Chapter 15: Qin and Jin's Goodness
Qin Jin is good
After a long while, I only heard the forbidden army and father-in-law on duty outside the palace gate start to report from outside the palace gate, one after another: "Tsukasa Zai arrived-Tsukasa Zai arrived-" After the hundred officials heard it, the hall immediately remembered a sound of Xi Suosuo, a little glanced at each other, a little tidied up the robes and crowns, and some whispered: "Coming, coming." The emperor on the dragon throne remained expressionless.
After the news, after a while, Baiguan saw a figure from a distance walking up the jade steps, came to the door of the hall, did not enter, glanced at the hall through the door, and then cleared his throat, did not take off his shoes, did not go to the sword, strode to the throne, and said casually: "I slept late last night, I didn't expect to make Your Majesty wait for a long time this morning." ”
"Tsukazai works for state affairs, I ......" Before the emperor's words were finished, Yuwen Hu turned around and sat on the chair under the throne without raising his eyelids.
The emperor's face showed an embarrassed look, but immediately returned to expressionlessness, at this time, the hundred officials saw Yuwen Hu sitting still, and said with their hands: "I've seen Tsukazai!" ”
"Well-" Yuwen Hu responded, then leaned back on the seat, loosened the court clothes, it seemed that his body was already a little bloated, and the court clothes were too heavy, and then took off the crown on the top, put it in his arms, touched the jewel on the crown in his hand, and said: "Since everyone is here, let's discuss it, there will be one thing this morning, and in a few days, Your Majesty will marry the daughter of the Turkic Khan, how are you preparing?" ”
Hearing Tsukazai's question, the great uncle in charge of the royal etiquette, the general of the Zhu State, Yuan Xin came out to reply, the father is the son of Emperor Wei Xianwen, Guangling Wang Yuanyu, and his younger brother is Emperor Yuan Gong of Wei Jiemin, who is an authentic branch of the Wei royal family. Yuan Xin is rude and straightforward, known as the flying eagle lackey for fun, and does not necessarily have any great talent, but when Emperor Wei Xiao was forced by the Gao family to flee the pass to seek refuge in Wen Wang Yu Wentai, Yuan Xin took the lead in responding, this good move brought him the second half of his life Xuan He Ronghua, so that after the establishment of the Great Zhou, he was named the Great Uncle, the general of the Zhu State, in charge of the Spring Palace, and the law of etiquette.
I saw him smile and said: "Please rest assured that Your Majesty and Tsukasa Zai are in harmony, which is not only a national gift, but also the joy of heaven, how dare the ministers slack off?" As soon as he applied for the gift, he had already sent people from the Spring Palace to the Turks, and the Turkic Khan had also sent his beloved daughter Princess Ashina, and now she was settled in the post house outside the city, just waiting for His Majesty to marry in five days. Also, Jinghe Palace has also been built and renovated, after His Majesty's wedding, he and the queen will move there to live, and the honor guards, carriages and horses, and drum music for marrying relatives have also been prepared, but ......, but according to the people of the post house, the Turks brought a team of soldiers in addition to the people who sent their relatives this time......"
"What? And bring a squad of soldiers? What is the heart of the Turks? ”
"What are you bringing troops for? Showing off your might? ”
"This is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, forgive them and don't dare to come nonsense."
"It's better to be careful."
……
For a while, the ministers were talking.
"Your Majesty, father, this time the two countries are peaceful, but the Turks have brought troops over, and the minister thinks that it must be a bad come, so it is better to send more people to watch as soon as possible." Yu Wenxun, the prince of Chu State, stepped forward and said.
"It's really inappropriate to bring troops over at this juncture, is it just a matter of sending someone to watch? From the minister's point of view, it is more prudent to transfer troops to strengthen the defense of the palace and the palace. Yuwen Shen saw that Yuwen was playing, so he immediately followed.
