In fact, it stands to reason that Fang Qingchen is really not a "hundred officials of the imperial court". He regarded the fictitious title of "Marquis of Zhenguo", and he did not have an official position in the court. Qin Xufei is different, the Wing King is a knighthood, and the Parliamentary King is an official position. In fact, Fang Qingchen's current power in the court is not guaranteed by a clear official position at all, but is achieved by relying on his prestige and his position among the Chu people.

As soon as he heard what Fang Qingchen meant, Qin Xufei knew that this guy wanted to slip away, and looked at him with a smile: "Does Fang Hou think that you can not attend the cultivation ceremony?" ”

Fang Qingchen coughed and sighed in his heart.

As the most powerful people on both sides of Qin and Chu, how could he and Qin Xufei not come forward at the same time to create a harmonious scene in such a grand etiquette for the people.

"I only attend, and I resolutely don't work." Fang Qingchen unceremoniously said the ugly words in front: "I don't have an official position in the court, and the resolution of these hundred officials and farmers can't control my head." ”

In fact, Fang Qingchen is really not lazy, but he refuses to make a fool of himself. The other marquis is amazingly talented, knows astronomy, knows geography, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and knows everything about eighteen kinds of martial arts, but ...... Farming...... He didn't understand it. If he wants the marquis of Fang to show that foreign appearance in public, how could he agree.

Qin Xufei sympathized with the same disease, and also knew that he was unhappy behind his bluff, and said with a wry smile: "Actually, I don't know how to farm, or ...... In the past two days, let's urgently find a few farmers to learn? ”

Fang Qingchen looked at him viciously, and the corners of his mouth twitched with a smile: "King Yizheng, you are the pillar of the country, this kind of major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood, you will suffer alone." I'm just an idler, so let me live my leisurely life in peace! ”

Qin Xufei sighed and stopped talking nonsense. After being silent for a while, he suddenly raised his hand, drank most of the pot of wine in his hand in one gulp, and said, "Baiguan has another request. ”

Fang Qingchen took a slow sip of wine and waited calmly.

"The Emperor's condition has improved, and this cultivation ceremony hopes that the Emperor will appear in front of the people to calm the people's hearts."

Fang Qingchen's expression was indifferent.

Qin Xufei's expression was a little helpless: "Last time, the Ganning Palace changed. Rumors have spread to the people, and rumors continue. Everyone in the world is worried about the condition of the Emperor, and now the Emperor's condition has improved greatly, if the Emperor Emperor shows up in public......"

He coughed dryly twice, and finally had no strength to continue to repeat the words in the court that reversed right and wrong.

Fang Qingchen smiled lowly, raised the pot to drink, but put it down: "This is the real reason why you came to me." ”

Qin Xufei was silent. This is to push Fang Qingchen's top heart out to tens of millions of people to watch, it is a matter of Chu Ruohong, where does he dare to send a subordinate to pass the word. Who knows if this person will suddenly get into the tip of the bull's horn again and go crazy again?

Fang Qingchen lowered his eyes casually. Looking at the countless empty wine jugs in front of him, he threw down the jug of wine that was still full of wine between his fingers: "Since this matter has already been decided, why bother to talk to me again." ”

Qin Xufei looked at his completely indifferent expression in a daze, and stopped talking, and finally had to sigh and stand up: "Since Fang Hou has no other opinions, I won't bother anymore." Leave. ”

He clenched his fists slightly, and without waiting for any response from Fang Qingchen, he turned around and walked away.

Fang Qingchen didn't send it either. He just sat quietly and stood still, waiting for the figure of the guy who was actually a bit of an eyesore to disappear from the garden gate. Fang opened his hands and leaned down among the flowers and plants.

The soldiers slammed, I don't know how many wine jugs were overturned, and the mellow wine quietly spilled under the wet clothes and towels.

In the aroma of wine, Fang Qingchen was facing the sky on his back. Smile slightly. I closed my eyes.

――――――――――――

Good day. The mighty ploughing ceremony began.

The surrounding areas of the fields that were chosen to be ploughed by the emperor have long been set up to hang colors. Flags fly.

The people, who were fortunate enough to be allowed to pay homage to the emperor and the hundred officials, lined up in a crowd all around, and were strictly controlled by the army and the servants in a position where they could shout and shout long live, but there would never be the slightest threat.

The common people had never seen such a big scene, and before dawn, they all gathered, waited and waited, and finally waited until the drums fluttered in the distance, the five-colored flags fluttered, and hundreds of officials escorted the emperor and the emperor's royal car, slowly coming. Everywhere they passed, countless people fell down with a bang, shouting long live.

When the team arrived at the field, they first invited the emperor to sit in the middle of the palace and worship to everyone, and then the emperor was on the throne, and then the officials of the Ministry of Rites read the ode, and the fourteen musicians sang the "Thirty-six Words" with the soundtrack.

In fact, which of the common people can really understand, it's just to watch a big and lively drama. Everyone was either talking in a low voice about the young emperor and the young emperor, or they were staring wide-eyed, trying to find out in the crowd, which one was Fang Qingchen, the great hero of the Chu people, and Qin Xufei, the big villain of the Qin State.

