[Three Kingdoms] Burning incense and sacrificial wine

Cui Song was in a daze, and the maid who took it as her duty to "share and relieve the master's worries" approached him with small steps.

"My lord, it's already five quarters. Do you want to play the piano?"

The word Fuqin brought Cui Song back from the shock of "surrounded by great people", and turned it into an unbelievable horror.

"What did you say?"

The maid dressed in a crescent moon skirt obviously couldn't understand why Cui Song suddenly changed his voice. She glanced at his expression with puzzled eyes, then quickly lowered her head, "It's already five quarters, young master, do you want to play the piano?"

Cui Song, who has always been the "cow" in "Playing the Piano to a Cow", suddenly stiffened his back.

What made him feel even more frightening was that the cheap nephew sitting opposite had a look of expectation in his eyes.

From this, it can be seen that the original owner's piano skills are probably very good... But knowing this is useless. If you don't know something, you just can't. bomb?

Perhaps it was because he had been silent for too long, Cui Yan sat upright, bowing his hands solemnly: "Is there something on your mind, Uncle?"

Cui Song cheered up, and was about to use "Yes, I have a lot of worries and don't want to play the piano" as an excuse to avoid the crisis of revealing his secrets, but Cui Yan bowed to each other, and said very sincerely, "If it is not appropriate to say it clearly, uncle will use the piano music as an excuse." Let’s chat for resolution, how about it?”

The maid in a Xiang-color dress swiftly moved out a piano and put it on the piano case that had just been replaced in front of Cui Song.

Cui Song: ...

Only then did Cui Song realize that in ancient times, the guqin was not only a symbol of elegance, but also had another important function—expression.

When you are in a good mood, play the piano.When you are in a bad mood, play the piano.When bored, play the piano.Thousands of words do not know how to express, playing the piano.Crazy with joy, play a song.Sad to the point of death... What are you still hesitating about, of course playing the piano to vent.

As the so-called "smooth", "cao", "yin" and "nong", the "cao" in it is a kind of piano music born of sorrow.

Therefore, in the eyes of Cui Yan and the two maids, Cui Song, who is "preoccupied", really needs to play the piano more than ever!

But Cui Song felt that he was not at all!

He still wanted to save it, but before he could open his mouth, there was a paint basin and an incense burner in front of him.

"My lord, please wash your hands."

"..."

At this point, Cui Song could only numbly let the maid help him wash his hands, numbly lit a piece of incense, and put it on the bronze stove.

The guqin on the case has seven strings, the body is made of paulownia wood, and the head of the piano is carved with the pattern of a prisoner cow, which is lifelike and looks like a very high-end craft.

Cui Song's face was sullen, and his left fingertips rested on the strings of the qin; his wide sleeve brushed past, like a puddle of white ink smeared on the qin.

Suddenly, he pressed heavily, and Yaoqin let out a startled cry.

Cui Yan and the second maid were startled.

Cui Song withdrew his hands expressionlessly: "This is the only thing Song thinks about."

Cui Yan said solemnly: "I would like to hear the details."

"Does Ji Gui know Dong Zhuo?" Cui Song thought about this question before asking.Although he didn't know which year the sixth year of Zhongping was, but seeing that he was living in Luoyang now, he was living a happy life, and all the utensils and materials were fine, it must be before Luoyang City was burned down.And the expressions of the two maids are very calm, without any worries, so...the outside world should be relatively calm now, at least Dong Zhuo has not yet entered the capital, and Han Ling Emperor should not have received a lunch box, and he has not jumped on He Jin and the eunuch When jumping.

But although Emperor Han Ling is not dead yet, it is estimated that he will not be far away.After all, Cui Yan's age is put there. He was still very energetic when Cao Cao opened the mansion. If we push forward 20 years, how could it be the years when Emperor Han Ling was about to die?

Sure enough, Cui Yan didn't have any hatred for the name Dong Zhuo, and was even a little strange.

"Dong Zhuo...?" After recalling for a moment, Cui Yan asked uncertainly, "But Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhongying, the governor of Hedong?"

"Exactly." Su Bai's knuckles left the strings, Cui Song forced himself not to look at the tall and high-grade guqin, and sighed quietly, "The central government is exhausted, and wars are everywhere. The steel sword is neither the Yellow Turban Army, nor the eunuchs and relatives, but the soldiers and horses who stick to the place."

With a flick of Cui Yan's wrist, a little of the liquor in the wine bottle spilled out, and there were a few streaks of strange color on the black robe.

He glanced at Cui Song inexplicably in horror, calmed down, and put the wine bottle on the table.

