Chapter 76: The Eastern Capital, Luoyang, the first time I met my parents
Chapter 76: The Eastern Capital Luoyang, First Meeting Parents
There were many guards, hundreds of people guarding Li Wei's safety.
In fact, even without these guards, they would be peaceful. Now it is not at the point where officials force the people to rebel. Occasionally, some bad things happen, and they are desperate and can eat a bite of food. Everyone knows that after this disaster year, there is still a way out.
The prince is Prince Ren, and those bold people will never attack.
At the beginning, the situation was very bad. The capital city did not realize it, and the ditches in the suburbs were very developed. Although it was serious, it was not shocking. But the further you walked, many places looked terrible. Some fields had cracks because it had not rained for a long time.
But after passing Huazhou, the situation gradually improved.
You can see that many barley and wheat in the fields gradually become half green and half yellow, just like the poem written by Li Xin: In April, the barley is yellow in the south wind, and the jujube flowers have not fallen and the tung leaves have grown.
The prices of grain are also different. They are just separated by the Wei River. The food prices in Chang'an are gradually approaching 60 cents per bull, but the eastern capital Luoyang is only 30 cents. The gap is more than these, one is a big block and the other is a small block.
It was not until this time that Li Wei asked the car driver to slow down a little.
It was very fast at the beginning, but in fact, the car drivers needed something to be honored. For example, Li Zhi and Wu Zetian were even slower. It was only 800 miles from Chang'an to Luoyang, and it would take nearly twenty days to get fast. If it slowed down, it would be a month. There was nothing wrong, but at this time, eating along the road undoubtedly brought pressure to the local area.
So Li Wei urged all the way. He actually left Yongzhou, Huazhou and Guozhou in six days and arrived in Shaanxi. That's it, and he didn't slow down much. After four days, he arrived in Luoyang.
The car drove into Dingding Gate, and the street from Dingding Gate to Tianjin Bridge was the busiest street in Luoyang.
The original prince has also been to Luoyang, but this time, many things happened in Chang'an, and some people stopped to watch. The prince is still a good prince. He was wronged a few days ago. Besides, the nobles in Luoyang were using the prince plow in the suburbs of Luoyang. The nobles in Luoyang City didn't understand much, but the farmers raised their thumbs and praised them. After the car drove, there were some sighs.
In the largest carriage in the middle, Li Lingyue was a little impatient when she watched Shangguan Wan'er study and her eldest brother study.
I was fooled again this time. Because I was in a hurry to travel, I ate a lot of dust along the way, but I never touched the fun. However, the officials who greeted each other flattered me and saw a lot of flattery, but I wouldn’t you see more in Chang'an!
She said, "Shangguan Wan'er, can you understand "Shangshu" now?"
Shangguan Wan'er put down the book and said, "I can't understand it, think about it slowly, read it a few times, and you will always understand it."
"I'm thinking about it slowly," Li Wei touched her head lovingly. Who would hold such a little loli in his hand? Although it's not his sister or daughter, I would like to ask who doesn't like it!
In fact, Li Lingyue was not malicious about Shangguan Wan'er. Because she was not very old, she only asked her to play along the way. Not only did she play, she also dragged her directly to Li Wei's carriage, which was not very etiquette. But what etiquette should she talk about when Li Lingyue? The prime minister of Chang'an gave her three points, and the entourage staff in this line of work.
But I can't stand Li Wei's favor for Shangguan Wan'er.
He tilted his head, grabbed Shangguan Wan'er's book, pointed to a passage in the middle, and asked, "How do you pronounce this line of words?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked at the line and read: "All people will offend themselves, attack the traitors, and kill the Yue people in the goods, and they will be disgusted."
The reason why I refer to this line is because she doesn't know a "公" or a "公".
After listening, he turned his head and looked at Li Wei. Li Wei nodded and said, "I read it right."
He asked unconvincedly: "So what does it mean?"
Shangguan Wan'er tilted her head and thought for a while. "Shangshu" is still very difficult to read for her age. Finally, she said: "Whenever the people commit crimes themselves, all kinds of robbers, kill people, and rob property, these people should be executed."
"Brother, she was not wrong?"
“There is not far apart.”
"Okay, even if you are right, you can't compare to my elder brother. Cao Zhi wrote poems in seven steps. My elder brother was at the gate of Dongshifang. Before he could leave, he wrote five poems. Can you do it in the future?"
Bier couldn't help it anymore and started giggling.
Li Wei wiped his sweat and said, "Little sister, don't say anything randomly in the future. This is what I wrote after thinking about in the East Palace for a long time. That has Cao Zhi's talent."
If he didn't copy the poem he wrote down in his mind and let him walk seventy steps, he wouldn't be able to write a decent poem.
But Shangguan Wan'er said seriously: "Princess, even if I study, I will not be as good as Your Highness. Even if the princess is as big as me, she will not be as good as your princess."
