Chapter 3 Deliberations of the Crane Pavilion
The crane pavilion is named after the mural on the wall, the crane on the painting has different expressions, some stand in the water, there are clouds and fog, there are dwelling in the deep mountains, it is really a work of ingenuity. There is the most complete collection of books in Jinguo, landscape paintings, and some pocket celebrity inscriptions, celebrity authentic works, etc. The collection is 5,000 years old.
Summer evenings are the most relaxing and reminiscent of your childhood. The people outside chirped and chirped, but people didn't bother it. The warm wind blew through his robe and his hair. Wen Xuan had already wondered when he was a child, is this the wind moving or the people moving?
Wen Xuan's childhood was spent in the imperial palace, with the royal brothers and children, playing and painting, and reading poetry and books. I think I've had a good childhood, but I've never experienced civilian life, and I'm very envious. On a summer evening, he sat on a bamboo chair, his mother shook a fan beside him, and his father ate watermelon beside him. The whole family enjoyed the moon together, the sky was high and cool, and in order to set off the moon, the clouds were illuminated blue-black. On the bamboo chair, I guessed that I could see Chang'e from the moon for a while. Wenxuan has always wanted to feel the warmth of this kind of family, but this has become a long-cherished wish, his father has passed away, and the queen mother only asked me to be a good Jinwen king, not to lose the country, even when we meet, I only call me Jinwen Wang, Wenxuan has never heard the word Wenxuan again. Now the mutiny in the west really worries me.
The three ministers in the Immortal Crane Pavilion were discussing, which princess should be sent to reconcile with the affairs of the west?
The eldest princess's name is Wanying, fourteen years old, very good-looking, slim figure, delicate facial features, proficient in calligraphy and painting, and gentle temperament. thought that she was the most suitable person, but the queen mother assigned her to the second prince. If you rashly make peace with your relatives, you may hurt the harmony between you and the prince.
The second princess's name is Min Zhi, thirteen years old, she doesn't like to speak, cherishes words like gold, loves antiques, likes to study history, loves her younger brother Bai Yi, and doesn't like vassal and elegant people. Although he did not marry Bai Yi, he was afraid that Min Zhi would not get married.
The third princess is named Yuyu, eleven years old, innocent and lively, with a pair of big watery eyes, no brothers and sisters have attainments in reading, and there is no person in her heart who expects her. The third princess should be the most suitable candidate, but she is a little younger, and Wen Xuan is very angry and sad when she thinks of marrying the military attache in her forties.
No one in the Crane Pavilion dared to say anything. Everyone calmed down, and they could only discuss the countermeasures tonight, if they didn't finalize it as soon as possible, they were really afraid that the Porphyri would lead the troops to start an incident, and the first city would capture Jinguo.
Zhou Li said, "Your Majesty, the three princesses have their own merits, and the country is beautiful." But the minister thought that the third princess was the most suitable. The eldest princess gave her fingertips to the second princess, and the second princess has a quiet temperament, and the third princess is the most suitable. Although she is a little younger, for the sake of the country of Jinguo, she can only grieve the third princess. Zhou Tai and Cao Si also agreed that it was most suitable for the third princess to go to harmony.
"It's late at night, so let's all step down. We'll talk about it again tomorrow morning. ”
"The minister retired. ”
After the three of them left, Wen Xuan burst into tears and was at a loss. After so many years of brother and sister relationship, it can't compete with the changes of the country. Marry his eleven-year-old sister to Porphyria. I also want to see the separation of mother and daughter, and I don't know when I will see my sister again. Wen Xuan began to think about whether he was a qualified king, whether he could only cut flowers and walk birds every day, enjoy the scenery of eternity, and did not have the ability to be a king.
After a long time, Gonggong Wei helped Wen Xuan back to the dormitory to rest.
This night, Wen Xuan was immersed in this sad reflection, and the tears kept flowing until the tears dried up. Never felt like the night was so long, never observed the night view so much. The reflection of the leaves on the window in the moonlight did not shine on oneself. Whether the golden luan phoenix tile around him will disappear one day. Thinking that all of this was due to the sudden death of his father and the fall to such a situation, Wen Xuan actually had a little resentment towards his father.
The next morning, Wen Xuan went to court as usual, but when Wen Xuan saw these eunuchs in front of him, did he also think in his heart that I was an incompetent faint king? Did he also secretly accumulate ill-gotten gains, and one day lead troops to cause trouble? Wen Xuan was so uneasy in the early court for the first time.
After the early dynasty, according to the agreement, Zhou Li, Zhou Tai, and Cao Si went to the Crane Pavilion to continue the discussion. Wen Xuan did a night's psychological construction, and his mood was a little calmer than yesterday.
Zhou Li proposed that "at noon, the emperor should visit the empress dowager and discuss with the empress dowager that the three princesses and their relatives should be married to the Epor, so as to quell the rebellion in the western region." ”
Thinking that the Queen Mother was going to separate from Xuanyu, Wen Xuan really couldn't bear it.
Wen Xuan walked towards the Empress Dowager's Yaochun Hall, feeling apprehensive in his heart.
Yaochun Hall takes the meaning of the beginning of spring, and Yao thinks that the light shines, auspicious and happy. It is a place where the queen mother worships the Buddha sincerely.
"The son greets the queen mother. Wen Xuan clasped his hands into fists and saluted. The queen mother hurriedly invited Wen Xuan to get up and gave him a seat.
After a few words of greeting, Wen Xuan shook his hand and said, "Queen Mother, my son came here this time to ask you about the mutiny in the western part of the country. The queen mother touched the parrot she raised and said, "What do you have a clue?" "The son didn't know that the military power in the west was monopolistic and easy to breed mutiny. ”
The queen mother shouted, "What! You let Xiu Yu go and kiss her! You are only eleven years old, she doesn't understand anything about the world, and she is still in the stage of ignorance, you actually let her go to quell the mutiny for you, I don't agree, you better send troops to fight and take the country back." ”
The queen mother was very angry, and saw that her brows were tightly knit, her cheekbones were prominent, and her purple lips were closed.
"It was the son who was stupid, and he didn't know that the west was prone to mutiny, and he had no defense. The son knows that it is unfilial piety to let the mother and daughter separate the mother and daughter siblings, but this is the most harmful move. Hope for the mother's permission. ”。
The queen mother tore her azalea silk scarf, but no matter how she tore it, it was difficult to eliminate the grief in her heart and her hatred of iron and steel. "As the emperor of Jinguo, what have you done these days? Looking at the batches and folds that An'an divides every day, and meeting with hundreds of civil and military officials, do you really know what their names, what positions, and what are their uses? As an emperor, you don't even know that military power is the important weapon of the country, although a country must rely on the development of spiritual civilization, but if it does not have military power, it is like a bird without feathers, and it cannot fly high if it wants to. ”
Wen Xuan's heart was even more uncomfortable, "Please teach the queen mother, my son has never had the intention of taking over before, my father died, the ministers have no leader, I will succeed to the throne temporarily, I really don't know how to be a good king." Wen Xuan's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes again.
