In the early morning, the genius is beginning to shine, and the early-rising insects and birds are already chirping. The old emperor is not bored. He has stayed in the palace for a long time and has seen too much death-like silence. This kind of ecology and vitality is really rare.
As an expert, the old emperor was unusual. He got up early in the morning. What was unusual was that he also played some elegant games. The four maids were all beautiful, with bright eyes and white teeth, and graceful figures. They were all as young as a flower.
, he is also talented and has a good temperament, which are all the results of careful training by the Neijiaofang Secretary.
One person is sitting at the piano table, calmly strumming the strings, and making melodious music; one person is sitting elegantly, with a serious expression, dexterous hands, changing movements, and carefully serving the tea soup; one person is holding a round fan, gently sending out the coolness of the morning at a fixed frequency
The wind helped the old emperor relieve the midsummer heat
Although the old emperor's job is no longer possible, it does not prevent him from appreciating beauty and enjoying beauty in other ways.
The sound of the piano was lingering and the smoke was curling up. The most beautiful palace lady was left, walking gracefully and twisting her graceful figure, holding a wooden sign in her hand, and walked towards the old emperor.
Yingying bowed down and knelt beside the old emperor, with a sweet smile on her delicate face, and her voice was particularly pleasant and inspiring: "I respectfully invite you to have tea."
The rich aroma of tea lingers in the air, stimulating people's taste buds. When you arrive in Xinyang, how can you not try "Maojian", which is naturally the top-quality green tea from the Nanwan Lake production area for the old emperor to enjoy.
Well, strictly speaking, this is not considered a contribution of special items, but a special supply from the Shenzhou Yamen, a "daily" drink, so it cannot be said to violate the old emperor's edict not to donate special items.
Glancing at the red and pink skull beside him that was as submissive as a kitten, the old emperor looked as if his heart had stopped. He picked up the tea bowl and observed it. At this time, the tea soup was undergoing some wonderful changes. After being struck and stirred with special techniques,
The veins of the soup noodles are like several flowers, and they are blooming and changing.
Looking at the delicate tea soup, the old emperor blew it away like a cow chewing peonies, then took a sip. He smacked his lips and said: "The taste is nothing special! This pot of tea is for you.
Got it!"
"Thank you, official!" Gong E heard this and hurriedly thanked her, looking like she was honored.
It can be seen that since the southern tour, the old emperor's mood has been getting better and better. Today, it is really rare to see a smile on his face.
Precisely because he saw that the old emperor was in a good mood, Hu Defang hesitated whether to report the unlucky thing at this time. It was rare for an official to be in a leisurely and elegant mood. What if he was disturbed? It was better to change the time.
However, the old emperor seemed to be enlightened. He caught Hood's little expression and asked leisurely: "What happened? You might as well tell us."
Hood glanced at the old emperor, his expression became even more hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.
"Um?"
Hearing his voice, Hu De immediately trembled. Before the old emperor could finish his "hmm", he said hurriedly: "I would like to report to the official family that the Marquis of Ping'an, Li Yu, passed away at his residence last night."
"Oh——" The old emperor's reaction was relatively slow. He went through the news in his mind before he finally reacted: "Huh?"
"When did it happen?" The old emperor suddenly became more energetic: "How did you die?"
Carefully observing the changes in the old emperor's expression, he didn't seem displeased. Hu De felt relieved and replied: "About last night when I was ugly!"
As he said that, Hood's expression was somewhat strange: "It is reported that before staying last night, Ping An Hou Xingzhi came to the house and had a drink in the pavilion of the house. He laughed from time to time. He drank too much and died suddenly."
"Drank to death?" The old emperor looked "strange" on his face, as if hearing an interesting story, and said: "This is really a strange thing! I have long heard that this Li Yu is a drunkard and talented man. He visits home and has nothing to do.
If you are not happy with wine, you will die in such a way, but you are sincere to wine!"
After a few words of ridicule, the old emperor couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that after Li Yu's death, there will be fewer wonderful poems in the world! Although I don't like Li Yu's poems very much, those words are indeed beautiful and emotional.
Attracts sentimental men and women."
"Let his family collect his body and send it back to his hometown for burial!" After thinking about it, the old emperor ordered: "The weather has started to get hot. Give him some ice packs and herbs to protect the body!"
"yes!"
After giving two favors, the old emperor said to Hu De in a joking tone: "Contemporary poets, Li Yu can be considered a master of the school. He is very famous. He passed away so suddenly and died so unexpectedly. It is really surprising to think about him."
Sad.
I heard that in addition to writing poems and lyrics, Li Yu is also good at fine brushwork. The value of his works will greatly increase from now on. If you have them, just keep them. After a few decades, it will be good to pass them down to your family."
The old emperor was obviously speaking casually, but Hu De became serious and responded solemnly: "The younger one has no roots and no descendants. He is devoted to the palace, so there is no talk of family inheritance. The works of Marquis Ping'an,
Even if it is cherished by others, it is of little value to a small person. After all, it cannot be appreciated if it is not understood!"
