Chang'an ancient meaning

Shangguan Wan'er sent Li Xian to another courtyard, Princess Wei looked at Shangguan Wan'er, and said softly: "He just came back, tell him about the affairs in the palace." Shangguan Wan'er breathed lightly, Hanging his head in silence, Webster led the children back out.Li Xian sat on a high chair and looked around the room with some confusion. This room was lived in by someone, and it was tidy and tidy. There was an arrow dendrobium hanging on the wall, showing a few carved feathers.

Shangguan Wan'er was always standing three steps away from him. Ten golden and silver lantern trees illuminated the room as brightly as day, but she was hidden in a small shadow.The shadow covered her 36-year-old face, and covered the cruel forbearance in the eyes of the girl who led Li Xian into the Qianyuan Hall 14 years ago.Fourteen years later, Li Xian looked at her with pity and an indescribable loathing. He saw the beauty and lingering, those poetic and spiritual sorrows that belonged to girls, slowly in this place like pain. The woman recovered.

Li Xian sighed, stretched out his hand, and called her: "Wan'er, come on, don't stand so far away." Shangguan Wan'er took two steps forward, she lowered her head and saluted: "Your Highness, what's the matter, just ask the servant girl." " Li Xian asked: "Are you... okay?" Shangguan Wan'er didn't answer, she seemed to be standing on the edge of a knife, she didn't dare to exert any force in her body, the thin collarbone exposed on the tube top was like a wounded butterfly, in the warm Trembling gently in the spring night.

Li Xian stretched out his hand to pull him, and a tear from Shangguan Wan'er just fell on his hand.Li Xian's last grievance was melted by this scorching tear. He pulled Shangguan Wan'er into his arms, hugged her long and flexible waist tightly, and greedily breathed the phoenix marrow on her body, which symbolizes luxury and wealth. Xiang, this smell is too far away from him, he can't even dream of it.

Shangguan Wan'er also smelled some strange smell from Li Xian's body, mixed with dust and rotten grass smell, her arms wrapped around Li Xian's old and loose neck like a snake.Dimly, she thought of the men she had hugged in her life, most of them were noble and good-looking, even Wu Sansi was cunning and domineering.But the world's most important weapon was about to return to the ignorant and powerless hands, so she could only love him. She suddenly understood the emperor's helplessness and unwillingness.

Shangguan Wan'er buried her face in Li Xian's neck, tears streaming down his clothes, she murmured: "It's the servant who harmed His Highness." Li Xian smiled shyly, too much suffering and life and death Reincarnation made him understand tolerance, he patted Shangguan Wan'er's shoulder, and said blankly: "I don't blame you, you have been by mother's side all these years—it was not easy..."

In the early morning of the second day, the emperor said to Di Renjie: "Your proposal to call back the king of Luling, I should think about it slowly." After that, Fang stood up and said calmly: "Return to the king of Luling!" Shangguan Wan'er pulled back the purple curtain behind the emperor, and Li Xian looked at him shyly and ashamedly saying goodbye to the 14-year glorious court.

All the ministers thought that the emperor took Luling King Li Xian back, so they made some moves, but the emperor just let Li Xian's family live in the palace for half a year without a name and title, and never mentioned the matter of establishing an heir.In August, the Eastern Turkic Modu Khan detained Wu Yanxiu, king of Huaiyang, who was going to greet his relatives, and said: "I have received Li's kindness in this life, and I want to marry Li as a daughter, and I will use Wu's son. I heard that Li's only two sons are here. , I will set up soldiers to support it." The Eastern Turks came fiercely, trapped Dingzhou and besieged Zhaozhou, and Hebei was in danger. The emperor mobilized 45 troops twice to cope with it.In September, Li Dan, who was also in panic all day long, finally made up his mind to kneel down in front of the Fragrant Hall of Shangyang Palace, begging to be inferior to his elder brother King Luling.

Under the pleadings of the emperor's heir Li Dan, the emperor changed Li Xian, the king of Luling, as the crown prince, and lowered Li Dan as the prime minister.Two days later, the emperor appointed Prince Li Xian as the marshal of the Hebei army to conquer the Turks. Within three days, more than [-] people joined the army. However, after recruiting soldiers for a month before, there were less than [-] applicants.After hearing the good news, the emperor stood up slowly. She felt exhausted and isolated like never before. Her sons, the common people in the world, the barbarians and the barbarians were all openly confronting her.

