The rebirth of the prince and his wife

The Yingyang Banquet in Zhaoguo refers to the palace examination where the martial arts candidates from all over the country gather in Chang'an, and then the chief examiner of Chang'an selects the top [-] candidates for the palace examination.

Eighteen martial arts jinshi competed at the banquet. After the emperor hand-picked the champion, second place, and Tanhua, the top nine stayed in the court, and the last nine were released as officials.

Both the military examination and the literary examination are held every three years, but there is a big difference between them. The literary examination is a gathering of genuine students from all over the world, and there is no threshold. Glory, but the martial arts test is different. Although it is said that candidates from various martial arts tests gather in Chang'an, most of them are recommended by local officials, and most of the candidates are from official families.

Because students from poor families only need to study hard for ten years in the literary test, and if they have the root of wisdom, they will surely become a tool, but the martial arts test requires the guidance of a famous teacher.

The Jokhang emperors of all dynasties seemed to be aware of this. Although there was no way to stop it, there was a compromise. This method was an unwritten rule. Although there was no express law, everyone understood it. If there are children from aristocratic families who participate in martial arts, there can only be one family. That is, if Lao Tzu is an official, the eldest son will not be able to participate in martial arts, and the second son will not be able to participate. Even if he participates, he will not be reused. Brothers and fathers and sons hold too much power, especially if the martial arts involves military power.

However, the court has always been three people become tigers, there are no father and son brothers, and there are in-laws and brothers-in-law.

Just like King Wen's lineage now, the father-in-law is Zuo Xiang, and he pointed out the concubine of Zuo Xiang's family to Chu Yu at the beginning, one is to let him marry a male wife and warn him, and the other is to let him turn against Zuo Xiang's family, so as to prevent him from privately Befriended and wooed ministers, but the emperor of the nine-fold deep palace never expected that Chu Yu not only did not anger the concubine of the Gu family, but the young couple was very affectionate, and made a good story, which made King Wen's prestige in the hearts of the people day by day even higher After all, those who have achieved great military exploits and are well-known among the princes rarely have a man who spoils his wife and family. Moreover, this man was born in the royal family. He is a tragic hero who attaches great importance to love and righteousness, so he will naturally win the hearts of the people.

Chu Yu, who is popular and holds the military power, has made Emperor Desheng embarrassing. There is nothing wrong with King Wen in terms of emotion and reason, but he is the emperor, and the emperor is suspicious by nature, so he has to guard against it from the bottom of his heart, so he He summoned back the two princes who were opposed to King Wen.

The emperor naturally didn't want his prince to have a brother-in-law fight, but Wanli Jiangshan must not be careless at all, the dilemma is nothing more than this.

Just when the Ministry of Rituals was stepping up the arrangements, before we knew it, it was the eighth day of the eighth day, the day of the eagle banquet.

In Prince Wen's mansion, Gu Youning tied the black dragon belt symbolizing the prince's honor around Chu Yu's waist, then raised his head and helped him straighten his outer shirt, then said impatiently: "It's such a hot day, wearing so much in the sun It's too much to go down there and bask in the sun, what are you going to do in a martial arts competition?"

"All the civil and military officials have always been present in the palace examination. I am the head of the generals. It would be shameful not to go to the military examination now." Chu Yu pinched his chin and kissed the corner of his mouth, and then said: "You don't have to wait for me for lunch. Yes, I will take you to the south of the city when I come back tonight, a group of people from the Western Regions came the day before yesterday, and they specialize in selling fruit wine, which is very fresh."

What's so fresh is wine.

Gu Youning still looked very unhappy, stretched out his hand and pulled Chuyu's Qingluo's black gold court clothes, and said: "If you wear so much and it's so hot, you will definitely suffer from heat stroke, otherwise you should take an umbrella."

Chu Yu laughed: "What do you do with an umbrella when it's not cloudy?"

"Enjoy the coolness!!!"

Gu Youning looked at him with some sympathy. Those who were born in the royal family and have a title usually wear according to their grades when they meet the saints, not to mention the martial arts exam where hundreds of officials are present. It's just that the court clothes are too thick. Standing outside can be hot to death.

