Seventy-two marquis, the most striking are the three female marquises.

Among them, the first one is Wuzhen Hou Wanping. The female general Wan Ping not only made a marquis with military merits, but also created a precedent of a father and daughter being crowned together, a family and two marquis, and Wan Mingde, who was named the Marquis of Wuxi, became the most prominent figure in the northwest for a while.

And Biluan, who was once the maid of the great commander, was not only given the surname of the commander, but also was named Marquis Hong Jinghou because of his repeated military exploits in commanding the Red Army. He became the most special figure among the seventy-two princes. Because of Lan Biluan's legendary history of struggle, she has also become the target of worship and yearning for ordinary women in later generations.

As for Pang Sumei, the Marquis of Linjian, she inherited the title of her brother Pang Tu. Because of his great contribution in the defense of Xiangyang, but unfortunately he died, Xiao Qingyun specially named Pang Tu as the Marquis of Linjian, and became a typical example of not messing up in danger and preferring to bend rather than bend. Because Pang Tu has no heirs, and his sister also has the merit of taking care of the sergeant and loyally protecting the lord, his title was promoted to Pang Sumei and was not demoted.

Among the princes, in addition to the female marquis, there are two male marquis who have also attracted much attention. One is Jiang Xianlin, the head of the Tai Hospital, who was named the Marquis of Xinglin because the Jiang family has made many contributions to the Savior; The other is Prime Minister Zhang Xun, who was named the Marquis of Pingjin because of his dedication to pacifying Xianbei, which set a precedent for the later "praise of the Marquis with Prime Minister" in the Qianguo. These two marquis are also the only two of the seventy-two marquis who are not marquis with military merits.

Xiao Qingyun also made a rule, except for Xiao Lan's two surnames, if there is no merit, the world will punish him. That is to say, in addition to the royal family and the Si Ming clan, except for the military merit of the marquis, only those who are the prime minister or the assistant are eligible to be the marquis, and all relatives or donors are prohibited.

After the prince read it out, it was Lan Jing'an who blessed and admonished the prince on behalf of God. She recited in a deep voice:

Liewen Pigong, Sizi is blessed. There is no boundary, and the descendants will protect it.

There is no seal in Erbang, and the king of Wei worships it. Nian Zirong Gong, following the order of the emperor.

There is no competition for the maintenance of people, and the Quartet will train them. If you don't show virtue, you will be punished.

So, the king does not forget!

The princes replied in unison:

Therefore, the grace will not be forgotten!

At this point, the princely division is over. The whip sounded again, under the leadership of Prime Minister Zhang Xun and Taiwei Zheng Rong, the officials congratulated on the table, held the watch to read, the ministers bowed three times, increased the amount, the mountain shouted long live, the wat prostrate, and then bowed four times with the ceremony, the congratulatory ceremony was completed, Xiao Qingyun issued an edict, and Jianyuan "Tianding".

The restoration ceremony is over, but Lan Jingan still has not finished his duties. Next, she had to rush to the west of the city before sunset to worship the gods of the West. Before heading to the west of the city, Lan Jing'an still had a short time to take a break in the Taiping Palace. Due to the limited time, she couldn't even go to the Chengjing Hall to rest, so she could only make do with it in the side hall of the Changwu Palace.

Xiao Qingyun didn't alarm anyone, and quietly went to the Changwu Hall with the food box. Feng Yan, Si Yun and others at the door saw that it was the arrival of the new emperor, and they were just about to salute and shout "Your Majesty" when Xiao Qingyun raised his hand to stop them. He pushed open the door of the temple lightly, and entered in a flash.

