The grand ceremony of marrying Tang Pang was second only to marrying the royal concubine on the same day.
The military nobles in the court, even the founding heroes who had retired and returned to their hometowns and needed support when walking back home, all wore brand-new uniforms and entered the palace to express their congratulations.
The emperor's grandson married the granddaughter of the Tang family. This was another marriage between the Zhu family and the martial arts group. The political implications it brought were far greater than the joy of the wedding.
Many people are even secretly thinking, why didn't the old emperor choose a concubine for the emperor's grandson directly among the nobles? Why did he have to find it among the people?
The emperor's grandson himself is a combination of the royal family and the family of military commanders. Wouldn't it be better for the next generation to do the same?
Although the scene is not bad, the etiquette should not be overstepped. The newlyweds choose to enter in the evening. They take a soft sedan from the Shenwu Gate at the north gate of the palace, pass through the Shunzhen Gate, and arrive at the East Palace.
Along with Tang Fatty came a dowry of one hundred and twenty-eight dollars from the Tang family.
Then, under the guidance of the etiquette officer, with Zhu Yunxi in front and Tang Pang supported by the palace servants, they slowly walked towards the main hall where the old man and all the distinguished officials were.
From the beginning to the end, Tang Pang wore a red hijab and walked slowly and steadily.
Under the setting sun, next to the palace lantern, the two people's figures were stretched very long.
Zhu Yunxi suddenly discovered that this fat girl from the Tang family was actually half a head taller than him. Then, he remembered the two long legs of the other party on the horse when he watched the other party enter the city from a distance last time.
Tsk tsk, women are taller than men, that’s not good!
Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, the top and bottom are not aligned, the posture is very weird!
In the Tian'an Hall next to the Fengtian Hall, the old man and the distinguished ministers smiled and watched the newlyweds arrive. The old man sat on the dragon chair. Tang He, because of his physical inconvenience, half-reclined in a grand master's chair.
When the old man saw Zhu Yunxi and Tang Pang entering the palace, he smiled and said to Tang He, "Beautiful son, beautiful wife, big mouth, you and our brothers have a fight. When you are old, you have become the in-laws of your grandchildren. In this life, you and I will also be together."
It’s a beginning and an end!
Old minister! Tang He tilted his mouth and thanked Your Majesty for your kindness!
Don't say these kind words, you take good care of your health. I will miss you in the future, and I will come to the capital more often to talk to you! The old man continued to say softly, we are getting older, we can't remember some things, and our memory is not very good!
Although he was speaking to Tang He, he was also heard clearly by the nobles around him.
These words made everyone feel mixed.
The old prince's words had something to say. He said he had a bad memory and could not remember past events. Everyone had their own thoughts on what the purpose was.
A few years ago, when the old emperor killed the heroes, everyone was in danger. In recent years, because of the emperor's grandson, the old emperor has been much tolerant of the heroes. This marriage is the best signal.
The emperor is old, and the future belongs to the emperor's grandson!
The grandson comes to see Grandpa Huang!
In the main hall, Zhu Yunxi and Tang Pang leaned forward and kowtowed.
Get up! The old man smiled and said, Dasun, come forward and talk to Tang He!
Yes! Zhu Yunxi stood up, held Tang Pang, who was covered with a hijab, with a red silk tie, slowly stepped forward, and stopped in front of Tang He.
Chen, I am not in good health and cannot give gifts! Tang He said with difficulty.
Old Duke, we are all from the same family, don't talk about two families. We are so happy today, so those false etiquettes can be dispensed with! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Tang He tremblingly stretched out a hand, and Zhu Yunxi stepped forward to hold it.
Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please do not give up and give me dignity! Tang He said weakly, Your Majesty, I am about to die, please give me some grace!
Zhu Yunxi felt a little uncomfortable when he saw his appearance, and said gently, "Speak! Listen!"
This child is pampered. If there is any disobedience to His Highness, please be patient!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, this is natural!
If the children and grandchildren of the old minister are useful, His Highness will use them. If they are not usable, His Highness will abandon them! Tang He also said, if they have any faults, Your Highness does not need to take care of the old ministers, and they need to be dealt with according to the national law!
Everyone knows that if nothing else happens, this will probably be the last time Tang He comes to Beijing, and it will probably be the last time he talks to the Emperor Taisun and His Majesty.
When the founding veteran met Tian Yan for the last time, what he said was not that he prayed for his children and grandchildren, but that he had a public heart, which inevitably made people feel heartbroken.
In fact, this is great wisdom. He knew clearly that after Tang Pang married Zhu Yunxi, the Tang family would definitely rise again. He was afraid that his children and grandchildren would lose control and become arrogant and indulgent. He has something to say here. If anything happens in the future, Zhu Yunxi will also be determined
There won't be really severe punishment.
It seems to me that the men in the old man's family are all outstanding good men. They can fight when they are mounted, and they can manage the army when they are dismounted! Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, in the future, I will use them more!
