Chapter 1052: The Goose Li Cheng
Emperor Yu of Liang showed his ruthless tactics in the midst of war. When the cavalry trampled the old capital, the palace walls of the new capital had been quietly built.
They fought and moved the capital at the same time, and completed the elimination of pro-Wan forces in the country in the shortest possible time.
A historian had been following Emperor Yu since he launched his counterattack, and witnessed the entire process of this earth-shaking history.
Later he recorded, "If Emperor Yong had not been so incompetent and signed a secret agreement with the Wan Kingdom, disregarding the lives of the people, Emperor Yu would not have used the Dragon Slaying Sword so quickly."
When the Dragon Slaying Sword was drawn, the Emperor's star shifted, and the sky changed in a hundred days. The historians recorded that the Feather Emperor had avoided a war with his iron-blooded tactics, and also recorded that the Feather Emperor was the legitimate heir, supported by all the people, and supported by the people.
When the great earthquake struck Dong'an County that year, it was Emperor Yu who personally arranged for the people to be evacuated, saving countless lives.
There are two old ministers, Wu Xianwen and Wang Yi, who personally testified that Emperor Yu, as the Prince Consort of the Northern Wing, was always concerned about the safety of the people of Liang.
The former Emperor Heng of Liang, who was exiled to another country, never forgot his homeland of Liang.
The people were very excited and took to the streets to cheer. The people of Luo City were especially ecstatic, as they had never dreamed that one day they would wake up and find that the border town where they lived had become the capital.
However, despite this, assassinations continued every day. Not only did the former subordinates of Emperor Yong launch a frantic counterattack, but other forces also took advantage of the chaos to fish in troubled waters.
They assassinated more than just Emperor Yu.
Everyone knows that Princess Haiyan and her three children are the weak points of Emperor Yu. The killers shifted their attention to the Northern Wing, and someone even offered a reward of 10,000 gold to take the lives of the princess and her children.
But the northern border defense line is so solid that there are four powerful young generals stationed here.
These generals were all students of Emperor Yu.
They were not Yu Di's subjects, they all called Yu Di "Sir".
Every day, eight or ten assassins died on the border. As time went by, no one dared to cross the border at will.
Even so, Zhuo Qiran and Qiu Zhiyan were still worried that some of them might slip through the net, so they secretly took the children to reunite with Shi Anxia.
Of course, the main reason was that the children were clamoring for their mother all day long. No one expected that the princess would not come back for so long after returning to the capital.
In fact, the worries of Zhuo Qiran and others were not unnecessary. There were indeed a few fish that escaped the net and fell into the trap.
The place where the children lived in the past is now where Wu Qicheng and others wait for their turn.
The children were also escorted along the way by their cousin Tang Xinghe.
This boy went through the darkest moment of his life, and because of a moment of confusion, he mistakenly took his lifelong event as compensation, not only offending Chi Shuang, but also hurting Hong Que's heart.
After all the training, Tang Xinghe has become much more mature mentally and calmer in temperament.
He acted rigorously and carefully, and he was a man of many thoughts. Not only did he protect the children very well, he also dealt with the killer of unknown origin.
After entering Lingzhou, for safety reasons, Tang Xinghe arranged for Dong Xi to pretend to be a princess and lead the marriage team.
At that time, Anxia, the children, Emperor Wenxuan and others had already quietly entered Tiema City.
In Minzhou of Liang State and Lingzhou in the north wing, there is a guard post every three steps and a sentry every five steps. Luocheng and Tiemacheng are as solid as an iron barrel.
According to etiquette, the State of Liang only needed to send an envoy with a letter of credence and betrothal gifts to the border to welcome the bride. However, this time, the Liang envoys not only went straight to the imperial city of Beiyi, but also helped with disaster relief on the way. The news of their righteous deeds spread throughout Beiyi, and the people praised them as "the Liang envoys were like a spring breeze", which became a good story.
For the first time, Beiyi and Xiliang reached a national oath of "Yiliang is one family", with the Huaixing River as a witness and the wedding of the emperor and empress as a contract. From then on, weapons were turned into friendship and the border became a thoroughfare.
On this auspicious day, the Huaixing River was covered with mist and the clear water reflected the splendid flower screen that stretched for ten miles on both sides of the river.
