'Bang, bang, bang......'

"Where's the gunshot?" Suddenly, there was a volley of muskets outside, and Lu Xiufu stood up in surprise and asked loudly.

"Prime Minister Zuo, it should be Your Majesty who led the army to pay tribute to the martyrs who were martyred!" The entourage next to him looked out the door and replied in the direction of the gunshot.

"Oh, nothing is going to happen, is it?" Lu Xiufu still asked with some unease.

"The land minister doesn't know that it is a common practice in the army to fire guns and cannons at the memorial service, so there is no need to panic." Wen Tianxiang once fought with His Majesty, knew the rules, and waved his hand.

"Zhang Li, did you see Your Majesty in Wuhu Mountain with your own eyes?" Lu Xiufu nodded, but he still felt uneasy and asked his relatives casually.

"Zuo Xiang, the small one is rewarded after seeing it with his own eyes." Zhang Lishi said, "The little one saw with his own eyes that His Majesty, accompanied by the commander of the guard camp Chen, led a team of guards to the Wuhu Mountain, and contributed all the sacrifices from today's drink to the martyr's mausoleum, and the little one seemed to hear His Majesty say ......."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Wen Tianxiang saw that he was spitting and asked urgently.

"The little one is afraid of disturbing His Majesty, and he is a little far away, and he can't hear clearly. After seeing His Majesty saluting, the little one seemed to be talking about what happened in Jiazi Town back then, saying that there were only some simple sacrifices for that drink, and each person only shared a little bit. Although there were few things, everyone was very happy to eat, and today he took the sacrifices from the sacrifice to share with everyone...... Anyway, His Majesty cried for a while, laughed for a while, and couldn't understand some of the words he said. The entourage reported what he saw and heard at the time.

Later, the army looking for His Majesty came to him, and when they saw this, they did not persuade him to return to His Majesty, but also offered their respective sacrifices in front of the mausoleum, and there was no shortage in front of each tomb, and some even put several copies, and some could not help but grieve and weep. Seeing that there were more and more people coming, and that His Majesty was not in danger, he hurried back to pay his respects. ”

"Does Prime Minister Lu know what's going on?" Wen Tianxiang only understood what happened, but he didn't understand what was hidden.

"It's a long story." Lu Xiufu sighed and said, "At that time, Wen Xiang was still in Jiannan Kaifu, and the Xing Dynasty was defeated, and Quanzhou had just gathered his team to rest in Jiazi Town. Due to the heavy losses of all the departments and the extreme lack of food and supplies, the Quanzhou volunteers and routs who followed the dynasty were scattered around, without food and clothing. His Majesty took the initiative to collect the volunteers who had escorted and the orphans of the army who had been left here, placed them in his own line, and then paid tribute to the officers and soldiers and volunteers who were martyred in the bloody night of Quanzhou. ”

At that time, the dynasty did not take any measures, in order not to be embarrassed, but ordered Governor Liu to go to pay tribute on his behalf. However, the little emperor's move made the army respectful, and the number of volunteers in Quanzhou gathered for a time reached thousands. I think that at that time, His Majesty had not yet opened the mansion, and eating was a problem, where there was any money, and the sacrifices were all put together. But it is also a rare delicacy for the volunteers who can't fill their stomachs for a long time, and the drink also attracted that Chen Dun, and he led a group of stray children to fight, and finally was subdued by His Majesty. Therefore, that public sacrifice is of far-reaching significance to His Majesty, and it can also be said that it has an important impact on today's court situation! ”

"Oh, I see." Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty used these volunteers and braves as the team to form the Shuaifu Army back then, but who would have thought that it was these stragglers who would have become important ministers in the court and pillars of the country!" ”

"Not only that, but His Majesty took in a large number of orphans and displaced people back then, and incorporated them into the old camp, and never left them in the most difficult times. And those who are skilled among the outcasts are the backbone of the current imperial craftsmen, who have built muskets, cannons, and warships. And those orphans were taught by His Majesty himself to either enter the army or enter the school. At present, the backbone of the army, most of the pastoral officials in the prefectures and counties are from the old camp, and it can be said that they are all over the official offices of the Great Song Dynasty. Lu Xiufu said.

"Well, it's no wonder that the Imperial Protector is loyal to His Majesty, and the generals at all levels of the forbidden army obey their orders, so there is still such a relationship. It can also be seen that His Majesty is by no means the kind of king who can only share weal and woe, but not wealth and prosperity, after many years, he can still remember it and go to pay tribute and confess his sins. Wen Tianxiang was quite emotional.

"This is also the reason why Your Majesty can still mobilize the armies and control the government even if he is not in the court. And those who try to be unfavorable to His Majesty are also underestimating the relationship between their monarchs and ministers, that is life and death, the love of life, and it is more difficult to separate than to ascend to the sky! Lu Xiufu said with emotion.

