Tang Qi Tan

However, Jiang Tian caught a glimpse that Mrs. Zheng was helped back.And the person who was in charge of supporting Mrs. Zheng was a court lady with a low-cut skirt and tufted temples; judging from the texture and material of the skirt, it was not like an ordinary court lady who lived in Yongxiang, but from a certain nobleman. escort.

Sure enough, after seeing the girl who ran out of the door to greet her, Madam Zheng, who had been in a daze, couldn't help cheering up and said, "Wan'er, come and see me, this is Song Nvshi, who is also the handkerchief given by my mother; in the future , and Song Nushi will teach you some palace rules."

"Nu Nu has seen Aunt Song," but the girl bowed to her heart and said, "It's a poor house, please come in to see the salute."When Song Nvshi saw this, she couldn't help showing a smile and said: "I really feel sorry for the good boy. I didn't expect that Yongxiang could raise such a talented person."

After exchanging pleasantries and debates, the well-behaved and impeccable Song female history left quietly.Madam Zheng also introduced the origin of this Song female history to Jiang Tian who reappeared.There are six ranks and 24 divisions of female officials in the palace, and the female history is the lowest level of unpopular grades.

However, according to the ministry they each share, there are also differences.For example, this female history of the Song Dynasty is one of the few acquaintances that Madam Zheng made in the palace by chance in her early years.Because, she originally served an old concubine, Yuan Shi, who was also Taizong's palace servant.

But in the absence of children, it is hard enough to live until now, just like the existence of people in the harem; therefore, even if it is the contemporary era when Empress Wu is in the midst of the palace, she will not deliberately target it. It seems to be an old bone that is silent and harmless to humans and animals.

Therefore, as the female Shi Song who is responsible for taking care of the Yuan concubine on a daily basis, she not only has a relatively detached position and identity, but also has enough cleanliness and leisure to take time to teach others;But if you want to impress the other party to teach in private, it is not so simple;

Apparently Madam Zheng had expected and planned for this a long time ago.And Jiang Tian's appearance is just to strengthen her belief and determination in advance.So the mother and daughter kept chattering all night, and Jiang Tian also started to parkour again among the palaces and gardens, exploring and getting familiar with the environment.

However, after the Ghost Festival, the girl fell ill.Because I was greedy on the roof and ate too many snacks; in order to cover up, I reluctantly ate the snacks brought back by Mrs. Zheng.As a result, he hugged his stomach all night and screamed for pain, and now he can only lie on the bed moaning, swallowing the medicinal soup reluctantly.

But it's not without other good news. The mother and daughter can finally move.Two days later, the little servant Lin was appointed as the supervisor of the neighborhood; he also tacitly reciprocated and re-arranged a residence for the mother and daughter with a slightly better environment and conditions.

Although it is still within the square area of ​​the South Lane, the location is closer, and the East Lane is where the low-quality female officials and women who are waiting to be drafted live.Although there are only three houses inside, the courtyard is more spacious; moreover, there are no other people living in the courtyard, and the furnishings are more complete.

In addition, the courtyard is located at the end of a laneway.Behind is an uninhabited abandoned house, and on the left is an empty curved pond and water channel; only behind the high wall and the fence gate on the right near the east alley, you can hear the noise of daily life from the other side; it is clean and peaceful. convenient.

Of course, except that there are some rumors about the haunting of the abandoned house nearby, there are ghosts lingering; and there are not many residents in the whole alley, which is a harmless embellishment.Madam Zheng was obviously very popular in the workshop, and a dozen or so people offered to help when they were moving.

Then, after she confirmed that she would still keep in touch with her in the future, a group of women headed by Aqiu reluctantly went in; immediately afterwards, there was another group leader who claimed to live in a nearby street, a woman who claimed to be Guo Niang. A middle-aged woman came to pay a visit with a bag of thick dim sum.

After testing the attitude of being peaceful with each other in words, he turned around and brought some people to fetch a few loads of water; he washed the courtyard once, and filled the water tank everywhere; then he took the pills presented by Mrs. Leave a promise that in the future, two people will be sent over regularly to clean the outside room.

Then, a third wave of people came to the door; it was the old palace man who was in charge of the street within the east lane of the partition wall.The other person who was full of gossip didn't stay for long, just like an old woman with a bad mouth, she babbled gossip, envied that she had a female Chenghuan under her knees, and felt sorry for herself.

However, when the other party was finally sent away, Madam Zheng whispered to her daughter: "This old woman said a lot of insignificant things, just to hint and warn the concubine in disguise; Alley, turn a blind eye and listen to it."

"Could it be to prevent you from accidentally seeing the medicine dregs that you dealt with at night?" Jiang Tian couldn't help but chuckled: but he remembered a legendary allusion.And the girl couldn't help but asked curiously: "Mr. Li, I don't know what the reason is for this medicine dregs?"

"Then do you know the allusion of Jia Nanfeng in the Western Jin Dynasty?" Jiang Tian chuckled and said, "It's that generation of poisonous women who are extremely ugly and jealous;" Hearing this, Madam Zheng blushed faintly, and gently Intuit said: "This is not to look at evil, do not speak evil."

"Then let me tell you about the story of looking for immortals related to contemporary times?" Jiang Tian moved his paw indifferently and said: "It is said that in this dynasty, there was a handsome young man, a poor scholar, who met a chariot and horse who claimed to be an immortal during a night tour. , strayed into the Fuhua Cave, and became attached to many fairy girls for many days before being released."

