Although the largest capital of Zhongdu Luoyang, the Great Sui Dynasty, is still in war, for a capital with a population of one million, if you are just riding a small boat through the Luoshui River that flows through the city, you can still feel the prosperity and peace of this capital.
The hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city and the hungry people everywhere outside the city seemed to be separated from the high Luoyang city. There were still bustling traffic and crowds. The east and west cities were still prosperous in business, especially the wine shops and trample in the west market, which seemed to be more lively than before. The women in the brothels in red and green no longer appeared at night.
By the Luoshui River in Xicheng City, rows of carvings and painting pavilions were also filled with young women who were covered with powder in broad daylight, and they were glamorous and whispering to the passers-by. In front of the brothels, precious and gorgeous carriages could be seen everywhere. From time to time, you could see a few drunk and unconscious wealthy young men who were helped by the servants in the building and left by car.
"The business girl does not know the hatred of the country's destruction, and she still sings the back garden flowers across the river." In the Luoshui River, a young boatwoman was rafting by. On the bow of the boat, there was a young and elegant young man in white robe. The young man looked pretty and stood at the bow of the boat with his hands on his back. Looking at the prosperous scenery in the city, the corner of his mouth was sneering and chanting a poem gently.
The boat girl was rowing the boat while secretly looking up at the handsome young man from time to time. She was also a good lady in Luoyang City, but her father was conquered to the top of the city to guard the city when Li Mi was besieged in Luoyang, but unfortunately she was killed by a ravine. As soon as her father died, King Zheng had not yet entered Luoyang, and the city was panicked. In order to bury his father, the family had to sell the shop that had been living in the family. Later, King Zheng brought troops into Luoyang, and Luoyang settled down again, but her family had no support. In addition to her and her mother, there were three young brothers at home. In desperation, she sold her jewelry and her mother, rented the boat, showed up every day, boating on the Luoshui in the city, earning some copper money to maintain her family's life.
The boat girl has read a lot of poetry and books since she was a child, but she also understood the poems that the young master recited. Seeing the worry between the young master's eyebrows and the sarcasm of those rich and noble children who only know how to find joy and have fun, she admired him even more.
After several times of looking up, the boatwoman whispered softly, "Young Master is indeed a talented man. Not only is he talented, but he is also worried about the people of the world. It's really rare."
The handsome young man on the boat turned his head when he heard this. Seeing the woman's face flushed and her eyes were bright, she immediately saw the woman's thoughts, and her face was also hot. But she was not easy to answer, so she had to pretend to be calm and turn her head and look at the Luoshui shore. However, she accidentally discovered that the shore here was no longer as prosperous as before, and there were all the common people coming and going. However, under the willow trees on the shore, she still saw some young women wearing common clothes standing under the willow trees on the shore from time to time, looking around.
"Boat girl, are these women waiting for someone?" Junxiu Master found a topic and broke the awkward atmosphere.
The boatwoman looked at the shore when he heard the sound, but turned around in a hurry, and did not forget to spit at the woman on the shore. "Look at the young master, why is this so? The young master is here to find these shameless people today. If so, please get off the boat. I won't send you off." As he said that, he was about to lean towards the shore.
Junxiu was stunned when she heard this and said in confusion, "Is it because I was offending the girl just now, why did she suddenly change her face?"
The boatwoman looked up at the young master and found that it was not a fake, so he had to turn his head and whisper, "Young Master, don't look over there, those women are shameless, and they are all here to betray their bodies."
"Selling oneself? Why didn't you come here in the brothel?"
The boatwoman sighed quietly, "Since the thief army of Wagang besieged Luoyang, the life in the city has become more and more difficult. The prices of oil, salt, rice and vinegar have increased several times. It doesn't matter to those rich princes and noble families, but it makes us ordinary people suffer. There are chaos outside the city and they dare not leave the city. Many of the biotechnical skills that used to make life are too great. Every day, they eat up so little, but they can't resist the rise of grain and oil. Most of the people starve to death, and some shameless men let their wives and daughters come out to deal with this flesh-and-skin business. Those who grow better are all taken away by the brothels and Chu Pavilions. Even younger and more beautiful, they get boats and take customers in the river water in the city. Those who are older and have no capital for beauty have to stand on the shore and shamelessly attract customers."
When the boat girl said this, she sighed and angry. Originally, rafting on the Luoshui River was a very legitimate thing. If you put in some effort every day, you can earn money for the family to barely survive. However, since many women got a boat and did a laughing business on the river, others had different opinions about the boat girl on the Luoshui River. Every now and then, she could meet those frivolous people who came to find flowers and ask about things about the willows. If it weren't for the sake of livelihood, she could only persist, but I was afraid she wouldn't be the boat girl.
