Zhao Bing felt that he had become more and more empty since time traveling. Of course, it was not physical weakness, but hypocritical weakness. In order to survive, he had to think of a snake and run a train with all kinds of people. Although he successfully stabilized the situation and successfully reached the peak of his life, he was unhappy. Perhaps because he was a straight man in engineering, he liked one, two, and could argue with others about the nuances of unknown number after the decimal point.

But now Zhao Bing has to constantly compromise, which makes him very frustrated. Today, this meaningless whitewashing and naked cover-up make him even more disgusted, and the initiator is his chief wife. He knew that Wu Xi should have a basic understanding of the current situation. He wanted to cancel the wedding because he was short of money, but he didn't know how to persuade the queen mother, but instead made such stupid things indignant.

What made Zhao Bing even more angry was that he had always claimed to be a simple life, but he was repeatedly "consumption". He spent a lot of money on weddings and personal sacrifices. Now he has held a large-scale Lantern Festival, and the little "famous reputation" he has accumulated over the past ten years has disappeared. What is the qualification to ask others for it? What made him even more angry was that the money spent on the country and his own money, and he could explain it, but the lantern festival was basically passed on to the people.

This rule still originated from his ancestors. Because they all like to watch lanterns, the court officials were naturally willing to use this to embellish the emperor a scene of people living and working in peace and prosperity and the rise and fall of the country. Therefore, the Shangyuan Lantern Festival was upgraded to a national behavior. From the beginning of making lanterns, the emperor was involved in the matter, and the court officials also took the lantern making as a major event, made various lanterns, and ordered local lanterns to be made for the needs of the court. In order to ensure the attractiveness of the lanterns to the emperor, the lantern making every year was innovative, and the years were different.

This has led to the increasing exquisite lamp making technology, and the number of flower samples of lamps is also increasing. There are more and more lamp products, especially Su, Fu as the crown, Xin'an is late, which is exquisite. The imperial court sets lights in each hall and stacks the lamps into a mountain shape for Aoshan. There are many lamps, and Su lamps are the best. The diameter of the headlights is three or four feet, and they are made of five-color glass. The glazed here refers to gems, and the characters on the lamps are very wonderful, with all kinds of wonderful scenery, such as landscapes, figures, flowers and bamboos, and feathers, which are as beautiful as painted.

Fuzhou lamps are made of pure white jade, bright and white, dazzling and dazzling, like a clear ice jade pot, refreshing the mind. Xin'an worships boneless lamps, and their skeletons are made of glass. The palace is made of glass gem lamp mountain, five meters high, with various characters on it, controlled by organs, and can move. In addition, a large color building is formed, and the halls, beams and bridges of the color building are surging walls, drawing or creating characters stories. There are dragons and phoenixes spraying water, winding like life, and at the same time, a jade grid is set up, which is dazzling and can hardly be looked at.

The cost of a good lamp is naturally not low, and the manufacturing process is complicated. Boneless lamps should use silk to store millet as the body. After burning, they will be mixed with glass slabs; while lamps are carved with rhinoceros and tortoiseshells to decorate them; bead lamps use five-color beads as nets, drooping tassels, or dragon boats, phoenix chariots, and tower stories; sheepskin lanterns are like shadow plays; silk lamps are the most strange ones with thousands of eyes; there is also shadow lamps, horses and people rotate like flying; there is also a silk lamp with poems and hidden words as riddles.

This kind of large-scale offering has become a great burden for the people. Moreover, the tasks assigned by the government mostly fall on small households. They have to borrow money to buy raw materials to complete the task, and it is useless to work. In the end, when the government purchases finished products, they will also buy lamps at a reduced price. This is equivalent to spending time and money, but only to win the joy of the powerful. Then they don’t scold you, and why should they help you when you are in trouble? Who will be loyal to a government that only knows how to extort and exploit themselves?

Thinking that he had been idle for nearly a year and had just taken over the job, he was facing a civil and military general who were in a different way, a courtier who was fighting openly and secretly, and a central government that was about to collapse and disintegrate, and a world number one strong enemy who was determined to perish. These were enough to make him up and annoyed. But his wives would not add luster to him, but instead made himself feel troubled and disgusted. So he became furious when he heard this. His first idea was to go back to the palace to ignite the lanterns and lock the queen in the cold palace.