"Of course, when they were finally found by relatives and family members, most of them drank the immortal wine of forgetting their souls, and they were in a trance, and they didn't know where to go; they were sallow and emaciated wandering in the wilderness; only the golden treasure left by their side Things can be a witness, so there are many marketers competing for it."

"These young people who have encountered immortals. It's nothing more than a trance, why are they yellow and thin?" The girl grasped the point again as expected; however, Madam Zheng's face turned pale, and she begged in a soft voice: "Beacon Mr. Nu, please keep your virtue in your mouth."

"Okay, I'm just warning you in advance." Jiang Tian also said just enough: "Whether you encounter fairy fate or medicine dregs, you will not be able to escape the past after all in this palace for a long time. If you want to clean yourselves or If you stay out of it, you have to pay more price and effort.”

"In that case, I can only thank Mr. Li Nu for protecting you in secret." Mrs. Zheng followed the trend and took out a seemingly blank note from her cuff: "This is the sincerity of my concubine. Why, don’t you want the current anecdotes from the government and the public and news from outside the palace?”

Afterwards, in the smell of acetic acid emitted by the lightly roasted candle, lines of text gradually appeared on the memo; Jiang Tian couldn't help but look at it with admiration in a little surprise: "So, you really got it from outside the palace." After getting the news, do you know the risks and relationships inside and outside the secret communication?"

"My concubine is just a mother who wants to protect herself." Mrs. Zheng said softly with a determined face: "But since Mr. Li Nu gave me this opportunity, I don't want her to miss it. , and there will be regrets and regrets in the future..."

"If that's the case, then listen to me, don't ask someone to send news into the palace." Jiang Tian also said seriously after hearing the words: "Especially this kind of paper evidence, as long as the person who handles it lives for a day, it is really too much. It’s a place where you can make use of it, and you can make sure that no one is secretly paying attention.”

"Whether you want to send a message or receive a reply from outside the palace, just agree with the other party to a secluded place close to the palace wall; I will naturally collect it according to the mark; it also reduces the risk of being noticed. Even if you miss it occasionally If you don’t want me, you have room to maneuver and deal with it.”

"Yes, this is my concubine's lack of thoughtfulness." Mrs. Zheng said in a submissive respectful voice: "Thank you, Mr. Li Nu, for your suggestion. I will ask for more advice in the future."Then, Jiang Tian focused on this note; because although he knew the specific age, he only had a general impression of the corresponding history.

Therefore, Jiang Tian also needs more information from outside the palace to verify and compare one by one, so that he can deduce the major historical events and possible evolution process that may happen next.But unexpectedly, Madam Zheng managed to get the source of the news directly from outside the palace.

He originally planned to slowly explore the terrain in the palace, and find the Ministry of Zhongshu, or the Ministry of Internal Affairs, or the Academy of Sciences who is on duty in the Ouchi; how about directly checking the memorials and documents sealed inside?However, since someone is willing to take the risk of providing information, Jiang Tian doesn't mind saving worry and trouble.

The first item on the memo is the famous defeat in Tang history; four years ago in the first year of Xianheng (671), Xue Rengui, the general of Youweiwei and the head of the Luosuodao march, was in Dafeichuan (now southwest of Gonghe County, Qinghai). Qieji Kuangyuan), defeated the 40 army led by Tubo Xianglun Qinling.

The Tuyuhun Restoration War supported by the Tang Dynasty failed, and Tubo took advantage of the situation in April and captured eighteen states including Baizhou in the Western Regions.The lands of Tuyuhun, Shanshan, and Qiemo were formally controlled by Tubo.So far, the offense and defense around the four towns of Anxi began, and the long-term tug-of-war between Tang and Tubo began.

The most recent news is that in the first month of the fifth year of Xianheng/the first year of Shangyuan (June [-]), Jin Famin, the king of Silla, not only accepted the rebels of Korea, but also occupied the old place of Baekje; His younger brother, You Xiaowei, General Wai, and Gong Renwen of Linhai County, became the king of Silla and escorted him back to the country.

As for Xu Jingzong, who was the first to report against the Shangguan family for treason, he has passed away for more than two years after he became an official as the prince's junior teacher and Jiatong Dongxitai third rank.In addition, Sun Simiao, the famous "King of Medicine" in later generations, has just passed away and returned home at the age of 130 years old.

Another example is that the current Prince Li Hong who supervises the country is weak and sick, and all matters are entrusted to his close ministers.There is another important clown in Wu Zhou's unofficial history, Wu Chengsi, the son of Wu Yuanshuang, Wu Zetian's half brother, was recruited into the capital to inherit the family, and at the same time worshiped as Shangyi Fengyu and Zong Zhengqing.

Therefore, there is really not much useful news in it; the only thing that triggered the memory of Jiang Tian's later generations was probably not long after, the last royal family of the Persian Sassanian Dynasty, who was also the governor of the Persian Governor's Mansion conferred by the Tang Dynasty, and the last prince Belus came back again. After the failure of the kingdom, it entered the Tang Dynasty.

Even so, Jiang Tian asked the girl to re-copy the messages, and then burned them to ashes.Then, he answered some specific questions that the mother and daughter raised on the spot; in this way, if they encounter them in the future, they can also play by ear.

"Understanding this is of course not to make you care about the government, but to cultivate your overall view and vision." Jiang Tian finally explained: "In this way, if there is any disturbance in the future, you can understand the situation behind it faster than others root and risk crisis."

However, at this time, there was a strong knock on the door from outside: "Is Mrs. Zheng here? I have a question from Shang Gong Bureau..." (End of this chapter)
