A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 156
Before dawn, Huaiyu woke up.

Today is a big day.

On the ninth day of August, a good day, the prince will be located in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace.

Since the fourth day of June, everyone has been looking forward to this day. At first, people in the Qin Palace were looking forward to it. Later, basically everyone was looking forward to it. Even the emperor Li Yuan was looking forward to the early abdication of Inner Chan. The facts are already like this, if the ceremony is completed early, everyone will feel at ease.

Those in the past will also be turned over, and everyone can look forward from now on.

Today is not only a big day for the prince, but also a big day for all the original Qin royal party.It has been more than two months, and the crown prince has not rewarded the confidants of the Xuanwu Sect, civil and military, for their meritorious service. Everyone knows that they will be sealed sooner or later, but they all want to be sealed sooner.

It's safe to put it in your bag.

"Erlang is so handsome today."

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Fan Xianji came to change Huaiyu's clothes early this morning. Last night she came to meet her future father-in-law and got Lao Wu's nod. She was left behind by the eldest sister Yu'e at night, and the eldest sister-in-law and younger sister-in-law chatted half the night.

"Your eyes are swollen. You didn't sleep well last night with my eldest sister. Are you not used to it?"

"I've been chatting all the time. Eldest sister told me about naughty things about you when you were young. She also said that year when you fell into the water in Fenglingdu, was taken away by a Taoist and then disappeared... Eldest sister really hurts you." Fan Xuanfu Some envy the relationship between Wu family siblings, this family is very close to each other.

"I was brought up by my elder sister when I was young, can you not kiss me?" Huaiyu smiled, "Aren't you very dear to your younger brothers, and you even beheaded the mounts of seven noble children for them before, full of love Everyone in Chang'an knows that Mrs. Fan loves her younger brother the most."

······
Today is the crown prince's enthronement ceremony, and Li Shimin will wear the Dagon Mian, according to the uniform system established by Tang Wude.

The emperor ascended the throne, offered sacrifices to the state, reported to the ancestral temple, sent generals to the expedition, the emperor personally conquered, adults married wives, and the New Year's Day dynasty all wore this set of crowns.

There are twelve white beads strung on the front and back of the crown, and the clothes have twelve chapter patterns.

Carry the sun and the moon on your shoulders, and carry the stars on your back.

As a subject who participated in the enthronement ceremony, Huaiyu is now a fifth-rank official, and a fifth-rank founding baron. Today he will wear the most solemn dress.

Compared with the usual court clothes of Shuowang court attendants, the dress is one level higher. On the head is a Xuanmian, which is similar to the emperor's crown, but only has three crowns, and the big robe on the body has no seal pattern.

In contrast, the officials of the first rank are nine-chambered and nine-chapter, which is also the Mianmian, the second-rank is the Mian of seven-chamber and seven-chapter, the third-rank is the Wumian of five-chamber and five-chapter, and the fourth-rank is the Ximian of four-chamber and three-chapter After reaching the fifth rank of Huaiyu, there are only three unmarked Xuanmian left.

For officials below the fifth rank, there is no crown clothes, only court clothes.

Putting on the three-pronged crown, Huaiyu even felt a bit like a duke himself.

Fan Xuanfu looked at Huaiyu who was wearing a full set of mianfu, and was dazed in a daze, his eyes were full of little stars, when people in Tang Dynasty get married, ordinary people would borrow the uniform and wear the officials' Jianggong uniform.The dukes wear mianfu, and those below the fifth rank also wear Xuanmian.

Nobles like Huaiyu wear this Xuanmiao when they get married.

Fan Xuanfu looked at him, feeling a little dazed, as if it was already their wedding day, the time of the bridal chamber.

"I'm going first, I can't lose my manners today."

"Go." Fan Xuanfu collected his thoughts and smiled slightly, "I will go to the East Palace to meet the Crown Princess after I pack up later."

