On the third day of the seventh month of the fourth year of Jianwen, it is advisable to marry, travel, break ground, and enter the house, which is an auspicious day of the zodiac calculated by the Qintian monitoring.

Today's Wanshou Rock is full of lights, because today is the day of Nacai.

The big dusk is big, and the big dusk is the end. Dusk is coming, and the crown is welcome. The great dusk is called the faint of the Son of Heaven and the princes.

The emperor's wedding generally refers to the fact that the emperor has not married a wife before ascending the throne, and it is a marriage after ascending the throne, and this wedding is called the emperor's wedding. If the emperor had already had a wife before he ascended the throne, then there would be no big wedding after he ascended the throne. Even if the first queen dies or is deposed, and another queen is appointed, there will be no more weddings. The same is true of princes.

Therefore, Xiao Yu married Lin Yinping after ascending the throne, which can be called a big wedding. After Yan Beiyue ascended the throne, he married Xiao Yue, which can also be called a big wedding.

The same is true for the current Qin Xian.

The six pre-marital ceremonies of ordinary people are "Nacai", "Asking for Name", "Naji", "Nazheng", "Invitation", and "Greeting", but the wedding of the Son of Heaven is different from it, the pre-wedding ceremony is changed to "Nacai" and "Dazheng", and the marriage ceremony is "canonization", "Fengying", "Heyi", "Sacrifice to God", and the post-marriage ceremony "Temple Meeting", "Morning Meeting", "Celebration", "Edict", "Banquet".

According to the established rules, before noon, Qin Xianqin's chief and deputy envoys Sun Ligong and Sun Shilin came to the Taihe Hall to welcome the edict of "Accepting Gifts with Gifts", and then knelt three times and bowed nine times to accept the golden festival awarded by Sun Shiwu, the first assistant, and then led the honor guard and the gifts out of Donghua Gate to Wanshouyuan.

According to the etiquette system, Xiao Yu, as the father of the queen, must kneel to welcome the angel and listen to the summons of the envoy, and then the angel will hold a banquet on behalf of the emperor, and the officials below the prince and above the second rank will feast the queen's father. However, in terms of Xiao Yu's current monstrous power, not letting the emperor come to Wanshouyuan in person is already saving face, let alone kneeling to greet him?

When the honor guard came to Wanshou Gate, it became Sun Ligong, the envoy, kneeling and handing the edict into Xiao Yu's hands, Xiao Yu didn't even look at the contents, and directly announced the start of the feast.

Today's Wanshou Garden almost includes the ownership of the eastern capital, it can be said that there are princes who talk and laugh, and there are no cloth clothes to go back and forth, most of them are old brothers who followed Xiao Yu all the way from the northwest to the eastern capital. It was not until the afternoon that the feast was dispersed.

The next day, the fourth day of the seventh month, is the big ceremony.

The common people's family calls the levy, which is actually commonly known as the bride price. As the emperor of a country, the gift naturally cannot be light, it is still the same process, but this time Xiao Gongyu served as an angel, and a total of 132 gifts were sent into the Wanshou Garden, of which 74 were for Xiao Yuyi, and the remaining 58 were for Xiao Yu.

Later, Xiao Gongyu left the golden festival in the main hall respectfully, and then brought the seventy-four lifts belonging to the queen back to the palace, but under Xiao Yu's instructions, the other fifty-eight lifts were not left, all of them belonged to Xiao Yuyi's name, and they were also brought back to the palace together.

This time, compared to Xiao Yueding, who was in a hurry to obey the power, there were too many rules, and after Nacai and the Great Expedition, even if the emperor's family affairs had been decided, as long as Xiao Yuyi passed the door and was canonized, she would be the justifiable Empress Zheng.

The wedding date of Qin Xian and Xiao Yuyi is set for the first day of September, and there are still two months to go.

——

On the way to Wenyuan Pavilion, there was an old man and a young man walking side by side.

From time to time, eunuchs pass by, even if it is a high-powered red-robed eunuch, after seeing the two of them, they have to stop and call the two ministers well.

Xiang Ye said, this is a kind of honorific title of the prime minister, similar to the emperor of the emperor's honorific title and the prince of the prince's county king, since the proprietor deposed the prime minister, there is no prime minister, the word Xiangye gradually disappeared, until the rise of the cabinet during the Xuanzong period, although the cabinet chief assistant did not have the name of the prime minister, but there was the fact of the prime minister, so the theory of the prime minister re-emerged. Now in the Dazheng Cabinet, there are only two people who can be honored as Xiangye, one is Sun Shiwu, who has the name of the first assistant, and the other is the blue jade who is the first assistant.

The identities of the two are naturally revealed, the old one is Sun Shiwu, and the young one is Lan Yu.

