My balcony connects the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 61: The Autumn Equinox and the Evening Moon, He Jin Dies
"Hehe, Yan'er was joking, what am I afraid of?"

Wei Cheng really didn't have any impression of the so-called second uncle, so he really couldn't say whether he was afraid or not.

But Cai Yan didn't think so. She had been married to Wei Cheng for so many years and knew a lot about the Wei family.

Patriarch Wei Hao loves his son dearly, as long as it is related to Wei Cheng, he has only one principle, don't hurt my son.

The eldest son, Wei Ke, works calmly. Although he has the style of being a father, he can complete his work impeccably while traveling in the mountains and rivers.

The second uncle Wei Min is a capable person, which is recognized by the entire Hedong and even the Han family. If it weren't for the orderly seniority, Wei Min would be more suitable than Wei Hao to be the head of the Wei clan. Otherwise, today's Weishi will only be stronger.

And Wei Min is also the only person in the Wei family who dares to sing against Wei Hao. Wei Hao loves Wei Cheng and doesn't let him be too tired, but Wei Min doesn't care. Cheng learned to ride and shoot, and almost killed Wei Cheng several times.

Even begging for Wei Cheng's wife was handled by Wei Min alone. At that time, all the aristocratic families in Hedong heard that they were going to marry their daughter-in-law to a sick and consumptive ghost, and they all avoided it. Promote the image of a young talent.

Only then did the various aristocratic families dispel their worries. Of course, Wei Yan also publicized the truth and did not push it too far. Otherwise, when the new daughter-in-law married in and found that Wei Cheng was nothing more than an idiot, sooner or later she would be disgusted by others. This is what he didn't want to see of.

That's why he taught Wei Cheng to read and write, recite classics of poetry, and teach the six arts of gentlemen since he was a child.

Now that Wei Yan is 'recovering from a serious illness' and looks healthier than normal, if Wei Yan finds out, he will definitely be stricter with him.

Cai Yan smiled without saying a word, just waiting to see Wei Cheng get embarrassed.

In all honesty, her husband can become even better, and she is also proud of it. He is better than Wei Hao. He loves Wei Teng too much. If there is no second uncle Wei Min who takes care of Wei Teng's growth, Wei Teng will be cultivated sooner or later. Become a dude.

The husband and wife returned to the shabby room.

As soon as he entered the yard, Wei Cheng saw Hao Niang and Xiao'e standing in the middle of the yard blushing.

Hao Niang was holding a water basin in her hand to sprinkle water, and Xiao'e was holding a broom in her hand to sweep the fallen leaves.

Seeing Wei Cheng walking in with Cai Yan, they bowed to Wei Cheng and Cai Yan at the same time, the embarrassment in their eyes became stronger, and they didn't even dare to look Wei Cheng directly.

Wei Cheng was stunned for a moment, not knowing why.

It was Cai Yan who walked up and asked with his ear, "Have you all put it on? How about it? Does it still fit you well?"

Hao Niang's face was already flushed behind the veil, she nodded lightly, and pulled Xiao'e to thank Cai Yan.

Cai Yan smiled slightly, pointed to Wei Cheng who was behind him who didn't know why, and said: "It's useless for you to thank me, it was made by my husband, I want to thank you to thank him, ha ha."

Hao Niang pulled Cai Yan's sleeve shyly, how dare she thank her in person for such a thing.

Xiao'e also blushed, she never expected such a strange thing to exist in the world, and after the monthly letter came, she was no longer afraid of it leaking out.

Cai Yan also knew that it was not easy to tell people about that kind of thing, she was just joking with the two of them.

Seeing that the two of them moved freely at this time, I was also happy for them, and said with a smile: "I will send a set to the sisters in the village later. With this, our women's life will be much easier, and we will no longer have to hide. Don't dare to go out of the house."

Hao Niang and Xiao'e smiled at each other, and nodded their thanks.

Cai Yan looked at Wei Cheng with a bright smile on his face, who wouldn't love such a considerate husband!

However, she didn't understand why the linings brought by her husband were different. Although one of the transparent and hollow fabrics was beautiful, she could wear it on her body... It's a bit shameful, could it be her husband's hobby?

"By the way, ma'am, the Xiyue Festival will be in two days. Shouldn't we prepare the Xiyue mooncakes?" After chatting for a while, Hao Niang suddenly reminded her, her eyes full of anticipation.

Cai Yan changed his expression, nodded and said: "I forgot that the Xiyue Festival is coming, it's okay, we will start making bean stuffing early in the morning, and there should be time."

She looked back at Wei Cheng and asked, "Husband, it will be the Xiyue Festival in two days. What are your plans?"

Wei Cheng was sitting at the stone table taking care of his medicinal materials, when he heard this, he was stunned, "Xiyue Festival?"

Cai Yan nodded and said: "August [-]th is the day to welcome the cold and celebrate the moon, and family reunion. At this time in previous years, my second uncle would come back. I think this year will be no exception. Shall we... go back?"

