How far can a person go for the sake of power and fame?
Back at Du's Mansion, it was already dark, Wen Xi yawned and threw himself on the bed, obviously sleepy, but at the moment he was sleepless. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info She turned over, looked up at the silk silk hanging down from the dust, the high bed and soft pillows, and the embroidered Zhu Lou, but it was not as reassuring to her as the simple bamboo house. She turned sideways again, her arms resting on her head, a few faint creases between her eyebrows, and she looked out the window at the morning light.
Thinking about it, drowsiness hit, and when she fell asleep, she didn't know herself......
- Master, Master?
- Oh, it's Konishi.
- Where have you been?
- You didn't go anywhere, but you walked around, were you obedient?
- Ahhhh
- Hahaha, silly girl.
The man picked her up, Wen Xi blushed for a moment, smelling the faint smell of spring grass on his body, and was a little reluctant to let go.
- Girl, no matter how long you grow, Master will not be able to hold you.
- Huh?
As soon as Wen Xi lowered his head, his hands and feet became short and small, and when he touched his cheeks, he was not as thin as a girl, but as fleshy as he was, what about Master?
For a while, she was sad and happy, and for a moment she couldn't tell whether the past ten years were in her dream or in a dream at the moment.
- Master, don't leave me next time, I don't want to follow Du Yu to Kyoto.
- Okay, if I don't go to Kyoto, I won't leave you behind......
- Master......
Wency wrapped his arms around the man's neck and hugged the ...... tightly
The sun gradually shifted to the west, shining through the pane on Wincy's face, and when she opened her eyes, a tear slipped down, and when she awoke, she was still looking at the embroidered bed and silver tents. She sat up, desperately trying to remember the smiling face of the man in the dream, but gradually she couldn't remember it, and finally, she couldn't remember what the dream did.
Wen Xi was suddenly frightened, she jumped up suddenly, put on her clothes, tied her hair haphazardly, ran towards Du Yu's yard, and almost bumped into Xiao Yan, the maid who served her, Xiao Yan hurriedly beckoned: "Miss Wen, eat something, it's been a day!"
Wen Xi turned a deaf ear and broke into Du Yu's courtyard all the way, but saw two people sitting in the pavilion on the pool in the courtyard, one was Du Yu, and the other didn't recognize it, and Du Shaojue was standing respectfully outside the pavilion.
When Du Shaojue saw her, he frowned at her and motioned for her to stop.
Wen Xi couldn't help but lighten her steps, but Du Yu still noticed it, glanced back, and shook his head at her gently.
Wen Xi stood in the distance, looked left and right, the spring breeze was blowing, the silence was silent, she shook her hand, and sat down on the rockery by the pool.
"Mingyi, I know that this matter is embarrassing to you, but such a secret, what reassures me is that there are really few people, in the past few years, I don't dare to keep people by my side, otherwise, it will harm them. "The one who spoke was San Lang of Qingfeng Ju that day, and he was also the king of Zhou in Du Shaojue's mouth.
"Your Highness is Tao Wuluo, why worry about the followers of the Ming. In the next long absence, it is already a wild crane idle cloud, and he is used to being indifferent, he can't move his mind, and he can't plan anything. Du Yu said.
King Zhou smiled bitterly: "Why do you need to say this prevarication to me, do you and I still need to beat around the bush when we speak?"
Du Yu lowered his eyes and said, "Your Highness, it is also a heartfelt word. ”
King Zhou picked up the teacup, touched his lips slightly, and said: "I know that you have a grudge in your heart over the years, back then, when Prince Huaide never passed away, if you became a concubine in Xiancheng, the Du family would indeed be an excellent help for the prince...... Second brother, he designed you to stay at a prostitute house at night on the day and night when you face the saint and ask for a kiss, all this is known to the saint, and he also understands that you are innocent, but you are just ...... The royal majesty cannot be desecrated, you have been wronged for so many years, and Xiancheng has also closed itself up for many years, you hate these things, why don't I hate them......"
Du Yu was silent.
