‘Bang, bang, bang…’

"Where is the gunshot?" Suddenly, a burst of muskets came from outside. Lu Xiufu stood up in shock and asked loudly.

"Report to the left prime minister, it should be His Majesty who led the army to pay tribute to the martyrs who died in his country!" The in-person follower looked out the door and replied.

"Oh, nothing will happen, right?" Lu Xiufu asked with some concern.

"The Prime Minister Lu didn't know that it was a custom in the army to pay homage to the victims and fire guns and cannons. There was no need to panic." Wen Tianxiang had followed His Majesty to fight, knew the rules, and waved his hand.

"Zhang Li, did you see Your Majesty in Wuhu Mountain with your own eyes?" Lu Xiufu nodded, but was still uneasy and asked his follower again.

"The Left Prime Minister, the young man only gave it back after seeing it with his own eyes." Zhang Li said, "The young man saw His Majesty, accompanied by Commander Chen of the Guards, lead a team of guards to Wuhu Mountain, and contributed all the sacrifices he received for drinking today to the martyrs' tomb who died for his country. The young man seemed to hear His Majesty say from afar..."

"What did Your Majesty say?" Wen Tianxiang asked anxiously when he saw him hesitating.

"The little one was afraid of disturbing Your Majesty. He was a little far away and could not hear clearly. After seeing Your Majesty saluting, he seemed to be talking about the incident in Jiazi Town that year, saying that the time of drinking blessings was only a little bit, and each person only gave it a little bit. Although there were fewer things, everyone was very happy to eat. Today he took the sacrifices he received for the tomb to share with everyone... Anyway, Your Majesty cried and laughed, and the little ones said could not understand the little ones." Their personal followers reported on what they saw and heard at that time.

"Later, the army searched for His Majesty and came over. Seeing this, they did not persuade His Majesty to return. Instead, they also offered all the sacrifices they had all been distributed in front of the tomb. There was no shortage of each tomb. Some even put several copies on it. Some people couldn't help but feel sad and burst into tears. Seeing that more and more people came, and His Majesty was not in danger, they rushed back and reported."

"Does Lu know what's going on?" Wen Tianxiang only understood the story, but did not understand the hidden truth.

"This matter is a long story." Lu Xiufu sighed, "At that time, the Prime Minister Wen was still in Jiannan Kaifu. When Xingchao was defeated, Quanzhou had just gathered his troops to rest in Jiazi Town. Because all the troops suffered heavy losses and were extremely scarce in food and supplies, the Quanzhou volunteers and soldiers who followed Xingchao were scattered around and had no food and clothing. His Majesty took the initiative to gather the volunteers who had protected the chariots and the orphans who had been wandering here, and placed them in his own chariots, and then publicly worshiped the officers and soldiers who died in the bloody night of Quanzhou."

"At that time, there was no action in the court. In order not to be too embarrassed, he just ordered Governor Liu to go and pay tribute to him. The little emperor's move made the army respectful. There were thousands of volunteers gathered in Quanzhou for a time. I think that at that time, His Majesty had not opened a mansion, and eating was a problem. Wherever there was money, the sacrifices were pieced together. However, it was a rare delicacy for the brave men who could not fill their stomachs for a long time. Drinking blessings attracted Chen Dun. He led a group of wandering children to compete for it, and was finally subdued by His Majesty. So that public memorial was of far-reaching significance to His Majesty, and it could also be said to have an important impact on today's court!"

"Oh, I understand." Wen Tianxiang nodded and said, "Your Majesty formed the General's Office to take these bravery teams. But who would have thought that it was these scattered soldiers who actually became important officials in the court and pillars of the country!"

"Not only that, Your Majesty took in a large number of orphans and refugees, and organized them into the old camp, and never left them in the most difficult times. Those who were skilled among the refugees were the backbone of the current imperial craftsmen, who built muskets, artillery and warships. Those orphans either entered the army or entered school or became officials under the personal guidance of His Majesty. At present, the backbone of the guards, the pastoral officials of the prefectures and counties came from the old camp, and they could be said to be scattered in various government offices in the Song Dynasty." Lu Xiufu said.

"Well, it's no wonder that the guards in front of the imperial guards are loyal to His Majesty. Generals at all levels of the imperial guards obey their orders. It turns out that they still have such a connection. It can be seen that His Majesty is definitely not the kind of king who can only share hardships and hardships, but not wealth. After many years, he can still remember and go to pay tribute to his own guilt." Wen Tianxiang said with emotion.

"This is why Your Majesty can still mobilize the army and control the government even if he is not in the court. In their eyes, he only uses His Majesty, but does not have the court. Those who try to be unfavorable to Your Majesty have underestimated the relationship between their monarch and his subjects. It is a life-and-death relationship, and it is harder to get apart than to ascend to heaven!" Lu Xiufu said with emotion.

