Chapter Forty-Eight: Offering Beauty

I, Suzaku and the poetry brothers entered the door and sat together, Jiang Li and his junior brother prepared for us Jiangxixian, riverfish porpoise, hot pot hanging on the ancient stove, the umami was overflowing, and the mouth was so greedy that fish bubbles came out.

"Excuse me, what is this Daoist brother called?" I looked at the handsome scholar next to Jiang Li and smiled.

"Hello sir! My name is Jiang He, and I am Jiang Li's junior brother. Hehe, when the master travels far away, the senior brother is usually in charge of the continent, because I am more introverted. Jiang He smiled shyly.

"Well, you can see that you are a shy person. By the way, since Senior Qu knows that we are coming, when does he expect to come back? I have some things about the past Immortal and Demon Wars that I would like to ask him about the old man. I looked at Jiang Li and Jiang He, and smiled lightly.

"The master has gone to Lujiang Yefu Mountain, and he should be back soon, maybe tomorrow. Tonight you have a good night's rest here. Jiang Li replied.

"How can this thatched hut sleep so many people when it's so small?" I looked up and looked around, and then at the eight poet brothers around me, surprised.

"Don't worry, sir. Please see, sir. After that, Jiang He stood up, waved his sleeves, and more than a dozen small green lotus leaves flew out of his sleeves in front of him, and he blew a breath in his mouth, and those lotus leaves immediately flew into the air, becoming larger and larger, and lined up in turn, divided into two layers; Those lotus leaves are pulled back and forth by the stems and tied to the beams and columns, like green hammocks, and everyone is shocked, amazed, and praised again and again.

In the palace of the Han Kingdom, Xiaoyaozi has been sleeping, frowning for a few days, distressed by the prophecy of "Tui Bei Tu", Xiao Suzi is also anxious in his eyes.

Suddenly, one day, Xiao Suzi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Suzi has read through the "Historical Records" and "Three Kingdoms", and I have a clever plan to solve the emperor's worries. Since "Tui Bei Tu" has already testified to history, why don't we follow the trend of history and enter the Qing Dynasty and help Dolgon win the Ming Dynasty and destroy the Dashun? ”

"Yes, I've been thinking about it for a few days, so why should I die with a fantasy? But surrender is also a big deal, it is worth planning, and we can only vote for the final winner if we surrender. Tell me, what specific countermeasures do you have?" said Xiaoyaozi with a smile.

"Your Majesty, as we all know, since Nurhachi and Huang Taiji have been attacking Shanhaiguan for a long time, and now the regent of the Qing Dynasty, Dolgon, is waving his army south, and he is also stuck in Shanhaiguan. We sent a letter to Dolgon, promising to offer a series of schemes to help him take Shanhaiguan, so that he could unify the Central Plains and give you a vassal country. If Dorgon agrees, we will offer a serial scheme. Xiao Suzi smiled confidently.

"It's said that this Qing regent has a trick and is extremely smooth, but what if he doesn't agree?" said Xiaoyaozi nervously.

"We can only vote for him, because the end of history is decided. Since ancient times, those who follow the heavens have prospered, and those who have rebelled against the heavens have died, unless our lives come to an end. Xiao Suzi sighed.

"If you survive, there may be a turnaround, so tell me more about your serial plan. Xiaoyaozi hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. Bring Miss Chen to meet you!" Xiao Suzi exclaimed. As soon as Xiao Suzi's words fell, two little eunuchs came in, followed by two palace maids helping a woman in, Xiaoyaozi saw that the woman was stunned, her legs were weak, the woman was about forty years old, wearing a light yellow robe, her eyebrows were picturesque, she was born beautiful, and she was indescribably beautiful. She slowly stretched out her sleeves, covering half of her jade cheeks, and smiled. She covered her mouth and smiled, her face was flushed, her eyes were rippling, her cherry lips trembled, and her face was sad for a while, and the room was full of coquettishness.

