Chapter 098: Time flies

At the end of May, the dust finally settled.

Gu Qingming also arranged the defense of the capital, sorted out the forbidden army in the imperial city, and put everything on the right track.

Shen Che issued an order in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, crowning Gu Qingming as the general king, in charge of all the Daning soldiers and horses, which included not only the previous Gu family army, but also the Qin family army, the Gyeonggi Guard, the capital patrol battalion, the Imperial City Janissary Army, and even the Northern Army and the Southern Border Army, as well as the southwest garrison of General Wu Lao.

At this point, all the military power of the entire Daning was in the hands of Gu Qingming alone, and even the father and son of the Du family, who followed Shen Che to the north and made great achievements, could only succumb to Gu Qingming.

In this turbulent era when internal strife was initially determined and external troubles were continuous, the status of military generals was already high, and Shen Che's holy decree really pushed Gu Qingming to the status of a supreme minister, under one person, above ten thousand.

The lives of the people returned to peace, and after the collective invitation of the three princes and nine kings, Shen Che finally agreed to hold an enthronement ceremony in mid-June, and went to Mount Tai to worship the heavens, showing the subjects of the world that he was a righteous emperor.

The costumes and regulations for the enthronement ceremony have long been prepared, since the day Shen Ze abdicated, the courtiers knew that there would be such a day, so even if the enthronement ceremony was only half a month, it was not in a hurry.

The only thing that worries everyone is that the emperor ordered that the enthronement ceremony and the post-sealing ceremony be held together, but because Lu Yingquan entered Beijing later, it was much more troublesome for her clothes and jewelry to be prepared.

However, the potential of human beings is endless, and through the cooperation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Yeting Palace, the Provincial Palace, and other departments, before the arrival of June 15, the things for the emperor and queen to be canonized and sacrificed to heaven were finally prepared.

The process naturally does not need to be repeated, Daning is stable, and no one has come to stop this ceremony of sacrificing to the sky, and what's more, when Shen Che climbed Mount Tai to worship the sky, a colored glow suddenly appeared in the sky, and after Qintian monitoring and calculation, this glow is an auspicious omen, representing that His Majesty the Emperor is blessed by God and is the destiny of heaven.

After the ceremony of worshipping the heavens, Shen Che and Lu Yingquan returned to the court hall and accepted the bows of the ministers, and Shen Che also took this opportunity to make several holy decrees:

First, the biological mother Jiang was canonized as the queen mother and lived in Jianzhang Palace.

Second, the eldest prince gave the name Shen Jue, and the second prince gave the name Shen Jin, and both princes were raised by Queen Lu Yingquan.

Third, posthumously crowned the queen's mother's family, posthumously crowned the queen's father Lu Zhenting as a loyal and brave duke, and posthumously crowned the queen's mother Yuan as a first-class lady.

Fourth, Yun Yao was accepted as the righteous sister, named the eldest princess, and named Jing'an, taking the meaning of Jingbian and the people, which was intended to reward Yun Yao for her support to the queen and her assistance to the emperor.

Fifth, he ordered the general Wang Gu Qingming and the eldest princess of Jing'an Yun Yao to get married on a certain day.

Sixth......

From the content of these holy decrees, it is not difficult to see the feelings of the current saint for Empress Lu Yingquan. In addition to the emperor's own mother, all the remaining holy decrees are to consolidate the status of the queen.

Some people say that the queen was born from a humble background, but she was born as a criminal slave in Langyue Pavilion of the Yeting Palace? It doesn't matter, she chased the mother family, raised the Lu family, and made Lu Yingquan the daughter of the prince of the country, with a prominent status.

Some people see that the new emperor's harem is empty, and the draft expands the harem? It doesn't matter, the two princes are all handed over to the queen to raise, even if there are really newcomers entering the palace in the future, they can't shake the queen's status.

It doesn't matter, Yun Yao, who is the same sister as the queen, will be crowned the eldest princess, and by the way, she will marry the general king, with such a sister and a sister-in-law who leans towards the government and the opposition, who dares to bully the queen at all!

Such a pile of piles and pieces raised Lu Yingquan to an unattainable position, which really fulfilled Shen Che's original holy promise, and he handed over the country to hire him, making Lu Yingquan his only wife.

Now, he's done it, and it's just ...... She may not need it anymore.

In other words, what she needs is these false names that are icing on the cake, not Shen Che's seemingly sincere but untested love.

Of course, this is not something that Yun Yao can interfere with. She has gone from an orphan girl with no father and mother, from a criminal slave who was framed everywhere, to her current status, becoming the righteous sister of Emperor Daning, the only eldest princess, and God has been good enough for her.

Maybe she felt that her life in the past 20 years was too miserable and child's play, so at this time, she compensated her with all her kindness, she was quietly the eldest princess and Gu Qingming's fiancée, but she could no longer point fingers at Lu Yingquan's affairs.

Because, Lu Yingquan is no longer the Lu Yingquan of the past, she already has her own calculations.

Shen Che gave Yun Yao the Eldest Princess's Mansion, which was in the best part of Daning's capital, surrounded by the mansions of high-ranking officials and nobles, and even adjacent to Gu Qingming's General's Mansion, and by the way, Su Xin and Hongxiao, who had been friends with Yun Yao in the past, were sent to the Eldest Princess's Mansion to serve Yun Yao.

This can be regarded as Shen Che's painstaking efforts, knowing that Gu Qingming and Yun Yao have always gathered less and left more for his great cause, and also knew that Lu Yingquan has always cared about Yun Yao's sister the most, so he tried his best to arrange for them, hoping that they could live a better life.

