After Shao Song

Chapter 6 Ten Years of Time
In any case, the officials came back before the Chinese New Year. Not to mention the civil and military officials of the court, even the ordinary people in the capital seemed to feel more at ease.

After the Zhengdan Dynasty, there is a seven-day holiday as always, which also announces the arrival of the 11th year of Jianyan.

At this time, there were rumors that because the Jin Kingdom was completely eliminated and Jingkang was avenged, the officials were overjoyed and finally decided to allocate special funds to restore the lantern sheds during the Lantern Festival to enjoy the people.

The so-called lamp shed and lamp mountain are large-scale lamps and lanterns piled up by royal edict craftsmen who have been building piles since the New Year. The shapes and sizes vary every year. Among them, the taller ones are almost as high as the Xuande Building, and the wider ones Almost on the same level as Yujie.

In fact, every year on the second day of the Shangyuan Festival holiday, that is, on the night of Shangyuan Day, the common people in Tokyo often occupy seats on both sides of the Royal Street from the daytime, waiting for the lamp hills and lamp sheds at night. The ignition... This is just like the Spring Festival Gala in later generations. Regardless of whether it looks good or not, it is always a specific repertoire and it is the main show. (quoted from the original text)

However, experienced Tokyo citizens don’t really believe it. With the stinginess of our officials, if we have the money, we will definitely build a new capital, regulate the Yellow River, or reduce taxes for the disaster-stricken areas. When Empress Dowager Yuanyou returned to Beijing The rumors were more vivid than this, but what happened, a lottery ticket was sent.

It can only be said that it has been almost ten years, and the people in the capital have understood the virtues of the boss.

However, thinking about the shocking Jurchen captives entering the city this fall, those who have truly experienced the shame of Jingkang will remain silent when others tease the officials for their instigation.

The former Taishang Daojun emperor was very proud, and then what!

However, Zhao Guanjia always uses some actions to show that he is still somewhat similar to his nominal father, for example, he is really willful.

Just when everyone is preparing to spend this Shangyuan Festival without any hope, the women compatriots also plan to go out to the streets and alleys to enjoy the Song Dynasty carnival night on the five days before and after the Shangyuan Festival. When there were any new tricks, I was surprised to find that starting from the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, Kaifeng Mansion began to arrange lamps and lamp sheds on both sides of Xuande Building.

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when night falls, a lamp shed is set up in front of every house, and they have to hang up the lights and create elaborate fireworks.A shed was tied up indoors and five-color screens and cannon lights were placed.Up and down the Royal Street, there are countless lights.In front of the Bronze Buddha Temple, there is an Aoshan mountain with a green dragon coiled on it and hundreds of lanterns surrounding it.In front of Cuiyun Tower, there is also an Aoshan mountain with a white dragon coiled on it and countless lights on all sides.

There are literally millions of people in and out of Tokyo and in the countryside, but they inevitably come to Xuande Tower after walking around, as if they are expecting something.

Sure enough, when the unitary hour came and night fell, Kaifeng Prefect Yan Xiaozhong wore a purple robe and shouted "Lights up."

In an instant, the whole city of Tokyo seemed to be shrouded in five colors, and even Yan Dayin's dark face was reflected in the glittering lights. Of course, no one was paying attention to him now.

Because, from the Jinming Pond not far away, there was a faint sound of singing. Someone was curious and walked a few steps to check. They saw that the double-decker dragon boat was also filled with lanterns, the firelight flickered, and there were more than a dozen singing and dancing people wearing long silk gowns on the boat. Ji, dancing in the snow and mud like a giant, singing and dancing, making all kinds of graceful gestures, charming but not vulgar.

And paired with the guqin, Qiang and flute, the lyrics are clearly:
Dongfeng night flowers and thousands of trees.

It blows down and the stars are like rain.

BMW engraves the car and the road is full of fragrance.

The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

Moer snow willow golden strands.

The smile was filled with fragrance.

People look for him thousands of Baidu.

Looking back suddenly, the man was there, in a dimly lit place.Zong Ying, who was in the private house at home, was wearing filial piety clothes, and there was no such thing as a marriage between the clan and Lady Yanyun in her mind. She just brought a large family in the courtyard, and solemnly invited out the spiritual seat of King Zongze, Chu Zhongwu of the Great Song Dynasty, and placed it in the courtyard. In the yard, ask your father to see the prosperity of Tokyo and the peace of the world.

Father, everything the government promised you has been fulfilled. My son will pay homage at home today. I hope you rest in peace.

At the same time, in the Daqing Hall in the palace, a group of civil and military officials were sitting beside Zhao Guan's family. Listening to the singing, they all felt some indescribable feelings in their hearts.

Eight years ago, the imperial chariot from the official family returned to the old capital and presented Zong Liushou with a poem that was the envy of all the princes at the time. Now that they have decided to move the capital, the official family must have made an exception and allowed this person to be honored on the anniversary of his death. An old man who spent his life for Tokyo glanced at the prosperity of Shili from the sky.

Fortunately, otherwise the ministers, especially the generals, might have been even more nervous.

It's not their fault, because the place where Zhao Guan's family held a banquet had a major event 170 years ago, called "a cup of wine to release military power."

