People in the early Tang Dynasty: I compete with Wu Zhao for the throne

Chapter 547 Princes Temple, King of England Arrives

At five o'clock, Li Xuan was wearing a gold silk robe with a black background, and walked between the dark pavilions with a solemn expression.

Li Zhu held the lamp in front, and the bamboo forest in another courtyard not far away made gusts of wind.

In front of a black gate, the housekeeper Su Zang stood in front of the gate, holding a red lantern in his hand.

"Little prince." The white-haired Su Zang bowed slightly to Li Xuan, and then pushed the black wooden door open with force.

Li Xuan bowed seriously to the old housekeeper Su Zang, and then stepped into the black wooden door.

A solemn sacrificial hall suddenly appeared in front of Li Xuan's eyes, with red candles lit on both sides, and a five-element memorial tablet was placed on the wooden table in the front.

Emperor Yi Zuguang of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Jing of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Shizu Yuan of Tang Dynasty, Emperor Gaozu Taiwu of Tang Dynasty, King Peng Si.

Emperor Taizong has a call: seven temples for the son of heaven, five temples for princes.

The princes have their family temples, and the emperor has his temple.

In the family temple of King Peng's Mansion, five generations of ancestors are enshrined.

In the Taimiao of the Son of Heaven, in addition to Li Zhi's father, Emperor Taizong Wen of the Tang Dynasty, there are also Emperor Xianzu Xuan of Tang Dynasty and Emperor Xuanyuan, the congenital Taishang.

……

The table is full of gifts and fruits for the five animals, red candles are placed on both sides, and in the incense burner, the high incense has almost been burned out.

"Let's get started." Han Wang Li Yuanjia stepped out of the darkness, dressed in black brocade clothes, with a serious expression on his face.

"Here!" Li Xuan cupped his hands, then brushed off his hem, and knelt down directly under the tablet with a solemn expression.

Li Yuanjia took out a piece of red paper from his sleeve, held it with both hands, and thought in a deep voice to the spiritual seat: "The ancestor god of heaven and earth is above, and Li Yuanjia, the king of Han, reports that there is Prince Peng, King of Nanchang, Xuan, who is old and successful, and the emperor bestows upon him Marriage, we are marrying the granddaughter of Lecheng County Duke Liu Weng and Dechang County Jun Jinyu here today...May the ancestors bless you, the couple will have a good marriage, the piano and the instrument will be in harmony, and you will enjoy it! Enjoy it!"

"Heaven and Earth Ancestral God, Fu Wei Shang!" Li Xuan followed Li Yuanjia to chant, and then knelt down to the ground.

After kneeling three times and knocking nine times, he breathed a sigh of relief.

According to Zhou etiquette, on the day of the big wedding, at five o'clock in the morning, it is time to offer sacrifices to the ancestors of heaven and earth.

Commonly known as "enjoy the first".

Just as Li Xuan was about to stand up, Li Yuanjia on the side shouted, "Continue to kneel."

Li Xuan was slightly taken aback, but continued to kneel down.

At this time, Li Yuanjia lowered his head and stretched out his hand, reaching under the table.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a long black box and placed it on the altar.

Li Xuan was full of surprise, he had been here more than once in Chang'an's Pengwang Family Temple, never knew there was such a thing here.

The long black box was opened, and inside was a longbow made of yew wood.

"This is called the Sparrow Eagle Bow. Your grandfather Gaozu Emperor Taiwu ordered someone to imitate all the longbows he used on the battlefield. Each of the kings has one, and it is reserved for the inheritance of the kings. But unfortunately, among my brothers, Only few people will come to the battlefield in person." Li Yuanjia sighed softly, and said: "This belongs to the twelfth brother. He grew up in a prosperous place since he was a child, and he has never used it. Now it belongs to you..."

After a slight pause, Li Yuanjia continued to speak seriously: "Uncle hopes that you...don't use it lightly, let alone show it in front of others."

Li Yuanjia's expression was very solemn, as if this bow was of some great use.

Li Xuan's heart moved, and he immediately became solemn, then cupped his hands and said, "Nephew understands."

"Well, get up, go and greet your mother and concubine." Li Yuanjia waved his hand, Li Xuan immediately stood up slowly, bowed slightly to the ancestral tablet, and then retreated carefully.

The black door was closed again, and Li Yuanjia's expression of looking at the tablet of Gaozu remained in Li Xuan's sight, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Unwilling!
Gaozu Li Yuan was directly expelled by his son to be the Supreme Emperor. One day he was still the emperor in power, and the next day he became a prisoner under house arrest. The difference is so great that ordinary people can't feel it.

The bow was hidden so secretly, it was nothing more than a little leftover thought of Gao Zu.

In his later years, the only ones he could truly trust and entrust to his former confidantes, traitors and traitors were his sons.

The descendants of Emperor Taizong, of course, are also his descendants, but maybe it was a moment of unwillingness and resentment that made him pass this thing down, but what is the use of this thing.

Whether it is Emperor Taizong or Emperor Gaozong, the seat is very stable.

Even if it was later that Empress Wu came to the court, punished and killed the children surnamed Li, and the children surnamed Li rebelled, and they were easily eliminated in the end.

The hearts of the people in this world have never been on a certain utensil, but on people's hearts.

This thing has almost no effect, unless someone has the ability to subvert the situation, and before finally standing on the throne, then this thing will help him clear the last nominal obstacle.

The sky in the distance has already lightened slightly, walking in the cold corridor, Li Xuan couldn't help turning her head.

Does the emperor really not know about the existence of this thing?

Not to mention Li Zhi, but Li Shimin, with his suspicion of his father, how could it be possible for such a thing to appear silently in the hands of several princes, this is simply impossible.

