General Zhao Yunchu drove into Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty. The sun sets over the long river, and the yellow sand fills the sky. General Zhao Yunchu sat on a carriage and galloped across the vast land, entering Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty. In the city is the street market. Zhao Yunchu sat in the car, driving slowly and looking around. Under the governance of Xiaoyi's disciple Zizheng, Zhoudu has restored its former prosperity, but there are still some idle insects coming and going. The street extends to both sides of the city, all the way to the quieter suburbs outside Zhoudu. However, among the passers-by on the street, some were carrying burdens, some were driving ox carts to deliver goods, and some were driving donkeys to pull goods. Cars and horses rumbled, and the stream flowed endlessly. General Zhao Yunchu looked at this bustling market, buzzing with the buzz of insects, and sighed inwardly: "Is this still Luoyi, the capital of Zhou? The prosperity of its streets can surpass Linzi of Qi State."
General Zhao Yunchu entered the palace of Zhou Dynasty, met Emperor Zhou, and knelt down and said: "Emperor." Emperor Zhou looked at General Zhao Yunchu and said, "General, he is an envoy of the State of Zhao who is on an envoy to the capital of Zhou." General Zhao Yunchu raised his eyes. Looking at it, he said: "Exactly." The Emperor of Zhou asked again: "Sir was summoned by your King Zhao, why don't you see him return to the capital of Zhou?" General Zhao Yunchu replied: "Sir, you have been enthroned as the king of our Zhao Kingdom. Emperor Zhou said happily: "Sir, he is proficient in Zhou etiquette, and he must rule the country with etiquette. I am very relieved." He then looked at the ministers standing on both sides. These ministers stood behind General Zhao Yunchu, and they all commented: "The generals of the State of Zhao know etiquette, so the monarchs and ministers of the State of Zhao must be the same way." General Zhao Yunchu said: "That's it." Emperor Zhou said: "General, please stand up." General Zhao Yunchu then stood up and kowtowed. "Thank you, Emperor." The Emperor of Zhou smiled and said, "Why did the Zhao envoy come to my Zhou capital?" General Zhao Yunchu said, "The king's family members are still in Zhou capital, and the foreign ministers are here to welcome the king's family members back to Zhao. Yes." Emperor Zhou immediately agreed and said: "Okay, we should return to Zhao and reunite with our husband. General, please retreat to the post house to rest. Let me discuss it with the ministers." General Zhao Yunchu bowed. He bowed and said, "The foreign ministers have resigned." Then he left the Zhou Palace.
Emperor Zhou looked at the ministers standing under the main hall and said happily: "Sir, you are the king of Zhao. This is great." After talking about it, these ministers stepped forward and said: "Xiao Yi has restored Zhou etiquette in his life, and now He is the king of the Zhao Kingdom and will restore my Zhou family. What should the other vassal states fear?" The emperor said: "This is the tragedy of the great Zhou Dynasty. The Zhou family's country, country and country can now comfort the Ancestral Temple." After a while, the emperor said He also said: "King Zhao sent envoys to me, the capital of Zhou, and they were so polite. We should reciprocate the courtesy and congratulate Xiao Yi on becoming the king." He then looked at Zhou Du Zai Zi Zhengdao: "Zhou Du Zai." Zhou Du Zai Zizheng stood up, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty." Emperor Zhou said: "You are a disciple of Xiao Yi, and now Xiao Yi is the king of Zhao. You are sent as an envoy to Zhao to congratulate Xiao Yi on his enthronement and escort him." The family members of the ants return to Zhao." Zhou Duzai kowtowed and said: "I obey the decree." Then he left the Zhou palace.
Zhou Duzaizi was driving towards the place where the eldest princess lived, and his wife should be the first to tell the good news. Stopping in front of the courtyard gate, he stepped forward and pushed open the courtyard door, running in and shouting from the left and right: "Master's wife, Master's wife." Seeing the eldest princess walking out, he said: "Zizheng." Zizheng stepped forward and knelt down, looked at the eldest princess and said: "Eldest princess, disciple Zizheng is polite." The eldest princess stood in front of Zizheng and said, "Zizheng, please get up. There is no need to be so restrained." Zizheng stood up and said hello: "How is your master lately?" The princess said: "Okay, not bad, Zizheng, let's talk after we enter the hall." Zizheng helped the eldest princess into the hall and said: "Master, please sit down." The eldest princess sat in front of the table and said: "Zizheng Ah, you should sit down too." Zi Zheng said, "Okay." Then he knelt down and sat beside him. The eldest princess asked: "Are you an envoy from Zhao who entered the court today?" Zi Zheng said: "Exactly." The eldest princess said with some worry: "Your husband has been in Zhao for some time and has not returned yet, right? King Zhao left it in the palace of Zhao, or did your husband do something in Zhao?" Zi Zheng said: "Master, my husband is the king of Zhao now, and he sent envoys to the capital of Zhou to welcome you back to Zhao. ." The eldest princess muttered: "It actually inherited the throne of Zhao. How is this possible?" Still unwilling to believe it, she returned to her calmness and said: "It is a descendant of the nobles of the Zhao Kingdom. Since he is a brother of the same clan as the Zhao Kingdom, , the blood of the Zhao family flows in it. King Zhao had no heirs, so he gave up the throne to his clan brother. I know, he will inherit the throne when he returns."
