Oriole Line

Chi's 2 elite soldiers were transferred to Beiman Mountain, of course, to deal with Pu Chen.Although Puchen's men and horses are small, all of them are experienced in many battles and are true masters of tigers and wolves.If these people wanted to rebel, the recruits stationed outside Luoyang would not be able to resist at all. Back then, Haril's troops who attacked Wuchang were several times as many as Pu Chen's and were defeated.So to be on the safe side, Zhou Yan specially asked Ye Chi to keep the most elite [-] defenders to focus on Puchen's [-] horses. I am sure that Puchen's men and horses will not be able to make any splashes this time.

But at this moment, Pu Chen was not thinking about the 2 horses stationed in Beimang Mountain.These 2 people are his blindfold. The 2 people in military uniform he brought from Wuchang are actually old and weak, and some of them don't even count as the word "Wuchang Army".Before they set off, they only practiced the formation to ensure that when they arrived in Luoyang, the army was in order.The real 1 elites from Wuchang have all disguised themselves as ordinary travelers and ordinary people, and together with the [-] horses secretly transferred by Zhou Yu from Luzhou, they hid outside Luoyang City, ready to go.The weapons and ordnance were transported to the tunnel dug by Xiang Hu in advance. When the time came, these people could go straight to Luoyang Palace from outside Luoyang city through the tunnel.

Seeing that the hour is approaching, Wen Tao urged Pu Chen to leave.Pu Chen sighed, stood up dragging his heavy wedding dress, and glanced at Wen Tao. As his master bookkeeper, Wen Tao would be by his side all the way today, so he also wore a red dress.It is rare for him to wear red, his facial features are already handsome, and he usually wears green and looks natural and elegant, but now he is wearing red, which is a little more gorgeous than usual.Pu Chen's eyes wandered back and forth on him, and even for a moment he didn't want to take him to Luoyang Palace, especially when he saw that the neckline of the dress he had handed over was not high, and the welt mark on the front of his neck was faintly visible when he bent over a little .He felt a little uncomfortable, thought for a moment and said, "Taotao, you can put the silver fox on."

Looking at the warm sky outside the window, Wen Tao was a little surprised and said, "It's not necessary, is it?"

"Put it on." Pu Chen said in an unquestionable tone, after a pause and as if trying to make amends, "The people in my Da Sima's mansion must not be too shabby."

Wen Tao saw that he was a little moody today, so he didn't want to disobey him, so he put on the scarf of the silver fox as he said, and this time the white fox lined up with the red clothes, he was truly unparalleled in the world.They walked out of the room side by side. Tang Yu and the others were already waiting in the courtyard. When they saw the two of them, their eyes flickered. My Patriarch and Wen Tao are impressed by their beauty.

At noon, the ceremony started on time.

Above the Shenwu Hall, Zhou Yan looked happy, and all the officials of His Highness also smiled and congratulated each other.The auspicious time has come, and the ceremonial guard of the Ministry of Rites led the newcomers to enter slowly from outside the hall.The groom, Pu Chen, was expressionless as always, but he was already handsome and handsome, and under the background of his wedding clothes, he also had a touch of humanity that he didn't usually have.The bride, Princess Nanping, turned her face away with a fan. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, it goes without saying that she was full of nobility.The two walked to the front of the hall and bowed to Zhou Yan.

Taichang presided over the grand ceremony, and said in a loud voice: "Yi Zheng Qian Kun, couples are the beginning of human relations; poetry Zhou Zhao, marriage is the source of kingship. Zhou Pu's marriage is a sign of prophecy and prosperity, and the prosperity of the great scene, a contract signed together, a good relationship will last forever , the grand ceremony is ready, and the ceremony is complete. The Luan and Phoenix are singing in harmony, and the katydid is in auspicious leaves."

After the congratulations, all the officials bowed down to congratulate the New Year together.

Zhou Yan got up, and the waiter on the side followed closely. On the tray was a gold jug inlaid with white jade and agate, and three gold cups.Zhou Yan approached Puchen and Nanping step by step, filled the three gold cups in person, and said gently to Puchen and Nanping: "Today is your great joy, and it is also the great joy of the world. I will give you the imperial wine, and from now on we will be We're a family now. Nanping grew up in the palace, so it's inevitable that he will be spoiled, and I hope Da Sima will take care of him." After finishing speaking, he asked the servant to pass a glass of wine to Pu Chen.

Just as Pu Chen was about to take it, she suddenly heard Princess Nanping say: "Brother Huang, wait a minute." Nanping's face was hidden behind the fan and tassels, and no one could see her expression.But her voice was calm and composed, with a tone of intimacy between brothers and sisters.All the officials knew that Princess Nanping was the emperor's only single mother and sister, needless to say the friendship with the emperor.It stands to reason that the bride should not have spoken at such a grand ceremony, but the eldest princess of Nanping is different after all, so all the officials stared with bated breath to see what the eldest princess raised in the deep palace would have to say.

Zhou Yan's eyes flickered, and when he was about to speak, he heard Nan Ping say to the servant: "Put it down, I haven't talked to Brother Huang yet."

The servant tremblingly put down the golden cup, Nan Ping took a step forward, and with a flick of his hand, his wide sleeve brushed against the tray. In a blink of an eye, she picked up the glass of wine in front of her, and said to Zhou Yan: "Brother Huang is not only the Son of Heaven today, He is also the elder brother of Nanping. When a daughter is married in the folk, the bride always has to offer tea to her parents before she goes out. The emperor treats Nanping like a father, so Nanping should respect the emperor first with this glass of wine."

