Chang'an Youth Tour

When Dengshi saw the end, the night was fading, but Xiaoyan was still very energetic and insisted on taking him to a place.

It turned out to be a section of the old city wall. The city wall of Kyoto, except for the Xuanyuan Gate where Tai Zu came to rule Kyoto, remained, and the rest were demolished due to expansion.This section is an old city tower, which has now become a bell tower. Only the blue bricks at the foot of the tower can still see the traces of the original construction of Kyoto.

The door of the bell tower is locked, but Yan Junyu has his own way. A wall behind the old city tower has collapsed more than half, exposing the shelf that was built inside at the beginning. Only he who is lawless can do it with the current prince. come out.

But after climbing up, the field of view is really wide. The eaves of the old city building are very strong, and there are ridge beasts lying on it. The paint is black, so the snow is not deep.Yan Junyu rode up the cornice and showed him the layout of the inner city.

"That's my Marquis Mansion over there. You can tell that it's the Marquis Mansion when you see a lot of green trees. There are not so many trees in the suburbs, and they were all cut down by firewood sellers. Wei Ru also said that someone came to Xiaoyuanhou The family chops firewood and sells it. But his family is too poor, and there are mountains, maybe he asked his servants to cut it. My family also has a big garden, but unfortunately the lake is not a live spring, so I can't raise many fish." Yan Junyu Talkingly told him: "Over there is Fugui Street, also known as Fugui Street. It is the residence of Prime Minister Yong, and there are many official residences. That is Temple Street. How many temples are there? My grandma goes to worship Buddha every year. The prime minister there Vegetarian food is delicious."

"Where is that?" Xiao Jingyan suddenly pointed to a place and asked him.

"That's the place we came to just now, it's the Night Market Square, why don't you recognize it..."

"I recognize it, but I just didn't expect him to come."

"Who?" Yan Junyu took a serious look, and suddenly laughed: "Why is Rong Hao here? What is he holding in his hands, why are there so many? Hey, who is following behind him, it can't be the Prince of Xirong, right?" ..."

Speaking of which, Rong Hao really showed Helian what a real talent is today. Originally, he spent the holidays in his own mansion, but this Xi Rong barbarian didn't know why he was crazy, so he came here and asked Mr. Rong to take him to the night market.He was actually too lazy to go, but thinking that this guy could be regarded as dissuading Meng Cang and completely extinguishing the hope of Emperor Qingde getting married, so he had to sell his face.

Ordinary people only know that there are lanterns on the Lantern Festival, but they don’t know that lantern riddles are the most fun. Although Jiangnan also has them, it is a place full of poetry and books.Central Beijing is a place where hundreds of rivers converge, and there are all kinds of strange lantern riddles. When Rong Hao came to Beijing, he had a good time playing it.He has been well-read since he was a child, and he has a photographic memory. Back then, he and Ao Jiyu Yanran walked around the capital together, from the street to the end of the street, and the three of them were not enough to carry things for him.

This time, he also showed his skills in front of He Lian, solving lantern riddles all the way, from the Four Books to folk stories, and then back to the Southern Opera lantern riddles. Even the purses of the girls who also guessed lantern riddles were collected a lot.

In the end, when he stopped in front of a revolving lantern telling the story of the founding of the country to guess, he heard a familiar voice behind him laughing and saying, "Ha, so you won so many things, divide it between me and me."

As soon as he heard it, he knew it was Yan Junyu, that good-for-nothing guy. He turned around, and just about to laugh at him, his face turned pale from the fright of the people behind him.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince followed Yan Junyu to stand in the busy city, with no guards around him, and he was wearing a Confucian shirt, with a peaceful expression on his face.

"Dian..." He changed his words after uttering a single word, not so much because he was afraid of the crowds on the street, but because he was afraid of the evil star beside him.It is strange to say that Meng Cang has always entered the palace to congratulate him, but these two people have never met face to face.