"This is also a blessing for the Song Dynasty. We are so lucky. If my life had not been rescued by Your Majesty, it would have been abandoned on Yashan. How could the train magistrate today?" Wen Tianxiang said. Thinking about the fact that the young emperor had also opposed the public and restored his post. Moreover, his favor has remained unchanged for ten years. Even if he died, he would not be able to repay his kindness.

"The great Song Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore my Central Plains!"

"The great Song Dynasty is mighty, Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Expel the Tartars and restore my Central Plains!" As he spoke, waves of mountain cry came from outside, surging and turning among the mountains...

After the imperial tomb was finished, Zhao Bing took a boat back in the palace and arrived at the palace outside the city in the evening. All officials welcomed him. The next day, at dawn, he took a Da'an chariot and set off from the Wulu carriage. When he entered the city, there were already a squadron of the Jiaofang, and he was cheering. Later, the music was loud and the army also played drums. Thousands of riders rushed into the city like clouds and tides. People from all over the world watched along the way until they entered the palace city. The Jiaofang platoon was also cheering and sang and danced. After the singing and dancing, Zhao Bing went down to the chariot to rest for a while and prepared to climb the city for four amnesty.

When Zhao Bing came again, after a series of ceremonies such as whip and music, the court officials stood in squads. Lu Xiufu came out to scold him to stand the imperial edict under the Jinjimen. The official immediately responded to the promise and Xuan was appointed by the imperial edict. After the rooster was raised, he then made another torture. The imperial edict was brought out and handed over to the chief minister Liu Fu. After he knelt down, he asked for the imperial edict to "spend the three provinces". He then handed over the imperial edict to the prime minister. The cabinet gate opened and opened it to the imperial edict, and read it from the imperial edict. The ministers bowed to the "Everyone pardon and eliminated it". After reading it, the prison level was removed from the shackles, he had already waited for the prisoners who were waiting to pardon and answered, shouting long live the three years, and singing out.

In Zhao Bing's opinion, these people were rehearsed and asked them to set off the atmosphere to show the great grace of the emperor. After the promulgation was finished, the clerks at the door, the Privy Councilor and the Secretariat of the Secretariat bowed two times. The clerks at the door held the clerks to be given a clerk to the ministers, the prime ministers were given a clerk to the ministers of the Ministry of Justice, and the clerks were given a clerk to the court. After the clerks were given a clerk to the prison room, the clerks returned to the ranks to pay two bows, delivered speeches, danced three dances, and kowtowed three times. Then he answered again, singing and dancing and hitting the bell, which was nothing more than showing grandeur and majestic, but the complex ceremony almost wiped out Zhao Bing's patience, and then the imperial edict was issued.

At this moment, all the states and Jinzouyuan had soldiers waiting for the site. After the amnesty was announced, they would go to various places to send edicts. According to the past practice, Taipingzhou, Wanzhou, and Shouchun Prefecture should be first issued to Taipingzhou, Wanzhou, and Shouchun Prefecture to take the words "Taiping Wanshou". However, these prefectures are currently in enemy-occupied areas, and the Song Dynasty does not have any control at all, but it is not difficult for the clever ministers of the Song Dynasty to forgive the Qiongzhou Prefecture. This time, the Wan'an Army, Jiyang Army and Changhua Army were first issued to take the words "Wan'an Changji".

After the imperial edict was completed, the onlookers did not disperse. At this time, Zhao Bing discovered that there was a climax at the back. The highlight of everyone waiting for seemed to be climbing the golden rooster pole. However, this was also a new thing for him. The golden rooster pole was five feet long, with a chicken height of four feet high, and a golden ornament with a crimson flag seven feet long, carrying a colored plate and a red rope. After asking privately, he found out that the golden rooster pole refers to a ceremony in which the emperor issued a pardon edict to set up a golden rooster on the pole to show auspicious days, and used it to represent the "Tianji Star". It was one of the ancient star officials, belonging to the twenty-eight constellations and the seven constellations in the north.

Furthermore, the rooster is not a chicken, which is also called auspicious bird, which is the phoenix bird we call, which is the benevolent bird in the minds of the ancients. But Zhao Bing knew that no matter what kind of bird it was, it had nothing to do with the political affairs on the earth. After processing, it can be cleverly linked to the amnesty, which reflects the power of the heavenly emperor to rule the life and death. In addition, in the hundreds of plays, there is acrobatics of the acrobatics, which is commonly known as the climbing pole, performing various dangerous skills on the erected long poles. The rod can be erected on the ground, on the forehead, and on the car.

