Chapter 14: Concubine Min
Three years have passed, since Bian Xi entered the court as an official, was named Yuyin, and traveled around the mountains and rivers in the name of the king of Chu to find jade, the eunuch Min Sui began his crazy plan to seize power...... In the harem, he relied on his relationship with Min Zhu to win the favor of the king and become the chief eunuch!
Above the court, he constantly purged dissidents and fostered his own power...... Outside the court, he constantly showed favor to Bian Xi, but he spread his eyeliner widely and secretly spied on him!
Everything the eunuch "Min Sui" has done, only for the anger in his heart, how far away is the road of revenge, he will go up and down and seek?
In the Wenzhu Palace, the lights are bright, the attendants are lined up on both sides, the copper furnace is sandalwood, the front of the palace is winding, the four o'clock Yale, soothing and melodious!
"Minister, Bian Xi, see the king, may my king live forever!"
Bian Xi, dressed in white and dressed like a great Confucian, got up and stood with his head down after performing the etiquette of the audience!
Xiong Yun, the king of Chu, with his concubine Min Zhu, was sitting on the throne above the main hall in the Wenzhu Palace at this time, and when he saw the very elegant Bian Xi, he couldn't help but feel a fever in his heart, so he asked with concern: "Farewell for three years, Bian Xi, are you finally back?" ”
"Thank you to my king, the minister is very good, Bian Xi is back, and he also brought a shocking secret to the king?"
Jin Se gratuitously fifty strings, one string and one pillar Si Hua Nian. Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, and hopes that the emperor will trust the cuckoo in spring.
There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. This situation can be recalled, but it was already clear at the time.
This poem from the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin's "Jin Se" blurted out in Bian Xi's mouth, without any tie or sense of disobedience, just because his incarnation Xie Feng came to this era that should not belong to him with all the memories of later generations!
King Chu looked at Bian Xi with an ignorant expression, and then looked at Concubine Min with a sideways face, as if he wanted to ask her with his eyes, what was Bian Xi talking about just now......
"Lord Yuyin, what you just said was ...... It's not like the popular Chu Ci Song Fu, it's more like your new work, the king and I don't know much about it, is there your so-called big secret here? ”
Concubine Min quietly looked at Bian Xi under the steps in front of the hall, only to feel that the face was familiar and unfamiliar, and the residual memories also instantly stirred up all kinds of past when she was a child......
That's right, it's him, Bian Xi, his second brother, so many years have passed, I didn't expect to see each other again, but it's a pity that the family has been dispersed and people have passed away...... All kinds of past events weigh on my heart!
Although Min Zhu was full of excitement in her heart, at this moment, she held back her tears, didn't say a word, and calmly made herself feel a little terrible?
Now, she doesn't plan to recognize her second brother Bian Xi in front of King Chu! She once told the king of Chu that her family had long since died...... Even his own eldest brother, the eunuch Min Sui, only said that he was his savior!
As for the reason, Min Zhu thinks that it is not that he does not say it, but the time has not yet come...... As a secret, it can only be hidden deep in your own heart!
"Niangniang, what you said is good, Chen Bian Xi, see Concubine Min!"
Looking at the graceful and luxurious woman in front of her, between her eyebrows, there seems to be the shadow of her sister Azhu? After Bian Xi gave his hand again, his heart was like a mixture, and all kinds of tastes instantly came to his heart!
"My lord, Niangniang, as I said just now...... It's really not Chu Ci Songfu, of course, it's not my own masterpiece, it's just a borrowing from others to imply its meaning......
In the past three years, I have eaten the king's luck, been loyal to the king's affairs, and borne the king's worries! "Xi" searched for beautiful jade for the king, and traveled all over the great rivers and mountains of Chu State, but unfortunately, such as "He's Bi" and other important treasures of the country, are already available but not sought!
coincided with the summons of the king, on the way home...... I met an old man with a childish face, living alone in the mountains, at the Tanxi River, on the boulder, fishing for fun, a pot of turbid wine, half a bowl of tea, not asking about the world, leisurely!
Seeing this, "Xi" knew that he was a master, so he stepped forward to give a salute, and then drank with him, the wine passed three rounds, the tea passed the five flavors, and the conversation was to the end, so he couldn't help but chant the poem just now......
After hearing this, the old man was surprised, and then he also made a proverb attached to it: "The east is adjacent to the Jieshi, to view the sea, the mermaid has tears, the moon is bright like a pearl, the blue field is warm, the purple jade is smoking, never abandoned, the white paper is red, Qin destroys the six countries, and Qin will die." With that, the old man was relieved, and there was no trace of him, only the lingering sound lingered, floating between the empty valleys!
It's because I can't figure it out......
So "Xi" was alone, on the boulder at the mountain stream and Tanxi, pondered and meditated for three days and three nights, and finally realized the deep meaning of the old man? ”
Xie Feng of later generations, incarnated Bian Xi in his previous life, in that era, he weaved a white lie, in order to let the king of Chu let him cruise outside with peace of mind...... Only by leaving the center of the imperial court, the land of right and wrong, can he see more clearly, and continue to implement his plan!
"Lord Bian Xi, you are really talented, in addition to Xiangyu, poetry and songs, you are also proficient, Chu has you, it is indeed Pengsheng brilliant...... Let me ask, what is the meaning of those poems and proverbs you just mentioned? ”
After Concubine Min was silent for a long time, she stared closely at Bian Xi at the bottom of the stairs, and asked slowly and unhurriedly, what she asked was just what King Chu Wen thought......
"Yes, Bian Xi, you can answer your questions and re-annotate the poems and proverbs you just said, so that Gu and Concubine Min can thoroughly understand the mystery, and it is not in vain that you have worked hard for three years of travel and met a master...... In short, you are not mortals, how can you have a 'vulgar' word? ”
"Hehe, Niangniang praised, my king has a good reputation, Bian Xi is indeed a vulgar person, and he is also vulgar...... It's just that when you meet the master, you get his favor, and occasionally take advantage of your tongue, but this time it's really as the poem says, and there are shocking secrets hidden in the proverbs? ”
"The poems spoken by the minister, analyzed sentence by sentence, to the effect that they ......"
