Chapter 674: The Prince's Marriage, the General's Walk!

This day, according to the calendar of Yan Kingdom, is August 26 of the ninth year of Pingguang of Yan Calendar, and according to the calendar of Qingguo, it is August 26 of the thirteenth year of Chongren of Qingli

As soon as the sky dawned, the Qing Palace had already sent a large number of palace maids and eunuchs to wait outside the royal courtyard, and the Imperial Forest Army was waiting for it under the personal leadership of Han Mo just in case

According to the ceremonial procedure, as soon as the time passes, the princess will go to the Qitianguan, the place of worship, surrounded by the honor guard and the escort, and at that time, the prince and officials of Qingguo will gather at the Qitianguan, and the ceremony of worshipping the sky will begin

The ceremony is naturally a long process, but before noon, the ceremony will end, and then the prince will guard the princess's wedding car, enter the palace to meet the emperor and queen, and the emperor canonizes the princess as the crown princess of Qingguo, and the emperor and queen will reward a large number of property

After these ceremonies, the princess will be welcomed into the East Palace, and a series of ceremonies will be carried out, in general, this big mess, the officials in charge of the marriage are certainly tired and dark, even the parties Prince Qing and Princess Yan will also be exhausted

As for Han Mo, he had to lead nearly a hundred elite Yan Kingdom warriors, and before the princess entered the palace, he had to guard him throughout the whole process

The royal palace is brilliantly lit, and the officials of the ceremonial department of Qingguo are the uncle of the country, and a large number of officials from Taichang Temple and Honglu Temple have gathered in the royal palace

The officials of the Ministry of Rites of Yan State naturally accompanied the greetings, and Changde Hou Cao Yin accompanied the uncle to speak

It was lively and lively, and when it was time, the guard of honor sent by Qingguo outside the gate of the royal palace took the lead in sounding the sound of gongs and drums, the gong and drum team, the colored flag team, the canopy team, and the ceremonial band, all of which were brightly dressed, showing the style of the dignified Qingguo

Song Shiqing made the honor guard of Yan also make a momentum, although the number of people was not as good as that of Qingguo, but in a foreign country, he could not lose the battle

It didn't take long for Zi'er, surrounded by a group of palace maids, to finally come out in a dress

Cyanosis, deep collar and wide sleeves, although the body is slightly insufficient, but the more delicate and petite, when walking, it is a gentle movement, revealing full royal majesty

The officials present all knelt down and saluted

Stepping on the long red carpet, with the support and traction of the palace maids, and under the visit of countless officials, this pseudo-princess walked out of the royal palace with more temperament than the real princess, and boarded the luxurious chariot under the escort of the Yan warriors led by Han Mo

It was just dawn, but the team was already on its way

The capital is too huge, and the royal palace is not too close to the road to Qitianguan, so it must be rushed to Qitianguan before the hour

In the sound of ritual music, the convoy slowly moved forward, like a long dragon, spread on the big street of Shangjing, and the beautiful and beautiful sound of ritual music also broke the silence of the early morning

On the road leading from the Imperial Palace to Qitianguan, at intervals along the way, there will be elite samurai guards from the Shangjing Garrison Battalion, with bright armor and frosty energy

The houses along the way have long been hung with red silk, revealing joy

The people of Shangjing have long known that today is the prince's wedding, and many people have gotten up early and gathered on the side of the road to wait to see the vast convoy

Although few dignitaries and nobles in the capital are allowed to marry, naturally no one dares to compare with the royal specifications, and the royal marriage is the real state marriage, which is grand and extraordinary

Although the officers and soldiers of the Shangjing garrison battalion were ready to fight, Han Mo's Imperial Forest Army was also holding the handle of the sword and was ready to deal with any accident at any time

Han Mo rode on the horse, his expression indifferent

Although it is a grand marriage, for Han Mo, this kind of political marriage really has no reason to be happy

Riding a horse and following the chariot, Han Mo thought of the little princess Shuang'er, who had escaped from the sea of suffering, and designed to let her get out halfway through the send-off, and there was no news of the little girl after that, and I don't know where she is now

It's just that since this matter was carefully planned by Princess Xiu, all the procedures must be very proper, and there is no need to worry about Xiao Shuang'er

It's just that when I said goodbye that day, I don't know if I can see each other again in this life?

