Volume 3: Hundred Tempered into Steel Chapter 187: Unusual

In just two days, Liu Shen and Zhang Tong were condemned to death, and they were punished for defecting to the enemy before the battle.

On the day of the execution, Zhu Qizhen specially ordered the execution in public, and tens of thousands of people flocked to watch, and the scene was cold and funny.

"What's going on?"

"I heard that he ran away during the war, tsk tsk, such a big official, if he said no, he would be gone, and he also raided his family and exterminated the clan, do you say they regret it?"

"Well done! If it's not this kind of person, we won't lose it, and my brother won't die there! ”

……

In the midst of the outrage, countless rotten vegetable leaves and eggs were thrown onto the prison cart.

As for the officers and men of the new army, they were uniformly rewarded according to their military merits, and if they did not have a suitable official position, they talked to give them silver, and insisted on rewarding them for their meritorious service.

As long as the officers and men of the three armed forces who came back alive from this battle, they have all become official officers and soldiers of the new army, and their household registration has been adjusted from their original place of origin to the new army, and they have been given their own military land.

This also made the soldiers of the Fifth Army very envious, Qian Xiongtian didn't like to stay with Chen Huai on weekdays, but always wandered around the camp and was familiar with the big-headed soldiers.

Since the other three armies were rewarded, many people began to mumble in front of Qian Xiongtian, expressing their desire to fight.

Qian Xiongtian can only encourage everyone, saying that there will always be opportunities, but when it will be, he, the deputy commander, is not clear, and Chen Huai, the commander, is also not clear.

The "little episode" of the New Year is over, and even Zhu Qizhen didn't expect that Warat is so vulnerable now, but he doesn't know that it is caused by the loosening of the screw of fate.

In a blink of an eye, the Lantern Festival has come, and the ancient palace and the people all took the fifteenth day of the first month as the Shangyuan Festival or the Lantern Festival and the Lantern Festival.

It is the custom of watching the lanterns during the day and traveling at night, which has existed for a long time. It is said that it began in the Han Dynasty, but it is clearly recorded in ancient documents that it was in the Tang Dynasty that began at the beginning of the seventh century.

In the first month of Tang Jinglong's fourth year, "on the night of Bingyin, the emperor and the queen watched the lanterns". It is the night to put thousands of palace maids to watch the lanterns. The next day, he watched the lanterns again.

At that time, it was believed that the gods of heaven descended on the night of the first month, so the lights were put on for three nights from the 14th to the 16th of the first month, and then increased to five nights.

It's here

In the Song Dynasty, the Lantern Festival was not only brilliantly lit, but also filled the streets and alleys with songs and dances, and "the music was noisy for more than ten miles". The custom of eating the festive food "Lantern Festival" (called Yuanzi at that time) has also appeared on the Lantern Festival.

The Ming Dynasty still follows the old habits, the palace has a three-day holiday before and after the Lantern Festival, and gives the civil and military ministers and the elderly banquet, and the Aoshan lantern is placed at the noon gate, listening to the people looking at it, saying that it is happy with the people.

Ministers can come to watch the lanterns with their parents, and the emperor will reward them. During the Yongle years, there was a fire in the lamp mountain, and there were those who died in time to dodge, and the emperor was very sorry, and it was not held again in the future, but the holiday and the banquet were the same.

According to the "History of the Ming Palace", on the fifteenth day of the first month, the ministers and palace dependents all wore lantern scenery complements and python clothes.

The lamp market is more prosperous on the 16th, the world is prosperous and salty here, and the relatives of the relatives go upstairs to play and see, and they are not afraid of people.

According to the records of the late Ming Dynasty, since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, "Shangyuan Ten Night Lights", from the eighth to the seventeenth day of the first month.

The lamp market of Jingshi is in the north outside Dong'an Gate (the area of today's Dengshikou). The lamp makers all take what they have and sell them at the lamp market.

