Chapter 136 Fireworks Show and the Stubborn Marquis

In Luoyang City, there are many military units responsible for guarding the emperor.

In charge of the outermost city gate captain of the twelve gates of the eastern capital. Between the city wall and Miyagi there are three troops: Zhijinwu, Beijun, and Xiyuan.

Within the palace city, there are guards commanding the north and south palace guards (also known as imperial guards) who are responsible for guarding the palace gates; while the Huben Army and Habayashi Army commanded by Guang Luxun are responsible for the safety of all palaces outside the province.

In the province, the most core residential area of ​​the emperor, there are three to five hundred armed eunuchs in charge. Unless the emperor summons, outsiders are not allowed to enter.

Tai Shici ran around for a few days to find out more about it.

The Huben Army has a tradition of father-to-son replacement, and the Habayashi Guard has gathered a large number of honorable children, and the North and South Palace Guards are dull, and the nepotism among the three armies is serious and intricate, so it is not a good choice.

The west garden is controlled by eunuchs, and Tai Shici doesn't want to enter the northern army and Jinwu's Tiqi.

Therefore, he chose the Luoyang city defense force and became a glorious guard, guarding the first barrier of the emperor.

Lu Yu, the school captain of the city gate, is more flexible.

Zhi Jinwu's face must be given, and Tai Shi is kind and steadfast, and he will secure the seeds properly, and there is no harm in forming a good relationship.

Therefore, Tai Shici became the city gate marquis of Jinmen (also known as Jinyangmen) in the southwest corner, and he was in charge of a group of people.

Jinmen is the only water gate connected to the river in Luoyang. Hundreds of boats come and go every day, which is a solid and fat shortage.

Tai Shici, the new official, was full of great enthusiasm, and he worked meticulously from dawn to dusk.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, on August [-]th, Taixue held the World Talents Debate Conference.

More than a dozen famous scholars and scholars, and dozens of young talents gathered together, which is a rare event in the literary world in recent years.

Even the shops and pavilions around Taixue have launched special sales and promotions.

Zhenji Teahouse even released news that it will hold a large-scale fireworks show on Luoshui in the evening.

Now, the area around Chengnan Taixue has become a hotspot, attracting customers from all over the world, and the banks of the Luohe River are crowded with people.

Some rich and powerful children simply chartered a cruise ship early, planning to bring their friends and friends to watch the fireworks show up close at night.

The grand event in the Taixue literary world ended in the evening, and a large number of folk Confucian celebrities had countless fans, and it was a win-win situation with Taixue.

As the sun sinks into the horizon.Night fell over Dongdu.

Working at sunrise and resting at sunset, the eleven city gates of the Eastern Capital were closed almost at the same time.

As the only water gate, under the command of Tai Shici, Jinmen slowly lowered the wide iron fence across the river, prohibiting all ships from passing.

After locking the sluice, the subordinates brought dinner for Taishi Menhou.

The table is full of food and drink, which is very rich.

In order to show the brand effect as much as possible, Zhenji Teahouse arranges the boats for setting off fireworks to go upstream from east to west. The speed is not fast, and the fireworks show will take longer.

Starting from Kaiyangmen, which is across the river from Taixue, and ending at Jinmen, strive to let the dignitaries and millions of residents on both sides of the Luohe River be able to see it.

At Xu time, that is, when most people had had dinner, a paddle steamer slowly approached on the Luohe River to the east of Taixue.

The Zhen family leased a cargo ship from the SF Express for the fireworks show.

On the front deck, a large firework shell half the height of a person has been fixed by the fireworks shop.

The terrace on the top floor of the Zhenji Teahouse near Taixue was crowded with female relatives.

Invited by the Zhen Mansion, Diao Chan and Zhen Jiang brought Liu Yifei and Liu Chan, and Zhang Lan brought four daughters to watch the fireworks show together.

The second daughter of the Zhen family, Zhen Tuo, has good eyesight, and was the first to spot the red lanterns on the fireworks boat, which went on and off three times.

"Fireworks are about to start!"

Everyone quieted down and looked at the dark shadow of the boat on the river.

Silently, there was a muffled "Boom!", and a meteor with light rose rapidly from the ship to high altitude and then went out.

Liu Yifei didn't see it with her eyes wide open, so she couldn't help asking.

"Hey, where are you?"

Before the words were finished, there was an explosion in mid-air, and thousands of light spots covered the sky, shining brightly and glamorously.

Before anyone could exclaim, a series of bolides rushed out like a meteor shower.

In a moment, the fireworks one after another, like a hundred flowers in full bloom, adorn the dark sky beautifully.

"Wow wow wow! It's so beautiful!"

"Ah, so beautiful!"

Liu Yifei and Liu Chan shouted excitedly, and the female relatives also laughed and talked, pointing and commenting, and the atmosphere was very active.

Zhang Lan saw that the eldest daughter was getting more and more beautiful, and knew that her son-in-law was not neglected, and that Liu's back house got along well, so she finally felt at ease this time.

