The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui thought about it, but he still didn't see Wei Zhongxian, and he continued to hang out with him for a few days to make him more obedient and obedient. After Xiao Yan gets married, we can discuss other things.

The next day officially came the big day for Xiao Yan to get married.

Early in the morning, Xiao Yan, dressed in auspicious clothes, entered the palace and kowtowed three times and kowtowed to the emperor and empress in turn, and then kneeled twice and kowtowed twice to his biological mother Concubine De.

At the same time, Zhou Wang Xiao Mingying, the Zongling of the clan's mansion, appointed an old minister to lead 20 officials, several internal prisons, and 80 imperial guards to prepare eight colorful sedan chairs surrounded by red satin to welcome Kong's family.

At the same time, the palace has dispatched eight female servants to pay respects to the Kong family and the Tang Palace, and the patrol battalion is responsible for clearing the road from the Tang Palace to the Kong family.

When the auspicious time comes, the inner eunuch will put the colorful sedan chair in the middle hall, and the princess will go out of the pavilion in full dress, and the maids will serve on the sedan chair and lower the curtain. Eight inner eunuchs lifted up, sixteen lanterns, twenty torches led, female officials followed, and they rode horses out of the gate. The guards of honor at the front, the veterans of the clan mansion, and the leaders of the forbidden army lead the officers and guards to guide and protect the front and back respectively. Outside Tang Wang's mansion, the guard of honor was stopped and removed, and everyone dismounted and entered.

The female official led the princess into the mansion, and then held the wedding ceremony, which was in charge of the married woman waiting here. The married woman sang the "Jiaozhu Song", worshiped in the hall and entered the wedding ceremony. After drinking, everyone retreats.

In this way, the marriage ceremony is considered to have come to an end.

At the same time, His Majesty held a dinner in the Dexin Hall of the Imperial Palace to entertain the princess's parents and direct relatives. Ministers of civil and military rank three or above and wives were required to congratulate the banquet.

Xiao Rui watched Xiao Yan pay homage to get married in the Tang Palace, and watched him and the concubine drink the wine before entering the palace with other people for the dinner.

According to the rules of the Great Xia Kingdom, only when the prince gets married, the marriage ceremony will be held in the East Palace in the palace. It is the custom of holding dinner parties in the palace.

When it was getting dark, the lights in Dexin Hall were bright. There are dozens of desks in the huge palace, which can accommodate a hundred people for dinner, and it doesn't look crowded at all. Moreover, those who can come to the dinner tonight are all dignitaries in the capital.

With the arrival of Emperor Xia and Empress Zhou Xiangyun, the dinner officially began. First, Emperor Xia spoke. I am very happy to get married. Tang Wang is my youngest son, and now he has a family and a career. How time flies! Where is Tang Wang?"

Xiao Yan was naturally also present. He would only go back to the bridal chamber after attending this dinner party.

"My son is here!" Xiao Yan was dressed in a bright red auspicious suit, and he was the brightest boy in the entire hall.

Emperor Xia said: "Getting married is getting married. From now on, you must take responsibility and at the same time establish a career. I have a word to warn the emperor and other princes: Aspire to Tao, rely on virtue, rely on benevolence, and practice art! As long as you do these four things in your life, it will be enough!"

"Your servant is taught!" Xiao Yan said, clasping his hands.

Emperor Xia nodded and said happily: "Today is your big wedding, and the civil and military courts of the whole dynasty are celebrating you. The ruler of the Great Xia is always the monarch, the minister, the father, the son, and the son. Today, the son is married. As a father, I not only want to send you Blessings, and congratulatory gifts, what does the emperor want? I will reward you today!"

It could be seen that Emperor Xia was really happy, asking Xiao Yan to ask for a reward, as long as it was not too much, he would probably agree.

Xiao Rui felt that His Majesty was cunning and seemed to be handing over the initiative to Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan really dared to ask for the big treasure?

Father, I want the throne!

Pull it out and cut it!

Father, I don't want the throne anymore, I want the crown prince!

Pull it out and cut it!

Look, I dare not want the best baby. As for other things, what good things are there?

