"Did that guy come to give us a painting?"

"Almost."

"Thank you a lot to her."

"Since Sanhua Niangniang said so, then it should be so."

"That's right!"

"Sanhua Niangniang can already call the shots."

"It's already time to call the shots~"

"yes."

"We're hanging this on the wall too!"

"Since Sanhua Niangniang said so, then it should be so."

"That's right!"

The cat was still standing on the table, looking down at the painting.

With that said, the painting is certainly excellent......

Don't say it, the more you look at it, the more it looks like it!

"Let's go, Sanhua Niangniang."

"Where are you going?"

"Go buy the hook."

Since Sanhua Niangniang has already made the master, where does the Taoist priest dare to delay more, taking advantage of the fact that it is not yet the hottest time of the day, when he takes her out of the door, he goes to buy a hook.

When I came back, I asked Sanhua Niangniang, and she pointed out a place casually, and the Taoist took the hook and pressed it on the wall, easily embedded it in the wooden wall, and then hung the painting on it.

There are two paintings in the house.

A large painting hung horizontally, the landscape on the painting is like a fairyland, the aura is vivid and lifelike.

A vertical banner, painted on a corner of the mountain, but is a gentle spring, the back of the Taoist and the cat are accompanied by each other, everything is harmonious and natural, although the skill is not as good as the former, but it is also a good painting.

There are no superfluous decorations in the house, only these two paintings, but they are in line with the style of the simple furniture and mattress on the bed, and only add a little elegance to the room.

The Taoist stood in the middle of the room and looked at these two paintings for a long time, as if he was in a good mood.

At this point, you don't need to think about anything.

When I got tired of it, I went to take a nap.

……

After taking a nap, the Taoist sat down at his desk, spread out the paper, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote down the recent events one by one.

I have been observing the Cangshan map for half a month, and I have a lot of feelings.

It's just that too many of them are the perception of the way of heaven and the laws of the world in the dark, and they are mysterious and mysterious, and they can't be said or written, so they only mention a few sentences.

The name of the tea at the Anrakukan is well deserved.

Interestingly, the teahouse has been passed down in Changjing for hundreds of years, and there have been four generations, and I am afraid that these four generations are all one generation. The goblins are so hidden in Changjing and have lived for so long, it is also worth seeking.

When writing about today's noon, the Taoist paused.

It seems that a great demon with profound Taoism and good piano skills is hidden in the capital, and in order to repay the great favor, he is trapped here, but in fact, there is a power dispute facing the empire today.

This is going to talk about Princess Changping.

Although this princess is a daughter, she is really not to be underestimated, she is probably the most powerful and wealthiest princess in the Central Plains Dynasty in history.

As for why this is so, it is a long story.

Let's start with the empress in the past.

Da Yan had an empress before, there is no need to talk about the empress's merits, but her appearance has a huge impact on the world, and the most significant is the improvement of women's status.

The status of women in the feudal era was generally low, and this world was slightly better than the previous life for various reasons, but for thousands of years, there were also high and low.

During the reign of this empress, the status of women reached the highest, although it was still far inferior to men, but they were already able to do business and even politics, and there were female officials in the court. Even now, the status of women in Dayan is higher than that of all dynasties, and this influence is enough to pass on for more than a hundred years.

At the same time, more importantly, the existence of this empress has ignited the political ambitions of many women.

For generations after the empress, women often intervened in politics and even tried to control power, whether it was the queen, the queen mother, or the princess, they were much more active than in previous dynasties.

is like this princess of Changping, who showed extremely high political ability when she was young.

There are many more reasons for this.

Emperor Dayan's fertility is generally poor, and there are few children and grandchildren, which has to be said to be really detrimental to the stability of the world.

Although the former emperor was benevolent and charitable, he was widely acclaimed, but his descendants were really unstable - a total of three sons were born, one died within a few days of birth, one fell into a well and died when he was a child, and another grew up smoothly but was not in good health, and died earlier than the emperor, so the inheritance of the throne became a problem.

At that time, the court and the clan were arguing and proposing a variety of plans, but the emperor was hesitant.

The world has even been in turmoil because of this.

In the end, with the joint efforts of the current emperor and Princess Changping, the former emperor and the imperial court chose the younger brother of the former emperor, that is, the current emperor to inherit the unification.

The emperor was in his thirties at the time.

Princess Changping is less than twenty.

Later, the emperor did not treat Princess Changping badly and gave her a lot of power. This emperor was more ambitious than his brother, more resolute in temperament, and keen to expand his territory, and correspondingly, he had to spend less energy in governing the country, and these places, before the appearance of the national teacher, were made up by this princess.

Again, the problem lies with the offspring.

