Chapter 390: Lush Reeds (I)
There is a large area of reeds outside the Linjiang city of Chu State. Although it is connected to a tributary of Chushui, because of the dense reeds, especially in the season when the reeds bloom, it is very prosperous, so ships rarely enter this labyrinth of reeds. The strife between the soldiers and the family also avoided this reed, for fear that in the maze, the offense and defense would be easy to change, and they would be plotted by others.
Liu Jing, the king of the Song Dynasty, issued a letter of state, and scheduled to meet with the princess of Chu Dongfang Shu in this reed swing today, and the beautiful name said: Invite each other to enjoy the moon and spend the festival together.
Therefore, the reeds have long been filled with the staggered and orderly Chu and Song armies. In Linjiang City, there are layers of guards, and the people are not allowed to hold the Mid-Autumn Festival market as in previous years.
Liu Ying and Xue Fan went through investigation, and finally entered Linjiang City, but seeing that there was no half-festival appearance in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, Liu Ying asked Xue Fan to inquire what happened.
Xue Fan casually found a kind-faced scholar to ask. The scholar happily said to Xue Fan: "Listening to the little brother's accent, it's not our Chu people, nor is it a Song person?" No wonder you don't know what day it is! ”
Xue Fan looked dazed: "Please also ask Brother Tai to teach." ”
The scholar smiled: "I don't see that you are very old, but you are literary." On the surface, it's a storm. You and your brother traveled all the way to Linjiang from afar, you should have heard that the King of Song next door has a deep affection for our princess of Chu Kingdom, right? A few years ago, the two of them had an awkward quarrel, our princess of Chu took her and the daughter of the king of Song back to her parents' house, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the king of Song bowed his head and admitted his mistake, and personally went to Linjiang to pick up their mother and daughter back to the Song country for reunion. The king of Song came here and brought a lot of Song soldiers, in order to prevent the Song soldiers from making trouble, our Mid-Autumn Festival bazaar had to stop. ”
Xue Fan said: "It turns out that King Song's admission of mistake is so big. ”
The scholar laughed: "King Song ate his brother-in-law in Anyi and lost one battle after another, and he couldn't defeat our Chu State in a tough battle, so he had to resort to such treacherous methods." As we all know, this princess of our Chu State also had heavy troops, but she didn't fight or like to fight, she just wanted to be safe with the Song State, and she regarded herself and the daughter of the King of Song as hostages and mortgaged them in the Zhaohuang Palace of our Chu State, so as to stop the war and stop the war, so that she could be peaceful in the past few years. Since the king of Song was determined to send troops to attack Chu, he had to take his heart's meat home before the war. ”
Xue Fan asked: "Will the princess of Chu return to Song with King Song?" ”
The scholar sighed, "Maybe." The king of Song wanted to unify the countries, and the battle of Chu and Song was imminent. The princess of Chu has been hiding in Zhaohuang Palace with the daughter of King Song, and this trick has been used to the limit. It is impossible for King Song to have the patience to wait for her to change her mind, and Song Jun's grain and grass can't wait. After the winter, the battle of the Song State against Chu had to wait until the spring of next year, and the Song people obviously did not want to spend it year after year. At this time, the arrow of the Song Kingdom, since the arrow is on the string, has to be sent, so the princess of the Chu State can only return to the Song Kingdom with the King of Song, so that the bow with the arrow can be intercepted. ”
Xue Fan frowned: "The husband and wife of the Heavenly Family are vindictive, and it has become a war between the two countries, which is really unusual." ”
The scholar shook his head: "Little brother, you said the opposite." This is the state affairs of Chu and Song, and the king of Song is a kingship madman, he used to use the princess of Chu State, but now, he still uses it. He deliberately confuses state affairs with family affairs, but he is just decorating a layer of human affection outside his ambitions. The villain of King Song came to Chu, which really ruined the beauty of this year's Mid-Autumn Festival. ”
The scholar's words are all in Liu Ying's ear.
Liu Ying was silent.
When I was in the Zhao realm, listening to the Zhao people talking about the battle of Chu and Song was like talking about the quarrel between the neighbors after tea and dinner. When I was in the Song realm, I listened to the Song people talk about the battle between Chu and Song, and I felt that the Song people's feelings for the Song king were not only respectful, but also loved, and even protected. In the mouth of the Song Dynasty, their Song King is not only proficient in poetry, literature and piano arts, but also an invincible warrior. Even if the king of Song was involved in Chu's personal affairs, the Song people were still willing to help the king of Song regain his wife and daughter, just to repay the king of Song for his great kindness to the Song kingdom from birth to death and dedication. Now that he has arrived in the Chu realm, he has heard the Chu people talk about it, but he has said that the king of Song is an ambitious and treacherous villain.
