In the following days, Jinyiwei **** circled on the street like a mad dog, and caught those who were not pleasing to the eye, Jinyiwei's edict was not enough for a long time, and even the cells in Shuntianfu and Wanping Daxing counties were also full. In the end, there was no choice but to send it to the barracks of the avant-garde of the government army, but fortunately, the avant-garde of the government army has not yet recovered, and less than half of the soldiers are recruited, and some of them are prisoners in the room......

As for why he didn't send it to the largest prison of the Criminal Department, the reason is also very simple - anyone with a discerning eye can see that Wang Xian is openly acting against the emperor's intentions, if it weren't for the lack of punishment in the first month, maybe the black gauze hat of the loyal and brave uncle would have to be taken off.

Fortunately, Yin Li Pan of Shuntian Mansion still understands people, and knows that he and Wang Xian are grasshoppers on the same rope, Wang Xian put it bluntly, he is also helping him to crack down, and he is doing it with a completely unimaginable intensity, not to mention anything else, there are hundreds of ruffians and hooligans and abductors who have been caught in! At this time, the security of the capital is called a good, and it is an exaggeration to say that the road is not left behind, but there is definitely no closing at night.

No way, criminals are also human! Looking at those heavily armed brocade guards who were crazy and arresting people all over the street, some of the most vicious people dared to resist arrest, and they were directly shot into a hornet's nest with bows and muskets! Not to mention arrest, even if you run away, you may eat a gun! It's horrible! Scared of those big brothers and bosses, they simply didn't dare to go out at home, and walked around the street to extort money and kidnap people, and all of them disappeared intensively, and none of them were gone! There is a way that in the face of dictatorship, all reactionaries are paper tigers, that's what it means!

The result is that the public security in the capital is very good, and the people dare to go out more, and it will be the Shangyuan Festival soon, and the colorful buildings in Dengshan are also tied up, and every household comes out to celebrate the Lantern Festival, and the streets are crowded with people, and the population is much denser than before the crackdown...... Wang Xian, who was bent on creating a terrifying atmosphere and scared the people home, didn't dare to go out, and he was almost so angry that he smoked......

No way, this is the city of Beijing, the common people only recognize Zhu Di, since the emperor spoke, saying that he wanted to celebrate and celebrate warmly, the people will celebrate in a carnival, and they will not return at night, where do they care what Wang Xian is? When the people in Beijing City supported the Holy Cavalry, he didn't know where to eat!

Seeing that he couldn't stop this Shangyuan carnival, Wang Xian had no choice but to change his strategy, from containment to protection and prevention, let his soldiers divide into pieces, register all the lantern festivals and opera troupes participating in the performance, and check all their props and materials for no danger before allowing them to appear at the carnival scene of the Shangyuan Festival.

At dusk, there are already a lot of fireworks in the capital that can't wait to be lit, and Wang Xian and others standing on the head of Chongwenmen can smell the clear smell of gunsmoke.

"The smell of fireworks is the smell of the Spring Festival." Looking at the magnificent city of Beijing, hundreds of large and small lamp mountains and thousands of colorful gates that have been set up in the city, just waiting for the dark, Li climbed the slightest sense of pride as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion!

"But I smell the flames of war." Wang Xian's face was half of the expression, and his pupils were all reflected in the sunset that was about to set.

"Uncle is too worried," Li Pan said with a smile: "After such a long time and such a high-intensity guard, I believe that this Shangyuan Festival will be safe and perfect." ”

"No, there are too many people." Wang Xian shook his head and said: "When the event didn't start, we could still control the situation, but when it got dark, at the beginning ......of the event, the gods had no choice but to resign themselves to fate."

"It's going to be fine." Li Pan smiled and relieved Wang Xian's pressure, and then said goodbye, as the Yin of Shuntian Mansion and the highest magistrate of the capital, he wanted to light the lights for tonight's grand event! This is his honor, and he cannot shirk it, and he will not shirk it.

After Li Pan left, Wang Xian said to Wu Wei on the side: "You know my intuition, I have always been very accurate......

"Yes." Wu Wei nodded, how many years has he followed Wang Xian, how could he not know? With this intuition, Wang Xian didn't know how many times he took them to avoid danger! He sighed: "But this time, it is indeed not something we can control, just like Mr. Yan said, do your best and obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"Hey......" Wang Xian exhaled a breath of turbidity, looked at the direction of Houhai in the distance, and felt a burst of guilt in his heart, he was stubborn, and finally let Baoyin and Ah Yu stay with him for the New Year, but he didn't go home all day long, and he didn't let them go out to enjoy the lanterns tonight...... Bao Yin was reasonable, knowing that Wang Xian was worried about their safety, so she didn't say anything. But the more this happened, the more sorry Wang Xian became......

The sky is short in the first month, and the sky is full of Western oceans just now, and at this time, the sky is already dark. Wang Xian tightened his cloak and said to the brothers on the side: "Let's go......" He knew that it was useless to say anything tonight, because in the crowd, thousands of brocade guards couldn't do anything at all. Anyway, what should have been said has already been said, so there is no nonsense, Wang Xian waved his hand, and let the generals go separately.

