Zhao Yu felt that he had become more and more empty since the crossing, of course, not physically empty, but hypocritical, and in the past ten years, he had to run the train with all kinds of people in order to survive. Although he succeeded in stabilizing the situation and successfully reached the top of his life, he was unhappy, perhaps because he was a straight man in engineering, he liked one to one, two to two, and could argue with people for the nuances of not knowing how many decimal places.

But now Zhao Hao must constantly compromise, which makes him very aggrieved. And today's pointless whitewashing, naked cover-up, disgusted him even more, and the initiator is still his chief wife. He knew that Wu Xi should have a minimum understanding of the current situation, and he even wanted to cancel the big wedding because of lack of money, and he didn't know how to advise the Queen Mother, but instead wantonly engaged in such a vain thing, wouldn't it make him indignant.

In addition, what makes Zhao Yu even more annoyed is that he has always flaunted a simple life, but he has been 'consumed' again and again, and he has spent a lot of money on weddings and family worship. Now that the Lantern Festival is being held on a large scale, the little 'good name' that he has accumulated over the past ten years can be said to be gone, and what qualifications do he have to ask others after that. What made him even more angry was that the big wedding and the family ceremony cost the country's money and his own money, and he could explain it, but the lantern festival was basically passed on to the people.

And this rule still originated from his ancestors and ancestors, because they all loved to watch lanterns, and the courtiers were naturally willing to whitewash the emperor with a scene of the people living and working in peace and contentment, and the rise and fall of the country, so the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was upgraded to a national behavior. From the beginning of the lantern making, the emperor was in charge, and the court was responsible, and the officials in the court also took the lantern making as a major event to grasp, making all kinds of lanterns, and ordering the lanterns to be made in various places for the needs of the imperial court. In order to ensure the attractiveness of the lantern to the emperor, the lantern competition is new every year, and the year is different.

This has led to more and more sophisticated lamp-making technology, and more and more flower samples of lamps. There are more and more lamps, especially with Su and Fu as the crown, Xin'an is late and exquisite. The imperial court put up the lamps in each hall, and stacked the lamps into a mountain shape as Ao Mountain, and the lamps are very many, each with the Su lamp as the most, the diameter of the headlamp is three or four feet, all of them are made of five-color glaze, the glaze here refers to the gems and the like, the characters on the lamp are very wonderful, the landscape, the characters, the flowers and bamboos, the feathers are all kinds of wonderful, just like the coloring, like the painting.

Fuzhou lamp is made of pure white jade, bright and white, dazzling to the eye, such as a clear ice jade pot, refreshing to the mind. Shin An Jin is a boneless lamp, and its skeleton is made of colored glass. The palace is made of a glazed gemstone lamp mountain, which is five zhang high, and there are various characters on it, which are controlled by organs and can be moved. In addition, also knot a big color building, in the hall of the color building, the beams, between the windows for the gushing wall, draw or make the character story, among which there are dragons and phoenixes spraying water, meandering like life, at the same time set up a jade fence, dazzling, people can hardly face it.

The cost of a good lamp is naturally not low, and the manufacturing process is complicated. The boneless lamp should be stored with silk for the fetus, and after the millet is removed, it will be mixed with glass; The lamp is carved with rhinoceros tortoiseshell to decorate it; The bead lamp uses five-colored beads as a net, drooping tassels, or the story of the dragon boat, the phoenix, and the tower; Sheepskin lamp, such as the method of shadow play; Luo Silk Lantern is the most strange with ten thousand eyes; There are also shadow lights, and the horses and horses spin like flying; There is also a kind of silk lantern, on which poems are written to hide hidden words as lantern riddles.

This kind of large-scale conscription has become a great burden for the people. And most of the tasks assigned by the government fall on small households, who have to borrow money to buy raw materials in order to complete the task, and they work in vain. And in the end, when the government buys the finished product, it will buy lamps at a reduced price, which is equivalent to taking time and money, but just to win the pleasure of the powerful, so they don't scold you and scold anyone, why should they help you when you are in trouble? Who would be loyal to a government that only knows how to blackmail and oppress itself?

I thought that I had been idle for nearly a year and had just taken over the job. Facing the central government, which is about to collapse and disintegrate, the central government is about to collapse and disintegrate, and the world's number one enemy with an immortal heart. These are enough to make him upset and annoyed, but the wives don't add glory to themselves, but instead block themselves and find a diaphragm, so he was furious when he heard it, and his first thought was to go back to the palace and light those lanterns and put the queen in the cold palace.

