Luoyang.

It's another year of autumnal equinox, and it's also another year of abundance.

The Emperor's Imperial Rites Department played the drinking ceremony in the township, and ordered the old men of the priests and doctors to walk in the school, and the people in the society also did it.

Every year on the autumn equinox, it is the harvest festival.

Every autumn, all parts of the country will hold a village drinking ceremony, which is a traditional custom that has been inherited in the pre-Qin period, and now it is established and inherited by the imperial court again in the form of an edict, and the day of the autumn equinox is set as the harvest festival.

According to tradition, the village drink must choose a number of respected elders as the guest of the village drink, and preside over the event together with the local officials.

The township drinking guests are divided into the names of Dabin, Yibin, Jiebin, Sanbin, Zhongbin and so on, but the Dabin is also known as Zhengbin as the highest grade, which must be awarded by the emperor's order.

The village drinking ceremony, of course, is not just about eating and drinking to celebrate the festival, otherwise there is no need to have villagers. In fact, this is to advocate education, carry forward the traditional morality of society, and advocate the moral and ethical norms of loyalty to the ministers, filial piety to the sons, brothers, harmony among neighbors, trust among friends, and orderliness among the young and the old.

In some dynasties, the drinking ceremony is held on the fifteenth day of the first month of the first month of each year and the first day of the first month of October, and is held by the government at all levels.

And this year, Emperor Luo Cheng issued an edict to set the autumn equinox of each year as a harvest festival, and held a village drinking ceremony on this day. At the same time, it is held in schools in each county, county, and township, and is presided over by local officials and respected elders elected by the local government.

Township drinking guests by all levels of local officials to inspect, and issue a guest contract, submitted to the superior chief official for review, after the review to report level by level, and finally to the ministry.

At the township level, the township drinkers were finally issued by the political envoy of the province, while the county-level ones were approved by the officials and issued to the secretary, and the county-level township drinkers were approved by the emperor himself and awarded to the secretary.

All the township guests who were awarded the Si Zhao, the imperial court also awarded medals, and the local government also beat gongs and drums to present plaques and set up memorial arches to congratulate.

It can be said that it is definitely an incomparable honor to be a guest of the country, and it is definitely a villager.

The expenses of the township drinking ceremony are also responsible for the county yamen, and the county magistrate is the east.

The guests are generally filled by officials, and the guests are filled by local people of high prestige.

In this way, these village drinkers have committed mistakes in morality, and the magistrate does not observe the recommendation, and when it is discovered, they will be removed from the list, and the recommending official will also be investigated and punished.

At the same time, the emperor also stipulated that the township drinking ceremony should be toasted by the representatives of the students, scholars, attendants and soldiers.

Those who are elected as village drinkers must be innocent, have good conduct, be highly respected, and be praised as the townspeople in the township.

Being able to become a township drinker at the township and county level is actually equivalent to becoming a member of the CPPCC, not only glory, but even some hidden powers, such as being able to have some voice in the government, and even the emperor gave all township drinkers a privilege, that is, they can participate in politics and discuss politics and do things.

For example, township-level township drinkers can directly perform to the county, county-level township drinkers can directly perform to the provincial government, and county-level guests can directly report to the imperial court, which can go directly to the heavens.

The townspeople can put forward their own opinions on local suggestions, and naturally they can also play some local illegal things, which is actually equivalent to having a kind of supervision power, which can be regarded as the history of the opposition emperor.

In an agrarian society, the people pray for peace in the country, social harmony, good weather, abundant harvests, prosperity of six livestock, abundant life and well-being, filial piety, virtue and good talents, and so on.

Luo Cheng skillfully integrates the people's emotions, social morality and national laws, and advocates good social morality with the tradition of village drinking ceremony, so as to play a role in uniting people's hearts, harmonizing society and stabilizing social order.

The emperor also issued a special edict to let the officials select 100 people who have reached the age of 70 and are in good health from among the people in the countryside from all over the world, and receive Luoyang to come to hold the Luoyang Township Drinking Ceremony with the emperor in the Guozi Prison, and give each of the 100 old people six honors, and give them 10,000 coins and 100 silk horses.

