Chapter 6 Chang'an is good

readx;

Qujiang is located in the southeast of Chang'an. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

As early as the Qin Dynasty, the royal forbidden garden, Yichun Garden, and the famous palace, Yichun Lower Garden, were built here.

At the beginning of the second year of the emperor's reign, Daxing City was built against the Qujiang River.

Emperor Wen of Sui was suspicious and superstitious about feng shui. Daxing City is high in the southeast and northwest in the northwest, and from the perspective of Feng Shui, the dragon qi tends to the southeast. Because the harem is set up in the middle of the north side, it cannot overpower the oriental feng shui on the terrain.

So there was the most famous god stick at that time, that is, Zhang Qiu Taiyi in the Southern Yuan and Northern Lu, and tried to take the means of disgust to destroy. For example, the Qujiang River was dug into a deep pond and separated from the outside of the city, enclosing it to become a royal forbidden garden. In this way, the dragon qi of the Sui Dynasty can be kept from being threatened. Three years after the emperor's reign, after Emperor Wen of Sui entered the new capital, he thought that the word 'qu' was unlucky, so he ordered Prime Minister Gao Ying to change it. Because the lotus flower is in full bloom in the Qujiang Pond, and the lotus flower is also known as hibiscus. After thinking about it for a long time, Gao Ying renamed Qujiang Pond Furong Garden, which is closely connected to Daxing City.

The downstream of the pond water flows into the city, which is one of the water sources in the southeast of Chang'an.

In the period of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang asked Huang Yan to carve various ornaments in the Qujiang Pond, and the monarchs and ministers enjoyed the fun of drinking in the Qujiang River on the bank of the Yinqu Pond, and introduced the story of the literati in the Northern and Southern Dynasties into the palace.

However, since the second year of Wude, Li Yuan gradually opened the Furong Garden, and even ordered the expansion of the scale of the Furong Garden.

In this way, Qujiang Liushui is no longer a unique pleasure of the royal family. The royal family, monks, commoners, and Hu people all gathered here, becoming a very unique scenery in Chang'an.

In the third year of Wude, Guanzhong and the Central Plains gradually calmed down.

Qujiang Pond has naturally become a favorite amusement place for Chang'an people. Or climb high and have fun, or meandering water, or boating on the water, or strolling along the two banks...... The sun is shining, the blue sky is cloudless, and the Qujiang pond is very lively.

Li Yanqing was dressed in a moon-white Bo collar coat, and sat on a flat boat with Fang Xuanling.

Shen Guang was dressed in black.

Zheng Hongyi added wine on the side and listened to the conversation between Li Yanqing and Fang Xuanling.

As a person in the imperial palace, Zheng Hongyi also has the position of Honglu Temple, and his rank is from the sixth grade. Speaking of which, this is also thanks to his various experiences on the Confessor's Desk back then. If he hadn't trained in the Sui Dynasty, he would not have been able to achieve his current position. Of course, the ingredients that Li Jiancheng sold to Li Yanqing are also included, otherwise it will be difficult for Zheng Hongyi to sit firmly.

Although Li Yuan did not recognize Sui Yang's status, Fang Xuanling, as the envoy of the princes of one side and the envoy of the hostile forces, naturally needed to be cautious about the meeting between Li Yanqing and Fang Xuanling. You have to be accompanied by an official from Honglu Temple. Nominally an escort, but in fact it is also meant to be surveillance. It's just that everyone knows Li Yanqing's identity, so they don't need to pay too much attention. But in terms of procedures, we still have to go a little, and some people in the province jump out to find faults.

Zheng Hongyi, as a temple from the sixth grade, and a member of the East Palace, is quite suitable.

It's just that by Yanqing's side, there is no right for Zheng Hongyi to speak. It's a good choice to be a wine commander.

Yan Qing is dressed and barefoot, quite a bit of Wei and Jin celebrities.

And Fang Xuanling is also very leisurely, leaning on the mast on the boat, spelling the newly brewed Yichun wine, without the demeanor of a messenger.

"It's been almost fifteen years!"

Li Yanqing smiled: "What's been almost fifteen years? ”

"Of course, it's been almost fifteen years since I left Chang'an...... Hehe, do you still remember, when Lao Du and I went to look for you? That was the first time I had left Chang'an since I was a junior sergeant. I haven't been back since......"

Fang Xuanling was eighteen years old as a jinshi, and he was nominated for the first time in the imperial examination since the founding of the Sui Dynasty.

