Chapter 460 The Spring Festival Begins
Xiahou Di can also sort out Xue Mu's plan.
In fact, it is very simple. It is to take advantage of the high ceremony of all officials to force the princess’s discussion to the limelight of public opinion. There is no need for any organization on the ceremony. There will inevitably be many particular officials who think that it is necessary to calm down the discussion and ask for an explanation in person.
The country's important weapon is in Rong and Sacrifice. No matter how rough the rituals of the Great Zhou Dynasty are, the annual spring festival is also a strict ceremony. Whether you are a member of the royal family or not, the etiquette is different, just like the sect's direct descendants and ordinary disciples' positions are different. In this limelight, many people must have a certain idea of what kind of etiquette should Xiahou Di follow and what kind of etiquette should do, and there must be an explanation.
Whether it was Ji Qingyuan hosting the festival or Liu Wanxi hosting it, this matter was forced to be on the verge of being in the forefront and could not be dragged over.
Xiahou Di sighed: "You are so sure that your father will enthrone me, and not deny it?"
Zhuo Qingqing smiled: "Even if you deny it, the chief constable will be relieved, right?"
Xiahou Di said: "Why don't you tell me in advance?"
"Time is tight, and once the chief of the chief of the surveillance hesitates, there will never be such a good opportunity again." Zhuo Qingqing said: "Young Master said that the chief of the surveillance is more neat than a man, and only has family bonds and stickyness. If you don't have external force to push, you can only fall into the calculations of some people forever, and you will regret it sooner or later."
"What's the plan?"
"Often people dare to spread the rumors that the Six Gate Chief is a child bride? Whether the Chief Chief believes it or not, our young master does not believe it."
Xiahou Di was silent for a long time, as if he was persuaded, and finally did not cause any more trouble. He turned around tiredly: "It's okay to be liberated. Then let's see what the result will be tomorrow."
Xiahou Di thought Xue Mu was trying to force a result, either as a princess or as a liberation. Of course, he didn't know that there was nothing wrong with Xue Mu's perspective. With Liu Wanxi's operation, of course, it was only possible that he could be a princess. He used public opinion not to force Ji Qingyuan at all, but just to create a situation of appeal and facilitate Liu Wanxi to do things.
Liu Wanxi used to persuade this matter to be very troublesome because it was difficult for her to mention the princess for no reason. But now she realized that it was so easy to do.
…………
Spring Festival, a routine ceremony for the Great Zhou Dynasty for thousands of years, is held every year on the first day of the first lunar month. It is initially a year-round celebration at the beginning of the year. At first, it is only considered a ceremony of blessings, and officials of a certain level or above must attend.
It was held every year for a long time, and it gradually added multiple meanings and evolved into the most important sacrificial activities of the country, such as offering sacrifices to the heavens, offering sacrifices to the ancestors, offering sacrifices to the Taimiao, and even the emperor reported his duties to the Taimiao. If the emperor could not be in charge of the ministers, who presided over the sacrifice would mean that he represented the emperor.
For example, Liu Wanxi this time.
There are solar terms in this world, but there are no festivals. Spring Festival can be said to be the only national legal festival throughout the year. On this day, the court is closed, the market is closed, all shops are closed, and all martial arts sects also choose to worship their ancestors on this day, and also leave classes without practicing.
Children are running all over the streets, the sound of firecrackers is lively and festive.
It is very similar to the Chinese Spring Festival. The most significant difference is that there is no habit of posting couplets in this world.
Officials at certain levels and above all regions entered Beijing to participate in the ceremony. After the ceremony, they stayed in Beijing to report their duties. It lasted about ten days before slowly dispersing. Even Chen Qianzhen, the Medicine King Valley and Zheng Yezhi, who did not need to "report", rushed to the capital to participate in the ceremony.
Logically speaking, Xue Mu is a marquis now, and he has to participate according to the rules. But he has just been sealed and he is not on the rituals list, so everyone turns a blind eye and doesn’t care about where he is. Moreover, the marquis of the eight sects have not participated in it for many years... It is common sense that the martial arts sects are not subject to the control of the martial arts sect. Xue Mu belongs to the martial arts sect.
Xue Mu stood on the high platform in the palace, vaguely watching the lively atmosphere of the capital, with a long-lasting look on his face.
It's the New Year...
The first New Year spent in this world.
It is said that the pace of modern times is fast, but in ancient times, in this world where the strong flies thousands of miles back and forth, in the context of a sect rising rapidly using the development routines of another world, and in the environment where hundreds of schools of thought compete for Taoism are in a mixed environment, Xue Mu feels that the pace of life is very fast, and it seems that there are countless things to do every day. He buried his head in it without knowing the years, and suddenly looked up, and he actually passed the first year.
It felt like it had been a long time, and it was so long that he could forget the appearance of another world, it was vague, like a dream.
Is this world a dream or the earth a dream? I can’t tell the difference, and I don’t want to tell the difference.
He turned his head and his eyes fell on the imperial garden.
Xiaoye and Ye Guying ran around the garden, and the laughter of the young and old girls was refreshing. After changing into palace maids' clothing and putting aside the wide cloak, Ye Guying's true appearance was truly revealed in front of Xue Mu today.
Unexpectedly, the thin figure can be seen in the collarbone of the palace maids' clothing, but it does not make people feel thin and awkward. Instead, there is a special wild bodybuilding. The snake-like waist is only able to hold, the chest and buttocks are proportionately symmetrical, and a dagger is on the edge of the legs. The legs are elastic and powerful, which has the most typical physical health and beauty of warriors in this world.
Just like the clouds break through the moon, the flowers under the cloak suddenly bloomed, and became bright for a moment, with a particularly strong contrast between the front and back.
This is all expected...unexpectedly...
She actually has short hair.
There was a broken hair on the forehead, and the tip of the back was not reached the neck, but it was just over the ear. Xue Mu, who was used to seeing the long hair in this world, was really stunned for a long time when he looked at the only short hair he saw.
Ye Guying's explanation is only one sentence: "Long hair affects the task."
Then he seemed to feel that he was very ugly, and pursed his lips and turned his head. Without waiting for Xue Mu to express his opinion, he turned around and picked up Xiaoye and ran to the garden.
"Lonely Shadow!" Xue Mu suddenly shouted.
Ye Guying, who was running to catch butterflies with Xiaoye, turned around in confusion: "What are you doing?"
"You are very beautiful!" Xue Mu continued to shout.
Ye Guying blinked his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Stop this, go and curry favor with your concubine and princess. We little assassin just have to see the erotic palace!"
Xue Mu also smiled, and his eyes turned to the east of the palace city again, deep in the clouds and mist.
There is a high platform there, surrounded by clouds and mist, with the solemn Royal Temple and the Qiankun Cauldron. There is a large square outside the door and a serious altar. The east gate is always closed, and only the hole is open today for people to worship.
Xiao Qingwu is not here today, and she is there with her master Chen Qianzhen, and Liu Wanxi and Eunuch Li are not there either. They must preside over the ceremony.
Xue Mu really had no intention of having fun. Today's biggest show is not in the palace, but in the Taimiao.
He seemed to be able to see that before the Taimiao, Liu Wanxi stood in high spirits, with Eunuch Li accompanying her, two rows of princes standing on both sides, and behind the prince were a large number of royal people.
