    Thank you Mr. Yang Sanshui for your review vote!  thanks for your support!  Thanks!  !  !  A year and a half later, on the first day of the first lunar month of the new year, Wuyang City was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations. The mansion left by the original magistrate was briefly renovated and used as the palace of His Majesty the Emperor.  There is another woman here, that is Concubine Yang Shu, the original mother of the last emperor of the Song Dynasty.  Together with dozens of maids and eunuchs brought in hastily, this small palace was formed.  Today is a great day for the Zhao and Song royal family. Today, His Majesty the Emperor, who has just turned eleven years old, will marry Guo Xiang, the daughter of the late Xiangyang King Guo Jing, as his queen.  In the residence of Prime Minister Lu Xiufu, Guo Xiang was sitting in an exquisite small pavilion. She was wearing a bright red phoenix robe and a phoenix crown. Her face was covered by a fine red satin hijab, and she sat there quietly.  .  Next to her was her sister Guo Fu, who was sitting next to her at the moment, fiddling with and checking the various small items she needed while talking about various precautions for a woman to get married.  It's just that most of these matters are the etiquette of people in the world or the family of poetry and literature, and they are not used in the royal wedding.  In addition, their grandfather Huang Laoxie was a weirdo who regarded feudal ethics as dregs. Under such a family upbringing, he did not pay attention to all kinds of etiquette.  The Song Dynasty was scattered everywhere and suffered a lot of personnel losses. Therefore, many officials in charge of etiquette were also lost.  In the two and a half years since Chen Xiang traveled through time, he has always advocated a simple and effective social style. Therefore, although this wedding must be held very grandly to inspire the hearts of the people, it must not be complicated or extravagant.  Have fun with the people.  Regardless of each other.  Such a request is difficult for Lu Xiufu and Wen Tianxiang. Fortunately, although Lu Xiufu is not good at making changes.  But he was particularly good at practical matters. He quickly followed the emperor's instructions and spent three months to finally prepare for the wedding.  Among the men¡¯s guests, they were naturally members of the royal family and court ministers, while among the women¡¯s guests were wealthy people from all over the world.  Royal members and court ministers naturally understand the rules and etiquette, and the rivers and lakes are not so regular.  However, it is these wealthy people who still know how to restrain themselves that make the whole Wuyang City more lively.  Before the Song Dynasty, the Lingnan area was also inaccessible and was a land that had not been developed on a large scale.  Only Wuyang City is slightly popular, and most of the other areas are lands where the Li and Miao people lived during the era.  Later, the Northern Song Dynasty fell under the iron heel of the Jin Dynasty, and a large number of Han people continued to cross the Yangtze River and migrate south to avoid the war.  At the same time, the Southern Song Dynasty was also established, and the population in the Jiangnan area began to gradually become denser.  Later, the Mongols invaded again and once again pushed the Han people southwards like a plug. Only then did the Lingnan area begin to gain popularity.  In the past year, Song Ting fought a turnaround and started a strange war with the Mongols.  There was not a decent war between the two sides on the frontal battlefield.  But outside the battlefield, the two sides were strangled fiercely.  In order to eradicate the mass base of the Han people, the Mongols did not hesitate to adopt the three-guang policy, and even forced a large number of Han people to flee. Only then did they begin to think of the corrupt and incompetent Song Ting.  began to flee to the Lingnan area controlled by the Song Dynasty.  The Mongols also tried to sneak in among the refugees and steal the checkpoints several times, but they were infiltrated by a large number of Han knights.  They were assassinated one after another before they even got close to the pass. Even the few who were lucky enough to get through could not find the organization at all, let alone play any role, and could only lurk for a long time.  In the past year and a half, the Han population in Lingnan has surged from less than one million to two million. Chen Xiang bulldozed a large number of Limiao villages and forcibly recruited them as civilians, so that the Song Dynasty now has actual control  The population has reached more than three million, and Wuyang City alone has a population of about 200,000.  Therefore, although Wuyang City does not look as prosperous and prosperous as Lin'an, Kaifeng and other large cities, it is already a very prosperous metropolis for the people of Lingnan who have not seen prosperity for a long time.  In the square outside, every quarter of an hour, dozens of large fireworks are set off, reflecting the sky like stars hanging upside down, which is extremely beautiful.  Since Chen Xiang came to power, he has always paid special attention to engineering and business. Among engineering, he paid special attention to gunpowder, watermills and windmills and other power-generating equipment.  Especially after Chen Xiang realized the importance of Mingjiao and decided to revive Mingjiao and take it firmly into his own hands, he paid special attention to the research and development of gunpowder.  