Wang Yuan rode his horse slowly on the streets of Chengdu, in the early summer night, the air was cool and comfortable, the people on the street were endless, the lights on the street were dotted, and from time to time there were people's laughter.

Wang Yuan's mood also calmed down in this quiet and peaceful summer night. In Xuanzong's bedroom in the Scattered Flower Building just now, Wang Yuan's mood had become irritable and frantic for a while, but now it finally slowly calmed down in the breeze of this summer night.

The words with Xuanzong just now, in fact, Wang Yuan has been holding back for a long time. The anger that had accumulated in his heart had been so long that he was slightly provoked by Xuanzong, and he erupted. But Wang Yuan did not regret it. These words should have been said to Xuanzong a long time ago, although it seems that Xuanzong is currently down to this point, and he has a suspicion of beating the water dogs, but Wang Yuan knows that Xuanzong is not as fragile as he imagined. If you are deceived by his appearance, you will end up suffering from yourself. This person can bend and stretch, and he can be humiliated by his crotch at a critical time, but once he recovers, he will be ruthless and will not hesitate.

Even in the current situation that seems to be exhausted, Xuanzong still tried to deceive himself, tried to win himself over, and tried to regain the throne. This man's thirst for power has reached the point of going mad. This made Wang Yuan extremely surprised and disdainful. And until this time, he actually dared to ask to see Yang Yuhuan, which shows how shameless this person is. Wang Yuan didn't kick him twice on the spot, he had already given him a lot of face.

The conversation just now strengthened Wang Yuan's determination to send Xuanzong back to the capital. Li Mao accepted him, and if he didn't accept him, Wang Yuan would never allow him to return to Chengdu. Wang Yuan's greatest tolerance for Xuanzong is that he will not give him his life with his own hands, but Wang Yuan will never be willing to look at this person again.

Unconsciously, Wang Yuan returned to the front of the mansion. Seeing the two large red lanterns hanging in front of the door from a distance, Wang Yuan's heart rose with warmth. Dismounted and entered the door, passed through the brightly lit corridor and entered the back house, and when he heard the laughter of his children and the laughter of his wives and concubines from the courtyard of the back house, all the troubles in Wang Yuan's heart disappeared. With a reassuring smile on his face, he walked quickly into the warmly lit back house.

……

On the fifth day of the Dragon Boat Festival in May, starting in the early morning, Chengdu City is immersed in a festive atmosphere. In the early morning, every family, men, women and children get up early in the morning and begin to boil mugwort water to bathe and change clothes. Immediately, the whole city was filled with the smell of wormwood. Soon after, men and women, young and old, all wore the fragrance of wormwood, wore brand new summer clothes, and went out with baskets filled with zongzi, fruits, and realgar wine. The flow of people and vehicles gushing out from the streets and alleys slowly converges on the main street, and then rushes to the two city gates in the southwest like a long dragon, and then slowly converges on the bank of the Minjiang River more than ten miles away from the west city of Chengdu from the two official roads leading to the Minjiang River outside the city gate.

Today, on the banks of the Minjiang River, a large-scale Dragon Boat Race is about to begin. According to reliable information obtained by well-informed sources, there will be hundreds of dragon boats racing in this dragon boat race today, and Wang Yuanwang, who has recently been named the king of Xiping, will personally participate in the race. Moreover, Wang Dashuai also set up many generous awards to encourage the winners of the dragon boat race. After more than a year of panic and turmoil, the people have long been full of longing for this event of the Dragon Boat Festival, so almost the whole city went out to the bank of the Minjiang River to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival.

The whole family of the Wang Mansion also got up early, and the chickens and dogs in the back house were busy, everyone was busy bathing and changing clothes, arranging flowers and grass and preparing to go out. Wang Yuan also got up early, and after the wormwood bathed, he combed his hair in a bun and put on new clothes under the service of his eldest sister. After eating two zongzi and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, Wang Yuan walked to the front house.

The large courtyard of the front house was also a busy scene, and Huang San and his wife were directing the servants and maids at home to carry things to the cart. Although Huang San was already the chief steward of the royal house, he still did not change the true character of the working people, he personally followed the servants to carry heavy objects to the car, and tied these accompanying things firmly with ropes.

Seeing Wang Yuan appear at the gate of the front hall, Huang San hurriedly beckoned others to continue loading the car and walked to the front of the hall by himself.

"San Lang, what is this for? It's such a big stance, and it looks like it's going to move. Wang Yuan said with a smile.

