Chapter 13: Chang'an Guest (II)
Chang'an Ke (Down)
The south has been decided, the eldest prince has returned, and he has stayed in Chang'an with two hundred iron floating tu.
The Holy Emperor did not allow any prince to interfere in government affairs, and his tenth brother was still young, and he had to go to the Hanlin Academy every day to study with the group of pedantic literati. As for the second brother, like the other younger brothers, he indulged in wine every day and didn't even see a shadow.
In fact, those people made the Holy Emperor feel more at ease, anyway, he only needed to eat, drink and have fun for him every day, and he would not cause chaos for himself, let alone the society.
The Holy Emperor has some headaches, it is the Great Prince Xuanyuan Chi and the Tenth Prince Xuanyuan Rende.
Speaking from the heart, Xuanyuan Chi is indeed more like him, stepping step by step on horseback, but now that the Quartet is calm, the people have enough food and clothing, and every household has surplus food, the Holy Dynasty has already had a bit of a prosperous appearance.
In the prosperous age, compared with the king who carried a spear on horseback and stained blood, he needed a benevolent lord who could convince the people with virtue and educate the people.
This world is what he participated in, one hand and one foot, and compared with the child he loves the woman the most and the glorious country for a hundred years, he chose the latter.
He can have many reasons, such as that since he has become a holy emperor, he has to be responsible for the world, and this world is not the world of his Xuanyuan family, but the world of the people of Limin, and so on. But these high-sounding and closed-mouthed reasons for the life of the Li people can't even deceive him, how can he tell outsiders?
The Holy Emperor paced back and forth in the Qianlong Palace, he didn't like the decisiveness of the Great Prince's killing, but there was no other strength behind him except himself, his power was only Tiefutu, and there was no friend in the court; he liked and appreciated the respect and benevolence of the old ten, if he was in power, all the officials and the people would be happy and convinced; but this child had been mixed with the group of people in the Confucius Temple since he was a child.
He is martial but not depreciating, but the growing strength of the Confucius Temple makes him have to guard against it.
With a tiger on your back, how can you sleep peacefully?
So, these two princes put him in a dilemma.
The little eunuch Li Zhongxian, who had just been promoted, lowered his head, quiet as the stone lions carved on the handrails outside the main hall.
The Holy Emperor paced back and forth in the empty hall, obviously a little impatient.
He had only been here for a short time, and he couldn't figure out the holy will, so he could only keep his head down, occasionally peeking at the big man in a bright yellow robe.
"That's right!" the Holy Emperor suddenly stopped, pointing at him, as if recalling his name.
"Li Zhongxian. The little eunuch didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately said his name.
"Okay, Li Zhongxian, right, how about this emperor ordering you to grasp the whereabouts of the two princes?" the Holy Emperor asked slowly.
Li Zhongxian hurriedly knelt down and said: "The slave is looking for someone to watch the two princes, the ten princes are very well-behaved, and they run from the Hanlin Academy and his dormitory every day. As for the eldest prince......"
He thought about it for a moment and spit it out.
"Say!"
A faint drink shook Li Zhongxian's body, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.
"The eldest prince has been drinking and having fun in Fengming Pavilion for the past few days, and he hasn't even come out a step. ”
"Fengming Pavilion?" the Holy Emperor was a little puzzled.
Li Zhongxian lowered his head and whispered back in a shrill voice: "Back to the master, this is an industry in Pingkangfang, which belongs to the eldest prince." ”
The Holy Emperor's face was slightly better.
Every prince, big and small marquis, and even the officials of the six ministries have their own industries in Pingkangfang or East and West City, and the Holy Emperor knows about these things, and it is just over to turn a blind eye, and he is too lazy to care.
Moreover, he is not afraid of others being greedy. I'm afraid that the group of people in the Confucius Temple who are not immersed in water and fire do not love famous swords and wine, and do not like treasures and beauties. The general trend of the world with open and closed mouths, as if the world is theirs. Even if you look at a few posthumous works of the sages, you will restrain your **.
Li Zhongxian was like a frightened cat, his body bowed slightly, and his feet unconsciously took half a step back.
What he didn't expect was that the Holy Emperor smiled, flicked his sleeves, and left the Qianlong Palace.
......
Although the eldest prince enjoys wine all day long and has beautiful women as his companions, he has never indulged in it.
