On the wedding of King Shou, the whole city of Chang'an celebrated. Li Longji ordered a wedding ceremony for three days, and the government provided noodles, drinks, etc., and the Taiyue Department and Propaganda Department of Taichang Temple were responsible for playing music for the wedding celebration.
The Taiyue Department is not only a music academy, but also the country’s royal performance group. When encountering important sacrificial occasions, the Taiyue Department’s elegant music must show up, coordinate with the etiquette, and perform. At the same time, they must represent the country’s image and give
Those guests from foreign vassals who came to pay homage to the Emperor of Tang Dynasty performed national-level elegant music performances.
In a word: Although this is the second marriage, Brother Ji is really good to King Shou! It’s a lively event!
Every available pomp and circumstance was used.
Although Dayu did not build a "flower lighthouse" this time due to lack of funds, the fireworks around the Shou Prince's Palace were enough, and the lights and decorations inside and outside the palace were very lively. To be honest, when Shou Wang Li Chen married Yang Yuhuan, they were all
There is no such big pomp!
However, this time, Li Longji did not attend King Shou's wedding as before. The entire wedding process was presided over by his father-in-law Wei Zhaoxun.
It’s not okay for the father-in-law not to come, because his daughter is now... only nine years old! She doesn’t even know the meaning of the wedding!
This is an out-and-out political marriage. The bride is not even in the palace at this moment. The entire lively and grand wedding is for outsiders to see! It only swears to outsiders that King Shou has remarried to his former princess Yang Yuhuan.
The story has come to an end.
Wei Zhaoxun knows everything and understands everything. Regarding this matter, there are many people in the powerful circles in Chang'an City who have a clear understanding of it.
Under the surface of favor, the saint actually had a deep dislike for King Shou, without any love as a father. In order to possess the former Queen Shou Yang Yuhuan, the saint was already eager to arrange a new princess for King Shou.
, and make him "a widow" in the next few years!
For this reason, the saint's sister, Princess Yuzhen, was so angry that she went away to "practice Taoism" at Lingdu Monastery in Wangwushan, Jiyuan! But this did not change the saint's original intention at all!
In order to deceive others, Li Longji invited Yang Yuhuan, who was already a "Taoist priest", to "do things" in Xingqing Palace, and built a new building for her. It can be said that Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone!
The emperor's ability to remove the ashes was unprecedented, if not unprecedented.
But Wei Zhaoxun knew that he couldn't do anything, although he was also angry in his heart.
The Wei family in Jingzhao was the most prominent family of princesses and queens in the Tang Dynasty. This is a fact that cannot be changed. Every descendant of the Wei family is burdened with such a family background. To benefit from it, or to be implicated and suffer, the rules change from one to the next.
It is determined at birth and no one can escape it.
Not to mention that far away, the loyal king Li Heng married the Wei family's daughter as his princess. The Wei family could not disobey Li Longji's order. This marriage was actually decided half a year ago, but the wedding date was moved forward several times.
Year!
At first, Li Longji just sent Gao Lishi to Wei Zhaoxun's house to say hello and ask him to reject other people's marriage proposals, saying that the third daughter of the Wei family, Wei Shi, was already the scheduled concubine, and the wedding would be held in a few years.
Although Wei Zhaoxun knew that King Shou would not have a bright future, he thought that marriage would only happen several years later and there was no need to offend the saint for something that had not happened yet, so he agreed.
Unexpectedly, the so-called "several years" turned out to be half a year! Not even a year!
The saint in Chang'an looked too ugly when he was eating! He was almost impatient and didn't care what the world thought of him!
Wei Zhaoxun speculated that perhaps Li Longji fell in love with Yang Yuhuan just for fun, and after a taste of it, he discarded it like worn out shoes. This was the same as Taizong's humiliation of Li Yuanji's wife.
However, Taizong got tired of playing with his sister-in-law and didn't want to see that woman at all.
But Li Longji is obviously not like this. He has been deeply involved and cannot extricate himself. He is obsessed with Yang Yuhuan to the point of madness, so much so that he has obviously advanced his plan, regardless of the criticism of the world!
At this moment, the city of Chang'an was bustling with people, the outside of Prince Shou's Mansion was bustling, but the inside of Prince Shou's Mansion was deserted. After the guests dispersed, Prince Shou Li Xuan was sitting in the empty lobby of the palace. The servants around him had withdrawn.
