"Hmph, what a good Wang Zhengjian, what the hell is the idea in my heart!!" Ge Shuhan slapped the letter heavily on the desk.

Wang Sili was so frightened that he hurriedly took back the words that came to his mouth.

"Give up the stone fort and take a detour! He said it lightly, but what did the saint's edict say? We must conquer the Stone Castle! Ge Shuhan's voice was like thunder.

"Jieshuai, conquer Fuqi City and Jiuqu Land, the stone castle can indeed go down without a fight!" Wang Sili period Ai Ai Dao.

"Confused!" Ge Shuhan scolded angrily, so frightened that Wang Sili quickly knelt on the ground.

"San Lang, get up." Seeing that Wang Sili's body looked like chaff, Ge Shuhan sighed and helped him up.

"That Wang Zheng saw or thought that he didn't know that this strategy was decided by the marshal, but didn't he know that in order to rescue the marshal, he had already thoroughly understood the will of the saint, the strategy of the marshal, and the terrain around the stone castle. Dashuai's strategy is not bad, but it has fatal flaws. Geshuhan's tone slowed slightly.

"Flawed?" Wang Sili was a little stunned.

"It's too long, the saint can't afford to wait!" Ge Shuhan said quietly: "There are more than 400,000 soldiers in Tibet, and they should not be humiliated. Jilong's right soldiers and horses made a detour from east to west, repeatedly tugging with it, when can they overcome the city? When can I take Jiuqudi? Decade? Twenty years? The saint has ruled the four seas for more than 30 years, how many years can he wait? ”

Ge Shuhan's heart-wrenching words made Wang Sili's forehead sweat cold, and he didn't dare to answer.

"If it weren't for this, with the prosperity of the handsome saint's favor and the depth of the foundation, how could he become a prisoner of the rank in an instant?" Thinking of the past, Ge Shuhan seemed to be very emotional.

"San Lang, you must remember that Ci is not in charge of the soldiers! Since the saint is bent on taking the stone fort and being a border general, he should be like a loyal dog and bravely go forward to fight, how can he spare his soldiers? Besides, our Tang Army has a large number of people and abundant material resources, even if the Longyou Army loses thousands of men and horses and consumes millions of money and grain to attack the stone fort, it can be replenished in an instant, how can it resist and disobey the order because of this? Above the court, it seems that there are thousands of things, but after all, the sacred heart is great and the holy will is important. If you don't understand this, not only will it be difficult to protect your wealth, but it will also harm your children and grandchildren. ”

"Jie Shuai, a certain has been taught!" Wang Sili said solemnly, the beads of sweat on his head rolled down to the ground like raindrops outside the window.

More than ten days ago, when the wind was mighty in Longyou Mountain, Chang'an was drizzling. On the third day of the first month of March, the spring rain in Longyou is continuous, and in Chang'an City, it is full of flowers and spring.

Qujiang Pond in the south of the city, the vast water surface of the smoke waves is blown by the spring breeze. The slight waves are surging, and the colorful boats are swinging, which embellishes the grand scene of the Shangsi Festival more charmingly.

Jianning King Li Li, who was a sword eyebrow star, and his eldest brother Li Li, the king of Guangping, stood respectfully in the colorful boat, and they didn't dare to come out.

In the whole world, there are not many occasions where the eldest son and third son of the crown prince Li Heng can hold their breath, but this richly decorated double-decker colorful boat is one of them.

On the upper floor of the colorful boat, the saint who dominates the world is looking at the distance by the railing, the mighty water surface, the splendid apricot blossoms, the towering floating slaughter, and the neat fang market, all of which are refreshing and pleasant.

Leaning on the side of the saint is a noble concubine who is a collection of three thousand favors. But seeing that she is more delicate than apricot blossoms, weak as weeping willows, although there are thousands of charming, but fresh and natural like spring flowers blooming, making people forget the vulgar.

Behind the saint and the lady are the inseparable Gao Lishi, the strong spirit of Li Heng and the triumphant Yang people.

Li Linfu, who has the power in the world and is the right minister, can only wait for the saint in the Ziyun Tower on the side of the Qujiang Pond at this time, and has no chance to accompany the saint to the boating pool.

There is no way, who let the saint suddenly enjoy a lot of excitement before the banquet of the children of the Tang Dynasty and the civil and military officials, and want to bring his "family" to the pool to enjoy the spring!

Who is the "family"? Among the saint's descendants, only the crown prince and the two most favored saint grandsons were invited, while the Yang brothers and sisters were all on the boat, and even Yang Zhao, who was estranged, was qualified to accompany him to the pool.

"Lady, in the boating pool, I don't know if there is a scene in the eye?" The king, who controls the four seas, asked as gently as an amorous young man.

