Chapter 31: Buddha Bless and Xu
The autumn breeze is blowing, the sun is warm and the sun is slanting, and the Yujin Garden in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty is the staggered light and shadow, and the evening shines on the sunset.
In this exquisite building complex that has the functions of a garden and a palace at the same time, you can see armored warriors and nobles dressed in vermilion everywhere, and I don't know how many great Song Dynasty civil and military officials, relatives and relatives are here.
"Filial piety, kindness. Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no deception. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. "Zhao Ding's wife, Zheng Guo's wife, Huo Shi, gently and solemnly exercised the duties of Zhengbin, teaching instead of the late Empress Xian.
"Although the child is not sensitive, dare not admit it." Zhao Fuyou, who was already slim, bowed down in a silver-red gown and replied respectfully.
This is the day when the Buddha blessed and the Xuan, the last sentence of the imperial pre-official and her exchange of rites. Then there is her sister-in-law, Xing Bingle, who has been blessed by the grace of the saint and has been awarded the title of Wenxi County Jun (note, not the concubine), added a flute, hairpin, and phoenix crown for her sister.
In a voice that only two people can hear, he said, "Foyou is so beautiful today, my sister will be happy." ”
Buddha raised his eyes slightly, and his aunt smiled kindly and satisfied.
After the ceremony, it was announced that Zhao Song Guan's daughter, Princess Zhao Foyou of Nanyang was officially an adult. Next, the second concubine congratulated, and the second crown and the one who praised the crown thanked him, even the relatives and nobles who were qualified to come to watch the ceremony also said auspicious words. The wife of the Wei State, Yuemen Li, sent a hairpin to show her determination.
Zhao Guanjia waved his hand, beckoned his daughter who had been tossing all day, touched her hair bun, and said; "Buddha bless has grown up, and he will be good in the future."
Buddha You hurriedly bowed to the shrine, covering up the wetness in his eyes, mother, Daddy really cherishes me. Zhao Guanjia was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that on this day, it was natural for the children to thank their parents for their nurturing grace, so they said: "Okay, if you are tired, go and rest, otherwise King Qi has brought a lot of rare overseas gadgets, and you take your sisters to pick a few." ”
Buddha You hasn't thanked him yet, but Zhang Jun's nephew Zhang Zigai on the side rushed to thank him, and said that the uncle knows that the official family is simple so they are all inconspicuous, please don't dislike the princesses, and at the same time hint that the next time Princess Shouchun and Lu, the Zhang family is also willing to worship, and they hate a group of rich people who almost scolded them, not the stuff of the son of man, is it rare to have an opportunity for an official family to spend money to show his face? Your Zhang family's holy family is like this, why do you still want to rob us.
Zhao Guancai didn't care what they thought, he swallowed his saliva, he didn't know that the box of various crystals, jade cabbage ornaments and fist-sized Dongzhu sent by Zhang Laocai and the legendary pipa that went to Japan in the former Tang Dynasty were not rare, what was rare?
A three-foot-tall coral tree?
Forget it, Zhao Guan's family is also very tired after sitting for a day, who doesn't know that he doesn't like these complicated etiquette the most. But this time, the Empress Dowager Zheng, who is the mother-in-law, reminded euphemistically, after all, this is a major event in a girl's life, and Zhao Guanjia thought about it, although I believe that the Yue family will treat their daughter well in the future, but in this imperial society, the status of the princess is directly linked to the emperor's favor and attention.
Wan Qiaoyu poured wine into his brain some time ago, and it may be that he has been away from the center for a long time and is no longer vigilant, and he actually plays small actions under the emperor's nose in order to be promoted. It can only be said that the Zhao official family has not used his authority for a long time, and people almost forgot that this is the son of heaven who dared to cut off a military leader like Liu Guangshi and a top civil servant like Du Chong on the verge of death, not to mention that now his gestures can deter the East Asian political circle, a word is wrong, the two prime ministers have to confess their guilt obediently at home, and he is very good, let alone promoted, he was directly demoted by half the level and became Taichang Siqing.
