Go to ancient times and engage in construction

Under the leadership of Prince Zhao, the feudal lords passed through the gate of the inner palace, and a solemn stone-based blue brick palace stood in front of everyone.In front of the palace, there are two rows of burly and sturdy tiger guards. Their height is generally more than 170 centimeters.These tigers are all of noble blood and are the elites of Wu.

Stepping up the nine stone steps, you will come to the main entrance of the main hall.The hall is more than ten meters high, and there are bronze ornaments hanging on the four cornices. The ornaments sway gently with the breeze, and there is a crisp "ding dong".The entrance of the main hall is paved with smooth white rocks, and the interior of the hall is paved with patterned blue bricks.In the north of the main hall, there is a seven-step wooden platform about two meters high. On the wooden platform is a table carved from a whole piece of black jade, and behind the table is a low bed made of nanmu.In front of the table is a three-foot-high green bronze tripod, and the aroma is wafting from the tripod.The hall has a large space and can accommodate more than 300 people standing.

An old man with sparse eyebrows, a gray beard, a thin face, and a medium build who looks to be nearly 60 years old. He is wearing a black dragon and phoenix jacket with a diamond pattern, and a white jade beaded nine-pointed crown on his head. He is sitting on a black jade desk. low bed behind.Around the wooden platform stood waiters and maids with bowed heads.On both sides of the main hall stood Hushi General, Wenzai, Doctor Jiang, Taifu and other important officials of the royal court.

Looking at the things in the hall with the eyes of modern people, the black jade table is the dragon table, and the low bed is the throne. In fact, the throne of later generations evolved from the low bed.The pattern of turkey and lobster on Wu Wang's deep clothes is the prototype of the dragon and phoenix of later generations.

Under the guidance of Prince Zhao, the feudal lords entered the palace according to their seniority, and went to the throne of King Wu one by one to greet them.The first to step forward was Xihou, who was the oldest and most senior.

"Veteran sees the king!" Xihou brought his dull-witted son Kun and the fief nobles to salute the King of Wu according to the highest standard of ceremony.

"Uncle Wang, please get up quickly! It's enough for the whole family to perform family rituals." King Wu stood up, as if reaching out to help, the waiter under the wooden platform saw it, and hurried forward to help Xihou who was kneeling on the ground to get up.

Standing at the entrance of the main hall, Beihou, who was waiting to see the ceremony, couldn't help curling his lips when he saw Xihou's meticulous gift.He and Xihou are the elders of the King of Wu. Although they are courtiers, they are not allowed to perform such a grand ceremony, and can perform ordinary salutes.But the pedantic Xihou used big gifts every time, so Beihou had no choice but to follow suit.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for giving me your seat." With the support of the attendant, Xihou got up slowly, looking old-fashioned.

When King Wu saw Xihou's trembling appearance, and then looked at the stupid son beside Xihou, he couldn't help feeling pity in his heart.

"Reward the seat of Xihou Shizi." As soon as King Wu showed mercy, Xihou Shizikun got a seat.

"This is the treasure of the fief, and the old minister respectfully presents it to the king." Xihou's tribute seemed a bit shabby, a dozen old ginseng from the mountains, and six pieces of jade that were not too big or small.

"Uncle Wang has spent the money." King Wu glanced at the tribute, without any hesitation on his face, he just waved his hand for the waiter to take it.

After seeing the ceremony and presenting the tribute, Xihou took his son to sit on the chief seat on the lower left side of the wooden platform next to him.The nobles of the Xihou fief knelt and sat behind the fief lord.

"The old minister has seen the king!" Although Beihou was reluctant to bow, but Xihou had already taken the lead, so he had to bow down according to the ceremony.

"Beihou, please get up! Gudu said, as long as the family ceremony is enough." Wu Wang didn't get up this time, but just smiled and asked the waiter to help him.

"The veteran entered the capital this time and brought six horses to present to the king." Beihou's fief is close to Zhao State and is rich in horses.

"Oh, where is it? Bring it here and show it to Gu." Wu Wang Xiwu, warriors basically like horses.

