Chapter 303: The piano sound breaks again
Zhang Qinyan was obviously sent in by Liu Jie, and Han Ruzi was dissatisfied, he didn't want a eunuch to interfere in his life, which reminded him of his past experience as a puppet in the palace. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
He was ready to kick Zhang Qinyan out, but that gaze made him hesitate.
As before, Zhang Qinyan still lowered her head, and when she looked at the emperor, she just held back in a hurry, her eyes were full of nervousness and reserveβshe couldn't speak, so she had to ask in this way: Did she do something wrong? Is it possible to stay? Is it possible to start stroking......
Han Ruzi's heart softened, anyone who saw such a gaze would be soft-hearted, no matter how Liu Jie did her own thing, she was innocent, she sat on the emperor's bed hard, carefully motionless, for fear of crumpling a little quilt, and driving her out at this time would make her ashamed and embarrassed......
Zhang Youcai and Loach glanced at each other, then at Zhang Qinyan, and finally at the emperor at the same time.
Han Ruzi sat on a chair under the window and said, "The empty music song is played by two people? β
Zhang Qinyan on the bed nodded, his fingers gently plucking the strings.
Zhang Youcai and Loach retreated to the emperor's side, one left and one right, Zhang Youcai was a little vigilant, but Loach was full of interest.
The sound of the piano in the house was slightly louder than that coming from the next door, and they answered each other, as if the host was inviting a shy guest, who hesitated several times and finally accepted the invitation.
The sound of the piano has changed so far, and it was relatively flat before, Han Ruzi just felt comfortable, but at this time, there was the joy and joy of close people reuniting after a long absence.
He wondered, why did it feel so different when it was still the same empty song?
The woman on the bed flew another glance, and Han Ruzi's heart moved, it was a more direct invitation than the sound of the qin, inviting the emperor to put aside his doubts and thoughts and concentrate on accepting the guidance of the sound of the qin.
Han Ruzi nodded his head imperceptibly, he didn't even notice it, his right elbow was on the armrest, his body leaned slightly, his fingers supported his sideburns, and he listened attentively.
A thought was put down, more thoughts came up, Han Ruzi almost immediately thought of the queen Cui Xiaojun, the two got together less and left more, and only spent a stable time in the Tihou Mansion, at that time she raised chickens and ducklings, and he traveled around the capital to buy gadgets, but unfortunately at that time he was incomprehensible, and was only satisfied with the gaze when he opened his eyes in the early morning, the unintentional touch, and the bold and confused kiss......
When he understood that the relationship between men and women had more meanings, he had to embark on the journey frequently, and missed the queen in the Jin Ge Iron Horse.
The empty music song will not make people regret, Han Ruzi knows that he will return to the capital sooner or later, there is no need to fight in the south and the north, and he will stay with the queen for a long time, and every fragment of the memory is full of warmth, which makes the corners of his mouth involuntarily turn up, revealing a smile.
The loach was also smiling, or rather giggling, I don't know what he remembered, it was not the sound of the piano that attracted him, but the occasional anticipation of the woman on the bed.
Zhang Youcai was indifferent, and became more and more vigilant, when he saw that the emperor and the loach's behavior were a little rude, he couldn't help the emperor, but he didn't have to be polite to the loach, looked left and right, gently picked up an ivory Ruyi from the table, quietly reached out from behind the emperor, and quickly poked it on the loach's cheek.
Loach was startled, turned his head to look at Zhang Youcai, his expression was very dissatisfied, but then he was no longer so obsessed, and even yawned, once he was not interested in Zhang Qinyan, he was just a sleepy teenager.
Han Ruzi didn't notice anything, his memories changed, what he saw was no longer Queen Cui Xiaojun, and inexplicably turned into a golden chuiduo that he hadn't seen for a long time, which was completely different from the gentle queen, Jin Chuiduo always looked vigilant and annoyed, but she looked pitiful, her strength was disguised, like the shell of a nut, waiting to be knocked open, revealing the sweet nuts inside......
Han Ruzi was taken aback, feeling that he shouldn't have this kind of thought.
