Chapter 377: Evergreen Cloud Wedding
King Xing got up with Lu Bing's support. Then King Xing gently shook off Lu Bing's hand and forced out a smile: "Lonely is not old, he can walk by himself." ”
King Xing has just passed his fortieth birthday. But looking at his steps, he staggered like a septuagenarian.
After King Xing left, Zhu Houxi and Lu Bing flew kites for a while.
Three of Zhu Houxi's personal eunuchs walked over. Among them, the thinnest is Lu Fang. The fat and bloated is Huang Jin. The tallest is McFu.
Of the three, McFuy is the oldest and the most assertive. He is the backbone of the three eunuchs.
McFuy arched his hand: "Shizi, you should go to Mr. Liang's side to study."
McFuy is a bit like the attacker in the later "Dream of Red Mansions". Always persuade their master to read more and be motivated.
In fact, for Zhu Houxi, reading is not a painful thing. Because his husband Liang Zhu likes to teach him the strange things in "Zhuangzi" and "Classic of Mountains and Seas". Liang Zhu talks about books, and he can often talk about him fascinatingly.
Zhu Houxi has always regarded Liang Zhu's class as listening to stories, which is full of fun.
McFuy reminded him to go to class. He collected the kite string, and then said to Lu Bing: "Let's go, let's go to class!" Just now my father asked me how high the sky was. I'm just going to ask Mr. Liang again. ”
King Xing's treatment of Lu Song's father and son is indeed higher than the sky. He even asked Lu Bing to take classes with Zhu Houxi, the prince of the Tang Dynasty. And Lu Bing is as a classmate, not a scholar or a companion.
The three eunuchs waited for Zhu Houxi to enter Liang Zhu's "Education School". The three of them were idle and sat down under the big willow tree at the entrance of the Yuxue Hall.
Mai Fu said: "The three of us are like Liu Guanzhang in the Three Kingdoms, although we are not related, we get along all day and night. It's like a brother. ”
"Since we're brothers, I won't hide it. Something strange happened to me recently. ”
Lu Fang asked, "Oh? What happened to the eldest brother? ”
Mai Fu said: "Yang Yingchang, the governor of Zhejiang, sent someone to find me and gave me five thousand taels of silver. ”
Huang Jin was kind and simple-hearted, and he smiled: "Aha. The eldest brother now has a feudal official to give gifts! What a gratifying congratulations! ”
McFuy said, "What is there to congratulate." Don't you think it's weird? ”
Lu Fang was very scheming and silent. Huang Jinxin said bluntly: "Oh? What's the weird thing? ”
McFuk said eloquently: "It is not uncommon for feudal officials to give gifts to eunuchs. But they often gave gifts to the father-in-law in the palace. ”
"Have you ever seen a gift to a father-in-law in the palace of a vassal king? Our prince never cares about government affairs and military affairs on weekdays, and only indulges in calligraphy and painting. ”
"And I'm just the eldest companion of the son. Even in our Xing Palace, it is not a great eunuch. ”
"The governor of a province, what do you want to take out a large sum of five thousand taels and give it to a little-known eunuch of the vassal king's mansion?"
Lu Fang finally spoke: "Big brother." If you don't talk about this, I really can't talk about it. I also received a gift recently! ”
"Ying Tian Governor Huang Renchang sent someone to send me three thousand taels of silver."
McFuy said, "Oh? He didn't say why he gave you money? ”
Lu Fang replied: "It's strange that he didn't let me do anything." ”
McFuk said: "Officials give gifts, which are divided into two types: urgent gifts and slow gifts. The so-called urgent gift is what tricky things they have encountered. Give gifts to those who can help them. ”
"The so-called slow courtesy. It's that they see someone with a great future and want to make friends for a long time. When that person is prosperous in the future, he will be able to help him. ”
"The two gifts I received from you should be slow gifts."
Huang Jindao: "Big brother, second brother." I'm not going to hide it from you. I also recently received a gift. The prefect of Changsha sent me 1,000 taels of silver. ”
McFuy said: "It's really weird. The three of us are only serving the prince of the domain. It's not the prince of the East Palace. Why do these powerful magistrates give us slow gifts to make friends? ”
"It's a strange thing. Let's not tell anyone about it. ”
Lu Fang said: "I was introduced by the wife of the Marquis of Jinyi Wei Chang to enter our palace. I think I should write a letter to inform Chang Hou Ye of this strange matter. ”
Mai Fu said: "The Changhou of Jinyiwei has every opportunity. Where can I care about the trivial things in the palace of Guangxing, thousands of miles away? Don't bother him. ”
"Hengzhu, the three of us should be careful in the future. There are things to ventilate with each other. ”
Lu Fang asked, "What about the silver for us?" ”
McFuy said: "Let's take the silver." In officialdom, if you don't take anyone's money, you will offend anyone. As far as the identity of the three of us is concerned, where did we offend those feudal officials? ”
"Let's see what they do."
All three of them are teenagers, and their scheming and vision are immature.