In the Song Dynasty, the people of the Song Dynasty, who were full of entertainment, combined the pardon ceremony with the 100 operas of the Rod. In addition to being majestic and solemn in the past, it also had a festive atmosphere, which really responded to the serious and lively words. The final climax was that the four acrobats standing in all directions of the golden rooster rod climbed the pole along the four hanging ropes, which was called "Holding the Golden rooster". Of course, this name was not a white crawler. The person who climbed to the top of the rod first shouted "Long Live", and Zhao Bing was going to give the rewards. In addition to a collar of the valerian coat and ten pieces of silk, there was also a silver bowl weighing three taels...

All who should be told, those who should be worshipped have also worshipped, and Zhao Bing's wedding date is here. But before marrying, there will be a grand ceremony. In addition to saddles and horses, there is also a 100 taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, thousands of pieces of satin, gold and silver tea sets and silver basins. More importantly, establish a "fair" and this is the ceremony of enthroning the queen.

The emperor held a grand ceremony in Daqing Hall, announcing the appointment of a certain daughter as the queen, and handed over the golden seal to the team of special envoys, the left prime minister and the Privy Council, and was ordered to escort the queen's golden seal, and the golden seal to the empress's mother's house, and declared to the empress's father and brother, and then the female officials of the accompanying palace read the envoy to the empress. The father-in-law led the whole family to kneel at the gate to greet the wedding party, and the empress's empress's empress's empress's edict loudly. Amid the drum music, the sedan chair guard carried the empress's ritual carriage, the dragon pavilion, into the front yard, and then carried the eunuch to the boudoir in the backyard, and parked in auspicious direction designated by the officials of the Imperial Heavenly Supervision. The bride wore the queen's dress, wearing a phoenix crown and a red robe, and appeared brightly, kneeled to receive the gold book, gold treasure, and returned to the "lou" to wait for the auspicious time.

These days, the father-in-law's mansion has been a general mobilization of the whole mansion. No one can be idle, renovating the houses and sanitation. Although it cannot be overwhelmed and makes it as brilliant as the palace, it must also be dazzling and try to make people feel that they are a match. Just the whole mansion, the whole family, the whole family, and the whole family, are very busy, let alone having to dress up, arrange wedding banquets, and widely distribute "wedding invitations"!

The bride is not idle either. Under the guidance of the female officials in the palace, she naturally needs to dress up when she is married. After bathing, she has to repeatedly use skin care agents made of mung bean powder as the main raw material, Western Regions perfume, knead the dough and rub the body; then use facial cleanser made of honey, rose petals and other raw materials to apply it gently with high-quality paper films that are rare in court ministers; and use skin cream made of mutton fat, white scent and other raw materials to apply it repeatedly. The last step is to smear powder on the face, draw eyeliner, apply eye shadow, draw green eyebrows, and apply red lips; then tinker with two pieces of cheeks on the two faces.

As for the hairstyle, of course, you have to choose according to the prescribed style. It has a "level" and it would be bad to be like a concubine. Whether it is the romantic "flying bun" or the novel "climbing bun", you should consider the convenience of wearing a phoenix crown and the face shape of the bride. The two strands of hair should "droop naturally" no matter what, like the flowing cicada wings, which makes the emperor's son-in-law shine when he sees it.

As soon as the auspicious time comes, the introspective Wang De asked the queen to dress up, and asked the queen to put on a veil, and respectfully sent the queen to the sedan chair. The queen was carrying the sedan chair for sixteen people. The eunuchs and palace maids were holding Tibetan incense furnace in front of them, forty red-clothed guards held the lamp, and hundreds of officers held forty pairs of pole lamps and forty pairs of lanterns. The civil and military ministers led the front and rear to the imperial city in a vigorous manner.

As early as the day before the welcoming, the palace was already decorated with joy inside and outside the Forbidden City. Colored frames were built with big red ribbons in front and behind the palace, with big red double-happy characters, auspicious couplets, auspicious patterns, and paper-cuts everywhere. The imperial road was covered with red carpets, with hundreds of pairs of street lights on both sides of the imperial road, and countless colorful lanterns were arranged like a magpie bridge in the sky.

When the auspicious time comes, the bride will rise to the carriage. The large group of people and horses pass through the front gate and enter the palace along the imperial road. At this time, bells and drums on the city tower will ring. The team enters the imperial city from the entrance of the middle gate of the palace gate. The queen enters the door and rings the bells and drums. The squad welcomes the official to retreat. Then he lowers the carriage and enters Duanli Gate, Wende Hall, East Shang Pavilion Gate, and exits the back door of Wende Hall, and enters the inner east gate.

After arriving at the harem gate, the queen entered the ceremonial guards, the eunuchs and palace maids lined up to slap the streets and slapped their hands to "warmly welcome". At His Majesty Dan, the envoys welcomed the bride and returned to the court. Amid the drums and music, officials of the Ministry of Rites presented the queen's golden book, gold treasure, and relevant people to display them in the hall. The rituals where the bride sat were led, carried, supported, or followed, sent to worship the heaven and earth, and delivered a great gift.