Yu Wenxun was robbed by his younger brother, he was so angry in his heart, he was about to refute, but he could only hear his father Yu Wenhu say: "I don't believe that they dare to make trouble under my nose, there is no need to be nervous, there is no need to transfer troops, do whatever you have to do, don't let those people think that we are still afraid of them, since everything is ready, then wait, wait for Your Majesty to marry, let's disperse." After speaking, he put on the crown, got up, bowed slightly to the emperor, said that the old minister retreated, and walked away.
The emperor was still expressionless, Mu Ran got up, and went to the harem, Yu Wenxun glared at his younger brother, snorted coldly, and walked away. Eventually, all the ministers dispersed.
When Yuwen Hu returned to the mansion, he immediately summoned Zhang Yue, who was a fishless supervisor, and ordered her to go to Jingzhou to thoroughly investigate the new Jingzhou assassin Shi Ruan Hong, who colluded with local temples to wantonly embezzle people's fields, forcibly occupy cultivated fields, and rob people's daughters.
Just because a few months ago, the Qiu Gong Si Kou Mansion received a report that the new assassin Shi Ruan Hong colluded with the local temple, did many evils, and preyed on the people, and the big Si Kou Lu Zheng personally handled the case, and the case was concluded in only one month: Diao Min was dissatisfied with the imperial court's collection of taxes, colluded with bandits, and framed the imperial court officials, and the criminal has now been imprisoned and executed after the autumn. After the verdict was made, not only did the incident not subside, but intensified, there was already a riot among the local people, and Yu Wenhu also felt that Lu Zheng and Ruan Hong were both people of the second son Yu Wenshen, and the case was either unfair, or the case was not thoroughly investigated enough to make the people angry, so he sent a fishless supervisor outside the Sikou Mansion to investigate the case.
This fishless prison is set up by King Wen Yuwentai to spy on the military situation of various countries and spy on the words and deeds of the palaces and ministers of various countries.
The first superintendent Zhang Lie was the father-in-law who served King Wen personally, and won the trust and respect of King Wen. After Zhang Lie's death, his righteous son Zhang Jian was in charge of Wuyu Prison, and after Zhang Jian took power, he gradually violated his father-in-law's advice: "Hold on to righteousness, be loyal and diligent to the king's affairs", and the powerful minister Yuwen Hu colluded to monitor the court and local officials, and planted eyeliner everywhere to catch the wind and shadows. Frame and exclude dissidents. It makes people panic, and the group does not dare to raise their voices, where can they talk much when they are alone? As a result, the fishless prison has also become notorious, and everyone talks about the discoloration of "fish".
However, although this chapter key is gradually moving away from the righteous path, he has a son and three disciples, the beloved son Zhang Ping, and accepts him as the eldest disciple, the second disciple is named Zhang Hu, the third disciple is Zhang Qiu, and the little sister is Zhang Yue. Zhang Yue was ordered by the master to marry his son, that is, his senior brother Zhang Ping, how did he expect that soon after the marriage, Zhang Ping was sent to the army as a supervisor, with Zhao Yaochi to help Liangzhou, and then Zhao Yaojun was exterminated, Zhang Ping or died in the chaos. However, when he was supervising the army, he secretly reported that Zhao Yao had made a meritorious conspirator, and was later posthumously named the general of the chariot cavalry. Leaving Zhang Yue to live as a widow for many years, in the name of the general's wife, like the senior brother, she served the imperial court, and only obeyed the master's orders.
Let's say that Yuwen Hu arranged for Zhang Yue to investigate the case, and arranged for her senior brother to take people to monitor the Turkic 3,000 men and horses, and found that they carried two elevated siege vehicles used in the siege, in addition to some common Ge, shield, war horses and the like. Yuwen Hu ordered the Leopard Chong battalion in his command to closely patrol the city defenses, and at the same time secretly ordered the two battalions stationed outside the city to be ready to pounce on the Turkic 3,000 men and horses at any time.
