Chapter 278: New Rites
Today is a day when you go everywhere you go.
In fact, it is also crowded.
To be reasonable, there are a lot of open spaces, and there is no need for everyone to squeeze together.
But today's birthday star is in Yanguang Courtyard, so the originally spacious Yanguang Courtyard instantly squeezed in hundreds of people
Jia Hui had never felt that Yanguang Temple was so unfamiliar, so unfamiliar that he didn't know where to start when standing at the door
I know what it's like to rub shoulders one after another.
But fortunately, the name of the Taiwei is still somewhat useful, just listen to the sound of "Taiwei and his wife are here!" The people crowded in the courtyard shrank to the sides as best they could, so that a passage could be cleared
In fact, there shouldn't have been so many people, and the people who were originally qualified to come here were either the royal family members, the princes and nobles, and the families of those civil officials who were first- and second-class officials.
However, the royal family and nobles were almost taken away by a wave back then, and even if the remaining royal children pulled the babies who were still in confinement over and stood here, it seemed that Yanguang Courtyard was too empty. There was no way, so the emperor agreed to let the viscounts in Beijing.
It's not empty now, but it's crowded.
Jia Hui could even catch a glimpse of several of his old subordinates at a glance.
But fortunately, it was only the courtyard that was crowded, and there were only the royal nobles and the first- and second-class officials in the main hall, which was finally spacious.
After entering the door and walking to the emperor, Jia Hui gently tugged on Li Kun's sleeve and bowed to her at the same time: ""Minister Jia Hui and his wife Jia Li congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and wish the emperor's birthday to be tested for Hongfu, and the life of Xianya Luqiu is happy!" ”
"Hahaha, okay, Jinyu Palace Judge, hurry up, give a seat!" The younger generation, who has a successful career and a happy family, came to congratulate him on his birthday, and the emperor suddenly closed his mouth happily, and hurriedly beckoned the chamberlain to quickly move two chairs over.
The emperor naturally knows Li Kun's words, after all, she often brings the juniors of the Jia family to visit the queen, and after the queen knows Li Kun's words, the emperor will naturally know.
"Thank you, Emperor!" Stretched out his hand and gently supported Li Kun's arm to borrow his strength, and Li Kun, who was wearing several catties of Zhai Guan and more than 20 catties of clothes on his head, did not have the slightest difficulty to stand up.
Li Kun was naturally not suitable for staying here, so he said goodbye to the emperor, and followed the chamberlain to find the queen and other female dependents.
Jia Hui also sat on the stool that the waiter had brought over.
"Tsk, Jinyu, the little couple is very affectionate!" The Emperor laughed and teased.
The emperor naturally saw Jia Hui's actions just now.
"Hehe, madam, she doesn't have much strength, I'm afraid that the minister will worry about her loss of honor in front of the palace, but it makes the emperor laugh and forgive her sins." Jia Hui replied with a grin.
"Hmph, the hippie smiling face in front of the holy car, are there any rules?" King Yizhong, who was sitting on the side, frowned and shouted at Jia Hui with an unhappy expression.
Since the rebellion of Huaqing Palace, the king of Yizhong County has been a low-key person with his tail between his legs for several years, for fear that the emperor will not be able to think about it and chop himself up, and the reason has been thought of by himself, called "collusion with the remnants of the East Palace to rebel".
After all, the group of people back then made it clear that the little prince Chen Pingyuan was just a pretense, and their ultimate goal was to help him, the legitimate grandson of the year, ascend to the throne.
Frightened, he quietly exchanged all the money in his palace for silver tickets, dug several tunnels from the palace to the outside of the city, and even secretly kept a few small boats, so that when the emperor or someone wanted to kill him, he could run away with the whole family and have a chance to live.
After many years, Chen Pingyuan got married, the princess was pregnant with a cub, and the emperor and the present day did not have the intention of dealing with the remnants of their two veins in the East Palace, and the king of Yizhong County was relieved.
Today, when I saw Jia Hui, who had been fighting with him since he was a child, he couldn't help but say a word to him.
"Yo, Wang Bacong is finally willing to get out of the shell?"
"What kind of feces are you spewing all over your mouth, I'll kill you!"
Jia Hui's hippie smile made Yizhong break his defense, and his heart was frightened after so many years, which made his mind more and more sensitive, especially when others said a word related to his timidity
"Oh, big brother, forget it." Chen Pingyuan saw that the situation was not good, and immediately pounced on Yizhong's body and dragged it back.
"Get out of the way!" Who cares if the hot-blooded righteous loyalists have anything or not? Picking Chen Pingyuan's face was about to push him away.
