On June 16th, the imperial court officially issued an edict to appoint Zhao Yuan, Prince of Pu'an County, as the Prince of Supervision to exercise the power of supervising the country. Zhao Yuan changed his name to Zhao Shen, and Zhao Gou personally gave him the title "Yuanyong". The edict stipulated that the military affairs of the court should be All matters, no matter how big or small, must be approved by the prince before being reported to the emperor for inspection before execution. When discussing matters in the court, the prince sits beside the throne and listens to the ministers' discussions. When the emperor does not attend the court meeting, he will reply to the ministers' memorials on his behalf. Discuss.

As soon as the edict was issued, officials from all over the country came forward to express their congratulations, and there was a chorus of praise from top to bottom.

On June 17, the Prince of the Supervisory State approved the joint petition of Yushi Zhongcheng Shi Hao and Privy Councilor Zhang Jun, formally redressing the unjust imprisonment of Yue Fei, Zhang Xian and others. The unfair treatment that the main fighting faction received was also redressed. The imperial court He issued an edict to summon the descendants of Yue Fei and Zhang Xian to the capital to appease him, ordered the Privy Council of the Political Affairs Hall to investigate unjust cases during the war, and rewarded and comforted the generals and their families who resisted the Jin soldiers during the war.

The edict was issued and the people celebrated. Someone took the lead in raising funds and began to build a temple to commemorate Yue Fei at the southern foot of Qixia Mountains in the northwest of West Lake. Craftsmen and people from all over the city spontaneously came to help, and the Temple of King Yue was initially completed in just more than ten days. Some people built a statue of Yue Fei. Sitting in the main hall, hanging above the head is a plaque written in Yue Fei's handwriting, "Give me back my rivers and mountains." At the same time, supporting facilities were built, and a large amount of money was spent to obtain Yue Fei's remains to build a tomb. There is an endless stream of people, and the incense is flourishing, which lasts for thousands of years.

Qin Xiqing's father and brother were also among those who rehabilitated Zhaoxue and restored their reputation this time. Qin Xiqing's father and brother fought hard to resist the enemy in Sizhou and died on the city wall. However, they were considered by the court to be an act that undermined the peace agreement. They were not only ineffective but guilty. The reason why Qin Xiqing established Wanchun Garden to spy on Zhao Yuan was because Zhao Yuan promised her that he would rehabilitate Zhao Xue for her father and brother in the future.

After the imperial edict came down, Qin Xiqing set up an incense burner in the back garden of Fang's family to pay homage to Sizhou City in the north, and to restore their reputation and praise their families. Zian was by his side.

"Dad, brothers, your reputation has finally been restored. For so many years, you have been vindicated for sabotaging the peace agreement. Xiqing is so happy. For so many years, you have sacrificed your life for the country but have been blamed for it. I'm afraid that Quanxia It's hard to live in peace. Xi Qing is incompetent. It took so many years to clear your grievances. Now that father and brothers have been posthumously awarded official positions by the court and commended by the imperial court, you can rest in peace. Father, brother, you know well. Rest in peace and rest your eyes. Xiqing is living a good life now, everything is fine. Xiqing has also found a lover to entrust her to for the rest of her life. He has also done his best for your affairs. I hope you can feel at ease. In a few decades, Xiqing will grow old. At that time, our family will get together under the spring again."

With tears streaming down her face, Qin Xiqing knelt down in front of the incense table to comfort her father and brother.

Fang Zian also knelt down and prayed: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law are here, and my son-in-law Fang Zian is here to comfort your souls. Don't worry, I will take good care of Xi Qing, and she will be very happy. Now the old thief Qin Hui is gone Fu Zhu, you can rest assured. I heard from Xi Qing that you fought bravely against the Jin soldiers in Sizhou and died on the battlefield. The imperial court has made a report about your affairs and sent it to various state capitals in the Song Dynasty. More people will be there I know your heroic deeds. I heard Xiqing say that after you died in the battle, your corpses

I don’t know where they are scattered. Today, the city of Sizhou is still in the hands of the Jin people. My son-in-law swears here that one day he will take Xi Qing to Sizhou to retrieve your corpses and bury them. That is also Sizhou. You will defend it with all your life.

When the place is recovered."

Qin Xiqing listened, feeling pleased and moved. The remains of her father and brother were unknown, which was also a worry for her. She actually only said it once, but Fang Lang obviously remembered it in her heart. Fang Lang always kept his word, and he said he would help find it.

Remains, that will definitely go.

"Xiqing, don't be sad. Your father and brother's grievances have been settled, and you can rest in peace. From now on, you can live a carefree life without having to bear this worry anymore." Fang Zian said to Qin Xiqing.

Qin Xiqing turned around and bowed to Fang Zian, who asked, "What's going on?"

Qin Xiqing said: "If it weren't for Fang Lang's efforts, why would we be here today? Although it was the imperial court who issued the decree, the actual credit lies with Fang Lang. Counting on the prince... No, now that he is the prince, it won't happen."

Fang Zian smiled and said: "You can't say that, at least he has this intention. Yes, the prince is now the prince. The prince wanted you to follow her at first, but you followed a poor boy like me. Do you want to follow me now?

Do you have any regrets? If you follow the prince, you may be the princess in the future."

