The first year of Xianqing (656 AD), the third day of the third month, Shangsi Festival, Valentine's Day, and a feasting festival.

The so-called Shangsi Festival is one of the three major festivals of the Tang Dynasty. Before Cao Wei, it was the first Si day of March, and then it was set as the third day of the third month. The traditional festival of the ancients was that in the distant ancient times, women bathed in a group by the river and then lay on the river, and the scene was even better than the grand banquet of the sea and sky.

Shangsi of the Tang Dynasty was very harmonious, mainly for spring outings and banquets by the water. Spring is also the season of estrus. Boys and girls are dressed up and looking for him (her) in their destiny. Du Fu's "Beautiful People" describes this: On March 3rd, the weather is new, and there are many beautiful people by the water of Chang'an.

On this day, Li Jiuhui invited all civil and military officials in Qujiangchi. Wu Kang followed the boss and took Wuzhou officials outings to spend the festival with the people. He held a banquet at the south of Wuzhou City, a tributary of Dongyang River, and the banks of Wushui River. Wuzhou City was crowded with people, and men, women, young and old traveled, gathered on the banks of Wushui River.

Men are picnicking in groups, while women sit by the river, take off their shoes and socks to wash their hands and feet. This is a slap in the air to cleanse the body, and it means to eliminate ominous omen. Thousands of girls wash their feet by the river, and the picture is very funny, which is called the Eye Feast Festival.

A single male dog dressed up and was very flirtatious. When he met a woman he liked, he went over to hold his fists and greet him, and first introduced himself. The girl did not respond, so he got out of the way; the girl moved her body and could discuss in depth. Sitting next to the girl, he started talking about love, which is called Valentine's Day.

The birds sing and the flowers are fragrant, the spring is full of joy, and the cups are refreshing, and the laughter is heard. The only thing that is the Wukang picnic group is the awkward atmosphere. Xiaoqing lacks interest and her pretty face is full of sorrow. Everyone is like a meeting and chatting carefully. Di Renjie often winked: The boss keeps his wife, and her appearance is too affecting her appetite.

Wu Kang smiled bitterly, I can't control this wife, and my mind is already funny. The official group and the wife group know it well, without any dissatisfaction, but with deep regret. Sister Di winked, and her best friends comforted her: Nao Nao is Princess Lu, and her wife should not be greedy for Shu.

The reason is a long story, which goes back to the fifth day of the first lunar month. Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites, wrote a memorial to ask for the reincarnation of the crown prince in order to curry favor with Li Jiu and Mei Niang. Li Zhong was not a legitimate son, and his reputation was not right. He should depose his position as the crown prince and become the eldest son Li Hong.

Li Jiu immediately agreed to the sixth day of the first lunar month to issue an order to depose the position of Prince Li Zhong, demote the title of King of Liang, and be appointed as the governor of Liangzhou (Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province). He actually granted two thousand households and granted 20,000 sections of five-color silk, the first luxury house.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Li Hong, the three-year-old Dai Wang, was appointed as the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty. At the same time, he was amnesty in the world, bid farewell to the sixth year of Yonghui, and changed the reign to the first year of Xianqing. Li Xian, one-year-old Lu Wang, was moved to the governor of Qizhou (Baoji City, Shaanxi Province), and was granted the title of governor of Yongzhou and the governor of Youzhou.

When Xiaoqing heard the news, she turned into a cathartic family, and was in a state of unrest. When she got married with the queen, Li Hong and Li Xian were allowed to choose you, why did Li Xian choose? If Li Hong was chosen, Nao Nao would be the crown princess and the queen would be the future. You, a killer, will have no life, we must divorce.

The two-year-old Nao Nao also made a fuss, causing trouble in the study room all day long and throwing documents all over the floor. The two little officials were really helpless. They hugged their younger daughter and coaxed their eldest daughter every day. To be honest, Li Hong was suffering from tuberculosis and disappeared in his twenties. At that time, Li Xian was the crown prince, and Nao Nao was also the crown prince's concubine.

However, the eggs are useless, and the lips are worn out, and Xiaoqing doesn't believe it. From the first month of the year to now, she is dizzy all day long and has no hope of living. The most troublesome thing is that Li Xian has no good ending. Nao Nao can be the crown princess, but can't be the queen.