After that, he served as a feather cavalry lieutenant, although he was only a military officer, but he stayed in Chang'an, waiting for an opportunity.

In his bones, Fang Xuanling's Chang'an complex is quite heavy.

Although the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River are good, after all, they can't compare to the prosperous weather of Chang'an!

Li Yanqing nodded disapprovingly, "How can you not remember?" ”

Back then, Xu Shiji served, Fang Xuanling paved paper, and Du Ruhan studied ink, which was also the happiest time in his life, except for the Dou family school.

Yan Qing's eyes were miserable, and he suddenly sang in a low voice: "Chang'an is good, the scenery is old?" ”

Zheng Hongyi and Fang Xuanling were stunned, looked up at Li Yanqing, and made a look of listening. You must know that since the war in the last years of the Great Cause, Li Yanqing has never had a poem. Fang Xuanling is an expert, although Zheng Hongyi is not as good as Fang Xuanling, but after all, he is a famous teacher and a student of Yan Shigu. Therefore, the literacy of this literati is still there.

Just listening to Yanqing's first sentence, the two knew that Li Yanqing would have a new work.

After Yan Qing finished singing this first sentence, he immediately sensed that something was wrong. His sentence was only inspired by feelings, and there was no idea of stealing poetry. But the first sentence had already been spoken, and Fang Xuanling and Zheng Hongyi both looked at him with anticipation, making him a little difficult to ride a tiger.

Closing his eyes, he was also a little helpless.

If you knew this was the case, why bother to show it?

Taking a deep breath, Yan Qing sang softly: "It is said that the river flowers are red and the river is as green as blue in spring, can you remember Chang'an?" ”

Bai Juyi's "Jiangnan Good".

However, Li Yanqing turned Jiangnan into Chang'an.

In terms of the mediocrity of the poems, some of them are not neat...... If it is an ordinary person singing, it will not be scolded to death.

But when it came out of Yanqing's mouth, it seemed to have a different taste.

People will say: This is the poetry style created by the innovation of the goose boy! Sometimes, that's where the benefits of fame come in. It just so happened that listening to this was another Fang Xuanling who was full of nostalgia for Chang'an. It's not so much a poem, but a singing of Fang Xuanling's heart. Qujiang is also a river, floating lotus flowers on the water surface, emerald green lotus leaves, reflecting the river water green as blue, also very suitable for the scene.

"It is said that the river flowers are red and the river is as green as blue in spring...... Can you remember Chang'an? ”

Fang Xuanling suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, leading to singing.

The singing echoed in the sky above the Qujiang River, attracting countless people to watch it.

"Hey, isn't the white-clothed man on the boat the king of Henan?"

"Do you recognize the King of Henan?"

"When I was in Luoyang before, I saw it a few times."

"Could it be that the king of Henan is writing poems for Chang'an...... It must be like this, if it is not the king of Henan, who can chant such a good poem? ”

The people of every place have an extremely strong local complex.

Everyone knows that Li Yanqing is the pride of Luoyang and Xingyang. He has done a lot of things in Luoyang and Xingyang, and he is accepted and respected by people. But in Luoyang, people have heard of Yanqing's name, but they don't have much feeling.

After all, for the people of Chang'an, Li Yanqing is an outsider.

But now, an outsider, an outsider who is famous all over the world, praises Chang'an so much in Chang'an City, which makes countless Chang'an people feel proud and proud.

You see, the king of Henan also thinks that Chang'an is good!

A painting boat and a boat staggered by. The painting boat is very large, and there is a yellow brocade flag on the bow of the boat, and the two sons of 'Xiangyang' are written on it.

A man and a woman walked out of the painting boat, the man was about thirty years old, almost forty years old.

The appearance of the birth is dignified and the appearance is extraordinary. And the women beside him are also in their thirties, but they can't be regarded as captivating the country and the city, but if you look closely, it's quite tasteful.

"On the boat, could it be the king of Henan, King Li Chitose?"

Li Yanqing was stunned when he heard this, and looked up in some amazement.

"Lord, this is the Xiangyang princess's painting boat, the person who spoke is the court's horse, Dou Dan!"

There is no doubt that the woman next to Dou Dan is the princess of Xiangyang? This Princess Xiangyang is Li Yuan's second daughter, but when it comes to status, it is not too high, all because her mother is Queen Dou's maid. Princess Xiangyang's name is Li Wan, her surname is very gentle and virtuous, but she has not left too many traces in the history books.

The most circulated is the process of her marrying Dou Dan.

