Three days have passed, although the Huanghua Post House is the "Royal Hotel" hand-picked by Yubi, with luxurious facilities and comfortable environment, but the Boyi Examination is like sitting on pins and needles, and it is difficult to sleep and eat.

After the Son of Heaven accepted those gifts, he seemed to forget about it, and the phrase "choose a day to see the driver" did not know that it could only be fulfilled in the Year of the Monkey. And Bo Yi's request to see Jin was also like a mud cow into the sea, and he didn't hear back several times, and he couldn't help but be anxious.

Bo Yi Kao also went to visit some dignitaries with generous gifts, wanting to open the joint to get the audience of the Son of Heaven, or ask for an instruction to meet his father. Unexpectedly, at present, the Ministry of Officials is strictly investigating the officials who took bribes, and the Son of Heaven has also personally issued the will of "cannon branding", and those officials saw the gifts he brought, where there was still the appearance of salivating on weekdays, and they were so frightened that they flew out of the sky and hurriedly "invited" him out of the door.

When walking on the street, he suddenly saw a mansion, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he hurriedly came to the door to ask to see, and there were two big words on the mansion: "Su Mansion".

As the national abbot, Su Hu was somewhat surprised by Bo Yikao's request to see him, but he still politely invited him in.

As soon as Bo Yi Kao saw Su Hu's face, he immediately knelt down, and said, "Please save my father's life!"

Su Hu hurriedly helped Bo Yi to take the exam: "Why is the virtuous son like this?"

Bo Yi Kao wept and said: "My father has been imprisoned, and he has not been able to extricate himself, because he is weak and sick, and he is sick with thoughts, and he is really worried about his life. Now Boyi was admitted to Jingnagong, in order to atone for his father's sins, and asked the Son of Heaven to forgive my father, but the Son of Heaven has not been able to summon him. I can't help but be anxious. I have come to ask Lord Guozhang to help, and I hope that Lord Guozhang will look at the past feelings, and don't retreat!"

When Su Hu heard this request, his brows furrowed tightly. said: "The virtuous son doesn't know, although I have the name of a national abbot, but I have no real power, although I have the heart to help Xibohou, but I can't do it, the son still goes to find the song than to do it." ”

Bo Yi Kao smiled bitterly: "The little nephew once asked to see the prime minister and Yaxiang, but they were all pushed by others to say that they were not there, but I am afraid that they don't want to be burdened by me." My father once said that the ruler of the kingdom is a righteous man. Therefore, I came to trouble, and I beg the help of Lord Kokujo!"

Su Hu's face was embarrassed, and he said: "The Son of Heaven has always been suspicious of me, and it is very difficult to even enter the palace to visit on weekdays. I'm afraid that it will be unfavorable to Xibohou. ”

Bo Yi asked: "The Son of Heaven is the only favorite of Concubine Yan, and the world knows it, if you can ask Niangniang to say a good word or two, this matter will be done." ”

Su Hu pondered for a long time and didn't say anything - Su Hu was not the type to help others, and since the defeat of Jizhou, he has also suffered a lot of humiliation, and his scheming has become deeper and deeper. Although Bo Yi Kao said that it is feasible, if there is no benefit, he Su Hu will not do more about it.

Bo Yi Kao knew that Su Hu was hesitant in his heart. He said in a low voice: "Lord Guozhang has a good relationship with his father, and a few years ago he made a red silk appointment between his little nephew and his young lady, just because he didn't have a chance. Therefore, he has now become a monarch and a minister. And the lord of the country was trapped in Jizhou, and his father had personally come to relieve the siege, and he had a lot of care, so please remember the love in the past and save the misfortune of his father. ”

Su Hulang laughed and said, "There are no outsiders here. I'm not afraid to pour out my heartfelt words. The virtuous son and the little girl have no chance. I still have regrets, Xibohou's life-saving grace. Su Hu is even more unforgettable, although I am not sure about this matter, I should do my best. ”

Although Su Hu laughed, there was no smile on his face, and there was a faint flash of fierceness in his eyes. Bo Yi Kao's words seem to be very polite on the surface, but in fact, they have two meanings: first, Ji Chang and Su Hu had orally made a marriage contract for their children and daughters, and they also had the intention of joining forces, but later Su Hu sent Da Ji into the palace for begging, and Bo Yi Kao's dream was frustrated, and the Su family lost to Xiqi; When Su Hu rebelled in Jizhou, it was Ji Chang who stepped forward and united the princes to ask the Son of Heaven to Nadaji to avoid the disaster of Su Hu's extermination.