Coincidentally, today, except for Xu Jingheng, the returned minister, who returned to Beijing to report on his duties, and Zhang Jun, the privy envoy who was the highest military attaché, the others were all military generals, and all of them made great contributions to the Northern Expedition.

However, some people didn't care. The first was Han Shizhong. He became the deputy privy envoy and completed the epic achievement of becoming a general and becoming a prime minister.To say he was worried, he was also worried that excessive massacres in the Yanyun land would cause dissatisfaction among the officials. However, he was relieved after the advice of his most admired civil servant Hu Yin. What he is thinking about now is that next time he returns to his hometown, he must ask me what he gave me back then. Is the old fortune teller still there? I need to give him an extra sum of money. Even if the fortune teller is so accurate, he has to give it to my son.

I have to say one more thing here. Hu Yin knew Han Shizhong’s so-called academic level, so his words were particularly straightforward: Have you seen officials wearing jade belts again?Since you don't have it, what are you thinking about? Since the officials are using you, how can they not know what kind of virtue you are, Han Shizhong?If I really care about you, why should I be the prime minister of the King of Qin?
It can only mean that one thing reduces another thing.

After King Qin of Han, of course, King Yue Fei of Wei, who had just returned, was really under a lot of pressure from public opinion during this period, so we have to believe that Prince Consort Xiao Yue definitely received more than twenty blows from the military stick.In the final analysis, the reason is that in order to concentrate his troops during the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei used the power of independence given to him by Zhao Guan's family and exposed the entire Tokyo, including hundreds of royal nobles, dignitaries, to the cavalry of the Jin Army. If it weren't for the Secret Pavilion, The whole team worked together and almost caused unrest in Tokyo.

Although Zhao Guan's family stood up for him afterwards and others did not dare to say anything, it was inevitable to hold grudges.Even the empress dowagers who lived in seclusion had quite a few complaints, but they did not dare to say a word when Zhao Guan's family said, "It is very safe to be enfeoffed. Who is willing to go to the Shaolin Temple to accompany the Supreme Emperor to worship the Buddha?"

But for Yue Fei, he never knew how desperate he was in the other world. Now he only feels that he has gone straight to Huanglong, regained his homeland, and has no regrets in this life.He doesn't care about military power or anything like that, and he can accept it if he really goes home to farm.Oh, by the way, his mother was still arguing that she had raised their brothers in vain. Not only was Yue Fei fighting all day long, but her youngest son Yue Fan also got the position of Wuqing County Magistrate through Enyin. She could only bring her daughter-in-law to the land she had longed for half her life. Take care of.

The third person is Qi Wang Zhang Jun, who has been idle recently. He is even more free and easy.A few years ago, the right army of the imperial camp was managed by his son-in-law Tian Shizhong. Now his thoughts are all on overseas trade. Don't mention it. Since the victory of the Northern Expedition, the countries have been shocked. The royal sea trade under his leadership has made a qualitative leap. The family can hardly pretend to be helpless. In this case, he might not be happy if you ask him to lead the army again?Might as well think about expanding the warehouse.

The fourth person was Zhang Rong, King of Lu, who was brought back to discuss how to arrange the distribution of the navy. He should be the most nervous. After all, there are a large number of warships on the Yellow River that are of no use anymore, but some must be left on the Hexi side to guard against the West. The Liao Dynasty did not emphasize military ethics, but given that the southwest region was infested with bandits, it was best to have naval forces stationed there.In this way, his direct lineage will inevitably be broken up, but Zhang Rong has his own rules for survival. From the dialogue "You are an official, do you also know the difficulties of the common people?", he has completely believed that the official is a loyal person. Since a good official can make the people live a good life, he will not only care about himself, otherwise it would be too unloyal for him to be a leader.

The four princes were all so calm and calm, which objectively eased the atmosphere, which made the few warriors below sigh with emotion. No wonder they were princes and could not even join the county king. Look at their psychological quality.

But at this time, Zhao Guanjia, who was sitting at the top, said something nonsensical, "The flow of the Huai River has been going on for ten years."

Others were fine, but Xu Jingheng and Zhang Jun immediately recalled the orange lights filling the river on the way to Nanyang to fight against the Jin Dynasty. They also remembered Zhao Guan's words, "I was in a hurry and couldn't wait for the Bagongshan Cemetery." It was built to offer sacrifices, so that it can shed light and feed the souls of dead soldiers."

That night, thousands of streams of light and dots of stars swayed eastward along the Huaihe River, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, just like a dream.Some literati said that it was just like Tokyo in its heyday.

　Readers may have noticed that I originally wanted to write and play from the perspective of a military commander, but suddenly the Lantern Festival came and Zong Zhongwu had to appear.

　　As for the chapter of Liuguang at that time, it had a great impact on me. The four generals who appeared had plots. Of course, the Zhao Guan family did not want to withdraw military power, he still wanted to conquer many places.He won't learn the self-destructive martial arts from his nominal ancestor Gaolianghe Cha Shen.

　　In addition, I wrote a lot of typos, thank you for correcting me, I will correct it when I see it.
