Chapter 373 Empress Wu has done all kinds of bad things!

"I'm finally getting married!"

In the back house of Zheng's mansion, Miss Zheng stood in front of the mirror, dressed happily in the bride's big green dress under the service of many maidservants.

A complete set of long-sleeved jumpsuits, except for the plain yarn one-piece underwear and the knee covering around the abdomen, from the long-sleeved outer gown, to the size of the belt, to the socks and shoes, are all dark blue.

Wait until you get dressed, and accessories.

When a commoner girl or a businessman girl gets married, she can wear a pair of "bo temples" covering her ears, and then insert some gold and silver miscellaneous treasures, flower hairpins and hairpins. Miss Zheng is now the prime minister's daughter, and she uses Fengguanxiapei .

Phoenix crowns include phoenix crowns, phoenix hairpins, and gold hairpins, which are extremely gorgeous.

Xiapei includes Xiapei, pendants, and fishing rings, like shawls hanging on clothes, dignified and atmospheric.

This set of ornaments can be worn by queens, concubines and officials' wives. In later dynasties, materials, patterns, colors, and sideburns were also different according to their status. The Tang Dynasty did not divide it so finely, and made it in a beautiful direction. That is.

Mother Zheng came behind and looked at her daughter with tears in her eyes: "Son, you go to your husband's house to live a good life."

Although so many things have happened, Mrs. Zheng still likes this family very much: "Your Majesty, in fact, according to the status of my family, I can let Fulang come to Zheng's residence."

Mother Zheng sobbed a few times, and repeated: "Son, you go to your husband's house to live a good life."

In the Tang Dynasty, there was a very common phenomenon that if the woman’s family was more powerful than the man’s family at the time of marriage, or the man’s family was not in the place of marriage, the wedding could be held at the woman’s home throughout the whole process. Live in a woman's home.

Everyone is accustomed to this, and the groom will not be regarded as a door-to-door son-in-law and be looked down upon by others.

With Zheng Rentong's current status, the children of the Li family in Zhaojun are highly regarded, but Zheng Rentong is very humble, saying that he would let his daughter follow his son-in-law to live with him, believing that he will not treat her badly.

Just when Mrs. Zheng was trying to stay at home, the groom, Li Langjun, was worshiping his ancestors at home and notifying everyone in the sky that he was going to lead someone home. After a set of etiquette was completed, the clan elder smiled and said, "Go to welcome your wife, Honor the ancestral temple!"

"We dare not resign."

The bridegroom stood up, wearing a royal uniform, a black tasseled crown, a blue robe, an orange-red lower garment, a white gauze inner garment, a black belt, white socks and red shoes.

This suit began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and it was discarded after the Song Dynasty. It is a relatively retro wedding dress. When Shandong gentry get married, they like to wear this suit the most.

In the Tang Dynasty, the common people married and usually wore crimson official clothes, that is, red gauze single clothes, white skirts and black boots, which are closer to the big red wedding clothes of later generations.

At the wedding, men wear crimson and women wear green, which is said to be the origin of the term red men and dolls.

The bridegroom went out, got on a tall horse, held a wild goose in his arms, brought a bridesmaid and a decorated wedding float, followed by hundreds of good-looking gentlemen, all the way to Zheng's mansion.

Although there were no gongs or drums, the crowds along the way followed and watched, and some even recognized Li Qiao: "Isn't that Li Shaofu?"

The well-informed smiled and said: "You can't be called Shaofu, you have been promoted, and now you are a general manager."

As expected of the people in the capital, someone immediately enviously said: "That is the deputy prime minister of the Ministry of Education, good official, good official! Let's go, be happy!"

Li Qiao was originally a county captain in Chang'an, and he was assigned to Cao Hu. Now he has been promoted from the sixth rank to the general manager Sheren, and is the deputy of Zhongshu Shilang. It is indeed a great progress in his career. This wedding is one of the best. Being a best man with this status is actually condescending, but he was beaming all the way, constantly clasping his fists to the surroundings, happier than when he got married.

When the Li family of Zhao County entrusted a matchmaker to go to the Nacai family of the Zheng family, they actually had some concerns. After all, Miss Zheng was a tough character who dared to tear up the marriage certificate when she encountered a prodigal son. One side is dissatisfied, and it flares up again, which really doesn't end well.

But now that Zheng Rentong has entered the cabinet, he seems to be the head of the Shandong gentry, and this marriage was decided too well.

Both sides are very happy, naturally beaming.

Since it officially started in the evening, it was already dark in front of the Zheng residence.

This is also normal. Most of the ancients got married at dusk. The word "marriage" in marriage means dusk. The Tang Dynasty's "Ritual Notes" said, "The ceremony for a scholar to marry a wife lasts in the evening, so it is named Yan. .”

And the gate of Zheng's mansion was closed tightly, and the sister-in-law and the bridesmaid from the bride's house were waiting in strict battle inside the gate.

Hearing the commotion outside, the guests also came to the hall one after another, watching with smiles.

Zheng Rentong is located in the middle, feeling very relieved.

I finally went out without worrying about one, thank God.

Actually the other ran too.

After learning that Zheng Rentong was promoted, entered the cabinet as a minister, and was appointed as a minister of the auxiliary government, Zheng Hui quickly went through the formalities, and took Yan Niangzi to Jiangnan to take up the post.

Nadu, the prime minister's son, knows that his wife is a concubine, and it won't be long before he becomes the headline in the capital. The literati don't know how many stories they have to make up. It's not about breaking a leg.

