The Rise of the Cold Gate in the Eastern Jin Dynasty

Chapter 156 The Most Important Day

Today is a very special day!
Because a grand gathering comparable to the nine years of Yonghe is about to be staged.

In terms of staffing alone, it is not comparable to the Ninth Year of Yonghe. The participants of this rally can be divided into several levels:

First, eat melons and watch customers.

Emperor Sima Dan, an ordinary emperor, was named Xiaozong.

During the Han Dynasty, the temple name was a summary of an emperor’s life. It was very sacred and could only be obtained by the king who made great contributions to the country. There were a total of seven emperors in the Han Dynasty who had temple names.

By the time of the Three Kingdoms period, the temple name became a commodity on the street, and Sima Dan got a temple name from it, probably because he really had nothing to show for his achievements, so he mixed up a "filial piety".

Sima Dan came to the throne two times, and died before 20 years old. Since the founding of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has been more than 30 years. He is the fifth emperor, assisted by He Chong, Cai Mo, Kuaiji King Sima Yu and others. Zi Regent, a legendary woman, can she not be "filial"?

In Chinese history, there were three people who were also "Xiaozong". The second one was Zhao Min, Xiaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. We can understand this emperor mainly because he vindicated the Yue Fei case during his reign, and his rule of law was quite good.

The third is the famous Emperor Xiaozong Zhu Youtang of the Ming Dynasty. He took over the throne from his father and created "Hongzhi ZTE". host.

Therefore, Sima Dan's achievements are not one or two points worse than those of these two, but during the "Yonghe" and "Shengping" periods, many major events occurred, the most famous being the Shanyin Orchid Pavilion in the ninth year of Yonghe.

Secondly, at the beginning of Sima Dan's succession to the throne, the Yu brothers (Yu Bing, Yu Yi) wanted to repeat the old tricks and wanted to gamble on the success of Conglong, but they bet on the wrong team, and they were liquidated by Chu Suanzi afterwards. The basic plan was taken over by Huan Wen.

As a result, the Yu family, which started from foreign relatives, began to decline, and Huan Wen began to rise.

The rally in the second year of Shengping was so loud that Sima Dan, who was 15 years old, heard about it in the palace. The gathering held by Situ Mansion was placed in the "Hua Lin Garden".

Moreover, the boring Empress Dowager Chu Suanzi will also attend the gathering. As we all know, the Yu family is gradually declining under the hands of Chu Suanzi, and this time, Chu Suanzi will be a witness, which is no coincidence.

Second, the planner.

Situ Sima Yu, Xie An, Wang Tanzhi, Wang Biaozhi, Diao Yi and other royal gentry classes are not limited to this, and many famous families will also attend to participate in the grand event.

Third, the Yu family.

A group of Yu's children, represented by Yu Ran, is bound to avenge their shame by killing the fledgling Xiao Qinzhi and revive the Yu family.

Fourth, Xiao Qinzhi.

A young man who justified his own name, a young man who was pushed to the front stage for no reason, a young man who could not help himself, and a young man who fought for her.

In short, due to various chances and coincidences, this gathering came into being and attracted countless eyes.

Jiankang "Hualin Garden" was built in imitation of Hualin Garden in Luoyang. It is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city, from Qinhuai River west to Yundu, to the northwest corner of the imperial city.

Although "Hualin Garden" is not as grand and exquisite as Luoyang, it still has everything it should have. There are mountains in the northwest and ponds in the southeast. The basic pattern is "one pool and three mountains". Jingyang Mountain", "Huaguang Palace", "Jiuhua Terrace", "Tianyuan Pool" and so on.

At that time, it was said that there was a sea in "Hualin Garden", and "Penglai Mountain" was built. "Huatai" is also in the sea, and there is a "Qingliang Hall" on it, which is a good place to enjoy the cool and summer heat.

The venue for this gathering is Jiuhuatai, a huge platform more than ten feet high, cut from mountains and filled with stones, and built by building blocks. You can overlook the panoramic view of Hualin Garden, facing the wind and the morning glow, which is quite ethereal.

