Mobile reading
On the horizon of the land of Guanzhong, the sun after the snow stopped was already in the mountains, revealing half of its face; A pleasing glow shrouded the magnificent city.
The sound of the morning bell came from the Zen forests such as the Great Ci'en Temple, waking up and scattering flocks of birds, floating past the walls of the Forbidden Garden, and disappearing into the distant sky above the misty market.
The north wind swept through the Weishui of the ice floe and blew all over the two cities, 35th Street, and 109 squares of Chang'an. The thousands of weeping willows and the bare branches of the golden peach by the pond were blown down; It also scattered the remnants of the remnants of the lingering spirit that was still in Pingkang Sanli all night long, leaving only the yawning and the biting chill in the sky.
With the gradual advancement of the long queue into the city, the sky gradually brightened, and the noise of the cars and horses on the street and the hustle and bustle of the morning market in Fangtou gradually became dense and high-pitched.
In the sound of one after another, the birds hovering over the market also danced more and more rapidly in the morning light; But anyone who has lived in Chang'an for a long time will know that this is the sound of the two major cities in the city, east and west, and the city are about to open; After the opening drum of the third round is also sounded.
Countless traders, men, coachmen, and even slaves and maids from large households, as well as villagers from outside the city, also competed in the streets and alleys of dozens of miles of the city, converging into a stream of different thicknesses.
And after squeezing through the long queue and inspecting the body and flag, the ox cart where Yu Hui, the then judge of Sizhou, was located, also passed through the inner and outer gates of the city, and officially entered the location of this famous capital in the world.
He is a native of Yaoshan in Xingzhou (now Longyao County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province), famous for his poetry when he was a teenager, known as the teacher (Du) Fu and inherited (Meng) suburbs, and is a realistic poet who advocates close to the people's livelihood and suffering; It is known as the world for its simplicity and simplicity, brightness and straightforwardness, but it is regarded as a different style of contemporary sound rhythm poetry that "restricts the sound rhythm and enters the frivolity".
Therefore, in the case that the reputation of the literary world and the methods of camp drilling are not very pleasing, he was promoted to the rank of scholar in the second year of Xiantong (861), but he has always been a ups and downs of official luck, and now he is nearly forty years old, and he is only a Sizhou judge in charge of the affairs of the river and Cao under the Wuning Town (Xu Sijie Du envoy), compared with those who stayed in Beijing in the same year, at least they are scholars, scholars, and even cabinet ministers;
And one of his tasks outside of official business in Beijing this time was to bring a large amount of routine light and expensive goods and native products to supply the prime ministers of the current dynasty, Wang Duo and Zheng Jin, as a mutual shade for fellow party members, as well as the usual means of filial piety for the feudal towns. In addition, there are even more than a dozen fighting cocks and geese, but they are to cater to the fun-loving young man in the palace.
At that time, after a few years of revisiting the old place, the basic pattern in the capital seems to have remained largely unchanged; It's just that what makes him feel a little strange and abrupt is that the shops on the street are tearing down signs, and they seem to be scattered everywhere.
Yu Meng asked his friends who accompanied him in the same car, the same year scholar who was the first in the past, and now he is also born in the curtain and lives in the capital, and Xu Si, who is in charge of the exchange of flying money, entered the hospital and Liu She, only to learn the cause and effect.
But it was the father of the eunuch who was in power, and when he passed through the city on a trip, he thought that the signboards on the street were not neat enough; Then, the Jingzhao Mansion and the left and right street envoys of Jin Wuwei, who did not dare to slack off and were like Fenglun's orders, hurriedly moved in unison, and the door-to-door supervision of the street to dismantle and replace the signboards; Even the Great Ci'en Temple, Huangbao Temple, and Qinglong Temple, which are the royal Zen forests, belong to the Xuanyuan Temple, and they are also inevitable.
Then from time to time, Yu Mian could see the ragged crowds sleeping there in groups under the eaves of the streets and alleys; With the driving and scolding of the shopkeepers, he staggered to his feet, and walked to the street in a daze; But there are still many people who are obviously under the eaves and let people shout and kick and beat them like this, and they can no longer wake up;
Among them, there are many families hugging each other closely, revealing some kind of stiff and strange smile, or the existence of a distorted expression at the moment of death in sleep; At this time, the bad men (yagong) from Chang'an County and Wannian County with their stomachs will appear in front of the store in due course;
I saw that they were all loud, or alarmist, or coercive and tempting negotiations, and after asking for enough benefits and convenience from the shopkeeper, they turned around and instructed many white servants, fire patrols, and husbands who were pushing carts, talking about these stiff corpses that were tangled in one place, and carried them up one by one.
"Why haven't I seen these displaced people in the capital for several years?"
Yu Meng couldn't help but let the driver slow down, and then asked his friend Liu Shedao
"Those are just some unscrupulous people who run a lowly business"
Liu She was unimpressed.
"I'm going to get rid of it, so that the market is in full swing."
"Ziyi's direct sales will be done after a while, and you can be out of sight."
According to his follow-up rhetoric, it turned out that he was the son of heaven ascending to the pole for six years and did the four seas to ascend to the level, and began to drive out the lowly people in Chang'an City, especially those who lived in Beijing and operated lowly businesses to make a living, called "cleaning up the low-end population", ah no, it should be "the lower nine low-rate people are lowly and so on".
