Chapter 11 Jin Gonggong
"Qi Yue, come and see Gonggong Jin, the celebrant of ceremonies." King Yue naturally has the grace of a prince, when he called his son to come forward to salute, the soft tone eliminated some uneasiness in his son's heart, and the warm look made Jin Yingdunsheng feel as intimate as a spring breeze.
"The eunuch Jin Ying has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." Jin Ying preemptively left her seat to salute, and her gestures revealed a strong palace atmosphere, strict and elegant.
"Hello Father-in-law Kim." The small body bowed deeply, showing full of respect, which moved Jin Ying.
"His Royal Highness the Prince treats the corporal so politely, he will have a sea-like mind in the future, and his life's deeds can not be described by the word 'prodigy'!" Under Jin Ying's admiration, there was only a light smile on his face, which made him very calm and restrained.
"Father-in-law Jin praised. Qi Yue, let's play, don't go far. "Compared with Jin Ying, King Yue's cultivation is not far behind.
One step ahead of the little prince were the five "guest teachers" who looked depressed. Hesitating on the secluded path of the bamboo forest, their faces were extremely lonely, as if they had just experienced the most significant setback in their lives, worse than the famous Sun Mountain back then.
"Song and Liao have been fighting for twenty-five years, half of the country is in disarray, the people's livelihood is withering, the people are miserable, the Great Song Dynasty really can't hold on, who doesn't think about peace?" The astonishing reversal of the position of the previous companion was a shocking sensation.
"Yes, everyone knows that 'harmony is precious', but where does 'harmony' come from? We must finally stop fighting! If it weren't for the Son of Heaven patrolling the border, the three armies would have been killed, and the Khitans would not have been able to hold on, and the contract of the Lanyuan Alliance would have been categorically unbegging. The Bin Fu also reversed his previous position.
"Dare to fight to be able to make peace, war and peace, one and the same, a seven-year-old child still knows this reason, but we are opposing it, either one or the other, it is really ridiculous!"
The five shook their heads and waved their hands, and left in frustration.
The voices faded away, and the sound of the piano suddenly rose.
In the depths of the bamboo forest, I don't know who strokes the qin. The artistic conception of the song "Autumn Moon Shines on the Mao Pavilion" is far away, and the beautiful and distant piano sound spreads out, as if it wants to spread the meaning of the song to the four wildernesses.
The sound of the piano is transformed into an image: all the sounds are silent, the autumn moon is shining, the mountain masters, sitting alone in the thatched pavilion, thinking about the past and the present, and forgetting the things and me.
Jin Ying slowly lifted the lid of the lamp, closed her eyes and sniffed lightly, wisps of tea, bamboo, and books entered her heart, and what lingered in her ears was the sound of the ancient times.
"It's a worldly hospital, it's really an elegant place to cultivate your heart! It's a pity that His Royal Highness's identity is extraordinary, and he can't be an outsider after all. Jin Ying opened her eyes slowly, and there was a hint of deep meaning in her eyes.
Yue Wang Fang raised the cup close to his lips, and after hearing the words, he removed the teacup, "This king can't share worries for the king, and he can't solve problems for the people, and he has been treated well all his life, and there is no way to repay." Living in a simple place and disturbing the people less is nothing more than doing what you can. ”
Jin Ying smiled slightly, leaned his ears to listen to the sound of the piano, and after a while, said quietly: "The strange thing that happened in the Yue Wangfu that night has reached the ears of the Empress Dowager, and the Empress Dowager sat silently after hearing the news, and did not say a word for an hour. ”
King Yue frowned slightly, and then smiled, "It's just a rat run by a small person, please return to the Empress Dowager, don't worry about it." ”
"I hope so." Jin Ying raised the lamp and sipped lightly, but her eyes were condensed, as if she was savoring the meaning of King Yue's words.
Outside the door, Zhu Qiyue was chasing a colorful butterfly, and he missed it repeatedly, so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
King Yue glanced at it, shook his head, and chuckled: "Still naughty!" ”
Jin Ying also smiled, "The prince is young, and he is by nature. If the prince had grown up at a young age, it would have been astonishing. ”
So the two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the room was more harmonious.
