Heavenly Sounds "." 2. The marriage of the Son of Heaven is an important matter of the country, according to the "Book of Rites": the appointment of the marriage, each has a period, the common people for one month, the doctor for one season, the princes for half a year, and the Son of Heaven for one year,...... Finally, the Golden Palace was canonized, and this series of ceremonial procedures came down, and in less than a year or two, the emperor couldn't touch the door of the cave at all!

However, these complicated etiquette have nothing to do with the little emperor - Liu Xie, his big wedding is characterized by from, from the province, from the simplicity, the etiquette that could only be completed in more than a year, it only took half a month to produce results, this is his great luck, but also a great misfortune!

"Your Majesty ascended the throne as a young man, and he became rich in the spring and autumn, so he should choose the best to match, and he was ...... in the palace, and he set up the daughter of Fu Wan in the servant - Fu Shou as the queen of the main palace, the daughter of Prime Minister Cao Cao - Cao Xian, and the sister of the general Dong Cheng - Dong Wan as the concubine, and the daughter of the minister of the scholar clan, six people with both talent and virtue to enrich the harem, and the marriage was completed on the same day!"

The little emperor got married within half a month, and he wanted to marry nine wives at a time, such a strange will was issued, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were collectively silent, including the diehard loyalists of the Han family, none of them spoke out against it, for two reasons, one is money, and the other is power!

First of all, there is no money in the treasury, a locust plague swept the Central Plains, more than a dozen counties of crops have not been harvested, the people are crying in the wilderness, countless people have died, the imperial court can not collect taxes at all, and has to allocate a large amount ......of money and grain for disaster relief, the state and county treasury is exhausted, prices are rising, rice is as expensive as pearls, Xun Yu, Xun Yu several interior ministers are worried about a lot of U-turn, I really want to break a copper coin into two halves!

Fortunately, the disaster relief in Xuzhou was effective, the autumn grain was harvested, and the sea salt was dried hard, and a lot of money and refined salt were handed over to the imperial court, which barely maintained the operation of the national finances, but the wolf was more and less meat, and in the year of the catastrophe, the country needed too many places to use money, and finally Prime Minister Cao Cao ordered: "The money and grain are used for military conquest and relief to the victims, and the rest of the daily government expenses, including hundreds of officials and Lu, are made up for by refined salt!" ”

That is to say, in addition to the army conquest and relief of the victims, the state's other financial expenditures are all paid to refined salt, everyone tightens their belts to live, and the same is true for civil and military officials, who have worked hard for a month, and can only take dozens of refined salt home, this is their money, from now on, the whole family will eat salt, drink salt, wear salt, and sit on the salt pile to live, and in the long run, there is definitely a danger of becoming a bat!

Drinking salt and fruit belly every day, no one can stand it, the civil and military officials are blue with a blue face and a purple tongue, but they don't dare to speak out against it, Prime Minister Cao Cao leads by example, even his Yulu is receiving refined salt, what else do others have to say, let's go to the national disaster together, there will always be a way, people can't be killed by salt!

So, there was a strange scene in Xuchang City, the court officials usually work in the government office, as soon as the day of vacation, many people put on coarse cloth clothes, put on the fine salt just put on their backs, and go to the market to sell loudly, these people are not bullied, the price is fair, and the delivery can be done to the door, and soon get the praise of the people!

Li Min is suffering, hundreds of officials are difficult, as the co-lord of the world, the emperor can not be extravagant and wasteful, the hundred officials discussed, the matter of choosing a concubine, one is to marry, three are also married, simply put the marriage together, one dragon and three phoenixes, it is also a beautiful talk!

The outer court did not encounter resistance, and the inner palace was also very smooth, if the wedding of the Son of Heaven was simplified because of the emptiness of the treasury, even if Liu Xie could endure it, Princess Haiyan would also fight desperately with the ministers, this Royal Highness was the most protective of the majesty of the royal family, in fact, she did not speak out against it, but secretly accelerated the process of the wedding, with only one purpose...... Pro-government!

The Han family is in decline, the lord is weak and the minister is strong, and the power of the court has always been in the hands of Prime Minister Cao Cao, the reason is: "The emperor is young, it is difficult to take charge of military affairs, the old man has been in power for a few years, and when His Majesty is an adult, it is not too late to return to power!" ”

The right is the most charming, once in the hand, no one will give up easily, except for the death of the party, Cao Cao since he was in power, conscientious, external to the princes, internal repair of the people's livelihood, the country's governance has been quite improved, but the return of power, do not mention!

In order to regain power, the royal family has also made several efforts, and also held a 'coming-of-age crown ceremony' for the little emperor, but the effect was very poor, in the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, Cao Cao's authority was suppressed to death, and this big wedding is another attempt by the royal family to seize power!

In the homes of ordinary people, once a young man gets married, it is announced that he has entered the ranks of adults, he can be the master of the house, exercise a lot of power, and the same is true for the emperor, after the wedding, no one can say that Liu Xie is the young master, as an adult monarch, he can handle the government justifiably, participate in the decision-making of military affairs, and then slowly take back the power in his own hands!