My father-in-law, Wei Zhaoxun, is left here alone.
"Book of Rites: Hunyi" says: "When a father brings his son in marriage and orders him to greet him, the man comes before the daughter. The son accepts the order to welcome him, and the master is having a feast in the temple and bows to greet him outside the door. The son-in-law enters with a wild goose and bows to him.
When he ascends to the hall, he pays homage to the wild goose again, as a gesture of acceptance to his parents. When he comes down, he drives the wife's chariot, while the son-in-law teaches Sui, and drives the wheel for three weeks. He waits outside the door first. When the wife arrives, the son-in-law bows to her and enters, and they are imprisoned together.
And when they eat, they combine to eat, so they become one body, share the same dignity, and become close to each other.”
It means that after the bride arrives at the groom's house, everyone below her parents must go out through the small door and come back through the main door. The intention is to follow in the bride's footsteps.
After the bride enters the house, she first worships the pigs and oranges and the stove, and then worships the gods and earth, her ancestors, and then the couple pays homage to each other.
In the Tang Dynasty, the bride not only had to pay homage to her parents-in-law and husband's elders, but also to the guests who were watching the ceremony, which was called "worshiping guests".
All in all, the bride plays quite a role in the wedding, from the opening ceremony to the bridal chamber.
It’s just that King Shou’s wedding omitted all this process in order to avoid embarrassment. When a nine-year-old girl did something similar, it was King Shou and Wei Zhaoxun who were embarrassed on the surface, but in fact it was Li Longji who was disgraced.
The former Shou Princess Yang Yuhuan was robbed, and the new Shou Princess Wei Shi was still a child. This has already put Shou Wang Li Ling's spirit on the verge of collapse, so the guests attending the wedding were also very conscious and did not want to embarrass him. After drinking a glass of water and wine
He left the gift list and left without saying a word.
They neither wanted to ridicule or pity King Shou, nor did they want to get into trouble by talking about the saint.
"Father-in-law has worked hard today, please come back."
Li Han, who was wearing a crimson dress, bowed her hands and said with a calm expression, not knowing what she was thinking.
Wedding costumes in the Tang Dynasty were crimson for men and green for women, so-called red men and green women. Men's crimson costumes also have a metaphorical meaning of expecting the groom to become a high official. In fact, this was also influenced by the imperial examination system and evolved from the wedding attire of the Sui Dynasty.

"You are still young and your days are still long. Don't give up on yourself."
Wei Zhaoxun patted Li Chen on the shoulder and said, turned around and left.
It was not him who had his wife taken away by the emperor. Wei Zhaoxun was speechless and no one could comfort King Shou.
After his father-in-law left, Li Xuan became a real "lonely person". The hall of the palace was empty, the delicacies on the table had not been touched at all, and the sound of silk, bamboo, gongs and drums coming from outside the palace seemed to mock him as an incompetent prince.
"Why! Why! Why!"
Li Chen yelled three times and stretched out his hand to overturn the table filled with exquisite food. Unexpectedly, the table was too heavy and he couldn't move it!
He sat down on the ground dejectedly and beat the ground helplessly, all the strength in his body was drained away.
"I'm such a waste!"
…
King Shou's wedding is celebrated by the whole world.
Following Li Longji's edict, all government offices across the country have a day off!
Although there is no such thing as "holiday" in Hexi Bian Town, when the Tubo people came, officials had to get up and obey orders even if they were sleeping. But the news of King Shou's wedding, no, remarriage, was still reported with official documents and his residence.
The form was sent to Hexi Jiedu Mansion.
In the end, Fang Chongyong also saw this newspaper.
The content inside is very rich.
For example, Ji Ge participated in the autumn harvest celebration on the outskirts of Chang'an and performed the Nine Tui Ceremony; the longevity king's wedding, the princess was Wei Zhaoxun's third daughter, Chang'an Dachun; and even the Hexi Jiedu Prefecture sent troops to capture the Tubo New City.
There was also such nonsense news as the imperial court was building a canal in Guangyuntan on the outskirts of Chang'an; one day the officials from the capital performed a grand shooting ceremony in the south of Anfulou Building, etc. Fang Chongyong thought this was nutritious nonsense.
