51. Watching a play
In late spring and March, when the peony in Beijing was in full bloom, King Wu returned to the dynasty. Watermark Ad Test Watermark Ad Test
Zhao Yuan, the king of Wu, has been leading troops outside for many years, and he is more resolute than ordinary royal relatives, with a sharpened nose and lips, and a tough facial line, all of which show that this is an extremely decisive person who kills and sequesters.
King Wu loved to fight, and he loved the sense of glory in watching the defeated army step by step into his trap.
He also likes power, and the pride of being on top of the box and having his men at the helm.
Dressed in black armor and riding on a white hoof, he glanced up at the emperor and empress who greeted him back on the Xuande Gate, as well as his brother: the crown prince Zhao Ling.
The three of them were bathed in the warm spring sun, and the crown prince Zhao Ling was wearing a white gown, looking down at him with a solemn expression.
He always thought that Zhao Ling was mediocre. Only took the opportunity to do a long time when he was reincarnated. In the future, he will be the emperor, and he will be a subordinate who is tired of running around for him. He sat back and relaxed, and he fought bloodily.
He is unwilling, the world quells the rebellion, and the credit is all his, just because Zhao Ling is the crown prince, his father can dilute and erase all his credits.
Zhao Ling on the Xuande Gate. Seeing the killer in the previous life looking up at him, his expression was unruly. He looked at it, and his heart was like a huge wave: he once thought that he and Xiao Qingmei had already seen the grievances of his previous life under the moon. However, when King Wu appeared in his eyes, his first reaction was still angry, and he hated to kill him as soon as possible.
The two pets in their arms sensed the indignation of their owners and poked their heads out to check. Zhao Ling glanced down at them, grabbed them out and hugged them. Nanping in the queen's arms ran to beg for it, Zhao Ling handed Ling Shuangmei to her, she raised her little face and asked, "Brother Huang, Sister Mei'er is to play with the marked ones." “
As she spoke, she wrapped Ling Shuangmei around her neck, and when Zhao Ling saw this, the memories in her heart came back like a tide. When the winter wind is cold, his little green plum will always smile softly and wrap a mink around his neck. The warmth of this world began from then on, slowly overflowing, like a spring breeze.
Zhao Ling suddenly choked in his throat, his eyes were covered with mist, he snatched Nanping's mink and stumbled down the city tower.
Seeing this, the queen comforted Nanping, who was crying in fright. The emperor frowned beside him: "If he had been allowed to marry Lin Qi, maybe he wouldn't have been so sad." “
The queen didn't speak, the royal family represents the world, marrying an idiot to be the crown princess, not only the people ridicule her, but the envoys of other countries come to the court, do you want her to lose her face abroad?
Zhao Ling returned to the Chongjiao Hall in despair, crying bitterly!
Her breath seemed to be still there, and there was her mark everywhere in the worship hall: her dressing table was under the south window, and before she entered the palace, there was no such thing in his dormitory; Her sewing basket was placed on the small table at the head of the bed, and after nightfall, when he read quietly, she embroidered quietly; His closet is full of her clothes because he wants to desperately compensate her??
Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.
When Quan An came to him, he sat in the corner dejectedly, stroking the mink in his arms without a match, and the two mink seemed to know his thoughts, and they were very quiet.
Hearing the voice, he raised his head dejectedly: "What's the matter?" "My voice was hoarse, and my eyes were red and swollen.
Seeing this, Quan An couldn't bear it: "Your Highness, the Holy One asked you to go to the Liangyi Hall to discuss matters." “
"Don't go!"
Izumian: ?? Your Highness, you are too willful, this is a state affair!
Seeing that Quan An was frozen in place, Zhao Ling got up, took the two minks in his arms, and went to the Taiji Palace.
When they arrived at the Taiji Palace, everyone was discussing how to settle the royal family of the two countries. Some people were in favor of imprisonment, but the two royal relatives were close to 500 people, plus guards and servants, and a special palace had to be built to accommodate them.
