Huo Guang gave an order, and got the consent of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and then the entire county government was busy opening the night market for the Lantern Festival. "Ya * Wen * Yan * Qing * First * Fa" and the people and magnates of Chang'an are all talking about this matter, people are always curious about new things that have never appeared, and driven by curiosity, people are also looking forward to the arrival of the Lantern Festival.

At the end of the court, the county guards and foreign envoys left one after another, but there were still a few special guests living in the Honglu Temple, they were several kings surnamed Liu who had not returned to China for the time being, and these kings were specially left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to worship the Taiyi God together.

"Uncle Jiaoxi Wang, I just heard outside that the night market in Chang'an City is going to open on the night of the Lantern Festival, I wonder if Your Majesty will let us also join in the fun? The night market is a novelty! In a palace in Honglu Temple, a young man wearing a brocade robe with a jade belt around his waist said to another middle-aged man who was also wearing it.

This young man is only twelve or thirteen years old, and he is the contemporary Jiaodong King Liu Xian. The several princes and kings specially left by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty this time are also very particular, and not all the princes and kings can worship the Taiyi God with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Xian, the king of Jiaodong, is the fourth generation of the king of Jiaodong. And Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che was the second generation of the king of Jiaodong before he became the crown prince, and later Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was crowned his twelfth brother Liu Ji as the king of Jiaodong, and the king of Jiaodong was considered to be the closest prince of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Open a night market? This is something that has never even existed in the period of the Ancient Holy Emperor, and since His Majesty has left us behind, maybe this is the real intention! "The person who spoke was in his forties, and he was also wearing the clothes of the princes and kings, he was Liu Duan, the contemporary king of Jiaoxi, and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty still called him a starling in private. However, Liu Duan suffers from a hidden disease and has not been able to have intercourse, so he has no heirs until now, and no heirs means that the Jiaoxi Kingdom will cease to exist after his death, because of this reason, Liu Duan has a violent temperament. Of course, this violent temperament is only relative to the inferior. It is precisely because he has no heirs that Liu Duan, the king of Jiaoxi, is very good to Liu Xian, the king of Jiaodong, and the two are very close.

"This life in Chang'an is really difficult, I just hope to get to the Lantern Festival earlier, and when the Lantern Festival is over, we will be able to return to the country!" Although Liu Xian is the king of a country, he still has a young heart after all, although Chang'an is prosperous and rich, there are too many restrictions on these princes and kings, these princes and kings are free to do whatever they want in the kingdom on weekdays, and naturally hope to return to China as soon as possible.

"King Jiaodong, let's talk about this uncle and nephew, you must not say this again. In Chang'an, the most important thing for us is to be cautious in words and deeds! King Jiaoxi subconsciously looked up at the outside of the hall, and said to King Jiaodong in a serious voice. Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Fa

Champion Hou Nei, Huo Guang finally returned home after a busy day, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw Li Yan and a few maids gathered together, with a lot of paper beside him, but these papers are much harder than writing paper, and they are the hardest and most waterproof among the several types of paper made by Lu Shu.

"My lord, take a look, how well are the slaves and maids doing?" Seeing Huo Guang appear, Li Yan shouted from afar, now she appears as Huo Xian, and she is also used to calling herself a slave.

Huo Guang approached everyone with a smile, although he was already very tired after a day, but when he returned to the mansion and saw Li Yan and these people again, Huo Guang suddenly felt not so tired, and sighed in his heart, "It feels good to have a home!" ’。

Li Yan handed the thing in her hand to Huo Guang, this thing is like a lotus flower in her hand, but it is made of folded paper, which is the river lantern that people often put into the river to make wishes in later generations.

"Yes, that's it. Thank you for your hard work, do more, I will take you to put the river lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival, and then you will know what a beautiful night scene it is! Huo Guang took the river lantern and said to the girls, it is not uncommon to release the river lantern in later generations, and it is indeed a very beautiful night scene to release the river lantern at night.

"The second master really wants to take us out of the house? I heard that the second master is going to open a night market on the night of the Lantern Festival, can we also go to the night market? One of the maids asked Huo Guang excitedly.

"Actually, the place I asked you to put the river lantern is in the West Market, and the night market is built along the river, and when you put the river lantern, you will naturally be allowed to go shopping, and I will give you a reward of 500 yuan for each of you, which is considered a reward for you." Huo Guang said with a smile, he is usually approachable. Letting these slaves and maids make river lanterns, and then releasing river lanterns on the night of the Lantern Festival, is also a part of Huo Guang's plan, and he naturally rewards these maids.

"Great, the slave thanked the second master." When the maids heard that they could not only visit the night market, but also have 500 rewards to get, they were all excited at the moment, and their movements were even more quick.

