Bad Man Li Tang Fengyun

Chapter 124 The Big Wedding
Ulaanbaatar, the imperial city

The Mobei team led by Yelu Sarui has returned. In the palace, Suriduo stood in front of a coffin, looking at Yelu Abaoji lying in the coffin without any fluctuations in his eyes.

Yelu Sarui, who was beside Shuli Duo, knelt on one knee, and said a little nervously, "Queen Qi, Master Zhiwu has gone to the Central Plains alone."

A gleam flashed in Surido's eyes, and he raised his arm and shook it slightly, "I'll find out about this later, you go down first."

As Yelu Sarui walked away, Suriduo reached out to remove the blood jade from Yelu Abaoji's finger, grabbed his collar with one hand and dragged him out of the coffin.

When they came to the palace where the two of them shared, they casually threw Yelu Abaoji on the dragon bed.Surido's face was calm, and now he was short of the most difficult gunpowder formula.

With firearms, she, Surido, must be as good as anyone.

A few days later, at Yin time, outside the Hall of Yingtian

Before the gate of the palace, all the officials were already dressed neatly, and there were still a few sticks of incense before the time to enter the palace. Gangs of officials gathered together to discuss matters.

As soon as the time came, Wen and Wu were led to the East and West Chaotang respectively to discuss in a small group.

A group of generals gathered in the Zuochao hall, the leader of the generals was Xiao Dilu, the half-brother of the empress today, and his younger brother Xiao Aguzhi was beside him.

Due to the correct betting, the Xiao family, with the help of Suriduo, quickly completed the action of unifying the various forces of the Uighur.

In the end, Xiao Dilu decided to merge the Uighur into Mobei directly, and the Xiao family became the most powerful family in Mobei because of this.

Due to the joining of the Han people, Yelu Abaoji has opened the era of the division of the two prefectures. Xiao Dilu is now the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, that is, the eldest brother of the Mobei officials.

Today's Chaoqian discussion was exceptionally quiet. Brother Xiao closed his eyes and rested his mind, shielded everything from the outside world, and stood there expressionless. The rest of the people did not dare to speak out if they wanted to ask.

He could only look hopefully at his second brother Xiao Agu, who didn't close his eyes, just lowered his head and stared at his toes non-stop.

As if he had discovered something extraordinary, he watched it with relish, so that other people's eyes could not disturb his elegance at all.

Everyone's eyes shifted sideways again, looking at Zhao Siwen, the third brother of the third boss.Although this Han Chinese came from Qin, he was also a person who had resisted arrows and swords against Yelu Abaoji, and belonged to the popular man in front of the Holy Majesty.

But Zhao Siwen also closed his eyes and said nothing, and now everyone was completely dumbfounded.Why did His Majesty not go to court for a few days, and it became like this, what kind of trouble is this going to do?
The Xichaotang of the civil servants was also in the same situation, but these old foxes were more perceptive than the military officials, and soon realized that something big was about to happen.

Each of them felt like a concubine, hating that they were so cheap today, why didn't they say they were sick at home, and chose to stay in bed to recuperate!

Half a quarter of an hour later, the forward discussion ended.All the officials arrived at the Yingtian Palace, but Yelu Abaoji did not appear, but Suriduo, who was dressed in a pale yellow palace attire, came slowly.

"The queen of heaven is here~"

Since the second sage came to court, everyone didn't notice something was wrong for a while, and even though Suriduo walked all the way without saying a word, all the officials felt as if they were carrying a mountain on their bodies, which made people breathless.

It wasn't until Surido took the first place in the central government that there was a trace of panic among the officials below.

Without time to think about it, all the officials could only kneel down and salute, and shouted as usual, "I will see the Heavenly Empress, the Heavenly Empress is blessed and safe!"

Suriduo raised his arms falsely, and his cold voice spread throughout the entire Yingtian Temple, "Everyone is flat."

Only now did Baiguan stand up and look at Surido, still whispering.

Surido sat on the first seat, facing the whispers below, she still looked like she was in the same situation, she raised her bare hand lightly, and said indifferently,

"Your Majesty was out hunting a few days ago, unfortunately fell off his horse and was seriously injured. After asking someone to make a diagnosis, there is nothing that can be done about His Majesty's condition.

However, a country cannot be without a king for a day, and a family cannot be without an owner for a day.Today, His Majesty has not recovered from his serious injury, and the young master cannot bear the great responsibility. From now on, Mobei will be governed by this Empress! "

The officials below exploded completely, and there were constant discussions. They heard Surido's words clearly, and the two words were clearly in power, not regent.

