In spring, everything begins to sprout, which can be a sacrifice for life;
A bowl of plum soup in midsummer, with the clinking sound of broken ice hitting the wall, I am attracted by it;
Mid-Autumn Festival is also the Mid-Autumn Festival, the word "sorrow" is split into two parts, the wind blows and kills;
In the middle of winter, mountains and rivers are frozen for thousands of miles, hiding new life underneath.
Such a road circulates day after day, such a dream is like a dream in the south and a yellow beam in the dream for three or two years.
In the past, the clouds and smoke have changed, and the clouds and clouds are just a flash in the pan.
This was three years ago, at the beginning of the new year, everything was in order.
The winter in Xibo is very special, especially at the end of winter and the beginning of spring. It makes people feel like crying with joy everywhere.
It's extremely cold when the sun is out, so cold that the moisture vapor condenses on your beard in the blink of an eye. As soon as the sun comes out, even half of the face is exposed, it is warm, and it is very comfortable to sit on the roof.
Jingxing, a small town developed from a military town, is modeled after Xuanyangxing, named after the capital. A lane divides more than 20 households from the north to the south.
It's just that the lane is a bit wider, and three or four horse-drawn carriages are driving close together, so visual inspection shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, if this is the case, we cannot really act like this. Four carriages traveling side by side according to etiquette is a unique majesty of the royal family, and ordinary people cannot overstep it. This is a crime belonging to the Yi people.
The alleys are wide and wide, and they dare not go wider than Zhuque Street.
Not only for this "small" alley that is so spacious due to various direct or indirect reasons, but also for the size of the city in the capital, which has to be - naturally and inevitably - smaller than the capital.
That's why we compare it with the Zhuque Avenue in the capital, neither of which can be overstepped.
Different from other cities, even in the capital city, the lanes are named randomly, and the street signs are all hung up with a board as a reminder. For example, this lane is no less than a main road, at the beginning and end of the lane. Each has a stone tablet about half a man high, with small characters on the back introducing several mythical stories about this lane. On the front, there are three big Chinese characters "Xinghua Lane" written in a square shape with beautiful round shapes.
Although it should be as detailed as the back of the stele, to specifically show the source, there must be an inscription or signature on the stele, and even the date is not available, let alone who wrote it.
However, precisely because of this, we can better know who wrote it.
Zhao Mingri and Emperor Wu Jian's dynasty all diplomatic letters were written by him. There was grandeur in the words and murderous intention in the lines. Emperor Wu Jian praised it as "the most important treasure of the country, which transcended the dynasty".
This man lives in the capital city. He is very good at fine calligraphy. He can write very well in large calligraphy, but he has a very weird temperament. He has a great reputation and has never been ostentatious or show off. He has never done anything to make money by writing calligraphy. No matter how many people spend a lot of money to ask for calligraphy and paintings, He ignored such good means of getting rich.
The only reason is that this man's self-esteem as a scholar has troubled him. He just wants to laugh to the sky and go out, and never considers the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
Because of this noble character, he is still alone in his fifties. It is too much to say that he has a poor family, but he is also in poverty and poverty. This person was also an extremely scoundrel and loved to drink. When he had no money, he would borrow money. If he had a lot of credit, he would cheat. He would lie to the shopkeepers and say that he would exchange wine for food, but in the end he would not be able to cash in. Restaurants of all sizes in the entire capital had more or less accounts with him, and some shrewd merchants even tricked him into writing IOUs, but he refused without mercy and scolded the merchants in public for being unkind.
Later, his reputation became so bad that no one would sell it to him, so he became more direct and started stealing instead. It is not considered arrogance due to favor. For him, this is the joy of life - so much so that in the end it is the government that settles large and small bills for him due to his status.
It is said that he only had a bed, a quilt, and a writing brush in his home, and he didn't even have a piece of paper. When he felt like it, he would touch the wall with water and write with a swipe. After writing too much, the earthen wall would peel off after a long time. He lived in Yongpingfang in the capital city, and the elders in the neighborhood would visit his home every once in a while, fearing that this national treasure would either starve to death, freeze to death, or be crushed to death by the collapse of the stained wall.
Except for those calligraphy treasures that are sealed in the palace and no one can see, there are only two paintings of seven characters written by this national treasure that are spread among the people.