Inside the Qingliang Hall, it has already been set up, there are many cases, drinks and drinks are all available, the emperor and the empress dowager are the most noble, and they sit in high positions with luxurious tables and clothes. The errand boy, who also has to be able to read and write, in order to send the content of this meeting back to each family in time, just like a live broadcast.

Xiao Qinzhi was led by Xie Xuan, mainly because Xu Miao and Zhao Yunfei were not qualified to attend, Xiao Qinzhi was a stranger at first, and wanted to find a corner where no one was around to observe and observe, just as one of today's protagonists , I don’t even want to be eye-catching.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, Xiao Qinzhi stepped forward, and first bowed to the emperor, the empress dowager and other famous people, during which the empress dowager Chu Suanzi asked a few words, and gave a jade ruyi as a reward.

Here, after a few days in Jiankang, Xiao Qinzhi showed his big face in front of the dignitaries for the first time, but Xiao Qinzhi knew the secret of pretending to be coercive, he must not be excited, he had to behave neither humble nor overbearing, correct and generous , it seems that such a big scene is not worth talking about before it can be well received.

In fact, Xiao Qin's costume is very good, and every move is deeply rooted in the essence of this era. In addition, he is good-looking, which greatly adds points. Not surprisingly, he gave everyone a good first impression, but that's all, barely Get a good look, who let Xiao Qinzhi not come from a high family background!

Holding a grand gathering is not a treat for guests. There is a process, and it is even accurate to the specific opening time, seat location, etc., and there is no sloppy at all, especially when the emperor and queen mother are present, they are very particular, so everyone still compares Restraint, although some people are already eye-catching and ready to fight.

This is due to the fact that Chinese people pay attention to "fighting without breaking", that is, the scene must be seen in the past, and it is obvious that there is going to be a battle, and it has to be done in a gentle manner. For example, this rally, everyone knows that the battle will be fierce, but they have to come up First drink and feast, and wait until it is almost time to start.

It would be very unrefined and not in line with the habits of celebrities and refined scholars to engage in battle at the first sight. Therefore, generally speaking, it was peaceful for the time being, with mingled cups of wine, laughter, and lively conversation.

I don't know if the person who arranged the seats had an enmity with Yu Ran on purpose, but arranged Yu Ran's seats after Wang Tanzhi and Xi Chao. In terms of official positions, the two of them are really higher than Yu Ran. The key point is that Wang Tanzhi sipped a glass of wine, and joked with Yu Ran in a very calm manner: "Why don't you sit and drink with me?"

An angry Yu Ran almost yelled, and a group of Yu's children behind glared angrily. Then Xi Chao continued his efforts and provocatively said, "Same drink but different sitting!"

Yu Ran took a deep breath, knowing that the two were no match for the talk, so she turned her head and stared fiercely at the last seat, Xiao Qinzhi, who was negotiating with others, was well-dressed and personable, just like a flirtatious young man.

Xiao Qinzhi met many old acquaintances, not to mention the Xie brothers, the depressed Wang brothers were also there, as well as Gu Kaizhi, Lu Chu, Zhang Xuanzhi and others. next thing.

It is very strange that Xiao Qinzhi was born in the last class of gentry, but for some reason, he got mixed up in the top class circle, and it seemed that he did not feel at all disobedient, even some young talents from the great family of Jiankang did not see him. Can be accepted by this circle.

Xie Xuan was very dedicated to his work. Before he left, he received the instructions from his elder sister, and began to introduce who was present for Xiao Qinyi, and suddenly met Yu Ran's malicious eyes.

Xiao Qinzhi didn't have any grievances at all, he even toasted with wine in lieu of courtesy, with a smile on his face, in the eyes of others, it was a show of self-restraint, in fact, if he could open Xiao Qinzhi's heart, he would definitely be scolding his mother at this moment.

Such occasions also have another function, which is to get acquainted with each other, to draw in relationships, and to provide a place for everyone to mingle with each other. This model has continued for thousands of years since then.

Well, let's not say much, because the banquet is halfway through, and the good show has begun.

[I don't have a eunuch, but recently, I am obsessed with Ming history, hehe,,,,,,]
