The thirty-eighth chapter, the famous ministers sit on the needle felt at the celebration banquet, in the banner
Li Guangdi was promoted to the Wenyuan Pavilion for his meritorious service in regaining Taiwan. In the same year, Li Guangdi was clamoring for a celebratory drink. It was the court break, so Li Guangdi invited his friends in the same year and several ministers who were studying in the study to come to the house for a gathering. It was not until about nine o'clock.
There was already a lot of traffic in front of the Li Mansion, half of the south alley of Yuhuang Street was full. Li Fu and * were so busy that they were sweating. While leading the way, the commander arrived with the servants brought by the officials.
Rest and have tea under the patio shed.
At the beginning of the morning, Mingzhu and Gao Shiqifang got off the sedan in front of the door one after the other. The two of them were generally elegant and unrestrained, but each had their own charm. Mingzhu loved to dress up, and wore a bright gauze rose purple Batulu vest, with the lower waist
Wearing an embroidered golden green betel nut purse, her half-grey hair is combed into a sleek, smooth moon-white robe. She wears a pair of black tweed thousand-layer cloth shoes at her feet, and shakes a plain paper fan in her hand - standing among a group of feathers.
Among the officials who are extremely brilliant and full of flattery, he really stands out from the crowd.
"Congratulations, congratulations!" Mingzhu beamed when she saw Li Guangdi, "Rongcun has made great contributions in the front and has become a bachelor. We should have a banquet to celebrate, but we bother you first - how is your family? Is my old aunt in good health?
?”
"Where is it!" Li Guangdi's heart was beating wildly. He stepped in and replied: "Please, please, Mingxiang, please, brother Gao - alas, this time I went to Fujian, because the war in Taiwan was so fierce, I couldn't go home.
, I received a letter from my family seven days ago, saying that my family is in trouble, and my brother has been thinking about it. After these few days, I plan to ask for leave, and ask you two to speak to me in front of the Holy One!" Gao Shiqi frowned and said, "This
Of course. He who is the son of man should fulfill his duties as a son of man, and he who is his friend should fulfill his friendship as a friend!" Mingzhu nodded without saying a word, and the three of them entered the inner hall together. After a while, Suo'etu also arrived. Everyone
Then we settled down to the table. There were eight tables in the side rooms on both sides. In the main room, Li Guangdi accompanied the guest of honor.
After three rounds of drinking, Mingzhu smiled and said: "I'm really having a good time today. I'm so tired from driving with you every day. It's not easy to make such a lively day! In Rongcun, my family's opera troupe is called up to sing a few songs!"
"
"Brother, I can't compare to you!" Li Guangdi smiled and said, "I am from a poor Hanlin family. I have nothing besides my salary, so I can't afford to support a troupe! Besides, how can I study if I make them noisy?" Censor?
Yu Guozhu was sitting under Gao Shiqi. After hearing this, he laughed and said, "That's right! Jin Qing is the leader of Taoism and Confucianism. How can he raise a group of little girls?"
Mingzhu smiled and said: "But I love the excitement - Ge Yun!" He called his housekeeper, "Go out and call a few singers, not too many!" Ge Yun agreed and left. Here.
Everyone was still joking and joking.
After a while, Ge Yun came in with three people, a young woman and two little boys about ten years old. They all saluted upward. The woman sat sideways on the right side, tried out the pipa a few times, and then started playing it.
, the clear and clear sound was refreshing, Gao Shiqi took a sip of the wine, laughed loudly and said: "There is love before the tune is completed, okay!" Suo'etu also nodded and said: "Sure enough, he is a good player, this set of Zhenggong tune "Taotao Ling" is my home
The team is unmatched!”
Li Guangdi was busy entertaining the guests and walked around the tables. He had just come back from drinking and heard Suo'etu talking. He couldn't help but take a look at the woman. It turned out to be Li Xiuzhi! As if he suddenly saw a ghost in the middle of the night, Li Guangdi's face suddenly changed.