There was a slight "click", just like the strong color in Cui Yan's eyes, which made Cui Song's heart skip a beat.

Under Cui Yan's deep and innocent gaze, Cui Song's expression was indifferent, but his heart was already in a mess.

Just when he wondered if he had failed in pretending, Cui Yan was sitting with his back bent, looking at him with burning eyes.

"Uncle's implication is to imply that Dong Zhuo will carry out Bian Zhang and Han Sui's actions to create chaos and seek rebellion?"

Bian Zhang and Han Sui, famous Xiliang warlords in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, rebelled after the Yellow Turban Uprising was suppressed in 184.Its army is so powerful that it is invincible, shaking the whole country.From then on, the prestige of Xiliang's army shocked the world.

After the death of Emperor Han Ling, this rebel army did not withdraw from the stage of history, but continued to cause chaos and became a separatist force.

That's right, it was Han Sui and his predecessor who died inexplicably after being plotted against by Cao Cao and Jia Xu together with Ma Chao.

Hearing Cui Yan mention these two people, Cui Song remembered such a incident.

Although Dong Zhuo's situation is different from the previous two, what he did is even more notorious than Bian Zhang Han Sui and his like.

The emperor was abolished, puppets were erected, five baht was changed, and Luoyang was burned.

Looting and plundering, fortifications, massacres, barbarians heretics.

Even if he is actually brave and generous, he is destined to not hide his flaws and leave countless black spots on the curtain of history.

For Cui Song, he doesn't want to be a "prophet" with "magical calculations", and he doesn't want to comment on current heroes.

The reason why Dong Zhuo was brought up was that the arrow had to be fired - he was in a hurry to change the topic and get over the matter of playing the piano.

However, one nonsense needs a hundred tricks to smooth it out, and now he has to bite the bullet and make it up, relying on the "prophet" to deal with all doubts.

Cui Song allowed his cheap nephew to diverge his thoughts, and the old god ordered the maid to serve another bottle of sake.

"Nowadays there are many wars and disasters, and the Lord is very suspicious. Even if Dong Zhuo has no such intentions, how does Ji Yu know that there will be no other Zhao Zhuo, Li Zhuo, and go to Han to follow in the footsteps?"

"Uncle be careful!" Cui Yan was taken aback by his words "The lord is so suspicious". It is a special period when Shengwei is in decline, and it is a felony to speak falsely about the emperor. The prestige is still there, loyal people are all over the world, and there is a great general He Jin in Beijing who is in charge of the court, and the captain Jian Shuo protects the king. Although Han Sui and other rebels have rebelled for many years, they can't shake the foundation of the great man. Why is uncle so worried?"

Cui Yan said it very bluntly. Although he affirmed the potential threats in the local area, he obviously did not think that those threats would directly destroy the Han regime.

At least not yet.

A centipede is dead but not stiff.With the name of the Son of Heaven and the presence of the central army, although the current local forces are not subject to discipline, they will not shake their roots.Even the army as powerful as Han Sui defeated the imperial court many times, frightened the central government, and never really threatened the rule of the big man.

In fact, Cui Yan's thinking was not wrong. It is not long before the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the central government was forced to decentralize military power.No matter how strong the local army is, the Han Zuo that has lasted for hundreds of years cannot be overthrown just by overthrowing it.If it wasn't for the fact that after the death of Han Lingdi, the group of foreign relatives and the eunuchs strangled each other to death, the little emperor lost his most solid backing, the military power fell to the side, and Luoyang was in chaos, the Eastern Han Dynasty could have continued for at least a few decades—it wasn't just empty puppet state.

If Cui Song hadn't relied on the convenience of the prophet, and under the premise that the He Jin Group is in full swing, he would not be able to say, "What are eunuchs and eunuchs? These words.

It's a pity that there is no if.Because he was eager for quick success and quick profit to force the dog to jump over the wall, He Jin was not only aggrieved by the eunuchs, but also lured wolves into the house, recruited Dong Zhuo to Beijing at the most chaotic time, and handed over the fruits of victory.

As for the little emperor's other protective umbrella, the eunuch group was also slaughtered by Yuan Shao and others, not even a single hair remained, and immediately became fat on the chopping board.

After Cui Song sorted out his thoughts, he raised his hand to signal the maid to move Qin away.

He casually lifted the top cover of the incense burner and fiddled with the incense ash in the burner with a small drill.

