Volume 1 Kyoto Chapter 20 Invitation to Changzhou

The next morning, the sun broke through the dark clouds of last night, like a sharp sword, cutting through the dark night!

The veil of fog formed by the night rain swirled and swirled, like wisps of light smoke, gradually shattering, and a familiar young man was once again ushered in on the cliff of the Great Prince's Mansion.

Gu Haoyue took a brocade scroll and came to the cliff under the leadership of Qin Yun, and it happened that Qin Feng and the three of them were dining. The breakfast was much richer than the last time Gu Haoyue came, and the pineapple cake from the Gujian Inn was also on the plate.

Seeing Gu Haoyue's arrival, Jiang Youlan politely invited to share breakfast, Gu Haoyue was polite, but under Qin Yun's pull, she also sat in the cave, several people chatted while eating, and rarely moved chopsticks, but there was still a small half of the original food for the three of them.

Qin Feng hadn't slept all night, he was slightly tired, his brows were furrowed during the meal, and he didn't say a word, which made Gu Haoyue smell an unwelcome smell.

After the meal, it was naturally Xixiang who cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, Qin Feng had something in his heart, and he didn't want to stay in the cave, so he went to help, Jiang Youlan, Gu Haoyue and Qin Yun were left in the cave, Gu Haoyue looked at Qin Feng's unreasonable expression outside the cave, and her disgust for it increased a little more.

Gu Haoyue put away her useless irritability and unfolded the brocade scroll in her hand on the boulder in the cave, which was to the point, explaining the intention of coming to visit.

The brocade scroll is a detailed topographic map of Changzhou and the extreme surroundings of the Great Luo Empire, Gu Haoyue pointed to the Changzhou mountain range, followed the trend of the mountain range and briefly outlined the principle of the frequent occurrence of drought in Changzhou, stroked his palm and said:

The princess can know that Changzhou has been experiencing frequent droughts for several years, and this year is a rare occurrence in a century, and the court appointed the five princes to be responsible for disaster relief. ”

Jiang Youlan shook her head slightly when she heard this, and said carefully: "The world and the earth are gathered by the power of nature, and the way of heaven and then the soul of the people, Changzhou is the place of Tibetan wind, and there is no water, how can we solve the suffering of drought!"

Gu Haoyue looked at Jiang Youlan appreciatively, and slowly responded: "The princess is proficient in heaven and earth, Gu admires, as the princess said, Changzhou is a land without water, and how can manpower resist the law of nature, as long as the people are in Changzhou, they will not be able to escape the scourge of this drought, so Gu suggested that the prince let the people of Changzhou move out of here." ”

"Migration? Since ancient times, the relocation of regions has been a major event of the imperial court, and it is related to the fortune of the country, and it needs to be approved by His Majesty, and the fifth prince is afraid that he will not be able to be the master. Jiang Youlan asked rhetorically with a little confusion.

Gu Haoyue nodded, with a smug look on her face, and said:

"Indeed, the relocation of Changzhou is a matter of great importance, although it is beneficial to the people, but it also touches the interests of some powerful people in the court, and the five princes are also quite worried, so they report to Your Majesty, get Your Majesty's decree, scheduled for the fifteenth of next month, presided over by Gu, a state discussion meeting will be held in the academy, and the young talents of the Daluo Empire can participate. ”

When Gu Haoyue said this, Qin Yun's eyes were full of admiration when she looked at Gu Haoyue, the young man in front of her was only twenty, and he was actually able to be entrusted by His Majesty to preside over such a major state affair, and his knowledge and talent were indeed admirable.

Thinking of this, Qin Yun couldn't help but compare Gu Haoyue with his brother Qin Feng, feeling that the two of them were like Haoyue and his fireflies, hey, his brother, who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, if he had half of Gu Gongzi's ability, he wouldn't let his father worry so much.

