Before and after the autumn harvest, many things also happened in Lin'an, the capital of the Wu Dynasty at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the disgrace of Jingping, the martial style of the Southern Dynasty began to flourish, and this year's martial champion style was vigorously unfolded in the capital, attracting a large number of chivalrous warriors to enter Beijing. The influx of swordsmen brought a little chaos to the capital, but the various actions of the knights also evolved into all kinds of fascinating deeds in the mouths of the storytellers. Not long ago, Lin Susu, a famous prostitute in the capital, fell in love with the heroes of the rivers and lakes, which caused two high-rollers to meet in the city to fight for a while, and it became a good story.

At the same time, the flourishing literary society of Lin'an was not willing to be left behind, and at this time, the academies that gathered in Lin'an had their own activities, and several large-scale patriotic literary meetings were held in Lin'an City, which caused a sensation for a while. Several famous poems were born, generous and proud, and widely sung by the women of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion.

The prevalence of civil and military culture washed away the decadent atmosphere of the Beiwu period for a while, and faintly, there was even a prosperous atmosphere, at least in the eyes of the literati, the generosity of the society at this time was far better than the singing and dancing more than ten years ago. With the beginning of the autumn harvest, a group of big bandits near the capital, including Wang Xigui, were also arrested under the encirclement and suppression of officers and soldiers, and then beheaded in the capital to show the public, which also greatly inspired the people.

A large number of shops, restaurants, and workshops are open, and the prosperity of commerce near Lin'an has caused the city to expand at an astonishing rate, and by this time, its prosperity has surpassed that of Bianliang, which has been in business for 200 years. In the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, the stories of talented and beautiful women are spread every day, and the anecdotes of the court officials will also become the talk of people in the capital after tea and dinner from time to time. In the vibrant atmosphere, there is one thing, which is also mixed in, and during this time, it has become an interesting story that many people talk about.

The concubine Qu Zonghui made a mistake.

At the end of June, the horse master fell in love with a northerner girl when he was playing with flowers, and when he was bullying him, he had some accidents and inadvertently killed the girl. The companions and followers around him tried to dispel the matter, but the other party's parents had a strong temperament, but they refused to give up, and in this way, the matter became a case of Zong's annihilation, and then Jing Zhaoyin found out and went to heaven.

In the land of the capital, the investigation and reporting of various cases have their own procedures. If it were just that simple, when the lower part was reported, the upper part would not be expanded. However, it is difficult to say what kind of mood the princess felt in her heart when the horse did such a thing, and when the report was made, the eldest princess was furious, and put the horse in prison. Qu Zonghui's family was also a prominent family in the southern country, and they hurriedly came to intercede, and after a while, the matter came out.

Since then, some surprising news has come out one after another, which has led the whole situation to a direction that many people have not expected.

It is hateful that the colt has committed such a heinous crime, but as the discussion deepens, many people gradually know the situation of this colt master. Today's eldest princess Her Royal Highness has a proud temperament, and has always looked down on this concubine, the two have been married for ten years, and the princess has not come out, and it is extremely difficult for the concubine to even meet the princess on weekdays. If these are just common things about the discord between husband and wife, since the day they got married, the princess has never had sex with the horse, and there are no rumors that the horse has been close, so it has really added fuel to the fire.

The man who was recruited as a concubine was despised by his wife from the day he got married, and he had not had sex with him for ten years, so that the concubine gradually gave up on himself, and when he was depressed step by step, the princess's mansion also did not care and let it go. It's hateful to do these things now, but in addition to this, is there a problem with the eldest princess's actions, gradually, such discussions fermented among people's mouths.

At this time, although it is not yet the time for ritual and murder, women are still particular about women's morality and morality after all. Qu Zonghui's case is gradually conclusive, there is nothing to say, but the arrogance of the eldest princess is undoubtedly a little unacceptable, the literati shook their heads, even the girl from the Qinglou Chu Pavilion, when she talked about this, she also felt that Her Royal Highness the princess had really done a little too much. Earlier, the eldest princess sent the horse to prison by thunder, but now naturally it is not possible to let people see that the duke is selfless, but more like getting rid of a burden and taking the opportunity to kill. As a wife, it is really undesirable to treat her husband like this.

In the midst of such discussions, the news of a bigger pattern gradually came, about the change of Tianhu's forces, because the deliberate control has not yet spread on a large scale, General Yue's second victory in Xiangyang, the good news came one after another, stirring up the atmosphere of Lin'an, and in a short period of time, it suppressed the gossip of the concubine......

**********

The sun is warm, the fallen leaves are golden, and when most of the people in Lin'an are attracted by the great victory in the north, what has already happened is impossible to skip here. In the palace, officials and celebrities come and go every day, involving all kinds of things, and about the horses and the Qu family, after all, they account for a large part of this time. On this day, in the imperial study, as a father's sigh, it also sounded back and forth several times.

