On the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the performance of the Jiao on Zhuque Street is a feast for the people of Chang'an.
At night, there are more and more pedestrians on the street, and by the time the lights are on, they are already waving their sleeves one after another.
There are people who sing and dance on the streets, there are people who watch lanterns and guess riddles, there are people who sell goods, and there are people who travel with their families, until the sonorous music comes from afar, and everyone rushes forward to greet the big array, and the dance team sings and dances Ge Halberd shining, golden armor brilliant, the first to open the way is the "four phases", followed by a pair of men and women, the man wears a red coat and painted trousers, wearing an old man mask, this person is a man.
The woman wears a green coat and wears a painting pants, and wears an old woman's mask, which is the mother.
Behind them were three hundred and sixty guardians wearing doll masks, followed by the four heavenly kings of the Buddhist Brahma holding high four kinds of artifacts, the Taoist gods and goddesses with white hair fluttering or holding Buddha dust or holding the seven-star sword, the five generals wielding long whips, and the Anseong Dazheng spewing holy fire This is not only the grand festival of the people of Chang'an, but also the grand festival of the gods and Buddhas of the sky, but almost all the gods and Buddhas who can be counted have been pulled out, and the next is to play the various demon characters who play the charm and spirit, they sing and dance, all the way forward.
On this night, there were many people on the street who set up stalls to sell masks, and most of the people who watched the dance bought a mask to put on, and some of the young children who wore masks danced and mixed into the procession of driving the boys, so that the line became longer and longer, and there were more and more people, and finally there were thousands of people dancing together, which was really spectacular.
Yang Fan's family walked in the crowd, and they all wore masks on their faces, and people came and went on the long street, everyone wore masks, making people feel as if they were in the world of masks.
In this case, it is easy for the family to get lost, so the adults hold the hands of the children and do not let go for a moment.
Although Gu Zhuting said that she was pregnant, with her skills, she didn't have to worry about being bumped into by someone when she walked to watch the dance, but for safety, Yang Fan still got a step-pull car to carry her along, and this car became a symbol for the Yang family to identify each other, and the family walked slowly around the car.
With his arms, his muscles are stretched and powerful, and the Pangu clan with a hideous mask is holding a bronze mountain opening axe, Huer is raising his head to split the sky, Huer is bowing his head and slashing the ground, and he walks with his teeth and claws, accompanied by a high-spirited and agitated drumbeat, murderous, Yang Nianzu saw his fierce appearance, and couldn't help but lean timidly towards his father's side.
Yang Fan touched his head with a smile and looked at the big man who was pretending to be Pangu.
The big man dances clumsily, the movements are rough, and there is a sense of wildness and mystery in the ancient chaotic period, showing the giant's pioneering spirit and the power of primitive humans to the fullest, which makes people's blood rush.
"Oops, people's masks" There was a sudden coquettish sound next to him, Yang Fan turned his head to look, but it was Yang Sirong who had scraped off her mask, and was trampled under the feet of the crowd before she could pick it up, the angry little girl stomped her feet, Yang Fan took off his mask and handed it to her, and said with a smile: "Don't pout, you can hang an oil bottle, and you can buy another one when you see it." ” "Oh" Si Rong took Daddy's mask sullenly, her mask was originally a Magu fairy, very beautiful, but Daddy's mask was a monkey face with eyebrows and eyes, Si Rong didn't like it, but it was better than nothing, so she had to take it and put it on her head, Yang Nianzu wore a pig face with a fat head and big ears, and laughed at her.
Yang Fan led the family to watch the scenery all the way, walked away, and was walking, when the road ahead was suddenly blocked by two oncoming people.
Looking at the clothes and figures of the two people, it should be a man and a woman, the male is tall and burly, wearing a mask of a smiling Maitreya, and the female has a little imp with a blue face and fangs, and a bright red tongue sticks out of the ghost's face.
"Excuse me" Yang Fan said politely, but the two of them didn't move, Yang Fan's eyes were slightly condensed, Ren Wei and the others were struggling in the crowd, and when they saw something unusual, they immediately leaned over here.
