Chapter 334: Cherry Blossoms in the Drizzle
The spring rain is non-stop, although the rain is not very urgent, but it has been raining for two or three days in a row, but it is thanks to this spring rain that the dry and cold of the winter day is swept away, and the air is filled with a warm and moist atmosphere, which makes people relax their whole body and mind.
Buddhism and Taoism are flourishing in the city of Si Xuan, even in this kind of spring rainy weather, the Taoist temples everywhere are still worshippers like clouds, there is a breath of incense everywhere in the city, mixed with the fragrance of the flowers that bloom at the beginning, there is a faint sense of detachment.
Li Su has been in Sixuan City for two days, and as soon as he arrived here, he encountered this timely spring rain, which made the Tang army who had just occupied this place to publicize it to the outside world, saying that this rare spring rain was brought by His Royal Highness the King of Qi, and it was also the affirmation of the heavens for the King of Qi to occupy Baekje, so if anyone dared to make trouble again, it would be disrespectful to the heavens and so on.
Although these words may seem a little ridiculous, but at this time, especially in Baekje, a place where Buddhism is prosperous, these remarks are still very deterrent, and many people who are dissatisfied with Li Su also have an extra layer of fear in their hearts, although it is impossible to change their views too much because of this rain, but they will not dare to show too much hostility to the Tang army in the future.
In the two days, Li Su hardly rested, all of them were dealing with all aspects of Baekje's political affairs, after all, he had just conquered here, and Baekje was in chaos, and the famine was even more serious than Silla, so there were a lot of things, if it weren't for the assistance of Wang An and the officials sent by the royal government, it is estimated that he would not be able to deal with it even for a month.
It took two days to finally deal with some things that others couldn't handle, and most of the rest didn't need him to deal with it himself. So Li Su can finally take a break and go to bed early last night. It took me five hours to get up.
The place where Li Su lived was the original royal palace of Baekje, since the siege of Sihyun Fortress. It was not until they heard the news that Li Su was coming, and the officials of the Qi palace in the city cleaned up the palace as a palace for Li Su in Baekje, after all, no one else had the courage to live in it except Li Su.
It is also worth mentioning that this time not only Li Su came, but even Jin Shengman also brought. In addition, there are many officials from Silla who will accompany him, and their families will also move from Jincheng to Sihyun after a while. The reason for this was one of Lee's plans for the governance of Silla and Baekje.
Now that both countries are under his rule, there are naturally no more Silla and Baekje, of which Silla still retains a country name, and Kim Seung-man's queen is also there, but the administrative institutions and armies of these two countries have been completely disrupted by Yi Su and are in the process of being reorganized.
Chief among them was the merging of the territories of the two countries into one, which was then divided into three states. They are South Korea, Central Korea and North Korea, and the reason why the word Han is used is that there are two meanings, one bright and one dark, and the bright meaning is that this is originally the hometown of Samhan. Therefore, it is also very appropriate to use the name Han. But the secret meaning is only understood by Li Su, a person who has traveled through the later generations, and after defeating the arrogant small country in the later generations, he still uses that hateful name. This greatly satisfied Li Su's bad taste.
Among them, South Korea includes most of the territory of the original Baekje, while North Korea includes most of the territory of Silla. As for the state of China and South Korea, it is composed of the territories divided between the two countries. However, because of the relatively large area of Silla, most of the territory of Junghanju is the homeland of Silla.
After dividing the three administrative regions, Li Su made an important decision, that is, to move Kim Seungman and most of the Silla nobles to Sihyeon City, this decision came out, naturally it was opposed by all the Silla nobles, after all, Jincheng is the birthplace of their Silla, and it is also the capital of their Silla, where they have great prestige and influence, but if they move to the capital of Baekje, Sihyun, the two countries would have been feuding, where they don't talk about prestige and influence, it is estimated that they usually have to bring good guards when they go out, Otherwise, it is really possible to be secretly killed by the Baekje people.
For the opposition of these Silla nobles, Li Su was too lazy to pay attention to it, and directly threatened them with force to get them on the ship, as for Kim Seungman, although she was also very opposed, but she was a smart woman, knowing that Li Su was not at ease with their Silla, so she made such a ruthless move, and it was useless for her to object, so in the end she had to agree to come to Sihyun.
After Li Su's beautiful sleep, he ate a very delicious breakfast, which finally restored his old spirits. It's just that looking at the rainy weather outside, there is nowhere to go, fortunately, there are Wen'er and Hua'er by their side, and the three of them played cards around the bed for a while, but they got tired of playing after a while.
