Why is Zhang Xiu so surprised?
It was precisely because Kan Leng served under him, and also because the other party's strength should not be underestimated.
In Zhang Xiu's view, when it comes to martial arts in the Forbidden Army, the first among the top players is General Fan Zhenfan, and the second is not himself, but Kan Leng Kan Lengzi as Wang Xiongdan calls him. .
This person is proficient in martial arts, and has a good Mo Dao. If he fights against him, he will probably be defeated in less than thirty rounds. As for his attainments in the art of war, he is also slightly higher than himself.
If he hadn't been appointed by His Majesty, I might not have been able to take the position of commander of the Forbidden Army.
However, although Kan Leng was proficient in martial arts and warfare, he had an impatient temper and ignored his impulses. Therefore, he unintentionally insulted many of his colleagues in the Forbidden Army, and even earned the reputation of "Kan Lengzi".
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu couldn't help but look at Wang Xiongdan.
This brother Wang was able to be recommended by His Majesty, and at the same time be friends with Kan Lengzi. It seems that he really has real skills in his hands.
If His Majesty had these two people to help him, wouldn't it increase his chances of winning?
Not to mention Zhang Xiu's brainstorming at this moment, over here, after hearing Zhang Xiu's words, Wang Xiongdan smiled bitterly and nodded.
When he was in the village, Kan Leng had a bad temper. Who knew that after so many years of training in the army and even joining the Forbidden Army, he still could not change his bad temper.
Thinking of the way Kan Leng poured out his bitterness to him after the two got together again, Wang Xiongdan smiled bitterly.
"Since Kan Leng is Brother Wang's friend, he is Zhang's brother."
Zhang Xiu patted his chest loudly and promised:
"After these few days have passed, I will recommend Brother Kan to your Majesty. However, Brother Wang, you are not my subordinate, so you need to spend more time. I really feel sorry for you."
At this time, Zhang Xiu had another thought in his mind.
That is, Mr. Wang is now not allowed to contact His Majesty because of his treacherous relationship with the other party. Now, this brother Wang is Mr. Wang’s distant cousin and serves under General Fan. At the same time, he is a good friend of Kan Leng...
Through him, Sir and Your Majesty can communicate secretly, even if it is a little troublesome.
Looking at Wang Xiongdan who expressed his gratitude to him again, Zhang Xiu thought to himself.
However, this matter cannot be told to the other party now.
At least, I have to wait until I recommend Kan Leng to His Majesty, and then His Majesty will judge him.
He is a minister and should abide by the way of being a minister. He can only make suggestions but cannot make decisions.
By the time the two of them finished talking, the sky was already slightly bright.
"Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming."
In the Zihuan Palace, looking at Zhao Yu who was still sleeping soundly on the dragon couch, Gao Lishi called out in a low voice.
Zhao Yu opened his still hazy eyes and asked slightly confused:
"Rikishi, what time is it now?"
For most of last night, he worked overtime to familiarize himself with the wedding process, so he didn't get a full night's sleep. Unexpectedly, he didn't fall asleep for a long time when he heard Gao Lishi making noises in his ears again.
"Your Majesty, it's past Chen hour, and it will be Si hour after half a stick of incense."
Looking at His Majesty who was a little angry about getting out of bed, Gao Lishi said hurriedly.
When he heard the hour reported from Gao Lishi, Zhao Yu felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly got up from the dragon bed.
"If the strong man hadn't called me, I would have almost missed the time."
If I really missed the right time because of my snooze, I would lose not only my face, but also Da Chu’s face!
"Quick, come in and change His Majesty's clothes!"
Seeing Zhao Yu get up, Gao Lishi hurriedly shouted outside the hall.
"yes."
Several charming female voices came from outside the palace, and then several palace maids, led by an old nun, entered the Zihuan Palace, and methodically put Zhao Yu into a bright red auspicious dress, and put on the emperor's crown dress outside. .
