Chapter 470: The Emperor Gives the Sword

Today's wedding celebration, it is a double-headed happy event, although the Han Mansion is very lively, the Fan family will not lose face, the decoration in front of the house is extremely luxurious, the ribbons are flying, and there are several lions dancing, the gong and drum team is beating more lively than the gong and drum team brought by the Han family, and there is the sound of the flute and sheng next to it, mixed together, jubilant.

Most of the officials of the Ministry of War were concentrated on the side of the Fan Mansion, while the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household were gathered on the side of the Han Mansion, and the other yamen were naturally represented by their respective factions on both sides.

These two great families can't be offended by one family.

Seeing that the mother-in-law on this side of the Han family stepped forward, and the mother-in-law on that side also came up, so the mother-in-law on both sides suddenly crowded together, and there was a noise, Han Mo faintly heard some of the meanings, that is, the mother-in-law on both sides praised the benefits of their own masters, and from time to time belittled each other to elevate their own families, these mothers-in-law are all sharp-tongued characters, they are different from "washing the mother", they are the "noisy mothers" who specialize in presiding over this procedure.

This is also a special scene in the marriage of Yan Kingdom, one is to put gold on the face of the master, and the other is to add more lively atmosphere, and the most important thing is the folk saying, when you welcome your relatives, you have a big quarrel, and when you pass the door, the husband and wife will not quarrel again, and it is also a matter of auspicious Caitou.

This kind of situation could not be stopped until the two sides took out the happy money to send each other's mothers-in-law, so when the mothers-in-law were lively for a while, the two sides stepped forward to distribute the happy money, and the noisy girls retreated.

For a while, the gongs and drums on both sides were even louder, and they could be heard ten miles away, and there was a burst of laughter.

Surrounded by everyone, before Han Mo arrived at Fan's Mansion, according to the rules, he had to stand outside the mansion and wait, and the bride inside would say goodbye to the size of the family before she came out on the red carpet.

……

Han Mo had already dismounted, and there were many officials in front of the house, all of whom came forward to say hello, Han Mo was dizzy by the rumbling sounds around him for a while, and he didn't have time to tell which people came forward to say hello, just with a smiling face, he arched his hands again and again, and the muscles on his face were a little sour because he had been smiling, but at such a moment, he could only hold on, and he understood in his heart that this big wedding was really a big chore.

Over there, Han Bin and Han Yuan both laughed when they saw Han Mo's appearance, which made Han Mo embarrassed again, and only thought in his heart: "Bodhisattva bless, welcome home quickly......!" ”

Although I don't know who congratulates me, I vaguely remember that Yin Liu Qingyuan of Yanjing Mansion, Su Yuting, the commander of the Yingxiang Battalion, and Bai Yi, the commander of the Longxiang Battalion, were also among them.

I don't know how long it took, the surrounding sounds gradually became quieter, Han Mo breathed a sigh of relief, and heard an extremely melodious flute sound coming from the mansion, Han Yin hurriedly stepped forward to rearrange Han Mo's clothes, and said in a low voice: "Fifth Young Master, the bride is coming out!" ”

After the sound of the flute, the sound of the flute, the sound of the sheng, the sound of the piano and other ceremonial music are played together, and the melodious sound is incomparably melodious.

The guests are separated on both sides, Han Yin led Han Mo to a place in front of the main entrance, with a few words in his ear, he saw a group of people slowly walking out from the depths of Fan's mansion, bright and dazzling, in front of more than ten virgins with flower baskets, separated left and right, followed by three brides in unison, one bride in the middle held red silk in her hand, the red silk extended backwards, in the middle was a big red flower, the other end was held in the hands of the bride, and two brides held the bride with a phoenix crown and a veil to move forward slowly, The tight pearl curtain hides the bride's face inside, making it difficult to see.

In the sound of ceremonial music, the bride slowly approached the door of the house under the gaze of everyone, more than ten virgins went out and lined up on both sides, waiting for the bride to come, Han Mo stepped forward to take the red silk from the bride according to Han Yin's instructions, and Han Yin ordered people to come forward to distribute rewards to the bridesmaids.

Like the stars and the moon, the bride finally appeared from the crowd, Han Mo could see clearly at this time, although there was a wide curtain to cover, but the bride's figure was extremely beautiful, the lotus step moved lightly, the head wearing the phoenix crown hung slightly, and the two hands under the wide sleeves tightly held the other end of the red silk.

It was another complicated etiquette procedure, Han Mo completed it mechanically, and finally heard the drum sound again, Han Mo dragged the bride to the sedan chair, which was to invite the bride to the sedan chair.

The bride moved her steps lightly, walked to the side of the sedan chair, but stopped her steps, turned around and glanced at the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and finally got on the sedan chair, several brides immediately divided on both sides of the sedan chair, and the virgins who carried the flower basket had already sprinkled the colorful flowers in the basket into the air.

From beginning to end, Han Mo didn't see what Miss Fan looked like.

But he already knew that Miss Fan's maiden name was Fan Xiaoqian, a very elegant name, revealing a clear and spiritual smell, and her figure was also extremely beautiful, and she must be a rare beauty.

……

The welcoming team finally returned to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and there was no need to elaborate on the excitement along the way, but Han Mo heard Han Bin come up and say: "Xiao Wu, everything has just begun, and when you return to the house, you will suffer!" At that time, he secretly complained in his heart, the etiquette routine on the woman's side was already very complicated, but compared to the man's side, it was much easier here.

