The wooden plank road built along the lake of the palace is ten feet wide, showing the extraordinary magnanimity of the royal family... Willows hang green on the ground, and poplar flowers are flying in the sky. When all the wicker branches are broken and the flowers fly away, I would like to ask the passers-by if they are returning home? Emperor Yang of the previous dynasty really liked willows, and of course he preferred beauties. He took 500 folk girls from Wu and Yue who were fifteen or sixteen years old, and called them palace foot girls. Ten women and ten young sheep were ordered to lead the women and the sheep alternately... At that time, boats and boats followed each other, connecting for thousands of miles, from Daliang to Huaikou, in an endless stream. Wherever the brocade sails pass, the fragrance can be smelled for hundreds of miles.
"Brother, is it true that the incident between the palace servant and the flower girl is true?" Li Yuanying approached Li Yuanli, lightly bumped his arm with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice.
Yuan Baoer, a charioteer girl from Chang'an, was fifteen years old. She had a slender waist and a handsome and naive appearance. She was favored by the emperor and was extremely generous. At that time, Luoyang entered Hedi to welcome chariot flowers. In the Songshan dock in Yunde, the people were unknown, and the people who picked them were different and paid tribute to them. The Emperor Hui arrived at the right time, so he was named after the chariot. The outside of the flower is purple, the inside is greasy, the core is pink, the heart is deep red, the tarsus competes for two flowers, the branches are green, similar to grass, without thorns. The leaves are round, long and thin, and their fragrance is fragrant and fragrant. It may irritate the sleeves and linger even with the passing of the sun. The smell of it makes people not sleep much. The emperor ordered Bao'er to hold it and call it Si Hua Nu.
Yu Shinan once wrote a poem: I am half-finished in learning to paint crow yellow, and my drooping shoulders and loose sleeves are too silly. Although I am naive, I am cherished by the king. I grow a bunch of flower branches and walk beside the chariot.
As for when the poem was written, I would not ask, let alone know.
"Judging from the news I received after arriving in Xuzhou, it is far more exaggerated than what was recorded in the written records." Li Yuanli slowed down his pace and lowered his voice, speaking at a volume that only the other party could hear. "On the one hand, there is an effect on the other. In order to help their daughters escape, some families not only give money to the selection officials, but also feed those humble officials."
After a pause, he continued: "Five hundred people were selected, but the number of people implicated was over 10,000. I really can't understand. I don't know what made my cousin so obsessed that he acted like this."
Li Yuanying thought of the various taxes that were added layer by layer in the later stages of each dynasty... Just after he figured out the zz game behind jealousy, he felt the same as the math boss in the advertisement for Bai Moushan, the aristocrat in the water: doubting everything.
Maybe, I can try to be a philosopher, a skeptical philosopher... Cynicism or pessimism is partly related to it, but I still give up decisively.
……Bar.
Harris said: Cynicism is not just suffering from the past, cynicism is prematurely losing hope for the future.
Some people also say that cynicism is somewhat similar to Taoism. It was originally positive and negative, but later turned into negative and negative... Hetui, someone even said that the moon is rounder than that of the Tang Dynasty!
"Brother, let's make a little money together!" Li Yuanying saw Xiao Ruoyuan coming with a bamboo basket, the corner of his mouth was slightly raised, and he said in a very seductive tone.
Shancheng (Yuzhou) hot pot, also known as Maodu hot pot or spicy hot pot, originated on the Jialing River in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. No matter which origin is traced, it is an indisputable fact that it originated from the riverside and dock, and gradually developed into Small traders carried burdens and hawked along the streets. Around the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, hairy tripe hot pot began to appear on Yanxi... Compared with the hairy tripe, yellow throat and duck intestines of Shancheng hot pot "Lao San Pian", Jinguancheng hot pot derived hot pot chicken, hot pot fish, fish There are various varieties with different tastes and ways of eating, such as head hot pot, fat rabbit hot pot, beef tendon hot pot, seafood hot pot, etc.
"We can differentiate based on the ingredients and popularize spicy hot pot from restaurants to riverside piers, making it a symbol representing the Tang Dynasty."
"No problem, I will follow your plan." The reserve and wariness in Li Yuanli's smile have dissipated, and his whole state is like the unfolding leaves in spring, fresh, sunny and full of vitality.
Li Yuanying's eyes flashed slightly, and he laughed dumbly and said: "Brother, standing on the opposite side of the literati, your reputation will become as bad as ours. Are you mentally prepared?"
The damage value caused by a pen of ancient literati far exceeded the violence of later generations. In that era of information explosion, it was difficult for news to be posted for a month. If it could remain popular for half a month, it was definitely a hit. Whether it was the 1888w bride price incident or the escort brother's report on his wife, they were quickly overshadowed by new news and lasted only about a week. Rock singer Le Pants has a deep understanding of the matter of being pressured. As long as he wants to make a move, he will be pressured by celebrities from all walks of life as soon as he sends out the news. Even if his wife's surname is Zhang Di, she will not It couldn't save him from being suppressed. The ancient literati wielded their pens like swords, so even a thousand years later, you could be picked out at any time and hit with a lightning five-whip attack.
