Chapter 12 Changle Weiyang never sleeps in the city
After the parade, the whole city of Beijing was plunged into a joyous atmosphere.
Although Beijing is the place where the Ming army is most concentrated.
But there are still many people who have not seen the war weapons of the Ming Dynasty up close.
This time, more than 10,000 troops participated in the parade, and although they were paraded on Chang'an Avenue, they had to cross the entire city of Beijing.
Hundreds of people watched along the streets.
After the parade, it was the beginning of countless joys.
Zhu Qizhen even opened half of the palace city. Of course, the Forbidden City cannot be entered by the people, but the West Garden, west of Sanhaizi, can.
So, under Zhu Qizhen's example.
The big families of Beijing have opened their own gardens, and for a time the whole city of Beijing was in jubilation, especially the people who entered the palace city from the west gate of the palace, and there was an endless stream. A sea of people.
You know, such an opportunity may not be once in a lifetime.
Later, the imperial palace faded from its political overtones and remained a must-visit place for most Chinese to go to Beijing. Today's Miyagi is one of the places that all people want to go.
Most of the people helped the old and the young, and entered the palace just to touch the emperor's nobility.
The Chinese army of the Ming Dynasty, almost all of them were dispatched, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, along the east side of the palace city along the three seas, including the Forbidden City, Nanyuan, Long Live Mountain and other places.
The people were not allowed to enter.
Such jubilation only reaches its climax at night.
After dark, countless lights came on. In the whole city of Beijing, every household is colorful, and on the street, there are headlights built by large families.
On Chang'an Street, there is also the longevity lamp mountain created by Shaofu as a master craftsman. Countless lights are lit together, and from a distance, it looks like a mountain is glowing.
Then there were fireworks rising into the sky, and the nine gates were set off together, and the entire city of Beijing was shrouded in gunsmoke and fireworks.
And in the regimental city, Zhu Qizhen also drank with his ministers.
Tuancheng is on an island. At this moment, with the Chengguang Hall of the League City as the center, there are countless feasts, the lights are bright and green, the delicious delicacies are listed.
Many vegetables were transported to Tianjin by sea from Shaofu, and they came by galloping.
The area of the regimental city itself is not large, and in the Chengguang Palace, it cannot accommodate so many ministers, so in the Chengguang Palace, they are all important ministers of the state, that is, the group on the upper floor of the Chengtian City, and the periphery are ordinary ministers.
If they are really petty officials, they can only set up tents on the shore of the North Sea and allow them to eat.
Although there are stoves in it. But at the beginning of the lunar month, eating in this environment is not a very good experience. But for many seven-rank petty officials, this is a very rare experience.
It's as if Liu Chang entrusts the help of several of his classmates and joins this feast. They can only listen from afar
The singing and dancing here are not really heard at all.
But this is also a very memorable thing for Liu Chang.
Not only Liu Chang, but the thirty years of orthodoxy This longevity banquet is a deep memory for many people.
Emperor Taizu did not admire luxury, Emperor Taizong loved to fight, and Emperor Renzong's time in Beijing was too short, and he did not leave too much of his mark in the city of Beijing.
Emperor Xuanzong was a loved one compared to several emperors.
But what he likes is not feasts, but crickets, calligraphy and paintings.
Since Zhu Qizhen ascended the throne, the Empress Dowager was in power in the early stage, and the Empress Dowager stopped all urgent matters.
What a night party has never been.
After Zhu Qizhen became in power, he was busy with various things, and although his life could not be said to be self-suffering, he had never done such a thing.
You must know that this longevity banquet will cost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver.
It's enough for Zhu Qizhen to fight.
This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Qizhen is reluctant to hold it, but sometimes national celebrations are also part of national politics. This one.
It is not so much to celebrate the 40th birthday of Zhu Qizhen, but to celebrate the Ming Dynasty's northern annexation of Mobei, the west and the Western Regions, the south of Jiaozhi, and the east of North Korea. Far from the Han and Tang Dynasties, it caught up with the prosperity of the martial arts of the former Yuan.
However, the real jubilant atmosphere in the Chengguang Hall was after Zhu Qizhen avoided the seat.
