Chapter 286: Zhengde's Wedding (Part II)
For ancient women, the words "no children after marriage" are very hurtful, more serious than slapping her, women's status in this era is not high, it is probably equivalent to a fertility tool, and women basically agree with this, and now Zhang Sheng completely vetoed Du Yan's role in one sentence, teaching her how can she not be angry?
Zhu Houzhao and the civil and military officials stood in front of the Zhengyang Gate, and the women were supposed to enter the Cining Palace, and the Queen Mother waited for the new queen to come to greet them, and then the news came from the palace that the emperor suddenly decided to go out of the palace to greet him, and the women were also flustered, and suddenly changed the ceremony process, and the women did not know what would happen later. The domain name is the full spelling of the sky, please remember the domain name of this site!
So when the ministers stood helplessly outside the Zhengyang Gate, the women also walked out of the palace gate, wearing red and green brand new imperial uniforms, and gathered in a pile far away from the ministers.
Among all the ladies of the Commandment, Du Yan is the youngest and the most restless.
At first, the dignified little appearance worked hard to maintain it for half an hour, but then I couldn't stand it anymore, and gradually there were more small movements of scratching my ears and touching my nose, and when I saw Xianggong and the emperor in a dragon robe not far away, Du Yan's eyes lit up, her thin lips were quietly pursed, and she slowly retreated to the end of the life woman team, and then her eyes blinked, and she quietly slipped to Qin Kan's side while people were not paying attention.
"Xianggong, which is the book of the Ministry of Rites? Xianggong, please point it out to me......"
Qin Kanzheng was laughing with Zhu Houzhao, and when he heard this, he subconsciously raised his hand, then came back to his senses, turned his head to look, and saw Du Yan's angry and murderous look, and couldn't help but be startled.
"Yan'er, you ...... What are you doing on my side? ”
Du Yan sneered, and suddenly saw Zhu Houzhao beside Qin Kan looking at her with a frightened expression.
After beating Zhu Houzhao twice, Qin Kan finally told Du Yan the identity of Zhu Houzhao, Du Yan was also a little shocked at the time, and later Zhu Houzhao often entered the Qin Mansion to find Qin Kan, everyone was familiar with each other, but after being familiar, Zhu Houzhao still maintained a heartfelt fear of Du Yan, after all, he dared to beat him so badly since he was a child, and the woman who had beaten him twice must be a powerful and evil existence, and she had to be in awe.
Seeing Zhu Houzhao looking at her with a frightened face, Du Yan also realized that the occasion was wrong, so he bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "The concubine Qin Du has seen His Majesty. ”
Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but take two steps back, his eyes rolled wildly, and he seemed to have an urge to call a samurai escort.
Qin Kan hurriedly came out to relieve the siege, leaned into Zhu Houzhao's ear and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't be afraid, the minister's wife has beaten people before going out, and she is addicted to it, she is very virtuous and virtuous at this moment......
Zhu Houzhao was shocked: "Mrs. Qin is exempt." ”
After the two met the ceremony, Du Yan looked at Qin Kan and asked, "Xianggong, who is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites?" ”
The voice was soft but full of murderous intent, in Wen Ruian's words, it was called "the gentleness of that knife".
Qin Kan couldn't help but be shocked, it was certain that Du Yan was not looking for the Ministry of Rites to wish him a long life.
"Can you change the question?" Qin Kan sighed.
Du Yan was very easy-going, so she changed the question: "Didn't Xianggong say that today's guns will be fired?" Where is the cannon? ”
The murderous aura of this sentence became more and more obvious.
Zhu Houzhao obviously wanted to improve his relationship with the female overlord, and pointed to the grove in front of him with a little flattery: "Where is the artillery......"
Then he casually pointed to Zhang Sheng in the distance: "Where is the Book of Rites...... Mrs. Qin can personally light the fire and add some noise to my wedding. ”
Qin Kan: "............"
Du Yan threw an approving glance at Zhu Houzhao, and there was a bit of pity in her eyes.
Heroes cherish heroes, and troublemakers cherish troubles.
