Weiyuanbo's Mansion is gathering guests at the moment, Lin Zhao's own status and fame are very high, can he have fewer wedding guests? Especially the marriage of the Queen Mother, it is even more extraordinary, no matter who is in front of her, you have to come to congratulate her. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo.

Important ministers such as Zhao Luan, Sima Guang, and Han Jiang all congratulated, and Zeng Gongliang, the prime minister of Jixian Palace, did not have anything to do with Lin Zhao, but after the execution ground, he also sent people to congratulate.

All the officials of the various ministries and departments in Bianjing who had contacts and cooperated with Lin Zhao also came. For example, Honglu Temple, Lin Zhao has been the master of Honglu Temple, not to mention Chongyi Gong Chai Xiao is the head of Honglu Temple, no matter what the reason is, he wants to come to congratulate. Even some Liao envoys came to congratulate the emperor of the Song Dynasty on Zhengdan, and when they heard that Lin Zhao was married, they also congratulated him.

Another example is the current Ministry of Rites Zhang Zongyi, he was originally just an inconspicuous Ministry of Rites, according to the normal situation, there will be no improvement in his career in this life. If you stay up for a few more years, you may stop there, and wait until the day of retirement.

Fortunately, in the first year of Xining, he was ordered to send an envoy to Liao, and he was the nominal envoy of the mission, but his realization in Liaoguo was really average. The deputy envoy Lin Zhao's performance was really wonderful, he defended the dignity of the Great Song Dynasty with courtesy and courtesy, and cracked a rebellion in the territory of the Liao State, the tension between Song and Liao was eliminated, and the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State were also grateful to Lin Zhao.

Zhang Zongyi also followed a lot, and it was by virtue of this achievement that he has now become a waiter in the Ministry of Rites. And the Ministry of Rites Shangshu is already seventy years old, and he is too old to be old, and it will not be long before he becomes a priest. Zhang Zongyi is undoubtedly a strong contender for the position of Shangshu, and the future of his career is even brighter.

Officials like Zhang Zongyi, without Hanlin's qualifications, it would be impossible for Xuanma to worship the prime minister, and it is already a great honor to be able to serve the six books. Therefore, Zhang Zongyi himself is quite grateful to Lin Zhao, and he naturally wants to congratulate Lin Zhao when he gets married.

Zeng Gong also came, on the one hand, he was an envoy with Lin Zhao, and he had the friendship of fighting side by side. Moreover, he came to congratulate on the order of his teacher Ouyang Xiu, and at the same time sent a congratulatory gift on behalf of Ouyang Xiu. It is a good couple written by Ouyang Xiu, and it has been together for a hundred years.

Ouyang Gong's calligraphy is not to mention, and his status in the literary world is second to none, so easily won the yearning of the scribes present. Weddings are no longer purely weddings, but have a tendency to become a literary event. However, it is not false that the atmosphere is more enthusiastic and lively.

In addition, the officials of Dali Temple also came, after all, Lin Zhao nominally has the official position of Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the same yamen naturally has the friendship of colleagues, so it is natural for him to come to congratulate. In addition to this high-sounding reason, there are more realistic reasons.

Lin Zhao's case made the presiding Yushitai and the Criminal Department lose face. The Empress Dowager was reprimanded at the execution ground, Li Han and Wang Dongjian were demoted to Lingnan, and the Yushitai and the Criminal Department couldn't raise their heads for a while. Dali Temple, which was forced to avoid for no reason, did nothing, but became the biggest winner.

Because there was Tang Jie as the imperial history of the Cheng, in charge of the imperial history of the platform, the status of the three legal divisions of the imperial history platform is relatively high, Dali Temple has been tepid. This time it was different, Yu Shitai was hit, especially the mastermind behind the unjust case turned out to be the servant Shi Lu Heqing, which was even more evil. Everyone inside the Imperial Observatory is already in danger, where do they dare to impeach others casually? The momentum has not been as good as before, and the criminal department has been implicated as a result. Such a time is undoubtedly a good opportunity for the rise of Dali Temple.

And all this is thanks to Lin Zhao, at least because of Lin Zhao, Dali Temple is somewhat grateful, and it is also appropriate to come to cheer.

Uncle Cao Guo was still seriously ill and did not come in person, but a lot of relatives and friends from the Cao family came, which can be said to have given enough face. Officials or celebrities who had a good relationship with Cao Jian were also invited.

