There is a Tianxing Building in Chang'an City. This is the tallest landmark building in Chang'an City. It was built only in the last two years. It was built by the government to hold major events in the city.
The Tianxing Tower is managed by a special person on weekdays, and it is usually open to the common people. People are allowed to visit the Tianxing Tower, but each person needs to pay a sightseeing fee of [-] yuan. The money is used for the salaries of the management personnel and the daily maintenance.
Today is the Shangyuan Festival. Early in the morning, the soldiers of the forbidden army closed the Tianxing Building, and no one else was allowed to approach. The forbidden army conducted a detailed inspection of each floor of the Tianxing Building to ensure the internal safety.
At night, Zhao Junsheng's family went to the top floor of Tianxing Tower to enjoy the scenery.
Zhao Junsheng said to Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong with a smile: "I want to see how the Lantern Festival can be made by ordinary people without official organization!"
Hua Mulan smiled and said, "Don't underestimate the enthusiasm of the people!"
Under the condition of ensuring the long-term stability of the public security environment, the Dagan Dynasty canceled the curfew system, which is a good thing for many people. They have entertainment activities at night, instead of having to sleep when it gets dark .
The sky gradually darkened, and the streets and alleys in Chang'an City began to light up with lanterns.
"Look, there are more and more people on the street!" Wan Yutong said, pointing to the street directly in front of Suzaku Avenue.
As the night falls, the lanterns in the streets and alleys are lit up, and there are more and more pedestrians on the streets, and many lanterns are hung in front of every shop and house.
The streets are crowded with people, so lively.
Suddenly, there was a sound of gongs and drums, and a lion dance team came from an alley to the street amidst the sound of gongs and drums. Pedestrians gave way one after another, and they followed the lion dance team all the way to the direction of the imperial city.
There is a large open space in West Market. At this time, a towering shelf has been erected on the open space. Hydrangeas are placed on the top of the shelf, and large gift bags are placed in the hydrangea. This is a dance organized by the West Market merchants in Chang'an County. In the lion meeting, each lion dance team has to climb to the top of the big wooden frame, and the lion dance team that arrives first will get the big gift package if it snatches the hydrangea.
Soon, several lion dance teams headed towards Xishi from all directions one after another. The strong men of the lion dance team danced their lion heads and used their hands and feet to the sound of gongs and drums, causing the people to applaud and cheer.
Hua Mulan smiled and said, "It's quite fun!"
Zhao Junsheng said: "It will be more fun when we grab the hydrangea later!"
When several lion dancers climbed onto the big wooden frame, many strong men immediately brought thick cushions and laid them under the frame to prevent any lion dancers from falling to their deaths.
After the lion dancers climbed the wooden support, they started fighting with each other. In order to fight for the hydrangea and get the big gift bag, all the lion dancers fought hard.
Wan Yutong saw the lion dancers fighting fiercely on the wooden frame, and even two people fell from a height, and immediately exclaimed: "Ah! They won't fall to their deaths, will they?"
Zhao Junsheng smiled and said: "No, there are thick cushions underneath, and those lion dancers are all skilled in martial arts. When they fall, they will find ways to remove the impact, and at most they will suffer a little. It’s just an injury! Besides, they are all lion dance teams hired by merchants in West Market, even if they are injured, the merchants will give money to treat them!”
Wan Yutong patted his chest: "It's okay, but it's not good to get injured on the Lantern Festival!"
Zhao Junsheng said: "There are lion dances competing for hydrangea every year during the Lantern Festival, but few of them are actually injured. Do you think their fights are for real? It's for the audience and the common people. It’s just for show! The protective measures below are also well done. Even if they fall off, they are deliberately arranged to attract people’s attention, attract more people to watch, and achieve the purpose of promoting their business name. Great protection was done!"
Wan Yutong couldn't help but said: "It turns out there are so many mysteries in it, and those merchants really took great pains!"
Zhao Junsheng nodded: "Do you see a certain company name written on the back of those lion dances?"
Wan Yutong took a closer look and smiled: "It's true!"
After a while, a lion dancer climbed to the top and bit off the hydrangea with its lion head. The hydrangea burst open, and a long strip hung down. It read: "Chang'an Cloth Art wishes all elders and elders good health... ·”
Seeing such a program, the common people cheered and cheered, and they also remembered the name of Chang'an Fabric Art. The name of Chang'an Fabric Art was also known by more people, and the fame spread.
