Chapter 67 Luoyang City Thoughts
Darkness, pain, as if falling into an endless abyss.
Wu Qing ran, frantically fleeing, and behind him were endless monsters, fangs and claws, slashing at him with weapons. He seems to have a belief that as long as he keeps running forward, he will definitely find an exit and see the light again.
Bright light, a little bit of bright light appeared in front of him, Wu Qing accelerated and ran, and those monsters were even crazier and more cruel. Just as the exit was clearly visible, an unusually tall monster shot an arrow.
"Ah, it hurts!"
Wu Qing opened his eyes in an instant, and saw the gauze tent of Hu Bed, and the heart-piercing pain in his shoulder spread all over his body, making him sweat coldly.
"Childe is awake!" Qiu Ju screamed happily and ran out.
Suddenly, the old lady Wu and the other big families crowded into Wu Qing's bed, with concern in their eyes, Wu Qing was moved, and someone would still care about him.
Wu looked a little haggard, tears flowed down, leaned over against Wu Qing's little face, and said sadly: "My son finally woke up, if something happens to you, how can you live as a mother?" ”
Wu Qing sighed in his heart, for this mother, he can only be filial piety in this life, this love, this kindness, is too heavy, Wu Qing endured the pain on his shoulders, showed a smile, and said: "Auntie, the child's life is hard, it's okay, I will wear the clothes made by my mother in the future, okay, Auntie, don't cry." ”
Wu saw that Wu Qing was so sensible and so smart at such a young age, and his heart was filled with sadness, and he blamed himself for being reserved back then, if he returned to Chang'an early, he would not let Wu Qing become like a little adult at such a young age, and the guilt towards Wu Qing in his heart became stronger.
Wu Qing looked sideways, in addition to Qiu Ju, there were Xu Xiaoying, Wang Xiu and others, but he didn't see Shangguan Wan'er and Princess Taiping, and his heart couldn't help but be gloomy.
Wu Qing wanted to know what happened after he passed out, but the pain in his shoulder immediately made him almost faint again, and before he knew it, a wave of sleepiness hit him, and he fell asleep deeply.
When he woke up, he saw that the sky was still dark and abnormal, Wu Qing felt hungry, and when he looked sideways, he saw a girl lying at the head of the bed, and the slight snort indicated that she was already asleep. Wu Qing moved slightly, the girl suddenly woke up, looked up, Wu Qing was stunned, it turned out to be Qiu Ju, has she been waiting by her side? Wu Qing was a little moved.
"Childe is awake, are you hungry?"
Wu Qing nodded slightly, and then asked, "Qiu Ju, have you always been by my side?" ”
Qiu Ju showed a surprised expression, nodded slightly, and said, "The slave maid stewed lotus seed soup for the son, and now it should be fine, I will go and serve it to the son." ”
Wu Qing suddenly had an impulse, could this be love? A heartfelt emotion and joy filled Wuqing's heart.
Maybe peace and happiness is happiness, and plainness is true. Wealth and power are nothing but things outside the body, while affection is the foundation of life.
It was also at this moment that Wu Qing's mood changed qualitatively, he endured the pain, propped himself up, and then got out of bed, stood by the window in his clothes, pushed open the window with both hands, and a cold wind hit his face. I saw that the night sky was as dark as ink, the stars were brilliant, and the purple stars were dim and unknown. At this time, the Beidou is offset, the bucket handle is to the east, and spring is coming.
Wu Minzhi was not treated well, just as he was lucky, but this time the Empress Wu was surprisingly calm, after the inner guards saved Wu Qing, they locked Wu Minzhi in the room, and then passed the imperial doctor to Wu Qing to treat his injuries, until the imperial doctor was sure that Wu Qing was fine, she led Princess Taiping and Shangguan Wan'er and other palace maids to leave the Wu Mansion and go to Daming Palace.
But there were servants in the mansion, and when they saw Rongguo's wife, the Yang family and the Wu family, as well as the Empress Wu, had been discussing together for a long time.
