Chapter 313: Wu Rui's Redemption
In the past, the corpses were bleeding outside the palace of the king of Jiujiang, which had already been cleaned up, and the blood seeped into the ground and could not be cleaned up, and the mulberry trees had been planted when the snow fell, and the cooking Dading did not know where it was sent by the Hengshan soldiers.
The scene of the past no longer exists, and the laughter of the people of Jiujiang is all over the streets, but Wu Rui in front of Ziying can't bring up the smile.
Ziying lowered his body and walked into the main hall, and was suddenly blocked by a man in white in front of him.
"You don't want to die?!" The voice squeezed out between his teeth, it was Mao Qiao's voice.
"The widow said that there is something important to discuss with the king of Hengshan, and this trip is not for conquest, but for the people of Qindi." Ziying resolutely said.
Mao Qiao's hands trembled under his sleeves, "There are two people in the hall, one is Lu Pheasant, and the other is Mei Kai, who has a heart for Liu Bang." The two of them are Jiujiang, Hengshan territory, just the attendants have brought more than hundreds, and there are no more than 10,000 reinforcements outside the six cities, if they recognize it, Wu Rui can't protect you! Do you really think that a black cloth can hide your identity? β
"It doesn't matter, if they cause trouble, the widow can let the two of them die on the spot." Ziying said lightly.
Recalling the old man's words of 'bin yu wang', Ziying put away his murderous intent.
Wu Rui and the four people in the palace were silent for a long time, and when they saw Ziying and Mao Qiao deadlocked, they couldn't help but be suspicious.
"Mao Qiao, why are you blocking the poet?!" Wu Rui frowned and asked.
"He..."Mao Qiao's eyes rolled, and he said hurriedly, "This person brought a sword to the palace, it is really inappropriate, and the minister is persuading this person to remove the sword." β
"Nonsense! The poet is not an assassin, and Mr. Lingjun still likes to wear a sword, how can there be a reason to unload the sword at will? Mao Ping said hurriedly, for fear that Mao Qiao would anger Wu Rui.
"It doesn't matter! Mr. Mi Yuan is a nobleman who can wear a sword, and he is only an envoy under him, so he does not dare to compare with him, and he should unload the sword. Ziying said, handing the sword to the attendants outside the palace, "Send it to the outside of the palace, so as not to disturb the king of Hengshan with murderous energy." β
"If you don't have a sword, you won't have any life!" Mao Qiao whispered.
Ziying no longer cares, and it is in his plan to go without Chixiao, even if Mao Qiao doesn't say it, he will find an opportunity to let people give it away.
The waiter came out with a sword, and Ziying lowered his body and walked slowly to Mei Kai and Lu Pheasant.
Lu Pheasant stole a glance at the baby, and always felt that he had seen it somewhere.
"Dare to ask Mr. who is the envoy of the country?" Wu Rui asked, her tone extremely calm, "Why do you mask your face with cloth?" β
Mao Qiao was stunned when he heard this, and silently thought that Ziying must not say that it was the Qin State.
Although Zhao and Wei were invaded by the Xiongnu, they could get out under the guise of their names.
"Under ... Qin envoys... Hehua! Ziying bowed his hand and said respectfully, "Just because of his ugly appearance, he doesn't dare to frighten King Hengshan." β
"Qin State ?!!"
Mao Qiao's face turned pale, Lu Pheasant, and Mei Hong instantly turned grief into anger, while Mao Ping looked at Ziying with strange eyes.
"Bashu was destroyed by the Qin State, and Ziying still dares to send a messenger here?!" Mei was furious.
"What does Taihou mean by this? This place was originally the capital of Jiujiang State, and now it is owned by the King of Hengshan. If it's Meiling, it's not Nanjun, why should it come down? Ziying retorted, "The king of Hengshan once ordered the Great Qin Poyang, and now the woman is dead, and the king has specially sent condolences below." β
"We are welcome to come for condolences." Lu Pheasant couldn't help but say angrily, and then whispered, "You wait for Ben Hou, Ziying dares to humiliate Ben Hou in Chu Ying, and the accounts of the past will be counted on you!" β
"Is it really sent by Ziying?" Wu Rui closed his eyes and muttered, "This king is grateful to King Qin." β
For three years, Wu Rui didn't know what Qin thought about him as a traitor. was originally to protect the people from being invaded by the rogues, and then the world became anti-Qin, coupled with the harsh government, Wu Rui thought that the world would be stable after the death of Qin. Unexpectedly, it backfired, and the conquest of the world was still endless.
After the son was reinstated, his daughter died at the hands of the commander of the Qin Dynasty, and Wu Rui shook the choice of the year. If Ziying blames him, he can have peace of mind. Regardless of the previous suspicions, Wu Rui was grateful and guilty.
"What condolences?! Ziying clearly knew about the abdication of King Hengshan and came to seize the territory! Mei Kai aired.
"Taihou misunderstood, the Great Qin War has just ended, and the king doesn't know about the south." Ziying said lightly.
"Heh...," Wu Rui smiled bitterly, "You don't need to say much, if the King of Qin really wants the land of Hengshan, this king will also send it away." What throne, territory, now this king no longer cares. β
Wu Rui sighed, "The princess died in Linjiang, and now the bones... If there is no surviving, let's use the clothes made by Duchess Pei to make a mound of clothes. Since the three of them came to mourn together, they gave poems to comfort the princess's spirit, and whichever poet was the best, the king would give more territory. β
Ziying felt in his heart that Wu Rui had only come to him after hearing his "poems", did he really want to give most of the territory to Daqin?
Even if Wu Rui really had this intention, he couldn't accept it, and regardless of the current situation in Great Qin, it would be difficult to govern just two pieces of territory separated from other countries, and it would also cause dissatisfaction among the Yue people and cause incidents in his life.
But... It was not good for him to give Mei Kai and Lu Pheasant, so he had to win over them first.
Lu Pheasant and Mei Kai looked at each other, as if they were discussing something.
Then Mei Kai took a step forward, "This place is Chu land, and Ben Hou will give Chu a poem." β
Mei Li raised his hands to the sky and closed his eyes tightly, "The emperor told Wu Yang and said: 'There are people below, and I want to assist them. The soul is scattered, and you give it. Wu Yang said: "Palm dreams, God is difficult to follow." β... Wu Yang Yannai made a move:
'The soul returns! Go to Jun Zhiheng, what is the Quartet? The pleasure of the king, and the ominous away from the other. β
The Soul Returns! The East can't hold some up. There are thousands of elders, but the soul is asking for some...
The Soul Returns! The South can't stop there. The carving theme is black teeth, and the flesh is worshipped, and the bones are used as the sustenance...
The Soul Returns! The harm of the West is a thousand miles of quicksand. Whirling into the abyss, scattered and unstoppable...
The Soul Returns! The north cannot stop. Ice increases, snow flies thousands of miles...
The Soul Returns! Mourn Jiangnan! ββ
Chu finished speaking, Mei Wei burst into tears, and Wu Rui leaned on the throne to hide her face and wept bitterly.
"Daughter, the soul returns..."
Lu Pheasant chuckled at the corner of his mouth, and Mao Ping and Ziying were immediately stunned.
"This is Mei Kai's work? This TM is clearly Qu Yuan's "The Conjuring"! Wu Rui has a concubine of a female poet, but she has never heard Qu Yuan's words?! Ziying shouted in his heart.
Qu Yuanguo broke the king's death, so he could make this statement from the bottom of his heart. Ziying originally wanted to find the poems of later generations to have a chance of winning, and the queen Li Yu was a good choice, but it should have been the same graceful style, Qu Yuan's grief was sudden and heroic, not comparable to Li Yu.
Ziying also admired Mei Kai's memory, the full text was nearly 1,500 words, Mei Kai was able to chant word for word, and she was really prepared.
Mao Ping was hindered by the scene, so she didn't dare to remind Wu Rui, and she didn't feel the need to remind Wu Rui.
"Ahem, cough, cough..." Wu Rui couldn't cry, she was extremely sad, clutching her chest and coughing.
"The king of Hengshan should not lament, people cannot be resurrected after death, and they should think of the living." Lu Pheasant comforted.
Mao Ping kept patting Wu Rui's back, and kept persuading, and finally let Wu Rui sit firmly again after a long time.
"If the princess has a spirit in the sky, she doesn't want to see King Hengshan like this. Although there is a saying in "Yi": A gentleman is too respectful in his deeds, too mournful in mourning, and too frugal in his use. But this hexagram is called 'Xiao Guo', and the king of Hengshan cannot do so. Lu Pheasant said, stretching out his hand and pointing to the mulberry tree outside the hall, "I can't do it, I can only make a sentence or two to comfort the princess and comfort the king of Hengshan." β
"Between ten acres, the mulberry is idle, and the line and the son are still young.
Ten acres away, the mulberry is venting, and the line and the son are gone. β
Lu Pheasant finished groaning slowly and returned to his original position.
Wu Rui silently recited the verses in his mouth, and his face gradually calmed down.
There are mulberry in the poem, and the word "death" seems to be synonymous with "The Conjuring", but the real meaning is to talk about love, in order to imply that Wu Rui cherishes Mao Ping. also quoted the words in "Yi", secretly showing that he was erudite and knowledgeable, not because he couldn't write poems to compete, but because he didn't want to make Wu Rui too sad.
Mao Ping knew what she meant, and couldn't help but cast a grateful glance at Lu Pheasant. The guards in the palace all worked together to thank Lu Pheasant, and glared at Mei Kai angrily from time to time.
Mei Kai clenched her fists, thinking that she would be a blockbuster, but she was put on a swing by Lu Pheasant.
Ziying looked at Mei Kai, and Lu Pheasant kept shaking his head.
"Shameless! It's shameless! One copies "Chu Ci", and the other copies "Book of Songs"! Ziying scolded secretly.
However, this "Book of Songs" is still written by the common people, although it is not as gorgeous as "Chu Ci", but the style of writing is simple and affectionate. Wu Rui originally wanted not to be the monarch and be classified as a concubine, which could arouse Wu Rui's empathy.
Both of them came prepared, but Ziying felt that her preparations were too hasty.
"Why did the messenger shake his head, did he only come to mourn alone, and did not bring anything for the funeral, nor could he recite poetry?" Lu Pheasant asked, very close to provocation, "Do you think that King Hengshan was once a Qin minister, so you don't need to be too careful?" β
"Excessive!" Mei Li shouted angrily, "If that's the case, the Qin State doesn't deserve to touch the land of Hengshan at all!" β
Losing to Lu Pheasant first, Mei Li felt that he had gained less, and if he could prevent the Qin State from occupying the territory, he could get more.
Mao Qiao complained about the indiscriminate killing of the child, and he didn't want the child to die. Although there is no land to be obtained at the moment, it is okay in Mao Qiao's opinion.
"The Dutch envoy did not come for the territory, and it was not as ordinary as the two." Mao Qiao said lightly, "If there is anything else, just say it." β
Ziying was flustered, he never expected such a great change in the south, if Wu Rui divided the territory, his important matters could no longer be discussed!
But... One is emotional and simple, the other is simple and approachable, both are heirlooms, who in the future can match the two?!
Li bai? It's gorgeous. Du fu? I'm too worried... Neither of them is available.
After thinking about it, Lu Pheasant came to Ziying's side, "Don't struggle, even if you have the world's talents, you are not our opponent." If the queen gets the land of Wu Rui, he will start to attack the Qin state. Princess Hengshan will definitely be buried this time, and the child will only be buried on the slope of a stinky ditch by then. β
"Poe...?" A person suddenly flashed through Ziying's mind.
"That's right, if you fulfill your responsibilities, the child can have land to bury, otherwise you will have to be a violent corpse in the wilderness~" Lu Pheasant sneered.
Ziying had no mind to understand Lu Pheasant, and a literati with a long face who personally cultivated the fields appeared in front of him.
Su Dongpo!
"How did you forget him?!" Ziying secretly blamed herself.
Su Shi is not worthy of respect, the young man is proud, he once said that he ignored the people's suffering, and after offending the powerful, he was repeatedly degraded.
But Su Dongpo is glorious in the past and the present, after being demoted to Huangzhou, everything is gone, once at a high level, and through the trough, reborn into Dongpo.
Wu Rui should be able to comprehend this change.
What's more, when Su Dongpo was in a foreign country, his wife died, that kind of heartache, that kind of sentimentality under great enlightenment, no one can compare!
"Who said that he was disrespectful to the king of Hengshan? The Qin King faction has been well thought out here. Ziying stepped forward and replied.
"Oh? What kind of poems, chant quickly. Lu Pheasant sneered.
"Then I'll bother you, it's good to put your ears up, you can hear this sentence in your life, it's far more than three lives are lucky!!" The child is in color.
"So make a fool of yourself, don't flash your tongue when you talk big." Mei Hong smiled secretly.
"Ten years!" Ziying said in a loud voice, pausing deliberately,
"Ten years of life and death, without thinking, unforgettable.
Thousands of miles of lonely graves, nowhere to talk about desolation.
Even if you don't know each other, your face is dusty, and your temples are like frost.
At night, I suddenly returned to my hometown, and I was dressing up in the small window.
There are no words for each other, only a thousand tears.
It is expected that the intestines will be broken every year, and the bright moon night... Short Matsuoka. β
"Alasββ!"
In the main hall, I don't know which guard couldn't help but sigh with tears. Mao Qiao, who didn't know much about poetry, also sighed.
Sadness is enough, it seems to be through the bones, but it is not sad.
I miss it deeply, but I don't say it deeply, but it is like a mist and lingers...
Wu Rui didn't cry, looked up and quietly looked outside the hall, as if waiting for his daughter to return, even if he didn't return at this time, he could wait until he was old and dying, so that his daughter could see his temples like frost.
After looking at it for a long time, he closed his eyes, trying in vain to sleep peacefully at this time, and he could also dream of his daughter's old makeup.
If he doesn't dream anymore at this time, he won't be able to remember what it looks like in the future...
Mei Kai and Lu Pheasant bowed their heads in unison.
"Sure enough... Three lives are fortunate. Mei Li couldn't help but sigh.
Lu Pheasant glared at Mei Wei angrily, as if he wanted to complain, but he couldn't say anything.
Wu Rui let out a long sigh, reopened his eyes, and stretched out his hand to point at Ziying, "The work of the prince of Hehua should be the best work, where you want to conquer the territory, just tell this king, there will be a response." β
"In the next non..."
"King Hengshan can't!" Lu Pheasant interrupted Ziying and said hurriedly, "This person... This person actually used the words "lonely grave" and "short Matsuoka", which was clearly ridiculing the princess for dying in a foreign land and having no one to bury her! β
"Heh... Isn't it? Wu Rui smiled bitterly.
"He... He must have come with a conspiracy! Lu Pheasant held back for a long time, and thought of a saying, "There are very few people in Qin who are good at poetry, and there should be no such talented people." Even if there is such a person, it will not be unknown because of his ugly appearance. β
"What do you mean by Duchess Pei?" Wu Rui frowned and asked, also feeling that Ziying's appearance was a little abrupt.
"Ziying must know the trend of the south, so he sent this person here to seize the land! This work is the result of many days! Lu Pheasant said, "Any condolences to the princess are all lies." The Qin people still resented the king of Hengshan, but they couldn't send troops to attack, so they sent this person to calculate. If Ziying gets Qindi, he will definitely take revenge on the King of Hengshan! β
Wu Rui hesitated and closed his mouth to think deeply.
