Thinking of this, Zhu Quan has already understood in his heart, this kid Lan Yu is loyal to the crown prince, if Zhu Di, the king of Yan, strongly opposes him to go to Liaodong, I am afraid that not only the court's ministers who are loyal to the crown prince Zhu Biao, but also the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang will be suspicious of him. Since he couldn't object, he simply did the opposite, and he strongly recommended Lan Yu, not only did he not have to put himself in the open to oppose the prince, maybe he could also borrow a knife to kill people, and let his father solve Lan Yu. It seems that Zhu Di's vigorous recommendation of Lan Yu to make contributions is a bit ill-intentioned and wants to indulge.

At this time, I figured out the deep plan of Zhu Di and Zhu Yuanzhang in my heart, but there was no trace of joy and pleasure in my heart, I only felt depressed, and I suddenly recalled a sentence said by the old monkey Qin Zhuofeng in my mind: Ruthlessness is the emperor's family. He was originally a simple teenager, although he was smart, he had never experienced the intrigues of the world, and he was deceitful and deceitful, and after he came to this ancient world for some reason, he experienced many sinister people's hearts, and the experience of just a few days had made him seem to have suddenly grown up more than ten years old.

The wind blew his clothes with a loud sound, thinking of the deep scheming of the father and son of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang and Yan Wang Zhu Di, I couldn't help but feel a slight chill, and there was a trace of fear in my heart.

At this moment, a burst of melodious music suddenly came from under the bridge. Zhu Quan didn't know the rhythm of music, and he couldn't tell whether it was a flute or Xiao's voice. At the beginning, this music was low and tactful, and when it was repeated for the second time, the tone was already raised, and it was happy to have a passionate and upward meaning, and when it was played for the third time, it actually implied a sense of arrogance, as if the proud snow and cold plum stood in the cold wind, and it was even more falling.

Zhu Quan was originally a person with an extremely strong will, and when he was depressed today, he suddenly heard this heavenly sound that urged people to move up, his heart stretched, and his heart seemed to have been liberated, and he thought: Whether it is the cunning and witty Yan Wang Zhu Di or the deep and old Zhu Yuanzhang, since I have no way out today, I can only deal with you to the end. Thinking of this, he walked down the bridge with brisk steps, and turned his head to see that the music came from a small canopy under the bridge. I saw that the boatman on this small boat was dressed in robes, and the curtain on the cabin was deeply hanging, but I couldn't see the person playing in the boat.

I felt that I was comfortable listening to this music, so I spent money on a small boat by the bridge and followed the boat.

Zhu Quan stood at the bow of the boat, facing the drizzle from the sky, but his heart was full of joy, urging the boatman to approach the boat, and followed closely behind the black canopy boat three feet away, heading towards the rippling Qinhuai River.

After a cup of tea, the music stopped abruptly, and the canopy boat slowly stopped.

Zhu Quan heard the music disappear, and couldn't help but sigh, extremely disappointed in his heart.

At this time, I saw that between the curtain of the canopy boat, a girl in Tsing Yi with a very standard appearance came out, dressed as a maid.

The little maid in Tsing Yi turned her eyes very flexibly, carefully looked at Zhu Quan's eyes, coughed lightly, her face was slightly cold, and she reprimanded Zhu Quan softly: "My master asked the little maid to ask you, what is the intention of following all the way?" ”

Zhu Quan saw the tone of this little girl, and was slightly displeased in his heart, thinking that her master could play such elegant music, and even people like himself who didn't know anything about music and rhythm were unconsciously infected. He had in his heart the respect for the person who played the play, and the tone of his voice was very sincere.

At this time, the two small boats were already in two rows side by side, the two boats were very close to each other, and the people in the cabin of the black canopy heard Zhu Quan's sincere words, but their hearts moved slightly, recalling their rather troublesome family affairs, and a sense of confidant suddenly surged in their hearts.

The little maid in Tsing Yi turned back into the cabin, pursed her lips and smiled: "It turned out to be a silly boy, I heard the sound of your flute, Miss, and followed in the rain like a goose." ”

In the middle of the cabin sat a girl who was only twenty-eight years old, wearing a lilac shirt, but I saw that she was born with a thin waist and snow skin, a melon seed face like condensation, eyebrows like distant mountains and green daisies, a pair of big eyes like the bright moon in a deep pool, five fingers like spring onions gently caressing a spotted bamboo flute, leaning on the bulkhead, it seems a little lazy. Hearing the words of the little maid, her eyebrows were slightly lame, and she said unhappily: "You girl is rude and tight, why do you call people stupid geese?" ”

Zhu Quan was not far away, and he could hear the extremely soft voice of the woman in the cabin, and knew that the "stupid goose" that her master and maid were referring to in their mouths was not herself, but who was it? couldn't help but feel embarrassed, and thought to himself: I knew it was a young woman. I won't come with me.

