Chapter 36: Marriage
The second year of Zhengqing is the second year of Emperor Zhengqing's ascension to the throne as the emperor, although compared with the first year, this year is much calmer, but there are also two major events, the weight of which makes people have to pay attention.

The first major event happened to Emperor Zhengqing, the ninety-five of the Great Zhou Dynasty, half a year after his accession to the throne, he met his first autumn hunt on the emperor's road, in addition to the favored henchmen, harem concubines, King Lu, King Cheng, the two brothers can not be left behind.
Who knew that Emperor Zhengqing was full of ambition to go, and almost suffered a catastrophe, when hunting, he actually encountered two fierce tiger attacks, the leader of the guards around him was smart and strong, and immediately drew his sword against one, and the other one was good to die, but it was straight towards Emperor Zhengqing!
Fortunately, King Lu's father and son who followed him were very heroic, and they did not flee from the battle, but protected Emperor Zhengqing together, and the father and son forcibly carried this crazy tiger.
King Lu's father and son are equivalent to using their bodies as a price to win precious time for the forbidden army guards to strangle the tiger!
It's a long story, but in fact, from the time it happened to the end, it was less than the time for tea.
After the two tigers were strangled in a pool of blood and remained motionless, the civil officials who accompanied them could be considered to have woken up, and those who were timid were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.
After everyone was frightened, they found that King Lu's shoulder was bitten by the tiger, and the blood could not stop flowing, and half of his clothes were dyed red.
Emperor Zhengqing was moved, holding his brother in tears, and announced that the imperial doctor was coming, so that the imperial doctor would do his best to rescue, and he would definitely let King Lu turn the corner of danger.
Fortunately, King Lu was angry, and he was in a coma for three days, and finally woke up quietly, and Emperor Zhengqing received the gift and hurriedly came in person, and the brothers choked with their hands, and were alone in a room for half an hour.
As the saying goes, 'The grace of saving a life should be reciprocated by a spring.' 'Ordinary people are still like this, let alone the emperor's family?
So, the Lu Palace, which had been guarded by Emperor Zhengqing for several years, was favored again overnight, and the imperial doctor came to the door three times a day, not to mention, the rewards in the palace were also sent as if they didn't want money.
King Lu's original gate has been restored to its former prosperity, as if King Lu's mansion has never fallen into a trough, and those ministers have smiling faces and generous gifts, one after another.
The hottest topic in the capital is that Prince Lu saved the life of the current saint from the tiger's mouth, and exchanged his life for the most needed emperor's favor for his family.
For a time, the scenery of Lu Wangfu was unique in the capital, and even the Chengwang Mansion, which had been highly respected by the saints before, had to temporarily let go of the limelight and stand back first.
The second major event is that the prince of Xuanping Marquis Mansion in Xidiping Capital City got married on October 28 in the second year of Zhengqing!
I heard that on that day, Pingjing City was noisy with gongs and drums, and there were lights everywhere, and the people spontaneously went to the streets to make fun for their own princes.
And the wife of the prince who was married to Hou Shizi this time, her mother's family was arrogant, and she gave the Hou Mansion a long face.
The Lan family gave their daughter, enough to prepare one hundred and twenty-eight dowry, there are six shops in the storefront, two in Pingjing's West Street and Qujiang Pond, three in the capital, and one in Nanhu City, each shop is in the most prosperous territory in the city, and the faΓ§ade of every house can be called a valuable feng shui treasure.
There are also four Zhuangzi who accompany the marriage, two are large granges of thousands of acres, and two are medium granges of 500 acres, all of which are near Pingjing, with six shop fronts and four granges, which happen to be perfect.
One of the most eye-catching is a medium-sized grange in the mountains of Shirong County.
People in the capital may not know, what's so strange about this, the Zhuangzi who marries is naturally big and small, this Lan family has accompanied two high-grade and two medium ones to their own palm beads, which is very suitable, nothing unusual.
But the people in Pingjing City are all clear, what is Shirong County? That's a small county town that couldn't be poorer!
And the location of this grange is a remote ravine in Shirong County, I really don't know if the maiden family of this prince is in order to look good, so she bought a piece of mountain land at random to fill the number?
Actually, this is really not about Mrs. Lan and her husband, when she bought land for Lan Jiayin, Mrs. Lan was extraordinarily open-minded, and directly gave the number of words, and let Lan Jiayin go to see it by herself, as long as the child likes it, then buy it!
