The winter in Yuanzhou City is coming soon. So far, Zhong Lishuo has been living again in this strange and familiar capital for a year.
Yunzhongwang's car arrived at the West Bank Pier in Yuanzhou from Yunzhou on a sunny winter day. Zhong Lishuo went to the pier in person to welcome Zhong Limu who came from the south.
After many years, the two siblings are truly reunited.
In the middle of the winter, due to the pressure of the Qing Kingdom, the northern tribe far away in Hanzhou finally had an infighting in the cold winter. The prince's mother, the Qingtian tribe, betrayed and beheaded Ming Geqi, the king of Subei, in the tent.
So far, more than a dozen large and small tribes in Hanzhou have been torn apart, and the Eagle Empire established by Subei has collapsed. The Qing Kingdom gathered the first batch of tribes that were vassals and asked them to raise horses for the Qing Kingdom together with the Xian people in Lanzhou.
Xuan Jingchen decreed that the ministers of Jiuyan Temple go to Hanzhou for peace talks, integrate the remaining major tribes, canonize Su He as the king of Subei, and become the new king of the grasslands.
Because Su He was young, Xuan Jingchen did not order him to return to Subei immediately, but ordered Cui Jian, the governor of Wanzhou, the minister of Jiuyan Temple, and the leader of the Qingtian tribe to temporarily handle all matters concerning King Subei. And it is stated that the subsequent King Subei will be handed over to the emperor of the Qing Kingdom for canonization.
And before each King of Subei is crowned, he must be sent to Hongwen Hall to study.
In this way, after a hundred years, there will be no more turbulent barbarians. The unification of the world is unstoppable.
The victory of the foreign expedition greatly enhanced the status of Xuan Jingchen in the hearts of the common people. The people almost regarded her as the first emperor Zhong Lijin or the emperor Wenjing and the two emperors.
The Qing Dynasty has risen to the level of the four seas, and gradually revealed the signs of prosperity.
Therefore, on New Year's Eve this year, the people of Yuanzhou City set off fireworks on the banks of Liangshui.
Bright fireworks exploded in the night sky, illuminating the night as bright as day.
The east wind blooms thousands of trees at night, and it blows down even more, the stars are like rain.
The fireworks tonight are even brighter than the feast at Yulong Pavilion last year.
Xuan Jingchen took Zhong Lishuo along with the ministers to the highest star-gazing tower in Yuanzhou City. It's almost midnight, and it's a new year in the blink of an eye.
When the people raised their heads and chanted His Majesty Qianqiu together, Zhong Lishuo looked at Xuan Jingchen with a smile, and together with her grabbed the ropes of the huge bronze bell of the Guanxing Tower, and in the chanting of the chief commander , rang the bell.
when... when... when...
The heavy and deep bell rang nine times in total, from the distant Zhaixing Tower to every corner of the noisy Yuanzhou City. The delighted people raised their heads, looked at the towering star-gazing tower in the city, and shouted for the prosperity of the Qing Kingdom.
This is the beginning of the new year and the beginning of the prosperous kingdom.
After New Year's Eve, the Ministry of Rites and Jian Tiansi prepared the emperor's wedding ceremony together. In February, Yuanzhou City was under martial law everywhere. Under the leadership of Jinpaowei under the leadership of Su Yanqing, messengers from all over the world entered Yuanzhou in an orderly manner.
The people all over the world know that their holy monarch is about to get married, like the tranquility before the storm, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time.
On the early morning of February 14, with the first sound of firecrackers in Dingguo Palace, Yuanzhou City, which had been quiet for a long time, began to be noisy all day long.
This was the first grand event of the Qing Dynasty royal family.
The Ministry of Rites and the Superintendent of Heaven obeyed the ancient rituals, and ordered the imperial husband Zhong Lishuo to ride a horse from the east gate to greet the queen, then Jin Paowei and Yuanzhou soldiers and horses cleared the way, walked around the east and west long streets outside the imperial city, returned from the west gate, and finally at the center of the palace The ceremony was performed in front of the altar to worship the Eastern Emperor.
