Chapter 1: Wedding Requiem
More than 1,400 years ago, on the eve of the prosperity of the Sui and Tang dynasties, the land of China entered a world of great contention where there is flesh and blood, and the world is divided into two.
Jiangzuo's Southern Liang inherited the mantle of the Han Dynasty, the gate valve was still constrained, and the twilight was dull and powerless to recover the homeland, and the Northern Wei Dynasty in the north was not to be outdone, after Emperor Xiaowen moved the capital to Luoyang, he immediately implemented a series of measures such as the Sinicization reform, because it was too urgent, too urgent, resulting in chaos, and the defense of the soft six military towns was marginalized, which directly led to riots.
The Northern Wei royal army failed one after another in the process of quelling the rebellion, and the leader of the Qihu tribe, Er Zhurong, saw that the foundation of the Northern Wei Dynasty had been lost, and imitated the Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao to enter Luoyang to coerce the princes of the Son of Heaven.
He Luyue and Gao Huan, who were attached to the account of the Erzhu group, rose respectively, He Bayue led two thousand tired soldiers, swept the land of Sanqin, Gao Huan collected the displaced people of the six towns to follow the example of Emperor Wei Wu to train a new army, and successively annexed Jizhou, Bingzhou, Qizhou, and Youzhou, and the strength increased greatly, and the main force of Xianbei was invincible, and the puppet Yuan Xiu was appointed as the emperor, and the court was controlled remotely in Jinyang.
Yiyi Xi Wanghe Batyue is growing stronger step by step, with a plan of discord, set up to kill He Batyue, and when he was overjoyed, he sent his generals to wait for Jing to receive his subordinates, but he didn't want to usher in the real rival of his life, ---- Yuwentai.
Yu Wentai, who was born in the same six towns, was deeply reused by his fellow townsman He Batyue, and was a person who could not leave for a while, and He Batyue must personally consult Yuwentai after making a major decision, after He Batyue was murdered, Yu Wentai of Ren Zuocheng was passing through Xiazhou, an important town.
Yuwentai judged the situation, and the single horse scared away the Gao Huan main general who came to receive the army, because of his transcendent status, he was slightly unparalleled, and was elected as the military master, and carried the banner of revenge for He Bayue, and swore that he would not stand with the thief, and the king would never be partial.
Due to the weak military force, it was difficult to clear the pass, and to try to realize their dreams based on this, to unify Huaxia and live in peace, and to truly realize the integration of the Huaxia clan regardless of you and me, Gao Huan in the east saw that the Wuchuan army was growing, especially under the leadership of Yuwentai, he had no gaps to drill, so he turned to war to solve the problem.
In 535 AD, Gao Huan gathered 100,000 heavy troops, and the troops were divided into three ways to try to destroy the Wuchuan army in one fell swoop, directly attack Chang'an, and unify the north, our story begins here.........
A warm spring, the harsh winter has just passed, everything begins to recover, apricot blossoms and peach blossoms compete with each other to bud to be released, a peaceful scene, Chang'an City is bustling, crowded, although since the Wei and Jin dynasties, frequent wars, make Chang'an City quite dilapidated, but people seem to completely forget the scene in front of them, at the moment are paying attention to a happy event in Chang'an City...
Although the 27-year-old Yuwentai was not middle-aged, he was heroic and extraordinary, very handsome, fought in the south and the north, and was slightly unparalleled, and he took the weak brigade of Bayue, 1 year, cleared the enemy of Longyou in Guanzhong, and settled in Chang'an, although he won the hearts of the people and gained fame recently, but the population of Guanzhong, which had been plagued by war all the year round, was sharply reduced, and the soldiers were tired and the people were poor, how to enrich the country and strengthen the army? It was the subject before him.
Since the pacification of Longyou, purge the remnants of the forces, so that the ancient capital returned to calm, Emperor Xiaowu in order to win over Yuwentai to the east and Gao Huan confrontation, the edict to Yuwentai to add officials into the knighthood, the governor of the Chinese and foreign military, generals, Yongzhou assassin history, his sister Feng Yi eldest princess Xu to Yuwentai, into the title of the horse captain, military affairs by Yuwentai Shuli.
After the death of Emperor Xiaowu, Yuwentai led the support of the Yuan Bao Torch as the emperor, at this time it was located in the Prime Minister's Mansion in Chang'an City, a festive faction, although it was only the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the wide political hall, did not lose the dilapidated Weiyang Palace Hall, a large number of people gathered outside the Prime Minister's Mansion, all of them were festive to see the face of the eldest princess of the Great Wei.
