As for the emperor's birthday in history, in fact, in Liu Zheng's previous life and before the Sui and Tang Dynasties, emperors basically did not celebrate their birthdays. It's all very simple, just "just have a quick meal".
But starting from the Tang Dynasty.
The emperor of the Tang Dynasty began to attach great importance to his birthday. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to his birthday and called it "birthday"!
But in comparison, Tang Xuanzong's birthday was much more grand.
"Old Book of Tang Dynasty, Chapter Eight, Xuanzong 1" records: "In the eighth month of the seventeenth year of Kaiyuan (729), on the day of Guihai, on the birthday of Shangshang, a hundred officials were given a banquet at the Hua Calyx Downstairs. Please list the officials on the fifth day of August every year. Today is the Thousand Autumn Festival. The princes and princes present a golden mirror and a dew bag, and all the states in the world order a banquet. They take a three-day holiday and still compile the order. Follow it."
Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty also designated his birthday as the Qianqiu Festival, and the country had a three-day holiday. In addition, on the birthday of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, emperors and ministers also composed poems and sang in harmony. Of course, music, dance and acrobatic performances are also essential. The treasure of the Shaanxi History Museum - a silver pot with a Tang dance horse's title cup pattern reproduces the scene of the birthday celebration of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty.
And in this world.
Same thing.
The previous emperors of the Longyan Dynasty were also dispensable for birthday ceremonies. It can be understood that when Long Yan was first established, most emperors knew that it was not easy to conquer the world, and their lives were relatively simple. However, with the continuation of the Longyan Dynasty, it has always been regarded as the unification of the world, the peace and prosperity of the country, and after experiencing several prosperous times, the emperor of the Longyan Dynasty has become more and more important to his birthday.
In addition, the emperor of the Longyan Dynasty was called the Holy Emperor, so this birthday became Christmas Day.
The birthday ceremony starts with a banquet for all civil and military officials, to the vassal king, the subordinates pay homage, a banquet for the whole city, and a seven-day holiday for the whole country. This Christmas day is simply more grand than the Spring Festival.
On this day, all nations come to Korea and celebrate together.
Forget about the excitement.
Christmas Day this year.
It is more likely to be the last birthday of the old emperor Xie Tianyao... Almost everyone in the country knows that the Longyan Dynasty is about to usher in a period of chaos.
"Your Majesty..."
"Holy Lord!"
"The Holy One may live as long as Heaven!"
"Your Majesty, you have aged another year..."
Early in the morning, the people at the foot of the capital had already put on their most festive clothes, wanting to participate in today's national celebration atmosphere. Many old people cried with joy, and many middle-aged people had mixed emotions. Those young people are eager to try.
The mentality of people of different ages is fully displayed.
The old people believe that during Xie Tianyao's reign, the Longyan Dynasty was generally very stable. This tough-minded emperor, after he ascended the throne, relied on his own strength to drag the Longyan Dynasty and continue to survive for nearly forty years...
Middle-aged people just grew up in this era.
They have mixed emotions. They want to be content with the status quo, but they also crave change.
And young people...
It will be different!
Being young and frivolous makes them want to participate in the changes of the times. They are full of criticism and anger towards this society! Impulsive and reckless, they do not know that the changes of the times require the impact of iron and blood. In their hearts, they hope that Xie Tianyao can die soon, so that they can seek some opportunities to stand out in troubled times... They don't care about social stability, the loss of life, the collapse of rituals and happiness...
"Excuse me!"
"Today, the eighteen envoys will take turns to appear! Can Liu Zhizhou defeat the others and please the Holy Emperor? Come, come, come, I'm sure I'll leave, I'll leave you!"
Early in the morning.
The people who opened the betting market still did not forget to sell these amazing odds.
Those people in brocade clothes suddenly sneered: "Haha, didn't you say that winter is coming? It's a sunny day again, why don't you buy a hammer!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
The weather is really good today.
The sky is clear and cloudless.
The sun beats people down so early in the morning, is this the weather? Winter is coming?
Those who bought Liu Zhizhou’s victory regretted it.
"Hey, don't go!"
"Uncle, look, there is still a chance..."
"You have to believe that if Liu Zhizhou is here, there will be miracles!"
"Hahahaha, the eighteen envoys are besieging Liu Zhizhou, he still has a chance!"
"That's right, this time, he will die!"
Everyone laughed and walked away.
Today's Beijing is undoubtedly very lively. After getting up early in the morning, the defenders and government officials from various departments have begun to enforce security on the streets and set up various warning lines. I heard that on Christmas Day in previous years, people would always die due to stampede. In the feudal dynasty, there were countless people who respected the emperor. These people who respected the emperor could not get close to the palace. They could only kneel down in the street early in the morning and pray that the current saint would live a few more days. If we can ensure that the Longyan Dynasty can be glorious for a few more years...
…
In the early morning of this day, Liu Zheng finally walked out of the stone quarry.
"Have you made contact?"
Liu Zheng also changed into new clothes today and looked energetic and festive.
Deng Wenhui wiped his sweat: "My lord, we have already contacted him... The general of the Imperial Guard is Mr. Chen's disciple, so there is nothing difficult about him."
Liu Zheng asked again: "Are those ready?"
Deng Wenhui continued to nod.
Liu Zheng then smiled: "Thank you for your hard work."
Deng Wenhui quickly shook his head, his eyes shining: "Being able to follow Liu Zhizhou on this trip is worth it in this life! Hahaha, I really want to see how those people were so shocked today!"
Liu Zheng laughed and mounted his horse.
Deng Wenhui is obedient, sensible, and very capable. If possible, he would like to take him with him.
Mao Shi.
breaking Dawn.
Several trombones sounded melodiously from the imperial palace in Beijing. It means that Christmas day officially begins.
The whole city knelt down and worshiped.
When the nine trombones stopped playing, the whole city was filled with gongs and drums, and the festive atmosphere spread to every corner of the city. The merchants, bosses, and noble families who could not get close to the imperial city were also performing lion and dragon dances, firecrackers, and firecrackers at their doorsteps.
After nine trombone blasts, the ritual music in the depths of the imperial city still continued.
at this time.
Outside the Suzaku Gate of the imperial palace, all the civil and military officials from Longyan were kneeling, a long line of people, waiting for the figure of the Holy Emperor, Xie Tianyao. Liu Dahao, who is the governor of the Western Regions and the shepherd of Liangzhou, is naturally among them.
Today's palace is even more ablaze with lights and decorations. The Longyan Dynasty advocates gold, so there is glittering gold everywhere.
Until Chen hour.
The melodious trombone sounded again from deep within the palace.
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
"Welcome Your Majesty!"
"Welcome Christmas!"
"Welcome Christmas!"
Manager Zhou's shouts came from the palace.
Crash.
These civil and military officials just stood up and quickly knelt down.
