Chapter 156
It has been a long time since there has been such a grand event in the world. After the envoys from all countries arrived, the Queen's Conferment Ceremony was held as scheduled.At the beginning, everyone thought that the host of this wedding was Huang Jin alone, which marked that he got married and started a career.Unexpectedly, Cheng Yufeng was also the protagonist, and she had already announced that she wanted to join the Tzu Chi Bureau in the city.Cheng Yufeng's prestige in China was already very high, and now some people even called this grand event the "Secret Empress Ceremony".
The wedding of the king of a country is naturally solemn and solemn. Because of Huang Jin's policy of protecting the environment and the people and caring for the people, it is more lively and cordial than solemn. Many people spontaneously offered their blessings for the wedding of the emperor and empress.
After worshiping the heaven and earth, the emperor and the empress walked around the city for a week, and then turned back to the palace to meet with their parents and entertain all the officials.Huang Jin's wedding is also very strange, there is no such precedent in the world, the son is the emperor, Laozi is the emperor, and the queen's master, such a relationship makes the officials who formulate the etiquette system scratch their heads.
When the emperor's carriage circled the city, there should not be too many people shouting "Long live". The overwhelming shouts, as the carriage moved, were like waves, surging layer by layer.If the emperor and empress waved to both sides through the tulle curtain, the shout would be even more enthusiastic.At this time, the distance between the royal family and the people was not so far, and the carriages of the emperors and empresses passed by, and the people did not need to kneel and kowtow. Instead, some female officials threw copper coins along the road to have fun with the people.
Jia Sidao changed into civilian attire, stood in the crowd, crowded with the people, and listened to the overwhelming shouts and blessings.The first female officer passed by, and the copper coins were directly sprinkled into the crowd, and countless people jumped up to fight for them, "Oh, this is a blessing, take it back and let the youngest son in the family enjoy the blessing of the emperor."
There were also soldiers maintaining order who kept shouting: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, beware of being trampled, beware of being trampled!"
"I know, I know, the chief of the village has preached how to prevent trampling when there are too many people, I know! I know! Oh, my brother, you have worked hard on duty, and the old man will give you one if you snatch a few more!" An old man with a gray beard rubbed his hand. A few copper coins, took out one and stuffed it in the arms of the little brother who maintained order. The little brother was so embarrassed that his face was flushed, and he didn't know how to put the long hair in his hand.
"No, no, we have to send it!"
"I know this too. I heard that you people who eat at the public house eat thirty coins each, right? My neighbor's elder brother has also joined the army and is guarding the border!" A young man huddled together laughed.
"There are more border guards than us, sixty. Your Majesty said that the border guards defended their homes and the country with their lives, and used their flesh and blood to resist the wind and snow for us. Naturally, they received more than the people in the capital." The brother on duty loudly promoted the national policy .
"It's all His Majesty's mercy! It's all His Majesty's mercy!" The old man shouted loudly, the people who were brought in the military town, no one had a few soldiers, and the superiors treated the soldiers as human beings. Their family members were also very grateful, and the old man was so excited Eye sockets are red.
"Hey, Father Zhou, don't piss on the cat, your Majesty's happy day..." The people next to him persuaded.
"Father Zhou? Is it from Zhoujiakou Village in the east of the city?" the brother on duty couldn't help asking.
"Zhoujiakou? No! My uncle and grandpa's family is from the Zhoujiakou. Why, brother, you are from the Zhoujiakou?" When the little brother nodded to confirm, Father Zhou slapped his thigh and said loudly: "Someone from Zhoujiakou is here! Zhou Fugui! Zhou Fugui!"
Father Zhou yelled loudly, and was about to squeeze across. The brother on duty could not leave his spot, so he could only shout loudly: "Don't squeeze, don't squeeze, be careful not to step on it!"
This funny appearance made the people around laugh. At this moment, the female officer who was throwing money at the end of the line came over again, and there was another climax of looting in the crowd.
Jia Sidao also picked up a copper coin by chance, and was flushed and sweaty by the excited people. At that time, he should sit in the hall and have a banquet, but Jia Sidao put a double there, and he had to witness the long wedding with his own eyes before giving up.
The two tried their best to get out, sweating profusely in the early winter weather, Chang Sui couldn't help sighing: "The people in Datong are crazy, but the new emperor is rich." Chang Sui also snatched some happy money, curious Take it in your hand and play with it.
"Everyone in the court praises this 'kind and kind' monarch, they should really let them see what it means to be popular." Jia Sidao sighed, did the officials think that Huaguo stopped here?No, look at how their monarch is loved by the people, and how their soldiers are treated preferentially, and you will know that the emperor of Huaguo has not given up fighting for world hegemony, but is recharging his energy! "The army and the people are united, and the monarch and ministers are united. Can our Great Song Dynasty compare with Huaguo?"
Jia Sidao sighed, in his prediction, there would be a battle between Song Dynasty and Huaguo sooner or later, now that Huaguo is thriving, with strong soldiers and horses, and common people working hard, Song Dynasty can't compare with it.Jia Sidao was the son of the famous general Jia She. He was a born warrior. He never flinched even when facing the Mongolian iron cavalry. He was different from ordinary literati in the Song Dynasty.
"Master, don't sigh, hurry up, the banquet is about to begin." The long follower didn't know Jia Sidao's concern for the country and the people, he only knew that if they left, they would reveal their secrets.
Jia Sidao, holding the badge of the Song Dynasty mission, entered the palace again as a low-ranking official, changed attire with the substitute in the dressing room, and sat upright in the main hall.There were quite a few people like him in the hall, and even the Mongolian Prince Tuolei didn't hide his identity, and went to watch the excitement before returning to sit down.Jia Sidao also understands that they can transfer flowers and trees so easily, Hua Guo officials must know, but they just turned a blind eye.
