Yu Yueyun is Mrs. Hou? This is the position of the main palace, commanding all the affairs of the later dynasty, and is the mother of the Xia country.

Hearing the canonization of this edict, the civil and military officials all looked down at each other, and it was obvious that everyone was a little hesitant.

For a while, there was a little cold in the court, and no one was edicted.

It is not unreasonable for the Cabinet to discuss today's Pilgrimage, because a very suitable candidate has appeared.

Two days before the ceremony, the envoy of Liang State, on behalf of Liang Hou, proposed the marriage to the monarchs and ministers of Xia State.

Zhao Qi wanted to marry his second daughter Zhao Ci to Zhou Bai to pave the way for the subsequent alliance between the two countries.

The daughter of the princes, the dignified county lord, is very suitable in terms of identity, not to mention that Zhao Ci has already been famous.

It is rumored that it was born with the shadow of a bird, and the song of Luan lingered around the beam for three days.

When he grew up, he tried to compose poems on the spot with Liangzhou Xie Yuan, and compared them with a group of people, but they did not fall behind, and they became famous in Liangzhou.

It was said at the time that if a woman participated in the imperial examination, then Zhao Ci would definitely be able to enter high school, after all, his father was the king of Xiyuan County at that time, and he was not lucky.

Then, coupled with her stunning appearance that was occasionally revealed, the reputation of the Heavenly Destiny Phoenix Maiden soon spread throughout the northern realm, and even heard of it in the Shenjing Palace.

When the people of the phoenix life are together with the people of the latent dragon life, the dragon and the phoenix converge, nourish the natal life, and gather the luck of the eight directions.

There is no shortage of hidden dragons in history, and after marrying the daughter of the phoenix's destiny, he was assisted by his destiny and luck, and became auspicious in distress, achieving great things in one fell swoop.

It stands to reason that Zhao Ci, a noble woman like Zhao Ci, is usually sent to the palace as the emperor's concubine.

This is the unspoken rule of the true dragon passed down from generation to generation, once it is not allowed to marry into the people, it may cause unforeseen disasters.

Even if it is not the hidden dragon marrying the phoenix lady, the general hero will get a lot of benefits, and even breed ambition and improve his pattern of matching the phoenix girl.

Fortunately, when Zhao Ci became famous and leaked the traces of his life, Daxu was already in decline, and his momentum was not as good as that of Eleven in his heyday.

Moreover, Zhao Qi himself is the king of Xiyuan County in the real power fief, and he insists on protecting his baby girl, and the old emperor really won't force him to marry.

The Destiny Phoenix Girl is not listed as the main palace, can she still marry her later? Can Liang Guo's ally be missed in vain?

This is the reason why the ministers are hesitant, they are not disrespectful to Yu Yueyun, the main mother, but in terms of national interests, is it not as good as Zhao Ci.

Yu Yueyun and Zhou Bai have a very strong relationship, love and harmony, and they are often outside your lord and my lord, which is something that the subjects of the foreign dynasty know.

Coupled with the body of a real person, he can make up for the defects of his background, and it is not indispensable to become Mrs. Hou.

However, Zhou Bai was a little impatient with this scene, and this is where to go.

has just become a vassal state, a bit of an orthodox shelf, you guys play the selfless affairs of the heavenly family for me?

"Hmph."

With a cold snort, he woke up everyone in confusion, and Zhou Yuan, who rushed back from the front line of the border city, took the lead in standing up.

"Zhou Yuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, is edicted."

"The minister doesn't know what is a long-distance and close attack, the minister only knows that many disabled sons and daughters in the army were rescued by the master's mother, and the minister also knows that the master's mother has been in the rear more than once, and she has also secretly supported the army to travel more than once."

Zhou Yuan said, looking back at the ministers who bowed their heads, and then bowed in the direction of the apse.

Some military cabinet bigwigs took the lead in agreeing, and the generals were edicted one after another.

