Wushuang Wudi of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 95 The Day of Celebration
"Okay, let's move!" Lu Bu directly dispatched [-] soldiers to start laying out the streets overnight, making the final preparations.

The soldiers felt a little novel about this order and accepted the task happily.They lined up, lifted up the ladder, and carried lanterns one by one. As they moved forward, they took the opportunity to look at it curiously.This is a lantern?Many people have seen it, but it is the first time they have seen so many lanterns, and they find it very interesting.

The soldiers walked along the main street, and at the same time began to hang up the bright red lanterns one by one, and hung or pasted red cloth on the pillars called "que".Gradually, the festive red color began to spread, and more and more, until finally, it densely covered the entire Chang'an city.

This group of soldiers transferred from Lu Bu's direct troops returned to the camp. When they returned, they all received a beautiful red Hanfu as a reward.Tomorrow, they will put on these Hanfu and have a city parade.

Early the next morning, the people of Chang'an City who got up early to celebrate the festival were startled by the sound of "crackling", they opened the gates one after another, and went out to wait and see.But he was stunned by the scene in front of him.The streets were clean and tidy, and the entire city of Chang'an turned into a sea of ​​red.Lanterns are hung high one by one, fluttering in the wind, and strips of red cloth are swinging and flying with the wind.

Festive and peaceful, grand and spectacular.

"Wow!" The people shouted in amazement, and then they cheered, calling their friends and friends, and came out to watch.

Boom boom boom!la la la!There was a loud beating of gongs and drums.The people hurriedly waited curiously, and saw groups of young men in bright red Hanfu, beating gongs and drums, blowing and beating, coming all the way, passing by all the streets.

Among their ranks, there is an iron plate, and inside, a section of bamboo is burning, making a crackling sound, and all kinds of happy sounds gather to form a joyful song.The team paraded forward, very lively, and a large number of people boldly followed behind. This team became bigger and bigger, forming a beautiful landscape in Chang'an City.

Dragon swimming, lion dance.

Two more teams came out from the General's Mansion to join the parade, which made Chang'an City even more lively, and more people came out to watch. The craftsmen took the opportunity to take out the unique handicrafts and sell them.The team grew stronger and stronger.

They walked around the main streets of Chang'an City for a while, and finally returned to the General's Mansion.

The people couldn't stop cheering, laughing and laughing, they were a little unsatisfied and refused to leave.Lu Bu simply took out a batch of five baht coins and threw them out to everyone.The atmosphere was suddenly very lively, everyone was satisfied now, and they left while saying thank you to Marquis Wen.I have to go home and prepare for the New Year.

Next, it is naturally a reward for ordinary soldiers. Those who follow Marquis Wen and work hard should not be underestimated.Of course, in the army, order always comes first, and the celebration activities should not make the barracks chaotic, it would be ridiculous.Although a string of thirty five baht coins is not a lot, it also makes the soldiers happy.

Previously, Dong Zhuo was in chaos and minted worthless small coins, which could not be bought at all. Fortunately, with Marquis Wen, he abolished small coins and re-used the five baht coins that were recognized by the common people. something.

With a bumper harvest in autumn, the ratio of copper coins to grain finally returned to a reasonable range.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" The soldiers yelled, and those who had vacations simply ran out to various cities in Chang'an City to have fun and buy a lot of things.Those who didn't have their turn to go on vacation had to hold back, or pay the "errand fee" painfully, and asked their comrades in arms to help.

The generals who went through life and death and followed him to fight also got an extra reward for the New Year.So, if Lu Bu would bring 10 people into battle at every turn, there would be no spare money to buy people's hearts! 10,000+ soldiers, 1000 copper coins per person, plus the rewards of the generals, but more than [-] million copper coins, exchanged for grain, tens of thousands of shi!

In Lu Bu's hands, excluding the fixed and already consumed part of the 73 shi (enough for 10 people a year) of grain, he has only about 27 shi. After the New Year's activities, he will have to spend 7 to 8 shi , can make Lu Bu feel bad!However, the circulation of money and food is ultimately taken from the people and used for the people, as long as it is not wasted or rotted, it is fine.In the end, it was Lu Bujun who got the benefits!
Next, Lu Bu took all court officials and important generals to the imperial palace to give His Majesty the emperor a "New Year's greeting" and present some treasures, and then there was the Great Court Meeting, which was an event held by the emperor and his courtiers on important days in the Han Dynasty.The little emperor was young, and Lu Bu took over the main affairs without hesitation.

There are also royal sacrifices.

The mighty team started from the imperial palace and traveled all the way south to the south city of Chang'an City. They first worshiped the heavens, and then went to the solemn Taimiao to worship the ancestors of the Han family.It is ironic to say that these buildings were first built by Wang Mang.Who is Wang Mang, but the conspirator who usurped the Western Han Dynasty, but, in the end, he took advantage of the founding king of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Guangwu.

There is also a lot of prayers to be read during the worship, praying for good weather, good harvests, and peace in the world...

After the fun was over, all the officials naturally had to come to the General's Mansion.If you don't have this kind of awareness, then you don't want to be an official. It's better to go back to farming and become a landlord.

Lu Bu had also been prepared for a long time. After being polite to each other and exchanging gifts, he led a group of people to the hall to watch the ceremony.The stage has been set up with wooden planks and bamboo for a long time.The curtain is lifted, and people of these times are stupefied, novel and interesting, but not extravagant.

Groups of singers and dancers came up, singing and dancing.

On the stage, it is naturally a place for banquets that pay attention to order.Everyone sat down step by step according to their seniority, age, official position, relationship with Lu Bu, etc.

"Everyone! Relying on your majesty's great blessings and your strong support, I defeated those rebellious officials and thieves. Now, the Guanzhong area has finally returned to peace. However, the world is still in chaos! From now on, I hope you will continue to help me Give me a helping hand! I offer a toast to everyone!" Lu Bu, who was not wearing battlefield armor, but in ordinary clothes, also had a unique majesty.He first toasted the army and spoke.

"Thank you, Marquis Wen!" Everyone hurriedly returned their salutes and said one after another.

Ting Wei Zhang Zhong, and Yang Zan who moved to the Shangshu as the Shaofu, as the most official and most senior minister of the Jiuqing, according to the rules, he was the first to speak, "Please rest assured, Marquis Wen, relying on your majesty's blessings, we will definitely work with Marquis Wen to defeat Those rebellious officials and thieves, return the big man to peace!" They echoed.

Vibrate the painting halberd to control the sea,
Drive the red rabbit and sweep the four directions;
Warriors follow and decide Liuhe,

Zhou Gong vomited his dried fruit, and he was in peace!

Lu Bu suddenly sang a poem, which startled everyone.These words are very heroic, yes, although they are not very literary, they are very majestic and magnificent.However, this meaning is somewhat hard to say!It is very similar to Jia Yi's description of Qin Shihuang back then!The emperor...the people had no choice but to pretend that they didn't understand the meaning. Although everyone would listen to what you said, Lu Bu, but when it comes to the emperor, I'm afraid they are still not qualified.

"This Marquis is a martial artist with limited literary talent. I'm laughing at you! Next, I will write poems and poems for you who are well-educated!" Lu Bu glanced at the faces of everyone and laughed.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, praised casually, and then began to show off their literary talents.In the Han Dynasty, the officials were all talented scholars, at least that's how they boasted.The banquet suddenly became lively, with high-spirited discussions and laughter.

The first day of the new year passed like this.
