In September, the autumn is high and cool, the clouds are light and the mountains are green, the golden chrysanthemum is smiling, the osmanthus is fragrant, it is to climb high and overlook, visit the beautiful scenery of the chrysanthemum.

The Double Ninth Festival also came unexpectedly at this time.

Although the Double Ninth Festival was not visible in later generations, it was a major festival at the moment, and the city of Tokyo was very lively, and the worries of the Beijing Forbidden Army when they went out a month ago seemed to have all dissipated. All living beings, dignitaries, and low-level Li people seem to have returned to the prosperous and gorgeous good days of the past. On the first day or two of the morning, all households, regardless of whether they were rich or low, presented steamed cakes with noodles to their relatives and friends. It is planted with small flags and mixed with fruits, such as pomegranate seeds, chestnuts, ginkgo, pine nut flesh and the like. And make the shape of the lion barbarian king with powder, put it on the cake, and call it "lion barbarian".

The Chung Yeung Festival is the day of autumn, and the spring on the third day of the first month of March can be said to be the day when the family comes out, and all relatives must come to the height to "avoid disasters". Traveling to enjoy autumn, climbing high and overlooking, watching chrysanthemums, planting dogwoods all over the place, eating chongyang cakes, drinking chrysanthemum wine and other activities, you can see the importance of this day.

Even if there is no height inside and outside Kaifeng City, it is just as lively. Just say that this "autumn" time can be taken with a female branch to travel, and it is deeply loved by literati doctors and gentlemen. Even invisibly compared.

It's like when attending a banquet in later generations, the female companions around you compare in all aspects, from appearance to dress. The current identity of the female branch is also where the comparison lies. You must know that this Qinglou female branch is also divided into high and low. To take a not-so-appropriate example, look at the entertainment industry in later generations, the gap between the value of top stars and the tricks is worlds apart.

Today's Li Shishi, Cui Niannu, and Zhao Yuannu, the three famous flowers in Tokyo, are the top names in this industry. It is also a 'everyone' who is sought after by the children of famous families and even dignitaries.

The gap between them and the low-level female branch can be seen.

If you want them to come out once, it will be expensive. But even if the dignitaries and dignitaries who are scrambling to send money are so romantic, they still break the threshold of the three daughters. No, to be exact, the threshold of the two women's homes was broken, and someone had already set it at Master Li's place.

The Li Mansion in Xiaoyu Lane, this is the private residence of Master Li. If she is so famous, the workplace will be moved to Fan Lou. The relationship between this female branch and the famous building is always complementary.

There is a weeping willow in front of the Li Mansion in Xiaoyu Lane, and the branches and leaves of the wicker have withered, but it is still green. Across the wall, there is a plum tree hidden on the blue screen window, and there is not a single plum branch sticking out of the wall, as if welcoming visitors.

Zhou Bangyan quietly walked up to the shadowless wing room, and saw Master Li sitting alone in the pavilion, as if he was contemplating. But as soon as she saw Zhou Bangyan coming, her expression quickly changed, she became elated, smiling, as if she wanted to hide her heart from him.

"Why is it too late for the officials to come here?" But he completely omitted the politeness, "I was so tired that the master went upstairs several times, and I wanted to wear it." ”

Zhou Bangyan sank slightly, but decided to go with the flow. The woman in front of her is a smart person, some things and some words, whether to say or not, she has her own plans in her heart. And why bother yourself?

After all, he is already in his sixties, and he can provoke the favor of Master Li, who is a young and beautiful masterpiece in the capital, which already makes him have a lot of face.

Although this literati can always easily capture beauties, the age gap between him and her is big after all.

Master Li welcomed Zhou Bangyan into the room and sat down, and found that he seemed to be a little different from before. "What's wrong with the official, his face is so embarrassed?" Busily poured a glass of warm wine for him.

"A companion is like a tiger. It's hard for outsiders to ...... this thrilling"

In the old days, during the Double Ninth Festival, the people did a lot of things, and this was especially true in the palace. The official family is more interested in going to Jinmingchi for fun. As the leader of the highest music organ in the Zhao and Song dynasties, Zhou Bangyan naturally needs to accompany him. That's why he's late today.

