Zhang Wuzhu set off for Jiangnan that night. Zhang Wuzhu set off lightly, only bringing less than a hundred guards, and he would also replenish locally along the way.

On the night of the 26th, Liu Yu personally sent Zhang Wuzhu out of the city, and when he returned to the palace, it was already half past the night. Liu Yu was always thinking about who attacked Su Yan's convoy and Huo Ill's department in what way, and only now did he feel a little more understood, and the people around him suddenly went to Hua Ji'an, Huo Ill and Zhang Wuzhu, which seemed to be gradually eating away at the strength around him.

Liu Yuxin said that he had to guard against it.

On the 28th day of the second month of the leap month, it was the day when Liu Yu's sister Liu Jue got married, because it was the marriage of the Son of Heaven, and it was convenient to enter the palace early in the morning to worship and thank you. Liu Yu also participated in the wedding banquet that day, when Qi Fang entered the palace, Liu Yu chatted with Qi Fang for a few words, in fact, Liu Yu was also asking if there were any unusual actions in the army, Qi Fang answered one by one, Liu Yu pondered for a while, and everything was still calm.

Originally, the wedding banquet was given by the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven could decide whether to go or not. Qi'er really wants to go, for Qi'er, it's great to be able to join in the fun, but Luan's departure from the palace ceremony is cumbersome, and Liu Yu still doesn't need to take risks, so Liu Yu can only harden his heart under Qi'er's soft words. In the afternoon of the same day, Liu Yu just went out of the palace with Xu Xuanzhu to attend the wedding banquet.

The wedding banquet started during the day, but the wedding had to wait until after sunset, and Liu Yu could see that Qi Fang was also very nervous. The marriage between Qi Fang and Liu Jue was full of twists and turns, and the wedding date had already been set, but because the war was repeatedly delayed, Liu Yu is still quite relieved that he has a lover who has finally become a dependent.

The welcoming team set off from the Dingguo Hou Mansion, and when the wedding car arrived at the door of the Hou Annei Mansion, Liu Yu finally saw his family. Liu Yu's eldest brother Liu He came to see off his relatives as a representative of the Liu family. In addition, there are several children of the Liu family. The relationship with Liu Yu is very ordinary. Liu Yu stepped forward and asked Liu He before he realized. Liu Zhao took care of his face, and said that he would not come to the wedding banquet today.

"Father is such a person, don't be surprised by the twelfth brother."

Liu Yu smiled and didn't say anything. According to his understanding of Liu Zhao, he was a person who wanted to die to save face and suffer crimes, and it was Liu Zhao who wanted to break up Qi Fang and Liu Jue, and he was stunned to marry Liu Jue into the Cao family, but Liu Yu's brother-in-law was a short-lived ghost. It is equivalent to Liu Zhao marrying his daughter as a widow, if Qi Fang didn't dislike it, Liu Jue would have to live as an orphan and widow in this life. Liu Jue is only twenty-six years old, and you can imagine how difficult it will be in the future.

Liu Zhao looked at Qi Fang, which was the biggest reason why he didn't want to come, this junior who was despised by Liu Zhao and didn't understand the rules, jumped from a captain of a reserve battalion to a general in just two years, and the king of Pinghuai Ding Turkic Jin was named a first-class Marquis of Annei. And he, Liu Zhao, was only a third-class marquis of Dingguo, if it weren't for the new son of heaven who ascended the throne. He will not be promoted to the first class.

In Liu Yu's words, Liu Zhao still can't untie the knot of the psychological gap.

Liu Zhao didn't come. It is already very face-saving to let the children of the Liu family attend. Liu Yu didn't force it. If today's wedding banquet, the Liu family only comes to Liu Yu, then it is called rude, and now Liu Zhao does not come It has nothing to do with the overall situation, after all, Qi Fang and Liu Jue are the protagonists today.

Qi Fang and Liu Jue were just about to enter the courtyard, Sui Yi was late with Sui Lan's family, Li Mi greeted him, and Qi Fang was also going to greet him, after all, they were brothers who had gone through hardships together from the end of the world, but Liu Yu waved his hand to signal not to let outsiders interfere with the marriage, and asked Qi Fang to send Liu Jue into the cave room first, don't delay the hour.

"Is the errand of the Ministry of Rites good?"

They all came with their families, Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Lan's family exchanged a few polite words and greeted each other, when waiting for marriage, it is easy for men and women to get together. And Liu Yu also entered the main courtyard with Li Mi and Sui Yi, and Liu Yu casually asked Sui Yi about his recent work.

"Busy, busy. It's etiquette all day long, and it's too much of a headache to learn those. ”

A businessman who doesn't have much knowledge is actually in charge of an errand like the Ministry of Rites that only a great Confucian can do, and Sui Yi is still in the learning stage. Liu Yu didn't expect him to ascend to the sky in one step, as long as he studied carefully, don't be ashamed.

Liu Yu asked again: "Have you already arranged it for the birthday of the Son of God?" ”

Sui Yi smiled evilly and said: "Of course, the decision is grand but not extravagant, lively but not luxurious." Brother Liu, take a good look at it. ”

Liu Yu looked at Sui Yi, whose toes were upturned. Sui Yi was looked at by Liu Yu with this kind of questioning gaze, and said with a smile on his face: "Brother Liu, don't forget what I do, I have the best set of arrangements for these things." If you don't believe it, look at the wedding banquet in the Marquis of Annei today, which is also arranged by our Ministry of Rites, and I am responsible for it. ”

Liu Yu nodded, with a look of "look at how you behave" on his face. In fact, although Qi Fang is already the general of Annehou, he has no power in Chang'an City after all, and the Qi family is thin, so it is not easy to arrange such a grand wedding banquet.

