Mi Han

Chapter 173 The Day of the Grand Marriage (End!)
The anger on Sun Quan's face dissipated before three breaths appeared.

Now that the situation is not in his hands, he doesn't even have the confidence to get angry.

After the anger on his face dissipated, Sun Quan's expression turned silent.

And his expression in this scene was also noticed by Deng Zhi.

Deng Zhi knew that Sun Quan had intended to compromise.

Deng Zhi continued to speak to Sun Quan: "I, Wang Ren, believe in the world, and signing the alliance with the general is sincere."

"Now my king just wants to put the covenant with the general on paper. This is a reasonable thing. I don't know why the general hesitates."

"The general's hesitation may make my king doubt the general's sincerity."

"Cao Cao, ear of the country thief."

"Since Jian'an, the evil deeds he has done, even if the water of the Yangtze River is poured, it will be difficult to wash away."

"If the general still hopes to befriend him, it is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."

"Today, if the general is willing to sign a formal alliance with his ministers to announce to the world, with my king's faith, I will definitely live up to the general."

"If the general insists on seeking skins from tigers, I will not be able to dissuade him."

After finishing speaking, Deng Zhi shook the sleeves of her robe, then stood up, as if she was about to leave.

Seeing this scene, the silence on Sun Quan's face disappeared instantly and turned into anxiety.

He hurriedly got up and called Deng Zhi to stop.

After Deng Zhi was stopped by him, Sun Quan walked down the steps, grabbed Deng Zhi's sleeve and said, "Why is Bo Miao in such a hurry!"

Faced with Sun Quan's pull, Deng Zhi did not resist, or he had been waiting for Sun Quan to make such a move.

Sun Quan supported Deng Zhi's arm and pulled him to his original seat.

After letting Deng Zhi sit down, Sun Quan just returned to his seat and sat down, and then said with a reproach on his face:
"Bo Miao is too impatient. The alliance announced that the world is of great importance. Gu is just thinking about it, so Bo Miao became angry."

Faced with Sun Quan's false accusation, Deng Zhi's face remained solemn, and he asked Sun Quan, "Have you considered it now, General?"

Under Deng Zhi's questioning, although Sun Quan's eyes were slightly dissatisfied, a smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Lonely sincerity, Changsha and Guiyang can prove it."

"Now that the King of Hanzhong has requested to sign an alliance letter, how could Gu ignore the allies' earnest intentions and refuse?"

Hearing what Sun Quan said, a smile appeared on Deng Zhi's face.

Seeing the smile on Deng Zhi's face, although Sun Quan was dissatisfied, he was helpless.

After all, it was his intention that he wanted to make peace with Liu Bei, and even restore the Liu-Sun alliance.

Although his original intention was only to buy time for Jiangdong to recuperate, but since his invitation has been put forward and Liu Bei has agreed, there is no room for change in this matter in a short time.

After all, he had handed over both Sun Deng and Changsha counties at this time. If he resolutely refused to sign a formal alliance at this time, once Liu Bei was angered, he would not be willing to bear the consequences.

The reason why Sun Quan was unwilling to sign a formal alliance with Liu Bei was that he was worried that he would offend Cao Cao.

But under Deng Zhi's words, he understood that Jiangdong is the weakest of the three now. Even if he doesn't offend Cao Cao, it's hard to guarantee that Cao Cao will not be the first to attack him in the future.

That being the case, he might as well firmly form an alliance with Liu Bei, at least Sun Quan can trust Liu Bei's reputation.

As long as Cao Cao is not destroyed, Liu Bei will not easily think about Jiangdong.

The world is divided into three parts, and the three families stand together. It is impossible for the two sides to make friends with each other. The final result is most likely to be enemies with the two families at the same time.

An alliance with Liu Bei can at least guarantee that Liu Bei will not send troops to him, and in the future when Cao Cao leads his army to attack Jiangdong, Liu Bei will send reinforcements.

Sun Quan, who is good at weighing the pros and cons, already has a decision in his heart.

Sun Quan looked at Deng Zhi and said to him: "Bo Miao, please stay in Yong'an City for a few days. Gu will immediately order someone to repair the high altar by the Yangtze River. Then Gu and Bo Miao will climb the altar together and make an oath."

Deng Zhi readily agreed to Sun Quan's proposal.

