The Reborn Lao Tzu Is the Emperor

Chapter 198 Marrying Ying Er
Days passed so quickly.

The matter of Zhao Dongting's marriage to Ying'er was in full swing, red and colored lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace, and lanterns were displayed high.

Among the people, the matter of the nobles conspiring to assassinate and being beheaded continues to ferment.

At this moment, Zhao Dongting officially promulgated the Bounty Order, abolishing the untouchable system, and elevating the status of small officials in various ministries, and also included them in the order of imperial court officials. Their chests are quite high, and they are grateful to Zhao Dongting and the court.

Every day outside the gate of the palace, people knelt down and kowtowed for the emperor's kindness.

These are the untouchables, most of whom are slaves from various places. They never thought that their status as untouchables would be cancelled.

Because of Zhao Dongting's Boon Order, they no longer have to be slaves for generations.

Therefore, the number of people who joined the army suddenly increased.For several days in a row, the gateposts were almost squeezed outside the recruiting camp.

Followed by Zhao Dongting, he ordered the reopening of liberal arts and martial arts, and recruited talented people from the public.Then Wang Wenfu reopened the Guozijian to recruit students.

Before the end of the new year, all departments of the Song court were already in full swing.But those petty officials who had been removed from their status as untouchables had no complaints, but were full of enthusiasm.

Chen Jianghan was at a loss as to what to do with those noble properties, but Zhao Dongting gave him an idea to set up an official auction house to let him auction off all those properties.This made Chen Jianghan seem to see countless golden, yellow and orange gold throwing towards him again, laughing from ear to ear all day long.

Zhao Dongting will marry Yinger on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

It was still the seventh day of the first lunar month, red silk was hung high everywhere in Haikang County, and the sound of firecrackers was resounding non-stop.

This is not an order issued by Zhao Dongting, but the common people of the people.

There are not a few families in Leizhou, Qiongzhou and other places who hang red silk in front of their doors, and some even pray for Zhao Dongting to worship Buddha.

In fact, the common people are the easiest to be satisfied. Zhao Dongting allowed them to have enough food to eat and fields to cultivate, and they were already grateful to the Song Dynasty court.

Zhao Dongting was quite emotional when he learned about the situation outside the palace.

The slight sense of guilt caused by beheading all those nobles has completely disappeared.If they were not killed, the Boon Order would not be carried out so smoothly.Although some of them are innocent, killing them will benefit more people after all.

That night, Deputy Minister of State Xiang Dongyang and Qiongzhou comfort envoys Zhao and Luo also rushed from Qiongzhou to Haikang starry night to attend Zhao Dongting's concubine ceremony.

Zhao Dongting met the two of them at night and learned that Qiongzhou's new policies were implemented very well, so he asked Xiang Dongyang to stay in Haikang County in the future.Liu Fu died of illness, and now Lu Xiufu and Chen Wenlong are very busy, it is a bit overkill for a talented person like Xiang Dongyang to stay in Qiongzhou.

Yinger has been taken to Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom.

The emperor's marriage is actually similar to folk customs, but the battles are countless.Ying'er is the concubine to be formally conferred. Although she was born as a maid in the palace, she still has to go through the procedures.The House of Internal Affairs in the palace, which is in charge of the royal wedding, did not omit any steps from Nacai, asking for names, Najib, to accepting levy, and asking for a date.

This is what Zhao Dongting and Concubine Yang Shu meant.

Yinger's relatives don't know where they hang around, but they have no intention of treating her badly.After all, Yinger has been in the palace for so many years.

After Xiang Dongyang and Zhao Yuluo left, Zhao Dongting climbed onto the roof, but stared at the north in a daze.

I don't know how Le Chan is doing now.

These days, he tried his best to get close to Yinger, but he still didn't feel that kind of love between men and women.This kind of thing is really out of subjective control.

In his heart, Yinger can give him warmth, but it is more like a relative than a lover.

When he was in a daze, there was a rustling sound behind him.

Zhao Dongting looked back, it turned out that the girl Yue Wu also crept up to the roof, and asked with a smile, "Why are you still not resting at this time?"

Le Wu curled her lips and said, "Sister Ying'er is not here, so I can't sleep."

As she spoke, she sat down beside Zhao Dongting, and said, "Why haven't you gone to bed, Your Majesty?"

Zhao Dongting said, "I'm thinking about your sister."

Le Wu was silent, and then said: "If elder sister Yinger knows that you still miss my elder sister, she will probably be unhappy."

Zhao Dongting laughed, "Ying'er won't be so stingy!"

Le Wu propped her chin, and suddenly sighed for no reason, "Oh, Your Majesty, you are younger than me and you are getting married, and you don't know where my fiancé is."

Zhao Dongting was overjoyed, "You girl, why are you thinking about these things at such an age?"

Yue Wu tilted her head and said, "Am I very young?"

She is also 15 years old. In this age, she has reached the age of marriage.

Zhao Dongting didn't know what to say.Judging by his standards, Le Wu is obviously still a little girl.

Small arms and legs, the chest has not yet developed!