Then, as Xu Sijiedu's envoy (Wuning Town) who stayed in the capital for a long time, managing his own mansions, quality shops, cash cabinets and other industries and accepting goods, he also talked about some other recent observations, customs and anecdotes in Beijing.
Although there are grass thieves attacking the city and plundering the land outside the ridge, and the news of breaking the state and trapping the county is constantly coming, but to the court and the court, it is just a problem of the intermediary moss in the remote places; As the so-called thieves escaped from the mountains and the wealth was heavily endowed - the southeast roads were preserved, which is the greatest victory and phased achievement; To this end, the Zhenhai Jiedu Envoy and the Huainan Jiedu Envoy located in Gangdong Province have successively contributed a large amount of additional congratulatory gifts as a statement.
The only thing to worry about is that after the thieves in Guangzhou, not only the Zuozang Treasury and the Daying Treasury in the palace undoubtedly cut off the source of wealth from the Great Route, but also the lack of many foreign envoys from the city, many overseas foreign goods and the source of the treasures of the tributaries, and some of them inevitably tarnished a lot of the scene of the Great Dynasty.
For example, in Dongda City, many shops specializing in seafood and imported goods, those rare objects such as clams, tortoiseshells, pearl shells, pearls, and luodian, which are known for their exquisite decoration, have been out of stock one after another, and the kings, grandsons, nobles, and Wuling teenagers who are mixed in Pingkang can't help but sing and lament, "Make my women's makeup colorless. Whew"
Yu Meng was a little faintly worried, after all, he was from the Huaisi land where Pang Xun's rebellion was rampant; Back then, Pang Xun was able to judge the grain of a mere Guilin soldier, and when he swept half of the world, he was followed by countless displaced and hungry people; Therefore, although his generation has been crushed by the imperial court for more than ten years, there are still people in his hometown who miss and secretly worship the chaotic leader Pang Xun.
Now, for the sake of the dignity and pomp of the Son of Heaven, these large numbers of "lower nine rate people" have been driven away from the capital, which is of course out of sight so that those adults in the court can continue to sing and dance;
But so many people, who have lost their livelihoods and footholds, and who do not know where to go, have become a great local calamity; Do you expect them to go back to the soil in the countryside to dig for food? But not to mention the possibility, once it is made to gather again, I am afraid that it will not be a new source of thieves and rebellions in the local area.
It's just that when he revealed this worry to his friends a little, what he got was that Liu She was not worried, or it was a worrying joke.
"Ziyi is filtered."
"He can't lift it with many hands or shoulders."
"And there is no money for the road, and bread for the night. Where can it be wreak? ”
"This is the arch guard of the eight towns (Guannei), and there is the imperial capital of the inner town of Shence Jian'er."
"I'm afraid that in Weishui and Weishui, it is a good place for such a scramble to pay."
After settling down in the annex of the Songjin Courtyard, washing and changing clothes and eating dust wine, Yu Hui, who was a little smoky, also came to the balcony and continued to look at the winter scenery of this imperial capital.
At this time, a group of officials in angry horses and fresh clothes and the noble children of the brocade crown were rampaging through the street, and went straight to a Huayuan mansion in the distance. Along the street, there are occasional salaried people who sell in the cold wind, but they are been
"They... It should be the eunuchs who have just come down and are ready to participate in the morning feast."
Liu She, a friend next to him, was a little envious.
"This is a legacy of the old things that are learning from Mrs. Qiuguo."
"That feather coat, I'm afraid it's a hundred birds made of ancient times."
"I'm afraid I'm not going to steal the limelight from Kitato."
Yu Meng couldn't help but know in his heart, during the Tianbao period, the Yang brothers and sisters saw that the true lady was favored by the Son of Heaven, so they were very wealthy and carnivaled all night long to enjoy the horse market, and the pearls were all worth tens of thousands, among which the family had food and clothing for several years; It is said that she left a bird fur in her private pocket after her defeat and suicide, and it was worth hundreds of millions of dollars in the world.
However, I couldn't help but think of Du Zimei's "Five Hundred Words from Beijing to Fengxian County", "Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road." "It's the right time.
"Ziyi is a blessed person, and this time he rushed just right."
Then, Liu She continued to take out a famous stab.
"That's Zhang Jingong's Farewell Garden, which is feasting."
"Wang (Duo) and Zheng (Jin) are the prime ministers, and Cui (An Qian) is the prime minister."
"All the elders (sheren) under the Zhongshu Sect are likely to come."
"Let's just get to know each other."
It's just that after returning from the gift list, Yu Mian couldn't calm down when he remembered what he had seen before;
Those luxurious feasts that make people rush to the court without thinking about the government and retreating from the court, welcoming guests and gathering friends and gathering water and land curiosities; During the run, the delicate posture of the waiter and the skirt on the body were very expensive for the hard work of dozens of households; The gorgeous and complex Qiluo everywhere above the high platform pavilion is the same as the shirtless under the ragged firewood seller outside the wall downstairs.
In the end, he was indescribably depressed and indignant, and he felt that he made a song "Ancient Banquet Song" that was later handed down
The pheasant fan closed Penglai and returned to Zimo towards the car.
Heavy door set neighing horses, feasting on Jin Zhang House.
Yan'e served wine, low and weak.
Ten households have calluses and a phoenix hairpin.
The high-rise buildings look down, and the sun shines on the color of clothes.
Laughing at salaried people, they don't believe in China.
