Between the palaces, a male voice sings from time to time. "The red sun is three feet high, and the golden furnace is the first to add incense beasts. The red brocade lichen wrinkles with the steps. The beauties dance a little golden hairpin, and sniff the stamens when the wine is bad. The other hall heard the flute and drum play ......"

Li Yu's voice. This "Huanxi Sha" was written by himself before, and the words are full of fragrance and luxury; But at this time, when he sang it, his voice was extremely bleak, and he sang a proud song into a memorial to the sadness of remembering the past.

"Hahaha......" Li Yu suddenly raised his head and laughed. He was disheveled, and his loose clothes were dragging to the floor.

He paced a few steps in despair, raised his hand, and threw the paper in his hand into the air. Paper, like snowflakes outside the window, swings in the air to the ground. The words of incense on the paper flashed in the tumbling, red sun, golden furnace, incense beast, red brocade, golden hairpin...... It was as if there were all kinds of beautiful petals scattered in the air.

Walking to the side of the imperial case, Li Yu casually picked up another piece of paper. The handwriting on it is clear and beautiful, he was slightly stunned, it was Zhou Xian's words: Xiao makeup has passed for the first time, Shen Tan has paid some attention. Reveal the cloves to people. A song, temporarily lead the cherry to break. Luo sleeves can be remnant, and the cup is deeply swirled by the fragrant mash. The embroidery bed is oblique and delicate. chewed the red mushrooms and smiled at Tan Lang.

Li Yu cried, tears streaming down his face. The poem seemed to awaken his memory, and the woman's smile suddenly appeared in front of him. She's shy and gentle, she's playful and coquettish...... Li Yu thought of this failed assassination, and regretted it even more, and for a while he was sad and heartbroken.

There was a document next to the imperial case, which was a letter of interrogation sent by an envoy sent by the commander of the Zhou army in Jiangnan. accused Li Yu of injustice and scolded him for being despicable.

Li Yu glanced at it, and after being sad, he was angry, annoyed and afraid, and immediately grabbed the document and tore it in two with a "bang". He was still angry, and lifted his sleeves on the imperial case, and suddenly the newspapers and ministers that were piled up on the case were overturned on the floor like snowflakes.

There's been so much music lately that he hasn't read any of them. So far, what else is there to see...... Finished! Finished! Everything was over, despair and boundless darkness pressed on Li Yu's heart.

The eunuch standing outside the door heard the voice and hurriedly bent down and walked in, "Your Majesty is angry, angry." The eunuch fell on his knees and crawled forward to collect the things on the ground. Perhaps, in the eyes of others, these are all important things related to military affairs.

At this moment, another eunuch hurriedly walked to the door, and couldn't wait: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy!" ”

"What?" Li Yu turned his head and frowned.

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Chen Qiao has mobilized troops and horses to Nandu!" The 150,000-strong army is advancing by land and water, and is galloping through the mouth of Anhui. Chen Qiao wrote that he would rush to Jiangning Mansion at all costs to save His Majesty and save the country from peril! ”

"What?" Li Yu's heart suddenly lifted, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

The Hukou army, especially the navy, was one of the main elites of the Southern Tang Kingdom, and now it was dispatched, which made Li Yu see hope. He seemed to grasp a life-saving straw again, and asked urgently, "What about the report?" ”

The eunuch hurriedly said: "The slave family will go and ask the official of the department to send it!" ”

Li Yu was so excited that he rubbed his hands and paced back and forth in place: "Chen Qiao is a loyal minister, he is a loyal minister of the Southern Tang Kingdom...... Come on, go and pass the ministers into the palace to discuss matters! Even Han Xizai was called. ”

……

Han Xizai was drunk at a banquet at home last night, and fell asleep on the couch in the hall, and there were two colleagues opposite him, who fell asleep. There were snowflakes outside, but fortunately it was quite warm inside. There was no fire in the brazier, and it was covered with a layer of burnt white ash, but the charcoal underneath the ash was still red; Han Xizai and the others were covered with fluffy blankets.

The man from the palace knocked on the door of his house and explained the purpose of his visit. When the servant heard that he was from the palace, how dare he slack off? On the one hand, he asked people to go in and call the master, and on the other hand, he welcomed the palace people into the house.

There was a movement in Han's house, and at this time, the people in the wing room were woken up.

A young man opened the window and took a look, then hurriedly ducked his head back again. He is the new champion Huang Can, who is not even wearing clothes, and is naked. A delicate voice on the bed said: "The Spring Festival is short, why is Lang Jun so anxious?" ”

Huang Can hurriedly said: "The sky is already bright, and the palace seems to have sent someone." I need to get dressed and get up. ”

The girl on the bed is Han Xizai's concubine Xiaohong, who has been in love with the young, handsome and talented Huang Can for a long time, and finally took advantage of the wine after last night's banquet to taste joy with Huang Can.