After Huang Jin and Cheng Yufeng completed a series of political etiquette procedures such as worshiping the ancestors of Tiandi Sheji, they bowed down to their parents like ordinary people getting married.This ceremony was insisted on by Huang Jin. The general emperor's wedding ceremony is not like this. In theory, the emperor is the most noble person in the world. Even if he wants to meet his parents, he has to wait until the wedding is completed.
This simple ceremony was completed under the witness of Taohua Island disciples. Huang Yaoshi sat at the head, with Feng Heng's tablet on his right.There were no palace eunuchs in the side hall, Huang Rong was the one supporting Cheng Yufeng, Feng Mofeng was laying futons for them, and Qu Linfeng was the master of ceremonies.
One bows to heaven and earth, two bows to the high hall, couples bow to each other, and the ceremony is completed.
Huang Jin helped Cheng Yufeng up, knelt down and bowed again: "I thank my father for nurturing and teaching me, my son has officially grown up today."
"Apprentice, thank you master for your kindness, and pay homage to father-in-law!" Cheng Yufeng also knelt down in a hurry.
"Okay, okay, beautiful son and beautiful wife, your mother must be happy when she sees it, get up!" Huang Yaoshi rarely added a red tulle gown on top of his Tsing Yi. many.
Huang Jin helped Cheng Yufeng up again, and said, "Please invite father to the Lizheng Hall for a banquet."
Huang Yaoshi waved his hand and said: "I won't go, the red tape is not tiring. If you are not the emperor, it is not easy to confront the world's literati. Why do you want to be too emperor? I don't want to be the emperor. I am still a man of the rivers and lakes. Pharmacist, you go on your own."
Huang Jin wanted to persuade him again, but Qu Linfeng shook his head slightly to signal, Huang Jin could only bow and said: "The child is unfilial, and I have wronged my father."
Huang Yaoshi laughed and went out, and went to the apse, where there was a palace room specially prepared for him.
"Congratulations, brother, sister, and sister!" After Huang Yaoshi left, several brothers and sisters congratulated them with smiles on their faces.
"Don't make trouble, don't make trouble, you come to make fun of me too." Huang Jin called out quickly.
Everyone was laughing and making noises, Mei Chaofeng was even clamoring to lend them his son to press the bed, and joked about their early birth of a son, laughing and laughing.It didn't take long for the crowd to be happy, and the courtesy officer outside reported, "Your Majesty, the time has come."
Huang Jin suppressed his smile, and several fellow seniors also put away their smiling faces. After leaving this door, they are not brothers from the same sect, but belong to monarchs and ministers.
Huang Jin took Cheng Yufeng to another side hall to change clothes first, and changed into less cumbersome, but still heavy and complicated dresses. Several brothers and sisters already had positions in the court, so they went to the Lizheng Hall to sit down and wait.
"This wedding is so boring. I have prepared countless reminder poems to no avail." Seeing that Cheng Yufeng was not in a good mood, Huang Jin pretended to be decadent.
"Why, you really want to have an authentic show, why don't you invite famous prostitutes to help us welcome you!" Cheng Yufeng laughed.According to the custom, when the man greets the bride, he must be accompanied by famous official prostitutes and private prostitutes. Whoever hires a more famous prostitute will have a greater wedding limelight. This is a folk wedding custom.Not to mention that Huang Jin didn't like this kind of custom, even when the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty was established, he didn't dare to do it, no matter how much the emperor himself pursued prostitutes.
Cheng Yufeng sighed, how could she not know that the political significance of this wedding was greater than the union of two people.There are eight female officials throwing money in the team. The daughters of the rich, the famous, the heroic, and the common people each have their own backgrounds. There are several "generals" and "adults" standing on each person or behind her. So, no matter how bad it is, she is a heroine who followed Cheng Yufeng and made illustrious military exploits.When choosing female officials, it took a lot of effort to balance all parties.You can see the whole leopard at a glance, just look at the choice of female officials, and you can know how much political meaning this wedding carries.
Even the prostration to the high hall was forced by Huang Jin with the authority of the founding monarch. This wedding was held for the public to see.
After thinking about it, Cheng Yufeng laughed again, the bigger and the more hypocritical, what other people see has nothing to do with their husband and wife, as long as they are clear in their hearts.
With the help of the female officer, Cheng Yufeng changed out of the layers of dresses with a smile. The bead hairpin at one end was at least twenty catties, even a martial arts practitioner couldn't stop it.Changing into a lighter dress, Huang Jin and Cheng Yufeng went to the Lizheng Hall together, and hosted a banquet for the envoys of various countries and the civil and military officials of Huaguo.
The Lizheng Palace is usually the place where the government is held, but Huaguo is newly established, and many rules and regulations are being formulated. This time, in order to show its strength, the palace banquet was directly set at the most magnificent Lizheng Palace.
When the ceremonial officer shouted: "The emperor is here! The empress is here!", there was still a rustling sound in the hall. It was the sound of clothes rubbing, and everyone couldn't help making small movements and looking at each other.Several envoys from other countries couldn't help whispering. They had heard that the Queen of Hua was favored a long time ago, but they didn't expect to even bring them to the palace banquet.
The author has something to say: Let me tell you a funny thing: I just learned to mix wine, and I started with vodka, because I mixed it with fruit juice and drank sweet and sour. After I finished, I was completely confused.By the time I remembered it the next morning, I was already lying in bed and fast asleep.Is this the legendary Fragmented Wine?The wine of the fighting nation really deserves its reputation...
For this reason, only one chapter was updated yesterday, and I will try to add a few more chapters today.
