The golden crow fell, the sky was dark, even if Li Lingyue was unwilling, she could only endure the unhappiness in her heart and say goodbye to Duan Jian. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Looking at Li Lingyue who boarded the carriage with heavy steps, Duan Jian's face became extremely heavy, as a successful businessman in later generations, it is not that he has not experienced the wind and snow, everything Li Lingyue showed today made him feel the attachment and reluctance in Li Lingyue's heart to him, if there was no Wang Wanjun, he might accept her, but when Duan Jian looked down at Wang Wanjun, who was clinging to him tightly, like an elf, he could only let out a deep sigh.

"Brother Duan, is this Sister Jiachen the one who saved you last time, why does it seem that she doesn't like me a little, is there something wrong with me?" As if feeling the struggle in Duan Jian's heart, Wang Wanjun asked.

"Hahaha, don't worry, Sister Jiachen is just in a bad mood because she has something at home, and she didn't mean to target you, besides, our Wanjun is so beautiful and cute, who wouldn't like us Wanjun?" Duan Jian replied with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Out of her consistent trust in Duan Jian, Wang Wanjun's simple mind didn't think too much, but subconsciously, she hugged Duan Jian's arm in her hand even tighter, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes.

"Niangniang, Her Royal Highness the princess has been separated from that extraordinary section, and is coming like us in a carriage." In the gorgeous carriage, Shangguan Wan'er was telling the queen of heaven Wu Zetian about all the actions of Princess Li Lingyue of Taiping.

Hearing Shangguan Wan'er's report, Wu Zetian just nodded lightly, although her face was calm, Shangguan Wan'er, who was familiar with her emotions, still felt from her that she was thinking about something, "Wan'er, you said that the relationship between Twelve Niang and that extraordinary relationship is really that simple, just saved his life?" Half a day later, Wu Zetian asked softly.

Although Wu Zetian's tone was very soft, Shangguan Wan'er heard the dissatisfaction implied in this sentence. Her heart was like lightning, Shangguan Wan'er was thinking about how to answer in her heart to dispel Wu Zetian's suspicion of Duan Jian in this matter, but on the other hand, she was secretly complaining about Duan Jian, she had nothing to do, and it was not good to do anything when she was idle, so she had to have a relationship with Princess Taiping, Wu Zetian's favorite daughter, so as to implicate her to suffer.

Shangguan Wan'er is not an easy person, and she came up with a smooth answer in the blink of an eye, "Niangniang, according to the slave's understanding, Her Royal Highness the princess has indeed met with that Duan Bufan only once, and then she has never seen it again, and that Duan Bufan does not know the identity of Her Royal Highness the Princess, and it is indeed a coincidence to meet today, the reason why Her Royal Highness the Princess is so excited is probably because she has been too depressed in the palace for a long time, and she is just happy to see a person who can talk to her without scruples." ”

Regarding Shangguan Wan'er's answer, Wu Zetian was noncommittal, just nodded and said, "Hey, I hope that's really the case, otherwise, it will make it a little difficult for the palace to do, forget it, don't worry about this matter for now, let's go back to the palace quickly, just now the news came from the inner servant, saying that there is a big event in the imperial court, and now the war at the northern border is tight, and there must be no accidents at this time." ”

Wu Zetian gave an order, and the carriage suddenly sped up and galloped towards the palace.

...............................

In the spring of 681 AD, in the second year of Yonglong of Tang Gaozong, a very influential event happened, that is, Chang'an City ran out of food.

The lack of food here does not mean that all the people in Chang'an City have nothing to eat, but that the food reserves in Chang'an City are insufficient.

As the largest city in the world, Chang'an City is rumored to have a population of as many as one million, and the daily consumption of food and materials can be described as an astronomical amount.

It stands to reason that Chang'an City, as the capital of the Tang Dynasty, is unlikely to run out of food, but an accident happened. Chang'an City is located in the fertile Guanzhong Plain, both the Qin and Han dynasties and the Tang Dynasty are dependent on this land and dominate the world, but after more than a thousand years of development and destruction, this fertile land, has gradually unable to afford more and more people's needs for him, so, in the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City's grain has been unable to be self-sufficient, can only be subsidized by foreign food.

There are two main channels to reach Chang'an's grain, one is from the land of Bashu through the plank road, the grain is transported to Chang'an, but this road is very difficult, Li Bai's poem "Shu Road Difficult" which begins with the writing 'Shu Road is difficult, it is difficult to go to the blue sky. 'Transporting grain from Bashu to Chang'an City is not only time-consuming and laborious, but also very cost-effective, so except for a very rare occasion, the imperial court will not transport grain from Bashu at all.

Therefore, another road has become the main source of grain in Chang'an City, that is, the grain in the south of the Yangtze River is transferred to the eastern capital of Luoyang through the canal, and then along the Yellow River, the grain will be transported to Chang'an City upstream.

It's just that now, even this road has a problem, don't talk about the origin of the Yellow River water, that is after the snow on the iceberg melts, it flows down, but unlike previous years, this year's temperature is heating up very quickly, just half a month, from the cold winter to spring, for people, this is a good sign, but for the river, it is not so good.

The temperature rises quickly, the speed of melting of the snow-capped mountains is fast, the consequence is that the Yellow River water that should flow slowly, in the spring the amount of water actually increases greatly, if only increase some of the water is nothing, the big deal is that the water level rises a little, this situation is good in the place where the river is wide, and it is not so good to the narrow place of the river, and in the Yellow River, there are many such places, the most critical place is not far from Chang'an City, and it is also a place where Chang'an City and Luoyang City must pass through the Yellow River, Sanmenxia.

The terrain of Sanmenxia is narrow, when the river level is slow, when the boat is sailing, everyone is cautious, and when the water volume increases greatly, it becomes a ghost gate, no matter what boat, when it arrives here, it can only be swallowed, and the boat is destroyed and people die.
