The grand fireworks show is not the end of Chinese New Year's Eve, but just the beginning of tonight's event.

Starting from the Imperial Palace, Da Yayi's procession headed out until the dragon bend outside the Nanxun Gate.

Most of the costumes in the Da Da Yi team are dressed up by the relatives of the Imperial City Division in the palace and the guards of all classes.

They tread to the rhythm of musical instruments, wore embroidered clothes, and held the golden spear dragon flag in their hands.

Among them, the man who used the workshop to make a burly man, all dressed in gold-plated bronze armor, pretended to be the general.

Then use the two generals of the town hall, wear a jacket, and pretend to be a door god.

and choose the ugly and fat man, pretending to be a judge.

There are also those who pretend to be Zhong Kui, those who pretend to be little sisters, those who pretend to be land, and those who pretend to be the god of the stove, a total of more than 1,000 people.

Walked out of the forbidden palace from the palace, walked all the way to the dragon bend outside the Nanxun Gate.

Many people from Bianjing City sang and danced alongside, and this activity was just buried.

The main function of the Da Da Yi is to drive away evil spirits.

The Da Yi team dressed up as various immortals, and expelled all the demons and monsters along the way, which is called exorcism.

Then the team came all the way to Zhuanlong Bay outside the Nanxun Gate and buried the demons and monsters, which is called burying Chong.

At this point, the whole Da Da Yi is over.

Then there is the burning of pine pots, the burning of Atractylodes, and the trial of the year.

And then it's time to keep the year.

At this time, the adults can go to sleep comfortably, and the Song Shou is usually from the children.

The lights and candles can not be extinguished overnight, and some night-killing food is prepared for the children, also called night-killing fruits, such as Shipan sugar, Chengsha dough, honey ginger bean, honey crisp, etc., as well as jade cups and treasures, various utensils of pearls and flowers, and gambling and play.

The children ate and played until dawn, when the children would run out into the streets and sing nursery rhymes.

"Sell dementia, sell you idiot, sell you stupid, sell you stupid, see sell as much as you can, you want to come with me on credit."

Children sang and danced, and children sang loudly along the streets.

This custom is called children's dementia, which is full of the good expectations of the people of the Great Song Dynasty that their children will be smart and clever.

At this time, Zhao Jun, who had already slept and got up, took Ye Yin, Brother Hu'er, Qing'er, and Ayimu, and under the protection of the secret guards, the white dragon fish suit mixed out of the palace, and walked on the streets of Bianjing City to watch the children in Bianjing singing songs about selling dementia.

Brother Hu, who was held in Ye Yin's arms, seemed to be attracted to them, his two big black eyes turned straight away, staring at the children on both sides of the street and smiling, and he stretched out his hand as if he was going to participate.

When Zhao Jun saw it, he hugged him in his arms and said to his son with a smile:

"Hey, my tiger brother also wants to sell dementia, right? Then grow up quickly, and in the future, our brother Tiger will come out to play like this. ”

As he spoke, he kissed Brother Tiger's white and tender face fiercely, and Brother Tiger resisted and avoided it again and again, but he couldn't help himself in his arms, so he had to be kissed by the bully father.

Brother Hu'er, who is still young, doesn't know that his father wants him to grow up quickly is not for him to sell dementia to have fun, this guy obviously wants Brother Tiger to quickly admit it and then pass on the throne to run away to be lazy, this is Zhao Jun's real purpose.

Until the end of Chinese New Year's Eve, when the sky is about to dawn and the roosters crow, the people in Bianjing City take out a bamboo pole full of copper coins and vigorously beat the ash heap or garbage heap, while praying to the gods and telling their wishes, this custom is called ash heaping.

It is said that after "beating the ash heap", it will turn evil into good fortune and fulfill one's wish.

Zhao Jun also brought his family to participate, and the family had a good time.

It wasn't until the ash heap was over that he reluctantly returned to the palace.

Zhao Jun is about to start preparing for the court.

After Chinese New Year's Eve is Zhengdan, which means the first day of the year.

On this day, the palace will hold a grand court meeting, and the hundred officials and nobles in Bianjing, foreign envoys, royal relatives, etc., all have to wear crown clothes to celebrate the New Year.

And this year is the most different, because this year's Zhengdan is also the first New Year after Zhao Jun ascended the throne, and it is also the use of the new era name.

From today onwards, the era name Heavenly Saint has officially come to an end.

The Great Song Dynasty thus entered the first year of Xingwu under the reign of Zhao Jun.

