Chapter 385: Empress Long's Grace
A quarter of an hour later.
Led by the crown prince Li Dan, everyone knelt on the ground in unison, and the mountain shouted: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" β
"Zhongqing is flat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Although Wu Zetian is in his seventies this year, he is good at grooming his appearance, except for his gray hair, he looks like a person in his fifties.
She glanced around, and soon noticed the purple-clothed girl beside Cui Geng, and said lovingly: "You are today's bride Lu Ruolan?" Come, stand by my side, and let me take a good look at you. β
"Yes." Lu Ruolan obediently agreed and came to Wu Zetian's approach.
Wu Zetian took her hand and sighed: "Well, yes, born beautiful, I see pity, worthy of my minister!" β
This is good, a boast, the most important thing is that this is the emperor's golden mouth!
Lu Ruolan's face turned red with excitement, and she bowed down and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!" β
Unexpectedly, Wu Zetian hadn't finished boasting, and continued: "Cui Aiqing is not simple, when he was the governor of Zhechong Mansion, he captured the Emperor for me; When he was the political envoy of Lingnan Province, he solved the case of Wu Sanzhong's rebellion......"
It's really embarrassing for Mrs. Wu, one by one, I remember it clearly, as if I had experienced it myself.
The guests around were stupid, there could be thousands of officials above the fifth grade, and Her Majesty the Empress didn't remember their past, whether she could recognize them all had to be said. What is Cui Geng's current state called? Jane is in the heart of the emperor! In the future, it will be a certainty!
However, even more surprising to them was yet to come.
Wu Zetian finally said: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't bring any congratulatory gifts. In this way, I will give a pair of words to congratulate the newlyweds of Cui's book. Come on, get pen and paper! β
"Huh? Giving words? β
This time, someone finally exclaimed.
It is not uncommon for Wu Zetian to give people things, for example, when he was appointed as the commander of Jiangdu County, Wu Zetian gave him a palace coat.
But it's so hard to get a word.
Wu Zetian herself is a great calligrapher, and the "flying white style" she wrote is a school of its own, which can be called unprecedented and unprecedented. β
She respects her identity and rarely gives words, even if she is in a good mood, she gives words to important ministers, and she only writes the minister's name.
But today, to send a congratulatory gift to the newlyweds, Her Majesty can't just write the name, right?
Damn, how can Cui Geng be so honored, he is so favored by His Majesty, he is simply going to heaven!
Emotions of joy, envy, and even jealousy begin to breed in some people's emotions. At this moment, the man who gave them anger cameβ
"Report!"
The eunuch Wu Zhuang quickly stepped into the hall, knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, there are many people outside, saying that they are here to say hello to Cui Shu, I don't know if I want them to come in?" β
Wu Zetian glanced at Cui Geng and said, "It seems that the popularity of Cui Geng's works is very good, who are they?" β
"Well, that's too much. The first ones are Liang Wang Wu Sansi, Wei Wang Wu Chenghe, Hanoi Wang Wu Yizong, Huaiyang Wang Wu Yanxiu, Nei Shi (Zhongshu Ling) Lou Shide, Fengge Luantai Ping Zhangshi (Prime Minister) Su Wei, Li Qiao...... There are also Luoyang Ling, Sinong Shaoqing to Junchen. β
"Come to Junchen?" Wu Zetian's face sank slightly, and he said meaningfully: "It seems that the popularity of Cui's writings is very good, let's announce them in." β
"Yes."
After a while, these dignitaries and nobles came, and there were two or three hundred. The hall must not be opened, just outside the neatly arranged, long live the mountain.
Then, Wu Sansi, Lai Junchen and several other important ministers of the court entered the hall, and as for the others, they could only eat and drink in other courtyards.
At that time, Wu Zhuang had already put the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on several cases, and said, "Your Majesty, please!" β
"Wait!"
Taking advantage of the gap just now, Lai Junchen had already inquired about what had happened, and hurriedly stopped him.
