Chapter 360: On the fifteenth day of the first month, Ping Zhulu
Chang'an still has a festive atmosphere on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
It is said that Guanzhong is in ruins now, and most of the population has moved from Montenegro. Even food needs relief from Xuzhou. There is no such thing as Jinling's New Year conditions.
However, because Liu Xie was planning to hold another ceremony on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, it was a bit more lively.
Liu Xie is not stupid. He knows that there is no condition for big things at this time. The main thing is to focus on the atmosphere...
Although there are legends about Yuanxiao in the pre-Qin period, if historical data are accurate, it only appeared in the Song Dynasty and became a special food of the Lantern Festival.
The name of the "Shangyuan Festival" on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month comes from the Taoist Three Yuan Festival, but the term Shangyuan Festival was only introduced in the Tang Dynasty. At this time, the concept of "Three Yuan" had just been proposed by Zhang Lu, and this
The concept of "Three Yuans" is derived from the "Three Unifications" of Taiping Dao...
Therefore, even if Liu Xie were killed, he would not call the fifteenth day of the first lunar month "Shangyuan Festival".
However, since the Han Dynasty, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has been a custom. It was first used by Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty to commemorate that Zhou Bo and others pacified the Zhulu on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month and supported themselves on the throne. This day was regarded as the anniversary of the pacification of the Zhulu.
Later, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, it became customary to worship Taiyi God - the "Emperor of Heaven" considered by the Han Dynasty - on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
During the fifteenth year of Liu Xie's reign, although he also borrowed the name of worshiping Taiyi God, he also specially asked Sun Rui, the servant of the minister, to draft an article to commemorate the eradication of the kings of the Lu family...
After Bai Tu returned to Jinling on the fourteenth day of the first lunar month, he heard that Liu Xie was holding back his bad intentions - after all, Liu Xie had no intention of hiding it, and instead wanted to commemorate the execution of Zhu Lu with great fanfare.
A group of princes and kings with the surname Lu were granted by Empress Lu when she took over the power after Liu Bang's death. They were the first batch of princes and kings who were "not Liu's but kings" after the "White Horse Alliance".
Now Liu Xie's sacrifice to rid Zhu Lu also has the meaning of "painting a villain".
After Bai Tu found out, he didn't deliberately ruin the festive atmosphere. He specially found Mi Heng - this stubborn guy, although he was appointed to the Ministry of Etiquette, he couldn't help at all with the founding of the country, and it slowed down the progress everywhere...
"I pay my respects to the king." Mi Heng met Bai Tu and was very unruly. He didn't care that Bai Tu had not officially become king yet, so he called first and then talked about it.
"Zhengping, I heard that you have nothing to do recently? Write a few articles for me." Bai Tu said, and handed the information about Chang'an Pingzhu Lu's commemoration to Mi Heng.
After taking it, Mi Heng looked at it, stretched his neck and said, "Your Majesty, are we going to vindicate Zhu Lu and denounce those despicable people who slaughtered heroes for their own selfish interests?"
Bai Tu grinned when he heard this and felt a bit toothache - I haven't seen you for a few days, how dare you mock the Emperor of Han like this? Is it possible to remotely harvest Liu's spiritual power?
"Nonsense! Of course not... The imperial court wants to commemorate Ping Zhulu, and we must agree with the imperial court! I asked you to write an article to commemorate Zhou Bo, the hero of Ping Zhulu. By the way, there is also Zhou Yafu, the son of Zhou Bo. These are all
To commemorate the heroes and generals, and to carry forward their deeds, you must write in a heart-warming way, understand?" After reprimanding Ni Heng, Bai Tu put on a righteous look.
Mi Heng was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he seemed to have thought of something, and asked with eyes brightening: "Are you going to write down the lives of several princes of the Zhou family clearly?"
"Yes, it needs to be more comprehensive, but... it also needs to be focused." Bai Tu said somewhat suggestively.
"I obey!"
"Well, hurry up and hurry up with the manuscript. It will be sent for printing in the afternoon. Di newspapers will be published in various places tomorrow." Bai Tu silently urged the manuscript.
"Here."
Bai Tu knew that Mi Heng already understood what he meant.
Liu Xie wanted to commemorate Ping Zhulu, and of course Bai Tu wanted to support the court.