The first three granges were selected very smoothly, Lan Jiayin was also smart, so she asked her own chief manager to personally go to the canal construction supervisor to take a circle, and engrave a copy of the drawings of the Zhou Shui Canal and bring it back, she personally saw that the fields there dared to buy, and there would be no shortage of water in the future, and the land there could not be bought, and it would be too far away from the Zhou Shui Canal in the future, which was not conducive to irrigation.
The biggest advantage of buying a grange in this way is that it is cheap! Affordable!
And the last grange was Lan Jiayin's sudden decision after a night's dream, for this strange dream of mixing past and present lives, she also went around Shirong County for the first time in three years.
It stands to reason that this place should be full of her painful memories, as well as sad tears, and unbearable past.
But maybe it's Lan Jiayin now, since she was reborn, her parents and brothers are still alive, each of them is alive and healthy, and they love and care for her, so that Lan Jiayin is surrounded by family affection, and her body and mind are extremely soft.
Therefore, this time she really revisited the old place, and what came to her mind was more of a picture of the first time she arrived, struggling to survive and relying on her ability to eat.
For the first time, I picked non-toxic mushrooms in the mountains and boiled them in soup to drink, which was no less delicious than the treasure mushroom soup in Baiweiju in Beijing.
The first time I caught a fat rabbit on the mountain, I burned it and ate it, and the meat was so tender that I almost swallowed my tongue in my stomach.
The first fish she caught in a mountain stream,
She climbed the peach tree and threshed the first fruit......
So many memories are very beautiful, so Lan Jiayin suddenly understood, 'It turns out that there are also a lot of shining points in my own memories.' β
decided to buy the mountain that once had countless footprints for her, her brother, and her brother!
There will be a day in the future, when the sun is shining, the flowers are fragrant and the leaves are green, Lan Jiayin will take her man and her children to play and relax in the mountains together.
She can lay a set in the green grass and teach the child to catch wild animals.
will also let Mu Lingxuan teach the children to climb trees and pick sweet and sour fruits to eat.
Or everyone can go to the cold and refreshing creek together, and it is good to play in the water and catch fish.
Presumably, at that time, all that will be left in the whole mountain will be the happy laughter of their family, rather than the sad past.
Perhaps, for outsiders, the marriage of the prince of Xuanping Hou is just a matter of gossip and pastime after tea and dinner, but for Lan Jiayin herself, it is a complete farewell to the past and a new beginning of a new life!
Therefore, she will not care how much gold and silver her parents have married her, nor will she accidentally how many cages her ancestral family has pulled for her, what she cares about is to live a new life, and at this moment, her life has finally seen the hope of perfection!
I don't know if the knot in my heart was opened, after Lan Jiayin bought the mountain in Shirong County, it was very strange, and she never dreamed of the things of her previous life.
Letting go of the past, without hatred and regret, with hope and longing for the future, Lan Jiayin married Mu Lingxuan, who was destined for her past life and loved her in this life.
From now on, she is the justifiable Mrs. Xuanping Hou Shizi, and on the west side of Xuanping Hou's Mansion, there is a warm little home belonging to her and Mu Lingxuan.
Today, this gorgeous rose has finally found the most suitable soil for its growth, and it is conceivable that in the near future, this rose will bloom even more dazzlingly.
After worshipping heaven and earth, a pair of fairy-like newlyweds were both sent into the new house, Mu Lingxuan took the pure gold scale rod handed by the bride, and steadily lifted Lan Jiayin's big red golden sand hijab embroidered with the two immortals.
When the young couple looked at each other, and only saw their own figures under each other's eyes, the sweetness and satisfaction made people sigh: 'Heavenly fairyland, human couples, it's just like that!' β
................................
Because of the marriage of his own palm beads, Lan Mingdong, who is a father, is also inexhaustible, and in order to make his wife and married daughter feel at ease, he even personally gave the current saint a secret fold.
bluntly said that he was willing to stay in Pingjing for two more years, until the Zhou Shui Canal was completed and the drought situation in the west improved, and it was not too late to return to Beijing to report on his work.
However, Emperor Zhengqing's side is really a headache, mainly because the current trend in the court is very unpleasant.
