Yue Pengju's residence has been crowded with people these days.
According to Hua Rong's intention, she was supposed to thank guests behind closed doors. She was already very disgusted with Zhao Deji's several trials and was even more disappointed with the capital. However, Yue Pengju remained calm and composed. During the days in Beijing, he would go to court early when he should. After returning home, I went traveling with my wife.
That morning, the two were about to go out for a tour of the West Lake. As they were setting off, they saw Xu Caizhi and two eunuchs coming.
The two of them were still a little happy to see Xu Caizhi. Hua Rong quickly asked: "Master Xu, I haven't seen you before."
"I'm going to another place on business."
The two of them couldn't ask any more questions, so they just watched the eunuch take out the gift box and said: "Mrs. Yue, the official is concerned about you and has sent you a gift..."
At this time, Hua Rong was very disgusted with Zhao Deji's unpredictable methods, but she had no choice but to thank Yue Pengju, and she had no intention of even chatting with Xu Caizhi.
When the two of them entered the door, Hua Rong put the box on the table without looking at it, knowing that it was Ganoderma lucidum. As if it was a great irony, Zhao Deji sent Ganoderma lucidum at this time to gloat about his infertility
She sat on a chair. Yue Pengju brought a cup of tea and said softly: "Take a sip."
Her husband's gentle tone made her feel a little more relaxed.
"Pengju, how long do we have to wait?"
"It depends on when the Wenlong boy will arrive."
"Your Majesty, this is really unnecessary."
Yue Pengju said calmly: "He didn't do anything unnecessary. He suspected that our husband and wife were pretending to be ill."
"ah?"
The intention of these several temptations is so obvious. Accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger, so your reputation is well-deserved.
Hua Rong was very flustered. She used to be grateful to Zhao Deji, but later followed him to escape several times. Although she was dissatisfied with him, she never really thought that one day he would raise a butcher knife to her head.
She was shocked. Even if the butcher's knife was not aimed at herself, it would probably be aimed at Pengju. Pengju was actually more dangerous than herself.
When she figured this out, she became even more anxious: "Pengju, let's leave the capital quickly."
However, as soon as the words came out, I thought, the world is so big, where can my husband and I go? Besides, Zhao Deji did not make a clear statement, but his actions made him very disappointed.
Yue Pengju turned his eyes and smiled: "The world is so big, there is always a place for it. King Qin can still enjoy himself."
This was the first time she heard her husband speak in such a tone, half joking and half serious.
Yue Pengju was thousands of miles away from King Qin, how could he say such a thing
She was even more melancholy. The Jin people were rampant and the Dongting water bandits were not at peace. The emperor was going to be suspicious of the heroes
She finally couldn't help it and opened the box. However, the box was empty and contained no Ganoderma lucidum.
There was only one note inside. She opened it and it was written by Zhao Deji himself:
"Rong'er, after returning from the sea, I am worried in my heart. I have been sleeping all day and night, and my health is getting worse and worse. I may not have taken good care of you these days. Please forgive me. In this big world, the only person I trust is you. Just one person.
She paused, read the note, and handed it to Yue Pengju.
The sincere words in this note were in sharp contrast to Zhao Deji's repeated words.
Zhao Deji attributed his repeated behavior to emotional anxiety. Hua Rong's depressed mood slowly relaxed a little, and then he said to himself: "Could it be that we have wrongly blamed him?"
At this time, Yue Pengju was no longer sure of Zhao Deji's intentions. When he wrote such a note, he even put down his imperial posture, almost speaking from the bottom of his heart.
However, what can the emperor have to say
Seeing that she was still depressed, Yue Pengju took her hand and left: "Don't be depressed, we agreed to go to the West Lake to play."
She had to sit still, and was almost hugged by Yue Pengju. Her armpits were numb, and she smiled, and her mood became lighter.
It has just arrived at noon, and the winter sun is at its best.
The two hired a small boat and let it drift slowly on the lake.
There are such painted boats everywhere, singing girls, people having fun, and vendors selling all kinds of candies. With the flowers blooming in the capital and the fire cooking oil, who would still think of the huge disaster a few years ago
There is a guqin placed on the boat.
Yue Pengju sat down and played a piece of music. He learned this piece from Hua Rong when he returned from the army. After that, he made friends with scholars in the army and experienced the fun of music, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Hua Rong was mixing tea, pouring a cup with a smile, and handed it to him while stepping on the last beat of the strings.
Yue Peng took a sip and said with a smile: "Sister Seventeen, it's your turn."
He stood up, Hua Rong held up her skirt and admired it, and the two exchanged positions.
Hua Rong played the song "Water Melody Songtou". She occasionally raised her head and looked at her husband. When their eyes met, they smiled silently.
Yue Pengju got excited and sang loudly in tune with the tune:
When will the bright moon appear? Ask the blue sky for wine. I wonder what year it is today in the palace in the sky? I want to ride the wind back home, but I'm afraid that it's too cold in the beautiful buildings and jade buildings at high places. I dance to clear my shadow, how can I feel like I'm in the human world
Turning around the Zhu Pavilion, looking down at the door, the light shines without sleep. There should be no hatred, why is it so long to be reunited when we say goodbye? People have joys and sorrows, separations and reunions, and the moon waxes and wanes. This is a difficult thing in ancient times. I hope that people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.
… …
The two were enjoying themselves without attracting too much attention from anyone else, but they didn't know that slowly, a luxurious boat was approaching.
