Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    May 15th, the twenty-eighth year of Zhenguan, was the auspicious day chosen by the Qin Tian Jian. The ceremonies such as accepting the invitation, asking for names, and accepting the honor had already been held. Today, the most important personal welcome was to be carried out.  Speaking of which, the steps of a royal wedding are actually similar to those of ordinary people, with only some details changing.

    Like all people who get married, Shangguan Tingzhi was pulled out of bed before dawn, and then a special person put on makeup for him. Moreover, the groom and the bride had to wear heavy makeup on this day.  True to his original appearance, Li Min was tortured like this once when he and Wen Xin got married.

    After Shangguan Tingzhi put on make-up and new clothes, he immediately went out to the palace to welcome his bride. In order to celebrate Si Zi's wedding, Li Shimin even ordered a nationwide holiday. So on that day, almost all the people in Chang'an City rushed to the streets to get a glimpse.  The wedding of the most beloved Princess Jinyang.

    However, so many people flooding into the streets will naturally cause road congestion. Fortunately, Li Zhi had already guessed this situation, so he sent a group of soldiers into the city and lined up in two lines on both sides of the road to welcome the bride.  The team arrived at the imperial city smoothly.

    In the square in front of the imperial city, in order to celebrate the wedding of Si Zi, Li Min, Li Zhi and others summoned many famous singing, dancing, acrobatic and other performance groups, especially Hu people who were good at singing and dancing. They set up a stage in the square.  The performance is open to the people of Chang'an to watch, and the viewers can also vote for the performing group. In the end, whichever group gets the most votes will receive a sky-high price of 50,000 yuan in addition to the compensation they deserve.  Therefore, the invited performers worked extremely hard, and bursts of cheers erupted from time to time in the square.

    Shangguan Tingzhi¡¯s welcoming team crossed the square and entered the imperial city.  If it is placed in an ordinary home, it needs to be outside the courtyard where the bride lives.  Then he welcomes the bride into the carriage, but now he is marrying the princess.  So the rules naturally changed.

    First of all, Shangguan Ting had to go to the Taiji Hall. At this time, Li Shimin and Empress Changsun were sitting in the main hall. The princes, princesses and civil and military officials were lined up on both sides. After Shangguan Ting came in, the eunuch read out the edict of marriage.  It was nothing more than praising Shangguan Tingzhi, then boasting about his own daughter, and finally announcing that the princess would be given to Shangguan Tingzhi as his wife, etc.

    The reason for this program is mainly to highlight the unique identity of the princess.  If the consort wants to marry the princess, he must lower his profile and accept the reward from His Majesty the Emperor.  Of course, there are many practical contents in this imperial edict, such as the palace, land, property, etc. given to the princess as dowry.  As Li Shimin's favorite daughter, Sizi's dowry was extremely generous, even exceeding the specifications of any princess in history.

    And this is not only the dowry given by Li Shimin, but also the congratulatory gifts given by brothers such as Li Chengqian and Li Ke, among which Li Min gave the most generous gift.  He gave some of his best houses and manors in Datang and Daqi to Sizi. In addition, he also built a Jinyang Princess steam cruise ship specially for Sizi, which is now parked in the Bohai Bay.

    Now that the connection between Datang and Daqi is so close, offshore navigation is also very safe.  After Sizi gets married, she will no longer be bound by the palace and will have a lot of free time. Then she can go to sea with one of the Shangguan Ting.  Go visit Li Min or Tianzhu. After all, she is not only the princess of the Tang Dynasty.  She is also the eldest princess of the three kingdoms of Daqi, Tianzhu and Dawu.

    It is worth mentioning that Li Chengqian, Li Tai, Li You and others were all recalled to Chang'an.  Firstly, it was to attend Sizi's wedding, and secondly, they were princes after all. Before leaving, Li Shimin also wanted to get together with these sons again.

    Li Chengqian and Li Tai should not have returned to Chang'an at this time due to their sensitive status. After all, they were both more qualified to ascend the throne than Li Zhi at the beginning. Even if they are demoted now, there are still many original officials in the court.  The princeling party and the Wei royal party.  However, now that Li Min, Li Ke and several others are in charge in Chang'an, Li Zhi's position as the crown prince is so secure that no one can think of it. That's why Li Shimin is so relieved to recall all his sons to Chang'an.

    What makes Li Shimin feel a little sad is that Li Tai's health has become very bad now. This is mainly because he is too obese. He fell ill once on the way to Chang'an and finally arrived a few days ago.  , but when Li Shimin saw him, he clearly felt that Li Tai was much older. Not only did he have a lot more white hair on his head, but he also had a few wrinkles on his face. A man in his thirties actually looked like  He looks like a man in his fifties.

    Comparatively speaking, Li Chengqian and Li You are both in good spirits.  Although Li Chengqian has not restored the throne, he now guards Shanghai instead of Li Ke and is the second governor of Shanghai. Moreover, he personally participated in the construction of Shanghai, so he has a deep understanding and affection for Shanghai. Now  Under his governance, Shanghai became the coastal development center of the Tang Dynasty.The fastest port, it is one of the three major ports of the Tang Dynasty, along with Guangzhou in the south and Dengzhou in the north.

