Chapter 41 Congratulations to the Emperor, Congratulations to the Ministers

Sikong Yao pursed her lips lightly, drained the wine on her thin lips, and said softly: "Happy." ”

The Confucian man looked at the girl in the green dress, his eyes were fascinated, and he secretly thought in his heart: "This woman drinks amazingly, and she is the leader among men." ”

Although he cleaned the wine in the bowl first, he was drunk at this time. I drank bitterly with the group of ministers before, and I was drunk for about five or six points, but this bowl was eight or nine points down.

Although his face is strong, he knows how much he is doing.

But the woman looked at herself as if she was fine, and she felt quite ashamed.

Ling Feng has always been elegant, and he didn't want to be rude to others, so he said politely: "I am ordered by the girl to accompany me with wine." If we meet in the future, we will learn the rhythm again. ”

When the girl saw that although he was drunk, he was not like a city, and he only loved to talk about his ability, even if he couldn't drink it, he had to dry it up, and she couldn't help but admire it in her heart.

It's not that the girl can't get drunk, the wine in this Yuliangdu is too light, and Sikong Yao doesn't like to drink it.

Beiguan is unusually cold, and the soldiers should drink alcohol to warm up, otherwise there will be many frostbitten people on duty on cold nights.

The liquor brewed by Beiguan Distillery is quite strong, and my father loves to drink it.

The girl also sighed a little during the banquet, and gradually fell in love with this taste.

Uncle Lian Wuregret once wrote a poem with great poetry: "The iron clothes are frozen in the cold night, and the heart is warm and I think about the old capital." But for the sake of the community, he joined the army wholeheartedly. Spirits are accompanied by cold skies, and the north wind is fierce in the long night. The gentleman is on the border and sad about the moon. ”

A poem reveals the state of mind of the Beiguan soldiers. The girl is nurtured by these prides on weekdays, and her temperament is also bold. If it were a man, I am afraid that he would have already entered the army.

The girl looked at the man in white in front of her, knowing that she had been reckless before, and she didn't feel that her face was flushed, and her starry eyes seemed to be as translucent as water.

The girl did not delay, and the weak willow saluted softly: "The son is laughing, but the little girl is ignorant." I will not talk about gambling again. After speaking, the starry eyes looked at it for a moment, and hurriedly lowered it to look at Feng Mingqin on the table.

Ling Feng saw her change her tone, not as before, and smiled: "In this case, then I will retire first." The beautiful and slender figure turned his head, bowed to the queen, and walked into the back hall.

The girl stared at the man and walked slowly back to her seat. The green onions of the fingers crossed the silk strings of Fengming, and a pleasant sound came out.

The queen mother is the world, and there are thousands of women in the palace, how do you not know what this means. It was the concubines and concubines present, and the women were all in their eyes. The girl returned to her seat in a daze, wondering what happened next?

Ling Feng walked all the way through the carved gallery painting wall he had come from earlier, and stroked the jade flute between his sleeves with one hand. It seems to be reminiscing about the previous rhythm.

Palace, business, horn, sign, feather, the man came one by one, silently remembered in his heart, and was afraid of forgetting. He simply did not return to the front hall, and went out of the back door of the Zhenghe hall to the east.

The little eunuch who usually serves outside the hall wanted to come forward and ask, but he held down his figure and said in a deep voice: "Don't follow me." Er Shaoqing went back and left the little eunuch in place, and only after a long time did he ask in a loud voice: "Where is Your Highness going, where am I going to find it?"

This shout disappeared on this full moon night, until Ling Feng could not be seen.

The little eunuch swayed the dust of the Buddha and kicked his feet in a hurry.

Ling Feng walked for about a moment, and the moonlight shining on his face became even whiter. The moonlight is like a promise, and the autumn wind is blowing on the man's face.

The beads of sweat that were faintly strong were cooled by the autumn breeze, Ling Feng's mind recovered a lot, and he accelerated his pace towards the imperial study.

I saw a small building 100 feet wide, with golden tiles and cornices, and blue bricks and red walls.

If the small building is in an ordinary place, I am afraid that it is a mansion, but in this imperial city, it is a little ordinary. At this time, the people in the palace all went to the Zhenghe Hall to work, and there were only two guards on duty in the imperial study.

