Chapter 296: Celebration banquet, He Yan drinks too much
Wu Qing replied: "It's basically the same. You are really knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Come on, let's have another drink and do it!" But his eyes were still flowing on the dancer,
At this moment, Cao Shuang's house in Luoyang is also holding this banquet to celebrate Shi Yang Zong and Fu Gu, who have just been promoted to the prime minister's house. Cao Shuang has also invited the female relatives of their house. At this moment, Jian Jia is in another hall.
Bai Lingyun and the others were entertaining.
He Yan, who had been neglected after the Gaoping Ling Incident in January, also came with his wife Princess Jinxiang. Cavalry generals Lu Zhi, Deng Yang, and Ding Mi were also invited. At this moment, they were all drinking wine in the hall and admiring
The famous song and dance of the Wei Dynasty called Bai Zun Dance,
The dancer wears an elegant and beautiful dance costume that is "like light clouds and color like silver" and dances lightly and gracefully. The dance forms are rich and varied, and the gently moving steps and flowing sleeves are fascinating.
Except for General Lu Zhi, most of the "Three Dogs of Taichung" in the past were desperately pouring wine into their mouths, even when there was no one to drink with them.
The dancer raises her hands and her long sleeves flutter, creating various light movements. The movements of the sleeves include "covering the sleeves", "fluttering the sleeves", "flying sleeves" and "raising the sleeves". Covering the sleeves is when the dancer leans
Then, when turning around slowly, he slightly covered his face with his hands, half-covering his delicate look. The sleeve-fluffing and sleeve-covering are roughly the same, they are both brushed gently.
Flying sleeves are faster. After the rhythm speeds up, the dancers compete to wave their sleeves, like snowflakes flying up and down.
The raised sleeves are more stretchy. When the rhythm is slow and the dance turns slowly, the sleeves are slowly raised.
In addition to the various movements made by the coordination of hands and long sleeves, Baizhen dance also pays attention to the expression of the eyes. The dancers use their eyes to match the fast or slow dance postures to communicate spiritually with the audience.
Before the first month of this year, He Yan would have been willing to make eye contact with the dancer in Cao Shuang's house. At that time, he and Deng Yang and Ding Mi were very powerful, and they were very interested in everything they did.
The beautiful dancer was even more interested in her "blinking eyebrows".
But today, without the power, he is not very interested in doing anything. Before coming to the banquet today, he didn't even use the homemade five-stone powder, so he came. Without the stimulants and the power of the past, he was gone.
I had an eye for the dancing girl. As the saying goes, a man should never lose his power for a day. This is such a wise saying!
During the banquet, the guests were usually chatting with the people around them, with smiles on their faces, but He Yan was minding his own business pouring wine and drinking. After a while, his face turned red from drinking, but he still had some sense of propriety.
I thought to myself that his drinking capacity was not bad, so this little drink would be fine.
Cao Shuang, who was sitting above and talking to his left and right, saw that he was so depressed, and knew that he was acting like this because he didn't reuse him now. However, Cao Shuang knew He Yan's ability, so he didn't give him too much power to do evil.
Then he smiled and said: "Uncle Ping, you don't need to drink like this in my house. You have to get yourself drunk before you stop. I'm not like Yuan Benchu, Liu Jingsheng, or my father-in-law Sun Zhongmou, who insists on letting me go to the banquet."
Everyone is drunk."
During the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty, the drinking ceremony of Yuan Shao's group was the funniest. As for the drinking ceremony, there were two most representative performances in the late Han Dynasty, which were called "Sanya's Lord" and "summer drink".
Let's first talk about Liu Biao's "Nobility of Sanya". Let's talk about Liu Biao's separatist rule in Jingzhou Mu's "Southern Land". The local Liu family's children and major clans are very proud. These idle wealthy clans all like to drink, so they created three kinds of
"Wine Tank".
The largest wine vat is called Boya, the one as big as the middle one is called Zhongya, and the smaller one is called Jiya. The volume of Boya is seven liters, Zhongya is six liters, and Jiya is five liters.
At every party, everyone's goal is to "play games" together. Eventually, everyone will drink all three bottles of wine, unless everyone is drunk.
