In the first year of Chang'an in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, Wu Zhao made Li Dan the crown prince.

In the fifth year of Chang'an, Wu Zhao abdicated.

Li Dan ascended the throne as the emperor, and the name of the restoration of the country was Tang, and he pardoned the world.

As the king of Nanyue, Luo Shixing set off for Luoyang early in the morning by water.

He lay on the side of the boat looking at the blue sea and the dotted fishing boats and said, "We haven't been to Luoyang for six years, and we don't know what it's like there now."

Cheng Jingwei helped him put on a cloak and said, "If you miss this time, stay a little longer."

While the two of them were talking, a few people walked out of the cabin and were talking about something.

Luo Shixing turned his head and saw that King Luo Bin was talking with Li Youdao and the others. At this time, King Luo Bin no longer wore a monk's robe and was only dressed like an ordinary scholar.

Xu has been raised well in the past two years, and now he is no longer as dry and thin as when we met again, and the wrinkles on his face are much less, and he looks much younger than then.

King Luo Bin felt his gaze, and waved to him with a smile: "Lynx cat, come here."

Luo Shixing walked over immediately: "Father, what's the matter?"

King Luo Bin reached out to help him fasten the cloak and asked, "Is it really okay if I go?"

Luo Shixing lowered his head slightly, and now he was half a head taller than King Luo Bin, and said indifferently: "It's really all right, His Majesty has already pardoned the world, and your sins will naturally be pardoned."

King Luo Bin was still a little worried. He was charged with treason back then, which is generally not included in the amnesty of the world.

But Luo Shixing knew what he was worried about, held his hand and said, "Don't worry, it's really fine."

Cheng Jingwei also came up and said: "Uncle, don't worry, there should be no one in Luoyang who knows you in the past many years. Even if someone saw it, he wouldn't dare to check the Nanyue Palace if he had the guts."

Luo Shixing nodded vigorously: "Yes, I will scold anyone who dares to object."

King Luo Bin couldn't help but smiled and shook his head: "You guys."

However, his heart has indeed stabilized a lot. As Cheng Jingwei said, when Wu Zhao was in power and Luo Shixing was in full swing, no one dared to provoke him. Now that the emperor changed, he still received preferential treatment, and no one dared to provoke him.

Everyone knows that the king of Nanyue extended a helping hand when the new emperor was in the most difficult time, and never asked for anything in return. Li Dan's family are all affectionate people, and they treated Luo Shixing very preferentially. does not exist.

Many people feel that this man is lucky and far-sighted, so naturally they are even more afraid to provoke him.

In this enthronement ceremony, Luo Shixing's position had long been determined to be the first place, even surpassing Di Renjie.

Even if he has the throne in his hand, it is more extraordinary. Above the county king, there are princes. The sons of His Majesty are all princes, not to mention the royal relatives who have no officials and courtiers do not stand on the same page. Together.

No matter how you look at it, it means that the new emperor attaches great importance to Luo Shixing, and whoever is so short-sighted would dare to provoke him.

After King Luo Bin was relieved, he went to find Li Youdao and the others again.

Back then, when King Luo Bin followed Luo Shixing back to South Vietnam, he was worried that he would not get used to it or would drag his son down. Later, when he met Li Youdao and others, he found a confidant.

Li Youdao and others were about the same age as him, and although their experiences were not quite the same, they had all encountered ups and downs, not to mention that they had a common language - Luo Shixing.

Li Youdao is naturally willing to make friends with King Luo Bin, and King Luo Bin wants to hear from these people what his young son has experienced over the years. Ever since Luo Shixing's poems spread throughout the Zhou Dynasty, King Luo Bin already knew his whereabouts, but he didn't know Dare to find Luo Shixing.

On the one hand, it was because of guilt, and on the other hand, it was because he was worried that his appearance would bring disaster to his son.

However, he could hear too little news about Luo Shixing. Unless something major happened, he would not know about Luo Shixing's recent situation at all.