After that, Baiguan held a banquet in the Golden Light Pavilion, and the wedding ended.
As the bridegroom, in the early morning of this day, Zhong Lishuo, accompanied by Zhong Limu, Yang Yuting of Jinpaowei, and many aristocratic children, rode a red horse to the east gate of the palace with the juvenile ministers of Tiansi.
Golden robe guards stood on both sides of the street, blocking the curious people. Zhong Lishuo rode on his horse and walked towards Xuan Jingchen in the dim morning light. The sound of firecrackers was heard all the way, and the people on both sides of the road set off firecrackers by themselves to express their congratulations.
Compared with Zhong Lishuo's lively experience when he got up, Xuan Jingchen, who was in the palace, had a very normal morning.
The maids waited on her to put on a red wedding dress, painted the most delicate makeup, and busy dressing her up as the most beautiful bride. Xuan Jingchen sat in front of the bronze mirror, watching the maid behind him comb his long black hair to the end, muttering words and saying good blessings, and his peripheral vision landed on another blurred figure in the bronze mirror. .
The eldest princess, Xuan Jingan, was sitting behind the queen, looking at the maid who was dressing the queen, with anxiety in her eyes, "What time is it, why not hurry up?"
It was clearly the eldest sister's big wedding, but the eldest princess was even more nervous than the parties involved, urging the maids frequently.
Xuan Jingchen sighed and said, "The auspicious time is right now. It's still very early. Don't rush An An."
Xuan Jingan shook hands and looked out the door again, clearly already Chen Zheng. Just at this moment, the little princess Xuan Jingning hurried in and said, "Brother-in-law's people have passed through the East Street, and now they have to pass through the imperial city."
When Xuan Jingan heard this, he was shocked, looked at the imperial elder sister who was still dressing up, and called out, "Sister..."
"I know, I know, then hurry up." Xuan Jingchen instructed the waiter to comb her hair into a bun, wrap her last wedding dress, and sit in front of the palace waiting for Zhong Lishuo to pick her up.
The marriage customs of Chu State vary from place to place. For example, in Wanzhou, the bride has to cover her head when she gets married, but in Lizhou, Yunzhou, Yuanzhou and other places, she can show her face.
Because of this, Xuan Jingchen, the emperor, was sitting in front of the desk at this moment, wearing a wedding dress and having breakfast quietly. She doesn't look like a bride to marry, but a lord who is waiting for a servant to welcome her.
Xuan Jing'an looked at the calm Xuan Jingchen, thinking about her wedding with the prince many years ago, she also took it so indifferently, looking at the anxious self, she envied the eldest sister's calmness.
She thought for a while, and then said to Xuan Jingning who stopped people at the east gate as usual: "A Ning, I will go with you."
Forget it, she doesn't plan to accompany her eldest sister, it might be more interesting to stop her husband at the door.
Thinking so, the two sisters brought a group of noble ladies from Yuanzhou and Jinpaowei to the east gate to wait for the arrival of the welcoming team.
Towards the beginning of the year, the mighty sound of drums reached the east gate far away. The eldest princess and the little princess climbed up the city gate and watched a long red dragon collide towards the east gate from a distance. They quickly called Jinpaowei to close the east gate and prepared a posture to stop their relatives.
They stood on top of the tower, looking at the winding procession that appeared, waiting for them.
As we got closer, the sound of the drums was loud, and even the low-pitched chants of the commanders became clear.
The beautiful singing is very pleasant to the ear, especially in the joyous drums. The ladies whispered to each other and asked what song it was. When they heard it clearly, they knew what the commanders were singing:
"Take care of your salary, three stars are in heaven. Today and tomorrow, see this sweet man."
"Zi Xi He Xi, such a good man!"
