Chapter 470 The emperor bestows the sword

Today's wedding is a double-headed event. Although the Han family is extremely lively, the Fan family will not lose face. The decoration in front of the mansion is extremely luxurious, with colorful ribbons flying, and there are several lions dancing. The gong and drum team beat more lively than the gong and drum team brought by the Han family, and there is also the sound of the flute and sheng next to it, mixed together, and the joyfulness...

Most of the officials of the Ministry of War were concentrated on the Fan Mansion, while the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue gathered on the Han Mansion, and the other yamen were naturally representatives of various factions on both sides.

These two major families cannot be offended by one.

Seeing the mothers on the Han family coming forward, the mothers on the other side also came up. So, the mothers on both sides suddenly crowded together, and there was a lot of noise. Han Mo could vaguely hear some of the meanings. It was that the mothers on both sides praised the benefits of their masters, and from time to time belittled each other to elevate their own family. These mothers are all neatly polite people. They are different from "washing mothers". They are "noisy mothers" who specialize in this program.

This is also a special scene in the marriage of Yan State. First, it is to put gold on the face of his master, and second, it is to add a lively atmosphere. The most important thing is the folk saying that when you are in the wedding, there will be a big fight. After you pass the door, the couple will not quarrel again. This is also a good fortune.

This situation was not stopped until both parties took out the wedding money to send each other's mother-in-law. So after the mother-in-law had been lively for a while, Shuangshi stepped forward to distribute the wedding money, and the annoying mother-in-law retreated.

For a moment, the gongs and drums on both sides became louder, and they could be heard ten miles away, and laughter was filled with laughter.

Surrounded by everyone, Han Mo arrived at Fan's mansion, and according to the rules, he had to stand outside the mansion and wait. The bride inside had to say goodbye to the big and small of the house before she could come out on the red carpet.

...

Han Mo had already gotten off his horse. There were many officials in the court in front of the mansion. They all came up to congratulate him. Han Mo was dizzy at the rumbling sounds around him for a while, and he couldn't tell who was coming to congratulate him. He just smiled and kept arching his hands. The muscles on his face were a little sore because they kept smiling, but at this moment, he could only hold on. Only then did he realize in his heart that this wedding was really a big chore.

Han Bin and Han Yuan laughed at Han Mo when they saw Han Mo's appearance, which made Han Mo feel embarrassed again, and they just thought to themselves: "Bless the Bodhisattva, welcome him home quickly..."

Although I don’t know who was celebrating him, I vaguely remember that Liu Qingyuan, the prefect of Yanjing Prefecture, Su Yuting, the commander of Yingxiang Camp, and Bai Yi, the commander of Longxiang Camp, were also among them. This was the first time Bai Yi saw him, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a majestic and stunning man.

I don’t know how long it took, but the sounds around gradually became less. Han Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Hearing an extremely melodious sound of flutes from the mansion, Han Yin hurriedly came forward to retire Han Mo’s clothes and whispered: “Fifth Young Master, the bride is coming out!”

After the sound of the flute, the sound of the flute, the sound of the sheng, the sound of the piano and other ritual music are played together, which is extremely melodious.

The guests were all separated on both sides. Han Yin led Han Mo to a place in front of the main gate. He explained a few words and saw a group of people slowly walking out of the depths of Fan's mansion. They were bright and dazzling. In front were more than a dozen virgins with jacquard baskets, separated from the left and right, followed by three horsemen walking together. One of the horsemen in the middle was holding red silk in his hand, and the red silk stretched backwards. The middle was a big red flower, and the other end was holding the bride's hand. Two more horsemen were holding the phoenix crown and robe, moving forward slowly. The tight pearl curtains covered the bride's face, making it difficult to see clearly.

Amid the ritual music, the bride slowly approached the mansion under the gaze of everyone. More than ten virgins went out to join the house. When the wedding girl came over, Han Mo followed Han Yin's instructions and took the red silk from the wedding girl. Han Yin naturally ordered someone to come forward and distribute the reward to the wedding girl.

Just like the stars circling the moon, the bride finally showed her figure from the crowd. Han Mo could see clearly at this time. Although she was covered by a wide shiny veil, the bride's figure was extremely beautiful. Her lotus steps moved lightly, her head wearing a phoenix crown was slightly hanging, and her hands under her wide sleeves were tightly holding the other end of the red silk.

Another complicated etiquette procedure was completed mechanically by Han Mo. Finally, when he heard the drum sound again, Han Mo led the bride to the side of the sedan chair, and wanted to invite the bride to the sedan chair.

The bride moved her steps lightly and walked to the side of the sedan chair, but stopped. She turned around and looked at the Minister of War's Mansion. Finally, she got into the sedan chair. Several grooms immediately split on both sides of the sedan chair. The virgins carrying the flower basket had already showered the colorful flowers in the basket into the air. For a moment, it was colorful and beautiful. The gongs and drums were noisy, and they became lively again.

From beginning to end, Han Mo did not see clearly what Miss Fan looked like.

But he had already known that Miss Fan's boudoir name is Fan Xiaoqian, a very elegant name, exudes a clear and spiritual smell. Look at her figure, she is also extremely beautiful, and she must be a rare beauty.

...

The wedding team finally returned to the Minister of Rites' Mansion. There is no need to explain the excitement along the way, but Han Mo heard Han Bin say: "Xiao Wu, everything is just beginning. When you return to the mansion, you will suffer!" At that time, he secretly complained. The etiquette routines on the woman's side were very complicated, but compared to the man's side, it was much easier.