Zhao Li's voice came from outside the door, calling: "Mother, mother." The eldest princess stood up and walked forward, saying, "It's Li'er who's back." She walked to the door of the courtyard and looked. Zhao Li stepped into the courtyard gate, stood up and called: "Mother." The eldest princess said: "Li'er, you came back so early today." Zhao Li said anxiously: "Mother, I heard that my father became the king of Zhao. King, let's go back to the Kingdom of Zhao together." The eldest princess said reproachfully: "Li'er is still so impatient. Quickly salute your uncle." Zhao Li stepped forward and kowtowed and said, "Uncle." The eldest princess said Standing aside, he said: "Look at this child, he has even forgotten the etiquette." Zi Zheng said: "Master's wife, Li'er is still a child. You will understand later." Then he turned around and said: "Li'er, don't be impatient, it's inappropriate. It's about etiquette. You and your mother have to go into the palace to say goodbye to His Majesty. This is in line with etiquette, Li, are you clear?" Zhao Li said, "I know all this, but the etiquette is too complicated." Zizheng said. : "There are three powerful families in the State of Lu, which are superior to the king. The father of Meng Sun He Ji, Meng Sun Xi, was scorned by other princes because of his lack of etiquette. When he was dying, he brought his two sons Nangong Jingshu and He Ji. , worshiped Confucius as his teacher and learned etiquette. The essence of etiquette is to be rude and disrespectful. Li, you have to remember this sentence." Zhao Li looked at Zi Zheng and said, "Uncle, I have remembered it."
The eldest princess took her son Zhao Li into the Zhou Palace to bid farewell to the Emperor of Zhou. Emperor Zhou came forward and said, "Sister, you are here." The eldest princess and Zhao Li knelt down together and said, "Your Majesty." Emperor Zhou helped her up and said, "Sister, please get up quickly." The eldest princess stood up and looked at where she was standing. In front of Emperor Zhou, Zhao Li stood aside and said, "Uncle." Emperor Zhou looked at Zhao Li again, and said with some relief: "I see Li'er, his bravery can equal the strength of thousands of troops, and he is nothing like you. "Father." Zhao Li was so pleased with himself that he couldn't stand the praise from other insects. The eldest princess looked at Zhao Li, who was standing aside, and said: "Li'er is still very young. His father left him when he was born, and it took more than ten or twenty years for him to come back. Li is under the influence of his father. The impact is relatively small. Carp has been fond of martial arts since he was a child. He has practiced swordsmanship with his uncle since he was a child. When he became an adult, he began to lead troops and train. He is more brave and less scholarly like his father." Emperor Zhou agreed. The princess kept nodding her head at these words. Then the eldest princess said again: "Your Majesty, Li'er and I entered the palace to say goodbye to Your Majesty." Emperor Zhou said: "I already know about this matter. Originally, I wanted to keep my sister for one more night, but I was afraid that Zhao would envoy I'm anxious to wait. Sister, take care along the way." He looked at Zhao Li and said, "Li'er, when you return to Zhao Kingdom, say hello to your father for me." Zhao Li nodded and said, "Okay." The eldest princess Exit the Zhou Palace with Zhao Li.
Zhao Li supported his mother, the eldest princess, and walked out of the Zhou Palace. Looking back, he saw that this was the place where he grew up, and he felt reluctant to leave. Zhao Li next to him said: "Mother, let's go." Emperor Zhou ran out, looked at the eldest princess who was about to leave, and called out: "Sister." The eldest princess turned around and saluted, and said: "Your Majesty." Emperor Zhou said: "Go home often." The eldest princess responded, "Okay." Then she got on the carriage behind her. General Zhao Yunchu sat in the front and drove the car, escorted by the army led by Zizheng at the back. He left Luoyi, the capital of Zhou Dynasty, and drove towards Handan, the capital of Zhao State.
