Chapter 59 The fourth quarter is elegant and elegant, how can I feel

The Liyang harem is immersed in joy, and the wedding of Princess Yingyu is busy preparing. After Qin Xiaogong heard the news of Hou Ying's return, he let out a long sigh, feeling relieved and relaxed.I have never been married, and my mother has been unhappy.If Yingyu's marriage is still not settled, the empress mother should be very worried.Now Yingyu's marriage ending is actually a rare ideal, the queen mother agrees, Yingyu herself yearns for it wholeheartedly, so he naturally agrees. Qin Xiaogong thought more.The reform of the Qin State is climbing up the most critical half slope, Wei Yang has faintly become an isolated island among the courtiers, and even Qin Xiaogong himself feels the alienation and indifference of the elders of the family.Ever since Yingqian was tortured, Gongsun Jia was exiled by tattooing, and the crown prince was demoted and the common people left Liyang, the situation in Qin State suddenly became severe.Yingqian's closed door announced that all ministers of the Qin family had withdrawn from the reform forces.Almost all the old and old power ministers were hit or damaged in the reform, and the old Qin tribes among the people of the country also suffered a lot of damage to their interests during the reform-the reduction of their prominent status, the deprivation of hereditary privileges, and the removal of their subordinates from farmers. Became free people, private armed forces were banned, and became an ordinary tribe on the same level as common people's families.At this time, if the reform itself is in chaos, accidents, or failure in some aspects, it will cause the combined opposition of these forces, and there will inevitably be chaos and even a coup in Qin, and Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang will be buried together in the restoration. The power's wrath and revenge!At that time, the reform will blow like the wind in Qin.

To avoid such an outcome, it is necessary to ensure the smooth progress of the reform, and to ensure that Wei Yang and his reform team are as stable as Mount Tai.To achieve this, Qin Xiaogong and Wei Yang's monarchs and ministers are fundamental.When Yingqian was safe, Qin Xiaogong——Wei Yang——Yingqian were the three-legged tripod supporting the reform, and it was difficult for ordinary forces to shake them.Now, one foot is broken, and only two feet are left to support it.If there is a slight gap between the two feet, the overall situation may be overturned.In today's world, the most powerful means of declaring an alliance to the world is the marriage of monarchs and ministers.The reason why Yingqian objected after being tortured just shows that this matter is the crux of the situation.The reason why Qin Xiaogong went to Hou Ying to mediate in person was because he was soberly aware that the key to the situation in Qin State lay in the solid alliance between the monarch and the reform ministers.He knows that Wei Yang is worse than state affairs but less than personnel affairs. Wei Yang is concerned about the people's situation and national strength, and the conflict of interests in the power field itself is far less sensitive and wise than the conflict of state affairs.It is almost impossible for Wei Yang to realize this consciously.However, Wei Yang is a great talent after all, and the self-esteem of celebrities is extremely strong. If Qin Xiaogong personally explained to Wei Yang, it would definitely give Wei Yang an irresistible pressure.Taking the traditional matchmaker's words and giving Wei Yang room for maneuver is the best way for Duke Xiao to think over and over again.

Fortunately, Wei Yang finally agreed, and Wei Yang rejected Ying Qian for the first time.This shows that Wei Yang also has an insight into the subtle crisis of the court situation, and is determined to show the strength of the monarch-subject alliance in the most traditional but also the most thorough way.But since there was a refusal, it meant that Wei Yang must have unspeakable difficulties.Qin Xiaogong discussed carefully with the Queen Mother and Yingyu. On the one hand, he prepared the wedding ceremony with great fanfare, so that the news would spread throughout the court; When the news of Wei Yang and the princess's upcoming wedding spread quickly, Qin Xiaogong made the most of this opportunity and promoted Wei Yang to Daliang Zao in one fell swoop. The military power of the generals of the Mengxi and Bai tribes has all been transferred to Wei Yang!

Daliangzao is the sixteenth level of the traditional titles of the Qin State. It is the actual title that includes military and political power among the highest titles. The fourth-level titles above it are basically empty titles.In the history of the Warring States and Qin, only Wei Yang and later Bai Qi made great and good works.In the late Warring States period, the military and political powers were separated, and the title of Daliang Zao became a false title of honor, and eventually disappeared.The news of Wei Yang's promotion to Daliangzao spread, shocking the Qin government and the people, and the ministers of the family were dumbfounded but had nothing to say.According to the tradition of the Qin State, the ministers who marry the public house are naturally members of the public house aristocrats, and they are naturally high-ranking ministers. refute?However, the nobles were still shocked by Wei Yang's promotion to the sixth rank (the chief minister of Zuo Shu is the tenth rank) and his command of the military and state affairs.For such a Wei Yang who suddenly combines the status of an official nobleman and military power, who can easily shake him?

