Chapter 208 Shanda

The wedding team is marching.

Ji Chengjue sits high on a white horse with a reserved smile on his face, but what he reveals is a kind of true confidence and magnanimity.

It’s been a long, long time,

It’s really been a long, long time,

Obviously I am a prince,

But in front of outsiders, I have forgotten When was the last time I acted like this?

People are naturally happy when happy events happen. Perhaps the only regret now is that the person named Zheng is not here now. Otherwise, if he was riding a horse beside him as his best man, he would be here today. It is truly complete.

It’s a pity that Zheng didn’t get to see his high-spirited side today.

The team passed the front street and soon met another team. This was a team composed of floats. The so-called floats were not the ones with wheels, but floats made of floats. More than a dozen to nearly a hundred laborers were carrying it below. Above was a platform, and the surrounding areas of the platform were decorated extremely delicately.

On each float,

there may be young women dancing gracefully,

or there may be veiled girls showing off their singing voices,

or There are people reciting the harp, or there are pipas playing.

There are fair-skinned male servants reciting poems and composing poems that are even more prettier than that woman.

There are also warblers and swallows in skirts. Their graceful poses brought out bursts of fragrant wind;

Their appearance attracted the attention of several nearby streets, and crowds of people kept coming here.

When the wedding team came over,

The float took the initiative to retreat.

When Ji Chengjue rode over,

Listen What came was a song that was extremely respectful:

"Xunfang Pavilion is here to wish the host a happy marriage!"

"Michun Garden is here to wish the host a happy marriage for a hundred years!"

"Xi Lan Pavilion is here to wish my boss a baby soon!"

"Fuliutai is here to wish my boss happiness and happiness!"

"Cowherd Pavilion is here I wish my boss peace and harmony!”

Ji Chengjue just smiled and waved in response.

Yanjing is a good place. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous place with the deepest cultural heritage in the whole of Great Yan. Even if it is not as good as Qianguo Jiangnan, where the peach rains are coming, it is a paradise on earth, but those who want to have fun can There are definitely not a few things that can be played with.

Today,

all the famous flower places in Yanjing City sent their top oirans to the stage.

You know, with them on weekdays, even if you have a lot of money, you have to look at your luck if you want to see one of them, but today, they all appear like street performers. I am here just to attract attention, just to give the current sixth prince and their boss a boost of momentum on their wedding day!

With their appearance, they quickly attracted great popularity, and most of the people in Yanjing City began to gather here.

This is very realistic

The officials at that time chose to take an indifferent attitude towards the wedding of the sixth prince, because they would probably have to eat from the prince in the future.

But these brothel places are extremely enthusiastic. The reason is very simple. They are now eating the food of the Sixth Prince!

"Big man, why did you put this banner away again?"

The sword maid sitting on Fan Li's shoulder asked.

"There's no need to worry." Fan Li replied.

"Who told you to hang up? My lord?"

"Yes, my lord originally told me to hang up at the wedding of the sixth prince, but now I feel that there is no need to hang up." ."

Why don't you hang it?

Because the banner is embroidered with: All the girls of the A-brand brand wish His Highness the Sixth Prince a happy wedding!

However, after seeing such a scene, even Fan Li felt that there was no need to hang this banner.

My lord, it’s not that I don’t listen to you and do things, it’s that I don’t care about this at all, because I am the biggest madam in the capital.

......

"Absurd!"

On the south wall of the palace, Emperor Yan stood there, listening to the narratives of groups of eunuchs coming over. After hearing this, I uttered these two words directly.

The dignified Prince Yan is actually in charge of this business. If word spreads about it, won’t he be laughed at?

However, the effect was extremely clear. Standing on the city wall at this time, Emperor Yan could clearly see that on the streets where he looked, the flow of people began to flow towards the wedding procession.

It’s a big wedding. If you want to support this scene, how can you do it without anyone?

Wei Zhonghe was beside him, bent over and trembling.

This kind of thing, even a eunuch like him, finds it incredible. The most important thing is that the Secret Service failed to find out this relationship. It seems that this business is not directly handled by the Sixth Prince. Instead, he chooses someone to be the boss and hides himself behind the scenes.

At the same time, the bosses on the surface are also the fronts of various powerful people. This is equivalent to another layer of obstruction, making people mistakenly think that they are the properties of powerful people.

At this thought, Wei Zhonghe swallowed subconsciously. Although there are not many powerful people who are willing to come forward to do this kind of business, because the real powerful people want to save face, this is enough to show that secretly, The Sixth Prince had already weaved a web, but he was not aware of the existence of this web?

Looking at His Majesty’s reaction, it seemed as if he didn’t know anything beforehand.

It seems that my colleague did not make any omissions during the investigation.

But after being angry,

Yan Huang’s anger was once again transferred to Hubu,

“Those guys in Hubu are just drunkards!”

Wei Zhonghe breathed a long sigh of relief. Yes, he failed to find out because His Majesty did not explicitly ask him to conduct a thorough investigation. Although he paid more attention to it on weekdays, he couldn't find it.The degree is different after all.

