Chapter 878: Those Things in the Inner Court
When you move into the Forbidden City, you must first worship your ancestors.
Qin Feng led hundreds of officials to the Taimiao, the ancient ancestor worship was cumbersome, and the royal family was a hundred times more cumbersome.
What puzzled the hundred officials was that on the altar of the Taimiao, at least three generations of ancestors had to be recognized, there was only one tablet, which was written as "the ancestor of the Qin family".
"Mother, father, you must still live in the Hereafter. The son worships the ancestors, and let the ancestors of the Qin family bless you, bless the son's country, and bless the ...... of the descendants of China. ”
When Qin Feng worshipped, he muttered silently.
The majesty of Emperor Hongwu made the officials dare not ask more, but followed the three knocks and nine bows to worship the ancestors of the Qin family. Without the ancestors of the Qin family, there would be no Hongwu Emperor, there would be no Great Qin Empire, and there would be no them, so the hundred officials are to worship.
An hour later, the tedious ancestor worship ceremony was completed.
According to the etiquette system, at this time, Qin Feng needs to accept the worship of the people.
So, Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng came to Chengtian Gate, Chengtian means "Chengtian Qiyun, ordered by the sky", is the main gate of the Forbidden City.
The main building of Chengtianmen is divided into two floors, the upper floor is the city tower of heavy eaves rest mountain type, glazed tile roof, there are nine big houses as wide as the east and west, there are five big houses so deep in the north and south, take the number of "nine five-year", symbolize the dignity of Emperor Hongwu.
On the lower floor is a 15-meter-high castle platform.
There are five arched city gate holes under the city tower, the city gate hole in the middle is the largest, nine meters high, five meters wide, located on the central axis of the Forbidden City of Yedu, only the Great Qin Emperor can enter and exit. The moat in front of the castle tower is named Yushui River, and there are seven stone bridges with white marble pillars in the direction corresponding to the castle tower. The widest one in the middle is only accessible to the emperor, two on both sides are for the emperor's relatives to pass, and two on both sides are for officials of more than 1,000 stones. The rest of the people can only take the outermost two.
Outside the Chengtian Gate, there is a square that can accommodate 50,000 or 60,000 people.
Qin Feng was surrounded by hundreds of officials. Take the 100-step staircase on the left side of Guò to the Chengtian Gate. There are thirty-two doors and windows on the front of the gate tower, carved grid. The pedestal is surrounded by a white marble railing. Fifty-six pulp pillars are neatly arranged, carved with jade dragons and other rare bird and beast patterns.
Qin Feng was just outside the main gate of the city tower, standing still at the main gate of the Chengtian Gate. Hundreds of officials lined up on both sides of the edge of the city gate tower, with civil officials on the left and military generals on the right.
At this time, there was a royal forest army, guiding tens of thousands of people to the square outside the Chengtian Gate. These people have long been unable to bear the urgency, and their eyes are hot. Looking at the figure on the Chengtian Gate. That figure was wrapped in a golden light, and it was this person who brought a new atmosphere to the world and allowed tens of millions of people to live a peaceful and happy life.
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......."
The people who were glad to be able to come to the square fell to the ground, and the joy from the bottom of their hearts filled their cries with sincerity.
Qin Feng's mood was difficult to express in words, so he waved his hand frequently at the city gate like the head of the later generations. He loves his country. Love your own people. It is because of this that the people will support him. Those who have the support of the people will not fail.
After the people's worship ended, Qin Feng returned to the Taihe Hall under the support of hundreds of officials. After accepting the worship of hundreds of officials, the ceremony of moving the palace is over.
The news of the grand ceremony of Emperor Hongwu's palace relocation soon spread. The literati were able to use all the flowery words they could come up with. Describe the grandeur of the Forbidden City and describe the atmosphere of Emperor Hongwu.
The people of the Great Qin State. Naturally, it is a celebration of the crown.
However, the land of Eastern Wu and Western Shu. There are people who are very unhappy.
Soochow, Jianye Dawu Palace.
"Rich is good!" After Sun Quan got the news, he thought like this. He couldn't help but come to the outside of the dormitory, looking at the palace city, which was seven or eight times smaller than the Forbidden City. suddenly remembered that when Qin Feng was still the Duke of Qin, he came to Dongwu to marry Sun Shangxiang. "If I hadn't lost tens of millions of dollars of wealth at the beginning, if I had won Qin Zijin tens of millions of dollars, I would have been able to live in a big palace! Hey...... despicable Qin Zijin! ”
Xishu, Chengdu Shu Han Palace.
