Princess Jinling's entry into Chang'an means that a grand wedding banquet is about to be held.

But planning a marriage is not as simple as words, it needs to be planned as a whole.

What's more, the woman's identity is the princess of a country, and the man is the largest prince in the north, so the scale of this wedding is not small.

Now it coincides with the protection of the capital and the king of Yong, and the people in Hexi decided to invite high-rollers from all over the world to hold a big event.

"King Qiyu Yong, according to the preliminary budget, the princess's marriage will cost at least 200,000 yuan."

"What? 200,000? This...... That's too much, right? ”

Wei Shuo frowned, shocked by the wedding budget proposed by the Du branch Shangshu.

200,000 guan is not a small amount, and it must be known that half of the counties under the rule of Hexi are estimated to have less than 200,000 guan in fiscal revenue a year.

"That's more? That's just enough money. ”

Zong Chang said disapprenorovingly: "If you want to open up the flowers, let alone 200,000, even 300,000 or 400,000 may not be enough." ”

"This father-in-law's wedding is extraordinary, it must not be sloppy, and it must be done in a big way."

"Not to mention the extreme luxury, at least it has to be worthy of the face of our Hexi."

"But ......" Wei Shuo was about to speak again, but was stopped by Song Miao next to him.

"Lord, this time and that time!"

"With this big wedding, Hexi will invite high-rollers from all over the world."

"By the time the time comes, there are guests from all over the world, and it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of people."

"And Hexi can also take this opportunity to have a relationship with Tuyuhun, Rouran, Kangju, Dawan and other vassal states, knocking and knocking each other."

"Back then, Henkel Liu Bang ordered Han Prime Minister Xiao He to build Chang'an City, and Henkel thought Chang'an was luxurious, so he asked Prime Minister Xiao He."

"Your Highness, do you know how Prime Minister Xiao He answered?"

"The son of heaven is home all over the world, and he is not magnificent!"

Wei Shuo read a sentence softly, and suddenly understood the deep meaning of Song Xuan's words.

It's nothing more than that Hexi's strength has reached a certain level, and it's time to show some of it to deter unscrupulous people.

Sometimes wealth and luxury are symbols of strength, although it is easy to attract outsiders to covet, but it can also make people jealous.

"Alright! Lone agrees yes. ”

"However, this marriage is a balance between public and private, and the government cannot be fully responsible, and the Yongwang Mansion will also take half of the money."

The separation of public and private affairs is a system that was established in Hexi early on, and the government finances and government finances have always been counted separately.

Neither side interferes with the other, as long as it involves Wei Shuo's private expenses, they will all be paid by the Wei government.

This marriage was supposed to be a private matter of the Wei Mansion, but Song Miao and others obviously regarded this matter as the top priority at the moment.

With such a mix of public and private, Wei Shuo can only accept his fate.

After returning to the Wei Mansion, Wei Shuo asked Yin E about the family's property.

Fortunately, he was not disappointed, and in the past ten years, Wei Fu has made a lot of money by investing in workshops and forming trade caravans.

Even if the government doesn't pay a penny, the Wei government still has the ability to hold a luxurious wedding.

A few days later, the Yongwang Mansion released a rumor to the outside world.

At the end of this month, Hexi will hold a grand wedding banquet for Princess Jinling and King Yong, and invite high-rollers and envoys from all over the world to attend.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a boiling inside and outside Chang'an.

Recently, Chang'an has indeed been lively enough, and happy events have been coming one after another.

The people of Chang'an have not been so excited for a long time, and countless people are looking forward to this grand ceremony.

As the most powerful prince in the world, married to a royal princess, Wei Shuo's wedding is destined to be watched by the whole world.

After the wedding date was set, Hexi sent envoys to the Quartet and invited all parties to come to Chang'an to attend the wedding banquet.

In addition to Tuyuhun, Rouran, Kangju, and Dawan, who were subordinate to Hexi, Huan Xuan of Jingzhou and Liu Yu of Xuzhou also received invitations one after another.

In addition, there are many people or forces who have not received the invitation, and they also intend to send envoys or go to Chang'an in person.

……

Wei Shuo spread the news of the big wedding to Jiangling, Huan Xuan looked at Bian Fanzhi, Yin Zhongwen, Feng Gai, Huang Fufu, Wu Fuzhi, Huan Qian, Huan Shikang and other henchmen, and the idea of going to Chang'an suddenly sprouted in his mind.

"My father has decided, I will go to Chang'an from now on to meet that Wei Zhiyuan."

"To be honest, I haven't seen Naoyuan for several years since we parted, and I miss him."

Everyone was caught off guard when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say.

After a long time, Bian Fan Zhicai slowly spoke: "Today, the wind and clouds are sudden, and it is said that the lord should not leave Jiangling lightly. ”

"But the future reaction of Hexi is related to the success or failure of the great cause, and the lord should go to touch the details of King Yong's bottom in advance."

"That's right, that's what my father thinks."

"Wei Zhiyuan is a majestic person, and his mind has always been elusive."

"If my father doesn't personally probe him, I will feel really uneasy."

"Who is the lord going to take with him?"

