Chapter 9: The Ghost Hand and the Sword
Li Yu and Qu Ju vaguely remembered that Wang Yu gave Liu Sheng the thing, which was handed over to Wang Yu by King Wei when everyone left the post house. Wang Yu, the www.biquge.info of the pen "Fun" Pavilion, later returned to Beijing in a carriage with Ma Zhuzhu, although the two of them were worried, they never had the opportunity to ask Wang Yu, and they didn't know what that thing was.
But seeing Liu Sheng staring at the long and slightly yellowish white paper, his eyes were first full of surprise, and then he stared at the paper tightly. Because the two of them had their backs to the scroll, they couldn't tell what was on it, but because the scroll was relatively thin, they could tell from behind the paper that it was a painting, and there seemed to be an inscription next to it.
But after a while, Liu Sheng's eyes were staring at the painting, but his face became serious. Li Yu and Qu Ju couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but Wang Yu was silent when they saw the party on this side. After thinking about it, Li Yu seemed to know that this matter might be a good thing for Wang Yu, so he couldn't help but glance at Qu Ju, and the eyes of both of them suddenly relaxed.
"Someone!" I only heard Liu Sheng's deep shout, and Wang Yu's calm body under the ground couldn't help but tremble, and the person almost sat down. And Li Yu and Qu Yu's hearts that had just been put down suddenly rose again, and they couldn't help but look at Liu Sheng in unison.
The two eunuchs who had been waiting outside hurried in, but Liu Sheng ordered the two of them to lift up the paper scroll, and motioned for Li Yu and the two of them to come over to see it, and the two of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At first glance, it was a painting, a lifelike, extremely simple sketch figure painting that did not belong to this era.
The delicate Wang Yu sat on a stone bench under a big banyan tree, wearing a thin palace veil, holding a long Qiang flute with both hands.
Liu Jixing was good at painting in his own time, and painted many sketches, comics and oil paintings; I have also done interior design and body painting. Back then, I was able to travel everywhere with my bag on my back, because I could go to every place and use the skill of painting to make a living. Influenced by Western three-dimensional composition since childhood, his painting skills and effects will naturally stunned the ancients.
This kind of Western realistic sketch figure painting, so that the model in the painting on the paper is about to come out, the descendants of the major scenic spots of all kinds of painters at hand, although the painting skills are each has its own advantages and disadvantages, but in this era, and even the traditional Chinese plane painting skills, so that the literati and ink writers of the current era at a glance, it is like a heavenly calligraphy fairy painting, unique in the world.
If it weren't for looking at this Wang Yu kneeling beside him, Li Yu and Qu Ju would definitely think that the person in the painting was Wang Yu's body and was cast into the paper by someone casting a spell. After all, in this era, ghosts and spirits are more powerful and convincing, but looking at it is obviously just a painting.
What is even more surprising and inexplicable is that although the brush also uses black and white contrast, it is obviously not the usual brush and ink that everyone is used to. I saw that although the lines on the painting were a few single strokes, the people in the painting were reflected like real people, although they were vague and vague, they made people feel that the contrast between light and dark was strong.
Li Yiping was known as erudite and talented, and in recent years, he has been faintly promoted as one of the leading figures of the Southern Han Dynasty Wenchen, and he has learned from his family since childhood, so he is naturally also good at calligraphy and painting. At this time, he couldn't see what kind of painting technique it was, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Although Qu Ju has also studied painting, he has always focused on martial arts, and he must not know much about these, but he also knows that it is very good-looking, and he was in a daze, not knowing what Wang Yu meant by taking out this painting.
The two even wanted to reach out and touch the person in the painting, but they were surprised to find that the real person was right in front of them. The two were relatively shocked, and they even thought that Wang Yu's soul was locked in the painting. And on this side, Li Yu muttered along with the words next to the painting: "There is no way to eliminate this feeling, so I frowned, but I was in my heart!" "I just feel that the aftertaste is endless.
"The minister went to Luofu with His Majesty's holy will, and after thinking about it repeatedly on the way, he really had the heart to resolutely resign from the post of prince! I think Your Majesty can understand the reason! Wang Yu knelt there like a painting, and his faint voice seemed to come from afar.
She said softly: "But when I received His Highness at the post house, the minister felt as if something was wrong. Then what he saw and heard along the way made the minister's heart in turmoil, looking at His Highness's words and deeds, and some of the next actions and words, the minister was like a dreamγγγγγγ! β
Her voice was leisurely, as if it was ethereal and elegant, and her eyes seemed to be in a trance as if she was recalling the situation at that time, and she told the situation when she saw Liu Jixing and what happened.
Liu Sheng listened very carefully, although there are secret agents here who have already reported it, but how can Wang Yu be so detailed! For a while, only Wang Yu's delicate voice echoed in the hall.