In another place, a high platform was set up in front of a flower building. On the high platform, a beautiful woman in white gauze was singing a melodious and festive poem to the accompaniment of musical instruments. In the prosperous age, it attracted a dense crowd to watch, and the scene burst into thunderous cheers.
Zhao Junsheng was talking with Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong, and the children next to them pointed to the celebration scene in the distance, and they all seemed very excited. They couldn't help jumping up and applauding when they saw the happy place.
There are too many people on the street. If these princes and princesses go down to have fun with the people, it will bring a lot of pressure to the guards. So Zhao Junsheng and Hua Mulan don’t let them go down to play. Can only stay on the Star Tower.
In the middle of the night, the enthusiasm of the people remained undiminished, but Zhao Junsheng, Hua Mulan, Wan Yutong and others could not stay any longer, and returned to the palace with the children.
After the lively three-day holiday of the Shangyuan Festival, all the yamen of the imperial court will also start to handle official business.
Early in the morning, Zhao Ping first came to Si Dianmao of the Imperial City. He called Si Cheng He Yong and asked, "Did you find any clues after staring at Zou Ruhai these days?"
He Yong shook his head and said, "I've been staring at it for almost two months, and I haven't found any useful clues!"
Zhao Ping frowned and said: "Could it be that our understanding and deduction are wrong? Cui Yanze said that the name was not Zou Ruhai before he died?"
He Yong hesitated for a moment, and said to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, if you want to verify whether it is Zou Ruhai, this subordinate thinks you can try it out, or use a trick to lure the snake out of its hole!"
Zhao Ping asked: "What do you want to do?"
He Yong pondered for a while, he walked up to Zhao Ping and whispered in his ear, Zhao Ping thought about it after listening, nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this!"
Zhao Ping arranged the affairs of the Imperial City Department, and then went to the Ministry of Punishment to take up duty. He is now serving as Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. The Ministry of Punishment has many affairs, so he must go to sit in person in person.
In the afternoon, a knight hurriedly arrived at the gate of the Imperial City Division. The knight jumped off his horse and showed his badge to be let go. He came to Si Cheng He Yong's class and reported: "Si Cheng, brothers search Cui Yanze's mansion again. Here comes the clue!"
He Yong stood up suddenly, "What did you find?"
"It's an account book, on which is written Cui Yanze's tribute to certain ministers in the court. When, where, and the amount, each one is clearly remembered!"
He Yong was overjoyed, and immediately said: "Bring it quickly!"
The knight took off the bundle from behind and opened it, took out an account book from it, and handed it over. He Yong took it and opened it to read it.
"Go down and rest first!"
"promise!"
He Yong closed the account book and walked back and forth in the classroom. After walking a few times, he stood still and shouted: "Come on, prepare the horses and chariots!"
After a while, an attendant came in and reported: "Report to Sicheng, the chariots and horses are ready outside the door!"
He Yong put the account book in his big sleeve, walked out, got into a carriage in front of the gate and went straight to the Ministry of Punishment.
When he arrived at the Ministry of Punishment, He Yong was led to Zhao Ping's classroom after being notified.
The little official reported to Zhao Ping: "Your Highness, He Sicheng has arrived!"
"This subordinate has met His Highness!" He Yong walked into the classroom and greeted Zhao Ping who was processing official documents.
Zhao Ping was quite surprised, and asked: "He Yong, what did you come here for? Why didn't this king say anything when I was arranging official business in the Imperial City Division?"
Chapter 951 Lead the snake out of the hole
He Yong immediately took out the account book from his big sleeve and said: "Your Highness, I sent people to search Cui Yanze's mansion again, and found a secret compartment on the wall of his study room, and found this in the secret compartment!"
"What is this?" Zhao Ping asked.
He Yong replied: "This is a detailed account of Cui Yanze's bribes to several important officials of the court over the years. I remember clearly when, where, and the amount of each sum!"
"What, bring it here!"
Zhao Ping quickly got up, took the account book, sat down and opened it to look at it. The more he looked at it, the worse his face became, and the uglier he looked, he said angrily after reading it: "Shocking, this group of people is really a coward! He Sicheng, you go prepare Manpower, arrest people immediately!"
