On the Qinhuai River, the sound of silk and bamboo permeated it, and laughter and laughter came from time to time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Qi Ning's face was quite unsightly, and he said in a low voice: "The emperor thinks that there are courtiers involved?" ”

"This layout is very thorough, but Li Hongxin is involved." Long Tai said slowly: "Especially the epidemic virus in the capital, if there is no court official involved, it is hard for me to imagine that they will go so smoothly." Li Hongxin spent so much money in the capital, and I also believe that when it comes to employing people, there will always be a few that can be used by him. After a pause, he sneered: "All this happened after the death of my father, and I just succeeded to the throne, is it a coincidence?" I just said to Swing Yi that those people were going for the seventy-two holes of the Miao family, but I also knew that they might not be coming for me. ”

"Does the emperor think that someone wants to take the opportunity to rebel?" Qi Ning lowered his voice.

Longtai said: "This is what I am worried about. If the epidemic poison in the capital is intended to disrupt Kyoto and make it possible for the capital to appear, then it is naturally aimed at me. Once this happens, there will inevitably be courtiers involved, and although the forces in the rivers and lakes are wild and untamable, they do not have the courage to dare to be enemies of me, let alone covet my position. ”

Qi Ning thought for a moment before asking softly, "If there are really courtiers involved, then...... Who could that be? Won't it be .....? But he didn't say it.

"I know you want to say that it is the King of Huainan." Longtai said: "King Huainan is naturally not convinced by me, he regards himself as the grandson of Emperor Taizu, and he has bad intentions, and I am also clear. Leaning forward slightly, he lowered his voice and said: "However, the King of Huainan has never been out of Beijing, although his father has been on patrol several times and brought him with him, but he has always been under surveillance and has no chance to contact the forces of the rivers and lakes." The Huainan Royal Mansion has also been under the surveillance of the imperial court, and I also have an account in my heart about who he interacts with, and if he is involved in the affairs of Xichuan, it is quite reluctant. ”

Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, after the outbreak of the epidemic in Beijing, the king of Huainan strongly advocated sending troops to conscript, which seems quite abnormal, if he has nothing to do with Xichuan, why would he strongly advocate sending troops to Xichuan?" He seems to have a grudge against the Black Lotus Sect, what is the reason for this? ”

Long Tai bowed his head and said: "I also discovered this, and I also sent someone to investigate secretly, but I have not investigated that the King of Huainan has any dealings with anyone in Xichuan. I thought about it carefully, whether the king of Huainan wanted to use Xichuan to use troops and promote his people into the army ......! After thinking about it, he said solemnly: "In any case, this matter must be investigated." ”

"Naturally, we have to find out." Qi Ning said: "Your Majesty, I'm still worried, will all this be done by the Northern Han people?" The Northern Han people could not break through the defense line of our Great Chu head-on, so they sent people to infiltrate the territory of our Chu State, and carefully planned to make Chu internal turmoil, so as to find an opportunity to go south again. ”

"If that's the case, we need to find out these people as soon as possible." Long Tai said: "Fortunately, that Lu Shanghe has already revealed clues, as long as you keep an eye on this person, you should be able to gain something." I didn't want to startle the snake, so I let Swing Yi investigate secretly. He got up, stretched his waist, and said with a smile: "That's it, let's talk about these things later, I'm a little tired, Qi Ning, go and see, is the fairy girl ready?" ”

Qi Ning thought that Xichuan's affairs were complicated, and since Longtai knew it, he didn't have to think about it.

It's just that he understands in his heart that in Longtai's hands, there is naturally another team, and the ability of this team should not be weak, otherwise Longtai would not know so much news about Xichuan.

He just heard Longtai say that he was just going to Xichuan to cover up, and he was really a little unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it, Longtai was the emperor after all, even if there was no usable power in his hands before, but the first emperor was not a fool after all, and he would more or less leave some usable people for Longtai.

At present, the Manchu Dynasty feels that the new monarch of Longtai has ascended the throne, and the power in the court is controlled by the Sima family, and the little emperor also tries his best to show his strength and loneliness, which is of course intentional, and the forces controlled by him will not be easily revealed to the outside world, but what he said today is equivalent to revealing a lot of information to Qi Ning, and it can be regarded as a great trust in Qi Ning.

Qi Ning knew that the little emperor let him go to Xichuan to cover up, not that he didn't trust himself, maybe he was just a doubt about his ability.

After all, he has never experienced such a major event, and in Xichuan, Li Hongxin is even more cunning, the emperor doubts whether he can defeat Li Hongxin, that is also human nature, and sent more effective people to investigate secretly in Xichuan, which can be regarded as thoughtful, the little emperor is so shrewd, but it also makes Qi Ning more impressive.

Zhuo Xian'er was ready earlier, but she didn't call here, and she didn't dare to come over to disturb, Qi Ning saw that everything was ready, so she invited Longtai over.

After leaving the palace, the court swordsman Xiang Tianbei was like the shadow of the little emperor, always following the little emperor's side, and he didn't speak easily.

