"It's incredible." The 'First Spring Festival Gala of the Ming Dynasty' had already ended for two quarters of an hour, and they were also on their way back to their mansion from the palace, but Zhu Yang still couldn't help but sigh.

"yes, I didn't expect a party like this." The palace and the Min palace were very close, so Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, who went home with him, also sighed. And in fact, his exclamation is stronger than Zhu Yang.

Although the economy of Yunnan and Myanmar is very backward like Daning, there are many ethnic groups in the local area, and there are different cultures, and Zhu Yang can see a lot of different types of songs and dances; But the other ethnic groups in Daning, whether they are Mongols or Jurchens, are very backward in all aspects, far inferior to the ethnic groups of Yunnan and Burma.

However, Zhu Yang didn't notice Zhu Quan's emotion, and continued: "How about you say that I will have such a party in Ava? Yunnan and Myanmar have many ethnic groups, and they also have their own good literature and art, which should be very interesting. ”

"Hey, you can do this in Ava, I can't do it in Daning." Zhu Quan sighed: "There are only three nationalities in Daning, and there are only a few kinds of songs and dances, so I am tired of watching them on weekdays, and I don't have the heart to hold any Spring Festival Gala with this." ”

Only then did Zhu Yang notice Zhu Quan's emotion, and immediately said: "Brother Seventeen doesn't have to be like this, I heard Yun Xi mention that although the ethnic groups in the Northeast call themselves Jurchens, they are actually many ethnic groups, and their songs and dances are also different, not necessarily what Daning sees now." ”

"And there is also cross talk. Cross talk has nothing to do with these, as long as you can come up with a good book, you can make up good cross talk. Brother Seventeen can take a few officials who can't be officials and literati who are good at writing operas and scripts to Daning, specializing in writing cross talk books. ”

"That's right." Zhu Quandao. He'd watched almost all the other shows tonight, but he hadn't watched them together. But cross talk is a brand new show, and it's very funny, which is very suitable for those of them who have a lot of things to do on weekdays to relax their spirits, and his favorite show is cross talk. The suggestion of bringing a few literati back to be in charge of writing the book is very good.

"But the simple cross talk is still a bit dry, as a concoction to deal with political affairs, it's not good to watch cross talk all night." Zhu Quan said again.

"Hmm." Zhu Yang nodded.

After that, the two of them chatted for a while, and then they arrived at the door of their respective palaces. The two of them made an appointment to meet tomorrow and go home separately.

……

……

"Auntie, what do they think?" Yun Xi said to Xi Yao.

After the completion of the 'First Spring Festival Gala of the Ming Dynasty', Yun Xi said a few more words and announced the end of tonight's clan banquet. After that, he returned to the harem with Xiyao and others, and asked this question on the way.

"Everyone thought it was very new and liked it very much. Especially cross talk, everyone thinks it's very funny, and many people are thinking about asking a literati who can write scripts to write cross talk. Xi Yao said. These clan women watched the Spring Festival Gala from the two-story attic that was urgently built in this palace.

"That's good." Yun Xi said: "Uncle Wang and his brothers on my side also like it very much. ”

"I see that several uncles and brothers also like it very much. It is estimated that they will hold their own Spring Festival Gala in their fiefdom after they go back. Anyway, I will be closed in the future, and I will definitely hold the Spring Festival Gala by myself in the future. Yun Xuan smiled.

'So from next year's New Year, Yunnan Spring Festival Gala, Yiwu Spring Festival Gala, Daning Spring Festival Gala' and so on will appear? Yun Xi felt very funny when he thought of this scene: "The central Spring Festival Gala has only been held once, and the local Spring Festival Gala will appear, which is much faster than later generations." ’

Yun Xi really smiled. After stopping laughing, he turned his head sideways and said to Wang Xi: "Wang Xi, you have done a good job on this errand, and I have been rewarded." ”

He turned to the book again and said, "You have also worked hard, and you have done a good job, and I will reward you." ”

Wang Xihe immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, this is the duty of slaves and maids, and it is not hard. ”

"Hey, I've always had clear rewards and punishments, and since you two did a good job, of course I want to be rewarded."

"But you are the queen's female official, and I will let the queen reward you; Wang Xi, you are my subordinate, and I will reward you personally. But tomorrow I will reward you. Yun Xi said.

"Wait for the poem, this palace is also a little sleepy now, wait until tomorrow to choose the right reward for you." Xi Yao said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty (Niangniang) for your favor." Wang Xihe waited for the book and said. They weren't worried that Yoon-hee and Hee-yao would forget about it.

As they spoke, the few of them returned to Kunning Palace. According to the practice of previous years, everyone stayed in the main house to do some pastime, such as playing leaves and other things to kill time and keep the New Year.

But this year, after Yun Xi returned here, he did not stay in the main house, but went to the small study. Xi Yao asked him what he was doing with some surprise, and Yun Xi said that he was going to the study to check some things.

Xi Yao felt that he was not telling the truth, but she didn't dare to ask again, and watched him walk out of the main house.

Yun Xi came to the small study, ordered Wang Xi to light a candle, took a book from Huang Lu's hand, and looked at it. Although he had probably heard Yang Shiqi, the housekeeper on duty today, talk about the content of the recital before the banquet began, he still had to watch it for himself.