"Excuse me, the girl is as beautiful as a fairy, may I ask where the girl is?" Xiaoyaozi was surprised, and he didn't know how to ask for a while.

The woman knelt down, lowered her eyebrows and whimpered: "Concubine Chen Yuanyuan to meet the King of Han, may the King of Han live long, long live, long ......live! The concubine only hated the appearance of being born, and she suffered the people of the world, and she entered the temple to accompany the ancient Buddha of the Qing Lantern, and repented bitterly, but it was difficult to get rid of the red dust. Even if you knock through the wooden fish and recite the scriptures, you will not be able to redeem the evil that you have done in the past. He was also captured and brought to His Majesty. Woowoo woo ......"

Xiaoyaozi nervously helped her up, and instantly a faint fragrance seemed to be the sadness of the previous life, Xiaoyaozi stroked her fragrant shoulder and said: "Fairies don't have to be sad, since ancient times, there is no need to be sad." My acquaintance with you can be regarded as fate, and if there is me in the future, I will plan for you. You go to the dormitory to rest and wait for me, and I will go to comfort the fairy when I am done with trivial matters. After that, the two little eunuchs and the two palace maids helped Chen Yuanyuan to go to Xiaoyaozi's bedroom.

"Xiao Suzi, do you mean to use Chen Yuanyuan to open the Shanhaiguan?" Xiaoyaozi paced, and suddenly realized.

"Your Majesty, be wise! Xiao Suzi is exactly what he meant, since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass. Throughout history, the king of Shang has no way, pampered the beautiful woman, greedy and indulgent, and will obey his words, and as a result, he will become the king of the country. Tang Xuanzong Li was in favor of Yang Guifei, which led to the Anshi Rebellion and led to the decline of the Tang Dynasty. Goujian, the king of Yue, fought with Wu State, and after the defeat, he offered the beautiful Xi Shi to Wu Wangfucha, and the husband was immersed in lewd pleasure, but Goujian lay down and tasted the gall, and destroyed Wu in one fell swoop. Even the generation of overlord Xiang Yu was stirred up by Yu Ji to kill himself in Wujiang and sent Liu Bang to the throne. How many heroes and overlords in history have been ruined by the red face and disaster. It can be seen that the beauty plan is a needle in the cotton, a knife in the sleeve, and the killing of the king is invisible. Wu Laozi's song "Round Song" on the rivers and lakes has already foreshadowed the heavenly opportunity, and this Chen Yuanyuan is the synthesis of Daji, Xi Shi and Yang Yuhuan in the present world. Xiao Suzi talked eloquently.

"But...... What do I think, this Chen Yuanyuan is soft, and it doesn't look like there is any scheming, how do you know that she can open Shanhaiguan?" Xiaoyaozi sat down, looked up at the roof, and held up his chin in confusion.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured, everything is under control. Father-in-law Cao has already verified the details of this Chen Yuanyuan. Chen Yuanyuan, Changzhou Wujin people's name, his surname is Xing, his name is Yuan, the word Wanfen, is a Suzhou courtesan, good at singing and dancing. Just because Emperor Chongzhen favored Tian Guifei, the queen's father, Tian Guozhang, bought Chen Yuanyuan from a brothel in Suzhou and sent him to the palace to share the favor of Tian Guifei. In the first three days, Chongzhen Lao'er accompanied Chen Yuanyuan day and night, playing the piano and singing songs, mixing fat and powder, and being deeply immersed in the gentle hometown and happy, but on the fourth day, Chongzhen immediately ordered someone to send her out of the palace, saying that she was a demon girl, she stayed in the palace for three days, and Daming lost three cities. She was a weak woman and had no ability to make a living, and she was picked up by my spies as the refugees were displaced here. And Gonggong Cao also found out that Wu Sangui, who guarded the world's first Xiongguan - Shanhaiguan, had also spoiled Chen Yuanyuan in the past, and built a private garden for her in Beiping City. Xiao Suzi sometimes clapped his hands excitedly, and sometimes analyzed seriously.

