The news of the King of Shu's wedding spread to every corner of the Western Shu Road almost instantly.
The sensation caused by this incident was no less than when King Shu entered the vassal state in great power.
That day, His Royal Highness, the young King of Shu, dressed in white and python, rode into Jinguan City alone. His appearance was extremely beautiful and his grace was unparalleled. He immediately stole the splendor and hearts of the girls in Shu. Such a powerful and extraordinary person was about to get married. , just like the knights and knights in the world watched the beauty of Rouge Ping marry into a woman, even if the women knew that such a person did not belong to them, they would feel a deep pity in their hearts.
The heads of wealthy families in Sichuan also felt it was a pity.
Because all the specifications of the King of Shu's wedding were in accordance with the style of marrying a royal concubine, the person in charge of this matter was the red-robed eunuch Han Diao Si, who had a great background, which meant that the outsider from the Lu family in Qingzhou The woman Lu Chengyan will become the royal concubine of the King of Shu. In one leap, she will transform from the legitimate daughter of a noble family to the nominal mistress of the land of Shu.
And if it is just the name of a concubine of the King of Shu, it will be difficult for these wealthy families who have been trapped in Shu for many years to completely change their minds and board Lu Ze's brand new ship. After comparison, You will find how courageous the old man Lu Feichi is.
Lu Ze and Lu Chengyan have not seen each other in recent days.
According to wedding customs, when a man and a woman meet before the wedding, they will be "happy", so both parties will choose to avoid meeting in the few days before the wedding. Lu Chengyan stayed with the old ancestor who had only a few days to live, and listened to the old man's words. Her final teachings.
"Yan'er."
"The husband you married is not an ordinary person. He is a powerful character who is invincible in games and knows the end of every move. He dares to come to Shu directly and smoothly to become a vassal. He is not worried at all about the empress in Tai'an City. She is no more courageous than me. If the ancestor is inferior, he probably has another plan in the palace."
The old man on the bed had a sunken face and an unspeakable weakness in his voice.
Lu Chengyan's eyes were red as she held the old man's skinny hand. Over the years, her ancestors had paid too much for the entire Lu family. The Lu family has now been six generations together, but everyone is without exception. They all live under the protection of the old man.
But when I traveled across mountains and rivers from Qingzhou to Sichuan, I don't know how many family members expressed their dissatisfaction openly or covertly. It was not until the news came that His Majesty the Emperor was crowned king that these voices gradually weakened. Now that they have arrived in this prosperous place in Sichuan, Everyone in the Lu family is no longer happy to think about Qingzhou. They feel that since they are married to the young King of Shu, they will undoubtedly be able to travel sideways in Shu in the future.
In front of the bed in the room, there is a man in his forties. He has an elegant appearance and is wearing the extremely gorgeous brocade official uniform of the Liyang Dynasty's fourth rank Wenque.
The middle-aged man's eyebrows are somewhat similar to Lu Chengyan's.
"Being well-behaved on all sides is the foundation for conducting one's life in the court, because only by doing this can one be able to gain a firm foothold in the court, which is as deep as water. Even Zhang Julu, the chief assistant who is now at the height of his power, came here this way." The old man raised his eyes and looked at the eldest grandson in front of the bed, and continued: "No one hates a well-rounded person, but no one is sincerely willing to become a close friend with such a person. Especially among this family. "Jian, Yan'er, no matter what you do in the future, you must put your husband first. Only in this way can our Lu family truly take root in Shu."
"Qingzhou is already a quagmire. If my ancestors and I were still young, I could slowly break out of it."
"But I don't have much time left, so I can only make dangerous moves this time. You must remember not to act like me in the future. Dongjiang, your father left early, and several uncles in the family failed to live up to expectations. Grandpa helped me They have not been able to help me up for most of my life. Not to mention my strength, it is very difficult not to hold me back. You always cherish your own feathers. If I die, you, the new head of the family, will have to control the children of the family. "
Lu Dongjiang nodded in agreement with a solemn expression.
Lu Feiqi's voice was weak, but with a faint smile on his face, he looked at his great-granddaughter with tears streaming down his face.
"The word "affection" is the key to being able to stand firm in the officialdom."
"Although our new uncle of the Lu family is young, he happens to be a person who values love. This time he is so
The wedding was held in a hurry, firstly so that the ancestors could witness the opening of the new chessboard in Shuzhong, and the other reason was to give the entire Lu family a reassurance... Well, maybe it was also because of us There are too many beautiful women around this young King of Shu. If he doesn't decide on a concubine early, there will probably be a fire in the backyard. "
At this point, the old man Lu Feiqi laughed out loud.