Du Yan was originally a coarse woman, but seeing that Zhu Houzhao was so easy-going, her previous bad feelings towards this child suddenly disappeared, and she nodded at him heavily: "I will never beat you in the future." ”
Zhu Houzhao suddenly showed a flattered expression: "Mrs. Qin is polite, how embarrassing is this......
Qin Kan suddenly had the urge to go home and hide.
…………
…………
Helplessly, he saw Du Yan wearing a big red suit, and jumped into the woods in a few jumps.
Zhu Houzhao glanced at him, everyone was so familiar, the meaning of his gaze Qin Kan was naturally very clear, and he was probably full of sympathy.
Qin Kan had no choice but to sigh: "Your Majesty went to the sea, and the family was unfortunate ......"
Zhu Houzhao smiled without smiling: "I understand that the sacred beasts of the town house throughout the ages are very fierce. ”
There was a commotion at the end of the street, Zhu Houzhao was in good spirits, and his eyes suddenly flashed with excitement.
Qin Kanzhi said that this excitement had nothing to do with Empress Xia.
Thirty-six people carried the queen jade chariot slowly towards the Zhengyang Gate slowly, led by several Han generals skillfully threw the whip to the open ground, behind a group of mighty ceremonial guards, hanging bead curtains in the jade chariot faintly visible Queen Xia sitting dignified in the middle, where the guard of honor passed, all the people along the street all respectfully bowed.
Queen Xia is only fifteen or sixteen years old, after becoming a country at a young age, the blessing is not small, according to the heart, Queen Xia is really beautiful, goose egg face, cherry mouth, apricot eyes and willow eyebrows, just like the Guanyin Bodhisattva enshrined in the temple, it is in line with the typical appearance of the Ming Dynasty men's aesthetics, when the original election was elected, Emperor Hongzhi must not be a random point of mandarin duck spectrum, the face of the future queen has gone through some careful study, Queen Xia was born well, at first sight is a typical Wangfu Yibang Xing's heirs.
At this time, the Empress Xia in the jade chariot sat more dignified than Guanyin Bodhisattva, her delicate little face was tight, her phoenix eyes revealed a bit of green and deliberately contrived majesty, and her high chin seemed to show the world that she was high and cold.
Qin Kan squinted at Empress Xia's vague silhouette from a distance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
The new queen of the Ming Dynasty is estimated to be the queen for a lifetime, and the purpose of her coming to this world seems to be only to live for the identity of "queen", maybe she would never have expected that she had already lost her husband's favor unconsciously.
Turning his head to look at Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao's eyes staring at the queen jade were a little cold, today's wedding is just one more nominal wife for him, because the subjects of the Ming Dynasty need him to have a queen, that's all.
This is the sorrow of political marriage.
In Zhu Houzhao's eyes, the queen who is more delicate than flowers is less attractive to him than a lively ...... he has been looking forward to for a long time
Walking from the end of the outer street to the front of Zhengyang Gate, a section of the road actually walked for more than half an hour, and the honor guard to welcome the queen finally came.
The civil and military officials waiting in front of Zhengyang Gate were slightly excited, not for this queen, but for the uneasy emperor Your Majesty, the queen is about to enter the harem, Your Majesty will marry and start a family from today, presumably there should be no more nonsense in the future, right? The ministers hope that Zhu Houzhao will be reborn from today, change his mind, and become a wise monarch who is not inferior to the previous emperor.
When the jade chariot was still dozens of zhang away from the Zhengyang Gate, the civil and military officials under the command of Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, formally bowed down to the jade chariot with a courtier's salute. This announced to the world that the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty recognized the identity of the queen, this kneeling, the identity of the queen is settled, even if Zhu Houzhao wants to abolish it in the future, I am afraid that the ministers in the court will not agree, the family affairs are the affairs of the world, even if the emperor wants to divorce, the ministers have the final say, and Zhu Houzhao can't help it.
Zhu Houzhao didn't think about it so long-term, at this moment his eyes flashed with excitement, and when everyone else was bowing their heads and bowing, his eyes glanced at the grove outside the square from time to time.
