Chapter Eighty-Four: Night Rain in Bashan

The gentleman asked that the return date is not due,

Bashan night rain rises autumn pool!

When to cut the candles of the west window,

But when it rains at night!

When is my return date,

Repeated inquiries but can't answer you,

Far away is a dream,

Tomorrow is a mystery,

I only know that there is no place in the distance,

Rain in Bashan!

Hold up your face by the candlelight,

A faint smile has become a thousand-year-old monument!

Sadness is a pot of wine,

Confusion is a game of chess,

I don't know if it's going to be tonight or not,

Cry for me!

The plank road that has been cultivated for many years continues in my heart,

For many years, I have thought of home as an eternal beauty!

The west window that can't be opened,

The autumn pond that is not satisfied!

Cut constantly all your tenderness,

When is my return!

Repeated inquiries but can't answer you,

Far away is a dream,

Tomorrow is a fan!

I only know that there is no place in the distance,

Rain in Bashan!

The plank road that has been cultivated for many years continues in my heart,

For many years, I have thought of home as an eternal beauty!

The west window that can't be opened,

The autumn pond that is not satisfied!

Cut constantly all your tenderness,

The plank road that has been cultivated for many years continues in my heart,

For many years, I thought of home as an eternal beauty!

The west window that can't be opened,

The autumn pond that rises dissatisfied,

The constant cutting is all your tenderness!

The aftermath is lingering and melodious, but it is particularly bleak and tactful after this rain. The lyrics of the pen "Fun" are www.biquge.info like words, and the rhythm of the tone and frustration makes people feel both novel and have a unique taste.

Thousands of pavilions, thousands of turns.

A woman in palace clothes with a slender figure and a rare high bun was gently holding the palace fence Xiangmu and leaning over to look at where the voice came from. A pair of charming phoenix eyes, looking at Lord Lou stupidly, a young man in scarlet clothes who sings with his throat.

This young man in scarlet clothes has not yet reached the crown, his red lips and pink face are full of spirit, and he is surrounded by a bunch of attendants and palace ladies complimentingly. In front of him, a hundred flowers are blooming, the palace music is full of sounds, Mrs. Blossom is smiling delicately, a pair of charming big eyes, is flickering looking at the young man in scarlet clothes, lying on a sandalwood arhat couch, graceful and lazy and tempting.

Obviously, this song was sung by this young man, and it was praised by everyone.

"Zhaorong Niangniang!" Gong E on the side seemed to see the doubts of this beauty, and wittily said on the side: "This is the young man who has recently walked in the palace and has won the favor of His Majesty and Concubine Hui. It's the Jiulang in the Wang's mansion, whose name is Wang Shen! ”

This beautiful beauty is Li Yanniang, the Zhaorong of Emperor Meng Chang of Shu, who is really a favored figure in the Shu Palace and Madame Hua Rui. It's just that Mrs. Hua Rui is usually good at composing lyrics and music, and they are all good works, so she has been praised by the ministers and the emperor, and Meng Chang and Mrs. Hua Rui usually spend more time together after all. However, Li Yanniang is dressed up in a beautiful bun, and she has always been the vane of the trend of women in Shuzhong, and she is also deeply favored by the emperor.

At this hour, Meng Chang, who rarely came to the court in person, did not return to the palace in the front court, presumably because he had accumulated a lot of things. Li Yanniang didn't see Meng Chang for a long time, and she missed the emperor's grace a little, so she took Gong Lady Li'er with her, and wanted to wait in this seemingly unintentional pavilion, in order to meet Meng Chang and his party.

Who knew that His Excellency Lou, who was here, met Wang Jiulang and Wang Shen standing among the flowers, singing loudly in front of Mrs. Hua Rui. Seeing that the palace music is complete, everyone is happy and happy, obviously coming prepared, deliberately enjoying here. I'm afraid that Mrs. Hua Rui also has this thought, afraid that others will rob the emperor's favor and mercy halfway.

