Chapter 8 is sincere

After watching the first half of "Changban Slope", Xue Yumei's "The Drunken Concubine" is about to open, Li Cunqiao has not come to the opera garden to watch the play for a long time, and today I just enjoyed Yumei's play. Yang Guifei, played by Yumei, appeared to sing "Island Ice Wheel":

The island ice wheel began to turn and saw the jade rabbit, and the jade rabbit rose eastward early

The ice wheel is very far from the island, and the moon is in the sky

Just like Chang'e away from the Moon Palace, slave like Chang'e away from the Moon Palace, like Chang'e off the Moon Palace, like Chang'e under the ninefold

Qing Qing is cold in Guanghan Palace, in Guanghan Palace

The jade bridge reclines and puts the railing against the mandarin ducks to play in the water

The golden carp is facing on the water, ah, on the water

The geese in the sky are flying, the geese are flying, the geese are flying, the geese are flying

The geese and the flying slave sounded the sound of the falling flowers, this scenery was sultry, and I didn't realize that I came to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion

This song is sung on the stage with tenderness like water, long and beautiful, and the audience is fascinated by it. The next highlights: After Yang Guifei was drunk, she smelled the flowers in the lying fish, drank with the cup and drank at the waist, drunk steps, and fan dance, which was completely a body dance art, which was very difficult, and Yumei performed a stretch and elegant, natural and smooth, full of charm, and showed Yang Guifei's drunken charm vividly and beautifully. The people in the audience all held their breath, their eyes looked at Yang Guifei on the stage fixedly, for fear of missing Yang Guifei's eyes, a smile, and the audience only had the sound of musical instruments playing, not even a cough.

After the end, Li Cunmiao walked quickly into the backstage. Entering the small dressing room, no matter if Yumei hadn't removed her makeup, she hugged Yumei and kissed her, so that her face and mouth were full of oil paint, and Yumei's makeup was also spent. Yumei asked, "What's wrong with you?" Li Cunqiao said: "Yumei, you are too good!" It's just fascinating! Yumei modestly said: "How can it be so good?" Daddy said he needed to practice. Li Cunqiao said: "My Li Cunqiao's lady was originally the first Tsing Yi in Liyuan!" At this time, the two suddenly saw their two big faces in the mirror, and couldn't help laughing.

Yumei quickly took off her makeup, pulled Li Cunqiao and told her father Xue Ziang to go first. The two took Li Cunmiao's carriage back to the small courtyard on the edge of the palace. The maid has already prepared hot water, and every time she comes back from the theater, Yumei has to take a bath. Li Cunmiao followed Yumei into the bathing room and made a gesture for the maid to go out. Yumei turned around and found Li Cunmiao, and immediately blushed: "You go out quickly, I want to bathe." Li Cunmiao smiled hippiely: "I also want to bathe, or let's do it together." Yumei didn't follow, and pushed Li Cunqiao: "You go out quickly." Li Cunmiao took the opportunity to hug Yumei and untie her clothes. The fair and smooth skin can be broken by blowing, and the bumpy figure is delicate and delicate, Yumei shyly put her hands in front of her plump chest, jumped into the big wooden basin and squatted. Li Cunmiao couldn't bear it, took off the clothes on his body three times and twice, jumped into the wooden basin, and said with a smile: "Lady, I'll take a mandarin duck bath with you." "You're necrotic!" Yumei picked up the water with her hand and splashed it on Li Cunmiao's face, Li Cunmiao hugged Yumei's trembling body in the water, and kissed Yumei's cherry mouth, Yumei lay softly in Li Cunmiao's arms, and Li Cunmiao gently washed Yumei's body with water.

Li Cunmiao brought Guo Chongtao, Li Siyuan, and Zhou Dewei to discuss how to use troops against Youzhou in Yanguo. Li Cunmiao said: "Now, if we send troops to attack Youzhou, Yan will inevitably pour the strength of the whole country to confront me, I am afraid that the war will be stalemate, and it will be difficult for us to win quickly." Once the eastern front reaches a stalemate, the Khitan in the north and the Liang state in the south will take the opportunity to attack us again, and the Jin state will be in danger. Guo Chongtao responded: "What the King of Jin said is extremely true, for the sake of today's plan, we should find a way to raid the Yan Kingdom and quickly solve the threat in the east." Li Siyuan and others also agreed with this opinion. Li Cunqiao asked, "What does Liu Shouguang think now?" Guo Chongtao said: "Liu Shouguang usurped the throne by placing his father under house arrest, and he most wanted to be recognized and supported by others. Li Cunqiao said: "It makes sense, keep talking." Guo Chongtao said: "If we show weakness, show favor to Liu Shouguang, and recognize his throne, he will definitely relax his vigilance against us, and then we will be able to launch another surprise attack." Li Cunmiao paced back and forth for a few steps, then stopped and said: "To do a full set of plays, we will adopt the strategy of arrogance, as the saying goes: If you want to destroy him, it is better to make him crazy first." We united the envoys of Chengde, Yiwu, Zhaoyi, Zhenwu, and Tiande to send envoys to respect Liu Shouguang as the leader of the alliance, so that Liu Shouguang will inevitably become more and more inflated and do a lot of stupid and unethical things. If we have more help for the righteous and less help for the unjust, then it will be a matter of course for us to send troops to win. "Everyone said it was a brilliant plan.

