He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

This place is remote, and from time to time there are a few eunuchs and court ladies arguing about one or two pieces of broken ice, the ice fell and turned into water, and when I looked down, I felt that all the laughter and joyous songs were far away from the Tiangong Tower.

Strictly speaking, Jingzhao-Webster was connected to the imperial family and went down to the nine ranks. Unlike Zhang, Pei and other scholarly families, they are old aristocrats who have always been pragmatic and shrewd. They do not shy away from fame. deficit.

The matter Wei Wenkui mentioned is related to the waterlogging in Guanzhong this year.

The land in Guanzhong is barren, and there has been a need for grain adjustment since ancient times.The grain is stationed in Taicang, which is managed by the warehouse department of the household department. It is divided into five functions: imperial use, military use, relief, official salary, and market control. If the grain market is compared to a fish pond, the upstream is from the confluence of Yongji Canal and Tongji Canal. Water is injected into Taicang, and the water is discharged from the five uses in the downstream, and the balance can be used to feed the large and small fish inside.

In the past ten years, the imperial court has concentrated its efforts on opening up commercial routes in the Western Regions and clearing the frontiers in the Northeast. Therefore, military use has always been the priority for the five uses, and even reduced royal use and official salaries at critical moments before it gnawed at the present vast territory.

However, after a heavy rain, floods in Guanzhong suddenly broke out, and the situation changed.Not to mention that the warehouses in the control city were the first to run out, and now even if the emperor took the royal family and some officials to visit Luoyang eastward in order to reduce the official salary, the warehouse food is still not enough for the disaster relief. In this way, the only way is to abolish the military use and increase the relief food at the same time. can save the situation.

The abolition of military use depends on Xiao Qiaofu's face, and the increase in relief food depends on the ability of the servant Pei Yaoqing, but for Wei Wenkui, leading his subordinates to work hard is to lead the propaganda and make arrangements For the state banquet, he put in a lot of hard work. If he insisted that the natural disaster had something to do with him, he would be right, and that would be his time to make money.

A few days ago, Wei Lan, governor of Songzhou, asked someone to deliver a letter to his family, complaining that the relief food allocated by the Ministry of Households was insufficient. Thousands of households in seven or eight counties including An, Liang, and Qi, after struggling for half a month, finally agreed to let the government preside over the investment promotion , Discount hundreds of acres of water and land by [-]% and sell them to wealthy merchants in exchange for grain to continue their lives this winter.

The book also said that at this moment, as long as Wei Shilang finds a suitable person to take over the land for the Wei family, no matter how much the price is, it can be called saving the common people from suffering and benevolence, so Wei Wenkui thought of it for the first time. It was Gu Yue.

Letting Gu Yue handle this matter can be said to kill two birds with one stone. First, it can destroy his madness of being friendly on all sides. Second, those who benefit from each other will live together. If he is stained with dirty water, he can only be left behind In the cabin, I can no longer get off the boat.

"Gu Lang, don't just go to Saibei, you won't understand the world when you come back." Wei Wenkui came back to his senses, and then said, "Such a fertile paddy field, in a normal year, even if the price is ten times and a hundred times, but the official document, you can buy it." not."

Gu Yue was still drunk, leaning on the railing with one elbow: "Brother Wei, listen to me, it is most suitable for the Lu family of the Changping Court to take over this matter. They have done several times for the residence of the Ten Kings, buying land that was sold at a low price, With a profit, the year will improve, and it will be sold to the owner's house through the bank, using Tongbao, and no one will be able to find out the evidence without stamping the ingots."

Wei Wenkui said: "You don't want benefits?" Gu Yue said: "Just kidding, I don't know how to farm..." As soon as the words fell, Wei Wenkui suddenly sneered: "Ingratitude!"

At that moment, eyes were dark, and Gu Yue felt that molten liquid was poured on his neck, and every slight breath would tear his blood.

