Tang riddles

Chapter 63

Today, the wind in the river is warm, the flowers and willows are fragrant, and the tourists on the road relax, because the green water and green mountains are intoxicating.

Jiangling in spring is as beautiful as a peerless landscape painting.

After leaving Chang'an on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, the time has come to the [-]th day of the second month unconsciously, and the feeling of spring is getting stronger.Walking along the Qingshiban Road in Jiangling Fucheng, along the unknown canals passing through the city, there are lush and tender greenery all the way.The river willows planted beside the embankment probably learned from Chang'an and Luoyang, but they show a flexibility that is completely different from those in the north.That waist embodies the beauty of water that can only be found on both sides of the river.

Shen Sui was riding on the horse, looking softly at the scenery in front of her, as if the whole world became colorful in her heart.Not for anything else, just because the carriage behind her sat the most cherished person in her life.

In the morning, they had a face-to-face meeting. When Shen Sui and Hu Tuo rushed to the gate of the Governor's Mansion to mount their horses, Zhang Ruohan was boarding the carriage.The two looked at each other, she was handsome in white clothes, she was elegant in white dress, they both smiled, their hearts seemed to be rippling like that river of spring water.

They didn't look at each other after that, didn't say a word, just set off on the road.She led the way on horseback, and she sat in the car behind, sometimes raising the curtain to look forward.Whenever this time, she is always in her sight.So she smiled, the curvature of her lips was probably the most beautiful in the world, quiet, sweet, and unassuming.

Poor Wuya who was in the car with Sanniang felt that his heart had been hit by several heavy punches, and wished he could immediately go blind like Qianhe who was driving in front.Amid repeated sighs and sighs, Wu Ya straightened Zhang Ruohan's skirt, lit Sanniang's hand stove, warmed tea, set up snacks, and finally served Zhang Ruohan properly, then escaped out of the carriage and sat down. Beside Qianzuru who was holding the bridle, he accidentally hit Qianzuru's shoulder with his elbow.

Qianhe: "Why are you so frizzy?" She was still as calm as before, and there seemed to be some strange dullness in her calmness.

"Sanniang doesn't give people a way to live. I'll guide you to drive, lest you drive the car into the river." Wu Ya propped his chin, looking a little annoyed, but his tone clearly revealed yearning and admiration, as well as confusion.

"I won't drive the car into the river, because even if I can't see, the horse can still see. And horses like to follow the herd, so it will naturally follow the same kind in front." Qianhe explained solemnly.

"Even you want to argue with me!" Wu Ya pouted in dissatisfaction.

Qianhe didn't answer, she felt that it was better for her to shut up, Wuya at this time was very unreasonable.

The carriage moved forward in silence for a while, and the south gate of Jiangling City was in sight.Today's trip, the destination is Zhanghuatai, which is located in the southeast corner of Jiangling City, where there is a dense peach forest and the beautiful Zhangtaiyuan. Shen Sui wants to take Zhang Ruohan to see the peach blossoms.On Zhanghuatai, you can also see the Qianjiang River, which is a river that traverses Jiangling City. The scenery on both sides is beautiful and magnificent.In ancient times, this area was called "Yunmengze", an extremely beautiful name.

Yunmengze and Zhanghuatai, although there is a word "Taiwan" in them, they are actually just a vast area of ​​hills.A long, long time ago, in the distant Spring and Autumn Period, this place was a veritable Taiwan, because it was where the Li Palace of Chu State was located.King Ling of Chu built it with the power of the whole country, and it took a few years to complete.The platform is ten feet high and the base is fifteen feet wide. It takes three rests to reach the apex, so it is also called "three rest platform".Known as "the first station in the world" at that time.

This extravagant and majestic tower and palace was kept until the fall of the Chu Kingdom. After that, King Chu Xiang, the son of King Huai of Chu, still spread the allusion of cloud and rain in Wushan here.However, after the death of Chu, Zhanghua Terrace was burned and gradually abandoned. Now the vicissitudes of life have long lost the magnificence of the past.The hills and forests evolved from the towering rammed earth foundations silently prove the magnificent palace that once existed here.