The two of them saw that it was His Royal Highness Ling Feng, and hurriedly opened the door.

Ling Feng was very familiar with this, the man was different from his younger brother who didn't like to read. Men read poetry and books from an early age, and at the age of fifteen they did not need a doctorate professor. He studied the scriptures by himself, and read the words of the saints and the works of the ages.

Ling Feng has nothing to do on weekdays, either reading the classics in the imperial study, or studying poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting in his palace. Now I came to this imperial study, but I was looking for a book.

"Da Shao Quanlu" is a classic of Confucian music, divided into two volumes. The details of the fingering and blowing of musical instruments contained in the first volume are divided into eight tones, such as "gold, stone, earth, leather, silk, wood, kuang, and bamboo", and the instruments contained in these eight tones include pipa, erhu, chime, flute, flute, se, qin, xun, sheng and drum. The next volume contains the repertoire of the sages, which is sunny spring and white snow, and the song is high and low.

When the man first read this book, because there was no second volume, he could only ask for quotations at the annotation of the first volume to get a glimpse of the outline of the next volume.

Today, I heard Sikong Yao play one of the songs "Mountains and Flowing Water". I used the example of guqin fingering in the previous volume, and listened to the music that the woman played, and deduced the rhythm.

The man held the candle flame and searched for it on the sweaty and vast bookshelf. Fortunately, I still remember roughly, and I found this "Dashao Quanlu" on the shelf not long after.

The cover is the same as before, and the Xuanse lone book is opened from the right, and the catalog is looking for the guqin chapter.

I saw the man put the candle flame of the book on the bookcase and took out the rice-white rice paper. Ling Feng grinded with one hand, closed his eyes and pondered, and when the ink was finished, he took a rabbit hair.

Ling Feng flipped through the book for a while, while recalling that he kept writing on the paper with one hand, and put down the pen in less than a moment. has already transcribed the memories of the song "Mountains and Flowing Water".

Su Rixia pen is gentle, a small block is written, and it is good to dry. The paper was folded several times and clipped into the book, and he carried the book in his arms.

The wind blew the lamp and extinguished the candle, and went out of this imperial study, but what he thought in his heart was what he was in his arms.

Ling Feng went back the same way, and he didn't look at the moon scene carefully, but only went to the imperial study.

At this time, the full moon hangs in the sky, and the bright moonlight is like white jade. Chang'e in this heaven is afraid that she is not as stunning as a woman, and she is fortunate to meet this Shu today.

Ling Feng walked all the way, walking with this moonlight, which was more poetic. Walking to the back door of the Zhenghe Palace, the little eunuch was overjoyed to see him returning, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Your Highness only sends miscellaneous families, why do you need to go by yourself." ”

Ling Feng wanted to send it himself at first, but he heard the bell ringing.

This feast is about to end, and it is very disrespectful for him to leave the table early, and it would be disrespectful not to return to the main hall at this moment. Hurriedly called the little eunuch, took out the book from the placket and stuffed it in his hand, and said urgently: "But go to the gate of the side hall and wait, wait for the woman in the jasper green skirt to come out, and give her this book." If there is a mistake, I will not take it lightly. ”

It was rare for the little eunuch to see Ling Feng with such a solemn expression, and he nodded his head again and again, like a chicken pecking rice, and said: "What His Highness said, the miscellaneous family must be done well, and it must be done well." ”

Ling Feng relieved himself, hurriedly entered the back door, bypassed the side hall, and walked back to the main hall from the gallery. Fortunately, although the banquet has ended now, the ministers have no emperor's order, so they only dare to sit and drink tea and wait, not daring to be as lively as before.

Seeing this, Ling Feng hurriedly stepped forward to ask for sin: "My son has been delayed for a long time, I hope my emperor will forgive me." The Dragon Robe Emperor waved his hand and said, "It's not in the way, then sit down quickly." ”

When the eunuch saw that His Royal Highness had returned, he breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of missing the hour, so he raised his voice and shouted: "After the banquet, the wine is served, and Your Majesty will give a speech." ”

The crowd hurriedly stood up and saluted. The tea and sake priest discharged, and served cup after cup of sake.

