The first day of the first month of the ninth year of Baoda (951 AD), the first day of the first month.

Hearing the leaking sound of the hour, Lin Feng, who was almost sleepless all night, tenderly persuaded the naked and obsessed Zhou Ehuang, and walked out of the Zhou Mansion in three steps and one turn.

The early morning of the cold winter was unusually cold, especially for Lin Feng, who had just rushed back from the warm Lingnan, it was even more cold, but Lin Feng, who was full of physical and mental pleasure, seemed to be unconscious, and walked quickly towards his home in the faint morning light.

Far away, Lin Feng found a different place in the door of his yard, in addition to the red lantern and peach charm at the head of the house, two chairs were placed at the door, one left and one right, and the two small figures were hugging a thick quilt and curled up in the chair, it was Yaya and Ling Feifei, especially Yaya, little by little, she was already in a half-dreaming state.

Lin Feng's heart suddenly became so painful, and he shouted loudly: "Yaya! Fly! The body quickly rushed over, picked the girl up from the chair, kissed her on the face fiercely, looked back and picked up Feifei with the quilt, and put his head against the heads of the two little guys.

"Big brother, you're finally back! Feifei and I waited for you at the door for a day and a night, and we wanted to be the first to see you! The startled girl cried and screamed, tears streaming out of her eyes flowed down her little face, and her hands hugged Lin Feng's neck tightly.

"Yaya, Feifei, big brother can't stand you, big brother has something to delay!" Lin Feng couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and apologized in a low voice.

"Brother Lin! You're back?! Two delicate voices with cries sounded, Xiao Fei'er and Duan Feihong were at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Lin Feng with tears in their eyes.

"Well, it's back! I want to kill you! Lin Feng was also in a mood, stretched out his hand, and hugged the two beauties tightly.

At this time, a large group of people poured out of the door, Lu Jiang, Shu Ya, Wu Qiao, Lin Renzhao, Chen Desheng and a group of newly selected masters, Nie Xiaoying, Yuwen Sisters and Chen Fei, and a group of subordinates all poured out, shouting excitedly: "Lord Lin!" You're back! ”

"Happy New Year, everyone!" Lin Feng let go of the beauties in his arms, said loudly, hugged his family members who had not been seen for a long time one by one, and then pointed to Xiao Fei'er, and first announced a good news: "Today is the day of the Yuanzheng Day, and there will be a new year in the New Year!" Fei'er, all the staff, adults and children present, immediately sent five yuan per person as New Year's money; In addition, the New Year's gifts I prepared for everyone have already been brought back by my brothers, and they will be distributed one by one in a while! ”

"Xie Lu Xie Lin!" Everyone couldn't help but smile and shout loudly.

Lin Feng turned to Lu Jiang and asked with a smile, "You know about the affairs of the Chu State from General Lin and General Chen, right?" ”

Lu Jiang and the three of them looked at Lin Feng one by one, bowed deeply, and replied loudly: "Congratulations to Lord Lin, congratulations to Lord Lin!" Lord Lin's great achievements really make me admire them so much! ”

Lin Feng smiled and said with a big grin: "The happy event is still to come!" Let's talk about it later. Now, let's have breakfast, I'll be at home for the next few days. ”

When the crowd heard this, they immediately dispersed and prepared breakfast.

Lin Feng stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Fei'er and Duan Feihong's cold little hands, and asked softly about the things at home, but the two of them were still staring at Lin Feng with tears in their eyes, and they pressed their bodies tightly against his body, without saying a word.

"Fei'er, Feihong, you have worked hard!" Lin Feng had nothing to say at this moment, he could only keep saying that they worked hard!

"Brother Lin, we don't work hard, we are hard! For more than three months, you didn't have a word of message, and we were all worried about dying, and we had nightmares at night! Feihong cried a few times at night! Fei'er buried her head in Lin Feng's chest and muttered.

"Ha Luha, what about you?" Lin Feng looked at Duan Feihong lovingly, and turned his head to laugh at Xiao Fei'er.

"Brother Lin, you should ask, Sister Fei'er doesn't cry for a few nights!" Duan Feihong said with a smile.

"Ha Luha, I'll be with you for the next few days!" Lin Feng laughed.

"Brother Lin, you have been saying that you have been saying these days, do you still want to go out?" Xiao Fei'er suddenly interjected and asked.

This ghost girl, so careful? Lin Feng was startled, hurriedly went over, and took the two of them over to set the table and prepare for breakfast.

Just when Lin Feng's family was having breakfast together, the grand court meeting and big furnishings in Jinling Palace City officially kicked off.

During the Chinese New Year, according to the custom, officials of all sizes in the court and the central government will have a seven-day holiday, but for the emperor, there is no such treatment. In the day and night from the year to the Yuan Zheng, often when an emperor is the busiest, he gathers and drinks with nobles and important ministers, and holds a big court meeting and a big furnishing is the most important content.