"The minister is ashamed of being the prince, His Royal Highness has been brilliant since childhood, although the stubbornness is also caused by the identity, now he has to be educated by the real person, and the wisdom has been opened to the non-minister can teach, I hope that His Majesty will look at the face of the ancestors and fathers, and let the ministers retreat to Baiyun Mountain, and since then they have been idle in the mountains and forests to chant poetry against it, and spend the rest of their lives well! I hope that Your Majesty will be fulfilled,,,,,,! β
Wang Yu's voice had not yet fallen, and unexpectedly, Liu Sheng stopped with a wave of his hand, and his face could not tell what he was thinking.
But to the surprise of Li Yu and Qu Ju, Liu Sheng not only did not change his face, but also gently held Wang Yu's hands, but he held her up with laughter. "Destiny returns, God and man help it, a few Aiqing! Just be relieved to assist the king! The appointments of several people will be sent to the government immediately. Don't do what he thinks, don't do what he thinks! β
Li Yu on the side was boiling like water in a boiling pot, not to mention what King Wei said after summoning them in the post house that night, but only about Liu Sheng's decision now.
You must know that at the beginning of the founding of the Han Dynasty, it was only a place for two towns. Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty Liu Yan established the Dayue Kingdom with the foundation left by his father and brother, and pacified the land of Lingnan in less than a year, and took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to change the name of the country to the south.
At that time, Li Yu's father, Li Yinheng, was a famous family, and he originally served in the Tang Dynasty, because his grandfather Li Deyu, as the head of the Niu and Li party struggles, was degraded to Lingnan and Nanhai and died. As a descendant, he was naturally excluded and suppressed, and Li Yinheng also went to Lingnan later. At that time, Liu Yin, who was the envoy of Jinghai and Qinghai towns, wanted to develop, and naturally received favor from this talent. This Liu Yin is the later Emperor Xiang of the Great Han Dynasty, that is, the brother of the later Gaozu Emperor Liu Yan.
After Liu Yin's death, Liu Yan, who succeeded him, was a great talent, vigorously developed on the foundation of his father and brother, and soon took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains to establish the Han Dynasty. Since then, Li Yinheng, as one of the founding ministers, has also successfully become the courtiers of the Han Dynasty. Moreover, the emperor of the Gaozu Dynasty did not set up six Shangshu, and Li Yinheng also led Tongping Zhangshi with the title of squire, which is equivalent to serving as prime minister for more than 20 years.
And now the emperor asked Li Yu to change the title of the servant under the door, although the emperor previously issued an edict saying that he mentioned the book of the Ministry of Rites, but everyone knows how big the authority of the province is? What's more, he also added the title of prince and young master, and it is Tongping Zhangshi, and it is a third-grade and second-rank title, and it is also a tribute to the great ancestor Li Deyu's birthplace. This kind of courtesy has obviously greatly exceeded that of his father Li Yinheng back then, Li Yu was naturally surprised and happy in his heart, and couldn't help but lose his temper.
Although Li Yu also knew that Emperor Liu Sheng had few people around him who could be trusted in recent years, he had always wanted to win over some close ministers to help him, but because of his suspicion and suspicion. Two years ago, he spoiled Lin Yanyu, an eunuch, and these courtiers didn't dare to take the initiative to express their position. This time, the emperor hollowed out the design of the heart, obviously to build and cultivate the throne of King Wei, and he could be valued by the emperor, obviously not only because of his father's relationship, but also because of his loyalty to the Liu family dynasty is the main thing, and he couldn't help but look at the two people around him with high spirits, Wang Yu, the king of Jiaozhou.
At this time, the Han Dynasty was outside the separatist forces of the Central Plains and was able to vigorously develop the economy outside the war, and the greatest credit may come from a measure set up by Emperor Gaozu. That is, the local assassins of the Han Dynasty did not use military generals, and even the envoys of those towns and towns also appointed literati, which completely eliminated the source of self-reliance and turmoil of the local armed forces.
The development of this song is from the Jiaozhou Wang Qu Hao returned to the Han Dynasty, after the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was a king, two dukes, three marquis and four uncles, extremely graceful as a good story, is the first foreign surname after the establishment of the Han Dynasty.
Although the current king of Jiaozhou is Qu Ye, Qu Ye's nephew, who is only a few years old, he is a descendant of Qu Hao. The descendants of the Qu family do not have a long life, although no one has explored the reason, but this kind of grace of three or four generations is a good story.
The father of Qu Ju is the concubine of Qu Hao, the king of Jiaozhou, and the two dukes and three marquis were far away back then, not to mention that all the descendants of the Qu family have inheritance. What's more, when the current emperor seized the throne, because the Qu family and the emperor's younger brother Yue Wang Hongchang were very close to each other, they cut off the Qu family's one duke, two marquis and three uncles. If it weren't for the fact that the current emperor had a good relationship with Hou Qu Si of the South China Sea in the past, I am afraid that it would be possible for the Qu family to suffer at that time.
