In late spring, there are many peach blossoms planted around a Taoist temple. They are in full bloom at this time. Although the rain is hazy, many pilgrims and tourists come up the mountain to have a spring outing and pay incense. There are many believers, and pilgrims queue up to wait. , the lady was accompanied by her maid, and some young ladies were following her, which seemed lively and lively. Originally, Pei Ziyun also wanted to go in and stroll around, but stopped while scanning these, and only casually visited the main hall where there were few people.
Feeling uninterested, he turned around and went out. He saw Zhao Baihu appear and motioned to Pei Ziyun. Pei Ziyun came forward and reached a remote location. Baihu said: "Master, the thing you want me to inquire about has already arrived. Please check it." one time!"
Pei Ziyun stepped forward and took the post. He opened it and saw that there were densely written names on it and labels underneath, which showed that he was very careful. He closed it and said, "I'll take it first. I have something else to do, and I'll talk to you later."
Baihu said: "Yes, if the prince has something to say or if the young master has something to do, just give orders to the subordinates."
"Okay, if anything happens, I'll come find you." After saying that, Pei Ziyun turned around and left. He paused for a moment, thoughtfully, and asked, "I heard that the little princess is a little bad, is that right? What?"
Baihu thought of the rumor again, thought about it, and said, "I heard it was cold."
"Really?" Pei Ziyun took a breath silently: "Arrange the ox cart for me. I'll go to the corner of the eldest princess's mansion."
Baihu wanted to speak, but swallowed it back, and directly arranged the ox cart. Pei Ziyun entered, and heard a shout. The ox cart moved from outside the city to the city. After a while, he arrived at the streets and alleys of the city. , just hearing the sound of mules' hooves treading in the muddy water, and the drizzle hitting the oilcloth intermittently, Pei Ziyun opened the information and read all the way.
This information has been made into a folder, which can be read by pulling it open. At this time, I briefly glanced at the high-ranking people. Unless the prince personally recruits the high-ranking people, it is impossible for the high-ranking people to get chestnuts for the prince's fire. However, they can have a rough understanding, or they can take advantage of the situation to know. It never hurts.
Looking carefully along the way, Chen Pin cannot be used because his official position is too small.
Although He Meng had an official position, he was careful and alert and could not be used. He looked down and saw the end, where he saw a name: Zhou Qi
Zhou Qi, a sixth-grade official, has an upright nature and hates evil. I have some memories from reading Pei Ziyun. This person is not of high rank, but when things happened in his previous life, he was the only one who refused to remonstrate. He was almost killed in the Jinluan Palace, which shocked the world. .
But this person is not a prince, he just has a title in his heart, and this person can be used.
After flipping through the file, he also made a separate list of people in Prince Lu's palace. Seeing this list, Pei Ziyun also smiled: "It seems that the prince is not useless. He has collected information."
Looking through the list of Prince Lu's Mansion, I didn't see Ren Wei in the front. I couldn't help but feel a little strange. Looking at the order of the list, could it be that Ren Wei hadn't been discovered by Prince Lu yet
After reading to the back, I saw the name. It seemed that although Ren Wei was talented, Prince Lu's palace was full of talents and there was no turmoil. When was it his turn to be a newcomer to the palace
However, only by seeing these people can we make a specific judgment.
Xiangyun Hotel
At this time in the afternoon, many shops are open, but in an alley, there is a hotel with a big wine flag fluttering in the wind. There are several drinkers coming and going, or some holding wine gourds. Come over for a drink.
The hotel has a small facade, with two floors. There are six tables below, and people are staying on top. Because of the rain, oil lamps have been lit, and there are seven or eight guests drinking and chatting.
The shopkeeper was calculating the accounts, clearly calculating how much money a customer had paid, when a scholar wearing a green shirt that had been washed a little white came in.
A waiter looked up and said, "Old Ren, you are in a good mood today, but have you received an errand? It's the same food as before, why don't you change it?"
This person was Ren Wei. He stretched out his fingers and said with a smile: "You are so smart. You haven't done the job yet, but you have a chance."
After thinking for a while, he struggled and said slowly, "Still the old rules, just rice, vegetables and tofu."
"Okay, wait a minute!" The waiter was about to leave, but Ren Wei thought for a moment and shouted: "Just give me a chicken drumstick today."
The waiter just took note of it and went to the kitchen.
Pei Ziyun had put on makeup early. At this time, a young man, well dressed, had followed Ren Wei to the store just now. When I saw him today, it seemed that this man was having a hard time. Pei Ziyun sat far away and did not get close.
"Sir, what do you want to order? Our Xiangyun Hotel has many signature dishes, including white-cut chicken, beggar's chicken, braised chicken, duck soup, braised fish, and cut beef. Fresh fruits and vegetables are available in the store. We can also supply it. I wonder what the young master wants to eat?"
After hearing this, Pei Ziyun felt a little hungry. After thinking about it, he said, "Just give me some beggar's chicken, a pot of wine, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables."
"Sir, wait a minute." The waiter turned and left. A little later, he came back with the dishes. He took a hammer and knocked on the mud of the beggar's chicken shell before breaking it open. You can see the hot steam coming out. , and has a strong fragrance.
Just as the waiter was about to leave, Pei Ziyun looked at Ren Wei in the distance and asked: "The man just now seemed to be a professional, and it sounds like he is also a regular customer of your store. Why do you feel that you are hesitant to eat chicken drumsticks when times are bad?"
