Chapter 99: I'm going to Xuanfu
Capital.
In a side hall in the palace, Qian Ning looked like a dusty servant, and walked around anxiously in place. Suddenly, he stopped, listened intently, and then hurried to the door.
"Brother Qian, do you know? Our family was on duty last night, and we just went to bed. What's so urgent that we have to sleep unsoundly? Besides, didn't you go to Xuanfu, why did you rush back so quickly? ”
"Brother Gu, Father-in-law Gu, it's a good thing." Qian Ning didn't care that his body was dusty, he stepped forward and pressed Gu Dayong's shoulder, laughing.
"What good can it be?" Gu Da rubbed his sleepy eyes, and muttered weakly: "Brother Qian, since you went in person, the kid surnamed Xie still hasn't been captured, you went to Xuanfu, and your vision has become lower, and you are happy to be like this just by wooing a scholar who can tell stories." ”
"What kind of light can tell stories, that person is not ordinary......" Qian Ning didn't argue with him, and told what he saw in Xuanfu from the beginning, "...... The Three Kingdoms you told the Long Live Lord last time is outdated, and now this Xiaoao Jianghu is powerful, I asked for a manuscript to bring it to you, this story is nothing, and the piano is powerful...... And the new lyrics......"
Gu Dayong didn't think much at first, but when Qian Ning was halfway through, his eyes were already round. He knows the power of the storytelling best, these days, he stays by the emperor's side every day, except for the last court, almost never leaves, occupies the limelight, and crushes Liu Jin, who has always looked down on him, is it not this commentary?
In the past few days, the storytelling has almost ended, and the content behind it is not as exciting as the previous one, Gu Dayong is a little worried, but the new one is delivered, and it is even more exciting than the Three Kingdoms, which is great. As for the new musical instruments and new lyrics, hehe, let it be given to Brother Qian, and it is not in vain for him to rush.
Without waiting for Qian Ning to finish speaking, his drowsiness had been swept away, and he said brightly: "Brother Qian, you wait a while, Brother go wash your face, and then let's go see Long Live Lord." Without waiting for Qian Ning to say more, he ran to the back to wash up, if he wasn't afraid of being said to be disrespectful in front of the king, he couldn't wait to go directly to the emperor.
"I'm not done yet......" Seeing his chubby back disappear quickly, Qian Ning shook his head helplessly.
Coincidentally, when the two went to see Zhengde, they just caught up with the scattered dynasty and saw the emperor's guard of honor from a distance, and the two greeted them together.
"Okay, there's no need to be so polite, and there are no outsiders." Zhengde also looked like he hadn't woken up, and when he saw these two cronies, he yawned and waved his hand to signal the two to be exempt.
"Your Majesty, there is a good thing." As soon as he entered the Qianqing Palace, Gu Dayong came up.
"Has the Three Kingdoms script been updated?" Zhengde nodded weakly, still not in any energy, "I've heard too much, and the back is not so interesting, let's put it first, and they will come over later." ”
Gu Da wiped a cold sweat secretly, Long live Lord is really tired again, fortunately, Brother Qian brought something back, otherwise our family will be bad today.
"Your Majesty, Qian Ning went to Xuanfu, and there is a new trick over there......"
"New tricks?" Zhengde just sat down, and when he heard this, he jumped up again, "What a new trick, say it quickly, say it quickly." ”
"Brother Qian, what do you say, ......" Gu Da glanced at Qian Ning, he wanted to say it himself, but he didn't finish listening to it just now, and he didn't say it at this time.
"Your Majesty Qiqi,......" Qian Ning said what he had seen and heard again, then took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhengde, "Your Majesty, this is the score and ......lyrics of 'A Laugh in the Sea'" Qian Ning's musical attainments are indeed not low, and this song and score were silently written down after he left Houdefang.
"It's ...... Anti-law? Zhengde looked at it carefully, hummed a few words, and suddenly looked up and asked.
"Your Majesty is wise."
"How is this going to be played? Did you make a piano for this piece? Zhengde furrowed his brows, puzzled.
"In Weichen's opinion, the piano seems to be able to play music with different tunes, so there is no need to make a special piano."
"Piano? Oh, it's the new instrument I talked about last time, right? It's really magical, you didn't lie to me. While pondering the score, Zhengde reverie the wonder of the piano, subconsciously muttered, and slowly sat back on the dragon chair.
"How dare a slave deceive Your Majesty." Gu Da pouted secretly.
"Your Majesty, before the minister returned to Beijing, he also heard that Hou Defang was going to fight with Tianxianglou, and Weichen had sent a musician to him, asking him to copy the score carefully. After the fight is over, if Hou Defang wins, Weichen is bold, please ask Your Majesty to give an order, how about letting them open the shop in the capital? ”
"What, Douraku?" Zhengde stood up again, his eyes sharp, looking directly at Channing.