Although there is a difference of one letter, the difference can be said to be one heaven and one underground.

Some smart people lowered their heads and looked quietly at the big men standing in front of them, such as Xiao Dilu, Prime Minister of the North Mansion, Han Yanhui, Prime Minister of the South Mansion, Zhao Siwen, the Procurator, and others.

Xiao Dilu took the lead in taking action. When everyone felt that he was going to speak out against him, the first Mobei brother half-kneeled on the ground and bowed his head in surrender.

"Minister Xiao Dilu, see the Queen of Heaven, long live the Queen of Heaven, long live, long live, long live!"

The people belonging to Surido also started to bow down, and naturally there were diehard Yelu Abaoji who did not bow down, and felt something was wrong.

You just told us that the strongest warrior in Khitan fell off his horse while hunting and was paralyzed?Can you be more perfunctory?

Just tell us how good it was for the fish to drown in the water tank yesterday.

And aren't you the Queen of Heaven?Why go directly to the Queen of Heaven!

"I don't know, when did His Majesty get injured, and who diagnosed it? Please let the Empress know."

The first bird appeared, Yelu Helu was the brother of Yelu Abaoji.Although he got a high official position, Yelu Abaoji once put his arms around his shoulders and called him his heart.

With the first bird, a few Yelu Abaoji's diehard loyalists soon came out, glaring at Li Duo, and began to force the palace,

"Your Majesty is so kind to me that I am subject to a death penalty. I dare not not ask. Please tell the Queen of Heaven how your Majesty was injured."

"Please be merciful, Queen of Heaven!"

Surido sat on the throne, leaned forward and leaned out half of his body, looked at the ministers below, and said in a cold tone,

"As I said later, His Majesty accidentally fell off his horse while hunting in the grassland, and he is still unconscious. Do you have any objections?"

Yeluhelu poked his neck and said, "The Queen of Heaven, please tell me who diagnosed Your Majesty's injury."

The corner of Surido's mouth curled up, she just didn't say anything on purpose.Waiting for them to jump into this pit, she wants to see who is begging for death today.

Surido leaned back on the throne, his red lips parted slightly, and he uttered two cold words, "Ao Gu!"

There was an instant silence in the hall, and no one dared to question whether Yelu Abaoji had any hope of waking up.If you continue to question it, you are provoking Ao Gu's majesty.

Yelu Helu's face turned red, everyone could tell that there was something wrong with Yelu Abaoji's affairs.But no one dared to say that Surido held salt and iron in his hand.

The two things that are most lacking on the grassland, Yelu Abaoji failed to snatch them when he was alive. Do you expect him to turn around if he becomes a stall?
The grass on the wall no longer hesitated, and they knelt down to salute, shouting loudly, "Long live the Empress!"

As for where the emperor has gone, he is probably still lying in the palace.

Surido glanced at those hard bones, and remembered the names of those people in his heart.She is in a good mood today, and she can't be so eager, let them off for the time being, and kill them slowly in the future.

……

At the end of the court meeting, Surido returned to the palace, and before he got close, he heard two strange voices, and looked at Yelu Sarui beside him.

Yelu Sarui stepped forward quickly, bowed and said softly, "Report to the Empress, there are two princesses. The princess returned with the captain's son-in-law and wanted to be married by His Majesty, but in the end..."

Surido lightly raised her jade hand and interrupted Yelu Sarui's words, and she was no longer interested in the latter.

Suriduo came closer, and the maid opened the door for her. When Suriduo entered the inner room, he saw two sister-in-laws kneeling in front of the bed and crying.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with my brother?" Qing Guo turned to look at Surido, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.

Looking at Qingguo in pink clothes, Suriduo's face was calm, and his tone did not fluctuate at all, "Aogu and the imperial doctor have confirmed that Abaoji has injured his head. He can breathe and have a heartbeat but cannot communicate and wake up. It's called stupor."

Qingcheng asked unwillingly, "Sister-in-law, can't even Aogu do anything?"

Surido shook her head, stopped stopping, turned and walked outside. She originally wanted to taunt, but now she lost interest.

When Surido walked to the door, he stopped and said in a cold voice, "Your eldest brother is half dead now, all we can do is to keep him breathing. As for your marriage with the captain-in-law, I will personally host it later.”

The hearts of Qingguo and Qingcheng seemed to be pressed by an invisible giant hand in the icy cold pool.I thought it would be a happy event to come back, but now it seems that the saying that misfortune and good fortune depend on each other is really true.