But Chen Pingyuan, who had witnessed the killing of Jia Hui, who was covered in blood and had broken meat on his body, like a killing god, would be easy to do?
finally has a blood relationship with the eldest brother, although the relationship is average, but in this court there is always a person who can hug each other for warmth, he can't let Yizhong just disappear: "No, big brother, you can't beat him, you will be killed by him!" ”
"I" heard this, and Yizhong almost didn't come up in one breath.
What you said is true, and I agree with it, but
Can you please not be so blunt! Don't I want to lose face?
"Huh, hahahaha!" The emperor was amused by Chen Pingyuan's words.
Regarding the fact that Jia Hui and Yizhong did not agree and met and fought, the emperor had already seen it. Anyway, Jinyu is measured, and Yizhong can't beat Jinyu, so he just should watch the excitement.
"Hey, if you want to fight, hurry up, go to the table after the fight, I'm hungry!"
"Humph!" Yizhong went down the step given by the emperor very smoothly, snorted coldly, and was pushed back to the chair by Chen Pingyuan.
Jia Hui also stopped glaring at Yizhong, and blinked his eyes to relieve his eye fatigue.
It's just a weekday, but today is the emperor's 70th birthday, and the blood is not good, even if the emperor doesn't say it, he can't fight.
"Won't fight?" The Emperor asked, looking around at the two of them.
"The Emperor forgives sins!" Jia Hui got up to accuse before Yizhong spoke, and Yizhong, who was a step slower, could only glare at him, and then quickly got up to accuse.
"Don't forget it, I think there can be some extra programs to help the fun," the emperor said angrily, "That's it, on the day of the big day, I won't punish you, you two things."
The emperor rubbed his forehead, I am afraid that these two dogs will not be able to get along in this life.
"Forget it, let's go, let's eat!"
。。。。。。
There is still a bit of a process to be done before going to the table.
For example, the civil and military officials and the kings and nobles congratulated the emperor on his birthday.
So, the old and young masters in Yanguang Temple also went around to the place where the civil and military officials were waiting quietly, waiting for the official start of the birthday banquet.
Like the same position as the Great Dynasty Meeting, the civil and military are divided into two classes, the literary class is still headed by the first assistant Li Xiang, followed by the ministers and scholars, and then there are the remaining civil officials of the big and small Jiuqing, Shilang Lang and other five grades or more in Beijing.
Well, not necessarily all of them are Beijing officials, and some local officials who come to Beijing to do business are also among them.
The same martial arts class is the same, and all the generals of the fifth rank and above in Beijing have come.
The leader is none other than Jia Taiwei, who is even in front of the kings.
After all, the emperor is called "Feng", and the Taiwei is called "worship", the most important thing to be a prince is that the princes have a good life and superb reincarnation skills, and it is difficult for the Taiwei to meet one, so Jia Hui, the Taiwei, is ranked before the kings.
After the kings, there are princes and uncles arranged according to the size of the title, seniority, and age.
Hearing the roar of the Dharma horn in the door, everyone in the civil and military classes instantly straightened their waists and looked solemn.
The birthday feast has begun!
Immediately followed by the sound of the Dharma horn is the "Song of the General Assembly".
Great Emperor Qi, long hair is auspicious. Zuo Long Ji Xia, Dao Mai Yu Tang.
Lourdes Keming, Hugh has a blazing light. With the heavens as the extreme, Chen lives in all directions.
After the emperor, the saint is psychic. There is a destiny from the sky, and the birth is given a rest.
Long Fei Ziji, make me Qijing. The universe of light is magnificent.
With the sound of the door opening full of oppression created by deliberately not oiling the door shaft, the palace door is wide open!
Jia Hui and Li Xiang glanced at each other, took a deep breath at the same time, and took a step forward.
Accompanied by the singing of Yale's "Song of the General Assembly", the top of power in this powerful empire walked into the venue of the birthday banquet.
The ladies had already collectively celebrated the emperor's birthday long before them, so those who had a seat such as the princesses and Li Kun and other first-class orders entered the seat early, and it didn't hurt if there was no seat, the queen and the queen's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law set up a few tables of banquets in another courtyard early, and if they were willing to play for a while, they would play for a while, and if they didn't want to, they would go back with their husbands who also had no seats.
The Han generals wore reflective armor, held various ritual weapons on both sides of the road, and tied red silk on their arms.
The location of the Emperor and his wife is on the southern shore of the South China Sea, and a small palace on a peninsula slightly protruding to the north seems to be a small flat platform built for banquets and other occasions.
The platform was a cut higher than the ground, just enough for the people at the last table of the banquet to look up and see it, and it would not make the princes and nobles in the front row feel uncomfortable and could not see them, and the design was obviously deliberate.
