Chapter 14: Out of the Palace
Ah Zhu and several of her subordinates saw that the king of the black bat had fled, and the other party was menacing, they were many of them, and they had few people, so they obediently lost their weapons, and let them be taken back to the Yin Shang Dynasty by Ah Bing, and knelt in the palace of Sobo Fan's ministers. "This person is the legendary Azhu!" Ah Bing whispered to Sobo Fanchen, "I guess that's the same." Sobo Fan said.
"The person kneeling in the audience - Dog, does the black bat have a second foothold?" Soberfan interrogated.
"I ...... I don't ...... either Know. Aju replied nervously.
"Do you really not know or do you not know?" Sobfan asked, but Aju was silent. "If you confess his second foothold, we will let you live, otherwise you will be put in prison and never released." Suo Bofan continued, Ah Zhu was taken aback when he heard this, and tears fell down, "I really don't know, please let me go." Suo Bofan looked at Azhu in the audience, thinking that this woman was a little different from the rumors, didn't she say that her daughter was as ruthless as a man? Why did she look so timid at this time? couldn't help but feel compassion and motioned for her to be released.
"Prime minister! This woman has done all the bad things, don't be deceived by her appearance! Ah Bing persuaded on the side.
"And what do you mean?" Suo Bofan asked.
"Put her in jail, or it won't be ruled out that she will join the black bat again." Ah Bing reminded that Sobo Fan thought about it, and it was better to detain him for the time being. This matter was reported to the ears of Emperor Wuding, and he ordered Suo Bofan to investigate the whereabouts of the black bat and arrest him.
Thousands of horses in the palace, recently Emperor Wuding was worried about the country and the people, and gradually felt brainless and tired, so he wanted to go out for a walk, one to observe the people's feelings, and the other to scatter his heart. He first went to Yuanlu Courtyard to visit the woman, and the woman was very happy to see Emperor Wuding coming. Emperor Wuding first asked the woman to take him to inspect the troops she led, only to see that the soldiers led by the woman were strong and energetic, and after some practice, they were resting, and when they saw the Emperor Wuding coming to inspect, they knelt down to greet the king. "All the soldiers are flat!" Emperor Wuding motioned for them to get up. After that, the woman accompanied Emperor Wuding to sit under the Bodhi tree in the courtyard, "Why did the king come to Yuanlu Courtyard today?" The woman asked curiously.
"Actually, Lone came out this time to go to the Jiangnan area for a private visit." After Emperor Wuding finished speaking, he bent down and picked up a Bodhi leaf and stared at it for a long time, "Why don't you accompany me." ”
"The emperor's will and concubines dare not disobey." The woman replied, so she changed into her costume and accompanied Emperor Wuding on his tour, and they were incarnated as an ordinary couple, sitting in a carriage, and the people were in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere. The carriage drove through a dark red stone paved road, and on both sides of the road there were some exotic flowers and plants, exuding the fragrance of nature. The road was winding, and some farmers were hesitating along with carts full of goods. The carriage "squeaked" on this stone road, Emperor Wuding thought about the glory of the Xia Dynasty in the past and the sudden decline and demise, compared to the great Yin Shang he is now in charge of, the long road is long, he will go up and down, how can he not be under pressure and worried? Emperor Wuding thought and thought like this, they passed by a farmland, and people were working hard in the fields.
"King, everything is normal, no vision." The woman couldn't help but say.
"Yes! I was a little relieved by the sight. Emperor Wuding said. But they had not gone far, when suddenly a ragged man fell to his knees in front of the carriage and blocked their way, so that the coachman had to stop the carriage with a whoosh.
"Little Ge, why did the carriage stop?" King Wuding asked.