Wei Wenkui looked at him, and stretched out his finger to Guanghua in Cuiyingyuan: "Qujiang fishing, Pingkang chopping, drawing mandarin ducks and returning them to the poetry club, Gu Yuanwai is so uncomfortable? But today, if Yuanwai does not agree to Wei, come to the pear orchard What caused the trouble, and who will Taichang Temple ask to bear the blame? Is it Li Guiyan or Su Moyan? Think twice before answering."

Released in one breath, Gu Yue propped himself on the ground, coughing and panting until his complexion was purple. After a long time, he closed his eyes and replied, "I understand. Brother Wei, please be safe and don't be impatient. Give me half a month." Well, you're smart."

After talking about the matter, the two of them walked back to Lanhua Shiyuan one after the other, as if nothing had happened, Li Ju, who was penetrating, knocked on the wine bottle with his chopsticks, still urging Gu Yue to continue to drink up the remaining seven jars of imperial wine .

Amid the commotion, Wei Wenkui raised his eyebrows and put the golden cup back in the middle of the table.Li Ju said: "Hurry up, Gu..."

"Zhuang Yuanlang!"

It was at this time that Su An came for a tour of Lanhuayuan in a chariot. When he first arrived, it was like a bright moon rising on a rainy night, which attracted all kinds of talents to forget to talk and laugh for a while.Gu Yue stood in the same place, his eyes flashed with shock, and suddenly remembered something, he hurriedly saluted Su An with everyone.

Su An glanced at the scene, and asked with a smile: "What's going on?" After another glance, his expression gradually became complicated.He just heard from Li Linfu that because the price of food could not be controlled, the elders Xiao and Han disagreed, and they would always quarrel in front of the saint. Honored.

"The number one scholar." Su An got off the chariot and walked in front of Li Ju, "The prodigy Jinzhan is genuine, how can it be fake?"

Li Ju argues with reason: "It's fake to use tools to avoid drinking." Su An smiled, ignoring Gu Yue, and ignoring Wei Wenkui: "Most of the wine orders are taken out of context, and the supreme saint even had a golden saying in the palace, 'You know the wine of the prodigy. He is charming from Jinzhan.', the empress also said that it is really too much to drink, but Li Lang is lying, well, I will mention it someday."

You gentlemen don't know, Su is a young man who is favored by young people, and has always had a habit of banqueting and punishing top scholars, but no one can do anything about it.Seeing this battle, Li Ju didn't know who he had offended, so he had to take Jinzhan and drink it with a smile and tears.

Wei Wenkui said: "Su Blessing." Su An stood up straight and said cheerfully, "Wei Shilang!" Wei Wenkui got up, looked at Gu Yue, stopped entanglement, and flung his sleeves away.

Zhou Quan let out a long breath, and ordered several principals to take care of him.Gu Yue hesitated to speak.Su An walked up to Gu Yue, turned around, with concern in his eyes.Gu Yue's Adam's apple twitched, and he stretched out his hand to touch it, but Su An dodged it again.

"Asu."

Su An thought for a while, and put his fingertips against his lips: "Don't worry, I'll go and apologize to Wei Shilang in a while, don't worry about it, the Imperial Palace is very lively, and Brother Guiyan wants to listen to it, at the end Come pick me up, I'll wait for you."

The Lanhua Poetry Garden is getting more and more lively. The prince and princess wandered around, admiring the flowers and the moon with the courtiers.At that time, Yan Pingyuan was writing in a corner, when suddenly, Princess Yuzhen pulled him away with a splash, and he was startled.

Yu Zhen pondered: "Jiang Ning's poems, tempered by the Northwest Frontier, are majestic, and the meaning of the sentences is steep. They can be said to be clear in the deep, and they are full of signs of revival." Yan Pingyuan saluted and said: "Your Highness recognizes Brother Long Biao?" Yuzhen smiled and said: "It's not just him, I've seen your regular script before, it's upright and solid, but today's running script is powerful, as if it was born with a poem, it has a soul, it's the first time I've seen it." Ping Yuan said: "Your Highness is absurd."