The emperor was kind-hearted, thinking that the prestige of the Celestial Empire was to convince people with virtue, so he took the path of treating prisoners well. But King Wu said: "He and I have been on good terms for a long time. often goes south to harass the border, which makes my people of Great Wei miserable, so it is better to kill them. “
Treat too benevolent, pit and kill too cruelly, and the ministers waver between the two. When Zhao Ling arrived, those who were in favor of pit killing gradually gained the upper hand, without it, it would cost a lot of money to raise a large number of prisoners, and in the future, prisoners of war would give birth to small prisoners of war, and their children and grandchildren would be endless, and they would be dragged down financially.
Zhao Ling listened silently for a long time, and at this time, the two minks in his arms smelled Lin Qingmei's breath, poked their heads out to probe around, and finally locked their eyes on Ji Shenxiu.
Ji Shenxiu recently locked Lin Qingmei at home, and in order to appease her, she often went to visit, and Lin Qingmei's breath inevitably remained on her body. The two minks jumped out of their arms and rushed to Ji Shenxiu's shoulders. The ministers were startled, and when they saw two dexterous minks, the two groups of people who were originally fighting for red ears laughed heartily and let go of their suspicions.
Ji Shenxiu touched the two minks, thinking that stealing chickens last time would not be a loss of rice. This time we have to double it to win it back.
The emperor asked Zhao Ling: "What does the prince think about the prisoners of war?" “
Zhao Ling saw the two minks pestering Ji Shenxiu, and wondered in his heart: If Rouge Ji pestered him, it was because he had raised it for a few days, why did Ling Shuangmei also pester him? At this time, he heard his father's question, he retracted his thoughts, and said: "My son once saw that the ancients used thieves to treat thieves, and gave the thieves who caught them officials, and entrusted them with the task of catching thieves. The thieves are familiar with their companions' modus operandi and hiding places, and they can catch them one by one. Within ten days, the road in the city will not be forgotten, and the night will not be closed. Now the two countries are a country of tigers and wolves, and if the Great Wei sends people to take care of it, it will not be easy to convince the public. It is better to make the prisoners of war officials and let them return to their hometowns to govern. but to slay down the princes and the prestige and cut off their thoughts. “
Everyone agreed: It is better to go to such a desolate place to take office, than to resign and go home. Throwing this discus to the prisoners of war to eat for themselves not only solved the matter, but also demonstrated the benevolence of the Celestial Empire.
The emperor praised "good" three times in a row, obviously very satisfied with Zhao Ling. He said to his ministers: "I rule the world with benevolence, the prince rules the world with wisdom, and King Wu rules the world with martial arts." This is the difference between a king and a minister. In the past, Zilu was rampant with swords, domineering and unreasonable, but Confucius served him with ceremonial clothes, benevolence, virtue, and wisdom. The same is true of the way of kings and ministers. “
The prince turned his head to look at King Wu, and saw that his face was slightly pale, and he was not very convinced.
The ministers thanked one after another: "The state-owned prince is like the prince, which is the blessing of the people." Prince Chitose Chitose Chitose! “
The crown prince also stepped down from his seat to thank him, and he specially grabbed King Wu's arm and pulled him up from the ground: King Wu had been practicing martial arts all year round, and his muscles were strong, and his arm under his palm was as hard as steel.
Zhao Ling was calculating how many people he needed to kill him.
After the ministers dispersed, Ji Shenxiu secretly walked out of the palace with the two minks, and Zhao Ling caught up and snatched the two minks back: "Ji Hanlin forgot that these two minks can't play with you?" “
Who knew that the two minks were still jumping on his shoulders, looking like they wanted to go with him. Zhao Ling was strange in his heart, thinking that the two minks were suffocated, so he ordered a guard to follow and asked Ji Shenxiu to take the two minks out for a walk.
