Chapter 193: Hundred Days of Sacrifice, Meritorious Service, Marriage!

Historically, the queen has a big funeral, although the Ministry of Rites has a convention system, but often the funeral is still from the upper cut, or deleted or added, so the Chu Dynasty has had eight queens so far, and each person's funeral is different. In today's Yongxi Emperor, because of the deep affection of the couple, everything is personally ruled by him, and now that it is a hundred days, he has already ordered to drop out of the dynasty today, and the princes and nobles and civil and military officials and women are divided into altars to worship.

An altar for the emperor, an altar for the imperial concubines, an altar for the princes, an altar for the eldest princess, an altar for the princess, an altar for the county king, an altar for the county lord, an altar for the princess, an altar for the civil and military officials, and an altar for the wife...... All kinds of people bowed to each other, but the emperor, who was standing alone on an empty altar, stared blankly at the green smoke that went straight up the clouds in the ding, but he had already burst into tears unconsciously.

The eunuchs under the altar also saw this scene, although they all lowered their heads and pretended not to see it, they had mixed feelings in their hearts. Especially the eunuch Cheng, who had just been transferred from the Kunning Palace steward brand to the Qianqing Palace steward brand, it was easy to stop the old tears that came out of his eyes at this time, and he only lowered his head quickly, lest those who were not angry that he had returned to the front of the palace say that he was hypocritical. He was very happy to go to guard the queen's mausoleum, but the emperor said that it was not the time, then it was not the time, and if he could really survive that day in the future, he would happily follow

On the other altars, it was a different story. It's not that there are people who burst into tears, they only really think about the benefits of the late queen, and what they really remember with sadness is that there may not be one stop out of ten. Between the green smoke, there are more people who follow others and bow in unison, hoping for someone who can finish the job. When the long sacrificial ceremony finally ended, I don't know how many people breathed a deep sigh in their hearts, knowing that the national funeral was almost over.

Serving 27 months of mourning for biological parents is often done in front of one person behind the other, and it is vain to say that this is just the mother of the country?

After the sacrifice, the princes and princesses had to go to Kunning Palace to pay another salute, and the others dispersed. The officials also had to go back to the yamen to deal with all kinds of matters, and the wives went home separately, as for the emperor's relatives and relatives, etc., who only took money and ignored things, many of them walked together in groups with each other. Among them, Luo Mingyuan, the prince of Weiguo, who limped and even asked his son to walk away, was naturally extremely conspicuous. It's just that this is the palace, except for Chen Ying who stepped forward to say hello, the rest of the people just greeted and saluted.

Because Weiguo Gong Luo Mingyuan came with an injury, the chartered carriage was waiting outside the Donghua Gate. Finally managed to get to the door of Donghua, Luo Xu and the little maid worked together to push his father into the car, whispered to the henchman who came out this time, and then glanced at the high palace wall, and then turned around and boarded the car. When the carriage was moving, he glanced at his father next to him.

"These days, the concubine Niangniang often summons her mother, at least a dozen times. Dad's current Lumi and Grange have surpassed those old nobles, and it is the first one to be the first, and this is too conspicuous. Shouldn't I also send a letter to the concubine, so as not to be so dazzling? ”

"Taoguang also has to divide the time, isn't your mother going to the palace, and I haven't come back, so it's not dazzling?" Luo Mingyuan replied concisely, but his eyes kept looking ahead, "You said last time that when the emperor was using Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, he was obviously setting an example for those old nobles, you can't marry her daughter, this is where I was really negligent before, and this matter will be stopped." ”

Luo Mingyuan didn't seem to see the change in Luo Xu's expression at all, and continued to take care of himself: "Only the girl that your mother told me about is of course very good, but she was born in the Chen family, which is a ** annoyance." ”

Luo Xu was shocked when he heard this, although the car was driving extremely smoothly, he still grabbed the handrail next to him and took a deep breath. Luo Mingyuan suddenly turned his head at this time, and said angrily: "Even if I didn't make such a great achievement this time, and she has never entered the palace, your mother came to the door rashly to ask for marriage, and Chen Ying, the Marquis of Yangning, was afraid that she would also hold a grudge." I know that you and your mother are worried about his deeds that are not on the table, but you must know that Yunnan Jinyi Wei Qianhu is not a vegetarian, and he is not allowed to take credit, he was indeed a meritorious person in the beginning, and he killed no less people than me in the south, and now when he has to use it, if he finds out some old things, I may not be happy. What's more, you already know that the emperor is going to give her a marriage, so it's better to wait. ”

Just as Luo Xu gritted his teeth and was silent, the carriage passed the alley of Dengshi, and suddenly there was a loud sound of horses' hooves behind him, followed by the carriage stopped. Luo Xu hurriedly opened the curtain and opened the car door to go out, but saw that it was a little eunuch who rolled the saddle and dismounted. The little eunuch rushed forward in three or two steps, and hurriedly arched his hand without caring about saluting: "Duke Weiguo, prince, summoned by the emperor"

Chen Ying, Marquis of Yangning, went straight back to the Left Army Governor's Mansion. Because Weiguo Gong Luo Mingyuan is still recuperating from his injuries, and the Beijing camp is still dominated by Han Gong Zhang Ming, so although he does not have the name of the palm print, he has the fact of the palm print. It's just that not long after he came back from Xuanfu, he didn't intend to take power back up immediately, but called a few scribes to understand the situation, and then retreated, secretly thinking that Chen Yan had set Du Weifang's eldest daughter, and Chen Lan's marriage would have to be stepped up.