When he chose Li Xian, he was able to live a few more years and suffer a few fewer years of punishment. He secretly made up his mind and had to find an opportunity to cancel his engagement with Li Xian. No matter what the price he paid, he had to dump Li Xian. His daughter's happiness was the most important thing.

There was no atmosphere for the dinner, and the younger brothers took a walk and went to the Wushui River to have fun. The huge linen mat was left with only three. Nao Nao broke free from his arms and harmed the fruits on the mat; Wu Kang stood up to guard, took away the wine, vegetables and pastries; Cui Xiaoqing remained motionless, and was sulking with a calm face.

Nao Nao hugged Yali, ran to his mother, held it and handed it over, and murmured to the queen. Xiaoqing was transformed into a cute way, got up to hug her daughter, and finally smiled. Wu Kang hurried over, took Yali and wiped it, and smiled and pleased her. Xiaoqing whitened his eyes and sighed softly and said, "I have decided not to make trouble in the future."

God is open to his eyes, and the hardships are over. He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Madam Shengming, Li Hong hates me, and he also hates Naolao. Our daughter doesn't care about him. Actually, I think, don't ask too much. Let's find the queen to break the engagement and let Naolao choose his own son-in-law."

"You dare", Cui Xiaoqing turned her back and complained with a grudge: "You are the third-rank governor, and your children's marriage must be of equal status. Besides, we can't make the decision on the marriage with King Lu, so we can only break the engagement. With her temper, she will definitely disagree unless you commit a serious crime."

What crime can I commit? Crow Mouth, Wu Kang said disdainfully: "I have life-saving grace to the saints and the queen, and I also promote the deposed king and establish Wu. They both value relationships. As long as they do not rebel, plan a great rebellion, or rebel, they will protect me. Do you agree?"

Xiaoqing agreed: "My husband is right. Our family has reached a high school, and wealth is just around the corner. My dear husband, write a letter to the queen and ask the saint to promote it to Beijing. Even a fifth-rank official is better than the governor of Yuezhou. People miss Aye."

Wu Kang was so amused that he didn't even want the face. He thought for a few breaths and said, "Madam, don't worry, before leaving Chang'an, the queen gave him a letter. This year is a big exam. I am the third-rank governor, and the saint will take the exam directly. As long as there is no accident, I will definitely be promoted to Beijing. Mei Niu gives two choices, General Zuo Qianniu Guard, or the Chief Censor."

Cui Xiaoqing was stunned on the spot, and the little official was shocked. The Qianniu Guard of the Zuofu is affiliated with the Sixteen Guards of the South Yai, and the General is a third-rank official. The soldiers are Qianniu Guards, that is, the Great Insider Guards, who are responsible for guarding the palace. When the emperor travels, the guards and carriages are all held by the children of important officials.

General Qianniu Guard is the confidant of his heart, and his emperor's kindness is great. The Chief Censor, the fifth rank, the second in command of the Censorate, is also the emperor's confidant. Wu Kang is more inclined to be a general, and holding the Qianniu sword is better than swearing people everywhere.

Xiaoqing smiled and swept away the haze for several months, and complained unhappily: "I will definitely choose the general, don't be the chief censor. Why don't you say it earlier, which will make people depressed. It's better to be the general than to be the queen, and our son is blessed."

It is not good to favor boys over girls. Wu Kang took Nao Nao and hugged it in his arms and joked: "The future general's wife, don't be sad, you can get old easily. Since you are in a good mood, let's participate in the Shangsi event, and we and our husbands and the people will have fun."

Xiaoqing smiled and snatched her baby daughter, and left with a small step. Wu Kang laughed silently. You are all mean to me. Qian Shun and Pinglang made gestures, twenty guards gathered to protect the boss.

Di Renjie looked at Xiaoqing, gave the boss a thumbs up, and coaxed you, you can do it again. Wu Kang stared at him, greeted Changsun Quan and Zhang Jianzhi, and looked at the monsters in the river. There were wooden bowls, cut scoops, and it contained fine wine.

People on the shore use various tools to hook out the wine from the river, hold it in their hands and drink it. This is the famous "Preface to the Lanting Collection", which is the background creation. Qian Shun and Pinglang squatted by the river, hooked two scoops with hooks, and handed them to the boss and his wife.