Ji Shenxiu brought the two minks home smoothly, and as soon as the two minks arrived at the gate of Ji's mansion, they followed the smell and jumped up the wall, quickly jumped between the luxuriant branches, and soon crossed the wall to the inner courtyard.
The guards wanted to follow, but Ji Shenxiu had a ghost in his heart and stopped: "There are many women in the inner courtyard, and they will come out when the two minks are tired of playing." “
The guard felt that this was the truth, so he followed him to drink at the kind invitation of Ji Shenxiu.
Lin Qingmei is embroidering a wedding dress, although she doesn't want to marry Yanzhang, but her grandmother and Cousin Shen like him, so she can only marry him. The wedding dress has been half embroidered, and the phoenix with wings and long singing has been slightly exposed, although the lines are shallow, you can get a glimpse of the atmosphere and glory after it is made.
Two minks rushed into the house, scrambling to drill into her arms, she hugged them in surprise and asked, "Mei Lingshuang, Lingshuangmei, why are you here?" Is Brother Ling going to play with Mei'er again? “
She was very happy: if Brother Ling was willing to play with him, she would be good with him regardless of her previous suspicions.
The two minks are fragrant, and it seems that Brother Ling sprays them with rose water every day. Mink are small pets that are extremely easy to get dirty and need to be bathed every day to keep them clean.
The two minks played until sunset, and the sunset shone obliquely, and they didn't know where to return. Lin Qingmei brought hot water to bathe them, and after washing, she took a paintbrush to draw a rouge note for Mei Lingshuang, and said while drawing: "Why didn't Brother Ling draw a mark for you?" It's going to mess up! “
At this time, the guards were in a hurry, and Ji Shenxiu came to ask for two minks again. Lin Qingmei protected in her arms: "Don't give it!" Last time, cousin Shen, you took it away and didn't bring it back! “
Ji Shenxiu secretly damaged Zhao Ling: "The prince said that he would cut off with you in the future, and nothing could be left to you." I did everything I could to bring these two minks back, and if I didn't return them, it would be difficult to bring them back later. “
Xiao Qingmei was very sad when she heard Brother Ling say such hurtful words, and she wiped her tears with her two minks: Woo, don't be with him again!
Ji Shenxiu took the opportunity to snatch the two pets and ran away quickly. As he ran, he said, "Let Yanzhang take you to the market tomorrow." "Talk for comfort.
The guards took the two minks back to hand over the errand, Zhao Ling saw that Mei Lingshuang had a rouge mark drawn on her head, and said in surprise: "Who drew this?" “
"It's the lady of the Ji Mansion." The guards didn't dare to say that they were busy drinking all day, "The two minks stayed in the inner courtyard for a long time, and the ladies of the Ji Mansion drew marks for bathing. “
Zhao Ling faintly looked forward to it in his heart: "Which female dependant knows?" “
The guard shook his head: "My subordinates didn't go to the inner courtyard to avoid suspicion." “
Zhao Ling held the rouge note, and the answer was about to come out: this must be the mark that Xiao Qingmei took a bath and painted, ordinary ladies only care about playing, how could they think of taking care of them?
Is Ji Shenxiu's guts fat?
Coincidentally, the next day, in order to welcome the victorious return of King Wu, the emperor decided to watch a hundred opera performances on Jinming Pond, and all the officials went to accompany the driver to watch the play. Zhao Ling took Quan'an to Jinmingchi, but secretly ordered the guards to investigate the Ji Mansion.
Without Ji Shenxiu making a hindrance, he didn't believe that Lin Qingmei would not be able to turn it over!
However, the guards lurked in the big tree of the Ji Mansion and really didn't see Lin Qingmei.
Dou Yanzhang took her to the market early. Last night, Ji Shenxiu talked to him about the prince's two pets, thinking that Xiao Qingmei must have broken her heart, and took the opportunity to comfort her that she would achieve twice the result with half the effort.