A few days later, on the bank of the Yangtze River outside Yong'an City, there stood a high altar that had just been repaired.

On this high altar, which is several feet high, Han Hussar General Sun Quan and Hanzhong Wang Shangshu Deng Zhi are standing on top of each other.

And under the high altar, there are a group of Jiangdong civil and military ministers and tens of thousands of Wu troops standing in Yong'an City.

At this time, the tens of thousands of eyes below the high altar were staring at Sun Quan and Deng Zhi above.

Tens of thousands of people here know that today is the day when their Supreme and the envoy sent by Liu Bei formally sign the covenant.

The Liu-Sun alliance began with the Battle of Chibi in the 13th year of Jian'an, but several alliance agreements have been made since the beginning of that year, and neither party has signed a formal agreement document.

So today is a special day for Liu Sun Alliance.

Once today's incident spreads across the world, it will undoubtedly have profound changes in the current world situation.

Among the tens of thousands of eyes staring at the high platform, the eyes of those Jiangdong ministers were the most complicated.

Some people had relaxed eyes, feeling that Sun Quan was wise and resolved a possible catastrophe for Jiangdong.

Some people's eyes showed puzzlement, as if they didn't understand why Sun Quan kept saying that he wanted to eliminate Liu Bei last year, but now he changed so quickly and allied with him.

Some people showed dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Among them, Xu Sheng, the general of Zhonglang, is the representative.

Xu Sheng Gu said that he was in the same position beside him: "We can't fight our lives to be the supreme and Xu Luo, and swallow Jingyi.

The defeat of the police cannot be shameful for Jiangdong, but instead makes Zhizun form an alliance with Liu Bei, which is not a shame! "

When Xu Sheng said these words, the color of indignation was vivid on his face.

When the Jiangdong generals who were in the same rank as Xu Sheng heard Xu Sheng's words, some people showed approval on their faces, such as Lu Xun and Han Dang.

There were also expressions of dissatisfaction on the faces of some people, among whom Quan Cong was the most prosperous.

Quan Cong said to Xu Sheng: "Wen Xiang is very courageous. Now Mi Yang's leader is in Xiakou, a hundred miles away. Wen Xiang might as well go and break it."

"If Wen Xiang can win a big victory, the Supreme will definitely not make an alliance with Deng Zhi again."

Hearing what Quan Cong said, the anger on Xu Sheng's face froze, he was about to explode, but how could he?

Really lead the troops to fight Mi Yang?
Although he is courageous, he is not a reckless man. Mi Yang is not so easy to defeat.

Quan Cong moved Mi Yang out, instantly making Xu Sheng speechless, and he no longer spoke angrily.

After the first battle with the Public Security Bureau, others did not know that Quan Cong did not want to fight Mi Yang any more.

Besides, Quan Cong is a native of Jiangdong, what he wants most is the stability of Jiangdong, especially at this moment.

That's why he interrupted Xu Sheng's speech.

After Quan Cong's interruption, although the Jiangdong officials below the high altar had their own thoughts, they did not utter any "rhetoric words" in the end.

There is an altar in front of Sun Quan and Deng Zhi on the high altar.

The smoke on the altar rose with the wind and floated into the sky.

After Sun Quan ordered his attendants to read the contents of the alliance book aloud to the public, he stretched out his finger and dipped the blood of the animal in the jade basin on the altar, and then he applied the blood on his own lips.

This move is called "歃."

It was handed down from the Spring and Autumn Period, an ancient covenant ceremony, mostly performed by princes.

After Sun Quan sealed his lips with sacrificed blood, Deng Zhi followed Sun Quan's practice.

On the altar on the high altar, there are two alliance books, and the two alliance books have already been stamped with the seal of the King of Hanzhong.

After Deng Zhi sealed his lips with blood, Sun Quan took off his official seal from the wooden plate held by the attendant at the side, and then he stamped his official seal on the two alliance letters on the altar.

At this point, the entire covenant ceremony is coming to an end.

After Sun Quan put the official seal back on the wooden plate, he held Deng Zhi's hand and said: "Since today, Sun and Liu Ji have made an alliance, let's work together to fight Cao's thief!"

Hearing Sun Quan's assurance in his ears, although Deng Zhi had a smile on his face, he was very sober in his heart.

Even if there is an act of promotion to the altar, even if there are officially sealed documents as evidence, but these cannot guarantee that the Liu and Sun families will be completely close in the future.