Taking a step back, even if Chang Feng knew about this, an old fox like him couldn't guess what the feudal officials wanted. Or, Chang Feng didn't expect how bold the civil officials were.
From the perspective of God in the Hereafter. First, Emperor Zhengde had seriously endangered the interests of the civilian clique at this time.
Second, Emperor Zhengde was not selfish. If one day "dies of a violent illness", only one of the close cousins can be chosen to ascend the throne.
Third, King Xing is the uncle of Emperor Zhengde. The prince Zhu Houxi is a close cousin of Emperor Zhengde.
Fourth, looking at the vassal kings all over the world, the most famous is King Xing. King Xing is virtuous and is a well-known virtuous king.
Fifth, and most important. If Emperor Zhengde returns to heaven, he will choose a new emperor from among his close cousins. It is better to choose the one whose biological father is deceased. Save the Ming Dynasty from having an extra emperor out of thin air. And King Xing's body is not good, and he often suffers from diseases, unlike the appearance of longevity, Jiangnan officialdom knows it.
The reason why the feudal officials placed bets in advance and sent silver to make friends with the three personal eunuchs around Zhu Houxi is self-evident.
There is only one possibility. The civil officials expected that the body would be great, and the food would be fragrant, and the dragon spirit and tiger would be able to control the four daughters in one night, and the Zhengde Emperor who could cut people in Yingzhou would die soon.
Or rather, they want Emperor Zhengde to die soon
Let's talk about the capital. Half a month later, the Changfu put up lanterns and feasted. The marquis's grandson evergreen cloud wedding is today!
This big wedding shocked most of the capital. It is not a wedding of the children of the close relatives in the slightest.
Fortunately, the Marquis Mansion given to Changfeng by Emperor Zhengde was large enough. There were no less than 1,000 nobles, civil officials, military generals, eunuchs, and factory and health officials who came to congratulate him, and they filled the Marquis' Mansion.
Emperor Zhengde also specially appointed the Han general of the Jinyi Guard to be Changqingyun's honor guard. Chang Qingyun rode a high-headed horse, majestic, and went to the Dingguo Mansion to greet his relatives with joy.
The onlookers along the way whispered: "Who is marrying, such a big scene?" ”
"The grandson of the butcher of the Jinyi Wei often marries. Married to the descendant of Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, the young lady of the Dingguo Mansion. ”
"No wonder! In addition to the royal family, the Chang family put on such a big scene. ”
"It's really a fateful time! It is said that more than 30 years ago, Chang Butcher was just a little-known general flag in Jinyiwei, jumping into the dung pit to find silver. Who would have thought that he would be able to mix in the color he is today. ”
"No, the Chang family's power is so big now!"
"Stop talking. The ears and eyes of the Jinyi guard are all over the capital, and they are pervasive. Let's not be arrested and put in prison for talking too much! ”。
A short, coarse-clothed man suddenly spoke: "I heard everything you just said. Rest assured, our Commander Wei Liqian gave the order today. On the day of Chang Xiaoye's wedding, Jinyiwei did not arrest people. ”
Listening to the tone, this person is the eyes and ears of Jinyiwei's "pervasive".
Let's say that Chang Qingyun came to the gate of Dingguo Gong. The one who followed him to greet him was his righteous Boyou Jingwu.
The people entered the Guogong Mansion. In the front yard, I met Grandpa Xu Guangzuo.
I saw Xu Fatzi holding a big stick. Behind him stood twenty helpers armed with large sticks. These people are all young nobles who are good friends with Xu Guangzuo on weekdays, and they are all strong and healthy.
Chang Qingyun hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to Xu Guangzuo: "Son-in-law to meet Old Taishan!" ”
Xu Guangzuo sneered: "Heh, don't be in a hurry to call me Old Taishan first." Boy, if you want to marry my Xu family girl, I'm afraid it's not so easy! You've got to be able to get past my big stick! ”
You Jingwu shouted: "Master Xu, aren't you a strong man!" Qingyun is only thirteen. How can he defeat the stick formation of more than 20 of you! I'm afraid I'll be beaten by you and my nose will be bruised and swollen and I won't be able to get out of bed! ”
"Master Xu, you don't want to make the love cave room spend candle nights, guarding a groom official who is covered in pain and moaning!"
Xu Guangzuo said: "Then I don't care!" If you can break through my stick formation, I will be his father-in-law. If he can't break through, he doesn't have the ability to do it himself! ”
"He's got a. I think I was on an errand under his grandfather, and his grandfather didn't let Lao Tzu jump into the dung pit. This time I can finally get revenge. ”
You Jingwu smiled: "Master Xu, let's discuss and discuss." It is indeed too embarrassing for one person to break into the big stick formation of twenty people alone. As. How about I pick four brothers and fight with Qingyun? ”
"Six against twenty, it's still you who take advantage."
Xu Guangzuo said: "Success!" But you have to be empty-handed! ”
You Jingwu nodded: "Okay, listen to Xu Ye!" ”
You Jingwu selected the captains of the four regiments and battalions under him, and told Chang Qingyun: "Qingyun, you will follow us when you break into battle for a while." We'll clear the way for you! ”
The two sides are in formation.
