Chapter 3: The Scholar's Sacrifice to the Heavens
Those subordinates carrying the dowry, all of them have strong steps, and they all have a resolute expression on their faces, and they know at a glance that they are soldiers who have been on the battlefield, and their combat power must not be bad, but I don't know if the emperor values the dowry of the Cheng family?
Maybe both, the Cheng family uses heirlooms as a dowry, if it weren't for the grace, I'm afraid that the emperor would have let people send the baby to his dragon case now, and Qin Jian's body also has the information of the baby, these years the emperor has put the idea of fishing big fish online, let Meng Yun lurk around Qin Jian, in order to get the baby's information, but unfortunately nothing, Qin Jian returned to Beijing this time, presumably the emperor wanted to catch him, and use severe torture to pry out the baby's information, the emperor didn't believe that Qin Jian, as the only living person of the Qin family, would not know the whereabouts of the baby.
But the world is often just to make you unexpected.
Qin Jian's grandfather didn't reveal the slightest bit of information related to the baby to him until he died, it should be that his grandfather was protecting him, if he knew where the treasure was hidden, he couldn't help but take it out, at that time, Meng Yun was not committed to the little slave girl under him, but immediately turned into a life-killing red Gu, thinking about his way, if the royal family really wanted to kill him, it would be easy, not to mention anything else, but the head of the shadow guard was definitely on par with his master.
"Grandpa, you really have good intentions, don't worry, I will live well. ”
Qin Jian whispered softly, then dropped a piece of silver and left the teahouse.
The greeting team walked to the front of the white jade gate, everyone jumped off the horse, even the groom Chen Shixing was no exception, because Zhou Taizu was the emperor in this move, so the white jade gate also has another name - the land of Longxing, all the people of the Great Zhou, whether it is a civil and military official, a prince and a nobleman, or a common people, peddlers and pawns, all dismount when they come here, and even some aspiring people often come here to burn incense and worship, hoping to get a touch of Longxing's spirit, and they can also be honored to worship the prime minister, and glorify their ancestors.
And Zhou Taizong also specially issued an edict, saying that this kind of behavior is the respect of the people of the world for Emperor Taizu, and no one can stop it, no matter who comes, no matter when, even if the emperor travels, he must wait for people to worship before he can pass guò.
This will has never been violated for more than 100 years, anyway, the white jade gate is just a symbol of Kyoto, and the daily traffic is to go through the other four gates, and the white jade gate is here with it, and no one has ever cared.
But today's wedding on behalf of the prince, according to the rules is to go to the white jade gate, for this behalf of the palace and Cheng Fu have also done a lot of work, send people to persuade those who want to worship to stagger some hours, do not miss the auspicious day of the newcomer, this persuasion is reasonable, but also give everyone enough face, and everyone prays and worships, the purpose is to sell themselves to the emperor's family, if you block the road to worship the sky when the royal prince is married, isn't this disgusting? In case someone keeps you in mind, even if you have the opportunity to be an official or a general in the future, I am afraid that you will be removed.
Therefore, many people know each other very well, and the stone in the hearts of the acting king and Cheng Fu can be regarded as falling to the ground, and they also warmly invite everyone to attend the wedding banquet of the two mansions, so that those who are ambitious are even more happy, if they can make one or two nobles in the two mansions, it is much stronger than kneeling in the white jade gate and kowtowing and crying.
However, there are acquaintances in this world, but there are people who don't know each other.
Just on behalf of the prince personally led the horse, when the first to walk to the white jade gate, suddenly a white-clothed scholar rushed out from the side, walked to the white jade door, opened the burden on the body, and took out the sacrificial objects from it one by one, after a while, the incense candles and fruits were full of white jade door, and the scholar was dressed properly, knelt down respectfully, took out a sacrificial text from his arms, and began to read, and look at the sacrificial text, it was actually more than three feet long, densely packed with tens of thousands of words.
Chen Yanxing, the son of the acting king, couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart, good guy, everyone gave me face today, why did he run out of such a thing?
Chen Yanxing hated the root of his teeth, but he was helpless, if he encountered such a thing elsewhere, even if he beat that scholar to death, no one would be able to bear him, but this is Baiyumen, it is the place where their Chen family made their fortune, others still respect it, how dare he, a descendant of the Chen family, destroy it.
I can't say, I have to wait.
"Shizi, you are relieved, the little one will go to investigate the identity of that person, and after today's incident, the little one will definitely give the Shizi this bad breath. ”
Wang Ah Si is Chen Yanxing's personal servant, and he knows his master's character very well.
"Hmph, no need, Emperor Sejong also waited under the rain back then, and it was rumored to be a beautiful talk by the world, and it is not a bad thing to have such an opportunity on the occasion of my wedding today. ”
Chen Yanxing quickly figured out the trick, as long as he acted properly, this matter can also become a good thing, and it won't be long before the world will know that he is humble and virtuous on behalf of the king, and he would rather miss his own auspicious time than fulfill others, and in the future, he will inherit the throne and be a good king.
Wang Ah Si hurriedly said flatteringly: "The son of the world is wise, he is a little confused, it seems that this scholar has done a good thing." ”
Chen Yanxing laughed and said: "Of course it's a good thing, tomorrow you let someone arrange a good position for him, remember, you must be good, let him serve the court well." ”
"Yes, the little one understands, and the little one will definitely let him bow into something, and die after something. Hearing Chen Yanxing's particularly aggravated tone of the last sentence, Wang Ah Si immediately understood, it turned out that the prince just thought that this thing was not a bad thing, but this person was not a good person, such a poisonous day made the prince wait here, it was clear that he wanted the prince to be conspicuous, hum, then he Wang Steward could not treat this scholar badly, and let him know that there is also a poisonous plan in this world called killing without blood.
"It's to do your best, and then you're dead, don't mess around if you don't have culture. ”
Although Chen Yanxing was reprimanding Wang Ahsi, his eyes were full of smiles, Chen Yanxing has always been satisfied with this personal slave, this kid can always understand his intentions at the first time, and do things beautifully.
The master and servant here are scheming, and the scholars over there are also reciting the sacrificial text, but the speed of speech is too slow, and a sentence has to be paused several times before it is finished, and everyone is tired of listening, but he is still reading with high interest, but he is afraid that if he continues to read at this speed, the tens of thousands of words of the sacrificial text can be read until the sun sets.