"Duchess Pei is right!" Mei Kai echoed, "Look at his appearance, he is a martial artist, I'm afraid I don't even know what the poem is!" β
"It's annoying! But the two of you will soon be of the same mind! Ziying scolded secretly, and when he was outside the palace, he saw the soldiers of the two, and he had set up an ambush, but at this moment he still needed to think about how to deal with the situation in front of him.
"Taihou and Duchess Pei misunderstood." Mao Ping, who had been speechless for a long time, suddenly spoke, "This 'messenger' doesn't know poetry, but the name 'Hehua' is extraordinary. β
"If it sounds good, it will prove it?" Mei Kai was puzzled.
Lu Pheasant was stunned for a moment, figured out something, turned around and looked at Ziying angrily, "Are you...?" β
"It seems that Duchess Pei already knows." Mao Ping said lightly, "There is a saying in the Northern Book of Songs: 'The mountain has Fusu, and Xi has... Howa'. In today's Qin State, there is probably only one person who dares to take the name of Dutch Hua. The concubine is expected to be good, right? King Qin... Baby! β
"Hahaha... Madame is sure to read ancient books. Ziying casually tore off the black cloth and exclaimed, "It's the widow!" β
"You are the child of the exterminating Bashu?!"
Mei Kai was furious, and subconsciously reached out to draw the sword, but found that the sword was no longer on her body.
"Ziying, you... You have to be reckless, this is the territory of the king of Hengshan! Lu Pheasant thought of the jade sharpening knife that Chu Ying had on his neck, and suddenly felt a chill.
Wu Rui's face was complicated, "King Qin... Is what you just said true? But regardless of the sins of the ministers, he mourned for the girl?! β
Wu Rui was anxious to know Ziying's reply.
"That's it. When you go to the place of Hengshan, you are the guests of the king of Hengshan, and you don't have to be commensurate with the monarch and the minister. Ziying said lightly, inexplicably unable to mention her resentment towards Wu Rui, "In addition, I want to occupy Hengshan and the land of Jiujiang, but I want the king of Hengshan to stay in this position for a long time." Can the king of Hengshan be used as a rule under the country? β
"Kechen... I don't have any intention of doing this. Wu Rui's face was painful.
"Alas, when the king of Hengshan returned to the palace, he should see the laughter of men and women on the street, all of whom were the king of Hengshan. This was also the wish of King Hengshan back then. Ziying said, "For this wish, the king of Hengshan can rebel against Qin and marry a daughter, there is nothing wrong with this heart, but what is wrong is Yingbu, which is the ambition of the unsubordinate!" Putting this people in his hands, King Hengshan is probably not at ease, right? β
"yes... This heart has not changed..."
Ziying doesn't care about the words of the past, but Wu Rui, whose heart is like ashes, is the final salvation.
Wu Rui covered his face with his hands and sighed, then stood up respectfully, knelt down on his knees, "Minister, the first emperor is personally sealed, Poyang orders Wu Rui, see the king!" β
The voice was loud and hit the baby's heart.
A majesty that belonged to the king suddenly rose from his heart, and this feeling was even more comfortable than Yingbu had said.
Before the child could feel it, Mei Hong's shouts broke the atmosphere.
"Wu Rui! If you don't divide the land, Benhou doesn't force it, and the land of Hengshan belongs to the Yue people! But the child will die today, if you dare to stop it, don't blame Benhou for ignoring the past! β
Lu Pheasant couldn't wait to scold Mei Kai to death, Mei Kai didn't want to divide the land, she should have been happy. But the situation has come to this point, and Mei Kai refuses again, but it cuts off her back road!
I am afraid that I will not return in vain.
It's thanks to the child!
"What Taihou said is reasonable! Kill Ziying to avenge the death of his brother! Lu Pheasant was furious, "The hundreds of people and horses brought by this queen have followed outside the palace, and they can kill the child!" β
"It's inappropriate, isn't it?!" Wu Rui got up and shouted.
"Hehe... It doesn't matter. Ziying knew that the two of them were confident, "It's better to make some things clear today, not only to destroy Bashu, but also to kill the soldiers of the Marquis of Taiwan..."