"Exactly, what does Your Majesty think?" Qian Ning was overjoyed, he originally wanted to meet Xie Hong first, but when he suddenly heard the news of this doule, he couldn't sit still, and hurriedly set off to return to Beijing, in order to inform Zhengde of the matter as soon as possible. Now that I see that Zhengde is really moved, I can't help but feel proud.
Zhengde didn't move in the middle of the sound, Qian Ning was surprised, peeked in, but saw that Zhengde's handsome face changed, full of yearning for a while, and gritted his teeth for a while, what is the situation? Qian Ning glanced at Gu Dayong and found that the fat man was also in a daze, and said in his heart: Could it be that the emperor wants to snatch the piano? Then you don't have to be so worried, just say no?
The atmosphere in the hall froze for a while, only to hear Zhengde take a long breath, Qian Ning and Gu Dayong also put their minds at ease, anyway, as long as the emperor is happy, it doesn't matter if a small person is won over or not, just turn around and snatch the piano. However, Zhengde's next sentence made the two of them feel as if they had been struck by lightning, and they could hardly believe their ears.
"I'm going to Xuanfu." Zhengde's voice was not loud, but his tone was very firm.
"Huh?" Channing was dumbfounded.
"What?" Gu Dayong was stunned.
"I said that I was going to Xuanfu." Zhengde nodded and repeated.
"Your Majesty, you said you were going out of Beijing and going to Xuanfu?" Gu Dayong felt that it should be because he didn't wake up, otherwise how could he hear such an unbelievable thing?
"That's right." seems to have figured out what is on his mind, and the expression on Zhengde's face is not as dignified as just now.
"But, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, how can you go out of Beijing?" Qian Ning wondered if he was too tired on the road, so he hallucinated.
"Yes, aren't I the emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Wasn't Xuanfu the territory of the Ming Dynasty? Why, I want to go to Xuanfu, I want to go to my own territory, what's wrong? Zhengde was stunned and asked Qian Ning.
"The truth is right...... Qian Ning and Gu Dayong were confused, the reason is indeed right, but ...... The two of them said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, except for ...... At that time, no emperor in the Ming Dynasty had ever left the capital. "This shouldn't have been said, but compared to the emperor going out of Beijing, the little taboo can't be taken care of, anyway, the emperor's surname is easy-going, and he doesn't care about these small things.
"My father is not in good health, otherwise he would have wanted to go out of Beijing to see." Thinking of Hongzhi, Zhengde couldn't help but feel a little sad, but he quickly cheered up and said: "My father said back then, let me definitely show him the thousands of miles of the Ming Dynasty in the future...... My father's regret will be made up for by me. ”
"This ......" Gu Dayong and Qian Ning have been by Zhengde's side for a long time, and they also know that when Emperor Xiaozong was alive, he often took Zhengde out of the palace to play, if Emperor Xiaozong said this, they also believed it, but it was ......
How is it possible for the emperor to leave Beijing? Emperor Xiaozong is just talking casually, how can the emperor take it seriously? Don't talk about going out of Beijing, even if you ride a horse in the palace, the twists and turns of the ministers of the court and the central government are not like the tide that almost flooded the palace. If the ministers knew about it, then ......
The two of them looked at each other, and they both had palpitations: We two initiators, I'm afraid it's also bad.
……
"What are you doing inside? Is Gu Dayong that guy also there? Useless things, dead people in your house? Who is it to see? Liu Jin has been very depressed recently, and he is not angry when he sees anything, and when he arrived at the Qianqing Palace, he found that several eunuchs at the door were like examiners, and he was even more angry, and reprimanded him fiercely.
"What, the emperor is going out of Beijing!" Seeing Liu Jin, those people naturally didn't dare to hide it, and told what they heard, Liu Jin was also taken aback when he heard it. Just because the emperor wants to go out of Beijing is already very scary, but he still has to go to Xuanfu, isn't it clear that he wants to go to that Houdefang? For Liu Jin, this is even worse.
The ministers outside don't care if it's instigated by Gu Dayong, this account will definitely be counted on their own heads, and if the emperor really sees Xie Hong, then ...... No, Liu Jin gritted his teeth, turned his head and ordered: "Xiaowen, you hurry up and go to Cining Palace, go to see the Queen Mother, and make the matter more serious, forget it, needless to say that it is already very serious, tell me the truth, go, go quickly......"
He urged repeatedly, and Eunuch Xiao Liu also ran fast when he received the order. Seeing the news running away, Liu Jin was still very uneasy, although the emperor has always been filial, but he is also very stubborn, who knows if the queen mother can stop him.
……
"Your Majesty, you can't go......" Qian Ning and Gu Dayong couldn't say Zhengde, and in the end they could only kneel on the ground, and one of them dragged the corner of his clothes and began to play scoundrels.
