The devil is coming

Chapter 400 Grand
The wedding team is marching.
Ji Chengjue sat high on the white horse with a reserved smile on his face, but what he exuded was a kind of true confidence and magnanimity.
It’s been a long, long time,
It’s been a really long time,
He is obviously a prince,
But in front of outsiders, I have forgotten 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 and being his best man, today would be 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, which was a team composed of floats. The so-called floats were not the ones with wheels, but ranged from more than ten to nearly a hundred. A lot of effort was carried below, and there was a platform above. The surrounding areas of the platform were decorated extremely delicately.
On each float,
Or there are young women dancing gracefully,
Maybe a veiled girl shows off her singing voice,
There may be music playing the harp and chanting, or there may be the pipa playing.
There may be a fair-skinned boy who recites poems and composes poems and is more beautiful than that woman.
Or the fluttering skirts of warblers and swallows lead to the bursts of fragrant wind;
Their appearance attracted the attention of several nearby streets, and crowds of people continued to flock here.
When the wedding team arrives,
The float took the initiative to retreat,
When Ji Chengjue rode over,
What I heard was a voice singing with great respect:
"Xunfang Pavilion would like to wish my host a happy wedding!"
"Meichunyuan hereby wishes my employer a hundred years of happy marriage!"
"Xilanting wishes my boss a happy son soon!"
"Fuliutai would like to wish my boss happiness!"
"The Cowherd House would like to wish my boss a happy and happy life!"
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 country of Yan. Even if it is not as good as Qianguo Jiangnan and the paradise on earth, it can be played by those who want to play and can play. Things must be numerous.
today,
All famous places of flowers and willows 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 look like street performers, appearing here just to attract people. The eyes are just to give the current six princes and their boss a boost of momentum on their wedding day!
With their appearance, it quickly attracted great popularity, and most of the people in Yanjing City began to gather here.
This is a very realistic thing,
The officials of the current dynasty chose an indifferent attitude towards the sixth prince's wedding, 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? Lord?"
"Yes, the Lord originally asked me to hang up during the sixth prince's wedding, but now I feel that there is no need to hang up."
Why don't you hang it?
Because what is embroidered on the banner is: All the girls from Yihongyuan’s brand A wish His Highness the Sixth Happy Marriage!
However, after seeing such a scene, even Fan Li felt that there was no need to hang the banner.
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 narrations of groups of eunuchs coming over. After hearing this, he uttered these two words directly.
The dignified Prince Yan is actually in charge of this kind of business. If word spreads, 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, there is no one, how can you do it?
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 handled directly by the Sixth Prince, but by choosing someone to be the boss. , hiding himself behind the scenes.
At the same time, the bosses on the surface are all the fronts of the powerful families. This is equivalent to another layer of cover, making people mistakenly think that they are the properties of the powerful families.
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 have face, this is enough to show that secretly, the Sixth Prince has woven a story. Setting up a net, but you are not aware of the existence of this net?
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 the anger,
Emperor Yan's anger was once again directed towards the Ministry of Household Affairs.
"The gang of Tobe's drunkards and ricebags!"
Wei Zhonghe breathed a long sigh of relief. Yes, he could not find out because His Majesty did not explicitly ask him to conduct a thorough investigation. Although he paid more attention to it on weekdays, the intensity was different after all.
But His Majesty had specifically ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to take over the property in the hands of His Highness Sixth Prince.
Therefore,
Do the officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs really only have fat roast duck in their minds?
It’s Quandelou Roast Duck Restaurant.
After the Ministry of Accounts took over, the income has dropped by [-]%!
……
A group of floats carrying oirans attracted a lot of attention, and because these floats followed the wedding procession, there was even more crowds wherever the wedding procession passed.
The team has just entered Baihua Street.
A chorus of shouts came:
"Zhao Sihai, the shopkeeper of Nanwang Trading Company, congratulates the young master, get up!"
"rise!"
"rise!"
"rise!"
On the street, a group of men wearing red silk appeared, carrying heavy baskets in their hands full of copper coins and broken silver.
Accompanied by the word "qi" one after another,
On the street, money began to rain.
This is a serious rain of money, a rain of real money. Normally nobles will throw wedding money on their way to a wedding, but it is just for good luck. Usually, children rush to the ground to pick it up. Adults They are too embarrassed to bend down, because after all, they are few.
But it turns out that reserve and face are things you can only have before you don’t have enough money;
Once the money is enough, these things will have been thrown away to Java.
Money is falling in torrents,
The people fell into madness, and the atmosphere was directly exploded.
The young and old men and women in Yanjing City are also very interesting. It is true that they picked up your money, but the auspicious words are not lost.
The wedding of His Highness the Sixth Prince is auspicious, and the good fortune and longevity of His Highness the Sixth Highness are soaring.
said with no exaggeration,
Even when Emperor Yan came out of the palace, the people were shouting for longevity, and there was no such hustle and bustle!
When the elderly people in Yanjing City saw this scene, they couldn't help but think of those days.
then,
It's also the prince's wedding.
There was an exact same scene once.
The exquisite 32-carriage sedan chair,
The money raining down all over the sky,
That shocking luxury,
This scene,
It had appeared in Yanjing City before, and today, it happened again.
only,
The prince who rode the white horse in the past is now the Nine-Five Supreme Being, capable of destroying countries and opening up frontiers, and can be called a hero;
And the beautiful woman who got married in a sedan chair has already been dead for many years, and even her tomb can’t be found;
The Min family, which had organized the most extravagant wedding in the history of the Yan Dynasty, disappeared into the past earlier than other aristocratic families.
