Chapter 388 (1/2)
Since the emperor's expedition, Li Hong went to the Zhenguan palace to meet Wu Mei in each of the three Court meetings in Luoyang. However, Wu Mei did not even ask about the political affairs of the court.
However, in recent days, he summoned a Luoyang gardener every day. He ran to Luoyang palace two or three times a day, which made Li Hong puzzled. How could a little gardener make long Ma so interested.
Sitting in the Zhenguan palace, Li Dan and Li Lingyue are teasing each other. Li Dan, a little fat man, has lost a lot of weight recently. He has lost a lot of weight. He seems to be more intelligent and less honest and honest to be bullied by Li Lingyue. However, he has been bullied by Li Lingyue.
, ”maidservant has seen his royal highness, has seen the royal highness of princess, his royal highness, and the gardener song single father has gone to the back garden. He is introducing the peony flower that has been replanted from Changan to the queen, asking if you want to go.” The maid said cleverly.
”Peony?” Li hongleng, Luoyang peony is indeed the world's first, but at this time, the prevalence of peony is still in Chang'an.
At least in the Tang Dynasty, the peony has always been popular in Chang'an. Although the soil of Chang'an is better than that of Luoyang, the soil of Luoyang is more suitable for peony. However, when people talk about peony, they will naturally talk about it.
”Yeah Go, go, go, see the peony. ” Li Lingyue jumped down from the chair excitedly, took Li Hong's big hand, and waved to Li Dan on the side.
”Brother Huang, I'm not going.” Li Dan's words flickered and he did not look into Li Hong's eyes.
”What do you want to do? There's nothing to eat in the Zhenguan temple. When I knew you came, I'd hide all the maids in the palace. If you want to eat, go to the East Palace and let the summer solstice take you there. ” Li Hong knows a lot about Li Dan. Looking at the little guy's appearance, he knows that during lunch, he was ordered to lose weight by the dragon mother, and now he is probably hungry again.
Li Dan, who was just ten years old, brightened up as soon as he heard that there was something to eat in the east palace. However, after looking at Li Lingyue, who was wrinkled with her pretty nose, he was afraid that Li Lingyue would go to the Empress Dowager to complain. In case there was no food in the evening, he would be in trouble.
”Don't worry, Li Lingyue won't say it.” Li Hong motioned for the summer solstice to take Li Dan away. He and Li Lingyue took Bai chun to the garden to see what the mother and empress wanted to cultivate peony in Luoyang.
In myths and legends, it is because the Empress Dowager was so angry that she drove the Peony from Chang'an to Luoyang. According to legend, when Wu Mei was enjoying the snow scenery in winter, she saw a flame in the snow, but on closer inspection, it turned out to be a red plum blossom in full bloom.
Wu Mei sighed at the blooming red plum blossom, but the people who accompanied her to watch the snow flattered her and said, ”no matter how good the plum blossom is, it will be more beautiful if you make a decree to let all flowers bloom in the garden.”
Since there are flattering people nearby, there are relatively honest people who say: ”it's timely to beautify and bloom in cold winter. If you want a hundred flowers to bloom, it's better to wait for the next spring.”
”It's no surprise that flowers bloom in spring. It's my wish to see all the flowers fighting the snow
Therefore, the poem is written in the morning. Don't wait for the wind to blow. ” Then he ordered people to burn it and report to the God of flowers that he knew.
In the early morning of the next day, all the flowers in Shangyuan vied to open, but the peony did not open. So Wu Mei, in a rage, set fire to Chang'an peony, leaving none of them.
In the end, he was still angry and ordered to root out the peony and drive it out of Chang'an and throw it to Mang Mountain in Luoyang.
Although Li Hong did not know how such myths and legends came into being, it can be imagined that when Wu Mei became emperor, she would never be described as a gentle and intelligent woman in the history books.
I'm afraid that even after Li Hong's death, he will not be able to say that even after his death.
Is it because she is so arrogant that she feels that she has made great achievements, and that any comment seems insignificant to her and that no one is qualified to evaluate her? Wu Mei has seen through the people's heart for a long time. It is better for Wu Mei to stand on the stele without words and leave a thousand year legend between heaven and earth.
Wu Mei listened to Li Hong's myths and legends. While appreciating the colorful and colorful peony flowers, Wu Mei said faintly, ”I see, you're a myth out of nothing. You're absolutely stupid and have no logic to speak of. The story maker is not a broad-minded person, so slandering is really a villain's behavior.”
”Ah, why does the empress mother say so? The Queen Mother demoted the peony flowers to Luoyang because they didn't bloom. It's natural that the Queen Mother's cruel and merciless character is also in line with it Li Hong told his dragon mother the whole story, but changed the subject from his dragon mother to his queen mother.
As for the place name, Chang'an and Luoyang, Li Hong didn't even bother to change, so he just used Chang'an and Luoyang to describe it directly. After all, Chang'an still has a Han Dynasty City, which is not. In this way, the empress mother will not suspect herself.