Zhou Bangyan's name is Meicheng, a halal layman, and a native of Qiantang (Hangzhou). Guanli Taixuezheng, Luzhou professor, Zhilishui County, etc. Song Shenzong was a student and wrote "Biandu Fu" to praise the new law. When Huizong, it was the Huiyou Pavilion to be systematized, and the Dasheng Mansion (the highest music organ) was promoted. He is proficient in music and rhythm, and has created many new tones. Most of his works write about girlfriends and travel, and there are also works of songs. The rhythm is strict, the language is beautiful and elegant, and the long tone is especially good at paving. It was later taught by the poets of the Glu school. The work has long been revered as "authentic" among euphemists. Later generations of word theories called him "the crown of lyricists" or "Lao Du in words".

Even if such a talented person is old, he can easily win the heart of a beauty. You must know that Master Li is a horned female branch. The so-called horned female branch is the singing female branch. Master Li is best at "small singing". Her singing is the best in Tokyo. It's not the imagination of later generations to become famous purely with 'a pair of jade arms and a thousand pillows, and a little red lips and thousands of customers'.

And like her, the Oiran of the month, all the people who call the bureau are not ordinary people, but they know a lot of secrets that can't be heard in the market.

"A companion is like a tiger. Could it be that the official family is angry and has suffered? Master Li replied casually, and in his heart he was even more curious about why the official family was angry. Thinking of the note she had just put away, her face was impassive, and her heart was pounding.

Zhou Bangyan drank the warm chrysanthemum wine in the wine cup, and sang: "Heaven and earth are repeated, and the fire is dying; The building will crumble, and it will be difficult to support a single tree. "Who would have thought that Tong Guan's 100,000 army would be wiped out by the Liangshan bandits in a battle? Previously, Gao Yu was divided into multiple divisions and scattered his forces, so that he was annihilated by the Liangshan bandits. Tong Guan's 100,000 people were pressed down, twice as much as the enemy's strength, and there were tens of thousands of elite Western troops among them, but they were torn apart by the First World War, and the defeat was like a mountain, and it was irreversible. Tong Guan, this eunuch should be killed, should be killed!

Today's Zhao Guanjia in the palace was originally going to Jinmingchi, and then Zhou Shizong Chai Rong was in Xiande for four years, in order to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was located in the water town, he dug an artificial lake in the west of the west wall of the outer city of Kaifeng, "internal practice water war", just like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dug Kunming Pool in the west of Chang'an City in order to train the navy. The pool can be passed through the big boat, for the naval army training ground. Even in the period of Zhao Laoer, it was also mostly used for training the naval army, fortunately shipbuilding, or fortunately reading the cannon stone crossbow.

But in the Zhenzong and Renzong periods, the old Zhao family had long lost the entrepreneurial spirit of the founding emperor, and gradually turned this Jinmingchi for training sailors into a royal playground. After the processing of several generations of emperors of Yingzong, Shenzong and Zhezong, Jinmingchi has been continuously deepened and expanded, and it has gradually become exquisite. Buildings and pavilions rose from the ground everywhere, and before Huizong ascended the throne, it was already a royal garden.

In March every year, after the pool water thaws, the Jinming Pond is partially opened, called the open pool, so that thousands of people and officials pour into it, the traffic is busy, bustling to come, a good piece of leveling weather!

It is only during the Dragon Boat Race of the Duanyang Festival, in which the navy uses the traditional name of the Tiger Wing Army, that people will remember that more than 100 years ago, this was once a heavily guarded military place.

A person has the character of a person, a city has the character of a city, and a dynasty has the character of a dynasty. If the process of modifying a military Jinming Pond into a playground and constantly 'adding bricks and tiles' can be seen as the personality transformation process of the Northern Song Dynasty court, it really complements each other.

Zhao Ji has already sent people to prepare the jade chariot and the halo book, and also summoned a few older sons to stand on the side of the throne, in order of age, it is the crown prince Zhao Huan, Jiawang Zhao Kai, Su Wang Zhao Frame, and Guangping County King Zhao Gou.

Zhao Ji has a lot of sons, so he has room for pickiness, and if anyone among the dozen or so sons is pleased with him, he must be born with extraordinary intelligence, or handsome as jade, or his mother can even win his favorite. Zhao Huan, the eldest son, he was not very happy. He served on the side only because he was the crown prince, and he became the crown prince only because he was the eldest son of the emperor.

