Chapter 25 Tricks

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, various activities of the Spring Festival slowly entered. In the morning, people would go out to play together in the streets. The palace gates, city gates, and larger shops also had lanterns. The golden and green places in the capital were shining with golden and green colors. The tallest among them was Aoshan in front of Xuande Gate. They were made of colorful silk to form characters in various mythological stories. The left and right doors were tied with grass and covered with green curtains. Tens of thousands of candles were inserted into the grass dragon densely. From a distance, they looked like two dragons flying away. They even used human resources to transport the water to the top of the Dengshan spire by soft lifting water, stored in special wooden cabinets, and released water on time, creating an artificial waterfall. Under the two puppet houses outside Xuande Gate, the kings and nobles also booked the location early, using silk satin and cloth to pull curtains, put down wine and dishes, and wait for the female family to watch the lights.

Xuandemen crosses the street, surrounded the open space with thorns. Two high poles dozens of feet high are erected inside the "thorn pot". They are cut into the characters in the play with color and hung high on the pole. Whenever the wind blows, accompanied by the intoxicating music, the dummy flies in the wind like an immortal descending to earth.

On the 14th, Zhao Qiong accompanied him to visit Wuyue Temple and Qing Palace on the 15th. After two days of walking around, the capital was not empty at this time, but there were people everywhere in the streets and streets. He chased the car and watched the fun. The emperor rode a horse and sat in a sedan chair, so they could only follow him. The arms and legs of the standing were hard, and they had to pretend to be happy.

After the sixteenth time, the car could not leave, and the emperor watched the lantern at Xuande Gate. After breakfast, Zhao Xiao rushed to the palace to accompany him. The class in front of the palace was riding a bow and arrow, riding a horse, wearing a three-color fairy garden robe, then wearing a red brocade jacket, holding a gold chair, saliva, water crane, fruit tillery, palm fan, tassel Buddha, etc., and personally followed the imperial chairs. The squad also followed the squads to protect the squad. There were more than a hundred small envoys wearing public uniforms, holding pearls and ball sticks, and riding horses to listen to the call. The squads led the front of the music club of the Jiaofang, and the horses were directed to have fun. The civil and military teams of the dynasty were behind the dynasty. The civil and military officials on the left were the ministers and attendants, and the princes on the right were the royal family, and Zhao Xiao stood in it. The crowd was crowded but not cold, but looking at the red and green eyes.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of Fan whip, the emperor entered Dengshan. "Come with the pole!" At this time, the staff of the Imperial Chariot Court shouted in front of the chariot. Zhao Qi was still thinking about what this meant, but he saw the Imperial Chariot circling around Dengshan.

"Bojiuxuan!" Zhao Qi heard the shout again. Do you want the emperor's father to perform Ye Di? He often hangs with Pan Long and the others, knowing that the baijiuxuan is a move in the sumo wrestling skills." But he didn't see the old man moving, and only saw the imperial chariot walking backwards and back for a while, the emperor finally arrived at Xuande Tower. As soon as the circumference was set up here, the tourists immediately rushed to the terrace in front of the building like a tide, and they all wanted to take advantage of the moment when the emperor climbed the tower to see Tianyan.

Xuande Tower is all hanging yellow curtains, and there are 10 zhang palace lanterns in each building on both sides, which are comparable to modern lanterns. The children's thighs are slapped inside. The downstairs are made of candles with colored knots, and there are guards on both sides. The Jiaofang Junrong is performing zajus, and the people can watch it under the terrace. There is a colored shed set up by Huangluo in the center of the building. Outside the curtain, the dragon is holding the yellow cover and the palm fan. There is a inner squad of the road near the door, and behind the curtain is the emperor's imperial seat.

Zhao Qi followed the crowd up the tower and came to the city tower. "There was a servant who guided everyone to his seat, please "Prince Chong" please!" As soon as he stood still, an eunuch smiled and invited Zhao Qi out.

He followed the eunuch two steps and suddenly found that no one of the brothers from the same building followed him. After looking closely, Zhao Huan's face was bad, and he looked even more pale under the bright light, with a helpless feeling. Zhao Qi behind him was stunned, his eyes changed, surprised, suspicious, angry and not envious.

"Damn" what?" Zhao Qi was puzzled. He hadn't offended them all these days. Especially the boss, he didn't mess with him. He even invited him to have a meal during the Chinese New Year!

"Prince Chong, please come here!" The eunuch said and invited Zhao Qi to a colorful shed on the left side of the city tower, where there were a single table and a single chair. A group of palace maids and eunuchs stood beside him. It seemed that they were prepared for him.

"This... am I the only one?" Zhao Qi frowned and asked. Although he was confused by the cumbersome rules, he also knew that there were only three sheds in this building, including his father, his mother and a group of young mothers in the middle. There were only two sheds on the left and right floors, and he occupied one. Looking at the right floor opposite from Cai Jing, a group of ruling men and royal relatives all took their seats there. "Prince Chong, this is what the saint specifically instructed. In previous years, Prince Jia was sitting here!" The Ran Shi held Zhao Qi's arm and said with a charming smile.