"Erlang, this is all a must. When the whole family goes out today, dozens of vehicles will be prepared for the ladies in the back house alone, and the accompanying food, drink and clothing will naturally be indispensable. Erlang didn't go to the door to see, twenty-eight carriages, plus eight large flatbed cars. I also have twenty-three horses, and I'm afraid that this is not enough. Huang San wiped his sweat and smiled.

Wang Yuan smacked his tongue in astonishment, and then sighed in his heart. When I was in Chang'an that day, every time I met the Yang brothers and sisters' convoy, they were accompanied by dozens of carts, dozens of batches of horses, and hundreds of people, which was extremely powerful. At that time, he also lamented that the Yang brothers and sisters were deliberately showing off. Now I need such a big pomp when I go out. Yes, the wives and concubines in the back house alone already need eight or nine carriages, and the accompanying maids also need to ride, no wonder there is such a big posture. Coupled with the servants' retinue and the things they use, doesn't it require a huge convoy? It seems that it is not the Yang sisters who deliberately show off, or they do show off a little, but when they reach that status, they are casually in a large convoy when they travel.

Huang San beckoned someone to serve tea to Wang Yuan, let Wang Yuan sit in the hall and rest, and returned to the courtyard to direct the chariots, horses and servants to be busy. Wang Yuan sat in the hall bored, turning around and not knowing what to do. I don't know how long it took, the sun rose little by little, and the carriages and horses in front were ready, but none of the women in the back house had come out.

Wang Yuan and the others were anxious, and ordered people to enter and urge several times, and finally in a burst of warbler and swallow language, Li Xin'er took the lead, Princess Aluo, Gao Moyan, Lan Xinhui, Qingyun'er, Ziyun'er, eldest sister Huang Ying and others appeared at the back door of the front hall. The instant arrival of a group of women ignited the loneliness in the air, and Wang Yuan, who was still bored, was instantly overwhelmed by the group of well-dressed women in front of him. One by one, they all put on the most proud clothes, put on their favorite jewelry, painted the most beautiful makeup, and pasted the most delicate flowers. One by one, they are like flowers blooming in spring, and the flowers and branches are full of beauty.

"Erlang, I've been waiting for you for a long time, so I'm in a hurry." Li Xin'er stepped forward and said with a smile.

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, you always have to dress up for a while when you go out, I understand, I understand." ”

Gao Moyan pouted: "Isn't it someone who doesn't want to lose you?" You can't let people say after reading it, the wives of the Wang family are unkempt and lose Wang Dashuai's face. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "That's, that's." You're right. You all take care of my face, but you are actually dressing up for me. ”

"Phew, don't talk to him much, this person doesn't know how to be blessed in the midst of blessings." Gao Moyan rolled his eyes and walked over.

Huang San stood at the door of the hall and said to Li Xin'er with a smile: "Twelve Niang, it's not too early, it's time to go." The cars are waiting at the door, so let's take the ladies and women into the car. ”

Li Xin'er nodded and said, "Then let's get in the car, it's really not early, and we have to travel ten miles." ”

The women laughed and went out, and walked towards the courtyard gate under the guidance of Huang San. Wang Yuan stood still, and when Huang Ying walked in front of him, he reached out and grabbed Huang Ying's little hand, and asked in a low voice, "Where is my cousin?" And the two in the apricot orchard? ”

Huang Ying smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Gongsun is waiting for them." They're right behind. ”

Wang Yuan put his mind at ease, reached out and quietly touched Huang Yingqiao's round buttocks, and said in a low voice: "Have a good time today, have a good time." ”

Huang Ying blushed and nodded, "Got it." ”

Wang Yuan waited in the hall for a while, and finally Gongsun Lan, dressed in green clothes, and Mrs. Qin Guo, who was covered with green veils, and Yang Yuhuan's sisters appeared behind the hall door. Wang Yuan followed the three of them and walked out of the door.

Outside the hospital, Wang Yuan finally saw the huge momentum of the family trip. Dozens of carriages lined up more than a hundred paces away. From the front of the house to the fork in the shade of greenery in front. Dozens of retinues led their horses and waited. That's not all, Zhao Qing Tan Ping took three or four hundred cavalry guards to guard at both ends of the team, and there were as many as four or five hundred horses in the entire car.

Wang Yuan sighed, stretched out his hand to take the reins of the horse handed over by the guard, and after everyone was ready, he turned over and got on the horse, waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go." ”

The servants and guards mounted their horses one after another, and the loud whips of the carriage in front of them sounded, and the convoy moved on its way.