Huang Can was very polite at the beginning, and after he was admitted to the top prize, he was ambitious, and he was ready to make friends with colleagues to accumulate knowledge, display his talents and achieve his ambitions. Han Xizai has a lot of prestige in the DPRK and has a wide range of contacts, so Huang Can became a guest of honor in his house. Later, he found out that Han Xizai didn't care about the closeness of the concubine and the guests, and once Han Xizai accidentally bumped into the good deeds of his friends and concubines at home, and hurriedly withdrew and said, "You continue."

So Huang Can gradually became tempted, and he was a young man, who could withstand Xiaohong's temptation, and finally stayed in Xiaohong's room last night.

At this time, Huang Can hurriedly dressed and tidied up, opened the wing room and quietly glanced outside, there was no one in the snow, so he flashed out and went to the living room to see Han Gong.

A civil official and a eunuch were standing in the hall, looking embarrassed. Han Xizai's two guests had already woken up, and the two of them stood in front of Han Xizai's couch and pushed his arm: "Han Gong...... Han Gong ......"

"Hmm!" Han Xizai squinted his eyes and glanced at it, turned over and continued to sleep, ignoring it.

One of the guests, Dr. Chen Yong of Taichang Temple, hurriedly turned around and said, "I'm really sorry, Han Gong drank too much last night, and he probably hasn't sobered up yet." Otherwise, the two of you will go back first, and we will wake up Han Gong and tell me about the summons of the palace. ”

The civil official who came kept shaking his head and sighed: "This is the case of state affairs, you ...... Alas! Alas! Don't say it! With that, he shook the sleeves of his robe vigorously, turned around and left, as if he was a little angry. The eunuch next to him carried the dust and hurriedly chased after him.

After everyone left, Han Xizai woke up slowly, sat up cross-legged, and said with a blank face: "Drunk and dry mouth, bring a cup of tea for the old man." ”

Chen Yong hurriedly said: "The person who came just now was sent by His Majesty, does Han Gong know?" ”

Han Xizai looked surprised and said, "Oh? Quick, quick, help the old man to change clothes. ”

Chen Yong said: "It may be that Han Gong was asked to discuss military affairs, at this juncture, there is nothing more important besides this." Han Gong, the matter of Liu Cheng ......"

Han Hee-jae was noncommittal.

The colleague next to him took over and said: "Many people say that Liu Cheng is not capable. Xiaguan also heard that the time was not yet ripe for the Zhou army to attack Jiangning Mansion at this time, and the target might be Jingkou...... Liu Cheng presided over the deployment in the east and controlled the power of the land and water forces, in case something went wrong......"

He said again: "It's a pity that Chen Qiao went to Nandu, it would be good if he was here, this person is bold, and His Majesty is willing to listen to him." ”

Another colleague on the side couldn't help but complain: "Your Majesty has his own ideas!" How could any courtier ever be asked of such a thing as sending assassins? Now our country is speechless in front of the people of the world, and all of them have become traitors! ”

Chen Yong was noncommittal and immediately shut up.

Huang Can, the champion of the Yuanlang, said: "The country is in danger, although Chen Qiao is not there, Han Gong is also quite valued by His Majesty, or Han Gong will contact the princes and jointly impeach Liu Cheng." Save this person from misleading the country! ”

"Impeachment? In what name? Chen Yong glanced at Huang Can, "Liu Cheng was hand-picked by His Majesty, and he was impeached like this, and he didn't even have an explanation, why?" It's going to be very complicated to do that...... Huang Langjun, Liu Cheng can make arrangements in the east, can be hand-picked by His Majesty, and there are also a group of people in the court; Otherwise, Your Majesty wouldn't even know his name, and you would have thought a little too easily. ”

Huang Can said: "Then how dare Chen Qiao speak out? ”

Chen Yong said: "Chen Qiao fortunately went to Nandu, otherwise he might really attack Liu Cheng, at this time, the pros and cons are really hard to say." Liu Cheng may not be able to fall for a while, but in order to protect himself, he is distracted by infighting in the court, which will only make the situation worse! As it is now, you can stabilize Liu Cheng first and persuade him to fight steadily. ”

Han Xizai said: "Your Majesty is not a mediocre lord, and we can't blame the monarch at this point, we just need to do our duty and follow Your Majesty's holy will...... Ouch, I shouldn't have drunk too much last night, and now I have a headache. But the old man didn't dare to resist the order, hurry, help me to change clothes. ”
