In February, Tokyo's beams, new green willow branches sway in the wind, and the palaces and pavilions complement each other to form a scene.
The white paper money floating in the wind is like falling leaves, adding a bit of solemn and miserable feeling to the spring.
Longjin Bridge connects the north-south central axis avenue of Daliang City, and looks to the Zhuque Gate of the inner city in the north and the outer city’s handicrafts and commercial district in the east.
At this bridge, three men and women who seem to be inseparable from each other met by chance, and they glanced at each other in a hurry as if they were a different world...
Next to the streets of Longjin Bridge, a banner with the word Guo was hung at the door of the half-open blacksmith shop under the archway, and the shop was diagonally facing the Zhuque Avenue.
The stalls made of simple wooden boards outside were filled with newly forged farm tools and knives, and the bellows inside were thrust and whistled.
The red charcoal fire and the dark blue flame are much hotter inside than outside.
A tall and strong young man of eighteen or nineteen years old was sweating profusely on a hammer. He only wore a broken short-shot on his upper body, and his chest was not only open, but also his sleeves were torn away.
The wielding hammer blew out the sound of the wind, and the sweat was scattered with the trembling of the muscles, and the most primitive sense of power was scattered in the air.
This young man is called Shao Ge'er. He looks really good-looking. His two long arms and arms are made into thighs, his chest muscles are protruding, and his abdomen are evenly divided. This body is by no means something that a craftsman can practice because the lines are too well-proportioned.
Shao Ge'er joined the army at the age of fourteen. He is now a small leader of the imperial guard under Zhang Yongde, the commander in front of the palace. He practices archery for many years.
Bang!The power of this hammer suddenly became very strong, and Mars splashed, and a woman's whisper came from behind.
The young woman's gaze swept across Shao Ge'er, who was sweating all over her body without covering her clothes, quickly turned her head to avoid her. Her eyes drooped, and a shameful blush appeared on her face.
The basket she was carrying was tightly held in her arms, as if she was frightened by the violent pounding sound.
Her forehead was full, her eyes were big and bright, and her shabby coarse cloth dress could not cover her graceful body.
Her hair was wrapped in a piece of gray cloth, and she looked like a married woman at the same time, but she was not Shao Ge'er's wife, she just did laundry, cooked and did miscellaneous work here.
At this moment, pedestrians on the Zhuque Avenue diagonally opposite were hurriedly avoiding each other. People looked curiously and saw a large group of ceremonial guards coming towards the magnificent felt car.
Not only are there new cavalry guards riding tall horses and armor, but there are also many palace maids and eunuchs, flag umbrellas and plaques.
This situation must be the nobles in the Great Inner City. Sure enough, when everyone in the official sedan chair hurried to the side of the road and bent down respectfully.
Lady of Weiguo.A voice from the crowd below the archway here said.
Brother Shao also stopped swinging the hammer and stood beside the anvil and squinted his eyes to see from afar.
It was already afternoon, looking west from the handicraft commercial area on the east side of Zhuque Avenue, just facing the west-facing sun, which made people dare not open their eyes.
And the honorable lady's ceremonial guard is like the sun, making people afraid to look at her in awe?
The wife of Wei State, Fu, was born into the Fu family who was named king of three generations. His father Fu Yanqing was the King of Wei in Hebei. After the fall of the Tang Empire, he changed five surnames and five dynasties for more than 40 years, but no matter who became the emperor, the power and wealth of the Fu family were basically unaffected. Now, Fu Yanqing, the King of Wei, is a saint and prestige, and has been awarded the title of King of Wei, the governor of Tianxiong Army, and the prestige of Hebei.
The eldest daughter Fu first married the son of Li Shouzhen, the Han general, and Li Shouzhen, and his son failed to rise up and was killed; Fu became Guo Wei's adopted daughter, and then married Guo Wei's adopted son Chai Rong; Chai Rong inherited the throne in the first month of this year, and Fu was not far from the queen.
It is precisely such a woman who has always been in the sky. When she passed by Shao Ge'er's blacksmith shop, she suddenly lifted the bead curtain on the side of the cart, revealing her small face with bright eyes and white teeth.
Her eyes were vivid, as if she had great penetration. Even if it was a very wide road, she could still see the people here.
The person she was looking at was Shao Ge'er. With just one glance, she swept over Yulian dressed in a young woman next to her.
The gap between these three people is too big and should not have anything to do with it. It is very strange that the scene just now happened to these three people.
...When Mrs. Wei Guo put away the curtains, she sat upright in the gorgeous carriage, gently closing her eyes, as if closing her eyes to rest.
A fair and beautiful woman, her upper body is covered with a plain white base and light-patterned neck and half of her arms, with a faint Tang style, but it is much more restrained than the Tang Palace outfit; her sitting posture is very upright, with a slim shoulder and a slender neck, and she is born with a noble and dignified temperament, and she is high above and cannot be desecrated.