The reunion before was also because he heard that the emperor was going to enshrine Zen. According to the folk description of Luo Shixing at that time, he felt that his son would definitely follow him, and he didn't ask for anything, just wanted to take a look at him from a distance.

Later, after the reunion, Luo Shixing didn't mention much about what happened in the past, and often just passed it by.

King Luo Bin wanted to know very much, so he naturally wanted to start with the people around him.

It was also because of this that he became acquainted with Cheng Jingwei. No one knew better than Cheng Jingwei what had happened in these years. He and Luo Shixing were the ones who really supported each other along the way.

Luo Binwang was originally a little awkward because his son had found a man to accompany him all his life, but he couldn't say anything because of his guilt.

After knowing what happened in the past few years, King Luo Bin changed his attitude.

Why should a person who is really worth being with for a lifetime care about the other party's gender?As for the inheritance of the Luo family... If his youngest son was not strong, brave and smart, the Luo family would not have a future. At least their father and son are reunited now.

After arriving in Luoyang, Luo Shixing went directly to the palace to meet people. Everyone thought he was going to see His Majesty first, but Luo Shixing went to see Wu Zhao first.

Just when he got there, Li Dan was there with a large family, and said to him with a smile: "It's a coincidence that you came here just in time for dinner."

Luo Shixing raised his eyebrows: "That's not true, I just came here on a pinch."

After finishing speaking, he greeted Wu Zhao, Li Dan and others, but when he saluted Li Chengqi and others, Li Chengqi stepped forward to help him up before he bent down and said with a smile: "Don't be too polite, sit down quickly. .”

Although they didn't call Luo Shixing Uncle, they still remembered it in their hearts.

Maybe it was just Li Dan's joke back then, but over the years, Luo Shixing has been really kind to his brothers, and he has written letters to care about their basic necessities of life, and he can tell him many things that cannot be said to his parents, elders and subordinates, and he never will speak out.

Even though we haven't seen each other for so many years, everyone is still close to him.

Empress Liu was naturally very close to him because of his life-saving grace back then.

After Luo Shixing greeted them, he took a serious look at Wu Zhao. Wu Zhao was already very old at this time, and no matter how well maintained he could see the signs of the passage of time.

She rarely looked very relaxed, and asked with a smile: "What are you looking at? You haven't seen each other for a few years?"

Luo Shixing said slightly relieved: "No, I see that the Supreme Emperor is healthy and happy."

Yes, Wu Zhao's abdication this time is not still the Queen Mother as in history, but is revered as the Supreme Emperor.

Before that, Luo Shixing had been worried that the coercion incident would happen again, but now it doesn't look like it.

After eating, Wu Zhao asked Li Dan's family to go back, leaving Luo Shixing alone, then turned around and asked, "Ask whatever you want."

Luo Shixing hesitated for a moment: "You...are you abdicating voluntarily?"

Wu Zhao gave him a surprised look: "You are worried..."

Luo Shixing coughed lightly: "Although Your Majesty is as gentle as jade, the princes are quite outstanding."

Well, the Jinglong coup in history was controlled by Li Longji. Although he has been communicating with Li Longji over the years, he can be considered to know each other, but it is impossible for the other party to tell him such things casually.

And in fact, a not-so-big thing happened before—the Zhang brothers were ambushed and killed by Li Longji.

It's just that this time Li Longji didn't directly rush into the palace.

The trajectory of history is the same yet different, Luo Shixing couldn't figure out what the situation is now, so he asked directly.

After hearing this, Wu Zhao asked with a smile, "If not, how would you treat it?"

Luo Shixing thought about it seriously and said, "Then...that minister is going to have a talk with His Majesty."

But even if it's a negotiation, it's hard for Wu Zhao to reset, but he can fight for the treatment Wu Zhao deserves.

Wu Zhao stepped down from the throne, so she should no longer be treated with the etiquette of a queen mother.

Luo Shixing didn't know if Wu Zhao really retreated to the position of empress dowager in history, and was finally buried with Li Zhi with the queen's ceremony, but now he can ask.