However, Zhao Bing still retained his mind in his mind, knowing that the houses of this era are all wooden structures, so he would find them if they were caught in the fire. There were too many tourists watching the lanterns on the street. If he couldn't do it well, he would burn Lin'an City again and cause serious riots. Therefore, he thought about leading troops back to the palace to guard the scene so as not to cause turmoil. On the other hand, the selected queen can be said to be the result of his compromise with the scholars. Once he used his family law, it might trigger a group incident. At present, scholars who participated in the ministry examinations gathered in the capital, and it would be a big event. But he also made up his mind to not compromise this time, and anyone who participated would arrest him...

"Damn it, it's broken!" Zhao Bing left the martial arts, and in front of him a team of cavalry was on guard. He rode in the middle surrounded by the generals, and behind him were thousands of officers and soldiers from the brigade and regiment of the imperial front. They were all fully armed, with bullets loaded and bayonets opened, looking murderous. But when the team left the old palace gate and stepped onto the imperial street, he couldn't help but take a breath and cursed inwardly.

Although it was only dusk at this time, the Imperial Street was already crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder, and lanterns everywhere had been lit. From a distance, the Beigong front was already bright, bright as daytime, with tents and colorful tables standing around. Obviously, this scene exceeded his expectations, and it reminded him of the scene of the Spring Festival station in his previous life. If a bad thing would cause riots. This obviously was not suitable for his plan to destroy the lights and set fire. Zhao Bing was worried that his old nest would be burned.

"Pay attention to the alert, the guard battalion strengthens the escort, the first battalion opens the path forward, the second battalion is divided into two columns to guard the border, and the third battalion is cut off to prevent the people from following, which shocks the emperor." When Ni Liang saw the situation in front of him, he immediately ordered the adjustment of the formation, shorten the queue surface, and expand the warning range so that he can quickly pass through the congested area and return to the palace as soon as possible.

"Wait, go forward and send orders!" Zhao Bing interrupted Ni Liang's order and said, "Put the bayonet, close the insurance, prevent accidental injury of the people; dismount and lead the horse; move slowly in front of the guide, do not forcefully drive away to prevent trampling!"

"Yes!" Ni Liang frowned, and he still sent someone to convey His Majesty's imperial order. He jumped off the horse first, threw the reins to his subordinates, and then helped him get off the horse by himself. Chen Dun also tactfully jumped off the horse first, took the reins and led the horse and then walked. Seeing this, the others had no reason not to get off the horse, and each held the reins firmly to comfort the horse and prevent frightened.

After receiving the order, the departments quickly adjusted their formation under the command of their respective officials, reduced the six columns to two teams, and each sent warnings to block the crowd on both wings, opening a "street" for the team to pass. However, a large army suddenly appeared and inserted into the crowd, which still caused a riot, but the team could finally pass slowly.

"It's really lively!" Zhao Bing walked slowly under the crowd, his eyes scanning the surroundings, but saw that the shops on both sides of the Yu Street were decorated with lights, and the actors on the colorful stages set up on both sides performed singing and dancing, zaju, and hundreds of operas, which were extremely lively.

In order to maintain this false prosperity, the government also took great pains. It can be said that one sentence above and one runs off the leg. In order to ensure the safety of the lantern audience, the officials of Lin'an Prefecture really tried their best. First of all, fire prevention. In this era, there were no fire trucks and high-pressure water guns, and they could only rely on ladders, fire forks, hook guns, and water buckets to extinguish fires. Therefore, next to each lamp shed, there are a ladder, a giant barrel, and several soldiers. The barrels are filled with clear water for fire extinguishing.

Secondly, in order to prevent children from getting lost, all major alleys set up "small movie sheds" in the community for children to watch. Although there are no cartoons at this time, movie artists can use lights, gestures, paper people and shadow puppets to project simple and interesting animations on the set, which can indeed attract children to watch, so that they will not run around and be kidnapped by bad people.

Again, the method of killing chickens to warn monkeys is adopted. In the prosperous place, Lin'an set up a slap to list the number of thieves who steal money and gangsters who tease women in the crowd, they will immediately pull them to the lantern shed to show their public, either beat boards or be sentenced to imprisonment, so that those bad guys who are ready to move know the magnitude of the punishment and the consequences of evil, and thus stop the horse and dare not do evil again. In addition, the Yuan ritual is also set up as a prison clean temple, displaying torture instruments, and the story of the prison household is also a warning and intimidation.

