He planted peonies in the Tang Dynasty

Su An's mind was in chaos, Lanqiu's dancing posture, the sound of gold and stone, the peony workshop with broken trees and broken walls, and the faces of the neighbors who came to support it when it opened, are still talking and laughing at this moment...

"Shaodong's family, twenty-five is quite clever, went to protect the cellar, otherwise they would see us, and we would not be able to say that we were also criminals who raised the price of grain. The most important thing is that the girls who sang the lyrics were taken away by the palace... ..."

Su An said: "They even beat you." Tea Lady covered her bloodshot face and sighed: "This time it's really ugly."

It was night, and the wind was cold.

After Gu Bo came from Yongchangfang, he was taken aback when he saw such a huge change, but he didn't hesitate for too long. First, he ordered people to go to the Municipal Office to issue a letter, and then to Zhaoyin Mansion to beat drums to appeal for grievances. Move the broken wood away, disperse the crowd, let the able-bodied twenty-five and others stay in the cellar, and then arrange for everyone to settle in Su Shiba.

After returning to the familiar Su Shiba, Su An curled up by the old window of the small building, and confessed that he burned his broken four strings as firewood. Although he felt guilty, he felt that he had done nothing wrong, so he could only start Ling sent a letter to Gu Yue.

He Lian was reluctant to burn Sixian, he had a deeper affection for Sixian than Su An, so he secretly hid the one that Su An wanted to burn, and ordered some cups of ginger tea, and brought it to Su An An drink.

There was constant noise from downstairs, besides the endless tears from the tea lady and the neighbors, there were more than a dozen families from the Poetry Club who heard about this incident and chased here to provide Su An with shelter. It is said that among them, Zhang Luoshu cried bitterly All swollen.

At this time, the door opened with a creak, Uncle Gu walked in, took off his bamboo hat, and said, "Young master, don't be afraid." Su An sat up and said, "Uncle Gu, what should we do, first tell what Gu Lang left, and I Let's decide."

Uncle Gu glanced at He Lian.Su An said: "He's one of us." He Lian held the hot ginger tea in his hand and breathed in silence.Uncle Gu waited for a while, and seeing that Su An was serious, he sat down on the floor and said, "Everyone is in Chang'an, and if they hadn't been forced into a hurry, no one would be ashamed. They smashed buildings and beat people today, which shows that they have a guilty conscience."

Su An said: "From what I've seen, King Chen and King Xin are young and vigorous, and they must be used as shields by relatives and officials." Gu Bo nodded: "So, the key is to find the person behind the shield, pull Come out and attack each one."

"Officially, there is the Zhaoyin Mansion sitting in town. We will definitely use this as an opportunity to strictly investigate Song Hou. We don't need to intervene in these things. The most important thing right now is to cooperate with Gu Lang and get the merchants who worked hard for the Song family to stay warm. break up."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Gu took out a book: "Young master, this is what I found, the list of merchants in Anfenghui whose ancestral home is Songzhou, come..." He Lian looked at the list and recognized a master Qian , Said, Master Qian is in the lacquered wood business, and has contacts with Liuxiantang in purchasing raw materials, so maybe we can communicate.Gu Bo said: "Yes."

Su An swallowed a sip of tea, it was hard to imagine how many people's bedding had been stuffed with crucian carp spines by this old man with wrinkles and a simple and honest smile.Uncle Gu turned back to He Lian, raised his head and said, "Shaodong's family, is this okay?"

Su An said: "Follow the expediency, all business affairs are left to Uncle Gu, thank you very much, never give up in difficult times."

A moth gets entangled in a spider web unintentionally, and the more it flaps its wings to break free, the easier it is to attract the spider's attention, thus speeding up its fate of extinction. If it really wants to live, it can only wait for the spider catcher to come.

The truth is this truth.

Of course, Su An is no longer a white and innocent moth, let alone a spider web entangled unintentionally. After waking up from the lyrics, he is a gorgeous butterfly that has broken its cocoon, destined to dance in the wind and linger in the garden. fragrance.

He not only thanked Uncle Gu for his hustle and bustle, but also thanked Zhao Yin for his insight. He himself still had tears to shed and something to say.