Zhou Yan's expression was uncertain, but she saw that Nanping lowered the fan a little bit, and her eyebrows and eyes were indistinct behind the tassels.She raised her eyes, and her eyes moved, just like their mother.Zhou Yan's heart moved, remembering that their mother and queen died young, and the late emperor did not love them very much. In those long and dark years when he was the prince, only Nanping was his real relative.Zhou Yan felt emotional in his heart, picked up a glass of wine in front of him and said: "Although I am the son of heaven, I am also your elder brother. Our mother died young, and I owe you a lot because of the busy affairs of the country. Today, I finally see you with great joy. Day, in my heart, I am very happy."

When Zhou Yan said the last few words, all the officials were a little moved.He and Nan Ping drank the wine in the cup, poured another glass for themselves, then gave the wine to Pu Chen and said: "Da Sima is laughing."

Pu Chen politely said: "No problem." After finishing speaking, he took the golden cup and drank it all in one gulp.

The time moved forward little by little, and the procedures of the grand ceremony were advanced in an orderly manner. When the time came, it was the last big gift for the bride and groom in the Shenwu Hall. They worshiped the heaven and the earth, the emperor, all the officials, and then the husband and wife worshiped each other, so the ceremony was completed. The wedding ceremony is over.Afterwards, Zhou Yan will hold a banquet for all the officials in Shangyang Hall.

At this moment, Wen Tao, who had been accompanying Pu Chen all this time, took a deep breath silently, and was finally about to start.

According to his original plan, the event will be held at the Shangyang Hall banquet later.It will take time for Puchen and Zhou Yu's troops outside the city to enter the palace, and it will also take time to control the imperial army inside the palace. The later the incident, the better their preparations.If it was held at the Shangyang Palace banquet, it was almost Youshi, and all the officials were slightly drunk, even Zhou Yan would relax his vigilance to some extent, and it was easiest to hit him with one blow.But Pu Chen was unwilling to live or die. His bottom line was that before the wedding ceremony with the princess was officially completed, he had to start making trouble.

"Once the ceremony is completed, she will be my wife. No matter whether she lives or dies, she will be buried in the Pu family's ancestral grave. I don't want to." Pu Chen has a firm attitude, "Zhou Yan's sister, never marry into the Pu family, never Enter Pu's ancestral grave."

Wen Tao had no choice but to arrange the incident as the last step of the ceremony.It's just that in this way, the control of time is extremely strict, and their cooperation with Dai Wang must be seamless.

"The newlyweds worship heaven and earth." Taichang said with a long tail.

Nan Ping walked slowly to the designated place, and was about to kneel down, when suddenly Pu Chen didn't move and was still standing there.She suddenly had an ominous premonition.

"Da Sima, why don't you kneel?" Zhou Yan said.

Pu Chen raised his head and looked directly at Zhou Yan, his eyes suddenly showed the ruthlessness of the day when the mutiny in Chaoyang Palace was a few years ago.He said loudly: "I, Puchen, will not kneel down to the national traitor who secretly informed Beiyan!"

76, 76.

Zhou Yan was startled, and quickly winked at the servant beside him, asking him to check if Puchen's soldiers and horses had moved.He didn't show any emotion on his face, and he didn't even let his smile go away: "Why did Da Sima say that?"

Pu Chen sneered: "Your Majesty knows it well. In the battle of Wuchang three years ago, Haril assembled a hundred thousand Beiyan main force. He originally planned to capture Wuchang in one fell swoop. And Haril can have such ambitions precisely because of his There is tar sent by His Majesty himself."

All the officials in the hall were in a state of joy, but unexpectedly, Pu Chen made an attack in public. The elderly Tai Chang, who was supposed to preside over the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth, stood blankly at this moment, while the Princess Nanping in full costume on the other side was even more embarrassed.

Seeing that the servant hadn't come back yet, Zhou Yan continued to say with a pleasant face, "The Battle of Wuchang happened four years ago. The Great Sima defeated Beiyan. I will never forget this credit. As for the tar, there must be some misunderstanding Why should Da Sima be obsessed with these trivial matters now? The auspicious time is about to be missed, and Da Sima should finish the ceremony of worshiping heaven and earth first. We are a real family. If there is any misunderstanding, we can carefully discuss it after the ceremony. Discuss."

Pu Chen was unmoved in the slightest, he glanced at Wen Tao from the corner of his eye, and saw him nodding his head lightly, so he said loudly: "Your Majesty colludes with foreigners, mutilates siblings, and is not worthy of being a king. I, a son of the Pu family, will never Marry Your Majesty's sister!"

Zhou Yan forced himself to remain calm, and said with a sneer, "It turns out that Da Sima didn't want to have a big wedding ceremony at all today, and Da Sima is plotting treason today."

At this time, the servant who had just been dispatched came back to report, and whispered in Zhou Yan's ear that there was no news from Commander Ye Da.

Zhou Yan was very suspicious. Since none of the people brought by Pu Chen had changed, what was the purpose of Pu Chen's public attack at this moment?Do you throw yourself into the trap?He didn't believe that Puchen would do such a stupid thing.Right now, the big wedding can't go on, and Pu Chen can't let him talk anymore.

"Come on, big
