History of Wuzhou Assassination Chapter 7 The difficulties of Her Royal Highness the Princess
Yonghui five years, the fifteenth day of the first month, the Yuan Festival, in ancient times called the night for the night, this night is also called the Lantern Festival.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the fifteenth day of July, and the fifteenth day of October are the first full moon nights of spring, summer, and winter respectively, so they are called three yuan, namely the upper yuan, the middle yuan, and the lower yuan. All are statutory holidays in the Tang Dynasty, and all civil servants are paid for three days off.
Regarding the origin of the Shangyuan Festival, according to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the Fangshi Song was invited to worship the Taiyi God all night long, forming the custom of putting up lanterns at night. Buddhism in the Eastern Han Dynasty entered the Middle Earth, and combined with the Buddhist custom of "gathering to watch lanterns", forming a unique traditional festival.
This festival is the most popular in Datang, even more than the Spring Festival, thanks to the curfew system. Three gongs sounded at dusk, and the doors of the people went home were closed, and it was a crime to go out. If you don't have a certificate of official business or illness, you will be given 20 lashes first, and then you will be locked up in prison overnight. There is only Shangyuan in the whole year, and the curfew is lifted for three days, which is precious and empty.
At two o'clock, the Shifu was pierced, and a broom was erected in the courtyard, wearing silk clothes and flowers. Cui Qing prayed sincerely, asked the god Zigu to descend, and told good wishes. The god of Zigu, also known as the god of toilets, can predict the future, and the woman's heart will be told to her, which will help her wish come true.
This is also the old custom of the Shangyuan Festival, the toilet god does not care about the toilet, but just takes an unlucky name. Qing has too many wishes, and he can't stop babbling for a long time, which can make the toilet god cry depressed. Say your last wish, make Wu Kang depressed and cry, just your body, do you still want to give birth to a dragon and phoenix fetus? Pull it down! Don't be greedy, give birth to a single child safely, and burn high incense to celebrate.
After praying out of the Assassin's Mansion, more than a dozen security guards opened the way and went to Dongming Road and Huamanlou to gather. As soon as I got out of the gate, the festive atmosphere was blowing in my face, and I looked at the traffic. At the intersection of Dongming Avenue, bad people set up roadblocks and forbade horse-drawn carriages to enter. Traffic control is imperative, and horse-drawn carriages are forbidden to enter Dongming Road, in case the horse is startled, it is a tragedy.
Through the crowd, it takes a lot of effort to get to the outside of the building. Send the daughter-in-law to the women's guest department, meet with Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia, and visit the responsible area. This was also decided at the meeting, and Dongming Road was divided into areas of responsibility and assigned to different officials.
Each house hangs lanterns and embroiders various patterns, including flowers, birds, landscapes, people and animals. The largest of them is the Suzaku on the school field, which is more than two feet high. Wuzhou is located in the south of the capital, and it is necessary to worship the god of the south, but the shape is not good. The peacock is not like a peacock, the phoenix is not like a phoenix, it has no aesthetic sense, and it is a pure waste of public money.
The most important lamp is a child's lantern, which is only the size of a fist, but it is beautiful and bright. Looking around, the flower market lights are like day, like a city that never sleeps. The crowd was shoulder to shoulder, and the three were sometimes pushed far away. From time to time, when I meet plainclothes officials, I gesture OK to the big guy, indicating that I am in control.
The crowd was too uncomfortable, and after inspecting Dongming Road, I went west from the yamen and entered Wuzhou Road. The flow of people is much sparse, the mood is even more uncomfortable, and in the dark alleys on both sides, ambiguous sounds are heard from time to time. The next day is also Valentine's Day, a good day for lovers to elope and young women to cheat. There are poems as evidence: the willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.
Less than 100 steps into Wuzhou Road, more than 20 young women in masks accosted each other, and they were ashamed to send embroidered duck purses. The mandarin duck is a pair, the male is the mandarin duck, the female is the duck, and the mandarin duck means the mandarin duck, that is, the dewy wild mandarin duck. Di Renjie was dumbfounded, the unrestrained women of Wuzhou were not inferior to Chang'an.