Qin Xiqing changed her expression and said, "Why do you say such things? What do you think of me, Qin Xiqing? If I, Qin Xiqing, am greedy for wealth, how many rich and high-ranking officials in this city want to marry me? Please don't say such things to me in the future."

Fang Zian groaned and quickly coaxed: "It's all my fault. It's all my mouth. I don't hold back anything, and I don't have any sense of propriety when I'm joking."

Qin Xiqing was actually just feigning anger. Fang Zian followed behind and apologized for a long time, then he also chuckled.



Time flies and the end of the month is here in a blink of an eye.

June 28th is an auspicious day.

The wedding of Fang Zian and Shi Ningyue will be held today. For this wedding, everyone in the Fang family has been busy. Decorating the house and new house, preparing carriages and horses, greeting people, preparing banquets, and issuing invitations, Qin Xiqing

Chun Ni and Shen Ling'er were very busy.

The Fang family actually has a lot of people. After the house was ransacked, a pair of servants were arrested, but Lao Huang and the others were originally from Wanchun Garden. They all came back after Fang Zian and others came back. Qin Xiqing's own personal daughter

There are also about ten maidservants, and there are dozens of people in the house, making it a lively family.

But even with so many people, they are still very busy and the preparation work is exhausting.

In the early morning, a hundred-person welcoming team composed of soldiers from the fire army followed Fang Zian to the gate of Shijia in Liuyeer Hutong with great fanfare. The maids of Shijia blocked the door and asked for red envelopes. Fang Zian was there early.

Being prepared, ingots of small silver ingots were thrown out. The servants and maids of the Shi family were all smiles. They forgot to use any of the tricks they had planned to make things difficult for them. They took the silver and opened the door to the house.

The group of wedding maids led by Chunni surrounded Fang Zian and went straight into the back house. After paying homage to Shi Hao and Mrs. Shi, they came to Shi Ningyue's house. After throwing money again, the door of the courtyard was opened wide, and the Shi family's Xi Po supported her.

Shi Ningyue went out.

Shi Ningyue was wearing a red wedding robe and a hijab. Under Shi Hao's smile, Mrs. Shi's tears, and amid the joy and bustle of the people around her, she got on the sedan. Then the wedding team paraded along Donghe Street with great fanfare.

.

The total number of people attending the wedding party and the wedding party was quite large, with a total of one hundred, sixty and seventy people on both sides. The historians also spent a lot of money, and the dowry was extremely generous. There were everything from tables, chairs, benches, to buckets and urinals. There was everything to eat.

The historians prepared everything for wearing, covering, and playing with flowers. There were dozens of kinds of fruits and meat cakes to eat, dozens of clothes for men and women in spring, summer, and autumn, and gold and silver jewelry and hairpins to wear.

There are seven or eight sets of bracelets and rings, and all the furniture and supplies for carriages, horses, servants, and even the thrush's cage are brought.

That's all. The most eye-catching ones are the three large items specially carried by the servants of the Shi family. The first item is Jin Ruyi made of gold. One hundred taels of gold are used, which indicates a hundred years of good luck and good fortune. The second item is a golden Ruyi.

The first piece is a cabbage carved from jade. It looks like a cabbage carved from a whole piece of jade. The leaves are rolled up, white with green in the middle, lifelike and extremely valuable. It indicates the meaning of rolling wealth. The third piece is a living animal.

It is a tall red horse with a red body and a fur like fire. This is a rare breed. Shi Hao bought it at a high price and gave it to his son-in-law Fang Zian. It naturally symbolizes Fang Zian's success and the dragon-horse spirit.

The common people were extremely envious and followed the discussion all the way, secretly praising the richness of the dowry and the grandeur of the ostentation.

In addition, what people are most interested in and talk about the most are the few loads at the end of the team. They are three pairs of boxes. The mouths of the boxes are open, but inside are bundles of books tied with red ribbons.

"Hahaha, Mr. Shi is really a scholar. How can you give books as a dowry? If you wear a red ribbon, it is also a book. It's really interesting."

"It's strange, but the historian's son-in-law, Mr. Fang, is also a scholar. He is a former concubine, and Miss Shi is also a well-read poet. What's wrong with the couple studying at home?"

"Oh my, I'm so envious when I think about it. As the saying goes, reading at night with red sleeves and fragrant fragrance, this pair of gods and immortals really only envy the mandarin ducks but not the immortals. When will I be able to get to this point? There is no official family.

The young lady is interested in the superior, and the inferior is full of knowledge, but her talents are not appreciated..."

"Come on, scholar, you are at your level, and you are full of knowledge. The poems you write are worse than those of oil-oiled poets. You look like a crooked melon with cracked dates, but you still want to reach the sky in one step? Come on."

"You don't know how to appreciate... I can't tell you, a rude person like you... You don't know how to appreciate... ugh..."

Amidst the lively sound of gongs and drums and the discussion of the people on the street, the huge wedding team returned to the Fang family mansion and stopped in front of the Fang family's mansion. The smiling Yingshang, who had already been waiting for the Fang family's wife, came and helped the newlyweds get off the sedan and cross the brazier.

, speaking auspicious words, walked straight into the front hall along the red velvet carpet.

Later, in front of the heaven and earth tablets, amidst the singing of the master of ceremonies, the newlyweds held the red silk ball in their hands, bowed three times and became officially husband and wife. When the couple bowed to each other, the trumpeter in the yard played the song "The Sapphire Case"