However, based on Xiao Yan's playfulness, hey, let alone, he might really dare to ask for these two things.

The eyes of civil and military officials were all on Xiao Yan, appealing very curiously, and the eyes of several princes also locked on Xiao Yan, they all wanted to see what request he would make!

At this moment, everyone was watching Xiao Yan. He flicked his long sleeves and bowed his hands in salute. This time, he put away his former trance and became upright with an extraordinary demeanor: "Father, as the prince of Daxia, I have a family today. Tomorrow, you should start a career! To share the worries of the father and the emperor, and to be loyal to the Great Xia! The son already possesses the most precious wealth in the world! Born in the prosperous age of the Great Xia, the father is kind to his brothers and friends, and the people live and work in peace and contentment! So the son has nothing to ask for, I just beg for the consent of my father, that I can share my father's worries like King Ming..."

Having said this, the whole hall of civil and military officials began to look around and discuss in low voices.

Xiao Rui frowned, it seemed that Xiao Yan had already made up his mind.

"I implore my father to agree to allow my son to go out and manage the government affairs of a state! My thanks!" Xiao Yan said earnestly.

As soon as these words came out, the hall that had been discussing in low voices just now stopped abruptly.

Xiao Yan took the initiative to ask to herd Yizhou, becoming the first among the nine princes to voluntarily give up the crown prince?

Emperor Xia was also obviously taken aback, and asked, "Prince Tang, did you speak from the bottom of your heart?"

"My son's words come from the bottom of my heart, I implore my father for permission! Daxia has raised my son for seventeen years, and I am willing to use the rest of my life to repay him!" Xiao Yan said firmly.

Emperor Xia slapped the table and praised: "Good! I am very pleased that the king of Tang has this determination! The sage said: cultivate one's self, regulate one's family, rule the country and the world, and the emperor has grown up! I have agreed! Just a few days ago, Zhang Sanqian, the governor of Hangzhou, I have given you the permission to be an official, so you can go to Hangzhou, King Tang, and manage Hangzhou's government affairs well for me!"

Xiao Yan immediately received an order to thank you!

Xiao Rui was overjoyed, if King Ming knew about this, how would he feel about it? He was dispatched to Fuzhou, the most marginal city, but Xiao Yan was in Hangzhou, which is close to the capital city. Hangzhou is not only beautiful but also rich. It is one of the most prosperous states in the Great Xia Kingdom. It is not comfortable to be the governor there. !

Obviously, this is His Majesty's compensation for Xiao Yan's voluntary abandonment of the crown prince.

The other princes were not jealous, on the contrary, they were secretly delighted, they just liked this younger brother who knew the times, so good!

Xiao Yan retreated to his seat, and then sang along with Hai Dafu: "Let's feast!"

The maids of honor came up one after another with delicious food and wine, singing and dancing began to be performed, and the dinner was just beginning.

The singing and dancing started, and the lively atmosphere slowly rose.

Then it was time for civil and military officials to offer blessings. Although it was Xiao Yan's wedding, most of the blessings were dedicated to Emperor Xia, praising the prosperity and prosperity of Great Xia.

But at this moment, the princes are even more enthusiastic about performances. The eldest prince Xiao Lie wrote a poem, the second prince Xiao Yiheng also wrote lyrics, Xiao Ze, Xiao Feng, and Xiao Jing also presented poems and songs that had been prepared long ago. The atmosphere in the hall was agitated.

However, Xiao Rui only cared about drinking, but he didn't intend to participate. This made other civil and military ministers who wanted to present speeches to hesitate. They couldn't surpass Xian Wang, and broke the rules!

So the atmosphere that had just been mobilized suddenly froze, and everyone's eyes were locked on Xiao Rui.

Emperor Xia put down his wine glass and asked with a smile: "Today is a beautiful day, and it is the day of King Tang's great joy. I remember that among the princes, King Xian has the closest relationship with King Tang. King Xian, you have been drinking, there is nothing wrong with you." Anything to say?"