For example, the Pan family, the descendant of the founding general Pan Mei. The founding generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, Pan Mei and Cao Bin were the most famous and had the greatest influence. In recent years, the Cao family has produced a queen, and the current momentum is even greater, relatively speaking, the reputation of the Pan family is weaker, but it does not mean that the strength of the Pan family is much worse.

The influence of these generals in the army is still very large, and it must not be underestimated. The reason why the Pan family came to attend Lin Zhao's wedding was not only because of the Cao family, but also because of the Chai family.

On the night of the Chenqiao Mutiny, Zhao Kuangyin led a large army into the Later Zhou court, when the second son of Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was still in infancy. At that time, someone suggested that Zhao Kuangyin cut the grass and kill the child, and when he hesitated, Pan Mei stepped forward to intercede and asked to adopt the child.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know whether it was mercy, or to appease the old ministers of the Later Zhou Dynasty, or to give Pan Mei a face, so he acquiesced to this matter.

It can be seen from this that Pan Mei is definitely not a traitorous minister who seeks glory and kills loyalty and goodness as the Yang family general said in the legend, but a loyal and righteous general, an out-and-out loyal minister. In the interpretation of legends, many people have been wronged, and Pan Mei is undoubtedly the most wronged.

The child who was adopted by Pan Mei was named Pan Weiji, who is actually a descendant of the Chai family, and is quite related to the Chai family, and is also a descendant of Chai Rong. The Pan and Chai families have a deep relationship because of this matter, perhaps the Chai royal family was very jealous in the past, and the Pan family, as a general in the army, naturally wanted to stay away. But now that they have been founded for more than 100 years, the restoration of the previous dynasty is undoubtedly a fool's dream. Therefore, the two families are closer. Now that the Chai family is marrying a daughter, such a good opportunity, they naturally want to come to congratulate.

There are also some important guests, who have not yet arrived, but there are representatives who come, which is not a kind of signal release. For example, Wen Yanbo, the released minister, did not have a chance to come, but sent his son Wen Jifu to congratulate him. There was no shortage of people who understood and immediately had some associations.

Lin Zhao's face is really big, and the princess has come to congratulate him on his newlywed. Although Wen Yanbo was demoted, who dares to underestimate him? Some people are condemned to the local area as doomed to die of old age for the rest of their lives, and some people are just a transition, and it is only a matter of time before they are transferred back to Bianjing to become high-ranking officials. Although he is a local official, Wen Yanbo's influence in the Great Song Dynasty is undoubtedly quite large, and among the courtiers, only Fu Bi and Han Qi may be able to compete with them.

At the same time, some people believe that Wen Xianggong indirectly expressed his dissatisfaction with Wang Anshi in this way. Because of Lin Zhao's special identity and special experience before and after, he himself also carries a part of the game between the old and new parties.

Even on a special occasion such as a wedding, a slight change is easy to attract the attention and association of those who are interested. In addition, there are many Taixue Qingliu such as Huang Tingjian, and the leaders in the back are also invited to come, and for a while, the Weiyuanbo Mansion can be described as full of friends, which is particularly lively.

Wang Anshi did not come to congratulate, nor did Wang Yan and Lu Huiqing, but only sent a congratulatory gift. After all, their relationship with Lin Zhao is relatively stiff now, and it can't be the same as in the past, and if they appear here today, it will be an embarrassment. It's just that there is still a lot of courtesy on the scene, and Lin Zhao himself is also embarrassed about this matter, and he has a close relationship with the Wang family at the beginning of his rebirth, and he was once in the honeymoon period.

Lin Zhao had high hopes for Wang Anshi, but he didn't expect that in the end, it would be such a situation, and instead of being a friend, he became an enemy. Maybe this is politics, this is conspiracy, and if you are not a friend, you must be an enemy. Is that really the case? Even Lin Zhao didn't want to think like this, but sometimes the reality is so compelling. After experiencing humiliation and danger, Lin Zhao became more rational and resolute.

Many guests have arrived, and there is no shortage of them to welcome them. The groom official himself was still on the way to greet the relatives, and the guests were presided over by Gu Qi, and the seed master Dao, Cao Jian, Yu Xuan and others helped from the side. Some of the female guests in the back house were greeted by Mu Sihong and Gu Yuelun, and Ah Yun was in charge of the entire wedding banquet, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner.

To be honest, Gu Qi himself was reluctant to show his face, on the one hand, because of security considerations. Although it has been 20 years, there is no shortage of dignitaries and nobles who come and go to the wedding, and there are not a few people who often go in and out of the court.

