In the first half of December, Liaodong once again came to the good news, the elite cavalry sent by Gu Jingming, the general soldier of Liaodong, attacked 200 li, approaching the local left battalion, and Gu Zihan, the deputy general soldier who took the lead, captured four Tatar ministers, and then half a month later, when Tatar approached the east of the Liao River again, Gu Jingming used stratagem to take advantage of the unpreparedness to sneak attack the Tatar grain and grass camp, and burned the camp extremely fiercely, so that the Tatars were defeated without a fight, and retreated to 500 miles away.

All of a sudden, Gu Jingming's prestige was like a spark of fire, and gradually spread among the Tatar tribes, making the enemy tremble, every time he encountered the banner of Gu Jingming's army, he would flee from the wind, so that in just a few months, Gu Jingming led his subordinates to win more than a dozen battles, large and small, and was almost invincible in the eyes of everyone.

Under such a great feat, Emperor Jianheng Long Yan was overjoyed, and immediately named Gu Jingming as Changning Bo, and every time he charged into battle, Gu Zihan, who was brave and indomitable, was promoted to the general army of Jinzhou.

The Gu family was in the limelight from that moment, and it seemed to have the meaning of replacing the former god of war Guo family, and this instantly became a sharp knife, which approached the Empress Dowager Gu, making the Empress Dowager Guo more and more uneasy.

On the second day of the decree, the meaning of joy has not yet retreated from the emperor's heart, Emperor Jianheng went to the court, and after approving the chapter, he immediately ordered the people of the music workshop to go to the Dongnuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace to serve in order to help the fun.

The melodious and beautiful sound of the pipa gradually rises like a jade bead on the plate, and the cloisonné enamel cloud bat pattern three-peach smoker in the East Warm Pavilion burns with a faint ambergris, and when the soft curtain is opened, it is slid through the tip of the nose with the warm fragrance, which makes people feel refreshed.

Emperor Jianheng's eyebrows were rarely soothed and leaned on the soft collapse, his right hand was slightly bent, supporting his forehead, enjoying his eyes, and on both sides of it, there were several musicians, only a girl in a pink and purple palace skirt sat in front of him, holding a luodian rosewood five-string pipa in his arms naturally and beautifully, the eyebrows were gentle and beautiful, the corners of his lips hooked a shallow smile, and between the fingertips, it was a wonderful song.

Emperor Jianheng heard that the fingertips of the song were slightly bent, and gradually fell into the sound of the song, until the girl's plain hand swiped towards the heart of the string, and it was the end of the song. And the tune of Fang Cai still seems to be in my ears, like dew drops on green plantain leaves, gently dripping.

"Well, very well played. ”

The sound of stroking the palm suddenly rose in the pavilion, and the girl in the palace skirt couldn't help but bow her head slightly when she saw Emperor Jianheng's admiring smile, and said shyly and gently: "The concubine's song is just still in the ear, and it is difficult for Your Majesty to sit here and listen." ”

Emperor Jianheng immediately laughed loudly when he heard this, and then pointed at the delicate and shy girl in front of him and said, "If you are only good at this, I'm afraid that no one will play well." ”

It turned out that the girl who played the pipa was selected by the governor of Zhejiang to enter the palace in the spring, and the lady Wei who was famous in the ears of the emperor, since she was ranked as a concubine, she got the sacred heart with her beauty and pipa, and was promoted again and again.

Such as a concubine, such as a concubine, just from this title, you can see how much this woman is like the emperor's heart.

At this time, Concubine Ru smiled slightly when she heard this, and suddenly remembered something, raised her head slightly, and blurted out delicately: "In the past, Lady Song's pipa was better than that of concubines, and concubines were ashamed of themselves when they heard it." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, the emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and a trace of curiosity and expectation couldn't help but float in his eyes: "Which Lady Song, I don't remember." ”

When Concubine Ruyan heard this, there was a slight trace of regret in her eyes, but she still smiled and said: "It's a pity, Lady Song somehow lost the election somehow, such a good pipa, but Your Majesty can't hear it." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a trace of uncertainty in the emperor's eyes, and he only felt a little disappointed, and then glanced at Feng Wei, who had been silent beside him.

"It's also common for a lady to lose the election, why does the concubine use the word inexplicable?"

Suddenly, Emperor Jianheng seemed to have something to taste, and turned his eyes slightly to look at the girl in front of him, and the bottom of his eyes was imperceptibly filled with deep meaning, and the concubine, who had always been simple and indisputable, didn't think much about it when she heard the words, but just crossed a trace of a girl's hesitation in her eyes and said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, when the concubine and Lady Song entered the palace, they were assigned to live in the same room, and Lady Song's appearance is the most bright and outstanding among the ladies, but her temperament is excellent, and she treats the concubine like a sister, except for one point, the family background of Lady Song and the concubine is a little cold among the ladies- ”

Speaking of this, Ru Concubine suddenly smiled like a fresh jasmine bud and said: "But entering the palace is to choose virtue and talent, so at that time, all of us ladies felt that Lady Song should be able to enter the palace and have the honor to serve Your Majesty." ”

When Emperor Jianheng heard this, a doting smile appeared in his calm eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Since you are defeated, there must be a reason for losing the election-"

Saying that, Emperor Jianheng beckoned, well-behaved like a concubine and a cat, quietly stepped forward, Emperor Jianheng took Ru Concubine into his arms and sat down, wrapped his big hand around Ru Concubine's slender hand and said: "Since you can't listen to it, you can't listen to it, I think that Concubine Ai's song is the best in the world, and I will only listen to you in the future." ”

The girl heard the delicate chin of the words, but the corners of her lips were slightly pursed with a gentle smile.

