Chapter 490: Marriage (II)

When their team was ready, they naturally went directly to Chang'an City, they went on foot, but in the process of advancing, these soldiers still maintained a uniform pace, and even when they moved, they were horizontal and vertical, as if they were a moving whole.

These soldiers carry some different, strange things, and Li Jing doesn't know what they do, but there are some like suona and the like, could this thing be musical? It's understandable, after all, how can there be a kiss that doesn't beat gongs and drums?

However, only the five hundred men at the back carried these things, and the thousand soldiers who walked in front were wearing some strange guns, which were not long, about four or five feet, and the wooden and iron structure in the back, and a dagger stuck in the front.

It seems to be like a spear, and it can attack directly forward, but this distance is also too short, far from the length of a spear, and about the same distance as a normal long knife attack, so what's the use?

Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin didn't know what these things were, if they knew, it was estimated that they would never allow these thousand soldiers to carry these things to Chang'an City, because this thing is nothing else, and any later generation can recognize it, this thing is the famous rifle of later generations, although it is only a rifle from the First World War.

But even the rifles of the First World War were too strong in this era, and after solving the problems of bullet encapsulation and propellant, these rifles were invincible in this era! Of course, Li Jing: They don't know what these things really are.

And the reason why Huo Gang sent them over was because he was afraid that something would go wrong on the road, just in case, and secondly, to let them show their faces, so as not to wait for Li Shimin to know about it in the future, and say that he was not authentic. He had already shown it anyway, and he didn't know the magic of this thing, so he couldn't blame Huo Gang.

The team that picked up the relatives went directly to Chang'an City, and Li Jing followed behind the team, because when they arrived in Chang'an City, there were still relevant etiquettes there, and those Li Jing didn't need to come forward.

Half an hour later, the team has arrived in Chang'an City, at this moment both sides of Suzaku Street have been crowded with dense crowds, on both sides of the restaurant and other roofs are standing on the top of a lot of people watching the excitement, but on both sides of the street is there are two rows of neat rows of royal guards standing on both sides, isolating the street and the houses on both sides and ordinary people.

Behind them are red roses neatly placed in clay pots, which give the whole street a faint floral fragrance.

When all the marriage teams entered Chang'an City, the two generals who walked in the front made two gestures directly, and then under the gaze of Li Jing and Cheng Yanjin and all the people on both sides, the soldiers with strange things on their bodies quickly formed a neat phalanx, and then the soldier who was standing in front of them without carrying a musical instrument directly pulled out the long knife on his waist with a "swish".

Then he raised his right hand holding the long knife diagonally upwards to the right, the tip of the knife from the side, and then his right hand slammed down to return to its normal state, and with his movements, the two rows of soldiers behind him jerked the strange drum in his hand.

A series of peculiar and rhythmic music sounded, and then all the soldiers behind quickly blended in, this music was something Li Jing had never heard before, but it was ...... It's weird and nice, and the peculiar rhythm seems to be in tune with the pace of the troops ahead.

The music sounds pretty good.

It's just that...... These instruments are something they have never heard of, so Li Jing doesn't know if Datang can get these things, but this thing is not a strategic level thing, presumably if you want to buy it later, it shouldn't be difficult.

These musical instruments are much more convenient than most of their musical instruments in the Tang Dynasty, and the most important thing is that they can come out like this at some memorials and when the army goes out, which is of great benefit to enhance the cohesion of the army.

As the military god of the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing had already figured out the benefits of these music at this time, because when the music sounded, he could feel that the soldiers who were walking even seemed to have become more vigorous, and the queue that had been walking for a long time had become neat again, and they were constantly adjusting with the sound of the music.

Of course, what Li Jing didn't know was that this thing was used in later generations for military parades, the review march and the columnar march.

Huo Gang didn't know about those too complicated pieces, and Huo Gang could probably hum this review march, as for whether it was exactly the same as the review march and column march of later generations, Huo Gang was not sure.