The Iron Mask Sect Master Yu Cao Guo had already discussed it, and he would not tell Lin Zhao his true background for the time being. Gu Qi had no opinion on this, now anything about Lin Zhao was no longer something he could control, and he had no right to speak, so he could only act according to orders.

In fact, it's okay, this time the incident in Gyeongju is really scary, when Lin Zhao was dragged to the execution ground, Gu Qi was really frightened. Although there was no danger later, it had already scared him, and after such a thing happened once, he definitely didn't want to have a second time. It is self-evident what it means to expose his life experience, although Gu Qi also hopes that Lin Zhao will take out everything that belongs to him, but he also hopes that he can be safe.

In terms of feelings, after twenty years of nurturing, who has deeper feelings than Lin Zhao? I'm afraid that Jinghe, as a biological mother, may not be as good as Gu Qi.

Moreover, now he has a deep inferiority complex. I only feel that I am a slave, Lin Zhao's status is noble, and I have no confidence in my heart if I regard myself as an uncle. I only feel that my identity is very embarrassing, not to mention that he has always been a humble little person surviving all these years, and he has never seen much of the world, and he is inevitably a little nervous in the face of a group of dignitaries.

However, he is Lin Zhao's only nominal elder, and it is necessary to come forward to welcome guests. With the help of others, he barely coped with the past, but Gu Qi couldn't help but be nervous, even in the winter, his back was already sweating.

Sometimes things are so coincidental, and it didn't take long for the Queen Mother Gao Tao to send an attendant to congratulate her. The Empress Dowager gave her marriage, and Chai Minyan was Cao Tong's righteous daughter, Gao Taotao's nominal cousin, and it was not appropriate for her to say anything.

It's just a formality and a gift. The queen mother's reward naturally needs to be extraordinarily grand, and Gu Qi, as the head of the family, must receive it.

For special reasons, everyone who came out of the palace, Gu Qi couldn't help but be a little nervous, so he didn't dare to raise his head. The queen mother's reward, pious and respectful is also reasonable.

It's just too much, but Gu Qi's performance has attracted the attention of this chamberlain. This chamberlain is not young, and he has been in the palace for more than 20 years, and it is not easy to survive from the small yellow door that originally passed the food to the powerful chamberlain of Baoci Palace today.

Perhaps because he often went in and out of the dining room back then, when this waiter saw Gu Qi, he couldn't help but feel a little familiar. Although it has been more than 20 years, from teenager to middle age, people's appearance has changed, but the change will not be very big after all.

Often on an errand in the palace, the ability to observe words and looks, and recognize people is good. However, the chamberlain only felt that Gu Qi was a little familiar, and he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

I immediately wondered if it would be because I was too careful. I heard that this Wei Yuanbo is from Jiangning, so his family is naturally from the south, how could he have seen it?

At this time, the welcoming team returned, and there was a bustle, and the thoughts of the waiter were also planned. Gu Qi was also able to get out, and with Lin Zhao presiding over the situation, he was much more relaxed.

Lin Zhao was smiling, the spring breeze was not fake at all, and the three sedan chairs behind him stopped in front of the Earl's Mansion in turn, which immediately attracted many onlookers.

One is said to marry three wives, this kind of glamorous blessing is not something that ordinary people have, Wei Yuanbo is really glamorous and enviable!

The three brides got off the sedan chair in turn, Chai Minyan walked in the front as his wife, Meng Ruoying and Zhe Wenxin, two equal wives, one left and one right, and was led inside by Lin Zhao.

Everyone couldn't help nodding when they saw this situation, especially Zhao Luan and other people who knew the inside story were even more moved. The son of Emperor Renzong has grown up, and now he is going to welcome his relatives and start a family.

It's just that...... Foundation...... Thinking of Lin Zhao's identity, Zhao Luan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and a little melancholy.

Is Lin Zhao's existence good or bad for the Great Song Dynasty?

In Qing, he hoped that the son of Renzong could get descendants, and even recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors, and sacrifice blood food. It is inevitable that there is no one to sacrifice after the death of a generation of Renjun, and the existence of Lin Zhao can be regarded as a comfort and compensation for Emperor Renzong's spirit in the sky, and he can finally turn a blind eye.

However, he also knows very well that once Lin Zhao's identity is exposed, for example, there will be a threat to Zhao Zhao's status, and the ownership of the throne will naturally become a sensitive topic. Can Lin Zhao give up the throne that belongs to him? The dragon chair in the Daqing Hall is magical, as long as you are qualified, who doesn't want to sit on it?