Dou Dan originally had a wife, but later had to divorce his wife because he married Princess Xiangyang.

Fortunately, Princess Xiangyang and Dou Dan are also considered to be in harmony. The two have always advanced and retreated together, and it is also a good story of the royal family.

This Dou Dan, the official worship hall eunuch, the prince of Anfeng County, is the eldest son of Dou Kang.

Li Yanqing didn't recognize Dou Dan, but Zheng Hongyi did.

Yan Qing hurriedly got up and arched his hand across the boat, "Dou Jungong, has you always been good?" ”

Dou Dan smiled: "Sure enough, it's King Li Chitose!" Hehe, I thought it was strange just now, such a masterpiece, and who did it come from, it turned out to be made by Chitose, and it was really extraordinary. ”

"Dou Jungong has won the award!"

After Yan Qing finished speaking, he looked at the woman beside Dou Dan again, and bowed slightly, "Xiao Wang has seen the princess." ”

Princess Xiangyang was a shy surname, so she hurriedly waved her hand, took a step back and said, "Chitose must not be like this...... Chitose is my Tang Dynasty Father's hero, how dare Xiangyang be a gift of Chitose? It should be Xiangyang's salute to Chitose. ”

This woman is really interesting.

Li Yuan now has a total of nineteen daughters, the youngest of whom was born at the end of last year.

However, among these nineteen daughters, Yan Qing has only seen Li Yunxiu and Li Yongjia, and the others do not know any others.

In Yanqing's impression, the princesses of the Tang Dynasty are not the masters of peace of mind.

Li Yunxiu, Princess Pingyang, dances with knives and guns, is good at asking about political affairs, and is quite manly. After that, what is Gaoyang, what is Taiping, either the red apricot is out of the wall, or the ambition is ambitious. This princess of Xiangyang is a special existence.

"Lord Li, let's make another poem!"

People on the shore, suddenly shouted loudly.

One person shouted out, and it quickly got a response from countless people.

Everyone in Chang'an knows that Li Yanqing's writing is outstanding, and his poetry and books are unique, but unfortunately he didn't have the opportunity to see it.

Now, when the goose boy comes to Chang'an, how can it be a simple poem that can be let go?

Dou Dan also smiled: "King Li, since everyone is looking forward to it so much, why don't you write a poem again?" I have heard of Li Wang's poems and books for a long time, but Xia Guan has never seen them. It's not as good as this, King Li boarded the boat and traveled in Qujiang, which is also a good story. ”

"Yes, concubines often hear people say that King Li's poems are indeed clever."

Li Yanqing glanced at Fang Xuanling, but saw Fang Xuanling close his eyes, as if he was asleep.

This guy is crazy about nothing, and he's getting into so much trouble. It's good now, but it's really hateful to ignore it and stay out of it.

After a moment of silence, Yan Qing waved his hand to both sides of the Qujiang River.

"It's not Xiao Wang's grasp, but today he is accompanying the Suzhou envoy to play, and he really can't get out.

However, since the princess wants Xiao Wang to write poems, Xiao Wang will make a fool of himself here...... In this way, it is said that Qujiang and the princess, the concubine, and the monarch meet each other, and there is also a fate. And my friend, who has not been to Chang'an for a long time, Xiao Wang will use this as the topic to write a poem? ”

Dou Dan raised his eyebrows, and he was interested.

This is a poem for the occasion...... Dou Dan can be sure that Yanqing is a temporary intention, not a deliberate preparation.

However, this has to be appropriate, it has to be on topic, and at the same time it is improvised...... But it's not an easy thing to do.

Glancing at Princess Xiangyang, the husband and wife nodded in unison.

And everyone on the shore was also very curious, and looked at Li Yanqing who was standing on the boat with great anticipation.

Fang Xuanling opened his eyes this time.

"Fetch the wine!"

The so-called pretending to be forced is to pretend to the end!

Since it's forced to this one, then the surname Suo will be cool.

Yan Qing drank all the Yichun wine in one gulp, picked up a silver chopstick, and tapped it lightly on the bronze jue, making a 'ding', an extremely pleasant sound.

"A flower flies but spring, and the wind is sad."

It's the middle of summer, and the flowers are blooming.

The originally clear river surface suddenly swept through a small wind...... "And I want to see all the flowers, don't be tired of drinking more into my lips." ”

Fang Xuanling took a deep breath, took a sip of turbid wine, and closed his eyes, as if he was savoring the taste.