Wu Kang drank it all in one go, looked around at the wooden bowl, and found the signature at the bottom of the bowl. He handed it to Qian Shun, who quickly called out: Zhang Wang, Hua'anfang. The people were instantly frying the pot and uttering the message at the top of their voices. For about half a quarter of an hour, a young woman came over shyly.

This is the rule of Shangsi Festival. Officials drink wine and tip the owner. Wu Kang opened the calculation bag, took out dozens of money, put it in the woman's hand, and sent blessings according to the routine: "Drinking the wine in Shangsi, the disaster and the disease are out, and the fat boy walks in the house, congratulations to Zhang Wang."

The people started to make a fuss, and the women held copper coins and thanked them shyly. The officials took action, flirting wine bowls from the river, following the boss's routine, giving money, buying bowls, and giving wishes. The atmosphere gradually reached its climax, and the women who were hooked were all overjoyed, but they were unhappy when they pouted.

The people also entrusted wine, the same recipe, the same blessing, this is to have fun with the people. In a happy atmosphere, Qian Shun whispered in a low voice, and Wu Kang frowned slightly. He took the letter and opened it. It was a secret letter from the Beijing Office, which had been translated and looked very interesting...

On the fifth day of the second month, President Li Jiu ordered to be awarded the title of Warrior Situ and Duke Zhou. The deceased uncle was approaching the peak of ghost life, and Mei Niang was a filial child. On the seventh day of the second month, Du Zhenglun was promoted to the Minister of the Yellow Sect and was the third rank of the minister of the Central Secretariat. Wu Kang curled his lips, and the prime minister was every year, and when will he come to my house? I envy and hate it.

On February 16th, the chief minister Han Yuan submitted a memorial to defend Chu Suiliang's innocence and persuade Li Jiu to stop his slander. Li Jiu did not listen, and Han Yuan resigned, and did not approve it. Wu Kang couldn't help but sigh that Lao Chu did not commit a crime, but made a political mistake. As long as Li Jiu did not die, as long as Mei Niang was in court, he would not have the chance to overturn the case.

I threw the secret letter to Qian Shun, and I couldn't help but laugh. My beautiful handwriting, a five-character romance poem: I saw Zhu Chengbi's thoughts, haggard and separated, and remembered you. I didn't believe that I had tears in my eyes, and I opened the box to check the pomegranate skirt. "Ruyi Niang", in the second year of Yonghui, Mei Niang gave it to Jiulang.

The fierce girl is also lingering. The love poem written by the female president is very numb to read, but why did she send it to me? Look at Luo Binwang, and she felt a bad taste. She tore off the signature and handed it to him and said, "Can you see this poem by Brother Tourism?"

Lao Luo took it with both hands, his shoulders trembled, and his face was extremely weird. Di Renjie leaned over, his expression even more strange, his eyes turned to the big guy, Lao Luo, you two have an affair. Wu Kang lowered his face and stared at him and explained: "This is written by my sister... Sister Yuan, please comment."

The two of them had even more strange expressions. Luo Binwang said "Shangke". Di Renjie said "very good", and came over and whispered: "Although the boss and Helan lady have no siblings, they do have the name of siblings... It is contrary to ethics and will cause criticism. The boss thinks twice."

Thinking about it twice, don't be so dirty, Wu Kang was furious and decided to kick him out of the river. Suddenly, he was stunned and thought that in the capital, Mei Niang asked for his life and refused to stay in the Wu Mansion. Is it related to Wu Shun? After thinking about it for a moment, I felt that there was a story, so ask Qian Shun.

Looking around, Qian Shunshun came over, holding the eggs and red dates, smiling and showing his attentiveness: "Qu Shui floats in plain eggs, Qu Shui floats in red dates, please taste them."

This bastard deliberately disgusted people, and Wu Kang's face was as dark as ink. The vegetarian eggs floating in Qushui are boiled eggs; the ripe dates floating in Qushui are dried red dates. Put them into the water and go downstream. The people downstream eat it, which means there are many children and grandchildren.

It is a custom of Shangsi Festival. Qian Shun was kind-hearted, and Wu Kang wanted to kill him. Thousands of girls were washing their feet upstream of the Wu River and fishing dates in the water. I really couldn't eat them. My eyes rolled and I disgusted Di Renjie and laughed: "Huaiying is right, I will remember it in my heart, and I will give you eggs and dates."

