Text Chapter 78 Lantern Festival Lanterns
People in the capital spend this Chinese New Year's Eve under martial law, without the slightest feeling of the New Year, so when the fifteenth day of the first month is no longer martial law, and people can walk freely on the streets again, they have a kind of momentum to make up for the New Year, and the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day becomes very grand and lively. Every household has set up lanterns, some rich squires also held lantern competitions, set up heavy prizes, Qianzong also ordered people to bring the lanterns in the palace to the folk display, in order to show that they have fun with the people. The people's interest is higher, the fireworks that were not set off during the New Year are set off on this day, reflecting the entire sky of the capital, and the air is no longer the smell of blood but the sweet smell of various snacks, and the lanterns everywhere illuminate the capital as bright as day.
The custom of going to the country of Mexico is that on this day, unmarried men and women can walk around the streets to find a destined marriage, and unmarried couples who have already been married can also meet and play together. Therefore, after dark, Bai Ziyu drove the carriage and took Yun Yuhong out of the palace to enjoy the lanterns.
During this time, although the two of them have met a few times, they are talking about business, and they are very busy, and they often have to do things separately without saying a few words. Therefore, when the two met tonight, they suddenly had a feeling of being separated by three autumns. Sitting in the carriage, Yun Yuhong looked at Bai Ziyu's tiredness under his eyes, and then thought about Bai Ziyu's tiredness these days, she couldn't help but feel a little distressed, and Yun Yuhong's distressed result was to pull Bai Ziyu and let him lie on his lap, and said softly: "Don't move, sleep for a while, I'll call you in a while." ”
Bai Ziyu's face turned red all of a sudden, and he struggled a few times but didn't break away, in terms of strength, he was Yun Yuhong's opponent, so he could only shout in a low voice: "Don't be like this, I'm not sleepy." ”
Yun Yuhong said softly: "Sleep for a while, you will go to court tomorrow, it will be another tough battle." ”
When it comes to tomorrow, Bai Ziyu is no longer struggling, he is also having a headache, the situation is much better than before, but there are still many problems there, he has been with Mr. Ning almost all night in the past few days, and has thought about all the possible problems, including how to propose the appointment, dismissal and promotion of officials, how to deal with the difficulties of Zhou Daxue and Yu Shangshu, how to propose the handling of the Liu family's affairs, and what is even more difficult is how to explain this incident to the subjects of the world, not only to take care of the royal face, but also to protect the reputation of the Liu family, There are also death pensions and so on. Of course, these don't necessarily have to be solved by Bai Ziyu, there are other officials, but most of the ministers of these main departments are in prison, and most of the others are on the side of Zhou Daxue, which is reassuring. Bai Ziyu's style of doing things is a little different from Yun Yuhong, he strives for perfection, and he must be fully prepared before doing things. And Yun Yuhong most of the time seizes the opportunity to do it, as long as the result is good, the process is not important.
Bai Ziyu was really tired, and thought he couldn't sleep, but as a result, he fell asleep before he had a cup of tea. Looking at Bai Ziyu's sleeping face, Yun Yuhong decided to go to her tomorrow morning to participate in it, and postpone the trip to the border to take over the Jinghui Army for another two days. The matter at the border is more urgent, the army has been assembled, her original plan was to leave tomorrow, but now she thinks that it is better to wait for the matter in the court to come to an end, the army will be led by Wang Wu to the border first, and she will catch up with it. Bai Ziyu is just a small prefect, although he was born in the Marquis of Yasukuni's mansion, everyone knows that there is something equal, such a person can't do something real without a strong backing, and her father Emperor Qianzong needless to say, she can only feel at ease by watching the scene.
There were more and more people on the street, but Yun Yuhong ordered the car to drive to a little more off-the-beaten-path place, and finally found a quiet place to stop the car. With a wave of her hand, Yun Yuhong motioned for the four little ghosts to play by themselves, leaving her alone to accompany the sleeping Bai Ziyu.
Mr. Ning was very tired these days, so he hid in the house to sleep and didn't come out to join in the fun. Baizhu doesn't like to be lively, especially after Yun Yuhong found two codex of the previous imperial doctors in the library in the palace and gave them to him as New Year's gifts, he was so focused on reading books that he was not interested in anything else. Lao Dao is a person who is not willing to be lonely, but he doesn't want to watch the lanterns with Yun Yuhong, in his words, he is a person who knows the times. But the four little ghosts still have to follow Dingyun Yuhong, so Lao Dao can only walk on the street alone. It's just that although there are many people around, Lao Dao still rarely feels a little lonely. Seeing that everyone else was in a group of three or five, but he was alone, Lao Dao suddenly felt that this lantern was very boring, which made him want to go back to sleep. But as soon as he turned around, he saw a group of men and women walking towards him, but they were several sons of the Bai family and several sons and ladies of the Jingyuan Hou family. The marriage of Bai Ziqi and Zhao Ruomei was held at the end of the year, and the marriage between the two Hou Mansion was also a sensation in the capital for several days. The Zhao family married a full 128 dowry, which was no less grand than marrying a princess, which really made the people talk about it for a few days, but the fly in the ointment was that the emperor did not say anything, the queen and the eldest princess did not attend, and the Marquis of Yasukuni did not come back.
