Chapter 187: Who Is He?
Inherit the remnants of the Six Dynasties. Although it is difficult for the Gaomen clan between the Sui and Tang dynasties to be as beautiful as the Wei, Jin and Six Dynasties. But the power of the gate valve is still not to be underestimated. For example, in "Clan Chronicles", the Qinghe Cui clan is recommended as the world's first high-ranking family. and the Hebei Lu family, the Li family and the Zheng family, which are also known as the four great families.
It is the same as the four families of Cui Lu Li and Zheng in Hebei Province. Jingzhao Wei's is also a very prominent Gaomen giant family since the Tang Dynasty. Although in Shilin and the public's word of mouth. Webster is nowhere near as good as the four surnames. But if it is only about political influence. The four surnames are also difficult to reach the Wei family.
From the beginning of Gaozu Taiyuan's rebellion against the Sui. There are many Wei clansmen who follow them. Nearly 100 years after that. As the head snake of the earth, the Jingzhao Wei clan has emerged one after another. Especially after this generation of Wei family women entered the harem. Jingzhao Webster is even more prosperous.
After all, they are the people of the district of goodness at the feet of the Son of Heaven. And because of the opening up of the Tang Dynasty. There's no such thing as a speech ban, a text prison or anything. Therefore, the people in Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty had the same hobby as the Beijingers in later generations. He likes to ponder, inquire and discuss military affairs in the court. It's not. These two days are just in time for the grand court meeting held on the first and fifteenth days of the new year. After the court meeting, the people of Chang'an inquired and talked about the most about the edict of the four generals of the left and right guards of the Royal Forest Army.
The original four generals were all removed. Two of the four people on the replacement were surnamed Wei. One surnamed Wu. It's not lice on a bald headβit's a blatant thing. Nowadays, who in Manjing City does not know that since the abolition of the prince last year, the palace changed and killed Wu Sansi. Empress Wei has already collected all the power of the Wu clan. It has become a veritable group "leader." As for one of the four people, there is also a surname Gao. That's just a cover-up. This tall man is a hardcore confidant of the queen's mother.
It was after Wu Sansi's death last year. Wei Houdi joined the political hall from his brother Wei Wen. Then there were more and more temple supervisors in the imperial city who were controlled by the Wei people. It's good right now. Empress Wei didn't even let go of the Imperial Forest Army. After completing this extremely important placement. Whether it's civil or military. But they were all tightly held in the palm of the queen's hand.
For the rise of the Wei people and the content of the edict itself. The people of Chang'an didn't make a fuss. What's all the fuss about? We also passed through the former dynasty. What haven't you seen? Today's Empress Wei is playing this set of things is just an imitation of Dong Shi. Let's talk about it. This dynasty is simply a copy of the previous dynasty. There's nothing new about everything! I really have to say anything different. That is, His Majesty the current Emperor is even more cowardly than his Laozi Emperor Gaozong.
After all, when Emperor Gaozong was still alive in the former dynasty. The first queen Wu Zetian was so powerful, and a woman didn't dare to steal men openly; The current emperor is good. Queen Wei is known to steal from everyone. He can still accompany the queen and the wild man to laugh casually. I don't know if he really doesn't know or if he doesn't know. All in all. The one that the cuckold wears is called a happy and comfortable.
Speaking of which. The funniest thing about His Majesty the Son of Heaven is that he can tolerate his wife stealing people. But he couldn't stand others saying that his wife stole people. That's it. Three of the imperial historians and officials who sued the queen for defiling the harem have died. Two of them were beaten to death with a cane. The other is to be thrown alive.
It is said that Fang Jinzi was relegated to Fangzhou for 14 years. Every time I heard that there was a messenger in Chang'an, I thought it was sent by the mother emperor to give him death. It's because every time I'm so frightened that my face turns pale and I cry. Later, because he couldn't bear this huge psychological pressure, he came up with the idea of begging for death. It's all up to Queen Wei to comfort her. It was only then that he managed to survive fourteen years of exile. The Emperor is such a coward. The people of Chang'an no longer have any hope that the Son of Heaven will suddenly cheer up. The most talked about in daily life is always to guess whether Queen Wei can successfully complete her mother-in-law's old path. Will there be a second female emperor in the Tang Dynasty?
