Chapter 362: The Ritual on the River (I)
Lin Ying, the king of Chu, brought twelve beauties and broke up with the princess of the East. The dispute between the king of Chu and the princess of the East in the Xinlan Palace spread word for word throughout the government and the opposition of the Chu State. Both the government and the opposition knew that the king of Chu had placed the Dongfang princess under house arrest in the Zhaohuang Palace, intending to control the unborn child in her womb.
From the next day, there was no morning meeting for three consecutive days. All the civil and military officials went to the Yangliuan of the Linjiang River to hold a sacrifice for the Shu King Wu Xie and the remnants of the Four Kingdoms who died outside the Jinyang Pass. The ceremony is grand, comparable to a national funeral.
All the officials were dressed in vegetarian clothes and shared a big boat with the king of Chu. The bow of the ship is adorned with white cloth, and the deck plays a sad song. The big ship slowly sailed on the Chu River, there were military attachés stepping on the long sword of sad singing and dancing, and there were also civil officials reciting eulogy to express their sorrows.
Shu'er knelt at the head of the military attaché, quietly looking at the smoke waves of the river, and her heart was infinitely sad
This sinister world, can't tolerate the last person in temperament?
She remembered that when she first saw the king of Shu, the king was not like a king, but like a chivalrous man who drank and talked freely. He grinned, and they became old friends.
The king of Shu obviously liked her Huaiwang sword, but he did not take it by force, but made a three-year appointment with her to send the sword to Zichuan. She was late for the appointment, and the king of Shu suddenly changed his hexagram and gave her the things he loved as a wedding gift.
The king and queen of Shu calmly married her and Zhuge and feasted the heroes of the four countries in the Mandarin Duck Hall of Yihui Palace.
When the Qingshitai competition was selected, the King of Shu had nothing to do, and taught the most proud Wuyi swordsmanship in his life to Dongfang Shu, who was also idle. The king of Shu tried every possible means to take her younger brother as an apprentice, but unfortunately Dongfang disliked him as the second on the master list and did not apprentice.
The Song State destroyed Shu, Liu ordered the blood to wash the Zichuan City, and the king of Shu was close to the country, none of them were spared, and only the evil that led the troops to expel the Rong people out of Shu was spared from disaster. He assassinated Liu three times but failed, so under Liu's persuasion, he raised the remnants of the four countries and went straight to Mobei Wolf City, never to return.
Shu'er sighed and turned his head to look at Lin Ying, the king of Chu who was sitting in front of the civil and military officials. Lin Ying's black hair hung down her shoulders, her white robe was spotless, her face was calm, and she was also looking at Shu'er.
Before the sad song was finished, the eyes of the two met for a moment, and then they both looked away.
After a song, Lin Ying got up and walked to the piano master and said, "Can you borrow your piano?" The widow will also play music for the king of Shu. ”
The pianist retreated, and Lin Ying sat behind the lyre and said to everyone: "The river breeze takes the mourning, and the old song sacrifices to the deceased." Although the widow has never seen His Royal Highness the King of Shu, he has long admired the chivalrous heart of the King of Shu and has long admired it. Today, the widow plays a song for the king of Shu, may he have a spirit in the sky and enjoy eternal rest, and may this sinister world be more chivalrous and brave, hot-blooded. ”
Lin Ying put her hands on the strings: "The first song that the widow is going to play today is called 'Bashu War Song', which is an ancient song that has been passed down in the land of Bashu for hundreds of years, and it has a feeling of two armies fighting and wind and rain. Now that the country of Ba is no longer there, the country of Shu has been destroyed, and I don't know how long this song can be circulated. ”
Before the words fell, the seven strings moved.
Chu Shui was originally unfazed, but he seemed to be stirred up by this song of the Bashu war.
Everyone was amazed by the piano skills of the King of Chu, Wenchen forgot to make a gift, and the military general's sword was not out of the sheath.
