Zhao Bing received the money, but did not make any promises to Zheng Huchen, nor did he say anything praise, nor did he give him any reward. Zheng Huchen sent the money to the location he designated without saying a word, and it seemed as if it was right between the king and the minister. However, according to Wang De's return to contact him, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. Not only did he not feel reluctant, but he was a little happy.

Because the money was too abrupt, Zhao Bing did not send the money directly into the inner warehouse, but asked Wang De to arrange some of the accumulated spices and treasures in the warehouse to be sold outside the palace first. This kind of practice was not uncommon throughout the dynasties. In the past, the palace would receive tributes sent from various places every year, including a large amount of incense, silk, silk and silk, as well as various utensils made by the palace. Whenever the warehouses in the palace were too much, or the emperor would take them out for sale when they were short of money.

Of course, there is never a shortage of buyers in the palace, and people will rush to buy something that is used in their homes as a kind of glory. Moreover, the things in the palace are all contributed by various places, and the quality is also made by craftsmen in the palace. After all, no matter how brave you are, you dare not fool the emperor, so these things are not only fast to buy, but also have a very expensive price.

When the grocery shop in the palace opened, it immediately attracted buyers to grab it. However, some court officials frowned when they saw it. They all knew that the young emperor had made some money over the years, but they often came quickly, either for state affairs or for military expenses. Looking at the things sold, some of them were copied from the Pu Mansion back then, and the incense medicines had been stored for ten years. If the quality issues were not considered, we can also know how simple the young emperor's life was, otherwise these things could be left to this day.

Seeing this situation, everyone understood that the young emperor was raising funds for the upcoming wedding, and knew that this time in his pocket was a vacuum, otherwise he would not have sold all his family. But they could only sigh. They all knew that the young emperor set a limit for each place to avoid the suffering of offerings in the people, and the standards were very low, which was more like a meaning. The so-called filial piety of officials has always never accepted it. If it is sent, it will be scolded, and even let the Censorate find out the origin of the money and goods.

Seeing that the emperor had to sell his property to raise money when he married his wife, the ministers were helpless and sympathetic. Although Zhao Bing seemed to have lost face, he used this method to whitewash the funds of the Affairs Bureau and gained reputation for himself. He only made money inside and outside. He also sent a signal to the outside that I was not greedy or possessed as the emperor. If someone dared to go against the will of heaven, then think about the consequences by himself...

In late September, the Empress Dowager's ritual of salvation finally ended, and Zhao Bing was able to return to the palace. However, the autumn examination had ended at this time, and there was no progress in the peace talks. The two sides talked and stopped, and it took more than a month. Recently, Boyan also returned to Dadu to discuss matters, leaving only Liu Mengyan to continue the peace talks in Yangzhou, which basically came to a pause.

Everything has been done, so the emperor's marriage became the main task of the court at this stage. The reason for this is that not all the emperors can catch up with such decent things. They often get married before they ascend to the throne, and only need to perform the ceremony of enthroning the queen, not to hold the wedding again. Not to mention that because the emperor can be a groom every night, there is only one wife of the emperor, and other concubines cannot enjoy this treatment.

Therefore, it is difficult for the emperor to hold another wedding, unless the queen dies or is deposed. Moreover, the emperor's wedding is extremely expensive and cannot be done just by wanting it. He has to touch how much money he has in his pocket in advance and whether he is allowed to make a fight again. This is also the reason why the emperor's wedding is rare, so that the etiquette of the wedding, royal family members and court officials are rare, and maybe he will encounter it this time in his life.

At present, the Song Dynasty, at least from Ningzong, Lizong, and Duzong. If Emperor Jingyan, who died of illness after being a minor, had already married his wife before ascending the throne, or died because he was still a minor, he had not had a big marriage so far. Now the court officials have been involved in such a major event that has not been encountered in a century and must be cautious. Therefore, not only did they establish a preparatory team with the left and right prime ministers as the head, the Minister of Rites as the chief ministers, and the Minister of Rites as members, but also combined some famous scholars and wise men to participate.

As the party involved, Zhao Bing never went again after participating in two preparatory meetings. He found that it was not only himself who didn't understand. These people didn't understand each other, but they didn't understand them either. They also "feel the stones across the river" according to the provisions of the classics and the etiquette used in the previous examples. However, the Song Dynasty court experienced two disasters, and the royal archives and related classics were all lost. It was simply out of order. They could only collect relevant classics while conducting a complete theoretical evidence to find out what they wanted.

