Chapter 5 Li Jing's visit to Shangrong in Taishifu

A month passed in the blink of an eye, and after saying goodbye to her parents, she returned to her respective teachers.

On this day, after Li Jing arranged the military administration of Chentangguan, he said goodbye to his family, and followed by two families who would set off from Chentangguan to Fengyun Town. It is said that Fengyun Town is on Donglu Avenue, only dozens of miles away from Taishifu.

However, on the sixth or seventh day, Li Jing and his entourage arrived at Fengyun Town, and after walking for half an hour, they saw the gold characters on the pink wall, and the plaque reads "Taishifu". Li Jing and the others hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted, walked to the door and knocked on the door.

At this time, it was noon, the gate of Taishi's Mansion was open, and two or three servants greeted at the door. ”

After speaking, he walked towards the courtyard house, and his subordinates greeted his two generals.

The banquet of Taishi's Mansion had already been set up in the courtyard, and there were not many people who came, most of them were Shangrong's students and doormen, as well as two or three local officials.

Li Jing walked less than two steps, and then saw an old man, although his hair was gray, he was in good spirits, with a beard half a foot long under his chin, and his eyes did not have the chaos that an old man should have, but they were full of wisdom, this person was Shang Rong.

Li Jing happily stepped forward and saluted: "Li Jing to see my uncle, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." ”

Shang Rong said with some reproach: "The frontier matter is serious, how can you leave the frontier matter because of visiting me?" After saying that, he began to greet the others again.

Shang Rong has no children and no daughters, and treats Li Jing as his own. Li Jing knew most of the people in the courtyard, and after saying hello, he found a corner and sat down. The banquet lasted until the evening, during which the staggered and sang and danced. By the time the crowd had dispersed, the moon had risen for the most part. Li Jing saw that it was too late and didn't want to disturb Shang Rong's rest, and thought about coming to the Taishi's Mansion tomorrow to visit, but he saw the housekeeper coming over and saying to Li Jing: "My lord, my lord, please go to the garden to talk." ”

The flowers are very beautiful, red, white, purple, pink and yellow, competing with each other. The garden is lit up with lanterns around the garden.

Shang Rong saw Li Jing, waved his hand to beckon him over, and pointed to the chair next to him and asked Li Jing to sit down. He greeted him: "How is the situation on the frontier? I remember that those people who came to Yi a few years ago were still safe?"

Li Jing waved his hand and said with a smile: "A little barbarian is not to worry, but what is the situation in the DPRK and China, a few years ago, His Majesty also worked hard to make the country prosperous and appointed virtuous ministers, how can his temperament change greatly now?"

"You should not have seen Your Majesty for four or five years, alas, there are demons in the court! Since the Son of Heaven quelled the rebellion of Hou Suhu in Jizhou, and married Su Daji, the daughter of Su Hu, as a concubine, he indulged in wine and dance every day, ignored the government and became more and more violent. Mabel was even tortured by Daji's cannon and burned alive to ashes in the main hall. That demon girl is in trouble, and I can't wait to dig out her heart and eat her flesh. ”

"Uncle is angry, thinking that there are still important ministers such as Bigan, Weizi, Jizi, and General Huang Feihu in the court, and I don't think that Su Daji will be able to make any waves, so I ask my uncle to calm his anger. Although Li Jing was so relieved to Shang Rong, he knew in his heart that Nada had already turned the court upside down.

When Shang Rong calmed down, Li Jing said with a smile: "I know you like music, I found two pieces called "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water" in the past two days, and I just gave them to you." "This month, Li Jing has been preparing gifts. With the assistance of the system, Li Jing sorted out the two songs "High Mountain" and "Flowing Water", and for the first time felt that this system was still useful, and he was moved to cry.

Shang Rong took the song and read it carefully for a while, and said happily to his subordinates: "Take my 'listening to the wind'." After a while, the descendant came with a guqin, which has five strings, and the five elements are combined, metal, wood, water, fire, and earth; The outer combination of five tones, palace, business, horn, sign, feather.

Shang Rong straightened the breeze and played it with his hand, Li Jing closed his eyes and listened, only hearing the sound of the strings, as if he could see a high mountain, as if facing the sea, as if it was a stream, and as if it was a mountain spring. At first, I only felt that the sound of the piano was melodious, and slowly the sound of the piano was sorrowful, and I didn't feel sadness.

After the song was finished, Li Jing adjusted his mood. He chatted with Shang Rong about some interesting things about the border pass, talking about the Dragon King of the East China Sea, Li Jing said: "The Dragon King has the ability to spread the rain in the clouds, in recent years, there has been a great drought in Chentangguan, and when it is too dry, the people will worship the Dragon King, and the Dragon King will always help the people to rain a few times to alleviate the drought." Chen Tangguan did receive the favor of the Dragon King. ”

Shang Rong frowned and said, "After all, the Dragon King is a god, when he is happy, he will give rain, and when he is angry, he is afraid that he will do something hurtful, so you can't rely on him completely." After speaking, he sighed and said, "Now it seems that there is no other way. ”

Li Jing nodded and agreed, and chatted for another half an hour, Li Jing saw that Shang Rong's expression was tired, so he got up to say goodbye, and when he left, Shang Rong instructed again: "Li Jing boy, I know that you are young and old, calm and kind. It's just that it's an eventful time now, so you must be cautious, although I'm in the countryside, my heart has always been in that song city. There are still us old guys in the court, don't worry. ”

Li Jing looked at this old man who had spent his life for the country, and felt a little uncomfortable, Shang Rong was his only elder uncle now, it was he who told me that Li's husband had something to do and not to do, and he also told Li that he should be loyal and righteous, and now this old man's hair has turned gray, and his nose can't help but be a little sour, he bowed and said: "Li Jing will definitely keep the peace of the party, and ask my uncle to take care of his body." After saying that, he turned around and retreated, and his own subordinates arranged a place for him to stay.

Shang Rong kept staring at Li Jing until Li Jing disappeared, sighed abruptly, and muttered silently: "You must guard Chengtang Jiangshan." "I think this old man has already noticed something, but he is just a loyal liver and righteous courage, who can he talk to?
