Chapter 33: The Sound of Pillow Hooves (6)

The garden is full of spring.

The red ones are the flowers, the green ones are the leaves, and a few yellow finches squeak on the tender red branches, and occasionally peck a few small insects.

Wen Yanbo held a cane in his hand and walked through the grass and trees.

The so-called "the world's festivals are only cold food, and the world's famous gardens are heavy in Luoyang", and the prosperity of Luoyang's gardens is far greater than elsewhere. But all the old and important ministers who came to live here all managed the garden for their own amusement.

Since Zhishi, even though he, a veteran of the Three Dynasties, can still influence the affairs of the imperial court from afar, most of his energy can only be placed on the mountains and rivers. The pavilions and flowers in the courtyard are all out of their eyes, and how much effort has been spent.

Looking at the purple and red in the garden, the grass is green and the water is clear, Wen Yanbo, who has been wronged in Luoyang for seven or eight years, is also open-minded, and his steps are much brisker.

Two maidservants led the way, followed by four.

Wen Jifu followed close at his side. He followed Wen Yanbo from the southernmost Woyun Hall, shuttling between various pavilions, water pavilions, mountains, rocks and water veins, and walked for half a day. Seeing that Wen Yanbo's interest was getting better and better, he couldn't help the worry in his heart, "My lord, I've walked a lot today, let's go to the Sijing Hall to rest." ”

"Go to the Shade Pavilion!" Wen Yanbo was very interested, "By the way, let's see how those peonies you got are." ”

Wen Jifu hesitated for a moment, "...... It's going to take a few days. ”

"Don't worry, the key is to do it well. As long as you can catch up with the flower party. Wen Yanbo said, still going east, "In the old days, there was the so-called theory of nine blessings in the world, Jingshi was Qian Fu, eye Fu, sick Fu, Ping Curtain Fu, Wu Yue had mouth Fu, Shudi Medicine Fu, Qin Long Saddle Horse Fu, Yan Zhao clothes Fu, and Luoyang was Huafu. If the flower meeting is done well, the flower blessing can be retained. ”

The so-called blessing is the crown of the world. Tokyo has a lot of money, a lot of scenery, good characters, good doctors, the screen curtain is a specialty, Wu Yue is a peaceful land, the development of cooking is much stronger than the north, the climate of Shu is suitable for the growth of medicinal materials, there are good horses and good saddles in Kansai, Hebei's weaving reputation is great, as for Luoyang, the specialty peony is Kao, naturally the first in the world.

"But that was also at the beginning of the dynasty." Wen Jifu said, "Jingshi bets more on Saifu, and the mouth is not inferior to Wu Yue, Qin Longyi is better than Yan Zhao, and Luoyang's flower fortune is no one to fight." ”

"There's nothing to fight about, it's just what people want." Wen Yanbo looked back at his son, "You are in charge of the venue of Quy Non Garden, don't lose to the Tianwangtang Garden." ”

Quy Nhon Garden is in Quy Nhon Pong, or Quy Nhon Pong is Quy Nhon Garden. Luoyang City is fifty miles around, and there are many gardens in the city, but the largest is Quy Nhon Fang. The bamboo forest alone has as many as 100 acres, which is the garden of the family of the prime minister Niu monk and the child in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with Quy Nhon Garden, Bai Juyi's is not comparable. Sima Guang's solitary paradise is even smaller,

Although the scale of Wen Yanbo's garden is not small, it is far from Quy Nhon Garden. However, when it comes to the prosperity of the scenery, Wen Yanbo does not think that he will lose to Quy Nhon Garden, and it is a new garden that has only been up for more than ten years, which is better than the old garden of Niu monks and children.

The peony blooms in March and April, and the annual peony flower meeting is also held when the peony is in full bloom. The garden of Tennoin has been a meeting place for many years. There are hundreds of thousands of peonies in the garden. Most of the people in the city who depend on peonies for their livelihood live near Tenno-in. Every flowering period, the garden and its left near stand into the downtown area, Zhang Xuan, the market is in the market, the orchestra is played in it, and the sergeants and women in the city all pass by and swim.

