In a blink of an eye, it came to the first day of September, the day when Xiao Yuyi got married.

Xiao Yu dominated Xiao Yuyi's family affairs, but he did not show up on this day. Lin Yinping strongly opposed this matter, but on this day, she personally handled it.

Two moods act in the same way.

Xiao Yu still has a bit of unspeakable guilt after all.

Sixteen people full of festive meaning carried the red phoenix and slowly walked out of the Wanshou Garden, together with various honor guards, and slowly walked in the direction of the eastern capital.

It's just ugly now, the sky is still dark, and the entire Wanshou Garden is brightly lit.

Xiao Yu, who was wearing a python robe and jade belt, sat alone in the Dongnuan Pavilion, looking out the window, stunned. After a long time, until the sounds of joy could no longer be heard, they withdrew their eyes from the dark darkness of the night.

He looked down at the hideous ink dragon on the python robe, and he was in a trance.

He had come so far unconsciously, and when he thought of Xiao Yuyi's marriage, he shook his head and smiled bitterly. When Xiao Yu saw today's Xiao Yu, would he be disdainful? Probably yes, disdain for today's Xiao Yu's utilitarian heart, and disdain for today's Xiao Yu's unscrupulous means.

After all, he became the kind of person he hated so much.

Just last night, according to the etiquette system in the main hall of Wanshou Garden held a ceremony to canonize the queen, first as the envoy Sun Ligong read out the text to Xiao Yu, and then put the golden book and gold treasure on the book of treasures, the female official guided Xiao Yuyi to the front of the throne, and the female official of the ceremony read the book of treasures to Xiao Yuyi, and Xiao Yuyi took the gold book and gold treasure. Finally, after kneeling and bowing three times, the canonization ceremony is completed. As soon as the auspicious time for the Qintian supervisor to report to Zishi arrived, Xiao Yu was dressed in a dragon and phoenix robe, and officially sat on the phoenix and marched to the Eastern Capital Palace.

In the process of seeing off, the queen's mother can lead the women to send them to Fengyu, and the queen's father leads his children to kneel outside the gate. However, the male Ding of the Xiao family was already thin, and the previous head of the family, Xiao Lie, had retired, Xiao Jin went to the Northeast again, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens, Xiao Yu simply did not show up, but was sent off by Lin Yinping.

Xiao Yu walked out of the East Warm Pavilion and climbed a watchtower located in the northwest corner of Wanshou Garden, looking out in the direction of the Eastern Capital from afar.

Because it was late at night, everyone in the honor guard to marry the queen held palace lanterns, and a large number of lanterns were hung along the way.

Next, the entire guard of honor will enter the city from the middle gate of the eastern capital, all the way through the nine gates, and come to the outside of the Taihe Palace.

This process is a greeting ceremony.

As for the following rituals such as the union, sacrifice to the gods, temple meeting, and court meeting, it is considered a family ceremony, and it does not need the intervention of foreign ministers, and it has nothing to do with Xiao Yu. Only the final celebration, the edict and the Taihe Hall banquet are national gifts, and Xiao Yu needs to participate in person.

It wasn't until the whole team had completely entered the Eastern Capital and could no longer be seen that Xiao Yu retracted his gaze and asked, "What time is it?"

Qu Cang stood behind Xiao Yu and replied softly, "It's almost time." ”

Xiao Yu hummed and said, "It's been a busy night, you go and rest, stay alone for a while." ”

"No. Qu Cang replied softly and stepped back to look at the tower.

After two months, Xiao Yu's temple restructuring has been largely implemented, with the cabinet as the head and six ministries under its jurisdiction, the military is headed by the metropolitan governor and under the jurisdiction of the five armies, and the local government is based on the three divisions of the political envoy department, the inspection envoy division, and the command envoy division, among which the political envoy department and the inspection envoy division belong to the ranks of civil officials and belong to the ministry and the cabinet, while the command envoy department belongs to the ranks of military attachés and belongs to the metropolitan governor's office.

There were two major events next, one was the pro-government of the little emperor Qin Xian, and the other was the appointment of Yang Bofu as the governor of the water division and began to rectify the water division.

These two things are almost in no particular order.

After Xiao Yu returned to Qin Xian, he would step down as regent, but he would officially be enthroned as a fief in Qizhou, hereditary replacement, and become a vassal king in the true sense, which is very different from the nameless king of the northwest, or the nominal king of Jin and Song.