After a bunch of boring and tedious articles were finished, the emperor took off his wide coat, put on neat peasant clothes, and happily left the show.

Hubu Shangshu and Fu Yin whipped and knelt to the emperor, two old country petunias who were selected by thousands of people came over, plus two first-class skills and family background

The young emperor, like a big play, held the plough stick very solemnly and pushed it from one side of the field to the other side, while the head of the household followed them to sow seeds. The little emperor pushed it over and then pushed it back like this, and after reversing and repeating, it was considered to have completed a push.

In fact, during the whole process, he only needs to pose and make a real appearance. But after pushing one trip, he still took a symbolic break, took a sip of tea, and asked the steward and eunuch to wipe the sweat on his completely smooth forehead with a towel, and then began to push the second trip.

According to the ancient law, the Son of Heaven only needs three pushes to practice the cultivation ceremony, but the little emperor deliberately added four pushes in order to show that he was diligent and willing to work hard and encourage agriculture. So, the people around them could only stand on the sidelines with sore feet, stupidly looking at the big boy, pretending, pushing a plow to come and go there without any effort, and laughing in their hearts.

―

If the cultivated land is like this, so many people will go into battle together, and they will swallow the land slowly, and everyone will not live.

Finally, the emperor's four pushes finally ended, and a bunch of eunuchs hugged forward and helped their hard-working king back to his seat to drink tea and rest. No matter how wonderful a drama is, if you watch it several times repeatedly, it will be a bit monotonous and boring, long and boring. The crowd was in a commotion again, stretching their necks, and watching those civil and military officials start to perform!

The military generals who fought bloody battles on the battlefield, the civil ministers who are famous for poetry and painting, the Confucianism full of history, and the high-ranking officials who hold heavy power, one by one, with bitter faces, rolled their arms and pants and went to the field, the military generals pushed the plow, and the civil officials sowed seeds. The plough staggered,

Civil officials just hold seeds and scatter them around, which could still be very chic. However, many of them were stubbornly guarding Sven, and Shimoda was still wearing wide robes and large sleeves, which were covered with mud, and some of them stepped directly on the corners of their clothes, and the whole person could not stand steadily, and fell into the mound.

Basically, the whole process of farming is snickering in all directions, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are red-faced. Under the anger of the public, it is estimated that the courtier who has a bad idea and blindly expresses his enthusiasm will end up miserable in the future.

Of course, Fang Qingchen is not among these hard-working unlucky eggs. He was generous and regarded this field ceremony as an outing.

All the officials went to the ground, Fang Qingchen also ran to the edge of the field to sit on the ground, clapping his hands, Zhao Wangchen, who had been following him, stepped forward and spread out a piece of oilcloth on the ground, and then put all kinds of snacks, all kinds of fruits, and then several pots of wine.

This kind of behavior made the little emperor sitting behind the table look straight. Although he was the emperor, in order to show respect for the cultivation ceremony, he didn't bring anything out except tea.

Fortunately, Zhao Wangchen, this kid is quite sensible, and secretly left a lot of food for Fang Qingchen and didn't dare to put it out for Fang Qingchen, and when he turned around, he sent it all to the emperor and the emperor's table. Even if the Emperor Taishang is just a piece of wood and doesn't move there, and he doesn't need these at all, this ritual must be sufficient.

After dealing with the emperor, Zhao Wangchen turned around and stood behind Fang Qingchen.

Fang Qingchen began to eat and drink while shaking his head there, pointing and provoking the anger of the public.

First, he spoke earnestly as an elder: "Ziyun, I know that you are from a noble son, and it is normal for you to not understand farm work." However, the matter of this cultivation ceremony has already been decided, you should always go and learn it with an open mind, how can you try to fool it like this? ”

Then he paused in pain: "Hey, I'm talking about Lao Ling!" It's okay for others, you are from a bitter family, you have been killing people smoothly over the years, why can't you farm? It's forgetfulness, it's forgetfulness, haha......"

By the way, he also mocked his own unpleasant eyes: "Lord Xu, aren't adults cultivating and reading heirlooms, why are you ...... today?"

He drank a little wine here, knocked melon seeds, and made fun of others, everyone in the field dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the people around him had long seen that they wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh, and endured it hard, listening to Fang Qingchen's giggling and mocking everyone, where could he still bear it, and for a while the laughter came and went, and even Zhao Wangchen coughed twice before he suppressed the laughter.

Fang Qingchen glanced at him: "You kid seems to be a small official, why don't you go down?" ”

Zhao Wangchen hurriedly said solemnly: "I am responsible for guarding the two Majesties today, and by the way, I will listen to the dispatch of the master, and the king of the council has already granted me exemption." He couldn't help but look at the field, raised his head with his chest straight, and was full of confidence: "Master, even if it really ends, it won't be difficult for me." I grew up in the countryside, so farming is nothing. ”

Fang Qingchen laughed unconsciously: "Then tell me, how are they doing?" ”

Zhao Wangchen looked at the busy bigwigs in the fields and showed an unbearable expression.