"This man, He Jin, is brave but not scheming, acts recklessly, and is at odds with Empress He. Power belongs to him, which is a life-threatening poison, and it is by no means the foundation of one's life. Jian Shuo and other ten regular attendants are greedy, sell officials and nobles, and act inferiorly without any means. It is taboo, and since the party was imprisoned, there has been grievances for a long time. Once they lose the protection of the emperor, they will surely kill themselves." Cui Song covered the incense burner and put the small pliers back into the dark compartment of the incense table, "Both of these are not enough and a conspiracy A local calamity will sooner or later become a prairie fire."

Cui Yan nodded thoughtfully, but did not let go of the loopholes in Cui Song's words: "There are many people who hold talismans and have made great military achievements, and there are countless people who are ambitious—why does uncle only mention Dong Zhuo?"

——Because I only remember Dong Zhuo ah.

Cui Song felt that this cheap nephew was really difficult to deal with, and he had to investigate everything to the end... Maybe this was one of the reasons why he was bestowed to death by Cao Cao in the end?

"Dong Zhuo?"

Cui Song found that the voice of this body is very distinctive now, not only the timbre is clear and pleasant, but also has a lazy feeling at all times.Especially when the ending is deliberately lengthened, there is always a sense of carelessness, even if Mount Tai collapses in front of your eyes, it will not change color.

#When I transmigrated, the biggest trouble I encountered was not wearing clothes, not surviving, but being stunned by my own voice, how to break it#

Seeing Cui Yan listening attentively, the corners of Cui Song's lips curled up slightly, and he changed the topic unexpectedly,

"It's just a casual mention. Song has never been an official, even if there are people with Bian Zhang and Han Sui, Song has no way of knowing. I just heard Dong Zhuo's name the day before yesterday, so I used it to show off... It's Song's fault." Negligence, call Ji Gui seriously?"

Cui Yan who was sitting opposite was stunned by his "casually", her handsome eyes widened.

Cui Song, who accidentally overacted and exposed his bad nature: ...

While he was heartbroken and silently chanting "Langbi is a moment of pleasure, go to the crematorium", he accidentally discovered that the maid standing by the side did not show any strangeness.Even the cheap nephew Cui Yan on the opposite side quickly regained his composure after the initial stare.

"Since uncle still has the mind to joke with Yan, Yan can forget about it."

……

What?

Unaware of Cui Song's astonishment, Cui Yan spoke a long paragraph again eloquently.

After listening for a long time without understanding, Cui Song barely understood the general idea.

According to Cui Song's understanding, the meaning of cheap nephew is this: Uncle is very intelligent, since Dong Zhuo is mentioned, he must have seen something, but because of some concerns, and Yan's talent is dull, that's why he doesn't want to be with Yan. deep said.Although Yan is not very intelligent, he is not a person who does not know good and bad... In short, uncle, you are happy.

Cui Song: "..."

He resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, and carefully recalled what his cheap nephew said, removing those words of praise for no reason, and there were two cryptic messages.

1. Due to some reasons, the original owner has been in a bad mood recently, and has been preoccupied and out of mind.Cheap nephew and others are very worried.

2. If there is a disagreement, he will play tricks, like to tease the eldest nephew... The original owner was originally this tune.

After receiving these two pieces of information, Cui Song felt the desire to twitch the corners of his mouth even stronger.

He thought he had a lot of flaws, but he didn't expect to hit the right one and avoid the danger of being exposed?

Cui Song tightened his grip and got up expressionlessly.

——After kneeling on the ground for so long, I feel that my legs are thicker.

——I don’t know how these ancient people who have been kneeling all the year round survived.

Seeing him standing up swiftly, Cui Yan was startled, and also straightened his clothes and stood up.

Cui Song didn't miss the seriousness on Cui Yan's face, he pretended not to know, but asked with concern: "Is Ji Gui tired? Or..."

He was about to say, "Why don't you go back to rest" and take the person away and think about the original owner's situation by himself, so as not to really reveal the truth if he continued, but he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, the cheap nephew gave him another Big hit.

Cui Yan waved his sleeves and said: "Yan doesn't feel tired, but only feels the general trend of the world. The country has no clear master, a traitor is in power, and the general trend is in the right direction. We, the scholars, are worried, but there is nothing we can do..."

Cui Yan sighed deeply, and then said, "Yan already promised my uncle yesterday—today I will have a sword fight with my uncle, how can I not keep my word and go back on my word?"

Cui Song almost lost his calm expression.

He knows that Cui Yan likes swordsmanship, and most of the literati in this era are both civil and military... But can you not compete with swords just because you disagree?He is an ordinary college student who only knows how to play basketball and Sanda, how can he compete with you with his head?
