Chapter Ninety-Two: Su Gui's Old Dream Crying and Ripples (II)
When Gongzi was even happy in Wei Du, in the palace of Qi Linzi thousands of miles away, Qi Hou Lu Yuan, who had just been on the throne for a year, was also happy.
I lost my father last year, and this year is still in the three-year decay period, so it is said that I can't drink, but Qi Hou Lu Loan is drinking happily, looking at the dancing girl below, and praising loudly.
This year, several countries have invaded Qi, the Three Jin Dynasty has broken the Great Wall of Qi, the Yue Kingdom is aggressive like a tiger, and the Tian clan is fighting each other in civil strife.
It is said that even if you drink alcohol, you should sigh and weep at the moon. But Qi Hou Lu Loan didn't seem to care about those things at all, and only cared about whether the dance steps of the dancing girl below were wrong.
At least, that's what it seems.
Tian He asked to see him, and Qi Hou asked Tian He to sit and watch, drinking and talking.
Qi Hou picked up a delicate bronze jue, and did not talk about those state and political affairs, but said: "The wine offered by Qing is really good!" Clear and fierce, those who can drink a stone, now only three or five cups will be drunk unconscious. These ink writers only exchanged one stone of wine for twenty cows, and they really got it! Come on, come on, have a few drinks with the widow! β
Tian He coughed lightly, and the people playing music next to him didn't wait for Qi Hou's order, so they stopped without permission and didn't dare to move.
Qi Hou didn't seem to care, and just asked, "Why did you stop?" I'm about to drink more! β
Tian He stood opposite Qi Hou very casually and said: "The Jin people sent a silk book, saying that Longze lost 30,000 Qi people in the first battle, and he couldn't bear that these Qi people could not return to their hometowns after they died, so they were willing to return to the corpses." β
Qi Hou said: "This is a good thing, and it should be so." Just do it. β
Tian He sighed. "But if you collect the corpse, you need money. Now that the country has a disaster, please stop drinking and having fun, save money and collect the corpses of soldiers......"
Qi Hou seemed to have some unhappiness on his face as soon as he heard that he was not allowed to have fun, and frowned: "This ...... The man is already dead, and it is useless to retrieve the body. Moreover, if relatives see these corpses, they will inevitably be heartbroken...... Since it costs money, I don't think it's necessary. This may be a ploy of the Jin people, in order to consume the money of our government's treasury! β
Tian He received the order: "Since the king said so, then do this." There is another thing, now that the Jin people have broken the Great Wall, there is no danger to defend; The Yue people attacked fiercely, and Xiang Ziniu rebelled, which was difficult to hinder...... Please also ask the king to make peace with the king of Yue. I am a minister, not a marquis, so I come forward to be inconsistent. If not, I really can't bear to be tired. β
Qi Hou only asked: "How can the Yue people withdraw their troops?" β
"Please drive with the king of Yue, and take it as a convincing. and then ceded Jianyang and Juling to the Yue people, and these two towns were originally the fiefdoms of the traitor Xiang Ziniu. The peasants in Jianyang and Juling were not allowed to migrate, and they must stay in the local area and plant with the king of Yue. In addition, with 3,000 Qi people as slaves, I think the king of Yue will also retreat. β
Qi Hou nodded, and with a sigh he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "But if you go to drive for King Yue, don't you want to leave the palace?" I couldn't stand the bumps along the way. But it would be nice to be able to bring these dancing girls along the way. Qing went to arrange and prepared more spirits for the sale of the ink maker. β
Tian He saw that the Marquis of Qi did not ask about the slaves and the two cities of Jianyang, but asked how to not be bored along the way, and was very satisfied, and after saying a few words, he retreated on his own.
Qi Hou asked Tian He to accompany him to drink a few more cups, and called the drums to sound in unison, and Tian He excused himself and left.
After a while, the concubine who was most favored by the Marquis of Qi suddenly said: "The king's favorite concubine's sword dance, there is good wine today, and the concubine will dance a song." β
The woman's voice was gentle but beautiful, crisp and beautiful, and her figure was enchanting.