The inside and outside of the main hall of the prime minister's mansion are decorated with green cloth curtains, the middle hall of the main hall is pasted with a big "Xi" word, both sides are thick red candles, and the red felt has been spread from the inner hall of the main hall to the door of the prime minister's mansion.
Emperor Yuan Bao Torch of the Western Wei Dynasty sat in the middle hall of the main hall, Yuwentai's subordinates were divided into two shifts, standing on both sides of the hall, waiting for their commander, at dusk outside the hall Yuwentai's most powerful governor Li Hu acted as a praise (master of ceremonies), and Yuwentai was waiting for the bride with a smile in the middle of the door outside the hall.
After a while, the bride Feng Yi, the eldest princess, was dressed in a mopping dress, wearing a sable crown, holding a peacock feather fan in both hands, walking in front, and the bridal maid in the back also followed. ”
The eldest princess Feng Yi and her entourage bent their knees and walked over with staggering steps, and when they were about to reach the main hall, the Metropolitan Governor Li Hu shouted again: "Stop. . . ”
The eldest princess Feng Yi resumed her normal walk and walked to Yuwentai outside the door of the main hall, and then Li Hu shouted again: "Huh. ”
Yuwentai saluted the bride and princess with both hands, and the eldest princess Feng Yi also returned the salute, and the two of them both walked into the hall of the green cloth mantle, and the Wei Emperor Yuan Bao Torch in the middle hall looked at the situation in front of him, and seemed to be out of this wedding.
The two came to the table below the middle hall, and then Li Hu shouted again: "But fan. . . ”
The shy eldest princess Feng Yi handed the feather fan to Yuwentai, Yuwentai was full of joy, and the eldest princess Feng Yi slowly looked up and saw Yuwentai, and she was also irrepressibly happy.
At this time, Li Hu, the governor of the capital who acted as the praise (master of ceremonies), shouted again: "Wo Xu."
The maids came to the two with basins, and after they both washed their hands, they wiped them with towels.
Yu Wentai and Feng Yi's eldest princess walked to the table that had been prepared under the middle hall of the main hall and knelt down.
At this time, I heard again: "Big wedding ceremony. . . ”
The maids came up with all kinds of food.
"Eat together...
At this time, Princess Feng Yi's maid Bi'er walked to the side of the food served, cut two pieces of meat with a knife and put them on different plates.
At this time, the Metropolitan Governor Li Hu shouted: "Drink the soup... ”
Both of them hid their faces and drank the soup.
"Smack-chan..."
Under the service of the maid, the two of them dipped the pieces of meat cut by Bi'er in the sauce and ate them.
"After the food ceremony, synthesize a family, and join the wine."
At this time, the maid brought the wine that had already been poured to the two newcomers.
Both of them hid their faces and drank.
"Drink again."
The maids on both sides of the table picked up the wine jug and poured wine into the wine jue.
Yu Wentai and Feng Yi's eldest princess invariably picked up the wine lord and drank it with their faces.
"Together..."
The maid took two and a half gourd scoops with a red thread in the middle, poured wine into the gourd scoop, and the two drank at the same time.
Metropolitan Governor Li Hu shouted again at this time: "Licheng... Husband and wife! ”
Yuwentai and Feng Yi's eldest princess both stood up, came to the case, and bowed face-to-face, at this time Feng Yi's eldest princess suddenly became serious, as if she was going to cry, after saluting, Yuwentai reached out to hold Feng Yi's eldest princess's hand, and her eyes signaled to Feng Yi's eldest princess, and Feng Yi's eldest princess held back.
"Help into the cave room, thank the guests, and the wedding feast begins."
The eldest princess Feng Yi was helped into the back hall by the bridal maid Bi'er.
Yuwentai's subordinates Wenchen all turned around and sat down on the table behind him, at this time, the already anxious emperor Yuan Bao Torch walked down the steps of the middle hall with the wine jue, and walked towards Yu Wentai, Yu Wentai saw the emperor Yuan Bao Torch walking towards him, and immediately bowed his body and saluted.