The only thing that can guarantee the effectiveness of the covenant is one's own strength and current situation.

Not only Deng Zhi knew this, but also Sun Quan, and even Liu Bei in Xiangyang City knew it.

However, if the matter of the two alliances is made known to everyone in the world by the act of ascending to the altar and renouncing the alliance, at least it can guarantee that Sun Quan will stand on Liu Bei's side before the general situation of the world changes greatly, and there is no possibility of reconciliation with Cao Cao.

After Cao Cao knew this, he would naturally regard Sun Quan as an enemy, and even take the initiative to send troops to attack Jiangdong.

As long as this is achieved, the existence of Sun Quan will share part of Cao Cao's energy, and he will be more confident when Liu Bei's northern expedition in the future.

As for how far the Liu-Sun alliance will develop in the future, it depends on the general trend of the world at that time.

To continue to be friends, or to be enemies, it depends on how the tide-makers of the three families behave.

This is the Three Kingdoms, where the situation is changing, each one develops their intelligence, and the future is unpredictable.

After signing the covenant, Deng Zhi declined Sun Quan's kindness to stay, and he immediately returned to Xiangyang City with the covenant.

But before Deng Zhi left, he made a request to Sun Quan, and Sun Quan agreed to that request after a little thought.

So Deng Zhi, who had completed all the tasks, returned to Xiangyang City with peace of mind.

After Liu Bei learned that Deng Zhi had completed the task, he immediately issued an order to let Guan Yu and Mi Yang lead the retreat.

After receiving Liu Bei's retreat order, Guan Yu and Mi Yang also led the army back outside Xiangyang soon after.

As soon as Mi Yang returned to Xiangyang City, he became the focus of the entire Xiangyang City.

Because, his wedding day has arrived.

In the Han Dynasty, there were six ceremonies for marriage, which were: Nacai, asking for names, Naji, Nazheng, asking for a date, and welcoming in person.

Among the six ceremonies, only the last one, the personal welcome, needs to be completed by Mi Yang, the new son-in-law. The other five ceremonies have already been completed with the cooperation of Mi Fang and Guan Yu.

On February 25th, the [-]th year of Han Jian'an, the alchemist said: Today is a good day to marry.

There is a saying in the Book of Songs: "Wen Wang Jiazhi, Dabang has a son. Dabang has a son, the younger sister of Tiantian. Wing Ding Juexiang, personally welcome Yu Wei."

Today, Mi Yang is going to pick up his bride back to the mansion in person, just like King Wen back then.

When the morning sun just entered the city of Xiangyang, Mi Yang was woken up early by the maidservant in the mansion, and then began to put on the complicated wedding dress under the service of the maidservant.

After dressing for a while, Mi Yang finally put on all the dresses.

Standing in front of the bronze mirror, Mi Yang looked at himself in the mirror, with a few smiles on his face.

His appearance wasn't bad at all, but under the special attire today, he looked even more energetic and extraordinary.

At this moment, Mi Fang arrived in Mi Yang's room, seeing that Mi Yang hadn't left yet, he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged Mi Yang out of the mansion.

Mi Fang pulled Mi Yang, and said anxiously: "What time is it and you still don't leave, if you miss the time to pick up the bride, then what's the matter!"

Mi Fang, who was nearly 61 years old and always wanted to hold a grandson, was busy all night without sleep in order to arrange today's wedding. His son was lucky, and now it was dawn and he looked unhurried.

Mi Yang was dragged by Mi Fang to keep walking outside, because of Mi Fang's impatience, Mi Yang's figure was a little unstable, and the jade around his waist made pleasant sounds because of the collision.

Seeing Mi Fang's eager look, Mi Yang couldn't help feeling amused.

Why is it that Mi Fang is the bridegroom today?

Mi Fang dragged Mi Yang all the way through the entire mansion decorated with lights and came to the gate.

When Mi Yang came to the gate, he couldn't help being shocked by the scene in front of him.

On the wide alley outside the gate, hundreds of convoys full of gold and silver gifts are crowded together, and there are many advocacy bands in festive clothes standing on both sides of the hundreds of convoys.

This is too exaggerated.

Hasn't it already been collected?
And when Mi Yang appeared at the gate, Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, Zhao Tong, and Guan Xing, who were in front of the hundreds of cars, immediately got off the horse and came to Mi Yang.

