After the 10,000-person recruitment meeting, there were still nearly 5,000 bearded women who did not choose men, because these 5,000 people were all members of the women's escort team. I don't know if they were affected by Fan Lihua, in short, they didn't recruit relatives, which made Wu Qing helpless, so he just waited for it to be solved later.

For those who have already formed pairs, Wuqing will not let them enter the cave house immediately, but will report to the mayor of the village on a village basis, and under the supervision of the mayor, both men and women will sign the marriage letter. Only after stamping the county government seal can they officially become husband and wife, and according to Wu Qing's concept, it was decided to set a date for these nearly 30,000 couples to hold a collective wedding.

Wu Qing played the Empress Dowager Wu and asked the Empress Dowager to observe the ceremony and accept the worship. After Empress Dowager Wu saw this recital, she smiled and said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Look at this Wuqing, it's really nonsense, and you want to involve me too, isn't this even scolding those Confucian students!" ”

Shangguan Wan'er saw the smiling expression of the Empress Dowager Wu, and knew that the Empress Dowager was very willing to go, and the Empress Dowager Wu, who liked big scenes, just wanted to find a reason. So he had a plan in his heart and said: "Queen Mother, a few months ago, the Queen Mother Weifu visited Wuqing County privately, didn't she say that when the new county is completed, she will inspect it again?" Why not General Wu, one let the general admit his feelings, and the other queen mother can also see what the newly built Wuqing County looks like. ”

Empress Dowager Wu became more and more fond of the clever Shangguan Wan'er in her heart, and nodded and said: "Yes, I said that I would patrol Wuqing County again that day, and since the new county has been built, then pass on the decree, and half a month later, I will patrol Wuqing County." ”

"Yes, Queen Mother!" Shangguan Wan'er was overjoyed. Then she can go out for a walk.

The news that the Empress Dowager Wu inspected Wuqing County half a month later spread all over Luoyang City, and Wuqing County also spread that the Empress Dowager visited the lucky day. It is the time when 10,000 people get married.

Such a huge news shocked those rotten Confucians who didn't react at once, but then understood that this was the Empress Dowager Wu to express her support for science, and understood this, so she wrote a few articles that didn't hurt, saying that such a wedding had never been seen for eternity. Where is the law of propriety?

Wuqing naturally wanted to fight back, the ancient ancestors hunted and ate meat, and Shennong was the first to taste the herbs. This has never been seen in ancient times, but where does today's rice and corn come from? The group wedding not only saves the extravagance and waste of the wedding, but also saves time, and the wedding of 10,000 people. Enough to go down in history.

So the rotten people said again. Wuqing is selling fame and reputation, and attracting the world's attention with luxury, but everyone knows that the ancestors' etiquette is gradually improved on a reasonable basis.

Wu Qing naturally did not relent, so he said: "Since ancient times, changemakers have improved since the first time, such as a person, there are many firsts in his life. The first time I cried, the first time I laughed. The first time you pee, the first time you walk, the first time you prostitute, etc., all slowly improve after the first time, and then gradually grow. Could it be that Confucian scholars were born to walk and prostitute?

Although Wu Qing's words were straightforward and even a little vulgar, the truth was indeed the truth, and in this way, the scolding war continued until the Queen Mother visited Wuqing County.

Since getting the news of the Queen Mother, the tailor shop in Wuqing County can be said to be busy, and every wedding dress must look like it, although it is a favorite dress for civilians, but it cannot be sloppy. So Wu Qing had to ask the weaver girls of the Shangyi Bureau for help, and with the remuneration of each piece and two, the five hundred weaver girls of the Shangyi Bureau were busy day and night, but this was not enough, Wu Qing took care of the tailor shops in Luoyang, Chang'an and other places. On the ninth day of October, it was completed and transported to Wuqing County. Among them, more than 30 cars transported from Chang'an to Wuqing County were burned in the middle of the road. Fortunately, Wu Qing was prepared in the morning, and none of the robbers who blocked the road about fifty escaped, killed forty people, captured ten people alive, and only waited for the wedding to be interrogated.

The 10th day of October is a good day.

On this day, the sky was high and crisp, the first rays of sunlight shone into Wuqing City, and the sundial needle on the sundial pointed at five o'clock in the morning.

