Chapter 35: I Have a Dream

Time does not stop because of anyone, it just walks, through the spring of the recovery of all things, and then comes to the harvest season.

In the fifth year of Tiansheng, this is still a good time, the people harvested their crops, with reverence for God, with respect for the emperor, one after another on the streets, for nothing else, just to be able to see the emperor and the long-legendary queen from afar.

Obviously, these people came relatively early, and in the morning, the emperor's wedding had to follow the established process, and only in the afternoon could they find time to see them.

Although the emperor's wedding in the Song Dynasty was not as cumbersome as those in the later dynasties, it was enough for Zhao Zhen. He felt like a clown on this day, and once the wedding ceremony began, he would have to listen to the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette. And those guys who usually don't dare to look at the emperor also ran out to see the excitement at this time.

The emperor's wedding, it seems that every emperor has to marry a wife, and the ministers should be common. In fact, generally speaking, when most emperors are made crown princes or before they ascend the throne, their fathers have already found them daughters-in-law, and once the emperor ascends the throne, their wives will also hold a post-sealing ceremony.

Therefore, these ministers and even the officials of the Ministry of Rites are relatively unfamiliar with the emperor's wedding ceremony and are more interested in it (perhaps related to the lack of entertainment programs), and there are many officials who have forgotten God. And at this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites like to run out and show their faces, although they themselves are not familiar with it, but after all, they have done their homework before, and they come out to show off at this time, and train other ministers to be like grandsons, you still have to endure this, don't you see that the emperor is being criticized by them! Thinking about it this way, the ministers' hearts felt much better.

After the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette got up early in the morning and dragged the emperor to tinker for a long time, everyone finally waited for the legendary "auspicious time has arrived", and finally could watch the excitement in a serious way. At this time, the chief and deputy envoys of the greeting relatives took all kinds of edicts and marched towards the Guozhang Mansion, which was not quite the same as that of the people, because the emperor had a much higher status after all, and it was impossible for him to pick up the queen in person, although Zhao Zhen said that he wanted to pick up his wife in person, but the officials of the Ministry of Rites ignored his proposal.

When the team arrived at the Guozhang Mansion without a Guozhang Mansion that had just changed its house number, it had to complete a set of cumbersome etiquette, and the Guozhang Mansion was so tired that it couldn't straighten up until it was over. The envoy who greeted the relatives drove the carriage to pull the tired and panting Zhang Rou back to the palace, and after a short rest, there are more programs waiting for the emperor and his wife duo to stage for everyone! It can't fall down at this time, so it seems that the Guozhang Mansion is undoubtedly much luckier, at least they can now close the door and lie on the ground to play in the mud.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites saw that the state of the emperor and empress had almost recovered, and immediately pulled them out to hold a wedding ceremony. When the emperor gets married, he inevitably has to worship heaven and earth, worship ancestors, and worship parents, although these are the same contents, but the emperor is much taller than the people.

In addition to the fact that it is relatively simple to worship Liu E, worshipping ancestors and worshipping heaven and earth is much more grand. After worshipping his mother, he naturally wanted to worship his ancestors, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites had to talk for a long time during this process, and he had to read a lot of things that Zhao Zhen couldn't understand, anyway, he and Zhang Rou could only be a marionette, and it would be good to kowtow where there should be kowtow.

Seeing that there was only this last sacrifice left, Zhao Zhen and Zhang Rou both saw the dawn of victory. Now they can take a break to rest for a while, because the officials of the Ministry of Rites have invited many masters to dance there to pray for smooth wind and rain, peace of the country and the people, and eternal stability of the Great Song Dynasty! After the dance is finished, Zhao Zhen and his family will go up to sign on behalf of the royal family, and it will be regarded as a matter of watching others toss themselves all morning, and finally let himself watch others toss themselves.

The ceremony is going on here, and it is almost over, but Zhao Zhen doesn't want to have a ** moment worth a thousand gold now, not to mention that the ministers don't agree, just the two of them climb up and down the next morning, and it is estimated that he doesn't have the energy.

Zhao Zhen and his wife can only seize the time to take a nap, and they have to go out to meet the guests in the afternoon, deal with the old lady, deal with the minister, and those envoys from various countries, they still have to take time to say a few words.

Besides, you can't break your promise that the people will go to "people-friendly" activities, right?

Finally, when the people on both sides of the royal street were looking forward to penetrating, the gate of the palace slowly opened, and a group of forbidden troops rushed out of the palace gate, standing neatly on both sides of the royal street, vigilantly looking at the people on both sides. At this time, on the rooftops on both sides of the royal street, as well as among the crowd, there were countless pairs of plainclothes brocade guards and royal special forces scanning back and forth.

Everything was ready, Zhao Zhen and his family finally appeared in everyone's field of vision on the dragon chariot, and the two of them got off the dragon chariot at the palace gate, and carefully boarded the strange thing that had been placed there at the palace gate.

"It's moving! It's moving! The sharp-eyed man saw the wooden shelf carrying the emperor slowly moving along with the four wheels.