Xu Guangzuo's housekeeper shouted: "The battle begins!" ”
You Jingwu and the four regimental battalion captains were the elite of the elite of the Ming army. That's really the elite opening the door to the elite, and the elite is home.
On the other hand, Xu Guangzuo's side. Although the twenty young nobles are all tall and big, how can the nobles compete with the elite of the regiment and battalion?
You Jingwu shouted: "Take the stick first!" Above! ”
The five of them rushed forward, and Chang Qingyun followed behind them.
You Jingwu and the others were not in a hurry to break into battle. Instead, he relied on his good skills to win the big stick in the hands of the nobles.
The beginning of the "war" between the two sides. The nobles fell behind.
A moment later, You Jingwu's side seized the big sticks one by one.
Then You Jingwu shouted: "Five Peaks Array, press on!" ”
"Bang bang", the big stick fights with the big stick, making a muffled sound.
From time to time, the young nobles were hit in the thigh and arm by You Jingwu and others. Of course, this is just a joke when getting married. You Jingwu and the others did not make a dead move, and at most used two percent of their strength.
The young nobles suffered pain, and some threw down their sticks and became deserters. Some keep retreating.
Seeing this, Xu Guangzuo swung a big stick and attacked You Jingwu.
Xu Guangzuo is the same age as Chang Feng. is in his fifties, even if he is fat and healthy, he can't fight You Jingwu in the prime of life.
"Bang!" Xu Guangzuo's big stick was actually picked up by You Jingwu and flew into the air.
You Jingwu stabbed the big stick forward, and the head of the stick stopped precisely inches away from Xu Guangzuo's throat.
You Jingwu smiled: "Master Xu, you lost!" Faux pas. ”
Xu Guangzuo returned with a smile: "Well, a manly man, I am willing to lose the bet." Today is indeed a loss. Qingyun, go in and pick up the kiss! ”
The Marquis Mansion of Jin'an is in the east city, and the Mansion of Dingguo is in the west city. The two families are far apart.
Half an hour later, Chang Feng, who was looking forward to it at the gate of the mansion, finally saw the leader of the welcoming procession, fifty Han generals with full honor guards.
Chang Feng smiled: "It's coming." Fun, quick, play! ”
The musician of Taichang Temple shouted, "Rejoice, get up! ”
The musicians immediately began to blow the trumpet "dripping and pulling, dripping and pulling".
The rules of marriage in the Ming Dynasty are that the in-laws don't want to see each other on the day they get married.
However, Xu Guangzuo broke this rule and personally escorted the sedan chair with the pearl in his hand to the door of Changfu.
Chang Feng tightly held the hand of Xu Guangzuo, the old brother of life and death: "Fat Xu, I want our brothers to work hard together at the beginning." That's really a wolf in the South Mountain, a tiger in the North Mountain, a hedgehog in the pumpkin geography, and silver in the big dung pit! ”
"In the last years of Chenghua, when the storage was guaranteed, our brothers' heads were pinned to the waistband of a trouser belt."
"Who would have thought that more than thirty years have passed. We've become family! I've become your uncle! ”
Xu Guangzuo scolded with a smile: "you!" You didn't take advantage of me enough. This is good, as soon as we meet in the second half of our lives, you will use your identity as an uncle to suppress Lao Tzu! ”
Laughing and scolding, but Xu Guangzuo's eyes flashed with tears of emotion. After all, the two old brothers have been in a relationship for more than 30 years.
I think when the two of them went to Cai Shilang's house to speculate together, they were still young men in their prime. In the blink of an eye, gray hair was born. If the experience of the two over the years is written into a book, it will not be more than 1.5 million words?
This is really a white horse, people have lost weight, and the youth has become old.
After a series of tedious etiquette. Mrs. Jiu, who acted as a Xi Po, finally carried her granddaughter-in-law Xu Ling'er into the house.
At this moment, another Han general opened the way and came to the gate of the Marquis of Jin'an.
The celebrant palm seal Zhang Yong rode a horse and followed. He dismounted and shouted, "The emperor is here to witness the marriage." Ministers kneel to welcome! ”
The emperor's personal marriage is the highest honor for a family.
Chang Feng, Xu Guangzuo and the guests knelt down together.
Not long after, Emperor Zhengde's dragon came.
Gu Dayong shouted: "The Great Ming Shenwei is invincible, destroying Kou Guangwu Xue shamefully and mighty, invincible, invincible, sweeping the Emperor Shengwu of the Northern Captives, and coming to the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion to witness the marriage!" Welcome, Ministers! ”
This strange emperor was obtained by Emperor Zhengde when he was victorious. Emperor Zhengde remembered it really, and really used this emperor number.
Chang Feng knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, Shengming! ”
With this shout, everyone who fell to their knees looked at each other.
Chang Feng knew that he had made a mistake, and he had an apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, I'm used to it." Ministers are often windy, welcome the holy driver! ”
A group of civil and military officials echoed and shouted: "Ministers and others welcome the holy driver!" (End of chapter)
