Before you know it, it will be the last month of the year, which is the time for the sacrifice in the Luo Wei Palace and the folk watching the lanterns. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the North Political Office is full of flowers and candles, the moon is shining, the yarn lamp is new, and a group of small people who have newly changed the black cut velvet coral hat are busy in the courtyard. Dried fish and bacon prepared for the samurai at home, long clothes and short jackets; the golden tripod jade pot prepared for the retainers' communication, and the colored satin knife; The New Year's gifts prepared for the upper and lower ladies, jade paper and skirts, are all handled by the lady of the North Political Institute.

I am comfortable in my own room to play a Luo Wei lyre, this piano phoenix-shaped shark tail, the strings are relaxed, and the new Yue qin music playing the palace Shangjiao Zhengyu way has a secret harmony, a little pondering, the piano score is not very difficult to understand, so I let the tea fairy to borrow a pipa to pick the harmony, and gradually learn the "by" and "press" of various techniques.

After more than ten days, you can play Luo Wei's imitation of Tang Zhi's "Song of Long Hatred" and the song "Gao Miao Song" that expresses the tragic love between Emperor Tang Ming and Yang Guifei. The plum blossoms in front of the court are gradually blooming, and the flower letters are also in bud, and the snow clouds are blurry from time to time.

Because Prince Qing had a very close relationship with the Kang Xiu family, and he was ordered to choose the neat and handsome families of the samurai nobles, and to be the temple boys of the gods and witches dance art students of the grand event, he often came to the Beizheng courtyard, and also taught me the way of music from time to time.

I thought about it, thinking that it was the inheritance of the line of concubines of Yodohime and Princess Omi that was in full swing as General Yasuhide was seriously ill, and this northern government courtyard became a place where the Tokugawa family cultivated their own forces and prepared to make arrangements.

I stayed out of the matter, no one came to ask me to consult, and I only occasionally talked about one or two things with the tea fairy when he was tuning the piano.

"The way of repairing the piano, where the four seasons change, the technique and adapt to the cold and warm changes of the season, there are 47 kinds, tuning the piano is like adjusting the soldiers, thick and fine." The tea fairy stood by the plum, reflecting the moonlight and snow, and said to me with a hat.

"I understand," I nodded and looked at her, opened the navy blue bag covering the piano and the lute, took the one and handed it to her, brushed the snow off the stone bench, put two thick futons on it, and whispered in her ear as she sat down with a smile, "I understand the discussion at the three gates of the West Corner Gate." ”

"Thank you" The corners of her mouth showed a slight smile, and her black hair in a bun outlined a cold and beautiful outline through the moonlight, with a touch of mournful color, which made people feel pity.

I saw her pick up the pipa, and then approached my side and said, "This matter is dangerous, do you need help?" This time, she used Chinese that she had never used before.

A boulder fell to the ground in my heart, and I was sure that I had guessed the true meaning of the sentence "The three gates of the West Corner Gate at the third quarter of the child's time", so I was relieved, and continued to joke with her in the Japanese language, "It's cold today, drink a glass of warm wine, and we won't play it anymore, just talk about the "Dream" and repeat it, and pop up some magnificent style. ”

She smiled and nodded, the sound of the pipa plucking was like a cracked silk, the four strings were lined up, and the slow twist seemed to be at the bottom of the ancient well without waves, and the bamboo poles of the hundred knots were slight, and the hurricane swept by, frightening the night wind.

I secretly praised the sentence "The spirit of women is the only way to have this potential", but I didn't say anything, my heart was full of the stars and wind last night, the east of Guitang on the west side of the painting building, the sudden time when I first met Qin Qing, the glance of ten thousand years when I was assassinated in Weiyu City, the happiness of adding fragrance to the red sleeves in the clear snow, the rolling pin when I got married, and the anxiety and sadness that I don't know the situation now......

The heart that has never been expressed in ordinary times is sent out with the lyre in his hand with the half-baked Luo Wei music style, and cooperates with the bewitching pipa music, like two spiritual creatures dancing up and down, jumping on the side of the wing.

"It's as good as the drum and piano, lingering and parting," the tea fairy glanced at me, and chanted while playing the pipa.

I smiled understandingly, and also sank into the sound of the tea fairy to listen to the hidden wit in the brilliant sound of the sparks, "The ancients were famous and the heart was faint, how could Jiang Guan regain immortality." The piano head is endless, and people are puzzled, and it is said that Xu will be a minister. ”

Her cloak was tied with a red double-flying sweat scarf with a colorful silk silk and a Yunshan Runyu pendant with a cloud dragon gluttonous pattern was blown away from the robe by the wind, but she seemed to be immersed in the tune, did not raise her head, only closed her eyes and felt the wind. The sound of the pipa became deep and long, slowly like a waterfall flowing into a clear spring, and the sparseness after rushing gradually opened away.

