CHAPTER XIV

The Past Rises with the Wind (2)

Although time can pass, the past is always vague. Cheng Hong gradually heard Duan Feng mention the events of the year, and his heart tightened, Yi Qiaoqian sneered lightly, and said: "Wang Mang, that guy loves to dream, Ban Jieyu's child is so good, how can he kill him, and he has to be upright." Duan Feng was depressed, and he was quite angry at the moment: "Wang Mang's bird is full of flowers, or he will usurp the country of our Han Dynasty." Yi Qiaoqian suddenly flashed her thoughts, and then said to Duan Feng: "Since those two guys are doing bad things behind people's backs, how do you know?"

Duan Feng said in a rough voice: "If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you don't do it." The eunuch Lian Sheng saw that Zhao Hede mentioned Ban Jieyu, and the traitor Wang Mang wanted to offer a plan again, so he listened to the movement outside the palace. Yi Qiaoqian sighed and said, "Since Lian Sheng's father-in-law is Zhao Hede's person, why do you want to help Ban Jieyu?" Duan Feng said: "Lian Sheng has received the favor of Jieyu Niangniang, when he first entered the palace, he was just a miscellaneous person. Once, Lian Sheng broke a vase, and the old eunuch who was in charge of him came to lead people to beat him severely. Fortunately, this incident was bumped into by Ban Jieyu Niangniang and saved Lian Sheng. ”

Cheng Hong gradually heard this, and his heart was relieved, and he said: "Jieyu Niangniang is a good person with good rewards, so she can also have a defense." Duan Feng said indignantly: "It's hateful that Lian Sheng can't hear those two pickled words clearly, he only knows that they want to harm Jieyu Niangniang's flesh and bones." Hong gradually asked, "What about later?" The silver wax in the room was weeping and the candlelight was cold, and Duan Feng drank the spirits again, commenting on the past.

The years often go by, and the past is as fresh as new. When Lian Sheng's father-in-law heard about it, he immediately went to Ban Jieyu's bedroom, and before he entered the palace gate, he saw the emperor riding on the dragon chariot and wanted to leave. But said that the emperor's name was Liu Biao, and he was a master who was addicted to wine, and Ban Jieyu still advised him to be diligent in state affairs, and should not take too many drugs to help him, otherwise it would inevitably damage the dragon body. Liu Biao was already depressed, but when he heard this, he was even more displeased, and then said coldly: "Don't be jealous of Hede, and I won't be able to please me." After that, he ordered to drive the Jiaofang Palace, and looked for the queen Zhao Feiyan to go happily.

Ban Jieyu looked at the emperor's figure from afar, and felt that this person seemed to be a stranger, so she couldn't help but caress Gao Long's belly, and prayed secretly in her heart: "My son, you will definitely be a Ming monarch in the future, and you must not be as absurd and unscrupulous as your father." At this moment, Lian Sheng's father-in-law bowed to Ban Jieyu, and then reported the conspiracy of Wang Mang and Zhao Hede. Ban Jieyu was very grateful, and instead instructed her cronies to take out a lot of money from the house to thank her. Lian Sheng insisted that he would not accept it, and then said: "The villain should go back, I hope the mother will take care." As soon as he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

The palace maid carefully supported Ban Jieyu back into the dormitory, and then rested as ordered. Ban Jieyu sat alone and pondered, then stroked the fetus in her belly, and secretly thought in her heart: "My mother wishes that you are a daughter, so it will not be difficult for you to be a traitor in the court••••••"

The incense burner in the dormitory is self-generating and calming the smoke, wanting to make the palace woman Mo gloomy, the sound of the autumn wind is moving into the ears, and the light mockery is all over the fan, but seeing Ban Jieyu silent for a long time, holding the pen and writing, and whispering leisurely: "The new crack Qi Zhisu, as white as snow." Cut into a hehuan fan, like a bright moon. In and out of the sleeves of the king's arms, shaking the breeze and ••••••" Later, he wept with sorrow and continued in a trembling voice: "I am often afraid that the autumn festival is coming, and the cold soars to seize the heat." In the abandonment of donations, the •••••• of kindness is absolutely " This five-word ancient law is called "Song of Resentment", which is improvised by Ban Jieyu, although there are only a few words, but the meaning is profound, and the direct teaching confidant is latent and compassionate.

Let's say that Jieyu Niangniang was next to dawn, so she called the personal palace maid to invite Duan Feng into the palace to talk. The two exchanged a few words, Ban Jieyu retreated, and immediately knocked on the prime minister's begging: "The fetus in my womb is about to encounter a catastrophe, General Duan has always been loyal and righteous, and dares to ask you to rescue him." ”

Duan Feng had experienced many battles in the rivers and lakes, but he had never seen such a thing, so he couldn't help but be confused, hurriedly helped the other party up, and then solemnly knelt down and said: "Niang Niang, if you have any orders, just say it, we will be crushed and die!"

Ban Jieyu relayed the ins and outs in detail, Duan Feng listened to it in his heart, and at that moment Huo Di got up and blurted out angrily: "His mother's pickled dogs and men are unbearable, Lao Tzu will arrest and cut them down, and remove these two scourges for the court!" As soon as the words fell, he wanted to run out of the hall. Ban Jieyu hurriedly grabbed the other party and said in a trembling voice: "General, slow down, don't say that you can't get rid of Wang Mang and Zhao Hede, even if they are all beheaded, we have no real evidence, and the fetus in my womb will inevitably be implicated." ”

Duan Feng's eyebrows tightened, and he said anxiously: "Why don't you ask the Holy Lord to judge." Ban Jieyu shook her head and sighed: "I have thought about this method, but Zhao Hede is deeply favored by the emperor, and Wang Mang has always been obedient and virtuous, and he is deeply respected by the queen mother." Later, he couldn't help but sigh lightly, and continued: "The emperor is afraid that in order to favor the concubine, he will blame me for spreading rumors, and the queen mother will also be deceived by her nephew Wang Mang, and she will not believe it at all." If that happens, it's only going to get worse••••••"

When Duan Feng heard this, he secretly said in his heart: "Today, the saint is about to favor Zhao Hede to heaven, and Wang Mang's wife is not only filial piety and benevolence in front of the queen mother, but even the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty regard him as a saint. Thinking of this, he couldn't help beating his chest and forgetting the etiquette in the palace. Ban Jieyu sighed lightly and said, "Don't hide it from the general, I thought about it for a night last night, and I also came up with a way, but I was a little embarrassed by the general." ”

When Duan Feng heard this, he was overjoyed, and immediately blurted out: "As long as we can keep the royal dragon heir, even if we want to die, Duan Feng will not frown." Ban Jieyu bowed down and bowed: "General Gaoyi, I will die hard." Duan Feng only felt that Niangniang was like a folk woman begging for mercy, without the slightest hint of a court lady, and couldn't help but feel sour, and then hugged his fists and said: "Niangniang has a place where she can use the last general, just give orders." Ban Jieyu said: "The general participates in the management of the palace guards, if the child I give birth to is a baby boy, I bother the general to take him out of the palace and raise him for me, as long as Zhao Hede and Wang Mang do not get rid of him, he will not be allowed to enter the palace gate •••••• half a step again••••••" The words became more and more reluctant, and it was inevitable that there would be some lag.

Duan Feng frowned, sighed to himself, and asked, "Why does Niangniang want us to take the child outside the palace, it is the flesh and blood of Niangniang and the saint, and you must not leave your parents." Besides, the last will really take this child out, you will definitely bear a great responsibility, how can you exonerate when the time comes?"