Emperor Yuan Baoju pretended to smile and said: "The prime minister doesn't have to make this big gift, he must treat my aunt well in the future!" ”
Yu Wentai slowly straightened up and said to the emperor Yuan Bao Torch: "Your Majesty Xie is honored to come to the cold house and participate in the wedding ceremony!" ”
Emperor Yuanbao Ju was about to reach adulthood at this time, with a stiff smile on his face, he took the wine and drank it all, and then said: "Aiqing are free, there are still things in the palace." ”
After saying that, the scene was silent, quite embarrassed, Yuwentai immediately knelt down, and when the ministers saw the prime minister kneeling, they left the case and knelt down one after another, and said in unison: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" ”
The emperor's Yuan Bao Torch's face sank at this time, glanced at the ministers, and finally walked straight out of the main hall, walked towards the gate of the general's mansion, and after getting into the sedan chair at the gate of the mansion, he muttered while crying in the sedan chair: "I am not reconciled, and I swear to get rid of the national thief." ”
Slowly walked towards the dilapidated Weiyang Palace, and on the way back to the palace, I heard that there seemed to be a commotion outside the sedan chair, and I lifted the sedan curtain to see it.
Three iron riders in black armor and black cloak with animal faces, one riding in the front two riding behind, and the two behind the back with a white flag on a black background, with "Wei" written on it, holding a token and shouting loudly: "Emergency military situation, pedestrians give way。。。。。 ”
Galloping in the direction of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the emperor Yuan Bao Ju put down the sedan curtain and said: "The big war is about to break out, and a good day is coming!" ”
In the Prime Minister's Mansion, after the emperor's ingots torch left, the atmosphere immediately became lively, the ministers talked and laughed, Zhao Gui suddenly got up and left the case and shouted, and said: "Colleagues, the lord welcomes the eldest princess of Dawei, the identity is more noble than before, and it is one step closer to our cause, I wish the lord a great joy together!" ”
All the ministers unanimously picked up the wine and said in unison: "I wish the lord a great joy and a hundred years of happiness!" ”
Yu Wentai said loudly: "Thank you! ”
After saying that, I drank it all.
Yuwentai motioned to the guard Cai You to pour the wine, and Yuwentai immediately picked up the wine and said, "Ministers! ”
The crowd fell silent.
Then he said: "You are all the ministers of the Western Wei Dynasty, thanks to the fact that in recent years, you have followed me to the east and the west, and finally created such a world!" ”
Saying that, he walked to Zhao Gui next to the wedding banquet table with the wine lord and said: "Yuan Gui (Zhao Guizi), when He Bagong was murdered by Hou Mo Chen Yue, it was you who did not avoid the sword soldiers, personally entered the enemy camp, and wanted to return the body of He Bagong, without your support, I would not have been able to take over the army smoothly and avenge the shame of Heba Gong!" ”
Metropolitan Governor Zhao Gui picked up his wine glass and shouted excitedly: "My lord. As it should be, don't mention it! ”
Yuwentai motioned for Zhao Gui to sit down, and walked to the sides of Li Bi's case, Li Bi immediately got up happily at this time, and listened to Yuwentai say: "If there is no public rebellion in time, it is impossible for me to quickly pacify Hou Mo Chen Yue to avenge the official of Heba!" ”
The Metropolitan Governor Li Bi picked up the wine at this time, and said happily: "The lord, Hou Mo Chen Yue, is fierce and timid, does not remember the friendship of his comrades at all, listens to Gao Huan's slanderous words and plots to kill He Bagong, we are also not ashamed of being a person, serve Ming Gong, and do not give up Ming Gong, we will swear to follow him to the death!" ”
Yuwentai looked around at the generals sitting next to the desk, and then said: "Everyone, are my lucky generals, are my good brothers, without you, there would be no me today, you all have the merit of Dingding, the merits of each of you are remembered in my heart, Guanzhong has been Dingding, the future should focus on the powerful Eastern Wei!" ”
Yu Wentai held the wine jue, frowned and said as he walked: "Gao Huan imitates Emperor Cao Cao of Wei Wu and successively annexed Qi, Merge, You, Hebei and other places, and then will invade Guanzhong, our foothold is not stable, the grain is scarce, the troops are not continuous, the strength is weak, and the left and south Liang of the Eastern Wei River are still very weak, and then I hope that you will help each other, inherit the way of heaven, except for the national thieves, I will not be verbose today, please enjoy the hearty drink!" ”
Everyone was talking and laughing, lively and lively, and after speaking, they toasted one by one, and at this moment the scout general shouted: "Emergency military situation... ”
The sudden shout suddenly broke the festive and lively atmosphere at this time, and everyone at the wedding ceremony was stunned, not knowing what was going on, and looked blankly at the general in black armor, black cloak, and beast face rushing in.