Pale. Everyone ignored the sudden change in Li Guang's expression. When they listened attentively, Li Xiuzhi frowned and sang:
The light of the river is clear and shallow, the moon is dusk, and the amber color moistens the wine bottles.
Lovers will be intoxicated by the lingering tenderness, this is the most ecstatic time of the year.
"How wonderful!" Gao Shiqi was very happy and couldn't help but sigh in admiration, "A mere singing girl can compose such elegant music! Mingxiang, your housekeeper is so discerning. In a moment, he actually got a female Hanlin to come -
"This poem made me realize it!" After saying that, he drank from the cup. Mingzhu smiled and said: "To be praised by you, Gao Xueshi, will benefit me for the rest of my life! Ge Yun, come here, it's rare that you have earned this dignity for me -
I'll reward you with this!" Then he threw a red gold ring over. Li Guangdi, who had just sat down and listened, was confused for a moment, with cold sweat dripping from his head. Mingzhu ignored it and only said to Suo'etu: "Third Master,
How about it? - Hey, this lady, just sing for fun!"
Suo'etu held up his palms and smiled and said, "Wonderful! You sing! If you sing well, not only Master Li, but I will also be rewarded."
"Thank you, my lords!" Li Xiuzhi bowed at the table and ordered one of the two boys to play the flute and the other to play the cloud board. She played the pipa again and sang gracefully:
You can stop talking and just keep asking, is there any way to relieve my obsessive boredom? I am afraid of getting too close to that picky person in front of the wine cup. What can I say?
The daily prices in Geerwuer Town are ridiculous! I just watched Jingerbuer come out of this romantic formation, gritted his teeth and swallowed blood and tears - I don't hate killing, brother,
Why don’t you hate killing people?
When the song reached this point, everyone in the hall was in awe.
Gao Shiqi fanned his palms and pondered for a moment, then said with a smile: "Today is to congratulate Brother Jin Qing for his meritorious service. I have to be happy. Can't you choose an auspicious and happy song to sing?" Mingzhu smiled and said:
"Thank you, Gaojiang Village, you are still a generation of elegant people, and you still pay attention to this! This song is wonderful to sing - don't you think so, Jin Qing?"
"Ah! Ah!" Li Guangdi was startled and hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine. Li Xiuzhi nodded and sang in a mellow tone:
Think back to the time when war clouds and beacons filled the mountains and rivers, and frustrated people ran for their lives in a hurry, who would care for each other? In a hurry, he entered the brothel to avoid the bloody disaster, and swore an alliance in front of the God of Incense and Fire. He saw them off and shed lonely tears on the ancient west wind road. From now on, the poor and happy people have never seen each other again.
Come and go! Now I sit high in the piano hall and don’t remember my past behavior, which makes my slave caress my son day and night with sadness. He sits in the hall with bells and drums and delicious food, but he never thinks that he was in a state of despair and embarrassment back then. I am so pitiful that I have a broken heart while holding the pipa in my arms.
Pretending to be nothing - why is the holy Bodhisattva so confused? Why is the holy Bodhisattva so confused?
After singing this big piece, Li Xiuzhi's tears rolled down like beads. Fang slowly stopped them and chanted:
Play the mourning strings and fly the jade zither, stop singing and shed tears to talk about life,
Whoever expresses pity for the poor life is like listening to the chirping of the oriole among the flowers!
Gao Shiqi thought about it before and after, and realized with horror. He saw Li Guangdi's eyes were drunk, and he was sitting still like an idiot. He had already understood the beginning and the end, but now he would definitely offend someone if he spoke, so he pretended to be ignorant and said with a smile: "This word
It's quite touching. It's a pity that Old Master Xiong didn't come today. If he were to polish it up a bit more, all the officials in Qingmi Hall would be overshadowed by it." Mingzhu ignored it, smiled and asked Xiuzhi:
: "Listening to your lyrics, the hidden worries are very serious, and they seem to be true. I serve as the emperor's master. If you have any grievances, please tell me. It won't be a problem!" Li Guangdi glanced at Mingzhu, and saw that his sinister expression was unexpectedly different.