Wu Zhao seemed to be amused by him, and sighed while laughing and said, "You are the only one who hasn't changed in these years."

Luo Shixing scratched his head: "You seem to be scolding me for not improving."

Wu Zhao smiled again: "That's fine, don't worry, there is no other external reason for me to give up the throne to the prince, it's just that I'm old."

As she grew older, Wu Zhao's energy became weaker and weaker. When she first chose the crown prince, those bloody storms had consumed too much of her energy.

As for the candidate for the crown prince, Wu Zhao couldn't say whether it was good or bad, but he also had a selfish motive.

She glanced at Luo Shixing. After all these years, the man in front of her still had the clarity in her eyes. Looking at him, Wu Zhao seemed to see the most beautiful thing in the world.

Can't bear to break, naturally can't bear to abandon it.

But Wu Zhao didn't say anything, she just asked suddenly: "Have you found your father?"

Luo Shixing didn't intend to hide anything, so he said openly, "Yes."

Wu Zhao closed his eyes and said, "Go and talk to Balang."

Luo Shixing knew that this counted as passing the list, so he got up and solemnly saluted Wu Zhao, "Thank you, the Supreme Emperor, for your kindness."

Wu Zhao waved his hand, looked at him and then at Cheng Jingwei and said suddenly, "Do you still remember when you came here to ask me for a marriage?"

Luo Shixing blushed after hearing this: "I was young and ignorant back then..."

But Wu Zhao said: "I have already prepared the will. When to salute, you decide for yourself."

Luo Shi's pedestrians are all stupid, what's going on?Wu Zhao gave them marriages after he abdicated?

Of course, it is not quite correct to say that it is a gift of marriage. After all, he and Cheng Jingwei have nothing to do with Wu Zhao from the beginning. .

Until he left the palace, Luo Shixing's face was still in a daze.

After returning home, King Luo Bin couldn't help asking nervously seeing him like this: "What's the matter?"

Is it because he was reprimanded by the emperor or the Supreme Emperor?

Cheng Jing glanced at Luo Shixing with a slight smile and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the Supreme Emperor gave us a decree."

Luo Shixing came back to his senses and looked at his father in a daze and said, "Your Majesty... Your Majesty has granted us a marriage and will attend our wedding."

King Luo Bin:? ? ? ?

He waited for a while before saying: "Then...then you want to..."

Although he could accept that Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were together, he couldn't imagine the scene of two men getting married, especially when both of them were in high positions and no one was dependent on the other.

At this time, Luo Shixing's spirit returned to his place, his eyes brightened and he said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose a day. Choose a good day that is the closest."

The Supreme Emperor has spoken, if you don't seize this opportunity quickly, you will regret it if you miss it.

In fact, Luo Shixing didn't care much about the secular marriage certificate, but if he didn't have it, he always felt that the name was unfair. After he married Cheng Jingwei, no one would come to match him.

As for the phenomenon of giving away to him and Cheng Jingwei, it will not be eradicated for a while, but those who refuse directly are fine, don't worry about offending people.

After all, if he dared to match him with Cheng Jingwei, usually the woman would be a good match with them, and it would be ugly to directly refuse, and always think of a devious reason.

No one seemed to believe that he and Cheng Jingwei could grow old together, so they should just keep their mouths shut.

Cheng Jingwei naturally obeyed him, even if Luo Shixing said he would get married that night, he didn't mind.

What a good omen or something, he and the little lynx have been through so many ups and downs for so many years, and he doesn't care much about them.

Luo Shixing immediately shook King Luo Bin's hand and said, "Daddy, Daddy, you and Mr. Li will help me do the math."

He is almost 30 years old, and he still has no sense of disobedience when he acts like a baby. Luo Binwang has no choice but to see him happy. He finally resisted the urge to sigh, because he didn't want to let the child down, so he turned to Li Youdao .

Looking at King Luo Bin's back, Luo Shixing blinked and turned to look at Cheng Jingwei: "Am I going too far?"