According to "Mozi" records: "In the past, King Ling of Chu was a good scholar with a thin waist. Therefore, the ministers of King Ling all took a meal as a festival, threatened and then took it, and then supported the wall and then rose. Compared with the year, the court has the color of Li Hei .”

From this point of view, King Ling of Chu not only likes women with thin waists, but also likes scholar-bureaucrats with thin waists.As a result, the princes and ministers of Chu State went on a diet to lose weight, and they were dizzy from hunger.Sitting upside down for a long time, when I stand up, I have to support the wall.

When Shen Sui read "Mozi", he read this point and found it very absurd.Especially since then, "Warring States Policy" records that King Chu Wei, known as the hero of the Warring States Period, also talked with his courtier Mo Aozihua about King Ling of Chu and his Zhang Huatai.Mo Aozihua said that "the King Ling of Chu has a thin waist, and the Chu scholars make appointments to eat", which shows that the scholar-bureaucrats all hope to be favored by the king.

Shen Sui felt that Mo Aozihua's words were so unreasonable, how could "the King of Chu is so thin" explain this, scholar-bureaucrats hope to win the king's favor, but they shouldn't do it in this way.This is called flattery, and it is a hundred thousand miles away from "leading Mingjun to favor".Fortunately, King Chu Wei still thinks it makes sense, which is really unreasonable.

Looking at the scenery and nostalgia is probably a common problem of literati, and Shen Sui is not immune to it.Riding the horse on the official road, looking at the rolling and low hills in the distance, her good mood seemed to have diminished a lot.Thinking of the lord's favor, she thought of Li Jinyue, Princess of Jin, and couldn't help but feel a sense of distress in her chest.She kept forcing herself not to think about these things, but she couldn't help herself.If you think about it, just think about it, just trust the horse and let it go, and stop deliberately avoiding taboos.

Li Jinyue has always been her most trusted partner, and among her peers, she has the most admiration and favor.I respect and admire her because she has the qualities of self-denial and diligence that ordinary people can't imagine.With such a noble status, she lived on thin ice when she was a child, so she developed such a character.Her father, the most noble man in the empire, was extremely suspicious and dissatisfied with her. It was really hard to imagine why a monarch would treat his daughter like this.But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed very reasonable. As his first child, this girl probably reminded him of many people and women back then.

In order to make my father like me more, don't always look at me with a cold face; let my mother feel more relieved, and don't have to always worry about it. The little girl started her hard-working and hard-working study career.Get up at four o'clock every day, regardless of the severe cold or heat, you must practice martial arts for two hours.Afterwards, she took a bath, had breakfast, and then started morning classes, reading, practicing calligraphy, and composition.

After lunch, learn riding and archery, and learn the art of war.After dinner, practice martial arts for another two hours, then take a bath, read, and go to bed.Her life is like a clepsydra with precise scale, every drop must fall at the exact time, and it never changes.There is almost no entertainment in her life, and she doesn't smile much after the age of five, and she looks like a little adult all day long, with a sad face.So much so that when Shen Sui saw her for the first time, he felt that a fly could be caught between her eyebrows.

It was only after Lian Maid entered the Imperial Academy with her that her condition improved and the smiles on her face increased.The lotus maid and herself, as her only two friends, undoubtedly occupy an extremely important position in her heart.And they were able to enter the Imperial College to be her companions, and it was because Her Highness asked her natal family for help in every possible way, and after many times looking for saints to study, she finally got it.She loves her daughter, and she doesn't want her only daughter to lose the innocence and joy that a child should have at a young age.So she invited two friends for her daughter, which changed the fate of many people since then.

The three of them are best friends, but such a simple relationship has undergone irreversible changes with the passage of time and their irreversible growth.

Shen Sui felt extremely distressed by this, every time he thought about it, his heart would ache.

But Shen Sui's fondness for Li Jinyue has never changed.Not only because she is his friend, and it is possible to use her power to achieve his goals, but also because she is the most suitable person to be the successor of this huge empire in Shen Sui's opinion.Among the saint's many sons, none was better than her, but just because she was a woman, the empire was about to lose an extremely wise and heroic leader, which made Shen Sui very sad.

