It's nearly noon.
The warm sun is becoming more and more pleasant.
Wisps of golden rays of light fall from the sky.
Floating freely and freely in the sky above Prince Yan's Mansion.
It simply adds a touch of softness to the majestic and majestic Prince Yan's mansion.
In front of Wangfu Yumen.
Resonant chants came from the mouths of one of the burly palace guards wearing half armor.
It circled the huge Yumen three times before dissipating between heaven and earth.
"The Governor Sun of Shanggu County congratulates His Royal Highness Prince Yan on his wedding."
"Specially presented are a pair of gold vases with cloud and phoenix patterns, a pair of topaz cloud-shaped lamps, six pieces of silk, six pieces of silk..."
"The Governor of Pang County of Yuyang County congratulates His Royal Highness King Yan on his wedding."
"Specially presented are two large food horses, a pair of white jade double-chiloid cups, a pair of jasper chilong-pattern belt buckles, and a pair of blue and white mandarin duck playing water bottles."
"The Yuyang Qu Family congratulates His Royal Highness King Yan on his wedding."
"Specially presented are a pair of painted pottery horses, a pair of green and white jade phoenix-shaped beam vases, and a pair of mutton-fat jade crested flower ornaments..."
"Shanggu Fan's family congratulates His Royal Highness Prince Yan on his wedding."
"Specially presented are a sapphire banquet illustration, a white jade pendant for children's poems, and six pieces each of silk and satin..."
"..."
"..."
Yang Xian'an and Lu Wensu, dressed in the official robes of Prince Yan's Palace, were lined up on the left and right sides of the Yumen Gate Tower.
Whenever the royal guards sing a song.
The two of them quickly walked out from both sides of Yumen.
After some pleasantries, the guests were invited to the Yumen Gate Tower.
Cross this gatehouse.
It is the real main entrance of the palace - Duanli Gate.
This gate is also an important ceremonial place in the palace.
...
...
In the study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall of Prince Yan's Mansion.
Yan Wangyi, dressed in a bright red wedding dress, sat on the imperial chair in the study with a slight frown on his face.
The leader of Wenxin, dressed in servant clothes, stood two steps away from the desk with full respect.
He reported in a low voice.
After a while.
Xu Yi frowned slightly and slowly said, "When these two people approach the palace, notify me as soon as possible."
"Follow the order." The leader of Wenxin responded with his hands in hand.
Then he slowly retreated to the side hall study.
After the figure of leader Wen Xin completely disappeared from the side hall study.
Xu Yi's slightly frowned brows instantly tightened.
"Xu Xilin, Xu Jingqi, those who came here are not good."
Xu Yi frowned and murmured in a low voice, then slowly stood up.
Go straight to the study window sill.
Furukawa's eyes looked deeply at the Duanlimen without any ripples.
That Xu Xilin was no one else, he was the eldest son of King Xu Yan of Liao.
And Xu Jingqi is the eldest son of the acting king Xu Qi.
One of these two people is the crown prince of Liao, and the other is the crown prince of Dai.
The two people who could never have traveled the same road came together this time.
This move had to make Xu Yi think more.
I do not know how long it has been.
Standing in the study room of Chengyun Hall, Xu Yi gently closed the half-open window sill.
Then he slowly turned around and walked towards the Taishi chair.
He slowly sat down on the Taishi's chair.
An extremely low and familiar sound of footsteps came from outside the closed study room of the side hall of Chengyun Hall.
"Enter."
Don't wait for the leader to knock on the door.
Xu Yi, who was sitting on the Taishi's chair, slowly spoke.
"yes."
Leader Qin Xin responded, then gently pushed open the closed study door.
"I ask my heart to pay homage to the master."
Leader Wenxin closed the door gently, then slowly stepped forward and bowed his hands in a salute.
"The two of them have
to? "
Xu Yi slowly raised his head to look at the leader Wenxin who was bowing his hands, and then asked softly.
"Return to the master."
"The prince has arrived outside the moat."
