The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

A moment later, the procession of welcoming and seeing off the bride had turned around.

The reception officer from the Ministry of Rites stood in front of the gate of Gaofu early. When the car came to a stop, he loudly announced: "Get out of the bride and get on the saddle."

Empress Roufu, supported by her married maid, holding a round fan to cover her face, lifted the bead curtain from the Chongzhai carriage.

In front of the car, let this high favorite sit down in the saddle when fighting on the battlefield.

Behind the saddle is a scale.

"Stand across the saddle and scale, it's safe and sound." The reception officer from the Ministry of Rites shouted again at the top of his lungs.

Duan Yuyan, who was watching the ceremony in front of the Gao Mansion, patted Yan Zongxian and asked: "What do you get married for when you Jin people get married?"

Wanyan Zongxian smiled awkwardly and said: "Crossing the threshold."

What he actually meant was that the golden man got married. Even if he was a member of the royal family, he was very simple and plain before. He would just pick him up and throw him on the bed, and do whatever he had to do.

There was a groan in the house.

Drinking and eating meat outside the house.

When it comes to etiquette, there is almost none.

Especially before Taizu of the Jin Dynasty launched his army, the Jin people were still in the early stage of civilization. It was not until the destruction of the Liao Kingdom and the entry of Liao ministers into the dynasty that there was a slight change, but it was limited to marriages within the royal family.

"We in Dali stand across the brazier to burn evil spirits." Duan Yuyan introduced.

Wanyan Zongxian nodded and explained to Duan Yuyan: "Song people's method of crossing a saddle has been very popular since the Tang Dynasty, and it means peace. What's the meaning of your method of crossing a brazier?"

"It's evil to burn." Duan Yuyan said with a smile.

Wanyan Zongxian thought thoughtfully: "That's right. I heard that witchcraft is prevalent in Dali, so it should be burned."

Duan Yuyan:......

After getting on the saddle, Emperor Roufu entered from the middle gate of Gao Mansion.

The ceremony officer trotted in again: "The bride is sitting in the empty tent."

The so-called sitting in a virtual tent is to take Emperor Roufu to a side room. There is a tent hanging in the middle of the side room. There is a soft tent inside, and the bride enters the tent and sits in it.

Among the people in the market, it is also called sitting in wealth.

Once this ass goes down, it will be full of glory and wealth.

As for the groom, who is highly favored by officials, he will go to the central hall of the mansion.

In the middle hall, a bed had already been set up, and a high chair was placed on the bed. Under the guidance of the etiquette officer, Gao Chong sat on the high chair.

This is called a high seat.

People in the Song Dynasty also attached great importance to the ritual of sitting on a high seat.

Ouyang Xiu said in "Guitian Lu": "The son-in-law sits high as a sign of etiquette."

Afterwards, the guests toast and invite the groom to sit down.

In the order of toasting among the people, the person with the most respect from the village comes first, but now, it can only be based on the official position.

First came Li Gang, Li Bangyan, Sima Pu and other prime ministers, and then came the ministers. By the time the round of respect was over, Gao Chong was already a little tipsy.

"The groom's official is really drunk." Gao Kaisheng said with a smile: "If there were more yamen, I'm afraid the marriage wouldn't be possible today."

Brother Richard also laughed at the side and said: "This prince-in-law doesn't drink well. If he doesn't drink well, he must have fighting skills..."

"Ahem!" Wanyan Zongwang coughed: "This prince-in-law is a brave golden-armored general of the Song Dynasty. He has a Damascus spear in his hand, which is unstoppable."

Brother Richard didn't believe it, so he took a closer look at Gao Chong who was sitting high up there. He didn't look so muscled and rugged.

"My wealthy and talented Wanyan, who has great silver skills and beautiful women, including Wanyan's wife, have all fallen into his hands." "Huh?" Brother Richard was surprised and said: "No wonder the Song Dynasty royal family married off. Di Ji and him, this is a great reward."

Brother Richard would naturally not doubt Wanyan Zongwang's words, and therefore concluded that the removal of Emperor Roufu should be the Song court's reward for this person.