On the drum tower, the drum beat the whole county, and the newcomers in the four districts and sixteen towns gradually came to the square in the center of the county. On the side of the county government, a high platform of about three zhang high was erected, the top can be used for 100 people to stand, here will be the viewing platform of the Empress Dowager Wu, the second layer can accommodate hundreds of people, ready to leave it to 100 officials.

The newlyweds are dressed in wedding clothes, standing in pairs, and every hundred people have a pair of newcomers to guide, so the order is still quite good, Wu Qing knows that he can't treat this wedding like he gets married on weekdays, since the Queen Mother is coming, then why not make a show.

Wu Qing stood on a high platform, raised his right hand, and then put it down, and soldiers waved flags on the four drum towers around the square. Suddenly, the 30,000 pairs of newcomers in the square began to line up, and after a short time, they stood neatly and stood still, they held hands and looked at Wu Qing on the high platform.

His own guards shouted: "Ceremony! ”

The newlyweds fall on their knees and bow down.

Seeing patches of red, watching like a wave and then getting up, Wu Qing smiled, and when the drum music sounded, it was a sign of prosperity.

In the afternoon, Empress Dowager Wu's car arrived slowly.

There are only two gates in Wuqing County, so the Empress Dowager Wu drove to the west gate, and saw a banner hanging on the simple west gate, "Welcome the saint to visit Wuqing County", dozens of red lights were hung on both sides, and the word "happiness" was pasted on it. The city is also full of colorful flags, as well as the golden dragon flag after the change, which is festive.

Baiguan couldn't help but scoff when she saw such a cheesy way, but Empress Dowager Wu was very happy, she seemed to have returned to the scene when she saw civilians getting married in Lizhou when she was a child.

At the gate of the city, Wu Qing led the county officials to greet him, "The ministers welcome the Queen Mother!" ”

Naturally, the Empress Dowager Wu would not show up, and Shangguan Wan'er in the car raised the curtain and said, "The Empress Dowager has an order, and the general will go first." ”

Wu Qing thanked him, and then ordered the other officials to follow the established procedures, and he said: "Please lead the horse for the queen mother." ”

Empress Dowager Wu couldn't help but smile and said, "Okay, it's hard to love Qing." So Wu Qing led the horse and opened the way in front of Jin Wuwei.

When she arrived in the city, the Empress Dowager Wu asked the palace maid to lift the curtain, and she saw the neat courtyard and the smooth and wide streets. I couldn't help but nod and said, "This county is really a little different. ”

When it's almost time to get to the central square. On both sides of the road were welcoming people, seeing that such a vast field had been built in the county, and a sundial was built in the center. I couldn't help but be stunned, this architectural style is really unprecedented.

When he arrived at the high platform, Wu Qing asked: "May I ask the Queen Mother, do you want to watch the ceremony or eat first?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu said: "I'm not hungry in my belly, so let's watch the ceremony first." ”

So Empress Dowager Wu got out of the carriage. Seeing the high platform, I couldn't help but rejoice that Wu Qing could have such an idea.

Wu Qing bowed and said: "Please invite the Queen Mother and important ministers to come to the stage to watch the ceremony, this high platform can only accommodate 100 people." Please go to the second floor below the third grade to watch. ”

So Wu Qing accompanied the Empress Dowager Wu, and followed Guan Wan'er to mix the Empress Dowager Wu on the high platform, and there was a circle chair wrapped in yellow silk in the middle of the high platform. Blankets and soft cushions were laid out in the circle chairs. The palace maids who fanned the left and right sides also went up to the high platform. Wu Qing knew that these palm fan palace maids were newly established plum blossom guards in the past two years, and their martial arts were very strong, and the people they trained were relatively mysterious. The palace maids stood behind the Empress Dowager Wu, and the important ministers such as Neishi and Nayan stood on both sides and discussed. Wu Qing didn't pay any attention to the eyes of Wu Chengsi and Wu Sansi.

