In the autumn of 875 A.D., the second year of Qianfu.

For most people, the impression of the Tang Dynasty is basically from Li Yuan to Li Shimin, then to Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, and finally Li Longji. After that, most of them are not very familiar.

This is a very strange question, in the history of the dynasties, the Qin Dynasty collapsed, the Chu and Han Dynasty contended, the Eastern Han Dynasty at the end of the Three Kingdoms, the Sui Dynasty was defeated and the Tang Dynasty rose, the Song Dynasty turned into the Southern Song Dynasty and finally perished, and the Ming Dynasty was also destroyed by the Manchu Dynasty.

Basically, the history of each unified dynasty at the end of its period can be known to some extent, and even familiar, but the Tang Dynasty? If you do the last survey, it is definitely the most unfamiliar period for the big guys.

For example, who is the next emperor after Li Longji, and who is the last emperor of the Tang Dynasty, hiss...... A little confused.

If you really say that the most famous person in the late Tang Dynasty should be the Yellow Nest who is 'full of golden armor all over the city'.

It is now the autumn of 875, and Huang Chao, who is now fifty-six years old, has led his brothers to revolt in June in response to Wang Xianzhi, who had revolted the previous year. Of course, people have the capital of this uprising, how poor can the leader of the Salt Gang be? Do you want money?

Now the emperor of the Tang Dynasty is Tang Xizong Li Yi, who is only fourteen years old now, and what this little emperor is best at is nothing more than cockfighting and goose gambling and the like, and he is also a weak chicken after all. There is even a saying that Li Yi's brain case is a little problematic and stupid.

This guy said, 'If I take the batting exam, I should be the top student', it is not difficult to know what kind of virtue this emperor is.

is such a thing, and being able to become an emperor is purely supported by eunuchs.

Tian Lingzi is the existence of the emperor who controls the government and monopolizes the government, and Li Yi of Tang Xizong directly calls him 'Father'! has been in power for nearly 20 years, and it can be regarded as a life in vain.

However, this can be said to be the most arrogant eunuch in the Tang Dynasty, and his reputation is really not very good, compared to Zhao Gao and Wei Zhongxian, his popularity is not half a star.

But these have nothing to do with Zhou Shaoyu, he will not contact the high-level of the Tang Dynasty at this time, let alone a few sisters of the Li family, and now the Li Tang Domain is divided into the eunuch dictatorship, and he is really called, what else can he do except be sad and entangled? Why bother.

When it comes to the beauties of the Tang Dynasty, most people's first impression is Yang Yuhuan, after all, they are the four beauties, but if you make a limit, what if the time is after Li Longji? Forehead...... Well, dumbfounded.

Chang'an Pingkangfang, this workshop has a certain reputation in later generations, but the reason is also simple, known as the first red light district in China!

The location of Pingkangfang is excellent, adjacent to Dongshi in the east, adjacent to Chongrenfang across Chunming Avenue in the north, Xuanyangfang in the south, and the upper left is already the boundary of the palace.

Tang poems have clouds, the spring breeze is proud, and you can see all the Chang'an flowers in one day.

But this flower really refers to the flower of a plant? Not really. In the Tang Dynasty, these new jinshi ran to Pingkangfang for the first time It was customary, and there was nothing wrong with it, everyone was like this.

And the reason why Pingkangfang is really famous for future generations is because of a book called "Beili Zhi", which records some outstanding famous prostitutes in Pingkangfang, leaving a lot of stories.

But if you look through the history books and think about it the other way around, you will inevitably feel sad, throughout the Tang Dynasty, there are not many Qinglou women who have appeared in Pingkangfang, but in the end, there are only more than ten names left in later generations.

It has been said that people die twice, one is physiological, and the other is when everyone forgets you and doesn't even know your name. Again, nothing is wrong.

Since Zhou Shaoyu can appear here, naturally it will not be an existence whose name no one even knows, and then he will not be on the list and even drawn from it, so Zhou Shaoyu will not appear here.

As for the woman who was drawn, she was also a more famous figure, belonging to the top group of famous prostitutes in the Tang Dynasty.

In ancient times, scholars were fond of the wine meeting, among which naturally few prostitutes were not allowed to be invited, and the first of them, called all knows, was outstanding in appearance, well-informed, well-informed, well-versed in the past and present, able to speak well, and long-sleeved and good at dancing, which was the basic requirement. And to become a knower, there are only three people who have been in Pingkangfang for so many years.

Zheng Juju, Xue Chuer and Yan Lingbin.

And at this point in time, the first two have already become ancient, so the rest is naturally only Yan Lingbin.

It stands to reason that the famous prostitutes that Zhou Shaoyu hooked up with are not one or two, there is always a way, but when I inquired, I was a little dumbfounded.

