68 days long festival
Seeing that Shizi couldn't take his eyes off it, Ming Ji was secretly proud in his heart, shook his long hair, bent his waist and leaned back, and suddenly seemed to have an unstable footing, so he fell into his arms.
In the past, Rong Yuqi did eat this, but now, he just endured the disgust in his heart and sent her out.
Mingji slipped out and threw herself on the ground, looking up at him in disbelief and pity.
Rong Yuqi frowned and endured: "It's a cold day, don't you take good care of Xiao Ning in the house, what are you doing?" ”
"Lord Shizi!" Ming Ji called out and got up from the ground, "In the snowy day, you are here alone to blow the wind and cold, the concubine knows that you are bitter, and she just wants to relieve your boredom with you......"
Rong Yuqi snorted softly in his nose, and was about to go down when there was a sound of clanging footsteps outside the water pavilion.
He winked, and Mingji hurriedly stood behind him with a smile and served.
"Shizi! The prince sent the old slave to pass the word. A burly eunuch over half a hundred years old appeared with his head down, followed by Jin Dou and Yin Dou.
Rong Yuqi took off the blanket and stood up, looking respectful: "Listen to my father's teachings." ”
The eunuch straightened his waist and said in a straight voice: "Your Majesty has a decree, after the Tianchang Festival, the banquet will be given to the Qinggong Arena, and the prince will ask the prince to be cautious and fast, prepare early, and don't make mistakes." ”
Rong Yuqi listened and looked at the sky: "In a few days, it will be the first Tianchang Festival of the Yongshao Dynasty (Emperor Dayin's birthday), and the Qinggong arena has been built?" …… They have only been in the city for more than 20 days, how can it be! ”
"The slave doesn't know."
Rong Yuqi glared at the old eunuch, and couldn't take him: "Go back and tell your father." Just say I know. ”
The eunuch retreated, and Ming Ji saw him staring at the lake for a long time and was silent, and couldn't hold back his sneezing.
Rong Yuqi didn't reply: "Don't retreat yet!" Didn't you hear that this son was going to fast? ”
***
The day before the Tianchang Festival of Emperor Yongshao, the imperial court issued an edict. During the holy birthday period, slaughter is forbidden for three days, and all the states of the world are allowed to feast and take vacations, ignoring the punishment.
On the same day, civil and military officials need to enter the palace to congratulate according to the system.
At the end of the day, the middle door of King Lu's mansion was wide open.
The servants quickly and orderly removed the high threshold, and the prince's guard of honor escorted the canopy incense carts out one after another.
The territory of the Great Yin Dynasty is unprecedentedly vast, and among the princes of the clan, except for the newly crowned queen Xiao Xia, the king of Liang. There are still the seventh brother of Emperor Yongshao, King Zhong, the eleventh brother King Zheng, the thirteenth brother King Xiang, and the eighteenth brother King Lu, until now, only King Lu is left in the side branch.
this day. King Lu was edicted to bring the princess and the princess and the princess into the palace to show his closeness.
Rong Yuqi, as the prince of the world, hit a horse and walked on the side of King Lu's car.
All the way. But I saw that both sides of the market were covered with vertical color painting obstacles. The banner of the restaurant and the commercial port is displayed, and the incense case is set up at the gate of the official's house, and there are dependents who bow down to the ground and worship in the direction of the palace city, "Long live the saint!" Longevity without borders! Not long ago, the tension and depression in Kyoto were like a dream, and there was no trace of it, and it was gorgeous and colorful everywhere, and there was a picture of singing and dancing.
On the day the city was broken, although the Western Expeditionary Army only fired half a night's cannons. However, it is inevitable that the walls will collapse and the houses will collapse, and you can imagine the ruins of the broken walls outside the leveling. Thinking of the King of Yuyang and others who were imprisoned, Rong Yuqi sighed in his heart, it was really half a prosperous city and half a city, which made it difficult for people to adapt.
Rong Yubang, the second prince of King Tongling, and his two younger sisters are still stranded in Kyoto, and they all entered the palace with King Lu's family today.
Rong Yubang immediately came up and walked side by side with Rong Yuqi, sighing: "Although it is said that he is entering the palace to congratulate, his brother's heart is very unsteady, if the Son of Heaven is angry and complains about Tongling, he also hopes that Brother Qi will save him." ”
"Tongling was loyal to the King of Wei?"