The speed of the carriage and horses stretching for miles is not slow, and soon they go out of the city from the west city gate, and walk along the official road to the southwest, at the end of the hour, they turn over a small mountain beam, and the place where a horse is flat in front of them is the north and south of the reckless Min River.

Wang Yuan rode on his horse and looked over condescendingly, but saw a reckless jade belt winding towards the north and south. On the bank of the river ahead, the crowd of black oppressors was as dense as ants. Colorful flags fluttered in the wind, and the people in various colors spread out on the shore like a carpet of flowers. Hundreds of thousands of people in the city of Chengdu came, scattered on the Cuiliu River embankment on the bank of the Minjiang River for more than ten miles. Many people had already come here a few days ago to take up their seats in order to have a place in the best vantage point of the dragon boat race. More people had to line up the riverbank one after another. Children and teenagers climbed like monkeys all over the willow trees on the shore, and the branches and treetops were full of people.

While Wang Yuan sighed, the wives and concubines of the Wang family in the car also poked out their beautiful faces from the car window and marveled. Such a big scene is also rare to see, and everyone is in this kind of environment, and the mood instantly becomes warm and happy.

Several horses galloped over, it was Liu Jun and Li Mi father and son. Li Mi rode his horse to Wang Yuan and said with a smile: "Dashuai, you can arrive." The people looked through it. ”

Wang Yuan smiled: "Didn't you say that it started when you started?" We're not late. ”

"It's not too late, but the people can't stop it." Li Mi said with a smile.

Wang Yuan laughed and said, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go. ”

Li Mi nodded, turned his horse and followed Wang Yuan's side. Liu Jun leaned beside Wang Yuan and whispered, "Father-in-law, are my mother and aunt here?" ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's all here, but you don't have to go to see them, do your own thing." Hundreds of thousands of people are gathered here today, and your duty is to take care of all the security and don't go on any errands. I don't want good things to turn into bad things. ”

Liu Jun said with a smile: "Don't worry, father-in-law, I've arranged everything." I'm just worried that my mother and aunt won't come, and it's a good festival for them to come out and have a happy break. It's good to come, I don't go to see them, it will be a lot of inconvenience. ”

Wang Yuan nodded and said, "It's good if you understand." ”

……

The Wang family's convoy slowly drove from the reserved area into an open space protected by soldiers and horses on the east bank of the Minjiang River. The news of the arrival of Wang Dashuai and his family quickly spread among the people, and suddenly the people became noisy like a mountain and a tsunami. Everyone stood on tiptoe and stretched their necks to look this way, hoping to catch a glimpse of Wang Dashuai's demeanor, and the cheers came and went. When the wives and concubines of the Wang family got out of the car and walked to the dozen or so colorful sheds built on the bank of the river, the cheers and admiration reached their peak.

Although the wives and concubines of the Wang family do not go out on weekdays, after all, they are wealthy ladies, and the people do not have many opportunities to see them. The rumor that there is a beautiful woman in Wang Dashuai's house in the well of Chengdu was confirmed several times when Aluo, Gao Moyan and others wandered in the market, so this rumor was even more rampant. But after all, it's rare to see them, so this has also become a topic of conversation after dinner.

But today, when I saw all the wives of the Wang family appearing together, it blinded the eyes of the people. Only then did they find out that the ladies in Wang Dashuai's mansion were even more excessive than they had been rumored, and they were all as beautiful as fairies.

"Tut-tut, is there such a good-looking woman in the world? Just one, and seven or eight of them are so good-looking, Wang Dashuai is really a blessing. It's a winner in life. is in a high position at a young age, has the ability and power, and the wives in the family are still so standard, which still makes people live. When will I be able to have such a life like Wang Dashuai. ”

"Dream your big dreams. Are you also compared to Wang Dashuai? People have today, but they are desperately fighting. Do you have what it takes to level Nanzhao? Do you have what it takes to reach the city of Raksha? Do you have what it takes to defeat 180,000 rebels with 60,000 soldiers and horses? When you can do this, let's compare with Wang Dashuai. ”

"I'm not comparing with Wang Dashuai, I'm just talking. Can't you talk about it? Dreams always have to come true, what if they come true? ”

"Just you? Can you write a few crooked poems and think you have the ability? Let's talk about when you can be admitted to the imperial examination, there are several people. It's not me who hits you, you should think about this in the next life. ”

"Well, you're right. Wang Dashuai is a person who can't produce one in hundreds of years, and the stars in the sky have descended to earth. His wives are all fairies. Hey, which of his ladies do you think is the most beautiful? ”

