Datang: Dad, I really didn't want to rebel!

Chapter 66 What a shame
Chapter 85 What a shame
Three days later, a team of about 200 people gathered at Qianjiang Wharf.

Li Chengqian and Yang Chen were impressively among them, and those 200 people were two hundred Wei soldiers, who were also Li Chengqian's bodyguards.

To go to Yangzhou, of course, you have to take a boat, which is the fastest way.

The Qianjiang River belongs to the Yangtze River Basin, and Yangzhou is on the Yangtze River, so you can go directly to the Yangzhou Wharf by boat.

"Your Highness, what are you going to Yangzhou for?"

Yu Shui watched the guards carry wooden boxes onto the ship one by one, and suddenly became curious.

Li Chengqian commanded the guards, then turned his head to look at Yu Shui, "It's nothing, it's just some small items. This king has heard that Yangzhou is rich and famous, so I want to go to Yangzhou to have a look."

Yu Shui was startled, his mung bean-sized eyes stared at the backs of the guards, and asked cautiously, "Your Highness, have you come up with something good again?"

Li Chengqian looked at him with a smile, and said earnestly: "Yu Shui, there was a man in the village outside the city who only lived to be 20 years old and died. How do you think he died?"

Yu Shui was taken aback for a moment, and then replied blankly, "Did of illness?"

Li Chengqian looked at him, and suddenly said viciously: "When he was 20 years old, he was beaten to death because he talked too much."

Yu Shui: "..."

...

With the wind and waves, against the wind...

Ah no, I went to the wrong set.

The boat sailed up the river, and the wind went smoothly. The three big ships headed east along the Qianjiang River, and soon merged into the Yangtze River at the Kuizhou Exchange.

It takes at least a month to walk from Qianzhou to Yangzhou for more than 1000 miles, because it is impossible for people to be on the road all day long.

But if you sail on the Yangtze River by boat, you don't have to consider the problem of rest.

After entering the Yangtze River, the speed of the boat increased significantly.

On this day, Li Chengqian stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the endless river, his heart was like the turbulent river, undulating.

With a long breath, Li Chengqian put his hands behind his back, and his white gown fluttered with the wind, which really had the artistic conception of "fluttering as if he was independent from the world, and ascended to immortality after becoming a feather".

"The great river goes east, the waves wash away, and a romantic person through the ages!"

"Your Highness, what a poem!"

At this moment, Yang Chen's slightly trembling voice sounded from behind him.

Then Yang Chen walked to Li Chengqian's side, looking at the river in front of him, his face was flushed with excitement.

"Your Highness, the poem you just said is really suitable for the occasion. I have never heard of it before. Could it be that you wrote it?" Yang Chen said a little excitedly.

Li Chengqian touched his nose, "It should be counted."

This song was written by Su Shi, but now, more than ten generations of Su Shi's ancestors have not yet been born, so even if Su Shi sues him for plagiarism, it is impossible.

"A good poem, it's really great. It matches the Yangtze River and uses the scenery as a metaphor for the environment. It makes people feel excited and makes people... people..."

Yang Chen's eyes widened in excitement, and he was so excited that he couldn't even speak.

Li Chengqian smiled calmly beside him, and said, "Does it give you the urge to jump into the river?"

"... "

...

Ten days later, Li Chengqian arrived in Yangzhou.

The peak of Yangzhou was not in the Song Dynasty, but in the Tang Dynasty.

After Yang Guang built the Grand Canal, it closely connected the north and the south, and Yangzhou became an important hub in the middle.

"The eight directions are called convergence, and the five reaches are like flat." It describes the prosperity of Yangzhou's economy.

At the beginning of Zhenguan, the whole country was waiting to be rejuvenated, and Li Shimin issued some policies to encourage the development of businessmen.

As a result, Yangzhou, an ancient city with the right time, right place and right people, instantly glowed with vitality.

In just a dozen years, Yangzhou has become the economic center of "many wealthy businessmen, rich jewels and rare treasures".

Ten miles of Qinhuai River and 24 bridges are all scenic spots in the ancient city of Yangzhou.