"This trick is really wonderful, wonderful! Then you mean to give this Chen Yuanyuan to Dolgon, and let Dolgon use Chen Yuanyuan as a weight to win over Wu Sangui to surrender?" Xiaoyaozi looked at Xiao Suzi intently.

"Your Majesty, this Chen Yuanyuan was not given to Wu Sangui through Dolgon, but to Wu Sangui through Li Zicheng. Just like when Wang Yunjin offered Diao Chan to Dong Zhuo, Lu Bu killed his godfather for Diao Chan - Dong Zhuo has a reason, we also have to help Dolgon eradicate Li Zicheng, why not borrow a knife to kill people, and let Wu Sangui destroy Li Zicheng for Chen Yuanyuan. In this way, first, we expressed our sincerity to Dolgon and won the first credit; second, Wu Sangui and Li Zicheng became enemies, and Wu Sangui surrendered, and Li Zicheng had no chance to surrender, and he was bound to die. Xiao Suzi smiled.

"Wonderful! Wonderful! This trick can be regarded as a lore to kill Li Zicheng! Xiao Suzi, it seems that you haven't read this "Three Kingdoms" in vain, you are about to catch up with Feng Xiao!" Xiaoyaozi gave a thumbs up and praised again and again.

"Your Majesty, in the past two days, you will first accept Chen Yuanyuan, a stunner, and we will send someone to dedicate her to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, and send him to Huangquan. Xiao Suzi sneered.

"Okay, I'm glad to have you! She's really a stunner embryo! I'll go back to the dormitory first!" Xiaoyaozi said, brushing his sleeves and leaving.

"Congratulations to the emperor and Wanfu Jin'an!" Xiao Suzi said goodbye.

Xiaoyaozi returned to the dormitory, and ordered the palace maids who were waiting for him to retreat, leaving only himself and Chen Yuanyuan in the dormitory. In the bedroom, agarwood lingers, green lantern curtains, Chen Yuanyuan has already freshened out of the bath, with long hair scattered, wrapped in a pink and purple bathrobe, lying on the incense in front of the bed, holding the pipa in his arms, his eyes are looking forward to life, like a pool of autumn water. Chen Yuanyuan saw Xiaoyaozi coming over slowly, plucking the pipa and playing and singing the popular "Round Song" on the rivers and lakes:

Dinghu abandoned the world on the same day, broke the enemy and collected the jade pass under Beijing,

The six armies wept and became angry.

The red face is not my love, and the rebel thief dies from the feast.

Sweep the yellow scarf and set the black mountain, cry and see you again.

When they first met Tian Dou's house, Houmen sang and danced like flowers.

Xu General Qi Li Gong Hou tricks, waiting for the general oil wall car.

In the family aunt Su Huanhua, the round small characters Jiao Luoqi.

dreamed of swimming in the husband's garden, and the palace was embraced into the king.

The predecessor is a lotus picker, and there is a pond in front of the door.

The sculls in Hengtang go like flying, where the wealthy family is forced to return.

At this time, I don't know that it is not a thin life, and at this time, there are only tears on my clothes.

Xun Tian's will is even in the palace, and no one regrets his bright eyes and bright teeth.

Returned to Yongxiang's closed home, and taught the new voice to sit down.

The guests fly to the red sunset, who does a mournful chord complain to?

Bai Xi Tonghou has been at least a year, picking flowers and branches and reviewing them repeatedly.

Take the delicate bird out of the cage early, when will the galaxy cross?

Hate to kill the military book to the death, and after the bitter stay, the appointment will be mistaken.

It is difficult to meet each other, and once the ant thieves are full of Chang'an.

Poor thinking woman Loutou willow, think of it as the edge of the sky to see the powder.

All over the green beads around the inside, strong call for the tree out of the carving.

If it weren't for the victory of the whole division of the strong men, would they win the moth eyebrows?

The moth eyebrows immediately called in, and the clouds were not in order.

The wax torch ushered in the battlefield, crying makeup full of residual red marks.

