Chapter 2: The Four Beauties of Muyun (Revision)
The Central Plains is a land of fertile land and abundant products, has always been fought for by soldiers, Muyun lost the land due to internal and external troubles, under the invasion of the Hu people, moved the people south, built a new dynasty and established a new emperor.
The remote and backward south, under the hard work of the gate lord clan and the new king, has become a prosperous place of economic prosperity and prosperity.
Muyunguo is not only a gentle township with beautiful mountains and rivers, but also a good place for outstanding individuals. Muyun has four beauties, famous in all directions, they gather in the court, every move is the people's after-dinner conversation.
Today's saint Xiao Jingyu, the jade tree is in the wind, handsome and extraordinary, and he is among the four beautiful men in the Yun Kingdom. Three years ago, the new emperor chose a concubine for the first time, and both the daughters of the official eunuchs and the daughters of the commoners were vying to enter the palace to be concubines for the emperor.
However, the diligent and well-cultivated young emperor Xiao Jingyu often had no time to pamper the beauties in the harem because of his busy government affairs.
Since Xiao Jingyu dispersed in the morning, he and three young humerus dignitaries gathered in the east hall of the Taiji Hall to discuss important national affairs.
Xiao Jingyu thought that there were still a few unapproved books left last night, so he asked them to wait for him.
"Ahh
The familiar scene of the black smoke miasma below made the corners of his eyebrows still can't help jumping, and he pinched his brows with a headache and asked:
"In a few days, it will be my birthday, and the five countries will come to congratulate, what do you think of Aiqing, Zijin, you will say it first."
Xiao Jingyu's phoenix eyes swept to the right side, Yan Zijin, the second prime minister dressed in light green clothes and with a jade crown with lacquered hair, watched him stare at the "Analects" and smiled lewdly, and shook his head secretly.
This person has a characteristic, no matter in spring, summer, autumn and winter, he always holds the landscape folding fan in his hand.
Suddenly listening to the emperor's question, Yan Zijin unhurriedly closed the little yellow book in the "Analects", and raised his handsome face with red lips and white teeth.
As the second-in-command of Mu Yunguo, he is mainly responsible for diplomatic affairs, but this is not the case. The prime minister likes to drink and be lazy, and everything big and small in the DPRK is generally thrown to him, a hard-working model worker, and he has long been used to being the first to be questioned.
Yan Zijin sat up straight and said in a serious report:
"Among the five kingdoms of Mu Wan, Gu Jin, Beihan, Jian Ran, and Ghost Fang, it is the most wolfish ambition of the Northern Han country.
The year before last, Hu people Bei Hanmo led the exiles to capture Guanlong, built the capital Chang'an and called the king, close to our country, knowing that we were not defeated by our pretending to be a minister, and settled for some time, and recently became dishonest, the first to pay close attention.
The minister has already arranged the relevant matters with Rong Bai, just waiting for the emperor's birthday. ”
Hearing this, the emperor frowned with relief, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Murong Bai, the palace attendant in his left hand, who was wearing a tight-sleeved green robe and wiping his sword with a solemn face, waiting for his speech.
Murong Bai immediately took back the scabbard of Cheng Liang's love sword "Ruhong", straightened his back, and replied solemnly:
"The minister will step up patrols in due course, send more people to strictly check the people entering and leaving the city pass, and strictly control the items sent by the envoys of various countries, so as to prevent unknown people from taking the opportunity to sneak into Muyun."
Murong Bai looks like Yushu Lanzhi, but his temperament is more inclined to the majesty and righteousness of a soldier, he is not smiling, and his sword eyebrows are very serious.
He was appointed as a general many times by the emperor and went out to assist in the war, but he was young but had military exploits, and he was a big celebrity in front of the emperor. He prefers outsiders and calls him General Mu.
Murong Bai's status in Muyun is very respectful, in addition to being the palace squire and general, he is also the emperor's brother-in-law, and his sister Murong Yi is Muyun's queen.
This drinking man who reclined and lazily sat in the middle, took off his shoes and leisurely picked his feet, was the prime minister Li Junye, who was known as a "prodigy". He is in charge of Muyun's internal affairs and oversees the overall situation.
