Chapter 820 Wedding (2-in-1 6ooo words)

In the ups and downs of officialdom in Beijing for many years, I have seen more, and I will not do things too absolutely, although the emperor's marriage has explained a lot, and there will be no future trouble if everyone does not come, but it is always necessary to arrange someone to come here to watch. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If you don't come, you want to see if other people come, and if others don't come, then see what Wang Tong's wedding is like, and you must have first-hand news.

Wang Tong's style of doing things, the rich and noble people of Jingshi all understand, for fear of sending an ignorant person to be taken advantage of by him, and they all arrange for their clever and transparent subordinates to come and stare at it.

Many of these people have seen the world, and they have not seen many heroes and heroes in the Beijing Division, and they have memorized the heroic spectrum, and the eunuch Zhang Cheng is a first-class important figure in the Beijing Division, which must be remembered.

Seeing this old man appear at the corner of the street, there was already a commotion among the people staring at the door, and in such a situation, Zhang Cheng, who was the number one trusted person by Emperor Wanli's side, did not appear here, and many people shouted out in a lost voice.

Then everyone saw that the high-ranking Zhang Cheng and Zhang Gonggong were actually following a carriage, and many cavalry and foot soldiers could be seen around.

What kind of person can make the eunuch of the master of ceremonies follow on foot, but he is sitting in the car, there are only two people in the world who can do this, and now at this time, I am afraid there is only one.

"The Emperor is Coming"

Everyone thought of this joint, and everyone looked at it again, there was a big cart and a cage behind the emperor's car, which were covered with red cloths, and everyone understood better that this was the emperor who came up to congratulate Wang Tong.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way, don't disturb the car"

While speaking, someone has already come over on horseback, shouting loudly on the horse to drive away, the Son of Heaven went out on patrol, although the palace is very close to Wang Tong's mansion, this honor guard can already be said to be light and simple, but there should still be a style.

These staring people scattered in a hurry, and they all went to the place where they tied their horses outside the street, and they had to go back quickly to report and tell their masters that the emperor had come to attend Wang Tong's wedding.

This is still an hour before the wedding, why did the emperor come so early

When many people ran to the street corner, they could hear someone shouting:

"Long live the Lord to congratulate Wang Tong~~~~"

It's really out of line with etiquette and rules, and it's extremely awkward, but who cares.

Two intersections away from the street where Wang Tong's mansion is located, there is a rather large teahouse, which has been contracted by people today, and has been closed to customers since morning.

Inside is Xiangchengbo Chen Jinsheng's family, who is drinking tea leisurely inside, as if waiting for something, not long after, I heard the sound of footsteps outside, a person ran in, and hurriedly said when he entered the door:

"Master, young master, the emperor went to the royal family to congratulate"

Xiangchengbo Chen Jinsheng stretched out his hand and patted the table, and said happily: "This time the bet is right"

Chen Sibao, who was sitting on the side, immediately opened his mouth and commanded:

"Prepare the congratulatory gifts and everything, quickly take the robe of the congratulatory family, and wait for the Hou Ye to put it on, hurry up, don't delay, Xiaosi, you go and tell the Tang family, let them hurry"

In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Fu Shen Shixing asked indifferently:

"Lord Wang, how is the household department's inventory of Songjiang Tianmu, we as courtiers must know how to share our worries for the saint, and don't let the saint urge again and again but there is no reply."

Hubu Shangshu Wang Xun's face was cloudy, he looked left and right, and Mu Ran replied:

"Shen Ge Lao, the household department has been investigating, but the inventory of acres for ten or twenty years, and I have to go to Songjiang Mansion in Jiangnan to check it, it will take time."

"Back then, when Zhang Juzheng was in the field of the world, such things had results in half a month, why did today's household take so long, could it be that there was something hidden in it?"

Wang Xun threw the notebook in his hand directly on the table, and said coldly:

"Shen Ge Lao, Your Majesty wants to investigate, the investigation is the Songjiang Xu family, but it didn't say that it is aimed at our household department, speaking of the Songjiang Xu family, why didn't Zhang Juzheng investigate back then, Wang remembers, the cabinet elder seems to be in the cabinet at that time, why don't you insist?"