Wu Zetian stopped writing, frowned slightly, and said, "Come to Aiqing, what's the matter with you?" β
"Uh...... Weichen thought that His Majesty's gesture of giving words was inappropriate. More than 30 years ago, the imperial court issued an edict prohibiting the five surnames and seven wangs from intermarrying each other. Although no one is pursuing this matter now, it is a matter of the face of the imperial court......
"More than thirty years ago?"
As soon as Wu Zetian made a look, Shangguan Wan'er took over the conversation, and said with a smile: "Come to Shaoqing, the people of this house come to ask you, in which year was our Great Zhou Dynasty built?" β
Lai Junchen instantly realized his loophole, and said, "Although the Great Zhou was built in the first year of the Heavenly Grant seven years ago, it ......"
Shangguan Wan'er raised her eyebrows and interrupted: "It's nothing, the thirty-year edict was promulgated by the Tang Dynasty." My Great Zhou Revolution is new, but you come to Junchen but you don't forget the old edict of the previous dynasty, what is your intention? β
"I ......"
Whether to support Zhou or Tang is a matter of principle, even if Lai Junchen does not dare to be ambiguous on this issue, he quickly knelt down and said: "Weichen is guilty of capital crimes, please punish Your Majesty!" β
Of course, Wu Zetian would not believe that Junchen had any thoughts of "supporting Tang", so he waved his hand and said: "Come to Aiqing, you have to change your problem of not learning and not being able to speak without concealment, and you must not be so reckless in the future." β
"Yes!"
In fact, there are more Tang edicts that Da Zhou continues to implement, and Shangguan Wan'er's words just now can be regarded as being on the line, and the words are strong.
However, with Wu Zetian's endorsement, this is the biggest truth in the world. In other words, from now on, the "Marriage Ban" will be officially abolished.
No one is pursuing and being completely legal, but two concepts, Lai Junchen was dripping blood in his heart at this time, and secretly thought, grandma's, why am I doing such a sentence? This is good, Cui Geng has become a great hero of the five surnames and seven hopes, and it will be even more difficult to move him in the future.
Of course, the abolition of the "Marriage Ban" is a great good thing for the five surnames and seven hopes. Among the guests present, the Cui family and the Lu family were the most, and they immediately knelt down in unison, and the cheers were thunderous.
The five surnames and seven looked at each other, and the others also had to kneel, and for a while, the voice of "Long live my emperor" resounded in the sky.
Wu Zetian seemed to be very satisfied with everyone's performance, stood up, and said loudly: "Zhongqing is flat!" In such a peaceful and prosperous world, I should share it with all the secretaries. Come on, pour wine, let's have a drink together! β
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a glass of wine, Wu Zetian picked up the wolf pen again, brushed a little bit, and wrote four big words: "A good couple is natural".
The slightest hint of white in the strokes, like meteors flying in the sky, like cliffs and waterfalls, like weaving threads shuttling, if the hair flutters, even Cui Geng, a person who doesn't know much about calligraphy, feels the most beautiful enjoyment.
This is the heirloom of our Cui family, no matter how rich you are, you have no place to buy it!
He knelt on the ground happily and said, "Thank Your Majesty for your generous gift, and I am willing to die for Your Majesty!" β
Wu Zetian said: "Get up, on a day of great joy, what do you say about death, death." Belch...... When is it now, have I ever delayed Cui Aiqing to worship heaven and earth? β
Cui Geng hurriedly patted a small sycophant and said: "Where the Son of Heaven is, the evil retreats, there are no taboos, and it is always auspicious." β
Immediately, under the witness of Wu Zetian, he worshipped heaven and earth with Lu Ruolan.
There was also a small episode here, Erniang was a concubine and couldn't put it on the table, so "worship parents" was changed to "worship sister-in-law".
Wu Zetian was happy, and Feng Su embroidered as the five-grade lady "Putian County Jun".
I've only heard of "Sealing Wife and Shadow Son", but how have you heard of "Shadow Sister-in-law"? If it was usual, Lai Junchen would definitely have to give Cui Geng some eye medicine.
