Three Kingdoms

In the fourth year of Taixing, on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the sky was clear and the wind was gentle and the sun was bright.

Fei Qian marries Cai Yan.

At the beginning of the Chen period, Pang Tong, the minister of the Zhongshu, and Xun You, the minister of the Zhongshu, were divided into welcoming envoys. They took a group of people to the Cai Mansion and presented the personal welcome inscription. Preserved fruits, dried fruits, delicacies, etc. are a continuous process.

The Cai family of Chenliu, headed by Cai Gu, set up a green hut with a green cloth curtain in front of the mansion to entertain guests.

In Chang'an City, whether they were married or unmarried, all the men and women of the gentry came out in large numbers, crowding the Cai Mansion. However, if you pay a little attention, you can actually distinguish them from each other. Taiyuan and other stations in the northeast of Hebei Province In one place, people from Jingxiang, Yuzhou, Nanyang and others were gathered together again. The disciples from Heluo and Chang'an were chatting happily, and some officials who had just joined the Hanmen branch also vaguely formed a small circle...

In addition to these gentry children, almost the entire city of Chang'an was filled with soldiers to maintain order, and inspections were even more intense. Sitting on horseback, they were constantly checking everything around them. Crossbowmen were stationed at all high points in the city to prepare for contingencies.

At three o'clock in the morning, the angel Chen Qun came to the Cai Mansion with eight attendants. He announced the decree to Cai Yan to show his honor and officially kicked off the celebration.

The things given by Emperor Liu Xie were actually not very valuable, that is, some square candles, carved and colorful decorations, and gold and silver strings. But in name only, it was an unprecedented courtesy, which made the unmarried noble girls on the side Qi Qi was so envious that she wished she could replace him with her own body.

Pang Tong smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth, and he seemed to be eager to welcome Chen Qun. But in fact, what did Chen Qun want to do with Chen Qun's so-called congratulatory gift, a gift from the emperor? He knew very well...

Cai Yan was in the backyard, wearing a wedding auspicious dress with a deep robe. He was somewhat helpless holding an exquisite fan. This fan was decorated with gold and silver and was extremely luxurious. It was also used as a cover-up. Facing Fei Qian's face, Sometimes you can cover your face with a fan.

Beside Cai Yan, there was an old lady mumbling some words, which made Cai Yan's heart beat wildly and it was difficult to calm down.

Hijab and other such things existed in the Han Dynasty, but they were not common. It was not until after the Tang Dynasty that the wedding process was officially entered. In fact, speaking of it, the hijab is a gift of the Hu people. Because the desert outside the Great Wall is very windy and sandy, it is often necessary to have a head covering. The bride naturally needs to be bright and conspicuous to show the difference.

Not yet.

Fei Qian set out from the Cavalry General's Mansion, also wearing a deep wedding dress with a curved train and a crown on his head. As the saying goes, the wedding day is lawless? You can overstep it, that's it.

When ordinary people get married, they can use the utensils, colors, silks, etc. that can only be used by nobles on the wedding day, and they will not be punished or punished for it. So as Feiqian, he wears a nine-piece on his head when he gets married. The crown of the Nine Pearls is considered normal.

Even so, when Fei Qian put on the crown of Nine Beads and Nine Beads, many people saw a special color in their eyes after saluting, especially Fei Qian's officials. This expression is very complicated and difficult to describe. Some of them seem to be hopeful and uneasy.

Cai Yan is an equal wife.

That is to say, except for being slightly lower than Huang Yueying in the family, the rest are "equal" to his wife.

Huang Yueying? Although she said that it was okay to do this and that it was okay, but on this day, Huang Yueying showed up and forced a smile at the beginning. Later, she simply hid in the backyard without showing her head. She knew that, Today's protagonist is not her.

Human nature is selfish first. Selfishness comes after selfishness. If there is no selfishness and no selfishness as a comparison, then how can we show selflessness?

At least Huang Yueying is still straightforward, and it is written on her face, which is a thousand times better than those who are very good at pretending but are ruthless behind the scenes.

Fei Qian previously thought that he could do it according to his own wishes, or pay more attention to Cai Yan's personal choices, but now he finds that some things may not be arranged how he wants...

