Chapter 141 Amnesty

While speaking, the imperial driver had passed the shed of King Liang's mansion and entered the Xuande Gate. The emperor went up to Xuande Tower, which was the ** of the winter solstice suburban sacrifice: After the amnesty, Li Xiaoyao stood up and walked to the shed. Mother Zhang followed her, pointed to the dozens of flags standing in front of Xuande Tower and said with a smile, "Look, the fifth master, the highest in the middle That, which is flush with Xuande Tower, is called Gai Tianqi! The one next to it, which has just been set up, is called the Huanglong, which is only a little smaller than the Gaitian flag. On the side, it is the Qingcheng flag and the Taimiao flag. The outsiders don't understand it. They think that what stands in front of the Xuande Building is called the Gaitian flag. How dares to cover the sky? Li Xiaoyao nodded with a smile, pointed to the ten-foot-high and extremely thick square pillar in the middle of the square and asked, "Is that called a chicken pole?"

"Yes! The fifth master looks at the top."

Li Xiaoyao followed Mother Zhang's fingers and looked at the wooden plate on the tip of the pole. A golden rooster on the plate stood upright, with a big red silk roll in its mouth. The bottom of the plate hung blue, yellow, red and white thick silk ropes down, hanging about ten feet from the ground. Mother Zhang couldn't take her eyes off the chicken pole, one side Look, he continued to introduce, "I heard that this year is the Longxiang Army, the Tiger Wing Army, and the relatives in front of the palace to compete for this year's glory. Yesterday, Wisteria also said that it must be my tiger wing army. Who in Man Beiping doesn't know that my tiger wing army is the most powerful!" Li Xiaoyao was silent and did not answer. This year's grand ceremony was hosted by Guo Qianli, Marquis of Ningyuan. This arrangement is very different from previous years. She and Mr. Liang analyzed this matter in detail in private. The four armies belonged to the father and son, and the emperor's health was not very healthy. He stared at the Xuande Gate that had been quieted.

Mother Zhang gently pulled her. Li Xiaoyao reacted and knelt on the ground with a long gown. The emperor ascended to Xuande Tower. When he stood on Xuande Tower and waved to all the people in the world, the people knelt on the ground and kowtowed. In fact, they could not see the waved hand.

Li Xiaoyao and Mother Zhang knelt down and kowtowed and stood up. The front of Xuande's door was neat and lively. Four black tights and strong warriors wrapped in red scarves stood neatly under Xuande's door. They knelt down on one knee and made a military salute to Xuande Building. They stood up in all directions of the chicken pole, each facing a color of silk, rushing. With a drumbeat on the Xuande Building, the four people jumped up like arrows from the string, grabbed the silk cord, climbed their hands, and kicked the neighboring climbers while rushing to the pole. In an instant, it was thrilling. The warrior on the red rope grabbed the first and reached out to pull away the red silk in the mouth of the golden chicken. The corner of the red silk should fall on the heavy object. The rapid move unfolded, revealing the four golden words 'long live the emperor'. The samurai in the direction of red silk cheered and thundered. Long live the mountain. As the four warriors slipped quickly, there was a long live in front of the Xuande Gate. Li Xiaoyao was secretly relieved. This battle was extremely fierce and beautiful. , beautiful and bright let the emperor take over the prize.

As soon as the cheers fell, a golden phoenix with colorful tail feathers slowly flew from the top of Xuande Tower and flew to the tall colorful building in front of Xuande's door. The Ministry of Criminal Justice was dressed in a big red auspicious suit, knelt on the ground, raised his hands high to take the imperial edict of amnesty from the golden phoenix's claws, stood up, and read it in a loud and elegant voice. Forgiveness, the sinners who had been kneeling in front of the colorful building for a long time were all brand-new yellow cloth shirts. Listening to the instructions of the jailer wearing big red auspicious clothes and flower hairpin next to them, they kowtowed neatly to thank you. Long live the mountain. The jailer went to the shackles of the sinners with joy and smiles. The sinners stood up, raised their hands and shouted long live, and retreated back. Get out.

Li Xiaoyao laughed a lot. The play was really good. Mother Zhang put her hands together and sighed, "Those who can catch up with the amnesty are blessed. Don't do that unreasonable thing when you go back. It's right to live." Li Xiaoyao turned his head and looked at her and smiled, "What you said is really good. It's right to live."

The amnesty ceremony was completed, and Xuandemen was immediately lively. There was already a miscellaneous drama on the colorful building. The dancing next to it was spinning. Next to the dance was juggling. There was a heroic teenager hanging on each of the four colored cables of the chicken pole, fighting, which was better than dancing. Li Xiaoyao stood for a moment and whispered: " Go back." Mother Zhang's eyes were reluctant, but she didn't delay for a moment. She waved to a little girl to call a car. She took her cloak and put it on Li Xiaoyao, let Li Xiaoyao, and followed downstairs.

Li Xiaoyao went downstairs wrapped in a cloak and stopped for a little. When Mother Zhang came down, he slowly walked to the car parked in the alley.

Looking at the cracks under the shed, a pair of gentle and peaceful big eyes carefully stared at Li Xiaoyao through the cracks. Li Xiaoyao slowly and suddenly turned around and looked at the blinds. His big eyes hurriedly flashed to the side. When he lifted the cracks again, Li Xiaoyao had turned into the alley.