In the evening of the next day, all the offices of the imperial city released the yamen.Su An and He Lian visited the Xu Mansion together, and people moved the plaque of Kaihua Xingbang into the Guiyuan Garden where drinking water thinks about the source.Xu Qing hid for a long time, but felt disturbed by the sound of the flute, and finally saw someone.

Deep in love, Su An's eyes turned red, and two lines of tears came down: "When Peony Square opened, who would remember the 'Kaiyuan 20 Years County Rites Kaihua Xingbang'? What Su remembered was nothing more than Li Shilang and Xu Outside the members, one writes an inscription, one plays the flute, and stays for the bosom friend until the end. Su doesn’t care too much about it, but Li Shilang’s kindness cannot be neglected.”

Xu Qing sighed and said: "Chen Wangfu's doing such unreasonable things really embarrass Li Shilang, but even so, Su Gongfeng can still take care of the overall situation, instead of chasing Li Shilang, he came to Xu first, it is really a matter of opinion .”

Su An replied: "Of course Su knows that it is the lyrics and music he wrote that caused the disaster. Apart from the Zhaoyin Mansion, how else would he dare to draw the fire outside? But please tell Li Shilang, Su will definitely do his best to earn money for the servant. Return face."

After making this oath, Su An went to the palace, found the female officer Xingsheng through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and went to plead guilty to Concubine Hui.

The crime lies in not cultivating music skills, not presenting repertoire, but using demonic words to confuse the people among the people, ashamed of the trust and appreciation of the empress.

When Concubine Wu Hui heard this story, she was beating drums and spreading flowers with several powerful eunuchs.Su An knelt down on the ground, with his palms sticking to the cold floor tiles: "Your Majesty knows, to save money, the palace has been depressed for a while, and the servants were lonely when they were in Xiumu, so they dared to sing a few wild words in Pingkang , it was the two Highnesses who understood the general situation, taught, and taught the servants a lesson."

Concubine Hui listened with a smile, decided to stop posting: "Yesterday's discussion on "Li Langzi" also said that it is empty and easy to come by. Someone must be calling for grievances. In fact, Su Gongfeng didn't do anything harmful. But at this time, the stability of the family and the country should be the most important thing, no matter whether it is the former dynasty or the harem, there should be no more disputes and displeasure of the Supreme Being."

Su An said: "Your Majesty taught me the lesson." Concubine Hui smiled and said, "Su Gongfeng, you still have to think about what kind of grievance can be greater than the sky?" Su An wiped his sweat and replied: "My servant... ... I will not sing "Li Langzi" from now on."

After leaving the palace, Su An met Li Linfu by chance.Li Linfu didn't speak to him, and went straight into the hall.Su An turned around, and in a moment of thought, Li Linfu's delicate clothes and Concubine Hui's red dress complement each other so beautifully when they are in the same room.

On this night, Concubine Wu Hui punished Chen Wang's biological mother, Song's acting son, Li Kui, on the grounds that the ten princes' mansion was in great demand during the famine, and punished Li Kui with a staff of fifty. Fang Songhou Mansion.

It is said that in the mansion of the Ten Kings Li Kui cried heart-piercingly for three days and three nights before finally releasing those female musicians.

The music returned safely, but the Peony Square is still in a mess and has not been rebuilt, as if it was deliberately left there to bask in the sun.

Su An couldn't find his broken four strings, so he squatted in front of the cellar, and threw the tattered clothes he wore when he was in Lanyin Hall into the brazier.The flames in the basin were like the enthusiasm at the end of Brahman, red and black ashes drifted in front of his eyes, and Li Yu's immature and thin face... He Lian accompanied him, smiled, and burned the black gauze hat as well.

At the same time, the Zhaoyin Mansion began to investigate the Mudanfang incident while dealing with many cases reported by Songzhou. Su An heard that Pei Yaoqing's most powerful move was to take many people like Shi Yao Chenfu, the head of the Chen Palace, directly Detained in the government prison, no one will respond to the begging of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, and the Ministry of War.

With the power of Jingzhao, Ding Xiao and Han Erge handled affairs, and used many people like Gu Yue and Zhang Zhongchen, bit by bit, state by state, to dismantle the local government agencies that had been gathered together due to natural disasters, and to clear the customs middle.

