The sun rises in the east, tearing through the clouds in the sky, and thousands of rays of light are sprinkled on the streets and alleys. The people of Luoyang, the capital division, were crowded, wearing all kinds of new clothes, gathering from all directions to the central street.

Li Yi got up early in the morning, chose an excellent location, and waited quietly in the crowd. In front of him was a strong man, with a physique, even stronger than Li Yi's. This person's name is Zhang Er, in his early twenties, he doesn't want to meet his old friend by chance, the two haven't seen each other for many years, and they can't help but ask each other about their feelings after parting.

The man who talked to Zhang Erpan was his former neighbor Wang San, who was a few years older than him and looked old and serious. Wang San is a warm-hearted person, just saw Li Yi **** on his upper body, and was stopped by the officers and soldiers who were interrogating, so he took out his clothes and helped Li Yi pass the customs smoothly.

What about Li Yi's clothes? Due to the exhaustion of ammunition and food, he was sent to a pawnshop, exchanged for a few full meals, and paid off the accommodation fees owed.

Recalling his bleak experience, Li Yi couldn't help but sigh, and only listened to Zhang Erdao: "Since the sixth year of Xiping, the emperor has welcomed the five emperors in the suburbs when the seasons change. The emperor sacrificed to the gods of heaven and earth, and the pomp was particularly grand and magnificent, and the momentum was also very immense. Third Brother Wang can really calm down, and he came to see this excitement after three years! ”

Wang San sighed: "Sunjiazhuang is remote and closed, your second brother Zhang is not ignorant, a few years ago when I learned the news, the daylily was cold, this time it was the blessing of the neighbor Lao Zhao, he came to the capital a few days ago, only to hear the accurate news, after going back Lao Zhao will spread the news, one to ten, ten to hundred, the villagers are excited, each with his wife and children, hurried to the capital. ”

Listening to the conversation between the two brothers, Li Yi thought to himself: It's hard to be a person like Wang San, although the home is not far from the capital, but the inconvenient transportation is an indisputable fact, and the poor transmission of information cannot be ignored, so that although they are close at hand, they seem to be going to the end of the world! And these small people, fooled by feudal poisonous thoughts, worship the supreme imperial power, and desperately want to witness the face of heaven! It is also reasonable to wade through mountains and rivers to come to Luoyang.

Li Yizheng was thinking to himself, and then heard Zhang Ergan laugh and said: "The younger brother and the third brother Wang haven't seen each other for many years, and after this excitement, the elder brother still has to go to the younger brother's house to sit down!" ”

Wang San and Zhang Er are friends who are irreversible, but they haven't seen each other for many years, and from their words and deeds, they can't see the shadow of this brother in the past. Those who are close to Zhu are red, and those who are close to ink are black. It seems that the brother fell into the big dye vat of the capital and has changed beyond recognition. Wang San lost the feeling of the past, and he didn't want to cause trouble anymore, he smiled slightly and said: "I still have important things to deal with urgently, so it is inconvenient to bother this time." Wang San changed his words and said: "I don't know something, and I ask my brother to explain it." ”

Since coming to the capital, Zhang Er has had nothing to do, and has been messing around in the streets and alleys every day. In front of Wang San, Zhang Er thought he was from the capital, so he patted his chest and said: "The younger brother's family lives in Beijing, what can escape the eyes and ears of the brother?" If Brother Wang has any doubts, just ask yourself! ”

Seeing Zhang Er's arrogance and empty eyes, Wang San was disgusted: Didn't he just move to Beijing and live in Beijing for a few years? I won't throw my tail up to the sky! It's just that I will meet again after a long absence, and it is not good to sweep his face in front of everyone. Wang San was very helpless, he asked lukewarmly: "Today's emperor lives in the palace and never goes out of the palace gate for half a step, why is it abnormal now?" ”

In the capital, from the emperor's concubines to the grass beggars, if it is fresh and strange, he has nothing to know. Zhang Er didn't notice the subtle changes in his old friend, and seeing that Wang San's question was right in the middle, he laughed and said: "Today's emperor is working hard to make the country prosperous, and it is all Cai Zhonglang's persuasion. This Cai Zhonglang's name is Yongzi Bo, and his ancestral home is Chenliu County. Master Cai knows astronomy, geography, ancient and modern, talented and rich, and is a world-famous Confucian. Lord Cai is loyal and honest, dare to give direct advice, and the emperor issued an edict to make great efforts, and Lord Cai wrote a book to play Chen Qishi. When the emperor saw that Lord Cai was a great loyal minister, he was not allowed to play ......"