But now, Wu Zetian came to congratulate Cui Geng on his marriage, gave words, and even abolished the "marriage ban", which shocked him stupidly, and he didn't dare to refute it.
Those who should be rewarded have been rewarded, and those who should not have been rewarded have also been rewarded, Wu Zetian drove back to the palace with understanding. The others began to drink and feast, and Cui Geng and Lu Ruolan, the newcomers, were sent to the "Qinglu".
"Qinglu", also known as "Baizi Tent", is to build a tent ~ tent in the open air in the southwest corner of the "auspicious land" of the residence. From the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, the first night of the newlyweds was in the Qinglu, not in the house.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"The system is from the heart, and the heart is true. Skillfully tie the heart to the heart, pay to the heart. β
After drinking a glass of wine, a maid sang a song, connecting Cui Geng and Lu Ruolan's feet with colorful silk threads, and this grand wedding was completed.
"Ah Lang, lady, the slave family is retiring."
The maids chuckled lightly and slowly retreated, and only Cui Geng and Lu Ruolan were left in the Qinglu.
Lu Ruolan suddenly pursed her lips and said, "Erlang, are you proud now?" β
Lu Ruolan is stunning, and under the light, she looks even more beautiful, Cui Geng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and said: "Being able to marry Ruolan as a wife, as a husband is really a blessing that I don't know how many lifetimes I have cultivated, of course I am proud." β
"What are you thinking?" Lu Ruolan glanced at him and said, "What the concubine said is not this, but the grand scene of today's wedding." I'm afraid that only when Princess Taiping got married, can she be compared with the concubine. β
Of course, Cui Geng understood that the treatment that Wu Zetian gave himself was simply too over-spec, and his heart sank, and he said, "I'm afraid Your Majesty's purpose is not so simple!" β
"The concubine doesn't think so." Lu Ruolan put her hands on her cheeks, and said with little stars in her eyes: "My husband first saved the lives of hundreds of thousands of people for Your Majesty, and then came up with a "newspaper" idea for her to win the hearts of the people all over the world, isn't it worth her to come and congratulate her?" β
"How can it be that simple?"
Cui Geng wanted to say more, but looking at the beauty's unparalleled face, he changed his mind in an instant - the Spring Festival is worth a thousand gold, why am I arguing about this? How to spoil the atmosphere!
Immediately, he stood up, picked up Lu Ruolan suddenly, walked to the side of the bed, and said, "Don't talk about others, lady, it's not too early, let's rest early!" β
"Don't! Other! Husband, come slowly! β
When the matter came, Lu Ruolan was a little flustered and refused: "At the beginning, my husband's song "Twenty-four Bridges and Bright Moon Night" made our marriage a success. It's the night of the cave room tonight, do you have to make a poem too, to have a beginning and an end? β
Your sister, you've done so many poems today, and now you want to?
Cui Geng breathed heavily, and couldn't wait to say: "Okay, there is a poem for my husband to send to Ruolan: Ten miles of Pinghu is full of frost, and every inch of green silk is sad for the Chinese year." Look at the moon-shaped single look at each other, only envy the mandarin duck and not the immortal. β
"Only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals? That's a good point. Thinking of the waste, emptiness, loneliness and coldness in the past two years, Lu Ruolan was deeply moved.
However, she immediately understood the taste, and said: "This sentence seems to be used, and it is Lu Zhaolin of this dynasty...... Well, husband, you lighten it, it hurts! β
There was a burst of cracking silk, and Lu Ruolan couldn't care about Cui Geng's copying poems anymore.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Knock knock~~
The next morning, Cui Geng was awakened by a heavy knock on the door, and said impatiently: "Who? So early, what's the matter with looking for this official? β
"It's me." Song Genhai said cautiously outside the door: "The villain doesn't want to either, but Your Majesty has a decree to announce your entry into the palace!" β
Damn, I knew yesterday wasn't that simple.
Cui Geng scolded secretly, hurriedly dressed under Ruolan's service, and followed the eunuch who passed the decree into the palace!