In fact, he also knew that this barbarian from Xirong held grudges the most, but he couldn't remember it when he was in a hurry. He only cared about his duty as an accompanying student in the Eastern Palace, so he instinctively turned to the side, a little bit to draw a line.This action is really a bit unkind, especially when Helian's arms are still full of the things he won.

But Helian didn't seem to care much this time, just staring at the face of His Highness the Crown Prince with a half-smile.Rong Hao's heart was pounding, he was aware of this guy's lawlessness, although Meng Cang was arrogant, he also bowed down and bowed in a serious manner when he came to congratulate him, as for whether Sima Zhao had the heart, that's another matter.However, Helian seemed to have no idea who the person in front of him was, and his eyes were extremely presumptuous.Rong Hao had suffered from him, when they met each other in Tianxiang Tower, he couldn't express his temper at all.He Lian has a bit of a weird temper, usually it's okay for Rong Hao to deliberately bully him, but occasionally when he recognizes the truth, Rong Hao just feels like a rabbit being held down by a lion, his whole arrogance is suppressed.

But His Royal Highness is still powerful, Helian's eyes are as sharp as a knife, but he is as calm as water, allowing this foreigner to look at him unceremoniously, but his expression is calm, even with a point of view, as if he already knew everything.

If it wasn't for the fear that this guy Helian would take revenge, Rong Hao could hardly help but yell twice.

Helian laughed as if knowing what he was thinking.

His eyes were so presumptuous, but when he opened his mouth, he was as casual as an old friend for many years, and said: "I heard that Dazhou's teahouse is very good. I have been here for so long, and I haven't tried it yet."

He obviously said this to Xiao Jingyan, but as the prince's companion, Rong Hao was already used to being the guard outside the East Palace.How noble is the prince?He doesn't talk to people easily, but Yan Junyu can stay still, still staring at Helian's blond hair curiously, as if he has never seen the world.Just as Rong Hao was about to answer the conversation, he heard His Highness the Crown Prince said calmly: "The teahouse is opposite, Prince Helian, would you like to try it?"

"Then there will be Prince Lao." Helian also learned the etiquette of the Great Zhou, and replied decently.

He was obviously so calm, but Rong Hao always felt that this guy must have had a hunting smile in his heart long ago, and suddenly felt depressed, so he stomped on his heels twice when he went upstairs.

He said he was drinking tea, but Rong Hao also knew that His Royal Highness would not drink it, and he did not know how this little fool Yan Junyu got him out of the palace today.Anyway, with Yun Lan's behavior style, His Royal Highness, not to mention drinking tea outside, just picked up a cup of tea, probably a dozen people rushed out from behind the curtain to try to test the poison.

What's more, the tea leaves in this tea house are really bad. Ordinary people drink tea according to the season, and drink Longtuan Haze in winter to nourish yang energy.But the imperial physicians in the palace are even more particular about it. Before and after the winter festival, the palace drink Huawu Qingtuan instead, because they can’t get tired of eating, fine and delicate, and they want to take a little green tea to relieve food and relieve greasy.Moreover, the charcoal gas is heavy in winter, and green tea is the best for removing dryness and improving eyesight.

This tea house is known as the first one in Nancheng, which is imitated, and it is also Qingtuan tea.It's a pity that the tea leaves are really mediocre, Rong Hao first asked "Is there any sparrow tongue green?" and then asked "Slim hand tea is also fine", the shopkeeper shook his head repeatedly, and could only let him make a few cups casually.

Yan Junyu, the idiot, also asked: "What is sparrow tongue green, and what is slender hand tea?"