It's a bit similar to the newspaper in the previous life, but basically it talks about things related to government affairs; to be more precise, it's about things that are very close to the emperor! It's obviously Brother Ji's mouthpiece, reporting good news but not bad news.
Reminiscent of what happened to King Shou, a strange picture appeared in Fang Chongyong's mind.
When the longevity king Li Xuan was in the bridal chamber, although Wei Shi was in bed with the delicate and young Wei Shi, when he had sex, he called "Huan Huan" instead of "Wei Niang".
But in the bathhouse of Huaqing Palace, what Yang Yuhuan shouted was not King Shou, but "Sanlang".
Husband and wife are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they fly separately. Wow, this scene is so beautiful that I dare not look at it.
Fang Chongyong held the newspaper in his hand with a mean smile on his face.
The so-called comedy is the tragedy that happens to others. People cannot resonate with each other's emotions, and they cannot empathize with each other. After all, there are only a few people in the world who are eager for justice and justice, and the majority are just the masses who are watching.
They don't care if something happens to you, they just want to watch the fun, the more exciting the better!
"Are you thinking something strange?"
Anaye saw the evil smile on Fang Chongyong's face, interrupted him with a puzzled look and asked.
"Nothing strange."
Fang Chongyong put down his newspaper, stretched out and said.
"If you don't go and help your father, why are you here?"
Fang Chongyong asked curiously. Although his residence was not far from the medical center, he did not live in the medical center after all.
Fang Dafu and the others were all stationed at the Baiting Army and had not returned to Liangzhou City. The people currently serving Fang Chongyong were all soldiers of the Baiting Army, and their work was very rough, so Anaye came to deliver food to him every day.
Stop by to give this "little official" a wrist and arm massage.
This man from Chang'an joined the army and became addicted to writing letters to Qiu Yashiro, a military commander. He would write a hundred letters every day before he stopped.
It’s just that it’s not dinner time yet, so it’s not the time for Anaye to come.
"Hexi Jiedushi Cui Xiyi was dismissed..."
Anaye said softly.
Fang Chongyong's expression remained unchanged, he nodded slightly and said, "That's true, I've already been informed of this."
After all, Medical Officer Li is a member of the government. It is not unusual to know that the Hexi Jiedushi envoy has been replaced. It is normal for Anaye to know this. In fact, Fang Chongyong had already learned about it at the first time. Cui Xiyi's resignation was the general trend. Who
It's not easy to come.
After all, Cui Xiyi took the blame for Brother Ji because of the "renegade" issue. People in the government sympathized with him, but it was inevitable that his reputation among the people in Hexi was very bad.
There is nothing we can do about this. If you struggle, you will have to make sacrifices. Officials will not take the blame for the emperor every day or two, once or twice.
"The new Jiedu envoy is called Xiao Jiong. This person is so annoying!"
Anaye stamped her feet in anger.
Fang Chongyong was stunned for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "He wouldn't say he attacked a girl..."
"Where are you thinking! He is asking my father for medicine... the medicine you want my father to prepare!"
Anaye lowered her voice and reminded.
"Oh, let me tell you, Xiao Jiong is not such a vulgar person."
Fang Chongyong looked at Anaye's flat figure and said.
"Let me tell you something serious? If the prescription is taken away by Xiao Jiong, wouldn't our work be in vain?"
Anaye was afraid that Fang Chongyong would not understand the situation and was so anxious that she almost cried.
"It's good to come, I'm afraid he won't come."
Fang Chongyong chuckled.
Anaye was stunned when she heard this. With her limited mind, it was difficult to imagine what a cunning boy like Fang Chongyong was thinking.
"Let's go and pay a visit to the new Hexi Governor."
Fang Chongyong stood up and started to leave.
Anaye, however, held his sleeve and refused to let him go.
"Is it true that you will take me to Chang'an to study medicine in the future? You won't sell me to a powerful family to learn dancing, right?"
Anaye asked with a sad look on her face.
Even though you are the illegitimate daughter of King Xin'an, I can't do this! You are not afraid of embarrassment, but King Xin'an's family is still afraid of embarrassment!
Fang Chongyong sighed in his heart, but nodded solemnly and said expressionlessly: "Don't worry, I won't lie to a half-year-old child."
"Aren't you just a half-grown child yourself?"
Anaye felt bad after hearing what the other party said.
Fang Chongyong was too lazy to pay attention to her, thinking about Xiao Jiong's affairs.