"Haha!" The old emperor laughed when he heard this and gave a rare compliment: "I love hearing this!"
The smile faded slightly, and the old emperor's expression became serious again. Although he looked at Li Yu's death with a joking attitude on the surface, this incident still touched him a little.
After pondering for a while, the old emperor sighed with emotion: "Li Yu has also left. I am really a little bit reluctant to leave him! People like Gao Baorong, Meng Chang, Li Yu, Qian Hongchu, and Liu Yu all once separated themselves from each other and claimed kingship and hegemony.
.
Although he is not worthy of being my opponent, he did play an important role in the process of unifying the world. He was truly an obstacle to the imperial court and caused me some trouble.
Just for this reason, should we give them some respect?"
The old emperor murmured, and suddenly said: "On the southern tour, I suddenly died of drunkenness. If I tell anyone, no one will believe me, and I don't know what kind of story will be spread outside."
Turning to look at Hu De, the old emperor raised his finger and ordered: "I heard that the fish in Nanwan Lake in Xinyang are good. Go prepare a full fish banquet and summon Meng Chang and Liu Yuan. I will entertain them personally to calm their fears.
!”
"Yes! I'll make arrangements now, little one!" Seeing the old emperor's attention quickly shifting, Hu De didn't dare to neglect at all and immediately responded.
The melodious music of the piano was still surrounding, the beautiful palace maid was still ordering tea, and the old emperor slowly closed his eyes. In this pleasant atmosphere, his old face was filled with a bitter look. This was also his relaxed appearance.
Next, the most authentic reaction.
There was still dozens of miles to go from Yangcheng to Jigong Mountain. On the fifth day of May, Luan Jia set off south again. However, this time there were far fewer people accompanying him, and most of his officials stayed at Nanwan Lake.
, a part of the imperial army was stationed in and around Xinyang City to protect the palace from the outside. Only less than 10,000 people actually accompanied them to the Taikang Palace.
The official road going south is the main road leading to Wuchang. The further south you go, the closer you get to the mountainous area, and the road becomes more difficult to navigate. This was developed by the local government at great expense.
When we turned to Jigong Mountain, the old emperor had to give up his spacious and gorgeous ceremonial carriage and took a small car into the mountain. As soon as we entered the mountain, before we could carefully appreciate the beautiful mountains, clear waters, and deep forests, we were greeted by another person.
surprise.
The car was already driving hard on the bumpy mountain road, the wheels and axles creaked, and it suddenly stopped. Staying in the car, you could hear the movement outside, and even a little commotion. This pair of highly disciplined people
From the perspective of a guard, it is considered a fault.
The old emperor frowned slightly, picked up the gavel, knocked on the car door, and asked in a bad tone: "What's the matter?"
"Go check it out immediately, little one!" came the nervous voice of Hood.
He did not dare to keep the old emperor waiting for too long. Soon Hu De came back and said in a solemn tone: "I would like to report to the official, the matter has been found out. In front of Princess Jincheng's car, two people tied ropes and came down the mountain to stop the driver.
Screaming injustice"
"Is there such a thing?" The old emperor narrowed his eyes slightly: "Where are the people?"
"He was decisively killed by the guards because of his trespassing!" Hood replied.
"How is the princess? Have you ever been frightened?"
"Go back to the official house, your highness the princess is fine!"
Luan Jian suddenly fell into silence. Hood felt that the air pressure had dropped, and said: "The official, the guards also found a blood test from one of them!"
Without making a sound, the small window opened and a skinny old hand stretched out. Seeing this, Hood quickly held up the blood-like hands. No one from the guards to him dared to take a closer look at the contents above, but Hood was heartbroken.
You know, nothing is ever too small.
At the same time, he cursed secretly, where are the untouchables? At this time, using this method, isn't this a disservice to the officials? If they lose their lives and anger the officials, people like them will also have to suffer.
fall.
After a long time, the old emperor's cold voice came out: "Get off!"
The palace had just been opened and no one had set foot in it before such an "accident" happened. Even the old emperor himself did not expect that within two days of arriving in Xinyang, such "surprises" came one after another.
Everything about Luan Jia was eye-catching. Naturally, the incident that occurred in Luan Jia could not be concealed from others. For a time, there were many opinions and everyone was paying attention.
Driving trespassing is an extremely serious matter and can be regarded as a serious political incident. On the surface, it seems that two people are trespassing on the road to express their grievances. However, what if there are more people and they have other purposes?
For example, assassination, the consequences of that are simply terrifying. The emperor's safety is no small matter.
Even if it's not that serious, just the matter of vehemently calling for injustice is enough to trigger endless imagination. Why did you risk your life to cry for injustice? What was written on the blood certificate? What evil happened in Shenzhou?
Case? Perhaps it is related to the construction of Taikang Palace...
There is no shortage of smart people in the world. Regarding this matter, even if many people cannot fully understand it, they can only guess five or six points from the many subtle signs. As for the rest, they can guess two or three points. But everyone,
Just pretending to be stupid with the old emperor.
However, the driving incident occurred and it still appeared in this way. Apparently someone was unwilling to continue pretending to be stupid...
