Royal Road

Yuan Zuo at the beginning of the year, auspicious day but good. It is for the celebration and banquet in this high hall. The inferior and inferior are narrated, and there is a classic and chapter.

The "Poems of Zhenghui" written by Chen Si Wang Cao Zhi at that time is He Qihuanghuang. During the Yuan and Japanese dynasties, Gongqing's civil and military ranks at Duanmen. After the brazier in the palace is all fired, enter along Yunlongmen and Dongzhonghuamen and sit in the East Pavilion. The emperor came out, and the hundred officials were worshipped, offering congratulations and giving a banquet with wine. During the Taikang period, envoys from various countries would come to the court, and the scene was even more magnificent.

But now... Sima Rui sighed in his heart as he looked at the squeezed and crowded Baiguan in the small palace.

The palace in Jianye was rebuilt from the mansion on the site of the Taikang Palace in the Eastern Wu Dynasty. Nowadays, there are not enough palaces. It's so small and there is no royal capital. But what can be done? Just after the capital was moved, even the city wall of Ye was surrounded by bamboo fences. Even the financial resources for building a wall of earth are not enough, and the construction of a palace is even more illusory.

When stability is restored, the palace must first be rebuilt! Imagine that in Luoyang Palace, there were only sixteen and seven-zhang viewing towers. There are three hundred and twenty-eight pavilion roads in the Taiji Hall, which lead directly to the general chapter view. In the palace garden, the water flows around the Nine-Dragon Palace, and the toads are accepted and the dragons spit out, which is very ingenious. There is also the Jingyang Mountain, which was built by chiseling the quartz from Taihang and mining the aragonite from Gucheng, but it is just a corner of Hualin Garden... The old look of Luoyang is simply so fascinating.

When his thoughts were just floating, Sima Rui withdrew his distracting thoughts. It's not that he doesn't love the prosperous scenery of Luoyang, but that no matter how gorgeous the palace is, it can't compare to its current position. Beside him, the young emperor with sleepy eyes, swayed by the pressure of the diadem, sat on the throne with all his strength. Below the steps, there are black and crushed human heads, with many crowns and countless princes.

Below one person, above ten thousand people. Not everyone can taste this taste.

After the drumming ceased, Baiguan began to offer salutes according to the level of taste. For the sake of the great dynasty, Sima Rui also specially found a few merchants from Daqin to serve as envoys and set the scene.

However, today's focus is not on those Fans.

When I was not too old, I saw a man with a clear face approaching to the temple. After Yili bowed, he said loudly: "The general, Da Sima, and the governor of the three states of He, Ji, and Si, and Liang Feng, the Shangdang county. Congratulations to the emperor!"

This is the long-awaited moment by Sima Rui!

Since the Han Dynasty, during the Yuan and Japanese dynasties, all states, prefectures and states would send envoys to Beijing to report to the imperial court about their age, dimes, taxes, etc. in the past year, as well as offering congratulatory gifts to show respect. And this is also a manifestation of the imperial court's control over the place. However, since the rebellion of the kings and the establishment of the Xiongnu, the imperial court's control of the locality has been much weaker than before. There are not many state and county officials who can rush to send envoys in Yuanri, let alone pay taxes and report such important matters as the annual report.

Having just supported the new emperor ascended the throne and moved the capital to build Ye, what Sima Rui needs most now is the princes' respectful attitude towards the court. Unexpectedly, the state not only sent envoys, but also brought gifts! This can refresh Sima Rui's spirits!

The opportunity was rare, and he did not hesitate to arrange the envoys of Binzhou in the forefront. As long as this person appears on the stage, the attitude of Binzhou is the same. Liang Zixi is a great prince who holds the three states in the Northland. This humility is more important than anything else.

I didn't care about the eyes of others, after the envoy paid the salute, he offered the gift he had brought. When several little yellow gates struggled to lift the gifts, there was a buzzing noise in the whole hall.

"What is this?" The little emperor, who had been struggling, was attracted by the dazzling things in front of him, and asked with interest.

"Your Majesty Qi, this thing is called Liuliping. It is a precious treasure of the world." The envoy replied with a smile.

The large screens were unfolded in the court, and the top of each fragrant sandalwood screen was dotted with a piece of translucent glass. Moreover, the colored glaze is divided into colorful colors with complicated patterns. Put it in the hall, it's shining brightly!

Legend has it that Sun Liang, the king of Kuaiji in Soochow, once had a glass screen with 120 kinds of Ruiying pictures. However, since it can be carved, it proves that the screen is not a whole piece of colored glaze, but a patchwork pattern. The screen in front of me is completely different. The colored glaze on the top is mixed like a whole, almost one-third the size of a screen! Has anyone ever seen such a large piece of flat glass? Not to mention the wonderful colors and delicate patterns.

However, this is not the only gift. Then there were three hundred brocades, and two white porcelain incense burners were placed on the imperial stage. The brocade is beautiful and the furnace body is white. The decorations on the above are all cranes and grasses, and it looks even more gorgeous. Such treasures are incomparable to Shu brocade and Yue kilns, and they are treasures that have not been seen in the palace for more than ten years.

The princes of Manchu dynasty were envious. In this way, who else would dare to question Mr. Liang?