The big guy has become the biggest target, after all, he is the highest commander, and he is born majestic and strong. Zhang Cambodia secretly calculated that if all the duck bags were collected, the thirteen golden and jade belts would definitely not be enough to hang. However, the big guy was high-spirited and polite, and refused to be busy with official business.
Di Renjie felt that he needed to change the topic at this moment, so he forcibly changed his ambiguous painting style: "Yesterday, I received an urgent official document, and the imperial court revoked the Wuwei Mansion, which may affect the disaster in March." Why don't Wu Gong write a letter explaining the severity of the rat plague and request that the dissolution be postponed? β
Zhang Cambodia answered: "I am afraid that this move is inappropriate, civilian officials and the military do not interfere with each other, and rashly submitting a letter will cause controversy." As for the March rat plague, Di Gong didn't have to worry, just levy the Jinhua and Yiwu militias. Our militia in Wuzhou is not afraid of death in battle, and it is no worse than the government soldiers. Wu Gong can order Yu Hongzhi to recruit early..."
The words came to an abrupt end, the painting style failed to be forcibly changed, and the ghost masked woman came, spouting "Zhang Gong is courteous" and handed out a beautiful duck bag. Zhang Cambodia's old face was slightly red, and Wu Kang added oil and vinegar: "Brother Meng will go and get busy first, Huaiying and I will inspect, don't delay the party." β
Di Renjie couldn't hold back his laughter, Zhang Cambodia was very embarrassed, and coughed dryly twice: "Thanks to the lady's wrong love, Cambodia is grateful, but he is entangled in official business, and he asks the lady to forgive his sins." β
The woman returned the salute, put away her purse, and walked away. In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Cambodia quickly changed the topic: "The imperial court withdrew Wuzhou Zhichong Mansion, is it a reckoning after the autumn?" When the lower officials listened to the rebellion in Muzhou, the Zhichong Mansion failed to return to Wu in time due to the delay of the trip, which was indeed a dereliction of duty. β
Di Renjie smiled strangely: "Brother Meng is too worried, the soldiers of the government are for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, and the Zhichong Mansion will also increase or decrease at any time." However, Wuwei Zhichong Mansion is a Shangfu, and the guards have experienced a hundred battles, so it is a pity to disband. The lower officials heard it yesterday that Lieutenant Cui Xingfeng and Lieutenant Guoyi were quite resentful of this. β
Wu Kang agreed, did not understand the imperial court order, and thought that it was the autumn queen to settle accounts. But it's good that this is no longer constrained by the army, and you can cover the sky with one hand.
Instead of discussing this issue, a new question is asked: "I have a foreboding that the rat plague in March is very large, bigger than I imagined. It is planned to mobilize the people, wait for the rat plague to come, and exchange copper coins for the people to fight the disaster. β
The two frowned and thought, there was a quarrel ahead, and when they looked up, their brows furrowed even tighter. Unconsciously, I came to Huaguan Temple, and the quarrel was at the gate of the temple. This is the largest Taoist temple in Wuzhou, and it is also the highest level of hunting places, and the view is full of female crowns.
The female crown is a female Taoist priest, mostly a girl who does not want to marry, or escapes the "words of the matchmaker of her parents", and borrows her family to enter the Tao to avoid marriage. At the same time, it is also the favorite of literati and the paparazzi, and the charm scandal never stops.
is more typical, the three major female poets of the Tang Dynasty: Xue Tao, Yu Xuanji and Li Ye, have scandals with Li Bai, Wang Wei, Lu Yu, etc. Wu Kangjue's pity is that they are from the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, and they have never seen it in their lives. self-deprecating pouting, and the two: "Listen to the content of the quarrel, it's child trafficking, let's go over and take a look." β
The three of them quickened their pace, and Wu Kang stopped in an instant, his eyes locked on the old beggar, and he couldn't return to his senses for a long time. Two ostentatious women were throwing themselves at the old beggar, accusing him of abducting boys. The onlookers pointed and pointed, and even scolded loudly, and the old beggar kept silent, grabbing the boy's sleeve, and the boy howled and cried.
