Among the officials who watched the ceremony at the Shenwu Gate, many of them were local to Luoyang, and the Shangyuan celebration began with a horse dance, followed by court music and dance, and everyone was amazed, but the scene of men and women inviting each other to dance together made many people frown.

The Song and Xia dynasties all inherited the Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, and the cause of the decline of the previous dynasty, Ouyang Wenzhonggong, Sima Wenzhenggong and many other sages regarded Huhua as a major ill of the old Tang Dynasty, so the most important etiquette in this dynasty, especially taboo Hu customs and customs. For example, this dance of singing, although inherited from the Spring and Autumn Festival rites, but also mixed with Hu customs, but there is a taboo of "men and women do not kiss", it has been criticized by the Kwantung gentry, and even used to confirm that the Xia country rites are broken, and the Hu has been deep, and it is not worthy of calling itself Zhengshuo. But at the celebration of Shangyuan, Chen Chong arranged a grand singing and dancing, not only that, but also invited the local eunuchs and clans in Luoyang to participate. Compared with the young men who were eager to try, on the gatehouse of Shenwu Gate, the expressions of Luoyang officials were serious, some were ashamed, and some had disgust on their faces.

"Prostitution and theft," Xuezheng Pei Hong gradually lowered his voice, "Sang Jian Pushang, the voice of the country." ”

"It's always a good thing for young people to know how to fight," Luoyang Ling Yuan Xingzong smiled, "Don't you still count on them for the future of this country?" ”

Pei Hong's face gradually froze, and he did not say anything to refute. Since Yuan Xingzong took charge of Luoyang, he has established prestige among the gentry. The court is bent on changing customs, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and his wife have personally set an example, and it is one thing for him to complain in private, but if he openly opposes it, it will be too uninteresting. Cao Xi next to him listened to the conversation between the two, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Luoyang returned to summer, and he was still the biggest winner. After a few moments, the smile on his face faded and was replaced by a look of surprise and solemnity.

All kinds of lanterns illuminate the front of the Shenwu Gate as bright as day, hundreds of musicians play music in unison, in the noisy sky of silk and bamboo, there are constantly people who invite girls to enter the song and dance together, except for the first hundreds, the dancing men and women have reached thousands of people. In the melodious and musical, the scabbard collides with the jade ring, making a pleasant jingling sound, which is another style. As far as Cao Xi knows, most of these thousands of people have not been rehearsed beforehand. Because Luoyang did not have this custom of men and women singing and dancing together, most of the men who danced in the venue, if not sergeants, were guests from Guanzhong. They all have the unique habits of Guanzhong. Although it was denounced by Mr. Daoxue as the dance of "Sangjian Pushang", thousands of people danced with their own steps, and there was no confusion at all, as if they had been rehearsed for a long time.

Cao Xi remembered that the training of new soldiers in the Xijing camp took more than half a day to implement even the simplest or so, and then compared with the people in Guanzhong, he couldn't help but secretly sigh that the Xia State was founded by soldiers, and the strict rules and rules in the army had already infiltrated every part of the people's daily life. On the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military force, and did not suppress workers and merchants, even in the military camp, there was a smell of civil officials and merchants everywhere. "Even if Yelu Dashi swept the Central Plains, occupied Luoyang, and captured the emperor, he still sent envoys to seek to divide the Song realm equally with the Xia State, and even forbade the Liao army to provoke Guanxi, this is the reason." Cao Xi sighed secretly. No one knew that it was this attitude of the Liao State that played a key role in his determination to betray his brother and abandon the Song Dynasty to join the Xia, even if it was just to play the banner of the Xia State, Luoyang was also a little more stable.

Li Sihai waited for the end of the song, and then stepped forward to invite Lin Jingwan to dance together. Her eyelashes were drooping and she didn't seem to care, but her bulging breasts rose and fell slightly, revealing her emotions. After seeing this pair appear, Chen Chong took Zhang Caiwei's hand, stepped on the beat and retreated to Shenwumen, giving them the center of the dance hall. People sensed that the prince and his wife intended to leave, and they consciously flashed to both sides to make way out, and after a little chaos, the prince and his wife were already standing under the Shenwu Gate. The people rushed forward with you pushing and shoving, even tearing their clothes, but fortunately there were Tiger Wing Army guards to maintain order. The crown prince was able to smile and hold Lin Jingwan's hand, and nodded to the gentry and people who came forward. Naturally, the crowd cheered, and some even burst into tears.

"Long live my emperor!"

"Hooray, hooray, hooray!"

"His Highness is as dedicated as His Majesty, and the people support him," Lin Jingwan said in a low voice, "not like someone." Her slender waist felt slightly tight. It's not a good thing to be favored in the harem," Li Sihai retorted with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense about what the people support, then Chen Chong will be in big trouble, and the five mansions don't need to be 'lucky' to get a majestic First Emperor." "No matter how crooked you are," Lin Jingwan snorted in annoyance, "If I don't agree, you won't be allowed to find another woman." This is also the law of the Five Mansions. The corners of her eyes and eyebrows were charming, and she said such triumphant words from between her round and sultry lips and teeth.

Lin Jingwan turned her body lightly, avoiding Li Sihai's annoyed gaze by the way. As everyone knows, her dancing skills are the best in the world, and ordinary people are often ashamed of themselves and don't even dare to dance with her. But Li Sihai was not, there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, his demeanor seemed very confident, rhythmically led her dance steps, and took the initiative unhurriedly, occasionally letting her temporarily get out of her control, so that the little feet in brocade dancing shoes rotated lightly and unrestrainedly, admiring the light on her face blooming upside down, like a flame exuding infinite charm. The two advanced and retreated with the rhythm together, and immediately became the focus of attention of the audience, and both men and women looked at this perfect pair with envy.