Qin Xiaogong's move almost handed over the entire state power to Wei Yang, and in one fell swoop cleared up the haze that permeated the government and the opposition waiting for Wei Yang's restoration!The common people rushed to tell each other, no longer worrying about changing the law and going back.The gloomy family members were greatly discouraged, and began to slowly move closer to Wei Yang's reform forces. When these two news shook the court and the people of Qin State, Qian Long, who lived in the study, remained motionless, like a vicious old fox. The lonely and invisible conspiracy separated Yingqian and the prince from the reform forces in one fell swoop, and made Wei Yang an extremely tenacious enemy!This is the masterpiece of Qianlong's conspiracy.However, before he was secretly happy for a few days, the situation changed even more. Duke Qin married Wei Yang, and Wei Yang was promoted to Daliang Zao and took over the military and political power!From the bottom of his heart, Qian Long was not intimidated by a talented person like Wei Yang who only knows how to do things but not how to be a man. It is easy for such a person to fall.However, Qian Long was inexplicably afraid of Duke Qin's power tactics. This monarch, who was as young as Wei Yang, was simply a natural genius for power tactics!His stealthy maneuvers hit the vital point of the court every time. It seemed that no one felt that he was targeting him, but he firmly deterred every opponent, whether overt or covert.He does not have the weakness of ordinary monarchs who cherish power like fate, and dares to hand over the greatest power to his trusted ministers. He does not pay attention to detailed and specific government affairs, and only turns the crisis around at critical moments.Duke Qin was born to be a rare wise ruler, and Wei Yang was born to be a rare and strong minister. Now that these two are closely united as one, is it possible that Qianlong is destined to die of old age and die silently?

"Father, Du Zhi came to visit. I said my father was unwell, but he insisted on seeing him." Son Gan Cheng reported softly. "Let him in. Otherwise, the donkey will sit for three days and three nights." Du Zhi walked in with a dark face, and bowed deeply, "Old Master, Du Zhi wants to resign and return to his hometown in Yongcheng, please enlighten me." Qian Long was not surprised at all, and sighed, "It's a pity, there will never be Du Zhi in Qin." "It's better to live in seclusion in my hometown than to be a coward in Liyang." "Stupid, stupid, blind."

"Old master, what do you say?" Gan Long's old and hoarse voice said word by word, "The state of Qin is tossing its roots. There is no pure land in the whole country. How can there be a place to live in seclusion?" , There is nothing to hide. The new law will come out, and those who reject the peasants and wars are all tired people, and a village official can put you to death. As a nobleman, you Du Zhi, even if you endure to be with the untouchables, you can guarantee that you will not break the law Or not to be joined by others? At that time, who will come to save you?"

Du Zhi was in a cold sweat, "Hey, how about fleeing to Shandong?" "Escape? The people of old Qin fled, implicated the nine clans, can you escape with the whole clan?" Du Zhi was silent for a while, and said angrily, "Could Wei Yang be suffocated to death?" Qian Long was silent for a while, and finally let out a long breath, leaning against the desk and beckoning, "You, come here." When Du Zhi approached, Qian Long said leisurely: "The general trend of Qin is hard to reverse. Ying Yang is one body, and his aspirations are hard to win. I can only wait and see the change. Maybe, God will give me a chance. Remember. , as long as he does not violate the law, this person will not touch us! He is the kind of person who enforces the law and understands reason, and only obeys the law. The hurricane destroys the tree, but only the grass remains. Be careful."