The three elements of Tude are upright, and Yao's heart is the same as all nations.

Fenyin prepares for the winter ceremony, and Changle responds to the wind.

Thanks to the celebration of Chutianze, and the joy of the old Zhu Palace.

The towers grow out of the sea, and the flute drums out of the sky.

The Wuxiao feast is first received, and the long night song is not over yet.

The rain closes with the green curtain, and the moon shines and dances in the sky.

Yubi is divided into dynasties, and articles are published by Sheng Cong.

The foolish minister wrote Fu and sang the praises of Sitong.

Poems and characters complement each other, and immediately become the focus of comments and praises from all the officials. The old ones dare not show their edge, so they let the young ones accompany them.Pei Yan had already prepared ahead of time, so the Qilu also won a lot of applause. After the tide passed, he just sat next to Gu Yue, took out a bowl of Su Shan from the water, and placed it in front of the two of them.

"Come on, sober up, since Wei Shilang is not here, don't be surprised if Pei is speaking the truth here." Pei Yan said, "You are in the Ministry of Rites and arranged for Wang Jiangning to be in charge. Yan Pingyuan's inscription was originally unprofitable. The heart of a gentleman."

"Where, they are famous far and wide, and the Ministry of Rites has to follow people's hearts." Gu Yue smiled, and looked at the crisp mountain again. The mountain is no longer a mountain, and the water is no longer water. There are only pale ice flakes left, "And what about me?" I am grateful for the previous reminders from Miss Pinming and Brother Pei, so I specially made this painting, and I ask Brother Pei to take a look at it and hand it over to Miss Pinming."

Gu Yue took out the painting and unfolded it, it was the pair of mandarin ducks.But seeing Pei Yan's expression change from happy pink to moon white, and then to green plum's sourness.Gu Yue paused, suppressed his drowsy drunkenness, and continued: "There are a few other small gifts, dedicated to Brother Pei."

This ceremony was exactly the black account book of Yongji Canal provided by Zhang Zhongchen during the Xuanzheng period. Gu Yue only used a small part of it when he played it again, and the rest of it still remembered Cangzhou Governor Shen and Wu Shilang of the Ministry of War, etc., except for Wang Tingfu, No one in the court knows.

Pei Yan's hands were slightly wet.

The more critical the time is, the more one must know how to be patient. For several months, in order to protect his father Pei Yaoqing's official career and the family's honor and disgrace, he only runs a poetry club and does not talk about politics. He has almost become a hermit with leisurely love .

Until Gu Yue suddenly pierced the window paper.

When Gu Yue was serious, he always made his words explicit and clear. He ran through the market and the village, and had his own views on the coming unprecedented famine.Firstly, the borderlands have fertile soil. If they are properly farmed for self-sufficiency, they can save food for military use and make up for the shortage in Guanzhong. It took more than ten checkpoints to reach the prefectures and counties. Layers of exploitation, excessive loss, and the most urgent of the three are the greed of Jinghu, wantonly hoarding grain, raising the price of grain, forcing the victims to sell their land, and seeking violence from it.

To solve the problem, it is obviously not possible to remonstrate like Han Xiu. The key is that Xiao Qiaofu has controlled the government for a long time, has a wide network of contacts, and has many friendships with the army and the old clan. With such overwhelming pressure, it is not easy to change any of them .

After finishing the long story, Gu Yue pulled Pei Yan and said, "Therefore, under the current situation, only your father can take charge of the government."

Pei Yan was secretly surprised and didn't speak.Gu Yue continued: "Brother Pei, I hide these account books, which are useless and hot to handle, but you are in the Ministry of Education, with a higher vision, pick and choose, and there is always something that can be used. In three or four days, I will tidy them up and send them to the mansion intact, no one will know."

