Chapter 1071: The Emperor's Wedding

At this moment, Renxi, who was originally hesitant, made up her mind. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info[Almost all the books that Marshmallow wants to read.,It's much more stable than the general station, and it's faster than the update.,There's no ads in the whole text.] ]

Since Jingfen is so uncompetitive, then let's just have a "sister easy to marry"!

In any case, the future imperial heir must have the blood of her Yehanaran family!

"That's what you said." Empress Dowager Renxi nodded, and asked again, "How many people do you think it is good to increase the number of show girls?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, the minister thinks that the number of show girls should be around twenty." Lin Yiqing replied, "The show girl's physique should be healthy, and her appearance should be dignified, so she doesn't have to be too flamboyant, and she doesn't have to be too ...... Bedtime. ”

Listening to Lin Yiqing's answer, Empress Dowager Renxi knew who he was talking about, and couldn't help laughing.

She finally understood what Lin Yiqing's intention was, so she simply stopped hiding it in front of him.

"My wife's little thoughts, you see through it and don't say it, and you dare to make fun of me!" Of course, she knows that her niece looks almost good, but she won't let his flowery radish be called a "sleeping custom", right?

"Don't dare!" Lin Yiqing hurriedly knelt down, but secretly laughed in his heart, "The minister just thinks that Jingfang, the third daughter of Cheng'en Gong, is more suitable......" He simply opened the skylight and said something bright, anyway, when it comes to this, this matter is ironclad, and the next thing is just to act with each other......

"Lin Hanpeng, you're quite good at planning for my wife, hum!"

"The minister vainly discusses the family affairs of the queen mother, and it is a capital crime!"

"Come on, get up! Lin Hanpeng, even if you have a conscience and know the difficulties of my wife, the number of show girls will increase to twenty! ”

"The Empress Dowager Shengming!"

"The Legacy of the Great Qianguang Xu Dynasty":

"After Xiaoqin was selected for Dezong, in the body and hall, the young daughters of the ministers who were selected were summoned to enter the house, and they were lined up in turn, with five candidates, the first Yehana Lan clan, the three daughters of Guixiang, the deputy capital, and the niece of Xiaoqin. The second is the second daughter of Jiangxi Governor Dexin, and the last is the second daughter of the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites. At that time, the Queen Mother sat down, Dezong served, Princess Rongchang Gulun and Fujin ordered the woman to stand behind the seat. Set up a small long table in front, put a handle of inlaid jade Ruyi on the top, two pairs of red embroidered purses, for the selection of evidence, cover the example of the big dry dynasty, choose the one in the middle, give it as you wish. Those who choose the concubines will be given a purse. Xihou pointed to the female language Dezong and said: "Emperor, whoever is worthy of the election, you will judge it, and those who agree will be granted wishful thinking." When he spoke, he was about to give it to Dezong. Dezong said: 'This major matter should be handled by the emperor, and the ministers cannot be autonomous. The Queen Mother insisted that she choose, Dezong was willing to give it to Guixiang Girl, the Queen Mother was quite commended, Dezong took the purse to the De Woman before wanting to give it, looking back at the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother coughed lightly, Dezong stopped, Gu Guixiang said: "It is enough to have Qing." Then he went back, put the purse on the table, and did not renew the election. The queen mother intended to be a daughter of the De family, that is, she was elected as a concubine, and she must have the worry of winning favor, so she ordered Princess Rongchang to give a pair of purses and two daughters in the last column, that is, the second concubine of Hou Zhizhen and Jin. ”

"Guangxu Dynasty Donghualu":

"On the fifth day of the first month, the edict was issued, saying: 'The fourteen-year-old daughter of the deputy capital Guixiang, Yahanalan, is hereby selected, dignified and virtuous, and is established as the queen. The fifteen-year-old female Tatara clan, who was formerly the squire Changxu, was named a concubine; The thirteen-year-old female Tatara clan, who was formerly the squire Changxu, was named a concubine. Encyclical. ”

The wedding ceremony of Emperor Guangxu was held on April 27 of the lunar calendar in the fifteenth year of Guangxu, according to the folk customs of Middle Earth, the groom should personally go to the bride's house to marry the bride, and the emperor who was the son of heaven did not go to it, but sent envoys to go on his behalf, so the royal greeting ceremony was also called the welcome ceremony. In order to abide by the ancient etiquette, the mighty welcoming procession came to the house of Cheng'en Gongguixiang at midnight.

