Chapter 628 Tokyo chaos, Zhao Ji restored (4)
Author: Geyu
Time flies, and the Shangyuan Festival, the third year of the revival of the Great Yan, has arrived.
Shangyuan is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Since the Tang and Song dynasties, in addition to eating Lantern Festival and setting off firecrackers, there are also various sports activities on the Shangyuan Festival. Among them, dragon lanterns and lions are the most popular, followed by sumo wrestling, kicking, playing ball and
The acrobatic performance is very lively.
Since the tenth day of the first lunar month, inside and outside Yanjing City has become a sea of lanterns and flowers. Curfew has been lifted, and music and singing every night has become a city that never sleeps.
Imperial palaces, streets, temples, and houses decorated with lights, lamp buildings, lamp wheels, lamp trees and lanterns leaping like dragons, phoenixes, tigers and leopards, and the fire trees and silver flowers decorated in Yanjing are magnificent. The temples in the city also display candles and religious stories.
The lanterns are as bright as day and are all night long.
In fact, since the winter solstice before and after the year, Shuntian Mansion began to tie up the mountain shed, and the wood was facing Xuande Building.
Tourists visit the Imperial Street at night.
The magical abilities under the two corridors of Zhuque Street are singing and dancing, with tangled scales and tangled music for more than ten miles.
A shed was set up on Xuandelou Street. There were singing and dancing, and gongs and drums were loud.
The performances include "knocking the pill, Cuju, tracing on the pole... Zhang Jiuge swallowed the iron sword, Li Waining Lefa puppet... Su Shi, Meng Xuan built the ball".
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in the evening, the emperor led the concubines of the harem and all the civil and military officials of the court to climb the Xuande Gate Tower of the imperial city, watch the lanterns, drink and have a banquet, and have fun with the people.
Wang Lin stood on the city tower, looking at the grand scene in front of him, and was shocked.
To be honest, for him, in the current ancient society without electricity and with very underdeveloped lighting, there were scenes full of fire trees and silver flowers, as bright as daylight, which had a great visual impact on him.
He immediately frowned.
He doesn't object to the holiday, but having a holiday like this will make you happy, but how much does it cost?
In the future, the Great Yan would still need to fight against the Jin Kingdom. Temporary peace would require the accumulation of the national treasury as much as possible and spend money where it should be spent. There is no need to do such a show like today...
Li Gang led the third rank and above to come over to worship the emperor, and congratulate the emperor, the empress and the concubines of the palace to congratulate the New Year.
Seeing the emperor frowning, he was slightly stunned.
Guo Zhishun behind Li Gang immediately woke up and reacted.
Guo Zhishun immediately stepped out and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, although the Shangyuan Festival is expensive, the wealth is mostly raised by the people and merchants, and the Ministry of Revenue is very little. The costumes in the palace are mostly expensive, and most of them are from the Western Xia Dynasty.
The merchant Li family donated it. Please let Your Majesty know everything."
Wang Lin twitched his lips, but he knew that today's festival would not sweep away everyone's excitement, so he smiled and nodded. Even if this matter was revealed, he made up his mind that he would never again start from next year.
It's so extravagant.
Even among the people, such extravagant trends cannot rise.
Li Gang led all the ministers to bow to the ground, perform the ceremony of three bows and nine bows, and then congratulated: "I wish your Majesty and all the ladies a happy and healthy life on the Lantern Festival!"
Wang Lin smiled loudly and nodded, "You are all good, I am here, and I wish you all the happiness of your family and I wish you all the peace and prosperity of the country and the people of Dayan!"
The king and his ministers congratulated each other, and the king and his ministers got together, so they went back to the banquet.
The emperor's Lantern Festival banquet tonight was intended to be set up on the Xuande Gate Tower, which means having fun with the people.
But today's imperial banquet, the dishes and wine are quite simple.
There is only one meat, two vegetables, one snack, one fruit, and one pot of high-spirited wine brewed by the emperor.