Although Fan Xuanfu was not a married woman, she had already received the palace's order, and today she was going to the palace to meet the crown princess, and she represented the female family members of Rongguo Duke's mansion.Although Fan Xing is now the Duke of the state and has taken many concubines, he has never married Xu Xian, so Fan Xuanfu is naturally the head of the house.

As a representative of the Rongguo Duke's Mansion, Fan Xuanfu will wear a Tin Chai gown, Nine Tin, her father is Cong Yipin, so she can put nine golden emerald Tin on her head.

After Huaiyu left, Fan Xuanfu returned to the mansion and began to make up.

Looking at the bundled up bun, the golden emerald flowers inserted on the hair, and looking at herself in the bronze mirror, she smiled,

"Big lady is so beautiful today." said the maid who was doing makeup.

"is it?"

Fan Xuanfu thought that when he got married in the future, he would wear this dress to marry Erlang, so he couldn't help but feel even more happy. Those slender eyebrows and slender eyes narrowed into slits with a smile.

Putting on the wide-sleeved cardigan, long skirt, and cloak, Fan Xuanfu became more and more satisfied, and even felt a little impatient to get married.

"Aye didn't come back to Beijing on such an important day." She sighed, Fan Xing led the army and couldn't return, and the marriage proposal was delayed, which made her very anxious.

······
Huaiyu went out early.

Today, there are many personalities on the streets of Chang'an City. Officials big and small in Beijing will participate in this grand ceremony of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, as well as local officials, chiefs of various feudal clans, and envoys.

Many officials were surprised to see that Huaiyu was wearing a three-pronged xuanmian at such a young age.

"Who is this young nobleman?"

"The closed disciple of Zhongnan Yinxian Xiaoyaozi, the founding man of Daling County, the envoy of the Qianqi Battalion, the young supervisor of military weapons inspection, the general of the hospital, and now a celebrity." Someone recognized this young and ambitious Lang at a glance. Jun.

On the way, more and more officials gathered, and many people took the initiative to say hello to Huaiyu.

When we came outside the East Palace, it already felt like a sea of ​​people. There were countless officials and a large number of guards and servants.

Everyone came early, for fear of being late, some people who lived far away came earlier.

As soon as Huaiyu arrived, Duan Lun, the supervisor of military weapons, told him to go over. His current class is no longer in the worship class of Zhongshu Province, but a class by rank, which is the fifth rank class.

"When Erlang wears this Xuanmian today, he is really energetic." Duan Consort praised.

"Ji Guogong, your nine-pronged and nine-chapter crown is truly powerful."

The last time Li Shimin personally went out of the city to attack the Turks at night, throwing palm thunder was very enjoyable, and severely suppressed the arrogance of the Turks. He was very happy. He not only directly promoted Wu Huaiyu as a young prisoner, but also gave rewards to the military supervisor, Duan Lun He also won the reward, which made Duan Lun, who had been sitting on the bench for several years after returning from Yizhou, very happy, and regarded Huaiyu as his lucky star.

Duan Lun took him to chat together, and specially explained to him a lot of rules and etiquette that should be paid attention to in today's big scene, which is of great help to Huaiyu.

When the time comes, the gate of the palace opens and the amulet enters the palace.

As a fifth-rank official, Huaiyu, who was wearing a Xuanmian, could only stand at the back today.

Li Shimin ascended the throne in the Xiande Hall of the East Palace, but Emperor Li Yuan did not come.

Today's scene is indeed grand, but for Wu Huaiyu, he didn't get to enter the palace, and he just listened to those people preaching.

I didn't dare to mess around in the slightest, and followed the process honestly, almost tossing for a day.

When the grand ceremony is over, the new emperor decrees that the East Palace will give a banquet.

Huaiyu, a man from Daling County and a young supervisor of military weapons, unexpectedly received an edict from an internal servant and was qualified to enter the palace to participate in the palace banquet, which aroused the envy and jealousy of a group of fifth-rank officials nearby.

