Of course, as the daughter of a royal family, the life-long event is not something that just a middle-ranking official can come to the door and directly guarantee the matchmaking and marriage. Therefore, in the end, the yellow gate envoy was left to Jiang Tian.
I ordered a door sticker/invitation with exquisite workmanship and incense.
However, Jiang Tian still felt a little bit crazy that someone actually wanted to invite him to a blind date event called a "garden party." However, when people around him heard about it, they had mixed reactions.
"This is a good thing! At least for ordinary people, it is a life-long wealth and wealth." Zhang Wusheng, the most familiar among them, was the first to express his position: "Even if the officials are not satisfied with the Taining Xiaojun (Princess Princess)
) is not tempted, you can just go and watch the fun."
"However, I have heard people say: 'Marry a wife to get a princess, and you have nothing to do with the government. (Note 1)', will there be any hindrance in this?" Li Huan said with a chuckle when he heard this, but his eyes were secretly
He turned around and thought about how to forward this sudden news immediately.
"As the saying goes, it is true, but there is no big problem in choosing the princess or the county head." Xin Gonggong, who just happened to deliver the documents, also said humorously: "Most of the time, not only are there no problems,
On the contrary, it is of great benefit; therefore, there are few people in the clan who are worried about getting married."
"Maybe you can give it some thought, sir! At least there will be less restrictions and troubles after you get married." During this period, Cheng Shilian, who became thin and gloomy, also echoed: "If you have no other ideas,
The garden of King Guangling is also one of the best tourist attractions in Luodu!"
(Note: In the autumn and July of the first year of Kaiyao, when Princess Taiping married into the Xue family, torches were fired one after another from the south of Xing'anmen to the west of Xuanyangfang, and many locust trees on both sides of the road were even burned to death. Xue Shao's brother Xue Yi felt that Princess Taiping had been harmed
His favor was so great that he felt worried about it, and asked his distant uncle Xue Kegou, a doctor in the Ministry of Household Affairs, what to do.
When a woman gets a princess, she has nothing to do with the government. She has to be afraid of it." Later, Xue Shao actually died of starvation in Luoyang Prison due to the clan's rebellion.)
As everyone talked about this matter, the air in the library suddenly began to be filled with an atmosphere of happiness and escape. However, Jiang Tian secretly turned his gaze and was smiling aside without saying a word.
Linghu Xiaomu thought to himself, why are you laughing so hard about this?
But just as their eyes met, she suddenly turned red like a cat with its tail burned off; she stamped her feet hard and turned around to leave, leaving behind a faint laughter. This also made Jiang Tian feel a little puzzled again, I
You haven’t said anything yet, but you’re blushing like a bubble teapot again?
So next, with a certain mentality of watching the excitement and not taking it too seriously, the relevant information about the King of Guangling and his beloved daughter Taining Xiaojun was quickly placed in front of Jiang Tian.
Since the Qian and Yuan Dynasties, when the Tang Dynasty was overthrown and Taixing was reformed and prosperous for hundreds of years, members of the royal family have spread and multiplied into a quite large group in the peaceful years. Although according to the imperial court system, they were five years old from the reigning emperor.
If you obey, you will naturally become a citizen.
However, the clans compiled by Zongzheng Temple are still a particularly impressive group. However, according to their closeness to the reigning monarch, they are naturally divided into three, six, and nine levels of circumstances and status. The records are re-created every ten years.
Once, I thought of preparing a budget of internal funds for support.
Among them, there are some who are poor and barely starve to death (Zongzheng Temple gives rice cloth as an example), and can only rely on giving birth to daughters in exchange for betrothal gifts to maintain basic dignity. The noble king of Qing Dynasty, who has food and many privileges, specializes in selling.
King Guangling is one of the top members of these royal family pyramids; he is a wealthy and noble prince who is known for his elegance, good writing, and generosity. Take his title Guangling (Yangzhou) as an example; share, and also has several exclusive sea trade fleets.
And he made no secret of doting on his daughter more than his son; he claimed to have prepared an astronomical dowry for his little girl who had just given birth to hair. Therefore, this little prince of Taining, no matter what his appearance and character were, It has clearly become the most popular candidate in Luodu City.
As Xin Ping said, marrying a princess certainly involves the risk of having an unruly family and running horses and grass over your head. But marrying a daughter of a clan from a nearby branch will have much less constraints and worries. And for newcomers to the official career, there is no need to worry about it. It is easy to fall in line too early and make enemies, but you can still get help from your family.
However, a piece of paper suddenly came from outside the city, which put an end to the discussion that everyone was talking about. After a while, Jiang Tian, who showed his identity and criminal record, had already sped out of Hui'an Gate in the north of Luodu City; After crossing the stone bridge and checkpoint on the Xiecheng Canal, we arrived near Jinyong City.
Along the way, Jiang Tian also discovered some new changes. For example, the road was still the same as before, but it was quickly renovated during this period; and it was made of plaster (mortar) that was second only to the standard of plaster (cement). Sanhetu), it has been widened and reinforced and equipped with ditches.