In October, Li Dan's sons, who had been confined for several years, and Li Shouli, the son of the late Zhanghuai Prince Li Xian, were finally released from the pavilion. Has Li Dan's Xiangwang Mansion been repaired? The Five Kings Mansion where Li Chengqi and others once lived It was abandoned for several years and needed to be cleaned and arranged again. Princess Taiping asked her elder brother and nephews to temporarily live in a villa in the south of her city.After Li Longfan and Li Longye settled their house, they went to play with Li Longji. Li Longji and Yuan Yuan were planting chrysanthemums in the courtyard.Li Longye walked in on tiptoe, jumped up and patted Li Longji on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Third brother is so affectionate, he is now an old nurse."

Li Longji was taken aback, turned around and looked at his younger brother with a smile, now Longye was almost as tall as him, changed into brocade clothes and Baodian belt, and became a handsome young man.Li Longji smiled and said: "It's haunted again, have you cleaned it up?" Li Longye said with a smile: "Let them clean it up, and I can't help, so I might as well come and play with you." ?” Li Longye said with a smile: “They are all very busy, father was called into the palace by third uncle, second brother followed to see his mother, and eldest brother was called away by cousin Hua Nu.”

Li Longji knew that since Li Chengqi left the palace, Xue Chongjian had been by his side all day, he smiled faintly, and gave Yuan Yuan a wink, Yuan Yuan hurriedly took the silver basin to wash his hands for him, and then wiped his handkerchief.Li Longye tilted his head to look at Yuan Yuan, and saw that she was wearing a lotus-colored undergarment, covered with gold thread woven into a beanie, and a long white skirt, with a hairpin decorated with white jade on her head, and a thin layer of powder on her face. There are a pair of yellow flowers painted on the emerald eyebrows, a pair of flowers on the cheeks, and a small pendant of Sesel stone on each of the two ears, flashing back and forth like a swing.

Li Longye was surprised, touched her earrings with a smile, and said, "I never thought you were so good-looking before." Yuan Yuan blushed slightly, and Li Longji smiled and said, "You go in first, and tell them to fix some wine and vegetables." Li Longye smiled and said, "Third brother is too stingy, so why not talk to us, we are all acquaintances." Li Longfan slapped him on the forehead and said with a smile: " Stupid! The wife of the trough will not go to court, and the third brother is afraid that you will kidnap his people." Li Longji pretended to reprimand: "You are becoming more and more unruly." Li Longye said with a smile: "Don't blame the third brother, I don't know why. I can't sleep for a few days and feel sleepy, and I want to have fun while walking." Li Longji looked at his excited younger brother lovingly, but said: "I don't even have this kind of determination, which shows that I haven't read too much."

In the evening, when Li Longji returned to the room, she saw Yuan Yuan sitting in front of the dressing table taking off her makeup. She leaned in front of the mirror and used her fingernails to remove the makeup, but because of the cold weather, the fish glue was so tight that she never took it off several times. .Li Longji smiled slightly, and said: "That's right." He stepped forward and raised Yuan Yuan's face, leaned over to kiss her cheeks, and was about to take it off for her, when he suddenly saw her eyes tightly closed. His eyes and cheeks were as red as the clouds, and he felt cute in his heart, so he used the tip of his tongue to moisten the flower, and finally took the little flower away.

Yuan Yuan was fascinated, and whispered in a low voice: "Tomorrow... don't post it." Li Longji smiled and said: "Post it, I like to read it." He suddenly felt that these words were familiar, as if he had said it before, and concentrated I thought about it, but I didn't think about it.He sat sideways on the bed, hugged Yuan Yuan's waist, smiled in her ear: "Guess what the fourth brother said about you today?" Yuan Yuan took off the earrings, said: "It's just making fun of the slave." Li Longji squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "He said that the wife of a trough will not go to court." Yuan Yuan paused his hands and said, "I don't have that kind of blessing." Li Longji hugged her soft waist and smelled her body There seems to be a faint fragrance of blue musk deer, and there are not many taboos in the strong love. She hugged her and lay down slowly, and said with a smile: "I say there is."

A few days later, Xue Chongjian discovered that Li Chengqi, who was out of the cage, was busier than him.He intended to stay in the villa to live with Li Chengqi, but Taiping wanted to bring him into the palace from time to time and keep him by his side because there were many things going on in the palace recently.Xue Chongjian went out of the palace several times and went straight to the villa, but they were all in vain. Either Li Chengqi was invited by Li Shouli to the new house, or he went to visit several famous poets and scholars in the city of God. Even if he was at home occasionally, he was surrounded by old friends who came to visit However, the two of them didn't even have the time to talk alone, and he was quite depressed.