Speaking of Ping Zhulu, we can’t avoid Zhou Bo, the Marquis of Jiang who led troops to kill Lu Lu and Lu Chan, and supported Emperor Wen who was the king at that time, right? I will introduce his life, but I can also focus on Jianghou.
What will happen to you?
For example, in his later years, because of Emperor Wen's fear, he was dismissed from the prime minister with just one sentence; for example, after returning to his fiefdom, he was worried about the court executing him all day long, and he was in panic all day long; for example, when he was falsely accused, he was even insulted by the jailer, leaving the sentence "An Zhi"
How expensive are jailers?"
When we talk about Zhou Bo, we naturally have to talk about his second son Zhou Yafu, who is famous and a famous general who put down the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms. In the end... he was often feared by Emperor Jing. When he was sick and idle, he was imprisoned for preparing five hundred pairs of armor for burial.
He was falsely accused of treason, and after it was proven that he was a burial object, he was humiliated that he "wanted to commit treason after death." In anger, he went on a hunger strike and died.
However, there are also "evil people" in the Zhou family. Mi Heng also wants to criticize Zhou Yafu's nephew Zhou Jiande. This man is not famous, but it was he who lost the Zhou family's title.
Why was it lost? The mint gold—that is, the gold supplied to the imperial court was of insufficient quality.
Why not famous?
During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, he used this reason to cut off the titles of more than a hundred princes. Who knows what kind of cookie Zhou Jiande was...
In short, Liu Xie wants to commemorate Ping Zhulu, and Bai Tu will definitely help. This must be clearly commemorated by your old Liu family.
Not only newspapers, but also scripts.
After Mi Heng, Bai Tu specially invited Cao Bang - although he is Cao Cao's nephew, he is still a hostage in terms of status, but Cao Bang has high creative ability in scripts.
In contrast, the white picture can only provide a direction for the story. After all, when writing a script, the words have to be consistent, otherwise it will be awkward to sing. And a pure stage play is not popular among the people because it is not lively enough.
"The foreign minister pays homage to Duke Bai." After Cao Bang arrived, he still called him "Gong Bai."
I just don't know why, but as soon as Cao Bang came in, Lu Lingqi wrinkled her nose instinctively, always feeling that something was awkward.
"Anguo, how are you doing in Jinling recently? Is there anything you can do to the posthouse?" Bai Tu expressed his concern symbolically.
After all, Cao Bang didn't serve in the General's Mansion, nor did he receive a salary, so he couldn't seem to think of others only when something happened, right?
"Back to Mr. Bai, everything is fine, but... I may have to leave Jinling after Mr. Bai's happy event." Cao Bang also said with some regret.
The proton can't leave if he wants to, but Cao Cao's proton is Cao Pi, and Cao Bang is just a nephew. At most, he can be considered as an extra. As long as Cao Pi doesn't leave... With the current relationship between Baitu and Cao Cao, there is no need to stop Cao Bang.
After all, until next year, Bai Tu and Cao Cao may not meet each other by land. With the current situation, the new "Three Kingdoms" may not stand as a tripartite, but a "crossing" positional relationship. Naturally, Cao Cao and Bai Tu will also be in a relationship.
Get better.
Bai Tu was stunned when he heard this, but then he realized that the reason why Cao Bang set off in a hurry was probably to take advantage of the fact that he could still travel all the way from Wancheng to Xu County, otherwise he would have to cross Fu Han's sphere of influence in the future...
…
"Okay, bring more specialties before you leave. I'll ask the etiquette department to prepare gifts." Bai Tu said a little disappointed, but he didn't stop him.
Cao Bang thought about leaving. Jin Ling, who had ice cream in the summer and went to the theater on weekdays, was also a little depressed, but he still asked: "Mr. Bai came to see me specially, but what's the important matter?"
"Originally, there were several scripts that I wanted to hand over to An Guo, but since An Guo is leaving, let's prepare our own affairs first."
Baitu didn't force it. After all, the script had a lot of lines, and Cao Bang even understood the storyboarding himself, so it couldn't be written right away.
If the delay is too long and changes occur in Xu County, there may be more dangers on the road...
However, after Cao Bang struggled for a moment, he took the initiative and said: "I'm afraid there will be no such opportunity in the future. If Mr. Bai doesn't dislike it, I will finish writing and then go home!"
