Chapter 199: Big Wedding? Knocked unconscious? (Above)
On the fifth night of the fifth month of May in the sixteenth year of Zhenguan, a sudden assassination of the King of Jin broke out, although the King of Jin himself was unscathed, however, the guards of the Wangfu were killed and wounded, twenty-three were killed, thirty-seven were injured, none of the gangsters were arrested, and no useful clues were found at the scene, the emperor was furious, and the next day he issued three edicts, with a time limit of three days, strictly ordered the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department to solve this major case, and at the same time ordered the troops of the Southern Ya to carry out the curfew task, and the whole city was searched, and the rumors about the princes who were dissatisfied with the King of Jin entering the East Palace and assassinating spread throughout Beijing, For a while, the people were panicked, and the government and the opposition were shaken.
On the sixth and seventh days of the first month of May, the atmosphere of the Beijing division was very tense, and the criminal department, Jingzhao Mansion, and Nanya armies took turns to go into battle, scouting and riding out in all directions, stirring up the good and decent Beijing Division, and for this reason, they were implicated and inexplicably arrested in the prison cell. Those assassins are like evaporating from the world, disappearing without a trace, in this way, but it can be bitter for those specific errand officials, for which there are not a few people who have been hit by the board, every day after the day, there are officials who have been beaten to cry and call their mothers because they have not found anything, and it can be regarded as a kind of retribution for these guys to beat the prisoners on weekdays, only to cheapen those who are happy to watch the officials on the board, it is considered to be a free to watch a big show.
In Li Zhen's opinion, this is a fake show, and it would be strange if he could catch the real murderer, although he had already expected that the old man would use the topic to play and hit the princes' boards, but Li Zhen was helpless, and he was not happy in his heart, but he was busy with the ministry and was busy, but he strictly controlled the evacuation of the 'Yan Ji Factory' in private. Yan Ji firm's transfer of assets, but those are all secretly acted, at least on the surface Li Zhen everything is not much different from usual, even if the eighth day of May is Li Zhen's wedding, Li Zhen has not asked for leave to make some relevant preparations, and the relevant matters in the house are only arranged by the housekeeper Liu Dequan and the palace chief Shi Li Qianhe, Li Zhen did not even ask, but on the eighth day of the new year, he stopped working, and early in the morning, he was accompanied by the officials sent by the Ministry of Rites into the palace, waiting for the old man's face.
Marriage is a major event in life, even if it is an ordinary family's wedding, it is very grand, not to mention that although Li Zhen is not a son-in-law, but he is the prince with the most outstanding military achievements, this marriage naturally has to be done vigorously, no, a few days ago, the officials of the Ministry of Rites have already cooperated with the Ministry of Internal Service to dress up the Wude Hall that is ready to be used to host the wedding. As soon as he was embraced into the Wude Palace, he was immediately surrounded by a group of eunuchs, bathing, changing clothes, and after finishing, he had to put on makeup, put on a big red wedding robe, and he had to wear a gold-filled hat that seemed to Li Zhen to be like a clown, and finally waited until it stopped, but he was surrounded and rushed to the outside of the Manna Palace, waiting for the call of the old man, from time to time, I put a puff on Li Zhen's face to touch up her makeup, but Li Zhen was depressed, and I was worried about how heavy the board was that was about to fall on my **, so how could I really be happy.
Wait, wait, wait from three o'clock to almost the hour, the sun has risen high, the old man in the manna hall has finally called in, Li Zhen's patience has long been worn out, but you can't let the old man wait for a long time, right? No, as soon as he heard that Liu Changhe had finished announcing the old man's message, Li Zhen hurriedly gave Liu Changhe a red envelope, and hurried into the Manna Palace.
Although it is not the first time for Li Shimin to preside over his son's wedding, he is still very happy today, and the smile on his face is extraordinarily loving. β
My mother, you have to knock when you come back, alas, you are really old, you have nothing to do with marrying so many wives, isn't this a toss? Li Zhen finally just got up, as soon as he heard this, he almost fell to the ground, but this is the rule, and Li Zhen can't help but not obey it, so he had no choice but to grin and nod to himself, and hurriedly withdrew from the Ganlu Palace, surrounded by a group of officials and eunuchs of the Ministry of Rites, rode on a tall horse, and led a mighty army composed of drummers played by the Yulin Army and the palace band, carrying a sedan chair, and went straight to the post station outside the city to pick up the bride. It attracted countless onlookers of good deeds, and the entire wide East Street was blocked.