The brows are furrowed tighter and tighter, the eyes are sharper and sharper, and the teeth are clenched more and more solidly. It wasn't until the scene of the dispute that Di Renjie was found that he could come back to his senses. Sensing the strangeness around her, she suddenly turned around and glared angrily, and the frightened female crown took two steps back.
The green cloth is intertwined with Taoist robes, with a graceful and delicate posture and a beautiful face. stroked his chest and slowed down his fright, bowed slightly, and said generously: "Nunu Yu Yuzhen, I have seen the history of martial arts." You stare at it for two moments, your eyes miserable and helpless, and you are unwilling to be resentful. I don't know what knots I have, can I talk to the slave? β
Wu Kang was noncommittal, it's a pity for you to be a Taoist, go and be a psychiatrist, sighed lightly and replied: "I don't like to share the thoughts in my heart, let alone be insightful." If you are all right, keep quiet and watch what happens with me. β
Turning her head to continue staring, Yu Yuzhen was bored with herself, but the corners of her mouth were exposed, standing side by side with him. After another quarter of an hour, hurried footsteps passed, and the young couple rushed to the scene. A few minutes later, the couple thanked Di Renjie for their kindness, and the woman knelt down and kowtowed, and was supported by Zhang Khanzhi.
The bad guy got the news, saw the female crown next to the big guy, and left from afar. Horizontal knives against the necks of the suspects and forcibly took them away. Wu Kang waited for Di Renjie and Zhang Cambodia to come, withdrew his gaze from the old beggar, and asked softly what was going on?
Di Renjie replied: "The boy and his parents were separated, and the two women had evil thoughts and tried to abduct and sell people on the pretext of looking for their parents. The old man noticed the abnormality, followed closely behind, and snatched the child in time. The suspect thief shouted to catch the thief, and in turn slandered the old man, and now it has been revealed. β
Wu Kang nodded lightly, Yu Yuzhen recited the Dharma number, and saluted the two of them: "The slave views the two faces, the heavenly court is full and the jaw is round, and the official fortune is prosperous and rich. In the future, the official will worship the prime minister, a very good minister, congratulations to the two. β
The two were polite and polite, not rude and perfunctory, and they didn't seem to have a good impression of the female crown. Wu Kang became interested, looked at Yu Yuzhen and smiled: "Show you the way, go to be a fortune teller, and make money more than a Taoist... The hour is coming, Brother Huaiying, Brother Meng Jiang, let's go back to the Huamanlou. β
Looking at it again, the Taoist temple was still pushing, and the couple paid the beggar, but the beggar waved his hand and did not answer. Jiang Da Niu hurriedly ran over, glanced at Yu Yuzhen, and stammered a report: "Wu Gong Rongyu, Jiu Niangzi asked you to go back, and your colleagues have arrived." β
The atmosphere was instantly embarrassing, Yu Yuzhen was sneering, beautiful and incomprehensible, and everyone lost their minds for a moment. Wu Kang expressed helplessness that all his whereabouts were monitored by his daughter-in-law. Jiang Daniu's grandson was bought, but Cui Qing was the first to look ahead. Immediately too lazy to talk nonsense, he looked at the door of the temple again, turned around and strode away.
Yu Yuzhen is interested, the rumors are true, Wu Gong is really afraid of guilt, but it's quite interesting. At this moment, the dispute stopped, and she walked to the temple gate, and looked at the old beggar. The clothes were ragged and disheveled, and there was a large cloth bag hanging from the left shoulder, which looked heavy.
When the blue opened the cloth bag, through the light, it was actually white flowered rice. The beggar took out one, put it in his mouth and chewed it, and swallowed it slowly. When she saw the old man's face clearly, Yu Yuzhen couldn't help but be stunned, why is this face...
The old beggar passed by her and said lightly: He is not suitable for you, so he can do it himself...