These four people got up early in the morning to dress up for Mi Yang's wedding today.

The four of them were already handsome, and under some special attire, they stood together with Mi Yang, just like the five handsome gentlemen in the world.

Seeing that Mi Yang didn't get on the horse quickly, Mi Fang felt anxious.

He was about to pull Mi Yang onto the horse, but at this time Guan Ping and the others had come to Mi Fang, Guan Ping bowed to Mi Fang and said: "Uncle, leave the rest to us."

After finishing speaking, before Guan Ping could wait for Mi Yang to react, he, together with Zhang Bao and others, lifted Mi Yang from the ground, and then directly lifted him onto the tall horse with a happy ball hanging on his chest .

Mi Yang was caught off guard, and by the time he realized it, he was already sitting on a tall horse.

After lifting Mi Yang onto the horse, Guan Ping and the others got on the horse one after another.

Then Zhang Bao raised the happy drum on his waist and beat it, and the whole huge convoy had already started to march.

Looking at Mi Yang's receding figure, Mi Fang's eyes were already wet with tears.

He has been waiting for this scene for 20 years.

But fortunately, God blessed him, so that he could see this scene in his lifetime.

Strings of bells hung on more than a hundred carriages jingled in the wind as the carriages moved.

And when the welcoming team started to move, the advocacy band next to the welcoming team also rang their instruments.

The celebratory rites and music complemented the crisp bells, and soon turned into bursts of intoxicating melodious music, resounding through the lanes in the still slightly silent Xiangyang City.

This awakened the people who were still asleep.

When the awakened people opened the gate one after another, they saw the huge convoy, and expressions of surprise and envy appeared on their faces.

Which family's lord is getting married, so flamboyant!
Mi Yang rode a tall horse with a happy face and led the huge convoy towards the former general's mansion.

Today, because of Mi Yang's act of welcoming relatives, Liu Bei has issued a king's order to clean up the Dao in Xiangyang City.

The wedding convoy led by Mi Yang moved very fast along the way without any obstruction.

Not long after, Mi Yang and the welcoming team arrived outside the former general's mansion.

After Mi Yang's arrival, Guan Yu in the former general's mansion had a smile on his face when he heard the news.

He personally helped Guan Yan, who finished her make-up and was as beautiful as a fairy, walked towards the outside of the mansion step by step.

In the Han Dynasty, the habit of covering the bride with a red hijab was not widespread.

When the figures of Guan Yu and Guan Yan appeared in Mi Yang's eyes, he immediately got off his horse and came to Guan Yu. He bowed to Guan Yu, and then took Guan Yan's little white hand from Guan Yu's.

When Mi Yang's warm hand touched Guan Yan's delicate hand, Guan Yan deliberately avoided it, but in the end Guan Yan took the initiative to put her hand in Mi Yang's.

Feeling the tenderness of the palm, Mi Yang felt a sense of responsibility in his heart.

From today on, he is a husband.

Hold the hand of your son, and grow old together with your son. This is an oath that has been recited since the pre-Qin period.

Mi Yang will also abide by it.

After taking Guan Yan from Guan Yu, Mi Yang helped Guan Yan step by step to the most luxurious carriage in the wedding party, and then Mi Yang carefully helped Guan Yan into the carriage.

After finishing this step, Mi Yang bowed to Guan Yu again, and then stepped on the horse again.

Mi Yang left the more than a hundred carriages filled with gold and silver gifts outside the former general's mansion, and then he led Guan Yan and the wedding party back outside Mi's mansion.

After returning to Mi Mansion, Mi Yang dismounted and helped Guan Yan from the carriage, and then led her towards the lobby of the mansion step by step.

Mi Yang had been taught everything about wedding etiquette yesterday.

After arriving in the lobby, Mi Yang took Guan Yan to a desk in the middle of the lobby, where he and Guan Yan stood facing each other across the desk.

At this time, there were many maids holding red candles outside the hall, and they entered the hall in pairs.

The lobby was already full of guests who came to observe the etiquette: Zhao Yun, Wang Fu, Zhao Lei, Yu Jin, etc. Anyway, the officials of the Hanzhong prince who were able to come here now, all came to Mi Yang's mansion today to bless Mi Yang's newlyweds.

