According to research, in 1785, there were 3,000 people over the age of 65 under the fourth grade of the Qing government. And the adult received the data and shook his head: No, it's too little. The current policy is changed: all current and former members below the fourth grade in Beijing can be seated in the table if they are over 60 years old.

As soon as the decree was issued, the number of people instantly skyrocketed to more than 3,900.

He nodded with satisfaction: Make do!

Once the person is found, the next thing to do is to report it. He ran into the palace happily, he wanted to present a gift to Lord Qianlong.

"A Thousand Banquets?!" Lord Qianlong's brows furrowed: Rub, why didn't I think of it?!

"Now that the four seas are peaceful, the world is rich, and it coincides with the 50th anniversary of the emperor's accession to the throne, this celebration is none other than a thousand banquets!"

"It's too hard to move the crowd, right?!" Saying that, Qianlong Ye laughed: You are still flexible!

"Your Majesty, this is the only way to show your imperial grace! What's more, since ancient times, people have always said that they respect the elderly, but there are not many people who can practice it. Now long live the demonstration of the Lord himself, which can be a watch for future generations! ”

"Well, that makes sense! I said Heshen, why do any words sound so good in your mouth?! ”

"That's a must!" Don't look at who you are?! Do I dare to say something unpleasant?!

"In that case, then do as you say! Remember, don't be too grand, low-key, be low-key......."

I smiled with adults: "I must ...... it"

As soon as he left the palace with adults, he set up a 'Qiansu Army' to control the Qiansuo banquet! At that time, chickens, ducks, dogs, melons, fruits, pears and peaches were transported to the palace in cars, and the husband alone found more than 300 people, and the stove was directly set up on the side of the canal. All kinds of palace maids, music girls, choirs, groups, dance troupes, day and night rehearsals, the Forbidden City is noisy.

After a month, the exciting time has finally arrived.

Before dawn, the old people who had served as officials below the fourth grade in Manjing left their homes one after another. With special invitations in their hands and uniforms in their uniforms, they walked towards the Forbidden City with a steady pace. Along the way, I met some old friends and colleagues from time to time, and the past was vivid, and the faces of the old people were full of happy smiles.

The old people walked into the Forbidden City under the leadership of the guards and headed towards the Qianqing Palace. The splendid palace, the majestic guards, and the crowds of eunuchs couldn't help but dazzle and dumb them for a while.

At this time, the imperial dining room was also very busy, all kinds of melons, fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks and fish had already been prepared, and hundreds of tables were laid out in the Qianqing Palace Square. The small workers and chefs perform their duties, and all kinds of delicacies have already been prepared, just waiting for Qianlong Ye to arrive, and immediately start the banquet!

Qianlong got up very early today, he first went to worship the Taimiao, and then went to Zhongcui Palace to offer incense to the Queen Mother, and then came to the Qianqing Palace. When they arrived at the Qianqing Palace, thousands of old people were already in place. He looked at the crowd in the square, and the joy in his heart was beyond words.

"The emperor has arrived!" Wang Lian pulled his neck and shouted.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" As soon as the words fell, thousands of old people knelt down tremblingly and kowtowed in unison.

"Everyone, love Qing Ping!" At that moment, he went back to fifty years ago!

"Emperor Xie!"

"Since I ascended the throne, I have been conscientious, diligent and simple, and I dare not slack off in the slightest, for fear that I will not be able to see the ancestors and ancestors under the Nine Springs again. Today, it is the 50th year since I ascended the throne, and thanks to the assistance of all my ministers and the people of the world, I have today's Qing Dynasty. Here, on behalf of the Qing government, please allow me to express my heartfelt thanks and heartfelt condolences to you! Comrades, great work! With that, pick up the glass and drink it all!

"Serve the people!" Everyone replied in unison, the sound shook all over the world, and the old man looked up, and saw the bottom at a glance: rub, good wine!

"Good! Open! ”

The old people sat down one after another, picked up the chopsticks and spoons in their hands, and ate and drank. Lord Qianlong was very happy, waved his hand, and called Lord He over.

