At the end of Yin Shi, the sky was dark, windless and moonless.
On the bed, Fang Jun walked out from the entanglement of jade arms and pink legs, stepped over a lively and delicate body with gentle hands and feet, went down to find clothes, but still woke up the two women.
Wu Meiniang touched the fire stick and lit the candle. Her skin was flushed under the red candlelight. Her beautiful face was still full of spring. Her beautiful eyes said something strange to the man, and her silver teeth were secretly biting with a hint of anger.
Thinking about all the embarrassing things last night, it was too ridiculous to curse this bastard secretly...
Wu Shunniang helped Fang Jun dress from the other side, and her fingers inadvertently touched his strong arms and chest, which made her heart beat wildly, her jade face turned crimson, and she lowered her head, feeling extremely shy.
Fang Jun looked around and felt refreshed and accomplished. He couldn't help but smile "hehe".
With a blushing face, Wu Meiniang pinched the man's waist and said angrily: "Just try your best to be a bitch and make our sisters shameless."
Fang Jun raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "What's the point of being humble about the pleasures of a boudoir? Mei Niang was still asking for a husband at that time..."
Wu Shunniang on the side felt her legs were weak and whispered: "Stop talking..."
Those embarrassing postures are just done, but how can you say that?
So shameful...
After putting on clothes, the house was already lit with lights. Although it had rained for days and the temperature was cold and humid, most of the family members and servants had already gotten up at this time. The ones in the kitchen got up earlier. After Fang Jun had freshened up, he had breakfast.
It has been delivered to the hall.
Princess Gaoyang also got up early and put on the princess robe used for the court meeting. The vermilion palace complex was decorated with gold silk clouds, Shu brocade flowers, nine hairpin trees, her temples were decorated with nine pearls, and a vermilion jade belt around her waist.
The socks, waistcoat and sashes are all blue.
Sitting on the chair, he is majestic, solemn and magnificent, showing the style of the heavenly family.
Fang Jun entered and bowed to salute. After all, national rites are greater than family rites. Although he is a man, he used the word "Shang" when marrying the princess, which shows that even if the prince of the country is a minister, the princess is the head of the family.
host……
Behind him, Wu Meiniang and other female family members were even more blessed.
Princess Gaoyang received the courtesy from everyone calmly, and when she met Fang Jun's eyes, her beautiful eyebrows were raised slightly, full of disdain.
Little silver bug...
Fang Jun understood the idea and smiled. Without waiting for Princess Gaoyang to continue arranging the princess' score, he stood up and walked to a chair aside to sit down. He picked up a steamed bun and took a bite.
Princess Gao Yang glared at him angrily and quickly said to Wu Meiniang: "Sister Mei Niang, please get down quickly and let's have breakfast together. It's so pitiful. I must have worked so hard last night, so I must have been very evil."
Even though Wu Meiniang is broad-minded and generous, she couldn't help but feel hot at the teasing words of Princess Gaoyang. She stood up and sat under Fang Jun. She stretched out two green onions where Princess Gaoyang could not see her.
With his ordinary jade fingers, he pinched the weak waist of the culprit and twisted it hard...
"puff!"
Fang Jun almost spit out the steamed bun in his mouth. He gasped in pain, but he didn't dare to turn his head to look. He had to endure the pain and took a sip of gruel to swallow the steamed bun down, so he didn't choke to death.
Princess Gao Yang glared at him and said angrily: "Don't make mistakes. We are pressed for time. It will be a big trouble if we are delayed."
Fang Jun had tears in his eyes and nodded repeatedly. He ate two steamed buns and drank two bowls of porridge like a storm. However, under the eyes of the two pairs of eyes on the left and right, either slightly angry or coldly, he didn't even dare to pick up the food...
…
Princess Gaoyang had a small appetite. After drinking less than half a bowl of gruel, she put down her bowl and chopsticks. After rinsing her mouth, she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. When she saw Fang Jun also rinsing his mouth, she stood up and said, "Let's go."
The couple then left the hall surrounded by their female relatives and came to the courtyard. Princess Gaoyang got on the Chongzhai carriage decorated with embroidery that had been parked there for a long time. A complete set of princess ceremonials was elaborate and grand, and she walked out of the main entrance.
Fang Jun then got on his horse and followed closely under the guard of dozens of soldiers. He left Chongrenfang and went straight to Taiji Palace.
…
The night is low, without stars or moon.
Hundreds of people have gathered outside the Chengtian Gate of Taiji Palace. All officials of the seventh rank and above in the capital, wives with royal titles, as well as kings, princesses, princes, princesses, etc. of the clan are all going to Zhaoling on Jiuwei Mountain to attend the entrance ceremony of the late emperor. After the funeral ceremony, they all returned to Beijing to witness the coronation ceremony of the new emperor.
Fang Jun escorted the princess in the car from Chengtian Gate. The car stopped outside Taiji Gate and met with the late emperor's concubines, princesses, princesses, etc., waiting to set off. Fang Jun dismounted from the east pavilion gate and walked around the bell tower, heading north. Go straight to Wude Hall and enter to see him.
In the main hall, Li Chengqian was sitting on the crown prince's crown. Cen Wenwen, Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Kong Yingda and others stood in front of the prince. Fang Jun came forward to greet him, and then said to Kong Yingda: "I'll go to Duke Yuan to help you."