……

The Heaven Worship Dojo in the Monkey Sky Temple, at this time, has been guarded by elite soldiers, to put it exaggeratedly, it is indeed difficult for even flies to fly in, Shang Zhongli, the holy general of Shangjing, was dressed in military uniform, and suddenly appeared, and the general envoy of the Shangjing Garrison Battalion Yun Canglan was also personally responsible for the security of the Monkey Temple

Many generals of the military are concentrated here, compared to the princess convoy who came to Qitianguan, at this time, Qitianguan is very quiet

In the middle of the venue that had been arranged, there was a young man in a bright yellow dress and a golden crown sitting quietly, his appearance was very ordinary, if he was not wearing a luxurious dress, he belonged to a character that no one would notice in the crowd

But this person's identity is really not ordinary

This is one of the protagonists of today's wedding, the dignified Prince Qingguo

His lips are very thin, his eyebrows are very light, and his body looks a little thin, which is really thin compared to Shang Zhongli and a group of other military generals next to him

Although Prince Qing tried his best to be calm, he seemed a little nervous, and his two hands were a little restrained and uneasy, clasped together for a while, and then placed on the chair handle

Shang Zhongli saw it from the side, but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes

The strength of a country is closely related to the talent of the king of a country

Today, as we all know, is a generation of faint kings, reigning for thirteen years, except for the first two years and making a gesture of going to do a lot of work, he fell into a more than ten years of wine-colored career

At the beginning, Qingguo Wen had an old prime minister, Wu had Shang Zhongli, with these two people, Qingguo court also had a lot of capable ministers, the entire Qingguo was also peaceful and prosperous, and the emperor was also happy to be at ease

At that time, the crown prince set up by the emperor was also smart and wise, and he was able to write and martial arts, as the future king, Qingguo had such a prince, which was really a great blessing

If everything goes well, Qingguo will not be able to maintain the status of the first power in the Central Plains, and under the rule of hard work, it is very likely to complete the hegemony of unifying the Central Plains

However, the fire in Yuhan Palace changed the originally extremely beautiful prospects of Qingguo

of the Queen, the Crown Prince......

The former crown prince was buried in the fire, and among the heirs of Emperor Chongren, only the second and third princes born to the queen were eligible to inherit the crown prince

The second prince is the same as today's saint, he is a drunken man, he does not learn and has no skills, and he is ruthless, and if he is a little uncomfortable, he will abuse his subordinates, and even take people's lives without scruples

In the dispute between the princes, the initial forces around the second prince obviously wanted to strengthen the three princes, and the three princes were cowardly and easily frightened, so many people thought that the prince would be in the bag of the second prince

Who knew that at the last moment, Shang Zhongli and the old prime minister actually went up together and recommended the three princes as the crown prince, and Concubine Lu, who had just been made the queen in the palace, even when Emperor Chongren asked, also agreed to make the three princes the crown prince

This battle for the crown prince was unexpectedly won by the three princes who did not have any strength

After the third prince was made the crown prince, the second prince was sealed to Beidi County in the extreme north of Qingguo half a year later, called the fief, which was actually expelled from the capital to avoid another turmoil

Although there is Shang Zhongli behind the prince, this prince is indecisive and weak, and when he encounters a little something, he is nervous and nervous, which makes the courtiers who are worried about the future of Qingguo always have a gloom in their hearts

Today's world is not a peaceful world, not to mention that there are frequent hidden dangers in the country, only to say that the Wei State and the Yan State on both sides of the ring are all grinning teeth, and do not hide the heart of the Central Plains

Such a cowardly prince, if he really ascends to the throne in the future, when the courtiers he relies on, such as Shang Zhongli, and other ministers of the town and the country, pass away, will he be able to let the Qingguo continue to exist in the Central Plains?

Shang Zhongli glanced at the crown prince, retracted his gaze, and only sighed in his heart

At present, he no longer has the energy to think about what will happen in ten or twenty years, and now what he has to deal with is a catastrophe for Qingguo's life and death

Before the hour, the princess's convoy arrived at the Qitian Temple, and the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in the Qitian Temple began

The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was cumbersome and grand, and Han Mo only led ten warriors into the Taoist temple

The ceremony lasted until noon, and everyone was a little tired, and when the ceremony was over, the prince and the princess took a chariot and went to the Qing Palace

After entering the palace, Prince Qing pulled Princess Yan into the Chengtian Hall with red silk, and Emperor Qing and Queen Qing were already waiting in the majestic Jinluan Palace

Next, it is necessary to perform the ceremony of canonization on the Chengtian Temple