But at the beginning, His Majesty specifically ordered the Ministry of Revenue to take over the property in the hands of His Highness Sixth Prince.

So,

those officials in the Ministry of Revenue who were sitting on a plain diet, Are all the things in your mind really filled with greasy roast duck?

Even the Quandelou Roast Duck Restaurant,

the revenue has dropped by 50% since the Household Department took over!

......

A number of floats carrying courtesans attracted a lot of attention, and because these floats followed the wedding procession, wherever the wedding procession passed, there was even more crowds of people. .

As soon as the team entered Baihua Street,

a chorus of shouts came:

"Zhao Sihai, the shopkeeper of Nanwang Trading Company, congratulates the young master, get up!"< /p>

"Get up!"

"Get up!"

"Get up!"

On the street, a group of people wearing red silk appeared The men carried heavy baskets in their hands, full of copper coins and broken silver.

Along with the word "qi" one after another,

Money began to rain on the street.

This is a serious rain of money, a real rain of money. Normally nobles will throw wedding money on their way to a wedding, but that is just to seek good luck. Usually, children are rushing to get there. If you go to the ground to pick it up, adults are too embarrassed to bend down because there are so few.

But it turns out that reserve and face, these things are only available before the money is enough;

Once the money is enough, these things have long been thrown away in Java.

Money was pouring down,

The people fell into madness, and the atmosphere was directly exploded.

The young and old men and women in Yanjing City are quite interesting. It is true that they picked up your money, but the good luck words have not been lost.

The wedding of His Highness the Sixth is auspicious, and the good fortune and longevity of His Highness the Sixth Highness are soaring.

It is no exaggeration to say that

Even when Emperor Yan came out of the palace, the people were not so noisy and lively!

When some elderly people in Yanjing City saw this scene, they couldn't help but think of those days.

Back then,

it was also the prince’s wedding, and

there was exactly the same scene.

The exquisite thirty-two sedan chairs,

the rain of money falling all over the sky,

the shocking luxury,

This scene,

had appeared in Yanjing City before, and today, it happened again.

It’s just that,

The prince who rode the white horse in the past is now the supreme king of the Nine Five Years, destroying countries and opening up frontiers, and can be called a hero;

And the beautiful woman who got married in a sedan chair has been dead for many years, and even her tomb can’t be found;

The one who organized the most extravagant wedding in the history of Yan Dynasty The Min family was annihilated in the past earlier than the rest of the world.

Every business house,

one by one, the shopkeepers,

keep singing their names,

Some of them are in Yanjing City. , but many of them came all the way back from outside just to attend the wedding of their boss, their young master.

For those shopkeepers who were personally supported by Ji Chengjue, today is their glorious day;

And for those remaining old bosses of the Min family, today is, It is their reminiscence of the past, the lintel of the Min family when the Eastern merchants extended their tentacles to the West.

Children’s carnival, middle-aged people letting go of their reserve, old people remembering the past because they couldn’t squeeze in,

Scenes and scenes are destined to be destroyed by Yanjing City again. People will remember it for another twenty or thirty years!

Among the noisy and enthusiastic crowd at this time, there was a father and son with red eyes, who were destined not to attract anyone's attention.

Ji Chengjue’s eyes couldn’t help but look at the palace again.

The distance was too far,

so it was impossible for him to see the palace. The figure standing on the city now,

but there seems to be a feeling in the dark.

What you can see,

What you can see,

You have seen it.

I can make money, I can manage, I can make the Min family's industry continue to be glorious, I can make money skillfully;

Today,

I will My trump card is revealed,

It’s just to show you, you have to show it to me properly, father!

Don’t you want to sweep the world and replace Xia with Yan?

Don’t you want to expand your territory and become an emperor through the ages?

I can give you financial and food support, I can manage it for you, I can maintain it for you, and I can help you realize your long-cherished wish.

Of course you can suppress me as before, deprive me of everything, and punish those who are related to me,

But are you willing?

......

Wei Zhonghe saw that His Majesty was silent.

As a slave,

he did not dare to try to guess the emperor's thoughts at this time.

Is His Majesty angry?

Angry that your son has concealed it from you for so many years?

Or,

Today’s seemingly familiar scene,

made His Majesty think of the woman from back then?

The woman who, as soon as she entered the palace, made two sets of new clothes and gave a salary to all the servants in the palace?

Wei Zhonghe still remembers the scene when he took the red seal from the woman when he was just a young eunuch in the palace. At that time, he only felt that the red seal in his hand was very heavy. .

"Your name is Wei Zhonghe?"

"Yes, slaveHis nickname is Wei Zhonghe. ”

“Do you have a family? "

"The slave is an orphan. "

"That's really a pity. They can't even give your family money to win you over.

How about you hurry up and adopt a godson? My father told me that money that cannot be spent is just like a rock on a mountain. "

"Master..."

