In the following days, Wang Yuan traveled to various banquets and gathering places, mingling with the ministers of the court. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Whenever there is a banquet invited, Wang Yuan will not refuse, even if Wang Yuan knows that some of them are Li Linfu's henchmen or people with other intentions, Wang Yuan will not refuse to come.

Compared with Wang Yuan's courtesan-like behavior, Gao Xianzhi is completely different. In Beijing for a few days, except for necessary official business, Gao Xianzhi would never accept any banquets, but sat in the pavilion. Five days after coming to the capital, Gao Xianzhi had no official business to do, and was harassed by all forces, and he was worried about the military and political affairs of the two provinces, and he was already like an arrow.

Wang Yuan knew that he couldn't keep him, so he took out a day to accompany Gao Xianzhi to visit all the famous places in the capital, and set up a special family banquet to entertain Gao Xianzhi's brothers and sisters in the evening. At the banquet, Gao Xianzhi asked Wang Yuan and his wife to take care of Gao Moyan, because Gao Xianzhi planned to gallop back quickly, and Gao Moyan would delay the trip if he went back. In addition, Xiao Qimei herself also wanted to stay in the capital for a few days and play for a few days, so she wanted to stay in the capital and leave Beijing with Wang Yuan and them.

Of course, Wang Yuan agreed. Although this little seventh sister of the Gao family is unforgiving, she is actually a very good object to chat and relieve boredom. The views on matters are also unique, not as tasteless and hateful as ordinary women.

The next morning, Gao Xianzhi entered the palace to bid farewell to Xuanzong, and Wang Yuan took people to the ten-mile long pavilion in Nancheng to practice wine, and said goodbye.

Looking at Gao Xianzhi's back as he left in a hurry, Wang Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "Brother is really a strange person, this is like running away." Other foreign officials came to Kyoto to wait for a few days, and the court would not let them go, so he was in a hurry to leave. His Majesty's special permission for the noble concubine Niangniang's birthday banquet did not participate. ”

Gao Moyan sighed lightly on the side: "My brother is such a person, he is uncomfortable in the capital, and he is still in the land of Anxi, and the military is more suitable for him." It's okay to leave, but if you stay for a few more days, I'm afraid I'm going to get sick. ”

……

After a few days, Wang Yuan had been in the capital for seven days since he arrived in Beijing on September 23. Except for the first two days, the days that followed were peaceful. Eat, drink, play and have fun, the rhythm of life in the capital is completely different from that of Jiannan. After the wine, food, banquet and gathering, Wang Yuan couldn't help but sigh, how can such a day not make people feel that the world is peaceful, and how can people arouse ambition. It is no wonder that the top and bottom officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee are thinking about how to enjoy the benefits instead of making great efforts. This is the principle of being born in sorrow and dying in peace.

There is one thing that Wang Yuan has always been very puzzled about, and that is about the Shenwei Cannon and the Thunderbolt. On that day, the court was ready for Li Linfu to mention this matter, but Li Linfu did not mention a word about this matter from beginning to end, which made Wang Yuan feel that he was punched empty. It stands to reason that Li Linfu should not let go of such an opportunity, even if he doesn't mention it, he will instruct his subordinates to mention it, but he didn't mention a word, which makes people feel uneasy.

Perhaps it was the expensive public opinion that he created that reached Li Linfu's ears, and Li Linfu felt that it was useless to mention it, and it was impossible for the imperial court to spend a lot of money to equip such siege equipment. Although it was powerful, the imperial court had not yet reached the point where it was necessary.

Since no one mentioned this matter, Wang Yuan didn't want to cause trouble, so it was best for everyone not to mention it, otherwise it would inevitably destroy this peaceful state. As for the secret of the fire side, Wang Yuan intends to defend it to the death.

In the days from September to October, the weather in the capital changes extremely rapidly. It seems that in the blink of an eye, autumn is quickly gone. As the wind blowing from the north became more and more harsh, the color of Chang'an City changed from dark green to orange and yellow, and then to a gray color. A few days ago, the people were only wearing autumn clothes with shirts and coats, and then suddenly they all put on jackets, and their walking posture changed from holding their heads high to shrinking their heads.

However, the arrival of the severe cold did not prevent the heat of one thing from rising, that is, the birthday of the noble concubine. The first day of October is Yang Guifei's birthday. In fact, Yang Guifei's real birthday is the first day of the sixth month, but the day when the concubine left Princess Shou to enter the Taizhen Temple and became Miaoni Taizhen was the first day of October, so since then, the birthday of the concubine has become the first day of October.