Outside the door of Dongming Road, Di Renjie grabbed the big man's sleeve, dragged him to the stable, and mysteriously took out a few pieces of paper. Zhang Cambodia learned the same thing, and also took out a stack, stuffed it into the big guy's hand, and lowered his voice: "This is the Shangyuan poem we composed, Wu Gong... Take it for emergency. β
This is embarrassing, two eye-catching mocking faces, I really want to slap over. The two future slaughterers are gunners, why are they so awkward? Soared out two eye knives, threw the paper in the stable, and entered the flower building with a black face.
All the male guests arrived, Wu Kang greeted him, and everyone went up to the second floor to visit the princess of Xincheng. The princess is the first rank, and she is only the fourth rank, so she must go to salute. Hao Hao went upstairs, knocked on the door with his heart, and found the main salute: "Wuzhou Assassin Shi Wukang, bring all my colleagues to meet Her Royal Highness the Princess." β
All the brothers shouted slogans together, including Changshi Changsun Quan. Xincheng signaled to be exempt, glanced at the warbler Yanyan, coughed twice and chanted the poem: "Daming Lake, Ming Lake is big, there are lotus flowers in Daming Lake, there are toads on the lotus flowers, one poke and one jump... What do the sisters think of this masterpiece of martial arts? β
The family members were silent for a few seconds, and then burst into laughter, some of whom bent over with laughter. Lao Di Lao Zhang strained his face, the rest of his colleagues held back a smile, Cui Qing directly blackened his face, and Wu Kang was slapped in the face. But there are different opinions in my heart, Zhang Dashuai's poem is very popular in Chang'an and Wuzhou.
Outside the south gate of Wuzhou City, there is a two-acre lotus pond, which was originally called "Thousand Miles of Lotus Pond", and now it is called "Daming Lake" according to the trend, but unfortunately there is no Mama. This girl's heart, Wu Kang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "The princess is falsely praised, and the minister is ashamed." β
Laughing again, Cui Qing's face was as black as ink, Wu Kang hurriedly made his eyes, daughter-in-law, we don't know like her, let's be pregnant with a child. Cui Qing also knows the general situation, and knows that she can't tear the princess, and she is aggrieved like an angry daughter-in-law.
While the eldest grandson was disdainful, his heart was full of doubts, Xincheng was usually not like this, whether it was to his in-laws or ministers, he was humble and polite. Why treat Wu Kang so aggressively... There must be resentment in my heart, if that kind of thing was put on the martyr, she would have committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.
The laughter gradually stopped, Xincheng glanced at Wu Kang, and said lightly: "I remember that today, you want to drink and talk happily and chant poems for the moon, right?" The slave also wants to hear the masterpieces of the assassination history... It's better to do this, just take the theme of the above yuan, and write a poem on the epic, so that I can learn from it. β
The laughter resumed, but the sound was very loud, and the ladies felt that it was too much. Especially Lao Di and Lao Zhang's daughters-in-law, they sat in danger and kept silent. Wu Kang was confident, coughed dryly twice, and decided to carry Xin Qiji's "One Night Fish and Dragon Dance".
Before she could speak, the princess came up with a new trick, unscrewed a grain on the grape bunch, and said lightly: "With the talent of the history of martial arts, the theme of Shangyuan is too simple, let's change it." The history of martial arts and thorns, with grapes as the theme..."
"If you want it, you have to get it", Wu Kang agreed. Glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, Bissing's "Green Jade Case. Yuan Xi", much simpler, much easier to memorize. brewed emotions again, but it was still too late to speak, and Xincheng's sentence of "the words are not finished" successfully made him shut up.
Her Royal Highness the princess looked at the grapes in her hand: "In the past, on the Shangyuan Festival, the ninth brother gave food to the ministers to show the emperor's grace. The slave also gives you food, just this grape, and you and your comrades share this grape... You're strategizing, can't you be overwhelmed? β
The scene was silent, which was a blatant embarrassment, one grape was not enough for one person to stuff his teeth. Everyone couldn't help but wonder, why did Duke Wu offend the princess? Everyone was worried, but Cui Qing and Eldest Sun Quan showed strange expressions.
The strangeness of the eldest grandson: The princess's self-title is wrong, even in front of the saint, she calls herself "I". But in front of Wu Kang, he called himself a "slave"; Cui Qing's weirdness: Kang Lang told a bloody love story, the male protagonist loves the heroine deeply, but he bullies her all the time... It's kind of interesting!
