Chapter 120: Heavenly Abyss Palace Changes
In the next two months, Yifu often asked Pan Sheng and Xing Antai, who were from the Zhongshu House, to send chariots and pick up Qiyun into the palace, just to let Qiyun enjoy his various strange plays. She saw that the righteous charm was uncontrolled, and she was indulging in fun all day long, putting aside the government and politics, and she couldn't help but be secretly frightened, but there was nothing she could do. I just want to live one day at a time, wait for two months to arrive, and let Yizhen go back to Jiankang.
In a flash, it was late May, on this day, Yifu sent someone to invite her to the dragon boat of Tianyuan Pond to admire the moon, and also led some concubines and palace people to play on the water, singing and dancing, and the orchestra was melodious. The moon in the abyss pool is in the sky, the waves are rippling, the breeze is refreshing, and it makes people feel happy.
The dragon boat they rode in was very luxurious and magnificent, with a wide hull, bright lacquer and gold, and hanging lights and bells at the four corners. The armrests of the tables and chairs are all made of pomegranate wood, carved with delicate bird feathers and leaves, which is lifelike. The turquoise curtains are softer than the water waves, falling from top to bottom, and the wind blows a crisp glow of the day, like smoke and mist.
Yifu held a gorgeous and enchanting concubine in her hand, and she was drunk, seeing Qiyun's lazy expression, she deliberately teased her: "I invite you to come today, but I want to show you a good thing." It took me a month to turn the palace treasury upside down, and instead of finding the green qi, I found another famous piano. And guess what? ”
"What is it?" Qiyun has always been cowardly, and when he heard this, he became a little interested.
Yifu proudly ordered someone to put the piano on the table, but he saw a well-carved lyre, made of paulownia wood, which was not unusual. When Qiyun saw that there were scorch marks on the tail of the piano, he exclaimed, "Scorched tail? ”
Yifu nodded and grinned, "Yun'er, you know the goods." Yes, this is the scorched tail. ”
Jiaowei, one of the four famous pianos. Legend has it that when Cai Yong, a great writer and musician of the Eastern Han Dynasty, was in Wudi, he rescued a section of unburned sycamore wood with an abnormal sound in the flames. According to the length and shape of the wood, he made a lyre with his own hands, and the sound was extraordinary. Because there are still scorch marks left at the end of the piano, it is named "scorched tail". "Jiaowei" is famous all over the world for its pleasant timbre and unique manufacturing method.
Qiyun couldn't help but take a closer look at the piano, her fingers lightly running over the strings, carefully as if worshipping a holy relic.
Yi Fu said: "Since you have found the Jiaowei made by Cai Yong himself, it is better to play the "Five Alleys" made by him one by one." I spent another month rehearsing his famous song with the musician, and I am waiting to invite Qiyun to enjoy it today. ”
"The emperor's kindness, Qiyun is grateful." Qiyun Yingying salutes.
Yifu waved his hand and asked the musician on the dragon boat to play Cai Yong's "You Chun", "Lushui", "Secluded House", "Sitting Sorrow" and "Autumn Thoughts" one by one. The music is beautiful, and the burnt tail timbre is wonderful, which makes the listener feel enchanted and enchanted. Yifu sat down for a short time, and couldn't help but start laughing with the concubines on the left and right.
Although Qiyun has long been surprised, he feels that it violates this celestial music when he sees this scene. couldn't help but feel bored, stood up and slowly paced to the bow of the boat, and stood tall. Listening to the musicians' performance of "Sitting Sorrowful", Qiyun couldn't help but secretly think that Cai Yong had amazing talent and was appreciated by Dong Zhuo. After Dong Zhuo was executed, on Wang Chong's seat, Cai Yong sighed softly and regretted, and was handed over by Wang Chong to Tingwei for punishment, and died in prison at the end. also thought of his daughter Cai Wenji, who was in troubled times, drifting around, and miserable all her life.
