Chapter 740: The Son's Marriage (I)
On May 15, the 28th year of Zhenguan, it was the auspicious day selected by the Qin Tianjian Prison, and the ceremonies of Nacai, Mingming, and Najib had already been held, and it was the most important personal greeting to be carried out today. Speaking of which, the steps of a royal wedding are actually similar to those of ordinary people, and only some details have changed.
Like all married people, Shangguan Tingzhi was also pulled out of the bed before dawn, and then there was a special person to make up for him, and the groom and the bride had to put on a very heavy makeup on this day, and they couldn't see their original appearance at all.
After Shangguan Tingzhi put on makeup and put on new clothes, he immediately went out to the palace to greet his relatives, Li Shimin even ordered a national holiday in order to celebrate the wedding of his son, and even ordered a national holiday for a day, so on this day, almost all the people of Chang'an City flocked to the street, ready to see the wedding of the most favored princess of Jinyang.
However, so many people poured into the streets, which would naturally cause road blockages, fortunately, Li Zhi had already guessed this situation, so he transferred a team of soldiers into the city and lined up in two teams on both sides of the road to welcome the new people, which made the team to welcome the relatives arrive in the imperial city smoothly.
On the square in front of the imperial city, in order to celebrate the marriage of his son, Li Su and Li Zhi and others summoned a lot of famous singing and dancing, acrobatics and other performance groups, especially the Hu people who can sing and dance, they set up a stage on the square to perform, let the people of Chang'an watch, and the people who watch can also vote for the performance group, to the end which group has the most votes, you can get a sky-high reward of 50,000 yuan in addition to the due reward, so these invited performers are extraordinarily hardworking, The square also erupted in bursts of cheers from time to time.
Shangguan Tingzhi's welcome procession crossed the square and entered the imperial city. If it is placed in an ordinary person's house, you need to go outside the courtyard where the bride lives. Then he welcomed the bride into the carriage, but now he was going to marry the princess. So the rules have naturally changed.
First of all, Shangguan Tingzhi should go to the Taiji Hall first, at this time, Li Shimin and the eldest grandson queen sat on the main hall, the prince and princess and the civil and military officials were on both sides, and when Shangguan Tingzhi came in, the eunuch read out the marriage decree, the content was nothing more than to praise Shangguan Tingzhi, and then boast about his daughter, and finally announced that the princess would be given to Shangguan Court as his wife and so on.
The main reason for this program is to highlight the identity of the princess who is different. If the horse wants to marry the princess, he must lower his posture and accept the reward of His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, there are many practical contents in this decree, such as the gift of the princess's mansion, property, and possessions as a dowry. The son-in-law is Li Shimin's favorite daughter, so her dowry is also extraordinarily rich, even exceeding the specifications of any princess in history when she got married.
And this is only the dowry given by Li Shimin, and there are also congratulatory gifts from Li Chengqian, Li Ke and other brothers, among which Li Su is the most generous. He gave his son several of his best houses and manors in Datang and Daqi, and also built a Jinyang Princess steam cruise ship for his son, which is now parked in Bohai Bay.
Now Datang and Daqi are so closely connected, and offshore navigation is also very safe. After the son-in-law gets married, she will no longer be bound by the court, and she will have a lot of free time, when she can go to sea with Shangguan Court. Go to Li Su or Tianzhu to have a visit, after all, she is not only the princess of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, she is also the eldest princess of the Three Kingdoms of Daqi, Tianzhu and Dawu.
It is worth mentioning that Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li You and others were all recalled to Chang'an. First, he was to attend the wedding of his son, and secondly, they were princes after all, and Li Shimin also wanted to get together with these sons before leaving.
Originally, with the sensitive identities of Li Chengqian and Li Tai, they really shouldn't have returned to Chang'an at such a time, after all, both of them were more qualified to ascend the throne than Li Zhi at the beginning, even if they are demoted now, there are still many original princelings and Wei Wang parties in the court. However, now that Li Su and Li Ke and a few others are in Chang'an, Li Zhi's position as the crown prince is extremely stable, and no one can think of anything, so Li Shimin will recall these sons to Chang'an with such confidence.
It's just that Li Shimin feels a little sad that Li Tai's health has become very bad now, mainly because he is too obese, he fell ill once on the way to Chang'an, and finally arrived a few days ago, but when Li Shimin saw him, he obviously felt that Li Tai was a lot older, not only had a lot of gray hair on his head, but also had a little more wrinkles on his face, and a person in his thirties looked like a person in his fifties.
Comparatively speaking, Li Chengqian and Li You are in good spirits. Although Li Chengqian still did not restore the throne, but now he is in place of Li Ke to guard Shanghai, is the second assassin of Shanghai, and he was personally involved in the construction of Shanghai, so he has a deep understanding and feelings for Shanghai, and now Shanghai under his governance, has become the fastest growing port along the coast of Datang, and Guangzhou in the south, Dengzhou in the north is listed as the three major ports of Datang.
