Devil’s Advent

The welcoming procession is on its way.

Ji Chengjue sat high on the white horse, with a reserved smile on his face, but what was revealed on his body was a kind of true self-confidence and magnanimity.

It's been a long time,

It's been a really long time,

Obviously he is the prince,

But in front of outsiders, he had already forgotten when was the last time he acted like this.

People are happy when they have a happy event. Perhaps, the only regret now is that the person surnamed Zheng is not here now. Otherwise, if he is riding a horse and being his best man, today will be the real consummation.

It's a pity that the person surnamed Zheng couldn't see his high-spirited side today.

The team crossed the front street, and soon, they ran into another team. This team was composed of floats. The so-called floats were not the ones with wheels, but consisted of more than ten to nearly a hundred people. It was carried by different strengths below, and above it was a platform, and the surroundings of the platform were decorated extremely delicately.

On each float,

Or a young woman dances lightly,

Or there is a veiled girl showing her singing voice,

Or there is playing the qin and reciting, or there is the crisp movement of the pipa,

Maybe there is a fair-skinned man who recites poems and composes poems more beautiful than that woman,

Or there are Yingying Yanyan skirts fluttering to draw out the fragrant wind;

Their appearance attracted the attention of several nearby streets, and crowds of people continued to flock here.

When the welcoming team arrives,

The floats take the initiative to retreat,

When Ji Chengjue walked over on horseback,

What I heard was a very respectful singing:

Xunfang Pavilion hereby wishes the newlyweds of the host family good luck!

Michunyuan would like to wish the owner a happy marriage for a hundred years!

Xilanting is here to wish the master an early birth to a son!

Fuliutai hereby wishes the owner happiness and happiness!

The Cowherd House hereby wish the owner a harmonious and beautiful life!

Ji Chengjue was just laughing, and waved his hand as a response.

Yanjing is a good place. It is no exaggeration to say that it is the most prosperous place with the deepest heritage in the whole of Yanjing. Even if it is not as good as the paradise on earth with the peach rain in the south of the Yangtze River, those who want to play can play and can play. Things are bound to be numerous.

today,

All the places with famous flowers and willows in Yanjing City sent their top oirans to appear on the stage.

You know, on weekdays, even if you have a big pocket, you have to look at your luck if you want to see one of them, but today, they all appear here like street performers, just to attract The gaze is just to give the sixth prince and their boss a big boost on their big wedding day!

With their appearance, they quickly attracted great popularity, and most of the people in Yanjing City began to gather here.

This is a very realistic thing,

The court officials chose an indifferent attitude towards the sixth prince's wedding, because they were likely to eat the prince's food in the future.

But these places of brothels are extremely enthusiastic, the reason is very simple, they are eating the food of the sixth prince now!

Big man, why did you put away this banner again?

The sword maid sitting on Fan Li's shoulder asked.

There's no need to hang up. Fan Li replied.

Who told you to hang up? My lord?

Yes, the lord originally asked me to hang up when the sixth prince got married, but now I think there's no need to hang up.

Why don't you hang up,

Because what was embroidered on the banner was: All girls from Yihongyuan brand A brand wish His Royal Highness the sixth highness a happy wedding!

However, after seeing such scenes, even Fan Li felt that there was no need to hang up this banner.

My lord, it's not that I don't listen to you and do things, but that I don't care about these at all, because I am the biggest old bustard in the capital.

...

absurd!

On the south wall of the imperial palace, Emperor Yan stood there, listening to the narrations of groups of eunuchs who came over, and after hearing this scene, he spit out these two words directly.

The majestic Prince Yan actually manages this business for a living. If it gets out, won't he be laughed out of his teeth?

However, the effect was very clearly visible. Standing on the city wall at this time, the Emperor Yan could clearly see that the flow of people began to surge towards the wedding procession on the few streets he could see.

Big wedding, big wedding, want to support this scene, no one, how can I do it?

Wei Zhonghe was beside him, bent over, trembling.

Even an eunuch like him finds this kind of thing inconceivable. The most important thing is that the secret agent failed to find out this kind of relationship. It seems that this business is not directly handled by the sixth prince, but someone chosen to be the boss , hiding itself behind the scenes.

At the same time, the bosses on the bright side are all the fronts of the rich and powerful, which is equivalent to adding another layer of cover, making people mistakenly think that they are the property of the rich and powerful.

Thinking of this, Wei Zhonghe subconsciously swallowed his saliva. Although the rich and powerful who are willing to come forward to do this kind of business are not very big, because the real big and powerful need face, it is enough to show that secretly, the six princes have already woven a Opening a net, and he was unaware of the existence of this net?

Look at His Majesty's reaction again, as if he didn't know it beforehand.

It seems that my colleague was not without omissions during the investigation.

But after anger,

Emperor Yan's anger turned to the household department again,

The gang of Hubu's wine bags and rice bags!

Wei Zhonghe breathed a sigh of relief, yes, he failed to find out, because His Majesty did not expressly order him to investigate thoroughly. Although he paid more attention to it on weekdays, the intensity was different after all.