Yan Lingbin's frame is not big, she prefers talent to money. His biggest hobby is to collect poems and calligraphy and paintings left by guests, of course, you must feel satisfied, otherwise you can't look at it and leave it behind.

But because of this, unless you spend a lot of money, you won't even be able to meet in person, or you just have to go out and spend time to get some fame, which can be accommodated. However, the problem is that Yan Lingbin is already seriously ill and has very few guests now, so if he is only a little famous, he will definitely not receive it easily.

Yes, jumping up and down for several days, the result is sauce purple, and you can't even see the face, you say that you are not worried.

Well, in fact, I didn't run around and ask around, the courtyard that Zhou Shaoyu rents now is a partial house of a concert in Pingkangfang, the so-called concert courtyard, in the words of later generations, is the local office in Beijing.

However, at this moment, the period is special, and the local festival makes the power monopolized, so its Jinjuan is also valued, in fact, not only is it valued, but the prefects of each Jinjuan are not small, and the right to speak is very high. It is precisely because of this that in contrast to the Beijing officials, there will even be cases of assassination of the Beijing officials, in addition, the documents issued by the Jinjuyuan prove that it can really replace currency to a certain extent, and the merchants who come and go do not even need to bring money, and they can trade with this thing, which shows how chaotic the current Tang Dynasty has been.

In places like this, there are fifteen in Pingkangfang alone, and there are as many as twenty-five in Chongrenfang next door.

I chose to rent in such a place, because basically no one will make trouble in this kind of place, and it is easier to find out about things if it is quiet, and of course, the price will not be too low.

Yan Lingbin left not many deeds, some are not even necessarily true or false, Zhou Shaoyu did not have a bad target to find someone to make arrangements, think about it, since the way of the bright is not good, you can only come to the dark, this is also forced to helpless.

Of course, kidnapping people or something, I will definitely not do it again, besides, Yan Lingbin, who is seriously ill, may not be able to withstand the toss, if there is really a forced abduction, don't really swallow your breath directly.

After all, Yan Lingbin's final ending was really that he died of illness at an early age, which is regrettable.

However, looking at the current time, it may not necessarily be unfortunate, in another five years, Huangchao will capture Chang'an, the world will become more and more difficult, and a woman like Yan Lingbin will probably not have many results.

Since ancient times, there has been a lot of life, and that's basically it.

As the most popular famous prostitute nowadays, Yan Lingbin is obviously equivalent to a cash cow-like existence, even if she is seriously ill now, but because she is young, no one will think that she will eventually die, so the treatment at the moment is naturally excellent. A separate courtyard can be described as comfortable. Otherwise, she collected boxes and boxes of calligraphy and paintings, and there was nowhere to put them.

Sneaking in the night, for Zhou Shaoyu, who seems to be experienced, it is not a matter at all, and he even had a good time visiting the Daliang Palace, not to mention the house of a famous prostitute.

Considering that if it is too late, eighty percent of people will already be asleep, even if Zhou Shaoyu sneaks in, he can't do anything, because the timing is very important, not too early, too early is easy to be discovered by outsiders. It can't be too late, people must rest when it's late, patient.

For five days in a row, Zhou Shaoyu sneaked in and sneaked in again, either there were outsiders there, or he had already rested. On the sixth day, I finally ......

Although it is autumn now, the climate is still warm, not hot, not cold, and pleasant.

It's just that the festival has arrived, the leaves have fallen and the flowers are gone, and it is inevitable that there will be a little bleakness in the small courtyard.

Yan Lingbin sent the maid beside him, and lay on the couch in poor spirits, dressed in simple white clothes obviously for sleeping, not ordinary dress. Long hair shawl, slightly messy, no powder, but very pale due to illness.

After being stunned for a long time, a breeze blew outside the house, and a few petals flew into the house, Yan Lingbin pursed his bloodless lips, gasped a few times, supported himself to get up, slowly polished the ink, spread out the paper, and picked up the pen.

There are three or five breaths left, and there are two or three flowers left.

After writing two sentences, Yan Lingbin paused, it should be stuck. After a while, he finally let out a long sigh and lay down again.

Zhou Shaoyu's expression, who was peeking at all this, was somewhat complicated.

Up to now, Zhou Shaoyu has a lot of his own sisters, but it is really the first time to see a sick woman with such soft skin and weak body.

It can be seen that Yan Lingbin is not feeling well because of his illness, but from beginning to end, he has never shown sadness, and he is always a little unwilling in his heart, after all, no one would want to die in a good year. Judging from these two poems, there is also a bit of self-pity and sighing.