Liu Yu said: "The more lively the place, the more dangerous it is, you still have to be careful of today's precautions, don't be a person who has no return." ”

Sui Yi was puzzled and asked, "What does Brother Liu mean?" ”

Li Mi said: "It has nothing to do with you, stay on the side." Show off your talents today. ”

Liu Yu's previous words were actually said to Li Mi, today Li Mi's city defense department yamen is responsible for the security of the periphery of the Hou Mansion of Annei, there was a terrorist attack when Liu Yu and Qi'er got married before, coupled with the failed terrorist attack of the chaotic party on the Shangyuan Festival, Liu Yu is afraid that something will happen to Qi Fang's wedding banquet today. After all, the chaotic party is aimed at the imperial court, and if there is an accident at such a large-scale wedding banquet, the impact on the imperial court is still great, which is very in line with the interests of the chaotic party.

In the courtyard, most of the people who came to congratulate had already arrived, and many of them had already finished their meals and left the house.

Among the people who came today, there were few relatives of the two families, and there were few civil officials, after all, there was an unwritten rule that civil officials and military generals did not interact with each other in the Dashun Dynasty. Today, few civil officials dare to show off, after all, the central government also knows that Liu Yu will come, and it is not good to be caught by Liu Yu. Among the people who came, the largest part were military generals, mostly Qi Fang's descendants, but because the military department was on rotation, not all the generals who wanted to come could come.

These generals are five big and three thick, and when they see the wine jar, they are like seeing their daughter-in-law, and they don't let go of their hands, and they have experienced the flowing water from noon to dusk, and the courtyard is filled with a strong smell of wine, Xu Xuanzhu has some signs of nausea in his body when he is pregnant, and even Sui Lan, who is not pregnant, can not stand the noisy and alcoholic atmosphere around him.

"Madam, let's go to the back hall first, and pay a visit to the old lady." Liu Yu said to Xu Xuan.

Xu Xuanzhu smiled and nodded, Lu Chu'er originally wanted to find a seat to sit down and drink some wine, but when Liu Yu stared at her, she immediately followed Xu Xuanzhu and Sui Lan's footsteps to the back hall. Because Qi Fang's mother was frail and sickly, and today's chaotic scene outside was not suitable for her and an old woman to come out to participate, so the wedding banquet also prepared a small banquet in the back hall.

When Liu Yu arrived at the main hall, several generals rose to greet him, and Liu Yu waved his hand to let them continue the banquet. At this time, Qi Fang sent the bride into the cave room, and he could have drunk the wine to spend the night of his cave room, but because his brothers were particularly fond of making trouble, Qi Fang had to be pulled out to continue drinking after sending Liu Jue into the room.

Sui Yi said: "These people are too ignorant, how can they still cave the house if they drink like this?" ”

Liu Yu coughed dryly and said, "You don't have to worry about these things, I think Brother Qi cares more about this form." ”

With Qi Fang's current prestige, it is already very difficult for him to marry a widow with an oil bottle, he wants to find a woman, and the families in Chang'an City will line up to send all kinds of ladies to the door for him to choose, one is not satisfied, and no one will object to him marrying a few and coming back as concubines. And Qi Fang's feelings for Liu Jue are mainly a love word, this kind of love is not greedy for overnight happiness, but will accompany each other in the future.

As long as Liu Jue marries, Qi Fang's heart will be settled. Therefore, Qi Fang at this time can also be said to be high-spirited, and under the persuasion of the group of people under his hands, he also drank unscrupulously.

Liu Yu said to Li Mi: "I don't know if you have received news from the military department, there has been some unpeace over there recently, and the imperial court is unable to start a protracted war. Are you ready for the next trip south? ”

Li Mi was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood Liu Yu's intentions.

When pacifying the Turks, although Li Mi was away with the army, he did not have outstanding meritorious performance, so he was not able to be made a marquis. Now that there is such an opportunity as the Lingnan Rebellion, Liu Yu asked him to go, which was to give him the opportunity to make contributions and become a marquis.

Li Mi sighed and said, "Can I not go?" ”

Liu Yu was a little surprised, others would have grabbed such an opportunity, but Li Mi didn't seem to care.

"Why?"

"I know and intersect with Brother Liu, and I, Li Mi, can be regarded as having meritorious deeds, and whether or not I can be named a marquis and worship the prime minister is actually just a façade. My Li Mi's ability is not as good as that of the Marquis of Annei and the Marquis of Pinggu, so I still don't want to do it. ”

Liu Yu nodded, and said in his heart that it was rare for Li Mi to have such an awareness. Not everyone can see that they don't want to compete for fame and fortune.

Sui Yi on the side followed and coaxed Qi Fang with a glass of wine, and came back and said, "You don't want to go, I still want to go." ”

Li Mi smiled: "It's just you, forget it." You go and you are going to die. ”

"Cut, look down on people so much." Sui Yi was a little disdainful, but in fact, he was also a little self-aware, although Li Mi's words were ugly, but what he said was also the truth. With Sui Yi's ability, governing Jingzhao Mansion or the Ministry of Rites relies on "crooked talents", and he has no ability to govern the army.

Liu Yu didn't mention this matter again, and instead said, "Shuda, didn't you say that there are arrangements today?" Why haven't you seen a lively and non-luxurious scene? ”

"Isn't that lively enough?"

Sui Yi said a word, and also felt that it was obvious that this excitement had nothing to do with his arrangement. So Sui Yi pretended to be mysterious and said: "It's a lively scene, don't blink." ”

Liu Yu was thinking about what was going on, when he accidentally caught a glimpse of a few women in dance clothes in the side hall. And the one who took the lead was Sima Xuan'er. (To be continued......)
