He has not lived enough

According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, the double lotus and the peach blossom have their own meanings, especially the jade pendant engraved with the double lotus,

Here, Zhao Yu didn't know anything about the empress dowager Shen's emotion, and when the palace people who gave the food retreated one by one, Zhao Yu was also a little sleepy——

Compared with staying up late at all times before, he has now developed the good habit of going to bed before ten o'clock.

However, since it is to watch the new year, at least it must be kept until the twelfth hour. When the twelfth hour arrives, firecrackers and fireworks will be released from all over the palace.

Amidst the deafening sound of cannons, people congratulated each other on the New Year. Zhao Yu also waved his big hand with a smile on his face, and gave various mascots to the palace people for rewards.

The hall was bustling with activity, and the sound of fireworks and cannons outside the hall became more and more intense, and some palace officials came to invite the nobles to go out and watch.

Most of Zhao Yu's drowsiness disappeared after such a lively event, and he went to the palace to watch with Empress Dowager Shen.

He thought that the ancient fireworks were relatively simple and could not play any tricks, but unexpectedly, they were eye-opening after seeing them.

In addition to field mice running wildly on the ground, there are also colorful flower tubes that bloom like thousands of flowers. What surprised Zhao Yu is a kind of firework that can use gunpowder to fly into the air with a paper Zhong Kui. Turning around, Zhao Yu was dumbfounded.

The Empress Dowager Shen couldn't help being happy when she saw that he had never seen the world: "In the early years, Ai's family had seen a whole fireworks show. There were hundreds of high and low displays, and the fireworks released were like shadow puppet shows. In this way, Zhong Kui fights ghosts, there are golden Buddhas who ascend to the lotus step by step, and there are also golden boys and girls playing with each other, that's what makes it so lively."

"But your royal father has seen it a few times and thought it was too extravagant and wasteful, so he won't let you do it again. The Ai family hasn't seen these for many years. Does your majesty think it looks good?"

Zhao Yu looked at it and said, "It looks good, but it's too wasteful."

Zhao Yu originally thought that Dajin was quite backward in terms of gunpowder. Who would have thought that they would not use such good technology to make firearms, but instead use it to make these fun things. Isn't this a waste?

As long as a decent firearm can be produced, let alone the rebel army, even the Xirong army will blow them back with their tails between their legs.

Seeing that he spoke sincerely and had the answer in her heart, Empress Dowager Shen also felt relieved, and said to him: "Ai's body won't be able to survive the whole night, let's go back and rest first, Your Majesty, don't be greedy, after a while Go back to Gong Nuannuan to sleep for a while, I still have work tomorrow."

When she said this, Zhao Yu couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that there was going to be a big court meeting tomorrow. Not only would hundreds of officials come to pay New Year's greetings, but he would also receive envoys from various countries.

"My son understands, the queen mother will go slowly."

Pulling himself together and grinning, Zhao Yu sent the Empress Dowager Shen away, and everyone else followed suit, and the banquet was over.

After watching the fireworks for a while, Zhao Yu summoned a chariot and went back to the palace when the noise slowly subsided.

but……

Hearing the sound of firecrackers still ringing intermittently in his ears, Zhao Yu, who was sitting on the chariot, figured out the smell.

Since Empress Dowager Shen has said that she has not held this fireworks show for many years, why did it start again with him?

It's not that the original owner likes to have fun and extravagance, and some people are thinking about trying to please him.

No wonder Empress Dowager Shen asked him that way just now, probably because she wanted to see his attitude.

Zhao Yu chuckled in his heart. If it was the original owner, he would probably like this kind of ostentation, but it would be a waste of effort to curry favor with him.

It's not that he doesn't like watching fireworks, but what's the use of watching them for fun?His primary goal now is to save his life!

But then again, if you can't go up and down, follow suit. Since some people do this, it means that in most people's minds, Zhao Yu is a fool who loves pomp and luxury.

The road to transformation is long, and you still need to work hard.

After returning to the palace, Zhao Yu quickly got into bed to warm up, and Zhang Defu also came back after delivering the rewards, and brought him ginger tea. After drinking a cup, he finally warmed up.

Seeing that Zhao Yu's face was rosy, Zhang Defu reported that the rewards from various mansions had been delivered. Among them, Zhao Yu specially ordered Ning Wang Mansion and Bai Mansion to go there in person, so he could rest assured.

Passing the teacup to Zhang Defu, Zhao Yu asked, "Did King Ning say anything?"

In previous years, King Ning and the others would come to the palace to watch the year on New Year's Eve. Zhao Ke had been beaten up earlier, but this year King Ning used this as an excuse to avoid the future.

Zhao Yu knew that he meant to be tempting, so he gave them two more dishes and two jade ruyis to appease them.

Zhang Defu said: "The son is still bedridden and can't get up. Prince Ning came out to greet him in person, kowtowed to thank His Majesty for the reward, and apologized for the son and waited for him to recover before entering the palace to thank His Majesty."

Zhao Yu nodded lightly and didn't say anything else. What King Ning and his son wanted was to let others see that the emperor was still kind to them, so he would give it to them. Anyway, there is nothing to lose by pretending, so let them be proud.

Zhang Defu vaguely sensed that Zhao Yu's attitude was different from before, coupled with the recent signs, Zhang Defu had some guesses.

As a servant who watched Zhao Yu grow up, Zhang Defu was naturally happy with this change.