Li Cunmiao immediately revised the book, and sent envoys to secretly contact the five towns of Chengde, Yiwu, Zhaoyi, Zhenwu, and Tiande, plus the six towns of Jinyang, and took the initiative to present a table to Liu Shouguang in Youzhou, and enshrined him as the father of the Seven Towns Alliance. Liu Shouguang really thought that the six towns were afraid of him, his ambition began to swell, and he was arrogant, and he didn't even pay attention to Liang and Khitan, so he naturally offended and alienated Liang and Khitan.

Liu Shouguang ignored the opposition of his subordinate ministers and generals, and changed the title of emperor in Youzhou, with the country name Dayan. This is tantamount to making all localities bow down to him, causing great dissatisfaction among the separatist forces in various places.

Seeing that the time was ripe, in December of this year, Li Cunqiao ordered Zhou Dewei to go out of Feihukou, Hebei, and unite Chengde Town and Yiwu Town to jointly conquer Liu Shouguang. In the spring of the next day, Zhou Dewei captured Zhuozhou and entered the siege of Youzhou.

Liu Shouguang hurriedly asked Liang Guo for help. Zhu Wen received a letter from Yan Guo asking for help, although he was dissatisfied with Liu Shouguang, he was even more afraid that the Jin State's occupation of Youzhou would greatly increase its power. So he personally led the army north, ordered Yang Shihou to besiege Zaoqiang, and ordered He Delun to attack Hebei County.

Li Cunqiao asked Zhou Dewei to retreat after Zaoqiang's pretended resistance, allowing the Liang army to occupy Zaoqiang, and successfully pinning down and attracting the Liang army. At the same time, he quietly dispatched the Jin generals Jiutaibao Li Cunshen and Shi Jianjiao to concentrate superior forces to defeat the main force of the Liang army in Beixian. When Zhu Wen got the news of the defeat, he shouted angrily: "This king has been fighting for thirty years, and Li Keyong has fought with me with more defeats and fewer victories, and now he is defeated at the hands of his son, Maotou boy, I am really angry!" Zhu Wen became ill with shame and returned to Luoyang.

Zhu Wen made Zhang Quanyi's family escape the summer after the festival, and lived in Zhang Quanyi's house for 15 days, Zhu Wen saw that Zhang Quanyi's wife and daughter were beautiful, so he forced his wife and daughter to come to bed with him, and Zhu Wen did his best. Zhang Quanyi's son was so angry that he wanted to slash Zhu Wen, but Zhang Quanyi persuaded him to stop it.

After Zhu Wen returned to Luoyang, his condition worsened, and he wanted to be crowned as an heir. He knew that his parents and children could not be used, and only his adopted son Zhu Youwen could still be successful. plus incest against Zhu Wen, and he didn't let go of his daughter-in-law. And Zhu Wen's sons not only have no shame about Zhu Wen's incest, but they actually use their wives to compete for favor, win favor, and compete for the storage position. Zhu Wen's adopted son Zhu Youwen's wife Wang is beautiful, Zhu Wen loves her very much, and Zhu Wen intends to pass on the throne to Zhu Youwen. So Zhu Wen handed over the jade seal of the country to Zhu Youwen's wife, Wang, and asked him to go to the eastern capital of Bianzhou to recall Zhu Youwen.

Zhu Wen's biological son Zhu Youwen's wife also served by Zhu Wen's side day and night, and when she knew about it, she secretly told Zhu Youqi and said: "Everyone (referring to Zhu Wen) handed over the jade seal of the country to Zhu Youwen's wife, Wang, and asked her to go to the eastern capital to recall Zhu Youwen, and our death is approaching!" Zhu Youqi said unwillingly: "I am everyone's own son, and I will not pass it on to me, but I want to pass it on to outsiders." Instead of sitting and waiting, let's take a fight! He then used the palace attendants at his disposal to carry out a palace coup. At midnight that night, Zhu Youqi led people into the palace, and he ordered his subordinate Feng Tingge to kill Zhu Wen.

Li Cunmiao got the news of the coup d'état of Liang State and the killing of Zhu Wen, and was happy and angry: "In this way, the threat of Liang State can be temporarily alleviated, but it is a pity that Zhu Wen is dead, and he has not been able to complete his father's request for revenge, and he has stabbed this thief." Then he ordered: "This is a godsend, the eastern front will step up the attack on Youzhou!" ”

The Jin army connected Shunyi, Miyun, Xuanhua, Pingzhou and Chaoyang (Chaoyang, Liaoning) and other places in Youzhou.

In 913, Zhu Youzhen, the son of Zhu Wen of Liang, staged a coup d'état, killed Zhu Youqi, and seized the throne.

