Chapter 762: Lotte Wedding 2
The princess's marriage is different from the daughter of an ordinary family, it is the top priority of the whole country, even the prime minister has to participate in the preparations, a month before the wedding, the ruling prime minister has to be ordered by the emperor to check whether the princess's dowry items are ready.
The fourth day of the sixth month was the day when Emperor Maode surrendered, and Wang Huang and other officials also gathered in the side hall next to the vertical arch hall early. Although there are officials who are dissatisfied with Lotte or have grievances, such as Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao, Bai Shizhi and others.
But no one will develop any dissatisfaction on this occasion, today is the royal day's big day, and it involves the majesty of the heavenly family, not only will not express dissatisfaction, but will even celebrate with the crown, and it is more clear that Lotte, who has become a colt since tomorrow, will no longer be mixed with the court, nor will he give his own people any eye medicine and cause any trouble.
Therefore, these people keep in mind that everything is business as usual, and this marriage is done well.
At this time, Zhao Ji's big car also arrived at the side hall, and then took a group of court officials to the palace, the time was also calculated by the Ministry of Rites, Zhao Ji and his party had just arrived at the palace, and the news came from the Donghua Gate, saying that the team to welcome the relatives had arrived, and they were waiting outside the Donghua Gate.
Sitting in the vertical arch hall, because the marriage of his daughter is a royal event, Zhao Ji's crown dress is crowned, and the dress is formal and tight, and he gets a report and says: "Open the Nanxun Gate and send the princess out of the palace!" ”
Listen to the Son of Heaven this sentence out, the court hall was immediately full of surprise, the sound of surprise is endless, according to the ancestral habits handed down from the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the princess has always walked the Donghua Gate, the princess of the Great Song Dynasty has never walked through the Nanxun Gate, and the Nanxun Gate is the place where the official court will be held, only if there is a very formal thing that happens every year, it will walk around in the Daqing Palace, and the Nanxun Gate is usually closed.
In ancient times, the south was precious, so Nanxun Gate was known as the national gate, occasionally except for the emperor to officially go out of the palace, even the queen mother and the queen were not allowed to go there when they went out of the palace, they all went to Donghua Gate and Xihua Gate, and now they were actually married to Emperor Maode, and they wanted to open, how could this not surprise a group of officials.
The loyal and upright people of the Huizong Dynasty were suppressed by Cai Jing and others, either degraded and released, or sent home, when today's son has always been disobedient to persuasion, this happened at this time, no official dared to come out to persuade, a group of officials looked at each other for a while, and they all set their eyes on Wang Huang's body.
Who made you a deacon, and the deacon must look like a deacon, the courtiers thought to themselves.
The eyes of all the officials focused on themselves, Wang Hao immediately felt it, Wang Hao was lucky to be flattering, and he didn't want to come out of his heart, but this is obviously a bad thing, if he doesn't come out, he will be scolded by the people in the history books in the future.
is a very popular minister, Wang Hao also has to take care of his reputation, so he has to stubbornly come out and say: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Emperor Maode must not open the Nanxun Gate!" ”
"Why not?" Seeing that Wang Hao came out to stop him, Zhao Ji snorted lightly and said: "Not only my daughter Maode, but also Li Qianshun's daughter, the former princess of Xia Kingdom, is now Lan Duo, who has been named the county lord by me, how can the two of them marry me to break the exception, I can't open the Nanxun Gate, and I can't open the Nanxun Gate for such a glorious thing as recovering my hometown in China?" ”
"Your Majesty is angry!" At this time, Liang Shicheng saw that the situation was not good, and hurriedly persuaded.
Immediately, Liang Shicheng glanced at the hundred officials, and said in a thin voice: "You adults really don't see things thoroughly, Your Majesty opened the Nanxun Gate to show my Great Song Dynasty's mind and show me the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty's national prestige. ”
After speaking, Liang Shicheng smiled flatteringly and said to Zhao Ji: "Official, what the slave said is right!" ”
Zhao Ji nodded.
"The ministers are confused, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive you!" Wang Hao hurriedly got off the donkey and pleaded guilty.
"The ministers are confused," the officials hurriedly followed......
Zhao Jixin naturally has his own plans, Emperor Maode was originally going to marry Cai Ying, and then Cai Yan had such a thing, and the family affair also collapsed, so that the world will inevitably not see his daughter clearly.
Although he is not good at being an emperor, Zhao Ji is still good at being an artist, and people who are artists are more or less arrogant and emotional, which is also the common nature of people who are engaged in art.
Because of Cai Ying, he mistook his daughter's marriage, and his daughter's reputation was damaged; Because of the compensation for his daughter, Lotte became a colt and paid for Maude, and he himself missed Lotte's future; Destroyed the Western Xia and took the country of people, although it was the victor, it also made Zhao Ji feel ashamed of Li Qianshun, so he had to use Nanxun Gate to make a chapter, although it was a little too much, but it also made him feel better.
On the side of Donghua Gate, Lotte who was waiting for the decree to enter saw the side door by the gate suddenly open, and a small attendant hurriedly walked out, seeing the overwhelming welcoming team outside, and finally his eyes fell on the body of Lotte riding a big white horse, raised the dust of his hand, and skillfully sandwiched it under his armpit, and said in a sharp voice: "Holy Oracle, please turn to Nanxun Gate to welcome relatives." ”
As the words fell, the chamberlain turned and entered the small door, which was then closed.