When Qin Yun was thinking for a while, Gu Haoyue suddenly got up, bowed to Jiang Youlan, and at the same time handed over a gilt seal, and invited sincerely:

Gu sincerely invited the princess to participate in this state affairs meeting, to give advice to the people of Changzhou and solve the suffering of the people. ”

Jiang Youlan took the invitation, but her face showed a deep sadness, and then she laughed self-deprecatingly:

"Gu Gongzi looks up to the little woman so much, Jiang Youlan is grateful in her heart, but now my situation Gongzi may not be clear. ”

Speaking of this, Jiang Youlan's gaze turned to Qin Feng, who was sitting side by side with Xixiang outside the cave, with a bitter expression, and said lonely: "I am confined to the Great Prince's Mansion, and without the consent of the Great Prince and his wife, I can't leave here even half a step." ”

Qin Yun heard that Jiang Youlan's body couldn't help herself, and she couldn't bear it, so she took the initiative to take her hand and said with concern: "Sister Jiang, don't worry, Gu Gongzi has already seen my mother before, and explained the intention, my mother said that since it is for the benefit of the people of the world, she can naturally go." ”

Then he took out an identical invitation from his arms, shook it in front of Jiang Youlan's eyes, and said playfully: "I also received an invitation from Gu Gongzi, and I will accompany my sister when I arrive, so that I can casually meet these young talents in the empire." ”

Jiang Youlan looked at Qin Yun with a smile, this well-behaved sister liked her quite much, and then turned her gaze to Gu Haoyue, only to see Gu Haoyue nodding with a smile, indicating that what Qin Yun said before was true, and then she replied gratefully:

"Gu Gongzi has a heart, since this is the case, I will accompany Sister Qin Yun to take a look. ”

Gu Haoyue was overjoyed in her heart, bowed again, and said with a little joy in her words: "If the princess can go, she will definitely show her talents at this meeting. ”

"The book!" Gu Haoyue mentioned the book in her words, Jiang Youlan's eyes couldn't help but light up, and her excitement overflowed on her face.

"Yes, the reward letter, princess, whether you can get free and return to your homeland depends on your performance at this seminar. ”

After speaking, Gu Haoyue took out a book from her sleeve, which described in detail the various specific matters of the relocation of Changzhou, and the records were extremely detailed.

This book must have taken Gu Haoyue's hard work, from the relocation of household registration, land allocation, new city site selection, tax and labor, etc., there are detailed and operable methods, Jiang Youlan looked at Gu Haoyue gratefully, and said sincerely: "Gu Gongzi is very gracious, and the little woman remembers it in her heart." ”

Then, the three of them discussed in detail about the relocation of Changzhou in the cave, and Xixiang sat outside the cave with Qin Feng, watching the sunset and the wind rising and falling, and talking about his own thoughts endlessly.

As for Qin Feng, he read a thick book of "Ten Thousand Treasures of Cultivation" for a whole day, and the commonly used objects in the cultivation world were annotated one by one, such as the array disk used to cast the formation, the Yun Dan sac used for alchemy, and the letter eagle used for communication...... There are also shadow beads for recording images, etc., whose specific functions, effects and usage methods, Qin Feng silently kept them in his heart.

Gu Haoyue and Jiang Youlan had an in-depth discussion on the relocation of Changzhou, and they both benefited each other a lot, Jiang Youlan was the princess of the principality, and she was quite familiar with state affairs, and put forward several key opinions on Gu Haoyue's migration plan, which made the plan more perfect.

Jiang Youlan's beauty and knowledge made Gu Haoyue admire, and her admiration was a little more than before, until sunset, and she reluctantly proposed to say goodbye.

Gu Haoyue got up to say goodbye, and when she was about to leave, Jiang Youlan returned the book on the relocation of Changzhou to Gu Haoyue.

"Princess, what does this mean?" Jiang Youlan's approach made Gu Haoyue quite puzzled.

Jiang Youlan pursed her lips and smiled, and said softly: "The relocation of Changzhou must have cost Gu Gongzi a lot of thought, although Jiang Youlan yearns for freedom, but she can't do anything like a magpie's nest dove occupying and deceiving the world and stealing fame. ”

Gu Haoyue nodded appreciatively, and was not pretentious, put away the book, and said with an oath:

"The princess sees Li Siyi, noble conduct, admirable, Gu is a cultivator, has long looked down on the worldly reputation, relieved the people in suffering, and did the things of heaven, this is a matter within the scope of my practice, if I am fortunate enough to be rewarded by Your Majesty, I will implore Your Majesty to return the princess to freedom. ”

These words were said extremely sincerely, and his voice was loud, but it was a bit like he deliberately said it to Qin Feng outside the cave.