The family is weak and the problem of heirs is a hidden danger for Fei Qian, and this hidden danger will become more obvious as Fei Qian's status increases. Just like for poor people, the so-called inheritance is at most a thatched house and a hoe, and there is nothing to fight for. Even if the old man is willing to give it to the fruit seller, it doesn't matter because the value is not high. It is not a big problem. But once one has tens of thousands of dollars in wealth, relatives can get into fights with each other, and even fight at the door, and stage a show of rat tail juice in the mourning hall.

Especially Xiao Feizhen doesn't like reading!

This really gives Fei Qian a headache.

Perhaps with Fei Qian's remaining power and the veterans who followed Fei Qian to conquer the world are still there, Fei Zhen will still have no big problems, but Fei Zhen's next generation is hard to say, just like Cao Rui in history . Although the name is said to be wise and given the posthumous title of "Ming", in reality...

Cao Rui may have done a lot of things, but in the end he did two big things, big stupid things. One is the gullible belief in the so-called "goddess". The wife of a farmer in Shouchun claimed that she was sent by the gods and should live in the palace to ward off disasters and evil spirits for the emperor's family, and to receive blessings and increase longevity. She gives water to those who are sick to drink, and those who drink more will be cured. Cao Rui then built a palace in the harem specifically for her, issued an edict to praise her talents, and favored her especially. When Cao Rui became seriously ill, drinking her spring water had no effect, so he killed her in a rage. It was too late to find a real doctor to treat the disease...

Ever since, Cao Rui did the second stupid thing and sent an order to summon Sima Yi to the court with a post horse. When Sima Yi arrived in a hurry, he was immediately ushered into the inner palace. Emperor Ming took his hand and asked him to work with General Cao Shuang to assist the prince. Sima Yi cried, kowtowed repeatedly, and agreed to the instructions entrusted by Emperor Ming...

Later, everyone knew the natural result.

Yes, Fei Qian has made many reforms and improved a lot of things now, but the key still requires subsequent stability and follow-up. Otherwise, what is the difference between Fei Qian and those short-lived figures in history?

It's like playing the Three Kingdoms game. After trying so hard to unify China, after a long list of creations, the final CG is the same Five Huanhua that will remain unchanged for thousands of years?

Therefore, Cai Yan is to make up for the shortcomings of successors and successor education.

Indispensable.

Fei Qian suddenly remembered that when he married Huang Yueying, he was hesitating and wandering under Lushan Mountain and beside the stream. He suddenly realized that the somewhat young and immature self back then was gone, and what was left was Even my emotions started to calculate, almost cold...

Humans are social animals after all!

Fei Qian's heart was filled with confusion, but his face did not change at all. He smiled slightly and gestured to the noble clan members who were watching the ceremony around him.

Cai Gu bowed his head and greeted him respectfully in front of Qinglu.

Fei Qian dismounted and helped Cai Gu up with a smile.

In fact, Cai Gu has no great ambitions. His scriptures and poems are loose, but he is proficient in eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. If it weren't for Cai Yan's face, and because Cai Gu really didn't make any big mistakes, After all, as a nobleman, eating, drinking, and welcoming people are a normal social reality at the moment, so they are left to the present.

Pang Tong and Xun You were on the side, also smiling.

Fei Qian met Chen Qun again. To someone who didn't know what was going on, it would seem that they were all in harmony. The Fei family and the Cao family were all close...

Then Fei Qian walked into Qinglu and joined Cai Yanjin in the wedding ceremony.

It is also commonly known as handing over glasses of wine, but this handing over is just about exchanging cups, and it is not necessary to hook up the arms like in later generations... The pattern of handing over glasses in later generations was mostly created through misinformation, and is completely different from ancient rituals, probably also It started after the Tang Dynasty.

The wine is bitter, and even though sugar is added, the wine is still bitter. The couple drank the bitter and sweet wine together. Perhaps when the ancients formulated this etiquette, they also fully considered the meaning contained in it.

Although Cai Yan covered his face with a fan, when he was eating food and drinking wine, he still exposed his slender jaw and elegant lips with beautiful lip lines, which were red and delicate, like two small cherries.

Fei Qian raised the wine and drank it in one gulp.

Amid the roaring applause of the guests, Cai Yan peeked behind the fan with a blush on his face. When he saw Fei Qian drinking, the drink accidentally dripped on his chest, revealing a few spots on his chest. He couldn't help but curved his eyebrows and slightly chuckle...

