083 Midnight visitors
It's a cool night.
The moonlight was spreading, the sky and the earth were clear, and in the silence of the courtyard, Chu Ye was lying on the couch with mink, covered with a thin quilt, and holding a stove in his hand.
Xi Hui sat not far away with Xiaoshan in his arms, in the grass, and the two of them picked up the dirt to catch crickets.
"The moon is so round today," Kosugi said as he ate the pastry, suddenly sucking his finger.
"Today is the fifteenth, and of course the fifteenth moon is round." Xi Hui smiled gently, took the little girl's fingers, and carefully wiped them with a handkerchief.
Chu Ye's brain flashed a sentence abruptly: "Every time the fifteenth moon is full, adults put the bottle under the moon, and the mouth of the bottle will naturally grow stems and leaves, bloom flowers, and maintain three days without wither............ing."
Chu Yunjin's ancient moonlight bottle
"Xi Hui," Chu Ye said, "bring the bottle from the window." ”
"What are you thinking about the bottle of moonshine?" Xi Hui smiled, "Master Chu is talking about it." ”
As she spoke, she sent the porcelain vase to Chu Ye.
The mouth of the bottle is bright and bright, not to mention the flowers and leaves, and there is not a single grass seed.
"Bottle" Chu Ye hadn't moved yet, Xiao Shan on the opposite side had already snatched the bottle over, fiddling with it in his hand with his eyes shining, turning it upside down for a while, turning it upside down for a while, and looking inside at the mouth of the bottle, his face full of curiosity.
The mouth of the bottle was deep and slender, and Kosugi couldn't see it clearly, and anxiously turned around to borrow the moonlight. Several people looked at her amusedly, and after a while, Kosugi suddenly exclaimed in surprise: "Daddy, there's something glowing inside."
She poured the bottles one by one, patted them hard, but didn't get anything out, and returned them with a wrinkled face.
Xi Hui took it in his hand, and with a dark energy, the bottle collapsed and turned into powder. She opened her five fingers, and three crystal beads lay in the palm of her snow-white hand.
"What is this?" Xi Hui was a little confused.
Chu Ye picked up one of them and put it in front of her eyes to look carefully, the size of a bead dragon's eye, the surface was brilliant, the interior was hazy, quite mysterious, she didn't know what it was for a while.
"Your Excellency," the servant came to report, "Lord Goshi asks to see you." ”
Chu Ye put the three beads into his sleeve and said, "Let him in." ”
Almost as soon as the words fell, the figure of the bamboo appeared in front of him, he was dusty, the thin smile on his lips was gone, he glanced at Chu Ye, and sighed: "My lord." ”
Chu Ye knew that the situation was not good, so he lifted the thin quilt and stood up: "Say." ”
Zhuzi said: "General Li, martyrdom." ”
Chu Ye looked up at him suddenly.
"Bamboo," Chu Ye said, "Li Shiyue has fought with her for several years, and she has not lost a single defeat, you have to think clearly before you speak." ”
"Your Excellency." Zhuzi stepped forward, "General Li fought in Lingtuo Pass, and at first the good news was frequent. Later, Beiyi changed the command, and the commander used the soldiers like a god, and the general fought with blood, and the sword was broken, and he was finally defeated. ”
He said this a little quickly, but Chu Ye heard every word clearly. She brushed the stove in her hand and said slowly: "The surname of the commander changed by Beiyi is very famous."
"I don't know." Zhu Zi said, "According to the report of the remnants, this person is not very old, about twenty-six or seven, and he was recommended and promoted by Prime Minister Beiyi Lingyun. ”
Chu Ye said: "Sima Jin didn't increase his troops."
"Not yet."
Chu Ye handed the stove to Xi Hui behind him: "Take me to see him." ”
"Pavilion Master." Xi Hui grabbed Chu Ye and frowned slightly, as if worried.
Chu Ye smiled at her: "It's so big, I, who is the prime minister, will definitely go to see Sima Jin." Be back soon. ”
Xi Hui sighed and slowly let go of his hand.