"This ...... Mei Lan Juzhu is good at winning. Each has its own merits. If you want to say that the one in Tsing Yi is the most beautiful. It is said that she is Wang Dashuai's master. Not...... It's not a master, it seems to be a person with peerless martial arts. Wang Dashuai's martial arts were learned from her, and it is said that in the last battle of Tongzhou, it was this lady who killed a person's head in the city with a sword. It is said that hundreds of people have been killed. ”

“…… This kind of woman, I'm afraid that only Wang Dashuai can subdue and suppress it, how can ordinary people have such skills. But you say she's the most beautiful, and I really can't agree with that. I have a different opinion. ”

"Oh? So who do you say is the most beautiful? ”

"I think the most beautiful thing is the two who don't see their faces with veils."

“…… I don't understand this, I can't see my faces, why do you say that the two of them are the most beautiful? ”

"Look, you don't understand that, do you? What you can see is naturally compared, but how can you know its true face if you can't see it? That's probably just a matter of imagination. It is precisely because you can't see the real face that you have room for imagination in your head. The rest are already as beautiful as immortals, so these two must be earth-shattering and beautiful. When you see it, you lose the space for imagination, and if you can't see it, you can indulge in your imagination and outline a perfect face in your heart. The so-called getting is better than asking for it, and seeing is better than seeing it. It is between what you see and what you don't see that is the ultimate in true beauty. Are you right? ”

"Grass...... Neuropathy, what to say? I didn't understand a word. I don't have time to mess with you, but lo and behold, the big man is on stage to speak. ”

"Hey...... Why don't you understand? But I was inspired by what I said just now, and I seem to have been inspired to get two lines of poetry. Kindness...... Seeing each other is like not seeing...... Affectionate or ruthless. Good poems, good poems, I will definitely become famous all over the world because of these two poems. ”

……

……

The above is the conversation of two corrupt people in the crowd, and conversations like this can be seen everywhere when Wang Yuan and his wives and concubines ascend to the high platform of the colorful shed on the shore. Everyone was amazed by the beauty of the faces of the ladies of the Wang family, admired and envied, and the voices of criticism were endless.

Wang Yuan and the others climbed the high platform along the earth steps, and at the entrance of the platform, Gao Xianzhi Wei Jiansu led more than ten officials who had been waiting for a long time. Wang Yuan didn't see Yan Zhenqing, but he didn't care much about it. After some pleasantries, everyone sat down. Wei Jiansu accompanied Wang Yuan to Taikou, facing the crowd of black oppression, and asked Wang Yuan to say a few words to the people.

Wang Yuan did not shirk, and came to the entrance of the stage and bowed his hands to the four directions of the stage. The tsunami-like shouts from the mountains under the stage were deafening, and it took a long time to stop.

Wang Yuan said loudly: "Fathers, fellow villagers, brothers and sisters. Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, the first festival after the counterinsurgency, so we gather here to celebrate the auspicious day of the festival. In the past year, the people of Chengdu have paid a huge price and endured great hardships. But we finally got through it. From now on, I hope that there will be no more disasters and no more killings in the land of Jiannan and the land of Longyou in Hexi. I hope that everyone can live a stable and peaceful life forever. Therefore, in today's festive season, we pray for the tranquility of the Minjiang River and the peace of the world in the way of dragon boat racing, and that the wind and rain will be smooth this year and even in the future, so that we can live and work in peace and contentment and live happily. This is what I Wang Yuan sincerely looks forward to today. ”

"Wang Dashuai, Wang Dashuai."

"King Xiping, King Xiping."

The people shouted loudly, and the shouts of hundreds of thousands of people soared into the sky, shaking the heavens and the earth.

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Someone suddenly shouted long live, and the people around him were so frightened that they hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Don't scream. It's going to kill your head. ”

"Let me go...... Kill what? If Wang Dashuai really became the emperor, the world would really be peaceful. I wish he had been a long live. ”

“…… Oh my God, don't mess around. Stay away from him, but don't be affected by him. ”

"Hooray, hooray!" Suddenly, there was such a shout from somewhere else. Soon, this kind of shouting spread, mixed with the shouts of King Xiping, the marshal, and the momentum was not small.

Everyone on the earthen platform also listened to it very well, and a few officials changed color at that time, and they were shocked and didn't know what to do. Wei Jiansu was also startled, but he saw the opportunity very quickly, and immediately handed a drumstick to Wang Yuan, and said loudly in Wang Yuan's ear: "Please Xiangguo beat the drum for my Chengdu Dragon Boat Festival race and cheer for the athletes." ”