Besides. After this pilgrimage. A new hot topic of discussion among the people is Wei Bo Four. What are you talking about? Talking and talking, they all said that the queen mother was really a bit. It's easy to understand that you have to hold on to the Guards. But I'm going to send a few decent ones. How could one of these four people know the army? As far as the Merriam-Webster brothers are concerned, they have to be docile mares. Can you lead the unruly royal forest?
Such a topic certainly adds a lot of fun to the discussants after tea and dinner. But listening to the ears of the person concerned is not a taste at all. Holding a calfskin horsewhip inlaid with gold and jade. Wei Bo quietly listened to the discussions in the people's doctrine. Bai Jing's face looked very calm. But his white hand, which was holding the whip, betrayed his mood.
When people mentioned that there was a heated discussion about the old incident of falling from a horse three years ago. Wei Bo, who has been trying his best to shape a calm temperament these days, can't help it anymore. There was a crisp sound. The jet-black horsewhip had already been whipped in the face. "Get out!".
The subordinate held his bloody face and walked away. The whip in Wei Bo's hand then rained down on the handsome room. Until the paper that was smoked in a good room flew around. The table and chairs were crooked, and then they stopped panting.
Cheap. It's all fucking sluts. These guards of the Imperial Guards who disobey him will be sluts. He could see the contempt in their eyes. From generals to ordinary soldiers; The people who talked about him were also cheap. It's all three years ago. It's worth turning it over and saying it now; And the cousins in the clan are also cheap. They are clearly red-eyed. I can't wait to mess up this errand myself. Then make room for them.
Cheap. A bunch of sluts. Lao Tzu sucked you to death!
Seeing Wei Bo big thunder. There is an example of the subordinate just now. None of his guards and long-term followers dared to come up to join in the fun. They all took the opportunity to sneak out and hide. Not to mention the captains of the Royal Forest on duty. Eyes and nose. The nose and mind suddenly became deaf and mute. Only from the slightly upturned corners of his mouth can he barely see some clues.
That's when it happened. But a man broke into Wei Bo's room. "Get out". Didn't even look at it. At the same time as Wei Bo roared. The whip in his hand had been whipped with a screech.
The whip fell short. Immediately, I heard a rather clear voice sound: "Fifth brother." Why are you so grumpy? βγ
"Old Seven. What are you doing here? βγ After seeing the people coming clearly. Wei Bo collected the whip that he was about to draw again. Said angrily: "The third uncle is gone?" βγ
"Gone". The seventh child in Wei Bo's mouth was Wei who was sent to the Imperial Forest Army with him. In the Wei family's generation of brothers, line seven. After taking out a stool and sitting down in the mess. Wei Hehe smiled and said, "This fifth brother is so lucky." The third uncle didn't come to you. Poor brother, I'm miserable. was held by the third uncle for more than two hours. My back still hurts."
Seeing Wei's bitter face. Wei Bo was in a much better mood when he smiled. "The third uncle is really. You and my brother are all forty years old. He also trained his grandson to be in the same ear as his grandson for three days. I'm not afraid that others will see the joke." Speaking of watching jokes. Wei Bo's face sank again. "What did the old man say today?"
"It's not that old-fashioned. Talk about unifying the army. Talk about the art of war. It's just different from what it used to be. The old man also left homework when he walked today. Fifth brother, guess what it is? βγ
"Staying on school?". Wei Bo was really a little crying and laughing when he heard this. "Don't sell it. Hurry up and say".
"The Biography of Li Guang" in "Historical Records". The third uncle wants us to read this again in combination with the experience of the local army after taking office. After three days, he's going to test his experience."
