Jiankang, the capital of the Chen Dynasty, is as famous as Chang'an, Luoyang and Yecheng, and is one of the largest cities in the world at that time, and it is also the only famous city located south of the Yangtze River.

During the Warring States Period, after the Yue King Goujian destroyed Wu, he built a new capital by the Yangtze River, named Yuecheng. One hundred and forty years later, Chu destroyed Yue and renamed this place Jinling. Later, there were Eastern Wu, Eastern Jin Dynasty and Song, Qi, Liang and Chen built their capitals here, which was the imperial city of the six dynasties, and the beautiful land of the three Wu. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this city was renamed Jiankang and has been used until today.

"Gold Dust Six Dynasties." Gu Huan lazily lay on the windowsill of Wangjiang Tower, looking at the rolling Yangtze River not far away, and couldn't help muttering.

"What?" Gao Su didn't hear clearly.

Gu Huan turned his head and smiled: "I still prefer the name Jinling." Jiankang feels very old-fashioned, just like the stone town, very boring. ”

"What can be too much metaphor for a place name?" Gao Su shook his head slightly. "This place has long been not called Jinling, after Sun Quan rebuilt the stone city, it was named Jianye, which is the meaning of meritorious service. In the Jin Dynasty, in order to avoid Sima Ye's secrecy, it was renamed Jiankang, which is also understandable. ”

Gu Huan looked at the city and sighed: "Now this city really doesn't look like Jinling, it's more appropriate to call it Baiyan City." ”

Gao Su couldn't help laughing, and reached out to touch her head, feeling very relieved in his heart. She's finally back to her old cuteness.

He has been married for two months, but he has not spent a good night with Concubine Zheng for a day.

Concubine Zheng has a docile and virtuous temperament, and when she is locked up in the house alone, she will cry silently, but when she comes out, she will not let people see anything unusual, and try her best to fulfill the duties of a housewife.

A few days later, she heard from her dowry maid that the prince slept with General Gu every night. At first, I thought that Gao Su was good at Longyang, but later I figured out that Gu Huan was a woman, not only with a prominent family background, but also with many military exploits, she was a unique female general in the world, with a third-grade official residence, and she was only sixteen years old. If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid that everyone will think that she is a very good match for Gao Su.

Concubine Zheng cried for a few days, then begged to see Gao Su and proposed to let him officially marry Gu Huan, although she was nominally a concubine, she was willing to make her the greatest, and would never compete with her for favor.

Gao Su sighed: "The princess has a good idea, and I have received it." Huan'er doesn't want to be a concubine, and I don't want to force her. There is no need to mention this matter again. Princess, Chang Gong has a heart, I can't stand you, please forgive me. …… Princess, I have been away from Lanling County for half a year, and I haven't taken care of anything in the fiefdom, I want to ask the princess to go back and help me handle the affairs over there, I don't know what the princess thinks? ”

Concubine Zheng knew that he and Gu Huan were in love, and now they must be inseparable, so they have to wait. The fathers and uncles in the family are not all the same, married three wives and four concubines, and there are confidantes in the Qinglou outside, but after all, they can't grow, and after a while, they will slowly cool down, and then they will throw away their hands, only the main room of the family has a real status after all. Before she got married, she listened to her parents' instructions, saying that the prince would definitely not be the only princess, and it was normal for her to have a few concubines and concubines in the family, so she must not be jealous and sad, and she must have the mind and bearing of being a princess. Now, Gao Su spoils Gu Huan alone and refuses to share a bed with her, although she is sad, she is prepared, and she will not be a jealous woman. Hearing Gao Su say this, it was exactly what she wanted. Out of sight and out of mind, it's best for her to leave temporarily.

Gao Su was relieved to see that she was reasonable, and immediately ordered the housekeeper to prepare, and sent a team of personal soldiers to escort her. Concubine Zheng soon set off and went to the county king's mansion in Cheng County.

From beginning to end, she had never seen Gu Huan.

Gao Su was afraid that her words would hurt Gu Huan, so he never let them have a chance to meet. Gu Huan was even more reluctant to see her. In any case, the woman was nominally Gao Su's wife, and she couldn't face him.

By the time Concubine Zheng left, it was already March.

The grass grows and the warbler flies, the wind is light and the clouds are light, Gu Huan refuses to stay at home anymore, and must go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers.

Gao Su asked her, "Where do you want to go?" ”

Gu Huan opened his mouth and said, "Jiankang." ”

Gao Su frowned: "What are you going to do there?" Chen Qian is seriously ill, his son is young, but his brother Chen Zuo has ill intentions, and the people of the Chen court are panicking, and it will be a civil strife. ”

Gu Huan was taken aback: "Chen Qian is sick now?" ”

In history, she didn't know what year Chen Qian died of illness, she always thought it was early, but she didn't expect it to be in front of her.

Gao Su felt that her words were very strange, but he didn't think much about it, so he said: "Yes, Chen Qian fell ill after the New Year, and now the illness is getting worse and worse, and it is likely to be cured." He didn't see anyone, as long as Han Zigao entered the palace. The two closed the palace gate, did not see anyone, and sent all the palace people out, and all the services were handled by Han Zigao. This is known to the world. Han Zigao was already in power, if Chen Qian was on his deathbed, he entrusted him as the minister of life, he could take down Chen Zuo and help the young emperor to come to the court, and from then on, just like the current He Shikai, he became the actual emperor of Chen State. He said the latter sentence very lowly.