In particular, many Taoist priests who made alchemy were recruited and enlightened into light messengers, so that they would not be afraid of gunpowder explosions, and thus began the research and development of gunpowder weapons very efficiently.  These particularly gorgeous fireworks that fly extremely high are the by-products of gunpowder weapons research over the past two years.  Correspondingly, the little emperor summoned eminent monks from Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and Mingjiao to gather together.Driven by the dual identity of emperor and super master, he began to completely reorganize and establish the Mingjiao teachings. A new Mingjiao that perfectly integrates the three religions is taking shape. Guo Xiang believes that as long as this little emperor is given time,  A prosperous country integrating politics and religion will soon be formed.  Guo Xiang, who was in her wild thoughts, was quickly pulled by Guo Fu, and said with some annoyance: "Xiang'er, what are you thinking about? Today is your big day, and the person you are marrying is not an ordinary person, so you must take it seriously!" Guo Fu said!  There are already some wrinkles on her face. Anyway, she is already a woman in her forties. Since marrying Yeluqi, she has given birth to three boys and two girls. Even if she has practiced martial arts extremely well, she cannot stop the passage of time.  , already showing some of his old appearance, today he is also wearing brand new silk clothes, and his waist is still showing, but he still looks charming and has a unique flavor.  "Sister, I was thinking, if my father and mother knew that I would eventually marry the little emperor of the Song Dynasty, I wonder what they would think" Guo Xiang said quietly.  In fact, Guo Fu, who was more nervous than Guo Xiang, was also stunned for a moment. She stopped what she was doing to find something for herself, turned her head, looked at Guo Xiang seriously, then looked at the sky outside the window, and sighed quietly.  .  Said: "I think they must be very happyyou know. You are my father and mother's favorite little daughter, and your grandfather's most beloved little grandson. This little emperor doesn't look like a sick child.  He is also like a good emperor who is sensible and can revitalize the government. Although he still has the status of a Mingjiao leader, he is just the leader of a big gang. My father and mother should not have any objections" After hearing what Guo Fu said,  But Guo Xiang didn't feel that she had any less worries at all.  Feeling even more melancholy, Guo Xiang knew that she couldn't talk in circles like this for her eldest sister, who was used to having a bad temper, so she thought about it and then said: "But it turns out that dad once had an affair with his sworn brother Yang.  Uncle has agreed that if there are boys and girls in the next generation, they must be married Now the eldest sister has married Brother Yelu, Brother Yang Guo has a Dragon Girl, and now I have to marry someone else You.  Speaking of her father's spirit in heavencould itcould she feel a little bit regretful and unwilling?" Only then did Guo Fu understand what her sister was talking about, and couldn't help but become stunned. She sat next to Guo Xiang, holding a hand with both hands.  Wearing a red handkerchief made of fine silk satin.  His eyes looked empty into the distance, seeming to recall some past events between himself and that cunning and handsome man.  Neither of the two sisters spoke, they just sat there, quietly, as if they were going to talk about the next topic.  No matter how you mention it, it's not appropriate.  Guo Fu thought for a long time and finally laughed.  Said: "Sister, I was almost deceived by you. If you really still have him in your heart, you wouldn't have agreed immediately when the little emperor directly proposed to you! You were so shameless that you insisted on doing it for him.  All the confidential secretaries have already lived in the palace. I say you are too young, too smart, and think too much. Don¡¯t say anything else. Although that boy Yang Guo is handsome and has martial arts skills.  He is also strong, but he is a dissatisfied rake. If it were not for the twists and turns between him and Miss Long, the relationship between the two would not only include love, the loyalty of sharing hardships, the kindness between master and disciple, but also decades of friendship.  If she had been tortured so hard, Yang Guo would have dumped her just like Gongsun Lue, Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang. Moreover, although he was full of wit and intelligence, he had no sense of responsibility at all, no matter what happened.  , I just slapped my ass and left, not even feeling ashamed, but feeling proud of him. Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t go against my father¡¯s pressure and ask my mother to make the decision to marry him.  I chose you, Brother Yelu.¡± Guo Xiang had never heard her relative, who was more like an elder than a sister, speaking so thoughtfully about herself. She couldn¡¯t help but become interested in chatting, and asked, ¡°Then why did you choose Brother Yelu?¡±  After saying this, Guo Fu, who was already a mother of several children, blushed and said leisurely and fascinated: "Brother Yelu is not only handsome, but also smart and powerful in martial arts. Of course, all three of these are better than  He is not as good as Yang Guo, but he has advantages that Yang Guo does not have at all, that is, a sense of responsibility and a broad mind that a man must have. Compared with Yang Guo, Yelu Qi is more like a man like his father.  