In the blink of an eye, it is February, the grass grows and the warbler flies in the February sky, and the willows on the embankment are drunk with spring smoke.

Although Luoyang, the largest capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, is still at war, for the capital with a population of one million, if you are just taking a small boat through the Luoshui River that runs through the city, you can still feel the prosperity and tranquility of the capital.

The hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city, and the hungry people everywhere outside the city, seemed to be isolated from the high Luoyang City. It's still full of traffic and people. The two cities in the east and west are still doing thriving, especially the wine shops and goulans in the west market, which seem to be more lively than before. Those warblers, swallows, and green women in green buildings are no longer confined to the night.

On the side of the Luoshui River in Xishi, the rows of carved railings and painting pavilions are also full of young women who are greased and powdered in broad daylight, throwing their eyes at the passers-by and whispering softly. In front of those green buildings, you can see expensive and gorgeous carriages parked outside. From time to time, you can still see a few drunk and unconscious rich and noble sons, who were helped out by the little guy in the building and left in the car.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." In the Luoshui River, a young boat lady is boating by, and on the bow of the boat, there is a young and delicate white-robed boy. The young man had a delicate face, standing on the bow of the boat with his hands in his hands, looking at the prosperous scenery in the city, but the corners of his mouth were slightly sneering, and he gently recited a poem.

The boatlady rowed the boat, but from time to time secretly looked up at this handsome son. She was also a young lady from a good family in Luoyang City, but when Luoyang was besieged by Li Mi, her father was requisitioned to the head of the city to defend the city, but unfortunately he was killed by a streamer. As soon as his father died, and King Zheng had not yet entered Luoyang at that time, the city panicked, and in order to bury his father, the family had to sell the shop that the family had been relying on to live on. Later, King Zheng brought soldiers into Luoyang, Luoyang settled down again, but her family had no support, in addition to her and her mother, there were three young brothers, in desperation, she sold her and her mother's jewelry, rented this boat, and showed up every day, boating on the Luoshui River in the city, earning some copper money to maintain the family's life.

The boat lady has read a lot of poetry books since she was a child, but she understands the poems recited by this young man. Seeing the melancholy on this son's brows, as well as the ridicule of those rich and noble children who only know how to have fun, I admired it even more in my heart.

After raising her head and bowing her head a few times, the boat lady said softly with shame, "Gongzi is really a great talent, not only talented, but also worried about the people of the world, which is really rare." ”

The handsome boy on the boat turned his head when he heard this, looked at the boat girl's face was crimson, and there was a bright brilliance in his eyes, and he suddenly saw the boat girl's thoughts, and he didn't realize that his face was also hot. But he couldn't answer, so he had to pretend to be calm and turn his head and look at the shore of Luoshui. But I inadvertently found that the shore here is not as prosperous as there just now, and there are people in cloth clothes who come and go. Under the willow trees on the shore, Danshi still saw some young women standing under the willow trees on the shore from time to time, dressed in cloth, and constantly watching.

"Boat lady, are these women waiting for someone?" The handsome boy found a topic, breaking the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

The boat lady glanced at the shore when she heard the sound, but she turned back in a hurry, and did not forget to spit on the woman on the shore. "Look at Childe is a serious person, how can he be like this? Childe is here to find these shameless people by boat today, if so, please get off the boat, the slave family will not send Childe. As he spoke, he leaned towards the shore.

The handsome boy was stunned when he heard this, and said with some doubts, "Didn't you offend the girl just now, why did you suddenly change your face?" ”…,

The boat lady looked up at Childe a few times, and found that it was not a fraud, so she had to turn her head and said softly, "Childe, don't look over there, those women are all shameless, and here they are all here to sell their bodies." ”

"Selling? Why is it not in the green building, but it came here? ”

The boat lady sighed faintly, "Since the Wagang thieves besieged Luoyang, life in the city has become more and more difficult. The price of oil, salt, rice and vinegar has increased several times, and those rich princes and nobles don't care, but it's hard for us little people, there are chaotic troops outside the city, and they don't dare to go out of the city, and many of the livelihood skills that used to make a living can't be done. Every day, I eat nothing, and how can I live up to the rise of grain and oil. Many of the people starved to death, and some shameless men let their daughters-in-law and daughters come out to fuck this meat business. The longer ones were all taken away by those Qinglou Chu Pavilions. The younger ones and some of them got boats and boats to pick up customers in the river in this city. There are those who are older and have no appearance capital, so they have to stand on the shore and solicit customers without shame. ”

When the boat lady said this, she sighed and was angry, originally boating on the Luo water was a very legitimate thing, and with a little effort every day, she could earn money for the family to barely survive. However, since many women got boats and made jokes on this river, others had a different view of the boat girls on Luoshui. Every once in a while, she can meet those frivolous people who get on her boat, but they come to look for flowers and ask about willows, if they are not forced to make a living, they can only insist, I am afraid that she will not be this boat lady for a long time.