The atmosphere in the cabinet is tense, the six Shangshu are all one party except for Zhang Xueyan, and in the cabinet, and the behavior of Shen Shi, the two sides have not dealt with each other, this time the Wanli Emperor has been investigating the case of Songjiang Xu's embezzlement of land, the household department is responsible, Shen Shixing will use this to beat, but the household department Shangshu Wang Xuan is not giving an inch.

While talking, there was a little eunuch who greeted softly outside the door, a cabinet secretary hurriedly walked over, the two sides whispered a few words, but the words and swords in the room stopped, knowing such a situation, it is generally the palace or outside the palace to send a message, and do not report, that means that it is not a business matter, the past cabinet secretary is a person arranged by Shen Shixing here.

Sure enough, after finishing speaking, the cabinet secretary hurriedly walked up to Shen Shixing and whispered a few words, and when he came to the position of cabinet assistant, he was really happy and angry.

Everyone didn't see anything from Shen Shixing's change in expression, but after the cabinet secretary finished speaking, Shen Shixing stood up and said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, Shen has some things to do, so I'm on duty today."

Everyone got up to see each other off, Shen Shixing had just walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, and another eunuch came over to greet the cabinet secretary, and the news from outside gradually passed in.

"Marquis of Wuqing arrives"

"Shuncheonfu Yin Huang Sen arrived"

The acquaintance outside the door shouted the official name, and the acquaintance's voice was a little hoarse, but this was not because he shouted too much, but because he was too excited, he had been in charge of happy events for so many years, and it was estimated that he had never seen so many dignitaries, and what made him even more excited was that he just shouted "Long live the arrival of the lord", it is said that people outside the palace should not be called so.

"Didn't I arrange for you to be helped by an official from the Ministry of Rites? However, such a civil marriage regulation looks more lively."

Emperor Wanli was naturally sitting in the hall, Wang Tong was standing on the side in a bright red auspicious suit, and when he heard Emperor Wanli say this, he said with a smile:

"The wives and concubines of the ministers who have not passed through the door are all commoners, and if it is too complicated, it is easy to make jokes."

"Hehe, marriage is your business, you and your wife and concubine are happy, don't be too entangled in this etiquette."

Emperor Wanli nodded with a smile and said, and while he was talking, someone outside shouted:

"Minister Huang Sen knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor"

"Okay, okay, this is Wang Tong's marriage, don't make me the protagonist, let's find a place to sit down first"

He said kindly, Yin Huangsen of Shuntianfu below naturally led the order to retreat, but he also understood the expressions of Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong above, the two sides talked with a smile, quite close, and they couldn't see the rumors that the Beijing division was boiling these days, and the courtiers were married, even if it was in the Guogong family, the royal family sent a eunuch to congratulate, give some symbolic gifts, and read a congratulatory message.

And didn't the emperor give Wang Tong a woman to marry? This kind of will that makes Wang Tong embarrassed has been given, and the emperor will come in person, if the Son of Heaven presides over the marriage between Wang Tong and this dusty woman, this will not be a shame for Wang Tong, but the royal dignity will also be gone, what does this mean.

I can't understand anything else, but the emperor and Wang Tong seem to be friends when they talk and laugh, and everyone sees it in their eyes, Yin Huangsen of Shuntian Mansion can see it, and other people who come to congratulate him can naturally see it.

Since the Wanli Emperor came to Wang Tong's mansion, within half an hour, anyone who can come in the fastest time is to arrive, and the follow-up people are still slowly coming over, coming to Wang Tong's mansion, since the Son of Heaven is here, then he must come to see the salute first, everyone who came to give gifts and ask for peace has seen the scene of harmony between Wanli and Wang Tong's ministers.