As soon as I heard the words "Li Guangchuan". The depression in Wei Bo's chest couldn't help but explode any longer. "It's "Li Guangchuan" again. It is also necessary to undress his subordinates. Push the food to eat. Old Seven. We've been doing this since we entered the Royal Forest Army camp. In the past few days, my face has been smiling when I pretend to be my third grandson. But if you look at those chaff-eating hiccupes, do you have one of them? What else does the third uncle want us to do? Do we have to go and sleep in a barracks with those hiatus? Eat the same pot of rice. And then go and lick the sores for them? βγ
Listen to Wei Bo talk about licking sores. Wei interjected with a twitching face: "Fifth brother." You're disgusting."
"Disgusting? That's what Li Guang did. This is what the third uncle wants us to do." Wei Bo's anger today is really impulsive.
"How so". Wei saw that Wei was too angry. Then he smiled softly and said, "Fifth brother." Eliminate gas. It's just that the third uncle is a little bit. After all, it's for our good? This verse needs to be clarified first."
Mouths spoke. Wei had already stood up, scooped up a stool, and pressed Wei Bo to sit down. "This time, the queen can choose you and me from the clan to take charge of the Royal Forest Army. You don't need your brother to say that this is important. At the very least, it is our face and future prospects. To Dali is the fortune of the clan. It doesn't matter where you think about it. We all have to get this errand done by Meimei. But although you and my brother have a martial lord on them. But no one really led a soldier. The third uncle is an old soldier. If it weren't for his age. I'm afraid that this errand won't be our turn. He can't be wrong. Think about that Li Guang again. Isn't it a celebrity? βγ
At this time, he can be elected to lead the Imperial Forest. Even if it is the result of cronyism. That Wei Bo is not too bad. Although a little grumpy. But people are not stupid. With Wei said. His face was still very bad. But the whole person was quiet.
Looked at. Wei hit the railway while it was hot: "Fifth brother, don't be discouraged. Come as I want. It's not that we're doing it wrong. It's just that the arrival time at the camp is too short. Huairou, who undresses and pushes food, is a water mill kung fu. As long as we can keep going. Ten days will not work, twenty days. One month doesn't work, two months. Are you still afraid that this group of coarse people will not return to their hearts? βγ
"You old seven!". Reach out and slap Wei on the arm. Wei Bo stood up. "I'm not saying that I won't listen to the third uncle. I just sulk when I think about the days when I hold my temper every day."
"When you are stuffy, go out and go around". Talking with a smile in his mouth. Wei had pushed the door open first. "Fifth brother still remembers what happened a few days ago, why don't I accompany you to see what is going on today."
After changing into their regular clothes, the two brothers went out of the camp on horseback. It didn't take long to turn into Suzaku Street, and I gradually arrived at the most prosperous place in the city.
Wei Bo and Wei didn't care about the bustle on the side of the road. Instead, they headed straight for the biggest intersection in the city. This crossroads is bordered by the Imperial City to the north. It is bordered by Mingde Gate to the south. To the west, it is connected to the Daozheng Square where dignitaries gathered. It is adjacent to the most prosperous east and west cities in Chang'an in the east. It can be said to be the focus of the entire imperial capital.
Far from the crossroads. Wei Bo had already looked at the highest wooden pavilion on the east side of the intersection. Unfortunately, the distance between the ground and the ground is too far. He could see the huge curtain hanging outside the pavilion. But the content on the curtain is not clear.
After walking forward for a while. Wei Bo heard Wei Haha, the seventh brother beside him, laugh and say, "It's changed." Sure enough, it changed again! It turned out to be her. Fifth brother. This made the people in the city guess for several days that the woman turned out to be the top brand of Yangzhou Happy Building. She's in the capital."
At this time, Wei Bo could already read the words on the curtain clearly. Not really. On the curtain that could be clearly seen ten miles away. Except that the graceful back picture of the lady remains unchanged. The black characters below the picture have changed again compared to yesterday.
It's also a day monster. Just a few days ago. Suddenly, such a three-story highland curtain hung up on the outside of this tall building. Almost half of the building was wrapped up, and the building was clothed. That's eye-catching enough in itself. What's even more eye-catching is that this huge curtain is even painted with the back of a lady in palace costumes.
