The generals were busy fighting in Guangxi, and Qin Mu, the emperor, was busy celebrating the New Year in Nanjing.

If he had a choice, Qin Mu would rather lead his army to Guangxi than stay in Nanjing for the New Year.

It's not easy to be an emperor, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, thousands of families are festive, and he is as tired as a dog.

From Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire palace began to prepare for the New Year's Day. First of all, Shang Baosi should set up the emperor's throne in the Zichen Hall of the Forbidden City, and set up the treasure case in the east of the throne and the incense case in the south of His Majesty. The Teaching Workshop Division should set up Zhonghe Shao Music (a kind of ceremonial music that only the emperor can enjoy) in the east and west of the Zichen Palace, and these furnishings are all sitting in the south and facing north.

At dawn on the first day of the new year, the inner guards will set up a halogen book, a guard of honor in the Dan Majesty and the Danqi, set up a fan in the palace, and the train will be in the Danqi. There are four whippers in the ceremony (this is an indispensable role in various ceremonies of ancient emperors, and the long whip in their hands is more than one zhang long, which is equivalent to nearly 4 meters in later generations), two on the left and right, all facing north.

The Teaching Workshop Division also set up bands that played royal music in the east and west of Danma, and they all faced north.

The ceremonial department set up two cases of Tongwen and Jade Silk in the east of His Majesty.

Jin Wuwei set up guards in the palace and Dan Majesty, the Han generals dressed in gold armor lined up from the main hall to the outside of the noon gate, the inner guard set up generals in the Dan Majesty to the outside of the Daqin Gate, and the emperor's dragon flag was arranged outside the Daqin Gate, all of which were set up in a column from the east and west.

The horses, rhinoceroses and elephants that are usually raised for the ceremonial guards are arranged in the south of the Wen and Wulou, facing east and west.

Si Chenlang, who is specifically responsible for telling the time, is located in the east of the inner road, near the north.

The two people who are specially responsible for checking whether the words and deeds of the hundred officials are purged are located in the north of Danqi, the two people who praise the inside are located in the palace, and the two people who are praised outside are located in the north of the Danqi, and the officials such as the system and the propaganda table are located in the palace, all in the east and west.

It's not dawn yet. The cold is pressing, Qin Mu is about to get up, and the palace maid will help him wear the twenty chapters of the God King, this kind of formal attire during the big ceremony, not only is it dressed exquisitely, but it is also divided into upper and lower clothes, one chapter, you can't fiddle with it yourself.

Queen Yang Zhi herself was also very busy, and Gu Hanyan led more than a dozen palace maids to help Qin Mu dress.

"Smoking. Okay? ”

"Your Majesty, it's going to be good."

"It seems that I have to change this costume, and I have to keep up with the times."

Gu Hanyan smiled and said: "How to change it in the future, that's a matter of Majesty, now, you have to hurry"

Qin Mu stretched out his hand and twisted her charming face, and said with a smile: "Hanyan, you have learned badly." ”

"Yes? Where did the concubine learn badly? ”

"Well, as for where I learned badly. In the evening, I will have a good examination before I can sue you. ”

Gu Hanyan took a sip of him, and said with a flushed face: "Your Majesty is now the founding emperor of Great Qin, so he has no shape." ”

Qin Mu sighed: "Wait for me for a morning." You have to put on a sacred and solemn appearance, don't you understand me, do you have to keep a face now? ”

Gu Hanyan was distressed by what he said, hugged his waist and said, "Your Majesty." When the big gift in the court is over, His Majesty will return to the palace, and the concubine will help you massage."

"You. That hand strength is only suitable for embroidery, this person is as weak as water, I still feel sorry for you, and it will not be easy for you to wait. Just be careful not to tire yourself too much. ”

"Majesty" Gu Hanyan hugged him tightly, and his heart was warm.

The drum is strict at the beginning, also known as the head drum, marking the beginning of the ceremony, and the twelve chapters of Qin Mu's emperor are finally worn.

At this time, a musician of Jiaofang Temple beats the big drum on the side of Fengxianmen, first beats the drum frame, and then beats the drum heart continuously with a double qi, a heavy beat and a light beat, the rhythm changes from slow to fast and then from fast to slow, and the drum sound changes from weak to strong, and then from strong to weak;

After such a three-way drum, Qin Mu sat on the dragon chariot and set off, and the Jiaofang Division Band began to play "neutralization music". Shang Baosi officials walked in front of the emperor with the emperor's imperial seal in their hands, and the guide officer served as the lead.

After coming to the Zichen Hall, the Ming fan that had been placed here was opened, the bead curtain was rolled up, and the officials of the Shangbao Division placed the imperial seal on the treasure case that had been set up in the east of the throne in advance.