"The worst case scenario is that I will go demolish the house with you, and they won't dare to beat anyone anyway." Li Yuanli shrugged his shoulders and smiled nonchalantly. "Winter is approaching, and they don't dare to fight with you. It's really cold to bury yourself in the snow."
I once tried it out of curiosity, and I can only say that my younger brother’s idea is wonderful and beyond the reach of others.
Li Yuanying: "..."
Why do you know it's really cold? Have you... tried it? probably not
……Bar?
"My lord, they trapped some strange-looking ones on the shore..." Xiao Ruoyuan hesitated and whispered. "Look at those strange shrimps. I asked the guards in the palace and they said that the fishermen nearby would throw them back into the lake after catching them."
Qiu Ling said it was best to ask Prince Teng before throwing it away. As for the reason, she did not say.
Li Yuanli: "..."
If you take something that even the fishermen refuse to eat and show it to a young brother, have you been kicked in the head by a Guizhou donkey or caught in a crab claw?
... Li Yuanying blinked and took out one to look at... It was shaped like a shrimp, holding a pair of large claws, sharp and powerful, and the dark red carapace shone with an alluring luster: tears were about to fall from the corners of his mouth unsatisfactorily. It's flowing down!
Suppressing his excitement and preventing his hands from trembling, Yun Danfeng said softly: "Tell the chef to wash it and make it spicy. It will take twice as long as the spicy shrimp. Then bring an older fisherman over. I have something to say. ask him."
Xiao Ruoyuan's eyes followed Li Yuanying's movement of throwing shrimps and stopped at the mouth of the bamboo basket... I like spicy shrimps very much, but this little thing looks dirty. Can I eat it? After hesitating for a moment, he sang softly, turned around and left with the bamboo basket in hand.
The experience of these few months has taught me a certain thing. Don’t question what King Teng ordered and just do it. Unexpected things will happen.
… Sometimes it’s a surprise, sometimes it’s a shock.
Li Yuanli did not know Xiao Ruoyuan's knowledge, so he said hesitantly: "Young brother, the fishermen don't even eat it."
The reason for some hesitation is that it is impossible to determine who was the first person to eat the crab, but the person who dares to eat it must be a warrior! Maybe... my younger brother will be the first to eat the strange shrimp?
"Brother, there must be some reason for not eating." Li Yuanying came to the pavilion that looked into the lake, sat on the back of the beauty, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, admiring the reeds blowing in the wind on the water in the lake, and laughed softly. "In the last years of the previous dynasty, wars broke out all over the place. The people were in dire straits and had no food to eat, but they didn't eat this shrimp. Don't you think it's weird?"
How could a person who would even eat tree bark and soil give up the tenacious ancient version of crayfish when he was extremely hungry? Not to mention lung fluke, it is possible to eat raw seafood or river fresh food, but there will be no problem in cooked food. The water quality at this time is excellent, the lobster heads will not absorb any heavy metals, and bacteria and toxins will accumulate in the body... Unless there is a plague, the carcasses of certain animals are thrown into Onozawa.

Li Yuanli: "..."
In the last years of the previous dynasty, successive years of wars resulted in young and middle-aged people either being conscripted into the battlefield or going up the mountains into the woods to work as bandits. More often than not, they were killed by rebel soldiers and bandits. The fields were left uncultivated and unharvested, exacerbating the famine and making the situation more chaotic, and more people died. After the second brother ascended the throne, the population statistics showed that there were only about 2 million households (25 million people) left, which was less than a quarter of the number during the period of Emperor Wen of the previous dynasty (8.9 million households), and even less than when the cousin took the throne in the fifth year ( More than one-half of 60 million people).
No matter how brilliant the second brother is, he does not have enough labor force to develop agricultural production, let alone provide enough high-quality soldiers for the government's military system. In the first year of Zhenguan, a decree was issued to encourage the population to have children. It clearly stipulated that: widowers and widows who are twenty years old for men and fifteen years old for women, or who have passed the mourning period, are allowed to marry. They are allowed to seek each other from the same kind, and they are not allowed to be suppressed. Those who are too poor cannot marry. , can also be funded. They also set their sights on the vast northwest and northern grasslands, because the Turks took advantage of the chaos to plunder and plunder, not only plundering property, but also capturing young men and women as slaves. In order to avoid the war, a large number of people also headed north in groups, gathering in Biwentun to protect themselves from the mountain dangers.
In order to celebrate the accession of his second brother to the throne, the Turkic Jieli Khan offered 3,000 horses and 10,000 sheep, but the second brother immediately refused and only ordered Jieli to return the plundered Chinese residence. They also used gold and silk to redeem the 80,000 men and women who were killed by the Turks in the chaos, and returned them all to their families... Those who returned from outside the fortress and the Turks attached themselves to the front and back, and opened the four barbarians as states and counties, totaling more than 1.2 million men and women. .