"Have the princes arrived?!" There are too many people, and Lord Qianlong really can't find his sons.

"Look, it's all there!" He hurriedly walked over to him and pointed, "Next to him are the civil and military ministers." ”

"Wang Lian, go and call all the princes!" Lord Qianlong greeted Wang Liandao.

The five princes walked up to Qianlong together and knelt down to say goodbye.

"Yongli, your starling has a leg disease, and it is inconvenient to walk, so you and a few brothers will give a bar to the old people who came to the banquet! Whether you know it or not, since people are here, you must toast respectfully, and don't put anything on the shelf in front of these old people. They are old, and it is not easy for them to come to the palace. Lord Qianlong said to the eleventh prince Yongli.

"Yongxuan, you just sit next to me and drink with me!" Qianlong Ye looked at the eighth son of the emperor Yongxuan again and said.

"Yes!" Several princes replied.

Yongli, Yongjin, Yongyan and Yonglin toasted, and the old people were very excited to see a few elder brothers come to toast in person. You know, one of these princes will inherit the throne in the future. What a great honor it must be to be able to drink with the future emperor! So as long as they come to toast, they will not shirk and will drink it all.

As they drank, everyone gradually became drunk, and the atmosphere of the banquet became more lively.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 3,900 people coming to this banquet, and the oldest of them is 141 years old!" and the Lord said behind Lord Qianlong.

"Oh?! 141 years old?! Qianlong Ye was a little surprised when he heard this.

"Not only that, but it's rare that this old man's body is still very tough!"

"Where's this old man?!"

"The front row, the one at the head." and the adults were busy pointing.

Qianlong Ye looked in the direction of Lord He's finger, and saw an old man with gray hair and strong spirits, not at all like 141 years old. Qianlong Ye stood up: "I heard that a 141-year-old man came to his house today, and it is rare that he is not only in good health, but also in better spirit. I see it in my eyes and I am happy in my heart. I just thought of a pair, but I only thought of the upper link, and I plan to ask you to pair the lower link. My uplink is 'the reopening of the sixtieth century, plus thirty-seven years'. Don't look at the simplicity of this link, there is a mystery hidden in it. The two Jiazi are 120 years old, plus 3721 years, they are just 141 years old. I asked that the numbers in this couplet be added together to give 141. If anyone is right, I will not hesitate to reward him! ”

As soon as the upper link came out, everyone frowned and thought about it. But after a long time, no one was able to make a connection.

"What?! Doesn't anyone match it?! ”

The minister thought of a sentence. A person suddenly stood up and frowned with the adult: Ji Xiaolan?!

"Okay, tell me about it."

"Ancient and rare double celebrations, one more spring and autumn in it."

"Well, Gu Xi Shuangqing is the sum of two seventy, that is, one hundred and four, plus one one, it is exactly 141. That's right, that's great! Give me a long face! Come on, reward! ”

"Emperor Xie!"

"As I expected, there must be a lot of Confucian people here, and now they are half-drunk, you may as well chant poems and couplets in public, and express your hearts directly!" Lord Qianlong said with great interest.

As a result, thousands of people present began to compete with each other to chant poems, and the content was naturally related to the 'Thousand Suo Banquet' and 'Qianlong's Prosperous Age'. Lord Qianlong was overjoyed by these thousands of old people, and immediately made the poem "Thousand Suo Banquet" to show that his heart was stirred:

There is no need to be more elegant,

But the facts will be recorded for the elderly.

In remembrance of His Majesty's dying day,

I was surprised to give the year in his hand.

The Nine Folds of the Prince's Remuneration,

Heavenly grace National Day Wan Chun Yan.

Ancestors and grandchildren feast on a thousand people,

Shi Ce spared him and did not stand side by side.

Nowadays, the literati are also full of praise for this Qiansuo banquet, calling it "Enlong courtesy, which is an unprecedented move in the ages." ”

When Lord Qianlong heard the news, he was overjoyed: Heshen, this kid, did a beautiful job!