But at the beginning, His Majesty had specially decreed that the Household Department should take over the property from His Highness the Sixth Highness.

so,

Those officials and lords in the household department who eat vegetarian food, do they really pretend to be full of fatty roast duck in their minds!

It is Quandelou Roast Duck Restaurant.

After the Ministry of Accounts took over, the deposit has also dropped by 50%!

...

A group of floats carrying oirans attracted a large group of eyes, and because these floats followed the wedding procession, the places where the wedding procession passed were crowded with people.

The team just entered Baihua Street,

A chorus of shouts came:

Zhao Sihai, the treasurer of Nanwang Commercial Bank, congratulates the young master, get up!

rise!

rise!

rise!

On the street, a group of men dressed in red silk appeared, carrying heavy baskets in their hands, which were full of copper coins and broken silver.

Accompanied by the word start one after another,

Money began to rain on the street.

This is the serious money rain, the real money rain, ordinary nobles would sprinkle wedding money on their way to welcome their relatives, but it is just for auspiciousness, usually it is children scrambling to pick it up on the ground, adults I'm not too embarrassed to bend over, because after all, there are few.

But it turns out that modesty and face, these things are only available before the money is not enough;

Once the money is enough, these things have long been thrown to Java.

Money poured down,

The people fell into madness, and the atmosphere was directly ignited.

The young and old in Yanjing City, their daughters, daughters-in-law and daughters-in-law are also very interesting. It is true that they took your money, but auspicious words, it is not left behind.

What is the auspicious wedding of His Royal Highness, and the blessings and longevity of His Royal Highness, which can be called rising waves.

said with no exaggeration,

Even when Yan Huangluan drove out of the palace, the common people shouted long live and there was no such hustle and bustle!

After seeing this scene, some elderly people in Yanjing City couldn't help thinking of the past.

then,

It's also the prince's wedding.

There have been exactly the same scenes.

The exquisite thirty-two bridal sedan chairs,

The rain of money falling all over the sky,

That astounding luxury,

This scene,

It once appeared in Yanjing City, but today, it happened again.

only,

The prince who rode a white horse in the past is now the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, destroying the country and opening up the border, he can be called the hero;

And the beautiful woman who was married in the sedan chair had already passed away for many years, and she couldn't even find a spiritual seat in the grave;

The Min family that once organized the most extravagant wedding in Dayan's history was annihilated in the past earlier than the aristocratic families.

A family of businesses,

shopkeepers one by one,

Keep singing and drinking your own name,

Some of them were originally in Yanjing City, but many of them came back from outside the city just to attend their boss, their young master's big wedding.

For those shopkeepers who were personally supported by Ji Chengjue, today is their glorious day;

But for those old bosses who are left behind in the Min family, today is their remembrance of the past, the remembrance of the Min family lintel where the tentacles of the East extended to the West.

The children's carnival, the middle-aged people let go of their restraint, the old people's nostalgia for the past because they couldn't squeeze in,

Scenes, piles, are destined to be remembered by the people of Yanjing City for another 20 or 30 years!

And amidst the hustle and bustle of the crowd at this time, there was a pair of father and son with red eyes, destined not to attract any attention.

Ji Chengjue's gaze,

Can't help but look at the palace again,

distance is too far,

So it is impossible for him to see the figure standing on the imperial city now,

But in the dark, there seems to be a feeling.

as you can see,

as you can see,

You, see it.

I can make money, I can run the business, I can make the Min family's industry continue to flourish, and I can make money with my hands;

today,

I lifted my cards,

Just to show you, you have to show me well, father!

Don't you want to sweep the world and replace Xia with Yan?

Don't you want to expand the territory and become an emperor through the ages?

I can give you money and food support, I can run it for you, I can maintain it for you, and I can help you realize your long-cherished wish.

Of course you can suppress me as before, deprive me of everything, punish those who are related to me,

But are you willing?

Are you willing to give up your long-cherished wish, give up your grand plan and hegemony, and just let it go?

...

Wei Zhonghe saw that His Majesty was silent.

as a slave,

He didn't dare to try to guess the emperor's mind at this time.

Is His Majesty angry?

Angry at what your son has concealed from you for so many years?

or,

Today's deja vu scene,

Reminds His Majesty of that woman back then?

That woman who made two sets of new clothes for all the servants and servants in the palace as soon as she entered the palace?

Wei Zhonghe now still remembers the scene when he was just a little eunuch in the palace and took the red seal from that woman. At that time, he only felt that the red seal in his hand was very heavy.

Your name is Wei Zhonghe?

Yes, the slave's humble name is Wei Zhonghe.

Do you have a family?

The slave is an orphan.

That's really a pity, no one can give money to your family to win you over.

Otherwise, hurry up and adopt a godson. My father told me that if money falls into your hands but cannot be spent, it is no different from a rock on a mountain.

master……

What's wrong?

The servant is still acting as a godson to Eunuch Sun.

