The procedure for marriage is basically the same as that of the common people, and the "six rites" agreed in the "Book of Rites" are generally observed.
The difference is that the royal wedding ceremony is more solemn and elaborate. The Wang family, who was elected as the queen, could also receive a bride price sent by Zhao Zhen, but Zhao Zhen would never go to greet his relatives in person, but let the Wang family send it to the door ceremoniously.
For this big wedding, Zhao Zhen does not care about the practical significance, but attaches more importance to political influence, this is a summary of his pro-government for so many years, he has been in power for nearly four years at the age of seventeen, who would have thought that a thirteen-year-old young emperor would actually control the Great Song Dynasty steadily?
Which of the martial arts is not the work of a generation of saints?
Wenzhi recovered the family, and now the court has no party disputes, and they do their duty to do their own dispatches, and the generals have no cowardice, and the status of the generals has been significantly improved since the martial arts, not only in terms of salary, but also in terms of political status.
Now the generals are scrambling to go to the military academy to gild, no way, Wenchen only recognizes the generals who came out of the military academy, because in the military academy can accept systematic learning, not only learn to lead the troops to fight, but also learn culture and various military details, for this reason began to know how many military subjects, at this time many of the military cadets are the original gentle and elegant soldiers.
The people crowded at the end of the South Gate Street, and the entire royal road was occupied on both sides, in order to see the queen's demeanor and the emperor's face.
It can be said that the entire city of Tokyo revolves around Zhao Zhen, it is jubilant because of the joy of the official family, and it will also be silent because of the anger of the official family, and the city of Tokyo at this time has turned into a sea of joy, full of colorful restaurants and carnival crowds.
Everyone knows that the queen of the official family is the little lady of the Wang family, and there are many people near the Wang family, and they all want to see what kind of family is the queen of the mother's world.
Wang Jiahao's right, for the sake of his daughter, also let go, early in the morning at the door of Tongshu Lane set up a flowing water banquet, invited Cai Kee's best master chef to cook, claiming to be a three-day banquet to entertain the guests who came to congratulate, passers-by can drink and feast in the past.
This is a naked display of wealth, Cai Ji's chef's dishes are not something that can be eaten with money, let alone the chef who was invited to make a wine banquet?
Zhao Zhen gave Nacai Li Xiaoshan seemed to have to advance into the Wang family's treasury, Wang Mengzheng smiled and nodded again and again with a big belly, this girl is not a loss to marry, the official family not only has gold and silver, but also white porcelain jacquard teapots and black tea that cannot be bought on the market, I heard that these are specially exported food, in order to frame those barbarians who drink blood.
Looking at the carload of dowry, Wang Mengzheng smiled slightly, this son-in-law is a good hand at doing business, his own daughter said that the official family used these things that should not be eaten and drunk from the Great Food Country in exchange for the most scarce war horses and iron-smelting technology in the Great Song Dynasty, which was the most scarce thing in the Great Song Dynasty.
He is about to become the national ruler, who is not polite when he sees himself?
Looking at the old opponent who walked into the inner courtyard tremblingly, Wang Mengzheng was proud in his heart, but he said with a surprised expression on his face: "Oh, why did the elder brother come in person, didn't the clan brother send someone to pick you up at the house?" ”
Wang Sui waved his hand and sighed: "Don't pretend in front of me, you won!" ”
Wang Mengzheng saw that he was soft, and then changed his words: "Where is the clan brother, don't you see the outside world if you say this?" In any case, Yu Yan has to call you a clan uncle, besides, you and I are old now, I can't be reckless, I don't have an official position just to be happy, and my children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, right? ”
"You said lightweight, your family is blessed, but what about my family? I don't care, you have to let my niece find a way out for my descendants no matter what! ”
After Wang Sui finished speaking, he took Wang Mengzheng's hand and insisted on breaking into the embroidery building not far away.