“…… Fortunately, Yue Qing's family's Xiangyang victory offset the discussion of this matter, but you have been married for ten years, and this matter is not good for your reputation after all...... The Qu family has run back and forth many times, yesterday his grandfather came over, knelt on the ground and pleaded with me, this is all Jiang Ning's friendship, you have become a relative, I don't look down on him, so many years, I don't say anything. However, if you kill him, how can you explain and say this? What's going on in the eyes of others? Daughter, I can't get any good ......."

With his hands on his back, Emperor Zhou Yong sighed and seduced him. has been the emperor for eight years, and Emperor Jianshuo at this time has also been quite majestic, and he has faded away from the casualness and nonsense when he first ascended the throne, but in the face of the twenty-seven-year-old daughter in front of him, he still feels heartbroken.

On the opposite seat, Zhou Pei's eyes were calm, and he also showed a little tiredness, so he listened like that, and only when Zhou Yong paused, did he speak in a low voice.

"Father, kill him for the majesty of the king's law."

Her tone was not high, and Zhou Yong couldn't help but sigh in her heart. If you want to be honest, Zhou Yong's concern for his son is far greater than that of his daughter, and there are naturally complex reasons for this - at the beginning of the emperor, Zhou Pei was regarded as the successor by Kang Xian and Zhou Xuan, and resisted the burden of the Chengguo Princess's Mansion, Zhou Pei has an independent personality and has a skill, Zhou Yong occasionally thinks about the mess of the Chengguo Princess's Mansion, and then thinks about himself, and then understands that he had better not interfere.

When he was a prince, he was not a gentleman, he was a nonsense person, and he had no sense of responsibility, but the only advantage may be that he is still a little self-aware. The daughter is very assertive, too lazy to see her, but now that she thinks about it, she can't help but feel guilty in her heart. Listen, how low and unenergetic the voice, the marriage is unhappy, and it is really sad for women.

Regarding the majesty of Wang Fa or something, he felt a little hypocritical and waved his hand.

"Yes, yes, Jing Zhaoyin's case, let them judge. I'm just talking to you. The relationship with the Qu family, don't be so stiff, after all, when we come up, they have helped. I scolded them, and yesterday I slapped the table and scolded people, and I said to them: For Qu Zonghui, you come here, I understand, I am not an unreasonable person, but what is rumored outside is the matter of the southerners and northerners, and now, I want to smear the reputation of the eldest princess, these people, I am going to kill a group! it! What is it! ”

Zhou Yong imitated yesterday's demeanor, spoke sharply, scolded, and then calmed down: "You don't have to worry about these, there are people with ulterior motives, and I am in charge of you." ”

Zhou Pei looked at him: "Thank you, father, but it's just a matter of passing on the word in private, and you can't hide the mouths of the people, so you don't need to kill people." You shouldn't kill. ”

"Uh......" Zhou Yong thought for a while, "Yanguan likes to join in the fun, and the more they get together, the more lively they become, I have to make a batch." Otherwise, the rumors about the princess will really spread all over the city! ”

There was silence in the imperial study for a moment, Zhou Yong looked at Zhou Pei, and said: "As for the affairs of the southerners and northerners, daughter, my father should say a few more words, and don't make it too intense." Let's have our roots in the south after all, and now that we are emperors, if we are impartial, we will not offend all these people in the south. Now the wind is not right, Yue Qing's family is still in Xiangyang, Tian Hu's place, it is really a big thing, this black flag is going to go out of the mountain, I always feel uneasy. Daughter, even if you really want to fight north in the future, the rear must be stable, and it will not work if it is unstable. ”

When he said this, he thought that the daughter on the other side would refute it, but who knew that Zhou Pei nodded: "What my father said is that my daughter has also been thinking about this matter, and in the past few years, she has done a lot wrong." ”

Over the past few years, Zhou Pei's expression and temperament have become more and more graceful and calm, but Zhou Yong muttered about this matter, and he didn't know if his daughter was talking back, so he looked at it twice before nodding again and again: "Hey, what's wrong with my daughter, it's just that the situation is ...... It's a different story. In this way, Qu Zonghui will be in charge of me and let him go......"

Zhou Pei raised his head, Zhou Yong looked over, the father and daughter looked at each other for a moment, and Zhou Pei said: "Father, my daughter thinks this matter is inappropriate, let him go where the family is......"

"Daughter, it's not interesting to say that." Zhou Yong frowned, "In this way, Qu Zonghui has a bad record, after this incident, I will divorce him for you, how about you find a suitable marriage?" You find someone who agrees, and then tell your father, and your father will marry you again, and that's it......"

Zhou Yong chattered, Zhou Pei looked at him quietly, but he didn't know what to say, in the past few years, the conversation between father and daughter has always been separated by a layer of vague diaphragm. The main reason is that the thinking of the two is not on the same level at all. She opened her mouth: "Thank you for your kindness, but ...... No need ......"