"It's good to play the piano, and look forward to it leisurely." She looked up, looked at me again, and said.

As he spoke, there was a loud noise, and the strings in his hand were broken.

The sound of clogs rustling on the snow came, and we could only hear a soft and gentle voice of Kyoto Rawa floating to us, "The two of you are so elegant, but as the ancient book says, what about the Bo Yazi period." ”

When I looked up and turned to look, I saw a middle-aged woman wearing a double-embossed red crane embroidered coat, a white-faced Han clinic undershirt, a lilac brocade brocade shirt, a pleated skirt covered with Beiming Ayaluo, and a celadon cloak hood, sitting on a small sedan chair, accompanied by two lilac splendid turpentine clothes, each with a girl with a withered branch of reeds pinned to her head, and behind her was a samurai with a sword who lined up two teams and raised flags.

The tea fairy behind him had already bowed down to worship, I saw this big gift, I expected that this must be Mrs. Beizheng herself, and when she got off the sedan chair, she also stepped forward to salute with her fists.

She smiled, her face slightly puffy, her figure was fat, and only a pair of eyes were full of fierce light. The silver thread on the head is very natural, and there is no black hair cream, the bun is chic, and there is a tender agarwood hoop comb on it, and there are no other flowers.

"I've been here for many days, so why don't you come to see you?" She smiled and turned around, motioning for the samurai beside her to lead me in the direction of her walk.

"Because I saw that the house was busy, I didn't dare to make a trip." I walked along and returned.

"Beiming is an ancient saying, you must say hello first when you are a guest, why did Mr. act so unexpectedly?" She said in a serious and provocative tone as she walked.

"He who does great things, no matter how small." I was stopped by her meaningless inquiry and stubborn etiquette, and I had to pull it up.

Walking through the pond, there is no freezing, the moonlight is sprinkled on it, and the scenery with a thin layer of snow falling outside the pond adds a bit of chill.

Went around to the main hall, and the maid on the side served her to take off her cloak and high shoes, stepped on the mat with only two gold-rimmed silk socks, sat down on one side of the two columns of screens hanging with gold and color embroidery, and pointed to the other side and raised her hand to me, "Mr. Jing, please." ”

I nodded in a polite gesture and slipped my shoes onto the mat and sat down on the other side.

The samurai on both sides pushed the door hinge with a bang, and the hall was suddenly silent.

I looked to the sides, the paper partition in the room was removed, but everywhere was covered with curtains, and the central monarch was deliberately set aside according to the male dignity and inferiority of the ancient meaning of Luo Wei, and the slightly fat body of the lady of the North Politics only knelt straight and sat on the side of the lord. The interior is covered with a mattress, a row of agarwood shelves on the east side visits various dark vessels, and on the west side of the head is a row of bamboo books with gold silk embroidered ribbons.

Mrs. Beizheng kept her face calm, and after a long time, Fang said, "Little nephew Hayakawa Kotokusa, it is rumored that he was killed by Mr., but is there such a thing?" ”

Cao Qin's delicate and sick face, which I hadn't thought of for a long time, appeared in front of me, and I looked at the swollen Mrs. Beizheng in front of me, and couldn't help shaking my head.

"Definitely. I have no grudge against Hayakawa-kun, and he has already surrendered to my eldest princess, what reason do I have to kill him? I pursed my lips and smiled, "It's you Luo Wei people, you Luo Wei people, you can't say how to kill your mouth." ”

"Nonsense." Mrs. Beizheng's face did not move, but her tone was extremely cold and piercing. There was a trace of blood on the Juanpa in front of my hand, and everything was in my eyes.

"Ninjas live to die, and death is light, isn't that what you preach and expect? Mrs. Fei You entrusted Cao Qin - Ah No, your Hayakawa Kotokusa, went to our country to do ninja affairs, tossed the chaos of Beiming Pengcheng, responded to the battle in advance, shed blood, and lacked people's strength, never thought of his end? At this time, don't you think that your hypocrisy and selfishness are just good to blame for the sins of others? He was killed by you, madam. I didn't care about her feelings, I just said coldly.

A crimson of anger floated on the puffy cheeks of Mrs. Beizhengsu, and the unconcealable sorrow and pain in her eyes made me secretly say for Cao Qin in my heart, she is not ruthless to you, but your life is no match for the temptation of power lust for her.

The thick candles flickering in the smoke lantern lamps painted with ukiyo-e paintings in the tulle and the fog horizontal lamps covered by the same color brocade next to them, and the long mats on the horizontal wooden floor are clean and dusty, but there is nothing left.