You can see it. The man who made this strange curtain had clearly made a bloody effort. He invited to draw this picture of a lady, and the painter was undoubtedly a master. Although only the back. But the graceful curves. The beauty of the graceful figure is vividly portrayed. So much so that the people who saw this back invariably had an idea - a back figure is already so beautiful. So what kind of alluring country should her appearance be? Who is she?
Oh, yes. Who is she? These three words are the first day after the curtain is hung. There are only three words under the back picture of the lady - who is she?
The conscience of heaven and earth. Although there are many strange things in Chang'an City. But it is really the first time that such a large curtain is hung out of thin air in the bustling downtown like this. Not to mention that there is such a beautiful woman with a back painted on this curtain. All of a sudden. As soon as the curtain came out, it immediately attracted countless passers-by to watch. People are eagerly talking about how the hell is that madman wasting so much cloth at the same time. It is inevitable that they will guess what kind of face the lady with the back will look like if she turns her head.
Of course. There are also those who are anxious to see the three words under the curtain and scold. Grey Sun's. What the hell! Since you have wasted so much cloth and made such a big battle. Anyway, I'll give you a thorough understanding. What to sell birds!
Who is she? your eighth-generation ancestors. You ask me. Lao Tzu asked who to go.
After all, it was the first time in the world. After this piece of cloth curtain was hung out in the most prosperous place in Chang'an. Surprising and inexplicable. Curious and incomprehensible. There is a guess with relish. There are also those who are angry and scolding. But regardless of the reaction of various people, etc. A common fact: they were all covered by this piece of curtain. In particular, the graceful woman on the curtain attracted attention. Everyone has curiosity.
One pass ten. Ten to hundred. Within a day. I don't know how many people in Chang'an City came to see the excitement caused by this large curtain. Wait until it gets dark. The hustle and bustle under the high-rise buildings gradually subsided.
The next morning. The door opens. When someone walked back up to this bustling crossroads to look at the curtain. It was only then that the back picture of the lady on the curtain was shocked, although it had not changed. But the words below the picture have quietly changed. Yesterday's three words have now become eleven. In addition to the new "National Color. Yan leaning Jiangnan" outside the eight words. What remains unchanged is the last three words - who is she?
When did the people of the Tang Dynasty go through such an advertisement? For them who don't have any advertising immunity at all. After the curtain was put on like this. This curiosity is further aroused. Fuck. If only you knew who the artist of this back picture was? There was a deal of manyman rushing over to get him out. Let's talk about what kind of country this woman looks like.
By yes. Some anxious idlers ran to the high-rise building that was originally a wine store to inquire. I want to make some news. The result was a big disappointment for them. In the past, the lively liquor store was actually locked inside. Don't talk about finding someone to inquire. You just can't get in.
Fuck. You're ruthless. Lao Tzu is even more ruthless.
At that moment, someone went to Jingzhao Yamen to reason. I want to ask the yamen to come forward and take off this shocking curtain. As a result, when the people in the yamen heard the words, they ignored them. After asking in a hurry, he suddenly put out a sentence: "Which article and paragraph in "Tang Law" wrote that no one is allowed to hang a curtain outside the building?" It's getting in the way of your aisle. Or is it holding you back from eating? βγ
That's it. smashed those anxious and resentful idlers to a stumble.
Neither of these tricks worked. The idlers could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, and watched the curtain attract more and more people. On the morning of the third day. The words on the curtain have changed again. It's just that this time it's not about beauty. Rather, it is to praise the special skills of the back lady in music and poetry. The same is the three words at the end.
Who is she?
The fourth day was about dancing. As for the three words at the end. Needless to say, you know it's not going to change.
Such a huge curtain was born. Then with each day the handwriting on the curtain changed. People's curiosity is being stirred up more and more. It's all a problem over and over again. This country is unique. Yan leans into the south of the Yangtze River. Who is the woman who is good at singing and dancing?
down for a few days on end. There is hardly a single person in Chang'an who does not know this curtain. The appetite hangs to the fullest. When curiosity accumulates to the limit. This is the answer.