Old Di actually thanked him, stuffed the red dates into his mouth, and the sister-in-law Di next to him took the egg and peeled the shell. Wu Kang was a little confused. Your taste was heavier than me, so I only had a slight foot fetish. At this time, Pinglang came over, and the envelope was still Mei Niang's handwriting. After reading it carefully, he frowned slightly.

After Queen Wang and Concubine Xiao Shu were deposed as commoners, they were arranged to be in the courtyard of Tai Chi Palace. The doors and windows of the house were locked, and small holes were dug in the walls, and food was delivered from the holes, and empty bowls were taken out. On the third day of the twelfth lunar month last year, Li Jiu's relationship was turbulent, and he felt sorry for them.

The crime of deposing Wang Liwu was a premeditated and poisonous person, which was originally a false accusation. A couple had a hundred days of grace and lived together for more than ten years, but they still had feelings. Li Jiu was uneasy and secretly went to the cold palace to visit him by a devil.

Seeing the bad environment, I felt even more guilty and even shed tears. Mei Niang was in the letter and described the scene at that time. Li Jiu: Queen, Concubine Shu is there; Queen Wang: I offended the concubine and became a palace maid, so why should I have a more respectful title? If the Supreme Being thought of the past, I would ask my concubine to see the sun and the moon again, and beg to call this courtyard as Huixinyuan; Li Jiu sighed: I will deal with it immediately.

Translated into vernacular: We are slaves now and cannot be called queen and concubine. If Your Majesty is nostalgic, let us go out and we will refresh ourselves. Please change this yard to Huixinyuan to encourage us.

This dialogue and scene reminds the past that Mei Niang told about Chang'an before the New Year. At Ganye Temple, she also begged this way, begging Li Jiu to take her away. Li Jiu was compassionate and said, "I will deal with it."

The familiar script was just a female pig's feet, and Li Jiu was quite a bastard. At this moment, he finally understood the reason why Mei Niang sent "Ruyi Niang". She was scared, afraid that history would repeat, and afraid that Li Jiu would take them out of the cold palace.

Wu Kang expressed his understanding that for Mei Niang, the queen was the fundamental one. She showed up with Li Jiu that day, and explained his feelings and moved him with reason. Our family of Guanlong had just achieved a good start and could not be wasted.

Li Jiuxiong was very talented and understood the truth. Although he felt sorry for them, he could not affect the overall political situation. He wanted to defeat the Guanlong family and seize the power of the court. He had enough puppets' lives. So he admitted his mistakes and decided to kill them, so that he would not leave any future troubles once and for all.

This black-hearted bastard said that it was inconvenient for me to take action, so he asked Mei Niang to be blamed. Mei Niang got the right to deal with it, and brought her confidant to the cold palace and forced them to commit suicide. Queen Wang said: I hope Your Majesty will live a long life, Zhao Yi is just solemnly, and death is my due ending.

If you say one word, you will be successful and defeated. The loser will die. The pride of aristocratic women is vividly reflected and they will despise Mei Niang nakedly. You are not qualified to be the queen. Even if you kill me, I will only call you Zhaoyi.

I couldn't help but sigh. Queen Wang was very pitiful. She was not wrong with her. She felt the sourness and sourness in her mouth. She came back to her senses from her thoughts, looked at Cui Xiaoqing, and spit out the things in her mouth. The corners of her mouth twitched, and it turned out to be dried red dates, which were fished out from the river of washing feet.

He threw it away, heard a dry cough, and said coldly: Qushui floating in the red dates, the descendants ran away at home, and ate them quickly. This was boring. Wu Kang gritted his teeth and put the dates in his mouth. He swallowed them directly, turned his head angrily, and continued reading...

Before his death, Concubine Xiao had a very bad temper and cursed: A Wu was cunning, and even this, I wish he could give birth to me as a cat, A Wu as a rat, and strangle his throat. The general meaning is: A Wu, this vixen, will cause me so badly, I will turn into a cat in the next life, A Wu will turn into a mouse, and strangle you to death.

