Section 29: Chinese New Year (Ask for Collection and Recommendation Votes)
The first year of the Great Song Tianyun ushered in the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in a heavy snowfall, and the only major event that happened in the first year of Tianyun was that the first thing was that King Feng disappeared for more than three years and returned to the Great Song Dynasty to take charge of the Supervision Yuan, and the second thing was naturally the destruction of the Yunzhou family.
Whether it was the Qingtian Divine Sect or other forces, they all sniffed out the ambitions of the Great Song from these two things, and at this time, on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the Great Song did not be as vigilant as the outside world, but lived Chinese New Year's Eve peacefully.
Both the emperor and the people are welcoming the arrival of the second year of Tianyun, at this time the night of Lin'an City is full of "beep pop" firecrackers, whether it is the rich and noble people or the common people are hung up at the gate, the door is pasted with a new door god. It wasn't the sound of laughter rushing into the courtyard into the street.
In the huge Fengwang Mansion, only Fengwang and Tang Bo were sitting in the backyard, and the other guards and others had been asked by Fengwang to go home to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with their parents, and Xiao Qing also returned to the Ethereal Pavilion a few days ago. Therefore, the huge Fengwang Mansion is so deserted on this Chinese New Year's Eve.
"Uncle Tang, I've been quite lonely on Chinese New Year's Eve in the past few years since I was away," Zhao Feng said with a smile.
"In the past few years of the prince's absence, the old slave has often been in this courtyard, thinking about when the prince will come back. Tang Bo replied
After hearing this, Zhao Feng's expression fell slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Tang"
"What the prince said, the prince grew up watching from a minion. And when the prince left, he also explained that he wanted the old slave to be optimistic about the Fengwang Mansion. Tang Bo said with a smile
Zhao Feng didn't speak after hearing this, turned his head to look at the moon in the sky, the moon tonight was not red but white. The moon turns white only on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve in a year, perhaps this is also the Hades also living Chinese New Year's Eve.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, it is the first day of the new year, and the Great Song Dynasty officially ushered in the second year of Tianyun. The streets of Lin'an are bustling with activity from early in the morning, and they are full of joy everywhere. Countless people in the streets are dressed in new clothes and carrying gifts. Seeing people, whether they know or not, they all say "Happy New Year", and the fastest of them is the children, because the relationship between Chinese New Year's Eve and night is very small, and the children are shuttling through the streets to buy what they want to buy.
Zhao Feng didn't wear the palace, just wore an ordinary white shirt and walked on the streets of the outer city, Tang Bo followed, Zhao Feng looked at the lively atmosphere on the street with a smile, and sighed in his heart.
Zhao Feng walked aimlessly on the streets of the outer city, looking at the smiling children and adults connecting and smiling. And the countless shouts on the street also make Lin'an City more of the atmosphere of the usual New Year.
No matter how powerful the Great Song Dynasty was in the field, no matter how powerful the cultivation in those unknowable places were. The common people of the Great Song Dynasty were never disappointed in the Great Song Dynasty because of the existence of that academy and because of the trust in the court officials and the emperor.
After 500 years of hard work, the emperors and princes of the Great Song Dynasty really felt the peace and prosperity for the common people under the rule of the Great Song Dynasty today, the enlightenment of the imperial court policy, the protection of the border army and the military protection of the Taoshan Academy outside the city of Lin'an, all made the Pingming of the Great Song Dynasty feel extremely relieved.
Maybe in the hearts of the Great Song people, they would rather believe more in the imperial court and the royal family than in the Qingtian Divine Cult, maybe one day when the Great Song Dynasty really encountered a crisis, the people of the Great Song Dynasty would also put down everything in their hands to protect and defend a dynasty like the Great Song Dynasty.
"Quick, go to the altar of the earth and toast your lordship to the sky today," suddenly a person next to him said.
Zhao Feng was stunned when he heard this, and the altar of the earth would hold a sacrifice to the sky every year on the first day of the Lunar New Year to pray for good weather and good health for the people this year. However, the abbot sacrifices to the heavens are the main sacrifices, but this year, how can it be the worship of the celestial of the abbot of the outer city himself. Zhao Feng couldn't figure out the reason, so he followed the crowd to the altar of earth on the back of the outer city. Although the Great Song Dynasty does not believe in the teachings of the Qingtian Divine Sect, and the sacrifice to the heavens is only to win a good fortune.
At this time, the Temple of Earth was already crowded, and the black crowd completely surrounded the entire Temple of Earth. And the better location of the teahouse near the Temple of Earth was also overcrowded, and Zhao Feng could only stand on the outermost part and couldn't see the situation inside clearly.
"Why did Lord Toast personally come to the abbot's outer city to worship the heavens this year?" asked a dark-skinned man beside Zhao Feng at this time.
"You don't know this, His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered it," a middle-aged man next to him replied
"Aren't you talking nonsense, don't I know that it is Your Majesty's will, but why does Your Majesty want to toast your lord to come to the abbot's altar to worship the heavens," the dark man said depressedly
"I don't know," the middle-aged man said.
"Cut," the swarthy man said, continuing to look in the direction of the center of the altar of earth.
At this time, the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens at the altar of the earth had begun, and countless attendants presented sacrifices such as pigs and cattle on the altar. And on the steps of the Temple of Earth, there were not palace guards, but all warlocks wearing yellow robes. The toast stood at the bottom of the altar of the earth, holding a roll of yellow paper silk in his hand, quietly waiting for the auspicious time to come.
Whether it is the Temple of Heaven in the inner city and the Temple of Earth in the outer city, the Temple of Heaven is the abbot of the Lanwan Secret Realm, and the Temple of Heaven is the place where the emperor's priest and ancestors are naturally abboted by the wine celebrity, and the members of the royal family and nobles must be present, while the Temple of Heaven is worshiped by the chief priest, the purpose of which is to hope for the peace of the country and the people.
It didn't take long to hear a loud shout "The festival begins", and the crowd, which was still extremely noisy at this time, immediately quieted down after hearing the sound.
Standing at the bottom of the altar of earth, the toast slowly raised the paper silk in his hand and walked step by step onto the high platform in the center of the altar of earth, and every time the toast passed by a yellow-robed warlock, the yellow-robed warlock would write something in the air. When the toast walked to the high platform, the words written in the air by the yellow-robed warlock immediately revolved around the high platform. At this time, the toast also knelt down, unfolded the yellow silk silk in his hand, and read out the sacrificial text.
The ceremony took more than an hour to end, and at this time, the toast on the roof put the finished sacrificial text on the high platform and left the altar, and the sacrificial text should be placed on the high platform of the altar for a whole year, until the new sacrificial text appears next year. After the altar was over, the crowd gradually dispersed.
Zhao Feng looked at the sky, it was not early, and the altar of heaven had already ended, so he was ready to go home, but it was snowing again, Zhao Feng looked up at the sky, smiled at the corner of his mouth, said a few words to himself, and returned to Fengwang's mansion.
At this time, the senior brother of the Academy on the Snow Field in front of the Northern Demon Sect Holy Land was quietly looking at the person who was born in the unknown land of the Demon Sect Holy Land in front of him, and at this time, the countless dead Demon Sect disciples were lying on the Snow Field.
"I didn't expect the first day of the new year to be such a big surprise," Takuno said with the holy weapon in his hand, while the senior brother of the academy did not speak.
"Lu Xiaoxiao, why the hell are you here" Takuno said the name of the senior brother of the academy, which was a little funny and extremely jealous.
"Take one thing," Lu Xiaoxiao said.