Thinking that Fang Cai's words were too perfunctory, King Yue's eyes showed a slight apology. "The matter of that night has been reported to Shuntianfu for investigation, and the circumstances of the case are still to be concluded by Shuntianfu."
Jin Ying's expression was indifferent, "Although things are weird, they seem to be ordinary, don't say Your Highness, even the Empress Dowager has to remain silent." In the future, once the prince comes of age, his views on this matter may be different from that of His Royal Highness. ”
King Yue was silent, raising his eyes and looking out of the door.
The beautiful sound of the piano flowed like a clear spring, and the distant meaning was all in the trickling whisper, which attracted Jin Ying to close her eyes and listen again.
The sound of the piano gradually stopped, the wind and bamboo were noisy, ushering in a pure natural interlude.
"The Empress Dowager has heard about the two palaces to give rewards, although the Empress Dowager has praise for the prince, but she is not surprised, the Empress Dowager said······· I want to see the wisdom of the prince more than the smallness. Jin Ying opened her eyes and looked out the door, a few feet away, Zhu Qiyue was still chasing the colorful butterfly and entered the Huanqiu Pavilion by the pool.
"So, the Empress Dowager and her father-in-law came to inspect and give it a try?" King Yue was unmoved, as if everything was expected.
"Yes, I don't understand the social plan, but the five great Confucian scholars around His Royal Highness seem to be extremely depressed, so His Royal Highness the Prince's insight must be extraordinary."
King Yue was slightly stunned for a moment, and his raised right hand was slowly put down. "He's still a kid!"
"Because it is a child, the extraordinary insight is enough to comfort the heart of the Queen Mother. The Empress Dowager knows what kind of people Sheji urgently needs, and she also knows how to cultivate such people, and she doesn't want more corrupt people in the world. It's just that the prince has to suffer! Jin Ying raised the lamp to sip, and noticed that the tea was cold, so he quietly returned to the case.
"Come on, serve tea!" King Yue's command sounded at the right time.
Two half-grown maidens dressed in elegant clothes entered, removed the old cups, and offered new tea. All this was done silently, even their snorts seemed to be closed, and when they retreated, their steps were light, leaving no light sound.
King Yue left his seat and stood solemnly by the door, staring at the Huanqiu Pavilion by the pool, looking for his son.
Jin Ying got up and came to King Yue's side, "The Empress Dowager intends to appoint Lu Xi, a member of the Ministry of Rites, to serve as the prince's western seat. ”
King Yue threw a questioning glance sideways, and then turned to look at Huanqiuxie.
"People in the world have prejudices about the origin of their teachers, and they all think that 'famous teachers produce high apprentices'. The Empress Dowager appointed a famous teacher to the prince, and what she cared about was the future teacher's reputation. Nowadays, several Shu Ji Shi of the Hanlin Academy are lecturing for the emperor and the king of Yu, and Lu Xi is the first Jinshi and the first, not inferior to the Shu Jishi. Jin Ying followed King Yue's gaze to the edge of the pool, but his mouth was not idle.
King Yue nodded lightly, and after a long time, his face was relieved.
Suddenly, on the side of Huanqiuxue, Zhu Qiyue, who was standing on the railing, stepped into the air and fell on his back.
King Yue and Jin Ying's faces turned cold at the same time, and their bodies froze like sculptures.
Before the exclamations of the two could be spoken, a stout man not far away swept lightly across the water, one hand almost touching the surface of the water to support the prince at the right time, and when the prince turned his head to look at the comer, his face was full of bright smiles, and there was not the slightest panic.
When the prince was brought back to Huanqiu Pavilion by that man, Jin Ying breathed a sigh of relief, "Good skills!" Your Highness, who is this person? ”
King Yue's face was also softened, "The youngest junior brother of the head of the Jiuhua faction, Liang Gang, the martial artist of Qi Yue. One day five years ago, the king went to Baiyunguan to pray for blessings, and met Liang Gang, who was seriously injured and dying, and after asking about his origin, he took him back to the house for medical treatment, saving his life. ”
Jin Ying sighed quietly: "Now the empress dowager can rest assured, there should be such a person by the prince's side!" ”