"The old grand master said that he took advantage of this person's weakness and lived in seclusion for a long time?" Old Qianlong nodded with his eyes closed. "This, are you sure?" Old Ganlong smiled coldly, and drew his voice contemptuously, "Go back and think about it for a living, how did that Yue King Goujian do it?... But there is fate, so how can there be no change in the world?" The completely new Daliang Zaofu stands on the west side of the Guofu, and it is full of festive atmosphere. The small street in front of the gate has been turned into a carriage and horse farm. The stone pillars to tie the horses are all tied with red cloth, and the parking lot is paved with rare all-green bricks.On the right side in front of the gate stands a tall Lantian Jade Stele, with four big characters standing out in front of your eyes—Quan and General!The same big book on the jade stele on the left - Gong Gai Guan Wu!In the middle of the archway are four big bronze characters - Daliang Zaofu.The archway and the gate behind are covered with huge red cloth flowers.Entering the gate, on the facing white jade screen wall, there is a magic beast carved from black jade, and on the back of the screen wall, there is a big "灋" character inlaid with black jade.The political affairs hall in the courtyard has been painted a new look, and the large characters on the gate have been replaced with "Daliang Zaozheng Hall".The Xiaokua courtyard, which used to be the residence of Wei Yang, has been expanded into a garden courtyard almost the same size as the main courtyard. The Xiaochishan Shiqingpine Stone Pavilion looks quiet and spacious.There is a large book on the forehead of the main room in the north, "Book and Sword Lishen", and the tops of the pillars on both sides have a copper character "Xiang" and "Rui", and the pillars are wrapped in red silk embroidered with golden phoenix.Since the story of "Phoenix Ming Qishan" spread in the period of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, Qin people, like Zhou people, regarded the phoenix as an auspicious bird and the highest wish for women's happiness.The living room on the east side of the main hall is now a luxurious and festive bridal chamber, with three copper characters "Song of Fengya" inlaid on the forehead.Wei Yang's study is still on the west side of the main hall, except for the renovation of the facade, there is no change here.

Hei Bo was appointed by Qin Xiaogong to oversee the repair and renovation of Daliang Zaofu.He said eight words to Hei Bo, "Demonstrating power, impregnating auspiciousness".He knew that Wei Yang never paid attention to superficial articles, let alone make his mansion look grand.But this is a need, the people of the country recognize this, and the elders of the family also recognize this, he just wants to make Wei Yang's Daliang made a mansion prestigious, and deter those hidden ambitions and conspiracies.Except for the slightly enlarged courtyard, this mansion does not have any expensive and extravagant ostentation. Its majesty mainly lies in the steles and characters that show power and nobility.However, it is precisely these things that ordinary ministers cannot inscribe on their own. They are the symbols of power and status framed by the monarch to the ministers.With inscribed conclusions such as "power and generals, merits cover Wu", can the people of the country not be in awe?Can courtiers and colleagues not look at each other with admiration?