"The Wang family is too bold! The palace is in the palace, and the palace is heavy, and he actually allows a young man to be so presumptuous? Li Yanniang was a little surprised and puzzled, looking at Mrs. Hua Rui's smile, but there was an indelible jealousy in her heart. Although she was favored by Meng Chang, she was born as a dancing girl after all, and it was difficult to get the identity of a flower. I couldn't help but say in my heart: "Could it be that her stamen has been favored by His Majesty to such an extent?" In addition to the emperor, other people are allowed to come in this palace? ”

"Mother's relief! Presumably, Your Majesty doesn't know about the movement here! Gong E's clever understanding, while excusing the emperor, undoubtedly belittled the stamen. She continued with sharp teeth: "It is said that this Wang Jiulang polo is very good, and he was rewarded by His Majesty a few days ago, and now the people in the palace are talking about it!" The fireworks that His Majesty got last time, it is said that he also had a chance to watch it in front of the Emperor! Look at it, I don't know what this is singing, but I see Concubine Hui's happy face, presumably this vulgar word is what she did! ”

This word is definitely not written by a woman! Slang is just a colloquial saying! "Although Li Yanniang is not good at lyrics, she is born with dancing skills, and she will inevitably be exposed to music and lyrics, but she still has some eyesight, otherwise ordinary people have empty appearances, how can they be favored by Meng Chang, a conceited talent!

She looked at Mrs. Hua Rui quietly, as if someone was rewarding Wang Jiulang, and that Jiulang actually stepped forward and sat on the low side of Hua Rui, and she didn't know what the two people were talking about, but Hua Rui sat up, smiling like a flower.

Li Yanniang couldn't help but say: "Your Majesty, if you usually spoil Lord Wang, you will naturally take care of the descendants of the Wang family. However, Lord Wang can get today's grace, and he is obviously not a person without measure. Seeing this Wang Jiulang, he looked proud, as if he was hiding from Lord Wang, he was only presumptuous in the palace for a while! She calmed down, looked at the situation below, and suddenly remembered something.

"Niangniang reminded Li'er, seeing that they are so happy, and they are here near the palace of the front court, presumably the Queen Mother doesn't know!" Li'er suddenly thought about joy, and when she looked at Li Yanniang, she was also happy to see Li Yanniang's face.

coincided, and the two thought of it together.

"Your Majesty!"

Meng Renzhen looked at Emperor Meng Chang with an embarrassed expression, thinking that because he had obtained some reliable news, he could talk to the emperor in the early dynasty. Who knew that the emperor never knew these things, Meng Renzhen looked at the few ministers who had nothing to do with him, and behind him was Li Fengxiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, who was prostrate on the ground, and he was usually proud of his henchmen. I knew that I was too conceited, and the report just now had undoubtedly caused damage to everyone's interests, and I might have to oppose this group of old ministers in Shu because of Li Fengxiao's words.

The atmosphere in the side hall was depressing, and several ministers bowed their heads as if they hadn't heard Meng Renzhen's words, and like Emperor Meng Chang's temper, they pretended to be deaf and dumb and stood in front of Meng Chang, all of them serious. Standing solemnly, looking at the nose and the nose and the heart, it seems that he has never understood these things.

Meng Chang's face was pale, he was not stupid, and he was extremely smart, he naturally knew that Shuzhong had always been very peaceful under his rule. However, the gap between the common people and the official family in the world has been irreconcilable since ancient times, and the people must have the consciousness of the people. He never thought that his courtiers didn't know all this, but they should know best. It's just that everyone will have their own interests, and in front of themselves, as long as this kind of interest does not damage the existence of Shu, they will turn a blind eye.

"Li Xiang, what King Ya just said, what do you think!" Meng Chang stared at the old Li Hao word by word, this veteran minister of Shishu for nearly fifty years, and now he is still his right-hand man. Most of the financial and political affairs in Shuzhong still rely on him, although Meng Chang favors Wang Zhaoyuan, but Wang Zhaoyuan has always been a half-master to Li Hao, he is conceited and militarily compared to Kong Ming, but this finance and politics are still far inferior to Li Hao.

