Chapter Seventy-Five: Lou Chuan Poetry Club
The singers and dancers on the ship were all temporarily bought by Zuo Sanxiang, and Liu Jingchuan also persuaded Zuo Sanxiang to prevent spies from getting in.
Zuo Sanxiang told Liu Jingchuan that his purpose was to give outsiders a chance to let them in.
Liu Jingchuan circled around Zuo Sanxiang a few times, "Old Zuo, how do I feel that I have come back from the Western Regions, and I don't know you!" This is completely unreasonable! Forget it, I know you must have your reasons! But it's better to be careful, if a few assassins sneak in, you'll be in trouble! ”
"It would be great if the Assassins came, and I was worried that I couldn't find a reason to kill! It is impossible for the Xiao family to be so stupid, if they dare to assassinate the King of Jin, the emperor will not need to find a reason to directly eradicate them! They're not so bold! Most likely, send someone to find out the news, or well, make a beauty plan! ”
"I have a wife, and my children are more than ten years old, I don't know what beauty tricks I have, but you are still alone, I'm afraid you're hungry and thirsty! I think you have to be a Chinese and American plan this time! ”
The two joked with each other, but they both knew it, and it was clear that these singers and dancers were all planted by others, how could they fall for the scheme?
However, the procedures for selecting singers and dancers are still relatively strict, and they all have to be searched and checked by Zhao You, the personal eunuch of the King of Jin, and the pulse has to be checked by the medical officer, and finally Pei Wenhua, the commander of the palace guards, to test whether they have martial arts.
However, the third minister on the left was ingenious, and greeted Pei Wenhua and asked him to let in the three who knew martial arts, Pei Wenhua refused to live or die, "In case of a miss, someone assassinates the king and kills the driver, and I, the commander, will be beheaded all over the house!" Absolutely not."
"The three who came in specially served me, and they didn't go to King Jin!"
"No, absolutely not, in the middle of the night, it is even more impossible to prevent it, and the safety of this King of Jin cannot go wrong in the slightest!"
"Wouldn't it be okay to send all three of them to my ship? Don't worry, someone else still has this confidence! ”
"Absolutely not! This is non-negotiable! ”
This time, the left three prime ministers did not beat Pei Wenhua after all.
All the singers and dancers were arranged on the ship of the King of Jin, a total of twenty people, six singers, and fourteen dancers.
The leader's name is Xiaofeng, in his early twenties, with a slender figure, and the guards who watched with a pair of eyes all bowed their heads.
Xiao Feng's appearance may be the worst among this group of people, but he is quite good at getting things done, and in half a day, he wrote down all the names and appearances of the guards and servants on the Jin throne ship and the accompanying officials.
Liu Jingchuan said to Zuo Sanxiang in private, "This Xiaofeng, I think it is likely to be the person who was inserted by the Xiao family, let's be tight!" ”
For the children who came to pick up leftovers every day, Pei Wenhua also suspected that the people on the ship were transmitting information in this way at first, so he searched them all, and searched the dark cabin in the boat of this group of naked children for a few days, but found nothing.
Zuo Sanxiang smiled when he saw this scene, "No matter how stupid others are, they won't use this way to deliver news, throwing a wooden board or silk cloth into the river is better than this!" ”
"I have to be responsible for King Jin, no matter how small it is, I can't let it go! Since Master Zuo said so, I sent someone to row a boat downstream to see if there was such a plank or silk cloth! ”
Pei Wenhua was real, and he did what he said, but Zuo Sanxiang stayed on a dancer named Wan'er, who had the best appearance.
This Wan'er's dresses are all pomegranate-colored, which is obviously better than other people's, and I am afraid that it will cost nearly 10,000 yuan to make money.
King Jin and Liu Jingchuan plus a few selected officials just enjoyed the singing and dancing, and kept a distance of at least six feet from the singer and the dancer.
The left three phases are different, or call Wan'er to sit with them, or even put their heads on Wan'er's lap to read and drink.
Pei Wenhua's eyes kept rolling, not because he was greedy for beauty, but because he was not at ease with every singer and dancer who came on the boat, seeing that everyone was the one with bad intentions.
In the first few days, these women were not allowed to drink, not even to pour wine for the king of Jin and the people, but they could only finish the song and dance, and when the feast was over, the king of Jin and the others dispersed, and the women could eat.
After observing for a few days and ruling out the possibility of poisoning, the twenty women were allowed to participate in the feast together.
When Gu Xining arrived, it was the scene after a big feast, all the women were drunk on the ground by Zuo Sanxiang, sleeping on the ground, Zuo Sanxiang also took pity on the jade, and ordered someone to bring a blanket and cover them.
The two maids who came with the King of Jin fed these women honey water in the middle of the night, and took off their dresses stained with wine.
Mimi reads
A group of people got along for half a month, and when they went from Banzhu to Bianzhou, they finally got acquainted, and even Liu Jingchuan, who had always lowered his head and held his hands, laughed with the women.
On the surface, they don't want to be assassinated, and they don't leave the building to deliver information, so they are ordinary kabuki.
