Chapter 588 Screen Storytelling
In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Kangfu, and in the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed Jiqing Road.

When Master Hongwu led his troops to drive away Hu Yuan, the name Yingtianfu was naturally changed.

And with the completion of the palace buildings in the city, even the locals who have lived here for generations have to admit that Yingtian Mansion is becoming more and more like a capital.

One hundred or so miles around the city and forty miles through the city, there are thirteen inner gates and eighteen outer gates.

There are twenty or thirty streets, four or five hundred alleys, six or seven hundred restaurants scattered among them, and eight or nine hundred tea shops on the streets.

If you have some spare money, you can rent a small boat and go down the Qinhuai River into the city. When the water is full, you can still see the paintings of boats, flutes and drums day and night, and the densely populated golden powder towers.

If you wait until evening and look at the hundreds of bright-cornered lanterns in the restaurants on both sides, reflecting like daylight, and the melancholy and euphemistic singing of the soft singing will become more and more touching, how can you say it is not a good place?

And just today, people all over the city can see cars and boats of dignitaries rushing to the Brahma Temple of the Biwa Zhulin Palace.

People who drink tea in the streets are the best informed. Seeing that some people don’t understand, they loudly said:

"Today is Grandpa Hongwu's birthday!"

The tea-drinking judges knew this, and many of them were envious.

But the envied nobles were all uneasy, but they could only bravely pass through the Hongwu Gate, pass through the Wulong Bridge and pass through the Chengtian Gate. The Yiluan Division laid out guards here layer by layer, and only after verifying the talismans one by one could they proceed. Enter the Meridian Gate.

After taking a short rest, we crossed the Inner Wulong Bridge, passed Fengtian Gate, bypassed Fengtian Hall and Huagai Hall, and then arrived at Jinshen Hall, the northernmost of the three main halls.

A banquet will be given here today. Those who are qualified to enter enter the hall in silence and take their seats under the gaze of Yiluan Si.

Seeing that more than half of the civil and military officials attending the banquet had arrived, the clever chamberlain walked out of the palace gate from the north and entered the back court. After passing the Qianqing and Jiaotai palaces, the Kunning Palace where the empress lived daily was in front of her.

The chamberlain trotted over and heard the emperor's loud voice:

"...Since you feel unwell, take a good rest. Let's eat less when we eat with the officials, and we can come over to have a meal together later."

Then a soft voice said slowly:
"Today is Chongba's first Tianshou Festival..."

So the waiter immediately stopped and took two steps back, trying hard not to hear anything.

Fortunately, after waiting for only a few breaths, he saw the emperor stepping out. The servant hurriedly went over and said that the Jinshen Palace was ready, and the only thing he needed was the emperor to go over.

Nodding, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty turned his head and added an instruction to his chamberlain:
"The imperial doctor said that the queen just caught a cold. In that case, he sent us our favorite screen in the Huagai Palace for the queen to use."

This was taken for granted, so while Empress Ma was still resting, she saw a chamberlain bringing in a rather luxurious screen. After putting it together, they all left out one by one. After all, the emperor had ordered The queen should rest today.

Wrapped in a quilt, she felt helpless, but since she was tired today, she planned to take a nap for the time being, and then talk to the housekeeper when he came back.

But at this moment, she saw that the side of the screen facing her had a sheen like water. When it smoothed out, the sculptures and decorations on the screen were no longer visible, only a shimmering light curtain. And a rather young-sounding voice:
【Hi hi hi hi! This is Wen Mang, the illiterate UP host. Today, as we said before, we will talk about the second half of the romance between the two Song Dynasties.

In the last issue, we mentioned that Wan Yangou, who was bent on peace, worked together with the peace faction at that time to murder Yue Wumu. This basically established the main tone of injustice in the founding of the Southern Song Dynasty. But even so, people with lofty ideals still stood up and sacrificed their lives for the ideals in their hearts. These people became the true backbone of the Southern Song Dynasty.