"Oh, the times are different, the interests are similar!" Zhao Bing soon discovered an interesting phenomenon, and the past and present are the same. There are many young men wandering in groups on the street, but their eyes are not on the colorful lights, but on the young women. It is obvious that watching the lights is just an excuse.

In Zhao Bing's opinion, these women on the street are indeed the most dazzling scenery. They have to dress up carefully, wearing pearls, moths, jade plums, snow willows and other ornaments on their heads. Some wear Diao Chan sleeves, necklaces, Bodhi leaf-shaped lanterns, and gold-pinned gold-pinned clothes. Most of them wear popular white clothes because the white clothes are more vivid under the moon. They watch the lanterns and dance without any scruples.

What surprised him even more was that although there was no auxiliary electronic equipment in this era to make the head shine, those skilled craftsmen could still satisfy their wishes. Craftsmen could make lanterns the size of dates and chestnuts, and then decorated them with pearls and jade. They were crystal clear and dazzling, and they inserted them into their hair and became the most dazzling ornaments. When the Lantern Festival Lantern Exhibition was held, women all over the city wore such lighting on the streets, shining on their heads.

Ladies wear lanterns on their heads, but men are the same. There are two types of lanterns on their heads, one is a lotus-shaped or peony-shaped lamp bowl, and the other is a "fire bayberry" strung with iron branches. Fire bayberry is grinding dried jujubes, pounding charcoal into shavings, mixing the date powder and charcoal shavings together, pouring them with oil wax, balls, and skewing them onto the iron tree one by one, lit them, and putting them on the top of the head.

"What's wrong with the front?" Suddenly a riot occurred in front of him, and the team stopped moving forward, Zhao Bing asked.

"Your Majesty, someone in front accidentally knocked over the lamp bowl on his head and lit his hair. But they blamed the soldiers who were leading the way forward, saying that the road was unstable and the lamp bowl overturned. He led a group of servants to make trouble, so he stopped his driving." The guards had already inquired, and he immediately reported after His Majesty's inquiry.

"Oh, I'm very brave! Even if I don't know that I'm in it, the marching brigade can stop it. I'll go and take a look!" Zhao Bing had long seen someone walking in the crowd, and he saw that his posture was either rich or noble. There were often a group of soldiers or male servants behind him. These followers were responsible for the safety of their masters and helped them show their power. They put the lanterns on their heads and followed the master to show their differences. The momentum seemed even greater than their own travel.

However, because of the innate design of the lamp bowl, and men in this era did not shave their hair, and they held their high buns like women. A lotus peony lamp bowl or a tree of fire-burning "fire bayberry" fixed on the bun, they could only walk carefully. If the steps were big and the lanterns on their heads were turned over, it would be a big deal. As long as a little open fire fell on their hair, it would be too late to put out the fire, and the worries on their heads would be purified.

"Your Majesty, I'd better go and have a look!" Lu Xiufu followed the little emperor all the time, knowing that he was angry and had nowhere to be fired. He heard that his tone was not good. If he did something contrary to the saintly ritual, wouldn't it be bad? So he stepped forward to stop him.

"Why do you need some trivial matters? I just see what kind of power he is fighting for. He is so brave that he dares to intercept the marching brigade!" Zhao Bing said coldly, then carried the horse whip forward and squeezed in.

"You old man Chi, you dare to scare my young man. He has burned his hair again. How can you meet people in the future?" Zhao Bing just squeezed to the front when he saw a young man with a bun scattered bun and wet all over. He was obviously the victim, thinking that he was soaked in the head of the fire. At this moment, he sat on a chair with a blue face and blocked the road. A man who looked like a servant was grabbing the collar of a soldier and shouting. What surprised him was that the words "old man Chi" had been in this era, but this word is also a swearing person in modern times, and it must be a good word at this time.

"Oh, what's going on? Don't hurt people with bad words." Zhao Bing did not get angry, but knocked the handle of the horse whip on the hand of the servant and asked with a smile.

"You are blind, you can't see my young master being injured!" Zhao Bing used his strength very cleverly. The servant felt his wrist numb and couldn't help but let go, but he still shouted and scolded.