His father kept him in Chang'an, but he didn't give him anything, if he worked diligently all day long, studying the classics at home, this was not his character, but if he found a few officials and mingled all day long, he was afraid that he would be even more displeased with the Holy Emperor.
He knew that he and his father had some imagination.
If your subordinates have made great contributions, and when they come back, they form a group with other people, or they look like great sages, and they don't love anything, don't like anything, and don't make any mistakes, then they will worry about themselves.
Therefore, the eldest prince simply soaked in this Fengming Pavilion all day long.
This Fengming Pavilion is also located in Pingkangfang, but compared to what Huanxi Building and Guixiang Building, it is not so famous.
However, its luxury is better than that of the ten Huanxi Building and Guixiang Building.
After all, what kind of Qinglou like Huanxi Building, as long as he has money, he can drink two glasses, but if he has no status in Fengming Pavilion, he is afraid that he will not be able to enter the gate.
Drinking and having fun here is a little less lively, but a little more peaceful.
Many dignitaries and nobles like to come here, and they want to be at ease.
The whole Fengming Pavilion is not publicized, it occupies a corner alone, it can be seen from the outside, but it is like an ordinary courtyard, red bricks and green tiles, there are some grass on the tiles, but the three big characters of "Fengming Pavilion" on the plaque are slightly public.
But into the interior, carved beams and paintings, beauties such as flowers, jade plates and jasper elixir reflect each other. The beauty with a thin waist is like a willow leaf swaying in the wind. Slender legs, as if you can dance in the palm of your hand. Walking inside, turning a corridor, a burst of piano sounds came, and a girl dressed in white kept stroking the piano with her fingers, and a few strands of light yarn were raised, like a fairy stroking the piano.
And in the courtyard, a woman is wearing a corset brocade robe, a long sword flashes cold, her wrists keep flipping, and the fallen leaves in the courtyard are falling down, pity those green leaves, Fang escaped the cold winter, sprouted in the spring, and was ready to grow in this summer, but it was immediately like entering autumn, and kept falling.
Eventually, the green leaves formed a huge circle on the ground, and the sword-wielding woman stood with her sword in her shoulders, and bowed slightly when she saw the great prince coming.
Not to mention how luxurious the interior decoration of this Fengming Pavilion is, the three women of dance, piano, and sword alone are comparable to half of the Qinglou in the entire Pingkang Fang.
Although the eldest prince has these, he is not satisfied.
He wanted more, but now, he could only drink to the things that ordinary people coveted.
Suddenly, there was a sound of some dilapidated doors in Fengming Pavilion, and the knocking sound was rhythmic.
The eldest prince raised his hand, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and the dance paused in the air, and the woman with the sword was like a sculpture.
Confirming the voice, the eldest prince nodded.
In an environment where everyone didn't dare to pant loudly, he took a sip of wine and said lightly: "It's okay, open the door!" A maid trotted over and pulled open the somewhat dilapidated door.
The eldest prince looked at this expressionless teenager, this was the dead soldier he was cultivating, responsible for his intelligence and security.
Although the Iron Float is strong enough, it is something given to him by others, as long as it is given by others, it is not considered his own, and I don't know when those soldiers in iron armor will point their spears at themselves.
The boy walked up to him and handed him a porcelain vase.
When the eldest prince saw this porcelain vase, his face changed.
He hurriedly opened the porcelain vase, only to see that it was empty and there was nothing.
The eldest prince looked at the young man suspiciously.
"As usual, I was working as a handyman in other green buildings in Pingkangfang, but today suddenly a thin young man in a white robe and a little strange came and handed this to me, and he said that I knew where to send this thing, and told me that if it was delivered slowly, I was afraid that my master would be in danger. ”
The eldest prince held the porcelain vase, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the end, he slapped the boy in the face with a backhand, and the boy soared into the air, flew back a few meters and fell to the ground.
The boy spat out a mouthful of blood, leaving a scarlet on the ground, struggled to get up, and then walked in front of the eldest prince again, bowed his head, and said nothing.
"Fool, do you know what's wrong with you?"
The boy nodded heavily.
The eldest prince snorted coldly and said, "Wait aside!"