King Wen learned that the eldest princess and her entourage were about to arrive at Handan, the capital of Zhao State, so he led the civil and military ministers out of the city to greet them and waited for their return outside Handan City. King Wen eagerly climbed up the tower and looked away. The Zhou army appeared in the valley. King Wen looked at it and immediately knelt down and kowtowed. The ministers standing nearby were stunned and said: "Your Majesty." King Wen looked at these ministers and said: "I am a minister, a minister. Kneel down before the Emperor, this is the Zhou rite." When these ministers saw that their king was kneeling down, they could not say anything, so they could only kneel down together to welcome the Emperor's army. General Zhao Yunchu drove up, got out of the car, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty." King Wen said, "General Yunchu, please step aside." General Zhao Yunchu then knelt aside. Later, Zi Zheng led the emperor's army to the outside of Handan City. King Wen greeted him, and Zizheng immediately got off the car, knelt down and said, "Sir." King Wen said, "Zizheng, you are the emperor's envoy and represent the emperor's majesty. For you to lower your rank and kneel to me is inconsistent with Zhou etiquette." , please get on the chariot." Zizheng looked at King Wen and said, "Sir." King Wen said, "Please ask the emperor's envoys to get on the chariot." Zizheng stood up and stepped back a few steps, bowed, turned around, got on the chariot, and stood On top of the chariot. King Wen knelt in front of him with hundreds of civil and military officials, and said: "I will bring all the officials of the State of Zhao to greet the emperor's envoys outside Handan City." Zi Zheng stood on the chariot, raised his hands and said, "Holy bow, be in peace." Facing King Wen, he said: "King Wen, please stand down." King Wen then stood up with all his civil and military officials. Zi Zheng got off the chariot and stood in front of King Wen. He looked at King Wen, knelt down and bowed and said, "Sir." King Wen said, "Zizheng, please get up." King Wen stood in front of the eldest princess's chariot. He bowed and said, "Eldest Princess." The eldest princess got off the car with her son Zhao Li. The eldest princess stood in front of King Wen and said: "Husband." Zhao Li stood aside and said: "Father." King Wen said: "Fu Chong, Li'er, I am very happy to see you. Fu Chong, Li'er, you guys Let’s get in the car together.”
King Wen personally drove them into Handan City and placed them in the harem, accompanied by the former Queen Bai Shao. After entering the Zhao palace, Zi Zheng stepped forward and said: "Pass the emperor's imperial edict, King Wen, please accept the edict." King Wen and his ministers knelt down together and said: "I will receive the edict." Zizheng opened the slip and read out: : "The emperor's edict is the order of Haotian. Zhao Xiaoyi, a member of the Zhao Kingdom, has spread his sage far and wide, and the people have obeyed him. I heard that Zhao Xiaoyi entered Handan and ascended the throne as the king of Zhao. I was happy when I heard about it and named him King Zhaowen. I hope You have restrained yourself and returned to the ceremony. I admire this." King Wen kowtowed and said, "I thank the Emperor." Zi Zheng stood in front of King Wen and said to the officials behind King Wen: "Everyone, please rise." King Wen and the ministers behind him Get up. Zizheng said: "Sir, it's time for me to go back and reply to the order." King Wen said: "Zizheng, I have a thank you form. Please present it to the emperor." Then he took out the thank you form from his arms, and Zizheng took it. He raised his hand and saluted, "Sir." He turned around and walked out of the Zhao palace. King Wen followed him and said, "I'll give it to you as a widow." Zi Zheng said, "Sir, let me drive for you as a disciple." King Wen smiled and said: "good."
Zi Zheng was driving for King Wen and rushed out of Handan City. Master and disciple Er Chong stood outside Handan City. Zi Zheng stood in front of King Wen, knelt down and bowed, and said, "Sir, I can no longer serve you. I'm leaving." Then he stood up and was about to leave. King Wen stood behind him, looked around, and called out, "Zizheng." Zizheng stopped, turned around and said, "Sir." King Wen stepped forward and said, "Zizheng, the emperor has reused you. I should be happy for you as my teacher." , but I am still worried about you." Then he said: "Zizheng, you have to remember my teacher's words, don't enter a dangerous country, and don't live in a chaotic country. If there is a way in the world, you will see it, but if there is no way, you will hide it." Zizheng said: "Sir, I will definitely build a strong army within three years and realize your ideal of great unity as soon as possible." King Wen said anxiously: "Zizheng, politicians should not be too hasty. You are always so stubborn. Being competitive is very dangerous in troubled times. You must remember, don’t look at anything that’s not polite, don’t hear anything that’s not polite, don’t say anything that’s not polite, don’t do anything that’s not polite, you have to write it down.” Zizheng knelt down and said, “Sir, disciple’s note Got off."