Kong Yingda's white hair was as white as snow, and his tall body was still a little rickety, but his face was rosy and he was energetic. Hearing this, he bent down and returned the gift, saying over and over again: "How dare I accept this gift from the Duke of Yue? I can serve the Duke of Yue. This is the glory of aging, even if the oil is exhausted and the lamp dries up, it will still be as sweet as sugar."
The old man had been an official for a long time and had never been involved in political affairs. He lived in hiding in his mansion, wrote books and made remarks, and flirted with his grandchildren. He lived a comfortable life. However, he was targeted by Fang Jun and had to preside over the affairs of the Ministry of Rites as the former Minister of Rites. , it’s okay to be so busy that you have to take the blame if something goes wrong.
Naturally, he wants to express his dissatisfaction in such seemingly joking ways...
Fang Jun had a look of embarrassment on his face and begged for mercy again and again. Everyone in the hall laughed softly, but then they remembered that it was not appropriate to be so frivolous today, so they quickly calmed down their expressions.
Li Chengqian looked at Li Ji and Li Jing and asked, "Have the garrisons inside and outside the city been in their respective positions and properly arranged?"
The two people hurriedly said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, even if there is a small disturbance, it is nothing to worry about and it will not hinder the progress of the ceremony."
Li Chengqian nodded and said to Kong Yingda, Li Xiaogong and Li Yuanjia respectively: "The ceremony process must be careful and meticulous, and no mistakes can be made."
First, there was the burial of the late emperor, and then the enthronement ceremony. The two consecutive ceremonies were of the highest standard in the etiquette system. The process was extremely cumbersome and prone to errors. If it was normal, it would be fine. Who can ensure that nothing goes wrong? All it takes is timely. Just deal with it. But the situation is tense now, the King of Jin is still entrenched in Tongguan, and many people in the court are deliberately trying to cause trouble. If the process goes wrong, it will not only make people laugh, but may even cause a political turmoil.
The three people also replied in unison: "The ceremony process has been rehearsed several times to ensure that it is foolproof."
Li Chengqian breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said: "It's not that I am alone, but the current situation is actually unstable and people's minds are unpredictable. There must be no mistakes. You are all the pillars of the country, and you must do your best. In the future, you will definitely be rewarded according to your merits. ."
Everyone said: "I dare not say merit in this matter."
At this time, Ma Zhou, Liu Ji, Zhang Xingcheng and other officials from three provinces and six ministries came one after another, and the atmosphere in the palace relaxed.
Not long after, Wang De, the chief chamberlain, called the names, compared them with the name list one by one, confirmed that all the people on the list were in place, bowed and said: "Your Highness, everyone is here, you can rush to Zhaoling."
Li Chengqian stood up and finally told Li Junxian, who was standing solemnly behind him: "When I leave the city with all the ministers, the city will be entrusted to you. If anyone dares to take the opportunity to cause trouble, no matter who it is, they will be arrested as soon as they are discovered. The situation must not be disrupted."
Li Junxian said solemnly: "Your Highness, don't worry, if anything goes wrong, I will die to apologize!"
Li Chengqian shook his head and said: "What are you talking about whether you will die or not? Just do your loyalty to the king."
Li Junxian knelt down on one knee and performed a military salute: "Here!"
Li Chengqian looked around at the ministers in the palace, paused, and walked out: "Let's go."
He walked out of the Wude Hall first, followed by all the ministers behind him. When Li Chengqian got on the prince's chariot and marched out of Chengtian Gate in a mighty manner, all the Imperial Guards in the capital were dispatched to blockade every corner, and Zhuque Street was completely cleared.
The prince's chariot, princes, princes, dignitaries, officials at all levels, and more than a thousand people came out from the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City, turned west, bypassed Chang'an City, and then went all the way north across the Zhongwei Bridge and headed straight for
Zhaoling is located in Mount Jiuwei.
We didn't arrive until noon.
Jiuwei Mountain is located in Beiliquan, Xianyang. The mountain is abrupt and rises from the ground. It is located in the shade of the Jing River and the Yang of the Wei River. It is separated from the Guanzhong Plain to the south and faces Taibai and Zhongnan peaks. On the east and west sides,
The mountains are undulating and extend into the plains. There are nine mountain ridges evenly distributed around the main peak, which are raised high. The mountain ridges are also called "啕", hence the name.
"In the sacred text, Zhou Da is called Zhao; if Zhao De has merit, it is called Zhao." Therefore, it is named Zhaoling, and it is the place chosen by His Majesty Li Er to be buried together with Queen Wende.
The feng shui of this place is excellent and tops the world. It was originally measured by Yuan Tiangang and set by Li Chunfeng. However, now Yuan Tiangang travels around to practice the way of heaven, Li Chunfeng becomes an official and studies mathematics at home, and the Taishi Bureau is gradually declining...
Fang Jun followed Li Chengqian throughout the process, watching His Majesty Li Er's coffin being carried into the underground palace. All the rituals were carried out. When the ceremony was over and the dragon gate was sealed, he stood outside the mausoleum and looked at the mountains and mist in the distance, and his heart couldn't help but rise.
Feeling confused.
For future Chinese descendants, they all yearn for the prosperous age of Zhenguan, and the name of His Majesty Li Er represents the most tyrannical era in Chinese history. Only the Qin Emperor unified Liuhe and the Han Dynasty conquered the world.
There are only a few Xiongnu and others...
And today, he personally witnessed the end of this era.