Lan Jing'an was lying on the desk, for fear of crumpling her dress, she didn't even dare to pill on her arm, so she could only barely hold her forehead against her hand and squint for a while. Xiao Qingyun was distressed when she saw her now, and called her softly: "Ahri? ”

Lan Jing'an sat up suddenly when he heard the voice, and stood straight again. But seeing that Xiao Qingyun was alone, she instantly lost her strength and her body softened. Xiao Qingyun put the cake in front of her and said, "I have ordered you to work hard today." Now from outside the Taiping Palace to the West City Gate, there are crowds of people, all looking forward to seeing you again. ”

Lan Jing'an sighed slightly, picked up a piece of gift cake, and almost choked when she took a bite, Xiao Qingyun hurriedly poured a glass of water for her. Lan Jing'an swallowed the dry and cold cake before saying, "Shouldn't there be a Quartet after the ministers congratulate each other?" Come here now, have the envoys seen it? ”

Xiao Qingyun smiled lightly: "Don't worry. Anyway, there is a night party. I'm tired and don't want to see them now. It's more important to take a look at my Ahri first. You eat slowly, you haven't eaten for a day, you're hungry, right? ”

Lan Jing'an still had the scum of the ceremonial cake in his mouth, and his speech was slightly slurred: "Hunger is secondary, and it is indeed a little lacking." But compared to when we were fighting, it's nothing. I still have to worship the northern gods at the sacred mountain, and I am afraid that I will not be able to make it, and I don't want to attend the night banquet in the evening. ”

Xiao Qingyun thought that even if she went, she couldn't eat hot food, and she couldn't drink tea and wine, and she was even more guilty, so it was better to let her rest for a while, so she replied: "If you don't go, you won't go, and let you rest and rest." ”

Lan Jing'an smiled slightly, and said, "I don't need to let the Yulin Army send me later, just have the Tiger Ben Army follow." "The Yulin Army is now led by Wu Wei, who is Ren Wei Weiqing, and most of the shadow guards are among them. The Tiger Ben Army was managed by Feng Shen, who was in charge of Jinwu, and Lan Jing'an was more comfortable to use. In addition, the first palace banquet was still prudent, so Lan Jing'an felt that it would be better to keep Yulin Jun in the Taiping Palace at all times.

Xiao Qingyun didn't object, and fed her a few more mouthfuls of gift cakes. The two didn't say a few words, and it was almost time to leave for the west of the city to worship. Xiao Qingyun couldn't afford to send her publicly, so he had to leave from the Changwu Hall first. Before he reached the gate of the palace, he heard Lan Jing'an call him: "Brother Qingyun." Xiao Qingyun turned around, only to see Lan Jing'an dragging a long dress, smiling lightly, swaying towards him. Lan Jing'an, who was originally dignified, had three points of softness on his face at this time, and Xiao Qingyun's heart moved.

Lan Jing'an squatted down, put his hands on Xiao Qingyun's side and worked for a while, then got up and took a half step back, quietly admiring. Xiao Qingyun followed her gaze and looked down at his waist, only to see that in addition to the colorful yellow and red ribbon he was wearing, there was another white guixuan ribbon around his waist.

Xiao Qingyun just wanted to ask, but suddenly remembered the sentence in the ancient book of rites: "The Son of Heaven wears white jade and Xuanshan ribbon." He couldn't hide his smile, and he reached out to feel the white gui on his waist. The white jade is warm and smooth, fine and glutinous, and the texture is wonderful, and the style of wearing the white jade ribbon makes Xiao Qingyun even more excited.

Xiao Qingyun couldn't hold back any longer, stretched out his hand to Lan Jing'an, and whispered, "Ahri, I'm really happy." Lan Jing'an endured his shyness, stood on tiptoe, and whispered softly in his ear: "I wish you a happy birthday, peace and longevity." At this time, her voice was soft and lingering, and she was the same as the two of her who had been outside the Zichen Hall before, she was no longer the high-ranking commander, she was just a Ahri of his own.

Xiao Qingyun's whole heart seemed to be soaked in honey water, and he climbed to her lips and shared his spurting happiness with her. Lan Jing'an knew that such presumptuous might affect her image for a while, but she was still extremely supple and felt the irrepressible happiness in her heart with Xiao Qingyun.

Fortunately, Xiao Qingyun was no matter how happy he was, and he still remembered Lan Jing'an's unfinished duties. He didn't dare to kiss her deeply, nor did he dare to hug her hard, so he could only endure the strong desire for Ahri. Xiao Qingyun secretly thought that when he chose this day as the day of his restoration, he was somewhat selfish, but on this busy day, the first person to congratulate him on his birthday was still his Ahri. Sure enough, no matter what time it is, she is the most important thing in her heart.