Because he is not a music professional, he just hummed these two tunes, and the experts in the music of the Han Dynasty constantly adjusted the instruments he made, and then Huo Gang listened to it again, and finally felt that it was almost the same, and then these professionals adjusted and sorted out, and finally finalized.

Anyway, after the finalization, the difference between what Huo Gang's ears heard and the later generations is not big, and it doesn't matter whether some notes are higher or lower than the later generations.

The important thing is that he likes to listen to this familiar music, he even has the piano out, Dahan is also quite fast in the development of this music, and with these two marches, Huo Gang believes that there will be countless excellent marches in the future.

And just as the procession was about to arrive at the square in front of the Suzaku Gate, Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and all his concubines and most of the ministers were already waiting in the square here at the Suzaku Gate, and a wooden platform had been temporarily erected on the square.

The platform is not too high, and it is only less than one meter two above the ground, this height is accurately calculated, and the height of the seats on the carriage that Huo Gang and them brought over is the same, that is, the height of the person sitting on the high platform is the same as the height of the person sitting on the carriage.

On the other side of the side standing with Li Shimin was Wu Ping, the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, and at this moment Wu Ping also smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you can ask His Royal Highness Changle to come out." ”

Li Shimin smiled and nodded, and then nodded at Chang Lin next to him, Chang Lin immediately straightened up and said loudly: "Please leave the palace with His Royal Highness Changle!" ”

"Please leave the palace with His Royal Highness Changle!"

"Please leave the palace with His Royal Highness Changle!" The surrounding Foresters on either side of the platform immediately shouted loudly at the same time.

With the roar of these royal forest troops, the vermilion gate of the Vermilion Bird Gate slowly opened from both sides under the impetus of the two teams of soldiers, and the one who was already waiting behind the Suzaku Gate, dressed in full costume, Li Lizhi raised her head, she did not pick up her own fan.

Because it was the official of the Ministry of Rites who told her that she didn't need it, it was communicated and discussed with the Han Dynasty, and this was considered a marriage between the two countries, so the etiquette had to be discussed by the two countries, and the fan that covered her face was proposed by Wu Ping to Li Shimin.

This doesn't matter at all, these side events can't affect today's grand event at all, even those who like to pick thorns in the imperial history can't find any fault, because today's Changle princess Li Lizhi is not married to any courtier of the Tang Dynasty, she is married to the future emperor of the Han Dynasty.

So the rules are naturally different.

When Li Lizhi walked out with the four maids carrying the long tail of the wedding dress, she was subconsciously stunned for a moment, not because she could see the high platform and the ministers, fathers, queens and queens on the high platform when she raised her eyes.

It's because of the red roses that have covered the entire square, the red roses have turned the entire square into a sea of bright red, and the air is filled with the fragrance of roses, and the surprise in Li Lizhi's eyes can't be lost.

Because Huo Gang once told her this story, he told her that he once read a book in which the red rose symbolized love. Li Lizhen once asked him what kind of roses they were, and Huo Gang also asked the people who belonged to Li Lizhen's firm in Datang to send her some red roses.

Those red roses are now raised by Li Lizhi, but there is no way to take them away from Chang'an this time, but what Li Lizhen never expected is that she will see such a romantic sea of flowers at this point of marriage!

The red roses are so delicate that almost the entire square is stuffed, if it weren't for the fact that the current scene doesn't allow it, Li Lizhi would want to run to those flowers, not only Li Lizhen, but the maids who followed behind Li Lizhen were all shocked, and they also knew about the red roses.

But they never expected to see so many red roses here, and at this moment they suddenly felt that it was not impossible for all the ladies in the entire Tang Dynasty, from the princess to the ordinary people, to envy their Royal Highness.

There are many, many people in the world who can do this, but how many men are willing to prepare such a romantic thing years in advance for their unmarried wife? Have it? No! If a husband is like this, what more can a husband ask for!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Li Lizhen raised his head and walked to the high platform with firm steps, and after Li Lizhen walked on the high platform, Wu Ping, who was originally sitting next to Li Shimin, and all the Han officials stood up, bowed to Li Lizhen, and saluted.

