143 The Secret in Yangchun Lane
After two heavy defeats of the Turks, there was no more news, and three days later, the four gates of Luoyang City, southeast and northwest were opened, and the shops in the city were opened one after another, and the people outside the city also dragged their families back home.
Mu Fushu and San Lang stayed in the Wen Mansion, planning to wait for Chen Kun and the scouts sent to return before discussing whether to leave or stay.
The Turks didn't know whether it was a temporary retreat or a real big injury and rolled back to the grassland, although Mu Fushu and San Lang intended to pursue, but unfortunately the "explosive bag" was gone, and the arsenal in Shu was still continuing to make zuò, and Saburo rode Dapeng back to get a trip at night, and when he came back, he told Mu Fushu, and the Shu army was about to arrive in about two days.
At this time, the communication was very backward, the news of Luoyang City's victory had not yet been transmitted back to Shu, and the Shu army also rushed directly from Jiangning to Luoyang City, and did not go back, so Yang Weiai was the first to get the news, and finally put his mind at ease, and asked San Lang to return to Luoyang City after a few words.
Mu Fushu also has his own considerations. Now that they have revealed their intention to seize the throne, they don't know how the King of Shu will react. After all, he has done so much, and there is absolutely no reason to give up the throne that is about to be handed over.
Fourteen years ago, when the Wang family usurped the throne, the king of Shu was still the father of the current king of Shu, Yang Qian, that was useless, when he was still the emperor of mourning, his father gave him the land of Shu when he was in power, that is, he took a fancy to his honesty, even if he got this rich land, he would not have a heart of disobedience, but what he didn't expect was that his son was killed, and the Great Sui Dynasty also changed hands.
At that time, Yang Qian, who was still the son of the world, because of the ** love for Yang Wei, as well as the blood and pride of being a close branch of the Yang family, had been asking the old Shu king to send troops to help, but unfortunately he didn't dare to do anything else. beat up his son without mercy, if it weren't for this only one son-in-law, he would probably have the heart of the son of the world. So Yang Qian could only watch the country change hands, and her Royal Highness the eldest princess in her dream lover was nowhere to be found.
After the death of the old King of Shu, Yang Qian officially succeeded him as the King of Shu. He knew very well that the Wang father and son would not let him go. Externally, he "inherited" the weak and incompetent personality of the old Shu King, and shrunk in the palace all day long without going out, but secretly recruited troops and horses to train private soldiers, and later got the sweet potatoes planted by Mu Fushu during the famine. Just to have a bite to eat.
Relying on sweet potatoes, his soldiers were expanded to a small 80,000, but unfortunately only 50,000 could really be used, and the other small and old people were just mixed in to fill their stomachs, and he also wanted to be a "Maven". Of course, some people have to accept it, but fortunately, with the soldiers brought by the King of Han, they barely claimed to be 100,000 troops, and they attacked outside Jiangning City in one go, but they couldn't get in with a kick at the door. At the critical juncture, there were Turks who were in turmoil, in order not to be scolded by the people, and the staff also advised him to go outside first and then settle inside, so he decisively ordered to rush to the aid of Henan Province.
This is the most heart-wrenching decision that the King of Shu has made in his life. Because of this, he missed the throne. Although he has been comforting himself in the following decades that it is his son who sits on the throne, it is a pity that his heart still aches every time he thinks about it...... There was a dragon chair in front of him. It's a pity that he was afraid that his butt would hurt, so he didn't sit on it for a while, who knew that he would miss the throne......
And Luoyang City has weapons here, and there will be reinforcements soon, Mu Fushu and San Lang are completely relieved. In the morning and evening, when the sun is not hot, I went out to visit Luoyang City, and tomorrow I decided to go to the "Peony Garden" that San Lang had been curious about.
Although the Tang Dynasty was butterflyed. Some folk habits and hobbies have continued, such as Luoyang people like peonies. For example, there is a "Peony Garden" in the south of the city.
The "Peony Garden" still belongs to the national park in the Great Sui Dynasty and is the private garden of the Sui Dynasty royal family. However, in April and May every year, the peony blooms for nine days for ordinary people to enjoy. During these nine days, there will be a grand flower appraisal meeting, where families can bring their own superb peonies to participate in the competition, and the winners can receive the title of the king of peonies and a large silver prize.
It's a pity that since the fall of the Great Sui, the yard has been closed, and the peonies that were originally planted in the garden have been taken care of by fewer people, and they have gradually become barren.
Mu Fushu doesn't like peonies. She thinks that the peony is too gaudy and too rough, just like a straw bag beauty, beautiful in appearance, but unfortunately has no connotation. The flowers with the big mouth of the bowl are opened at every turn, and they are not subtle at all.
When this point of view was debated with San Lang, San Lang was refuted by her and had no power to fight back, and finally could only ask Mu Fushu what flowers he liked, Mu Fushu thought for a while and said: "Osmanthus, plum blossoms, narcissus, lilies, ......"
San Lang suddenly realized: "Great goodness! Auntie likes these elegant and breezy flowers, which really fit your heart......"
Mu Fushu: Foggy ...... The Lun family just likes the fragrance of those flowers, and gardenias, white orchids, and jasmine didn't say anything......