After the arrival of the welcoming procession, the first thing to be held is the canonization ceremony, which is to award the prospective queen with a golden book and a golden treasure symbolizing the queen's status, which is often called the golden seal of the people. This ceremony was performed by the emperor's envoys and the female officials accompanying him, and the empress was officially established after the canonization. Yehanaran. Jingfang was canonized as Empress Deyu.

The gold treasure of Queen Deyu is made of 500 taels of pure gold, 10 centimeters high, 14 centimeters square on the printing surface, and the four words of "Queen's Treasure" are cast in Boxia two characters respectively, and the yellow ribbon is tied at the place of the seal button, and the workmanship is very exquisite.

After the canonization ceremony, the procession set off at 11:55 a.m. for the Forbidden City. Empress Deyu is wearing a gorgeous wedding dress and riding a yellow phoenix. The procession of welcoming relatives passed through the Daqing Gate, *, Duanmen, Wumen, and Taihe Gate, and arrived in front of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City at 3:30. When I arrived at Qianqingmen, I arrived at the emperor's home. Empress Deyu went down to Fengyu here, someone took the apple in the queen's hand, handed over a treasure bottle, and the queen entered the palace with a treasure vase.

There are many wedding customs among the people of Middle-earth, and crossing the brazier is one of them. When the emperor gets married, the queen also has to cross the brazier and cross the saddle, and the brazier has the meaning of crossing the fire to drive away evil spirits, and also has the meaning of burning prosperity. The saddle pressed down with two apples, the homonym is peace. Crossing the saddle means peace and security.

When the emperor got married, the royal band was already ready, with musical instruments such as golden chimes, chimes, flutes and flutes, etc., and the music played at the wedding was the ancient court music "Zhonghe Shao Music". The cave houses of the emperor and empress are located in the Kunning Palace, which is the queen's dormitory.

After Emperor Guangxu and Empress Deyu entered the cave room, they first had to sit on the bed of the dragon and phoenix and eat the dumplings of their children and grandchildren. The dumplings are dumplings, which are prepared by the queen's family and must be cooked half-cooked. When eating, someone asks "whether to give birth or not", and the answer is "life", which is the same as that of the people, and the meaning it represents is that the royal family is more looking forward to the extension of the power of future generations. After eating the dumplings, the next step is to hold a joint ceremony. The conjugation ceremony was one of the most important elements of ancient weddings in Middle-earth. It is a scoop, divide a gourd into two halves, make two scoops, the groom and the bride each serve one, drink the wine in the scoop, it is a combination, symbolizing a happy marriage and growing old together.

The end of the feast marks the end of the most important wedding ceremony in the big wedding ceremony. This will be followed by a series of wedding ceremonies. On the second day of the fifth lunar month, the emperor held a court ceremony in the Forbidden City, a celebration ceremony on the fourth day of the Forbidden City, and a banquet ceremony and a blessing ceremony on the fifth and eighth days of the Lunar New Year. The Taihe Hall hangs a huge "Xi" word, the royal band is divided into the east and west, and Emperor Guangxu sits in the Taihe Hall and accepts the congratulations of the princes and hundreds of officials. After the celebration ceremony, a solemn edict ceremony was held. The edict ceremony was held on the tower of Guang'anmen Gate, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites announced the good news of the emperor's wedding to the world.

On the fifteenth day of the fifth lunar month, Emperor Guangxu held a banquet in the Taihe Hall to entertain the male members of the empress's maiden family and princes and ministers, while the empress came forward to entertain the female members of the maiden family. At this point, Emperor Guangxu's wedding ceremony came to an end.

This big wedding cost a total of 5.5 million taels of silver. Among them, the cost of various "foreign offices" is more than 1.05 million taels, accounting for about 20% of the total wedding expenses; The "internal" emperor and queen used crown clothes, court beads, hairpins, gold, silver, jewelry and jade, utensils used by concubines, queen makeup, and gold and silver utensils used by concubines and palaces, etc., totaled more than 4 million taels of silver, accounting for about 80% of the total consumption.