He is a hero! You see, after the city of Xiangyang was destroyed, it was the time when our country and our country needed our lives and blood the most. Have you ever seen that cunning villain Yang Guo again?  , Most of it is because he feels sorry for himself!" Guo Xiang lowered his head sadly and shook his head gently, which made Guo Fu complain again.  Guo Xiang sorted it out and then continued to belittle Yang Guo and praise her husband: "Unlike Brother Yelu, he is not even Han himself, and his martial arts skills are even less.??The best in the world, but he inherited his father's legacy, knowing that he was defeated, but still led people to garrison Xiangyang City, and his legs were lost When His Majesty went to rescue him, he even showed the integrity of a man.  Come on, you won't bend your knees to worship the emperor's leader just to mend a pair of broken legs. Do you think that boy Yang Guo can do this?  " Guo Xiang thought for a while, shook her head gently, and said: "If it were Brother Yang, he would definitely use his cleverness to trick the Little Emperor into getting the Lightbringer's body into his hands, instead of waiting for the Little Emperor to give it to him.  he.  " Guo Fu said angrily: "You have been with this person for two years, and you still call him a little emperor. This is wrong!  Men, you care about this very much, just call yourself Your Majesty from now on!  " Guo Xiang's face turned red and she said, "Sister!  You care more than others!  Guo Fu teased her again and said, "Okay."  I know you are an independent thinker, since you are sitting here obediently.  You are all dressed up so beautifully, so you must have made up your mind.  I think that although His Majesty married you with the intention of stabilizing the hearts of righteous men in the world, he also really likes you. You see, the eyes he looks at you are different. They are not the eyes of a ten-year-old child. You say he  I believe even those who are forty years old!  I'm afraid my brother Yelu, who has experienced it for a long time, may not be more mature than this majesty in his heart!  And His Majesty is only eleven years old, but he is already turning the tide.  He has also done many legendary things, and he can really be regarded as a great hero. Even if his father and mother are here, he must give him a thumbs up and praise him!  What's more, he is very handsome. Compared to Yang Guo's handsome handsomeness, he is not on the same level at all. He also has an irresistible charm.  People feel like him upon seeing him, he is truly a royal nobleman, it¡¯s just different!  Besides, the future of the Song Dynasty and the glory of our Guo family will fall on you!  You need to hurry up.  If you give birth to a few more fat boys, you will be the emperor¡¯s mother in the future!  " Guo Xiang's face turned redder and she spat: "Sister!  !  !  What nonsense are you talking about!  !  !  He is just a little kid!  " Guo Fu smiled and said, "What about children?  Have you already checked his body?  "As they spoke, the two of them laughed again. Although it was not very solemn, they successfully cleared away the obstacles and tense atmosphere in their hearts. At the end, Guo Fu became quiet again. She stared at Guo Xiang's beautiful eyes that could talk.  Said: "Besides, your majesty personally presided over the ceremony and conferred the title of King Xiangyang on my father and my mother on the first rank of imperial concubine. I believe that under Jiuquan, my father and mother will also feel very gratified From this point of view, your majesty and that  Yang Guo is not on the same level, not to mention that you are now going to be the most noble female queen in the world. How can you not compare with marrying that stinky boy Yang Guo and becoming a child?  I think you understand the trade-offs better than I do.  " Speaking of her sister's confession, how could Guo Xiang still not understand her innermost thoughts? Although Chen Xiang is young, he is really a famous hero and a man with great responsibilities. He will always  The Han people and the Song Dynasty were rescued from danger and had become Guo Xiang's spiritual sustenance unconsciously. Since becoming the little emperor's confidential secretary, only Guo Xiang knew that the little emperor had to work for more than 18 years every day.  For several hours, he often slept for less than two hours. He had tried his best for this broken country and the people of the world. If it had been Yang Guo, would he have been able to do it long ago?  I don¡¯t know where his cleverness went. Guo Xiang is no longer an innocent young girl. She is already twenty-three years old and has been a heroine for many years. How could she not know the depth of her heart?  What did Chu Zhen really want? At that moment, he really decided to become Chen Xiang's wife, and from then on, he completely kicked that man out of his heart. In another hall, Chen Xiang was accompanying him.  As his nominal mother, Concubine Yang Shu, sat around, people from the Zhao and Song royal families who had fled here were only a total of more than thirty people. Compared with the national power of the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, it was  It's really declining, even the average rural wealthy can't compare. At this moment, Chen Xiang is also wearing a bright red wedding dress. He has been practicing kung fu for two years, and his body is very tall, strong and delicate, and he looks even more heroic.  