Liu Ze's eyes fell on the pair of bamboo cages in the corner of the wall, which was obviously a pair of living creatures, Liu Ze walked closer, it turned out to be a pair of big birds, bright feathers, dazzling, take a closer look, dizzy, isn't this a green peacock?

Pan Feng introduced: "This is a congratulatory gift from the Southwest Branch, I heard that it is produced in Nanzhong, the meat is delicious, and it is a rare game." ”

When Zhang Fei, a foodie, heard this, he was very excited, and he drooped down, and said: "These two birds are more than pheasants, they must be better than pheasants, big brother, how about stewing these two birds tonight and trying them?" ”

Liu Ze's brain was flushed with a black line, dizzy, this is a national first-class protected animal, an endangered rare species, but in this era, there is no awareness of protecting animals, and anyone who flies in the sky and runs on the ground can have a full stomach, so it doesn't matter if it is a rare animal. "You're really a foodie, you know how to eat, this is not an ordinary bird, it's called a peacock, do you know that the peacock is open?"

Zhang Fei's head shook like a drum, and Liu Ze had to patiently explain to him what it meant to open the peacock and raise peacocks for viewing rather than eating. After talking for a long time, Zhang Fei still didn't understand, and said: "How do I look at it, it's not too much like a pheasant, big brother, you said that you raised a peacock to see what kind of peacock is open, I don't think it's necessary, isn't it just a few broken feathers, what's so good-looking, it's better to eat it!" ”

Liu Ze no longer paid attention to him, and ordered his subordinates to raise and take care of him, although there was no animal protection law in this era, but as a modern person, he really wanted him to eat this rare animal alive, and he couldn't put his mouth down with some guilt.

In the blink of an eye, it was Chinese New Year's Eve. Due to Liu Ze's return, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner of Huitong World Money House is extraordinarily rich, and the dinner is also extraordinarily lively. No one can drink too much. No one wants to toast to Zhang Fei. Only Zhou Cang dared to fight with him in the field, so Zhang Fei pulled Zhou Cang and didn't let go, regardless of whether others were injured or not, he went on bowl by bowl. Eventually, both of them climbed to the bottom of the table.

It's not just about connecting the world. The entire city of Luoyang is immersed in the joy of the New Year. It was the first New Year after the chaos had subsided, and the lights were lit up, the drums were beating, and the joy was on everyone's faces. People congratulate each other on the New Year, celebrate the aftermath of the catastrophe, and look forward to a peaceful and prosperous world.

Early in the morning of the first day of the first lunar month, Liu Ze got up early, Jian Yong had already prepared spring cakes and other gifts for him, according to the original plan, Liu Ze got Lu Zhi's mansion today to pay New Year's greetings to the teacher. The custom of New Year's greeting has been handed down since ancient times in the pre-Qin period, and the Han Dynasty was regarded as a state of etiquette and righteousness, and this New Year's custom has become more and more grand. Many scholars and doctors have a wide range of contacts, although they cannot come to the door to pay New Year's greetings, they will also send people to hand over the name of the recipient, on which the name of the congratulatory person and congratulatory words are written, and the New Year's greetings are made, which is called Feiti. Of course, this flying post is cast to ordinary friends, if it is relatives and friends, especially teachers and elders, then you must go to the door to pay New Year's greetings to show respect.

Liu Ze hadn't gone out yet, and the housekeeper stepped forward to report: "My lord, there are two adults outside the door asking to see you." Liu Ze was a little puzzled, who would come to his house so early on the first day of the Lunar New Year?

The housekeeper handed over the greeting post, Liu Ze saw that it was Youzhou Thorn History, Rongqiu Marquis Liu Yu, he couldn't help but be taken aback, Liu Yu was a lot higher than him in terms of official position, and he was Liu Ze's uncle in terms of seniority, I only heard that the lower officials had New Year's greetings to Shangguan, and the younger generations had New Year's greetings to their elders, but I hadn't heard that there were people who worshipped upside down, which was against the etiquette law.

Liu Ze was not dressed neatly, and he couldn't let Liu Yu wait outside the door for a long time, so he ordered the housekeeper to welcome Liu Yu to the middle hall first, and he quickly changed into his official uniform. Usually, Liu Ze dresses casually and comfortably, but today there are many distinguished guests, and he must not lose his courtesy. Although the cavalry lieutenant is a military attaché, he does not need to wear military uniforms in the capital at this time, and naturally wears ordinary official uniforms, wide robes with large sleeves, and a chicken-hearted open collar, revealing the snow-white underwear inside, and the hem of the robe, with a row of dense pleats, cut into a crescent curved shape.

After the Tang Dynasty, especially in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the color of the official uniform will be different according to the level of the official, in the Han Dynasty, whether it is the three princes of Wanshi or the petty officials of thousands of stones, they all wear black clothes, and the placket is also tied from left to right. Tied from right to left, it was the pattern of the barbarian's clothing, and it was sent to the left. The only thing that distinguishes the rank of an official is the crown on his head and the ribbon around his waist.

Liu Ze put on his official uniform and brought a martial crown with two tails. In ancient times, people called the ornaments tied to the head "head clothes", mainly: crown, crown, ben, 帻 four kinds, of which "crown" is a hat specially worn by the ancient people, in the Han Dynasty, there are many types of crowns, and the crown hat can distinguish a person's, official position, identity and rank, or pass guò different crowns and hats to express the etiquette and rituals of different occasions. The main crowns and hats of the Han Dynasty are: crown, Tongtian crown, long crown, Jinxian crown, martial crown and law crown, etc. There are strict rules on the crowns and hats worn by different identities and different occasions, and the emperor must wear a crown when participating in the sacrificial ceremony; At court meetings and banquets, the emperor generally wears a crown of heaven; The long crown is a crown hat worn by officials when participating in sacrifices. The military crown is the ceremonial crown worn by military personnel at all levels during the court meeting; The crown was worn exclusively by civil officials and Confucian scholars.

