Everyone is attacking me

Chapter 53 Mid-Autumn Festival┃Trance.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is the most important festival outside the Yuan Dynasty during the Spring Festival of Wei Dynasty. Almost from the beginning of August, the palace and the palace became lively. The chatting and pleasantries were all related to the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, it caught up with the release of the Legend of the White Snake, which doubled the excitement.

The mid-autumn festival of the Great Wei Dynasty had a three-day official holiday, starting from the fifteenth day and ending on the seventeenth day, and it was not advisable for officials to enter the palace to enjoy the moon worship with the emperor.

Now that cement roads have been built across the country, the common people pack up their bags and go back to their hometowns to visit their relatives, especially those who have been floating in Chang'an all the year round. They are no longer going out for four or five years. Only once can I go back. Long-distance passenger transport is spreading all over the country. You only need to pay a small fare to go home, and you don’t have to worry about spending months on the road.

It is said that some merchants are already researching faster horse-drawn carriages among the people, especially after the appearance of the Invention and Creation Award, they are all trying to compete for the first place.

According to the usual practice, the concubines were favored by the emperor on this day, allowing their family members to visit the palace.

So early in the morning, the family members of the concubines who had submitted the list in advance entered the palace one by one.

Empress Liang Cairen is fine, they have the memory of their original body, so it is not difficult to deal with, the trouble is Song Jie, not only does he not have the memory of Song Jieyu, he is still a man at heart, his behavior is the same as the original Song Jieyu The difference is not even a star, even if amnesia is used as an excuse, it will inevitably be suspicious.

Fortunately, concubines other than the empress are not allowed to bring their personal maids into the palace, otherwise Song Jie would have been suspected by the personal maids, and that's the case. With his behavior of dying at the beginning, he still called the palace servants assigned to him. Confused, it was the queen who replaced him with a group of palace servants.

But the Song family came specially from Taiyuan, so they couldn't see them.

So in desperation, the queen mother had no choice but to go to battle in person, and came to a group meeting on the grounds that she wanted to hear interesting things from the outside world.

The affairs of the relatives were left to the Queen Mother and the Empress, while the Yuan and Qing Emperors were responsible for entertaining the clan relatives. After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so even if each family stayed alone at night, they still had to get together during the day.

At least take stock of which elders are gone again, or which cousins, cousins, cousins, cousins ​​have accidents, etc.

It sounds harsh, but it is the truth.

There are too many people in the clan, especially those who have been passed down for several generations. The relationship with the Yuan and Qing emperors is already far away. Except for the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Spring Festival, these people can hardly enter the palace on weekdays, nor can they see the Yuan and Qing emperors. It was played, but the emperors of the Yuan and Qing Dynasties were so busy every day, and they basically read the instructions and followed the rules, so they put it aside.

For example, this year, three elders passed away, six more were seriously ill, one cousin fell off a horse and died, one cousin died of drunkenness, two cousin sisters died of illness, and several nephews and great-grandchildren were born, etc. It took half a day to finish, and the babies who died without sequence were not even mentioned.

Because the Yuan and Qing emperors were always reticent and dignified, the feasts were usually quiet except for the dancing and music in the center, and everyone would not even make too much noise when eating, and even if they wanted to speak, they would first look at him and look at his face Consider speaking.

In fact, it was not like this at the beginning. When Emperor Yuan Qing was young, there were also ambitious and malicious people in the clan who had done things openly and secretly. Even the cabinet was bribed. Later, they were jointly suppressed by the Queen Mother and Zhou Shoufu. .

It was the first time that Emperor Yuanqing saw someone being tortured with his own eyes. It was his own clan. He was only eight years old at that time, and he watched the whole scene with the insistence of the Taifu. From then on, he knew that the world is full of so-called blood. Relatives who are thicker than water cannot fully believe it.

It was also from then on that he worked hard to practice the skill of showing emotions without showing emotions, and he trained himself into a facial paralysis, and finally managed to make everyone fear him.

But now that his status is stable, his contemporaries have basically been raised and abandoned because of what happened back then, and his attitude towards his clan is relatively gentle.

This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is different from previous years. It is more like a parent meeting than a Mid-Autumn Festival.

Yes, parents will.

Emperor Yuan and Qing sat at the head, and King Su was the nearest at the bottom, and the rest of the clan lined up on both sides. The people who were supposed to be smiling desperately had different expressions at this time.

For no other reason, Emperor Yuan Qing ordered the little eunuch to hand out a stack of papers.