And this year, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo suddenly became interested, and the two of them, who would not go to those too lively places to have fun in the past, joined forces to organize a flower party. Fu Bi took the lead, invited Wen Yanbo, borrowed Quy Nhon Garden, and used it as a venue together with the garden. He even plans to imitate and invite the first and second place winners of the Luoyang Keju League to play in the school field.

Wen Yanbo is very attentive to Wenfu, not to mention Fubi. In short, it is a serious matter to do it.

When outsiders first hear it, they can't help but complain, the north is like that, and the two old ministers still have the leisure to bloom. But the upper echelons understood that Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo were doing this on purpose.

"Since Fu Yanguo has a heart, he can't be a descendant as a father. I have lived in Luoyang for so many years, and I don't want to see chaos in Henan Mansion. Wen Yanbo said: "Let's ask a few other companies and have fun together." Sima Jun has really lived in the cave for a long time, and it's time to come out and see the sun. ”

"Yes, the child will repair the book and ask Sima Junshi."

"There is also the Golden Belt Wai, which should also be moved out of the Huanxi. Even if Wang Junzhen is reluctant, he will not put on a bitter face. Wen Yanbo stroked his beard, and Mimi said with a smile.

Yangzhou's gold belt is surrounded by peony, with red petals and yellow waist, like a ruler with a gold belt around his waist and wearing vermilion and purple. However, this is only an occasional mutation of the red peony, which rarely appears, and has not been cultivated into an independent variety, but once it is lucky enough to bloom, it is said that the city will become the prime minister.

Han Qi knew Yangzhou in the old years, but four branches appeared in one go. Han Qi is counted as one, Wang Anshi and Wang Qi, who are already famous, were also in Yangzhou at the time, but there was still a lack of a fourth person, and it happened that Chen Sheng's road passed through Yangzhou, and he was pulled to the banquet. Four people sat around the hairpins, and there were four prime ministers in the future.

And Luoyang's golden belt is a peony, but it has become a fixed variety, every time it blooms, it is red up and down, and a circle of yellow in the middle, although it is still precious, especially Yao Huang Wei Zi, but it is not as good as Yangzhou's gold belt around that can become a legend.

However, the peony of Jindaiwei is still scarce after all, and one can appear, and it can also add luster to the flower, and that one is from Wang Gongchen's Huanxi Garden.

Wang Gongchen has the title of Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, and is the first person under the rich and literary among the elders of Luoyang. If he can attend the meeting, it will also be beneficial to Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo's plans.

Wen Jifu's face hung down: "The family members of Wang Kaifu left the city when the city gate opened this morning, saying that they were going to live in Beizhuang. It doesn't look like you're going to a flower party. ”

“…… Let him go. Wen Yanbo was silent for a moment, and then walked forward, "Wang Junzhen wants to leave, and he can't stop him." Let him go. One more of him is not more, and one less of him is not less. ”

Wen Yanbo and Fu Bi's interest in the Peony Flower Club was not one-tenth of what they showed. It is just a means to calm down and calm people's hearts.

Although Luoyang is to the north, after passing through Mengjin, it is the remnant of Taihang. The distance to Taiyuan is hundreds of miles less than that from Tokyo to Taiyuan, but on the Luoyang side, it is difficult to understand the military situation in Hedong in time.

Whether it is Fu Bi or Wen Yanbo, they can only receive second-hand news from Tokyo City, and the time can be delayed for more than ten days. As for the other veterans of Zhishi, of course, they will not be an exception.

With such a long delay, there are always a lot of unprovoked speculations and even fears about the entire Hedong war situation inside and outside Luoyang. At this time, the performance of the veteran and important ministers determined the direction of the rumors.

The more stable these old guys are, the more stable Luoyang will be. And once the patriarchs move their families to the south one by one, then the rich and noble families of Henan Mansion will be able to run out in three or five days.

