Chapter 101: Phoenix Out of Luo, Jade Seal in the World
Luoyang, night.
With the opening of the Silk Road, this ancient name has regained its splendor.
The flow of people is surging, and merchants are constantly coming and going.
When it comes to prosperity, it is no less than Bianjing.
The taxes collected, driven by the Silk Road economy, are catching up with Bianjing.
Since the late Tang Dynasty, the curfew policy has long existed in name only.
Except for remote towns, there are no night activities at night.
In a big city like Luoyang, the nightlife is extremely rich.
Therefore, even late at night, the most prosperous East Market and West Market in Luoyang are still crowded with people.
Li Yu, whose name has been changed on the street, is surrounded by stars and is walking on the street of Luoyang with a little drunkenness.
Li Yu said that what sounds good is that he is sensitive, but what sounds bad is that he is heartless.
After Luo Youdu was pardoned, Li Yu knew that Luo Youdu had no intention of punishing their father and son, but hoped that he could use his talents in the Central Plains.
Li Yu is the best at this, isn't he just drinking and bragging about visiting brothels?
What's so difficult?
He, Li Liulang, has always been a courteous prostitute when visiting brothels. It couldn't be simpler.
Under Luo Youdu's connivance, Li Yu gained freedom and began his previous life in Kaifeng: chatting with literati and poets, quoting scriptures, inviting famous prostitutes with friends, boating on the lake, and falling in love with the mountains and rivers.
For a man like him who is so amazingly talented and beautiful, a plain life cannot give him passion.
But under the great joy and sorrow, the inspiration flows like a spring.
The petty-mindedness of the car god Zhao Kuangyi created the tragic Li Yu, with tragic phrases such as "The Poppy, When Will the Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon Come" and "Happy Meeting, the Forest Flowers Withered the Spring Red".
Luo Youdu gave Li Yu the freedom to do what he liked and was good at, creating another style of Li Yu.
Li Yu came to Luoyang for a visit that day. As soon as he entered Luoyang, he was surrounded by talented people from all over Luoyang.
Visit the Longmen Grottoes during the day and get drunk on the oiran's bed at night.
It wasn't until early in the morning that we left the brothel and went home together.
Suddenly, a harsh cry exploded in my ears.
In the dark night sky, a ball of flames shot straight into the sky.
In the distant sky, a firebird was flying in the sky, and the faint sound of phoenixes could be heard.
It soon disappeared into the night sky.
The whole process only takes a dozen breaths.
Li Yu was dumbfounded.
Yang Pu, a celebrity next to him, said in shock: "This is Fengming Jiuxiao..."
Wu Yuanfan reacted and shouted: "Xiangrui! This is Jiarui. We are lucky enough to see it. We have no regrets in this life. Your Majesty is indeed worthy of the eternal sage..."
Wu Yuanfan was the third son of Wu Tingzuo who stayed in Tokyo. Naturally, he spoke to the Central Plains court.
The ancients believed in the theory of auspiciousness and believed that it was an omen granted by God. They also divided auspiciousness into five levels, namely: Jiarui, Dali, upper auspiciousness, middle auspiciousness and lower auspiciousness.
Among them, the unicorn, phoenix, turtle, dragon and white tiger are known as the Five Spirits and the King of Kings.
Secondly, Jingxing and Qingyun are the great auspiciousness, white wolf and red rabbit are the upper auspiciousness; Cangniao and red goose are the middle auspiciousness; Jiahe, Zhicao and Mulianli are the lower auspiciousness.
This phoenix appears in the world, and the phoenix sings in the sky. It is the king Jiarui, the best kind.
Li Yu took a long time to say: "With the five colors, hundreds of birds will follow you when flying, and the world will be peaceful when you see it."
Recalling the previous scene, the grand scene of the Central Plains and Luo Youdu's magnanimity and virtue came to mind, and I felt the urge to put pen to paper.
Don’t look at ancient times with modern people’s thinking and suffer from the limitations of knowledge.
It is normal for the ancients to interpret some supernatural things as divine gifts.
