Section 164 King Qin's Honor Guard [Happy Mid-Autumn Festival]
Li Yuanxing really wanted to take two tons of sweet potatoes to Datang, but unfortunately, he only brought less than 400 kilograms.
The rest of the boxes were full of Ye Qiushuang's things, all kinds and variety.
When King Qin traveled, he naturally had a light car and a full set of honor guards.
Li Yuanxing used a full set of honor guards for the first time to travel, this was a suggestion from Cui Dunli, Cui Xiaoli suggested that Li Yuanxing, the people of Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty are still very unfamiliar with Li Yuanxing, the new King of Qin, so Li Yuanxing should let the people of Chang'an know that there is such a King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty.
What's more, the schedule of Li Yuanxing's wedding is getting closer and closer, Li Yuanxing goes to visit various families, and a full set of honor guards is respect!
Li Yuanxing approved this suggestion. But when it was time to really go out, Li Yuanxing was stunned, and Wu Cao, who was wearing a European-style princess costume next to Li Yuanxing, also opened her mouth in surprise, the last time she went to Chang'an, she sat in Li Yuanxing's two-horse carriage, and there were hundreds of guards to enter Chang'an, which was already a big pomp in Wu Cao's heart.
But at this time, Wu Cao knew how far the film and television dramas of later generations had shrunk the honor guard!
Li Yuanxing is the prince, and he was named the king of Qin, and the Ministry of Rites also has four different standards for Li Yuanxing's honor guards. At most, it required a thousand men, and it was used when going out to foreign countries, or when patrolling more than 500 miles.
Among them, there are 12 dragon flags, sun flags, moon flags and other flags, there are nearly 100 of them.
Fan, all kinds of fan sixty-four. Four hundred and eighty ironclad warriors. Leather armor holds halberds, ge, knives, gourds, etc.
This specification is second only to the emperor in the Tang Dynasty and higher than that of the crown prince.
At this time, Li Yuanxing used the third level of standards. It belongs to the standard of King Qin's normal travel. In modern parlance, it is the standard of stringing doors.
The twelve dragon flags will definitely not be reduced, this is the unique symbol of the King of Qin, which was set when Li Yuan named Li Er as the King of Qin, and the twelve-sided dragon clan equal to the emperor, the difference is the twelve dragon flags, the size, color, and style of the flag.
Eighty-eight ironclad samurai, this is a guard of honor and a guard.
These eighty-eight ironclad warriors. Each one is after the honor. If it weren't for the fact that the army was fighting outside at this time, Cheng Huaimo, the eldest son of the elephant Cheng Demon, would be in the royal honor guard, and the second son Cheng Huailiang would be an ironclad warrior in the honor guard of King Qin. This is glory, and it can be said that nine times out of ten officers in Datang. Both came from these two honor guards of ironclad samurai.
Leather Armor Samurai. is the son and nephew of a meritorious sergeant on the battlefield. One level lower than the Iron Armor.
For example, Cheng Motou, even if he is full of honor guards, he can only be thirty-six ironclad warriors.
Banner, ironclad. Leather armor, fan!
With the carriage of eight horses, the maid carrying the lantern at the back of the procession, and the eunuch of the Qin Palace, this team is full of miles!
"Your Highness!" Zheng He, the chief eunuch, led the way for Li Yuanxing in front, and the red carpet was paved for more than 100 meters.
The drums sounded, and the procession slowly started.
Holding on to the chariot, Li Yuanxing's hands were trembling, he had been the king of Qin for more than three months. This kind of honor guard is also used for the first time, generally speaking, it is to bring a guard, light car and simple follow, whether it is to Chang'an, or to the barracks.
Even if you imagine, you can't imagine such a huge team, just going out by yourself.
And according to Zheng He, this is the third-class specification of King Qin's honor guard. The fourth-class specification is too little used, and it is only used in the palace of the Qin Dynasty in Chang'an.
What will happen to the first class specifications? Li Yuanxing looked at the slowly moving team, and his heart was full of flavors.
It was not until this time that Li Yuanxing really understood the four words "shi", "shu", "noble" and "cheap". Maybe I didn't understand it deep enough, but I had more insights than I did at the beginning.
"Do you still want to go shopping?" Wu Cao was also shocked, but she wouldn't reveal it, so she gossiped.
"Shopping, great idea!" Li Yuanxing smiled.
Li Yuanxing was in a daze just now, thinking about the affairs of the family. Thinking about it, I may be too impatient. You can change a few people, but you can't change the morality and rank standards of the entire Datang people.
Shopping? Wu Cao himself laughed, this guard of honor was not to go shopping, but to dismantle the store.
"Someone!" Li Yuanxing snorted lightly, and immediately an ironclad knight approached the chariot, and Li Yuanxing whispered: "Send someone to take the first step, just say that this king asks to enter the palace to face the saint, and also wants to see the emperor tonight." ”
"Yes!" The Iron Knight slowed down and then retreated to the good side of the group.
Soon, six knights in leather armor galloped towards Chang'an City from the side of the procession.
On both sides of the straight road from Qinwangzhuang to Chang'an, not only did all the craftsmen on the busy construction site stop what they were doing, but even the management of the various chambers of commerce hurriedly called the people of their respective chambers of commerce to line up on both sides of the straight road.
Datang does not kneel, unless it is a great event, or when it is a sacrifice to heaven and earth and ancestors.