In November of that year, Li Cunqiao personally conquered Yanguo, broke through Youzhou, and captured Liu Rengong, Liu Shouguang and his son, who were imprisoned by Liu Shouguang. He left Zhou Dewei to guard Youzhou. After Li Cunmiao returned to Jinyang, he executed Liu Rengong's father and son to pay tribute to Li Keyong, and broke one of the three arrows that Li Keyong gave him for revenge before his death.

Li Cunmiao was ready to marry Xue Yumei and canonize her as the princess of the Jin Dynasty, but the ministers objected, thinking that Xue Yumei was born in a pear orchard and was not a famous family, so she could not be established as a concubine. Li Cunmiao was very displeased, and after the dispersal, Xue Yumei saw that Li Cunmiao was depressed, so she asked, "Why is my husband unhappy today?" Li Cunmiao looked at Yumei, afraid that telling her the words of the ministers would hurt her heart, so she didn't know how to answer. He said, "It's nothing, it's just some troubles in the court." Alas, this King of Jin is not as comfortable as singing. Yumei sneered, pointed at the tip of Li Cunqiao's nose with her slender fingers, and said with a smile: "How can there be a king like you, who doesn't want to be a king, but envy singing." Li Cunqiao said: "Although wealth and wealth have only been in the emperor's family since ancient times, I think the emperor's family has its own troubles, and everything is not as desired." Yumei looked at Li Cunmiao's eyes and said: "To be a king, you need to have the people of the world in mind, naturally you can't do what you want, you have to attract talents, so that you can become a Ming monarch." Li Cunqiao praised: "The lady still understands the way of the emperor." Yumei modestly said: "How do I know this, I learned it all in the drama." Li Cunqiao said: "Yes, in fact, there are many principles of rise and fall and ways of being a person in the drama, which is also one of the reasons why I like to listen to the opera." Xue Yumei saw that Li Cunmiao was in a better mood, so she said: "Husband, why don't Yumei sing a paragraph to you to relieve your boredom." Li Cunmiao opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Excellent, great, the lady is really empathetic, and the lady's singing can cure all diseases." Yumei smiled sweetly: "Husband sit down, Yumei will sing a song of Yang Guifei's "Ode to Pear Blossoms". ”

Pear blossoms bloom, spring brings rain

The pear blossoms fall, and the spring enters the mud

This life is only for one person

Dao He is also infatuated with the king

It's hard to give up on being beautiful

It's hard to give up on being beautiful

Long hatred is a song for eternity

Long hatred for a thousand years

Li Cunmiao was stunned, and it wasn't until Yumei finished singing that he woke up from the play, he held Yumei's hand tightly, and asked, "Why did I never know that there was still this scene, how many surprising scenes do you have." Yumei smiled mischievously: "Fujun is really a drama idiot, Yumei has been playing since elementary school, and after more than ten years, she still knows a lot of plays." This play has not yet been discharged, only this lyric. Let my husband try it today. Li Cunmiao hugged Yumei lovingly, kissed Yumei deeply on her cherry lips, and said in Yumei's ear: "For the husband, you have to taste the freshness of the lady." Yumei was ashamed, and gently beat Li Cunqiao with a powder fist.

The next day, Li Cunmiao opened Yumei and told Xue Ziang that the ministers did not agree to establish Yumei as the main palace, Li Cunmiao said hatefully: "These old stubborn people, there are only some famous families in their eyes, where is my Yumei inferior to these famous ladies, I think it is a hundred times stronger than them." I will never let Yumei suffer the slightest grievance, I have to be the main palace. Xu Ziang worried: "If you forcibly establish Yumei as the main palace, those ministers and the harem will target Yumei, and Yumei's life will not be easy at that time." Li Cunmiao said sternly: "With me here, see who dares to be disrespectful to Yumei, provoke me, and kill them all!" Yumei suddenly appeared: "I've been listening outside the door for a while, my husband can't be openly hostile to the ministers because of me, which is not good for the country and the people, Yumei can't let His Majesty bear the infamy because she is the main palace." Li Cunmiao took Yumei's hand: "But I don't want you to suffer any grievances." Yumei said emotionally: "Husband, as long as you always love me and love me, and stay by my side, Yumei doesn't care about any status such as the main palace and concubine." Li Cunqiao said: "Otherwise, I will make you a concubine first, and after a few years, the ministers are used to and know your virtue, and I am making you the main palace." Xue Yumei said: "Actually, I don't want to enter the palace, there is intrigue in the harem all day long, and the concubines compete for favor and jealousy, I don't want to live in this environment." I'm still willing to act, and it's good to be like this. On weekdays, when you are busy with state affairs, I don't have to stay alone in the empty room, I play my favorite plays in the theater, and when my husband is free, Yumei accompanies my husband. Li Cunmiao was greatly moved: "Yumei, you really understand righteousness, but this makes you miserable!" "Yumei is not bitter, Yumei has what she likes to do, and her husband who loves me is by her side, Yumei feels that she is the happiest woman in the world."