"The official family first called the band to play, and the atmosphere was relaxed. But I never expected that there was a sudden urgent report from outside the palace, and ......" Zhou Bangyan said this, and shuddered. When he was a student in the Shenzong Dynasty, he described the grand situation of Bianjing at that time with a piece of "Biandu Fu", praised the new law, and was appreciated by Emperor Shenzong and promoted to Taixuezheng. Since then, he has become a thorn in the side of the old party figures, a thorn in the flesh, and has been adrift in other places for more than ten years, and now Emperor Daojun is on the throne, and he can return to Tokyo. He was the secretary and supervisor, entered the Huiyou Pavilion to be systematized, and served the current official family for ten years, and this was the first time he saw the current official family so angry.

What's even worse is that the crown prince Zhao Huan stayed by Zhao Ji's side, and this group was furious, and finally involved Zhao Huan.

Zhou Bangyan said this, his hands trembled. The crown prince was angry, and he clearly saw the joy flashing on King Jia's face, shaking the country, shaking the country.

Zhou Bangyan knelt on the ground and did not dare to move for two quarters of an hour.

Zhou Bangyan, who was completely immersed in self-fear, did not notice the unnaturalness of Master Li around him. Master Li excused himself to prepare water for him, and walked out of the room quickly, taking a big breath of cold air, as if he had escaped from the stuffy box.

"That, that, it's all true?" Master Li subconsciously stroked his left wrist, where there was a silver chain hanging with a crystal carved jade rabbit, I don't know I will only think that this is jewelry, but Master Li knows that this is a token, a token that suddenly appeared in his dressing box in the early morning of one day.

She didn't want to have anything to do with that group at all, but sitting at home behind closed doors, disaster came from heaven. Someone there valued her.

……

In the mid-autumn of the sixth year of Zhenghe, the weather in Bianjing was particularly good. But Zhao Ji's mood in his heart was particularly gloomy.

Long Live Mountain is still as beautiful as in the past, this garden that took many years, the beauty of natural landscapes and artificial ingenuity in one, including the world's unique, including the victory of ancient and modern, set the masterpiece of contemporary north and south garden architecture, and all-inclusive, and winning.

Although it was September, it was still willow green and pink, and the fragrance of flowers was overflowing, which was a big pride for Zhao Ji, but now he was not in the mood to play. Liangshanbo has evolved from an old disease to a deadly hazard, and a new civil unrest is brewing in the southeast, Jinghu, and Hedong, and the Great Song Dynasty has suddenly lost this autumn.

This time Tong Guan was defeated, and the Liangshan Bo thief army could kill under Tokyo without any hindrance. Not to mention that wherever the bandits went, the cities and villages were ruined, and the gentry withered, and the latter was the staunch ally of the old Zhao family to rule the Central Plains. It was this shock that could be caused by this, and it also made the prestige of the court fail.

Zhao Ji knew very well that the area around Jifu and Shandong was the fundamental importance of the country. The ruling center of gravity of the old Zhao family is still in the north, even though the wealth of the Jiangnan and southeast regions has long surpassed that of the Central Plains, but just look at the arrangement of the Zhao family's soldiers and horses. There are only thirteen generals in the entire south of the Yangtze River, and there are thirty-seven generals in one Hebei.

More importantly, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army was unbearable, and the Hebei Forbidden Army was also unbearable. However, the Western Army could not be transferred to the Central Plains in one go.

It was difficult to dispatch 50,000 soldiers and horses before, and although the Xixia people did not dare to open their mouths, they also had to take the opportunity to take the knife. That would require the transfer of 100,000 or even more soldiers and horses, and the imperial court did not know how much it would cost. Moreover, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is useless, the generals are afraid of death, the officers and soldiers are cowardly, and the Liangshan thieves will come whenever they want! Where does the imperial court exist? How can you fight a war if you don't have money?

The local treasury and government treasury, the money accumulated by the Shenzong and Zhezong dynasties have long been squandered by him.

For a while, Zhao Ji looked at Long Live Mountain and had endless troubles, and even hatred. How nice would it be if this exquisite garden could be turned into a silver ingot? Even if it's a fold in half, he's willing. Even he was annoyed that Gao Yu, who had been dead for a long time, came. But he just posthumously presented Gao Yu Kaifuyi with the three divisions, accumulating less insurance, and now he is chasing the official rank ......, Zhao Ji still wants to be embarrassed.