Wei Cheng frowned slightly, and thought to himself: It's so fast, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

After thinking about it, he shook his head resolutely and said, "With you and me, it's a reunion. We've been here this year. The pancakes you just mentioned are mooncakes. There's no need to make them. I've already prepared for it."

There is a fart to prepare, Wei Cheng just thinks that the timelines of the two time and space are the same, this side is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the other side should be the same, so go directly to the supermarket or bakery to buy some.

But Cai Yan's focus is no longer on pancakes.

She raised her beautiful eyes slightly, and looked at Wei Cheng tiredly: I said it, my husband told me sexually again, oh, it's so embarrassing.

···
The term Mid-Autumn Festival was first seen in Zhou Li. According to the ancient Chinese calendar, the [-]th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar falls in the middle of August in the autumn of a year, so it is called "Mid-Autumn Festival".

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the Mid-Autumn Festival became a fixed traditional festival. The popularity of the Mid-Autumn Festival began in the Song Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it has become as famous as New Year's Day and has become one of the main festivals in my country. This is also the second largest tradition in my country after the Spring Festival. festival.

Many people on the Internet say that the Mid-Autumn Festival originated in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, but it is not accurate. It only became a fixed festival at that time, but its existence can be traced back to the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is an ancient and traditional festival in my country.Whenever this time, the family reunion, happy and harmonious.As early as the Three Dynasties period, our country had the custom of "autumn twilight and twilight moon".Xiyue, that is, to worship the moon god.

The "Book of Rites" records: "The son of heaven springs to the sun, and the autumn to the moon", which shows that as early as the Spring and Autumn Period, emperors had already begun to sacrifice and worship the moon.Later, noble officials and literati followed suit one after another, and gradually spread to the people.

As one of the sacrificial activities of the ancient emperors, the Xiyue Festival cannot be canceled at will because of the struggle between the inner court and the relatives.

Coupled with the fact that the young emperor ascended for the first time, officials paid special attention to this eve of the moon festival.

And this just gave Zhao Zhong, Zhang Rang and others the opportunity to wait for the opportunity.

On the [-]th day of the eighth lunar month, early on in Luoyang City, some people took to the streets to sell xi moon cakes. This is a kind of food shaped like a moon plate, with a diameter of [-] to [-] centimeters and a thickness of [-] to [-] centimeters. The filling inside is mung bean. Or red beans, also with some mashed nut pieces.

Different from the small moon cakes of later generations, the current moon cake is more like a big cake, which needs to be cut and shared by the whole family.

Every Mid-Autumn Festival, every family sets up a large incense table in the yard, and puts moon cakes, watermelons, apples, red dates, plums, grapes and other sacrifices. Among them, moon cakes and watermelons are absolutely indispensable, and watermelons must be cut into lotus shapes.

Under the moon, the statue of the moon god is placed in the direction of the moon, the torch is lit high, and the whole family worships the moon god in turn, and then the housewife cuts the reunion mooncakes.Those who cut should count in advance the total number of people in the whole family. Those who are at home and those who are out of town should be counted together. It cannot be cut more or less, and the size should be the same.

When the emperor worships the moon, the courtiers must be present as "family members". Don't say anything, eating a piece of moon cake is always required.

This not only expresses the sense of belonging to the family and the country, but also a good opportunity for the courtiers to show their loyalty to the emperor, and being invited into the palace to participate in the moon sacrifice is an unparalleled honor in itself.

As a general, He Jin was ready to enter the palace today no matter how much he feared the eunuchs. It was just that he had made several preparations for this time.

According to the procedure, Shaodi Liu Bian first met with several ministers one by one. During this period, He Jin was also in the ranks of the interviewees, but he went his own way. He first went to meet his sister, Queen Mother He, and then went to meet his nephew, Shaodi Liu debate.

Although the courtiers were quite dissatisfied with this, they kept silent one by one.

Although the little Huangmen Jianshuo hated He Jin deeply, he didn't show it too much. After seeing He Jin, he respectfully called He Guojiu and chatted and laughed with He Jin.

He Jin didn't think too much about it, he just thought it was the eunuchs showing softness, after all, he now controls the power of soldiers and horses in the world, the [-] troops in the city are watching, and Dong Zhuo and other armies are waiting outside the city.

If it weren't for the fear that the scholar group represented by the Yuan family would reap the benefits of the fisherman, he would have already attacked the eunuch group formed by Zhang Rang and others.

Seeing Young Emperor Liu Bian, He Jin frowned slightly.

Shaodi Liu Bian is like a puppet on a string, and all daily life is under the control of eunuchs.

In the long run, it must be another Lingdi Liu Hong.

This is true for Liu Bian, under the psychological suggestion of Zhang Rang and others, he has no respect and kindness towards his uncle He Jin who is in power, but only full of fear in his heart.

