Chapter 17: The Princess's Wedding Night - The Child's Drunken Complaint (1)
In the spring of the first year of Kaiyao (681), after several months of careful planning, the Shengshi of Lead Hua ushered in the grand and grand wedding of Princess Taiping, the princess and the only princess of the dynasty.
Many years later, there are also old people who saw the wedding with their own eyes recalling, and their gloomy eyes will be full of waves, and their old cheeks will also reveal the vitality of their youth.
That wedding made all those who saw it with their own eyes and experienced it unmoved, and engraved it deeply in the depths of their hearts!
The magnificence of the scene and the magnificence of the scene, in the eyes, is it not just a "magnificent" enough to describe Erer?
According to the "New Tang Dynasty Book - Princess Biography", there is a record: "Fake Wannian County is a wedding hall, the gate pass can not accommodate Zhai Che, there is a division to destroy the wall to enter, since Xing'an Gate set up a fire to belong to each other, Daoyue is dry." ”
Wannian County was one of the direct jurisdictions of the Tang Dynasty at that time, so Wannian County Ya can basically be equated with the political capital of the Tang Dynasty. The palace of Princess Taiping's wedding was set up in Wannian County, which is already very noble, but the princess's Fengyi is far more than that......
Although the etiquette of getting up and welcoming the sedan chair is not new, it is essential. But when the magnificent, richly decorated and spacious wedding car passed through Wannian County, the two gates of the county government were all open and open, and they could not travel into this luxurious, huge wedding float!
At this time, it was almost without thinking, and as soon as the Empress Wu heard the news, he immediately ordered the wall to be demolished! Breaking ground and destroying the gate of the county government overnight, just for the princess's wedding night!
According to the long-standing customs of the Tang Dynasty, the wedding was held on a good day at night. In this way, the two processions escorting the floats all the way to the left and left are also dazzling, and the men and women riding tall horses and holding high in their hands form a long dragon of fire that reaches the sky one after another.
This swimming and dancing fire dragon extends from the Xing'an Gate of Taichu Palace in the northeast of the capital city to the Wannian County Ya in the southeast of the city. Half of the fire is bordering the sky, and the majesty is magnificent, and the dark world shines like day! With the great battle spread out by the cold wind in the noisy spring, the new locust trees on both sides of the road were scorched and burned!
Thinking back to the time when Emperor Taizong and Empress Changsun's beloved daughter Princess Changle got married, Taizong just wanted to give Princess Changle more to marry, and the minister Wei Zheng was already chattering and nagging beside him! A "etiquette" restricts too much, even if the emperor is a princess, it cannot be overstepped!
Looking at Princess Taiping's concubine and Xue Shao's mother Princess Chengyang when she got married, she said that according to the numerology of the princess and the concubine, it was unlucky to get married at sunset. Taizong intended to hold it during the day. But he was also tried his best to persuade him, and in the end he had to do it according to the old rules!
To sum up, it is in stark contrast to the current marriage of Princess Taiping. Empress Wu's care for Taiping, all the motherhood, seems to be not enough for this daughter.
At present, the Tang Dynasty is at its peak again, don't say that no courtier dares to make a small statement about all this that the Empress Wu did for Taiping, that is, who dares to have a small word, and the courage of the Empress Wu will not change this early decision!
I have to say that Princess Taiping is catching up with a good time. This wedding has not been reached for thousands of years, although it may not be the end, but it is unprecedented!