Thinking about it this way, it is really weird... I asked quietly: "Is it poisonous?"
Li Yuanying spread his hands and said with a smile: "Goose and hen."
Li Yuanli: "..."

Yunhe Mansion in Furong Garden by Qujiang Pool
Wei Guizang, who had just cracked the news, looked at the sentence "The road in front of him has no latitude and longitude, and the sky in his skin is black and yellow," his eyes were filled with deep doubts: What does Prince Teng want to do? The Book of Jin records: Pei Shao has a simple and noble style, and is as famous as Du Yi in Jingzhao, ranking first in Zhongxing. When Huan Yi of Qiao State saw it, he looked at it and said: "Jiye has spring and autumn in its skin." He said that there was no criticism on the outside, but there was praise and blame on the inside. When he used it on crabs, he also wrote empty black and yellow sentences, which are opposite to the previous ones without latitude and longitude. Do you want to scold all the Confucian scholars who studied the Four Books and Five Classics, or do you want to scold all the literati in the world?
His Majesty has never doubted him at all, why should he be so... His eyes focused on the last sentence: King Xu praised him, what a poem.
Holding the letter with half helplessness and half indifference, Wei Guizang stood up and walked towards the water department. Such an important thing as sending the letter into the palace must of course be done by Crazy Yuan.
"Who told Xiao Shiyi to send the message back?" Yuan Tiangang slapped the bookcase with his palm and said angrily. How long will it take for the turmoil in Linjiangzhimo to subside? Here comes another crab chant... Is Prince Teng afraid that the princes in the court will have too much time? I have watched the battles between civil and military affairs, or between literati and nobles, or between Longxi and Shandong, but I have never seen royal family members and nobles, gentry and intellectuals being enemies at the same time!
Prince Teng, who grew up with the late emperor and His Majesty, it is impossible that he does not know the art of balance... His eyes came to the last sentence: Prince Xu clapped his hands in praise, what a poem. He looked up at the sky and sighed: "The wind is blowing again in Chang'an. Why did you want to leave Lushan?"
That's wrong, that's really wrong! Well, why don't you believe your own predictions? Why did you forget that King Teng was someone’s disaster?
"The construction of Ba Bridge will definitely be delayed without you in charge." Wei Guizang crossed his hands and said with a smile.
Yuan Tiangang stopped looking at the sky, glanced at Wei Guizang, left the Water Department, left Yunhe Mansion, left Qujiang Pond... He took the oil truck to An Shangmen, and after handing the letter to Zhang Anan, he did not hesitate. He turned around and left hesitantly, heading to the Baqiao construction site.
Zhang Anan was stunned for half a cup of tea before he came to his senses, took the letter and walked quickly back to the East Side Hall... Mr. Yuan's behavior can only mean one thing: King Teng has done something big again!
"Where is Mr. Yuan?" Li Shimin asked, raising his eyebrows slightly when he saw only Zhang Ananda coming in.
Wei Zheng silently took two steps to the side, and Yang Shidao took three steps to the right and back. Yu Chigong saw their little movements and frowned... Did they take the wrong medicine?
After being left alone for half a year, Yuchi Gong talked a lot less. Following the footsteps of the two men, he took three steps to the left and back. Fang Qiao and Changsun Wuji were highlighted. If something happened, they would be the first to be slobbered on.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Yuan said he was going to Baqiao to monitor the progress. There are only two poems on the letter." Zhang Anan stepped forward, placed the letter in front of Li Shimin, crossed his hands and saluted, and said respectfully.
I don’t know if this poem is about beauties, or is it a satire on the princes? I am a little bit curious, really just a little bit. The paper used for the remonstrance form has been changed to bamboo paper, and His Majesty did not feel so distressed when throwing it, and the throwing action became more and more thunderous.
Just as Li Shimin was about to open the letter and read it, he saw Wei Zheng out of the corner of his eye... Why did he run to the side? His eyes narrowed slightly, and he tapped the eucalyptus with his fingers instead, and said warmly: "Xuancheng, your voice is clear and elegant. It's up to you to read it to everyone."
You can't be angry every time. Since being happy alone is not as good as being happy when everyone is happy, then naturally being angry alone is not as good as being angry when everyone is angry. Let's appreciate the wonderful articles together.
Wei Zheng's thin face twitched slightly. He took a few steps forward, took the letter and unfolded it... The twitching of his face increased by three levels. He looked at Li Shimin with mixed sorrow and joy, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to Can you read it?"
"Read." Li Shimin said without hesitation. It's rare to see you with a sheep nose like this, so of course I need to spend more time admiring it. If that Zhuzi doesn't do something within five or six days, then you should be worried! Now that I see the sheep's nose like this, I have settled down and can sleep well tonight.
When Wei Zheng finished reading "The Fragrance of Grain and Millet Remaining in the Sky of Yuepu", the air in the east side hall of the Zhengzheng Palace turned from quiet to solemn, so solemn that several powerful men in the early Tang Dynasty felt depressed...