However, Zhao Hao, who was angry, still retained a trace of reason in his mind, knowing that the houses in this era were all wooden frames, and he would look for them if he was on fire, and the tourists who admired the lights on the street were weaving, and if he didn't make a good fire, he would burn Lin'an City again and cause serious riots, so he thought about bringing the troops back to the palace to guard the scene, so as not to cause turmoil. On the other hand, the elected queen can be said to be the result of his compromise with the scholars, once he uses the family law, it may cause a mass incident, and at present, the scholars from all over the country who participate in the ministry examination gather in the capital, and it will be a big event, but he has also made up his mind that he will not compromise this time, and whoever participates will be arrested......

"Damn it, it's broken!" Zhao Yu left the martial arts, and in front of him was a group of cavalry as a guard, he rode in the middle surrounded by the generals, followed by thousands of officers and soldiers of the first brigade and a regiment in front of the emperor, they were all fully armed, loaded bullets, bayonets opened, and they looked murderous. But when the team walked out of the old palace gate and stepped on the royal street, he couldn't help but take a breath and curse secretly.

Although it is only dusk at this time, but the royal street is already crowded, shoulder to shoulder, the lanterns everywhere have been lit, looking from afar, the north palace is already brilliant lights, bright as day, the surrounding lantern shed canopy, color platform forest, obviously this scene beyond his expectations, can't help but remind him of the scene of the Spring Festival station in the previous life, a bad one will cause a riot. This is obviously not suitable for his plan to destroy the lamp and set the fire, Zhao Yu is worried that his nest will be set on fire along with the fire.

"Pay attention to vigilance, the guard battalion strengthens the guard, the first battalion opens the passage forward, the second battalion is divided into two columns to guard along the border, and the third battalion is broken to prevent the people from tailgating, which alarms the holy driver." As soon as Ni Liang saw the situation in front of him, he immediately ordered to adjust the formation, shorten the queue line, and expand the warning range, so that he could quickly pass through the congested area and return to the palace as soon as possible.

"Wait, forward and backward!" Zhao Yu interrupted Ni Liang's order, "Put away the bayonet, turn off the insurance, and prevent accidental injury to the people; All dismount and lead the horses; Lead slowly, don't force the drive, prevent stampede! ”

"Yes!" Ni Liang frowned, but he still asked people to convey His Majesty's imperial decree, and he jumped off the horse first, threw the reins to his relatives, and grabbed the little emperor's horse before helping him dismount. And Chen Dun also jumped off the horse first, took the reins and led the horse and then left. Seeing this, the others had no reason not to dismount, and each of them firmly held on to the reins to appease the war horse and prevent it from being frightened.

After receiving the order, the various divisions, under the command of their respective officers, quickly adjusted their formations, reduced the six-way column to two teams, and each sent a guard to block the crowd on both flanks, and opened a 'laneway' for the troops to pass. But the sudden appearance of a large army and its insertion into the crowd caused a commotion, but the team was able to move slowly.

"It's hilarious!" Zhao Yu walked slowly under the crowd of people, his eyes scanned the surroundings, but he saw that the shops on both sides of the royal street were lit up, and the people on the color platforms set up on both sides performed songs and dances, miscellaneous plays, and hundreds of operas, which were very lively.

And in order to maintain this illusory prosperity, the government is also painstaking, it can really be said that there is a sentence at the top, and a broken leg at the bottom. For the safety of the property and lives of the people who admired the lanterns, the officials of Lin'an Mansion really tried their best. First of all, fire prevention, in this era there are no fire trucks and high-pressure water guns, can only rely on ladders, fire forks, hook guns, buckets to extinguish fires, so next to each lamp shed, there are a ladder, a huge barrel, a number of soldiers, the bucket is full of water, in order to extinguish the fire.

Secondly, in order to prevent children from getting lost, all major alleys have set up "small shadow theater sheds" in the community for children to watch. Although there were no cartoons at this time, the simple and interesting animations projected on the set by the actors with the help of lights, gestures, paper figures and shadow puppets really attracted children to watch, so that they would not run around and be abducted by the bad guys.

Thirdly, it is to adopt the method of killing chickens and setting an example to the monkeys, setting up a bullet curtain in Lin'an, a prosperous place, and listing the sinners before the sinners are full, as long as the thieves who steal people's money and the hooligans who molest women are found in the crowd, they are immediately pulled to the front of the lantern shed to show the public, or beat the board, or sentenced to imprisonment, so that those villains who are ready to move know the severity of the punishment and the consequences of doing evil, so as to stop the precipice and dare not do evil again. In addition, Shangyuan Jiao is also set up as a prison cleaning dojo, displaying torture tools, and pretending to be a prisoner The story is also a sign of vigilance and intimidation.