The two walked around the market for a long time, and Lin Qingmei said, "Yanzhang, Mei'er wants to go home to see her grandmother." “
Dou Yanzhang knew from Ji Shenxiu that the prince would watch a hundred operas in Jinmingchi today. You can walk with confidence, so I led the horse from the south city to the west city. However, Jin Mingchi is also in Xicheng, and when Xiao Qingmei passed by the city gate, she saw that pedestrians were coming and going, and there were shouts everywhere, so she asked to go out of the city to see.
"Yanzhang, what a big gong and drum sound. Are you singing? Xiao Qingmei sat on a horse, and the outer city was mostly low female walls, and she could easily look outside the city, but the crowd was surging, and the excitement on Jinming Pond could not be glimpsed.
She was only fortunate to see a juggler on the top of a bamboo pole, and her heart was ready to move: "Yanzhang! Extended chapter! Mei'er is going to the theater! “
Dou Yanzhang knew that the prince was here, so he pretended not to hear it. Lead the horse and continue walking. Seeing this, Xiao Qingmei thought dejectedly: Yanzhang is really stupid!
She cautiously turned to the side and jumped off the horse with a "plop", but the noise was noisy, and Dou Yanzhang didn't notice that she had run away.
Taishan's old mother's heart was raised: "Xiao Mei'er, you are easy to get injured if you jump off the horse like this." "I almost broke all the clay dolls she was holding.
Xiao Qingmei touched Taishan's mother out: "No! Mother Taishan, Mei'er will take you to the play. “
The four banks of Jinming Pond are full of people, and there are many restaurants on the east bank that have set up colorful sheds, and pedestrians have picked a place to sit down, and watch the play while drinking, which is very leisurely. On the south bank, there is the Baojin Building where the emperor watched the play, and there are guards guarding it. On the north shore, there is only an Okuya that enlarges the dragon boat, and you can't pass it. The north and south were cut off, so the west bank was empty, except for piles of pebbles and smoke and willows.
Xiao Qingmei watched Baiju in the southeast corner, and looked at the Aoya on the north shore, where the big dragon boat was really big, as high as a five-story building, she had always wanted to go to the big dragon boat to play, but she never had the opportunity.
The East Coast is overcrowded. The sun was warm on her head, and Xiao Qingmei was squeezed and sweating profusely, so she had to lean towards the heavily guarded south bank. And the two minks were jumping on the Baojin Tower, and Rouge saw her with sharp eyes, beckoned Ling Shuangmei to jump off the pavilion flexibly, and happily ran into her arms.
Zhao Ling looked back for the two minks, but saw them jump into the arms of a fair girl with a veil on her head. The girl's eyes are beautiful. Big. In good spirits. She stroked the two minks with a gentle look in her eyes.
Zhao Ling's heart suddenly tightened: "Mei'er! “
He eagerly leaned out of the window: "Mei'er! “
However, Xiao Qingmei didn't hear it, there were too many people and it was too noisy, she smiled and hugged the two minks, stuffed them in her arms, and held Taishan's mother in her hand to watch the play.
The two minks in his arms were fragrant, and Brother Ling must have dripped rose water on them last night.
Taishan's mother heard it, but remembered that Xiao Qingmei had washed her face with tears during this time, and she didn't plan to tease Zhao Ling anymore. So let it go, An An watched the play in the palm of Lin Qingmei's hand.
Zhao Ling saw that she shouldn't, so he suddenly got up and went downstairs in three steps and two steps.
"Mer!" He walked faster and faster, and finally ran towards her. However, the moment she saw him, her eyes were full of incredulity and ?? It made him resist in a nutshell.
Xiao Qingmei was so aggrieved, she thought that Brother Ling was here to snatch the two minks back. With tears in her eyes, she cried and took out the two minks and threw them into his arms: "Give it back to you, Mei'er will never play with you again!" “
