At the beginning of the twelfth year of Daye, a unique wedding was held in Yunneicheng.
It cannot be said that there were no spectators from both the male and female families. There were many people from the girl's family, but only one from the husband's family. However, they were all peers or juniors, which was a bit too shabby.
Basically, when people hear about such a wedding, their first reaction is probably that the two families are too hasty, or they are not approved by the elders of the two families. Well, this is a wild mandarin duck that eloped.
But anyone who has attended this wedding will know that this wedding is not shabby at all. To describe it as packed with guests is not an exaggeration at all.
And the two families getting married are not just small families.
Needless to say, the girl's family is a noble family in Guanxi, and her father is the county magistrate.
As for the husband's family, it is true that the number of people is rather pitiful, but the person who married him is amazing.
If you ask around in Yunnei now, as long as you mention Heng'an Town Army Li Canjun, if you don't understand, you must not be a local, but maybe a foreigner from Yanmen.
If you are not from Yanmen, then you have to check carefully. You are not from the north. Come on, come with me to the county government office.
Li Po and Li Ding'an, who joined the army in Heng'an Town, are now famous in the world and are no longer a small figure.
The Goguryeo people were killed, and many Turks were also killed.
The battle last year was undoubtedly the battle that made Li Po famous. He led his army to fight for hundreds of miles, killing countless enemies and capturing countless captives.
This year, everyone in Yunnei has a full stomach, thanks to Li Canjun of Heng'an Town. Heng'an Town Army fought with his life to get it back. In Yunnei, the twelfth year of the Great Cause, if anyone said a bad word about Li Canjun, the consequences would be disastrous.
It wouldn't be very wonderful.
So, my husband's family is not bad either. At least here in Yunnei, people think that Li Canjun and General Li are a match made in heaven.
As for these two people. When they got married in Yunnei City, they made Yunnei City their home. The people of Yunnei welcomed them and even thought it would be best for these two to take root in Yunnei City.
The Li family in the clouds is spreading its branches and leaves, and it will definitely be able to provide shade.
In this way, it can be said that this wedding has touched the hearts of thousands of people in Yun Nei, and its grandeur is extraordinary.
All the prominent people in Yun Nei are here, not to mention the entire town of Heng'an. It's hard to describe how lively it is.
In fact, after the war, the people in Yunnei also needed such a lively and happy event to dilute the scars caused by the war.
On this day, Yunnei City was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.
When Li Shimin and his group of more than ten people arrived at the gate of Yunnei City, they were blocked. It was mainly the ranchers of Yunnei who sent congratulatory gifts on this day.
The gifts are not very expensive, and there are no wealthy families in Yunnei.
At this time, most of the people delivering things from outside the city were from families with ranches in Yunnei, that is, big landowners.
The gifts were all kinds of things. Li Shimin, brother and sister, watched helplessly as an ox cart with a polished bronze mirror on it staggered into the city gate.
There are a bunch of carriages here, and there are pots, pans and everything. The brother and sister looked at each other and wanted to laugh. This is how people in the countryside get married.
However, if the common people and gentry can arrange a marriage happily and spontaneously, it is not just a random thing. It is full of popularity.
However, this is not unusual. It can protect the safety of a place. Naturally, people will be grateful. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Sui Dynasty. In some places, when officials were in charge of governance, when they resigned, the people cried bitterly and sent each other hundreds of miles away.
, there are many who are still reluctant to leave.
And this is the greatest compliment to a politician, which shows that you have done a good job in office and have a good reputation among the people.
But speaking of it, during the Daye years, such things gradually became less and less. As long as the civilian service is used more, no matter how good your administration is, the people will feel miserable, who will be grateful to you?
The people don't care whether you initiated this civil service. They only know that their lives under your rule are not stable.
Passage here at the city gate was very slow, mainly because the soldiers guarding the city gate were very cautious.
No weapons, guns or anything else were allowed inside, and then a person was called to the front and asked to say a few words before he was allowed to go.
Li Shimin was a little strange, so he got off his horse, stopped the person and asked him a few questions.
He laughed when he came back, "Haha, we are so close. We have to guard against the Turks coming to cause trouble, and we also have to guard against the assassin Third Sister. Tell me, why does this look like the Hongmen Banquet?"
He was laughing while talking, and it seemed that he was really not amused.
Li Xiuning couldn't help biting her lip after hearing this. It was indeed funny, "This can also prevent assassins."
Li Shimin laughed and shook his head, "I can't guard against it. I can't guard against it. It seems that I am mainly guarding against the Turks. Anyone with the wrong accent will not be able to enter the city gate. Try it later. You won't be able to guard against it."