The young lady turned her head sideways from the curtain on the small window of the cabin and vaguely saw Zhu Quan in the bow of an uncovered boat, facing the slight drizzle, her heart moved, and she called softly: "Since the son likes this song, it can be regarded as quite fateful, so please go with the boat, and wait for me to try to play a song again, please comment on it and correct one or two." She heard Zhu Quan say that she was infected by this song, and she also thought that he was a deep music and elegant person.

Zhu Quan heard her invitation, so he took out some broken silver for the boatman who got the boat for himself, as the fare, and gently stepped onto the stern of the canopy boat, and said in his heart: Ancient women seem to pay attention to things such as whether men and women give or receive kisses, so I just stand at the stern and listen to her play quietly.

When the curtain was lifted, the little maid in Tsing Yi got out of the cabin, handed him an oil-paper umbrella, and chuckled: "Don't be drenched in soup." ”

Zhu Quan heard her words and said in his heart: This little girl is really tricky. His eyes swept over the side of the little maid, but he vaguely saw the figure of a woman in a lilac shirt in the cabin leaning against the bulkhead, her face and figure were all covered by the little maid in green clothes, and she could only see the spotted bamboo flute gently held by her orchid-like five fingers. I was suddenly curious: I don't know what she looks like? Thinking of this, his face was also slightly red, and he secretly screamed ashamed, and said in his heart: What should I do if I care about whether other people's looks are beautiful or not?

The girl in the cabin only faintly saw Zhu Quan's figure through the curtain, but she didn't know anything about his expression, put the bamboo flute on Zhu's lips, and played it gently, with a low and melodious voice, which was the song that Zhu Quan had heard before.

In the light breeze and drizzle, Zhu Quan held an oil-paper umbrella, standing at the stern of the boat, rippling on the river with the waves, and many people who came into contact with this world seemed to be blown away by the flute and disappeared without a trace. At the end of the song, I suddenly came back to my senses.

I could only hear the extremely soft voice of the girl in the cabin: "The little woman's subtle skills are inevitably smiling and generous." Can this song "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" still enter the eyes of the son? ”

Zhu Quan smelled her humble tone, and seemed to regard himself as a person who is good at understanding music and rhythm, and waved his hand busily: "Don't misunderstand, I don't know anything about music." Speaking of this, he paused, sighed, and said: "I have had a lot of troubles in my family affairs recently, and I don't know why I heard the sound of your flute, girl, and I got some dilemmas and things that were not easy to decide. ”

The girl in the cabin heard Zhu Quan frankly admit that she couldn't understand the rhythm of music, and she was surprised in her heart, and she had to listen to Zhu Quan talk about family troubles, recalling her life experience, it turned out that she had been lonely since she was a child, and she was taken in and raised by her father-in-law, and she was very caring for herself, as if she were her own child. Thinking about it, although the father of the rebellion was an important minister in the court, he was very greedy for a position of power, and the implication of the eldest brother's conversation with him a few days ago seemed to intend to marry him to Xu Huizu, the son of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, a strange boy who had never been masked with himself. Thinking back to the kindness of his father's nurturing of him, he is also in a dilemma.

Zhu Quan sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "My father is an extremely shrewd and powerful person, but he has established my eldest brother, a kind and kind person, as the head of the family and inherited his family business. My fourth brother is also a scheming person, and he thinks that his talent is far better than that of his eldest brother, so he invited me to advance and retreat together to form an alliance. The most difficult part was that although my eldest brother cared for me, his son and a group of loyal subordinates became hostile to me and considered me to be their confidant. It's a dilemma for me. He felt that the struggle for imperial power between the father and son of the Zhu family was very sinister, so he compared the turbulent undercurrent in the temple to the struggle for power and profit within a family.

The girl couldn't help but be stunned when she heard Zhu Quan tell her thoughts, sighed secretly, and said in her heart: Even if I am in such a transposition with him, I am afraid it will be difficult to decide. Thinking of his own thoughts, I couldn't help but feel a sense of sympathy in my heart.

Zhu Quan suddenly smiled and said: I just listened to the girl's uplifting song, and I have already suddenly realized. What is the most important thing for a person? If even surviving in this world is a problem, where else can we talk about? In order to survive, no matter who you are against you, it cannot be counted as a mistake. In the music I listened to the girl play, it seemed to be quite a cold plum, and the tenacious vitality of Aoxue, shouldn't you be like this? ”

When the girl in purple heard Zhu Quan's words, she couldn't help but open her mouth and couldn't speak. To her, these remarks were tantamount to shocking and shocking the world. You must know that in this world, the literati are all deeply influenced by the Confucian atmosphere and advocate Mencius's remarks, the so-called mighty cannot be bent, and wealth cannot be lewd. It is Zhu Quan's remarks that later generations attach importance to life, which is tantamount to deviance. If Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and other well-educated people heard it with their own ears and did not denounce it, it would be called a clumsy and strange thing.
