Chapter 820 Wedding (two in one 6ooo words)

The officialdom in the capital has been ups and downs for many years, and after having more knowledge, he will not do things very absolutely. Although the emperor's marriage has already shown a lot, there will be no consequences for everyone not to come, but he always has to arrange for someone to come here to watch.

If you don’t come to your own house, you have to see if others come or others don’t come to see what Wang Tong’s wedding looks like. You must have first-hand information.

Wang Tong's style of doing things was all the wealthy people in the capital, and they all understood, for fear that he would send an ignorant person to take the opportunity to do it. They arranged for their smart and transparent servants to come and stare at him.

Many of these people have seen the world, and with their masters, they can't see many heroes in the capital and have memorized the heroic curriculum. Zhang Cheng, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, is a top-notch figure in the capital. This must be remembered.

Seeing this old man appear at the street entrance, there was already a commotion among the people staring at the door. And under such circumstances, Zhang Cheng, the number one trusted person around Emperor Wanli, did not appear here, and many people shouted out in disbelief.

Then everyone saw that the powerful and powerful Eunuch Zhang Cheng was actually following a carriage, and many cavalry and infantry entourage could be seen around.

What kind of person can let the eunuch in charge of the Sili Superintendent walk to the eunuch, but he is sitting in the car. There are only two people in the world who can do this. At this time, there is probably only one.

"The Emperor is here"

Everyone thought of this joint. When everyone looked at it, there were big carts and carriages behind the emperor's carriage, which were covered with red cloth. Everyone understood even more that this was the emperor who came to congratulate Wang Tong.

"Does go, dodge, don't disturb the car."

While speaking, someone was riding a horse and shouting loudly to drive away the emperor. Although the palace city is very close to Wang Tong's mansion, this ceremonial guard can be said to be a light chariot, but there are still some styles that should be there.

The people staring at each other scattered and headed to the place where they tied their horses outside the street. They wanted to go back soon and inform their masters that the emperor was coming to attend Wang Tong's wedding.

It's still one hour before the wedding is held, why did the emperor come so early

When many people ran to the street, they could hear someone shouting loudly:

"Long lively congratulate Wang Tong~~~~~~~~~"

It's really inconsistent with etiquette and rules, and it's extremely awkward, but who can still care about it?

Two intersections away from the street where Wang Tong’s mansion is located, there is a large teahouse. This teahouse was booked out today and has been closed since the morning.

Inside was Xiangcheng Bo Chen Jinsheng's family, who was drinking tea leisurely inside, as if waiting for something. Soon, they heard footsteps outside, and ran in. When they entered the door, they hurriedly spoke:

"Master, Master, the emperor went to the Wang family to congratulate him."

Xiangcheng Bo Chen Jinsheng reached out and patted the table, and said with gratitude: "I've been betting right this time."

Chen Sibao, who was sitting aside, immediately spoke and said:

"Prepare all the gifts and other things, come over with the congratulatory robe, serve the marquis, put them on, hurry up, don't delay, Xiao Si, go and tell the Tang family and let them get there."

In Wenyuan Pavilion, Fu Shen Shixing asked calmly:

"Mr. Wang, the Ministry of Revenue has investigated the matter of Tianmu in Songjiang. As ministers, we should know how to share worries for the emperor and not let the emperor urge him again and again without a reply."

Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, looked around and replied muffled:

"Master Shen Ge, the Ministry of Revenue has been checking, but it takes time to go to Songjiang Prefecture, Jiangnan to review it."

"When Zhang Juzheng cleared his lunar land in the world, the result was in half a month. Why did the Ministry of Revenue today take so long? Could it be that there is any hidden truth?"

Wang Lin threw the notebook in his hand directly on the table and said coldly:

"Gei Master Shen, Your Majesty wants to investigate. The one who investigated the Xu family in Songjiang is not targeting our Ministry of Revenue. Speaking of the Xu family in Songjiang, why didn't Zhang Juzheng go to investigate back then? Wang remembered that the old master seemed to be in the cabinet at that time, so why didn't he insist?"

The atmosphere in the cabinet was tense. The six ministers of the six ministries were all the same party except Zhang Xueyan. In the cabinet, Shen Shi's behavior was also unconfronted. This time, Emperor Wanli had been investigating the case of the Xu family in Songjiang embezzlement of land. The Ministry of Revenue was responsible. Shen Shixing used this to attack, but Wang Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, refused to give in.

While they were talking, a little eunuch greeted him softly outside the door. A cabinet secretary hurried over, and both sides whispered a few words, but the verbal verbal in the room stopped. Knowing that such a situation was usually sent by a message from the palace or outside the palace, and without reporting it, it means that it was not a business. The cabinet secretary who had passed was a person arranged by Shen Shixing here.