This is the result of the monthly examination in the second month. It was originally scheduled to be placed at the beginning of the month. Emperor Yuan and Qing thought that the fifteen relatives would enter the palace, so they asked Shao Yan to postpone it for a few days, in time for the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. The ancestors talked well.

"I think you all know why I reopened the Palace School." Emperor Yuan Qing kept his expressionless expression on his face. He sat much higher than everyone else, and his cold eyes swept over him. The clansmen who got the papers all rushed He lowered his head, especially those who got bad grades, at this moment, he wished to arrest his son and give him a good beating.

Emperor Yuan Qing didn't mean to blame them. After all, these students didn't understand what they learned, and even if they wanted to teach them privately, they couldn't teach them. They just didn't like their attitude of passing by. After a while, their vigor and self-motivation were all polished, but they had to do that. Sure enough, since ancient times, things have never been perfect.

"I will make it clear to you today that after the first Qingming Festival, I got a gift from heaven. It is inconvenient for me to disclose the specifics, but you must have seen what happened in the past few months, cement, firearms, newspapers, and I got rice and wheat. There are a few new crops that are comparable to each other, all of which are high-yielding, and have been harvested recently, and I will present them for you to see later."

Most of the corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes are ready to eat. The third issue of the Times will announce the news after the Mid-Autumn Festival. It doesn't hurt to tell them in advance.

Everyone in the audience was astonished, and their clever minds had suspicions, after all, the knowledge brought back by the child was too novel.

Regardless of what they thought, Emperor Yuanqing continued, "You must have seen the world map, so what do you think?"

He never let the students hide it from his family. Moreover, the second issue of the newspaper has already popularized the general distribution of the earth's land, and now everyone knows it. Even if the Mid-Autumn Festival comes, it still arouses a lot of discussion.

The crowd looked at each other in blank dismay, obviously not sure what the emperor's attitude was, and dared not speak rashly.

Emperor Yuanqing sighed in his heart, as expected, he was pressed too hard, and he lost all courage.

"Chen..." Suddenly someone said, with some hesitation, Emperor Yuan Qing looked at him, he was a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, depending on his seat, he was probably a descendant of Uncle Kang.

The young man shrank his eyes when he met him, and seeing that he didn't mean to blame him, he ignored the eyes of his family members and boldly said: "The ancients said that the world is full of kings, and the shore of the land is the king's ministers. It is said that there are no lands overseas, and the barbarians and barbarians should all submit to my great Wei!" Pause, bowed deeply, quite desperately, "My nephew is willing to follow the example of King Hengshan of the previous Zhou Dynasty and open up territories for His Majesty. I will die!"

It turned out to be a nephew. The Yuan and Qing emperors looked at the young man. He was bold, alert, intelligent, and able to make decisions at critical moments. Not bad, and he also had scheming. The king of Hengshan spent his entire life as a soldier in the previous Zhou Dynasty. He pacified Tubo, Yunnan, and Guizhou. , the most important thing is to start well and end well. Using Hengshan King as a metaphor for yourself shows the meaning of the metaphor.

This little bit of caution is nothing, and even though he looks bold, his heart is in a mess, it can be seen that he is still flustered, but if he is really calm, he will have to think twice.

The clansmen were frightened by his boldness, and King Kang hurriedly stood up: "Your Majesty, don't listen to this wicked nonsense, what does Huangkou Xiaoer know, my minister—"

Emperor Yuanqing stopped his words with a look, waved his hand directly to signal him to step back, and looked at the young man: "What's your name?"

The boy's body shook, he straightened up quickly and replied: "Nephew Wei Heng, father is the late King of Jian'an County."

Emperor Yuanqing suddenly understood that he was the posthumous son of Uncle Kang's son, and also understood why Wei Heng had put all his eggs in one basket. Uncle Kang's sexuality has always been absurd, and he married the princess for several years before he had a son. His father personally conferred the title at the request of Concubine Kang. However, within a few years of his father's departure, the Jian'an County King died of illness. He was young at that time, and the clan was in chaos, so he couldn't care about it at all.

In his memory, he still had a vague impression of Jian'an County King, and said: "I remember your father's temperament is quite gentle, but?"

Wei Heng was so excited that his eyes were red: "Yes, Your Majesty remembers correctly. Although my nephew has never met his father, but according to his mother, he is indeed a very gentle and kind person."

【Father, Your Majesty still remembers you, actually remembers...】

Emperor Yuanqing sighed in his heart, and said: "You are not bad. Since you have this ambition, I will help you. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, come to Zishantang to study."

Ambition alone is not enough.

