Chapter seven hundred and eighteenth marriage change
In the fifth year of the Second Qin Dynasty, March 16th, everything is appropriate, taboo, and there are no taboos.
This day is an auspicious day specially calculated by the new Qin Tian Supervisor and the current head of the Yin Yang family. It is also the day when Hu Hai officially marries Lu Fei.
According to Qin etiquette, all civil and military officials entered Xianyang Palace early in the morning. Under the leadership of Hu Hai, they prayed to heaven and worshiped the ancestral temple...
When this tedious process was completed, most of the day had passed, and the rising sun gradually turned into the setting sun.
After the basic ceremony, the civil and military officials divided into two waves.
Zong Zheng and Feng Chang, together with some ceremony officials, led the wedding procession, beat gongs and drums, and rushed to the Lu Mansion in great joy.
The remaining civil and military officials, headed by Prime Minister Chen Ping, came to the banquet place and took their seats under the guidance of a group of internal servants.
Just waiting for the bride to be picked up, the last part of the ceremony can be completed - the worship hall and the bridal chamber.
Today is Hu Hai's wedding. Except for a small number of generals on duty at Chang'an City and Xianyang Palace, most of the Qin officials were invited to Xianyang Palace.
There are so many people that a single Yangxin Hall cannot accommodate them.
Officials of the Fengchang Mansion have already made arrangements for this. For example, the three gongs, nine ministers, and some people with higher titles can have a place in the Yangxin Hall, while the rest are arranged in other palaces.
With Lin Ze's identity and prestige, he was undoubtedly placed first on the right side of the main seat, followed by Prime Minister Chen Ping, who was known as the leader of the officials, first on the left side of the main seat.
At that time, Hu Hai will take his queen, Lu Pheasant, to sit on the steps and receive congratulations from all the important ministers.
There was still some time before the worship hall, and Lin Ze, who was bored, sat cross-legged on his seat, lightly closed his eyes, and secretly ran the improved mysterious method of replenishing the body, racing against time to grow his soul.
In order to replenish his vitality, Lin Ze would take out a seventh-grade heavenly material from time to time, chew it in two mouthfuls and swallow it as if he were eating a jujube.
Lin Ze, who is in a state of cultivation, gives people the feeling that strangers should not approach him.
The heads of the three families of Meng Xibai and others who originally wanted to get close to each other stopped, stood on their seats, bowed to Lin Ze from afar, and formed a group to communicate in low voices.
It wasn't until the sky was getting dark and there was a noise outside the Yangxin Hall that Lin Ze opened his eyes and stood up slowly.
The bride has arrived.
The first person to enter the hall was Huang Banban. After entering the hall, he leaned to the side and shouted in a high voice: "Welcome Your Majesty and the Queen."
Led by Chen Ping, everyone in the palace bowed and saluted: "I respectfully welcome Your Majesty and the Queen."
Hu Hai, who was wearing a full imperial robe, was holding Lv Zhi, who was wearing a phoenix crown and a garland. As the ministers were saluting, they looked ahead and walked into the hall slowly and quickly, stepped over the steps, came to the main seat, and faced everyone.
Hu Hai slowly glanced at the people in the hall with eyes that did not contain emotions or anger. When he passed by Lin Ze, he couldn't help but pause for a moment, and an inexplicable smile appeared on his face.
Shi Shiran sat down, and Hu Haifang said in a calm tone: "Your Majesty, please do not bow down and take your seats."
Everyone immediately stood up and sat on their knees, waiting for the banquet to begin.
Only Lin Ze sat cross-legged.
In his opinion, although kneeling down is an ancient ritual, it is easily associated with the island country and he instinctively resists it.
And because of his special situation, following one's will can strengthen one's soul, Lin Ze simply let himself go.
Anyway, there is not much difference between sitting cross-legged and sitting on your knees.
Lin Ze's actions were noticed by Hu Hai, who instinctively frowned, but for some reason, he could only turn a blind eye.
Huang Banban stood next to Hu Hai and asked in a low voice. After receiving a positive answer, his sharp voice resounded through the hall: "The dinner has begun, the dishes will be served."
A group of palace maids and eunuchs filed in, removed the snacks in front of everyone, and placed fine wine and delicacies on the table.
Then it went directly to the completion of the ceremony.
Huang Banban stood aside and shouted loudly: "A toast to heaven, a match made in heaven."
Hu Hai and Lu Zhi stood up as instructed, raised their heads slightly, raised the wine bottles high, paused for three breaths, and then drank them all in one gulp.
