Li Po had already forgotten about the few monks who were probably here to ask for alms.
I got up early the next day and summoned Duguhua to have some morning exercises.
When it was time to have breakfast, he summoned his accompanying ministers as well as Pei Ju and other Luoyang ministers to a place, gave general instructions, and then asked everyone to retreat.
The eastward tour to Luoyang was not just for fun. The accompanying ministers had to work in the eastern capital, and they also had to check the accounts of Pei Ju, Liu Jingsheng and others.
In terms of personnel, government affairs, warehousing, and people's livelihood, we must take a look at it. It doesn't matter if there are any shortcomings. I just ask you, why didn't you report it before?
If you can deal with it freely and have good evidence, then forget it. The court may still be able to support you later, but if you are hesitant, then you need to inquire carefully.
The people who come to the Inspector Temple are just here to find faults. It would be best if they can capture a few people and bring them into Dali Temple for questioning. Every one of them counts, and that is all their contribution.
At this time, not only the people in Luoyang were worried, but also the local officials in the east and west provinces of Henan, from the supervisory envoy to the following, also had to worry a lot.
Perhaps the only ones who were happy were a few senior officials in Henan, headed by Pei Ju.
…………
Li Po was different. He was busy with government affairs all day long in Chang'an, and it was extremely rare for him to travel once in a while. It was indeed much easier than when he was in Chang'an.
Leaving the government affairs to his ministers for the time being, he took his concubines and wandered around the Luoyang palace.
He kept Dou Yan, the Ling of Luoyang, and like the Ling of Jinyang, Dou Yan also took care of the Luoyang palace part-time, but he was not as capable as Chu Suiliang. Dou Yan, the Ling of Luoyang, did a good job and reported all the big and small things to Pei Ju.
Or maybe Dou Jing knows it and doesn't have much courage.
It's no wonder that he suffered a complete defeat in the family feud, and his talents and vision were far different from those of his two younger brothers.
After wandering around for half an hour, Li Bi became annoyed. The Luoyang palace was built in a square shape, the core area was really not big, and it was surrounded by high walls. It made people feel extremely depressed, as if they were in a fucking prison.
Li Bi complained to Li Po: "No wonder Yang Guang travels everywhere. Who can live here without being upset?"
Li Po agreed with his wife's statement that the palace city of this famous city was very ugly, and he didn't know what the neighbors were like outside. With Luoshui as a neighbor and Yishui as a beggar, the environment should not be bad...
"It is probably due to a guilty conscience. When he came to the throne, he was the only one left among his brothers. Gao Xi and others were disciples and former officials in Kansai, both inside and outside the court...
After fighting so many people, he must have been so scared that he moved to Luoyang to live. He was not at ease because the palace he built seemed to be on guard against someone.
It's a pity that he didn't use it, but he got an advantage from Wang Shichong and other rats. They stayed here for nearly ten years and tortured Li Mi to death. In the end, he became lonely and widowed.
If Yang Guang knew something secretly, he might be so angry that he would come back to life."
The husband and wife were not very in tune, and what they said was unscrupulous, which sounded very sinister. The husband and wife looked at each other and had a tacit understanding, and they both laughed immediately.
The emperor and the queen laughed, and the concubines surrounding them were all giggling with joy.
Dou Yan was a little dumbfounded. It was unclear whether Yang Guang would survive or not. If this word spread, the Yang family would have to blow up their nest.
He secretly glanced at the nobles around the emperor, thinking that there should be Yang's daughter here, right? But everyone was smiling happily, and no one was sad...
He didn't dare to look too much, and stayed with the emperor, showing Li Po the palaces he passed by, and giving explanations dutifully.
Wang Zhen came over and suggested quietly: "Your Majesty, Madam, why don't we go and take a look at the peony garden? The peonies are about to bloom, and they will all fade in a few days."
Wang Zhen was the princess of Zheng, well, she was actually the princess. Later, she was promoted to princess because she wanted to marry Li Po.
She had been to Miyagi here before, and there was nothing unusual about it. She was still young then, and she is still young now, and her life was really going well, so she didn't have much desire to return to the old place.
Just now, the two of them were enjoying the fragrance with Ash, and Gao Baoer and the three of them secretly figured out that it was boring for the emperor and the empress to be so unhurried. Why not go to see the flowers and get some jars of good wine to cheer them up? Wouldn't that be arrogant?
Of course, it would be best if neither the emperor nor the empress went, and only a few of them went, so there would be no restrictions. That would be good.
Li Po didn't know their little plan. He just arrived in Luoyang and spent the whole day relaxing to relax. He was going to give a banquet to everyone in the evening, and I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to relax after that.
The Xianren Palace built by Yang Guang is really not worthy of praise. It is better to go and see how beautiful the world-famous Luoyang peonies are, so I have no choice but to agree.
At this moment, he had forgotten the debate between the prime ministers at the Chang'an Night Banquet and the high-pitched remarks he made.
Li Bi called two brothers, Li Yuan and Li Zhen, to her side, holding one at a time, and surrounded by a group of people, turned towards the peony garden of Xianren Palace.
As the most famous city flower in Luoyang, the peony has been famous for a long time.