On that day, Uncle Gu lowered his bamboo hat and sat opposite the gate of Guangdefang, waiting.There were many people coming and going from Zhaoyin's mansion, trying to take Yao Chenfu away, but the person Uncle Gu was looking for did not belong to the official family, but an outsider.

Speaking of which, the reason why Anfenghui was able to gather the rich merchants in the entire Guanzhong was nothing more than the protection of Lu, Yao, and Feng. A Lu Changsheng.

Lu Changsheng is in charge of the Changping Courtyard, which is the last pass for grain prices to recover, and also the last sandbag to block the private warehouses in Songzhou. Once it is removed, all the stored grain will pour out like a flood until the Guanzhong is flushed. .

"Master Qian." Uncle Gu woke up from his imagination, and stopped a businessman in a square hat who was trying to bribe the government officials with money to visit Yao Changshi, "Master He, Liuxiantang, Dongshi City, introduced me to talk to you. pile of business."

Master Qian is a great merchant who transports lacquered wood between Chang'an and Songzhou, and is a very important figure in Anfenghui.Uncle Gu chose Master Qian because he heard that he had a relationship with the He family in purchasing raw materials, and secondly, because he claimed to be a veteran who had always had the ambition to abandon business and enter an official career. In this way, he had bargaining chips.

Master Qian frowned, "This is Yao Changshi..." Gu Bo said, "Prince Chen's mansion has been closed for a long time, can Yao Changshi still hope?" Nailed in place.

Gu Bo not only promised that Gu Yue would give him an official position in the Lihuiyuan, he was also willing to provide protection, support Master Qian to become the head of the Songzhou Chamber of Commerce, and he would no longer be subject to the Anfeng Association, so he could tell the officials who oppressed them come out.

Faced with such a temptation, Master Qian thought for a while. Although Su Shiba did not sell tea, he had an extremely solid reputation in doing such things. In the end, he agreed to cooperate, but he refused to explain to the officials behind it. .

Gu Bo still agreed.He knows that good things are hard to come by, as long as this hole is cut from the inside of Anfenghui, then in the future, the situation of mutual suspicion will inevitably appear with the investigation of Zhaoyin Mansion. The mouth that opens will also be opened by the slightest suspicion in the heart.

Soon, the merchants in Songzhou split into two factions, one still followed Anfenghui, the other followed Master Qian, and for Uncle Gu, the festivities of the New Year in the neighborhood, which were increasing day by day, became dangerous. warning.

This is a major event involving the replacement of interests, life and death, there can be no hypocritical peace talks.An Fenghui hired bandits from the rivers and lakes, and Gu Bo and Su Shiba's buddies also lived a life of being close to each other.

Gu Bo never told Gu Yue and Su An that Wang Tingfu's wife and son died at the hands of the Lu family when the city tax was changed back then, but the grievances and grievances in the market would only become more and more turbid. Bury yourself.

So, as the new year was approaching, what Su An and He Lian saw in Su Shibali was that the wound on Cha Niang's face was gradually scabbing, and the old shop had replaced it with a brand new peach charm. Also do not make a fuss.

People in Chang'an City who liked Su Mo's acquaintances didn't care whether the Nanyin was authentic or not, and they didn't pay attention to who pushed them to the forefront. They still fought against them and came to give gifts and visit them every day, asking them to play music.

Su An was originally extremely tired, too lazy to move around, and was bored in the room to replay the Brahman song he had heard and never forget with He Lian, but when he opened the window one day, he saw two painted puppets hanging on strings people.

The puppet is dressed in colorful battle armor, with a majestic face and a mighty posture. One holds a golden sword and the other holds a green halberd, floating in the air, accompanied by the girl's deep singing voice: "There are mountains in the East Sea... "

Looking along the strings, it was Luo Shu in a pale pink narcissus dress.Su An smiled, reached out and took one out.

Shentu and Yulei, two door gods, he naturally recognized them. According to legend, there lived a big peach tree with three thousand miles of branches on Dushuo Mountain. Under the peach lived two brothers. If ghosts come to steal peaches at night and cause harm to the world, Shen Tu and Yu Lei will catch them, tie them up with peach wood strips, and send them to the tiger.