……

Consort House,
Yelu Abaoji still kept his promise and built a mansion for Zhang Zifan, as the wedding house for him and Qingguoqingcheng in the future.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see it.

"Nephew, do you feel that the atmosphere in Mobei King City is not right?" Li Cunyi was on the roof of the consort's mansion, watching the soldiers coming and going in Ulaanbaatar with a flustered look on their faces.

"The iron cavalry of the Mobei royal family has just stepped through the northern border to govern the Gaz Khanate and the Hanlang Khanate. It is the time when the momentum is like a rainbow, and it will probably go south to the Central Plains in a few days. Now Jin and Mobei are married. I don't know if it is a blessing or not. Woe."

[Note; the former is the Western Regions, and the latter is in the area of ​​Lake Baikal in Russia. 】

Zhang Zifan was sitting next to Li Cunyi with a jar of wine. He hoped that Mobei would be strong enough to help him conquer Qin, but he was also afraid that Mobei would be too strong to rule the Central Plains. Although he was Mobei's son-in-law, he was still a Han.

At Xushi, Qingguoqingcheng returned from the palace, Zhang Zifan saw the reddish eyes of the two, and his heart skipped a beat.

Before he could ask, Qing Guo, who couldn't hide the matter, said, "Zhang Lang, my elder brother... he's dying."
-
Five days later, on the 23rd of June, the [-]th day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, Chonghou (Gengshen) will be in the east, and [God of Wealth] will be in the south, suitable for marriage!
In order to celebrate the joy of the imperial city, the wedding ceremony of the eldest princess and the second princess will be held at the [-]rd hour of the hour today, and will be held in the ancestral temple.

The marriage of a princess is a beautiful story of two daughters serving one husband together. It is well known in the world. On the street leading to the princess's mansion, there are ten miles of red makeup. From the street to the end of the street, red ribbons are tied on the trees all over the city.

Because Mobei people don't pay so much attention to marriage, this time, these scenes happened because of taking care of the son-in-law who is Han.

Because there was an endless stream of crowds on the streets on both sides, the common people lined up and cheered, and some young children chased and threw flower petals along the way.

The crowd at the back of the street stood shoulder to shoulder, and all of them stretched out their heads to watch the big wedding, which was rarely seen in a century.

The carriage approaching the auspicious time to get married started from the son-in-law's mansion in an orderly manner and headed towards the princess' mansion.

Zhang Zifan was riding on a majestic tall horse, wearing a big red official uniform with a big red flower hanging on his chest.

Inside the gate of the Princess Mansion, red silk brocades were decorated at some point, and red silk flowers hung high on the corners of the eaves and porch, on the plum branches and osmanthus trees.

Behind Zhang Zifan was the wedding party. The convoy arrived in front of the Princess Mansion. Boxes of betrothal gifts were neatly placed in front of the gate of the Princess Mansion. There were also boxes of money, combs, rulers, bronze mirrors, and so on.

"The auspicious time has come!" The servant of the princess mansion opened the door after hearing this. The red brocade carpet could not be seen at a glance, and the maid sprinkled flower petals all over the place where the country and the city passed.

Behind the round fan, the bride smiled shyly, and the two brides held each other's hands and walked out slowly to the red lotus, with green clothes and plain hands.

As brides, they wear multiple layers of wide-sleeved dresses and chest-length skirts, and put a blue wide-sleeved top on the last layer of wide-sleeved gown.

The color of wedding dresses is mainly inner infrared green, and it is generally believed that green is a color that symbolizes auspiciousness and vitality.

In the Tang Dynasty, the groom and the bride’s clothing collocation was generally red for the groom and green for the bride, meaning red men and green women.

The turquoise wedding dress is matched with gold, silver and colored glaze on the head, and the bold color contrast makes the wedding dress more grand and magnificent.

Qingguo Qingcheng covered her face with a round fan, and walked slowly to the carriage to welcome the bride. Zhang Zifan helped the two of them by the hand and sent them to the carriage, and the motorcade headed towards the ancestral temple.

Now that Zhang Zifan has seen the matter, Qingguoqingcheng treats him very well. After Li Cunyi's persuasion, he doesn't care so much about his appearance.

Now there is only the last step left to complete the wedding, that is the blessing of the ancestors.
-
In front of the ancestral temple,
Surido is still wearing a yellow palace dress, but she put on her favorite purple mink to resist the wind and sand.

There are civil and military officials behind him. It is a small matter for the two princesses to get married, but it is a big matter to pray to the Changshengtian.So they can't be absent.