Hearing Meng Chang's voice, it seemed like he was about to fall asleep, and Li Hao, who had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, couldn't wait to give Li Fengxiao, who was lying on the ground and brought in by King Meng Renzhen, a few kicks. He is in charge of the economy of Shuzhong, and naturally knows that the amount of taxes that come up in Shuzhong this year is much worse than last year, and in order to narrow this gap, Li Hao has strictly ordered several wealthy state capitals nearby to increase taxes. Because there are still many barbarian autonomous territories in Shu, basically they can't receive much.

In charge of the political affairs of Shuzhong, he naturally receives information from all over Shuzhong every day, basically there is no good thing, he naturally knows that all parts of Shuzhong are making trouble, but he also thinks that it has not reached the level that the officials in various places said.

But the reason why everyone reported it like that was nothing more than a fear of responsibility, and a desire to tell about their diligence and hardships. Li Hao, an old politician for decades, will naturally take these people's words as a response, although he will also report some to the palace, but he will filter it to Meng Chang. It's not that the good news is not reported, but the emperor's pleasure all day long, where will there be so much time to care about these things.

Li Fengxiao, a bastard, actually came to tell the emperor that Yuzhou had been lost and occupied by the rebellious Average Sect. Isn't that a joke! Not to mention that Yuzhou is located in an important position in Shuzhong, it is a big state capital, and it is impossible to say that there are so many soldiers, and it is impossible to say that it is gone, and it is occupied by unarmed troublemakers. This bastard actually dared to come to King Ya and said in front of the emperor that he didn't want to go back.

It stands to reason that Li Fengxiao still belongs to the descendants of Li Hao's family, but he is no longer a close relative of the same room. On the same day, Li Fengxiao entered the officialdom of Shuzhong, and he still walked the path of Li Hao's own family, and even many prostitutes and concubines in Li Hao's family were sent by Li Fengxiao. Li Hao still has an impression of Li Fengxiao, but Li Hao didn't know that he had made a state assassination, and he was still so naïve, Li Hao decided to completely dissociate himself from him.

Li Hao is not a ruthless person, on the contrary, he has always had a good reputation in Shuzhong officialdom. Even a favored person like Wang Zhaoyuan has to be respectful to himself, which shows that Li Hao is indeed very capable, that is, to take into account the feelings of the top and bottom. However, now Li Hao has decided to give up Li Fengxiao, which is now Li Fengxiao's confusion. Later, Li Fengxiao gained a foothold in the imperial court, and slowly became the pro-party of King Ya Meng Renzhen, Li Hao slowly forgot about this family, Li Hao felt that King Ya was a second ancestor who could not do things, and he was deeply sorry for Li Fengxiao.

"Your Majesty is aware of what Lord Li said about Yuzhou, and the old minister does not dare to agree!" Li Hao looked up at Meng Chang, there was no expression on his face, there was nothing unusual in his cloudy eyes, decades of officialdom and adultery invaded officialdom, and several people in Shu were Li Hao's opponents. "Lao Chen has been itching at home for a few days recently, although he is lazy, but the officials of the ministry have something, and they will still communicate with Lao Chen in a timely manner. But Lao Chen didn't receive any news about the inappropriateness of Yuzhou! ”

Li Hao had a hint of coldness in his eyes, and looked at Li Fengxiao underground intentionally or unintentionally: "Lord Li's family is all in the capital, and even if they are serving in Yuzhou, there are only a few concubines, so it must be indifferent to Lord Li." Last month, the old minister heard that Suizhou also made an average religion, and later the state and county officials in several places in Suizhou were timid and messy, causing the people to be frightened and humiliated by the court, and His Majesty has already dealt with a batch of old ministers! He looked at the emperor with a surprised face: "Lord Li is in the capital this time, but he doesn't want to return to his own jurisdiction, let alone the current situation in Yuzhou, but here he is talking nonsense and disturbing his vision, Your Majesty!" The old minister is deeply troubled! ”

"Oh!" Meng Chang looked surprised, listening to Li Hao's analysis, he thought that this was indeed the case. couldn't help but look at King Ya, his eyes were full of questions, and he looked at Li Fengxiao underground, but his face couldn't help but turn iron-blue.

