At the end of the dance, the seven orchids once again thanked each other. The musicians withdrew, and the door to the private room was closed, and it was time to accompany the guests to drink.

Cao Cao was also not polite, he first chose the red-shirted orchid who seemed to be the oldest but also the most convex and backward, coquettish and colorful, Yuan Shao, Xu You and Liu Bei either held their own identities, or they were not good at this, they were all arbitrary, and they did not choose first. However, Cao Cao, who took a sip of wine while holding the orchid in his arms, kept paying attention to Jiang Xun, and saw that Jiang Xun glanced at the youngest purple-shirted orchid a few more times, so he named and asked the orchid to serve Jiang Xun.

Indeed, this orchid is full and angular, but not as exaggerated as the other orchids with high noses and deep eyes. The eyebrows are drawn thick and long, and the sword is straight, but it is just right for the pointed face; The heavy eyelids are wide, and a pair of eyes are like a blue lake in the desert, and if you look at it twice, you will have the desire to plunge into it and swim freely; The nose is tall and slightly hooked and rounded, like dew condensed on the jade in the morning light; Looking closely, the lips are slightly thin, and it seems that there is a trace of length in the person, but it adds a bit of coldness; Especially the flawless skin like snow, delicate and smooth, can be reflected in the candlelight, and the lotus flower that blooms once in a thousand years on the snow-capped mountain is nothing more than that.

In Cao Cao's opinion, the only drawback of this orchid is that she is too young, only fourteen or fifteen years old, not as good as Jiang Hyun, so her development is not complete, but it is in line with the taste of young people. A touch of small lotus on his chest, a slow mound behind his waist, and a cool lilac gauze skirt are draped, not like the wine lady of the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, but like a fairy walking in the world.

The felt beds in the private room were quite large, and the purple-shirted orchid sat directly next to Jiang Hyun, who looked at the delicate face and wanted to make a different opening, but after thinking about it, he couldn't think of anything chic, and finally fell into the cliché and asked, "What is the name of the girl?" ”

"Childe can call me Yi'er." The tone is a little strange, but it's because Chinese is not the native language.

"Yi'er......" Jiang Hyun suddenly came to inspiration and said: "The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost." The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. The road is blocked and climbed, the road is blocked and right, and the people of Iraq can finally be found. ”

Yi'er gently pushed Jiang Xun and said with a smile: "What you really want is not far away, and you can think about it." It turns out that what Childe likes is this unattainable? ”

"Oh?" Jiang Hyun was surprised and asked, "Yi'er Yitong "Poem"? ”

"Tonight, what night, see this beloved. Zixi, what is such a beloved? Yi'er's tone was obscure, but with a tactful and slightly hoarse voice, it had a different flavor.

Yi'er's words are derived from a poem in the "Tang Feng" in the "Poem", "Silk Preparation", which tells the story of a newlywed couple joking with each other when they are in a cave room. Yi'er expressed it quite explicitly, and Jiang Hyun's heart rippled slightly when he heard it, like a fallen leaf falling leisurely and drifting with the current. Jiang Hyun took a breath of cold air, forced himself to be sober, and saw that the bartender was serving the dishes, so he invited everyone to eat together, temporarily diverting the topic.

Delicacies were also served, and the table was full of exotic characteristics, a variety of unique methods of cooking beef, sheep, dog meat, and a variety of green leafy vegetables. The slender and beautiful orchid greets seven people, which can be described as the best of etiquette.

The beauty is on the side, the red-sleeved green moth, on this occasion, as a man, it is easy to be distracted. While enjoying the delicious food and wine and Yi'er's service, Jiang Hyun did not forget to observe a few people all the time. Cao Cao has a temperament and hides without restraint, but after a few glasses of wine, there is no rudeness, and he is romantic but not obscene; Yuan Shao is easy-going and approachable on the outside, but he doesn't seem to look down on these orchids, and he always feels a little cold; Xu You didn't look at Yuan Shao, who had the highest status, and Jiang Xun, who set up a banquet, didn't do anything, he couldn't help but color his heart, and he couldn't learn Cao Cao's casual nature, and his face was full of monkey anxiety on his face; It's Liu Bei, who is young, not a few years older than himself, just the age of a gentleman, but he doesn't seem to be interested in wine, the enchanting orchid, the delicious wine in the luminous glass, are all superficial, not like restrained, more like no desire, but Jiang Hyun Gao has seen a lot; Looking at his two brothers again, Shi Ah is okay, he maintains the etiquette, there are big names such as Yuan Shao and Cao Cao present, and he is a little restrained, but Jing Wei is holding a cup in his left hand and taking food with his right hand, only caring about eating and drinking, and hanging the waiting orchid aside, which is incomprehensible.

During the banquet, talk about the past, say some interesting things, Jiang Xun also mentioned the two bandits in Zaoyang Pavilion, this matter Wei Ju has reported part of the case to the imperial court, because it involves a group of military horses, not a small case, and it was originally related to Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, Liu Bei, as soon as everyone talked about it, they completely knew the reason for it.