When the emperor first ascended the throne, although the prince was not as shrewd as her sister, he was still a prince, but within two years, the only prince also died of illness.

The princess's heart burned.

In the panic of the court, some people also fell to her.

Later, the emperor gave birth to two princes in a row, but he was really old, and the emperor was strong enough, he had reigned for more than 30 years, and he was nearly 70 years old, and his body looked very tough.

The two princes also grew up.

But how could the princess, who had already burned her heart, and the ministers who had fallen to her, be willing?

This is actually a struggle for power in this dynasty.

A princess who is nearly fifty years old, has the skill of supporting dragons, and has been operating in the court for many years, two princes who are only in their teens, and the old emperor who is about to be seventy years old.

It will be a major event in history anyway.

The Taoist knows that the world is big, life is short, it is not easy to see the world in 20 years, and the time to spend in Changjing will not be too long, and this kind of historical drama of the throne dispute often takes several years or even more than ten years to deduce, in fact, he did not pay attention to these very deliberately, but he did not expect that he still saw some from different angles and in different ways.

This feeling is completely different from the feeling of future generations re-reading history, or when the world sees it in books and hears about it from the mouth of a storyteller.

In this era, in a place of dispute, even if you don't intervene for some reason, you will still be affected by it and feel its existence. Because such a major event is really closely related to everyone in the world.

It's like the demon who made trouble in Changjing, like the time of curfew, like the government decree brought about by the transfer of officials and the struggle for power, like the big demon who came to the door today......

It's all about the authenticity of history that can only be felt in this era and place.

I don't know how much bloody rain it is.

It's just that Taoists are Taoists and passers-by, even if they are the ancestors of the past generations of Fulongguan, the same is true - if it is not clear that a result will definitely bring a good direction, otherwise try not to intervene, let history make its correct choice, and go through it, only as a witness, at most write down some words, maybe many years later, there will be descendants who will explore the truth of history from the words they wrote.

“……”

The Taoist shook his head and sighed with emotion, and continued to write.

Next to him, a cat sat upright, with its tail around its little feet, tilting its head to stare at him.

“……”

The Taoist looked back at her helplessly.

In the past, when the cat was illiterate, he used to play with the lanyard of the brush on the table when he recounted his travels. Now that I know how to read, I don't have to pull the lanyard, but I just tilt my head and concentrate on what you write, and it seems that the interference is greater than before.

"What are you looking at?" Sensing his gaze, the cat looked at him and asked him back.

"Nothing." Song You withdrew his gaze.

"Then why do you look at Sanhua Niangniang?"

“……”

"Why didn't you write it?"

"How many words does Sanhua Niangniang know?"

"Some know, some don't."

"When Sanhua Niangniang knows more words, you won't be able to watch me write these anymore."

"Why?"

The three-flowered cat stared at him with burning eyes.

"Because it's a travelogue."

"Why?"

"How can you say that?"

“……”

Sanhua Cat looked him up and down, with a serious expression, and said for a long time:

"You're not smart!"

With that, she turned around and jumped off the table.

Ran to play with his own cloth ball.

“……”

The Taoist shook his head and continued to write.

The planks upstairs were so old that they were peeling and discolored, and they were uneven. When the cat does not deliberately light its steps, it is already tinkling when it runs, and when it plays with the ball, it runs fast and strongly, and often steps on the wooden floor and warps over to make a sound. It's just that the cat doesn't care, and it can't argue with the Taoist, and both sides seem to have long been used to it.

The Taoist said as he wrote: "Does Sanhua Niangniang know what time it is today? ”

"When?"

The cat also replied while playing.

"Xiao Xia."

"Mouse?"

The cat stopped and turned to look at him, his face full of confusion.

"The heat of the scorching heat."

"The rat of the Kurat?"

"Yes."

"Little Kurat!"

"After a small summer, it is a big summer."

"Rat!"

The cat became interested and stared at him still.

"After the great heat, it is the beginning of autumn."

"Liqiu!!"

Sanhua Cat was completely interested, and ignored the ball on the ground, but sat down and stared at him.

The Taoist felt that he was finished, and he was silent.

The cat was not in a hurry, and stared at him from behind.

Time passed.

This period after the summer heat is the hottest period in Changjing, most of the time it is extremely hot, and a few times it is too hot to work, but fortunately, the bamboo mat is cool, and there are no other shortcomings except for the hair. However, Sanhua Niangniang can endure it all over her body, and Taoist people can naturally endure it.

Occasionally, there would be a few cool breezes, and the Taoist would open the windows of the small building so that the cool breeze could come in.

Lying on the bamboo mat bed and feeling the cool breeze is the best time of summer, the streets are so sunny in the afternoon that even people don't want to come out, the shops have no business, and the world is so quiet that only the sound of cicadas is left.