Lin Ying's ten fingers were already warm, accompanied by the piano music, and chanted loudly
The world is vast, and the years are boundless
The north wind is strong, and the East China Sea is clean
Nansu Xiling, the wonders of Kyushu
Immortals come and go, dragons and phoenixes are entrenched
The aura is endless, so it leads to magic obstacles
Wannianer, demon beasts are rampant
The miasma of black smoke has been entangled for thousands of years
Slay demons and eliminate demons, and strong men carry swords
Cook wine and cook, man will win the day
Heroes emerge one after another, and then there is Bashu
The two states compete for power, and a hundred years of clouds surge
Drums are beating, and the wind and snow are stacked
The war goes on and on
The people are not able to make a living, and the grass does not overwinter
Ten years after becoming a king, he pretended to repair the mountain road
The Pakistani army ambushed the soldiers, how do you know what is wrong
At the foot of the mountain, a huge flood suddenly appeared
At the bottom of the peerless peak, the waves are endless
A famous general, died overnight
The successes and failures of the past have come to naught
The river flows, and the will of heaven is difficult to disobey
The two states of Bashu will eventually be unified
In the past 100 years, the Nai River is shallow
I don't hear the war song, I only see the smoke
Shu'er had never heard Lin Ying play this song, let alone heard him recite such majestic words, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.
Lin Ying saw the admiration that flashed in Shu'er's eyes, suppressed the corners of her mouth that curved and raised, and then turned her eyes away, and said calmly: "The widow admires the King of Shu, so he held today's grand sacrifice for him. After the song was played, the widow suddenly remembered two people again, their deaths were originally worthy of a grand sacrifice, but the widow did not hold a sacrifice in the name of those two people, do you know why? ”
A military attache raised his voice and asked, "What Your Highness said, but King Wei and King Qi?" ”
Lin Ying nodded, and stared at the military attaché, for fear that she couldn't help but look at Shu'er's expression.
The military attache continued: "Weichen thinks that the country of Qi has been restored at the beginning, and all industries are waiting to be prosperous, and the king of Qi is for the righteousness of the world, personally led the troops to rescue Zhao, and led the troops to aid the Song Dynasty, he has the same chivalrous heart as the king of Shu, and he can be called a hero in the world, and it is indeed worthy of a grand sacrifice." And in order to save King Qi, King Wei jumped off the peerless peak of Xiling alone, which is even more admirable. Please forgive Weichen for being stupid, I don't know why His Royal Highness held this sacrifice in the name of the King of Shu alone? ”
Lin Ying saw that the civil and military officials were no longer answering, and knew that they were unwilling to show their words and deeds to speculate on the intentions of the King of Chu, so she said loudly: "Because the King of Shu died on the battlefield because he fell into the trap of the Rong people, and the King of Qi and King Wei were buried in Xiling, they fell into the trap of the King of Song!"
The Rong people are far away from the desert, and the Chu State is on the coast of the East China Sea, and the widow may never be able to avenge the king of Shu in this life, so he can only hold a sacrifice for him.
But the Song Kingdom is different. The State of Song is on the side of the State of Chu! In this life, the widow boasts that he can avenge the two kings of Qi Wei! When the state of Chu destroyed the state of Song, the widow would hold a sacrifice for the two kings of Qi and Wei in the jade capital! ”
All the ministers shouted: "Your Highness is wise! Long live Chiaki! ”
Lin Ying looked at Shu'er at this time, pretending to be yin and yang: "Princess Dongfang, King of Anyi, I don't know if one day, when the widow destroys the Song Dynasty, can I kill your old lover Liu?" Tsk, it's a pity that if the widow kills the father of the child in your womb, wouldn't it be very troublesome for the child in your womb to come to the widow for revenge? ”
Shu'er glared at Lin Ying fiercely, and Lin Ying immediately clapped her hands and said, "In order to avoid trouble in the future, why don't you kill the child in your womb first?" There should be such a fierce medicine in the market, right? ”
Although the ministers heard that His Royal Highness was at odds with the Eastern Princess, they never thought that His Royal Highness would be able to humiliate the Eastern Princess in such public. At this time, seeing is believing, and everyone is no longer afraid of the children of the former king, but has a trace of pity for the princess of the East and the prince.
Shu'er also pretended to swallow his anger and said: "If Your Highness kills King Song's child now, King Song will not spare Chu State." It's better to wait for His Royal Highness to really destroy the Song Kingdom, slash the King of Song, and then kill his weak children. ”
Lin Ying smiled evilly: "This is very good. ”