Beihou's face was full of color, and he waved his hands to go down outside the hall to bring the horse.The horses presented by Beihou were carefully selected.Beihou led six horses into the hall one by one. These six horses were selected in color. There were two pure black, two pure white, and two brown-red horses. These six horses were thick and strong, with limbs Solid and powerful, with long and loose mane hair.Every horse was brought in to arouse the admiration of the people.Chu Zhaohui glanced at the horse, and then at the fat Beihou, feeling an itch in his heart, why didn't Dacheng produce horses?

Through the pearls and jades, King Wu looked at the six rare BMWs, and felt only distressed. The fief of Beihou, because of the birth of horses, was only a fertile fief on the coast of the East China Sea, but was granted to the youngest son by the previous king. If he couldn't see the horse, he wouldn't feel bad if he couldn't remember it. Now that these six horses were in front of him, it was like tearing at the bottom of his heart.

"Uncle Wang's feudal BMW is rare in Daqin." King Wu felt distressed, but nodded frequently, his face full of joy.

Beihou is proud, and the horses on his fief are very famous in the Central Plains.Beihou lived happily by trading horses with surrounding countries.

"With good horses, there is a good army. The horses raised in Uncle Wang's town are getting stronger and stronger. I think there will be fifty more horses for tribute every year. In this way, my great Wu can have more chariots to defend the country. "

Beihou's complacent look disappeared immediately. This was a slap on the horse's feet, and the annual tributes did not decrease but increased.

Beihou sat down in his seat with his head downcast, annoyed in his heart that he chose the BMW to contribute.Because of Beihou's lesson from the past, the three concubines of King Wu were trembling when they offered gifts, for fear that King Wu would also increase the tribute to them.

Fortunately, the fiefdoms of these three lords were not very eye-catching, King Wu spoke kindly to them and asked them to sit next to them.

"Your servant Guang pays homage to father and king!" The last one is Young Master Guang, Young Master Guang is a junior, and the elders in front of him have already bowed, so he has to do it even more.Behind Young Master Guang were Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, followed by nobles such as Wei Shen and Chen Meng.

"It's Guang'er!" King Wu looked down from a height, and saw that his bastard had grown into a handsome man. "Come in front of Gu!" Wu Chao waved to Young Master Guang. Although this son was forgotten by him, when the son was in front of him, the little blood and family affection in Wu Wang's heart came to life.

"Yes! Father!" Young Master Guang stood up on the wooden platform and knelt down at King Wu's feet.After leaving the royal capital for ten years, now that he sees his father who is obviously getting older, the eyes of the young master turn red.

"Guang is so high. When you left the capital, you were still a child." Wu Wang stroked the face of Young Master Guang. This face, which resembled Wei Ji, aroused Wu Wang's memories of the past.He had many happy times with the gentle and beautiful Wei Ji.

"Guang misses his father every day in Dacheng." Young Master Guang's voice choked.

"Little birds always leave their parents when they grow up." King Wu was infected by his son, his eyes began to turn red, and his heart softened when he got old.

"My son brought a few novelty presents to my father this time." Young Master Guang leaned at King Wu's feet and didn't want to leave. King Wu was also immersed in warmth, holding his son's hand and looking at him constantly.

"What is it?"

"A carriage with four wheels, and paper for writing."

"Paper?" King Wu had never heard of paper.

"Paper can replace brocade and silk for writing." Young Master Guang turned his head and asked the waiter of Dacheng to bring the paper up first.

"This paper looks good, similar to brocade." Wu Wang touched the paper, it was thin and smooth, such things should be as valuable as brocade, right?Even if the function can be replaced and the value is equivalent, it still cannot be popularized.

"Paper is very cheap, it only needs to be made from rotten bark, and it can be widely used." Gongziguang said the potential value of paper.

"Oh, it only needs bark to make?" Wu Wang was amazed, the rough brown bark can be turned into white smooth thin paper, which is too unimaginable.

"Your Majesty! Can you let me read the paper?" The Taifu who was sitting next to him was very interested in paper, so he got up and asked King Wu to salute.

"Yes!" A waiter of the Wu Dynasty waved his hand: "Pass the paper to Mr. for a closer look." The Taifu is a famous person in the Wu Kingdom, and the King of Wu respects him very much.

The Tai Tuo took the paper and looked at it carefully, nodded repeatedly, and Wen Zai and some civil servants on the side also surrounded him.