"A toast to the ground, unparalleled on earth."
Hu Hai and Lu Zhi picked up the second cup, bowed slightly, held the wine bottle in both hands, placed it on their chests, paused for three breaths, and drank again.
"A glass of toast to each other, harmony, happiness and good health."
Hu Hai and Lu Zhi picked up the third cup, faced each other, bowed slightly, looked at each other and smiled, and drank the cup.
"It's done."
As soon as the words finished, everyone stood up and raised their glasses, saying in unison: "Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to the queen."
Hu Hai and Lu Zhi also raised their glasses in response. At this moment, they were the well-deserved protagonists.
"I am very happy today, and I hope that you and your friends will not get drunk or return home, and have fun."
For a time, there was a lot of cheering and laughter.
After a group of dancers finished their song, the atmosphere became even more intense.
As the dancers retreated and the atmosphere dropped, Hu Hai suddenly stood up, looked at everyone with a smile, and said in an excited tone: "How can you have fun today?"
The ministers cheered: "Long live your Majesty."
Hu Hai held the wine bottle, straightened his body, and said with a serious face: "Today, I want to thank one person. I want to thank him for always being loyal to me, working hard for me, and working hard for the Qin Dynasty."
Some of the drunken ministers were stunned at first, and then looked surprised, wondering why Hu Hai suddenly said these words.
You Shang remained awake and had already set his sights on Lin Ze.
Without giving everyone too much time to guess, Hu Hai pointed directly at Lin Ze and said: "Yes, this person is the Great Qin Champion Hou Linze."
For a moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Ze.
Feeling everyone's doubtful, hot and envious gazes, Lin Ze stood up with a calm face and bowed his hands to Hu Hai calmly: "Your Majesty, Miao Zan, I feel ashamed to receive it."
When Hu Hai heard this, he said with excitement: "You are definitely worthy of being the champion. If you hadn't turned the tide and led the army to put down the rebellion in all directions, it's unclear whether I would be able to sit on this dragon's chair today."
"Could it be that in the eyes of the champion, this is not considered a great achievement?"
Lin Ze pondered for a moment, then said with a slight hesitation: "I think I should forget it."
Then Lin Ze realized that something was wrong and added: "Since His Majesty has already opened the mouth of Chrysostom, it must have been settled."
After saying these words, the atmosphere that Hu Hai had aroused suddenly dropped a lot.
Hu Hai's face was flushed and he seemed a little drunk. He said loudly: "I would like to express my gratitude to the champion on this special day. I hope that the champion will accept it."
"Queen, toast to the champion."
Hu Hai's words were nothing short of a storm, and all the officials in the palace were immediately drunk.
The Queen toasts, what kind of honor is this?
Lu Pheasant turned around and looked at Hu Hai with a face full of astonishment, somewhat incomprehensible.
"Go," Hu Hai looked at Lu Pheasant and said with an unquestionable tone.
Lu Fei was angry and anxious now. He turned around and saw all the officials in the hall staring at him, so he had to suppress his anger.
In public, as a queen, if she quarreled with the emperor, she would be completely embarrassed.
In comparison, toasting a minister seems not so difficult to accept, especially if this minister has a high position and extraordinary status.
After all, it is not unheard of for an emperor to condescend to help his ministers pull a cart.
The eunuch serving at the side very thoughtfully took a new wine bottle, filled it with wine, and held it in front of Lu Pheasant.
Lu Zhi took the wine bottle, took a deep look at Hu Hai, and walked towards Lin Ze.
Although Hu Hai was smiling, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his eye.
"I would like to give a toast to the champion."
Lu Zhi looked calm and handed the wine bottle to Lin Ze.
Lin Ze sighed slightly when he saw this, looked at Hu Hai and said: "Such a great gift, I really can't bear it, your majesty, please take it back."
The smile on Hu Hai's face did not diminish, and he persuaded: "This is an honor earned by the champion with blood and sweat, so why should the champion refuse?"
Lin Ze still shook his head and said: "I have made some meritorious deeds, but Your Majesty treats me as a high-ranking official with generous salary. I have never been treated badly at all. Naturally, I shouldn't drink this wine."
The smile on Hu Hai's face suddenly disappeared, and his tone was cold: "So, the champion doesn't want to give me this face?"
Lin Ze sighed and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This wine minister really doesn't dare to drink because I don't know if he will die suddenly if he drinks this poisonous wine."
As soon as these words came out, it was like thunder exploding out of thin air, and everyone in the audience was shocked.