This sloppy beautiful man with simple black hair and plain white loose clothes, although his demeanor is vulgar, but his appearance is quite handsome and clear, with his boundless leisurely and calm posture, he looks like a chic and handsome fairy in the sky.
After Li Junye listened to the speeches of the two friends, he put away his hands that picked his feet, lazily burped, put away his lazy bones, and swayed like a jade mountain.
After Li Junye stood up, he showed his tall figure, and he felt comfortable and comfortable in front of everyone, like a hearty breeze on the mountain, and laughed loudly: "Rong Bai, the beauties they sent, do you also want to personally investigate?" ”
When several people heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and serious conversations began to turn into jokes.
Murong Bai was teased by Li Junye, and the ground turned red, and he explained righteously: "Of course, it is a special person. ”
This emperor is also a gossip lord, drank a sip of hot tea and slowly walked off the stage, and continued to joke unhurriedly: "Rong Bai, if you fancy any beauty, I will definitely reward you, and you can make a lot of contributions to Mu Yun." ”
Xiao Jingyu stood beside Li Junye, and his height was even faintly a little taller.
"I don't need it, I don't need it." As soon as Murong Bai heard the emperor's words, where to sit down, his hand immediately shook like a rattle, and he looked at the emperor with a nervous face and said.
"The beauty of the Hu people has a graceful posture and a delicate singing voice, I'm afraid I'm tired of seeing it." Yan Zijin stood up from the desk, approached Murong Bai with a long figure, and continued with a very bad eye.
"Oh, Rong Bai is tired of seeing Hu people and beautiful women, are you tired of Hu people and beautiful men?" Xiao Jingyu answered and asked, Murong Bai was simply spit out of the Yumen Pass by a mouthful of old blood from this group of unscrupulous people, and his innocent body was all ruined in the mouths of these guys.
"I don't need it, I don't need it." Murong Bai thought that this emperor who loved to pull the red line really stuffed a few beautiful men into his general's mansion on a whim, then he didn't want to sleep and eat without worry.
This girl from Muyun Country is afraid that she will also write letters to bury his house, and cry outside his house every day.
"Oh, don't bully Murong, you have forgotten, Murong has someone in his heart, he can't forget Shang Shuling's daughter, Yanyan, last month he heroically saved the beauty and sent the beauty home."
Murong Bai couldn't speak, he thought that Yan Ziqing had changed his ways and spoke for him, but he didn't expect to drop another big stone.
"I really don't like that Shang Shuling's daughter Zhao Xinyan." Murong Bai felt that he had completely fallen into the Yellow River and could not be washed.
"And who do you like?" Li Junye asked.
Somehow in Murong Bai's mind, the bloodthirsty man with a strange mask and like a wild wolf appeared in his mind. His methods of marching and fighting were extremely deceitful and vicious.
His true face was hidden behind the strange mask, and it was not until he cut off his mask in the final battle that he realized that his opponent had a gorgeous and decisive handsome face.
"Anyway, it's not her, you guys are really gossiping more than those long-tongued women in Muyun Kingdom." Murong Bai denied it angrily.
Murong Bai is the youngest one in Muyun Simeili, he just wore a crown not long ago, he acts very humble and gentlemanly, and he is still a boy and chicken until now, and he has never even held a girl's hand, and he is often ridiculed by these old fritters.
"Let me analyze it, Murong has been fighting outside all the year round, and this person must be someone who has frequent contact." Yan Ziqing's peach blossom eyes lit up with the light of gossip, and analyzed.
Li Junye calmly analyzed and said: "With Murong's handsome face, the person who has not yet been conquered shows that there are two situations, this person does not like Murong, and the second is that the identities of the two people cannot be together, and the possibility of being a man is greater." ”
Murong Bai felt that his underwear was about to be ripped off by these two classmates.
"Rong Bai, do you think about me?" Xiao Jingyu looked at his brother-in-law, clasped his hands and hugged his chest, and asked calmly with phoenix eyes.