Qiyun thought silently, shallow horizontal flute, slowly moving his fingers, and the eighth beat of Cai Wenji's "Eighteen Beats of Hu Ji" involuntarily flowed out of his lips:
"The sky is boundless, and my heart is also sorrowful.
Life is as fleeting as a white horse, but I can't be happy when I'm in my prime.
I want to ask the sky, but there is no reason for the sky.
Raise your head and look up at the clouds and smoke, and who is nostalgic for nine beats. ”
The sound of the flute is melodious and tactful, sad and sad, startling countless cold herons, inciting wings to flutter away, as if they can't bear to listen to it anymore. The laughter in the cabin gradually stopped.
The sound of the flute was in his ears, and Yifu woke up a little drunk, pushed away the concubine who was leaning on his body, and walked to the bow of the boat step by step. The moon is in the middle of the sky, the blue waves are sparkling, the water mist is thick, and the clouds are facing away from everyone, playing the flute. The hazy moonlight plated a layer of pale silver halo on her body, the moon-white skirt sleeves fluttered lightly in the evening breeze, the back was slender, weak and invincible, and proudly independent, lonely and noble, with the posture of alpine snow lotus.
This scene is like in a dream, Yifu held a wine glass, looked at Qiyun in a daze, and said an elegant sentence for the first time: "Your flute is beautiful, and it is too bleak." For some reason, an ominous premonition surged in my heart.
Qiyun put down the jade flute, and the sound of breaking the sky behind him roared sharply. Liu Yifu was startled, woke up suddenly, threw the wine glass, hugged Qiyun, and fell on the board of the dragon boat. An arrow feather grazed the top of Qiyun's head, piercing a lantern, the candle flame was extinguished, and the arrow was nailed to the ship's post, and the arrow body trembled and buzzed with a deafening sound.
Before everyone came to their senses, many hooks were thrown from the shore, hooking the hull of the boat and pulling the dragon boat to the shore.
Seeing this change, there was an exclamation in the cabin immediately, and the concubines were all frightened, and their faces were as pale as dirt. The ladies of the luthier also got up and ran like headless flies. A lot of the stools on the table were knocked over, and the dishes and teacups on them fell to the ground, and the sound of breaking was even more terrifying.
The guards stepped forward to protect Liu Yifu, and some eunuchs shouted loudly: "The emperor is here, who dares to disturb the emperor's holy drive?" Although his voice was sharp, he couldn't hide the fear in his heart, and he trembled a little.
When the dragon boat docked, I saw the torches on the shore held high, as if it were daytime. The leaders were actually Xing Antai and Pan Sheng, who were bribed and defected. They divided the defenders in advance, and led the sergeants outside to rush all the way to the edge of the Heavenly Abyss Pool.
Xu Xianzhi and Tan Daoji lined up and announced the will of the Queen Mother:
"The royal family did not create, the natural disaster did not regret, the first emperor started a business and abandoned the world. The eldest heir of righteousness belongs to the heavenly position, which is not a ferocious and extremely contradictory thing, as far as this is concerned. In the position of the emperor, the battle of Fuli; The respect of all multipliers, the joy of the matter. Personally whipped, beaten innocent, thought laughing. Piercing the pond to build a view, the morning into the twilight destruction; Craftsmen are requisitioned, and the people are extremely tired. Sighing near and far, the people and gods are angry. The society is about to fall, how can it resume the heir to guard the flood industry and reign over all nations. Now abolished as the king of Yingyang, a story based on Han Changyi and Jin Haixi. ”
After the announcement, Xu Xianzhi and Tan Daoji commanded the sergeants to step forward. Like a wolf, the sergeant rushed onto the dragon boat, drew his sword and stepped forward, cut down the guards who were protecting Liu Yifu to the ground, and stepped forward to surround the Yifu group.
The powerful generals abolished the emperor, and the earth-shattering palace change was just around the corner. When Qiyun saw the formation in front of him, he couldn't help but be so shocked that his heart thumped, and his body trembled slightly.
