Chapter Seventy-One: Temptation
Zhu Yuanzhang is coarse and well-versed, and he still knows Han Xin, the general under Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty, Han Xin, the Marquis of Huaiyin, is a native of Huaiyin, about Han Xin, there are already three very famous allusions at that time, "Angry Pavilion Chief", "Drifting Mother's Rice Letter", "Crotch Humiliation" These things are already known to women and children.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Han Xin had made great achievements for Liu Bang, and his achievements were high, so Han Gaozu couldn't help but be suspicious of him, but Han Gaozu Liu Bang didn't want to kill Han Xin, and he ended up with the infamy of "flying birds, hiding good bows, breaking the enemy country, and dying of ministers", so he made a patrol to arrest Han Xin and put him under house arrest, and Han Xin often went to court because of his illness.
Later, Han Gaozu Chen Feng made a rebellion, Han Gaozu personally led troops to quell the rebellion, and Empress Lu wanted to take the opportunity to summon Han Xin into the palace to kill him, but he was afraid that Han Xin would not give in, so he plotted with Xiao He Xiangguo, and ordered someone to pretend that he was from the emperor, saying that Chen Feng had been captured and executed, and the ministers and ministers had to come to congratulate him. Xiao Xiangguo deceived Han Xin and said: "Such a big event, even if you are sick, you must go to the palace to congratulate you." So Han Xin entered the palace, and Empress Lu ordered the warriors to tie up Han Xin and kill Han Xin in the bell room of Changle Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about Han Xin's matter in his heart, and already understood that this person meant to persuade him to kill Chu Liuyan, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have such a thought at this time, but he felt that Chu Liuyan was so angry with Chen Youliang in his heart.
So Zhu Yuanzhang stared at this person fiercely and said: "There is no need to say more about this matter, Ben Shuai knows it." After you go down, don't mention it to others, or you will be killed. ”
This person originally wanted to show his loyalty in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, but he didn't expect to touch such a big nail, so he had to retreat in his heart.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw this person leaving, he stood silent for a while, turned around, and walked towards the house where Chu Liuyan lived.
When he came to the outside of Chu Liuyan's pavilion, the door was closed tightly, and he went around in a circle, but fortunately, the embroidered window was not closed. Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered in his heart that he was busy with important military and political affairs on weekdays, and he didn't have the opportunity to come to Miss Chu's side to take precautions, and he didn't know what Miss Chu's boudoir was like.
Under the ghost envoy, Zhu Yuanzhang put his head in, looked at it, and saw that the furnishings in the room were exquisite, and the treasures of the books and scholars were displayed on the table, but it was also full of dazzling, and it was also embroidered with a curtain and a mirror, which was really quiet and luxurious. But after a closer look, there was no one in the room, and Chu Liuyan didn't seem to be in the room.
At this time, there was a sound behind him, and when Zhu Yuanzhang turned around, he found that it was Liu Bowen, holding a fist-sized stone.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "Strategist, don't do it, it's the commander." ”
"It turned out to be a marshal." Liu Bowen heard the voice, hurriedly threw away the stone, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Berwen has seen the marshal." ”
Liu Bowen came to Chu Liuyan to discuss the strategy of breaking the enemy, when he first arrived, he found that someone in front of him was sneaking into Chu Liuyan Embroidery Pavilion, Liu Bowen thought it was a spy or a thief, and he wanted to call his martial arts boy Xiaoxiao to do such a thing, but he wanted to laugh and laugh today, and he went to the school to challenge the camp.
After thinking about it, he quietly picked up a stone from the ground, and tiptoed behind this person, wanting to give this bold peeping thief a blow from behind, smash him, and make him lie on the ground. I didn't expect this person to make a sound, and it was very familiar. When this person turned around and faced Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen knew that fortunately he didn't throw the stone down, otherwise he would have suffered.
After the two finished reasoning, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that he had just peeked into a girl's boudoir, which was really unseemly. In order to cover up his actions just now, he asked without hesitation: "Strategist, now that the military affairs are urgent, why are you looking for Miss Chu Liuyan?" ”
The implication is that he faintly blamed Liu Bowen for coming to Chu Liuyan for no reason. Liu Bowen thought in his heart, you are a marshal, didn't you also come to find Miss Chu, and you are still peeping outside Miss Chu Liuyan's boudoir, it is really unorthodox, but it blames me.
