Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

He was originally just an official of Guanglu Temple. Because he was martyred for his country in history, Zhu Youjian took him out of Beijing.

After the establishment of the capital of Han Dynasty, Yu Tengjiao was appointed as the chief minister of Guanglu Temple.

This is a five-level jump.

For the emperor, Yu Tengjiao was naturally extremely grateful.

Yu Tengjiao lamented that Guanglu Temple was a full-time temple dedicated to offering sacrifices, court gatherings, and banquets.

Since the emperor ascended the throne, his duties have been almost useless.

I even can’t remember the process of the state banquet clearly...

Looking at the lively scene in front of him, Yu Tengjiao's nose felt sour.

OK!

it is good!

Your Majesty can finally hold a state banquet with peace of mind!

Your Majesty finally has money!

Your Majesty no longer has to scrimp and live frugally!

God bless Daming!

……

It takes three times to spill wine on the ground, which represents the three talents of heaven, earth and man.

Every time a drink was poured, the smell of alcohol in the room became stronger.

Even at the Baiguan side, the wine and water merged into a stream, gurgling...

If Chongzhen were to resurrect this scene of extravagance and waste, he would definitely feel heartbroken...

After three times like this, Zhu Youjian picked up the wine glass again and said:

"I drink with all the workers!"

All the officials raised their wine glasses one after another. Seeing this, Zuo Liangyu hurriedly raised the wine glass in front of him and followed the other ministers, saying in unison:

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

……

Zuo Liangyu's wine glass was brought to his lips.

He took a brief taste, and sure enough, the cup contained a sweet drink with a light melon and fruit flavor.

Zuo Liangyu suddenly felt deep gratitude in his heart.

After drinking the fruit tea in the cup and putting down the wine glass, Zuo Liangyu saw the emperor nodding slightly to him.

Your grace is so great!

Zuo Liangyu's eyes warmed instantly.

For such a huge banquet, His Majesty actually remembered that he could not drink alcohol, so he specifically told it.

I……

Zuo Liangyu sniffed and suppressed the heat in his eyes.

He reached out and touched the general's seal on his waist.

After the banquet, return the army to Your Majesty!

Although it can't redeem the consequences of past actions, it can be regarded as a consolation for my wish.

……

After the emperor called on all the officials to drink, the next step was for the officials to toast the emperor.

Fan Jingwen stood up on behalf of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and delivered a blessing:

"The water is sweet and sweet. It is highly praised and recommended by Lingfang. It is cultivated by heaven and will not be forgotten in the longevity test."

I congratulate Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please drink from this cup! "

Following Fan Jingwen's words, all the officials picked up their wine glasses.

Zhu Youjian said:

"Drink with all the workers!"

After saying that, he held the cup in one hand and held it in front of him with the other. Along with the gesture of raising the cup, he covered his face with his sleeves and drank the wine in one gulp.

As the emperor put down his wine glass, the ministers took their seats one after another.

The second piece of music "The Song of Imperial Wind" was played.

From this point on, the reins were given to the officials.

The second toast was made by the general.

Zuo Liangyu stood up.

Among the generals present, he was a real and important minister.

He holds an army of 20, which is even more than the emperor's troops in terms of total military strength alone.

Zuo Liangyu choked and said:

“Everything in the world is not the king’s land, and the soldiers who lead the land are not the king’s ministers.

My emperor’s holy grace will last for thousands of years in the Ming Dynasty!

I congratulate Your Majesty!

Your Majesty, please drink from this cup. "

Zhu Youjian picked up the wine glass.

Zuo Liangyu held back the tears that were about to overflow, raised his head, and drank the fruit water in one gulp.

All the ministers drank up their drinks.

Zhu Youjian also used the military commander's salute, holding the cup in both hands, and drank up the wine in the wine.

There are nine banquets, that is to say, nine songs must be played, and all officials must toast nine times.

First, the head of the civil servants toasted, the head of the generals toasted, the head of the clan toasted, and then the remaining several times, the officials toasted at the same time.

In fact, the Han Dynasty always paid attention to the equality of power between monarch and ministers.

The rule that the king chooses his ministers and his ministers also choose the king can be reflected in all aspects.

Even the rules for this state banquet are the same.

The emperor dominated the opening, and the midfield was left to the officials.

Although it is said that the boundaries between monarch and ministers must be observed, the equal distribution of power between monarch and ministers can be seen in every detail.

Zhu Youjian drank the wine toasted by hundreds of officials. After two rounds of toasts, the young minister of Guanglu Temple wanted to bring soup to the emperor.

The eunuchs served soup to the officials.

The meaning of this soup is the world.

Duan Tang: Duan Tianxia.

(There are many rules for state banquets with different meanings. It is too troublesome to explain this. I will write down the process to try to reduce the length and let everyone know the specific operations. To be honest, I have not seen anyone in the novel. I have written a detailed process, after all, it is too difficult to verify.)

After the soup was placed on Baiguan's table, Zhu Youjian needed to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the food.

At this time, all officials have to stand up.

The implication is that royal interests come first.

After the emperor has placed the dishes, all the officials can take their seats.

Then, they also have to pick up the chopsticks and pick up the food once.

This is called praise!

That is to say, it means that the power of the officials is second only to the emperor, and it also means to thank the emperor for sharing the profits with them.

After all, since ancient times, there has been a cooperative relationship between emperors and officials of the Han family.

After all the officials put down their chopsticks, "The Song of Imperial Style" ended at the same time.

The third round of toasts comes on.

As the Zongzheng King of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Yujian delivered a congratulatory message and led all the officials to stand up and toast.

The emperor drank wine and all the officials took their seats.

At this point, the banquet officially started.

At this time, dance comes on stage. The first one is a martial dance called "Dance to Peace the World."

There is no music in this dance, only the accompaniment of drums and horns. It is usually performed by soldiers holding weapons and wearing armor.

It represents the martial spirit!

This time, the officials did not need to toast, but the monarch and his ministers drank together.

It represents the Great Tomorrow, which was defeated by the royal family and hundreds of officials.

After the martial arts dance, the dancers from Jiaofangsi began to dance in the central open space.

While watching, the officials followed the rhythm of the song and made a toast to the emperor at the end of each song.

Further down, in the third round, the band played "The Song of the Ming Dynasty" and danced "The Dance of Fuping the Barbarians".

After the song is finished, if there are foreign envoys present, the envoys will toast the emperor.

This order is very interesting.

The civil, military, clan, and everyone drank together, and then it was the turn of foreign envoys...

The debate between Hua and Yi in China can be seen in the toasting arrangement.

Domestic needs to be superior to foreign countries.

In the thinking of the Han family, a Chinese dog is nobler than a barbarian chieftain.

Isn’t the order of ancestors interesting?

For example, that person named Yan, who hired trolls everywhere, said that his article that disparaged China should win an award...

If the ancestor had been resurrected, he would have chopped it up and fed it to the dogs long ago!

In the fourth round, they played "The Song of Tiandao Zhuan" and danced "The Dance of Cars and Books".

This means that the Ming Dynasty won the country legally and orthodoxly.

The car and the book are in harmony, which refers to Qin Shihuang's "car on the same track, book on the same text, and the world is determined to be unified", which is a symbol of dynasty inheritance.