One picture is this "Xinghua Lane".
Another picture, "Begging for food with your mouth."
The New Year's Day is celebrated on the 17th day, from New Year's Eve to the 16th, which is a unique custom of the Great Monday. At this time, the whole world celebrates together, demonstrating the infinite majesty and peace of the heavenly kingdom.
Such a prosperous time of singing and dancing is just a celebration shared by the whole Zhou Dynasty. Under this joy, there are also some unforgettable troubles in the small family.
Naturally, it was the imperial edict that broke up the grand banquet of the patron's palace on the mountain the first night: On this happy day, I think about the childhood sweethearts of Sun Yexiao, the patron king's knee, and the fourteenth prince. Why not choose a good day and choose a good time, and the marriage between the two surnames will be clear. Spectrum, forever a good marriage.
The large cinnabar seal is bright, four inches wide and square, and encircled by eight seal characters, "If you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever."
The news had been received in the palace long ago. According to the plan discussed in advance by the three father-in-law and grandson, the so-called drama of resisting the imperial edict and resisting the marriage was enacted.
Obviously he just wanted to take advantage of the situation and avoid the public opinion. After a few days of waiting for this period of silence to pass, the Holy Emperor, who was notoriously unreliable in his words and actions, withdrew his life and disappeared. What a sin of disobedience.
After all, not only the ministers of the court, but also the common people knew very well that Emperor Wen Sheng acted according to his own desires.
The late emperor passed away. After the emperor who had been in the East Palace for thirty years came to the throne, he was inactive for a year and a half. It was his first time to ascend the throne. I dare not say what he would do immediately. At least he must uphold the legacy of his ancestors. Legacy, keep your duty.
After that, what Emperor Wen Sheng did as he pleased could indeed be regarded as...faint emperor, not so much. It can only be said that he was far behind compared to several previous emperors.
After all, several emperors from our ancestors worked hard to govern. When it comes to their civil, political and martial arts, they are all top-notch. After four Ming dynasties, the Great Zhou Dynasty can be called the Celestial Kingdom. It is not just that it has powerful soldiers and vast territory, or that it has strong soldiers and horses and a strong culture. The reason for military success is also because the people are living in peace and prosperity, and the appearance of the prosperous age is clearly visible. Therefore, the emperor who can definitely be regarded as having no worries about food and drink will always have some ideas that are different from ordinary people, so he will always do something that makes people happy. An incomprehensible and jaw-dropping move.
When he first ascended the throne of the crown prince, the later emperor secretly left the palace several times, not just for pleasure, but just for fun.
Without him, wherever he goes, he will be happy.
Later, when he became the king of a country, he became more and more strict and had no taboos.
For example, after more than one year of imitating the sages and striving to govern, Emperor Wen Sheng felt on a whim that he saw the sky full of yellow sand in the Western Regions when he was on patrol, so he ingeniously implemented the policy of planting trees to prevent sand and using troops to support forests. However, he was too eager to achieve success and invested manpower and material resources. Most of the efforts failed to achieve results and were abandoned halfway. They came to an end in just two years, causing complaints from soldiers all over the Western Regions.
In the following years, they also made a masterstroke on the Chunwei system, reinstating the recommendation and inspection system based on the imperial examination system that had been passed down for thousands of years. It required students to go back three generations, or if they had no bad deeds and just jumped to the dragon gate for a poor family, naturally it was nothing. As a result, how many people from really poor families have the money and leisure to study and become literate? Then it came to an end two years later due to the depletion of talent.
Of course, there was also a plank road reform, which was also a sudden idea. Just to eat fresh lychees from Lingnan, they rewarded people with extremely high salaries and encouraged the people along the way from Lingnan to the capital to dig out a straight official road, build roads across mountains and build bridges over water, and once again It took an incredible amount of money, but after a few months, it was realized that it was impractical. There were so many mountains and waterways that it would be difficult to accomplish even if the treasury was empty, so it was hastily terminated.
Naturally, it is not a waste of people and money. Every time Emperor Wen Sheng made a spur-of-the-moment idea, he immediately stopped the loss after discovering its shortcomings. However, every time he was inspired, he was followed by repeated admonitions from high-level officials in the court. If he hadn't returned to the capital, With the four ministers who took care of the affairs left by the late emperor admonishing him day and night, Emperor Wen Sheng might come up with something that would cause headaches for these civil servants and generals.