At this moment, Lu Chengyan was also crying and laughing, and the atmosphere in the room was finally no longer so sad.
After a long time, the heavy-footed future head of the Lu family, Lu Dongjiang, slowly exited the room. The ancestor of the Lu family sighed softly: "The arrogance of a scholar in your father's grain is difficult to erase. The good and bad of the Lu family's children are mixed. It is inevitable that they will be in the future." If trouble breaks out in Shu, from now on, Yan'er, you can indulge them and select a few unworthy Lu family members as discarded pieces on this brand new chessboard, and the king of Shu will naturally accept you in the future."
The old man on the bed did not die suddenly after saying his thoughtful words, as stated in many books.
At this time, he was still interested in guessing the trump card in Lu Ze's hand. Looking at his ancestor's questioning eyes, Lu Chengyan smiled and nodded: "Human Cat Han Diao Si personally hosted the wedding banquet, and naturally it was not just for this wedding. Hmm. ...He said that Cao Guanzi, who entered Tai'an City three times, will also come to Jinguan City to watch the ceremony in the future."
"Congratulations to Xinshu."
.......
Countless congratulatory gifts were sent towards the brand-new Shu Palace.
Different from the meager gift list given by the King of Shu to the vassal last time, this time all the families in Shu showed their sincerity, hoping that the young King of Shu could balance the situation here in the future. As the saying goes, the new There are three important things to do when taking office, not to mention the young vassal king who holds the power, but there are also many ambitious young people in Shu who hope to join the army of the King of Shu.
This is the biggest difference between Lu Ze and the princes who were entrusted this time.
Even the eldest prince Zhao Wu, who is in charge of the military at the border of Liyang and Liaozhou, only has the command of the army in name only. Lu Ze has the same power as Yanchi King Zhao Bing and Guangling King Zhao Yi and can form a pro-army. , in charge of feudal land taxes... and a series of other privileges that belong to the powerful feudal king.
That's why today's wedding banquet is destined to cause a sensation in all parts of Sichuan.
Today's protagonist, the groom Lu Ze, has put on the luxurious red robe in the back hall room. The clear antique bronze mirror reflects the supreme elegance of His Highness the King of Shu. The person who is waiting beside him can be seen. The little maid's cheeks were slightly red. Most of the people serving today were brought from the Tai'an City Palace. Master Han Diao Si could clearly recognize everyone.
Lu Ze smiled and waved to the people around him, and the room quickly became quiet.
The master who came to the room with cat-like steps handed Lu Ze today's gift list. The master who was on his way to the feudal lord had mentioned these two close-to-back happy events before. Lu Ze knew these two things with just a brief glance. The gift list adds up to a huge sum.
"The people of Shu are outstanding."
"Not only the wealthy families who survived the Spring and Autumn War, but also the Chun Tie Thatched Cottage located on Lingxiu Mountain, the various materials used for making swords, the heat of the furnace, and the forging masters who were eating gold. It’s an extremely exaggerated number. Swords are given to heroes, and red pink is given to beauties. The tight-knit hero in this pocket will definitely not be able to use the real sword."
Lu Ze closed the thick gift list, smiled and joked with the master next to him.
The real purpose of Han Diao Temple today is naturally not to focus on this wedding banquet. Outside is a dazzling array of congratulatory gifts and guests with high status. If the official Cao really comes to watch the ceremony, this uninvited guest will not care about his Qing Yi. How many distinguished guests from Liyang Dynasty will die next.
So even though Han Diao Si and Cao Changqing fought several times, the old eunuch today still seemed very focused.
The main reason is of course that now he is no longer in Tai'an City, where there are many masters. The young master has come to Shu to become a king and a vassal. This means that he will have to shoulder many things alone in the future to prove that he is no longer a vassal. The prince in the palace of Tai'an City is a young vassal king who can occupy one side and guard the territory for Li Yang.
Emperor Zhao Chun has not made up his mind about the candidates for the East Palace for a long time, so he wants to test his talents again.
My princes.
It's just that Lu Ze's situation is really special, and the problems he faces are undoubtedly more complicated.
"Master, the time has come."
"Let's get out."
Lu Ze smiled warmly.
The appearance of the real protagonist today made the pavilions and pavilions where most of the nobles of Jinguan City gathered became even more lively. Lu Ze, who had both sides, made all the old foxes sigh in their hearts. This young King of Shu is really not a simple character. In the future, I am afraid that many big things will happen in Shu. Kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. Who is the chicken? Who is the monkey?
The heroine Lu Chengyan also wore a brand new gilt red robe.
