Chapter 1013: Shangyuan Night Tour
The nail that Yang Zhao touched at Du Shiyi, Yang Yuyao naturally knew about it quickly. When she was still in Chengdu, she was frustrated by Du Shiyi; Later, because of Mrs. Wang Maozhong, she once again received Du Shiyi's solemn warning; As for the time when Yunu married Princess Shou before, but she went her own way, she had tasted all kinds of humiliation even more when she had been stalking to the death.
She has always hoped that after she soars, she will be able to return these grievances a hundred times, but now she has not yet reached the point where Concubine Wu Hui dominated the harem alone, and her cousins in her mother's family can't talk about success, only Yang Zhao let her see some hope. But even Yang Zhao is only a mere Du Zhilang now, and she has to look at the faces of countless people, even if she hates her teeth in her heart, she can't do anything to Du Shiyi.
However, Yang Zhao went to Li Linfu's way, and then became a judge of Wang Jie, but Gao Lishi realized a bit of a crisis. The reason why he tried his best to let Yu Nu enter the harem of the Son of Heaven was because he had some difficulty dealing with Li Linfu, and even after that, he brought Yang Yuyao with him, it was also because of the same reason. Now that the Yang family is soaring, but he is still sheltering Li Linfu because of his own selfishness, let alone his chagrin. Therefore, when he learned that Zhang Yunrong and several other concubines had gathered together to prepare a sacrifice for his long-deceased mother Mai, he unconsciously had an idea.
Such a large family with a large population, nothing but profit, can become an ally with you today, but tomorrow they will leave you aside, or even treat you as an enemy. Instead of betting all on Yang Yuyao's ambitious woman, he will repeat the mistakes of Concubine Wu Hui every day, so it is better to pull Zhang Yunrong's others. You must know that they are lonely, they don't even have a family, and they are much easier to control than Yang Yuyao!
Therefore, in front of Mai Xiong, who reported the matter, he said unhurriedly: "Zhang Meiren's intentions cannot be disappointed." You have prepared a return gift for me, which is my appreciation for their kindness. ”
This trivial matter in the palace is not among Du Shiyi's concerns. Although he did take advantage of this return to Beijing to reunite with his family as much as possible, he did not reduce the opportunity to show his face in front of Li Longji. The envoys who returned to Beijing at the end of the year also included Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhonghe, and the number of times he was edicted to enter the palace was actually more than that of Wang Zhonghe, who had been raised in the palace since childhood, and even to the point that he could enter the palace at will as long as he was invited. Even Azler, whom he gave the name Dusui, was introduced by him to the Son of Heaven. And the Turkic boy, who has experienced all kinds of sinister since he was a child, is precocious and intelligent, and in his own way, he adds points to his master in front of the Son of Heaven.
Azler did nothing else, except to show off his powerful cavalry, but sang a ballad in Turkic in praise of the Heavenly Khan. From the tragic situation of countless casualties in the past battles on the Mobei grassland for many years, to the peaceful and healthy life of the people of all ethnic groups today, praising the majesty and benevolence of the Heavenly Khan, the slightly hoarse voice is very different from the tune of the Central Plains singers, and Li Longji is unconsciously moved when he hears it. And it was not Du Shiyi who translated these lyrics, but the translator of Honglu Temple specially invited by Gao Lishi, which even described auspiciousness several times, and Li Longji was even more pleased.
If it weren't for Du Junli, how could Mobei do the kindness of the Son of Heaven!
And the Dou Zhong that Du Shiyi brought back from Shuofang this time also surprised Li Longji. At that time, out of suspicion of the North Gate Forbidden Army, he kicked out a bunch of officers from it, and said that he went to the major border towns for training, hoping to cultivate the pillars of the country one day. After so many years, there is finally a corresponding result, which shows his foresight back then, how can he not like it? Especially when Du Shiyi said that in addition to one Dou Zhong, Li Guangbi is now guarding Anbei Yatent City as a pioneer envoy, and there are also seven or eight Jianrui in Shuo Fang who are already enough to be on his own, he is even more complacent.
Since he had such a commendation in his heart, on the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty, Li Longji was actually invited by Du Shiyi to personally inscribe the five characters of Anbei Ya Tent City as a plaque for the city gate. This unique grace attracted the attention of the whole dynasty for a while. Du Shiyi's eldest son Du Guangyuan is in Hedong, and Wang Zhongsi has just sent his eldest son to Shuofang to serve in the army last year, so naturally he has nothing to say about it. But the emperor Fu Weiming couldn't help but scoff, and when he returned to the private house after retiring from the dynasty, he complained to the left and right: "Du Junli will really invite pets!" ”
Huangfu is obviously a rough person, and the left and right servants are not so strictly screened, so the words will reach Li Linfu's ears in a moment. He knew about the public case between Huangfu Weiming and Wang Zhonghei back then, and even if he instructed his subordinates to spread the word. When he learned that the news was spreading, Du Guangyuan, who returned to Chang'an with Wang Zhonghei to reunite with his parents and siblings, couldn't help but be full of resentment. After years of military training, he finally didn't be so reckless, but he didn't go to talk to his parents, but discussed with his younger brother Du Youlin.
"Someone must be fueling the trouble, if we can't hold our breath to stir up trouble, then the Venerable Master will be fooled!" Du Youlin saw that Du Guangyuan was still very angry although he nodded, so he comforted, "Although Huangfu Weiming has won several battles since he took office, he failed to take down Shibao City, which is far worse than Grandpa!" ”
Although there is a distinction between master and apprentice with Wang Zhonghe, but regardless of personal feelings in the army, Du Guangyuan is used to calling Wang Zhongsi the marshal, and at this moment he unconsciously thought of Wang Zhongsi: "No wonder the marshal used to grit his teeth whenever he mentioned Huangfu Weiming, this person is hateful!" ”
Wang Zhongji usually has a cautious attitude towards the Chinese military of the DPRK, but he has always been obsessed with the grudge back then, and naturally sneers at Huangfu Weiming. Regarding the current boiling rumors, when he met Du Shiyi before the Shangyuan Festival, he couldn't help but mention the old things back then, and Du Shiyi couldn't help but laugh.
