Chapter 25: The Beginning of the First Year of Yongzhen
In the first game, the women's football team scored two goals and conceded one goal, the men's football team conceded one goal and scored one goal, in the second game, the women's football team conceded one goal and scored one goal, and the men's football team conceded one goal and then conceded another goal, and the men's football team ······ Forget it, I still don't want to. )
Living in a modern industrial society, the popularization of television has destroyed traditional culture and local characteristics, and every year the people across the country watch the "Spring Festival Gala", Li Yu has long been unaware of how the traditional year is spent, and complains to his wife, and his wife will laugh at him for not understanding current affairs and not keeping up with the trend. After his first year in ancient times, Li Yu wanted to say:
Very good.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Li Chan is keeping the New Year with Empress Wang and Princess Youning. The officials were already in a state of semi-holiday on the 23rd of the lunar month, and the official holiday on the 27th of the lunar month was officially closed, and they would not return to work until the seventh day of the first lunar month, that is, the day of the human day, and Li Chan did not get a rest until Chinese New Year's Eve, so he also stole half a day of leisure, and slept secretly on the afternoon of Chinese New Year's Eve.
When I got up, it was already dark, the weather in the palace was already new, and there was joy everywhere, Li Yu just woke up and didn't turn around for a while, and he thought that he had rushed into which crew. The hall was even brighter, looking at a group of royal children in yellow, purple, and red, Li Yu reacted, these people are his brothers and grandchildren, and the royal family wants a family banquet tonight.
Soon, Li Yu sat on the upper seat in a daze, the members of the royal family sat down in turn according to their generation and age, the golden and brilliant hall was full of gorgeous clothes, elegant talk and laughter, elegant sounds, and the team of singers smiled and smiled, graceful and graceful, with a smile and a smile, everything was like a dream.
Zhuang Sheng dreams of butterflies. Johnson is a butterfly? Butterflies for Zhuang Shengye?
Li Yu didn't know that Xu was sleeping too deeply, and he felt that his expression was very unnatural and calm, and his words were also like echoes in the cave, loud and unrealistic. In short, when others raise their glasses, he raises their glasses, and when others laugh, he smiles. Fortunately, such a family banquet did not pay attention to the form, and soon the royal family was engaged in singing and dancing performances. But many people went back to talk about the emperor's countenance.
It was all like a beautiful dream, if it weren't for Youning pestering him, Li Yu would almost fall asleep again in the dream.
Overall, Li Yu is still very satisfied with his current life, judging from the current situation, he has firmly controlled the inside of the imperial court, if Gao Chongwen is more active, at most two months, Liu Bi will be exterminated, and he will be killed as a chicken to show the monkey. After this chicken is killed, there should be a few years of peaceful life. Financially, short-term capital flows also brought a lot of tax revenue to the imperial court. Chang'an has accumulated one-third of the country's wealth, and the benefits that will be produced by the flow of this wealth are extremely amazing. For example, officials throughout the court now know that copper is not enough (silver did not begin to be the main currency in circulation until the Ming Dynasty, and before that it was mainly copper coins).
However, New Year's Day is not a day to discuss government affairs, so at the banquet of the ministers of the Yanying Hall on the afternoon of New Year's Day, no one was worried about this issue, in short, everyone was a group of people with a smile and a smile. Everyone can feel that the situation in the imperial court is improving, and the rewards of the imperial court during the Chinese New Year this year are two points more than in previous years.
Today's feast is similar to the Spring Festival group meeting in later generations, the meal is just a formality, and the harmonious relationship between the monarch and the minister is the goal. The banquet began with a speech by Prince Li Chun, expressing his gratitude to all the ministers for their dedication to Datang in the past year, and hoping to continue to maintain such a spiritual outlook in the new year and write a new chapter in the history of Datang. Then Prime Minister Du Huangshang delivered a speech, expressing his gratitude to His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for their hospitality, and on behalf of the ministers, he expressed his duty to be loyal to the Emperor and the Tang Dynasty, and will continue to unite around His Majesty the Emperor in the new year and strive for the glory of the Tang Dynasty. Finally, it is proposed that all the ministers stand up for the emperor's birthday (wish the emperor a long life).
Next is the crown prince toasting on behalf of the emperor, and then the Wenchen poems, the military generals dancing swords, and the song and dance performances, which are really happy.
However, after the banquet, when none of the other ministers went to the palace drunk with the condolences of two silk horses, the four prime ministers and the various ministers, as well as senior generals such as Fan Xichao and Li Yuan, stayed behind and discussed the battle in Xichuan.
The Xichuan War is one of the major affairs of the imperial court, and the official documents of Xichuan are required to be delivered to the emperor as soon as possible. On the eve of New Year's Day, senior officials from all over the country and even in various towns of Weibo in Hebei Province presented New Year watch seals, and these watches were naturally handled by Hanlin scholars, and only Gao Chongwen's thanksgiving and New Year watch seals were sent to the palace on Chinese New Year's Eve. Gao Chongwen expressed his gratitude to the mighty emperor in the seal, and said that he would go to Xichuan on the seventh day of the first lunar month, that is, after the human day, and strive to solve Xichuan within a month. At the same time, because Liu Pi gathered more than 50,000 men and horses near Chengdu, he asked the imperial court to send reinforcements into Sichuan, and the reinforcements Gao Chongwen asked for Ah Ku Guangyan, who had just quelled the Xia Sui rebellion.
Now that Gao Chongwen has expressed his intention to start construction, everyone is relieved. As for the matter of sending Ah Chuan Guangyan into Sichuan, everyone has no reason to oppose it, first, they can have the strength of the front line, they can monitor Gao Chongwen, and third, they can let the recruits train - Li Yu plans to send 3,000 people from the First Brigade of the Left Guards Army to Ah Kuo Guangyan to test the results of the training in the past three months.
So Ah Chu Guangyan got the gossip on the second day of the first month, asking him to prepare for the expedition, and on the seventh day of the first month, he officially got the edict, giving him the title of imperial historian, and set off on the expedition five days later. After the rebellion was quelled in the last year, Ah Fallan was given the title of doctor of Yin Qingguanglu, and now Ah Fall's Guangyan has also been increased in the rank of doctor, and for a while, the name of the brother and son, the big doctor, and the little doctor have spread far and wide in the army.
On the eighth day of the first month of the first month, the doors of the various government offices resumed the hustle and bustle of the past, and the first working day after the new year officially began. Li Yu also summoned Ah Ku Guangyan in the Zichen Palace. The ancients believed in the induction of heaven and man, and the seventh day after the year was the human day. According to the Book of Occupation of the Han Dynasty, the first day of the first month is a chicken, the second day is a dog, the third day is a pig, the fourth day is a sheep, the fifth day is a cow, the sixth day is a horse, the seventh day is a person, and the eighth day is a grain. After the Han and Wei dynasties, Renri gradually developed from a single divination activity to a festival that included celebrations, sacrifices and other activities. As soon as the day is over, people can start moving.
On this day, Gao Chongwen and Yan Li divided into two routes and marched into Xichuan.