In fact, how to hold a wedding, whether it is an emperor or a commoner, he must abide by the "Six Rites" agreed in the Book of Rites, namely, Naga, Nazhi, Nazheng, and Hehou. The difference is that the royal wedding ceremony is more solemn and particular, but it has increased and decreased in all dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, Emperor Huizong was particularly concerned about etiquette and law, and personally presided over the revisions, simplified and refined the wedding procedures. After Sima Guang was dismissed, he also studied etiquette and law, and also compiled it into a book to stipulate the etiquette used by different groups of people.

However, the thoughts are different when there are too many people. These scholars are all knowledgeable and have different opinions on etiquette and law. At this time, everyone wants to take their own opinions as the main point, but it is difficult to form a unity in the end. Even if you use band accompaniment, it has become a long-term problem. Some people say that there is no need for fun at weddings as described in ancient rituals, while others say that Emperor Huizong wants to use joy. Zhao Bing couldn't hear it. The wedding was originally a happy thing, and it was lively for blowjobs. If you quietly enter the bridal chamber, what is the difference between marriage and rats?

However, Zhao Bing is also self-aware. If the ink in his stomach is not enough to be embarrassing, he should hide away so that they will not splash his ink, and do something he can do. Of course, first of all, we must determine the candidates for the concubines. According to regulations, the "one concubines in the second year" will enter the palace on the same day of the wedding. He must first confirm the list and put them home to wait for marriage. At the same time, he must enfeoff his parents and reward them in the capital. These things cannot be delayed.

Zhao Bing had no time to conduct multiple inspections at this time, so he made Wu Xi the queen according to the wishes of the empress dowager and the ministers. He originally wanted to make Li Sanniang the imperial concubine, but they thought that although they had a marriage contract with him, the imperial concubine was second only to the queen, which was too high for a slang person. In fact, he knew that the ministers were worried that they would be unhappy one day and deposed the queen, so wouldn’t it be a slang girl who took over?

So Zhao Bing thought about repeatedly and wanted to be named Chen Shu as the Imperial Concubine and Li Sanniang as the Concubine. Everyone felt that he had compromised and gave in. They didn't say anything more, even if they decided. Below is Concubine De Zhang Ping and Concubine Xian Lei Yan. Concubine Wang Yu as Concubine Chen for her long legs. Cheng Su was defeated and could only stay in the palace as an ordinary palace servant. I was afraid that he would cry and faint in the toilet after hearing this, but he had no chance.

As Zhao Bing knew, the names of concubines in the Song Dynasty were actually not accurate, and they were quite complicated. Generally speaking, the names of women who first entered the palace were: Shiyu and Hongxiafeng. Further, they were granted the title of the king and the wife. Moreover, the number of people and counties of the county was not certain. After the wife, they would go on to be talented, beautiful, Jieyu, and then they would go on to be Zhaoyi, Zhaorong, Xiuyuan, Xiuyi, Xiurong, Chongyuan, Wanrong, Wanyi, Shunrong, Guiyi, etc. Then they would go on to be concubines: Guifei, Xianfei, Defei, Shufei, and Chenfei.

Therefore, the most prominent feature of the Song Dynasty harem is that it has no positioning. It starts from the primary level, increases with the popularity and continues to advance, just like playing games and fighting monsters. Zhao Bing's selection of concubines this time is also an exception. They only hit a few little monsters and then drove the pass in one step. But what they should actually thank the Queen Mother, the big boss, who let the water go all the way to hold his grandson earlier. If Zhao Bing guards the pass, even if he can't compare to Tang Monk's pursuit of scriptures, they would have to learn from Guan Yu to pass five passes and kill six generals.

The wedding team was busy for a long time and finally got the outline outline and submitted it to Zhao Bing for review. He only saw a rough look and found a major omission. He picked up the pen and wrote four words - it was inconsistent with the etiquette, so he returned the memorial as it was. The group of people were immediately confused. This was because they had spent countless efforts and wrote countless classics to come up with them, and the four words of the emperor were sent.