The man who was about to leave heard this and glanced at Lao Ren, lowering his voice: "Hey, sir, you don't know this. That man is not a scholar, he is a scholar. It is said that he passed the exam I failed to win the election several times, so I simply went to Prince Lu’s Mansion to ask for a job.”
"Do you think you can reach heaven in one fell swoop with your humble life and eating green vegetables and tofu every day?"
"It is said that the competition inside is fierce. This man had no job, so he had to get a job. He did nothing all day long. He could only brag to us all day long about doing things for King Lu. I have never seen him get any good jobs. It’s all hard work that no one wants to do, and the money is very little.”
Hearing this, Pei Ziyun's heart moved. Ren Wei's life was very bad. In this case, if the operation was good, the task would be easy, so he continued to ask: "The palace of Prince Lu must be very rich, right? Even if it is Qingke's salary, He should be very high, how could he live such a miserable life?"
"Young Master must not be from the capital, right?" The clerk looked at Pei Ziyun and asked. Before Pei Ziyun could answer, he continued: "That's right, Young Master, you have to know that rice is expensive in the capital, let alone food, clothing, housing and transportation. There are many people in the palace. This man also likes to buy books, books are so expensive, and this Prince Lu’s Mansion is not a mountain of gold or silver. Qingke is also divided into three and five grades, and this old Ren belongs to the lowest grade."
"Prince Lu's Mansion is governed by military law. Those who have merit must be rewarded, and those who have committed mistakes must be punished. This person is at the bottom of the list of purging guests, and he has no merit. He just helps out all day long. How can he have any money? This person only earns three or four taels a month. It's like money. Now rent a small room in my shop, have a meal at Prince Lu's Mansion at noon, and eat the green vegetables and tofu in the shop in the evening."
"Dude, order."
At this time, someone shouted again, but the waiter didn't say much and responded quickly. Pei Ziyun looked at Ren Wei from a distance: "It doesn't seem difficult. This person is having a difficult life. Just add a little more anger and that's it."
Pei Ziyun slowly finished using it, stood up and said, "Go to the small lake next to the eldest princess's mansion."
Soon, the oxcart arrived. This was not so much a lake as a river. Only the mansion had an artificial lake, but there were willow branches along the river. Passing the waterside pavilion, Pei Ziyun only took a look at it and took Xiao out.
It was already dark at this time, and drizzle was falling in the twilight. The lights were being turned on in the eldest princess's house. The little princess had obviously lost a lot of weight. The maid was feeding medicine. Suddenly, a whistle blew in the wind. She was very happy with the whistle. Put down the bowl and listen.
This whistle is either present or not, as thin as a hair. As it gets closer, it gradually becomes quieter, like a lover whispering, ears and temples rubbing together, meandering and lingering. From now on, it gets lower and finer, like a ten thousand sounds entering the night.
The little princess thought it was over and said, "It sounds so good. Who blew it?"
"Oh, who blew it?" Almost at the same time, the eldest princess pointed and asked, and one person answered: "It's not someone from my house, it's someone from outside. The rain is a bit hazy and it's dusk again. I can't see clearly. It looks like a person." Langjun."
Before she finished speaking, the eldest princess waved her hands and smiled: "Now that the young man is so bold, is there anyone else thinking of this method?"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of the Xiao suddenly changed and became more intense. The sound was sonorous, and the iron horse was killing Xiao Suo. Wherever he went, there was desolation. The sound of the flute was gentle again, but it seemed like a cry, a father crying for his son. , mother cries for daughter, elder cries for young, young calls for relatives, plaintive as weeping, bones exposed in the wild, this whistle seems to have strange contagious power, even if it is the first time, people can still hear the pain of this troubled world.
The little princess's face turned red, then turned pale. She wanted to stand up, but she stumbled and sat down, feeling like vomiting.
The eldest princess was about to enter the side hall with a smile, but her face changed when she heard this: "No, stop it quickly. This cry is too sad. It will hurt your body to hear it. You little princess can't listen to it."
Afterwards, the sounds of golden drums, steps, horse hooves, shouts, swords and crossbows, and the battle between the two armies were heard everywhere, blood flowed into a river, and millions of corpses were lying on the ground. By this time, the flute song was longer than usual, and the listeners were shocked and intoxicated. , and then a high pitch suddenly reached the horizon.
The man who was startled for a moment responded: "Yes, I will go and chase this person away."
"Don't!" The eldest princess seemed to realize something: "Wait a little longer."
The sound of the flute gradually melts away the winter snow, and all things sprout and multiply. If you listen carefully, it seems that there are farmers plowing the fields, vendors hawking, boats running, and children playing.
Gradually, these formed a prosperous and prosperous era, with farmers having good harvests, businessmen making profits, officials being clear-minded, and the monarch being wise. All these happiness gathered together and turned into a long chapter, which can be called long happiness.
That's all. Through the peaceful and prosperous times, people's hearts are united, and a resonance that is so light and indescribable is once again drawn out of it.
That is the voice of hundreds of millions of people - peace, happiness and worry-free, this is their dream.
The resonance became weaker and weaker, until it gradually disappeared. The little princess opened her eyes, and a tear broke on her long eyelashes, but she suddenly felt that her depressed mood suddenly became clear. Clear and light.
"Prince?" At this time, an ox cart was listening to one side, and the people inside were silent for a long time: "Good Xiao, the better thing is the song, the song is the voice of the heart. I was still a little doubtful about him, but it seems that this son is indeed You have the heart to achieve peace and prosperity!"
"Please ask what the name of this song is."
"Yes!" The man hurried away and spoke to Baihu. Baihu asked again and replied: "Prince, the name of this song is Taiping Wuyou."