The concubine smiled coquettishly, and pointed to the hundreds of acres of apricot orchards in the southwest corner of Qujiang Pond and said: "San Lang, the apricot blossoms are delicate, like white and red, clusters, bright as the morning glow, really cute!" ”

Without waiting for the saint to explain, Gao Lishi hurriedly summoned Xiao Huangmen and explained in his ear.

After Gao Lishi finished explaining, Xiao Huangmen hurriedly went downstairs. After a while, I saw a large cluster of pink and lovely apricot blossoms with spring dew being sent.

The saint carefully studied it for a long time before breaking a small branch from the apricot blossom and inserting it into the crown of the concubine.

"This flower can especially help the delicate state!" The saint was quite proud of his work.

The concubine was shy for a while, and bowed solemnly: "Xie Sanlang! ”

"Your Majesty, can you give one or two of the stumps used by my little sister to the poor concubine!" Mrs. Yang Yuyao stepped forward and asked.

"My aunt has a request, how dare I disobey?" The sage smiled: "There is a courtyard in the south of the apricot garden, the north can look at the Qujiang River and the apricot garden, and the south can overlook the South Immortal Mountain." When I was the crown prince, I would occasionally go to the courtyard to enjoy spring. Since ascending the throne, the state has been busy, and I have not set foot in it for a long time. Today, give it to your sister. In this way, when my aunt needs to fold apricot blossoms, it is much more convenient. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Mrs. Yu Guo knelt down to thank her, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.

When the Yang family saw that Mrs. Qiuguo skillfully obtained a courtyard from the sage, they exchanged heads and ears. Although he couldn't help but envy Yang Yuyao's good intentions and good luck, he was satisfied with the saint's favor for the Yang family.

Seeing the arrogance that could not be concealed in the eyebrows and eyes of the Yang family, Li Qi, the king of Jianning, couldn't help but say to his brother in a low voice: "Brother Wang, the birds are in charge, it is really speechless!" ”

Li Jiao's face tightened, and he shouted in a low voice: "Brother be cautious!" ”

Seeing that the people of the Yang family were still talking in a whisper, no one paid attention to them. Li Licai said in a low voice: "Brother Yan, although we are uncomfortable, the people in the Ziyun Tower who have never been on the boat are even more anxious. Why should we jump out and attract suspicion in the first place? ”

Li Qi thought for a while and said fiercely: "What Brother Wang said is very true. Just looking at the ugliness of these villains, I feel very aggrieved. ”

"Brother, be quiet, don't let the lady of the country hear it. Otherwise, if she gives you a Lalang match and forcibly stuffs an ugly girl to you, won't she be angry with you? Li Li half-jokingly reminded his younger brother.

"That slut dares to take care of my family affairs, see if I don't demolish her house!" Li Qi, who was famous for his heroism among the emperor's grandsons, snorted angrily and said, "But, Brother Wang, do you really want to marry that slut's niece, the daughter of Mrs. Han?" ”

The fair-skinned Li Jiao nodded helplessly, and said bitterly: "Brother Yan, do I dare not agree?" Now that the saint is so fortunate to the Yang family, how many phoenix sons and dragon grandsons in the Sixteen Princes' Mansion and the Hundred Grandchildren's Courtyard can be determined by Mrs. Qiuguo's words, how dare they disobey? ”

Seeing that the eldest brother was in such pain, Li Qi could only sigh, but he couldn't help it, so he had to comfort: "I heard that the little lady of the Cui family looks quite standard, and Brother Wang doesn't have to be too pessimistic." Today's variety, the coming days are long. ”

Li Qi is bold by nature and is a famous hero among the emperor's grandsons. He traveled extensively and knew the children of the powerful in Chang'an City very well, so he knew something about the daughter of Mrs. Han.

Li Jiao looked at his heroic and energetic younger brother and nodded slightly. He admired his brother's heroic appearance, but he also deeply understood that his brother was still too immature, and the city was too shallow, and many things could not be told to him.

However, a younger brother who is good at riding and shooting, being heroic, talking about filial piety, and having no city mansion is exactly what he needs. As the eldest son of the crown prince, he is used to seeing the deceit between the princes and grandchildren, and you fight for me, such a powerful and credible younger brother is really commendable. There have been too many brothers competing in the history of the Tang Dynasty's succession to the throne, and I hope that in my own generation, it can end forever.

With such a heavy and ethereal thought, Li Jiao's eyes looked at the flowery curtains and the endless stream of servants by the Qujiang Pond. You don't need to deliberately discern it, you can find the location of the "Wuyang" home. Where the curtain is the most luxurious, the servants are the densest, and the shouts are the highest, there is the poolside occupied by the Yang family.

Thinking that Cui Ningbi, who was about to pass through the door, was also in the curtain of "Wuyang", Li Jiao smiled coldly in his heart.

