Otaku Engineer in Great Tang Dynasty Chapter 1164: Hongmen Banquet!
? On the fifth day of the first lunar month, this day is commonly called broken fifth.
According to "The List of Conferred Gods", Jiang Ziya consecrated the gods and named his wife who betrayed him as a "poor god", which made her "return when she broke." According to myths and legends, Jiang Ziya’s wife is a very annoying porter. After sealing the poor god, it becomes even more annoying. I haven't heard of anyone who likes the poor god, right? So people "broken" her on the fifth day of the lunar new year and let her "go home"-go back immediately!
"Broken Five" means "Many taboos before breaking Five can be broken after this day". Generally speaking, from New Year’s Eve to the fifth day of the day, there are many rules and taboos, such as not being able to cook new meals, not being allowed to go out and saying bad things, not being unlucky, not being able to sweep the floor and spraying water, and not being able to open the door. But by the fifth day, all the taboos were broken.
During the Spring Festival, shops in Chang'an City are closed together from the beginning of the Lunar New Year, and they choose to open on the fifth day of the first lunar month, because the fifth day of the first lunar month is also called the sacred day of wealth, and it is believed that choosing this day will definitely open the market. Fortune and treasure.
Just after the time has passed, the gates of the East and West cities that have been closed for many days are finally opened. The people of Chang'an City who have been silent for a long time can finally go to major shops and happily buy them again! And now that the New Year’s Eve has just passed, those families who usually have their families working in other places are still in a state of family reunion. As soon as the East and West markets are opened, they can just take their families to go shopping and make up for their usual debts.
On this day, Chang'an City has revived its vigor!
On the mountain of clouds.
Li Zexuan did not "fight bandits" with his family today. That thing is just a moment of joke. For him who has played various electronic digital devices, playing cards are not so attractive. Qiang, it's Li Tai, Ye Fashan and others, who have been obsessed with this recently. Yesterday Li Zexuan simply gave them all the two decks of cards at home.
It is said that the student dormitory of Yanhuang Academy was very lively last night, and Li Zexuan was too lazy to deal with it. As the saying goes, blocking is worse than sparse. Anyway, it is during the holiday, and he also ordered Li Tai not to use poker cards to gamble in the academy. This group of students Let them play if you want!
Children who can play will have good grades!
This is a philosophy that Li Zexuan pursues very much. In his previous life, the schoolmasters around him were better at playing than him, and none of them fell behind in basketball, football, and video games.
The group of "little gamblers" was sent away, and the other courtyard suddenly became quiet. Li Zexuan is currently revising the drawings in the study!
The second year of Zhenguan has arrived, and many "big projects" that he has not started before must also be started.
Dams, machine tools, and power plants are all major events and major projects. There are many issues involved, and they cannot be fully considered in a short while.
"Master! The eldest son of the Wang family sent a letter~!"
In contemplation, Xiao Xi knocked on the study door and said softly.
"Oh? Get it in quickly~!"
In the study, Li Zexuan recovered from his thoughts and said quickly.
"Squeak", Xiao Xi walked in with a letter and handed the letter to Li Zexuan, saying: "Hey! Master! It was brought by Girl Leng on horseback, and he has already gone down the mountain now~! "
Li Zexuan seemed to feel something in his heart. He looked towards the northwest and said after a long while: "Okay, I see!"
Xiao Xi blessed himself and left the study, closing the door very thoughtfully.
Li Zexuan lowered his head, tore open the envelope, and took out a piece of rice paper with a line of lower letters on it: "If you don't go out on the first day of the first year, you won't go home after the fifth day! This way to Qizhou, the road is long and difficult, I will remember you The teachings are honest and upright, self-denying and serving the public, and benefiting the party! I have a farewell today, but I don’t know when to meet. If you come to Qizhou in the future, you will be happy with you! Cherish it!-Wang Ren's cousin!"
"Hey! I didn't expect Renbiao to go to Qizhou so soon! I wish him a smooth journey!"
Li Zexuan put away the letter, looked to the northwest, and sighed softly.
Years ago, Wang Renbiao told him that he would go to Qizhou after the new year, but Li Zexuan did not expect that he would leave on the fifth day of the new year.
Qizhou is located more than a hundred miles northwest of Chang'an City. It is considered to be a relatively wealthy state. Wang Ren said that when he went to Qizhou, he was probably "gilded" according to the Wang family's arrangement, so basically nothing happened.
"The imperial decree is here~!"
Unfortunately, as soon as Li Zexuan put down the letter, there was a sharp voice outside the house, and then Xiaohe's hasty cry: "Master, there is someone in the palace!"
"Hmm! Coming!"
Li Zexuan frowned, got up and went out.
"Hou Yongan takes the order~!"
An old **** stood at the door, his eyes gloomy, and the cold air made the air around him a little bit cold.
Li Zexuan's eyes narrowed, the old **** in front of him had never seen him before, and he looked quite strange.
"Chen Li Zexuan, listen to the decree!"
Suppressing the question in his heart, Li Zexuan bowed.
"Holy Mountain invites you to enter the palace immediately, Yonganhou, please pack up and go with our family into the palace!"
The old **** held a whisk and said blankly.
Li Zexuan's face was puzzled and said: "My Majesty followed the decree of the sage, and his feet were forbidden to reflect at home. I don't know why his Majesty called him into the palace again?"
The old **** smiled and said without a smile: "Yong'anhou, you want to go wrong. It was the emperor who asked you to enter the palace for a banquet, not your majesty today!"
Sovereign! Li Yuan!
Li Zexuan's pupils shrank, the secret path is really bad for those who come, and those who are good won't come! On New Year's Eve, just as soon as he beat Li Yuanchang's subordinate, the other party's father came to find the fault! Going to the palace for a banquet, this special lady is a Hongmen banquet, right?
"The Supreme Emperor has already abdicated, why did Zhongzhi leave the palace? Isn't the father-in-law pretending the imperial decree?"
Li Zexuan raised his head, looked directly at the old eunuch, and said solemnly.
A mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and a country cannot tolerate two monarchs. Li Yuan is the overlord~IndoMTL.com~ But now that Li Er is in power, it is naturally impossible for Li Yuan to dictate state affairs! At best, he can only "horizontally" in the palace. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible for his will to spread out of the palace!
The old eunuch's complexion changed, and he said coldly: "Yonganhou, you are bold! Even if the emperor has abdicated, it is the honor of the ninety-five years! How can you allow you to despise it like this~?"
"Haha! Haha! Has Ben Hou despised? Ben Hou is only doubting the authenticity of this imperial decree!"
Li Zexuan squinted at him and said **** for tat without showing any weakness.
"You!"
The old eunuch's color changed suddenly, his chest rose and fell sharply for a moment, and finally resisted the anger in his heart, and said: "This is indeed not a decree, but the meaning of the Supreme Emperor! The Supreme Emperor wants to invite you to enter the palace for a banquet in Yongan. Could it be Yongan Hou, you dare not go there~?"
