Chapter 78: Why did Qin Shihuang squeeze the orchid finger?
Zhongqiu was also a very important festival in the Qin Dynasty.
Before, Fusu's purpose of returning to Xianyang was also good at saying that Fusu performed well, so he could come back to reunite in mid-autumn.
However, as the emperor, Zhongqiuye naturally had to have a good exchange of feelings with all the civil and military officials of the court.
On this day, Xianyang Palace became busy with the banquet, and the dishes were very different from usual.
Especially on each table, there is a plate of mooncakes, which is a fresh thing that only exists this year.
"This is sure that your Majesty's desk is placed like this?"
While setting up a banquet venue, an eunuch asked the general manager beside him with some fear.
"This is what Mr. Fusu ordered. Even if His Majesty is angry, Mr. Fusu is still afraid of?"
The manager who was asked looked a little nervous, but when he thought that this was explained by Mr. Fusu himself, he felt a little confident.
"Since that's the case, there's nothing to be afraid of!" The eunuch who arranged the arrangement was determined.
Not to mention the fame of Mr. Fusu, just because His Majesty has been chasing Mr. Fusu every day, but Mr. Fusu has been living a good life every day. These people in the palace understand that Mr. Fusu's Holy Family is now Zhenglong, and he is comparable to Mr. Hu Hai!
In the palace, the banquet was already being arranged, and on the other side, Fusu was also preparing.
With previous experience, it is not difficult for Lao Zhao to make harder paper behind him.
After the paper was made, the words printed in movable type were also made with the busyness of hundreds of craftsmen.
Then, Fusu first printed a volume of Journey to the West, probably when the section when Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, he stopped.
Unlike the writing style of the Qin Dynasty, Fusu was printed completely in the vernacular style of later generations.
So, in this first volume, there are quite a few words.
After printing, it was bound with thread. Fusu held this book of Journey to the West in his arms. Seeing that the sky gradually darkened, Fusu spoke to Lao Zhao and the others for a holiday, resting and reunion, and then walked towards the banquet.
"Young Master..." Yaoguang came forward outside the banquet hall.
"The fireworks are ready?" Fusu asked.
"Everything is ready!" Yao Guang nodded carefully.
"That's good!" After looking at it, Fusu nodded.
On this holiday, don’t set off some fireworks to celebrate? This is soulless!
"Young Master, what is this?" At this time, the left prime minister Li Si walked over and looked at the fireworks visiting curiously.
"Fireworks are for festive purposes!" Fusu replied.
"Oh? Is this the legendary fireworks? I heard that it was released when the Yumenguan Chamber of Commerce opened. It was beautiful!" Li Si showed an interesting look.
"There are more improved now, and the night will be more beautiful!" Fusu replied with a smile.
"The old minister will wait and see!" Li Si said with a smile.
After Li Si entered the palace, Wang Wan, Feng Jie, Feng Quji, General Zhang Han, Wang Ben and other famous figures in the Qin Dynasty also greeted Fusu one by one, and Fusu also responded to these famous figures in history one by one.
However, after these ministers entered the seat, they looked at Qin Dada's seat, and many of them looked strange.
As the sound of bells and chimes rang, Qin Dada, who was the finale, came late and sat down in his seat.
After looking at the things in front of him, Qin Dada's face immediately turned dark.
A glass of wine, a few slices of meat, a small moon cake, and a bowl of soy milk, but there were a lot of melons and fruits.
Look at the tables of other civil servants and military officials, there are a large piece of roasted lamb legs, two or three dishes of side dishes, and a bottle of nectar and jade liquid on each table, and a stack of five or six mooncakes.
Compared with the things placed on the desks of other ministers, what they faced was more than shabby?
Well, there is no need to ask, Da Qin glared at Fusu in anger.
"Father!"
Qin Dada stared at him, and before he could speak, Fusu spoke first, saying, "Today is the Zhongqiu Festival. My son specially equipped fireworks to show the prosperity of our Great Qin. I would like to ask my father and you to appreciate it outside the hall!"
fireworks?
Qin Dada also heard of this name, but never saw it. Fusu's words aroused Qin Dada's curiosity, so he nodded naturally and led all the civil servants and military generals out of the hall.
Yaoguang waiting outside the hall was signaled by Fusu and began to light fireworks.
Everyone stretched their necks and looked curiously.
Swish! As the first firework rushed straight to the sky, then exploded in mid-air, the flames of various colors ignited the sky instantly!
In an uproar, all the civil officials and military generals, the eunuchs, palace maids, guards, and even the Guizhou heads in Xianyang City were all attracted by the fireworks and looked up at the night sky one by one!
Fireworks exploded in the air, extremely gorgeous, and it simply surpassed the bright moonlight!
All the dozen barrels of fireworks that had been prepared were released, until the end of the fireworks exploded in the air with a big "Qin" character and ended.
For a moment, countless people knelt down and shouted in their mouths that Daqinian was the Wannian of Daqin.
"Hahaha, okay!" Looking at the extremely gorgeous fireworks and looking at the scene again, Qin Shihuang laughed loudly, and felt much more happy in his heart.
Listening to Qin Da Da’s hearty laughter, Meng Yi’s expression moved slightly. A few days ago, His Majesty’s face was always bad and his face was pale, giving people a feeling of insufficient energy. Now, it seems that his spirit is better than before?
Not only Meng Yi had this feeling, but many ministers also noticed it.
Of course, no one asked this question.
After a fireworks feast, Qin Da led all the civil servants and military generals back to the banquet.
"Father!"
After everyone sat down, Fusu spoke again, holding Journey to the West in both hands: "This is the "Journey to the West" written by a son-in-law. Today, the first volume was produced and sent to the father!"
"What is that? Book?"
"Why is the book like this? A thin one?"
"What material is that book? It doesn't look like silk!"
At the banquet, when many ministers were surprised to see Fusu's Journey to the West.
Especially the civil officials stretched their necks to look at the booklet in Fusu's hand. The thin volume of "Journey to the West" is naturally different from the bamboo slips that everyone remembers.
"Journey to the West? Take it up quickly!" Qin Dada's eyes lit up when he heard this.
After Zhao Gao brought it over, Qin Da frowned.
This Journey to the West seems to be written on paper?
With a preconceived concept, Qin Dada felt a little resistant when he thought that paper was used to wipe his butt.
But how can I let go of the physical version of Journey to the West in front of me?
Qin Dada endured the discomfort and carefully pinched the corner of the book with two fingers and opened it.
"This orchid finger is really charming..." Seeing Qin Dada's actions, Fusu's mouth twitched slightly.
The emperor of the ages, Qin Shihuang, who swept across the Liuhe River, was flipping through books with an orchid finger?
This scene is so hard to bear to look at...
After flipping around a few times, he turned to the end and saw that it was written that Sun Wukong was pressed into Wu Finger Mountain. Qin Dada let go and was not very interested.
"Your Majesty, can you show me?" Li Si next to him said, seeing Qin finished reading and asked.
"Send it to Zuo Xiang!" Qin Dada was still very kind.
Holding the world's first paper book with both hands, Li Si opened it and looked at the page as thin as a cicada's wings, which could record hundreds of words.
This made Li Si feel shocked. This is an epoch-making treasure!
He held the book like a pilgrimage and placed it on the tip of his nose to sniff it. The unique smell of paper mixed with the fragrance of ink, which made Li Si intoxicated.
Chapter completed!
