Text Volume 2 Dawn Morning_Chapter 7 The Lonely Light Sea King
Although he couldn't see the surrounding situation, Li Hui also knew the size of the room he was staying in. The room was 12 feet long and 9 feet wide, and half a foot behind him was a screen, and in front of him was a table, on which there should be a glass of ear wine, a bowl of medicinal rice, and he could smell the sweetness of honey.
There is a faint sound of wind whistling outside the house, and although Iura is not near the sea, it is only 2 or 30 miles away from the sea. In winter, the northwest wind from the sea is particularly violent, and you can feel the chill even when you stay in your room.
But today, Li Hui heard the laughter from afar from the wind, "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, if you are still in Qingde Palace, you should go to send lamps to your ancestors today." ”
Li Hui sat silently in the dark, like a sculpture. He was immersed in the memories of the first half of his life, and in the stretching palace, his wife, favorite concubine, and beloved son appeared in front of him one by one, laughing and laughing around him.
It turned out that he was so happy at that time, why didn't he realize it at that time? Li Hui's heart ached inexplicably, and he suddenly felt tears on his face.
"Squeak." As the door on the left side opened, someone walked into his room, and Li Hui subconsciously lowered his head and wiped away the tears on his face.
Zhaorong Ren Aiying opened the door and saw that it was pitch black, and immediately sighed, she ordered a few maids behind her.
Several maidservants suddenly walked into the room, hung the lanterns they brought in their hands, lit the candles in the room, and then carefully withdrew.
After the light in the room shone brightly, Ren Aiying carefully looked at the table in front of Li Hui, the king of the sea. Seeing the food in front of Li Hui that had not been touched at all, she didn't feel a little worried.
Unlike Li Hui, who is already gray-haired at the age of 52, Ren Aiying is in a good season of maturity at this time.
The 32-year-old stood there with her back straight, and there was no trace of falling from top to bottom. The full breasts are hidden by the long skirt, but the short top outlines the straight line.
Her mouth is a little big, her forehead is a little protruding, and her face is a little long, but with light eyebrows, deep eyes and a straight and small nose, she has a lot of taste, in short, this is a plump and charming mature woman.
However, for Gwanghaejun Li Hui, all this is meaningless, his eyes have been blinded by lime water 4 years ago.
And Ren Aiying 4 years ago was just an unfavored concubine by his side, and he had long forgotten what she looked like.
"Dajun, today is the Shangyuan Festival, you have to eat a little. What if you go on like this, what if you break your body? After Ren Aiying finished saluting Guanghaijun, she knelt down and persuaded her.
"What's the point of living this kind of life, it's not bad to be able to see Qi'er early." Li Hui's face was blank, and he said to himself.
Ren Aiying's face froze, and she suddenly couldn't persuade anymore. Guanghaijun has only one son, Li Qi, the son of the king.
Ayayangjun Li Liang united with the Westerners to rebel and exiled Guanghaijun and Wang Shizi but was still not at ease, so he simply died two months later in the name of Li Zhen's attempt to dig a hole in the ground to escape.
Five months later, upon hearing the news of Wang Shizi's death, Princess Liu also died on a hunger strike. As a result, the people around Gwanghae-kun who used to value the most all died, and he also aged rapidly.
If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty asking about Guanghaijun's life and death several times, Ren Aiying thought that Guanghaijun might also be sick and die.
For them, the harem concubines, the king's death was very sad news, symbolizing that they were going to say goodbye to their old lives.
And as a deposed concubine, Gwanghae-kun's death only made her look more unfortunate.
Ren Aiying was a little flustered, wanting to boost the hope of Gwanghae-kun to survive, only if Gwanghae-kun lived, she would have a chance to get out of this sea of suffering.
As she racked her brains to think, she suddenly felt something in her sleeve, which made her settle down suddenly.
"Maharaja, when the concubine went out to put the river lantern today, someone stuffed the concubine with this thing, saying that it would be handed over to the monarch." Ren Aiying said and stuffed the contents of her sleeve into Li Hui's hand.
Guang Haijun was a little surprised, he groped for what Ren Zhaorong gave him, and suddenly the whole person froze, and only after a long time did he say: "What else did the person who gave you this thing say?" ”
Ren Aiying moved her body forward a little before she lowered her voice and said, "Someone who came asked me to pass a message to the Maharaja, please cherish yourself and wait for the coming day." ”
Gwanghae-jun found that he had no mood swings in his heart, and suddenly had a feeling of being bitten by snakes and insects, which made him feel both pain and a little more anticipation.
He tightly held the golden phoenix hairpin in his hand, which was a gift he gave to the princess Liu back then. After the Liu family was claimed to have died of illness, Li Liang pretended to let the Liu family collect her body.
Now that this phoenix hairpin can be delivered to him, it means that the wife Liu family finally can't hold back the loneliness.
Seeing that Guanghaijun's face became hideous, Ren Aiying had to advise: "Lord, this may be a conspiracy of His Highness. Besides, inside and outside this courtyard are all cronies arranged by His Royal Highness, so it's better for us to be cautious. ”
Guang Haijun's emotions finally calmed down, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Probably not, this golden phoenix hairpin is the first birthday gift I gave to Concubine Liu after I got married." At that time, I had not yet ascended the throne, so this phoenix hairpin was purchased outside the palace, and the production was not exquisite.
