Days are everlasting

Chapter 34 Candidates

Ji Bofu didn't want to get married, but he couldn't get over the teary-eyed stupid father and the smiling beauty, so he finally agreed.

Yes, in order for him to get married, his beautiful lady, that Baosi who in unofficial legends needed "beacon fire opera princes" to win a smile, actually smiled—although it was the kind of smile that makes people panic when they look at it.

Stupid father also gave up the majestic image of King Zhou, and became a little public servant who loves to chatter.

Ji Bofu: What can I do?I am also very desperate!

People with the same surname are not married, and you have to choose a partner in the vassal states. Ji Bofu's options are actually very narrow. The so-called "71 countries, 53 people with the surname Ji" is not a joke!

In foreign countries with the surname Ji, there are vassal states with surnames such as Jiang, Wei, Si, Zi, and Ying. The royal family of Zong Zhou and Qi State passed marriage in the era of King Wu, but later King Yi cooked and killed Duke Ai of Qi, and Zhou and Qi turned against each other until King Xuan. Another king of Zhou married a daughter of Qi as his queen.

Instead of Qi State, the one who "married for the world" with Zong Zhou royal family became Shen State.

Nanshen is over, and there is Xishen.

Ji Bofu didn't want to marry Shen's daughter again, not even a girl surnamed Jiang.

There is no way, hearing this surname, he is now panicking both psychologically and physically.

Except for the Jiang surname, the rest of the vassal states are not considered strong, so the vassal states with the Ji surname, except those who have good friends with the neighboring vassal states with different surnames for generations, tend to marry women with the Jiang surname.

Ji Bofu said that it is better for him to marry a wife in a different way.

The country with the surname of Gui is after Shun, the country with the surname of Si is after Yu, and the country with the surname of Zi is after Tang. They are all descendants of ancient sages and sages.

In the end, Ji Bofu roughly determined two goals: Chen Guo with the surname of Gui, and Deng Guo with the surname of Zi.

The largest son’s surname should be called Song and the duke, but Song is actually a country that is rejected by many princes. A very clear example is the mocking idiom similar to "buy the box and return the pearl" in later generations. The protagonist is either People from vassal states far away from the Central Plains, such as Wu Yue and Chu, were either from the Song Dynasty.

Although Ji Bofu is a descendant of King Wu of Zhou, and now enjoys the benefits of becoming the co-lord of the world after Zhou destroyed Shang, but as a descendant of time traveler, Wei Ziqi, the last emperor of Shang who was the leading party for Zhou Jun, The elder brother of Xin and the ancestor of the Song Dynasty—Ji Bo obeyed his heart and expressed his contempt.

Unlike Song State, Deng State's social status is still quite high today.

Deng Guo originated from Shang Wang Wu Ding who named his uncle, who was named Marquis in the Shang Dynasty. At the end of Shang Dynasty and the beginning of Zhou Dynasty, the whole family moved south, and Zhou named him a Viscount.During the Cheng and Kang Dynasties, Mr. Deng was called "Bo". After the mid-Western Zhou Dynasty, any inscription on the tripod that mentioned Mr. Deng must be called "Gong", which shows that Deng's status is not low.The royal family also had many contacts with Deng Guo.

Ji Gongyan thought very openly, didn't he just not set up a queen with the surname Jiang, he still abolished her after marrying Jiang and changed her to Baosi!

Ji Bofu: Daddy, you don't have to be so proud of you being a scumbag.

As for the state of Chen, it is not so famous now, but in later generations, the son of Lord Chen Li would go to Qi due to civil strife, and then in the middle of the Warring States period, the descendants took 300 years to finally usurp the power of the state of Qi, replacing Qi for the Tian family.

In the end, Ji Gongzhen and others made a calculation, and finally decided to marry Deng Nu as his wife for Ji Bofu.

Deng Guowei's surname is Deng, and Ji Bofu calculated that his wife should be called a certain son...

