Volume 1 The Wind Rises in Tianjing Chapter 5 There is a general Guo Yi, who can interpret strange dreams
Xu De is now powerful, holding a strong army, and has the potential to win the championship. However, Xu De was born in a dart game in Jiannan Province.
Although his ancestors have been darts for generations, Xu De is willing to study knowledge. After ten years of cold windows, he finally entered high school and became an official in the court.
When he was young, he was too sharp, offended the old people in the court, and almost died in prison. At that time, the public security of Wei State, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War, was like a sea of talents, so he saved his life and was demoted to the Western Front, which was losing and retreating at that time - at that time, the officials who were demoted to the Western Front were no different from being sent to death.
During the period before he left Beijing, he temporarily lived in the mansion of Wei Guogong, how did he know that in this short month, he was fascinated by the daughter of Wei Guogong, but thinking that he was about to be confused, his career was slim, and the daughter was less than ten years old and had been engaged to the son of Zhao Guogong, so he didn't dare to speak, but just kept this thought in his heart.
When Xu De arrived at the front line, he just did some things to escort grain and grass, but in such a small matter, he actually met a large army of Tubo who wanted to take advantage of the night to sneak attack from the flank, Xu De warned in advance, made a great contribution, promoted to a general of Wu Strategy, and had 3,000 soldiers and horses under his command, and began to go to the battlefield.
Although Xu De is a scholar, but after all, he was born in a family of darts and guns, and he is talented in marching and fighting.
Just when Xu De was named General Anxi and had a great reputation in Beijing, Wei Guogong was defeated by the Tartars in the battle on the northern front, lost six cities in a row, and the border retreated two hundred miles to the south, which made Emperor Wu angry, not only was he beheaded, but Emperor Wu even wanted to punish his three clans after the autumn.
At this time, an eight-hundred-mile letter from Xi'an rushed to Tianjing, which turned out to be Xu De, who had just been awarded the title of General Anxi, who was willing to use his military exploits to protect the three clans of Wei Guogong, and proposed to Emperor Wu to marry the daughter of Wei Guogong, the bride An Qiu, who had been repented of her marriage by the Zhao State Mansion.
It is said that Emperor Wu laughed angrily when he saw this letter, and asked the first emperor of the crown prince: Is this person loyal? Stupid? I don't know how many of them are surging, the public security of Wei is like a sea of death, the title is taken away, and the four sons are assigned to the army, but the three clans are saved, and An Qiu, the daughter of the Duke of Wei, even married into the Anxi General's Mansion.
Feng Tianshou, who has been by Xu De's side for 20 years, still remembers how nervous Xu De was on the battlefield on the battlefield, holding the head of a Tibetan nobleman in one hand and beheading the retreating general with a knife in the other.
When he learned that the princess's convoy would arrive soon, Xu De waited outside the city gate early the next morning, let the wind blow, and his beard was turbulent, and he turned around several times to ask Feng Tianshou if he was thoughtful.
Xu De felt sorry for his little lady, since the princess came, everything in Xu De's mansion was decided by the princess.
When Xu De was young, there was too much blood on the battlefield, and now that he is older, he is somewhat afraid of cold, so the princess installed a ground dragon inside and outside the entire palace, and burned the silver charcoal without smoke and dust used by the emperor, so that Xu De could warm up wherever he went.
In the autumn of the tenth year of Defeng, Xu De coughed up blood, and after seeing it, the imperial doctor prescribed medicine and instructed the princess that Xu De should not drink alcohol anymore. After that, the word wine became a taboo in the Qin Palace. In addition, the princess treats her kindly, and the subordinates in the palace are treated kindly, and they all believe in the princess. Today's pot of wine, I don't know how much effort Xu De spent to get it out, and it was broken by Jingzhi today, Feng Tianshou knew that Xu De must be having a hard time.
Xu De's Qin Palace, which looks like a big character from the outside, is exquisite when you look at it from the inside. On both sides of the aisle, around the house, are planted with strange flowers and plants from all over the world, one is that the princess likes it, and second, these lush flowers and plants are easy to hide. Throughout the year, flowers and plants bloom at different times, and they are full of life at any time. Xu De came out of Hanshan Zhai and walked towards Biyuan, where he usually rested, and the subordinates he met along the way lowered their heads and saluted him, Xu De nodded with a straight face.