Seven weavings. It turns out that this lady with a back is the top red aunt Qizhi of Yangzhou Happy Building.
For the dignitaries and wealthy who have been to Yangzhou and can afford to see Qiweaving. The curtain in front of them evoked all their impressions of that naturally seductive woman. And for those who haven't seen Nanori. The natural mind of human nature is to see with their own eyes whether she is as good as the curtain says.
After reading the words on the curtain with your own eyes. Weber pointed at the curtain with his horsewhip. couldn't help but lean sideways on horseback and smiled at Wei: "This guy is dead." You see. That's it."
Wei was sitting on the horse, while listening to the chaotic discussion of the crowd around him. While looking up at the last sentence on the curtain:
The country comes from the north. Where do the flowers bloom?
"I'm afraid this is the last hurdle to sell." After saying this with a smile. Wei looked at the curtain carefully. After carefully scanning the surrounding disturbing and lively crowds. Thinking of something, he pointed to the curtain and smiled, "Fifth brother." Chen Ziang, a talented man in the former dynasty, said that the daughter of the daughter of the piano did not have the effect of coaxing the city! The one who came up with this idea was definitely a brilliant guy. But he had the intelligence to make a name for himself as a courtesan. It's a pity."
For Wei Bo, this curtain was originally just a joke. At this time, listen to Wei say this. After thinking about it carefully. Then he also said calmly: "What Lao Qi said makes sense. Dare to come out in the most lively place in the imperial capital, such an unprecedented big movement. In addition to being able to be surprising. Courage is also indispensable. Otherwise, you wouldn't have thought of being here. Besides. This daily change of a few words is deceptively simple. But it is tightly grasping people's hearts. Even you and my brother are in." That's it. After the whip swept through the lively crowd at the crossroads. "Look at it. Up to now. Nanori didn't even show his face. She didn't even know she was there. This woman is already popular all over Chang'an. Hey. Don't talk about encountering such a thing. I haven't even heard of it. Think about it like this. The people who do all this are really not ordinary smart! But as you said, Seventh Brother. This person's ingenuity can only be used for this. It seems that he is also unwilling."
"Smart people aren't necessarily good. But for you and my brother. Now it is certainly good to meet smart people who are not willing." After an inexplicable smile. Wei waved his horsewhip. beckoned a long man and leaned over to explain a few words. Then he saw the chief running away.
Wei Bo obviously guessed Wei's thoughts. smiled helplessly and sighed: It's not the intrigue between the various houses and relatives in the clan. Why don't you and my brother come out to hang out and be so unconscious
Wei Bo just finished saying this. Didn't wait for Wei to answer. I heard a surprised voice from the crowd under the horse: "So the two adults are here?" That's good. That's good."
Wei Bo turned his head to see the person with a surprised face. His face changed: "Wu Shuangyu." You are not good to be born and serve in the Furong Building. What are you doing here? But something happened to Miss Panpan? βγ
This Wu Pisces is the turtle man in the Furong Building of Pingkangfang, who is responsible for serving the top red aunt Liang Panpan. Sniff and ask. He just said, "Something happened." Immediately, Wei Bo grabbed the collar on his chest. Seeing that the situation is not right. The guy hurriedly followed: "The girl is fine. It's just that someone gave her a war letter to pick a brand. The girl was unsure of her mind for a moment. So I told the younger ones to come and invite the two adults."
"Pick a brand?". Hearing Wu Shuangyu's words. Erwei was stunned. There are people in this capital who dare to pick Liang Panpan's brand?
