Volume I: The Great Shang Palace, Chapter 291: The Palace Banquet (1)

Gongzi Yin talked endlessly about the beauty, and basically told all kinds of interesting things about going to Nanban, and Xin listened to it with a look of enjoyment......

The city of Shengdu was a prosperous scene, and the people were all rejoicing, and Fu said that since working with Zizhao, many new policies have been promulgated to benefit the common people of the big merchants.

Just like currency, the imperial court has processed, polished, drilled, engraved, and measured the size of the previously irregular shellfish coins, and classified the shellfish coins into goods shells and copper shells. Shellfish coins are classified according to size, which are large shellfish, strong shellfish, Mobei shellfish, small shellfish, and small shellfish without surplus......

The big shell is more than four inches and eight minutes, and the two pieces are a friend, and the straight is two hundred and sixteen. Zhuangbei is more than three inches and six minutes, and two pieces are a friend, straight fifty. Mo Bei is more than two inches and four minutes, and two pieces are one friend, straight thirty. Xiaobei inch more than two points, two for a friend, straight ten, not two inches, leakage must not be a friend; The rate of straight money three, is for the shellfish five products, ten inches two small shell coins for a string, two strings for a friend, straight one hundred......

The currency has a measure, which greatly reduces the difficulty of trade between the people, and also reduces the occurrence of such incidents of exchanging large for small, and the people are still very supportive of the new deal.

Finally on the day of the Yuan Festival on October 15, the sacrifice has changed from a small single sacrifice every day to a large sacrifice and a public sacrifice, and the sacrifice has also changed from the ancestral platform in the palace to the temple outside the palace to worship, before the time comes, the ministers and clan relatives came to the temple with the king of Zizhao to worship the gods first, and then sacrifice to the ancestors, and then start the hexagram to see the auspicious and evil of the year, rain and harvest and other matters, but today's hexagram, there are two more things, one is to ask for a name for the little prince of filial piety, and the other is to see that the marriage with the Lantern Festival princess of the Qiang country is auspicious or evil.

Ziwu is a person with outstanding ability, the day before yesterday, Queen Wu mentioned it in front of Zizhao in front of him, and he put everything in order, and the great witch was also replaced by Ziwu, and in just a few words, Zizhao and Queen Wu replaced the original great witch, and everyone had to admire Ziwu's ability to do things, and they were all deliberately speculating whether Ziwu would soon become the next great uncle.

Ziwu got the order that the marriage can not go wrong, the Lantern Festival princess's hexagram must be auspicious, the major affairs of the country, Ziwu knows how to be flexible, today's several hexagrams, after his advance arrangement, all seem to be very smooth, among them, the happiest is Queen Wu, the little prince filial piety has won the Tianqian hexagram, give a new surname as the ancestor, the name of himself, and the future generations will be called the ancestor, which means that the ancestor will be as great as the ancestors of the Great Shang in the future, and can encompass the territory again and dominate the world!

Today's greeting ambassador is Pangen, Pangen as the identity of Otsuka Zai as a greeting envoy, it is already the big business to give enough face to the Qiang country, Jiang Xin is quite satisfied with the arrangement of the king of Shang, and entered the palace with the mighty dowry.

In fact, Jiang Xin was guilty of this sister, so in addition to the dowry in the palace, he added some of his own, so he was very rich, in addition to the cattle, sheep and horses that have been placed outside the palace, there are also a number of unclean treasures, which blinded the eyes of the palace people, is this to be a concubine? It's just the same as being a queen's dowry, right?

I have to say that in addition to the lack of food, the Qiang Kingdom really has everything, but Zizhao is not stingy, in order to stabilize Jiang Xin, he prepared 5,000 loads of grain as a return gift!