Pick up the bride, just say this sentence, very simple, but it's not like that, not to mention the so-called brazier, turn the fire ring and other customs, just the royal red tape is so much that there is no edge, and it is to declare the holy decree, and to thank the holy grace, but also to receive the holy reward, kneel farewell to Lord Taishan, oh, plus to bribe the brother-in-law to enter the door, after a good pass, I finally saw the bride who had already been sent in the palace, after the old emperor took out the preaching, Finally stepped into the door of the bridal room, Li Zhen saw the bride who was already wearing red makeup and wearing a shawl on her head, but before Li Zhen could say anything, the bride with a broken mouth next to her roared and urged Li Zhen to step forward and carry the bride.
His wife carried it by herself, there was nothing to say, Li Zhen was sweating profusely and didn't have time to wipe it, and a little hurriedly helped the silent Pei Yan on her shoulders, and supported Pei Yan's buttocks with both hands, and suddenly felt that her hands were soft, and she was so amazing that she was so elastic that she almost fell to the ground, turning the circle of fire, it was not easy to put Pei Yan on the sedan chair, but the matter is still not over - there is such a drama as crying, no, several of Pei Datong's concubines temporarily served as the housewife, all crowded in front of the sedan chair, accompanied Pei Yan to cry to death, and at the end of the day, after the bride was persuaded according to the procedure, Li Zhen sent a big red envelope, which was a farewell gift, this can be regarded as being able to get up in the sedan chair, good guy, just such a program to pick up the bride was stunned from one moment to three o'clock in the afternoon, a whole hour of torment, Poor Li Zhen stopped laughing, but the strength to open her mouth was almost gone.
The bride received it, and it was said that she should be able to go home, yes, not yet, this royal wedding is a rare joy in Beijing, and you have to be happy with the people, right? So, a large group of people and horses just played the trick of the street parade, stunned in the street of the Manjing Division, the drum music is lively and lively, a group of people and horses have received a lot of rewards from the Yue Wangfu, since everyone is working hard, the gongs and drums beat twice as loudly, it is unlucky Li Zhen alone - a thick wedding robe in the hot day under the sun, that kind of taste can make people's scalp tingle just thinking about it, no, the unlucky Li Zhen's wedding robe is already wet enough to wring out the water, There is nowhere to hide, and he can't even show the slightest displeasure, and the crookedness in his heart can be imagined.
Finally, when the sun was about to set, the procession finally turned back to the palace, and when she saw the tall palace walls of the imperial city again, Li Zhen felt a sense of cordiality for no reason - the difficult journey was finally over! However, the big red wedding robe on Li Zhen's body was dry and wet because it was wet, dry and wet, and it was already like a grass on a salt-alkali flat, with circles of salt stains everywhere, and with the big flower face that was washed up by sweat due to makeup, without makeup, he could directly play a clown on the stage.
Well, I finally got my wife back, so hurry up and visit the church, right? No, after the little eunuchs waited together and hurriedly changed their clothes and bathed, a group of newcomers stepped on the sound of drums and walked into the wedding hall on time, and stood on the wedding hall under the command of the officials of the Ministry of Rites.
"Worship heaven and earth."
"Two worship the high hall."
"Husband and wife worship each other."
"Send to the cave!"
Sent to the cave room? Ha, it is the bride who is sent into the cave room, as for Li Zhen, the groom official, the real test has just begun, if you want to see your own bride, but five passes and six generals, there is no door - not only the princes have arrived, but the princes of the clan in Beijing have not been put down, and then counting the important ministers of the court who came to congratulate with those foreign vassal states, heh, the huge Chengtianmen Square is full of nearly 200 large tables, Li Zhen, the groom official, wants to go back to the cave room, if he doesn't drink enough, it is impossible to leave.