After taking two steps, his body was already drenched in cold sweat, and Chu Ye felt the fishy smell of blood constantly tumbling and rushing up to his throat, and under the strong pressure, he felt unbearable nausea.
Bamboo didn't squint, stretched out a hand to grab her arm, and with a light step, the two of them rose slightly in the air and flew towards the imperial study like a meteor.
Sima Jin knelt at the door and pressed a large number of people, and the front row was Yu Rang, Lu Zhan, Xia Duanxuan, and Xie Yi...... All of them were fully armed, and when Chu Ye fell, Yu Rang was kowtowing there: "Your Highness, please order that your ministers are willing to lead troops to Lingtuoguan to avenge General Li"
"Avenge General Lee," the crowd cried out.
Seeing Chu Ye, the cry was stagnant, and there was a huge courtyard, and the needles could be heard falling in an instant.
"My lord," Yu Rang raised his head, his eyes were red, his forehead was bruised, and he choked up, "General Li, he ......"
"Your Excellency" Lu Zhan turned to Chu Ye and kowtowed deeply, "You persuade Your Highness, Your Excellency, let us send troops"
"Adult ......"
Chu Ye's gaze lowered slightly, and slowly swept over the crowd: "Get up." ”
"Adult ......"
"Get up" Chu Ye's voice was sharp, "Look at your little bit of talent, you want to send troops to take revenge, you have the courage to take people away directly, what do you look like crying here?"
Yu Rang lowered his head, five big and three thick men, and when he heard the words, he cried loudly, and intensified.
After so many years of life and death comrades-in-arms, how can a few words heal the pain.
"Li Shiyue's death will never be settled like this, this is a promise." Chu Ye slowed down his voice and said lightly, "There is one more sentence you remember." ”
Chu Ye turned his head to look at the light shining through the window of Sima Jin's room, turned around and stepped up the steps, "The bones of the dead man are fragrant, and he is not ashamed of the world."
The moment Sima Jin saw Chu Ye and Zhuzi, he slapped Zhuzi without saying a word.
"Who told you to tell the prime minister," he said in a cold voice.
"Bamboo is guilty."
"Get out of here, take your own rod." Sima Jin said with a cold face.
"Yes."
Bamboo turned around, Chu Ye looked at his back and said, "Don't listen to him, you go directly to my house, and I will look for you afterwards." ”
Sima Jin glanced at Chu Ye and did not refute, so Zhu Zi turned around and saluted, and then retreated.
Chu Ye walked to the window, stretched out his hand to pull up the curtain, and then came to Sima Jin's desk, and took a notebook to read.
"Five days ago, all the officials guarding the city were controlled, and I only learned afterwards that you took Li Shiyue to the southeast." Sima Jin's voice came from behind him.
"I'm going to investigate." Chu Ye said.
"Don't you need to consult me about what you do now?"
Chu Ye glanced at him: "What are you murderous?"
Sima Jin turned his head suddenly: "Li Shiyue is dead, he has never been defeated." Xiao Yezi, do you want to say, you are going to Lingtuoguan, you have to fulfill your promise, and explain to those soldiers outside I tell you, don't even think about it"
Chu Ye shook off the fold and sneered, "What are you doing when you bring me back to this Western Jin Dynasty court?" When Sima Jin was looking at his mother like a vase, I went to determine what happened to Lingtuoguan."
Sima Jin clasped Chu Ye's wrist, his eyebrows seemed to be covered with frost, and his strength was much greater unconsciously, Chu Ye was pinched by him, and the strong pressure of qi and blood unconsciously loosened, choked into his throat, and coughed violently.
Sima Jin immediately changed color: "Xiaoyezi, don't be angry, I ......"
"Don't let go yet." Chu Ye wiped his face and didn't have a good airway.