A few years ago, the Son of Heaven was weak and sick because of the military horses supplied by the Liangzhou priest and Liuma Yun, and wanted to be held accountable but to no avail, thinking that there was a lot of fraud and corruption in the meantime, so he secretly ordered He Jin, who was then a master craftsman, to buy a military horse through private channels, He Jin asked Yuan Shao and Cao Cao, and the two introduced Liu Bei in Youzhou. After Liu Bei got the letter, he rushed to Luoyang alone, met He Jin, and negotiated to buy good horses from Xianbei and Wuhuan, and He Jin was overjoyed. After that, through Yuan Shao's network, he passed the book to Zhuo County, and ordered Guan Yu to purchase 100 good horses from the north first, and let Su Shuang and Zhang Shiping send them to Luoyang.

At the beginning of the year, He Jin was transferred to Henan Yin, but the Son of Heaven still asked him to finish the matter secretly. Originally, He Jin also secretly bought horses, but there was no impermeable wall in the court, after the news walked, Zhang Rang thought that He Jin was buying military horses privately, so he planned to pit He Jin, and let Zhang Lun in Yingchuan's family send someone to rob these military horses and collect evidence, because a large number of military horses can only go by land, and Suozao County is the only way, so he asked Zhuang Xing, who had already served as the lieutenant of Suozao County, to secretly help, and then impeach He Jin. After that, there was the Zaoyang Pavilion.

The beginning and end of the matter, everyone finally understood it clearly, and they all sighed at the righteousness and courage of Jiang Xun and others, and hated and scolded the Zhang family for doing evil and disregarding people's lives. Cao Cao loves talents, and when he saw Jiang Xun talking about Dian Wei's bravery, he asked Dian Wei why he didn't come to Luoyang together.

Speaking of this, Jiang Hyun also had some regrets, but Dian Wei still had unfinished business at that time, and he didn't tell Jiang Hyun and Jing Wei what it was, he only said that he would see him again in the future, and he would tell him frankly. Jiang Hyun was not strong, and after giving Jing Lao a funeral, he left by Dian Wei.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, feeling that Yuan Shao seemed to have something to say, Jiang Xun took out two pieces of broken gold from his sleeve, handed them to Yi'er, and said, "It's not too early, so let's go down and rest first." ”

Yi'er took the gold, handed the larger one back to Jiang Hyun from under the table, leaned on Jiang Hyun's ear, sighed at Ruolan, and said, "In this way, I will retire first." After speaking, he also winked meaningfully at Jiang Hyun.

The wine lady is a good woman, but she entertains people with sex and earns some money to make a living, and most of them are forced to do so. Kang Hyun won't discriminate against them, but he won't really be tempted either. But Yi'er was not greedy for money, and returned the money to Jiang Hyun, which made Jiang Hyun a little puzzled, but when Jiang Hyun came to his senses, Yi'er had already left the felt bed.

Zhu Hu Ying bowed and withdrew, and there were only seven people left in the private room.

Yuan Shao cleared his throat, opened his mouth first, and said, "Cough, everyone, since Chen Situ was harmed by the Ten Standing Attendants, eunuchs have become more and more rampant. Fortunately, Henan Yin Sui Gao Gong has won the credit of the Son of Heaven and can be used by my generation. However, today's Wannian princess returns to the capital, I am afraid that there will be variables! "Sui Gao, is He Jin's expression.

Jiang Hyun didn't know much about the princess of Wannian, so he asked: "He Fujun is the queen's elder brother, he is deeply trusted, and he often does not avoid eunuchs, but he is loyal." However, what does this matter have to do with the princess of ten thousand years? ”

Seeing that Jiang Hyun didn't know about the relationship, Yuan Shao said: "Princess Wannian, for the former queen Song. In the past, the queen of the Song Dynasty was in the right position without favor, and the harem was fortunate and ruined. Zhongchang Wang Fu once punished Liu Kui, the king of Bohai, and his concubine Song, who was the aunt of Queen Song. Wang Fu was afraid that Empress Song would complain about her, so he and Taizhong Doctor Cheng Ah and Dang He jointly constructed Empress Song to curse on the left road. The Son of Heaven believed it, so he planned to collect the seal ribbon and put it in the violent room, Queen Song was sad to death, and the He family was established. Although the Son of Heaven did not favor Queen Song, he loved his only daughter, the princess of Wannian. The Son of Heaven was afraid that the princess would be victimized, so he sent it to the Empress Dowager Dong of Yong'an Palace to be raised, and then Wang Meimei gave birth to Dong Hou, and sent it to the Empress Dowager Dong's house in Hejian with Dong Hou to raise her. The Son of Heaven loves Dong Hou and the princess, and now that the princess has returned to the capital, presumably Dong Hou will also return to the capital. ”

Dong Hou is Liu Xie, who was born to Wang Meiren, the Son of Heaven. Wang Meiren, named Wang Rong, is the granddaughter of Wang Bao, the former general of the five officials, and the daughter of Wang Zhang, born in a famous family, with elegant manners, good appearance, well-proportioned figure, and won the favor of the Son of Heaven. Queen He, who was in charge of the harem, was very jealous of Wang Meiren, so when Wang Meiren was pregnant with Liu Xie, she was afraid of provoking Queen He's deeper jealousy, so she did not tell the Son of Heaven, but secretly had an abortion. But the abortion pill did not work, and the child was unharmed. In order to protect Wang Meiren, the Son of Heaven sent the pregnant Wang Meiren to Yongle Palace.