In the eagerly awaited waiting of the whole Chang'an, it soon came to the day of the Lantern Festival, when the Chang'an County Ya directly closed the West Market, and then many Ya Gong craftsmen entered it, and with these people entered more than a dozen carriages, the carriages were covered with linen cloth, so that people could not see what was loaded on it.

Since the afternoon, many Chang'an people have gathered outside the West Market, waiting for the opening of the night market, and at this time, those Chang'an merchants who had already received the notice also entered the West Market with their own goods.

Huo Guang stood on a corner tower in the West Market, from here you can see the whole picture of the entire West Market, and behind him stood Du Yannian, Zhen Youcai, Li Yan and others.

"My lord, this is the lantern? These things will light up tonight? This move has set a precedent for adults! When he first heard that the night market was opened, Du Yannian still felt that it was a little unfeasible, because the problem of lighting was a big problem in the Western Han Dynasty. But now seeing these colorful lanterns, although they have not yet been lit, Du Yannian already feels that tonight will be a grand occasion that he has never seen before.

In fact, there is a big difference between the gap between reality and imagination, and later generations have seen many prosperous night markets in film and television works, but in fact, it is just a film and television effect, and there is no lack of lighting effects in these pictures. When people who have been living in the dark suddenly find themselves in the brightly lit night market, it is definitely an unforgettable thing, so don't look at an open night market seems to be no big deal, in fact, it is a completely epoch-making event, a change in the inherent habits of human beings.

"Soon you will know, tonight will be forever recorded in the annals of the Han Dynasty!" Huo Guang looked up at the darkening sky and said with confidence.

Just when Huo Guang was arranging the night market in the West Market, the bells and chimes were already ringing in the Weiyang Palace, and the Empress Wei of the Han Dynasty, the crown prince and others appeared in full costume. Tonight's worship of the Taiyi God is the most important worship of the year, because the Taiyi God is the supreme god who dominates all the universe in the legend of this era, symbolizing the supremacy, and its worship specifications are much higher than the moon sacrifice, and it is the second only sacrifice in all the sacrifices after Mount Tai Fengzen.

Although there was no religion of any faith in the Western Han Dynasty, Taoism did not appear, and Buddhism was also not fully introduced. However, this does not prevent human beings from worshipping gods, and a large number of gods have appeared in the world of human thought, and there is no doubt that the Taiyi God is the head of the gods.

Taiyi God is not heaven nor earth, he is the god who created heaven and earth, so the place where Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty worships Taiyi God is very interesting, that is, it is not in any special temple, nor is it worshipping on a platform, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty led the ministers of the clan to worship the entire Xuanshu Hall outside the Xuanshu Palace.

At that time, people believed that in any place, its specifications were not enough to welcome the advent of the Taiyi God, and only the Dragon Court of the Son of Heaven, the center of the power of the world, and the emperor's high platform in the Xuanshu Hall were worthy of welcoming the arrival of the Taiyi God, so there was such an unbelievable scene.

During the whole worship process, a group of people led by the emperor worshiped in front of the empty Xuanshu Hall, and the emperor also gave up his throne today to welcome the Taiyi God. As for whether the Taiyi God appeared on the emperor's throne, no one knows, but since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the masses have strictly worshiped in accordance with the etiquette.

"Buzz...... Hum ...... "The sky has completely darkened, and the ceremony of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to worship the Taiyi God has also arrived." At this time, a bell rang in the bell room of Weiyang Palace, and the bell spread throughout Chang'an, and also fell into the ears of Huo Guang and others on the corner tower.

"If you have money, you will order Lu Shu to light the lamp. Yannian, you go and tell Li Ling to open the night market when the bell stops. It is strictly forbidden to crowd and stampede, and if there is dishonesty, no matter who catches me first. Huo Guang immediately commanded when he heard the bell, but he didn't turn around, but continued to stare into the distance, and the direction he looked at was where Weiyang Palace was located.

"No." Zhen Youcai and Du Yannian took the order and left, but a moment later, the lanterns that had already hung on both sides of the road were lit one by one. The entire West Market has been arranged by Huo Guang like a temple fair in later generations, and small platforms have been set up on both sides of the road, and each small platform has a corresponding merchant selling its own goods.

"My lord, are you going to put a river lantern now?" Li Yan approached Huo Guang and said, when the lantern in the West Market was lit, a scene of brilliant lights appeared, and Li Yan, who was standing in the corner tower, was also fascinated by this scene, but she had not forgotten that she also had a task, so she asked.

"Don't worry, they're ready, right? The river lantern will be put on again, and we will have to wait for the most important guest. Huo Guang waved his hand to indicate that he was not in a hurry for the time being. Huo Guang knew in his heart that the guest in his mouth was the protagonist of tonight, and even the night market he spent so much time and energy preparing was also for this person.