"You're here to prove that Shin-Etsu will support the Tokugawa coup, right? The Tokugawa family has promised to make peace with you, right? She asked word by word.

"Whether there is a coup d'état or not, I don't know, I naturally want to promote peace between each other and a secret covenant of mutual non-aggression, if Kang Xiujia and I make an agreement at this moment, I have no objection." I also spoke to her slowly, word by word.

She looked me up and down, first angry, and then gradually turned to mockery, and then laughed, "You are a Xinyue person, but you took refuge in Beiming, and you died so much for the peace between Beiming and Luo Wei, don't you know, once Luo Wei and Beiming negotiate peace, what does it mean to Xinyue?" ”

I glanced at her, snorted to my lips, turned around and changed my posture, and said, "Don't you even serve tea to your guests?" I'm thirsty. ”

She didn't mean me to say this suddenly, she pondered for a moment, and said angrily to the window, "Aoki-kun, let the tea fairy serve tea." ”

A cold "hi" from the window answered.

She looked at me again, but I didn't look at her, I just coldly dragged out two square juanpas from the wide-sleeved robe, and pulled the two pieces of mats on the bamboo strip mat covered by the case, and the lamp oil halomed the soot, and wrote two copies of the Xinyue Chinese character and the Luo Wei script on it. Waved his hand to her side.

"This is the peace condition between Beiming and Luo Wei." I stared at her hands, and saw that she was picking up Juan Pa and reading, and Fang continued, "Yushan Island, Feng Island, Ryu Island and other islands are all owned by my Beiming, and no Luo Wei warship is allowed to pass through our waters without the approval of the imperial court—including all supply ships that supply the land wars in Xinyue and Jeju, which are not allowed to pass through our Beiming. ”

There was a sound of tuk tuk knocking on the door, and she said softly, "Come in." ”

I saw that the tea fairy dragged a small step, dressed in a colorful and layer-by-layer dyed Luo Wei Chang dress, carrying a strong plum blossom incense, saluted, first knelt to the side of the lady of the North Political Office, and then knelt to my side, took off the two blue and white porcelain color teapots and tea cups from the rosewood tray, and offered both hands to the side of the three and a half feet horizontal and one and a half feet long, and then bowed and withdrew, and closed the door.

I lifted the cup, touched the wax pill underneath the cup, hid it in my palm, and drank the cup again.

"Hahaha," Mrs. Beizheng suddenly laughed, she held the two pieces of brocade handkerchief, rubbed her hands as if she hated her, didn't look at the tea cup on the table at all, only moved her throat up and down, and breathed two more sighs of relief, Fang said, "Do you think that without supplies from the sea, we will not be able to recruit troops and get food in the fertile land of Silla in the territory of Xinyue, and fight with Xinyue to the end?"

Since Mr. Jing is smart and Prince Rui is also aspiring to the throne, why don't you join forces with me and share the land of Xinyue with each other? This kind of peace negotiation may not be the best peace policy for Beiming and Prince Rui, right? I think it must be Mr. Jing's own selfishness, maybe Xinyue or Beiming? ”

I suddenly felt a trace of wanting to strangle the fat woman in front of me, but it was fleeting. I have to admit that she does have a discerning eye, and in a word, it is not an insight that ordinary women can do. Especially at this moment, when her husband is dying, and her sworn enemy has the only heir in the Omi family, she has to rely on the agreement with the Tokugawa family to protect herself, but she is still so calm.

She guessed correctly, so Huang Chun set up such a complicated situation and pushed me to the front line of peace negotiation, the most fundamental reason is only because we want to promote peace on the one hand, and on the other hand, we must not let Beiming have the opportunity to lure Luo Wei and form a line with him, so as to damage my Xinyue's interests.

Calm down, my brain gave itself a straight collar, and in an instant, a more indifferent look appeared on my face and said, "There is no supply at sea, and the battle will be fought to the end, do you just rely on the Xinyue to surrender and attack yourself?" Do you think that Prince Rui will be so stupid as to think that once you Luo Wei landed on the Xinyue Continent, he would give up the fat of Beiming? Although Beiming did not build a country with poetry and books, it is not enough to not understand the cold lips and teeth, let alone to know your ambitions. ”

When I saw that she hated the two parties and Jinpa so much, and still did not throw them into the brazier and burn them, I was sure that she would struggle. And disrupting Luo Wei made her sway between the main battle of the Yasuhide family and the Tokugawa family of the main peace, so that Luo Wei could be in chaos for a longer time, and also allowed Beiming to get a more favorable bargaining chip for peace.