As we all know, official households use Zhong Kui's gate god to guard their houses, while ordinary common people's houses still use Shen Tu and Yu Lei today.

"Su Gongfeng, everyone said that the popular French songs in the palace have libretto, but we can't always sing this 'Hai' well." Luo Shu spent these days guarding Su Shiba downstairs, crying to the end, with great difficulty After catching someone, there was a wave of surprise in his eyes, "Today, I bet with a few sisters that I will invite you to teach music in a private house. You can't let me lose face."

It was only then that Su An remembered that since the opening of Mudanfang, this daughter of the Zhang family has never missed any of her performances. After the accident in Mudanfang, it was also this lively lady who wet seven or eight handkerchiefs .

She gave her a pair of phoenix-tailed butterfly masks, and she used her delicate little hands to hold a carving knife and carve out such an exquisite door god statue out of peach wood, just to make him feel better and let him go out for a walk visit.

While agreeing, they came to a private house in the eastern suburbs. The house was full of red plum blossoms, and there were puppet door gods hanging on every branch.Su An and He Lian were a little confused.Luo Shu smiled and pulled them along, and introduced them one by one.

This is the servant girl, Han Yanyan, that is Zhongcheng's little lady, Shen Shu, and next to her is...

Only then did Su An know that in Chang'an, there were such a group of noble ladies and young girls who admired him. They were obviously not inferior to men in their learning, but they were willing to praise him as someone who won power with broken four-string singing.

Like today, it is even more exciting to invite him to a private garden to teach and play games face to face.

After discussing with the ladies, they decided to play Tiangong Ci, that is, let He Lian do the rectification, first everyone sings a sentence, let Su An identify the voice, then cover his eyes, and ask him to point out when he calls to stop. Sentence singing.

This kind of trick often makes the woman's face turn red and her breath becomes weak when she sings, and the masked man's palms are sweaty from fright.

Su An didn't find it difficult, because he could accurately recognize people and teach them in accordance with their aptitude no matter whether they were blindfolded or not.

Once, Luo Shu blinked at He Lian, and finally seized the opportunity to sing the line: "There are mountains in the East China Sea."

Su An replied: "Miss Luoshu, singing the word 'hai' is very particular. You can't think about the rough sea, you have to think about the vastness and tranquility of the sea. Put the word 'hai' in rhyme and sing it as 'ai' , the breath hits the ground."

Shen Shu said with a smile: "Then how do you sing the Eastern characters, how do you sing the Chinese characters, and what about the characters?" Su An: "Uh." Han Yanyan was immediately unconvinced, and she threw away the rules and said coquettishly: "My name, How to sing?" Su An: "..."

The scene was a bit cryptic at the time, Su An didn't know that his quiet appearance with white face covered with red silk, in the eyes of others, neither dared to use gold and silver to blaspheme, nor could it be piled up with praise, it was so cute that people wanted to grit their teeth.

Suddenly, you were pushing me, and a long-lost voice came through the chaos: "Su Gongfeng."

Su An's ears twitched: "Girl Pinming..." It turns out that this is the private house where Zhang Pinming begged from his family to practice Taoism. The puppet door god on the plum tree was also sculpted by Zhang Luoshu and her.

Pinming was wearing a pure white feather skirt and an agate hairpin. Standing under the plum tree, her complexion was pale but peaceful.

As soon as she arrived, the women in fancy clothes put away their presumptuous attitude, got up and saluted, thanked Luo Shu, Su An and He Lian, and left one after another.Su An quickly untied the red silk and bowed.

Drink tea and invite them into the study to have tea.As soon as Su An took off his boots, he saw Gu Yue's famous work - "Wild Duck Playing in Water" hung on the screen in the middle.Pinming smiled: "Su Gongfeng, Pei Lang and Gu Lang must have had a hard time in Songzhou these days. Both the capital and the middle of the country are not peaceful, let alone the rural areas?" Luo Shu bit his lip, curious.

Su An sat down and said: "Yes, each prefecture has its own situation, like Shaozhou, where rains and floods are common, and when there are locust plagues, the villagers who have been abused by the government will carry hoes to make trouble, but the two girls live in the prefectural capital, presumably never seen it."

