Chapter 134: Liu Xia's Wedding
On the day of Liu Xia's wedding, many heroes from all over the world rushed to Luoyang City, and the two elite troops of the Yingyang Battalion and the Guards Regiment defended Luoyang City more strictly, and at the same time, more than 200 investigators were transferred from all over the city to manage public security and patrol everywhere. The scholars were already in their places by now.
The inns in Luoyang City were basically crowded with people from all over the world and merchants at this time.
A day in advance, the representatives of the Nanjing royal family had already come to Luoyang City with gifts and Liu Rushi, and handed Liu Rushi and the gifts to Wang En.
Wang En immediately informed Liu Xia that someone had come from Nanjing. Liu Xia urgently convened a secret meeting on the night of his wedding.
Everyone wondered why people came from Nanjing.
Chen Liu frowned and said: "General, we rebelled against Nanjing's intentions and refused to lead troops. Now not only did they not say anything, but they also brought so many gifts, and even dedicated them to the general a beauty of the country, and I heard that this Liu Ru was originally the concubine of Qian Qianyi, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites. Poetry and etiquette, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient, and Cai Wenji is also a world. There's something wrong with that. ”
Liu Xia nodded, for Liu Ru is a famous talented woman in ancient and modern times, the great beauty Liu Xia can be said to have been in love for a long time, but if there is a great danger, Liu Xia can bear it, after all, Liu Xia is not Dong Zhuo, and he will not disregard his life because of lust. It's normal for men to be, but it's on the premise of their own safety. So he said, "Meng Yu." ”
The commander of the Supervision Division, the Long Group, commanded Meng Yu to take two steps forward and said respectfully: "The subordinates are here." ”
Liu Xia asked, "Can you Dragon Group get some information about this?" ”
Meng Yu's brows furrowed into Sichuan characters, about the news of Nanming's affairs, he didn't think of any news now.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of miscellaneous footsteps outside the study. Everyone in the room closed their mouths for a moment.
There were several guards guarding the outside of the house, and Liu Xia was not worried about assassination.
At this time, a voice came from outside: "Back to General Hui, Nan Mingke has important news coming. ”
According to Liu Xia's order, the dragon group was divided into Nan Mingke, which was specifically responsible for Nan Ming's military investigation. The Manchu Qing Section was responsible for military investigations on the Manchu side. The Onishi Branch has not yet been established, and is responsible for the military investigation of the Onishi regime in Sichuan. There are also Mongolian branches, etc.
When everyone heard the word Nanming, they immediately became excited.
Liu Xia hurriedly said, "Come in." ”
At this time, the door of the house creaked open, and I saw a middle-aged Fen Yong lieutenant walking in from the outside, and said respectfully: "General Hui, when our meticulous work was monitoring Nanming's envoy, we accidentally saw a holy decree. So he took advantage of the eunuch's inattention to take a look at the contents of the holy decree. I saw that the holy decree said to let the general return to Nanjing. And it is said that this decree is to be read out tomorrow at the time of the general's wedding. ”
When Liu Xia heard this, his heart suddenly became cold. The imperial court is really calculating.
Although Liu Xia was sure that this holy decree would not lead to a mutiny when he was married, the news would definitely spread at an exponential speed like a cancerous cell, after all, there were all kinds of people who would come there for Liu Xia's wedding tomorrow, and the number of people was very large.
Chen Liu said coldly: "General, this Nanming is really calculating. But it would be impossible to prevent them from reading the decree, the general......"
Liu Xia snorted coldly: "Read, read or let them read, Ben Hou is not afraid of these little skills of Nanming." I said how Nanming is so good, it is to give gifts and beauties, it turns out that it is for this holy decree. In this case, Wang En, you have made good use of those gifts to Ben Hou, and take Na Liu Ru into the Hou Mansion, and find a small courtyard to settle down first. ”
Wang En immediately said respectfully: "My subordinates understand. ”
Chen Liu said in a condensed voice: "General, we still need to take precautions, for the generals, the generals are here, and they will not mutiny." But not necessarily with the scholars. Especially the scholars who have just been recruited and are now scattered in the county government. They are scholars, and their loyalty to the monarch is very serious, and they are very likely to mutiny. ”
Liu Xia said coldly: "Nanming is really calculating, hurry up and send the order, order the local army to control the county government, and not allow any scholars to go out, if anyone dares to make trouble, they will all be secretly executed after the wedding." ”
Now that killing people has become very casual in Liu Xia's mouth, blocking his own interests, then leaving a corpse!
Chen Liu admires Liu Xia for being clean and neat, and never indecisive.
"Yes!"
"In addition, it was reported that the pro-guard regiment, the Eagle Yang Battalion, would tighten the vigilance of Luoyang City. All the scholars' homes were stationed, and at the same time, the investigation department commanded the envoy to guard the tiger, and ordered the personnel of the investigation department to closely monitor them, and once they found that they wanted to rebel, they would immediately control it, and wait for the big wedding to solve it together. ”
The commander of the Investigation Department of the Captain of the Guards said respectfully: "The subordinates obey the order!" The brothers of the Investigation Division will definitely complete the task! ”
At this time, as soon as Liu Xia said this, those generals and soldiers found out that Liu Xia had secretly set up an investigation office, in fact, Liu Xia had nothing to hide, and it was better to be open. It's more intimidating.
