Chapter 18 The Artist Doesn't Sell His Body
Liu Ai has handed the bamboo slip to the Liao father-in-law on the side, and Liao's father-in-law did not dare to take it, but under Liu Ai's signal, he also took a look at the content of the book on the bamboo slip.
"You say it's a happy event?" Liu Ai has put the bamboo slips on the case, glanced at the horizon that was already half dusk, yawned, and dealt with a day's business, this incident finally drove away all fatigue, whether it was true or not, for Liu Ai, this is a good thing.
"The phoenix gathered in Anqiu and Chunyu in Beihai must be God's reward for Your Majesty's disaster relief, Your Majesty Shengming, and the Han Dynasty is prosperous!" Father-in-law Liao hurriedly knelt aside to congratulate Liu Ai.
Although Liu Ill already knows that there is a bit of falsehood in his words, but this is also the effect he wants, an earthquake, so that people's hearts are panicked, and the assembly of phoenixes can reunite people's hearts, this group of phoenixes came in time, is giving Liu Ill a good reason to calm the hearts of the people in the world, from the first three years of the fierce, to the first four years of the earthquake, Liu Ill has also been very troubled.
"The cabinet is ordered to draft a decree that the phoenix will be gathered in Anqiu, Beihai, and Chun in two places, which is a blessing from heaven to the Han Dynasty, and it is ordered that the division will be exempted from land rent and taxes in various places for one year!" After issuing the Zhao order, Liu Yi waved his sleeves and walked out of the propaganda room.
"The days are growing, and the sun has not yet set." Liu Yi was already refreshed, and his mood was also very good, "What is the queen doing these days?" At the end of the sentence, Liu Yi smiled at the corner of his lips, it was funny to think about it, what else could Huo Chengjun do in Jiaofang Palace? Then he walked towards the Jiaofang Palace.
When Liu Yi had arrived at the Jiaofang Palace, Huo Chengjun was hesitating, whether he should go to the Xuan Room to find Liu Yi to explain the collision that day for no reason, but he heard the screaming voice of the eunuch singing in his ears, and he came back to his senses in surprise, and when he got up to greet the foreign minister, Liu Yi had already sat down in the hall, looking at Huo Chengjun who came in a hurry.
"Meet Your Majesty." Huo Chengjun saluted slightly, with a little joy at the arrival of Liu Ill, but also with a little trepidation, for fear that he would settle accounts after coming to the autumn, and the source of all this panic was just that he didn't know enough about Liu Ill.
"No courtesy." Liu Ill has not had Huo Chengjun's hundreds of turns, "If I don't come, are you going to wait like this?" At first, I didn't think about it so much, but with the change in Huo Chengjun's face, Liu Ying naturally thought of the unpleasantness of that day, thinking that this girl was stubborn enough, and she really waited for herself to come over.
When Huo Chengjun heard this, he was first surprised, "Cheng Jun knew that he had offended His Majesty that day, but he was afraid that if he asked to see His Majesty, he would make Your Majesty dissatisfied." "If you talk about finding a reason for yourself, Huo Chengjun's reason is really not bad.
"Then I'm here, are you dissatisfied?" looked at Huo Chengjun, who hurriedly shook his head, and successfully pleased Liu Aiji, and no longer continued to dwell on this matter, "I have a happy event to tell you, are you willing to hear it?" Liu Yi got up and got closer, narrowing the distance between him and Huo Chengjun.
"Happy event?" Regarding the word happy event, Huo Chengjun really didn't know, whether he should be happy or not, a little expectant and a little confused, staring with bright eyes, just waiting for Liu Aiji's answer.
Huo Chengjun's mind was difficult to hide from Liu Ai, shaking his head and chuckling, he didn't lose her appetite and told her everything.
In fact, Liu Yi no longer understands why the first thing that comes to mind is to go to Jiaofang Hall to tell Huo Chengjun, when he sees that she is also excited and happy about this matter, the joy in his heart is greater, and the tenderness in his eyes is more and more intense, Liu Yi already knows that he has never hated Huo Chengjun, but he thinks that he just doesn't hate it, it's just a chess piece to deal with Huo Guang, but he doesn't want to, the chess piece will also have feelings after holding it for a long time.
When Liu Ai's edict was transmitted to the cabinet, Huo Guang already knew about it, and wanted to ask for the decree again tomorrow morning, but he never thought that Liu Ai had already made a good decision, and Huo Guang could clearly feel that Liu Ai had become more and more expecting himself to be in power, and he was also taking back his rights little by little, cultivating his own people little by little, and smiled clearly, and did not say much.
Huo Guang even had a little luck, he never thought about rebellion, and what he wouldn't do before, he wouldn't touch it now, and now he has more things to take into account, but it is unknown how much time God has given him.
"Father-in-law borrowed a step to speak." Huo Guang is most concerned about how his youngest daughter lives in the palace, it is easy to see the people around the emperor, how can he be willing to do it without asking, "The father-in-law is busy, and the old man does not beat around the bush, can the father-in-law know how the queen mother is in the palace?" Huo Xian went diligently before, but since he was taught a lesson by Huo Guang, he has received a lot, so it is difficult to know Huo Chengjun's recent situation from her.
