Bianliang City does not close the market at night and the city gates are not locked. It is a bright city without night.
At this time, there was a brightly lit large boat coming through the wind and waves on the Bianhe River waterway that led directly to the city. On both sides of the bank, there were many people riding horses, sitting in sedan chairs, and walking, all holding lanterns in various styles and colors.
The lanterns are colorful, but each lantern has three clearly identifiable characters "Ruxuefang" on it.
This is what Yang Hao came up with from the idea that some modern companies provide umbrellas, paper bags with their own company logos to customers in order to market their customers. It doesn't cost much, but the effect is excellent.
The night market in Bianliang was already very prosperous. Suddenly, such a fire dragon entered the city, attracting the attention of countless people. Fortunately, Yang Hao had already informed the Kaifeng government officials, and everyone knew that such a move would be carried out tonight, otherwise
It's hard to guarantee that someone won't rush back to the government office to beat drums as a warning.
There are lights everywhere on the big ship, as bright as day. There is a high pole on the bow, with a string of red lights on it, and the big characters "Ruxuefang" hanging on it. On the bow, headed by Liu Duo'er, there are countless young girls wearing apricot and pear flower crowns.
Standing on the railing under the lamp, you can hear the laughter and singing of orioles. On the banks of the Bianhe River on both sides, there are countless people holding lanterns and singing loudly.
The streets of Bianliang, filled with the fragrance of BMWs and cars, suddenly became a new sight. The brightly lit streets were like a paradise on earth. Many people crowded out to see the gorgeous painted boats, brothels and prostitutes that entered the city under the guard of two fire dragons.
The strings of Chinese silk and bamboo were playing continuously, and the guests who were busy arrogantly hugged the waist of the young girl and boarded the small building. They were surprised to see the laughter and laughter on both sides of the Bian River resounding throughout the city in the hazy night.
There were also many people with their sons and daughters in the Shegou Column, and they ran excitedly to both sides of the Bianhe River.
In the past, there were a lot of boats coming and going on the Bianhe River. It seemed like there was an agreement tonight. Many boats disappeared and they all made way for the boat. On the broad and majestic Bianhe River, there was only one big boat riding on the rolling water, carrying a boat with elegant lights.
Music, with countless star-like lanterns on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, came in a mighty manner. The reflection into the water, the interplay of light and shadow, picturesque and poetic, pleasing to the eye...
In the refreshing night breeze and the blurry lights, the fortune teller also abandoned his stall. He held the Tai'a sword made of gold paper in his right hand and the banner of "Behead the world without learning with one voice" in his left hand, and squeezed into the crowd to watch.
There was a lot of excitement. At the right time, fireworks were suddenly set off on the boat, and suddenly thousands of pear trees bloomed high in the night sky, pushing the people's joy to a new climax.
The Song Dynasty emphasized commerce, but the commercial atmosphere and cultural taste of the Song Dynasty were very integrated. They were wealthy but not vulgar, bold but not stingy.
." I will never forget the prosperous scene of Bianliang...
The disciples try their best to be happy, and are not afraid that someone will accuse him of being absurd and delaying his future. There is no market for the too stupid etiquette in today's Song Dynasty. From the officials to the common people, they promote happiness.
Officials are happy and the people are happy, and the whole world is happy. If you don't let the people live happily, what's the use of you?
"Tear it down, keep on tearing it down!" An inappropriate voice suddenly came out among the endless singing and laughter. Cheng Dexuan came out of a small alley in disgrace, and just now he didn't know who threw a bag of stove ashes from the dark place.
With anger on his face, he ran out, heard the noise of laughter on the Bianhe River, and hurriedly stood on the half-dismantled low wall at the entrance of the alley and looked there.
He also knew that Yang Hao had invited Liu Xingshou from "Ruxuefang" for a picnic tonight, and knew about his plans to return to the city tonight. He saw the painted boats coming on the Bian River, with two fire dragons forming on both sides.
