Chen Qing is not good anywhere, it makes people itch with hatred.

But he has a little...

At the critical moment just now, he still didn't forget to protect her in his arms.

How can life be as one wishes?

If you marry someone like him, just accept your fate.

Chapter 257 Explosion Festival

Zigong sees wax.Confucius said: "Is it a joy to give?" Conversation said: "Everyone in a country is crazy, and it is also fun to give unknown." '(From "Book of Rites Miscellaneous Notes II")

The so-called wax is wax sacrifice.

Zi Gong used "everyone in a country is crazy" to describe the scene of the La Festival every year. One can imagine its grandness and grandeur.

The 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

The court will proceed as usual.

The world has been peaceful for a few years, and there is no such thing as a holiday in Daqin.

The Seven Kingdoms are in endless wars. If you take a few days off, the kingdom may be gone when you come back. Who would dare to take a vacation?

This year, however, was a bit of a surprise.

The first emperor announced before the dispersal of the court that from New Year's Eve to the third day of the first month of the first lunar month, officials and military officials should rest for four days.

People who serve corvee can be exempted from service for two days on New Year's Eve and La Festival, and there will be no compensation after that.

If you are unable to take the leave due to certain circumstances, it can be postponed until the middle of the year to make up for it.

At the same time, on the night of New Year's Eve, there will be a fire sacrifice outside Xianyang Palace. All the public, ministers, and common people can participate, and all people will enjoy it together.

The civil and military officials who were still listless suddenly cheered up, and looked at the first emperor who was behind the imperial case in shock and astonishment.

What's going on here?

Did they hear it right?

After reacting, all the officials burst into cheers and their emotions were high.

Ying Zheng's face was slightly worried, and he didn't bother with them, and left the hall quickly.

New Year's Eve is approaching, and the whole of Daqin is silent in the festive atmosphere, so there is no desire to work.

In the past, I would come to the court in the morning to make a point, and then go to the government office after the court, or go home directly.

This year is the first official annual holiday. Although it is only a short four days, the joyful performance of all officials is enough to prove how popular it is.

The first one to bring it up was Chen Qing, a lazy bastard.

Recently, he has been staying in the Leihuo Division every day, urging the craftsmen to produce fireworks, and complaining loudly when he returns home.

Ying Shiman felt uncomfortable hearing it, so she went into the palace and secretly told Concubine Zheng.

Then Ying Zheng knew.

He didn't care about other things, but Chen Qing's description of the grand scene of "a thousand trees blooming at night in the east wind" and "fish and dragon dancing overnight" particularly moved him.

There are other dynasties, and Daqin is not bad!

Soon, the officials of the Neishi Mansion posted the notices all over Xianyang.

The people in the whole city were ecstatic and rushed to tell each other.

New Year's Eve.

At dusk, luxurious carriages drove out of the mansions and headed towards Xianyang Palace.

People from well-to-do families put on brand-new clothes, helped the old and the young, and walked on both sides of the street talking and laughing.

The poorer ones stood eagerly at the door, waiting for the nobles to leave, and then called the young and old of the family to follow behind the team.

Outside Xianyang Palace is a square paved with bluestones, which can accommodate tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Rows of red lanterns hung high, attracting countless people to stop and watch.

Under the palace wall, seven or eight crucible furnaces were burning.

The newly smelted pig iron melted into molten iron under continuous burning, and Lifu stepped on the leather bag sweating like rain to heat it to a higher temperature.

"It's so lively."

When Chen Qing came with his family, there were already a sea of ​​people outside the Xianyang Palace, and the black heads could not be seen at a glance.

"It's been a long time since I've seen such a grand event."

"The last time the emperor brother was named the prince to worship the ancestors."

Ying Shiman was dressed in fancy clothes and accompanied him with a sweet smile.

"You go to the palace first, there seems to be something wrong."

Chen Qing patted the back of her hand and looked towards a chaotic place.

"Husband..."

"It's better not to cause trouble."