However, the emperor's imperial criticism had to be ignored. Xu Zongren summoned everyone to discuss it word by word, but he did not find any "inappropriateness" points, but after the delivery, he was rejected. He could not repeat it again and again. After the retrial, there was no mistake. He could only submit it and ask His Majesty to make it clear that Zhao Bing added a word after the post - Guan.

After reading the imperial criticism, everyone immediately smiled bitterly. If this matter was spread, it would be a shame. How dare you call it a famous scholar? It turns out that according to the Book of Rites: King System, "Crown, Marriage, Mourning, Sacrifice, Village, Meeting" is the "six rituals". The "Crown" among them is the coming-of-age ceremony. If you get married before you reach adulthood or if you don't hold an adult ceremony, that is "inappropriate".

Such a big omission occurred, and everyone was naturally upset and ignored such a big thing. But after thinking about it, we can't blame it all! I think that the little emperor opened the government to preside over the military and political affairs of Qiongzhou at the age of five, and said that I was ordered to supervise the country at the age of eight. At first, he felt that he was still young, but he never was vague in handling military and political affairs and led the journey through the most difficult period. What he did was what a child should have, and gradually he adapted, and did not dare to underestimate him anymore. He regarded him as an adult from his heart, but ignored His Majesty's age. He was not a reminder and forgot that he had not yet performed the ceremony.

In addition, although the ritual books in the Song Dynasty continued to practice the crown rituals, except for Zhenzong, Huizong and Lizong, the crown rituals for the princes, the crown rituals were still not valued in reality, and the crown rituals did not form a customization. As a result, Cai Xiang of the Yingzong period discussed: The crown rituals are the most important of the rituals, and the crown rituals are not discussed now. Zeng Gong also pointed out that in ancient times, people who valued the crown rituals were not neglected. Now the crown rituals were abolished, and the characters were not at the time. The ancient rituals were not practiced very much. Su Che said: Now the crown rituals are the beginning of nourishing people and returning to the right things, and now they are all abolished and not established.

The crown ceremony in the royal family of the Song Dynasty has been neglected to this point, and the situation of the folk crown ceremony is even more conceivable. But this is an important link that cannot be bypassed. Speaking of which, the crown ceremony means that a young man has reached a certain age, has matured sex, can marry, and as an adult of the clan, he will participate in various activities. Simply put, holding the crown ceremony is to remind the one who performs the crown ceremony:

From then on, they will transform from a responsibilities-free child in the family into an adult who has officially entered society. Only by practicing filial piety, brotherhood, loyalty and obedience can they become qualified sons, qualified younger brothers, qualified ministers, and qualified juniors, and various qualified social roles. Only in this way can they be called human beings, and they are qualified to govern others, and they can inherit and carry forward the Chinese etiquette civilization. In modern terms, in other words, the etiquette is the foundation and foundation project of Chinese etiquette in the hearts of Chinese members, and Confucianism also positioned the etiquette at the beginning of etiquette.

The prince also only has the right to go out to the outside world after receiving the ceremony. He has established a government office and has the qualification to go out to follow the government. Of course, the form is greater than the reality. Going out to the outside world is a restrictive management of the prince; establishing the subordinates and leaving the outside world is an embodiment of the prince's right to participate in politics and make decisions. However, although the subordinates of the founding government have assigned officials to the prince, the educational and training functions of the official subordinates are greater than the political assistance functions. The outside world focuses on serving the court, rather than participating in politics and making decisions in the true sense.

However, a weirdo like Zhao Bing was born at the age of five. He opened a government office and went out to serve as a vassal; he succeeded to the throne at the age of eight. Now, in order to help Dai Guan, he has led the army to regain half of the south of the Yangtze River, so the royal system and the previous old examples cannot be applied. In addition, it is the issue of Dai Guan's age, which has a different point:

Some court officials quoted Cheng Yi's argument and said that he once said: "The reason why the crown is responsible for a person is not a time to be blamed for twelve years." He also believed that since the crown is crowned, he must be responsible for the work of becoming a man, otherwise it will become a false ceremony. If the crowned ceremony cannot be blamed for the work of becoming a man after the crowned ceremony, he will not expect him to become a man in the end. Therefore, "Even the emperor and the princes must be twenty." Such a young emperor cannot perform the ceremony.