After sending Lin Feng away last night, Li Jing, Li Jingsui, and Li Yu briefly discussed and decided not to disclose the major event of the surrender of Chu for the time being, and waited for Ma Guanghui to lead the Ma family to arrive. The excited three bigwigs left the imperial study and returned to the very lively Huichun Palace, drinking with the important ministers and kings of the court who "entered the cabinet and guarded the New Year".

In the process of pushing the cup and changing the lamp, Li Jing and Li Jing were in high spirits, connected to raise a glass, and took the initiative to invite wine, which made a group of ministers and clans a little surprised, isn't it the New Year? This saint and the king of Qi are happy to be like this?

When it came to the grand court meeting and furnishings of Yuan Zhengri, this feeling of the important ministers was even more obvious.

"The Yuan Day is fighting for the dynasty, and the flow is like a meeting. Road dust and mist, ride the fire and catch the low star. The door rings the Pisces key, and the car is noisy. The crown is a green hall, and the halberd is full of Tongting. The accumulation of years is compiled, and the spring is the provincial punishment. Senior official Chen Yuyu, Si Li Xian Yaobei. Shoujiu retreated three times, and Xiao Shaojiu stopped. The sun opens up the image, the glow and the creatures. ”

This is the poetic description of the scene of the Great Dynasty meeting by Sikong Shu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty who participated in the early Yuan Dynasty. For the Southern Tang Dynasty, which has always claimed to continue the orthodoxy of the former Tang Dynasty, all kinds of etiquette are naturally copied as they are - early in the morning, the Liangyi Hall has all displayed the ritual vessels that symbolize the highest level of the country, such as the "Baoyu and Yulu of the past dynasties" and the "music of the palace and county".

However, what is not in harmony with this unusually solemn and solemn is that Li Jing, who is sitting on the dragon throne wearing a crown with twelve strings of white beads on his head, has been laughing, and from time to time he will be happy, which makes the several important ministers in the front row even more strange, what kind of happy event can make the saint so happy, there is no big joy in the near future?!

As the celebrant sang the promise, the pilgrimage began:

King Qi dressed in black dresses, Situ, Sikong and other three dukes, Li Jingqian, Li Yu's clan representatives and other important ministers came forward to congratulate one after another; The privy envoy Feng Yansi walked out of the train and read aloud the congratulatory sheets of the Southern Tang states; Then, Li Rui, the waiter of the Yellow Gate, stepped forward to report on the auspicious situation in various places; The list of tribute items in the states was played by the Hubu Shangshu Tao Qian; In short, the Ministry of Rites will play the tribute of the surrounding countries; Taishi Bureau Taishi Lingfang Lingji reported on auspicious celestial phenomena. At the end of the day, the middle and senior officials of the two provinces of Zhongshu and Menxia stepped forward to congratulate Li Jing, and for a time the sound of "long live" filled the entire Liangyi Palace.

After the pilgrimage reached its peak, the annual amnesty began. Amnesty was originally a system in ancient feudal times that pardoned all criminals within a certain range of criminals. An amnesty not only exempts the execution of the penalty, but also extinguishes the offence.

As soon as the amnesty was read, many of the courtiers below suddenly felt different: all capital crimes were commuted to exile; All exiles were commuted to three years' imprisonment; Those who have been sentenced to less than one year will be released; Those whose circumstances are not serious and have not yet been reviewed are to be released.

Just when the officials in the audience were secretly speculating about why the scope of this year's amnesty was much larger than in previous years, Li Jing, who had announced the official end of the court meeting, stood up and recited aloud:

"Gao Xuan is ambiguous in spring, and the pavilion is beautiful in the morning light. Tongting is flying colorful, and the green is bright.

Respect yourself to the four poles, hang your clothes and control the eight wildernesses. Frost Halberd Liedan Majesty, silk and bamboo rhyme corridor.

Mu Yin smoked the wind and flourished, and the Kangzai Emperor Daochang. Following the text and following the track, follow the ancient Jian's former king.

The grass is beautiful and spring, and Mei Yan has makeup in the past. Juchuan wants to help, and finally sends the boat to sail. ”

"This is a poem written by Yuan Zhengri, Taizong of the Tang Dynasty in the previous dynasty!" Jiang Wenwei, a knowledgeable doctor and a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help but whisper, this poem was written in the era of Zhenguan's rule, and it entrusts the heroic ideals of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, the four poles, and the eight wildernesses, what happened to today's emperor? Why is there such excitement and passion?!

Of course, it was not only Jiang Wenwei who realized this, but many ministers also showed strange expressions.

"On the fifth day of the first lunar month, all the courtiers in Beijing will go to court!" Li Jing finally announced an extraordinary news, got up and left the main hall.

According to the usual practice, after the seven-day holiday of the New Year, it should be the eighth day of the first month of the first month. The ministers in the hall were all confused and looked at each other.