Cui Xiyi is a decent person, and Fang Chongyong doesn't know how to discuss many things with him. But Xiao Jiong is different. I heard that this person is very "flexible" in his handling of things. It is best to deal with this kind of villain who hides his penis.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is nothing more than four words: seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. If you control these four words, you will control their destiny!
The two came to the medical center. As soon as they entered the pharmacy, they saw Xiao Jiong looking around, as if he was looking for something. Doctor Li, on the other hand, was sitting in a wheelchair, following Xiao Jiong without saying a word.
"These medicinal materials seem to be very common. The medicine that the sage hopes is the kind that can have immediate effects."
Xiao Jiong said slowly.
"Returning to Jieshuai, that kind of medicine generally depletes one's vitality, especially some medicines from the Western Regions. They should not be given to saints!"
Doctor Li told the truth.
"Of course the handsome man knows that those medicines are not effective, so he came to see you."
Xiao Jiong said impatiently.
"What kind of wind brings Xiao Jieshuai here?"
Fang Chongyong stepped forward, bowed his hands to Xiao Jiong and said.
Xiao Jiong knew very well about Fang Chongyong's identity. He quickly stepped forward to return the courtesy and looked at Anaye beside Fang Chongyong, seeming to understand something.
"Fang Canjun's father is a close official of the emperor. There are things I can say to Fang Canjun, but it is not convenient for outsiders to know."
Xiao Jiong hinted very openly.
Medical Officer Li immediately left with Anaye, and only Xiao Jiong and Fang Chongyong were left here.
"This commander in chief has the title of Jiedu Envoy, but does not receive the title of Chishui Military Envoy. Do you know why he joined the army?"
Seeing that the outsiders had left, Xiao Jiong asked calmly.
"I am afraid that Commander Xiao Jie's search for medicine for the saint is his first priority, and the military affairs in Hexi are the second priority. The Chishui military envoy has always had the power to preside over Liangzhou's military affairs. It does not make much difference whether Commander Xiao Jie takes charge of the affairs."
Fang Zhongyong crossed his hands and saluted and said.
Xiao Jiong was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "The right minister said that you are a child prodigy in Chang'an, different from ordinary people. Now it seems that I still underestimate you. Yes, one of them is to be an official in Hexi, and more importantly, to help
Sage, let’s find out if there is any magical prescription in the Western Regions.”
That's right, he came to Hexi just to help Li Longji find a "prescription." What specific prescription is it? It is naturally a good medicine that can be taken every day and is both healthy and XX!
In the Hexi Corridor, those who are close to the water come first, and many of the advanced technologies of the Tang Dynasty were passed over from the Western Regions and then developed. Ji Ge's idea is not only not strange, but it is in line with the thinking mode of this era.
There are no expensive prescriptions in the Imperial Medical Office, so why would Brother Ji care about the tiger and wolf medicine of "Ten Women at Night"? Life is short, how can you take medicine that will shorten your life!
You know, Li Longji is now fifty-three and has two months to live until he is fifty-four years old!
These days, ordinary people are considered lucky if they can live to be fifty years old. Li Longji is already fifty-four years old, how can he still torture his body?
As for the position of the next Hexi Jiedushi, the court is still debating and has not yet decided.
Li Longji preferred Wang Zhongsi and promoted him nearby to familiarize himself with the situation, while Li Linfu hoped that Zhangchou Jianqiong, the envoy of Jiannan Jiedushi, would be transferred to Hexi. Therefore, Xiao Jiong was a transitional figure, and he would leave after finding the medicine for Brother Ji.
Hexi.
"This is not the place to talk. If Xiao Jieshuai doesn't mind, please discuss it in detail in the study room of Jiedu Mansion. I have something important to report."
Fang Chongyong said with a mysterious face.
"whats the matter?"
Xiao Jiong doesn't want to be led by the nose by Fang Chongyong.
"A matter of great importance to the well-being of the saint."
Fang Chongyong looked at Xiao Jiong with his head held high and his momentum was overwhelming!
"Well, that's fine."
Xiao Jiong, who didn't have much ink in his stomach, was a few ranks behind Cui Xiyi in knowledge, and a few ranks behind Zheng Shuqing in background. In the end, his flaw was exposed in front of Fang Yanei, who had a profound background and was as cunning as a ghost.