Zhang Qinyan glanced at it again, this time he looked at the emperor for a little longer, and there was no initial nervousness and reserve in his eyes, but a just right encouragement, encouraging the emperor to be bolder and more relaxed.
Can't the emperor do whatever he wants? Han Ruzi knew that he couldn't yet, but within a certain range, he really didn't need to accept any restraints.
But Han Ruzi still couldn't completely relax, and the image of the queen popped up from time to time, silently accusing with a smile.
The sound of the piano became more and more tactful, like two friends who had known each other for many years, and persuaded the emperor not to be so restrained with a kind mockery.
The sound of the piano almost succeeded, but at this moment, there was a sudden commotion outside the house, mixed with a thudding sound, which not only disrupted the sound of the piano, but also made the emperor wake up from a dream.
"Check it out."
The loach stayed, and Zhang Youcai immediately went outside the house to check the situation.
The woman on the bed stopped stroking, and the sound of the piano next door disappeared.
Zhang Youcai came back quickly, "It's Meng E, I don't know what's wrong, I desperately slapped the door, saying that I wanted to see ...... Your Majesty. β
Meng E was "imprisoned" in the same courtyard, because the emperor personally demanded that there be no torture instruments such as shackles on her body, and she could move freely in the house.
Thinking of Meng E, Han Ruzi came to his senses completely, "By the way, there are some things I haven't asked clearly. Said to Zhang Youcai: "Send her back to the room." β
"Yes, Your Majesty."
As soon as Han Ruzi walked out of the room, he ran into Liu Jie, the central supervisor, and pointed to the house, "Liu Gong's idea?" β
"The old luthier said that the sound of the piano is different from far and near, and each has its own effect, so I ......"
Han Ruzi looked at the east wing, where a group of guards gathered, "Lead the way, I want to see Meng E." β
"Your Majesty, never!" Liu Jie stood in front of the emperor and left the female guards in the same courtyard as the emperor, which was already inappropriate, but fortunately, there were many guards, and he was not afraid of what she would do, but once the emperor approached her, it would be difficult to control things.
"I'm talking to her outside the door, she's not going to stab her through the wall, is she?"
Liu Jie thought for a while, nodded reluctantly, led the emperor, and walked down the corridor to the door of a room in the east wing.
The people inside were still banging on the door, Han Ruzi motioned for the guards to retreat, and Liu Jie said, "Miss Meng, Your Majesty has come to see you." β
The slapping stopped, and Meng E's voice asked, "Your Majesty has sent troops to the northern frontier?" β
"I want to go to the northern frontier in person, and I will leave early tomorrow morning." Han Ruzi said.
Meng E was silent.
Han Ruzi motioned for Liu Jie and the guards to all retreat, he didn't need protection.
Liu Jie checked it carefully, and after confirming that the door was locked, he whispered, "We are all opposite, on call." β
Han Ruzi nodded, and watched Liu Jie and the others walk to the west wing, just as Zhang Youcai and Loach sent Zhang Qinyan back to the other room in the east wing, Zhang Qinyan held the qin in his arms, always hanging his head, and his footsteps were silent.
"Your Majesty has a lot to worry about." Meng E suddenly spoke.
After Han Ruzi watched Zhang Youcai and Loach walk away, he said, "There are more things that make me wonder. β
"I owe your majesty an explanation, but I have to ask a few things first."
"Just ask."
"After I reminded you, has Your Majesty practiced internal skills again?"
"No, but sometimes I can't help but breathe according to the internal exercises."
"As long as you don't deliberately cultivate."
"What's wrong, is it dangerous?"
"Your Majesty's internal strength is close to the next stage, I need to prepare some pills to assist, there are still a few important materials missing, before the medicine is completed, Your Majesty should not practice in the end."
"Okay." Han Ruzi felt that Meng E was lying, but she didn't ask.
"How many soldiers did Your Majesty bring with you in the northern frontier?"
"More than 2,000 people, and 50,000 Northern troops will join me on the road."