"The minister Shen Shi Xing knocks to see His Majesty"

"Shen Ge doesn't have to be polite, come and talk, you see that Wang Tong's dress is funny or not, I've seen him wear armor and a flying fish suit, and this time he wears a civilian clothes, it's really awkward"

The groom's auspicious dress is transformed according to the dress of the civil official, so Emperor Wanli said so, Shen Shixing smiled and said:

"Your Majesty said and laughed, Lord Wang is heroic, wearing this auspicious dress is also Junyan, Lord Wang, the so-called starting a family, you have already made a meritorious career, and today you are a family, and Your Majesty is happy, this is a number of joys, congratulations, congratulations"

Wang Tong hurriedly thanked him, Shen Shixing's qualifications, even in front of Emperor Wanli, there is a seat, and when Shen Shixing sat down, Shen Li, Yang Wei and several other scholars finished saluting, but Emperor Wanli asked:

"Wang Tong, I want you to go to Jiangnan to investigate the case, do you want to go?"

Wang Tong was stunned for a moment, but then knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty's will will be obeyed by the minister."

Wang Tong knelt down, his expression was indifferent, but there was a trace of anger in his eyes, he had just been in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and everything had not yet stabilized, so he was going to drive himself out of Beijing, and his suspicion of himself had reached such a point? first used marriage to humiliate and beat, and then let himself not be able to take root in Jinyiwei, what did he do wrong

Seeing Wang Tong kneeling down neatly, Emperor Wanli's expression was a little complicated, and he looked at Shen Shixing beside him, Shen Shixing's expression did not change, but he was just like the people who normally participated in the wedding banquet, looking left and right, and greeted the high-ranking officials and nobles who came in one after another with a smile, no one is a fool, if you listen carefully and watch carefully on this occasion, it will be to invite trouble for yourself, Emperor Wanli looked back at Zhang Cheng again, and Zhang Cheng also looked at him with a similar look.

Emperor Wanli's eyes turned to Wang Tong again, Wang Tong did not hesitate when he accepted this order, now he just sat in the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guard, everything is still unstable, some time ago there was a commander in the Jinyi Guard Yamen and he was against him, not to mention that in recent times, many people have either sent a message, or a sparse voice, are saying that Wang Tong is all kinds of lawlessness, although he is nominally the chief officer of the Jinyi Guard, but he has not grasped this stall.

At this juncture, sending him to Jiangnan is tantamount to making him have no way to completely control Jinyiwei, this truth is very simple, Emperor Wanli also understands, Wang Tong will not not understand, but Wang Tong agreed so simply.

Emperor Wanli closed his eyes slightly, and sighed in his heart, as the Son of Heaven and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he must pay attention to the balance of power and strategy, and there can be no situation where the ministers are heavy and the monarch is light, these words, Empress Dowager Li told him, Feng Bao told him, Zhang Juzheng also told him, and he himself knew.

But seeing Wang Tong like this, is what he has done a little too much, Wang Tong is so loyal, he has made such a meritorious deed for himself, and he has done it himself, it is not a balance and a scheme, but a chill in the minds of the courtiers.

"Get up, today is your big day, don't be so restrained"

Emperor Wanli opened his mouth and said, Wang Tong agreed and stood up, and Emperor Wanli also stood up from his seat, patted Wang Tong on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"I'm thinking too much."

Having said this, he didn't continue, the monarchs and ministers sat opposite each other, a little dull, but Shen Shixing understood that Emperor Wanli was staring at the Songjiang Xu family during this time, what was it for.

At this moment, Ma Sanbiao, who was wearing the color of the master of ceremonies, came over, first saluted Emperor Wanli, and then got up and said to Wang Tong:

"My lord, the auspicious time is coming, this"

Although he was asking Wang Tong, the people around the voice could also hear it, Ma Sanbiao was thick and fine, and he said this at this time to Emperor Wanli and Shen Shixing, and the two nobles should not delay Wang Tong's marriage

How could Emperor Wanli not understand, he paused, but said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, your auspicious time is coming, and I also brought a red envelope gift, but it doesn't make sense to take it out at this time, so it's better to remember my will to give marriage."

