"No, absolutely not!" Zu An was furious when he heard this. What kind of joke are you kidding, asking Manman to go and get married?
Another courtier advised: "Everyone knows that the prince and the princess are deeply affectionate as brothers and sisters, but this time, for the sake of the entire country, please don't act out of anger."
Zu An directly pushed back: "If you want to go to the wedding, you can go there yourself, or let your daughter or sister go."
Next, many courtiers unilaterally criticized him for ignoring the overall situation with various righteousnesses in mind. No matter how eloquent Zu An was, he could not defeat so many old foxes who were immersed in the political arena.
Not only were they retreating steadily, but they were also morally criticized by everyone.
Seeing that Zu An was in trouble, a clear voice suddenly came from the door of the hall: "Let me do the marriage."
Everyone turned around and saw that it was the second princess Sancai. She had a strange look of determination on her face.
Zu An was shocked: "Sancai, what are you doing? There is nothing going on here."
Other ministers also whispered and shook their heads.
Sancai said directly: "What's wrong? Am I not a princess?"
The court was noisy and discussed for a while, and finally Shang Wang Wending made the decision: "Then let's go and get married in Sancai."
Then he sent envoys to the west to discuss the matter with Zhou, and it was settled.
After retreating from the court, Zu An and Pei Mianman asked San Cai anxiously: "Why do you want to take the initiative to propose a marriage? Do you know that marrying thousands of miles away is unpredictable, not to mention that it will ruin your life's happiness."
Sancai smiled slightly: "If I don't marry, should I let my sister go?"
Zu An took a breath and continued: "She can't go either. Even if she wants to get married, just find any noble woman. There is no need for you to intervene."
Sancai shook his head: "It's different. This time our country has encountered an unprecedented crisis. My father killed the lord of the Western Zhou Dynasty before. How can an ordinary woman calm the anger of the Zhou people? Only the princess can ease the relationship and let the two parties take action.
We, the Shang Kingdom, can concentrate on dealing with Huaiyi and avoid being attacked from both sides."
“Now the only princesses of the right age in the royal family are my sister and me. Since my sister doesn’t want to go, I have to go. As a princess, I have enjoyed fine clothes and fine food for so many years. Naturally, I should repay this country.”
Zu An was a little surprised. She didn't expect that she would have such an awareness at such a young age. Since ancient times, many children of princes and nobles have enjoyed the country's wealth and support since childhood, but on the other hand, they are unwilling to pay the corresponding obligations.
Such a comparison makes him and Pei Mianman somewhat eclipsed. However, since they are here for a trial, it is naturally impossible for them to have a deep sense of identification with this country.
Pei Mianman said in a deep voice: "There is no reason to let my sister sacrifice. Naturally, I, the older sister, will do it."
Zu An was anxious: "Manman!"
Pei Mianman gave him a reassuring look. With her experience and cultivation, she was confident that she would remain innocent in the Western Zhou Dynasty for a short time. As for the rest, we will talk about it later.
At this time Sancai laughed: "Sister, if you really get married, what will my brother do?"
Zu An and Pei Mianman were both startled: "Sancai, what are you talking about?"
Sancai sighed faintly: "Ever since I was little, you two have always put me to sleep, and then hugged each other and gnawed at me. Do you think I am a child and really don't know anything?"
Zu An: “……”
Pei Mianman: “……”
She glared at Zu An with shame, blaming this guy.
Sancai then said: "You two are in love, others don't know it, how can I, the younger sister, not know it? Although I don't know how you will end up in the future, how can I sit back and watch you being torn apart now."
Unexpectedly, she was doing it to fulfill the needs of the two of them. Zu An and Pei Mianman's eyes suddenly turned red, and they did not agree with her making such a sacrifice.
After hearing the two people's persuasion, Sancai also stopped smiling: "Brother, sister, you must not think that I am just doing it for you. Growing up, I have heard a lot of what you two talked about in confusion, but
We can know that in your hearts, the Zhou people in the west are definitely a serious threat to our Shang Kingdom and are likely to destroy us in the future."
"As a princess of the Shang Kingdom, I naturally cannot sit idly by. Unfortunately, I have been ignorant of anything since I was a child. I cannot compare with my brothers and sisters in all aspects. If my sister's strategy is to marry to the Western Zhou Dynasty, she will be our Shang Kingdom.
It's a huge loss. It would be more cost-effective for me to stay here and help Dashang, so that the three of us can work together to protect Dashang's centuries-old foundation."
Hearing her speaking so solemnly, Zu An and Pei Mianman finally understood that she was not impulsive, but the result of careful consideration.
"But this is too unfair to you. You have to sacrifice your life's happiness." Zu An and Pei Mianman advised together. The three of them grew up together, and their relationship was naturally very good. They really regarded her as their daughter.