Li Lizhen didn't return the salute, because she knew that now was not the time, Li Lizhen walked in front of Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, stood facing the two, and then Chang Lin said loudly: "Say goodbye to your parents." ”

Li Lizhen raised her head and looked at her father and mother who were sitting there, she lifted her skirt with both hands, and then knelt down directly, Chang Lin, who was standing next to her, was stunned for a moment, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were also stunned, because Li Lizhen didn't need to kneel here, because yesterday in the palace, Li Lizhen knelt and said goodbye to the two.

"Father and queen mother, today the daughter will marry far away from another country, please forgive the daughter for being unfilial, unable to fulfill her filial piety by the side of her father and queen mother, and even whether she can see her father and queen mother in the future is not sure. Please ask the father and the queen mother to bow to their daughter. Li Lizhi said seriously.

After finishing speaking, Li Lizhen directly leaned down and knocked down, and after kneeling three times and knocking nine times, Li Shimin stood up directly, and Empress Changsun also fought, and the two of them walked in front of Li Lizhen and helped her up.

"Lizhen, what should be said by the father and the emperor has already been said, but in the future, you must marry a big man, you must do everything you are a wife ......" Li Shimin said softly, what should be said, he didn't want to say it, but at this time, Li Shimin didn't want to care so much, at this moment he is not an emperor, but a father.

Standing in front of him was his daughter, who had been the daughter of his heart since she was a child, and the eldest grandson queen next to her still couldn't hold back, and she was already in tears at this time.

Li Lizhen endured that she didn't cry, and the eldest grandson queen wiped it several times to stabilize her tears, she didn't say anything, because she was afraid that she couldn't help crying directly as soon as she opened her mouth, she just walked in front of Li Lizhen and hugged her daughter tightly.

Li Shimin, who was next to him, had already seen the team of the big men marrying in the distance to the edge of the square, and he immediately gave Chang Lin a look.

Chang Lin immediately understood, and he directly said loudly: "Send His Highness Changle!" ”

"Send His Highness Changle!"

With the shouts of the surrounding soldiers, the carriage that was at the front of the Han marriage procession in the distance had already quickly moved in this direction.

This is a carriage pulled by eight jujube red horses, it is different from all the carriages in Datang, and it attracts everyone's attention as soon as it comes out. Because its overall structure is made up of thin steel tubes, it has a total of four wheels, and the wheels are wrapped in a black thing outside the steel hub, I don't know what it is.

The carriages of the carriage were all covered with special animal fur, and the floor and seats were covered with fiery red animal fur. There are three rows of seats in the whole car, the front row is the driver's seat, this row of seats is low, and the back two rows of seats are significantly higher than the front row.

The second row of seats is like a plush sofa, which can only seat two people, but the back row seems to be able to seat several people.

As soon as this carriage came out, all the young people from the aristocrats of the entire Tang Dynasty were all looking at it.

Li Shimin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, comparing it with this carriage, the prepared carriage next to him...... Although it is also not small, this shape is ...... No matter how you look at it, it feels very ...... Li Shimin didn't know how to describe it, it was as if the courtyard of a common people's house was compared with the courtyard of a gate lord nobleman, who was more upscale, it was clear at a glance.

scolded Huo Gang again in his heart, but naturally there was no expression on his face.

The carriage circled around the high platform, just parked the carriage on the side of the high platform, and the soldier who acted as the coachman quickly put a special template between the high platform and the carriage, so that Li Lizhi could walk directly from the high platform to the second row of seats and sit down.

"Your Highness, please get in the car." This was said by Wu Ping, who was standing behind, because theoretically from this time on, Li Lizhen was already a Han person.

Li Lizhi nodded slightly, then raised her legs and walked to the carriage, she easily walked to the second row of seats, and the four wedding maids who followed Li Lizhen helped Li Lizhen arrange the skirt, and then sat behind the third row of seats behind Li Liqin.