Wang Tong's face finally did not maintain, and Ma Sanbiao's eyes widened even more, but Wang Tong reacted quickly and said to Ma Sanbiao:

"Three standards, Your Majesty ordered, don't go get it yet"

Ma Sanbiao wanted to say something, but was forced to look back by Wang Tong's stern gaze, after Ma Sanbiao became Wang Tong's housekeeper, his temperament was not as impulsive as before, he hesitated, but still bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty waits"

After Emperor Wanli came, the officials and nobles of the Beijing Division had to come over to show their posture no matter what they thought, and after coming, Wang Tong didn't care about it, but he must let Emperor Wanli see it and prove that his pace was consistent with the Son of Heaven, so recently so many officials, most of them were seated in front of Emperor Wanli.

Crowded is getting more and more crowded, later, can only do this position on the third grade, earl title or above, no identity, when handing over the gift list post, the guest will shout, the seat is not, as for the four products down, then Wang Tong here is not even a post.

Emperor Wanli just raised his voice to say this, and many people below heard it, and many people immediately became excited, is it not enough for the Son of Heaven to marry and slap his face, but also to do it in person, look at you Wang Tong is rampant, do you know the rampant sin today, and some people are pondering there, how to divide Wang Tong's stall and how much he can share.

Over there, Ma Sanbiao hurriedly brought the will, who the Son of Heaven gave the decree, this will is to be offered in the main hall, to show respect, Ma Sanbiao held it with both hands.

Emperor Wanli sat there and looked left and right, and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, the auspicious time has come, bring your three ladies out together, listen to my will, even if it is a marriage"

Wang Tong's expression was neither happy nor sad, but he calmly received the order, and ordered people to lead Song Chanchan and Han Xia, Zhang Hongying and others out, and Emperor Wanli raised his hand and shouted to everyone not far away:

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be so far away, get closer, get closer"

Outside, these marquises, earls, cabinet scholars, monks, and the like all stood up and came forward, but Yang Sichen stood below but whispered to Sha Dongning and the others:

"If there is any movement on Han Gang's side, you must hold him and drag him to the back to tie him up first, this occasion is not the place for his temper, understand?"

Several pro-soldiers nodded, the atmosphere of the guests was good, everyone had a smile on their faces, but Wang Tong's relatives and friends on this side looked wrong, and the will over there was brought up, but Emperor Wanli reached out very casually to take it, and on the other side, the maid was introduced, and the three brides with red hijabs were also led out.

There was a little eunuch on the side who followed the instructions, and after a few people were led to the main hall, they first saluted Emperor Wanli, and after finishing speaking, they stood aside according to the rules.

Emperor Wanli nodded with a smile and accepted the greetings of the three brides, and said with a smile:

"The auspicious time has come, Zhang Companion, chant the will to congratulate the newcomer"

Zhang Cheng bowed and nodded, and also raised his voice and said:

"Listen to the Order"

Wang Tong clenched his fists, but he still knelt down decently, and everyone in the entire mansion also knelt down except for Emperor Wanli and Zhang Cheng who announced the decree.

"Zhang Banban, read it"

Emperor Wanli nodded, but sat down by himself, and there were people looking up at the hall below, but now Emperor Wanli always held the will in his hand, and did not hand it to Zhang Cheng.

The eunuchs who are on the errand of the celebrant have the ability to never forget, and it is common for them to recite the will they have handled, but as a eunuch in the inner court, reading the will is also a great ceremony, and if they do not read the will, it is a big disrespect, Zhang Cheng has been on an errand for many years, how can he not know this rule.

This spread immediately, and many people raised their heads slightly, and what they saw next made everyone even more stunned, and Zhang Cheng, the eunuch who was the master of ceremonies, actually took out another scroll of holy decree from his arms, and unfolded it calmly.

Didn't Emperor Wanli know, but Wanli was watching with a smile on the side, the will over there had already begun to be read, and everyone hurriedly lowered their heads again, at this time, if they were seen by the emperor and Zhang Cheng, they would definitely be convicted of disgrace in front of the king.

"Today, there is Han Xia, the sister of Han Gang of the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, who has a good appearance and is a good match, and has a marriage contract with Wang Tong, and is ordered to be Mrs. Dingbei Hou"

Even if they knew that this occasion should be solemn, but the people below were still shocked, the first thing that was read by the will was Han Xia, and it was clearly Mrs. Dingbei Hou, everyone had heard the detailed content, and some people even knew every word and sentence of the will, and they used it to laugh on various occasions.