Full of compelling charm, there are three clerks next to him who are sweating profusely and writing furiously, clearly recording every word he said and issuing it as national law. This is the so-called gentleman who talks about heaven.  The source of Xian's statement. Today's occasion is the best time for Chen Xiang to face up to the special group of the royal family and take advantage of the weak foundation to carry out drastic reforms. Chen Xiang's voice echoed loudly and clearly in the hall.  It is clear and reaches everyone's ears. It is said word for word, which facilitates the secretary's honest recording and shows the importance of this sentence.sex and decisiveness.  "From now on, the children of the royal family, who are over sixteen years old and under sixty years old, will no longer be provided with a monthly salary. They need to find a job to support themselves. No mistake! The royal family and the government are not allowed to give any preferential treatment that is different from ordinary people! Violators will be considered corrupt and perverting the law.  Punishment! Strictly pursue legal responsibility! Only the widowed and lonely royal family has the obligation to provide care for them! In addition, the royal family in the past dynasties no longer established a prince. At the beginning of each emperor's reign, the royal family, ministers above the fifth rank, and representatives of the rural elders were selected from the royal family.  Recommend outstanding children to serve as crown princes. The recommended disciples must have more than three years of experience in the military and more than three years of experience in governing local areas. The crown prince will be re-elected every five years. Until the previous emperor dies and the new crown prince succeeds, the next crown prince will continue to be elected!  In order to prevent the country from falling into the hands of those who are not worthy at all!" After hearing this, everyone was shocked and didn't know what to say, and fell into chaos!  Concubine Yang Shu was even more worried and said: "Your Majesty, is this a little too aggressive" Chen Xiang politely saluted the mother and said: "Mother, I have already planned this matter. There is no need to worry about it anymore."  Concubine Yang Shu was used to her son being very assertive after drowning once. Seeing that the young emperor had thought clearly, she stopped persuading her and allowed the three clerks to carefully record everything the emperor said.  One sentence.  After roughly arranging the affairs of the royal family, Lu Xiufu happened to come in and said that the auspicious time was coming soon, and asked the Queen Mother and Her Majesty to prepare.  Chen Xiang and Yang Shufei walked to another hall together, and under the guidance of the chamberlain, they walked to the main seat in the hall.  Standing in the hall are all very important guests.  Standing on one side are all the civil and military officials of the imperial court. No one who is not fifth grade or above can stand here.  On the other side, there is a group of particularly prestigious people in the world, among whom two old men are particularly eye-catching.  One of them has white hair and beard, and he is playing around like a child. Many people around him call him an old naughty boy, so this person is definitely the old naughty boy Zhou Botong.  The other old man is an old monk, with wrinkles on his face stacked together like twisted pages of a book, making people wonder whether he is over a hundred years old.  The knights around this man were very respectful to him, and his status was obviously extraordinary. He should be Prince Duan of the Southern Emperor, Master Nanseng Yideng.  Huang Laoxie passed away from grief not long after Xiangyang City was destroyed, so he could not attend the wedding of his most beloved granddaughter.  Another person was sent from Peach Blossom Island, but it was Cheng Ying, the contemporary owner of Peach Blossom Island.  Yeluqi from the Beggar Clan was also present. He still did not choose to change his beliefs and become a messenger of light in order to complete his body. However, Chen Xiang found a skilled craftsman and built him a leg according to the blade legs of later generations of disabled speed runners.  Two fine iron prostheses were made. Under the cover of pants and shoes, there was no clue. On the contrary, there were two more powerful hidden weapons.  There were also Ming Cult members such as Yang Zizai. Yang Zizai said that he had brought his newborn son Yang Dingtian. When Chen Xiang heard the name Yang Dingtian, she still felt it was very familiar. After remembering who it was,  Nothing was said.  I imagine that after my arrival, the future history will undergo great changes, so it would be superfluous for me to remind him. I just looked at this talented child and specially allowed Yang Zizai to take him.  All martial arts were taught to this future leader of the Ming Cult who was still an infant.  Today¡¯s two major sects, Shaolin and Quanzhen Sect, also sent envoys. The envoy from Shaolin was Zen Master Wu Se, who had listened to the Nine Suns Sutra together with Guo Xiang and Zhang Junbao.  The envoy of the Quanzhen Sect is a fellow disciple of the leader of the Quanzhen Sect, so he can be considered a very polite person.  Among the others, there are the leaders of some sects that Chen Xiang has never even heard of. However, under the mass killings of the Mongols, it is not easy for there to be so many people in the world.  Therefore, Chen Xiang no longer paid special attention to these people. Instead, he gave gifts to the little-known sects, including a collection of the Shen Zhao Sutra and the Blood Knife Sutra.