The Emperor of Huafu took the white jade wine glass handed by the celebrant and stood up straight, his eyes shining around at everyone.

I saw him go around the table, paced down the steps, and looked at the ministers on the left and right.

The emperor held the wine glass, about a foot away from his chest, and the slightly chubby emperor said loudly: "I have succeeded to the throne for more than 20 years, and my reputation is weak, and I have no achievements. Seven years ago, Long Yun was in danger. It depends on the unity of the ministers not to make the country turbulent. An Guogong's courage and pacifying the alien thieves. We drink today and don't forget the hardships of the past. ”

When the emperor spoke, he looked at Sikong Yu, who was bent down and saluting, but he drank all the wine in the cup to the high-ranking civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. "I decree today that the eldest Murong Lingfeng will be the crown prince. Sikong Yao, the daughter of Sikong Yu, is skillful and generous, gentle and generous, and has outstanding appearance, and I and the queen are very happy to hear about it. At this time, the woman is in the boudoir and has not yet been married. It is specially intended that Sikong Yao will be married to the crown prince Murong Lingfeng and be the concubine. The etiquette is the same as before, and it is handed over to the Ministry of Rites and the Qintian Supervisor to jointly handle it, and the marriage will be completed on a good day. ”

The Emperor of Huafu personally read out the will, his eyes staring at Sikong Yu. Sikong Yu had long expected that there would be this day, and his beloved daughter used to comfort herself by the sickbed, but she grew a lot at once.

Murong Lingfeng on the side was first shocked by this sudden grace, looked at the emperor, and then looked at Sikong Yu. This Mid-Autumn Festival night banquet turned out to be a banquet for his engagement. Knowing that it was difficult to disobey his fate, the Confucian young man sat down and knelt down and said: "The son of the minister bows to thank his father and the emperor Longen." ”

At this time, the emperor announced his decree in front of his ministers, but he forced himself to set an example. But if you are trapped, how can you regret it?

Sikong Yu drank the wine in the cup and knelt in front of the emperor: "The ministers are grateful, and I wish to protect the Jing Dynasty for generations, and I will do my best to die." But it was a little crying, not as proud as in the past, the sideburns on the old man's head were slightly white, and tears were in his eyes.

The ministers in this palace only thought that he was crying with joy, and only Sikong knew that his father was distressed that his sister was trapped in the palace like himself, and it was a murderous way from then on. Sikong Xuan didn't find anything strange about Liancheng.

Everyone drank the wine in the cup and thanked them for their congratulations.

The emperor of Huafu smiled and helped Sikong Yu: "In the future, we will be the sons and daughters, and the Duke of An Guo can not see outside." But he turned away and sat down on the dragon chair.

The eunuch had already prepared, and when he saw that the voices of the people had gradually stopped, he preached: "Your Majesty personally gave 20,000 catties of gold, and Nacai was tied with horses and silks, just like the old scriptures for marriage." Sikong Yu's son Sikong Break, who has served in the palace for several years, was awarded the Nangong Guard Order, with a rank of 600 stones, and paid in the palace at night. ”

When Sikong saw his father kneeling, he came out of his seat and knelt down, and at this time he heard the will. Lang Sheng said: "Sikong cut off and thanked the emperor." "Everyone in the hall knew that this swarthy young man was originally the son of Sikong Yu, and they all looked back. This son has a bright future, and everyone has written down his appearance in order to use it later.

Everyone felt the wind ringing in their ears, but it was a young man in black running away. Leave the back of the black suit.

The eunuch looked at the emperor, only to see that his brows were frowning slightly, and he stretched out in an instant, so he put his mind at ease.

Sikong Duan looked up and saw Liancheng coming, thinking about the etiquette of the palace, he hurriedly got up and stopped with his hand, but was swept away by Liancheng's palm.

Murong Liancheng was furious, got up and flew out of the hall, leaving the hall full of consternation.

Seeing the ministers, the eunuch cleared his throat and said, "After the dinner, the ministers are grateful." Everyone in the hall came to their senses, and hurriedly thanked them, not daring to think about it again.

However, he was thankful, and stepped out of the gate of the palace with an arrow step, and walked in the direction where Murong Liancheng flew.