Luxury, luxury, damn it, it has to be so troublesome to get a wife, dizzy! Li Zhen stood on the tower of Chengtianmen and looked at the crowd of people below, and her heart beat a drum, and her eyes were full of tragedy - the tragedy of sacrificing for love is magnificent, and her feelings are untouchable!
"Father, mother, today is a good day for the sons, the sons can have today, it is all the work of the father and the mother and the concubines who are comfortably cultivated, the sons and daughters will remember it in their hearts and never forget, I would like to express the gratitude of the sons and daughters with a bottle of water and wine." According to the custom of the royal wedding banquet, after the official of the ceremonial department who acted as the master of ceremonies made a congratulatory speech like a city clichΓ©, it was the turn of Li Zhen, the groom, to come forward to thank his parents for their nurturing grace.
"Good, haha, good!" Li Shimin's interest today was very high, he laughed and stood up, holding the wine bottle in one hand and the long beard on his chest with the other, first looked at Li Zhen lovingly, and then strode to the city gate, looked at the ministers below, and said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, today is a good day for my eighth son Li Zhen**, I am very happy, come, all Aiqing and I drink a bottle together, and today is not drunk and homeless!" β
As soon as the old man's Chrysostom opened, he was the one who responded to the scene, a large crowd of people cheered and thundered, the voice of gratitude resounded in the sky, everyone raised a glass and drank freely, a festive scene, the tense situation in the past few days seemed to disappear without a trace, the wine was drunk, the song and dance, everyone was intoxicated in the festive atmosphere, and they were all very happy, only Li Zhen did not dare to open his arms to drink, without him, after a while, it was his turn to go down to toast, this time do not make a little draft, leave a little wine, There must not be even a bone left, Li Zhen doesn't want her wedding night to be spent drunk, no matter how you say that this wedding is only once in a lifetime, if it really becomes a big faint, it will be boring, isn't it?
As soon as the wine was drunk, time flew by, and in a blink of an eye, after the two-fold singing and dancing, the wine had been drunk for three rounds, and it was time for Li Zhen, the groom, to show his face. β
The test begins! As soon as he heard the old man's words, Li Zhen's heart suddenly sank, and he hurriedly stood up from behind a few sons, bowed respectfully and said, "Erchen respects the order." β
Li Shimin stretched out his hand and stroked the long beard on his chest, nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand lightly and said, "Well, okay, let's go!" β
This toast also has knowledge, you have to follow the order, which can not be chaotic, but well, with the company of the Ministry of Rites, Li Zhen will not be out of proportion, the first thing to pay tribute to is those old princes, some of these people are Li Shimin's own brothers, some are cousins, most of them were notified by the Ministry of Rites a few months ago, and they came from the fiefdom, did not embarrass Li Zhen, the meaning is not forgotten, let Li Zhen easily pass a level, but when Li Zhen got down from the city gate tower and arrived at the first table where the brothers were together, the trouble began.
Although a group of princes had already killed their eyes in private, they were all "Sven people" in front of them, and they had been waiting for Li Zhen to show up. β
No way! These wolf cubs! You're big! Li Zhen saw that the brothers were all "not good-looking", and immediately felt weak, but there was no hiding place, so she had no choice but to drag her feet and walk slowly, but she never thought that Li Ke and Li Tai were not satisfied, so she rushed over coaly, grabbed Li Zhen's hand and dragged her to the banquet, but the movements in her hands were one thing, but the words in her mouth were another-but seeing Li Tai's fat body horizontally, he squeezed the officials of the Ministry of Rites who tried to come over to relieve the siege to the side, and Li Ke was close to Li Zhen's ear, whispered: "Eighth brother, that case was made up by Lao Jiu himself, eighth brother be careful, and talk about it in detail when he returns home tomorrow!" Li Ke's voice was low and fast, coupled with Li Tai's loud and noisy cover, except for Li Zhen, others couldn't hear what Li Ke was talking about.
