I never thought that there were so many relatives in Fang Xuanling's house. Coupled with Fang Xuanling's old friends and Fang Jun's friends and colleagues, Fang's house was crowded with people all day long, and there was an endless stream of guests.
You know, it's not the official day of marriage yet...
In the next two days, Fang Jun basically didn't wake up. Even die-hard brothers like Li Siwen and Cheng Chubi "turned sides" and came to bully the groom, and came with others to drink.
It is a pleasure to win over Fang Jun.
There is no way, Fang Jun has a good drinking capacity. It is rare to see him drunk. He is always raping a group of friends with a bottle of wine. Now that they have the opportunity to attack in groups, how can these people let it go so easily?
Wu Meiniang had to put down all the things at the dock and stay in the house to serve Fang Jun wholeheartedly. Whenever Fang Jun got drunk, she would prepare sobering soup, feed him to drink, and give him a massage to relieve the discomfort of being drunk.
.
As for Wu Shunniang...
She will also follow Wu Meiniang to wait on Fang Jun, but her expression will be as usual, as if the two people have never had any "negative distance" contact beyond friendship.
This has to make Fang Jun sigh, women are all born good actors...
The day before the wedding, the palace sent someone to bring Fang Xuanling and Fang Jun into the palace. His Majesty Li Er received them in Taiji Palace. The purpose was mainly to make final arrangements and arrangements for the wedding process and various matters.
explain.
The entire morning was spent discussing this matter.
His Majesty Li Er was extremely active and basically dominated the meeting, leaving aside Li Yuanwen, the official of Zongzheng Temple who was in charge of the royal wedding ceremony and ceremony...
According to his idea, on the day of the wedding, all the shops in Chang'an City will be closed for one day, and officials will have a holiday. They are required to watch the ceremony on both sides of the streets in Chang'an City.
Invited to the banquet.
In addition, His Majesty Li Er prepared more than eighty carts of gold, silver, satin, treasures and antiques as a dowry for his precious daughter. Along with it, there were thousands of acres of land deeds and land deeds of Guanzhong prefectures and counties, all of which were fine farmland and
A store with a great location.
All these have been decorated today and are just waiting to be transported out together with the wedding. According to Zongzhengji's estimate, just transporting these dowries will require the labor of thousands of porters...
In addition, in order to maintain law and order at the wedding site, the Jinwu Guards from left and right dispatched 3,000 soldiers and horses, and martial law was imposed to block several streets along the route of the bride-to-be procession. This does not include Chang'an, and police officers from Wannian and Wannian counties were dispatched to help maintain law and order.
In the history of Li and Tang Dynasty, only Princess Changle's wedding could surpass such a grand princess wedding ceremony, and all the others were inferior.
This is not only His Majesty Li Er's love for Princess Gaoyang, but also his respect for Fang Xuanling, especially Fang Jun!
He was able to amass wealth at a young age and became one of the richest men in the Tang Dynasty. With his unparalleled poems and songs, he became the most outstanding young man among the scholars, not to mention his brilliant strategies that appeared from time to time. His majesty Li Er and even
The entire Tang Empire benefited a lot. How could His Majesty Li Er, as the emperor, not pay attention to such a minister?
In the eyes of His Majesty Li Er, Fang Jun is a courtier who should be trained as a priority and an important legacy he left to the prince.
It doesn’t take much time, maybe more than ten years later, Fang Jun will be able to become the prime minister of the empire, the white jade pillar holding up the sky, and the purple gold beam bridging the sea!
This is the future of the Empire!
His Majesty Li Er's suggestions are only some requirements for the scene. As for the more complicated, rigorous and trivial details, it is completely the task of Zongzheng Temple.
Li Yuanwen was familiar with Fang Jun, and was no stranger to Fang Xuanling. The conversation was very relaxed and pleasant.
According to the wedding process, Fang Jun will set off from Fang Mansion, ride on a tall horse, wear red and green, and lead the welcoming procession into the palace. From the Suzaku Gate to Taiji Palace, he will welcome Her Royal Highness Princess Gaoyang out of her palace, and then at the ancestral temple.
Hold a major sacrificial ceremony.
After these steps are completed, the young couple can lead the huge wedding procession out of the palace, travel through most of Chang'an City, and marry Princess Gaoyang to the palace.
After arriving at the Fang Mansion, a series of ceremonies must be performed in the Fang Family Ancestral Hall, a luxurious and extravagant traditional wedding is held, and then the ancestors of heaven and earth are worshiped, relatives and friends are thanked, and the bride is sent to the bridal chamber...
At that time, all the civil and military ministers invited by the Manchu Dynasty will be present, and Prince Li Chengqian will serve as the officiant on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor. The wedding banquet has been prepared three days ago. It is conservatively estimated that the house will be
Thousands of tables were set up for a banquet, and the occasion was unprecedented!
Hearing this, Fang Jun almost fainted...
Such a tossing method, why don't you torture people to death? Even if you don't die, you still have to peel off a layer of skin!
This is not a marriage, it is simply suffering...
What amazed him even more was the scale of the wedding. How many times in a hundred years could such a grand wedding shock the whole city and be watched by tens of thousands of people?
It is inevitable that people have some vanity. Even the Fang family, who have been used to seeing ups and downs for two generations, are inevitably a little proud.
Perhaps, you will also become a character in the history books? As the protagonist of this grand wedding, you will definitely be praised for generations and the next generation will be the envy of you!
Naturally, the premise is that that dead girl Gao Yang doesn’t give herself a broken hat as a gift...