This woman is the most favored by Qi Hou, originally a Yue person, so she is called Yue Nu, as early as when Qi Hou was not Qi Hou but a son, she had followed.
The more women will dance the sword, in the past Fan Li once said, "Now I hear that there are more virgins, out of Nanlin, the people of the country are good." May the king ask for it, and it will be seen immediately." The king of Yue was an envoy and asked about the art of the sword halberd.
Qi Hou seems to have something on his mind, if the Yue girl dances the sword on weekdays, he will appreciate it, but today for some reason, he seems to be a little absent-minded.
But when he looked up at the attendants sent by the Tian clan around him, he immediately hid the slightly dull appearance on his face, and said with a rough smile: "Okay! Come on, take the sword! β
Yue Nu said: "Foreign enemies attack, why show the sword!" Dance with the sword of the armor! β
After speaking, he reflexively fished and took out a bronze sword from the waist of the armorer beside him.
Yue Nu stood with a sword, her graceful figure and short sword in her hand, it was really sassy and heroic.
She stood there freely, and when the musician was about to prepare the song of the sword dance, Yue Nu said: "Today's dance, no need for music!" β
Qi Hou was stunned, but immediately smiled: "Okay, it's all up to you!" β
Yue Nu glanced at Qi Hou, shook her wrist, pulled out the copper sword, and stabbed it into the air, her crisp voice did not need to be accompanied by drum music, and she sang: "Obviously below, Hehe is above." It's hard to be a king, and it's not easy to maintain the king. The position of heaven is suitable, so that the Quartet is not coerced. β
As soon as she opened her mouth, everyone in the palace was shocked, this is a poem of Daya, not a sacrifice and no singing, this poem is singing about King Wu's war.
Qi Hou didn't seem to understand, but when he saw Yue Nu sing a sentence, the bronze sword stabbed forward.
Obviously in the bottom, the great in the top, the two sentences sang, the figure is respectful, it is poetic, it is the heart of heaven and earth.
The sky is difficult to understand, it is not easy to maintain the king, two sentences are sung, the sword intent is at a loss, it seems that although the heart of heaven and earth is really difficult to understand, the world is at a loss.
It is not easy to sing until the king is not easy. The heavenly position is suitable, so that when the Quartet is not coerced, he will be confused just now, and the short sword will look around, from the original ignorance of the will of heaven to the disbelief of the will of heaven, full of confidence.
This first paragraph is sung, and the posture is dancing, although it is not suitable for this situation, and it is not the time for sacrifice, but it also makes the people in the palace secretly admire.
This sacrificial song and dance is enough to attract people's attention by relying on this Yue Nu alone.
Sing to "Yin Shang's journey, it will be like a forest." Aiming at Muye, Wei Yu Hou Xing. When God is approaching the girl, there is no second heart", the sword of the Yue Nu danced faster and faster, which made everyone present think of the scene of the black clouds pressing the city when the wind and clouds were about to come in the summer, and they were afraid that it seemed that there would be thunder and earthquake in the next moment.
The more the girl's posture is getting faster and faster, and her voice is singing higher and higher.
When the song is sung to the Makino Yangyang, the sandalwood car is brilliant, and the voice of Peng Peng is sharper, and a few traces of gold and copper are sung, and it is like the horn flute played before the war, and the hearts of everyone present seem to be pulled into a line by this singing.
The dancing posture is not as fast as before, but it is more resolute than before, and each stroke makes people feel as if the mountain is about to fall down.
When everyone was wondering if the thread that had been pulled out in their hearts was going to be broken, the Yue Nu sang "Master Wei, Master Wei, Shi Wei Yingyang"!
Some of the attendants who had climbed Mount Tai looked at the figure of the Yue Nu and listened to the tune sung, and actually revisited Mount Tai in their minds.
Originally, there was the last sentence of King Liang Biwu, who wantonly attacked the big merchants, and would be Qingming, but the voice of the girl who didn't want to Yue stopped abruptly.