Cheng Jingwei patted his head and said, "No, Uncle still hopes that you will be happy."

King Luo Bin had been wandering all these years, and he thought his son was dead. Later, when Luo Shixing became famous all over the world, he thought it was just the same name, but even if he later found out that Luo Shixing was his youngest son, he was prepared to never see each other again for the rest of his life.

Now that they can still be reunited, King Luo Bin is already very grateful to God. His current unacceptability is purely a matter of concept, not aimed at Luo Shixing.

Luo Shixing was also worried that King Luo Bin would not be happy. No father would want to see his son as "unrepeatable", but it is impossible for him to find someone else in this life.

Except for this matter, King Luo Bin said that he would never go west.

Of course, King Luo Bin didn't have any demands on him, just like even if he thought it was inappropriate for his son to marry a man, he was just worried that he would be looked down upon.

As soon as Luo Shixing begged him, he went to find a better life.

In fact, there are quite a lot of auspicious days recently. After all, the day chosen by the emperor for enthronement must be surrounded by good days, so he decided to set it one month later.

It sounds like a rush and a lot to prepare, but in reality there isn't much to do.

Cheng Jingwei and Luo Shixing did not have a marriage in the traditional sense, so any steps such as welcoming relatives could be omitted. The two discussed it, and Luo Shixing formulated a link for exchanging tokens in combination with the weddings of later generations. It is worshiping heaven and earth.

Although he said that he didn't need so much etiquette, Cheng Jingwei went outside to hunt a wild goose and gave it to him, which made Luo Shixing quite dumbfounded.

Except that these are just invitations, Luo Shixing's original intention was to hold a wedding under the witness of relatives and friends, and he didn't really want to spread the word to the world, so when King Luo Bin took Li Youdao and others to write the invitations, he said: "It doesn't take too many people. , Just invite someone close to you."

After hearing this, King Luo Bin didn't feel wronged for him, because he knew that the Supreme Emperor and the emperor were coming, and there was no wedding with more face than this.

So he said directly: "You write down the names of the people, and I will copy them down."

Although there are different ways of writing invitations for different groups of people, in the final analysis, there are only three types: elders, peers and juniors.

Luo Shixing picked up the pen and began to write the name, but he didn't know if he didn't write it, and he was shocked when he wrote it.

Needless to say, Wu Zhao will definitely give it away, even if she knows, etiquette is indispensable, the emperor and queen also want to give it away, and the princes and princesses have a good relationship with Luo Shixing, the number of princes is a little less, there are six people in total, but the number of princesses is not Few, eleven, and there are quite a few of them who are already married, so naturally they came with their families.

Plus Princess Taiping's family, Wu Chengsi's family, and a rough calculation, the royal relatives accounted for less than 100 people. Besides them, Di Renjie's family would definitely invite them, and then there were Hei Chi Changzhi, Wang Xiaojie, the Luo family and Cheng Cheng. Naturally, the family cannot be left behind.

There are also relatives of several gentlemen, besides the British King Li Xian, he can't be left behind. Although the relationship is average, he can't be left behind after inviting the royal relatives and relatives all over the place.

Luo Shixing felt a little dazed after writing the whole thing. He always felt that he was out of the center, so why did he seem to be involved a lot?

When King Luo Bin saw that he had finished writing, he asked, "How? About how many people?"

Before, he heard from his son that he could just invite relatives and friends, and he thought that there would be 100 people in the sky, which is not a large scale.

In the end, he heard Luo Shixing whisper, "Probably... only five or six hundred people."

King Luo Bin looked at his son, with question marks slowly appearing on his head.

He felt that Luo Shixing's small scale was different from the small scale he thought.

Luo Shixing was also a little embarrassed, he didn't expect so many people, and this didn't count the Lingnan side, his real territory was in Nanyue Kingdom, if the ceremony was held in Nanyue Kingdom, it would be more grand.

Not many people sent out Luo Shixing's wedding invitation, but the whole of Luoyang knew that Nanyue King and An Guogong were going to get married, regardless of gender, only the status of the two people, it was really a match.

