Chapter 159: Dance Workshop Interlude
Wang Zhen! Zhu Qiming looked indifferently and saw that there was no one around, and this place was just around the corner, surrounded by greenery, blocking all sides, but it was a hidden place.
"The Governor is not only the palm seal, but also the Admiral, the Admiral Dongchang, and then controls the Jinyi Guard, the main inner court and criminal law, known as the Inner Minister, why is he waiting for the king alone in this secluded place? How dare this king? He didn't want to call Wang Zhen "sir" with the emperor, and he didn't want to take the opportunity to step on Wang Zhen, call him "father-in-law", and call him "Dugong", which can be regarded as a compromise.
Wang Zhen raised his hand to invite Zhu Qiming, and the two turned into a secluded path and walked to a dense place in the forest. "Thanks to His Royal Highness, the Sprinkle family is now an idler, and in some time, I am afraid that there will be someone else in the inner minister!"
Zhu Qiming looked up above his head, and finally found the shadow of the sun through the gap between the branches and leaves, which was a dazzling and blurred cloud of light and shadow, swaying slightly due to the swaying of the treetops.
"The Governor thinks too highly of this king! Resentment only complains about the Duke himself, thinking that the internal and external ministers are the main conquest of Si Renfa, and the Duke is one of the loudest voices, but now the battle of Luchuan is not going well, the emperor is upset, and he will be angry with others, just afraid that the emperor will be uncomfortable when he sees the Governor, at this time, only Wu Long stays by the side of the Son of Heaven will make the Son of Heaven feel good, not to mention, Wu Long knows everything about the machine, and can solve the doubts and doubts of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven cannot do without Wulong at the moment. ”
The corners of Wang Zhen's mouth twitched slightly, "I don't know when those rotten people in the cabinet learned to play tricks, hum, they are vigorously lifting others and scattering their homes in the air, damn it!" ”
Wang Zhen unabashedly expresses his joy, anger and sorrow here, and he must have something to fear! Zhu Qiming pondered for a moment, and felt that all he could do was tell the truth.
"The emperor has been served and taught by the governor since he was a child, and that affection is far from being comparable to others. Now that there is Wulong, the cabinet has close contacts with the celebrants, and the monarchs and ministers of the court and the central government get along very well. However, in the future, if there is another major event in the court, the monarch and the ministers are out of harmony, and the emperor is difficult to control the ministers, he will think of the good coming of the governor, because only the governor can play for the Son of Heaven, and Wulong has no ability. Of course, before that, it depends on how far Wulong can go, in case Wulong stands out, no matter how much resentment the Duke has, it will be in vain! ”
Wang Zhen stared at him and was depressed for a long time, and finally his expression eased, "Your Highness, this is a taboo, it has been like this since ancient times." His Royal Highness must understand that in the eyes of the Son of Heaven, there is no one in the world who is unavailable, and all of them do not need to be guarded against, and there is no room for jokes in the great position of the society, and there can be no benevolence of women, otherwise, the slightest negligence may lead to chaos in the world and a river of blood! Frankly speaking, the Sprinkle family is also persuading the emperor to be on guard against His Royal Highness, but the Sprinkle family just follows common sense and acts quite measuredly, unlike some people who stir up trouble around the Son of Heaven and want to put His Highness in a situation from which he will never recover! ”
Could it be that Wulong put aside Xianxi Palace and fanned the flames directly in the emperor's ear? So, what about the emperor's thoughts? Zhu Qiming was shocked in his heart and didn't dare to think about it.
"Those who are clean are self-purifying, this king does not do bad things, why not be afraid of others stirring up trouble! This king is now just an idle king, and he doesn't want to get involved in the court affairs of the previous dynasty and the harem. Zhu Qiming walked towards the palace road.
"Wulong's background is intriguing, Your Highness must not ignore it!" Wang Zhen said urgently.
You Wang Zhen know that Wulong's background is complicated, so doesn't the emperor know? Zhu Qiming stopped, but did not look back, "Don't forget, the Son of Heaven is the co-master of the world, Tang Taizong even dared to reuse Wei Zheng back then, and now the emperor reuses Wulong, what's the matter!" This king said that the Qing is self-purifying, and this king can prove his innocence, and when the time comes, it is certain that Wulong will steal chickens, and as for whether it will erode the rice, this matter depends on the governor. ”
Back in the courtyard, Zhu Qiming's eyebrows were tightly locked, and he was silent in the main hall for a long time before calling Xiao Xizi and instructing: "Return to Yuefu quickly, ask Liang to command the envoy to take leave of the Governor's Mansion and the Military Department of the Five Armies, and take Yun Niang, as well as Yun Niang's and Ni Niang's families to leave Beijing and go to Lianggang's hometown to live in seclusion, just say that it is the meaning of this king." Liang Gang still has to go back to Beijing, Yun Niang and the others don't have to return it, the affairs of the house are handed over to Huang An, and Huang An is ordered not to enter the palace, you will stay in Yuefu after you go back. ”
"Huh?" Xiao Xizi exclaimed: "Your Highness, how can Commander Liang take leave?" ”
"He and Yun Niang are both big people, and sooner or later they will get married, and this matter can't be delayed any longer!"
