The New Day of October is approaching, and it is customary to eat mochi soup and bean rice.

But now in this chaotic era, for the ministers of Luoyang, where to find flax? I'm running out of food.

I searched and searched in the palace, but only found a little, and it was definitely not enough to entertain the ministers. Fortunately, you can also use yellow rice soup instead, so make do with it, after all, Huang Zu once set up millet soup on the ship to entertain guests in the Han Dynasty.

On September 25, when Wang Yan met the Son of Heaven in the pavilion by the Lingzhi Pond, the Son of Heaven was reprimanding the palace people for not having enough flax, and Empress Liang also bowed her head and wept silently.

The internal affairs of the palace are in charge of the queen, and what needs to be used at four o'clock and eight festivals is also asked for instructions from the queen. Now I can't even find flax, can the Son of Heaven not reprimand the queen?

Wang Yan coughed lightly and signaled for him to arrive.

The Son of Heaven put away his anger, looked at Wang Yan, snorted coldly, and walked straight along the pavilion road to the fishing platform.

The fishing platform is not high, just a few steps away from the pool, which is suitable for fishing.

Lingzhi pond is not big, located in front of Fanglin Garden (Hualin Garden), "one hundred and fifty steps wide, two zhang deep." ”

There are two boats in the pond, called "Crane Boat and Guide Boat" - it is certainly not for electric fish.

The Son of Heaven sat on a small rope chair, and when he flicked the fishing rod, the hook fell into the water.

"I heard that there are flax in Xuchang." After Wang Yan said this, he found a Hu bed and sat down.

He didn't wonder why there were Hu beds in the palace.

When the first emperor was there, Chen Gong offered a few to enter the palace, and they soon became popular, because it was really comfortable to sit.

"What do you mean?" Sima Chi turned his head and asked.

Wang Yan didn't answer, but said: "There are Huns in Yanzhou who have entered the Kou, and Mrs. Xuchangyu ordered more than 10,000 Hu cakes to be made in the kitchen in order to motivate the morale of the soldiers, and sent them to the army. ”

It is difficult to say why Hu Cake is called this name, one said that it was passed from the Hu people in the Western Regions, so it is called Hu Cake; One said that it was topped with flax (sesame seeds), so it was called Hu cake.

After the Zhao period of the Sixteen Kingdoms, Shile forbade his subjects to say the word "Hu", and the Hu cake was renamed "Fighting Furnace", because it was baked in the oven, so it got its name. After Shi Hu succeeded to the throne, he felt that the name was too abstract and changed his name to "hemp cake". After the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it reverted to its original name "Hu Cake", which was the popular food of the Tang Dynasty.

But no matter what, there must be sesame seeds on the Hu cake, Wang Yan said this, the Son of Heaven will only be more angry - every horse has flax to eat, and he is the lord of the world, is it like words?

"Shao Xun stole my grain." Weather said angrily.

As soon as the sound was loud, the fish ran away, so they became even more angry.

Wang Yan did not answer the words of the Son of Heaven's lack of political intelligence, but only said: "Xuchang has sent people to send five carts of flax into Beijing. ”

The Son of Heaven was so focused on fishing that he didn't want to say anything.

"There is still a shrine this time, and it is difficult to say whether there will be next time." Wang Yan said.

The Son of Heaven shook his hand, and the fish that had just bitten the hook ran away.

Wang Yan glanced at the pool noodles.

Who keeps so many fish in this pool? You can see the swinging tail of the fish when you stand on the fishing platform, and it would be silly if you can't catch it again.

"Your Majesty should not ban the distribution of grain and grass." Wang Yan continued: "Even if Luoyang is short of food and there are thieves outside, it shouldn't be like this. ”

Sima Chi glared at Wang Yan.

The words are still those words, but the attitude is not as respectful as before, this old thing was thrown at Shao Xun early in the morning, but he came to pretend to be a good person in front of me, how ridiculous!

"Your Majesty, do you know that the Battle of Shamati is over?" Wang Yan asked.

After hearing this, Sima Chi's face changed, and then he looked at Wang Yan with a little hopeful gaze and asked, "Ru...... How is it? ”

"The king won a great victory, captured 15,000 people, and captured Wang Zhang, the general of the puppet Han Chinese army." Wang Yan said slowly.

Sima Chi was shocked and lowered his head in despair.

Queen Liang Lanbi came over with snacks surrounded by palace people, she didn't hear the conversation between the two in front of her, only heard the results of the battle of Shama Causeway that Wang Yan said, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and said happily: "The concubine just came, and she heard such good news." Chen Gong broke the Huns, Luoyang can be regarded as turning the corner, right? Thankfully, the people of the city were saved. ”

"A woman's opinion!" Sima Chi snorted coldly and said.

Liang Lanbi was startled, lowered her head uneasily, and didn't dare to speak.

"Chen Gong is a minister of the country, and he has made great contributions to Luojing." Wang Yan stood up and said, "If there is no Duke Chen, what will happen after Luoyang is broken, Your Majesty should think about it carefully." ”

After speaking, he saluted the queen again and said, "The minister has retired." ”

"Does Shao Xun want to do Yin Huo's things, or do you want to do things recklessly?" Sima Chi asked suddenly.

Wang Yan stopped.

Since the Son of Heaven said it, there was no need for him to hide it, and said directly: "After breaking the Huns, Duke Chen will return to Xuchang, Your Majesty should not worry." ”

"What does he want?"