Those methods of Prince Ning and his son are just using family affection as a cover, and it is not difficult for a discerning person to see what kind of security is behind them. It is his little Majesty who is pure and simple-minded, so he will be fooled by these so-called relatives.

Zhang Defu couldn't directly tell the emperor what was wrong with the father and son, so he could only occasionally remind him by insinuating, but limited by his status, he couldn't say much. Now that His Majesty can distinguish clearly by himself, it would be great.

Though thinking about it like this, Zhang Defu didn't say much, and Zhao Yu asked again: "How is Bai Xiang?"

Zhang Defu replied: "I sent it according to what you said, and the extra share for Mr. Bai was also delivered. According to what you said, the old slave sent it in private, but Mr. Bai met Cicai and you The object of the reward seems to be a little distracted, but I also thanked the reward and didn't say anything more."

Because he didn't want more people to know that the relationship between the two of them was easing up and attract the attention of interested people, on the surface Zhao Yu's rewards to the Bai Mansion were the same as in previous years, but in fact he added two more things for Zhang Defu to privately give to Bai Qingyu.

Hearing that he accepted Zhao Yu was relieved, and said happily: "Just accept it, he must not let me down."

Zhao Yu specially gave Bai Qingyu a soup of pine nuts and peach blossoms, and also a sapphire and lotus flower pendant.

The reason why I gave these two things is that Zhao Yu made a mental note when I had dinner with him before, and remembered that this cold-looking Bai Xiang probably likes sweets, and secondly, the pine nuts, peach blossoms, and double lotus are all symbols of marriage. .

Although he didn't show it, Zhao Yu felt that Bai Qingyu still cared a little about his marriage when they chatted last time.

It's no wonder that in Dajin, he can be a father long ago at his age, but Bai Qingyu is still single, and his marriage is really tortuous.

Zhao Yu felt that although he was not the real emperor, he still had some dragon spirit. He personally gave Bai Qingyu these marriage-seeking things, which might bring some good luck to Bai Qingyu.

Now that he has decided to embrace this golden thigh, he must be caring for him in both work and life. Zhao Yu believes that if this continues, the relationship between him and Bai Qingyu will go further, laying a solid foundation for him to complete the task as soon as possible. Foundation!

Here Zhao Yu felt flattered that he was really a good emperor who cared about his courtiers, while Zhang Defu hesitated for a long time but still didn't express his doubts.

According to the customs of the Jin Dynasty, the double lotus and the peach blossom have their own meanings, especially the jade pendant engraved with the double lotus, which is usually given to the favorite man as a token of love.

Our Majesty... Did no one tell him about this custom in the palace, or did he know... but specially gave it to Bai Xiang?

Zhang Defu shrank his neck and didn't dare to think about it anymore, as long as His Majesty is happy, that's not his concern!

Full of satisfaction with the things he gave, Zhao Yu fell asleep amidst the intermittent sound of firecrackers, but was woken up before an hour had passed.

Zhi Leng stared at Zhang Defu's old and attentive face, Zhao Yu was suddenly confused about who I am and where I am.

Squinting his eyes like a walking corpse, he cooperated with the palace servants to wash him up, changed into a crimson gauze robe, put on a celestial crown, and neatly changed into a whole set of dresses. When the cold wind blew, he shivered and woke up.

Looking at the bare tree branches and the miserable palace lanterns, Zhao Yu shut himself up.

If someone asks at this moment, have you ever seen the Dajin Palace at four o'clock in the morning?

Zhao Yu must answer angrily: laxatives, people are in the palace, just got up from the dragon bed...

New Year's Day!It's four o'clock in the morning!He has to get up...

How can he be a foolish king? The donkeys in the production team don't work as hard as him...

Sadly wrapped in a cloak, Zhao Yu started the day's business.

First went to worship the gods and Buddhas, offered incense to the ancestors, and then went to Fushou Palace to pay New Year greetings to Empress Dowager Shen. By the way, I took the time to have breakfast there, and then rushed to the Qianzhen Palace to attend the grand court meeting without stopping.

The Great Court Meeting is held twice a year, the first day is the first day of the new year. In addition to courtiers coming to worship, local officials from all over the country will also come to Kyoto to meet the emperor on this day. In addition, envoys from various countries who have contacts with the Jin Dynasty will also come to pay homage. Even if these people are not brought along, there will be five thousand people for the guard of honor alone, which can be said to be the most solemn court meeting.

Zhao Yu was somewhat nervous about such a big scene, but fortunately he is the emperor, and most of the time today he only needs to follow the procedure.

After the sound of the fifth watch drum, the palace gate slowly opened, and all the officials entered one by one with solemn expressions.

It is said that there are hundreds of officials, but today there are many more officials than hundreds, and there are many people without making any noise.

In this crowd, Zhao Yu saw Bai Qingyu walking at the head of the officials at a glance. He was dressed in a scarlet court dress and had a tall body. I think his golden thighs are really eye-catching.

Such outstanding, loyal and good-looking courtiers with outstanding professional ability are really hard to find in the entire Jin Dynasty.

Thinking happily, Zhao Yu's tension was relieved a lot when his family's golden thighs came. In the gala music, he went through a set of rituals according to the procedure list he had seen before, and summoned his courtiers and envoys from various countries in turn. Zhao Yu only knew about New Year's greetings today. There are so many tricks to say auspicious words.