The Wenchen looked at the other two purple-robed Zaifu, hoping that they could top one, in their slightly traditional thinking, Yu Yueyun, as the head of the Taoist group, had too much power and was not suitable to be the mother of the country.

However, they never expected that the second person to stand up and serve the edict was Chen Zhongbang, who also chose to honor Yueyun, and also explained the reason.

He personally raised funds and supervised the establishment of Salesian homes, solvers, and other welfare institutions, so that orphaned children, widows, and lonely people could have a place to go and hope for survival.

Such a kind and compassionate person can afford to be the mother of the Great Xia Kingdom.

"Chen Zhongbang, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers, is edicted, see the mother of the country."

He didn't give an edict immediately, but he just expressed his opinion, and as the first assistant, he stood on the overall situation level to remind Renjun.

But if Zhou Bai wants to implement his will, how can he be tough and stubborn, Yu Yueyun as the mother of the country will not bring disadvantages to Xia Guo.

Yiwen and Wuwu The two cabinet bigwigs have spoken, and the rest of the officials will have strengths, and they are a little dissatisfied without looking at the princes.

From ancient times to the present, what the founding monarch wants to do, few of his ministers can stop him, and Xia Guo is no exception.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty all obeyed the edict, and in the end, even the Yin Mu of the "old-fashioned" faction shouted the edict and accepted the reality.

Maybe the mother-in-law who wins the hearts of the people may not be worse than the role of the noble daughter of the phoenix?

"Yueyun has the support of all the Qings, so the Ministry of Rites will set a date and prepare for the wedding process as soon as possible."

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the envoys of the Liang State hurriedly asked to see Zhou Bai.

"Isn't Junhou Mo going to be a mortal enemy with my Daliang?" The meeting place was the imperial study, and there were no outsiders, so the messenger came up to the point and asked in a low voice.

His face turned red, obviously because he was angry in his heart, and now he was just forcibly suppressing it.

If it weren't for the fact that Xia Guo had already made a name for himself in several nearby states, and the country's strength was here, according to his temper towards other small countries in Liangzhou, he would have pointed his nose and scolded.

The voice of the diplomat still comes from the country behind him.

"Why did you say that? Xia and Liang have always been good friends, and they have been traveling endlessly, so how could Lone be willing to make enemies with Liang. Zhou Bai glanced at the information on the table, pretending not to know.

If the envoy is a real person in the Three Realms and can withstand the pressure of dragon qi, he can use his divine sense to see what is written on the information at this time.

On April 10, the general of the Jin State led 3,000 horsemen to the south, aiming directly at Liangzhou.

The generals of the border pass of the Liang State neglected to supervise, and were found by the abrupt children to make a detour into the pass, and within three days, they ran south for hundreds of miles, attacked more than 12 towns, and killed and injured more than 10,000 Liang people.

On April 16, Tuwu'er returned north smoothly with maps and treasures, but the Liang army was heavily intercepted, but the thousand horsemen still escaped.

The truth of the emptiness in the northern part of the Liang Kingdom was discovered by the Jin Kingdom, and Hu Yanhe immediately made a decision and gave up gnawing on Zhou Bai's hard bone first.

Instead, he personally led 50,000 directly subordinate iron cavalry and 100,000 allied troops of various ministries to launch a southern invasion offensive against Liang.

At this time, the Liang army was heavily in the south of Liangzhou, and the northern counties could not withstand the attack of the 150,000 Jin army, so Zhao Qi could only mobilize troops with all his strength while striving for assistance from external forces.

The two prefectures of Ding and Liang belong to the north and are adjacent to the Jin State, but the northern part of Liangzhou is poor, and the water and grass nearby are not abundant.

Therefore, most of the time, the Jin army and various tribes chose to invade Dingzhou in the south, and the former Cangbei County did not know how much blood was released to the Jin State.

Especially in the past two years of internal fighting in Jin, Zhao Qi was bent on attacking the prosperous land in the south of Liangzhou.

Over time, the Liang people, including Zhao Qi himself, relaxed their vigilance against the Jin State.