The two women's last words were made at the end of their lives, and Mei Niang was so angry that she was filled with smoke from her orifices. One was despised and the other cursed, neither of them was good. She still felt unhappy when she killed them. Queen Wang changed her surname to Python, meaning that her heart was like a snake and scorpion; Concubine Xiao changed her surname to Xiao, meaning that she was a bad bird that ate meat.

It feels a bit ridiculous. Only women can play this kind of writing game. However, Wang and Xiao, it is not Awu who killed you, but dirty politics. As the saying goes, deposing Wang and Liwu is a roundabout way, but ultimately political. The struggle is to seize power from the Guanlong family.

The letter ended here. Wu Kang was not happy. Why didn’t he write the execution process? Historical records in later generations say that you deal with them like Lu Zhi dealt with Concubine Qi. Why didn’t he write such a wonderful process? He took off his pants, so show me this?

Decisively give negative comments and recalls "Zizhi Tongjian": First hit a hundred big boards, and the skin is broken. Then chop off your hands and feet, throw them into the wine jar, and give them the bones to get drunk. It probably means that you want to regain your freedom and live in your dreams. Awu is willing to help others, let you get drunk in your bones, and always have a beautiful dream.

Wu Kang laughed twice, folded the letter paper and stuffed the envelope, and suddenly found that there was still a letter paper inside. He immediately took it out and opened it, and was disappointed again. It was not the execution process. In just one sentence, it was very numb to read: Dear Kang Lang, my sister often had nightmares and dreamed that the cat was rushing towards me. What should I do?

I didn't know, it wouldn't be like in "Zizhi Tongjian", you are suffering from mental illness? You are afraid of Xiao Xiao's reincarnation and revenge, so you are forbidden to raise cats in the palace. Tongjian also said, "You dreamed of Xiao Wang and Xiao Xiao, with their heads disheveled and bloody distant. You were so scared that you dared to live in Tai Chi Palace, moved to Daming Palace, and even dared not return to Chang'an."

If this is true, I despise you. I am so timid. Don’t be the female president. Go home to raise pigs with me. After despising you, I am very confused. How to solve the problem and how to enlighten me?

At a loss, I saw Di Renjie and Zhang Jianzhi eating foot-washing dates and immediately had an idea. I sent the letter to them and said lightly: "The queen can't sleep at night. As ministers, we should solve our problems. You should focus on your thoughts and come up with solutions before the event is over. Otherwise, all of them will fail this year's assessment."

The younger brothers were all confused. The big guy failed the exam, and they were dismissed from the middle and lower level of the assessment. I was dismissed and dismissed. I quickly read the content and I was very sad. The big guy was really unkind. No matter how good we can, we can't control our dreams. Don't rush the duck to put it on the shelves.

They were frowning, and Wu Kang felt sad. The governor did not raise useless people. However, in less than three seconds, they were frowning. Xiaoqing stuffed a foot-washing egg and ate it. She immediately made up her mind that the event would be cancelled next year and she would no longer have fun with the people.

Time passed by, Di Renjie came over and lowered his voice and said, "As the saying goes, a lion guards the gate, and a tiger sits in the middle hall. The tiger is the cat's teacher. If the queen dreams of a cat, there must be a wild cat. There are two tigers in your house, and they are sent to Chang'an and locked up in the Beast Garden. If the tiger teacher is in charge, the wild cat retreats, and the queen will disappear."

Wu Kang looked confused. This is the countermeasure? It’s so unreliable. You guys have a living bag. There are rumors in later generations that cats are tiger teachers. When you come to your mouth, tigers are cat teachers? The eyes swept over, and everyone nodded, feeling.

Hutou, Hutou is a South China tiger. She was raised by Xiaoqing, so she first sought her opinions. Xiaoqing agreed happily and gave advice: "Hutou and Hutou were raised by Xiaocui, and she was very close to her. Let Xiaocui follow her and specially support the queen for the tiger."

Wu Kang was completely confused. His wife was really scheming. She was a maid from Ruyan. When I first came to Wuzhou, I was there to serve her. She was planning to get married, but she cried and obviously wanted to become a concubine.

Xiaoqing's eyes were cunning, Wu Kang was quite helpless, so she turned around and ordered Qian Shun to do what her wife wanted. Qian Shun agreed to the promise, and the crowd suddenly became in chaos: Someone fell into the water, hurry up and save the person...
