Let Us Drink from This Golden Cup Together
Chapter 928:Let Us Drink from This Golden Cup Together
On New Year's Eve, Beijing's doors were finally not dealing with government affairs at all, and the officials were able to go home for a reunion year with their families.And according to the rules of the past, in addition to entering the palace early in the morning to congratulate Tianzi on the new Jubilee, they can keep the holiday until the New Year's official duties began after the Lantern Festival.A long and a half month can be very pleasant for the courtiers who have already let go of their hearts.
However, this is only relative to those courtiers, such as the five city soldiers and horses or Shuntianfu on the shoulders of the public security gate is heavier than usual, always have to pay attention to the various safety of Beijing, afraid of where the fire, so that this festival of what to do.
And people like Lu Wei, who are actually quite laid-back on weekdays, have become busy in the first few days of the first month.The remuneration between the subordinates and colleagues of various superiors is really overwhelming, only more than ten days of work to drink seven or eight drinks outside, the whole people are a little faint.
Originally, Lu Wei had not yet had so many social offers, so he did a great favor to the officials of the DPRK and China this time, so that everyone was saved from disaster, and everyone always had to express it.And he in order to make more good for the brocade is not good to refuse, naturally can only work hard, one by one drink has passed.
It was not until the 14th of the first month that these drinks stopped.Because next is the Lantern Festival, many of the temples and shops in Beijing will take out the elaborate flower lights to show up on the streets of the city.And the people will also seize the last few days of the New Year's Day to play, or with their families, or with friends to take to the streets, to enjoy the beautiful moment when the moonlight and the human light meet.
And on the afternoon of the 15th of the first month, the courtiers in Beijing will enter the palace to see the son of heaven, after a banquet, it means that the people can receive the heart, to meet the challenges and busy in the new year.
This year is no exception, this year is no exception, in the people are still talking about the city's flower lights last night, Beijing hundreds of officials have put on the most solemn dress, wearing the girder crown, with the right pace, lined up slowly into the same kind of happy Forbidden City.
Although Lu Wei rarely participates in the dynasties, today's event must not be absent, so in the forefront of the group, he is also awe-inspiring, along the long-paved Han white jade ladder step by step to the square in front of the Taihe Temple, to visit the Heavenly Son who has already arrived here.
In the long-lived Qunshan, Zhu Qiyu held his hands full of red face: "You Ai Qingping ... Then, a small insider on his side stood up and began to read out a long-time e-right letter prepared by the cabinet ministers.
With the last sound, the courtiers bowed down again, congratulatory to the son of heaven, the emperor smiled again to let the people get up, so that the group of courtiers were appointed to the table in turn, ready for the monarch to use this banquet together.
Today, there are thousands of large and small officials in Beijing, and the Taihe Temple is in full swing even if it is large, so most of the officials are arranged in the open-air Taihe Temple Square, blowing cold air and eating the bar.Only officials who are tall enough or have titles can enter the palace with the son of heaven to enjoy this banquet.
But after all, this is a great honor for a courtier, so even eating a bar in the square is enough for many officials to boast for a long time.And the dishes on the banquet today are much more abundant than in previous years, and everyone outside the temple is the same dish, which makes the officials who are arranged outside the center more balanced.Fortunately, what you eat today is not worse than those who are dignitaries, even the utensils that hold wine and vegetables are also the royal things in the palace, which is really heaven.
What is more important is that, compared with the restraint of the Son of Heaven in the temple, the officials outside are obviously much more relaxed, and it is naturally more comfortable to eat and drink.
Indeed, at this time, although Taihe Temple members often raised a glass to greet each other, most of them were only shallow, and most of them were raised many times.It is not that the royal wine in the palace tastes bad, but the courtiers dare not really let go of their arms, if they drink too much, or even get drunk, and finally a gentleman loses their honor, the sin is too great.
Only when the day raised a glass to invite, everyone will take a small bite, and then put a chopsticks have already cooled dishes into their most chewing swallowed.This party is obviously much more formal than content.
But Zhu Qiyu, at this time, put it quickly, and soon there were several glasses of wine in the belly.Subsequently, through the sake of wine, he even lamented the long-term development and difficulty of the court in recent years, and deliberately mentioned several courtiers who had great credit with the court, so that the mood of the officials who were named was also agitated.
