A number of matters were scheduled for the meeting, and this was the last meeting of the year. Next time, it's the Yuanri Pilgrimage.

At the Yuanri Dynasty Meeting, it is basically impossible to discuss political affairs. The Yuan Ri Dynasty Meeting is different from the ordinary court meeting, and the ordinary court meeting is to discuss political affairs, formulate policies, and discuss with the monarch and ministers. The Yuanri Dynasty Meeting is more about etiquette.

At the beginning of the year, Vientiane is renewed.

In addition to the permanent and non-permanent officials of the capital, the participants also had envoys from all over the country, envoys sent to Chang'an to "He Zheng", envoys from various state capitals to send congratulatory watches, envoys who presented auspiciousness, and foreign envoys and important guests.

Therefore, the Yuan-Ri Dynasty Meeting is also an important court meeting to show the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and reconcile with a few tribal areas and foreign countries.

Every year, the Yuan Day Grand Gathering is equipped with extravagant and elaborate etiquette.

The so-called nine days open the palace, and all the nations worship the crown. There will be tens of thousands of people involved inside and outside the Yuan Day Dynasty Meeting.

This was originally a grand scene, but Xia Hongsheng has seen it for many years, and now he just wants to end it as soon as possible so that he can go home and reunite with his family.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. There are always some things that teach Xia Hongsheng to have a difficult peaceful year.

"Brother Duan, when it's over, how about you and I go to Xuandu Guanzhong together?" Xia Hongsheng put the note that Duan Zan had just handed over into his sleeve, then shook his head, and said with a sigh to Duan Zan .

"You're going to incense?" Duan Zan hadn't reacted yet: "This is all in front of me, it's not bad to put on incense in these few days, when this matter is dealt with, let's go again." Otherwise, you won't even be able to live a good life during the New Year! What a fucking - straight bitch thief! I can't figure it out, but I'm always thinking about making a fuss about a good day! ”

"There can never be justice in this world, so there are always people who are unhappy. That's what they're talking about. Like them, it's like a dog's skin plaster, which can't be removed even if it's glued to it. You can suppress them for a while, and when there is a grievance, you will get up when you say hello. Xia Hongsheng shook his head, even in the later life, those cults still can't be eliminated, and they appear one after another in different ways, let alone now?

"We two, do you want to be glued all the time, or do I want to be glued all the time?" Xia Hongsheng said to Duan Zan again: "If we sell our favors, someone will deal with them for us in the future." ”

Duan Zhan's heart moved, and he realized: "You mean Yuan Daochang?" ”

"Taoism is now famous in the Tang Dynasty, not only practicing medicine everywhere, but also helping to promote the good governance of the imperial court everywhere, which is deeply trusted by His Majesty and believed by the people. In addition, he did not pursue pills, but began to seek the principles of nature, which was deeply helpful to Datang. Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Then the Maitreya Sect wants to unite with the Manichaeism and take food from the mouth of the Taoists, do you think Yuan Daoist will be willing?" Would the Taoist people be willing? ”

"Brother Sheng'er means to inform Daoist Yuan of this matter and let Daomen come forward to settle the matter. ...... by the hand of the Daomen," Duan Zan said as he made a motion to wipe his neck.

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Daomen believers are all over the Tang Dynasty, even outside the territory, but there are many more spies than ours. ”

"Good idea!" Duan Zan rubbed his hands: "Daoist Yuan is in the palace, and I just saw him." We'll have a feast later, and we can go find him!" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded, and sneered again: "This Manichaeism wants to be beautiful, and it also wants to worship fire to show the saints, but I don't know that this is simply the rest of the tricks played by this son." Back then, in the Wa Kingdom, this son used this method to deceive the lord of the Wa Kingdom to surrender. ”

"Hehe, who doesn't know that our Grandpa Xia is an immortal in the sky, and these methods are simply an axe." Duan Zan snickered: "It can only be said that the Manichaean people have committed crimes under our Grandpa Xia. However, this Manichaeism is also evil, you say, could it be that they can really conjure fire out of thin air? The spy report can be said carefully, and it will come out with a pinch of fire! Fire or blue-green, how can this be mortal fire? ”

"Nature is not an ordinary fire." Xia Hongsheng nodded: "That's a dead man's fire." ”

"Dead man fire?!" Duan Zan was taken aback.

Xia Hongsheng laughed: "Yes, usually in summer, it is possible to see it on the mass grave of the third watch in the middle of the night, which is also called a ghost fire." ”

"Ghost Fire!" Duan Zan was even more frightened, his throat moved, and he asked cautiously; "I've heard of it! Is there such a thing?! ”

Xia Hongsheng raised his fingers, gestured at the knuckles of his little thumb, and said mockingly: "It's just such a little guts." Do you know why fireworks are blue-green? The same thing, it's all steamed out of urine! If you want, go to the fireworks factory on my Zhuangzi to find Zhang Lao Dao, and he can give you a whole box! ”

"What?" Duan Zan was a little confused: "Urine steamed out?" ”

Unfortunately, as soon as Duan Zhan's words fell, he suddenly heard a loud bang in the sky overhead, and a huge firework exploded, although the color was not so conspicuous in the daytime, but a flash of blue-green light could still be seen.

Duan Zhan's face changed, and he was about to dodge immediately.

"Boom-boom......" fireworks came and went, and the sound of firecrackers was heard all around.

The two walked through the flow of people, and while the people who were familiar with each other arched their hands as greetings, they walked into the palace and went over to find Yuan Tiangang.

When Yuan Tiangang was found, several people just chatted politely. Because the Daomen can rise in the hands of Yuan Tiangang, it all depends on Xia Hongsheng's pointing, so for Xia Hongsheng, Yuan Tiangang is full of worship, and firmly believes that Xia Hongsheng is the Sanqing Daoist who saw the decline of the Daomen, so he specially sent Xingdao, so after seeing Xia Hongsheng, he did not go elsewhere, and entered the banquet with Xia Hongsheng, and finished the celebration after the Great Dynasty Meeting.

It was easy to wait until he could leave, and Xia Hongsheng said to Yuan Tiangang again: "Dao Chief, how about leaving the palace together?" ”

"Be your own companion." Yuan Tiangang smiled and said: "Today is the first day, why don't you go to my Xuandu Temple, and pray for the coming year?" ”

"That's what I mean!" Xia Hongsheng said with a smile: "Brother Duan and I are going to go to Xuandu to see incense together. By the way, there is one thing that I feel has to talk to Yuan Daochang in advance. ”

Yuan Tiangang didn't seem surprised, but just smiled and asked, "Oh? I don't know what Childe is going to say? ”

"Datang has recently become friendly with Persia, and the two countries have very close contacts. A sect that had previously come from the land of Persia did not seem to be content with the status quo again. It was also used by a cult in the Tang Dynasty, and was ready to take advantage of the large number of people in Chang'an after the year to make a miracle in Chang'an, so as to facilitate its mission. Xia Hongsheng said to Yuan Tiangang with a smile.

Sure enough, he saw Yuan Tiangang's expression change, his eyes narrowed, and he asked, "It came from the land of Persia, but that Manichaeism?" ”

Xia Hongsheng nodded: "Hehe, it's a coincidence that they are going to know the miracles they are going to make to show the world, the principle, or they can tell the Taoist." ”

What kind of character is Yuan Tiangang, how can he not understand what Xia Hongsheng meant.

So when he made a salute: "Thank you for your help!" It is not easy for the people to have a year, and my Daomen will never allow these crooked ways to disturb the people to have a peaceful year! ”
