    "Father! I have brought all the brides back!" Wang Yuze looked at Wang Xiao and said with a happy face.  Whether it was his previous life or this life, this was his first marriage, and he was marrying three beautiful girls like flowers. How could this not make him excited?  Although there is no relationship between him and several brides.  But feelings can be cultivated slowly. Isn¡¯t there a saying that love grows over time?  After getting along for a long time, feelings will naturally arise.  Moreover, Wang Yuze also believed that he would be able to win the heart of the beautiful woman.

    "Haha, okay, okay! Yuze! You have finally grown up!" Wang Xiao said happily.

    Afterwards, the wedding continued.  Although the dress and penetration of this wedding were different, Wang Yuze wore a military uniform and the three brides wore white wedding dresses.  But the wedding ceremony is indeed a completely traditional ceremony.

    Wang Xiao, dressed in red auspicious clothes, was sitting directly above the living room of the patrolling envoy's residence, preparing to be greeted by the newlyweds.  Although Xiong Wu and his wife, Yang Hua and his wife, and Zhou Rongxuan and his wife were also elders, they consciously stood on both sides of Wang Xiao.  They didn't dare to trust him, and they were not qualified to sit side by side with Wang Xiao.  You know, this is still an era when imperial power is supreme.  Wang Xiao was like a local emperor in the three provinces of western Sichuan. Even if they became in-laws with him, Xiong Wu and the others did not dare to be presumptuous in the slightest.

    However, even so, Xiong Wu and his wife, Yang Hua and Zhou Rongxuan were all full of joy. Their daughter was getting married, and the girl was the young marshal who was patrolling the diplomatic corps, which made them very proud.  In western Sichuan, this can be regarded as equivalent to relatives of the emperor!

    The master of ceremonies at the wedding was an old scholar with gray hair and beard, and his face was flushed at the moment.  What an honor it is to be able to preside over the young marshal's wedding!  After Wang Xiao occupied western Sichuan, he asked the people to shave their heads and no longer allowed to have braids.  This order was first implemented very well in the army. In comparison, no one would want to have a pig's tail dragging behind their head during a war.  Secondly, ordinary people also ended up quickly, because the braids on the back of the head not only affect production activities, but also trap dirt and affect hygiene and health.  Those scholars, on the other hand, reacted very fiercely to this.  In particular, some old scholars even shouted the slogan that they would rather die than keep their pigtails.  They have completely forgotten the bloody policy of "leave your head but not your hair, leave your hair but not your head" when the Manchus entered the country.

    But now, Wang Xiao has occupied Western Sichuan for thirty years, and most scholars have begun to integrate into Western Sichuan.  After all, as the old saying goes, if you learn martial arts, you will sell it to the emperor's family!  After Wang Xiao occupied western Sichuan, scholars in the three provinces of western Sichuan were no longer able to participate in the Qing court's scientific examinations.  If they want to serve as officials, they have to integrate into western Sichuan.  Therefore, it is most fundamental to follow Sichuan West's requirements.  Later, Wang Xiao began to promote new learning in the three provinces of western Sichuan and abolished the eight-legged essay, but it did not cause any major reaction.  Nowadays, in the three provinces of western Sichuan, except for some pedantic old scholars who are nearly seventy years old, there are no more people with pig tails behind their heads.

    The master of ceremonies said a lot of blessings, completely praising Wang Yuze as unparalleled in heaven and on earth.  The fact that the three brides were able to marry Wang Yuze this time was entirely a blessing from their previous lives.  Wang Yuze's already thick-skinned face couldn't help but turn red after hearing these words.  But when he saw Wang Xiao nodding with a smile on his face, he couldn't help but secretly said: "Even if a father loves his son, he can't be praised like this!"

    The wedding continued. After the master of ceremonies said his blessings, all the guests in the hall applauded loudly, and the loudness became better.  Many people also praised Wang Yuze one after another, praising Wang Yuze like a flower.  Everyone knows that this is a good opportunity to flatter Wang Xiao.

    Next, the most important ceremony of the wedding, the chapel ceremony, begins.  Just as the master of ceremonies was about to shout loudly to start the worship service, a shriller voice came from outside the hall, just like the voice of a drake.

    "The imperial edict has arrived!"