Dedicated to Xiao Gu to Qinchuan, Jinniu Road on the car thousands of times.

The clouds in the sloping valley are deep and the painting building is deep, and the moon is scattered and the moon falls to open the makeup mirror.

There is news that Manjiang Township has ten degrees of frost in the red meridian of the black tree.

The teacher is still there, and the female companion of the yarn is reminiscing.

The old nest is a mud swallow, flying on the branch and becoming a phoenix.

Chang Xiang respects the former sad boss, and there are husbands and sons-in-law who are good at marquis kings.

At that time, he was only burdened by fame, and his relatives were famous.

A pearl is sorrowful, and Guanshan is adrift with a thin waist.

The wind of resentment falls the flowers, and the boundless spring comes to the world.

Taste the country and the city, and turn Zhou Lang into a heavy name.

How can the wife be a big deal, and the hero is helpless and amorous.

The white bones of the whole family turned into dust, and the red makeup took care of the sweat.

You don't see it, the pavilion baby is just starting to stay with mandarin ducks, and the more women are like flowers.

The incense path is dusty and crying, and the people in the corridor go to the moss and green.

Moulting and moving the palace are sorrowful, and the pearl song and cui dance Guliangzhou.

Don't sing Wu Gong song for you, the southeast of the Han River flows day and night!

A song "Round Song" is graceful and moving, affectionate and affectionate, as if narrating Chen Yuanyuan's life, the affectionate and wonderful pipa playing and singing makes the quiet night add a wisp of sadness, Chen Yuanyuan's smart eyes are shining with tears, sighing the ups and downs of life and the joys and sorrows of fate. Xiaoyaozi sat quietly beside her, took off the pipa in her arms, slowly reached out to hug her, put his nose close to her fragrant shoulder, then to her hair, and then to her ears and temples, breathing step by step, hugged Chen Yuanyuan tightly, lifted her, and put her on the bed for a cloud and rain. On the second day, Xiaoyaozi, who had been tossing all night, was unable to go to the court to discuss matters, and the imperial dining room directly sent the food box to the dormitory, and Xiaoyaozi had not left the dormitory for three days.

On the fourth day, Xiaoyaozi was dressed up, brushed his sleeves and wept: "The fairy is beautiful, I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life." My world is about to be lost, for Ai Ji to live forever safely, for the people of the Han Kingdom not to be slaughtered by the king of Chuang, I have to send you to Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, I hope that Ai Ji can understand my hard work, and I also hope that Ai Ji can be happy. After that, Xiao Suzi sent someone to send Chen Yuanyuan to Taiyuan to prepare to attack Li Zicheng in Beiping.

After a day of turbulence, Chen Yuanyuan finally followed Xiaoyaozi's envoy to Li Zicheng's marching camp, at that time Li Zicheng was discussing with the generals about the capture of Beiping, took the fold in the hands of the envoy sent by Xiaoyaozi, opened it and took a look, the fold read: His Royal Highness King Chuang, Jin'an! Today, King Chuang is expected to return, all the people admire, and the unification of the Central Plains is just around the corner! Today, I have a beauty, I am amazed by the heavens, since ancient times, the beauty is matched with the hero, and the contemptible people really dare not be delusional, so I hereby offer it to show the alliance good! After Li Zicheng saw it, he threw the fold to the soldiers behind him, and laughed and said: "Haha! Look at it, Liu Shu, this kid, really knows each other!" Raising his eyes, Chen Yuanyuan in front of him really looked like a fairy, shocked by the heavens, and the stunned Li Zicheng couldn't help but swallow his saliva. Chen Yuanyuan's eyes wandered, passing over everyone's faces, and everyone touched her eyes, as if their whole body was immersed in warm water, and it was indescribably comfortable. I only heard her warbler and said: "Concubine Chen Yuanyuan to see the king, may the king live long, long live, long live!" Li Zicheng laughed and said, "What a beautiful girl!" Suddenly, a young general sitting at the bottom of the head let out a low sound, crawled on the ground, and went to hug Chen Yuanyuan's legs. Chen Yuanyuan screamed and avoided it. A general over there shouted, "It's hot, it's hot!" and tore his shirt with a snort. Another general shouted: "Beauty, if you drink this glass of wine in my hand, I will be willing to die!" Holding the wine glass, he came to Chen Yuanyuan's lips. For a while, people's hearts fluctuated, and the battle-hardened generals in the hall were fascinated by Chen Yuanyuan's beauty. Li Zicheng laughed and said with a smile: "Today's beauty is really a blessing for three lives! Everyone drinks happily today, and if you don't get drunk, you won't return! Drink, drink!" The generals and officials raised their glasses excitedly to dispel their sorrows, and Li Zicheng picked up Chen Yuanyuan and laughed, and walked out of the camp. After that, Li Zicheng put Chen Yuanyuan in the harem to enjoy it alone, and he didn't care much about the war, and the military discipline of the Dashun army became more and more chaotic.