After changing into his auspicious clothes, Zhao Yu, accompanied by Gao Lishi and escorted by a group of imperial guards, headed towards Tai Chi Hall first.
In the Taiji Hall, Zhao Yu first accepted the congratulations from the civil and military officials, and then followed the usual practice and appointed two envoys as the chief and deputy welcoming envoys to be responsible for the wedding ceremony.
The chief and deputy wedding envoys are basically the Minister of Rites and the imperial censor of the Supervisory Yuan.
After accepting the appointment, Cao Huan, the Minister of Rites, and Chu Ziwen, the imperial censor, kowtowed to Zhao Yu four times, took over the preparation and festival cases, and walked out from the middle door of the hall with the emperor's edict. Two teams of guards carried the emperor's betrothal gift. , and the ceremony and music followed closely.
After leaving Yingtianmen, the two of them put the preparation and festival papers into the phoenix chariot that Huang Zixin was going to ride in, then took off their court clothes and rode on horseback.
Shortly after the two set off, Zhao Yu, who had received the congratulations from the minister, also took off his imperial robes, wore only his auspicious clothes, and left the palace in a dragon chariot.
Outside the palace, the emperor's ceremonial guards, Zhang Xiu and Fan Zhen, who had been waiting for a long time, each led a thousand imperial guards, as well as the phoenix chariot used to welcome the bride, joined Zhao Yu and his entourage who were changing horses, and headed towards the palace of Prince Taihe. go.
After leaving the palace city, along the way, I saw the roar of gongs and drums, and the mighty power.
Both sides of the street were already filled with people from Shenjing who came to watch the excitement.
These Shenjing people live in the most benevolent place and are well-informed. Ordinary things will not arouse such strong interest in them.
It's not like they haven't seen the emperor's wedding before. Every emperor has to attend such a wedding after taking office. However, it is unusual for the emperor to go to welcome the bride in person.
However, just to watch the excitement, when Zhao Yu passed by a place, these people would kneel on the ground and say "Long live" to show their respect for the imperial power.
Cao Huan and Chu Ziwen, the two chief and deputy wedding envoys, set off before Zhao Yu, and their journey was about half a stick of incense faster than Zhao Yu.
Soon, the two of them arrived in front of Prince Taihe's Mansion.
"Your Majesty is also fooling around. How can you, as the emperor, go to welcome the bride in person?"
Looking at the newly decorated palace with the middle door open, Cao Huan turned to Chu Ziwen beside him and said.
"Brother Cao, please be careful. Your Majesty's move may have a profound meaning. As ministers, we cannot presume to speculate on the holy intention."
Chu Ziwen said lightly.
At the same time, in the palace, Huang Wenbo, who had been on leave for the past few days, also received reports from his servants. He knew that the bride-to-be had arrived and hurriedly went out to greet her.
Cao Chu and Huang Wenbo were not in the same group, so they just asked the people in the palace to kneel to the ground, and then read out the imperial edict that Zhao Yu accepted Huang Zixin as the imperial concubine.
After the decree was read out, the two of them stood aside, chatting with Huang Wenbo, waiting for the arrival of the rightful master.
As the main leader, Zhao Yu did not keep everyone waiting for too long.
At the end of the street, the first thing that appeared was the emperor's guard of honor and the palace guards, followed by Zhao Yu who was riding a horse and wearing an auspicious uniform, and the hat next to Zhao Yu, which was carried steadily by eight guards and was carved with a fire phoenix spreading its wings. Big red sedan chair.
The fire phoenix sedan, eight people carrying the sedan - this is the treatment only the Queen of Chu has.
If it weren't for the queen, the carvings on this palanquin wouldn't be fire phoenixes, but green luan, golden pheasant and the like.
When the people onlookers saw this scene, they all felt emotional. The emperor not only welcomed the concubine in person, but also used the queen's ceremonial guard.
"Tsk, tsk, this King Taihe is really good at it..."
Among the crowd, many knowledgeable people had this idea in mind.