Seeing the chaotic crowd below, Sima Rui narrowed his eyes slightly, and felt comfortable all over. Even the envoys of Bingzhou didn't give taxes, so they didn't care. The three prefectures have always been in chaos, and it is not surprising that they cannot pay taxes and store them in the treasury. What's more, in addition to giving to the emperor, there is also a gift to his mansion. Such precious treasures cost millions of dollars, to say nothing. Which governor or governor is willing to give it up?

Liang Zixi, as he said, was to follow Feng Xindi and his Tai Fu. This attitude is more important than anything else!

Take a reassurance pill, Mo said Sima Rui, even the court is beaming. Seeing that the goal was achieved, Sima Rui completely let go of his heart and continued to receive congratulations from the officials with the emperor.

The ceremony was not fast, but not slow. When the sound of Shanhu Long live, the joy in Sima Rui's heart also reached the extreme. This year is really different from last year. There is no eclipse to add chaos, no riots to disturb. Hearing that Shi Le had started a mass murder in Yanzhou again, I don't know how many clansmen could be eliminated. If you can clear the obstacles for him, isn't this ninety-five seat at your fingertips?

It seems that God still favors this new dynasty!

Another year has passed. Sitting in the main hall of Chang'an Palace, Liu Yao was a little confused.

Today, Han State also follows the old rules and holds Yuanhui. There are many officials who have returned to the Kingdom of Jin in the DPRK, and it is not bad whether it is the scene or the momentum. But no matter how grand the ceremony is, it makes people uninterested.

The platform that popped up in Yongzhou before really caused Liu Yao a lot of trouble, and even hit Chang'an City for a while. But how could the Huns abandon this precious land just after they moved their capital? Combining the power of nine ox two tigers, finally defeated the rebellion. But that pseudo-emperor's platform has never been destroyed.

The imperial emperor Sima Ye did not know where was hidden by the group of thieves? After this great change, Qinzhou will probably be chaos again, and it needs to be calmed down again. In addition, the Xiongnu nobles in the dynasty who are ready to move are even more headaches.

Yuzhou and Yanzhou are still in control. But Shile's repeated begging for food and soldiers was overwhelming. The problem is that these soldiers cannot be withdrawn yet. In case there is no restraint, the state army will be deployed to take Pingyang and Hedong. Not to mention the old capital, Yanchi is so profitable, do you want to give it up?

Everything is annoying. But sitting in this position can't escape again. If he dared to take a step back, someone might bite him up and devour him alive. When will he be able to control the court inside and outside?

The heart is gloomy, but he can't show half of it on the face. Liu Yao sighed in his heart, just looking forward to a new year, a little smoother.

At the same time, Binzhou is also holding a Yuanhui. The scale of this Yuanhui is far greater than previous years. Not only did they gather together, but also Jizhou and Sizhou sent their subordinate officials to the meeting.

It is not quite the same as the Yuanhui next to it. The Yuanhui in Binzhou inherited Liang Feng's habit of being in Shangdang, and it has properly become a year-end summary meeting for reporting on work and integrity. Everyone has to ask about politics, and each has to make arguments. If there is an incorrect answer, he will be punished and resigned. Fortunately, many people have followed from the Shangdang all the way, and have long been accustomed to this set. There are no mediocre officials and embroidered pillows with no pens and ink.

After the evaluation, it was the official banquet. Sing and dance, toast and present. When the feast was over, it was dark.

After a year of training, Rao has improved a lot. After sitting for a day, Liang Feng's knees are still tortured. When I returned to the back house, I really didn't want to move.

"The lord may want to take a bath, to relieve the fatigue?" Yi Yan did not leave, and returned to the main courtyard with Liang Feng.

Taking a bath in winter is really unpleasant. What's more, with long hair, even if there is a maidservant, it will be troublesome. However, after hesitating for a moment, Liang Feng nodded: "Bubble is also good."

With his approval, the servant quickly moved the tub. The earth dragon is burning in the room, even if the clothes are solved, it is not difficult to endure, waiting to sit in the warm water, it is even more relaxing.

Yi Yan has rolled up his sleeves to loosen up Liang Feng's muscles and bones. His hands are much stronger than those of the maids, rubbing and rubbing, almost tossing the skeleton. But such a devastation also made the body aches and pains disappeared, exhausted, and only a deep sense of fatigue was left.

After being taken out of the water, dried carefully, and wrapped in his jacket, Liang Feng collapsed on the couch, feeling that he couldn't lift a finger. The dynasty of Jianye should have ended successfully, right? This time, he spent a lot of money on congratulations. But the glazed screens and white porcelain crane furnaces have been spinning around in the main hall. Are you afraid that no one will care about them?

In the gift to Sima Rui, a full set of newly developed essential oils, balsams and pink daikon were added. In this era when men wear makeup, it is simply a horrible thing not to engage in profiteering by-products. With such powerful ministers as Sima Rui leading the fashion, Jiangdong's consumption wave may be difficult to contain. Leaving the homeland and drifting away in a foreign land, those high-ranking gentry who want to come will also need more alcohol costumes to cover up their unrequited love?

Only when there is a desire to buy, can there be money and grain into the account. It has not snowed in Bingzhou, and the news of Sizhou and Jizhou is not very clear. In the new year, I'm afraid there is still something to be done.

By the side, the bed sank, and a body leaned over. Liang Feng yawned and curled up into the warm arms.

The man did not dodge, but moved his figure slightly to make him lean more comfortably. The wide palms caress the back, like soothing a lazy cat. Not long after, the breathing of the two of them eased, and they fell asleep together.