King Zhou said again: "The saint is afraid, he is afraid that the rebellion of the year will be repeated among his sons, hehe, he doesn't understand, but he doesn't want to understand, and a ball of mud sacrificed you, so as to cover up that his two sons have long been incompatible." ”
Du Yu frowned and said, "It was the misconduct that brought shame to the princess." ”
King Zhou looked at him and said, "Don't you hate! Mingyi, back then, I couldn't do anything! I watched my best friend go away to the end of the world in discouragement, and I saw that my sister, the only one in the deep palace who really treated me, has been cold for ten years. ”
"No need to say it, Your Highness!" Du Yu accentuated his tone and spit out this sentence word by word.
King Zhou stared at him, and said slowly: "Do you think that King Chen will not mind the things of the year? The saint is undecided about the position of the prince, and he has snubbed him several times, and now he is gaining momentum, and one day he will ascend to that place, and he will have no scruples, it will be a fairy city, and he can be stable in the nunnery for a few days? ”
Du Yu closed his eyes tightly and refused to answer.
Seeing that he was indifferent, King Zhou couldn't help clenching his fists, and said with hatred: "Mingyi, Mingyi, I don't know, it turns out that you are so hard-hearted!"
Du Yu was still silent.
King Zhou suddenly stretched his eyes, looked ahead, and saw Wen Xi beside the pool in the distance bowing with both hands and teasing the fish, and said: "Shuyang is noisy all day long to practice martial arts, the palace guards dare not do anything with her, Lin Guifei has been exhausted due to the saint's illness, and has never paid attention to her, she has made a lot of trouble, I happened to see that the girl you brought back that day is good, and I got up for a moment, so I recommended her in front of the concubine, and I thought that only a few days, a female official came to teach her some palace etiquette. ”
Du Yu suddenly stared at King Zhou and said, "Your Highness also asked the concubine to take back her fate, she grew up in the small mountains, she is not used to restraint, and she is afraid of bumping into Princess Shuyang." ”
King Zhou smiled and said, "It's okay, Shu Yang doesn't like to follow the rules, it's good to have someone to play with her." ”
Du Yu let out a long sigh and said, "Your Highness's mental technique makes Du Yu panic. ”
King Zhou said: "What I said, please think carefully about it." With that, he brushed his sleeves and left.
Wen Xi turned his head and watched Du Shaojue walk with the man he didn't know, sprinkled the water in his hand, jumped into the pavilion, and sat down in front of Du Yu.
Du Yu bowed his head and was silent, still cooking tea with a pu fan, he changed a porcelain cup, poured a new tea soup, and said, "Drink?"
Wen Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip: "Bitter." ”
Du Yu chuckled: "It's Piluo, naturally a little bitter." ”
Wen Xi tilted his head and said, "It's the tea of the old monk Ming, no wonder it's not delicious, why do you want to come?"
Du Yu smiled: "I think it's quite a bit of an aftertaste." ”
Wincy twisted his fingers, and stopped talking.
Du Yu raised his eyes and looked at her, seeing that her hair was a little messy, her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and she looked full of sorrow, and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Wen Xi said: "I want to go back to Qingmeng Mountain." ”
Du Yu stopped pouring tea, paused for a moment, nodded and said, "Good ......"
"Huh?" Wen Xi was surprised and said, "Why are you so happy this time?"
Du Yu sighed slightly and said, "You go to the Jingshui Zen Monastery first, and after a while, I will send someone to pick you up." ”
Wen Xi didn't have half the excitement to leave this restrained Kyoto, and there was a hidden uneasiness in his heart: "Du Yu, I'm not a child anymore, I have eyes, ears, and brains, I can see and hear, and I will think carefully, you and Master, what can't you tell me?"
Du Yu looked at a pool of lotus leaves with new sprouts, frowned deeply, and said: "Before he left, he told me that he should take good care of you, and he must not teach you to be wronged, find a stable and good family, so that you can rely on it for life, and ...... in this life." If you can't see each other, in the next life, I will make a ...... with you."
"In this life...... If we can't see each other......" Wen Xi burst into tears, she simply buried her head and sobbed with her arms folded.
