Chapter 290: Marriage
Yang Luochuan's face changed a few times, and by this time, his original plan had been completely destroyed. Among the soldiers and horses he could rely on, the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Zhennanhou were the trump card. At this time, in terms of Yuzhou's internal defense and internal troubles, it was very difficult to resist the 100,000 Jiangdu soldiers and horses outside the city without reinforcements. This forced him to make a choice between war and peace.
At this time, if the soldiers and horses of the king of the west annihilated the 60,000 soldiers and horses of the marquis of Zhennan, then the army of the king of the west could drive straight into the direction of Yuzhou, and then Yuzhou would become a battlefield between the king of the west and the king, and the king of the south would not have much right to speak. What's more, Yuzhou is located in the north of the Southern Qi Dynasty, Yuzhou is in chaos, and the Southern Qi has no reason not to send troops.
Now Yang Luochuan does not have the courage to fight, and if he continues to fight, he will die.
And, there can be two options, one is to make peace with the king of the west, but there was the king of the west treacherously before, even if he goes to the king of the west to talk about peace with a shy face now, the king of the west may not pay attention to him. Now the 60,000 soldiers and horses of Zhennan Hou are blocked from returning, and in the case of no supply of food and grass, they will collapse without a fight within a month or two. Now that Yuzhou is besieged by Jiangdu soldiers and horses, and he is too busy to take care of himself, how can he come to help Zhennanhou?
Yang Luochuan finally understood that Han Jian's marriage was imperative, if Yang Luochuan did not choose to unite with Jiangdu's soldiers and horses, then the king of the south would be defeated miserably. But even if he unites, Yang Luochuan is no longer as strong as before, and he can suppress the already weak Dongwang. Because of the dominance of this alliance, it will change from Yang Luochuan to Han Jian. Han Jian has the absolute initiative in the choice of troops and alliances.
"Nanwang still has to think about it?" Han Jian's tone was a little impatient, and he said, "If King Nan thinks that it is inappropriate to mention it in Xia, even if he kills him, then see who else will help King Nan tide over the difficulties." ”
Yang Luochuan's face changed again, and he thought that Jiangdu was now under the control of the empress. As soon as Han Jian died, the empress would never choose to recruit him, and the empress sent troops without consulting Han Jian, and she had already made clear the empress's position, that is, to pacify the Wei Dynasty by force. It also completely pacified the scourge of the four kings. In this case. He and Han Jian were both suppressed by the empress, and they belonged to the same disease, and his killing of Han Jian was tantamount to clearing the way for the empress to take over the military and political affairs of Jiangdu.
"What did the virtuous son-in-law say?" Yang Luochuan smiled and said, "The wedding banquet outside has been prepared." It is still not appropriate to say more. It's time for the marriage to take place. ”
Han Jian smiled. It seems that Yang Luochuan still knows the current affairs, and the so-called knowledge of the current affairs is Junjie, and Yang Luochuan can naturally figure it out. What is behind this marriage? Even if Yang Luochuan was reluctant in his heart, in the face of the pressure of the current situation, Yang Luochuan still had to compromise.
"Please." Han Jian and Yang Luochuan walked out of the main hall together.
The wedding banquet outside has been prepared, and the soldiers and officials of the Southern Wangfu have also begun to sit at the table, but this time, no one from the Dongwangfu except Han Jian came. At this time, Yang Luochuan couldn't be reluctant, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to detain Han Jian's two aunts who led the troops, Han Cui's and Han Zhao's when they entered the city, but now he knew that his "conspiracy" had been learned outside the city, and Han Jian's two aunts naturally wouldn't come.
The marriage took place normally. However, because Han Jian is in Nanwangfu, and the marriage is also held in Nanwangfu, there are many fewer steps in the marriage.
There is no need to greet relatives, and there is no need to go to the house, Han Jian only needs to wear a dress and wait for Yang Li'er, who is the bride, to come out.
At noon, when it was the so-called "auspicious time", Yang Li'er was dressed in a red dress, with a phoenix crown and a veil covering her head, and came out with the help of the maid.
Han Jian was about to step forward, but Yang Luochuan smiled and said, "Why should the virtuous son-in-law be anxious, before visiting the church, you can't have any contact with Li'er." Haha, it seems that you have no experience. ”
Han Jian secretly cursed in his heart, this is not nonsense, everyone knows that he Dongwang has never been married, this is naturally the first time he has experienced this kind of thing, and it is natural that he doesn't understand the rules.
Yang Li'er clasped her hands in front of her chest and walked leisurely step by step. When Yang Li'er arrived in the main hall, Han Jian stepped forward, and an attendant sent the flower balls over, Han Jian and Yang Li'er each held the flower balls with red silk at one end, and walked to the bottom of the main hall. Yang Luochuan sat at the head with a sinister smile, as if he was ready to let Han Jian salute.
Han Jian looked at it and always felt that something was missing. After thinking about it, I found that in the entire Nanwang Mansion, except for Yang Li'er and Yang Luochuan, there were no relatives of the Yang family, and even Yang Li'er's mother did not show up. You can imagine how hasty and childish this marriage is. However, because it was a political marriage, the people present were basically the generals and officials of the Nanwangfu, which was equivalent to letting these people witness the centennial good relationship between Han Jian and Yang Li'er, so that Han Jian also felt that this marriage lacked a lively atmosphere, and treated Yang Li'er a little.