When we returned to the mansion, the guests had arrived, and the rituals and music were heard, and it was another lively.

The bride was welcomed to the inner room and rested for a while, while Han Mo wanted to meet some major guests under the leadership of Han Xuanchang. Han Mo had not slept all night because of Aunt Bi's affairs last night, and today he was having trouble again, and he was already tired. However, even if he was tired, some things he should do were unavoidable.

The princes and nobles of Changde Hou Cao Yin, Taishi Xiao, Su Guanya and other princes were all present. Han Mo had seen them one by one. No matter what their thoughts were in their hearts, they were full of smiles on their faces and words of congratulations.

Seeing Master Xiao, Han Mo immediately thought of Xiao Lingzhi, and didn’t know what the woman was doing now...!

The time for the church is always coming, and the auditorium has been set up long ago. When Han Xuanchang and his wife sat down on the main seat, the wedding girls had already led the bride out with red silk.

Han Mo hurried forward to take the red silk, and this time he put it tightly. Although the bead curtain was very dense, there was a gap in it. So Han Mo vaguely saw a pair of clear big eyes and even saw the bride's fair skin that was as white as snow.

The bride seemed to have glanced at Han Mo, but she quickly lowered her head, looking very unnatural.

He led the bride to the hall with red silk. Guests gathered around him. Du Bingyue was also wearing men's clothes in the crowd. Seeing Han Mo attracting the bride to the hall, her face was quite unnatural.

The process of worshiping heaven and earth took a lot of time. After the ceremony, I heard a sharp voice outside the door: "The imperial edict has arrived, and the Han people will receive the edict!" This time, no one was named, and led a large group of tribesmen to welcome the edict.

In fact, the guests in the Han Mansion knew that the emperor's order at this time was nothing more than congratulations and rewards to Han Mo. Now the emperor values ​​this young man quite a bit, and it is reasonable to send rewards during the wedding.

However, after the decree was over, the officials in the court who came to congratulate him were all shocked.

Not to mention the jewelry, gold and silk, what surprised the court officials was a sword given by the emperor. This sword is not unparalleled, but it has an extraordinary effect.

This sword existed when the late emperor was alive, and was called the "Qingping Sword". The one who sought it was to ping the world. This sword was made of three, and was given to three trusted ministers. Except for cabinet ministers and ministers above the six ministers, other ministers can be executed first and then reported.

At that time, the late emperor tried to innovate the period, with the purpose of weakening the power of the aristocratic families and stabilizing the imperial power. The three swords were part of the measures.

Three confidant ministers holding Qingping Sword were fearless and followed the late emperor to implement various reform measures. When they encountered obstacles, they took out the Qingping Sword and killed them. At the beginning, they really shocked many people and allowed many reform measures to be implemented.

But soon, the dissatisfaction of the aristocratic families began to erupt. In the end, after several matchmaking, several aristocratic families finally gathered together. Impeached the three ministers to the court, which was actually the way to impeach the three ministers to fight against the administration implemented by the late emperor.

After several confrontations, the aristocratic family used various means to capture the evidence of the three confidant ministers of the late emperor. So in the court discussion that year, there was a great thunder. The final result was that the three ministers holding the Qingping Sword were taken back, one person was killed, and two people were deposed. However, the two deposed were corpses on the streets within only three days. This also made the late emperor clearly understand that in order to successfully reform and completely eliminate the power of the aristocratic family, there was a long way to go. Since then, the Qingping Sword has never been given again. Although the power of the aristocratic family was indeed gradually disappeared through various means, with the death of the aristocratic emperor, the current emperor could only rely on the support of the aristocratic family to stabilize the political situation in Yan State. Many measures were gradually abolished, and the local wars that occurred at the border also slowly restored the power of the aristocratic family.

Today, Han Mo was married, and the emperor gave him the Qingping Sword that he had not seen for many years. How can you not shock the ministers who know the story well?

Not to mention the pillars of the aristocratic families such as Master Xiao and Su Guanya, Han Xuandao and Han Xuanchang brothers were shocked when they saw the Qingping Sword.

No one knows the true intention of the emperor to give the sword, or in other words, the emperor himself has multiple meanings.

Is it giving Han Mo the power to take action first and then report? Is it making Han Mo the outpost for his innovation? Or... it is just a gift? What is more likely is to give the Qingping Sword in public, further intensifying the conflict between the Han family and other aristocratic families.

The guests in the hall looked different, but they didn't say anything, and they were thinking about the emperor's intention to give the sword.

As soon as the eunuchs left, they heard a voice outside the door: "Han Fan married, my boyfriend is born, and the concubine Shu is rewarded!" For a moment, a group of people came in, and another batch of gifts came.

Concubine Shu is Han Mo's cousin, and this reward is always inevitable.

Finally, the ceremony of receiving the rewards was finished, and the next step was the groom leading the bride into the bridal chamber. However, the rules of Yan State were very special. After entering the bridal chamber, the groom must come out soon and toast the guests. After the banquet was dispersed, he would return to the bridal chamber, with another small etiquette.

The bridal chamber was already well-decorated, elegant and leisurely. Surrounded by the wedding girls, Han Mo led the red silk and took the bride into the newlyweds' garden. Looking at the new house with the words "Happy", Han Mo suddenly stopped and couldn't help looking west, then closed his eyes gently.