Hehe, dare to love the third and fourth guys, and they have also come back to their senses? Ha, it seems that these two boys must have reached some kind of agreement in private, but it's a pity, it's late, to this point, the general trend has been controlled by the old man, and you two boys can't turn the sky over no matter how neat they are! As soon as Li Zhen saw the tacit cooperation of Li Ke and Li Tai brothers, she already knew what they were going to talk about with her, but Li Zhen understood better that it was in vain to do anything now, how could she be stupid enough to be blind with these two brothers, but well, Li Zhen didn't want to be a villain, so she nodded with a smile under the pretense of the chaotic scene between the pulls, but she didn't speak.
Seeing that Li Zhen did not refuse his proposal, Li Ke's eyes flashed with a glimmer of light, and he laughed and put Li Zhen on the banquet with Li Tai, and the two brothers forced the wine one by one, and forced Li Zhen to drink six bottles in a row, so that Li Zhen could be regarded as letting Li Zhen go, the two brothers had just stopped, but the sixth came out again, and he didn't say much, he first drank three bottles in a row, and then lit the bottom of the bottle, looking at Li Zhen with a smile.
Oh my God, this guy can really take advantage of the fire to rob! Looking at the smile on the face of the sixth child, Li Zhen had no choice but to drink three bottles in a row, and these nine bottles in a row were swallowed.
"Starling, although the little brother is shallow, on this starling's happy day, I don't want to do my best, and I have to respect the starling." As soon as the sixth child sat down, the ninth Li Zhi jumped out again, and his little face was full of excitement.
Heh, this kid is proud now, damn, just such a waste can do any good thing, this dog's life is really fucking good! Li Zhen didn't look down on Li Zhi very much when he was small, but well, it's still good for this guy, what do you want, I've never treated him badly, if it weren't for the estrangement of the heir, the brotherly relationship between each other is actually very passable, at this time, seeing Li Zhi's smug face, Li Zhen couldn't help but feel a little sour in her heart, fortunately, first, the city is deep, and secondly, her face is already red because of wine, but she will not show a very bad expression on her face, haha smiled: "Okay, since it is a pheasant slave's toast, my brother can drink it." As soon as he finished speaking, he took the bottle full of wine from the hand of the official of the Ministry of Rites and drank it all.
As soon as Li Zhi sat down, Li Shen, the youngest brother who can be on the table at the moment, stood up again, this guy has been timid since he was a child, but he is a lively boy, at this time he has just reached the age of being able to drink on the table, he has just poured a few bottles before, and he is already drunk at this time, he is holding the wine bottle with a smile, and he came to Li Zhen's side unsteadily, and he insisted on having a drink with Li Zhen, and Li Zhen was angry and funny, but he didn't wipe his face, and drank a bottle on the spot, but he never thought that Li Shen was very shallow, Before he could finish his stomach, the whole person slipped under the table, and immediately made the brothers at the table laugh out loud.
The wine still has to be drunk, but since the brothers' difficulties, the next courtiers are much easier to deal with, except for being caught by Cheng Zhijie and other old generals and drinking a few more bottles, the rest of the tables are ordered to stop, but even so, when Li Zhen saluted down a round of wine, people are already a little fluttering, although the pace is still steady, but the drunkenness is already obvious, fortunately, the ** of the wine banquet has passed, and I watched the two-fold song and dance on the city gate tower, and it is time for Li Zhen to leave, this is notAs soon as he got the permission of the old man, Li Zhen didn't want to delay for even a minute, and hurriedly thanked him, so he rushed to the Wude Hall under the service of the little eunuch of the group......
The protagonist of the wedding banquet is gone, the wedding banquet is almost over, the monarchs and ministers have drunk a few more rounds, since everyone is happy, it is time to end the time, although a group of princes have their own thoughts, but on such occasions they are also full of brotherly affection, drink heartily, as soon as the master of ceremonies announced the end of the wedding banquet, the brothers also got up and planned to go back to their homes, but they never thought that before the princes left the wine table, the old man sent Liu Donghe to pass the message - it was too late, the princes did not have to go back to the house, Just rest in the palace, as soon as this will came out, the faces of the princes present immediately changed, and they wanted to ask the truth again, but they saw that a group of palace guards had appeared nearby at some point, and faintly surrounded all the princes in the center, and something seemed to be wrong......
