On the Qinhuai River, the sound of silk and bamboo spreads over it, and laughter comes from time to time.
However, Qi Ning's face was quite unsightly and she whispered: "The emperor thinks there are court officials involved?"
"This layout is very thorough, but Li Hongxin is involved." Longtai said slowly: "Especially the poisonous epidemic in the capital. If the magistrates were not involved, it would be hard for me to imagine that they would be so smooth. Li Hongxin spent so much money in the capital. I also believe that when it is necessary to hire people, there will always be a few that can be used for him." After a pause, he sneered: "All this was born after the death of my father. I just succeeded to the throne. Is this a coincidence? I just told Swing Yi that those people were heading for the 72 holes of the Miao family, but I also know that they may not be coming for me."
"Does the emperor think someone wants to take the opportunity to rebel?" Qi Ning said in a low voice.
Longtai said: "I am worried about this. If the Beijing City's epidemic is to disrupt Kyoto and let the capital appear, it is naturally coming to me. Once this happens, some court officials will inevitably be involved. Although the forces in the martial arts world are wild and difficult to tame, they have no confidence to be enemies with me, let alone covet my position."
Qi Ning thought about it and asked softly: "If there is really a court official involved, who will be? It won't be?" But he didn't say it.
"I know you want to say that you are the King of Huainan." Longtai said: "The King of Huainan will naturally not convince me. He regards himself as the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and he has bad intentions. I know very well." His body leaned forward slightly and lowered his voice: "But the King of Huainan has never left the capital. Although his father had inspected several times and brought him by his side, he was always under surveillance and had no chance to contact the forces in the martial arts world. The Prince of Huainan Mansion has been under the surveillance of the court. I also have a account in my heart who he interacts with. It would be a bit reluctant to say that he was involved in Xichuan."
Qi Ning said: "Emperor, after the epidemic in the capital was poisoned, the King of Huainan strongly advocated sending troops to conquer, which seemed quite abnormal. If he had nothing to do with Xichuan, why did he strongly advocate sending troops to Xichuan? He seemed to have a lot of hatred towards the Black Lotus Sect. What is the reason for this?"
Longtai nodded: "I have also discovered this and sent someone to investigate it secretly, but it has not been investigated that the King of Huainan and anyone in Xichuan had any contact. I have thought about whether the King of Huainan wants to use Xichuan to use military forces to promote his people into the army!" After thinking about it, he solemnly said: "No matter what, this matter must be found out."
"Of course, I have to find out the truth." Qi Ning said: "Master, I am still worried that all this will be caused by the Northern Han people? The Northern Han people cannot break through the defense line of our Great Chu, so they sent people to infiltrate our Chu territory and carefully plan to make chaos in Chu, so they find an opportunity to go south again."
"If this is the case, we must find these people out as soon as possible." Longtai said: "Fortunately, that 6 Shang He has already revealed clues. As long as you keep an eye on this person, you should be able to gain something. I don't want to alarm the snake, so I let the swing investigate secretly." He got up, stretched his waist, and smiled and said: "Forget it, let's talk about these things, I'm a little tired. Qi Ning, go and see if Miss Xian'er is ready?"
Qi Ning thought that the matter in Xichuan was complicated. Since Longtai knew it, he didn't have to worry too much.
But he knew in his heart that there was naturally another man in Longtai's hands, and this man's ability should be not weak, otherwise Longtai would not have known so much about Xichuan.
He just heard Longtai say that he was just going to Xichuan to cover his cover, and he felt a little unhappy, but after thinking about it carefully, Longtai was the emperor after all. Even if he had no available power in his hands before, the former emperor was not a fool after all, and he would still leave some available people for Longtai.
At present, the whole court felt that the new king of Longtai ascended the throne, and the great power in the court was controlled by the Sima family, and the little emperor also showed his own power as much as possible. Of course, this was intentional. The forces he controlled would not be easily revealed to the outside world. However, if what he said today was revealed to Qi Ning, it would be considered that he had a lot of trust in Qi Ning.
Qi Ning knew that the little emperor asked him to go to Xichuan to cover up, but it was not because he did not trust him, but perhaps just a doubt about his ability.
After all, he had never experienced such a major event, and Li Hongxin was even more cunning in Xichuan. It was normal for the emperor to doubt whether he could compete with Li Hongxin. He sent more capable people to investigate secretly in Xichuan, which was considered carefully. The young emperor was so smart that Qi Ning looked at him even more impressed.
Zhuo Xian'er had prepared a long time ago, but she didn't call here and didn't dare to come and disturb her. When Qi Ning saw that everything was ready, she invited Longtai to come over.