"It's okay, I'm used to it, and it won't take long." Chu Yu comforted him.

Gu Youning sighed helplessly, and then said: "Let the people following me bring some mung bean soup to drink with water, and drink it if it feels hot."

Chu Yu smiled and nodded, his eyes were full of doting, and he said in a low voice for a long time: "The princess is really virtuous."

Gu Youning rolled his eyes at him, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "When you become the emperor, you must improve the court clothes, otherwise I won't wear clothes!"

"No clothes?" Chu Yu was shocked.

"Of course, if you become the emperor, then I will be the queen. You don't need to think about the clothes of the queen, but you feel very hot and heavy. If you don't improve it, I will run around naked. If you don't believe me, try it! "

"Dare!!" Chu Yu stretched out his hand to pinch his waist, and said, "Only I can see you without clothes."

Gu Youning hid for a while with a smile, and then said: "Okay, stop making trouble, you will be sweating again, let's go quickly, don't go late, or those officials will find fault again."

Gu Youning's tone was a little annoyed, because a few days ago Chu Yu got a piece of pure white Qingluo smoke gauze, this kind of material is the coolest to wear in summer, and it is exquisite and luxurious, the price of a piece is not less than a hundred gold, it is the favorite concubine in the palace They may not be able to use this kind of material, Chu Yu has always been concerned about Gu Youning's clothes and food, and in a hurry, he had someone embroider gold thread cloud patterns to make Gu Youning's clothes.

Unexpectedly, this made the officials in the court say that they were arrogant and extravagant. Although they said that the officials were always looking for trouble, and Emperor De Sheng didn't take it to heart, it was enough to make people angry. He is disgusting! ! !

"En." Chu Yu raised his hand to brush his hair, hugged him into his arms and kissed him, then let him go and said, "I'm leaving."

Gu Youning nodded, followed him to the gate, watched him get into the carriage and drove away before turning back.

A banquet was held in the Guangyun Garden of the Imperial Palace. Eighteen warriors from all over the world gathered together, standing side by side in double rows. On both sides were civil and military officials.

The emperor's Luanjia is still in the future, and the top three have not yet been decided. These men who have been counting nine cold days since they were young and started to learn from teachers, finally reached the most important time.If it is designated as the top three, it is even more honoring the ancestors and conferring the title of wife and son.

Chu Yu sat in the first place and lowered his head, holding a glazed celadon teacup. Inside was the mung bean soup that Gu Youning specially told him to bring. It was chilled and slightly cool, but it was refreshing at this time, and it was the most refreshing under the hot summer sun. up.

Chu Cheng looked at the tea bowl in Chu Yu's hand from the opposite side. It didn't look like it was from the palace. It must have been brought by Prince Wen's mansion himself. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and suddenly frowned. A silver ring, just a simple silver ring. He also saw Gu Youning wearing it outside the restaurant that day. Both of them wore rings of the same style, so they were probably engagement tokens.

I have seen people giving jade sachets, and I have seen rings worn on fingers, but those are all inlaid with emerald gemstones. I have never seen such a simple style. Although it is simple, it has a deep meaning. People's minds are so unique.

Chu Cheng's face was gloomy, and he clenched his fists. After staying in the imperial tomb for a few months, his state of mind was not as clear as before. It may be because in the imperial tomb, he was alone all day long, thinking about Yes, they were all from that person, but if he could look carefully, he would see the names of the two people crookedly engraved on the ring, and a heart-shaped pattern was drawn in the middle.

It was a pairing ring that Gu Youning sent someone to make, and he himself engraved it on it, because one day he suddenly remembered that in the past, in modern times, couples would have a pairing ring when they got married, so he also ordered one for himself and Chu Yu, Although the words he engraved were ugly, but Chuyu's precious ones were like something, and he refused to take them off for a moment, even taking them with him when taking a bath.

After a few words, a gong sounded not far away, and the emcee and eunuch sang loudly.

"The emperor is here!!!!!!!!!!"

All the officials stood up and kowtowed, three shouts of long live to welcome the holy king.
