    The news that Ye Chang was getting married had already reached Chang'an City before Ye Chang left Xingqing Palace. When he returned to his residence, he found that everyone was looking at him with a strange look.  He couldn't understand it at first, but he finally understood it when someone came up to say congratulations.  "This Chang'an City is really a leaky house." Ye Chang couldn't help but sigh.  But it was also a sentence. Immediately afterwards, he became busy. There were many letters to write and many things to arrange. On the surface, he seemed calm, but he knew that the waves in Chang'an city were raging.  Yang Zhao, who originally seemed aggressive, had to serve as Jiedushi because of changes in Jiannan.  Li Longji's timing and the accuracy of this matter made people get to know this powerful and treacherous man again.  He would rather let Ye Chang, his prospective son-in-law, follow him abroad, but he must drive Yang Zhao out of Chang'an, which shows his determination and ruthlessness.  This will inevitably set off a new political storm. Yang Zhao and those who follow Yang Zhao will be liquidated. Although Li Longji will provide them with certain protection, if Yang Zhao cannot return to Chang'an City after a while,  , the Holy Family must decline, and then Li Linfu's final counterattack will come.  Of course, these waves were obscured by the excitement of Ye Chang's wedding.  The emperor gave him a house, which was located south of Li Linfu's house, across a street. He gave servants Ruoyu and all kinds of property to Ruoyu. Almost every day, messengers from the palace came to bring Li Longji's "rewards."  "Awarded to Ye Chang.  In addition, there are extremely complicated pre-wedding etiquette. The day after Ye Chang returned home, a smiling official from the Ministry of Etiquette came to help Ye Chang complete these etiquettes.  The first step is to accept the color, which is to cut it. Li Longji directly took out silk cloth and other materials from the treasury and sent them to Li Linfu's house as a dowry for Ye Chang. He also invited a princess's wife with both children to serve as Li Linfu's house.  Tengkong tailors his clothes, this is the so-called "giving away life".  Then came the question of name, acceptance of gifts, acceptance of levy, and request for date. These were just rituals and formalities. However, when the levy was accepted, there was another sensation in Chang'an. A total of 108 betrothal gifts were piled up like a mountain, and Li Linfu was  The street in front of the house was crowded with people. When the box was opened, the jewels and lights inside made all the onlookers gasp.  According to the rules, no matter how much the man brings as betrothal gift, the woman should also give a corresponding amount of property as a dowry.  Therefore, as soon as the abundant betrothal gifts were released in the street, everyone was worried about Li Linfu: he was as rich as the country, but it was like this. It is said that after Li Linfu saw these betrothal gifts, he was stunned for a long time, and then said with a wry smile: "Decades  The eunuch's bag is empty today." Li Longji, who was in the palace, laughed loudly when he heard the news, and then said excitedly: "An sent my prime minister to marry a daughter without shame, so he opened the inner treasury and picked out one hundred and eight.  General Gao, you will carry the treasures to the Prime Minister's Mansion personally." Gao Lishi also joined in the fun: "I have accumulated some wealth over the years. In this case, I don't dare to compare with the saint, so I have to collect eighteen loads." This news is legendary  , Yang Yuhuan in the palace also asked people to send thirty-six loads of silk jewelry and the like. Even Prince Li Heng also pinched his nose and reluctantly sent some gifts.  So the dowry exposed in Li Linfu's house became more abundant. When Ye Chang heard the news, without saying a word, he ordered another 108 loads of treasures to be made up. This time, there were glassware, ironware, lacquerware, and leather goods.  , old medicine, etc., although not as jewel-like as the last time, they are still valuable.  After learning about this, even Li Longji was stunned. According to the gossip, Li Longji was stunned for a long time, and then coughed twice: "You are still angry, let's stop, don't compete with the God of Wealth for wealth.  " Suddenly, the rumor that Ye Changfu was more powerful than Wang Yuanbao spread throughout Chang'an.  It is not without reason that Ye Changlu is rich. He needs greater financial support from the powerful people in Chang'an. Although he has made a lot of money for these powerful people over the years, strictly speaking, the dividends paid every year may not necessarily expand every year.  Stocks attract more money.  Now that he is going to the southwest, it means that he may not be able to directly control the affairs of the Andong Chamber of Commerce for the time being. In order to prevent these powerful people from getting uneasy and withdrawing their funds, he revealed his wealth to show his strength and calm their minds.  Of course, it is also a deterrent. Now many people have read The Wealth of Nations and accept Ye Chang's view that "wealth is power", and have no doubt about Ye Chang's ability to transform wealth into real power.  