Chapter 319 How should Gaozu ask for his dream?
Because Liu Miao and Jinse had an old friend, Li Su was not convenient to deliberately drive Liu Miao away in order to avoid suspicion, so he had to go with the flow and leave her at her house for dinner together, and watch the lanterns and watch the moon.
People in the Han Dynasty celebrated the Lantern Festival more for sacrifices and rituals, not for fun, so most celebrations are held during the day.
When Li Su was in Luoyang, he saw the memorial service hosted by Emperor Ling of Han, and was fortunate to talk about the memorial service. Although Liu Bei is not so particular, he cannot be completely exempt from the common people.
After the memorial service and lunch banquet, there were no official activities at night, nor folk customs for lantern viewing. These were only possible when the Tang and Song dynasties developed. However, Li Su always felt that there were too few entertainment activities in this era, and there was no fun for the Lantern Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, so he asked craftsmen to make some fancy lanterns to play with.
After all, Liu Miao was only sixteen years old. After years of lonely life, she could not help but see the new things. She could not help but feel depressed. She quickly changed her depressed mood and played with Jinse to play with the lights.
At noon, Liu Bei gave the banquet, because there were too many people to entertain, so Liu Bei did not use the precious condiment such as the oyster sauce given to him by Li Su for a large pot banquet. Anyway, the purpose of the large banquet was to socialize, not to really eat any delicacies. Therefore, Liu Miao, who had lived in Nanzheng for several years, had no chance to see oyster sauce before.
It was the first time I had a dish seasoned with oyster sauce tonight. Her surprise was indeed no less than when Liu Bei first saw this thing.
"Ying'er, you live... you are happier than being a maid or a princess. I really want to change it with you. Why can't you not be a princess?
If your father and brother encounter unexpected problems, you can abandon the heavy identity of the daughter of Shangshu Zhou. My father and brother have encountered unexpected problems, but I still have to bear it, even if this princess is worthless." Liu Miao ate the delicious food, and after drinking a little more, she would speak the truth after drinking.
Jinse also drank with her, but her humble identity made her resist and dare not get drunk. After hearing what the princess said, she had to downplay the problem, change the topic, and comfort and persuade.
Fortunately, Li Su also drank a little on the other side, relaxed her guards while being slightly drunk, showing off her heart and showing off her heart as usual, and she casually tinkered with something and asked Jinse to help him compose the music.
"Jinse, come here and help me record a score, and sing like I do-"
Jinse walked to the master in slashes, took a piece of paper, and saw it read:
"When will the bright moon come, I ask Haotian with wine. I don't know what year it will be today in Taichu Palace. I want to ride the wind and float up to the top of the clouds. I can't beat the coldness of the high place, but it's like being in the world. I hope that people will last forever and share the beauty of the moon with thousands of miles away."
As for singing, Li Su couldn't sing it completely, so she sang the first two or three sentences, which imitated the tune of Faye Wong's version of "When will the bright moon come to?" Later, because the number of words was not inconsistent, she stopped singing, and asked Jinse to find a way to hum down according to the tone of the first two sentences.
Anyway, Li Su knew that the maid in his house had already trained this ability, and could listen to the sound and even improvise the process.
Li Su didn't mean to plagiarize this time, but she just thought it was fun to drink too much, and wanted to listen to more pop music in future generations. It was so uncomfortable to carry elegant things every day, and occasionally she needed a mediocre sound.
"Sir, this is written for the wife who is far away in Chengdu and is separated by two places. If the wife knows, she will be very happy. Next time a messenger will send a letter to Chengdu to ensure safety, and they will definitely bring this with her." Jinse supported the role sensiblely.
Li Su felt embarrassed: "I didn't think so much about it. You like to think about people as good as you are. I just want to make some fun. Today you are acquainted with an old friend in a foreign land. This is a good day, and you are so cautious about what to do. Miao'er didn't use the princess to suppress you, so you just open your heart and treat her as a sister. What you want is to have a timely fun."
Jinse admitted his mistake, and then was attracted by Li Su's "Yuefu Poetry". He no longer cared about the red tape and focused on helping to record the score improvised, and then took out Fengse to play and sang.
Liu Miao was left aside and ate some food by herself. She came to join in the fun by hearing the sound. She was a princess since she was a child, so she was not very proficient in musical instruments. She just hummed with her and soon became immersed in it.
Liu Miao sang a passage and sighed and said, "I would have loved to live such a carefree and unjust manner. Alas, in the palace, if you want to listen to music, you have to be more than a dozen people who are in good order and perform their duties. When you sit, you feel hard all over your body.
It’s better for us to sing, sing, stop, stop. The song “Gao Jianli” mentioned in the history books is probably just like this, free and free.”
...
On the night of the Chinese New Year, Liu Miao drank too much and stayed in the Hou's Mansion to sleep with Jinse. As a down-and-out princess, because her parents and brothers were gone, her whereabouts were restricted relatively low after all.
The people from the royal palace informed her that she had not returned when she was visiting Li Suhou’s mansion and reported it to Mi Zhen. After Mi Zhen told Liu Bei, Liu Bei didn’t care at all: “If you have anything to worry about in Boya’s mansion, then just like in the Gu Mansion, there will be no accident.”
