Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 38 The King of Guangnan
Zizhu City, Quang Nam Province, here is the southernmost point of the border of the Han Dynasty, and then south is the vast sea, and to the north to the capital, the fastest horseback riding also takes six days and six nights.
Because of its remote location, the 36 caves of the Nanban here have been in rebellion all year round. Emperor Wu overthrew half of the world, and the soldiers approached Tianjing. The king of Guangnan was ordered to take command of the expedition, and led a large army to kill the 36 caves of Nanban, in order to prevent the resurgence of the ashes, but also personally in Zizhu City, a remote small city, to open a mansion to suppress southern Xinjiang.
Over the years, Zizhu City has developed rapidly under the rule of King Quang Nam, turning into a large city with a population of hundreds of thousands, and the outer city walls have expanded outward five times, and it is difficult to accommodate the influx of people.
The five-story city wall is also unique in the world. In order to facilitate the management of Zizhu Castle, which was divided into five parts by the city wall, these five urban districts were named. From the innermost inner city, to the main city, to the embracing city, to the expansion of the city, and then to the outermost outer city. From a high vantage point, this Purple Bamboo City looked like a huge magic circle.
Although it is divided into five parts, the security of Zizhu City is much better than that of Tianjing City. Over the years, whenever someone challenged the rules of Zizhu City or the majesty of the king of Quang Nam, and did illegal things in the city, at most, his head would be hung at the outermost city gate overnight to deter pedestrians. The Wind Thorn under the command of the King of Quang Nam is undoubtedly the manager in the shadow of this city.
Of course, there is also a saying that the six cities of Zizhu are located, because the Guangnan Royal Mansion in the inner city is too majestic. It covers an area of 1,000 acres, with 5,000 soldiers in the palace, and the high walls of the palace are not much better than the walls of the inner city. Coupled with the wind thorn masters hidden everywhere, this Guangnan Royal Mansion is tantamount to a fortress under the banner of the palace.
At this moment, night fell, and the various shops in Zizhu City lit up their lights and continued to attract customers. There was a wine flag hanging in front of the hotel, and the shopkeeper waved a sweat towel to enthusiastically attract guests. There are many people of different races who set up shops on the streets, selling small knick-knacks woven from purple bamboo. The pedestrians on the long street stretch endlessly, there are merchants, and there are also old customers who come to this Zizhu City to find beauty.
There is no river in Zizhu City, and there are no painting boats on the Tianjing River, but this does not affect the business of the fireworks field in the slightest. In this southern Xinjiang land, there are already many amorous and tactful women of different races, and there are many wealthy lords who are willing to spend a lot of money to kiss Fangze. Most of these fireworks are gathered in the inner city, firstly, this is a place to hide dirt and dirt, which is convenient to manage on the edge of the palace, and secondly, the most prosperous boundary of this Zizhu City is the inner city.
These Fengyue places surround the strict palace in the middle, and the warblers and swallows outside, the wind and moon are boundless, but the inside is a golden iron horse, quiet and solemn.
Suddenly, a horseman came from the city gate, dressed in bright silver chain mail, and had no blade at his waist. A number of girls on both sides of the road laughed and were ready to stop him. The person who came took out a golden token from his bosom, and wrote four big characters of Guangnan Wangfu, and the people who saw it retreated to give way, only some drunken girls threw colorful handkerchiefs from the windows of the street, and the handkerchiefs flew and fell into the smoke.
The man rushed all the way to the gate-like gate of the Quang Nam Palace, turned over and dismounted, showed the token to the sergeant guarding the door, and said, "News from Beijing, eight hundred miles urgent." ”
Although the Quang Nam Royal Mansion looks solemn on the outside, it is unique on the inside. Not to mention the various strange rocks and pines that were moved from the scenic spots, even the gold and jade used in the decoration of the houses everywhere are also dazzling.
There is a middle-aged man, who is hurriedly walking under the eaves of the Qianli Pavilion in the center of the palace at this moment, this person is of medium stature, dressed as a scribe, but on the extreme south of the Han Dynasty, he is still wearing a scarf. He had in his hand the eight-hundred-mile rush that had just been sent in, and he met several waves of soldiers along the way, and he had to search him everywhere he went, and he delayed a lot of time, but he did not see any unpleasantness.
He soon reached the deepest part of the Qianli Pavilion, where the king of Quang Nam rested, and the purple bamboo was higher than the house, shading the sun and moon. Seeing him coming, the guard outside the door saluted and said, "Mr. Song, wait a minute, I'll go tell the prince." ”
"There's Brother Lao." The scribe saluted and waited outside the door. Although this Qianli Pavilion is large, the lights are bright everywhere, and the reflective beads of sweat on the head of the scribe who is called Mr. Song can be seen clearly.
"Mr. Song," said the soldier who had just entered the door, and said to the scribe, "The prince will let you in." ”
The scribe saluted again and thanked him, and entered the Qianli Pavilion on his own. There were no men in the Thousand Miles Pavilion. Whether it is a guard or a subordinate, they are all women. Mr. Song walked in the middle of it somewhat strangely.
Walking through the long passage, a huge room appears in view, giving people the feeling of another village. The room was large and empty, and a hot spring took up most of the space, and the water was still bubbling and steaming from the spring. Mr. Song stood on the side of the hot spring, opposite the hot spring was a huge screen, on the screen were nine flying dragons, one by one entwined with thunder and lightning, his eyes were terrifyingly bright, and he didn't know what material it was.
