In the year 281 of Daguang, the eighteenth day of the lunar month, an auspicious day.

On this day, the damp and moist Shuzhong ushered in a rare winter clear sky.

Yang Yi, the groom, got up very early, but found that he still had nothing to do.

Yang Yi thought that according to the traditional wedding, he should be like the ancient wedding in his impression, wearing saffron on his chest, riding a white horse, and leading eight sedan chairs to marry his newlywed and beautiful woman home.

However, Lu Yuanliang told Yang Yi that ordinary people's weddings are naturally like this, but Yang Yi is different, he is the orthodox king of Shu, and Li Yu will also become the princess of Shu, and all wedding etiquette should be done according to the king's standards.

The day before the wedding, Liu Wenzheng served as a greeting envoy, leading hundreds of attendants, female officials and guards to build a temporary greeting platform in front of the Su Mansion.

In the early morning of the wedding, the welcoming procession consisted of a chariot, a guard of honor, and a propaganda team, and went to Su Mansion in a mighty way.

Li Yan was dressed in formal court clothes and led the Jiangnan envoys to greet him at the welcoming platform.

After the two sides saluted, the wedding envoy was welcomed into the house, and then the wedding envoy waited outside, and the attendants carried the bride price in.

Dozens of maids entered the boudoir prepared by the Su family for Li Yu, and wore the gold and silver jewelry hired by the Shu palace for Li Yu, and then under the guidance of the maids, they stood in the courtyard out of the boudoir, knelt down to the north, and Liu Wenzheng read out the edict of the concubine written by Zongzheng Temple on behalf of the emperor.

The content of the book is to canonize Li Yu as the concubine of the king of Shu, enter it into the royal classics, and be filial piety.

After the ceremony was completed, Li Yu got into a luxury carriage led by four horses, and slowly walked towards the Shu Palace, escorted by the welcoming team.

Along the way, the people of Shu greeted each other, and they were also full of respect for the new Shu princess, and they all saw that the king of Shu and the princess were a pair made in heaven.

An hour later, the welcoming team arrived at the Shu Palace, Yang Yi led hundreds of people up and down the palace, and hundreds of wedding envoys from all over the country waited at the door for a long time.

Liu Wenzheng held the edict in his hand and returned to the wedding after everything went smoothly, Yang Yicai welcomed Li Yu, who was covered with a red hijab, into the palace.

After Yang Yi welcomed Li Yu into the mansion, there was no procedure such as one worship of heaven and earth, two worship of the high hall, the two of them knelt down in front of the temporary altar, and Yang Jue began to read a long sacrificial text, the content of which was nothing more than to inform the royal ancestors of Yang Yi's identity and status, and Li Yu's status.

After burning incense and bowing, the maid introduced the bride into the new house, and Yang Yi, the groom, began to feast on the guests from all over the world.

There is no need to go into detail about the things between the wedding banquets, basically all parties come forward to report their names one by one, and then congratulate Yang Yi on his wedding, and Yang Yi returns the gift one by one.

After the luncheon, the real event begins.

Everyone in the world knows that Yang Yi's marriage is a very clear political marriage, and it is a manifestation of the alliance between Shuzhong and Jiangnan.

Since it is a political marriage, the wedding naturally cannot be so simple, therefore, at the suggestion of high-level officials in Shuzhong headed by Lu Yuanliang, Yang Yi decided to hold a military parade in Shuzhong on the day of the wedding.

As Lu Yuanliang said, this time Yang Yi's wedding, envoys from all parties came to congratulate, and their purpose was actually to explore the narrative of Shuzhong and figure out why Shuzhong could become so powerful in just a few years.

Since they want to know, simply let them know more thoroughly, and let these people see the strength of Shuzhong is also a strategic policy, so that Shuzhong can have scruples when it comes to foreign affairs in the future.

As envoys from all sides, they didn't understand what Yang Yi was doing.

The ancient and long-standing culture of the Central Plains has always advocated humility and forbearance, and to put it more bluntly, wealth is not exposed, but Yang Yi wants to show everyone the strength of Shuzhong, which really means to show off his might.

However, no matter whether these envoys were happy or not, no one could contain the curiosity in their hearts, and it was originally the purpose of their trip to find out the strength of Shuzhong.

In the past few days, many envoys have spent all day and wine in the city of Chengzhou, and have an understanding of the prosperity of Shuzhong, if they can find out the strength of the Shu army, then their mission to Shuzhong will be completed perfectly.

After the luncheon, under the escort of the Chengzhou army, Yang Yi and his envoys went to the north gate of Chengzhou City.

Along the way, Chengzhou City was already empty of thousands of people, and almost all of the officers and soldiers of the Chengzhou Army who were guarding and patrolling had gone to the north gate.

Coming to the north gate of Chengzhou City, Lu Yuanliang had been waiting there for a long time.

Under the guidance of Lu Yuanliang, Yang Yi and envoys from all over the country stepped up to the city wall.

Coming to the top of the city tower, Yang Yi stood in the middle of the place, Li Yan was on the left, Lu Yuanliang was on the right, and then Liu Wenzheng, Dong Yuan, and all the officials in Shuzhong, as well as the envoys from all sides unfolded in turn, from top to bottom, looking outside the city.

Outside the city gate, about 20,000 soldiers are neatly lined up into more than a dozen phalanxes, and countless black dragon military flags unique to the Shu army flutter gently in the winter wind, and the soldiers stand tall and quiet, and they will not be moved even if the cold wind blows, as if tens of thousands of lifeless terracotta figurines are standing under the city.

There are whispers in the envoy team, and there are many people in these envoys who are from leading generals, just looking at the strict discipline of the Shu army, you know that this must be a strong army. Everyone was talking to themselves, when suddenly a captain in the army under the city shouted loudly: "Let's !! Soldiers! ”

Immediately, tens of thousands of sergeants sang in unison:

"What's the difference between us soldiers

Just because we are all dressed in modest military uniforms

Since I left my hometown, it has been difficult to see my parents

It's the same when it comes to saying it's different

They are all young and hot-blooded

The same footprints are left to the mountains and rivers

We soldiers are different

The bright moon with her head resting on the border is covered with wind and frost...."

Although the timbre of these soldiers is uneven, the melody of this military song of Yang Yi's previous life is catchy, and the lyrics are simple and easy to understand but full of family and country feelings.

The envoys were dumbfounded, and Li Yan beside Yang Yi asked softly: "Boss, I heard my father talk about the battle of Qianzhou, and the Shu army sang a song to open the gate of Qianzhou, I still don't believe it, see you today..."

Li Yan gave Yang Yi a thumbs up, and said, "You wrote this first soldier, right?" Hiss... I said, where did you come up with all these weird ideas? When will you help us write a military song for Linjiang Army? “

Yang Yi smiled and didn't speak, motioning for Li Yan to continue looking.

After the military song was sung, the military parade ceremony officially began.

In front of the military formation, a school military platform was built, and the main general in charge of the parade, Hong Zhi, held the sword hanging from his waist with his right hand, his eyes were like torches, and he stood proudly.
