Chapter 46: The Mysterio

"Chang'an is easy to defend, Luoyang is easy to keep, and Kaifeng is easy to fight." During the Five Dynasties and the Northern Song Dynasty, China's political center moved from Xi'an and Luoyang to Kaifeng, and Bianjing became the capital of the dynasty. In order to fundamentally eliminate the root cause of the war disaster of the feudal towns and the rebellion, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, adopted the strategic deployment of "strong cadres and weak branches", staged a strange drama of "releasing military power with a glass of wine", and gathered "800,000 forbidden troops" to be stationed in the area of Beijing. In this way, hundreds of thousands of troops, plus the palace officials, and the people of Li have to have more than one million mouths, to feed so many people, the supply of edible grain has become the first important military task to be solved, and the transfer of grain from the south to the north has become the main way to solve the problem of eating.

"The foundation of the founding of the country, but Bianhe is Lai", the Bianhe River is the main canal leading from Kaifeng to the rich south of the Yangtze River. Because the Yellow River is the water source of the Bianhe River, the sediment accumulation is serious, so since the early Northern Song Dynasty, every autumn and winter dry season, it is necessary to suspend navigation and dredging. After dredging and remediation, in the spring of the following year, the boats loaded with a large number of daily necessities such as grain, salt, tea, and materials urgently needed by the capital were "transported" along the Bianhe River. In the Later Tang Dynasty, the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, attention was paid to the development of artificial canals, dredging and widening the shallow and narrow rivers in the north, and together with the natural rivers such as the Yangtze River, the Huai River, and the Pearl River, a very busy inland navigation system was formed.

Another Cao Canal in Kaifeng, the capital is the Huimin River, starting from the Minshui, Weishui, etc., from the northwest road of Beijing, Xuzhou, Zhengzhou all the water are confluent, Weishi to Kaifeng, together with the Cai River, through the official private ship, 600,000 stone transported every year, Zhao Ta and his party set off from the capital Kaifeng to Xiangyi, and then took a boat along the Huiji River to the east. In areas where water transportation is the mainstay, important port towns along the river and along the river are equipped with "post station" buildings for the accommodation of passing officials. With the comings and goings of canal ships, it has become a fashionable new scene to visit and welcome guests. Wharves, bridges, ferries, boats are crowded with people, lively and extraordinary, extremely spectacular.

In late spring and early summer, the weather is fine, the sails take advantage of the favorable wind, all the way lightly, along the embankment full of elm trees to the east, the fields on both sides of the river are colorful, flying with the wind, the spring water of the river is red, and even the sails are dyed with a faint red. Thousands of sails on the canal are racing, and boats come and go, head to tail, but seeing the apricot yellow flag of 'ordered to go on patrol' fluttering in the wind on the official boat, whether it is a civilian ship, an official ship or a naval warship, they are far away from it and give way to the waterway.

Zhao Ta stood at the bow of the boat, quietly admiring the scenery on the river, watching the vitality and scenery of the river gulls chasing and playing, and appreciating the joy and pleasure brought by the flowing water. It was not that he had never sailed in his previous life, but this was the first time that this kind of sailing boat was more relaxed and free than riding a horse, with less bumps on the road and more leisure.

"The flying flowers on both sides of the river shine on the red boat, and the half-day wind of the Baili elm embankment. Lying down and looking at the sky full of clouds not moving, I don't know that the clouds are east with me. He suddenly had a feeling, and chanted a masterpiece that I don't know who the Tao is.

"Lord, what a poem, it should be the right situation" Zhao Ta turned his head to look, He Qufei came with a middle-aged scribe, he folded his fan and tapped his palm and praised.

"The teacher praised it, and he felt it" Zhao Ta said embarrassedly, this is true, he still feels a little guilty about this kind of 'shameless' behavior in his heart.

"The prince is too modest, the first two sentences of this poem use Cui Hu's 'peach blossoms on the human face and red each other' and Li Taibai's 'thousands of miles of Jiangling in one day', there is a new meaning in the dotting, and he uses flying flowers to line himself, which looks elegant and elegant, although the second sentence does not have Li Bai's heroic momentum, but there is no lack of chic demeanor. In the last two sentences, Li Taibai once used 'Lying Songyun' to write Meng Haoran's "Merry World", and the prince used the illusion that the clouds did not move to write about his own dynamics with the clouds, and only took them elegant; And "Judong" has the spirit of going straight to the sky, and the love and scenery are ** melting," the middle-aged scribe commented. …,

"The praise of Zhou Bei, this king is worthy of it, how can it be so profound" Zhao Ta blushed and arched his hand. This week, the name Bangyan to be made, the word is beautiful, quite talented, and is respected by later generations as the poet of the Gelu school, known as the crown of the lyricist, and it is considered 'deserved' to be able to get his two sentences of appreciation. But he also came with blessings and misfortunes because of his talents,

Shenzong was a student of Tai, he wrote a "Biandu Fu", praised the new law, was promoted to Taixuezheng, and was promoted to Huiyou Pavilion to be systematized in this dynasty, and promoted Dasheng Mansion.

Not to mention that sleeping flowers and willows are harmful, Zhou Bangyan also has this bad problem, he admires Master Li's name and often goes to Master Li's place to play, and writes lyrics and music for her, and Master Li is also famous. Later, Emperor Daojun also fell in love with this mouth, and often went to Master Li's house. Once the two collided, Zhou Bangyan provoked the emperor, hurriedly hid under the bed, Daojun brought a new orange from the south of the Yangtze River, and tasted it with the teacher, Zhou Bangyan heard it clearly, and afterwards made this poem - "Youth Tour".