The only two villages that passed along the way were also surrounded and reinforced by external walls made of gravel; on the walls were many flags of road guards, as well as a somewhat abrupt and brand-new sentry tower. And when the river The closer we get to Jinyong City, the more dense the footprints and ruts on the road become.
Finally, the road ended at the end, in the ruins of the old city (Jinyong South City) that was overgrown with weeds and could barely see the city walls. However, among the ruins of the gate tower several feet high, Jiang Tian was vaguely aware of the various things hidden in the camouflaged ruins. In the stronghold, there are seemingly invisible instruments reflecting light.
It seemed that the guard and defense of the Jinyong City garrison had been further strengthened. Until Li Huan stepped forward on his behalf and showed his identity and password in the shadow of the seemingly empty gatehouse; The existing threats gradually disappeared.
Passing through the deserted doorway, but with iron bars and gates hanging overhead for double protection, Jiang Tian discovered that the interior had been greatly widened and cleaned up, and the two sides of the central avenue were covered with lush grass. On the other side, there are several newly built sites and buildings with different purposes.
Among them are spacious barracks and school grounds separated by walls, as well as brand-new buildings such as arsenals and warehouses, granaries, stables, and lumber stores. Obviously, during Jiang Tian's absence, the court urgently added new buildings. Investment in garrison and equipment in Jinyong City.
As Jiang Tian was galloping along Zhongxing Avenue, he could still vaguely hear the rising and falling sounds of drills in the military camps and school grounds, as well as the roar of some suspected firearms being used; and the fireworks rising behind the barrier.
Normally, Jiang Tian would have the intention to stop and wait and see; to see the results of these people's targeted drills according to the suggestions and implementation regulations he provided. But it can't be done now, because today is the head of the collection from Duji Road
The batch of abnormal objects is put into storage on the date.
Jiang Tian was even required to be present in person, assuming that he was responsible for inspection and supervision. Therefore, when he passed through the gate in the next city and entered the Jinyong Middle City/Luoyang Base, he saw more than 20 subordinates headed by Lin Jiulang.
He was fully clothed and already waiting outside the door.
And on the surrounding city walls, gate towers and sentry forts, there are even more graceful figures standing there; armored sergeants holding iron-armed bows or firing crossbows. And their focus is as if they are facing a powerful enemy;
There are several enclosed vehicles in the center surrounded by a team of iron-man-like swordsmen.
This is also the first time that Xin Pingping and Cheng Shilian have been allowed to enter this secret settlement unknown to the world since they joined Jiang Dan's army. Therefore, seeing this battle formation, they can't help but feel compelled to do so.
Although they were calm, each of them showed a little nervousness and embarrassment.
Because according to their prior psychological preparation, what they were about to face might be strange and abnormal existences that most people in the world could not imagine. When he dismounted from his horse, Xin Pingping was even a little too nervous and accidentally got hung up by the saddle strap.
For a moment, I almost fell off my horse.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Tian couldn't help but said: "There's no need to be nervous, it's just some abnormal objects and distorted creatures. If we don't handle this in the future, this kind of thing will just be a common occurrence. Don't be surprised."
However, Cheng Shilian seemed to be even more nervous after hearing this, and could only force out an ugly smile at Jiang Tian. Xin Pingping seemed to be better, but he could not help but smile bitterly: "Officer... Officer
Sir...you really think highly of our generation!"
Then, Jiang Tian saw Mrs. Cen and several other chief officials appearing on the top of the city, nodding in the distance, as well as a group of subordinates from their respective departments; but then he said to Chen Wentai, the brigade commander on duty who came up to him: "Since everyone is here,
Now that everyone is here, let’s start the first step of the process!”
Immediately, as he nodded and turned around to blow the low whistle, the armored swordsmen facing the vehicle immediately stepped back a few steps to make way for a gap. Then another group of sergeants holding various long and short instruments swarmed up cautiously.
The first closed cart was opened.
Then, a heavy roar and vibration could be heard inside the car. In an instant, there was a buzzing sound on both sides of the car. In an instant, a huge figure flew out like an arrow; however, there was another fierce clang.
With a loud tremor, it hit the tightly sealed shield wall head-on.
Almost instantly, special instruments such as stainless steel hook guns, fork handles, iron rope toggle rods, etc. rushed out of the gaps in the shield wall, and stabbed and hooked on the huge figure one after another; and with the combined efforts of all four,
Pierce the limbs, lock the head, and control the target in place in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the people who followed Jiang Tian clearly saw that this was a ferocious alien that resembled a humanoid. There were no traces of bloody and bloody scales all over its body. All its claws and teeth were cut off, its mouth was tied up, and it was still alive.
It was hooked deeply into the body by multiple chains connected inside the car;
"It seems that a new alien species has appeared so soon." Upon seeing this, Jiang Tian muttered to himself:
