Chapter Twenty-Eight: Mountains and Flowing Water
Sometimes he almost wondered whether Song Heng left Shen Nanyan in the palace some time ago because he really liked her, or whether he used her to contain the Shen family, whether he was sincere or used more?
Although Song Heng's ruthlessness is not noticed now, he also knows that there will always be a day to see it, and it is always just a matter of time.
All in all, his son-in-law is far less ruthless, ruthless, and unfathomable than Song Heng. If you become friends with this kind of person, it's okay, if you become a hostile person, one day his son-in-law will definitely not be able to fight him, and it is good not to be played by Song Heng's calculations and tricks, and it is a great luck to survive, but I am afraid that the end will be miserable in the future. No good beginning, no good end.
Within the palace wall, the corridor is deep and very long, the gate path, countless, pedestrians come and go, a palace dress, tall, short, fat and thin, although there is no bit of posture, a variety of colors but also a color in the palace. The palaces are staggered and located in the east, west, north and south.
Green tiles and red walls, the environment is quiet. A palace located in a remote part of the palace, the black plaque on the door is written with two gilded characters of "Fang Xe". Although the environment is secluded, the prosperity of the repair should not be underestimated.
Behind the curtain, a person sits on the ground, slowly caressing the piano in the elegant fragrance, gently twisting and wiping the re-picking, the sound of the piano flows between the ups and downs of the fingertips, or virtual or real, light or heavy, and is changeable.
The timbre is ever-changing, like a secluded stream dripping spring, clear and ethereal and exquisite, and then the water gathers into a gurgling strong current, with tenacious vitality through the mountains and mountains, reefs and shoals, as if not afraid of wind and waves, as if regardless of the danger, only do the torrent that fights bravely, with all his strength, shouting out the injustice in his heart.
As soon as he walked near the palace, he already heard the sound of the piano, and he didn't need to ask the next person to know who was playing the piano again, Mu Zhao was quietly at the door of the palace, waiting for Song Heng's summons.
Before the battle had even begun, he had already lost.
Song Heng asked the shadow guard to pass on him, which was nothing more than a warning to him that all his actions were already in his own hands, so that he should always remember the identity of the monarch and minister, and not try to cross this line and covet what should not belong to him.
There should be another reason for letting that shadow guard come, Song Heng already knows about him and Shen Nanyan. That shadow guard was sent by Song Heng to protect Shen Nanyan, and now he has sent a shadow guard who specializes in protecting Shen Nanyan to pass on a message to him, and he must have gone to Song Heng to reply before he came to pass the word.
Let him come today, not in the imperial study or the Xuanshu Palace, and there is a reason for choosing this remote and luxurious palace, now Song Heng is playing the piano in it, and it is just a matter of talking about the piano, but this song is called "High Mountains and Flowing Water".
Boya Zhongzi is a lifelong confidant, Boya drums and pianos, Zhongzi is good at listening, the two cherish each other and are each other's bosom friends. This is the song that Boya often plays, but unfortunately after the death of Zhongzi, Boya broke off the strings to sacrifice his bosom friend.
The song chosen by Song Heng is intended to break up.
The song "Mountains and Flowing Water" is full of clouds and water, comfortable and free, in one go, clear and rhyme, and it is by no means as radical as it is today, like the sound of rolling waves.
He vented all his grievances and anger in this song.
The movement of the fingertips slowed down, and the sound stopped abruptly without any procrastination. The whole song is played from slow to intense, and there is never the slightest slowness or transition.
In the end, the song did not merge into the rolling river and sea, and tended to be calm, only ending so quickly, just as the anger implied in the song would not calm down anyway.
He didn't know how long he had been standing here, and he didn't know what attitude and mood he should take to Song Heng's hints.
Is it really that heart-wrenching? After separating from each other, they became depressed and got a cold, almost endangering their lives.
Are you really that angry? After learning about him and her, he hinted with the sound of the piano that Shengsheng was going to break off their love for so many years.
He only knew that at that moment, he wanted to run to the Shen Mansion without hesitation, run to her side, even if it was good to look at her.
He only knew that at this moment, he really hoped that Song Heng in the palace, his king, and brother could finish this song, don't let it stop abruptly, let it tend to be calm, only the overtones remain, like the waves splashed by the fish jumping on the water, just like the mountains and flowing water, no matter how to play it, it is still ethereal and long, just like the affection of the Bo Yazi period, there is a beginning and an end, and the affection is still there.
Not long after the sound of the piano dissipated, Zheng Fuhai came late from the hall, and his face was full of apologies: "It's all because the slaves at the door are not sensible, Mu Gongzi, you don't report when you come." Thanks to the emperor, he made a special trip to ask if you are here. ”
There are Song Heng's people inside and outside here, when did he come, and what did he do, I am afraid that it has already reached Song Heng's ears through the eyeliner, and now letting him wait outside the palace is just to frustrate his sharpness, where you want you to wait, you have to wait.
"I didn't let them report it, the emperor is playing the piano, how can he be distracted for me?" Mu Zhao spoke gently.
