Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 1646 Mo Shangsang

Sure enough, just as Yang Xiu expected, Marcus, who was originally the main event, became Cao Cao's foil, and no one paid attention to any irregularities in etiquette. After a hasty cutscene, it was over This time the celebration ceremony.

Xu County was originally a small county town, but after so many years of expansion and repairs, it has doubled its original size. In the city, there are not only the original ordinary people, but also the emperor's palace and The residence of hundreds of officials, so on the whole, Xu County can be said to be the political and economic center of Yuzhou.

   After the celebration, a dinner will be held on the Grand Square.

   This was supposed to be a happy time, but because of the special situation at the moment, many participating officials couldn't laugh at all, and the whole scene seemed a bit awkward.

The dinners in the Han Dynasty were generally eaten from afternoon to evening, and this time, a lot of money was invested in holding the celebration. Therefore, after dark, many bonfires were lit around the square and on the middle corridor. , Firstly, for lighting, secondly, it can also drive away the cold.

The bells and drums are beating slowly, the feast has already begun, the sound of silk and bamboo is melodious, and the delicious dishes are placed on the table one after another, but many people's thoughts are not on the dishes of the banquet at all, but frequently use their eyes Looking at the situation in front of the main square...

   Except Marcus.

  In order to prevent Marcus from making mistakes, Yang Xiu basically accompanied him throughout the process, and this time was no exception.

Sitting in the middle of the square, listening to the elegant music, looking at the dishes on the table, and looking at the surrounding maids passing by like butterflies, Marcus was somewhat dizzy. It was his first time to participate in such a grand event. Such a scene made Marcus a little excited, but also a little nervous.

  Marcus reached out to grab the copper chopsticks. Some heavy copper chopsticks made Marcus a little unaccustomed, and one dropped with a clang and landed on the mat under the table. Marcus quickly grabbed it again, held it in his hand, and then looked around, only to see that the surrounding officials had all withdrawn their gazes when they heard the abnormal noise.

  Yang Xiu turned his head, couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and then stretched out his hand to hold Marcus' arm, "Wait, wait and eat...you can drink some of this first... don't move your chopsticks..."

   "Why Sen? Is there any food?" Although Marcus put down the copper chopsticks, he still couldn't help asking.

"On occasions like now, you can't eat first... you have to wait... Don't you see that everyone is eating without moving their chopsticks?" Yang Xiu knew that Marcus didn't remember what etiquette and procedures he told Marcus. Unable to stop, he told Marcus in the most superficial way, "Anyway, you just follow me, drink whatever I drink, and eat whatever I eat... Do you understand?"

   "Uh, how..." Marcus replied with a sigh.

  Yang Xiu held down Marcus, who was about to move, and then turned his mind back to Liu Xie and Cao Cao, with a playful look in his eyes. He didn't expect that when he came to Xu County, he would see such a big show...

   Moreover, this scene seems to have not yet come to an end.

   Soon, the emperor Liu Xie, under the loud singing of the guest of honor, took up the wine cup, and everyone hurriedly straightened their clothes, and then sat upright towards Liu Xie, bowing their heads and listening quietly.

Liu Xie has been preparing for this day for a long time. Even if he wants to say something at the banquet at night, he is already alone in the harem, practicing and changing by himself, changing and practicing, but now, when he When I saw Cao Cao, who was number one in the next song, I suddenly lost all interest. After saying a few clichés, it was considered as the end of this session.

  Because Liu Xie knew that Cao Cao would speak on behalf of the ministers next. Some people may listen to Liu Xie's own words, but people must listen to what Cao Cao said...

  The guest of honor shouted again: "Chen...Li..."

All the officials saluted Liu Xie, expressing their respect and gratitude to Liu Xie, then Cao Cao stood up slowly, took a glass of wine, half turned around, and looked slowly, one by one, scanning the past. Sweeping on a person, the official could not help but straighten his shoulders and waist, and did not dare to move.

"The Han Dynasty has been ordered by the heavens for more than four hundred years. Its virtues are in the eight wastelands, its education is in the four seas, the splendor of its neighbors, and the rituals and music of the Nazu. It is difficult to establish a state, restore the world, promote the prestige of the Han Dynasty, the emperor of the ancestors, cultivate the culture and suppress the martial arts, benefit the four directions, restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty, the Emperor Xianzong, the Qingming is bowing, only the new scene, the blessing of the Mianhan..."

  Cao Cao hardly paused at all, and his loud voice spread throughout the square.

Liu Xie twisted his body slightly. Although Cao Cao's words were good, they still made Liu Xie very uncomfortable. Every word and every word seemed to tell Liu Xie that compared with the famous emperors like Dahan, now What are you? What can be counted?

  Amidst the crackling sound of the bonfire, Yang Xiu listened quietly and watched quietly, but a strange smile appeared on his face. He had already guessed what Cao Cao would say next...