At this point, Qin Mu is like a puppet, commanded by the ceremonial officer, and the ministers are even more miserable, kneeling, kowtowing, getting up, kneeling, kowtowing who does not have thick knee pads tied to their knees, this is a necessary magic weapon for the Zhengdan ceremony, otherwise in this winter, the ground is cold and hard, kneeling non-stop, tossing for a long time, and you can't even walk the road.

It's just that this Zhengdan ceremony, if you don't hold it, you can't do it, who made us a state of etiquette, there is no lengthy etiquette, are you embarrassed to say that you are a state of etiquette?

Everyone tossed together, and after two hours, after a series of tedious ceremonies, everyone was exhausted, and the ceremony ended.

Both the emperor and the officials, including the people and soldiers who participated in the ceremony, were tired enough.

Queen Yang Zhi is not easy, she also wants to set up the queen's throne in Kunning Palace, and accept the congratulations of the palace concubines and the minister's family members. A set of etiquette is not much easier than Qin Mu.

It can be said that the ceremony on the first day of the first lunar month is a difficult task for both the royal family and the ministers, and it is a severe test for the mental and physical strength of the participants. In addition to accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials, the emperor also had to hold his own family's "private sacrifice", that is, to sacrifice his ancestors with family rituals.

From midnight to noon, Qin Mu and Yang Zhi, the "hard-working mandarin ducks", were so tired that their faces were bleak, their breath was so anxious, and their lungs were like pulling a stove.

The son is three years old, sensible, and knows that his father and mother are tired, so he quietly came up to greet the New Year, and he is very well-behaved.

Well, there's a reward!

Daughter three months old, this girl is not a good stubble, she opened her small mouth and howled when she came up, her voice was loud, Qin Mu coaxed weakly: "Mingyue, be good, don't cry, Daddy will tell you about the Pleasant Goat and the Big Big Wolf, Ye'er"

"The son is here."

"Your sister will be handed over to you, coax."

Qin Ye looked at his sister who was howling, stretched out his finger and pointed to the nurse outside the hall and said, "Father, my sister is hungry, let the nurse come in and feed her." ”

Qin Mu rolled his eyes and said to Yang Zhi: "Lady, do you think this kid is good at shirking responsibility, or is he good at solving problems?" ”

Yang Zhi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, Ye'er is still young, just go back and train him." ”

Qin Ye was anxious, pointed at his sister and said, "Father, sister, she is really hungry, father, you see, she bites her fingers and eats." ”

"Ye'er, your statement is too cruel, it should be sucking, not biting, forget it, take her to feed."

"Yes, Father."

Qin Mu turned around and said to Yang Zhi: "It's okay, plus a good at finding problems, this kid is not bad." ”

Now Yang Zhi was happy, and replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's nothing, don't praise him." ”

"Lady, I found that your sentence is the most fake, and I wish I could praise it more."

"Majesty" Yang Zhi's face suddenly turned red.

The couple had just said a few words, and Han Zan Zhou hurriedly walked in to give a salute: "Your Majesty, the night is not closed to the command so that Huang Lianshan has something to play." ”

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, if it wasn't a big event, Huang Lianshan would definitely not dare to disturb at this time. Qin Mu was worried that something was wrong with the war in Guangxi, so he hurriedly asked people to bring Huang Lianshan in, and he himself got up and came to the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

"Minister, see Your Majesty."

"Okay, I've tossed enough today, let's talk about something."

"Your Majesty, it is the news of the Western Regions, the minister has just received an urgent message, the 60,000 troops of the Dzungar Department suddenly invaded the Yarkand Khanate in the Western Regions a month ago, the troops arrived, the momentum was like a bamboo, and in one fell swoop captured the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains, and the Turpan and Hami regions, as well as soldiers and horses looting outside the Yumen Pass, and there was a fierce battle with our defenders, our army suffered more than 200 casualties, and the Dzungar soldiers temporarily retreated, and attacked the capital of the Yarkand Khanate to the south."

The news brought by Huang Lianshan made Qin Mu secretly clench his fists, and the Dzungar Ministry took action, I don't know if it was the success of the old Taoist persuasion, or if Batur had already seen the opportunity of the infighting between the father and son of the Yarkand Khanate, and actually started to act.

He swept away the Yarkand Khanate like a bamboo, and before the fight was over, he dared to lead troops to invade Yumen Pass, it seems that the situation in Hexi will change greatly!

"Someone, pass on the cabinet minister and the military department to enter the palace to discuss matters."

"Whoa!"
