Destiny Only Han

Chapter 164 Passing the Fire
In the Dazheng Palace, after the ceremony of canonizing the queen and prince came to an end, the meritorious ministers began to be rewarded.

The first one to be crowned was Han Wangxin, who defeated Han Di. This time, he is really going to become king.

Zheng Chang, whom Xiang Yu hastily appointed, was born as a civil servant and was not proficient in the way of battle formation. In addition, Han Wangxin marched rapidly and he was the champion of the three armies, so Zheng Chang had no time to resist and surrendered helplessly.

It's just that when the ceremonial officer announced the edict, Han Xin Lancer, who was sitting in the top three of Hanchen, was slightly stunned. Although he heard that there was someone with the same name and surname as him, he had never seen it.

Liu Ying, who was able to sit under Majesty Dan and face the crowd because he was canonized as the prince, saw a flash of loneliness on Han Xin's face.

Liu Ying is guessing that maybe one day in the future, Han Xin's idea of ​​trying to crack the earth and seal the king stems from today's loneliness...

However, Han Wangxin has always been a guest general, and he also leads his own army, and these troops are also the main force to defeat Zheng Chang.

Therefore, it is natural for people to become kings, but Han Xin came alone, and he could not realize his ambition without relying on the platform Liu Bang built for him.

It's like starting a company to do business. A certain regional manager uses the boss's contacts to expand the branch's business, so he wants the boss to give him the branch, and then he gives the boss a symbolic gift every year. Gift……

This, presumably no boss would agree.

Well, even if the boss agrees, the other shareholders of the company will definitely feel resentment if they don't say anything.

…………

When the rewards are over, it's time for the carnival!
The reason why people in the palace, such as Fan Kuai, Xiahou Yingchongda and others, restrained themselves and sat down and waited obediently was that they were going to have a big meal after all the ceremonies were over!
In a big foodie empire, no matter what kind of festival it is, it will eventually become a dinner party.

Well, the reason why young people in later generations love foreign festivals is mostly to go back to the war years and experience the passion of the gunfire...

After Liu Ying canonized Han Wangxin, she got up and left the hall.

He has another job to do.

That is to be a 侲 (zhèn) boy, that is, the envoy who is responsible for presiding over the Nuo sacrifice ceremony and driving away evil spirits.

Qin Chengzhou system held several grand Nuo sacrifice ceremonies a year, such as Ji Chun, ordered Guo Nuo, and nine gates to gather to complete the spring air; Ji Dong, ordered Yousi Dano to send out cold air.

The Nuo sacrifice ceremony at the time of the La Festival is aimed at the three ghosts that have been passed down from ancient times.

According to old legend, there were three ghosts in ancient times, one lived in the river, and it was a tormenting ghost. It is said that this is a son of Zhuanxu; ghost.

A moment later, when the twilight was gradually approaching, the square outside the main hall was crowded with people, and soldiers holding torches surrounded it.

Liu Bang led Lu Zhi and appeared on the high platform. On his left were the courtiers of Han such as Xiao He and Cao Can, and on his right were Zhang Er, Han Wangxin and other guests from other countries.

On the square, Liu Ying was wearing black clothes and a red hat, holding a small and soft mahogany bow in her hand, and arrows made of thorns in the quiver at her waist.

On his left, Zhang Buyi stood side by side with him, holding the same bow and arrow in his hand, and in front of Liu Ying, was Liu Fei carrying a two-foot-long rattle.

Well, the real name of this kind of rattle is 大鼗[táo].

Liu Le, who ran over to join in the fun, was carrying a medicine bag, which contained "red pills" made from herbs such as pinellia and aconitum, as well as five grains.

At the front of the line is a tall and fat actor whose height is almost the same as that of Yao Ming. He wears a mask painted with gold lacquer on his face, a bearskin cloak behind him, and holds a three-bladed sword in his left hand. Holding a bronze shield in his right hand, he is wearing black clothes and Zhu clothes.

He plays Fang Xiangshi, who is similar to Zhong Kui and Shi Gandang in later generations, and is the god of exorcising ghosts and suppressing evil spirits.

After Fang Xiangshi, there are actors who play twelve kinds of beasts. These beasts are Fang Xiangshi's helpers, and they are also used to drive away ghosts and suppress evil spirits.

Suddenly, drums rumbled.

Liu Ying and other boys followed Fang Xiangshi, jumping forward with the sound of drums.

Every time the drum beat, the children dressed like Liu Fei shook the rattle twice, while Liu Ying and others drew their bows and swords and fired arrows in all directions.

As for a boy like Liu Le, he spread red pills and five grains in the direction of the arrow.

After a while, after the arrows and red pills and the five grains were exhausted, several court officials with loud voices stepped forward and shouted loudly:
"My son, please chase the epidemic."

So, Liu Ying, Zhang Buyi and the others mingled with the boys around them, pretending to be a rap, singing and dancing stiffly:

"Jia eats miscellaneous food, the stomach eats the tiger, the male uncle eats the charm, the simple food is ominous, the food is blamed, the Boqi eats the dream, Qiang Liang and Zu Ming eat together, the dead parasite, follow the food concept, wrongly break the food giant, Qiongqi and Tenggen eat Gu together. Whoever makes the twelve gods chase after the vicious ones, hews your body, pulls your body, joints your flesh, and sucks your lungs and intestines. Don't rush away, the latter is food."