In addition, in order to eliminate Cao Cao's vigilance, the little emperor accepted his daughter as a concubine, and the two parties concluded a marriage, putting Cao Cao in the lofty position of 'Guozhang', and wanted to exchange his false name for real power...... The question is, will everything go smoothly?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The first year of Xingping, December 18, the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to marry, be good at traveling, and be lucky!

Ordinary people's weddings, are the groom riding a tall horse, with rich gifts to marry, the little emperor does not, he just need to change into a red dress, sit in the palace, the ministers will send the bride to the door, this is one of the privileges of the Son of Heaven!

In the prime minister's house, the lanterns are colorful, the gongs and drums are noisy, and the guests who come to congratulate are even more crowded, endlessly, regardless of the number of officials, or the rank of the knighthood, they are far better than the other two, everyone knows in their hearts that although Cao Xian is a concubine, but relying on the strong background of his mother's family, compared with the real queen, there is no better!

The Cao family married a daughter, Xiao Yi naturally came, this is also a good opportunity to observe, accumulate some experience, several sisters in the family sooner or later have to marry is not ......, the difference is that the other guests are all wearing dresses, giving up their hands to congratulate, except for Xiao Yi, wearing the 'claw pattern cold iron armor', wearing the 'Chiyou ghost helmet', holding a sword, the little face is also gloomy, exuding a strong murderous aura, a look of going into battle to cut people, standing in the group of guests, absolutely standing out from the crowd!

According to the marriage customs of the Han Dynasty, when the bride gets married, in order to avoid ghosts and ghosts to follow, a general must be selected to guard with a sword, and use the evil spirit of the generals to deter those evil ghosts and ghosts, so as to keep safe, needless to say, such a glorious and arduous task naturally falls on Xiao Yi's head, among the generals, there is no more murder than him!

"The auspicious time has come, please let the newcomers out of the cabinet!" With a shout from the celebrant, the wedding began!

In the melodious music, Cao Xian wore a gold-rimmed long-sleeved skirt, a red phoenix robe, a xia veil on his shoulders, a tassel on his head, and a gold silk soft shoe under his feet, which was inlaid with pearls with the word Xi ......, and walked slowly out of the boudoir accompanied by his two younger sisters!

Although the wedding is simple, the bride's dress can not be sloppy, last night at the third watch, Cao Xian began to prepare, first with honey, petal water carefully bathed, and then the whole body incense, after wearing, the face was sprinkled with a layer of incense powder, sketching green eyebrows, lightly wiping red lips, and then with a variety of jewelry, the already graceful little beauty, immediately added three points of beauty!

"Woo! …… Whining! ”

There is no woman who doesn't cry when she gets married, Cao Xian cries is the pear blossom with rain, three steps and one turn, keep looking at her small building, her eyes are full of reluctance, she is quite afraid of entering the palace as a concubine, as for the little emperor, he is a stranger who has never met!

No matter how long the road is, there will be an end, in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the bride is going to say goodbye to her parents, because her biological mother died early, so it is Cao Cao and Mrs. Ding who came out to receive the ceremony!

"If you are not filial to your family, please take care of your father and mother!" Cao Xian knelt on his knees and cried even more, I don't know if he was really reluctant to his parents, or crying for his fate!

"Idiot, the palace gate is like the sea, intrigue, you must be careful, and ...... At home, they are father and daughter, and they marry as kings and ministers, so let's do it for themselves in the future! Cao Cao patted his daughter's shoulder, his eyes were extremely complicated, there was reluctance, love, and a hint of vigilance!

The traitor is also a human being, his own daughter is married, and he is naturally reluctant in his heart, Cao Cao also hopes that his daughter can live happily, and he is also worried about her life in the court, this is the love of a loving father!

On the other hand, the daughter who marries out, the water that is spilled, from now on, Cao Xian is a member of the royal family, a husband and a child, and abides by the ...... of women, but the relationship between the palace and the prime minister is very delicate, this daughter will stand on that side in the future, it is difficult to say, this is the worry of the traitor!

"Father, don't worry, the woman marries and obeys the husband, and the child knows what to do!" The sisters of the Cao family are all soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, Cao Xian bit her lips tightly, but the words she said were loud...... "From now on, I will be a member of the Liu family!" ”

"Whoa...... What a guts! ”

"Hmm...... Is she still a member of the Cao family? ”

…………………………

The relatives and friends present were all surprised, some even spit out their little tongues, they have seen a lot of daughters, and they are the first ones with such a personality, is this saying goodbye to their parents? This is a blunt declaration of war!

"Haha! …… Good boy, worthy of being my Cao Mengde's daughter, a hero among real women! Cao Cao was slightly stunned, but did not get angry, but looked up to the sky and laughed, "Where is Xiao Lang, escorting the little girl into the palace with a sword, shocking Xiaoxiao, and pretending to be pretending!" ”

"No!"