My dear sister, I don't want to see her suffer even the slightest injustice.
Sancai smiled and said: "You may not be unhappy. After all, this time you are marrying the leader of the Zhou people. In terms of status, she is also the mother of a country. Besides, I heard that Ji Chang is a good man and handsome. Maybe when the time comes
If we truly fall in love, we can make him surrender to us completely."
"Ji Chang!" Zu An's head sank. Although Shang Dynasty was destroyed by King Wu Ji Fa in history, most of the foundations were laid by King Wen Ji Chang. Ji Fa only finished the work. How could such a person be killed by a woman?
Conquer.
Hearing his worries, Sancai shook his head: "Even if I can't conquer him, the worst I can do is give him ten or eight children. Humph, with my status, he can't let me be his concubine. In this way, my children will be
The heir to the Zhou Dynasty will be the nephew of the King of Shang, and the relationship between the two parties will be completely relaxed."
"This..." Zu An and Pei Mianman looked at each other, and it seemed that this plan was okay.
Not to mention the blood relationship, just say that San Cai's children were raised by her, and they must be pro-Shang in their hearts. If this continues for several generations, the Zhou people may really submit to the Shang Dynasty. There are many such successful cases in history.
.
This trial is not real history, so it might be possible to really pull the plug and let them pass the trial.
Sancai said with a smile: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you, I have a lot of things to do." After that, he jumped away.
Looking at her retreating figure, Pei Mianman sighed quietly: "We have not deliberately avoided her since childhood, so she listened to too many of our chats and subconsciously regarded Zhou as Shang's enemy, so
Only this time will I volunteer
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Go to get married.”
"I hope everything goes well." Zu An did not stop him after all. In his opinion, even if the trial failed and he and Pei Mianman died, it would not affect Sancai becoming the mother of the founding of the Zhou Dynasty. For her,
It's not necessarily a good thing.
Not long after, an envoy came to report that the Zhou people agreed to the marriage, and the newly appointed Marquis of Xibo, Jichang, went to the banks of the Weishui River to welcome the bride.
The merchant did not refuse. After all, the previous generation of Xibohou had just been lured to Yindu and killed. If he insisted on letting Ji Chang come to Yindu this time, who would dare to come?
So they sent someone to escort Princess Sancai to the Weishui River. Zu An volunteered to go to get married, and Pei Mianman also put on makeup and hid among the entourage.
We arrived at the Weishui River all the way. There must be no bridge on the Weishui River in this era. Who knew that Ji Chang had been prepared for it.
Zu An saw the boats on the Weishui River being connected like beams, and he was filled with emotion. This was probably the first pontoon bridge in history.
Meet Ji Chang. He is a polite and talented person. He is also quite handsome. He speaks with an extraordinary sense of freedom.
Zu An even had an impulse. If he directly killed the gravedigger of the Shang Dynasty at this time, would it change history?
However, he gave up the idea in the end. Not to mention whether Zhou people could kill him with layers of protection, even if he did, it would really be a fight to the death with Zhou.
The Huaiyi invaded in large numbers in the east. If the Zhou people in the west also came to take revenge in anger, it is estimated that the Shang Dynasty would be destroyed faster than in history.
There were some unpleasant things that happened during the whole wedding reception. Apparently many Zhou people were dissatisfied with the marriage. Some people who were sent to pick fruits came back with empty baskets and then made some weird remarks, implying that the Shang princess was destined to be childless in the future.
In addition, the Zhou people who prepared the meal deliberately did not bleed the sheep when killing them, making the mutton extremely fishy and difficult to swallow.
Zu An was furious, and Ji Chang hurriedly came out to apologize, and then asked someone to compose a song to apologize to San Cai: "Guan Guan Jiu Jiu, in the River Continent. A fair lady, a gentleman is so quarrelsome..." and then added this paragraph
The marriage was named "a match made in heaven".
Hearing this, Sancai smiled brightly, and the eyes he looked at him became softer. Even other people from the Shang Kingdom turned from anger to joy.
Zu An looked strange. He didn't expect that the most famous passage in the Book of Songs was addressed to his sister. He had to admit that Ji Chang had a good appearance, and he was really an old scumbag when he used poems to seduce girls.
Naturally, he could not be deceived by the other party's poem, but he knew that if he was angry for a while, he would be in trouble in the future, so he had no choice but to suppress his anger and turn the conflict into friendship with him.
During the break of the banquet, Sancai quietly found Zu An and said with a smile: "My good brother, are you still sulking?"
Zu An sighed quietly: "I always feel that the juicy cabbage that I watched grow up with my own eyes is about to be taken over by other men. Can I be happy?"