It also further highlights the despicability of people like Wanyan Gou. 】

Hallucination? miracle? Immortal opportunity? Auspicious?
The weak Queen Ma felt that her body was a little stiff, and she immediately wanted to call someone to find Chongba.

But thinking that the Tianshou Festival banquet in Jinshen Hall had probably already begun at this time, and the officials appeasing the ministers must also be very busy, she suddenly hesitated.

Otherwise... first let's see what the storyteller in this light curtain says?
She is really not unfamiliar with this. After all, discussing history and politics was a profession that existed in the Song Dynasty.

Thinking about it, when she first entered Yingtian Mansion, she also heard the Tang Dynasty and the Three Kingdoms talked about twice in the restaurant. As for the Song Dynasty... Unfortunately, Yue Wumu had already said it. She also went to Yingtian Mansion's old fortress to pay tribute to this A hero, didn't you expect that you just missed him?
At this moment, Queen Ma felt that her physical fatigue had eased a lot, and she even wanted to ask the palace maid to bring a fruit plate or two, but considering that there were too many people in the palace who could not control her mouth, she had to give up first.

And listening to the young storyteller's cadence, she also saw lines of small words that seemed to float across the light screen, all of which were words that she could only half understand.

〖Personally, I feel that there were still a few ambitious and weak emperors in the Southern Song Dynasty. Their inability to accomplish anything was more due to Sima Gou's inheritance of the Northern Song Dynasty's elimination of elites and Cunwu, plus the fact that Mongolia was indeed invincible later on.

Whenever you feel that the Southern Song Dynasty is stretching your hips, open a book and read about the Southern Ming Dynasty. Oh, the Southern Song Dynasty seems to be okay too.

In the late Southern Song Dynasty, Jia Sidao did a good job in reforming and extending his life. Although he didn't do anything big, he still saw the Jin Kingdom die in front of him. The history of the Southern Ming Dynasty... I really don't want to watch it a second time, little spicy chicken The fighter among them belongs to the category.

The Southern Song Dynasty was indeed a standard separatist regime. The only way for Nanming to win was to go to the tropical rainforest to participate in the Monkey King Competition.

Don't let the eldest brother laugh at the second brother if he is worse than the others. Isn't the Southern Song Dynasty also the kind of people who can't save even if they fall from the sky?

At that time, the Southern Song Dynasty was still waiting for chopsticks and small bowls of onions, ginger and garlic to fall from the sky. 〗

In Tang Chang'an, in the Manna Palace, Li Shimin watched the light curtain rise again, and the voice of the younger generation sounded again, and he immediately sighed with satisfaction.

It is now the beginning of April of the sixth year of Zhenguan, and looking back on the fifth year of Zhenguan last year to the present, it is true that as Guang Mu said a long time ago, the domestic weather has been favorable and there have been no natural disasters.

Last year, Tuyuhun was defeated, but the actual use of troops before and after it only lasted four months.

More than 20,000 troops were sent, and 120,000 Tuyuhun cattle and sheep were obtained. Qinghai could even buy a horse farm and a salt factory. No matter how you look at it, it was a pure profit.

As for Li Shiji and Liu Rengui's eastward journey reported by Dengzhou, the same was true. The only supplies provided by the Tang Dynasty were the ordnance and canned goods needed by this navy. The grain, grass, vegetables and fruits were provided by the combined efforts of the Silla, Baekje and Japanese countries, and no domestic supplies were needed. Take the trouble.

Another piece of good news is that the Linyi national rice seeds were sent back from Zhuya. Sinong Temple has already arranged for manpower to test-plant them to see how effective they are.

As for Hou Junji's autograph letter sent back with the rice seeds, Li Shimin also read it and made a decision.

Li Jing took his precious apprentice Pei Xingjian to Yizhou Island to form a new naval force there.

Just waiting to advance with Jiaozhou by sea to destroy the unconquered ministers of Linyi State, and proclaim the martial virtues of the Tang Dynasty in Nanyang, it can also be regarded as giving support to Hou Junji.