The sound of the piano became clearer and clearer, and following the sound of the piano, Xu De walked outside Chiba Xuan. This Chiba Xuan was specially repaired by him to play the piano for the princess, and through the window, he saw that the lights in the room were bright, and there was no sound except for the sound of the piano.
He crept forward, pressed his ear to the door, and listened carefully to what was going on inside. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a girl in a light green dress walked out, she just pushed the door a little big, and the door panel even smashed into Xu De's forehead, and it sounded softly.
"Daddy." The girl couldn't laugh or cry, I don't know why her father still listened to the corner today.
"Ruri." Xu De covered his forehead, straightened up, pretended to be majestic, and said, "You still come to your mother so late?" ”
"Sister Jingzhi said that her mother was angry with whom, and she brought porridge at night, but she didn't drink it, I'll see who is so ignorant." After saying that, she glanced into the room, and the people behind the screen clearly heard it, and the sound of the piano fluctuated.
"Nonsense, daddy, you dare to mock." Xu De said this, but there was no hint of reproach on his face, and he only said: "It's so late to go back and rest, I'll go see your mother." ”
"Daddy, why did he come empty-handed."
"I'm going to bring you some gifts?"
"Let's get some wattles." After saying that, Ruri smiled and jumped away.
Xu De came back to his senses, the girl was gone, and he had to bite the bullet and enter Chiba Xuan.
"Madame is angry with whom, this meal has to be eaten, and it can't be done if you are hungry." Xu De walked behind the screen, and before the person arrived, he spoke first.
The sound of the harp stopped, and the woman behind the screen looked up. This woman can't say that she is alluring to the country and the city, but she is extremely white, her facial features are delicate, her eyes are like water waves in autumn, full of charm, and her gestures are tinged with a faint bookish atmosphere. She looked at Xu De's slightly reddened forehead, and said flatly: "Who do I dare to be angry with, you are the prince, and I am guilty." ”
"Madam, what are these words", Xu De sat down beside the princess by himself, "Who dares to say that you are guilty, this king will punish him all over the house." He casually caught a glimpse of Jing Zhi on the side, still holding a bowl of steaming red date porridge in his hand, and motioned for Jing Zhi to give it to him. Jing Zhi handed him the porridge, then exited Chiba Xuan, and closed the door with him.
"This Jingzhi is becoming more and more sensible." Thinking like this in his heart, he took a spoon and gently scooped it up, brought it to the princess's mouth, and said, "Madame can't be angry, come, eat porridge." ”
But the princess did not open her mouth, and said, "How much wine have you drunk?" ”
"This, this king and Mr. Feng have tasted it lightly, but only half a cup."
"Can you drink half a glass of wine until dark?" The princess's watery eyes revealed anger, and she bit Xu De tightly.
"Oh, but a glass or two of wine, Madame."
"You don't know how to cherish your own body." The princess cried when she said it: "You drink, I don't care if you drink too much, you are dead, I will take You'er Liuli to feed the fish in Chen Jiang." ”
You'er is Xu You, the son of King Qin, and Xu Liuli's younger brother. Looking at the tears falling from the princess's face, Xu De's heart was broken, and he quickly put down the bowl and hurriedly wiped the princess's tears.
"Madam, I won't drink anymore, let's get my supernatural powers, I Xu De can't see you crying the most."
When the princess heard this, her face was slightly brighter: "Feng Tianshou is not a good thing, if he comes back in the future, I will let Jingzhi guard his scholar, and he doesn't know if there is wine in his bookcase." ”
"Guard, guard, Jingzhi is not enough, I will add two more guards with strong martial arts to you to guard together."
The princess stopped crying and said, "What did you say to Feng Laohu. ”
"It's just a transfer of people in the army." Xu De said, picked up the red date porridge again, scooped a spoonful and sent it to the princess's mouth.
The princess's red lips opened lightly, and she finally took a bite: "Liuli is not small, you have to choose a good family for her, even the emperor's daughter will marry." ”
"I know, I know, she chooses the talent of this big man at will, whoever she likes, if you don't want to, I'll go and grab someone, come, and eat another spoonful."