The next morning, after sobering up, Liu Miao returned to his residence and reminded Jinse several times to see her when she was free, especially after Liu Bei and Li Su were about to go to the Northern Expedition, there was no master in the royal palace of Nanzheng, and he was bored even if he was idle.
Of course, Jinse agreed respectfully. When he was a child, he was quite worth cherishing when he was a child, even if things changed, the friendship was still there.
The wives of the back house did not mention diplomacy. After Liu Miao returned to the palace, another day passed, and Liu Bei also summoned Li Su to discuss matters and wanted to discuss the final schedule adjustment before sending troops. Li Su naturally called him to leave immediately.
When he arrived at the palace, Liu Bei looked up and down a few times, with a curious expression on his face.
Li Su was slightly nervous, thinking that Liu Bei was speculating whether there was anything unspeakable between him and Liu Miao, and was organizing the words, but Liu Bei first identified the topic:
"Even the maids in your mansion are all younger female relatives in the mansion of Shangshu Wu Xiaowei. They are old acquaintances with Miao'er. They have a good vision. After all, they are Mr. Cai's son-in-law. Even the maids are well-educated. Unlike the lonely and unloved to study, the women rescued by Meiwu, they only looked at their appearance."
Li Su breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Liu Bei was gossiping. He quickly relaxed and agreed: "Don't I like music? Zhuo Jing is also a person who likes music. People are divided into groups. These candidates were also her in the school exam."
Liu Bei: "Since that's the case, when you go north to Chang'an, you also need female relatives, so why bother to accept it?"
After talking for a while, Liu Bei turned the topic back to the main business and asked: "Today I am looking for you, Gongda has a doubt. He thinks it is too early to leave Chencang Road on the second day of the second month. That would have to arrive at Hechi five days in advance. It is too early to be afraid that the snow will not melt and the road will be difficult to move.
If you wait a few more days, you might be able to leave. Last time I just listened to your plan, but I knew the reason but didn’t know why, but I didn’t ask why I had to choose such a day?”
Only then did Li Su realize why when he came to the palace just now, he saw Xun You in the living room outside and was waiting there. Obviously, Xun You was here to give his opinions today.
But it is no wonder, because Xun You joins for a short period of time, he doesn't know many things, so he can only calculate the gains and losses from pure military accounts.
Li Su immediately replied: "Didn't the king know that since the third year of Chuping, our army had been between Hechi County and Dasan Pass, and asked Xiaozhi to build a large-scale construction to excavate the former Western Han River waters blocked by the collapse of Wudu County during the Early Han Dynasty."
Liu Bei: "Of course I know this. I didn't have been digging for so long and used 'gunpowder'. I'm going to dig it out."
Li Su: "When I first arrived in Mianyang, I sent someone to supervise and inspect it. In fact, it has been dug now. At that time, I asked the craftsmen to build a water truck at the excavation opening, and fed it into the dredged old road. I confirmed that the water could flow naturally to Dasanguan, and in the future it could also flow to Chencang City for water transportation of grain on the Chencang Road.
The reason why there is no natural northward flowing north now is that the dry water in the cold winter and the water level of the Western Han Dynasty plummeted. Once the snow starts to turn, the ice flood gradually grows, and the water depth can be several feet without a water truck. There is no problem with passing the raft, and there is no problem with the boat."
Liu Bei: "That doesn't explain why you have to leave Sanguan on the second day of the second month?"
Li Su lowered his voice: "Because the Book of Han records that on January 27, 2018, the Wudu County earthquake collapsed. I also thought that I would like to spend the same day to create a great prophecy and auspiciousness with huge amounts of gunpowder. The king can also be said to be the dream of Emperor Gaozu, so I knew about the mountain collapse in advance, causing the Han River to flow north again. Only the minister and Xiaozhi knew the whole story, but Xiaozhi is now in Wuzhangyuan, so no one knows about it. If I failed to report it first, I was afraid that it would be a secret to act. If the king felt it was unnecessary, he would not use it."
Liu Bei took a deep breath and pretended to recall: "How did Emperor Gaozu tell Gu in his dream? After waking up, he suddenly couldn't remember it clearly? Did Gu tell you last time?"
Li Suxin understood: "Of course I said that the king was not the Emperor Gaozu who dreamed of the night of the Lantern Festival? The next morning, yesterday, the king shared the dream with me, asking me whether I understand or not to interpret the dream, but unfortunately I don't understand. But I still remember that the king said that Emperor Gaozu told the king at that time..."
Liu Bei nodded frequently: "Yes, I remember that Emperor Gaozu told the unfilial descendant of Gu. Back then, it was because the heroine of Empress Lu was appointed as king and was the White Horse Alliance, so Emperor Gaozu was furious in the spirit of the sky and Taiyi, and Haotian was changed to the dragon vein of Han to flow south and no longer enter Guanzhong.
The Guanzhong King's Qi dispersed, and the Han River flowed to Xiangyang afterwards, and the land belonged to Nanyang County, so the Han Dragon Vein turned to Guandong. Now the east and west capitals passed through 12 emperors, and the energy returned several times. When the Han source returns from Chencang to Wei again, the dragon Vein will naturally return to Chang'an, and the Han Dynasty will definitely be prosperous this time."
Liu Bei memorized the lines and felt that he could play.