Xiaofeng actually joked with King Jin, but King Jin didn't respond, and he was the only one sitting upright.
After all, he is a prince, and if he laughs with Kabuki, he still loses his identity.
However, Zuo Sanxiang woke up the King of Jin with a word, "The King of Jin has recruited Kabuki to the boat, are you afraid that the world will not know?" This time, the name of King Jin can really spread all over the world! Haha, why don't you let go and enjoy yourself on this boat! ”
"When you sing about wine, life is geometric! If you don't take this opportunity to enjoy it, you will be busy with government affairs in the future, how can you have this good opportunity! ”
"The gold bottle has no wine and is empty to the moon, and there are flowers that do not lose the years." The singer Bai Xue, who played the pipa, came out coldly and unexpectedly, which shocked everyone present.
I have heard that the singers in the capital are no less talented than the three princes and nine kings in the court, but today they have really seen the dignitaries including the three prime ministers of Zuo.
"Snow White, did you write this verse? It's just the right situation, it's wonderful! ”
Bai Xue put down the pipa and said calmly, "Back to the Hou Ye Zuo, the little girl has learned some poems from the old master since she was a child, so she thought of this sentence at the right time, and she is ugly in front of you adults who are only eight buckets old!" ”
"The girl is modest, His Royal Highness King Jin, what do you think of this verse?"
Zuo Sanxiang deliberately asked King Jin, in fact, he wanted King Jin to come a few words, so that these people could see and understand.
King Jin smiled slightly: "Snow Girl's sentence is really wonderful." Now that Marquis Zuo has come to test the king, the king can't sweep away everyone's interest! Well, since the Marquis Zuo was crowned marquis, this king has not given a gift. It's better to give a poem to Hou Ye Zuo today, by the way, everyone here will give a poem to Hou Ye Zuo, and it will not be in vain to give today's good interest! ”
Everyone applauded together, waiting for the King of Jin to write a poem first.
King Jin got up and took a step out, "20,000 miles out of Yangguan in the west"
Listening to this first sentence, everyone is not easy to make a sound, and this sentence is very bland.
King Jin took two more steps "Five Thousand Tigers Spread the Flag"
The third phase on the left was the first to clap his hands "Okay!" The rest of the people also slapped their palms twice.
King Jin continued to walk out four steps, pointed to the left Sanxiang who was leaning on Wan'er's body and recited aloud, "The general will make up for the sky in a hundred battles, and return drunk and lying on the knees of the beauty!" ”
As soon as these two sentences came out, Zuo Sanxiang laughed and almost fell, Wan'er lowered her head and was embarrassed, Liu Jingchuan laughed out of breath, and the rest of the people applauded.
King Jin himself couldn't help laughing, "Ha, cough, cough, cough, since ancient times, there have been famous generals like Hou Ye Zuo?" If Hou Ye Zuo's appearance today spreads to the Wet Poison Country, I am afraid that those subordinates of Hou Ye Zuo will be defeated and die of anger! ”
"Zuo is not talented, this drinking and having fun and talking to a girl about life is Zuo's business, as for what war and governing the country, it is all a hobby! Nothing! His Royal Highness the King of Jin thinks so highly of Zuo, even if Zuo is a limerick, he has to give His Royal Highness the King of Jin a poem back! ”
Zuo Sanxiang said and stood up with Wan'er's body, "Tianhuang is noble since he was young, and he is more free on the Phoenix Stage, sailing on the waves and swallowing the sun and the moon, clarifying that Yuyu has high ambitions"
"Mr. Zuo has an overreputation, this swallowing the sun and the moon, clarifying Yuyu, I really dare not be!"
King Jin was a little frightened, and the rest of the people applauded, this poem is indeed to praise King Jin, King Jin can humble himself and dare not accept it, but others can't help but applaud.
"Lao Liu, my limerick is finished, it's your turn!"
Liu Jingchuan helped the staggering Zuo Sanxiang, "Old Zuo, you are like this, your reputation is not good, I'm afraid that the name of this hussar general belongs to you!" ”
"Haha, that's good, I'm not a righteous gentleman, why should I be bound! Who doesn't love this beauty? Lao Liu is not afraid of his wife and dare not try, don't worry, no one will tell your wife! No, I'm a great general of a hussar, and you can't escape from it! Haha, get ready to go home and kneel on the washboard! ”
Everyone burst into laughter, Liu Jingchuan's face was red and white, and he shook his head again and again, "I was careless in making friends!" Careless dating! Okay, well, now that it's me, I'm going to be ugly! ”
Liu Jingchuan wanted to compose a poem, and the king of Jin coughed twice to signal everyone to be quiet.
Liu Jingchuan turned around in place, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, opened his eyes and put his hands together: "The beam is magnificent, the king is loyal, and the virtuous king is supporting, and the people of Guotai are happy!" ”
"Wonderful! Lord Liu's loyalty can be learned! Great! Come, let's make a toast to the Emperor Shengming! Played! "Return of Victory"
The tone of King Jin's words was full, and the singers also played the pipa, zheng, pipe, and flute.
After drinking, he was accompanied by Sima Changfeng, a literary scholar drawn from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and passed on to the King of Jin and Liu Jing, the third prime minister of the left
Salute in turn, take three steps back, "In the lower Sima Changfeng, for His Royal Highness the King of Jin, Lord Zuo, and Lord Liu, they each prepared a clumsy song, please smile!" ”
King Jin waved his hand: "How can this politeness of literature be so similar to Lord Liu!" Come on, come on, today is just drinking and writing poetry and having fun! ”
Sima Changfeng bowed to the King of Jin again, and then got up and recited, "The horse is fortunate to meet the real Bole, the stupid bird crosses the river with the phoenix, and the heart chases the hero, and today I listen to the victory song!" In Xia Bucai, as a literary scholar of the Prime Minister's House, he has been unknown for more than ten years, and today he is fortunate to follow a virtuous king like King Jin, and he fell in love at first sight, and Changfeng has worshiped under the door of King Jin since today! ”
Sima Changfeng's kneeling made the other six people drawn from the General's Mansion and Shangshu Mansion look at each other, most of these people are under the prince's door, and they can't get on the boat and switch to King Jin.
King Jin beckoned, "Literature doesn't have to be like this, please hurry up!" This king said, today is just a poetry meeting, don't make these false gifts! Just have fun! You said that you have prepared three poems, I think this one is enough, you should go back to your seat first! ”
When Sima Changfeng heard that King Jin didn't let him continue to speak, he said that this fart slapped on the horse's feet, and he got up uneasily and returned to his seat and didn't dare to raise his head.
The rest of the people wrote poems in turn, all of them sang praises of virtue, and the king of Jin was sleepy, and the snoring of the left three phases had already come out.
"The little girl is not talented, I would like to give a poem to King Jin and all the adults!"
Wan'er's request made King Jin wipe his eyes: "Miss Wan'er also wants to compose poems?" Okay, wake up Hou Ye Zuo and let her listen carefully! ”
"I've been awake, but I haven't opened my eyes! Miss Wan'er's masterpiece, I want to listen to it well! ”
Wan'er removed Zuo Sanxiang's head from her lap, stood up and bowed, and then said, "All the dignitaries are good people, good wine and good food are shared by the people, and the people along the river celebrate more, and they often come to the prince to show kindness!" ”
Sima Changfeng's face turned white, and the other six people didn't dare to come out, this Wan'er was obviously sarcastic about King Jin and them.
Liu Jingchuan looked at King Jin, and Zuo Sanxiang continued to smile and groped around with his hands.
"Miss Wan'er, it's really a woman who doesn't let her eyebrows, okay, you dare to tell the truth! Yes, this king understands the meaning, we have a high wine meeting here day and night, but the people on both sides of the strait are poorly clothed, well, great! This king wants to reward you well! ”
Zuo Sanxiang also got up and hugged Wan'er, "Yes, it seems that my vision of seeing people is really good!" Good, great! Terrible! ”
Wan'er looked at King Jin with wide eyes, "His Royal Highness King Jin is not angry?" I can't stand it anymore! Every one of you is a big man, so why can't you do things for the people? In the past month, I have seen the skinny skin and bones of this child who came to pick up leftovers, and he is still naked, can't King Jin see it? Are you all turning a blind eye? ”
Before King Jin could answer, Zuo Sanxiang said with a smile, "We came this time to ask for the common people to eat, Miss Wan'er shouldn't think that we and King Jin would go to the relief of one child and one child!" That's not what we do, that's the work of the county commanders and his subordinates in Daliang! ”
Wan'er broke away from Zuo Sanxiang, "They all say that your Zuo Marquis is a big hero and a loyal minister, but I think you are a pervert, so many children, even if you take in one or two, I think you still live up to your hero's name!" But you drink and pester me all day long, I don't see where you are a hero! ”
"Hahaha, I didn't say I was a hero, haha, you're right, I'm a pervert. This is taking in children! If I collect too much, people will say that I have bad intentions for private house slaves, and if I collect less, those who are not taken in will die if they don't get it right! You haven't really lived their life, you won't understand! Those who have not been taken in will harm themselves or even commit suicide in order to make you pity them, if you don't believe it, you can try, but it's better not to try, it will kill someone. If you want to save them, you have to take care of the parent officer on their head, and only the parent officer can save them! ”
Zuo Sanxiang was not drunk at this time, and sat upright on the chair, changing his previous appearance of giggling and not being in shape, except for King Jin, the rest of the people did not dare to look into his eyes.
Liu Jingchuan saw that the atmosphere was not right, so he came over to persuade Wan'er, "Miss Wan'er understands the righteousness, and Liu deeply admires it, but Miss Wan'er is not in it, some things can't be understood for a while, and you will know in a while!" ”
Wan'er also realized that Zuo Sanxiang might be really angry, so she returned to the place where she sat and stopped talking.
"Okay, okay, this poetry club has benefited a lot from this king today! Ladies and gentlemen, from tonight onwards, no more drinking, no need to sing and dance, we will be in Bianzhou soon, we should get down to business! ”
