"The Tian family has few idle months, and people are busy in May. After the Dragon Boat Festival, the south wind that came over the Qinling Mountains slowly blew the green trees of the Guanzhong Plain and the wheat of the land in Guanzhong yellow. Li Yu stood in the field, couldn't help but want to praise the great power of nature, the great power of human beings, in front of him a large open and endless field of scorched wheat, the wheat waves rolling, like a yellow gold carpet, exuding brilliant light, and the green trees in the distance, the blue sky overhead, and the pedestrians like three or two black spots on the horizon, constitute a wonderful landscape painting, even the best painter can not outline the charm of this picture, Li Yu who was standing on the edge of the field thought so, while looking up at Li Chun, who performed the sacrificial duties in his place. Li Yu hated red tape, and all ceremonies that could be replaced by someone were said to be unwell, so the emperor's eldest son, Li Chun, accepted the heavy responsibility happily and painfully.

With the order of Du Huangshang, who was born in Taichangqing, the sacrificial ceremony of the emperor's eldest son Li Chun pretending to be a ghost ended, and the entire Guanzhong Plain entered a busy summer harvest, and the focus of the entire imperial court also shifted to summer grain. Whether it is an agricultural society or an industrial society, food is the soul of society and the heaven of the people. The great Mao Da said, "There is grain in the hand, the heart is not panicked, down-to-earth, and jubilant", at the Tang Empire summer grain harvest work conference, Li Yu did not change his face and plagiarized Mao Dadi's absolute truth, requiring all departments and organs to work together, and the grassroots (county level) should go deep into the fields to organize the summer harvest and seed rush work, and ensure that the particles are returned to the warehouse.

Du Huangshang, the secretary of the Chinese book, and Du You, the inspector of the school, spoke successively, pointing out the importance of the summer harvest work to the completion of the annual work plan of Datang. In order to show that the central government of the Tang Dynasty attaches great importance to the summer harvest work, although the farmers in Guanzhong are exempt from taxes this year, except for the emperor's eldest son Li Chun. Li Jing, Li Wei and other princes, Quan Deyu, Wei Cigong, Wei Zhiyi and other ministers were also assigned to various places and devoted themselves to the vigorous summer grain harvesting work.

Cutting wheat, playing fields, and being busy for many days have made the farmers in the land of Guanzhong much darker and thinner, but the joy of the harvest is full of everyone's eyebrows. This year, His Majesty Shengming, cherish the people, exempt from taxes, many farmers feel that the weight of the boulder on the body is reduced a lot, it is said that the emperor will be exempt from tax next year, although the farmers are tired, the spirit is extremely vigorous, every time it is dark to get off work, there is a good voice to sing a loud song, reverberation, twists and turns, but there is no sadness in the past, a little more cheerful.

Many officials who went to the countryside also felt the joy in these songs, and although they were tired, they were in a very comfortable mood. A few years ago, when the Taoist king Li Shi was Jing Zhaoyin, he sold grain and even sold his sons and daughters, and the cruel social reality made many young talents disheartened, and this year, the cheerful singing in the fields again made many people's hearts warm again. Smelling the fragrance of ripe wheat in the fields, many people thought, "What a good harvest." Some officials also beat the peasants' songs, and even hummed alongside. Among these officials, there are Bai Juyi, Yuan Zhen, as well as Liu Yuxi and Liu Zongyuan.

When the battle of harvesting was in full swing in various parts of Guanzhong, the battle in Chang'an City was also in full swing.

First of all, Chang'an and nearby guards. After Xue Yingzhen's case, the emperor let out the wind to rectify the army, and recently heard that the emperor is preparing to assess the generals before the summer harvest and autumn, and those who excel in the assessment will be promoted and rewarded. There are as many as 150,000 Shence troops, and the fact that the Shence army knows is equivalent to most of the troops in Guanzhong know. Moreover, most of the generals of the army have relatives, friends and family members in Chang'an, and among the young men in the military circles of Chang'an, there are many people who have a good relationship with Li Yu, who has been favored by the emperor recently, and Li Yu often enters the palace to stay in the palace, and he is bold, and he likes to drink if he does not drink well, so it is much easier to listen to the news from Li Yu, and the news has been confirmed from another channel. The current army is no longer the government military system when the founding of the country was founded, but the recruitment system, the army near Chang'an, especially the guards, the treatment is not as good as the Shence army, and the promotion opportunity is small, where can you miss this opportunity? So, despite the hot weather, the army stepped up its training.