Envoys from various countries gathered on the riverside. This was the first time in hundreds of years that other countries had the opportunity to watch the emperor and empress welcome the emperor from across the river in a unique wedding ceremony.
The ceremonial officials of both countries also stood by the river, each holding a bronze goose statue, waiting for the auspicious time to arrive, so as to perform the ceremony of "delivering the letter via goose and silk".
The Feather Emperor, in his black and gorgeous clothes, came to the riverside to greet them. He had a very fair complexion and a high nose bridge, and he stood among the flowers, suppressing all the bright colors.
No one knew that at this moment the emperor's fingers were slightly curled in his wide sleeves.
This kind of trepidation is exactly the same as it was back then. I am worried that the rituals and music will not be harmonious, that the ceremonies will be lost, and I am even more afraid that this hard-won reunion will be subject to more uncertainties.
For example, on the first wedding night, one cannot sleep, worrying about this and that, fearing that if something is not arranged properly, it will ruin the wedding.
From then on, there was no more "Luo Cen Yuan" in the world. Only the orthodox royal family of Liang State - Emperor Cen, stepped on blood and smoke, and finally stood upright in the sun.
The river breeze blew across the twelve tassels of the emperor's crown, and the pearls and jade rustled slightly. A red canopy on the opposite bank became faintly visible.
Yu Di raised the corners of his lips slightly and smiled restrainedly.
At that time, Anxia sat in the phoenix carriage, wearing a nine-winged four-phoenix crown on her head and a scarlet-woven gold-embroidered phoenix robe, with the twelve-chapter pattern on the robe gleaming in the sun. The nine pairs of phoenixes embroidered with gold thread on the wide sleeves of the phoenix robe moved lightly in the wind, as if they would burst out of the robe in the next moment.
There was music and ceremony on both sides of the Huaixing River.
Musicians from the Taichang Temple of the Liang State played the piece of "Summer Time", with the chimes ringing like golden bells and the sheng and flute playing in harmony; the Beiyi Jiaofangsi presented the piece of "Yuan Fei", with the qin and qin playing in harmony and the chimes and pipes playing in concert.
The music from both banks intertwined on the river, startling a line of egrets to fly into the blue sky.
In the Luan carriage, besides Shi Anxia, there were three other people and a dog.
Er Er sat upright next to Shi An Xia, looking a little nervous.
San San obediently grasped the corner of his mother's clothes, his little face flushed, but he still looked timid.
Yi Yi stood straight with the black jade Qilin pendant on his waist emitting a faint golden glow in the morning light.
Yi Yi had already stretched her neck, secretly pried open the curtain with her fingers, and peeked out from the gap, asking curiously, "Mother, is father the most handsome and conspicuous one on the other side?"
Er Er pouted and tugged at the corner of Yi Yi's robe, "Brother, sit down...sit down."
San San continued in a soft voice, "Yes, sister is right. The uncles all said that our words and deeds represent the reputation of Beiyi... Hey, mother, what does reputation mean?"
Shi Anxia lowered his head and smiled. Just as he was about to answer, he saw Yi Yi patting his own face. "Face is the face of a person and the bark of a tree. Mother, right?"
Shi Anxia laughed, "You little puppy, you know you don't listen to your sister?"
The real dog was sitting upright at Shi Anxia's feet, sticking out its tongue and laughing, tilting its head to look here and there.
This was of course Ye Bao'er. It had finally shed the white fur it had used for camouflage, regaining its shiny black fur and no longer having to hide.
Accompanying the phoenix carriage are Beihui, Nanyan, Xiyue, Dongzhi, and Hongque... Everything seems to have returned to its original state.
The ceremonial officer sang, "The auspicious time has arrived, bring the wild goose as a gift!"
The Feathered Emperor personally took off the dragon-patterned jade belt from his waist and placed it on the goose's feet, while Shi Anxia tied a marriage certificate with gold thread around the goose's neck.
On the Huaixing River, the bows of the black bird boats touched each other. The ceremonial officials of the two countries each held a bronze goose vase and sailed towards each other, slowly exchanging the live geese in the middle of the river.
The ceremonial officer said, "The ceremony of holding the goose is complete!"
As the sound echoed, the pair of wild geese flapped their wings and took off. The gold pattern on the jade belt and the red characters on the marriage certificate shone in the morning sun, and as the shadows of the geese flew by, the flowers on both sides fell like rain.