Even if Lin Zhao has no intention of taking the throne, how can Zhao Ji rest assured? What emperor could allow someone who threatens the throne to exist? Uncles and nephews cannibalize each other, the royal family sheds blood, and there is a tragedy in the world!

It's hard to be safe, if Lin Zhao openly seizes the throne, will he be able to succeed smoothly? If two tigers compete, it is very likely that both will lose. What will be the impact on the Great Song Dynasty? If this makes the Great Song Dynasty shaken, the lives are ruined, the achievements of several generations of emperors are ruined, and the Song Dynasty is enlarged into a situation from which it will never recover, it will be troublesome.

Because of the struggle for the throne, are there still fewer examples of the country ruined? The rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty and the rebellion of the Eight Kings of the Jin Dynasty are all lessons from the past. The Great Song Dynasty must not repeat the mistakes of the past, and no one can easily be a sinner for the ages when embarking on such a path!

Therefore, Lin Zhao's existence is so embarrassing, how should he deal with himself? What is his future and what is his future? Never telling him this secret seemed a little unfair to him, and it was unfair to Emperor Renzong.

How do you deal with yourself? Zhao Pan and Ouyang Xiu had almost the same idea. The incomparable struggle in my heart may only be able to wait and see what happens, and go with the flow! It's just that in the midst of this historical tide, is it possible to completely sit on the sidelines and be a spectator? Sometimes not choosing is also a choice, but how to choose? It's a real embarrassment.

Zhao Pan thought about it in a daze, Lin Zhao had already walked in with the three brides, and the auspicious time had arrived, and he was about to get married. One dragon and three phoenixes, it is really a good couple, a match made in heaven!

The festive atmosphere took away Zhao Luan's sorrow, maybe it's too early to think about this, but now it's better to congratulate them first!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In ancient times, weddings generally had six steps: Nacai, Najib, Nazheng, Invitation, and Greeting. However, in the Song Dynasty, only the four procedures of Nacai, Naji, Nazheng, and Qinying were retained.

The first few steps were naturally carried out in accordance with etiquette, and Lin Zhao also took a sedan chair to greet him. Next is the worship session, and the etiquette and situation are not much different from those of later generations.

The three brides came to the front of the lobby, and someone had already stepped forward to scatter grain beans, which was a ceremony for the wedding of the Song Dynasty. It is said that it was a request for good fortune, and it stands to reason that it should be carried out at the gate, but there are too many greeting guests who come, and there are many inconveniences, so it is changed inside.

Afterwards, someone presents a concentric knot and hands it to the bride and groom, which is called "holding the scarf". The difference today is that the three brides each hold one end of the concentric knot, but Lin Zhao has three in his hand. The scene is somewhat funny, but everyone understands that three wives and four concubines were common in ancient times, but there are not many who are married together.

The three beauties all knew that it was impossible for Lin Zhao to be wholeheartedly good to only one person. Only if he has himself in his heart, just like this concentric knot, there is a concern, and he has himself in his heart. The three ladies are all reasonable, and they definitely don't have the desire to compete for favor. This made Lin Zhao a lot easier, at least not as worried about the restlessness of the house.

The worship of the Song Dynasty was slightly different from that of later generations, first worshipping heaven and earth, then worshipping ancestors, and then entering the cave house before husband and wife worshipped.

Amid the shouts of the master of ceremonies, the ritual of worshipping heaven and earth began. As for worshipping the ancestors, the Iron Mask Sect Master and others had already made arrangements, and they had already made a temporary confession for Lin Zhao and the others, so as to have a decent appearance and conceal the truth.

However, all of them have a hope, there is a day when Lin Zhao can take his wife and children to the Taimiao, or the mausoleum of Renzong to worship and recognize his ancestors.

The Empress Dowager Cao's thoughts were undoubtedly the strongest, and at this moment she could not attend the wedding in person, but burned incense and prayed in the Qingshou Palace to inform Emperor Renzong of the spirit in the sky.

In a joyful atmosphere, Lin Zhao and Chai Minyan, Meng Ruoying, and Zhe Wenxin worshiped heaven and earth, worshiped their ancestors, and became husband and wife!

At the same time, a straddle horse galloped in, entered Bianjing City through the West Gate, and went straight to the palace. Then an urgent letter was sent to the Vertical Arch Hall and handed over to Emperor Zhao Ji!

Wang Shao's emergency report arrived, Gyeongju had been decided, but Li Fugui defected to Western Xia...... Seeing such a result, Emperor Zhao Ji was immediately furious! (To be continued.)