It was him who was back. From a distance, he seemed to be able to see Yang Hao, who was standing on the bow of the ship, surrounded by incense and with a spring breeze on his face, and an unknown anger could not help but rise in his heart.
He stood there gnashing his teeth, and just as he was about to say a national curse, "Wow!" A commoner rushed out from nowhere, brought a basin of water, and immediately poured it all on him, "Uh... Bah, bah, bah, who can take it?"
Splash my feet with water, come here, catch that unruly man!"
Cheng Dexuan spat out dirty water and became furious. The common man who was waiting for revenge because his woodshed was demolished threw the pot and fled away, disappearing into the bustling crowd watching the excitement on the Bianhe River.
Already.
"Kill me with anger!" Cheng Dexuan was like a human wolf about to transform on a full moon night. He looked up at the moon and howled. He turned his head and ordered angrily: "Demolish, demolish, continue to demolish! Leave no tiles behind!"
"
On the same night, a large ship quietly sailed into Stone City. Stone City became Nanjing in later generations, today's Jinling, and the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
There were only a few lights hanging on the ship, illuminating a line of vague characters on a large flag: "Zhenhai Jiedu". There were many neatly-armored soldiers standing quietly on both sides of the ship. When the ship arrived at the dock, it docked quietly, and the guards at the dock
After checking the identity of the person coming, he immediately put the gangplank on the boat, and a general with bright armor and a crimson cloak came ashore. He was strong and powerful, with a powerful look and a look of great majesty.
In the darkness of the bow, a pair of bright eyes watched the general's red cloak hunting in the wind disappear into the night like a bat, and murmured: "I hope Lin Huzi's trip can convince Li Yu, then
My plan is sold out!"
Stone City has fallen into a deep sleep at this moment, and the whole city is silent except for a line of carriages and horses galloping towards the palace, and the sound of horse hooves breaks the tranquility of the alley.
In the palace, Emperor Li Yu of the Tang Dynasty had not yet fallen asleep. He stopped attending court affairs, changed into monk's clothes and worshiped the Buddha. After reciting sutras, Li Yu took a shower and changed clothes, changed into a set of loose-fitting Taoist clothes, and was playing chess with the queen in the harem.
His current queen is called the Little Queen of Zhou by people outside the palace, because the queen's sister Zhou Ehuang was originally Li Yu's first wife, the queen. After the death of Emperor Zhou E, Li Yu married her sister Zhou Jiamin.
The marriage between this emperor and the young Empress Zhou was actually quite dissatisfying to the officials and gentlemen of the Tang Dynasty. Because the former Empress Zhou E was dignified and virtuous, she was very popular in the country. However, when the Empress was ill, her younger sister Jiamin came to the palace to visit her.
He had an affair with his brother-in-law Li Yu. For this reason, Li Yu wrote a poem about the two having an affair and making the song "Bodhisattva Man" into a Yuefu.
It was just hidden from the Queen alone.
The queen finally knew the truth. The queen died of illness. However, many people believed that if the emperor had not been so romantic and had fun with her sister during her serious illness, which made the queen depressed, her condition might not have worsened and she would have died suddenly. Therefore,
I am very dissatisfied with Li Yu's acceptance of Xiao Zhou.
The emperors of the Tang Dynasty all married their first wives before becoming emperor. There had never been an emperor who married a queen while he was in power. Therefore, how the emperor accepted his queen was unprecedented in the history of the Tang Dynasty. He could not follow the old etiquette. In order to vent his anger, after discussing the marriage of the queen,
During the ceremony, the ministers in the DPRK started to blame each other on the excuse that they were not familiar with the etiquette of accepting queens.
How could Li Yu's life be separated from singing, dancing, silk and bamboo, and being surrounded by beauties? The queen died of illness, and he had lived a deserted palace life for three years following the ancient rituals. Seeing the ministers shirking their duties, and the date of getting married being far away, he could no longer care about pretending.
Feeling more reserved, he personally stepped in to ask questions and anxiously set an auspicious date.
