Pei Guo and Yuwentai went out of Shouqiuli, along the South Royal Road from west to east, Fanzhi Li, Lejin Li, Tuning Li... All the way you can see, the lights are bright and the crowds are surging.

It is said that the eyes are full of lights and fireworks, and they are colorful; Four by the tower incense car, tourists greedy for joy. And the whirling dancers, the ghosts, the spitts... The east is a cluster, and the west is a cluster, which is dizzying. Further down the streets and alleys, there are dense wine stalls and restaurants, and amorous men and women peek at each other, pretty, and shy.

Yu Wentai was amazed again, and he was even more thoughtful: "This situation and this scene have dazzled me, and I can't distinguish the real illusion." I really don't know what the situation should be like when Luoyang City was in its heyday in the past? ”

Pei Guo naturally had never seen such a grand scene, and said with a wry smile: "I can't imagine it." However, I heard that in the past, during the Shangyuan Festival, when the market was prosperous, the Luoyang Palace would set up a lotus lantern tower, which was higher than the heavy building. When the lamp is lit, it reflects each other with the tower of Yongning Temple, and the city is full of brilliance, as if it has arrived at the Buddha country of the heavenly court. ”

Yuwentai "tsk", and suddenly said "huh": "Anyway, there is no lampstand in Luoyang Palace, why is the street so lively?" Just looking at these lampstand floats, it costs a lot of money. ”

On Pei Guo's face, the smile was stiff: "As soon as you come, the Shangyuan Festival, no matter how difficult it is, you have to make it hot, right?" The people in Luoyang City, after all, are different from other places; Two comes... Hehe, there are not many princes and nobles in this city, and there are many wealthy families, that is, at this moment, the work he is waiting for is not worse than in the past. To put it mildly, it's not the same as a dog and horse, and extravagant. ”

"That's weird." Yu Wentai showed a look of surprise on his face: "The court is short of money, and since these princes and tycoons are rich, why don't they see him donating money and raising money to share worries for the country?" ”

Pei Guo sneered: "In other words, you have been rich and noble in Luoyang City for several generations, and you have always lived such a comfortable life, you... Are you willing to do it? ”

Yuwentai pondered for a long time, and finally sighed and said, "Unless, unless... ”

"Unless you're Yuan Ziyu yourself, right?" Pei Guo laughed.

Yuwentai glared at Pei Guo heavily: "Guozi, Hugh is talking nonsense!" He coughed lightly and changed the subject: "What is this Jingle Temple?" Today's secret businessman, how did he choose a Buddhist temple? "It turns out that the place where the tripartite meeting set by Yuan Xiu today is Jingle Temple at the east end of Yongning Temple.

"Buddhist temple, Buddhist temple." Pei Guo muttered twice, and a sneer came out: "I can't say it well, I'll know when I go." In fact, what I thought in my heart was actually when I followed Chen Qingzhi to enjoy Luoyang City, Yuan Yu's explanation: "Jingle Temple was originally a nun temple, but the temple has a permanent female music to entertain people, the singing is around the beam, the dancing sleeves are slowly turning, the silk pipe is few and bright, and it is harmonious. and strange birds and monsters, dancing in the palace; Flying in the air, the world has never seen; Heretical thaumaturgy, in its entirety ... ”

。。。。。。

Only because the market is crowded, this section of the road is really a little long, after the Ximing Gate turns north, to Yongning Temple, it is already more than half an hour past.

There are few dwellings in the inner city, this year the royal family does not burn the lamp, but it seems to be dim than the outer city, only the Yongning Temple tower in front of you is extremely bright, and it is impressive. Pei Guo had the intention to take Yuwentai into the temple to have a look, but Yongning Temple forbade the people to enter, and only allowed the powerful to enter and exit, Pei Guo was too lazy to talk to the gatekeeper, so he had to give up.

Yuwentai also said: "That's it, the three kings of Mojiao are waiting for each other." Pei Guo nodded: "That's right, there are many people here, so it's better not to have extraneous branches." It led Yuwentai around Yongning Temple to the east, and soon arrived in front of Jingle Temple.

Fang is called the lights of the Yongning Temple Tower blinded his eyes, at this moment his back to the Yongning Temple Tower, is seeing the full moon in the sky is very bright. Under the moonlight, Jingle Temple is as light as before, Yuwentai couldn't help but "ah" and said: "This temple is plain and elegant, very good!" ”

Pei Guo couldn't help but smile in his heart, uh-huh, he didn't explain.