"Okay, I'm tired after playing, let's go back to the palace to rest first, and I'll accompany you in the evening, okay?"

The girl in her arms nodded sensibly when she heard this, then stood up with a smile, and bowed respectfully, and then went down with the Tang Dynasty heirloom pipa that Emperor Jianheng personally appreciated.

Until the delicate figure disappeared into the pavilion, the smile in his eyes gradually disappeared from the corner of Emperor Jianheng's eyes, and then it was replaced by a dark one.

"Feng Wei. ”

The sudden voice stunned the people on the side, and then bowed respectfully and said, "The slave is here." ”

Emperor Jianheng seemed to be smiling at the corner of his eyes, looking cold and crazy, he was tilting his head slightly at the moment, leaning on the soft handrail with his left hand, looking at Feng Wei in front of him lightly, and asked unhurriedly: "Who is responsible for the selection of ladies to enter the palace in the spring?"

Feng Wei's body couldn't help but stiffen when he heard this, but he lowered his eyes calmly and said: "Back to Your Majesty, you have to be trusted by Your Majesty, and this matter was personally handed over by Your Majesty to the slave maid." ”

Emperor Jianheng said "um" indifferently, and then asked nonchalantly: "Then you don't have anything to say to me?"

With outstanding looks and talents, such a daughter's family was defeated, so he missed such a person in vain.

This made Emperor Jianheng, who had an excellent imperial face, feel a little uncomfortable.

"Stand down, all of you. ”

Seeing that the emperor's face gradually sank, the palace people standing in the pavilion became more and more uneasy, and now that they heard the emperor's orders, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted, and quietly retreated.

The atmosphere in the pavilion reached the freezing point, almost gradually stagnating, and just when Feng Wei's forehead was slightly soaked in cold sweat, Emperor Jianheng's voice sounded again.

"What's the matter? Do you dare to carry me behind your back now and play a play of Zhaojun out of the jam?"

"Slaves don't dare!"

Feng Wei almost knelt down with trembling legs, obviously he was already a very faceless palm print eunuch, but in front of Emperor Jianheng, he was still as in awe as before.

This scene fell in the eyes of Emperor Jianheng, but he was slightly satisfied.

"Your Majesty has always been timid, where dare to accept bribes, the ladies who are elected to the heavenly family are divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the slaves and maids dare not be in front of His Majesty, for their own selfish desires, they deliberately failed to choose. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Wei immediately kowtowed "bang", until his forehead was slightly oozing with black green, and Emperor Jianheng said indifferently: "Then tell me, why is Lady Song in the mouth of a concubine?"

Feng Wei's body, which was originally shaking like chaff, suddenly froze there, and he couldn't help but raise his eyes in fear, but it was a cold look at Emperor Shangjian Heng's judgment and cold eyes, and he was immediately startled, and hurriedly buried his head and said: "Slave, slave and maid dare not deceive Your Majesty, yes-"

I don't know if it was too nervous, or the earth dragon in the house was too warm, seeing that Feng Wei's purple robe was slightly soaked in water stains, and gradually spread out a piece, Emperor Jianheng gradually heard Feng Wei's careful and worried voice.

"When the ladies were first elected to the palace, they happened to meet King Huai who entered the palace to face the saint, and King Huai summoned the attendant in charge of the ladies to inquire at that time. ”

Emperor Jianheng's eyes gradually became filled with a foggy meaning, but he still said indifferently: "What did you ask?"

Feng Wei's body trembled more and more, and he couldn't help wiping the cold sweat from the corners of his forehead with his sleeve, and suddenly got wet.

"His Royal Highness King Huai asked at the time, and asked which family the little master of Ru Concubine was, and then he turned to ask the lady Song, and then later——"

As Feng Wei spoke, his back became more and more downward, so that when he finally fell to the ground, a muffled voice came out.

King Huai said that he heard that the palace has a strict system for selecting concubines, and even if he loses, it is common. ”

Speaking of this, Feng Wei almost used his life, and immediately suppressed his voice and did not dare to continue, and at this time, Emperor Jianheng gradually understood the meaning of these words.

"Okay, okay—"

Emperor Jianheng's dull laughter suddenly burst into laughter in the pavilion, and Feng Wei's body gradually tensed up when he heard it.

Suddenly—

Emperor Jianheng shook his sleeves violently and brushed the fruit plate and tea cup on the table on the ground, and said almost angrily: "What a good son of mine!"

The cloisonné container "clanged" and fell to the ground, shattering to the ground, and the gradually rising fragments cut through the hem of Feng Wei's clothes and fell back to the ground quietly, and the tea gradually spread on the stall, slightly smeared, like a patch of mottled blood.

Feng Wei silently trembled and did not raise his head, but under the shadows, the corners of his lips gradually floated in an imperceptible arc.

Emperor Jianheng was conceited all his life, and what he valued most was the majesty of being the Son of Heaven, but now, as his own son, King Huai dared to rob his father of a woman under the emperor's nose.

To say that it is small is to ignore human morality.

If it is said to be big, it is the following offense, and there is a suspicion of disobedience.

In the eyes of Emperor Jianheng, this is almost unforgivable.

"I beg Your Majesty to calm your anger and take care of the dragon's body. ”

Feng Wei got up in tears and bowed his head again, and said with great worry, but at this moment, Emperor Jianheng didn't listen to it at all, and only felt that an unprecedented suffocation and anger hovered in his chest for a long time, making it difficult to control himself.

What a Xiao Kang, what a disobedient and unfilial son!
