Wanchang's health is a little bad. Although he has not coughed up blood today, his wheezing and coughing have become more frequent from time to time. However, his spirit is very good. After listening to Xue Zongting's words, Wanchang pondered for a moment: "The cabinet has been They are all composed of four famous families and three officials from poor families. Now Shen Cheng has retreated and Qiu Linjiang has stepped up. As usual, the vacant Minister of Rites should be replaced by people from the Shen family, that is, Shen He is now Chen He. It’s nothing for him to be promoted to Minister Zuo of the Ministry of Industry... But if he is not promoted, how can the Shen family be willing to do it? "
Xue Zongting said anxiously: "But Your Majesty, if Shen He comes up against the Minister of Rites, wouldn't the old party still dominate the cabinet? How can Qiu Gong's new law be implemented? Besides, Tianji Pavilion... that is also a great weapon. If it is in the hands of the old party, it will do great harm to the implementation of the new law!"
Wanchang felt his forehead was a little swollen and painful, and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I know all this!" He closed his eyes, paused, and said slowly: "Tomorrow morning, let's test the Shen faction's tone first."
"Yes, Your Majesty," Xue Zongting said quickly
Wanchang thought for a while, frowned and said: "It's just... treating the Shen family like this, I'm afraid that the Yun family will have other ideas. It's a critical moment for the implementation of the new law. If something goes wrong on the Yun family, things could be terrible. There is some trouble." He suddenly shouted: "Xue Zongting!"
"The slave is here (the eunuch called himself a slave, and it seems that he was called a slave after the Qing Dynasty)..." Xue Zongting responded quickly
"You think, is there any way to attract the attention of the Yun family in the near future so that they don't have the energy to take care of these things in the DPRK? ... Don't mention the war. It's better to give them some benefits so that they won't worry about it. Shen Cheng takes the lead!"
Xue Zongting was stunned for a moment. This seems to be a bit difficult. Give benefits. If you give too many benefits, the stronger the Yun family will be, wouldn't that bring harm to the court?
Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration and said: "Yes!"
Wanchang was delighted: "Say it quickly!"
Xue Zongting said: "At the beginning of the year, Yun Lan handed over the betrothal gift to the crown prince Yun Zheng, and the Holy Father also agreed to betroth His Highness Princess Huai'an to Yun Zheng. However, Her Highness the Princess had not yet inspected the fiefdom at that time, and Yun Zheng had to lead his troops south for training, so The wedding has been postponed. Now the princess has taken care of the Huai'an fiefdom, and Yun Zheng is probably on his way back to Hebei with his troops. Why doesn't the emperor decree a time for the marriage? As long as the time for the wedding is set, Be tight. Firstly, the Yun family does not dare to neglect such an important event as the princess's marriage. Secondly, they will definitely not lose their face in this matter and will definitely make a big show. Princess Huai'an is a princess who is extremely favored by the Holy Emperor. Your Highness, it is a blessing for the Yun family to marry her. The Yun family will naturally be grateful to the emperor. In this way, they should not go against the emperor on the matter of Shen Cheng's resignation."
Wanchang's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hand on the rosewood handrail: "Okay, good idea!" He also had another reason in mind: his body seemed to be getting worse and worse recently, and the hospital was not sure. It's just that I'm overworked and should take more rest - it's all rubbish! Now is the critical time for my great cause. Once the new law is implemented smoothly, it won't be long before the imperial court's strength can greatly surpass the four major border towns. By then, the imperial court will If we want to cut down the vassal vassal, are we still afraid of their opposition? But no matter what, poor health is always a hidden danger. Seeing the thirteenth girl get married as soon as possible is also a father's wish...
---------------------------------------- Yanjing and Huai'an got 800 almost at the same time
There was an urgent imperial edict in Lijiang. The imperial edict set the wedding of Princess Huai'an and the prince of Yun Guo in one month. The venue was of course Luoyang, one or two places of the imperial edict. Yanjing and Huai'an were in a state of panic.
For major events, Yun Lan had to rush to the Duke Yun's Mansion in Luoyang in person to take charge. And because of the need for wedding etiquette, a large number of people had to be mobilized to go south to the Princess Huai'an Mansion in Luoyang. The same was true. Not only did Lin Yuyan have to rush back to Luoyang, but also
The servants of the Princess Clan's Mansion couldn't be delayed, and they all had to rush to Luoyang immediately.
