Chapter 264: Proverbs (2)
Yu Kai looked embarrassed, he didn't expect that Huan Xuan, a person who is very sensitive to politics, would not be able to understand the meaning of this poem, and he had forgotten what Xie Yan taught him before, so he could only temporarily cram, and reluctantly explained.
In fact, Huan Xuan doesn't understand politics, but he doesn't understand this pre-Qin ancient style.
At this time, he saw that Yu Kai's expression was quite embarrassed, and he mistakenly thought that he didn't dare to say this unfavorable word to his face, so he hurriedly comforted him and said: "Yu Lang don't worry, you specially traveled thousands of miles to tell each other, I am grateful that you are too late, how can I resent you because you repeated this." ”
Yu Kai lowered his head and said slowly: "The first sentence is about father and son, and it alludes to your father's rebellion back then. It's just nonsense from those ignorant villagers, not what you think, since you've decided to follow you, you're naturally on your side. ”
He confessed and explained at the same time, and finally understood the meaning of the ballad euphemistically.
In general, the central idea of this ballad is that the father is rebellious, so the son is also rebellious, and this son is of course referring to Huan Xuan. And the five snakes refer to the five treacherous people who act for the tiger and help each other. The dragon returned to his hometown, saying that when Huan Xuan returned to Jingzhou, four of them would follow Huan Xuan and get his favor, while one of them would die of shame for what he had done.
Yu Kai said weakly: "This ballad is not only aimed at you, it is said that Yin Zhongkan, the assassin of Jingzhou, has already arrested many people because of this ballad, just because those people said that he was also one of the five snakes, and even more so that he was the snake that died of shame." ”
Only then did Huan Xuan realize that this ballad was not only to discredit himself, but also to provoke the relationship between himself and Yin Zhongkan.
Hagi Niang is already by her side, she can know her mind, has fame and status, and can do such a big thing, only Wang Mi, Gu Kaizhi, Yu Zhun, Yu Kai These four people, Wang Mi is his loyal ally, Gu Kaizhi is his most trusted person, and Yu Zhun Yu Kai's brothers came to Jiankang to inform themselves for this matter, these four people do not seem to be the masterminds behind this.
Who else will there be?
A flash of inspiration suddenly occurred in his mind, what if this ballad was propagated by Yin Zhongkan himself?
In this way, everything can be explained, the last time I went back to Jingzhou was because my subordinates replied that Yin Zhongkan seemed to have different intentions and was training officers and soldiers in private. Now there are people who pretend to use songs and ballads to hit their reputation in Jingzhou, why is this so like Yin Zhongkan's doing?
Because of this incident, on the one hand, he could use the excuse to avoid suspicion and alienate himself, and on the other hand, he could suppress his prestige and make the Jingzhou clan support the Yin clan to govern.
No matter how you look at it, he is the only one who benefits from this matter.
He said to Yu Kai with a solemn expression: "After you return to Jingzhou, let's secretly visit with your brother, I want to know who is behind this ballad." It is absolutely impossible to come out of nowhere, there is absolutely a reason for it, someone must be spreading this ballad, please help me find the person who caused the trouble. ”
Politely sent Yu Kai away, Huan Xuan was very uneasy in his heart, the situation here in Jiankang was unstable, although Wang Ya was temporarily restrained by him, he would turn his face at any time, and Miaoyin had not been properly placed, Xie Yan was staring at himself with fierce eyes, at this juncture, there was such a thing in Jingzhou again, he simply felt that he was lacking in skills, and he couldn't be busy at all.
After Xie An's death, it stands to reason that Xie Yan should move into the house where the head of the family lives, but he misses his father very much, so he ordered someone to take care of the courtyard where his father usually lives as it was, and he is not allowed to move at all, and naturally he will not occupy the magpie's nest and live in his father's yard.
Seeing Mo'er's panicked appearance, Su He couldn't help but blame him: "Look at your frizzy appearance, if you are seen by the master, you will have to scold you for losing your demeanor." ”
Mo'er didn't bother to talk to her, but hurriedly replied: "My sister, if the master knows my news, I'm afraid that I will be even more frizzy than me." ”
Su He's heart moved, and he asked, "But there is news about the whereabouts of the Zang girl?" ”
Mo'er replied vaguely, "Exactly." He didn't want to say more, so he quickened his steps and rushed straight to Xie Yan's inner room.
Xie Yan was really in his room, looking at the moonlight outside the window in a daze, his wide white robe was lying on the ground, looking very casual. The silver-white moonlight shone on him, and his whole body was shrouded in a soft light, making his posture even more graceful and his complexion stunning.
Although dinner had already been set, he put down his chopsticks without eating a few bites, looking preoccupied.
Mo'er stood at the door, involuntarily admiring the ethereal appearance of his master, who seemed to be not an earthly person, and inevitably sighed in his heart, it seems that such a beautiful and graceful person can only appear in the book, and now he is alive in front of himself, how much blessing he has saved in his previous life, and he can serve such an elegant and noble master in this life.
Seeing that Xie Yan didn't notice him at all, he could only knock lightly on the door, forcibly holding back the excitement in his chest, and shouting tentatively: "Master, Mo'er has something to report." ”
Xie Yan looked back when he heard the voice, and in an instant, he showed the beauty of an elegant young man, and he said lightly: "Don't be so restrained, come in and talk back if you have something." ”
Mo'er hurriedly came into the house and knelt beside him, leaned forward and whispered: "Master, the spy over there reported that he might know where the girl of the Zang family is." ”
Xie Yan's gray eyes were immediately full of brilliance, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face, and he pretended to ask indifferently, "Yes, where is it?" I've searched almost all of them in Jiankang City. ”
Mo'er hurriedly replied: "According to the people over there, Huan Fu Langjun went out that day and did not return, and that day was the day when Miaoyin Niangniang left the palace, and the Niangniang cultivation place designated by the holy decree was in the Cuihua Palace in Dongshan, which was remote and barren, if Huan Lang went there, it was likely that he would not be able to return to the city that night." ”
"Moreover, it was also found over there that Huan Lang's personal servant had returned to the house many times to take the curtains, screens, and bedding that were necessary for daily life, and from the perspective of regulation and preciousness, it was not like it was used by people of low status, they were all the best things, and only the master could use them on weekdays."
Xie Yan also agreed with his speculation in his heart, couldn't suppress the joy in his heart, and said with a smile: "In this way, Miaoyin went out of the palace this time because of Huan Xuan's protection, and Huan Xuan also hid Hagi Niang in Cuihua Palace. ”
He immediately stood up and hurriedly summoned Su He to change his clothes.