When Zhu Qizhen was there, all parties behaved like a ritual, singing and drinking, all according to the beat of the ceremonial official. Although it is solemn, it loses the fun of the night banquet.
Zhu Qizhen also understands this truth.
There are leaders who don't have fun.
After Zhu Qizhen avoided the table, he heard a loud voice inside.
However, every era has its own style, and even if the Ming Dynasty has such a night banquet, it will not be as debauched as the feast of bliss in the Calyx Xianghui Building in the Tang Dynasty.
Don't say that the emperor went down to dance.
So even if Zhu Qizhen came out, it was just to persuade each other to drink more, maybe a few people drank and wrote a few famous poems that were not available in later generations.
After Zhu Qizhen came out, with a wave of his hand, Huai En put on a back cloak for Zhu Qizhen, and stepped back far away.
The reason why the regimental city is called the regimental city is that there is a place where the castle is built.
So, Zhu Qizhen patted the female wall step by step on the top of the city, looked up at the sky, the stars reflected each other, and looked at it from a distance, but saw a series of fire trees and silver flowers rising to the sky, under this piece of fire trees and silver flowers, but it was full of lights in the city, which seemed to be going to last through the night.
Zhu Qizhen felt for a while that it seemed that the heaven and the earth had turned upside down, the lights on the ground were the stars in the sky, and the fireworks around it were clusters of meteors. No, it's not just meteors, it's clearly meteor showers.
Zhu Qizhen was a little greedy for such prosperity for a moment.
Yes.
The Ming Dynasty is now
No matter how lively it is, it can't compare to the night scene of a city in later generations, and this night scene, Zhu Qizhen will only have one time with hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. In many large cities in later generations, it was a daily occurrence.
But for every ray of light, every beam of fireworks, there is emotion.
This is a scene that he has only had in the past 30 years.
Without him, countless nights can be pasted all over the wall, facing the cold moonlight and candlelight, pacing slowly, to think about the connection of these problems, the solutions that have been solved.
It's not that he makes a statement of the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, and goes every day to see where there is room to continue digging.
Without him, he walked on thin ice and drastically reformed the military, selected generals one by one, and each one settled in his own place.
Without all of this, there would be no place today.
I can't imagine the first year of Chenghua in history. That is, the current thirty years of orthodoxy.
When Zhu Qizhen died in history, he left all kinds of border troubles to his sons, the Jurchens of Liaodong, Monan, Hetao, and even the Tartars of Qinghai.
The Great Tengxia in the south is all barbaric.
There are also pirates at sea.
But now what Zhu Qizhen has in his hands is a prosperous scene.
The beauty made Zhu Qizhen a little worried. The clouds are easy to disperse, the glass is fragile, and the beauty of the world never lasts.
Now Zhu Qizhen has to admit that although his body has not felt too much, he has passed the best years of his life.
There are still traces of the previous road.
After all, although Zhu Qizhen has done a lot, in essence, it has not surpassed what many Ming Jun in history have done. Now, if the coffin is closed, Zhu Qizhen does not think that his evaluation can be higher than that of Emperor Qin and Han Wu, Tang Zong and Song Zu, and Taizong of this dynasty.
After that, he wanted to do something.
If you succeed, you are the first emperor of the ages, and you can definitely surpass these few ranks. If it fails, it is estimated that it will really be compared with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
After all, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty evaluated in ancient times that he was a mistake in the death of Qin and avoided the disaster of Qin.
Daming is very energetic, even if he fails, it is estimated that it will not be possible to lose the country, but what will become of it, I don't know.
"Your Majesty." Zhu Qizhen suddenly saw a person coming over slowly.
Zhu Qi looked at it calmly, but it was Hu Hu. He hurriedly stepped forward, hugged Hu Hu and said, "Sir, why did you come out?" ”
Hu Hu said: "I'm old, how can I be crazy with those boys." ”
Hu Hui's words are full of confidence, in fact, in the feast, there are very few young people, and the youngest is not less than forty years old, but more at the age of fifty or sixty.
This is the age structure of the Ming power layer.
But for Hu Hu, who is ninety-one this year, there is absolutely no problem in calling them a brat. Who made this old gentleman the senior of all of them, and also a human Rui.
