Chapter 296: The Ministers' Banquet Eliminates Jealousy
Yun Xi pondered for a moment, and saw that Mu Sheng had already arrived in the army at the end of the report, so he said: "Jian Yi drafted the will, He Fu entered Beijing to be rewarded, handed over the army to Mu Sheng's command, and brought back to Kunming." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Yun Xi has decided to take He Fu as the left minister of Minguo, but Yun Xi has not seen He Fu since he became the emperor's grandson, so this time he called him to the capital to see him, rewarded him well, and told him how to be this king in person.
Jian Yi received the order, and after preparing the holy decree, he retreated and handed over the holy decree to the Secretary of General Affairs for issuance.
Yun Xi looked at the leak at this time, it was already time to eat at noon, so he returned to Kunning Palace.
On the way from Qianqing Palace to Kunning Palace, it suddenly snowed at this time. Yun Xi looked up and saw that the snow was very heavy, and it was spread on the ground in a short time. Yun Xi walked to Kunning Palace and saw Min'er and Siqi playing in the snow. Min'er happily rolled in the snow, and her clothes were all covered with snow. Fortunately, the clothes were properly dressed, and the snow did not enter the clothes, but the palace maid on the side was also very panicked to pick up Min'er.
Min'er turned around and saw Yun Xi, ran over and said, "Father, it's snowing." ”
Yun Xi picked her up and said, "Father knows." Then he patted her clothes with his hand and said, "Girl's family, it's not good to roll in the snow like this, build a snowman with Siqi." Min'er said "um", but she didn't actually understand.
Yun Xi carried her in. Xi Yao saw that Min'er's coat was wet, so she asked the palace maid next to her to take Aller's from Yun Xi's hand and take her to change her clothes, and said a few more words to Min'er. Min'er didn't speak, just smiled and went down. Siqi's costume maid also took Siqi to change clothes.
When they had changed their clothes, they started lunch. Xiyi also brought Wenqi to eat together.
Lunch was light. Mainly because Yunxi and Xiyao attach great importance to maintenance, and in the evening, Yunxi also has to entertain a banquet for civil and military officials, and Xiyao also has to feast on life-saving wives, so it is lighter.
There is a very complete and strict set of rules and regulations for banqueting civil and military officials. Shang Bao Si set up the throne in the Fengtian Temple, sitting in the north and facing south, Guanglu Temple set up the wine pavilion in the west of the throne, the dining pavilion in the east of the throne, and the Zhen Xi Ji Pavilion on the east and west sides of the wine and dining pavilion.
If there is a crown prince/grandson, sit on the east side of the emperor, facing west. The lower side of the emperor's throne is flanked by the king's seat, facing east and west. Officials in Beijing with more than seven grades can participate in the banquet, and those above the fourth rank can sit in the hall, and those below the fifth rank can sit in the east and west halls.
Before the feast, the emperor needs to be in place in advance, and then the crown prince leads the prince into the house to bow and sit down. Then the civil and military officials walked in and saluted. Then the first prescribed piece of music "The Song of Yan Jing" was played, and the priest of the workshop entered the wine, and the emperor stopped the music after drinking, and the hundred officials took their seats.
Eight different pieces will be played, and these pieces cannot be changed, plus the first piece for a total of nine pieces. There is also a series of very complicated ceremonies in the middle, and it is not until after the ninth piece of music is played that the civil and military officials can eat.
Basically, by this time, all the meals were almost cold, and the civil and military officials basically couldn't eat anything. Therefore, in history, ministers participated in the banquet and ate at home in advance, and when they arrived at the banquet, they just ate a little dim sum from the palace.
The emperor and the princes are a little better, and they can eat after playing "The Dance of Pacifying the World", but they are generally not good at eating, anyway, in the past few years, Yunxi went back to the palace at night to eat.
Yun Xi decided to brush up a little more reputation as 'one of the most poetic emperors in the past', and said to his ministers: "Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and it happens to be snowing heavily today. The so-called 'Ruixue Mega Year' is a good sign. ”
The ministers hurriedly raised their glasses in celebration.
Then Yun Xi said: "So I got a poem by chance, and I said that I listened to it with all of you. ”
"The title is Qing Pingle - New Year
Send the tiger to welcome the rabbit, and the snow dances in the sky. Today, there is snow in front of the window, and there are a few birds in the spring dawn.
Dongjun Saibei Jiangnan, thousands of households opened. The god dragon of Chixian County woke up, and there were thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in front of him. ”
This poem is not a particularly good kind of poem that can be remembered through the ages, but it is also considered the best among poems of this kind of title.
Yun Xi said again: "Ladies and gentlemen, do you have poetry to reconcile? ”
Under normal circumstances, the emperor will ask his ministers to compose poems during the Chinese New Year, but the emperor generally does not compose poems, but only allows civil officials to compose poems to commemorate the occasion. In previous years, Yunxi had never written poems on New Year's Day, but this year was the first time.
At this time, basically the military generals are just decorations, and they are the world of civil officials. The civil servants of the Hanlin Academy were very excited, because this was their specialty!
Hanlin Yuan chanted a poem, and then Zhou Rui also chanted a poem, and then responded in groups. Mainly because this is a reserved program for the past years, everyone has prepared stock in advance, so this kind of poems are emerging in an endless stream at this time.
Xie Jin, who had always been proud, snorted disdainfully. He knew that they were all poems prepared in advance, so he disdained them.
When a person's poem was finished, Xie Jin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister improvised a poem for His Majesty and the ministers to listen to. ”
"The rhythm is the same, and the shoulder rubbing hub is harmonious.
There is no need to go to the eastern suburbs, spring is in thousands of households. ”
Even if this poem is just an improvised work by Xie Jin, the quality is above the works of others, and it can be regarded as a good work. If someone else sings such a poem, most of the other people, even if they are not very close to him, will praise it; But just now Xie Jin slapped them in the face and deliberately said the word 'impromptu', so no one cheered for a while.
It was his friend Dong Lun who began to praise, and other civil officials also praised because Yun Xi was also there, which alleviated the embarrassment at the scene.
Xie Jin himself didn't care about this, and said: "The minister just thought of four sixteen-character orders with the theme of spring for His Majesty and your colleagues to listen to. ”
"Spring, a small village with purple and red. Sing and rest, don't be a flower man.
Spring, peach and plum fragrance to eliminate jade dust. The thunder rises, and the rain leaves no trace.
In spring, flowers fly into the twilight clouds. Qing cherished, and the clouds scattered tears stained the scarf.
Spring, full of acacia greenery. Slaves are also returned, and the autumn queen is evenly planted. ”
Because it has always been believed that the Chinese New Year represents the arrival of spring, it is also appropriate to use spring as the theme.
The civil servants were amazed at Xie Jin's urgency. You must know that in the gathering a few years ago, Xie Jin had already made a few poems, but today he can still make so many poems, even people who are very disdainful of Xie Jin's personality secretly sigh that Xie Jin's literary talent is really too high.
Then everyone had to get up and praise Xie Jin again.