Because he came from the State of Deng, he can be called Deng Zi, but according to his family ranking, he should roughly be called Bo Zi/Mencius or Ji Zi. The picture is so beautiful, he really dare not think about it!

Of course, this embarrassing question is left for others to worry about, anyway, Ji Bofu didn't use this title himself.

The etiquette of Dazhou has a set of strict and complete rules for the wedding. Before welcoming in person, Na Cai, asking the name, Na Ji, Na Zheng, and asking for a date are all necessary steps. A special organization prepares these things for Ji Bofu.

Ji Bofu is now fifteen years old and has not yet been crowned, so another reason his father asked him to marry a wife is to crown him in advance.

Ji Bofu has already become the king of Xuanguo, so it is also possible for Ji Gongyu to crown him in advance.

Of course, these things can be put aside now, anyway, Ji Bofu doesn't need to prepare it himself, he just needs to check the progress at any time, and his dear father is more concerned about this than him.

The most important thing now is for Ji Bofu to shoot some wild geese himself.

Among the six ceremonies, except Nazheng—that is, the man sends the bride price to the woman's home—the rest of the five rites require the use of wild geese.

Wedding is a gift among the five rites of auspiciousness, auspiciousness, military, guest, and honor in the Great Zhou Dynasty. It has always been valued by people, especially the nobles.

The wedding, originally called it should be the evening ceremony, because according to the regulations, the evening ceremony is held at dusk, whichever is the alternation of yin and yang has a gradual meaning.

The significance of the existence of wild geese is the same as the selected time of the evening ceremony. Wild geese migrate north and south due to the weather changes in winter and spring. Using wild geese as a ceremony also symbolizes the meaning of Yin and Yang.

Ji Bofu's strength is not very strong, but at least he has not missed all kinds of schoolwork these years, and he has studied hard, so it is still very easy to shoot down a few relatively complete geese.

His father laughed loudly, saying that he deserves to be my son, Ji Bofu just wanted to ask him, Father, are you not guilty of saying this at all?

The thing is like this, Uncle Ji took his cheap elder brother Ji Yijiu, a good young man who complied with the etiquette norms of this era to get crowned and married on time, and married Ji Guo's daughter as his wife.

Since I was young, I hoped that my performance would be better than that of my younger brother who was many years younger, so Ji Yijiu's shooting skills were also very good. His shooting skills are dismissive.

And to be honest, even though Ji Guo is also surnamed Jiang, Ji Bofu deeply felt that even in the matter of choosing a wife, his father was still embarrassing Brother Cheap.

It's really hitting him all the time!

Ji State, Jiang's surname is Ji's. Although it is the same country with the Jiang surname as Qi State, the relationship between the two countries is not good.

Because their lands are too close, and Ji is weak and Qi is strong.

At the time of King Yi of Zhou, Ji Jun Ji Yanghou Jin slandered him, so King Yi killed Duke Ai of Qi, and appointed Duke Ai's half-brother as Lord Qi, who was Duke Hu of Qi.

After Ai Gong's same mother and younger brother, that is, the father of Wu Gong, killed Hu Gong and set things right, of course he wanted to seek revenge from Ji Guo.

Although the son of Duke Li, Duke Li, was overthrown by the people of the country because he was too cruel soon after succeeding to the throne, Duke Hu and his sons had all died in battle. , but it is still much better than Ji Guolai.

As for the State of Ji, not only is its military strength weak, but its closeness to the royal family is also inferior to that of the State of Qi.

Duke Wu of Qi married his daughter to King Xuan of Zhou to show the goodness of Qi Zhou. After all, they are also relatives, right?And Qi State has now stabilized.

No matter how you look at it, Ji Guo is going to be unlucky in the future. Even if they are not unlucky now, with such a strong neighbor as Qi Guo by their side, even if they want to give Ji Yijiu any help, let alone Ji Yijiu Yijiu's nephew Shen Guo came, Ji Guo was really weak.