The rest of the officials in the side hall, listening to Li Hao's imposing answer, although everyone knew it in their hearts, they really didn't know how to answer the emperor. But Li Hao's answer and handling already knew that this old prime minister wanted to hide the emperor. Everyone couldn't help but slowly raise their heads in turn, looking at Meng Chang and Yawang.

Li Fengxiao in the underground listened to Li Hao's words, almost desperate but didn't dare to tell, his body couldn't help but tremble, who is Li Hao! That is the real power of the person in Shuzhong except for the emperor, not to mention that what he said is indeed true, true and false is the most terrifying. The emperor has been in power for decades, except for the first ten years, it can be said that he has been personally involved, in fact, the time and affairs can be said to be handled by a few people led by Li Hao, where is there still a chance, he seems to see his own miserable future.

How to describe Li Hao! It's like Meng Chang is the emperor, out of reach. And Li Hao is the emperor of the soil in Shu, who exists by his side at any time!

Originally, Li Fengxiao was not in Yuzhou, and Yuzhou was suddenly lost, and he was responsible as the assassin of Yuzhou. In addition, he has a lot of work in Yuzhou, and that kind of income allows him to be like a fish in water in Chengdu, and his family can't spend it in a few lifetimes. Now that all of them have been requisitioned by the Average Sect, it is said that most of the garrison has been taken over, and Li Bong-hyo is a little unable to accept this fact.

The land of a state is not a trivial matter, Li Fengxiao naturally wanted to report, but he was suppressed by Zhongshu, this is not a person who has the final say, it shows that the people in Zhongshu have reached a consensus. Li Fengxiao was a little unwilling, so he asked King Ya to come forward, thinking that as long as King Ya said to the emperor, not only could he get away with his crimes, but also maybe the imperial court would send troops to Yuzhou, and he could recover those incomes when the time came. However, he knew that he was wrong, and he actually forgot the most important person, that is, Li Hao.

If Li Hao disagrees, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the emperor to know the true image of Yuzhou.

"Lord Wang! You are in charge of the Privy Council, can you have the Yuzhou military in recent months? Li Hao looked at Wang Zhaoyuan quietly, his eyes seemed to be open and closed, orderly and clear, although he seemed to ask Wang Zhaoyuan, but everyone knew that he wanted Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew about the Privy Council, to prove it.

Wang Zhaoyuan saluted Meng Chang, looking like he was for the country and the people. He said to Li Hao again: "Since the beginning of spring in Yuzhou, there have been three Privy Council affairs!" He naturally knew Li Hao's intentions better in his heart, usually he understood the emperor's mind better than Li Hao, it didn't matter if he was whitewashing the peace, the emperor didn't want to hear unhappy things.

Of course, Wang Zhaoyuan also knows what to do, and he also cares most about his prestige in the court. Not to mention what the truth of Yuzhou will be like now, no one has gone there, and no one has received a report from there. Now there is an uproar outside Jinguan City, and I don't see any problems, so it must just be a disturbance for the people. Although he didn't want Li Hao to assert himself in front of the court and the emperor, he also knew the direction of the current pattern, and he was obviously on the same line with Li Hao at present.

Sure enough, Li Hao's expression was normal, and he looked like he was listening. Wang Zhaoyuan couldn't help but say with a serious face: "On February 16, the original Yudu County had no imperial court to set up a garrison for a long time, and Zhao Lang, the defense envoy of Yuzhou, led 2,000 foot soldiers and a thousand sailors to enter the city. ”

Wang Zhaoyuan was conceited in his life and had Kong Ming's talents, this memory is still very good, and it is clear and well-founded, which is also very appreciated by Meng Chang. Meng Chang saw that Wang Zhaoyuan was respectful and respectful, and felt a lot more comfortable, but when he heard the content, he couldn't help but be surprised at first, and then angry.

"I lost so many soldiers, I didn't know about it! Also, the city of the capital is a forbidden land in the hands of the first emperor, and I have always followed the wishes of the first emperor and have never interfered in the appointment and dismissal of the city! This Zhao Lang is really bold, who asked him to send troops to the capital city, Li Fengxiao, you are the assassin of Yuzhou, you should know! Meng Chang looked angry, no one knew what he was thinking in his heart, and he didn't ask Wang Zhaoyuan, who knew about the Privy Council, but he was angry with Li Fengxiao.