As soon as he entered the middle hall, Liu Ze made a confession: "Today was supposed to be the little nephew going to his uncle's house to greet the New Year, but he bothered his uncle to come to the cold house, how can this make the little nephew afford it?" ”

Liu Yu laughed and said: "The virtuous nephew is the first hero of my Han Dynasty, what can't he afford?" Today, Junlang and I are here to say good news to you. ”

"I don't know what my uncle said? Who is this? Liu Ze had already noticed the other guest who came with Liu Yu, Eguan Bo belt, luxurious clothes, obviously his status was not below Liu Yu.

Liu Yu said: "Oh, I forgot to introduce it to my nephew, this is Taichangqing Liu Yan Liu Junlang, after King Han Lu Gong, after the same Gaozu Miao imperial family, you might as well get closer and closer." ”

Liu Yan smiled and said: "Runde's name is broadcast in the sea, and the sound shocks Kyushu, and it is really an honor to meet today." ”

Unexpectedly, he turned out to be Liu Yan, the famous first governor of Yizhou, who had been in Xichuan for decades, and Liu Ze was really a little surprised. Don't look at his smile, Liu Ze can be very clear in his heart, this Liu Yan is very ambitious, that is, he proposed to abolish the history of assassination and establish a state pastor, and decentralize the power of the central government to the localities, thus contributing to the political situation of the late Han Dynasty. Liu Yan heard that Yizhou had a son of heaven, and took the initiative to seek to serve as the state pastor of Yizhou, but unfortunately he was not destined to return, and died in Yizhou within a few years, and the youngest son Liu Zhang, who inherited his position, was even weaker and incompetent, and gave a large piece of foundation to Liu Bei for nothing, and also achieved the legend that Yizhou has a son of heaven.

Compared with Liu Zhang, who is not enough to keep it, Liu Yan's ability as a first-generation entrepreneur is beyond doubt, although Yizhou is a corner of peace, but it is also a land of right and wrong, the world is strong and intertwined, and the barbarians rebelled, after Liu Yan entered Yizhou, he gave both grace and power, supported the Dongzhou forces, suppressed the local heroes, quelled the rebellions in various places, firmly grasped the military and political power of Yizhou in his hands, and refused to pay tribute to the court on the grounds of Zhang Lu's secession of Hanzhong, and strictly established himself as the king of Xichuan. As the first generation of separatist forces in the late Han Dynasty, Liu Yan stood firm on the southwest border when other princes were cut off by Cao Sun Liu until 214 AD when Liu Zhang surrendered to Liu Bei, and his reign was also one of the best among the major princes.

Liu Ze replied: "Liu is too often polite, Ze is a scholar, and he will learn at the end of his life, how dare he be arrogant." Uncle, Liu Taichang, please take a seat. ”

The three of them sat down separately, and their own servants served tea. Liu Zezhong did not put the Taishi chair he often sat on in the hall, after all, this is the place where the guests will be gathered, and now the chair is inevitably a little shocking, those few cases are all made of fine mahogany, and the underground is not made of mats, but the best Persian wool carpet is used, showing grace and luxury everywhere.

Liu Yu took a sip of tea and praised: "I haven't seen this superb Mengding tea for a long time, I can't imagine that I can taste such an authentic and superb Mengding in the Xian Nephew's Mansion, good tea!" Good tea! "Since the chaos in the world, the goods in various places are not passable, and the famous tea above the top grade has long disappeared on the market, even if it is a daughter, it is difficult to find, Liu Ze's superb Mengding tea is still a congratulatory gift sent by the Jinyingwei Southwest Branch this time, no wonder Liu Yu will be amazed.

Liu Ze said: "If my uncle likes it, my little nephew will send someone to the house later." ”

Liu Yu laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's not necessary, Brother Junlang went to Yizhou this time, brother, it's still easy for me to beg for tea, isn't it, Brother Junlang?" ”

Liu Yan said with a smile: "Since Brother Bo'an is so good, it seems that the first priority after taking office is to prepare the best for Brother Bo'an, Brother Bo'an, don't worry, with my day in Yizhou, Brother Bo'an's good tea is naturally indispensable." ”

Liu Yu smiled: "Thank you, Brother Junlang." ”

The two sang and harmonized, but Liu Ze was confused, this Liu Yan wrote a book to abolish the thorn and change the pastor to serve as Yizhou, it was a matter of five years in Zhongping, and now he has just entered Zhongping for three years, and there is a difference of two years in time.

Liu Yu was a little surprised when he saw Liu Ze, and said, "I'm afraid that the virtuous nephew still doesn't know about Brother Junlang's sparseness, right?" A few days ago, Brother Junlang wrote to the emperor, and the rebellion under Fang today has a tendency to intensify, but the power of the court is not enough to suppress it, and the state assassin history is light and weak, the prestige is insufficient, and many non-people are used, I am afraid it is difficult to bear the heavy task of quelling the rebellion. The emperor has allowed him to play, and Brother Junlang is the first Yizhou governor appointed by the emperor. (To be continued......)