"I haven't seen the Crown Prince of Liao."
Leader Qin Xin still maintained his gesture of saluting with his hands raised, and slowly opened his mouth to answer.
"Xu Jingqi has arrived, but Xu Xilin is nowhere to be seen?"
Xu Yi frowned slightly when he heard this and murmured to himself.
In the previous report from the leader of Wenxin.
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi obviously rode in the same carriage and entered Juyang from the west gate of Juyang City.
After entering the city, the two of them headed straight east towards Juyang City.
But now why is only Xu Jing praying to enter the palace?
Then where did the Prince of Liao go?
Xu Yi counted his breaths in deep thought with an expressionless face.
Then a guess gradually emerged in his mind.
"There is no need to pay any more attention to these two people."
Xu Yi came back from his deep thoughts and waved his hands slightly.
"Follow the order."
The leader of Wenxin was slightly startled, and then he bowed his hands again.
Wait until the figure of leader Wen Xin disappears from the side hall study again.
Xu Yi stood up slowly and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile.
"Protest? Knock on the mountain to shock the tiger? Pretend to be mysterious?"
"You are too young to play with these things."
Xu Yi said sarcastically in his heart.
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi first entered from the west gate of Juyang City in an upright manner.
They parted ways midway, leaving Xu Jingqi to enter the house alone.
This move seems to be weird at every turn.
But if you think about it carefully, you can see their intentions.
The caravan under the command of King Xu Qi was destroyed by Song Yuanfu and Xu Qiancheng.
Xu Qi will definitely send his confidants to Liao to investigate the truth.
But with Song Yuanfu's sophistication and Xu Qiancheng's boldness and carefulness.
The two of them will definitely not leave any clues that can lead to Xu Yi in this matter.
After some fruitless investigations, Xu Qi was bound to find Xu Yan, King of Liao.
And when he approached Xu Yan, King of Liao.
Xu Yan was probably angry about Song's business.
Notice.
Xu Yi unabashedly delivered a steady stream of high-quality and low-priced briquettes, coal stoves and other heating items to Liaodi.
It touches not only the interests of the aristocratic families in Liao.
There are also the interests of Liao King Xu Yan.
If Xu Yi is Xu Yan, king of Liao.
They will inevitably use various means to hoard large amounts of firewood, charcoal and other heating materials in the early stages of the snow disaster.
When the snowstorm in Liaodong becomes more severe.
He then took out part of the stored firewood, charcoal and other heating materials and handed them over to "Aristocratic Family" and "Business House" to sell them at a high price.
After taking most of the wealth in Liao land into his arms.
Until then.
The public dissatisfaction in Liaodong is bound to be overwhelming.
Until then.
Between officials and people, between aristocratic families and people.
A huge "conflict" may break out at any time.
Wait for the conflict to come together.
It was when Xu Yan, the king of Liao, wielded the "butcher's knife" to harvest the reputation of Liaodong.
in short.
Kill some so-called "noble families" and "commercial firms" to quell public dissatisfaction.
Then in the name of "ransacking the house", a large amount of firewood, charcoal and other heating materials were secretly taken out.
In turn, he gained a lot of love and reputation from the people of Liaodong.
So as to be fully prepared for the turbulent situation that is very likely to occur.
As a result, the people of Liaodong and even Liaodong gained a lot of money.
Secondly, he gained a lot of love and great reputation from the people of Liaodong and even the Liao region.
And what it requires
, nothing more than some dispensable abandoned children.
To a certain extent, although this plan is completely bad, it is truly a plan that kills two birds with one stone.
But it's a pity.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation.
He may have calculated that other forces would come to Liao to get a share of the pie.
He may have already prepared for others to take a small piece of the pie.
But what he never expected was.
Xu Yi not only wanted a piece of the pie this time, he even wanted to take the pot away.
And that's not all.
Before leaving, he even kicked over the dining table.
Not only did he fail to gain the slightest benefit.
Instead, it caused a lot of trouble.
