Chapter 444: Go to the Hot Spring Palace

Li Siye considered himself a conscious bug and must not get involved in the struggle between the princelings and Li Linfu's gang members, otherwise he would die without knowing how.

The history he is familiar with is like the vast starry sky, countless characters are like stars passing by, and there are many unbreakable truths. One of them is to be healthy and live long enough. People who can do this do not need to be proficient in calculations or as witty as a demon, they just need to find a corner

Shrink your head. Then you will find that those arrogant and invincible people are dead.

No matter how powerful your potential enemy was during his lifetime, how many great connections he had, and how many loyal subordinates he had. As long as he goes west, his governing philosophy and his powerful power will also disappear. Even if he dies,

The body would be dug out of the coffin and whipped to vent their anger.

Having completely devoted himself to this era, he feels at every moment that he must live fully before he can gather strength and become a towering tree.

So following Yang Yuyao to the Hot Spring Palace is the best choice.

But before that, he decided to go to the county jail's death row cage to see Zhang Xiaojing. Others were preparing to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival, but he was in jail waiting for his death. It was really too scary. By the way, give him some confidence and tell him

He himself is in contact with the saint's sister-in-law, hoping to rescue him completely.

The last time he came here, he forgot to buy wine and meat. This time, Li Siye went to buy a pound of contraband beef and a pound of Pingkangbo singer's favorite sake.

He came to the gate of Wannian County and handed the money to the man on duty.

"I want to see Zhang Xiaojing, a prisoner on death row. Please be accommodating."

The man nodded and collected the money.

When he reached the gate of the county jail, the officer informed him that Zhang Xiaojing had been promoted and transferred away.

"Who promoted him?"

"Jing'an Division."

This is a department that has never appeared before. No, he seemed to have heard it from someone, Li Mi? Why did he promote Zhang Xiaojing to go out?

Without thinking too much, Li Siye led his horse out of the county house and headed to the Yang family in Xinghuafang.

The flow of people on the street has increased, and floats selected from various states are performing and marching on various side streets. These floats are very large, occupying almost half of the street, and women in costumes are singing on the floats. On both sides of the floats, there are even

The whole orchestra was sitting, the tinkling sounds of pipa, guqin, and harp were mixed together, accompanied by the graceful dance steps and melodious singing voice of the woman, and it smelled like a magnificent and majestic rushing river.

The Sogdians wearing masks walked together and danced a few steps to the music. A few big diners led white camels and forgot to walk while looking at the floats.

"Borrowed it, borrowed it." Li Siye led his horse and squeezed past them, but there was a Turkic hawker carrying a lantern standing in front of him. The hawker looked around cautiously, fearing that the crowd would crush his paper gadget.

.

Women with thick lead powder on their faces are crowded together, raising their long swan-like necks to look up at the singers on the float. At this time, men will find that their necks and faces are completely different colors.

It's not too much to say that it's like applying a layer of white frost on donkey dung eggs.

"A woman who is naked is truly beautiful."

He muttered something like this before turning into the gate of Xinghuafang and walking towards the alley of Yang's house.

As expected, Yang Yuyao was not ready yet. There was only a purple-maned BMW that had been prepared at the door. The red-lipped eunuch leading the horse was standing on tiptoes and combing the smooth mane with his fingers. The horse's bridle was inlaid with gold and jade, and even the saddle's leather cover

It was also made of rhinoceros skin from Dashi. Women suddenly became rich after becoming the emperor's concubines, and the aura of the nouveau riche could not be concealed. Even though they were from the Hongnong Yang family, their tastes were different from those of others.

Their ancestors are far different from each other.

An Lushan arrived unexpectedly late. He was riding on a fat horse, wearing a cross-collared robe, with six pigtails on the back of his head. He had small green bean-like eyes on his fat face, and when he rolled up his eyelids he looked down.

But as cold as a crocodile.

He was obviously surprised when he saw Li Siye. He might not have expected that the Yang sisters would call him too. He seemed a little dissatisfied.

However, An Lushan's tone changed when he spoke: "Haha, Ambassador Li Zhen, I specifically asked my aunt and others to call you a few days ago, mainly because you have a special appetite for me, and today you did not break the appointment.

