Three thousand red-armored cavalry were followed by a thousand drummers. They were all dressed in red, and the drums were covered in red. They looked beaming with joy.
After the drummer is the wedding car specially made by Yuan Shu's craftsmen for this wedding.
This carriage is about six meters long, three meters wide and three meters high. It has four axles and eight special wheels. It is pulled by five maroon horses to ensure its speed and stability.
In addition to its length and many wheels, the inner layer of this carriage is embedded with a layer of hundreds of refined steel.
Although this fine steel is thin, it is precision forged. Each piece of fine steel requires hundreds or even thousands of forgings to be formed. In terms of hardness, it far exceeds ordinary iron.
Under the premise of ensuring that the weight of the carriage does not exceed the weight, even if it is shot at close range with a military crossbow, it will be broken but not penetrated at most, ensuring the safety of the people inside.
After the carriage are several large carriages, which are filled with Cai Wenji's family members. Although there are not that many, the aura must be sufficient.
After this, another three thousand red-armored cavalry followed closely behind the carriage with neat steps.
After the three thousand cavalry, there were soldiers and horses, and five thousand guardsmen in red uniforms lined up in a square formation.
Xindu City has long been under martial law, and the main streets are full of soldiers, with one post every three steps and one sentry every five steps. They are all dressed in red, standing steadily in the breeze.
"Crunch."
The carriage Cai Wenji was riding in stopped steadily in front of the Yuan Mansion, and the people who welcomed her took Cai Wenji out of the carriage.
An ordinary family might need a groom to carry the bride, but Yuan Shu was a prince, so he would not deign to do such things.
Cai Wenji, dressed in red, slowly came to the lobby. Yuan Shu had been waiting inside, while Yuan Ji was sitting at the top.
"The newlyweds are in place and ready to worship."
The person officiating the wedding this time was very important. Tao Qian, Tao Gongzu, the governor of Xuzhou, was also a prince.
After hearing Tao Qian's words, Yuan Shu and Cai Wenji stood up naturally, while the people around them immediately became silent.
"The imperial edict has arrived."
Just when Tao Qian was about to host the wedding, a sharp voice came from outside the house, and then he saw a eunuch in red walking over, accompanied by two guards.
"Um?"
Except for Yuan Shu, Tian Feng, and Xun You, everyone was stunned. Why did Dong Zhuo come at this time?
"Yuan Zhoumu, our family has come to congratulate you in accordance with the wishes of the Holy One. At the same time, the Holy One has also issued a decree."
The eunuch looked at everyone and couldn't help but feel proud in his eyes.
"Proclaim the decree."
Although Yuan Shu knew Dong Zhuo's intention, since he wanted benefits, he had to pay some price.
"Yuan Shu and Yuan Gongdao accepted the order."
The eunuch came directly to where Yuan Ji was sitting and opened the imperial edict in his hand.
"Yuan Shu accepted the order."
Yuan Shu knelt down on one knee. After all, Emperor Xian of Han was still their nominal emperor.
Seeing Yuan Shu kneeling down so simply, Cao Cao immediately guessed what was going on. The two of them must have been breathing in advance, otherwise they would never have been like this.
Yuan Shu knelt down, and all his civil and military officials knelt down on one knee. Cao Cao and others present had no choice but to kneel down after them.
"It's God's destiny, the emperor called me.
The Yuan family is full of loyal people, and Yuan Shu is the leader among them.
Killed the Black Mountain bandit Zhang Yan in the west and protected the people of Jizhou in peace.
Attack the national thief Gongsun Zan from the north and save the lives of the people of Youzhou.
In fact, he is the pillar of the Han Dynasty and the hero of Kyushu.
After my consideration, I found that the two states of Youji and Youji were not at peace yet, the Yellow Turban bandits in Qingzhou were not eliminated, and the Xianbei, Wuhuan, Xiongnu and other thieves were also ready to move, so I specially appointed Yuan Shu as the shepherd of Jizhou and the shepherd of Youzhou, taking charge of all military and political affairs in the two states.
I hope Yuan Qing can live up to his trust, guard the two states of Youji and protect the people.
Appreciate this."
The eunuch read out all the contents of the imperial edict in one breath. The description here is simple. The most important thing is to appoint Yuan Shu as the governor of Youji and Hebei Provinces.
"Yuan Shu received the order."
Yuan Shu stood up directly, came to the eunuch, and took the imperial edict in his hand.
"Yuan Zhoumu, if nothing happens, we will go back and recover."
Yuan Shu accepted the order, and the eunuch's mission was completed.
"Well, send it to an angel."
Yuan Shu nodded at him and arranged for someone to send the eunuch out.
"Congratulations, congratulations, the highway, this time it is finally justified."
When Tao Qian saw the imperial edict in Yuan Shu's hand, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and hurried to congratulate him.
"congratulations."
A trace of worry flashed in Cao Cao's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and he came forward to congratulate Yuan Shu.
"Everyone, I'm serious."
The heroes congratulated him, but Yuan Shu just smiled and didn't say much.
"Brother Highway, the joy of promotion has passed, now it's time to get down to business."
Tao Qian couldn't help but smile as he looked at Cai Wenji who was being left alone.
"Exactly, today's big event is a road wedding, please continue with Tao Shijun."
Yuan Ji doesn't care about Dong Zhuo or Dong Zhuo. Yuan Shu's marriage is the first priority in his eyes.
"No, no, it's not that easy if you want to worship on the highway."
Kong Rong, the governor of Beihai, suddenly smiled, stood up and spoke to Tao Qian.
"Wenju, what other ideas have you got?"
Tao Qian also smiled and spoke to Kong Rong.
"Everyone knows that Gongdao is a beautiful figure with both civil and military talents. How can he miss out on the elegant act of writing poetry at such a festive time? Moreover, Cai Cai is a great scholar in the world, and his daughter Wenji is also a famous and talented woman. If Gongdao cannot do something
Dazuo, be careful not to let you enter the bridal chamber at night."
Kong Rong looked at Yuan Shu with eyes full of smiles.
"That's right, what Wen Ju said is true. If you can't do a good job, be careful that your siblings won't let you into the bridal chamber."
Zhang Miao also came over to talk.
"Indeed, I have long heard that military force on the highway can stabilize the country and civilized people can stabilize the country. We are eagerly waiting for it."
Zhang Yang also stood up to speak.
Seeing several prefect-level figures making noise, Tao Qian turned his attention to Yuan Shu.
"It doesn't matter. If I feel something today, I will compose an impromptu poem."
It has been a tradition since ancient times to embarrass the groom during weddings, but if you dare to embarrass yourself, hehe, then I will only have the official Wen Chai Gong.
"Okay, I'm all ears."
Hearing Yuan Shu's answer, everyone's eyes lit up, especially the civil and military men under his command. Although the Lord has many famous quotes, most of them are one or two sentences. Now that he can hear a full poem, it is really enjoyable.
The same goes for Cai Wenji, who wears a red hijab. Although she is about to become Yuan Shu's first wife and the first wife of all the great princes in the world, she still hopes that her husband is rich in elegance and can outshine everyone else.
Although Yuan Shu didn't have much ink in his stomach, he could still memorize 300 Tang poems and Song lyrics, and he could still remember some famous classic poems and lines.
"The thin clouds make tricks, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silvery people are far away in darkness.
Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will defeat countless people in the world.
Tenderness is like water, good times are like dreams, and I can’t bear to look at the magpie bridge on my way back.
If the love between two people lasts for a long time, how can it last day and night?"
