"Renzhong's life has become the pursuit of enjoyment and luxury?" Hearing the report of Wu Wu, Li Qianshun raised his eyebrows lightly: "What do you mean?" Speak carefully with me! ”

Wu Wu said: "The minister listened to the report of his subordinates that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has recently lived a luxurious life in Mingsha City, and he is even more obsessed with appetite, in addition to eating all kinds of mountain delicacies, he prefers a dish called fresh duck palm, which is made by taking dozens of live ducks and cooking them with secret methods, and the rest are discarded; He also said that the second prince also likes to eat a big dish called roast suckling sheep, which is roasted from the ewes that are about to give birth, and only eats the young sheep in their womb......"

"Bastard ......" Hearing that the Wuzang Wuyu had reported this, Li Qianshun instantly became angry, "Such a miserable and inhumane, isn't it against the peace of heaven?" ”

The party members are nomads, how can they accept the way of eating the sheep fetus in the womb.

"Your Majesty is angry!" Didn't hide and hurriedly persuade.

"Go on!" Li Qianshun had a gloomy face and said coldly: "I see what tricks this son can eat?" ”

Looking at Li Qianshun Tieqing's complexion, Wu Zangwu hesitated for a moment before continuing: "The minister also heard that the second prince killed a few cooks in order to eat a dish called oolong inlaid with white jade, just because he repeatedly made a living cane......

"Renzhong is cruel and unkind, and cannot be entrusted with great use!" With a cold snort in his mouth, Li Qianshun said coldly: "I didn't choose him to be the prince in the first place, and my decision to be the prince was really right!" ”

The matter is the royal heir, and he does not dare to answer without hiding the vulture.

Sighing, Li Qianshun then asked, "How are you doing in the East Palace recently?" ”

Wu Zangwu hesitated for a moment before he said: "Your Majesty, according to the attendants of the East Palace, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also begun to be good at food, and often sends cooks to buy live geese for sausage cooking......"

"What? You repeat? Li Qianshun almost couldn't believe his ears, how did his two sons become so strange.

"Your Majesty is angry, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not mean to do this, and please ask Your Majesty to listen to the truth from your ministers!" Didn't hide the hustle road.

"Say!" Li Qian said by the way.

Wu Zangwu said: "According to the minister's investigation, the tyrannical eating method of the two highnesses is due to the influence of the two highnesses after contact with Leshanhou, and the influence of Leshanhou is ...... the minister's inquiry, Leshanhou was assassinated and injured the day before yesterday, and he has been looking for monkeys in order to recuperate from his injuries."

"What did the Marquis of Leshan do to find a monkey?" Li Qianshun was puzzled.

Wu Zangwu replied: "According to the people who came out to procure, in order to recuperate from his injuries, Leshan Hou wants to eat raw monkey brains to replenish his body!" ”

There was a disgusted expression on his face, Li Qianshun was silent, and after thinking for a while, his eyes gradually became cold: "This Southern Barbarian has such sinister intentions!" ”

Before he could reply, Li Qianshun narrowed his eyes again: "I think the people in the market now know the news!" ”

"There are some rumors about the two highnesses." didn't hide the vulture and replied, and then I didn't know if I really didn't know, or I asked knowingly with a pretending to be confused: "What does Your Majesty mean?" ”

"This Southern Barbarian is so scheming, if the tyrannical name of the crown prince and the second prince will be spread, what should the people of my Great Xia think, and what will the various tribes of my Great Xia think? What do the ministers of the court think? Li Qianshun hated.

"Your Majesty, Shengming, you can see through Lotte's intentions at a glance!" Wu Wu patted the horse, and then continued: "This Le Nanban is really a good scheming!" ”

Li Qianshun waved his hand in disgust: "Let the scourge marry Lan Duo and leave quickly, this southern barbarian will lead the army to plague my Great Xia's country, and even my two princes will actually want to be harmed!" ”

Wu Zangwu thought about it and persuaded: "Your Majesty, Lotte is too scheming, it is better to take the opportunity to get rid of this person, so as not to leave future troubles!" ”

"I don't want to get rid of this person, but my Great Xia has already fallen behind the Great Song Dynasty, if he moves, won't he give the Great Song Dynasty the truth to invade the north!" Li Qianshun was worried, and then sighed: "This person is in trouble, and he must not be in my Great Xia, so let's think about it in the long run!" ”

***********************

There were two cars in the inn, loaded with red lanterns and all kinds of festive supplies for planning weddings.

Along with these two carriages, there were also officials of the Western Xia Ministry of Rites, in addition to conveying the summons to Lotte, and then went to find Lord Chu, the attendant of the Ministry of Rites who came to Western Xia with Lotte, to discuss the specific details of the wedding with the princess.

In the words of later generations, Lotte marrying the princess of Xixia is a transnational marriage, because the status of the two is respected, it is even more attention-grabbing, and it involves the customs of the two countries, so it is natural for the officials of the two countries to plan and negotiate together to come up with a plan.

"The lord of Great Xia will summon Le tomorrow, what is the princess's wedding, what is Le going to do in front of him? Lord Xu, you are in an important position in the Imperial City Division, and you are often forbidden to walk around in the palace, so you want to know these things clearly. "Sent away the officials of the Naxia People's Ministry of Rites, and Lotte, who didn't know anything about the procedures of the big wedding ceremony, summoned General Xu to ask for advice.

Xu Jiang smiled bitterly: "I know a lot about the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, but I know very little about the etiquette of the Great Xia......

"The Xia people even copy the official system of our Great Song Dynasty, and the etiquette of this wedding is similar, even if you say it, I am just a reference!" Lotte said.