Because he chose the wrong time, the wild geese had already flown south, so Li Yu simply used white geese to replace the wild geese. As for the ritual music, he even used the inappropriate bells and drums, and couldn't wait to welcome the little ones when the winter snow started to fall.
Entering the palace after Zhou Dynasty.
On the night of the emperor's wedding, important ministers Han Xizai and Xu Xuan gathered friends for a banquet and wrote poems to ridicule him in public. Among them were harsh and harsh lines such as "Spring is unknown in the world, let's enter the Jiuchong City tonight", but he didn't care. But he
He is really obsessed with the little queen Zhou. They have been married for more than two years. Among the concubines, he has always loved the little queen the most. They worshiped Buddha together, played chess together, and he also helped the queen develop dyes.
The color of the clothes and the powder on the face are really lovely.
At this time, Li Yu was playing chess with Xiao Zhouhou in the "Jindongtian" in the harem. Li Yu and Xiao Zhouhou were both romantic factors. In spring, flowers were blooming. The couple decorated the roof beams, window sills, walls, steps, etc. of the palace.
Flowers were placed everywhere, even the palace maids wore flowers on their temples, and many beautifully decorated small pavilions were built among the flowers, surrounded by thin and translucent red silk. The inside was very narrow, and could only accommodate two people.
, as soon as the interest arose, they would hide in this two-person world to drink, recite poetry, and play chess against each other. Their love became entangled, and they did not avoid the palace people.
Zhenhai Jiedu envoy Lin Renzhao came to the palace at night after a busy night. Hearing that the emperor had not rested yet, he couldn't help being overjoyed and said quickly: "Please tell me, please inform the officials. Lin Renzhao has urgent matters and needs to be seen. Please see the officials immediately."
Everyone in the inner court knew that Lin Renzhao had a lot of troops and was the number one general in the Tang Dynasty. He must have something important to do when he came late at night, so he didn't dare to neglect it. He immediately went into the harem to see Li Yu. When he arrived at a small pavilion, he saw only a thin layer of silk.
Luo formed a small tent, with lights in the tent, and the silhouettes of two figures could be clearly seen.
There was a slender and graceful hazy shadow behind Siluo. He didn't dare to look at it. He lowered his head and said: "Guan family, General Lin Renzhao of Zhenhai Jiedu has something to ask for."
A sweet laugh came from the Silk Brocade Tent, as sweet as an oriole: "Guan Jia, with this move, you have no choice but to go, right?"
Li Yu's chess board was trapped by the Queen of Zhou, and he was thinking hard about how to get out of the siege. After listening to the report from the inner court, he responded casually: "Lin Renzhao is here? He doesn't stay in his place well, so he comes to the capital so late to do it.
What?"
Everyone in the inner court laughed and said, "I don't know, I don't know. General Lin is so busy with his travels. It seems that there is something very important that I don't dare to ask about."
Li Yu chuckled and said, "What's the big deal?" He waved his hand, and everyone in the inner court knew that they didn't dare to say anything more. After thinking hard for a long time, Li Yu's eyes lit up, he picked up a chess piece and put it down, haha.
He laughed and said: "Queen, doesn't this solve the problem?"
Lin Renzhao, dressed in military uniform, walked hurriedly back and forth in a side hall, causing the five red candles in the shape of plum blossoms on the silver candlesticks to swing back and forth with his figure. From time to time, he would rush to the entrance of the hall and look up at the harem.
, was so anxious that he rubbed his hands repeatedly and returned to pacing.
Time passed little by little, the candles were filled with tears, and the candles had been burned more than half, but the servants had not returned yet. Lin Renzhao raised his eyebrows and became angry, thinking to himself: "These eunuchs are inferior to pigs and dogs, they are greedy and greedy.
I don’t know how powerful it is, could it be that he deliberately delayed me because he didn’t allow him any benefits?”