Then he said loudly: "I still remember that Brother Xian once said that the south and the north are passers-by, and it depends on fate to meet each other, but I didn't expect fate to come so quickly." ”
As soon as the eldest prince finished speaking, a person appeared at the door, dressed in white and thin, revealing most of his chest, with long hair hanging down to his shoulders, and a trace of bewitching and tired young man in his eyes.
The young man glanced at the eldest prince and said slowly: "It seems that His Royal Highness the prince is recovering well!"
The eldest prince smiled, pointed on the stone steps under the corridor, said the word "please", and took the lead to sit down under the stone steps, and the young man also sat down side by side with the eldest prince, stretched his legs forward, and then stretched his waist.
"That's good, you're here!"
Zhan Nan said with a smile.
"Okay!" he smacked his lips and said, "Do you want to see the sword dance?"
Without waiting for Zhan Nan to answer, the eldest prince clapped his hands, and the sound of the piano suddenly rose, obviously it was the summer when the life of all things was recovering, but there was an inexplicable sense of autumn slaughter.
The sword suddenly became fierce, the leaves fell again, and the trees in the courtyard were almost bald.
It is not the leaves that fall to the ground, but some tiny particles.
Zhan Nan's eyes froze, and the leaves were completely shattered by the sword qi just now.
He glanced at the eldest prince, but saw that the latter did not react.
Zhan Nan cleared his throat and said: "I once heard an allusion, called 'The drunkard's intention is not to drink', if this is not appropriate, then there is another one, what is called Sword Dance, which is intended to ...... Zhan Nan patted his head and said, "I forgot! I saw it a long time ago." ”
The eldest prince looked at him, and at this time the sound of the piano and the sword dance stopped.
"It's not a coincidence, honestly, why!"
Zhan Nan was not afraid at all, met his gaze and said, "Come here to give advice for the future Holy Emperor!"
The eldest prince's heart shook suddenly, and he looked at Zhannan, his eyes were like sharp blades!
"I can give you a daughter or a beauty if you want it, but there are some things that you can't talk nonsense!" the eldest prince said word by word, containing bursts of anger.
Zhan Nan smiled instead: "In terms of beauty, who is comparable to the blind girl Mo Qingshui in terms of the beauty of the piano, who is comparable to the heroic posture of the sword dance, who is comparable to the Gongsun girl, and who is comparable to the Feiyan girl in this dancing posture?
The eldest prince sneered and did not answer him.
"As for the gold thousand taels, it can become someone else's thing in the blink of an eye. ”
This Zhan Nan made it clear that he didn't want a golden beauty, and it was also expected by the eldest prince, after all, how could a person who gave himself Xiangliu essence blood and gave himself a Nine Dragon Talisman covet beauty and gold?
The eldest prince waved his hand, and the blind piano girl dressed in white put away the piano, and the heroic Gongsun girl also put away her sword and withdrew.
"And what do you want?"
"The wealth of the world, only my Liu family is the only one!"
As soon as these words came out, the eldest prince stared and said, "What a big breath, but I can't help you." So saying, he stood up.
"But what if I give you a marriage and make you a holy emperor!"
These days, the eldest prince has been thinking about the Fan family in his heart, as long as he marries the Fan family, he can have a large number of fans in the court.
Although the Fan family is not as good as before, but now that there is no separatist force, his influence should not be underestimated.
"What do you mean?" the eldest prince turned his head sharply.
Zhan Nan looked confident.
"Although it is said that the Fan family of this dragon guard cannot really be controlled now, the prestige of the old general for many years is still there, except for the unknown Lord Xu and Xu Zhenwu, who is now far away in the Northern Barbarians, who else in this army is as powerful as Old Man Fan. ”
The eldest prince snorted coldly and did not object.
"You are all poor people. ”
The eldest prince was waiting for his next words, but he didn't expect Zhannan's voice to change.
"I don't know if your Tiefutu is yours in the end, and his dragon guards are no longer his. ”
"Say, are you all the same fallen people?"
The eldest prince stared at him deadly, and a few words finally popped out of his mouth.
"What do you want to say?"
Zhan Nan stood up, stretched, and looked at the door.
The eldest prince knew what he meant, and without thinking about it, he said directly: "The land of Baichuan originally belonged to the Chu family, known as the paradise of merchants, I can let your Liu family become the master, and I will take care of Chang'an, but your Liu family can only be controlled secretly, and you can't jump out of the open." ”
Zhan Nan turned around and nodded.