Here it is necessary to introduce what Taichang Temple does, which is the highest administrative organ in charge of ritual music, and it is called Fengchang in the Qin period. As for Taichang Temple, although it is one of the nine temples, its specific duties are to be in charge of ceremonial music, suburban temples, shrines, altars, and mausoleums. You said that the attitude of the Zhao official family towards Luoyang Baling for ten years after his ascension to the throne, what is the difference between this position and pension, you don't see that some time ago, the entire Great Song Dynasty bureaucracy was almost out of clothes, what about him, drinking tea every day and losing sleep! Isn't this asking for the life of the official fan Lao Wan?
Coincidentally, Shang Shuding, who was more justified than him in preparing for this matter, was worried, and he hurriedly started with 120,000 spirits and mobilized all his subordinates and connections to prepare. figuring out the Sacred Heart every day, the plan he finally came up with really satisfied the Zhao Guan's family.
Of course, there are still many people who are not satisfied, the princesses of the past dynasties and the princesses are all in the vertical arch hall or the Daqing hall to entertain guests, how can they run to Yujin Garden? Another example is the princess Jiaxuan, hairpin, and phoenix crown, even if the queen dies, it should be done by the queen in the palace, why should it be handed over to a girl with a foreign surname?
But it doesn't matter what you think, as long as the official family thinks it's good, it's really good. As for when he can find a way out again, he will never dare to fight Xiao Jiujiu again in the short term.
What do you do with a werewolf who will destroy the country if he doesn't agree with him? Didn't you see a princess and Lu, Eastern and Western Mongolia, Western Liao, and even the Qing Kingdom sent envoys to congratulate them?
Zhao Guan's family sat idle in the master, casually arranged a few words, and did not notice that dozens of steps away, a young and quiet girl looked at her deeply, and nothing else.
At the banquet, Zhao Guan's family was impatient, and finally walked to the water pavilion to meditate, and the people of his own palace ordered osmanthus tea to relieve his fatigue, and after a while, Li Xiuzhi came over and said: "Your Majesty, there are a few important notes and a few things, I don't know whether to go back to Gyeongbokgung Palace tonight or tomorrow." "If it's not important, it's naturally handed over to the Secret Pavilion.
"Are you in a hurry?"
"Not really, it's just that the official family asked the ministers to sort out the questions of the marshals about the Jurchen prisoners of war some time ago, and found that there were a lot of deaths, and the envoys of the Western Liao obviously urged this problem again."
"How many people died?"
"So that the officials know that there were still 40,000 Jurchen prisoners of war in the Great Song Dynasty who had not been delivered, and as of September, there were still about 27,000 people alive."
"Ahem" Zhao Guanjia choked, this problem is a little serious, and the error can't be up to this point, I'm not afraid that Yelu Dashi will not be able to cooperate after turning his face. No wonder Li Xiuzhi ignored his tiredness, and he had to explain it.
Ladies and gentlemen, you didn't have this record in killing the enemy on the battlefield back then, how could you make it so easy to arouse prisoners of war?
But he didn't know that the root of the problem was not him, but to a large extent, it had a lot to do with him.
This matter has to start with the execution of thirteen Jurchen captives who "disturbed the imperial tomb" in anger, yes, the official record is thirteen, and what more than a hundred are rumors.
Xing Bingle, a native of Kaifeng, the word Tao Ran, the daughter of the queen of Shizu Xianjie, her father Jian Guo Gonghuan, was born in the third year of Zhenghe. In Jianyan, Xianjie collapsed in gold, Bingle returned to Beijing, less and more palace forbidden, comforted Nanyang and Shouchun, and everyone praised him as a virtuous relative. The white horse negotiated peace, and once sued Yu Shizu that he was originally a soldier and a slave from an official family, and he was no longer a slave of the country. The ancestor sighed and said: The daughter of the boudoir, how many scholars have been killed. Later, he apprenticed to Yi'an Jushi and learned music and rhythm. Or said that the ancestor did not forget the Xianjie and wanted to hire his sister, Bingle said that the son of the saint tomorrow must not have the ridicule of the queen of Li. Sejo sighed and stroked the old sword. After Bingle married the heir of Yi'an Jushi, Jianyan died in 40 years, and was posthumously presented to Mrs. Yixing County, and "Tao Ran's Long and Short Sentences" was handed down.