Pinming signaled the maid to pick up the things, and said to Su An: "I admire Su's courage to sing for the refugees. Gu Lang went to the place to clear up the people's situation without hesitation. , Pinming frowned, took out a silk handkerchief to cover his mouth, and coughed a few times.Luo Shu hurriedly passed the water, and took care of him: "Sister."

Su An was taken aback.The plain white veil was stained with crimson blood clots.At this time, the servant woman came with a few words about drinking tea and spread them in front of the desk.Drinking tea did not avoid Su An, but calmly followed his own breath.

A year ago, Pinming suffered from a cough and didn't know how long it lasted.Since she was careful and thoughtful, she hated not being able to go to the flower banquet to find a new look, so she came here early to retreat, and only let two people see her, one was Luo Shu and the other was Pei Yan.

Pinming and Pei Yan, childhood sweethearts, have always been sober, so that people say that the Pei family's Saburo and the Zhang family's three daughters are well-matched, but it's a pity that both of them are fickle masters. For many years, only Luo Shu knows what it's like.

Su An waited patiently for Pinming's breath to improve, and then asked: "I don't know what I can do for the girl?" Pinming said with a smile: "Actually, these are the feelings of my father, I hope Su Gongfu can talk to the world more ,Enough."

What Zhang Pinming writes is not landscapes, but fields.She came from Shaozhou, was deeply influenced by her father's political views, and experienced many changes in her family, so she was more knowledgeable than ordinary girls—what she wrote was not love, but reason.

After the current floods, there will be droughts in the Ming Dynasty. To ensure long-term peace and stability in Guanzhong, we must start from the root cause.The Tuntian Law stipulates that county households should control mergers and acquisitions in the form of laws, and the three provinces should be reduced to improve efficiency by streamlining the official system. Responsibilities to improve shipbuilding technology.

At that time, what the Zhang family advocated was the development of farmland and the reform of the official system, and what the Pei family advocated was the construction of canal roads and the adjustment of freight charges.

Su Andao: "But everyone in the court knows that Xiao and Han are two elders, one focuses on frontier military defense, and the other focuses on employing people in accordance with the law. If they disagree, and the princes in Guanzhong obstruct it, this matter will be very difficult. Bar."

Pinming smiled: "You don't talk bad words in the private house, and no one can compare with Su Gongfeng when it comes to composing songs that the Supreme One loves to listen to. However, in terms of guessing the mind of the Supreme Being, although Su Fengfeng is close to the emperor, he is still not as good as Gu Lang. .”

Su An said: "What?" Pinming smiled and said: "Gu Lang gave you a mandarin duck, and I ask Su to take a look at it when he leaves."

After hearing this, Su An ignorantly put away Pinming's painstaking efforts. Although she still didn't understand the meaning of the words, she felt a magnificent affection that she had never seen before—perhaps, the relationship between Pinming and Pei Yan was never a flower, but is rock

He hoped that drinking tea would make him recover.

At that time, at dusk, Luo Shu sent Su An and He Lian to the car, his face flushed.Su An rolled up the curtain and said goodbye.

After returning from the Plum Garden in the eastern suburbs, when Su An was thinking about the Brahman again, he felt that the five strings in his arms were different from before.He listened to the news from Chang'an and Songzhou alternately, and his heart became solid and stable.

At the end of the year, the situation is surging.Jingzhao filed a case, Chen Wangfu's chief Shi Yaochenfu abused his power, damaged people's property, and detained him for investigation; the Songzhou mission went to impeach, Sima Song Chengqi took advantage of the danger of natural disasters, and embezzled [-]% of the household relief food;

Li Longji blamed Zhongshu's subordinates and ordered a strict investigation. Immediately afterwards, the Songzhou Mission reported to Song Chengqi's account book, and Jing Zhao followed the vine to find out that Song Hou had colluded with the Guanzhong Anfeng Chamber of Commerce to store 30 shi of grain and force people to sell [-] hectares of land. ;

After further investigation, the businessman Qian brought evidence to appeal, and reported that the leader of the Anfenghui was actually Lu Changsheng, the official of Yantie Changping Court; arrested Lu Changsheng, and confessed to six princes, including Shi Yaochenfu, the head of the Chen Palace, and Shi Anshi, the head of the Xinwang Palace. Is an official.