Rong Yubang hurriedly shook his head.
"Isn't that over, where is Brother Bang afraid?"
Rong Yubang was at a loss.
Rong Yuqi thought of Ling makeup again, and a thought came to his mind, "I don't know if I will see her today...... I couldn't feel at ease anymore, and I was irritable, so I whipped the horse with a "snap", and I had to run to the front of the honor guard.
After crossing the Jinshui Jade Belt Bridge, everyone got off the car and dismounted, and the civil and military officials marched towards the Qianyuan Palace, and the relatives of the clan had the intention to worship the queen in Kunhe Palace.
According to the practice of previous years, hundreds of officials will present congratulatory gifts in the Qianyuan Palace, and then give a banquet to the Changchun Palace, and then enjoy a rare seven-day rest for officials in Beijing, which is simply more than the New Year's vacation.
Today is different from previous years, after Emperor Yongshao hurriedly worshiped in the main hall, he did not accept the congratulatory gifts from the ministers, and Liu Yi, the eunuch of the master of ceremonies, announced the banquet of the Qinggong arena.
Although many people know that they want to go to the arena, but this day is freezing, so they are not afraid of the dragon body getting cold? What's more, when the Son of Heaven and Tianchangjie Palace were approaching, not only did the crown prince not show up, but even the new generals under the prince's command did not rank up, which was really inconsistent.
Many ministers looked around, and saw that several princes and respected elders were silent, not daring to say more, and the ministers were guided by the eunuchs to walk to the Qinggong arena.
The Qinggong Grand Arena is newly built in the east of the Zichen Palace where the prince lives, and half of the arena is embedded in the famous Zhongshan Mountain.
It's not that the ministers haven't seen the world, they also know that the East Palace in the past, the Zichen Palace now, is in the process of large-scale expansion, but it is really shocking to build such an empty and expanded arena in more than half a month.
There are more than a dozen levels of stands on the periphery of the arena, there are three high platforms at the height of the Purple Mountain, the huge mud gold nine dragons are placed in the middle of the throne, the finch fan is golden, the copper crane incense burner is burning with pines and cypresses, the goose characters on both sides display the phoenix chairs, all of them are surrounded by a huge stove in the style of the turtle, the Danbi is white, looking from afar, the clouds are steaming and the clouds are steaming, but it is like accidentally breaking into the queen mother's Yaochi meeting.
In front of the main stage, there is a large piece of red cabbage, and dozens of half-person high copper stoves are placed on the edge of the inner field, which is burning smokeless white charcoal, and a row of Shangshan eunuchs in uniform skillfully rotate the roasted whole sheep, suckling pig, birds, robes, roe deer, etc., the meat fragrance is pervasive, and it makes people feel appetizing.
The left and right sides of the high platform echo each other, the yellow umbrella curtain is flying, Rong Yuqi raised his head to identify the guard of honor, and knew that there were several concubines and eldest princesses to appear on the left, and the golden rooster tent was set up on the right.
Seeing the ministers coming, there was an eight-foot man who came up and hugged his fists and greeted King Lu, King Qizhong, King Zheng of the eleventh master, King Xiang of the thirteenth master, King Lu of the eighteenth lord and the king of Yichun County, the king of Linfen County of the fifteenth master, the king of Ningde County of the seventeenth lord and the six departments of the old pavilion Jiuqing.
This person Rong Yuqi has already seen the day he went out of the city to ask for surrender, it is the famous hussar general Lu Nengkui's son Lu Mengen, after Lu Nengkui's death, he became the actual head of the West Court and Hanhai Duhu and the generalissimo of the Western Expeditionary Army, and now he has replaced Zeng Wang to become the Grand Protector of the Southern Protector of Lingnan Province, the first class of the Yasukuni Duke of Jinjue, hereditary replacement, and the No. 1 upstart in front of the Palace of God and the East Palace.
The kings and Zhongshu Shangshu did not dare to slack off, and returned the salute one after another, Rong Yuqi coldly saw that when he got up, all the generals of all ethnic groups stood up and saluted, knowing that the military power was quite heavy, even if he had always treated people lightly, he did not dare to underestimate this person in his heart.
