Chapter Forty-Eight: Guan Yu Face Saint
After the early dynasty, all the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty bowed and withdrew from the Chengguang Palace, and only Liu Xie was still sitting on the court. After everyone had retreated, he opened his mouth and said, "Let him go to the temple." ”
The attendant pushed open the door of the hall, and the sunlight outside the hall shone into the Chengguang Hall. Under the light, a man stepped into the main hall, and the attendants saluted respectfully, and then closed the door of the temple. The hall was so quiet that only the sound of Liu Xie's crown and the footsteps of the comers could be heard.
The comer walked calmly and slowly entered. When he got close to his eyes, Liu Xie saw his appearance clearly - tall and burly, wearing a slightly old green robe, wearing a green scarf and soaphorn hat, sharp eyebrows, a face like a heavy jujube, and a black beard on his cheeks (1). I saw that the people who came did not squint, and bowed down proudly: "Hedong Guan Yunchang, meet Your Majesty." ”
Liu Xie hurriedly got up and left his seat and helped the person in front of him. "General Guan has worked hard here, how are the two sisters-in-law? I loved loyal and righteous people very much in my life, and I was very moved when I heard that the general assisted the emperor's uncle, and personally braved the arrow stone (2), and was born and died. Now that the general is about to cross from the conquest of the official, I set up a banquet in the Qing Banquet Palace, and I want to get drunk with the general, and I hope that the general will not refuse. ”
"Thanks to Your Majesty Hongfu, the two sisters-in-law are in good health...... It's just that the minister is a general, and his status is low, I'm afraid this banquet will ......" Guan Yu was about to politely decline, Liu Xie turned around, lowered his voice, and intercepted Guan Yu's next words with only one sentence. "Yun Chang, I can help you find the whereabouts of Uncle Huang. It's just the prime minister's generous gift, I'm afraid you have long forgotten the agreement in Taoyuan, and forgot your eldest brother and third brother. Could it be that Qing wants to live and die with this Cao Mengde? ”
When Guan Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "Your Majesty, Yu Su reads "Spring and Autumn" (3) every day. I also know that the daughter of Zhenlie, who does not serve the second husband, is a loyal and upright person, does not matter the two masters, Yu and the eldest brother and the third brother take care of each other, looking forward to the reunion day and night, only looking forward to reunion, and there is no second heart! During this time, the prime minister treated me with kindness, and Yu Congzheng crossed the official crossing, just to repay the grace of this encounter, and there was no other thought. I hope Your Majesty will see it! Guan Yu said, and there was some sparkle in his slender eyes. Of course, all this was seen by Liu Xie.
"I misunderstood the general. This is very good, the general will rest first, Shen Shi, I will wait for you to come to the Qingyan Palace for a banquet. ”
Mo Yan hugged Liu Cheng and walked around the palace garden with Yu Niang and Chunyi. More than half a month passed, Mo Yan was uncomfortable in the Jiaofang Palace, so after saying something, Yu Niang relented and agreed to her leaving the Jiaofang Palace.
March is the time when spring is full of purple and red, but don't let down this full of spring. "Cheng'er, do you think this flower looks good?" While admiring Mo Yan, he didn't forget to tease Liu Cheng in his arms, only to see him open his eyes and grin. Mo Yan was afraid that he would be too young to stand the smell of these pollen, so he didn't dare to get too close to the flowers.
"It's only been less than a month, and the little prince has grown up a little, and I'm looking forward to the time when the little prince walks and talks."
"He grows up very fast, not to mention spring, I can't wait for him to speak."
"I always feel ...... His Royal Highness is very gentle, and some are not quite like His Highness in the eyes of Chunyi. ”
"Chunyi, you mean I wasn't gentle at all before?"
"Nope! His Royal Highness treats us very well, but if you treat the little prince with gentleness...... It would be nice to give a little to Your Majesty. Chunyi's words became softer and softer, and the last few words were like a whisper, and only she could hear them.
"Your Highness, you promised Yu Niang, only came out for a short while, Your Highness's body has not healed, and you can't be out for too long." Yu Niang reminded her.
"I see."
Mo Yan hugged Liu Cheng high, and then went down, Liu Cheng bit his little hand and smiled happily at his mother, Mo Yan couldn't control the joy on his face, and kissed him lightly on his little face.
