Chapter 3 Qing Pingle
"Okay, since you confessed to the first question, it's the turn of the second. Are you deluded by the regent? Whatever he asks, you answer. You know, there are some things that can't be said......"
Yueming Road.
Long Lan'er patted her chest and said, "Trust me! I was not deceived! Although he is a little better-looking, I only appreciate him as if he were a vase, but what I really like is Murong Yan, and it has never changed! ”
When Yueming heard this, she couldn't cry or laugh: "Moved out of Murong Yan again, you can spare him, you have played him several times." ”
"I mean really, I like it."
Long Lan'er grinned.
The regent pointed his hand, and the waiter hurriedly stepped forward.
"What do you know?"
The waiter hesitated: "Please let the regent let them perform." ”
"Come, pass on my instructions, ask the unknown musician to prepare, and perform tonight."
"Yes."
The sound of poetry and book recitation came from the back garden of the Prime Minister's Mansion of Wei State, attracting Tuoba Zijian who was walking on the road.
Since returning from defeating the Zhou Kingdom, the Tuoba clan has raised his eyebrows, and he has also been valued by his father.
Now that he was recuperating at home, he overheard the voice of a woman reciting.
Through the flowers, blowing away the green leaves, I saw a slender figure standing in front of a peach blossom tree, the breeze was light, and the fragrance was bursting.
"It turned out to be my sister-in-law."
Tuoba Zijian stepped forward with a smile.
"Zijian."
Zhen Luo looked at him in surprise.
"Does my sister-in-law also like poetry books?"
Tuoba Zijian smiled, "This is the same as my brother's interests." ”
"I don't dare to compare with my husband,"
Zhen Luo smiled slightly shyly, "I heard that the self-built literary talent is not bad at all. ”
"I don't dare to be, but I can barely say a few words to my sister-in-law."
Tuoba Zijian waved his hand.
"If you cut it, you can learn it, and if you grind it."
Zhen Luo looked at the peach blossom tree, "I don't know when my husband will come back." ”
"The eldest brother went to find his father, and he must not be able to come back for a while. My father took me to fight this time, and I really benefited a lot from it."
Tuoba Zijian nodded, "However, the eldest brother ......"
Tuoba De and Tuoba Zihuan were talking in the study at this time.
"Father, now that the Zhou Kingdom is gone, our voice is very high. Moreover, the king of Wei is dead, and the new king is not strong, so why not take this opportunity to be king? ”
"Do you know that you are saying this in a big way?"
Tuobad sat down in his seat and said unhurriedly.
Tuoba Zihuan was stunned and said, "Now that morale is high, it's indeed a good time." ”
Tuobad shook his head and said, "You really don't understand. Go ahead. ”
"Father!"
"Go ahead."
Tuobad closed his eyes and waved his hand, obviously not wanting to say any more.
Tuoba Zihuan came out with an earthy face, and he was meeting a suave son.
The boy hurriedly stopped him.
"Huh? Isn't this the eldest prince? ”
Tuoba Zihuan raised his head: "It's Brother Zixiu." ”
"Exactly, I haven't seen you for a while, why do you look so haggard? Something doesn't go your way. ”
Zixiu asked with concern.
Tuoba Zihuan thought in his heart, this Zhang Zixiu was originally his classmate with Tuoba Zihuan, and later was appreciated by his father because of his talent and quick thinking, so he was invited to be a staff member in the house and could enter and leave freely.
He can be regarded as a person who can be reassured, so he said: "There are indeed some things that are not clear, and I want to ask Brother Zixiu." ”
"Why should you and I be polite."
Zhang Zixiu said.
"Then take a step to speak."
"Please."
After the two talked alone, Zhang Zixiu understood the cause and effect, and he pondered for a while and said, "This matter is like this. Now although the first king is gone, the prince is still there; Although Prime Minister Zuo pacified the Zhou State, after all, he was only the prime minister, and the relationship between the monarch and the minister was not so simple to overcome. The time has not yet come. ”
"Why do you say that!"
Tuoba Zihuan asked.
"From a domestic point of view, the right prime minister's faction will definitely oppose it, and he is not easy to mess with; Looking abroad, even if we don't talk about countries such as Goguryeo and Yan, it is unknown whether the imperial city will make a move against us; Rouran has been overthrown, and the Xia Kingdom has taken its place, and it is said that the governance is extremely strict, and the martial arts are respected, which is even more extraordinary than in the past; The new state of Liao to the north is also rising, and this pattern is not safe for us. ”
Zhang Zixiu analyzed.
"Then what do you think, what will my father do?"
"Solve the external problems first. Chopping the grass to eradicate the roots, the original Zhou allied Goguryeo State escaped, which was the prince's benevolence. But the prime minister was a decisive man, and he would definitely lead his troops to destroy the Goguryeo Kingdom. At the same time, it is necessary to weaken and even eliminate the power of the right prime minister. In fact, as soon as the first king died, the right prime minister lost his most important reliance, which was not a problem, it was only a matter of time. ”
Tuoba Zihuan nodded.
Zhang Zixiu continued: "For the imperial city, we must show great submission, now that the young emperor has appeared, there will definitely be a fight between the regent and the young emperor." As long as we do the superficial work, they won't have time to take care of us. So it's not that the prime minister disagrees with you, but there are still a lot of things that have not yet been done, and we can't expose our purpose so early. ”
"Thank you, Brother Zi. Sure enough, you are the one who knows my father's mind best. ”
Tuoba Zihuan thanked Zhang Zixiu.
"Where, where."
Zhang Zixiu smiled.
A light curtain separates the air, adding mystery and sacredness.
The regent sat on one side of the curtain, and the other sat in front of the table on the other side and began to stroke the harp.
The regent closed his eyes and listened quietly.
Long Lan'er breathed a sigh of relief behind the curtain, at first she thought that the regent would not agree to their performance conditions, but she didn't expect him to be as gentle and amiable as he appeared to be.
She sneaked a glance behind her, then continued to focus on her movements.
After the song, the regent had not yet opened his eyes, and seemed to be reminiscing.
After a while, his gentle voice and applause were heard.
"It's a good play."
He said, beckoning, the waiter stepped forward and lifted the curtain, revealing Long Lan'er's veiled figure.
"Can you show this king what you look like?"
Said the regent.
"This ......"
Long Lan'er was a little embarrassed, but she did so anyway and took off her veil.
The regent smiled and said, "You still look very young." ”
"Huh?"
Long Lan'er didn't understand what it meant.
"Qing Pingle."
The Lord Regent stood up, "Not bad. ”
Long Lan'er fell to the ground and sent the regent off.
When he looked up, he was still confused, what did he mean?
A person walked out of the thick curtain beside her, Yueming looked at Long Lan'er and said, "I'm afraid that I won't be able to hide it for long, I will do my best to complete my task, and you will also do your best." Otherwise, you won't be able to escape......"
Long Lan'er grinned: "Is there a place I can't escape?" ”