In the imperial court, many things have been delayed due to the continuous tiredness of the emperor. For example, the new Minister of Rites has not been appointed. The only major event during this period was the news from Sichuan that Leng Xiang was fine. He had arrived in Yuzhou safely. Now
He was commanding the newly arrived Leng Army to prepare to recapture Chengdu, and he personally went to court, admitting that the fall of Chengdu was due to his command error, and requested punishment - a year's salary - Wanchang approved with a sneer.
Yunzheng did not expect that the wedding would come so early and unexpectedly. He waited until the Yingyangwei army entered Hebei before he publicly appeared at the Duke Yun's Mansion in Luoyang. Within a few days, people from Yanjing also arrived, and Duke Yun's Mansion was established.
The horse is running at full speed and the wedding arrangements have begun.
In the last ten days before the wedding, Yun Zheng originally thought that he would just lie on the bed, eat and wait for death. However, he guessed completely wrong. He finally realized for the first time that marrying a princess would mean that he had traveled through time.
The most tiring thing to do since the Wei Dynasty
The first thing is to find a way to buy or catch live geese, because Yun Lan wants everything to be in line with Zhou Li, and must do the best. Where can there be live geese for Yun Zheng in Luoyang City? This thing needs to be alive.
, can’t shoot yet, there is no other way, the Duke of Yun State sent out almost all the people who were alive, walking and crawling, and finally managed to get enough five live geese. In addition, they also caught a lot of live wild animals, such as
Deer, deer, rabbit, and many more. Ning Wanting specially warned that these are all used for weddings. They must not be seen or touched. Anyone who violates the rules will go to the ancestral hall to kneel for three days before coming out, which will cause the resentment of Third Master Yun.
He gave up the plan of secretly holding a barbecue in his own courtyard in the middle of the night.
The marriage process refers to the specific implementation stage of marriage. In ancient China, the wedding process was divided into six stages, which were called "six rites" in ancient times, namely, accepting, asking for names, accepting, accepting, asking for dates, and personally welcoming. In addition to accepting,
, all must have live geese, because starting from the Zhou Dynasty, in marriages based on the six rites, in addition to the wedding ceremony, the other five rites require the male envoy to carry geese as gifts to the girl’s family. Because geese are migratory birds, they change with the climate from north to south.
Migration is timed, and the spouses are fixed. If one dies, the other will no longer choose a mate. The ancients believed that the movement of wild geese from south to north follows the yin and yang, and the fixed spouse is in accordance with righteousness and etiquette. Marriage uses wild geese as a ritual, symbolizing the yin and yang of a man and a woman.
Harmony also symbolizes the loyalty and single-mindedness of marriage, also known as the Yanyan ceremony - not to mention that Lin Yuyan loves this Yan'er very much, because Yunzheng's song "Moyu'er? Yanqiu" is so touching: asking what love is in the world
, Zhijiao promised each other in life and death?...Thousands of mountains are snowing in the dusk, who is the shadow going to?
The action of marrying a princess that shocked Luoyang began. The first was Nacai, which means that the man's family invites a matchmaker to the woman's family to propose marriage. If the woman's family agrees to propose marriage, the man's family formally proposes to the woman's family, and formally proposes marriage.
It is necessary to follow the words of the geese as a courtesy, and go there at dusk on an auspicious day to make people accept their choice. Of course, it is not the third young master Yun who personally picks up the geese. The live geese prepared at home come in handy at this time, but let Yun Zheng
The strange thing is, obviously he is marrying the daughter of Emperor Wanchang, why should our family go to the Huai'an Princess Mansion (the one in Luoyang) newly given to Lin Yuyan in Wanchang to propose to Shun Guogong Lin Zhi (the late emperor's uncle)
Lin Fan's eldest son, who was demoted to the title of Duke by his grace, is regarded as Wanchang's uncle and brother) is so amazing that he has never married a princess. This custom is really difficult for Yun Zheng to understand: I can't let this young marshal marry a princess.
An old guy with a tougher physique than me wants to have a wedding?
After asking Yun Lan, she understood that when an emperor marries his daughter, the emperor does not personally perform the marriage, but lets a princess with the same surname perform the marriage. Only then did she understand that she is called a princess. No wonder she is called a princess. If the prince is the one to preside over the marriage, shouldn't she be called the princess?