"The father is in charge of you, and it is as it should be. I was also confused back then, and I cared too little about your children, thinking at that time, Jun Wu would inherit the throne in the future, and it would be nothing more than being an idle prince in Jiangning, and you would be the same, and you would marry and teach your children after marriage...... Who knew that he would ascend the throne as the emperor later, Qu Zonghui, you don't like him, I didn't know ...... at the time"

After eight years as the emperor, Zhou Yong thought about a lot more, and at this time, for his daughter's unhappy marriage, he couldn't help but wonder if he didn't care enough and let others click on the mandarin duck spectrum. The father and daughter then chatted for a while, and when Zhou Pei left, Zhou Yong's brain was aching. Daughter to daughter, a woman who has not yet had a man at the age of twenty-seven has a strange temperament, which is really strange and pitiful to think about......

Zhou Pei went out all the way, but he only felt cold in his heart. These days, her spirit is actually extremely tired. In the years after the imperial court moved south, the economy of the Wu Dynasty was centered on Lin'an, and it developed rapidly, and the wealthy gentry and wealthy families in the south had a piece of the pie, and a large number of northerners who fled were often reduced to domestic slaves and beggars.

This counterattack came suddenly, which no one expected. Zhou Pei has been in charge of a huge industry for several years, and her temperament has become calm after she is a little older, it is impossible to say that she has a virtuous and gentle reputation outside, but others will not say anything bad about the eldest princess before. Who knew that this time because of Qu Zonghui's origin, the rumors came so fiercely, a woman is tough and spicy, has no female morality, and has nothing to do at the age of twenty-seven, plus this time she has to kill her husband, in the mouth of others, it is a big crime such as soaking in a pig cage in the countryside.

Whether a crime is justified or not, but the stigma of personality is another matter. Qianfu pointed out, died without a problem, even though Zhou Pei is smart, she is still a woman in her twenties psychologically, and these days, under her pressure, it is difficult to speak. If there is still a little sense, I am afraid that I would have left the whole stall and hid in a place where no one is.

She wanted to hold on with resilience for a while, and she was also reflecting for a while, if the heavenly family wants to do things, she still needs support after all, if she is vaguely going to mess up again, whether she and Junwu have really done something wrong. In the past two years, she had woken up crying at night again—the last time was the night after hearing about Ning Yi's death, and after that, she thought she had no more tears.

After all, there is.

No matter how unforgettable the person is, the dead are gone, and the living have to go on.

All the way out, before he arrived at the palace gate, Zhou Pei saw Jun Wu coming from there with vigorous steps and dust--probably rushed back from Jiangning for this matter--Seeing his sister, the anger in the prince's eyes disappeared a little, and he came over to say hello with a smile.

“…… I heard about Qu Zonghui, so I went to my father to tell him...... The world is about to be in chaos, these rat-eyed guys are still fighting for personal gain, and now they are going to the extent of smearing the reputation of the imperial sister! I can't spare them! By the way, Sister Huang, you wait for me here first, I'll come out later, and then I'll tell you......"

After saying this, a group of people passed by in a mighty way, and Zhou Pei waited for a while in the nearby imperial garden, and then saw Jun Wu come back angrily. His negotiations with his father probably did not lead to any results, in fact, in all fairness, Zhou Yong was already extremely partial to this pair of children, but when he became the emperor, he always had to keep a little sense, and it was impossible to really do anything for the "northerners" to fight the "southerners".

However, although there was anger in his eyes, Jun Wu's spirit didn't seem to be discouraged, and he quarreled with Zhou Yong, probably just to express his position. At this time, they found their sister, and the two went all the way to the city wall before they could say some heart-to-heart words.

“…… The black flag has been silent for two years, and when it finally comes out, I think it's going to do something big. A knife to Tian Hu's severed head...... The Jin people don't know what the reaction is, but Sister Huang, do you know what Liu Yu's reaction is......

Jun Wu's words were excited, but Zhou Pei still seemed calm: "The spy said that Liu Yu is crazy again." ”

"That's right, Black Flag, hehe...... A few years ago, Liu Yu was driven crazy, and this time when he heard the news of the black flag, he was so frightened that he got up in the middle of the night, ran around the palace with a stick, and beat people when he saw them. That's right, there's also the one outside Xiangyang City, Sister Huang, you know. The people of the Black Flag killed Lu Tuo......"

As he spoke, the two climbed the walls of the palace on the other hand.

"They brought assault rifles, and assault rifles were better used." Zhou Pei looked at him, his eyes were slightly bitter, and said, "But...... The black flag is the black flag after all. Junwu, you shouldn't be so happy. ”

"Huh." Jun Wu smiled dryly, he looked at his sister, thinking about things in his heart, the two walked forward for a while, Jun Wu said some gossip casually, and finally stopped.

"Sister." He said, "Master is still alive. ”

“…… Yes? Zhou Pei took two steps before turning back from that side, she was dressed in a tooth-white dress, her face like the moon looked plain and graceful, she blocked a strand of hair from her ears with her fingers, but her clear eyes became slightly hollow in an instant.

Jun Wu then repeated.

Ning Liheng...... Ning Liheng is still alive......" he said, "...... General Yue saw him. ”

The autumn wind stroked the skirt and hair, and looking down from the high city wall, the world was full of traffic, figures came and went, and there was a distant sound in the wind. The autumn sun is warm, and the city is full of falling leaves...... (To be continued.) )