In any case, Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are both veterans of the Three Dynasties, and they don't intend to be embarrassed to let the younger generations blame them. It's just that if Wang Gongchen and the others want to run, Wen Yanbo doesn't plan to care, so he just goes with them. With contrast, it's a good thing.

Looking sideways at his son who was carefully following him, Wen Yanbo sighed secretly, he has reached this age, and he has to find ways to pave the way for his children and grandchildren, it is really a natural injustice.

"If you eat in vain, you don't know what it means to share weal and woe." Wen Yanbo's pace slowed down, "Han Yuru [Han Jiang]'s whole family went out to watch the ball game together a few days ago, do you want to get it?" ”

"Well, the boy heard about it."

Fu Shaoting also heard about this. Taiyuan is trapped by enemy forces, and the chaos in the city of Tokyo will only be greater than that of Luoyang.

Han Jiang, as the prime minister, must share his worries for the monarch. Not only Han Jiang, Cai Qu and Zhang Qi are said to have activities. As for Wang Anshi, his character, but he can't do such a thing, and no one will misunderstand.

Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo are worried that if there is chaos in the rear, then the situation in Hedong may really be doomed. When the time comes, what if Kansai wins? What can Hebei do if it even counterattacks Liaojing? It's not the result of chickens flying eggs.

On weekdays, it's okay to drag it out, but in today's situation, it's better to be in the same boat. smashed Hedong and let the Liao people enter the Central Plains, and no one's life would be better.

What's more, Wen Yanbo's hometown is Jiexiu in Fenzhou, Hedong.

It's just that after all, not everyone has such insight as Fu Bi and Wen Yanbo. The concerts suggesting peace with the Liao people were one after another, and there were many criticisms in Shilin, and the corruption of the current situation was the result of the traitors in the two provinces. Otherwise, how could the nearly eighty-year-old alliance collapse without warning?

Hedong's responsibility is not in Hangang, but what is the trouble for wanting to add to the crime? In many people's movements, due to the capture of Shengzhou, the troops in Hedong were biased to the northwest, and Daizhou lost a large number of elite soldiers and strong generals, so it would be so vulnerable. In addition, when Han Gang was still in the DPRK before, he was in favor of Hedong sending troops to help, which made Taiyuan's troops empty, which is an irrefutable fact. Although there was a reason for the incident, and no one could have predicted the fall of Daizhou, it did not prevent someone from counting the crime on Han Gang's head.

The main force of Kansai is far from Taiyuan, and it will take some time to support it. Hebei seems to be under the pretext of encircling Wei to save Zhao. Gyeonggi also has to keep a large part of its troops to stabilize people's minds. Han Gang didn't have many resources in his hands.

This is also because of Han Gang's prestige, there are still many people who don't believe him.

"I really don't know what those people think. If you mess up the morale of the army and destroy the Great Wall, you can make the Liao thieves die down? Wen Jifu couldn't figure it out, he knew that his intelligence was not high, his ability was not strong, and he didn't even dare to take the Jinshi exam, but now when he saw an official from a Jinshi, he wanted to destroy the Great Wall to make the Liao State Shangfu rest his anger for a while, I really don't know how they relied on the Jinshi.

"Who knows what to do?" Wen Yanbo snorted coldly. Of course, he knew what the Dao was for, but he didn't have the heart to understand. I don't know when I can do anything, I don't have the eyesight to measure the weight, and it's not worth Wen Yanbo's trouble.

There is a sentence he didn't say, searching all over the government and the opposition, and those who can stabilize Hedong and block Liaokou are not second thoughts except for Han Gang, who has appeased Hedong and is deeply respected in recent years.

This recognition is universally recognized. Although Wen Yanbo is already a handful of old and had a bad relationship with Han Gang in the past, he is not so confused that he will deceive himself. Several times embarrassed him. If Han Gang is incompetent, then what is he?