"Your Majesty is aware of it, because it was rumored in the middle of last year that there were bandits gathering in various places to confuse the people, and the military department ordered military requisition in various places. General Zhao Lang received an edict from the Ministry of War that day, saying that there were people in Yuzhou who were causing rebellion among the people, and called on the Fuling garrison to send troops to suppress the chaos! Wang Zhaoyuan then said: "As for why General Zhao Lang chose Xudu, it must be a temporary military decision, and the ministers don't know!" However, on February 27, Zhao Lang led the army to eliminate three bandits in Yuzhou, and a large number of confusing people, and planned to exterminate 843 bandits! This is the second report from Yuzhou received by the Privy Council! “”

Wang Zhaoyuan saw that the emperor did not speak, and knew that the emperor understood the ins and outs, so he respectfully saluted and said: "Because it is an edict from the Ministry of War, the local government will send troops to suppress bandits on its own, and Your Majesty will issue an order on the same day. Wang Zhaoyuan took a deep breath, and then said: "At that time, the Ministry of War had already punished Zhao Lang for his mistakes, and later made meritorious contributions to the bandits, presumably the Ministry of War will make a correct ruling on Zhao Lang!" As for the third report, it was an urgent report from Yuzhou in early April, saying that Ma Bujun commanded Zhou Qi to be assassinated on the street, and it was later confirmed that it was done by habitual bandits on the rivers and lakes of Longtan Temple. After Wang Zhaoyuan finished speaking, he stood in shape and waited for Emperor Meng Chang to speak.

The atmosphere in the side hall was depressing, Meng Chang was pondering, Li Hao was silent, King Ya's face was ugly, and Wang Zhaoyuan looked calm.

"Your Majesty!" Zhao Zhong, the eunuch who was close to him, walked over, Meng Chang looked up at his eyes, and knew that something was wrong, so he nodded. Zhao Zhong came over and said in detail, Meng Chang's face slowly changed when he heard it, and he saw that several ministers here were suddenly in their hearts, and they didn't know what was going on.

Everyone didn't dare to speculate, but the feeling of waiting was even more torturous, the emperor finally had time to listen to everyone, and there were still many things that had not been reported, and it seemed that he was going to be in the soup again. Although looking forward to it, but looking at the emperor's expression, everyone was afraid that it would be their own business, especially Meng Chang looked at Wang Zhaoyuan, Wang Zhaoyuan felt inexplicably uneasy in his heart.

"Li Fengxiao, the assassin of Yuzhou, is cowardly and detrimental to the prestige of the imperial court, and it is really not suitable to serve in a state again, so he is removed from the post of assassin." Meng Chang stared fiercely at Li Fengxiao underground, looking at King Ya's expression was a little stern, King Ya's heart was abrupt, and he actually lowered his head.

"The officials re-selected the personnel of the assassin in Yuzhou, and they will go to Yuzhou on the same day after I consider it, how can the state capital be left without an owner for a day!" Looking at Li Hao and these old ministers, his eyes flashed with a subtle light and said: "As for Li Fengxiao's desire to return to Yuzhou, Li Fengxiao will serve as the gate gate of Yuzhou City from now on, and immediately take his family to Yuzhou to take up his post, and he will never be allowed to return to the capital without being summoned by the imperial court!" Meng Chang said hurriedly, glanced at everyone with an angry face, and walked away without waiting for everyone to speak.

Everyone looked at each other, obviously there was still a lot to say, and some people gloated a little when they saw that Lee Bong-hyo had shaken into a ball underground. King Ya had a gloomy face, and walked out first, but he didn't greet everyone, he lost face, and everyone didn't care.

Wang Zhaoyuan's face was relaxed, and he won the approval of Li Hao's eyes, and was about to walk with Li Hao, when the two of them had just arrived at the door of the side hall. A eunuch hurried over and called him into the palace. Li Hao looked at Wang Zhaoyuan's back, and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.
