Liao Zhai Zi is silent

Chapter 252

As night fell, the lights in the Forbidden City began to dim.

Emperor Qian Yong, connected with the harem concubines, the queen mother, ministers above the first rank and their wives, princes, county kings, and their concubines Fujin, famous in Buddhism and Taoism.

They had a feast together in the Qianqing Palace, and dozens of elderly people over 90 years old sat in the Qianqing Palace.

Give me a drink.He also ordered the prince, grandson, and great-grandson to toast in turn in the hall.

Those under ninety will have an open-air banquet outside the Qianqing Palace.

Emperor Qian Yong sat on the main seat, smiled slightly, and seemed very satisfied.

Feel free to look at the list of gifts from officials handed in by He Shen.

As a madman of stamping, the psoriasis patient of Jueluo's family likes all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings the most.

For example, the authentic works of Mi Fu, the authentic works of Yan Zhenqing, or the authentic works of Wu Daozi.

At this time, there were many good things on the gift list, so they all approved the word "reward".

As a representative of the stingy, the emperors of the Manchu Dynasty often rewarded not gold and silver, but some vain things, such as giving yellow belts, yellow jackets, etc. These are still good.

It's more about rewarding a dish, a jug of wine, and a dessert.He thinks that others can't eat it, so he doesn't know that other people actually eat it better than him. For example, the famous "Jiang Shilang Tofu" line: Poor Long Live God, how could he have eaten this before!

According to historical records, Emperor Qian Yong likes to reward ministers with boiled pork for sacrifices. Among them, the minister of humerus rewards pig's trotters, but they are usually thrown away by the ministers.

As for giving gold, giving silk and satin, giving official kilns... that's something else, most of them are given to show off their wealth when foreign envoys come.

At this time, these old men who came to participate in the banquet of thousands of old men were rewarded by Emperor Qian Yong with the dove stick, which is also the longevity stick.

Other officials gave Ruyi, Chaozhu, Zengqi, Mink, Wenwan, silver medals and so on.

Seeing these old men, weeping with gratitude, kowtowed their heads to thank them, and drank the royal wine, their faces flushed and their spirits glowed.

At the same time, the worshipers in the court took out a screen and asked Emperor Qian Yong to inscribe the word "longevity".

Emperor Qian Yong was very satisfied, and said: "Since the Qin and Han Dynasties, there have been 190 out of [-] people who have been called emperors. Their enjoyment lasts as long as mine. Today is a longevity celebration to celebrate peace."

Immediately, the pen took the lead and wrote the word "longevity" on the screen.

The emperor left the calligraphy, and invited the concubines, queen mothers, princes, princes and grandchildren... Civil and military officials, long-lived old people.

They all write the word "longevity" on this screen.

Those Buddhist and Taoist figures secretly cast spells, and saw that many old people in the palace had banquets in funnel costumes.

On both sides, two big bronze mirrors appeared at some unknown time, with blessing written on one side and longevity written on the other.

The mage enshrined in the palace began to practice, ingesting the long-lived numbers of these long-lived old men, and pouring them into Emperor Qian Yong's body along the mouth of the funnel.

Emperor Qian Yong only felt more and more energetic, while those old men became more and more sleepy, or felt a little dizzy due to a gust of wind after drinking.

Among them, the centenarian in the form of a boa-robed eunuch saw this scene and couldn't help cursing secretly: "This dog emperor actually used this kind of evil magic to prolong his life, which is more evil than our drought... No, this magic has also been used by Kang Ma , he just copied it."

"Which old man here today has the longest lifespan?"

The eunuch in the python robe stood up tremblingly: "Cao Min pays homage to His Majesty!"

The eunuch next to him hurriedly came to help him.

"Free ceremony, free ceremony!" Emperor Qian Yong was very curious: "What's your name?"

"Your Majesty, this old man's name is Guo Zhongyue, and he is 140 years old this year!" He Shen flattered.

The python-robed eunuch was in the relationship with Heshen, who was chosen, and Heshen himself also wanted to find an old man with the longest lifespan to congratulate Qian Yong on his 50th anniversary, so it hit it off.

"Oh, reward!" Qian Yong waved his hand, and rewarded a yellow mandarin jacket, which was worn by the eunuch in python robe.

"Bah! The clothes of the Tartars!" The eunuch in python secretly disliked him.

But the seat was closer to Emperor Qian Yong.

At this time, Emperor Qian Yong saw Ji Xiaolan's gift list, some ginger, and couldn't help being furious: "Well, Ji Xiaolan, I think you don't want to live anymore, today is a happy day, use this to entertain me!"

Ji Xiaolan hurriedly came out and kowtowed: "Long Live Lord, what I present is a barrel of ginger! You can see that the layers of ginger in this barrel are like mountains, so the name of this gift is a barrel of ginger (Jiang) mountain .”

Although Emperor Qian Yong felt that this thing was useless, this statement made Longyan very happy. The older he was, the more he liked to hear such festive words.

He Shen was at the side: "Can this be fooled?" If someone looked at it, he would find that He Shen's soul was revealed as a white wolf at this time, while Qian Yong was an old dragon, and all civil and military officials, They all look like beasts, because the patches on the official robes are all beasts, so the person is also a beast in clothes.

But some of them are just manifestations of official spirit, while others are real monsters in human skin, just like that of Langzhi County.

Among them was the Mongolian living Buddha, who turned out to be a centipede that already had the appearance of a dragon.

All these put pressure on the boa-robed eunuch. It might not be so easy to assassinate Emperor Qian Yong.

"Since you said so, then I will forgive you this time, and if you suffer like this next time, you will definitely be punished."

"Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

"Haha, don't rush to thank you. I know you have a good literary talent. I have a pair. If you are right, you will pass. If you are not right, you will be fined three glasses of wine."

"Your Majesty, please come up with a question!" Ji Xiaolan felt that pairing with Qian Yong was like playing house with a child.

After all, a gifted scholar with more than 4 poems in his life, on average, a few poems a day... the level that even toilet paper smells bad.

"The flower armor reopens, plus three to seven years." Emperor Qian Yong thought for a while, and felt that it was ingenious.

Next to him, He Shen immediately boasted: "Two Jiazi are 120 years old, and if you add Sanqi 21, you will be 140 years old. Your majesty is very talented, and it is difficult for ordinary people to match!"

He is also a Jinshi, and he has a great literary talent. How can he not tell the good or the bad?

It's hard blowing.

In the next second, I heard Ji Xiaolan blurt out: "The ancient times are double celebrations, and there is one more spring and autumn."

"Hahaha!" An awkward yet polite smile...

"Not bad, not bad!" Emperor Qian Yong has become a classic, making people around him remember it, and it is considered a joint creation, which can be bragged about.

Outside the palace, undercurrents surged, and a large number of believers approached the palace in the name of celebration.

Lion dancers, dragon dancers, wandering gods, a lot of chaos.

The flames are soaring into the sky, gongs and drums are beating, with a mysterious and tense atmosphere.

The people couldn't take their eyes off and didn't know where to look. The man on stilts was wearing a mask, holding a torch, and spraying kerosene from his mouth, which caused people to exclaim.

And Lin Zhuming was also here at this time.
