Chapter 91: The Prince's Wedding
The East Palace of the Prince is immersed in a festive atmosphere. The wedding of the crown prince is busy preparing.
The prince's east palace and the Shandong wealthy family both publicized this wedding ceremony of great political significance with great fanfare, silently showing the alliance between the Tang prince and the Shandong wealthy family to the entire Tang Dynasty. All the important ministers of the Tang Dynasty understand that the prince Jiancheng has the full support of the wealthy families in Shandong, and his power will rise sharply, and the momentum will be amazing, attracting more officials to take refuge and join him; The wealthy family of Shandong and the crown prince completed a marriage, and their identities also changed from a powerful political force that was carefully guarded by the emperor to a foreign relative force, and officially entered the Tang Dynasty.
Under the recommendation of the crown prince, the Tang Emperor Li Yuan issued an edict to canonize Zheng Guanyin's father, and the former Sui Congyi opened the palace with the three divisions, and Zheng Jibo, the doctor of Jin Ziguanglu, became the prince of the Tang Dynasty, and became the fourth person in the Tang Dynasty after Du Fuwei, the king of Wu of the Tang Dynasty, and his status was second only to the emperor Li Yuan, the prince Jiancheng, and the king of Qin, Li Shimin; Zheng Renji, the general of the Right Wuwei, the patriarch of the Zheng clan in Xingyang, and the head of the Hao clan in Shandong, was canonized as the highest official of Zhengsanpin Zhongshu Province - Zhongshu Ling. Zheng Jibo and Zheng Renji both entered the inner court meeting and participated in the decision-making of the imperial court.
Two people from the Shandong Hao clan entered the Tang Dynasty Inner Court Conference at the same time, which shocked the entire Tang Dynasty and the opposition.
Li Shimin, the king of Qin, had a bitter face, but he was helpless. In officialdom, there has always been an unwritten rule, and some people obviously do not have much credit to the country, but they enjoy high-ranking officials. For example, relatives, such as the emperor's playmates since childhood, eunuchs. For example, Wang De, the confidant of Emperor Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty and the chief eunuch of the eunuch, is the provincial supervisor of the Tang Dynasty, and the eunuch who manages the entire palace. The grade is the same level as the official department Shangshu Gao Shilian. Not because Wang De was meritorious to the country, but because of Emperor Li Yuan's trust in him. Zheng Jibo and Zheng Renji of the wealthy family in Shandong are also the same, although they have no great merit, they are real relatives. Unlike Wang De, Zheng Jibo and Zheng Renji represent the wealthy families of Shandong, they have this strength, but they have been suppressed by the Tang Dynasty, and they took the opportunity to marry the prince of the Tang Dynasty to show it. Now even he, the King of Qin, can't stop the Shandong Hao clan from entering the Tang Dynasty Inner Court Conference.
The grand wedding ceremony was held in the spring when everything was recovering.
On that day, the people of Chang'an, the entire imperial capital, were almost empty, pouring into the streets to witness the wedding of the Tang Prince. The officials of the imperial court went in person because of the presence of Emperor Li Yuan. When the crown prince Jiancheng on a white horse and the convoy of the Li clan of Longyou who accompanied him to greet his relatives drove out of the palace and drove on Suzaku Street, the people of Chang'an, the imperial capital, suddenly boiled. "Congratulations to His Royal Highness the Crown Princeโ" unexpectedly drowned out all the laughter. When the prince in a red groom's dress was built and dragged Zheng Guanyin, who was dragged in a red skirt, out of the mansion of the prince and the prince Zheng Jibo, the simple people of the imperial capital couldn't help but be moved by the marriage of the god-like talent and beauty in front of them. The people of the imperial capital regarded this beautiful and noble marriage as a good omen for the prosperity of the country, and they respected and envied it, and they were fascinated.
The East Palace of the Prince is completely new, with colorful lights and a festive atmosphere.
When a bright moon floated into the middle of the night sky, although Chang'an City canceled the curfew because of the prince's wedding, and the people of Chang'an were still gathering to celebrate, the prince's east palace was already quiet.
Zheng Guanyin waited alone in the cave room, she was very excited, and the wedding ceremony during the day made her excited; She was also very frightened, at a loss for what to do about to face His Royal Highness the prestigious Crown Prince. In a nervous mood, she sat silently.
A clear sound of footsteps sounded in the cave room.
"He's coming." Zheng Guanyin lowered his head shyly and waited silently.
Prince Jiancheng gently walked up to Zheng Guanyin and lifted her hijab.
Zheng Guanyin is as beautiful as a flower, and under the candlelight, his red face looks unusually shy and charming, which makes the prince's heart shocked, obsessed with it, and can't extricate himself.
Looking at the demented prince who was looking at it, Zheng Guanyin couldn't help but laugh stupidly.
The crown prince couldn't help but blush. I am really in a good mood today, not only because of my wedding, but also because of the cheers and support of all the people at the wedding ceremony. These cheers and cheers used to belong to his unruly younger brother King Qin, and they were unattainable for himself. Now I've experienced it myself, and I feel really good. These should belong to you, and they will all belong to you in the future, and no one wants to take them. At the wedding ceremony, the crown prince Jiancheng saw Li Shimin, the king of Qin, who was following the emperor Li Yuan, his face was gloomy and unhappy, but he had to congratulate himself on his new marriage. Seeing the deflated appearance of Li Shimin, the king of Qin, the crown prince Jiancheng felt very comfortable in his heart, as a younger brother, he should keep his duty, even if he was unhappy in his heart, he had to bow to himself. The crown prince Jiancheng believes that in the near future, he will inevitably completely suppress his own younger brother, so that he can understand what is the difference between monarchs and ministers, and what is the order of the young and the old.
The crown prince Jiancheng took Zheng Guanyin into his arms very gently, and soon the two fell asleep deeply.
Hebei, the camp of Liu Heimin, the king of Handong.
The left servant of the Xia Dynasty shot Fan Yuan and reported to Liu Heimin: "The prince of the Tang Dynasty married Zheng Guanyin of the Zheng family in Xingyang as the crown princess. โ
Liu Heimin sneered: "As long as Luoyang is captured, the land of Hebei and Henan in the Tang Dynasty will be owned by me." The prince of the Tang Dynasty still has the heart to marry the crown princess at this time, benevolent, filial piety and virtuousness? Phew, it's just mediocre. โ
Liu Heimin's answer made Fan Yuan stunned.
Dong Kangmai, the secretary of the Xia Dynasty's military department, Gao Yaxian, the right general, and Chang He, the left general, also looked at each other.
Liu Heimin, the king of Handong, is a military general and is very good, but he doesn't understand politics. The marriage between the prince of the Tang Dynasty and Zheng Guanyin of the Zheng clan of Xingyang means that the wealthy families of Shandong who supported the Xia Dynasty will definitely turn to support the Tang prince who conquered Hebei and support the Tang Dynasty. Without the support of the wealthy clans of Shandong, the Xia Dynasty army would have collapsed. And Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Gao Yaxian, and Chang He all saw this, but Liu Heimin didn't see it. He is just a military general, not a political master, and he doesn't even have the most basic political sensitivity.
Fan Yuan, Dong Kangmai, Gao Yaxian, and Chang He did not persuade Liu Heimin, because Liu Heimin only cared about the war, and he was not interested in other politics, diplomacy, food, grass, equipment, etc., and he would not deal with these things. He'll turn it over to a few of them. In that case, why should Fan Yuan and the others waste all that effort?