He is not worried about whether this marriage will be successful or not. The only son of Liu Tao, the governor of Xuanda, was born handsomely, and he was indeed not very gentlemanly, but he was spoiled by his mother and was greedy for fun, and Liu Tao was the son of heaven. In case the two ancestors and grandchildren are jealous of him and make trouble and things don't come out, when it is publicized, public opinion will only think that the Zhu family is holding the old way of marrying their beloved granddaughter to the noble, and even the emperor will not be happy.

It's his daughter Chen Xi...... Luo Xu, the prince of Weiguo, is indeed a talent, but the Luo family is at the peak of its momentum right now, and if it is not good, it is more likely to lose his daughter and lose his army......

Thinking about it, he unconsciously pinched and drew with his fingers on the white paper, and in a short time he scratched a piece of small notepaper. At this time, I only heard a soap subordinate outside shouting: "Master Hou, there is a will"

Chen Ying jumped up almost instantly, but when she took the first two steps and was about to reach the door, she stopped, carefully sorted out the clothes on her body, and then opened the curtain and went out. Seeing a soap man standing under the eaves, his face full of respect, he asked, "Who is here and how many are there?" ”

"It's a father-in-law with a face, with two small firefighters, and no one else."

Chen Ying was relieved and strode out of the hall again. Soon, the military attaches from all over the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army were in a hurry, and everyone arrived outside the front hall, seeing that the incense case and so on were all ready, and they had to kneel down in turn, until the almost overheard "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict" voice sounded, and many people were ready to listen to a large number of clichés, who knew that the next thing would go straight to the point.

"Chen Ying, Marquis of Yangning, the former commander of the capital to make Zuowei Guogong town in Yunnan, with great merits, and sent the king of Jin to Xuanfu with the deputy Qin, and the Tatar army is not afraid of danger at present, and has a good plan. Today, the mutual market fraud case has come to light, and he has been promoted to the left military governor's mansion and the left governor's office. The governor of the capital knows Qin He, and is promoted to the right governor ......"

Although Emperor Taizu hated those edicts such as the battle of the pun script the most, and ordered that all the edicts should be easy to understand, but for more than a hundred years, the cabinet elders and Chinese scholars drafted edicts, often still indispensable to show off their penmanship, and a little thing can sprinkle hundreds of words, and today this edict is so simple that ordinary people can understand it is really rare. Therefore, after the military attachés got up, the promoted officials congratulated each other, and also asked who wrote the edict. In the midst of this chaos, Chen Ying was agitated in her heart, and tried her best to show a casual expression on her face.

First the Marquis of Yangning, and then the Governor of the Left Army Governor's Mansion held by his brother-in-law, he took it back in the same way, and now all that remains is for his children to stand firm in marriage, and not to be at the mercy of others like him

Due to today's big festival and the fact that there were not too many important affairs in the yamen, Chen Ying said hello to his subordinates and left before Shen Shi. In this hot weather, the hot wind and sand that were blowing in his face were mixed with his sweat, coupled with the excitement and excitement, he felt more and more hot in his heart, until he entered Yangning Street and found that a group of people seemed to have just stopped at the main entrance, and he was stunned for a moment.

"Quick, go report to the old lady"

"Hey, don't be stunned there, go and prepare, and open the door later"

Seeing this situation, Chen Ying rode his horse a few steps forward, and stopped in front of the gate of the three five-frame gold-lacquered beast-faced tin rings, and immediately found that this was actually the celebrant and eunuch Qu Yong, who followed behind in addition to the two small firefighters, and more than ten brocade guards, which were obviously more powerful than the line that went to the Zuojun Governor's Mansion to deliver the decree. After a moment's hesitation, he jumped off his horse neatly, and walked over with a flick of the reins.

"Gonggong Qu is here to deliver the message?"

In the face of Chen Ying's temptation, Qu Yong returned the salute, and then nodded lightly: "Yes, Master Hou came back early today, and it happened to be a coincidence, so I have to ask someone to inform you to come back later." ”

When Chen Ying heard this, she couldn't help but feel warm, and immediately snorted and talked to Qu Yongpan again. After a while, I saw that the door was open, but it was the second brother Chen Jiu who came out in a new outfit with a few juniors, probably because he was running in a hurry on a hot day, and his face was full of beads of sweat. When he saw him, Chen Jiu's eyes flashed, and then he deliberately avoided it.

"The old lady said, please serve tea to Gonggong Furuitang."

"The old lady is polite."

Qu Yong, who had just finished a run, was really sweating profusely and his mouth was dry, so he thanked Chen Jiu and followed him inside. When he sat down in Furui Hall, he drank all the cup of tea sent to him in one go, but in the face of the temptation of the Chen brothers, he always talked about him left and right, and he just didn't know the bottom. It wasn't until the outside world reported that the old lady and the ladies had arrived, that he flicked the corner of his coat and stood up.

In the main hall of Furui Hall, the men and women of the Chen family gathered together. The Marquis of Yangning, Zhu, was holding the crutch given by the emperor, and when she saw Qu Yong placing the edict on the case, she immediately turned her back to face everyone, and Zhu knelt down tremblingly with the help of Chen Lan, and the rest of the people naturally followed suit. Chen Lan, who returned to his original position, couldn't help but take a deep breath when his forehead was on the ground, which calmed his mood.

"The late posthumously honored the granddaughter of Chen Yong, the prince of Jingguo, was born in a prosperous family, gentle and frugal, qualitatively graceful, and won the praise of the queen of benevolence and filial piety. Today, the marriage of the right army governor of the governor's mansion is Yang Jinzhou, and the end of the year chooses an auspicious day to complete the marriage, and he is here. ”