So, the Book of Mountains and Seas is actually a cookbook from ancient times...

On the high platform, Lu Zhi looked at the pretending Liu Ying and Liu Le, and exhausted all his strength not to laugh out loud.

Suddenly, Liu Bang, who was beside her, gently pulled her hand, and swept his eyes to the right sideways.

"Look, that's the Zhang Ao I told you about."

Lu Zhi took a sneak peek and saw Zhang Ao standing over there. As Liu Bang said, he was handsome and handsome, not inferior to the ancient Xu Gong.

And before she came here, she also heard that Zhang Ao's father, the former Changshan King Zhang Er, ran to Henan Wang Shenyang alone, and persuaded him to surrender with his words!

Moreover, Liu Bang was allowed to remove Henan from the country and rename it to Henan County.

You know, that is a big county with a population of nearly one million!
After accepting two waves of immigrants, Hanzhong County has a population of only 50, and the area occupied by these two counties is actually quite different!
The most important thing is that when she was on the road, she once heard Liu Ying and Pangong whisper that they would send people to Yiyang County to recruit a group of skilled blacksmiths and send them to Dahan Coal and Iron Trading Company.

In other words, Henan County not only has a large population, but also has a well-developed industry and commerce.

Therefore, Zhang Er was able to obtain such a rich county for the Han Kingdom by virtue of his tongue, which shows that he really has some skills!
Therefore, it is actually a very cost-effective thing to form a family with his sons and daughters.

However, Lu's pheasant at this time is not a cold-blooded power animal.

Without having experienced the ravages of the frightening hostage life in those years, although her desire to control is increasing day by day, she is still a loving mother.

At this moment, in her heart, she remembered what Liu Ying said before.

"Zhang Ao is nearly 20 years older than his sister, and when his sister is able to marry, Zhang Ao will be almost forty!"Let's assume that he is in good health and has a long lifespan, and he will die after 30 years! '

'But what about my sister, my sister was 40 to [-] years old at the time, and she was still in her prime, so she was going to be a widow alone, or marry again, help others with housework, help others raise children and grandchildren? '

'Mother, isn't this pushing my sister into the fire pit? '

Lu Zhi looked at Liu Le, who was playing happily in the square, and felt pity in his heart.

This is her daughter, although she is a bit stupid, a bit gluttonous, a bit playful, a bit idle...

But... this is her only daughter!
Zhang Ao is a good man, but he may not be her good son-in-law.

Therefore, she is going to delay the matter of getting married between the two families. She believes that Zhang Er is a smart person and should understand her thoughts.

Lu Zhi had made up his mind, so he withdrew his gaze from Liu Le, and when his gaze passed Liu Ying, he inadvertently saw a beautiful face.

Zhang Buyi.

She secretly glanced at Zhang Liang who was in the corner beside her, and a bold idea suddenly appeared in her heart.

Zhang Liang's ability is more than ten times better than that of Zhang Er!
If we marry him as in-laws, it will be a profitable business for both Han Guo and Liu Ying.

Moreover, Zhang Buyi and Liu Le are about the same age, and now they live in Nanzheng Palace at the same time. In Liu Ying's words, they are childhood sweethearts!

The most important thing is that Zhang Buyi is beautiful!
Although my daughter followed his father and was ugly, but after marrying a beautiful man, the child born had a half chance of being a beautiful child!

In other words, within a few years, she will have one, or several beautiful grandchildren!
For a moment, Lu Zhi's eyes lit up, and he looked up and down Zhang Buyi with the eyes of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.

So, she felt that Zhang Buyi was more and more beautiful!

People are more angry than people. Although her son is always better than her own, at this moment she feels that her son is not as good-looking as her prospective son-in-law...

Hmph, it's all because someone is ugly!

Lu Zhi withdrew his gaze, and glared at Liu Bang angrily, making Liu Bang's face full of question marks.

Well, this might be the climacteric syndrome that kid was talking about... Liu Bang secretly nodded in his heart, waiting for the end of the grand Nuo ceremony below.

On the square, Zhang Buji trembled, his heart was a little hairy, so he looked at the twelve ferocious beasts dancing in front of his eyes, and suddenly became more frightened.

He slowly moved to Liu Ying's side: "Today, we sleep together..."

At home, Zhang Liang always faced him as a strict father, and it was impossible for him to share the same bed.

Liu Ying raised her face and saw a cute with big eyes with a pointed chin, so her eyes lit up and she nodded heavily.

After a while, the ceremony was over, Liu Bang stepped down from the high platform, took the torch from Fang Xiangshi, and threw it into the oiled pyre.

As a result, the flames soared into the sky.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of carefully selected Liangjiazi who were not only required to be good-looking, but also to have excellent riding skills stepped forward, lit the torches in their hands, and walked around the field after a week.

They want to spread the fire of exorcism here to every inch of the country.

On the streets outside the palace, there were countless cheers.

Liu Ying felt that they were more cheering for the duke who was conferred the title of queen.

But no matter what, at this moment, in the land of Guanzhong, everyone is united!
