Chapter 358: Six Palaces Fandel (I)
The cabin was closed, and although Shu'er was stable and unwell, she slept lightly in the cabin. Seeing that Yan Xiao, Yan Qing and Yan Xiu were still asleep, she got up softly and walked onto the deck alone.
In the early morning mist, she stood alone on the bow of the boat and looked at the willow bank near the river in the capital of Chu State, and suddenly remembered the scene when she and her mother returned to Chu by boat from Song State. The mother and daughter once looked at the willow bank near the river on the deck together, and the mother did not like the husband she married, so her marriage certificate was confiscated.
Shu'er stroked her lower abdomen and said in her heart: "Mother, at that time, you said that you didn't want me to marry Congrong...... You said that even if there is no blood feud between me and him, and he and his father-in-law are doing the precarious restoration of the country, it will not give me a stable life. I never listened to those words, but at this time I have to admit that what you said was all for my good. But after all, I still had a calm blood, and I still couldn't forget him after all, and I didn't regret it at all. I will wait for him to return safely in Chu State, if he does not appear again for the rest of his life, it is a big deal, I am also like King Zhao, green silk turns into snow. ”
The fog is misty, the green willows hang low, the morning market in Linjiang is not opened, and the city is very quiet.
The man in white on the shore stood motionless, as if he had been standing on the willow bank all night.
Without having to see his face clearly, just by glancing at the slightly hunched thin silhouette, Shu'er immediately recognized Lin Ying, so he waved at him.
Lin Ying's originally calm eyes flashed with a hint of waves, but she still stood still.
Shu'er thought that Lin Ying didn't see her, so she raised her other hand as well, waved it vigorously, and even jumped up.
Seeing that she was in a hurry, Lin Ying lazily raised her hand and waved, then turned around and walked to a stone bench next to a willow tree and sat down, waiting for the first merchant ship from Anyi to dock on the Linjiang River today.
The merchant ship was moored at Yangliu Wharf, and when Shu'er, Yan Xiao, Yan Qing and Yan Xiu walked off the ship together, Lin Ying, the king of Chu, had already greeted them.
The four of them were about to salute Lin Ying, but Lin Ying waved her hand and said, "Sister Shu'er, Aunt Yan, Yan Qing, Yan Xiu, you don't have to be polite to me." And I went out of the palace today, and I didn't talk about any etiquette and pomp. ”
Shu'er saw that although Lin Ying's tone was brisk, as before, her eyes flashed with flickering anger, so she asked, "How is Your Highness doing recently?" Are there any worries that can be shared by the ministers? ”
Lin Ying raised her eyebrows and glanced at Shu'er, who was pretending, but did not answer, turned around and strode in the direction of Zhaohuang Palace.
Shu'er chased after Lin Ying, while Yan Xiao, Yan Qing and Yan Xiu deliberately slowed down and fell behind the two. Only then did Lin Ying slow down her pace and walk side by side with Shu'er.
Shu'er said: "Your Highness is now the king of Chu State, how can you go out or not bring an escort?" ”
Lin Ying sighed, glanced at Shu'er like a stupid child, and said, "The king of Chu has always said that death is death, and this title is indeed unreliable. But now I am the golden beetle son-in-law of the Three Princes and Jiuqing families of the Chu State, which one of the unsightly dares to murder me? If you hurt me, won't the precious daughter and the precious granddaughter of their family have to be widowed, or even martyred? ”
Shu'er said "oh", and was about to ask about the sacrifice of the King of Shu, Lin Ying saw that her face was indifferent, so she smiled and said: "Actually, those three princes and nine kings are not necessarily very precious to their own girls, but they are thinking about letting the girls in the family conceive my child first, so that they can be the grandfather of the next king of Chu." In the past few years, if a baby boy is born in Zhaohuang Palace, I need to be guarded at all times. Do you understand? ”
Shu'er looked sideways at Lin Ying, who was smiling, and frowned: "Qianqiu Tingbian, you are the choice of hundreds of officials, how can they still have such calculations?" ”
Lin Ying's eyebrows were crooked, and she didn't care: "Incompetent people still have selfishness, and those who claim to be pillars will inevitably turn into ambitions." They each have their own cities, and what they are waiting for is that after I govern the Chu State properly, there will be a 'praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind'. As soon as someone's grandson is born, they will kill me and support a legitimate puppet child to be the king of Chu. In this way, the huge Chu State will be able to return to his hands. And I, Lin Ying, am just a brute who 'sows' seeds for their ambitions. ”
Shu'er's footsteps faltered, and when she saw Lin Ying smiling kindly, she couldn't help but feel sorry for him, so she comforted: "The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, but you don't have to think too sinister about people's hearts, otherwise you will be exhausted all day long, how can you be happy?" ”
Lin Ying said: "I can laugh while worrying hard!" Those old guys just have a bad idea in their stomachs, and their brains can't turn me at all. But in his heart, he was thinking, "Shu'er, only if I do my best can I keep your sisters and brothers smiling." ”
The streets in Linjiang City are clean, and the two of them talk non-stop.