This painting boat was big and majestic. The couple saw it as soon as they entered the lake, but they thought it belonged to a certain dignitary. Such boats were not unusual on the West Lake, especially the boats that were lined up in groups like that. The singing prostitutes, their beauty, appearance, and musical skills are all of the highest quality and cannot be possessed by ordinary people.
The hanging curtains on the boat are made of the finest silk, thin and translucent. It is a technique used by the most exquisite women in Su embroidery. It has a shielding function. The owner can have an unobstructed view of the outside scene through the curtain, but outsiders can only The pattern is hazy, and the identity of the owner cannot be revealed.
Many dignitaries who do not want to be bumped into by acquaintances usually use this expensive brocade curtain.
At this time, a handsome young man was sitting on a chair carved with a mandarin duck with a green head and double neck. He was looking at the unobstructed boat through the curtain.
The distance was so close that he could clearly see the faces of the couple sitting opposite each other.
The woman was still playing, with elegant hands and a face like a flower. She was wearing a light blue skirt and her hair was combed into a bun that was popular at the time. She stood tall, dignified and beautiful.
The man opposite her was happy and intoxicated, enjoying the beautiful music played by his wife.
Tea, string songs, and a lovely wife.
The best realm a man can have, Yue Pengju has it all.
He even thought that these should not belong to Yue Pengju in the first place. It was Yue Pengju who "robbed" him—possessed his dream.
This matter has never been solved!
… … …
He suddenly remembered Zhang Zeduan's "Along the River During the Qingming Festival". The prosperous Southern Dynasty, the beautiful and elegant men and women, must have a background like the West Lake as a backdrop, so a general like Yue Pengju could also sing "I hope people will live long, and we will share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles away."
In the Kingdom of Jin, which is known as the country with millions of lions, this is something that none of the generals dare to think about.
He hated being among those extremely vulgar and vulgar generals.
There were so many beauties in the Southern Dynasties, but what did it mean if a **** like Wang Junhua crawled at his feet? This is why he is willing to take great risks to come here.
The sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and he looked through the curtain again, and saw that the woman playing was holding a Jun kiln rose-colored porcelain cup with red hands and a white cup of tea. She handed it to Yue Pengju kindly, with a sweet smile: "Are you thirsty?"
What a simple sentence.
But it's something you can never get.
Why do the young men here have all the good times and beautiful scenery
He was very angry.
Nung, moon and new moon!
He also wanted to sing a song at this moment, but he didn't dare.
Even though he was sitting in this extremely luxurious boat, he did not dare to sing so happily and even say a few words. He did not dare to do what Yue Pengju did, like no one else around, raising his eyebrows and raising eyebrows with the woman he admired, singing and answering - because this was not his territory.
My own territory is made of earth walls made of Shangjing soil and birch bark, and it is a large, cold earthen bed.
It is an endless expanse of ice and snow.
Where can there be such a prosperous, wealthy and gentle place
Although I have a library of Wang Anshi, Su Dongpo, Sima Guang... but I don't even dare to sing aloud.
Picturesque, a moment how many hero.
This world must always be your own, only when you sing loudly and indulge in high spirits.
He returned to the boat and sat down, where two "distinguished guests" were hugging each other, having a great time.
Both of these two people wore extremely delicate human skin masks on their faces, except for the lower part of their mouths. The cost of making these masks was unimaginably high, and even the beauties in their arms could not tell that they were "dummy people."
He waved his hand and the dancers retreated.
The two of them then said: "Sir, everything is ready."
"Is it safe?"
"Foolproof."
"Okay, thank you for your hard work. If it comes to pass, you and I will be honored ministers."
"Thank you, sir."
The two of them looked at this talented and strategic young master and couldn't believe that he could strategize like this at such a young age. The power behind him and the steady flow of financial resources gave them great confidence.
As soon as the two of them left, another plainclothes guard came in and whispered: "Liu Yu has a letter."
He took it and took a look, his expression changed slightly.
It turned out that after He Ci succeeded to the throne, under the conjecture of Zong Han and others, he conferred the title of "Son Emperor" on the puppet Qi Liu Yu's regime. The teenage Emperor of the Jin Kingdom lowered a golden book and canonized Liu Yu as the "Sub Emperor" for generations to come. It was not only a great insult but also a great deterrent. He looked at the secret letter, then waved a fire stick and burned it completely until it turned into a pile of ashes before saying: "God help me! "
Eunuch Kang’s private residence.
On this day, when he was not supposed to be on duty, he was drinking and having fun in a private house. He saw a family of slaves coming back in a hurry and whispered something in Eunuch Kang's ear. Eunuch Kang's complexion changed drastically. He got up in panic and rushed back to the palace. He hurried to the capital. The church’s office location.
He first went to Lu Yihao's office, then remembered that Lu Yihao had been out of the palace for a long time, inspecting the defenses of several generals. He immediately transferred to the hall, which was originally shared by Qin Hui and Zhai Ruwen. After Qin Hui left, only Zhai Ruwen was left. He panicked When he entered, he sang a song to Zhai Ruwen and said: "The official decree needs to be discussed in secret with the Prime Minister."
Zhai Ruwen immediately ordered the officials and subordinates to retreat. Eunuch Kang took out Zhao Deji's imperial pen and a roll of yellow paper and said, "My servant accidentally learned that someone in the army is plotting a rebellion, and troops will be raised at Tianzhu Temple tomorrow morning."
Zhai Ruwen was dubious. He read the yellow paper carefully, pointed to the last two lines and said: "Controller's field pledge, controller's gold pledge, what does this mean?"