Success, then tell me when you are ready to adopt your godson. I will help you buy a house. You are His Royal Highness's personal companion. I want to bribe you well. Don't be shy. Oh, what do you say? , Is my bribe too obvious to embarrass you?

master……

It's okay, next time you tell me secretly, you have to fight hard, it's so boring to always be someone's godson.

somehow,

Wei Zhonghe's mind suddenly appeared the picture of the former master of the Min family marrying into the palace.

now,

He, Wei Zhonghe, was in charge of the secret spy department as the official supervisor of Dayan's inner palace;

Not to mention godsons, there are countless godsons. When the little eunuch in the palace saw him, he had to call out his ancestors.

But the master of the Min family,

But he couldn't see his prestige today.

Suddenly,

Wei Zhonghe's heart shuddered, and he began to recite the qi refining formula quickly and silently, forcibly suppressing these external thoughts in his body.

immediately,

Wei Zhonghe heaved a sigh of relief when he raised his head in fear and found that His Majesty was still silent with his back to him.

some people, some things,

The master can go nostalgic, can miss, can go sentimental,

But if they are slaves, if they dare to show the slightest bit, they will be truly doomed!

…

The welcoming team passed through Baihua Street and arrived at the gate of Lu Mansion.

At the entrance of the Lu residence, lights and festoons have been carefully arranged.

At the same time, all the men, women and children of the Lu family stood outside, waiting for the line.

Not long after the news that the welcoming team was coming, the old matriarch, dressed in obedience, walked out with his left hand on a crutch and his right hand supported by a maidservant.

Sitting on the horseback, Ji Chengjue hurriedly got off the horse,

Walked up to the old lady and knelt down:

Grandma, grandson got married today.

The old lady stretched out her hand to touch Ji Chengjue's face, and said:

Little Six, after we get married, we are really grown-ups, we can be regarded as real grown-ups, we can stand upright, and we can't lose our normal form.

Thank you grandma for your teaching, my grandson will remember.

At this moment, Lu Bing, who was standing on the steps of the door, said;

It's not that easy to marry my daughter.

As soon as his voice fell,

A group of children from the Lu family laid out couplets, lantern riddles, etc. When a commoner family holds a wedding ceremony, they may drink and play tricks to make things difficult for the groom and officials, but a wealthy family should pay attention to a little bit of elegance.

Lu Bing pointed to those behind him and said with a smile:

I can't finish the answer, but I can't enter the door of my Lu family.

Ji Chengjue nodded, also with a smile on his face.

Shaoqing,

A group of young officials and gentlemen from various ministries and departments who obviously just took leave came out in official robes.

For a while, the originally noisy scene suddenly quieted down.

Because the previous bustle was forced by the shopkeepers of the commercial bank, and no official figures appeared.

But right now, the appearance of these people marks the emergence of an unusual aura.

Even Lu Bing's gaze froze slightly.

Some things, in fact, the big bosses of the court have already noticed some things through the downfall of the Minister of the Household Department, but because the imperial examination is a national policy handed down by His Majesty, no one really dares to do anything to these officials who are not many Jinshi. to investigate.

But today, there is no need to investigate, because they have already come out on their own initiative.

Dozens of young officials bowed down to Ji Chengjue:

We wish the benefactor a happy marriage and an early birth to a precious son!

Ji Chengjue waved his hand impatiently,

pointing to the front,

road:

Don't dawdle, answer the questions for Gu first!

…

Wei Zhonghe's breathing slowed down a lot at this moment.

Jinshi and first degree,

disciple of the Son of Heaven,

How dare they appear in unison and call a prince benefactor in public, what does this mean, what exactly does it mean!

Wei Zhonghe knew that the nature of the matter had changed.

What His Highness the Sixth Prince is showing now is no longer just satisfying business ethics, but telling the world openly that he, Ji Chengjue, is cultivating his trusted ministers, supporting his wings,

he,

To seize the heir!

Because of these things, only the East Palace can do it in a legitimate way. Even if the other princes want to collude with some ministers secretly, they only dare to do so secretly. How can it be so straightforward?

Wei Zhonghe looked at Emperor Yan carefully again,

He noticed that Emperor Yan's palm was trembling slightly.

At this time, Emperor Yan,

eyes downcast,

Wave after wave of eunuchs kept running back and forth, narrating what was happening at the wedding scene.

It seems that a kind of fateful reincarnation is repeating itself today.

The original him,

I have personally experienced the terrifying financial resources of my father-in-law, the Min family.

They use money to pave the road, use money to connect people, use money to support officials, and money, like the water of a river, fills all the gaps in the ground under their feet.

only,

A reenactment is a reenactment,

Reincarnation is reincarnation,

But the pressure and depth of the past are gone.

It's not because the current him is already the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, with centralized power.

but because,

Once the host of the big wedding,

Already from the ambitious old Patriarch of the Min family,

became his own son.

Wei Zhonghe, who was beside him, was still cautiously waiting for His Majesty's wrath,

But suddenly heard the laughing and cursing from His Majesty:

Oh, you little bastard.
