Chapter 583: Marriage and Joy, Nine Swords Gather (5)
As the saying goes, three days in the cave, a thousand years in the world.
Time is the most unpredictable and unpredictable. Wang Mang led Wang Jingyan and Shangguan Ningxuan to Dingxi Pass, and more than a month has passed unconsciously, and today is also the wedding day of Wang Mang and Shi Xiuying, the princess of Dawan Kingdom.
At this moment, the city lord Li Ming had already spread this great news throughout Gansu.
Especially in Dingxi Pass, the people here are even more boiling, and every household puts up lanterns to celebrate Wang Mang's wedding.
As for other more distant areas of Kyushu, Wang Mang did not deliberately summon the interrogation, but he did not hide it either. Those high-level figures of the princes of the family have basically heard of one or two before, and more or less sent a few people to congratulate them, but these people did not go to the city lord's mansion to meet Wang Mang in advance, and they all wanted to meet and give gifts at the wedding.
This time, Wang Mang's wedding was not arranged in the city lord's mansion, but in a huge arena in the east of Dingxi Guan.
This arena was originally a place for the training of officers and soldiers in the army, a place for resolving private grievances and duels, and a place for the city lord to gather the people to discuss major issues when he encountered a major event.
The place is very vast, and it can accommodate forty or fifty thousand people.
The reason why Wang Mang arranged the venue here is also to better meet the needs of the general public, so that those who want to watch the ceremony can come to participate without formality. If it is arranged in the City Lord's Mansion, firstly, the place is too small, and secondly, it is not easy for ordinary people to go.
After the news of Wang Mang's wedding today was transmitted, many people in Dingxiguan came to this arena early, and sat in their own positions, waiting for the auspicious time to come.
As for the walls around the arena, the chief soldier Zhang Sheng had already arranged for countless soldiers to guard the town, with banners standing in a forest, drums shaking the sky, and spears shining with cold light, deterring those unscrupulous people.
Without knowing it, it seems that there is not a wedding here, but a high-level general who wants to give a lecture and is about to go on an expedition.
Because Wang Mang's identity is extraordinary, and Shi Xiuying is the princess of Dawan Kingdom, this arena has also been renovated to be magnificent, majestic and tall, and shocking.
At the gate of the arena, there are eight people who are responsible for receiving guests. These eight people are literate and martial, well-informed, extraordinarily intelligent, and extremely good at dealing with emergency matters, and they are all Li Ming's henchmen.
This is specially arranged by Li Ming, because ordinary ordinary welcome characters are not enough to deal with such a big occasion, and only well-informed people can be calm and calm without losing face.
Around 9 a.m., a large number of gift-givers began to arrive. Most of these gift-givers were city lords, prefects, and frontier officials. They are all very optimistic about Wang Mang's development prospects, and they all want to take advantage of this opportunity to get close to Wang Mang and lay a good foundation for the future.
In this way, time passed slowly, although Wang Mang did not deliberately publicize the wedding, but those city lords and prefects who came to congratulate them were still in an endless stream, and there were hundreds of people.
In a blink of an eye, an hour or two passed, and the people sent by Wang Mang and the neutral middle-level officials to celebrate and give gifts had basically arrived.
Wang Mang looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, and muttered to himself: "There are already a lot of ordinary grassroots officials, and those people from the big families should also come now, right?" Only after they came, Ji Yun and the others would show up. ”
As soon as his words landed, the personnel guarding the door to greet the guests shouted loudly: "The Xiongnu Kingdom Da Dan Yu brought the nine sons of the dragon and the left king and the right king to arrive."
"What, the Huns are here? The generals of the left king, the right king, and the nine sons of the dragon are also here? Aren't they afraid of being intercepted and killed? ”
Many people, scholars, knights, and middle-level officials who sat down early heard this shout, and they were all surprised, and they exchanged their heads and ears, and they were very surprised.
They didn't expect Wang Mang's face to be so big, and even the big Dan Yu of the Xiongnu Kingdom came to give gifts in person to celebrate.
When Wang Mang heard the voice, he immediately got up and greeted him.
When he came to a position about twenty paces away from Da Dan Yu, he stopped, and said with a smile: "Da Dan Yu, Lord Zuo Wang, Lord Right Wang, generals, why are you all here?" How can I afford this? ”
Da Shan Yu said: "Hahaha, I admired the battle that day. You have a famous saying, called if you don't fight, you don't know each other. Since then, I have been very impressed by your talent and heroism, Lord Wang.
This time, you marry the princess of Dawan Kingdom and solve the grudge between Dahan and Dawan Kingdom, how can I not come? Besides, now I, the Huns, and your Han have also formed an alliance, and they are not hostile. As a pillar of the Han Kingdom and my neighbor, I should attend your wedding. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a great pity? ”
"Your Majesty has a point." Mocking Wind and the Nine Sons of the Dragon said: "Wang Mang, you led the army to defeat us that day and forced us back to the royal court, although we are very angry that you ruined Da Danyu's plan to conquer the Han Dynasty, but we still admire your ability very much.
As soldiers, the private enmity of the country is the private enmity of the country, and the personal affection is the personal affection, which cannot be mixed up. If our two countries are in a state of hostility, I will kill you by all means. If our two countries are not in a state of hostility, I should raise a glass with you, and then I will be a true hero. ”
"What a real hero!" Wang Mang laughed again: "You have clear grievances, without losing the style of a husband, it is really my luck that I, Wang Mang, can make friends with you." I'm not used to being obsessed with etiquette, so I didn't arrange this wedding in the same old way as etiquette. If there is anything simple and sloppy, please bear with me. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you have a drink and a seat to sit." Big single in the road.
Wang Mang nodded, and led the people to the upper left seat to sit down.
Everyone who watched the ceremony around saw that Da Shan Yu and others were so heroic, and they all admired it in their hearts. thinks that putting aside all kinds of national enemies and family hatreds, Da Shan Yu is indeed a big man and a real hero.
After Da Shan Yu took his seat, the greeters shouted again: "Bullard, the prime minister of the Yue Clan, Mandrola, the general of the Dawan country, and the prime minister of Loulan praise the de. ”
"Boom!"
The arrival of these high-level powerful figures in the foreign countries shocked everyone again, and they were dumbfounded and speechless.
"This, this, since Han Gaozu founded the Han Dynasty, I am afraid that there are so many high-ranking figures from foreign countries who came to celebrate the wedding of Lord Wang, right?"
"Back then, when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty married Empress Wei, no one from these foreign countries came to celebrate. The same is true of Emperor Xuan of Han, the lord of Zhongxing. ”
"Saint, saint, saint."
"Lord Wang is really worthy of a saint, his wedding can attract the important ministers of foreign countries to come to congratulate, and this wedding is not a wife, but a wife. If they take a proper wife, will not all the kings of these nations come? ”
"This is really a great event that has been passed down through the ages, and it is a rare thing to leave a name for eternity."
"The name of a saint is well deserved. In the whole world, apart from Lord Wang, who else has such prestige, such charm, and such a high reputation? ”
"The saint has clouds, the saint comes out, the barbarians are subdued, and the ghosts and gods retreat. Now all the barbarians of all countries have come to celebrate the wedding of Lord Wang, which is enough to show that Lord Wang deserves the title of saint, and it is enough to calm the world and create a prosperous world. ”