Unless Li Shimin and Li Zhi knew about this a long time ago, they just regarded it as the last consolation to comfort Li Yuan's mood.

For the other kings, it's okay to be safe, if they are uneasy...

……

In the middle hall, Li Xuan knelt down at the feet of his mother and concubine Ouyang Shi: "Mum, my son is getting married today."

"Well, I've seen the girl from the Liu family before. She's gentle and she's a nice girl." Ouyang patted Li Xuan's shoulder and said softly, "From today onwards, you're going to have a family. , someone else will take care of it for Aunt.”

Speaking of this, Ouyang suddenly felt a little sentimental, and Li Xuan hurriedly comforted her: "Mom, from now on, there will be one more person who will be filial to you like a son."

"Okay, okay, go change your clothes, after a while, someone should come to the door." Ouyang calmed down a little, and then drove Li Xuan to the backyard.

At this time, Ouyang Tong came from behind, patted Ouyang on the shoulder, and said softly: "Little sister, this is a good thing. After Dalang gets married, you can wait to hold a grandson."

"Brother!" Ouyang looked at her elder brother dumbfounded, only then did she realize that Ouyang Tong's gaze was not on herself, but on the servants coming and going in the courtyard in the front yard.

"What's the matter, brother, is there something wrong?" Ouyang asked subconsciously.

"It's nothing." Ouyang Tong shook his head slightly, looked at Ouyang Shi and said, "Let's go, it's time for breakfast. There may be more people coming today than in the past year."

"Okay." Ouyang stood up and walked towards the side hall with Ouyang Tong.

At this moment, Ouyang Tong looked back at the courtyard again.

The sudden increase in secret arrangements in the courtyard since last night has all fallen into his eyes.

Wei Wei Siqing has never been a simple civil servant, let alone Ouyang Tong has been the governor for so many years.

As soon as he turned around, Ouyang Tong followed Ouyang Shi to the side hall, his expression relaxed a lot.

……

Big red gown with five pythons and five chapters with black borders, black three-colored seven-beam crown, white gold and jade belt, and black buckskin boots with jade-like patterns.

Li Xuan stood in the middle of the big room, dressed in a groom's official attire, with a straight body, and bowed his hands to everyone inside and outside the house at the same time.

Li Xu on the side couldn't help clapping his hands, and exclaimed: "27 Lang, you now have the seven-point demeanor of your brother!"

"That's true." Li Jing immediately interjected, and said, "Back when Eleven Lang got married, if I hadn't been there, I wouldn't have tied my belt, so I almost rushed out the door, hahaha..."

All the people inside and outside the room couldn't help laughing.

Although the joke wasn't very funny, Li Xuan still laughed along with it. The brothers were trying to calm his nerves.

Today, Li Xu, Li Chongjing and others are all deep in the palace.

At the moment, Li Xuan's cousin Zhao Gong and Huayang county magistrate Li Xiaobin were in charge of receiving the guests at the door. They were both Li Xuan's elders. Young people like them were not in charge of such a big event.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps from outside, the butler Zhou Sheng stood at the door, cupped his hands at Li Xuan and said, "Mr. Yang, the general supervisor, Mr. Yang, has arrived."

Li Xuan frowned, took off the seven-beam crown, put it in the room, and said to everyone: "Little brother, go out and meet me."

"I'll go together later." Li Xu stood up, and he didn't dare to neglect Yang Wulian, a master craftsman, even the king of Shizi County.

Three provinces, six ministries, nine temples, and five supervisors, Yang Wulian, a master craftsman, has a good chance to become Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

At the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, he is already qualified to be the prince's teacher.

Li Xuan walked first, and kept clapping his hands at the passing guests. When he came to the door, he happened to see Yang Wulian, accompanied by Ouyang Tong, walking towards the inner courtyard.

"Yang Weng!" Li Xuan came to the front, hurriedly cupped his hands, bowed at the same time, and said: "Yang Weng, why did you come so early today?"

On the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, there is no off-duty bathing on the Double Ninth Day, which was set by later Emperor Dezong, and it is still on duty now.

"Your Majesty, please come!" Yang Wulian bowed his hand to Li Xuan slightly to return the salute, and then said with a smile: "I am an idler, no one will care, but Huang Rensu from Dali Temple wants to come, but he has a lot of things to do."

"If Yang Weng is idle, there will be no busy people in the whole court." Li Xuan accompanied Yang Wulian and said with a smile: "Now it is only Yang Weng who came out to find inspiration."

Now that the whole court is preparing for the Tubo incident, if it is really because of Li Xuan's marriage that people will write Yang Wulian's book, it will be shameful, and it will be Li Xuan.

"Your lord can still talk, but today, I do have something to ask for advice, Du Chun..." Before Yang Wulian finished speaking, Li Xuan quickly grabbed him and said, "Yang Weng, the little king will definitely come to visit in the future. Now That's all for now."

"Yes, yes, this is not a place to talk." Yang Wulian suddenly realized that Du Chun's matter was far from being as simple as it seemed.

After finally getting Yang Wulian settled down, the gatekeeper at the door suddenly shouted: "His Royal Highness is here."

"Li Xian, why did he come so early?" Li Xuan hurried towards the door with a puzzled look on her face.

Li Xian didn't come with Prince Li Xian, and even Prime Minister Li Dan didn't follow, he came alone.

After reaching the second gate, Li Xuan realized that Li Xian did not come alone, there were two people accompanying him.

One of them is Li Sichong, the eldest son of Li Jingxuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and the other is Han Jiang, a member of the household department.

　Today's Dragon Boat Festival, I wish you five blessings.

　　Auspiciousness, happiness, fortune, future, happiness, good luck!
　　I wish all book friends a healthy Dragon Boat Festival!
