Chapter 857: Qixi Festival
Li Yu returned to Beijing with the Tiger Wolf Army.
When I returned to Chang'an City, it was already late summer and early autumn.
At this time, the weather in Chang'an City is not good, it is neither hot nor cold, and the autumn is high and cool.
Everything was very comfortable.
Moreover, the prosperity of Chang'an City is incomparable to other places, and after coming back, Cheng Biting Jin and these people couldn't help but linger in the east and west cities for a long time.
After Li Yu returned to the palace, he had to linger with Queen Su Rong and Qi Rou.
These days are by no means comparable on the outside.
Break a little bit of a new love.
Not enough, a few days later, in July, Su Rong suddenly found Li Yu.
"Shengshang, it will be Qixi in a few days, I am going to set up a banquet in the imperial garden, and invite the families of the courtiers to celebrate a Qixi Festival, I don't know what the saint wants?"
Qixi Festival is a very important festival in the Tang Kingdom, and it is similar for other countries.
On the day of Qixi Festival, there are different customs in various places, and the customs of the Tang Kingdom are simple, that is, to put river lanterns to make wishes, or to play a game of threading needles and threads, etc.
These customs have been around for a long time, and they are very deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but after hearing Su Rong's words, Li Yu was stunned for a moment.
Qixi Festival in later generations, it is the Valentine's Day of the Chinese people, it is a good time for men and women to date, and now it is just a river lantern or something, which is a little boring.
After thinking about it, Li Yu said, "If the queen wants to set up a banquet, naturally there is no problem, but in addition to the family members, you might as well call out the marriageable men and women in the court's ministers' mansions." ”
"Call them out too, what is the Holy Lord going to do, draft girl?" Su Rong was a little cautious, although the Son of Heaven could have many women, he didn't really want this kind of thing to happen to Li Yu.
Li Yu is here, but he can't cry or laugh.
"What kind of draft girl, Qixi Festival, give those marriageable men and women some opportunities, let them get in touch, maybe, you can match several pairs."
Hearing what Li Yu meant, Su Rong breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately after, she shook her head and smiled bitterly, "Holy Lord, do you think it's so easy for the children of those officials in the DPRK and China to want to be together?" ”
"With the opportunity to get in touch, it will naturally be easier."
Su Rong pursed her lips, "The saint is a smart person, and the concubines know everything, don't you understand?" ”
"What does the queen mean?" "These courtiers and ministers marry, each has its own purpose, and they will marry only if they are helpful to the development of their own family, you let them meet like this, even if they really like each other, I am afraid that they are powerless, if they really love each other, they will be separated by their respective families, so it is easy to cause some trouble, although the idea of the saint is good, but it can't be done."
If people who love each other really want to be together, but someone beats the mandarin ducks, then the final result of this matter will not be very good.
Throughout the ages, there have been countless such things, aren't Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai a good example?
The best way is to not give them a chance, so that they can marry according to their parents' wishes.
After hearing Su Rong's words, Li Yu suddenly frowned, he felt that this matter was a little bad.
First, because of some purpose of marriage, won't it cause trouble, because you don't want to marry and have an accident, I'm afraid of a lot, right?
In addition, the marriage between officials is of some help to the increase in the power of the ministers, but the relationship between the courtiers is getting closer and closer, and the imperial power is bound to be weakened.
It may not seem that the situation is very serious now, but if it goes on over time, I am afraid that the situation is a little bad.
After thinking for a moment, Li Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as men and women really love each other, I will make decisions for them and give them marriages, and the queen will arrange it like this." ”
Seeing Li Yu say this, Su Rong hesitated, but she was a smart person, she had just told the situation, and after thinking about it carefully, she naturally heard what Li Yu really meant.
It is false to let men and women have a good home, and it is true to want to break up the marriage between officials.
Forming a party for personal gain has always been a difficult problem to solve, and now that the Tang State is getting stronger and more prosperous, this situation will naturally become more and more obvious.
You need to prevent it in time.
After understanding what Li Yu meant, Su Rong also bowed her head and responded.
---------------------
On the Qixi Festival, the news of the palace banquet to be held in the imperial garden soon spread.
In addition, the children of various officials can also go together, and if they find their favorite person at the palace banquet, they can also be given marriage, etc.
When the news spread, officials in the DPRK and China quickly began to talk about it.
"What does the Holy Lord mean by doing this?"
"Who knows, really, isn't it a joke to let these children look for the right person?"
"Yes, what do these children know, what do they know?"
The officials of the DPRK and China said this, but they were faintly uneasy in their hearts, for these people, the happiness of their children is not important, but whether it is beneficial to them is important.
What if these children choose one at the feast at random, but this person doesn't help them much?
When everyone said this, they also began to think about going home and how to talk to their children so that they would not know the sense of proportion when the time came.
And when the news spread like this, Chen Xuanxuan, the eldest lady of the Chen Mansion, was distressed.
Her father Chen Xin is ready to marry him to Changsun Wen, the son of Changsun Wuji, for the sake of power, the eldest grandson's family is definitely a big family, but she doesn't like Changsun Wen at all.
wanted to object, but her father didn't allow it at all.
Moreover, the eldest grandson Wen will come to propose marriage in a few days, and his father will definitely agree at that time.
She had been in pain for a long time for this.
"Why would you marry me to someone I don't like?" Chen Xuanxuan didn't understand that from childhood to adulthood, her father loved him very much, as long as it was something he wanted, his father would satisfy him.
Only in terms of marriage, his father did not give her a chance to choose at all, saying that she had to marry whoever she married.
But in her opinion, she would rather not have the fatherly love of the past, as long as the marriage is free now.
However, she had no other choice.
She thought about running away, but if she did, would it lead to bad consequences?
Moreover, she hasn't been outside either, so she doesn't know if she can really escape, what if she escapes, what if she meets a bad guy?
And at this time, her maid Qing'er suddenly ran over in a hurry, "Miss, Miss, I'll give you good news." Hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan pursed her lips, "What good news can you have?" ”
