Chapter 6: Ten Years of Streamers

In any case, the official family still came back before the Chinese New Year, not to mention the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, even the ordinary people of Beijing seem to feel more relieved.

After the Zhengdan Dynasty, as always, it was a seven-day holiday, and it also announced the advent of the eleventh year of Jianyan.

At this time, it was rumored that because of the complete elimination of the Jin State, the snow was shameful, and the official family finally decided to allocate a special fund to restore the lantern shed during the Shangyuan Festival and enjoy with the people.

The so-called lantern shed lamp mountain, is the royal edict craftsman, since the New Year's festival began to build the pile of large lanterns and lanterns, the shape and size of the year is different, the higher one is almost the same height as the Xuande Building, and the wide one is almost flush with the royal street.

In fact, on the second day of the Shangyuan holiday every year, that is, on the evening of the Shangyuan Day, the people of Tokyo often go to the sides of the Imperial Street to take seats on both sides of the street from the beginning of daytime, and wait for the lighting of the lamp mountain and lantern shelter at night...... This is like the Spring Festival Gala in later generations, no matter whether it looks good or not, it is always a specific reserved program, and it is a main drama. (Quote from original text)

However, the experienced citizens of Tokyo do not believe much, with our official family's door, there is this money must be used to build a new capital, to govern the Yellow River, or it is to reduce taxes in the affected areas, when the Empress Dowager Yuan Yu returned to Beijing, she said that it was better than this painting, what was the result, a lottery ticket was sent away.

It can only be said that it has been almost ten years, and the people of the capital also understand what kind of virtue the boss is.

However, thinking of the shocking Jurchen captives entering the city this autumn, those who have really experienced the shame of Jingkang will remain silent when others ridicule and instigate the officials.

The previous Emperor Taishang Daojun was arrogant, and then!

However, Zhao Guanjia always uses some actions to show that he is still a little similar to his titular father, for example, he is really willful.

Just when everyone was preparing to spend this Shangyuan Festival peacefully without any hope, the women compatriots also planned to go out to the streets and alleys to enjoy the carnival night of the Great Song Dynasty on the five days before and after the Shangyuan Festival, and by the way, when they saw what new tricks the official family had this year, they were surprised to find that from the fourteenth day of the first month, Kaifeng Mansion began to arrange lamps and lanterns on both sides of the Xuande Building.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, night falls, and a lantern shed is set up in front of every house, and the lights must be hung up to coincide with fireworks. The mountain shed is tied indoors, and five-color screens and cannon lamps are placed. There are countless lights up and down the streets around the city. In front of the Bronze Buddha Temple, there is a Ao Mountain, a green dragon is coiled on it, and there are thousands of lanterns in Zhouhui. There is also a mountain in front of Cuiyun Tower, on which there is a white dragon, and there are countless lights on all sides.

And inside and outside the city of Tokyo, in the countryside, there are really millions of people pouring out, but it is inevitable that after walking around, they will come to the front of the Xuande Building, as if they are looking forward to something.

Sure enough, as soon as the time came, night fell, Yin Yan Xiaozhong of Kaifeng Mansion wore a purple robe and shouted, "Put the lights." ”

Suddenly, the fire trees and silver flowers were shining, and the fireworks were shining, and the entire city of Tokyo seemed to be shrouded in colors, even Yan Dayin's black face was shining, of course, now, no one was paying attention to him.

Because, not far from the Jinming Pond, faintly heard the sound of singing, some people are curious to walk a few steps to check, only to see the double-decker dragon boat, is also full of lanterns, the firelight flickering, more than a dozen singing and dancing girls wearing Hangzhou silk light gowns on the boat, slush dances like a thriller, singing and dancing, making a variety of graceful gestures, charming but not vulgar.

And with the guqin and Qiang flute, the lyrics are clear:

Thousands of trees bloom at night in the east wind.

More blows down, stars like rain.

BMW carved cars are full of fragrance.

The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night.

Moth snow willow golden wisps.

The laughter is full of dark fragrance.

The crowd is looking for him thousands of times.

Suddenly looking back, the man was there, and the lights were dim.

Zong Ying, who was in the private house at home, was wearing filial piety clothes, and there was no more bad thing about the clan marriage with Lady Yanyun in his mind, but he took a large family in the courtyard, solemnly invited the spiritual seat of Zong Ze, the king of Chu Zhongwu of the Great Song Dynasty, and placed it in the courtyard, asking his father to see the prosperity of Tokyo and the peace of the world.

Dad, the official family has done what they promised you, and I hope you will rest in peace at home today.

At the same time, in the Daqing Hall of the Imperial Palace, there were a group of civil and military officers sitting beside Zhao Guan's family, listening to the singing, and there were some indescribable feelings in their hearts.