Walk into Pingkangfang, a fireworks gathering place in Beijing. The first thing you will see is a wall made of hollow brick walls. This piece of land is not large. Hanging on it are the flower cards of the famous aunts in the workshop. There are nearly 50,000 prostitutes in Pingkang Fang. Although there are also prostitutes in each building, there are also points that cannot be scored. But only after hanging the flower card on the wall in front of the door. Only a prostitute can deserve to be called a scarlet letter. This small wall is divided into two parts. The bottom half is neatly hung with forty flower plaques. And in the upper part of the wall is more strikingly illuminated. There is only one flower card in the huge space. And the owner of this flower card is the center of the yearning of the guests. It's also the whole Pingkangfang. The whole of Chang'an. Even the entire Northland is a well-deserved Oiran girl.
The so-called picking brand. It is to challenge the prostitutes who can be ranked on the wall. The challenged party determines the content of the competition. The challengers are in the order of competition. If the challenge is successful. The challenger can then take the place of the challenged person on the wall. Became popular in Chang'an overnight. The benefits that come with it are needless to mention. However, if the challenge fails. The challenger's green building not only has to pay a huge amount of money. And the challengers who have been painstakingly cultivated will not be allowed to re-enter the fireworks industry for the rest of their lives. And so on. The prostitute who failed to challenge was self-explanatory.
It is for this reason. Although there is a conventional system of picking brands. But Pingkangfang has really rarely had such a thing in recent years. After all, these prostitutes who can shine on the wall do not take the initiative to remove the sign for a day. That shows that the Qinglou where she is located still has absolute confidence in her. It also means that the prostitute itself is still strong. Newcomers challenge the top of the industry. And how easy is it? Not to mention, if the challenge fails, the result is even more unbearable for the prostitute.
There are fewer than forty places under the challenge wall. Not to mention the one-of-a-kind Oiran above. What is it that stands out among the 50,000 prostitutes? What is the difference between such a challenge and seeking death? Far away, don't say. Just for nearly thirty years. Who in the previous Oiran of Pingkangfang didn't pick up the brand himself?
As for picking the brand of the Oiran. That's a joke!
Something that hasn't been seen for decades was born suddenly. Let's reverse. In general, no one dares to pick the brand of Oiran. However, when someone does do so. That means that those who dare to challenge must not be ordinary.
The position of Oiran is so important for a prostitute. It's not just about the current earnings. It also pins on their hopes of good and bad after old age and decay. This makes Liang Panpan unflustered. And the first thing she thought of after panicking was naturally Erwei, the most solid backer.
With Wu Shuangyu galloping all the way to Pingkangfang Furong Building. After walking into Liang Panpan's room, who lived alone on the first floor. Wei Bo opened his mouth and asked, "Who wants to pick the brand?" βγ
I saw that the two Wei brothers arrived. Liang Panpan's expression was a lot more relaxed. A tactful and beautiful voice said: "It's not the people in this workshop who want to pick the brand." It is the seven weavings from Yangzhou Happy Building to Beijing".
"Nanori?". After hearing such a flower name. The two Wei brothers glanced at each other. He didn't speak for a moment. When Liang Panpan was at a loss. I saw Wei suddenly burst out laughing. "Fifth brother. After all, we underestimated this man. He didn't just want to make a name for Nanori. After seeing this serial arrangement, the thought was to let Nanori ascend to the position of Oiran in one fell swoop. What a surprising means. What a big appetite and mind! βγ
Wei Bo nodded when he heard this. Nanori he's seen it. Although because of his youth, it is inevitable that he is not as good as Liang Panpan in singing and dancing skills. But her looks. Especially the natural charm, which Liang Panpan can't reach. Originally, it was a factor of geographical advantages and people. As a land snake, Liang Panpan will definitely be able to stabilize the Qizhi head from afar. But after these few days......
Now all over Chang'an City are talking about Qiweaving. What is Oiran? It's the same as other talents and calligraphy and painting national players. In the final analysis, Oiran is also popular. According to the comprehensive assessment, Qiweaving is no worse than Liang Panpan. This time, he came to challenge with such a huge momentum that was hotly discussed in the city. The result......
Come to think of it. looked at Liang Panpan, who was gently tugging at his sleeve. Wei Bo's sudden thought was: Who used such an unbelievable method to make Qizhi face popular all over the capital. What is the person who does all this like?
