Scholars unparalleled

During the Chinese New Year? Naturally, it becomes more and more festive.

On the roads in the city, several layers of red paper are laid on the ground after the firecrackers are set off. Walking up is like walking on a red carpet.

In the workshop for making firecrackers and fireworks, the original inventory was sold out directly.

After the Spring Festival, the excitement has not gone down yet? The Lantern Festival is coming quietly again.

When it's the Lantern Festival? Some talented scholars and talented women have come to Xing Seoul City one after another.

Today's Star City has become the center of everyone, and such a major festival is even more lively in Star City.

Various festive lanterns have already been put on in the palace, and there are even more lanterns outside the palace.

Gu Zhifang seemed quite nervous on this day.

For everyone? Today is extremely happy? It is also very lively.

But for those of Jinyiwei, it was the most worrying day.

There are a huge number of these lanterns, and if one is not good enough to catch fire, it will be a big problem.

What if someone has a bad idea or something? He sneaks in to do something, and the good Lantern Festival turns into a sea of ​​flames? His dereliction of duty will never escape.

Moreover, since there is no curfew in the city? This is the Lantern Festival, which will last until dawn, which is even more troublesome.

It was originally a rotation system? But today everyone returned to their posts? In order to prevent shortage of manpower? Gu Zhifang also mobilized manpower from other places, including the manpower of the silent guard.

There are two people fixed on the water tower, ready to fight the fire at any time.

There are many good players on the city wall, all staring at the whole city with binoculars.

If a fire is found, the Jinyiwei in the city will be informed by beating a drum.

"There are too many lanterns!"

Gu Zhifang took people to inspect Xing Seoul City, and there was another person waiting beside the Holy One, so he could rest assured.

With his palm on the Xiuchun knife, he was wearing a flying fish suit and leading a few people through the crowd, full of mighty aura.

The people around are used to seeing it, and they don't feel anything, and even feel a little bit safe.

This Jin Yiwei is the most elite bodyguard of the dynasty, with them patrolling, basically there is no need to worry about any disasters.

As for the foreigners who stayed here, they looked at the Jinyiwei's heart terrified, and they subconsciously stayed away from it.

They were like this mainly because they had seen one of the compatriots who came here before because of a conflict with someone, and then he was taken down in two and a half times.

When it was taken down, the method seemed a bit brutal.

It was mainly because of the other party's misfortune, it happened to be a person from Jin Yiwei passing by, and after finding out that it was a foreigner, he hit harder.

At that time, a stone table was directly smashed into pieces.

This made them all tremble with fear after seeing these Jin Yiwei.

Afterwards, they also specially asked some people, only to know that everyone in Jinyiwei is a master, especially formidable.

In their opinion, this flying fish suit is definitely handsome, but the person wearing this suit looks like a devil, too violent!

"That's how it looks lively. Your Majesty and the others seem to like this kind of lantern."

Hearing Gu Zhifang's words, a Jinyi guard behind him immediately replied with a smile.

Gu Zhifang glanced left and right, and after confirming that there was no problem, he said, "It's nothing to like, but so many lanterns are too dangerous, you all pay close attention to me, even a little bit of fire can't make it go away. It burns!"

"Lord Captain, don't worry, I'll save it by waiting. Today is the Lantern Festival. Maybe the Holy Majesty will come out of the palace to appreciate the lanterns. If something unexpected happens, we Jinyiwei will all be punished together. .”

Nowadays, there is no one who can be a Jinyiwei who is a fool.

First of all, you need to be outstanding in martial arts, and you have to go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for training for a period of time. You must have certain knowledge about analyzing and solving cases, and then you have to go to the school to learn some knowledge.

Afterwards, there will be some training before he can become a Jinyiwei.

Rather than saying that you can pass the test after training, you also need to have such abilities.

It can be said that Jin Yiwei is not only good at martial arts, but also possesses knowledge in other aspects.

"It's good that you know."

Gu Zhifang nodded, and continued to patrol the streets with a group of Jinyiwei.

If it is found that some lanterns are not placed properly and there is a possibility of burning, they will also take action to correct them.

"The water towers in the city have released water these days, right?"

"All the water has been released. It is confirmed that all the water towers can produce water, and the water volume in the towers has been monitored. All are full and there is no sign of freezing."

"Have you greeted the people in the yamen? Is there a yamen on duty tonight?"

"I have already greeted them, even the soldiers of the city defense have also greeted them. Tonight, the number of soldiers on duty will double."

Gu Zhifang checked today's situation one by one, and Jin Yiwei who followed responded one by one, making sure that there were no omissions.

When a group of people passed by the canal, they heard bursts of singing from the painting boats, and there was the sound of reciting poems in the teahouse in the distance.

All kinds of voices seemed quite noisy.

"Send a few people to inspect the roof, don't step on the tiles."

Gu Zhifang rubbed his forehead, and said that there is no need to patrol the area on this side. It is better to go to the roof to be more efficient.

Fortunately, the members of Jinyiwei still have this right.

"Yes!"

After Gu Zhifang's words fell, several guards in Jinyi immediately turned over and climbed onto the roof, and swept towards the two sides lightly.

The process needs to be more careful, and also pay attention to the lantern.

Fortunately, all of their lightness skills are good, and it is extremely convenient to patrol.

But even with such inspections, there are still some places that cannot be visited, such as the roofs of some princes and ministers, or some special places.

It is not possible to patrol like this.

In the palace, Lu Chensheng looked at the scenery outside the palace.