Two years ago, after Wang Meiren gave birth to Liu Xie in Yongle Palace, Queen He was jealous, afraid that Wang Meiren would further threaten her status if she had a son, so she instructed people to secretly put poison in the decoction that Wang Meiren took after giving birth, and Wang Meiren died immediately after drinking.

When the Son of Heaven heard the news, he went to Yongle Palace to inspect it, and saw that Wang Meiren's limbs were blue and black, and he knew that he was poisoned and died, so he urgently ordered the murderer to be traced, and soon found out that it was Queen He. The Son of Heaven couldn't help but be furious, and wanted to depose Empress He immediately. Empress He had used a huge amount of money to buy off the eunuch Cao Jie and others, who were trusted by the Son of Heaven, and the eunuchs knelt down together, why did the queen intercede, and the Son of Heaven actually pardoned Queen He.

Liu Xie was not yet full-term at this time, and the Son of Heaven was afraid that Liu Xie would be assassinated again if he left Liu Xie in the harem, so he discussed with the Empress Dowager Dong and sent him and Liu Qian directly to the Empress Dowager's maiden home, that is, the Dong family in Hejian. Since then, Liu Xie has taken the Dong family as his family, so everyone calls him Dong Hou.

In this correspondence, Liu Bian, the eldest son of the emperor born to Queen He, because the previous princes all died, so Liu Bian was not raised in the palace after he was born, but has been raised in the home of the blind road Shi Ziyi, so he is called Shi Hou.

After Yuan Shao finished speaking, Jiang Xun asked again: "How is the Son of Heaven Yu Shihou?" ”

Cao Cao on the side leaned on a few sticks, and said while picking his teeth: "Well, the Son of Heaven has never liked Shi Hou, but prefers the princess, and the princess also loves Dong Hou." Also, the Son of Heaven and Wang Meiren have a deep relationship, and although Dong Hou is young, he must also prefer him. ”

This time, Jiang Xun was clear, and he also knew the worries of Yuan Shao and others, so he said: "Although the princes and princesses are young, the Son of Heaven is in the prime of life, and when Dong Hou is older, I am afraid that he will be born and abandoned!" ”

"Yes," Yuan Shao said, "if you only abolish the long and the young, it is fine." It's just that if Dong Hou is the prince, if he thinks that the Song family and the Wang family will wither in the clan, they will rely on the princess and be a eunuch, which is what my generation is worried about! "It has always been ominous, but as long as those in power can control the situation, it will not cause any major turmoil. It's just that once Liu Xie succeeds to the throne in the future, the only relative he can rely on is his sister Liu Qian, and there is no one in their mother's family, so they will inevitably reuse eunuchs to take charge of the internal and external courts, and the eunuchs will continue to take power, and the consequences are unpredictable. The world of the Han Dynasty can no longer withstand the scourge of the party.

Jiang Hyun thought of a scene that Shi A saw during the day, and asked, "Brother Benchu, is there anyone in the court who doesn't want the princess to return to the capital?" ”

Yuan Shao hesitated and didn't speak, Xu You took over the conversation and said: "If someone doesn't want the princess to return to the capital, it must be He Fujun, why did Bo Pei ask?" ”

Jiang Hyun replied: "Today in Taixue, Zitai once saw a knife mark and arrow hole on the princess's carriage. It seems to me that the princess was spared the assassination. ”

Hearing this, except for Jing Wei, who was still eating and drinking, and Shi A, who saw this with his own eyes, everyone was surprised. Yuan Shao thought for a while and said, "He Fujun is in charge of Gyeonggi, he is honest and loyal, and he will not act like this!" ”

Cao Cao said: "We are so close to He Fujun, and we are still so suspicious, let alone the Son of Heaven? I am worried about it, I am afraid that some people have bad intentions, so as to blame He Fujun, even if they can't punish the crime, they can make the Son of Heaven evil! ”

In Cao Cao's words, He Jin is in a high position, has a queen sister, and has a bright future, if this matter is really done by him, even if he really kills Liu Qian, but once it is revealed, it will be more than worth the loss, with Yuan Shao and Cao Cao's understanding of He Jin, he will not be so stupid.

Yuan Shao's face was serious, he nodded, and said: "Meng De's words are reasonable, tomorrow, I will go to see He Fujun and ask him to find out about this matter and take precautions as soon as possible." ”