In the grand court meeting, after Zhao Jun accepted the congratulations of the hundred officials, he came to the scene as usual, and then announced the official use of the new year name.

Then the imperial court ordered that the public and private rents in Bianjing be exempted, and the people of the capital were allowed to 'shut down' (mainly gambling) for three days.

It means that the government is exempt from public and private rental housing for three days, which is naturally the kindness of the imperial court, allowing people living in public rental housing to be exempted from three days of rent.

In addition, according to the custom, the imperial court will announce that during the New Year's Day, the gambling ban will be lifted for three days.

That is to say, on the first day, the second day of the first month, and the third day of the first month, the citizens of Bianjing can indulge in gambling as much as possible.

In the evening, the ladies of the noble family will also go out shopping together, go into the casino to watch people gamble, and go to the nightclub to drink and feast.

Gambling is usually forbidden by the government, but now that the Chinese New Year is over, everyone is happy together, gambling happily, and the court will push the boat along the river, and the net will be opened.

The New Year of the Great Song Dynasty is very long, generally starting from the twentieth day of the lunar month and ending until the twentieth day of the first month of the second year.

It lasted up to a whole month.

In the past month, the whole of Bianjing has been plunged into a sea of celebration.

At the same time, Zhao Jun did not forget the other places of the Great Song Dynasty, Yunzhou County is not to mention, all kinds of materials are abundant, and the people in the county are more lively than Bianjing, that is, the Tatar side has also been opened to the free market for seven days to celebrate the New Year.

In other places in the north that have just recovered their vitality, Zhao Jun paid for it himself, so that Feiyun Commercial Bank purchased a large number of materials, and sold all kinds of New Year's goods to the people at a very low price, even to the point of a penny.

However, the government of each city also has special funds allocated to hold large-scale events and enjoy the people together.

Since this money was paid by Zhao Jun himself, the monitoring was particularly strict, and not only the officials sent by Zhao Jun to supervise the use of it on the surface.

Secretly, the Imperial City Division and the secret guards also kept an eye on the use of this money, once they found out who reached out, they didn't need to report it, they just cut it first, and if they took it, they put the officials of the Yamen to death, so as to express to these bold guys where Zhao Jun was going and what he valued about the use of this money.

This girl is my hard-earned money, and it is for the people to take it out, you worms dare to move a point, Lao Tzu will kill you on the spot, which one doesn't want to die, just try it!

There are many people in this world who want money and don't want to die, but when dozens of officials are cut into pieces, all the officials who handle them are honest.

In the process of handling this money, everyone was terrified, and they didn't dare to take a penny, for fear that they would become the next person who suddenly rushed out with the holy decree and hacked to death in public.

Under this strict supervision system, the entire northern part of the Great Song Dynasty can be described as jubilant, lively, and happy.

In contrast, the South is a different story.

On Chinese New Year's Eve, the parties temporarily ceased fire as if they had agreed.

But on that day, the rich chickens, ducks, fish, and meat celebrated the New Year, but the poor did not even eat a mouthful of a full meal, and could only watch those rich nobles eat and drink on Chinese New Year's Eve.

Far from being sympathetic, the rich magnates ridiculed it.

However, the next day, that is, the day of New Year's Day.

A massive uprising broke out in the entire southern counties!

The people, who were so suppressed that they couldn't stand it, finally broke out in the first year of Xingwu after enduring the last day of the twenty-eighth year of the Heavenly Sage!

In all the cities and counties, the angry people shouted the slogan of the prince and the prince Xiangning, rushed into the homes of the rich gentry who were not benevolent, and paid back all the sins they had suffered.

The ranks of the rebels expanded rapidly.

Even the Renovator Army seemed to have received an order, and took down the entire Haidu County at a lightning speed!

And the other counties also have their own powerful forces.

Those rich gentry and magnates who were high in the past had a little foresight and could barely maintain themselves if they raised soldiers, and those who only knew how to accumulate wealth and did not know how to save their lives became the people of the riots.

Finally, a steady stream of letters for help came to the north, and when they were in chaos, they thought that they didn't need to be under the control of the local yamen, gentry, officials, and families, but now they knew that they had caused a big disaster, and they couldn't stop yelling and began to ask for help.

However, due to the official news of the imperial court in the northern court, Zhao Jun did not receive the official news in the court until the twentieth day of the first month, and only he knew when he knew it in private.

Zhao Jun let out a disdainful sneer at these letters of help from the court.

casually picked up a letter asking for help from the river and said with a smile to the hundreds of officials below:

"What do you think of the letter for help from the seven southern counties?"
