Apart from that, there was also a historical legend about Luoyang Peony. It was said that Wu Zetian, a descendant of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem on a snowy day in the middle of winter. She took advantage of the drunken mood to write an imperial edict," Tomorrow, you will visit Shangyuan, quickly announce the arrival of spring, and send out your whiskers overnight, don't wait for the morning wind to blow." The flowers were frightened by this fate and bloomed overnight. Only the peony resisted the decree and did not bloom. Wu Zetian flew into a rage and demoted Peony to Luoyang. The strong and unyielding peonies bloomed as soon as they arrived in Luoyang. This angered Empress Wu even more and she ordered the peonies to be burned. Although the branches were burnt, the peonies bloomed even more in the spring of the second year. Because of this, by the Northern Song Dynasty, it had developed to the extent that "every family in Luoyang has flowers" and "all gardens are covered with peonies".
Se Wujie had just woken up from his sleep, but now that he was in such a deep and serene place, he felt as if he had become an immortal. That kind of ethereal feeling seemed to be something that could only be experienced personally. Unknowingly, Se Wujie fell asleep. When he woke up, two hours had passed. At this moment, the sun shone on his body and he felt a little dry and hot. In addition to the emptiness in his stomach, he could only leave this rare peony garden.
Se Wujie traveled west and arrived at the city gate of Luoyang in Henan Province in less than half a morning. Luoyang was indeed a famous historical city. Lu Yi came and went endlessly. There were compradors leaving the city and merchants entering the city. They seemed to be in a hurry. Although everyone brushed past each other, they seemed so cold and silent that no one was willing to stay for a moment. Se Wujie watched from the side and saw that the city gate was blocked by thorny wooden strips. No more than three people could pass at a time. Two soldiers stood on both sides with spears in their hands. A military officer and two soldiers were inspecting the merchants one by one. They seemed to be very serious, but as long as one's behavior was not strange and one's appearance was not special, they would generally pass. Some exceptions were captured. Therefore, the passersby did not dare to show any unusual behavior, afraid that they would be arrested for no reason.
Se Wujie watched from the side for a while. It was chaotic times now, so it was reasonable for the Northern Song government to do this. Looking at his own attire, he was ready to enter the city. Suddenly, she heard a little girl crying loudly on the street. Her hands were soft and her eyes were soft as she called out for her mother. This immediately attracted Song Bing's attention. The military official and two soldiers walked over. Just as they were about to question the little girl, a middle-aged woman squeezed through the crowd and said,"Mommy is here, Mommy is here. Sir, she's my daughter. I went to buy candied haws for my daughter just now. I didn't expect her to cry like this in just a short while. I'm really sorry.”
The little girl was originally in tears, but when she saw her mother, she immediately stopped crying. She took the candied haws from her mother's hands and started eating. The military officer came over without saying a word. He just watched and saw the woman muttering. Judging from her accent, the woman was from Hebei. Now that an uprising led by Song Jiang had broken out in Hebei, he suspected that she was a spy. After discussing with the two soldiers beside him for a while, one of the soldiers took out an iron chain from his waist and trapped the woman.
The woman felt a strange feeling and said nervously,""Sir, what are you doing? I'm a good woman and I didn't do anything bad. Why would I arrest someone for no reason?”In the short time it took to brew a cup of tea, the city gate was suddenly packed with people. They watched from the side, but they didn't dare to talk about it, afraid that they would be arrested. When the little girl saw that her mother was tied up, she immediately covered her face and cried. She cried as if her tears would never run out. She grabbed her mother's hand and shouted,"Don't grab my mother, don't grab my mother."”
The military official said," I see that your appearance is suspicious. I suspect that you are a spy sent by the Song Jiang Revolutionary Army. I am now escorting you back to the government office for interrogation."”"Who is Song Jiang?" the woman asked. I don't know him, and I'm not a spy. You have to be observant. Don't malign a commoner like me.”The military official was a little impatient. He grabbed the woman's shoulder with his right hand and said,"Cut the crap. Do you think I'll accuse you wrongly? When you reach the government office, it's not up to you to print.”As he spoke, he dragged the woman away. The military official found her troublesome, so he flung his right hand and pushed the little girl to the ground. The military official's hands were filled with strength, and the little girl was so weak that she could not stand a gust of wind. After being pushed by him, her entire body fell to the ground, and a trace of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.
The woman's heart ached for her daughter." I'll go with you," she begged." Don't hurt my daughter."”She wanted to go up and help him up, but she was chained up. Naturally, she could not do it.
The military official said," That's naturally better. I won't make things difficult for a child. Let's go."”As she turned around, she felt a sharp pain on the back of her hand. It turned out that after the little girl was pushed to the ground, she ignored her own pain and pounced on the military official to bite him fiercely. It was as if she was using all her strength.