At the same time, Su Hu also heard a faint threat from Bo Yikao's words, Su Hu and Ji Chang still had some shady secret agreements that day, if they were ungrateful and refused to help, then these things would naturally be exposed, of course, no one would want such a fish to die and the net to be broken.

When Bo Yi Kao heard Su Hu's promise, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly thanked him, his attitude was very sincere, and finally made Su Hu feel a little comfortable.

"Although Concubine Yan is favored, but after all, she is in the inner palace, and it is not very convenient to deal with the court, why don't you go to visit the important ministers in the court, dredge the joints, if you can go together, this matter should be. ”

Bo Yi Kao said the things that the officials shirked or even avoided, Su Hu thought about it for a while, and said: "Although the officials are very strict at the moment, it is not impermeable, Bigan, Jiang Shangzhi and others are role models for courtiers, and they are reluctant to meet with Gongzi, there is one person who is greedy for money and lustful, but he still has the trust of the Son of Heaven, and Gongzi can find this person to start." ”

"The person that Lord Guozhang is talking about, is it the senior doctor Fei Zhong?" Bo Yi Kao shook his head and said: "The little nephew has visited him three times, and each time the door official is not in the mansion, I am afraid that he is also deliberately avoiding it." ”

Su Hu said with a smile: "Don't misunderstand, this is not a lie, that Fei Zhong is good at catering to the Son of Heaven, since the Son of Heaven handed over the affairs of the new palace and Lutai to his host, in order to show his loyalty, he built a simple temporary shed in the southern suburbs to live, and was busy with the construction site all day long, and rarely returned home. If Childe wants to find this person, he should go to the southern suburbs. ”

Bo Yi Kao suddenly realized, hurriedly thanked Su Hu, returned to the post house to prepare, and took advantage of the night to go towards the southern suburbs. Su Hu's guidance was indeed correct, and Bo Yi Kao found Doctor Fei Zhong in a rather simple house. After some pleading and prevarication, Fei Zhong finally accepted the generous gift "reluctantly", and promised to promote Boyi's examination in front of the Son of Heaven.

Bo Yi was overjoyed and made a lot of promises, compared with the previous repeated encounters, this trip to the southern suburbs was so smooth that he almost jumped up with joy, and after returning to the post house, he finally slept peacefully.

It's a pity that there is one thing that Bo Yi Kao doesn't know, otherwise I'm afraid that he will lose sleep tonight - after Fei Zhong sent him away, he immediately rushed to the palace. The matter was secretly replayed to the Son of Heaven, and the gift he gave to Fei Zhong was rewarded to Fei Zhong by the Son of Heaven. Fei Zhong's move won the trust of the Son of Heaven. He was also very proud of the fact that he had obtained this valuable wealth.

Two days later, the Son of Heaven really "remembered" the prince of Xibohou who was still waiting to be summoned in the Huanghua Post House, and immediately ordered him to go to the Xianqing Hall to see him.

Boyi was overjoyed, should be edicted to enter the palace, came to the Xianqing Palace, and saw that there were still Bigan, Jiang Shang, Fei Zhong, Zhao Qi and other important ministers in the palace. It seems that the Son of Heaven is feasting on a number of important ministers.