After a long while, Yun Xi muttered to himself, "I remember that this was not the case in the previous life, how could things develop like this in this life?" What the hell was he thinking? ”

After thinking for a while and not understanding, Yun Xi put down the fold and said, "That's it, wait for tomorrow when you meet the messenger, let's go back to celebrate the New Year." ”

……

……

While Yunxi was holding a clan banquet, far away on the border between Guangxi and Annam, soldiers stationed at the border were using their own way to celebrate the arrival of the New Year - gambling.

Gambling was very common in the ancient army, after all, there was very little entertainment in the army, and it was not good to drink or go out to find a woman when you were on duty at night, so you could only gamble.

Of course, some military generals who abide by military discipline very much don't like this, for example, Luo Shenzhen, the staff officer of the Elephant Warrior Guard, who is now watching them gambling, pointed to the gambling table and said to Luo Hongming, a thousand households to which these soldiers belong: "You just let them gamble? ”

"What if you don't let it go?" Luo Hongming said: "They still have to be on duty here for the Chinese New Year, guarding the border for the Ming Dynasty, except for the bitter big head soldiers, no one will work on such a day." Everyone else in the guard is at home for the New Year, so why do you ask these soldiers to stare at the Annan barracks thousands of feet away from each other without doing anything? ”

"Besides, we also sent people to guard outside, and we also met the requirements of the commander."

Luo Shenzhen was speechless for a while. Although he was born in a family of commanders and intellectuals, and since then he has been in Weili, Jiangwutang or Dusili, and has not been an official underneath, he also knows that the big soldiers under him cannot be blindly pressed, otherwise they may mutiny, so he understands that Qianhu's approach is correct.

However, "the place opposite is the Annanite people, so you are not afraid that they will call?" Luo Shenzhen said.

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid. When His Majesty sent people to Huguang, I joined the army, and after more than ten years of fighting, I was named a hereditary thousand households, guarding this broken place to eat, of course I don't want to lose my life. ”

"But the Annanites didn't dare to call. Before the establishment of the second year of the establishment of the industry, the Annan people on the opposite side sometimes provoked, but since the beginning of the second year of the establishment of the industry, no one dares to provoke. ”

"I was very curious about this at the time, and I also went to Fucheng to check what happened in the first year of Jianye, and found out that it was His Majesty who sent troops to fight the disobedient Fanguo."

"Then I understand, Your Majesty hit the disobedient Fanguo, so that the Annan people are also afraid, Your Majesty has not accepted their tribute now, in case of violating the border of the Ming Dynasty to anger Your Majesty, it will definitely cause military disasters, so they dare not fight." Luo Hongming said.

Luo Shenzhen didn't know what to say for a while. After a long while, he was about to say something again when he suddenly heard footsteps.

Luo Shenzhen immediately drew a knife from his waist and became vigilant; Although Luo Hongming just said that the Annan people did not dare to fight, he was also very cautious and took out a crossbow.

Soon the man who made the sound of footsteps appeared in front of them. Then in the bright moonlight, Luo Hongming recognized Liu Xun, the guard stationed at the front, and asked, "What are you doing here now?" Two quarters of an hour before you change shifts. ”

"Lord Qianhu," Liu Xun said, "there are five or six people who came over from the Annan people, and I don't understand what they claim to be. However, they are all thin-skinned and tender-skinned, and although they are wearing shabby clothes, they look like they are from rich families. So let's discuss it and send me over to ask Qianhu if you will interrogate them yourself, or if we will kill them. ”

Luo Hongming put down the crossbow, thought for a while and said, "Probably the family of the original official of Annan who fled again." Recently, Annan is carrying out some reforms, many officials have been killed, and many people who have escaped with their lives have run this way. ”

"In that case, you take them over, I'll interrogate them, and send them to Guilin Mansion."

Luo Hongming actually wanted to kill all these people. These people have some money in their hands, and if they kill them, they can get their money, Luo Hongming has already obtained hundreds of taels of silver through this method, which is still left after dividing a part of the commander and others.

But Luo Shenzhen is here, and Luo Hongming doesn't dare to do this: staff officers like him have a great future, and they will not risk losing their future after being discovered for such a 'small money'. Recently, Zhu Zanyi, the king of Jingjiang in Guilin, also learned that the soldiers guarding the frontier had secretly executed the families of fleeing officials in Annam, and because he thought these people were useful, he ordered them to be strictly forbidden to do so again, and the violators were punished to the end.

Liu Xun was actually a little strange about Luo Hongming's decision, and then he saw Luo Shenzhen's official uniform standing aside, and instantly understood the reason, so he didn't say anything more, returned to the front outpost, and brought the five or six people over.

When these people came over, Luo Hongming glanced at them, and determined from their performance that they should be the family members of some big people before. However, no matter how big Annan is, he is of little use to him.

He said loudly: "I am Luo Hongming, the mahout of the Daming Guangxi Division, who is the person in charge?" ”

A man in his forties came out and said, "I am." ”

Luo Hongming glanced at him again and began to ask questions routinely. But he didn't expect that he would know a shocking big secret.