The princess ate another spoonful of red date porridge and said, "The porridge is cold, it's not delicious, I won't eat it." ”
"It's still steaming, or I'll make another one in the kitchen."
"I don't have an appetite, everyone is resting, I won't eat."
Xu De put the porridge bowl aside and said, "Madame has been unable to eat recently, but she is sick, and I will bring the imperial doctor to you tomorrow." ”
"What's the use of making a big fuss, it's just that the weather is hot and irritates, and it's natural to be cold when it's cold." After speaking, the princess subconsciously leaned over and rested her head on Xu De's shoulder.
"Madame is tired, I'll help you go back to rest."
"No, I just want to rely on you for a while, I've been snoozing lately and want to go to bed later. You can read me two volumes of excerpts, a few days ago, Jingzhi bought a lot of new excerpts from the Wanshu Hall and came back. ”
"Okay, I'll read it to you." Xu De easily fished out two volumes of drama excerpts from the place where the princess had stood first, one of which read "The Story of the East Chamber".
"That's it, Jingzhi read some to me. Probably to" the princess stretched out a green finger, ran over the still ink-scented book, pointed to a certain part of it, and said, "Here, read from here." ”
Xu De cleared his throat and looked at the excerpt of the play: "When Zhang Sheng was losing his soul, he heard someone calling him behind him, and when he looked back, it turned out to be a matchmaker, as if he had seen a relative, and tears flowed down again......
That night, the people waiting outside the door heard the strong voice of the prince in Chiba Xuan, slowly reading the best selling "East Chamber" in the city recently, although the princess has seen the excerpts of the play, will definitely reward them to the next person, but after all, it was a few days later, so, at the door of the Chiba Xuan, there were a few more eavesdropping people, and the people who kept vigil in other places even passed by here, so they stayed and didn't leave, listening to the sound of the house outside the door, and after a long time, they even dozed off together, I don't even know when the sound in the house stops.
Xu De gently put the sleeping princess on the soft couch in Chiba Xuan, and when he opened the door, he saw several people outside the door fainting. "The master didn't sleep, but you slept soundly?" Xu De opened her mouth, the princess had always felt shallow, for fear of disturbing her sleep, Xu De's voice was very low. But the crooked subordinate still came to his senses as if he had been struck by thunder, and the prince was not as good-tempered as the princess.
"This king wants to freshen up, and he will rest in this Chiba Xuan today."
Hearing this, the subordinates took action one after another, and their hands and feet were sharp, and Xu De turned around and entered the Chiba Xuan.
"Lord Wang, it's almost the third watch." In the silence, a voice came from outside the door, it was Xu De's coachman and guard, Li Tie.
"Got it, it's going to be." Xu De's voice was still deliberately suppressed, he didn't know that the princess was also awake.
"Arrange for someone to wash up?" Li Tie asked again.
"When I go out, the princess is still asleep."
"Send something to Chiba-gen, I'm awake." The princess's voice rang out.
"Then bring the stuff."
"Yes." Li Tie's voice was far away.
Not long after, a column of maids came, and Xu De's court clothes were also brought over, and they took the lamp and began to help Xu De freshen up.
"Why did you wake up so early today, you can sleep a little longer." Xu De asked aloud.
"I can't sleep well, and I dreamed that a deer kicked me."
"Deer? Kick you? Xu De, who was wearing court clothes under the service of the maid, turned his head, and the expression on his face looked stunned.
"Well, I've been awake for a while, and I can't sleep well."
Several maids held a bronze mirror, Xu De stroked the folds on the unicorn on his chest against the bronze mirror, and said, "You remove the things, order someone to guard them, and let the princess sleep for a while." ”
Several maids saluted slightly, and then withdrew from Chiba Xuan one by one, Xu De came to the couch, helped the princess comb the messy hair around her ears, and said, "Don't think about it too much, sleep well for a while, I'll go to the court first." ”
"Well, it's my father's birthday in a few days, so let's kill less."
"I know." After speaking, Xu De got up and exited Chiba Xuan, put out the lights, and closed the door.
In front of the Qin Palace, Li Tie had already prepared the carriage and horses, and after Xu De got into the carriage, he asked, "Is the prince sitting firmly?" ”
"Well, let's go."