The big-bellied Maitreya lifted his mask, revealing a smiling face, Yang Fan lost his voice and said: "Xue, why are you?"
Xue Huaiyi put down the mask and said with a smile: "Such a lively scene, the Sprinkle family naturally wants to see it."
Yang Fan glanced at the little ghost standing next to him, and said in his heart: "This must be Master Ruoxiang."
"It's always a little weird to think of a gentle and graceful Fuso beauty, who actually wears a blue-faced and fanged imp mask.
As soon as they saw that Yang Fan knew the visitor, Ren Wei and the others immediately dispersed into the crowd again, and no one noticed that they were the entourage of the family from beginning to end.
Xiaoman and Anu both recognized Xue Huaiyi, and the two were secretly surprised, but they were very calm, and immediately passed Ruoxiang quietly, like a family.
There were people coming and going on the long street, and Yang Fan no longer called Xue Shi, but said: "It's not that you haven't seen Wu Wu, what is there to see." ” Xue Huaiyi laughed and said: "Driving the Jiao is the most lively event in the New Year, although I have seen it, but Ruoxiang has not seen it, I will bring her to see it for a long time." ” "Oh, what about the two brothers?"
"Don't mention them, two unproductive things.
A group of girls were singing and dancing, and the two bastards squeezed in to join in the fun, but they got separated. ” Yang Fan really didn't expect Xue Huaiyi to be so bold, the two walked side by side, Yang Fan always looked left and right, Xue Huaiyi saw his uneasy appearance, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, I look like this now, just go to the front of the palace and walk around, what's the matter." ” Yang Fan sighed: "The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are." ” Xue Huaiyi stared at him and sneered: "In front of me, do you dare to call the lake When you first sprinkled the family and roamed the rivers and lakes, you kid didn't know yet" Xue Huaiyi paused for a moment, sighed again, and said: "That's it, I am a child of the rivers and lakes, you are not old in the rivers and lakes, you are not old in the rivers and lakes, you are not old, you can't compare" Yang Fan said with a smile: "Master is so carefree now, compared to the majesty of the past, if you say old, it is also old and strong." ” Xue Huaiyi laughed out loud, and said proudly: "Yes, this one, the Sprinkle family deserves it" He put his arm around Yang Fan's shoulders and said mysteriously in his ear: "Soon, you will have a little junior brother." ” Yang Fan Qi said: "No, the master shaves people again, ah" Yang Fan suddenly reacted and said in surprise: "Could it be that she is the master" Xue Huaiyi giggled.
In fact, he wanted to laugh out loud, but suddenly thought that he was about to become a father, and he should be deeper, and the result of deliberately holding back was that the laughter was like an old hen that had just laid eggs.
The driving team gradually moved away, many people cheered and laughed and chased after them, and the place where Yang Fan and the others were suddenly relaxed a lot, and they were able to roam and watch the lanterns and enjoy the scenery.
Xue Huaiyi looked at a huge lamp tree on the side of the road, and commented disdainfully: "This lamp tree is far worse than the hundred-foot lamp tree of the Sprinkle family back then." ” This lamp tree is dozens of feet high, and it is the largest lamp tree on this Suzaku Street, but it is more than twice as short as the lamp tree that Xue Huaiyi built on Dingding Street in Luoyang.
Yang Fan remembered the scene when he climbed the lamp tree with Princess Taiping, sat side by side on the "leaves", overlooked Luoyang City, and whispered kisses at the star-picking place, and couldn't help but be fascinated.
There was a sudden twitch in the distance, followed by a sea of cheers.
In fact, at this time, the streets are crowded with people, and it is really not easy to see any movement, but people's actions flow in the north-south direction of Suzaku Street, and if the crowd suddenly stops and dodges left and right, it will naturally attract attention.