"Ding Ye, there was a beggar kneeling in front of him, blocking the way, and he was almost trampled by the horses!" After Xiao Gezi finished speaking in a panic, he jumped out of the carriage, and after coming to the carriage, he helped Emperor Wuding get out of the carriage, and Emperor Wuding came to the beggar and asked him, "What are you going to do here?" Threatening us with our lives? ”
"I'm seriously ill, and I have a three-year-old child at home, and I can't open the pot. I beg you to have mercy, to reward some shellfish, and to go back and buy some millet to stockpile. Otherwise, both adults and children will go hungry and sick. The beggar burst into tears and knelt down. Emperor Wuding's mood suddenly gloomy when he heard this, he didn't expect that there were such embarrassed people in Da Yin Shang at the moment, which made his heart cold. He motioned to the little lattice to give him a bag of shells, and the beggar was overjoyed to see them. He stood up with the bag of shells in his hand and turned around and ran, and Emperor Wuding looked at him and shook his head, sighed, and continued to get into the carriage.
The carriage hurried forward for some distance and stopped in front of an inn. They got out of the carriage, and the little lattice yelled at the shopkeeper, "Shop! Serve us some good wine and food. ”
Hearing this, the shopkeeper greeted him with vegetable bones, "Guest officer, look! Our store's best dishes are recorded here, you can order as you like. Xiao Gezi didn't look at it, so he said that they were all up.
"Huh?" The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and was surprised when he heard this, "You are only three people, do you want to eat so much?" ”
"Why don't you have a business yet?" Xiao Gezi looked at him and asked, the store was stunned, it is a good thing to have business, but this is too contrary to common sense, if you can't eat it and don't pay, what can you do, you can't help but worry.
"Xiaoge, let's come out and do everything simply." Emperor Wuding said to Xiao Gezi, and Xiao Gezi ordered three meat dishes and three side dishes. The shopkeeper was relieved and went down to give them food, but he felt that the person who came was extraordinary, and the tone of his speech was official. After a while, the food came up one after another, tired of eating the food in the palace, and then tasting a few small dishes of this folk, the taste was really special, Emperor Wuding and the woman ate several bowls one after another.
At night, they stayed here, accustomed to the palace, and then in this inn in the countryside, which was very stylish. There are many towering trees growing next to this inn, and the leaves make the sound of "sand, sand, sand", and the sound of the flute comes from a distance, and the sound of the "sand" of the leaves looks ethereal and tactful, as if playing a song of nature. The woman lies on the bed, closes her eyes and listens to the sound, and cleanses her soul. "Ding Ye, listen! This is not much worse than the music they played. The woman said happily to Emperor Wuding.
"Yes! Just don't know who the guy is? Emperor Wuding said.
"If you want to see his true face of Lushan, you can only let Xiao Gezi go out to find it." The woman suggested.
"Empty Xiangsha has not been doing well recently, and it is not impossible to transfer another musician into the palace and change the taste from time to time." After Emperor Wuding finished speaking, he went to the next room and knocked on the door of the small lattice. After a day of running, Xiao Gezi was already very tired and was drowsy, when he heard a knock on the door outside, he lay on the bed and asked lazily, "Who?" ”
"It's me, Ding Ye!" Emperor Wuding replied, and when Xiao Gezi heard that it was the king, he was bounced up like a spring, and quickly opened the door for Emperor Wuding and invited him into the room.
"Master Ding, it's so late, is there anything else?" Little Grid asked.
"Listen, what's that sound outside?" Emperor Wuding looked at Xiao Gezi and asked.
"What sound?" Xiao Gezi pricked up his ears and couldn't hear anything, "The slave is dull and can't hear anything." ”
"The sound of the flute ......," said Emperor Wuding, and the little lattice was close to the window and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a pleasant sound of the flute, as if it came from the woods.
"Could it be that Ding Ye is interested in this flute sound?" Little Grid asked.
"That's right, you go out and look for it, find this person, give him this domino, and let him go to Kong Xiangsha, and Kong Xiangsha will arrange him a position as a musician. Since then, he has been a musician in my palace, playing the for our great Yin Shang. As he spoke, Emperor Wuding handed Xiao Gezi a domino, and Xiao Gezi took the domino, put on his clothes, put on a hat and went out.