Really, what a mess. I originally thought there was some romantic reason for calling her Princess, but I didn’t expect that this dry allusion really disappointed Young Marshal Yun.
Then, the patriarch of the Yun family came forward and handed the intermarriage document to Lin Zhi, the person who presided over the marriage. Lin Zhi began to read out: "In the autumn and September of the eighteenth year of Wanchang... It has been a long and broad talk, and it is a good and deep bowl."
The spring is still cold, and the body is as rested as it is? May the building be in good condition... I would like to ask Gao Yuan, because of his surname and official position, I dare to politely invite the Chongshanzi of the Yun family of Yanjing, the commander of Yingyang Weidu, and hereditary for the Yun Kingdom.
"The Crown Prince Yunzheng Chengfeng paused." After reading the intermarriage book, which is a four-character and six-character classical Chinese sentence, which is also called parallelism and parallelism, it seems that under Yun Lan's concern, the clan has
The old man and the bunch of old bookmakers from the ancestral temple worked hard and spent two days in a row to write this book on intermarriage, which is quite good. I am afraid it is not much different from the difficulty of scientific research reports such as blood matching and species mates.
When Lin Zhi finished reading, he took a deep gulp of tea before he regained his breath, and there was sweat on his forehead.
Lin Zhi, an old man, had a hard time. He wasn't marrying his own daughter, so he pretended to show off. Then he took Yunzheng's birth date, walked up to the representative of the woman's family, and asked Yueyang, the representative of the woman's family.
Wang Linxi’s squeaking sounds a bit like a signing ceremony for a big business deal.
After the woman muttered some sums, she handed over the eight characters to Lin Zhi. Then, a Taoist priest from the Yun family came out to pretend to be a ghost and started a performance of the eight characters. This play was performed by a famous Taoist in Yanjing.
The host of Guan Miao Guan, Yuan Wentian, who volunteered to help, and Yuan Daozhang starred in this half-immortal. It is said that he is a descendant or descendant of the former Yuan Tiangang and Yuan Great Immortal. In short, Yun Zheng did not pay attention to it.
He pretended to dance like a god, and he did some divination like a human being, that is, he started to combine the birthdays and horoscopes to see if there was any conflict between the two parties. Daochang Yuan's performance can be described as absolute spirit, and his fortune was as fast as flying.
, muttering words in his mouth, every time someone comes close to him, he will always sweep him away with a whisk. He looks like he is doing important things and cannot be disturbed. His expression alternates between worry and joy. He counts the old and back with just his fingers, the so-called horoscope.
That is to say, it is calculated based on the year, month, day, and hour of birth of both parties and their zodiac signs to check whether they are mutually reinforcing and incompatible. This is called the combination of eight characters. A person's birth year, month, day, and hour are matched with the heavenly stems and earthly branches. Two characters form one group, and four groups total eight.
According to the theory of the Five Elements, wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, water generates wood; water overcomes fire, fire overcomes metal, metal overcomes wood, wood overcomes earth, and earth overcomes water. In some areas, it is also based on the zodiac signs of both parties.
There are sayings about the horoscopes such as "white horses are afraid of golden ox, rats, sheep, and snakes with no head, and tigers are like knives and files, and pigs are crying when they see babies and monkeys." Although the Third Young Master has never believed in this, who dares not to believe it now?
Finally, when he was about to doze off, Taoist Yuan suddenly opened his eyes and announced that the horoscopes of the third young master Yun and the little princess Lin Yuyan were very similar, and they were a well-matched couple. Either Yun Zheng was good for her, or she was helpful to Yun Zheng.
Anyway, it’s all praise, but in fact it’s all a bunch of nonsense. Boss Wanchang has issued the edict for several months. If you Yuan Shengun dares to say that the eight characters are inconsistent, Gu Heng and Youxiang Gu will definitely be happy.
, even drinking blood wine with Taoist Yuan to celebrate that his son has another chance to marry a princess. But the problem is that our Majesty Boss Wanchang will be unhappy. I am afraid that he will not be able to marry his daughter, and he will get angry and directly
Take your magician to the West Market and cut off the skin, dry the meat, mix it with preserved fruits and drink it with wine.
Then Lin Zhi asked the woman's relatives, that is, the princes, and then handed the live goose that was flapping vigorously to Lin Xi, who also came to participate in this activity. Unexpectedly, this guy didn't know whether
To hold it or something, the live goose suddenly showed off its power, making the whole hall jump. Then, a group of princes crowded to the side and pretended to discuss it. Lin Xi proudly squeezed towards Yun Zheng.