And these two scenic spots have their own scenery.

Like Shili Qinhuai, it is said that the first emperor of Qin visited Moling in Kuaiji in the east, and there was "wangqi" in this place, so he ordered to dig out the hills in the Fangshan and Shiyanshan areas in the southeast of today's Nanjing city, and guide Longzangpu north into the Yangtze River to break them.

In the Sui Dynasty, according to this legend, it was renamed Qinhuai, so it has the reputation of Ten Li Qinhuai.

Later, a poet named Du Mu wanted to go to Qinhuai to do some indescribable things, but because he had no money, he could only watch others have fun by the river.

Out of resentment, he wrote a poem.

"Smoky cage, cold water, moon cage and sand, mooring Qinhuai at night, near the restaurant!"

"A business woman doesn't know the hatred of subjugation, but she still sings the flowers in the backyard across the river!"

Because of Du Mu's "Parking the Qinhuai River", the name of the Qinhuai River began to prosper in the world.

And the 24th Bridge originated from Yang Guang.

24 Bridges does not mean that there are 24 bridges, but that there is a bridge called "24 Bridges".

There is such a legend: Emperor Sui Yang's cruise ship arrived in the western suburbs of Yangzhou, saw a small bridge, and asked what it was called.

The eunuch said he didn't know.

A favorite concubine said: "There are 23 princesses and concubines on the cruise ship, called 23jiao. I will give this bridge a name, let's call it 23 Bridge."

As a result, the eunuch said at this time that a concubine was pregnant, so there was a baby in her stomach.

Therefore, this bridge was finally called 24 Bridge.

As for why the 24 Bridge is famous...it is because of Du Mu.

It is said that after Du Mu sighed with emotion about the too expensive "business girl" beside the Qinhuai River, he walked to the 24th Bridge in a daze.

Everything along the Qinhuai River requires money, only these 24 bridges are free. Du Mu burst into tears with excitement, and immediately wrote "Send to Yangzhou Judge Han Chuo".

"On a moonlit night at the 24th bridge, where can the jade man teach me how to play the flute?"

The general meaning of these two poems is that if you don’t have money to go to Qinhuai, come to 24 Bridge for free prostitution.

Free stuff, it's just as nice.

The Qinhuai River is a section of the Grand Canal, on which flower boats shuttle, singers play the zither and drums, and dancers sway in competition.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Li Chengqian was dressed in fluttering white clothes and had an extraordinary demeanor. Naturally, he was a benefactor in the eyes of those famous prostitutes (a rich but not smart customer).

The pipa was plucked lightly three or two times, and the voice of a singer in plain dress followed the sound of the pipa, and the "Yan Le", which was both heart-shattering and full of tears, followed the wind of Xixi River.

"Hmph, it's really insulting!"

Yang Chen's face was dark, seeing those dancers scratching their heads and posing, he couldn't help but snort coldly.

Li Chengqian turned his head to look, and found that although his expression was ugly, there was a trace of envy in his eyes that couldn't be concealed.

Li Chengqian immediately understood that he and Lao Du were of the same kind, the kind who had lust but no money.

Tsk tsk, I really want to tell them that there are guys named Liu Yong and Tang Bohu in later generations who are also penniless, but they never pay for brothels.

In such a comparison, Yang Chen and Du Mu are weak.

"Yang Biejia, you can't say that. These singers have excellent skills in both singing and playing. "Yan Le" is originally a pastime and entertainment, and it complements the Qinhuai River."

The corner of Yang Chen's mouth twitched. Even though he was convinced by Li Chengqian, he didn't dare to agree with him at this moment.

"Hmph, it's disgraceful!"

It took a long time before he continued to sigh the same thing.

Li Chengqian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Yang Chen, it's not easy for you to travel all the way to Yangzhou, so go and have fun later."

At the end, before Yang Chen could speak, Li Chengqian added, "My king treats you."

"... "

Hearing this, the expression on Yang Chen's face instantly changed from sunny to cloudy, "Oh, Your Highness, this music is really nice, beautiful and beautiful, very suitable for the occasion..."