"Yes. But······ But it's a small ······."
"Without further ado, don't be verbose! When you go back, you will find Ouyang Changshi as soon as possible, and say how the agreed matter is being done, and this king is urging. ”
"Yes!"
Xiao Xizi took the order and left, Zhu Qiming tried his best to calm his emotions, and only slowly came to the door of the study after clearing his distracting thoughts.
Saihan is still stroking the qin, and the sound of the piano is still not in tune, but the sound of mockery is no longer heard, and occasionally the beautiful sound of the piano is briefly sounded, which makes the heartstrings tremble.
Or stay in the study without worries, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the subset of classics and history can constitute an incomparably vast and free world! Zhu Qiming sighed and stepped into the study.
But seeing the sound of the piano, Saihan got up and greeted him, and put one hand on Zhu Qiming's arm again, glanced at Lu Xiyu on the side, and retracted it.
"Where have you been? I haven't seen you for a long time! Oh, I heard that I'm going to go outside to enjoy the dance, that's great! Let's go. ”
How can it be so fast! Zhu Qiming pursed his lips, walked to Lu Xiyu's side, and raised his eyes to look at He Ye, "The emperor has allowed to play, this king has thought about it and thought, let's go to Qixian Tower, it is famous." Ask He Sizan to contact all parties, first send someone to book a private room, He Sizan will accompany him, call two other chamberlains, and twenty guards to follow. Well, counting the hours, dinner can only be used in Qixian Tower. ”
After He Ye went out, Zhu Qiming cast an inquiring glance at Lu Xiyu, but saw Lu Xiyu shaking his head.
Lu Xiyu's refusal to accompany him is expected, how can the daughter of the official eunuch be in and out of that kind of place! It's just that King Yu can't go to Qixian Tower together, which must be a great regret for King Yu, and for him, King Yue, it's not as simple as regret!
Taking advantage of the cover of twilight, Zhu Qiming left ten guards to stand by in the lobby, and the rest wrapped Saihan in a secret room, and the other ten guards immediately resigned and entered the private room on the right hand, He Ye led the two attendants to the private room on the left hand, leaving Zhu Qiming and Saihan in the private room in the middle.
Saihan was in a very good mood, happily tasting the dishes full of cases, and frequently raised his glass and invited Zhu Qiming to drink with him. Zhu Qiming was depressed, just trying to fill his stomach mechanically, and occasionally turned his head to look at the stage outside the window.
The dance music of the dance workshop is not as elegant as the court dance, nor is it as primitive as the folk dance, it is mostly adapted from the dance scenes in the drama, and it is fashionable and beautiful.
The dancing girls of the Ming Dynasty are different from those women who sell jokes and do not sell their bodies in the near immortal residence, they belong more to the "peripheral women", but they are also the same as the women of Fengyue, often mixed in the scholars and eunuchs, at that time, the "banquet of wine" became a trend, and it is not difficult to see the figure of the dancing girl on the "banquet of wine" of Confucianism and even scholars, as the so-called "red makeup and black scarf purple intertwined", red makeup refers to the dancing girl or Fengyue woman, and the black scarf purple refers to Confucianism.
However, the fame of the dancing girl is often not as good as that of Fengyue women, think about the "Qin Huai Bayan" at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Dong Xiaowan, Liu Ruis, Chen Yuanyuan, and Li Xiangjun Which one is not famous in the world, so that a group of influential people can't keep their souls? It's hard for a dancing girl to be in the limelight.
Zhu Qiming looked absent-minded, and his cheeks puffed up slightly, "When I return, I want you to send me out!" ”
Zhu Qiming threw himself into the chop, with annoyance in his eyes, "There are countless internal and external officials in the Ming Dynasty, as well as female officials, why do you have to get along with me?" ”
"I'm the only one I know about you!" Saihan suddenly raised his voice several degrees.
"Five years ago, when you and I were young, we only had one side, and then we were separated, it seems a bit far-fetched to say that we know?"