Li Linfu is pressing step by step, and his father's position as the crown prince is always unstable. As the eldest son, it is natural to share the worries of his father. As for Cui Ningbi's appearance and temper, Li Li actually didn't care at all. Anyway, what he loves most in his heart is always the bright pearl from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

Leaving the crowded poolside, Li Jiao looked at the apricot orchard in the southwest of Qujiang Pond. The concubine Niangniang just looked into the distance, and what she saw was a hundred acres of apricot blossoms, delicate and moving. However, Li Jiao, the ambitious king of Guangping, saw that he was concerned about the "flower exploration banquet" that was being carried out in the apricot garden.

The "Flower Exploration Banquet" is also known as the "Apricot Garden Banquet." "The official release date of the Jinshi examination of Datang every year is just before the Shangsi Festival, so during the Shangsi Festival, the Ministry of Rites will organize the new Jinshi to feast in the apricot orchard by the Qujiang Pond, and organize the Jinshi to cross the horse to parade the street after the banquet.

The reason why it is called the flower exploration banquet is because before the feast, the young and beautiful people in the Jinshi will be used as the "flower exploration envoys", and they will visit and pick famous flowers in various famous gardens by the Qujiang Pond, and decorate the banquet to welcome the champion.

For a long time, the focus of Chang'an's trip to the Sanqu River in early March was to watch the new science and technology scholars parade through the streets. With the rise of the Yang family, the people of Chang'an do not rebirth men and women, and the flower exploration banquet of the new science and technology jinshi is gradually ignored, and the general public has set their eyes on the Yang family's spring outing, which is extremely luxurious and pompous. If this continues, the future of Datang is really worrying.

Although Li Li was worried, he was powerless to change anything for the time being. But the only thing he can do at this moment is to do his best to keep his father's position as crown prince......

When Li Jiao was thinking in the colorful boat, on the side of the Qujiang Pond, Du Fu, a poor scholar dressed in white, looked at the monstrous flames of the "Wuyang" Haonu, and felt uncomfortable in his heart.

In the sixth year of Tianbao (747), the sage edicted the world to take the exam in Chang'an, and Du Fu, who had just returned from traveling in the land of Qi and Zhao, also took the exam.

Du Fu, who was born in the side branch of Jingzhao Du, was born in Xiangyang and was born in Gong County. He is skilled in poetry and writing, but he has repeatedly failed to succeed.

Hearing that the sage had issued an edict to recruit talents, Du Fu rushed to Chang'an to take the exam with great interest. Unexpectedly, this Enke was just a farce led by the right minister Li Linfu.

At the behest of Li Linfu, the Ministry of Rites judged all the scholars who took the examination to be unsuccessful. When the scholar was stunned, he heard that Li Xiangguo told the sage with the result that no one was in the middle: "Wanbang Xianning, no sage in the wilderness!" And the saint even believed!!

In desperation, in order to make a difference, Du Fu had to turn away from the door of the powerful and give him advice, but all of them were fruitless and embarrassing.

At this moment, the spring flowers are blooming, the apricot banquet is just right, and the poor Du Fu is strolling on the side of the Qujiang Pond where Chang'an is densely populated, looking at the luxury of the Yang family, thinking of the scoundrel Yang Zhao's steady progress, and his heart is even more resentful.

He thought that Li Linfu's treachery had reached its peak, but Li Xiang was not old, and Yang Zhao, who was even more unbearable, came from behind and went straight to the phase.

What made Du Fu even more worried was that when Qi Zhao was traveling, he saw a large number of ragged peasants who were overwhelmed by the increasingly heavy taxes and abandoned their land to flee the famine, the large estates connected by powerful families continued to rise, and the Long March athletes gradually became the domestic slaves of the border ministers......

And back in Chang'an, it is still a song and dance. The powerful ladies in Chang'an City can spend millions for the spring flowers, and they can spend a lot of money for the BMW horses from Zhaowu Jiu. The prosperous Chang'an City seems to be out of touch with the hardships and hardships in various parts of the Tang Dynasty and is running alone.

"What's wrong with Datang?" Du Fu shouted and panicked in his heart. He really didn't dare to imagine that after Yang Zhao, who was unlearned and had great selfish desires, became Xiangguo, where would Datang go!

Du Fu, who was worried, looked up at the bright spring light, looked at the luxurious colorful boats floating in the Qujiang Pond, and a poem came to life in his heart: "The weather is new on March 3, and the people on the waterside of Chang'an are ......."

Although the last few lines are still a little lacking, Du Fu is confident that this poem will become the best long poem he has ever written with a little modification.

It's just that behind the beautiful and sonorous words, what Du Fu heard was the bell of the Tang Dynasty's decline......