"Then the next official said!" Xu Jiang replied, and then said in detail: "According to the normal marriage etiquette of my princess of the Great Song Dynasty, I will choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and the Son of Heaven will send a messenger to announce the invitation of the horse to meet in the palace, and reward jade belts, boots, dust wats, saddles, as well as 100 red horses, 100 pairs of silverware, 100 pieces of clothing, and 10,000 taels of silver as a dowry.

After the reward, the Son of Heaven will also set up a banquet to entertain him, and the banquet is nine lamps. During the banquet, the Ouchi Band played music on the side. At the end of the feast, the would-be horses thanked the Son of Heaven and returned home on a horse draped with a saddle bridle painted with a golden lychee flower pattern and a mattress made of golden monkey fur, and a whip woven of silk thread in his hand.

However, at this time, according to the royal rules, the quasi-horse should have a three-eaves umbrella on his head, and the Ouchi Band composed of 50 people played music in front of him to open the way, which was called the 'Xuan Department', and the princess's dowry items were also purchased and purchased by the relevant departments of Taichang Temple in accordance with the provisions of the "Hui Yao" of this dynasty. ”

After Xu Jiang's voice fell, Wu Song, who was guarding behind Lotte, laughed: "In addition to the gift given by the lord of Great Xia, the official of my family also brought 500,000 taels of silver as a bride price. ”

"This ......" Xu Jiang couldn't answer, after all, it can be said that this situation of Lotte has never been encountered in ancient times, but there is still a smile of schadenfreude in his eyes, obviously looking at how Li Qianshun will deal with it.

"Master Xu, you go on!" Lotte said.

In response, General Xu continued: "According to the regulations of my Great Song Dynasty, in the month before the emperor's wedding, the Son of Heaven ordered the ruling prime minister to wear civilian clothes and shoes with straps, and go to the west corridor of the apse to inspect the emperor's dowry items.

According to the regulations of the marriage of Emperor Ji of the Great Song Dynasty, the dowry items include a phoenix crown decorated with pearls, nine colorful brocade chickens, and four phoenixes, a gorgeous dress embroidered with pheasants, a pair of pearl jade pendants, a gold leather belt, a jade dragon crown, a jade ring, a comb ring of the North Pearl Crown Flower, a comb ring of the Seven Treasure Crown Flower, a pearl coat, a half-sleeved blouse, a pearl emerald collar four season clothes, a gold inlaid gold vessel, a gold coating device, a gold pasting device, a gold palanquin to ride when traveling, and other items, as well as splendid silk gold curtains, furnishings, mattresses, carpets, screens, ......"

When Xu Jiang spoke, Lotte's mind suddenly flashed the figure of Emperor Maode, if he had married Emperor Maode, he should have gone through such a procedure.

Then Lotte shook his head hurriedly, what was he thinking, did he really like Emperor Maode? Lotte couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

Taking advantage of the time to speak, the shakuchi, who was waiting for Lotte, said while filling up the tea for Xu Jiang: "Lord Xu, what you said, we don't know how much it can be worth, so you can estimate the price!" ”

General Xu thought for a while and said: "According to the regulations of my Great Song Dynasty, all the dowries together should be worth about 100,000 yuan!" ”

"In this way, wouldn't my family officials be at a loss!" Shakuchi pouted.

"Don't talk too much!" Lotte snorted.

At this time, Xu Jiang said again: "That's right, on the day of marriage, in addition to the coins and silks used as a bride price, the Chinese scholar should not forget, but also bring a pair of live geese with a male and a female, and personally go to the princess's residence to marry the bride......"

"Why do you want geese? And it's still a male and a female? Lotte was puzzled.

Hearing Lotte's words, Xu Jiang was immediately stunned: "Lord Zhongshu doesn't know? ”

"I don't know!" Lotte shook his head.

Crowned with the peach blossom hermitage, peach blossom Langjun of the nickname, and there is the first talent of the Great Song Dynasty Le Da Zhongshu, I don't know the custom of giving a pair of geese when marrying, Xu Jiang felt speechless, but soon thought that Lord Le has only accepted concubines and has never been married, and these etiquettes are naturally unfamiliar.

Thinking of this, Xu Jiang said carefully: "The ancients used geese as a dowry, because geese are migratory birds, but also for loyal birds, according to the season from south to north, very regular, and only once in a lifetime, and lifelong inseparable, geese as gifts always appear in the wedding, in fact, it is a beautiful sustenance for marriage, since the Zhou Dynasty is an indispensable thing in the six ceremonies!" ”

At the turn of the Jin and Yuan dynasties, the famous poet Yuan Haowen once wrote: "Ask what is the love in the world, and teach people to live and die", I don't know how many crazy men and women in later generations are regarded as classic love sentences, which refers to the wild goose, which indirectly confirms the loyalty of the wild goose.

The history of the Xia and Shang dynasties can not be examined, but at least it can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty, the wild goose is an indispensable dowry for the ancients when they got married. And in "The Wind and the Bitter Leaves", there is more "Yongyong Singing Geese, the Beginning of the Rising Sun." A gentleman is like a wife, and the ice is not gone. ".

Even in today's China, there are many places where there is a custom of sending a pair of geese when they are engaged, and the geese are the geese that have been trained by the family.

Although there is a title of Jinshi on his head, Lotte really hasn't read much of the Four Books and Five Classics, and some of the superficial understanding of the Four Books and Five Classics is still inherited from the memory of the previous owner of this body.

Speaking of this, Xu Jiang smiled again and said to Lotte: "Lord Zhongshu, don't be anxious, Your Majesty is the wedding of the adult, didn't you send Chu Shilang from the Ministry of Rites, and the specific matters are handed over to Chu Shilang, let Chu Shilang discuss with the officials of the Xia Ren Rite Department, and the adults just need to be the groom and marry the princess." ”

Just as Lotte and General Xu were talking, Lord Chu, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, entered the house.