Saihan threw his and pouted, "Who rarely knows you!" You don't know how nasty you are! I wanted to forget you after I went back, but the news came one after another, saying that you killed people in Pine Fort, killed people in Gulinji, and killed people in Longmen River, and there were always people talking about you in my ear, so that my ears could not be quiet, and I hated it! ”
"Won't you just cover your ears? Oh, where did you hear about me? ”
"Sir told me!" Saihan glared at Zhu Qiming and lowered his voice a little, "One day I will let you meet my brother······ My eldest brother is amazing! ”
What the man in the cape told her? How could that scheming fellow tell Saihan the detailed sources! Zhu Qiming was a little disappointed, he didn't want to have a senseless verbal dispute with Saihan, so he turned his head to look out the window, just as the dance music began.
There is a secret notification from the palace, Qi Xianlou naturally does not dare to slack off, needless to say, the graceful dance on the stage must be from Qi Xianlou's top brand. looked at it, and sure enough, it was vaguely that Pei Sanniang!
Pei Sanniang is more amorous than the dancer he saw in the Chunxi Palace, limited to a square inch of land, flipped and fluttered but seemed to open up a vast space, but seeing the long sleeves around the body, the slender waist is smart, and the gestures and occasional appearances are all just right to step on the node, and the slow alternating dance posture transforms into a charming harem beauty, and she talks to the night sky.
Upstairs and downstairs, apart from the sound of music, there was no noise anymore, and the black-pressed audience all stretched their necks and almost settled down. Turning to look at Saihan, I saw her stand up, and the brilliance in her eyes flashed.
Later generations of Zaifu Li Dongyang had a poem praising the dancing girl: "Wonderful tricks out of Qinzhong, slim waist to learn Chu Palace." The green curtain is low and the swallow is danced. The tactful songs are similar, but the Chanjuan state is different. There is no reason to escape the wine cloud, and the pulsatilla is annoyed. ”
"Is there a name for this dance?" Saihan stared intently at the dance in front of him and muttered.
Zhu Qiming knew that this dance was adapted from the miscellaneous dance in the middle of the drama "Tang Ming Emperor's Autumn Night Wutong Rain", which was completely different from the Tang Dynasty's "Neon Clothes and Feather Dance", but it was as interesting as Zhao Feiyan's palm dance, but he didn't know the name of the dance. "My Chinese music and dance are extremely exquisite, and you don't understand it."
Saihan didn't take it seriously, but said lightly: "Hmph, when I'm happy one day, maybe I'll dance a song to let you see the peerless dance of my prairie girl, and at that time, you will find how ridiculous your contempt is today!" ”
Can't even play the piano and still dance? Funny! Zhu Qiming secretly spit out a groan, and was about to squeeze Saihan for a few words, but he heard a commotion downstairs.
When I listened to it, I suddenly heard the sound of a staircase breaking underneath, and then there was a loud bang, and a stool was smashed to the ground.
The ten guards in the private room, He Ye and the others were nervous, and looked at Zhu Qiming in a daze.
"You escort her back to the palace quickly, and don't delay a little!"
Ten guards hurriedly wrapped Saihan out of the private room. Zhu Qiming ordered one chamberlain to stay, and the other chamberlain accompanied He Ye to withdraw with the guards.
Zhu Qiming followed the figure wrapped in Saihan and He Ye downstairs, and saw more than a dozen fierce strong men in brocade beating two young men, who fell to the ground desperately avoiding the fists and heels that rained down, shouting intermittently.
"I ······ Brother is the commander of Long Xiang's left guard, you ······ Daring! ”
"My father······ It is also ······ Commanding Envoys. ”
Hmph, a group of gentlemen are fighting here! Zhu Qiming shook his head, he didn't want to get involved in such a bad thing, so he immediately waved his hand at the ten guards who stayed in the hall and waited, and then wanted to get up and leave.
Suddenly, the key words in Lu Xi's rumors flashed in his mind, and there seemed to be no word "appreciation" in it, but only the five words "watch a good show"!
He pondered for a moment, then turned sharply, and saw that the dozen or so beaters looked at him from time to time as if to indicate something.
"Stop!"
Zhu Qiming shouted, and the chamberlain hurriedly said: "His Royal Highness King Yue is here, who is so bold!" ”
The dozen or so fierce brocade-clothed men rushed towards the door when they heard the sound, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
Glancing at the two guys who were not lightly injured, and sighing, Zhu Qiming said to the old man who looked like the proprietor on the side: "The two are seriously injured, send them back to their homes for treatment." ”
