It took a long time for the celebrant to wake up the frozen Liu Qiao, and Liu Qiao gave Wei Zhongxian a big gift with his weak body.

Wei Zhongxian didn't raise his head, but said lightly: "Since Banzai is willing to speak for you, our family is too lazy to embarrass you anymore, after you go back, what needs to be done is done, and your nephews can still catch up to go home for the New Year." ”

"Yes." Liu Qiao bowed his head.

"Lord Liu, let's do it for yourself, go slowly, don't send it."

Liu Qiao bowed back, then slowly turned around and walked out of the celebrant with staggering steps.

Wang Tiqian looked at Liu Qiao's departing figure, then came to Wei Zhongxian's side, bowed down and said, "Master Chitose, this Liu Qiao is only afraid of temporary patience, not really tame." ”

Wei Zhongxian said lightly: "The bones are hard, we have seen a lot of them, and if they are not soft to knock, then chop them up and feed them to the dogs." ”

"Long live can protect him once, but not the second time, if he himself doesn't know whether he lives or dies, no one can save him."

Wang Tiqian had a flattering smirk on his face, and said: "Master Chitose, our long live has protected Li Banghua, and now we are protecting this Liu Qiao, I don't know what to think." ”

After waiting for a while, Wei Zhongxian was silent, and Wang Tiqian didn't dare to ask, so he bowed and saluted, and then slowly retreated.

Liu Qiao did not go home to recuperate, but came directly to Jinyiwei without stopping, and then quickly settled the cases of the sixteen people, sentenced all of them to death, and immediately executed.

Because he already has the crimes of these people in his hands, even if he doesn't, with the means of Jinyiwei, fabricating charges is completely basic, and he is not easy to come by.

This is also one of the main reasons why Jinyiwei makes others fearful.

When these people were arrested, the officials and magnates of the whole city were silent, and they were all secretly watching their fate.

When the news came out that these sixteen people had been executed so quickly, there was a lot of noise for a while, and no one dared to talk about Gonggong Wei's wrong.

It seems that the eunuch party is still the eunuch party, although it has encountered some setbacks in the past few months, it still holds monstrous power, and no one can easily shake it.

It's not about to be the New Year, and one by one, their minds are alive again, racking their brains to think about how to change the way to please the Chitose Lord and Mrs. Fengsheng.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the atmosphere of the New Year has begun.

Early in the morning, firecrackers were lit in the open space in front of the Qianqing Palace, which was very lively, but it was quickly drowned out by the sound of firecrackers outside the palace one after another.

Because on this day, in addition to being a small year, it is also the Stove King Festival, also known as the sacrificial stove, which is to worship the Lord of the Stove.

This festival has rarely been heard of in modern times, but it is a very important traditional festival in ancient times, people attach great importance to it, and almost every stove is equipped with the god seat of the stove king.

Because the ancients believed that the Lord of the Stove was the messenger of heaven and earth, and was ordered by the Jade Emperor to be in charge of the stove fire, manage the diet, and investigate the good and evil in the world, and was the protector of the family.

On the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month every year, the Lord of the Stove has to go back to the Heavenly Palace to report to the Jade Emperor what the family has done in a year.

The Jade Emperor will follow the report of the Lord of the Stove, and then hand over the fate of the family's good fortune and fortune in the new year to the Lord of the Stove.

In order to let the Lord of the Stove try to say more good things to his family when he reports to the Jade Emperor, there is a sacrificial stove.

On this day, everyone gets up very early, cleans the courtyard, sets up an incense case in the courtyard, inserts a few pillars of incense on it, puts on the freshly steamed cooking cakes (steamed buns), three stacks, piles into a mountain shape, a total of three stacks.

In addition, pastries, fruits, stove sugar, and a few relatively hearty dishes are put on the table.

The hostess carefully tied a horse and a cart with sorghum stalks, ready to be used as a chariot for the king of the stove when he ascended to the sky.

The formal ceremony usually begins at dusk, and the family first goes to the stove room to set up a table, and offers incense to the king of the stove in the shrine on the stove wall, and offers the fruit of the stove.

After the offering, the master first removed the offerings in front of the statue of the king of the stove, and then carefully took off the statue of the king of the stove and put it on the incense table in the courtyard.

Then, the whole family knelt in front of the incense case, folded their hands, very religious, and kept chanting: "The Lord of the Stove returned to the Heavenly Palace, saw the Jade Emperor, and said more good things and less bad things." ”

In order to add another layer of insurance, people often smear the stove sugar on the mouth of the stove prince, so as not to tell the wrong thing and say bad things after he sees the Jade Emperor in the sky.

When he smears the stove sugar, he will say more sweet words, so that the coming year will bring more happiness to the family.

After doing this, the master lit a fire and burned the statue of the king of the stove, which had been enshrined for a year, along with the horse and cart that had been tied before.

After eating and drinking, the king of the stove can take a carriage to fly against the wind and return to the heavenly palace wearing a colorful glow.

After that, the family can safely share the fruits and food of the offering, and the day is considered to be a successful one.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, people will bring back the Stove King, that is, the newly purchased statue of the Stove King will be pasted into the shrine of the stove room and re-enshrined.

Because the first thing the Lord of the Stove does in the lower realm is to count the roster, everyone in the family must reunite on this day to pray for the Lord of the Stove to bless everyone in the family.

……

Since the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month, the liveliness in the palace has not stopped, fireworks will be set off in front of the gate of the Qianqing Palace every day, and at the same time, the palace will also set up Aoshan lanterns and set off fireworks.

Fireworks are not a new thing, and fireworks in later generations have been made to the extreme by the Chinese, but Aoshan lanterns are rare in later generations.

Aoshan lantern, also known as the mountain lantern, is an ingenious combination of fireworks and lanterns, which is very spectacular.

People use colored paper, bamboo strips and silk to tie into a variety of skeletons, and then paste into birds and beasts, Qionglou Yuyu, and then use countless delicate small lanterns to arrange them layer upon layer, beautiful.

In later generations, whether it is in reality or on TV, I have never seen such a shocking lantern show.

This is also the result of his reduction in the use of the palace, which led to the reduction of the very expensive Aoshan lantern a lot.

Otherwise, there will be more, bigger, more beautiful and exquisite Aoshan lanterns.

But even so, the apocalypse, who has the soul of the afterlife, is completely attracted, and every night he has to enjoy the beauty from all angles with the queen Zhang Yan.

"Hey, it would be nice to have a mobile phone to record every wonderful moment."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was slightly stunned: "Mobile phone? ”

Apocalypse was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered it up: "I mean, if there is something that can freeze the wonderful beauty in front of you and prevent it from being lost, how good it would be." ”

Zhang Yan held Tianqi's hand and said softly: "Yes, the concubine also wants to be like this with Your Majesty and never be separated." ”

Tianqi's heartstrings couldn't help but tremble, and then hugged the lovely child in front of him into his arms, and Zhang Yan took the opportunity to lean her head on Tianqi's shoulder.

The figures of the husband and wife gradually blended with the lights not far away, as if they were the fairy couple living there.