"Preserve the ears of the people."

Sima Chi sneered.

Wang Yan didn't stay anymore and left. Before leaving, he also gestured to the queen with his eyes.

Liang Lanbi doesn't know why, what is Taiwei doing?

"Your Majesty, the concubine has done-" Liang Lanbi cleaned up the grievances in her heart, squeezed out a smile, and stepped forward slowly.

"Shut up!" Sima Chi rebuked impatiently.

Liang Lanbi's nose was sour, and she almost shed tears.

However, she was accustomed to the cold words of the Son of Heaven, silently put the snack on the table, and prepared to leave.

"Wait." The Son of Heaven put away the fishing rod, waved his hand to rebuke the palace people, walked in front of Liang Lanbi, and asked in a low voice: "Now that Chang'an has been restored, General Wei is a wealthy family in Guanxi, if the capital is moved to Chang'an-"

"Your Majesty, no." Liang Lanbi hurriedly stopped: "Chang'an has no luck to lose, and there is a military and civilian supply of 100 million yuan, so it may be difficult to maintain." Moreover, His Majesty's suspension of military rations, although there was a reason for the incident, had annoyed Duke Chen, and he might not be able to make the trip. ”

Sima Chi sneered constantly.

Liang Lanbi looked sad, but still persuaded: "Your Majesty, the matter has come to this, what more can you ask for?" Chen Gongming is reasonable, and he will not mess around. ”

Sima Chi glanced at the queen deeply, and suddenly asked: "I heard that in the past, you and Yu Wenjun were traveling, and you met a wild Taoist on the road, saying that you both have phoenixes, can this be true?" ”

Liang Lanbi looked at the Son of Heaven in disbelief.

Very few people know about this, except for her and Yu Wenjun, there are only the maids beside them.

The more Liang Lanbi thought about it, the paler her face became, could it be revealed by the maid who married into the palace? Do anything to compete for favor?

Ridiculous! It's ridiculous! Liang Lanbi shed tears again, His Majesty would rather review the music all night, or fish in the Lingzhi Pond and never return all night, rather than ......

Compete for favor, what kind of pet is you fighting for!

"It looks like it's true!" Sima Chi's face also turned pale.

Such unsubstantiated anecdotes, if you usually listen to them, you can laugh at most. But at this time, the more I listened, the more I didn't feel good, and the more I listened, the more frightened I became.

Yu Wenjun has Fengge and wants to be the queen, so who is the Son of Heaven?

Sima Chi thought about it, and actually trembled a little.

Shao Xun is not a scholar, he likes to fight and kill, and he is vulgar and unliterate, will he be used to solving problems with a butcher's knife?

Could it be that even Shanyang Gong can't do it?

However, Wang Yifu said that Shao Xun would not try to control Luoyang, but would return to Xuchang by himself, which made him a little confused.

Is this man really relieved that I'll be behind him—to block him?

Sima Chi couldn't figure it out, and when he saw that Liang Lanbi was still crying, he was bored in his heart, and shook his hand and left.

There's only so much he can do now.

After the defeat of Xin'an, I don't know if the forbidden army can still command, alas.

******

After Wang Yan left the palace, he returned to the Taiwei Mansion located in the Kaiyang Gate in the southeast of Luoyang.

When passing through Tongtuo Street, I heard the noise of wave after wave, and I was very surprised.

Tongtuo Street is a common name, and its original name is "Chang Nan Street".

The gate is one of the main gates on the south side of Miyagi, and there is an imperial road that leads south to Pyeongchang Gate.

Cao Wei, put the copper camel beasts in the south street, the camel is nine feet high, very eye-catching, so it is named.

Well, at this time, these copper beasts such as copper camels, copper horses, and copper turtles are still there, because they are too bulky for thieves to steal. However, if it is invaded by foreign troops, it is difficult to say, and it may melt the coinage.

There are a large number of shops on both sides of Tongtuo Street, selling all kinds of goods, and Wang Yan's wife Guo Shi indirectly runs a few, making money every day.

Due to the tense situation, these shops have basically closed, and Tongtuo Street has been deserted for many days.

But today it's strange, why is it suddenly lively.

Wang Yan lifted the curtain of the ox cart and glanced out, only to see many merchants open the partition of the shop and come to the street in high spirits, listening to the cheers in the distance.

"Great victory! Great victory! ”

"In the battle of Shamadi, Shao Taibai killed 100,000 Huns and shook the river."

"Great victory! Shao Taibai captured the thief general Wang Zhang and the Bohai king Liu Fu in the first battle. ”

"Shi Le heard the defeat and left in embarrassment, Luoyang was saved!"

After Wang Yan heard this, he laughed.

That's how the rumors spread.

100,000 Huns, haha, too much, three or two thousand people are about the same.

In addition, Wang Zhang is a general of the Chinese army, how can it be passed that the word "Chinese army" is missing and he has become a general? If the person who writes history does not discern it, there may be a fallacy.

However, Wang Yan didn't bother to say anything.

It's a good feeling to be in this ecstatic atmosphere.

The people of Luoyang need the encouragement of victory too much, even if it is only a temporary victory.

People's hearts, people's hearts, Wang Yan sighed.

The people of the city should be able to hear the cheers of the people all over the city, what will happen when the Son of Heaven knows about it?

When the officials, generals, and soldiers heard about it, what would happen?

The background color of this court is changing little by little.

The situation in the world is also changing little by little.

What can King Zongwen do?
