257. Chinese New Year's Eve feast
And Zhuge Liang and Pang Tong are also talking about their own affairs, only Dian Du is still meditating and cultivating. Because the hour has not yet come, the canons have not been easily reaped.
"Kong Ming, now should we go over and say hello to Your Majesty!" Pang Tong asked Zhuge Liang with a smile.
"Can't you see that Your Majesty is cultivating now? So we better not disturb Your Majesty. Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong with a kind face.
Soon the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens was ready to begin, and at this time Wei Zhongxian also came to the front of Diandu.
"Your Majesty's ceremony is about to begin." Then Diandu came back to his senses from his cultivation state.
Dian Du came to the altar under the leadership of Wei Zhongxian. Then the ceremony began to worship the heavens.
Wei Zhongxian also took out a speech prepared for the event as if by magic.
With the consent of Diandu, Wei Zhongxian began to read it.
After about half a cup of tea, Wei Zhongxian finally finished reading.
Then Wei Zhongxian shouted in a duck-like voice: "Start the incense." ”
Diandu and the ministers came to the incense burner with the incense in their hands, and the incense was placed in the incense burner.
Soon everyone put the incense into the incense burner.
"Kneel." Wei Zhongxian shouted again at the top of his duck-like voice.
"Bye." Everyone knelt down three times and then stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn." Wei Zhongxian said to Diandu in a respectful tone.
"I am ordered by the heavens, that is, the ...... of Yongchang" After Diandu said a long more blessing, the ceremony of worshiping the heavens finally ended.
The meaning of this passage is probably to hope that the world will have a bumper harvest in the coming year, and the people can live and work in peace and contentment.
After the completion of the ritual of worshipping the heavens, Nomidu walked in the front and came to the edict with all the ministers.
And this palace is used to entertain foreign guests and other guests, as an annual prosperity, Feng Zhao is also used to entertain ministers and generals.
After all the ministers were seated, Dian Du glanced at Wei Zhongxian.
Soon, a palace maid walked into the Ouchi with a dish, and then a dish was placed in front of each minister and general.
But this is far from the end, this is just the beginning. A steady stream of eunuchs and palace maids are passing food to the Great Interior.
After about half a burnt of incense, all the dishes were finally ready. At this time, there were also several plates of delicious dishes on the table.
After a while, a jug of fine wine appeared on everyone's table.
Then Dian Du gave Wei Zhongxian another hint of a look, and then Wei Zhongxian clapped his hands.
Soon the dance music sounded in Ouchi, and Zhang Fei took the lead in raising the wine glass.
"Your Majesty, I'm here to toast you first." Zhang Fei said to Diandu in a kind tone.
Zhang Fei took the lead, and other generals and ministers also stood up. Everyone raised their glasses and toasted to Diandu.
After the toast, the crowd sat down again.
Then Zhang Fei said to Zhou Cang: "Yuanfu, do you think that today's wine is much stronger than before?" ”
"Isn't wine wine? If you can drink it, what else is it? After speaking, Zhou Cang directly took the wine jug and drank it.
Soon Zhou Cang drank the pot of wine, and then Zhou Cang said to the eunuch next to him, "Bring me another pot." ”
"Brother Kong Ming, I toast you." Pang Tong said to Zhuge Liang in a kind tone.
"." Zhuge Liang said to Pang Tong with a smile.
Three hours later, the banquet came to an end.
"Go and reward according to the name on this menu!" After Wei Zhongxian received the order from Diandu, he didn't dare to stay at all, but walked out directly.
After a while, Wei Zhongxian came to the outside of the imperial dining room.
Outside the Imperial Dining Room, dozens of eunuchs were waiting for his arrival, while dozens of Imperial Guards were waiting.
Each eunuch carried a food box in his hand, and then Wei Zhongxian began to distribute the dishes according to the names of each person's food boxes.
After about half a cup of tea, the dishes were all distributed.
"Now you can do what I just said!" Wei Zhongxian said to the dozens of eunuchs in a duck-like voice.
Soon, the eunuchs rode on horseback under the leadership of the Imperial Forest Army and hurried to the mansions.
On the way to the Changshan Marquis' Mansion, more than two dozen black men were lying in ambush on the roofs of the streets.
They seemed to be waiting for something, and soon a group of people passed by.
In an instant, more than two dozen black-clothed men fell from the sky, each holding a long sword in their hands.
The eunuch carrying the food box was directly sealed by a sword, and the royal forest soldiers who were in charge of the attachment directly pulled out the long sword in their hands and rushed up.
But they were the opponents of these men in black, and it didn't take long for the Imperial Forest Army to be wiped out.
After the men in black had finished killing, one of the men in black dropped a handkerchief embroidered with a skull.
At another intersection, there was also a pair of black men lying in ambush on the eaves of the streets.
It's just that the pair of men in black each have a crossbow arrow in their hands, and they are aiming at the intersection with fierce eyes. They were waiting for the arrival of the person escorting the food box.
Soon such a group of people came to this intersection, and they were blocked by this group of men in black as they passed.
The group of men in black jumped off the eaves after killing people, and the men in black who led the team also dropped such a handkerchief.
A skull was also embroidered on the handkerchief, and then they disappeared like ghosts.
The same thing played out on the streets, but where the men in black ended up were gone, and no one knew.
No one knows what these men in black look like, because those who have seen them are dead.
It can be said that the group of men in black did this very secretively, but they also dropped such a handkerchief when they left.
The next morning, at a grocery store on a certain street, the owner opened the door as usual.
But the moment he opened the door, he saw several corpses lying quietly in front of his shop.
After seeing this picture, he ran towards the Luoyang Mansion with help.
In front of Zhuge Liang's mansion, the same thing happened.
After the guests reported the incident to him, he immediately rushed towards the palace without stopping.
However, the palace gate has not been opened today, because it is not yet the time to open the dynasty, so the palace gate will be opened on the seventh day of the first month.
"This general also asks you to report it, and he will say that the minister Zhuge Kongming has something important to report."
"Prime Minister Zhuge is not the last general who will not report, but it is not yet the time to open the dynasty. Therefore, the end will not be able to open the palace door for you. ”
"Can't this general be accommodating?"
"Prime Minister Zhuge has already said that the last general does not have this right, and he can open the palace gate without authorization." The general on the palace wall said to Zhuge Liang indifferently.