Bo Yi Kao walked on his elbows and knel, and said, "Bo Yi Kao, the son of a criminal minister, will see you at the court." ”

Zhang Zixing said: "The matter of Xibohou has not yet been clarified, so he temporarily resides, and there is no need for the word sinful minister, and now the son pays tribute to atone for his father." It can also be filial piety. ”

Seeing that the tone of the Son of Heaven did not seem to be severe, Bo Yi hurriedly said: "The minister's father Ji Chang has won the grace of the Son of Heaven, and he will forgive and forgive the sin. Now that Xiqi has lost his former master, the people's hearts are unstable, and the ministers are not stupid, and they are not stupid, and they are guilty of their father's crimes. If His Majesty allows his father to return it, the ministers will pay tribute to His Majesty's virtue of good life for thousands of years. ”

The Son of Heaven frowned and said, "Assassination at the altar is an unpardonable sin. On that day, the assassin was suspicious of Ji Chang, and all the ministers witnessed it, but the widow remembered that Ji Chang was known as a virtuous person. He did not want to kill a good person by mistake, so he sent him to live in it. The Criminal Department has not yet found out this matter, and Ji Chang has not been able to return his innocence, so how can he be released? Go back to Xiqi. When the truth is revealed, Ruo Jichang is really innocent. The widow will let him go. ”

When Bo Yi Kao heard this, he hurriedly begged.

At this time, the attendant reported: "Concubine Yan Niangniang came by order and has arrived outside the Xianqing Palace. ”

The Son of Heaven was very happy, and he ordered Da Ji to enter, and Gu left and right said: "The widow specially invited the concubine to come and have a banquet with all the Qing families.

Soon, Concubine Yan Daji entered the palace. All the ministers worshipped: "Niang Niang Chitose!"

Daji was wearing a plain long skirt, apricot face and peach cheeks, delicate willow waist, and her beauty was amazing, she walked to Zhang Zixing, and Ying Ying bowed: "The concubine has seen Your Majesty." ”

"The concubine is flat. Zhang Zixing showed love and pity, stepped forward in person, helped Daji, and sat down hand in hand with her, and the ministers also got up and sat down.

"Today, the monarchs and ministers are happy together, and all of you Aiqing, please drink this lord together. Zhang Zixing raised the golden jue, and Daji followed, and the ministers hurriedly thanked the Son of Heaven and drank the wine in their hands.

Zhang Zixing glanced at Bo Yi Kao, who was still lying on the ground and didn't dare to get up, and said, "Bo Yi Kao, since you have come to Xianqing Palace, you might as well have fun." Today's feast is not anything else. ”

Bo Yi didn't dare to say much, so he quickly thanked the Son of Heaven. Daji had been taken care of by Su Hu, and he knew about Boyi's examination, and he also wanted to promote Ji Chang's return to chaos in the world, so he deliberately asked, "Who is this?"

Zhang Zixing briefly said about Boyi's tribute and atonement, Daji showed surprise, and said: "Although the concubine is a woman, she heard the legend of her parents when she was young. ”

Zhang Zixing pretended to be surprised and said, "I don't want Boyi to have this ability!"

Daji said: "Bo Yi Kao, I heard that you are good at playing the piano, why don't you try to play a song today?"

When Bo Yi saw Daji mention this, he knew in his heart that it was the Suhu Tribe. Looking up at Daji, he felt that this Yan Concubine was really beautiful, and she had seen it in her life, although she was moved, she didn't dare to show half a point, and then she whispered: "Niangniang is above: the subordinates heard that their parents were sick, and they didn't dare to eat comfortably if they were sons of men." Today, the minister's father has not yet been taken off, and he can't even see each other, the minister's heart is broken, and the rhythm of Aneng Palace is insulting to Shengcong. ”

Da Ji used her coquettish skills, and begged Zhang Zixing to let Bo Yi see Ji Chang, so that she could hear the sound of her piano with full filial piety. Zhang Zixing pretended to be obedient to Da Ji's words, and said: "Even if the concubine begs, the widow can't bear to disobey...... Bo Yi Kao, you and a song, if it is really unparalleled in the world, you will be allowed to go to the Li to meet with Ji Chang, if it is just ordinary, do not blame the widow for treating you for the crime of bullying the king. ”