A few years ago, she didn't know how the young soldier appeared in the guards of the Fu family royal family's palace, and she didn't want to figure it out at all. However, when she got married to Li Shouzhen's mansion and saw the young soldier again, she felt a little familiar. It was not until Li Shouzhen and his son rebelled and were attacked by Guo Wei's army, that the man left a deep impression on Fu family.
At that time, the war was in chaos, and the Li family's house was in chaos. The murdered and fled to beg for mercy everywhere, but no one was still fighting to the death, because everything was hopeless and resistance was meaningless.
Fu did not want to accompany the rebellious Li family to be buried alive, so he hurriedly retreated into the inner palace. The sound of killing behind him was getting closer and closer. At this time, there was a man in armor who had not run away at the door of the inner palace, the familiar man.
He suddenly said from the side: Let me serve my wife for the last time.
She was already frightened and panicked, and didn't care about these strange words, so she hurriedly entered the door with the only remaining maid.
But there are still some sounds that cannot be erased in the depths of memory. The metal friction sound of the sword being unsheathed is so clear... The sword has no sense, but the person holding the sword should have consciousness. Maybe the sword also has a dying desolation, right?
With the roar of his roar and the barbaric collision of swords, was he rushing into a large group of pursuers alone?
Let me serve my wife for the last time.Why did he do this?
Fu frowned and a vague impression appeared in his mind again.
A drizzling morning, a ragged boy trembling with cold on the side of the road, and the scolding of the guards... Father, he is so good, please order someone to save him.
Please ask the wife to move.A female official knelt beside the car and said, her voice interrupting Fu's contemplation.
She walked slowly down by the palace maid holding her delicate arms. The eunuchs and palace maids immediately bent down and stood respectfully. No one dared to say a redundant word. People were full of awe of the esteemed persons and the momentum exuded by the towering and tall palaces behind them.
Only one official listened to the old man next to him whispering, and their sneaky actions were very conspicuous at this time.
Fu didn't care. She walked to a pair of sedan chairs, but instead waved her hand and asked the eunuch to come and speak.
The brother'er's name is Guo Shao, and he is a ten general (equivalent to the team leader) in the imperial guards. He is now in charge of Zhang Yongde, the commander in front of the hall, and is under the tent of the Xiaodi Army in front of the hall.The eunuch bowed clearly and said that it is said that this person defected to Commander Zhang in Hezhong in the first year of Gan You, who was good at shooting and should have joined the army before... The slave dared to speculate that this person might have been a remnant soldier under the command of Li Shouzhen, the governor of Hezhong.
Fu said softly: So that's it, no wonder I remember seeing him somewhere.
After she said that, she wanted to leave it out, but somehow a voice sounded like a sound in my ears again, allowing me to serve my wife for the last time.
It made her feel a little upset, so she blurted out: If you can see Zhang Yongde, let him take care of Guo Shao, this person has made merit when he was in the river...
Look.The eunuch responded respectfully.
After saying that, Fu felt much more relaxed and then asked: Has the government made a decision to lead the imperial army?
The eunuch lowered his voice and said: I feel that I am almost inseparable from all the people. Yesterday, Prime Minister Feng Dao dissuaded the officials from the army to fight, and his words were not as good as Emperor Taizong of Tang. Today, he was just a preacher...
After hearing this, Fu said nothing and turned around and turned into a sedan chair.
Of course, she did not want her second husband who had just married to take risks; but because she was named the Lady of Weiguo and had not yet become the Queen, she did not want to disobey Chai Rong's thoughts and advise him too much.
The one who wanted the new emperor Chai Rong to personally fight against the Khitan coalition of the Northern Han Dynasty.
The Northern Han ruler, who occupied Jinyang, had always wanted to learn from Shi Jingtang to use Khitan troops to go south to become the emperor of the Central Plains, and fought many wars. This time, the Zhou Taizu Guo Wei had just passed away, and the new king Chai Rong had not yet sat on the throne. The Northern Han ruler believed that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and once again joined forces with the Khitan army and the coalition forces to go south to defeat Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi Army in Luzhou, and intended to destroy the Zhou Dynasty.
Fu's family had been displaced and experienced the wars personally. She believed that it was unlikely that the Northern Han lord would drive south to destroy the Zhou Dynasty in this way, and the emperor did not need to fight in person.
But the emperor's mind may not only be to protect the country, but also to establish his prestige and stabilize the domestic situation through a war... If he loses himself in the battle, the consequences will be unimaginable.
But since the government has decided, it would be useless to dissuade him again.
Get off the sedan chair!With a sharp shout, Fu's sedan chair was carefully lifted up in the arms of her arms.In front of it is a deep palace, a world that ordinary people cannot imagine.
The white paper money floating in the wind is like falling leaves, adding a bit of solemn and miserable feeling to the spring.