"What's wrong? ”

“I am still serving as my godson to Eunuch Sun.” ”

“Sure, tell me when you are ready to take in your godson, and I will help you buy a house. You will be His Highness’s personal companion. Don't be embarrassed. Oh, tell me, my bribery is too obvious and makes it difficult for you? "

"Master..."

"It's okay, you can tell me secretly next time, and you have to be more angry. It's boring to always be someone else's godson. ”

I don’t know why,

Wei Zhonghe suddenly had a picture of the old master of the Min family marrying into the palace.

Now,

He has countless godsons, not to mention his godsons. When the young eunuch in the palace saw him, I still have to call my ancestors.

But the master of the Min family,

can no longer see his majesty today.

Suddenly. p>

Wei Zhonghe's heart trembled, and he began to recite the Qi-refining formula silently quickly, forcibly suppressing these external thoughts in his body.

Then,

he looked up with some fear, and found out. When His Majesty was still silent with his back to him, Wei Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief.

Some people and some things,

The master can nostalgic, can remember, can. To be sentimental,

But as long as they are slaves, if they dare to show the slightest hint, they will be truly doomed!

…

The wedding procession passed through Baihua Street! , arrived at the entrance of Lu Mansion.

The door of Lu Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations.

At the same time, all the men, women and children of the Lu family were standing outside, waiting for the team. .

Not long after the news of the arrival of the wedding team came in, the old lady in official uniform walked out with her left hand on a crutch and her right hand supported by a maid.

Ji Chengjue, who was sitting on the horse, quickly turned over and dismounted,

walked to the old lady and knelt down:

"Grandma, my grandson got married today. "

The old lady reached out and touched Ji Chengjue's face and said:

"Xiao Liuzi, after we get married, we will really become adults. When you become an adult, you have to stand upright, and you can no longer live without integrity. ”

“Thank you grandma for your teaching, my grandson will remember it.” ”

At this moment, Lu Bing, who was standing on the steps at the door, spoke.Said;

"It is not that easy to marry my daughter."

As soon as he finished speaking,

a group of Lu family disciples, including couplets, lantern riddles, Waiting for everything is laid out. When a commoner family gets married, they may drink and play tricks to make things difficult for the groom, but a wealthy family must pay more attention to elegance.

Lu Bing pointed at these things behind him and said with a smile:

"If you can't finish the answer, you won't be able to enter my Lu family."

Ji Cheng Jue nodded, with a smile on his face as well.

After a while,

A group of young officials from various ministries and sects wearing official robes who had just taken leave came out. They were all Jinshi selected by the Imperial Examination of the Yan State. Talent.

For a while, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.

Because the previous bustle was forced by the store owners, and no official figures appeared.

But now, the appearance of these people indicates that an unusual atmosphere has been revealed.

Even Lu Bing’s eyes narrowed slightly.

In fact, the big guys in the court have noticed some things through the downfall of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. However, because the imperial examination is a national policy decreed by His Majesty to be passed down from generation to generation, no one really dares to say that these numbers are not the same. Many officials with Jinshi background went to investigate.

But today, there is no need to investigate, because they have already taken the initiative to come out on their own.

Dozens of young officials bowed down and bowed to Ji Chengjue:

"We wish our benefactor a happy marriage and a son!"

Ji Chengjue Jue waved his hand impatiently,

pointed to the front,

and said:

"Stop dawdling, answer the questions first!"

…

Wei Zhonghe’s breathing slowed down a lot at this time.

Jinshi,

Disciples of the Emperor,

Dare to appear in unison and call a prince benefactor in public, what does this mean? What does it mean!

Wei Zhonghe knew that the nature of the matter had changed.

What His Highness the Sixth Prince has shown now is no longer just a matter of good business ethics, but a clear and honest message to the world that he, Ji Chengjue, is cultivating his trusted ministers and supporting his ministers. His own wings,

He,

want to seize the direct descendant!

Because originally only the East Palace could do these things legitimately. Even if the other princes wanted to secretly hook up with some ministers, they could only do it secretly. How could it be so straightforward?

Wei Zhonghe carefully looked at Emperor Yan again.

He found that Emperor Yan’s palms were trembling slightly.

At this time, Emperor Yan,

his eyes dimmed,

wave after wave of eunuchs kept running back and forth, narrating the scene that was happening at the wedding scene. One scene.

It’s like a fateful reincarnation repeating itself today.

Back then, he had personally experienced the terrifying financial resources of his father-in-law, the Min family.

They use silver to pave roads, use silver to connect people, and use silver to support officials. Silver is like water from a river flooding up, filling all the gaps in the ground beneath their feet.

It’s just that,

A repeat is a repeat,

A reincarnation is a reincarnation,

But the pressure and depth of the past are gone. .

It’s not because he is already the Nine-Five Supreme and has centralized power.

But because,

the host of that big wedding,

has changed from the ambitious old head of the Min family,

Became his own son.

While Wei Zhonghe who was beside him was still cautiously waiting for His Majesty's rage,

he suddenly heard laughter and curses from His Majesty:

"Oh, This little beast."
