Compared with the precarious Weicheng, Chang'an is completely different.
The south wind is picking up and the ice and snow are melting.
The Cold Food Festival has just passed a few days ago. Well, this was only practiced in the Jin Dynasty at that time. It was banned for a while during the Wei and Jin Dynasties. Nowadays, there are more and more Jin people in Chang'an.
Many families from Jin will worship their ancestors on the Cold Food Festival. It is estimated that this custom will be adopted in Chang'an soon. After all, the emperor was born in Jin, and the country is named Tang.
However, Chang'an has had the custom of outing since ancient times. Usually in early March, people in Chang'an would take the elderly and children out of the city to play, and the emperor would also choose this time to go on a spring hunt.
Especially among the nobles of Kansai, martial arts are a common practice, and spring hunting is the best occasion for young people from various sects to demonstrate their martial arts. Brave warriors are often appreciated by the royal family or high-ranking officials in the court, and many of them enter official careers.
Moreover, those unmarried aristocratic girls will also appear at this time. If they like a boy from a certain family, or are attracted by someone, it is not impossible for them to have an affair on the spot.
So this is also a good day for aristocratic marriages. The whole year begins with spring, which is how the so-called spring spirit comes about.
It's just that in troubled times, no one has this leisure.
When Li Yuan came to the throne, he actually held a spring hunt to express the coming of peace. Unfortunately, as soon as Li Yuan completed the spring hunt, his son lost his old nest in Jinyang.
The anxious Li Yuan and his ministers no longer had the same interest.
It was not until this year that the call for spring hunting reappeared. After all, Xiao Xian was pacified last year, and Chang'an gradually became prosperous. Unfortunately, the war to destroy Dou Jiande was about to begin. Li Po would never do anything for spring hunting at this time.
tricks.
However, ordinary people did not care about so many things and felt that their lives were relatively stable and needed some entertainment activities to spice up their lives. Therefore, in the days of early March, the suburbs of Chang'an gradually became lively.
At this time, Li Po was staying in the palace obediently, and military reports from the front kept coming back, leaving him no time to distract himself.
But he was in a good mood, mainly because Queen Li Bi was pregnant again, which was good news for him and his ministers.
Li Bi actually felt a little unwell during the Lantern Festival, but she was in good health and her food tasted delicious, so she didn't take it seriously at all. It wasn't until more than a month later that she realized something was wrong. Do you think she was careless or not?
On the morning of the fourth day of March, Li Po got the news. Although he neglected to discipline his children and was very careless, this was undoubtedly good news for him.
The news spread to the outer court within a few days, and all the ministers came forward to congratulate the royal family on the new child. Li Po heard a lot of flattery and became even more happy.
In fact, he also felt strange. He was obviously strong, not to mention playing songs every night, and actually worked hard, but he only had two children these years, but he was not as fertile as Li Yuan and his son. Don't you think it's irritating?
The last time Li Bi was pregnant with Li Yuan, he was competing with Li Shimin in Jiangjun. This time, he didn't have to go out to lead the army, but he was also preparing to start a fight with Dou Jiande. Well, Li Bi really knows how to find time.
And when it came to the mouths of the ministers, it became an extremely good omen. Most of them also expressed the hope that the emperor would work harder. After all, only when the royal family is well can other families prosper. Huh, what logic?
It happened that the day of the draft had arrived, and Li Bi was raising her baby peacefully in the Qingning Palace. She didn't want those young ladies in their prime to get into a bad mood.
So Wang Zhaoyi was given full responsibility for the draft. Originally, the imperial concubine or the third lady should have hosted it, but there was no way. None of the three ladies were reliable. Concubine Wang Shu and Concubine Gao De were too young to control the scene. On that day, Ashi
If Xiang goes, maybe the draft can be turned into a gladiatorial arena.
Not to mention Imperial Concubine Ashina, she might turn the draft into a military conscription.
None of them can be used, which also shows in disguise that Li Po's harem structure is very stable, the queen is the only one, and there is no possibility of falling out of favor.
Wang Zhaoyi was Wang Qi. When he was in the palace of the Han Dynasty, he was the royal family of the Han Dynasty. It was not until Li Po conquered Chang'an that Wang Qi truly gained his status and was named Zhaoyi in the harem, the head of the nine concubines.
Assisting the queen, the concubines were in charge of all affairs in the harem. Because they were old members of the Han palace, they had greater authority. Like Wang Zhen, Gao Baoer had to call her sister when he saw her.
It would be appropriate for her to host the draft, but the gold content is not that high.
Although Li Po also wanted to see the scene of the draft, he still restrained his impulse because national affairs were the most important thing.
"Your Majesty, Grand Governor Li Jing is reporting urgently."
The newly promoted servant Yu Wenshiji came in hurriedly, saluted, and said with a happy face.
Looking at his appearance, before the eunuch could bring up Li Jing's memorial, Li Po said, "But is there any news from Du Fuwei?"
Yu Wenshiji nodded heavily, "Supreme wise man, Du Fuwei has surrendered."
Li Po couldn't help it anymore, he burst out laughing, patted the table and said, "Why didn't he send another adopted son over, but let Li Jing's people go ahead?"