Yang Fan and Xue Huaiyi stood and looked at the long street, and saw four or five border soldiers, full of wind and frost, holding the red flag, the red flag hunting in the wind, they galloped all the way, shook the red flag, and shouted in a rough and hoarse voice: "Tubo Zampu died violently, the sons fought for the king, the domestic chaos was over, and the border troubles were lifted" There are too many people in the upper reaches of Suzaku Street, although the lights on the long street are bright, but people can see clearly that the people who come are the post guards of the red flag and have no time to dodge, it is because these border army messengers are not running fast, their shouts are clearly heard by everyone, and the cheers immediately sounded, and the people behind who still did not know the truth were stunned.
As the messenger rushed to the direction of Miyagi like a thorn and thorn, the news spread one after another, and the cheers also rose one after another, like a tide.
Yang Fan was stunned for a while, and then he was ecstatic, he didn't expect that the Tubo Zanpu Imperial Commander personally marched the Six Edicts, and he actually died violently.
The so-called sons fighting for the king should be a contest between the mothers behind the princes, and only in this way will the consequences be more serious, and the civil strife in Tibet is far more complicated than he expected Tubo is really unfavorable, first with the Turks to jointly send troops, the original plan was good, but suddenly encountered a blizzard, delayed the action, and then drove the personal expedition of the Zampu rioter, the domestic chaos, although the broken leaf city has not yet sent back the news, but the crisis of the imperial court on both sides has been lifted.
In front of Guanglu Temple outside the Suzaku Gate, there are all kinds of magnificent and mysterious ice lanterns on the street, although it is not to the Yuan, there are still many lantern riddles hanging under the eaves on both sides of the long street, the sisters of the Xiangwang Mansion are enjoying the roadside, Shouchang, Xianyuan and other four slightly older people gather together to watch the lanterns, and the other seven younger ones are guessing the lantern riddles on the roadside.
Among the women, Li Zhiying is the smartest and responds quickly, she has guessed several anagrams, and all the rewards and gifts were given to the little sister Huo Guo, who smiled with joy, and clinged to her sister with a bunch of toys in her skirt, patting her ass to cheer her up.
Qingyang stood in front of a riddle and slowly groaned: "The nose is facing the sky, and the mouth is facing the ground."
Hit it with a hammer, and it shook the earth.
Well, it's " "The bell is clearly a bell."
Li Zhiying jumped over and answered with a grin.
"Oh, little girl, you're really good, and you've guessed it again."
The stall owner picked up a lotus lantern and said with a smile: "This is your reward." ” Huo Guo hurriedly wrapped his clothes and said, "Put it here, put it here."
He said to Li Zhiying: "Shi Niang is really amazing." ” Li Zhiying rubbed the tip of his somewhat red nose with the back of his hand, and said triumphantly: "That's, there is no anagram that can catch me."
Well, a hundred sisters, a thousand sisters, sleeping in the same bed, each covered with a quilt, what is this" Li Zhiying lightly tapped his forehead and thought about it, Li Huawan sighed, and Qingyang asked, "What is Wu Niang's sigh for the New Year?"

Li Huawan said: "The Tibetan envoys still don't give up, I'm just afraid that we can hide from the first day of junior high school, but we can't hide from the fifteenth."
What like that girl"" Li Huawan glared at Li Zhiying, who was concentrating on guessing the riddle, and said hatefully: "This heartless person doesn't know how to worry." ” Qingyang said: "If grandmother really wants to make people go to Tubo and kiss, it must come from you and me, and she is nine years old, how can it be her turn, she is naturally not in a hurry." ” Li Zhiying's ears were sharp, and when he heard the discussion of his sisters, he was not aggrieved.
She is an optimist, thinking that even if she wants to get married, isn't she still married, she still has to live, can she cry every day and mourn her face can solve the problem, but the bad people still think of a way, my sister said this about her, she was naturally unhappy.
But she couldn't tell her sister that General Yang had promised her to think of a way, but the matter was important and complicated, and it couldn't be effective immediately.
Li Zhiying got angry, so he forgot about guessing the riddle, Huo Guo waited for a long time, and couldn't help asking: "Shi Niang, what is this riddle about?"
Li Zhiying glared at her, and just as she was about to speak, the Red Flag messenger arrived, and their voices became more and more hoarse, but Chengtianmen was already impressive, and their voices were also extremely excited: "Reporting the good news and the victory Tubo Zampu died violently, the sons of Tubo competed for the throne, Tubo was in chaos, and the border troubles were lifted."
