Dajin royal family

Chapter 66
Recently, there was an interesting piece of gossip news in the aristocratic circle of Chang'an City. The emperor bestowed a marriage on the Duke of Langya County and the Changsun Mansion. This news was originally nothing, but the protagonist was very interesting.

Duke Langya was originally married to Duke Shunguo's mansion, and the young lady in Changsun's mansion was originally married to Duke Erlang of Bingguo.

All the noble children in the aristocratic circle knew that Li Erlang had a childhood sweetheart with the young lady in the Changsun's mansion, and also had a good chat with the eldest grandson Wuji.

And Duke Langya is also close friends with his "former" uncle Yu Chijing.

The emperor's decree of bestowing marriage ruined the two marriages at once.

Many noble children are looking forward to what it will be like when Duke Langya meets Li Erlang.

In October of the second year of Hongye, Jiang Chengxiao went to the Taimiao and crowned him.

During the crowning ceremony, the guests crowned three times in turn, that is, put on three hats in turn.First of all, a black cloth crown made of black linen is added, which means that he is qualified to participate in politics and can take on social responsibilities; this work was originally in charge of by King Zhao, but the emperor personally crowned Jiang Chengxiao.

The emperor is the king of a country, and it is reasonable and legal for him to add the first crown representing "participation in politics".

Then add a leather cap made of white deerskin, which is a military cap, indicating that he will serve in the military to defend the territory of the country; this time Zhao Wang did his part to add this crown to Jiang Chengxiao.

Finally, the plain crown with black and red is added, which is a popular top hat in ancient times, which means that you can participate in the sacrificial ceremony from now on.This item was blessed by the patriarch of the clan, Guanwang Jiangxiong.

The holders of these three crowns are all royal nobles, which is enough to show that the emperor attaches great importance to Jiang Chengxiao.

After the three coronations were completed, Dali Temple Minister Zheng Shanyuan, who was in charge of presiding over the coronation ceremony, officially began to read the congratulatory speech.Zheng Shanyuan is the well-known patriarch of the Zheng clan, minister of the Dali Temple, and grandfather of Jiang Chengxiao, so it is perfect for him to be in charge of the congratulatory speech.

Jiang Chengxiao has tied up his hair, wearing a silver crown, kneeling in front of the Taimiao, wearing a black boa robe.In front of him, Zheng Shanyuan was reciting the coronation speech clearly.On the two sides are Jiang Chengxiao's father, King Zhao, the emperor of concierge, Jiang Xiong, the king of Guan, and Sun Sheng, the magistrate of Dangkou County.

Zheng Shanyuan finished reading the congratulatory speech, stepped aside, and looked at the kneeling boy with complicated eyes.Originally, he wanted to use Zhao Rencheng's case to add Han Wang's rebellion, reminding the emperor that Zhao Wang and Shun Guogong should not be married, and then he asked Zhao Princess Zheng to come forward, marry a Zheng woman, and then marry Zhao Wang's mansion.

But he didn't expect that the emperor would actually give Jiang Chengxiao a marriage, which made him feel like his world was spinning.

Moreover, this time the emperor broke the marriage contract between the two families, it was definitely not as simple as a whim.One is to prevent Changsun Sheng from falling to the nobles in Guanzhong, and the other is to prevent King Zhao from becoming the second "King of Han".

Zheng Shanyuan sighed silently in his heart, he shouldn't underestimate the emperor.

After the congratulations were read, King Zhao and Changsun Sheng walked up to Jiang Chengxiao, and they helped Jiang Chengxiao up at the same time.

Changsun Sheng's complexion was rather complicated. His ideal son-in-law should be Bing Guogong Erlang, that child was extremely intelligent, he liked it very much, and his own daughter was also his childhood sweetheart.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no way to recover.

Changsun Sheng took the dagger from the servant's plate, bent down, and tied the dagger around Jiang Chengxiao's waist.

He supported Jiang Chengxiao's shoulder with one hand, looked at this handsome "adult", and said kindly: "Now that you have reached the crown, I will give you a sharp sword, expand the territory outside, punish the country's thieves inside, be loyal and protect the Jin family."

This Jin family means the royal Jiang family.The etiquette of the Jin Dynasty did not inherit the two short-lived dynasties of the East and the West and the Wei Dynasty, but for the sake of orthodoxy, all inherited the Han Dynasty.

Originally, "Bie Sword" should be completed by Zhao Wang, but now he is about to become Jiang Chengxiao's father-in-law, so Zhao Wang specially invited him here in order to get closer to the two families.