"Who thought of the way of making this?" Seeing his civil servants surrounding the white paper, King Wu couldn't help admiring him, so he couldn't help asking the craftsman who made the white paper, and planned to let this craftsman enter the capital and make it for the palace in the capital.

"It's Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui, the governors of Nanbu. They are from overseas. They drifted to the territory of my ministers because of the storm. The four-wheeled carriage was also made by the craftsmen with their ideas." Young Master Guang took Zheng Yuming and Zheng Yuming together like a treasure. Chu Chaohui introduced it to King Wu.

"Overseas people? Which two are they?" King Wu looked under the wooden platform through the pearls and jade, and there were still a group of nobles from Dacheng kneeling in front of the wooden platform.

"Nanbu Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui pay homage to the King." Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui had no choice but to salute again.

"Get up without courtesy!"

Hearing Wu Wangrang's order to get up, everyone in Dacheng hurriedly got up, their legs were numb from kneeling.

As soon as Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui stood up, they looked particularly eye-catching in the hall.

"Before you come to the lonely seat, you have to take a closer look." Wu Wang's eyes were a little dim, and he only saw a slender figure and a stalwart figure.The two stood there side by side, exuding a distinctive aura.

Zheng Yuming's legs were numb, but he could only resist the discomfort in this kind of place. He raised his needle-like legs and moved towards the wooden platform. Chu Chaohui walked behind Zheng Yuming calmly.

When Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui stood under the wooden platform, King Wu saw their faces clearly, and he stared at Zheng Yuming intently.

"You, come to the throne." King Wu pointed to Zheng Yuming.

"Yes!" Zheng Yuming was taken aback, not understanding why King Wu had already seen him clearly, so why did he want him to go up the wooden platform.Chu Chaohui watched Wu Wang with his mouth pursed, and found that Wu Wang looked a little puzzled.

When Zheng Yuming walked to the wooden platform, King Wu glanced up and down, and suddenly he found the jade ornament on Zheng Yuming's waist. "Ming'er! Are you an orphan Ming'er?"

As soon as King Wu said this, both Gongzi Guang and Zheng Yuming were stunned.

"Father, Yu Ming's family is overseas, he is not Ming." Young Master Guang quickly explained to King Wu.

"You look so much like Ming Tai! How old are you this year?" King Wu looked at Zheng Yuming, and then at his son Gongzi Guang. The more he looked, the more he felt that Zheng Yuming resembled San'er.

Hearing what King Wu said, Young Master also turned his head to stare at Zheng Yuming, recalling the younger brother's appearance in his mind. After making such a comparison, he suddenly found that Zheng Yuming's facial features were really similar to Ming's.

"I am 16 this year." After Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui knew that they were growing slowly, they both chose to lower their age. Zheng Yuming looked eighteen or nineteen years old. He only said that he was [-] years old, and Chu Chaohui was in his early twenties. just say.

"My Ming is sixteen." Wu Wang pinched his fingers and calculated that his third son will live to this day, and he will be 16 years old. "The carp jade ornament on your waist was carved by an orphan." King Wu's eyes turned red when he thought of his third son who died young.Among his five sons, San'er Ming is his favorite. Ming is not only outstanding in appearance, but also has a high level of understanding. King Wu often uses the son of heaven to describe this son.

"Father, this carp jade ornament is mainly for me to find Yuming." Young Master Guang immediately recalled that the jade ornament accidentally appeared among the jade ornaments that he was going to give to Zheng Yuming.

"I'm really not Mr. Ming." Zheng Yuming was sweating profusely, not to mention that it was the blue light transmission that brought him to this time and space.His birth certificate in the 21st century is complete, and he looks very similar to his parents, half like Zheng's mother and half like Zheng's father. Zheng Yuming can guarantee that he is not adopted.And when he was six years old, his memory was very complete, and he followed his grandfather around all day long.

"Isn't it really Ming?" King Wu sighed, "If Ming were to be this big, he would be so noble and handsome."

After the King of Wu called out the name 'Ming', the ministers on both sides of the throne talked a lot. Many of them didn't remember the six-year-old child, but both Zheng Yuming and Gongzi Guang were handsome, and there were many similarities between handsome people, so They also nodded, thinking that Zheng Yuming looked very similar to the two brothers, Gong Ziguang.
