Chapter 50: The Secret Path
The Halloween banquet was really extravagant, at that time, a group of dancing girls and singers had already performed their skills, and finally withdrew from the palace, Sima Yao drank and talked with the ministers.
Sima Yao drank a glass of wine, put down the wine cup, and saw that the seat in front of the top of the left column was empty, and suddenly sighed lightly, and sighed: "Such a good day, if the seventh child is here, he will definitely get drunk with me!" ”
Empress Dowager Li has always favored the young son Sima Daozi, and that day she heard that Sima Yao sent Sima Daozi to Weishui, and she was quite unhappy in her heart, and she was still not returning on today's Halloween Day, and she was even more cold-faced.
Because Sima Daozi is not there, Wang Minhui and Sima Yuanxian also came here, but Wang Minhui's cousin Wang Guobao lives in the temple, and as a minister, he has also come here today.
Wang Guobao has always been attached to Sima Daozi, but now that Sima Daozi has been sent to Weishui, he is not happy in his heart. Xie An knew that what Sima Yao was referring to was that he advised Sima Daozi to send Sima Daozi to Weishui, so that he was snubbed by Empress Dowager Li.
He knew that Sima Yao blamed himself, so he naturally had to reply, but he deliberately avoided talking about Sima Daozi, and only said: "Your Majesty, Fu Jian is in chaos, and the battle of Weishui will be inevitable." ”
The implication is that Sima Daozi, as a minister, should go to Huangshui to investigate the military situation.
Sima Yao heard it, he was slightly displeased, and said: "Today is my Longevity Day, the prime minister can drink and have fun, and there is no need to worry about the affairs of the court." ”
Xie An smiled calmly and didn't reply, Wang Guobao saw that Sima Yao seemed to be angry in his heart, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "Prime Minister Xie Cheng is really a master!" ”
The voice fell, the hall was silent, everyone didn't dare to speak, Xie An was also stunned, how could he say nonsense, not to mention that in front of Sima Yao, this kingdom treasure clearly wanted to put him in danger!
The atmosphere was stalemate for a long time, and finally heard Sima Yao laughing loudly, and said to Wang Guobao: "The prime minister is worried about the country and the people, and his hard work is high, so he is naturally supported by the people!" ”
Huan Yi heard Sima Yaoyan "support" instead of "love", and it is not difficult to see that he is also slightly suspicious of Xie An.
The ministers echoed and laughed, and they all said, "Your Majesty Shengming! ”
When the words fell, Sima Yao continued: "As for the meritorious master, it will be sooner or later. ”
What about the master, this world will always be the world of the Sima family, and it will never be the Xie family!
The ministers didn't dare to speak, Xie An hurriedly got up, walked to the center of the main hall, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The old minister is afraid, the former Zhou Ren said 'Chen Li is listed, and if you can't stop', what the old minister does is what he should do as a minister, how to work hard, how to make high achievements." ”
Seeing him like this, Sima Yao smiled faintly, hum, count you as acquaintances!
"Prime Minister, why is this," Sima Yao made a gesture, hurriedly walked down to help Xie An up, and said with a smile: "I just joked with you, why are you still serious, hurry back to the table and sit down." ”
The matter seemed to be over, Sima Yao sat back on the seat, looked at Huan Yi and said, "I heard that Ziye is good at flute, you might as well play a song today to help the wine." ”
Huan Yi smiled faintly, then stood up, bowed slightly to Sima Yao, and then turned around and took the Ke Ting Di in Ah Bao's hand, and then walked to the center of the main hall, and said: "Weichen was ordered to sacrifice ugliness." ”
After that, he raised the Keting flute and played a song "Jade Concubine Introduction", the music was subdued and frustrated, which was intoxicating, it could really be described as "the wonderful sound of the jade finger, the dragon sound of the phoenix", a song was played, the audience was full of praise, and even Sima Yao also applauded.
Huan Yi said at this time: "Your Majesty, although Weichen is not as good as playing the flute, it is enough to sing the pipe, I hope Your Majesty will allow Weichen to sing the zither and sing a song, and I hope that someone can accompany Weichen to play the flute." ”
Although he Huan Yi is gentle by nature, he is also rebellious, he is proficient in music and rhythm, which is rare in the world, and there are few people in this world who are really blessed to have heard him play the flute and stroke the zither.