"...Your Majesty has inherited the great teachings of the saints, and the ancestors of the He ancestors. They are conscientious and do not dare to slack off. In the past, the yellow scarves were in chaos, but now the north of Hebei is rebelling. , to eradicate evil and attack evil, and carry Yan to come..."

  Yang Xiu grinned silently, as expected, he talked about his own meritorious service, so it's time to criticize Liu Xie again?

"...At present, the Central Plains is fortunate to return to the teacher, and the troops return to Digong, which is the blessing of the great man. From now on, all of you will only think about the common people and work hard, so that you can be worthy of the world and repay your majesty's kindness. If you have eyes and ears Those who don't know will cause thieves and bandits to cause trouble inside and outside, shield their eyes and ears, expel loyal and good people, or steal authority, or collect heavy taxes, just like an ant soil forming a leak!"

  Cao Cao’s voice was so loud that it seemed that even the original voices around him were all suppressed. Only Cao Cao’s words were rolling over the square...

"... Misbehaviour, misconduct, harming the country and harming the country, conquering Huaxia, overthrowing Heluo, disturbing Weihan, making clothes and hats run in the grass, making Li Shu miserable in Fengdi, this is an unforgivable crime! Talented people receive divine favor, gain high positions, often sleep and burn, fear and fear, walk on thin ice, lest they be ashamed of heaven and earth above, ashamed of Zhaoren below, ashamed of the barbarians outside, and nine tribes inside! A gentleman! Work hard all day long, be vigilant at night, and there is no blame! Those who are in control of disasters must rely on you, and those who are able to manage the country must first consolidate its roots and calm the world, so that there will be prosperity! I hope you will encourage each other!"

   After Cao Cao finished speaking, he picked up the wine jue and drank it up!

   There was silence in the square. After Cao Cao had sat down, the guest of honor, Zan Shoushi, suddenly woke up and announced loudly that the next session would proceed...

   Now it’s finally time to eat, but almost no one in the square is focused on eating, especially the words Cao Cao just said in their hearts, and then involuntarily exchanged eyes with each other...

   Except Marcus.

  Marcus did not understand what Cao Cao said. Seeing someone touched the chopsticks, he turned his head and saw Yang Xiu still motionless.

  Yang Xiu recovered from his thoughts, couldn't help but smile, and immediately picked up the copper chopsticks, signaling that it's time to eat.

Marcus was overjoyed when he saw this, grabbed the copper chopsticks in a hurry, and put the chopsticks down on the dish that he had been staring at for a long time, then opened his mouth wide, stretched out his head, spit out a big tongue, and chewed contentedly …

  Marcus ate deliciously, but Yang Xiu just put a little bit on every dish according to habit and etiquette.

While Marcus was feasting, he suddenly saw Yang Xiu stopped eating with his chopsticks, and his eyes widened immediately, thinking that he couldn't eat it again, so he just ate so much, and was just hooking the gluttonous insects out, if he couldn't Continuing to eat, it was like killing me, and I felt that it would be embarrassing for me to keep asking this and that, so I coughed again, and pointed at Yang Xiu again and again.

  Yang Xiu laughed dumbly, and said softly: "It's okay... you can eat... But, the dinner will last for two hours, if you eat like this, you will be full soon, and you won't be able to eat the delicious food in the future..."

   "Huh?" Marcus looked hesitantly at the dishes on the table, "How many times in the back? Why didn't the mud come out earlier..."

   "It's been 'said' for a long time, I'm afraid you haven't remembered 'mud'?" Yang Xiu scholar Marcus replied with a smile, "Let's watch the singing and dancing first, don't worry, don't worry..."

  In the center of the square, a group of dancers has appeared at some point. They are keeping pace with the beat, beating tambourines, or stepping on the beat, singing and dancing lightly, with graceful postures.

   "Sunrise in the southeast corner, according to my Qin family building. The Qin family has a good woman, named Luofu. Luofu likes sericulture, and the south corner of the mulberry picking city. The black silk is the cage system, and the osmanthus is the cage hook..."

  One person sings, everyone is in harmony, the singing is beautiful, and the dance is graceful and elegant.

   "Huh?" When the singing came, Yang Xiu couldn't hold back for a moment, and a little thoughtful expression appeared on his face.

  Speaking of it, this Han Yuefu can be considered a common movement, but it is used on such an occasion, especially at this moment...

   It's a bit weird.

  In Han Yuefu, there are many pieces of music, but they are generally divided into four categories. One is suburban temple songs, which are mainly music songs composed by noble literati for sacrifices. They are gorgeous and elegant, and are most suitable for use in current places. However, what is being sung now is "Moshang Sang", which is not a song of the suburban temple, but a piece of the Xianghe song, which belongs to folk music collected from all over the country, and the lyrics are mostly "Jiemoyao" .