"Too little, the Huns will pour out their nests."
"I don't want to fight with the Huns yet, just to prevent the Huns from entering the customs, and if possible, I will continue peace talks with Da Danyu, and Da Chu needs at least three years of recuperation."
Meng E was silent for a while, and then said, "Your Majesty once said to me that bluffing is the art of the emperor. β
"Really?"
"Your Majesty said, I remember clearly, Da Dan Yu is bluffing, he doesn't want peace talks at all, the reason why he withdrew last year is because the East and West Xiongnu have just merged, there are many contradictions, and they need to be bridged as soon as possible, after a winter, this is no longer a big problem. Da Shan Yu wanted to enter the customs, he thought that only by relying on the walls of Da Chu could he stop the strong enemy in the west. β
"You suddenly know so much about Da Danyu?"
"The person who negotiated with Da Shan Yu told me this, Yishi Island is willing to give up half of Da Chu, Your Majesty can't do this, and you can't please Da Shan Yu."
"It's always easy to give up what you don't own, but it's also hard to achieve, I will let Yishi Island and Da Dan Yu understand that the transaction between them is just illusory, and if the Huns want to get the protection of Da Chu, they will stay outside the fortress honestly."
Meng E sighed lightly, "My words are all over, Your Majesty asks." β
Han Ruzi was puzzled, but when he really wanted to speak, he found that there was nothing to ask, "What's going on with Baoxi?" β
"I'm sorry, that night, as soon as I got out of the city gate, I was chased by my brother, he asked me to hand over the treasure seal, I didn't agree, but I was not his opponent, so I had to flee all the way, I couldn't go west to see Your Majesty, I could only go east, I wanted to use the protection of the general Han Xing, but unfortunately it was a step late."
"Meng Che killed Han Xing?"
"No, my brother's people have been tracking my whereabouts, and the person who assassinated the general is from Yunmengze, and I have seen them in the East China Sea Kingdom and Linzi City."
"Holy Army?"
"That's right, it's this person, and the alliance between Yishi Island, Buyeo and the Huns was also promoted by him."
There was no trace of the Holy Army Division in Luoyang City, so Han Ruzi guessed that this person was likely to have fled to the East China Sea Kingdom, and the so-called "Dang Shot" in Luoyang was just a false shot.
"In this way, the Holy Army Master has been planning for a long time. And then? You transferred the treasure seal to the ugly king of Luoyang? β
"Well, after the assassination of the general, I can't go west, I can only continue to flee east, in Luoyang, I really have no way to escape, I have heard that the ugly king has everything he wants, he is a real hero, so ...... I heard that he used the treasure seal to make a bet with His Majesty? β
"You see that people are very accurate, the ugly king lives up to his trust, and he is indeed worthy of the word 'chivalry'. Then you went back to the East China Sea with Meng Che, and he didn't ask about Baoxi's whereabouts? β
"I told him that I had already hidden the treasure seal, and if I could really defeat the Chu army, I would give the treasure seal to him. Later, when the news of Baoxi's appearance in Luoyang came, I immediately fled from Linzi City, hid everywhere for a while, and came to see Your Majesty yesterday. β
To outsiders, there are many loopholes in Meng E's words, but Han Ruzi prefers to believe it, and there is only one question left in his heart, "You...... Why come back? β
"Because I have made an agreement with Your Majesty, I will protect your safety, and you will help me restore the country, it will still work, right?"
Han Ruzi laughed, did not answer, turned around and walked away, although the emperor should not believe it and make a decision immediately, but there are some things that he must think about carefully.
Meng E knew that the emperor was walking away, and was silent again.
Han Ruzi had just entered the bedroom, and the old pianist Zhang Zhuhe walked out of another room in the east wing, came to Meng E's door in a few steps, and said in a low voice: "The well water does not interfere with the river water, don't get in the way of our business." β
Meng E didn't respond, she knew that she hadn't fully gained the emperor's trust when she went and returned, so she could only hide some things for the time being.
Zhang Zhuhe knocked lightly on the door and hurried away. (To be continued.) )