"I still remember more than a decade ago, when the emperor fell in the hands of the Tarant, Beijing hundreds of officials were worried, and there was a wa-jian army directly on the city of Beijing, because the old man stood up and called the Beijing officials and the army to resist the strong enemy, he saved Beijing and saved the Mingjiangshan."The emperor said with emotion: "If there is no power to turn the tide in the first place, everything will be completely different."Do not say that I am in the great life of my great Ming Dynasty today, I am afraid that even I can only be a prince of the dead country, laughing for future generations."
Then he raised his glass and said, "In the old cabinet, for you to make all the credit for me, and please drink this cup full."
Yu Qian quickly got up and thanked him, so he poured a full glass of wine into his mouth and finished: “Your Majesty’s words are heavy.”The courtiers do all this only for the sake of the ministers, so that they can repel the strong enemy, relying on the wise courage of His Majesty and the next heart of the three generals, the subordinates are only micro-grain, not worth mentioning."
"You are too humble, even if you do not mention the credit of more than ten years ago, just in these years you have been working hard for the court, hard work and hard work, is enough to call a soldier."The Emperor said excitedly.
This is not true either.Over the years, Yu Qian has always shouldered the burden in the DPRK and handled all kinds of major events and small things in order, which is not more than the former cabinet ministers.Lu Wei knows this well, and naturally has a feeling in his heart, fortunately, he changed his history, so that Yu Qian showed his skills in culture, which is naturally an excellent result for the Ming Dynasty.
Then the emperor honored several other heavy courtiers for a cup, and also ordered their various merits.Finally, his eyes settled on Lu Wei's body: "Wu Chengbo, if I seem to be on merit, except for the old man, this full of martial arts should be the first place with you."
"Your majesty is heavy, and he is afraid."He also said humbly.
"I am not a believer, you have not forgotten the credit I have made for me, I have not forgotten it."I remember more than a decade ago, it is because you stood up, so that the rumors of such relocation disappeared, and then you are supplemented by the old town to guard Beijing, and even you are willing to take a big risk to kill the enemy in the city as a civilian.This article alone was not something that ordinary officials had the courage to do.
"And then you again advocated the reopening of the sea ban, so that my great national strength can be quickly restored."Now I and the people can have such a scenery as they are today, and most of them depend on your advice to open the sea.
"Compared with this, you help the court to eradicate the white lotus and other evils, and the previous Beijing to solve the big case of the credit is not worth mentioning."But over the years, I have not dared to forget it for a moment or to forget it.”
“Your majesty . . . . the courtiers are grateful . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . To be able to say this in the face of the emperor as a courtier, it proves that he is very grateful to himself.Perhaps some of his previous thoughts are indeed too sensitive, Zhu Qiyu is finally a heavy emotional person.
"Come, send me this golden tart, and let Lu Qing drink a full drink of it."The emperor said, put the glass of gold in front of him into the hands of the eunuch next to him, and sent it to Lu Wei.
This is a natural enviable event.It is the cup of heaven, and it is willing to give Lu Wei to drink, what a glory it is.But we must also admit that the people present also have this qualification to get such courtesy, after all, in addition to the series of credit mentioned before, there is a big credit that no one dares to mention is also Lu Wei's work, that is, the court coup that is likely to subvert the status of the son in time.
Only Yu Qian, after seeing this action, the look is slightly changed.He was not jealous, but worried.This gold cup, in addition to glory, seems to have other meanings.
After taking the cup, Lu Wei also moved suddenly, and a famous saying suddenly flashed out of his mind - the gold cup was drinking together, and the white blade was not forgiving!
Is it because of this incident that the emperor already had a certain opinion of himself, and even wanted to threaten himself with such means?
The more I thought about it, the more I realized that this matter was likely to be true.Why should he bring such a cup to himself?It is not to remind yourself that you are not doing anything contrary to the will.Otherwise, even if he has made great credit, the emperor will not be lightly forgiven once he turns his face.
With the gold cup in his hand, Lu Wei's heart was heavy, and what he wanted to say was ultimately impossible.Will you and Judith finally get to that point?
“Thank you, Lord, for giving me wine!”But at this time, Lu Wei is also not good to perform, can only thank the cup, the cup of Chinese wine to drink.It was just that the long and long wine was a little bitter when it came to drink into his mouth.
Is it really irreparable?
@@@@@@
Well, New Year's Day, I always feel that I can't waste it, so ask for a ticket again, after all, it's not in the spring in the beginning of the year.
In addition, although the solar calendar has reached a new year, the lunar calendar has not yet moved, so it is still the year of the dog, and it is only after the end of the year that it is the year of the pig.