"The name of the lamp is different, and the price is worth a thousand gold." At that time, businessmen from all over the world gathered, beads and stones were kitsch, Luo Qi silk and satin, and ancient and modern foreign objects were complete.

There are also hundreds of skilled operas, which are performed in the market, and the audience is staggered with men and women, rubbing their backs side by side, which is very lively. Rural people then set up straw to make sheds, hang miscellaneous lamps around the week, the door twists and turns, three or four miles long, the visitors can not get out for a while, it is called "the Yellow River Nine Curved Lantern".

Some family members, with 108 small cups of oil night lights, are placed all over the well stove portal, gathering like fireflies, scattered like stars, quite interesting.

At night, fireworks and firecrackers are set off, and there are hundreds of kinds of cannons, fires, three-level waves, ground mice, flower pots, flower tubes, etc. Some fireworks are erected one foot high, and the box is divided into five layers, which are set off everywhere and all night.

In addition, there are customs such as walking bridges and touching nails to get rid of all kinds of diseases. Zhengyang, Xuanwu, and Chongwen are not closed, allowing the people to come and go, and the school captain patrols and stays all night, and its grand occasion is no less than that of the Tang and Song dynasties.

Zhu Qizhen also celebrated the Lantern Festival of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and in three days, the entire Ming Dynasty was on holiday.

Zhu Qizhen took Queen Qian Jinluan for a private visit during the day, came to the lamp market to have fun, and made a villain when he went back at night, which was also a rare leisure time.

The fly in the ointment is that Yang Caiwei is still in Qiongzhou, and she has no intention of entering the palace so far, which also makes Zhu Qizhen helpless.

I have learned to be a man, but the woman I like is not ready, and there is nothing more painful in the world than this.

As the saying goes, fifteen is a year, and after fifteen, it's time to do serious things, Zhu Qizhen was the first to announce the decision of the "Queen Mother" on the first morning of the new year.

That is: for the first emperor to abolish the Hu family, the upper respect said "Gong let Chengshun Kang Mu Jing Cizhang Empress", the emperor, repair the mausoleum, not the temple, Yongqing princess burial.

Immediately, the courtiers praised the Queen Mother Shengming, generous and benevolent, and set an example for the world, Zhu Qizhen had a greater reputation in the court, and faintly already had the momentum of self-respect.

The second thing is to announce that in the future, the monks of the temple shall not have more than two acres of land under their names for the use of the temple, and all the excess acres of land will be used for public use.

The acres of land obtained were rewarded to the new army, and the remaining part continued to be recorded in the name of the temple for later use.

Although the ministers involved in the interests of the DPRK and China were unwilling, no one was willing to go against the new army that had just won the battle, and they could only watch the fat in their bowls being taken away.

It's been half a month since these two things were done, and the trials will follow one after another, and the Ministry of Rites didn't care much about Enke.

It was originally arranged by the emperor in order to find someone to be an official, and there was no ranking, as long as the test was taken, and the article was not bruised, it was natural to have as many as possible.

But this time, Enke was evil, and Zhu Qizhen asked several times in a row, and seemed to be particularly concerned about this matter.

There are all kinds of speculations among the courtiers, the most of which is that Zhu Qizhen's martial arts are available, and he is just one Wenzhi away from being able to stand side by side with the ancient saint monarch, so he attaches so much importance to Enke this time.

On February 20, only three days after the end of the examination, Zhu Qizhen summoned Cao Nai and asked about the examination.

"Your Majesty, there are as many as 1,000 people in this meeting, although the ministers have already read it once, they have not decided the ranking, and it does not match the usual situation, are you in a hurry?" Cao Nai's face was puzzled.

Zhu Qizhen still watched it with relish, and when he heard this, he said: "Don't limit the amount, naturally don't be customary, the ranking will be exempted, and you will also take Enke to heart."

The usual Six Arts assessment has also been waived, and it's already late February, didn't your Ministry of Rites already let me go to plough the hunting fields myself? This time, I will replace the six arts with farming, so hurry up and arrange it. ”
