King Liu Kai issued an order late at night, and the northern army obeyed Zhang Yi's command and swore allegiance to Zhang Yi, just like they were loyal to Liu Kai.
A major crisis has been resolved, but the pressure on people's hearts has not been reduced much.
Now that the kingdom is in turmoil, Wu Rui's party members have launched rebellions in many cities, and Little China's troops are directly targeting Chang'an. Old China must also be ready to make a move.
Faced with an unprecedented situation, Zhang Yi did not take any further action. He ordered the army to camp on the spot and wait for arrangements.
In fact, Zhang Yi's heart was in chaos, like a mess.
Returning to the dilapidated palace, he and Xiao Liu helped their father lie down. Suddenly, his father became weak. The death of his brother was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him.
In the dormitory, candlelight flickered, Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu were beside the bed, feeling sad. My father was lying on the bed, his eyes closed, and his heart was ups and downs violently.
Xiaolong, Xiao Han, Niu Ben, Shi Gandang and Wang Zheng, as well as the three adopted sons Liu Zhu, Liu Zhong and Liu Cheng, all stood silently beside the bed.
These three adopted sons were all orphans. They were upright, kind-hearted, brave and good at fighting. Liu Kai asked them to command the kingdom's most elite three thousand imperial guards. They can be called the pillars of the country. Liu Kai has asked the three to swear allegiance to Zhang Yi and Princess Xiaoliu. Zhang Yi and Xiaoliu also treat the three of them as family members.
In addition, there are Xiaoliu’s five sisters.
The people here tonight are the most trustworthy people.
King Liu Kai knew that his time was running out. He opened his eyes, grabbed Zhang Yi's hand, and said something surprising.
"Tomorrow, you and Liu'er will hold a wedding. Get it done early and have peace of mind."
Xiaoliu immediately cried bitterly. The poor princess had to face the reality that her father was about to die after losing her mother.
Zhang Yi nodded sadly and said softly.
"Following my father's order, Liu'er and I will hold a wedding tomorrow. Please relax and rest, my father. The imperial doctor said that as long as you stay calm, you can overcome the disease..."
King Liu Kai couldn't help but sigh, and shook his head with a wry smile. If there hadn't been this disaster, he could still have remained peaceful, and I believe he could have persisted until after the wedding on September 9th. But it is impossible now. He is completely supported by his will. Own.
Seeing his daughter crying, Liu Kai couldn't help but comfort her.
Then he took the medicine sent by the imperial doctor and fell into a deep sleep.
…
Everyone quietly left the dormitory and went to the study room nearby to discuss matters.
Things are in chaos right now, and a proper arrangement needs to be made.
"Listen to your Majesty, the wedding should be held, but it's best to do it in the afternoon," Niu Ben said.
Zhang Yi asked why, and Niu Ben explained that before setting off from Songjiazhai, he sent people back to Mopan City to tell Song Laohei and others about the situation in Chang'an. Song Laohei, Zhang Pingan, Anu and Yue Ya'er, who were I will go back to Mopan City to prepare for the wedding.
Originally, I thought that Yige and Xiaoliu would have a wedding in Chang'an, and then return to Mopan City to hold another wedding. This was strongly requested by the people and was in line with traditional customs.
Niu Ben thought that maybe Mr. Song and his uncle would rush to Chang'an when they saw the changes in Chang'an and felt uneasy. It would be best if they could arrive in the afternoon. Of course, this was just a conjecture.
Zhang Yi nodded in agreement. The wedding will be held tomorrow afternoon, and Xiaolong will take the lead in the preparations. Based on his understanding of Master Song and others, they will definitely arrive in Chang'an. The wedding will be successful only if the parents of both parties are present.
At this time, Xiao Liu controlled his sad emotions and said: "That would be the best. Let's wait as long as possible until Mr. Song and his uncle arrive. Xiao Long doesn't have to worry about it, just keep everything simple. I hope this happy event will make his father happy."
Be happy and your body has stabilized."
Everyone nodded. Princess Xiaoliu inherited her father's strong character and at the same time had her mother's gentle and kind side, which made people respect her.
"It will definitely be as you wish, princess," Wang Zheng said with emotion, "As the saying goes, people are in high spirits when happy events happen. I know the king, his will is far beyond ordinary people, and he will definitely cheer up."
I hope so, everyone here hopes so.
At the moment, no one has the intention to think about anything more. They can only wait until tomorrow after the wedding to discuss how to quell the rebellion and prepare to face the Little Chinese invaders.
Zhang Yi asked Wang Zheng to send out detective horses to find out the situation of the intruders.
…
Everyone dispersed and spent the night preparing for the wedding. The princess said that she wanted to be simple, but the brothers were unwilling to respond carelessly and went to another place to discuss it separately.
Immediately, personnel were dispatched to clean up the ruins in the palace and set up arrangements. Everyone acted in silence.
Xiao Liu and Zhang Yi sat hugging each other. In the darkest moment, the hearts of these lovers were tightly connected.
Sadness and joy surged in the hearts of the two young people, and after a long time, they turned into a huge force. Zhang Yi knew his father's intentions very well. He wanted to entrust his beloved daughter to him and give him the highest power during his lifetime.
and put it into his hands.
He will definitely fulfill his mission.
Xiao Liu suddenly said shyly: "Brother Yi, go to bed, don't think too much about anything, have a good rest. Tomorrow will be our wedding night."
Yes, Zhang Yi's heart suddenly started beating violently. Tomorrow he would be able to marry his sweetheart, and they would be together for the rest of their lives. The two mandarin ducks would fly together and die together.
Zhang Yi left the study, and the five girls who were guarding the door ran into the room with happy faces, and there was a burst of laughter. After all, the girls were young. At this moment, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to tomorrow's wedding, and began to discuss clothes, etc.
detail.
There is a bright moon in the sky tonight.
Zhang Yi looked up at the bright moon and took a deep breath of the cool night wind. The wind still carried the smell of fireworks and a faint smell of blood. It didn't matter, nothing could affect his love with Xiao Liu, and no one could stop him and Xiao Liu.
marriage.
From tomorrow onwards, his life will have a new beginning.
With a beautiful vision for the future, Zhang Yi walked forward. At this time, he saw his brothers, under the light of torches, lowering their voices and directing tens of thousands of soldiers to carry bricks and rubble everywhere.
Zhang Yi's heart was full of emotion. He wanted to say something, but the ox came running and took him to sleep. The groom must have a good rest.
What's even more exciting is that early the next morning, Song Laohei, Zhang Pingan, Anu and Yue Ya'er and others rushed to Chang'an. After understanding the situation, everyone agreed that the wedding should be scheduled for the afternoon, and there was still a lot of preparation.
Work needs to be done.
The debris in the palace has been cleared away, and except for the damage to the building that cannot be repaired for the time being, the grounds are extremely tidy.
Red lanterns were hung inside and outside the palace, and people moved flowers and green grass from everywhere to turn the palace into a beautiful large garden.
The wedding of Chief Assistant Zhang Yi and Princess Xiaoliu was about to take place. The news was announced to the whole city. Chang'an City was in a state of excitement. People, old and young, came outside the palace, wanting to take a look at the newlyweds.
This great event immediately gave Chang'an City, which had become dull after the rebellion, a different kind of vitality!