"This is also the blessing of the Great Song Dynasty, I am so lucky, if my life is not rescued by His Majesty, it would have been lost in Yashan, how can I come to the train today!" Wen Tianxiang said. Thinking about the time when the little emperor also tried his best to reinstate himself as an official, and his favor has not faded for ten years, even if he dies, it will be difficult to repay the king's kindness.

"Great Song is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Central Plains!"

"Great Song is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Expelle the Tartars and restore my Central Plains!" As he spoke, there were bursts of mountain cries outside, which reverberated and turned around in the mountains......

The tomb has been completed, Zhao Yu took a boat back after resting in the palace, and went to the palace outside the city in the evening, and the officials greeted him. At dawn the next day, transfer to Da'an Ran, march from the five-wheeled car, when entering the city, there are already the officials of the teaching workshop standing in line, playing and cheering, after the music is loud, the army ranks also play the sound of propaganda, and thousands of horses rush into the city like a cloud. People from all over the world watched along the way until they entered the palace. In the city, there are also teaching workshops, once again cheering slogans, singing and dancing to welcome. After the singing and dancing, Zhao Yu rested for a while, preparing to go to the city for amnesty.

When Zhao Yu came to the door again, after a series of ceremonies such as whipping and playing music, the courtiers stood in shifts. Lu Xiufu went out of the class to drink and erected the edict under the Golden Rooster Gate. Immediately, there was an official promise to proclaim the golden rooster. After the chicken pole was erected, followed by a toss, the edict was held out and handed to the governor Liu Huang, who knelt down and asked for the decree to 'declare the three provinces', and then handed over the edict to the ministers, the pavilion door was opened, read by the decree, and the ministers bowed again, to be read to "Xian pardon and remove it", after the prison level was released, the prisoners who had been waiting for forgiveness had long been waiting on the side, and the three shouts were long live, and the song came out.

In Zhao Hao's opinion, these people are all rehearsed, and they are here to set off the atmosphere to show the emperor's grace. Wait for the pardon, the door is a person, the privy and the middle book order Qu He two bows, the door of the public to proclaim the pardon book to the minister, the minister to the punishment department of the book, the book of the book to the torture room, return to the class two bows, speech, three dances, three kowtows. Then there was another correct answer, singing and dancing and hitting the bell, which was nothing more than a show of grandeur and majesty, but the complicated ceremony almost wore out Zhao Yu's patience, so the edict was issued.

At this moment, each of the states has a hand-over shop waiting for the court, and when the pardon is completed, they will be sent to various places to transmit the edict. According to the past practice, Taipingzhou, Wanzhou, and Shouchun should be sent first, and the words "Taiping Wanshou" should be taken. But at present, these states are all in enemy-occupied areas, and the Great Song Dynasty can't control it at all, but it is difficult for the smart courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty, because the main amnesty this time is the Qiongzhou Mansion, so they will first send the Wan'an Army, the Jiyang Army and the Changhua Army to take the words 'Wan'an Changji'.

After the announcement was completed, the onlookers did not disperse, and then Zhao Yu found that there was a climax behind him, and the highlight of everyone seemed to be climbing the golden rooster pole. But this is also a new thing for him, the golden rooster pole is five feet five feet long, the top has a chicken four feet high, and the gold ornament is seven feet long. He asked privately and learned that the golden rooster rod refers to a ritual when the emperor issued an edict of pardon and set up the golden rooster on the pole to show auspiciousness, and to represent the "Tianji Star", which is one of the ancient star officials, belonging to the twenty-eight houses, the seven houses in the north.

Moreover, the chicken is not a chicken, it is also called the bird, that is, the phoenix bird, which is the benevolent bird in the minds of the ancients. But Zhao Yu knew that no matter what kind of bird it was, it had nothing to do with political affairs on earth. But after processing, it can be cleverly linked to amnesty, and it embodies the power of the Heavenly Emperor to dominate life and death. In addition, there is a pole acrobatics in the hundred plays, which is commonly known as climbing poles, and various dangerous skills are performed on the erected long poles. The rod can be erected on the ground; It can also stand on the forehead; You can also stand on the car.

In the Song Dynasty, the people of the Great Song Dynasty, who were full of entertainment spirit, combined the pardon ceremony with the fate of the hundred operas, so that in addition to the old majesty and solemnity, it was also accompanied by a festive atmosphere, which really responded to the serious and lively sentence. And the final climax is that the four acrobats standing in the square of the golden rooster pole climb the pole along the four ropes hanging down at the same time, which is called 'hugging the golden rooster'. Of course, this name is not climbed in vain, the first to climb to the top of the pole shouted 'long live', and Zhao Yu will reward the goods, in addition to the Valerian jacket collar, silk ten horses, there is also a silver bowl weighing three taels......