"It was then, and it's now. Huangfu Weiming didn't have much foundation in the court, he rose because he sent an envoy to Tibet, and now his righteous brother Wang Yu moved to the left to the end, he moved out to be handsome, it seems to be beautiful, but in fact it is full of dangers. This time, Shibao City was defeated again, but he also fought another battle that was claimed to be a great victory, but who can say clearly? Do the math, how many times have we met His Majesty when we returned to Beijing this time, and how many times have he met him? You and I are in the prime of life, but how old is he? ”
"If you don't say it, I'll forget that he's fifty-seven years old." Wang Zhongsi suddenly laughed, and the annoyance caused by the new hatred and old grudges couldn't help but be thrown out of the clouds, "No wonder you don't care about a dying old person, otherwise wouldn't it be measured?" ”
"That's right, Chang'an is no better than Hedong Shuofang Mobei, lest there are too many people in the world who are not chaotic. Loyalty, let's go back after the Shangyuan Festival, so as not to stay for a long time and cause trouble. ”
Looking at people's faces in Chang'an, it is better to go back to the territory where you are the masters, Wang Zhongsi also had this intention, and immediately nodded knowingly. At this moment, the two of them noticed Huangfu Weiming coming over with a gloomy face at the same time, and immediately hid as if nothing happened. When it comes to the Great Dynasty, the three shifts are almost in the same column, so that the eyes and nose and the nose and the heart seem to be irrelevant, so that those who are interested in watching the excitement can't help but be disappointed. And the crown prince Li Heng saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but glance at Wei Jian out of the corner of his eye.
Datang from the capital to the county seat, all have a night curfew, only the Shangyuan Festival will be a rare relaxation in the three days. And since the late Kaiyuan Dynasty to Tianbao these years, Li Longji often climbed the Calyx Xianghui Building on the night of the Shangyuan Festival, personally watched the lanterns, watched the singing and dancing downstairs, and said in a beautiful name, and enjoyed with the military and the people. As for the people, while flocking to watch the annual excitement, they will also party all night without returning home. As for the officials, after accompanying the Son of Heaven to watch the lanterns in the Calyx Xianghui Building, most of them will also bring their wives and children to enjoy the scenery of the Yuan Night.
The same goes for Du Shiyi. He doesn't return to Chang'an every year, and Wang Zhonghei is the same, so Du Guangyuan, who served in the army in Hedong, is also rare to come back, and there are very few opportunities for a family reunion like this. The only regret is that Cui Jianxuan can't get away from it in Wangzhou, so he took his sister Du Sanniang and Cui Peng Du Xianhui together, and a large group of people rode horses together to tour the light market. The family talked and laughed, and after a while, they went around Chang'an East City and saw the lamp towers of many dignitaries.
Du Guangyuan suddenly sighed lightly: "Grandpa, Auntie, have we ever built a lamphouse?" ”
Hearing this, Du Xianhui couldn't help but laugh: "Brother, just now Ah Niang and Aunt didn't say that the last light tower we passed by just now was the light tower built by our Cui Du family." ”
"Ah, why didn't you say it earlier!" Du Guangyuan woke up like a dream, and quickly stretched out his hand to pull his wife and said, "Ning Ning, let's go and have a look!" ”
Seeing Jiang Liuniang being pulled away helplessly, Wang Rong couldn't help but smile at Du Sanniang: "This kid is in a hurry in everything, far less calm than Ah Peng. ”
"Guangyuan is also a true temperament." Du Shisanniang saw that Cui Peng was whispering to Du Xianhui, and couldn't help but think of her husband in a foreign land, but in addition to missing it, she remembered that these two young couples had no children now, and she couldn't help but be a little worried. But at this moment, she only heard Du Shiyi's voice in her ears.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so we don't have to worry about the children's affairs, they have to go by themselves!"
Du Shiyi smiled as she spoke, and pointed to the West Market where Hu merchants gathered with a horsewhip, and said with a smile: "Don't wait for them, let's go to the West Market to have a look!" Young lady, I still remember when I first met you with Thirteen Niang, it was at the north gate of Xishi, when the Zoroastrian people performed the fire-swallowing art. ”
Speaking of the old things, Wang Rong and Du Shisanniang naturally had their own feelings, and they smiled when they looked at each other. After more than 20 years, there are still various magical performances of the Zoroastrian Hu people at the north gate of the West Market, and the onlookers are better than back then, including many rich and noble people in fresh clothes and angry horses. Among them, a sharp-eyed middle-aged man recognized Du Shiyi and his party at a glance, and immediately squeezed out of the crowd without saying anything.
"Du Nineteen, I didn't expect you to come out on this Yuan Night!" It was Jiang Du who spoke, and he looked around as he spoke, and then asked in surprise, "What about Guangyuan and Liuniang?" ”
"They are a small couple, leave us in the way, and go to see the lantern tower built by the Cui Du family."
Jiang Du knew that Jiang Liuniang had been married for more than three years and had no children so far, and he was most worried about the dislike of his in-laws and the empathy of his husband. So, after he snorted, he pulled Du Shiyi aside, and then said in a low voice: "Be careful, I just happened to see a noble man from the light car from the light market." ”
Du Shiyi was a little strange: "What nobleman?" ”
"The crown prince of the East Palace today."
