Chapter 17: Birthdays

According to the practice of the ministers of the Jin Dynasty, when the winter is feasting, the lantern must be held during the unitary time. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Prince Cheng's mansion at this time was already brightly lit.

Today, the whole palace is rewarded with banquets, and there is the sound of drinking and guessing boxing everywhere. There is only a single seat above the main hall, and Xuanbu and the princess, as well as Xuanjing Huiqin and a few others sit alone and drink and talk happily.

Xuan Jing had already worshiped his parents at this time, and Xuan Bu and the princess naturally had rewards for Xuan Jing. What Xuan Bu gave to Xuan Jing was a sword book, called "Imperial Sword", which was the result of Xuan Bu's lifelong swordsmanship, equipped with a map, from shallow to deep. And Xuan Bu has been teaching Xuan Jing orally for many years, and today he has officially passed on the sword spectrum, as long as Xuan Jing is willing to work hard, he will succeed.

Xuan Bu's intention was naturally to urge Xuan Jing to cultivate martial arts diligently and serve the country. The princess acted the opposite, and took the best inkstone that accompanied her when she got married and gave it to Xuanjing, hoping that Xuanjing could read more handwriting and learn the way of the sage.

Yu Bo suddenly contracted a sudden illness yesterday, and he couldn't get out of bed this morning, and the imperial doctor in the house didn't know what the strange illness was, so he could only prescribe three pairs of medicines according to the ancient prescription and take a look. It's just that this recipe is too cold, and many medicinal herbs are not prepared in the Wangfu Pharmacy. Yu Bo's wife was worried about her husband's condition, so she personally made a carriage in the morning and went to the street medicine store to get medicine for Yu Bo.

At this time, the wine at the banquet had passed three rounds, and Xuan Bu said: "Miss Huiqin, although you are young, your piano skills can be called the style of a national player. Today coincides with Jing'er's birthday, can you ask Miss Huiqin to play a song to help her enjoy? ”

Huiqin smiled, got up slowly, bowed to Xuanbu, and said: "Thanks to the praise of the prince, Huiqin is ashamed, it is an honor for Huiqin to play for the prince, the princess and His Royal Highness the prince today." ”

After that, a girl had already taken Fu Xiqin and put it on a few, and Huiqin warmed her hands slightly. Yingying sat down, tried the sound briefly, and talked about the song "Mountains and Flowing Water".

This is a song that is widely circulated in the market, and any qin lady in Diji can play a few paragraphs at will. It's just that Huiqin's playing at this time is quite different from the version of the song that has been circulated in the market, and this song is generally divided into two songs: "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water". "High Mountain" is four sections, "Flowing Water" is eight sections, a total of 12 sections, most of the pianists play one or several sections to play, rarely the whole piece is played.

At this time, the music played by Huiqin was both "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water". The twelve rhythms are blended together, combined with the unique rhyme and expression of Fu Xiqin, and everyone in the hall is fascinated and unable to hold on to themselves.

It took half an hour for Huiqin to finish playing "Mountains and Flowing Water". There was no sound in the hall, and everyone was immersed in this wonderful rhythm, and they forgot everything for a while.

After a long time, Xuan Bu said first: "Miss Huiqin's song is ingenious, it is different from the rumors, and it is also the girl's national handicraft skills, which is indeed beautiful and evocative!" ”

At this time, the princess and Xuanjing came back to their senses, and the princess said: "I used to hear the prince and Jing'er praise Huiqin's piano skills, saying that the aftermath is lingering, and it is the best in Diji. I listened to it with my own ears today, but it was far more famous than meeting, even if the child was resurrected, he would definitely take the girl as his bosom friend. Jing'er can make such a friend, it's really Jing'er's blessing! ”

Huiqin smiled slightly, got up and saluted, and said: "The prince and the princess have praised it, Huiqin is still young, and it is just a glimpse of this rhythm." First, this Fuxi qin is an artifact in the world, the timbre is simple and elegant, and secondly, this piece is an ancient legend of our clan, which is different from the version in the market, and the prince and princess sound fresh. ”

"Oh! It turns out that there is an ancient score of this song among the girl clan, which is very different from the rumor in the market! Xuanbu bowed slightly, he was still strange in his heart just now, the music played by Huiqin was too quaint, and many rhythms were no longer used today. This little girl is no more than cardamom, and if she arranges it herself, then this song is a little old-fashioned compared to her age.

"Back to the prince's words, before the dynasty, "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" were originally a song. Until the end of the Feng Dynasty, it was divided into two takes. Huiqin grew up in the Xi tribe of Jizhou in his childhood, and the predecessors of the clan still left the ancient score of the previous dynasty, which was learned by Huiqin when he learned the piano. Huiqin replied unhurriedly.

Xuan Jing was curious, and wanted to ask Huiqin what kind of scenery was on the ice sheet of the Arctic State, but before Xuan Jing could speak, he heard a commotion outside the hall, and a family member walked in three steps and two steps.

"Wang ...... Lord, it's not good...... Oh no! This Ding said in a trembling and shocked manner.

"You get up first, what's the panic like this?" Xuan Bu was shocked in his heart, his house has always been strictly ruled, today's birthday of the prince, several people in this hall except Huiqin are all noble people, if it were not for a major change in the house, the next person would never be so ignorant of etiquette, rashly intruded.