Just say a few words to them in Turkic language, and I'll be ready to capture you first."
The girl was finally amused, "It's not wrong. If the Turks know that there is such a marriage here, they will definitely come to make a fuss. It's just like this to check the congratulatory person."
Of course, there are some things that don't make sense, but this marriage is a bit weird to begin with, so the other details don't need to be rare or weird.
When it was their turn, a big black man turned around, looked at them, beat his chest directly as a military salute, waved back and said: "Let's go."
Then he added, "If you have official duties, you'd better find a place to stay first. Today is a happy day for Heng'an Town, so I can't take care of it."
The group of people passed the city gate smoothly. Li Shimin looked back and said, "This black man is really brave. The battalion commanders have all come to guard the city gate. This Heng'an Town looks a bit evil no matter how you look at it."
On a normal day, he wouldn't mind staying, chatting for a few words, and hearing about this person's origins, but now, he doesn't have that time.
He wanted to go to the wedding, join the army and marry a general. It would be a very interesting scene.
He is very courageous and energetic. Generally speaking, the more people like this, the more curious they are. They like to see new things and are never willing to stick to the rules.
Of course, there is another person who is not very willing to abide by the rules at this moment and is in a state of distress.
As the groom's official, Li Po is almost regretting it now.
There was a battle last winter that almost killed him. On the battlefield, he had a few brushes with death. After he came back, looking at the knife marks and arrow wounds on the armor, Li Po wished he could kiss the armor.
A few mouthfuls.
Soon after returning, a large number of people in the Heng'an town army fell ill from top to bottom. They were all frozen, and the busy doctors were overwhelmed.
Now Li Po really doesn't like winter. He shudders when he thinks of winter. After five or six years, he has become more competitive with winter.
Fortunately, this time he was not sick or injured, but he was very thin. During the second half of winter, he didn't care about anything and just hid in the house to gain weight.
Later, under Li Bi's constant hints, he reluctantly led his men to drive the cattle and sheep, and selected some Turkic prisoners of war and sent them back to Mayi.
When they arrived in Mayi, the unlucky guy Li Jing had just come back. This time, although he suffered some hardships, he was able to vent his resentment and felt satisfied.
People like him are actually constantly seeking to reflect their self-worth. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, as long as they are psychologically satisfied, it is the best enjoyment for Li Jing.
Well, this person's mentality is a bit twisted. It can be said that Li Po's timing was very good.
Li Jing was already in a good mood. When he met the students, he acted like a teacher and taught him a lesson. This student Li Po would never understand now.
However, Li Jing was really surprised when he heard what Li Po said about the war in winter.
After that, he kept looking at the student as if he didn't know him, which made Li Po feel a little embarrassed and felt that he had exaggerated his achievements too much.
Needless to say, Li Jing was overjoyed. His students had made such great achievements. As a teacher, it goes without saying that he felt a sense of satisfaction. People who have never been teachers or are now teachers simply cannot understand it.
But obviously, he still had some faith in this student, so he followed Li Po to see the Turkic prisoners, and then braved the wind and snow to go to the battlefield north of Shenwu City.
If possible, he would even go to Yunzhong Grassland to have a look.
Afterwards, Li Jing felt that he had really taught an amazing student, a talented general.
Famous generals are not just boasted, they are fought in battles. Just listening to the events before and after these battles, Li Jing concluded that this student is indeed a talented general, and his future achievements will be limitless, especially under the current situation.
Even more so.
As a result, Li's marriage finally went smoothly, because in Li Jing's eyes at this time, it was not a problem.
But there is no need to mention the previous idea of getting married.
With such achievements, Heng'an Town General should have been replaced by someone else. Who asked his daughter to pass all the military power to this future son-in-law?
Furthermore, once a son-in-law comes into the family, he will be ruined if he does not use his talents as a general. I have never heard of any family whose son-in-law can stand out.
In this case, the only option is to get married.
Li Jing was quite straightforward. He just sent a letter to his wife in Chang'an and started preparing for the marriage.
Li Po's betrothal gift was a little different, it was like a marriage with a tribe in the north. Li Jing was in a good mood and didn't care about it. Even if you gave him a golden wolf flag, he would accept it.
Li Bi's dowry was also very special. Two boxes of war books, plus 1,500 imperial soldiers, were directly added to the Heng'an town army.
The husband and son-in-law really regarded Mayi as their own home. They came to and from each other, and almost all the gifts they received were from the government.
How else can we say that one family does not enter the same house? To be continued.