"

Due to his current enthusiasm, Li Siye felt that these words should be listened to in reverse. Translated into An Lushan's inner words, I was worried that they would call you a follower, but you did show up today. I feel sick when I see you.

Li Siye also crossed his hands and smiled politely: "Wherever An Zhongcheng appears, Li Siye will naturally follow closely. Maybe Li Siye will not be able to survive in Qixi in the future, and Jie Shi will have to go to Fanyang to rely on Zhongcheng's breath.

"

An Lushan laughed politely, and the two stopped talking. There was naturally a gap between them.

Li Siye suddenly realized that it was An Lushan who suggested that the Yang sisters go to the Hot Spring Palace. Naturally, this fat man from Yingzhou was not as bored as the Yang sisters who were accustomed to the splendor of Chang'an, so why was he unwilling to stay?

In Chang'an, you are trying to flatter the saint, but you have to go to Lishan Mountain, which is thirty miles away?

His move was exactly the same as Huangfu Weiming's move when he sent him a letter asking him to leave Chang'an. Is there any inevitable connection between them, or is it just a coincidence?

Yang Yuyao arrived late, and her two sisters came over on white horses and Tuxue Wuzui respectively. After a few cordial conversations, they started to head towards Mingdemen.

There are many servants in the Yang family, each riding a horse and carrying some daily necessities, tea sets, sheep felts, mattresses, sun-shading oil paper umbrellas, covering a distance of more than 30 miles, making it seem like a long journey. Only Anlushan and

Li Siye traveled lightly and without any followers around him. The men had a tacit understanding in this regard.

After leaving Chang'an City, we headed along the hard loess road to Lishan Mountain in Xinfeng County. There were some dense forests of dry tree branches on the surrounding hillsides. They looked very sparse, like half-shedding hair on animals. The dry loess occupied a large area.

scenery.

It may be due to excessive cutting of trees, serious soil erosion, or even more likely to be trampled by wars since the Qin and Han Dynasties. The eight hundred miles of Qinchuan are no longer as fertile as they used to be, and the land yield in the Guanzhong Plain is not even enough to supply the lives of Guanzhong and even Chang'an City.

Due to the needs, especially the severe drought in Guanzhong, the emperors were forced to go to Luoyang, the eastern capital, to stay permanently, and they were called the emperors who pursued food by later generations.

In fact, the output near Luoyang is not enough to supply a city with a population of one million. If it were not for the Grand Canal that runs from north to south, which continuously transports grain from Jiangnan and other places to the capital, the prosperity of the Eastern and Western capitals of the Tang Empire would be nothing more than a bubble.

The Hot Spring Palace is surrounded by the trees of Lishan Mountain. From a distance, the entire mountain is covered with buildings of all sizes. Almost all the dignitaries in Chang'an City have built villas around Lishan Mountain, like stars over the moon.

Surrounded by the Hot Spring Palace.

Xuanzong would leave Chang'an Linxing Hot Spring Palace in October every year, and would not return to Chang'an until the end of the year. Many agencies of the imperial court had official residences here, and there was no delay in handling government affairs.

The Yang sisters' villa is next to the Hot Spring Palace. It was already afternoon when they arrived at the top of the mountain. The courtyard covers an area of ​​several acres, with two pavilions next to the main residence. There are two small courtyards on the left and right of the main courtyard, and the servants are busy

After packing and moving, Li Siye and An Lushan had nothing to do, so they stood on the mountain and looked down.

Li Siye was curious and wanted to know the thoughts of this rebel, but unfortunately this guy was very evil-minded and most of what he said was half-truths and half-falsehoods.

"Under the emperor's feet, the imperial capital is prosperous, but the arable land is getting less and less, and it seems too barren."

"It is indeed barren, but it is much better than Yingzhou. The winter in Yingzhou is so cold that you can't even dig up the soil. Last year, a certain relative led his soldiers to cultivate another 600 hectares of fertile land. These newly cultivated fields are actually fertile.

, you can get oil out of it if you grab a handful, which is especially suitable for growing wheat.”

"Really, An Zhongcheng, I want to ask you, why are we fighting again and again in the far frontier?"

(PS: Thank you for the miracle of Ai Li, I will reward you through the wind and rain in the evening.)