Jiang Youlan smiled gratefully and bowed to each other, Gu Haoyue showed her attitude, and she had an extra responsibility in her heart, and it was imperative for her to move to Changzhou.

Walking out of the cave, the sunset was shining, Qin Feng was still looking at the book "Ten Thousand Treasures of Cultivation" in his hand, but Xixiang was a little sleepy, leaning on Qin Feng's shoulder and taking a nap.

Gu Haoyue knows that the streets and alleys of Kyoto have been talking about the young man in front of him recently, and the songs "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and "Phoenix Seeking Phoenix" are classics in terms of music scores and lyrics. I never thought that the arrogant, lascivious, arrogant and domineering young man in the past would have such a talent in music.

Gu Haoyue walked a few steps, and Lang Lang said: "With such a beautiful scenery and a beautiful woman to read, Qin Shizi is really good and blessed." ”

Qin Feng held Xixiang's head with one hand and gently lowered it from his shoulder, then slowly got up, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Gu Gongzi is worried about the country and the people, which is admirable. ”

Gu Haoyue bowed slightly, changed the topic, and mentioned: "The song "Smiling Proud Jianghu" created by Qin Shizi when he was drunk made the world admire, and the prince is so talented. ”

"That song wasn't created by me!" Qin Feng replied indifferently.

Gu Haoyue smiled disappreciatively, and said with three points of arrogance:

"Qin Shizi is fooling Gu, Gu also knows a little bit about the rhythm of music, this song "Smiling Proud Jianghu", no matter the lyrics of the song, there is no record, it was not created by Shizi, who could it be? Qin Shizi has this talent, so why hide it. ”

"I can't drink too much, I fell asleep soon after I went upstairs that day, how could I co-create a score with Miss Xiao Mengying, the words have come to this, believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me. After speaking, Qin Feng turned around, opened the book in his hand, and continued to read in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Gu Haoyue frowned slightly, with a little displeasure in her expression, she was the personal disciple of Cangyue Zhenren, the elder of Yuanyangguan of the Daluo Empire, although her identity was not as good as that of the eldest prince, but since entering Beijing, people who have interacted with each other have treated each other with courtesy, regardless of their official position, but the young man in front of him has a faint disdain and arrogance in his words and deeds, and because of him, Jiang Youlan is grounded here, and he can't help but be a little angry.

"I heard that the prince donated tens of millions of Luo coins for the drought in Changzhou, and his majesty was admirable in mind, and His Majesty held a state discussion meeting in the academy in order to solve the difficulty of Changzhou without water, if Qin Shizi is free, he can also come to listen. ”

Qin Feng likes Fengyue, and he may be talented in poetry and songs, but he can be said to know nothing about civil construction, canal and weir dredging and other state affairs.

What's more, the phrase "come and listen to it" is like charity.

Qin Feng knew such a trick in his heart, neither debunked nor answered, leaving only a back, indifferent to Gu Haoyue. Suddenly, Gu Haoyue had a sense of self-deprecation that she was fighting hard but hitting the air.

Qin Feng's attitude of ignoring it, Qin Yun, who was standing on the side, secretly complained in his heart, and even felt that it hurt Gu Gongzi's face, so he couldn't help pulling the corner of Qin Feng's coat and said in a low voice: "Brother, such an opportunity is not common, it is rare for Gu Gongzi to invite, so let's go together." ”

For this sister, although Qin Feng didn't have much contact, he could see that he was innocent and childlike, so he smiled sideways and whispered to her: "Write it down!"

Gu Haoyue's eyebrows were frowned, faintly exuding a rebellious aura, and she said in a low voice: "Since this is the case, Gu will no longer bother, princess, Miss Qin, say goodbye." ”