In front of the temple gate, there were already Yuan Xiu servants waiting, seeing that it was Pei Guo who brought people to come, he thought that the main owner had arrived, and hurriedly greeted him: "Pei Shucheng and distinguished guests, please come in!" ”

Pei Guo asked, "Everyone else has arrived?" ”

"All the princes are here. The envoy of Hebei has arrived and is watching the dance in the hall. ”

Pei Guo said "um", took a step towards the temple gate, but Yu Wentai was wondering: Watching the dance? Why are you watching the dance in the temple?

Pei Guo saw the doubts in the black otter's heart, and couldn't help laughing, and immediately explained in a few words what this Jingle Temple was, and Yu Wentai was dumbfounded, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a while, and said: "Luoyang people, they can play." ”

Entering the temple, the eyes are all seen in the plain wall of the low building, but it is the general style seen outside, which can be called elegant, but really into the inner hall, it will meet the infinite extravagance, rushing to the face!

The lights of the hall are like day, shining on the four walls of gold, although the wall is not actually decorated with gold powder, but the murals are gorgeous, layered vividly; The ground is paved with white jade, smooth and like ice, supplemented by pure white blankets, which greatly increases and warms; The red silk on the roof hangs down, and the sandalwood in the house is beautiful, which teaches people to be dizzy and fascinated first.

There are a few low couches in the hall, the three kings, the two Yangs, Gao Gao, and even the Hebei envoys Mo Duolou and Xue Guyan, sitting or leaning, thinking that they have drunk a lot, all of them are smiling and enjoying themselves. When Pei Guo and Yu Wentai came in, everyone in the hall didn't greet them for a while, and their eyes were all on the hall.

It turned out that the song "Turtle Music" was just wonderful--- the sound of pipa was urging, and seven or eight gorgeous orchids with their navels exposed were as charming as silk, spinning like willows, and between their waists and hips, there were only four words: vivid color.

Although Pei Guo knew the reputation of Jingle Temple, he had never entered this temple before, and after a little look at it today, he was already dizzy, his throat was tight, and he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

In contrast, Yuwentai is a little "better", his expression is calm, and there is no abnormality. Maybe he was born with a black face, and he has been like this all year round, and others can't see much change if they don't look closely, and they don't know.

The subordinates hurriedly stepped forward to report, and the three kings, two Yangs and Gao Gao were led by the song and dance, and they all got up at this time and came over to greet each other. The two Hebei envoys over there never left their seats, Xue Guyan snorted coldly, turned his head, and continued to watch the dance; Mo Duolou Yuanwen swept over a pair of gloomy eyes and couldn't help but look at Yu Wentai.

After a few words of greeting, Yuwentai did enough to make a few courtesies, but he sighed in his heart: What the fruit said is really not bad, the country is so dangerous, but the princes and ministers are still extravagant as before. The three kings are already the closest and most relied on by the Son of Heaven, but they can't get rid of the vulgar, and the rest... Naturally, not to mention.

How can the three kings know what Yuwentai is thinking? Seeing that he lowered his eyebrows and was very respectful, he was proud in his heart. Especially the Nanyang Wang Yuanbao Torch, today's Jingle Temple should be arranged by him, and he feels even more happy.

In fact, although the three kings are rich and noble on weekdays, they only come to this Jingle Temple to watch the dance. In other words, since the national turmoil, the previous owner of Jingle Temple, the former owner of Qinghe Wang Yuanyi, died due to palace turmoil many years ago, this Jingle Temple has long been much worse than in the past. Today's situation is all the whim of the ingots torch, and a lot of money is deliberately arranged, hoping to use this "extreme luxury" to reproduce the world, so as to shock the iron hearts of Guanzhong and Hebei warriors, and lest this arrogant soldier and fierce general do not know the etiquette and spoil the plan. Yuan Xiu thought about it and thought it was true, that is, Yuan Hui had always been at odds with the two of him, and he also felt that it was a good idea to invite the envoy to Jingle Temple to enjoy the singing and dancing, so he decided like this.

Yu Wentai blindly felt that the three kings were extravagant, and he was inevitably a little mistaken.