"Yes." Wei Heng was overjoyed, and immediately bowed down.

About Wei Heng set an example, and then Emperor Yuan and Qing asked again, how many dared to come out to express their opinions, and they were all teenagers. Although they were not as bold and astute as Wei Heng, they were not bad. After learning mathematics, physics and chemistry from his younger siblings, Emperor Yuan and Qing allowed a few people to study in the palace.

This year's Mid-Autumn Banquet has no singing and dancing, but a performance prepared by 23 students, or playing piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or reciting poems or displaying their ingenious works. Even the three youngest came up hand in hand and sang a water tune song. , This is the famous song of the former Empress Dowager Zhaoci.

While the students were performing, Emperor Yuanqing asked someone to present the prepared corn potatoes and sweet potatoes. There were five recipes for each dish. They figured it out on their own.

Emperor Yuan and Qing had already eaten all kinds of potatoes and sweet potatoes, so he only tasted some corn porridge.

King Su did the same, pinching corn kernels and playing with them in the palm of his hand.

Emperor Yuan and Qing saw it from the corner of his eye, and asked Liang Zhong to come over and give some instructions.

King Su was watching two children blowing ink and drawing on the paper. Suddenly, a little eunuch came to his desk in a hurry, bowed to him, then put down a food box, opened it, and took out a bowl of eggs. Fried rice and a few small dishes of side dishes were placed in front of him, then he saluted and left with an empty food box.

Su Wang was stunned, a trace of disbelief flashed in his heart, and he turned his head to look at Emperor Yuan Qing. He was afraid of revealing his affection for Yuan Yuan in front of everyone, so he never restrained himself from looking more, but now he couldn't help it.

At this glance, he happened to meet Shang Yuanyuan's gaze. There was a smile in those cold eyes, which made his heart pound. But only for a moment, Yuanyuan withdrew his gaze, and gently pointed his thin white fingers. He stroked the end of his eyebrows.

This is their code word!

King Su rubbed his fingers twice. It was the secret sign they had set each other behind the back of the Taifu in Zishantang when they were young, and Yuan Yuan still remembered it!

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the simple fried rice with eggs on the table. His heart was so hot that he couldn't restrain the corners of his lips that wanted to rise. He picked up the spoon and ate all the fried rice in the bowl.

The mid-autumn banquet ended at [-]:[-] in the afternoon, and the clan and relatives left the palace one after another. Emperor Yuan and Qing were washing and changing their clothes, planning to meet the queen mother. The queen sent a maid to send him an invitation letter. Surprised, he asked Liang Zhong to come up and open it.

Dear His Majesty the Emperor:

At Xu time tonight, the first Mid-Autumn Festival Gala of Dawei will be held in Chengbi Hall, Jifang Garden, and you are specially invited to attend.

All members of the Traveler Protection Association look forward to your visit.

August 12th in the [-]th year of Yuanqing.

Emperor Yuan Qing laughed in his heart, picked up the invitation letter and looked through it carefully, and couldn't help being curious, what are the queen and the others trying to do?

Thinking about it, when he arrived at Xushi, he took Liang Zhong to Jifang Garden.

On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace lanterns were hung in the palace. Although they were not as good as Shangyuan, they were also very interesting. When they entered Jifang Garden, they couldn't help being taken aback when they saw the scene in front of them.

All the lights around were turned off, only the trees on both sides of the road leading to Chengbi Hall were covered with lanterns, these lanterns were only the size of a ball, looking from a distance, they looked like stars hanging on the branches.

There are also blooming lotus lanterns on the ground along the road, only the size of a palm, walking all the way, as if walking on the light.

Emperor Yuan Qing couldn't help shaking his head with a smile. I'm afraid no one can compare to these traversers in terms of novelty and interest.

After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a figure standing at the fork in the road ahead, standing under the bright lights, straight and resolute, like a rock, unwavering, seeing him coming, smiling and saluting: "Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuanqing looked at King Su standing under the tree from a distance, maybe it was the bright moonlight, or maybe the lights were so beautiful, his heart suddenly moved, and a strange feeling came to his heart.

King Su took a few steps closer: "Liang Ping'an sent an invitation letter to Shao Yan and me. Because he didn't get His Majesty's permission, he didn't dare to go in rashly, so he could only wait here."

Shao Yan stepped forward and saluted: "Your Majesty."

"Ah, oh." Emperor Yuan Qing hadn't completely pulled out of the trance just now, "Are you there?"

Shao Yan: ...

No, I'm not here, no, please pretend I don't exist.
