Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

According to the order of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, the rest day of New Year's Eve is connected with the rest day of Shangyuan Festival, and two extra days are moved from other places, making up a rare long vacation since the founding of Ming Dynasty.

Although I don't know why His Majesty changed his temper, it is definitely a thing worth celebrating for civil and military officials.

Therefore, after obtaining the emperor's approval, officials from various departments also brought out the sealing ceremony of officials in Song Dynasty.

The seal ribbon indicates that the work is stopped, and the officials then stay in their own places to spend the New Year. This is a tradition since Song Dynasty.

The system in Yuan Dynasty was quite chaotic. Most of the time, the central government of Yuan Dynasty had very limited ability to restrain the provinces. The rest days of Han officials in the local areas were entirely decided by the Mongolian nobles, so the so-called sealing ceremony was out of the question.

After the founding of Ming Dynasty, it was simply because there was too little rest time, and officials had neither the mood nor the leisure to hold the sealing ceremony.

After all, although the former Song Dynasty had a lot of difficulties in fulfilling its ambitions, it could take a month off when bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, and they had the confidence to seal the seal.

What about our Ming Dynasty? From the sealing ceremony to the opening of the seal to the resumption of work, I am afraid that the ink on the seal has not dried yet.

Now we have the confidence to hold the sealing ceremony, but His Majesty the Emperor has also added an order that the Ming Dynasty’s various departments will not take a day off, and all departments must keep officials on duty. After the opening of the seal, they must repay their rest days in order according to the number of days on duty.

Although it is difficult to compare with the former Song Dynasty, for the officials of the Ming Dynasty, the first month of the fourteenth year of Hongwu was indeed quite comfortable.

For more than half a month, they can temporarily forget the name Hu Weiyong in their heads, and they can also forget about the strict emperor and the approachable crown prince.

Riding a horse to swagger through the city for forty miles, drinking ten miles and composing poems ten miles, singing ten miles and toasting with relatives and friends ten miles.

Cross the street to watch the circus, go to the restaurant to see the Hu people, walk through the alleys to see the children holding candies and shouting, stop at the end of the alley to listen to the storyteller's rubbing the lingering sound.

If you have some spare money, you can also charter a small boat and wait until dusk, accompanied by thousands of lights lighting up the starry sky, and then with the sound of flutes, pipa, zither, and zither, let the boatman drift slowly along the Qinhuai River and hear the joyful laughter flowing from the green tiles and red roofs of the palaces and Buddhist temples, which is the second-class pleasure in the world.

As for the first-class pleasure that can only be enjoyed by entering these places... civil and military officials still have to make a choice between it and wearing an official hat on their heads.

After all, there are rumors now that the Jinyiwei that was re-established in the palace is a combination of multiple departments led by the emperor and the prince, and its jurisdiction covers all aspects of Yingtian Prefecture. They, as officials, must not really be unrestrained just because of a half-month break.

But in short, even if they only enjoyed the second-best pleasure in the world, it was enough to make the officials forget everything. After all, they had always been trembling in the court. Who would have thought that this day would come?

But in short, in the first month of the fourteenth year of Hongwu, the combination of two rest days finally made this new empire, which had been busy since its birth, enter its first normal rest rhythm.

In the harem of the palace, Crown Prince Zhu Biao picked up the dice on the table and looked up to see his father's strange behavior.

All officials in the world rested, and no report was made except for major events, so the real center of the Ming Dynasty was also idle.

It was rare for the brothers to reunite, so at Zhu Di's suggestion, the brothers simply found a play to play the extermination of Yuange.

Since the leaf play in the Tang Dynasty, later generations have continuously improved this play. As for the Song Dynasty, Yang Danian took the name of the play method on this basis and named it Honghe, and performed it as Hege.

After that, the way to play leaf games became more diverse, but generally speaking, they are still divided into two types: with grids and without grids. The way to play without grids still requires each player to grab leaves, take turns to play cards to catch small cards and calculate other people's cards, focusing on the game.

The way to play with grids needs to be played on a grid board, with a spinning top or dice to determine the number of grids to be advanced, and then the size of the leaves is used to finally determine the benefits of each step, focusing on the game.

After a brief discussion, the brothers, except Zhu Su, did not want to play brain games, so they finally chose the grid game. This type of game often has a simple background. For example, the promotion map originated in the Tang Dynasty requires players to start from a commoner and use dice to bet on "virtue, talent, merit, corruption" and other results, and finally become the highest official.

And now the brothers are playing the very contemporary extermination of the Yuan grid. Starting from a soldier, they use dice to bet on "victory, nourishment, combination, and defeat". Under the leadership of Emperor Hongwu, they step by step become generals and expel the Mongols and restore China.

It was Zhu Biao's turn to throw the dice. He noticed his father's restless expression. He was holding a book in his hand, but it was obvious that he didn't read a single word. Instead, he looked at the roof from time to time, and then looked out the window at the relatively deserted palace city outside.

Empress Ma, who was standing by, put down the last stitch, bit off the thread with her teeth skillfully, and then lifted up the small dress and looked at it with satisfaction. Then she noticed the look on her son's face and said directly:

"Your father is tired of us wives, daughters and children, and is thinking about his Ming Dynasty."

"No way!" Zhu Yuanzhang denied it hastily.

"Where is it not?"

Empress Ma put her hands on her waist and slapped the table:

"Two days ago, on the night of the second day of the lunar year, I thought of your Majesty's hardship, so I took him for a walk in the snow to relax."

"What happened? I said the light snow on my face was like the first snow of the year we got married. Your Majesty said that he remembered the night he and Xu Da and Tang He decided to leave Haozhou, Nanlue and Dingyuan, and it was also snowing like this."

"I said it's been a long time since we talked alone. Your Majesty said that after destroying the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, making the Japanese surrender and marching to the South China Sea to pacify the Strait Road, we will also conquer Annan and make a plan for Java. Then we can retire. This is what we do every day."

"I said I want to go out of the palace in disguise in a few days. Your Majesty said he was afraid that if something unexpected happened, he would not be able to find the emperor. How can he leave easily? After the officials start to work, he can slowly find a day to go out of the palace for fun."

As Empress Ma scolded more and more, Zhu Yuanzhang retreated more and finally covered his face and fled, but when he stepped out of here, he was still He turned around and shouted at his sons who were all staring at him:

"What are you looking at? Go play games. After the Lantern Festival, you are not allowed to waste time like this!"

After that, he left in a hurry without looking back. Empress Ma stuffed the sewn clothes into Zhu Biao's arms:

"Take it back to Xiongying. If it doesn't fit, bring it back to me and let me make some changes."

After that, she hurriedly chased in the direction where the emperor left tomorrow:

"Zhu Chongba!"

The brothers looked at each other. Zhu Biao pinched the small clothes in his hand, and a helpless smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, Zhu Zhen whispered:

"Brother, do you still want to play? If you don't play, then it's time for me to leave. I can win the title of general in the next step!"
