Chapter 5: You Xinghuanhua (2)

Walking to Wangjiang Tower, the dragon boat has already been moored at the Jinjiang Wharf. Looking from afar, the dragon boat on the river is high and open, majestic and luxurious, the pavilion on the boat is towering, the body of the boat is finely carved, the painted gold ornaments, the momentum is extraordinary.

The dragon boat is around, Yu Linwei has already cleared the idle people, etc., and the female officials of the division have also lined up to board the boat honor guard, when I got off the public opinion, the queen mother has boarded the boat first, Bao Yuan stepped forward to take me on the dragon boat together, and then the palace concubines and close ministers boarded the boat in order.

I hold on to the railing and look, Wangjiang Tower stands by the river, the gilded treasure is under the beautiful sun, the golden light is shining, dazzling. In the green bamboo Fusu, the eaves of the building are warped, the carved beams are painted, and it is majestic and magnificent.

This is the place where Xue Tao recites poems and paints, sings long songs and short fu, throws away hatred and sorrow, and listens to the wind as if you can still hear her singing.

"On the amphibious green pond, fly back together at dusk." I groaned and looked back at Bao Yuan.

"The busier will be the sun, and the lotus leaves will be concentric." Bao Yuan also looked at me with a smile here, and groaned.

I hooked my lips and chuckled, Xue Tao used this poem to send love to Yuan Zhen that day, but he had to dew his love, and he died in the twilight of life, and I have him in this life, and my heart is the same, even if it is short, I am satisfied.

The dragon boat went down the river to the vicinity of Qingyang Palace and turned into Huanhua Creek, I asked about the legend of Huanhua Creek, Bao Yuan said: "Legend has it that there was a woman by Huanhua Creek in the Tang Dynasty, when she was young, she washed clothes by the stream and met a passing monk. The monk fell into the ditch, got up, took off his muddy robe, and asked the woman to wash it for him. The woman readily agreed. When he washed the monk's robe in the stream, lotus flowers floated in the stream. Suddenly, the lotus flowers all over the river overflowed the river. Huanhua Creek is famous for this. ”

After hearing this, the Queen Mother smiled and nodded: "Later, this laundry girl married Cui Ning as a concubine, known as Mrs. Huanhua. In the third year of the Tang Dynasty, Yang Zilin, the envoy of Luzhou soldiers and horses, took advantage of the opportunity of Chengdu Yin and Jiannan Xichuan Jiedu to envoy Cui Ning to enter the court, and took advantage of the situation to raid Chengdu. This Huanhua lady raised thousands of people from her home, and she attacked her, Yang Zilin was defeated, and Chengdu was protected. Guarding Chengdu was meritorious, and the court named her Mrs. Jiguo. ”

After hearing this, I couldn't help but be shaken, and sighed: "Heh, it turns out that there are such burly and fruitful women in my Shu, who can serve for future generations." ”

Bao Yuan nodded and smiled: "I am a genius in Dashu, and I can be described as a genius of the earth spirit!" ”

Huanhua Creek water is crystal clear, the dragon boat slowly travels on the spacious river surface, both sides of the river are repaired pavilions, hibiscus is in full bloom, the famous flowers are different, the rich ten miles, I heard that the royal travel, all the ladies and ladies poured out of the city, and the Huanhua wanted to look at the dragon face.

I waited for the bow of the boat to look at it, the shore was crowded, both sides of the strait saw the women and the people in brocade shirts and silk robes standing with their heads up, where the dragon boat sailed by, the people all knelt on the mountain and shouted long live.

Bao Yuan smiled and waved his hand, and sighed again: "The Qujiang Golden Palace has not locked a thousand doors at this time. "Left and right are not in the picture.

Wang Tingju, the secretary of the military department, took advantage of the situation and praised the poem: "The island is divided in the cross water, and the buildings are seen outside the several flowers." Bao Yuan's face was happy when he heard this, and he clapped his hands and praised him.

Subsequently, the ministers who accompanied him who were good at poetry and poetry all presented masterpieces to show off their talents.

I was talking with Jingyi and Feng Yi about the scenery on both sides of the strait, and suddenly saw Wang Zhaoyuan kneeling down to Bao Yuan and said: "The minister heard that the concubine Niangniang Su Ri learned to compose palace lyrics, which was praised by the emperor and the queen mother. ”

Everyone turned their eyes to me for a moment, and I was noncommittal, only smiling lightly. Bao Yuan thought about it for a while, and said to me in his ear: "Rui'er will reward him with face." ”

Seeing that I nodded in agreement, I said loudly: "Take the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone." ”

Just as the inner supervisor went to get the pen and ink, Jingyi muttered quietly on the side: "It's rare to get out of the palace once, I thought about traveling with my sister and taking a good rest...... This Wang Zhaoyuan is so annoying. ”

I smiled and pulled the corners of my mouth and said to her: "Sister, the 'icing on the cake' was originally his benefit, you see how the emperor has treated him over the years." ”

"Alas, such a person will only blindly make the emperor happy, what's so good." Jingyi disagreed.