But these words aroused the displeasure of the third princess who was not far away from them: "What is a reward? In your Xixia, women are only used for rewards?"

If someone else spoke to Brother Richard like this, Brother Richard would have to fight back.

But Yelu Yuliyan, he didn’t dare!

After all, she has a relationship with her own queen, Yelu Nanxian.

"My subordinate made a mistake. Third Princess, please forgive me." Brother Richard bowed slightly to express his apology.

Yelu Yuliyan snorted coldly: "Men are not good at all."

Everyone:...

The last person to make a toast and ask the bridegroom to sit down. Logically, the mother-in-law should be the one to toast, but Emperor Roufu’s biological mother died early, so the ceremony officer originally wanted to omit this step. Just when he was about to ask Gao Chong to sit down, he Seeing Emperor Daojun sitting in the middle hall, he suddenly stood up and said, "Here comes the wine."

When the chamberlain waiting next to him heard this, he quickly picked up a glass of wine and handed it to Emperor Daojun respectfully.

Emperor Daojun held the wine cup and walked to sit down with a smile on his face.

He raised his head and looked at Gao Chong who was sitting upright, and said with a gentle smile: "Gao Chong, you will be my uncle from now on. Huan Huan's biological mother is no longer here. I will drink with you with this glass of wine."

After saying that, he held the wine cup in both hands and handed it over.

Although Emperor Daojun is no longer an official of the Song Dynasty, he is still an emperor after all.

Toast people as an emperor...

Still looking up.

This greatly shocked the members of the diplomatic missions who were watching the ceremony in the house.

Gao Kaisheng sighed: "Even if my Gao family is in Dali, I can't stand the emperor being like this."

Brother Richard muttered: "This is very disrespectful to me, Xixia."

Only Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "What the hell, in my days in Dajin, I have also done this to pull the emperor off the throne and whip him."

Gao Kaisheng and Brother Richard both looked at Wanyan Zongwang: "Brother Zongwang is mighty!"

While the three of them were talking, Li Bangyan came over and said, "Hey, how can this be the same? Wanyan Zonghan dragged Wanyan Sheng off the throne, which was a show of power to Wanyan Sheng. As early as the beginning of the war between you and me, , our officials of the Song Dynasty have said that no one of the three forces of the Jin Kingdom at that time obeyed the other. But it is different now. At the moment, I, the Daojun Emperor of the Song Dynasty, act according to etiquette. This is called the supremacy of etiquette and law and equality of rights."

"Huh? What is Li Xiangguo talking about? Equal rights?" Wanyan Zongwang asked in confusion.

How can there be equal rights in this world?

If everyone has equal rights, why would the imperial power be needed?

Prince Li Renai of Xixia, who had not spoken until now, and who was following Brother Richard, smiled and said: "Although I am not as familiar with the classics as the Han people, I also know that the king is the guide for the ministers, and the father is the guide for the son... If it is the guide, how can there be peace? "

"What a waste!" Li Bangyan said with a smile.

Li Renai once again felt that the Song Dynasty seems to be crazy now?

Why is everyone so deviant?

The theory of the Three Cardinal Guidelines was proposed by Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty and has been regarded as the ultimate principle by the Central Plains dynasties and even the entire world.

It would be fine if others said something deviant, but Li Bangyan was also the Prime Minister of the Song Dynasty, so how could he speak like this?

"You all don't know. In the recent period, our Song Dynasty is rewriting the classics. The words of the saints are not entirely correct. According to what our officials say, there is no one-size-fits-all standard that spans the past and the present. The important thing is to keep pace with the times and adapt to local conditions." Li Bangyan chuckled.

Li Renai, who has studied the Central Plains dynasty deeply, also smiled and said: "Don't you always do this?"

Li Bangyan didn't understand the meaning of these words and looked at Li Renai with a puzzled face.

Li Renai bowed and explained: "Li Xiangguo, what I mean is, hasn't the Central Plains Dynasty always found the basis for solving current problems in ancient books and the sayings of saints?" (End of this chapter)