These taels of silver were mainly assigned and raised from the provinces and customs, and were collected from the whole country. Although the Empress Dowager Renxi, the supreme ruler of the Great Qian Empire, had instructed the preparation of the Guangxu Grand Ceremony: "The state funds are regular, the current rectification of military equipment, the need for a lot of money, and the provinces have partial disasters from time to time, it is especially advisable to be mindful of the people's hardships, cherish material resources, and the court is thrifty and thrifty, and be the first in the world, the ministers and others must look up to the body and worship the meaning of the dethroned and dethroned, strictly punish the undertakers, be serious and principled, and do not allow a little involvement in the superficial." However, the actual practice of officials is completely opposite, and the funds for the big wedding ceremony are not only not "frugal", but gradually increased. On May 20, the thirteenth year of Guangxu, Ren Ximing issued a decree that Guangxu's wedding should be paid, "the household department will plan two million taels of silver in advance", and the provinces will "pre-appoint two million taels". Half a year later, on the 17th day of the first month of the 14th year of Guangxu, Fu Kunmian, the Minister of Internal Affairs, issued an edict: "The money for handling the big wedding is not enough for 4 million taels, and the Ministry of Household Affairs will raise another 1 million taels." On September 26, he was ordered to "continue to raise 500,000 taels." A total of 5.5 million taels of silver were raised in three times.

The subjects of the empire did not feel that there was anything wrong with spending such a huge amount of silver taels on the wedding of the emperor, but some foreigners who had always been concerned about the fate of the empire were quite complaining, and the chief tax department of the customs and customs department who served the imperial government wrote in his memoirs: "According to the records of the Emperor's Machinery Department, in the first half of the fifteenth year of Guangxu, the grain prices of Shuntianfu, Daimyofu, and Xuanhua Mansion in Zhili Province were calculated on the basis of three kinds of grain, millet, sorghum, and corn, and the average silver was 124 yuan and 6 cents per warehouse stone. If the annual ration per person is calculated at two stones, it will be converted into two taels of silver. Emperor Guangxu's marriage cost 5.5 million taels of silver, and according to the price of grain at that time, he could buy nearly 4 million stone of grain, enough for 1.9 million people to eat for a year. ”

"At present, the Great Qian Empire is in the midst of many disasters of internal strife and external troubles, and natural disasters* are repeated, and such a lavish and extravagant emperor's wedding is held under this circumstance. In June of the 10th year of Guangxu, the Shandong River burst, destroying the embankments of Licheng, Qidong, Lijin and other dams, and a large area suffered serious floods, and the imperial government only allocated 160,000 taels of silver for disaster relief; In the eleventh year of Guangxu, the imperial government only ordered the allocation of 60,000 taels of silver for relief; In the twelfth year of Guangxu, the North Canal overflowed, causing disasters to the provinces of Yongping, and the imperial government only allocated 120,000 taels of silver for emergency relief; In the thirteenth year of Guangxu, the Zhengzhou River broke and entered Yuhuai in the south, causing a large area of Henan and Anhui to suffer, and the imperial government only withheld 300,000 taels of silver in Beijing. In the fourteenth year of Guangxu, due to the imminent marriage of the emperor, a large amount of money was needed, although there were many disasters such as water, fire, rain, hail, earthquake, and epidemic in this year, there was no record of allocating silver for disaster relief, but only exempting taxes and money and grain in some areas, and setting aside 130,000 stone Jingcang and seaborne rice for relief to the victims. This contrast shows that the Imperial Government spends very little on the much-needed needs of the people, while the wealth that is frantically extracted from the people is too great to measure. ”

The capital, the palace of the prince, the garden.

The light rain sank into the shallow grass, the moonlight was covered by thin clouds, and the light of the night moon filled the quiet air of the night, and the faint floating light dimly illuminated the small clear artificial lake in front of me.

As the rain stopped, Prince Jing raised his head, and let the wind blow off the cloak on his head and blow his clothes. The silver-white silk robe was scattered in the wind like a silver waterfall, pure white like the moonlight floating in the air, pale white, but faintly desolate with a trace of indescribable desolation.

Prince Jing raised his head. The twilight clouds settle in the vast sky, and the stars are faint and the moon is faint.

"Today shouldn't be a good day for stargazing, my lord." Qi Buchen in the shadow of the trees squinted his eyes and looked up at the misty sky at night, and his voice was like frost and ice.

Prince Jing's head lowered suddenly, and two sharp eyes shot straight at Qi Buchen by the lake: "It's Old Qi." ”

The two eyes in the darkness flashed in a flash.

"What's the matter?"