In the afternoon of that day, he agreed to teach his third uncle's son Li Chongrun to ride a horse. He was thinking about Li Chengqi again, so he brought Li Chongrun to the villa in the south of the city.A Luo, the maidservant, was putting boxes of books on the shelf. Seeing him, she smiled and said, "Erlang came by accident, His Highness was just called away." They are very familiar with each other, and they don't pay much attention to etiquette, and they are still busy with their work.

Xue Chongjian was very displeased, and said disgruntledly, "Who is it today?" A Luo smiled and said, "It's a young master named Cui Shi, who said that His Highness's attendant in the East Palace sent these books, and His Highness talked to him about it." I was so happy, I went out with him later, without even bringing any entourage. Erlang, you also studied with His Highness back then, do you know that young master? His surname is Cui, and he came from an official background. I don’t know if it is the Cui family of Qinghe Or the Cui family of Boling?" Another court lady said with a smile: "Little Nizi's heart is moving, you see that she is born beautiful, so go and inquire about her family background." A Luo twisted her face, and said with a smile: " I don't know who spilled the tea on someone's hand on purpose, just to touch it..." The maid immediately blushed and cursed with a smile, and went forward to shake A Luo's mouth.

Xue Chongjian listened to the rambling thoughts of the girls, and felt very irritable. She walked around the room twice in boredom, flipped through the books, and saw that most of them were poetry and prose.Strolling to the side of the case again, I saw a roll of paper pressed with a jade ruler on the case, with the inscription on it: I respectfully submit it to you, Cui Shi.He took it over and flipped through it, and saw half of a poem: "...The mirror in the brothel is dark in the daytime, and the red tents and clothes are fragrant. The concubine hates being alone for ten years, and the love of the king is in Yuyang[1]." Euphemistic and subtle, elegant and handsome, he has won the essence of the two kings. It is presumably Cui Shi copied his own poems.

Although Xue Chongjian knew that their literati often wrote poems representing boudoir love, but this poem was given to Li Chengqi by Cui Shi, which made him feel depressed.Those beautiful handwriting seemed to fly all over the eyes, and the rest could not be read, so they were thrown on the table casually.He said to Li Chongrun, "He's not here, let's go."

Although Li Chongrun was older than Xue Chongjian, he was very cautious in his demeanor. He saw that Xue Chongjian was in a bad mood, so he said softly: "How about... let's go find him?" His accent was quite different from that of the capital, although his voice was suppressed It was extremely low, but it still caused a room of maidservants to turn their heads in surprise, and several of them laughed lightly. Li Chongrun blushed suddenly, and lowered his head, not daring to speak again.Xue Chongjian said angrily: "This is King Shao, you are all going to turn against him!" Seeing Li Chongrun's shyness and beauty, the maidservants thought they were Xue Chongjian's friend and retainer, and didn't care, but they didn't expect that this young man was actually the eldest son of the current crown prince. The title was still higher than that of his own county king, so he was shocked, and they all knelt down and said: "Your Majesty is a thousand years old."

Li Chongrun's identity was exposed by Xue Chongjian, and he was even more embarrassed. He gently pulled Xue Chongjian's sleeve for help.Xue Chongjian usually treats his servants very casually, but today for some unknown reason, an unknown fire arose, and those maidservants were all from his family, so he took out his identity as the young master and shouted: "Kneel down! Wait for the Shouchun County King to come back. , let him send you off!" With a sneer, he took Li Chongrun's hand and went out.

Li Chengqi was taken out by Cui Shi, and the two of them sat in Cui Shi's car together without riding a horse. Cui Shi smiled and said, "Where do you want to go?" Gao Yundan is very satisfied and is not in a hurry to go shopping. If you have nothing else to do, can you take me to visit Mr. Du Bijian?" Cui Shi said: "Your Highness wants to see Du Shenyan. You don't need to be busy. Recently, Lu Zhaolin took the wrong medicine. Half of his body is paralyzed and he is recuperating at Old Du's house. He won't leave Shendu for a while. There is a wonderful place, Your Highness should go and see it." Li Chengqi asked doubtfully, "Where is it?" Cui Shi said with a mysterious smile: " You'll know when you get there."