But he didn't dare to say that, for fear that the girl Le Wu would become angry and pinch him.The longer the time we get along, the more presumptuous this girl is now.

Of course, Zhao Dongting quite enjoyed this feeling.Apart from music and dance, no one dared to be so "unscrupulous" in front of him.

After being stunned for a while, Zhao Dongting spoke again: "Le Wu, what would you do if your fiancé was an ugly man with pockmarked face and short stature?"

"what?"

Le Wu had a bitter face, "I can't be so unlucky, can I?"

As she said that, she suddenly pouted, "Hmph, my fiancé must be a hero."

Zhao Dongting said: "I mean what if. If he is like that, what would you do?"

Yue Wu said: "What else can I do? The engagement was made by my father, so can I still escape the marriage?"

Zhao Dongting was thoughtful.

Yue Wu seemed to realize something suddenly, and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, don't you want to escape marriage?"

"What do you think?"

Zhao Dongting couldn't laugh or cry and said: "I am the emperor, how could I do such a thing?"

Lewu patted Xiaohe's sharp chest, and he said with fear, "This is good, otherwise sister Ying'er must be sad."

Seeing her cute appearance, Zhao Dongting couldn't help reaching out to touch her head, and then fell silent.

From Yue Wu's words, he could clearly hear that women in this era have no resistance to marrying or even having children with men they have never met.As a personal maid, Ying Er will definitely not refuse his favor.However, he himself was a little troubled.

He can accept marrying Ying Er, but every time he thinks of having a child, he always feels weird.

In modern society, even if you are a matchmaker, you have to try everything first to cultivate feelings!

He always felt like a stallion when two people with no emotional foundation had a child.

But time, after all, will not stop because of his entanglement.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs formally drafted an edict, and Li Yinger was brought into the harem and named Concubine Hui.

The virtuous Hui, Zhao Dongting took this on purpose.

In the early morning of the ninth day of the ninth day, Zhao Dongting offered sacrifices to heaven and earth again, announcing it to the world.Then he led Zhao Da, Zhao Hu and others on horseback to meet Yang Shufei outside the palace.

After all, Ying'er was the first concubine he accepted, and Concubine Yang Shu deliberately asked Zhao Dongting to follow the etiquette of accepting queens in order to create momentum.

If Zhao Dongting accepts another concubine in the future, it will obviously not be so cumbersome.Especially if you choose beautiful women from the people, basically the beauties are sent from various states and governments, and then go through layers of screening, and even have to be checked by those old eunuchs and old slaves, and then those who pass are sent to the harem to wait for the Zhao Dynasty. The favor of Dongting.Those who are lucky enough to be favored will be made a concubine, and those who are not favored will be imperial servants all their lives, also known as Hongxiapei, who will hardly see the light of day.

In ancient times, it was not so easy to climb up in the harem.

The top is the queen, and the bottom is the concubine, concubine, and concubine, who are the three wives, and then Shuyuan, Shuyi, Shurong, Zhaohua, Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuhua, Xiuyi, and Xiurong are the nine. For the concubines, Jieyu, Ronghua, Chonghua, Chengwei, and Lierong are the five positions.Now, there are also such loose workers as beauties, talents, and beauties.The last is the servant, that is, the beautiful girl who has just entered the palace.

It is natural for Yinger to be conferred directly as a concubine like this.

When Zhao Dongting arrived outside Concubine Yang Shu's bedroom, the salute was resounding and the ground was covered with red.

Then, Ying'er, who was surrounded by dozens of beautiful maids and covered with a red hood, slowly walked out of the courtyard gate.

All the ministers who followed Zhao Dongting congratulated Zhao Dongting again and again, overjoyed, much happier than taking concubines themselves.

Zhao Dongting waited for Yinger to be helped into the sedan chair, and then rode slowly to the main hall of the palace.

There are maids on both sides of the road, carrying flower baskets and scattering flower petals on the road.Of course, this season, the petals are all cut out of colored paper.

When they arrived at the main hall, all the ministers congratulated again.

This is also the case when the Southern Song Dynasty is in decline. In its heyday, when the emperor got married, all the subordinate countries had to send envoys to offer gifts and congratulations.

After some very tedious and lengthy steps, it was almost noon.

Like a puppet, Zhao Dongting was invited here and there by the officials of the House of Internal Affairs, dizzy and dizzy.

In Haikang County, there are firecrackers everywhere.

At night, the sky is even more colorful.

Although Ying'er was only a concubine, her wedding was no less grand than those emperors of the Song Dynasty who married their queens.

No one knows how many times Yinger wept with joy quietly under the red hijab.

When Zhao Dongting returned to the bedroom, Ying Er was already sitting on the side of the bed with her head slightly lowered.There is no maid in the room.

There are some wine, food and fruits on the round table, as well as two huge flower candles inlaid with golden dragons and phoenixes.

As soon as she heard the sound of the door, Ying'er's body trembled slightly, and her plain hands quietly squeezed the hem of her clothes.

Although she had long been psychologically prepared to serve Zhao Dongting, it would be impossible for her not to be nervous at this moment.

Zhao Dongting stood at the door, scratching his head, and finally walked towards Yinger.