Murong Bai almost wanted to cry without tears, how could he be interested in an emperor of similar stature?
"Oh, Rong Bai, shouldn't you be interested in me and Jun Ye?" Yan Zijin pretended to be shyly and hid in Li Junye's arms, and said with a scared face.
"What are you thinking, I really don't have any idea about you." As soon as Murong Bai finished speaking, the three of them asked in unison, "Then who are you interested in from other countries?" ”
"Isn't it the iron lady of the Northern Cold Country, Bei Hanjing, you often fight each other." Yan Zijin came out of Li Junye's arms and said with a brighter gossip in his eyes.
"That Bei Hanjing is also a beauty, with a heroic and sassy demeanor, different from ordinary women, or I will wait for her to celebrate her birthday, and tell her." Xiao Jingyu sat down again, picked up the tea, took a sip in an orderly manner, and said with a smile in his phoenix eyes.
"Bei Hanjing married one of her subordinates named Han Qing half a year ago, and it seems that our Murong is going to be the second." Li Junye sat in his seat, and after saying this, he took a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth, his eyes were full of fun.
Murong Bai remembered in his mind that Bei Hanjing was born with strange powers, taller than an ordinary woman, sitting on a horse like a man dancing a pair of giant axes, her solemn handsome face completely shattered, and she shook her head in horror.
At this moment, a low voice with a silky thin voice suddenly sounded in the interior of the room, interrupting the conversation and laughter of several people.
"Report, Your Majesty, the old pear blossom tree left by the ancestor in front of the Mei Palace has been dying of illness in recent days since it was broken by the strong wind before." Gao Sheng's father-in-law came in from outside, bowed his waist and respectfully reported.
Xiao Jingyu's thoughts of talking and laughing immediately faded, this old pear blossom tree left by Gao Zu was about to die of illness, how can this be explained? Maybe the old witch of the Empress Dowager Sima Jing came to find fault again.
Xiao Jingyu has a number one enemy in Muyun, none other than the powerful Sima family, especially the brothers Sima Xian and Sima Heng, who were in power in the court, relying on the support of the empress dowager Sima Jing, and often intervened in the government affairs.
"Does the Imperial Doctor only know how to eat?" Xiao Jingyu said unhappily, those phoenix eyes lost the slightest smile, and they looked very majestic.
"The imperial doctors are helpless and can only treat people." Gao Sheng has long been accustomed to the emperor's temper and said truthfully.
"Am I raising this class of rice buckets to eat, they will die and be cured, and they can also leave the palace."
Xiao Jingyu gave an ultimatum, Li Junye heard it, and came forward and said: "Your Majesty, I know a little about the healing techniques of flowers and trees, can you let me give it a try, don't blame Weichen if you can't cure it." ”
Xiao Jingyu forgot about Li Junye, a miscellaneous family who has been a book-lover since childhood, maybe he really has the ability to cure the old pear tree, so he said: "Okay, according to your words, if you can't cure it, you won't be punished, but you can't be cured to death." ”
Li Junye replied quite confidently: "It's on Weichen." ”
"Hey, by the way, the beauty I met in the plum garden last time, what is it called, and in which palace? Let her come to bed tonight. Xiao Jingyu's words suddenly changed, remembering the blue-clothed beauty he met in the plum garden three months ago.
It's been three months since this happened, and the emperor didn't give the woman a name at all, and no one knew where the pimple was dangling, so of course Gao Sheng couldn't complain.
Gao Sheng frowned and pondered the "female assassin", only vaguely remembering that it seemed to be a palace maid under the hand of a concubine, so he said: "Slave, let's go down and make arrangements." ”
Anyway, under Queen Murong Yi, there are three concubines, nine concubines, and seventy-two concubines. Below them are the harem stewards and palace maids, even if it is very simple to check them one by one.
Who knows, today happens to be the day when the emperor shows his wisdom and amnesties the palace maids leave the palace and return home. In the morning, the palace steward, after counting the number of people and registering, which palace maids were released from the palace.
Gao Sheng found out that the palace maid had registered out of the palace that day, and he couldn't help but panic and hurriedly sent someone to find it.