"Hmm......" Huan Xuan thought for a moment and said: "Jingzhou is the foundation of our place, and there is no room for the slightest mistake. ”

"After my father left, everything in Jingzhou was handed over to Huan Qian and Bian Changshi, and the rest of the people cooperated."

"As for who to take to Chang'an...... In this way, let Zhongwen and Shi Kang go to Chang'an with me, and the rest of the people will stay in Jingzhou. ”

"Subordinates obey." Yin Zhongwen and Huan Shikang got up and answered.

Just as Huan Xuan was about to announce the end of the meeting, he saw a young man at the end suddenly get up and bow to the ground.

"The ministers participate in the military Hu Domain, and they are willing to go to Chang'an with the Duke of Nanjun."

"Huh?" Huan Xuan's sharp gaze fell on the young man.

Hu Fan was not busy and said: "The minister was born in the stable Hu family, and since the ancestors crossed to the south, they have never returned to their hometown. ”

"However, this year, King Yong successfully recovered Guanzhong, and the ministers were overjoyed when they heard it, and they looked forward to going back to their hometown day and night to have a look."

"Even if you don't go back to live, you should sweep the tombs of your ancestors to fulfill the responsibilities of future generations."

"Wanwang Nanjun is merciful, with the filial piety of all his subordinates."

After listening to this explanation, Huan Xuan's face looked better, and he groaned slightly, then nodded and agreed to Hu Fan.

Where did Huan Xuan know that this Hu Fan was obviously visiting his hometown, but he actually wanted to get close to Wei Shuo.

I have to say that there are still some talents under Huan Xuan, such as Bian Fanzhi, Feng Cai, Huan Qian, Hu Fan and others.

Especially the Hu Fan in front of him, he is even more remarkable, he is good at martial arts, and resourceful, which can be described as both civil and military.

But in history, Hu Fan's fate was too bumpy, he first voted for Xi Hui, Yin Zhongkan, and then followed Huan Xuan, but they were not allowed to be reused.

It wasn't until he was later taken over by Liu Yu that he began to shine.

He successively participated in a series of wars such as Liu Yu's Northern Expedition to Southern Yan, Southern Expedition to Lu Xun, Conquest of Liu Yi, Conquest of Sima Xiuzhi, and Northern Expedition to Later Qin.

Hu Fan is slightly superior in talent and is known as "Jiangyou Junjie".

……

When Wei Shuo was about to hold a big wedding, Liu Yu had just finished a fight.

With the assistance of the Hexi Naval Division, Liu Yu led his army to board a ship in the area of present-day Haiyan County, crossed Hangzhou Bay, and made a surprise attack on Yuyao in one fell swoop.

After taking Yuyao, Liu Yu gained a firm foothold in the northeast of Huiji County and posed a major threat to Shanyin.

When Sun Tai learned of the loss of Yuyao, he immediately realized that the maritime hazards he had always relied on had lost its effect.

So, he immediately decided to order the Changsheng Army to give up Zhejiang Tianwei and retreat to Huiji.

As a result, Xie Yan, who was in charge of containing the rebels in northern Zhejiang, immediately crossed Zhejiang to the south and prepared to attack Shanyin with Liu Yu.

At first glance, the Heavenly Master Dao rebels seem to be at the end of their rope, and the imperial court is just around the corner to put down the rebellion.

But Liu Yu knew that things were not so simple, first of all, although the plan to cross the sea and attack was successful, it did not eliminate the main force of the Heavenly Master Dao Water Division.

Therefore, although Liu Yu occupied Yuyao, he was always worried that he would be copied by the Heavenly Master Dao Water Master.

Secondly, Xie Yan, an old general of Beifu from a family, did not want to see Liu Yu, and was even more dissatisfied with Liu Yu's succession as the marshal of Beifu.

And the disagreement between the generals and the commanders is a taboo for soldiers, which casts a shadow on the next war.

When the situation in the southeast was once again anxious, Liu Yu learned of Wei Shuo's wedding, and at the same time decided to send someone north to congratulate him.

"This time, our army was able to open up the situation smoothly, thanks to the strong help of the Hexi Water Division, Yu thought it was just this opportunity to express his gratitude to King Yong."

"However, in view of the current tension of the war, it is difficult for me to leave in person, I wonder if any of you would like to go to Chang'an on behalf of you?"

The generals remained silent when they heard this, after all, they wanted to stay to assist Liu Yu in the war, and it was impossible for them to go to Chang'an to congratulate him.

Except for the generals, the rest of the staff looked at each other, and a man with a strange and ugly appearance took the initiative to stand up.

"I am not talented, I am willing to go to Chang'an for the lord."

"It's really good to have a long wish!" Liu Yu clapped his hands and praised.

This ugly-looking man is named Wei Yongzhi, who was once the chief bookkeeper of Jingzhou, and was despised by Huan Xuan because of his poor appearance.

After Yin Zhongkan was defeated, he took the initiative to come over because he had known Liu Yu since childhood.

Liu Yuke did not pay attention to appearance like Huan Xuan, and immediately entrusted Wei Yongzhi with important responsibilities and became one of his confidants.