In fact, in the land of a state, he didn't care about any gold, silver and jewelry, but he knew that the eldest prince was suspicious, and if he didn't get any benefits to help him now, he was afraid that he would be suspicious.
"You should have checked my details, my name is Liu Nan, and I also have an older brother Liu Xu. It just so happened that the ancestors had an old relationship with Old Man Fan, and they also knew what he wanted. ”
The eldest prince looked at Zhan Nan's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and immediately made a respectful gesture of "please" and invited him to the lobby.
The hall is resplendent with gold, and a small pool is built directly inside, and water columns are constantly emerging from it.
"I wonder if Mr. Liu likes singing and dancing?"
The eldest prince's title to him has also changed, Zhan Nan waved his hand and said: "What kind of Yingge Yan dances, just a song and a glass of wine, I heard that the sound of Mo Qingshui's piano is rare to smell in a hundred years!"
The eldest prince bowed slightly.
"Thank you Liu Gongzi for your praise. A crisp and beautiful voice sounded, and Mo Qingshui, who was dressed in white, walked in with her piano in her arms and groped to sit down.
The fingers are gently plucked, like the sound of heaven, turning around the beam, endlessly.
Looking at Mo Qingshui's slightly closed eyes and good-looking eyelashes, even Zhan Nan couldn't help but sigh for him.
After listening to the song, Zhan Nan shook his head as if he was still interested.
I saw the blind piano master groping and walking in front of Zhan Nan, and the big piano looked a little petite.
She raised a wine glass tremblingly and said to Zhan Nan: "Since it is a glass of Qingci wine, then this glass of light water respects Mr." ”
Zhan Nan raised the wine glass with both hands and touched it lightly.
After drinking, Mo Qingshui's cheeks were slightly red, and she groped out, she directly touched the gate, carefully protected the qin with her hand, and walked away alone with her guqin.
Zhan Nan looked at her back, unable to take his eyes off it.
"She can't, this girl is very stubborn, I only helped her occasionally, that's why she came to my vulgar place, other girls can, but she has to rely on yourself. ”
The eldest prince said slowly.
Zhan Nan smiled and said: "This kind of girl is really distressing, but there is no protection of **." ”
Then he looked at the hall and said, "It's a shame that she can't see it, otherwise how can she keep a pure heart to stroke the piano." ”
The eldest prince knew that he was adjusting the atmosphere, and laughed twice.
"The people are gone, and the song is also listening, so let's talk about it specifically. ”
Zhan Nan looked at him and said directly: "Old Man Fan likes the army, and you need to use Old Man Fan's prestige to ensure your status, don't you have an invincible heavy cavalry on hand?"
When the eldest prince heard this, he immediately fell silent.
This Iron Float is now the trump card in his hand.
Zhan Nan continued: "Is this Iron Floating Slaughter yours now?"
The eldest prince shook his head, he knew that as long as the Holy Emperor said a word, this Iron Floating Slaughter would not belong to him, and even as long as Xu Changan showed the strength to be able to dominate the Iron Floating Slaughter, he was afraid that the hearts of all the people in the Iron Floating Slaughter would not be with him. After all, this Tiefutu was brought out by the man surnamed Xu.
"What do you feel sorry for in exchange for something that is not yours?"
When the eldest prince heard this, he suddenly realized.
"Moreover, when you become a Holy Emperor, you can also take it back. Now, you just need to promise Old Man Fan to insert the people who enter him in the Iron Floating Slaughter, and slowly infiltrate them. At the same time......"
Zhan Nan smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't need me to teach you, do you?"
The eldest prince immediately got up and bowed respectfully again: "Thank you, sir." ”
At the same time, a young man in Tsing Yi came out of the old house, and the old man in white personally delivered it to the door.
Fan Yuzhi frowned and said, "Let me think twice, after all, this is about the happiness of the little girl!"
Zhan Xu smiled secretly in his heart, he wouldn't look at anything happy or unhappy, he was just waiting for bigger chips!
......
Both parties have achieved good results, but Fan Jiuxian, who is in this exchange, still doesn't know his fate!
The arrival of these two people directly changed her, Chai Xintong, and Xu Changan's future!
Mo Qingshui is also the heroine, who said that I was not good to the protagonist, I gave him a blind fairy in white clothes and snow.