After listening quietly, the young man also felt helpless, and this was the case in the troubled times. Although the people in Luoyang City seemed embarrassed, they seemed to live in the sky compared to the people in other parts of the Central Plains. At least, with the protection of the city of Luoyang, there is no need to worry so much every day.
Thinking of these things, the young young man couldn't help but feel a little confused about his plan to go to Guanzhong. What exactly is the thing he is doing? The disputes in the world seem to be just a game between the powerful and the powerful. The real suffering is the people at the bottom. The more powerful the heroes in the troubled times fight, the more miserable the people will be.
The young young man sighed in his heart, Shen Luoyan, Shen Luoyan, why do you have to be mixed in this again? Just be an ordinary woman, obey the arrangements of the family father, marry and have children, wouldn’t it be better?
"The Shang girl did not know the hatred of the country's destruction, but she still sang the back garden flowers across the river." Shen Luoyan recited this sentence again. When she first heard this poem, she was shocked when she heard that it was written by Chen Pojun. The back garden flowers in this poem refer to the Yushu back garden flowers made by the Houzhu of the Chen Dynasty. This poem quotes this word to the world, but she clearly expressed her dissatisfaction with the Houzhu of the Chen Dynasty for a long time and regarded the country as a joke, and finally lost her country. Especially at the end of the Sui Dynasty, although the Chen Dynasty was not far away from the fall of the country, the monarchs of the Sui Dynasty are now continuing the behavior of the Houzhu of the Chen Dynasty, which makes people sigh.
"What kind of man is he?" Chen Luoyan stared into the distance, feeling that this cousin was becoming more and more like a mystery, making her feel that layers of mysterious mist yarns were surrounded by his body, and she could never see her true face.
As the legitimate grandson of the Later Chen Emperor, who criticized his grandfather, he was not the only legitimate son of the Southern Chen Emperor, he could ignore the huge territory of the Chen Dynasty and stay in Liaodong. Now, he has become the strongest force in the world, with strong troops and a large land.
Unconsciously, she remembered the letter from her father I received yesterday. Nanchen has done nothing for half a year, but has failed one after another. Although Nanchen still occupies the territory of dozens of counties, the total number of soldiers and horses in the hands of the major families in Nanchen is nearly 500,000 and elite soldiers is 200,000. But to now, these nobles in Nanchen seem to have gradually felt an urgent sense of crisis.
In the letter I received last night, my father, who was still in charge of the government of Southern Chen, mentioned the old things again, and mentioned that he wanted to marry herself to Hebei to Chen Pojun as his wife. After reading the letter, she couldn't help but feel a little complicated. When the Southern Chen re-established, she instantly seized dozens of counties in the Sui Dynasty and hundreds of thousands of troops, making her the largest force in the world. Her father and the ministers of Southern Chen from other aristocratic clans were not as good as they are now.
When they faced Chen Kefu, they never thought of any compromise. She had known that since her father's first proposal was not answered, her father had already started a second strategy. That was to marry her aunt to her uncle Chen Shen and quickly become the queen. As planned, the baby boy that her aunt and Chen Shen had just given birth to not long ago was originally planned to be crowned Prince Nan Chen.
But the current situation has changed, these aristocratic tribes in Southern Chen feel great pressure. Faced with the Liaodong Army, which has gradually become the number one force in the world, they hesitated again. Until now, they have raised the old things again, not only has they raised the issue of marrying Chen Kefu again. They also agreed that as long as Chen Kefu establishes himself as the queen and retains the current interests of all forces in Jiangnan, they can let Chen Shen abdicate the position of Emperor Chen to Chen Kefu.
Abdicate? Is it possible? And even if it is possible, with her current understanding of Chen Kefu, how could Chen Kefu care about these things? As long as she wants, Chen Kefu will come to take it himself. It’s ridiculous that these aristocratic tribes in Jiangnan still want to retain their current interests. They don’t look back and think about it. Just recently, the aristocratic tribes in Hebei, Shandong, Huaibei and other places were powerful and purged. Chen Kefu really made Jiangnan, for fear that these people would not cry. They actually wanted to make trouble with the tiger, but they didn’t think about it. Maybe they had already become a meal in his eyes in Chen Kefu’s eyes. If they didn’t come to eat them now, I believe it was just the time for them.
According to her previous style, she would refuse such a stupid plan without hesitation. However, from yesterday to the end, after thinking for a long time, she replied to her father a long letter, expressing her compliance with the arrangements of her father and family.
