Chapter 2566 The Prisoner Offering Ceremony and Barbecue Conference at the Ancestral Temple Outside Dingdingmen
"I have a hard-working uncle. Take good care of him. The Tang Dynasty needs a pillar like him."
Cheng Sanlang slapped Qin Sanli on the shoulder and said in a deep voice.
Li Ke on the side saw such a scene and always felt quite inconsistent. After all, such words are usually said by elders.
The sky was getting closer to dusk, and Wang Xuance was still in the carriage, soundly asleep with no intention of waking up.
As Luoyang City was not far away, Cheng Chubi and Li Ke could no longer stay long and had no choice but to say goodbye to Qin Sanli and leave.
Wang Xuance slowly opened his eyes, looked at the candlelight on the table, turned over and sat up.
The whole person was still a little confused. Why did he fall asleep all of a sudden? What were he doing before?
It seems, it seems, maybe I saw the famous demon combination Cheng Sanlang and Wu Wang Li Ke, and then I seemed to have a few glasses of wine, well...
"Brother Xuance, you are finally awake. You had a very sweet sleep this time. You slept from noon until midnight."
At this moment, a voice came from beside him.
Wang Xuance turned around and saw shopkeeper Qin Da, who put down the account book in his hand and walked towards this side with a smile.
"I was drunk for so long?"
"That's right, Taibao Xiao Cheng and His Highness King Wu are here to visit you today to have a drink and talk with you, but my dear brother, you are not in good spirits these days."
"In addition, I didn't eat anything in the morning, so I drank hard liquor on an empty stomach, haha..."
Hearing Shopkeeper Qin's laughter and his joking expression, Wang Xuance couldn't help but blush slightly.
"This, this is really rude. By the way, where are Taibao Xiao Cheng and His Highness King Wu?"
"They accompanied us all the way to the gate of Luoyang City. When they saw that you, dear brother, were still awake, they went straight back to the city."
"However, Taibao Xiao Cheng has something to say, saying that after the prisoners are presented to the ancestral temple, he will come back to you to have a drink and talk with each other.
Listen carefully to your conquests in the Tianzhu Continent that greatly increased the prestige of our Tang Dynasty."
Having said this, Shopkeeper Qin looked at the Royal Lord Bo, who looked a little embarrassed and nervous after sobering up, and said meaningfully.
"Our chairman of the Han and Tang Dynasties Commercial Bank, His Majesty's beloved son-in-law, is the most righteous, and he is also good at making friends with talented people all over the world."
"As for a talented person like you, brother Xuance, you will definitely have a lot in common with him..."
Wang Xuance raised his hand and wiped his face vigorously, pushed open the door, and looked not far away. Even though it was midnight, he could still see the direction of Luoyang City covered by halo.
"I hope, if there is a chance to meet again, Wang will definitely make a good apology. Today is really too disrespectful."

The ancestral temple sacrifices captives, and there are various details and rituals. There are six sacrificial festivals. The first is divination, the second is fasting, the third is furnishing, the fourth is keeping the animal utensils, the fifth is laying jade and silk, and the morning nudity in the ancestral temple.
Cook it and feed it.
These six stages are: the early stage of the ceremony, selecting the date of the sacrifice through divination, fasting before the sacrifice, and preparations such as setting up seats and props;
On the day of the ceremony, the offerings of jade and silk fabrics (in the ancestral temple, the morning sacrifice), and the offerings of food.
In the etiquette system of the Tang Dynasty, sacrificial rituals were divided into three levels: upper, middle and lower. Among them, the sacrificial rituals in the ancestral temple belonged to the great sacrificial ceremony.
All in all, it's very complicated, so complicated that it makes Cheng Sanlang's head hurt just hearing about it. He is extremely lucky that his official job is Luoyang Order.
On this important day for the sacrifice of prisoners in the ancestral temple, you only need to be responsible for maintaining public security and order in the city.
Of course, as a young man who likes to eat melon and watch theater, Cheng Sanlang would not forget to join in the fun.
Anyway, it is up to the police and police to maintain order. I can't continue to play cards in a secluded angle on such a big day as the ancestral temple offering prisoners, right?
Therefore, Cheng Sanlang and Li Ke jumped outside the south gate of Luoyang City, that is, outside the Dingding Gate in Luonan.
At this moment, there are more than 20,000 Tianzhu Asan prisoners of war, as well as cattle and horses, as well as various novel beasts, and of course some precious treasures.
In addition to the more than 20,000 prisoners of war, the four countries of Nibala, Tubo, Houzang, and Xiangxiong each sent 200 cavalry, indicating that they were all servants of the Tang Dynasty.
Then there are the five hundred cavalry sent by Jinsha Prefecture to offer prisoners. These belong to the regular army of the Tang Dynasty, so they are arranged at the front.
However, they are still several miles away from Dingding Gate. At this moment, a large number of uniformed soldiers in bright armor are already heavily guarded inside and outside Dingding Gate.
In addition, there are a large number of musicians who have already prepared to continue. Those musicians all have their own instruments and are waiting quietly.
And there is a group of musicians who are even more awesome. They will accompany the prisoner tribute procession to the ancestral temple, and they will ride horses and play string instruments at the same time.
This must be the origin of the famous poem called "Mobile Band" by Pipa immediately.
As His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty arrived at the city gate building, the imperial soldiers blocked the Luoyang people who came to watch the excitement at a safe distance.
With the permission of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the order was sounded, and the prisoner presentation ceremony in the ancestral temple finally began...
Cheng Chubi, Li Ke, and a group of friends did not stand stupidly on top of the city and pretended to be clay sculptures.
Everyone is currently on a high slope about five miles away from Dingding Gate, setting up a bonfire and baking the various ingredients they brought.
Drinking fine wine, eating delicious skewers, and pointing at the team of Tianzhu prisoners of war who were walking on the road, dejected, with their heads wrapped in cloth towels.
#####
Fang Erlang had been standing on the slope looking around for a long time. Although it was only four or five miles away, it was finally far away.
Fang Jun couldn't help but complain in a low voice to Cheng Sanlang behind him who was instructing the chefs of the Cheng family to brush the sauce.
"Brother Chu Bi, why don't you arrange our positions closer. We are so far away that I can't even see who is on the top of the city."
Cheng Chubi looked at the rows of bamboo sticks, including the fat and thin mutton skewers and the grilled pork belly that was sizzling and oily.
Of course, grilled rice sausage, grilled large intestine and other delicacies that are very common in barbecue stalls in the beautiful southwest are also indispensable.
People in the north may not understand what the sausage is, but people in the south definitely know it. It is a part of the transverse colon of a pig. In layman's terms, it is the small intestine of a pig.
This thing must not be washed as hard as washing the large intestine, like rubbing clothes.
Instead, it can only be cleaned carefully, and the powdery matter in the pig's small intestine needs to be retained to the greatest extent.
Don't think it's feces or other unclean things, tell all the viewers.
That thing is the essence of the delicious rice roll: a digestive enzyme nutrient.