How did this make Wang Mengzheng shake his hand and said: "You old thing, you are old and helpless, you will come out to see Yu Yan later, you will tell her, I want to see if you can pull down this old face!" ”
"What do you want to do if you win? In the future, you will be the patriarch of the Wang clan, so I can't be an elder? ”
"Is that true?" Wang Mengzheng looked at Wang Sui in surprise, pulled him to the small pavilion in front of the embroidery building, poured wine for him, and said: "This matter is not a joke, you are willing to give me the patriarch of the Wang clan?" ”
Wang Sui picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, his eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of light erupted from it: "Of course, it's useless for me to occupy the position of the patriarch now, our Wang clan has always been a high-ranking leader, aren't you the Great Song Guozhang qualified?" ”
Wang Mengzheng smiled: "In this way, you have to listen to me, can you be willing?" ”
Zi~Zi~ Wang Sui drank a glass of wine and smacked his lips and said: "What's unwilling, can you still ignore my Sanhuai Hall?" Besides, you can help me with this line, and it doesn't matter if Linchuan is in line. ”
Wang Mengzheng shook his head slightly and said: "I can't help your family, the official family has already given Sanhuaitang a way back, and I will inevitably make the official family unhappy if I help again, you also know that although the official family has just gotten married, it has long been pro-government, and no one can guess what is going on now, if I rush to help you, I am afraid that I will be disgusted by the official family, and it will be really difficult to do it when the time comes." ”
Wang Sui not only didn't get angry when he heard this, but nodded slightly: "What you said makes sense, it's better not to provoke the official family now, when the limelight is over, having you, the country's father-in-law and my queen's niece, should be able to bring my Sanhuai Hall back to life!" ”
Wang Meng responded: "That's right! So anyone can have an accident, my family can't, this is the reason why I chose the official family at the beginning, there are some things you don't know and can't see, the ability of the official family is far more than this, I can see it, the official family wants to be Taizu has not done anything! ”
Wang Sui's hand holding the wine glass trembled slightly: "What's the matter?" Is it all gold? ”
"All gold? Hehe, you underestimate the official family too much, maybe he wants to restore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty......"
"Sheng Tang?!"
Wang Sui grabbed Wang Mengzheng's hand and said: "If you restore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, not only will you collect the party items in the west, but also attack the Khitan in the north, chase Dali in the south, and take back the Guannei Dao, not to mention, even the Guannei Sudden must be withdrawn, this is ...... That's too bold! ”
Wang Mengzheng smiled: "Bold? To tell you the truth, the official family not only thought so but also did it, my Wang family has been operating in the field for many years, and the official family has long known about it, so they sent someone to contact me, so that the caravan of the Wang family can send royal people to the party and the Khitan when they trade in the field, so far the party has been completely infiltrated, and the Khitan is still a little worse, after all, their royal court is in the far north. ”
Looking at Wang Sui's shocked expression, Wang Mengzheng said again: "Guess when this happened?" ”
"When?"
"The first month of the official family!"
"What?!"
Wang Sui was shocked, it seemed that the family had lost unjustly at his hands. Who would have thought that an official who had just turned thirteen and had only been in power for a month would have such a far-sighted vision.
"If Your Majesty can really restore the majesty of the Tang Dynasty, then my family is really blind!"
In the hearts of the Song people, the prosperous era is no longer than the Tang Dynasty, and the Song people, regardless of men, women, and children, only worship the Tang Dynasty, because in that dynasty there is a unified country and unprecedented territory, north to the small sea of Siberia, south to the South Sea, east to the sea, west to the Aral Sea.
Even the Arabian Peninsula was a neighbor of the Tang Dynasty, and the Battle of Talas stopped the pace of the Tang Dynasty's iron hooves.
Originally, in their opinion, the Tang Dynasty was the Tang Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty may never be able to walk the distance of the Tang Dynasty, but now people's opinions have begun to change, and Zhao Zhen, a young official, has appeared, giving people hope.