I shuddered involuntarily.
"I don't dare..." Xiuzhi glanced at Li Guangdi secretly and sighed: "I just ask for your protection and don't let anyone... harm my son..." At this point, she was choked with sobs and could hardly form words.
"Who dares?" Mingzhu sneered sinisterly and said, "There are three assistant ministers here, and above them there is Emperor Shengming!" After that, he ordered people to take Xiuzhi and her son to a side room for dinner. Mingzhu turned her face again and smiled slightly.
He said to Li Guang: "Qing Jin, these mother and son are so pitiful!"
Li Guangdi was startled for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "There are many such things in the world, not to mention the war, how can we avoid them?" There was no color on his face, and his eyes avoided everyone. At this moment, even Suo'etu noticed it.
, secretly making up his mind and pretending not to pay attention.
Mingzhu's face suddenly changed and she said viciously: "Although what Guang Di said is true, the laws of nature cannot be ignored and human feelings cannot be deceived. I once got rid of two villains for the people in Zhengzhou!"
"Yes, yes..." Li Guangdi's heart skipped a beat when the pearl struck the mountain. It took him half a day to come back to his senses and said in a panic: "Among the Taoists, the most important thing is the principles of nature and human relations..." Li Guangdi rescued Zhang Bonian because of Suo'etu.
He also had a grudge in his heart. He knew that Mingzhu was using "preemptive strikes" and was determined to act out Bao Longtu's story. Seeing that Li Guangchi was extremely embarrassed and had suffered a lot, he said: "Qing Jin, you and I have disciples."
Friendship. I don’t like to beat around the bush. This woman is indeed singing about you, so just recognize it. Fortunately, we are all our own people here, so this matter is in the past, otherwise I’m afraid..." He pondered.
For a moment, he said nothing more.
The meaning of this statement could not be more obvious. This careless mourning was enough for this Taoist, not to mention that Li Xiuzhi sacrificed his life to rescue the front, and Li Guangdi betrayed his gratitude and ungratefulness; in addition, he abandoned his own flesh and blood and allowed them to wander.
Ten years in the rivers and lakes. With these three major crimes, a hundred Li Guangdi will also be brought down. Mingzhu settled Xiuzhi and her son in the capital for several years, deliberately planning to use them to knock down Suo Etu. Unexpectedly, he came from the Ministry of Internal Affairs to serve the crown prince.
Tang Guangyi, who plays the role of Tang Guangyi, heard that Li Guangdi was preparing to interfere with him, so he took the lead in attacking and used this killer weapon. If Li Guangdi is still shy and takes an official position, he has been regarded as a shameless person by the government and the public. How can he dare to "threaten revenge"?
Come out to impeach yourself as a "Ming Bao Gong"? After listening to Suo'etu's words, Mingzhu knew that this battle could only be a draw to protect his own safety, so he smiled and said: "Suo Xiang's golden words and kind words, Bodhisattva's heart, Jin Qing wants
Think about it carefully. If you don't admit it, my brother will have no choice but to submit a memorial. You cannot be separated from each other for a long time. Wang Shizhen will definitely be able to clear up this unjust case for Li Xiuzhi."
Li Guangdi only felt that the world was spinning, his legs went weak, and he sat down on the chair. After a while, he said: "How can I deny it? Brother... Brother... this was true back then, but he didn't know that she was pregnant and suffered such a serious injury.
The suffering... alas... I have committed my own sins and suffered myself. Unexpectedly, I, Li Guangdi, have become a sinner of the famous religion - I don't want to argue, I just ask you to bow down and play..." He lowered his head sadly.