Everything that should be told has been told, and what should be worshipped has also been worshipped, and Zhao Yu's wedding date has arrived. But before the marriage, there is also a big ceremony. In addition to saddles and horses, it is necessary to add 100 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, 1,000 horses of satin, gold and silver tea sets, and silver basins and other affordable goods. What is more important is to establish the "name", which is the canonization of the queen's ceremony.

The emperor held a grand ceremony in the Daqing Palace, announced the canonization of a certain woman as the queen, and handed over the gold seal and gold book awarded to the queen to the special envoy team by the left minister and the privy envoy foreman, and was ordered to escort the queen's gold seal and gold book to the queen's mother's house, and announced to the queen's father and brother, and then the female official accompanying the palace read the book to the queen. The quasi-national abbot led the whole family to kneel at the gate to receive the greeting team, and the greeting messenger announced the edict loudly. In the sound of drums, the sedan chair bearer of the honor guard carried the queen's rites and dragon pavilions into the front yard, and then carried them to the boudoir in the backyard by the inner attendants, and parked them in the auspicious direction designated by the officials of the Qin Tianjian Prison. The bride wore the queen's dress, wore a phoenix crown, appeared on the stage, knelt to accept the gold book and gold treasure, and went back to the "building" to wait for the auspicious time.

And these days, since the announcement period, the Guozhang Mansion has already been the general mobilization of the whole government, up and down, no one can be idle, renovate the house, and engage in environmental sanitation. Although it can't be encroached upon and made as brilliant as the palace, it must also be dazzling, and try to make people look at the right feelings. Just the whole house, the whole family, the three new lines inside and outside, they are busy enough, not to mention the lanterns, Zhang Luo wedding feast, and widely distribute the "wedding card"!

The bride is also not idle, learning etiquette under the guidance of the female officials in the palace, and when it comes to the day of marriage, she naturally has to dress up. After bathing, it is necessary to repeatedly use skin care agents made of mung bean powder as the main raw material and Western Regions perfume to rub the face and rub the body; Then use honey, rose petals and other raw materials to coat the face, with a high-grade paper film that is rare for court ministers, and gently wipe it; It is also made of mutton fat, white frangipani and other raw materials, and applied repeatedly. The last process is to put incense powder on the face, draw eyeliner, apply eye shadow, draw green eyebrows, and wipe red lips; Then on the two faces, two cheeks were pounded out.

As for the hairstyle, of course, you have to choose to deal with it according to the prescribed looks. That's a "level", and it's bad to be like a concubine. Whether it is a romantic "flying bun" or a novel "updo", it is necessary to consider the convenience of wearing a phoenix crown and fit the bride's face shape. Two locks of sideburns, no matter what, must "naturally droop", like flowing cicada wings, so that the emperor's son-in-law will shine when he sees it.

As soon as the auspicious time arrived, the introspective capital knew that Wang Dezuo asked the queen to dress up, and asked the queen to put on a hijab and send the queen on the sedan chair. The queen is happy to carry the sedan chair for 16 people, the palace maids hold the incense burner in front, 40 red-clothed guards hold the lamp, 100 officers hold 40 pairs of pole lamps, 40 pairs of lanterns, and the ministers of civil and military affairs lead the way and march vigorously to the imperial city.

As early as the day before the celebration, the inside and outside of the Forbidden City of the Imperial Palace had already been arranged with joy. The front and back of the palace are set up with red ribbons, and the red double happiness words, auspicious words, auspicious patterns, and paper-cutting can be seen everywhere. The royal road is covered with red carpets, hundreds of pairs of street lamps on both sides of the royal road, and countless colorful lanterns of all kinds, arranged like a magpie bridge in the sky.

When the auspicious time comes, the bride will be promoted to the public and set off. The large group of people and horses passed through the front gate and entered the palace along the royal road, and the bells and drums on the city tower rang in unison at this time. The team enters the imperial city from the middle door of the palace gate, the queen enters, rings the bell and drum, the class welcomes the official retreat, is to descend the car in, the second ascending Yu enters the Duanli Gate, the Wende Palace, the East Pavilion Gate, and the back door of the Wende Palace, and enters the inner East Gate to descend the public opinion.

After arriving at the harem gate, after the queen's guard of honor entered, the chamberlains and palace maids lined up in the aisle and slapped "warmly welcomed". In His Majesty Dan, the greeting envoy also returned to life. In the sound of drums, the officials of the Ministry of Rites presented the queen's gold book and gold treasure to the relevant people and displayed them in the palace. The ceremony where the bride sits is sent to worship heaven and earth and make great rituals by the lady, female officials, and palace maids, or leading, carrying, supporting, or following.

At the same time, several other selected concubines were also welcomed into the palace, but this ceremony had nothing to do with them, and they were carried into the harem from the back door or the east and west gates, respectively, and entered their own cold halls, which could not help but make people feel more desolate compared to the vigor in front. And Zhao Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, he finally got through it......
