Chapter Ninety-Five: A Royal Family with a Different Surname
Ruoyun was stunned for a moment, looked at him with a smile on his face and understood a little, and then said: "It's okay, there's nothing wrong with being idle, the family is in business, and you don't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, your reputation is far and wide, and you're not afraid of people beating your idea." ”
"Hmm." Bai Ze seemed to be interested, and nodded backwards, "Go into the inner room and speak." ”
Xiaohong understood, and hurriedly led him into the inner hall, and then obediently retreated.
Bai Ze put the dresser on the table, sat down at the table, and said worriedly: "Girl, you were uncomfortable in the palace last time, are you better now?" ”
"Me?" Ruoyun's eyes rolled, thinking that he had resigned from the state affairs in the past few days, he must not have known about her danger, so he nodded with a smile, "I naturally have nothing to do, it's very good." ”
"That's good." Bai Ze stared at her in a plain shirt and dress, without the dignity of Mrs. Yipin, and her eyes as clear as the sun dimmed a little, "Although I recognize you as a righteous sister, I can't come often in this palace, you should be careful." ”
"What? Someone is bothering you? She sat down nervously and asked anxiously.
"No......" He looked at her seriously, suddenly laughed, shook his head, and said, "In your eyes, I look like the person who is being asked for trouble?" ”
A pair of eyebrows and eyes like a crooked crescent moon made her feel a lot more relieved, she breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled back: "Also, if you don't trouble others, you should be thankful." ”
Unexpectedly, Bai Ze seemed to be preoccupied, and sighed: "When the emperor was alive, he neglected the government, so that except for the west and southern Xinjiang, the ten prefectures and counties of Tianyi were in charge of their own affairs. The emperor has gradually withdrawn state power in the past few years, and he wants to trouble me. Looking at the whole country, there is only Rong Jinhuan. ”
"So you removed the military power of the three states on the border, and only kept the rest of the part, in exchange for peace with the emperor?" Ruoyun poured water for him. King Yu, who sighed at the white brocade clothes in front of him, would also be troubled by such things.
"Yes and no, this is what he wants, and this is what I want to put." Bai Ze replied.
was so outspoken, but it made her frightened, and after being slightly stunned, Ruoyun sighed and said: "The king with a different surname is not only not greedy for power as rumored, but is looking forward to returning to the field. I don't know if the country will tremble. ”
"Then why do you think we're here?" His gaze suddenly became cold, and the smile on his lips faded.
Ruoyun took a breath. replied seriously: "If you want power, the essay is about martial arts, the royal family with different surnames has already dominated the world, and the ...... is about wealth" She looked at his golden jewelry. Said helplessly. "No matter how much you love gold and silver, I have never seen you amass wealth, and I really can't think of anyone or anything worthy of your life."
"Alas, girl, you're so stupid." Bai Ze turned to smile and simply lowered his voice, "We are not from Tianyi, but from a foreign country. Outland, I say so. Do you understand? ”
When Ruoyun heard him say this, her doubts became bigger and bigger, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "Are you really not from Tianyi?" ”
Bai Ze put away the joking smile and bowed his head very solemnly.
This time, it was Ruoyun's turn to look abrupt, and she shook her head again and again: "I wasn't sure about this before, the first emperor was addicted to mathematics, and he would not let the foreigners control the lifeline of Tianyi, which is unreasonable." ”
"What if we had what the Emperor wanted?" Bai Ze asked again, his eyes lit up slightly.
"This ......" Ruoyun was silent for a moment, assuming that there were many contradictions in her heart, "Although you have the rare scrolls of your ancestors in your hands, wouldn't it be easier and safer for the first emperor to seize them by force than to allow half of the country?" ”
In case a royal family with a different surname wants to subvert the country and change the dynasty, wouldn't it be easy?
She hesitated and didn't say anything.
"What about something more appealing than a scroll?" Bai Ze raised an eyebrow and asked further.
This time she was completely speechless, only shook her head.
"Ugh." Seeing that she was puzzled, Bai Ze stretched out his finger and tapped his forehead, changing his previous solemnity, and suddenly smiled, "You don't know that Lu Dao is right, and it's normal to guess." I just ask you, are you really no longer seeing Qingxuan? ”
Hearing him mention it suddenly, she "chuckled" in her heart, and nodded firmly in the next moment: "Since he recognized my father's matter and answered that day's question, there is no possibility for me to be with him." ”
"He entered the palace today to check the pulse of the princess, and he will resign to the emperor later and go south, and then return to Beijing I don't know how many years, do you really not go?" Bai Ze coughed and asked again cheekily.
Her heart was sad and silent.
Although it is common for power to clash among emperors and ministers in the past,
"Okay, I also know that Lu Dao is reluctant to come, you are really a temper, you don't listen to people's persuasion until the end, you don't know the hearts of good people, and you will regret it carefully in the future." Bai Ze was slightly annoyed, frowned, and said, "Originally, Qingxuan promised to tell you in person, since you don't want to mention it now, I will go back to the bad guy and tell you the reason for this royal family with a different surname." After you listen, take care of the good or bad yourself. ”
His sudden sullenness made Ruoyun not know what to do, and since she heard him say this, she could only nod her head and said, "You came to visit me this time to tell me, right?" Otherwise, you will go around the bend with me as soon as you come, which is not like your style. ”
She finished drinking from her teacup and listened to him.
Bai Ze scratched the back of his head and said cautiously: "We are from Fusu." ”
Ruoyun trembled violently, stopped drinking the water, and stared at him with straight eyes.