Pei Yan was silent for a moment, and asked back: "This county magistrate is called Zhang Zhongchen?" Gu Yue said: "Exactly, this talent is excellent and capable of governing the region, but it's a pity that he was suppressed by the governor and could not be promoted for ten years, yes, If brother Pei doesn't trust me, you can go to him in private." Pei Yan said: "It's not necessary, I believe you, and I'm waiting for an answer."

Hearing this, Gu Yue paused, suddenly felt the smell of alcohol rushing back to his chest and lungs, he quickly woke up, and replied: "New poems are replaced with old lyrics every year, I'm from a poor family, I don't ask for anything except a shade, it's just me , Ten thousand deaths will not leave the affairs of the family and the state."

The two said their goodbyes, Gu Yue let out a long sigh, and sighed to himself, just like that, he accomplished another feat in this life.

He knew that the land in Songzhou had to be settled first, so that Wei Wenkui could temporarily relax his vigilance and buy opportunities for future actions. He also knew that doing so could not be called a family or a country at all, but only a seller seeking glory.

But he just did it, not for any reason, just for the little music official who is making fun of every frown and smile on the back of the elephant.

The jade leak tells the time bit by bit. Outside a vermilion wall, the three brothers Li Guiyan sing one after another. The sage Li Longji and the kings discussed and rewarded the actors, and drove back to the palace. The night banquet in Huilou came to an end.

At that time, Gu Yue came out from the west and drove to the side gate of Xingqing Palace in a carriage. Inside the gate were chattering people from Liyuan, and there were all kinds of stately carriages blocking the gate.Li Guiyan and others had an appointment with Prince Qi's mansion, Li Mu and Xu Hezi had a tryst in the lane, Lei Haiqing took a bunch of cherries and boarded the chariot of Concubine Mei.Ji Zhaoyi was summoned and asked someone to thank her.

Xie's name is also the name that the officials in the capital ask everywhere - it is dedicated to Su Moyan.Hundreds of families from all over the world are vying to congratulate, who doesn't know the Wen Sanguan bestowed by the emperor?Su An oops, took off the feather crown, and hung the plume tremblingly in the air, teasing everyone to reach out to grab it, but he didn't let anyone touch it, which aroused laughter and curses.

Gu Yue remained silent, reminiscing about the scene just now, but the moment he saw the carriage of the Shou Palace, he snatched Gu Jiu's whip and shouted: "A Su, I'm here!" "Wow" opened the crowd, and hurriedly said: "Let's make way, let's make way, Mr. Gu is waiting here, and I'm here to send Su back to the office."

Two or three Tang court banquet drinking cups

1. Ma Daifeng made "Jiushan piggy bank" such as "Wine Boat": "The wine boat stops every time it reaches the place where the passengers sit, and the wooden man holding the wine stretches out his hand at the bow. When encountering wine, the passengers take the wine and drink it Finished, return the cup, the wooden man accepts the cup, turns back to the person with the wine bowl, fills the cup with wine, and the boat proceeds according to the same method, and every time it arrives at the place where the guests are seated, it is the same as the previous method."

2. "Child prodigy cup": There were frequent banquets and concubines and officials were overwhelmed with alcohol, so they bribed craftsmen to make prodigy calendula.This marigold can store wine without being easy to detect. "The marigold is made of nasturtium lotus leaves and rhizomes. It is actually hollow, and when the cup is full, it sneaks into the plate. People don't know it at the beginning, so they have the name of 'prodigy'. .”

3. When Tang Taizong conquered Liaodong, Tubo sent envoy Lu Dongzan to congratulate him. The tribute was a wine vessel in the shape of a goose. What's more, at this time, there were already glass products in the wine cups tribute from the Western Regions.

Wang Changling's poem, titled "Xiayue Huacalyx Building Banquet Response System", was dragged by me until autumn and winter. I'm really sorry, but the year can't be wrong. Yan Zhenqing is indeed a Jinshi this year, but it's a pity that he was the number one scholar. Li Ju has no follow-up deeds to verify.

Thanks to Yan Shu and MakoHaru for the nutrient solution, thank you, a branch of red apricot came out of the wall~