The only ones who can pick out this phoenix hairpin from Concubine Liu's jewelry and send it over are Concubine Liu's closest family. But you're right, it's all the traitor's cronies here, and we really can't be careless... How can there be the sound of horses' hooves? Who would be here at such a late hour? ”
Guanghaijun suddenly listened with his ears sideways, and said with a change of color on his face. "The sound of horses' hooves? Did the Maharaja hear it wrong? It's just the wind. Ren Aiying heard only the wind that was getting louder outside, and she replied a little inexplicably.
Guang Haijun ignored her, still listening with his ears sideways, and muttered in his mouth: "In the northwest direction, there are about dozens of horses, if you listen carefully, the sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer." ”
Seeing Guang Haijun so focused, Ren Aiying didn't dare to slack off, she closed her eyes and listened carefully.
The original whistling wind slowly added some noise, and then these noises slowly became clear, the sound of a group of knights hurrying.
A group of cavalrymen dressed in the armor of the Ming people, armed with torches, surrounded by three people, were galloping along the path. When they saw the village less than half a mile away that was illuminated by lanterns hanging on the Shangyuan Festival, they suddenly stopped.
Wang Huazhen stared at the brightly lit village in the distance, and said a little breathlessly: "Is that village in front of you the place where Guanghaijun is imprisoned?" ”
The young general who led the way suddenly turned around and replied, "Go back to my lord, it is this village." The day before the humble post, he pretended to be a merchant and learned the news from the villagers on the island. Moreover, when he came to visit him the day before yesterday, there was a house in the village that was surrounded by high walls, and no stranger was allowed to approach it. I thought that this Guanghai Jun must be here. ”
Wang Huazhen turned her gaze to this young general, looked at his heroic appearance, and couldn't help but smile and praise: "If you can rescue Guanghaijun, you will be the first credit." ”
Watching Wang Huazhen praise Mao Yongxi, Mao Chenglu was a little surprised, as the head of Mao Wenlong's righteous son, he was brave and powerful, and he was the leader of Mao Wenlong's family, and he had always been looked down upon by the generals on Phi Island.
Unexpectedly, he was robbed of a head by Mao Yongxi, and he was naturally unconvinced. Although Dongjiang Town has made a lot of meritorious contributions, the high-ranking officials of the imperial court are afraid of the risks of sea navigation, so no one is willing to go to the island in person to comfort the army.
Although the soldiers of Dongjiang Town were loyal to the Ming Dynasty, they were still quite dissatisfied with the situation that they seemed to have been forgotten by the imperial court.
At present, Wang Huazhen, the governor of Liaodong, toured Dongjiang Town with a reward, and informed everyone that after the beginning of spring, the imperial court would start to pick up the martyrs and disabled and sick soldiers, and the soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town suddenly became high-spirited.
The soldiers and civilians of Dongjiang Town, in the continuous battles, seemed to feel that the imperial court regarded them as a burden and an outcast, and they no longer had any hope for the Ming Dynasty.
After all, in addition to caring about how many Jiannu they killed, the imperial court was complaining about whether they had fraudulently received military salaries. The attitude of ignoring the lives of disabled non-commissioned officers and the families of non-war non-commissioned officers is really chilling.
When Chongzhen had just ascended the throne, he gave rewards to Dongjiang, and regardless of the size of his merits, he wanted to take these martyrs and disabled soldiers back to the mainland to raise them, which immediately touched their hearts and finally eliminated the worries of the soldiers of Dongjiang Town about the future.
And the one who was sent by Chongzhen to patrol can be said to be Wang Huazhen, the founder of Dongjiang Town, and also the handsome of Dongjiang Marshal Mao Wenlong, in the eyes of these soldiers in Dongjiang Town, Wang Huazhen is equivalent to the representative of Dongjiang Town in the court.
And the enthusiasm and respect of Mao Wenlong, the marshal of Dongjiang, for Wang Huazhen also made these soldiers of Dongjiang Town close, so Mao Chenglu hoped to be able to perform in front of Wang Huazhen, maybe the emperor could also hear his name.
Mao Chenglu said to Wang Huazhen: "Please wait here for the Lord of Fuyuan, and take the brothers to take this village for the adults, and they will definitely rescue Guanghaijun." ”
Wang Huazhen was about to speak, but when she saw Lin Yuanzhong, a hundred brocade-clothed households beside her, there seemed to be some embarrassment on his face, so he asked him, "What is Lin Baihu's different opinion?" ”
Lin Yuanzhong pondered for a moment and said, "If you use a strong attack, the lower officials are worried that they will not be able to save the living Guanghaijun. ”
Mao Chenglu, who has lived in Dongjiang Town since he was born and lacks awe for Jinyiwei, said a little unhappily: "Lin Baihu thinks that we can't capture a small village?" ”
Lin Yuanzhong smiled and said: "That's not it, I've heard of General Mao's bravery, but no matter how brave General Mao is, it will take time to rush into the courtyard, what if these guards send Guanghaijun back to heaven first?" What if they later blamed Guanghaijun's death on the Ming officers and soldiers? ”