Sure enough, after finishing the other side, the cabinet secretary hurried to Shen Shixing and whispered a few words. When he arrived at the position of the cabinet assistant, he was really happy and angry.

Everyone did not see anything from Shen Shixing's expression change. However, after the cabinet secretary said that, Shen Shixing stood up and spoke:

"Everyone, Shen has something to do, so I'll pay it first today."

All the people stood up and saw him off. As soon as Shen Shixing walked out of Wenyuan Pavilion, another eunuch came to greet the Secretary of the Cabinet. The news from outside gradually came in.

"Wuqing Hou arrived"

"Shuntian Prefecture Governor Huang Sen arrived"

The Zhike outside the door yelled and his voice was a little hoarse, but this was not because he shouted too much, but because he was too excited. He had been in charge of the happy event for so many years and probably had never seen so many nobles. What made him even more excited was that he had just shouted "Long live the emperor." In theory, no one outside the palace should have called that.

"Didn't I arrange for you to help the officials of the Ministry of Rites? However, such private marriage regulations look more lively."

Emperor Wanli was naturally sitting in the hall, Wang Tong stood aside in a bright red auspicious outfit. When he heard Emperor Wanli say this, he smiled and said:

"The wives and concubines who have not passed by my family are all civilians. If it is too complicated, it is easy to make jokes."

"Haha, marriage is your business, just be happy with your wives and concubines. Don't worry too much about this etiquette."

Emperor Wanli nodded with a smile and said, while he was talking, someone else shouted outside:

"I Huang Sen bowed to Your Majesty, long live my emperor"

"Okay, OK, this is Wang Tong's marriage. Don't let me become the protagonist. Find a place to sit down first."

He said that he was kind, Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, naturally took the order to retreat, but he also understood the expressions of Emperor Wanli and Wang Tong above. The two sides talked with smiles and were quite close. They could not see the rumors that were sensational in the capital these days. When the ministers got married, even if it was a Duke's family, the royal family would send a eunuch to congratulate him, give him some symbolic gifts, and read a congratulatory message. What kind of virtue is Wang Tong? Why is it that Emperor Wanli came here in person?

And didn’t the emperor give Wang Tong a marriage to Fengchen woman? All the decrees that made Wang Tong look embarrassed were given, and the emperor came in person. If the emperor presided over the marriage between Wang Tong and this Fengchen woman, it would not be Wang Tong’s embarrassment, but that the royal decency would be gone. What does this mean?

I can't understand anything else, but the emperor and Wang Tong's jokes seemed to be friends, and everyone saw it. Huang Sen, the prefect of Shuntian, could see it, and other people who came to congratulate him could see it.

Since Emperor Wanli came to Wang Tong's mansion, within half an hour, anyone who could arrive as soon as possible arrived. The follow-up people were still coming slowly to Wang Tong's mansion. Since the emperor was here, they must come to see the ceremony first. Everyone who came to pay tribute to the courtesy saw the harmonious scene between Wanli and Wang Tong's ministers.

"I am Shen Shixing to see Your Majesty"

"Geor Shen doesn't have to be too polite. Come and talk. Look at Wang Tong's outfit is funny or not. I saw that he was wearing armor and flying fish clothes for too many times. This time he was wearing civil servant clothes, it was really awkward."

The groom's auspicious clothes were transformed in comparison with the civil servant's dress, so Emperor Wanli said this. Shen Shixing smiled and said:

"Your Majesty is joking. Lord Wang is handsome and wearing this auspicious dress is also a handsome man. Lord Wang, as the saying goes, you have made a fortune. Today, you have started a family and have your Majesty congratulate you. This is a few joys. Congratulations, congratulations."

Wang Tong hurriedly thanked him. Even in front of Emperor Wanli, there was a seat. When Shen Shixing sat down, Shen Li, Yang Wei and other ministers finished their greetings, Emperor Wanli asked:

"Wang Tong, I want you to go to Jiangnan to investigate a case. Do you want to go?"

Wang Tong was stunned, but then knelt down and said:

"I will definitely obey your Majesty's will."

Wang Tong knelt down, his expression was calm, but a trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He was just in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei, and everything was not stable yet. He was going to drive himself out of the capital. Has his suspicion for himself reached this point? First, he used the gift of marriage to humiliate and beat him, and then he could not take root in the Jinyiwei. What did he do wrong?

Seeing Wang Tong kneeling down quickly, Emperor Wanli looked a little complicated. He looked at Shen Shixing beside him. Shen Shixing's expression had not changed much. Instead, he looked around like the normal people attending wedding banquets, and greeted the high-ranking officials and nobles who came in with a smile. No one was a fool. If he listened carefully on this occasion, it would bring disaster to himself. Emperor Wanli looked back at Zhang Cheng, and Zhang Cheng had similar expressions.