When the others heard the movement, they all turned their eyes to the big moving thing, and four and a half people's tall black wheels slowly moved forward holding a boat-like thing. There was no horse-drawn horse, no man pushing, only a man holding a disc in the "bow" of the ship, staring closely ahead. On the deck of the "ship" there was also a circle of majestic soldiers, holding colorful flags in one hand and sword handles in the other, and some beautifully dressed palace maids carrying flower baskets and throwing autumn chrysanthemum petals.

The Emperor and Empress stood side by side at the top of the "boat", surrounded by something transparent that seemed to shield them from the autumn wind, and in their place there were four large trumpet-shaped iron barrels, each facing four directions.

That's right, Zhao Zhen and Zhang Rou were sitting on a boat-shaped float ready to parade through the streets, in order to let the people see them, and for safety reasons, the position of the two of them was like installing glass on all sides of a gazebo. Of course, there is still a big gap between the glass they are using now and the bulletproof glass, but at this time he doesn't need bulletproof, when building the carriage, the craftsmen also deliberately chose a thicker thickness, and tested it with the current god arm crossbow, which can ensure their safety.

The four black wheels that appeared for the first time were naturally an attempt by the Royal Research Institute according to Zhao Zhen's intentions, and now they are only inlaid with rubber on the periphery of the iron ring, and there are no pneumatic tires. As for the horseless automatic, which surprised the people, it was just a model of the dragon turtle ship, and someone in the belly of the "boat" was pushing the turntable, and the rear wheel was driven forward through the gears. The person who stands at the bow of the boat to grasp the direction, what he can do is to shake the "steering wheel" in his hand to adjust the direction of the front wheels, as for speed, braking and reversing or something, it all depends on shouting.

The common people don't know why, and naturally they will feel extremely surprised that this big thing can run on its own, and they also admire the emperor's awesomeness to the point of being incomprehensible, who let them only see the emperor ascend and start to move from behind! It must be the emperor's cow break!

Therefore, when this classical version of the "float" came to one place, it aroused the warm cheers of the people, and Zhao Zhen and Zhang Rou also learned from the appearance of the leaders in the previous TV, standing on the roof of the car and waving to the people.

The float walked back and forth along the Royal Street, and after the applause and cheers, it returned to the middle of the Royal Street. The forbidden army received an order to set up a circular defense line 50 meters away from the "float" with the "float" as the center, and the forbidden army on the periphery also began to guide the people to slowly move closer to the defense line, and finally stood around the "float".

After a period of commotion, under the greeting of the forbidden army, the people returned to calm, and they all stared at the emperor, waiting to see the next bustle. Many people are talking in private, this is not because the emperor also wants to perform the "Five Thunder Rectification" for us, I heard that the emperor performed for the ministers during the Chinese New Year last year, but it is very exciting!

Obviously, this time Zhao Zhen didn't plan to perform any show for the people to have fun!

Under the gaze of the common people, Zhao Zhen slowly took out a stack of paper from his sleeve, he took the teacup and moistened his throat, before he put his mouth close to the horn and read aloud: "I and the queen, thank you to my people!" Thank you for taking the time to witness this special day! I want to tell you that from today onwards, our Great Song Dynasty will enter an era of rapid development, and I hope that my people can show 120,000 spirit and contribute their own strength to the development of our Great Song Dynasty! ”

"Here, I would like to take this opportunity to speak to my people face to face!

Legend has it that more than 6,000 years ago, there were two great leaders who led their people to invent agriculture, farming, the lunar calendar and medicine, so that their people went from ignorance to prosperity. ”

"For more than 6,000 years, the land of the Central Plains has been turbulent, various dynasties have changed, and the people have also suffered in every war. My Great Song Dynasty is a descendant of Yin Shang, and I continue the Yanhuang bloodline, so I should create a paradise for my Yanhuang children. However, more than 60 years have passed since the founding of our dynasty, and I am deeply disturbed by the fact that there are strong enemies on the outside and people on the inside, who lack food and clothing! ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream of a day when my people will be able to wear beautiful clothes and dance freely in the sun! On that day, you can cheer as much as you want, jump as much as you want, and praise all the goodness as you like! ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream of a day when all my people will be able to eat whatever they want without being hungry, and there will be no more beggars in this world. ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream that one day my people will be able to live in spacious houses, live in harmony and happiness, and no one will sleep on the streets. ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream of a day when the valley rises, the mountain descends, and the bumpy and winding road becomes a smooth road, just like the Keisei Avenue under construction, stretching under everyone's feet. ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream that one day, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be able to create their own beautiful lives with their hard-working hands, without worrying about the oppression of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and without worrying about the bullying of landlords and bullies. ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream that one day, the people of the Great Song Dynasty will be full of self-confidence, the officials of the Great Song Dynasty will be honest and self-disciplined, and the army of the Great Song Dynasty will dare to sweep away all threats. ”

"Today, I have a dream! I dream that one day, my descendants of Yan and Huang, the sons and daughters of China, will be able to unite and work together. Although there may still be many contradictions now, one day, you will be a Chinese family and face all kinds of opportunities and challenges together! ”

"My dreams are endless, but if these dreams want to become reality, we need me, and I need the joint efforts of thousands of people in the Great Song Dynasty! I hope you will encourage you! ”

After a moment of silence, thunderous applause and cheers resounded throughout the capital......