A little girl in blue upstairs looked at the car and moved slowly. She hurried down the stairs and flashed into the tent. Inside the tent, Ruyue was wearing a peach-red brocade gray rat cloak, holding the tent and still looking at the entrance of the alley where Li Xiaoyao disappeared. The little girl gently pushed her and whispered, "Sister Ruyue? " Ruyue put down the mantle, put her hand back on the stove, and said with a gentle smile, "Thank you for your hard work. The fifth master has left. You have to find someone to report to the housekeeper quickly, and I will also go back."

"Well, I'll send Sister Ruyue there." The little girl said attentively. Ruyue nodded, handed the stove to the little girl to hold it, raised her hand and turned up the cape cap, took it back to hold the stove. The little girl raised the tent, looked left and right vigilantly, and dodged out. Ruyue followed closely behind her, lowered her head, wrapped the hood cloak tightly, and quickly walked into the alley on the other side of the shed and got into the car. I went back to Liang Wangfu.

On the night after the amnesty, it snowed heavily in Kaiping Mansion. Li Zongliang and others rushed back to Huwei Camp in the snow. After everyone left, Li Zhai was very quiet. Mrs. Fan asked Yuyan to come and hand over the account and the rest of the silver to Li Xiaoyao, but he did not mention anything about the weaving workshop. Li Xiaoyao did not ask much, but only transferred the account book. I gave it to Wisteria and handed over the housekeeper to Mother Zhang and Mother Lu. In fact, the Li family at this time has nothing to deal with except for her half a mu garden.

The snow fell all day and night before it cleared up. The whole Kaiping Mansion was covered with silver. Li Xiaoyao got up early in the morning and commanded the little girls to shout and pile up three or four strange snowmen. After playing enough, she was about to go out. The woman led Nanning, who was sweating on her forehead, and ran in. Nanning stared at the three or four strange snowmen. With his eyes, this fifth master is really good at playing.

"What's wrong?" Li Xiaoyao patted the snow on his hands and looked at Nanning and asked. Nanning hurriedly bowed to the end: "Nothing happened. I asked me to come over and tell the fifth master quickly. According to the usual practice, after the winter solstice, the emperor would drive to the minister's house. It happened that the snow was good. A letter was sent out from the palace. The emperor wanted to visit the Marquis of Ningyuan later. The master asked the fifth master to catch up. Prepare and go to the gate of King Liang's Mansion first. I also asked him to make a sound. As usual, it is necessary to be a joint poem.

"Who else will accompany the second master?"

"And Mr. Liang, the two masters have taken the special order and went directly to the Ningyuan Marquis's mansion. The second master Shui is waiting for him halfway, and they all have to go. This is an elegant event once a year." Nanning explained with a smile, and Li Xiaoyao nodded: "Okay, I'll go there after changing my clothes. Thank you very much." Nanning said a few polite words and quickly left.

Li Xiaoyi returned to Banmu Garden, called Mother Zhang and Mother Lu in, and simply said Nanning's words and ordered, "I wear men's clothing!" Mother Zhang nodded cheerfully and said, "Isn't that rude? Can I help the fifth master pick a cloak?"

"Hmm." Li Xiaoyao was relieved and nodded with a smile. Wisteria hurriedly asked someone to send hot water pots and handkerchiefs to come in. Several neatly waited for Li Xiaoyao to cleanse up and comb their hair. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu had picked a green brocade thin cotton gown and apricot yellow embroidered pale yellow orchid silver fox cloak came out. Li Xiaoyaola The long shirt and cloak asked, "Is this color worn by the girl's family?"

"Isn't the fifth master a girl's house?" Mother Lu asked with a smile. Li Xiaoyao glanced at her and stretched out her arm with her head down. Wisteria and Begonia hurried forward to help change their clothes. Danyue squeezed her lips and smiled. She looked at the clothes, picked out a mutton fat jade hairpin and replaced the jasper hairpin that had just been inserted into Li Xiaoyao's head. Qingcheng picked up a pair of chestnut sheepskin boots and handed them to Mother Zhang. He said with a smile, "Master Wu has to wear a pair of thick boots today. If you go to the garden to enjoy the snow or something, you won't be frozen."

Li Xiaoyao packed up and stopped, and the wisteria burned a small red copper stove, put on an embroidered plum blossom cover, and handed it to Li Xiaoyao. Li Xiaoyao took it and held it in his arms. When it was time to enjoy it, whether Zhuang Zhou was a butterfly or Zhuang Zhou.

Li Xiaoyao got out of the second door and got into the car. At the gate of Liang Wangfu, Su Zicheng was already sitting in the car and waiting. Li Xiaoyao's car came and turned the horse's head directly without stopping, following Su Zicheng's car and galloping in the direction of Ningyuan Houfu. Li Xiaoyao raised the curtain and the car didn't run far. He saw a car decorated with Shuifu decoration follow up and fell behind his car.

Not long, the car gradually slowed down. Li Xiaoyao looked outside through the curtain. The roadside was full of cars. From time to time, well-dressed civil and military officials leaned aside, or slightly bowed slightly or looked directly at the vehicle passing by. Li Xiaoyao hurriedly put on his cloak and prepared to get out of the car, but although the car was slow, it kept moving forward. Moving, there was no car on both sides of the road. I saw the gate of Ningyuan Houfu. The car entered through the side door before stopping. The curtain was raised, and Nanning smiled and let Li Xiaoyao get out of the car.
