally, Ji Ju could no longer bear this situation, so he sued and left in the name of the toilet.
Leaving the main tent where the banquet was located obviously made Ji Ju feel relieved. He no longer concealed the anger in his heart and gritted his teeth and said to himself: "If a Japanese prince gets power in a dynasty, he will kill these fangs and restore the glory of our family!"
A voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Ju: "Young Master is such a bad word. There are not no ministers loyal to the Duke clan in the Great Jin Dynasty, let alone if the Duke kills all the noble clans, who will govern the Dajin for the Duke?"
Ji Ju turned around in shock, looking at his peers who seemed familiar in front of him with a gloomy face: "Who is that?"
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "Wei Xiang, the concubine of Zhao's family, met the young master."
"Zhao?" The name made Ji Ji's face become colder: "What's wrong with you?"
Wei Xiang took something out of his arms and said seriously: "Wei Xiang met the young master today, and knew that the young master would definitely rise up in the dragon in the future, and for my generation of Jin, I looked for an opportunity to see him so that the young master would know the heart of the Wei family."
Ji Ji's face moved, took the thing in Wei Xiang's hand, and found that it was an extremely exquisite short sword. The short sword was cast from some unknown texture. After pulling it out, it felt a sense of sensation. Fire light reflected on the blade. You can tell at a glance that it was extraordinary.
Ji Ju carefully played with the short sword, and the more he played, the more he became happy. The scholars of this era were all good at literature and martial arts, and fighting for dominance in the world was the yearning of every scholar, and his love for good weapons came from this.
Ji Ju's face relaxed a lot and said to Wei Xiang: "Is this sword famous?"
Wei Xiang bowed and said, "Just ask the young master to give him a name."
This is a steel short sword. It was originally a weapon used by Wei Xiang to fight with each other. The quality is naturally to kill all other weapons in the world. Unless Ji Ju doesn't know the goods, he will definitely like it. The facts also prove Wei Xiang's idea.
Ji Ju pondered for a moment and said, "Then this sword is called 'Sheng Xie'."
Wei Xiang smiled and said, "This sword is given to the name of the young master. In the future, he will definitely be able to cleanse the evil spirit of the Great Jin with the young master and make the Great Jin go to a higher level!"
Ji Ji's face became more and more gentle. He looked at Wei Xiang hesitating for a moment, but still couldn't help saying, "Since you are a retainer of the Zhao family, why should you show goodwill to me? Do you want to deviate from the Zhao family?"
Wei Xiang said seriously: "Wei Xiang is a retainer of the Zhao family, so he naturally wants to serve the Zhao family. However, Wei Xiang was entrusted by his father and brother to tell the prince a sentence--Although the Wei family is not talented, his loyalty to the prince has not changed. When the prince inherits the throne, the entire Wei family is willing to be the prince's front and fight for the prince, and then die!"
In the firelight, Wei Xiang's expression seemed extremely sincere.
Ji Yu looked at Wei Xiang quietly, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said slowly: "Is my father's body already so bad?"
Wei Xiang smiled and bowed to Ji Ji, then stood up straight and slowly disappeared into the shadows that the torch light could not shine.
--------------
"Hengjian Talks about Wei: Sword Gift": "In the seventh year of Chenggong, the emperor followed the Jin army south and passed through Luoyi. The prince and grandson Man led the prince to welcome him.
When the emperor saw the prince robbing, he was shocked and said, "This son has the appearance of a wise king."
The young master, who was also a smart man, heard the words and worshipped the emperor, saying, "If you have no talent, if you have advice, you will share the land of Jin with you."