Changsun Sheng also understood the meaning of the emperor's offer of marriage, so he did not refuse.

King Zhao put one hand on Jiang Chengxiao's shoulder, feeling a lot of emotion. He once thought that this sick son might not be able to reach adulthood, but he did not expect him to hold on, and he became more and more healthy.

"My father gave you a name, Xiao. This is my father's fault. My father couldn't forget the death of your biological mother and blamed you. Now, my father named you Qingque. I hope you will make a name for yourself in the future." .”

After speaking, he took out the bamboo slips of "The Analects of Confucius" from the servant's serving plate and lifted it above his head.And Jiang Chengxiao also raised his hands, taking over the "Analects of Confucius".

"Since you have been crowned, I will bestow you with grammar, be filial to your father, and lead the people below, and the sky will shine brightly. Don't be tired."

Jiang Chengxiao held the bamboo slips in his hand, knelt down slowly, and said loudly: "Son, I will always remember that for the king and the country, there is no double heart!"

The patriarch of the clan, the watch king Jiang Xiong shouted in a deep voice: "Certificate! Congratulations to my family, proud son Qingque!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

The Jinwu Guard in front of the Taimiao raised his halberd at the same time, stomped the ground three times with his feet, and sounded three strikes.

Jiang Chengxiao got up and looked back, holding the book in one hand and holding the sword in the other, looking calmly into the distance.

Qingque... Hehe, he has changed from a bad bird to a good bird.

However, he is not a good bird.

The news that the emperor personally held the crown ceremony for Jiang Chengxiao concealed the news that he was about to get married in late October.

Generally speaking, the Crown Ceremony only needs to be held at home. Although Jiang Chengxiao belongs to the clan, he is not qualified to hold the Crown Ceremony at the Taimiao.

And the emperor specially allowed him to hold the coronation ceremony in front of the Taimiao, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was the emperor's attention and favor to Zhao Wangfu.

But Zhao Wang understood that this was the emperor's compensation to their family and comforted them.

Three days later.

The sound of horseshoes sounded, Jiang Chengxiao galloped his horse, and the pedestrians on Zhuque Street in Chang'an City hurriedly gave way.

After rushing out of the gate of Chang'an, Jiang Chengxiao galloped towards Dalin Temple. An hour later, he arrived at Dalin Temple, and walked into the side courtyard of Guanyin Temple with ease.

Under the bodhi tree, the graceful figure of the beautiful woman came into view.

Jiang Chengxiao couldn't help the tip of his nose sore, he admitted that he liked this woman.This woman he could talk to, this shy woman, this woman who sewed sachets for him.

"Blazing."

He walked behind Yuchi Chifan, and lightly placed his palm on her fragrant shoulder.

Yuchi Chifan turned around slowly, revealing a haggard face.This time she didn't wear a veil hat, and her alluring face was unreservedly exposed to Jiang Chengxiao's eyes.

Yuchi Chifan smiled bleakly, his eyes drooped, "Congratulations on your crowning son."

A feeling of colic spread throughout the internal organs, it felt like the chest was suddenly empty.If there was no such thing, he would definitely accept it with a smile, but now, he knows the pain in Yuchi Chifan's heart.

"Chi Fan, can you listen to me first?" He said softly.

Yuchi Chifan turned around, she didn't know how to face Jiang Chengxiao.

Jiang Chengxiao took two steps forward, stood side by side with her, looked at the fallen bodhi leaves, and said slowly: "I thought about a lot of things in the rain that day, and I read your letter countless times at night, but in the end, I can only Live up to your affection."

He did think of many ways, but they were all useless. If the emperor offered a marriage, if he refused, the consequences would be disastrous.

Because this marriage has a strong political purpose of the emperor, and it will not be changed by anyone's will.

Just as he couldn't refuse to go to Qi County to announce the decree that day, he also couldn't refuse to marry a woman he didn't know this time.

"Thousands of words can't express how guilty I feel towards you..."

"do not talk."

Yuchi Chifan interrupted, and said in a trembling voice: "This is the end of the matter, you and I have nothing to do with each other, we can't say much when we meet in the future. My son, please take care of yourself and serve the country."

"You and I, after all, a big dream."

Jiang Chengxiao's eyes tightened, he turned around suddenly, put his hands on her shoulders, looked directly at her, and said, "Will you wait for me?"

Yuchi Chifan's delicate body trembled, and he looked at him incredulously, "What do you mean?"