However, Yun Zheng had no choice but to give him a friendly smile and asked his uncle to take care of him.
Then, after burning a stick of incense, Yueyang Wang Linxi took out the marriage letter that he had prepared a long time ago, and handed it to Lin Zhi, who had a bitter look on his face and forced a smile. The poor old man, even if he goes to the battlefield ten times with the army, he will not be able to do it.
Don't want to do such tiring work
Lin Zhi spat again and recited a stick of incense, and it was finally over. Naji passed the three tests of collecting, asking for names, and then, two days later, he began to collect. Yun Zheng was
I know this is more tiring
The members of the Yun family were arguing for a whole day and night over whether to follow the six Han rites or the Zhou rites, that is, whether or not live geese should be brought in for the levy. Yun Zheng and a group of juniors could only argue.
I can hide outside the house and listen to the wall, and finally go back to each hospital in boredom. There is nothing I can do. A bunch of old guys are just quoting classics and arguing. What's the point?
Early the next morning, when it was still dark, the whole family was summoned. Yun Lan announced with a livid face that the elders of the clan had won the debate and gained full command, so they decided to accept the levy according to the six rites. Despite the clan's dark circles,
Lao Yangyang proudly started his plan to collect taxes. Nazheng is also called Na coins, which is what we later call Xiapin Xuanqi, sheep, wild geese, sake, white wine, japonica rice, millet, cattail, reed, and volume.
Cypress, Jiahe, longevity thread, five-color silk, etc.
A beautiful big white goose is put in a bamboo cage, with a three-inch plate tied to the mouth of the cage. It is called Yunli Goose, then a pure white lamb, also called Yunli Sheep, followed by various fine wines, and then millet and rice.
, chestnut and other grains, called yellow and white rice. Under the command of the clan elders, gold, silver and other common things are not allowed to be used. Xuanqi is made of three pieces of red, yellow and pure black silk, which are then bundled together solemnly and tied up.
Yun Zheng didn't understand what this meant, so he asked his married elder brother Yun Jun. Yun Jun shook his head and said: "Xuanfa Yaoxiang, men are men; imitating earth signs, women are the rites of yin and yang, so men and women communicate.
"The package is: two items of Xuanxi are bundled together in one place, with a three-inch plate attached to the waist, with the inscription "Li Xuanxi" and placed in the middle of the pile.
Hearing these words, Yunzheng was confused, and thought to himself, forget it, it is just right to continue watching the fun, and there are also good quality brocades with pearls and birds and beasts, Shu brocade, damask, crimson, silk, etc., mother.
The tiger skin that I bought specially a few days ago is also placed inside, as well as countless treasures, some jade articles, etc... It is not an exaggeration to describe it as dazzling.
Facing the first ray of sunshine, the six rites of acceptance were solemnly presented to the gate of the Yun Kingdom Palace. The whole road was crowded with people watching the excitement. The eldest son of the Yun Kingdom Palace became the emperor's son-in-law, and the big guys naturally had to join in.
Join in the fun and see what's new
After arriving at the princess's palace, after the bride's princes accepted the six gifts, the marriage was confirmed, and then Taoist Yuan appeared again and began to divine and discuss auspicious dates.
Soon, the invitation, asking for names, Naji, acceptance, and application deadlines were all settled, and the wedding reached the climax of the "personal welcome". This last day finally followed the pace of time and hit Yun Zheng on the forehead.
He just felt very sad. He, Marshal Yun, actually wanted to put a flower on his forehead. Damn...it was so vulgar!
Sitting in front of the mirror, his face was white and gray, like a ghost. Then, someone put rouge on Yunzheng. What the hell, such a big man, he has been tortured into something, but it is the one on the side.
Ning Wanting and Yun Yu'er were still not satisfied. One moment they thought the rouge was too thick, and the next moment they thought the powder on their faces was too thin. Yunzheng became angry and stared at her eyes: "Mom, I can't let anyone live like this.
Just applying these things is enough to make me suffer, what do you two want to do? You have been tossing it for more than an hour." Just opening your mouth to speak, you can see white ash fluttering down, damn!
"Hey, brother, this is all for your own good. Besides, the auspicious time has not come yet, so why are you in a hurry? There are still two hours before you can enter.