After June, the weather gradually warmed up, and Lu Yingquan's enthusiasm for helping Yun Yao with her marriage also increased.

In Lu Yingquan's heart, Yun Yao is special, if she really wants to find someone in this world, she is sincere to Lu Yingquan recklessly, she knows that person must be Yun Yao.

Therefore, she wants to help Yun Yao fulfill her wish.

Soon, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and even the people of Beijing knew that the queen mother was going to arrange the marriage for the eldest princess of Jing'an and the general Wang, and all the departments became lively in an instant.

Qintian monitoring calculates the auspicious day of the zodiac on the eighth day of the lunar month, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for formulating the marriage process and coordinating related matters, the procurement department is responsible for going out of the palace to purchase a dowry for the eldest princess, and the twenty-eight embroidery girls of the Shangyi Bureau are collectively dispatched, determined to embroider the world's most beautiful wedding dress for the eldest princess, and the third-class palace maids of the Yeting Palace are also seeing the stitches and taking their own actions.

At this time, the most idle are Yun Yao, who is about to be married, and Gu Qingming, who is about to marry a wife.

"Eldest princess, General Gu sent someone to spread the word that he would come over to dine with you in a while, and the slave maid would make up for you. Su Xin came in to say goodbye, walked behind Yun Yao in three or two steps, and was going to comb her hair.

"No need, Sister Suxin, there is nothing to worry about between me and the general, no matter how embarrassed he is, he has seen it. Yun Yao smiled and rejected Su Xin's kindness.

Although it is said that women are pleasing to themselves, but together with Gu Qingming, she fell off the cliff, trekked through mountains and rivers, went deep into the enemy camp, experienced hardships and dangers, and had never seen any embarrassment in the middle?

I have to say that Yun Yao knows Gu Qingming. Gu Qingming doesn't love those enchanting women, in his opinion, even if Yun Yao is dressed plainly and dressed plainly, it is also the indelible bright moonlight in his heart.

"Sister Suxin, don't toss, the eldest princess and the general don't care about these empty things. Hongxiao smiled, "Let's wait for the eldest princess to go to the restaurant, so as not to make General Gu wait for a while." ”

"Just you'll speak!" Su Xin heard this, and made a gesture to pinch Hongxiao's ears.

Yun Yao sat on the chair, looking at the two people in front of her, her smile getting deeper and deeper.

Although Su Xin is now in his thirties and can be regarded as a real old man in the palace, he has suppressed his temperament for so many years, and now that he is out of the palace, in front of Yun Yao, a person who knows the roots, he shows the side of a child, and he is almost the same as the naughty Hongxiao.

The two of them made a fuss for a while, remembered what was going on, and waited for Yun Yao to go to the restaurant. Fortunately, Yun Yao didn't mind and didn't blame them with her identity.

In the restaurant, the food had already been arranged, and not long after Yun Yao entered, Gu Qingming came.

Although Gu Qingming is idle now, as a general, especially the general who controls the entire country's army, it is impossible to really stay at home all the time, so Gu Qingming always likes to go to the camp on the outskirts of Beijing when he has nothing to do, deal with military affairs with Dewey and Du Jiangheng, and pay close attention to training.

Because Gu Qingming knew that Shen Che was an ambitious emperor, and now sitting on the throne was just the first step for him to surrender to the big goal of the four seas, he was still young and had many ambitions, and he still wanted to beat Nanyi and Beidi and never dared to invade the Central Plains again.

And all of this depends on strong military strength.

But there is one thing, no matter how busy and tired Gu Qingming is in training, he will report to the eldest princess's mansion on time every day and accompany Yun Yao to dinner.

Daning's defense of men and women is not so strict, and many women can also walk around the streets, so although Gu Qingming and Yun Yao have not officially married, they will not gossip if they have close contacts, and more importantly, they have already been engaged.

Summer goes to autumn, and in the blink of an eye, the grass and trees wither, and the snow comes leisurely.

I have to say that time flies like a white horse, and when the first snow of winter comes, it is already the sixth day of the lunar month, and there is only one day left before the marriage of Yun Yao and Gu Qingming.

According to the rules of Daning, the death of the Empress Dowager Jingduan originally belonged to the national filial piety, and the people of Daning had to keep filial piety for 27 months before they could get married, but because the new emperor ascended the throne, the day replaced the month, and the Empress Dowager Jingduan stopped for 27 days, which can be regarded as keeping filial piety.

And Shen Che also specially decreed that as long as the 100-day filial piety period of the Empress Dowager Jingduan is over, the people will be able to get married and funeral, and everything will be as usual.

Now, the period of filial piety has long passed since the Empress Dowager Jingduan, so the marriage between Gu Qingming and Yun Yao is not a conflict, so the people of the entire capital have become lively because of their marriage.

In order to be contaminated with joy, every household spontaneously hung red lanterns at the door of their homes, which can be regarded as praying for the blessings of the eldest princess and the general king.

The time of the day is fleeting, and it will soon be the eighth day of the lunar month.

Before dawn, Yun Yao was pulled up from the quilt by Su Xin, and together with a few girls such as Hongxiao, Bamboo Branch, and Chrysanthemum Leaf, they helped Yun Yao put on the wedding dress, and then pressed her in front of the dresser and began to toss.

On the streets of the capital, Shen Che specially sent people from the patrol battalion to clear the snow on the street in order to make it easier for the sedan chair and the welcoming team to go, and the snow that fell on the ground was swept to both sides, revealing the ground covered by snow.