"Alas, the times are different, but the interests are similar!" Zhao Hao soon discovered an interesting phenomenon, and it was the same in ancient and modern times, there was no shortage of young men wandering in groups on the streets, but their eyes were not on the colorful lights, but on the young women, obviously watching the lights was just an excuse.

In Zhao Hao's view, these women on the street are indeed the most dazzling scenery, they should be carefully dressed, wearing pearls and moths on their heads, jade plums, snow willows and other ornaments, some are dressed in sable sleeves, with neckkerchiefs, carrying Bodhi leaf-shaped lanterns, with pins and gold, most of them are wearing popular white clothes, because the white clothes are more vivid under the moon, they enjoy watching the lanterns, watching the dance, without scruples.

What surprised him even more was that in this era, although there was no electronic device to make his head glow, the skilled craftsmen were still able to fulfill their wishes. Craftsmen can make lanterns the size of dates and chestnuts, and then decorate them with pearls and jadeite, which are crystal clear and dazzling, and stick them in the hair to become the most dazzling ornament. When it comes to the Lantern Festival, women all over the city wear such lanterns on the streets, and they shine on the top of their heads.

Ladies wear lamps on their heads, but so do men. There are two kinds of lanterns on their heads, one is a lotus-shaped or peony-shaped lamp bowl, and the other is a "fire bayberry" strung with iron branches. The fire bayberry is to grind the dried jujube flour and pound the charcoal into crumbs, mix the jujube powder and charcoal crumbs together, pour oil wax, form a round ball, string them one by one on the iron tree, light it, and put it on the top of the head.

"What's going on up ahead?" Suddenly there was a commotion ahead, and the team stopped advancing, Zhao Hao asked.

"Your Majesty, someone in front of you accidentally knocked over the lamp bowl on his head and set his hair on fire. However, they blamed the soldiers who opened the way in front of them, saying that it was the fright that caused the road to be unstable, which caused the lamp bowl to overturn, and led a group of family members to make trouble, so they stopped the drive. "There were already guards in front of me to inquire, and when I heard His Majesty's inquiry, I immediately pleaded to him.

"Oh, what a gut! Even if I don't know if I'm in it, the marching brigade can be stopped, I'll take a look! Zhao Hao had already seen someone hugging in the crowd, looking at his posture, he was either rich or expensive, and he was often followed by a group of soldiers or male servants, these followers were not only responsible for the safety of the master, but also to help the master shake his majesty, so he put the lantern on his head, and followed the master to the street to show that the rest of the people were different, and the momentum looked greater than his own travel.

However, because of the congenital insufficiency of the design of the lamp bowl, and the fact that men in this era do not shave their hair, they hold their hair in a high bun like women, and then a lotus peony lamp bowl or a "fire bayberry" with a burning tree is fixed on the bun, so they can only walk cautiously and step by step. If you take a big step and turn the lantern on your head upside down, it is a big deal, as long as a little open flame falls on your hair, it will definitely be too late to put out the fire, and the worries on your head will be cleared.

"Your Majesty, let's go and take a look!" Lu Xiufu has been following behind the little emperor, knowing that he has anger in his heart, and there is nowhere to send out the fire, listening to his tone is not good, if he does something against the holy ceremony, wouldn't it be bad, so he stepped forward to stop him.

"A little thing, why do you need to be on the land, I just look at the momentum of its battle, so bold that I dare to intercept the marching brigade!" Zhao Yu said with a cold face, and then stepped forward with a horsewhip.

"You old men, you dare to frighten my son-in-law, and you have burned your hair again, how will you meet people in the future?" As soon as Zhao Yu squeezed to the front, he saw a young man with his hair in a messy bun and wet all over, obviously the victim, thinking that he was drenched in water in order to extinguish the fire. At this moment, Tie Qing was sitting on a chair to block the road, and a man who looked like a family member was grabbing the collar of a personal soldier and scolding. What surprised him was that the original word 'Chi Lao' had existed in this era, but this word is also scolding in modern times, and it must not be a good word at this time.

"Oh, what's going on? Don't speak ill of others. Zhao Yu didn't get angry, but knocked the handle of the horsewhip on the hand of the family and asked with a smile.

"You're blind, you can't see that my son-in-law is injured!" Zhao Hao used his strength very skillfully, and the family only felt a numb wrist, and couldn't help but let go, but still scolded.

"Presumptuous!" Ni Liang's goods had already followed, and when he dared to scold him, he reached out and grabbed the collar of the family's neck......