Unknowingly, it was the auspicious time and Fei Qian needed to lead Cai Yan home.

At this time, Pang Tong and Xun You had to urge loudly outside, which is the so-called urge to make up. Then Cai Gu, the Cai family, should have led a group of people to obstruct it. The two sides had to fight, but Cai Gu, on the one hand, was talented and learned. He was completely crushed, and on the other hand, he didn't dare to be too difficult, so as not to offend Fei Qian, so he just put on a show and ended it hastily, causing the other nobles to laugh endlessly.

In the midst of laughter, Cai Yan covered his face and boarded the carriage with carved railings and painted wheels.

The so-called car with carved railings and painted wheels and four-view canopy is actually specially decorated, and the baffles on three sides have been removed, leaving only the specially crafted guardrails, plus the colorful paintings on the wheels, and the colorful canopy roof. In short , it is as gorgeous as you want, and what is different from later generations of floats is that because the baffles on three sides have been removed, leaving only the railings, the bride can be seen from all directions, which is the "four views".

Although Cai Yan covered his face with a fan, he still showed a little bit of his charming face, which attracted endless cheers from many people watching the ceremony. The convoy will circle the city from the main Chang'an Avenue for half a circle, and then enter the Feiqian Mansion Office. Along the way, people watching the ceremony will be crowded together. When Feiqian Cai Yan appears, the crowd will be even more intense, making the soldiers who are maintaining it nervous. Extremely strong, he used a large shield to hold up the crowd horizontally, so that order would not turn into chaos.

It was during the New Year period, and it was another happy event for Fei Qian, the supreme ruler of Xijing. It was true that the whole city was celebrating, and it was even more lively than on New Year's Day.

Xu Chu and Wei Du, like door gods on the left and right, followed Fei Qianma closely. Although they wore colorful painted armor, which was somewhat funny and uncoordinated, they both looked serious and held the thick painted shields in their hands tightly. Tight, never leaving.

The best time for Fei to assassinate was when he showed up among the crowd. For safety reasons, Huang Xu even suggested using the stand-in for this section of the street, but Fei Qian objected. On the one hand, the stand-in is a stand-in after all, and ordinary people may be able to hide it, but there are many nobles at the scene. What will these people think if a stand-in is allowed to do such a thing? On the other hand, Fei Qian felt that he used a substitute to hide in a safe place, but put Cai Yan at risk, which was somewhat unjustifiable.

Therefore, on the basis of the auspicious timing, we moved the wedding date to midday. After all, if according to the original custom, the so-called wedding is a "twilight ceremony", with the lights flickering and the vision dim, it would be really... It's too dangerous...

Now that the weather is clear, the soldiers at high places are controlling and monitoring, and they have a clear view of everything. In addition, Xu Chu and Wei are on guard in full armor, so the risk is minimized.

Chen Qun followed the convoy and walked slowly.

This time, Chen Qun came to Xijing, ostensibly to give Fei Qian the so-called congratulatory gift and to award Cai Yan with the imperial edict, but in fact, he had other purposes...

Fei Qian took Guo Jia and refused to let him go. Cao Cao was somewhat anxious, but there was nothing he could do unless Cao Cao found an opportunity to capture one of Fei Qian's advisers in exchange. At the same time, although Guo Jia was not imprisoned, his personal freedom was also subject to some restrictions, and he could not find anyone to convey some news. Therefore, when Chen Qun came to Chang'an this time, he naturally hoped to persuade Fei Qian to let Guo go. Jia is naturally the best. No matter what happens, you can take a chance to meet Guo Jia and exchange information.

It's just that Chen Qun was a little surprised that Fei Qian married Cai Yan, because in Chen Qun's mind, Fei Qian had many choices. If he didn't mind, there were also ladies from the Chen family in Yingchuan who were waiting to marry. Although he may not be as knowledgeable as Cai Yan, he is not far behind in being a husband and raising children. More importantly, he is young and can have more children...

Even if the Chen family is not chosen, there is the Pei family in Hedong, the Wang family and the Wen family in Taiyuan, the Wei family and the Du family in Guanzhong, as well as the Zhang family, Huang family in Hanzhong, the Wu family in Sichuan and Shu, etc. Which one is not more family-like than the Cai family? Advantage?