For example, the harem is a small court in the royal backyard that is no more simplified than the three ministers. Naturally, foreign ministers cannot interfere. The key is that as a monarch of a dynasty, you can't interfere too much. The mother is responsible for the world. The empress and the emperor are separated from each other. This is the inherent system of the imperial city. It's just that Emperor Wen Sheng took some time out of his busy schedule to mess with the harem before the Queen Mother came forward to end it.
When the late emperor passed away, the emperor had already half-stepped the threshold of knowing his destiny. He had stayed under the late emperor's wings for too long. Like a newborn baby, he would always be a little hot-headed when he suddenly gained supreme power. .
Emperor Wen Sheng got excited and built a market in the inner palace, imitating the east and west markets in Beijing, with shops and inns, restaurants, snacks, and brothels. Whenever the court was dismissed or the official affairs at hand were finished, everyone from concubines to palace maids, plus many eunuchs from the Huangmen, pretending to be common people or traders, was very lively. The key was that Emperor Wen Sheng shuttled around and wandered around. When I get up, I will bargain with those "boss", which is really a pleasure.
But after all, it was the inner palace, and face was important. Later, the Queen Mother found out about the matter and came forward to stop it. However, Emperor Wen Sheng listened to the advice and followed the Queen Mother's will, so he let it go.
For this emperor who always does things casually, news came out from the palace that the marriage was granted on a whim after drinking. Those people on Panshan who knew it all had the right to treat it as the same as before. Maybe it will be taken back in a few days.
Therefore, Ye Xie, who had his own plan, staged such a drama with Ye Sangeng on Panshan Mountain and Ye Mulin, and Ye Hongtu, who was kept in the dark, joined in, and openly confronted the old man in the family who always said he was right. The servants who sneaked out to meet the two of them during the day said that they had not seen each other last night and you started to move your hands. The expensive tables, chairs, benches, jade vases and bronze mirrors in the hall were all broken. Broken, a mess.
However, in Ye Xiayou's view, this was considered an unintentional act, which only increased the authenticity of this layout and made outsiders believe it to be true.
Afterwards, the two siblings went down Panshan Mountain in the middle of the night, crossed directly through the capital, and hid in the house in the capital city that was also purchased on the spur of the moment many years ago, waiting for news.
Unlike now, she always wants to join in the fun. The night at that time was quiet and her temperament was so elegant that she sat alone in the small courtyard, reading and writing, making tea and wine, and she was enjoying herself that day. , leaving the midnight watch aside with nothing to do, and became an idler.
It has not yet fallen into the night, and several places in the capital and border areas are already bustling with activity. On the 17th day of the Daqing Festival, lanterns and colorful flowers are everywhere, and the sky is full of red and green flowers.
For such a grand occasion, a famous writer wrote a poem: "Fire trees and silver flowers bloom together, and the iron locks of the star bridge open." The dark dust follows the horse, and the bright moon follows the person.
Some literati even said: We meet everywhere in robes and makeup, and the lights on the Sixth Street are noisy for children.
After all, it is the New Year, and in the prosperous times, there is a new atmosphere.
Compared with the prosperous capital city, the capital is not much lively, but I can't help but hold back the midnight watch all day, so naturally I can't sit still and want to go to the capital city to join in the fun. This is the New Year's Day when the whole country is rejoicing, how can he feel comfortable if he is trapped in the house? Seeing Ye Hao, he ignored himself and went out on his own without even saying hello.
Just before the third watch of the night, before the night completely covered the sky, a woman wearing a goose-yellow gown and a mink fur came to the small courtyard and knocked on the door with her hand raised.
They were going in the opposite direction, and naturally they hadn't gone very far, but in the middle of the night, they saw a horse-drawn carriage kicking towards the street in the distance.
In a capital city that is no longer subject to curfew restrictions, everyone is going to lively places, but this carriage appears in this quiet place, which makes me think twice. After all, if I take a closer look under the dim sky, I can see that the carriage is also there. Can guess the identity of the person.
Ning family, Ning said.
A woman who is regarded as a man in the middle of the night.