Every business house,
Shopkeepers one by one,
Keep singing and drinking your name,
Some of them were 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;
For the remaining old leaders of the Min family, today is their reminiscence of the past, the lintel of the Min family where merchants from the East 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 remembered by the people of Yanjing City for another 30 or [-] years!
And 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 gaze,
I couldn't help but look at the palace again,
distance is too far,
Therefore, it is impossible for him to see the figure standing on the imperial city now.
But somewhere, there seemed to be a feeling.
What you can see,
What you can see,
You saw it.
I can make money, I can manage, I can make the Min family's industry continue to be glorious, I can make money with skill;
today,
I revealed my trump card,
Just to show you, you have to show me well, father!
Don’t you want to sweep away 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 things for you, I can maintain things for you, and I can help you realize your long-cherished wish.
Of course you can continue to suppress me as you did before, strip me of everything, and punish those who are related to me.
But are you willing?
Are you willing to give up your long-cherished wish and your ambitious hegemony, and just go to waste?
……
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.
Your Majesty is angry?
Are you angry that your son has hidden it from you for so many years?
or,
A scene that seems familiar today,
Does it remind His Majesty of that woman from back then?
That 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 remembered the scene when he took the red envelope from the woman when he was just a young eunuch in the palace. At that time, he only felt that the red envelope in his hand was very heavy.
"Your name is Wei Zhonghe?"
"Yes, my slave's name 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 over you.
Otherwise, you should hurry up and accept a godson. My father once told me that money left in your hands and not spent can be no different than rocks on the mountain. "
"master……"
"what happened?"
"I am still serving as my godson to Eunuch Sun."
"Okay, then tell me when you are ready to take in your godson, and I will help you buy a house. You are His Highness's personal companion. I want to bribe you well. Don't be embarrassed. Oh, you say , Is my bribery too obvious and embarrassing for you?"
"master……"
"It's okay. You can tell me secretly next time. You have to be more angry. It's boring to be someone's godson all the time."
somehow,
Wei Zhonghe suddenly had a picture in his mind of the former master of the Min family marrying into the palace.
now,
He, Wei Zhonghe, was in charge of the secret espionage department as the chief ceremonial officer of the Imperial Palace of Great Yan;
He has countless godsons, not to mention godsons, and the little eunuch in the palace has to call him "ancestor" when he sees him.
But the master of the Min family,
But he can no longer see his majesty today.
Suddenly,
Wei Zhonghe's heart trembled, and he began to recite the Qi-refining formula silently quickly, forcibly suppressing these external thoughts in his body.
immediately,
Wei Zhonghe looked up with some fear and found that His Majesty was still silent with his back to him, Wei Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief.
Some people, some things,
The master can be nostalgic, nostalgic, sentimental,
But if they, the slaves, dare to reveal even the slightest bit, they are truly doomed!
...
The wedding team passed Baihua Street and arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion.
The entrance of the Lu Mansion has been carefully decorated with lights and colors.
At the same time, all the men, women, and children of the Lu family stood 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, leaning on a crutch with her left hand and supported by a maid in her right hand.
Ji Chengjue, who was sitting on the horse, quickly turned over and dismounted.
Go to the old lady and kneel down:
"Grandma, my grandson is getting married today."
The old lady reached out and touched Ji Chengjue's face and said:
"Xiao Liuzi, after you get married, you will really become an adult. You have to stand upright and you can't lose your 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, said;
"It's not that easy to marry my daughter."
His voice just fell,
A group of children of the Lu family laid out couplets, lantern riddles, etc. When a commoner family holds a wedding, 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 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 Chengjue nodded, with a smile on his face as well.
for a while,
A group of young officials in official robes who had just taken leave from various ministries and sects came out. They were all Jinshi talents selected by the Imperial Examination of the Great Yan Kingdom.
For a moment, the originally noisy scene suddenly became quiet.
Because the previous bustle was forced by the shopkeepers of the trading houses, 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 had already noticed some of these things through the downfall of the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. However, because the imperial examination is a national policy decreed by His Majesty to be handed down from generation to generation, no one really dared to take action against these officials who were not yet in large numbers. Go 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 and bowed to Ji Chengjue:
"We wish our benefactor a happy marriage and a happy son!"
Ji Chengjue waved his hand impatiently,
Pointing to the front,
Road:
"Stop dawdling, go answer the questions first!"
...
Wei Zhonghe's breathing slowed down a lot at this time.
Jinshi and the rank,
disciple of the emperor,
They actually dare to appear in unison and call a prince benefactor in front of everyone. What does this mean? What does this 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 own wings.
he,
Want to seize the direct descendant!
Because originally only the Eastern 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 darkened slightly,
Wave after wave of eunuchs kept running back and forth, describing the scenes that were happening at the wedding scene.
It's like a fateful reincarnation is happening again today.
He was then,
I have personally experienced the terrifying financial resources of my father-in-law and the Min family.
They use money to pave roads, use money to connect people, and use money to support officials. Silver is like water from a river flooding up, filling all the gaps in the ground beneath their feet.
only,
A reenactment is a reenactment,
Reincarnation is reincarnation,
But the pressure and depth of the past are gone.
It's not because he is already the Ninth Five Supreme Being and has centralized power.
But because,
The host of that big wedding,
From the ambitious old head of the Min family,
Became his own son.
Wei Zhonghe, who was beside him, was still cautiously waiting for His Majesty's rage.
But suddenly I heard laughter and scolding from His Majesty:
"Oh, this little beast."