On April 18th, which is said to be an auspicious day for marriage, Ye Chang's house started to be very lively early in the morning, and the streets were full of people watching the excitement.  In order to prepare for this wedding, his mansion has been repainted these days, with lights and colorful lights everywhere, so he couldn't help but feel a little excited when he walked in the yard.  At the auspicious evening, he personally put on the wedding dress and drove to Li Linfu's house to welcome the bride.  Next to him are relatives and friends of the groom's family.  The Ye family is a small clan and does not have many relatives and friends in Chang'an City. However, Ye Chang communicates widely, from high-ranking officials to traders and footmen.few.  "Brother Liu, I've got a lot of work to do with the best man's job." When Ye Chang boarded the car, he raised his hands to Liu Yan next to him. Now Liu Yan has also been transferred to Chang'an. He is rarely famous, and he has made an agreement with Ye Chang to be transferred back from Luoyang.  In the capital, Ye Chang had made great efforts, so he volunteered to be Ye Chang's best man.  "Don't worry, I'm already prepared," Liu Yan said with a smile.  "I have to be the best groomsman," Liu Yan said, and there was a hint of humanity.  This man is in his twenties, similar in age to Ye Chang, has a strange appearance, and comes with a smile.  When Ye Chang saw him, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Li, why are you here?" "I heard that you were so happy, how could you not come?" The man called Brother Li looked at Liu Yan and said, "This is Brother Liu."  Exactlyit turns out to be you, Li Changyuan." The person here is Li Mi and Li Changyuan. He is also a young prodigy. When he was seven years old, he was a friend of the then prime minister Zhang Jiuling and was known as a talented prime minister. He and Ye  Chang's friendship is also quoted in "The Wealth of Nations". Ye Chang rebelled several times at the road construction site. The two slept together and had a very tacit understanding. He came to compete with Liu Yan for the best friend. Ye Chang knew that both of them were in love.  It was just to join in the fun, but the people around them started making noises, and the two refused to give in. For a while, there was a lot of excitement again. I saw the two of them arguing, but I heard someone shouting: "The bridegroom's family is welcoming the bride, what can I do?"  Can I not be the bridesmaid? Ye Chang stood up in the car and looked at each other. He saw only one person, rich and handsome, as elegant as a fairy, walking slowly, but it was Li Bai. Li Bai traveled around the world and heard about Ye Chang's wedding, so the two of them became friends.  , he naturally wanted to go to Chang'an to express his congratulations.  Although we are far away, we will soon catch up.  His poetry was famous far and wide, but neither Liu Yan nor Li Mi gave in. Ye Chang smiled and said: "I wonder if it is stipulated in the etiquette system that there must not be more than one groomsmen? Anyone who does not deny it is affirmative. In this case,  Then I invited the three groomsmen, what do you think?" Everyone laughed, and they immediately changed their clothes, and then drove out and headed towards Li Linfu's house.  The front of Li Linfu's house is now decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. According to the rules at this time, a small platform has been built in front of Li's house.  After the people welcoming the bride arrived, Ye Chang stepped onto the stage first, followed by the groomsmen and other friends. Then everyone shouted in unison: "Bride, come out." As soon as they shouted, hundreds of people surrounding the car shouted in unison.  When they got up, the people who came to see the excitement couldn't help shouting, and suddenly the sound of makeup urging in front of Li Linfu's house was like thunder.  After calling for a long time, the door of Li Mansion was closed tightly, and then opened a crack, and a person came out, but it was the master of ceremonies. He smiled and said: "Ye Shiyilang is famous for his poems. Today's wedding must be without poems. Please invite me."  A poem to encourage makeup" Everyone applauded. This poem to encourage makeup is one of the symbols of the flourishing poetry style of the Tang Dynasty, so it is often seen at weddings. If the groom is not good at poetry, the groomsmen can also do it for him.  The best man on Ye Chang's side was quite right, but with Li Taibai there, he stroked his beard and stepped forward, filled the cup with wine, and finished the poem.  Everyone praised them, but the female host shook her head and said: "I also ask the groom to write a poem for himself, and let the young lady Chen and the bride read it." Ye Chang laughed, called for a pen and ink, and wrote with a swipe: "  In the past, I was going to travel to Yujing, and the first immortal Xu Fenghou; today I am fortunate to be at the Qin and Jin gatherings, and I taught Luan Feng to go down to the makeup building early. "Although this poem was copied, with two words slightly changed, it still shows that Li Tengkong and I knew each other at the beginning.  He praised Li Tengkong as the "No. 1 Immortal", and everyone praised him.  Even if it is not as good as Li Bai's poems, the combination of scenes makes it better than Li Bai's poems.  