In the Imperial Palace of the Han Kingdom, Xiaoyaozi was still a little worried, and asked Xiao Suzi suspiciously: "Xiao Suzi, do you think this Wu Sangui will really kill Li Zicheng for a prostitute?"

It is rumored that when Li Zicheng's team approached Jingshi, Emperor Chongzhen urgently summoned Wu Sangui to Shanhaiguan. Tian Wan was worried about the peasant rebels all day long, so he set up a feast for Wu Sangui, and Chen Yuanyuan led the singing team into the hall to perform. After Wu Sangui saw Chen Yuanyuan, his heart fluttered, and he was so happy that he hugged Chen Yuanyuan to accompany the wine. After the three rounds of drinking, the alarm suddenly appeared, and Tian Wan stepped forward to Wu Sangui in fear and said: "General, the peasant rebel army is coming, what should I do?" Wu Sangui said: "If you can give it to me in Yuanyuan, I will definitely protect your whole family first." Tian Wan was shocked, and without waiting for Tian Wan to answer, Wu Sangui took Chen Yuanyuan to say goodbye. Wu Sangui, under the persuasion of his father, who was in charge of the imperial camp, left Chen Yuanyuan in the capital to prevent his peers from provoking right and wrong and letting the emperor know. That is the risk of deceiving the monarch and losing his head! It is conceivable that Wu Sangui's love for Chen Yuanyuan is enough to show the sun and the moon. Xiao Suzi smiled.

"Hehe, you kid inquired very carefully. Then tell me about this Li Zicheng, how did he become a hillbilly? Our Han Kingdom has also developed for several years, and there has been no improvement at all. Xiaoyaozi lifted her chin and fell into deep thought.

"Hehe, Your Majesty, let me tell you a rumor, which is also a rumor from hearsay. This Li Zicheng's father is called Li Shige, and the villagers say that this name is domineering, "ten guns", full of murderous aura. Li Zicheng's mother, Shi, was 13 months pregnant, and suddenly one day she dreamed that a person holding a spear and riding a horse broke into the door of Li's house, she fainted, and gave birth to a baby boy as soon as she woke up. Therefore, it was named Chuang, also known as self-contained. This kid has grown up, hey! He really rebelled, and the wind was surging, and the rivers and lakes were called King Li Chuang. Maybe the word "Chuang" in his name is used well?" Xiao Suzi smiled and pinched Xiaoyaozi's shoulder.

"Hehe, this Li Zicheng is a bit interesting!" Xiaoyaozi took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Whatever, anyway, he Li Zicheng is already a fat sheep hanging on the board, and now the wolf or the tiger wants to eat him. Xiao Suzi smiled.

"You kid, you're getting more and more clever! Interesting!" Xiaoyaozi smiled and smiled, silent, he didn't know what would happen after Dolgon came in, whether he could die well, and instantly felt that his fate was still in the hands of others, and there was a trace of unwillingness in his heart, but there was no countermeasure.
