Chapter 187: New Year 193 1
January 8, 193 AD, is the day before New Year's Day (New Year's Eve) and what later generations called Chinese New Year's Eve.
Luoyang is a metropolis, and there are a lot of people on the street in normal times, not to mention the upcoming New Year.
Since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, the people of Luoyang have not had a decent Spring Festival for nearly ten years. To be able to have such a peaceful life like a paradise in troubled times, their Emperor His Majesty Ren Yi has made great contributions.
First the mighty Yellow Turban Rebellion, then the blood-sucking exploitation of the family gate valve, and then the Dong Zhuo Rebellion, in recent years, the people of Luoyang have suffered a lot of hardships.
After Ren Yi came, he drove away the gate valve and the war disaster for them, and promoted new agricultural tools for them, which greatly increased the grain production; In addition to the ten taxes and one tax, there are no other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.
This kind of tax rate in the three countries at the end of the Han Dynasty, none of them is lower and purer than Ren Yi's tax rate.
Therefore, the people of Luoyang also agreed from their hearts that this warlord was born as an emperor.
"Luo'er, Zifu, how about we go out of the palace to play today? We just need a few black guards to protect it secretly. Ren Yi said.
"Yes, yes!" The two girls said together, "We haven't been out of the palace to play for a long time." ”
"This time, we won't bring Zheng'er and Dong'er out with these two little light bulbs," Wen Luo said, "You are jealous again." ”
"....." Ren Yi is full of black lines.
Ren Yi took Wen Luo with his left hand, Wei Zifu with his right hand, and walked out of the palace happily. As for Zhen Mi, she was still young, so Ren Yi sent her home to play.
The streets are full of people, every household is pasted with red lanterns made of paper, and there are many small merchants on the street selling dumplings that are only available during the Lantern Festival.
The children frolicked together in groups of three or five, and the woman, who rarely showed her head at home, also took her husband's hand and walked out of the house.
Ren Yi has lived in the palace for a long time and has been fighting abroad for many years, so the people of Luoyang have basically never seen the emperor's true face, so Ren Yi can be his own passer-by on the street with peace of mind.
Not far away.
"Brother Yi's divine power, Brother Yi's divine power!"
A group of children watched as the child in the middle of the crowd easily lifted a boulder that looked very weighty, and the children erupted in cheers.
The child, who was called Brother Yi by everyone, said: "I'm nothing, my brother Sun Ce said, when he was my age, he lifted a heavier stone than this. ”
Although the child named Sun Yi said this, the smug look was clearly written on his face.
"Brother Yi is mighty!" The children said in unison, "Brother Yi, can we also become a great hero like General Sun Ce?" ”
Sun Yi said: "My eldest brother is not very powerful, but my righteous brother is really powerful!" ”
"Brother Yi, who is your brother-in-law, is he more powerful than General Sun like this?"
Sun Yi said: "Of course. My brother-in-law is the famous His Majesty today. How's that, is it good enough? ”
"Wow!" The children suddenly boiled, "Boss Yi, I didn't expect you to be so powerful, take it." ”
"That's it!" Sun Yi said very proudly, "You don't want to see who I am, boss?" I am Sun Yi, Sun Shubi, yes! You guys mix with me well, not to mention how powerful you will be in the future, it's still no problem to make you eat and drink spicy food. ”
"The boss is mighty!"
"This kid," Ren Yi said with a smile, "he's quite capable of tossing." Let's go, Ro'er, let's go up and see these bastards. ”
"Boss, Wei Niangniang is here." Sun Yi was complacent when a child said.
"Wei Fatdun, you can't be joking, how could Wei Niangniang come here?" Sun Yi didn't believe it.
"Boss doesn't believe you look back." Wei Xiaoxiao said.
Sun Yi looked back disapplausively. It didn't matter at first glance, his face was almost green. Then he was stunned on the spot.
"Righteousness... Oh no, Your Majesty..."After all, Sun Yi saw the emperor for the first time, and his speech stuttered a little.
Ren Yi smiled kindly and said, "Sun Yi is right." Don't be nervous, you have a bit of your brother's demeanor. ”
"Your Majesty." This group of bears and children also saluted Ren Yi one by one.
"All right, get up, boys." Ren Yi said.
"Okay." All at once the children were all happy.
"Brother Emperor," said one of the mischievous boys, "I heard that your martial arts are also very strong, can you show us both hands." ”
The other children also looked at the boy with a look of approval, not feeling disobedient at all.
"My martial arts, in front of my brothers, are not worth mentioning." Ren Yi said, "If you want to see it, follow my brother to Sun Yi's house, there are many people here, and I can't show it." ”
"Okay!" The children cheered in unison, "Boss, you have to take care of our meals, and we want to see the emperor's brother show us his hands." ”
Ren Yi and the children came to Sun's Mansion with a smile and a smile.
"Your Majesty, you are here, please come in quickly." When Sun Jian heard that Ren Yi was coming, he hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Father-in-law, just call me Zijian, I'll bring the children over to play." Ren Yi said.
"Okay, Zijian, please." After Sun Jian finished speaking, he arranged for his subordinates to arrange it.
On the martial arts arena, a young man is practicing marksmanship. Seeing someone coming, the young man said, "Uncle Bi, you went out to mess around again." Well? Your Majesty is also there! ”
"Brother Bofu," Ren Yi said, "I brought the children here to play, and said that I wanted to see the emperor's brother's martial arts." Uncle Bi, this kid, is good, he has the style you had back then. ”
Sun Ce said with a smile; "In terms of martial arts, Your Majesty, you can't do it, but in terms of dragon spirit and personality charm, we can't catch up with Your Majesty even if we pat the horse."
Sun Ce continued: "Children, do you want to see the emperor's brother practice marksmanship with me?" ”
"I want it!" Even Sun Yi was coaxing on the side.
Ren Yi smiled bitterly, picked up an iron spear from the weapon rack, and said, "Brother Bofu, I'll come first." After saying that, he put on a starting pose with a gun.
When Sun Ce saw this starting style, he understood that Ren Yi had improved a lot in martial arts through the training of war.
However, Sun Ce still looked relaxed. In his opinion, although Ren Yi's martial arts have improved, there is not much pressure on him.
Sun Ce put on a starting gesture very calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please." ”