Let me ask you, under this situation, when the confidants sent by the contemporary king Xu Qi came to the door.
What would Liao King Xu Yan do?
no doubt.
No matter whether Mr. Pan and others were killed by Xu Yi or whether the goods were robbed by Xu Yi.
According to Liao Wang Xu Yan, this matter must be what Xu Yi said.
But Xu Qi, the king of that generation, was not a fool either.
How can you believe it easily?
Therefore.
In Xu Yi's opinion.
Xu Jingqi and Xu Xilin, the two princes and sons, first united and then separated.
The purpose behind it can basically be judged as "fraud."
The first combination is used to warn Xu Yi that his interception and killing of Master Pan has been revealed, which further disturbs his mind.
Later, the intention was to tell Xu Yi that the two kings of Liao and Dai were not willing to make a big deal out of the matter because they were both members of the royal family.
If Xu Yi's guess is correct.
After today, Xu Jingqi and Xu Xilin will definitely pay a joint visit to Xu Yi.
Carry out the act of "discussing" secretly.
Thinking about this.
Xu Yi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a sarcastic smile again.
...
...
It was nearly dusk.
The falling clouds and the solitary owl fly together.
In front of Duanli Gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.
"The auspicious time has arrived! Your Majesty, King Yan, please raise the chariot!"
Yang Xian'an, who acted as the ceremony official, stood in front of the Duanli Gate and spoke loudly to the dignitaries who were watching the ceremony.
"Bang~"
"Bang~bang~"
"Bang~bang~bang~"
The words trailed off.
Huge firecrackers sounded instantly in front of Duanli Gate.
After the smoke from the firecrackers gradually dissipated.
Xu Yi, who was dressed in a bright red wedding robe, slowly walked out of the Duanli Gate surrounded by several young officials of the Yan Palace and several royal princes.
Board the chariot full of joy.
After Xu Yi walked into the carriage.
Yang Xian'an spoke loudly again: "In the lead of the ceremonial guard, the king ascends the chariot, and the man holding the goose follows behind, performing the ceremony and playing music!"
The words are over.
The guard of honor opened the way in front, followed closely by the chariot, and the courtesy persons holding wild geese followed slowly behind the chariot.
After that, eight large sedan chairs, the prince of the royal family, the officials of Prince Yan's Palace, the female officials of Prince Yan's Palace, and the guards of Prince Yan's Palace followed slowly one by one.
After the entire wedding team slowly crossed the city guard.
Its head and tail are at least three or four miles apart.
It can be seen how grand the scale of the wedding team is.
The wedding team went out of the moat.
I saw that the streets and alleys outside the moat were already crowded with people with their families and families.
Regardless of whether it is an old man who has passed the age of sixty years or a young child who is in the age of the sheep's horn.
On top of their heads, they all wear a red flower.
And every petal of the red flower has words of blessing written on it.
Take a quick look.
The streets and alleys in front of Prince Yan's Mansion seemed to be filled with red flowers.
this one
carve.
It seemed like the entire Juyang City was congratulating Xu Yi.
Behind the carriage.
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi, wearing red wedding belts around their waists, saw this scene.
They couldn't help but look at each other silently.
The moment the two looked at each other.
Both of them saw the horror in each other's eyes.
What a reputation this must be.
How can he be loved by so many people?
What a reputation this must be.
How can such a trend be formed?
Xu Xilin and Xu Jingqi couldn't help but think in horror.
On top of the chariot.
Xu Yi gently opened the car curtain and looked at the people on both sides of the street with red flowers on their heads with a smile.
For an ambitious vassal king.
Perhaps this is the best gift in the world.
Xu Yi calmed down, and then gently waved his hand towards Lu Wensu, who was always following the side of the carriage.
"My lord."
Seeing this, Lu Wensu hurriedly drove his horse closer to the car window.
"Celebrate with the people."
Xu Yi whispered with a smile on his lips.
"yes."
Lu Wensu grinned when he heard this, then raised his hands and responded.