"Son-in-law, what are you waiting for? If you don't visit the church again, the auspicious time will pass. Yang Luochuan said with a smile.
Han Jian nodded, and the person presiding over the marriage began to roll call.
Han Jian and Yang Li'er bowed three times, originally Han Jian wanted to help Yang Li'er, who was the bride, into the room, but Yang Luochuan came over and took Han Jian's hand, saying that he was going to introduce the generals and officials outside.
"Virtuous son-in-law, on the little girl's side, someone will send her into the room. You don't have to worry, if you see people outside, this king won't embarrass you, and you don't need to drink too much, just wait a while and go back to spend candles with the little girl. ”
Han Jian sighed, Nanwang is sincere not to give him and Yang Li'er a chance in the world. In Yang Luochuan's view, since he wants to form an alliance, the alliance is bigger than the sky, and as for his daughter's happiness, it is Fuyun.
Han Jian naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to watch Yang Li'er leave the main hall and go in the direction of Yang Li'er's small courtyard with the help of the maid. That is Yang Li'er's boudoir, and tonight will also be Han Jian and Yang Li'er's wedding room.
After that, Yang Luochuan introduced the guests who attended the marriage to Han Jian one by one. These people, including local generals, and some officials who were originally sent to the local area by the imperial court, but because of the current civil strife in the imperial court, these officials basically took refuge in Yang Luochuan.
Among these people, Han Jian only knew a few of them, and these people were still surnamed Huang, including Huang Lie. However, obviously Yang Luochuan didn't pay attention to Huang Lie, and when he introduced Huang Lie, it was only a sentence, he naturally didn't think that Han Jian and Huang Lie were iron buddies, and Huang Lie had planned a lot of things with Han Jian behind his back before.
After seeing the generals and officials of the Nanwang Mansion, Yang Luochuan no longer forced Han Jian as promised, and let Han Jian return to the room. It is said that it is simplified, but Han Jian spent an afternoon seeing the guest, and by this time, he had not eaten water and rice for a day, and it was inevitable that he would be hungry in his stomach.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Han Jian was also afraid that Yang Li'er would be in a hurry in the room, so he went to Yang Li'er's small courtyard under the guidance of the maid and his entourage.
"Uncle, please come in." The maid who was in charge of guiding the way stopped entering when she arrived at the door, and said, "This is the courtyard of the second lady, and we don't dare to enter casually." ”
"Youlao, please go back." Han Jian said.
"No." The maid said, "Today we are going to stay here, if the second lady and uncle have anything to order, just come out and give orders." ”
Han Jian thought to himself that this should be sent by Yang Luochuan to spy on him and Yang Li'er, and he could probably guess that Yang Luochuan was also a little uneasy about his daughter, after all, on the night Han Jian appeared, Yang Li'er had a lot of protection for Han Jian, how could Yang Luochuan not know that his daughter was already extroverted?
When Han Jian entered the small courtyard, the entire courtyard was still clean and elegant, without a festive atmosphere.
Only the big red candle lit in the room showed that it was a festive marriage.
The door of the house was open, Han Jian arrived at the door, and found that there was not only Yang Li'er alone, but also a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl standing. Han Jian looked at the girl's face, it was not delicate, it could only be regarded as average.
"Say hello to the county horse." The maiden saluted.
"Girl?" Han Jian looked at the girl's clothes, not like a maid, and ordinary maids didn't dare to enter Yang Li'er's house.
The girl bowed her head and said: "The little girl is the sister of the second lady, and today is the ...... to marry."
Han Jian nodded slightly, although he had never been married, he still had some understanding of marriages in this era. This girl claimed to be Yang Li'er's sister, but she called Yang Li'er "Second Miss", which also shows that although this girl is Yang Luochuan's daughter, she has a low status in Nanwang's Mansion. After all, Yang Li'er is a concubine, and she is a concubine.
"There is labor." Han Jian saluted.
"Don't dare to be." The girl saluted again, and her attitude was also respectful when she spoke.
The marrying party may be a maid from a big family, but the wealthy official's family is generally also a relative of the woman, and she is a better sister in the boudoir. Only in this way will the woman who marries with her have a common language, and it is easier for her to be bound together without jealousy. The bride is also regarded as the woman's private property, and if the woman is dissatisfied with the bride sister or maid, she can even be assigned or even beaten to death without the government having anything to do with it.
This is also the reason why the girl didn't even dare to breathe in front of Han Jian.
"Girl, please go out first, I have something to say to your sister." Han Jian said.
The girl was a little embarrassed: "Today, the little girl doesn't dare to go out......"
Han Jian sighed, the sisters who marry are equivalent to marrying together, even if they want to have sex, the sisters can only wait by the bedside.
Han Jian saw Yang Li'er sitting motionless on the edge of the bed, and knew that Yang Li'er was not feeling good in her heart at this time, so he said to the girl: "You go to the door and wait for a while, you don't have to go out of the yard." ”
"Yes." The girl moved to the door, went out, and closed the door with great interest.
As a result, only Han Jian and Yang Li'er were left in the entire room.
Han Jian walked to the side of the bed and wanted to take off the hijab for Yang Li'er, stretched out his hand and landed on Yang Li'er's hijab, and was about to lift it, but Yang Li'er grabbed Han Jian's hand. (To be continued......)