Suriduo looked at the Chuicuidada welcoming team, with a look of envy in his eyes. He and Yelu Abaoji back then were not as grand as they were, but rather simple.

When Yelu Abaoji was born, it coincided with the most chaotic time when the Khitan aristocrats were vying for the position of leader of the alliance.

Abaoji's grandfather Yelvyunde was killed in the brutal political struggle, and his father and uncles also fled and hid.

Because the wives of the leaders of the Diela tribe in the past were Suriduo, and Suriduo's mother remarried midway.

She became the wife of Yelu Abaoji, what kind of dowry gift could a small tribe that was driven around to come up with.

Surido has not even experienced the most basic running through the curtain opening, fire worship songs, parents worship, and blessing songs.

……

His thoughts were interrupted, Surido reached out to wipe the moisture from the corners of his eyes, and sighed softly, the past hard days are over.

Now she is the king of the entire Mobei!All of this was done little by little by her.

Surido stopped paying attention to the welcoming team, and turned to look at the ancestral temple behind him, which was supervised by the shaman Aogu's lineage.

A three-storey circular hall with double eaves and gilded roof, blue tiles and red pillars, and resplendent paintings caught Zhang Zifan's eyes.

The Ancestral Temple is the most important place in the Khitan Kingdom (official title), even Zhang Zifan has never been there.

The ancestral temple adopts the structure of upper hall and lower house.Designed according to the idea of ​​"respecting Changshengtian", the roof of the hall is round, symbolizing the roundness of the sky, and the tiles are blue, symbolizing the infinity of Changshengtian.

The upper floor enshrines the Longevity Heaven, which can only be handled by Aogu's lineage, and the lower floor is where the tablets of the ancestors are placed.

At this time, Aogu was wearing a strange costume of the gods and stood in front of the ancestral temple with a mask. An antler on each side of the shoulder was connected to a gray feather coat behind her.

Zhang Zifan speculated that it might be the feathers of vultures, which might symbolize freedom.

Zhang Zifan walked slowly leading Qingguo Qingcheng, and began to worship the ancestors under the command of the ritual officer.

Aogu stood indifferently in front of the ancestral temple, holding the teaching scepter and began to chant softly, "Xuan Ling is honored, and he will live forever. Taixuan Trinity, keep his true form. Longevity Tianzun, everyone is safe."

After the words fell, the scepter in Ao Gu's hand slammed to the ground, and the surrounding air was shaken.In an instant, everything was silent, and ripples came from where Aogu's scepter fell.

Many masters present only felt their bodies sink, as if they were being watched by something, and people such as Surido also tried their best to straighten their backs so that they would not bow their heads.

And those ministers were even more unbearable and fell down in pieces like wheat, prostrate on the ground, and Aogu stood in front of everyone and held up a scepter to bless the newcomers.

Zhang Zifan was horrified, there was such a thing in Mobei, and as the ancient language in Aogu's mouth became faster and faster, the clouds split and a beam of light appeared.

The beam of light shone on Zhang Zifan's body, making him feel as if his body was going to fly into the sky lightly, and even with the internal force in his body, he was moving a little faster.

The horror on Zhang Zifan's face couldn't be concealed, could it be that he really has immortality! !
The copper bell on Aogu's scepter began to jingle, and the green light radiated from the center of Aogu's eyebrows. She began to pray and divination for Yelu Abaoji.

Circles of ripples erupted from Ao Gu's body, if Yuan Tiangang and Li Yu could feel the surge of aura here again.

It was as if the whole world was responding to her! ——
On the other hand, Li Cunyi went out from the son-in-law's mansion. He heard about Yelu Abaoji, so he wanted to check it out to confirm the guess in his heart.

But he also knows that once this step is taken.What kind of ending will greet him? Li Cunyi has just entered the back garden and entered the palace.

After leaving all the servants, Li Cunyi came to the palace of His Majesty the Khitan Kingdom. With trembling hands, he lifted the bead curtain that blocked his sight.

The next moment, Li Cunyi's pupils constricted and his body was wet with sweat. He guessed right, that person was really...

At this time, there was a sound of a copper bell, and a huge force directly pressed on his body.

Li Cunyi didn't check for a while because of his mental shock, he just knelt down on his knees, lying on the ground with his whole body, and the bones on his body made a "cracking" sound of beans popping open.

Li Cunyi had bulging veins on his arms and neck, and his face was flushed. He didn't know what happened, what happened.

The ground under his knees shattered and cracked, and the traces of sneaking into the palace can no longer be covered up!