Many abnormal things are caused by their true belief in the existence of gods and deities, and are caused by deviations in their understanding and cognition. They are not ignorant in the eyes of future generations.
There were many tourists on Luoyang Street late at night, and many people saw this scene with their own eyes.
Compared to their amazement, many people even knelt on the ground and began to kowtow in the direction where the Phoenix disappeared, praying for blessings.
The locals looked at the place where Phoenix disappeared and muttered: "That should be Xuanwu Tower!"
The next day, everyone in the streets and alleys of Luoyang discussed the same thing: Jiarui appeared in the world, the phoenix sang in the sky, and the world was peaceful.
Especially those who were lucky enough to see the phoenix at night described the situation vividly.
As the news spread, it became more and more miraculous, and the tone of the conversation began to change.
What kind of phoenix is flying in the sky of Luoyang, followed by thousands of birds, flying in the direction of Bianjing.
After Luo Youdu ascended the throne, he stayed close to virtuous ministers and stayed away from villains, and made considerable achievements in civil and military affairs.
The people of Luoyu have gained long-lost stability, and the people's hearts have returned.
But when it comes to the two places that have made the biggest profits, none are better than Kaifeng Bianjing and the ancient capital Luoyang.
Kaifeng and Bianjing are the capital of the country. The imperial court is prosperous and it is natural that the capital will benefit from it. There is no need to say more.
In Luoyang's early years, Luoyang was deeply troubled by the Ten Fathers headed by Chai Shouli. Because of Guo Rong's relationship, no one dared to take care of this matter, and it was difficult to take care of it.
After Luo Youdu came to the throne, he immediately dealt with Chai Shouli and killed his ten grandfathers.
Then the Silk Road was opened, starting from Luoyang, allowing Luoyang's economy to develop rapidly.
There is no doubt that Luoyang under the Luo Yu court was the fastest growing place.
Luoyang is good, and the people in Luoyang are naturally good and live a prosperous life. They are naturally grateful to Luo Youdu for giving them such a life.
Therefore, the people of Luoyang were the most supportive of Luo Youdu.
This deification beautified him, and he was not stingy with words of praise.
Some even hailed him as the Ziwei Emperor from heaven who came down to earth in order to save the world and end a century of turmoil.
Isn’t that how Ye Shi came to be?
Soon the common people in Luoyang discovered that no matter how the rumors spread, they all had one thing in common, that is, the place where the Fire Phoenix appeared was in Xuanwu Tower.
Xuanwu Tower is a tall building in the Royal Garden of Luoyang City, where the royal family can visit.
However, this Xuanwu Building burned down twenty-five years ago.
It was Li Congke, the last emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, who, after Shi Jingtang and the Khitan coalition forces were approaching Luoyang and the situation was over, took the Imperial Seal with the Empress Dowager Cao, Empress Liu, his son Li Chongmei and others to board the Xuanwu Tower and burned himself to death.
Xuanwu Tower also collapsed at that time, and the royal garden naturally no longer existed.
People rushed to the ruins of Xuanwu Tower to worship.
Xuanwu Tower has long been deserted, and there is no ruins at all.
At first glance, it is full of potholes, with countless large and small potholes.
The entire terrain sank by more than ten feet.
Along with Li Congke's disappearance, the Chuanguo Jade Seal also disappeared. In order to find the Chuanguo Jade Seal, Shi Jingtang had already dug three feet into the ground and rummaged through every piece of land.
However, the jade seal of the state will only appear when a truly virtuous and virtuous person becomes the emperor.
Especially when the emperor has a shameless man named Zhao Pu.
Wu Tingzuo, who was left behind in Luoyang, held the jade seal found by the people during the sacrifice. His hands were shaking with fear. He quickly sent someone to send this fatal thing to Bianjing along with the auspiciousness of the phoenix.
The phoenix emerges from Luo, and the jade seal appears.
This stunt must be loud.
At the court meeting, Luo Youdu took out the dark and earthy jade seal in front of the civil and military officials of the court.
