Chapter 123: Infiltrating the Palace
Lian Jingshu bowed to Liu Xiu and said, "Your Majesty is too rewarded, Jingshu is ashamed to be ashamed." ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "If you can hear Miss Jingshu play every day, it can be described as a great blessing in life!" ”
Lian Jingshu's face was slightly red, and she bowed down and said: "Your Majesty said that it was funny, Jingshu is only a civilian woman, how can she enter and leave the palace." ”
Liu Xiu said disappreciatively: "This is simple! ”
As he spoke, he took off a piece of jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Luo You, and asked her to send it to Lian Jingshu, saying, "In the future, Miss Jingshu will go to the palace with this jade pendant, and the guards will report to me." ”
This jade pendant cannot be used as a pass to enter and exit the palace, but it can be used as a stepping stone to enter and exit the palace.
Holding the jade pendant sent by Liu Xiu, Lian Jingshu showed a look of panic, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, this ...... This jade pendant is too valuable, and Jingshu doesn't dare to accept it. ”
Liu Xiu said with a smile: "Miss Jingshu, although you can accept it with confidence, if you have time, you can come to Weiyang Palace to see me at any time." ”
Chang'an's Yuefu has long been moved to Luoyang, even if Chang'an still retains Yuefu, there are very few musicians in it.
To put it bluntly, musicians of a certain level have all gone to Luoyang to develop, and the musicians who still stay in Chang'an are all retired here.
Liu Xiu likes music, and he used to have an unpleasant relationship with Song Hong because of this incident.
Song Hong once recommended talents for Liu Xiu, this person played the piano very well, and when Liu Xiu was irritable with the ministers, he let him stroke the piano beside him.
Once it was like this, twice it was like this, and then it almost became the norm.
Song Hong was greatly dissatisfied and reprimanded the person he recommended, and then the person no longer dared to play the piano in front of Liu Xiu.
This made Liu Xiu feel a little unhappy, thinking that Song Hong was making a big fuss, but it was not good to delve into him, and then it was over.
Liu Xiu was in Chang'an, and there was a pianist who invited Yuefu, but when he looked down, he saw that they were all old people in their seventies and eighties, and Liu Xiu couldn't listen to the music they played.
It just so happened that at this time, Lian Jingshu appeared, not only with excellent appearance, but also with good piano skills, appreciating her playing is a double enjoyment of sight and hearing, of course Liu Xiu likes it.
After listening to Liu Xiu's words, Lian Jingshu asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, tomorrow, can Jingshu go to Weiyang Palace?" ”
Liu Xiu didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Of course you can!" ”
With Liu Xiu's approval, even Jingshu was very happy, and sighed with feeling: "In the past, Jingshu only walked outside the Weiyang Palace, and I never thought that one day I could enter the Weiyang Palace. ”
As she spoke, her face was also full of yearning.
When Liu Xiu heard this, she laughed and said, "Miss Jingshu wants to come, I welcome you at any time." ”
Next, Lian Jingshu played several songs in a row, Liu Xiu, Geng Yi, and Geng Shu talked about wine, drank happily, and ate a meal until the time of the day.
Liu Xiu, Geng Yi and Geng Shu were all very happy.
Lian Jingshu personally sent them out of Yuhua Pavilion, and then, Liu Xiu returned to Weiyang Palace, and Geng Yi and Geng Shu returned to the barracks to rest.
On the way, Luo You was still angry with Lian Jingshu, and said indignantly: "Lian Jingshu is really good at beating snakes with sticks, Your Majesty gave her a jade pendant, she will come to Weiyang Palace tomorrow, but I really can't wait!" ”
Seeing that Luo You had a lot of dissatisfaction with Lian Jingshu, Liu Xiu smiled and said: "Don't worry, I invited Jingshu to Weiyang Palace, just to listen to the piano, and nothing else." ”
Liu Xiu's personality is indeed not very feminine, not to mention, he has a stunning appearance like Yin Lihua by his side, and other women are really difficult to be like his eyes.
Without saying anything all the way, Liu Xiu and the others returned to the palace, and before resting, he thought of one thing, called Zhang Kun to his front, and asked him to draft an edict, the content of the edict was mainly to praise the virtues of Feng Yi's mother.
Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, and Feng's mother committed suicide to fulfill her son's loyalty.
At the back of the edict, Liu Xiu ordered Yingchuan to build a temple for Feng's mother in Raoyang to pay tribute to this great mother.
The Son of Heaven built a temple for the mother of the courtier, which is undoubtedly a great honor for the courtier.
Liu Xiu's doing this more or less contained guilt for Feng Yi.
Feng Yi really did life and death with him, back then, when he was at his most down, it was the bowl of bean porridge that Feng Yi cooked that pulled him back from the ghost gate.
Now, he is angry with Feng Yi because of the defeat of Hanyang, and Liu Xiu feels very unhappy.
Building a temple for Feng's mother can be regarded as a kind of compensation for Feng Yi.
After Liu Xiu finished speaking, Zhang Kun nodded again and again, and said, "The slave and maid have written it down, and the slave and maid will go to draft the decree." ”
After a short time, Zhang Kun wrote the edict and brought it to Liu Xiu and asked him to look at it.
Liu Xiu took a general look at it, and pointed out a few dissatisfaction points one by one, and asked Zhang Kun to revise them.
After Zhang Kun rewrote an edict, Liu Xiu confirmed that it was correct, and then stamped the jade seal.
"Tomorrow morning, the edict may be promulgated."
"Yes! Your Majesty! ”
Zhang Kun bowed in response, and retreated with the edict in his hand.
Liu Xiu returned to the dormitory to rest.
Zhang Kun and Luo You waited for him to change his clothes and wash, and then, Liu Xiu waved his hand to the two of them and said, "Let's all step down!" ”
Zhang Kun bowed and withdrew from the dormitory.
Luo You didn't leave, and asked with concern, "How is Your Majesty's injury?" ”
Liu Xiu smiled and said, "I have already recovered, don't worry!" ”
"Your Majesty, please let the servant take a look."
Liu Xiu looked at Luo You, but still took off his middle shirt and went shirtless.
Luo You looked closely, and the arrow wound on Liu Xiu's chest was only a faint red mark, and even the scar was about to disappear.
Seeing this, Luo You was surprised, and he also put his mind at ease, and gave Liu Xiufu a salute before exiting the dormitory.
Liu Xiu shook his head, put on his middle coat again, lay on his side on the bed, and picked up a roll of bamboo slips.
After watching it for a while, tiredness hit, Liu Xiu casually put the bamboo slips aside and slowly closed his eyes.
Hearing that there was no movement in the dormitory for a long time, Luo You walked in and saw that Liu Xiu had fallen asleep, she blew out the candlesticks one by one, and then walked out lightly and closed the door.
Late at night, there was silence in Weiyang Palace.
But in the midst of this silence, a dark shadow appeared silently on the roof of the dormitory.
The black shadow bowed, like a tanuki, and came to the top of Liu Xiu's bedroom.
The shadow crouched on the roof, first looking around, then drawing a dagger and sticking it through the gap in the tiles.
His movements were slow and steady, and without a sound, one of the tiles was loosened by the dagger.
He pinched the tile with his fingers, tried it slightly, and then slowly pulled it out.
He pulled out three tiles in a row, revealing a small hole in the roof.
He looked down at the small hole, his eyes adjusted for a while, and finally he could see the situation in the hall clearly.
He judged the position of the bed, and then gently put the three tiles back into place.
He was lying on the roof, his limbs moving together, like a gecko, crawling on the roof.
Moving some distance, he stopped, drew his dagger again, and repeated the trick, loosening the tiles.
Then, the loose tiles are pulled out little by little.
At this time, the small hole he dug was just above Liu Xiu's head.
He looked down and confirmed, and then, he put away his dagger, took out a roll of silk thread from his bosom, and lowered the end of the silk thread down the small hole in the roof, little by little.
The silk thread slowly hung down and hung down to the top of Liu Xiu's head.
At this time, his movements are slower, and the silk thread sags more slowly.
This silk thread approached Liu Xiu's face little by little, and I don't know how long it took, one end of the silk thread was about to touch Liu Xiu's lips.
It was only then that the shadow stopped lowering the thread.
