In the fifth year of Chongzhen, life in the Ming Dynasty was still not easy. In fact, the money in the national treasury was very difficult, so the emperor Zhu Youjian and the cabinet thought that everything could be simplified in the grand ceremony. However, even if this kind of state affairs were simplified, there would be a set of procedures.
After finishing it, it was still very painful. Some procedures cannot be simplified in any way, such as the state banquet before the ceremony.
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, when everything begins, the state banquet is also held in Wengshan Garden. Wengshan Garden is a special place. During the previous dynasty, Wanyan Liang used this place as his Jinshan Palace. Later, after Zhu Houzhao, Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty, succeeded to the throne, Jianweng Garden was
mountain garden
.The gardens in the Wengshan area are densely packed, and it can be said that you can still see the lush scenery in winter. A few years ago, Wei Zhongxian took this place as his own, and it was later taken back. The later Summer Palace was based on the Wengshan Garden, and all the gardens
Connected.
This place once served as the Jinshan Palace, so it is always a bit inappropriate to hold a state banquet here. I don’t know who suggested it. It’s just a no brainer. Is there a Dodo among the guests attending the state banquet this time?
"Supervisor, when we arrive at Wengshan later, we have to be more careful with Duoduo!"
Before Zhou Dingshan finished speaking, Xiao Ruxue on the other side took over, frowned and said with a smile, "Dingshan is too worried, this is our territory, how can the supervisor still suffer?"
In the time of Xu, Zhong Tiemo and Xiao Ruxue went to Wengshan Garden, accompanied by dozens of personal guards and Zhou Dingshan. Now the reputation of the Northern Tiger General of Shanxi is known throughout the world, and Zhou Dingshan is the most powerful among them.
Wengshan Garden, as a royal garden built by emperors of all dynasties at a huge cost, is naturally unique in scenery. Even at night, the beautiful scenery of the garden cannot be concealed. The night is still a bit cold, but Zhu Youjian asked people to put flowers in the garden
I bought some moonstones, and the garden felt warm.
.Walking in the magnificent royal garden, Tie Mo didn't have much impression, but Xiao Ruxue was filled with emotion. When entering Wengshan Garden, he would naturally meet some acquaintances, but what Tie Mo never expected was that he just didn't expect
When I arrived at the garden, I met an old acquaintance, Houjin Beile Dodo.
Tie Mo was wary of Duduo's appearance, but Duduo acted very naturally. He learned Han etiquette, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "Xiao Wang heard about the congratulatory ceremony and came all the way from the East China Sea. Fortunately, the date was not missed!
"
What Duduo said is very interesting. He dared to call himself Xiao Wang, but a small Baylor from the Houjin Kingdom actually called himself Xiao Wang.
Hey, the old cat salutes the mouse. Does he want to open his mouth to eat?
Speaking more carefully, Tie Mo has dealt with Duduo before, and he knows a little bit about Lord Houjin Beile. The Jurchens are a group of evil wolves that grow up among the white mountains and black waters, and Duduo is a real person.
The leader of the wolf pack, would such a ferocious wolf be respectful to the sheep?
?Of course not. If the wolf does this, then he has only one purpose, which is not to cause the sheep to be wary, so that there will be less obstacles when he bites in the future. Tie Mo is naturally not a sheep, he thinks he is a tiger, but
In Doduo's eyes, he believes that someone is still a sheep after all.
Looking at Dodo, a playful smile appeared on Tie Mo's face. He seemed not to understand Dodo's thoughts at all. He reached out and patted Dodo on the shoulder, laughing and saying, "Easy to say, what will happen after Ten Baylor?"
Just ask me. Oh, I heard that Shi Beile’s mother’s milk supply is not enough. If Ten Beile doesn’t mind, I happen to have a few dairy goats at my house, which I can give to Ten Beile for use.”
Tie Mo's voice was not quiet. Many people he spoke were confused. What did Tie Mo say? There was a banquet for the ministers in Wengshan's garden. On such a grand occasion, it was actually given to the queen.
Jin Shibeile has a few dairy goats. Are they generous, or are they poor? Many people think that Tie Mo is not good at talking, but a cold light flashed in Doduo's eyes, and the ruthless look flashed past.
.What a Tie Mo, he is really sharp with his words and refuses to give in every word. Will his Duduo be short of milk? Haha, is this Han man calling him Duduo a sheep's kid?
Sheep, in the Ming Dynasty, were just sheep and livestock, but to Duduo, they were a great insult.
In the Jurchens, sheep is the name for slaves. Whenever they return from an expedition with great victory, all the Jurchen tribes will gather in front of the beacon tower in Shenyang Mansion to hold a grand sacrificial ceremony. Among all the ceremonies, the "Sheep-Leading Ceremony" is the most solemn and the most common.
The Sheep-Leading Ceremony, as the name suggests, treats the captives as sheep. At that time, the captured nobles will wear sheepskins and goat horns and kneel and climb three times clockwise around the beacon tower, and then kneel and climb three times counterclockwise. This is a two-legged sheep.
