Act 11 Chapter 1 The Peacock Flies Southeast

Outside Jingren Palace, there were two carriages parked, namely the Eight Horse Golden Phoenix Luan and the Eight Horse Golden Dragon Hall Car, Yonghui and Xiao Siyu knelt outside the hall, and one hundred cavalry were led by Ye Luohe and He Yuanlang to kneel behind Yonghui and Xiao Siyu.

Lu Shen shouted: "Her Royal Highness Princess Yonghui and His Royal Highness King Yongwang bid farewell to the Queen Mother!" Farewells! ”

"Say goodbye!"

"Three words!"

"Up!"

The Queen Mother was supported by Fan Changling and stood in the hall, smiling and waving her hands at Yonghui and Xiao Siyu!

Xiao Siyu couldn't help but shout: "Grandmother! You have to take care of your health, your grandchildren are not filial and can't accompany you! ”

The Queen Mother almost couldn't help it, she waved her hand slowly, and said word by word: "Nanyan flies north, there is always a return date, go, don't think of the old body." ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu boarded the car step by step, Ye Luohe, He Yuanlang and others turned over and got on the horse, shouting: "Go!" ”

Out of Jingren Palace, His Majesty specially opened the Zhengtian Gate of Taichen Palace, and the quasi-princess and King Yong drove the royal road, and three thousand guards; 3,000 accompanying palace maids, eunuchs, and craftsmen; Accompanying the wedding of 6,000 boxes, a total of 1,000 cars, starting from the square in front of the Zichen Palace, Emperor Jing, the queen Jinluan car, the prince's golden palace car, the prince's palace car, the rest of the nobles, ministers more than three products to ride, three products to ride a horse, more than 1,200 people through the Chaoding Gate, and then through the Chaoyang Gate out of the Taichen Palace, first go to the temple to pay tribute.

Walking to the square outside the temple, the ministers knelt, and Emperor Jing joined hands with the princess, King Yong, the prince, the queen, the prince, the clan and the temple to pay tribute.

Emperor Jing recited: "The unfilial descendant Xiao Jingyuan told the ancestors and ancestors of the first emperor, and now the eldest daughter of the emperor, Xiao Huier, married to the Wei State, as the princess and concubine of the Wei State, and the future mother of the world, with the Huaide of my dynasty, the benevolence of the people of the Wei country, the culture of our dynasty, the benevolence of our dynasty, the friendship of the two dynasties, the war of the two dynasties, willing to the health of the people of the two dynasties, the national fortune is eternal, the book is on the table, I hope that the ancestors and the ancestors will bless, so that my emperor is safe and smooth, so that the Liang Jin Ou is eternal, the country is long, and the unfilial descendants Xiao Jingyuan respects the book. ”

When the voice came out, the queen, the crown prince, and the group of people kneeling down in the square shouted: "May the golden ou of the beam be forever solid, and the country will be long!" ”

Emperor Jing got up, everyone got up, Emperor Jing handed over the confession to Yonghui and asked Yonghui to burn it in the golden basin!

Emperor Jing whispered in Yonghui's ear: "Hui'er, a hundred years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, you are the only one who enters the Taimiao to pay tribute, and in the future, the Taimiao of the Wei Kingdom, my father hopes that you will preside over the sacrifice!" ”

Yonghui nodded: "Daughter, remember!" ”

Yonghui slowly walked to the golden basin and burned the confession in her hand, and this scene seemed to the queen like an iron block blocking her chest, for the next twenty-three years, the burning of the confession was never presided over by her, and the first woman to do this today was actually Yonghui.

Emperor Jing took Yonghui and Xiao Siyu's hands and walked out of the Taimiao Hall, looking at the kneeling ministers, Emperor Jing whispered in Xiao Siyu's ear, "Yu'er, look down, remember this feeling." ”

Xiao Siyu looked around and said a little timidly: "Father, my son doesn't understand!" ”

Emperor Jing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, one day you will understand, let's go to the Temple of Heaven with your father to worship the heavens, Yu'er will be presided over by you this time." ”

The prince's face behind him is extremely ugly, there have always been many cases where the prince sacrifices to the heavens, but he has been a prince for fifteen years, and he has never had a chance, and what his father said today made him feel a little resentful and sad.