Some people are happy and some are worried, and the common people are naturally happy, and some of the old people even cry and say to the people around them: "Such a scene has not been seen for fifty years since Tianbao." And the eyeliner of the various towns in Chang'an is not so happy. So the secret communication lines from Chang'an to the towns suddenly became busy, the routes were different, but the content was similar: the emperor was quite ambitious. And the response of the towns is unknown.

In addition to the summer harvest and the army's drills, the most eye-catching and in full swing in Chang'an City is the dispute between Juliu and Liu. In the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, people almost have to talk when they meet. Without exception, public opinion has an extremely bad evaluation of these two people. The status of eunuchs in people's hearts is not high, not to mention, the news from the little eunuchs who came out to do business in the palace is that these two eunuchs even lifted the emperor's wine?

It turned out that just after the Dragon Boat Festival two days ago, the emperor was worried about the two fighting, so he ordered Wang Shuwen to persuade Ju Wenzhen and Liu Guangqi respectively.

"Wang Sheren, that is His Majesty's favorite master when he was in the East Palace. You see how much Your Majesty attaches great importance to the affairs of these two people, right? In the wine shop in Chang'an City, a fat man with a fat head and big ears spit and spit, dancing and gesturing, it was the brother who loved to watch the excitement, he was caught by Yuan Zhi twice and didn't ask why, but now he is angry, surrounded by a group of people.

Seventy-year-old Wang Shuwen worked tirelessly, running between the two people's mansions and the left and right Shence army, telling them that the emperor was very concerned about their affairs, and the emperor thought that if they continued to fight, they would lose both, "Wang Sheren said, 'The emperor can't bear to punish the first emperor's courtiers, but he also doesn't want the two to hurt the harmony, both of them are important ministers and close ministers trusted by the emperor, so the emperor is very embarrassed, it is better to sell the old man a face, how about making peace for the two?' ’”

Ju Wenzhen and Liu Guangqi, who felt that they were very passable in face, reluctantly accepted Wang Shuwen's invitation and came to the Hanlin Courtyard for a banquet.

The two of them were talking at first, pretending to be a human being, but as a result, the two quarreled as they spoke. That Ju Wenzhen was so angry that he actually lifted the table. It was a royal banquet from the emperor! The soup splashed Yang Zhilian and Sun Rongyi, the two lieutenants. ”

"Those two eunuchs are not good birds, did they do less bad things when the first emperor was there? You deserve it. Someone in the crowd interjected.

"What about the king's housekeepers? Wang Sheren is a good man. A few days ago, I saw him in Dongshi, and said that the court was in sight. But there was a person on the side who was really funny, and his hands trembled when he heard Wang Sheren say this. Another listener said.

"The people of the royal house are no better. Listening to the little yellow door that came out of the palace, Wang Sheren had vegetable leaves on his beard, and he was trembling with anger, saying that he would never care about this matter anymore. The fat man continued.

"These two eunuchs are really lawless. I don't know how the emperor endured them for so long, could it be that he was also afraid of them? A young man blurted out.

"Shhh This little brother, let's just listen to music, why take it seriously? When it reaches their ears, you must not look good. The fat man said dissatisfied.

The young man smiled and said, "Second Brother Jin, how do they know what role I am?" Tell me, I'll wait. ”

The fat man had to continue: "You don't know, the emperor is a benevolent monarch, because they have served the first emperor and are therefore polite, but they are not afraid of them. After this incident, the emperor was also furious, and it is said that Gonggong Ku was fined half a year. ”

"What about Liu Guangqi?" The young man asked again.

Before the fat man could answer, he heard a tide of people outside, and there seemed to be a great commotion, so he immediately stopped talking, listened attentively for a while, and suddenly got up and ran out, and everyone was already quiet, seeing him like this. I couldn't help but laugh. Xiao Er chased him out and shouted, "Jin Er, you didn't give any money." The crowd laughed again and dispersed. The young man who came out of the wine shop said: "When you clean up these geldings, Chang'an City will really be peaceful." The people on the side nodded yes, and when they saw two officials from Chang'an County coming from afar, they hurriedly pulled the sleeves of this young man's shirt and left.