"Qin Kan, is your wife reliable?" Zhu Houzhao asked impatiently.
Qin Kan knew what he wanted to ask, so he sighed: "She is more reliable than you, don't worry, Your Majesty, she will definitely live up to your expectations." ”
…………
…………
Yu Yuan walked to the front of the Zhengyang Gate, Zhang Sheng glanced at Zhu Houzhao with resentment, the wedding ceremony was originally carried out smoothly, at this moment the emperor actually welcomed out of the palace gate in person regardless of the etiquette system, the next procedure should have been for the queen to enter the Fengtian Temple and worship the emperor, and then accept the congratulations of the hundred officials and envoys of various countries, and now the emperor has stood outside the palace gate, teach him how to continue to preside over the Ministry of Rites?
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Sheng had to temporarily change the etiquette system, and simply let the emperor and the empress go to the Taimiao Temple to pay tribute to their ancestors.
Just as he was about to raise his voice and shout, something unexpected happened.
Rumble!
There was a loud bang in the grove outside the square, Zhang Sheng only felt that the mountains were shaking, and a strong smell of gunpowder came to his nose, and the strong wind with the smell of gunpowder not only blew him away towards the crown, but also made him kick back a few steps.
The civil and military officials in front of Zhengyang Gate suddenly changed color.
The excitement was not over, only the roaring and booming cannon sound was heard, and the ten artillery pieces transferred from the Shenji Battalion were all mighty, and one by one they scrambled to roar.
The crowd suddenly became a mess, whether it was an official or a eunuch, they were all frightened and scared, holding their heads and running around, and the square was screaming in horror.
Zhu Houzhao's expression became more and more excited, and he almost danced, and the personal guards surrounded him as if he were facing a great enemy, but Zhu Houzhao kept poking his head out of the human wall, and kept scolding in his mouth: "It's so fun and lively, why are you guys stopping me?" Get out of the way! ”
There was a panic around, Queen Xia in the jade chariot was so frightened that she couldn't hold her face anymore, looking at the chaotic crowd, Queen Xia was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl after all, she endured it for a while, and when she heard another cannon sound that shook the mountain, Queen Xia finally deflated the corners of her mouth, and cried loudly.
Zhang Sheng was furious, the moment the cannon sounded, he immediately thought of a certain culprit, of course, at this moment, he couldn't find trouble with the culprit, but a certain accomplice must not be let go.
The accomplice's surname is Qin, and his name is Kan.
Like a boat in the angry sea, Zhang Sheng squeezed left and right in the crowd, squeezed to Zhu Houzhao and Qin Kan with all his might, glared at Zhu Houzhao hatefully, stretched out one hand suddenly, and grabbed Qin Kan's clothes.
"Qin Kan, you traitor, everything is your idea, right? If the wedding ceremony under His Majesty is broken, the old man will fight with you! ”
This black cauldron is too big and too dark for Qin Kan to bear.
Qin Kan broke free and decisively betrayed Zhu Houzhao: "Lord Shangshu has wronged me, it was the emperor's idea to set off the cannon, what does it have to do with me?" ”
"Hugh has to quibble! It must be you who stir up trouble in it, slander and bewitch the king, create great chaos and deliberately humiliate the Chinese military officials......"
Qin Kan said sincerely: "Lord Shangshu really misunderstood, the lower officials never do that kind of humiliating and boring thing, if you really let the lower officials do it, they would have already let people fill the barrel with live ammunition, please Lord Shangshu believe me, it is really not my style to release empty cannons!" ”
As soon as the words fell, there was another burst of roaring artillery, and I saw a loud bang at the front door of the Yamen of the Ministry of Rites on the west side of the Zhengyang Gate, the eaves of the door were missing a corner, countless tiles and gravel burst out, and the vermilion gate of the Ministry of Rites was crumbling.
The crowd became more and more panicked and frightened, and even Qin Kan's face showed surprise.
Zhang Sheng was furious, his eyes were split, and he grabbed Qin Kan's clothes and roared like a lion: "Aim so accurately!" This shot should always be your style, right? Bastard! ”