After leaving the palace, the palace swordsman Xiang Tianmo was like the shadow of the little emperor, always following the little emperor and not talking easily.
There is a special piano room above the pleasure boat, which is very elegantly arranged. After Longtai sat down, Xiang Tianbei also sat aside.
Lin Xian'er had already changed into clothes, wearing a light blue wide skirt and a long shawl, tied with a water blue silk ribbon, and the jade hairpin was lightly tied, and the tip of the hairpin was hanging with a small chain like water droplets. It was like a rainy feeling, like a light plum blossom, and the fairy was beautiful and beautiful, with a natural freshness that was decorated, especially the charm of the eyebrows and lips, which was elegant and gentle, and the expression was warm and charming.
"I wonder what song the marquis and this young master are going to listen to?" Xian'er's pink lips opened, and her smile was a little shy: "Xian'er's skills are crude, so I hope she won't laugh."
Longtai smiled and said, "Play whatever you are good at." He also said, "The more rare you are, the better. I have listened to many songs, and there are many of them that are tired of. If there are novel songs, just play them."
Xian'er thought about it and said, "Xian'er has seen someone else's music score, and she feels it is quite novel, so she remembers it in her heart. She has never played it with others. The music score is called Manzhu Shahua. Xian'er likes it quite a bit. When there is no one, she can play it by herself. I wonder if it is OK?"
"Manzhu Shahua? This name is very strange. I have never heard of such a music score. Hahaha, it is natural that Miss Xian'er has such a music." Longtai clapped his hands and smiled: "The more novel it is, the better. Miss Xian'er, play it quickly and let me see it."
Xian'er glanced at Qi Ning and saw Qi Ning looking at her with a smile, smiled gently, raised her jade arms, and stroked her very green and tenderly on the face of the piano.
Qi Ning knew only a little about music and didn't know much, but she had heard Xian'er play the piano before and knew that Xian'er's piano skills were indeed very good.
He heard a soft sound, and the sound of the piano was swaying, and Longtai closed his eyes slightly.
The sound of the piano was always high notes at the beginning, and it seemed very low, like a gossip floating in the wind. The sound of the gossip was quite strange, and it seemed to stop at any time.
After a while, the piano sound was even more strange. It was not as singing as the wind and moon music, but it did not have a high-pitched and exciting sound. It always seemed as thin as a gossip. The melody was not so beautiful, but rather a bit sad and confused. If it was compared to singing, the tune would be like a person chanting gently in a hoarse voice.
Qi Ning was quite surprised, but strange to say. Although this rhythm is unusual and does not make people feel beautiful, it can keep listening. Qi Ning doesn't have much interest in music, but together with this tune, he always thinks about hearing the piano rhythm behind it.
The rhythm is gentle and low. After a moment, the rhythm goes down. There are a few playing even a little harsh. At first, Qi Ning thought it was Xian'er who walked the wrong string because of nervousness, but there are always a few that go down from time to time, just like a harsh sound that deliberately wakes up. Qi Ning knew that this was part of this tune.
He closed his eyes and savored it carefully. He felt that those bass were interspersed with great charm. If there were no bass, it would appear too flat and tone.
The sound of the piano became more and more sad. As the strings were plucked, Qi Ning felt that his heart strings were also plucked. As the sound of the sad sound of the piano was circling in his ears, his mood became extremely heavy, and he was even a little lost and melancholy. After a while, he suddenly felt a little cold in the corner of his eyes. Not only did he raise his hand to wipe it, but he was shocked. At some point, tears actually came out of his eyes.
Qi Ning was surprised and thought about how to cry, but she knew nothing. She opened her eyes and turned her head to look over. She only saw Longtai always maintaining her previous sitting position, her eyes were still closed, and at the corner of his eyes, tears rolled down her cheeks. At this moment, Qinyin stopped abruptly. It was at this moment that Qi Ning clearly saw Longtai trembling, and then saw Longtai open his eyes and staring straight at Zhuo Xian'er.
Xian'er stood up, Yingying gave a tribute, and didn't say anything. At this time, Longtai seemed to realize that he was crying. He raised his hand to wipe it away, and said with a little sadness: "Miss Xian'er, your song is called Manzhu Shahua?"
Xian'er said: "Yes."
"Manzhushahua!" Longtai murmured to himself, "I have heard of legends that Manzhushahua is a kind of flower, called the flower of hell. Does Miss Xian'er know?"
Xian'er said: "I have read this legend in the book. It is said that Manzhu Shahua is a flower that voluntarily threw herself into hell, but was sent back by the demons, but she still wandered on the road to the underworld. The demons couldn't bear it, so they agreed to her to open this road and give the souls who left the world a guide."