"The small hall on the river nests jade, and the lace high mound lies on the unicorn. Pushing physics must be fun, why use floating names to stumble over this body......"

As he spoke, Li Yanqing raised his glass and laughed, "Please drink this cup to the full!" ”

"Please drink it full!"

The artistic conception in this poem, with Li Yanqing's yin and yang frustrated singing, gradually rose **.

Although it is still talking about Qujiang, people have already felt that the artistic conception in the poem ...... "King Li's literary style is indeed extraordinary!" ”

Princess Xiangyang couldn't help but whispered: "There is no vanity under the fame, and it really deserves its reputation." ”

Dou Dan also nodded lightly, "With such literary brilliance, I'm afraid that in this Chang'an City, few people can surpass this king of Henan." ”

"The court said that the spring clothes were classic, and every time the river was drunk. Wine debts are commonplace, and life is rare for seventy years.

The word butterfly saw it deeply, and the dragonfly flew in the water. The scenery of the rumors flows together, and there is no contradiction between the temporary appreciation. ”

As Li Yanqing's singing echoed in the sky, Shen Guang stumbled and slowly left.

On the painting boat, Dou Dan and Princess Xiangyang were dumbfounded, but when they saw the green willow bushes disappearing from the leafy boat, their ears still echoed with the singing of Yanqing.

"This gentleman is a true celebrity!"

Dou Dan couldn't help but sigh.

In Yanqing's poems, although he did not mention half of the sentence 'Qujiang', he vividly interpreted the beauty of Qujiang.

And those Chang'an people on the shore were reluctant to leave for a long time, as if they were reminiscing about the wonderful taste in the poems.

―――――――――――― "Life is rare for seventy years, and it is not against each other to appreciate each other for the time being......"

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but admire: "Yan Qing's words are all in my heart." ”

Li Yanqing turned over and said with a smile: "Brother Fang, since you miss Chang'an so much, why don't you come back?" ”

"Come back, how do you get back?"

Fang Xuanling jumped out of the boat, and his own entourage led the horse over.

"Since ancient times, there have been many people who have gone north to the south, but I have not heard that the south and the north can be successful."

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Whether it succeeds or not, do your best." ”

The two of them seemed to be very casual in their words, and they both knew the meaning of it.

Fang Xuanling didn't know that Li Yuan would not bow his head? This can be seen from Li Yuan's attitude towards him.

However, he is not afraid!

Because he still has a post-recruitment ...... "Yanqing, now that you are a courtier, how does it feel?" ”

He was well aware of Li Yanqing's embarrassing position in the court.

Li Yuan wanted to use it but didn't dare to use it, Yanqing seemed to be a very high official, but the authority in his hands was much less than back then.

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Brother Fang, God knows, you know and I know!" ”

"Huh?"

"There are always some things in the world that you and I can see through."

Yan Qing had an unfathomable smile, but it made Fang Xuanling feel a little apprehensive.

On a trip today, he wanted to test Li Tang's attitude, and at the same time be able to tease the relationship between Yanqing and Li Tang. It's not that he has evil thoughts about Yanqing, it's just that each is his master. But Yanqing's performance made him hesitate.

"Brother Fang, it's not early, I'm going back too.

There are many beautiful scenery in Chang'an, you are more familiar with it than me. Why don't we go to Baqiao tomorrow and enjoy the beauty of the weeping willows of the Baqiao? ”

Fang Xuanling smiled, "I don't dare to ask for it." ”

"So, we'll see you there!"

Li Yanqing sent Fang Xuanling back to the Honglu Temple Post House, and then said goodbye to Zheng Hongyi.

"Lord Wang!"

"Huh?"

"The prince said that he will hold a banquet in the Chongwen Pavilion, let me ask you if you have time?"

Li Yanqing knew that he was now in the eyes of everyone. He didn't want to get too close to Li Jiancheng, but after he arrived in Chang'an, Li Jiancheng had invited him several times. If he doesn't agree, it will definitely make Li Jiancheng dissatisfied.

However, if you go to the East Palace for a banquet by yourself, it will definitely make Erlang feel a lot of pressure...... can make Li Shimin feel uncomfortable, Li Yanqing is still very happy.

So after a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "The prince invited, how dare I not go?" Well, go back and tell the prince and ask him to make an appointment. ”

Zheng Hongyi was overjoyed and nodded again and again.

The two broke up at the Vermilion Bird Gate, and Yan Qing suddenly called Zheng Hongyi.

"Hongyi!"

"Huh?"