Sima Jin silently helped her sit down, turned his hand against her back, and a warm current poured into her body. Chu Ye slowed down for a while, felt much better, and then spoke: "Sima Jin, I'm not talking to you angrily, I have a reason to go." ”
Sima Jin was silent, and Chu Ye continued: "I don't want to hide it from you, Beiyi Soldier Master, it is very likely that he is my old friend. ”
Sima Jin said: "I know who it is"
Chu Ye said: "When I see him, I'll tell you." ”
Sima Jin said: "How can I rest assured that you have a body like yours." ”
Chu Ye said: "Naturally, I won't go into battle in person. ”
Sima Jin shook his head: "I don't believe it." ”
He smiled bitterly: "But if you don't believe it, I don't dare to stop you." When you leave, I will go with you. ”
Chu Ye raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay." ”
Sima Jin called Fang's father-in-law, spread out the edict on the desktop, and put pen to paper: "Between the flowers, Yu Rang, Lu Zhan accompanies him"
"Stay among the flowers." Chu Ye said, "He has other uses. ”
Sima Jin gestured and raised his head: "What do you mean ......?"
"I have long said that there are internal troubles in the DPRK. You go to Lingtuoguan, at least a few weeks, at most a few months, the bright throne is placed there, how can they not rebel" Chu Ye stood up and slowly lowered his hand, "That Beiyi soldier master, but everything has been calculated, why don't we come up with a plan"
Not long after Sima Jin's will was issued, someone asked to see him.
"Your Highness, Elder Song Guo, please talk to the Prime Minister." When the other party enters the door, he bows three times and knocks nine times, and the etiquette is the ultimate.
The old man of the Song Kingdom is highly respected, and he is a lonely man, so he is now authorized to live in the palace and given the ink pavilion, which sounds really elegant.
"It's so late, hasn't the old man slept yet?"
"Not yet." The man said respectfully, "The chariot is already prepared outside, Your Highness, Your Excellency, please come here." ”
Sima Jin frowned: "The Prime Minister is unwell, so you don't have to go." ”
"Your Highness, the villain was ordered to pass the word, this ......" The man showed a look of embarrassment.
"The elders of the country invite each other, how can it be reasonable not to go." Chu Ye walked to the door and glanced back at Sima Jin, "Let's go, don't let Song Guo wait for a long time." ”
The car drove all the way to the south, driving into the apricot forest, and the small pavilion in the depths was half exposed, looking at the rooftop, and the dark gray curtains danced lightly in the wind.
There were only two maids sweeping the floor in front of the small pavilion, and when they saw the two of them getting down, they bowed their heads and continued to do their own business.
The door was open, Chu Ye and Sima Jin walked in, they didn't see anyone, and the people accompanying them made a gesture: "The elder is in the inner hall."
When we came to the inner hall, Song Guolao really stood there, with his back to us, and said in a deep voice: "Your Highness, you are here." ”
"I've seen the elders." Sima Jin made a gesture, and his voice was faint.
"The old man can't afford His Highness's gift." Elder Song turned around slowly, he was stroking the golden whip given by the emperor in his hand, and a pair of clear and cloudy eyes swept over the two of us, "I heard that His Royal Highness is preparing to drive the royal expedition in person, okay, it is quite the style of His Majesty back then." ”
Chu Ye rolled his eyes in his heart, Sima Jin's unsuccessful father came out to eat, drink and Lazar to summon the concubine, and he had the demeanor of a fart!
"Li Shiyue is dead, and our Western Jin Dynasty has lost a tiger general." Elder Song sighed and began to regret, and then his words changed, and his eyes locked on Chu Ye, "General Li went to Lingtuoguan, but he was ordered by Prime Minister 1"
Chu Ye said: "Exactly. ”
Song Guolao said: "Prime Minister, you have something to say"
Chu Ye smiled generously: "There is nothing to say." ”
Elder Song Guo snorted: "The Prime Minister has been away from the dynasty for three years, and now he has lost another general, so it will be difficult to convince the public when he goes to Lingtuoguan." ”
Chu Ye laughed: "With His Royal Highness here, how can you not convince the public"
