In the Tang Dynasty, the streets were horizontal from east to west, vertical from north to south, and the imperial palace and yamen were all sitting in the north and facing south, and the main gate was open to the horizontal street.

Chang'an has a total of fourteen east-west side streets.

There are palace city and imperial city in the city, the street facing the south of the palace is the main artery of the east and west, the east is to the Chunming Gate, the west is to the Jinguang Gate, so each takes a word, it is called Mingguang Street, and another saying is that the street name comes from the famous Mingguang armor in the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

There are 11 longitudinal streets in the north-south direction, in the middle is the longitudinal street of Mingde Gate through the Imperial City Suzaku Gate to the Miyagi Chengtian Gate, archaeology divides it into two sections, the outer city is called Suzaku Gate Street, and the Imperial City is called Chengtianmen Street.

Since the Sui Dynasty built Chang'an, this street has another official name, called "Jiankang Street".

Jiankang is the capital of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which represents the Sui Dynasty's inheritance of the Eastern Jin Dynasty Zhengshuo, and also represents the determination of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to unify the whole country.

The southern third of Chang'an City is rural, and there are villages in the city......

Perhaps that's how the name of the urban village came from?

At the next crossroads, the princess suddenly ordered to turn east, and she said to the hesitant palace people: "Shangzao and Xuansu, they will go to Shengpingfang, and we will make a little detour." ”

Shen Zhao and Liu Yanniang live in Shengpingfang, and they turn around from here and pass through a street.

They turned and traveled a kilometer, and the convoy came to a stop at the intersection.

Guo Hong and Yun Xuansu broke up with Princess Xunyang here, and Lu Zhizhen, Cao Shouzhen, He Qiong and others naturally said goodbye to the princess together.

Li Feizhen walked in the car and whispered to Guo Hong: "Child, you are strong in martial arts, I am not afraid of any danger, but I am afraid that you do not know how to measure, after all, this is Chang'an, the best place at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are many children of officials and eunuchs, if you follow your own temperament, I am afraid that you will cause a big disaster!" If you put up with it......"

"Okay, I remember, don't worry."

Guo Hong got out of the car and said to Yun Xuansu, Lu Zhizhen and others who came up:

"The princess just said that if you encounter something, hit it hard, run away after the fight, and don't get caught and affect others."

Everyone: "Good ......"

Li Feizhen: ???

This kid, I want you to be at peace......

After the two sides separated, Guo Hong and others entered Shengping Fang, Yun Xuansu led the way in front, and the Fang Ding who guarded the door greeted him when he saw it, and it seemed that they knew each other.

"Master has been here a few times, and he also helped when the Huayang Temple was holding a Dharma meeting next door, and everyone here knows him." The royal capital said to the red beans.

"Huayang Temple is in the Yongchongfang that I passed by just now, where there are two female crowns who have practiced in my Lingdu Temple for a period of time, and they are very good with me and Senior Sister Xie."

Yun Xuansu explained to Guo Hong and the others, and then continued: "Shen Zhao has now passed on to his uncle, renamed Yu Chengzhao, and his uncle also has a house here, so he lived in Yu Chengzhao and his wife. ”

"I know, Senior Sister mentioned it to Master last time in Hengshan." Lu Zhizhen nodded.

Passing by the medicine garden, Yun Xuansu said: "The south of the city was originally deserted, but since the reign of Xianzong Yuanhe, the well water in two-thirds of the Lifang in the north of Chang'an has become salty, in order to drink the sweet well water, many dignitaries and nobles have built houses near the Qujiang River in the southeast of the city, so it has gradually become lively, and the housing prices are almost the same as those near the East Market." ”

Guo Hong: It turned out to be a new urban area with one more ring than the Fourth Ring Road.

He also heard Yun Xuansu say that the parents of the little junior sister Yu Xuanji who knew that he was going to save were called Yu Chengzhao and Liu Yanniang.

The Yu family entered the third gate at the north gate of Shengping Fang, and the opposite door was the royal medicine garden.