Sancai's face turned red: "If you weren't my brother, I wouldn't marry this Xibohou. It's a pity that I am not as courageous as my sister."
Zu An: “……”
Pi Mianman, who was hiding aside and eavesdropping: "..."
"Okay, I'm leaving," Sancai said with a smile, "Brother, is there anything you want to entrust me with?"
Zu An said in a deep voice: "Sancai, after just getting in touch with each other, putting aside the hostile stance, objectively speaking, this Ji Chang is also a great man of his generation. You don't have to think about helping Shang Guo all the time. Live with him in peace and contentment. Don't do it because of this."
things that have affected your happiness."
Sancai pursed her lips and said, "Just tell me this."
After speaking, he turned around and left, obviously a little dissatisfied.
But she finally turned around and whispered: "I wasn't attracted to that Ji Chang just now."
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry.
Zu An was confused and looked at Pei Mianman who was walking not far away: "What does she mean by this?"
Pei Mianman didn't say anything. Instead, he sighed quietly: "Love is the most hurtful thing."
…
On the second day, the wedding team left with Sancai. No matter how reluctant they were to leave, Zu An and Pei Mianman had no choice but to return to Yindu.
The next step is to help the "father" fight against the invading Huaiyi from the east.
Zu An and Pei Mianman went through various wars and state affairs in their previous life, so they are very familiar with these things again.
However, the two soon realized that there were indeed many problems in the Shang Dynasty. The national power was not as good as before, the bureaucracy was also in various ways, and Zuan faced various logistical constraints.
Pei Mianman also noticed that the combat effectiveness of the army was far inferior to that of the Wu Ding Dynasty's victorious army.
The two of them could only do their best, feeling that they could only be paper framers, trying their best to maintain the shaky country.
During this period, Sancai corresponded with them from time to time, chatting about home affairs, some about married life, some about the customs and customs in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and some about missing his hometown.
It also mentioned that Ji Chang was very kind to her, and the two of them felt a little more at ease.
The frequency of letters received became less and less. Although the two of them were surprised, they didn't think much about it. In addition, they had been busy with the war with Huaiyi and had no energy to care about it.
In several years of war, Zu An gradually stood out and became the unquestionable successor to King Shang.
After the death of Wen Ding, Zu An ascended the throne as the new King of Shang, and then together with Pei Mianman, finally pacified Huaiyi.
But at this time, I received news from the Western Zhou Dynasty that Sancai died due to dystocia.
When the two of them heard the news, they felt as if they were struck by lightning and couldn't believe it was true.
You must know that Pei Mianman died due to dystocia in the previous trial. Zu An was worried about making the same mistake again, so he also studied the knowledge of mass production and passed it on to Sancai. How could she die because of this?
They hurriedly sent spies to investigate, and soon the news came.
Ji Chang also married Taisi, the daughter of a nobleman from the Yousin State in Shaanxi Province, and made her his head wife.
Even in the land of the Zhou people, new songs were circulating, praising this marriage, and there were even lyrics about a match made in heaven.
Thought that my sister was originally the protagonist of this story, but was replaced by someone who stole the dragon and turned into a phoenix. After a few hundred years, who would still remember it?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Winning the Three Colors? You will only think that this Tai Si is the heroine who is a "match made in heaven".
Zu An was furious and decided to raise troops to attack the Western Zhou Dynasty, regardless of the opposition of his ministers. Firstly, he wanted to completely resolve this endless trial, and secondly, he wanted to avenge his dear sister.
Pei Mianman didn't stop her either. She was also full of anger. After all, they grew up together as sisters.
Just as the two were preparing to fight in person, the space suddenly became distorted in the next second.
When they woke up again, they found that they were no longer in the familiar palace, but in a strange place.
This is obviously also a palace, but its magnificence is far superior to the previous palace in Yindu.
Pei Mianman was nestling in his arms at this time. The two of them were sitting on a large and magnificent throne high up, watching a group of coolly dressed palace maids dancing there.
Rao is the old driver who reads a good color. At the moment, Zian also had a red ears and red ears. These maids were so exposed, and the dancing posture was particularly enchanting, as if the heavenly magic dance.
The sound of Mi Mi!
Zu An quickly came to his senses and looked at Pei Mianman.
Having experienced this once, the two of them calmed down a lot, asked the dancing maids to step aside, and then asked the maid next to them to ask.
Compared with the directness of Wu Ding's time, now the two of them ask questions much more skillfully, at least they will not make people suspect that they have lost their memory or something.
Soon they finally understood the situation here and their respective identities.
Zu An looked quite strange and looked at Pei Mianman blankly. After years of development, the world's textile industry has obviously made great progress.
