0258 Qujiang Event

At dawn, the drums sounded in the middle of the street. As soon as he heard the drum tune syllables, Li Tong couldn't help but be happy, it was actually the rhythm of his old tune "The Easy King", which was really suitable for the occasion.

It can be seen that although Wu Youyi is fierce in holding money, he is not just taking money and not doing things, and the atmosphere that should be done is still prestigious.

With the sound of drums, the atmosphere in the middle hall of the palace suddenly became hot, and there was no shortage of people singing loudly, either the king of leisure, or the young man, and there was a joy of dancing demons.

Wu Youyi was anxious to tell his family to stock up on hemp, and he didn't plan to attend on the first day, so he got up and said goodbye when he heard the sound of street drums, and before leaving, he didn't forget to tell Shaowang not to leak the news in advance, leaving him a little time to gather goods.

When Li Tong heard Wu Youyi's advice, he was really powerless to complain, so he just nodded in response. Anyway, this elegant gathering will not end in a short time, as short as five or six days, as long as ten days, in addition to the people of Xijing who have accumulated too much enthusiasm to vent, his team also needs a certain amount of running-in, and the horses have only been gathered for a short time.

After Wu Youyi left, Li Tong returned to the middle hall, and at this time, the guests in the middle hall were ready to travel, one by one, like a high-spirited little rooster.

"Does San Lang look at my posture?"

Li Shouli was wearing a purple Shu brocade lapel narrow robe, straddling the longing Hua Cheng horse, and rode directly to the front of the middle hall, looking proud.

There is no need for Li Tong to answer, the young men of Kyoto have an extraordinary enthusiasm for famous horses, and they have already applauded and applauded when they saw such a horse with a divine posture coming out of the brocade.

Princess Taiping's family wealth does not need to be said, and naturally she will not treat her son badly, Xue Chongxun's mount is not much better than the pear blossom in Li Tong's stable, and it is more than enough to blow up the street.

At this time, the sound of singing and music sounded outside the door of the royal mansion, and there were servants who came to report that it was Pingkangfang, and the people were singing in front of the mansion to invite the young king and others to travel to Qujiang.

Hearing the sound of those singing, the noble children who had gathered in the palace since last night were naturally excited, and without waiting for the young king, they had already swarmed out of the gate of the palace.

At this time, the street in front of the Wang's Mansion was also a lively scene, and the people of Pingkangfang were also very thoughtful, selecting forty or fifty fifteen or sixteen-year-old young young dancers, singing and dancing in front of the house, and frequently singing the old tunes of the young king to attract nobles to travel together.

Such a scene is not ordinary, and when the young people who rushed out of the palace saw this scene, there were many people who couldn't hold it anymore and rushed into the dance formation to sing together. The music girl is young and beautiful, the youth is unrestrained and enthusiastic, and the gorgeous clothes are colorful, which is really beautiful.

has not yet left the house, the atmosphere is already so warm, and Li Tong is naturally looking forward to the next trip to Qujiang. However, it was already so noisy in front of the house that it was not good to go out with the family, and after a little discussion, it was decided to let the eldest brother Li Guangshun stay at home to escort the family, and he and Li Shouli led the crowd first.

Xue Chongxun even gave Li Shouli a horse to blow up the street, and when he saw the opportunity, he wanted to drill in the back hall, but Li Tong signaled Yang Siqiao to pull people back, pull out a horse to stand up, and go out with him. He still has to rely on this kid to give himself a strong momentum, how can he let him pick up girls.

Xijing Xungui and Shendu are half of the royal mansions, and when they go out together, the momentum is really huge. Two or three hundred people of fresh clothes and angry horses marched out of Fang Street and went straight to the south of the Qujiang River.

At this time, the street is also full of people, especially near Pingkangfang, there are many people or take the open car, or walk slowly, so that the whole street is fragrant and windy, the sound of warblers and swallows, singing and laughing constantly.

Li Tong rode his horse slowly in the crowd, watching this lively scene, he couldn't help but be curious, this year's Dragon Boat Festival is still a forced assembly, the scene has been so jubilant, as for other traditional festivals, such as the Shangyuan Festival of Shishu Xianqing, what kind of lively scene will it be?

It's also a pity to say that Li Tong has been in this world for more than a few years, and he really hasn't seen the Shangyuan Festival and the scenery of the two capitals when the curfew is completely removed. In the first year, he was detained in the Great Inner Palace, so naturally he didn't have this opportunity, and then he tossed around in the Shendu for more than half a year, and then he went to the Qianling Tomb to mourn and guard filial piety, so naturally there was no such opportunity.

Thinking of this, Li Tong couldn't help but feel a little regretful, he had countless famous poems related to the Shangyuan Festival in his mind, but he didn't have the opportunity to show them.

On the way, there are also from time to time to stop on the left side of the Ping Kang Road, and ask the young king before entering to have a new word, with a look of antiquation.

Li Tong can only smile apologetically, after he entered Xijing, he had a lot of affairs, but he didn't have the time and energy to engage in copying activities. Only two lyrics of Liu Yong's tunes were copied, and they were still composed by Ping Kangfang's vocal play.