The words are over.
Xu Yi gently put down the car curtain in his hand and returned to the sitting position again.
at the same time.
Lu Wensu quickly drove his horse away from the chariot.
After a while.
A well-known soldier is a burly soldier holding a big red cloth bag with golden happy characters embroidered on it.
Continuously throwing candies and cakes that have been prepared for a long time in big red cloth pockets towards the people on both sides of the road.
Bags of candies and cakes were thrown out.
The cheerful atmosphere in Juyang City instantly rose to several levels.
The royal musicians played cheerful tunes with great color.
The wedding procession moved forward slowly amid bursts of joy and laughter.
Finally, it slowly stopped in the south of Juyang City and in front of the main entrance of the Zhu family's ancestral home.
"The bride is here! Please come out of the chariot and let the king greet you."
The ceremonial officer Yang Xian'an walked slowly to the chariot, bowed his hands and bowed.
The words are over.
Xu Yi gently opened the car curtain and got out of the car.
As soon as he got out of the carriage.
The people of the Zhu family who had been waiting in front of the main entrance of the Zhu family's ancestral home for a long time came forward one after another upon seeing this.
"We respectfully welcome His Highness King Yan."
All the Zhu family members bowed their hands and saluted.
"No gift."
Xu Yi straightened his clothes and then bowed his hands slightly in return.
After the two sides greeted each other.
An elder of the Zhu family quickly walked out of the main entrance of the Zhu family to greet the king.
After an equally cumbersome and complicated etiquette.
The wedding team finally arrived slowly outside the Zhujia Dexing Hall.
"The king is here to greet you!" Yang Xian'an said loudly, facing the Dexing Hall.
Xu Yi straightened his clothes again after hearing this.
Then he slowly saluted Zhu Guangli and Mrs. Meng who were sitting in Dexing Hall.
"My dear son-in-law, please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
After bowing, Zhu Guangli and Mrs. Meng hurriedly stood up and walked out of the Dexing Hall support path.
"The ceremony is over."
Yang Xian'an, who had always stood aside, said loudly when he saw this.
The words are over.
Xu Yi slowly walked into Dexing Hall under the guidance of Zhu Guangli and Mrs. Meng.
The person holding the goose behind him took the goose inside and placed it on the desk in the middle hall.
"The King bows four times." Yang Xian'an said loudly, standing on the side of the central hall.
Upon hearing this, Xu Yi took half a step forward and bowed four times to Zhu Guangli, Mrs. Meng, Zhu Huaimin and the wild goose in the middle.
"After the ceremony, let the concubine leave the room." Yang Xian'an said loudly again.
As soon as he finished speaking, eight personal maids led Zhu Wanning, who was wearing a bright red dress and a red silk hijab, out of the house slowly.
"The king and the concubine, together perform the four bows." The Minister of Rites said loudly.
After finishing speaking, Xu Yi and Zhu Wanning took half a step forward and saluted slowly.
"The ceremony is completed, let's play music." After four bows, Yang Xian'an said loudly again.
The royal musicians immediately played joyful music.
Amidst bursts of festive musical instruments.
Xu Yi and Zhu Wanning walked out of the Zhu family's ancestral house side by side, holding a piece of red silk.
"Lebi." Yang Xian'an said loudly.
When the sound of the musical instruments stopped, Yang Xian'an continued: "The king is invited to ascend the chariot, and the concubine is invited to ascend the sedan chair."
When Xu Yi walked into the carriage, Zhu Wanning walked into the back of the eight-carriage phoenix sedan.
Yang Xian'an said loudly again: "After the ceremony, let's play music."
Bursts of joy resounded through the streets again, and the chariot and sedan chair slowly walked toward the east of Juyang City amid the sound of joy.
Because Zhu Wanning is the concubine of King Yan.
Therefore, both the etiquette and specifications are lower than Wang Qiujin's.
However, the amount of her dowry was far more than Wang Qiujin's dozens of dollars.