Liu Beigao sat on the throne, looking at the palace where the court meeting was held, and felt that the place was small, the wood was not good, and the floor tiles were not strong. He shook the only fat ear that was like a Buddha, and said: "Why is Qin Zijin shameless, but the people respect him." I have always loved the people, but I have borne infamy. ”
"I was put into the pit by Qin Zi!" Zhuge Liang thought resentfully. However, he now also sees the fundamental reason, although an emperor like Liu Bei talks about loving the people, in fact, his heart is towards the family, and inside, he still exploits the people together with the family.
In fact, including Cao Cao, they also want to be like Qin Feng and fight local tyrants to divide the land. The people had land in the first place, but it was gradually annexed, and now even if they have land again, it will not hinder their rule. However, their rise depends on the family, and their foundation is the family. Cao Cao and others, so they can't destroy their foundations. And Qin Feng's rise has never relied on any family, but because of the rise of the people. Therefore, in this era, only Qin Feng can do the cultivator have his land.
"Lost at the beginning!" Zhuge Liang realized what Guo Jia realized at the beginning, but he thought about it and said: "Looking at the thousands of princes in China, there is also a demon in Qinzi, if he does not appear, the world will not be like this." ”
"It seems that after Qin Feng was born, there were many fewer natural disasters!" Every time Zhuge Liang looked at the sky and looked at the stars and counted hexagrams, he would think, "But there are many man-made disasters......!" Thinking of this, Zhuge Liang saw Qin Feng's strange smile that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, but also very happy, every time Qin Zijin showed such a smile, someone was going to be trapped. Yuan Shao is like this, Cao Cao is like this, Liu Bei is like this, Sun Ce, and Sun Quan have all run away.
Zhuge Liang suddenly realized that there seemed to be no one who had dealt with Qin Zijin all day but was not cheated!
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, government affairs have stopped working, and the entire Great Qin Kingdom has fallen into the joy of the New Year. Ye is in the north, and the world should be cold and deserted in the snow, but the sound of fireworks and firecrackers continues. On the streets, there is a constant stream of bustling people. The markets are even more crowded. The vendors are all smiling, just like the e-commerce of Double 11 in later generations.
Everyone in the Great Qin State wore new clothes. The adults carried large bags of New Year's goods in their hands, and the little ones who followed them held chicken legs and pastries. Fat year. If someone does not have many New Year's goods at home, they will be despised by their neighbors. Because this family is not diligent, only lazy people in the Great Qin Kingdom cannot live a fat year.
"Oops!" One of the little guys didn't hold it steady, and the pastry fell to the floor. A little fat dog came out of nowhere, sniffed it, snorted and wagged its tail with disdain. The heart says that I am a carnivore, and I will never eat such omnivores.
Chengdu and Jianye did not snow, nor did it get cold, but became a deserted world at the end of the year. If it weren't for the occasional big family that drove the carriage to buy New Year's goods. I just thought it was a ghost town. The big families wore new clothes, stewed cattle and sheep to prepare for the fat year. The people just put on new patches and wear new clothes, and the family gathered around the stove and waited to drink gruel for the New Year. Gruel is good, only during the New Year, and it is a thin soup and wild vegetables on weekdays. On the street, there were three or five people in rags, grizzled and disheveled hair, chasing a scrawny puppy. "Grab it. Fat New Year! ”
Ordinary people rejoiced in the New Year, and the emperor of the Great Qin State was naturally not exempt from vulgarity.
On the first watch, the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City was lively.
In the Qianqing Palace, it is furnished with precious golden silk nanmu. Each carving is either a dragon spitting clouds and mist, or a unicorn stepping on auspicious clouds, and the ornaments are full of gold and jade. The floors are spotlessly polished marble floors. In the midst of this golden splendor, Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng sat alone at a large table with a sad face. This big table is very exquisite. Known as the "Golden Dragon Banquet Table", the tablecloths are all made of gold wire. The food on the table is called a hearty. Chickens, ducks, cows and sheep are nothing, bear's paws, shark fins, bird's nests, can barely be called vegetables.
Under Qin Feng's golden dragon table, there is Cai Yan's jade phoenix table, which is full of dishes, but the size of the plate is smaller than Qin Feng. Below, is the table of the prospective prince Qin Yan. Below, the imperial concubines gathered around two tables, and the specifications were even smaller. Below are the children of the old Qin family, and the catering specifications are only a little smaller than the imperial concubine.
On this Chinese New Year's Eve, the old Qin family was all in order, looking at their noses and noses, as if they were not waiting for dinner, but waiting for offerings. Even the youngest, the eighth princess Qin Lian, who was only four and a half years old, and the ninth prince Qin Ying didn't dare to move.
Qin Feng wanted to "get angry".