After a few tunes such as "Green Waist", "Tuozhi", "Kang Guole", and "Concentric Knot", Lin Jingwan took a break, and Li Sihai slowly paced in front of Chen Chong. He and Chen Chong, Zhang Caiwei, and Li Ruoxue are all acquaintances, so it's not good to come and say hello.

"Willing to come?" Zhang quipped: "Is Xiaoyao Hou deflated again?" ”

"The snow in the Green Ridge is melting quickly," Chen Chong punned, and then asked, "Have you decided on a plan for attacking the Turks at sea?" ”

"There are things to win and not lose," Li Sihai said with a smile, "Most of their most important cities are by the sea, while ours is deep inland. We can happily plunder the Great Eater princes, if the Great Eater wants to retaliate, he can only go to storm Haixi Port, they are willing to come to the decisive battle, this is not in the hands of the military government? If they don't dare to fight a decisive battle," Li Sihai swallowed, as if a hunter was staring at his prey, and said with a smile, "I have been harassing the sea routes, and many of the large quantities of goods between the Romani Turks and the Great Food Princes are maintained by sea routes, and the sea and land cooperation will cut off the connection between the Sultan and the Great Food Princes, leaving them all isolated." The Anxi army lived in the center of the circle inland, and destroyed their cities one by one. Pruning its branches and leaves, then cutting down its trunk, and finally driving the stubborn people to the seashore can uproot the Turkic and Great Eclipse forces. ”

If he just faced Chen Chong, Li Sihai didn't have to bother much, most of this explanation was for the crown princess Zhang Caiwei. Everyone has been studying in the palace since childhood, and Zhang Caiwei was set as the crown princess at a very young age. In the eyes of others, Zhang Caiwei will be a qualified queen of the world, and Li Sihai knows that she is more interested in the war between the two countries than ordinary men.

"That's right," Chen nodded, but his face was a little regretful, "It's a pity that it took too long." ”

Li Sihai is a partner who grew up with Chen Chong since he was a child, so in front of him, Chen Chong did not hide his worries. After the Song Prime Minister's Mansion came to power, Chen Dong, Cao Liangshi, Wu Zilong and others acted vigorously and resolutely, recovering Bianliang externally and eradicating dissidents internally. Although half of the country was lost, the southeast half of the country also had a population of more than 40 million, which was almost the sum of the Xia and Liao kingdoms. Moreover, the situation of maintaining the Liao and Song Dynasty in the east is quite variable, and the military intelligence department heard that Yelu Dashi once sent a secret envoy to Ezhou to negotiate peace, and once the opportunity is missed, if you want to swallow the Song Dynasty and destroy the Liao, I am afraid that the price paid will be greater. Listening to Chen Chong's words, Zhang Caiwei's eyes darkened, obviously, Chen Chong usually talked to her about the situation in Kanto.

"The destruction of the Turks was decided by the Protectorate." Li Sihai's tone was meaningful, "What I think about is just execution." ”

"You're right." Chen nodded and said thoughtfully, "Wufu is the pillar of the country, let's do our part." Although the strategy you have set is good, but there are advantages and disadvantages, our country lives in the land, and the Turkic eclipse at sea is moving, although we are not afraid of their retaliation, but we do not have such a strong foundation as the eclipse with troops at sea. Skilled sailors are also dozens of times less than them, and there is no replenishment. As long as there are heavy losses in one or two major battles, and the ship can be bought, the manpower will be unsustainable. ”

"Your Highness is too worried," Li Sihai said with a smile, "As soon as the sailors of the Song Kingdom grasp a lot of money, as long as the military salary is good, they will have as much as they want." ”

"There is a family in the world, you don't see the outside," Chen Zhong sighed, shook his head and said, "It's right that the Protector Mansion thinks so too." ”

The topic was a little heavy, Zhang Caiwei's eyes turned slightly, pulled Chen Chong, and said angrily: "The affairs of the DPRK and China, let's talk about it another day." In the Shangyuan Festival, everyone is happy and happy, but they are still talking about the four seas and saying these things that are bad for the scenery," she blinked her eyes and said to Li Sihai: "You, don't be so greedy, Jingwan is such a pitiful person, you just want to be angry with her." She looked at the pretty figure in the distance, shook her head and said, "It's going to be a battle soon, no matter what, if I were you, wouldn't I hold Jingwan in my hand every day, where could I make her angry." She looked angry and stomped her feet to uphold justice. This sister from Weiyuan Town, Li Sihai has never been able to provoke, he felt a little dizzy, so he said goodbye to Chen Chong, and said goodbye a little embarrassed.

Witnessing this scene, Li Ruoxue's eyes widened curiously, she didn't expect the gentle and virtuous princess to have such a side.

"When we were children, we studied and practiced martial arts together in Dunhuang," Zhang Caiwei stroked Yun sideburns a little proudly, "Li Sihai doesn't know how many times I have cleaned up." "Oh." Li Ruoxue nodded suddenly in realization. Chen Chong coughed lightly, his face was a little embarrassed, Zhang Caiwei smiled, grabbed his right arm, and said with a smile: "My sister is not an outsider, if there are disciples in Luoyang who don't know what to do, you can come to me to punish him." ”