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????:  The guests all took the initiative to retreat to both sides, and Wang Yuze and the three brides also stopped paying their respects.  Wang Xiao also got up from the chair, walked in front of Wang Yuze and the others, and looked at the three eunuchs coldly.

    The leader was an old eunuch wearing a bright red eunuch uniform with a top on his head.  Behind him were two younger eunuchs.

    Seeing the eunuch actually appearing, the guests all started talking.  Everyone knows that the relationship between Western Sichuan and the imperial court is not that close.  Although there was no big fight, everyone knew that the imperial court wanted to destroy Western Sichuan.  However, the current troops and horses in western Sichuan are strong, and their weapons are sophisticated, which is far beyond what the Qing army can compare with.  Therefore, before being fully prepared, the Qing court did not want to fall out with Western Sichuan, lest it cause further turmoil.  If another hair-growing disaster happens,If so, then the Qing Dynasty is really coming to an end.

    Wang Xiao was also a little puzzled, wondering what tricks the Qing court would pull off.  You know, Wang Yuze did not report this marriage to the Qing court, and he was not even invited by the consulates of various powers in Chengdu.  The purpose is that this wedding can go on smoothly without any trouble.

    "Wang Xiao, the envoy patrolling western Sichuan, and Wang Yuze, Wang Xiao's son, received the order!" the old eunuch shouted loudly.

    However, Wang Xiao and his son still stood there, motionless.  There was no intention of kneeling down to accept the order.

    Seeing this, a young eunuch behind the old eunuch couldn't help but get angry and wanted to scold him.  But he was looked at by the old eunuch.  Suddenly, he swallowed his words again and retreated behind the old eunuch timidly.

    "Damn little bastard, you almost caused trouble for our family. I'll deal with you when I get back. This is the King of Western Sichuan! The King of Western Sichuan who kills without blinking an eye! If we piss him off, we won't be able to return to the capital!" The old eunuch said  Thought secretly.  Coming to western Sichuan to declare the decree this time was originally a hard job.  In their view, western Sichuan is simply a hell!  And King Sichuan is the devil who kills without blinking an eye.  However, the emperor's order has been issued, how could he dare to disobey it?  I had to bite the bullet and come.

    "By God's blessing, the emperor's edict said! Wang Xiao, the patrol envoy in western Sichuan, has guarded the southwest for many years. He has worked hard and made great achievements. He is specially rewarded with ten thousand years of gold to show his favor. Wang Yuze, Wang Xiao's son, is hereby named Wang Yuze as the General of Zhennan, and his wife Xiong.  The Yang family and the Zhou family are of the third rank. I do this!" the old eunuch read loudly, as if he didn't notice the rudeness of Wang Xiao and his son at all.

    Some of the other guests couldn't help but want to kneel down to listen to the order.  But seeing Wang Xiao and his son standing motionless, they had no choice but to stand still in a learned manner.  To be honest, after thirty years of consolidation by Wang Xiao, Western Sichuan really had nothing to fear from the imperial court.  If they kneel down at this time, wouldn't it show that they are loyal to the court?  Then why will they continue to hang out in western Sichuan from now on?

    "Marshal Wang, Marshal Wang, congratulations. This is a personal thought from our family. Please don't dislike it, Marshal and Young Marshal!" the old eunuch said with an apologetic smile on his face.

    "Well! Yuze, why don't you thank your father-in-law quickly!" Wang Xiao nodded.

    "Yuze thanked my father-in-law!" Wang Yuze endured the unhappiness in his heart and bowed his hand to the old eunuch.  He was also very disgusted with eunuchs, people who were not healthy either physically or mentally.  After all, the dark decline of many dynasties in history is inseparable from the chaos of these eunuchs.

    Wang Xiao casually handed over the imperial edict and the old eunuch's congratulatory gift to Wang Quan, and then said: "Thank you for coming all the way to announce the edict. Please take a seat and have a cup of dog's wedding wine!"

    "You're welcome, Commander. Our family has to rush back to the capital to restore the Holy Order, so I won't bother you any more!" The old eunuch postponed it for whatever reason he had to stay here longer.

    "Well! Father-in-law, are you looking down on Wang and not giving me face?" Wang Xiao said coldly.

    "Ah! Don't you dare! Since the commander-in-chief has good intentions, our family will bother the commander-in-chief!" The old eunuch quickly changed his words, with a look of panic on his face.  Even when facing the emperor, he had never been so nervous!