Ji Bofu was a prince and the son of the king of Zhou, so he got married in two places, one was in the palace of Kaiyi, the capital of Xuandu, and the other was in Haojing, the capital of Zong Zhou.

According to Ji Gongyan's thinking, of course it is better for his son to get married in Haojing, but Ji Bofu is not very happy.

Brother Cheap has been reinstated as the prince according to his plan, and there is only one word for his current daily life experience - life is better than death.

This time when he came back, Brother Cheap did not react when he saw him. Ji Bofu was really worried that he would go west of Hexi at some point.

The point is that Ji Yijiu has no son now. Once he dies, the one who inherits the crown prince will become Ji Bofu. Even if his beautiful mother has another younger brother, it will be useless. It is finally achieved "being a prince during the Western Zhou Dynasty". Ji Bofu was not happy about the target.

And if Ji Yijiu has a son, that would be great. Ji Bofu can choose to "resign" and let Ji Yijiu's son inherit the throne of Zhou King.

Zong Zhou declined from the time of King Yi or even earlier. After all, according to the laws of history, the time from the rise to the fall of a dynasty is only two or three hundred years. King's name.

Moreover, whenever a dynasty is about to decline, there will always be frequent natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, droughts, etc. The Little Ice Age always arrives on time at such times.

Since the late period of King Xuan, all kinds of strange natural phenomena have appeared in Zong Zhou. Shortly after his father Ji Gongyan succeeded to the throne, there were frequent catastrophes. Those visions can also be said to be a warning from God that there will be an unfilial king of Zhou in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After all, the last Zhou king of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the king of subjugation is the fault of Ji Gongsun.

But now Ji Gongzhen is still alive and well, and the throne of Zhou King will be passed on. Ji Bofu doesn't want to take the blame, and he is very brotherly. Brother took the blame.

If Ji Bofu got married in Haojing, his father would probably make the scene like a prince and make the whole royal city celebrate.

Since Ji Yijiu was restored to power, he hasn't expressed much opinion, but has become a sullen person, holding everything in his heart. Ji Bofu is really worried that if he gets married in Haojing, his brother will be able to live with him. mad.

So in the end, under Ji Bofu's arguments, his wedding was still held in Kaiyi, Xuandu.

The author has something to say: "Established 71 countries, 53 people with the surname Ji lived alone" comes from Xunzi, so the stupid author is not very sure about the total number of vassal states in the Western Zhou Dynasty...but it is still possible to be sure that most of the surnames are Ji.

Gui [gui sound] is a descendant of Shun, Si is a descendant of Yu, and is also the surname of the royal family of the Xia Dynasty. The descendants of these people are here, it is hard to say that King Wu of Zhou can find these people!

Speaking of why Ji Gongzhen likes his youngest son and wants to set him up, I actually came up with the answer when I checked the information [No! ], the answer is that he learned from his father Zhou Xuanwang!

In the spring of the ninth year of Duke Wu of Lu (817 BC), Duke Wu of Lu, his eldest son Kuo, and his youngest son Xi went west to meet King Xuan of Zhou.King Xuan of Zhou loved Gongzixi and wanted to make Gongzixi the crown prince of Lu, but his ministers persuaded him, but he refused to listen and insisted on making Gongzixi the crown prince of Lu.Duke Wu of Lu died of illness shortly after his return. Prince Xi took the throne as Duke Lu Yi, and Prince Kuo's son Bo Yu killed the king in the ninth year of Duke Lu Yi and became self-reliant as Duke Abandoned.In the 11th year of Duke Fei of Lu, King Xuan led his army to attack the State of Lu, killed Duke Fei, and established Duke Lu Yi with his mother and younger brother.

The chaos in Lu State was caused by King Zhou Xuan's decision to set up the youngest son. After that, Ji Gongzhen followed suit... Well, father's education is very important!
