Chapter 061: Celebration Banquet
(Uncle Ben finished the old book "Daming Inspector" official douwen, please correct the brothers) along the way, along the way, the mountain pass has been cleaned, all the corpses of the Yellow Turban Army have been dug and buried on the spot, this is also Lu Peng repeatedly insisted that Zou Jing agreed, don't say anything humanitarian, what humanistic care into the soil for safety, the weather is too hot, these corpses that have been trampled to rot, once they decay and deteriorate, will immediately cause a plague, after the chaos there is a big epidemic, this has become a natural cycle, Under the medical conditions at that time, a plague would cause a tragic situation of thousands of miles of uninhabited, so no matter who was on both sides of the war, the body would be buried as much as possible, otherwise the plague would not recognize people, which had nothing to do with justice or injustice.
"How many heads have been collected?" Lu Peng asked Xi Zhen beside him with a heavy heart.
Xi Zhen replied excitedly: "More than seven thousand, not counting those with vague faces." ”
Lu Peng sighed: "The Han nation, it has hurt a vitality again, this thief, this thief, this thief, is evil." ”
In fact, Lu Peng cursed Zhang Jiao, and Zhang Jiao was really wronged.
This great upheaval was inevitable.
Peaceful for a long time, overpopulation, the gate valve clan accumulates land, officialdom is corrupt, the accumulation of evils, the emperor of a word, the royal inheritance of one generation is not as good as the generation, this is the strange circle of Chinese history, which dynasty can not escape this fate, so, this chaos, drought is the inducement, even if there is no horn, there will be Wang Jiao, Li Jiao, what horn to rebel, this bundle of dry firewood, in fact, has long been piled on the crater of fate, just waiting for an opportunity to ignite.
Outside the city of Qingzhou, there are hundreds of people wandering around the original Yellow Turban Thieves camp, discarding the things that the officials and soldiers discarded and not needing, carefully taking them home, even the thatched branches on the nests, tying them up, and going home as firewood and grass, saving money to buy, or going out of the city to collect them. The Chinese people are industrious and thrifty, not extravagant, and they are cultivated from the bones.
Entering the city gate, but also because of the people inside and outside the city to transport the seizures, so it reflects a bustling feeling of prosperity, often on the road, can always hear some people greet each other, talk about their adventures in the camp of the thieves outside the city, or they think that they have made a small fortune, or frustrated to tell their companions that they just got a bag of thatch.
But no matter who it was, none of them sincerely congratulated the government on its victory.
This war, for the small people, is simply an inexplicable position, so there is no way to comment.
Several people followed Zou Jing directly to the Taishou Mansion.
The tall and mighty building of the Taishou Mansion interprets the majesty of the government, and on the high steps of the gate, a man with a swaggering toe is vigilant against the pedestrians passing on the street, checking the people who come in and out.
Looking inside, the vast hall of the Taishou Yamen behind the wide square had already lit candles early, and the shadows were full of friends, and it seemed that he was too late.
When Lu Peng took Xi Zhen in, he saw Liu Guan and Zhang standing in the corner respectfully, Zhang Fei looked around anxiously, Guan Yu closed his eyes and recuperated, and Liu Bei worked hard to sell his identity business card to the people around him. No matter what happens in the future, let's get acquainted with each other first.
Soon after Lu Peng came in, the banquet officially began, according to the rules of the time, they were all single seats, the top was the local host Gong Jing, and the highest status Zou Jing, and then under the stage were Qingzhou officials at all levels from large to small, then specially invited local wealthy gentry guests, and then generals and colonels at all levels in the army, and then - Liu Guanzhang and Lu Peng Xizhen who had reached the threshold of the hall.
And then - gone.
This is not to underestimate the heroes, because the status determines the seat, this is the rule at the time, Liu Guanzhang and Lu Peng Xizhen no matter how great the credit, but the reward from the superiors has not come down, you are still a cloth cloth white body, in this hall, you have no status, if it weren't for the fact that you are a Qingzhou hero, in fact, you don't even have the qualifications to enter the house.
First of all, the opening remarks are, of course, the local host, Gong Jing's speech, Qingzhou Taishou Gong Jing's speech, then Zou Jing's speech, then the guest speech, then the official representative's emotion, and then the squire's representative's speech, and then - anyway, the routines that should be there in the later generations are all here, and the etiquette that the officialdom of later generations does not have, there are also here, and the crepe crepe that he shook his head and said was as smelly and long as the footcloth, and even Lu Peng, who had eaten a meal, was drowsy and his stomach was rumbling when he heard it, and he kept slandering in his heart, where did so much nonsense come from, These guys are really hungry, too.
Finally, after Gong Jing made a final summary and praised the emperor's wisdom, the meal was opened.
This meal came up like flowing water, but the meal was also divided into grades, Gong Jing and Zou Jing were liehous, pigs, cattle and sheep were all ready, and then they decreased in turn, decreasing, decreasing to Liu Guanzhang and Lu Peng, there was only green vegetables and tofu.
Don't be picky, this is the etiquette rules of the evil feudal society, and you have to obey it if you don't accept it.
The wine is up, but this time everyone is equal, it is still Lu Peng's product, a pound of Moutai, it seems that his two elder brothers are really booming, and they are all sold in the Qingzhou lobby, and I don't know how much I can earn after this meal.
So in order to expand consumption, Lu Peng was full of joy and sincerity and toasted with all the people around him who could talk. Now every time Lu Peng clinks glasses with someone, it is the sound of tinkling copper coins.
Looking at other people's big fish and meat, and looking at the green vegetables and radishes in front of him, Zhang Fei shook his chopsticks indignantly: "It's really annoying, and I will definitely be a Wuding food (Shangqing Liehou) in the future." ”
Liu Bei immediately stopped the third brother with a loud voice: "Third brother be cautious, be cautious." ”
Lu Peng smiled and advised: "Drink more, drink more." ”
According to the principle of attribution to Shangguan, Liu Guanzhang and Lu Peng are simply foils, and they can only listen to the praise and self-praise of the above two bigwigs, and they have nothing to do with the four of them.