Back in the house, the guests have arrived, the ceremony and music are ringing together, and it is lively again.

The bride was welcomed to the inner room to rest temporarily, and Han Mo was going to meet some of the main guests under the leadership of Han Xuanchang. Han Mo didn't sleep all night last night because of Aunt Bi's matter, and today is another toss, that is already tired, but on such a day, no matter how tired he is, some things that should be done are unavoidable.

Changde Hou Cao Yin, Xiao Taishi, Su Guanya and other princes and nobles were all present, Han Mo saw them one by one, no matter what these people thought in their hearts, but they all had a smile on their faces, saying words of congratulations.

Seeing Taishi Xiao, Han Mo immediately thought of Xiao Lingzhi, and he didn't know what that woman was doing now......

The time of worship is always coming, and the auditorium has already been set up, and by the time Han Xuanchang and his wife sat down on the main seat, the bridesmaids had already led the bride out with red silk.

Han Mo hurriedly stepped forward to take the red silk, this time it was very tight, although the bead curtain was very dense, but after all, there was a gap, so Han Mo faintly saw a pair of clear big eyes, and even saw the bride's fair skin Shengxue.

The bride also seemed to glance at Han Mo, but she quickly lowered her head, looking very unnatural.

Holding the red silk, leading the bride to the hall, the guests gathered around, Du Bingyue was also wearing men's clothes in the crowd, watching Han Mo lead the bride to the church, her face was a little unnatural.

The process of worshipping heaven and earth took a lot of time, and after the salute, I heard a sharp voice from outside the door: "The holy decree has arrived, and the Han people have received the decree!" "This time, I didn't name anyone, with Han Xuandao as the leader, leading a large group of sub-clansmen to welcome the order.

In fact, the guests in the Han Mansion all knew that the emperor's intention at this time was nothing more than to congratulate Han Mo and reward, and now the emperor has a lot of respect for this young man, and it is reasonable to send a reward at the time of the wedding.

However, when the decree was over, the officials of the DPRK and China who came to congratulate him were all taken aback.

Not to mention those jewels and gold silks, what surprised the courtiers was a sword given by the emperor, which was not unparalleled in the world, but it had an extraordinary effect.

This sword existed when the first emperor was there, and it was called the "Qingping Sword", which was the meaning of Qingping the world. This kind of sword, when the first emperor was there, there were three in total, and they were given to three henchmen, except for the cabinet ministers and the courtiers above the level of the six ministers, the other courtiers could be cut first and then played.

At that time, the first emperor was trying to reform the period, the purpose was to weaken the power of the family and stabilize the imperial power, and the three swords were part of the measures.

The three henchmen holding the Qingping sword, fearless, followed the emperor to implement various innovative measures, and when they encountered resistance, they took out the Qingping sword and cut it off.

But soon, the dissatisfaction of the family began to erupt, and finally several major families finally condensed together after several matchmaking, and impeached the three courtiers to the imperial court, in fact, in the way of impeaching the three courtiers, to resist the administration imposed by the first emperor.

After several confrontations, the family used various means to grasp the evidence of the crimes of the three henchmen of the first emperor, so that year's court meeting, the wind and thunder, the final result was that the three courtiers holding the Qingping sword were withdrawn from the Qingping sword, beheaded one person, deposed two people, but the deposed two people, only three days on the street, which also made the first emperor clearly understand that in order to succeed in innovation, completely eliminate the power of the family, there is a long way to go, since then, there has never been a Qingping sword, although through various means, It is true that the power of the family gradually disappeared, but with the death of the first emperor, the current emperor can only rely on the support of the family to stabilize the domestic political situation of the Yan State, and many measures have been gradually abolished.

Today, Han Mo got married, and the emperor suddenly gave him the Qingping Sword that he hadn't seen for many years, how could you let the courtiers who knew the story not be shocked.

Not to mention Taishi Xiao, the pillars of these families of Su Guanya were also taken aback when Han Xuandao and Han Xuanchang's brothers saw the Qingping Sword given it.

No one knows the true intention of the emperor to give the sword, or rather, the emperor himself has a variety of meanings.

Is it to give Han Mo the power to cut first and then play? Is it to make Han Mo his outpost of innovation? Or...... Just a gift? It is more likely that the Qingping Sword will be given in public, further intensifying the contradictions between the Han family and other families.

The guests in the hall had different expressions, but none of them spoke, thinking about the meaning of the emperor's sword.

As soon as the eunuchs retreated, they heard a voice outside the door: "Han Fan marriage, a good couple, the concubine is rewarded!" "For a while, another group of people came in, and another batch of gifts.

Concubine Niangniang is Han Mo's cousin, and this reward is always inevitable.

Finally, when the worship hall is over, the groom will lead the bride into the cave room, but the rules of Yan Kingdom are very special, after entering the cave room, the groom must soon come out, toast to the guests, and wait until the banquet is over, then he will return to the cave room, and have another small etiquette.

Surrounded by the brides, Han Mo led the red silk and took the bride into the newcomer's garden, looking at the new house full of happy words, Han Mo suddenly stopped his steps, couldn't help but look to the west, and then closed his eyes gently.