He followed the opening, looked down again, and made sure that the position of the silk thread was correct, he reached into his arms, took out a small porcelain bottle, pulled off the cap, put the mouth of the bottle on the silk thread, and poured it out little by little.
After a short time, a drop of water flowed out from the mouth of the porcelain bottle, and this drop of water flowed down the silk thread little by little, and the end of the silk thread was above Liu Xiu's lips.
I saw that this drop of water slipped all the way down, and soon it slid to the end of the silk thread.
Click.
The droplets of water fell from the end of the silk thread and landed between Liu Xiu's lips, sliding into his mouth along the gap between his lips.
The black shadow lying on the main hall, his eyes flickered obviously, he took the porcelain vase, and poured out a second drop of water.
Just like just now, this drop of water also slid down the silk thread, slid to the end of the silk thread, and then fell into Liu Xiu's mouth.
But at this moment, Liu Xiu, who was sleeping soundly on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, and at the same time, he raised his hand and flicked his index finger outward.
Syllable! The droplets of water that gathered at the end of the silk thread, along with the silk thread, were ejected upwards by him.
The black shadow obviously didn't expect that Liu Xiu, who was sleeping soundly, would wake up suddenly, let alone that after eating a drop of deadly poison, Liu Xiu would still be safe and sound.
This drop of water that was popped out by Liu Xiu was impartial, and it was in the eyes of the black shadow.
The black shadow couldn't help but let out a faint exclamation.
It was this exclamation that made Xuying, who was guarding outside the dormitory, suddenly wake up and shouted: "There are people on the roof!" ”
As he spoke, his sword was unsheathed, his body rose into the air, and with one hand he grabbed the eaves, and the man had jumped onto the roof.
The black shadow's right eye was shot by venom, and he shivered in pain.
Xu Ying looked at it, carried his sword, and stepped forward with an arrow.
The void court and the void flew closely behind, and they also jumped onto the roof.
The man in black covered his eyes with one hand, waved out with the other, and a flash of lightning shot out, heading straight for Xuying's front door.
Xuying dodged to the side, and with a bang, the edge of the dagger brushed against his cheek, shooting towards the Void Court and Void Flying behind him.
Void Court and Void Fly swung their swords outward almost at the same time, and when Chang Chang, the dagger that flew over shot shot into the air.
After throwing the dagger, the man in black jumped off the roof, regardless of whether he was shot or not, intending to escape along the back of the dormitory.
However, as soon as he jumped down, he didn't take two steps before a large group of Yu Lin Wei rushed towards him.
A halberd stabbed at him.
The figure of the man in black jumped to his feet, dodged the halberd, and turned around and ran to the side.
But it was too late, and a large number of Yulinwei and Tiger Ben troops came from all directions, surrounding the black-clothed people.
Crash! As the back window of the main hall opened, Liu Xiu carried the Chixiao Sword and jumped out of the window.
Seeing Liu Xiu, who was like a dragon and a tiger, a touch of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man in black, he used intestinal poison, a drop is enough to kill, but Liu Xiu looks like a dragon and a tiger, could it be that he has an antidote on his body?
The man in black secretly said carelessly, he didn't even think of this.
The surrounding Yu Linwei took the lead in attacking, and everyone shouted in unison: "Kill-" Yu Linwei rushed to the front of the black-clothed man and stabbed out his halberd.
The man in black snapped, his body jumped up a meter and a half high, and the halberds that stabbed him were all dodged.
The others were still in the air, and a circle of crossbow arrows flew around them.
The man in black shook his arms, and two more daggers appeared in his hands, and waved them around, and he heard a series of clinking, a series of crisp sounds, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows flew out.
The man in black landed from the air, and the halberds around him stabbed again, and the man in black rose into the air again.
It can be seen that the man in black has excellent light body skills, and if he changes to someone else, he can't support his physical strength after a few jumps in a row, but he can jump again and again, dodging the halberds around him.
Luo You walked quickly to Liu Xiu's side, looked at the man in black who was surrounded by many Yu Lin Guards and Tiger Ben Army, and was still jumping up and down, and couldn't help muttering: "How did this assassin sneak into the palace?" ”