"Second sister, what are they singing?" As they got closer, the voices became more and more powerful. The voices of men and women were mixed together, and they merged into an incomparably grand piece of music.
Xuan Jing'an was slightly surprised, looked at the welcoming team that came, and replied, "It's 'Preservation'."
She knew this song, and Chu folk especially liked to use this song to welcome relatives. Legend has it that in the pre-Chu period, Zhong Lijin, the first emperor of the King of Chu, in order to marry Princess Zhao, took Si Ming and sang a plan to go out to Lizhou for thirty miles to greet the new princess, as a sign of solemnity.
Therefore, the monarchs of the Chu Kingdom of all dynasties liked to welcome the queen in this way.
Just thinking about it, Haohao's team came to the east gate. Across a long distance, Xuan Jingan looked at the young lady in the red robe, who was about to say something, but saw the other party raise his hand, and the red-clothed commander who was walking in front leaped up the tower like a bird with wings. , and embraced every noble lady who stopped her relatives.
The commanders in red are all young girls, handsome and unparalleled. The little princess was hugged, and she didn't forget to shout, "I'm holding you back, you want some money!" But Si Ming, who was in red, hugged her with a smile, and jumped down with his arms around her. Ready right away.
All the noble ladies landed on their horses, and were carried by the commander in red and drove straight towards the east gate.
"Take care of yourselves, Samsung is in the corner, today and tomorrow, see this encounter."
"Zi Xizi, such an encounter!"
The youths who were welcoming their relatives sang loudly, knocked open the east gate, and walked straight towards the palace.
The little princess muttered why her husband didn't follow common sense, but she happily expanded Zhong Lishuo's wedding reception team, and followed them to knock on the door of the palace.
The Zhen Zhen song reached Xuan Jingchen's ears, she sat upright in the hall, waiting for Zhong Lishuo to pick her up.
"Be careful, Samsung is at home."
Outside the hall, the golden-robed guard's halberd fell to the ground, stopped, and stamped on the halberd to meet the singing of the boys.
Red-clothed Si Ming led Zhong Lishuo's horse to the front of the hall, took her off the horse, and pushed her. The mighty red-clothed Si Ming, led by the big Si Ming, broke open the gate of the hall and surrounded Xuan Jingchen amid the singing of the boys.
"Today and night, see this charming person."
With a smile, Zhong Lishuo walked up the stairs and walked to Xuan Jingchen step by step.
The commanders shouted, "Zixizixi, who sees this charm!"
She smiled, looked at the gentle Xuan Jingchen, leaned over and hugged her, turned and walked out of the hall.
The time has come, and the bright morning light hit the golden armor of the golden guards, and also fell on the red-robed boy who was welcoming the kiss. Zhong Lishuo carried Xuan Jingchen across the red-clothed ministers, and listened to them singing repeatedly: "Today and night, see this sweet man!"
In the glorious spring light, he hugged Xuan Jingchen and landed on his horse. She got on her horse, hugged Xuan Jingchen in her arms, and walked towards the bustling East and West Street outside the palace.
Da Siming stood on the carriage in front of the snare drum and opened the way with a consonance. The teenagers sang plan, celebrating their monarch's wedding. In bursts of loud voices, Xuan Jingchen smiled, leaned in Zhong Lishuo's arms and asked in a low voice, "This is your Chu people's wedding?"
Zhong Lishuo nodded and responded with a smile: "Yes, this is our Chu people's wedding."
She thought about how many years ago she was waiting in front of the East Palace for the arrival of Xuan Jingchen's car, the dull and boring wedding witnessed by hundreds of officials, and said earnestly, "Today and night, see this sweet man."
"From now on, you are my wife."
Xuan Jingchen nodded, leaned in Zhong Lishuo's arms, walked out of the palace gate with her, and went to see the people of the world.
Wanmin testified, hundreds of officials greeted each other, and under the eyes of the East Emperor, they were the people who supported each other throughout their lives, and even death could not separate them.
She finally married Zhong Lishuo.