For meat, provide a gluttonous feast. In the eyes of the Jurchens, the tens of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty are just a group of two-legged sheep. But today, Tie Mo told Dodo in another way that in the future, those Baile will be the queens.
They put on sheepskins.
The two-legged sheep is not only an insult, but also a challenge. Duduo slowly stood up straight and showed a carefree smile, "Haha, please pay more attention to me, the dairy goat in Xiao Wang's family."
There are too many to count. If there is not enough, Xiao Wang will come and get it himself. Supervisor has many things to do, so I won’t trouble Your Highness for such a small matter."
Come to get it in person? Are you going to lead the troops south, occupy the beautiful Ming Dynasty, and snatch the men and women to use as dairy goats? From Duduo's eyes, I saw a kind of overwhelming confidence. How could Tie Mo be afraid of him? He curled his mouth and narrowed his eyes.
, said with a faint smile, "That's fine, but when I was in northern Shanxi, I learned how to roast whole lamb from the Mongols. Recently, I and the hundreds of thousands of soldiers have become obsessed with this roasted lamb. So.
Ah, Ten Beile must be more careful. If all the lambs are snatched and used as roasted whole lambs, Ten Beile will have no milk to eat in the future."
The loss was really too great. At this time, Duduo was no longer as relaxed and carefree as before. Instead, he had a dignified look. If he wanted to treat the Jurchen warriors as sheep, he must have this ability.
"I hope the supervisor can have a good time!" Duduo has decided not to quarrel with Tie Mo anymore. In terms of bickering, he is really not Tie Mo's opponent. He hands over and walks away, but his mind is still on Tie Mo.
Fortunately, Tie Mo was not the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. If this son had monopolized power, the Kingdom of Jin would suffer.
Tie Mo and Duo Duo were quarreling with each other, but not many people could understand. Most people thought that the two were chatting about barbecue and dairy goats. The atmosphere seemed very harmonious, like a pair of old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years.
Of course Duduo is not an old friend, but a powerful enemy by birth.
"Gee, you are really a nostalgic person. As soon as you come here, you drag Ten Belle and talk non-stop!"
With laughter like a lark, under the dim light, a woman dressed up walked up. The woman had an orange gold-rimmed gown, a long sleeved robe, and a long hem. Her black hair was pulled up, and there was a ring on her forehead.
Wearing a silver peacock hairpin, heavy make-up and light makeup, she has a charming face. She is elegant and beautiful, and her temperament is just like that of Hai Lanzhu. She seems to be born to be so otherworldly, with light eyebrows sweeping across, and a bit wise.
Looking at Zhang Yan, who was as touching as a peony flower, Tie Mo tilted his head, bowed his hands, and chuckled, "Your Majesty, it's a little late to come. I haven't seen you for many days. Your Majesty is even better than before... Haha."
....”
Before she finished her sentence, Zhang Yan blushed on her face, gently gouged out Tie Mo, and turned around to walk towards Xiao Ruxue.
"Xiao Ruxue from the slave family has met your empress!" Xiao Ruxue bowed slightly.
Zhang Yan had already heard that Xiao Ruxue was a rare genius who managed the family business prosperously even though she was a weak woman. Zhang Yan was sizing up Xiao Ruxue, and Xiao Ruxue was also sizing him up.
Zhang Yan. Xiao Ruxue admired Queen Yi'an very much. As the widow of the late emperor, she could gather all the
The disaster relief has helped His Majesty solve many troubles. What's more valuable is that he has secretly helped Tie Mo a lot. Tie Mo has been able to build the foundation of Nuo University in the past two years, especially Zhang Yan, who has contributed a lot. If she hadn't lived in the palace
In order to deliver news and court updates in a timely manner, Tie Mo's life might not be so easy.
At the end of the Xu period, Zhu Youjian's golden umbrella came to Wengshan Garden.
When His Majesty arrived, all the ministers greeted him, and everyone in the Wengshan Garden bowed and saluted.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on Zhu Youjian, but something unexpected happened. Tie Mo discovered that Duduo had been staring at Zhang Yan non-stop. Instinctively, he felt that something was wrong, and Xiao Ruxue also noticed that
However, no one knew what Duduo was planning, so they could only endure it for the time being. Sure enough, when the ceremony was over, Duduo actually came out of the queue, raised his hands and said: "Your Majesty, the little king has an unkindness.
Please."
Zhu Youjian frowned when he heard this little king. With the current relationship between the Ming Dynasty and Hou Jin, he really wanted to drag Duduo out and chop him into meat paste with an order. However, Duduo came as an envoy from the Kingdom of Shu.
No matter how angry Zhu Youjian was, he couldn't kill him at this time. Not only could he not kill Duduo, he also had to ensure that Duduo wouldn't get into trouble in the Ming Dynasty.
Holding back the anger in his heart, Zhu Youjian asked calmly: "Say it!"
Duduo raised his brows and opened his mouth: "I have heard for a long time that Queen Zhang is both talented and beautiful, and is extremely beautiful, so I kindly ask your majesty to marry Queen Zhang to the young king to ensure the good relations between the two countries for generations to come."