He himself also went down to the city surrounded by Wu Wei, Zhou Yong, and Lingxiao and Xiao Lian, who were disguised as men, and Xin Ning Xinyuan, who was dressed as Jinyiwei. As soon as he got out of the city, Wang Xian saw an army rumbling over, and when he looked at it, it was 5,000 soldiers of the Shenji Battalion who were fully armed, all with muskets in their hands and crossbows wound. The old general who was riding on the yellow huss and wearing red armor was none other than Liu Sheng, the Marquis of Anyuan!

"Master Hou!" As soon as he saw Liu Sheng, Wang Xian's face was overjoyed and he hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Liu Sheng had a very good impression of Wang Xian, riding on a horse, holding his beard and laughing: "Wang boy, don't you feel at ease now?" Your Majesty is not as careless as you think, in fact, it has been arranged for a long time! It's just that I don't want to destroy the division of the festival, so it's just loose on the outside and tight on the inside! ”

"What, in addition to the Shenji Battalion, the emperor still has arrangements?" Wang Xian asked.

"Of course, Cheng Guogong and Old Eunuch Zhao are in the palace, patrolling everywhere with the whole class!" Liu Sheng said with a smile: "Don't worry, if you don't make trouble tonight, if you make trouble, you will have no place to bury him!" ”

"Hehe, it's a good ......" Wang Xian smiled, but the smile was a little far-fetched.

"What, still not at ease?" Liu Sheng glared at him and scolded with a smile: "I said that you kid is nervous and there is something wrong?" I've also seen strong winds and waves, what is this! ”

"Hey, it's different." Wang Xian shook his head and sighed: "That's a war, there is a ten-point force, but there is a ten-point force." It's security, and it's good to have a lot of power......"

"It's done, I won't talk to you." Seeing the troops walking away, Liu Sheng waved his hand at Wang Xian, laughed and said, "The day before yesterday, Zhuangzi sent some game, go back to my place to eat and drink!" ”

Seeing An Yuanhou's back becoming more and more blurred, Wang Xian was about to say something, when he suddenly heard a bang, an earth-shattering loud noise! The guards hurriedly drew their swords and protected him in the middle. saw Lingxiao pointing to the huge fireworks blooming in the night sky, and jumped happily: "It's started!" Here we go! ”

The first Shangyuan event after the Ming Dynasty moved its capital to Beijing really started at the moment when the curtain was just hung up on this day! The passion that has been brewing for many days bursts out at this moment, bursting out like a scorching heat wave of volcanic lava! This heat wave is made by the mountain of lights, by the incense mist, by the beauty, by the billions of lanterns, and by the tens of millions of brocade tents! It is made of a chariot like flowing water, and a horse like a dragon!

There are hundreds of fireworks in the sky all the time, and the brilliant and colorful fireworks completely cover the stars! On the ground are countless tall feet, dry boats, juggling, and letters, surrounding the dazzling, colorful large floats swaggering through the market, attracting the eyes of the people who are shoulder to shoulder!

The sound of explosions, the sound of silk and bamboo, the sound of gongs and drums, and the sound of shouting have converged into a pot of porridge, even if it is a mouthful, you have to use all your strength to hear each other clearly, as long as the distance is a little farther, no one can hear anything!

Of course, in the Shangyuan Festival, the protagonist is naturally the lantern! All kinds of lanterns are dazzling, making people dizzy, as if the Milky Way in the sky has fallen on the chessboard sky street in the capital, thousands of lights, twinkling, competing for beauty, beautiful! The people of the capital who are immersed in the sea of joy are either bringing their families, calling friends, or holding hands with couples, wearing garlands on their heads and holding rich and attractive snacks in their hands, wandering in the Milky Way of this lamp, appreciating and appreciating the exquisite lanterns that have been painstakingly and cost-sparingly built!

It is all made of white jade, as if the palace lamp of the heavenly palace is the Fuzhou lamp!

The one who uses the silk sac to store millet as the womb, because of it, and becomes the millet, is like a glass ball is the Xin'an lantern!

The expensive lantern with a diameter of three or four feet and made of five-color glass is a Su lantern!

The five-colored beads are used as the key, the drooping tassels, and the dragon boat, the phoenix, and the story of the tower are painted on the lamp, and the most eye-catching thing for young men and women is the bead lamp!

The carving is exquisite, the five-color makeup dyeing, and the most pleasing sheepskin lamp for children in the style of shadow play!

The weak bones are bound with a thousand silk knots, the light ball is dressed up, the broken Luo is red and white, the wisps are cut with a hundred flowers and thousands of eyes, and it seems that the clouds are shrouded in the moon, and the jewels surround the stars are the ten thousand eyes Luo lantern!

There is also the kind of horse riding lantern that is racing on a wheel, turning like flying, and the war scene is painted on the lampshade, which everyone loves to watch, and the audience is like a cloud!

But the most faint and faint attention is still the huge lamp mountains on the royal street that are several zhang high, or even more than ten zhang high! It was a congratulatory gift for moving the capital to the emperor from all over the provinces that spent countless people's wealth! That's why King Zhao will stand up for those lights and suppress the 'ignorant' Wang Xian...... It can not only please the emperor, but also show favor to local officials, and benefit without expense, why not?

Those lamp mountains, really like a hill, two or three hundred steps wide, with hundreds of wooden beams to build a skeleton, and then with a variety of lanterns, colored silk, glass, flowers decorated become, wait until the lamp mountain on the thousands of palace lamps lit, all kinds of fireworks and gunpowder ignited, the whole lamp mountain is fragrant and misty, the lights are brilliant, just like a fairy mountain!
