Chapter 11 Tong Guan Yi (4)
It was the night when the white snow tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep, and it was not until dawn that he closed his eyes in a daze. The next morning, he came to Shen Lingshan's house, and happened to serve Shen Lingshan's little maid, who happened to be serving Shen Lingshan, and walked out of the house with the copper fish wash that was washed, and Bai Yixue asked, "How is Miss Shen's body?"
The little girl's eyes turned red, and she choked up: "Miss Shen is afraid that it is...... I'm afraid it's going to be ......."
Bai Yixue swallowed her tears and stood silent. The little maid's eyes were full of tears, and she said, "Bai Gongzi, you want to think about it, save Miss Shen." As he spoke, he hid his face and hurried away.
Bai Yixue sighed, slowly paced to the flower hall, and saw Shi Zhongmo sitting alone from a distance, his expression was gloomy, his figure was lonely, and he thought: "Mr. Shi is afraid that he hasn't slept all night." He paced into the flower hall and said, "Mr. Shi, morning." ”
Shi Zhongmo said: "Early." ”
The two sat down, and Bai Yixue asked, "Is Master Ling going out?"
Shi Zhongmo said: "He went to Liuhe Restaurant early in the morning and waited for the Feng brothers to appear. When he raised his eyes, he saw that Bai Yixue's eyes were full of bloodshots, and he must have not slept all night.
Bai Yixue took out the heavy book "Orange Apricot Hook Xuan" from her arms and said, "Mr. Shi, this book is the work of Shen Shen's life's work, and when he was dying, he entrusted it to me. I originally wanted to wait for Miss Shen's body to get better, so I would give her this book with my own hands. It's just that today I went to see that friend, and I really didn't know when I would be able to return, so I asked Mr. Shi to hand it over on my behalf. ”
Shi Zhongmo was taken aback, took the "Orange Apricot Hook Xuan" in his hand, and said: "Why did Brother Bai Shishi say this? What did that friend of yours do? The old man can't let you be in danger alone. ”
Bai Yixue smiled bitterly: "Mr. Shi, don't worry, that friend of mine has no malicious intent, but I am afraid that I will ...... Leave for a while. ”
Shi Zhongmo said blankly: "You...... Is this going out of the house?" "Lowered his head and stared at the "Orange Apricot Hook Xuan" in his hand, and recognized that this book was Shen's posthumous work, and now that the junior and younger brothers were dead, they couldn't help but feel sad.
Bai Yixue said: "Not bad. I may be gone for three months, maybe half a year, and I may not be able to say it now. Mr. Shi, don't go out today, wait at home, if things go well, someone will come to deliver medicine, I ...... And so it went. ”
He walked out of Shi's house and came to Xichun Tower, where he met Ma Taichang head-on, and said in white clothes: "Is Miss Mo here?"
Ma Tai often stretched out his round fingers, pointed to the second floor, and said with a smile: "I came early this morning." ”
Bai Yixue was surprised and delighted in her heart: "Since she came as promised, she should have already obtained the antidote to Buddha Touqing." I went straight to the second floor, came to the small pavilion where I had met Mo Lingsha before, lifted the curtains, and saw a person sitting with his back to him, with smoke and mist temples, and a slender figure, and under the agitation of the mood, he was a little dizzy, and shouted: "Sister Ling......"
When the man heard the sound, he turned his head, and he had a round goose egg face and an innocent expression, but it was Lemon. Bai Yixue was stunned, her face was hot, and she said, "What's the matter...... It's you. ”
Ling'er's pretty face was resentful, the tears in the corners of her eyes had not dried, it was obvious that she had just cried, and said softly: "Bai Gongzi, I ...... But I'm looking forward to you. ”
Bai Yixue was taken aback and asked, "Ling'er, what's wrong with you?"
Ling'er stood up, her long eyelashes couldn't help trembling, and she choked sadly: "Bai Gongzi, I'm waiting for you here, I'm waiting for you to death." As he spoke, he couldn't hold back his tears.
Bai Yixue exclaimed, "What's wrong?" she ...... What about her?" I felt faintly uneasy in my heart: "I asked her to ask for the antidote to the Buddha's head, could it be that there was an accident? Tang Wai is a clever and powerful eagle, and he has always had evil thoughts about her, is he really so bold and reckless, and wants to plot against the princess today?" Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he felt a chill on his back.
Ling'er's eyes were bright, and she sobbed: "Childe, you ...... Go over and see for yourself. ”
Bai Yixue said: "Okay, okay, let's go now." Her Royal Highness the Princess did not ...... Hurt, right?"