So Zheng Hui had to run away immediately. Communication was underdeveloped in ancient times. As long as he didn't lose face under his nose, even if he was out of sight and out of mind, there were not many people staring at him.

After all, taking a concubine is not about marrying a wife. If Zheng Hui dares to marry the humble lady Yan as his wife, it will be a violation of the law. The government will intervene and sentence Zheng Hui to lose his official position and punish him with two years of hard labor. Lady Yan will be sent back to her original class. , do not enjoy the treatment of the main wife, good and bad are clearly distinguished, and cannot be crossed.

Now that the matter was finally over, Li Yan stood by as a guest, seeing the old man's expression, he knew what he was thinking, and couldn't help laughing secretly.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Rentong turned around: "Yuan Fang, you are also approaching the age of the weak crown, do you have to take care of this marriage?"

Li Yan's smile faltered slightly: "Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your concern. My grandparents are worrying about this matter... Your Majesty intends to go to the Eastern Capital again, what does Mr. Zheng think?"

Zheng Ren said: "Luoyang is the middle of the sky, and it extends in all directions, connecting the four famous towns in the country. There are various government affairs that have not been completed before. The old man naturally agrees. What about Li Ge?"

The big bosses need to communicate first, and then implement it later. Li Yan said bluntly: "The best way is definitely to regulate and balance the two capitals, but that can't be realized for the time being. I agree to focus on Luoyang. Now the people in the pass It’s still hard, and they shouldn’t be burdened any more.”

Zheng Rentong was very pleased: "What Li Geling said is very true."

For the Shandong gentry, staying in Chang'an, it is impossible for the gentry in the pass to be suppressed, and those people must be the main ones. Only in Luoyang, the talented people from all sides can better have their own voice in the court , I am naturally happy to have Li Yan as a key ally.

But after being happy, he changed the topic back: "Although the old man is not blessed, my daughter of the Zheng family is virtuous and virtuous, with a strict family style, so she can be a good match. Yuan Fang may wish to consider it."

Li Yan thought of his headache for Mrs. Zheng, and wondered if you didn't blush when you said this, but he also knew that the housekeeper of the five surnames was really good, so he could only say: "To tell the truth, Uncle Zheng, there are some twists and turns in the palace, I'm afraid involved."

Zheng Rentong's face changed slightly: "Recently there is news that the Queen Mother is going to choose a son-in-law for the eldest princess. It turns out that this is true. Could it be that Yuan Fang was chosen?"

Li Yan said indifferently: "The queen mother loves her, and the ministers are sincere and fearful, but the eldest princess is not even ten years old, so the queen mother has to choose a son-in-law, so she loves her daughter too much..."

With the calmest tone and the boldest words, all the guests fell silent.

Among the officials of the Manchu Dynasty, this was the only one who could clearly express dissatisfaction with the queen mother's actions.

Of course, they can also understand that the princess of Li Tang's royal family has a lot of troubles, who would want to marry her?
Not only messing with the relationship between men and women, but also being disrespectful to her husband's family, arrogant and domineering, and unable to manage the family.

For example, in history, the Zheng family in Xingyang produced a number one scholar, who happened to be the descendant of Zheng Rentong's family. Tang Xuanzong, known as the Little Taizong, forced the number one scholar to marry his daughter, Princess Wanshou. Hearing or not, Tang Xuanzong was so angry that he was watching a play outside and playing. He called the princess back to the palace and cursed at her.

The prime minister who recommended the number one scholar to marry the princess was Bai Juyi's cousin. Because of this marriage, he was deeply hated.

But now, Empress Wu secretly revealed that she wanted to betroth the eldest princess and recruit Li Yan as her son-in-law.

This has caused many people to criticize that a child who is only ten years old will have to choose a son-in-law. In the past, Empress Changsun would marry Li Shimin at the age of thirteen, and it took several years to make an appointment.

The point is that Empress Wu needs this identity. If she becomes the mother-in-law, it would be unfilial for Li Yan to confront her in the future.

Of course, Empress Wu estimated that Li Yan would not agree. Once he married a woman from another family, he would look down on the princess and alienate the good relationship between Li Yan and the royal family.

It was a disgusting and effective tactic, except that it didn't take into account her daughter's well-being.

Political affairs come first, Empress Wu would not consider her daughter's happiness at all. In history, Princess Taiping's first marriage was very good. The relationship between husband and wife was harmonious. In hell.

That kind of involvement is a bit like the relationship between Li Dejian and Li Chengqian. I didn't participate at all, so it can be serious or light. It's just that Wu Zetian was about to ascend the throne at that time, and he wanted to use strong means to eliminate the opposition.

Unless Li Yan has a brain, how could he become the son-in-law of the Empress Dowager Wu? After taking the Wu, he was more or less blamed: "The inner guard is busy with official duties, and the border is uneven. Now I don't want to have a long-term relationship with my children. It seems that I want to live up to the empress dowager's kindness. For the time being No more wives."

Zheng Rentong: "..."

You don't even want a wife for the sake of empress Wu, that's enough.

But knowing the reason behind it, Zheng Rentong, who originally had no good impression of Empress Wu, became even more disgusted in his heart.

How wonderful is Li Yuanfang, a handsome talent, outstanding Yingwei, occupying a fourth-rank important position, commanding the inner guard, and the most trusted courtier of the saints of the two dynasties. Trouble.

Such a husband and son-in-law, if you miss it, you will never find it again. Whose wife is not jealous?

The result was good, it was so messed up, Empress Wu did all kinds of bad things!