"At this moment, I know what King Qin is!" Wu Cao sat there motionless and straight, even if her waist was a little sore, she didn't move, and said softly to Li Yuanxing with a straight face: "The entire Tang Dynasty, except for the Tang Emperor, everyone will bend down to King Qin!" ”
"King Qin is a chore, or you lie down!" Li Yuanxing sat up straight and laughed at Wu Cao,
Wu Cao, like Li Yuanxing, is from modern times, and they have never seen the image of other princes in the Tang Dynasty, so they work hard to maintain their image.
If you lie on the chariot at this time, will you be despised by the people?
It should be etiquette to sit upright, just like this guard of honor.
The honor guard of King Qin of the Tang Dynasty came to Chang'an, and the news spread quickly, and His Royal Highness the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty used the official guard of honor for the first time to travel. Even if it is to see something new, many people will rush to both sides of the official road.
King Qin is a good king, just the chambers of commerce around Qin Wangzhuang began to build houses, which made the people of Chang'an a lot richer.
Even those who sell straw sandals sell more than a dozen pairs a day than in the past.
And when the families heard that King Qin used the honor guard to leave Chang'an, the seven great families had already begun to prepare. King Qin established a concubine, even if he did not establish a concubine for the time being, this is also a serious marriage.
The first step should have been completed in the next few days.
The candidates for Nacai have all been decided, and Li Daozong of the Li royal family will represent the Li royal family with the holy decree of the Tang Emperor. And the Qin Palace, Wei Zheng appeared, because Cui Dunli was the Boling Cui clan, so he chose to avoid it.
Seven surnames, actually five surnames. Because the Cui clan is divided into the Qinghe Cui clan and the Boling Cui clan, while the Li clan is divided into the Longxi Li clan and the Zhaojun Li clan. The other three are Taiyuan Wang's, Xingyang Zheng's, and Fanyang Lu's. These wealthy families have the absolute right to speak on their respective territories.
In Chang'an, they also have their own homes.
The first to come to Chang'an was Cui Yingying of the Cui clan of Qinghe, Lu Qiuyu of the Lu clan, and Wang Yuyan of the Wang clan.
After receiving the holy decree of the Tang Emperor, the Li clan of Longxi who opposed it for the first time, they did not even recognize the Li royal family as a member of the Li clan in Longxi, so they did not take the emperor's will to marry to heart at all.
However, the Wang, Cui, and Lu families chose their daughters.
The reason is very simple, the Li royal family is related to Li Yuanxing, it is not related at all, Li Yuanxing is Li Yuanxing, a star monarch from the heavenly court, although the surname is Li, although he was named the king of Qin, but he is not the Li royal family, this identity is enough to marry the family, and it turns out that Li Yuanxing, the king of Qin, has enough means to make the family more prosperous!
After the divine seal and the heaven-sent divine plough, wool and coal are the things that really stimulate the family.
The Wang family has won big profits, huge profits. There is nothing to hide in the family, so the other four families also chose their concubines, since the princess of Qin is not easy to fight, then let the chaos go to the end.
The Taiyuan royal family rejected the Tang Emperor Li Er's election of the crown princess for Li Chengqian. The family knows everything, so the family's heart to choose their daughter to marry into the Qin Wangfu is even more resolute.
The gift of Nacai, seven grand receptions. Asking the name and Najib is almost at the level of the head of the family, or second only to the head of the family in person. And the Taiyuan Wang family, and even the old patriarch have received Chang'an, this huge contrast is also for the Tang Emperor Li Er.
It is even more for the Li royal family to see.
Seven surnames and ten families, what they value is Li Yuanxing, and it has nothing to do with your Li royal family!
The fourth of the six rites, Na Zheng!
The Taiyuan Wang clan is known as a hundred carts for gifts, and a hundred healthy cattle pull a hundred carts, full of dowries.
Li Er has already been rejected once on the matter of Li Chengqian's crown princess, not only Li Er, Li is emperor Li Yuan did not react at all, as an emperor, no matter how big or small the incident should not be overreacted. You hold Li Yuanxing, step on Li Er and Li Chengqian, that's good, Li Er is waiting to see, who will laugh zuihou.
Li Er only gave one order in the matter of Li Yuanxing's wedding, to transfer the elite guards, and to have a first-class honor guard when King Qin got married.
At the beginning, Li Er gave a holy decree to marry, and he didn't expect all the seven great families to agree. As long as one family agrees, the other six families will save face for their concubines, and it can be regarded as giving Li Yuanxing a home in Datang.
The seven families are all concubines, so Li Er didn't expect it.
Li Yuanxing entered Chang'an, walked for nearly three hours on a fifty-mile road, Li Yuanxing felt that his whole body was stiff, and Wu Cao wanted Li Yuanxing to knock himself unconscious and save himself from suffering.
Li Er personally greeted him!
For outsiders, this is Li Er's attitude towards Li Yuanxing, and this is the kindness of the Tang Emperor to the Qin King of the Tang Dynasty. In fact, Li Er came to see the excitement, because the people below reported that the King of Qin of the Tang Dynasty was sitting in a precarious position, and his sitting posture did not change from the time he left Qin Wangzhuang until he entered Chang'an City.
Is Li Yuanxing's kung fu good?
Li Er didn't believe it, he came to see the jokes, to see if Li Er would have back pain, leg numbness, and neck cramps.
"Brother Huang!" It was difficult for Li Yuanxing to get up. Wu Cao cried out, it was too miserable, it was too miserable. This is simply a sentence, out of Qinwangzhuang, walking through the Chamber of Commerce District that Wu Cao was still very excited, but in less than half an hour, she felt soreness all over her body, especially Wu Cao's body was only three years old.
Li Yuanxing is better, but his whole body is stiff! (To be continued......)