Du Yu looked at her twitching shoulders, did not persuade her, and waited until she had cried enough before handing over a cup of tea.
Wen Xi scribbled his sleeve around, turned his head, and said, "Then I'm not going back." ”
Du Yu looked at her.
Wen Xi said angrily: "Anyway, where is it different?"
Du Yu smiled and said, "Okay, where you want to be, you can be there." ”
After a short time, Du Shaojue went and returned, standing outside the pavilion and bowed respectfully to Du Yu: "Sixth uncle." ”
Du Yu smiled, looked deeply at Du Shaojue, who was half-bowed, and said, "Shaojue, I thought the eldest brother was dizzy, and the Du family ...... At least there's a sober-minded person like you. ”
Du Shaojue raised his head, also looked at Du Yu, and said: "Sixth uncle, Liguan is lost, the Chinese army has besieged the city for half a month, Shu Shaoyi is clearly in Yingjiabao, two hundred miles away, but he is unwilling to send troops to relieve the siege. Jiang Yun couldn't hold on, the food was exhausted, the city was killing himself, he left a way for the Jiang family to live, do you think the next one to become the stepping stone of King Chen is the Meng family, or our Du family!"
Du Yu was expressionless, and said coldly: "So you put the lives of hundreds of people in the Du family on the big and small?"
Du Shaojue glanced at Wen Xi, and saw Wen Xi squatting on the banquet sipping the bitter tea, as if he was indifferent to their conversation, and he said to Du Yu: "At least, this is still a way to live than to sit still." ”
"Hehe, hehehe......" Du Yu shrugged his shoulders, sneered a few times, and suddenly picked up the tea that had already cooled on the case and splashed it on Du Shaojue's face, and said, "Get out-"
Du Shaojue closed his eyes, took down the pot of tea, his face was calm, half angry and embarrassed, he slowly took out a towel from his arms, wiped the water marks on his face, and still said respectfully: "Yes." ”
Wen Xi blinked his eyes, looked at Du Shaojue's back, and then looked at Du Yu.
Du Yu sat back on the seat, put his hand on his face, and sighed deeply: "Xiaoxi, how far do you think people can go for wealth, power, and fame?"
Wen Xi thought for a moment and said, "A few years ago, Master took me out on a trip, and we arrived in a small town, and there was a murder in the town that night. The deceased was the old abbot of the temple, who had his hands cut off and his head cut off, and his death was miserable. Later, the master saw the clues, and carefully investigated, and found out that it was the old abbot's neighbor who did evil, and the two had never had any grudges, but this neighbor was lazy to do it, and that night he wanted to steal a copper furnace from the temple to pawn the gambling money, but he never thought that it would be noticed by the old abbot, and the old abbot was guarding the copper furnace to the death, and he refused to let go when his arm was cut off, and the neighbor slashed the old abbot to death just because of the copper furnace. A copper furnace is worth two lives, not to mention a rich family like the Du family, who can easily give it up?"
"Hehe......" Du Yu smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, sooner or later, the Du family will also end up because of a copper furnace......"
Wen Xi looked at him and said, "That person ...... just now"
Du Yu said: "That is the third prince of the saint, named King Zhou." ”
Wen Xi said curiously, "You won't help him?
Du Yu smiled: "I have a cloth cloth, what can I help the prince?"
Wen Xi pursed his lips and said, "He came to invite you, then you may really have something extraordinary." ”
Du Yu laughed: "Thanks to Lady Wen's praise, Du is very honored." ”
Wency snorted and glared at him with her hands folded.
Du Yu smiled again, twisted his fingertips lightly, and sighed slightly: "The emperor's mind and spirit, how can it be like this?"
"Huh?" Wency was still puzzled.
Du Yu stretched out his hand, flicked her forehead, and said with a smile: "Say you're smart, you're stupid again." ”
Wen Xi slapped his hand unhappily: "You're a fool! ”
Du Yu shook his head with a smile, and then looked at the sky that was about to lose its afterglow.
Wen Xi saw that his expression was suddenly a little silent, so he got up and said, "I'll go back first." ”
Du Yu nodded.
