After a rough estimate of the distance, Ma Chengfei shook his head slightly. It's too far away, even if he thinks he has excellent archery skills, he can only sigh with admiration.

At this moment, a cavalry suddenly rushed out of the Houjin array, carrying a white flag, and went straight to the city.

This is not here to surrender, those who have experience in the battle formation know at a glance that this is here to deliver a letter.

The messenger of Houjin rushed to the city, planted the flagpole of the white flag on the ground, and shouted: "The king of Khan has a letter to send to the governor of the king. ”

So saying, he took his bow and arrows, and shot them at the city. This is called the Book of Arrows, and it is also a commonly used method.

After shooting the arrow, the messenger stretched out his hand and pulled out the white flag that had been planted on the ground, and he was about to pull out his horse and return to the team.

Just as the messenger turned his horse's head and turned around, whoosh! An arrow suddenly came from the city, striking the horse in the neck.

The horse howled, fell to its knees, and fell.

The Houjin messenger was caught off guard, fell off his horse, rolled on the ground, turned down with his head covered, picked up the white flag, and ran towards his own team.

Sou! Another arrow came at a rapid pace and landed on the back of the Houjin messenger.

Stumbling forward, the Houjin messenger was seriously injured, and his steps staggered forward, dripping with blood, and spilling a heavy red mark on the ground.

The Ming army in the city turned their heads in shock, and saw the Jinyi Guard, a hundred households, and horses gritting their teeth and pulling their bows and arrows again.

There was an uproar in the Houjin ranks, shouting and shouting, expressing anger at this despicable act of breaking the rules. Two horsemen rushed out, apparently to rescue their companions.

Where the bowstring sounds, the arrow is like a meteor. This shot was so accurate that it pierced the neck of the Houjin messenger from behind, and in the gushing blood, the corpse fell to the ground, smashing up a cloud of snow and dust.

"Good archery."

"Master Ma's magic arrow!"

The two brocade guards cheered loudly, half from the heart, half from the heart.

Ma Chengfei blushed a little, originally thinking that he would kill the enemy with one arrow. But this bow is not very handy, and it took three arrows in a row to master it.

The Houjin cavalry, who rushed out to rescue their companions, reined in their horses, pointed at the city and scolded loudly, but did not dare to continue to come forward and take away the corpse.

Xiong Tingbi shook his head, speechless at this rule-breaking behavior. He reached out and took the arrow book handed by his own soldier, and unfolded it to read it.

………………

In the ancient days of polygamy, even if it was an ordinary family, as long as there were economic conditions, marrying a regular wife was also to be married by the media and grandly managed.

As for concubines, they can't even use the word "marry", they have to be called "Na". I guess it means acceptance, and it's very casual to listen to.

The emperor is married, he is married to the queen, the small one is the lord of the harem, and the big one is the mother of the country, and the pomp and circumstance of the ceremony are naturally not described by the word grandeur.

It was quite grand, so grand that Zhu Youxiao felt troublesome.

Nacai, asking for names, Najib, enlistment, invitation, and personal welcome, the six rites are an indispensable one, and the emperor is no exception.

Although the emperor didn't have to go in person, he had to dress like five or six people, and then the official of the Ministry of Rites was busy slapping the back of the head.

For example, Nacai, asking for names, according to "Changyi", to set up a guard of honor outside the Qing Gate, set up a woman to be happy with the Qing Palace.

In the main hall of the Qing Palace, two tables are temporarily set up, covered with apricot yellow satin tablecloths, one table is placed on the "section", and the other table is placed on the "name" edict. The bride price to be sent to the queen's house was also displayed in broad daylight.

Hey, ha, this is a new thing, and you may not be able to catch up in a lifetime!

The scene of the big wedding is rare even for members of the royal family and court officials. The officials of the Ministry of Rites looked at the babbling, but they also recorded and stipulated in the classics, and they had not practiced it at all.

The officials who watched the ceremony listened to the command and looked around, just to see the excitement. The emperor marries his daughter-in-law, we can watch the ceremony, and this thing can be blown for a lifetime.

It's a pity that I don't have a mobile phone or anything, or I'll take pictures blindly and send them to the circle of friends.

After waiting for almost that, the officials of Qin Tianjian reported vividly that the auspicious time had arrived!

Zhu Youxiao dressed up as five or six people, surrounded by ministers, guards, and eunuchs, made a grand appearance, and walked into the main hall of the Qianqing Palace in the sound of music, and ascended to the throne.

The princes and ministers bowed to the ground, and the mountains shouted long live.

The official of the Xuan system took the edict, stood on the east side of His Majesty, announced the edict loudly, appointed the main and deputy angels, went to the queen's house to collect and ask for the name. In the sound of music, two angels are feasting and edicting. Licheng, Zhu Youxiao retired from the dynasty.

Well, Zhu Youxiao also appeared like a puppet, showing his face, and he didn't even have to say a word, so he had nothing to do.

Then there is the envoy holding the festival, the deputy envoy holding the edict, the honor guard, the drum band in front of the road, the gift-giving official followed the second envoy's buttocks, starting from the Qianqing Palace, blowing, blowing, and rushing to the Guozhang Mansion.

The future ruler knelt at the gate to receive the angel, to receive the order, to receive gifts, thanksgiving. Then submit the "form" with the daughter's name, resume, birth date and other items to the angel.

After the ceremony, a banquet was held to entertain the angels. Full of wine and food, the angel led the team back to the Forbidden City. Enter the noon gate, stop outside the Taihe gate, and hand over the "festival" and "table" to the celebrant and eunuch, even if the task is successfully completed.

The celebrant and eunuch then held the festival and table, and went to the Qianqing Palace to restore the "imperial order". Zhu Youxiao again "informed" the princes and ministers of the situation and asked about the name.

Just tossing and turning, the last of the six rites, "personal welcome", is finally coming.

Tomorrow is the "personal welcome", and the folk are Xinlang officials wearing red flowers and going to pick up the bride. When I got home, I ate and drank lively, and then it was the night of "Flower Candle in the Cave House".

The emperor naturally does not have to deign to go, but taking the queen to Kunning Palace also has a very cumbersome set of etiquette procedures, which he needs to experience and operate personally.

As the saying goes: people are happy and happy are in good spirits. But tomorrow is the "personal welcome", and the "candles in the cave room" can be "flower candles in the cave room", but the emperor himself is not very happy, but a little anxious and worried.

Could it be that the emperor is in a hurry and can't even wait for this day?

Zhang Yu'er finished combing the white lady's hair and cautiously glanced at the young emperor. I found that the emperor frowned slightly, and circled around the sand table again.

Don't look at the luck of being sent by Zhu Youxiao, but Zhang Yuer has not improved his status.

The palace maid is still the palace maid, and only when she is pregnant with the dragon species can she be titled, which is a customary rule in the palace.

If Xiong Tingbi can act according to his secret will, the certainty of keeping Guangning is still relatively large.

Zhu Youxiao touched his beardless chin, analyzed and judged again, and also cheered himself up and comforted himself.

Judging from the historical wars, if the Ming army defended the city with all its might, and there were no traitors to make trouble, it would still be very difficult for the Houjin army to capture the fortress.

Ningyuan is an example, the city is fortified with trenches, and there are Hongyi cannons to help; Jinzhou was not as strong as Ningyuan, and the Houjin army still couldn't attack it, and it took a year of siege to force Zu Dashou to surrender.