Therefore, only 3,000 iron horsemen can take advantage of the situation and kill back and forth in the north of Liangzhou.

Of course, there is no reason why Jin Guo's luck is flourishing, otherwise why would it happen that he was suddenly found in the empty area to break through.

Don't look at the transfer of the front army of the Liang State back to the northern border pass, it is far shorter than the southern invasion of Huyanhe's 150,000 army, but it can't stand that these 150,000 are all cavalry.

Coupled with the revival of the aura, the geographical environment of the Tian Yuan Continent has changed dramatically, and the barren desert near Liangzhou has become an excellent pasture with abundant water and grass.

The 15th Jin Army can completely drive a large number of cattle and sheep to carry out large-scale operations like migration, and there is no need to worry about logistics.

By the time the envoy arrived at Xia on April 25 to propose the marriage, the former army of Jin had already occupied the northern border of Liang, and it was seen that a large amount of wealth and population were about to be lost.

Since there is a request for people, then it is impossible for Liang Guo to fall out with Xia Guo, and Liang Envoy is just pretending to be a little.

This is not Zhou Bai pretended not to know, and Liang Envoy could only forcibly borrow the slope to get off the donkey, and arched his hand: "My lord is full of sincerity and wants to marry, but the prince wants to marry at this time, and does not give any opportunity to discuss......"

Without waiting for the envoy to finish speaking, Zhou Bai directly interrupted: "The wife of the dregs does not go to the court, I heard that after the death of Mrs. Liang Hou, there has never been a concubine in the harem, and she must be a person of deep love." ”

"And Gu and Yueyun have already married in private, and getting married after the establishment is just a natural thing, and there is nothing to change."

"This, this, my county lord was born with a phoenix life, is it possible to succumb to the position of concubine? That's impossible! Liang was in a state of confusion, a little afraid that he would not be able to complete his mission.

Zhou Bai smiled slightly, and said softly: "Your envoy can go back and inform Liang Hou and the county lord that if the marriage continues, Gu Ye can only promise the position of side concubine." However, the Lone Club is hired with the six rites of Guxia, although there is no golden seal of the mother of the country, there is also a golden book to rely on. ”

The Six Rites of Formal Appointment is a formal ceremony for the ancient Xia nobles to marry their wives, which shows that Zhou Bai still respects Liang Guo very much, and he is not deliberately humiliating.

And the golden book is also a rare honor in the monarch's harem, usually only the favored concubines.

For example, the princes and concubines, the side concubines hold the golden book, which is equivalent to the first under the lady, and also has part of the power of the later dynasty, and the personal luck blessing they have is far beyond that of ordinary concubines.

If the lady in charge of the later dynasty imposes a minor punishment on the concubine who holds the gold book, she must report it to the prince afterwards, and if a more severe admonition is imposed, it must be approved by the prince in advance.

"The prince has a heart." Liang Envoy was quite moved, bowed and saluted.

The side concubine holding the golden book, compared with the emperor's harem, is the imperial concubine, known as the "deputy queen".

In fact, this was Yu Yueyun's initiative to mention to Zhou Bai, she felt that she needed time to cultivate the Dao, and she had to take charge of the Pipe Sect, and she really needed someone to help her in everything in the later dynasty.

The two never doubted that it was only each other who accompanied each other to preach the Tao, and the oath of the Taoist couple with heaven and earth as the witness was not a joke.

"Liang Hou sent you, in addition to marriage, there must be other important things, right?"

Without waiting for Liang to organize the language, if he wanted to be more euphemistic, Zhou Bai had already gotten straight to the point: "Regardless of whether the marriage is successful or not, my Great Xia will send troops, not only to reward the goodwill expressed by Liang when the two countries blocked the trade route between Dingnan and Dingnan before, but also to curb the rise of grassland power." ”

……

Yu Yueyun's adoptive parents are dead, and she has been cultivating since she was a child, so she is relatively indifferent to these mundane rituals.