Yun Xuansu asked Wang Du to go up and call the door, and it was Liu Yanniang who opened the door inside, she was stunned for a moment, and asked everyone to go in.

Guo Hong saw that Liu Yanniang was dressed in filial piety clothes, and knew that someone had just died in her family, and when she went in, she saw the mourning hall.

"My father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away half a month ago, and I have to trouble all the refiners to put on a stick of incense." Liu Yanniang went inside to take out her five-year-old daughter and accepted everyone's condolences as a family member.

They were not surprised, because Yun Xuansu said that it was precisely because the second elder was seriously ill that Yu Chengzhao and his wife could not leave Chang'an with their daughter to go to Hengshan.

"Please mourn by the way, the honorable husband is not in the house?" Lu Zhizhen asked politely after finishing the incense.

"A few days ago, my in-laws just went, and there were many people at home, and my husband was always there. All who should have come in the past two days had come, and he was asked by the monks of Qinglong Temple to renovate the murals. Liu Yanniang said.

The Xinchang Fang, where the Qinglong Temple is located, is at the gate of the city, and the Shengping Fang is diagonally opposite.

Now Shen Zhao ...... Yu Chengzhao's painting skills have become well-known in Chang'an, and some people praise him for having Wu Daozi's legacy. Yun Xuansu said to everyone.

She pointed to the five-year-old girl and said to Guo Hong: "This is my junior sister Yu Xuanji." ”

Guo Hong looked at the girl, only to see that she was wearing some wide plain clothes, there was a feeling of a child wearing adult clothes, her black and soft hair was curled into two little girls, her sideburns were wearing white flowers, and her cheeks were as white and tender as porcelain, and a pair of big eyes flashed on her cheeks, and her long eyelashes were slightly upturned, trembling and trembling, very cute.

Xiao Xuanji also kept staring at Guo Hong, and suddenly asked, "Senior brother with a flower face, Xuanji remembers you!" ”

Guo Hong felt a trace of liking in his heart for no reason, went up and took her hand, and said, "Have you seen me?" ”

Xiao Xuanji bit his finger and said, "I don't know, but I just remember ......"

He Qiong stood behind, in order to see this little rival, she didn't go back to Chang'an to see her mother.

Today, I just want to come over and see what Lu Zhizhen said about the person who is destined for Guo Hong is like!

Now that she saw such a cute little girl, she couldn't feel a trace of jealousy, so she naturally stepped forward and played with Guo Hong to play with Xiao Xuanji.

"Call me Senior Sister He, I'll go back and take you to buy something delicious!"

Xiao Xuanji nodded hurriedly, revealing a longing look: "...... Senior Sister He! ”

He Qiong saw the wrench hanging from Xiao Xuanji's neck and asked, "What is this?" ”

Liu Yanniang said: "When I passed by the Huayin Ancient Temple, an old refiner Li sent it. ”

Lu Zhizhen corrected: "That's Xuanyuan Ji, the head of the Luofu faction, not surnamed Li!" ”

"Several refiners in Tiantai Mountain never said what his name was, and there was a jade pendant with the word 'Li' engraved on it, so I always thought that his surname was Li."

Liu Yanniang suddenly remembered something, looked at Guo Hong's face and exclaimed: "You, you, are you the sick child back then?" ”

Lu Zhizhen said: "This is my junior brother Guo Shangzao, who was struck by lightning with Ling Ai, and the thunder lines on his face have not subsided.

"I remember, we also met back then, you are Lu Zhizhen, the eldest apprentice of Old Refiner Liu!" Liu Yanniang is only twenty-one years old this year and has a good memory.

Then she remembered Cao Shouzhen again, so she became more enthusiastic and hurriedly wanted to prepare the meal.

"No need Zhang Luo, we will go to Huayang to visit the two Taoist friends in a while, so we won't eat here." Yun Xuansu saw that there was a funeral in her family, and felt that it was inconvenient to disturb her, so she hurriedly said.