The matter has been generally discussed, but in fact there is nothing to discuss. His Majesty Li Er's suggestions must be implemented unconditionally. There are also existing etiquette and rules that need to be followed in the wedding process, and every step cannot be changed.
His Majesty Li Er left Fang and his son to have a meal.
Fang Xuanling shied away from the fact that there were still government affairs to discuss in the political hall, so she said goodbye and left. The father and son sat together at the same table, but there was always a sense of embarrassment...
Fang Jun wanted to leave but couldn't, so he had to eat with His Majesty Li Er.
What is the most boring thing in the world?
If Fang Jun were to answer at this time, the answer would definitely be - dining with the emperor...
His Majesty Li Er is not a believer in "eating without talking and sleeping without talking". He will say something from time to time while eating. Fang Jun cannot talk nonsense, but he also has to say it, lest he makes the emperor lose his temper and beat him up.
Your mind is spinning so fast, how can you still think about tasting the taste of imperial cuisine?
What's more, although the emperor at this time was not as life-saving as the Ming and Qing dynasties, the food had to go through countless tests to confirm that it was absolutely safe before it could be served to the emperor. However, necessary tests were still necessary to see if it was poisonous. When the food was presented,
Warm...
Fortunately this is spring, if it were the coldest month of winter...
Just thinking about it makes me feel embarrassed for the emperor.
After finally "surviving" this tasteless royal meal, His Majesty Li Er went to the back and finished washing his hands. He did not let Fang Jun leave. Instead, he raised his finger and pointed to the garden outside, beckoning Fang Jun to follow him and sit there.
.
Several chambermaids followed him, and they came to the pavilion in the imperial garden and arranged tea sets. His Majesty Li Er waved them away and made Fang Jun sit down.
It was March, and the garden was full of green leaves and trees, and it was a prosperous scene. Although the branches and leaves were not yet in full bloom, several white magnolias had already bloomed with crystal white flowers.
Spring is in full bloom.
Although His Majesty Li Er was a decisive and murderous emperor, with a heart as hard as iron and a murderous spirit, he was also a "literary youth" who loved literature. Otherwise, he would not have read such an eternal masterpiece as "Lanting Preface" before his death.
As a burial...
Like many poets and talents, he had the feeling of sadness for spring and autumn. Looking at the scenery in the imperial garden in front of him, he felt a little emotional.
"It has been more than twenty years since the army was launched in Taiyuan. There have been so many winds and swords, so many conspiracies and tricks, and we have been walking on thin ice with fear. I never thought that the Tang Dynasty would have such a prosperous day, and it would even reach a higher level.
The building will prosper for a long time."
His Majesty Li Er's tone was a little low, but when he talked about such a proud achievement, he didn't seem to be very interested.
This is somewhat inconsistent with His Majesty Li Er, who has always been "very ambitious"...
Fang Jun didn't know how to answer this, so he just kept silent.
In the thirteenth year of Daye, Li Yuan, with the help of his second son Li Shimin, his subordinates Pei Ji, Liu Wenjing and others, killed Wang Wei and Gao Junya who were monitored by Emperor Sui Yang. He sent Liu Wenjing as an envoy to the Turks and received the support of Shibi Khan.
, sent Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin to seize Xihe County.
In June, the army officially launched.
Li Yuan took himself as the general, with his eldest son Li Jiancheng and his second son Li Shimin as the left and right governors. His fourth son Li Yuanji stayed in Taiyuan and sent troops to Chang'an. He defeated Song Laosheng in Huoyi, crossed the Yellow River from Longmen, and opened Yongfengcang to help the people. Guanzhong
His daughter Li Sanniang and others raised troops to respond.
In November, Chang'an was captured, and Yang You, the acting king, was made the emperor, Emperor Sui Yang was honored as the supreme emperor, and Li Yuan became the prime minister and king of the Tang Dynasty.
In March of the following year, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty was killed by Yu Wenhuaji in Jiangdu.
In May, Li Yuan deposed Yang You, proclaimed himself emperor, and changed the country's name to Tang. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed and the Tang Dynasty was established.
Along the way, the Tang Dynasty can be said to be blessed by nature. Except for the danger of Hulao Pass, everything went smoothly and everything came naturally.
This is both God's will and public opinion.
His Majesty Li Er looked back at Fang Jun, his eyes were deep and his tone was solemn: "The future of the empire requires your dedication and efforts. Fang Jun, just go ahead and do it, I will watch it!"
This is the first time His Majesty Li Er has stated his affirmation of Fang Jun.
Fang Jun only felt a warm blood rising from his heart, rushing and boiling!
The splendid Tang Dynasty, we should strive for it all our lives!
Standing up, Fang Jun knelt down on one knee and said in a sonorous tone: "I will devote my whole life to you and die before you!"
His Majesty Li Er stared at Fang Jun's impassioned remarks for a long time, and then suddenly sneered.
"I believe in devoting oneself to one's work, but in order to die... I don't believe that. You kid is greedy for pleasure, so naturally you want to be relaxed and comfortable while you are alive, and just do some serious things. Am I right?"
Facing His Majesty Li Er's playful gaze, Fang Jun was slightly stunned and a little embarrassed.
This sentence is really the best portrayal of Fang Jun.
He has ideals, and it is okay to pay for his ideals. However, in the process of realizing his ideals, he naturally does not mind enjoying the corrupt life of a wine-drinking lady. After all, if God allows you to time travel, you cannot just pay for this era.
, but you don’t let yourself enjoy life at all, right?
Fang Jun could only feel: Li Er is the one who knows me...
