Chen Yuanyuan was halfway through singing, and suddenly stopped, tears streaming down his face.

Everyone in the private room was also moved, and they were all deeply moved by the sadness of this song. Yang Sichang couldn't help but praise the festival: "This song of the round girl is like crying and complaining, the voice is sad, the words are blood and tears, and the world is desolate!" But I don't know what the name of this song is, and who composed it? ”

Chen Yuanyuan stopped crying and reluctantly smiled: "This song is called "Funeral Flower Yin", the score is matched by the slave family, but the lyrics are passed down orally by a son. Because the boy was in a hurry, the slave family only listened to the first half of the rhyme, so the music was only composed here. ”

"Oh?" Yang Sichang was very interested, "I don't know who this son's surname is?" I can't believe that there is such a talent in the world! Si Chang usually likes to sing the wind and the moon, but compared with this half of "Funeral Flowers", it is all stupid! ”

"This son's surname is You." Chen Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but gradually dimmed, "He said to the slave family that day that this word was written by a person named Cao Xueqin. At that time, the slave family believed it, but after many inquiries, no one had ever heard of the name 'Cao Xueqin'! I think You Gongzi deliberately deceived the slave family, this word was originally made by him, but he didn't want to say it to the slave family. ”

As she spoke, she suddenly turned to Li Zicheng, who had been silent, her eyes flashed with infinite expectations, and she smiled and said: "Li Gongzi, the slave family also had a relationship with you, but somehow, today you are always dodging the slave family?" If the slave family is not mistaken, you and that You Gongzi are acquaintances, right? ”

Li Zicheng was speechless and extremely embarrassed. As a party concerned, of course he knows about the past between Zhu Youzhen and Chen Yuanyuan. But he didn't expect Chen Yuanyuan to miss Zhu Youzhen, and all he played was the tunes that Zhu Youzhen taught her. It seems that she came to Xi'an this time, I'm afraid it's not all for worshipping the Buddha, but more likely to get some news, and maybe she came here to look for "You Gongzi"!

He traveled south and north to see a lot of knowledge, how could he not see that Chen Yuanyuan had a secret affection for Zhu Youzhen. But Zhu Youzhen's identity is both noble and special, how dare he easily reveal it. Not to mention Chen Yuanyuan, it is his father Li Henian, and he still doesn't know that the "You Gang Master" is His Royal Highness King Qin.

Therefore, he had to say perfunctorily: "Back to Miss Chen's words, the villain and You Gongzi are only general friends. That You Gongzi traveled all over the world, his whereabouts were erratic, and since Tongzhou was goodbye, the villain never received any news from You Gongzi. ”

Chen Yuanyuan was disappointed when he heard this, lowered his head and thought silently, refusing to participate in everyone's feast anymore.

Zhu Youzhen saw it clearly, and he felt pity for a while, and really wanted to take this thin-lived woman into his arms and comfort her. But one thing he knows is that he can't reveal his identity now, otherwise all the major matters discussed today will be smashed; The second "Funeral Flower Yin" is indeed made by Cao Xueqin, but Chen Yuanyuan firmly believes that it is from his own hand, and Zhu Youzhen really feels guilty!

But at this time, everyone is drunk, who will really pay attention to the thoughts of a woman in a green building, even if this woman is Chen Yuanyuan, who is famous all over the world!

Like Qiao Beiyue, Li Hu and others, what they care about is nothing more than the price and public sentiment in various places, and in the final analysis, it is to make more money. The prefect Ding Qirui and others are talking about the situation and current affairs. But they don't have any real insight, they just chat and fart, and kill time. After talking about the war situation in Liaodong and the troubles in Haijiang, the topic naturally turned to the Shaanxi thieves.

Because Yang Sichang is the son of Yang He, the governor of the three sides, and Yang He is now busy pacifying a large group of thieves, including Ding Qirui, no one dares to comment on it, and they all listen to Yang Sichang's discussions. Secretly thinking that as the saying goes, fighting tigers and brothers, going into battle with father and son, Yang He advocated appeasement, and his son Yang Sichang must also be consistent with his father.

Unexpectedly, Yang Sichang sighed and said: "When the students were in Nanjing, they were quite concerned about the Shaanxi thieves. Before coming to Shaanxi, the students, like their fathers, felt that the thieves were all the people of the Ming Dynasty, and they were forced to erect anti-flags because of the frequent natural disasters. As long as they sincerely appease and give them a way to live, they will be grateful for the emperor's grace, and they will be caressed with peace of mind, and there will be no more chaos. ”

"But after arriving in Shaanxi, I found out that the students were very wrong!" Yang Sichang took a sip of tea and said unhurriedly, "Where the thieves passed, the lives were ruined, and the people were coerced by the victims. The thieves do not produce, they specialize in destruction, although their combat power is not as good as that of Jianyu, but they can cause far more trouble than Jianyu! Local officials were either afraid of being punished by the imperial court, so they deliberately concealed it and did not report it; Either beggar-thy-neighbor but seek self-preservation. In the long run, the thief will become more powerful. If the Ming Dynasty dies, he will die as a thief! ”

Everyone was horrified when they heard it, and Ding Qirui reluctantly smiled: "Yang Gongzi is probably a little alarmist." Forgive a little thief, it's just a disease of ringworm and scabies, and An can shake the foundation of my Daming. Besides, isn't Lord Ling Zun appeasing the thieves and quite effective? ”

Yang Sichang frowned and muttered: "Although the thieves started from the poor, their leaders are all people who are capricious and self-interested, and do not care about the lives of others. The father of the family is mainly carrying, and I am afraid it will be difficult to achieve results. Besides, it takes silver to pacify, and now that the treasury is empty, and Liaodong is in danger, how can the imperial court have the energy to look west? Students are only afraid of thieves, and their fathers can't help thieves, but they suffer from it! The students have also told their fathers many times about the benefits and disadvantages; However, my father is benevolent by nature, but I don't believe it!

"As for what Master Ding said about 'ringworm scabies', the students did not dare to agree. The power of the thief lies in the word 'flow'. They wandered around, today in Shaanxi, tomorrow in Henan, and the day after tomorrow in Huguang and Sichuan. Maybe it can still be regarded as a disease of ringworm and scabies, but if the court allows it to develop, it will evolve into a festering sore all over the body, and it will eventually be out of control! ”

Zhu Youzhen listened carefully and secretly admired. Although Yang Sichang is also one of the princes, he is completely different from the fart, and he is really a talent who helps the world. Not to mention anything else, in terms of this knowledge, he is much stronger than his father Yang He.

Ding Qirui was a little unimpressed, and it was not good to refute Yang Sichang in person, so he had to ask wistfully: "Then according to the son's opinion, how to deal with the thieves?" ”

Yang Sichang said confidently: "In the humble opinion of the students, the combat effectiveness of the thieves is not very strong, and the reason why they have succeeded repeatedly is because the imperial court has not coordinated the attack, and the prefectures, cities, and counties are fighting for their own battles, like a plate of scattered sand. If you want to completely extinguish the thieves, it is not difficult to say, you only need to have four corners and six corners, and ten sides of the net..."

As soon as he said this, there was a sudden noise outside the private room, and then the door was pushed open, Qi Meifeng hurriedly broke in, ignored everyone, and said directly to "Han Zhen": "Son, Madame is unwell!" ”