The entire lobby was crowded with Hanchens, big and small, with smiles on their faces.

Mi Yang and Guan Yan first bowed to the guests present to express their gratitude for coming, and after completing this, the couple bowed to each other.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no etiquette of worshiping heaven and earth that is known to later generations.

After finishing the prostration, Mi Yang took Guan Yan's hand and bowed to Mi Fang who was sitting in the middle of the lobby.

Mi Fang was already smiling from ear to ear. After Mi Yang and his wife saluted him, Mi Fang gave each a glass of wine to Mi Yang and Guan Yan.

After drinking, a maid brought a copper basin filled with clean water to Mi Yang.

Mi Yang reached into the copper basin, and washed his hands and face with the water in the copper basin. After Mi Yang finished doing this, Guan Yan did the same.

Then Mi Yang and Guan Yan ate the meat of an animal in front of everyone.

After eating meat together, Mi Yang poured two glasses of wine, and he and Guan Yan exchanged glasses, and each finished the wine in their hands.

Finally, Mi Yang took off the red tassels on Guan Yan's green silk. After taking off the red tassels, Mi Yang took off two strands of his and Guan Yan's long hair respectively, and tied the two strands of long hair together with the red tassels.

This red-tassel knot silk will be kept in a safe place until Mi Yang and Guan Yan share the same acupuncture point in the future, and they will be put into it together.

After completing this step, the entire wedding ceremony is officially over, and the next step is the banquet time for the guests of honor.

Watching Mi Yang send Guan Yan into the inner hall, cheers erupted in the hall.

With the sound of gongs and drums outside the hall, the servants in Mi's mansion began to arrange for the guests to be seated.

After all the guests were seated, a series of delicacies and wines were brought up by the servants of Mi's mansion.

The aroma of delicious food and wine floats in the lobby in an instant.

All of a sudden, there was a lot of drinking and drinking in the lobby, and there were endless laughter.

Mi Yang, who had just sent Guan Yan into the inner hall, was immediately surrounded by many guests as soon as he appeared in the hall.

Zhao Yun, Yu Jin, Ma Liang, Deng Zhi, She Yuan and others looked at the surrounded Mi Yang with a smile.

And those of the same age as Guan Ping, Zhang Bao, etc., are the new force that directly surrounded Mi Yang.

Guan Ping, Zhang Bao and the others surrounded Mi Yang, saying congratulatory words, while the wine in their hands was constantly pouring into Mi Yang's mouth.

Often Mi Yang has not finished drinking a cup before the second cup has already been delivered to his mouth.

After being continuously toasted, Mi Yang soon became a little drunk.

What are you doing!

Will you let me have a bridal chamber for a while?

But before Mi Yang could make more complaints, a new round of toasts came again.

"I wish the general a happy wedding!"

"I wish Zisheng to have a son soon!"

"Heaven, a match made in heaven, a hundred, a hundred years of good luck."

In the end, even Deng Ai joined the ranks of the persuading army.

A sentence of blessings and a glass of fine wine completely drowned Mi Yang.

...

At this time, outside the Mi Mansion, the king's car of the King of Hanzhong was parked in the alley.

Sitting in the king's car, Liu Bei looked at the Mi Mansion, which was brightly lit and full of laughter, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

It's nice to be young!

Wang Jiawai's attendants asked Liu Bei cautiously, "Isn't Your Majesty going in?"

The attendant didn't understand why Liu Bei didn't intend to go in even though he was here.

Facing the attendant's question, Liu Bei smiled and shook his head.

Once he entered in his capacity, the people inside might be restrained.

Let them relax tonight.

Liu Bei picked up a glass of wine from the table in the car, and drank it in the direction of Mi's mansion.

"Zicheng, uncle wishes you a happy wedding."

After saying this, Liu Bei ordered the king to set off for the former general's residence.

He will be going back to Yizhou soon, so he will accompany his second brother.

In the 25 years of Jian'an in this time and space, Guan Yu is not dead, and Liu Bei still has the opportunity to talk with him at night.

Moreover, Jingzhou did not lose, but took back the territory of the two counties, and everything is moving in a good direction.

The new history of the Three Kingdoms has arrived. For Mi Yang, his fate has been completely tied to Ji Han's national destiny.

Today, whether it is Mi Yang's fate or Ji Han's national fortune-the future can be expected!