Everyone's hearts suddenly pinched, and they suddenly felt that the thread hanging in their hearts had been broken, but they didn't want Yue Nu to stop singing the previous text, but directly re-sang the highest tune "Master Wei, Shi Wei Yingyang".
Three sentences in a row, three sighs in a row, the short sword in his hand is also like the eagle flag on the car of the old prince.
After singing three sentences, Yue Nu crossed the sword in front of her, no longer sang the last paragraph, sweat beads rolled down her face, the copper sword in her hand shone, looked at Qi Hou who was in a trance on the side, and said loudly: "The king is the queen of Taigongwang!" At the time of the war, Taigong Wang personally rode the chariot and waved the eagle flag, how bold? β
"It is said that the husband should be ambitious, but how can you still have a trace of public hope now?"
"What flows in Jun's body is the blood of Taigongwang, who assisted King Wu to stabilize the world; It is the blood of the prince Huan who respected the king of Jiuhe in the past; It is the blood of Jing Gong who has Yan Yingwu and Sima Sui Tho in the Japanese text! β
"What do I see now? It's a faint marquis who only knows how to have fun, a coward who doesn't care about the blood of his countrymen, and a fool who is played with by the Tian family! β
"In the past, you were a son, and you still had the pride to make me respect and love, but now? Since you are a marquis, why is it better than when you were a son? β
"You've changed, and I don't want to see such a husband again! A husband is not as good as a woman! Cease! Cease! Cease! It's better not to see! It's better not to see! β
After saying three sentences in a row, in front of the neck of the horizontal sword, he stabbed hard, and the blood was immediately left, and the fragrance disappeared.
The faces of the guards all changed.
It's not because they see blood in the palace, Qi often has coups d'Γ©tat, and they have seen a lot of blood.
The reason why they changed color was because of the last words that this Yue Nu said, this is a big deal, and you must tell the people of the Tian family!
This Yue Nu is so bold, it is clear that she is inciting the king to rebel!
Several close attendants secretly looked at Qi Hou, only to see Qi Hou stumbling, running to the side of Yue Nu who had lost her breath, and suddenly cried bitterly.
Seeing Qi Hou's pain, the attendant was shocked, and said in his heart, Your Majesty, you really have a bad heart!
I didn't want Qi Hou to cry: "Your sword dance is the best, why did you die like this?" Where else will I go to watch such a sword dance in the future? I wanted to take you with me to form an alliance with King Yue, but wouldn't I be bored if you died all the way? What do you know as a woman? The mandate of heaven has changed, in the past, the Yellow Emperor won the Yan Emperor, and the Wu King won the Shang Dynasty, this is all the destiny of heaven. β
"The destiny of heaven is unpredictable, how can manpower violate ......"
He cried a few more times, only saying something like destiny, and saying that it would be difficult to see such a dance in the future and it would be very boring, and immediately drank three glasses of spirits, and seemed to be drunk.
When he was drunk and unconscious, he was still talking about unpredictable destiny, difficult manpower, and it would be difficult to see such a sword dance in the future.
His own attendants memorized these and returned to the Tian clan.
Qi Hou only said that he wanted to see things and think about people, so he left the sword with which Yue Nu committed suicide.
At night, the attendants reported what happened today to the Tian brothers.
Tian Hao asked Tian Hedao: "This matter ...... What do you think? Is it true or false that Lu Loan did this? β
Tian He smiled: "Whether it's true or not, it doesn't matter. Afraid that we will be suspicious, or that we will be angry with him, has he not begged us for mercy? β
Tian Hao was puzzled, and Tian He explained: "The Yellow Emperor is better than the Yan Emperor, this is the Mandate of Heaven. The mandate of heaven cannot be violated, how can the attendants understand? This is what is said to us. Taigongwang is after Emperor Yan, and you and I are after Emperor Huangdi, and it is in line with the mandate of heaven to replace it. β
As soon as Tian He said this, Tian Hao suddenly understood what Qi Hou meant. Whether it is whether Qi Hou has really completely settled down, or in order to cover up his thoughts, or he is worried that the Yue Nu incident will cause the Tian family to be unhappy, but this Yellow Emperor Yandi said that it is a really good thing.