After further investigation, the Zhaoyin Mansion reported that the Wang Mansion embezzled the people's land accounting for three or two of them, and pointed the finger at Li Mian and Li Min; to the Imperial Palace;

Li Longji's two sons, Xiao Qiaofu and Han Xiutong, were dismissed at the same time; Song Chengqi, the Sima of Songzhou, was exiled in Hainan; Lu Changsheng, a political and businessman in Changpingyuan, died of nine clans; Shi Yaochenfu, the chief of the royal family, was sentenced to death; At that time, Zhang Jiuling was called to be the order of Zhongshu, and Pei Yaoqing was to be the servant of the sect. Both of them led the same affairs and entered the Yizheng hall.

All this happened only half a year after the Khitan was settled in the east. On New Year's Eve, in order to reduce the royal family's expenses and support Pei Yaoqing and Zhang Jiuling in governing Guanzhong, Li Longji visited Luoyang eastward, leaving Chang'an to lick his wounds during the New Year celebrations.

When the spring breeze came again, Su An also finished his training and re-entered the palace without a lord to play music routinely. It was not until February that his heart fluctuated again-the Tuntian Mission in charge of investigating the case was about to return to the court, and it was about to Arrived in Beijing

Gu Yue, who broke the rules and moved to the doctor of the fifth-rank household department, was supposed to go to the Ministry of Officials to take the merit test in advance, but because he was assassinated and injured in Songzhou a year ago, and fell ill again a year later, in order to recuperate his health, he asked for an extension. half moon.

When Su An received these late letters, she realized that although the two of them had been separated for only two months, it seemed that 20 years had passed. He met in the south of Guanzhong and arrived in Beijing together, so that Su An temporarily put down his thoughts on rebuilding Mudanfang, and first prepared the etiquette and resettled his family.

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

"Zizhi Tongjian" Xuanzong was above the Daoist Daoist Daming Emperor Xiao, in the 21st year of Kaiyuan: Han Xiushu and Xiao Song argued with each other, and they were not happy about Song's short face.Because of begging for bones, Song said: "I have never hated you, why did you go away so suddenly!" He said to him: "I have been kind enough to treat the prime minister for crimes. I am extremely rich, and my majesty has not hated my ministers, so I have to calmly lead them away. ;The king is tired of his ministers, and if the ministers and leaders are not protected, they will be able to do it themselves!" Because weeping.The superior was moved by it, and said: "You come back, I think about it." Ding Si, Song Ba was the Prime Minister of Zuo, and Huo Ba was the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.With Jingzhaoyin Pei Yaoqing as the servant of Huangmen, Zhang Jiuling, the servant of Zhongshu, came back and made peace with Zhang.

"Old Tang Book·Xiao Song Biography": In February 21, Pei Guangting, the servant, died.Guangting and Song had been in the same number of years, and their relationship was quite inconsistent. Therefore, Xuanzong sent Song to choose a prime minister, and Song took the elder Han Xiu, the right prime minister, to choose him.When Hugh entered the prime minister, Song raised things, Hugh was steep and straight, and he didn't lie to each other, discussing the straight and the right with Xuanzong.Because of giving way.Song Hou, a family member of Xuanzong, was appointed by Xu Song as the Minister of the Right Prime Minister, who was ordered to dismiss him and take Xiu as the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"Old Tang Book·Zhang Jiuling's Biography": "When Jiuling was in phase, he suggested reinstalling ten interview envoys, and taught several prefectures in Henan Province to plant rice to widen the fields. It was a waste of effort and no benefit to discuss setting up fields. Let it go. The nature is quite irritable, and it is easy to get angry, so it is rare for those who discuss it."

According to my understanding, this means that Xiao Song recommended Han Xiu at that time to check and balance the friendship between Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing. Unity, coupled with Xiao Song's selfishness, they could not effectively solve the problem when dealing with the land annexation in Guanzhong, Li Longji dismissed both of them in a fit of anger, and it was also a means for the emperor to check and balance the officials and princes.

Alas, Li Longji.

O(∩_∩)O Well, the next thing is that the parents are short-sighted. After all, the emperor is not in Chang'an, and the seven aunts and eight aunts come here to seek refuge. shameful thing.