As soon as these words came out, not only Tie Mo was stunned, everyone from Zhu Youjian to the whole room was stunned. Everyone present looked at Duduo blankly, as if looking at a monster. Marriage is always so bitter.
But marriage is not a rare thing. The current tense relationship between Jin Dynasty and Ming Dynasty can be explained by the proposal of marriage, but it is really surprising that Duduo wants to marry Queen Yi'an Zhang Yan.
Most of the people looking for marriages are unmarried women. But Zhang Yan is the widow of the late emperor, so where is her status? If Duduo wants to marry Zhang Yan, isn't this a slap in Ming's face?
Tie Mo's brows furrowed tightly. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, he would have sent someone to kill Duduo right now. This bastard must dare to snatch his Tie Mou's woman and be impatient. Of course, these things must be
It was Dorgon's instruction. Otherwise, with Duduo's arrogance, even if he wanted to get married, he wouldn't be able to say that he wanted to marry Queen Yi'an.
However, marrying a married woman was sensational in the Ming Dynasty, but it seemed to make sense in the Hou Jin Dynasty. The Jurchens were rising in the white mountains and black waters, and they did not care too much about etiquette. After the father died, the son continued to marry his father's concubine.
It often happens. In Houjin, noble widows can marry anyone they want. As long as you like it, it doesn't matter if you marry a junior.
The Later Jin Dynasty did not pay attention to etiquette, but the Ming Dynasty did. This is not a question of widows or widowers. Even if Zhang Yan is a widow, she is still a queen. Why do you, a Baylor from a small country, dare to marry her?
Duduo actually wants to marry Zhang Yan, which is really unexpected. Tie Mo is a little confused. Is there any hope of marrying Zhang Yan at this time?
The hope is zero. You know there is no hope, but you still want to bring it up. What on earth is Duduo, the wolf bastard, planning?
Duduo lowered his head and waited, and the deputy envoy Abbas stood up and shouted, "I hope your majesty will do it. Ten Beile is a famous warrior in our Kingdom of Jin. He is talented in literature, military skills, and brave in battle. He will not disgrace the queen."
!”
Abbas spoke loudly and his words were full of pride.
Inexplicably, Tie Mo suddenly understood that all marriages and marriages were all false. This was to take the opportunity to show off the muscles of the Kingdom of Jin. As expected, Abbas just finished speaking, and he still bowed his head and remained silent.
Duo raised his head and said loudly, "In order to win the queen, Xiao Wang is willing to fight with his own body!"
Dueling is actually a martial arts contest, a method used by the Jurchens to get women.
Duduo was just a man, but he had the courage to stand on the land of the Ming Dynasty and fight in a duel. Not to mention his bravery, but his heroic spirit put many men to shame.
"I hope your majesty will do it!"
Duduo bowed and saluted, his attitude was sincere and resolute, and Zhu Youjian's face turned extremely ugly for a moment.
"That's all. As a royal noble, the emperor's sister-in-law has to keep the honor of the late emperor, so let's forget about the marriage!"
"Your Majesty, what you said is wrong. The late emperor died early. How can he let the empress die in the palace alone? The rules of Lao Shizi are really bad. Is it possible that these royal rules are not as important as the safety of the two countries?"
Abbas' words froze Zhu Youjian. Cheng Jiming hurriedly stepped out of the queue and shouted sternly: "How outrageous! How can our Ming Dynasty be a land like yours? We don't follow the etiquette."
Abbas showed no fear at all and curled his lips with some disdain, "When a woman's husband dies, she is forced to remain unmarried and die at home. This is the etiquette of the Ming Dynasty. If this is the case, it is better for us in the Jin Kingdom not to follow etiquette."
"You..." Cheng Jiming was choked by Abbas. In fact, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit remarriage, but only promoted women's observance of chastity. However, it is okay for other women to remarry. At most, it is a matter of personal chastity, but
How can the late emperor's widow remarry and everyone still be shameless?
"Master Cheng, why didn't you say anything? Or are you saying that other women can remarry, but your Majesty cannot remarry? I, Belle of the Kingdom of Jin, admire your Majesty and want to marry her. What's wrong? It's you who are wrong. You ignored the friendship between the two countries and blocked it.
."
Abbas spoke so plausibly that the envoys from various countries secretly expressed their surprise. At this time, Tie Mo could no longer sit still. Sun Chengzong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he kept winking. If he didn't say anything, Teacher Sun would have to wait until he returned.
Got angry.
Just when everyone was helpless, Tie Mo sneered and said with a stern face: "Don't Ten Baylor want to duel? Then let's duel. Let's set up a field on the grassland and each person leads an army of 50,000 to fight. What if Ten Baylor wins?
Now, if you come to make noise to His Majesty again, if you don’t have the ability, don’t open your mouth and spray shit."
Not to mention Abbas, Tie Mo's words were yelling and scolding, as if he was lecturing his third grandson. After saying these words, Dodo's face turned the color of pig liver.