Among the hundred officials, one is a well-known tumbler, and the wind blows homeopathically, and no one can be offended.
The other is a naturally gentle temper, a good old man, and the mantra on his lips is the most revealing personality, 'Harmony is precious, if you have something to say, say it well, say it well.' β
With such two amiable Xiangye taking the lead, the court is indeed peaceful, but at the same time, it is also full of twilight gloom and unenterprising, not only does not let people see a little vigor and prosperity, but even makes the enterprising saint look cold.
Think about it, Emperor Zhengqing has the world in his heart, and he is bound to completely bring the south under the control of the imperial court, do you think that with such a group of harmonious mud, when a monk hits the clock for a day, can he sharply compete with the south?
Emperor Zhengqing was disappointed, and couldn't help but regret a little, "The position of the left minister is particularly important, even if Lan Aiqing can't come back, he should choose another meritocracy, he shouldn't have chosen a mediocre person for the sake of temporary peace on the surface, and now these two old men have taken the lead, making the atmosphere of the court so poor, I really don't worry about it!" β
At that time, if you didn't take into account the eyes of others, tried your best to disregard public opinion, and chose talented people in your henchmen as the prime minister, even if you were rarely questioned and resisted, even if the old and new factions competed, it was more comfortable than the current situation.
Therefore, there is really no perfect thing in this world, and it is often that if you take care of this side, you can't take care of that side.
Don't look at Emperor Zhengqing, what he thinks in his heart, but if he really supports his henchmen who are not deep, he will be attacked and fought every day in the court, and he will still have a headache.
Emperor Zhengqing is most worried about whether he wants to spend more time in this mild environment, will he finish all the ambitions in his heart?
In the middle of his hesitation, there was another incident of King Lu saving the driver, and Emperor Zhengqing couldn't take care of anything for a while because of his gratitude to his brother, and only paid attention to the health of the imperial brother.
He is hot-headed, his heart is full of family and brotherhood, and his favor to King Lu is very strong, which leads to the limelight of King Lu's mansion, and no one can compare it for a while.
In such a situation, some people blindly follow the trend and follow the emperor's wishes to hold King Lu's feet, but there are also people who calmly watch and smell a different flavor from it.
September autumn hunting injury, until the cold winter of November, King Lu appeared in the front of the team of the last dynasty again, I thought that with the recovery of King Lu's body, the heat of the saint should also fade, who would have thought, now the saint on the contrary to King Lu more attention, and even deal with political affairs, will ask King Lu what he means.
At this point, most people are silent in order to protect their own safety, but Liang Yunqi can't turn a blind eye to the rise of King Lu.
Not only because he felt that King Lu was still a wolf with great ambitions, but also because Princess Lu and Queen Chen began to get close, and even secretly supported the concubine who gave birth to the third prince, and opposed Liang Qiaoqian's mother and son everywhere, which touched Liang Yunqi's bottom line.
Liang Yunqi is the companion of the saint, the two grew up together, if you want to say who knows the emperor's heart best, it must be this person.
This took the opportunity of stepping on the snow to find plums, leading Emperor Zhengqing to witness how his third prince bullied his sixth prince, and as long as Emperor Zhengqing asked people to check down according to this, it would not be difficult to find the handwriting of King Lu's mansion.
Liang Yunqi first let Emperor Zhengqing see clearly that King Lu's mind was impure, and then bluntly said to him the bad atmosphere in the court, and took advantage of the situation, so he sighed and pushed out Lan Mingdong, the former left minister who was upright and the most gentlemanly.
'If Lord Lan is still here, why is this so?' β
This sentence speaks to Emperor Zhengqing's heart, and for him, it is imperative to change the status quo!
Looking at Emperor Zhengqing's thoughtful face, Liang Yunqi knew that his goal had been achieved, and with his current rank, it was not enough to directly confront the Lu Palace.
However, Lan Mingdong is different, after returning to Beijing, he once again served as the left minister, regaining the real power he originally had, with this fair and selfless attitude, if there is a tail on King Lu's side that is not hidden and exposed, it will be found out.
At that time, Liang Yunqi assisted from the side and helped Lan Mingdong to check deeply, but he was still worried that he couldn't expose the mask worn by King Lu?
As long as the form on King Lu's side is tight, can he still have the leisure to reach into the harem and instigate the concubines to fight, and the princes kill each other?