Ying Shiman glanced at it and probably guessed the reason.

It was nothing more than the noisy voices at the scene, which made the Gongqing Xungui in front unhappy, and sent out servants to scold the people.

"The explosion festival is presided over by my husband, how could something go wrong."

"Be careful, don't get lost."

Chen Qing exhorted and gave Song Mo a wink.

The latter and the four iron eagle swordsmen cleared the way ahead, forcibly opening a way through the crowded crowd.

When Zhao Chong was so busy, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.

"Chen Qing!"

Immediately, as if he saw a savior, a look of joy appeared on his face.

"I wonder who is acting as a demon."

"What a big stage!"

I couldn't see clearly from the outside before, but I can see it clearly when I get close.

The Great Qin has not been established for a long time, and it is the first time to prepare such a large-scale entertainment event, so the preparations are obviously insufficient.

Which of the wealthy nobles has hundreds of family members and thousands of servants.

According to their official positions and influence, they occupied a large area respectively, and formed a human wall with strong guards, where they drank, feasted and had fun.

After being circled one by one in this way, many low-ranking officials were squeezed into places close to ordinary people.

Crowds are turbulent, and they can't retreat even if they want to, so conflicts are naturally inevitable.

"Chen Fu Ling, His Majesty ordered you to preside over the explosive sacrifice."

"what should I do now?"

Zhao Chong hurried over to ask for instructions.

"What else can I do?"

"Clearance!"

"According to the official rank, put two rows of desks in front."

"The rest are not allowed to sit!"

Chen Qing said decisively.

"Eh!"

Zhao Chong was overjoyed.

It has to be you!

Who else could take on this kind of job of offending people, except Chen Qing, who was fearless?

Soon, a large number of iron eagle swordsmen without armor and weapons entered the arena, and began to discuss with the nobles in low voices, explaining to each other that it was an order from the inner government.

All eyes cast over.

There is resentment, there is inaction, there is contempt.

Except for a few who started to take the initiative to clean up, most of them fell on deaf ears.

"Ah."

"It's against you?"

"It's not the workers who sit in the Workers' Cultural Palace. It's not the people who enjoy the fun with the people."

"Play this with me?"

Seeing that the nobles were unmoved, Chen Qing was also annoyed.

"Old Mo, go and get two firecrackers, you need to be strong."

"promise."

Song Mo trotted away quickly, and brought the things back after a while.

Chen Qing hung up the firecrackers and was the first to go to Meng's circle.

"Meng Shangqing."

The guard gave way to open the way, and he walked in with a smile on his face, carrying firecrackers.

"Chen Fuling."

Meng Yi snorted coldly and stood up slowly.

"It's a coincidence that the whole family is here."

"New Year's Eve is approaching, I brought firecrackers over here to drive away evil spirits for everyone!"

After Chen Qing finished speaking, he took out the torch and made a gesture to light it on the guide rope.

"what are you doing!"

Meng Yi knew that he was recently supervising the manufacture of this new type of firecracker, which was filled with gunpowder!

There are all the old and young women and children at home, if it explodes right in front of your eyes, what's the deal?

"Didn't I say it, exorcise everyone!"

Chen Qing didn't stop moving his hands, and without hesitation he pinned Huo Huo on the guide rope.

laugh--

"Chen Qing, I'm not finished with you!"

Meng Yi turned pale with shock, and hurriedly backed away.

crackle!crackle!

Holding the bamboo pole, Chen Qing walked forward with a smile on his face.

Flames blazed and smoke filled the air.

The Meng family was overturned in an instant, and I don't know how many cups and plates were overturned.

Women and children screamed in terror.

"Come on!"

Meng Yi no longer cared about getting angry with Chen Qing, and fled in embarrassment protecting the old and weak at home.

Seeing this, the expressions of the rest of the officials kept changing.

Before Chen Qing came to chase them away, they honestly packed up their things.

"Is there no one who can punish this beast?"

"Rude! Disrespectful!"