But as Mrs. Hou Junzheng and the mother of the Xia Kingdom, the etiquette that should be there is indispensable, and Zhou Bai will not be in short supply.

The big house of the Zhou nationality is the mother's family, and the friendly elders are the elders, and the six ceremonies are hired.

The monarch's wedding, the process of the six rites, is to participate in the ceremonial tribe and the clan together as men.

Na Cai, with a goose as a courtesy, went to propose; Ask for a name, prepare a goose again, go to the woman's house to ask for a name; Najib, the man's ancestral shrine divination, Bu De auspicious omen prepared for the goose to tell the woman's house; Recruitment, giving a dowry, and formalizing the marriage relationship; The invitation date, the man is auspicious, and sends the woman's family to ask for consent to the marriage date.

Because the country was initially decided, the process was greatly simplified.

The first five of the six rites were quickly completed, and the auspicious day of the zodiac determined by the Ministry of Rites was May 10.

On 5 May, Zhou Bai ordered Chu Kai, the commander of the Ma Army, to go to Baishazhou to train cavalry, and the task was to expand the number of cavalry to 10,000 with 2,000 veterans as the backbone.

After taking the border city and county and controlling the five departments outside the Saiwai, the soldiers who passed the riding skills abounded, and it was only expanded to 10,000 horses for the time being, or because there were not enough qualified war horses.

Then Zhou Bai personally practiced for the expeditionary force, and he named Huo Feiguang as the captain of Bi Yao, leading 3,000 light cavalry and 500 Jiao cavalry, and sent troops to the Cangbei grassland.

There is no specific task, it all depends on their free play, even if they kill at the foot of Yin Mountain, there will be no gold medal to recruit them to return to China.

If you can, try to stay in the core area of Jin for a few more days, and bring back some of the main forces that invaded Liangzhou.

These 3,500 people were all equipped with the most elite weapons and equipment, and in order to ensure their logistics, Zhou Bai even handed over the military grain bag to Huo Feiguang.

Just for Huo Feiguang, a natural horseman, he can play his full strength and not be limited by logistical factors.

Who made Zhou Bai always have an expectation in his heart, the same surname Huo, why can't he have a Huo Huqi......

On May 10, a good day and an auspicious day came.

The sixth ceremony was greeted in person, and on this day, Zhou Bai went to the woman's house to greet him.

The convoy of relatives is just like the cards of the princes, "one hundred taels of Peng Peng, eight Luan Qiang", and the relatives of the female family who sent off the relatives are also "Qi Qi is like a cloud", and the front of the door is bright.

However, what catches the eye is not this big scene, but the scene of the dragon flying out of the palace city, and dozens of psychic white cranes with various spiritual fruits in their mouths, this is the real welcoming team.

"Look, the prince is on it, this is an unusual road."

"Of course, you don't know, the prince and his wife are both real people, and they live with the country."

"If Great Xia can dominate the Central Plains, it will not take three hundred years, and the prince will only need to rule for one hundred years, and my Great Xia will also be an unprecedented prosperous dynasty......"

The people of Xia Kingdom, looking at the heavenly fairy-like welcoming procession, were extremely excited and proud, full of reverie and expectation for the future.

The sun is in the sky, and the dragon is blue.

When Zhou Bai and Yu Yueyun returned in the same dragon, the sky was full of red silk and joy.

Everywhere you go, there will be Lingmi Lingguo and even Lingelan produced in Cangshan to share the joy of the wedding with the people of Xia Kingdom.

Dingzhou City, the lanterns are colorful, a hundred operas are sung, and the subjects are jubilant.

The phoenix crown is full of stars and moons, Qingrui Yingluo is full of clouds, the corridor of the makeup building, the palace is brightly lit, and the flowers are clustered.

In the wedding hall, the vermilion bed, the night is like a curtain, and the red candles are green and dusty.

A wisp of breeze fluttered into the clouds, soaring up to the clouds, and the taste was not spoken to outsiders during the period.
