Chapter 955: The Feast on the First Day of the Lunar New Year
After arriving at the Taimiao, Cheng Yue was finally qualified to enter the temple with Kublai Khan and the kings, and saluted after the princes. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
In addition to some precious Mongolian holy relics, there is also a bundle of hair of Genghis Khan enshrined in the temple, except for the Great Khan, no one is allowed to act rashly, otherwise it is a capital crime. Kublai Khan specially took it out with his own hands and let Cheng Yue look at it carefully, and he could also touch it a few times with his hand, which can be regarded as the highest honor that the Mongolian kings can enjoy.
After worshipping the ancestors and the immortal heaven, the last thing is to share the sacrificial meat. In the past, it was Zhenjin who presided over this matter, but this year, because Cheng Yue's credit was too great, he also made an exception and handed it over to Cheng Yue, and it was Zhenjin who took the initiative to hand it over.
It stands to reason that Cheng Yue should refrain a few times, but Cheng Yue actually took it as a priority, and after Zhenjin proposed this, Cheng Yue only humbly said a few words before standing up and taking the sacrificial knife and presiding over the distribution of sacrificial meat. Everyone understood one thing more in their hearts, the king of Zhennan must focus on interfering in the government from now on, and the king of Zhennan has made it clear!
After sacrificing to the Taimiao, Cheng Yue still couldn't go back to the palace, and accompanied Kublai Khan back to the palace to play mahjong for a while, before taking back his wife and concubine and returning home. But his duties were not completely relieved, and until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, important matters in the palace had to be controlled by him.
As soon as he entered the house, Cheng Yue did not rest, but ordered the Sanqi Bureau to go to the front house to invite the three families of Hengren, Jiuren and Weikang, as well as the three daughters of Ryoko and Lanxi Daolong to come to the inner house together, and all the Japanese generals and palace maids were accompanied to dispel their homesickness.
The Sanqi Bureau was overjoyed, hugged Cheng Yue and kissed him twice, and hurriedly went to call someone over. These people named by Cheng Yue were all arranged by Cheng Yue to live near Zuo, and as soon as they were summoned by Cheng Yue, they immediately rushed to the palace happily.
When all the Japanese arrived, the food and drinks were ready, and the inner hall was bustling with joy and excitement.
Cheng Yue changed into light clothes and took Wan Ze and the five ladies to the inner hall. As soon as they entered the door, many Japanese descendants bowed down to Cheng Yue and Wan Ze as if they were in Japan. The king of Zhennan remembered their benevolence vividly, and everyone was grateful.
Cheng Yue smiled and said, "Everyone, why do you need to be so?" ”
Hengren said gratefully: "If we don't have the protection of the prince, I don't know how many people will be humiliated, and now we can stride forward in the capital, which is the kindness of the prince." ”
Hengren is right, since ancient times, the generals of the defeated army have not been able to see the Jiangdong fathers, let alone the monarchs of the dead country? It's a fluke to be able to escape with a life, and when you get to the territory of the winner, you have to be a man with your tail between your legs, otherwise any little guy can humiliate him.
Hengren and the others are also prepared for this, since they are reluctant to make a living, they always have to pay some price. Cheng Yue knew this, in order to take care of them, he specially ordered them to live in the palace, under the protection of his wings, no one dared to run here to spread wild, so Hengren and others were doubly grateful to Cheng Yue.
As for the Japanese army's subordinates, they were even more grateful to Cheng Yue. The Mongols fought two eastward crusades to defeat Japan, especially the first time, the Yuan army and the Goryeo army suffered heavy losses, and Hojo Tokimune beheaded the envoys sent by Kublai Khan, it can be said that the Mongols hated the Japanese very much, especially the Kamakura shogunate's subordinates were especially not good, if it were not for Cheng Yue's military orders, and repeated orders, and even did not hesitate to seek justice for the Japanese ministers, and severely punish the Mongolian soldiers who deliberately provoked, where could the Japanese ministers live a human life in the army?
However, the process is more and more clear, and the Japanese army's ministers cannot generalize.
Japan's vassals said that it was not very difficult for them to change their masters, and their positions were not damaged. What's more, he is really fair to them, and all the food, clothing, and shelter are like a step up to the sky compared to what they used to be.
However, Kang's mother and son were oppressed in Kamakura, and Cheng Yue took good care of them, and he would not have any hatred for him, but should repay the favor.
As for the three women of Ryoko, Cheng Yue is more sure. Although the Hojo clan died at his hands, the Hojo family has no male and there is no hope for the regain clan, and the only way to survive is to serve him faithfully.
Only Hengren and Jiuren, Cheng Yue didn't think that they would sincerely take refuge in him anytime soon. After all, they used to be royalty, and even if they didn't have much power, their status was still very respectable. Now attached to his wings, not to mention on the surface, the loss in his heart can always be imagined. The grievances between them still need to be resolved slowly, or they will never be resolved!
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "It's just a matter of raising my hands, I don't like bullying people the most, no matter who he is." Today's Chinese New Year, please sit down, let's celebrate together. ”
Everyone sat down, Cheng Yue raised his glass and said: "Where the body and mind are, the other country is the hometown, come, cheers!" The crowd applauded and drank the cup together.
Hengren put down his wine glass, looked around, and saw that his eldest brother Kuhito's family, who had once intrigued with him, the widow and military commander of the Kamakura shogunate who had oppressed him, as well as the mother and son of the general of Seiyi and hundreds of Japanese palace maids actually gathered together thousands of miles away from Japan to celebrate the New Year, and suddenly felt a sense of separation. I couldn't help but sigh, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and I couldn't tell what it was like.
Jiuren actually felt the same way, seeing the gloomy expression on Hengren's face, he smiled faintly, raised his glass and said, "Hengren, let's have a drink." ”
Hengren was stunned for a moment, and then raised his glass and said, "Brother, please." The two of them drank it all with a little bitterness, and Jizi and Suzi hurriedly filled it with wine again.
Cheng Yue said with a smile: "If you have wine, you can't sing and dance, which lady is willing to show her talents?" Before the words fell, several Japanese palace maids walked in with musical instruments and sat behind Cheng Yue and Wan Ze.
Cheng Yue spoke, everyone scrambled to be the first, and before the Sanqi Bureau could speak, Zaizi was the first to stand up and saluted: "The concubine is willing to serve the prince." ”
Cheng Yue smiled slightly and said, "There is Mrs. Lao." ”
Zaiko immediately got off the stage, took a deep breath, glanced at Sanuki Bureau, and slowly sang and danced to the music unique to Japan.
Zaizi was born in a family of nobles for generations, and his demeanor has a noble atmosphere. Sanki Bureau was born in a merchant family, although he received the strictest education since he was a child, and he was also favored after marrying into the Hojo family, but compared to a nobleman like Zaiko, Sanki Bureau always has a sense of small jasper, which is not as calm as Zaiko and others.
In order to serve her husband and entertain relatives and friends, the women of the Japanese aristocracy have done a lot of hard work on singing and dancing. In every gesture, he is elegant and bright, and his beautiful figure is undoubtedly revealed, although it is slightly inferior to Sanqi Bureau, but it is also very amazing.
