Chapter 614: The Big Wedding

Cheng Yanjin originally wanted to marry his daughter in a beautiful way, but because of the Northwest War, Li Xiang had already issued an edict to the world, and everything was simple, if Cheng Yanjin was unwilling, wouldn't it be on the opposite side of the people in the world?

At that time, when Li Xiang said this, Li Shimin didn't think much about it, but felt that Li Xiang cared about the war in the northwest, so he readily agreed, in Li Shimin's view, the grandson's marriage to a daughter-in-law and the expansion of the territory are completely different things, and the expansion of the territory is the most important, not to mention delaying Li Xiang's marriage to his daughter-in-law, even if Li Shimin marries a daughter-in-law, it can be delayed, this is the true idea of a practical emperor.

But soon Li Shimin found out that something was wrong, because the people in the world are singing praises to Li Xiang, they regard Li Xiang as an idol in their hearts, for the sake of the country's major affairs, even their own marriage can be simply done, is there still such a person in the world?

Many ordinary people think of some nobles' families doing things, even if there is a flood next to them, these nobles' families are still living well, and they don't care about the lives of the people at all.

Li Shimin felt that there was something strange about this matter, so he asked his subordinates to investigate, and as a result, the entire Chang'an City was almost turned out, and he didn't find any smell of conspiracy here, and those who praised Li Xiang were all from the heart, not organized by Li Xiang himself at all.

It was from this time that Li Shimin found that his path might be wrong, not all people were full of conspiracy, and some people really wanted to do something for the Tang Dynasty, such as his eldest grandson Li Xiang.

However, the time is urgent, and there is no effort to let Li Shimin think about these things here, although everything is simple, but after all, it is the imperial grandson of the Tang Dynasty to marry his daughter-in-law, so there must be all the procedures that should be there, but he doesn't care about those so-called days, and what was originally done in three days is now done in one day.

The East Palace and Cheng Yanjin's home are two places for banquets, the royal family all go to the East Palace to drink, and the court ministers all go to Cheng Yanjin's house to drink, which is also some of the past conventions, if it is not like this, it will bring difficulties to the people in the court.

If they go to the East Palace to drink, it will be tantamount to offending Cheng Yanjin, but if they go to Cheng Yanjin to drink, it will be tantamount to offending Li Chengqian.

Taking a step back, if all the dignitaries and nobles in Chang'an City went to one place to drink, whether it was the East Palace or Cheng Yanjin's house, I am afraid that there would not be so many people, and even so, many banquets would be placed in the courtyard.

Of course, these people who are drinking in the courtyard have no complaints, and it is already quite a good thing to be able to have a place here, do you think this is an ordinary wedding banquet? This is the wedding banquet of the grandson of the Tang Dynasty, you can have a glass of wine here, and you can brag about it for a long time when you go back.

Of course, Li Xiang did not forget the brothers in the army who fought with him bloodily, on the day of Li Xiang's marriage, those who had followed Li Xiang to the front line received a small red envelope, although the money was not very much, but this means that His Royal Highness Taisun has not forgotten them.

In addition, the families of those soldiers who died in battle, they received rich gifts on this day, which is owed to them by His Royal Highness Taisun, according to Li Xiang, they left Chang'an City with me full of hope, and now they have not returned from the front line, although Li Xiang is not to blame for this matter, but Li Xiang still feels ashamed of these brothers.

If you want to put it in the 21st century, Li Xiang's practices are actually very normal, if he doesn't do this, then some trolls on the Internet may spray it to death, but now it is the Tang Dynasty more than a thousand years ago, no one has ever done this before, you died on the battlefield, it can only be said that you are unlucky, and the court did not give you a pension, after this pension, everything in your family will have nothing to do with the court and the generals who lead you in the future.

But Li Xiang didn't do this, he has always been very responsible for recording the list of all the soldiers who died in battle, including those who are disabled and can't live, Li Xiang used Zhidao Bao to make a lot of money, and a large part of this money was used to subsidize them.

Many people think that Li Xiang is a fool, is it any use for you to buy the hearts of these people? Their family is just some orphans and widows, and when something really happens one day, these people can't help you.

But now those who laughed at Li Xiang closed their mouths, although Li Xiang bought these orphans and widows, but it was for those in the army to see, after they knew about it, they also worked even more hard for Li Xiang in the war, because they knew in their hearts that if they were martyred one day, Li Xiang would never treat his family badly.

Sixteen sedan chairs set off from Cheng Biting Jin's house, along the way through the most prosperous streets in the capital, Li Xiang rode a high-headed horse in front, and the children of various families in the capital gathered around, although the various ceremonies were slightly simpler, but if these people appeared, it was definitely the number one in Chang'an City, and almost every family had a young man with a head and a face.

Li Shimin was also very happy, he came to the East Palace with the harem concubines early, Li Chengqian had already dressed up here, all kinds of things had already been purchased, just waiting for that day, who knew that the day was ahead, at most, it was to borrow some servants from other palaces, they didn't need to be busy with these pillars, all the things were busy with the people below.

Li Shimin asked Li Chengqian to greet others, at this time we are all our own people, according to the common people, Li Shimin can't sit in the house, he also has to greet others at the door, after all, he is the grandfather of the groom, but Li Shimin is now the emperor, naturally he doesn't need to do this, just honestly wait for the guests to kowtow to him.

After Cheng Biting Jin sent away his daughter, he was indeed a little disappointed in his heart, marrying a daughter and marrying a daughter-in-law are completely different things, but soon the noble sons and daughters of Chang'an City came to drink, Cheng Biting Jin's loss did not last for a stick of incense, and he was already pulled by his old brother to fight for wine.