The gossip that King Luo Bin had been worrying about did not appear.

In fact, when the status reaches a certain level, even if there is, it will not be heard, and everyone in the upper class is more knowledgeable and interesting.

Basically, things against Luo Shixing will no longer appear. In the past, some people thought that he might take his position against him, but now... his status is already very high, okay?It's too late for everyone to curry favor!

Many people even regard this invitation as the recognition of the upper class. After all, this circle is either a relative of the emperor or an important minister in the court.

Those from the three provinces and six ministries who didn't receive the invitation were still a little unwilling. Even at the night banquet after Li Dan's enthronement ceremony, many people jokingly asked Luo Shixing if they could ask for a glass of wedding wine.

People who paid attention to his marriage even surpassed the enthronement ceremony itself.

Luo Shixing felt like he was going crazy, this was Li Dan's big day, it was the enthronement ceremony after all, can you take a look at the emperor?None of you are afraid that the emperor will wear small shoes for you, right?

Well, well, they might not be afraid. After all, compared to Wu Zhao, Li Dan is so gentle that no one is afraid to offend him.

He was so lively, of course Li Dan also knew that when he saw that Luo Shixing's smile gradually became false, based on his understanding of Luo Shixing, he estimated that this person's patience was about to run out, so he simply called people to his side and asked with a smile: "What are you talking about so lively there?"

Although Luo Shixing felt that those people had no interest in doing things, he didn't hide it in front of Li Dan, complaining: "They all want invitations from me, and they don't even look at what day it is today."

Li Dan waved his hand very generously and said, "It's okay, it's okay."

He really didn't care, he was already the emperor, and the enthronement ceremony was just a formality, so naturally he didn't mind this, so he asked, "Why invite so few people?"

Luo Shixing coughed lightly: "I just wanted to invite relatives and friends to witness it together, and I didn't want to make it too big."

Li Dan thought that he had scruples and said: "The marriage that A Niang and I both agree to, so what if it's a grander one? If you don't like it, just say it."

Now that Li Dan is rich all over the world, he is naturally no longer the emperor's heir who was short of money and poor in basic necessities, but he still remembers the things that Luo Shixing sent him back then. It was the first time he ate seafood, even now he I have eaten casually, but I still think the original taste is the best.

So when he misunderstood that Luo Shixing was short of money, he had already started thinking about how to give it.

After hearing this, Luo Shixing quickly waved his hands: "No, no, it's just that...it's too grand and I can't do it, my father...well, there is no elder in my family who understands this. It’s even more ignorant, if it’s too small, we can still support it, but if it’s too grand, we can’t do it.”

Everyone knows the existence of King Luo Bin, but everyone tacitly does not mention it.

Li Dan said casually: "What happened to your father? Oh, your father is still white, well, give him a background."

This was given to Kaifu Yitong Sansi who was from the first rank. This was also a helpless thing. Luo Shixing's rank was already very high, so of course he couldn't give less to his father, but he couldn't reward him.

Luo Shixing didn't care about these things, he got up and saluted very pleasantly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En."

Li Dan gave Luo Binwang a legitimate identity, allowing him to appear in front of the public instead of hiding like before.

In fact, Luo Shixing had already planned to use the wedding ceremony to make King Luo Bin appear. He worshiped the heavens and the earth and worshiped his parents. How could he do it if his father didn't show up?

But Li Dan is still very surprised that he is willing to give a background. Li Dan teased him with a smile: "So happy? Then it will be my wedding gift to you. Then I will go to eat with a mouth."

Luo Shixing frowned and said, "I'll let them cook whatever you like!"

Li Dan laughed twice and finally said: "Please feel free to ask me, I will tell A Niang later."

What are you talking about? Of course, I arranged for someone to help.

He said so, and Luo Shixing could only agree. The only request now is not to neglect these high-ranking officials and nobles. Everyone feels that he can't afford to offend, and he also thinks that these people can't afford to offend, okay?

