The night was as dark as water. Although the sky was completely dark, the capital was not quiet, but it was more lively than during the day.

The prosperity of business has brought a lot of benefits to the night market. Merchants holding money in their hands have begun to work hard to create various false heads to attract the attention of the people.

As soon as it got dark, various stages circled around the outside of the imperial city.

Although the scale is not large, singers invited from all over the world take turns singing small songs, and the artists who are wandering around the world show off their affair, has long attracted a lot of people's attention.

Although the capital has just experienced a great war and all industries are waiting to be developed, after all, more than a month has passed, and the emperor's various pacification strategies have made the people in the capital feel the great grace of the emperor. The people in the capital who have been holding it in for almost half a year can finally come out to exhale freely.

In fact, night markets in Beijing have not been frequent this month, and the destructive power of war is still there. In addition to the small impact of several large merchants, merchants from the West have suffered a lot of impact. Many people went bankrupt overnight, and the shops left in Beijing were closed early in the morning. Those who could barely survive were trying to make money to restore their former glory. Such a strategy of consuming a lot of money to hire a opera troupe to make gimmicks is still not easy to try, and the level of liveliness is inevitably reduced.

But the merchant's recovery ability was comparable to that of the generals who were resurrected in full blood, and they all came alive in just one month.

The shops that were not open in the past and the vendors who walked around the streets came almost all overnight.

There are many people, many goods, and many beauties, and the streets are bustling.

As usual, all restaurants and restaurants in bustling areas are full of, and all popular brothels are filled with laughter.

Wherever there is a juggling place, there must be a shout higher than another.

All kinds of snacks from north to south are filled with the capital.

In such an atmosphere, even the people who worked for a hundred days could not help but temptation to lead the whole family out to walk around. Even if the children were clamoring for this and that made adults feel irritated, the bustling scene and lively atmosphere still covered up all this.

The wealthy families even found the restaurant early, leaning against the window, a pot of wine, a few plates of side dishes, and three or five friends said something irrelevant, occasionally lowering their heads and looking down a few times, and seeing the lively atmosphere of life.

Of course, compared to the lively streets, the most enviable thing is a trick.

The best position gives the most attractive value. Those girls dressed in colorful clothes and beautiful faces stood against the door. The charming face and charming smile blew the delicate figure of Jiangnan up and down, like a painting that makes people addicted to calligraphy and painting.

Coupled with the pleasant sound of silk and bamboo, the passers-by couldn't help but take a look. He walked in with a bold laugh, holding the girl's wrist and laughing.

The timid one couldn't help but think about his pocket. When he had too much money, he hesitated whether to go in and take a look.

If you lose money, you will be self-deprecating and shook your head and said: Girl, it’s not that your elder brother doesn’t like you, it’s that this silver is unreliable. Such a poor and sad state is bound to make you laugh.

Of course, there were also a few well-educated scholars who shook their heads and recited poems, fiddled with the paper fan in their hands, savored it carefully, and after expressing such emotion, they entered the restaurant and never came out again.

It took a long time to say: Spring is not old, the wind is fine, the willows are slanted. Try to look on the transcendent platform, half a trench of spring water is a city of flowers. Misty rain is dark, thousands of families are in the cold food. After the cold food, I wake up and sigh. Don’t think about my old country with old friends, and try new tea with new fire. Poetry and wine take advantage of my years.

Compared to Zhao's wantonness and liveliness, Dengshikou Street located in the southeast of Zhao seems much deserted. Although this street formed a commercial street since Emperor Yongle at that time, shops gathered. Every night from the first to the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, shops on the street

The restaurants all hung colorful lanterns, colorful and brightly lit. There were gauze lanterns, paper lanterns, wheat straw lanterns, five-color bright corner lanterns, etc., from the noisy market during the day, they suddenly turned into a dazzling street of lights, but this was the past.

The past is like the wind passing by.

There is no more glory.

After the transformation of the three orthodox generations of Hong Xi and Xuande, the street is still this street.

But prosperity is no longer there. With the rise of Qipan Hutong, Dengshikou Street became even more depressed. Not only did there be no lanterns, but the city disappeared, leaving only the place name Dengshikou.

Those who can come here to sit and watch are almost all officials, but the reason is not complicated - remembrance.

Any official who has experienced a brilliant scene always has a nostalgic meaning in his bones.

This is true for Wang Zhi and Yu Qian.

It was just dark, and more than a dozen sedans came along the Qipan Hutong. Such a spectacular scene rarely appeared in other places except when they appeared outside the Meridian Gate during the morning court every day, let alone on a deserted street like Dengshikou Street.

It is beneficial to being deserted. At least you don’t have to worry about the road being bet on such a scene, and you can’t get up or down.

The sedan chair stopped in front of a restaurant called Tianxianglou. More than a dozen officials in official uniforms got out of the sedan chair and someone led them into the restaurant.

The restaurant is called Tianxiang Tower, not fragrant or spectacular. Instead, it seems a bit dilapidated because it is in an inconspicuous area on Dengshikou Street. In the past, these powerful and powerful officials would not come here even if they were beaten to death. But today is not as good as before. The leader is Yu Qian, the Minister of War.

The biggest feature of this celebrity in front of the prime minister is his strength. When encountering unpleasant things, he always pats his chest and sighs: I don’t know where this passion will spread! He looks down on those cowardly and incompetent ministers, ministers, royal relatives, and therefore many people hate him.

Xu Feng was scolded by Lord Yu for his proposal to move the capital to Nanjing. He was forced to change his name to Youzhen, which was easier to be promoted and used. Lord Xu hated this humiliation to the core and often gritted his teeth and hated Yu Qian. In addition to this unpopularity, the biggest problem was that he was too self-disciplined. In the war half a year ago, he commanded the army to repel Cao Jixiang's attack on Beijing. Because of his merits, he was appointed as the Minister of War. His life was still simple and frugal.

The house he lived in could only cover up the wind and rain. The emperor gave him the mansion of Xihuamen and refused: How difficult is the country, how dare the ministers live on their own? He refused firmly, but the emperor was not allowed. So he sealed all the seals, robes, silver ingots and the like that he rewarded before the emperor and put them there. He went to see it every year. With such a master in front, the officials behind him could not get any money. What was the purpose of being an official for ten years? It was not for this benefit.