Eight years ago, the official family returned to the old capital, and gave the emperor to stay in a good song that made all the ministers at that time envious, and now it has been decided to move the capital, and the official family must have made an exception, on the day of his death, let the old man who had exhausted his life for Tokyo take a look at the current ten miles of prosperity in the sky.

Fortunately, otherwise, the courtiers, especially the generals, might be even more nervous.

I don't blame them, because in this place where the Zhao Guan's family held a banquet, there was a major event one hundred and seventy years ago, called "A Cup of Wine Releases Military Power".

Coincidentally, today, except for Xu Jingheng, the rehired prime minister who returned to Beijing to report on his work, and Zhang Jun, the privy envoy who was himself the supreme head of the military attaché, the others were all military generals, and all of them made great contributions in this Northern Expedition.

However, some people don't care, first of all, Han Shizhong, he has become a privy deputy envoy and has completed the epic achievement of being a general and entering the prime minister. If you want to say that you are worried, you are also worried that the massacre in the land of Yanyun will cause dissatisfaction among the officials, but under the suggestion of the civil official Hu Yin, whom he admires the most, he is also relieved, and now he thinks that the next time he goes back to his hometown, he will have to ask the old gentleman who told me his fortune back then if he is still there, and he will give him a sum of money, and he will have to calculate it for my son if he is so accurate.

I have to say one more thing here, Hu Yin knows that Han Shizhong's reading level is there, so he said it very bluntly: Have you seen the official family re-tie the jade belt? Since you don't have it, what are you thinking, since the official family uses you, can you not know what kind of virtue you Han Shizhong is? It's really my business with you, what kind of prime minister of King Qin should be?

It can only explain that one thing descends one thing.

King Han Qin was naturally the King of Yue Fei and Wei who had just rushed back, and he had really suffered a lot of public opinion pressure during this time, so we have to believe that Xiao Yue's horse definitely received more than twenty strokes of the military stick. In the final analysis, the reason is that during the Northern Expedition, in order to concentrate troops, Yue Fei used the power of self-authoritarianism given to him by the Zhao official family, and exposed the entire Tokyo, including hundreds of royal nobles, dignitaries and dignitaries, to the iron cavalry of the Jin Army.

Although Zhao Guan's family stood up for him afterwards, others didn't dare to say anything, but it was inevitable to hold grudges. Even the queen mothers who lived in seclusion had a lot of complaints, but they were just said by Zhao Guanjia, "Dengfeng is extremely safe, which one is willing to go to Shaolin Temple to accompany the emperor to worship the Buddha?" "I didn't dare to say a word to him.

However, for Yue Fei, he never knew how desperate he was in the other world, and now he only felt that he had smashed Huanglong and recovered his homeland, and he had no regrets in this life. I don't care about military power or anything, he can accept it if he really goes home to farm. Oh, by the way, his wife also clamored that she raised their brothers, not only Yue Fei fought all day long, but even her youngest son Yue Fan also got a position as a Wuqing county commander through Enyin, and the land she longed for for half her life could only be taken care of by her daughter-in-law.

The third is Zhang Jun, the king of Qi who has been light recently, and he is even more free. In the early years, the right army of the imperial camp was taken care of by his son-in-law Tian Shizhong, and now his mind is on overseas trade, don't you say, since the Northern Expedition won the shock of the countries, the royal maritime trade business led by him has made a qualitative leap, and the family is almost unable to fit 'helpless', in this case, you let him lead the troops again He may not be happy? It's better to think about expanding the storeroom.

The fourth is Zhang Rong, the king of Lu who was found back to discuss how to arrange the distribution of the navy, it is said that he should be the most nervous, after all, it is useless to keep a large number of warships on the Yellow River, but there is no need to leave some precautions in the west of the river, and the Western Liao does not talk about martial arts, but in view of the bandits in the southwest region, it is best to have a naval army stationed. In this way, his descendants are bound to be decomposed, but Zhang Rong has his own rules of survival, from the dialogue of "You are an official, do you also know the difficulties of the common people", he has completely believed that the official family is a good official family with righteousness, since he can make the people live a good life, he will not only care about himself, otherwise he will not be too unrighteous to be the leader.

The four princes are so calm and calm, which objectively eases the atmosphere, so that the martial artists who are still a little cautious sigh at the bottom, no wonder they are the princes themselves and even the prince of the county is almost not mixed up, you look at the psychological quality of others.

However, at this time, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting at the top, said a clueless sentence, "The streamer of the Huai River has been ten years." ”

Others are okay, but Xu Jingheng and Zhang Jun immediately recalled that on the way to Nanyang's glorious anti-gold, the orange lamps full of rivers remembered the words of Zhao Guanjia, "I was in a hurry, and I couldn't wait for the Bagongshan Cemetery to be built as a sacrifice. ”

That night, thousands of streamers, dotted with stars, swaying along the Huai River to the east, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, like a dream. At that time, some literati said that it was like when Tokyo was in its heyday.