Master Rong didn't mean to show off, it's just that the private room is empty, the bookshelves couldn't be filled up, the windows were open, and it was snowing outside, making it even more deserted.But neither of them spoke, so he could only open his mouth to dispel the cold atmosphere, and replied: "Fortunately, you are still from the East Palace, and you don't even know about Qu Tong Qing. The most precious kind of Huawu tribute tea is called Qu Tong. Green, in fact, is the first wave of spring tea after the Chinese New Year. Spring in the south of the Yangtze River, at this time, the tea trees have already sprouted, and they are all small green buds, as small as a tongue, so they are called Qucus Green. Picked The green tea tree is almost useless this year, so it is the most precious. Slim Shou is Tianzunyan tribute tea. Tianzunyan has an indecent name and is steep and difficult to climb. Therefore, people in the south of the Yangtze River call it Xianshou tea, which means that only gods can pick it. Some people with good deeds far-fetched it, saying that it was a tea-picking woman with slender fingers, so it was called Slim Hand Tea, and people in the world were lustful, so it spread."

The Pingxi Palace has been in the south of the Yangtze River for a hundred years. In terms of this kind of habit of luxury and enjoyment, it is difficult for the princes and princes in the entire capital to compete with Rong Hao.Yan Junyu was stunned when he heard that, and just about to speak, he heard Helian from the side say: "Oh, Jiangnan is so good?"

Yan Junyu didn't hear anything yet, only noticed that Rong Hao's ears were a little red, and he still replied very majesticly: "Of course..."

"Prince Helian wants to see Jiangnan?" Xiao Jingyan suddenly answered.

"Don't dare." Helian answered quickly, and suddenly smiled with the corners of his lips curled up, and the room was filled with light like sunlight: "My favorite is of course Youyan Nineteen Prefectures."

The so-called Nineteen Prefectures of Youyan are the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that were lost in the previous dynasty and were taken back by Emperor Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty, together with the Yumen Pass guarded by the Marquis of Jingbei and the Suiye City guarded by the Yanbei Palace— In fact, Suiye has been lost for a long time, but it is Suiye, the ancestral home of Yanbei Wang Kuang's family, so when he was crowned king, he named the city as Suiye.If you do this calculation, it is only eighteen prefectures, but now Youzhou in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun is no longer ancient Youzhou. The real ancient Youzhou is not far from the west of today's capital city. My father went to see the collapsed ancient city wall.

So when Helian said this, even Yan Junyu understood. He was young, and he had few opponents in the Annan Army when he played war games. Juxu City is the best, I want to climb up to have fun!"

He didn't study hard at all, but he memorized all the allusions related to the war. He even thought of using Fenglang Juxu to go back to Helian, and it was worth telling him stories every day.Rong Hao wanted to laugh and scold Helian at the same time, just as he was about to speak, Helian also laughed and said: "Of course it's good if you can come to play, but fighting is not as simple as a game."

As soon as he said this, not only did Rong Hao's face change in embarrassment, but even His Royal Highness's eyes turned cold instantly.It was one thing for them to know that Xirong people had many spies in the capital, but it was another thing to hear it with their own ears.Although Yan Junyu likes to play war games with people, he only finds people to play with in the East Palace and the Annan Army. No matter which of these two places has Xirong spies, it is not a comfortable thing.

Rong Hao didn't know how to speak now, but fortunately he didn't need to speak anymore, because Xiao Jingyan said flatly: "Rong Hao, go outside and wait for me."

Rong Hao had no choice but to give Helian a hard look, the latter just had a very calm expression on his face, and was lazily drinking the tea that Rong Hao detested, and his hands were not idle, the gadget that won Rong Hao Code one by one on the table.His fingers were long and slender, and it could not be seen that it was the hand that held the knife all year round. He was pressing a calf sewed in rags with his index finger, crushing the head of the cow.

Rong Hao pulled Xiaoyan who didn't understand the situation, resisted the urge to slam the door and went out.

There were only the two of them left in the private room, the room was full of cold wind, the windows were wide open, it was already dark outside, the snowflakes were falling slowly, and even the hawking in the market could be heard.This seems to be just an ordinary night, just like it was just an ordinary night when the first emperor met the West Qin King, but the world made it far-fetched and made everything a myth.