There is a special point in this, although it is counterintuitive to change it to the birthday of the first day of October, but it has a good meaning. On this day, Yang Yuhuan faded from the identity of Princess Shou and became a free body. It also heralds a new birth. It is set as the first day of October, which is the day when Yang Yuhuan was reborn. Since that day, she has become a woman of Xuanzong. It can be said to be a new life, or it can be said to have entered a different kind of life.

In fact, few people know about this matter, and I am afraid that no one knows the inside story except for the relatives of the parties and the concubine. But Wang Yuan knew, because Mrs. Qin Guo had said these things when she was chatting with Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan was stunned and couldn't help but feel that people in this year were really a little dull. changed his birthday, Yang Yuhuan is not Yang Yuhuan? Can she erase the past when she was Princess Shou? Can you erase Xuanzong's ugly behavior of occupying his daughter-in-law? This matter is eighty percent of Xuanzong's self-deceptive order, otherwise I'm afraid that no one will think of doing such a boring thing.

In any case, Concubine Fangchen is a big deal. For this matter, the whole court, inside and outside the palace, has been very busy, ready to celebrate. During this time, congratulatory watches from officials inside and outside Beijing flew to the capital like snowflakes, all of which were congratulatory on this matter. Literati from all over the world wrote poems and sent them to congratulate. Some people have to do it, some people do it sincerely, and more people hope to find a promotion through this opportunity.

Congratulatory gifts from various places also arrived in Beijing before the end of September. Gold and silver jewelry, jade three colors, Shu embroidery Zhejiang thorns, coral sea pearls, these needless to say. The lychee, which is the concubine's favorite food, also arrived from Lingnan, and when she arrived in the capital, the leaves were green and the fruits were pink, and they were extremely fresh.

There are countless other things such as strange flowers, plants, strange stones, and playthings, as well as all kinds of auspicious things to meet the occasion. The cultivators of Zhongnan Mountain reported that they saw the immortals descending on the mountain and blessed the noble concubine Niangniang; The monks in the temple reported that the Buddha opened his eyes and said that Sanskrit sounds; What other iron trees bloom, birds speak out of people's words, the sky offers colorful clouds, located in sweet springs, turtle carved proverbs, etc., there are simply too many to count.

Wang Yuan almost lost his anger when he laughed at home after learning about these so-called auspicious signs, and there was a war of words with the little seventh sister of the Gao family for this reason. Gao Moyan thinks that Wang Yuan is disrespectful to auspicious signs, although this kind of thing is a bit far-fetched, but it may not be all nonsense. There are many auspicious signs recorded in ancient books, all of which are accompanied by major events, and Wang Yuan should not laugh at these things, which is also disrespectful to the imperial court.

Wang Yuan's answer to Gao Moyan was: "It is better to believe in books than to have no books, the things in the books may not be believed, books are written by people, and people can talk nonsense." Moreover, people will create many false things in order to meet the situation, but in fact, they are just self-interested. ”

Although Gao Moyan was reluctant to admit defeat in his mouth, he also thought so in his heart. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that some things are fake, but everyone is just pretending to be confused, and no one wants to make trouble in this matter.

In addition to offering treasures and auspicious greeting watches, many officials also rushed to the capital, even if they knew that they could not enter the palace at all, and could not see His Majesty and the concubine, they also expressed their congratulations to the concubine Fangchen in this form. Of course, those on the list of concubines arrived in the capital at the end of September. Basically, several major festivals and envoys, and the heads of each province are on the list. And Wang Yuan also got the news that An Lushan had arrived in the capital.

Wang Yuan's first reaction when he got the news of An Lushan's arrival in Beijing was that this guy was really cunning. Even if he was intensively preparing for a rebellion, he would still take the risk to come to the capital to paralyze Xuanzong and his ministers and dispel Xuanzong's doubts. Ordinary people would not have ventured to the capital at this time, because he had heavy troops and Yang Guozhong couldn't move his soldiers and horses, Yang Guozhong had already blown the wind in Xuanzong's ears, suggesting that An Lushan had bad intentions. Of course, this is just Yang Guozhong's flattery, Yang Guozhong doesn't really think that An Lushan will rebel. Yang Guozhong still said in Xuanzong's ear that he would not dare to come at this time to summon An Lushan into Beijing. Now that An Lushan is here, Yang Guozhong's words are self-defeating, and presumably Xuanzong will be relieved, and he will never listen to anyone's bad words about An Lushan again.

All in all, the entire capital, it should be said that the entire Tang Dynasty is making a big fuss about the birth of the concubine. Except for the Empress Wu Zetian Emperor of the year, Datang is afraid that there is no second woman who will get the attention of so many people and will become the focus of discussion in the world. is this twenty-eight-year-old woman, but she has become the focus of envy of the people of Datang for a long time, and it has to be said that it is an outlier. However, whether this kind of universal attention is good or bad, whether it is a curse or a blessing, I am afraid that only God knows.