But Liu Bowen didn't dare to refute this, but said with a smile: "The strategy of ambushing the enemy left by Miss Chu before leaving is very exquisite, Bowen thought about it carefully for three days, and it was still difficult to understand the subtleties, and it was unbearable to crawl, so I wanted to come and ask Miss Chu Liuyan for advice, but I heard that Miss Chu Liuyan had something to ask the marshal for leave and was not in the army. Today, I heard that Miss Chu Liuyan had returned, so I thought about coming to Miss Chu Liuyan for advice. I didn't expect to meet Miss Chu Liuyan, but I met the marshal. I don't know why the marshal came to find Miss Chu Liuyan. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say to Liu Bowen that he was trying to verify whether Chu Liuyan really let Chen Youliang on the mountain of Huanhua Pavilion without permission, so he had no choice but to smile: "The intention of this commander is different from that of the military advisor." But it's also for the sake of this Han King Chen Youliang. ”
Liu Bowen saw that Zhu Yuanzhang's words were between fiction and reality, and he already understood that Zhu Yuanzhang had something difficult to explain to himself, since Zhu Yuanzhang did not say it, then he should also be more knowledgeable, and he should not ask rashly.
So there was a slight cold scene between the two.
"Marshal, Liu Gongzi, why are you all here." When both parties were embarrassed and didn't know how to continue the conversation, a coquettish voice sounded, and the two of them were immediately happy and relieved when they heard it.
But then it was different, Liu Bowen was pleasantly surprised, and Zhu Yuanzhang's face was cloudy.
"Miss Chu." The two of them called out and turned their heads to look at the door. I saw a person with a face like a hibiscus, eyebrows and willows, autumn water as a god, and ice skin and skin. The peach cheeks are dizzy, and the smiling jade Shi Shiran walks up the steps of the courtyard gate, like a weak willow supporting the wind, the willow slender waist, fluttering in the wind, it is really a Lingbo fairy, step by step lotus, extremely graceful.
The person who came was Chu Liuyan.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Chu Liuyan's peerless demeanor, his anger at Chu Liuyan for helping Chen Youliang escape unconsciously decreased a little, and his face softened, not as uncertain as just now.
"Marshal, Gongzi Liu, what is the matter with you coming to me?" Chu Liuyan came to the two of them and opened his mouth to inquire.
Liu Bowen said: "Don't dare, just for Miss Chu's ambush strategy, there are places that Liu can't solve to ask Miss Chu for advice." ”
Chu Liuyan saw Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang together, thinking that the two of them had come to discuss the ambush of the Han army with him. He opened his mouth and invited the two of them and said: "Since this is the case, then don't stand here anymore, and ask the marshal and Liu Gongzi to go to the study of the smoke to discuss this matter carefully." The courtyard is windy and not a place for discussion. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, Liu Bowen hesitated for a moment and said with some hesitation: "Since it is Miss Chu's study, I'm afraid it's not easy for men to enter." It's better to ask Miss Chu to move to the council hall of my mansion. ”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, it seemed that Chu Liuyan had been to the council hall in Liu Bowen's mansion several times, and there was Chen Youliang's matter in front of him, but now seeing that Chu Liuyan and Liu Bowen were also very enthusiastic, the evil fire in his heart couldn't help but flutter and burn up, and his face became more and more ugly.
Chu Liuyan didn't notice the change in Zhu Yuanzhang's face, and said to Liu Bowen: "My study is different from other daughters' families, there are only books and classics, and it doesn't hurt if the marshal and Liu Gongzi enter." As long as you don't dislike the basics. If you go to Liu Gongzi's house, it is just getting late, and the wind is wild, and you may be inconvenient to go back and forth. ”
Liu Bowen saw that Chu Liuyan said this very reasonably, it didn't matter if he walked at night, if the discussion was too late, let Chu Liuyan go at night, it would be his own fault. Besides, it is not a matter for Miss Chu to run back and forth, and the wind blowing from the river outside the house is indeed very strong, and it is cold to the touch, so Liu Bowen agreed with Chu Liuyan's opinion and said: "Then, it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate." ”
Chu Liuyan heard Liu Bowen's agreement, so he walked to the door, took out the copper spoon from the embroidery bag in his arms, twisted it on the copper lock on the door for a while, opened the machine, and pushed the door open.
Then he turned back to Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang Yingying and smiled: "Please come in with me." ”