Lin Renzhao was brave and good at fighting. He was the number one military general in the Southern Tang Dynasty. He was known as the "Tiger Son" and was respectfully called "Tiger Commander" in the army. He had a strong temperament and had been criticized like this for many times. But this was the palace after all, so even though he was angry
, I can only endure it, I can only stop from time to time, look up to the sky and sigh...
The game of chess was finally over. Li Yu defeated his beloved wife and laughed loudly. The inner court who had been waiting outside for a long time breathed a sigh of relief and quickly called out: "Guanjia."
"Hahaha, the queen's chess skills have improved so fast. It will be very difficult to beat you half a piece now. Hmm? What's the matter?"
"Officials, General Lin Renzhao of Zhenhai Jiedu has something to ask for. How long have you been waiting?"
"Oh!" Li Yu then remembered, slapped his forehead, and said apologetically to Queen Zhou: "It's late at night, and Lin Huzi is still here to disturb people. It's really a disgrace. Queen, please go back to the palace to rest. I'll come as soon as I can.
.”
In the side hall, Lin Renzhao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. The chamberlain came over in a hurry and said happily: "General Lin has been waiting for a long time. I will see you in Chengxintang."
"Humph!" Lin Renzhao's face was ashen, and he walked away with a flick of his sleeves, leaving the incomprehensible servant there.
In the Chengxin Hall, Li Yuping stepped back and listened to Lin Renzhao's secret performance. When he heard Lin Renzhao's shocking plan, Li Yu, who was squeezing his eyebrows and closing his eyes to rest, was shocked. He stood up and said in a voiceless voice: "How can this be so? This
Aren’t you setting yourself on fire?”
Li Yulong's forehead has parallel teeth and double pupils in his right eye. According to physiognomy, he is the image of a born saint. The forehead is actually a broad forehead, and the parallel teeth are relatively neat buck teeth. According to later medical explanations, his pupils are due to adhesions and distortion.
, commonly known as the pair of eyes. However, in ancient books, it is believed that this is a natural vision, which is extremely precious.
Although Li Yu was born with a strange appearance, these details cannot be seen without careful observation. He is only thirty-four years old now, with a plump body and a dignified appearance. He is wearing a Taoist uniform and shows his grace. But at this time
He was shocked, his mustache was raised, and his beautiful beard was awe-inspiring. He was really frightened by Lin Renzhao.
Lin Renzhao proposed an astonishing plan to him: the Song army in the north of the Yangtze River was now attacking the Southern Han Dynasty. After destroying Nanjing, Hou Shu and other countries, the Song Dynasty was exhausted and lacked food and grass. Now it mobilized a large army to attack the Southern Han Dynasty over a long distance.
, this is the great opportunity for the Tang Dynasty. Lin Renzhao requested an order to lead troops to attack the Song and Song Dynasties, regain the lost territory, and reverse the situation. How could Li Yu not be surprised?
Lin Renzhao explained: "In the officialdom, opportunities must not be missed. If they are lost, they will never come back. This is a rare good opportunity. If we can regain the lost territory in one fell swoop, we don't have to rely on the river as our only support. If we can successfully conduct the Northern Expedition and take Bianliang directly, the entire
The world is at your fingertips. Even if it fails, the Song army who is far away from the Southern Han Dynasty will be frightened and return to the reinforcements after hearing the news. They will rush back and forth and be exhausted. We can contact the Southern Han Dynasty and let them chase and kill, while I will set up an ambush. The Song Dynasty will be greatly damaged. We, the Tang Dynasty
The danger can be resolved."
"It's impossible, it's impossible," Li Yu waved his hands and shook his head: "If the Song Dynasty people don't come to invade the south, do we want to give others a clue and take the initiative to attack? Such an unwise move is definitely not feasible."