At this time, there is no theory of the five elements, and no one can completely explain the Mandate of Heaven, and Qi Hou's statement is giving the Tian clan an excellent opportunity.
Now they are all saying that Han, Zhao and Wei have three Jiahe, and they obey the mandate of heaven; Now, if someone can be found to sort out the theory of the destiny of reincarnation, the Tian family can be regarded as a beautiful conversation.
Since the three generations of Zen have conceded, they can go ahead with Zen and then ask Zhou Tianzi to obey the mandate of heaven and seal the Tian clan as the marquis.
Jiang Shangnai is a descendant of Emperor Yan; And the surname Chen is also based on the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor defeated Emperor Yan and Chen Daijiang, which is in line with the mandate of heaven.
If you look for Confucian scholars again and again, and come up with the theory that the reincarnation of the destiny of heaven is always virtuous, you will no longer have to worry!
As for the affairs of several countries to fight Qi, in the eyes of the Tian brothers, they are all trivial, and the three Jin Dynasty do not have such a big appetite to destroy the Qi country, at most, in exchange for prestige to ask for the marquis.
The brothers agreed on this matter, regardless of the truth or falsehood of Qi Hou's attitude, since Zhiqu didn't have to think that he wanted to rebel, just believe his words, and chop the Yue Nu who spoke nonsense into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs.
In Qi Hou's bed, Qi Hou, who seemed to have been drunk before, looked at the sword that was still stained with fragrant blood, and muttered: "The thing I hate the most in my life so far is not that the Tian family deceived me, but that I can't let you know my mind before you die." β
"The Tian clan has become a success, the Guo clan, the Gao clan, and the Yan clan have all been destroyed, nine out of ten cities in the Qi country belong to the Tian clan, and they have a policy of inviting the people in the fiefdom, and the strategy of bad officials and mountains and seas, even if I have a heart, what can I do?"
"In the past, Gong Jian was just disgruntled, and he was hunted down to death by the Tian family, what can I do? Tian is often buried, accompanied by Jiuding, the world knows, what? Jian Gongxue, that is the killing of the king, but what is the shock of the princes? What is the use of Zhong Ni's anger? Isn't Confucianism the same thing now that Tian's family? β
"Several countries are fighting Qi, but the three Jin Dynasty took the opportunity to seal the marquis to find trouble, and I, the Marquis of Qi, will come forward to ask Zhou Tianzi to make the three Jin marquis, so as to prepare for the Tian family to replace my Jiang Qi in the future. Tens of thousands of people are just a play, and who really cares? β
"Ambition, ambition, where else will I have? I just want this life to be mixed up like this, if he Tian can really take Qi in the future, after all, this Qi is their country, and he will always treat the people well, and he will not send thousands of Qi people as slaves to the king of Yue in order to force me to make a fool of himself like now, and he will not even bury the corpses of the soldiers like now, just to let the Qi people scold me for being mediocre......"
"Collecting corpses, male and female slaves, and driving with King Yue...... If I don't even understand what this is for, I will live in vain. β
"That's it...... Since you have come from the land, if one day I am banished, I will ask for only one thing from the Tian family...... Do not cut over. This is the only thing I can do, see you in Huangquan in the future, and then tell you what I think. At that time, Taigong, Huan Gong, and Jing Gong...... Thirty generations of ancestors, what will they think of me? β
"I will keep this sword, and when I die, I will be a burial companion...... I just don't want to die. β
The lonely half-old man muttered to himself, wiped away his tears, squeezed out a smile, and waited for the day when he would continue to have fun, when a faint master who only knew that he had completely forgotten the blood of the prince and the glory of his predecessors.
He didn't dare to do the old dreams of his ancestors, only the weeping ripples that were not discovered were hidden, and the once glorious bloodline that he always wanted to forget.
The blood that the old nobles will shed, and the tears that the old nobles will shed at this time, are silently announcing the fact that an era of chaos and change is coming.
The spring and autumn season, which still talks a little about etiquette and etiquette, is about to end.