Emperor Wanli's eyes turned to Wang Tong again. Wang Tong did not hesitate when accepting this order. Now he has just sat in the position of the commander of the Jinyiwei Commander, and everything is still unstable. Some time ago, there were commanders and tutors inside the Jinyiwei yamen against him, not to mention that many people have spoken or submitted memorials recently, saying that Wang Tong is illegal. Although he is nominally the chief officer of the Jinyiwei, he has not grasped this stolen.

At this moment, sending him to Jiangnan would mean that he could not completely control the Jinyiwei. This principle is very simple. Emperor Wanli also understood that Wang Tong would not be confused, but Wang Tong agreed so simply.

Emperor Wanli closed his eyes slightly and sighed in his heart. As the emperor and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we must pay attention to balance of power and strategy, and we must not have a situation where ministers value the king and ruler are inferior. Empress Dowager Li told him, Feng Bao told him, Zhang Juzheng also told him, and he himself knew these words.

But seeing Wang Tong like this, did he do something wrong? Wang Tong is so loyal and made such achievements for himself. Doing this himself is not a balance and power struggle, but a disgrace to the minds of his ministers.

"Get up, today is your happy day, don't be so restrictive"

Emperor Wanli said, Wang Tong agreed to stand up, Emperor Wanli also stood up from his seat, patted Wang Tong on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice:

"I've thought too much."

Having said this, he stopped continuing. The king and his ministers sat opposite each other, which was a little boring, but Shen Shixing understood what was the purpose of Emperor Wanli staring at the Xu family in Songjiang for this time.

At this moment, Ma Sanbiao, wearing the ceremonial uniform, came over, first saluted Emperor Wanli, and then stood up and said to Wang Tong:

"Sir, the auspicious time is coming soon, this one"

Although he was asking Wang Tong, everyone around him could hear the voice. Ma Sanbiao was very detailed. He said this at this time to Emperor Wanli and Shen Shixing. Don’t delay Wang Tong’s marriage.

How could Emperor Wanli not understand? He paused, but said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, your auspicious time is coming. I have also brought a red envelope and gift, but it doesn't make sense to take it out at this time. It's better to miss my decree to give you a marriage."

Wang Tong's face finally did not maintain, and Ma Sanbiao's eyes even glared, but Wang Tong reacted quickly and spoke to Ma Sanbiao:

"Three Biao, Your Majesty ordered you, why don't you go and get it quickly?"

Ma Sanbiao wanted to say something, but was stared back by Wang Tong's stern eyes. After Ma Sanbiao became Wang Tong's housekeeper, his temperament was no longer as impulsive as before. After hesitating, he still bowed and said:

"Your Majesty is waiting for a moment"

After Emperor Wanli came, the officials and nobles in the capital came to show their attitude no matter what they thought. After they came, it didn't matter to Wang Tong, but they must let Emperor Wanli see it and prove that his pace was consistent with the emperor. Therefore, so recently so many officials have mostly taken seats in front of Emperor Wanli.

The crowding is getting more and more crowded. Later, the only one who can achieve this position is the third rank, the Count or above, and those who do not have this status, when submitting the gift list, Zhike will shout, there is no seat. As for the fourth rank, Wang Tong has not even posted a post.

Emperor Wanli said this just now, and many people below heard it. Many people were immediately excited. Could it be that this was a slap in the face by the emperor, and he had to take action in person? Seeing that you, Wang Tong, have you known about the crime of Changkuang today? Some people even wondered how to divide Wang Tong's slap in the stake and how much he could get.

Ma Sanbiao hurriedly brought the decree. Who did the emperor issue an order? The decree was to be offered in the main hall to show respect. Ma Sanbiao held it over with both hands.

Emperor Wanli sat there and looked around, and said with a smile:

"Wang Tong, the auspicious time has come. Take your three wives out together. Follow my will, even if you have a marriage certificate."

Wang Tong looked neither happy nor sad, but just calmly took the order and ordered someone to take Song Chanchan, Han Xia, Zhang Hongying and others out. Emperor Wanli raised his hand and shouted to everyone not far away:

"Dear friends, don't be that far away, get closer, get closer."

The marquis, counts, cabinet ministers and ministers outside stood up and came forward. Yang Sichen stood down but whispered to Sha Dongning and others:

"If there is anything wrong with Han Gang, you must hold him and drag him back and tie him up first. This occasion is not the place where he is tempered, do you understand?"

Several of the personal soldiers nodded. The guests had a good atmosphere and smiled on their faces. On the contrary, Wang Tong's relatives and friends looked wrong. The decree was brought up there, but Emperor Wanli casually reached out and took it over. On the other side, the maid led him, and three brides with phoenix crowns and red veils were also taken out.