Zhang Er is particularly talkative, and as soon as his conversation box is opened, it is like the water of a river. Li Yi only heard a little about Cai Yong, but he didn't know the details, and after Zhang Er's story, he learned that Cai Zhonglang was a loyal and upright erudite man who read poetry and books.

But Zhang Er added fuel and vinegar, and Li Yi, who talked endlessly and was preoccupied, had no interest in listening. Li Yi was irritable in his heart, turned a deaf ear to this endless nonsense, and began to ponder his own mess.

Unconsciously, there was a burst of cheers beside him. Li Yi came back to his senses at this time, he looked around, and saw that everyone was either wide-eyed, or opened their mouths, or concentrated and calm, staring at Zhang Er, whose eyebrows were flying, and then listening to his wild talk.

What attracts everyone's attention, like a wood carving clay sculpture? Curiosity drives Li Yi, and he also listens to wonderful stories.

Zhang Er opened the chatterbox, and it continued to come into Li Yi's ears: "...... Today's emperor, that is really a master who will enjoy it. Collecting beauties from all over the world to hide in the harem, eating, drinking and having fun in the company of beauties, these ordinary things go without saying. The emperor and his old man have hundreds of royal horses, black, white, yellow, and red, but the emperor just can't look at it. As soon as the emperor ordered, the eunuchs and Huangmen below changed their tricks, and the little Huangmen bought donkeys from their hometowns. I didn't expect that as soon as this donkey entered the palace, the emperor was called a dragon face Dayue, as soon as he was a child, he was a noble body, who had seen such a low quality, and felt fresh at first sight. Second, the donkey has a docile personality, and when he walks, he is called a steady one, and the emperor sits on the donkey cart, not to mention how happy he is. The Huangmen, who knew how to do things, naturally received a heavy reward, and the three princes and nine kings in the capital, and the princes and uncles also followed suit, causing the price of Si Li's donkeys to skyrocket, and merchants rushed to and from Liang, Jing, Hebei, Henan and other states. ”

Seeing that there were more and more onlookers, Zhang Er's interest doubled: "No matter how good the donkey is, the emperor and his old man have had enough of the day, seeing him sitting on the donkey cart listlessly, there is a person who likes it, and the dog is led into the palace, this dog is of course not an ordinary stupid dog, it is tall and stout, and after special training, it has passed human nature, and the little yellow door put on the court clothes and put on the crown, and led it to the front of the emperor." The emperor's house doesn't need a dog to guard the door, how has he ever seen a dog, let alone a dog in court clothes! The emperor is a dragon face again, and he can't help but applaud, and shouts: "What a dog official! The princes and princes on both sides saw that they were actually accompanied by dogs, but they also dared to be angry but did not dare to speak! ”

Zhang Er's saliva splashed everywhere, and with his expression, his head was like an electric fan, and he shook around: "I've played 'Dog Official' a few times, and it's not very new, Xiao Huangmen sees that the emperor has lost interest in this thing, so I have to change it to a new one!" What else do you want to play with the emperor? All the people in the palace have hollowed out their minds, rushed in and out, offered advice, and finally someone had a bad idea, and actually moved the market into the palace, with the establishment of the stalls, the palace maids and eunuchs put the gold and silver treasures, silk and satin, firewood, rice, oil and salt and other items in the palace up. When everything was ready, the emperor appeared in the palace market, shuttling between the goods, so buying and selling, the emperor and the palace maids and eunuchs dressed as stall owners and customers bargained, and from time to time quarreled, fight, fight, and let ...... splash"

Seeing Zhang Er's huge head shaking violently, it was inevitable that it would roll down his small neck to the ground. Seeing that there were more and more people around, Zhang Er was even more involved, and the onlookers also felt fresh when they heard such strange things, or they were obsessed, or they followed him and shook their heads from time to time.