"Lord Wang, Lord Wang! Outside the palace, His Royal Highness the King and Hua Jian, the commander of the Holy Decree, led the Jinwuwei Forbidden Army and the internal guard of the Shenji Battalion to surround the palace, saying that it was ...... Say yes......" Ding said here, but he didn't dare to say any more.

Xuan Bu hurriedly asked, "But it doesn't hurt to say, what did they say?" ”

They said...... They said that Lord Wang, you are the rebel of the Muyun Tuan, colluding with Li Yuantang, the governor of Yuzhou, and intending to rebel. They also said that the prince had built a secret room in your mansion to take in the court convict Liu Xiang and plot against him. They held the holy decree and ordered the whole house to be captured, otherwise they would be killed! When Jia Ding said this, he was already trembling all over, and his heart was terrified.

Xuanbu gasped, what Bai Lie said was really right, it seems that this year, he can't get by.

"What about Yu Cheng?" Xuanbu asked in a deep voice.

The family hurriedly replied: "Manager Yu was sick in bed early in the morning, and his wife was worried about it and went to get the medicine herself. But when the villain went to the manager's room to report the situation just now, he didn't see the person in charge, and the villain asked around, and everyone said that they hadn't seen the manager. ”

Xuan Bu knew in his heart that the other charges were just enough, but only he and Yu Cheng knew about the matter of Liu Xiang and the secret room at the bottom of the lake. The leakage of this matter must have nothing to do with Yu Cheng, and this Yu Cheng is not sick early or late, but he is sick today, and he must be cooperating with those people to frame himself.

Xuanbu sat for a while, settled his mind, and then spoke: "Order everyone, no resistance, open the gate, and let them in." ”

The family nodded in agreement and stumbled down.

The princess was anxious, and saw that her subordinates were far away, and hurriedly asked: "Lord, what's going on, rebellion is not a joke." ”

Xuan Bu didn't answer, but he had already figured out the joints at this time. This matter must be the mastermind of King Kang and Longkong Mountain, and Yu Cheng and them should cooperate inside and outside. He has regarded Cheng as a confidant for many years, and it can be said that there is nothing that Yu Cheng does not know.

Needless to say, the secret room and Liu Xiang must have been denounced by Yu Cheng. And the matter of uniting with Li Yuantang to rebel is naturally framed out of thin air. It's just that Yu Cheng has been in possession of the prince's seal letter all these years, and it is estimated that it should not be difficult to use the seal letter to forge a few letters. At the moment, it seems that Li Yuantang also has an internal ghost on his side, and he forged Li Yuantang's notes and letters.

As the prince of the prison country, it is impossible for my father to send troops to besiege the palace for no reason because of a few false accusations, these people must have come up with evidence that my father had to believe, so my father would make such a ruthless order.

As for the matter between himself and Princess Kite back then, Yu Cheng has always known about it. Back then, Liu Xiang believed in the Muyun warriors of the world, and many people knew that Princess Kite was the leader of the Muyun Regiment.

There is also Jing'er, Xuanjing was born to himself and Princess Kite, only Yu Cheng knows in the house, once he tells Prince Kang about this matter, then even if he is obediently bound today, I am afraid that those people will not let Xuanjing go.

Xuanbu raised his eyes and saw that everyone in the hall was looking at him, with fear or doubt in his eyes, and it seemed that they were all waiting for their own explanation, and they seemed to be waiting for their own arrangements.

Xuan Jing cleared his throat and said slowly: "Jing'er, today is your birthday, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen at home." In the future, your parents will no longer be able to take care of you, although the rivers and lakes are big, you have to live well. Xuan Bu said, looked at the princess in his eyes, paused and said: "Madam, I have been busy with official business all these years, and I have been snubbing you a lot. ”

Xuan Jing didn't know how to answer, just stayed there and couldn't say a word.

Xuanbu said again: "Miss Huiqin, I'm really sorry to let you suffer this unwarranted burden today, Jing'er is still young, and the rivers and lakes will be extremely dangerous in the future, I hope the girl can take care of Jing'er more for the sake of today's friendship." ”

Huiqin was smart, and naturally knew that the Xuanbu in front of her was the intention of supporting the orphan, so she hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said: "Lord, His Royal Highness the Prince has a life-saving grace for the little woman, and there are changes in the prince's mansion today, and the little woman must do her best to protect His Royal Highness!" ”

Xuanbu nodded, and looked at Xuanjing again, "Jing'er, you have been simple-minded since you were a child, and you won't understand this kind of struggle in the court now, you come here, I will tell you a few things." ”

Xuan Jing's mind was blank at this time, and when he heard his father's call, he hurriedly got up and walked to his father's side to listen to his father's arrangements.

Xuanbu lowered his voice and said, "Jing'er, you immediately take Huiqin to the secret room at the bottom of the lake, there is a secret passage under the secret room, you can escape from the palace." Use the mantra technique I taught you to recite it with the inner breath of the Heart-burning Technique, and you can unlock the secret art prohibition in the secret room. At that time, the grandfather inside will naturally take you out. ”

Xuan Jing didn't know how to answer, just shook his head vigorously.

Xuanbu continued: "Jing'er, I know that you are a good boy, and you are reluctant to let me and your mother go. But now, for the sake of the Father, he wants you to live, to live at all costs. As a father, he did his best for the country all his life, but today he was framed by a villain, ruined his reputation, and his family was ruined. You must live, find out the truth of the matter, and be innocent of your father and your mother! ”