When Bo Yi Kao heard this, he was very happy and grateful, and the Son of Heaven sent a decree to take a piano. Bo Yi Kao sat cross-legged on the ground, put the piano on his lap, and was about to play, when suddenly his mind changed and said: "Your Majesty, the three treasures that the ministers paid the day before yesterday, the seven-spice car, the sobering felt, and the white-faced ape. Among them, the white-faced ape is deeply spiritual, and can sing and dance with the sound of the piano of the subordinates. ”

Bo Yi took the exam to remind the Son of Heaven to contribute to the Three Treasures and show his merits, and secondly, he also wanted to use the song and dance of the white ape to impress the Son of Heaven. Zhang Zixing understood what he meant, and immediately played it.

Soon, the white ape was taken to the Xianqing Palace, and Bo Yi plucked the strings and immediately stroked a song, which was the original song "The Wind Enters the Song".

The sound of the piano is melodious, really like a jade pearl, and the white ape and Bo Yi Kao have also cooperated for several years, extremely tacit, interspersed with singing and dancing in a timely manner, making the effect better. The ministers listened to it with great joy and praised it secretly.

Daji praised: "Under the fame, it is not false, this song can be called perfect, unparalleled in the world!"

At this time, a voice came from outside the hall: "Just a small skill ear, An dares to claim that there is nothing in the world."

This voice was very peculiar, as if confusing several sounds, when Daji heard this voice, his hand suddenly trembled, and he could barely hold the golden jue in his hand, and quickly pretended to lower his head and stroke his cuffs to hide the surprise on his face.

Yang Ren stood up and shouted, "Who dares to be so rude and disturb the Holy Hearing?"

Seeing that the Son of Heaven showed great joy, he stood up and blurted out: "National Teacher!"

When Bigan heard the name of the national teacher, he also smiled, and after the incident at Xuanyuan's tomb, Bigan admired the Taoist character of the national teacher, and the wine sent by the national teacher made him full of praise. The rest of the courtiers only vaguely learned that the Son of Heaven had secretly canonized a worldly master as a national teacher, but they had never masked their faces, and they couldn't help but be curious.

Zhang Zixing motioned for Yang Ren to sit down, and was about to speak, when a piano sound suddenly came from outside the hall.

The ministers only felt a trance, as if they were in the moon of September or October, only to feel that the autumn was high and refreshing, the wind was calm and the sand was flat, the clouds were thousands of miles, the wild geese were flying, the melody rose and fell, and it was continuous, beautiful and beautiful; the tone was quiet and beautiful, and there was movement in the stillness.

Just when the ministers listened to it as if they were fascinated, the sound of the piano suddenly turned and became sad and mournful, the high was gloomy and sad, and the low was deep and sad, and the listener was constantly sad. At the end of the song, everyone burst into tears, and even the white-faced ape felt his life experience, and he fell to the ground and wept endlessly.

The Son of Heaven was the first to wake up and exclaimed: "This song should only exist in heaven, and the world can hear it a few times!"

In response to the praise of the Son of Heaven, there were a few distant piano sounds like mountains and flowing water, and the ministers listened to the sound outside the hall that was gradually moving away, and they knew that the mysterious national teacher did not say goodbye.

Bigan got up and said: "The subordinates and others can't help it, the skills of the national teacher are superb, and they can be called unparalleled in the world!"

Bo Yi Kao's face was pale, and he sat in front of the hall, as if he had forgotten the etiquette, and the original things were going quite smoothly, but he didn't expect to kill this mysterious national teacher halfway.

But even Bo Yi tested himself, and he had to admit that this national teacher's piano skills are indeed unparalleled in the world, far better than himself, and that qin music has never been seen in his life, and even the few "simple" piano sounds that say goodbye to the Son of Heaven at the end are by no means idle. Although he is usually conceited of his piano skills, he can only be ashamed of himself. Now not to mention pardoning my father and returning to the court, I have even lost the opportunity to see my father.