The young man listened quietly, and his face was also filled with helplessness, which was the case in troubled times. Although the people in Luoyang City seem to be embarrassed, they really want to compare with the people in other places in the Central Plains, but they seem to live in heaven. At the very least, with the protection of Luoyang Jiancheng, there is no need to worry so much every day.

Xiangdao These things, the young man can't help but feel a little confused about his plan to go to Guanzhong. What is it that you are doing? The strife in the world seems to be just a game played by those powerful people. It is the people at the bottom who are really suffering, and the more the heroes of the troubled times fight, the more the people will suffer.

The young man sighed in his heart, Shen Luoyan, Shen Luoyan, why do you keep getting involved in this? Wouldn't it be better to be an ordinary woman, obey the arrangement of the father of the family, marry and have children.

"The merchant girl doesn't know the hatred of the country, and she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river." Shen Luoyan recited this sentence again, when she heard this poem for the first time was actually written by Chen Pojun, she was taken aback. The backyard flower in this poem refers to the Yushu backyard flower made by the queen of the Chen Dynasty, and this word is quoted in this poem, but it is unmistakably expressed to the world that the queen of Chen was addicted to this languishing life for a long time, regarded national politics as child's play, and finally lost the country's dissatisfaction. Especially at the end of the Sui Dynasty at this time, although the Chen Dynasty was not far from the country, the monarchs and ministers of the Sui Dynasty continued to behave like the monarchs and ministers of the Empress Chen, which made people sigh.

"What kind of man is he?" Shen Luoyan stared into the distance, always feeling that this cousin was becoming more and more like a mystery, making her only feel that his body was surrounded by layers of mysterious fog, and she couldn't see the real face clearly.

As the grandson of Empress Chen, he criticized his grandfather. As the only concubine of Emperor Nan Chen, he was able to ignore the huge territory of the Chen Dynasty and stay in Liaodong.

Unconsciously, she remembered the letter she had received from her father yesterday. For most of the past six months, Nan Chen has done nothing, but has lost one after another. Although Nanchen still occupies the territory of dozens of counties, the soldiers and horses in the hands of the major families of Nanchen add up to nearly 500,000 and 200,000 elite soldiers. But now, these nobles in fancy clothes in Nanchen seem to have gradually felt an urgent sense of crisis. …,

In the letter received last night, his father, who still controlled Nanchen Chaozheng, brought up the old matter again, mentioning that he wanted to marry himself to Hebei to Chen Pojun as his wife. After reading the letter, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated. When Nanchen was reestablished, in an instant, he seized dozens of counties of the Great Sui Dynasty and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, making it the largest force in the world. The attitude of my father and the ministers of Nan Chen of other clans was not like this.

When they faced Chen Kefu at the beginning, they never thought of any compromise. She already knew that since her father's first proposal was not answered, her father was working on a second strategy. That is, he married his sister-in-law to her brother-in-law Chen Shen, and soon became the queen. Even according to the original plan, the baby boy who was born not long after the aunt and Chen Shen had just given birth was originally planned to be canonized as the prince of Nanchen.

But now the change in the situation has made these clans of Nan Chen feel tremendous pressure. Facing the Liaodong Army, which was gradually becoming the number one force in the world, they hesitated again. Up to now, they have brought up the old matter again, not only bringing up the matter of marrying Chen Kefu again. Moreover, it was agreed that as long as Chen Kefu established himself as the queen and kept the interests of the current forces in Jiangnan unchanged, then they could let Chen Shen cede the position of emperor of the Chen Dynasty to Chen Kefu.

Zen position? Is it possible? And even if it was possible, with some of her current understanding of Chen Kefu, how could Chen Kefu care about this? As long as he wants, Chen Kefu will pick it up sooner or later. It's ridiculous that these clans in Jiangnan still want to keep their current interests, and they don't look back and think about it, not long ago, the clans in Hebei, Shandong, Huaibei and other places were purged. Zhende let Chen Kefu get Jiangnan, but I am afraid that it will be too late for these people to cry. They still want to seek skin with the tiger, but they don't want to think about it, maybe in Chen Kefu's eyes, Yijing has already become a meal in his eyes. If you don't come to eat them now, I believe it's just that the time has not yet come.

According to her previous style, she would not hesitate to refuse such a stupid plan. But at the end of yesterday, after thinking about it for a long time, she replied to her father with a long letter, expressing her compliance with the arrangement between her father and the family.