    It is precisely because there is something to do and the development of Shanghai that gives Li Chengqian a sense of accomplishment. In addition, after Li Min's persuasion, he has completely trusted the throne, so he has become more active and energetic in these years. It seems that  He was several years younger than Li Tai, which made Li Shimin feel a little relieved for his eldest son while lamenting Li Tai's aging.

    Li You is still serving as the nominal governor of North Korea and China in Daqi. He does nothing every day. When he is in a good mood, he will take his wife and children out to play. Li Min does not restrict his freedom, so Li You almost  Traveled all over Daqi.  Perhaps it was this leisurely life that made Li You gain weight, and his waistline was twice as thick. He was not as good as Li Tai for the time being, but he was on par with Li Yun.

    After the imperial edict conferring marriage was read out, Shangguan Ting came forward to accept the edict and thank him. Then, under the leadership of Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Li Min and others swarmed up and took Shangguan Ting to the palace where Sizi lived. However, along the way,  Shangguan Tingzhi is in bad luck!

    "Boy, you are very lucky to be able to marry our little Sizi, but the ugly thing is ahead. If you dare to bully her after marriage, then don't blame me, my eighth brother, for being evil!" Although Li Zhen  Wearing gorgeous royal clothes, but speaking with murderous intent, it was as if he was giving an ultimatum to his enemies.

    Regarding the fact that Si Zi was getting married, Li Zhen and his brothers had similar feelings to Li Shimin. They were both happy and a little sad. It felt like they were giving away the treasures they had collected at home to others. Naturally, he felt very unhappy.  , so he was ready to beat Shangguan Ting to prevent Si Zi from being wronged after passing through.

    Looking at the murderous Emperor of Tianzhu in front of him, and then thinking about the newspaper reports about Li Zhen being murderous, Shangguan Tingzhi was just an ordinary scholar, how could he bear the murderous aura in Li Zhen?  So for a moment he felt chilly all over his body.  Finally, he finally suppressed the fear in his heart and said: "Yue His Royal Highness, King Yue, rest assured that Tingzhi will never let Mingda suffer any injustice!"

    Seeing that Shangguan Tingzhi's attitude was quite good, Li Zhengang wanted to say something more, but was pushed away by Li Yun. Then he saw His Royal Highness Prince Jiang facing Shangguan Tingzhi with a kind face: "Tingzhi,  We will be a family from now on. Your Bage is just a rough guy. You don¡¯t need to take his words to heart. And I also believe in Sizi¡¯s vision. The person she chooses will definitely not bully her in the future. Besides, I don¡¯t think you need to do it anymore.  What are you doing, Mr. Newspaper Company? I am in urgent need of manpower. Why don't you bring Sizi to our Tianzhu after your wedding? I don't have any other abilities to be the seventh brother, but I still have no problem arranging a governor for you.  of!"

    As soon as Li Yun finished speaking, Li Zhi next to him came over unhappily and said, "Brother Qi, this is wrong. I am also the elder brother of Si Zi and Ting Zhi. Could I still treat them badly after marriage?"  ? Besides, the weather in your Tianzhu is so hot, Sizi will definitely get tanned when he gets there. In addition, I heard that the natives in Tianzhu are extremely dirty, and the city is full of stench, so I suggest that Brother Qi, you should go to Tianzhu first.  After the health situation is resolved, we can dig out the courtyard again!¡±

    "Haha, what Ninth Brother said is right. Seventh Brother, your place is really not suitable for Sizi and Tingqian to go there, but it is different over there. The scenery and climate on the Mediterranean side are quite pleasant, especially suitable for living, and it is rich in produce.  Sizi likes the caviar very much, and yesterday he was clamoring to go to Rome and other places to have a look, so I think it¡¯s best for you and Sizi to go to my place!" At this time, Li Ke also laughed and said, but actually he was not  I really wanted to compete with my two younger brothers, but I just saw how lively they were chatting, so I stepped in and watched the joke.

    Shangguan Tingzhi faced these brothers-in-law in front of him, especially because all of them had extraordinary status, which put him under great pressure, so he didn't know how to answer the other party's words. He could only giggle and sweat nervously, his face  The thick powder I applied was washed away by sweat, and my face suddenly turned into a painted face.

    Seeing Shangguan Tingzhi's embarrassed look, Li Chengqian, his elder brother, finally couldn't help but smile and said: "Tingzhi, don't listen to their nonsense. After you get married to Sizi, how should you live? Even  If you really like your job at the newspaper, then you can stay at the newspaper, but with your current status, I'm afraid you will be affected in some ways, so you have to be mentally prepared for this!"

    Although Li Chengqian is no longer the prince, he is the eldest son after all, so his words are still very authoritative. Even Shangguan Tingzhi felt relieved after hearing this.

    Next, Li Tai, Li You and others also said a few words, and there were also three younger guys, Li Shen, Li Fu and Li Ming, but they were more pestering Li Ke, Li Zhen and others.  , begging them to take them out to sea for fun.

    At the end of the day, only Li Min was left without speaking, which made Li ChengqianEveryone is very surprised. After all, emotionally speaking, Li Min has the deepest relationship with Si Zi. Now that Si Zi is getting married, he should be the happiest and saddest one in his heart, but why has he remained silent until now?  ?  So for a while everyone focused their attention on Li Min.  (To be continued)
