The Six Arts of the Gentleman in the Bright Moon of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1139: Welcoming the Bride [Subscribe*Monthly Ticket Request]

A new emperor appoints new ministers. It has never been about the fierceness of the struggles in the court or a matter of standing.

Rather, the emperor and his courtiers are like the green mountains and pine trees, complementing each other.

China gave Qin Xiaogong a Gongsun Yang, gave Ying Zheng a Li Si, and gave Yan Yan an An Qisheng.

This is the mutual achievement between the ruler and his subjects.

Any wise ruler is not just the king himself, but also the court officials of the same era.

"When Prime Minister Xu Anqi got married, the Yulin Guards, the Red Flame Cavalry, and the Blood Cavalry led the way!" Yan Yan continued.

An Qisheng did not leave the Beiye Royal City, but the bride had to be brought to the Royal City from Yanmen Pass.

So even though Anqisheng was unwilling to spend lavishly and publicize it, Yan Yan still gave Anqisheng the highest courtesy.

The three armies lead the way, which is a regulation only for the king's wedding. An Qisheng can be said to be the only minister in history who has received such high regulations.

Li Ren, Zhao Gao and the nine ministers of Bingzhou had no objection either.

In order not to add more pressure to them, An Qixiang even found time to get married. What else could they say?

"I'll arrange it right away!" Li Ren nodded.

In fact, what he wanted most was for the Jinyiwei to lead the way!
After all, the Jinyiwei are the emperor's personal guards, and all of them are elite selected from various guards. They are above average in both martial arts and appearance. After all, as the emperor's personal guards, they also represent the face of Bingzhou. If you are not good-looking, you are not qualified to be selected as Jinyiwei.

However, the Yulin Guards, the Red Flame Cavalry, and the Blood Cavalry were all carefully selected by Bingzhou. Apart from the fact that there were no requirements on appearance and some of them were of varying quality, they were also able to represent the face of Bingzhou.

Besides, it's not necessary to mobilize all the Yulin Guards, Red Flame Cavalry and Blood Cavalry for An Qisheng's wedding. Wouldn't it be enough to select those who can drink and are good-looking from the three armies?

In the end, Li Ren, Dian Qing and Meng Tian selected 800 people from the Yulin Guards, Chiyan Cavalry and Xueqi as the wedding guard to go to Yanmen Pass to welcome the bride.

Even the bridegroom was Luo Bing, one of the four generals of Bingzhou!

It’s not that other people are not capable of doing this, but Luo Bing is the only one who is not married!
However, Yan Yan did not tell An Qisheng about these, as he regarded it as a surprise for An Qisheng's wedding.

"The Imperial Guards, the Red Flame Cavalry, and the Blood Cavalry are all here!"

Inside Yanmen Pass, all the civilians and soldiers were shocked.

After all, Yanmen Pass is far away from the royal city. They have seen the Red Flame Cavalry and they also have the Blood Cavalry, but the Yulin Guards are rarely seen.

"That's nothing. Didn't you see that the team leaders are our General Zhenxi, General Luo Bing, and Lord Ruoshui?"

A captain recognized Luo Bing.

As for why they knew each other, it was because they all graduated from Gaoquesai Military Academy, and Luo Bing was also the honorary academic supervisor of Gaoquesai Military Academy and would occasionally teach there, so for these captains, Luo Bing was also their teacher.

"By order of His Majesty, I have specially led the Imperial Guards, the Red Flame Cavalry, and the Blood Cavalry, and the three armies to come and marry the Prime Minister, Lord Hengshan and his two daughters!"

Luo Bing, dressed in auspicious clothes, sat on his horse and said with a smile to Gongsun Nu who came to greet him.

"This..." Gongsun Nu had never expected that An Qisheng's wedding would have the entire military coming to welcome the bride.

"Please come in, Lord Ruoshui!" Gongsun Nu still smiled and walked forward to invite Luo Bing and the three military guards into Yanmen Pass.

"Mr. Hengshan hid very well!" Luo Bing and Gongsun Nu were old acquaintances, and they joked with a smile.