At the beginning, Xiao Yu was named the king of the northwest, and in the eyes of the world, it was Xiao Yu who occupied the five states in the northwest and was crowned the king. But legally speaking, the king of the northwest is only the prime minister of the northwest military administration, but the five states in the northwest are not Xiao Yu's fiefdoms, let alone hereditary replacement, so it can only be said that there is no name. The princes of Jin, Song and other princes, although there are hereditary replacements, but they are very restricted, and they must live in the eastern capital for a long time, and they cannot leave Beijing for hundreds of miles without will, so they are in name only. This time, Xiao Yu was enshrined in Qizhou, which is to classify Qizhou as Xiao Yu's fiefdom, which can establish a feudal country, and can be called a lonely widow, which is just equivalent to Xiao Yu's current vassal king etiquette system.

Xiao Yu looked up at the night sky, and whispered to himself: "The rice has to be eaten bite by bite, and the road has to be walked step by step, from the king of Xiping County to the king of the northwest, to the regent, and finally to the king of Qi, this road is almost at the end, only the last kick at the door." ”

——

Lin Yinping's guard of honor followed Xiao Yuyi's queen guard of honor and went to the Eastern Capital together.

However, after entering the imperial city, Lin Yinping's guard of honor did not go to the Taihe Palace, but bypassed the Taihe Hall and went straight to the residence of the Queen Mother.

At this time, the Cirui Palace, the lights are faint, and the atmosphere is deserted, and there is no joy in the emperor's wedding.

Lin Yinping, dressed in a black crown robe, slowly walked into the Cirui Palace, and the eunuch with white hair personally led the way in front, followed by four sword-bearing maids.

These four maids were born in peonies, and were personally selected by Xiao Yu as Lin Yinping's personal guards, known as the Four Swordsmen, who only obeyed Lin Yinping's orders and had a transcendent status.

The Empress Dowager Yu, who lived here, also walked out slowly surrounded by maids, and after the two met, they invariably bent down with their sleeves and bowed to each other.

According to folk sayings, the Jade Empress Dowager will become Xiao Yuyi's mother-in-law, and Lin Yinping will become Qin Xian's mother-in-law, and the current relationship between the two should be in-laws.

After entering the hall and taking their seats, Lin Yinping said with a smile: "The two families are relatives, it is reasonable and reasonable, they have to come to see their mother-in-law." ”

The Empress Dowager Jade bowed her head slightly, and said softly: "There is Queen Lao who will come in person, but unfortunately it is inconvenient for me to leave the palace, otherwise I will definitely go to the queen's mansion to visit me." ”

Lin Yinping didn't answer this conversation, but said to himself: "The two children have become relatives, they are a family, and the family doesn't talk about the two families, and I will say some things bluntly." ”

The Empress Dowager Jade raised her head and asked, "Queen, please speak." ”

Lin Yinping sorted out his thoughts and said clearly: "First of all, the inner court of the deep palace is undoubtedly respected by the queen, but in these six palaces, pickling yin and private affairs are indispensable, and the feather coat is still young, I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it, so I still have to ask my mother to give me some guidance at that time." Secondly, maybe it won't be long before the emperor will be in charge of the government, which is what the regent means, and I will tell the queen mother in advance this time, and the queen mother will know it in her heart. ”

The Jade Empress Dowager is a very practical woman, not to mention wisdom, but she can be regarded as smart, not up or down, if she is just in the cage of the harem, it is already the ultimate to seize power and profit, but if you want to look at the whole world, you can't get rid of the restrictions that the pattern is too small.

Lin Yinping said that it was a matter of the world, but the Empress Dowager Jade only saw what was in front of her, so there was an irrepressible look of surprise on her face. In her opinion, Xiao Yu's willingness to return to power means that Xiao Yu is willing to give in, maybe Xiao Yu wants to preserve his reputation in history, maybe Xiao Yu is forced by other pressures, but no matter what the reason, this makes their mother and son see hope.

After all, there is no shortage of such records in the history of the Qing Dynasty, the emperor died, leaving only orphans and widows, resulting in the power of the ministers, the little emperor ascended the throne under the wing of the queen mother slowly grew up, until he grew up and became pro-government, and finally eliminated the power in one fell swoop, regained power, and became a generation of heroes.

Qin Xian is a little emperor and a young master. Xiao Yu is a powerful minister and a thief of the country.

Much like a story in a history book.

Lin Yinping's back was straight, which made her more and more slender, and at the same time made her look condescending.

She looked at the Empress Dowager Jade, and a somewhat mocking smile flashed at the corner of her mouth.

Lin Yinping's pattern is not big, but there is a Xiao Yu behind her, as well as the entire Northwest warlord.

Xiao Yu's retreat was exchanged for a King of Qi, a national abbot, and a righteous name.

As the saying goes, if you want to take it first, you must give it first.

Xiao Yu has already given up the name of the regent, and he will naturally get back more things than a regent in the future.