Now she is wearing a gorgeous dress that also takes into account the convenience of a home nightgown. I don’t know who designed the clothes, but they can perfectly blend the two completely different feelings.
Now she is lying naturally on her side on the throne, and her thin dress vividly outlines the lines of her graceful and charming body.
Her affectionate peach blossom eyes seemed to have changed somewhat, becoming more narrow and elongated, like red phoenix eyes, with a special charm.
Coupled with those gorgeous red lips, the whole person has a vague and charming aura, which makes people want to hold her in their arms and play with her at a glance.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Pei Mianman's face turned red. Although the two had been together for so long, she still seemed to have the mentality of the girl she used to be.
Zu An sighed: "I didn't expect you and I to be those two people. I think this should be the last level of this trial. Whether you pass it or not will be decided in one fell swoop."
"Why are you so sure this is the last level?" Pei Mianman was stunned, "Is there any problem with the identities of these two people?"
“It’s a big problem,” Zu An sighed, “because in the world in my dream, they were the two most famous people in the Shang Dynasty, and they were household names.”
"So powerful?" Hearing that they were still in the Shang Dynasty, Pei Mianman breathed a sigh of relief. The two of them had been kings and queens of Shang for so long, and they were already familiar with the military and political system of the country, so they were more capable no matter what they encountered.
Confidence.
"Of course it's awesome, because you are Daji and I am King Zhou." Zu An felt mixed emotions. He didn't expect that they were the same two people in this world.
Have you tried so hard before, but you still can't change the outcome of the country's escape from the wheel of history? It seems that this trial is destined to fail.
For a moment, he didn’t even have time to complain that he had traveled through time and became his own son.
The father of King Zhou was Xian, who was him in the previous life.
“What’s going on?” Pei Mianman asked hurriedly.
Zu An sighed and told her the story of King Zhou and Daji.
Pei Mianman also looked weird after listening to it. He didn’t expect this character.
However, she immediately sensed Zu An's low mood and said hurriedly: "Azu, although I don't know whether the world in your dream is real or fake, we have experienced so much, and we can't completely accept our fate. As the saying goes, the world is fifty years old.
Yan Sijiu, one of the people escapes, even if the ending you said is true, we still have a glimmer of hope, it just depends on whether we can find that glimmer of hope."
Zu An was shocked: "Yes, we must not accept our fate until the last moment!"
With his fighting spirit rekindled, he felt refreshed and his mentality became much more relaxed.
Looking at the troubled beauty in his arms, Zu An couldn't help but smile and said: "Fox spirit."
“You are a debauched and foolish king.” Pei Mianman spat. After listening to the story he just told, she knew of course that Daji was the most famous vixen in history, and of course King Zhou was also synonymous with debauchery and immorality.
"I am promiscuous? Then I will show you how to do promiscuity." Zu An thought of the other person's current status as Daji, and felt both fear and excitement in his heart, so he turned over and pressed forward.
Pei Mianman's eyes were as charming as silk, and her jade arms gently hugged the man on her body: "He is indeed a foolish king. In his last life, he was raped by you since he was a child..."
The two of them have been trapped in this weird trial for too long, and they have accumulated all kinds of negative emotions in their hearts. If they didn't express these words often, they would have gone crazy.
After the storm passed, the two of them began to think seriously about what to do next. Suddenly, a palace maid came to announce: "Ji Boyikao, the eldest son of Xibohou, has come to pay homage to the king!"
ˆ---
Today the two chapters were published together.
In addition, it is recorded in "The Book of Songs, Daya, and Ming Dynasty": In the early years of King Wen's reign, it was a match made in heaven. In the Yang of Qia, in the water of Wei. King Wen Jiazhi, a great state has a son. A great state has a son, and the sister of the heaven is the sister of the heaven. Wen
Ding Jue Xiang, personally welcomes the Wei. Build the boat as a beam, but do not show its glory...
Also, everyone used to watch the Tianlong Babu TV series. Lingbo Weibu’s formula is "Gui Mei Qi Wu Wu". Many martial arts TV series have the position of Gui Mei. In fact, the word "Gui Mei" comes from the "Book of Changes"
Records: Emperor Yi returned to his sister.
Di Yi is the father of King Zhou.
The mainstream of history books believe that Ji Chang's wife Taisi was the daughter of Shen State. Although Shen State had a close relationship with Shang, it was really reluctant to call her the daughter of a big country and the sister of Tian.
In addition, there are many references in the Book of Songs to the married women of the Shang Kingdom, so a few scholars have proposed that the match made in heaven actually refers to Emperor Yi's sister.
I have processed it here and adopted the latter statement. Then the Zhou people deliberately used the later Taisi to erase the existence of the Shang princess, and applied the deeds of the Shang princess to Taisi.