Xiao Rui got up and stood in the middle of the hall, and said with a smile: "The poems and songs of the princes all praise the glory of the Great Xia. The ministers have poems in their hearts, but they are to bless the king of Tang, and to praise the prosperous age. By the way, my son's poems praise love, so they seem small, so my son is not here to make a fool of himself!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the princes sank.

Today's dinner is for Xiao Yan's wedding, so we should give him blessings instead of praising His Majesty and prosperity. Of course, it's not impossible to praise the prosperous age, but it's just that there is a suspicion of flattery, and now Xiao Rui directly exposes it, so it seems embarrassing.

Emperor Xia was not angry, but asked with a smile: "Then read out your poems, let me listen to them, and let all the ministers present appreciate them. I believe the King of Tang is also looking forward to it!"

"My son has been expecting it for a long time!" Xiao Yan immediately stepped out, feeling very touched in his heart, it was still Seventh Brother who loved him the most!

Xiao Rui nodded and said: "Since that's the case, the minister is making a fool of himself! Listen, everyone..."

"Ten miles of Pinghu is covered with frost, and every inch of blue hair is worried about the beautiful years. I only look at the moon and protect each other. I only envy mandarin ducks but not immortals."

Xiao Rui's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze coming from a Buddha, outlining a beautiful picture of love in everyone's hearts.

Compared with other princes singing the praises of the prosperous age and the virtues of martial arts, the artistic conception of this poem gives people a completely different feeling.

In the hall, there was a complete silence, and Tang Wang praised in surprise: "Good poem!"

His Majesty murmured the last sentence, only envious of mandarin ducks but not immortals, who did not know who he thought of, with a gentle smile on his face.

After seeing this scene, the queen and all the noble concubines beside her felt their faces burning instantly.

His Majesty thought of other women, not the concubine present, so this is not a slap in the face?

Especially the empress Zhou Xiangyun, who married his wife, felt a sense of hostility and hatred in her heart. That damned woman is already dead, yet she has not been forgotten by His Majesty!

Emperor Xia came to his senses, and did not notice the Queen's thoughts, but said: "This poem is a blessing from King Xian to King Tang. I only envy mandarin ducks and not immortals! Only sincere feelings can write such emotional lines. .By the way, count the time, the mourning period for the mother of Champion Hou has passed!"

Xiao Rui responded: "Your Majesty, the three-year mourning period has passed yesterday!"

"Since it has passed, then your marriage with the champion's daughter can also be on the agenda! If that's the case, then take advantage of Tang Wang's big wedding, double happiness will come, and I will also bestow your marriage!" Xia Xia Huang laughed.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, before giving the marriage, there is one more thing I would like to ask Your Majesty to agree to?"

"Oh? What's the matter?" Emperor Xia asked.

Everyone in the hall was also curious, wondering what Xiao Rui was playing with.

Xiao Yiheng, king of Chu, endured it for a long time, and hurriedly came out, saying: "King Xian, today is the wedding day of King Tang. If you have other matters, you can talk about it tomorrow. Our ninth brother is still waiting for the wedding night in the bridal chamber." ! Why bother to make excuses here!"

"That's right! King Xian! You can't take advantage of today's happy event to take advantage of Father's joy and opportunistically ask for something!" Xiao Lie also spoke to stop him.

King Xian said with a smile: "What the two elder brothers are teaching is, but what this king is asking for is also related to my marriage, not other important matters. Don't worry, two elder brothers!"

At this time, Xiao Yan also assisted, and told: "Father, since King Xian said it was a marriage event, why don't you let him talk about it? My son is also very honored to be able to witness the marriage of King Xian on the day of great joy." , just like the father said, it is a happy event of double happiness!"

Emperor Xia nodded and said with a smile: "That's right! King Xian, tell me what you want and let me listen!"

"My son obeys the order!" After Xiao Rui nodded, his eyes swept to Xiao Yiheng, and when he looked at him, he showed a triumphant smile.

After Xiao Yiheng noticed it, he suddenly felt like a light was on his back, and he secretly screamed in his heart that there was danger!

He frowned deeply, and immediately suspected that Xiao Rui was playing another conspiracy, and it had something to do with him!