He Jin bowed and clasped his fists in a salute, the armor on his body shining brightly under the light.

Young Emperor Liu Bian kept his eyes fixed on the saber on He Jin's waist.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang coughed lightly.

Liu Bian was startled for a moment, and then he pretended to be calm and said: "Uncle, there is no need to be polite, take your seat quickly."

The two young eunuchs began to send up wine, vegetables and fruits. Seeing this, He Jin sneered, and sat in the first seat on the left, scoffing at the delicacies on the table, for fear that the food would be tampered with.

Seeing this, Liu Bian at the top had a few drops of cold sweat on his forehead, and couldn't help but look at Zhang Rang at the side.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang shook his head vaguely at Liu Bian.

After all, Liu Bian was still young, only a teenager in his teens. Seeing that his plan was blocked, he felt anxious and couldn't hide it on his face.

The next head, He Jin, has never eaten those poisoned foods, so how can we get rid of this person who usurps his rights?

That's right, Liu Bian has been bewitched by Zhang Rang and others, and He Jin is really greedy for power, even his own sister, Queen Mother He, is quite afraid of him.

Today's Hongmen Banquet was specially prepared for He Jin.

Zhang Rang not only informed Liu Bian about the alliance between He Jin and the scholar group, but also exaggerated the description of the fact that Dong Zhuo and other soldiers had joined He Jin, making it seem like He Jin was about to seek to usurp the throne.

Liu Bian was still young, and had just been crowned a great treasure, so he believed Zhang Rangzhi's words so much that he agreed to cooperate in the execution of He Jin.

Their idea is very simple, kill He Jin, the chief of all evils, then the world will still be ruled by the emperor of Han Dynasty. As long as Liu Bian is the emperor one day, the power of eunuchs will never be weakened.

At this moment, Liu Bian's forehead was covered with cold sweat when he saw He Jin's slow reluctance to move his chopsticks.

Seeing this, Zhang Rang knew that the matter could not be dragged on like this, so he hurriedly winked at the little eunuch at the door.

The little eunuch's expression changed, and he opened the side door on the side of the main hall, only to see four or five beauties walking out of the door.The leading 'woman' is tall and tall, with a pair of flawless jade legs, and beautiful facial features, and her demeanor is full of blood.

The woman came to sit beside He Jin, put her hands on He Jin's broad shoulders naturally, and said with a blue breath: "General, I will serve you tonight."

He Jin frowned slightly, this woman is beautiful because of her beauty, her voice was a little hoarse and trembling, just about to say no, she suddenly felt a tingling pain in the back of her neck, and then felt her spine was soaked in liquid, warm The hot liquid soaked the inner shirt along the inner armor.

"How brave!"

He Jin yelled and pushed the woman away, but what he didn't expect was that the woman was so powerful, she hooked his right hand with both hands, and wrapped her legs up around his neck, in a strangling posture. I have practiced martial arts.

He Jin was terrified, and took a closer look, damn it, this girl has a huge monster at the base of her thigh.

"Straight mother thief, I will kill you!"

He Jin wanted to draw the saber with his left hand, but he didn't expect the other four women to immediately entangle him and work together to control his left hand.

The 'female' on He Jin's body let out a sonorous male voice at this time, shouting: "You dog thief, go to hell."

He pulled out a dagger from the bun on his head, pointed it at He Jin's throat, and slashed across.

It's too late, it's too soon.

He Jin was startled, and quickly lay down on the back. There was a big pillar behind him, and several women who worked together to control his left hand collided with it and lost their strength.

He Jin, who freed his left hand, grabbed the fallen candlestick again, pointed the spike that fixed the candle in it at the thigh on the neck, and stabbed it down.

The 'woman' who coiled He Jin exclaimed in pain, her legs inevitably loosened a little because of the severe pain.

He Jin, who had a chance to break free, swung the spikes and stabbed him more than ten times in a row. Seeing that he still didn't let go, he simply aimed at the opponent's back and abdominal cavity, and then he took the candlestick and stabbed him frantically. More than ten times.

Until the 'woman' collapsed to the ground, blood flowed from He Jin's side.

With a fierce look on his face, he got up and looked at Liu Bian, Zhang Rang and others who were on the stairs looking terrified.

"Zhuzi, dare you...I..."

Just as He Jin was about to get angry, he felt dizzy. He stretched out his hand to touch the back of his neck and pulled out a copper hairpin from his flesh.

"Poisonous, Shu Zi, Shu Zi... you... dare..."

'Plop'!
He Jin was bleeding from all seven orifices, and his whole body was limp on the ground, lying powerlessly on the steps, his bloody leopard eyes fixedly staring at the panic-stricken young emperor Liu Bian on the steps.

Beside, Zhang Rang saw that the plan had succeeded, and hurriedly shouted to the side hall: "Come on, come on, come on, save me, save me, General He Jin rebelled, intending to murder His Majesty, come and save me!"
