Chapter 48: Quatrains
King Di carefully took out the handwriting inside, the white paper and black words were still familiar to him, but the handwriting was shaky, it can be imagined how serious the illness on the body of Concubine Xian should have been when she wrote this letter.
The tip of the king's nose was also slightly sour, and the two looked at the four sentences that did not match the words in front of them, and they all didn't know what to do-
Why should the green jade side be the pillow, and the fragrant daughter cherishes Qingning. Flicking the sword for the gap to go to the king, General Mojiao abandoned the sword and returned.
In just twenty-eight words, it taught the two to be confused.
Then the king thought for a moment and said: "Second brother, you have read a lot of poetry and books since you were a child, and Concubine Xian Niangniang is also a brilliant person, presumably there are some words that only you and your mother can be white. ”
King Di's eyebrows were tightly locked, as if he wanted to see through the paper, as if he wanted to see the original appearance of his mother behind the letter...... Suddenly, King Di muttered: "This first sentence is an adapted verse." The word 'amber' in the original poem was changed to 'green jade'. ”
Then the king nodded hesitantly and said, "I also remembered, this is a poem about corrupt officials and corrupt officials." ”
King Di slowly put down his hand, walked slowly back and forth in the hall, thought and thought, sighed endlessly, and couldn't find the reason after all, as if the whole room was frozen with time.
"The green jade side is a pillow...... Green jade pillow, green jade pillow. Fifth brother, green jade pillow? ”
Then the king raised his head, looked at King Di, and said, "Qingyu pillow? In our palace, is there anyone who uses pillows made of green jade? After that, the king thought about it carefully, and it took a long time to react, and said, "That can only be the pious king!" ”
King Di also turned around, slapped the table and said, "Yes, King Qian has accepted bribes for so many years, and this poem is very accurate to describe him!" ”
"What about the second sentence?" Then the king read: "Hanxiang's daughter cherishes Qingning, Hanxiang's daughter cherishes Qingning?" Could it be literal? ”
King Di's words seemed to be close to the ears of King Sui: "Incense is the incense hall, is it the incense hall of Concubine De?" In this way, is it referring to Concubine De's daughter? What is Qingning, does it refer to the queen's Qingning Palace? ”
Then the king also got up, approached the king of Di, and said, "Is there any connection between the two?" Second brother, in addition to the letter that Concubine Xian handed over to you that day, did she give you any other objects? ”
"No, just this letter. But I also think that something is missing, according to the mother's heart, what she wants to do, she should be more prepared. ”
Then the king replied: "Maybe the virtuous concubine was already terminally ill at that time, and it was too late to prepare?" ”
King Di bowed his head, perhaps thinking that his words were reasonable, so he said: "Then what do the third and fourth sentences mean?" Flicking the sword for the gap to go to the king, General Mojiao abandoned the sword and returned. Who is the sword whisk for? Who is going to go to the king? Who is the general referring to? ”
Then the king shook his head, "Second brother, your series of questions completely dizzy me. ”
King Di sighed and said in a low voice, "When will the general abandon his sword and return?" ”
Then the king hesitated a little and said, "I can only surrender, general, do you mean Sikong Jun?" It's true that there is only one person on the expedition now, but, but how can we be sure......
King Di raised his hand and motioned for King Sui to be silenced.
"Fifth brother," King Di's voice was calm: "That's why Miss Shuangdie asked me to open this letter today, Miss Shuangdie must know what my mother thought before she died, so she specially chose this time period for you to come and tell me." ”
Then the king agreed and nodded.
King Di frowned and blinked, and sighed: "It's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, fifth brother, you go back first, if I have any ideas, I will definitely ask someone to tell you." In fact, my father grounded me here, and a few of them were my own eyeliner, so you and Su Jieyu don't have to worry too much about me. ”
Then the king picked up his sword, "That's good, second brother, I'm most worried about you now." After that, the king made a gesture, said goodbye to King Di, and walked quickly towards the outside of King Di's mansion.
The sun is fine in Chang'an City, and there is no feeling of undercurrent. Even King Sui also had a momentary illusion, as if he was still coming back from playing with King Di in the past, and it was really just an ordinary thing.
Then the sword scabbard in the king's hand was tightened, and he quickly stepped on his horse again, imprinted the contents of the letter deeply in his mind, and galloped towards the Great Yin Palace.
Qiao Hua and King Sui finished writing the secret letter together, and in this way, Sikong Jun, who was far away in Queensland, learned the news that Xiao Heling was arrested in the palace.
In the end, it is difficult to calm down.
When he first received the secret letter, Sikong Jun's mind could not calm down for a long time, the woman who had galloped with him in the mountains and forests had changed her name to Qiao Hua and became an unknown woman in the Shanggong Bureau.
Sikong Jun looked at the crooked crescent moon, and muttered words in his mouth: "Ling'er, I still broke my promise, now that the moon is full a few times, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to drink wine with you under the moon like before......"
One of his subordinates entered the camp tent with a happy face: "Lord Tongjun, the soldiers outside are still waiting for you to drink the celebration wine!" I heard that His Majesty specially asked you to return to the palace to report on your work during the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet. ”
Sikong Jun wiped his eyebrows and forced a smile: "Yes, yes, it's a good thing, all the brothers have contributed a lot in the past few months, and they are all strong men of my Datang!" ”
The subordinates were elated, "Then the subordinates went out to cook wine first, general, you can pack up and come out." With that, he withdrew.
Sikong Jun's throat trembled, and he looked at the night sky like ink, and the crescent moon that was still there just now had been obscured by dark clouds. Sikong Jun pinched the piece of letterhead, and the tears in his eyes never slipped down: "Ling'er...... I've won the battle, and I can go back to the palace to celebrate with you......"
The bonfire outside reflected the camp tent yellow, and no matter how long he was singing, Sikong Jun only felt that the tent was lonely, and there was no one to share joy and sorrow with him.
Where is the northwest looking township, and the southeast is full of the moon.
Seeing that it is almost August 15, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival of "autumn twilight and sunset", that is, everyone in the palace needs to worship the moon god. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace wants to hold a cold and moon festival, first of all, you need to set up an incense table, on which in addition to moon cakes, you must also put watermelon, grapes and other seasonal fruits in autumn. The emperor specially instructed that moon cakes and watermelons were indispensable, and even ordered the chef to specially cut the watermelon into the shape of a lotus flower, which was very moving.
However, this year's harvest was not good, and the pacification of Queensland and the war with Li Keyong in previous years had already consumed a lot of financial and labor resources. Therefore, this year's rice, wheat, and fruit yields have been reduced a lot, and silk has also decreased.