Among nobles, when taking concubines, one naturally chooses the color, but for such a formal marriage, of course more aspects must be considered. Fei Qian's move is naturally not the best, and it can even be said that it does not bring much to Fei Qian. How many benefits, after all, Chen Liu Cai, haha, just look at Cai Gu and you will know what he is...

Or maybe the Huang family in Fei Qian's family is too strong?

Chen Qun raised his eyebrows. Is it true that the rumors about Huang's fierce wife and Fei Qian's wife are true?

If so, it would be really interesting.

Chen Qun couldn't help but laugh, and then he saw Pang Tong's scrutinizing gaze from the side. He didn't panic, and still smiled and gestured with his hands. how? Isn’t this an occasion that makes you smile?

Pang Tong squinted his eyes, touched his chin, nodded, and said nothing. But the same thoughts were swirling in my mind. Chen Qun, representing Cao Cao, came, and Lu Su, representing Sun Quan, also arrived at Wuguan... It is said that the unlucky guy Lu Su almost fell into the valley when he was walking on the Wuguan Mountain Road...

Just wait a few more days and it will be lively. It was probably even more lively than the current scene. Hey, I don’t know how much of my chin I can save...

Pang Tong and Chen Qun had their own thoughts, but Cai Gu, who was a little behind, had a bright face and a bright smile.

For Cai Gu, this long-term meal ticket can be regarded as obtained. As long as he does not commit suicide, he will be eating from a golden rice bowl. He can eat one bowl after another. Thinking of the various subsequent benefits and the future How many people would beg and rush to flatter him, but Cai Gu couldn't help but be elated.

Cai Gu was so proud that he shook his head and waved his hands to others, not considering whether he might follow in Fei He's footsteps...

Of course, Fei He's death was only circulated on a small scale and was not widely publicized. So Cai Gu didn't take Fei He's matter to heart, and he didn't think there would be any problems if he indulged. He just thought of the benefits and forgot the risks. Isn't it a common problem for ordinary people?

This is no wonder Cai Gu. After all, people in the whirlpool are very secretive about the Feihe matter. Guys like Cai Gu who are wandering on the edge of the political center have no way of getting a full picture.

In fact, Fei Qian had already had some clues when he asked Fei He to stay at home and think about his mistakes. However, after all, people are greedy for life and fear death, so Fei He just delayed it again and again, thinking that the ending might not be that bad, and it wouldn't be so bad. To die...

The reason why Fei Qian did not follow the so-called court trial process is that although Fei Qian now has the prototype of the separation of powers, it is still only a prototype and is not enough to shoulder all the corresponding responsibilities. There is another very important reason. Qian has a deeper understanding of the four words "rabble" than before.

Many times, or most of the time, people only want to see what they want to see, and only want to know what they want to know, and those who are subjectively willing to understand the world more clearly and truly will ultimately It's a minority. Just like there are so many people in later generations who know that smoking is harmful, but still smoke, and know that piracy is bad, but still contribute clicks, how can we expect ordinary people in the Han Dynasty to be completely transparent about the case and understand what Feihe did? They did bad things, but that doesn’t mean that all Fei people are bad people?

If someone were to take advantage of it, and add three points to seven points, and then give it a sensational title, would ordinary people like these in the Han Dynasty hold back and control their hands from clicking on piracy?

Therefore, the more high-level information, the more closed it is and generally not released. Or to the outside world, they say nothing happened and everything is normal, but they actually conduct a secret investigation, and then wait for the public to pay no attention to it before quietly handling it.

This has been true from ancient times to the present, from inside to outside.

It's just that people like Cai Gu basically don't understand these things, or in other words, don't have the heart to understand them. Cai Gu just felt that as time went by, good luck would come, and as a relative of Fei Qian, the Chenliu Cai family would become prosperous!

Feiqian, Cai Yan and his entourage, plus Pang Tong, Chen Qun and others, as well as the gentry disciples who followed, plus Cai Yan's maidservants, dowry, etc., were like a long dragon, winding around the city of Chang'an. Along the way, people watching the ceremony were also crowded on both sides. In the streets and alleys, thousands of people were vying to watch. The grand occasion was unprecedented...

……d(·｀ω′·d*)……

[When the queue arrived in front of the Husband's Mansion, a horse monkey suddenly jumped out, glared, and bared his teeth: "You are here to watch the ceremony. It's fine if you don't bring any gifts. Don't you even have recommendation votes and monthly passes?" 』】