Mu Fushu was not interested in the Peony Garden, but San Lang was very interested, because his legendary and unparalleled mother met the King of Shu in the Peony Garden.
These things were all told by Yang Weiai and Yang Weng, and Mu Fushu didn't know about it.
On the day that the Shu army might arrive in Luoyang City, San Lang took Mu Fushu to the Peony Garden.
In fact, this does not rule out the meaning that San Lang saw Jing Siren thinking of his miserable life experience and was unwilling to see the King of Shu.
Mu Fushu didn't know that San Lang was in a bad mood, and he was full of food and drink early in the morning, and he was dressed up and followed San Lang out of Wenfu. Last night, San Lang told her that he was going to the Peony Garden, and the two of them debated about what flowers they liked for half the night, and finally Mu Fushu saw that San Lang had followed him for the first two days, and decided to be kind to San Lang and accompany him to the Peony Garden that he had in mind.
Although Mu Fushu has been complaining in his heart about how motherly it is for a big man's family to like peonies, it is still good to have an excuse to go out and not need to face the three curious babies of the Wen family, at least the roots of the ears can be clean.
In the past two days, the three people who have lost interest in the "magic art" of ice making are pestering San Lang and Mu Fushu to teach them a new "spell".
In the past few days, most of the shops on the street have opened, most of them are daily necessities or embroidered cloth villages, and the grain shops and food shops are closed because they are out of stock.
When San Lang returned to Shu, he had already ordered his family's caravan to bring a large amount of grain to Henan Province, but there were more people and horses, and it would take seven or eight days to hurry up, and the city should still be able to support it until that time.
Wen Lao Langjun learned that there would be food to Luoyang City in seven days, so he happily asked people to post notices inside and outside the city, and he didn't doubt San Lang's intention at all.
The people of this era are simple and believe everything! Mu Fushu thought so.
She forgot that she and Saburo appeared in a way that was almost half-immortal, not to mention carrying two auspicious white tigers with her.
In the past few days, the wind and thunder followed them out during the day, and they also followed into the space at night.
The wind and thunder are about to be more famous than San Lang and Mu Fushu, and those who have never seen the two of them only need to see two white tigers, and they will know that these two outstanding men and women are the prince and the county lord, the fairy couple, so they bowed along the way, and the two of them were at a loss from the beginning to the current calmness, and today they can wave their hands very calmly to signal them to get up and do not have to worship again.
The location of the Peony Garden is in the south of the city, about two kilometers from Wenfu. The two decided to walk over, there were not many people on the street early in the morning, and the air was refreshing.
Anyway, although it was hot, the air was fresh, and Mu Fushu had never smelled such fresh air in his previous life.
The two of them held hands and said as they walked, and the wind and thunder twisted their butts and chased after them, thinking that this time they came out was really interesting, and those people knelt down when they saw them, they really deserved to be the sons of the king of beasts!
If Mu Fushu heard their thoughts, he would definitely sneer: Tiger dummies are mighty......
When you are about to arrive at the Peony Garden, you have to pass through a long alley, and the name of this alley is Yangchun Lane.
The alley is not wide, it can only accommodate three people side by side, and the strange thing is that there are two gates open on the wall in the alley, which makes Mu Fushu feel very strange.
At this time, only the poor would open the door in the cramped alley, but those were all single doors, there would not be two gates, and the houses in the walls of this alley still looked good, the walls were very high, and through the flower windows on the walls, you could vaguely see the small buildings inside. Of course, there are small buildings that are rich, and the doors of the rich should be open on the street, if it is said that the alley is a side door, it is impossible to say, who has two side doors......
Mu Fushu felt that his brain was not enough, so he pulled San Lang and said, "Who lives on both sides of this alley?" ”
San Lang was a little embarrassed: "Hmm...... This ......"
Mu Fushu saw that he was uncomfortable, and then thought back to the Yangchun Lane he had just seen, and looked at the mottled water-red gates, and couldn't help blurting out: "Is it a brothel?" ”
San Lang was slightly stunned, breathed a long sigh of relief, and his expression relaxed: "Yes, this Yangchun Lane is where the brothel in Luoyang City is located, and my mother was listed here back then." ”
Mu Fushu's eyes widened: her mother-in-law, as a famous flower in the wine country, stepped on the peak of her life here...... Well, being favored by the two sons of the world can be regarded as stepping on the pinnacle of life, right?
San Lang led Mu Fushu and walked slowly through this long alley. Yangchun Lane has declined, and most of the brothels are closed. I can't even eat these days, so how can anyone come out to have fun? Those high-ranking families all have dancing girls, but they are actually family tricks, where do they need to come out to recruit prostitutes?
Passing by more than a dozen brothels in silence along the way, Saburo stopped in front of a gate with a lantern with the words "Incense Under the Moon", looked up at the broken faded lantern, and whispered, "This is it." ”
"Squeak", two doors that had been unpainted opened, and out of it came a woman wearing a gray linen blouse and gray trousers, a headscarf and carrying a vegetable basket. She seemed startled when she saw someone in front of the door, so she looked up and said, "Slave is no longer doing business here......"
The moment they looked up, Mu Fushu and San Lang saw the woman's face, and couldn't help but be shocked, San Lang even pulled Mu Fushu back again and again, until he hit the wall behind him! (To be continued) R655