This word is a real scene, clear and beautiful, Master Li loves it very much, and often practices singing according to the score. When Zhao Ji came to Master Li's house again, the teacher sang Zhou Bangyan's song "Youth Tour" on a whim. When Zhao Ji heard it, what he said was all about the affairs in Master Li's room that day, and at first he thought that Master Li had done it himself, and was about to praise a few words, but she didn't expect her to casually say that it was Zhou Bangyan's score. As soon as the words came out, he knew that he was wrong, his face suddenly became cramped and uneasy, Zhao Ji looked at Master Li's expression, and knew that Zhou Bangyan must have been in the room that day, his face suddenly changed, and he thought: Everyone in the capital knows that Master Li is my favorite, if you dare to come again, then it will be repaid, if you don't punish it severely, it will definitely make Master Li's door open. When he returned to the palace on the same day, he sent his henchmen to collect the glamorous words written by Zhou Bangyan on weekdays as evidence of his crimes, saying that he was frivolous and could not be an official in the court, and demoted him out of Bianjing.

"The prince has been in Beijing for a long time, and now he is able to go out of Beijing by order, and he is in a happy mood, and he feels like a spring breeze and a horse's hoof," He Qufei said with a smile.

"Hehe, it's still good as the teacher said, the capital is like a golden birdcage, I am the bird that is locked inside, I can come out to breathe, and I feel much more comfortable" Zhao Ta said with a smile.

"The prince is chic, joy, anger, sorrow and joy are all poems, so that the lower officials admire, this will not disturb the prince Yaxing" The middle-aged scribe bowed deeply.

"Please" Zhao Ta raised his hand and said, the two of them went together, at this time from the cabin came a burst of melodious and euphemistic piano sound, he listened to the sound of the piano, looked at the back of the middle-aged scribe, smiled, he didn't know what kind of result his move would bring to them.

．．．．．．

Drifting farther and farther away from the capital, the long-term sense of oppression in Zhao Ta's heart dissipated, and he felt a lot more relaxed, and it was almost noon, the sun was blazing, so he returned to the cabin, ate something casually, leaned on the bow of the boat and read. Although the boats come and go in the river, the voices of people are noisy, but it is as stable as home, this trip can be described as thousands of mountains and rivers, a lot of time is consumed on the road, you can calm down to read, but also to dispel the loneliness of the journey...

"Father, I'm not like that, no, I'm for the Great Song Dynasty..."Zhao Xin, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, suddenly heard the dream of the prince, his body writhed uneasily, his face was full of urgency, and he hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand and said: "Lord, Lord, wake up"

"Oh" Zhao Ta sat up and sighed, only to find that he was on the boat, and it was just a dream just now.

"Second master, are you dreaming?" Zhao Xin poured a cup of tea for the prince and said.

"Well, I had a nightmare, I dreamed that the emperor was going to kill me," Zhao Ta said with a sip of water.

"Did the second master do something unfortunate, I'm afraid that the emperor will know," Zhao Xin teased with a smile.

"Nonsense, when does the master do things and when is not above board, where have you done dirty things" Zhao Ta handed the teacup back to him and said, this Zhao Xin didn't know what kind of temper he had, and he didn't laugh since he got on the boat. …,

"Cut, the second master tossed chickens and dogs in Beijing, but he secretly raised one on the boat..."Zhao Xin pouted and said.

"Oh, do you know who that person is?". Zhao Xin became more and more 'presumptuous' in front of him, and he took care of his own affairs.

"I don't know how to do it, but I don't think she looks like a woman from a good family" Zhao Xin pouted and said, but he had to admire the eyes of the prince, although the woman said that she was wearing ordinary clothes, but mixed with many people, you will also find that she is very different, that kind of graceful charm, completely beautiful outside the complexion, she is not only attractive to the appearance, but has an inimitable temperament beauty.

"Hehe, your vision is not bad, but it's not all right" Zhao Ta smiled and didn't continue, he suddenly saw the needlework on the low table in front of the bed, "Zhao Xin, what are you sewing, I haven't seen you do needlework"

"It's nothing, just sew up the clothes" Seeing that the prince asked, Zhao Xin hurriedly put away a few things.

"Hey, isn't this the Mohora I bought the other day?". Zhao Ta grabbed a pair of mud dolls on the table and said, looked carefully, the clothes on the mud dolls had changed, thinking that Zhao Xin had made them new just now.

"Second master, return me" Zhao Xin snatched it with his hand, holding it tightly in his hand, as if he was afraid of being snatched away by the prince, this thing is made of mud, but it is very valuable. A few days ago, the prince took them to Daxiangguo Temple to watch the Buddha bathing ceremony of the Obon Festival, and the streets were full of betrayals. Moholuo', this thing is said to have originated in Buddhism in the Tenryu Babu can transform into a child's python god, it will swallow the moon at some point, at this time everyone needs to work together to scrape the noise to force him to spit out the moon, but in Middle-earth his appearance has changed greatly, most of the mud monsters mixed in Tokyo Mohoro are transformed into lotus leaves, cute little dolls, there are a few pairs of money on the street, there are thousands of famous products, and there are more delicate people to make them some colorful clothes, furniture or small houses. When he saw a pair, he couldn't walk at that time, but he could only look at the price, but when he returned to the mansion, the prince gave him this pair of Mohora like a trick.

"Stingy, I can't look at it, but it's okay, if I cause a big disaster this time, I will be cut off by the emperor's head one day, thinking about our master and servant, I will think of me when I see it" Zhao Ta rolled his eyes, looked at the empty hands and said stupidly.

"Second master, no, if you really have that day, I will go and accompany you" Zhao Xin looked at the prince with tears in his eyes and said......,