  Of course it doesn’t mean that "Moshang Sang" can’t be on the hall of elegance. After all, having fun with the people is also an important indicator of the achievements of the court officials, but it’s just the first song at the beginning...

There are too many choices for opening music, such as "Hua Yeye, Gu Linggen. God's 斿, Guotianmen, Cheqiancheng, Dunkunlun" written by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or written by Minister Kuangheng The "Wei Tai Yuan Zun, the gods and gods, the latitude and longitude of the world, and the four seasons" can be done, and they are all good.

  But this song "Moshang Sang" was chosen!

   The meaning of this is naturally remarkable.

  To be honest, if you don’t care about the meaning contained in it, the famous song "Moshang Sang" in the Han Yuefu, with its graceful and elegant singing voice and graceful and graceful long-sleeved dance, is actually a high-level audio-visual enjoyment.

Blooming like bright flowers, groups of graceful dancers float like floating clouds and frightening clouds during their actions, with long sleeves raised or raised according to the rhythm, dazzling long skirts opened or closed, or The gentle posture of leaning up or down, as well as the swaying soft waist, graceful posture, and shy eyes, make people hooked and salivating...

Before Marcus knew it, the copper chopsticks in his hand had fallen onto his lapel. You didn't know it, his eyes widened, his mouth opened wide, his neck stretched out, and he stood up straight, as if he was going to get up and rush to the scene in the next moment. Go and catch these beautiful dancers who are like butterflies among flowers...

  Yang Xiu had no intention of enjoying the music and dancing. He kept turning the wine jug in his hand, looking at the delicious wine in the jug, and fell into deep thought.

   "Daughter of Qin?" Yang Xiu looked at the top of the square with moving eyes, "This is not only sung for His Majesty, but also for hussars... Humph, hum..."

   On the other side, Guo Jia, who has been paying attention to Yang Xiu, caught Yang Xiu's expression, lowered his head and said to Xun Yu who was beside him: "Son of the Yang family, it seems that he can hear it..."

   "Yang Dezu is rarely known for his intelligence..." Xun Yu also said in a low voice.

"Hehe..." Guo Jia shook his head with a low smile, and said, "What if you hear it, so what if you don't? I figured it out before, if all the prisoners of war were beheaded immediately before the Taimiao, and the blood sacrificed to the ancestors, at least one would be killed." The posture of cutting... and now...hehe, hehe..."

   Xun Yu was silent, looking down at the table.

  Guo Jia glanced at Xun Yu, sighed lightly, and said nothing more.

  Although Xun Yu was usually a man of few words back then, he wasn't as silent as he is now, and he didn't talk much. When he was still in the family courtyard of the Xun family in Yingchuan, Xun Yu and Guo Jia also talked and argued about their home country and the world, and they also had longings for the future. Absolutely, but now, all the looks seem to have disappeared, only a few white hairs appearing on Xun Yu's temples...

In the past years, Guo Jia believed that the world was nothing but mediocrity, no matter what difficulties he faced, he could find some solutions, and regarded it as a kind of fun and challenge, but now, in the face of the loss of time and people In terms of physical aging, there is nothing to do, no ability to resist...

  Guo Jia stretched out his hand and patted Xun Yu's arm lightly.

  Singing and dancing Youman.

   "...Fifteen government officials, twenty court officials, thirty servants, forty city dwellers..."

   Writing here is also full of emotions...

   The dead are like a husband...

   Unknowingly, I wrote from the Year of the Monkey to the Year of the Rat...

   Respect to all book friends!

   May the fragrance of books always be with you, and the writing and ink will be passed on from generation to generation. I wish you good health and success in everything!

   One more thing to add:

   The "common sense" issue of the temple name in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

   Liu Bang established the Taishanghuang Temple, Gaomiao Temple, and Huidi Temple in Chang'an, which was the beginning of the Han Dynasty's ancestral temple system.

   Emperor Ai collapsed, Emperor Ping was established, and Wang Mang came to power. He destroyed the Huangkao Temple and the Gonghuang Temple on the grounds that "two unified fathers and two fathers violated the ritual system".

   Liu Xiu proclaimed himself emperor, and built a high temple in Luoyang, and built a four-parent temple to worship his high, Zeng, grandfather, and father. Because Liu Xiu proclaimed the emperor, that is to say, the Xiaozong succeeded the Dazong. If the Dazong is immortal, the emperors of Yuan, Cheng, Ai, and Ping should be the ancestors of the Western Han Dynasty, and the rites held by private relatives such as his biological parents should be extinct. Xiaozong's private relatives went to the temple, and they were impeached by the Confucianism.

   Later, Guangwu established temples in Chang'an and Luoyang.

   After the death of Guangwu, Emperor Ming ascended the throne, and named his temple "Shizu".