Liu Yanniang was a little anxious, she felt that she shouldn't let her benefactor go like this, and she complained a little in her heart that Shen Zhao hadn't come back.

Yun Xuansu said again: "How about we bring Senior Sister Xuanji over and send it back in the evening?" ”

Liu Yanniang nodded hurriedly when she heard this, and said: "There is nothing to prepare at home, I will go to Dongshi to buy vegetables, and my husband should come back in the afternoon, and you must eat here in the evening......

Lu Zhizhen also knew that he would not let the other party entertain him, so he was afraid that the woman would not be upset, so he agreed.

They came out with the fish mystery, and Guo Hong suddenly said: "This place is very close to Qinglong Temple, right?" ”

"It's only three miles away, and the junior brother wants to go over and have a look?" Yun Xuansu asked.

Guo Hong shook his head and said, "No need, someone is staring at it anyway, I mean if you can borrow it here, it may be more convenient when you make a move." ”

Yun Xuansu originally wanted everyone to live in her residence temporarily, which was the old mansion of Guangfufang left by the princess, which was inherited by her husband and king.

The old house of Guangfufang is on the side of Jiankang Street in the center of the city, and there are five squares away from Qinglong Temple, about eight miles (four kilometers), which is indeed a little farther.

It would be much more convenient if it was from Yan Niang, and Guo Hong lived near Xuanji, so it was also convenient to explore how to take out the Book of Heaven, although Yun Xuansu and her master Xie Wangji had some guesses, they hadn't actually done it, so they didn't know if the imaginary method would work.

"In that case, I'll ask the shopkeeper to see if anyone is renting a house nearby." Yun Xuansu said.

When they came to the door and asked, they learned that the biggest charter office here turned out to be Yu Chengzhao and Liu Yanniang, and the two of them had been left by their stepparents (uncles and aunts) and had several properties in this area.

"Okay, I'll ask back in the evening." Several people laughed.

Yun Xuansu led everyone to the Yongchong Fang next door, Huayang Guan opened the gate at the entrance of the Nanfang Gate, and opened the gate on the main road outside the Fang.

According to Chang'an's regulations, only the residences and temples of officials above the third rank can open gates on the wall on the side of the main road outside the Lifang.

Huayang view has a side door on the cross street in the square, enter the back house of the view, a total of seven courtyards, divided into one large and six small, the big one is the house of the master, the small one is the other female crown.

The price of goods in the capital is expensive, and generally Taoist temples will prepare a house for the Taoist female crown, which is also a kind of welfare.

Not all courtyards are inhabited, and some female crowns will buy private houses nearby, so the Taoist temple will rent out the vacant courtyards, such as this Huayang Temple, which rented a person named Bai Juyi many years ago.

When they came to a courtyard, Wang Dudu stepped forward again to call the door, and it was a servant girl who opened the door, and when she saw them, she shouted happily and shouted inside: "Refiner, the cloud refiner of Wangwu Mountain is here!" ”

The curtain in the house was lifted, and two female crowns came out, both of whom were in their thirties, with flowers and moon appearances, and they looked very similar, and they knew at a glance that they were a pair of sisters!

"I've seen two Senior Sister Song!" Yun Xuansu saluted.

The two female crowns on the opposite side stepped forward to return the salute and held her very enthusiastically.

"This is Senior Sister Song Huayang, and this is Senior Sister Song Yiyang." Yun Xuansu introduced to everyone.

Lu Zhizhen and others greeted each other, and Yun Xuansu introduced their names separately.

At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the room, looking a little old, and arched his hand to everyone: "Li Yishan has seen all the refiners. ”

This person is Li Shangyin, who is seven years old Chinese New Year's Eve today, but he has always been unwilling, and he seems to be much older than his actual age!

He now lives in Zhaoguofang, where his wife's maternal uncle, Li Shilang, has a house.