Lao Dao wanted to avoid it, firstly because he didn't have a good impression of these people, and secondly, because these people didn't like him either. It's just that he is lonely now, so it is naturally the best policy. It's a pity that Lao Dao's actions were a little slower, but he was still seen by Zhao Ruiying, and Zhao Dagongzi shouted: "Isn't this Tianshu Dao Master, why are you so lonely and alone, your princess apprentice doesn't care about you?" ”
The old man bowed his hand and said, "I've seen Commander Zhao." ”
……
Zhao Ruomei said with a smile: "It's rare to meet the Taoist, if the Taoist is unaccompanied, you might as well join us." ”
"No need, thank you Commander Zhao for your good intentions."
……
If you don't mention the words "Commander Zhao", you will die. Can this still be discussed? Although it has not been announced to the world, but these people don't know that Zhao Dagongzi's original officials under the command of the internal guards have been exempted, and now they are depressed, is it appropriate for you to slap your face like this.
Zhao Dagongzi couldn't help but want to make a move, but was stopped by Bai Ziqi. It is not wise to use force on the street, and it is not good if something happens in extraordinary times. So he pulled Zhao Dagongzi and walked away with everyone.
Lao Dao won a verbal battle and was in a very good mood, and he didn't plan to go back, but turned around and wanted to continue. It's just that his smug face stimulated Zhao Dagongzi, who was already depressed in his heart, and was still squeezed by the old way when he came out to relax, he couldn't help it, pushed Bai Ziqi away, and punched the old way. Lao Dao didn't check any of them, and was knocked to the ground, Bai Ziqi saw that he couldn't stop it, so he didn't stop it, and Ren Zhao Dagongzi punched Lao Dao again. Lao Dao has been following Yun Yuhong's side for a few years, and he can stand this kind of beating, holding his head and shouting for help. The surrounding crowd also panicked, and a group of black-clothed ghost kings quickly rushed over, and the leader shouted: "Anyone who makes trouble, arrest them." ”
Bai Ziqi and the others saw that something was wrong and wanted to explain, but the person who was the leader was from the Ghost King Valley, and he was very familiar with the old way, so naturally he couldn't see the old way suffer, so he didn't wait for Bai Ziqi to speak, and waved his hand directly. Of course, Bai Ziqi and the others refused to be arrested, plus they were all disciples of the generals, they all had kung fu, and they were young and vigorous, and they quickly fought with the ghost king soldiers. These ghost king soldiers were left by Yun Yuhong, and to be honest, they were also leftovers, and they were still inferior to these generals who had been trained according to the standards of generals since childhood, so they quickly fell behind.
There were armed fights and fights with officers and soldiers, and the people on the streets were in chaos and fled in all directions. This movement alarmed the four stingy ghosts, and the four of them didn't care about playing the ring game anymore, so they hurried to the scene of the incident. The four of them were happy to see the two groups of people fighting. To be honest, for these two families, except for Bai Ziyu and Bai Ziren brothers, the other four little ghosts are not pleasing to the eye, although they are not gentlemen, but they all have eyes above the top, always pointing their nostrils at people, and always look like I am the son of Wuhou Mansion, and I am born superior. But now the opportunity has come, fighting with the ghost king's soldiers, and according to Yun Yuhong's words, it can be dealt with as a rebellion. The four of them showed no mercy, especially with the help of the stingy ghost, a martial arts master, the ghost king army took down these young ladies very smoothly and tied them all with ropes.
Zhao Dagongzi was not convinced, and shouted to the stingy ghost: "Let us go, otherwise I will let you go around without food." ”
The second prince of Zhao also shouted: "We are the sons of the Marquis of Jingyuan's mansion and the cousin of the eldest princess, who of you dares to touch us." ”
"I dare to move." A clear female voice came, and Yun Yuhong and Bai Ziyu walked side by side. It turned out that the crowd running around woke up Bai Ziyu, and the two didn't know what was going on, so they walked over together, and just heard these two words. Yun Yuhong said to everyone: "There are regulations for thirty years of punishment for making trouble on the street, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, there is nothing to say, Xing." ”
Zhao Dagongzi was not convinced, but he was pointed at by a stingy ghost. A few ghost king soldiers pulled a few long chairs and pressed a few people on the chairs to beat them.
Bai Ziyu saw that a group of people gradually gathered around him, so he said to the people: "The traitors have been arrested, you villagers can rest assured to enjoy the lanterns, as for these troublemakers, don't be afraid, even if it is a child of an official family, the eldest princess will definitely be punished according to the law." ”
When the people heard this, they were relieved, and their eyes looking at Yun Yuhong were not only afraid, but also a little more curious and respectful. They heard about the ghost king princess, the ghost king is a legendary figure, of course they will be curious, but they saw the blood on the eve of Chinese New Year's Eve, and the people are more afraid of Yun Yuhong, but now they see that the ghost king princess is very fair, but there is some appreciation.
Bai Ziyu's intentions Yun Yuhong naturally knew, and she only felt sweet in her heart. The beautiful scenery of the good night in the heart can't be missed, so without waiting for these people to finish their walk, they pulled Bai Ziyu and walked towards the lantern. The two of them talked and laughed, pointing at the lanterns on the side of the road from time to time, and the figures gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, and the four little ghosts who could only go down to prison Xing, and the old Dao who had never been looked at by Yun Yuhong from beginning to end were heartbroken.