The day of the emperor's wedding, which the officials and the people of Chang'an City seemed to be looking forward to, finally came, and men, women, and children, poured out; Every household, helping the old and the young; peddlers' pawns; Stop and watch, the merchants sit; Closed for business. Thousands of empty alleys, overcrowded!
Qin Cheng, the Longwu Battalion of the Royal Forest Army, led a part of the escort, and went out of the palace gate with the honor guard of marriage and came to the east gate of Chang'an, and part of the Huwei Battalion of Dugu Luo blocked all the roads from the palace gate to the city gate along the way, prohibiting anyone from walking around and making noise. At the beginning of the hour, the emperor had already finished dressing, dressed in auspicious clothes, first went to the Taimiao Temple to worship the ancestors and ancestors, and then went to the Taihe Palace to meet the queen mother, and then took the Luan car straight out of the palace gate to marry the future queen.
Eight jujube red horses, a pair of gold-inlaid dragons, the sound of drums shook the sky, and the flags covered the sun. In front there are pairs of flags, pairs of gongs, pairs of cards, pairs of umbrellas, pairs of fans, golden gourds, moon axes, etc., and there are palace maids and eunuchs holding golden branches and jade leaves. Qiong syrup wine, wishful pearls, tight clusters of luan, mighty, continuous. Those who opened the way were already halfway through, and those at the end were only out of the palace gate......
The chariot of the Great Zhou Emperor is displayed outside the east gate, and a mile away, the Turkic chariots and horses are also lined up neatly, with red flowers and willow green. At the beginning of the hour, the Spring Palace Grand Sect Bo Yuan was pleased to see that the auspicious time had arrived, so he held the edict and preached loudly:
"The edict said: Gaiwen
The two surnames are good, the upper is the temple, and the lower is the successor
Even the friendship of Qin and Jin, the inner is the family of Qi, and the outer is the country
Yes
The peach is dying, and the song is good for a hundred years
Scorching its scorching, singing for eternity
Long live the present emperor, the gods are wise and wise
Princess Ashina The country is beautiful and fragrant
It is called the wonder of the pearl union
The joy of harmonic tunes
Increase the dragon and phoenix to be auspicious
It is good to tie the phoenix and the mandarin alliance
Every day is auspicious
Rejoice in this beautiful scenery
As long as the joy of the future
Perform the gift of knotting and closing
Wish
The two countries have been in harmony with each other and have passed on a good story for thousands of years
All the people celebrate the well-being of all generations
Again
A hundred years of old age, forever the joy of the piano
Five, do your best, the celebration of the early association of bears".
After the edict was announced, Yuan Xin took the lead in kneeling down and kowtowing to Luanjia and said: "The ministers respectfully ask Your Majesty to marry the princess!" Suddenly, the royal family, civil and military officials, palace maids and eunuchs fell to their knees and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty on marrying the princess!" Congratulations to Your Majesty on marrying the princess! Congratulations to Your Majesty on marrying the princess! ”
Next to Luan, the emperor's personal father-in-law had already lifted the curtain, and the emperor was about to lean out, but he heard the opposite side shouting: "Your Majesty, slow down!" The minister has something to do. ”
Everyone who was still kneeling looked at each other: "What's going on, what is he going to do?" Yuan Xin immediately got up, came to the Turkic send-off team, and said to Aquili, the eldest son of the Turkic Mu Xuan who was the leader: "I don't know what else is going on with your envoy?" ”
Aquili did not answer to Yuan Xin, but said in the direction of Luan Jia: "When I came, my father Khan told me that if Your Majesty wants to marry our princess today, you must first pass a difficult pass, if Your Majesty can pass this pass before sunset, you can marry the princess, if not, please choose another auspicious day, prepare a generous gift, and marry again!" ”
"How dare your country be so rude? You ......" Yuan Xin was furious, but Aquili had already turned his horse back to the carriage princess, took the command flag, pointed to the sky, and shouted: "Set up the formation!" ”