Once the matter was confirmed, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Mingzhu immediately ordered someone to invite Xiuzhi. Li Guangdi stood up, bowed his head, and begged: "...Why don't you wait a little longer for the banquet to end..." "That's not good." Mingzhu had already
Li Guangdi felt that he was getting an advantage, so he was not willing to give in anymore. He said with a smile, "Lao Ming is not as kind-hearted as Lao San. He has always been mean. You recognized each other in private, but things have changed and an accident happened. Isn't it the fault of brothers? It is only right to admit it in court today."
!”
"This is such a romantic story!" Seeing the stalemate, Gao Shiqi finally felt that it was nothing. He came over with a smile and patted the bare shoulder and said, "Is it worth being so upset? - I, Gao Shiqi, can't wait for such a good thing..."
He teased and persuaded, and kept "regreting" that he did not have such an affair, which made Li Guangdi laugh and laugh, and everyone laughed. Yu Guozhu had already slipped out to invite Xiuzhi and her son, and then went to the wing to report to everyone: "Everyone, come quickly."
Look, Mr. Li is even more happy..." When all the officials came out and rushed to the middle hall to see, Li Guangdi and Xiuzhi's family of four had already cried together. The three prime ministers, ministers and ministers in the hall all had strange feelings.
Thoughts, I was there to help explain.
One day later, Li Guangdi wrote down the application form for Ding You and asked Gao Shiqi to submit it to Kangxi on his behalf. The imperial edict is as follows:
Li Guangdi, a great scholar, is in the first rank, and he is not allowed to leave the capital for a while because of his important duties. Li Guangdi seizes his love and stays in the capital to guard the system, take care of the funeral and run errands. I admire this!
Taiwan was recovered, and the whole world celebrated. The Mid-Autumn Festival in the 22nd year of Kangxi was several times more lively than in previous years. Because there was a banquet for all ministers on this day, the palace was too narrow, so Kangxi simply decided to perform the performance in Changchun Garden
Ceremonies and banquets were held together. This edict kept everyone in the Ministry of Rites very busy for half a month.
That night, the bright moon hung high in the sky and the sky was clear. The Changchun Garden was filled with colorful lanterns, fiery trees and silver flowers, and the lights and moonlight complemented each other. There were more than a hundred tables in the open space opposite the Dashui Pavilion, and the seats were filled with silk bamboos and thunder in front of them.
An official with a brilliant crest.
Since the ceremony had already been performed during the day, the table seemed very loose and casual. The officials talked nonchalantly while eating melon seeds and moon cakes. Kangxi was in good spirits and soon ordered people to pick up fruit delicacies and send them to the palace as a reward for sumala.
Auntie, Kong Sizhen and other important palace officials asked the old Buddha when Cijia would come to the garden. After a while, Gao Shiqi suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Everyone is elegant and quiet, long live the Lord has a poem!"
In an instant, the vast empty field became silent.
"'I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away' - Dongpo layman's poem is wonderful, but he only mentions 'yu'. Looking at the scene at this time, it should be 'sharing the beauty of the beauty of the moon through the ages'. Only with the word 'zhou' can we
That’s all, but it’s a pity that I don’t have the talent.” Kangxi said with a smile, “For many years, the people of Taiwan have not been able to celebrate reunion with the whole world, but tonight Shi Lang toasted with Zheng Ke and others, and their fighting turned into jade.
I am really happy beyond words in my heart. My talents are ordinary, and it is a good night to have poems, so I would like to write a poem to share with you all!" After saying that, he walked around the mat, stepped on the moon, raised his head and sang loudly:
Wanli Fusang has already hung up his bow, and the water rhinoceros army points to the empty gate of the island.
Why did you come to court to cultivate virtue? Rouyuan was not a martial artist at first.
The autumn colors are falling outside the tooth tent, and the moonlight is shining brightly in the feather forest.
For a long time, the people in the sea area have been trapped in poverty, and the land has been plowed since then.
After chanting, he said with a smile: "There are many people who disagree with this battle in Taiwan. But Li Guangdi, the great scholar, disagrees with all the opinions and believes that Taiwan is not only desirable, but also desirable..."