In the discussion of the world, it is difficult to distinguish between the good and evil of the Song king, and it is also difficult to distinguish the wisdom and foolishness of the Chu king, so they have to focus on the fierce and good war of Dongfang and the trip to serve the country loyally. Under the aura of these three, Dongfang Shu, the princess of Chu State, looked dim. In the past few years, she has indeed lived in a simple place, neither leading soldiers, nor taking care of politics, and living in Zhaohuang Palace to raise her daughter without any dispute, and the world will gradually forget her, forgetting that she was the richest man in the self-made Chen State, forgetting that she was the female general of Qi with fresh clothes and angry horses, forgetting that she was the top of the beauty list, Liu Ying, the king of Qi, the wife of the Ming media, forgetting that she led the troops to save Zhao, and was also the life-saving benefactor of King Dugu of Zhao, but only remembered that she was gossip with the King of Song, and the unclear and unclear ......
Shu'er, I remember all of those.
I still remember, the song you sang to me on the golden beach of the East China Sea-
My heart is my heart
Sijun so far
Chu water meanders
East into the Xian River
It's all my will
Tossing and turning
Lush reeds
Catkins flying
It's all about leaving
No tears
Immortal snow silkworm
Silver filaments are tens of millions
It's all my thoughts
Lingering
I'm here today
Walk slowly
I'm here today
Left and right
This is the heart of the king
It can still be used to this day
My heart is my heart
Can also be concentric
……
In the past few years, you are willing to hide in the rumors, are you like me, the more painful you are, the more silent you are?
Jun's heart is my heart, and I think of you so far. In time for the Mid-Autumn Festival, I finally walked to Linjiang. Unfortunately, it is not me who meets you today.
Once King Song was jealous of me, I didn't understand it. And today, I was dazed and helpless, and I could only hear a few words about you from the mouths of others, and suddenly, I understood him back then.
……
In the reeds, Liu Jing, the king of Song, was sitting in the boat feeling the wind blowing the reeds and the water waves swaying for a moment of tranquility.
In the reeds not far from the bow of the boat, two egrets flew up, and Ling Fei, the close guard sitting beside him, immediately alerted: "Someone is coming." ”
Liu Jing didn't care, turned his head and asked the little girl sitting next to him eating candied fruit: "Xiaoen, guess who it is?" ”
Xiao En smiled sweetly: "It must be my mother who came to see my father in advance." My mother is so anxious, and I don't know if she misses me more or her father more. ”
Liu Jing fed Xiao En a candied fruit: "I don't know, does Xiao En prefer your mother, or do you prefer me as a father?" ”
Xiao Ento thought about it for a while, and replied seriously: "Daddy came to Chu State with all kinds of difficulties and dangers, and it took a lot of effort to find me, so I am naturally grateful to Daddy. At the beginning, I didn't believe that you were my father of King Song, I didn't believe how you would personally come to the Chu Palace to pick me up and go out to play, I didn't believe that you were really my father with great powers. In the past few days, you have given me everything I want to eat, play, and even what I can't think of, and I will no longer doubt that you are my father of King Song. However, if I say that I like you more, I still like my mother more, these days when it is novel, I do like you, but I grew up with my mother, no one can beat my mother, so after a few days I am used to seeing you, I will still like my mother more. ”
Liu Jing laughed and asked again, "Then who do you like the most compared to your two uncles?" ”
Xiao En thought about it and said: "Xiao Ying is my best friend, he is not my own uncle, I never call him uncle, nor do I call him His Royal Highness." My own uncle Dongfang is very good at martial arts, did he capture many soldiers under his father? Daddy looks at Xiao En's face, don't be angry with him. After Xiao En went back, he would immediately beg him to release his father's Song soldiers. ”
Liu Jing saw that the awning boat in the distance was gradually getting closer, so he sighed, and finally asked, "So, who would Xiao En prefer to go with Daddy compared to them?" ”
Xiao En's eyes rolled, and she smiled brightly: "I will naturally go with my mother!" My mother told me that she was playful when she was a child and ran away from home for many years, so she never accompanied her own mother, who was my grandmother. When she came home, she wanted to stay with my grandmother, but she couldn't stay with her for too long. I'm sure I'm not as stupid as my mother, I'm just greedy for a few days, and I'll always be with her when I go back. ”
The canopy boat got closer, and Xiao En happily waved to the people in the boat, shouting as he waved, "Xiao Ying! Xiaoying! Is my mother here too? ”
Lin Ying, the king of Chu, also beckoned to Xiao En: "Your mother will come later!" I'll first come to meet your powerful Daddy Song! ”
Liu Jing saw that the person who came was only Lin Ying and a boatman, so he instructed Ling Fei: "You take Xiao En to rest in another boat, and I will say a few words to the king of Chu alone." ”
Ling Fei then took Xiao En away, and said before leaving, "Your Highness be careful. ”
At this time, Lin Ying had already stepped on King Song's ship uninvited, and was saluting King Song with a smile: "His Royal Highness King Song, I didn't expect the sun in our Chu land to be so poisonous that it tanned you. ”
Liu Jing's face was like frost, and he replied: "The king of Chu has lost weight, it seems that he has to work hard inside and outside, and he must do what he can." ”