There have been many people who bought Huan Yi's song with their daughter, but they also returned in defeat, even when Xie An invited him to play the song, he failed to do so, this is where Huan Yi is rebellious.
Today, Huan Yi said this, all the ministers were pleased, Sima Yaozi also agreed, the guards moved the guzheng and stools, Huan Yi sat down, looked at Wang Xianzhi, Wang Xianzhi came here, took the Ke Ting flute, and accompanied Huan Yi.
Huan Yi sang a song: "It is not easy to be a king, it is difficult to be a good minister, faithfulness is not obvious, and there are troubles." Zhou Wang Fu Wenwu, Jin Xuangong is unfavorable, Tui Xin Fu Wang Zheng, the second uncle is anti-rumor......"
What he sang was Chen Siwang Cao Zhi's "Song of Resentment", Cao Zhi was eight years old, learned and five cars, and was a peerless son, but he was suspected and persecuted by his brother Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei, and finally died.
Huan Yi sang this song, clearly intentional, the so-called "Zhou Gong is afraid of rumors", coupled with the matter of Xie An, all the ministers have seen that he sang this song to defend Xie An, and also to advise Sima Yao with the things of the ancients, do not believe the words of the villain, and suspect the loyal ministers.
When it was, Huan Yi sang with a zither, the vocal stanza was generous, the pitch was considerable, the sound of the zither was clear, the singing voice was like a turn, Sima Yao was also moved, and his face was slightly ashamed.
Listening to Huan Yi's song today, he knows that the past has passed, he really shouldn't doubt Xie An, thinking that Xie An indulged in singing and drinking when he was young, and he couldn't stand out from the top of the mountain, how could he have the heart for the emperor's throne!
At the end of the song, Xie An was full of gratitude and did not speak, Sima Yao was ashamed and did not speak, Huan Yi saw Sima Yao like this, and secretly thought that this matter had been completed, so he stood up, bowed slightly to him, and then returned to the table and sat down.
There was a screen behind Sima Yao's seat, and there was a beautiful woman in a long red skirt standing behind the screen, the woman was born with pink makeup, like a hibiscus out of the water, a pair of beautiful eyes were slightly melancholy, and it was even more moving, she stood behind the screen and poked her head out, her eyes were on Huan Yi from beginning to end.
The palace maid behind the woman asked in a low voice, "Contouring, why don't we go over?" ”
The palace maid called her to contour, presumably this is Gu Xiurong, Gu Ying, who has been unusually favored recently.
Gu Ying retracted her gaze, also put away her grievances, turned around and said lightly: "Don't go," and left directly.
After the banquet, Huan Yi left, out of the main hall and hurried to the Dongnuan Pavilion, seeing that the jade flute was still there, naturally secretly, the secret thing was that for so long, no one found Taoge.
He took back the jade flute and stuck it on his head, then pushed the door into the Dongnuan Pavilion, who wanted to see no trace of Tao Ge, he panicked, the door was not opened, the window was locked, Tao Ge should not be here!
In a panic, he suddenly saw a rag in the crack next to the bed, seeing that this material should be Taoge's, but how could this rag be caught here, is there a mechanism under the bed, he reached out and knocked on the bed board, and the bottom was really empty!
At that time, Tao Ge had already walked through this extremely long secret passage, and at the end of the secret passage, there was a ladder in the corner of the wall, she climbed up the ladder, pushed open the wooden plank above her head, and when she got to it, she saw that it was still a bed, but this was not the room just now.
She stayed and took a closer look at this room, the furnishings in this room were minimalist, filled with a smell of incense, it shouldn't be a Buddhist hall......
Suddenly, I heard a burst of singing, it was sung by a woman, the singing voice was very good, the singing was "Autumn Moon in the Han Palace", the song was sad, and the song was sung, it seemed that the resentment was very deep.
Tao Ge followed the song to the main hall, and saw a woman sitting on a mat with her back to her, holding a pipa in her arms.
She stopped, her singing stopped, and the woman didn't look back, and said very coldly: "Today's Wanshou Festival, how can you come to see me, a cold palace woman." ”
Tao Ge was puzzled and didn't make a sound, the woman put down the pipa, stood up, turned around again, and looked at Tao Ge, and the two of them were stunned at this moment.
The face is exactly the same, just immature and flawless, one with a little vicissitudes, one with anger at the corners of his eyes, and one with a sad cloud on his eyebrows......