"You are flattering," Li Lingyue was not easy to deceive. She asked her to study for another year, but she could not learn Shangguan Wan'er's skills, but the following sentence was ultimately unspeakable because of her self-esteem.
Li Wei was a little happy. These two people were a pair of little enemies. Although Shangguan Wan'er should be fine when entering Luoyang, her mother's heart was hard to guess. With Li Lingyue in the middle, Shangguan Wan'er would be safer than Mount Tai.
The carriage squeaked and arrived at Tianjin Bridge. Li Lingyue pointed at Huitong Bridge curiously and said, "Brother, look at so many boats!"
The drought is inside the pass. Luoyang has not suffered much drought, and Luoshui shipping has not encountered any trouble. At this time, thousands of boats gathered in Huitong Bridge, which is quite spectacular. However, there are even larger ships parked at the pier beside the Yellow River, but they cannot be seen.
Seeing countless people unloading goods, because they were not real and were not seen clearly, it was even more shocking.
"The Tang Dynasty is like a dream," Li Wei looked at somewhere, then looked at the layers of towers in the distance, and murmured, but without his mother, then...
But this is something that cannot be escaped, so it is about to face it.
Li Lingyue shifted her gaze again and said, "Brother, look, that pair of white birds are so big."
It is a sandbank under the Tianjin Bridge. The sandbank is covered with trees and flowers, but there are many lush green reeds growing on the edge. It is probably because the car driver alarmed a pair of egrets in the reeds and flew out of the green reeds, and a beautiful figure shining on the Luoshui.
The eunuch had already come out and took them to the East Palace.
Not only did the prince come to Luoyang before, Bi'er also came. When he was far away, the eunuch said to Bi'er: "Young lady Gongxijiang is here."
The emperor issued an order, and specially announced that she had arrived in Dongdu, and the little girl had made a fortune. Even Bier dared not call her.
"I dare not be a Jin eunuch, I have always been good."
"I have always been safe for my wife Jiang," she said, and came to Li Wei to salute him, and then said, "Your Highness, I miss you very much."
Li Wei's eyes were confused and he didn't know him at all.
Bier said in his ear: "Your Highness, Jin Eunuch, can't you remember it?"
Li Wei shook his head.
"Your Highness, every time you go to Dongdu, the Jin eunuch serves you and treats you very well."
This is very good and not easy. In the past, the prince kept coughing, and the fear of tuberculosis in this era, most people are indeed discouraged and dare not get close to each other.
But there was a bit of worry in my eyes.
Li Wei understood what she meant, touched her head, and said, "I forgot something, and I will remember it slowly. There is no hurry."
Actually, I said in my heart that it would be better to forget. If I remember, it was because the prince came back to "take the body" and that would be unsightly. If he came back, he might not appreciate it.
He took a step and said amiablely: "I am worried about it when I have worked hard."
"I dare, I heard that Your Highness is in Xijing day by day. I don't know how happy I am. I burn incense every day and ask the Bodhisattva to appear. This time, the Bodhisattva really appears. Seeing the prince's complexion, I don't know how happy I am," as he said, crying with tears in his nose.
Whether it is really crying or fake crying, I am afraid I was not bad for Prince Yuan in the past.
"Eunuch Jiang, just wait and say it. The prince is in a hurry all the way and he is going to rest."
"I deserve to die. I saw Your Highness look good and forgot," he said, and ordered someone to carry Li Wei's luggage. Some of them were not needed at all, but it was a ceremonial guard that could not be rejected in this era.
Introduced the bedroom.
Compared with the Eastern Palace of Daxing Palace, the Eastern Palace of Luoyang is slightly smaller, but not much smaller.
Li Lingyue said happily: "Brother, I'll live here."
"This is not possible," Li Wei immediately refused. The prince had a place where the prince lived, and the prince and the prince had another place where they lived. This was unscrupulous and far away. The Eastern Palace was on the east side of the palace city, while the princess and the prince's bedroom was on the northwest side of the palace city.
As he was speaking, an eunuch came over to promulgate: "Here is the prince and the princess, and the palace maid Jiang Bier meets the two priests in Wucheng Hall."
So fast.
Walking towards the palace city, Jiang Bier said tremblingly: "Your Highness, I am so scared."
"Don't be afraid, the father and mother like you, so you can see them in Dongdu." Li Wei comforted.
In fact, he was also a little scared. He had a little time to come to the Tang Dynasty, and he knew more and more. He met Li Zhi and Wu Zetian for the first time, and not in the study and bedroom hall, but in the Wucheng Hall! Wucheng Hall was where the emperor always paid tribute.
Why did they meet themselves in Wucheng Palace? Seeing that Wucheng Palace was about to arrive, Li Wei thought uneasy.
And to be honest, he is a fake prince. I wonder if he can detect it as a biological father and mother? Especially this mother, he is a monster...