I saw Li Su throw down the cards with a boring face, and asked Wen'er next to him: "Wen'er, what is Jin Shengman doing now?" ”
Seeing that Li Yu was interested, Wen'er and Hua'er also put down the cards, and replied while cleaning up: "Your Royal Highness, since she came to Siyu City, Jin Huan has been staying in the palace, although it has been raining for the past two days, but she seems to be very interested in the palace of Baekje, and she walks around the palace when she has time. ”
Speaking of Baekje's warrior kings will really enjoy, this palace is built on the mountain, not only built very luxuriously, but also covers a huge area, roughly divided into two parts, the front is the palace group, for the usual office accommodation, the back is to include a piece of mountains and rivers, this mountain and river after the craftsmen take care of the scenery, the scenery is extremely beautiful, and there are many animals, you can go hunting when you have time, and this is the so-called back garden.
"Houyuan?" Li Su was also a little interested after hearing this, when he was in Dengju, he had heard of the back garden of Baekje Palace, although now this place has belonged to him, but some time ago he has been busy with official business, and he has no intention of going to the back garden to have a look, and he doesn't know if it is as beautiful as the legend?
"Let's go! Let's check it out! Li Su jumped out of bed and said excitedly, it is March now, all kinds of flowers are blooming, coupled with the light rain outside, the scenery must be extremely beautiful, such a good opportunity is very rare.
Seeing that Li Su was so interested, Wen'er and Hua'er were also very excited, Li Su was busy for the past two days, and they had been standing by their side, so they didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the palace, and now that they finally had a chance, the two women naturally cheered and trotted to prepare.
After a while, Wen'er and Hua'er prepared everything, including three exquisite paper umbrellas, high-toothed clogs to wear on rainy days, and a snack box with a few side dishes and a pot of wine.
As soon as he arrived at the back garden, Li Su was immediately stunned, because he saw a very familiar thing here, only to see that on both sides of the gravel path they walked, there were thick trees planted, and the branches were full of clusters of pink flowers, and the raindrops were on the flowers, which looked crystal clear, and under the impact of the rain, these flowers had petals falling from time to time, looking like a rain of flowers falling from the sky, and the beauty was intoxicating.
"Sakura?" Li Su recognized the trees in front of him at a glance, he really didn't expect to see cherry blossoms in a place like Baekje? However, Li Su immediately reacted that although the cherry blossoms of later generations were the national flower of Japan, the origin of cherry blossoms was in China, and they were only transmitted to the Korean Peninsula and Japan during the Tang Dynasty.
Wen'er and Hua'er looked at the beautiful scenery of this kind of flowers blooming and falling, but they were very excited, holding an umbrella in one hand, but the other hand stretched out the umbrella, took the petals falling from the tree in their hands, and then put it under the small Qiong's nose and smelled it, and said to Li Su with a smile: "This flower is so fragrant, Your Highness, you can smell it too!" ”
Although Li Su didn't like cherry blossoms very much because of some reasons in later generations, he had to admit that when the cherry blossom trees were in full bloom, it was indeed a rare beauty.
There are not a lot of cherry blossom trees in the back garden, there are all this kind of cherry blossom trees on both sides of the road, and there is a large cherry blossom forest in the distance, which can be seen that the martial king must have liked this kind of flower very much, but unfortunately before the flowers bloomed, he became Li Su's prisoner, and he was no longer blessed to enjoy this beautiful scenery.
After passing through the cherry blossom forest, Li Su's eyes were greeted by a hill that was not too high, and the mountain was also very gentle, with a winding gravel path leading to the top of the mountain, and on the top of the mountain, a small pavilion was built, and faintly, there seemed to be someone there in the pavilion. Although I can't see the appearance of the people in the pavilion clearly, I can guess that it must be Jin Shengman inside.
"Let's go up and have a look!" Li Su said with a smile, just this way, but let him find that this back garden is really worthy of its name, the entire back garden is built according to the landscape, by the master craftsman on the original natural scenery to make it more pleasant, it is also a very good leisure place, if you have time in the future, you can bring Wenxin and Xijun to them for vacation.
Along the path to the top of the mountain, I saw Jin Shengman sitting alone in the pavilion, and there were two maids standing beside him, although Jin Shengman was sitting there facing Li Su, but he twisted his head to the side, as if he was looking at something?
Li Su followed Jin Shengman's gaze, but found that there was a huge rock, and there seemed to be a cliff behind the rock. Originally, the rock and the cliff looked very ordinary, but on the big rock, there were many sacrifices, but it seemed that they had been placed for many days, and the sacrifices on the plate had rotted.
In addition to this, there is also a cherry blossom on the rock, which is blooming in the rain, and it looks like it has just been picked from the tree. (To be continued.) )