Zhaoguofang is just south of the Huayang view of Yongchongfang, the two face each other across the street, and then south is the Jinchang Fang where the Great Ci'en Temple is located, there is the famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda in later generations, and it is called the Great Ci'en Pagoda at this time.

Because the annual imperial examination will be posted under the Great Ci'en Pagoda, and this area is very close to the Qujiang Palace in the southeast corner of Chang'an, where the Qujiang banquet of the new Kejin Shi will be held in the first month, so most of the lifters will be borrowed in the southeast of Chang'an.

Li Shangyin is of course not a lifter, he was admitted to the Jinshi many years ago, and in the spring of this year, Jingzhao Yin Lu Hongzheng asked him to temporarily join the army on behalf of Fa Cao, and only from the seventh grade, he was in charge of the performance.

Guo Hong looked at this prince of Tang Dynasty love poems with a lot of emotions.

Yun Xuansu hurriedly returned the salute and said, "Yuxisheng's poetry is peerless, and we have admired it for a long time!" ”

Yuxisheng is Li Shangyin's number, he is as famous as Du Mu, and is collectively called "Little Li Du" by the people of the time.

Li Shangyin Kaicheng three years (838) married Wang Maoyuan's daughter, his father-in-law Wang Maoyuan said in the history books that it was Li Dang, but in fact, he was closer to Li Zongmin of the Niu Party and belonged to the genuine Niu Party!

And Li Shangyin was originally a disciple of the Niu Party boss Ling Hu Chu, but his poetry and literary talent was appreciated by Li Dang Zheng Ya (Zheng Yi Doctor), Niu Party Lu Hongzheng (Ministry of Works), Liu Zhongying (Jing Zhaoyin) and other bigwigs.

During the reign of Li Deyu, he was never promoted, and he was in the Ministry of Mystic Arts (responsible for checking for typos in books and documents).

A year later, Zheng Ya was demoted to follow the history of the state assassination, Li Shangyin lost his job and returned to Chang'an, bringing back a few new poems "Ma Wei", "Jia Sheng", "Yao Chi", a sentence "Don't ask the common people to ask the ghosts and gods" and "Eight horses travel 30,000 miles a day, why don't King Mu come again?" "Spread all over the world.

The experience of this staff ruined Li Shangyin's career, this nerd didn't expect that Tang Xuanzong himself would go into battle shirtless to destroy the Li Party, and thought that Feng Shui would take turns like before.

Linghu Chu's son Linghu is now a member of Zhongshushe, known as Linghu Zhongshu, originally very good with Li Shangyin, and there were still poems and texts in the Wuzong Huichang period, but because he was a staff member of Li Dang Zheng Ya, he cut off friendship and did not get along.

Li Shangyin wrote poems and letters to explain several times in the past two years, but the fox did not forgive him......

He Qiong's father, He Deng, and Li Shangyin were friends when they were young, and the two were often together in Chang'an.

She stepped forward and said, "Uncle Li, my niece is polite." ”

"It turned out to be the niece of the He family, and your father is back?"

"Never, I came to Chang'an with a few of my classmates, and my father still waited until August to come back."

They exchanged a few words, and Yun Xuansu said to Song Huayang: "Senior sister, I want to borrow a room for use." ”

"Come with me."

Yun Xuansu, Guo Hong, and Yu Xuanji followed Song Huayang to the courtyard next door.

"This Li Yishan still has no money to support you?" Yun Xuansu asked in a low voice.

Song Huayang's expression darkened, and he said: "It's not to blame him, the princess has been preaching in the palace that Yishan seduced my sister, and his name was written on the inner screen, and it hasn't been erased for many years, so no matter who is in power, he doesn't dare to be promoted...... He has also suffered all these years, he is lowly, and it is difficult to support his wife, where can he still take a concubine? ”

When the four of them entered, Guo Hong took Yu Xuanji and followed Yun Xuansu into a quiet room, and Song Huayang stayed outside.

This is where Song Huayang cultivates on weekdays, and now he lends it to them.