Yu Wenshiji replied: "The Supreme Being is unaware of something. According to Governor Li's report, Du Fuwei came in person to ask for surrender. He also took his family members by boat up the Shuo River to Jiangling. The Governor led people to greet him.
He is in Xiakou, planning to keep him in Jiangling for a few days and then come to Chang'an via Wuguan."
Damn it, this kind of operation is still possible? Is this guy crazy?
Since the war in the late Jin Dynasty, there have been many strange monarchs and princes. The closest one is Gao Wei, the last emperor of the Northern Qi Dynasty. He is so fatuous and lustful that it is unimaginable.
There is also Chen Shubao, the empress of Chen, who has a rivalry with Liu Chan. He lived a very happy life in Chang'an. From time to time he would give advice to the emperor. He looked like he was a close friend of the emperor, and he also competed with the princes. Don't you think it's strange?
Yang Guang was particularly annoyed with him, so after Chen Shubao died, he gave him a posthumous title of Yang.
And Yang Guang himself was a representative figure. In just a dozen years, he brought a powerful emerging empire to its grave, and he was also hanged in the Jiangdu Palace.
When it comes to stupidity, since ancient times, and even in later generations, there is basically no one who can surpass him. Even Hu Hai, the second emperor of Qin who is very similar to him, is probably ashamed to compare with him.
But like Du Fuwei, as a local prince, with a large number of people under his rule and the generals being submissive, but he simply surrendered with his whole family, he could still occupy a place among them.
Now even if you break Li Po's head, he still can't understand what this guy is thinking. Is the letter written by Cen Wenwen to persuade people to surrender so touching? Still, he thinks Chang'an is a good place to live, so he simply moved to Chang'an.
?
Previously, Du Fuwei sent his adopted son Wang Xiongdan to deliver a message, which was very strange. What kind of trouble is going on now? Whoever lives in Luoyang will be king? Are you serious?
Li Po was really surprised, so he blurted out and asked, "Why?"
Ah? Yu Wenhuaji was stunned for a moment, and said to himself that if I knew why... I would not be a servant, but would have gone to the mountains to seek immortality.
"Perhaps...the Supreme Prestige has spread far and wide, making people admire him, so..."
Well, he can't make it up anymore.
Li Po also had goosebumps all over his body and wanted to go up and punch him. Your damn pretty face is what people admire.
The good news came so suddenly that Li Po lost his composure and tried hard to control his excitement. He began to look through Li Jing's memorial and asked casually: "Does anyone else know about this? Let them stop talking nonsense first. If there is anything,
It’s something strange, but it’s a big joke.”
The possibility of making a joke is unlikely, but it does not rule out that there are other reasons for Du Fuwei to leave, such as being kicked out by his subordinates, or being tired of living...
At this point, Yu Wenshi admired the emperor's calmness and said, "Dudu Li came to Zhongshu first with a report, and Xiao Zhongshu personally ordered people to pass it on to his disciples. Only I and Xiao Zhongshu know about this."
Li Po didn't even raise his head and said: "Then you go to Zhongshu to discuss with Xiao Shiwen and order Luo Shixin, the governor of the bodyguard, Wang Ze, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Gao Biaoren, the minister of Honglu Temple, to lead people to the direction of Wuguan to greet them.
, we must bring the person to Chang'an as soon as possible."
Yu Wenshi agreed and left in a hurry.
Silence returned to the palace, but the atmosphere seemed completely different from just now. Several people who often accompanied the emperor looked at each other, with inexplicable emotions surging in their chests.
Xiao Mian has been eliminated, Du Fuwei has come to surrender, and Dou Jiande has just sent the imperial seal. Is the world about to be peaceful? The emperor sat there quietly, but in their eyes there seemed to be a halo that they dare not look at.
.
A feeling of witnessing history emerged in their hearts involuntarily...
………………
Li Jing's handwriting is excellent, but he prefers to show off his words. These may be related to his experiences in his early years. In a depressed mood, he could only place his affection on words. He probably wrote a large pile of diaries, but he didn't know he had hidden them.
Where is it?
Maybe he was also quite excited, so Li Jing wrote a lot, but didn't see much of the actual business. He wrote a lot of flattering words, and his father-in-law and teacher lost all face.
Li Po skimmed through a large section of the text before finding the main text. He said to himself that when he was in Mayi, you looked at how you cherished words like gold and kept secrets as secret as words. Now, if you look at it now, I have to blush for you.
Li Jing described the scene when Du Fuwei came to move. There were more than 20 large ships, escorted by more than 2,000 people. Except for the people on board, they were all Du Fuwei's family assets over the years. It was indeed similar to moving.
Du Fuwei was very satisfied with Li Jing's warm hospitality. According to Du Fuwei himself, he only wanted to be an official in the Tang Dynasty, and his subordinates were also asked to be rewarded by the emperor, so as to have an explanation.
As for why he came to vote, Li Jing didn't write it down, either because he didn't ask, or because time was short and he didn't rush to ask. It should probably be the former, right? Who the hell knows.
Jiangzuo is a serious and prosperous place, otherwise Yang Guang would not have gone to Jiangdu several times to have a good time. If it can be settled like this, it can be said to be lucky...
Li Po was deep in thought, and after an unknown amount of time, the corners of his mouth turned up, a smile spread across his face like ripples, and he almost laughed out loud.