If I'm afraid of drinking too much, can I pretend to be drunk? Sorry, this drinking ritual is to prevent you from pretending to be drunk. Every time you play the game, you will be hit with a big needle. Whenever someone falls to the ground drunk, people will prick them with this big needle.
Drunk people, this is to ensure that you are drunk to the extreme.
If this needle gets rusty, is there a risk of tetanus?
Next, let’s take a look at Yuan Shao’s very funny “summer drink”.
After Emperor Xian came to Xudu, in order to establish a good relationship with Yuan Shao, he once sent a man named Liu Song as an envoy to Yuan Shao to express condolences.
After Liu Song came to Jizhou, it happened to be the dog days of summer. Faced with the hospitality of Yuan Shao Group, they drank from day to night. Everyone drank until they were "extremely drunk". Such a lifeless drinking style was euphemistically called "summer escape" by them.
We don’t know whether they drink cold wine to escape the heat or whether they are drunk and don’t know the heat, and we dare not ask. These two forms of drinking in the late Han Dynasty are called "Sanya's Jue" and "summer drink"
.
In addition to "binge drinking" and life-threatening drinking, some Ming emperors also issued prohibitions on alcohol to save food.
It is well known that wine costs food. Faced with the agricultural degradation of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Han Dynasty, many monarchs adopted a ban on alcohol to maintain food balance. Among them were Cao Cao and Liu Bei.
Cao Cao once banned alcohol in an institutional form, which was quite controversial at the time, and Kong Rong even laughed at Cao Cao for it.
How can a person who was originally addicted to alcohol stop immediately if he is suddenly not allowed to drink? Eventually, alcoholics secretly make their own wine or buy alcohol from the "black market".
In order to avoid inspection, people at that time named the turbid wine "Sage" and the name "Sage" for sake, which was also considered a "slang". Faced with this situation, Cao Cao even sent school officials to supervise the ministers.
How they drink.
According to the "Biography of Xu Miao", when the Wei Kingdom was established, Xu Miao served as Shangshulang. At that time, Cao Cao requested a ban on alcohol, but Xu Miao turned a blind eye and secretly brewed wine and got drunk before being discovered by school officials.
This school official is very interesting. He also mentioned Xu Miao and did not want to tell Cao Cao immediately. However, Xu Miao drank too much and told the school official that he was a "sage", which means he blatantly told the school official that he was drunk.
After the school officials had no choice but to report to Cao Cao, Cao Cao was very angry. In the end, Xu Miao was pardoned only after Xian Yufu's persuasion.
After Liu Bei entered Chengdu, he implemented a very strict prohibition on alcohol. In the end, Jian Yong wisely asked Liu Bei to lift the prohibition on alcohol.
During Sun Quan's time, the things many ministers did to oppose the drunkenness with Sun Quan were always ridiculous.
When Sun Quan was in Wuchang, he held a banquet for ministers at Diaotai.
Sun Quan got very drunk and asked people to sprinkle water on the important ministers to wake them up. Sun Quan said that everyone will not return until they are drunk. The standard of drunkenness is that they must be drunk on the fishing platform to be considered finished!
Everyone knew that Sun Quan was addicted to alcohol, but Sun Quan often asked ministers to drink desperately with him, which aroused resistance from the ministers. Yu Fan, an important minister of the Eastern Wu Dynasty, once attended the banquet where Sun Quan became king.
After drinking for three rounds, Sun Quan stood up and came to Yu Fan to drink with him, but Yu Fan suddenly pretended to be drunk and fell to the ground. Sun Quan had no choice but to change the target.
As soon as Sun Quan turned around to look for someone else, Yu Fan immediately sat up.
Yu Fan's intention was very clear, which was silent resistance. When Sun Quan saw this, he became furious and drew his sword to kill Yu Fan.
Fortunately, Sun Quan finally learned to reflect on himself and ordered that any words he said about murder while drunk would not count.
These strange drinking rules and the cruel behavior of the monarch after he is drunk are all habitual to the ministers. They are even used to take advantage of the banquet to please the monarch, or to exclude dissidents. As the saying goes, "Those who are good at the top will be worse at the bottom."