Tang He smiled slightly and looked at his hijab-covered granddaughter, Fatty! After marrying the grandson of the emperor, you will become a member of the palace. You must serve His Highness well and be virtuous and virtuous, okay?
Tang Pang, who was wearing a hijab, shook his body and choked with sobs, "My granddaughter has remembered it!"
Tang He's only movable hand fumbled around his waist, and after a while he carefully took out a jade pendant, and continued, "Although you are a girl, your grandfather taught you since childhood that a person should be like jade, with a warm and crystal clear heart. Take it,
From now on, seeing this piece of jade will be like meeting your grandfather!
Zhu Yunxi reached out to take it, and then put it into Tang Fatty's hand. When his fingertips touched, he could feel the other person's discomfort.
After talking a lot in succession, Tang He's face became a little flushed and his breathing fluctuated.
The old man said from the side, "Big mouth, stop saying a few words and let the children toast you!"
Logically speaking, Zhu Yunxi was the grandson of the emperor, and Tang He could not accept it. But today, many rituals have been overstepped under the instruction of the old man.
Zhu Yunxi and Tang Pang served wine.
The former bowed his head slightly, while the latter knelt down and toasted Tang He.
Okay, okay! Tang He took a big sip directly, cough, cough! He took a sip of wine, spit out half of it, and started coughing violently.
The old man stood up directly, doctor!
No, Your Majesty! Tang He coughed and said, today is a happy day, don’t call those spoiled doctors! Say, smile, I can drink, I will meet Your Majesty and these old brothers later, get drunk and then rest
!
The old man seemed to have a premonition of something. He turned to Zhu Yunxi and said sternly, "You go first and come back later!"
Zhu Yunxi understood, nodded heavily, and turned around with Tang Fatty.
The two of them left the main hall and returned to the East Palace.
On the way, Tang Fatty suddenly said, Your Highness, my concubine’s grandfather, is it...
Don't think blindly! Zhu Yunxi advised, I will send you there first, and then go to the main hall to have a look!
At this time, the wind blew by, carrying the smell of powder from the opponent's body.
But Zhu Yunxi had no other thoughts. He settled the other party with kind words and asked the palace officials to look after him carefully before quickly returning to Fengtian Palace.
~~~
Cough! Cough!
In the hall, Tang He was sitting on a chair, coughing violently. What he coughed up was not wine, but bright red blood. But he still drank stubbornly, even though he was out of breath from coughing.
Imperial doctor! The old man roared.
Old soup!
Brother Tang!
Many of the founders of the country, veterans of the Tang Dynasty and the army, shouted out regardless of the rules and regulations, and their anxiety was palpable.
In particular, Fengxiang Hou Zhanglong, who came specially from Chuzhou, leaned over Tang He and said loudly, Tang Dazui, don't scare me until you die!
They came from the same village, and their friendship lasted from wearing crotchless pants to the end of their lives. They spent their lives fighting side by side among the dead, each protecting the other's knives.
Where is the imperial doctor? The old man continued to roar.
Your Majesty, no need! Tang He suddenly grabbed the old man's hand and said with a wry smile, "I can't even drink wine. I'm so useless. I guess I have to blow out the lamp and pull out the wax!"
Nonsense! The old man said anxiously.
The old man has killed many heroes in his life, but his treatment of Tang He is particularly different. Facing his old friends at this time, he feels anxious from the bottom of his heart.
Your Majesty, my life has been worth it! Tang He spoke intermittently, as thin as a gossamer, following you, glory and wealth. Damn it, the young lady from a rich family is here. I have eaten delicacies from the mountains and seas. I wear a lot of honeysuckle, and my daily life is eighty-five.
Seat, above ten thousand people!
There will be good days in the future, but we won't allow you to die! You dare to die like a fool, I...I will whip you when I get there! The old man's eyes are red.
I wonder if there are corrupt officials or dog Tatars in the underworld. I will go first and help you find out. Tang He tilted his head and stubbornly refused to let the light in his eyes fade away. He shouted to the surroundings, brothers, I
Maybe I missed. Damn it, I have to get ahead of you killers!
As he said that, he suddenly used all his strength to raise the wine glass in his hand, brother, drink! He poured a glass of wine into his mouth.
Your Majesty, I will still follow you in my next life!
The old man has a sour nose and a big mouth. In the next life, we may not still be emperors!
Don’t be afraid, I’ll follow you and kill! If you kill someone else to carve out the fucking emperor’s throne, I’ll do it for you!
As he spoke, he stared wide-eyed, sang aloud, held the steel knife ninety-nine, killed all the barbarians and let it go, I am a man, what can I do to be a Tatar...
...Horse...Cow!
With a bang, the golden cup in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.
With the last word, Tang He smiled and closed his eyes.
Big mouth! The old man shouted.
Old soup!
Brother Tang!

Zhu Yunxi ran quickly outside the palace and was suddenly stunned.
In the hall, the hoarse cries of many old people could be heard.