It is precisely because there is something to do, and the development of Shanghai also gives Li Chengqian a sense of accomplishment, coupled with Li Su's persuasion at the beginning, he has completely assured himself of the throne, so he has become more and more energetic over the years, and he looks a few years younger than Li Tai, which makes Li Shimin lament Li Tai's aging at the same time, but also feel a little relieved for his eldest son.
Li You is still serving as the nominal governor of North Korea and China and South Korea in Daqi, he doesn't do anything every day, and when he is in a good mood, he will take his wife and children out to play, and Li Yu does not restrict his freedom, so Li You has traveled almost all over Daqi. It may also be this kind of leisurely life that makes Li You also rich, and his waist circumference is twice as thick, which is not as good as Li Tai for the time being, but it is on par with Li Yun.
After the decree of marriage was read, Shangguan Court received the decree of thanksgiving, and then under the leadership of Li Chengqian, Li Ke and Li Su and others rushed up and brought Shangguan Tingzhi to the palace where his son lived, but on the way, Shangguan Tingzhi was unlucky!
"Boy, you are very lucky, you can marry our little son, but the ugly words are in front, if you dare to bully her after marriage, then don't blame me, the starling brother, for having a bad heart!" Although Li Zhen was dressed in a gorgeous royal robe, he spoke with a murderous aura, as if he was giving an ultimatum to his enemies.
Regarding the matter of his son-in-law getting married, Li Zhen and their brothers felt similar to Li Shimin, they were both happy and a little sad in their hearts, and they felt as if they were going to give away the treasures they treasured in their homes to others for nothing, so he was naturally very unhappy in his heart, so he was ready to knock on the official court, so as not to be wronged after his son-in-law passed the door.
Looking at the murderous Emperor Tianzhu in front of him, and then thinking of the newspaper report about Li Zhen's easy killing, Shangguan Tingzhi was just an ordinary scholar, where did he suffer from Li Zhen's murderous aura? Therefore, for a moment, he felt that his whole body was cold. In the end, I finally endured the fear in my heart and said, "The more ...... His Royal Highness King Yue can rest assured that Tingzhi will never let Mingda suffer half of the grievances! ”
Seeing that Shangguan Tingzhi's attitude was not bad, Li Zhengang wanted to say something more, but was pushed away by Li Yun, and then saw His Royal Highness King Jiang facing Shangguan Tingzhi with a kind face: "Tingzhi, we will be a family in the future, your starling brother is a rough person, you don't have to take his words to heart, and I also believe in the vision of the son, the person she chooses, will definitely not bully her in the future, in addition, I don't think you have to be a newspaper gentleman anymore, I am in urgent need of manpower there, it is better for you to bring your son to our Tianzhu after the wedding." , I don't have any other skills to be a seventh brother, but it's no problem to arrange a thorn history for you to play! ”
As soon as Li Yun's words fell, Li Zhi next to him grabbed it a little unhappily and said, "Seventh brother, this is not right, I am also the brother of my son and Tingzhi, will I still treat them badly after marriage?" Besides, the weather in Tianzhu is so hot, the son will definitely tan when he arrives there, and I heard that the natives of Tianzhu are dirty, and the city is full of stinking, so I suggest that Brother Seventh Brother you should solve the sanitary situation of Tianzhu first and then come to dig the court! ”
"Haha, what the ninth brother said is right, seventh brother, you are really not suitable for the son and the court to go, but my side is different, the scenery and climate on the Mediterranean side are quite pleasant, especially suitable for living, and the caviar that is abundant there is very fond of it, and yesterday I was clamoring to go to Rome and other places to have a look, so I think it is best for you and the son to go to me!" At this time, Li Ke also laughed and said, in fact, he didn't really want to rob people with his two younger brothers, but just watched them chat, so he came up and interjected to see the jokes.
Shangguan Tingzhi faced these brothers-in-law in front of him, especially the other party was all extraordinary, which gave him great pressure, so he didn't know how to answer the other party's words at all, so he could only smirk and sweat nervously, and the thick powder on his face was washed away by sweat, and as a result, he suddenly turned into a big face.
Seeing Shangguan Tingzhi's embarrassed appearance, Li Chengqian, who was the elder brother, finally couldn't help but smile and said: "Tingzhi, don't listen to their nonsense, after you marry your son, how should you live or how to live, and even if you really like the work of the newspaper, then you will still stay in the newspaper, but with your current status, I am afraid that you will be affected by something, you must be mentally prepared for these!" ”
Although Li Chengqian is no longer the crown prince, he is the eldest son after all, so his words are still very prestigious, and even the Shangguan court felt relieved after hearing it.
Next, Li Tai, Li You and others also said a few words, and there were also Li Shen, Li Fu and Li Ming, three younger guys, but they pestered Li Ke, Li Zhen and a few others, begging them to take them out to sea to play.
At the end of the day, only Li Su had not spoken, which made Li Chengqian and them very strange, after all, emotionally speaking, Li Su and his son had the deepest relationship, and now that his son was getting married, he should be the happiest and the saddest one in his heart, but why didn't he say a word until now? Therefore, for a while, everyone's eyes were focused on Li Su. (To be continued......)