The female host was still not enough, and said with a smile: "Good things come in pairs. How can one poem about Lang Jun be enough?" Ye Chang began to splash ink again: "I don't know what night it is, urging the Fengtai to get closer to the mirror stage; who said hibiscus?"  Plant it in the water and a branch will bloom in the glass mirror.  " This poem also changed three characters. It was originally written by Jia Dao. At this time, the scene was suitable. When everyone saw the sentence urging Feng Tai to get closer to the mirror stage, they all laughed. Someone said: "The groom is in a hurry.  You can't wait any longer. New wife, please come out." When the female emcee saw Ye Chang waving his pen and leaving, she said that he had been prepared for it. She had been ordered by someone to make Ye Chang look embarrassed, so she laughed again and said:  "The groom is a man of great talent and a rich scholar. Even though he is a girl in his boudoir, he has already heard of the groom. If he asks the groom to write a poem to urge the bride to make up, he will go and urge the bride to do it." Ye Chang copied two poems, and naturally  Not afraid to copy the third poem, he immediately wrote: "Chang'an has been welcoming the world for thousands of years, so don't delay the return of your love. Although time in heaven is different, it will be missed in the world."  The smoke trees are hanging down from the stems of apricots, and the picking children are holding cups with rings; the flute is not a fairy song, trying to attract Qin E to the Fengtai.  "After the purple poem was completed, Li Bai looked at it, laughed and waved behind him: "The drums are about to start." Immediately, the sound of flutes, suo na, and transverse flutes, and the cheerful music began. In this way, the female emcee could not say anything else, so she could only  After retreating, someone placed a saddle carved from sandalwood in front of the door, and everyone cheered, indicating that the woman was finally getting up, and the room was filled with candlelight.  Under the cover of a round fan, a woman in a hairpin and a ceremonial dress, supported by a maid, curled out and sat on the saddle.He sat on the horse for a while, meaning "peace", then stepped over the saddle, and then got on the wedding car amidst cheers.  As soon as she got in the car, the best man entered Li's house and left with a candle in his arms. The candles on the wedding car suddenly lit up, while the candles in Li's house were extinguished. Li Tengkong couldn't help but look back, feeling both joy and sweetness in his heart.  Uneasy.  At this moment, in Yuzhen Temple, Li Shouan saw the three makeup-inducing poems.  Li Shou'an, who was already in a depressed mood, couldn't sit still after seeing these three poems. He stood up and went out.  "Shou'an, what are you going to do?" "He wants to get married, why don't I just sit here?" Shou'an looked back at Princess Yuzhen with tears in his eyes: "Aunt, you say, you say,  Father, it¡¯s fine if he doesn¡¯t help me, but why should he help her? "Your father has his own considerations. Although he is the lord of the world and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, there are also times when he has no choice." Princess Yuzhen Youyou  Sighing, ever since he learned that Ye Chang's marriage was irrevocable and that it was Li Longji who granted the marriage, Shou'an refused to see Li Longji and even left the palace several times.  However, Li Longji, who had been prepared, stopped her. Now Yu Jian sent her to Yuzhen and asked Princess Yuzhen to keep a close eye on her.  "Then I don't care. He has his helplessness, but he shouldn't be like this." Shou'an said angrily: "III want to go out." "What can you do if you go out?  What else can you do besides making people laugh?" Yuzhen sighed again: "Shou'an, I know your temper. Although you don't say it with your mouth, do you really want others to sympathize with you or laugh at you?"  Shou'an was speechless. Of course she didn't want to be the object of others' pity.  "I have Zhuangzi in Wangwu. If you feel bored in Chang'an, go there." "I have Zhuangzi in Liaodong. If I feel bored, I will naturally go to Liaodong I never want to go back to Chang'an again."  Shouan said with a tearful voice: "Aunt, I want to become a monk, and I want to be like you." Yuzhen touched her hair and felt sour in her heart. She had no choice but to become a monk in the first place. How could she want this niece to repeat herself?  course.  "Before I become a monk, I want to go see him again. I must see with my own eyes the excitement of his wedding If my aunt is worried, just go with me." Seeing Yuzhen shaking his head, Shou'an added: "I'm just watching.  Let¡¯s see His wedding route is to pass in front of our Yuzhen Temple. " Hearing her plea, Yuzhen softened. Unfortunately, he was born in an emperor's family, and many things cannot be controlled by him.  Shouan wants to take a look, so let her take a look. Anyway, she can't do anything extraordinary in front of her.  With Yuzhen's permission, Shou'an cried again and said, "I know that my aunt treats me well. It would be great if I were my aunt's daughter." Yuzhen had no heirs. Hearing her childish words, he couldn't help but sigh.  He looked at her and said: "Idiot, idiot I only blame Ye Chang for his evil deeds, but he wants to provoke you." Lying in Yuzhen's arms, Shou'an's eyes were full of tears, but there was a cold light flashing in his eyes.