Originally, Zhou Shaoyu was still thinking about how he should have contact, but now it seems that there is no big problem.

Although outsiders don't think that Yan Lingbin will die, it is obvious that Yan Lingbin is no longer optimistic about himself. How can a dying person care about fearing too many people or things?

After thinking about it, he left for a while, took out the pen, ink and paper and wrote two more sentences, and when the ink was dried, Zhou Shaoyu climbed onto the roof, lifted a tile, floated the paper down, and then quickly re-covered the tile.

Then hide outside the house and see Yan Lingbin's reaction.

It's just a piece of paper, the direction of the fall is naturally not easy to control, and it is a coincidence, the original falling trajectory is obviously behind Yan Lingbin, and it will not be found if it is not good, I never thought that it was another gust of wind, but it was blown in by a side window, and the paper spun in mid-air a few times, and actually fell straight on the table on the couch.

Yan Lingbin was stunned for a moment, looked at the roof suspiciously, and then looked around, naturally he couldn't see anything unusual, he got up again with difficulty, looked at it, but saw a line of small characters written on the paper.

Say goodbye to a wine, and invite each other without a later stage.

"There are three or five breaths left, and there are two or three flowers left. Say goodbye to a wine, and invite each other without a later stage. Yan Lingbin muttered.

That's right, together it is a complete poem.

is ashamed to say that it is not how talented Zhou Shaoyu is, but the welfare of the traverser.

Now that he knows who the person he is about to meet, Zhou Shaoyu will naturally look through the historical records to learn more. Yan Lingbin's poems have very few circulation, and this poem "Calling Guests on the Death of Guests (Seeing Falling Flowers in Illness)" is one of the poems left behind.

Just looking at the poems, Zhou Shaoyu naturally can't know the story behind them, but it is not difficult to guess at the moment.

Occasionally, I felt that I wanted to compose a poem, but I only had the first two sentences. It wasn't until he dragged the sick body to meet again that he was completed.

Say goodbye to a wine, and invite each other without a later stage.

This is an eternal farewell. At this time, how many emotions will be contained in it? Helpless? Unwilling? Reluctant? Or is it free and calm?

For Zhou Shaoyu, who Yan Lingbin doesn't know yet, it can only be speculation now.

After a long time, Yan Lingbin forced himself into the boudoir, and when he came out again, he was already wearing a red-based colorful dress, his hair was also simply groomed, his face was a little red powder, his lips were red and tender, and he was obviously dressed up.

Sitting on the couch again, Yan Lingbin said loudly: "Now that the honored guest has arrived, you might as well come forward to talk about it." ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhou Shaoyu became more complicated.

Looking at Yan Lingbin's calm expression, how calm is this? Since he can say so, it shows that he has already guessed, but he didn't say a word, and he still supported the sick body to go back to the room to clean up, obviously thinking about showing his better side, instead of that sick look.

Everyone is already like this, Zhou Shaoyu naturally has no reason to continue to hide, straighten his clothes, stand up and step into the room, stop at the door, and arch his hand: "In the next Zhou Shaoyu, Tang suddenly visited, and looked at Haihan." ”

Zhou Shaoyu thought about many possibilities, but he didn't think of Yan Lingbin's next response.

I saw Yan Lingbin stand up, try his best, and then leaned sideways with his left hand, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Ye Luohua Xie, alone, it is inevitable to be lonely, there is a bosom friend here, but it is also a blessing, if Zhou Langjun does not dislike it, you might as well sit here for a while, how about accompanying the little woman who is not going to die?" ”

Not only did he not blame him, but he held himself very low, and the words he used made people feel comfortable listening to them. Zhou Shaoyu sighed in her heart, she deserved to be one of the only three who knew it, and she was at the peak of receiving people and things, but considering her current state, it made people feel sorry.

"So, I disturbed." Zhou Shaoyu is not a person who is pretentious and twisted, he bowed his hand again, stepped forward and officially entered, took off his shoes, sat cross-legged on the other side of the couch, and then stretched out his hand to the opposite side of the case, and said, "Yan Du, please." ”

Yan Lingbin was blessed with a little gratitude, and in order to avoid embarrassment, he could only move slowly on the couch, and then sat cross-legged on it.

Zhou Shaoyu smiled slightly, this woman is really a second person, the reason why she chose to sit cross-legged instead of kneeling more formally is also to take into account Yan Lingbin's state, after all, the two are just meeting for the first time, and the way is special, it stands to reason that how should you kneel and sit, but even if you are used to kneeling, it is by no means a comfortable posture, not to mention Yan Lingbin, who is seriously ill.

Obviously, the careful Yan Lingbin also discovered this, and only then did he have Fang Cai's eyes with a little gratitude.