But what he didn't expect was that Wu Zhao actually sent people over to help. The people they sent were all the old people in the palace, and they were all in charge of the banquet. They were handy with these things. Tell them what you want, and you don't have to worry about the rest.

Luo Shixing, who originally thought that he would be busy before the wedding, unexpectedly found that there was nothing to do by himself.

On the day of the wedding, almost all the dignitaries in the capital came, and his majestic palace almost couldn't let them go. Fortunately, Cheng Jingwei's Duke's Mansion was next to it, and some people with not particularly high status were invited there.

Everything is in order.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei did not have a wedding ceremony, they walked out of their respective mansions when the auspicious time came, and went to the palace to hold the ceremony together.

These days, wedding dresses are made of men and women, so the wedding dresses of the two of them are naturally red, and they are also red embroidered with gold patterns, which look extravagant.

As the so-called people are refreshed on happy occasions, Luo Shixing's beauty score has increased by several points, and even Li Gu'er, who is known as the number one beauty, is abruptly inferior to him.

After the two of them approached the auditorium side by side holding concentric knots in their hands, they naturally followed the ancient worship world.

At this time, King Luo Bin looked very cramped sitting on the high hall. As the only elder of the two families, he naturally had to accept the newcomer's visit.

But there were the empress dowager, the emperor, the queen, and the prince and princess onlookers. He had never seen this battle before, and his nervous palms were sweating.

He was relieved when the ceremony was finally over.

But then he found that the more nervous thing was yet to come, and he had to help greet the guests who came.

When he was writing the invitation card back then, he knew that there were no guests below the fourth grade in the palace, and he didn't know what the gathering of so many high officials represented when he went outside.

He also didn't expect that his most glorious moment would probably be at his son's wedding, and these people didn't make things difficult for him.

Maybe it was because he was Luo Shixing's father, or maybe it was because Luo Binwang's character was worthy of admiration, everyone was smiling when they saw him.

King Luo Bin gradually relaxed.

Luo Shixing and Cheng Jingwei were also toasting table by table. The two of them specially chose low-alcohol turbid wine today, but they were still quite drunk when they returned to the room.

Cheng Jingwei helped Luo Shixing take off his clothes. During the process of undressing, he was dishonest. He wrapped his arms around Cheng Jingwei's neck and said, "We're married."

Cheng Jing responded with a slight smile: "Yes."

Luo Shixing stretched out his hand to pinch his chin and said with a smile, "Come on, call your husband to listen."

Cheng Jingwei stared at him, his eyes were dark, he lowered his head and bit Luo Shixing's hand, and only when the other party withdrew his hand back, said slowly, "Husband."

Luo Shixing knew him better, and almost instantly became alert: "Why are you so talkative today?"

Cheng Jing smiled happily: "We are all married, what's wrong with that?"

Thinking of today's day, Luo Shixing deeply regretted that he was too rough just now, coughed lightly and said: "I have been busy for many days, and it is finally over, let's rest early."

Cheng Jingwei leaned over and kissed him on the lips and said: "That's not okay, wedding night in the bridal chamber, what should be done is still to be done."

As he spoke, he put his palm on Luo Shixing's waist.

At this moment, Luo Shixing realized that he was about to be stripped naked by the other party. He couldn't help but soften his waist. He looked at Cheng Jingwei nervously with a blushing heart and said nervously, "Tomorrow... I have to get up early tomorrow."

Cheng Jingwei was amused by him and said: "What do you do when you get up early? You don't need to ask your parents-in-law."

Luo Shixing pushed him, and said softly, "Then you can't... um..."

Cheng Jingwei didn't intend to talk nonsense with him any more, a moment in Chunxiao is worth a thousand gold and cannot be wasted.

After a while, the clothes were scattered on the ground, the bed curtain shook slightly, and there were whimpers from inside from time to time.

When Luo Shixing woke up the next day, he felt like a useless cat.

He stared blankly at the roof, thinking about whether to cancel the wedding after he returned.

Money is not a problem, he is afraid that his waist will not be able to withstand the second torture!