The two walked side by side, Sun Shiwu, as the leader of Confucianism after Zhang Jiangling and Zhang Zai, and also the only living person of the five Confucian gentlemen, the main purpose of this trip was to rely on personal prestige to stabilize the situation of the court and the entire Jiangbei Shilin. So he didn't really talk much, most of the time he was like a clay puppet, but today he couldn't hide the worry on his face, and said slowly to Lan Yu beside him: "Ruiyu, Your Highness really wants to be so eager to marry Your Majesty? After the emperor's wedding, he is equivalent to an adult, and according to the law, he must be pro-government, although even if the emperor is pro-government, the court is still looking at the regent as the head of the horse, but the regent will eventually lose the name of discipline, and it is inevitable that the name will not be right." ”

Lan Yu laughed softly: "What the old gentleman said is good, but there is another sentence, which is called the general will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch, His Royal Highness means that after His Majesty's wedding, he will return to His Majesty to show the legitimacy of imperial power, and then form a rebel army, His Royal Highness personally led the army south to the south of the Yangtze River, and swept away Lu Qian and other rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

Sun Shiwu showed a sudden look on his face, "In this way, it doesn't matter whether you are still in power or not." ”

Lan Yu said: "Exactly. The mobilization of troops is such a big move, and it can't be hidden from the eyes of people with intentions, His Royal Highness simply wants to adjust the garrisons in various places in a bright and bright way, and I believe that in a few days, there will be rumors from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion and the Military Department. ”

Sun Shiwu was not surprised at all that Lan Yu, the second assistant, knew more than his own first assistant, and he didn't even have half a sense of resentment, but laughed softly: "Speaking of military affairs, I have recently heard a few students and juniors talk about it, someone has arranged the seats for the generals under His Royal Highness, although the metropolitan governor Xu Lin is not worthy of the name, but still ranks first, Ruiyu is in second place, followed by Lin Han, Min Xing, Wei Ban, Han Xiong, Zhuge Gong, Shi Le and the others followed, and what was even more surprising was that no one in the army had any objections to this, even if it was as unruly as Lin Han, and Wei Ban and other soldiers, they were all convinced by Ruiyu. ”

Lan Yu smiled, neither flattered nor surprised, as if he had already known this, his expression was as calm as water, and said: "It's just that all colleagues can afford to be Lan someone, and from now on, Lan may not have the opportunity to lead an army by himself." ”

Sun Shiwu also sighed and said: "In and out of the phase, what my generation of literati wanted, Ruiyu, you have already done it." ”

——

In the Garden of Longevity, the feast dispersed.

The group walked on the corridor of Houhu, the first person was dressed in a black and gold python robe, and the crown on his head was inlaid with nine proprietors, it was Xiao Yu, the owner of this place, and behind Xiao Yu was a group of powerful generals dressed in military attache uniforms.

It was these people who were called the Northwest Warlords by Jiangnan Shilin, and they became a stark contrast to the Jiangnan Shilords.

Among them, there are Xu Lin, the governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion, Lin Han, the governor of the Chinese army, Wei Ban, the governor of the left army, the governor of Minxing in the right army, and the representative of the Shaozhuang faction, the governor Tongzhi Shile, and the new faces of the governor Zheng Jing, Liu Yi, and Li Ruchun.

There are also Xiao Gongyu, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, Xiao Siyan, the left attendant of the Ministry of War, and Zhang Shixing, the right attendant of the Ministry of War.

The troika of the Dark Guard Mansion, Qu Cang, Tang Chunyu, and Li Rusong.

Xiao Jin, the head of the household.

and a large number of newly released real power commanders such as Sun Zhihua.

Xiao Yu, who was walking in front, said in a deep voice: "The Lone King's decision to raise troops to the south is the most important event, although the official date of sending troops is set for next year, but after the emperor's wedding, the Lone King will return to the emperor. ”

Everyone agreed in unison.

Xiao Yu asked, "What is the situation in Jiangzhou?"

Qu Cang replied softly: "Except for the Jiangzuo Xie family, the other four families are still waiting. ”

Xiao Yu stopped, looked at the calm lake outside the corridor, and sneered: "The reeds on the wall." ”

The crowd behind him also stopped, all silent.

Xiao Yu said again: "The great river is dangerous, it is the biggest reliance in the south of the Yangtze River, although Shuzhou can also march, but this time is different, Lu Qian has already laid heavy troops in Liangxiang, it is not so easy to capture Liangxiang, in the final analysis, it is still necessary to cross the river and fight, the two armies go hand in hand, is there a candidate for the water division?"

Xu Lin stepped forward and replied, "Yang Bofu." ”