The daughter of the Lu family has shown her skills and charm in Jinguan City during this period. The young ladies who originally had sarcastic thoughts in their hearts quickly changed their minds. Lu Chengyan is not the kind of person who relies on the family's Yu Yincai. Became the royal concubine of the King of Shu.
As the auspicious moment arrived, the two began to salute.
And at this moment, there was a burst of uproar. Everyone looked up and saw noisy shouts on the central axis of Jinguan City, which is in the same line as the Prince of Shu's residence. Shu, who was visiting today The local snakes were horrified, not knowing who dared to cause trouble at today's banquet. This was not only a slap in the face of King Shu, but also a slap in the face of the entire Liyang royal family.
Lu Chengyan turned her head, Lu Ze held her hand tightly and said gently: "It's okay."
In just a split second, I saw a man in green clothes fluttering on the eaves of the inner city. The arrival of this uninvited guest caused a sensation in the entire Jinguan City. Cao Changqing came from the city gate with the force of breaking bamboo.
During today's wedding banquet at the palace, someone recognized the middle-aged scribe dressed as a Confucian scholar and exclaimed: "Cao Changqing!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Guanzi was already admitted to the hospital. The guests looked horrified and all retreated.
At the same time, a young woman with a sword was hovering in the air.
Everyone heard Cao Guanzi speak loudly: "Cao Changqing of Western Chu, accompanied by Princess Jiang Ni of Chu, came to Jinguan City to watch the wedding of the King of Shu!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
The guests with complicated thoughts all looked at the young King of Shu standing in the center. The Western Shu Dao Jingluo made Chen Yunian lower his eyebrows. Xu Yi, the leader of Chuntie Cottage, who was sitting very high up in the guest seats, frowned, and everyone At the focus of his gaze, Lu Ze was still quietly holding the hand of the newlywed princess, looking at the unexpected guest who suddenly came here with extremely calm eyes.
Lu Ze did not speak.
But an old eunuch stood up from nowhere, and he sneered: "Rebellious ministers and traitors should be punished."
Cao Changqing smiled calmly: "Han Diao Temple, you and I have fought against each other several times, but I know that a large part of your terrifying strength is due to the endless dragon energy in the Tai'an City Palace. Today, I, Cao Changqing, will pay homage to the princess. You... .Can’t stop me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged Confucian scholar's aura became stronger again.
Xu Yi was shocked and pale at this time, and the tall and beautiful lady Xie Xie, who was also dressed in gorgeous clothes next to the sect leader, could only notice that the atmosphere in the world had become extremely depressed, but she didn't know what happened, so the woman could only whisper. Asked: "Sect Master, what's wrong?"
Xu Yi sighed heavily: "Cao Guanzi has become a land immortal."
Confucian sage Cao Changqing!
At this time, even Han Shengxuan's face changed slightly. The old eunuch turned his head and glanced at Lu Ze. Although he had prepared to deal with Cao Guanzi early, his strength had changed qualitatively compared to before, and the plan still had to go ahead. , but it’s best to avoid the little master behind him.
Lu Ze finally spoke: "It's not polite for Mr. Cao to come to watch the ceremony without being invited by the host."
"Princess Xichu? If you are here to watch the ceremony on behalf of Xichu, I should return the favor. But if you are here for some other personal vendetta, it is better to make it clear directly, otherwise the late Emperor of Xichu will be under Jiuquan If I know about the subjugated queen, I’m afraid there will be no peace.”
Lu Ze looked at the subjugated princess who was teetering on the ancient sword, with an undisguised sarcasm on his lips.
For the old sword god Li Chungang, who is optimistic about this man with a clear sword intention,
Lu Ze did not take the woman surnamed Jiang seriously. Swordsmen practice their swordsmanship first by cultivating their mind. There were too many flaws in Jiang Ni’s state of mind. Not to mention the deceased Northern Liang Crown Prince Xu Fengnian. There is nothing like the old Western Chu anymore, and the life and death fight is the most dangerous place.
In the original novel in the snow, the Kingdom of Western Chu was restored. In the end, the princess of the lost country chose to leave everything behind and ran back to Beiliang.
The so-called restoration of the country seems more like a joke.
Everyone present was surprised by the calm reaction of the young King of Shu, and even more surprised that he dared to speak to the official Cao like this. It should be noted that he had entered Tai'an City three times, and even Emperor Liyang was polite to this Confucian scholar in blue.
Cao Changqing noticed something strange about the princess beside him, and the man in green looked at the young vassal king with a cold face.
Lu Ze's words just now clearly touched Cao Changqing's feelings: "You... deserve to die."
Lu Ze shook his head.
"No, it's you treacherous officials and traitors who deserve to die."
"Today... I invite Cao Guanzi to die."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