The two of them often don't have too many scruples when chatting, and they can talk casually, relaxed and happy. Gu Huan shook his head after hearing this, and said affirmatively: "Han Zigao is not like a monk. He loves Chen Qian deeply, if Chen Qian dies, he will definitely be extremely sad, where does he still have the heart to manipulate power? ”

"You know him." Gao Su snorted. "Do you know him?"

"I don't know." Gu Huan hugged his waist with a smile and said lazily. "Han Zigao is a famous beautiful man, and so are you, I really want to see which of you two is more beautiful."

"Nonsense." Gao Su gently slapped her shoulder and couldn't help but laugh.

"Chang Gong." Gu Huan lengthened his voice. "Let me go."

Gao Su sighed and sighed, and finally said, "I'll go to the court to take leave and go with you." ”

Gu Huan raised his eyebrows, and then smiled happily.

Since that "Candle Night in the Cave Room", Gao Su has been in love with her gently, completely untying her heart knot, and she has gradually become lively again. Half of her vacation has passed, but she has never left Sizhou City, and she can't help but feel a little anxious and unwilling. She really wanted to see the rivers and mountains, and there were some people she wanted to see, such as Chen Qian and Han Zigao in Chen Guo, such as Yu Wenyong in Zhou Guo. It doesn't matter if Gao Su can't accompany her, she goes to walk all over the green mountains alone, it's the same, but she didn't expect Gao Su to go with her without hesitation, which makes her very happy.

He Shikai's handling of this matter was quite perfect, and not long after Gao Su's false recital was sent, the edict went down to Sizhou, and transferred Gao Su from Sizhou to Qingzhou to serve as the assassin, asking him to step down from now on and go to Qingzhou three months later to take office.

Gao Su immediately transferred the affairs of the military and government to the newly arrived Sizhou Assassin Shi, and then sent all the subordinates waiting here back to Lanling, leaving only his two entourages to escort Gao Ming and Gao Liang, and Qiu Yan and Chun Xi around Gu Huan naturally followed him.

Zheng Huaiying refused to leave and offered to go with them. There were many celebrities in the Southern Dynasty who were good at music and rhythm, and he wanted to travel and listen to the good music of others.

Gu Huan immediately agreed, and Gao Su naturally had no opinion.

Zheng Huaiying only brought a servant who took care of his daily life, and went on the road with them in a dashing manner.

They traveled all the way through the mountains and rivers and walked very calmly. After crossing the Yellow River, it passed through Liangzhou, South Yanzhou, Qiaozhou, and Western Chuzhou, and then arrived at the Yangtze River.

The state of Qi and the state of Chen were bounded by the Yangtze River, and the state of Chen had always been friendly with the state of Qi, but now that the state of Zhou was powerful, they gradually maintained a neutral attitude and maintained a delicate balance. The people of Qi and Chen were free to travel freely, and neither country forbade it.

Gao Su and Gu Huan were both dressed as the sons of Guijie, wearing the wide robes of the Eguan that the scribes loved, and they also learned from those scribes on their waists, hanging short swords. The swords hung by those literati and writers were all for the occasion, and Tai Ban did not even open the blade, but their short knives were the usual sharp weapons, and they had drunk the blood of many enemies, and they were more than enough for self-defense.

Zheng Huaiying also dressed as a scribe, but did not bring any swords, which was even more elegant. His servant carried the piano on his back and laughed with Qiuyan and Chunxi all the way, and was very happy.

Gao Su's two personal guards were more serious, but they were gradually infected by the relaxed atmosphere, and a smile gradually appeared on their faces.

On the Yangtze River, Gu Huan ran to bargain with people and hire a big boat. The group crossed the Yangtze River and soon arrived in Jiankang.

Less than two days after entering the city, the news of Chen Qian's death was released. The government prohibits all entertainment activities, all shops and private houses draped in red silk, red lanterns and other colorful objects must be removed, and white silk and white paper lanterns are hung instead, the silk and bamboo on the banks of the Qinhuai River are not heard, the music square dance hall is silent, the teahouse no longer sings gongs and operas, and the little girl who sings is no longer seen in the restaurant.

Gu Huan didn't feel sorry, and walked outside with Gao Su all day long. The two didn't want anyone else to follow, so they gave them money and let them play by themselves, pay attention not to cause trouble, don't show their stuffing, and go back to the inn at night.

Gao Su's face is too feminine, Gu Huan has to use some pollen to change the outline for him every day, so that he looks just ordinary and delicate, there are many men in Jiangnan who are like this, and it is also fashionable to apply powder, and no one will pay attention to them.

Every morning, Gao Su would sit by the window, raise her face and let her paint. Gu Huan's heart blossomed, and he often jokingly said: "The joy of the boudoir is more than that of a thrush?" ”

Gao Su didn't have a problem with her, and she was strict by nature, so she couldn't talk nonsense like her, so she had to smile and shake her head.

The two traveled together, walked around Jiankang City, ate together during the day, slept together at night, and were extremely happy.

Later, Gu Huan found the Wangjiang Tower closest to Miyagi, and stayed here every day, wanting to see Han Zigao.

Chen Qian loved him so much that she wanted to crown him the queen, and now that Chen Qian has passed away, I don't know what he will be sad about.

However, after so many days, she had never seen the great general who was said to be extraordinarily beautiful. She inquired about the shopkeeper without any scruples, and the guy seemed to have been used to it for a long time, and said flatly: "General Han is guarding the spirit in the palace, and he will not leave an inch." ”

Gu Huan suddenly realized.

It turned out to be so, and of course, it should be.

After the guy left, she turned her head to look at Gao Su and whispered, "They really love each other." ”

Gao Su moved over, put his arm around her shoulders gently, and nodded with a smile.