Zheng Fuhai smiled and sorted out the fallen leaves that fell on his head for Mu Zhao, and said softly: "Mu Gongzi, come with me into the palace, the emperor has been waiting here for a long time." ”
"Yes."
Entering the inner hall, the extravagance and luxury in the house are even greater, the fine white jade paved ground shines with a warm light, and there seems to be a curling mist in the distance shrouding this remote and quiet but extremely luxurious palace, the phoenix is ready to fly on the eaves carved from sandalwood, and the wall panels made of floating windows and jade are carved from green tiles.
The six-foot-wide agarwood made of wide bed is hung with a shark silk treasure luo tent, which is embroidered with pearls and silver thread begonia flowers. The furnishings in the hall are brand new, and its luxury is needless to say.
When Mu Zhao came in, Song Heng was leaning on the couch and wiping the palm with a handkerchief, showing the deep majesty of his body between the pitchers, and when he came in, he smiled and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time." ”
"Wechen obeys." Mu Zhao saluted as usual before slowly getting up.
has been with him for many years, and he still knows more or less about Song Heng's temperament. Song Heng didn't show it at all on his face, and the anger in his heart was afraid that it had reached the top, and now he was afraid that his politeness was only the beginning.
"How do you think we can play this piece when you get home?" Song Heng asked with a smile.
"The emperor's piano skills are superb, and the level of appreciation is even more first-class, and Weichen does not dare to make conclusions."
Mu Zhao threw the question to Song Heng again, and Song Heng asked him this question in a tune, didn't he just let him express his opinion on their breakup.
Smart people and smart people talk like this, metaphors, similes, and metaphors, Song Heng knew that Mu Zhao understood his intentions and understood what he was talking about, Mu Zhao deliberately turned the problem back like this, he was not as good as he wanted, "Compared to calligraphy, painting and piano skills, who can compare to you?" Could the reputation of Kyoto's No. 1 genius be fake? ”
Song Heng's words were extremely profound, seemingly praising Mu Zhao, but with a little jealousy of his talent, even if he was expressing jealousy, he was right, Mu Zhao is indeed the first talent in Beijing, and his talent is much higher than Song Heng, so doesn't it mean that Fang Cai Mu Zhao's words are satirizing the king's talent is not as good as himself?
How could the king be jealous that he was not as talented as his courtiers, Song Heng's words were just forcing Mu Zhao to make him have to answer the question he asked, otherwise he would be sarcastic about the king and commit the following crimes. If you don't think about it, it's a difficult question to answer.
Song Heng asked him to answer this question, in fact, he was asking him what he thought of the two of them breaking up? If he replied that the song was good, he was in favor of a break, and from then on the two of them had nothing to do with each other, and they did not need to say much, they were both smart people, and they did not have to go through quarrels and centrifuges to break off their relationship.
If he replied that the song was not good, wouldn't he be questioning the power of the king? This is also the following offense, besides, although he and Song Heng have been brothers for many years, in the end they are still different from the monarch and the minister, the king wants to cut off the minister, how dare the minister disobey?
Even if you don't follow the future? What can I do, the suspicion has arisen, and what can I do to restore their relationship to the original state?
"Wechen is terrified, the emperor's piano skills are unique, calligraphy, painting and poetry are even more everyone, Weichen is beyond the reach of the dust, and the emperor said this and this makes Weichen feel embarrassed and extremely frightened." Mu Zhao knelt on the ground and replied softly.
"Huh? Panic, your poetry and songs are not good? Song Heng sneered, "If it's not good, how can you provoke a beautiful woman to secretly promise for you, how many times will you get sick?" ”
Talent is obviously the first in Kyoto, he just wants to be humble here, even called panic, he is nothing more than to let Mu Zhao make a choice, he wants to hesitate here, bypass this topic, Song Heng simply opened the window and said bright words, to him clearly, regardless of the expression on Mu Zhao's face at the moment, he said in a deep voice: "Mu Guishi, you are really good, I have already warned you when you went to Youzhou to do business a few days ago, you are still stubborn, and you are here to hinder my eyes." ”
When he encountered the back, no matter how much Song Heng restrained himself, he couldn't help but be angry, and the tone behind him was almost angry.
Although he knew that Song Heng was far from being as simple as everyone saw, seeing Song Heng's angry appearance today, Mu Zhao couldn't help but tremble in his heart, and was slightly stunned: "Is the emperor's move serious?" ”
Song Heng asked rhetorically: "Serious what?" Want to break with you? Or do you really like Shen Nanyan? ”
Mu Zhao's words were completely unexpected by him, he thought that he would defend one or two, or ask him here why he wanted to stay away from Shen Nanyan, but after listening to this question, he asked himself such an irrelevant question, so weak and incompetent, soft-hearted and infatuated, so useless, no wonder everyone in Kyoto is slandering him openly and secretly behind his back, his biological father obviously doesn't live with him, but he still has to suppress and ridicule him everywhere, where does his biological brother regard him as family, and he is either resentful or disgusted with him.
Originally, he was just a gentle and jade son, treated people gently, ignored the gossip of others, and he and Ah Jin helped him cook, but now it seems that he is just a weak and useless person.