Ling'er glanced at him and said angrily, "Why aren't you injured? ”
Bai Yixue's eyes suddenly turned black, she stumbled under her feet, and almost fell to the ground, exclaiming: "Very seriously injured......? Is it life-threatening?"
Ling'er shook her head slightly and said, "That's not true." ”
Bai Yixue took a long breath, felt a little relieved, and said: "Princess Jinzhi Yuye, if there is a slight mistake, Xiaomin will be a capital crime." Okay, let's go now. ”
Ling'er said: "Wait, Her Royal Highness the princess asked me to give this to the prince." As he spoke, he took out a small colorful porcelain bottle, and a beam of sunlight shone on the bottle, the glaze was crystal clear, and there was a soft shimmer. Bai Yixue's heart was pounding, she stepped forward, stretched out her hand to take the porcelain bottle, looked carefully, the porcelain bottle was slender and the fetal quality was fine, and she recognized that the porcelain bottle carried by Tang Ji was the same as the general appearance, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...... The antidote?"
Ning'er snorted slightly: "Isn't it the antidote......?" Such a thing has made Her Royal Highness the princess miserable. ”
Bai Yixue clutched the porcelain vase tightly, and said continuously: "Thank you, thank you!" Thinking of the hard work of the past few months, the hardships she has experienced, for the sake of this small porcelain vase, suddenly her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she cried with joy, as if she was in a dream.
Ning'er stared at him for a long time, and said coquettishly: "Look at you, how much trouble Her Royal Highness has suffered for this cracking medicine, ...... Can you still laugh?"
Bai Yixue looked embarrassed, put away her tears, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, yes." I'll go with you to visit the princess, but this antidote ......"
Ning'er said: "Son, rest assured to follow me into the palace, I have already arranged the people who deliver the medicine." The two of them went downstairs, and there were already four palace guards waiting downstairs. Ning'er said to the leader: "Brother Rong, you have to go hard. As he spoke, he introduced the four of them to Bai Yixue one by one, and the veteran guard who led the way was in his forties, with a fierce face and a fierce face, called Rong Xiang.
Rong Xiang looked respectful and said with a smile: "The little ones can do a little bit of work for dogs and horses, and that is what Miss Ling'er can afford." It's too late for the little ones to rejoice, where can we talk about the word 'hard'?"
Bai Yixue solemnly handed him the porcelain vase, took out a silver ingot from the lotus bag, and said, "Please ask a few big brothers, please be sure to hand this thing into the hands of Mr. Shi Zhongmo Shi in person." ”
Rong Xiang carefully took the porcelain vase into his arms, but his eyes looked at Ning'er, and he didn't go to take the silver taels. Ning'er said with a smile: "Brother Rong, this is a little bit of Bai Gongzi's heart, if you accept it, it will be a cold day, everyone buy some wine and food to eat to drive away the cold." ”
Rong Xiang opened his eyebrows, thinking that he had met the God of Wealth today, so he took over the silver ingot, and the four guards were also smiling and thanking him. Rong Xiang said: "Don't worry, the little ones will do things properly." ”
Leaving Xichun Tower, Ning'er and Bai Yixue got into a carriage and went straight to the Inner Palace in the south of the city.
In the seventh year of Jin Tianhui and the third year of Song Jianyan (1129), the Jin people went south again to attack Zhao and Song, among which Wanyan Zongbi led the army to cross the Yangtze River from Majia in the southwest of Jiankang Mansion in an attempt to capture Zhao Gou alive. Wanyan Zongbi's iron cavalry was like a broken bamboo, like entering a no-man's land, frightened Zhao Gou fled all the way in panic, from Yingtian to Jiankang, from Jiankang to Yangzhou, and then from Yangzhou to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), and from Yuezhou to Mingzhou (now Ningbo, Zhejiang). Wanyan Zongbi's army won a series of victories, pursued all the way, and forced to the city of Mingzhou, Zhao Gou had to board a ship from Mingzhou and float to the sea to avoid the enemy.
It was not until the summer of the fourth year of Jianyan (1130) that the Jin army withdrew north, and Zhao Gou ended his days of wandering at sea.
He returned to the land, first took Yuezhou as "Xing", and issued an edict in the first month of the following year, changing the yuan to "Shaoxing", which means "Shaozuo Zhongxing", and Shengyuezhou was Shaoxing Mansion.