Today's palace banquet, those who can participate are not the princes and prime ministers, but Hou Boshangshu's servants, or foreign envoys, the ordinary five ranks are really not even qualified to enter the palace.

Huaiyu specially ordered to enter the palace for the banquet, and to accompany the last seat.

There are a lot of acquaintances in the palace, such as Yi Guogong Qin Qiong, who will be right in front of the prince, and the warrior Xun, who he didn't meet last time when he went to Xianyang. He went back to Chang'an Yongzhou Yamen to handle official business, and today he sat relatively close. There is Su Guogong Cheng Yaojin, who is also next to Qin Qiong.

Samurai Leng, the old patriarch of the Wu family, is also here today, and his fourth-rank official is much ahead of Huaiyu.

Most of the people next to Huaiyu didn't know each other, and they just sat there drinking and eating food honestly.

The palace banquet was very lively, but Huaiyu was sitting at the entrance of the hall, and the people around him were unfamiliar, and he didn't dare to make a fuss, it was purely a matter of making up the numbers.

Thinking about when to finish and go home early, seeing Ji Guogong Duan Ma standing up,

"Your Majesty, on today's day of great joy, the Military Weapons Supervisor has a gift to present."

"Oh?" Li Shimin also drank several glasses of wine today, his face flushed.

Duan Lun presented fireworks.

When Huaiyu taught craftsmen in Shenjifang, he also talked about the application of gunpowder, including making fireworks, how to blow them up to the sky, adding different materials such as copper powder and iron powder, and making the fireworks explode in the sky. Different colors such as purple, red and green.

He didn't expect that Duan Lun would quietly make fireworks when he wasn't there for the past few days, and he would set off fireworks to celebrate today's grand ceremony.

Li Shimin smiled and agreed.

The Imperial Army brought craftsmen to the square to set off fireworks,
Duan Lun invited the emperor and princes to watch the fireworks show on the palace tower.

Huaiyu is not qualified to go to the palace tower, so he can only watch it from the corridor on the first floor.

In the night, the craftsmen of Shenjifang lit fireworks.

With a sound of screaming, those fireworks really flew into the sky. Although the jump was not high, they successfully exploded in the air, and then blossomed into blossoming fireworks.

Red, purple, green, several colors.

The bang bang bang, and then fireworks bloomed all over the sky, like a miracle.

All the officials watching looked up and stared blankly, especially the leaders and envoys of some foreign states and foreign countries, who were even more stunned.

Duan Lun is very proud.

This was the idea Xu Jingzong gave him. After this guy knew that gunpowder could make fireworks, he suggested to Duan Lun to make some quickly and burn them at a grand ceremony like today to celebrate the new emperor.

The fiery trees and silver flowers are indeed brilliant.

Many ministers were also amazed, and someone said, "Maybe this is the legendary palm thunder?"

Li Shimin's face was flushed with a smile.

Among the hundreds of officials behind him, Wei Zheng, an advising doctor, had a gloomy face. He had just returned from Hebei and successfully appease the old Ministry of Jiancheng Yuanji in Shandong, Hebei, and Li Shimin also named him the Baron of Julu County as promised.

Upstairs in the palace, many officials were admiring the splendor of the fireworks and praising the new emperor.

Wei Zheng stepped forward.

"Your Majesty, minister Wei Zheng wants to impeach Duan Lun, the military supervisor, as well as Wu Huaiyu, the young supervisor, and Xu Jingzong, the prime minister. There are useful things, but they make these strange and obscene things, which waste money, food and material resources, and are only for people's entertainment. Is this what a minister should do?

Please hold Duan Lunwu, Huaiyu, Xu Jingzong and other officials of the Military Weapons Supervision accountable for the crimes, and strictly investigate the top and bottom of the Military Weapons Supervision! "

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne, and some people began to go out of their way to flatter and flatter. This case must never be opened, and must be severely punished, so as to respect and emulate you!"

Wei Zheng stood up, went to the military supervisor in public, pointed at Duan Lun, and sprayed him all over the face with saliva!