After entering the city, people's voices gradually became noisy, and the carriages also moved slowly. Li Chengqi heard all kinds of yelling outside the window like porridge, and remembered the last time he heard this sound, he was still riding in the chariot bestowed by the emperor. Ministry.For a moment, there were mixed feelings in my heart, sighed, and said in a low voice: "The years pass, and suddenly it is like flying." Cui Shi guessed his mind, shook his hand and said: "Forget your worries and share with each other, let's enjoy the eternal love. [2]" Li Chengqi smiled and said, "I'm ashamed."

Passing through several alleys, the carriage stopped at a street corner, Cui Shi lifted the curtain and said with a smile: "See for yourself." Li Chengqi probed over and saw a magnificent mansion in the distance, a rich mansion with golden cornices, in front of the door Cars are like flowing water and horses are like swimming dragons.According to the regulations, the house should be a royal residence, but Li Chengqi couldn't think about which noble relative lived here, and looked back at Cui Shi in puzzlement.The corner of Cui Shiqingjun's mouth curled into a mocking and contemptuous smile, and said, "This is Zhang Changzong's foreign house."

Only then did Li Chengqi suddenly realize that Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yi's brothers were favored by the emperor.Cui Shi snorted coldly and said: "Look, that person is the internal history of Prince Liang's mansion." Li Chengqi was used to Xue Huaiyi's grand momentum in the palace, and he didn't want to go into it, so he put down the curtain and said: "Every year Flowers are similar every year, but people are different every year." Cui Shi shook his head and said: "Your Highness is mistaken, these two people are from a family, they are well-read poems and books, they are far from being comparable to Feng Xiaobao's street people. Your Highness knows that this time the prince will be called back. Who contributed the most?"

Hearing what he said, Li Chengqi was surprised: "Could it be them?" Cui Shi nodded slowly and said: "Di Renjie has spoken to His Majesty several times before. Blood food, has long been unwilling to establish the king of Wei as his heir. It's just that your majesty is afraid that after the establishment of a son, he will end up in the Tang Dynasty and she will die. This is why the emperor's heir and his highness have been confined for several years, and it has been difficult to make a decision. Your majesty is already old, and there are border troubles The day is getting deeper and people's hearts are not attached, and there should be something behind him. It is imperative to pass on the throne. Di Renjie and others have repeatedly asked His Majesty to call back the Luling King in order to strengthen the Li family and suppress the martial arts. The emperor's heir has been in existence for several years, and they will definitely not think of abolishing the establishment. They just use the emperor's heir to inherit the throne, and the two Zhangs will have no merit. "

Li Chengqi listened to him silently, then gently opened the corner of the curtain, looked at the cloud-like crown in front of the gate of Zhang's house, he could vaguely guess the intention of Cui Shi's words to him, and said with a light smile: "Chenglan, maybe You have misunderstood, my father abdicated with the third uncle, and there is absolutely no intention of forcing it. You may have heard about the case back then. At that time, my father did have the opportunity to leave the palace. I was afraid at the time, knowing that staying was waiting to die In my heart, I also hope that my father will agree. My father only said a word to Khan Xingxi. After three years, I understand him more and more. These days, I just watched the gulls walk on the water and the trees fall by the pool, and I feel peaceful in my heart. Sanbo should be the crown prince in Fanben, so don't mention your words in the future."

Cui Shi smiled and said: "Forget it, I just said that these two people control the government. If you are careful, how can you separate your family? Those who know me say that I am worried, and those who don't know me say what I want. You don't like it." Let’s go to another place where we can enjoy the pickle!”

Cui Shi took Li Chengqi all the way to the south, and after leaving the city, it gradually became deserted. Seeing the carriage stopped in a wasteland, Cui Shi ordered the driver to stop and helped Li Chengqi get off the carriage.Li Chengqi said, "Where is this?" Cui Shi said with a smile, "This is the place I often come to after I go to court. When I come here to take a bridle and write poems, I can brush off the common dust in my chest." Li Chengqi said with a smile, "Chenglan is really really Elegant."

Cui Shi and Li Chengqi walked a few steps away slowly. At this time, dusk was approaching, the autumn wind swayed, the yellow dust darkened, and the flock of geese flew south, and the shrill sound pierced the sky.The night wind blew the robes of the two of them rattling, as if they were walking on an ancient battlefield in a daze.Cui Shi sighed: "Try to look at the plains, the vines linger on the bones, and the arched trees hold the soul. Life is here, what is the way of heaven [3]." Gui Zhi, what hatred do you have?"