When the sun is on three poles, the crowd arrives near Jinchangfang in the south of the city, where there are many pedestrians, the carriages and horses are continuous, the crowd moves forward slowly, and it is more difficult to ride the horses slowly. At this speed, you won't be able to reach Qujiang Pond in the evening.

When they arrived here, everyone simply turned into Jinchangfang and boarded the boat from here for a parade. However, after all, there are only a few boats that can carry them, and it is somewhat difficult to accommodate the accompanying slaves and mounts.

However, after entering the workshop, I found that some monks of Ci'en Temple had already cleaned up some courtyards and theaters and used them as temporary guest houses and stables, and the business was naturally very good.

Li Tong boarded the boat in Jinchangfang, naturally it was the cruise boat that Yang Li had already prepared, and the cruise boat could not accommodate too many people, only a dozen people around him could board the boat. However, the other fellow travelers were not left out in the cold, and there were other cruise ships waiting to be carried. Although you can't travel in the same boat with the king, it's still much better than the crowded streets.

The street is congested, but the dock is not so crowded. This is because Wu Youyi has a way to make money, and the waterways in the city were cleaned up a few days ago, and all the idle boats and boats were cleaned out of the city.

It is said that for this alone, Wu Youyi collected thousands of dollars. After all, no one has self is face, and the current Xijing is full of nobles, since they are having fun, of course, they will not be stingy with money and goods.

Once you board the boat, the scenery is different. Chang'an is not as rich as Luoyang, the capital of the gods, and the nature that can live by the canal is mostly a noble garden. In addition, some families even build a stage directly in the garden industry, and enjoy the fun by the water, which is full of leisure.

In addition, there are some small markets near the water, selling seasonal melons and fruits or rare treasures from distant domains. More exaggerated and even some people directly near the lake to set up a barbecue stall, charcoal smoke billowing, although there is some bad scenery, but those barbecue good meat is fragrant, it is really coveted.

In a trance, Li Tong seemed to have returned to the attractions of the later generations. Where there is a scenic spot, there must be a scenic street, there must be a barbecue, and the ancient and modern can be connected, which shows that this endowment is also deeply imprinted in the bones.

Although all kinds of drinks and meals on the boat were well prepared, but after seeing this scene, Li Tong couldn't help but order someone to come to the shore and buy a roast deer, the price was naturally amazing, a roast deer of dozens of catties was as high as a dozen yuan, tens of thousands of dollars!

In addition to taking the initiative to help carry the food up, they also presented a bloody deer skin, and at the same time said with a serious face: "I would like to inform you that these food materials are not privately slaughtered, but unfortunately bitten to death by jackals in the wild. ”

In May, the imperial court forbade the slaughter of livestock and the capture of fish and shrimp, and this order was naturally transmitted to Xijing at the fastest speed. However, in order to make the May Yaji, Xijing merchants prepared more food materials, and some of them had been slaughtered and were ready to be sold.

But there are policies and countermeasures, since slaughter and arrest are not allowed, then it doesn't matter if you die accidentally, right?

There is also an interesting story in this, that is, Prime Minister Lou Shide visited Shaanzhou when he was a doctor of Su Zheng, and the chef sent mutton and said that it was bitten to death by a jackal, and then served the fish and said that it was bitten to death by a jackal, so angry that Lou Shide scolded: Idiot, it should be said that he was bitten to death by an otter!

Although it is only an anecdote, it also shows that the frequent bans on slaughter in the Wu Zhou Dynasty are really inconvenient to the people.

The ban on slaughter is not only the characteristics of Wu Zhou, the past dynasties, especially the Northern Wei Dynasty, there are frequent bans on slaughter and hunting, and the religious reasons for the prosperity of Shamen are only a point, and the main meaning is that there are frequent wars for many years, and the folk animal power is urgent, like the Wude and Zhenguan periods, there are bans on slaughter.

However, the widest range and the longest time are naturally still in the Wu Zhou period, and the ban on slaughter for the whole month and season has exceeded the normal scale, Wu Zetian has a number "Ci's Yuegu", which is indeed Ci and cattle, sheep, fish and shrimp, but it is too harsh on people.

Of course, this ban on slaughter was called for soon after it was promulgated, and in the end, it was just over. But now that it has been newly promulgated, it must still have a certain degree of execution.

Wu Sansi sent cool officials to Xijing to target the young king, and it was possible to start from this aspect, and Li Tong also hoped that Wu Youyi could cover it.

But even if you can't cover it, it's not a big deal, the so-called donation of hemp and Shishu Xianzhu, this time he is going to pull the entire Guanzhong Shimin to lick his grandmother together, and the general political direction is absolutely correct. If that Huo Xianke is really not interesting, and reports the treacherous people of Xijing and openly disobeys the ban on slaughter, it will be a lot of fun.

The boat drove slowly, and soon arrived at Quchifang, where the famous gardens gathered, and there were many people, and even the boats on the canal waterway were connected to the oars, and it was not easy to move forward.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong was naturally happy in his heart, the higher his popularity, the more conducive it was to the implementation of his follow-up plan.

Even if there is any chaos, he is not afraid at all, first, his intentions are good and politically correct, and second, he is an outsider, even if there is any chaos, Wu Youyi, the Xijing stayer, is the first person responsible.