Shouguang, Qingyang, Xicheng and the others were all stunned when they heard the news, until the messengers beat their horses and whipped away from their eyes, and the sisters cheered and hugged each other tightly.
Huo Guo persevered and asked: "Shi Niang, what is the mystery, Shi Niang" "Pomegranate pomegranate" Li Zhiying replied to the girl, Huo Guo immediately turned around and said happily: "Shopkeeper, the mystery is pomegranate, give me a gift" Li Zhiying walked down the steps in a daze, and the light of the ice lamp reflected on her jelly-smooth face, which was a kind of dreamlike beauty.
"Oh my God, how did he do it, he really did it, he really killed the king of Tubo, it's really amazing."
Li Zhiying's eyes were reflected in the lanterns, and she murmured in a dream-like tone that only she could hear, the tone was dreamlike, with a hint of girlish and childishness, On the Chengtian Gate, Wu Zetian, accompanied by Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi, was watching the exorcism dance in the palace.
The palace is presided over by Taichang Temple, and one hundred and twenty people from the small yellow gate are selected as the nephews, and then the burly and sturdy Jinwu guards are selected to hold the golden spear and dragon flag, embroidered and painted clothes, and wear gold-plated bronze armor, pretending to be all kinds of gods and demons.
At this time, all the immortals, accompanied by the princess, the mother and the nephews, chased a group of ghost kings and demons who had no way to enter the sky and no door, so they had to kneel and surrender and be beheaded by a big axe.
The husband and the mother led the servants to sing the words to the Chengtian Gate: "One wishes that the family is auspicious, the second wishes that the husband and wife are safe, the third wishes that the wind and rain are smooth, the fourth wishes that the fields are ripe, the fifth wishes the pigs and cattle are prosperous, the sixth wishes the five grains are abundant, the seventh wishes the world is peaceful, the eighth wishes are my emperor Qianqiu, and the nine wishes" A red flag was planted on his back, because he had galloped all the way without a moment's rest, and his legs were numb by two strong forbidden soldiers, and his feet did not touch the ground on the Chengtian Gate, and the man fell headlong at Wu Zetian's feet, and reported the news of what happened in Tubo to Wu Zetian in detail.
It turned out that the Nanzhao in the area of Jiang Yu rebelled under the instigation of the Great Zhou, and then the mud Brahmins and other southern vassal states rebelled one after another.
Originally, the Tibetan generals also knew the truth of not mourning and calmly withdrawing from the army, but the problem was that this news could be kept secret from the outside world, and it was always impossible not to report it to the royal court internally.
As soon as the news was transmitted back to the royal court, Wang Cheng immediately exploded, and the sons of the king of Tubo were not big, and each princess had her own political forces behind her, and they all wanted to support their sons on the throne, and they were inextricably beaten for a while.
The Tubo royal city was in chaos, the news could no longer be hidden, the six edicts took advantage of the victory to pursue, and the border armies of Wuzhou and Zhou also launched an attack on the Tubo army that had been facing each other for a long time, and the soldiers and horses of all walks of life in Tubo were eager to go back to help the prince who was beneficial to them, and they had no intention of fighting, and for a time they formed a situation of total defeat.
Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi were surprised and delighted when they heard this, and hurriedly bowed to Wu Zetian: "Congratulations to our emperor and my emperor to start the new year this spring, happy events are repeated, it is really gratifying."
Wu Zetian slowly stood up from the royal chair, looked down at the city, and suddenly pointed to those who were kneeling on the ground to give their heads dressed as demons and monsters, and smiled at Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong: "Wulang, Liulang, you see, the appearance of those ghosts and demons does not look like Tubo people."
Zhang Yizhi and Zhang Changzong understood and hurriedly replied: "It's too similar."
"Hahahaha" Wu Zetian held the dish wall in his hand and laughed loudly : In the early morning, I sincerely ask for monthly passes and recommended tickets To be continued
