Chapter 831: Resistance
In 761 A.D., the Spring Festival of the people of the Western Qin Dynasty was lively and lively, although the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty was not too lively at this time, but the living standard of the Western Qin was definitely much higher than that of the Central Plains at this time, and the Spring Festival was made to make some delicious food, especially the Shangyuan Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which was the most important festival in the entire Tang Dynasty, and its weight was heavier than the Spring Festival of later generations.

A few years ago, Zhao Ziliang ordered early that from the twelfth day of the first month to the sixteenth day of the first month, the night curfew was canceled in all parts of Western Qin, and the officials and people could play all night, and it would return to normal after the sixteenth day of the first month.
Early in the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhao Ziliang got up and walked to the patio in the backyard of the Jiedu Embassy's Mansion and stretched out his waist with his arms open, played a few punches and feet, stretched his muscles and bones, and felt much more energetic and refreshed.
I wiped the beads of sweat from my forehead, felt something fall from the sky, and looked up at the sky, and it was snowing heavily.
"My dear, why is it snowing in this γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»?" Zhao Ziliang was stunned for a long time.
The maids in the Jiedu envoy mansion soon found out that it was snowing, and the entire Jiedu envoy mansion suddenly became jubilant, and soon swept through the whole Heng Logos City.
I don't know when, Chen Qingying walked up to Zhao Ziliang and said, "We've been here for almost ten years, this is the first time it snows, right?" β
Zhao Ziliang came back to his senses and said: "For a long time, this place has never snowed in winter!" In the past two years, we have vigorously advocated afforestation, desert management, and desertification prevention and control. β
The west and north sides of Henglus City are endless deserts, where the wind and sand are strong all year round, the sun is strong, and it is often attacked by storm sand, after these two years, some trees and vegetation that are easy to survive in the desert are planted on a large scale around the desert, so that the wind and sand in this area have indeed decreased a lot, and the amount of rain throughout the year has also increased.
When Zhao Ziliang was still pleased that his management of the desert had been effective, Chen Qingying interrupted him: "This is your man's business, I can't take care of it!" By the way, I'm looking for you! β
Zhao Ziliang turned his head and said, "What's the matter?" β
Chen Qingying said: "Zhiyun has been with you for a while, why do you have to give her a name, right?" In the future, if she has a big belly, how will you make her face the world? β
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "After all, this matter is not allowed by today's mainstream moral thought, and it cannot be announced that the world and the beautiful Ming Media are marrying!" Then put on a few tables of banquets, choose a good day and an auspicious day to invite the main officials and generals of the military and political circles, although it is not considered that the scenery is eight sedan chairs and the media is marrying, but this style is not low, you see? β
Chen Qingying smiled when she heard this: "You still have a little conscience!" β
"At that time, how could I have treated you mother and daughter badly?"
Chen Qingying thought for a while and asked: "From the perspective of the slave family, it is better to choose a day than to hit the day, so I chose the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, which happens to be the day of celebration for the whole world, and the matter between you and Zhiyun is set on this day to be a happy celebration!" β
Zhao Ziliang said: "Okay, you let the housekeeper Wang Ru handle this matter!" β
"Hmm!"
On the tenth day of the first lunar month, the main military and political officials of the Western Qin Royal Court received invitations sent by the Jiedu Embassy, and the Prime Minister of the Government Council, Liu Wei, also received an invitation in his own house, and his face was a little bad after reading the invitation, "Isn't γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»this a nonsense?" If this marriage is spread, won't my Xiqin royal court be ridiculed by the world? β
Daughter Liu Ling happened to take a pair of children back to her parents' house, and she lived in her parents' house for the past two days, and her husband and wife Zhao Lei came together, and the husband and wife walked into the lobby just to see Liu Wei lose his temper.
Liu Ling saw her father lose her temper and stepped forward and asked, "Why is my father so angry?" β
Liu Wei handed the invitation to Zhao Lei and said: "Take a look, the king is going to marry a wife again, and this time he is still marrying his step-queen Zhiyun, isn't this nonsense?" This matter violates human ethics and is not tolerated by the world, and if it is spread, it will not only cause criticism, but also bring bad atmosphere! No, the old man is going to dissuade the king from this! β
Zhao Lei hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, don't go, this matter is best known to the son-in-law, Zhiyun fell in love with my father twenty years ago, I was not born at that time, and my father was not recognized by the world because of this matter, so he has always refused to do this, but Zhiyun has a strong temperament, so she identified my father, and she didn't look at other men, she has been waiting for twenty years, and she has become an old girl." Besides, since ancient times, there has been a husband with Emperor E, and it is not a matter of mother and daughter working together in this world, and this is not the first case of them, so don't worry about it! My father also considered the influence of this matter, so he decided not to make a big deal, but just invited the dignitaries of the royal court to participate in a glass of wedding wine, which can be regarded as a witness. Since my father has made this decision, it will never be changed easily, so don't touch your head, the last time you discussed the matter against the Khazar Khanate, your idea was contrary to your father's intentions, and my father was already very unhappy."