At the beginning of Zhao Zhuang's reign, he had discussed where to set the capital, but this time he was chased by the Jin people and fled to the sea, embarrassed, and the matter of setting the capital was once again put on the agenda of the imperial court. Many civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China discussed a lot about where to set the capital, and there were great differences. Some people suggested that the capital should be Jiankang, some people thought that Dingyue Prefecture should be established, and some people proposed to build the capital Lin'an. Among them, Jiankang is "leaning on the mountains and rivers, the capital of the real king, which can control the dangers and obstacles, and build an indestructible foundation", among the three places to be selected, the voice is the highest. Among the scholars in Jiangnan, there are also many people who tend to retreat to Wu Yue.
Dingdu Jiankang or Wu Yue, that is, to make a choice between the two plans of "preventing Huai" and "crossing the river". "Defending Huaidian" means guarding Huaidian and actively preparing for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in the future, while "crossing the river" means abandoning the Central Plains and keeping the south of the Yangtze River first.
Faced with the choice, Zhao Gou finally adopted the suggestion put forward by Prime Minister Lu Yihao to "fight and avoid, but serve His Majesty in the land of all things" because he had been in peace for a long time, the people were rich, and he was far away from the front line of the Song and Jin wars compared to Jiankang. After he made up his mind, he moved to Lin'an, and in the eighth year of Shaoxing (1138), Lin'an was officially designated as the capital, and Jiankang was changed to stay in the capital.
The location of the Inner Palace, in the south of Lin'an City, was expanded on the basis of the original Hangzhou Prefecture. Zhao Gou is partial to peace for a long time, gradually delay in the life of singing and dancing, after many years of continuous repair, addition, divided into five parts, such as the outer court, the inner court, the east palace, the academy, the palace back garden, etc., roughly form the pattern of the front and back bed, a total of 30 halls, 33 halls, 4 fast, 7 floors, 20 pavilions, one Xuan, six Taiwans, one view, ninety pavilions.
The horse's hooves clicked, and the carriage went all the way south, to Ouchi, and entered through the main gate of Li. The white-clothed snow saw the golden nail Zhu Hu at the main gate of Nali, covered with copper tiles, engraved with the shape of the dragon and phoenix flying horses, majestic and magnificent, under the sunlight, the brilliance was overflowing, and secretly praised: "What a big style!"
Entering the palace, the carriage turns to the north again, passes the Daqing Palace, the vertical arch hall, the apse, and then passes through the Jinyan Corridor, the Cuihan Hall, the Qingrui Palace, all the way unimpeded, and comes to the Calyx Pavilion where Princess Xijia lives.
Ling'er led the white-clothed snow inside, and met four palace maids. Ling'er said, "Is Her Royal Highness the princess resting?"
A palace maid said: "Girl, you are back, Your Highness is still vomiting, and now it is a little better." ”
Bai Yixue couldn't help but twitch in her heart, thinking: "Could it be a sign of poisoning?" Ning'er said, "You all stand down, I'm here." After the palace maids retreated, Ning'er led Bai Yixue to the door of Princess Xijia's bedroom, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Your Highness, I'm back." ”
Someone in the room said, "He'...... Are you here?" Bai Yixue heard that the person who spoke was Mo Lingsha, but her voice was tired, very delicate and weak, and she thought: "Fortunately, the injury is not serious, otherwise, I will be guilty." ”
Ning'er said: "Here, just wait outside the door." ”
After a while, Mo Lingsha whispered, "You...... You...... Invite him in. ”
Ling'er gently tugged at Bai Yixue's sleeve and said with a smile: "Your Highness, please come in." Bai Yixue was embarrassed, thinking that although he had been invited by the other party, he was a young man, and he broke into the boudoir of Her Royal Highness the princess alone, which was really detrimental to the other party's order, and it was a big inappropriate, so he couldn't help but hesitate and said, "This ...... This ...... "seems to have a thousand weights under his feet, and he can't take a step."
Ling'er smiled and said, "Bai Gongzi, what are you still doing in a daze, the princess is waiting for you!" said and gently pushed him on the back.
Bai Yixue had no choice but to bite the bullet, pushed away the wooden vermilion yao, and said loudly: "I...... I came in. Stepping in, the first thing that catches the eye in the boudoir is a three-fold landscape painting screen. The main peak in the painting screen is majestic and abrupt, the mountain range winds down like a swimming dragon, the waterfall between the peaks falls straight down a thousand thousands, the smoke and pine waves in the mountain, the deep valley flows spring, and the scenery is flat and far-reaching. Carefully look at it, the pavilion in the valley is hidden, there are two or three high-ranking people in the pavilion, sitting leisurely, listening to the waves and listening to the distance.