Xianninghou's pardon is very promising, and this Li Yu and Qu Sentence are all understood. At that time, the rebellion of the people in the South China Sea gradually became a climate, and the emperor Liu Sheng, who had just ascended to the throne, was full of spirit and sent his friend Nanhai Boqu to suppress it. Qu sighed that the door tiger did not live up to the trust to quell the turmoil, but he contracted the heat in the South China Sea, and died in Hainan within a few days. Because Qu Si has no heirs, he thought that his uncle and brother would inherit his title and use it to inherit the mantle of Qu Si's house.
It just so happened that Liu Sheng wanted to kill King Hongchang of Yue at that time, and the Qu family had always been close to King Yue. This makes Liu Sheng, who has always been jealous of even his brothers, to see the Qu family sitting on the branches and leaves. Under the pretext of eliminating the Qu family, he even pretended to read it on the Qu sigh, and retained the titles of one duke, one marquis and one earl to the Qu family. As for Qu Si's Marquis of the South China Sea, it is naturally not enough, after posthumously sealing the Marquis of Qu Si, the South China Sea has been set up as Xianning and Chang'an counties since then, and Li Yu has been Xianning Zhi County at the beginning.
Since then, the Qu family has trembled and held their tails, but they can't imagine that now Liu Sheng will think of this title again, and he will be named the Marquis of Xianning, which is very meaningful! Qu Ju and Qu Si are cousins, and they were both one of the top ten elites of the Qu family in the past, but Qu Si is a descendant, and Qu Si is just a descendant. Qu Ju saw Liu Sheng's move to promote himself, although he knew the intention, he was also full of emotion in his heart.
After Liu Sheng succeeded to the throne, he did not set up a military department, and the current military department squire in the DPRK is Wu Xun, the commander of the military department who once led the army to Dake Ma Chu and successively won more than ten states of Ma Chu, in fact, he has already retired in Xingwangfu. Suddenly, he added Qu Sentence as the right attendant of the Ministry of War, this is a real job in the imperial court, I don't know what medicine Liu Sheng sells, but it is obviously good for Qu Juan.
Although Liu Sheng made a verbal decree, everyone knew that Jun Wu was joking, and this matter would definitely not change. But when he remembered another matter, his face became strange, and for a while, everyone in the hall had different thoughts, and then he heard a voice from the eunuch outside, "Lord Lu in the service asks to see Your Majesty!" βγ
The clear water flows slowly into the distance, and the calm and soothing water seems to be full of vitality. This is a small village in the east of the capital Xingwangfu, and there are not a few families living in the village next to the river. The bank of the river is luxuriant, and the new leaves in late spring are lined with a little more novelty.
A barefoot man with a coarse cloth trouser leg on the riverside is sitting motionless on a slightly flat, one-foot square, Chu-colored big stone, gently holding a bamboo fishing rod in his hand, and is leisurely fishing with a rod.
He was dressed in dark but somewhat whitish linen clothes, and his long hair was lightly tied with strips of cloth at the back of his head, looking casual and informal. He has well-proportioned facial features and three light beards under his chin, and he looks like an ordinary country man.
At this time, the sunset is emitting its last afterglow, reflecting on the surface of the river in a colorful way, rippling and beautiful and intoxicating. From time to time, unknown small fish can be seen jumping out of the water, showing its vitality and vitality.
The man's angular lip line suddenly rose slightly, and there was a knowing smile at the corner of his eye. I saw that the bamboo pole in his hand was not moving, the long and slender rod head had been bent, but the fishing line was also tight. A large river carp jumped up, struggling and swimming in the water from time to time, and the man laughed.
"Good luck! It seems that Pan has a good mouth! A faint voice sounded slowly from behind, word by word clear, not fast or slow, but comfortable. I saw a man with a height of seven feet carrying his hands behind his back and wearing a long silk and blue Confucian shirt, slowly walking along the path by the river.
He seemed to walk very slowly, but in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of him, as if he would shrink into inches. He looks like he is in his thirties, but his eyes seem to be full of vicissitudes of life, with a light smile on his face, but the whole person gives people a particularly tall feeling in the sunset.
The fisherman did not look back, but only pulled the line with the rod, let the fish swim away in the water, and saw that the fish seemed to be still, and then pulled it closer to the shore, and grasped the hook with his long fingers. Seeing that this green scale river carp weighed four or five catties, he slowly took off the hook with a heavier smile, and casually placed it in an open bamboo basket half-immersed in the water beside him.
The man in brocade didn't seem to care about his actions at all, and stood quietly with his hands in his hands to watch him busy. The man in brocade is tall and sharp, but he also gives people the feeling of graceful, he watched the fishing man take the hook and take the fish, and then hook and hang the bait and go offline, and he seemed to be very attentive.