After listening to the report of the little eunuch, together with the groom and the officials of the Ministry of Rites who led the regulation, all the people who greeted their relatives were immediately confused, according to the customary system of this dynasty, marrying the princess has always been outside the Donghua Gate, how did it change to the Nanxun Gate, this is the first time in the world.
Did you hear the wrong thing?
The officials of the Ministry of Rites who followed Lotte, as well as the people who greeted their relatives, all looked at each other with disbelief in their eyes, and this rule could be changed at will.
If it was in the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty, it was possible for the princess to fall from the main gate, but since the fifth generation, the status of women has become increasingly low, and after the Shenzong Dynasty, the princess has no longer built the princess's mansion to highlight this point, but this time Emperor Maode married a precedent, which naturally makes people have to think more.
Seeing that everyone behind him was stunned, Lotte turned his horse head and said, "Let's go, turn around and go to Nanxun Gate to greet your relatives!" ”
Hearing Lotte say this, the group of people turned from their stunned senses, and it turned out that they had heard correctly, and the eunuch who came out of the palace said this.
Lotte turned his horse's head and walked in front, followed by a group of people who greeted his relatives, and hurriedly walked towards the Nanxun Gate.
But the Northern Song Dynasty is different from the Southern Song Dynasty, but also different from the later Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties, the Northern Song Dynasty is all-encompassing, can tolerate all kinds of things, unlike the Jingkang change, with this national shame, the Southern Song Dynasty became more and more conservative, and science became popular, until the Ming and Qing dynasties in later generations became more and more conservative throughout China.
When today's Zi built the Dasheng Mansion, changed the etiquette and standardized etiquette, did too many things, and didn't care how much this and two things were, the courtiers thought about it in their hearts and became calm.
Today's thing is strange, riding on a tall horse, Lotte's face is still making a festive expression, but he is thinking about changing the rules today, and he soon understood Zhao Ji's intentions, Emperor Maode promised people twice, the Son of Heaven is afraid that the people of the world will look down on Emperor Maode, so the Son of Heaven must let people know that the identity of Emperor Ji is noble, to pass on this news, to give Maode treatment that others have never had, this Nanxunmen is the highest point of treatment.
And he also married Lan Duo, after all, Lan Duo is also a princess of a country, although the country was destroyed by the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji always gives some kindness, saying that the crocodile will also shed two tears, Zhao Ji also does this to express his mind, of course, this is only incidental.
Wu Baiguan is not a fool, after experiencing the initial shock, he also understood the intention of the Son of Heaven, and entering and leaving the Nanxun Gate was a treatment that the princesses of previous generations had not had, which also showed the nobility of Maode.
Soon, Lotte and his party came to the Nanxun Gate, first bowed and then sent someone to call the door, and waited for a moment the main gate of the Nanxun Gate was opened with a creaky sound, thinking that it had not been opened for a long time, when the door was opened, the Daqing Hall revealed its appearance that had not been seen for a long time.
Seeing such a lively image, the people outside the Nanxun Gate were watching from the sidelines, and they were also very surprised, why did the new horses come to the Nanxun Gate, according to the habit of this dynasty, isn't it in the Donghua Gate to greet relatives, could it be that the court has changed the rules?
This news is as big as the sky, and it has never been seen before......
The noblewomen of the palace and the women of the officials who were married, after learning that the Nanxun Gate was opened, also came to the outside of the Daqing Hall and inside the Nanxun Gate.
When the palace gate was completely opened, the palace chariot also passed, and one by one the clan ladies, official wives and eunuch palace maids walked out of the Nanxun Gate with their chariots, and walked outside the Nanxun Station.
"Pick up the car......"
Seeing that Emperor Maude and Princess Landau were not seated, the eunuch who was waiting next to him shouted loudly under the guidance of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
The welcoming procession went home, and the women and eunuchs returned to the palace again, and the palace had its own banquet arrangement, while the officials and guests went back with the welcoming procession, and went to the banquet after the marriage in the church.
But the Great Song Dynasty and the later generations of the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties are unknown, the princess is not only married to many rules, the team is also unusually spectacular, the queen, the prince and other royal relatives and many dignitaries and family members have to see off in person, the queen who rides the Kowloon sedan chair and the prince on horseback walk in front of the princess, and other royal relatives and family members live behind the princess.
In comparison, it is more and more impossible to set off what is Lotte about, after all, the queen and the prince are the most important, and there is also the mother of Princess Lando, and the former Xixia queen is also in the case, as for the Xixia prince who was sent by the Liao State, out of consideration for the safety of Empress Zheng and the crown prince Zhao Huan, Zhao Ji did not participate in the marriage.
Lotte had seen the process arrangement sent by the officials of the Ministry of Rites before, the princess of a country was married, and there were countless rules, which made people dizzy, but fortunately, the officials of the Ministry of Rites were fully responsible, and Lotte was also saved to consume brain cells, and there was still experience in Western Xia before, so he only needed to be a good groom official.
When he returned to the Pingyu Marquis's Mansion, Lotte Ke opened his eyes, there were tables everywhere in the house, and after a rough calculation, there were more than 100 sheets, thanks to Yang Jian's house, if it was in his old mansion, he really couldn't put it, of course, this was done under the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
Before and after Emperor Maud and Princess Landau arrived at the door, they went through some etiquette procedures to enter the gate of Lejia.
The rest is to worship the parents of heaven and earth and send the newlyweds into the cave room.
