Step on a branch

Chapter 436

In Shangyuan, there was a city of lights in the capital.

A few days in advance, Qin Yuan shouted to see the lantern.

Ji's head got dizzy from her yelling, and he spat: "Go and see, if you really want to go, you will disappear as soon as you go, should I take people to the lantern market with drums and gongs to drag you back?"

Qin Yuan was so happy that she ran to the East Garden to look for Qin Luan.

"Eldest sister, have you seen the Lantern City?" she asked.

Qin Luan shook his head.

Last year, due to the death of Zhao Yuan, there was no lantern fair in central Beijing.

Counting forward, when she hadn't gone up the mountain, she hadn't been there because of her physical condition.

But the eldest brother gave her a lantern once.

The eldest brother didn't know which stall owner coaxed him into mistaking a fat bird lantern for a phoenix lantern.

Qin Luan was having fun by himself, but his elder brother was punished by his grandfather to go to the study, where he drew a hundred different birds in front of the album.

The next day, A Miao sent a Jade Rabbit Lantern and a Koi Lantern. Hearing about the interesting story, she even went to look at Qin Feng's paintings, and laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten up.

"No wonder he was coaxed by the stall owner. Whatever birds he drew were fat birds."

When this happened, Qin Yuan was still a baby, so naturally she didn't know.

Now it's the first time I heard that she laughed so hard that she patted the bed board and said out of breath, "I have to look for those paintings. I don't know if those paintings are still there."

Originally, fear was all there.

The Pianfu was ransacked once, and in order to prevent confiscation, things were packed in advance.

Therefore, it was saved, and it was hard to say where to store it for a while.

What's more likely is that Qin Feng dug out those childhood paintings from the study when they were packing up their own things at that time, and they might have been destroyed long ago.

Let Qin Feng paint now, and it is impossible to paint the childishness of the past.

As expected, under Qin Feng's gaze, Qin Yuan didn't gain anything in the study, which was quite a pity.

Qin Feng knew her reason for coming, so he was angry and funny: "Buy a lamp, I will buy a lamp for you when the time comes, you'd better grow three heads and six arms, or you won't be able to take it!"

The night of Shangyuan sank down.

The lanterns are lit up like daylight.

Qin Yuan held Qin Luan with his left hand, and dragged Qin Miao who was reluctant with his right hand, while walking, urging Qin Feng behind.

There are too many lanterns, it is almost dazzling.

Passing by, there are familiar sons of nobles and ordinary people, each has its own excitement, and no one will break the joy of other people's family.

Qin Luan took a lantern from Qin Feng.

This time, it is a veritable phoenix lamp.

Qin Feng laughed too: "Ah Yuan insists on mentioning this."

Qin Luan smiled and said: "If you give me the Fat Bird Lantern again, I will also pick it up."

"There are fat bird lamps for sale there," Qin Miao came out and gave Qin Feng a bad idea, "Fat mandarin duck lamps, let the second sister carry them."

Qin Yuan was thinking about lantern riddles, when she heard Qin Miao's words, she came over with her fists raised.

The two siblings, one in front of the other, are chasing after each other, very happy.

Qin Luan watched with a smile, those two were not the only ones running on the street, the children loved to run and jump, and they were like ducks in water among the crowd, able to protect the lantern in their hands.

In this way, Ah Miao is also considered a child.

It's because Ah Yuan is too old.

The light market is very long, from one end to the other end, slowly, as the time gets later, the number of people gradually decreases.

The lanterns were all extinguished one after another, and everything was in decline.

Qin Luan looked towards the direction of the imperial city, pursed his lips and thought: Being an emperor also has troubles.

For example, such a bustling lantern market has no chance for him.

If many, many years ago, Zhao Fan was still Lin Fan, the little overlord in the capital, and he was also one of the people who were chasing each other on the street.

It's a pity that she didn't recognize the little bully back then.

Just as Qin Luan thought, there are many things that you cannot do as you please when you are an emperor.

As soon as the Shangyuan passed, the yamen opened its seal.

In the early morning, all the big and small matters were discussed together, and when the court came down, the three princes went into the imperial study together, and Yu Shangshu from the Ministry of Rites was also called.

Zhao Fan looked in a good mood, and after they sat down, he said, "I'm confused about the rules of marriage."

Yu Shangshu said: "Those are indeed very complicated. You don't have to memorize all the details of ritual and music sacrifices. Just let the ritual officer take care of them. The minister will list out the parts that you need to do personally and give them to you for review." .”

"Master Yu, let me briefly talk about it."

Since he asked this question, Yu Shangshu of course answered, picked up the most important thing, and went through the six ceremonies of the emperor's wedding.

"I don't need to go to Yue's house to pick up the bride?" Zhao Fan asked.

Yu Shangshu said: "No need."

Zhao Fan raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "I want to go."

Yu Shangshu was so taken for granted by his attitude that he didn't know how to persuade him for a while, so he could only look at the three elders.

This is against the rules.

Sangong also hesitated for a moment, looking at the lawsuit before it was over, but Zhao Fan took the topic away.

"Before, General Mao issued a brochure for New Year's greetings." Zhao Fan picked up a brochure from the big case and asked Eunuch Gan to pass it to Taifu Xu. "General Mao's worries are also my worries."

Taifu Xu opened it and read it.

Mao Gu'an seemed very happy with the new king's enthronement, but he was more concerned about the border situation.

Xizhou City is different from Feimenguan.

Guan is the place where troops are stationed, focusing on training and defense, and the lives of the people in the town below are vassals.

city, and vice versa.

The people's food, drink and life are the most important, and the garrison is for cooperation and protection, not control.

Years ago, the imperial court ordered a group of capable officials to go to Xizhou City to take over the internal affairs of the city.

As for the army, continue to drill and prepare, and try to put pressure on the Xiliang royal court when the weather is warmer.

Xiliang is no longer something to fear, what really needs to be guarded against is Nanshu.

It is true that Nanshu is a grasshopper, trying to seek benefits at every opportunity, but the people of Nanshu will not understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.

Once the Great Zhou completely incorporated Xiliang into its territory, the next goal would undoubtedly be Nanshu.

The overlapping of the throne of the Great Zhou was too smooth and too fast, and there was no chance for Nanshu to cause chaos. If Nanshu did not start before the demise of the Xiliang royal court and try to pull the strength of the Great Zhou, then what awaited them was Facing Da Zhou alone a few years later.

Master Xu finished it, and then showed it to several others.

"You mean..." he started tentatively.

"Nanshu may not move for a long time, or it may move at any time," Zhao Fan said, "What I mean is that every place in the southern border must be careful, and when to attack Xiliang, it must be more calculated."

After saying these few words, he burst out laughing: "The elders look so dignified, don't you think I'm going to say 'personal conquest'?"

Sangong: ...

"No," Zhao Fan said, "I have just ascended the throne, and the overall situation of the court and China is the most important thing. It is impossible to personally conquer Xiliang and Nanshu."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the imperial study room did not relax much.

Tai Fu Xu directly exposed him: "But you want to greet the queen in person."

Having said so much, I have made a big circle, and this is the meaning from the beginning to the end.

The roof does not need to be lifted, but the windows must be opened.

This man is so annoying!