The dazzling blond hair of the Xiluo people, the blue eyes of the Xirong people, his body is like a strong but beautiful leopard, so handsome to the point of coquettishness, it is indeed the aura that can scare Rong Hao so much that he will go back to the palace overnight.It's just that he is not like Xiao Jingyan, who wants to be His Royal Highness all the time, but he is good at making people a little bit paralyzed, forgetting how dangerous he is.

Rather than saying that he and Xiao Jingyan are like the sun and the moon competing for glory, it is better to say that one person is like a crazy wildfire, and the other is like a motionless mountain peak, and there is always a winner.

"I've heard a story." The Xirong man said with a smile: "It is said that on a grassland, there were two packs of wolves. One was a white pack of wolves, the other was a pack of black wolves. The wolves of the two packs The king's capital is getting old, the prey caught is decreasing day by day, and the wolves are hungry. There are two young wolves staring at them, but they can't do anything about it, because they can't resist the wolf king, so they thought of a way..."

This is a metaphor that even Xiaoyan can understand, but Xiao Jingyan didn't let him continue.

"The reason why human beings are different from animals is that we have propriety, righteousness, honesty and shame."

Helian couldn't help but laugh immediately.

"Etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame are actually just the rules set by wolves, telling you what you can't do. When everyone is domesticated into sheep, how much advantage will the wolf who doesn't follow the rules gain? Maybe the sheep will not be bitten until they are bitten. You don’t even know that the rules can be broken. How funny are you Han people? Every emperor who rebelled and raised his family will teach his people to be loyal to the king, as if he completely forgot how he got up. Lies have been passed down from generation to generation, so So many people, no one noticed how funny this joke is?"

If Xiaoyan was here, he would be amazed that Luo Heng's imperial art can be explained clearly with such a simple reason. The Xirong people even used a story to explain how Confucianism was controlled by the imperial art. Xuan Tongfu Confucianism, which is self-restraint, reverence, loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, is nothing but rules, and the emperor is a person above the rules.

But Xiaoyan must also be taken aback, because this person named Helian has the same perspective as Xiao Jingyan. They are all standing on the clouds, watching this big game of chess, a natural moat that ordinary people cannot overcome. It's as simple as a move in chess.

It is obviously not a good habit to let yourself think about the person you like at this moment.

But maybe it was because the lights in the night market were so beautiful that His Royal Highness didn't stop thinking about it for a while. Lao Ye Xiang said let nature take its course, but at this moment he was meeting the most powerful chess player he had encountered in more than 20 years, what was on his mind Yes, it turned out to be someone who is not in this private room.

Yan Junyu thought about it, but still couldn't figure out what Xiao Jingyan and that wolfish and ambitious Helian said in the private room.

He knew that Rong Hao must not have thought of it, otherwise his face would not be so ugly, and he forgot about the Confucian indecent words. He leaned on the door and listened. He didn't know whether he heard it or guessed the clue, and his face gradually turned cold. It became ice.

"What's the matter?" Yan Junyu asked Rong Hao with concern: "Did the Xirong people say they wanted to beat us Da Zhou? Don't worry, I've been practicing against Meng Cang for a long time, just let me watch him a few more times." When fighting a war, you must be able to think of a way to restrain him. I guess Helian is just scheming, and Meng Cang is the real tactical genius."

After all, Rong Hao has been upbringing for many years, and he always treats Yan Junyu as a child. Although his mind is in a mess, he still answers him: "Really?"

"Yeah, so we can find a way to separate them." After Yan Junyu finished speaking, afraid that he would feel the pressure, he quickly added: "It doesn't matter if they can't be separated, I will try my best to defeat Meng Cang, really ,do not worry."

His face of earnest promise is too soft-hearted, and his bright eyes make people want to rub his head, but Rong Hao held back.

"I will definitely separate them," he said.