Wu Kang's face is ugly, my eldest sister, it's a bit excessive. Isn't it just to deliver you to the baby, as for being so embarrassed? Coughing dryly, he said, "Your Royal Highness the Princess, are you a bunch of grapes, or a grape... Why don't we still compose poems, or do we make two poems, one for grapes and one for Shangyuan? β
Yin and Yang resounded: "The imperial brother gave the courtiers food, and the courtiers were grateful to Dade; The slave gave the Wuzhou officials food, but was shirked by the assassination. It seems that the princess is very unprestigious, so when she answers Chang'an, she will find the royal brother to comment. β
Gotcha, you're old, and your brother is willing to bow down. Wu Kang gritted his teeth hatefully, his face was light, and he slowly reached out and let the grapes fall. All colleagues shared, how to eat, each licked a bite... I was disgusted by myself.
The colleagues understood the big man's thoughts, and they all turned their heads in disgust, and the female relatives also frowned. Only Cui Qing, her eyes were full of excitement, and she looked at Xincheng ambiguously. Wu Kang had nothing to do, and secretly cursed in his heart.
There is a saying among the people, if you marry a princess and raise an official mansion on the ground, you are the one who marries the princess. not only attracts bees and butterflies, but also is arrogant and presumptuous, doesn't it just rely on your brother Li Jiu? Li Jiu, that turtle grandson...
When he was on the ground, he suddenly opened, thinking of a certain allusion to Li Jiu, when he sealed Mount Tai, he used radish to make things difficult for a big family. That family has more than 900 people, and it has never been separated, as long as the patriarch governs the family well, there will be no problem with 900 more.
Li Jiu made it difficult for the patriarch, gave him two radishes, and asked the whole clan to eat them separately. Wu Kang secretly slandered, worthy of a compatriot, and the means of making difficulties were the same. When she came to Cui Qing, the grape put her palm: "Take this grape, ask the best cook, make a pot of grape juice, and the official will drink it with you." β
As soon as this remark came out, Di Renjie couldn't help but applaud and shouted, "Princess Xie gives juice". Zhang Cambodia followed closely, and the others were stunned for a moment, pinching their noses and agreeing. Cui Qingmei smiled, and went downstairs with joy.
Xinchengpi didn't smile at the meat, and instructed the personal maid: "Deguan, take care of the nine ladies and carry your body." If the service is not good, in the future, premature birth, dystocia, Wu Thorn Shi should use forceps again. By the way, I instructed the kitchen to give them two bowls of grape juice per person, using the largest bowl in the store..."
As the saying goes, it is better to offend a gentleman than to offend a person; It is better to offend people than to offend women. The men's box in the building was full of flowers, and all the officials in Wuzhou were surrounded by a steaming cauldron. Look at the grape skins on the water, serve the sea bowl, drink the clear grape juice...
In this situation, there is no poetry and elegance. That, ** naked revenge. The personal maid came to spread the word, the princess of my family, the horse rejected the grape juice, and gave half a catty of red sorghum. Don't be stunned, everyone, hurry up and drink juice.
Is this grape juice? Rejecting a hair, everyone dares to be angry but dare not speak. The eldest grandson was very proud, sat next to him with sorghum wine, and poured himself a drink. Wu Kang was even more disdainful, if I were you, I would definitely accompany the wings to drink boiled water. What you do will cause dissatisfaction.
Xincheng has no heart, tricks and humiliate us, and we will transfer our dissatisfaction to Changsun Quan. The strength of the pit man, they are all children, and they are so naΓ―ve. Sure enough, everyone's faces were ugly.
Two bowls of white water belly, line up to go to the thatched house. Staying up until late at night, the pedestrians dispersed, and the big cow came to report that in addition to the abduction case, seven more thieves were arrested, and there was no fire.
Wu Kang was very satisfied, and said to everyone: "The law and order is good, all the gentlemen are hard, go back to sleep... Divide the grape juice from the pot and drink it again tomorrow..."