Lin Ying roughly told Shu'er about the recent large amount of trade between the Chu State and the Song State, and talked about the arrangements for Dongfang Shu to lead heavy troops to garrison the Song and Chu borders, and did not ask about the rumors between Shu'er and Liu Jing, the king of Song.
Shu'er didn't tell Lin Ying about her brother-sister relationship with Liu Jing through the help of King Zhao. After all, only King Zhao, Liu Jing, An Tai, Ling Fei and her five people knew about this matter, and she didn't want to expose King Zhao's identity that had been hidden for many years, nor did she want to mention her soft-heartedness towards Liu Jing again.
Lin Ying said: "I ordered Xiao Dongfang to be stationed in Anyi, but I suffered a lot of dissatisfaction from the three princes and nine kings. The people they recommended to me can all line up from Zhaohuang Palace to your county king's mansion. But if I am willful, I just don't listen! ”
Shu'er asked, "What reason did you use to prevaricate them?" ”
Lin Ying spread her hands: "The reason is that the master is the king of Chu, and the master has the final say!" ”
Shu'er gave him a blank look: "You're talking nonsense again." I don't believe that you can say such things to your twelve old men sitting on the dragon chair of the Thousand Autumn Hall with such grace and grace. ”
Lin Ying smiled and said, "Those who know me, only Sister Shu'er!" What was on my mind, how could I let those old guys know? I praised the old guys a lot, and then praised everyone they recommended, and then sent people to check the family history, position, and details of each person they recommended, and read them out word by word at the court meeting, and scrutinized them word by word, putting on the appearance that everyone is good and it is difficult for few people to choose. So it dragged around and weighed hard, and the old guys finally got impatient, and they gave up. ”
Shu'er said: "No wonder Xiao Dongfang seems to have more respect for you than before, it turns out that you have worked for him a lot of benefits under pressure." ”
Lin Ying nodded: "First, I owe Xiao Dongfang a debt." I will give him as much as I can. He is younger than me and has less experience than me, so he can't take advantage of it when he debates. If we were of the same age, his eloquence would not be below mine. Although your father and mother put the state of Chu first in everything, your father has always been as good as my father as the king of Chu, so he also affected Xiao Dongfang and caused him to inherit the throne of the king of Chu justifiably.
Second, letting him garrison the place where the soldiers of Chu and Song Dynasty must fight is the only superior strategy for the Chu State. With the Song King's intentions for you, if he sends troops to attack Chu, he must be afraid of your brother. But this relationship alone is not enough.
Xiao Dongfang grew up in the military camp, and when I read poems, books, and music scores in Fanjing, and developed the utensils for Biliang makeup, he was already familiar with the military books with the first strategist of the Chu State. He has been guided by masters since he was a child, and on the isolated island of Xuanji, he has practiced a hundred swordsmanship. On soldiers and martial arts, no one in the Chu State can compare with the prince of Anyi.
The most important thing is that Little Oriental has never shown its head. Therefore, no one in the Song Kingdom knows his talent at all, and the Song King will definitely not be too wary of him.
I personally told Xiao Dongfang that the trump card of Chu State is not me, nor you, but him. ”