Li Yanqing led the horse, walked to Zheng Hongyi's side, and said in a low voice: "There is a sentence that comes out of my mouth and into your ears, that's all."

In the Prince's Mansion, don't be too showy.

You are the Zheng family's room, and you don't need to be attached to anyone. ”

After speaking, Yan Qing got on the horse and walked away.

Zheng Hongyi stood outside the Suzaku Gate and stood for a long time.

What does this sentence mean?

After ―――――――――――――――――――― separated from Zheng Hongyi, Li Yanqing and Shen Guang prepared to return to the palace.

When passing through Chang'an Dong City, Yan Qing suddenly remembered that when he was about to go out, Duoduo had told him to buy some things.

When he went out, he had already instructed Liang to be honest.

However, out of curiosity about the eastern and western cities of Chang'an, he didn't mind and took a stroll inside.

People say, if you don't enter the East and West City, you don't know the beauty of Chang'an.

The two cities, east and west, in fact, also represent a scene of Chang'an to a certain extent.

Li Yanqing and Shen Guang dismounted outside Dongshi and left their horses in the stable.

He went out today, and instead of riding an elephant dragon, he rode an ordinary horse.

"This Chang'an people's business acumen is really bright."

Li Yanqing and Shen Guang walked into Dongshi, and said with a smile as they walked: "You see, in the three cities of Luoyang, there is no such stable.

Hehe, the east is rich and the west is expensive, and the people who come in and out of here are all worth something.

Horses were not allowed to enter or leave the market, so the Chang'an people built simple stables outside the market and charged a fee for taking care of the horses...... Therefore, pay attention to all knowledge, in terms of finding business opportunities, Luoyang people are not as good as Chang'an people. ”

Shen Guang nodded and said: "Indeed, the merchants coming and going in the three cities of Luoyang may not be less than that of Chang'an.

But no one saw the doorway...... However, if it weren't for Childe talking about it, I wouldn't have paid attention to this. ”

"I inquired just now, and it's only ten dollars for an hour for a horse.

But you see that there are hundreds of horses in his stable, and at the end of an hour, it is a consistent income. At the end of the day, there are dozens, if not hundreds...... Hehe, but you calculate, how much is the stable worth when it is built? ”

The income of more than 100 yuan is equivalent to the sum of the income of a middle-sized family.

Shen Guang nodded again and again, also very admiring.

Outside the East Market, there are seven or eight stables, and the income is indeed very amazing in a year.

The two walked while talking, and suddenly, Li Yanqing stopped.

"It seems to be quite lively over there!"

In the East Market, there is a small artificial lake, and at this time, many people gathered on the lakeside.

Yan Qing and Shen Guang walked over in a hurry, but they saw crowds of people, people were crowded, and they couldn't see the situation inside.

Shen Guang said softly: "Childe, let Shen Guang open the way for you." ”

As he spoke, he stepped forward and squeezed into the crowd. It's just that every time he takes a step, there will be an extremely small swing in his body. With the swing of the body, there is an extremely weak force of impact. It's not a lot of force, but it's enough to knock people away without making the person who gets hit angry. Li Yanqing followed closely behind Shen Guang and secretly sighed that Shen Guang's martial arts were becoming more and more perfect...... This one alone shows his attainments.

In a row of willows by the lake, two people are fighting swords!

In these two cities, there are many Hu businessmen, and it is not uncommon for them to draw their swords against each other.

Li Yanqing looked at it for a while and felt bored. The two people fighting the sword are indeed chess opponents, only to see the sword light Huohuo, tinkling non-stop, it looks very lively. But in the eyes of Li Yanqing and Shen Guang, the skills of these two people are really not worth mentioning.

"Childe, how's it going?"

Li Yanqing was noncommittal, shrugged his shoulders, and said that he was not interested.

At this moment, the young man who only heard the sword suddenly shouted, and after buying a flaw, he kicked the opponent to the ground.

"Boy, do you dare to be arrogant?"

The sharp sword was shining against the young man's throat.

The defeated young man's face flushed, "I admit defeat!" ”

"Admit defeat and obediently take out the money...... Don't inquire, who is this Green Willow Garden? You are lucky today, if the eighth master is here, at least you kid will have half a life. ”

"Ah, is this the eighth master's field?"

The defeated young man suddenly showed a look of panic, "The villain doesn't know, if he knows, how dare he offend the eighth master." ”

Li Yanqing was stunned, and couldn't help but glance at the two young men suspiciously.

"Shen Guang, which one is this eighth master?"

(To be continued)