Li Guangdi's face flushed suddenly, and his heart beat rapidly. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, it was really an honor to be praised like this. After all, the Lord knows me! He looked around uneasily, and was surrounded by warm and envious eyes.
When I turned around, I saw Guo Xiu, and my heart sank again. Two days ago, Guo Xiu had scolded Li Guangdi to pieces about Li Guangdi's affair and Peng Peng who was involved in the matter. He had scolded him bloody.
He said that "the emperor is worried about gains and losses, and if the light is gone, it will be easy", and accused Li Guangdi of being crazy for accepting the decree, "everyone is gnashing his teeth, and the country is ashamed"! Guo Xiu seemed not to have heard Kangxi's praise at all.
, raised his glass to Yue expressionlessly. Li Guangdi searched for Peng Peng with his eyes, but he met the eyes of Chen Menglei at the next table. They just touched each other and avoided them. But he heard Kangxi say again: "Now the matter is settled.
The merits of Guang Di cannot be forgotten, so he will add two levels to the original office, and will be appointed again after the expiration of three years. Shi Lang attacked with wounds in the sea battle, and was able to be anxious for justice, abandon personal hatred, appease the people, appease the local area, and have the style of an official and general.
Granted the hereditary title of Marquis of Jinghai!" After hearing this, Li Guangdi hurriedly attended and knelt down to express his gratitude. Kangxi smiled and waved his hands, "No need to be formal, let's all have a drink!"
"Long live!" All the ministers stood up and raised their glasses and praised loudly, "Long live, long live!"
The atmosphere became even more lively at the moment. Mingzhu and other ministers in the study came to Li Guangdi and drank wine to congratulate him. Kangxi left the table with a smile and walked to Chen Menglei's table. When Chen Menglei saw him coming, he hurriedly wanted to stand up, but Kangxi had already stopped him. Holding him down, he asked: "Is it okay to be in the third elder's house? Third elder brother really likes you, you have to come and serve me, right?"
"If you wish, I... I am very good to the third master. The third master treats me very kindly. He rewarded me with a house and told me to immerse myself in books..." Chen Menglei replied in a panic, "although the third master is young, , but he is smart and eager to learn, and he has made great progress in his studies. He is also polite and virtuous. There are several great scholars around him who have compiled several big books for Third Master!"
"That's good. Your "Collection of Ancient and Modern Books" hasn't been printed yet, okay? Ask them to copy one and send it in first." Kangxi smiled broadly and said to the officials at the same table: "He is the only one here who is not an official today. You may not Do you know him? This is an old friend of mine! When he took the bus to Beijing for an audition, we met before he even entered the venue - I was only sixteen years old at that time, so it has been more than ten years!" He said. Very emotional.
When Chen Menglei heard Kangxi mention the past, he couldn't help feeling sad. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he said with a choked voice, "I am now weak and sick, and my hair has turned white. Long live the emperor's face also has fine wrinkles. I know very well that the world The growth of all things depends on the Lord. I beg you to save labor, cherish it, nourish and strengthen your body, so as to live up to the expectations of the people in the world..." Kangxi laughed loudly and said: "You are a forty-year-old person, you can still do something very good! If nothing else, the third elder brother who taught me is still very knowledgeable - he is here to serve you with pens and inkstones!"
When several chamberlains heard the greeting, they ran like flying to fetch the Four Treasures of the Study and spread them out on the edge of the table. In an instant, this place became a place for everyone to see. Kangxi thought for a moment and wrote in moist ink:
The pines are tall and the branches are lush, the cranes are old and have new feathers
A very beautiful calligraphy of facial features - after writing it, he said: "Thank you!"
"Me?!" Chen Menglei was shocked, his head swelled up. There were sounds of admiration around him.
Kangxi said with a smile: "When I go back, I will tell you in the hall. Although my handwriting is not good, I want to encourage you." (To be continued)