Wang Lin looked around the ministers and said, "Don't despise the simple dishes. I have eaten so simple with my concubines in the palace. I feel that I have spent too much on these things, and I have to bear the burden of people's livelihood and the head of the country.
Extraordinary, not appropriate. But it is enough to have a simple meal. You, my king and his ministers gather on the Xuande Gate Tower and have fun with the people!”
Li Gang stood up and expressed his opinion on behalf of the ministers: "Your Majesty is frugal and worried about the country and the people in the world. Everyone in the world knows that. I should take Your Majesty as an example and promote the simplicity and simplicity in the court."
Wang Lin smiled and said, "That's not necessary. You have a good salary and can enjoy life without being deliberately frugal. As long as you don't waste it, you can just spend extravagance."
...
The king and his ministers were having a banquet and watching the lanterns and laughed at the wind. After three rounds of wine, the censor Deng Pinzhong suddenly came out of the class and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, how can you not have poems to cheer up when you are on the New Year's Day? I have always heard that Your Majesty and Li Zhu have two empresses.
The reputation of dragons and phoenixes in the lyrics is the best in the world, so it is better to ask Your Majesty to give you a poem to show His Majesty and the court and the people to have fun together."
Li Gang, Wu Min, Zong Ze, Guo Zhishun, Huang Qishan and the sixth ministers' chief Zhang Jun and others all agreed.
Wang Lin smiled slightly, not saying anything.
He turned around and looked at Li Qingzhao and Zhu Shuzhen behind him, and smiled and said, "Qingzhao, Shuzhen, your poetry is famous all over the world, known as the northern Li and Nanzhu, representing the highest level of my Dayan poetry. Now it is the Chinese New Year,
If you have any excellent works, you might as well chant them in public, which can be regarded as having fun with the people and with the ministers."
Li Qingzhao smiled slightly, and she stood up and said to the ministers in great detail: "My lords, Qingzhao has no old works, but Qingzhao remembered that she was in Qingzhou, which was also the night of the Lantern Festival. Qingzhao met His Majesty for the first time.
Your Majesty's poems have not been widely circulated and have always been treasured in Qingzhao's heart.
Tonight, Qingzhao recited this word and shared it with you."
Wang Lin was slightly stunned, and then he realized that what Li Qingzhao was talking about was the Qingyu Case Yuanxi.
He thought about it carefully and as far as he knew, Li Qingzhao was famous for only one poem about Shangyuan Festival.
The name is Yongyule—
The setting sun melts gold, and the evening clouds combine, where are people? The willow smoke is thick, the plum flute is blowing, how much spring is known? The Lantern Festival is full of weather, and the weather is not without wind and rain? Come and call each other, the car and BMW, thank him for the wine friend
Poetry couple. The sun is prosperous in Zhongzhou, and the door of the boudoir is full of leisure. Remember to focus on three or five. Put on green crowns, twist gold and snow willows, and fight for the help of Chu. Now you are haggard, your hair is frosty and your hair is frosty, and you are afraid of going out at night. It is better to look under the curtain.
, listen to people's laughter.
This poem is one of the most high-level masterpieces in Li Qingzhao's works.
But this poem is written from Li Qingzhao's miserable old age.
After the Jingkang Incident, the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and Bianjing was looted. After King Kang Zhao Gou stabilized the Southern Song regime, a large number of northern people flocked to Lin'an, and Li Qingzhao was also one of them.
The death of her husband, the loss of property, and the misfortune of remarriage made this woman, who was originally extremely happy, turn into a miserable old woman in her later years.
This song "Yongyule" describes Li Qingzhao's life in Lin'an in her later years.
The Song and Jin dynasties were already in a stable period of truce. Lin'an, the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, was filled with prosperous scenes of singing and dancing. When encountering grand festivals like the Lantern Festival, it was even more lively.
But the sad Li Qingzhao saw her miserable experiences and the infinite sighs of the rise and fall of the country in this prosperity. She expressed it in this poem without any hiding.
