Chapter 2 Sacrifice Ceremony, Your Majesty Gives Marriage
Kyoto looks calm on the surface, but secretly it is like a whirlpool.
In the next two days, in order to avoid some secret troubles, Chu Mo did not move around, staying at the inn during the day, and as for the night, it was naturally Piaoxianglou to seek fun.
After all, in the eyes of many people, he is a waste who does not practice martial arts and does not learn literature, and his own performance can also make the secret enemy feel at ease and vigilant.
……
The court was quiet in the middle of the night.
In the palace of Emperor Li Deyi, the candlelight was not extinguished.
Li Deyi, who is over sixty years old, is still working at the desk, and Duan Tianhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Li Mingyu, the old Yan king, and Li Gan, the crown prince, stand respectfully and listen.
After Li Deyi finished correcting the recital, he stopped his pen and looked at the two of them, and said lightly: "Can the prince of Beiliang enter Kyoto?" ”
"Your Majesty, the prince of Beiliang has resisted Kyoto two days ago, as the people said, the prince of Beiliang has entered the land of fireworks as soon as he arrived in Kyoto, and there is nothing unusual."
Duan Tianhou gave up his hand and listed all the unbearable actions of Chu Mo in Beijing for two days.
"Really?"
Li Deyi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face couldn't help showing a look of suspicion.
"Father, Emperor Qi, the minister can testify in this matter, the son has met with this prince of Beiliang, and what Lord Duan said is true."
Li Gan on the side hurriedly echoed.
"Although Chu Mo is the son of Beiliang, this person has no ink on his chest, and he is extravagant. Erchen believes that the father needs to think twice about the marriage. ”
After listening to Li Gan's words, Li Deyi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
"Prince, the prince of Beiliang is just entering Kyoto this time, there should be no place to offend the prince, right? Why is the crown prince so concerned about Chu Mo's affairs? Could it be ......"
At this moment, the silent old Yan King Li Mingyu said lightly, although he did not finish speaking, but this was the finishing touch, how could Li Deyi not hear the meaning of the words.
"Prince, did you go to trouble this son because I wanted to give the son of Beiliang a marriage?"
Li Deyi said.
"Erchen will never dare! Father, Old Yan King, I'm just thinking about the face of my Dawu Dynasty. After all, Taishi Wen is the elder of our dynasty, and if his father gives the daughter of Taishi Wen to a waste person like Chu Mo, he will probably fall into the laughing stock. ”
Li Qian hurriedly explained.
It's just that Li Gan's explanation is really a bit far-fetched, I'm afraid that among the four people present, only Duan Tianhou will believe this set of arguments, as for Li Tianyu on the side, he already has an unknown smile on his face.
"Well, it's late tonight, so let's stop the matter. In two days, it will be the sacrifice of the loyal martyrs of the Beiliang Palace, and this sacrifice is also very important to our Dawu Dynasty, and there is no room for loss, so you all go down. ”
Li Deyi waved his hand and directly dispersed the three of them.
……
Two days later.
The gate of the royal cemetery is wide.
Amnesty people can enter the cemetery today to pay tribute to the martyrs of the King of Beiliang.
Today's Kyoto is overcrowded, the people who participated in the sacrifice surrounded the entrance of the cemetery, most of these people came from Beiliang, they all came to pay tribute to their saviors, if it weren't for the Beiliang Palace, many of them would have died under the iron hooves of the enemy.
At the Xuande Gate, Li Deyi had already driven to the cemetery, and when he looked at the endless stream of hundreds of people on the street, Li Deyi also sighed in his heart.
Thinking back to ten years ago, if the people and horses in Kyoto had supported in time, the Dawu Dynasty would not have lost the King of Beiliang.
The mighty royal procession soon came to the entrance of the cemetery, and the people gave way when they saw this.
Entering the cemetery and coming to the tombstone of the martyr of the Beiliang King, Li Deyi slowly turned around, waved his big hand, and said, "Xuan!" ”
Duan Tianhou, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, nodded, first bowed to Li Deyi, and then unfolded the holy decree in his hand, and said loudly: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict that in the twenty-third year of the Wuli calendar, the two countries of Jin and Yan suddenly invaded our dynasty, but fortunately, the king of Beiliang came out of the world, led the army under his command to resist foreign enemies, and saved the people of our dynasty from dire straits. ”
"However, the Beiliang Wangfu Manmen and the Beiliang Army under his command have done their best for me to the rivers and mountains, Your Majesty the emperor is magnificent, and the martyrs of the Beiliang Wangfu are amnesty in the royal cemetery to set up a crown mound for the people of my dynasty to worship!"
"May the will of the King of Beiliang last forever, and may the civil and military officials of our dynasty uphold their wishes, serve the country loyally, and protect my Dawu Emperor and the country, immortal for thousands of years!"
"Bye!"
As soon as Duan Tianhou's voice fell, Li Deyi took the lead in kneeling on the ground, followed by hundreds of civil and military officials who came to participate in the sacrifice, followed by countless people.
In the crowd, Chu Mo and Yu Zixuan also had a straight face at the moment, kneeling on the ground. For it was their father who was buried in this cemetery.
Looking up at the endless figures, all the figures kneeling on the ground, Chu Mo sighed with emotion.
"Xuan, the prince of Beiliang came forward to worship!"
At this moment, Duan Tianhou's voice came again, and Chu Mo in the crowd heard this, slowly stood up, and walked towards the clothed mound across the Dao figure.
When he came to the clothed mound, Chu Mo took the incense candle handed by the chief manager on the side, knelt on his knees, and only after knocking his head three times in a row did he insert the incense candle into the incense burner.
This memorial service lasted for a full day before it ended, and Chu Mo followed the civil and military officials to the palace after the worship.
As for Yu Zixuan, he left alone, and no one knows where he went.
……
Inside the Golden Luang Palace.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"
Hundreds of civil and military officials gathered together, including the crown prince, more than a dozen princes and princesses.
Li Deyi sat on it with a straight face, and then waved his big hand to let everyone get up.
Then, Li Deyi nodded to Li Si on the side, Li Si instructed to step forward slowly, waved the dust in his hand, and said loudly: "Xuan, Chu Mo, the prince of Beiliang, enter the palace!" ”
As soon as Li Si's voice fell, under the gaze of the civil and military officials, Chu Mo's figure slowly came from far and near, and came to the front of the Jinluan Palace.
"Minister, Chu Mo, see Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live long live!"
Chu Mo tidied up his clothes and knelt on the ground.
"Flat!"
Li Deyi waved his hand to make Chu Mo stand up, and looked Chu Mo up and down with a smile on his face.
"Virtuous nephew, I haven't seen you for ten years, and the little slug who could only cry back then has now become an adult. Not bad, not bad! There's a bit of your father's demeanor! ”
Chu Mo smiled, bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the compliment!" ”
Li Deyi nodded, then his expression returned to seriousness, looked at Chu Mo and said, "Chu Mo, this time you have entered the palace, I have something to tell you." Ten years ago, the King of Beiliang died on the battlefield for the Dawu Dynasty, and the entire Beiliang Palace, except for you, all sacrificed their lives for the country. Time flies, and now, you have also reached the age of marriage, in order to prevent the Beiliang Mansion from falling, I plan to give you a marriage to continue the incense, I don't know if the virtuous nephew already has a lover in his heart? ”