Halfway through the venue, the "Song of the General Salute" was just finished, and the musicians of the Teaching Workshop Division immediately seamlessly connected to the next piece of music.
"Song in front of the palace".
Ming Ming Qi country, Emperor Xi Road. Then the sky is drooping, and the light is set to protect the sky.
The sky is established, and it is unbridled in all directions. Rites are prosperous, Emperor Mumu.
Flowing water, Chaozong Tianchi. Paying tribute to the office, suppressing the prestige.
It is not only a matter of courtesy, but also a casual courtesy. One person has a rule, and he is a blessing for all nations.
My emperor, the real soul is sacred. The end is the beginning, and the Yue is celebrated.
Such as the sky, such as the sun. Jiezi Jingfu, eternal life.
With the singing of the musicians, the civil and military classes slowly stopped in front of the platform and stood firm, until the last few people of the hundred official teams also stood still, and "Singing in front of the Palace" also happened to end.
"Dedicated to Shoujue, celebrating the Holy Emperor. Lingzuo is poor Eryi, Xiu Ming and other three lights! ”
The sound of music came from the ears again, and the two classes of civil and military affairs, under the leadership of Jia Hui and Li Xiang, sang the "Shangshou Song" taught in advance.
After all, he is not a professional singer, and there are still a lot of broken gong voices among the hundred officials, in case he sings too much and it is exposed, it will be unsightly, and the teaching department will not make up the "Shangshou Song".
Dai Quan stepped forward: "Praise! ”
The civil and military sang loudly in unison.
"Heavenly Dao Fude!"
"Praise again!"
"Haiyu Xianning!"
"Three likes!"
"Blessed is the Holy Bow!"
Long live Zhu Wenwu Sanhu.
"The ministers wish Your Majesty a long life!" Finally, all the ministers bowed down to the ground.
"Hahaha, all the ministers are flat!" The Emperor laughed back.
After the ceremony, call it a day.
The princes, nobles and high-ranking officials are seated, and the seats are also easy to find, and their wives can go wherever they are.
The rest of those who are not qualified to sit are exiting from both sides in an orderly manner.
Jia Hui also found his place smoothly.
There's no way, the seat is too far forward, and Li Kun, a delicate woman in her twenties, is really too conspicuous to sit among a bunch of old ladies with gray hair, and it's hard not to notice.
Today I sat according to the title and rank, and the princes all went to the platform.
Jia Hui's place is the duke's area.
Split meal system, just one table for a couple.
After saying hello to Yun Yu and other dukes who were familiar with him, Jia Hui sat next to Li Kun, and as a result, Li Kun handed him a sweat towel to wipe the sweat on his forehead
"Hu Ke can be regarded as having completed the procedure," Jia Hui carefully wiped the sweat on his face with a sweat towel.
No way, afraid of heat.
"Master, was this last time so tedious?" Li Kun asked curiously.
It's the first time she's seen such a grand set of processes, playing music and singing, and it's long live, and it's a big eye-opener today.
"Haha, how is it, the newly set ritual music is shocking, right?" Jia Hui said with a smile.
"Newly formulated?" Li Kun didn't quite understand.
"Yes, the newly formulated" Jia Hui, who wiped his sweat, folded the sweat towel neatly into his sleeves, "It turns out that he only needs to follow the "Chaohui Music" and "Dan Majesty Great Music", and there is no such thing as singing at all, but some time ago, the Ministry of Rites said that it has been more than 100 years since the founding of the country, and it is time to set a new ritual music. ”
"This is New Lile? Feel like it's indescribably gorgeous? Li Kun thought about it and said how he felt.
"Uh-huh." Jia Hui nodded, "In the early years, the country was poor, so it advocated frugality, and even the ritual music was saved, and if you can only play music, you will never sing and dance." But now it's different, the dynasty is rich, the political situation has stabilized, and now there is only one Dzungar around who can still make a few moves with us, and on the whole, it can be regarded as a prosperous era now."
Jia Hui looked around the luxuriously decorated venue with great emotion: "As the old saying goes, you have to look at Shu, since you can already eat, then the next step is to go in the direction of eating a full meal and eating a good meal. ”
Li Kun nodded in approval: "I understand, I understand, 'non-magnificent, no prestige', you see, aren't the envoys of all countries who came in with you dumbfounded!" ”
Jia Hui glanced in the direction of the teams of various countries, and suddenly found a group of turtles who seemed to be shocked by the scene just now, until they reached their seats, with an expression of "I am shocked".
"Tsk, look, isn't the effect coming out!"