This is their brocade guard in Luoyang! Everyone couldn't help but think in their hearts.
No one knew about the functions of Jinyiwei, but no one dared to speak to Liu Xia and cancel the functions of the Investigation Department. After all, it is impossible for those in power to give up such an eyes.
In addition, Luoyang City is closely monitored, especially the wedding scene, to prevent people from making trouble. Everyone present must be invited, and those who do not have an invitation are not allowed to step into the wedding hall for half a step."
"Yes!"
When Liu Xia was discussing in the secret room, in the luxurious inn, the envoys of Nanming were also sitting together and whispering.
One of the eunuchs in brocade clothes said in a deep voice: "Tomorrow is Liu Xia's wedding, and we will read the holy decree at that time, so that everyone can know that we have read the holy decree." ”
"Did you go and find those officials in the shadows? What is their attitude? ”
One of the little eunuchs dressed in ordinary civilian clothes said in a low voice: "Back to the master, the slave went to find the new chief deputy judge of the court Huang Luyuan's family, this Huang Luyuan is a man in his thirties, and he is a person in the reign of Lord Chongzhen. Now I heard that Liu Xia saved the country, so I came to vote. is a very loyal person, the slave told him these things, he agreed, he will definitely ban Liu Xia, and swear to let Liu Xia lead the army back to Nanjing. According to his father-in-law's instructions, the servant told him that if this matter was completed, he would definitely give him a squire when he arrived in Nanjing. That Huang Luyuan was even more eager. ”
"Returning to the master, the servant went to the deputy secretary of finance, Qian Taiduo, told him about it, and promised him an official position, but this Qian Taiduo did not agree to the slave, but he did not object, and did not tell the truth. The slave thought that if he gave him some benefits, he would definitely surrender. ”
The brocade-clothed father-in-law nodded and said, "Everything that can be fought for must be won for the lord of this governor, and no one can be let go, and the things assigned by the pavilion elder must be successfully completed." Tomorrow is Liu Xia's wedding, we are all ready to prepare, cheer up tomorrow, and let that Liu Xia obediently follow us to Nanjing. Hmph, when Nanjing takes over his army, this Liu Xia will be brutally executed. I heard that there are many beauties in his house, although the governor is ...... But it can be given to others as a favor. ”
"That's what the Overseer said, and that's what the Overseer said."
The next day, the entire Luoyang City was boiling, today is September 9th, Liu Xia's wedding.
On the central avenue of Luoyang City, it is full of lights from beginning to end, and it is not much more than the previous New Year. The gongs and drums are beaten, and the mood is beaming.
When it was almost noon, the people who were qualified to come basically gathered in the hall in front of the Pingbei Hou Mansion at this time. The soldiers of the Guards Regiment and the Eagle Yang Battalion were always watching left and right, and many people from the rivers and lakes were shuttling through Luoyang City. The Eagle Battalion and the Pro-Guard Regiment privately prevented three assassinations. Didn't let a single Assassin break through their defenses.
Liu Xia was dressed in bright red clothes, rich and glorious. Bian Yujing stood on Liu Xia's left with a big red hijab. And Kou Baimen was also standing on Liu Xia's right with a big red hijab. The reason why Kou Baimen is like this is first of all that Liu Xia does not have the concept of a wife and concubine, after all, Liu Xia is not a person of this era, it doesn't matter what happens, in Liu Xia's opinion. So Liu Xia wanted Kou Baimen to attend the wedding together, but Liu Xia didn't implement it. Or is it because Bian Yujing specifically found Liu Xia and asked Liu Xia to marry Kou Baimen, after all, the two are like sisters, Bian Yujing couldn't bear Kou Baimen to be a concubine alone, so he let Kou Baimen be his wife and marry Liu Xia with her.
So Liu Xia shamelessly agreed, so now there is this scene, Liu Xia is not marrying one bride, but two. But this is nothing, how casual it is for a man to have three wives and four concubines in this society, most of them think it is normal.
Worship heaven and earth, worship parents (this seems to be wooden), husband and wife just finished worshipping, the eunuch in brocade over there shouted loudly: "The holy decree has arrived!" ”
Suddenly, the people who were unrestrained and happy cooled down. Many unknown people looked at each other, and their faces were full of doubts.
"The Divine Decree has arrived! Pingbei Hou Liu Xia came to receive the order! ”
Liu Xia scolded this dead eunuch fiercely in his heart, but the etiquette on the surface still made Liu Xia lead everyone forward, kneeling down and bowing: "My emperor is broken, broken and broken!" ”
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said. Today, Liu Xia, the Marquis of Pingbei, is loyal and patriotic. Fighting against foreign enemies is very hard. When it came to the wedding, I specially gave Ayara a thousand horses, four night pearls, and a few deer antler velvets. A number of corals. …………。 However, the imperial capital was out of defense, and the barbarian slaves were approaching. The emperor loses his color, and the ministers do not exist. Hear, Pingbei Hou is righteous and loyal, so he leveled Beihou Liu Xia into Beijing to strengthen the defense, and set off immediately from now on, there must be no mistake! Chin this! ”