"The general can rest assured, Your Majesty and the Queen Mother are Luanfeng and Ming." The person who can serve by the emperor's side is clever, and he doesn't need Huo Guang to say much, so he said the answer that Huo Guang wanted to know.
"Zimeng, you really have to worry about state affairs and family affairs, no wonder since Your Majesty was established, after you married a daughter in Huofu, your body is not as good as before." Zhang Anshi is half joking and half ridiculing, he and Bing Ji both know how much Huo Guang loves Huo Chengjun, but they don't know that they can't let go of it until now.
Huo Guang didn't say anything, but Bing Ji, who was also in the cabinet, understood what Huo Guang was worried about, and patted Huo Guang's shoulder with a rough palm, "Zimeng, the storm has passed, why worry about the coming day?" Bing Ji thought that Xu Pingjun's death had been decided, that is, the world was peaceful, and Liu Ai had already been established, looking at his current political actions, this matter was over.
Han Zeng was just listening to the conversation that the three of them understood on the side, Bing Ji's words, not Han Zeng's already doubtful heart, caused waves, and then looked at Huo Guang looking at Bing Ji's smile, and there was more exploration in his eyes, but he didn't show half a point on his face, as for the words from Liu Yi's order, Huo Guang would arrange it, and he didn't have to worry about it, so it didn't take long for him to leave the cabinet and go freely and chicly.
"The nobleman is still the old place?" Han Zeng quickly whipped all the way to the remote courtyard "Luoyinxuan" that he had been to with Huo Chengjun at that time, Han Zeng had already been a frequent visitor to this Luoyinxuan, and he was in this capacity, his place had always been reserved for him, this Luoyinxuan was actually a mixed place, so he could also get more information, which was also the reason why Han Zeng liked to come here.
"Old place!" After the guy laid out the dishes for him, Han Zeng did unexpectedly come and said, "Who is the girl who sings the best song here, wouldn't it be a disappointment if you have wine and no songs?" ”
Han Zeng's words made the guy who stood with his hands down and was about to go out surprised, Han Zeng came a lot of times, but every time he didn't have this habit, he only liked one person to be clean, so the people in the inn would not be uninteresting, but he didn't think that he still had such a request today, "Nobleman, there is, but because the nobleman has not said it before, I am afraid that he wants to snatch people from other guests, this ......" Everyone is a smart person, and the guy also believes that Han Zeng understands what he means.
Sure enough, Han Zeng picked out two ingots of silver, one large and one small, and put them on the table, "The big one is for the girl, and the small one is for you to thank you." "Businessman, it's just a transaction, in this world, I'm not afraid of spending more silver, I'm afraid of things that can't be bought with money, so Han Zeng is also very generous and happy this time.
The man hurriedly smiled and picked up the two ingots of silver from Table Mountain, weighed the weight, and his smile grew, "Wait a minute, the little one will come with the girl who will sing a little song for you!" He left the wing room and went to find the most beloved girl.
The fellow was also very efficient, and it wasn't long before a girl with a lute in her hand and a face knocked on the door; Luoyinxuan was originally prepared for people who listened to music, and there were very few people like Han Zeng who only listened to things and didn't listen to music, so there was always a curtain separating the people who played music from the guests.
When the guy introduced people into Han Zeng's room, he had already put down the curtain, and the woman behind the curtain gently sat down and opened her lips: "What kind of music do you want to listen to?" ”
Han Zeng played with the glass cup in his hand, watching the amber liquid swirl in the cup, but it didn't overflow, and he didn't respond to the girl's words for a long time, as if he was really thinking about what kind of music he wanted to listen to.
The girl behind the curtain, seeing that Han Zeng didn't order what song she wanted to listen to, had to say, "If the noble person hasn't thought about it, the little woman can play a song that the guests here often order?" She has also met people who don't know the pipa at all, but they have to teach her to play it, the guests can't name the song, but the money received has not been returned, so she can only play a song for them at will, she thinks that Han Zeng may also be one of those people.
Just when she was about to play, she listened to Han Zengdao, "There are new songs in Chang'an City, if the girl knows and knows, she might as well play the new songs. ”
"New songs? The little woman is stupid, can you give you some advice? ”
"For example, the ballad ......" Han Zeng drank the liquid in his hand, and a pair of Ling eyes seemed to be able to see through the curtain the person holding the pipa, after thinking about it, Han Zeng thought that many true and false, and even taboo things, would find some clues in those folk songs, so he had this interest.
"In Chang'an City, there are many literati and scholars, and there are new songs and ballads, I don't know what the nobles are referring to?"
"But what about Huo Mansion?" Han Zeng didn't hide his eyes, but the person behind the curtain was shocked.
"General Huo is a meritorious hero, how can he put these nonsense things in a small place and let others entertain them, and ask the nobles to change them." When it comes to Huo Fu, he is a little more energetic, who knows what his purpose is, whether he is the person sent by Huo Fu to investigate, no matter what, and the important ministers of the court, they are categorically unwilling, they would rather lose this business, than take risks, maybe one day because of this ballad, Luoyinxuan will cease to exist, and even a small life is difficult to protect, and the person who sells the art does not sell his life.
"I only listen to the Huo Mansion, as for what, I didn't ask for it, if the girl has other concerns, she can dispel it, if it is inconvenient here, you can also ...... to my house."