There was the sound of footsteps behind them, and the three of them looked in the direction of the sound together—not far from the tree stood a tall man, with a burly body, a slightly old green robe, a green scarf and a soaphorn hat, and a face like a red date, and he had a beautiful hair that was even blacker than that of ordinary men. "Who is this person? How to walk around the garden. Chunyi looked at the man with a questioning face, Mo Yan made a "shhhh ”
Mo Yan is familiar with the Three Kingdoms, and she clearly knows that the person in front of her is Guan Yu, a martial saint who is famous in the Three Kingdoms to this day. People often say that heroes cherish heroes, but she, a modern woman, is also sincerely admired when she sees loyal and courageous generals. She was wondering why Guan Yu was here, and she was also observing him.
Guan Yu squatted on the ground, and on the ground was a newborn chick, calling with its small mouth open. Guan Yu looked up and saw that there was indeed a bird's nest on the tree. "You little guy, you're really fatal, you can still live if you fall so high."
Guan Yu gently picked up the chick, caressing it with his broad palm, and his sharp eyes were full of pity at this time. The tree was not tall, and the tall Guan Yu effortlessly released the chick back into its home. Unexpectedly, there are still its relatives in the nest, all of whom are chicks waiting to be fed. After Guan Yu carefully put the chicks back, he did not turn to leave, but stood by the tree for a long time.
Mo Yan looked at Liu Cheng in his arms, he was very well-behaved at this time, he didn't cry, he just looked at his mother with clear and ignorant eyes, "Shhh, be well-behaved." Mo Yan took a few steps forward, wanting to get closer to him, after all, the other party was Guan Yu, she was very curious about what the legendary "Guan Gong" was, Chunyi almost stepped forward to disturb, but was pulled by the jade girl on the side, Mo Yan gestured, signaling them to rest assured, she would be fine.
Guan Yu leaned against the tree, looked up at the sky of the imperial city, and sighed. "Why build a nest in the Imperial City? Although this is an imperial city, it is far from being as good as the outside, and the imperial city is just a prison with no appearance. Your Majesty is deeply trapped in it, why isn't Yu also in prison? The prime minister coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, but when he saw His Majesty today, it was not the weakness and incompetence of the imagination, but the real power of the young Son of Heaven, if it was in the past, he would have to denounce the Prime Minister for His Majesty, but now that he has received the Prime Minister's kindness, how can Yu take revenge? The battle of Guandu is just a reward for the grace of the encounter, and Yu still has to find the whereabouts of the eldest brother. ”
Mo Yan's ear is limited, and she can only hear half a word of what Guan Yu said. The battle of the imperial city, prison, prison, coercion of the Son of Heaven, the prime minister, and the battle of Guandu...... These are the words she can hear, if it were someone else, they probably don't know what Guan Yu meant, but Mo Yan knew. In the fifth year of Jian'an, after Liu Bei escaped from the depressive prison of Xu Du, there was no possibility of being an official in the same dynasty as Cao Cao, at this moment, perhaps he was sitting on pins and needles in Yuan Shao's tent, looking for the whereabouts of his second brother. Mo Yan thought (4), the martial saint in front of him is not destined to be in this cage, why not help him, maybe he can also change Liu Xie's fate in the future? She had already let the tragedy happen before - Dong Lin died with her child, she couldn't let the same tragedy happen again, even if it was just to say one more word, she had to try. Moreover, in the cage, not to mention Guan Yu, Liu Xie is, and Mo Yan is also.
"Your Highness?" Chunyi's voice recalled her thoughts, Mo Yan came back to her senses, the people standing in front of her were Yu Niang and Chunyi, and Liu Cheng in her arms had already fallen asleep.
Mo Yan looked back and saw that Guan Yu was nowhere to be found. She stared at Yu Niang tightly, "Yu Niang, tell me." Is Your Majesty going to have a banquet for Guan Yu? ”
Yu Niang lowered her head, and after a long while, she nodded and responded: "Yes, Your Majesty will not let me inform Your Highness." ”
"What are you two doing in a daze? Accompany me back to the Jiaofang Palace to change clothes, how can he feast the courtiers without me. Mo Yan's delicate face bloomed with a confident and charming smile, and she had an indescribable glimpse of the smile, but it was a pity that Liu Xie couldn't see it at this time. Don't say Liu Xie, even Yu Niang and Chunyi are a little stunned.