I nodded yes and said, "There are originally two kinds of people around the emperor, one is a loyal minister and the other is a traitor, and these two types of people are indispensable. ”

"Sister, what do you mean by that?" Jing Yi said strangely.

"This ......" I was about to continue, but Bao Yuan leaned over and asked, "What are you two whispering?" Fu said to me again: "Your poem can be thought of, today in front of so many ministers, don't be rude to others!" With that, he grinned.

I glanced at him and whispered, "Don't bother the emperor, Rui'er is not going to protect her face today." ”

"That's very good." Bao Yuan chuckled and got up, and went to make small talk with the ministers.

I looked at the river, pondered for a long time, and after I had an idea in my heart, I wrote calmly: "Look at the riverbank, the flowers are like brocade, and the concubine will take the hibiscus as the theme today, and dedicate a hibiscus tune." ”

So he wrote:

Planting flowers in the past year has now become a success, and the beautiful shadow takes advantage of the fragrance.

The sky is beautiful and beautiful, and the rich rhyme is sparse and the larks are singing.

The moon before the light autumn wind window, the dream of the night dew.

If the king asks the slave about his heart, he wants the hibiscus to be all over Jincheng.

The words and sentences were written on the Xue Tao note, and Bao Yuan stood on the side and watched quietly. When I stopped writing, he took it in his hand and read it silently, with a smile in his eyebrows and eyes, and raised his voice to say to everyone: "I want to be hibiscus all over Jincheng." Good! The concubine loves hibiscus, and hibiscus is planted all over the city, which will indicate that the national fortune of my Dashu is prosperous. I ordered the Chengdu Mansion to be planted with hibiscus all over the city today! ”

Wang Zhaoyuan led the body and knelt down and shouted: "The emperor is sage!" ”

Everyone present also bowed down and knelt down, looking at the people who knelt on the ground in front of me, I was stunned, alas, a hibiscus tune actually created a Rong City, I really didn't expect it.

Then Wang Zhaoyuan took my hibiscus tune and tasted it among the ministers.

Jingyi couldn't stand it, and pulled me aside to talk.

"My sister Fangcai's words have not yet been finished, what does it mean that the emperor must have both loyal ministers and traitors around him? Since ancient times, haven't they all thought that traitors have misled the country? ”

"Sister, do you think, if the emperor is surrounded by upright people, and he tells the emperor every day that this is not okay, that is not right, then the emperor will be happy?"

Jingyi thought about it, nodded and said, "It's really not happy to be asked by a group of serious people to do this and arrange that." ”

"That's it, traitors have always been scheming, and they are the ones who make people happy, in other words, they are the ones who make the emperor always full of confidence. In fact, as long as the emperor himself has the wisdom to understand people, whether it is a loyal minister or a traitorous minister, and only uses his strengths, then these two kinds of courtiers do not necessarily know which one is better and which one is bad. I whispered.

Jingyi nodded and said, "My sister is indeed reasonable, the emperor has repeatedly praised my sister for her intelligence, and it seems that this is true today."

I was chatting with Jingyi, and Ming'er next to me suddenly pointed to the other side and called softly: "Sister, look, Huanhua Xiaozhu." ”

I came back to my senses and looked at her finger, the small Huanhua building was hidden behind the pavilion, and my thoughts immediately returned to the years before entering the palace, I don't know if it can be barren? Can the most beautiful drunken hibiscus in the courtyard still bloom as before?

"If you want to know if everything is still the same, just go." Bao Yuan didn't know when he was already standing side by side with me, and said with a smile.

"Is that okay?" I was overjoyed for a while, shook his hand tightly and asked, and saw that there were countless ministers and palaces on the boat, after all, he was the king of a country, how could he say that he would leave, and the look of disappointment came to his face again.

"Wait for me!" I saw him turn around and walk to the Queen Mother's side, whispering in his ear, I was slightly nervous, and looked at the expression on the Queen Mother's face for a moment, and saw the Queen Mother smiling at me, and my heart relaxed, and I stepped over to apologize to the Queen Mother.

Bao Yuan entered the imperial cabin and changed into a purple civilian robe, and the dragon boat docked at the Caotang Ferry. Bao Yuan took me ashore, and Caisha followed me ashore.

Xie Xingben took four people with him, and Wang Zhaoyuan also followed.

Then I crossed the covered bridge, the houses on the shore were hidden in the hibiscus flower pavilion, the breeze came slowly, the fragrance of cinnamon flowers crossed the wall and penetrated into the heart, the bluestone path was meandering, and the blue water of the Huanhua River and the flower shadow flowed quietly.

Crossing the slope embankment, the road surface suddenly becomes spacious, the hibiscus wood is staggered like an umbrella, the people gather here to form a large market, the market is full of bamboo weaving silver lacquerware, and the people's livelihood utensils are dazzling.

I lifted the veil and smiled, and passers-by stopped and turned back.