……

On the altar of heaven, Lu Shen stood under the altar and shouted: "The eldest princess of Yonghui is a thousand years old, and the king of Yong is a thousand years old, go to the altar to worship the sky!" ”

From the top of the Temple of Heaven along the white marble stairs towards the sky, spread a hundred zhang red blanket, Princess Yonghui with a phoenix crown to the sky, wearing a 9 zhang vermilion bird gold silk phoenix robe, King Yong with the prince nine crowns, wearing a four-clawed gold silk 9 dragon robe, slowly up along the royal road to the sky, the Liang Lile sounded, the ministers knelt, and the mountain shouted: "Congratulations to the eldest princess of Yonghui for a thousand years, congratulations to the king of Yonghui for a thousand years!" ”

King Yong walked up to the top of the altar, took the sacrificial book from Emperor Jing's hand, and stood in the altar and read it aloud

"Xiao Siyu, the seventh son of Emperor Daliang, on behalf of my emperor, respectfully told the sky and the earth, the land of Shenzhou is sinking, the wars are chaotic, the people are lost, they are displaced, they are displaced, and the common people are unfortunate, and they are guilty of the king."

Thinking of this, Xiao Siyu suddenly listened, is this a guilty edict from his father? And it was also a proclamation to the heavens, and the queen, the prince, and the ministers were also a little stunned.

Xiao Siyu looked back at his father, Emperor Jing bowed slightly, and motioned for Xiao Siyu to continue reading.

Xiao Siyu turned around and read aloud: "My sin lies in not having the Mandate of Heaven, the Mandate of Heaven is divided into the north and the south, not in the war and seeking unification, but in line with its culture, its economy, the peace of the north and the south, and the benefit of its people, hundreds of years later, the world is at peace, and Shenzhou will be together, this is the way of heaven, I am single-minded, regardless of the suffering of the people, this sin is also, but today Liang and Wei are united in righteousness, each other is a family, I marry Wei with a daughter, and take a son as Weizi. ”

Cui Xiang muttered in Xie Xiang's ear: "Old Xie, it seems that Your Majesty has no heart for Wei in his lifetime!" ”

Xie Xiang smiled slightly: "Show your heart, Emperor An'an Wei's heart, good things are coming, the princess and the Seventh Highness will have a better life." ”

Cui Xiang nodded: "That's right!" ”

Tuoba Hong, who was waiting outside the Temple of Heaven, also heard the content of the proclamation passed down layer by layer, and Li Cunxiao exclaimed: "Big brother, Emperor Liang is swearing to heaven, it seems that it is difficult for the two countries to have a war." ”

Tuoba Hong nodded: "It is estimated that the father and those adults will also feel at ease, in fact, the father has already made arrangements, and since Liang Guo has expressed his position today, we must also make a statement." ”

Luo Kedi was still confused: "Big brother, what kind of attitude do we want to express." ”

Tuoba Hong smiled: "Wait for Emperor Liang to summon me to the altar." ”

On the Temple of Heaven, Xiao Siyu burned the sacrificial book and offered three more animals, and Emperor Jing said to Yonghui: "Hui'er, Yu'er, kneel!" ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu stepped forward and knelt down, Lu Shen came over with plates, and placed three bowls at the door, containing a bowl of white rice, a bowl of rapeseed oil, and a bowl of soil.