But what is circulating outside is not the same as what is read now, the emperor can really toss, and he actually changed the will, but who can say that this will is reversed, who dares to say it, and that will is read in front of the king, but this will is read in front of hundreds of officials, who is true, this is true

"The number of the foreign woman is nine: the public is called Mrs. a certain country, the Hou is called Mrs. Hou, and the uncle is called Mrs. Bo. Mrs. Yipin"

Now that the will says that Han Xia is the wife of Dingbei Hou, that is, the identity of Han Xia's wife has been determined, and everyone looked up one after another and saw that one of the three women kowtowed and thanked him there.

There were a few more little eunuchs holding a guard of honor for the marquise, no one on Wang Tong's side reacted, or Yang Sichen urged in a low voice, and a few pro-soldiers hurriedly stepped forward to take it, and Zhang Cheng recited there again:

"Zhang Hongying, virtuous and virtuous"

Zhang Hongying is still in the second room, this has not changed, Zhang Hongying's side also responded, and then Zhang Cheng read again:

"Song Chanchan's father has been found out by Yousi, it is an unjust case, and now his innocence Song Chanchan is smart and a good match"

Song Chanchan is a third room, and she also pardoned the conviction of Song Chanchan's family, the scene was a little commotion, Zhang Cheng glanced at the following coldly, and said:

"You all know the rules, and you still have to abide by the rules."

was warned like this, and it was a lot quieter below, but at this time, everyone heard the cry again, the Son of Heaven issued an order to exonerate the crime, which is equivalent to giving Song Chanchan an innocent body, although there was a stain in the past, but now from the official law, Song Chanchan is a woman from a good family, Song Chanchan suffered because of the sins in the family, and it is only now that she is relieved, and she naturally cries with joy.

However, a slightly smarter person can also guess that Song Chanchan's joy is not only this, if she is a wife, she will be pushed to the cusp and stared at by everyone, not knowing how dangerous it is, not to mention that Wang Tong is also kind to her, she is a marquise, and she has dragged Wang Tong too much, and after a long time, I am afraid that she can only die.

Now let her become a third room, but it is just the status of a concubine, but this is really a good destination, Wang Tong is a good match, and she doesn't have to be on the cusp, a dusty woman is accepted as a concubine, this is commonplace.

"The minister and the king are grateful to their sons, long live our emperor, long live it"

The will has changed, Wang Tong's marriage is not a joke, Han Xia and Zhang Hong are from a good family, they are innocent, and they are very suitable for the main wife and the second room, Daming has always had the tradition of marrying a daughter of the Han family, this is just in line with it, marrying a concubine, Song Chanchan is older, but it is also stunning, plus she is shrewd and capable, she is a good role as an internal housekeeper, and she understands the Jingshi, which must be of great help to Wang Tong.

Emperor Wanli nodded with a smile and said loudly:

"Start a family, Wang Tong, you start a family today, and you will have to make greater achievements in the future."

Firecrackers rang out, gongs and drums were noisy, and the happy event began.

Not to mention the Son of Heaven, not to mention Li Hutou and his people, the nobles and hundreds of officials in Beijing, and those who are qualified to come to drink with Wang Tong, and when the banquet dispersed and entered the cave room, Wang Tong was already vain and staggering.

The wife and concubine went to the cave room to wait, Wang Tong sent the guests away, tossing until it was almost over, it was also dark, Wang Tong said that he would go back to the study to sober up first, and Yang Sichen followed to help.

Halfway through, Yang Sichen waved his hand to keep the guards away, hesitated and whispered:

"My lord, though I have the will of the day, I can be suspicious and wary."

Wang Tong's eyes were red, his mouth was full of wine, and he interrupted Yang Sichen's words in a dumb voice:

"The emperor is beating and rubbing, rain and dew and thunder, all of them are Jun'en, have I done so much, it's really ~~~~"

Wang Tong laughed-

This chapter is not easy to break, and it comes out together