Bai Ze nodded.
She slowly put down the cup and was stunned for a long time before she said: "That Fusu, who had destroyed more than ten dynasties before the founding of Tianyi?" ”
Bai Ze bowed his head again and added, "To be exact, it has been twenty-two dynasties and more than a thousand years. ”
Seeing that he didn't look like a joke at all, Ruoyun took a sharp breath and said in disbelief: "When I was a child, I only read it in books, and I thought that Fusu Country was just a legendary prosperous country, but it really existed?" You mean...... Still exists?! ”
After hearing this, Bai Ze showed an embarrassed look, and said: "I also heard that when Fusu was alive, it was a very powerful country, and most of those classics and scrolls were left by their ancestors, which can be seen. However, since I was born, I have been living in Fusu, and I have never experienced those prosperous dynasties. ”
"Why are you hiding?" Ruoyun asked again, feeling that the doubts in her heart were being revealed little by little.
"It is said that they were afraid that the wealth they left behind would be destroyed by the war, so they moved to a no-man's land." Bai Ze was not very sure about his answer this time, and stood up and paced indoors, glancing from time to time to pay attention to the movement outside the door and window.
Ruoyun suddenly realized, and couldn't help but admire: "But all those who die are killed for the full power of immortality and beauty and pleasure, Fusu is really a prosperous country." ”
The ancestors of Fusu will govern the country, the dossier of righteousness, and the key to the tricks of the arts, etc., can see through the appearance of the world of flowers and flowers, the appearance of a prosperous dream, know the way of long-term happiness of the Taoist, and escape from the world for generations.
"But girl, we live in seclusion, but we are not tired of the world, and we will come back from time to time to learn from thousands of years, otherwise we are all fools who eat the ancients." Bai Ze smiled, tilted his head slightly, and said, "It's just that we follow the first method to escape the world, and there are very few people who can go out of Fusu to Tianyi, and Tianyi doesn't know that we exist." ”
"Where are you now?" Ruoyun sketched the map of Tianyi in her mind, and she really couldn't think of where they were hiding.
Bai Ze seemed to see what she was thinking, sighed and shook his head, and finally glared at her: "Are you scared stupid and become so stupid?" Of course we are not in Tianyi! The current Fusu is south of Pingzhou and Xuanzhou, and west of Fengzhou. ”
"Impossible...... Ruoyun's eyes widened, and her lips moved in disbelief.
Pingzhou is in the south of Yunzhou, which is the fief of the king of Jin, and Xuanzhou is in the south of Yizhou, which is close to Beijing. It's just that Pingzhou or Xuanzhou, the border is blocked by mountains and mountains, the carriages and horses are not good, and there have been more than one person to explore before the dynasties, either the fog is missing, or the bad climate and beasts, snakes and insects, etc., the one that has gone the farthest is said to have crossed the mountain, to a barren land, and then the barren land is the mountain, and returned in vain.
If Fusu exists after that lofty mountain, isn't it thousands of miles away from here?
Bai Ze glanced at her and continued: "Fusu is actually in that mountain, about ten or so mountains in Fengzhou, there is a basin about three or four states and counties, with beautiful scenery and fertile soil, but unfortunately there is only one entrance and exit to the outside world. We just followed the law of our ancestors, set up the fog, and also set up the rest of the obscuration, and whoever entered the mountain range could not find our place. ”
Ruoyun swallowed her saliva and asked again: "Then how did you come out?" What is the ...... entrance? ”
"In fact, if you want to talk about the entrance, there is no way at all." Bai Ze frowned slightly, approached her in an inaudible voice, and said word by word, "We have a secret passage." ”
"Ah......" Ruoyun suddenly realized, and instantly remembered the neat secret passage when she was in Yizhou.
It turns out that if Fusu is such a powerful country and wants to move its clan, it must do everything possible to choose a location, coupled with the wisdom and superior skills of the Fusu ancestors, it is really not difficult to open a secret passage.
She nodded, convinced.
"After we moved away, many of the remaining countries in this world went to war, fought for cities and land, and plundered their remaining resources." Bai Ze sighed, looking beyond the window lattice as if to see thousands of years ago, "and then many dynasties rose and changed, qualified to go out of the Fusu people, in the war and chaos, in the prosperous era to learn from the exchange, for a long time, choose a place in Fengzhou, imitate the ancestors to build a villa, cloth spells in the surroundings, convenient for temporary residence, is called Longhua Villa." ”
Ruoyun's heart sank, and she blurted out: "Jiangnan?!" ”
Bai Ze's expression was solemn and he bowed slightly.
Ruoyun was stunned, no wonder Cheng Qingxuan mentioned Xia Jiangnan many times, it turned out that he wanted to take her there and tell her the truth about Fusu? It's a pity that she will never be able to go with him again.
For a while, she felt regretful in her heart, but she was not very sad.
"Since you have escaped from the world, why did you come to power in this heaven?" If Yun only has this one question, Fusu will have to be too peaceful and happy for a long time to move the family, and the royal family with different surnames will rise in Tianyi, which is unreasonable.
Bai Ze's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he seemed to be a little annoyed, and said angrily: "It's not the Star Picking Pavilion, the Star Picking Pavilion all over Tianyi makes the mountains and rivers out of shape, and the earth shakes the mountains, it doesn't matter how Tianyi is, there are also many natural disasters in my Fusu territory, how can we ignore it?!"