Emperor Jing first grabbed a handful of white rice, sprinkled it on Yonghui, and said: "Go, go, don't forget the grace of the country!" ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu kowtowed and cried in unison: "Children, you will not forget the grace of your homeland!" ”

Emperor Jing dipped his thumb in oil again, wiped it on the foreheads of the two of them, and said: "Oil and body, blood blending, don't forget the kindness of your parents, don't forget your ancestors!" ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu kowtowed and cried in unison: "Child, remember the bloodline given by your father!" ”

Emperor Jing grabbed another handful of soil, put it into two sachets, hung it between the feet of the two, and said: "Don't forget where the roots are?" ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu kowtowed and cried in unison: "Child, never forget your roots, thousands of miles away from home, and cherish your homeland." ”

Emperor Jing shouted three times: "Good, good, good!" ”

The six eunuchs stepped forward, and Emperor Jing took three things and gave them to Yonghui: "Hui'er, give your father the seal of the eldest princess, nine phoenixes, and nine phoenix crowns; You are the eldest princess of me, the eldest princess of Daliang, I hope you will remember that in the future, in the world of the mother of Wei, you will spread the virtues of benevolence! ”

Yonghui nodded: "Father, the son remembers it!" ”

Emperor Jing took three more things and gave them to Xiao Siyu: "Yu'er, for your father, I will give you the seal of Prince Liang Guoyong, give the prince nine dragons, and give you the jade nine dragon belt, you have grown up, and your words and deeds in Wei not only represent the demeanor of Liang Guo, but also represent the demeanor of your Wei country, I hope you will grow up!" ”

Xiao Siyu nodded: "Father, the son will be." ”

Emperor Jing said loudly: "Don't forget your homeland when you go to Hui'er and Yu'er, you should think of the common people, and you should cultivate friendship between the two countries for generations." ”

Yonghui and Xiao Siyu shouted in unison: "The sons should remember the teachings of their father, they will not forget their homeland, they will think of the common people, and they will stop the friendship between the two countries for generations." ”

"Wine."

Lu Shen ordered the eunuch to serve the resignation wine, His Majesty drank it all, the princess drank it all, it was Xiao Siyu's turn, Xiao Siyu said: "Father, please ask your son to have three cups." ”

Emperor Jing instructed Lu Shen to prepare two more glasses, and soon the three glasses of wine were ready.

Xiao Siyu raised a cup and said: "The sons can't be filial piety by their father's side, after today, they will be uneasy day and night. "Drink it all.

Xiao Siyu raised the second cup and said: "Once you go thousands of miles, the old country is unforgettable, and you can't share the worries for the country and fulfill your responsibilities for your father, and the sons and daughters feel ashamed." Then he drank the second cup.

Xiao Siyu picked up the last cup: "Shenzhou is cracked, the people are bitter, I hope that the sons and daughters will be weak in the body, if they can do their best, they should live up to their father's teachings." After drinking the last cup, I looked up and burst into tears.

Emperor Jing picked up Yonghui and Xiao Siyu, approached and whispered to Xiao Siyu: "Yu'er has grown up, don't be a child, the wanderer must return when he is far away, remember to protect himself, when there is a storm." ”

He also told Yonghui: "Take care of your seventh brother." ”

Yonghui nodded: "Erchen will!" ”

……

Outside the Temple of Heaven, Tuoba Hong and the others were still waiting, and at this time, a voice came: "The King of Wei and Jin has come to the altar to proclaim!" ”

Tuoba Hong looked back and smiled: "It's here!" ”

Tuoba Hong ascended the Temple of Heaven and read out the letter to heaven on behalf of the Wei State, and also expressed his willingness to swear by heaven and forever tie the friendship between the two countries.

The two knelt down again and resigned, and the eldest Shi Lu Shen read: "Congratulations to the eldest princess of Yonghui Liang for a thousand years, and for the king of Yong, a thousand years old."

The music started, the two went down along the road to heaven, the music of the Taichen Palace started, the east pole bell of the Taichen Hall rang 12 times, and the west pole drum also rang 12 times, the princess, King Yong boarded the chariot,

He Yuenlong shouted three times: "Return to !!! Return!!!! Return!!!! ”

Three thousand relatives and guards shouted together: "Return to !!! Return!!!! Return!!!! ”

In the eyes of everyone, the convoy slowly walked out of Chaotianmen along the royal road.