Lantern Festival today at the post station to pick up Zizhao's royal order, got the brand and clothing, after changing on, on the Otsuka Zai Ganpan sent to welcome the carriage, all the way to the silk and bamboo lock, directly to the Yuanluan Palace, Queen Wu and Mrs. Yu, Mrs. Gui has gone to the temple, in view of the fact that Xin and Lantern Festival are more familiar, let Xin lead the other concubines and concubines to wait in the Yuanluan Palace.

Xin is also the first time to come to the Yuanluan Palace, and before he has time to take a closer look, the Lantern Festival carriage and horse arrived outside the palace gate.

There is a palace banquet today, everyone is wearing the tasteful clothes that they are usually reluctant to wear, each competing for beauty, very beautiful, listening to the sound of Taoist music, and hurriedly went out with Mrs. Xin!

Everyone thought that they had prepared congratulatory gifts, and they were allowed to be blessed with all kinds of blessings, but when they saw that Princess Lantern Festival was actually the shadow of Mrs. Xin's palace before, the words were stuck in their throats, and no one spoke, but fortunately, Xin already knew, and stepped forward and smiled: "Sister Lantern Festival is finally here, the sisters have been waiting for a long time, Sister Xing, come and lead the princess to the main hall!" ”

Xing was surprised for a long time, although she had guessed a little in advance, but when the reality came, it was still a little difficult to accept, and she was stunned for a few seconds before pulling out a standard smile and saying, "Princess Lantern Festival, please!" ”

Lantern Xiao walked into the main hall of the Yuanluan Hall with the support of the slaves and maids, followed by boxes and boxes of dowries, and the eyes of the concubines almost fell off, even Xin Du, who has always regarded money as dung, secretly spoke, no wonder she is always disliked, when she entered the palace, it was empty-handed, Zizhao's skin is really straight money......

…………

After the ministers returned to the palace, there was a more important court meeting to discuss, and only Queen Wu led the female dependents to continue to go to the palace banquet in the evening!

At the beginning of the dinner, all the ministers thought that there was nothing delicious like in previous years, there was some food, and they could not be opened to eat, but they didn't think that this year's banquet was very special, in addition to the delicious roasted whole sheep, there was also the secret recipe made by Yin Huadian to the kitchen, which was made of sweet and sour white radish, just to solve the greasy and fat of mutton, which was enough to be called a must for ancient and modern food!

Today's palace banquet is placed in the Long Live Palace, the sound of the bell is endless but not noisy, in order to celebrate the harvest of grain, but also to celebrate the joy of Zizhao and the Lantern Festival princess, Zizhao specially let people bring this year's new grain baked out of the wine, let the ministers taste it!

On the main hall, Zizhao and Queen Wu are on the throne, Mrs. Xin, Mrs. Fu, and Mrs. Gui are all at the bottom, Jiang Xin and Fu Shuo sit opposite the three ladies, and several concubines are sitting behind Mrs. Xin, and below are the ministers from the official to the official small, which also includes the marquis of each fan, the Lantern Festival is the role of the bride today, Queen Wu specially arranged for her to be under Zizhao, the most satisfying thing for her is that she is very close to Fu Shuo!

The ministers eat happily, the meal of roasted whole sheep praised, the sheep is finished, then put on some pastries, today the ministers can not only eat, but also drink a few sips of wine, the heart is very satisfied, laughter endlessly! A scene of harmony and prosperity among monarchs and ministers.

The crowd removed the roast lamb rack, and the hall ushered in singing and dancing, and then the banquet could be regarded as the real beginning!

"Everyone, it's rare to have a good year this autumn, and it coincides with the lonely concubine, come! Drink with loneliness! Zi Zhao was so angry that he drank it all, and the ministers covered their mouths with their sleeves and tasted a small sip, so they didn't dare to drink it!

At this moment, a burst of Xun sounded, and seven or eight women appeared with light steps and soft waists, orange tight-fitting gauzes, all of them raising Caijuan, as beautiful as a rainbow, just when people thought that this dance was the most wonderful part of the day, a fairy in red floated from above, and I don't know how she did it............