The lights outside the city were brightly lit, and there was no place that was dark at first glance.

From time to time, fireworks are lifted into the sky, and then they bloom in bright colors.

"This year's Lantern Festival is so lively!"

"I heard that this year there will be ten newly promoted talents reciting poems and fighting against each other in the city. Many talented women have left after hearing the news, and it is even more lively."

Hearing these words, Lin Yu immediately pursed her lips and said with a smile.

"Top Ten Talents?"

Lu Chensheng frowned, and said a little strangely.

"That's right, don't you know, my husband, this is a new talented person after the founding of Xinghan dynasty, all talents are quite good, and I heard that they are also very handsome, and they are quite respected by those talented women."

Lu Chensheng nodded suddenly, "I didn't pay much attention to this matter, now I have these top ten talents."

"I heard that during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, they will meet for a competition. During the competition, they will imitate what you did, my husband."

Lin Yu seemed to know a lot about this matter, so he talked about it one by one.

Follow me?

Lu Chensheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard it, knowing that this was talking about what he did in front of the Zhaixing Tower.

"Or, when the time comes, my husband will also pretend to be a genius, go and have a look quietly, and then write a poem to suppress them all?"

Lin Yu said with a smirk, these top ten talents look good, but compared to her husband, they are still a little bit less interesting.

Especially the competition in front of the Star Picking Tower back then has been passed down to this day.

"Why does the lady have such an idea? If it gets out, people in the world will say that the husband is bullying the younger generation."

The idea of ​​slapping them in the face in disguise is probably only Lin Yu's idea.

"Isn't it possible for those talented scholars to feel the talent of your husband, and also let them experience the previous experience of Master Du and the others?"

Lin Yu pursed her lips and smiled.

Earlier, when she was chatting with Du Rufang's female relatives, she heard them talking about Du Rufang saying that after the competition with Lu Chensheng, she felt oppressive from Lu Chensheng all the year round, and that A feeling of domination.

Lin Yu felt that it would be too much fun if this year's talented scholars could also experience the domination from their husbands.

Lu Chensheng just waved his hands when he heard the words. He was not in the mood to do this, and there were a lot of things to do this year, so he really didn't have that much time to spare.

"My husband is too boring."

Seeing Lu Chensheng waving his hands, Lin Yu said boredly.

In fact, what she wants most is to read the poems written by her husband, but she hasn't seen him write poems for a long time.

"You are already a mother, and you still have such a child's heart?"

Lu Chensheng tapped Linyu's head, causing Linyu to complain for a while.

"Let's go, my husband will take you out of the palace to guess some lantern riddles."

Lu Chensheng stretched his waist and said to Linyu.

Qiongyue and the two girls had already changed their clothes at this time, and they walked out gracefully at this moment.

"I want a lantern myself!"

Bai Yi just came out, and when she heard Lu Chensheng's words, she immediately said something tenderly.

Lu Chensheng nodded with a smile, "Don't worry, guessing lantern riddles for your husband is still very good!"

After all, he took the three girls out together, only bringing a few guards by his side.

With Qiongyue around, basically nothing will happen. Anyway, those ministers don't know, so it's okay.

If the ministers called know, a burst of persuasion will be necessary.

All his wives wanted lanterns, so Lu Chensheng thought it was easy to guess the riddle.

He never expected that every one of the lantern riddles he saw when he came out this time made him dumbfounded.

These puzzles seem to be newly thought up, and it is completely impossible to understand the mind.

Fortunately, the anagrams are relatively simple, and Lu Chensheng only managed to guess a few lanterns, otherwise, he would be ashamed and lose a lot of money.

When I went out, I swore that it would be easy to guess a few lanterns.

What Lu Chensheng didn't expect was that there was a white paper hanging on the tallest lantern.

This is clearly the question he asked before.

After inquiring, the people on the side knew that it was precisely because this was a question he had asked, and it had already been solved after adding it, so it was just hung on it, as it was appropriate to the occasion, and it could be regarded as a respect for the current Holy One.

And this kind of question is not for people to guess, and the lantern will be hung for a few days.

Lu Chensheng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Judging from the situation, he still had a high reputation among the people, and even this Lantern Festival came up with such tricks.

He took Qiongyue and the girls to enjoy the lanterns, and then went to the river to look at the lotus lanterns. There were many vendors by the river. Lu Chensheng sniffed the fragrance, and did not shy away from taking the three girls to eat with relish.

Yiyi's two daughters were directly thrown in the palace, and it was very easy for the four of them to go out to play.

On the way, Jin Yiwei recognized Lu Chensheng, and wanted to call some people to guard him, but Lu Chensheng chased them away.

The four of them had a good time, and it would be uncomfortable to have more people around.

Everyone in Jin Yiwei felt helpless, but they had no choice but to turn around and leave to tell the captain about the matter, so that the other party would have a headache.

Chapter 8: Firearms

After the lively Lantern Festival passed, the people in Jinyiwei could finally breathe a sigh of relief and began to take down the lanterns one after another.

In the past few days of the Lantern Festival, nothing happened.

At night, a strong wind suddenly blew up, and several lanterns were directly blown down.

Because the candles inside the lantern were not fixed properly, the lantern burned directly.

Fortunately, it was discovered very early, and the source of the fire was quickly extinguished after the water tower was turned on.

This kind of thing happened several times in succession, but the nerves of everyone in Jin Yiwei were tense.

After the Lantern Festival passed, the lanterns began to be removed one after another, and the people in Jinyiwei breathed a sigh of relief.
