Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 588 Storytelling Behind the Screen

Song changed it to Jiankang Prefecture, Yuan changed it to Jiqing Road.

When Emperor Hongwu led his troops to drive away the Hu Yuan, the name of Yingtian Prefecture was changed naturally.

As the palaces and buildings in the city were completed, even the locals who lived here for generations had to admit that Yingtian Prefecture was becoming more and more like the capital.

A hundred miles along the city, forty miles through the city, thirteen inner city gates, eighteen outer city gates.

There are twenty or thirty streets, four or five hundred alleys, six or seven hundred restaurants scattered among them, and eight or nine hundred teahouses in the streets and alleys.

If you have some spare money to rent a small boat and go into the city along the Qinhuai River, you can see the endless painted boats and flutes and drums day and night, and the densely populated golden powder towers when the water is full.

If you wait until night and look at the hundreds of bright lanterns on the restaurants on both sides, the sad and gentle singing will become more and more touching. How can you say it is not a good place to go?

And today, the people of the city could see that the nobles were busy heading to the green-tiled and red-roofed palace.

The people drinking tea on the streets were the most informed. Seeing that someone didn't understand, they shouted:

"Today is the birthday of Grandpa Hongwu!"

The tea-drinking officials understood, and many of them were envious.

But the nobles who were envied were all uneasy, but they could only bite the bullet and pass through the Hongwu Gate, pass the Chengtian Gate through the outer Wulong Bridge, and the Yiluansi deployed guards here. Only after verifying the seals one by one can they enter the Wumen.

After a short rest, they crossed the inner Wulong Bridge and passed the Fengtian Gate, bypassed the Fengtian Hall and the Huagai Hall, and then arrived at the Jinshen Hall, the northernmost of the three halls.

The emperor is going to give a banquet here today. Those who are qualified to enter the palace silently entered the palace and took their seats under the gaze of the Yiluansi.

Seeing that more than half of the civil and military officials who were attending the banquet had arrived, a clever eunuch went out of the palace gate from the north and entered the rear court. After passing the Qianqing and Jiaotai Palaces, the Kunning Palace where the empress lived on a daily basis was in front of him.

The eunuch trotted over and heard the emperor's loud voice:

"... If you are not feeling well, take a good rest. Let's eat less when we eat with the officials. Come back later to eat together."

Then a soft voice slowly said:

"Today is Chongba's first birthday..."

So the eunuch immediately braked and took two steps back, trying to make himself hear nothing.

Fortunately, after waiting for a few breaths, he saw the emperor step out. The eunuch then hurried over to say that everything was ready in the Jinshen Palace, and only the emperor had to go there.

Nodding, the Ming emperor turned around and gave the eunuch an order:

"The imperial physician said that the queen just caught a cold. In that case, please send the screen that we like most in the Huagai Palace to the queen for her to use."

This was natural, so the empress Ma, who was still resting, saw a eunuch carrying a rather luxurious screen in while she was drowsy. After putting it together, they left one by one consciously. After all, the emperor had ordered the queen to rest today.

She was helpless wrapped in the quilt, but she was tired today, so she planned to take a nap for the time being and talk to the housekeeper when he came back.

But at this moment, she saw that the screen had a water-like luster on the side facing her. When it was smooth, the carved decorations on the screen could not be seen, only a light curtain with a faint glow, and a voice that sounded quite young:

[Hi, hi, hi! This is the illiterate UP host Wen Mang. Today, as we said before, let's talk about the second half of the romantic period of the two Song dynasties.

In the last issue, we talked about how Wanyan Gou, who was determined to live in peace, and the peace faction at that time worked together to murder Yue Wumu, which basically laid the main tone of the injustice of the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty.

But even so, people of lofty ideals still stood up and burned their years and sacrificed their lives for their ideals. These people became the real backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It also further highlighted the despicableness of people like Wanyan Gou. 】

Hallucination? Miracle? Immortal? Auspicious sign?

The exhausted Queen Ma felt that her body was a little stiff, and she wanted to call someone to find Chongba at the first time.

But thinking that the Tianshou Festival banquet in Jinshen Hall had probably begun at this time, and the emperor who was appeasing the ministers must be very busy, she hesitated immediately.

Otherwise... let's see what the storyteller in the light curtain said?

She was not unfamiliar with this, after all, telling history and discussing politics was also a business that existed in the Song Dynasty.

Thinking back to when she first entered Yingtian Prefecture, she had heard stories about the Tang and the Three Kingdoms twice in a restaurant. As for the Song Dynasty... Unfortunately, Yue Wumu had already talked about it. She had also visited the Anti-Jin Fortress in Yingtian Prefecture to pay tribute to this hero. Didn't she expect that she had just missed it?

At this moment, Empress Ma felt that her physical fatigue had eased a lot. She even wanted to ask the palace maids to bring a few fruit plates over, but thinking that there were too many people in the palace who couldn't control their mouths, she had to give up for the time being.

Listening to the ups and downs of the young storyteller, she also saw lines of small characters floating on the light screen, all of which were some words that she could not understand.

〖Personally, I think there were still a few emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty who were ambitious but powerless. The reason why they couldn't accomplish anything was more due to Sima Gou's inheritance of the Northern Song Dynasty's elimination of the essence and the retention of the dross, and the fact that Mongolia was indeed invincible later.

Whenever you think that the Southern Song Dynasty is lagging behind, open a book and look at the Southern Ming Dynasty. Oh, the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be okay.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao did a good job in reforming and prolonging the life of the Song Dynasty. Although he did not achieve anything great, at least he witnessed the demise of the Jin Dynasty. As for the history of the Southern Ming Dynasty... I really don't want to read it a second time. He is a fighter among the little losers.

The Southern Song Dynasty was indeed a standard separatist regime. The only way for the Southern Ming Dynasty to win was to go to the tropical rain forest and participate in the Monkey King Competition.

Don’t laugh at the second brother when comparing the bad. The Southern Song Dynasty was also the kind that could not be saved even if a pie dropped from the sky.

That is, the Southern Song Dynasty was still waiting for chopsticks, small bowls, green onions, ginger and garlic to fall from the sky. 〗

In the Ganlu Palace in Chang'an, Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin watched the light curtain rise again, and the voices of the younger generation sounded again, and he immediately sighed with satisfaction.

It is now the beginning of April in the sixth year of Zhenguan, and looking back from the fifth year of Zhenguan last year to the present, it is indeed as the light curtain said a long time ago, the country has been prosperous and there are no natural disasters.

Last year, Tuyuhun was destroyed, but the actual military operations were only four months in total.

More than 20,000 troops were sent out, and 120,000 cattle and sheep from Tuyuhun were obtained. Qinghai was able to set up a horse farm and a salt factory. No matter how you look at it, it is a pure profit.

As for the report of Li Shiqi and Liu Rengui crossing eastward from Dengzhou, the Tang Dynasty only provided the weapons and canned food needed by this naval division. The food, grass, vegetables and fruits were provided by Silla, Baekje and Japan, so there was no need to worry about it at home.

Another good news was the rice seeds sent back from Zhuya. The Sinong Temple was already arranging people to try planting them to see how effective they were.

As for Hou Junji's handwritten letter sent back with the rice seeds, Li Shimin also read it and made a decision.

Li Jing and his beloved apprentice Pei Xingjian had already gone to Yizhou Island to form a new naval division there.

Just wait for the sea route with Jiaozhou to destroy the rebellious Linyi Kingdom and promote Tang's martial virtues in Nanyang, which can also be regarded as cheering Hou Junji.