Cai Yan secretly shook his head at him, the would-be empress of the Great Qin Kingdom knew in her heart that her husband, Emperor Hongwu, did not want to be so extravagant and wasteful, and preferred to eat around a table with a large family. However, this Chinese New Year's Eve meal is not only for himself, but also for the world. On weekdays, it can be simpler, but at this time, the whole world is watching, and the royal majesty must not be lost.
Hongwu Emperor Qin Feng also knew about this, this was probably the most greasy meal he had eaten when he came to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and he waved his hand helplessly. Dequan, the chief manager of Ouchi, who had been waiting next to him, hurriedly bowed down and waved the dust. A group of eunuchs began to serve soup. First to Emperor Hongwu, then to the quasi-empress and prince, then to the concubine, princess, and prince. The order should not be messed up at all, and there are different specifications for the portions.
Qin Feng "difficult" ate the first Chinese New Year's Eve dinner after becoming emperor, during which he said a few happy words for the New Year as usual. After the meal, Qin Feng looked at a large table of dishes that were almost untouched, and said in his heart that hundreds of times were gone. If I eat it myself, I can't eat hundreds of pounds a year. If it is evenly distributed to ordinary people, it is enough for a family to eat for several years.
No wonder the people are poor. However, those in power will not have a problem in providing relief to millions of people if they eat and drink less a year. In the future, 300 billion people will be eaten and drunk with public funds, how many people can be saved by 300 billion?
The virtuous Cai Yan saw Emperor Hongwu's thoughts, so he said, "Your Majesty, you can give these foods to your subordinates ......." ”
There was indeed such a rule during the imperial system.
Therefore, Qin Feng rewarded his table and Qin Yan's table to the courtiers outside, the imperial concubines and princesses to the palace maids, and the princes' table to the Imperial Forest Army soldiers guarding the outer city.
After the dinner, the New Year's vigil begins. The Qianqing Palace belongs to the harem, according to the rules, the prince must leave the harem from the age of six to live in the east and west palaces outside the east and west palaces, and the princesses can live in the harem when they are minors. Qin Yan's children and half-sized children were specially invited to eat the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and after the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Feng asked Qin Yan to take his brother over six years old back to his East Palace to keep the New Year.
"If brothers are harmonious, everything will prosper ...... family and country." Qin Feng said.
"The sons and daughters have retired ......."
After Qin Yan left with his brothers, Qin Feng also asked the female officials of the palace to return to the palace where their mother was located with the princesses and little princes.
When in the Qianqing Palace, there were only the palace maids and eunuchs who were taught by the Blood Yan Group to serve, and it gradually became lively.
Sun Shangxiang stuck out his tongue and said dissatisfiedly: "I didn't expect to enter the palace, such a big rule, I was tied all day long." ”
Qin Feng is also restrained, but it's good to get used to it.
Living in a huge palace, it usually takes a long time to walk around. Everyone talked about homely things, and gradually found a sense of home.
At this time, Qin Feng vaguely heard Diao Chan say to Zhen Mi, who had a good relationship: "Sister Zhen Mi, my sister sees that you are going to be canonized as Zhaoyi, and when my sister sees you in the future, she will salute." ”
Zhen Mi blushed and said, "Your Majesty likes you the most, I'm afraid this Zhaoyi is your sister!" ”
Not only Qin Feng was eavesdropping, but all the imperial concubines also pricked up their ears and eavesdropped. I couldn't help but think in my heart: "This imperial concubine has a ranking, and I don't know what position my family has in His Majesty's heart, anyway, Sister Cai Yan's queen can't run." ”
I heard Diao Chan flick his water sleeves and bring out a burst of incense and said: "Where do I have that blessing!" Speaking of this, Diao Chan pretended to be resentful and glanced at Qin Feng: "It is estimated that it is also the name of a "beauty", isn't it?" ”
Diao Chan had a soul-hooking gaze, but just a glance made Qin Feng restless, and his whole body was crispy.
Qin Feng's eyes fell on Diao Chan's bumpy body, and he said in his heart that he would clean up at night, and said casually: "What is the name of "beauty"? There is a concubine! ”
Chaise! At this time, there is no ranking of concubines in the harem. However, listening to the word "expensive", all the imperial concubines thought that they must be more noble than ordinary concubines. That's not the second-ranked "Zhaoyi", or the third-ranked "Jieyu"!
Diao Chan was overjoyed when he heard this, his little face was flushed, and his big watery eyes were just discharging at Qin Feng, looking like he was picking.
When Qin Feng's heart was itching, he found that the eyes of all the imperial concubines were full of resentment.
For the Chinese New Year, this will begin to compete for favor!
Qin Feng suddenly realized, and suddenly sweated. (To be continued......)