"I said it's useful, Qian Ning," Zhengde couldn't cry or laugh, and he was also a little angry, and he was a little speechless, "Is I the emperor or not?" Do you think of me as an emperor, and why can't you walk on your own territory? Do you also want to learn from the ministers of the court? ”
This was serious, and the two of them didn't dare to continue dragging Zhengde, but whispered: "Your Majesty, it's not that we don't listen to you, but even if we don't stop you, the ministers of the court will not agree." ”
"I don't believe it, I want to see if I'm the emperor or Xie Daxue is the emperor!" Zhengde was even more angry, he was a fourteen-year-old boy, where could he suppress his anger, and he was already shouting loudly at this time.
Qian and Gu's faces were like earth, but they didn't dare to answer, Qian Ning scolded himself in his heart for being troublesome, why did he have to report the matter of Doule to the emperor, and directly asked that Xie Hong to open the teahouse to the capital? Even if the emperor has to go, he will only leave the palace, and it is nothing at all, but now...... If it weren't for the tense situation here, Qian Ning would have been eager to beat himself up.
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother invites Your Majesty to go to Cining Palace."
"What is the Queen Mother looking for me?" Zhengde was stunned.
"The slave doesn't know."
"Forget it, big use, Qian Ning, when I see my mother, let's continue to discuss this matter......" Zhengde is a filial child, even if he is on the fire, he will not slack off on the summons of the Empress Dowager Zhang.
Seeing Zhengde leaving, Qian Ning and Gu Dayong were relieved, and when they remembered what Zhengde said when he left, they were also relatively bitter.
"I said Dayong, Qian Ning, you two have made such a big thing, don't you want to live?" Seeing that Zhengde was gone, Liu Jin also turned in, and said mockingly: "You two don't want to live, and don't drag our family, do you know how big a crime it is to instigate the emperor to leave Beijing?" Do you want our family to ask the prince for you? ”
Those two are not good at stubble, as soon as they saw Liu Jin, they knew what was going on on the Queen Mother's side. If it were usual, Gu Dayong would not show weakness, but today, he was indeed scared, and his tone was much weaker, "It turned out to be Lao Liu, thank you brother for informing the Queen Mother, otherwise I don't know how to end up today, but can the Queen Mother persuade Your Majesty?" ”
"Do you think our family is as unreliable as yours? A few scholars will arrive in a while, even if the Queen Mother can't persuade them, a few scholars can persuade them, hum, so our family has long told you, don't always engage in some crooked ways. What's the matter, Channing, what kind of eyes are you, are you still not convinced? ”
"The lower officials don't dare." Qian Ning is the most depressed person today, he originally wanted to make a great contribution, but it turned out that things turned out like this, but at this time he had to endure it.
……
In the evening.
"Qian Ning......" Zhengde has become that weak look again, there is no way, after being reprimanded by the Empress Dowager Zhang, he was sprayed with saliva by the three old men in turn, even if he was beaten with iron, he became a clay man. Zhu Houzhao is a **mortal, of course he can't stand it.
"Wechen is here."
"It seems that I can't go this time, so I'll talk about it later......"
Qian Ning's heart was excited, oh my God, he didn't die yet! My long live lord, your surname is too strong, three scholars and a queen mother can't hold you.
“…… You go to Xuanfu again, and when they are fighting, you will copy the score back. Well, by the way, I will send someone to protect that Hou Defang, okay, that's it, the new commentary will also be left for me, you can go. ”
"That Piano ......"
"Well, let's talk about it later."
……
At the same time, Xuanfu.
Xie Hong was also worried, he was still hesitating, but Qian Ning left a book telling him that he must fight, and he must win. Just Qian Ning's orders were enough, but the letter also confirmed his conjecture, Zhengde really liked music very much, Qian Ning said that if Hou Defang won this fight, he would definitely promote Xie Hong to Beijing and see Zhengde.
This made Xie Hong unable to retreat, but it was useless for him not to retreat in this matter, he couldn't play the piano, he couldn't compose music, and his singing voice was not to mention, so he could only ask Ling'er.
"This matter is really important, Miss Ma, you must help."
"It's not that the little woman doesn't help, it's just that ...... Against Yang Rebel, Ling'er really has no chance of winning. Ling'er was pestered by Xie Hong for two days, and she was very helpless.
"Just do your best."
"But the stakes are on the piano, and this instrument is important, isn't it?"
"What is the piano, the fighting music is more important." If the piano is gone, you can do it again, and if you miss the opportunity, you can't find regret medicine.
"Gongzi Xie, is this matter really important to you?" Those beautiful eyes suddenly fixed on Xie Hong's face, shining, reflecting the starlight.
"It's really important." Xie Hong nodded, and Ling'er saw a rare solemnity in his eyes.
"Then Ling'er just do her best, but Xie Gongzi still has to find a way to fight the music, Ling'er's familiar tunes can't give full play to the advantages of the piano, and if you use those, you will have no chance of winning."
"Wrap it up on me." The topic has been set, although Xie Hong has no confidence, but he also knows that Ling'er is telling the truth, so he still agrees.
ps. Thank you for the reward of the blue sea and blue sky, thank you for the support of all the book friends who really like riddlesome, I will work hard.
