Although Xiao Huayong did not eat the prison pills made by Shen Xihe, Yuan Zhengri received a jar of Tusu wine sent by Shen Xihe to the East Palace. This is a New Year's custom, which is a kind of liquor made from medicinal herbs to drive away evil spirits, detoxify and prolong life.

There is also a custom of drinking, which should start drinking from the young in the family, the so-called "the younger one is old, drink it first; The old man loses his age, so he drinks alcohol".

There are also sweet gum teeth, and if there are children here, they will give some sweet mouths.

Sticking the door god spring couplets, changing peach charms, and planting flags, it was not lively for a while.

On the first day of the new year, every household has to burn firecrackers, and the hollow bamboo knots crackle in the flames, which is called "court fire".

This fire should be burned from morning to night, or for several days and nights in a row, and spices were thrown into the fire, so that the fragrance lingered throughout the house.

Shen Xihe had nothing to do, so he made a huge lamp tree with Pearl and others, so that the people of the county lord's mansion were lively and lively, singing and dancing, and the people were good at dancing, not only the princes and nobles, but also the common people.

Shen Xihe was unwell and couldn't learn to dance when she was a child, she moved the guqin to play the qin for them, regardless of dignity and inferiority, everyone enjoyed the joy of the New Year, and everyone's face was filled with a happy smile.

Bu Shulin didn't pester Shen Xihe, she went to the throne.

The so-called throne is that on the first day of the first year, every house in Kyoto has a banquet, and neighbors will greet each other for the New Year, and they will eat at whom's house when they go.

Thinking of this, Shen Xihe couldn't help but secretly rejoice that today was a big court meeting, otherwise Xiao Huayong would definitely take advantage of the custom to swagger to her.

It was lively for most of the day, Shen Xi and Xishi roasted a whole sheep, and the county lord's mansion was surrounded in the courtyard, sitting in different positions, one person divided several plates, and had a good meal, Ziyu proposed that everyone come and go to hide the hook.

Shen Xihe didn't want to participate, so he went back to the house early, and watched them frolicking in the yard in the house, enjoying a rare relaxing and pleasant time.

"County Lord, Wang Shizhong has been suspended again." Shen Xihe was painting, and Mo Yuan came to report.

"Today, what is the fault? Your Majesty is having a seizure today? Shen Xihe was surprised.

What an important day Yuan Zhengri is, ordinary mistakes, even if they are serious enough to be suspended from work, Your Majesty must endure it for the sake of the New Year's Festival, and then punish it after a few days.

"It is said that the two envoys clashed in the Taiji Hall." They don't know the specifics.

Shen Xihe put down his brush, thought for a while, and said, "Someone must have made a stumbling block." ”

How important is the Pilgrimage?

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, the envoys of the various states, the envoys of the state and the surrounding countries, all the countries came to congratulate.

Wang Zheng is a provincial servant under his door, and he is responsible for leading the arrangements to make it happen, and it must be unusual for the two parties to clash. But Wang Zheng is cunning and thoughtful, how can he easily make mistakes?

"County Lord, could it be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?" Hongyu thought that the last time Wang Zheng was suspended, she thought that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

"He is not the only one who can do it in the court, but at this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is indeed the most suspicious." Shen Xihe also suspected in his heart that Xiao Huayong was secretly doing it.

"Those who know me, Yo Yo also." As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Huayong's deep voice came from the roof.

The guards only found out about him at this time, and Shen Xihe couldn't blame his guards for being useless, it was really this person who even came and went freely in the palace, not to mention her small county lord's mansion?

"Your Highness is afraid of the cold, don't be like a child." Shen Xihe said softly.

Xiao Huayong jumped up, jumped off the roof, and strode towards Shen Xihe: "I'm passing the throne to the county lord's mansion, yo you can't miss my meal." ”

Chuanza prevails in Kyoto, but people are self-aware, ordinary people do not dare to go to the mansion of dignitaries, naturally the identity of the neighbors will not be too different, Shen Xihe's county lord's mansion occupies the corner of two streets, and the neighbors have become a lot less, only a few families, all of them are clan relatives, most of them know that Shen Xihe has a cold temperament, and the county lord's mansion has not opened the door, they will not be bored.

In the end, it is a festival, Shen Xihe did not open the door, it does not mean that he is not ready to eat, after all, there are so many people in the county lord's mansion.

The visitor is a guest, and it is a New Year's custom, Shen Xihe did not expel Xiao Huayong, so he relied on him to eat.

"Yo Yo, do you want to know why Wang Zheng stopped?" After Xiao Huayong finished eating, he came to Shen Xihe's side and asked.

Shen Xi and his eyelids didn't raise: "I don't want to." ”

Xiao Huayong's smile did not decrease: "But I want to talk to you." ”

But it turned out that Wang Zheng was in charge of arranging the envoys, Xiao Huayong moved some tricks, led the envoys who had already sat down to leave the table, and led the envoys of Goguryeo to sit in the position of the envoys of the Great Food, and when the envoys came back, there was a dispute.

The language between the two is not comprehensible, and then a person in charge of communication is arranged to translate each other's words to each other in unfriendly words, which exacerbates the conflict, and makes the two almost draw their swords, which is why Wang Zheng, who is stumped, is put in.

"Is there a place where His Highness doesn't dare to do it?" Shen Xihe asked.

He dared to set fire to the temple outside, and he dared to create conflicts at the great court meeting where all countries came to congratulate.

"It's just an innocuous skirmish." Xiao Huayong didn't care at all, "It's just to let Your Majesty know that he can't afford to serve him." ”

"Your Highness, you don't have to be so ......"

"That's it." Without waiting for Shen Xihe to finish speaking, Xiao Huayong smiled and said, "I'm not just for Tao Yushi. ”

Xue Heng wants to vacate the position of Zhongshu Ling, at this time Wang Zheng made a mistake, which was a huge mistake, which made His Majesty lose face in front of the envoys, His Majesty forgot, and others will not forget, and it will be a handle to attack Wang Zheng in the future.

Now the six departments, Xue Lizhineng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, knows in his heart that his Minister's Book is the end, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs and the Ministry of Household are all new to office, and they have not yet sat in a hot position, Xiao Huayong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, should have other plans, and the Ministry of Industry is old and has reached the age of being a minister, so there is only the Ministry of War Shangshu.

Without these people in the front, you can only choose from the entire place of Dali Temple and Yushitai, and the competitiveness of other temples is not large.

"And for the other reason?" Shen Xihe asked.

"Nature." Xiao Huayong chuckled and said, "If he makes you unhappy, I'll toss him." The ups and downs are the most, and this is just the beginning. ”

Shen Xihe couldn't laugh or cry a little: "Your Highness really holds a grudge." ”

"No, if he is disrespectful to me, I can still be generous." Xiao Huayong's eyes were tender and tender, "If I am disrespectful to you, I will compare the baht." ”