Liu Wei didn't like to listen to these words, and he said with a straight face: "The eldest prince, the old man doesn't agree with what you say, does it mean that if you are a subordinate, you have to follow the king in everything?" Knowing that the king made a mistake and not stopping it, this is not the way to be a minister! β
Daughter Liu Ling also persuaded: "Daddy, you just listen to your husband, the justice is happy because of this happy event, you go to pour cold water at this time and say something bad about the scenery, isn't this deepening the contradiction between you and your father-in-law?" β
"Hmph, you don't have to worry about this matter!" Liu Wei said and turned to leave.
At this time, Zhao Ziliang was sitting cross-legged on the cushion in the practice room, driving the energy in his fingers to wash over and over again all the meridians, muscles, bones, blood vessels and skin in his body.
After performing the exercises nine times, Zhao Ziliang collected the exercises and spit out turbidity, got up and moved his muscles and bones, and the bones of his whole body crackled and made a regular noise, and then walked out of the practice room.
There was a family member standing at the door of the practice room, and when the family saw the door of the practice room open, Zhao Ziliang walked out of it, and immediately bowed down and said: "The king, Lord Liu, the prime minister of the Government Council, Du Fu, the deputy superintendent of the Judicial Temple, and some other military and political dignitaries are waiting in the lobby to ask to see the kingγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ» and Zhao Zishan, the king's brother and the patriarch of the royal family, Changping Gong, is also here!" β
Zhao Ziliang frowned and asked, "What are they doing?" β
Jia Ding said: "The villain is not too clear, but guess carefully, I am afraid that it is related to the marriage of the fifteenth day of the first month of the king!" β
Zhao Ziliang was shocked, and said to his family: "Change the clothes of this king!" β
"No!"
Zhao Ziliang had long known that once he wanted to marry Wang Zhiyun, there would definitely be people of etiquette who would stand up against this marriage, which was inevitable, but he didn't expect these to jump out so early.
It wasn't until he arrived in the lobby and saw a large group of officials led by Liu Wei present that he realized how much resistance there was to this matter.
When all the officials saw Zhao Ziliang walking into the lobby, they all bowed their hands one after another: "See the king!" β
Zhao Ziliang sat down on the throne and asked, "Everyone, you are still celebrating the Spring Festival, you are not at home to spend more time with your family, what are you doing here to this king?" β
Liu Wei stood up and arched his hand: "The king, the lower officials and others received the invitation sent by the king, and the lower officials and others think that this matter must not be allowed, the king is the king's stepdaughter, if the king marries her, it is the stepfather marries the stepdaughter, this matter is too ridiculous, once it spreads, it will inevitably make the prestige of the king and the court of the Western Qin Dynasty plummet, and the people will discuss one after another, as the so-called upward and downward effect, if the king opens this head, in the future, the people will have frequent things that violate the norm, and the consequences are unimaginable!" β
Zhao Ziliang raised his eyebrows: "Lord Liu's words are a bit alarmist, right?" β
Liu Wei said: "The king, the lower officials are by no means alarmist, the social atmosphere has always been transmitted from the officialdom to the people, if the marriage between the king and the princess girl is spread to the people, the king and the royal family will become the focus of public opinion in the entire Western Qin, and even the Tang Dynasty, then the king and the girl Wang will be on the cusp, now the rebellion in the Central Plains is almost quelled, if this matter causes the intervention of the Chang'an court, it will definitely cause trouble to my Western Qin, and please think twice!" β
Zhao Ziliang's face was a little ugly, and he said, "Lord Liu, what does this king have to do with others marrying a wife?" Although there is such a relationship between me and her stepfather and stepdaughter, I am not a few years older than her, and there is no blood relationship, why can't this king marry her? If it is a military and political matter, this king will definitely listen to your opinions carefully, but this is a family matter of this king, so you should not interfere! As for the Chang'an court, this king thinks that they are only afraid and will not make trouble for this king in this matter! Lord Liu, this king asks you, what is the relationship between Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty and Emperor Yang of Sui of the previous dynasty? β
Liu Wei said: "It should be a cousin!" β
Zhao Ziliang said: "After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty married his cousin Emperor Yang of Sui's concubine Xiao Shi, according to your logic, didn't Emperor Gaozu of this dynasty violate ethics?" Later, Emperor Taizong married Xiao after the death of Emperor Gaozu; Empress Zetian was originally a talented person of Emperor Taizong, and later Emperor Gaozong married Empress Zetian after Emperor Taizong's death, and his son married Lao Tzu's woman, what is this? Since ancient times, whether it is the folk or the official royal family, there are things about cousins marrying, and there is a blood relationship between cousins. β
When the officials saw that Zhao Ziliang had pulled out the unsightly private things of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan and Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Zetian, they were all frightened and silent, and no one dared to speak out loudly.
Liu Wei was unwilling to retreat like this, and said stubbornly: "King, after all, the marriage between cousins is between equals, and after all, there is a mess between you and Miss Wangγ»γ»γ»γ»γ»γ»
Zhao Ziliang snorted coldly: "What messed up the generation? Could it be that the first emperors didn't have a chaotic generation? Emperor Xuanzong also married his daughter-in-law, why didn't he see the ministers of the court to stop him? Hmph, I think you're looking for trouble! This king is married to Zhiyun, the fifteenth day of the first month is set for wine, don't come if you don't want to come, this king can also save some wine! It's all gone! β