Its origin is unknown. The most accurate theory is that it originated from Heluo during the Han Dynasty and is a serious indigenous flower species in Luoyang.
Although it produces seeds, it grows seedlings on the roots, so it is called a peony. In the words of later generations, it reproduces asexually. Because of the red color of the flowers, it is also named Dan.
Because of its gorgeous flowers and aura of wealth and nobility, it is loved by officials and people.
By the Northern and Southern Dynasties, peonies were not only unique to Heluo. With the promotion of nobles, peonies gradually spread. Whether in the south or north of the Yangtze River, peonies were a must-have in the nurseries of most wealthy families.
There are also many allusions about peonies. For example, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty Liu Xiu once evaded Wang Mang's pursuit among the peonies in Amituo Temple. There is no need to discuss whether they are true or false. This shows that peonies have entered the temple.
Another example is Yang Zihua, a famous scholar in the Northern Qi Dynasty who was good at painting peonies and also made peonies famous.
At that time, there were records saying that there were many traces of peonies among the bamboos along the water, which described the grand splendor of peony planting in the south of the Yangtze River.
…………
There are also peonies in Chang'an, but they pale in comparison to the situation in Luoyang where every household grows peonies. After all, this is the hometown of peonies, and people have extraordinary feelings for it.
Someone even said that if you come to Luoyang and don't appreciate the peonies, you will be like the moon whistling in the daytime, and you will be ridiculed by others.
Early urban marketing was very successful.
…………
There is more than one peony garden in Luoyang Palace, and the one across the city to the east is the most professional.
Yang Xu explained to Li Po that when Mrs. Cheng Guo came here last year, she stopped here and saw that her grandson's former residence was in a state of desolation with branches and leaves falling, so he asked Pei Ju to send someone to sort it out and replant it.
Some vegetation.
Xiao's grandson was Yang You. Xiao's eldest son Yang Zhao died in Daye two years ago, so Yang Guang asked Yang You to live in the east part of the city all year round. His intention was very clear, and he wanted to make Yang You the prince.
When Yang Guang went south to Jiangdu, he took away his other children and grandchildren, leaving only Yang You to guard Luoyang, which actually meant supervising the country.
Yang Xu kept explaining the affairs of the previous dynasty to the emperor and empress. Li Po listened casually, not showing much interest in it. Yang Jian had already lost his heir.
Except for Yang Guang, who was often stepped on by him, he rarely mentioned others. Instead, he often praised Emperor Wen Yang Jian. The courtiers were already very familiar with the emperor's routines, but Dou Yan was a young official, but he didn't know it.
, said vigorously and very annoyingly.
…………
After all, I came a little late. The blooming season of peonies has passed, and many of them have withered. Only some that bloomed late are left. I just want to try to save the waning spring in the north.
Of course, peonies are not the only ones in the flower garden. They will bloom one after another throughout the year. Even in winter, there are also wintersweet, longevity, fairy fingers, etc.
As for the lady from Kansai...it's hard to describe in a word, flower viewing and other things are secondary, just everyone gathering together to chat and have fun.
If you want them to do elegant things and quietly immerse themselves in their own spiritual world, it will be difficult for them.
You go chase the butterflies, and I'll swat the bees to death. They are all very lively and full of joy. It would be inappropriate for you to act gentle and quiet.
Every emperor has his own concubines. The atmosphere is not formed in a day. The atmosphere in the Tang Palace is relaxed and everyone is full of energy.
There are many concubines who are good at wielding swords and guns, so the dignified ones can't keep up the air and can only "join in the same trend" with others.
Li Po was really walking around looking at the flowers. No matter how gorgeous the peonies were, they couldn't stop him. After walking around for a while, he found a pavilion and sat down.
Immediately some palace servants set up utensils and started making tea.
The weather is good today, the sky is clear and there is no wind. Within the high wall, even if there is wind, it cannot blow in.
…………
"When we came here, there seemed to be a monk blocking the way?"
Li Bi took a few sips of tea soup and thought of the affairs of several monks. She believed in Buddhism and was quite concerned about this.
Li Po had long forgotten those monks, but only remembered after hearing what his wife said, "Well, it is said that they are some monks from Baima Temple. When they see me, they may want to teach the Dharma or ask for the temple property to be returned."
Having said this, he turned to Dou Yan and asked, "You are the order of Luoyang, so you should know that, right? Tell me what happened to those monks?"
Dou Yan nodded and said: "Your Majesty is probably talking about Monk Huizhen and others. They came from the south of the Yangtze River and met Mr. Pei in Luoyang. I don't know the details. I only heard people say that they were near Chengshangmen.
I stayed at the White Horse Temple.
Now Xu Shi thought that the world was at peace, so he wanted to return to the White Horse Temple to sit on the altar and teach the Dharma, but he didn't get permission from Minister Pei... This was also a few months ago, and I didn't expect that they had not left Luoyang yet."
While he was talking, he was thinking about it. Several monks were waiting on the road to meet him. Didn't they want to sue Pei Hongda? And if they could wait there at the right time, there must be someone to guide them. I couldn't interfere blindly.
Li Po turned around and smiled at his wife: "Look at what I'm saying. They dare to come to see me just to get some temple property. Do they really think that they have jumped out of the Three Realms and are not in the Five Elements?"