Guo Hong was a little excited when he saw Li Shangyin, and asked Yun Xuansu: "Why is Li Yishan here, it seems that he is very good with Senior Sister Song?" ”

While making tea, Yun Xuansu told Guo Hong about the old things about Li Shangyin and Song Huayang.

"Senior Brother Guo, do you know that there is a rule in my Wangwu Mountain Lingdu Temple, that is, I do not accept male believers (believers) to worship inside?"

Guo Hong was surprised when he heard this, and said, "There are still such rules? There are no women's crowns in the world like this! ”

Yun Xuansu replied: "Yes, the Lingdu Temple is a place in the whole world that only women can enter. This rule was set by the ancestor fifteen years ago, and it is related to the two senior sisters Song just now.

"The female Taoist temple in Chang'an accepts the tour of believers, and also rents the house to the scholars who are rushing to take the exam, why is the Lingdu Temple so closed? In fact, twelve years ago, Benkan was like other Taoist temples, but it was only because of an incident that the rules were changed.

"This matter is very famous in the local area, when the princess Yong'an came to my temple to enter the Tao, she had a pair of maids surnamed Song, and the scholars in the nearby Taoist temple and monks fell in love with each other, and it lasted for two years before the princess found out.

Liu Zunshi of the Taoist temple interceded for the scholar, although the princess spared the scholar, but she still returned to Chang'an with the maid and never came back. The scholar left a poem on the wall of the inner shadow wall. ”

She paused for a moment before she groaned again:

"It's hard to say goodbye when we meet, and the east wind is powerless.

The spring silkworm is dead to the end, and the wax torch turns to ash and tears begin to dry.

Xiaojing but the clouds and temples have changed, and the night chant should feel the cold moonlight.

There is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent to visit. ”

Guo Hong had a premonition, so he said: "The person who cheated with the princess's maid twelve years ago was Li Shangyin!" ”

"Yes, it was he who broke the rules, Princess Yong'an was very angry, and she never came to me again. The first teacher felt that because of the complicated personnel, they had been allowed to cover up for more than two years, so he ordered that male believers should not be received again. ”

Guo Hong didn't expect Li Shangyin, who is famous all over the world for his euphemistic poetic style, to have such a bold youthful love!

He married Wang Maoyuan's daughter eight years ago, so the love with the princess's maid is the first love!

Could it be that the most famous "Untitled" poems are actually love poems written for first love? No wonder it is vague and subtle, and it is difficult to understand, it turns out that this is a relationship that cannot be made public.

"Who is Princess Yong'an?" Guo Hong asked.

"It's the daughter of Xianzong, that is, the younger sister of today's son. Mu Zong was also the elder brother of Princess Yong'an, and he made the princess reconcile and marry the Uighur Baoyi Khan. However, soon after the marriage, Baoyi Khan died, and Princess Yongan did not go to become a Uighur. ”

Yun Xuansu took a sip of tea before continuing:

"After Mu Zong's death, his eldest son Jingzong succeeded to the throne, and two years later he was killed by a small eunuch, and then his second son Wenzong succeeded to the throne with the era name Taihe. Emperor Wenzong reigned for fifteen years, and was only thirty-one years old when he died, and his two sons died young, and he was succeeded by his fifth brother, the first emperor Huichang Tianzi.

"This princess Yong'an wanted to be a Taoist priest during the Taihe period of Wenzong, and the emperor issued an edict to give her the seal of the fiefdom, such as the old practice of Princess Xunyang, and gave her wedding property. By the way, her sister Princess Yongjia is He Qiong's mother. ”

Historical figures: Yu Xuanji, Li Shangyin, Song Huayang

In order to make it easier for readers to understand the geography of Chang'an, this book gives names to the streets of Chang'an City, and Chang'an in history should be the same, but those street names have been lost, leaving behind the streets named after the city gates by modern scholars.

Li Shangyin's story is researched, different from Baidu, and is not made up by the author.