The screen is translucent, and a somewhat obese man can be seen behind the screen, with several phantoms surrounding him, slicing his arms across his body, and lust rises in the hazy mist.
"Qingshu, what's the matter?" The voice behind the screen sounded, it was a man's voice, but it was a little old, weak.
This scribe is Song Qingshu, the same as the old fox in the middle, the northern red horse and the southern green snake Song Qingshu, who is known as the world's three great wise generals.
"Lord Wang." Song Qingshu saluted through the screen and the hot spring, his voice was steady, and he was not affected by the obscene scene in front of him in the slightest: "The news from Jingzhong is back, I have read it roughly, and there are some questions that still need you to decide." ”
"What do I need to decide?"
"His Royal Highness the Prince of the World has made a move in the capital."
"Xian'er?" The prince's voice didn't have many doubts, but was a little more surprised: "He can actually endure it until now." I knew he was secretly hooking up with someone. My heart has grown. What did he do? ”
"The prince single-handedly contributed to the establishment of the emperor?"
"Immediately?" There was a hint of suspicion in the prince's voice: "The little emperor has reached the age of the queen?" There was no respect for the emperor in his voice, but it was like saying another inanimate thing.
"Xu De should not have reacted, he was ambushed by the hand of the prince, I was worried that Xu De would retaliate, so I ......"
"So you want me to punish him to show the attitude of the palace?" The prince interrupted Song Qingshu and took the second half of the sentence himself.
"Xu De will not attack the prince, what he needs is to make our Guangnan Royal Mansion show a stand." Song Qing wrote.
King Guangnan on the side of the screen sat up, all the women around him got out of bed, knelt beside the bed, and King Guangnan said: "I will not enter Beijing in my life, even if Xu De doesn't understand, the old fox should understand." ”
"It's the others who are afraid, Lord Wang." Song Qingshu continued: "Can you know Xu De's personality, can you know every one of Xu De's subordinates? Not to mention too much, it was Guo Yi who was sent to the north a few days ago, but it was a shadow, and we don't know how many shadows there are in Beijing. ”
In fact, Guo Yi is not Xu De's shadow, but he was really forgotten.
"What is this king going to do?"
"Send someone into Beijing and ground the prince."
"That's it?"
"That's enough."
"Knowing a son is better than a father, this is not good." There was a hint of exhaustion in the old eyes of the king of Guangnan: "Only by putting the knife on his neck will he change." Doesn't he want to be loyal, I'll try him and make him truly loyal. ”
"You mean to abolish the world?" Of course, Song Qingshu knew who he was in the mouth of the king of Guangnan.
"Yes, I have a lot of sons anyway." As he spoke, the king of Quang Nam got off the bed, and the woman, who was kneeling beside the bed, almost naked, came forward to undress him.
The naked King of Guangnan walked out from behind the screen with the support of the woman, and Song Qingshu lowered his head and did not look at the King of Guangnan. The King of Quang Nam slowly sat down on the edge of the hot spring.
"Who's the Queen?" King Quang Nam asked in the hot spring.
"Wan Kefa's daughter, Wan Rongrong."
"I've never heard of it, what is the posture."
"It wasn't said in the message, but it shouldn't be bad." Song Qingshu heard the sound of water and buried his head lower.
"This woman was chosen by Xian'er?"
"It's Xu De."
"It's kind of interesting." King Guangnan sighed softly, the soothing of the hot springs and the woman's body were the things he couldn't do without: "Just do as I say." Didn't a few of the Wind Thorns follow Xian'er to the capital, and how did they get along with the Nine Girls? ”
"The ninth girl followed Xu De's son to the front line in the west."
When the king of Guangnan heard this, he opened his eyes and asked in a puzzled tone for the first time, "Have you gone to Tibet?" Chen Xuanji inexplicably entered the Qin Palace, he already felt weird, and now he actually followed Xu De's lone seedling into Tubo. The battlefield is changing in an instant, if there is a three long and two short dead on the front line, then no one can be blamed: "Interesting, in order to escape to the west, it must be Feng Laohu's idea, this old thing, hahahaha." King Guangnan laughed twice, but this laugh coughed violently, and Song Qingshu looked up and saw a faint dissipation of red on the hot spring.
"Lord Wang!" He got up, his eyes full of surprise, was the king of Quang Nam's illness so serious? It's only August.
"Out of the way. Don't make a noise. King Guangnan glanced at Song Qingshu.
Song Qingshu knelt down again, lowered his head, and said, "There are still some personnel changes in the capital that Xu De has instructed to do, does the prince want to listen?" ”
"I don't listen to it, if there is any abnormality, you can watch and deal with it, but it is just a child's play." After the king of Guangnan finished speaking, he said: "You can explain the affairs of the prince and send a proper person to Beijing." Let's go down. ”
"Yes, lord." Song Qingshu saluted again, turned around and went out, but after a while, his clothes were wet with the mist of the hot spring, Song Qingshu raised his sleeve and sniffed it, and a faint smell of medicine appeared on the tip of his nose.
He shook his head and walked out of the Thousand Miles Pavilion.