"Damn, sitting here will definitely cause another storm!" Zhao Qi patted his forehead hard and thought, his father is really baking himself now. If he really sat down, he would have to bake his butt, even he would have to bake it with a crispy outside and tender inside. "Your father, my son has something to say!" Zhao Qi suddenly broke away from the eunuch and ran away while shouting.

"Qi'er, what's the matter?" Zhao Ji had just taken his seat, and the eunuch was about to put down the roller blinds. Seeing Zhao Ji running over hurriedly, he asked.

"The father is favored by the emperor, and the son is afraid!" Zhao Qi bowed and said, his voice was loud. Not only did the emperor hear it, but even the people in the colored shed on the right could hear it clearly, which attracted everyone's attention to him.

"Oh, why is this?" Zhao Ji asked suspiciously. Being able to get his own grace to monopolize the coloring shed not only shows his favor, but also explains his attitude to his subjects.

"Father, the sage said that "the elders are orderly and the young are in order." King Ding is the eldest son. How dare he take a seat after his son? I also asked the father to allow King Ding to take the seat!" Zhao Qiong politely said.

"Well, you are in a difficult situation?" Zhao Ji frowned and asked.

"The father is favored by the son, but my son is not!" Zhao Qi looked up at the emperor's words slightly, and turned a blind eye to the mother's eyes. "Father, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my son, my father, my son, my son, my son, my son, was very frightened, afraid that he would let my father's wishes, and I would ask my father to be kind to me and ask my son to ask!"

"Oh, Tsui'er is kind and righteous, and you understand the couplet, right!" Zhao Ji sighed and asked the eunuch to put down the rolling curtain. Although he was ridiculous, he was not stupid. He was proud of Zhao Qi, but after his second son returned to Beijing, he suddenly realized that he was not only filial but also sensible, and frequently relieved his worries. These were very suitable for his own taste, and he also made him think about making Zhao Tsui a culprit.

But he had been hesitating because he knew very well that Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang had formulated a system for pre-establishing the crown prince. The principle was: to establish a legitimate to be the eldest, not the virtuous, and to establish a son to be the noble but not the elder. To give up the legitimate to establish a concubine, he not only needs to have the courage of a superman, but also to have the iron-blooded skill to succeed to the throne as a concubine, but to achieve the grip of a short-lived brother and an old empress dowager. He really did not have the courage of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang to "kill three sons in one day". Today, Zhao Xiao's actions meant to show the people of the world that he did not want to be a crown prince, but to support the elder brother to enter the East Palace, which was equivalent to fulfilling the call he had always advocated to abide by the etiquette and system. It can be said that "sacrificing oneself for justice" and "The emperor has an order, and the prince resigned, so please make the prince sit in Dongxuan!" As the eunuch who was delivering the order loudly shouted, Zhao Xiao and Zhao Kuang changed seats.

Cai Jing nodded and asked Zhao Qi to sit next to him. His "poisonous eyes" swept left and right again, and he evaluated the three royal brothers in his heart. Zhao Huan's face was flushed and incoherent, obviously unprepared for the favor that suddenly fell from the sky, so that his legs were still trembling after thanking him. After taking a seat in the Dongcai Shed, he looked at the subjects in the audience excitedly, as if he was the prince: Look at Zhao Qi again, clenched his fists, and his eyes were spitting fire, and he quickly drove Sun Monkey's

He had golden eyes and his body was trembling, but this was angry. Jealousy and desire for the throne had almost made him lose his mind. "Prince, please!" Cai Jing picked up the wine glass and said to Zhao Qi. "Please, Grand Tutor!" Zhao Qi also raised his glass and said calmly with a smile on his face. The things just now seemed to have no effect on him at all. "Oh, this boy was happy and angry without saying a word, which is a hundred times better than the other two brothers!" Cai Jing praised secretly, raised his glass and covered his face and drank it.

Looking at Zhao Kuang sitting opposite, Prince Ding's Mansion praised Geng Nanzhong with mixed feelings, and his heart was mixed. The open and secret struggle between Prince Chong and Prince Jia's Mansion could not be hidden from his eyes. He was originally fighting with the crane clam to win the profits of the slag man. However, he did not expect that Prince Chong, who thought the worst strength, not only quickly gained the emperor's special favor, but also destroyed Prince Jia's dark power with the top of Mount Tai, completely reversed the situation and became the first candidate for the reserve position. Today, when he saw Zhao Qie step into the Dongcai Shed, he felt that all his efforts had become shadows. Prince Chong actually gave the things he had obtained to himself, which made him feel the feeling of rising from hell to heaven. After calming down, he had to re-examine his position...

At this time, the music started, and Wanmin Mountain shouted, "Long live," and under the terraces, the Yuan Festival carnival, singing and dancing, zaju, acrobatics, magic, and circus, all of which began. The eunuchs walked in a hurry, shouting loudly from time to time, and frequently gave out the rewards from Huangluo tents. A large amount of money was withdrawn downstairs, which attracted the sensation of Wanmin Mountain.