Wang Zhaoyuan walked down and followed Bao Yuan to introduce and laugh, I poked my head out, admired all kinds of bamboo weaving toys, the man in cloth on the side of the road was stunned, staggered and fell down the bamboo in his hand, Wang Zhaoyuan smiled and said: "The appearance of the mother, burning like a hibiscus out of the waves." The passer-by was also shocked. ”

When I heard this, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I put the veil, and Bao Yuan smiled: "Is it wrong to be beautiful?" I glanced at him with disgust, leaned lazily on his shoulder, and played with his hair.

Suddenly, he stopped, Bao Yuan frowned and asked, "Zhaoyuan, what's going on." But Wang Zhaoyuan did not answer.

Bao Yuan was surprised, opened the sedan curtain, and saw an old man kneeling in front of the sedan chair a foot away, and Wang Zhaoyuan was scolding him.

Bao Yuan called again: "Zhaoyuan." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan turned around and said, "Master, there is a sedan chair." ”

The old man suddenly shouted loudly: "Wronged! Wronged! Ask Mrs. Blossom to be the master of the grass people. ”

I was secretly frightened, how could a passer-by know that I was Madame Blossom?

was puzzled, Bao Yuan opened the curtain and said: "He is wronged, and he knows our identity, you can also come and take a look." "Let's take me off the sedan chair.

As soon as Bao Yuan came out, the old man was even more pounding his head like garlic, shouting long live, and the pedestrians knelt down and bowed when they saw this.

Bao Yuan couldn't bear to say: "Old man, get up quickly, if you have any grievances, talk about it slowly." It's just that I want to know why you know that Madame Blossom is sitting in this sedan chair. ”

The old man didn't dare to get up, but knelt down and said: "I heard that the emperor is in the Xinghuan Flower Creek, and the grass people are waiting by the river early, and the people on the shore say that the dragon boat is waving side by side with the saint, and the one who looks like a fairy is Mrs. Hua Rui." Folklore has it that the emperor and Mrs. Hua Rui are kind and kind, and the grass people chase the dragon boat all the way to the covered bridge, see the mother get off the boat, and see the dragon face today, and the sky is endless, and the people of Meizhou are endless. ”

Bao Yuan said in a deep voice: "The people of Meizhou? ”

Xie Xingben stepped forward to help the old man and said, "Your Majesty, there is a small building of Huanhua in front." ”

Bao Yuan said: "It's okay, if the old man has any grievances, he will present them later." ”

This goes to the Huanhua small building, the road is mostly bluestone slabs, the sedan car does not go to pass, and everyone gets off the sedan car and walks.

The old man who stopped the sedan chair to complain was only about 50 years old, and I saw that he spoke politely, so I stepped forward to take the initiative to talk, and only after careful questioning did I learn that the old man's name was Wang Yunwen, and he was a teacher in the private school in Meizhou County.

He said to me, it is said outside the palace that the emperor went out of the palace around the Mid-Autumn Festival over the years, and rushed to Chengdu Mansion half a month ago to sue the emperor, and it was Meizhou Assassin Shi Shengui.

The old man didn't speak in a high tone, and when he said the word Shen Gui, I looked at Bao Yuan in front of me, and his steps slowed down, thinking that he was frowning when he heard this name!

Shen Gui, a native of Luzhou, is currently the assassin of Meizhou, and when An Siqian's generals rescued Fengxiang last year, Shen Gui's generals were defeated in Baoji. I don't know what kind of mess this will cause again, and my heart will be in turmoil.

After a while, when I arrived at the Huanhua small building, I saw that the flowers and trees in the courtyard were still there, and the furnishings were not clean.

Bao Yuan and I sat on the red sandalwood chair, Wang Zhaoyuan and Xie Xingben stood with their hands down, and I called the servants and maids to sit on the old man's behalf, and the old man was terrified, so he knelt down again with a plop, and took out the paper from his arms and handed it over.

Wang Zhaoyuan took the hand and Bao Yuan, Bao Yuan opened it and looked at it with me, accusing Shen Gui of being greedy and contemptible, leading the rich people into the party, instigating the state officials to falsely accuse the people of being thieves, imprison the people, and ask for bribes, and the people of Meizhou complained. Wang Yunwen's two sons were imprisoned.

"Bringing the rich people to the party?" Bao Yuan asked in a deep voice, Wang Zhaoyuan's face also changed, privately forming a friend, the crime is unforgivable, and asking for bribes is an added crime.

"The grass people's sentences are true, please let the emperor know." Wang Yunwen said.

Bao Yuan's face turned pale, and he suppressed his anger and said: "Old man, rest assured, since I have known about this matter, I will definitely handle it impartially." Please tell the elders of Meizhou that if this case is verified, it will be severely punished. ”

I also nodded to him in affirmation, and Wang Yunwen knelt down and shouted long live, kowtowing to thank him.

After a few thanks, Xingben sent Wang Yunwen out of the hospital, and Bao Yuan's face became more and more unpleasant, and Wang Zhaoyuan said: "The Criminal Department of the Ministry of Officials will strictly investigate this case, and you must not leak the slightest rumor, and you will handle it today." ”

Wang Zhaoyuan promised to come down.