"Guan family!" Lin Renzhao became anxious and immediately knelt down: "Guan family, Zhao Kuangyin is very ambitious. It's not that he didn't conquer the Tang Dynasty, but he is just unable to do what he can. Once he destroys the Southern Han Dynasty and frees up his hands, the next one will be We are in the Tang Dynasty. If the officials are worried about the revenge of the Song Dynasty, I am willing to bear the responsibility. I only ask the officials to allow me to order the tiger talisman and arrows, and let me lead the troops to go out to provide military supplies and food. If it succeeds, it goes without saying. If it fails, please ask the officials For the crime of treason, all I have to do is kill my whole family and apologize to Zhao Kuangyin. In this way, we can protect our country, Tang Dynasty."
"That's unreasonable. It's impossible to do this!" Li Yu said with a face: "Go, go back to your camp, be at peace, and don't cause trouble for me, otherwise, I will never give you mercy."
After Li Yu said this, he lifted his legs and left. Lin Renzhao grabbed his sleeves, walked two steps on his knees, and said with tears in his eyes: "Guan, God has given us a good opportunity, and it is related to the national destiny of our Tang Dynasty. Please think twice."
Li Yu said angrily: "I have thought twice a long time ago. If the people of Song Dynasty dare to attack our Tang Dynasty, I will go to the river in person, armed with armor and sharp swords, and lead our Tang Dynasty's fierce warriors. I will never teach them to come back. But the Song Dynasty has not come with me. The Tang Dynasty was at war with each other, but he took the opportunity to raise troops and cause trouble for himself for no reason. Is this what a wise man would do? Stop talking about it, I don’t want to hear it!"
Li Yu struggled to pull back his sleeves and brushed them away. Lin Renzhao stood up slowly, looked up to the sky and sighed...
Li Yu was very angry. He really didn't want to provoke the big tiger in Bianliang City. It was really stupid for Lin Renzhao to come up with such a stupid plan. He walked in a hurry. The servants all knew what Lin Renzhao had done to make the emperor angry, so he He didn't dare to say anything, but just followed him step by step.
Li Yu walked for a moment, and suddenly his face changed. He raised his face and looked at the bright moon in the world, stroking his beard and thinking for a moment, and said: "Declared a decree to order the prince to live in Zhongyu... Well, it can't be done. He is still young and cannot take on the heavy responsibility. Ringgit Wang Congqian was appointed as the Supervisor of the Zhenhai Navy and immediately rushed to Zhenhai to monitor the three armies without making any mistakes."
"According to the order!" The chamberlain glanced at him in fear and turned around quickly.
Li Yu had two sons. The second son died young when he was four years old. The eldest son Li Zhongyu is now fourteen years old. Although Li Yu intends to train him, the duty of supervising the army is a heavy responsibility. He dare not hand it over to his underage son. After careful consideration, He still chose his ninth brother Ji Wang Li Congqian.
Lin Renzhao returned to the dock overnight and saw that his big ship was like a beast lying on the ground, rising and falling with the waves. It seemed that it was always waiting for his orders, baring its teeth and claws to choose people to eat. He stepped forward with heavy steps. , halfway through the journey, I looked back at the dark and majestic Stone City, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
In the darkness of the bow, those bright eyes felt dim when they saw Lin Renzhao's depressed expression...
At this time, the large painting boats in the Bianhe River had arrived behind "Ruxuefang". The still-excitement-minded people carried lanterns with the words "Ruxuefang" on them and scattered to both sides of the Bianhe River, like a group of people. A group of fireflies spread the name "Ruxuefang" to the entire Tokyo city like a group of fireflies. Tomorrow, tonight's fiery dance, white-clothed chants, and the sword dance of the Bi people like flying immortals from the sky will pass through their mouths, and their The pen was passed down and recited.
Cui Dalang looked at Yang Hao with a smile and asked: "Today is a great success, how will you treat me tomorrow?"
Yang Hao smiled and said: "Tomorrow, you will know tomorrow."
Cui Dalang's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "If you are a little short of money, haha, how about I join the gang?"
Yang Hao laughed and said: "What happened today is all thanks to Dalang. Even if there is no shortage of money, I am willing to get you to join the team. If you have money... everyone can make it."
Cui Dalang also laughed and said: "Let's all be happy together!"