Promoting traditional virtues and promoting positive energy is very necessary in Luo Cheng's view.

The harvest festival and the village drinking ceremony were combined, not only to celebrate the harvest, but also to promote the traditional virtues, and at the same time, the emperor also skillfully selected the village sages, giving them the privilege of giving advice and making suggestions, and let them serve as the imperial history of cloth clothes, in fact, it is also to further strengthen the supervision and control of the locality.

Especially in the countryside.

In the past, the township drinking ceremony was mainly at the state and county levels, and in the township, it was not so grand, but it was more lively, but now Luo Cheng even asked each township to elect seven or eight township drinking guests, the purpose of course is to break the fact that the imperial power did not go to the countryside in the past, so that the imperial power can penetrate deeper and cooperate with the township pavilion system to grasp the deeper and lower trends.

"Your Majesty, the townsfolk have been sent to the country."

"More than a dozen Zaifu from the palace have also arrived at Guozijian to prepare to preside over today's township drinking ceremony, and the hundred outstanding young scholars selected by His Majesty and the hundred veterans of a hundred battles are also ready."

Luo Cheng was dressed by the palace people on the one hand, and listened to the report of the inner servant on the other.

"Are the queen and the crown prince ready, and the concubines and princesses? Today is the first harvest festival in my Daqin, and it is also the first time that a township drinking ceremony is held. ”

"The report over there says that the concubines and princesses have already dressed up, that is."

"That's it, just say it."

"It's King Song, and the people in his house reported that King Song is sick, has abdominal pain and diarrhea, and can't go."

"Have you sent an imperial doctor to see it?"

"The imperial doctor said that King Song was not sick."

Luo Cheng's brows furrowed, and the palace people were so frightened that they didn't dare to move.

"Hasn't King Song changed at all?"

"Sage, since Concubine Yan Shu was grounded, King Song has been in a temper, no one can persuade him, even his master Wang Fu is often beaten and scolded by him, and the two angry people are sick and refuse to go to King Song's mansion."

"Rebels, evil animals."

Luo Cheng scolded angrily.

"I'm already ten years old, don't you know a little bit about it? I left him room before, but I didn't expect that he didn't know the slightest bit of repentance, and he actually intensified it. What about Concubine Yan! ”

"Concubine Yan is still grounded, and she was not notified of today's township drinking ceremony."

Luo Chengqi's hair was dizzy.

"Send someone to tell Concubine Yan, let her dress up, and then ask her to go to the Song Palace, and take the Song King to the Guozijian to participate in the township drinking ceremony."

"Your Majesty, Concubine Yan is only afraid that she will not obey the order."

"Then tell her that if the two of them have to go against me today, then I won't be polite anymore. Tomorrow, I will depose Changqing as a commoner and exile Yunnan! Concubine Yan was also abolished as a concubine. ”

"The saint is angry."

The provincial eunuch in the palace can also be regarded as the emperor's confidant, and when he saw that the emperor was really angry, he hurriedly persuaded him.

"That's what you say!"

At this time, a eunuch hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Admiral Li of the Imperial City Division has urgent matters to see."

Li Xian brought a piece of news that surprised Luo Cheng, Tubo Zampu was praised on the day, and the young and ambitious Zampu died.

"Dead?"

"It was poisoned."

The comprehensive reform of Nangri Praise finally angered the old nobles, so the subjects of the father's clan rebelled, the subjects of the mother's clan also rebelled, and even the tribes of Sun Bo, Subi, Nieni, Dabu, Gongbu, and Niangbu rebelled!

"Your Majesty, Tubo Zampu was killed, and all the tribes rebelled, and I am very happy."

Luo Cheng smiled, "Eunuch Wang, go and inform Princess Saimaga of this news and let her mourn." If she doesn't want to participate in the village drinking ceremony today, she can stay in the palace and don't have to go. ”