The Tang Dynasty can no longer tolerate the heroine Wu, nor can it tolerate the rooster Sichen. Female interference in politics is the most sensitive topic at the moment, touching the nerves of every person in power.Even though there are still many aristocratic women secretly participating in and influencing the government affairs, no one dares to bring this kind of thing to the surface.Because of that, they will be attacked by groups, which is the most intolerable thing for today's saints.

Therefore, Concubine Wu Hui can only be a concubine in the harem, no matter how ambitious she is, she cannot follow the old path of Emperor Wu, and the daughters of many saints can only become mediocre princesses in the Taiping world, and cannot become the second Princess Taiping.Under such circumstances, Li Jinyue, the outstanding and talented princess who controls the military power, is undoubtedly always on top of the blade. She has always been the vane of the saint's attitude towards women's interference in politics.

And Shen Sui didn't want her to continue to be this vane, because that would be too unfair.Although there is no fairness in this world, Shen Sui doesn't want anyone to bully or take advantage of his friend, even if that person is the friend's biological father.

Wanting to do this is entirely out of Shen Sui's personal emotions; but to accomplish this, she needs her rational thinking.She planned for a long time for this, until the friend she wanted to help made an extremely stupid choice and took the lead in beating her back, which put her in a dilemma.It's like you want to help your friend fight an injustice, but she wants to take away your most cherished treasure, causing Shen Sui to vomit blood and get internal injuries.

This is really an unsolvable matter, Shen Sui can only bite the bullet and try to solve it forcefully, without any shortcut.

Thinking of this, her thoughts were brought back to reality by Kuta's call:

"Dalang, there is a carriage ahead asking us for help."

Shen Sui looked forward intently, and saw a carriage parked crookedly in the middle of the road on the ridge in front of him.The coachman squatted beside the wheel helplessly, as if he couldn't figure out why.Seeing Shen Sui and others passing by, the driver immediately ran to the middle of the road and waved to them.Not far from the car, stood two women.One of them was wearing a servant girl's hair bun, with an ordinary appearance, and one could tell it was a maid at a glance. Standing beside the maid was a woman in a black dress and a black dress, covering her face with a black veil, looking at her with an inexplicable sense of mystery.She should be the owner of the carriage.

Shen Sui stopped the convoy and asked Hutuo to inquire about the situation.Hu Tuo complied, got off his horse and went to talk to the coachman.After returning, he reported to Shen Sui:

"The driver said that the axle of their carriage was broken. The two girls hired his carriage and wanted to visit the tomb by Zhangtaiyuan. They asked us if we were on the way, and if we could give them a ride. Don't waste the time."

Shen Sui frowned, if it was in the past, it would be fine, she would definitely not resign if she could help, but today she is still bringing Zhang Ruohan with her, suddenly an outsider joins in, which really makes her feel uncomfortable.She thought about it, and said to Huta:

"You go and get my toolbox. I'll see what's wrong with the car and see if I can fix it."

"Okay." Hutuo replied.

Shen Sui dismounted, turned back to Zhang Ruohan's carriage, and said a few words to Zhang Ruohan through the window, Zhang Ruohan's voice was calm and indifferent:

"Go ahead, don't worry."

"Okay, I'll be fine soon."

Shen Sui was in front, and Hu Tuo was behind with the toolbox. The two came to the side of the carriage. Shen Sui looked into the wheel axle and frowned tightly.

How did this car drive and how could it break down like this?

The author has something to say: Speaking of Yunmengze, archeology fans and history fans will definitely think of "Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Bamboo Slips" immediately. Yes, the excavation of Sleeping Tiger Land Qin Bamboo Slips marks a major breakthrough in the study of Qin history. The name is really impressive.

This chapter originally thought of the name "the three of them" and "the three of us" by Mr. Yang Jiang. The relationship between the three seems to be different, so I gave up.

Mengze is sad and the wind moves the white grasses, and the king of Chu buried all the beautiful women in the city.

How much can unknown singing and dancing be?Virtually reduce the palace chef to a thin waist. ——Tang Li Shangyin "Mengze"

Friends, this is the end of the national collective weight loss, have you seen it? 【What the hell】