After the rest of the hundred officials stood still on the second floor of the high platform. Wu Qing asked: "Empress Dowager, can the wedding start?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu nodded and said, "Let's start!" ”

Wu Qing's right hand fell fiercely, and the flags on the four drum towers were unfurled, and suddenly, a pair of newlyweds in wedding clothes stood in line on the square. At the outermost periphery, groups of soldiers watched nervously for fear of causing trouble. Bad things about the Great General.

Immediately, the master of ceremonies shouted: "Drumming! ”

When the soft drums sound from all around. A majestic and warm feeling poured into the hearts of hundreds of officials like a tide, and also poured into the hearts of Empress Dowager Wu.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

The drums were still playing, and the newlyweds turned around and bowed to the southern sky. Layers of red are like the wind blowing wheat fields, slowly bowing down and kowtowing.

"Worship the saints!"

Immediately, the newcomer turned around, paused, and slowly bowed to the Empress Dowager Wu. Empress Dowager Wu looked at the square in a daze, the red tide was surging towards her, she felt extremely excited, so many newcomers paid homage to herself, this is a new atmosphere, this is a new atmosphere that has never been seen in ancient times.

But before she could suppress the excitement in her heart, she heard a burst of shouts, "Worship the saints, long live, long live, long live!" ”

"Hooray!"

Suddenly, Empress Dowager Wu got up, raised her arms flat, and then said, "Wait for your body!" ”

The eunuch shouted, "Wait for you!" ”

"Thank you, saint!"

"Thank you, saint!"

Wu Qing bowed and said: "Queen Mother, Weichen has prepared a banquet, how about tasting it while enjoying singing and dancing on this high platform?" ”

Empress Dowager Wu calmed down her excited heart, and nodded and said, "That's very good!" ”

At this time, the sun is setting, a touch of afterglow shines on the square, the newcomers leave one by one, Wu Qing waves, the torches on the drum tower swing, and suddenly, the drums on all sides of the square sound. From afar, but in a moment, young men with drums on their shoulders and beating the rhythm walked up to the square.

Wu Qing ordered people to put the dining table, the high table, and placed it in front of the Empress Dowager Wu, and then one after another exquisite dishes were served. Empress Dowager Wu couldn't help but be very happy when she looked at the grand scene of 10,000 people beating drums, and when she saw the delicious food on the table, she couldn't help but be overjoyed. The palace maid who had her own food tasting first clamped everything, and after waiting for a while, Shangguan Wan'er handed the silver chopsticks to the Empress Dowager Wu. Empress Dowager Wu praised it while eating.

The 10,000 people in the field beat the drums, which was also arranged by Wuqing for so many days, not only moved out all the drums of the Teaching Workshop Division, but also temporarily borrowed and collected a lot of them from the people.

But the effect is obvious, in an era like the Tang Dynasty, only Wu Qing is the only one who can use such a technique to express the sound of drums. Even if it is "King Qin's Breaking Array Music", he will be embarrassed.

The drum music is only a part, and then there is the Hu Xuan Dance of the Hu Girls, the Hu Xuan Dance of 20,000 Hu Women, who has ever seen it!?

In an instant, when the cheerful drum music and various musical instruments were added, the Hu Xuan Dance was more suitable for the appreciation habits of the Tang people. Empress Dowager Wu stopped eating, stood up and looked at the dancing Hu Xuan in the center of the square.

Empress Dowager Wu sighed: "If this body is thirty years younger, I will jump on the field for a while." ”

Some young officials also began to dance, and as the Hu Xuan dance in the center of the arena danced, the surrounding people also moved.

As a result, hundreds of officials began to stir. In the blink of an eye, the entire Wuqing County slowly danced, and the people of the Tang Dynasty, who were good at singing and dancing, put down their reserve and began to sing and dance.

After the dance stopped, a bunch of bonfires lit in the center of the square, and simple fireworks rose into the sky, and then burst into the sky.

It immediately attracted the attention of the hundred officials and the Empress Dowager Wu.

"Qing'er, what is this?"

"This is fireworks, I originally wanted to give you a gift on my mother's birthday, but now I have to open my mother's eyes first."

In the teahouse opposite, the women of Wuqing were eating snacks and watching the performance, Princess Taiping sat in the circle chair, and when she saw the fireworks show, her beautiful face showed an extremely bewitching smile. (To be continued......)