Prince Qing and Princess Yan knelt down in the court, the old prime minister personally held the emperor's canonization edict to read, "The concubine and the prince are together, worship heaven and earth, only Chengzong Temple is covered with Ned, Changqiu Palace, East Palace is vacant, now there is Princess Yan Frost, Bing Shuyuan's Yi, the body of the river and the mountain, the Wei Rong Zhaoyao Liao consulted and said that it is appropriate to be a yarrow turtle, the hexagram has to be done to have a division, it is appropriate to call the Silk Group, to Lin Zhaomin, after being the princess, it will go to the position of Jian'er, respect the sect and ceremonies, and give it cautiously, without a substitute for my life, and forever Tianlu"

Han Mo is also above the court, he didn't sleep all night last night, and today he is tense and nervous, but he is quite tired

Thinking of last night's incident, I couldn't help but look at the queen on the high seat, only to see that Qinghou was wearing a gold dress at this time, extremely noble, dignified and arrogant, and had an inviolable posture

Looking at her appearance at this time, it is really difficult to associate her with the amorous woman who was in love last night

Han Mo couldn't understand these cumbersome etiquette, just waited quietly, and didn't know how long it took, Prince Qing and the princess finally thanked the palace and left the palace, this time it was surrounded by countless palace maids and eunuchs, the prince led Princess Yan to board the luxurious float, countless palace maids carried flower baskets, followed by the chariot, the luxurious red carpet was actually spread from the Chengtian Hall to the East Palace, the floats went along the carpet to the East Palace, and the palace maids threw flower petals into the air along the way, and the air was filled with a faint fragrance, and the sound of gongs and drums was loud and noisy, the whole Qing Palace, solemn but full of liveliness

The crown prince and the princess went to the East Palace, except for the palace maids and eunuchs who accompanied the marriage, but the warriors of the Yan Kingdom could no longer follow and could only withdraw from the Qing Palace

In the Qing Palace, a grand banquet was held, and all the officials were happy, and the officials of the Yan Kingdom naturally wanted to participate

This wedding feast was only held late at night

After the banquet was dispersed, the ministers did not disperse, because everyone knew that after the banquet, Shang Zhongli, the holy general of Shangjing, was going out of the city to join his 2,000 personal guards and rush to the front line to defend against the enemy

This time, Emperor Qing, who was in a mess in the past, actually took advantage of Long Yuan to lead hundreds of officials to go out of the city late at night to bid farewell to Shang Zhongli

Emperor Qing ordered Shang Zhongli to go with him, and when he went out of the city, Shang Zhongli's two thousand guards were already waiting quietly outside the city, silent, and seemed to be extremely well-trained

Emperor Qing took Shang Zhongli's hand, got off the dragon chariot, and did not immediately let go of Shang Zhongli's hand, the eyes that were a little loose because of the excessive color of the wine looked at Shang Zhongli

"Shengshang, take care of the dragon body, and ask Shengshang to go back to the palace to rest early" Shang Zhongli felt that Emperor Qing was holding his hand tightly, and an indescribable feeling rose in his heart

Emperor Qing raised his head, looked at the moon in the sky, and finally said: "The bright moon will show the way for the holy general, and the holy general will show me the way...... I can't be an emperor, but the holy general is a famous general through the ages."

Shang Zhongli didn't expect Emperor Qing to say such a thing, so he hurriedly knelt down: "Holy ......" For some reason, his voice was a little choked

Emperor Qing picked up Shang Zhongli with all his strength, stared at Shang Zhongli, and after a long time, he said softly: "Holy General, I am waiting for you to come back"

Shang Zhongli hugged his fists and bowed, "Shengshang, the ministers should destroy the Wei army's iron cavalry, and return triumphantly, in order to repay the saint and serve my Daqing" He took a few steps back, his hands were still clenched into fists, and he said in a loud voice: "Everyone, Shang Zhongli said goodbye"

The ministers of Qingguo all clenched their fists and said in unison: "The holy general will go well"

Everyone looked at the white-haired Shang Zhongli from the hands of the guards around him and took the helmet and put it on his head, the helmet covered the white, the veteran looked extremely powerful, and his body was full of domineering in his bones, he turned over on the horse, glanced at Emperor Qing again, hugged his fist on the horse, and said no more, flicked the horsewhip, the horse suddenly galloped away, two thousand elite guards, followed behind the veteran, the sound of horses' hooves sounded, just a moment, the figure of the cavalry, disappeared in the vast night