On the painting boat, there is a special piano room, which is very elegantly arranged, and after Longtai sat down, he also let Xiang Tianbei sit aside.

Lin Xian'er had already changed into a dress at this time, wearing a shallow water blue wide skirt, long hair shawl, tied with a water blue silk ribbon, the hosta was lightly pulled, and the tip of the hairpin hung a small chain like water droplets, swaying slightly like the rain was ethereal, like the first bloom of light plums, the fairy was beautiful, clear and beautiful than the fairy, there was a natural freshness to carve and decorate, especially the charm of the eyebrows and lip flaps, elegant and gentle, and the expression was warm with a touch of coquettishness.

"I don't know what tunes the Hou Ye and this son want to listen to?" Xian'er's pink lips opened lightly, and her smile was slightly shy: "Xian'er's skills are rough, I hope I don't want to laugh." ”

Longtai smiled: "You can play whatever you are good at." He added: "The more remote the better, I have listened to a lot of tunes, many of which are already tired, if there are new songs, just play them." ”

Xian'er thought for a while, and then said: "Xian'er has seen a music score of others, and thinks it is quite novel, so I remember it in my heart, and I have never played it to others. ”

"Manju Sahua? It's a strange name, I've never heard of such a music score, hahaha, the fairy girl has such a song, that's naturally great. Longtai clapped his hands and smiled: "The more novel, the better, fairy girl, hurry up and play it, let me see and understand." ”

Xian'er glanced at Qi Ning, saw that Qi Ning was looking at herself with a smile, smiled softly, and raised a pair of jade arms, which were very green and soft on the piano surface.

Qi Ning didn't know much about the rhythm of music, and he didn't know much, but he had heard Xian'er play the piano before, and he knew that Xian'er's piano skills were indeed very good.

Listening to the sound of the clanging and soft, the sound of the piano was curling, and Longtai closed his eyes slightly.

At first, the sound of the piano is high-pitched, and it seems very low, like a gossamer drifting in the wind, and the sound of this gossamer is quite strange, as if it will stop at any moment.

After a while, the sound of the piano is even more strange, there is no such wind and moon rhythm at all, but there is no high-pitched and agitated sound, it always seems as thin as a gossamer, the melody is not so beautiful, but a little sad and confused, if it is compared to singing, this tune is like a person singing softly in a hoarse voice.

Qi Ning was a little surprised, and it was strange to say, although this rhythm was unusual and not beautiful, but it could make people listen to it, Qi Ning didn't have much love for music, but this tune was together, but he always wanted to hear the rhythm behind it.

The rhythm is soft and low, after a while, the rhythm goes low, and there are a few places that are even a little harsh, Qi Ning thought at first that Xian'er had made the wrong string due to nervousness, but then there were always a few places that went low from time to time, as if it was a piercing sound that deliberately woke people up, and Qi Ning knew that this was part of this tune.

He closed his eyes and tasted it carefully, but he felt that those few basses were interspersed with them, and they were actually very charming, if there were no those few basses, it would seem too flat.

The sound of the piano became more and more poignant, between the plucking of the strings, Qi Ning actually felt that his heartstrings were also plucked, with the poignant sound of the piano echoing in his ears, his mood became extremely heavy, and even a little lost and melancholy, I don't know how long it took, I suddenly felt a little cold in the corners of my eyes, not only raised my hand to wipe it, but was shocked to find that I don't know when, tears overflowed from the corners of my eyes.

Qi Ning was surprised in his heart, secretly thinking about how he cried, but he didn't know anything, opened his eyes, turned his head to look over, only to see that Long Tai always maintained the previous sitting position, his eyes were still closed, and in the corner of his eyes, there were tears rolling down his cheeks, and at this time, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, that is, at this moment, Qi Ning clearly saw Long Tai's body tremble, and then saw Long Tai open his eyes and stare straight at Zhuo Xian'er.

Xian'er got up, Yingying saluted, and didn't speak, Longtai seemed to realize that he was crying at this time, raised his hand to wipe it away, and said with a little sadness: "Xian'er girl, your song is called Manzhu Shahua?" ”

Xian'er said, "Yes." ”

"Manju Sawa .......!" Long Tai muttered to himself, "I have heard the legend that Manzhu Sawa is a kind of flower, called the flower of hell, does the fairy girl know?" ”

Xian'er said: "I have also read this legend in the book. Legend has it that Manju Sawa was a flower who voluntarily threw herself into hell, but was sent back by the demons, but she still wandered on the Yellow Spring Road, and the demons couldn't bear to see it, so they agreed to let her open on this road to give guidance to the souls who had left the world. ”

"Flowers bloom for a thousand years, fall for a thousand years, flowers and leaves never meet, love is not cause and effect, fate is destined to life and death." Long Tai sighed lightly: "This flower is only blooming on the side of the Santu River in the underworld, on the other side of the Lethe River, the flowers are as brilliant and bright red as blood, paved with the road to hell, and there are flowers and no leaves, it is the only flower in the underworld, it is said that her fragrance has magical powers, can make the souls of the dead evoke memories of life. ”