After Wu Qing let Qiu Ju find out these news, he smiled bitterly, but he held his breath in his heart, he punched the plane tree, the tree was fine, but his hand was bleeding. Qiu Ju hurriedly wrapped it.
Three days later, Emperor Gaozong officially issued an order to visit the eastern capital of Xing and set off on the same day.
Wu Qing and the wife of the Jin State, Wu Shi, also drove to Luoyang, of course, Wu Qing also needed some servants and maidservants, these people were taken by boat along the Guangtong Canal downstream, into the Yellow River and then into Luoshui, you can go directly to Luoyang City.
Emperor Gaozong's imperial drive was by land, and from Chang'an to Luoyang, there was a very wide official road, and the road was smooth and suitable for horse-drawn carriages. Compared with the short journey by water, the fast horse arrived in Luoyang in one day, so Emperor Gaozong chose the land route.
The emperor's royal drive naturally can't be compared with the fast horse, so Xiaoxing stayed overnight, but for three days, Luoyang City was in sight.
Along the way, Wuqing got the favor and sat in the imperial chariot with the princes such as Princess Taiping of Gaozong and Wuhou, and really enjoyed an emperor-level car, and also satisfied a little vanity. Of course, Wu Qing does not sit in vain, except for the time of rest and sleep every day, Wu Qing has to tell stories, so that the progress of writing books cannot keep up with the speed of storytelling. Because his right shoulder was injured, he couldn't write, so he had to think about it for a long time every day when he was resting, so that he could tell the story and not lose it.
After three days, the wound was inflamed and pus, the wife of the Jin Kingdom, Wu, was distressed, and Qiu Ju was also teary-eyed. This made Wu Qing cry out how embarrassed.
Although Luoyang City is majestic and magnificent, it is a little inferior to Chang'an. Follow Gaozong's car all the way from Dingding Gate and enter Luoyang, to here, the hundred officials can leave on their own, the emperor's car will be along the street across the Tianjin Bridge and then enter the Duanmen through the imperial city, enter the Tianmen, is the forbidden inside, that is, the residence of Emperor Gaozong and Empress Wu.
Wu Qing naturally did not have to follow Gaozong across the Tianjin Bridge, there was already an old Li Tou waiting at the gate of the city, and when he saw Wu Qing and the others dismounting, he came to meet Wu Qing and the Wu family.
"The old man has seen his wife and son, and the house has been cleaned up. Just wait for the lady and the son. ”
Wu naturally liked it very much, that house was also given by Empress Wu to Mrs. Rongguo Yang, Yang did not come to Luoyang this time, naturally to hand over the house to Wu, it happened that Lao Li Tou came to Luoyang first, so he asked him to let the servants clean up first.
Wu Qing sat in the carriage, lifted the curtains, looked at the scenery of Luoyang City, and couldn't help but be curious about this place. In the historical records, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty ordered Yu Wenkai to supervise the construction of Luoyang City, and it took more than 2 million to recruit the people, and it took a year to complete, this speed is also rare in ancient and modern times, and the dead people reached as many as forty percent at that time, and it can be said that there are many white bones buried under the city of Luoyang. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, it inherited the Luoyang City of the Sui Dynasty.
Wufu is in Jishanfang, close to the Luohe River, convenient to get water, Wufu covers a large area, at least twice as large as the Wufu of Pingkangfang, so when Wuqing stepped into the house, he felt the feeling of entering the primeval forest, this house was not completely developed, the forest is still original, there is no trace of artificial traces.
Now Gaozong is fortunate in the eastern capital, I really don't know if I will go back, in recent years, the famine in Guanzhong is strict, there is a trend of intensification, if it takes root in the eastern capital, then Jishanfang is close to the imperial city, and the land price will rise in a straight line.
Wouldn't it be better to do business on the street? So is it possible to introduce something that can be promoted in this day and age? Wu Qing began to think about the gains and losses. The political center of the next few decades will be in Luoyang, and he will either soar in the past few decades, with a group of beautiful concubines, or he can only hide in Pishan or go to Songshan to be a monk.