In addition, Qin Xiaogong's even bigger move was to give Daliang a bronze car with a six-foot car cover and two hundred iron-clad knights as a guard of honor for patrolling, together with the original Mu Gongzhen Qin Jian, all of which are important. Strongly declare to the government and the public: Wei Yang's power is unshakable, and Qin's reform will not be shaken!However, Qin Xiaogong did not expect that after his death, these prestigious symbols of power became excuses for family ministers and Confucian scholars to attack Wei Yang. The grand wedding ceremony was finally held before the arrival of winter. On that day, people from Liyang and businessmen from the six countries were almost empty, and they flocked to the streets to witness the rare big wedding between powerful ministers in Qin State.The ministers of the aristocratic family went there in person because of the king's presence.When Princess Yingyu's red-knotted chariot and the convoy of the monarch and minister accompanying her to see off her relatives rumbled onto the street, the people of Liyang were excited for the beautiful and noble princess! "Long live the princess—!" The sound of the sound drowned out all the laughter.When Wei Yang, dressed in white and jade crowned, stood on a bronze chariot to welcome out the gate of the mansion, facing the princess dragged by a red dress, the simple Chinese were moved by the marriage of the god-like hero and beauty in front of them. I didn't know who took the lead, and the streets were full. The crowd danced and shouted "Princess Daliang Zao! Qin Guohong Fuzhao!" The people of the country regarded this beautiful and noble marriage as an auspicious omen for the prosperity of the country, and wept with joy, intoxicated. The two bands in front of Daliangzao's mansion played grand and peaceful gala music and sang with deep and clear harmony: On the long street, the people of the country were in harmony, and the singing of blessings resounded throughout Liyang.When a round of autumn moon drifted over the top of the Liyang Arrow Tower, although the night market in the city was still filled with the noise of Chinese people gathering and celebrating, Daliang Zaofu was already quiet. Yingyu wandered alone in the bridal chamber, she was very excited, the grand wedding ceremony during the day and the pious wishes of the Chinese people were still flowing in her heart.She was also terrified, and was at a loss for what to do when she was about to face the heroes and celebrities she had revered for a long time.Slowly tearing off the red silk that covered the bronze mirror, she looked at the flushed face in the bronze mirror, made a face to herself and murmured to herself, "He's here, what should I do?" Suddenly, there were clear footsteps behind her, and she He involuntarily covered his face and dared not turn around. "Princess, please rest first. Wei Yang has to go to the study to handle some urgent documents." Yingyu turned her head slowly, looked at the calm Wei Yang, and smiled quietly, "Like Confucius, so polite? Go, I'll wait for you." Wei Yang didn't speak any more, turned around and left. Yingyu saw her tears rolling in her eyes in the bronze mirror, she couldn't help pursing her mouth angrily, "Didn't you think about it? It's useless." She smiled, wiped her tears, and walked into the courtyard stroll.She looked at the ponds, rockery, pine trees, and stone pavilions in the courtyard, imagining how she would be the hostess here, and how she would recite beautiful poems with her husband here.After thinking about it, he smiled drunkenly.She walked lightly to the door of the study, looked in through the crack of the door, and saw Wei Yang sitting in front of the desk with deep frown, and the bamboo slips in hand were piled up more than a foot high.She was surprised to find that his face under the lamp didn't look as bright and bright as when he faced thousands of common people on a car under the sun; there were thick and deep wrinkles on his broad forehead, and his brows were locked in deep thought. Thin crow's feet extend out of the bright eyes, and the bridge of the handsome nose has a slight eagle hook, showing a kind of sternness that is difficult to offend; the lips that are not thick but wide are tightly closed, and the corners of the mouth stick out. Two deep cheek lines.It seems that too many vicissitudes of the world are hidden, the calm, indifferent and focused expression gives people a deep and secret that is difficult to peek... Yingyu suddenly remembered, when she saw Wei Yang in her elder brother's study, what a handsome and bright youthful face she had!Time flies, painstaking efforts, so that the youthful brilliance suddenly disappears!Suddenly, Yingyu couldn't help feeling a surge of heat in her heart.She left the study silently, staring at the west-slanting autumn moon for a long time alone.After a while, she floated to the door of the study again and knocked lightly. "Oh, please come in." Wei Yang obviously knew that servants would not knock on the door, his voice was flat and polite. "How about some hot wine? It's getting cold at night." Yingyu held a copper plate with a clay pot wrapped in cotton cloth on it, with a pure and sweet smile on her face. "Oh, okay." Wei Yang didn't seem to expect that the big goose feather brush in his hand was still marking on the bamboo slips. Yingyu lifted up her long skirt, knelt and sat on the side of the long table, poured out a bowl of steaming yellow rice thick wine from a clay pot, held it in front of Wei Yang with both hands, "Come on, big brother can drink half a jar at a time. "After Wei Yang took it over, she quickly turned on the burner, added a few pieces of charcoal, and looked at Wei Yang quietly, her face flushed, "How should I call you? Husband? Martingale Or..." Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head shyly, only his snow-white neck was facing Wei Yang. "What do you think?" Wei Yang didn't expect such a question, so he couldn't help laughing. "Where? Can I call your name?" Wei Yang's throat suddenly choked, and he remembered Bai Xue's expression, and felt Yingyu's innocence in a flash, "Call it, it's up to you." "Well, first, let's call you husband." "Okay." Wei Yang smiled, "Okay, another bowl. You go to rest first. I will finish these approvals. The construction of the new capital will start immediately, and it is urgently needed." "I know. I won't bother you." Yingyu smiled, but didn't leave. "Where is the new capital city? Can you show me there?" "Okay. The construction of the new capital will start after the spring, so I just want to go." "That's great." Yingyu stood up with a smile, "Then I'll go first." Then she left the study gently and closed the door gently. It was twilight, and when the sound of servants sweeping the court came from the courtyard, Wei Yang left the desk wearily, and hurried to the dormitory that was already a bridal chamber with flowers and candles.The thick red candle is still swaying in the windshield, and has condensed into a large tear knot, occasionally popping candles.Yingyu Heyi fell asleep leaning on the railing of the couch, with a bright smile on her face, but a thin teardrop in the corner of her eye. Wei Yang stood in a daze for a long time, couldn't help sighing softly, took his wide layered cloak, and gently draped it over her body.