If An Qisheng hadn't said it, they wouldn't have known that Gongsun Nu had quietly done such a big thing. But if you think about it carefully, it seems quite normal.

Gongsun Nu had the least battle record among the four generals of Bingzhou and had always been training troops in the rear, so he had more opportunities to contact An Qisheng, who stayed in Beiye Wangcheng to preside over the overall situation, than them.

But then I thought again, it has been nearly ten years since Gongsun Nu was transferred away from the royal city. If An Qisheng had contact with Gongsun Nu's daughters at that time, how old would Gongsun Nu's two daughters be at that time, maybe eight or nine years old?

"Hiss~" Luo Bing didn't dare to think any further. It was too cruel!
"Ahem..." Gongsun Nu was also a little embarrassed.

In fact, he hadn't even thought about it.

That was last year when Han Fei got married. He brought his family back to Beiye Royal City and attended a banquet in the royal palace. Then he introduced young and strong generals of the Bingzhou army, such as Luo Bing, Meng Tian and Han Xin, to his two daughters.

As a result, neither of the two daughters liked him, but he fell in love with Anqisheng, the head of the civil servants.

When I came back I told him that I was shocked by Gongsun Nu at that time.

If it was the top generals in Bingzhou, he could still say something with his status, but that was the prime minister of Bingzhou, one of his superiors!
But he couldn't stand his two daughters' nagging, so he had to ask with a serious face.

It turned out that An Qisheng didn’t even know his daughter!
This is very embarrassing.

I thought there was no hope, but who knew there would be a sudden turn of events. Anqisheng's family had simple requirements for his marriage partner: a good family background, good character, good personality, and good looks.

His family was a great noble family of the Wei State. He himself had once been the Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei Wei General. Now he was one of the four generals of Bingzhou. His family background was well matched with that of the other two.

As for the rest, as a noble family, he is naturally professional in the training of female relatives. As for appearance, he is not bragging, his two daughters are both stunning beauties in the world, not to mention that they are rare twin sisters.

"I heard that Ruoshui is also very close to the Snow Girl of Yuefu!" Gongsun Nu said with a smile.

In fact, he had also set his sights on Luo Bing at the beginning. He was young, rich, powerful, and had no family problems. He was a hot commodity in the eyes of all the dignitaries in Bingzhou.

Luo Bing just said, "Do you still want to be my father?" and then he was sent away!
"Let it be!" Luo Bing smiled and shook his head.

Anqisheng is busy, and he is no less busy.

The Zhenxi General's Mansion has the largest jurisdiction among the four towns in Bingzhou. It is responsible for the Juyan Lake and Ruoshui areas, the Western Regions, the Hetao, and the Hexi Corridor. If he had not been unable to find an unmarried person this time, he would not have come.

Gongsun nodded numbly. How could the four generals not be busy?

Doesn't he himself have to act as a nanny for the Eastern Army?
"Why didn't Prime Minister Anqi come?" Gongsun Nu asked curiously. It wasn't because he felt that Anqi didn't value or respect him, but he was simply curious.

This is the first time in the world that the person involved does not come in person to welcome the bride.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is very busy with official duties and cannot spare the time!" Luo Bing still explained in a low voice the importance of An Qisheng in Beiye Royal City.

Gongsun Nu nodded, and the slight discomfort in his heart disappeared.

After all, Bingzhou is different from those countries that have been established for a long time. There are many things to be done, and it is a makeshift team. Anqisheng needs to do everything himself and provide personal guidance and instructions. It is difficult for him to find time to get married.

"Also, I have another piece of news for you!" Luo Bing said with a smile.

"Please speak!" Gongsun Nu became even more curious.

"Hengshan is getting his daughter married, and the master of ceremonies is the Taoist master, Heshang Gong!" Luo Bing said seriously.

He Shang Gong's status in the Hundred Schools of Thought is at the same level as that of Heguanzi, Chisongzi, and Xunzi. What's more, An Qisheng is He Shang Gong's disciple, and it is impossible for He Shang Gong not to attend his disciple's wedding.