Cui Shi put his hands behind his back and said: "When a man is born in the world, he may sweep the world with eight hundred riders like Huo whoring and Yao, or he will lead the peace like Zhang Zifang assisting the Lord. Like me, I bow down to the ranks of Er Zhang and others, and look for chapters. Excerpted sentence, wasted spring and autumn, often thinking about it late at night, sweating profusely, shameless." Li Chengqi didn't know that Cui Shi's fame was so serious, and advised him: "The future will be long."

Cui Shi raised his head and smiled and said, "Just listen to my complaints, I forgot the good things I brought you." He turned back quickly and took a leather bag from the car. Some snacks like jerky.Cui Shi raised the skin in his hand and said: "This is the strong wine brought back from the border by my father's friend. It tastes quite different from the fine wine from the Central Plains." He smiled in surprise, "You are very thoughtful."

They sat on the ground, Cui Shi handed the skin pouch to Li Chengqi, Li Chengqi took a sip, only to feel that his mouth was like a knife, and his lungs were burning like fire, he almost choked out, so he quickly ate a piece of dried meat and tried his best to hold it down.Cui Shi took the skin bag with a smile, and took a sip directly to his mouth, but immediately blushed from coughing.Seeing him like this, Li Chengqi burst into a suppressed cough, both of them found it funny, and laughed while coughing.

The wine was very strong, even though it was only a small bag, the two of them drank it together, they drank less than half of it, and they both felt drunk.At the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the night came quickly, and the coachman lit a bonfire for them. Cui Shi drank more than Li Chengqi, and Xun Xun couldn't hold it anymore. There were no wine pots and pans at the table.In his drunken eyes, he saw the golden light of the treasure belt on Li Chengqi's waist reflected by the fire, and said with a smile, "Give this to me." Cui Shi tapped the golden lock on the treasure belt with chopsticks, and chanted: "The wind blows the sea, and the sand and gravel are blown thousands of miles away. Looking up, you can't see the sky, and you are so faint...[4]"

Xue Chongjian took Li Chongrun to play all afternoon. Li Chongrun saw that he was absent-minded all the time, so he reasoned that he couldn't stay outside the palace for a long time, and went back early.Xue Chongjian went back to the villa again, and saw that the maidservants were all kneeling and crying, but Li Chengqi hadn't come back yet.He couldn't help himself, so he went to Cui Shi's mansion to look for him. Cui Shi's family said that Cui Shi had not come back, but told Xue Chongjian that Cui Shi had the habit of going out to the south of the city to write poems at dusk.Xue Chongjian rode out of the city again to look for it. At this time, the weather was getting colder, and there were very few people going out at night, and the cluster of bonfires on the plain was very eye-catching.He rode his horse and took a few steps towards the flame. What he saw in front of him seemed to be in a dream. He thought he was wrong, and rubbed his eyes hesitantly: the mischievous flame danced in his eyes, like red The curtain, but intentionally outlines the two figures cuddling closely together.A handsome young man rested his head on Li Chengqi's shoulder, with a smile on his lips and flushed cheeks. Even though he was a few steps away, Xue Chongjian could still feel that his slightly narrow and long phoenix eyes were about to drip charmingly.

There was a loud rumble in his heart, and there was a severe pain in his chest at first, just like the last time he was hit by a board, the pain was so extreme that he couldn't make a sound, only his lungs convulsed and convulsed, and he wanted to vomit.For a moment, he couldn't figure out why he felt this way, he just wondered in a daze, there must be something wrong, how could it be a man's eyes, how could a man have such a pair of eyes?

The author has something to say: [1] Cui Shi - "Dai Chun Gui", some people say that this song was written by his younger brother.

[2] Both of them cited Cao Pi's poems, the former is "Haoli on the Great Wall", and the later is "Writing in Xuanwupi" [3] Jiang Yan - "Hateful Fu" [4] Cui Shi - "A Journey to Saiyuan" The flower slave came to catch the rape.

I have always been interested in Cui Shi, reading his poems and essays, there are many bold and unrestrained frontier poems, and the habit of composing poems out of the city at dusk is also very Tang style, but he made a face, and used the most humble way to obtain it. official career.It can only be said that this person is a tragedy unique to that era.