The fishing man gently held the bamboo pole, his eyes looked at the river calmly, and he didn't look at the brocade-clothed man from beginning to end. But he still spoke: "General Pan has always been busy with state affairs, how can he have time to come to this wild place for a walk. His voice sounded a little pleasant, and the unique charm of a man was full of charm, which made people feel that his plain face looked comfortable. He was very natural and casual, but the pair of eyes staring at the river were motionless, as if there was a beautiful woman there.
The brocade-clothed man, General Pan, smiled slightly, and replied, "Brother Siti hasn't seen King Wei for a few years!" He slowly returned his right hand to his eyes, and seemed to say something irrelevant, and between his fingers there was a freshly picked wild daisy, blooming beautifully. Pan hasn't come to see Brother Siti for three years! β
"Three years! Not long or short, General Pan can reach the realm of introverted essence and return to the basics, and then stabilize the innate true qi, which is already much stronger than many people! The fishing man's eyes seemed to be clearer and brighter, and his eyes were facing the sunset, and he was not afraid of the afterglow of the sunset, and muttered as if he was recalling something, "It took me four years and another hundred and seventy days that day!" β
This General Pan actually smiled bitterly, but suddenly there seemed to be a hint of arrogance between his eyebrows and said: "Not to mention that Brother Siti's cultivation is now much higher than Pan's, even seeing Brother Ling Li a few days ago also made Pan feel ashamed!" I'm afraid that now since the beginning of Emperor Gaozu of our Han Dynasty, the three characters behind him who can be on the list of strange arts, Pan Mou is going to retreat to the bottom! β
The fishing man ignored General Pan's emotion, but said lightly: "Is there something wrong with General Pan?" How is the world-famous tyrant Pan Chongche's mood seems to be a little blushing! He remained motionless, and his figure looked blurry as he stretched longer and longer in the setting sun.
It turned out that this brocade-clothed man, General Pan, turned out to be Pan Chongche, a famous general in the army of the Han Dynasty, and he was also the seventh ranked sword on the list of celebrities in the rivers and lakes. In the past, he and Xie Guan, another famous general of the Han Dynasty, attacked Chenzhou together, repelled the famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and was also among the celebrities and artists of the Buddha Bian Hao, who consolidated the newly promoted Ma Chu Xiangnan more than ten states for the Han Dynasty, and became famous all over the world and shocked the Han military, laying his reputation as the first general of the Han Dynasty. But now he has always been humble in front of this person, who is this person!
"Brother Siti is leisurely and elegant, it seems to be more extraordinary, Pan is extremely admired, Pan lives in the court and has a vulgar heart that can't give up, so there are mundane things I want to ask Brother Siti!" With a slight wave of his hand, the daisy in his hand flew up, and the gentle spinning was so beautiful that it slowly fell into the river. "King Wei may not be interested in Brother Siti, but what if it is Xia Qinghou with a white cloth and a silver spear!"
The fishing man reacted for the first time, although he didn't move, but his plain eyes suddenly shone brightly.
Pan's subordinates found out that Xia Qinghou suddenly returned to Beijing with King Wei and entered the palace with him! It is said that in order to blame Pan, someone sent a lot of masters to stop and kill King Wei, and they must have been taught a good lesson by Xia Qinghou! Pan Chongche had a smile on his face, and it was a happy smile. Tonight's palace banquet, Brother Siti won't go with Pan to see? β
"In the past, there were several people in front of the emperor, only you, a certain family, and Ling Li could be on the Qiyi list, it was not a fluke, they were all guided by the great grace of the first emperor, so they had today's achievements. Now you are the only one who is still in the army, and your personal pursuits are different, and I don't want to speculate on what you think in your hearts. But thank you so much for telling me the news! I also tell you a piece of news, King Ming sent someone to send a book to me yesterday, saying that I haven't seen him for many years, and Gao Siming, a disciple he has received over the years, wants to come over and let me give me some advice! The fishing man paused, looked at Pan Chongche, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly. If I can come back to fish after meeting Xia Qinghou, I would like to take a look at the chief disciple who has been recommended by the Ming throne in recent years! β
Pan Chongche's face tightened, and he still said lightly: "Has King Ming, who has been silent for many years, come up with it!" He turned his head to look at the river, groaned thoughtfully, and said slowly: "Xia Qinghou obviously has no intention of coming to Xing Wangfu, and it may be a little troublesome for the junior in my family." As a world-famous ghost hand master, Brother Siti doesn't have to worry about King Wei's scheming, how about going into the palace tonight to drink together, it is said that when Pan came, Brother Ling had already gone to Xia Qinghou's place for half an hour! Brother Li's cultivation should be the best in his heart! Hahaha! β
It turned out that this fishing man turned out to be the legendary ghost hand Shigo.