The sound of carriages and horses is harsh in Tianjing City at this moment, fortunately, the large area of Qin Wangfu has already been cleared out by Xu De, and the nearest household is the original Wei State Mansion, but it also takes time to drive to it, and the rumbling sound of carriages and horses did not startle too many people's dreams.
One end of the golden road is connected to the Daming Palace, and the other end is connected to the noon gate, at this moment it is just five o'clock, and there are already many officials waiting for the court outside the noon gate. Except for the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs who was supported by Xu De, the rest of the people who claimed to be loyal to the Han Dynasty quietly retreated to the other side of the Golden Road and set up a pile.
Xu De's eyes wandered on the red city wall, and he was still silently thinking about what was going on with the deer in his heart.
He suddenly turned around, looked at the group of officials behind him and asked, "What is it like to be kicked by a deer in this dream, do you know?" ”
When the group of people raised by Xu De heard this, the second monk was puzzled, and they didn't know what was going on with Xu De. Looking at the hesitant expressions of this group of people, he smiled, didn't take it seriously, turned around again, and just wanted to ask the group of people opposite, but suddenly thought of his identity as a national thief in their eyes, and simply didn't think about it.
It's just that Xu De's question was discussed among the ministers, and even in the group of people opposite, there were a few people who whispered with sideways faces. Although it was the height of summer, but after all, it was too early, the sky was dark, no one could see whose face clearly, I don't know when, there was one more person in front of the gate that afternoon, he neither followed behind Xu De, nor squatted with the group of ministers who boasted of being high, just stood in the middle of the golden road so abruptly, and the people on both sides seemed out of place.
"Who's that man?" Xu De couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he saw that he was tall and tall, like a pine, so he grabbed someone behind him and asked.
"The person in the middle is Guo Yi, the head of the Ministry of War, and he is an interesting character."
"Oh? Tell me? The man's words intrigued Xu De.
"Guo Yi is responsible for such a fat difference as the Ministry of War's Military Election and Qing Officials, but he often buys rice on credit."
"This person is a good gambler?" Xu De's brows furrowed inadvertently, he can accept that his subordinates are greedy for money and lustful, but even if a good gambler is capable, it is difficult for him to enter his eyes, and a good gambler is always reckless, either a big thing or a bad thing, Xu De does not dare to gamble.
"Eh, the prince is wrong in what he said, Guo Yi is the most clean and self-conscious, but he has always been kind and charitable, and he also set up a Salesian Bureau in Xicheng, so he has been unable to make ends meet."
"What a reputation?" Xu De simply gave Guo Yi a label in his heart.
"You," he said, indicating the man who had just replied, "go and call him." This king has something to ask him. ”
"Yes." The person who was questioned was Wu Dakai, a member of the Ministry of Rites, who was also a talented person, but because of greed for money, he was rejected by the group of loyal ministers of the Han Dynasty and voted for Xu De.
When he got closer, Xu De found that this Guo Yi looked like a person in his thirties, with cool facial features and his father Guo Huai, with a dark face, he often saw this face when he was in the court, and he didn't know how to ask others who this person was.
"What did the prince call me?" That Guo Yi saluted and asked, all in one go, neither humble nor arrogant.
"Do you know how to interpret dreams?"
"Dream interpretation?" After getting affirmation from Xu De's face and saying that he Guo Yi had heard correctly, Guo Yi said: "I don't know how to interpret dreams, but I know a little bit about mathematics and physics, if the prince doesn't dislike it, I can try to listen to the prince's dream." ”
"This king dreamed of being kicked by a deer."
"Deer?"
"Yes, deer."
Guo Yi thought for a while and spoke: "The deer comes into a dream, it is auspicious, if the prince is hit by the deer, what the prince does is invincible." He paused, "If the princess dreams of a deer, then the villain congratulates the prince first, and the princess is probably happy." ”
The voice was not loud, except for Wu Dakai, Xu De estimated that no one around him could hear it, and when he came back to his senses, in the shadows, he didn't know what his expression was, but asked flatly: "How did you know." ”
"The prince never talked about private affairs in the previous dynasty." After that, he laughed, and his dark face revealed a simple temperament.
Xu De didn't say anything more, he was a little excited in his heart, but his expression was normal. Wu Dakai knew in his heart that he couldn't let the fourth person know about this, so he dragged Guo Yi to a place where there were few people.