The son-in-law rides a horse to fight, dismounts his horse to comfort the people, and can still occupy the back house when he returns home. He is definitely a rare man in the world.

For example, after three months of rehearsals, Zhen Kee Teahouse is at the forefront of pop culture again.

In addition to the original folk songs and dances, storytelling and cross talk, this time a new form of performance has been added.

A combination of three or five people, with a simple arrangement of props, can deduce historical allusions and wonderful stories, and the feedback from the audience is generally very good.

Thanks to his son-in-law's idea, Zhen Ji once again expanded his influence, and according to his son-in-law's advice, he struck while the iron was hot and was willing to spend money on publicity.

Therefore, there is this fireworks show.

The opening of the fireworks show shook the banks of the Luo River, and even taller buildings in the city could be seen.

The viewers are like mountains and seas, and the wandering traders make a lot of money.

The Luoyang Yamen servants and the newly formed security team were all dispatched to maintain order while guarding against fire hazards.

In view of the fact that there are many cruise ships following the fireworks boat, Liu Bei, the executive king, specially arranged three speedboats to patrol the river back and forth as a precaution.

Sun Xia, chief of the Public Security Fire Department, was sitting on the bow of the public security speedboat.

His eyes were always locked on a three-story luxury ship not far away.

On the upstairs boat, there were more than a dozen boys and girls drinking and having fun, shouting and screaming at the constantly blooming fireworks, which can be described as the extreme of wildness.

Using binoculars to see clearly, there are He Xian of the Great General, Yuan Tan of the Yuan family, Tang Mu of the Guozhang's family, and Liu He of the Shepherd's family of Youzhou.

These four honorable youths, as well as singers and dancers, all stars Gongyue, belonged to the current emperor in white dragon fish suit, Liu Bian.

The court etiquette that lasted for several months made the lively little emperor miserable.

Hearing about the fireworks show on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Liu Bian couldn't bear it any longer and forced the "Four King Kongs" to find a way.

As the emperor's playmate, He Xian, the elder brother who took the lead, had actually planned it for a long time, so, just after dark, he secretly took the little emperor out of the province, relying on his identity to leave the city through the upper east gate, and then boarded the three-story boat, Start the carnival party.

Liu Bian grew up in Shi Dao's family, and under the influence of his ears and eyes, he was accustomed to the affairs of men and women.

More than a dozen singers and dancers are veterans in the Fengyue field. They either show their breasts, or express affection with their eyebrows, trying their best to seduce and tease this group of rich young masters.

The floors of the buildings and boats have become places of prostitution, which is really unsightly.

Sun Xia put down the binoculars and sighed.

If you keep staring at this, I'm afraid there will be a needle's eye?
The secret order given to him by Zhi Jinwu: secretly protect the emperor, and keep everyone silent.

Seeing the cabin upside down, Sun Xia was really worried that if she made too much movement, it would be troublesome if she fell into the water.

But if you get too close, you will be spotted by the other party.

You can only let your subordinates be on standby at any time, and if something happens to the building ship, it will be rescued and protected as soon as possible.

However, the quality of the building boats was very good, and the manpower arranged by He Xian was also very capable, so no accidents happened.

Sun Xia followed all the way outside Jinmen, and the firework show of Zhen's family also came to an end.

Guessing that it was almost Haishi, He Xian felt that it was time to return to the palace, otherwise the Empress Dowager He would find out and everyone would definitely be punished.

Liu Bian got up from the beauty, although he felt that he still wanted more, but considering the long flow of water, he agreed.

However, when he heard that he had to go back the same way and enter the city through the upper east gate, he immediately became unhappy.

"It's too roundabout, Jinmen is right in front of you, let me row a boat directly in!"

He Xian's persuasion had no effect, so he could only row a boat close to Jinmen, and order to open the gate to let him go.

At first, Tai Shi Cihun ignored him.

"So what about the son of General He? Don't open it!"

The veteran quickly reminded that the general has a high position and authority, and he cannot afford to be offended.

Tai Shici was unmoved, helpless, the veteran went out, and ran back again after a while.

"Mr. Taishimen, Captain He please go and answer."

Tai Shici put on his whole body, came to the gate tower, and saw He Xian and others on the tower boat.

"Hai Shimen, His Majesty is on board, and I order you to open the gate quickly!"

Tai Shici was startled, but soon came to his senses: "How dare you pass the imperial decree falsely?"

At this time, Liu Bian got impatient, staggered out of the cabin, and shouted loudly: "Little doorman, if you dare to stop me, I will kill you."

He Xian hurriedly dragged Liu Bian back to the cabin, and he must not reveal it, otherwise he would leave something to talk about.

Soon, He Xian came out and asked Tai Shici to open the sluice gate.

Tai Shici replied neither overbearing nor humble: "Forgive me!"

He Xian was startled, looked at the cabin behind him, and asked, "Did you not see Your Majesty?"

Tai Shici replied coldly: "I see clearly! But, dare not violate the prohibition!"

"You wait!"

He Xian's nose was twisted with anger, knowing that he had encountered a stubborn species, he had no choice but to turn to other city gates.
